Here is the final chapter against zaizen why is this chapter not called Ryu vs pac man final instead of the previous chapter you ask? Because zaizen isn't pac-man anymore obviously. onto that note have a good reading everyone and wait for the next chapter who will introduce a lot of people who will accompany Ryu in his quest. P.S the chapter is much longer than the other I posted and it will possibly be starting to have this length in the future so stay tune

Chapter 5 : Rider time ! the king of time is….

Old world ten years ago

"%ù°hstoksokt)='é*ùdg(" was the incomprehensible word of a rider who had a modified zero one driver without a plate over it and an image of his helmet in the center he had an helmet looking like the helmet of Kamen rider metsuboujinrai but with a right blue lens and a left red lens, the white were replacing the former black of the helmet and black replacing the purple, the suit was composed of the same arm and leg part of Ark-one; the chest had a big cylindrical device named the orbital blinder it was completely black and had four set of two cables red and silver connected to it in X shape manner leading to some sort of generator in the back, around him was remnant of shocker member and four riders, Horobi, Jin, Vulcan and Valkyrie who were rolling on the ground before they got forced out of their transformations.

" what is this power? He can do telekinesis and move at high speed" said Jin while hardly getting up.

« *$=)a-è ra fà')à=à »*ù$%£§/. ? »

"What the problem with this Ark he doesn't know how to speak?" said Fuwa (Vulcan) while the "ark" rider had some erratic movement leaving after image of him as if he was here and not here at the same time.

" it seem it's not complete actually, his belt isn't complete or is damaged" said Yua (Valkyrie) pointing to the rider belt who were sending spark around the rider.

" haaaa…. What a shame I though this Ark-sama will be a good pawn.." casually sighed Azu walking onto the battlefield

"Azu…." Said Horobi while angrily looking at the humagear.

" long time no see Horobi, Jin and you two from A.I.M.S" said Azu with a slight wave of her hand.

" don't screw with us goddamn tin can this thing your creation again? how many times do we need to make you understand that no matter how much you create successor of the Ark we will wreck it to scrap!" angrily said Fuwa

" do what you want with him he is a failure from the beginning actually" coldly said Azu

" what?" said Jin with a shocked expression

" a failure? What do you mean by that?" ask Yua while taking aim at Azu with her Shotriser

" this failure don't obey to my orders and goes on a rampage the moment he transform plus he don't even recognize ally from enemy and destroy everything without a care like you already see" said Azu before she do a jump to dodge the Ark rider fist who crushed the floor where she were.

"ù!;:::,ç:ù^!"

" Onto that I leave him in your care but will you be able to kill him" said Azu before a black cloud surround her and disappear of the area leaving the riders alone.

" what do she mean by that?" asked Jin

"I don't know but for the moment we need to stop this guy whoever he is" said Fuwa before the four of them transform in their respective rider base form and charge at the Ark rider who use his "telekinesis" to send metal scrap onto them which didn't stop them before the five of them clash creating a blinding light.


Old building of the (morning)

Suddenly Ryu get up in a hurry and looked around him to see where he was, it was a big room with multiple computers under a plastic tarpaulin, an arcade game station and some servers that were turned off for a long time.

" where Am I ?" said Ryu before a short, elderly woman with gray hair styled into a netted bun, a large syringe poking diagonally out of it to the left. She has a notably small nose and eyes which are usually drawn as two little dashes, and a long mouth with defined nasolabial folds.

She wears a doctor's lab coat and a dress with yellow and red vest-like designs on either side, two yellow buttons, and a belt with a pink "R"-shaped buckle. She wears pink boots and has a helmet around the sides of her head, a purple-tinted visor joining it over her eyes. In addition, she walks with a cane designed like a syringe, her name is Shuzenji Chiyo also known as recovery girl.

" ah you're finally awake" said recovery girl startling Ryu

"who are you ? why am I half naked?" said Ryu in panic before receiving a hit from the cane of the old lady on his head.

" calm down you're safe for now Haima called me last night to come here and heal you" said recovery girl

"Haima?" said Ryu with a raised eyebrow while he get up

" yes the father of Hiro-Chan" said recovery girl

" wait he's named Haima?! And you call Hiro Hiro-Chan?!" said Ryu surprised by what he heard

" of course I do, Haima learned everything from me in the past before I started working for U.A and he became the director of his own hospital as well as become a dad" said recovery girl

Suddenly Ryu had a big headache with vision of what happen the last night while Ark and Genm use his body to fight the robol genome as well as his ride watch stolen and the capture of the two heroes who were there.

" I need to go" said Ryu before going for a bag of his belonging recovery girl must have brought here

" go to where? You're under medical treatment right now you'll stay here and I will not accept a no" angrily said recovery girl before hitting the ground with her cane .

" I can't stay here and waiting for thing to resolve by themselves especially when people are in danger" said Ryu while hitting the wall next to him making a crack into it.

" that a real hero mindset but also the dumbest mindset you have your body is reaching his limit all of your bone are damaged they need to heal before you try to do hero work else you will sustain irreversible sequel and be in impossibility of become a hero later." Say recovery girl while Ryu messily dress up.

" who said I'm a hero or I want to be one the reason for why I fight isn't to appear on newspaper or on the TV I fight for being stronger and put an end to an evil lurking away of this world" said Ryu with a deep voice making recovery girl shiver a little before two people enter the room, the two were Ashido and Kirishima who did come here on the demand of the director Kagami and Emu.

" sorry to intrude at the worst time but we couldn't stay hidden longer" said Ashido

" you two you heard everything?!" said recovery girl

"yes…." Said the two teenagers with grim expression

" even though I agree with you Tokiwa-san I can't acknowledge the fact that you have to go fight those guys again you will only kill yourself." Said Kirishima making Ashido nod

" see there's people worried about you right here what are going to do deceive them and go kill yourself or wait here the time thing settle down?" asked recovery girl

" it's obvious no" said Ryu while he finished dressing up wearing now a black jean with black and white basket and a white T-shirt in his hand before he rip apart his bandage he have on his torso letting appear a lot a scar on it and a big scar on his back going from the upper left shoulder to le lower right of his back. " I will fight, even if I have to die I will still get back up and continue to fight until the end just like my predecessor did" said Ryu before putting his T-shirt and pushing Ashido and Kirishima to go outside of the building and entering in an abandoned parking lot or more like it should be abandoned cause waiting inside it were the hero ingenium and his team who all had their arms crossed with a serious expression on their face.

" what do you want? I don't have time right now." Said Ryu as he had a hard time to walk right now.

" we are here on behave of your recent actions and maybe your future action " said ingenium with a stern tone

"which mean?" asked Ryu with a pissed off tone

" if you're going after Zaizen we will need to stop you for your own good" said ingenium

" try it if you can!" said Ryu before it take in hand his Forceriser and put it on his waist making the belt appear and attach itself on his waist in an animalistic manner making some of ingenium sidekicks to look frighten by it as well as Ashido, Kirishima and recovery girl.

" that's looked painful" said Kirishima putting his hand over his mouth by reflex

Ryu then took the rising hopper progrise key and lift his hand next to his head before activating the key.

Jump!

He then sluggishly put it inside the driver making it start the standby sound which sounded like an alarm while the rising hopper from the driver before it screech to ingenium team who got all frightened by the appearance of the hopper who start to jump from pillar to pillar as if it was threatening them to approach Ryu.

" if you let me pass you will not have to suffer injury but on the contrary don't complain you're injured after that" said Ryu while he grab the anchor of his driver waiting for an answer.

" bring it on you're just a kid who know nothing of the real hero world" said a side kick making his colleague nod to that.

" maybe but is it worse than the hell I did go through ?" said Ryu with a grim voice as he cracked his neck before calmly saying "Henshin!"

Forcerise

Suddenly the rising hopper charge at Ryu before dislocating into multiple pieces flying around Ryu and creating his black under suit before he spread his arm

Rising Hopper! a jump to the sky turn into a rider kick!

Suddenly restrain cable came out of his under suit before latching onto the flying part around him before forcing them onto him completing the transformation in zero-zero-one

Breakdown

( zero-one ost: ark zero theme )

As the transformation ended the cooler of his armor were smoking red with black electricity and a cry of fear could be faintly heard from it as well as the kanji for hatred (憎) the glimpse of a time.

Ryu looked at ingenium team while grunting before it took a step back and use his back leg to propel himself over the group before doing an aerial side kick onto a muscular sidekick sending crash into a pillar out cold as Ryu land where he was surprising everyone.

" what? I didn't saw him approaching!" said another sidekick before receiving a punch in his guts making him stumble back in pain before one of his colleague receptions him and another hit Ryu with a punch in his face, or should it have been like that Ryu backed up a little and did stop the punch sending the energy from the impact into his legs cracking the ground behind him.

"you're a tough potato, but I like to smash tough potato like you" said the man who hit him before a female hero jump in Ryu back to hit him but Ryu slightly turn his head and counter her attack with a reverse kick sending her backward before she reception herself whit a backflip.

" that a lot of kicking power he got I think it's related to that thing who fuse with him" said the female hero. Making her teammate nod.

" thanks" said one of her colleagues before he tried to grab Ryu to unable his movement but he let go of the other hero who forced his punch onto him and did a backflip dodging the two attack and putting him into a pinch as the hero circled him.

" quite tough for a kid actually shame that he don't like to follow the law and abuse of his quirk" said a sidekick making Ryu sighed to that.

" quirk this, quirk that, did all of you people think that if someone is strong it's because he must have one of those? Or is that because you just searching for an excuse for your own weakness?" said Ryu with a harsh tone angering the hero who said that but got calmed by ingenium who put his hand in front of him to stop him.

" don't act recklessly we only know little of his real abillity so rushing blindly isn't a good solution" said ingenium making his sidekick apology to him.

" you're a good talker but is that enough to be a "hero"?" said Ryu while making his kaban calibur appear in case mode.

" a hero must be one to know how to talk to reassure civilian in emergency and such other moment" proudly said ingenium before Ryu start to chuckle.

" you're an idiot too you talk too much for your own good" said Ryu before inserting the breaking mammoth progrise key inside his kaban calibur

Progrise key confirmed ready to utilize! Breaking Mammoth's ability!

Ryu then punch the button of the side

Charge!

Before pulling the trigger and hitting the floor with the kaban calibur still in case mode

Breaking Charge!

As he hit the floor a mammoth construct appear and smash the floor making it deform and sending the hero away knocking them out cold to the surprise of recovery girl, Ashido and Kirishima who didn't though he could do that much damage in his state.

"like I said don't come crying I don't tell you beforehand" said Ryu while he get up but had a slight vertigo due to the use of his driver .

"Tokiwa!" said Kirishima going to Ryu and grabbing his arm to help him getting up before the later push him away.

"I'm fine I can still fight." Said Ryu before someone can be heard clapping in his hand through the parking lot, the man appear from afar he was as young as Ryu and were wearing a red T-shirt under a black short-sleeved Shirt he had a black cargo pants and red and black battle boots, he had short black hair combed with hair gel and hazel eyes.

" nice fight for someone who struggle to walk" said the young man making everyone raised an eyebrow to the sudden appearance of the man.

Who are you?" asked recovery girl but the young man ignore her.

" tell me Ryu why didn't you became Zi-O yet?" said the man surprising even more everyone apart from Ryu .

" I can't and you know it…. Doruzo" said Ryu making the said Doruzo sigh.

" always finding an excuse about that even though it's been two months now, since you came here what you only did was messing around without really trying to earned this power" said Doruzo before he crack his knuckles and took out a ziku driver he throw to Ryu.

" use it now or I will force you to become this!" said Doruzo while taking out a blue and red progrise key that make Ryu feel uneasy.

" I said I can't and I don't want to become this thing again" said Ryu before throwing the ziku driver back to Doruzo who grab it and put it on his waist.

" then you will have to fight your inner demon" said Doruzo before he took from his pocket a black ride watch with a red dial .

" you.. you can use it?" said Ryu surprised by the ride watch while the three other looked confused to what was happening.

" of course unlike you I'm not afraid of myself or of what my power could become.." he said as he activate his ride watch

"Geiz!"

He then put it in the right slot of his driver before hitting the top button of the driver letting it slightly spin while a hologram of a digital clock appear in his back "…. And do you know why? Because I'll be the true savior" said Doruzo before he spread his arms forward as if he was throwing a fireball before he do a half circle with both of them finishing with his right arm under his driver and his left arm over it.

"Henshin!" he then grab each side of his driver before wildly spinning it making the driver do a 360° turn coming back to his original place as it announce .

Rider Time! Kamen rider Geiz!

As the announcement goes three giant watch straps appear around Doruzo forming little by little his armor as the hologram in his back was on 00:00 and expulse the hirigana of the word rider out it before it flew back to Doruzo's armor making his visor .

His suit is a lot like Zi-o but is mostly red and black his helmet look like a digital watch with black contouring and white face and mouth plate around his yellow visor.

" he is a Kamen rider too?! And he look like Zi-O!" exclaimed Ashido in shock while Doruzo belt make appear from a hologram an axe.

Zikan Zax! OH No!

Ryu and Doruzo look at each other before yelling a battle cry and charge at each other with their weapon before clashing them against each another.


During that time inside a hidden lab

The next genome group did finish their evolution into genomes and were released from the pods they were in.

" so how is it? Did the data are good?" asked Zaizen

" yeah they're really good ….but they're not completely what we did expect it's like it's missing something" said the head scientist before showing a tablet full of data to Zaizen.

" what are we missing so much to attain our final goal?" said Zaizen while looking at the data before he thought of something " we need more data…" he said making the head scientist raise an eyebrow.

" what do you mean by more data?" ask the scientist

" we need data about Quirks and the modification it do to the body if we got that we will be even more perfect…. No we will surpass the perfection and be the ultimate life form" said Zaizen while a maniac grin on his face.

" I see that's sound like a perfect dream …. I think I know where we can have such data." Said the head scientist with a grin.

" where?" asked Zaizen

" the Touto research facility they store data about hero there to help them in the development of assist tool for hero, if we get to "use" their data you will be what you want to be with this new form even a god" whisper the scientist in Zaizen's ear making him grin maliciously .

"In that case I could use those power too then?" said Zaizen while pointing to the ride watch holder with all of the ride watch on it.

" maybe but in your condition it'll be impossible you must perfect your power for that before" said the scientist making Zaizen nod

" so if no one against that let's head to the Touto research facility " exclaimed the scientist to everyone who cheered in unison to the statement before starting to pack everything needed to the last phase of their plan but when a scientist took the ride watch holder the ghost ride watch shined and hit the scientist before flying away fleeing the laboratory without being catch by the scientist .

"I'm sorry" said the scientist who got hit by the ride watch.

" don't worry we will get the chance to take it back as well as his owner" said the head scientist with a grin.


Back at Ryu

The two riders were trading blow after blow on each other and from where Ashido, Kirishima and recovery girl were this wasn't some sort of hardcore training each blow were meant to kill.

"why are you fighting against each other?! Aren't you two friends?" said Ashido with tears in her eyes before Kirishima put an hand on her shoulder.

" Ashido…. I think it's the only way for them to speak ….it's through battle and nothing else" said Kirishima with a saddened tone, as the two of them were looking powerless to the battle Ryu and Doruzo were doing a strength contest with their weapon trying each of them to get the upper hand on the other before the two of them start to run without leaving the clash before after a dozen of meter taking some space between them and putting their own transformation gimmick inside their weapon

Jump!/ Geiz!

Progrise key confirmed . ready to utilize. Rising hopper's ability!/ Finish Time!

Ryu closed and open his kaban calibur charging energy into it and making appear yellow neon tendril around his blade

Full Charge!

The two riders look at each other before doing an energy slash vertical for Ryu and horizontal for Doruzo

Rising, Kaban Dynamic!/ Geiz! Zakuri Cutting!

The two attacks explode before the two riders do another one who explode stronger raising a smoke screen blinding Ryu and Doruzo before Ryu heard.

YOU!ME!

And when the smoke clear a little he saw Doruzo aiming his zikan zax in Yumi at him before he shot several energy arrows

Geiz! Giwa Giwa Shoot!

Ryu used his kaban calibur to counter the arrow but got hit in the hand which send his kaban calibur stab into a pillar a dozen of meter away, Ryu didn't had the time to curse because Doruzo were already a few meters away from him and slashed him multiple time across his chest sending spark around them before Ryu got propelled away rolling on the ground trying to get back up but failed as he fall on his back and lost his transformation due to his progrise key being into his weapon and away for too long now.

" you're weak… and it worsen the more you don't reveal your real wish" said Doruzo while panting before grabbing Ryu by the collar and lifting him up.

(End song)

" if you don't want to accept yourself, then die to yourself" said Doruzo before putting the key inside Ryu driver and activating his transformation which were painful to Ryu as he stumble back red and blue electricity surround him before metallic object surrounding the area start to glue over his body as his body got completely surrounded by the metal scrap it start to melt and form the Ark rider from the beginning of the chapter as the progrise key only said

Exode ability's


Years before Kujigoji-dō

In front of the clock shop three kids were wounded and crying on the ground while three other kids were standing two of them where a little bit away of the group while the same kid that appear in Ryu dream was standing in front of the three kids with an expressionless face and some wound on his tightened fist.

" we will take our revenge one day remember that toki-baka" said one of the three kids before the three of them ran away while crying.

" ….. like I care" said the kid while looking at his wounded hand mostly due to the hits he gave to the other kids.

" Ōji-sama…" said one of the kids behind him she a girl around his age with long raven black hair and brown eyes she wear a white dress and she is hiding behind a boy the same age also with black hair but short and hazel eyes he was wearing a red T-shirt with a black short .

The said Ōji-sama turn to look at the girl before sighing. "gomen.. I overdid it again" said the kid before a man in his thirty appear out of the clock shop he had brown hair and brown eyes he was wearing casual clothe under an apron his name was Tokiwa Sougo the first Zi-O and the dad of Ryu .

" What happen ? did you hit someone again?" said Sougo to the kid that had indeed hit the three other kid.

" yes…" said the kid before heading inside the shop.

" Ryu wait, I will go find the first aid kit" said Sougo before signaling the two other kid to enter too.

Some minutes later Ryu was sitting at a table in the clock shop while the two other kids were in the kitchen looking at him with a worried expression .

" so what happen this time? Did they call you freak or Baka?" ask Sougo while going down the stairs with a box full of bandage but Ryu didn't answer and turn his head to not face his dad.

" I'll not yell at you, you know I just want to understand why you did this" said Sougo while crouching to be at the same height as Ryu.

" I'm not afraid it's just it'll be a pain in the ass to explain" said Ryu making his father sigh but the girl in the kitchen ran to Sougo and grab his apron to take is attention .

" what is it Amaterasu-Chan?" ask Sougo

"…. Protect…me" muttered Amaterasu

"hum?! Nani? I didn't hear it" said Sougo to Amaterasu who was a very shy girl and had a lot of problem to talk to people even those she know.

She took a big inspiration before yelling " Ōji-sama protect me!" thus making Ryu and his dad cover their ears and fall comically on the ground from the shear strength of the yell .

" I see hahaha" said Sougo with a nervous smile before patting Amaterasu's head who was now blushing .

" so Ryu did it to protect someone I'm proud of you" said Sougo to Ryu who were still looking the other way.

" I didn't do it for that I was wondering if I could feel something by saving people like you, Oji-san and Oba-san did before, but there was nothing that change in the end" said Ryu while looking pissed.

" I see you're always on that problem about how you feel" said Sougo with a sigh before he move Ryu to face him.

" I don't know how hard it is for you but I know one day you will be able to express yourself more easily whether it's smiling or crying" said Sougo while smiling but Ryu heard this a lot too much and somehow had enough.

" you don't even understand, no you can't understand how hard it is" said Ryu before getting up and pushing his dad before running outside followed by his father but a customer happen to come at the same moment stopping Sougo in his pursuit.


Ryu ran a long way and stop on a bench next to the Seito university hospital before starting to talk to himself.

" they all say that but none of them can understand how hard I have to deal with that problem ….. maybe it'll be easier if I never come back and disappear" said Ryu before someone sit next to him.

" Running away, again?" said the man who were Hanaya Taiga

" it's not your problem" said Ryu before he got hit on the head by an angry taiga.

" don't lack respect with people older than you call me sensei first thing first" said Taiga with an angry tone.

" stop hitting me like this I will become dumber than you if you continue" said Ryu while massaging his head , while taiga had a pulsing vein on his forehead.

" you little…." Said Taiga before someone put his hand on his shoulder.

" what the problem snipe ? Ryu make fun of you again?" said a man with slightly curly black hair and brown eyes wearing a long coat with short sleeve slightly open with a blue and purple sweater under it a purple short pant with black boots, it's was the bugster Parado.

" don't put your nose into that Parado" said snipe while taking the hand of Parado away from his shoulder.

" Come on don't be like that I did come to play with him" said Parado turning into a cloud of orange pixel and reforming itself next to Ryu.

" If that the case then you responsible of him" said Taiga

"Yosh Ryu come with me then" said Parado before leading Ryu into the hospital to the room where Hojo Emu work normally but right now he was on a break and was playing videogame with some kids.

" Emu look who's here today " said Parado while entering the room and spreading his arms to point Ryu with it.

" Hooo Ryu-Chan ?! what are you doing here ?" asked Emu before he saw the wounded hand of Ryu " you're injured?! Let me take care of that" as he said that Emu give Ryu a chair and took out of a cupboard a first aid kit.

Some minutes later after Emu ask Ryu why he is here and bandage his hand.

" I see you still on that it must be really hard especially at your age it's the time of your life where you need social interaction with other kid of your age" said Emu

" Dad already told me that, that's why Doruzo and Amaterasu stay with me most of the time" said Ryu with a frown " I' m pretty sure they do this by pity actually"

" Why would they do that? For me they are with you for who you are" said Emu while smiling .

" there's nothing interesting about me" said Ryu

" There is! It's just that you don't know it for the moment but in the future you will see what make you unique and maybe help you with your actual problem" said emu before taking out a little taddle quest gashat this one being a game cartridge rather than an Henshin device " want to continue where we stopped last time" said emu while shaking the gashat while Ryu nodded.


Some hours later.

" Ha watch out your life gauge almost fully depleted" almost yelled Emu while pointing the said life gauge on the screen.

"Here there's a life bonus take it" said Parado with the same tone as Emu before …

" YOU LOSE" said the game before Ryu sighed while massaging his forehead.

" Haaa…. You'll win next time for sure" said Emu to recomfort Ryu even though the latter wasn't affected by his lost.

" I'm not suited for videogames I think" said Ryu with a sigh

" don't say that you are pretty far in the game and it was a secret boss fight after all you just need to gain more XP and learn the weakness of the enemy and also upgrade the affinity with your companions it's the first time I see someone that bad at it". Said Parado looking at the affinity with the companions who were all at zero.

" Be it a game or in real life I'm bad at it" sighed Ryu

" you're not bad at it it's just you don't know how to do it try on a different angle, for example talk with that companion here" said Emu pointing to a magical girl themed companion.

[yo brave, what do you want?] said the magical girl with a boyish voice even though she had a girly face.

" Now try to talk a little more to her to raise her affinity with you" said Emu as minute pass Ryu try different manipulation and in the end got to raise the affinity level ….by 1 out of 100.

" You see you did it it's a big step forward" said Parado while patting Ryu's head.

" it's hard to understand people but I think I start to get the gist of it" said Ryu with a smile surprising Parado and emu who back a little to whisper to each other.

" Did he just smile?" asked emu

" Yeah, that's the first time I saw him do that " responded Parado before Ryu look at the clock and saw it was late now.

" I should go back home and apology to dad …I think" said Ryu while getting up

" you're right, do you want me to take you home ?" said Parado

" No I'm pretty sure that my dad call someone to get me back safe" said Ryu and as if on cue someone knock on the door before entering revealing Horobi .

" Oh hello horobi-san are you here for Ryu?" asked emu while bowing to horobi.

"Yes but only because I was in the sector.." coldly said horobi before Jin push him to greet Ryu

" Hello Ryu long time no see" said Jin while lifting Ryu in the air embarrassing the latter.

" Can you put me down I think I will throw up" said Ryu who turn green in color before Jin put back on the ground .

" sorry" said Jin . Jin is a humagear bearing almost every trait of a human unlike other humagear he have ears and an earpiece on the right this thing is actually his module allowing him to send long distance information and receive it he have messy black mid length hair black eyes he wear a dark grey business suit with small white vertical line on it he had a silver shirt under it, he wear maroon choose and have a brace with a chain on it where is attached a red progrise key.

" Are you sure you're here just because you were passing by?" asked Parado with a raised eyebrow

" don't worry about that, horobi and I were indeed patrolling but it's been a long time since the last Ark appear now so we maybe can ease up a little now but we still stay on our guard." Said Jin with a smile .

" it's intriguing on our end too bugsters stop appearing recently" said Emu

" I hope it's not the calm before the storm" said horobi before he give his hand to Ryu " on that we will bring him home and look deeper into that mystery and stay on our guard"

" Us too, have a safe trip" said Emu before Horobi Ryu and Jin goes out.


On the road

" So have you improved on your social skill now?" asked Jin to Ryu

" I don't know yet but I think I will try harder from now on I can't stay like this forever and today make me realize it, I need to raise my affinity with people be it a game or the real life" said Ryu while tightening his fist.

" that's the spirit, I'm sure you will be able to be a boy with lot of friends in the future" said Jin before they received a distress call from A.I.M.S not too far from their position.

Horobi looked at Jin who nodded before kneeling to be at Ryu height " Ryu go find somewhere to hide we got an urgency we will not be long" said Jin before him and Horobi run in the direction of the battle .

But unknow to them a girl with long black hair and red streak into it, red eyes and wearing a black gothic outfit and had a humagear module replacing her ears she was Azu and she was hidden in the shadow and smirked when she saw Ryu alone before walking to him changing the color of her streak to a cyan color as well as her eyes from red to blue.

" Ryu-sama" she said approaching before bowing but Ryu took a step back .

" Who are you? Why do you try to look like Izu?" said Ryu before Azu sighed and change her colors to their originals ones.

" It seem even though you're just a kid you're not easily fooling in the end." Said Azu

" No you're just an idiot to think you could fool me with just a change of color" said Ryu with a deadpanned expression slightly angering Azu who click her tongue.

" You don't mince your word for a kid don't you?" said Azu

" I don't care" said Ryu while sighing

" Sure you don't care about yourself but …" said Azu before having an uneasy smile appearing on her face "… what about the people you know?" at that Ryu looked at her with a raised eyebrow and start to feel inside him some anger .

" What do you mean by that?" asked Ryu without losing his composure.

" Well let's say that where Horobi and Jin go is a trap to kill them and by the same way kill other riders

If possible what will you feel if they were to die all of them Horobi , Jin, ex-aid, snipe, zero-one, your two little friends and your father?" said Azu with a wide smile.

Ryu looked at her and could totally felt that she wasn't joking he didn't see that he unconsciously tighten his fist when hearing that.

" I knew it, inside you lies a deep dark feeling, you cannot express love only express hatred because that what you are, a being who only stand for negative feeling." Whisper Azu in Ryu's ear.

"Shut up" yelled Ryu while violently pushing back Azu who stumble a little before smirking.

" If you want to prove me wrong use this and show me your will" said Azu making a zero-one driver appear out of nowhere as well as a blank zetsumerise key before tending them to Ryu who looked at it with uneasiness.

" What are those? Why do it look like what Aruto-san use?" ask Ryu while he unconsciously grab the driver and the key.

" Those are the power you want" said Azu

" The power I want?" asked Ryu

" Put the driver on your waist and activate the key after that the warrior lying inside your mind will awakened and fulfill your true wish be it good or bad." Said Azu before she took Ryu hand and place the driver on his waist making the belt appear around him.

" My wish?..." said Ryu while looking at the key as his heart start pounding in his chest and in his mind he see a world destroyed as well as the back of a rider standing on a pile of rubble before the latter look in his direction.

"Do it!" said Azu in an authoritative tone making Ryu activate the key at the same moment

EXODE

At that exact same moment Ryu's body got surrounded by a blue and red smoke circling around him while he grunt in pain as his body somehow got bigger before taking the shape of an adult and sending spark out of him around the area making electric wire explode as well as generator while he yell out in pain and anger with a modified voice sounding like a robot.

" I welcome you Ark-sama" said Azu while bowing to the unfinished transformation before she dodge by the thread of a hair an attack from Ryu who create a crater where Azu were.

" Why do you attack me?! I'm on your side!" said Azu before the smoke surrounding Ryu disperse and making appear the Ark rider)

Aàthçzyh'àhka!*ù$^)=)a')_='è-='&

" Strange it's the first time it happen …." Said Azu while pinching her chin before shrugging "…. Like I thought you're a failure from the beginning I knew I shouldn't have listen to those idiots" said Azu before the rider got surrounded by electricity and jump high in the sky to the surprise of Azu.

" What power does this form bear …." She said before walking to where Ryu go.

At the same moment with Horobi Jin Vulcan and Valkyrie, they were fighting shocker grunt with ease the only problem was the fact that there was a lot of them.

"How do they have so much men to fight for them are they printed like copy paper or what?" said Fuwa while shooting on a group of shocker grunt who explode at the impact.

" don't ask question for now fight them until they're all defeated" said Valkyrie before she heard a sound in the sky and saw a red and blue lighting ball coming their way.

" Everyone take cover!" she yelled before the ball hit the ground destroying everything around it and leaving only rubble or lifeless body of the shocker grunt.

" who's that?" asked Jin while getting up before shocker grunt run to attack the newcomer but as they tried to hit him their attack somehow got deflected bullet curve around him and melee attack always miss no matter what even though the rider didn't move.

« "'''''à('&=)"à'àç(é-èàçé"tkq*r »

At that the rider lift his hand up and send a shockwave sending the shocker grunt fly in the air before they got stabilize by an unknow power and before metal piece start to float around the rider .

"gztbot-z)à"çé'="

Suddenly the piece stabilize themselves before being send to the shocker grunt destroying all of them in a big explosion who hit the four other riders making them roll on the ground and kick them out of their transformation.


Satellite ZEA during the fight between Ryu and Doruzo

The interior of the satellite was a dark place with blue binary number appearing here and there, Ark was looking in some files concerning Ryu Hiden Aruto let in the satellite , as he was reading for a long time now he find out Ryu was have been a candidate for being the bearer of the Ark legacy but end up being a failure unable to control itself and got severely wounded by Horobi Jin Fuwa and Yua during their clash leaving Ryu in a coma who last for three months and a big scar on his back, even though he didn't show it Emu was pretty sure that Ryu remember everything from that moment but denied it when people asked him, he most certainly develop a trauma after this experience making afraid of himself and trying to hide it by becoming more sociable on the exterior, but this make him unstable mentally and unable to correctly use rider's power and somehow create a variant in the power of the king of time making him unable to fuse power for a short period before collapsing, it's not know if something took over his body the entity could use this power.

" I understand more now why he survive the transformation in Ark-zero then" muttered Ark to himself before the interior of the satellite shift from a dark place to a rocky wasteland with grey cloud in the sky.

" what is this?" said Ark as he try to understand what before two figure appear on was the Ark rider and the other was looking like him but with a white armor on him the chest had a red X on it and it doesn't had cable coming out of the body it looked like a lot more like zero-one it was Ark-One a form normally accessed by using the ark-one progrise key in the ark driver, but it have been destroyed years ago and the data from it have been erased to unable Ark to use it against the Kamen riders.

"where am I?" said Ark-one as he appear with a voice Ark recognize easily.

" Tokiwa Ryu?!" muttered Ark as Ryu looked around him and from his point of view he only see the Ark rider who were immobile before suddenly out of the ground different weapons appears making the place look like the unlimited blade works in fate stay night, behind Ryu big clock gears appear in the sky but they were frozen and didn't move.

" did you finally decide to accept me?" said the younger Ryu who appear next to the Ark rider, making Ryu feel angry to that statement.

" I will never acknowledge a power that did hurt my friends in the past and can possibly make me become a monster even more than what I'm already are" said Ryu before he grab two kaban calibur in front of him and raised them out of the ground.

" so you prefer to fight then" said the kid before he walk to the Ark rider and enter his body animating him as the colors of his body start to glow.

"&ée(à-_=-(=àé'&"é"

The Ark rider Grabbed a thousand jacker and a Shotriser before pointing Ryu with the thousand jacker as if he accepted the fight before the two of them slowly walk to each other and suddenly charge each other and start to violently fight under the astonished Ark who could only look at what happen and wonder where he was.


On earth

(kamen rider zero-one ost: ark-one theme)

Doruzo had forced Ryu to transform into the Ark rider and was waiting for him to move as the three others looked in fear what Doruzo did, Kirishima muttered his courage before running in the direction of Doruzo and angrily grabbing his collar.

"what did you do to him? And why did you come here if it's for torture him?" said Kirishima

" what do you know of him?" asked Doruzo while grabbing Kirishima wrist and pushing him away.

" what I know of him?" muttered Kirishima "I know he is a Kamen rider, a hero from another world who got destroyed and that he want to be a King he also a kind guy who put other life before his own." He said making Doruzo sigh

" that's only the top of the iceberg you know?" said Doruzo making the three raise an eyebrow.

" Ryu was a violent kid in the past and had a very hard time to express his positive emotions which make him a candidate to become the successor of the Ark and also becoming a part of shocker like it was originally planned by them" said Doruzo before he saw the Ark rider's hand twitch a little.

" what Tokiwa was meant to be a villain ? what do you…" before Kirishima end his sentence Doruzo push him away to stop an attack from the Ark rider who grunted like an animal.

" what's happening now ?" said Kirishima with fear as he backing from the fight while Ashido and recovery girl grabbed him by his arms to take him out of harm way.

" you make things complicated you know that Ryu?" said Doruzo before kicking the Ark rider in his guts making him fall on the ground before he lift himself up by levitating in the air .

" look like you need a little beating to open your eyes" said Doruzo before charging at the Ark rider and slashing him across his chest two time before metal scrap from the area create a shield to protect the Ark rider and pushing back Doruzo who do multiple somersaults backward to get some distance between them.

" let's try this then!" said Doruzo as he take a red and grey watch with the drawing of a ryusoulger on it (the 43th super sentai) and putting it inside his zikan zax.

Finish Time!

He then do a circle with his axe making appear behind him a burning T-rex head construct before he send a slash followed by the T-rex head who grab the slash in his mouth before hitting the shield provoking an explosion.

Ryusoulger. Zakuri Cutting!

When the smoke disappear the shield was destroyed and the Ark rider send metal scrap to Doruzo, Doruzo dodge most of them but had to parry some as the metal scrap kept circling around him.

" If it's like that then let's do some contact again" said Doruzo before charging at the Ark rider who grabbed a piece of metal to use as a weapon and protect himself but Doruzo's axe was sharper and cut through the piece of metal and cut his left arm sending it fly away to the shock of the others who tried not to puke.

" what are you doing?! You will kill him by doing that" yelled recovery girl before the arm got black electricity coming out of the wound as well as the Ark rider body who also had black electricity coming out of his wound the two formed a tendril of electricity before touching each other and bringing back the arm to his original place repairing the armor in the process.

" well he didn't used that one in the past" said Doruzo a little impressed by the ability while the ark Rider frantically move his previously severed arm to recover the sensation of it before he grab the anchor of his driver and activate it

EXOoOoOoDE Dystopia!

The Ark rider lift his two arms when suddenly the building start to shake and electric cable came out of the ground and roof before going in Doruzo's way hitting him multiple time without being able to defend itself before being send crash into a pillar .

" didn't see this one coming but now I'm sure of his ability's" said Doruzo while getting up before a police car came inside the parking lot and Shinnosuke accompanied by Tsukauchi came out of it in a hurry.

(end song)

" what's happening here?!" said Tsukauchi while seeing the two Rider, the passed out Ingenium and is team as well as Kirishima, Ashido and recovery girl.

" it's a very long story …" said recovery girl while sighing " but why are you two here didn't you were after Zaizen?" she said with a raised eyebrow.

" yes and we got a call saying he was heading to the Touto's research facility" said Shinosuke making the Ark rider turn his head to his direction before looking up.

" shit don't tell me he…" said Doruzo before the Ark lift his arms up and use the cable he used to hit Doruzo to make a hole in the roof leading to the outside before turning into a ball of electricity and fly out of the place by the hole.

"dammit couldn't you shut up and didn't said that?" yelled Doruzo before running to the exit of the parking who was an underground parking, as he goes into the street people were looking at the electric ball levitating in the air before it goes in the direction of where Zaizen is.

" shit!" yelled Doruzo before deploying his ride striker and jumping on it before revving the engine and going full throttle after the Ark rider.

What was that?!" said Shinnosuke surprised by what suddenly happen

" this thing is the kid and you just tell to him where is Zaizen you idiot!" yelled recovery girl while smacking Shinnosuke's knee with her cane

"what? But who's the other one then?" asked Tsukauchi confused by the sight of Doruzo

" he is one of his friends but they end up fighting when they meet talking about revealing a power or something I didn't follow everything." Said Ashido while her brain was trying to processing what happened.

" I hope it'll not bring a calamity upon us then…" muttered Tsukauchi to himself


Some minutes before inside a temple following the escape of the ghost ride watch.

The ghost ride watch was flying into the air after searching where Ryu were to warn him but did find him due to the hospital being destroyed by Zaizen the ride watch decide to follow its memory coming from this world just like Genm did and go to the Daitenku temple to find someone who could prevent Zaizen's actions.

Thee ride watch flew into the temple seeing the people inside doing their task without seeing the ride watch who hide from them going from hiding spot to hiding spot.

" I feel like a thief doing that, inside my home none the less" muttered the ride watch before arriving to a door leading deeper in the temple .

" the lab I made it!" said the ride watch before he heard barking from the inside and then the door open making appear a dog who were sniffing the ride watch.

" when did we get a dog here?!" muttered the ride watch frozen to not frighten the dog who grab the watch in his mouth and bring it inside the lab " stop that I'm not a squeezing toy " said the ride watch before the dog climb a stair that was looking more like a ladder and go next to girl who was sleeping on a table with schoolbook scattered around her.

The dog put on the ground the ride watch before rubbing his nose one the girl's shoulder to wake her up but seeing it didn't do it start to lick her cheek this time waking her up.

"pochi stop that I'm working" she said while rubbing her tired eyes the girl had chin-length pale gray hair, parted to the left, hanging down over her eye and obscuring the majority of the left side of her face. She has dark bags under her blue eyes, and a small mouth with full lips. Her name was Yanagi Reiko and in this world she was the adopted little sister of the Tenkuji family from when she was a baby.

As she open her eyes she saw the now named Shiba pochi with the ride watch in his mouth while waving his tail.

" what is that? Don't tell you got to search inside some garbage again?" said Reiko before taking the sticky ride watch out of pochi's mouth before cleaning it a little and recognizing the symbol on it.

"impossible this symbol it's.." she said before the ride watch flew back in the air and spin to took off all the saliva it had .

" I was sure he was going to eat me or put in a hole he dig" said the ride watch while panting making Reiko widen her eyes to what she heard and the voice the watch had.

"oni-chan?!" she said making the ride watch startle a little before slowly looking at the girl.

" hum…. Yes…and no, but that's not important Right now do you have a phone on you we need to call Akari she and her coworker will be in grave danger soon if we do nothing and it can expand to the whole town even the whole country !" said the ride watch with worry making the girl feel dizzy by all the information that got into her head but she decide to call the said Akari but end up on the voicemail worried she then try to call the police and tell them what the ride watch tell them but….

" listen kid if it's a prank it's not funny we have a lot of work right now so stop saying nonsense" said he policeman on the other side.

" tell him to tell Tsukauchi what you said and it's about michihiko Zaizen and the two kidnapped heroes" said the ride watch which Reiko do and the policeman suddenly change his tone of voice when hearing this.

" how do you know that ?" said the policeman in panic

" I got the intel from a friend and he told me to call the police because he can't do it himself" said Reiko making the policeman raised an eyebrow on the other side of the line but he shrug it off as the matter about Zaizen was of extreme importance.

" I will call them right now I hope it's not a joke you hear me?" said the policeman before Reiko quit the call and sighed while putting her head on the table again.

"you did great I hope Ryu will be alerted too" said the ride watch before Reiko raise her head and look at the watch

" yeah but you'll have to explain me everything then especially what you did become now" said Reiko making the Ride watch sweatdrop to that


And during that time at the Touto research facility chaos took over the place as the bugsters came and start to ravage the place to find the man in charge of the place his name was Katsuragi Shinobu a well now space engineer who know his way in a lot of domain which grant him the place of director of the research facility he was a man in his sixties with black hair combed like a gentleman and had dark brown eyes in his office he was securing important data away on secured server when his son Katsuragi Takumi enter the office with two girl one was a girl in her twenties with mid length black hair and hazel eyes his name was Akari Tsukimura the other girl is a reasonably short girl with quite a mature build. She has shoulder-length salmon pink hair, which is styled into thick dreadlocks and sideswept to her right. Her eyes are wide and sloped upwards with some notably long upper eyelashes, their irises green-yellow with a cross in the center, making them look somewhat like scope lenses she was Hatsume Mei in this world she is the niece of Katsuragi Shinobu from his wife's side also making her Takumi's cousin .

" Dad what are you doing we need to run away now!" said Takumi with panic in his voice.

" go first I need to block the access to the servers before it's too late" said Shinobu making his son sighed in frustration

" how many times do you need?" asked Takumi

" 10 to 15 minutes" said Shinobu while entering manipulation on his computer.

Takumi when hearing that push a grunting sigh before going next to his dad and starting to help him with what he was doing. "if I help you we will end that quicker" said Takumi making his father smile before he looked at the two girl " you two go now we will finish this shortly don't worry about us" he said .

" are you two crazies?!" said Hatsume before Akari grabbed her arm and make a sad nod to make her understand it the best thing to do if they don't want to compromised the confidential data about the heroes before Akari pull Mei's arm to make her follow her by force.

As they did get out and ran away they didn't saw the next genome member arrive to the office and entering it before beating could be heard from the place and followed by Zaizen's henchmen leaving the office while dragging the beaten up Shinobu and Takumi on the ground.

" now let's start what we came for" said Zaizen as he plug a device on the computer which start to unlock the access to the data he want as he was watching the ride watch holder and the box with the proto-gashat next to him. "I will bring humanity to their next evolution and rule over it as their god" muttered Zaizen with a madman smile on his face .


after some minutes he got access to the data and started to extract them when suddenly one of his henchmen come in a hurry inside the office.

Zaizen-sama the rider he is coming!" he exclaimed making Zaizen raise an eyebrow.

" so what? Are you afraid of that weakling?" said Zaizen

" we hacked police transmission and from what they did say he is more dangerous than yesterday and he is co…" before his hench had the time to end his sentence a static noise could be heard from outside making them look to the windows of the office before they saw a ball of electricity coming their way and crash in the office provoking an explosion that completely obliterate the whole floor and what was over it.

" *kof* *kof*what was that?" asked Zaizen before seeing a shadow with a blue and red lens glowing in the smoke surrounding him and his henchmen.

"&(àç=-"^**^m*&'*&'"&"

"what?" asked Zaizen when hearing the binary complaint before being grabbed by the throat by the figure of the Ark rider who looked deeply into Zaizen's eyes .

" what are you?" said Zaizen to the Ark rider who started to get erratic movement as his bone crack one by one he muttered all his strength to finally said something coherent .

"WEeEeE…. ARrRrE…EeEeEXODUS" stated the Ark Rider in English while his voice was lagging like an old computer before he throw Zaizen to the ground and punch him exploding the ground and making them fall in the entrance of the building to the stupefaction of the summoned bugsters, the hatena bugster who got a power up as he had now a naginata and a scaly texture on his body, the policemen and some heroes who were here and the scientist who had yet to run away.

" watch out!" yelled Akari to Mei while pushing her away from rubbles falling on them.

"Akari-san!" cried Mei as she saw the woman unconscious under the rubble making the Ark rider turn their way and scan the area with his orbital blinder before lifting his hand to move the rubble away from Akari with his unknow power as at the same time Doruzo arrive on the scene and saw what was doing the Ark rider to his surprise .

"why did he help her? Did get the control of this form? Or maybe it…." Muttered Doruzo before being cut in his though by two bugster trying to attack him but he slash them before they could destroy them before the Ark rider got grabbed in the back by Zaizen who had glowing blue eyes making him lose his control over the rubble " what a shitty day" muttered Doruzo while sighing before he ran to the two girls took them away from the rubbles.

" you !? you are Zi-O!" said Mei while looking at Doruzo who looked back at her

"Zi-O seriously!? Can't you see the difference between him and me?!" exclaimed Doruzo with is now wounded pride.

"what ? I'm wrong?" said Mei

" completely! I'm Kamen Rider Geiz and I'll be the true Savior remember that" exclaimed Geiz before Shinnosuke and Tsukauchi arrive and took Akari and Mei with them.

" we will leave this to you and other pro heroes while we escort civilian outside" said Tsukauchi

" thanks like that I won't have to hold back" said Doruzo as suddenly a big thing fall behind him making him turn his head slowly with a sound of rusted door as he saw a 4 meters tall genome with an armor made of dragon bone over it his head was inside the mouth of a dragon's skull, on his right arm he a bone which looked like a sword and on his left arm one that looked like a gatling cannon with a belt of little bone going inside it, it was the Doral genome.

Doruzo then quickly turn to the two policemen who were as astonished as him before he said with a sigh " now that an even shittier day than two second ago" he exclaimed before he got punched and send crash into a pillar passing through it and hit the wall behind it.

" ouch" he monotonously said while rolling on his and before he see the hatena bugster with his naginata over his ready to stab it but thankfully Doruzo was able to dodge in time as he move head on the right dodging the attack by a thread.

" Time out" he yelled while doing a T with his hands but the bugster didn't bother and try to stab his head again making Doruzo move his head in every direction to avoid a certain death before he kick away the bugster's weapon and get up to roundhouse kicking him in the face followed by an high kick sending the bugster away next to the giant genome.

" who want some?" cheerfully yelled Doruzo before all the bugsters grunt turn in his direction and rase their weapon making Doruzo sweatdrop in fear before the bugsters charge at him but…

Kimewaza! Bang Bang Critical Finish!

a bullet of energy tear through the bugsters as suddenly from a cloud of smoke Kamen rider snipe appear " sorry for the late the road was long from the training camp of my students" said Taiga while resting his gashacon magnum on his shoulder.

"Taiga-sensei?" said Doruzo while tilting his head on the side before being smack on the head by Taiga

" I'm not your teacher dammit what you two have with that ?" said Taiga while sighing

" the taiga from our world put an honor point on the sensei that's why" said Doruzo while replacing his head with a crack of his neck.

" ha…. I see… then sorry. Just call me snipe for the moment" said Taiga with a sign of apology

" if you want" responded Doruzo before he stand side by side with Taiga and charge at the horde of bugster in front of them.

During that time the Ark Rider were throw from wall to wall by Zaizen who had a super strength," you…. You if only you never came here in this world I would have changed it at the time we are talking but…" angrily said Zaizen while he repeatedly kick The ark Rider who fell on the ground "…no you fucking threw away our initial plan and kill one of us like he was nothing you'll pay for putting your nose where you shouldn't!" at that he did a last kick at the Ark rider sending skidding across the floor before the latter get up without difficulty.

" let me show you what is the new way humanity will take" said Zaizen before is body glow blue and change to a new type of genome with blue eyes two dark blue set of V-shaped horn and a white and dark blue scaly body as well as a bugvisor on his left wrist.

" admire the perfection I have become" said Zaizen before being stabbed by multiple metal stake send by the Ark Rider

",=&)éà"ç_'"

" it's useless you don't have enough power to defeat me now you can only crouch and accept a painful death" said Zaizen as a genome arrive to his side with a samurai like shaped armor on it with burning plate on it and the kanji for fire (火) on the head it was the Giril genome.

"Zaizen-sama let me assist you into your battle we know that this kid is the type to overcome quickly what's against him" said the Giril genome before the two genomes charge at the Ark Rider without seeing one of the proto-gashat on the floor above them starting to shine as well as the Genm ride watch who slowly roll in its direction.

?

During that time Ryu and the Ark rider were clashing their weapon for who know how many times as it did feel weeks or months have passed in this place but none of them had given up yet as the battle become more and more violent.

Ryu slash the Ark rider on the chest with his two kaban calibur sending spark around him before the Ark rider jump backward and lift his hand to took control of multiple blades and send them to Ryu who got submerged in tornado of blade slashing him all over his body before he grab one of the weapons the latter being a thousand jacker, he then pull the hilt

Jackrise !

Then he stab into the tornado while pressing the trigger

Jacking Break!

Suddenly the storm got frozen before Ryu smash it and charge at the Ark rider and hit him with multiple hits of the thousand jacker changing element with each hit to take by surprise the Ark rider who after a few hits grab the thousand jacker before crushing it and provoking an explosion that send the two of them backward falling on the ground exhausted but Ryu did get up and limp to the Ark rider before grabbing him by the collar and raising his fist before throwing his punch.

On the outside the Ark rider was fighting the two genomes using his power to create shield or stake to defend itself against the two genomes, as he may be alone but was able to not be overwhelmed by the two genomes before a part of the building start to shake due to the damage it had and the lack of support pilar who got smashed by the Doral Genome who got in a frenzy state as he was smashing around him everything even his allies.

" look like Ryuzaki lost the control and gone berserk" said Zaizen before a shadow came down from the upper floor and hit the ground creating an onomatopoeia "HIT" as he fall on a group of bugsters saving some heroes at the same time.

" haaaaa it feel good to get his body back" said the voice before the person could be seen revealing Genm level 2 .

" what? That's not possible!" said Zaizen before Genm start to laugh maniacally

" of course it is Zaizen you witness the rebirth of a god right in front of you" said Genm

" is that a new recruit?" asked Snipe to Doruzo who shrug to Genm demeanor

" consider him as an idiot with potential" said Doruzo with a sigh before he saw Zaizen shaking from anger.

" a god you said don't mock me I will show you what is a god" said Zaizen as he lift his hand and suddenly the remaining proto-gashat arrive and float around him before fusing with him one by one making him radiating with power more and more before this time it was the ride watch that was flying around him.

" shit we need to stop him from doing that" said Doruzo as he run in the direction of Zaizen slashing the bugsters in his way but it was too late Zaizen absorbed the ride Watchs before his body shine with a rainbow color making the place shake more and more when suddenly he provoked a violent explosion of energy destroying the entire building.

When Zaizen looked around him he could only see ruins of the former Touto research facility as well as his colleagues who got out of the rubbles.

As the event was broadcast in live a lot of people were astonished by what happen some were prying before their TV some were laughing manically other were crying.

A man in grey business suit with red canvas shoes and black combed in a pompadour was looking at the broadcast inside a clubroom in a certain school as well as his students who were shocked as him he was fidgeting with a black and orange switch while looking with a severe look at the broadcast " are you really going to lose like that Ryu-chan?" he muttered before he reassure some of the students next to him "sensei do you think they survive to that?" asked a brunette with brown eyes, a round face and a permanent blush on her cheeks. The man pated her head before smiling " of course they survived after all they are…"

On a road next to the former research facility reiko accompanied by the Ghost ride watch were on a red and white dirt bike as Reiko look at the destroyed building she was out of word the fact that something of this magnitude happen in those time and days just in front of her was terrifying but what afraid her the most was the people that didn't escape from the building in time.

" don't worry Reiko.." said the Ride watch making Reiko to look at it with a raised eyebrow

" why should I not worry? people might have died right now just in front of us those people had a family" said Reiko with tears in her eyes.

" focus yourself on the ruins" said the ghost ride watch before Reiko do as said and sense something or more like multiple things." See it's because they are .."

?

" why did you not destroy me?" ask the younger Ryu with Ryu's fist having creating a crater next to his head

"why….. I don't know …..I'm tired of all of this…" said Ryu before he get up and step back before falling to his knee as the Ark-one's suit disappear from him.

" what do you mean ask the younger Ryu as he got out of the Ark rider body who got up behind the younger Ryu.

"…. I ran away my whole life because I was afraid of my power and by the possibility that I might hurt those who are close to me,.." stated Ryu before tears start to fall on his hands " …but by doing that I did the wrong choice and I lost people dear to me I lamented on my powerlessness but in truth I wasn't, I had the power to save them but didn't use it because I was afraid….. I blinded myself on the fact that no matter what I do if I use that power it will only lead to doom and the death of others." Yelled Ryu before slamming his fist on the rocky ground.

" right now I don't have the luxe to be afraid of my power because I need it… I NEED IT TO SAVE PEOPLE, TO BE A KING" yelled Ryu while looking straight at his younger self who looked at him a long time before smiling and extend his hand to his older self.

" you see it wasn't that hard. from now on let's go forward and create a better future as Kamen rider and as…" said the younger Ryu as Ryu grabbed his hand and smile before they said the last part together. " … the king of time" at that exact same moment the two of them shined brightly blinding Ark who saw everything before he heard in his back a voice he recognize.

" Ark take care of him for us"

Ark turn around and saw nobody just a progrise key on the ground it was a blue and red progrise key with the drawing of a two wave around a Shepherd staff the form of the progrise looked like assault wolf and shining hopper as it was possible for it to get an assault grip but there wasn't one on it now.

" I can sense a great potential from this key" said Ark before he saw the Ark rider standing next to him. Before the latter raised his hand and point Ark with his finger.

" what is your will? " he asked with a perfect English and robotic voice

" my will?..." muttered Ark as he look at the empty space of the ZEA satellite and remember for what he fight for in the past before he remember those he fight and vanquished him. "I want to lead the humanity on a path that will make them grow away from their destructive nature as long as I saw them fit into those criteria I will not harm them but on the contrary if I saw no way of changing them I will destroy them without a second thought" said Ark

"your will has been…. Acknowledged" said the Ark rider before he give to Ark some sort of data as the progrise key start to float between the two of them and shine Ryu then appear next to them and look at the two.

" are you ready to end this?" he asked with a smile making Ark chuckle and the Ark rider nod before three of them grab the progrise key who submerge them in a blinding light again turning the Dark void of the Zea satellite into a bright one before from the exterior the Zea satellite shot a ray of light who hit the ruin of the Touto research facility surprising everyone as multiple dome of light start to appear around the ray each one of the dome were of different colors affiliated to each one of the principal heisei rider minus some of them as Ryu don't have their watch ( Decade, Ghost, Fourze, Build and Drive) the member of next genome were astonished by what happen before the light fade away making seen the ghost of the Kamen rider who protect the civilian and hero from the explosion but what was the more surprising was the presence of a ghostly Zi-O next to Ryu and this one had magenta katakana instead of the yellow hirigana it had in this world.

"Impossible…" muttered Zaizen upon this sight as in the clubroom and with Reiko the teacher and the ghost ride watch say at the same time

"… they are the strongest Kamen riders the strongest heroes never seen in this world"

As all the rider ghost vanish they turn into ride watch before gathering in front of Ryu becoming one ride watch which had the kanji for rider on it, Ryu grabbed it and saw in his other hand the Zi-O ride watch appearing briefly before turning into a ball of light and fuse with the rider watch followed by the sudden glowing of the progrise key that was in his driver before it start to float and change to the key he saw in the satellite ZEA.

" impossible how are you all alive?! I became the strongest being and yet all of you still standing in perfect condition how is that possible?" yelled Zaizen in fury

Ryu looked at himself and saw his wound over is body as well as is torn clothes before looking behind him the heroes and scientist safe before looking to Doruzo who crossed his arms while looking at Ryu and nod to him.

" the reason why we are alive is thanks to those who fight to protect the world from monsters like you, even in death they didn't given up on their vow to protect the world and it's those same heroes who gave us the courage to walk ahead without fear to beat monster like you" exclaimed Ryu making Zaizen shake from his boiling anger.

" for who do you think you are to insult me of the sort goddamn hero?" said Zaizen

" Watashi wa hīrō janai, orewa kamen raidā (I'm not a hero , I'm a Kamen rider)" yelled Ryu before crossing his arm in front of him and activating his progrise key

EXODE

Suddenly the Ark driver appear at his waist before Ryu put his key in front of it

AUTHORIZE

Then from the center of the driver two hologram appear one was looking like a red ethereal version of the ark while the second looked like a blue ethereal version of the Ark rider, Ryu then do a swift movement of his wrist opening the key making appear the internal drawing which was a drawing of the Ark satellite shooting a ray through an human figure before Ryu say.

Henshin!

And insert the key in the driver who opened before electricity surround Ryu and the two

( same beat as for Kamen rider metsuboujinrai)

Singurise! Connection (Fusion) complete! (complete!)

At that moment the two holograms broke into multiple armor piece placing over Ryu as they start to materialize from the bottom to the top over Ryu creating his armor

Kamen Rider Exodus! (Kamen Rider Exodus!)

Then the helmet finish is materialization before the lenses appear in last as well as a blue reversed triangle on the fore head.

Leading to the promised land~~

After the complete transformation people were astonished by Ryu's new form before he lift his hand point Zaizen with his finger

"Your will has been claimed as incompatible with humanity protection and have been by then… denied " said the rider with a mix of Ryu, Ark, and the Ark rider's voice.

" who are you to decide that?" said Zaizen

" Us? We are the one who lead to the promised land . we are Kamen rider Exodus" said Exodus as his orbital blinder print an ethereal thousand jacker followed by him gathering metal scrap on it before it melt revealing a fully functional thousand jacker before he grabbed and slide across his wrist while taking a battle pose as the next genome member do the same before charging at each other's.

(Zero-one ost zero one and zero two movie version)

Exodus charge first at Zaizen and dodge the first two strike by crouching under it before arriving in his back and slashing across it before the Giril genome tried to slash him in the back but the right lens of Exodus shined temporally and the Giril genome missed her attacks as if something parry the attack before Exodus kick her in the jaw send her flying before being stabbed by metal spike and send crash into a wall, after that it was the Doral genome who tried to attack him but the left lens this time shined and metal scrap gather to form a shield in front of exodus protecting him from the attack before he take from one of his key holder on his waist the breaking mammoth progrise key and insert it inside the thousand jacker.

Progrise key confirmed. Ready to break. Breaking mammoth's ability

Doruzo arrive at the same time and nod at him as he hand him the brave ride watch and put it into his zikan zax.

Finish time!

Doruzo had the blade of his axe starting to burn as he did an half circle to prepare his attack as Exodus pull the hilt of his thousand jacker before he slide across his wrist as energy gather into it

Thousandrise!

Brave! Zakuri cutting!

Thousand destruction!

They arrive to a pause before doing a downward slash hitting the Doral genome with a burning mammoth stomp before doing an upward slash sending this time a burning mammoth head hitting the Doral genome in his guts sending him into the air before falling heavily on the ground.

" got ya" exclaimed the hatena bugster as he hit the ground with his naginata and open a portal above them were comet fall from it and hit the ground around the two riders.

"Ryu!" yelled Taiga before from the smoke Exodus and Doruzo jump high in the air before slashing downward for Doruzo and stabbing for Exodus sending the bugster away .

" did you really think an attack like that will kill us that easily ? Baka" said Doruzo in a mocking tone

" as of now your chance of winning are… 0%" said exodus while he move his right hand horizontally in front of him before hitting his progrise key in his driver

Exode!Conclusion

Suddenly metal scrap gather around him creating some sort of giant worm before he send it go into the air and explode creating a rain a metal spike onto the next genome group before creating multiple explosions in the area.

" take care of Zaizen I take the others" said Doruzo while he ready his weapon again and charge at Zaizen

"Accepted" responded exodus before he charge at Zaizen and start to trade blow with the latter

As for Doruzo he was attacking the three others with more difficulty than he thought as he had to dodge more than hitting them when suddenly Genm jump on the hatena bugster and hit with his gashacon breaker ( a hammer who turn into a sword) and snipe arrive too shooting at the Doral genome to make him step back.

"mind if we help with those?" said Taiga

" the more the merrier to kick some ass" responded Doruzo before Snipe took the drago-knight gashat from his holder and activate it making one appear in Genm's hand

Drago-knight hunter-Z

Suddenly a videogame screen appear as a black dragon appear out of it and fly over the two gamer riders

"tactic N°5" said Taiga

"grade 5" said Genm before the two of them insert their gashat and open their driver

Gachan! Level Up! Ba-Ba-Bang! Bang-Ba-Bang! (Yow!) Bang Bang Shooting! A Gacha! Do-Do-Drago! Na-Na-Na-Kni~ght! Dra-! Dra-! Drago Knight Hunter! Snipe!/ Gachan! Level Up! Mighty Jump! Mighty Kick! Migh~ty Actio~n X! A Gacha! Do-Do-Drago! Na-Na-Na-Kni~ght! Dra-! Dra-! Drago Knight Hunter! Ex-Aid!

The dragon dispatch his pieces before the rifle go on Snipe arm and the head and tail go on Genm head and back turning them into level 5 hunter action gamers.

" let's wrap this up for good this time" said Taiga before charging at the Doral Genome and shooting at him while the latter use his gatling to shoot at him but compared to Taiga he only miss his shots and received his opponent's bullet in the face making him stumble backward . Genm was fighting the hatena bugster shooting fire ball and using his tail to attack the hatena bugster tried to hit him in the face but Genm dodge by doing a reverse bow before headbutting the bugster in his face sending him fall on a few meters away.

" hmm?! You… you got one of my creation inside of you…" said Genm while pointing his finger the hatena bugster ".. and I don't like people using what belong to me without consent" he said before seeing Doruzo fighting the Giril Genome while a smile draw itself under his helmet as it take out from his pocket the Genm ride watch " let's give him a better upper hand" said Genm before throwing the Ride watch into the Giril genome who bounce to Doruzo afterward and catch it.

" the Genm ride watch?" he said before looking at Genm who were doing a thumb up in his direction

"Guess I can use this then" said Doruzo as he turn the dial of the ride watch and activate it

Genm!

He then put it inside the left slot of his driver before hitting the upper button of his driver making it slightly spin and grabbing it like for his Henshin pose before wildly spinning it

Rider Time! Kamen rider Geiz! Armor Time! Level up! Ge~nm

Suddenly from his belt appear the hirigana for Genm as the armor appear and dislocate before putting itself over Doruzo and the hirigana of his visor change for those of Genm compared to Ryu's armor the armor of Geiz got the silver replaced with black.

Doruzo look at his new armor before sliding his thumb across his chest and opening his palm " I'll clear this even if I have to use continue" he said before the Giril genome tried to slash him but he dodge the attack by rolling on the side before disappearing into a purple pipe to the surprise of his enemy.

" coward show yourself!" yelled the Giril genome before a pipe appear under her and Doruzo appear from it and do an uppercut to the Giril genome making her do a backflip and fall heavily on her back .

" look like that was toasty!" said Doruzo with a grin before he grabbed the Giril genome and force her up and start to punch her repeatedly .

Against Zaizen Exodus was fighting on an equal footstep maybe due to Zaizen who start to accustom himself to the proto-gashat he absorbed when they were in a clash he lean forward and said " do you think you can really kill us? What about those we fuse with? Do you think you can kill them without feeling remorse?" said Zaizen before he kick away exodus and kick the ground making ice appear and trap Exodus lower body, Zaizen then form a fireball in his hand and throw it at Exodus provoking a big explosion making him grin but the grin quickly fade as the explosion got absorbed in the thousand jacker and released on him provoking another explosion on him this time as Exodus used the opportunity he had to break the ice trapping him.

" damn you rider" said Zaizen as he recover from the attack before he activate his bugvisor in saw mode and trade blow with Exodus who dodge most of the hit .

" those guys know what they're doing!" said a hero that was forced to watch the fights in front of him

" yeah but isn't snipe the only one with a hero license though?" said another hero

" I don't think it matter right now" said a third hero as exodus and Zaizen were clashing exodus had his orbital blinder slightly glowing before Zaizen slash him across the chest sending spark around them making Exodus stumble before Zaizen swat the thousand jacker from Exodus hand in the air and followed by the severing of one of his arm with the saw making the said arm fly over them as Zaizen smile to that but he didn't see the arm grabbing the thousand jacker in the sky before falling back to Exodus who reception his arm to where it originally belong and violently stab Zaizen in the stomach surprising him by what happen.

" what?!" he exclaimed before exodus pull the hilt of the thousand jacker absorbing orange energy from Zaizen weakening him as he stumble back and fall on his knee.

"hoi kid!" exclaimed Genm making exodus look at him

" use what I give to Ark with what you gather from him to create an antivirus" he said as suddenly the Ark driver 3D print a progrise key with a gashat circuit board at the end of it.

Exodus could sense into the gashat some of the energy belonging to Ryu inside it before putting it inside the thousand jacker and pulling the trigger gathering the energy inside the progrise key who change color and become a white and blue progrise with the image of double helix on it

" he then pull it out of the thousand jacker and throw it to Taiga who grabbed it before looking at it with a grin and putting it into the kimewaza holder

Kimewaza! Curing Critical Strike!

Taiga's rifle started to glow with a blue light before he aim into the sky and shot a blue energy bullet who exploded and make it rain blue particle which make the next genome group to grunt in pain as suddenly they started to partially separate with the peoples they fuse with each rider grabbed the person before pulling them out of their enemies making them pass through a depowering phase as they fall to their knee.

" are you okay?" ask Taiga to Ryukyu who had fused with the Doral genome

" I've seen better but I'm okay" she said before getting up

Doruzo extracted Endeavor from the Giril genome but there was an awkward silence before endeavor spoke " you're not Zi-O?" he said making Doruzo sigh in relief

"finally someone who see the difference" he said before the Giril genome hardly get up but was too weak to move afterward

Genm extract the dragon humanoid from the hatena bugster before giving him a hand to get up " long time no see graphite" he said making the said graphite look at him surprised .

"weren't you were dead?" said graphite as he grabbed Genm's hand to get up.

" yes but that's a long story" said Genm

" you will explain later for now it's good to see you somehow" said graphite before he get back his weapon from the hatena bugster who dropped it some second ago.

Exodus pull Togo from Zaizen before scanning him to be sure he was safe " analyze completed civilian in good condition now starting final phase " he said before hitting his progrise key into his driver as the others activate also their own finisher

Kimewaza! X2

Finish Time! Genm

The four riders jump in the sky as energy gather in their leg

Drago-knight critical strike

Genm and Taiga kick their respective enemy before bouncing over and over on them hitting them multiple time making onomatopoeia appear with "great" and "good" inside it before doing the final blow destroying their enemy for good in an explosion with a "perfect" appearing behind them.

Critical! Time Burst!

Doruzo jump into a purple pipe before multiple pipes of the same color appear around the Giril genome followed by Doruzo who appear from a pipe hitting her and going inside another pipe repeating the action multiple times before appearing high in the air and deliver the final blow to the Giril genome destroying it for good too.

Exode! Conclusion

As Exodus jump in the sky Zaizen got submerged by red water that lift him up in the air before Exodus kicked him separating the water in two followed by an explosion of Zaizen as Exodus land on the ground, civilian hero and policemen were silent for a long second before they all cheered to the victory.

" Zaizen lost in the end maybe we should give him a little boost now" said a hooded man on the top of a building with a bugvisorzwei in hand and a gashat with marked boosted Trigger on it inserted into the bugvisorzwei before he aim at the ruin and shot cloud of red particles that gather in one place .

" it's finally finish this time" said Taiga while sighing before spark could be heard and when he turn his head he saw a red cloud of pixel absorbing the remaining pixel of the next genome member before growing taller and taller to the point of becoming as high as a building.

"Da fuck?!" yelled Doruzo before the cloud take the shape of Zaizen in his genome form

" I'm immortal puny human now bow to your god!" yelled Zaizen before firing laser ray in the direction of the sea provoking an explosion far away on the horizon.

Civilian started to panic and ran away as the hero and policemen were in complete shock over what happen but one thing they didn't know this day will stay in history as the day where a legend make himself know.

" no matter how big he is we will not run-away cause that our job to take care of those type of villain" said Taiga as the four riders get side by side before nodding but Exodus's driver start to bip before he got depowered and disappear letting Ryu a little groggy out of the armor.

"he? What ?" said Ryu has he look at the Ark driver who disappear "Ark that's not funny you know we have a monster on our hand right now" said Ryu

" I know but we did reach our time limit somehow" said Ark who turned into his mobile form "use your Forceriser for ending this"

" ok" said Ryu while sighing as he place his force riser on his waist and activate his progrise key but…. As he was in his pose to activate his progrise key he had nothing in hand and remember he forgot his progrise key into the parking as it's still inside his kaban calibur.

" SHIMATTA!" he yelled in despair while circling around in panic " I need to go back to the parking, but I don't know where it is from here, and I won't have the time to get back here in time to stop Zaizen…." exclaimed Ryu while scratching his head in panic before…

"hoi! zero-one catch!" yelled Ingenium as Ryu look in his way he seen the kaban calibur launch his way but he reception it with his face before falling on the ground as he was massaging his face.

"Hitai.."

"sorry" said ingenium

" it's nothing, I deserved it actually" said Ryu while waving his hand before taking the kaban calibur and the progrise key this time he really activate

Jump!

He then put it in his driver before immediately pulling the Anchor

Forcerise~! Rising Hopper! Breakdown~~

In an instant he got transformed into zero-zero-one "let's end this guy" said Taiga before the four of them join the others heroes to put a stop to Zaizen but this didn't change much only making Zaizen angrier as he throw every hero to the ground.

" shit this guy is very strong if only I was in better shape I could have a chance" said Ryukyu as she stumble to get up.

" I will not let this trash humiliate one more time" grunted endeavor as he also hardly get up

The four riders were also on the ground and had a hard time to get up as two of them had a very exhausting day, Ryu looked at Zaizen while he was almost unconscious his mind no longer able to focus as he looked around him what he saw was fused with his memory of the past on a battlefield where he could have change the deed but was too afraid at this moment he saw a 2 years younger version of himself trembling in fear before it looked at him " I have to fight… fight …fight" he said somehow to give himself courage the vision fade as he go back to the present time the voice echoed in his head once again "fight…fight…fight, you have to or everything you live until now will be for nothing" at that Ryu's vison got focused on the progrise key/gashat at Taiga's belt making him suddenly shot his eyes open and grab the progrise key and inserting it inside his kaban calibur before running straight at Zaizen.

Ryu!? What are you doing you will get kill" exclaimed Taig as he extend his hand to Ryu who continue to run in Zaizen direction before going to a stop on a upper ground to make him easily seeable by Zaizen.

(Zero-one ost: real-eyez)

"There's only one person who can stop you.." he said before pointing himself with his thumb " and it's me!" he yelled before running back at Zaizen who got angrier and hit the ground where Ryu were, thinking he got him but Ryu jump over his hand and stabbed his wrist making a crack in his skin as he growl and tried to swat him away but before he could do that Ryu push forward his kaban calibur and start climbing Zaizen's arm while continuing to cut his arm.

" no way is he…" muttered Ryukyu seeing the wound of Zaizen widen as blue particle come out of it .

" he's going to do it…" said Tsukauchi looking from a little bit afar as everyone who looked hold their breath as Ryu reach Zaizen shoulder he do a somersault high in the sky before falling in the direction of Zaizen with the sun in his back and stabbing Zaizen's forehead with the kaban calibur making blue crack appear on Zaizne's head as he growl in pain again and grab his fore head before Ryu jump again very high in the sky after reaching the highest he can he somehow got to a stop mid-air and activate multiple time his driver

Rising! Utopia!

As the driver announce that Ryu armor start to glow so much photon particles were coming out of his armor as he then start his fall head first in Zaizen direction.

Zaizen looked at him and tried to shoot laser ray at him but Ryu somehow dodge them all as he approach Zaizen faster and faster releasing yellow neon tendril behind him before flip his body going for a Kick while yelling a war cry and hitting right into his kaban calibur provoking an enormous shockwave at the impact as his energy clash with Zaizen body sending spark all around the area.

"impossible….. dying at the hand of a kid IMPOSSIIIIIIIIIB….." yelled Zaizen before Ryu push one more time as Zaizen's body got completely covered in crack before Ryu pass through it

Rising! Utopia!

After that Zaizen start to fall on his back but he Exploded before touching the ground creating a shock wave that goes through the whole town as a giant cloud of smoke hide everything.

(end song)

" did he survive?" asked Tsukauchi while trying to see into the smoke

" Ryu! Hoi ! are you here?!" yelled Taiga as he was scared that the worst happen to his protégé .

" an explosion of this amplitude there's no chance someone survive this" said Ryukyu as tears form under her eyes " if only we were stronger he wouldn't have …" as she said that a figure appear in the smoke weakly getting up before the smoke fade away making Ryu appear still in his armor he had his limbs limping and was slowly lifting his head to the sky while yelling out all the air of his lung before his armor disappear and fall backward being catch at the last second by Taiga who examine him without waiting.

" he's asleep?!" said Taiga as he saw Ryu asleep with a smile on his face.

" he deserve it after all that happen recently" said Ryukyu falling to her knee next to Taiga before patting Ryu's head. " he's not from this world yet he fight for it without a doubt I can assure that in the future he'll be the greatest hero we ever knew".

Endeavor on his side he looked at Ryu before clicking his tongue and going back to his business stopping a little to look back at Ryu and grumble " don't think I will let you surpass me that easily kid" .

Doruzo was looking at the scene as he raised his in Ryu's direction before arriving to stop and looking down feeling guilty to what he did before Genm put a hand on his shoulder " you may have been rough with him but I'm pretty sure he didn't really mind it, and you will have the opportunity to apology in the future from now on" said Genm before him and Graphite disappear inside a purple pipe soon followed by Doruzo who glance back a last time at Ryu. "okaeri…. Ōsama" he said before disappearing too.

Tsukauchi was relieved to see Ryu alive before his phone rang and he saw the name toshinori on it "hello? Yeah, ha you saw the news already…. yeah I know you couldn't be here in time don't worry our new resident did a great job he remind of you somehow…. Yeah appearing out of nowhere and put a big kick in the ass of the heroism to wake it up ….. you're right he could attract the eyes of bad people but I'm sure he will be fine after all he said it himself when he come here….. yeah that thing I know it sound like a joke but saying he is a hero will be an understatement but king perfectly fit somehow… anyway did you find a clue about Foundation X ?"

" nothing their old labs are all empty, no data , no people, not even a hair. I don't know why but they started to be a lot more on their guard I hope it won't led us to something dark again" said All might on his phone as he wa at a beach with midoriya for his training.

" … by the way I find a suitable successor recently he don't have a quirk but he got the spirit of a true hero I can't wait to see him grow more and maybe encounter the "King" in the future" said all might as he continue his conversation with Tsukauchi

A few days later in a hospital

Ryu wake up suddenly before getting up in a hurry before he saw that he was in a hospital room and covered in bandage as well as measurements devices for different body functionality.

" ha I remember now.." said Ryu while massaging his forehead before he heard the door opening and saw Kirishima and Ashido looking gloom at first before they saw Ryu awake and widen their eyes before smiling, running to him and jump on him in joy making Ryu gasp for air .

" thank god you're alive bro" said Kirishima while crying of joy

" are your arms okay? they were ripped off two time after all" ask Ashido looking at Ryu arms to see there was no sequel on it like it never happen.

" I'm happy to see you two too but there's something called personal space and here you completely obliterating It, so leave me some space for breathing at least" said Ryu while struggling to breath and before the two middle schoolers let go of him.

" sorry it's just…. How to say it…. Ah! It's so manly to see you alive and in good shape after what you did to that giant monster" said Kirishima making some punch in the air.

"yeah and that last attack you did it was as if it come from a movie it was so cool, you even got a lot of fans now look!" said Ashido as she take her phone and show Ryu the recent news only talking about Zero-one.

" seriously that's not zero-one it's zero-zero-one! zero one is using another driver damnit !" said Ryu as he go through the websites making Kirishima and Ashido chuckle to that.

" you've changed.." said Kirishima making Ryu look at him with a raised eyebrow.

" how?" he asked

" well at first we could feel that you were keeping people at distance of you be it with your gesture or your words but now it feel like you start to reveal your true self." Said Ashido making Ryu remember how he met them and the reason he did keep them not too far of him and not too close too.

" well at first I had to make sure you two don't blow my cover due to the fact you saw my drivers, and also make sure you will not be taken between two fires in case of someone wanted to hurt me in some way…" sighed Ryu "… but now I'll not run away from who I am nor keep people away from me just by fear of them being hurt. because I'll protect them no matter what" he said will tightening his fist making the two middle-schoolers look at him with a joyful expression.

" that's our non-official hero we wanted to see" said Ashido while heavily slapping Ryu's back causing a crack to be heard as Ryu slightly flinch in pain

" that's so manly…." Said Kirishima while tear run across his face before he widen his eyes "… I wanted to ask you something slightly personal by the way!" he said making Ashido and Ryu raised an eyebrow.

" would help me with my training for prepare myself to the UA entrance exam?" asked Kirishima m king Ashido beam a big smile.

" you finally choose to go to UA! That's so great" she said making Kirishima nervously smile.

" well seeing you who don't hesitate to stand against that villain last time and Ryu who did fight until the end against Zaizen I couldn't stay behind doing nothing so I want to at least be someone worthy of your courage" said Kirishima making Ashido smile even more and Ryu look at him with a raised eyebrow again.

" isn't your already worthy somehow?" said Ryu making Kirishima look confused.

" don't you remember against Aranbura you helped me even if it was nothing for you it was a big help for me it was my first time in level 2 so I had a hard time to understand everything about it but with your help I was able to defeat him afterward you're also a hero for me as much as Ashido here" said Ryu making Kirishima cry so much he soaked Ryu and Ashido with his tears.

" sorry to interrupt your little chat but Ryu need to pass some exam right now could you wait at the reception it won't be long" said Hiro who enter the room accompanied by two beautiful nurse that follow him everywhere he go generally.

" Hai, see you later then" said Ashido and Kirishima while going outside and saw Taiga leaning against the wall outside of Ryu's room before Ashido grin at him " tsundere-sensei" she said making Taiga look at her with a angry glare before the two middle-schoolers ran away making Taiga sigh with a smile on his lips.

"onto that see you later to the examination room" said Hiro before going out of the room and stop to taiga's level.

" his body already healed no sign of trauma or sequel" said Hiro before continuing on his way to the examination room taiga then go to a lab inside the hospital where recovery girl was as she was using a blood analyzer on Ryu's blood.

" like you were thinking nothing he is in perfect condition from Hiro first analyze" said Taiga

" look at that" said recovery girl before Taiga looked at the screen where there was a DNA double helix on the screen "this was his blood sample from last month and for the blood sample from yesterday look at that" she said as on the screen appear a triple DNA Helix making Taiga widen his eyes.

" how is that possible? Nobody can change is genetic code like that in a few days out of all" said Taiga.

" this kid…. He may have more mysteries to him than we knew or he know himself" said recovery girl before she sighed " what will you do?"

Taiga pondered a long time to that before saying " I will register him to UA like that we could have an eye on him every day and prevent any problem he could be implicated in" said Taiga before suddenly the scene froze and darken a little bit before showing it was a picture in a book who got closed afterward by the man who looked at the burning hospital before.

" and so that's how my lord make his first mark in this world and become worthy of his father's powers" said the man who was in a dark void surrounded by clock gears that start to move as he reveal his face.

" but don't worry the story his not finish it's just the beginning and me Woz the loyal servant of my lord will gladly rejoice into the future…" said Woz as he take a big inspiration "IWAE passing through the time and space to rule over the past and the future the king of time who reborn from his ashes and fight to avenge his predecessor and protect all live his name is Kamen Rider Zi-O and in the next chapter you'll see his first fight against the evil lurking in the shadow" said Woz before the scene spin and show the Zi-O ride watch the rider watch and the exodus progrise key.

See you next time

( Woz voice) Soon in my hero academia rider legacy

"We are the san-tacles and our goal is to stole every girl panty of the world" say a villain with an octopus body

" there's actually a new form of trigger using those medals" say Tsukauchi

" yo Ryu! long time no see!" say a man with a blue streak in his hair

" time to be "sharkastic"" say Ryu as he active a new progrise key

" this man … I killed him in the past! how could he be alive?" say Taiga

Don't miss the next chapter

Dead don't count their medals!

A/N well that chapter have been long to publish due to the fact I redo it trice the only part that I don't change was the awakening into the building everything else gone through a full rewrite one week ago and got ended afterward but I'm happy it's finish as I made sure to talk about Ryu's past so we won't have to talk too much about it in the future chapters which will give more space for the present time in the story so this time after the next arc UA will start for our future heroes who will change this world with a rider kick!

Don't forget to post a review it always a pleasure be it a praise or a critic I take everything so onto this have a nice day and see you soon
