Wow… I did not expect my return to school to end up like this…
For one, Sora, Grant, and Weiss are now my classmates, along with Isaiah, Tsukasa, Donald, and Goofy joining the school faculty. But there's also the appearance of two Another Riders from the Reiwa era, which shouldn't be possible if I'm the current main Rider in my timeline. And now, Conquete decided to kick my ass by becoming a Kamen Rider himself and use the powers of another future Kamen Rider to soundly beat my ass to a pulp.
Even still, there's still a lingering feeling that there's something off about this Another Rider encounter that I can't put my finger on…
In the streets, the stranger from the portal was wandering through the city with an inquisitive look.
"Huh, so this was where Rentaro and Iroha used to live before moving to Gamagori…" he commented with a smile, "I gotta say, I can see why they chose to stay here…"
Suddenly, he heard the sounds of battle not too far from where he was. Wanting to investigate, he quickly rushed towards the nearby construction site where he saw the battle between Zi-O and Woz.
"Take this!" Woz declared as he slammed his watch back in, activating the finisher as a line of kanji appear right at the silver clock Rider.
ラ
イ
ジ
ン
グ
エ
ク
ス
プ
ロ
ー
ジ
ョ

He then flew through the kanji with flying side kick and landed his foot right on Zi-O, causing a massive burst of yellow energy that sent Woz back.
HOPPER IMPACT!
Afterwards, he landed on the ground and marveled at the resulting explosion.
R
I
S
I
N
G EXPLOSION!
With a smirk, Woz watched as Zi-O walked out of the crater with heavy wounds from the attack. Rex quickly removed his helmet and coughed up some blood as he glared at the conqueror.
"Do you see the power gap between us?" Woz taunted him, "My Kasshin armor was merely used since we believed you would always follow the path of Oma Zi-O, however now that you are dead set at defying your future. I must up the ante and make sure to clean up your mistakes…"
He then began to laugh maniacally as the others quickly headed towards Rex to help him back to his feet. The stranger, understandably, was scared to see this.
"Now then, let's restart the Another Riders then…" he chuckled as he zipped forward with Zero-One's power, taking down Goofy and Isaiah as he reached the prone Rentaro and Homare.
"R-Rentaro?!" he gasped.
Woz wasted no time as he retrieved the watches to reactivate them and place them back into their hearts, transforming the pair into the Another Rider forms as purple and orange lightning.
SHINOBI…
HATTARI…
As the trio stepped before them, the stranger realized that he needed to act now and save the group. After taking a few steps back, he leaped into the air and landed in between the two groups.
"Huh? Who are you?!" he questioned.
"I suggest you stay away from these people if you know what's good for you…" the stranger warned him.
"And just what makes you think I'll step away from this little disciplinary lesson for my Overlord?" the green clock Rider questioned him.
Soon, he took out from his pocket a golden gourd similar to the one used by the future Rentaro.
'Wait, is he a Kamen Rider just like Rentaro?' the injured Rex thought.
After opening the gourd, the stranger let the orange liquid flow around him as the sound of buzzing wasps filled the air. Once his Mirai Driver was summoned, he grabbed the large orange shuriken and pulled his arm back before performing a kick and readying himself for battle.
"Henshin!"
The stranger then slotted in the shuriken and spun it, summoning another scroll that caused a large metal wasp to assemble behind him and above the group.
FUN~DARI? KETARRI? HATTARI!
Once the wasp was formed, the scroll created a ring with it's own set of kanji that transformed into a large orange shuriken while the wasp fired out several armor pieces that attached themselves onto the stranger. The shuriken then landed on his helmet as the wasp disappeared in a puff of colored smoke.
KAMEN RIDER… HATTA~RI~!
This resulted in a new Rider with a black bodysuit that had light blue markings on it, an orange chestplate with two sashes that held a ninjato on the back, two black and orange gloves with the thighs having orange wrappings, and finally the helmet having a pair of blue eyes underneath the shuriken.
"I am the Ninja with sting written in the soul! Kamen Rider Hattari!"
"Wait, is that another Reiwa-era Rider?" Henrietta asked the two.
"Yeah, that's Kamen Rider Hattari, Shinobi's partner…" Isaiah commented, "But how is he here?"
"We'll talk later, for now we need to flee…" he said as he turned towards the trio, "But first, I'll make sure these people cannot pursue us…"
With those words, Hattari first unleashed a powerful burst of water at the trio.
SUITON NO JUTSU!
Afterwards, he grabbed his sword and unleashed a powerful gust of wind to freeze the trio.
HYOUTON NO JUTSU!
As the ice quickly formed, Hattari grabbed some smoke balls and threw them at the ground, causing a large cloud of smoke to form and blind Woz and the two Another Riders. However Woz was still crafty as he used his spear to break the ice and spin away the smoke, but as soon as he did so, they were gone.
"I see… so the rifts have finally begun to open up…" Conquete noted as he reverted back to normal, "This will be an interesting factor to the game…"
Song: GIRIGIRI – Sonar Pocket
/CHANGE THE NEW WORLD x3/
The opening starts with a showcase of the various Heisei Riders from the past, spanning all the way from Kuuga until Zi-O, before all of a sudden several Ridewatches appear and create both the Future Riders and Forgotten Riders before the title appears
/Bokura ni sono mirai ga tatoeba chikadzuita nara
Hikari wo atsumete terashi kokoro no GEETO wo hiraiteku/
It soon transitions to Rex walking through a museum exhibit about the Heisei Riders, the shadows of their civilian identities appearing as he walks past their armor. Afterwards, when he looks at Zi-O's armor, he gets a headache as flashes of both his memories and Lord Vortigern's memories clash within his mind
/Kitto dareka no tame datte kanji nagara itsudatte tatakatteru
Kizu no kazu dake tsuyoku nareru yo/
A quick shot of Grant firing an arrow from his Zikan Zaxe then transitions into one of Sora performing Ars Arcanum. It then showcases Weiss, Henrietta, Donald, and Goofy preparing themselves for battle before showing Isaiah staring at a mysterious Ridewatch
/Yatto ikite imi wo motte sono hibi ni sorezore no iro motte
Mata niji wo egakou/
It then jumps to Kamen Rider Dark Decade trudging forward with an army of Heartless before showing the shadow of Kamen Rider Calamity and a mysterious Rider in the distance. Once Conquete comes into the picture, he soon takes out the Woz MiRidewatch while Rex takes out the Zi-O Ridewatch.
/INTERLUDE/
Rex/Conquete: "Henshin!"
/Girigiri ni STAY shite sakebe tsugi no mirai kitai shitai/
Once their drivers activated, we soon cut to a revolving scene where Kamen Rider Zi-O DecadeArmor is battling against Kamen Rider Woz, whose steadily dodging some of the former's attacks. Meanwhile, Grant is fighting against Kamen Rider Calamity alongside Weiss, who takes out a new Ridewatch before combining her energy with Grant to perform a dual attack
/Girigiri ni FLY AGAIN iku zo tsukame SMILE! SMILE! SMILE!/
Next was a shot of Sora, Donald, and Goofy fighitng against many of the Heartless. Donald was using his Wizard Staff while Goofy unleashed a Watermelon Sparking version of his Goofy Tornado. When they are surrounded, Sora transforms into the Mystic Link Drive, with the Siege and Bandit Link Drives appearing alongside him as projections before unleashing a powerful burst of magic to create two new Link Drives.
/Bokura ni wa mamoru mono ga aru kara
Sono tame ni wa nani wo sutete mo ii sa/
As the battle is happening, we see some of Rex and Henrietta's classmates watching the battle unfold alongside some of the legendary Riders and Future Riders, who are fighting against several of the Heartless
/Higashi kara nishi e noboru taiyou ga kyou mo kimi wo terasu kara/
It soon changes to show Zero on his own as he looks at the Dark Decade Rider Card as it glitches to become four Rider Cards based on the Forgotten Riders.
/Woah x3 CHANGE THE NEW WORLD/
It soon cuts to Henrietta and Weiss readying themselves for battle alongside Isaiah, Donald, and Goofy, a strange aura starting to glow from them
/Woah x3 CHANGE THE NEW WORLD/
Then it jumps to show Sora, Grant, and finally Rex as they raise their weapons into the air, creating a triple helix that lights up the sky before showing Oma Zi-O's empty throne, now with Sora's Keyblade resting on it
CHAPTER 23: IZANAGI 2022
Meanwhile, in a small dojo just south of the park, Iroha was worried about what she saw. Her brother and one of her upperclassmen had transformed into monsters before her eyes, the same type of monster as the large beetle that attacked during December.
All of a sudden, she noticed a de-morphed Hattari arrive alongside an exhausted Donald and Goofy while Sora and Grant helped an injured Rex into the room.
"Isamichi-kun?!" Iroha gasped, "What happened?!"
"I'm not sure, but these people need help with their friend!" Hattari, or rather Isamichi Konjo, told the young girl as the pair let the young king onto the floor to allow Donald and Henrietta to tend to him, along with checking on Sora and Grant since they had sustained some minor injuries during the fight.
Iroha looked worried as she examined the injured party.
"Wait, what happened to you guys?" she questioned.
"Well, we ended up getting attacked by a pair of ninjas…" Grant said without the slightest hint of sarcasm.
"You're kidding, right?" Iroha asked.
"I wish we were…" Rex grumbled, wincing in pain from Conquete's attack, "I guess what I saw was right…"
The girl fell silent; she knew which ninjas they were talking about. "You mean… Rentaro… and Kagayaku-san?" she guessed.
This caused everyone to turn towards her, "You know about the Another Riders?!"
"Y-Yes… Rentaro's my brother, and I've met Kagayaku-san a few times before" she explained, "I was looking for a new backpack when I accidentally spilled the soda I had onto a delinquent's uniform. But then he and Kagayaku-san saved me." The girl soon smiled, "He's always had a strong sense of justice, he wanted to protect not just the weak, but those he loved like his family and friends" However her smile soon began to disappear, "But then, after Rentaro got beaten up because of me… they appeared…"
"The Horsemen…" Rex, Grant, and Sora muttered under their breaths before Iroha continued her story…
FLASHBACK…
"You want to form a contract with us?" Guerre asked the pair as she and Famine held out their Another Ridewatches towards the past Rentaro and Homare, "If you do, you'll both have the power you two desperately wish for and maybe, just maybe, help achieve your dreams…"
As Rentaro got up, Homare turned towards the future ninja, "Hold on, this might be a trap!"
"But… this is my only chance to get the power to protect the people I care about…" the boy stated, "I… I don't want to feel powerless anymore; I want to help keep you and my sister safe…" Rentaro then turned towards Famine, "I accept!"
Homare was comprehensive at this choice before Guerre walked towards her, "Well then, at least your friend over there knows what he wants" she noted, "But what about you? I've heard about what happened to you on the ice rink. You fell from a large jump on the biggest night of your life…"
The former ice skater gasped, "How did you-?!"
"I've always followed the stories of those poor, unfortunate souls who are yearning for more" the Horsewoman stated, "The last few people I gave out these contracts were able to reunite with their beloved, and escape what held them back" With a wicked smile, "So how about it? Do you want to make a comeback?"
Homare thought of this at first, however while her mind was screaming no, there was a small part of her that wanted to return to the ice rink.
"Well…" she said as Guerre sighed, "I guess I should hold this back and come back when you're ready to receive this power…" The Horsewoman walked away as Famine looked at her with confusion.
"What are you doing?" he asked her.
But she merely began counting down with her fingers as she saw Homare make her decision.
"Wait!" she shouted.
"Yes?" Guerre asked, turning towards the blonde girl.
"I… I'll do it…" she said with some minor hesitation, "I accept the contract…"
"Perfect…" the Horsewoman said with a smile as both of them activated their Another Ridewatches.
"With the Heart of the Blade and the Sting of the Soul, Rentaro Kaguya and Homare Kagayaku, consider yourselves the twin ninjas of the future, Kamen Riders Shinobi and Hattari!" they exclaimed as Homare looked confused.
"Wait, Kamen Ri-"
The former ice skater wasn't able to finish her sentence as both watches were shoved into them, purple and orange lightning shooting out of them as they were transformed into their Another Rider forms.
SHINOBI…
HATTARI…
"That's why they became Another Riders…" Sora noted as Iroha finished her story.
"After that, I just ran and hid as those weird watches turned them into monsters" the girl stated, "It was like they weren't themselves anymore…"
"This is bad…" Grant growled, "Seriously, how the hell did Conquete get his hands on the powers of the Reiwa-era Riders?! That should be impossible!"
"Not for him…" Isaiah stated as he turned towards Iroha.
"I promise I won't tell anyone what I saw" she promised him.
Taking out his tablet, Isaiah soon displayed Woz's helmet along with some minor stats, "As the strategist of the Quarters, Conquete is the one who formulates how they handle the various threats to Oma Zi-O's reign, ourselves included."
"So you mean those watches…" Rex realized.
"Likely he must have seen how much power you and Grant have displayed with the Heisei Ridewatches and thus decided to advance his own type of Ridewatch to counter them, my prince…" the commander noted before he showed them the Zero-One watch and a red watch which displayed on the doors a Rider with a fiery cross slash that had fiery yellow compound eyes, white on the top, red and black on the left and right side, and finally a blade doing down the helmet.
"What are those?" Isamichi asked, catching the commander's attention.
"These are the Mirai Ridewatches, or MiRidewatches. These Ridewatches are more advanced than the regular Ridewatches as they are designed to optimize the suit's base capabilities" he explained, "For example, while the Zero-One and Saber MiRidewatches seemingly draw power from their base forms, they can also serve to imbue the person with the same aura that is seen when using a Ridewatch without transforming, such as increasing Woz's speed or encasing his weapons in fire…"
"So they're like stronger Ridewatches then" Weiss understood.
"In a way, they are…" he confirmed.
"That doesn't explain who this Geiz Revive guy is…" the young king said, slowly getting up from the floor with bandages around him, "He said that Geiz Revive was a warlord, something that Zero was also calling Grant whenever he proclaimed his new forms…"
"That's something I've been wondering myself…" Grant agreed, "As of today, two of the horsemen have called me some sort of warlord"
"Maybe it has something to do with your future?" Sora questioned the soldier, "So that still begs the question, is Geiz Revive a warlord or a savior?"
"It could be the case… or not…" Grant agreed, "I mean, the future has begun to change ever since we started this journey, so it's possible that this Geiz Revive could fall into either category…" he noted.
"That is true, though what the Horseman said troubles me…" Weiss noted as Isamichi looked out the window, "He said that several eras have been reborn thanks to Rex giving me Zi-O's powers, so that would explain why Shinobi, Zero-One, and Saber's powers are now in Conquete's hands"
The orange ninja soon interrupted Weiss, "Excuse me…" he interjected, "But what does all this have to do with my friend becoming one of those monsters?"
"Well, Another Riders are created with the sole purpose of eras to allow their pretenders to take over and grant the demon king more power" the resistance fighter stated.
"So that explains that portal I went through…" Isamichi noted, confusing the group, "If I had to guess, there might be some small rifts created by these Reiwa-era Another Riders."
"Meaning it's another headache to consider" Rex grumbled as he got up, "Just when we thought the Horsemen couldn't get any more powerful. Next thing we know, we'll be fighting Arbiters alongside the Heartless and Another Riders…"
"Let's not push our luck…" Isamichi told the group, "Regardless, I'll do what I can to help you guys save my friend and Iroha's brother" he swore to the group.
"Thanks Hattari…" Sora thanked him.
"It's Isamichi actually, Isamichi Konjo" the orange ninja corrected himself, "Well, maybe we should take a rest for now and lick our wounds. Afterwards, you five should learn the basics of ninjutsu" he said as he motioned towards Sora, Rex, Grant, Weiss, and Henrietta.
"Donald and I will go and try and search for any more hints of the Another Riders" the dog knight said as the others agreed.
"Alright, for now we should take a break" Isaiah noted.
The teens soon agreed as they rested up for now before their training began.
Meanwhile, at a pier, Rentaro and Homare were looking over the sea as they thought about what had happened earlier.
"So, do you think we made the right choice?" he asked his upperclassman.
The ice skater was silent at first before looking at her reflection in the water, "To be honest, I don't think so…" she admitted, "Maybe… maybe it's best that we just let Rex-san and the others defeat our monster forms, just like how the Kamen Riders of Fuuto handle their enemies."
"That would be quite difficult, miss Kagayaku…" Zero told them as he arrived to the pier, "Even if you fall, as long as those watches work, you won't lose your powers… If my Overlord wants to destroy those watches, he'll need both your future self and Hattari's power. However with their Time Mazines' chronological navigation systems are on cooldown, it's unlikely that he could obtain that power."
Rentaro soon gripped his chest as he could feel the Another Ridewatch pulsing in his heart, while the ice skater looked a bit disappointed in herself.
"I see that you two are hesitating" he noted, "Is there something wrong?"
"Well, if I keep using this power, will I really be able to protect the weak?" the future ninja asked him, "I mean, I can feel myself lose control whenever I change into that form…"
"I see there's no need to worry" he reassured him, "As long as you know what you desire, I will not hold a grudge against you." The herald however hardened his look, "However, there's a chance that Conquete might not be so kind to the possibility of an Another Rider turning against us…" He soon turned towards the pair, "Honestly, what you do with your power is upto you. My colleagues may have given you your powers, but it is your decision to do what you wish with them…"
The herald soon walked away as the words Rex had said whilst he was under the control of Dark Decade echoed in his mind.
"Don't worry Zero, we'll get you out of there…"
"I know that we may be enemies… but I swear, I'll make you pay for taking over Zero's body, Dark Decade!"
'Why did my Overlord show concern for me?' he questioned, 'The only person he would care about is his future wife and the friends he had made, so why would he care about a lowly servant like me? Then there was the concern my true Overlord showed after we had reported to him.'
"Now that you have gained your own body, it may be wise to try and avoid invoking Dark Decade's power, lest he finds a way to take over once again…"
Soon, he sighed as he took out the de-powered Zi-O DecadeArmor FormRide card, the very same card that was used to create the Decade Ridewatch. He then looked up to the moon as for the first time in his life, his loyalty towards Lord Vortigern came into question.
Back with Team Zi-O, they were now in the outside part of the Kagura dojo, where they saw a small training area with various obstacles. Iroha herself was wearing a red gi with white in the inside and a red sash, while Isamichi was wearing a black and gold ninja gi with an orange mask.
"Alright you three, it's time for you to learn how to be ninjas!" Isamichi noted as he saw the five stepped out.
Rex was now wearing a dark purple ninja gi with metal gloves and sandals and a red scarf, Grant was wearing a red and black gi with a yellow sash and black gloves and boots, Weiss was now clad in a white gi with black lines and red gloves and boots, and finally Henrietta was clad in a light brown gi with a yellow scarf and black gloves and boots. Finally, there was Sora who was wearing a ninja variant of his regular outfit, complete with a silver gauntlet on his right arm, a gray scarf, and he even tapped his feet to protect them.
"I see that the uniforms I provided are of good quality for you five?" he asked them.
"Mine's a bit tight, but I think I can make it work…" Weiss noted as she adjusted her uniform.
"It can wait" Iroha noted as they looked towards the course ahead, which consisted of five slanted steps hung over, "Anyways, here's the first goal you have to get through this obstacle is by leaping from step to step in a quick motion." She then turned towards the five, "Think you guys can do that?"
Rex gulped, "Well, something tells me… maybe?" he said with cautious optimism.
Grant however limbered up and got himself ready to jump. Once he was ready, he made it to the first step easily before leaping to the next one. However, as he reached the second step he could feel his foot begin to slip and so, he quickly jumped towards the next step only to lose his balance and plummet to the water.
"Oooh, you were good at the first step, but that hesitation at the second step cost you…" Isamichi commented as the soldier got out of the water.
Rex was next as he took a deep breath and quickly leaped between the first three steps, however as he leaped towards the fourth step, he suddenly slipped and fell into the water. He soon got out and spat out some of the water that got into his mouth.
"You were close, but I think you stayed on that fourth step a bit too long" the orange ninja commented as he helped the young king get out of the water.
Weiss, while timid at first, was able to easily leap through all five steps and make it to the end.
"Nice work, Tsukuyomi-san" Iroha praised as the white-haired girl took a bow.
Henrietta was soon up next and much like her friends, she was able to make it through the first two steps, but ended up staying too long on the third and fell in.
"Next time, try and make sure that you're in a position to make it to the next step" he told her as she got out of the water.
Finally, there was Sora at the starting point. Much like before, he decided to try out the new magic he had used while he was pursuing the Shinobi-no-Ninja. As he turned blue, he zipped from step to step before he reached the final step.
"Way to go, Sora!" Rex cheered alongside Henrietta.
"That was amazing!" she agreed.
However, much like before, the Keyblade wielder had placed too much magic into his feet and soon rocketed forward and nearly hit the others. Thinking fast, everyone leaped out of the way and crashed into a tree.
"Ow…" he groaned as the others looked towards him.
"Okay, I consider that a pass despite the… painful ending, so it looks like Rex-san, Grant-san, and Henrietta-san will have to work on their dexterity while Iroha handles you and Weiss-san's next lesson…" he noted as the resistance fighter and the Keyblade wielder, after getting out of the tree, agreed and followed the young kunoichi in training as they reached four boards hanging from a set of wodden support beams, with the fourth one placed a bit lower than the last, and an acrobatic net situated below the boards.
"Alright, this one should be easy for you two" she told the pair, "All you need to do is cling onto these boards and transfer between them until you reach the end"
"Alright, I got this!" Sora said with a confident smirk, going towards the starting platform and readying his run.
With a smirk, he leaped forwards and grabbed onto one of the boards as he started slowly making his way towards the end, but as he did so, the boy's grip started to falter before finally he lost his grip and fell into the net.
"You know, you shouldn't have been so overconfident, Sora-san" the orange ninja said as he shook his head.
Weiss on the other hand chose to take her time as she was able to make it, though she slipped up at the end and fell into the net.
Soon this continued like this for the rest of the day, with each of the five going through various obstacles such as a large warped wall and two spinning longs and a small spring-loaded circle in order to train to become ninjas. In between this, Iroha taught them some of their techniques, such as using smoke balls and the like.
After the training session had ended, they soon looked towards the quintet who were extremely tired from the various courses and lessons.
"You know, I'm surprised that you five were able to do well…" the orange ninja said as he looked towards Weiss, Grant, and Henrietta, who had done well in the different courses.
"I'm surprised how much training went into becoming a ninja" the purple-haired girl commented as she sat down, "But it was really fun to do, right Rex?"
She soon looked towards the soaked and pettered out young king and Keyblade wielder. It was clear that Sora and Rex had it the worst, since the former struggled a lot with the courses due to his inexperience in free-running while the latter had it rough due to him learning how to ratio his new magic.
"Well it was fun for you Etta…" Rex grumbled, "It was complete hell for me…"
"Yeah, I'm still trying my best to learn how much magic I should put into my jumps…" Sora agreed.
Isamichi sighed as he looked towards the pair, "Alright, it's clear that you two have a long way to go to become ninjas…"
The day soon passed as everyone decided to return to their homes and rest, the two ninjas telling them that they will likely pick up training tomorrow. Isamichi, as he was getting ready for his first night in the current era, noticed Sora, back to his regular garb, standing at the starting point of the steps with Rex in his normal attire, Watch Holder included, by his side.
"What's wrong?" Iroha asked, already ready to go to bed when she saw her friend standing there.
"It's Sora and Rex, they stayed behind" he noted, pointing towards the pair.
"Ready to do this?" the young king asked as Sora looked towards him with a similar look of determination.
"Yeah, are you?" the Keyblade wielder asked him.
Rex merely nodded as the pair readied themselves for the course ahead. Soon, they were off, the Keyblade wielder quickly leaping from step to step with Rex close behind. They soon reached the boards as Rex overtook Sora and began his move through them, his face showing no signs of giving up. Sora however took a different approach as he gripped the boards from the side and move from them by changing his grip on either board, but they were able to reach them.
They soon leaped from tree branch to tree branch, a lesson they had to learn in order to get from place to place quickly, Sora even using some of his new magic to zip between the branches easily. Not wanting to be beaten, Rex equipped the OOO Ridewatch as the roars of a cheetah could be heard before he began using the same technique they were taught with the steps to leap from tree to tree in order to keep up.
"Wow, these two are really going at it…" the orange ninja commented as he and Iroha followed the action.
As they reached the logs, Sora did something new and skid across the log and onto the platform while Rex was thrown off-balance, but soon gripped the spinning log and flung himself upward before swapping to the power of a grasshopper and kicked the air in order to reach the platform, de-activating the watch as the two were once again neck in neck, their last stop was the large warped wall and much like before, they quickly took a jumping start and were able to reach the top. As the pair finally laid down, they were exhausted beyond all belief.
"Hey… thanks for doing this race with me" Sora thanked the young king.
"No problem…" he reassured him, "I just… wanted to help…"
"Yeah, I guess there are some benefits to this new kind of magic…" the Keyblade wielder agreed before slowly getting up. "Even still, I don't want to see Rentaro be manipulated like that…" he admitted.
"Speaking from experience?" Isamichi asked him, surprising the duo as they stood up.
"Yeah…" he noted, "I've seen my friend Riku get manipulated by an evil witch, and then I saw two people get forcibly transformed into monsters…" He soon gripped his fist, "I can't let Rentaro-san or Homare-san be manipulated by the Horsemen any more…"
"Neither can I…" Rex agreed, "After eating a loss from Conquete, I have to get stronger if I want to protect my home" he stated to the pair, "I can't give up anymore, not after all I've been through…"
"Alright, let's take them on together!" Iroha cheered as the three of them shared a high five.
Isamichi smiled, 'These two really remind me of Rentaro…' he thought to himself.
As Rex got up, he had a major headache as visions of the Another Riders attacking more civilians flashed through his mind. The young king briefly stumbled before regaining his footing, confusing the ninjas and Sora.
"What's wrong?" the orange ninja asked as the young king took out his phone.
"Trouble…" he told him as he dialed Henrietta's number, "Hey, Etta? You still up?"
"Y-Yeah, I was just brushing my teeth before you called… what's wrong?" she asked him on the other end of the line.
"Get changed, the Another Riders are on the prowl again. Sora, Isamichi and I will go ahead" Rex informed her.
"Oh crap…" he heard her mutter, "I'll alert the others."
Meanwhile at the same time in a streetlight-lit street, there was a bike race between two gangsters, with several people betting on who would win. As the racers revved their engines, all of a sudden the bikes vanished in a puff of smoke, leaving the onlookers and especially the racers themselves were confused.
"Hey, where are the bikes?" one of the racers asked.
However, several people gasped in horror as the Shinobi-no-Ninja and Hattari-no-Ninja had arrived and were there with their Ronin Midnightwilds and Nimble Wasps by their side. The people there ran in fear while Zero and Conquete watched on from the distance.
"My my, this has to be one of our best efforts, isn't that right Zero?" the conqueror chuckled.
"As long as we create the Another Riders here in 2019 and not in their original eras, we can lessen the chance of my Overlord meeting their counterparts and allowing those lost eras to be re-erased. I know, you were the one who suggested this after all…" the herald noted.
"Indeed, but given Hattari's appearance, it seems that they may change…" Conquete noted as he watched the two Another Riders attack the civilians. "Once they obtain Shinobi's power, it would mean they would save that era after it's initial destruction…"
Conquete soon took out his Future Note, writing something down.
"Maybe, what we need to do, is beat them to taking Shinobi's power?" he suggested as he finished and saw the book activate it's time-altering power, "After all, the flow of time and his fate can be changed with a simple sentence…"
Zi-O runs to the Shinobi-no-Ninja and Hattari-no-Ninja
This would trigger the same vision that Rex would receive and sure enough, sometime later he, Sora, Iroha, and Isamichi arrived to the scene as the young king fired off several shots at the purple Another Rider while Sora clashed blades against the Hattari-no-Ninja, allowing the two ninjas to direct the people away.
The Another Riders' transformations soon fell as they backed off, the two conflicted by what they were seeing as the others arrived.
"Should have known you'd be here…" Sora muttered.
"Sempai, Isamichi-san…" the past Rentaro muttered.
"We've come here to stop you, Rentaro, Kagayaku…" the orange ninja stated.
The pair seemed conflicted, they wanted the attacks to stop, but should they be forced to fight their classmates and friends in order to do so?
"Nii-san, you just wanted to protect the weak, right?" Iroha pleaded, "That's why you accepted that evil watch…"
"T-This power has changed us for the worse…" Homare told the red ninja, "We're not the same people you know anymore, we're… monsters…"
"That's not true…" Sora told them as he took out something from his pocket.
It was a piece of the OOO Greed Another Ridewatch's faceplate, something that Rex and the others were surprised to see.
"Wait, you kept that?" Grant asked him.
Sora soon looked towards the pair, "Listen, I know what it's like to fall to darkness. It was terrifying, seeing you attack the ones you love, but don't think that you can't escape your fate. After all, I know a couple of people who did not let the darkness define who they are…" He soon looked recalled the words Riku once told him while they were in the Realm of Darkness.
"If the world is made of light and darkness... We'll be the darkness."
He soon smiled as he saw Rex nod before slapping on the Ziku Driver and take out another Ridewatch to go alongside his own, it was a black Ridewatch with a crimson red dial that displayed the year 2016, a skull with bullet chambers where the eyes were, and the incomplete helmet of a fiery red Rider.
"If that's the future you two chose of your own free will, then we'll just have to stop you by force!" Sora declared as he recalled the day Rex regained his power, "But if you believe in your futures, then you have the courage to give up that power…"
Suddenly, both Another Ridewatches activated within the pair, causing them to transform into their Another Rider forms.
SHINOBI…
HATTARI…
"Everyone, let's go!" Rex called out as Grant, Sora, and Isamichi ran to his side alongside the others.
ZI-O!/GEIZ!
DANTE!/WIZARD!
As Rex slotted the Dante Ridewatch into the right slot, a large mechanical firefly appeared and protected the quartet from the Another Riders' attacks. Meanwhile, Sora gripped his heart as he prepared a new form, the memories of his first adventure returning to him.
"Henshin!"
"Limit Form!"
Suddenly, a bright light appeared as the quartet transformed, Sora's clothes transforming into something familiar to him. It was a red zipped-up shirt with a black white-sleeved vest over it, a pair of white gloves that had a pair of metal pieces on the back, an angled dark blue belt, a pair of red pants that were as large as his current ones, and a pair of yellow shoes. This was an improved version of his Limit Form, a Drive Form that encapsulated his first adventure as a Keyblade wielder.
ARMOR TIME! BURST! DAN~TE~!
ARMOR TIME! PL~EASE~! WI~ZA~RD~!
Meanwhile, the metal firefly had transformed into a set of Rider Armor that attached itself to Zi-O alongside Geiz's WizardArmor. The armor itself was mostly red, with red gun barrel-like gloves and boots, a wingpack, and two shoulderpads that resembled the chambers of a sixshot, and a fire-like helmet covering that included a grasshopper-like mouthguard. Soon the katakana for Dante's name appeared and attached itself to the helmet, causing steam to come off of it.
FUN~DARI? KETARRI? HATTARI! KAMEN RIDER… HATTA~RI~!
Finally, Isamichi's wasp companion appeared and summoned his armor, completing the transformation as the group charged at the Another Riders, Isaiah, Donald and Goofy fighting against some of the Ronin Midnightwilds, and Weiss, Henrietta, and Iroha fighting against the Nimble Wasps, leaving Sora and the three Riders to pair off and take on the Another Riders on their own.
As Rex clashed with the Shinobi-no-Ninja, the two Horsemen were intrigued.
"It seems that even if their fate is inevitable, they still fight to change it" Zero noted, "To be honest, it's a character trait that I can admire in my Overlord…"
"Even still, that desire can be broken" Conquete noted, "After all, we've seen Zi-O's resolve break before, we can surely break this rebellious streak within him…"
Returning to the battle, Sora and Zi-O quickly clashed with the ninja Another Rider while on the nearby rooftops, both Hattari and his Another Rider counterpart were battling at lightning speed with Grant providing back up via firing off several spells.
"Damn, these guys really don't make it easy…" the Keyblade wielder noted as he and Rex used their ninja training to use, matching the Another Rider's attacks.
When the Shinobi-no-Ninja began to struggle, Zi-O quickly summoned his Heisei-ber and dialed in Gaim's power alongside Ex-Aid's.
HEY EX-AID! HEY GAIM!
He then saw a large strawberry-like tornado form around his blade as the Shinobi-no-Ninja leaped at him. He pressed the trigger and allow him to unleash a powerful slash attack on the monster, knocking him out of his transformation temporarily.
EX-AID-GAIM DUAL TIME BREAK!
As Rentaro got back up, Famine soon appeared, "You never give up, do you Zi-O…? You'll just end up destroying yourself…"
The young boy then reached in and grabbed the Another Ridewatch and restarted it, transforming Rentaro back into his monster form. The battle began once again as Sora leaped in between Zi-O and the Shinobi-no-Ninja and grabbed him by his arms to bring him into a headbutt before punching him away.
"Believe in your future!" the Keyblade wielder declared as his body began to glow with magic once more.
He then leaped at him, unleashing first a horizontal slash, then a heavy downwards slash, and finally two consecutive slashes before leaping into the air and performing a flying side kick, knocking the Shinobi-no-Ninja into a large crate that caused a gourd to appear as Rentaro fell out of his transformation.
Sora, who had turned back to normal, and Zi-O soon arrived as Famine was ready to restart the watch when all of a sudden, Rentaro grabbed his arm while resting his hand on the gourd.
"Stop it!" he stated, "I'll open my future path by myself!"
"Wait what?" Famine questioned before he saw the gourd and his heart begin to glow.
"I may not have the power to protect others right now" the future ninja said as he got up, grabbing the gourd as he did so, "But I… I believe in my future!"
Suddenly, the scroll glowed brightly as the Another Ridewatch flew out of him, fusing with the gourd as a keyhole appeared before it. Knowing what to do, Sora pointed his Keyblade towards it as a beam of light appeared and the keyhole 'unlocked' itself before the light died down. In Rentaro's hands was the gourd Rex saw in his dream, the very same one that the ninja's future self had used to transform into Shinobi.
Without hesitation, he opened the gourd and let its contents flow out, causing something new to appear. It was a green scroll-like driver with two red ports on the sides, along with a slot for a shuriken to go to.
HIMITSU DRIVER!
As he spotted the purple shuriken, Rentaro grabbed it and placed it into the driver.
GAMA, HASHIN!
Rentaro once more, or rather for the first time, performed his transformation pose, a series of seals appearing as he slammed the ground before taking his position.
"Henshin!"
DARE JA? ORE JA? NIN~JA!
Once he spun the shuriken, the seal began to summon the metallic toad from the future as it spat out Shinobi's armor.
SHINO~BI! KEN~ZAN!
Zi-O soon chuckled, "I knew this will work out!"
Conquete however growled, "That… that's impossible! There's no what the Another Ridewatches can be changed!"
With newfound confidence in himself, Rentaro, no… Shinobi declared, "I am the Ninja with the blade written in the heart! Kamen Rider Shinobi!" He then turned towards the Keyblade wielder and young king, "Sora-san, Rex-sempai…. Thank you for believing in me and my future…" he thanked them.
Sora soon smirked as they charged at Famine, who whistled for Zoo to appear.
"Tricky Form!"
ZOO!
Once he donned the familiar monkey-like transformation, the young Horseman soon began clashing with the reborn Shinobi and the Limit Form Sora. This made Zi-O smile before he dodged an attack from Conquete.
"You know, I should have known that you'd find a way to mess up my plan…" he growled, "No matter, I'll just take you down the old fashioned way…"
He then took out his transformation MiRidewatch and activated it.
WOZ! AC~TION~!
The conqueror soon readied his transformation while the battle behind the pair raged on.
"Henshin…"
TOU~EI~!
The holographic clock soon fired out it's katakana letters as Zi-O punched them right back at the green clock Rider's helmet.
FUTURE TIME! SUGOI! JIDAI! M~IRAI~! KAMEN RIDER WOZ! W~OZ~!
Now as Kamen Rider Woz, Conquete joined his fellow Horseman as they fought against Zi-O, Sora, and Shinobi with the odds stacked against them three to two. He then grabbed the silver clock Rider by the neck.
"Zi-O, do not interfere…" he said coldly.
"Not on your life!" Zi-O said before stamping his feet, causing one of his barrels to spin as the howl of a wolf was heard.
The silver clock Rider then performed a roundhouse kick to disorient him while he spun the barrel on his right arm, the whip of a chameleon's tounge being heard as he disappeared.
"You can't hide forever, Zi-O! I'll find you!" he growled as he looked around before he heard the sounds of a leopard and an eagle before spotting too late Zi-O flying at him with a literal Superman punch, landing a blow not unlike the Man of Steel himself.
When he tried to attack with his spear, all four barrels soon spun as a lilac purple barrier appeared around the silver clock Rider, allowing him to roar like a lion and knock the Another Rider back long enough for him to land.
Back with the battle between Geiz, Hattari, and the Hattari-no-Ninja, as the red clock Rider charged up another spell, he felt his heart clench as he stumbled a bit. A faint growl could be heard as Geiz wondered what had just happened.
'What was that?' he thought to himself.
However this had to wait as he quickly created a magical barrier around himself to protect from the star attacks the kunoichi Another Rider was unleashing on him.
"Grant, what was that?" Weiss asked as she arrived to his side, firing her blaster to knock away any of the Heartless that would try to attack the pair.
"I… I don't know…" he admitted. The red clock Rider then shook it off and continued his magic barrage on the female Another Rider.
On that note, Hattari and the Hattari-no-Ninja were clashing blades as the kunoichi Another Rider quickly summoned a fuma shuriken attached to a rope of regular shurikens for her to swing around and slash at her Kamen Rider counterpart.
"Come on Kagayaku-san! I know that you're in there!" he shouted as he blocked the attack before unleashing a fiery slash.
FLA~ME~ NINPOW!
As the Another Rider backed off, Hattari noticed his belt briefly glitch before he saw the Himitsu Driver now around his waist with his shuriken attached to it.
"What the? How did that get here?" he questioned.
"I don't know, but I think something must have happened to my brother that caused it" Iroha noted as she joined him in battle.
Returning to the battle at hand, Zi-O and Sora were able to team up with Shinobi, the trio soon stood together against the Horsemen.
"I see… if that's the case" Woz noted before taking out a purple MiRidewatch with Shinobi's helmet on it, "I might as well fight a ninja with a ninja…"
"Wait, is that my helmet?" Shinobi questioned as the green clock Rider activated the watch.
SHINOBI!
He then slotted it in and pressed the button, performing the same action as the ninja Rider did and creating his own summoning seal with his personal symbol in the middle.
"Kamen Henge!"
TOU~EI~!
After slamming the watch into the side, the three watch straps changed their colors from green to purple as the katakana for Shinobi attached itself to his helmet while his armor changed up.
FUTURE TIME! DARE JA? ORE JA? NIN~JA! FU~TU~RING SHINOBI! SHINOBI!
His armor now sported a front watchstrap that resembled Shinobi's wrappings along with a shuriken on the front, a new long purple scarf, two new shuriken-shaped shoulderpads, and the watch hands on his helmet now were shark as a shuriken with purple on the front.
"Behold! This is the power of the initial Shinobi timeline!" Woz Futuring Shinobi declared, "What stands before you is Kamen Rider Woz Futuring Shinobi! Going forth!"
While intimidated at first, Shinobi and Woz clashed as the other two heroes backed him up. Unfortunately for them, the green clock Rider was much more experienced then the three as he used as he easily zipped around in the shadows, prompting Shinobi to do the same, spinning his shuriken as they clashed kicks.
FINISH~ NINPOW!
The two soon slid back as Sora and Zi-O arrived to his side.
"Man, this guy is tough…" the ninja Rider grumbled.
"No kidding…" he agreed.
"Oi! Conquete! Let's finish them off…" Famine told the green clock Rider as they readied themselves.
"With pleasure…" he chuckled as he summoned his spear and switched modes.
KAMASHI-SUGI!
Zi-O soon summoned his Zikan Gilade and fired off a few shots to make him back off.
"It's time for you to fall once again, Zi-O!" Woz chuckled as he activated his finisher.
BEYOND THE TIME!
Not wanting to be outdone, Zi-O activated his own finisher.
FINISH TIME! DANTE!
As he used his other hand to spin the Driver, the roars and cries of all the Burst Shell animals were heard as the barrel on his dominant arm spun rapidly, causing sparks of flames to appear on his arm.
BLAZING TIME BREAK!
NINPO JIKAN SHIBARI NO JUTSU!
With two shadow clones created, Woz charged in as Zi-O ran right at him with a flaming fist.
DANTE BURNING INFERNO!
SHINOBI KAGE JIKKOU!
The two attacks soon clashed before a large explosion was heard, knocking the pair back as they de-morphed.
"You know, I thought that by having my Driver here, it would make things easier…" Conquete growled as Famine joined his side while Shinobi and Sora helped Rex back up, "It's clear however that your stubborn nature is something I have to plan ahead for…"
They soon escaped as the young king got back up, "Thanks guys…" he thanked the two.
"No problem, sempai…" Rentaro reassured him, "Even still, I had no idea you were a Kamen Rider…"
"Well, times change" Sora told the ninja Rider, "I mean, we were able to save an era of the future, right?"
Rex soon agreed as they saw the gourd connect once again. However, rather than connect to him, they saw the purple light meet Sora's heart as a new Ridewatch was created alongside a copy of the Shinobi shuriken.
HE IS THE NINJA WITH THE BLADE WRITTEN IN THE HEART! THE RIDER WHO FIGHTS FROM THE SHADOWS…
As the Ridewatch appeared in the Keyblade wielder's hands, he saw that it was purple with a silver dial and button, along with the shuriken symbol and the year 2022 printed on it.
SHINOBI!
Rex merely smiled as they saw the two new items in Sora's hands. "Looks like Shinobi is here to stay it seems" he chuckled as he saw that Sora had obtained a Rider Link once again.
Suddenly, they heard Homare scream as they turned towards the sky where they saw the girl fall from the sky.
Earlier, Geiz was forced to block more of the Hattari-no-Ninja's attacks. However, the more he used that form, the more the aches and pains he had as the mysterious growl started to grow more agitated.
'Crap, I have to switch forms and fast!' he thought as he lowered the barrier and switched Ridewatches.
"Set Up!"
ARMOR TIME! COME ON! BA~RO~N!
Once he entered his BaronArmor, the pain seemed to stop as Geiz began knocking many of the Hattari-no-Ninja's attacks away, allowing the real Hattari to set up another attack, this time focusing a high amount of electricity into his palm.
DENGEKI NINPOW!
"Eat this!" Hattari declared before, after getting a boost from Iroha, leaped towards the Another Rider at lightning speed, thrusting it into her back and unleashing a large amount of electricity into her.
RAIDEN NO JUTSU!
This was able to dis-orient the Hattari-no-Ninja before she exploded, knocking her out cold as the Another Ridewatch for her broke apart. As she fell from the sky however, Shinobi spotted her falling to her doom.
"Homare!" he cried out before leaping into the air, catching the girl as he landed in his regular form.
He soon noticed the pieces of the Another Ridewatch scatter around him while Hattari looked towards him. Zi-O and Sora quickly rushed to him as Homare soon began to stir, the girl seeing the quartet before her.
"Wha… what happened?" she asked before noticing the pieces of the Another Ridewatch on the ground.
"It's over, we're free now…" he reassured her as she smiled.
"Hey listen… I'm sorry that I didn't talk out of taking that contract before and instead joined you…" she apologized, "I guess that… I wasn't as sure about my future as I thought…"
"That's okay, I guess I was just too caught in up in obtaining a power that I forgot why I wanted to use it in the first place…" he agreed.
The two merely chuckled as the others smiled.
"Aww~! This kind of reminds me of how Kagemaru saved Hibana after she became a monster…" Iroha commented.
"W-Wait, we are nothing like them!" Homare said as she began to blush, "There's no way that Rentaro is like Kagemaru-sama!" However as she said that, the former ice skater clasped her mouth with her hands, realizing she was caught red-handed.
"Hold on, Kagemaru? As in Hotaro Kagemaru from Ninjas of Love?" Henrietta realized, "I mean, I know Rentaro might be a bit lazy at times, but he's not Kagemaru levels of lazy!" The purple-haired girl soon coughed and looked away, "Not that I would know…"
"Then again, I did hear Rentaro call Kagayaku by her first name…" Rex recalled.
"Wait, I can explain myself!" Rentaro gasped as Homare's blush went crimson red.
"MIND YOUR OWN BUISNESS!" she cried out as she leaped out of his arms and ran off, leaving an exasperated Rentaro standing there while Isamichi was laughing at his friend's dismay.
"So wait, what's Ninjas of Love?" Grant asked.
"I think it's some kind of ecchi manga that's popular with most of the teen crowd" Rex recalled, "I mean, I've seen some of my classmates read it but I honestly never got it myself. It's a surprise though that Homare actually reads that though…"
"Yeah, but boy does his cluelessness remind me of how sheepish you are with Henrietta" Donald laughed, ticking the young king off.
"What was that?!" he growled.
"Heh, what's the matter? You admit it?" the duck mage teased.
"I will eat you!" Rex roared, "Come here!"
He soon began to chase after Donald while everyone else just laughed at the two before Rentaro noticed Isamichi was glitching.
"Guess with time now having been restored, I'm being shunted back to my time…" he realized.
Rentaro was confused, but he knew that it had to do with his upperclassman's powers somehow. With a smile, he gave his old friend a hug as he and Iroha said their goodbyes.
"See you in a couple of years…" the ninja Rider said.
"Same here…" he noted, "Even still, it does mean that Iroha doesn't have a crush on your alter-ego since now, she's seen you as you are now…"
Iroha was blushing red, "W-W-Wait, I had a crush on who know?!"
However Isamichi laughed before the purple portal appeared for him to return to his time.
"Welp, that's gonna be a story you might have to ask Rex and co about" he noted, "Bye!"
"Hey wait, get back here!" the red kunoichi growled as the orange ninja left to return to the year 2022.
"Give it a rest sis…" Rentaro told her as she saw that he was back to normal.
The siblings soon shared a hug, the pair having a small reunion as the portal still lingered. Sora noticed that another keyhole had appeared; one that was backed behind a clock projection. With a smirk, he merely pointed towards the Keyblade towards it and locked it shut, closing the rift for good.
Meanwhile, Grant was worried about the prediction that Zero had told him as he stared at the blank Ridewatch he had found after the Ghost Ganma was defeated. The boy could recall something that his father was working on before his death, but he did not know what. Then there was the mysterious growls he had heard while using the WizardArmor, where did those growls come from?
"Beware the warlord clad in red…" he repeated, "Am I… bound to the darkness?"
Weiss soon placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder, but even she was confused by the prediction. As they stared up towards the moon, Grant began to wonder what the future may hold for him specifically…
Will he end up as a savior of humanity… or another warlord ready to conquer it?
In the future, a young man was at an office studying something. It was a case file for a person as he fiddled with two things. First was his lawyer's badge, and the next… was a strange silver pendant with a question mark on it…
CURRENT RIFT: ? 20XX
(SONG: BRAND NEW DAY - Triplane)
/PRELUDE/
A ticking clock appears as the symbols of Zi-O, Geiz, Woz, Tsukuyomi, Dark Decade, as well as the Future and Forgotten Riders appear to replace some of the numbers. Once theclock hits Sora's crown symbol, the clock breaks apart as it briefly reveals the Lanes Between
/Sawagashi kurai mune o kakinarasu shodo no yo ni/

THE NEXT CHAPTER OPENS!
"Another Reiwa Kamen Rider?"
"The name's Kamen Rider Quiz, battle attorney at law! O or X?!"
"In order to defeat the Quiz Metaluna, you must take Quiz's power…"
"You know, you kind of remind me of my son…"
NEXT TIME ON EDGE OF TIME: I 2 I 1995
"The future is mine to decide!"
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
Yo, HackerEX here!
Got another chapter here, and one that's got some world building here along with a bit more focus on who I consider as part of a sort-of main trio of Rex (main Rider protagonist of the story), Sora (main crossover protagonist of the story), and Zero (the Woz parallel). Given that we never really see how Flowmotion is explained to exist, I thought it would be fun to have Sora to discover this ability for himself, with him possibly having that ability refined if we I ever do get around to doing a story based on Dream Drop Distance.
Speaking of unexplained things, another thing I wanted to add in here was how the MiRidewatches are different from regular Ridewatches. Given that they seem to be only used by Woz and no-one else, I thought that it would be fun to have these watches be the creation of Conqeute here, with the possibility that he has created ones based on the other Future Riders like Shinobi and Quiz along with Reiwa Riders like Zero-One, Saber, and the upcoming 2021 Rider. It also opens up the possibility of having regular Ridewatches of these Riders also be created.
With that said, I'm sure that you're are scratching their heads as to why the title of the next chaper is based on the main theme of A Goofy Movie of all things? Well I wanted to keep up the tribute aspect of Zi-O into paying homage to other things and, given that I've given Sora and Donald a lot of character development out of the SDG trio, it's finally time to have Goofy be one of the two main focus characters for the upcoming Quiz arc. So look forward to that when it arrives.
Anyways, until next time, this is HackerEX logging off! See ya!
