Seito University Hospital, CR Headquarters

After the battle, the Riders had come to the CR headquarters to recover.

"Damn! We couldn't save the patient…"

"It can't be helped, Prodigy. It's not like we could have predicted that a Level 50 Kamen Rider would show up…"

"But… where did they take the patient!?"

That's the problem, there's nothing they can do if they don't know where they took Asia.

"If you don't know where she is… let's try this." Takatora said and took out something from his suitcase.

"What is this?"

He took out ten cans of what looked like red juice, and Hiiro was curious about them. Then Takatora picked up one of them and opened the pull tab. At that moment, the can transformed into a small hawk-like robot, followed by the other cans transforming into robots as well.

"W-what the?"

"Ooh, it's kind of cute."

Nico and Poppy commented as they looked at the robots.

"Yggdrasill Corporation has developed a new combat support robot to assist the Riders, officially known as the Candroids, and this robot is a Taka Candroid that specializes in reconnaissance and target tracking."

"I see, then I will leave the search to these Candroids."

As soon as Hiiro said that, the Candroids went out of the room to conduct their investigation at Kuoh.

"Okay, well, call me when you find the patient."

"Where are you going, Examiner?"

"I'm going to Genm Corporation for a few minutes to see the president."

"Genm Corporation? President Masamune has a meeting in a few minutes. He won't be available today."

"Ah, I know. It's just something else I have to do."

Kiriya then left the room.

"Ah, I'm going to call Mai-san, so if you'll excuse me."

Mitsuzane then followed him out of CR.

"By the way, Hiiro-sensei, how's Ryoma's condition?"

"It's not life-threatening, but he has a minor sprain and a concussion."

"I see…" Takatora muttered.

"President Kureshima… I watched the fight earlier, you are very strong."

"Heh, is that so? Hiiro-sensei, I think you are skilled, too."

"No, I couldn't do anything in that battle…"

"I see… I think the key to being strong is to know yourself."

"Myself?"

"Yes, you have to know the limits of your current strength… and how to further it…" Takatora said. "If you have free time, you can come to our place and have a spar." He added.

Meanwhile

In the basement of an abandoned church on the outskirts of Kuoh…

"Now that we've safely retrieved Asia, let's begin the ritual." Raynare said, looking at Asia bound on the crucifix.

However…

"Not yet! We've got to make Aranbura perfect first! To do that, we must kill those Hyoudou and Hiraga kids first!"

"Are you kidding me!? We've got Asia back! We have to do the ritual first—"

"SILENCE!"

"What are, aah… agh…"

Genm strangled Raynare with one hand and lifted her in the air.

"I told you before, you don't have any other choice, you lesser creatures can't even produce a single Bugster, don't order me around! All you have to do is follow my orders!"

"You bastard! Let Lady Raynare go!"

"You deserve to die for insulting us fallen angels!"

Mittelt and Dohnaseek nearby summoned their light spears and tried to attack Genm. But at that moment, Genm threw Raynare away.

"If you defy me… then you will be deleted!"

And with that, he released a large amount of Bugster Viruses from his Bugvisor towards Mittelt and Dohnaseek.

"GAAAAAAAAAAHH! AAGH! It hurts! You! What the hell is this!?"

"M-my head, aaah! It hurts!"

"It's the Bugster Virus! Dohnaseek and Mittelt, or whatever your names are, for daring to defy me, the Game Master, this is your reward! Begone!"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!"

"L-Lady… Rayna—AAH!"

As Dohnaseek screamed his last breath, Mittelt muttered Raynare's name before disintegrating.

"Dohnaseek… Mittelt…"

"Do you understand now!? You fallen angels are nothing more than lowly creatures! Don't ever think you can win against us, or me, the Game Master! If you don't want to be deleted like those two, follow my orders!" Genm growled as he aimed the Bugvisor at Raynare.

"Oh my, Genm, you're really something."

"Saki, what are you doing with Graphite?"

"I don't have anything to do with this, I'm just taking a little stroll and got excited."

"Me too. I'll crush the Kamen Riders with my own hands and I'll make Aranbura perfect." Graphite tapped Aranbura lightly on the shoulder.

"The two of you seem to be in high spirits, Aranbura, how are you?"

"Hm, I know what are we doing to Issei Hyoudou and Toma Hiraga! Dispose of those two, and I will be perfect!"

"Hahahaha, that's the spirit."

Then…

"…guess we have a visitor…"

"All right, then you're in charge upstairs, and I'll—"

"W-what the—AGH!"

Genm shot and killed one of the priests nearby with an energy bullet.

Gashat!

"There are things I must do first!"

He inserted a blank Gashat on his Bugvisor and pointed it at the dead priest's body.

"Alright."

Meanwhile, Saki muttered in disinterested tone, put on a disguise and went upstairs.

A few minutes later

As she sat on the altar and waited for the enemy to come, the door of the church was slammed open. And in walked…

"Asia! The OC Lord is here to save you!"

"I'll get her back and make her my first harem!"

It was those two guys, Ryoichi and Eito.

"What, it's you two… I thought it's Brave that came, how disappointing."

"I don't know who the hell you are, but I'll crush you!"

MIGHTY ACTION X! GEKITOTSU ROBOTS!

""Henshin!""

Gashat! Gachan! Level Up! Mighty jump! Mighty kick! Mighty! Mighty Action X! A Gacha! Buttobase! Totsugeki! Gekitotsu puch! Gekitotsu Robots!

Taka! Tora! Batta! Ta-To-Ba! Tatoba! Ta-To-Ba!

"Let's see what you're made of!"

"But if you surrender, we'll spare you!"

OOO and Ex-Aid declared to Saki.

"Are you kidding me…"

KNOCK OUT FIGHTER!

…The strongest fist! Round 1! Rock and fire! …The strongest fist! Round 1! Rock and fire!

"Gashat Gear Dual!?"

"Why do you have it!?"

"Henshin."

Dual Up! Explosion Hit! Knock Out Fighter!

"You pissed me off… so don't think you're getting off scot-free!"

Speed up!

Para-DX took the speed up energy item and attacked the two of them while moving at a blinding speed.

"GAAAAAAAAHH!"

"S-strong!"

The two of them flew through the air.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHH!"

"UAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

"S-sto—AAAAAAAAAA!"

Para-DX punched them mercilessly and rapidly, and after dealing some damage, she blew them to the entrance.

Kimewaza! Dual Gashat! KNOCK OUT CRITICAL SMASH!

"HAAAAAAAA! HYAAAAA!"

""UOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!""

She threw a powerful flaming punch at the two, and as they exploded, their transformations canceled instantly.

"W-what a monster… I-I'm running away! I have no choice but to give up Asia!"

"W-wait! Don't leave me here!"

Ryoichi and Eito ran away from the abandoned church while screaming.

"Huh… what a joke…" Saki snorted as she saw them running away and untransformed.

Meanwhile

Seito University Hospital, CR Headquarters

"The Candroids have located the enemy."

"What? Where?"

"An abandoned church on the outskirts of Kuoh…"

"I see. As soon as Examiner and President Takatora's brother return…"

"Yeah, that's right."

Then…

"Brother, I'm back."

"Prodigy, I'm back."

Mitsuzane and Kiriya returned just in time.

"Examiner, we've located the enemy, and we're on our way!"

A few minutes later

Abandoned church

"We're here."

"There's no mistake." Takatora replied to Hiiro.

"But is it alright, President Takatora, that you didn't bring Professor Ryoma?"

"It's alright, he was injured back then, and Ryoma has been working hard lately, so I want to give him some time to rest."

"Hm, you're a good man. Those kinds of people are rare these days."

"Examiner, President Takatora, that's enough chitchat, let's…"

"Oh, yeah… just don't do anything rash, okay?" He said that even in this situation, as an older brother, he can't help but worry about his younger brother.

"I know, brother…"

"Then…" Hiiro said, opening the door and letting the Riders go inside.

"Hi there, I've been expecting you."

"Paradox…"

Hiiro was greeted by Paradox, the red and blue-masked Saki, whom he will never forget. And…

"I'm here too…"

"Graphite…"

"Oi, oi, this means they're serious from the start…"

Nico and Kiriya said, looking at Graphite and Saki in front of them.

"Paradox! Graphite! Where is the patient!?"

"That sister is in the basement ritual hall, leading from the altar…"

"I see, then I'm going." Hiiro said and tried to approach the altar to rescue Asia.

"Hey, don't be in such a hurry. Come play with me instead."

PERFECT PUZZLE!

…What's the next stage? …What's the next stage?

"Henshin."

DUAL UP! Get the glory in the chain! PERFECT PUZZLE!

"I told you where to go, but whether you go through is another matter! For the sake of Aranbura, we'll crush you here! Cultivate!"

Infection! Let's Game! Bad Game! Dead Game! What's your name!? The Bugster!

Saki transformed into Para-DX and Graphite into his monster form, and took up fighting stance.

"I'm afraid it's not going to be that easy to get through."

TADDLE QUEST! DRAGO KNIGHT HUNTER! Z!

"Well, that's to be expected."

BAKUSOU BIKE! GIRI GIRI CHAMBARA!

"Graphite, time to die!"

BANG BANG SHOOTING! JET COMBAT!

Hiiro, Kiriya, and Nico each activated their Gashats and set them on their Drivers.

"Skill Level 5. Henshin."

Gachan! Level Up! Taddle Quest~! A Gacha! Do-Do-Drago! Na-Na-Knight! Dra-! Dra-! Drago Knight Hunter! Z!

"Third Gear, henshin!"

Gashat! Gachan! Level Up! Bakusou Bike! A Gacha! Giri-Giri-Giri-Giri Chambara!

"Tactics Level 3."

Gashat! Gachan! Level Up! Ba-Bang-Bang! Bang-Ba-Bang! Yow! Bang Bang Shooting! A Gacha! Jet! Jet! In the sky! Jet! Jet! Jet Comba~t!

They all transformed into Brave Level 5, Lazer Level 3, and Snipe Level 3. And following that…

"Henshin."

Melon Energy!

"It's time to use this, henshin!"

Kiwi!

Takatora and Mitsuzane also unlocked their Lockseeds and put them on their belts.

Lock On! Soda! Melon Energy Arms!

Lock On! Hai! Kiwi Arms! Geki! Rin! Sei-ya, ha!

And then Takatora and Mitsuzane transformed into Zangetsu Shin and Ryugen Kiwi Arms.

"We will now commence the Bugster removal operation."

"Now we're revving it up!"

"Mission start!"

"Let's go, Mitsuzane!"

"Yes, brother!"

"Alright, let's play!"

"Come with all your might, Riders!"

And so the battle began.

The three riders fighting Para-DX were Brave, Lazer, and Zangetsu Shin.

"President Takatora! Examiner! Give me some cover! Don't give her a chance to use the energy item!"

"Alright, I'm on it!"

"Understood."

Zangetsu Shin used his Sonic Arrow and Lazer summoned his Gashacon Sparrow to attack Para-DX from a distance.

Speed up!

Brave took the energy item and jumped into Para-DX at high speed.

"Take this!"

"AAHH!"

He slashed Para-DX repeatedly with his Drago Knight Blade. Of course, Para-DX wasn't just beaten down. She tried to kick Brave, who dodged it and continued to attack whenever he saw an opening.

"Hee, that's something…"

"I've got a good surgery plan this time!"

"Hahahaha! Now that's what I'm talking about!" Para-DX cackled in amusement.

Meanwhile

Snipe and Ryugen are fighting Graphite.

"I'll do the melee, Nico-san, attack Graphite from the distance."

"I know!"

Snipe flew through the air and fired at Graphite, staggering him, while Ryugen took advantage of the confusion to approach and attack him with his Kiwi Gekirin.

"You guys are good! This is gonna be fun!"

With that said, Graphite struck at Ryugen with the Graphite Fang, but it clashed with the Kiwi Gekirin and he kicked Graphite away to gain some distance.

"Now's the chance, Nico-san!"

Hai! Kiwi Au Lait!

"Roger!"

Gashat! Kimewaza! JET CRITICAL STRIKE!

The two of them activated their finishers and unleashed them on Graphite.

Graphite, on the other hand…

"Deathblow already!? Then me too! Furious Dragon Fang!"

Graphite also unleashed his finisher, the Furious Dragon Fang, and the three collided with each other, causing a huge explosion.

"WAAAAAAHH!"

"KYAA!"

"Ugh!"

The three of them were blown away by the impact and the blast, and the explosion also hit Brave and the other riders fighting Para-DX.

"Lucky!"

Para-DX kicked Brave, who was stunned by the explosion.

"And this!"

Speed up!

Muscle up!

She picked up the energy items and struck Brave, Lazer, and Zangetsu Shin, blowing them to the church's walls.

"Ah! It's you!"

"So many Kamen Riders… and Graphite!?"

"This is! They're fighting already!?"

"They're from the last time…"

Issei and Toma, who had come to rescue Asia, and Kiba and Koneko, who had come to help them, exclaimed when they saw inside.

"Hi there, devils, you're late."

"Para-DX! Where's Asia!?" Toma demanded.

"On the ritual hall under the altar. Oh, yeah, that's right, you can go through there if you want."

"What!?"

"I'm not going to do anything, just get going." Para-DX said as she opened the way.

"I don't know what happened, but…"

"Asia! Wait for us!"

The two of them were about to head for the underground when Brave blocked their way.

"Wait! This is a trap!"

"Get out of the way!"

"Asia is right there!"

"Use your head! There's no way Para-DX will let you through so—ack!"

Para-DX kicked Brave in the middle of his speech. And while she was at it, the four of them descended the stairs leading down to the altar.

Altar

They arrived at the scene.

"Asia!"

"Welcome, devils, you're late."

The crucified Asia had Raynare by her side.

"Shit! Raynare! Release Asia!"

"Why should I, I'll have what I want soon!"

Meanwhile…

"W-where am I…"

"Ah! Asia!"

"Issei…" Asia woke up and muttered.

"Asia! Wait for me! We'll help you!"

"Raynare! Prepare yourselves!"

Both Issei and Toma shouted.

"Issei! Toma! Don't come here!"

"Asia?"

"Why on earth…"

"It's a trap! Run away, now!"

And when Asia screamed, it happened.

"BIND!"

"W-what!? Uwaah!"

Aranbura and Genm appeared, and Aranbura used magic to restrain Raynare.

"We've been expecting you, Issei Hyoudou! Toma Hiraga! I'll finish you with my magic! And when this girl disintegrates under her stress, I will become complete!"

"D-disintegrate…?"

"No way…"

"Oh, no…"

"How dare you!?"

They said when they heard Aranbura's words.

"Wait a minute! That's not what you promised! My plan! You said you're helping me with my plan to seize Asia's Sacred Gear!"

"Did you think that I would keep my word to a lesser being, fallen angel!? What an idiot! WAHAHAHAHAHAHA…!"

"No way…"

At this point, Raynare finally realized that she had been completely deceived.

"Now, Issei Hyoudou, Toma Hiraga! And the other two devils, I'll delete you now… but have the honor of dying! You will be the first ones to be destroyed by my new power…!"

With that, Genm took out a blank Gashat and activated it.

DANGEROUS ZOMBIE!

"Grade X-0, henshin!"

Gashat! Gachan! Level Up! Mighty jump! Mighty kick! Migh~ty Actio~n X! A Gacha! Danger! Danger! Death the crisis! Dangerous Zombie!

"AARGH… RAAAAARGH!"

Then, with the announcement, Genm broke the panel that appeared and transformed into Zombie Action Gamer Level X-0.

"What the heck is that form!?"

"That's… Dangerous Zombie…"

Issei and Toma gasped at the sight.

"Issei! Toma! Run!"

"Too late! The one who will delete your lives is none other than… MYSELF! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

STAGE SELECT!
