"Kamen Rider Fourze! Let's settle this man-to-man!"

"Go, Gen-chan, go!"

"Don't let your guard down, Kisaragi. This isn't Zodiarts, and even I can't predict what it'll do! Refrain from close combat and attack at a distance!"

"Roger that! Let's go…!" Fourze replied to Yuki and Kengo.

Launcher On! Radar On!

"Locked on! ORYAAA!"

He pressed the Launcher Switch and Radar Switch, deployed the Launcher Module on his right foot and the Radar Module on his left arm, locked on to the Bugster Union and fired missiles at it.

"This is the next one!"

Chainsaw!

Chainsaw On!

Fourze set the Chainsaw Switch on the Driver, pressed it, deployed the Chainsaw Module on his right leg, and approached and attacked the Bugster Union, which was startled by the missiles.

"Still, I wonder what that orange rocket is…"

"I'm sure it's not Zodiarts, but what the…"

Yuki and Kengo muttered as they looked at the Bugster Union.

"That is a Bugster." Hiiro said to Kengo.

"What!? The Bugster that the Ministry of Health announced on a TV a few weeks ago…? But the Bugster I saw on TV wasn't like that…"

"What was presented on TV was a humanoid monster form, a Bugster, and that is a Bugster Union, its early form before it matured into the Bugster you probably know."

"I see…"

Kengo nodded as he listened to Hiiro's explanation. Meanwhile…

"Err… umm… in other words… what do you mean?"

Yuki hadn't seen the announcement a few weeks ago and wasn't following the explanation at all.

"Anyway, I was a little surprised to see a Kamen Rider I'd never seen before, but I'll do my job."

Hiiro then attached the Gamer Driver to his waist.

"A driver…? Could it be…?"

"M-maybe…"

At the same time, Kengo and Yuki muttered when they saw the Gamer Driver that Hiiro was wearing.

TADDLE QUEST!

"Skill Level 1. Henshin!"

Gashat! Let's game! Metcha game! Mutcha game! What's your name!? I'm a Kamen Rider!

"A new Kamen Rider…" Kengo muttered.

"It's Kamen Rider time…!" Yuki exclaimed when they saw him in his Brave form.

And then…

"? What's that sound coming from behind…?"

He heard an unfamiliar sound from behind him, so Fourze turned around to look.

"Huh, EEEEEEEEEEEEHHHH!? A NEW KAMEN RIDER!?"

When Fourze saw Brave, he was just as surprised as he had been when Brave first saw Fourze.

"Kamen Rider Fourze, right? Sorry to interrupt your fight, but only Level 1 can separate the patient from the Bugster, so I'll take over from here."

"That voice! You're the one who just…"

"I'm Kamen Rider Brave, I'll tell you who am I and what this Kamen Rider's powers are later, but for now, I need to remove the Bugster first, so please cover me."

"B-Bugster?"

"That rocket-like monster you see before you."

"Ooh, good! You're a Rider like me, we're supposed to help each other!" Fourze said, pointing at Brave.

"Alright, then, I'm counting on you. Commencing the Bugster removal operation."

Brave took out the Gashacon Sword and attacked the Bugster Union.

"Got it, leave it to me! Kengo! I'm going to cover him now, give me orders!"

"All right! Kisaragi! From his looks, that Brave Kamen Rider is a close-combat type, so focus on long-range attacks and defense!"

"Alright!"

Chain Array!

Chain Array On!

And with that, Fourze loaded the Chain Array switch into the Driver, deployed the module in his right arm, and turned it on.

"HYAAAAAH!"

He threw the iron ball at the Bugster Union, stunning it.

"Okay, the enemy is spooked!"

And the moment it cowered, Brave quickly stepped in and attacked it from close range. After that, Fourze and Brave continued to perform coordinated attacks, steadily inflicting damage on Bugster Union.

"Alright, it's going well somehow."

This is the first time that Brave and Fourze have fought together, and Kengo was concerned that there might be a problem with their teamwork, but as Kengo observed the scene and gave orders to Fourze, they performed well.

"You two… go for it!" Yuki cheered.

And then…

"Kengo-kun! Yuki!"

"You two!"

A short-haired girl wearing a blue uniform and a well-built boy wearing a red and black-colored jumper, who seemed to be a member of the sports club, appeared.

"Daimonji-senpai! Miu-senpai!"

"Both of you, have you evacuated the students?"

"No problem, Shun and I did it…"

"Yeah, all of them."

The short-haired girl, Miu Kazashiro, and the muscular boy, Shun Daimonji, told Yuki and Kengo.

"Kengo-san! The evacuation is complete here too!"

"Everyone…"

Two students, one a charming boy and the other a suspicious-looking girl, came to the scene.

"JK, Nozama, yeah, sorry about that." Kengo said to JK, the charming boy and Tomoko Nozama, the suspicious-looking girl.

"And what about you?" JK asked Kengo.

"No problem, but…"

"I don't know what to make of it, but it's gotten a little complicated…"

Kengo then looked towards where Fourze and Brave were fighting, and the others followed his stare.

"Oops! Huh!? Who's that Kamen Rider…?"

"I've never seen one like that before!?"

Miu and Shun exclaimed as they looked at Brave.

On the other hand…

"That Kamen Rider…"

"Huh!? You know something, Tomoko-chan?"

In response to JK's question, Tomoko nodded and showed JK the video on her pad.

"I've been seeing that Kamen Rider for the past few months, and the video is all over the internet…"

"Ah, it's true, he looks much slimmer in the video, but the design is definitely similar."

JK commented when he saw the video Tomoko showed him. By the way, it was a video of Brave fighting Salty in his Level 2 form.

Meanwhile

Brave and Fourze attacked the Bugster Union in coordination, and when it was receiving a certain amount of damage…

"It's about time… there's nothing I cannot cut… HA!"

Brave swung the Gashacon Sword with all his might at the Bugster Union, splitting it in half. When it exploded, the patient was separated from the virus.

"We've defeated the enemy!"

"Yes! They did it!"

"Not yet, the surgery is just beginning." Brave said to Yuki and Fourze, who were excited at the enemy's defeat.

Then…

"Now! We will now commence our attack on the enemy target!"

Vernier, the Bugster of Jet Combat, appeared.

"So it's Vernier… Level 2 or 3, but I'm not careless and I'm not lenient."

With that, Brave took out his Gear Dual β and turned the dial.

TADDLE FANTASY!

…Let's going king of fantasy! …Let's going king of fantasy!

"Skill Level 50."

Dual Gashat! Gachan! Dual Up! Tadoru meguru RPG! Taddle Fantasy~!

Brave set the Gear Dual β in his driver and transformed into Fantasy Gamer to finish the job.

"Ooh, a Demon King!"

"It's Demon King time…!"

Yuki and Fourze shouted when they saw the transformed Brave.

"Fourze, let's get this over with."

"Alright! Let's go!" Fourze replied to Brave, and was about to press the Rocket and Drill Switch to finish Vernier off, when it happened.

"UOOOOOOOOOOOHHHH!"

"Gah!? What!?"

Energy bullets rained down on both Brave and Fourze, who were blown away.

"Gen-chan, are you okay!?"

"Gentaro!"

"Kisaragi!"

"I'm fine, Yuki, Shun, Kengo, but who's that?"

"Attacking at a time like this… they're the only ones…" Brave said when he saw the attack coming. And there it was.

"Well, well, well, Hiiro-sensei, we've met again."

"Hello…"

"Paradox… and… who are you?"

There, Saki, or Paradox, and Jun Kazu, the expressionless man in white, stood with his Bugvisor at the ready.

"I'm Jun Kazu, one of the leaders of the Bugster faction, and I'd like to make your acquaintance, Hiiro-sensei…"

"Kazu…? No matter, what do you want…?"

"It's business as usual, sensei. I'm just here to protect my folks."

"I am here to help Sak—I mean Paradox-san with a little practice…"

Saki and Kazu answered Brave's question.

"Hmph, I knew that, but… no matter, as a precaution against infection, I'm going to cut you out right here."

"I'll help you too, Hiiro-sensei… is that okay?"

"Yeah, I don't want to get too many students involved… but I don't have a choice, so don't be reckless." Brave said.

"I like it… it makes my heart dance."

PERFECT PUZZLE!

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

"Henshin."

Dual Up! Get the glory in the chain! Perfect Puzzle!

"Now that we're both Level 50, let's have some fun, Brave." Para-DX said to Brave.

"If you're going to take on Brave I guess I'll face you."

"Bring it on! I'll be your opponent!"

Electric!

Electric On!

Fourze faced Kazu and set the Electric Switch on the driver to activate it. Then, Fourze's form changed from the white color of the previous State to gold on his left arm, right leg, and the rest of his body except for his leg, his eyes turned blue, and his torso was decorated with Raijin drum design.

"This power! Shocking as always!"

"That Switch… it looks like one of the Foundation's investment targets that I saw in the documents when I was at the Foundation…" Kazu muttered as he looked at Fourze's Astroswitches. "Oh well, fighting is more important now… Cultivate…"

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

Kazu's appearance has transformed into the Utopia Bugster, a gold-colored monster armed with a cane.

"Now, let's see what you've got…"

"Yeah! Kamen Rider Fourze, let's settle this man-to-man!" Fourze declared, as he had just done, and went to confront Utopia.

Goddess here.

My favorite phrase is "Hiiro Kagami!? Why is he in DxD World!?"

I wonder if Graphite is so keen on getting more Bugster allies due to his fellow commanders apart from Saki are a bunch of freaks.
