The Riders faced their respective enemies and began to fight.

Brave vs Gremlin

"Hehehe, nice… Brave! You're so different from the last time we fought!"

"Prepare yourself, Gremlin, I'll cut you into pieces and shut your mouth."

Brave swung his Gashacon Sword at Gremlin, who quickly parried the attack with his Rapture.

"Hahaha, maybe so… but how long can you last with that body!?"

"Hmph, I'll cut you out before I fall!"

Brave then held his left hand over Gremlin's face, firing an energy bullet at close range.

"What!? WAAAAAGGH!"

Then, while he was stunned, Brave proceeded to slash at Gremlin with the Sword.

"N-not bad… but I'm not through yet!"

If it had been a normal Bugster, it would have done so much damage that it could barely stand, but Gremlin is a commander, and although the attack connected, he quickly moved fast enough to avoid Brave's attack, and then did a slash from behind, trying to hit Brave with the attack.

"I see, you used quick movements to get behind me… however!" Brave said, and used a barrier to block the attack.

"Hehehehehe… you're really strong!"

"You shut your damn mouth!"

The two glared at each other, and from that point on, their weapons clashed with each other for a while, and a close battle of sparks ensued.

Lazer Turbo vs Genm

"Hahaha… I never thought I'd have to fight you so soon… but just in time! Kiriya Kujo, you are as much of a hindrance to me as Masamune Zaizen! I'll erase you from existence!"

"Hah! You talk the talk, but let's see if you can walk the walk!"

GIRI GIRI CHAMBARA!

Lazer Turbo removed the Proto Jet Combat Gashat from his belt and activated the Proto Giri Giri Chambara and inserted it.

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

Lazer Turbo's form transformed into the Proto Chambara Bike Gamer, which was a different form of Chambara Bike Gamer.

"After all, even though it's a Proto Gashat, I'm more comfortable with Giri Giri Chambara… here we go!"

Gashacon Sparrow!

"ORYAAAAA!"

"Come at me… KIRIYA KUJOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Genm and Lazer Turbo summoned each other's weapons and attacked each other, their weapons clashing with sparks flying. After that, Lazer Turbo kicked Genm to get some distance, and then unleashed a barrage of energy bullets with the Sparrow. However, although Genm was hit by a few of the attacks, he managed to avoid most of them and closed in on Lazer Turbo.

"HAAAAAAAA!"

He jumped on Lazer Turbo and tried to swing the Gashacon Breaker on him.

ZU-PAN!

But Lazer Turbo dodged the attack and instantly changed the Gashacon Sparrow to Sickle Mode.

"WHAT!? UAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGHH!"

"Take that!"

Lazer Turbo did an X-shaped slash with the Sparrow, and hit, which stunned Genm momentarily.

Gashat! Kimewaza!

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! ORYAAAA!"

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

He unleashed his finisher on Genm at close range, which sent him flying and fell to the ground.

However…

"Uaaaaargh…"

With a black mist, Genm got up as if nothing had happened and stood in front of Lazer Turbo.

"Tsk! Damn zombie… even if it's hit, it'll get up again…"

"Hmph! It's no use! No matter how many times you defeat me! I will rise again and again… for I am… IMMORTAAAAAAAALLLLLL! WAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Bah… I'm not sure what to make of that!"

With that, Lazer Turbo attacked Genm again.

Brave and Lazer managed to fight against each other's formidable foes, while Poppy and Fourze…

Poppy vs Redyue

"Haa!"

"Fufufufu… it's no use… such attacks are useless to me…"

Redyue blocked the energy bullets fired from Poppy's Bugvisor II with a barrier.

"Ha!"

"Huh!? What!?"

Redyue used her own powers to grow the Helheim flora around them, and used the ivy as tentacles to attack Poppy. Poppy, of course, turned her Bugvisor into Chainsaw Mode and tried to defend against the ivy's attacks, but she couldn't deal with all of them as they came from all directions.

"KYAA!"

The plants restrained Poppy's movement.

"I've got her pinned down… maybe this is next…" Redyue pointed her weapon at Poppy.

A red magic circle appeared, from which a powerful reddish-black magical energy, the Power of Destruction, was unleashed at Poppy.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!"

In case you're wondering, the Destruction magic that Redyue unleashed was about three times as powerful than the one Rias used. Poppy was blown away by the attack and crashed into a pillar, sending Poppy tumbling to the ground.

"How miserable… do you think you can beat me with that kind of power? If that's the case, you're wasting your time… hey… stop wasting your time and surrender…" Redyue chided.

"…Maybe… I maybe weaker than you… but! But I'm not going to give up!"

Poppy shot an energy bullet at her.

"Feh, such futility… first of all, I've heard that you're a Bugster… so there's no reason for you to side with the humans…"

"It doesn't matter whether I'm a Bugster or human! I'm… I'm fighting for the suffering people, for everyone… Hiiro, Kiriya! I'll fight for my friends! That's all!"

Poppy then used her Bugvisor II to slash at Redyue. But Redyue was able to deflect the attack with her poleaxe.

"Hmph, foolish… for a Bugster to fight your own brethren with such human-like emotions!"

"There is nothing Bugster or human about wanting to protect one's friends!"

"Hah! Is that what Masamune has programmed you to do?"

The two of them exchanged banters as they fought.

Fourze vs Dragon Zodiarts

"Dammit! Those people! How dare they attack Sawa!"

"Stop it, Souichi! Your girlfriend won't be happy to see you like this!" He said as he stood in front of Dragon Zodiarts who were trying to take on Genm and the Bugsters.

"Shut the hell up! It's none of your business!"

"Yes, it does! You're a student of Amanogawa, aren't you!? I am the one who makes friends with all the students of Amanogawa! Gentaro Kisaragi! So you're my friend too! It's a friend's duty to stop his friend if he starts to stray from the right path!"

"Shut up! I don't remember being friends with you!"

Dragon Zodiarts then launched a large number of iron balls at Fourze.

"Kisaragi! Use Gatling and Launcher to shoot them down!"

"Understood!"

Gatling!

Gatling On!

Using the Switch and the Module, Fourze destroyed all of the incoming iron balls.

"Damn! Then-UOAAAAAAHH!" He yelled as he struck Fourze, and for some reason Fourze didn't dodge the attack but took it head on. "You don't know what you're talking about! I… I've been always been like this! Ever since I was kid, all I've ever done is let her protect me! That's… that's what I was ashamed of! That's why I'm… I'm…! I'll become strong and protect Sawa! That's why I took this Switch!" Dragon Zodiarts shouted as he punched Fourze over and over again, and finally the punch with the most power almost exploded on Fourze.

"I see… so that's what you really think!"

He grabbed the punch with his hand.

"I'm not you, so I don't know what you're really feeling, but I do know what it's like to want to protect someone."

"What…?"

"I… I'm also fighting because I want to protect Kengo, Yuki, Shun, Miku, JK, Tomoko… and everyone at the school! You're doing it wrong!"

"What do you mean!?"

"Because of what you did… Sawa, the one you want to protect the most is crying! It's not right to make the one you want to protect cry, no matter what the reason!"

Dragon Zodiarts was shocked by what he heard and staggered away from Fourze.

"Souichi! Stop it!"

"Sawa! But they're going to kill you!"

"I don't want to see you commit any more crimes or get into any more danger! Stop it… please…"

"Sawa… but I…" Dragon Zodiarts muttered.

"Souichi, I understand that you want to protect her… but if you really want to do it, don't rely on that Switch! You need to be strong and protect her, fair and square!"

"But… without the Switch… I'm nothing…"

"Confidence is the most important thing in a man's life! It's the heart! If you really want to protect her, you'll never need a Switch to make you strong!" Fourze declared to Dragon Zodiarts.

"Kisaragi…"

And when Dragon Zodiarts muttered to Fourze, that happened.

"Gha! GUHAAAAAAAAAA!"

"Huh!? H-hey! Souichi!"

"Souichi!"

An electric shock rained down on Dragon Zodiarts.

"UUUUUGGHH… AAAAAAAAHHH!"

"Souichi! What happened!? Kengo, what's going on!?"

"This is… Kisaragi, watch out! Dragon Zodiarts that is hit by something like a lightning strike earlier is starting to go out of control!"

"Say what!?"

"Hayami-sama, what did you just…" Scorpion asked Libra, who had just fired an electric shock from his antennae at the Dragon Zodiarts.

"Heh, if the Resurrection Star doesn't shine, then he has no value at all… then, although it's unlikely, he'll become a pawn to defeat Fourze… and in the process, he'll made that schoolgirl to press the Switch." Libra said coldly.

"Damn! We've got to do this!" He said, and Fourze took up a stance. "Wait for me, I'm going to save your boyfriend!"

"Really… are you sure you can save Souichi!?"

"I'm on it! I'll put a body or two to protect my friend!"

And with that, Fourze punched Dragon Zodiarts, however…

"OOOOOOOOOOWWWW!"

Fourze rubbed his hands in pain as the Dragon Zodiarts' armor was harder than expected.

"AAAAAAAAAAARRGH!"

"UWAAAAAAAAHH!"

Dragon Zodiarts punched Fourze with all its might.

"Then let's use this!"

Chainsaw!

Chainsaw On!

He deployed his Chainsaw Module and attacked again, this time in close proximity.

"Hah! Damn it! Haah! No, it's not working at all!"

He attacked while avoiding Dragon Zodiarts' attacks, but it didn't seem to be working at all.

"If direct attacks don't work, then…!"

Fire!

Fire On!

And so Fourze set the Fire Switch to the driver and transformed into the Fire States.

"I'll burn you with my massive firepower! Take this!"

The Fire Module was aimed against the Dragon Zodiarts and launched a massive burst of fireball.

"WAAAAAAARRGHH!"

"I-it's not working!"

"Kengo-kun, what should we do!? Gen-chan's attack isn't working at all!"

"His armor… this is not good… we'll have to make do… Hiiro-sensei! Please unleash a powerful attack on that Dragon Zodiarts!"

It's a shame, but Kengo decided that the current Fourze couldn't destroy the Dragon Zodiarts' armor, so he asked Brave for help.

"I can't do it! My hands are full right now!"

"Hahahahaha, don't look away from the enemy!"

Brave had his hands full with Gremlin, and the other Riders were too busy fighting their own enemies to offer any support.

"Ugh! There's… got to be a way! Think… think… think…"

But Kengo didn't give up and started to think about what he should do.

"Haah… haah… oi, what the hell is this guy…"

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I told you… I'm immortal! There's nothing you can do to defeat me now…"

No matter how many times he defeated Genm, he would always revive, and even Lazer Turbo was starting to wear out. He then looked around while avoiding Genm's attacks.

'This isn't good… they're all struggling… if this continues…' He thought.

RESTART

"UOOOOOOOOOOHHH!"

Genm in front of him was blown away suddenly.

"Sorry for the wait."

"Jeez, man… I'm so tired of waiting, President."

Cronus was standing there.

"Hahaha… I'm really sorry about that… but I've brought reinforcements as well."

"Reinforcements?" Lazer Turbo asked.

Lock On! Melon Energy!

Lock On! Lemon Energy!

"NOAAAAAAAAGH!"

"GUAAAAAAAAHH!"

Orange and yellow energy arrows were fired at Redyue and Dragon Zodiarts, hitting them both.

"We're here too!"

"Sorry we're late."

Then he looked in the direction of the energy arrows.

"President Kureshima and Professor Ryoma."

There stood Zangetsu Shin and Duke with their Sonic Arrows at the ready.

"Let's start over, Bugsters."

"We'll have to deal with them from here!"

"Whoa, there are some strange Kamen Riders here…"

The three of them said to each other.
