"OOH! More new Kamen Riders are coming!"

When he saw the newly appeared Cronus, Zangetsu Shin, and Duke, Fourze couldn't help but exclaim, even though he was in the middle of a fight.

"All right… let's get started."

"Stay back, Asuna-san, I'll take care of the rest."

"Hm, I'll help you, Takatora."

The three of them then stood in front of Genm and the others.

"Masamune Zaizen… and the Yggdrasill Riders are here too…"

"Hehehe… this is getting more and more interesting."

As a greeting, Redyue fired an energy bullet at Zangetsu Shin and Duke, leading to a retaliation. However…

"That's not going to work!"

"I agree!"

Zangetsu Shin and Duke avoided the attacks that they could avoid, and when they can't they shot energy arrows from their Sonic Arrows to shoot down the attacks, and then tried to close the distance towards Redyue.

"Nice try… how about this?"

Next, Redyue summoned a large number of tendrils to attack them.

Lemon Energy Squash!

"HAAAAH!"

The two immediately unleashed a slash from their weapons, destroying the tendrils.

"Now, Takatora!"

"Thanks, Ryoma!"

Lock On!

Zangetsu Shin set the Energy Lockseed into the Sonic Arrow and pulled the nock as far as he could. Then he aimed it at Redyue.

"Take this!"

Melon Energy!

"GHAA! AAAAAH!"

He fired a high-powered energy arrow at Redyue, who immediately conjured a barrier to block it. However, the barrier was destroyed and the attack hit Redyue directly.

"Hehehehe… not bad…" But Redyue, who quickly regained her bearings, chuckled in amusement.

"Alright, we're going to fold in one fell swoop!"

"All right."

They both charged at Redyue and slashed at her with Sonic Arrows. While avoiding their attacks, Redyue muttered inwardly.

'These two are a lot stronger than expected… or maybe I got rusty…?'

What Redyue is best at is scheming, using her superior intelligence to outsmart her opponents, and it is through this scheming that Redyue once survived to the end in the world of Femushinmu before she died and become a Bugster. But even so, Redyue is strong, having won the fiercest battles between Overlords, but now her enemies are Takatora Kureshima (Zangetsu Shin) and Ryoma Sengoku (Duke), two of the strongest Armored Riders facing her at the same time.

Meanwhile

"You've come to the right place, President!"

"Sorry to keep you waiting, but we're going to do this together now."

"Yeah, now we're revving it up!"

"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! You're wasting your time! Don't think you can beat me!"

Genm took the Gashacon Breaker and tried to attack Cronus.

"Your zombie powers are indeed troublesome… however!"

PAUSE

Masamune activated the Pause and stopped time in the Game Area.

Kimewaza! CRITICAL CREWS-AID!

As the clock ticked down, Cronus' spinning kick exploded on Genm.

Shuen no Ichigeki!

"I've still got business with you… so I'm capturing you today!"

RESTART

"AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!"

And the moment he resumed time, Genm was blown away in an explosion.

"Ugh… damn you… to weaken me by subjecting me to a barely-there damage that won't kill me…"

"Hn, it's time to pay your dues, Genm… you're coming with me." Cronus said.

"Hmph, how about no!"

He then fired energy bullets at the entire area, blinding the Riders. And when the smoke cleared, there was no sign of Genm.

"Missed it…"

"I guess I failed again…"

Cronus and Lazer Turbo mumbled to each other.

Meanwhile

"Huh…? Genm's gone…? Then I should go home too…"

"Wait! Stop right there!"

After confirming that Genm had escaped, Gremlin quit the fight and left the scene.

"I guess it's time… that was fun… let's have a fight another time…"

"She's gone…"

Redyue followed suit and left the scene.

However, the battle was not over yet. Because…

"RAAAARGH!"

The most important thing, Dragon Zodiarts, have not yet been taken care of.

"Ugh! We have to do something…" Fourze muttered as he looked at the berserk Dragon Zodiarts.

"Hello, it seems you're having a hard time…"

"Ooh, you're…"

"Who am I is hardly important right now. You look like you're struggling, let me give you some help."

Lemon Energy Squash!

Duke pressed the lever on the Genesis Driver, and then five Dukes appeared around the Dragon Zodiarts.

"UWOOAH! What the heck is that!?"

"There are more yellow Kamen Riders!"

Fourze and Yuki exclaimed at the sight.

"No, those are holograms…"

"Oho, your analysis is pretty good."

Kengo seems to be able to realize that those are holograms, earning a praise from Duke. Dragon Zodiarts attacked the hologram Dukes that appeared, while the real Duke took advantage of the opportunity to aim his Sonic Arrow at him and slowly pulled the nock, and when he had pulled far enough, he released it. The sonic arrow's reach extended as the Lemon Energy Lockseed's announcement sounded, accumulating many times more energy than normal, and when Duke released it, a powerful arrow was fired.

"AAAAGH!"

It pierced through the Dragon Zodiarts' armor.

"Ryoma, that's…"

"Heh, it's a privilege to be the developer, Takatora, but you should see this." Duke said to Zangetsu Shin, and then turned to Fourze and pointed to the Zodiarts' torso.

"That's…"

"A crack… Kisaragi! It's a crack on his armor! Now's your chance!"

"Yossha! Err…"

"Ryoma Sengoku."

"Thanks a lot, Ryoma. Let's get this over with!"

Rocket On! Drill On!

Fourze removed the Fire Switch and set the Rocket Switch in its place, activated it along with the Drill Switch, and pressed the lever on the driver.

Rocket

Drill

Limit Break!

"RIDER ROCKET DRILL KIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK!"

And then he launched his finisher right on the cracks on the Dragon Zodiarts' armor.

"GUAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

The Dragon Zodiarts exploded with a scream, and only the Switch remained.

"Yosh." Fourze picked up the Switch and quickly turned it off.

"W-where am I…?"

"Souichi! Thank God…"

As Souichi's soul returned to his human body, Sawa hugged him when he woke up.

"It's all over now, isn't it, Gen-chan?"

"Yeah, but I had a lot of trouble this time… haah, I need to get stronger…"

"You're right… from now on I need to increase the pace of my Switch rollouts."

Yuki, Gentaro, and Kengo muttered to themselves as they reflected on the battle.

Meanwhile

"Good work, Prodigy…"

"Yeah, I'm really tired…"

"Oi, take it easy."

Kiriya moved to support Hiiro, who was about to collapse the moment he untransformed.

"I'm sorry, everyone, I wish I could have been here sooner, but…"

"It can't be helped, you're a busy man…"

"Thank you for your understanding, and Poppy."

"Yes, President?"

"Heh, you did a good job in your first battle today." Masamune said.

"Alright, I guess we'll take our leave."

"We'll leave you to it."

Ryoma and Takatora went back to their headquarters in Zawame City.

Meanwhile

"It seems she didn't press the switch…"

"…Yes."

"But it doesn't matter… we are able to get data on the other Riders this time, Scorpion."

"Yes, sir."

Scorpion left the scene. And before he left, Libra turned to Fourze and the others.

"Damn… if only I hadn't lost the Eyes of Laplace…" He muttered.

The next day

Seito University Hospital

"Yo! Hiiro-sensei!"

"Hello."

"What do you want, Delinquent and Space Student?" Hiiro asked Gentaro and Yuki, who had suddenly arrived.

"We're here to see Souichi, of course!"

"Hn, he's in Room 405, and I'm pretty sure his girlfriend is with him."

"Ooh, thank you, sensei."

After that, Gentaro tried to the room where Hiiro had mentioned.

"Ah! Hiiro-sensei! I haven't given up on becoming buddies with you yet!" Turning around, Gentaro called out to Hiiro.

"Psh, no thank you." Hiiro retorted.

At the same time

When Sawa came to the roof of the hospital, she took out a Zodiarts Switch from her bag, and after staring at it for a while, she threw it off the roof.

"Huft, this will do… alright, let's go back to Souichi's room."

Sawa left the rooftop.

However, no one knew at the time that this discarded Switch would be the key to a new turn of events, and that two days later CR and the Riders would be faced with a new ordeal.
