Instead of hopping to the World of Shocker, Bella returned to a more familiar place. The cabin in the woods where Travis had healed her wounds from the bat monster that attacked them on the beach. She had arrived at the hot spring and began removing her clothes until she was fully naked and walked into the water. She submerged her entire body into the hot spring and began twitching as the hot liquid began healing her wounds. She kept herself submerged as thoughts of her killing the other Riders began racing her mind. Thoughts of her world dying and Travis holding her in his arms as they left began attacking her mind like she was having a nightmare. The screams of people dying that she didn't hear before, began ringing in her ears that it was unbearable. Then she heard a familiar voice.
"Stop fighting what you were born for my daughter."
The voice sounded like Apollo Geist as Bella snapped her eyes open in the hot springs and quickly emerged her head out of the water.
"WHERE ARE YOU APOLLO?!" She screamed as she looked around. But there was no one around.
Bella grabbed her forehead and noticed she was burning up a bit.
"Was I just delirious from the heat? I don't remember ever hearing Apollo say those words to me." Bella said as she walked out of the hot spring and grabbed her clothes. She put on her damaged clothes and made her way to the cabin. She was hoping to see the lights on, hoping to see Travis there, but that wasn't the case. The lights were off and as Bella opened the door it looked like the place had been abandoned for months. Bella could tell because the blankets on the bed were left in wads like she had it when she was going through her depression of losing her world.
She stood in the middle of the room as she clenched her chest.
"I know I'm doing the right thing. I'm going against the evil that took everything from me. But when I step into this cabin…I feel differently." Bella then turned on the lights and sat on the couch and placed all her Rider Cards down on the wooden table in front of her. She laid out all her own personal Rider Cards followed by the Rider's she's killed, and the negative image cards of the other 6 she needs.
"Kamen Rider Faiz is next. He'll be facing my Kamen Rider Wizard form. Should be easy since I'll have access to magic. Unless that other me decides to make things more difficult." Bella thought.
An image of her other self, Erica, flashed in her mind. A creepy and sinister feeling ran down her spine as she began to wonder what kind of evil she's unleashed.
"She knows something about my entire ordeal. This journey I'm on. When I run into her next, I'm going to expose everything I need to know." Bella said as she scooped up the cards, turned out the lights, and made her way back Shocker HQ.
Erica was wearing a dark pink robe with a hoodie that had a black stripe down the middle. She had a white plain t shirt underneath and black gym shorts with the words "DARK" written on the sides in white. She was sitting on a desk kicking her legs back and forth while snickering.
"Tobias is what you're calling yourself? I'm guessing your Travis's dark half just like I am Bella's." Erica said with a smile.
"No, I'm a clone of Travis. You could say I'm his little brother since we share the same DNA." Tobias replied.
"What's with the gloomy emo get up?" Erica asked.
"This feels comfortable to me. Bright colors don't look good on someone who is willing to murder hundreds of people." Tobias replied with a sigh.
"What's with the sigh?" Erica asked.
"You're pretty talkative you know that?"
"Well, you did make me a bit happy in that bed. Speaking being talkative, don't you think it's time we told our precious little guinea pig the truth? Tell her that the real Travis is alive and how she's being manipulated into gathering the powers of the Riders for your true goals?" Erica asked as she wrapped her arms around Tobias's waist.
"I'd rather wait a bit longer. She still has some use to me. Which probably means you should go get the next Kamen Rider ready for her to fight. She may be easy to manipulate, but she's starting to put the pieces together. She's been left to her own devices and I don't trust that the earrings I gave her will fully keep her manipulated to my will for much longer." Tobias said as he shrugged off Erica from clinging to him.
"What if she discovers the whole truth that she is being deceived? What do we do then?" Erica asked.
"If the dog bites back against its master, we kill her. Whatever Riders we have left to remove we'll take down together. The NeoDecadriver isn't DNA bonded to Bella. Anyone can wear it." Tobias said as he made his way to the door.
"So why not just remove her from the picture entirely? Why keep her around?" Erica wondered.
"Bella is not just some random girl from a different world. She's the daughter of Apollo Geist, before he became the next Great Leader of Shocker. He created the NeoDecadriver and was going to bestow it to his daughter when she was older. That Driver is the rightful heirloom to her and was meant to bring down Shocker, but now it's going to help us."
Tobias left the room as Erica licked her pink sparkled fingernails.
"Things are really interesting. Tobias may not want me to expose everything to Bella, but I think the guinea pig deserves some bread crumbs of what is really going on. No mistakes will be made but I will absorb all the power of the NeoDecadriver into my Ridewatch and become even more powerful. I just need Bella to kill the other six Riders. The power of 19 Riders into my very own power will make me almost godlike. Well, I guess it's time to go get started on helping Bella continue this journey she's on."
Erica had black chains wrap around her body as a portal opened up under her feet and she faded through it with a wicked smile on her face.
Bella appeared back at Shocker's Base as she ran into Travis.
"Hey babe. Everything alright?"
Travis's angry expression quickly faded away.
"It's nothing. I see you were successful in killing Ryuki?" He asked.
Bella pulled out the Base Form of Ryuki and Final Form of Ryuki.
"Good the next world for you is Faiz. Travis stated.
"Okay." Bella turned around and before she began to head out she faced Travis again. "Do you think maybe sometime soon we can take a break and go enjoy ourselves? We've been at this for a few months and I think we both deserve a break."
"I got my own things to do, I don't have the time to relax right now. Everything will go well as long as you keep your head in the game. You can relax once you're mission is over." Travis said as he summoned out a portal in front of him and traveled through it. As the portal closed, Bella leaned herself up against a wall as she was feeling her heart being heavy.
"This isn't like you Travis. You were never like this. Just how much of this power of Shocker you got from killing Apollo Geist has taken you away?" She said as a tear ran down her face.
From down the hallway, Erica was watching Bella shiver.
"Heh. you really do hate her, don't you?" Erica said as she walked away.
Bella pulled out Faiz's Rider Card, "I'm scared. But I do need to do this. One by one they will all die. I'm sure I'll figure it out. I gotta find a way to not let this overwhelm me, I don't want this hanging over my head just like Travis did when he finally fought Apollo Geist." She then opened up a portal and moved through it as she went to fight Kamen Rider Faiz.
Bella warped in the middle of a forest and as she looked around, she saw there was some damages done the trees and the ground. She bent down and saw weird animal footprints, or at least she thought they were animals.
"What the heck are these?"
She looked up to see the trail led to a nearby town, "Looks like I'm not the only thing here to kill." She then summoned her warp portal and pulled out a motorcycle that had white sides and a black underbody. On the front was black lines with magenta colored at the tops. There were white mirrors on each side of the bike with orange covers and the magenta design on the front, mirrored at the back of the bike.
"Travis gave this to me; I might as well try and use it. If there's an enemy going into town then that'll make this fight even easier." Bella said as she put her belt on, grabbed the helmet on the side, and turned on the bike and revved the engine as she took off in great speed leading into the town.
Getting to the town on her bike didn't take very long, but once Bella got there the town was in chaos as groups of monsters were attacking. Bella quickly stopped the bike as she looked at the destruction. Buildings were on fire, bodies lying across the streets, people trapped in cars that were damaged, and a single monster that was all grey but looked like a massive ox.
The grey and white monster had horns that arched around both sides of his head about a foot above and had bulging shoulder armor as well as massive fists. There was an animal insignia on his stomach and dawned armor around his waist down to his kneecaps.
This mighty creature picked up a white minivan and chucked it into a building and Bella was having flashes of her home being destroyed. She got off her bike and pulled out her Rider Card and as she touched her belt to open it, she stopped.
"What am I doing? This world will be erased when I destroy Faiz. If anything, this will be a great distraction to lure him out. While he's busy fighting this creature, I can get in the kill and not have to worry about the fight dragging out." She thought as she removed her hand and watched as the chaos continued. She was hearing people screaming and crying and the more of the carnage waged on, the more she was feeling uncomfortable. "Where is Faiz? He should be here by now." Bella was looking all around for the supposed Kamen Rider but could not find him anywhere.
Bella then saw a little girl hovered over two dead bodies screaming and crying while hugging the head of what supposedly was her mother. She was covered in blood and her crying caught the ox's attention who began to slowly move towards her. The ox was now hovered over the girl who slowly turned around and began screaming as the creature raised both his fists over his head ready to pummel the child into the ground. Bella then quickly dashed into action.
"Like HELL I'll let you hurt her!"
"Kamen Ride: D-D-Decade"
Bella pulled out her Ridebooker and shot at the horns to get the creatures attention before she put her gun into sword mode and slid an Attack Ride Card into her belt.
"Attack Ride: Slash!"
She brought her blade around to her left side and did a vertical slash attack while her blade was leaving after images of itself in every second of the slash. The ox lowered its arms and went to do an uppercut and in midair Bella had to change her battle position to dodge the attack. She lifted her legs and was in a crunch position and angled her sword up more as she slashed through both his horns and used her feet to kick across his cheek. She landed some feet behind the girl and tried to do a perfect landing but ended up sliding on her side. She quickly hurried up and slashed at the creature in his back, but it didn't do much damage as she thought it would. Sparks came off it's back and the creature quickly turn around and back fisted Bella across the battlefield as she was slammed into a bus at such force, she bent the vehicle. Everything was spinning around her as well as experiencing back pain. She quickly got back to standing while trying to shake off her pain and sluggish view. She heard a painful cry and the noise around her faded away as she watched as the giant hands of the ox monster were covering any exit the girl had.
"DON'T DO IT!" Bella called out but it was meaningless as the hands clapped together and blood shot out from the top covering the creature's hands as it began laughing. An image of a man appeared on the road as he began laughing.
"Everything is going as planned! Let's see that wolf try to save this town from my rage! Now what should I do with you? I've never seen you before." He said leering down at Bella.
Bella had what felt like an immense weight of despair thrown on her shoulders. She was in shock to what she had witnessed.
"She was…She was just…A little girl…" Bella muttered.
"Yeah, and what of it? Human lives mean nothing to me. I will revive all as Orphonochs and help create a new world of superior beings. Haven't you ever seen an Orphonoch before?" The man asked.
"I'm going to kill you." Bella said with anger as she opened a portal and ran through it. She reappeared out behind the creature.
"Attack Ride: Slash"
Bella raised her sword high and slashed down as the Ox Orphonoch was sent flying into a wall. He got up off the ground wiping his jaw. "You're not like the other Kamen Riders in this town. Granted the only ones left is that mangy wolf running around."
"That's because I don't belong in this world. I came here to destroy Faiz."
"Well that makes two of us. We both share a common goal and with that massive strength of yours, we can take him down together!"
"Imma have to greatly decline." Bella then pulled out another card and slid it into her belt.
"Attack Ride: Illusion"
Three copies of herself appeared with their swords and began to rush towards the Ox. Bella looked down at the child as her three clones were engaged in battle with. The crushed in face and body was something out of a horror movie.
Bella pulled out one more card, "I'm sorry your death had to be that fearsome."
"Final Attack Ride: D-D-Decade"
Yellow laser like images of her Attack Ride Card formed in front of Bella and as she jumped, they formed a path down towards the Ox Orphonoch. She came soaring through them and her foot collided with the Ox in his forehead and an explosion erupted. Once the smoke cleared, Bella pulled out her Rider Card and reverted back to her human form and she stared down at the corpses lying all over the street.
"Was this what my world experienced in its final moments?" She wondered.
Suddenly, a car door was thrown at her and Bella summoned out a portal to take the attack. She closed the portal as she slowly turned around and saw a wolf like Orphonoch turn into a man with short messy black hair, brown skin, wearing a long sleeve white shirt that was damaged and ripped cargo pants. He had scratches and bruises all over his face.
"Where's Kaixa!? What have you done to my town, you demon!?" The man yelled at her.
Bella pulled out her belt and put back on her waist.
"Kamen Rider Faiz. In just a few moments what's happened here will be of none of your concern." Bella said with a depressed tone in her voice.
"Henshin." She said while pulling out a different Rider Card. This one had a red gemstone helmet and silver lines on the mask.
"Kamen Ride: W-W-Wizard. Hii-Hii-Hii!"
A red spell circle appeared behind her and began to phase through her revealing a black caped mage with a red gemstone chest armor, mask, knee guards and shoes appeared. Her Rider Form had silver lining around the helmet and a silver fin on the forehead. She had red braces around her wrist and the cape that covered around her legs had a bright red interior.
Faiz pulled out a silver brief case and quickly put his Rider Belt together before pulling out a grey phone and flipped it open.
"If that's how you want it to be then so be it. I'll kill you!"
He pressed the buttons 555 and then enter as he closed the phone.
"Standing by."
The phone said as he lifted the phone up in the air upside down and slid it into the middle of the grey belt holder and the slid the phone sideways.
Red energy lines formed around his body and a black suit appeared over his body with grey armor. Around the separate armor parts were the red lines. On his belt there was a gun barrel in its holster and on the other side was a weapon that looked like it could be used as a brass knuckle. Faiz had the armor around his feet and kneecaps with the red lines running through them and on his left leg was a holder of some sort. On his hands that were covered in black, he had grey finger bits. His helmet was round like an oval with big yellow and orange eyes and an antenna shaped in a small V above his forehead. He had an insect like grey insect mouthpiece to complete the helmet with the red line running over the back part of the helmet.
Faiz quickly pulled out his phone and pressed a few buttons.
"Blaster Mode"
His phone said as he bent the screen towards Bella and fired off a few shots. Bella raised her right hand up into the air as a red spell circle appeared and the bullets exploding when they collided with it.
"Magic is wonderful is it not?" Bella said as she summoned out her portal to cross worlds and a body of water came splashing onto the ground before she closed it.
"I don't know what tricks your up to, but you will give me the answers I want! You won't run away from me again!" Faiz said as a weird motorcycle showed up and Faiz pulled out the left handle and a red blade appeared.
Bella weaved her arms around, "I never met you until now." She said as the water began to move freely to the motion of her arms. They began expanding and forming two streams that began to crash into Faiz.
Faiz quickly pulled out a chip from his already placed back phone and slid it onto the handle of his sword. He then opened his phone up and pressed the "Enter" button as the line leading up to his hand holding the sword lit up.
"Exceed Charge."
His phone once spoke again as the red blade turned bright. Faiz did a rising cut as energy like waves began making their way to Bella. The streams of water hit Faiz shoving him back, but Bella couldn't dodge his attack as the red waves struck her and paralyzed her.
"Shit! I messed up!" Bella was cursing herself as Faiz quickly recovered from Bella's attack.
"Stay right there. I'll make this be over quickly. In less than 10 seconds." He said as he pulled out an acute triangular shaped watch and put it on his wrist. The black watch with red sides and small square button. He pulled out a chip from the watch and swapped it with the front of his phone.
"Complete"
An activation noise formed as his grey armored chest plate blew out steam and opened sideways to show wiring and other forms of tech hidden underneath it. His phone began growing bright red and soon all the lines on his suit changed to grey as he reached out and touched the red button on his watch.
"Start Up."
"He went into his Axel Form and I can't move!?" Bella was trying her best to figure out a way to save herself and as soon as Faiz took a step forward, he vanished from Bella's eyesight.
Bella quickly felt something that was like moving through her body and then she saw a red spiral form through her as Faiz appeared behind her.
"Don't worry you aren't going to die from that. But I highly doubt you'll be fighting for a little bit."
"Three…Two…One… Time Out."
Faiz then returned back to his base form as Bella felt the full force of Faiz's attack and she was blown into the building behind her. She smashed through the walls and was sliding across the floor until she hit up against a table. She reverted back to her human form and her body was in immense pain.
Faiz came walking into the building with his blaster pointed directly at her in case she tried anything funny and as Bella tried to get back up to fight, her body was worn out and she collapsed on the floor.
