AN: It's here folks! Chapter 2 of Fuge. I'm really excited to get this one out, especially since this one gives a bit more backstory and features an appearance by the man himself Yusuke Godai. I will say not every chapter will feature a legend rider, but I'll try to have every chapter be a tribute to a season of sorts while also being it's own thing. Also, I may have put a reference to my other story Kamen Rider Mythos is in here, see if you can find it. Anyway see ya next time.

Kamen Rider Fuge

Class 2: Sensei

25 Years Ago

Panic was beginning to set in, the sounds of papers being thrown and the sound of a crying child could be heard as two people were quickly running around a lab, seemingly trying to gather what they could and destroy the rest.

The woman placed something into a briefcase and turned to her partner, "Takumi do you think we're doing the right thing? I mean we don't know what Genesis will do to us for fleeing." The man frowned and took a flashdrive from a computer, "We need to do this Ami, we thought we were joining Genesis to bring about a scientific revolution, to bring peace and prosperity through the next great scientific breakthrough. But it turns out we were just being used to rule the world.

What we did to Takuya…. We owe it to him to give him a normal life." Ami nodded as she walked over and picked up a 2 year old child, no doubt crying from all the commotion his parents were causing, "Come on Takuya it's time to go. Everything is going to be ok I promise."

She smiled at the child who stopped crying as they began to walk out of the lab, leaving a bonfire caused by burnt papers as they left. They only managed to get halfway out of the base however before robotic creatures appeared behind them, shooting at them causing an explosion behind them and causing Takumi to drop the briefcase he was holding.

Ami turned around seeing the injured Takumi and frowned, she handed him Takuya and kissed both of their foreheads, "Take Takuya and run, I'll distract them." Takumi wanted to protest but no words came out as she placed both Takuya and the briefcase in his arms as she ran towards the robots.

Reluctantly Takumi began to run, Takuya turning around to watch as his mother was shot by the robots, "MOMMY!" He could barely understand what was happening as they ran out of the base, Genesis didn't pursue them that night, but unfortunately it came at a cost for both husband and son.

Present Day

Takuya Ishida stood in the middle of his apartment, after the day's events he was torn. Genesis was back and stronger than ever but so was Fuge. The problem was two of his students now knew of his identity and he would no doubt be on the receiving end of their curiosity tomorrow.

He didn't want them involved, he didn't want anyone involved really. Genesis was his responsibility, it had been since he was 17 years old, even earlier than that honestly. They had become his problem ever since they killed his mother 25 years ago.

They were like cockroaches, coming back from the brink of death after he thought he'd taken care of them. He sighed and looked at his phone, looking at the latest text he'd received, "How was the first week of school?"

He frowned and threw his phone down, he thought about responding, and asking his own teacher for advice but he shook that idea out his head. If he told him what was going on he would no doubt try to get involved, no he'd keep going about it alone, just as he'd planned to all along.

Fuge Opening

Sangenshoku by PELICAN FANCLUB

A guitar riff begins as we open on a dark classroom, a figure enters in a hurry, as the figure puts down his belongings and gets things out from his desk, logos from various Kamen Rider seasons appear on the chalkboard before the figure turns and writes on the board Kamen Rider Fuge, the logo gets bigger as the screen cuts to the next scene.

The Monday morning school bell rang as Hiyori and Koji walked through the halls, on their way towards Sensei Ishida's science class. Hiyori let out an annoyed groan, "I searched all day yesterday, practically searched the entire internet and even went to the library and I couldn't find one thing on Fuge or Kamen Rider Fuge."

Koji shrugged at her, "Well did you find anything on Ishida Sensei?" Hiyori shook her head, "No, well nothing unusual anyway. Just how much of a genius he is and how he's the youngest person to ever get a doctorate."

As she stopped Koji put a hand on her shoulder, "You know I think maybe this could be a sign." Hiyori raised an eyebrow at him, "A sign for what?" Koji sighed, "That maybe we should do what he said and forget what we saw. After all, it's not a good thing when I'm being the rational one here."

Hiyori frowned and started walking again, "Look I know I'm being stupid but my curiousity is getting the better of me here, I want to know what's going on." Koji said nothing as he followed her, really hoping she wouldn't bring it up in class.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The lunch bell rang and slowly students got up to go to lunch. It had been a normal lesson, Sensei Ishida taught them some stuff about the periodic table and mixing elements and he completely acted like Koji and she didn't see him transform into a Kamen Rider just a day prior.

As she still sat at her desk Sensei Ishida approached Koji, "Mr. Kawakami, are you free after school today so we can begin your tutoring?" Koji nodded, "I have soccer practice first but after that I can meet you for tutoring if that's alright with you, I was really confused about what you talked about today."

As she listened to them talk she grew annoyed as she shot up from her desk, "How can you act like nothing happened this weekend Ishida Sensei?" Sensei Ishida stared blankly at her, "Because nothing happened this weekend Hiyori. You and Koji did whatever it is you two do on weekends and I was working in my lab all weekend.

Nothing out of the ordinary, now please stop causing a commotion in my classroom." She was shocked at how stern his tone was but she decided to continue anyway, "Ishida Sensei you can't expect us to just forget that Koji got kidnapped by some evil organization and that you transformed into a Kamen Rider."

Sensei Ishida glared at her as she felt a chill down her spine, "I told you to stop asking about Fuge, now give it a rest before I give you detention."

She said nothing as he grabbed his bag from his desk and left the classroom, Koji wanted to tell her that he told her so but even he could tell that now wasn't the time. He could feel the tension in the air as Hiyori silently left the classroom.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

10 Years Ago

17 Year old Takuya Ishida ran up and hugged his father as he exited the graduation ceremony. He was the youngest person to ever graduate with a doctorate and he was preparing to work with his father in his lab.

The two were going to change the world and discover the next great scientific breakthrough. His father finished hugging him as he put an arm around him, "My son has grown up to be so smart. Your mother would really be proud of you Takuya. I hope you know that."

Takuya nodded and looked down at the briefcase his father was holding in his other hand, "Maybe now that we're gonna be colleagues you can finally tell me what's in that briefcase you always carry around with you, and why you're always so secretive about your work."

His father chuckled at his curiosity, "I promise my boy I'll share everything with you, I'm so glad you convinced me to stay in one place so you can go to college. Moving around constantly isn't good for college students."

Takuya smiled as he saw a few friends near them, "Hey Dad I'm gonna go talk to them real quick before we go celebrate!" His Dad nodded and took his phone out of his pocket, "Go ahead, someone is calling me anyway so I'll meet you by the car." He walked off as Takuya went over to see his friends.

Nearly 15 minutes later Takuya said goodbye to his friends and went over to the car, his dad however wasn't there. He tried calling him but he didn't pick up as he started wandering around trying to find him. As he walked near behind the building he heard a grunt that sounded like his dad's as he ran over and much to his horror found his father lying in a pool of his blood.

Takuya ran over, quickly kneeling by his Dad's side as he shook him, "Dad! Dad! Dad, come on, wake up!" His father coughed up blood as he opened his eyes, smiling as he saw him, "Hey kiddo sorry I wasn't in the car." Takuya felt tears in his eyes as he gripped his fathers hand, "Dad who did this to you?"

His Dad said nothing as he gripped the briefcase still next to him, "I don't have much time, here is everything you need to know. Takuya I need to understand, I wasn't always the best person, but I really did want to change the world. Now I know you can, it's just a shame that I won't be able to see the world you create."

He handed the briefcase to his son and slowly the light in his eyes went out, his hand falling to his side as he died, leaving his son shaking him, "Dad! Come on Dad please don't do this, you can't leave me alone."

Tears fell as he looked down at the briefcase, slowly opening it to find what appeared to be a belt, test tubes and a flash drive in it. He could only feel sadness and confusion as he heard other peoples voices, no doubt having heard his screaming coming to see what was going on.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Present Day

Takuya sighed as he sat in the teachers office, he had been texting Daisuke about something and he wasn't getting the best response as he took a bite of his lunch. He barely registered when someone sat down across from him, "Hey Ishida eating lunch too huh?" Takuya looked up to see the history teacher Yagami, "Hm oh hey Yagami what's up?"

Yagami smiled at him, "Well I don't suppose you want to talk about history?" Takuya shook his head, "No you'd want my younger cousin for that, he's in college studying to be a historian, always bored me to death when he talked about mythology."

Yagami chuckled softly, "Well then I guess I'll ask about something else, is it true that you're tutoring Koji Kawakami?" Takuya nodded slowly, "Yeah, his friend Hiyori convinced me to, she was really worried about him failing my class." Yagami raised an eyebrow at him, "Hiyori? Like Hiyori Fujita?"

Takuya took another bite of his lunch and nodded, "That's the one, why is that weird?" Yagami shrugged, "You're kind of new here so I know you don't know much about all the students, but I had her in middle school before I moved to the high school." Takuya frowned, "So you should know what she's like then."

Yagami took a bite of his own lunch and shook his head, "Not really, she was really quiet and antisocial when I had her, people bullied her for being a nerd, so I'm really surprised she went out of her way to convince you to tutor someone."

Takuya nearly choked on his food after hearing this, "Really? I never would've guessed considering how talkative she is in my class and always volunteering." Yamagi shrugged, "Maybe she connected with you from a mutual love of science? Who knows but you must have a gift to get her out of her shell."

Takuya sighed, he'd been so cold to his favorite student all to keep her out of danger and now knowing that she isn't always like she is in his class made him conflicted. The sound of the bell brought him out his thoughts, he couldn't think about it right now it was time for class.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Deep within the headquarters of Great Genesis a loud crash could be heard as several Genesis Troopers were thrown across the room. The Great Master breathed heavily, still connected to his life support machines, "OMEGA! You told me Fuge couldn't interfere."

Doctor Omega shuddered at his master's anger before smiling, "Relax Master, he cannot stop us, we will continue our research into resurrecting the dead and he won't be a problem." The Great Master huffed and relaxed back into his throne, "He best not or I will kill you. Now about that child you tried going after, is he a 5th?"

Doctor Omega smiled and nodded, "Oh I believe so Master, he hasn't had his DNA experimented on but he shares the same potential as the other 4, of course we won't know if he has as much potential as Takuya Ishida but all I need is to analyze him myself to find out."

The Great Master growled at hearing the name, "As long as Fuge is protecting him we won't be able to get to him." Doctor Omega nodded before holding up a test tube glowing red and yellow, "Worry not Master, I'm already hard at work raising another zombie from the dead."

The Great Master nodded, until he was more healed he would have to allow Doctor Omega to carry out his plans.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Takuya sat in his lab chair, feeling burned out from an experiment as Daisuke leaned against the wall looking at him, "So are we gonna talk about why Doctor Omega wants to kidnap one of your students or are we just ignoring the elephant in the room."

Takuya frowned and shook his head, "I have no honest idea Dai, I have a theory but confirming it would require involving him in this and I'd rather not do that." Daisuke sighed, "Let me guess, you think he's like us 4 even though according to your dad there only was 4."

Takuya looked at him, "Technically he only said there were 4 that Genesis knew of, if Koji is a 5th then his parents may have done a very good job at hiding him." Daisuke nodded, "So do we want to recruit him then? That way we at least have someone fighting with you, he can have my belt."

Takuya vigorously shook his head, "No, absolutely not, even if that wasn't off the table immediately you couldn't give him your belt since it's coded to your DNA."

Daisuke frowned and sighed, "Well I still don't feel comfortable with you doing this alone again especially if Genesis is stronger now. Maybe we should call her." Takuya shot up and immediately glared at him, "No, even more out of the question, we aren't calling her."

Daisuke laughed at his friend's reaction, "What's the matter? Did you two have a lovers quarrel?" Takuya said nothing to him, really not keen on answering the question. The last thing he needed was Daisuke making fun of his questionable relationship.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

10 Years Ago

It had been two weeks since his Dad's death, everything had been crazy, the funeral, all the people coming to see him and seeing how he was doing. His Aunt had offered to take him in but she already had two kids to raise and his Uncle had died so he didn't want to be a burden.

Besides he was 17 and a college graduate he would be fine. He hadn't taken the time to watch the flash drive his father had left with the briefcase and was now taking the time to.

As he played the video that was on it, he felt himself smile as his Dad appeared on the screen, "Hello Takuya, I wanted to record this video in case anything ever happened to me. Hopefully you'll never see this video but if you are then I suppose I'm dead."

Takuya frowned as his Dad continued, "You see it all started a few years before you were born. I had discovered a mutation in DNA that your Mother thought could lead to humans with enhanced abilities, an organization claiming to want to help humanity approached us, Genesis.

Except we learned that Genesis wasn't actually looking to make humanity better, but to take over the world through scientific advancement." Takuya watched as several images flashed on the screen, research data, Genesis itself, and what seemed to be a headquarters.

His Dad's voice continued, "Eventually we knew we needed to flee but Genesis wouldn't let us go quietly, your Mother was killed in the escape and since then we've been on the run and that's why we moved around alot, so they couldn't find us."

Takuya was feeling so many emotions, his mother was gone because of this organization and now his Dad was too, "That's not all Takuya, you see when you were born we found you had this special DNA we discovered, so we did something unforgivable, we experimented on you, essentially turning you into a potential super soldier with highly enhanced physical abilities. That's not all though, your DNA makes it so it can be mixed with things, fused if you will. We had planned for you to use what was in the briefcase to one day bring about the full capabilities of your DNA, to become a hero for the world, Kamen Rider Fuge."

Takuya wanted to be angry at his Dad, he always felt like something was different about him, physical feats came easy to him, he healed faster than most and his senses were better than even highly trained fighters.

Still he couldn't blame his Dad, he wanted what was best for him, he wanted him to better the world, "I don't know if you'll forgive me Takuya, but I do ask one thing of you. If I'm dead then that means Genesis killed me, please become Fuge and stop them, not just for me, but for your mother and everyone else Genesis has hurt. There's information on how to use the Centri driver and Scitubes on this flash drive, please son stop Genesis, I love you, good bye Takuya."

Takuya sat in silence, it was so much to take in, but he couldn't ignore his Dad's dying request. He looked down at driver and Scitubes on the desk, he'd become Fuge, he'd defeat Genesis and he'd stop them from using science to destroy the world.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Present Day

Hiyori sat at the dinner table with her family, things had been quiet as she wasn't really in the mood for talking as she was still bummed out about what had happened at school.

As she picked at her dinner her father cleared his throat, getting her attention, "So Hiyori, you know that science teacher you really like?" Hiyori nodded, "Ishida Sensei? What about him?" Her father smiled at her, "Well turns out I learned today that Hiden Intelligence funds his research lab and seeing as how I handle some of the finance's within the company Presiden Hiden himself asked me to keep an eye on it."

Hiyori's face brightened upon hearing this, for once her father working at Hiden worked out in her favor, "Wait really? Do you know where the lab actually is?" Her father nodded, "I could probably get it, why? Looking to get some tutoring from your teacher?"

Hiyori nodded, "Well not just for me, but for Koji too, he's really struggling in class." Her father nodded, Hiyori smiled, if Ishida Sensei wouldn't talk to her in school in class then maybe he'd give her information in his lab.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The next day after school Hiyori waited for Koji to finish soccer practice so she could drag him to Ishida Sensei's lab. As they arrived at what seemed to be a rundown building she knocked on the metal door and waited for a few seconds before the door opened.

A green haired man in glasses and wearing a similar lab coat to Ishida Sensei looked at them, "Oh you're not the pizza guy, who are you kids?" Hiyori frowned at him, "Where's Ishida Sensei?" The man yawned and beckoned them to come in, "Not here, I'm guessing you kids are the two students who found out about him being a superhero."

They nodded as Koji looked around the lab, "My friend thought he'd actually tell us about being a Kamen Rider if we found your lab." The man nodded, "Hmmm you must be Koji Kawakami?"

Koji nodded feeling creeped out, "Uh yeah, and who are you that you know my name?" The man smiled, "Dr. Daisuke Sonoda, Takuya's best friend, lab partner and at one time Kamen Rider Combi. I know you because I heard Genesis is very interested in you and that's not good."

Hiyori glared at him, "Yeah that's what that crazy Doctor said before Ishida Sensei scared him off, now could you please tell us what's going on." Daisuke shook his head, "Sorry can't, Takuya told me you two are absolutely not allowed to be involved, though I am impressed that you found our lab it's time for you to leave."

He began to usher them out and Koji seeing how Hiyori wasn't going to back down he decided to take a gamble, "Look man I get the feeling these freaks aren't going to stop coming after me so just give us a short version so I don't have to fear for my life."

Daisuke placed a hand on his forehead and shook his head, "Takuya isn't gonna like this, but honestly you aren't wrong about them coming after you." Hiyori smiled in excitement, "So you'll tell us?" Daisuke sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose, "Against my better judgement yes, but a very abridged version cause there's things I really don't want to bring back up, now take a seat kids."

The two nodded and sat down as Daisuke walked over to a desk, he picked up a picture frame and frowned, "10 years ago your teachers Dad was murdered by an organization called Genesis, pure evil and wanting to use science to subjugate the human race, anyway turns out Takuya, myself and two others were experimented on to bring out the special abilities within our DNA. Your teacher became Kamen Rider Fuge to fight them and we joined him too, eventually we beat them, but not all of us made it out. We retired and now here we are 10 years later they're back and your teacher is becoming Fuge again. That's it end of the story."

Hiyori frowned, "That's it? Really? That's all you'll tell us." Daisuke nodded, "Look your teacher is a complicated man but he doesn't want you two involved." Hiyori shot up, "But like it or not we're involved, they saw us and they want Koji for something."

Daisuke walked over to his own desk and picked up another picture frame, his younger self posing with another green haired teen, both smiling, "Like I said kid, there's things I don't want to bring up ok? Now I suggest you two leave before your teacher gets back, he has a pretty nasty temper."

Hiyori looked at him, trying her best to give him puppy dog eyes, "Please, isn't there anything we can do to help? Ishida Sensei is going to spread himself too thin eventually, trying to do everything himself."

Daisuke sighed, "Trust me I've told him that but this isn't up to me, now get going." Hiyori said nothing as Koji got up and slowly tried to push her out, "Uh right thanks for the info Dr. Sonoda, we'll just get out of your hair now."

Koji pushed her out of the lab and shut the door, leaving Daisuke to sigh and lean against the wall, "Do you think I did the right thing…. Yamato?" He waited for a response that wasn't coming, taking out his phone he debated telling Takuya about their visit but opted against it, not wanting to get the kids in trouble.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As he continued to drag her away from the lab Hiyori eventually broke free from his grip and glared at him, "Koji don't drag me away from, why are you dead set on staying out of this?"

Koji frowned at her, "Why are you so dead set on getting involved? You have no part in this, I have more of a stake in this than you and I'm willing to do what Ishida Sensei says."

Hiyori shook her head and turned away from him, "I don't expect you to understand Koji." Koji put a hand on her shoulder and smiled, "Hiyori just talk to me, I know I'm an idiot but maybe I'll understand."

Hiyori sighed, "Look I just, Ishida Sensei is different from previous teachers I've had. Before him none of them ever cared about how quiet I was or didn't care that I was anti-social in class. But Ishida Sensei, he shared his passion for science and made me want to participate in class. He made me not feel like such a freak for liking science and learning in general. I want to help him because I feel indebted to him, I don't expect you to understand Koji and you probably think it's weird."

Koji frowned, "Hiyori you aren't a freak for liking science and learning, and I'm sorry if I ever made you feel that way. But this stuff is dangerous and Ishida Sensei wants you to stay out of it, so maybe you should listen to him."

Hiyori nodded slowly, hearing the concern in his voice, "Alright fine Koji, I'm done pursuing this. I'll just stick to him being a cool teacher, not a Kamen Rider."

She began to walk in silence, Koji not being able to help but feel like he let her down by not supporting her in her endeavor. He shook off these feelings though, he had to protect her even if it meant she was disappointed.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

10 Years Ago

Takuya hit the ground hard as he felt the Fuge suit disappear off of him as a Genesis robot slowly approached him. He wiped some blood from his lip as he struggled to get up, this is what he gets for charging into this Kamen Rider thing without knowing how to fight in the slightest.

As the robot approached him he tried to henshin again but felt no energy to do so as he collapsed, waiting for his death. He waited with his eyes closed but it never came, he heard an explosion and opened his eyes to see a red figure standing in front of him. It turned around and gave him a thumbs up, "Do you remember me Takuya? I'm Godai, a friend of your fathers."

Takuya slowly nodded, of course he remembered him, he called him Uncle Godai as a kid as he was always around having his father looking into things for him. He grew up hearing about the awesome fights of Kamen Rider Kuuga.

Kuuga unhenshined revealing a smiling Yusuke Godai, "I heard about your father and I'm sorry I couldn't be at the funeral, he had told me about developing the Fuge system for you but I'm shocked to see you actually doing it."

Takuya stood up and frowned, "Well I'm trying but I'm not exactly skilled when it comes to fighting." Yusuke smiled and walked up to him and placed a hand on his shoulder, "I had come to the city to see how you were doing, but seeing this I guess I know what I gotta do. I'm gonna train you!" Takuya was stunned as he smiled slowly, "I… I would appreciate that a lot, but please only train me, fighting Genesis is my responsibility."

Yusuke nodded, "If that's what you want you got it, I'll teach you all about how to protect people's smiles." Takuya raised an eyebrow at him, "Protecting people's smiles?"

Yusuke put an arm around him and nodded, "First lesson, that's the most important thing as a Kamen Rider, you're fighting to protect people's smiles." Takuya nodded, and thus began how Takuya learned to become a Kamen Rider.

Present Day

Takuya sat on a park bench and sighed, he didn't have any meetings after school and Daisuke weirdly told him to stay out of the lab so here he was going around town searching for Genesis. He tried going back to the place he initially found them but they had moved locations and he couldn't trace them.

His mind was still on Hiyori and Koji, he was their teacher he needed to keep them safe, he couldn't let them get involved. But Koji was going to be involved whether he liked it or not and Hiyori was so determined to get herself involved he couldn't stop her forever. As he sat down he barely noticed someone sitting down next to him, "This seat taken?"

Takuya shook his head and frowned, "Do I dare ask what you're doing here? Yusuke." Yusuke Godai leaned back on the bench and let out a breath, "Daisuke called me, said Genesis was back and you were doing that lone wolf thing again."

Takuya rolled his eyes, "I told Daisuke to not be nosy, Genesis is my problem and I don't really need help with it, besides he can't complain he's helping me with Scitube development."

Yusuke nodded and smiled, "You know I heard about that, I was surprised to hear that you managed to make new ones to fuse Riders." Takuya shrugged, "I couldn't remake the originals so I did the next best thing."

Yusuke put a hand on his shoulder, "You know I thought I taught you not to do everything by yourself."

Takuya chuckled softly, "You did but I don't exactly have the other 3 anymore, Daisuke is afraid to put the belt back on, Yamato is… gone, and Rin is off doing who knows what who knows where."

Yusuke laughed at his response, "Just because you don't have any fellow riders doesn't mean you can't have allies. 21 years ago when I became Kuuga I didn't have any other riders, I had allies though, Ichijo, Sakurako, even your Dad, all helped me when I needed it."

Takuya raised an eyebrow, "When did my Dad help you in the fight against the Grongi?" Yusuke shook his head, "Who do you think I brought the Arcle to when I needed it to be repaired after my final fight? Your Dad is the reason Kuuga is still around when others need my help."

Takuya frowned at him, "He never mentioned that, just that he met you in high school." Yusuke nodded slightly, "Listen Takuya, just because you're fighting alone doesn't mean you can't have friends.

A Rider can't protect people's smiles without accepting help from others, no matter how minor that help is." Takuya smiled at his words, "You're right, you usually are. I guess even being 10 years older now I'm still a student sometimes."

Yusuke put an arm around his shoulder, "Even a teacher needs a lesson, don't forget that ok?"

Takuya nodded, "Thank you Yusuke, for everything. Even today you're still trying to protect people's smiles, even mine."

Yusuke got off the bench and began to stretch, "There's no need for thanks, just do me a favor and use my power to keep protecting smiles, and remember Takuya, I'm only a call or text away if you ever need some more advice."

Takuya nodded and watched as his mentor departed, intent on remembering what his mentor had said about having friends.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Meanwhile downtown Koji and Hiyori walked out of the library, Koji scratching his head as they walked out, "Man my head hurts, thanks for helping me with the math homework Hiyori." Hiyori smiled softly, "It's no problem, Ishida Sensei is only helping you with science so I figured I could help you with math." Koji gave her a toothy smile, "At least I'm fine when it comes to Japanese and English."

As they walked Koji frowned as they were met by Genesis Troopers as Doctor Omega waved to them, "Hello again Mr. Koji Kawakami, would you like to come with us today? I'll even spare the girl if you come quietly."

Koji put an arm in front of Hiyori to protect her, "How about you get lost and I won't call my teacher to kick your asses again." Doctor Omega sneered at him, "You really think I fear Takuya Ishida? He'll be eliminated soon enough."

Before he could order the Genesis Troopers to attack, a black and yellow sports bike zoomed past them and stopped right in front of Koji and Hiyori.

Takuya took off his helmet and got off, "I don't know Omega, I think you're afraid of me a little bit." He looked at his students and frowned, "I apologize for being too stern with you kids, I was so focused on trying to keep you out of this I failed to realize you were involved the minute you learned about Genesis."

Hiyori smiled, "It's fine Ishida Sensei, just beat those freaks and we'll call it even." Doctor Omega took out a test tube and scowled at them, "This is so touching and all, but I'm going to kill you all now. RISE MY ZOMBIE!"

A black energy rose from the ground and engulfed the test tube and a porcupine like monster appeared, laughing along with Doctor Omega, "Did your mentor Yusuke Godai ever tell you about this one? Go-Jaraji-Da, a Grongi so sadistic it made even him snap in anger and beat him to death."

Takuya took out his driver and place it around his waist, "CENTRI DRIVER" He took out his two Scitubes and glared at the Grongi, "You can throw whatever you want at me Doctor Omega, I'm going to protect my students smiles."

He placed the two Scitubes in the Centri Driver causing it to spring to life, "CHOU HENSHIN! PROGRISE!"

Apparitions of Kuuga and Zero-One appeared as Takuya did his usual pose before bringing his hand down on the driver, "HENSHIN!"

Red and Yellow tubes enveloped him as the two apparitions of Kuuga and Zero-One broke apart becoming a part of him, "LET'S FUGEON RIDE!" The full form began to take shape as the driver announced further, "KUUGA! ZERO-ONE!"

The armor finished forming as Fuge's red eyes glowed brightly, "The only Rider who can protect smiles is… Fuge: Mighty Hopper!"

Kamen Rider Fuge dusted his hands off as he got into a fighting stance, "Now… Class is in session, so try to pay attention." He charged at the Genesis Troopers and the revived Grongi, punching several of them as Doctor Omega watched in glee, hoping they would defeat Fuge.

Fuge took out most of the Genesis Troopers with ease, kicking the last one back as Go-Jaraji-Da charged at him, the two exchanging several blows before Fuge punched him back.

Go-Jiraji-Da snickered as he held up his hand, "Let's see if you're faster than Kuuga." He snapped his fingers and began to move at super fast speeds, deciding to ignore Fuge and go after Hiyori but as he neared her with his quills he found himself stopped by Fuge who grabbed him by the hand and flung him backwards, "I'm not Kuuga, I'm Kamen Rider Fuge."

He began to punch Jaraji several times, as he hit several vulnerable spots, "You don't touch my student, EVER!" As he beat the Grongi more, Doctor Omega frowned, "This seems familiar, time to go." He comedically ran away, not wishing to be on the end of Fuge's beat down after he was done with the Grongi.

Fuge pushed Jiraji back more as he went to a fallen Genesis Trooper, picking up it's arm cannon causing his red armor to become green and changing the hand cannon to a weapon resembling the Authorise Buster, "It's time to finish you."

He took the Kuuga Scitube and inserted it into the cannon, "KUUGA!, LET'S FUGEON FINISH'' Red energy began to build as he pulled the trigger, firing a massive ball of energy at Go-Jiraji-Da, "PEGASUS DUST!"

As the blast hit the Grongi it exploded in a massive blast and Fuge turned around and posed, "Class dismissed." Takuya unhenshined and walked over to his students, "So, any questions?"

They shook their heads as Koji smiled at him, "Ishida Sensei, that was so cool seeing that a second time, you're such a badass." Takuya waved off his praise as Hiyori frowned, "Ishida Sensei, I'm sorry for trying to get involved, I'll stop."

Takuya sighed and turned towards her, "Listen Hiyori, I appreciate what you're trying to do, but I don't need anyone out in the field with me, just look at how you nearly got hurt today." Hiyori nodded and bowed her head, "I understand Sensei, I apologize."

Takuya put a finger up at her, "I wasn't finished, I don't need any help out in the field, BUT! Daisuke and I could use an assistant around the lab, that is if you're willing to help." Hiyori looked up at him and smiled, "Of course however I can help."

Takuya smiled and nodded, "Right, and you Mr. Kawakami, clearly they're gonna keep coming after you so I'm gonna be keeping more of an eye on you."

Koji frowned as he heard this, he really didn't like this idea as Hiyori began to laugh at his plight. Takuya said nothing as he watched his students beginning to argue over Hiyori laughing at him.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The next day Takuya and Daisuke watched as Hiyori was sweeping the lab, both amused at her work, "For two geniuses you two sure do leave a mess. Have you even cleaned this lab at all?"

Takuya shrugged, "We're too busy running tests to really clean up." Daisuke nodded in agreement, "You know I wasn't keen on getting an assistant but if this means it'll be cleaner around here then I love this already."

Hiyori sighed, "This lab could not be any more dysfunctional if you two tried, I'm organizing everything." Koji who was sitting in a chair next to her laughing as Takuya turned to him, "What are you laughing at kid? I'm tutoring you for free so start helping her."

Koji groaned in disappointment as Takuya began to lecture him, Daisuke smiling in amusement as he took out his phone and texting someone, "Hey Rin, I don't know where you are but just a heads up since Takuya won't tell you. He's Fuge again and Genesis is back calling themselves Great Genesis."

He sent the text and continued to watch the chaos unfolding, the lab was about to become a lot more lively.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

NEXT TIME ON KAMEN RIDER FUGE!

Koji is talking to Takuya

"Hiyori got hurt because these freaks keep coming after me"

Daisuke is leaning against the wall frowning

"That kid, he reminds me of my brother"

Finally Takuya is sitting at his desk talking to Koji

"Being so willing to sacrifice yourself for your friend, reminds me of another rider, Kamen Rider Blade."
