2 figures ran at each other, one yellow with silver and red accents, the armor glowing green with magenta accents in the dark, the other blue with red lines that glowed magenta in the dark.
The 2 of them punched at each other…
And The one in blue and red was immediately overwhelmed, getting hit all over before being sent into a wall.
"Wha...but...how!?" The man, known as Kamen Rider Eden, growled.
"Well, you're weaker than Metal Cluster, so...dunno how you thought you'd stand a chance against Zero Two." The other man, Kamen Rider Zero One (in his final form, Zero Two) said, shrugging. "This is...kind of on you, honestly."
"But wasn't that only designed to defeat the Ark?"
"I will never understand how people get that impression..." Aruto said, rubbing his head. "It has greater prediction abilities than the Ark, a supercomputer who's pretty much the devil of AIs. I never said anything about it only being designed to fight the Ark. Again, that's kind of on you for assuming that."
"...'
Eden stared blankly, clenching his fists.
"..."
"..."
"FU-"
ZERO-ONE REALxTIME: HOW IT SHOULD HAVE ENDED
"Now…" Kamen Rider Eden stated, his armor only being visible through the glowing magenta lines in the dark said, turning around. "Let us begin the battle for the fate of the-what the hell is this?"
A figure across the room from him stood there in silver armor with lines and highlights glowing green in the dark. "...what?"
"...You were supposed to arrive as Zero Two!"
"...Why? Sure, you made a terrorist threat, but you've done nothing to make it clear that Zero Two is needed to beat you. Heck, according to our scans, you're weaker than Metal Cluster. I mean, I could've gone with any of my forms & it'd be fitting."
"...but...but I'm the big movie villain!"
"...so?"
Eden growled. "Whatever, I shall defeat you!"
[FINAL STRASH!]
Eden got a wave of Cluster Cells sent at him, his body reforming.
"...huh. Would you look at that." Aruto said. "Well, now I know what to do."
"And what is that?" Eden asked.
"Omae wa mou…"
"No.." Eden's eyes widened. "NO DON'T SAY IT-"
"Shindeiru."
"NANI!?"
Eden convulsed, his nanotech dropping to the ground like blood. "B-but...how!?"
"I'm a genius, too, dude. You really think I wouldn't think of this as soon as I saw your regeneration in action? Like seriously, even if I arrived in any of my other forms, even Zero Two, there are so many different ways I could access the Cluster Cells."
"But...but my plan...how…?"
"It's called bad writing." Aruto said. "I'm told you get used to it with some of these movies."
"..." Eden face planted.
"GORILLA!" Jin Burning Falcon yelled as Kamen Rider Vulcan fell off from the jet...only to hear something.
[TRAPPING SPIDER!]
Vulcan pulled himself back onto the jet, now wearing different armor, his Gorilla armor replaced with purple ones looking like a spider.
"Whoa! That a new key?"
"No, we've had it for a while." Vulcan said. "I'm...surprised we never thought to use these earlier."
"Yeah, would've been helpful against the Ark." Jin agreed.
"Yeah, especially after Gai came to our side." Vulcan tapped his earpiece. "Hey, Gai, why is it you didn't give us these until now?"
"...I am 1000% uncertain…"
Both Jin and Vulcan groaned.
"One of these days his projects are gonna go massively over budget because he wants it to be 1000% something." Vulcan groaned.
"He's giving me a 1000% headache…" Jin agreed.
[ZEA'S ABILITY!]
Zero Two launched an energy slash at Eden, causing an explosion, only to see Eden grow his arm back.
"Nani?" Zero Two said.
"It is no use. I am-"
[ZERO TWO BIG BANG!]
Zero Two sent Eden into the air, coming at him from all directions, sending him falling to the ground, landing behind him, leaping forward and rushing ahead with data lines streaming behind him.
"HYAH!"
Zero Two yelled out as he kicked Eden into a wall, causing a large explosion.
[ZERO TWO BIG BANG!]
Eden fell on the ground out of his transformation.
"What!? HOW!?"
"Well, later on in the movie, Hellrising, which is confirmed in and out of universe to be weaker than Zero Two, was able to knock you out of your transformation with an attack that wasn't even a finisher. So a finisher from Zero Two should easily do the job." Aruto explained.
"Kisama…" Eden growled, standing up, reaching to activate his driver, only for it and the key to suddenly be in Aruto's hands.
"These are derived from Hiden Intelligence technology. Therefore, they are our property, therefore, I'll be seeing you in court, not just for your terrorist threats, but also copyright infringement." Zero Two said, with all the grace and professionalism a CEO typically exudes.
"...OH FUCK YOU-"
"Whether or not I tell you, it won't make a difference." Azu said with a cheeky smile, turning to walk away...only to find 2 red swords blocking her path.
"I don't think so." A familiar voice said, Kamen Rider Ikazuchi coming out from around the corner.
"Raiden!" Horobi said in surprise.
"Saw the show. Thought I'd go get the prez his bike, saw this bitch here walking around." Ikazuchi explained, holding his swords to Azu's neck. "Now we could let her get away like you seemed to be planning to...or we could just destroy her right here so she can't create any more Arks."
"...Good point." Horobi said, quickly transforming, pulling back the 'string' on his bow while Ikazuchi's swords crackled with lightning.
"...I have made a terrible mistake." Azu said.
"Yes you did."
Zero Two's eyes glowed red before he was kicked by Eden….
Only for Eden to have the Progrise Hopper Blade, covered in Cluster Cells, stabbed through his abdomen.
"WHAT!?"
"Quantum leaping." Zero Two said. "It's one of Zero Two's most useful abilities. Used it plenty in my fight with the Ark at Hiden Manufacturing. Oh, and by the way?"
"What?"
Zero Two pressed the trigger on the PHB multiple times, Eden yelling as more and more Cluster Cells appeared.
"That."
Zero Two pressed the key in his belt.
[ZERO TWO BIG BANG/PROGRISING STRASH!]
Zero Two spun around, holding his blade to the side as Eden exploded in spectacular fashion, falling down out of his transformation.
Eden groaned, lookin and seeing his driver and key gone and in Aruto's hands.
"...Fuck."
"Fuck is right." Aruto said. "Like I said earlier in this parody, multiple ways to use the Cluster Cells. That, plus an enhancement from a finisher. It's kinda sad we didn't see that more often in the show, honestly."
"To be honest, that's a good point." Eden said, sitting up. "I mean, wouldn't it make sense to do that more since it leads to more powerful finishers? Probably would've helped against the Ark."
"That's what I'm saying!" Zero Two agreed.
"Oh, you know what would've been better?"
As the 2 began talking more, a man in grey robes with a book in hand walked in front of the screen.
"Ok, clearly something has begun. Let's move onto the next scene before these 2 strike a friendship, eh?"
[ULTIMATE STRASH!]
Eden fell to the ground, Metal Cluster Zero One holding the PHB in its Naginata mode.
"I'm taking that key before you end the world."
"NO!" Eden reached for the key. "THE GARDEN OF-"
Only for the cluster cells to zoom in and grab the Hellrising key, Aruto inserting it into one of his belt's pouches.
"WHAT!?"
"You thought I'd just stand around and let you get the key that'll allow you to destroy the world?" Aruto asked.
"...Well yeah."
"...why?"
"..." Eden thought about it. "I dunno."
Zero One shook his head. "Ah well. Oh by the way,"
A second later, the Zero Two Driver and key were in Aruto's hands. "I'll be taking these back."
"You mother-"
[METALRISING IMPACT!]
A cone made of clustercells stabbed Eden in the chest, Aruto jumping and doing a divekick into them.
[METALRISING IMPACT!]
Aruto landed on the other side of Eden, the dark rider getting knocked out of his transformation.
"But how-"
"If the Cluster Cells are a key weakness of yours, a finisher should do the job." Aruto said.
"FU-"
Zero Two's eyes glowed as the room was flooded with a red substance, dodging and disappearing out of the way of several spikes, Eden suddenly getting aerial roundhouse kicked to the side of the room.
"BUT HOW-"
"Zero Two has hyper analytical, prediction, and countering abilities." Aruto explained, the red substance dissipating. "You really think I or the Zero Two system wouldn't think to try this? Also, quantum leaping. Again."
"Heheh...but...YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING YET!" Eden yelled, attempting to trap Zero Two with the red substance, grabbing onto the driver. "MINE!"
A tendril launched into Aruto…
And it made Eden tumble forward.
"WHAT!?"
"...Dude, if Kamen Riders were that easy to take down, they'd be pretty pathetic." Zero Two said. "Naturally, our belts have security measures in place to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen. Plus they're very tightly locked to our bodies anyway."
Across the multiverse, Tsukasa and a few AR Riders sneezed.
"..." Eden growled.
"Oh, and also."
[ZERO TWO BIG BANG!]
"Of course…" Eden sighed in resignation before Zero Two rider kicked him, knocking him out of his transformation.
"We won't let that happen." Aruto said, having thrown his Attach Calibur into Lucifer's blast.
"Oh, and Aruto." Izu handed Aruto the Zero Two driver and key.
"But Izu-"
Izu took out a driver and key of her own. Only in colors more fitting of her.
"WHAT!?" Lucifer yelled out.
"I helped create the Zero Two system, plus have shown 3D printing capabilities myself. With that, after I regained my memories, I was easily able to conjure something up using Zero Two's data, plus my own."
"...BULLSHIT! THAT IS BULLSHIT!"
"Is it anymore," Izu cleared her throat. "'Bullshit,' than Realizing Hopper or Ark Scorpion? Or Eden magically being able to keep up with Zero Two despite being weaker than Metal Cluster and showing no abilities that'd help him do that, and the only explanation being a handwave one of 'regeneration,' despite that not giving one additional power levels or fighting skill? At least this follows actual rules established before that circle of nonsense."
"Whatever! You're still going to die!" Lucifer declared. "...wait…" He looked to the Abbadon Riders. "...Why're you just standing there!?"
"...We wanted to be polite…" One said.
"And also, the Zero Two key, plus my own by extension, are capable of producing forcefields." Izu whispered to...you.
"Whatever! Let's get them!" Lucifer yelled. "AND THEN I SHALL BRING FORTH PARADISE!"
"...who're you again?" Aruto asked.
"...What!?"
"...that's a good question." Esu said. "Who're you?"
"...y…" Lucifer babbled incredulously. "DO YOU NOT REMEMBER ME!? I'M BEL!"
"..."
Everyone soon had smiles across their faces, holding back snickers. Even Izu couldn't resist cracking a small smile.
"STOP LAUGHING! IT'S BIBLICAL!"
Aruto snickered. "There goes the baker with his tray, like, always!"
"The same old bread and rolls to sell!" Izu joined in.
"STOP IT! I AM THE FINAL ANTAGONIST! FEAR ME! TAKE ME SERIOUSLY, DAMMIT!"
"It's hard to when we don't really know who you are." Aruto said. "You barely have any character here. All we know about you is you're some nobody with an honestly less cool version of Eden's suit."
"Yes, you're just...what even is your job again?" Esu asked.
"..." Lucifer yelled.
"Y'know what, we should probably go stop him now." Aruto said, snickering.
"Yes we should." Izu said, and her and Aruto transformed while Esu made his getaway.
"So, after that, we helped the city with clean up." Aruto said, sitting in a cafe with Izu on a leather couch seat close to the window, a man in his early 20s sitting a little away from them on that side, while on the other sad a man in black with a magenta undershirt.
"We decided Esu's nanotech was worth studying and improving on to help with future medical procedures and advancement." Izu said.
"Ah." Sougo said. "So, then what'd you do?"
"Well, AIMS arrested everyone who controlled the Avatars, and all Thinknet tech was confiscated and destroyed." Aruto explained.
"As well as the Eden Driver & key." Izu continued.
"So, what you gonna do now?"
"We," Izu turned to Aruto with a stern look. "Are gonna have a little chat tonight."
"...uh...about what?" Aruto asked nervously.
"About how you thought it was a good idea to transform with a key that A, was not designed to transform with, and B, was actively harming your body."
"Look I thought it was the only way to destroy the key!"
"How did you come to that conclusion?"
"..." Aruto thought about it. "...I dunno."
The 2 anniversary riders facepalmed.
"So...lemme get this straight." Sougo said, pointing to Izu. "You weren't a separate Izu, you were the same one, just without your memories."
"Yes." Izu confirmed.
"So...that other Izu you saw?"
"Was a manifestation of my old memories, not another Izu."
"Ah." Sougo nodded.
"So...whatcha gonna do after that?" Tsukasa asked, sipping his mug of coffee.
"Whatever keeps us out of the V-Cinemas." Aruto said.
Sougo shrugged. "Makes sense. I hope they're good, though. Mine was…" He looked away.
"Be lucky you even got a V-Cinema…" Tsukasa muttered.
"Hey didn't you get one-"
"That was a Den-O movie and you know it."
"O-ok, guys, let's not get into a tussle here." Aruto said. "After all, you don't have the time, nor space to do it! HAI!" He jumped onto his seat, along with Izu.
"ARUTO JAAAAAAAAAAAA, NAITO!" The 2 yelled, doing the signature gesture.
"..."
"..."
The 2 riders left.
"...Another bust, huh?" Aruto sulked.
"Do not worry. I'm sure you'll make someone other than Fuwa laugh one day." Izu said.
"Yeah, you're ri-wait, what was that about Fuwa?"
END
DISCLAIMER: I actually really liked RealxTime. One of the better solo Rider movies. I just found some glaring problems. It's a good movie, but not without flaws.
Also, there are a few other points I couldn't quite figure out how to work in here, and probably some others I'm forgetting.
