Chapter 8: Rise Up For A New Tomorrow!

Twinkly helps to bring Flora and her sister to the Planet of Helheim, where they meet Kazuraba Kouta, the new Man of the Beginning and Kamen Rider Gaim himself. As they await for what he has in store for them, Bloom and her sister, Sakura, visit Gardenia to introduce the girl from the mirror to her new family, though tensions arise when the introduction seems to be forced. As this happens, the rest of the Winx head to Zawame City so that they can find more clues about Gaim. There, they meet Koyomi, Kamen Rider Raven, who is there from the future to help them prepare for a quest that will require them to be at their strongest. However, none of the three parties realize the dangers they have put themselves in from the machinations of the Dark Fairy.

On Helheim, Flora and Miele looked to Kouta with amazement, and Mai as well. The two smiled as they walked forward, the Inves seeming to bow before them.

"Kouta… hello," Flora said, bowing lightly. Miele looked to her sister and then to the Inves. Upon connecting what was going on, she bowed as well. "I'm… I'm honestly surprised you already know who I am, to be honest."

"It was Kouta who called out to you in your dream," Mai said. "I only helped make the connection from Helheim to Alfea."

"You're familiar with the Magix Dimension?" Flora asked, looking up.

"When you take a bite out of the Golden Fruit and see who came before and after you as a Rider, you tend to learn a lot," Kouta stated. "And I am very familiar with the Raidarix Powers, as well as the one who seeks to gain them."

"You mean the Dark Fairy." Flora assumed.

"Yes," Kouta answered. "As we speak, she is attacking your friends. Fortunately, they have the good fortune of being assisted by an old friend of mine… but not from this point in time."

"Who is it?" Miele asked.

"You will find out for yourself… once Flora passes my test," Kouta said. "She must prove herself worthy… of the conceived Golden Fruit!" he declared, holding his hand out.

Flora and Miele looked on with wonder as a gold light shone in Kouta's hand. From it appeared the Golden Fruit, only with an orange core and a magenta glow to it.

"That's it… the Golden Fruit?" Flora asked.

"A single piece of it," Mai corrected. "But even a fraction of its power is great. Kouta's Kiwami powers originated from a small piece of the Golden Fruit, after all."

"It is yours," Kouta started out before letting the new Golden Fruit piece fly into the air, floating above everyone. "But only when you pass the test that I have in store for you."

Flora looked to the Golden Fruit with wonder. As she did, she looked to the Inves looking up at it as well. Something occurred to her as she turned back to the two rulers of Helheim.

"Something's off," Flora said. "A friend of ours warned us of a sort of temptation we would get when in Helheim… like the story of Adam and Eve."

"It takes a great deal of worthiness and willpower to resist the temptation of the Golden Fruit," Kouta started to explain. "Many people came and gave in, including a Red Sentai I met… but most of them were saved, or resisted. It seems that while I was expecting you to have those same prerequisites… your sister having them was most unexpected." He said, looking to Miele.

"Miele?" Flora asked as Miele looked around.

"I was never told about the temptation," Miele admitted, standing up. "When Flora started to mention it, I thought it was because both she and I were born on Linphea."

"It goes beyond that," Kouta said. "But what causes it is a mystery. It is sometimes through willpower alone, like a friend of mine," he started, looking to a tree with a glowing red fruit. "Or through something predestined. Flora having that invulnerability is no surprise, but for you… we shall have to do a second test… for you to acquire a power of your own."

"What?" Flora asked as she got up as well. "Kouta, please. Miele just came along, I don't want anything to happen to her," she pleaded. "I'll take your trial, but Miele is not to be harmed!"

"Indeed she will not," Kouta reassured, causing Flora to calm down a little. "However, keep your bonds in mind for this test. I can assure you that you will need to rely on them, as my trial is a very trying one."

Flora looked to Miele, who walked up to her with a smile.

"It's okay, Flora," Miele said. "You've saved me a lot. I've saved you only once," she pointed out. "I want to be able to save you more by doing this. I don't want to be the one in need of saving anymore."

Flora smiled before turning back to Kouta. "Okay, I'm ready," she said. "What do I have to do?"

Kouta smiled and gestured to a path with several Helheim fruits and trees surrounding it, like a tunnel. "Walk through there. The path to where the previous Overlord lies ahead. That will be where you finish the test," he instructed, "But be warned. You will be tested greatly, and you will need all of your wits to gain my Raidarix Power."

Flora nodded, placing a hand close to the handle of her Wing Calibur. "I'm ready." She said.

"Then go," Kouta said as Flora made her way down to the pathway. "This is your stage now."

Back in Helheim City, everyone was making their way out of Drupers. However, before any of them could get the chance to speak, an energy blast was sent in front of them, nearly hitting them.

"Who was that?!" Sky asked as the Specialists looked all around.

From the top of a roof, a Kamen Rider leapt down. He was armed with a straighter, bladed version of the Sonic Arrow, as well as a shield on his left arm, both resembling apples. The Lockseed on his driver, which resembled a sort of juicer with a pull mechanism on the side, had an apple on it, and the head resembled that of a European Knight mixed with a samurai, with a damaged hat on the top. The chest had pieces that resembled apple slices as well, all golden with blood-red colors on the tips.

"You know this guy?" Aisha asked as the rest of the Winx got ready to fight, the Riders getting their Lockseeds ready.

"Never seen him before." Zack replied.

"Wait… that hat…" Micchi said, seeing the damaged hat on the head. "Sid?!"

"Yes…" the Rider now identified as Sid said before another voice said, "And no."

"What?" Roxy asked.

"Kougane…" Zack growled.

"Let me guess," Musa said as she readied her Rider Pass while Winx Kivat flew down. "An amalgam created by the Dark Fairy?"

"Forgive my guest. He can be possessive," Sid said before the other voice was heard groaning. "But yes. The Dark Fairy brought us back, though we now share my body. With my Driver restored, I now stand before you… as Armored Rider Hades!"

"That's a dead giveaway if I've ever heard one," Stella said before running forward. "Magic Raidarix: Kiva!"

"Magic Raidarix: Den-O!" Musa called out, running forward as well as she swiped her pass over her buckle.

WINX FORM!

"Magic Winx! Bloomix!" Aisha called out as she and Tecna flew forward.

"Neo Believix!" Roxy called out, running forward as well while taking out her Raidarix Saber.

"HENSHIN!" Koyomi, Woz and the Armored Riders called out, charging in as well with the Specialists in tow.

"HENSHIN!" Woz and Zack both called out, focusing on the battle.

TOEI! FUTURE TIME! JIDAI! MIRAI! KAMEN RIDER WOZ! WOZ!

LOCK ON! KURUMI ARMS! MISTER KNUCKLEMAN!

LOCK ON! RYU HOU! HA-HA-HA!

AZARATH METRI-KAMEN RAIDA! PLEASE!

Kamen Rider Hades laughed as he readied his advanced Sonic Arrow. Roxy and Stella slashed at him from the sides, but he split it apart, revealing them to be two swords together that resembled the two, who backed away while parrying off his strikes as best as they could. As soon as they were clear, Micchi shot at him, only for him to raise his Apple Reflecter and block the blasts. As soon as his shield was lowered, Koyomi and Woz struck at him from behind. He spun around and performed a wide slash, forcing them back, until Zack punched at him.

"Sid… Kougane… you were the worst of all Armored Riders!" Zack proclaimed. "Whatever the Dark Fairy gave you… it won't be enough against us!"

"Are you certain?" Sid asked before turning around and slashing Zack in the chest.

"The Dark Fairy has given us more power than you can imagine," Kougane's voice said. "Now, we stand above all humans. The Golden Fruit will be ours once more, and you can do nothing to stop it!"

"Shut up!" Brandon called out, activating the other end of his sword. He spun around and slashed at Hades, who connected his Sonic Arrow again to clash with him as he leapt up, Timmy and Micchi shot at him, only for him to send several sonic blasts at them. As soon as he landed, Woz kicked him.

Kamen Rider Hades grunted as he was pushed forward before getting slashed by Koyomi with the RavenRifleScepter.

"Stella, let's get him!" Musa called out, her armor turning purple as she held her Raidarix DenKamen Sword as a gun.

"Right!" Stella called out. She played a few strings on her Fairy Wing before gaining the Bassha Magnum.

Musa and Stella both flew up, aiming their firearms at Sid and Kougane. Soon, they released a series of rapid blasts, all making impact on him.

"Now!" Sky called out as he and the other Specialists ran in to attack.

Kougane's voice growled as he spun around, pulling on his Genesis Driver several times.

TAINTED DRAGON ENERGY SQUASH!

With a roar, Kougane slashed at the Specialists. Riven gasped and shoved Donna to the side, allowing for everyone, save Helia who had leapt back in time, were sent back into the pavement.

"Guys!" Roxy called out before flying to Donna. "You okay?"

"I'll live." Donna said before noticing a small cut on Roxy's arm.

"This isn't working," Woz said. "We need to regroup."

"Is he even giving us that option?" Musa asked, backing away with Stella while keeping their weapons aimed.

"No… but I can!" Koyomi called out, scanning a Ring over her finger.

BLAST, PLEASE!

Sid took over Kamen Rider Hades and placed his Sid Lockseed onto the Ringo Arrow, charging it up for an attack.

CONNECTING! DRAGON ENERGY SQUASH!

Kamen Rider Hades fired, but Koyomi aimed the magic circle over her hand at the ground in front of him. It disoriented him, sending his own blast into the air. When the smoke from the explosion cleared, he saw that the group was now gone.

"Not too bad." Kamen Rider Hades admitted in a mix of both Kougane and Sid's voices.

In Gardenia, Bloom was continuing to make her way to the pizza shop. As she was, she was still thinking about what her family said.

"Am I really that way?" Bloom asked herself, remembering how her father, mother and sister all said that bringing Sakura into her life and theirs was feeling forced. "Do I… really rush things like that?" she asked before taking a deep breath as she continued to walk on ahead. "I mean, yeah, I look after my family a lot, especially my sisters… but is it too much to try and make them the best they can be? I'm just trying to support them."

As Bloom was thinking aloud, the man who visited Vanessa was following her. Before he could make himself known, he heard something and turned around. His eyes widened before he ran forward, tackling Bloom to the ground.

"Look out!" the man called out as he threw himself to Bloom.

Bloom turned around just as she was tackled. Before she could complain about the sudden invasion of personal space, black feathers rained down and exploded. Both she and the man looked up to see the Dark Fairy floating down, her demonic wings retracting into her back.

Daphne and Sakura had just caught up with Bloom when they saw the attack happen. While Daphne tried to go on ahead, Sakura held her arm in front of her to stop her from going forward as the Dark Fairy summoned her Sword of Shocker.

"Thanks for that," Bloom said to the man, who nodded as the two got up. "What brings you to Gardenia, Dark Fairy?" she asked, brushing some dirt off of her jacket. "Japan or Magix not working out for you?"

"I can't seem to find Flora. And yes, I know her turn for her Raidarix Power has come," the Dark Fairy replied back, causing Sakura to glare while summoning a weapon from the window next to her and Daphne. "And I can't leave without my powers leaving me, so until I can draw her out… I guess you'll do for some… practice."

"Not gonna happen!" Bloom called out, placing her Deck into her V-Buckle. "Magic Winx: Raidarix! Ryuki!"

"Bloom, Fairy of the Dragon Flame!"

Bloom flew forward with Dragreder flying beside her. Spreading her arms out, two fiery rings emerged from her body and spun around her. Dragreder flew into her as millions of reflections of her appeared all around. All imposing onto the real Bloom, she gained her armor before she thrust her arms forward. The Drag Visor appeared over her left arm before moving her poised hands to the left, causing her Ryuki tiara to appear. As soon she entered her final pose, the finishing pose of Kamen Rider Ryuki, she gained her wings.

"Bring it on." Bloom said, taking out her Raidarix RyukiSaber.

The Dark Fairy chuckled while spinning around the Sword of Shocker. "That's more like it." She said before charging forward.

Bloom yelled and flew forward, both her and the Dark Fairy clashing at the middle. As they circled around, the Dark Fairy sprouted her wings again, but Bloom took out her Wing Calibur, using both swords to push her back.

The Dark Fairy chuckled and parried away the blades before sending forth a blast at Bloom. She was taken by surprise and was sent back. As she was recovering, the Dark Fairy leapt in and started to land a powered dropkick.

"No you don't!" Sakura called out, jumping forward as her Black Drag Saber flew to her hand. With it, she slashed the Dark Fairy off-course, sending her to the ground.

"Daphne! Fairy of Domino!" Daphne called out, flying to where the Dark Fairy was about to fall.

An orange aura surrounded Daphne as she flew into the air. Spinning around, it formed around her, giving her a fiery wardrobe with cloth flowing from behind. She closed her eyes as her signature mask appeared over her face. As soon as it materialized into a fiery texture, she opened her eyes again before her Sirenix Nymph wings appeared on her back.

"Miriam's Wrath!" Daphne called out, blasting the Dark Fairy before she could even make impact with the ground. However, she teleported away and reappeared behind Daphne, grabbing her and throwing her back.

"Daphne!" Bloom yelled. She flew to her older sister and caught her, while releasing her Raidarix RyukiSaber to attack the Dark Fairy.

The Dark Fairy flew back as the Raidarix RyukiSaber formed into the Dragreder. Both it and Bloom's own dragon lashed out at her before the Dragblacker attacked as well.

"Bloom, who is that?" Daphne asked as Sakura and the man ran over to her and Bloom. "And why does she look like you?"

"It's a long story," Bloom replied. "Right now, we need to get out of here."

"No one is going anywhere!" the Dark Fairy yelled. She flew forward and warped in front of them, preparing to bring her sword down.

The man narrowed his eyes and took out a Sengoku Driver. Bloom gasped as he placed it on with a melon Lockseed on it.

LOCK ON!

"Henshin!" the man called out, catching the blade of the sword as a white bodysuit appeared over him.

SOIYA! MELON ARMS! TENKA GOMEN!

A melon fell over the man, transforming him into an Armored Rider with green plating and a shield, both it and his headpiece having a crescent on them. He threw off the Dark Fairy and took out a Musou Saber, shooting her back before throwing his shield, the Melon Defender, at her.

The Dark Fairy gasped as she teleported several times, only for the shield to catch up wherever she flew. She growled and blasted at the Armored Rider, but he caught his shield and blocked the attacks again.

"Raidarix Magic!" Bloom called out, spinning around. Her dragons flew around her before she sent a blast of her symbol at the Dark Fairy, causing an explosion.

The Dark Fairy snarled again and swung her sword out, clearing away the smoke. When it cleared, Bloom, Sakura, Daphne and the Armored Rider were all gone.

"You can run… but you can't hide forever!" the Dark Fairy proclaimed as she flew into the air.

On Helheim, Flora was continuing to make her way through the pathway that Kouta set her on. She looked around, seeing multiple Helheim fruits around her. All of them were in different colors than the usual ones, mostly being pink like her signature color or green like ripe bananas. Continuing to look around, she even saw several Inves minding their own business around several trees.

"This forest is full of life, like Twinkly said," Flora said to herself, keeping her hand near the hilt of her sword in case of a surprise attack. "There's a lot here, though. I just have to remember… Kouta said everything about me will be tested."

"You're a pain in the neck!"

Flora gasped and looked around. "Icy?!" she exclaimed. She ran towards the source of the voice and found the Trix hovering over Mirta and Bloom, who was in her Charmix Form. "This is…"

"You're a bothersome little… ugh! A bothersome little… pumpkin? Why not?" Icy ranted before deciding on her punishment for Mirta for interfering.

"Stay back!" Flora yelled, charging in. She slashed at Icy's neck, only for her to pass right through her. "What the—?"

"You can change this, you know."

Flora turned around at the familiar voice. Approaching her was another version of her, only with white and brown robes that resembles a snake's skin.

"What do you mean?" Flora asked as she put her sword down. As she did, the past manifestations of the Trix, Mirta and Bloom slowed down, almost as if they were moving in incredibly slow motion.

"This garden… it is a domain of endless possibilities. To change what could had been done before," the different Flora explained. She held out her hand as a snake slithered around her arm, forming a Helheim Fruit. "You only need to take this, and you can see… you can change the world. You only need to take the power."

Flora looked to the fruit, feeling like it was almost calling to her. She held her hand out, but as she did, she looked back to the manifestation from the past, seeing a look on Mirta's face.

The expression was not that of fear or surprise like she had before, but rather an expression that seemed to know what was about to come. Even in that moment, at that split second, she knew what she was getting into.

Finally, Flora turned back to her alternate self. "What's done is done," she said, placing her sword back on her back. "It took me a long time to save Mirta. While I wish I could have saved her sooner… fate had already cast its die. And no matter the chance… I wouldn't change it for the better." She said before walking away.

The alternate Flora looked to her real self before seeing the memory play out, with Mirta being inevitably turned into a pumpkin by the Trix. An impressed yet troubled look appeared on her face before all five manifestations were turned into vines.

Back in Zawame city, everyone made their way into the garage of Team Gaim, which was closed for the week. Immediately, the Winx, Donna, Helia, Micchi, Zack, Peko, Chucky and Koyomi all laid down, panting from the running they did to get away.

"And to think Ben had it easy." Koyomi muttered before taking out two Rings. She placed one of them on her hand before scanning it over the RavenDriver.

HIPPOGRIFF! PLEASE!

A tray of assorted parts appeared from a Magic Circle and turned into a Hippogriff, much to the surprise of Donna, Roxy and Mirta. As soon as it assembled, Koyomi placed the other Ring on and scanned it.

AXOLOTL! PLEASE!

Everyone watched as an Axolotl appeared and assembled itself. Koyomi took both rings and placed them in, causing them to glow.

"Someone dangerous is following us, and until we can get Bloom and Flora, two other fairies, to unite with the Winx, we need you to keep a close eye out," Koyomi explained. "Think you two can handle that?"

The two PlaMonsters chirped and went off in response.

"So, what now?" Mirta asked.

"We wait for them, and in the meantime, come up with a plan," Koyomi replied. "Sid the Lockseed Dealer was dangerous before as Kamen Rider Sigurd, but with a Genesis Driver and a Golden Ringo Lockseed, he's tougher than before."

Aisha got up and took out her phone. "Brandon, call your ship and get back to Magix," she ordered. "Until you can recover, we can't have you get in the way. I hope you understand."

"It's okay," Brandon replied as Aisha unknowingly glowed, a faint phi symbol fading in and out before disappearing from her jacket. "Just be safe."

"Will do," Aisha said. "Stay safe yourself."

Stella and Musa looked to each other before turning to Koyomi. Woz did the same as soon as he saw that Donna was tending to Roxy.

"None of us could have seen a revived New Generation Rider coming after us," Stella said. "If this actually was the doing of the Dark Fairy, we need to know what she's up to, and what we need to do to prepare."

"Aside from making sure all of you Fairies are here and not on the other side of the world and at the midpoint to Planet S-1?" Koyomi asked.

"Koyomi-Chan, you mentioned that other Raidarix powers are needed for the Winx to gain," Woz said. "What other powers do we need to gain?"

Koyomi sighed. "Before you can get the powers you need to fully counter the Dark Fairy and Another World, you need to gain the powers of not only your first sets, but also those of Kuuga, Agito, Blade, Hibiki, Ghost, Ex-Aid, Build and Zi-O," she explained while also using her own magic to show the symbols of each Rider she had mentioned. "Bear in mind that you are not limited to the Raidarix you gain, but at maximum, you should at least have four each. Extras can be added without making you too powerful."

"What extras?" Musa asked.

"Mine for example," Koyomi replied. "But in order for you to be able to control these, you need to learn a certain spell, one that can only be learned by Raidarix Fairies, the ten of them."

"Isn't that risky?" Woz asked.

"What's this spell?" Roxy asked.

"It may sound simple, but like Woz is concerned, it is a little risky," Koyomi explained. "You have to commit to this before any of you can get any other Raidarix Powers."

"That kind of spell takes training." Woz said.

"Can you please tell us the spell?" Aisha asked. "We need every edge to take on the Dark Fairy and stop her from getting the Raidarix Powers, more than what she's already taken from Another World."

"You require more Raidarix Powers to do it, and I can only bestow mine to one of you," Koyomi said. "It's a spell that can allow you to duplicate yourself and access all or some of your Raidarix Powers," she explained. "The Raidarix Split. One of the many spells that you can use exclusively for Raidarix purposes."

"So we just have to have another form of Raidarix with us to make it work?" Stella asked.

"Yes," Koyomi replied. "I was going to give you the power later, but given the circumstances we are in, and the circumstances your friends have gotten into in America and Helheim, it seems like you'll get it sooner."

"Well, we need more than additional Fairy power to help," Zack said. He took out his Sengoku Driver, eyeing something in place of his Indicator. "This core… will it still be enough?"

"Wait a minute," Chucky said, seeing the Genesis Core. "There's something that can actually help us out."

"What is it?" Donna asked, getting up with help from Roxy.

"Back before everyone lost their powers in the Helheim Invasion, Kaito and Kouta left something for us, in case we faced another threat," Chucky explained as he approached a locker. He tapped the padlock on it and pushed it, causing a panel to open up underneath the locker. Opening it, he took out a box and walked back to the others. "Since we used the garage as our safe house, we placed it here, and made sure it was safe in case the Inves attacked here too."

"That was here all this time?" Zack asked.

Chucky nodded as he set the box down. Opening it up, he showed everyone its contents. They consisted of a Genesis Driver, the Banana Lockseed, the remains of the broken Matsubokkuri Lockseed, and a red Helheim Fruit.

"What are these?" Helia asked.

"There's more," Chucky said, picking up a folded piece of paper. He unfolded it and read it to everyone. "'To anyone left after the Helheim Invasion, we are Kazuraba Kouta and Kumon Kaito. This may be the final time any of us speak to you'", he started out. "'In this capsule, we have left for you anything needed to ensure the future and safety of Zawame City. A Genesis Driver, formerly belonging to Sengoku Ryouma before being used by Yoko Minato. Both are now dead, but in the event of a new threat or the return of our Inves, we leave it behind as possibly the final Genesis Driver before their destruction. There is also what remains of Hase's Lockseed before he gave into temptation for power. It will not have much use in pieces, but we assure you that you can find a new use for it after we have gained new powers.'"

"You know about this?" Stella asked Woz and Peko as the latter approached the broken Matsubokkuri Lockseed.

"I never knew this had happened," Woz replied. "I knew of the Invasion and what had happened afterwards, but never this."

Peko looked to the broken Lockseed before seeing a vine holding several Helheim Fruits, from when Kouta and Mai had briefly returned. He placed it at one of the fruits, causing it to turn into an Energy Lockseed with the Matsubokkuri arms on it.

"'Zack, I hope the last two reach you especially'," Chucky went on as Zack walked over, picking up the red Helheim fruit and the Banana Lockseed. "'Before leaving the second time from this world, I came back here with Kaito's intact Lockseed, signed by Kazuraba Kouta,'" he read, ensuring everyone understood that the first part was written by Kouta first. "'Ever since you defeated me before my confrontation with Kazuraba, I felt you were a worthy successor to my title as Team Leader. For this, you have a special Helheim Fruit created by Kazuraba, and my own Lockseed, for I fear that I will not be able to use it if I fall in battle. Before passing, I entrusted Kazuraba with bringing my Lockseed to safety so that you can continue the future of Team Baron. You will know what to do with this, and the special fruit created by me, signed by Kaito Kumon.'"

"Kaito…" Zack said, looking to the Banana Lockseed.

"'With these discovered, we know the future of Zawame City, and the future of all those we fought for, will be secured,'" Zack continued as the Winx looked to each other. "'Everyone… this is your stage now. Never give up.'"

Koyomi sighed. "I guess it's only a matter of time, then," she said before looking to her Ring. "They're not back yet. He's still out there."

"Kougane-Sid?" Stella asked.

"Yes," Woz confirmed, just as a small hawk-robot arrived. Woz looked to it before it turned into a Ridewatch, which he grabbed and clicked to display monitors around Zawame City. "He's waiting for us… but like us, he's biding his time."

"Then we need to take the fight to him before he can cause any destruction," Tecna said. "Now that we're ready, we can do just that."

"You'll need my help too," Koyomi said before turning to Stella. "Just as you will require my Raidarix… Fairy of the Sun and the Moon."

Stella blinked in response to the statement.

"Me…?"

Back on Helheim, Flora was making her way down another path. As she did, she heard the sounds of weapons clashing and immediately become on alert. She looked around before seeing Helia and Riven fighting at a snow-filled town.

"Wait… another one…?" Flora asked before looking around. "This is Fearwood Village! I remember now!" she exclaimed before turning back.

Remembering what happened, Flora waited for her past self to step in and stop her coldhearted boyfriend. However, after Helia disarmed Riven, he did not move in to make a fatal attack on him. Instead, the other Specialists and Winx faded away as he redirected his attack right at her.

"Helia, wait!" Flora called out, dodging out of the way as he brought his stave down onto her. She barrel-rolled out of the way of another attack, causing his weapon to get stuck in a tree. "What has gotten into you?!"

"You're weak!" Helia snarled, breaking free and slashing at Flora. Flora gasped and unsheathed her sword, slashing back and locking with the manifestation of her boyfriend. "So many times you were powerful against the Trix, Tritannus, Darkar, Valtor… even Mandragora and the Black Circle! You could have used your full power to destroy them all! But your kindness held you back!"

"This isn't you! The real Helia would never say that!" Flora argued. She back-stepped and let Helia fall before holding her hands out, causing flowers to wrap around his ankles. He lashed at the vines and cut them apart, causing her to gasp. As she was still in shock, he ran and slashed at her, but she slashed his stave out of his hand and knocked him to the ground.

"This isn't…" Flora started out before seeing the damage done to the nature all around. She looked to her sword as Helia panted.

"Go on…" Helia said, looking up. "You know what to do."

Flora narrowed her eyes and raised up her sword. As Helia closed his eyes, she suddenly tossed the sword away, planting itself safely into the soil.

"You're right… part of me is weak," Flora said. "I could have stopped the Trix millions of times… when they struck Miele… when they attacked you. I could have even stopped Tritannus from polluting every ocean with a snap of my fingers from the spells I could cast… but do you know why I didn't?" she asked, holding her hand out. "It's because of how nice I am."

"Do you really believe that?"

"Maybe it's holding me back, the reason I can never finish off any of our enemies," Flora admitted. "But it's because of my kindness that I've been able to come so far. I will never resort to becoming a monster to create a better world," she vowed, holding her hand out, allowing her sword to fly back to her before placing it in its sheath. "Even if I was offered the chance to give up my humanity… I'd rather die with kindness than live ruthlessly."

Helia looked up and accepted Flora's hand. As she pulled him up, he smiled, and the ice in his heart shattered.

"One more to go…" Helia said before walking away.

Flora nodded and followed after Helia. However, before she could make it past the trees he walked past, a branch hit her in the face. She cleared it away and laughed.

"Really? That old trick?" Flora asked.

"I'm your boyfriend. Even as an illusion, I love to mess with you." Helia admitted before going further down the path.

"I guess we really are made for each other," Flora said, following behind. She noticed a bigger, thicker branch in the way and carefully ducked underneath it before finding her foot stuck in some mud. "So that's how Stella felt." She mused. Lifting her foot, she pulled it out, but left her boot behind. Ditching her other boot for balance, she went on, but suddenly found Miele standing in front of her in the distance ahead. She stopped, seeing a blank expression on her face before she walked away.

"Miele, wait!"

At Bloom's apartment in Gardenia, the Japanese man who helped Bloom, Sakura and Daphne helped the three inside. Vanessa and Mike ran over and helped as Bloom collapsed onto the chair.

"What happened?" Vanessa asked.

"It was our new enemy, the Dark Fairy. She has my form from when I was turned evil by Lord Darkar," Bloom explained. "I was attacked on the way to pick up our food."

"She's growing more powerful," Sakura said. "I felt like none of our spells were at full strength like usual."

"What do you mean?" Daphne asked. "Did she do something to make it that way?"

"It's not the Dark Fairy that did that," the Japanese man said, stepping up and putting his case down. "All of you are feeling conflicted. It's getting in the way of your Raidarix Powers."

"Wait… you know about the Raidarix powers?" Bloom asked. "I saw you're a Kamen Rider, but…" she started until remembering that he was briefly with her mother. "Have… have we met before?"

"No… but I am an ally of the Rider whose Raidarix your friend is seeking," the man said. "My name is Kureshima… Kureshima Takatora."

"That's right," Vanessa said. "This man is here on behalf of Zawame City. He's helping areas of the world to recover from the missile strike during the Helheim Invasion from 2014."

"Unfortunately, Gardenia was one of the cities hit," Mike went on. "As the former head of Yggdrasil Corporation, Mr. Kureshima came to help make amends with one of the many cities affected by the fallout."

"How come you never told me?" Bloom asked.

"Because at the time, you were dealing with your own problems," Mike explained. "We didn't want to add to much pressure."

"But I see that now that I'm here to check on the progress of my funded repairs, I should step in for this matter," Takatora said before walking up to Bloom. "I've been in your position."

"That's a little hard to picture seriously." Bloom mused.

"As a sibling to another, I mean," Takatora clarified. He looked up, thinking back to the days when he and Kouta were still Riders. "My little brother, Mitsuzane… he had a lot going on. I made the mistake of putting too much pressure on him, and while I believed in him, the day when he revealed to have betrayed me made me realize just what kind of a brother I was," he explained, getting Bloom to listen very carefully to the story. "If I had not been so hard on him, perhaps he would have chosen a different path. But in the end, both of us were ashamed of our actions towards each other."

"So what happened?" Bloom asked.

"When I returned after an attempt on my life, I went to confront Mitsuzane," Takatora went on. "I tried to put an end to him… but I couldn't do it. I was lost for a while, during the Helheim Invasion. When I finally woke up, I found Mitsuzane by my bed, but he was still troubled, despite me forgiving him, as I had understood the way I had pressured him. It took us a while, but after a few times together as brothers, we managed to reconcile," he said, now with a smile on his face. He turned back to Bloom. "While the only female other I had in my life was not my sister, I can see the same problem with you almost growing with your own sister. In order to be at full strength, even to face the Dark Fairy and her forces, you have to find peace with Sakura."

Bloom nodded before looking to Sakura. She got up and took a deep breath, walking over.

"Sakura… I'm sorry for the pressure I put on you, for making all the choices for you," Bloom apologized. "Had I seen it sooner that you wanted to take things at your own pace, I would have let it," she admitted. "I guess that after getting another sister… I wanted to make you feel welcome like I was after I found out I was adopted. I should have known I was being too hard on you all that time. I'm sorry."

Sakura smiled and stood up to hold onto Bloom's hand. "I know what you were trying to do," she said. "I don't blame you, but remember… I want to keep things at my own pace, okay?"

Bloom chuckled. "That sounds just fine with me." She said.

"Besides… I got to meet the family," Sakura added, gesturing to Mike and Vanessa before gesturing to Daphne as well. "That's a step forward in the right direction."

"Whatever you need, we'll all be here for you," Daphne said, stepping up. "We're family, after all."

"We already accepted you the moment we learned you had become a sister to Bloom," Vanessa said. "As far as we can tell… you're already a part of the family."

Takatora smiled before tapping Bloom on the shoulder.

"What is it?" Bloom asked.

Takatora held out his Lockseed and clicked it. A light came from it, and went into Bloom. She gasped before seeing the symbol of Zangetsu within her jacket instead of appearing on the outside alongside the symbol of Kamen Rider Ryuki.

"Being the best you can be in a family… that's what earned you my Raidarix," Takatora said. "One of the many from every Rider."

Bloom smiled and nodded. "Thank you." She said.

"Wait," Daphne said, looking around. "What about the Dark Fairy?"

"Don't worry, this place is magically protected after all the attacks the Trix made from my first Alfea year, thanks to Stella and Miss Faragonda," Bloom said. "But I'm sure the Dark Fairy knows that too… and is waiting for us to make our move."

"Right now, there's a threat in Zawame City that requires your attention," Takatora said. "And your friend needs to gain the Raidarix of Gaim in order to put an end to that."

Bloom gasped. "Flora!" she exclaimed.

On Helheim, Flora ran after Miele, who simply walked ahead. As she almost caught up with her, she saw Stormy in the air, and immediately remembered when she struck her, which was when she gained her Enchantix power.

"Miele, look out!" Flora called out, running forward, only to stumble on some roots. She yelled and fell forward, past her sister and down a chasm. She gasped and closed her eyes. "Cosmix!" she called out, transforming into her Cosmix Form and using her wings to break her fall. As she landed, she noticed Stormy now sending forth her attack.

"Stay back!" Miele called out, sending a blast of her own back. Both blasts collided and caused Stormy to disappear, but Miele was sent back, dangling on the edge of the cliff.

"No!" Flora called out, only to see something in front of her. It was some sort of tomb with a large sword against it, as well as a stone case with the outline of a Lockseed and a Sengoku Driver in the middle. "Is that it?" she asked.

All of a sudden, the same cloaked individual from before approached. "Take it and claim your new power," the figure said, revealed to be a male. "Take it now… gain your strength!"

"But Miele…!" Flora started to protest.

"You can choose to let her fall, or take the power," the man said. "But you can't do both."

Flora gasped as she looked to the area containing what was needed to gain her new Raidarix Powers. She looked to it first before seeing Miele continue to dangle. Looking back, she saw the hooded man holding his hand out, as if to offer the power to her.

"You say I can't do both?" Flora asked. "What about my sister?"

"That depends," the hooded man responded. "Is she strong?"

Flora looked to Miele, seeing her now starting to climb up again. Her eyes widened when she remembered how she almost seemed distant from her on the way to meet Kouta.

"All this time, I wanted to look after her… but she was strong on her own," Flora said to herself. "I just… I just never saw it for myself."

"So what will it be, Fairy of Nature?" the man asked. "The power… or the sister?"

Flora narrowed her eyes and took a step forward. She looked up. "Miele! You can do this!" she called out. "You've been capable of this for a long time! You're strong without me to look after you! You can make it! I believe in you!"

Miele looked down and smiled at her sister. Immediately, she let go, and a light shone from her as she fell.

"Miele…" Flora said with wonder.

From the light, Miele was now wearing a white robe over her Fairy form, almost looking angelic. She looked to herself with shock before landing safely on the ground in front of Flora.

"What… what happened?" Flora asked.

"You passed your final test," Miele said. "I guess my own test is complete."

"You mean… you're the real one?" Flora asked as Twinkly suddenly flew down with a Lockseed. "Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see you, but after going through a lot of illusions from the past, I can't tell what's real or not for now."

"I'm real," Miele said. "Kouta had me go through the same paths you went through. I faced your same challenges, and came across the same problems, with similar results that you ended up with."

"Your test was to show you still had humanity, kindness and compassion left, the qualities that Kouta had," the hooded man said as Flora and Miele looked to him. He walked forward and took off his hood, revealing himself to be a Japanese man with a red jacket and brown hair. "All the traits that made himself strong."

"You… you're Kumon Kaito! Kamen Rider Baron!" Flora exclaimed.

"Indeed."

Flora and Miele looked as the alternate Flora and the alternate Helia appeared. Lights shone from them, with Helia revealed to have been Kouta and the alternate Flora to be Mai.

"You did well to pass the tests… both of you." Mai said.

"We saw your progress thanks to Twinkly," Kouta said as Twinkly flew to him, handing him the Lockseed. "Each time you progressed, she reported back to us."

"So… this test…?" Flora started out.

"You needed to show you weren't willing to sacrifice yourself to gain a greater power, as I had to prove to myself long ago," Kouta said, holding out the Lockseed to Flora. "And you've done well in showing those with flying colors. Now… you have earned my Raidarix."

Flora smiled before accepting the Lockseed. She looked to it as it turned to green and magenta, with the symbol of the Winx on it.

"Go forward, and see what else awaits you." Mai said.

"You have proven you are strong," Kaito went on. "You have earned it."

Flora nodded as she walked towards the tomb. Picking up the sword first, it changed form to become a version of the Daidaimaru, only with a smaller version of the large blade on it, done with a majority of orange while the back of the blade was silver with some pink in the middle. She looked to it with awe before looking to the case. Holding her hand out to the outline of the Sengoku Driver, an actual Sengoku Driver appeared, only the knife on it was gold, magenta and green. As soon as she put it on her waist, the Indicator flashed before showing half of the symbol of the Winx Club on it, in a pink color. As soon as they all shone bright, the symbol of Kamen Rider Gaim appeared on her jacket.

"My Raidarix is now yours." Kouta said proudly.

Flora smiled as she turned around. As soon as she did, she bowed. "Thank you, Kouta." She said.

"There's not really a need for that," Kouta said while rubbing the back of his neck. "Right now, I sense something on Earth. We must help our friends."

In Zawame City, Kamen Rider Hades was advancing on the plaza. Everyone noticed him and started to run. However, one woman tripped as he approached. Quickly grabbing a chair, she tossed it at him, but he slashed it apart with his Sword Bringer Bow.

"You shall be the first to fall!" Kamen Rider Hades exclaimed.

All of a sudden, several silver bullets were sent at Kougane and Sid, causing the new Armored Rider to fall back. As he did, Woz appeared with the Shinobi Armor and slashed him, causing him to fall forward as well.

"You okay?" Helia asked, helping the woman up, who nodded afterwards. "Get to safety!" he ordered, to which she did immediately before Donna ran next to him.

"That's as far as you go, Hades." Musa said as she entered in her Den-O Raidarix. She aimed the Raidarix DenKamen Sword dangerously at the Armored Rider before Roxy approached, doing the same with both her Raidarix Saber and the Wing Calibur. The rest of the Winx followed suit, all transformed, save for Stella.

At that moment, Micchi, Peko and Zack walked forward, all with their belts on.

"So, the Armored Riders finally return," Kamen Rider Hades said in his mixed voice. "Finally, we can get the revenge we were promised!"

Zack looked to the Banana Lockseed while feeling the Genesis Core on his Sengoku Driver. "Kaito… let's go!" he called out, crossing it with his Kurumi Lockseed. "Henshin!" he called out before placing both Lockseeds onto the Sengoku Driver and Genesis Core.

KURUMI!

BANANA!

LOCK ON!

"Henshin!" Zack called out, slicing both Lockseeds. As he did, the red Helheim Fruit started to glow, forming a Lockseed that had the helmet of Kamen Rider Baron on it. It flew up and formed over the two Lockseeds before a crack appeared over Zack.

KURUMI ARMS!

BANANA ARMS!

MIX!

BARON ARMS! COME ON!

Zack spread his arms out as the combined Arms formed into the helmet of Kamen Rider Baron and fell on him.

BARON ARMS! KNIGHT OF BA~NANA!

When the Baron Arms lowered onto Zack, it folded out, now giving him the same armor as Knuckles, only with a red and silver pattern. On his helmet were two horns like those of Kamen Rider Baron, and over his arms were his Kurumi Bombers, but one of them held the Bana Spear in it while the other held the Sonic Arrow.

"Nice!" Peko exclaimed before looking to Micchi. "Micchi, let's go too!"

"Agreed," Micchi said as he took out his Budou Lockseed. "Henshin!" he called out, placing it onto the Sengoku Driver.

BUDOU!

LOCK ON!

BUDOU ARMS! RYU HOU HA-HA-HA!

"My turn!" Peko exclaimed, taking out the Matsubokkuri Energy Lockseed and clicking it.

MATSUBOKKURI ENERGY!

"Henshin!" Peko called out, placing the Lockseed into the Genesis Driver.

LIQUID! MATSUBOKKURI ENERGY ARMS! SEI! YOISHŌ! WASSHOI!

While Micchi became Kamen Rider Ryugen, Peko transformed into an upgraded version of Kamen Rider Kurokage, armed with the Kagematsu Shin.

"Koyomi… are you sure about this?" Stella asked as she looked to Kamen Rider Raven.

"You need this power," Koyomi said. "And remember the spell."

Stella nodded before crossing her arm across her chest. "Raidarix Split!" she called out. She spun backwards, and from her original spot, a clone of her appeared.

"MAGIC WINX: RAIDARIX!"

"Kiva!" the second Stella called out as Winx Kivat flew onto her waist.

"Raven!" the real Stella called out, gaining the RavenDriver and placing her hand, now with the Raven Ring, over it.

AZARATH METRI-KAMEN RAIDA! PLEASE!

While the copy of Stella transformed into the Kiva Raidarix Form, the real Stella started to gain a new form.

Stella flew up and raised her arm in the air. A raven flew up and screeched before flying down onto her. Soon, raven wings appeared on her back, which duplicated and folded onto her, giving her Koyomi's robe. As she opened her eyes, red gems appeared on her knees and over her arms, as well as on her chest, just as a hood came over her head. Holding out her hand, the RavenRifleScepter appeared, which she grabbed and spun around. Swinging it down, her eyes glowed, just as the symbol of Raven appeared behind her.

Kamen Rider Hades growled at what had happened before opening fire all around. Musa and the rest of the Winx formed their shields while Helia charged forward, lashing out with his cords. Kougane and Sid punched at him, only for him to backflip and allow Donna and Mirta to slash onto him. He held up his weapon and broke off just as both versions of Stella charged forward, slamming their weapons onto his chest.

Sparks flew as Hades tumbled back, allowing for Peko to slash at him. Woz leapt in and landed a kick while Koyomi spun around, landing a punch at the same time. Kamen Rider Hades knocked the two away, but was unable to see Micchi suddenly open fire on him, followed by Zack sending a punch followed by a jab from the Bana Spear. As soon as both made impact, Stella flew in and used the RavenRifleScepter to blast at Kougane and Sid from above, causing him to roll to the ground.

"Gotta say, Koyomi, this rocks!" Stella exclaimed right as her copy charged in with the Garulu Saber.

"It's still not enough," Koyomi said before looking to Woz. "We need Bloom here."

"Don't worry," Woz said, revealing a page in his book showing a Dimension Wall appearing in Gardenia. "She'll be here soon."

In Gardenia, Bloom, Sakura, Daphne and Takatora all ran down the street. As they turned a corner, the Dark Fairy appeared, her Sword of Shocker rested on her shoulder.

"I was wondering when you would get here." The Dark Fairy remarked.

"How do you plan on getting me to Zawame City?" Bloom asked.

All of a sudden, Woz's scarf flew in. It flew back and forth quickly, creating a Dimension Wall that showed the battle against Kamen Rider Hades.

"Go," Takatora said, taking out his Sengoku Driver. "We will make sure this one doesn't follow you."

"You sure?" Bloom asked.

"We've got this," Sakura said as she took out her Deck. "Go. Help them."

Bloom nodded and placed on a Sengoku Driver of her own. She leapt through with a kicking position, just as the Dimension Wall faded away.

"Once I get through you, Bloom and the Raidarix of Kamen Rider Gaim are next!" the Dark Fairy spat.

"I don't think so." Takatora said, taking out a familiar-looking Lockseed colored in green.

KACHIDOKI!

"That is…!" the Dark Fairy exclaimed in shock as Sakura held her Deck out.

"HENSHIN!" Takatora and Sakura both called out, the former placing the Lockseed onto his Sengoku Driver.

SOIYA! KACHIDOKI ARMS! IZA SHUTZUJIN! EI, EI, OH!

The Kachidoki Arms appeared on Takatora, giving him a green version of the Kachidoki armor used by Kouta. In his left hand was his Melon Defender while his right hand was holding the DJ Gun Sword by the middle handle.

As soon as Takatora was transformed into his Rider Form, Sakura was transformed into Kamen Rider Ryuga.

"That's what I'm talking about!" Daphne exclaimed before she started to glow. "Daphne! Fairy of Domino!" she called out, now starting to transform.

An orange aura surrounded Daphne as she flew into the air. Spinning around, it formed around her, giving her a fiery wardrobe with cloth flowing from behind. She closed her eyes as her signature mask appeared over her face. As soon as it materialized into a fiery texture, she opened her eyes again before her Sirenix Nymph wings appeared on her back.

The Dark Fairy growled before making a salute with the Sword of Shocker. Both Takatora and Sakura saluted back with their own blades before everyone charged, the Dark Fairy slamming her sword onto the Melon Defender immediately before getting blasted away by Daphne.

Back in Zawame City, Kamen Rider Hades was now clashing with Stella Raven and Musa. As the two were being pushed back, Mirta and Roxy leapt in and slashed at him from behind. He turned around and shot them away, but Helia suddenly ran in and landed a punch.

"You'll never get to Flora!" Helia yelled before following through with a series of roundhouse kicks.

Kougane and Sid laughed as they caught Helia's foot before throwing him to the ground. Before they could finish him off, the Dimension Wall appeared, and Bloom leapt out from it, placing her own Melon Lockseed onto her Sengoku Driver before kicking the Armored Rider down.

"Bloom!" Roxy exclaimed as Donna helped her and Mirta up.

"No matter…" Sid's voice said.

"Our power has grown even more!" Kougane remarked, taking out the Ringo Lockseed.

Everyone prepared for the worse until a light shone. They all gasped before Kouta appeared out from it, holding his hand out and crushing the Ringo Lockseed.

"Like I said before, Kougane… there's no real gold in you." Kouta said before Flora and Miele appeared.

"Flora!" Bloom exclaimed happily.

"I got this!" Flora called out, holding her hand out.

A golden light enveloped Kamen Rider Hades. As it shone, Sid was painfully pulled out, and was immediately transformed into his true Rider form, Kamen Rider Sigurd, with Kougane alone now as Kamen Rider Hades.

"Kazuraba Kouta…" Woz said, stepping up. He suddenly felt something and pulled out a Miridewatch, which changed to show the face of a blue Kamen Rider with a samurai helmet that had a crown design on it.

KAMURO!

"Considering Lapis came from an alternate future… you have that now." Kouta said.

"Now that you're alone, Kougane…" Flora said, stepping up with her new Lockseed. "It's my stage now!" she exclaimed before clicking the Lockseed.

WINX!

"Magic Winx: Raidarix!" Flora called out, placing the Lockseed onto her Sengoku Driver and clicking it.

LOCK ON!

"Gaim!" Flora announced before slicing the Lockseed. As soon as she did, she started to glow.

Flora flew up, the Arms all around her. Continuing to fly, a pink orange appeared above, with fairy wings on it. She curled up and entered it before breaking free, all of it now covering her in blue Rider armor. She looked down, eyes closed, as an orange-patterned chest-plate appeared on her chest, with the symbol of Kamen Rider Gaim appearing below it. On her shoulders appeared pads also designed after oranges before golden pads appeared over her lower legs, forming boots that resembled the leg area of Gaim. As she spread her arms out, orange wings resembling orange slices with a net-like pattern appeared on her back. Holding out her left hand, her sword she gained, the KajitsuMaru, appeared, before using her right hand to reach for her side, where a green, magenta and gold version of the Musou Saber appeared. Pulling it out, she thrust it forward while resting the KajitsuMaru on her shoulder.

"Whoa…" Helia said with awe.

"If you and she weren't already a couple, Helia… I'd say she's hot." Donna chimed in.

"Ah, so here we have it," Woz said. "Now this is a moment that must be proclaimed!" he announced before stepping forward as Kouta summoned his DJ Saber in his right hand. "Iwae!" he called out. "The ones to next inherit the powers of all Riders, ascending beyond time and space! The next Raidarix has been obtained from the next Man of the Beginning, the victor of the Golden Fruit War, Kamen Rider Gaim, and his power goes to Flora, the Fairy of Nature. Ascending from a greater power, she stands before you as Flora Gaim Raidarix Form. The stage is set for her, so Just Live More as she inherits the next of many Heisei Riders' powers!"

"My turn now!" Bloom called out, slicing the Melon Lockseed on her Sengoku Driver.

MELON!

"Magic Winx: Raidarix!" Bloom called out before spreading her arms out.

LOCK ON!

"Zangetsu!"

Bloom charged forward, a white bodysuit appearing over her. She flew up and gained the Melon Defender in her left hand before pulling out the Musou Saber from it. As she did, the Melon Arms chestplate appeared over her chest while her boots turned gold, same with the bands over her arms. She spread her arms out, just as wings both resembling the symbol of Kamen Rider Zangetsu appeared on her back.

Sid groaned as he got up. "So… it comes to this, huh?" he asked, swinging across his Sonic Arrow. He tossed aside his hat and growled. "Finally… I will get the Golden Fruit!"

"Not today." Kouta said before snapping his fingers.

At that moment, a Crack appeared over where Takatora, Daphne and Sakura were battling the Dark Fairy. As soon as all four of them clashed together, they went through the Crack, and soon, they appeared in Zawame City.

"The stage is all ours now!" Flora called out, getting up and swinging her two swords down.

"You go, Flora!" Miele called out.

"Everyone… let's go!" Kouta called out before swiping his hands over the Sengoku Driver, holding his Kachidoki and Kiwami Lockseeds on it. "Henshin!"

KIWAMI ARMS! DAI! DAI! DAI! DAI! DAI SHOGUN!

As soon as Kouta activated his Lockseeds, all of the Arms fell onto him, transforming him into his Kiwami Arms form. Swinging the DJ Saber once again, everyone lined up, staring down the Armored Riders and the Dark Fairy.

(Play Just Live More)

Flora, Kouta, Helia, Miele, Zack and Peko all ran at Kamen Rider Hades, clashing with him head-on while Sid activated his custom Lockseed, summoning three Suika Arms drones. Musa, Stella, Tecna, Aisha, Roxy, Donna, and Mirta all flew to fight them before Bloom, Micchi, Woz and Koyomi ran in to help Takatora, Sakura and Daphne in their fight against the Dark Fairy.

Kougane split his Sword Bringer Bow into two swords, clashing with Kouta and Zack at both sides. As he held them, Flora flew in and cut her Lockseed thrice on the Sengoku Driver.

WINX SPARKING!

Kougane broke off and attempted to strike at Flora, but her Arms formed over her head and turned into her Fairy wings, which spun and slashed at him before Miele flew underneath her, sending forth a blast that sent him back. As he was being sent away, Flora's Arms formed back and she leapt in front of him. Once landing, she slashed at him before opening fire with the Raidarix Musou Saber.

"My turn!" Zack called out, tossing the Bana Spear.

Flora grinned and flew back. "Fruitful Kick!" she called out, spinning around and letting an orange glow come from her foot. Once the Bana Spear was next to her, she kicked it right into the ground. It slid as it carved its way towards Kougane, eventually flying up and going through his body, causing sparks to fly.

"Peko!" Kouta called out as he held up the DJ Saber while summoning an Arms weapon.

DAIDAIMARU!

Placing the Daidaimaru into his left hand, Kouta attached it to the end of his DJ Gun Saber. As he spun it around, a Kagematsu flew to his hand before Peko ran and slashed at Kougane. As he backed away, Kouta slashed from the side, where Miele flew and let a pair of angelic wings appear behind her.

"Helheim Wind!" Miele called out, sending forth a gust of parts of Helheim Fruits at Kougane. He slashed through most of them before Flora appeared and stabbed her KajitsuMaru into the ground.

"Roar of Yuuya!"

Energy versions of the different parts of Orange Arms sprung from the ground and lashed at Kougane endlessly before Helia grabbed him with his cords and spun him to the side.

Micchi leapt into the air as Daphne flew alongside him. As her hands glowed, he pulled back on the Budou Ryuhou and fired alongside her, causing Kamen Rider Sigurd to dodge to the side. Unfortunately for him, Donna and Roxy were waiting for him, and slashed him away while Musa was now using her Raidarix DenKamen Sword as an Axe. As she struck one Suika Drone away, another punched at her, but she caught its arm and threw it back.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!" Stella called out, sending forth a blast from the RavenRifleScepter in Rifle Mode. A swarm of ravens flew out and attacked Sid right before the Kiva version of Stella shot at him with the Bassha Magnum.

Aisha backflipped and cartwheeled away from the attacks of another one of the Suika Drones before performing a cartwheel kick, flipping the drone backwards. As she recovered, she took out her Wing Calibur and slammed it into the ground, causing the Abyssodon to surge through before rising up and destroying it.

"Particle Net!" Tecna called out, forming a Particle Net over the next Suika Drone, trapping it as all ends of the Net were pinned to the ground.

"Let's go!" the Kiva Stella called out.

"RAIDARIX FINISH!"

VERY NICE! KICK STRIKE! HUAH!

Both versions of Stella flew up before falling for a Double Rider Kick, the Kiva Stella with Hell's Gate open while the Raven Stella gained a giant raven on her foot. Both yelled as they crashed through the next Suika Drone, destroying it. Once the smoke from the explosion cleared away, Stella was now back whole.

"Come on!" Musa called out, swiping her Pass over her buckle.

FULL CHARGE!

"Raidarix Finish! Hissatsu Waza!" Musa called out as the blade from her Raidarix DenKamen Sword detached. She spun it around before striking at her Suika Drone, which then hit Kamen Rider Sigurd.

Donna backflipped from Sid's next shot before catching the blade with her sword-axe. Twirling it around, she sent it to Roxy and Mirta.

Mirta sent a blast at Sid while Roxy slashed at him in the back. Both caught it with their own blades before sending it at him, which was redirected back at Musa.

Musa caught the blade and sent it into the air. Letting out a yell, she brought it down, causing it to cut through both the last Suika Drone and Kamen Rider Sigurd. Sid yelled before both her and his last drone exploded, his Lockseed and Genesis Driver being the only things that remained of him.

Flora ducked from another one of Kougane's attacks just as Bloom and Takatora clashed with the Dark Fairy. She backflipped just as Kougane ran to attack. The three switched enemies briefly, Flora locking with the Dark Fairy while Bloom held her own Musou Saber against Kougane, while Takatora locked with his DJ Gun Saber. They broke off and reengaged with their original opponents, Bloom opening fire on the Dark Fairy.

Sakura ran in and summoned her Drag Claw. She first punched the Dark Fairy to where Daphne was waiting before both sisters of Bloom shot streams of fire at her. She used both the Sword of Shocker and the Arc Trident to block the attacks just as the Melon Defenders of Bloom and Takatora flew and struck through her.

The Dark Fairy growled before Bloom opened fire again. As the Dark Fairy deflected the shots, Takatora blocked her next attack. She gasped and struck several more times, but only found herself getting pushed back as he simply used his own Melon Defender to fend off. Finally, he blocked her next strike with his DJ Gun Saber, still holding it by the middle handle. Without even so much as a struggle, he pushed her off, causing sparks to fly as Woz and Koyomi both opened fire on her.

"Flora, here!" Miele called out before Kougane slashed at her. She looked up and easily caught the blade with her recessive hand before tossing something towards Flora, which glowed brightly.

Flora smiled before catching what Miele threw. Looking to it, she saw that it was her own Kiwami Lockseed.

"Thanks, Miele!" Flora called out before spreading her arms out. "Nature's Fruition!"

Vines grew out and attacked Kougane just as Miele threw him off. As he struggled to stop the vines from attacking, Kouta leapt in with a Rider Kick, followed by Peko and Zack slashing at him.

Flora placed the Kiwami Lockseed next to her own, activating it.

"Magic Winx: Raidarix! Gaim Kiwami!" Flora called out.

KIWAMI ARMS! DAI! DAI! DAI! DAI! DAI SHOGUN!

Flora spread her arms out as all fruits surrounded her. Running forward before flying up, they all entered her, giving her a form that resembled Gaim's Kiwami Arms. She flew in a loop before coming down, now holding a pink version of the DJ Gun with her KajitsuMaru.

"No!" Kougane exclaimed, sending several blasts at Flora.

Flora spun around the KajitsuMaru, causing energy slashes resembling orange slices to fly out. They all countered the blasts before she slashed the Sword Bringer into its sword components. As soon as she landed, she stabbed him in the chest before tossing the weapon aside, now taking out her Raidarix Musou Saber and combining it with her DJ Gun.

Now with the DJ Gun Saber, Flora sent several slashes at Kougane, who tried his best to fend off against her. She managed to break through each of his defenses before eventually dashing through and punching him away.

"Now!" Zack called out, slicing his Lockseeds twice.

BARON AU LAIT!

Zack leapt up and tossed the Bana Spear at Kougane, impaling him. Afterwards, he leapt down and sent a powered punch from his Kurumi Bombers, sending him back in a small explosion, his weapons falling to the side.

Bloom flew alongside Takatora and shot at the Dark Fairy as she was continuing to be pushed back. Soon, Takatora managed to slash her weapons away before kicking her backwards.

"Bloom-San… let's go!" Takatora called out as he removed the Kachidoki Lockseed from his Driver to place onto the DJ Saber.

"Right with you!" Bloom exclaimed before slicing her Sengoku Driver twice. "Raidarix Finish!"

1! 10! 100! 1,000! 10,000! 100,000,000! 1,000,000,000,000! MURYŌDAISŪ: KACHIDOKI CHARGE!

MELON AU LAIT!

Koyomi scanned her Ring over her RavenDriver while Woz pulled the lever on his Beyondriver.

NICELY DONE! SLASHING STRIKE! HUAH!

BEYOND THE TIME! EXPLOSION!

"Kouta… let's go!" Flora called out as Kouta ran alongside her.

"Yeah!" Kouta called out before he and Flora both initiated their Finishers.

"Raidarix Finish!"

KIWAMI SQUASH!

RAIDARIX WINX! KIWAMI SQUASH!

Bloom charged up her Musou Saber while Takatora's DJ Gun Saber charged up. Both sent energy slashes at the Dark Fairy just as Koyomi and Woz landed their Rider Kicks, all the attacks sending the Dark Fairy back in an explosion.

"Raidarix Orange Zenith Kick!" Flora called out.

Kouta and Flora both leapt up, their legs charging up. As Kougane tried to prepare himself for a counterattack, both of them landed their Rider Kicks, causing an explosion that sent him towards the Dark Fairy just as she was attacked.

(End Song)

Everyone watched as Kougane got up weakly. The Dark Fairy now recovered and glared down at him. She looked to where Sid's remains were and picked up his Lockseed before looking back to Kougane.

"Grant me more power…" Kougane panted. "Let me… embody the power of the Golden Fruit!"

"You are a martyr only for yourself." The Dark Fairy spat before stabbing her Sword of Shocker into his belt.

Everyone gasped as the energy from Kougane left him, leaving him as wilted remains on the ground. Soon, the Dark Fairy had both the Cherry and Dragon Energy Lockseeds, as well as the Ringo and Darkness Lockseeds, in her hands, which were then absorbed into her. When they cleared, she held the Darkness Arms naginata and Sonic Arrow in her hands, with the Sword Bringer and Apple Deflector on her back.

"The next ones… I'm so close." The Dark Fairy proclaimed before fading away, leaving black flaming feathers behind her.

"I should have known she would escape." Koyomi said.

"It would have happened no matter what, I take it?" Flora asked.

"Yes," Koyomi said as Bloom finally took notice of her. "And now that you know which Raidarix you must earn and that Stella has mine, I must take my leave."

"Whoa!" Bloom exclaimed. "You guys never told me you were working with a Teen Titan here!"

"To be honest, it's a surprise to us all." Roxy said.

"I'm not all that familiar with them, but if they are as famous as you make them out to be, then this is the best first mission I've ever had." Mirta mused.

"Oh, by the way…" Koyomi said, tossing a Ridewatch to Woz. He looked to it to see it had her Rider helmet on it. "When you find Zi-O for his Raidarix… you'll know what to do with that." She said before flying up.

"Azarath Metrion Zinthos!"

Everyone watched as Koyomi summoned a large raven. Flying on top of it, she disappeared through a Dimension Wall.

"Wait… which Raidarix do we have to gain next?" Bloom asked.

"That can wait for now," Flora said as everyone ejected from their Rider and Fairy forms respectively. She looked to Helia and smiled before doing the same with Miele. "Right now, we could use a little break."

"Of course," Micchi said, looking to Kouta. "Stay a little longer here this time?" he asked.

"Not without me," Mai said, appearing from a Crack. "We hardly get to have enough time together whenever we visit Earth."

"Amen to that," Flora agreed. She took out her Winx Lockseed and smiled as she looked at it, eventually seeing the symbol of Gaim glow on her jacket. "With four Raidarix down, I'd say we earned ourselves some time off."

"Believe it," Donna said. "And I liked this first mission too," she agreed, winking at Roxy. "So… what do you do after each mission?" she asked. "There some sort of pizza place we can go to? I get tired of always getting drinks with the guys."

"You said you liked those!" Helia said with slight disbelief.

"You think I like everything the Specialists do?" Donna asked as some of the group started to lightly laugh. "From what I was told, Aisha taught you all how to ride a bike."

"That she did." Stella said with a grin.

"Well, while I'm here, how about we all have a good meal back in Gardenia?" Daphne asked. "I'd like to know more about the Raidarix if my sisters are in the middle of it."

"Take a seat," Bloom teased. "You're in for quite the stories."

Woz smiled before looking to the Raven Ridewatch. He looked to each of the Winx, while also checking the different Rider Crests in his book to see who would get it. Unfortunately, it did not respond to any of them.

"It seems we still have a ways to go," Woz said before seeing a Rider Crest glow. Holding up his book, he saw it resonated with Aisha, just like when she was making her call to the Specialists. "Ah… she's next."

Within the book, between the Rider Crests of Kamen Riders Ryuki and Blade, Kamen Rider Faiz's symbol glowed, which was slightly showing on Aisha's jacket.

The Near Future…

Koyomi emerged from the Dimension Wall and reverted out of her Rider Form. She took a deep breath before walking past several heroes and Riders, all talking with each other inside of a large tower. Soon, she made her way to the top at the Command Center, where a teen with a dark-green jacket and a magenta streak on it, as well as a 10 on the side, was waiting, the Neo Decadriver on his waist.

"Gonna have to thank Paradox for teaching me time travel," Koyomi said. "The Winx got the message about what they need to do next, and I gave them my Ridewatch. Their place in history is already being made. Good call on making sure they stay on the right path, Ben."

"Good work," Ben said as he walked towards Koyomi. "The Winx Club will need all the help they can get when the war catches up with them."

Koyomi nodded. "The sooner, the better." She agreed.

Present…

Back in Gardenia, Mike and Vanessa were presenting all the Winx, as well as Mirta, Woz and Donna, with several boxes of pizza while they were eating fruit tarts.

"Thanks, Mom," Sakura said before seeing a smile on Bloom's face. "It's a decision I would have come to… on my own terms… but thank you, Bloom."

"Don't mention it." Bloom teased.

"Terra called, and she'll be here to pick you up after the concert," Flora said to Miele, who was talking with Roxy and Donna before Helia walked over. "You sure you don't want to help out more? We could use you."

"I think I'm good for now." Miele said.

Kouta walked over, now with his black hair back, the same with Mai, both wearing their original Team Gaim jackets.

"How do we look?" Kouta asked.

"Ready to take the stage." Flora said.

"Go for it!" Miele cheered.

Kouta and Mai smiled before running outside, where a stage had been set, with Zack, Peko and Micchi on it. A crowd that had gathered cheered as the Winx appeared with instruments.

"Here we go!" Bloom called out, starting the music for Teams Gaim and Baron to dance to.

In a cave, the Dark Fairy was looking at the different Rider Crests from the Raidarix powers she had gained. She narrowed her eyes at all of them before waving her hand, causing them to fly back into her again.

"It's still not enough. As good as these powers are, they are nowhere near as good for replacements for the ones I need to completely become whole again," the Dark Fairy said. She turned to the side, where a series of Dimension Walls were. Turning more, she looked to see the symbol of Kamen Rider Faiz glowing. Letting out a slight grunt, she walked through a portal, where a white Kamen Rider with blue outlines and slight purple on his visor and chest was standing next to a decapitated Kamen Rider Faiz.

"I have a job for you. And this time… you get to murder Faiz for good."

The Kamen Rider chuckled.

"Name it."

The Winx try to rest from their past missions, but the calling of a new Raidarix for Aisha gets in their way. While a man named Inui Takumi comes to assist them, a familiar face thought to be dead returns, and Aisha must make a choice to move to the future or go back to the man from her past.
