The three heroes roll on the ground, but quickly get up. "You humans are tough, I'll give you that." Zervas said as he pulls out a card printed with an image of a red amphibian humanoid named "GELNEWT". He slides the card into a device on his left wrist and closes it. "Attack Vent." a robotic voice announced. Manifesting around him is an army of these creatures, armed with giant crosses.
The Gelnewts charge at the heroes, who again take arms. Tsukasa shoots them from as Finn and Jake takes on most of the horde using Finn's flawless swordsmanship and Jake straight up slamming them into the ground. "Is that all you got?" Finn taunted. "Cutting loose ends is harder than I remembered." Zervas said to himself. He holds up a card of a brown insectoid monster labelled "SONORA BOOMER".
Before he could use it, he is shot in the shoulder. He sees Tsukasa marching towards him with his smoking blaster. "Xaviax, I've heard of that name before. You're not from this universe either." Tsukasa said. "The great General Xaviax will rise once more to lead Karsh." Zervas said. "I never met him, but I know him well enough to know you have to be stopped." Tsukasa commented.
"Then you know how powerful we are." Zervas said before rushing at Tsukasa. The human quickly grabs Zervas' shoulders to vault over him, and then kicks him in the back. With Zervas down, Tsukasa pulls out his magenta belt buckle before Jake is thrown into his face by a Gelnewt. "Whoops, sorry man." Jake apologized as he got off his face. "Ugh, you got fur in my mouth!" Tsukasa said in disgust.
When Zervas gets up, Finn quickly sprints by, slashing him in the side before he joins Jake and Tsukasa. "You're not even Kamen Riders and you're already a bother!" Zervas said in frustration. He pulls out the spikes from the back of his head and throws them at the heroes. "Shield Vent." a robotic voice said as a red figure dash in front of the heroes, deflecting the spikes. "Dragon Knight…" Zervas said in disdain.
The hero who saved the three is a Kamen Rider wearing red armour with black plating, a helmet with red bug eyes under a grill visor, armed with a tower shield resembling the scales of a dragon, with two claws on the side. "You're a hard man to find, Zervas." Kamen Rider Dragon Knight said. Zervas is struck from behind by another sword attack and is knocked down once more. He looks up to see a black-and-magenta Kamen Rider with a face patterned after a clock, and eyes made from Japanese writing. "[Remember me? I'm Kamen Rider Zi-O!]" the clock-faced Kamen Rider told Zervas.
"How could I forget?" Zervas said as he quickly inserts a card labelled "NASTY VENT" and slides it into the reader. A loud screech is emitted from his armour, causing everyone to kneel in pain. After the sound subsides, they find Zervas gone. "We've lost him again." Kamen Rider Dragon Knight sighed. He removes a black box with a golden dragon emblem from his belt, reverting him to a Caucasian man with short brown hair and light stubble, wearing a black jacket with red stripes on the sleeves.
Kamen Rider Zi-O runs to them and reverts to a pink-shirted young man. "We saw him when we arrived here." Jake realized. "Hisashiburi." Tsukasa said to the two. "Decade, it's been a while." Kamen Rider Dragon Knight greeted Tsukasa. "[You know him too?]" Kamen Rider Zi-O asked Tsukasa. "Tsukasa, mind introducing us?" Finn requested.
"Finn, Jake, this is Tokiwa Sougo and Kit Taylor: Kamen Rider Zi-O and Dragon Knight. [Zi-O, this is Finn and Jake. They're my new friends.]" Tsukasa introduced the two parties. "[I remember seeing you two.]" Sougo commented. "[Same here. You got time powers too?]" Jake asked in Japanese. Sougo was stunned to see a dog talk, but Kit merely brushed it aside. "A kid and his talking dog, a duo as old as Saturday morning cartoons." Kit chuckled.
"Mind explaining what's happening? We're a little outta the loop." Finn asked Kit. "Who's Zervas, and why does he have Another Zi-O?" Tsukasa asked. "He's a Lieutenant from Karsh, served directly under Xaviax. He came to Ventara for the Kamen Riders in revenge for destroying Xaviax. Sougo and I met after Zervas came to fight me, Len, and Brian." Kit explained. "I thought you destroyed the Karshian Northern Army?" Tsukasa questioned. "That's what we thought, but Zervas was apparently the last one. He was arrested by the Southern Army since before Eubulon left the planet and only escaped recently." Kit explained.
"How did he find out about the Another Riders?" Finn asked. "Another Dragon Knight." Sougo answered. "There was an Another Rider in your world too?" Tsukasa asked Kit. "I didn't even know what it was. Before it could do real damage, Sougo destroyed it." Kit explained. "How did it come to your universe? It's almost detached from the greater multiverse." Tsukasa asked Kit.
"I dunno, but Zervas saw it and got the bright idea to find Another Zi-O." Kit answered. "He found it in our universe and used it to pull Another OOO from the past." Finn explained. "I believe he's trying to bring something from the past." Tsukasa said. "Xaviax, of course. He said so in some monologue last we saw him." Kit explained. "He wasn't feeling so chatty when we met." Jake commented.
"[Geiz and Len are looking for him too, but they haven't found any clue as to where he's based.]" Sougo said. "This world's Mirror World?" Tsukasa asked Kit. "Nothing. Nobody there's seen him." Kit answered. "We can't wait for him to show up again to kill us." Finn said. "Let's get outta here first." Jake suggested.
The five leave the area, leaving behind scorch marks and destroyed equipment. Also left behind is Kamen Rider ChopHopper, who was just now released from his bubble, sending him slamming into the ground face-first. A man wearing a long black leather jacket approaches and looks down at him. "[You're terrible at walking the path to Hell.]" the man told the alien. "[I wanna go home…]" Kamen Rider ChopHopper whined.
The five are sitting at a food truck park eating donuts from a small pink food truck. "How much English do you know?" Finn asked Sougo. "Little bit." Sougo answered. "This is a world filled with Kamen Riders, huh? If this wasn't a mission, I'd love to meet them." Kit said. "Maybe we could get help from one of them? What about OOO?" Finn asked. "He's likely overseas. There's plenty others running around, but we should find them quickly if we need their help." Tsukasa said.
"Kit called you Decade. Is that another prophecy thing?" Jake asked as he ate a kebab in a box labelled "RYUSO-KEBAB". Suddenly, the people start screaming and fleeing from something. The heroes turn their attention to a pair of monsters walking towards them. One is a silver beetle-like monster with knight armour, and another is a ghastly samurai wearing armour patterned after rotting oranges. "Another Blade to Another Gaim!" Sougo noted.
Sougo and Kit line up and prepare to transform. Sougo holds out a watch bearing Kamen Rider Zi-O's face and turns it like a dial before pressing a button. "Zi-O!" a dramatic voice announced before Sougo inserts it into the right side of a watch-shaped belt. Kit holds out the black box and it creates a silver belt around his waist. A massive clock manifests behind Sougo as Kit inserts the box into his belt, spinning rapidly in place.
"Henshin!" "Kamen Rider" the two yelled. Rings form around the two, manifesting armour over their bodies as Japanese letters pop out of the giant clock and slam into Kamen Rider Zi-O's face before it dematerializes. "I remember when I had a convoluted transformation sequence." Jake said before swallowing his kebab whole. "Let's get back to work." Finn said as he pulls out his Night Sword. Before they could move in, Tsukasa stops them.
"I'm sorry, but I can't allow you to fight them. We have to go." Tsukasa warns them. "Why? They're just more monsters." Finn said. "We don't have time. We have to find Zervas!" Tsukasa said. Kamen Rider Zi-O and Kamen Rider Dragon Knight move in to fight the Another Riders with their swords, clashing them upon impact. Finn sees the fight and sees the samurai using the Finn Sword, last seen embedded in the Fern Tree.
"Tsukasa, who is that? Why do they have the Finn Sword?!" Finn demanded. Kamen Rider Dragon Knight is pushed back to the table by Another Gaim, who darts its head to Finn. It swings the Finn Sword at Finn, who pushes Tsukasa out of the way to fling it away with his robot arm. Finn then spin kicks Another Gaim in the face, cracking part of its face. It breaks away to reveal a familiar face underneath.
"Fern?!" Finn exclaimed. "Help me!" Fern screamed before the face reconstitutes and Another Gaim attacks. Finn could only freeze in shock as Another Gaim leaps at him, only to be carried away by Kamen Rider Dragon Knight riding a red robot dragon. Finn is then dragged away by Tsukasa and Jake, and flee the scene. They run further into the city where they stop outside a convenience store.
"Fern… how…?" Finn said in shock. "The powers of Kamen Rider Gaim possessed the tree that was planted in the remains of your old home. He nearly killed you if it weren't for me. Again, you're welcome." Tsukasa said. "What about the other one?" Jake asked. Tsukasa turns around to avoid the question. "Tsukasa, who's Another Blade?" Finn asked demandingly.
"It's you. You're Another Blade, the last I fought before Another Zi-O." Tsukasa answered. "I see where this is going. If those two touches, then there'll be another Finn Sword." Jake suggested. "Zervas is smart, using time paradoxes to get rid of you." Tsukasa said to Finn. "How did it go? How did you beat me?" Finn asked. "Easily." Tsukasa answered.
The convenience store doors slam open as a beady-eyed red demon with silver fangs bursts out of the building. "Omaeee!" the demon screamed in a menacing, yet comical voice. Finn and Jake prepare for battle before being stopped by Tsukasa. "Hisashiburi, Momotaros." Tsukasa greeted the demon. It grabs Tsukasa by his collars and holds him up.
"[You, did you have anything to do with this?!]" Momotaros asked Tsukasa. "[What did I do?]" Tsukasa asked Momotaros. "[That hideous castle in the Sands of Time! Is that yours?!]" Momotaros asked Tsukasa. "[Why blame me?]" Tsukasa asked. "[That raincoat guy said everything is your fault!]" Momotaros answered.
Tsukasa karate chops Momotaros' wrists to release himself. "I know where Zervas is. He can take us there." Tsukasa informed the two. "Who is he?" Jake asked. "This is Momotaros, Kamen Rider Den-O." Tsukasa answered as a futuristic horn blows. Emerging from a rainbow portal in the sky is a set of train tracks unravelling down to the pavement, followed by a futuristic white bullet train with a red cockpit.
"Another flying train! Rad." Finn commented. Tsukasa drags the heroes into the train as Momotaros chases after them. "[Oi, no dogs allowed!]" Momotaros shouted as he jumps into the train car. "[Just start the thing.]" Tsukasa told Momotaros. The train powers up with another blow of its strange horn and pushes forward into another rainbow portal, disappearing as the rails demanifest.
Kamen Rider Zi-O continues fighting Another Blade in the middle of a park, when six rainbow flashes jump in and strikes the monster repeatedly. The six shapes land between the two as Another Blade falls to one knee. "[Who are you?]" Kamen Rider Zi-O asked them. The figures stand up, revealing to be the Super Megaforce Power Rangers. "[We are the Super Mega Rangers. We are here to help.]" Red Ranger introduces his team.
