" It's been a weak since Spike had died and Jessikah defeated that Bugster. Things had been quiet around CR , but Jessikah can't help but feel on edge. Ever since that Genm keeps popping up."
"Are you okay Jessikah?" Poppy asks walking in.
"Not really. I've been thinking about the black Ex-aid. Why attack us?" Jessikah remarks rattling her brain trying to figure it out. Suddenly, an alarm starts going off. " Great" Jessikah sighs.
"We got a call from a patient infected the Bugster Virus." Poppy remarks as Jessikah grabs her Gamer Driver and joins Poppy in the elevator. Jessikah had been fighting the Bugsters by herself since Spike died, the bugsters were starting to get over whelming.
Meanwhile…
"Star what do you think we'll find here in a graveyard?" Tori asks kinda freaked out when Starsuddenly stops in front of two graves.
"Look at the names." Star retorts while Tori reads the names.
"Kuroto Moana , Kiriya. Star, these are -".
"Our parents. They died on Zero Day after CR did nothing to save them." Star remarks bitterly.
"I wasn't aware your parents died on Zero Day, I'm sorry. As I'm sure your aware now, the Kamen Rider at the time focused on saving himself that day, not others. CR had nothing to do with him." Tori explains to Star who nods.
"I know, that's why you and Poppy are still alive. Let this serve as a warning for that Jessikah and whoever takes up the mantle of Ex-Aid. If they shows any signs if anything. Like my father I will kill him." Star warns walking away from the graves.
Meanwhile…
"Are you sure this is the place?" Jessikah asks as she and Poppy wander around the park searching for the new patient.
"HELP, HELP PLEASE!" A man shouts running towards us with a woman in his arms.
"Yeah, I'm sure." Poppy remarks pointing to the Bugster and people surrounding it.
"What is surrounding that Bugster?" Jessikah asks confused as the man reaches them.
"Yes, everything will be okay now. Poppy see to the patient i will handle the situation." Jessikah orders Poppy who takes the man as Jessikah grabs her Gamer Driver and putting it on her waist while pressing the button on her Gashat. "Henshin!"
"TADDLE QUEST!"
"GASHATTO! LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'm a Kamen Rider."
"Let's do this." Jessikah mutters to herself charging at the Bugsters. The bugster minions charge with spears which Jessikah able to dodge and punch some of them. The Bugster charges picking her up and throwing Jessikah into the ground. Jessikah slowly gets back up.
"This is pitiful." A weirdly dressed man with short black spikey hair remarks walking slowly up to Jessikah.
"Get out of here it's not safe!" Jessikah shouts at him making him sigh.
"I guess I have to leave." He says turning around and pulling out a Gamer Driver and a Gashat. Poppy runs up to Jessikah and looks at the man in disbelief.
"Huh? how did you get a Gamer Driver?" Poppy asks sounding aggressive.
"Ooh, such hostility. I guess you really don't want me to help you. Too bad, I was hoping on working with you. I guess I'll have to beat you as well." Tomh remarks disappointed before pointing his Gashat at the Bugster and pressing the button.
"BANG BANG SHOOTING!"
"Henshin."
"GASHATTO! LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'm a Kamen Rider."
"GASHACON MAGNUM!"
Tommy charges at the Bugster shooting it away from us and the patient. Suddenly, the patient starts going into shock in the man's arms.
"Somethings stressing her out." Poppy remarks to Jessikah as Tommy presses the B button on his weapon releasing a massive blast destroying the Bugster's basic form. It then reforms into its main form. The patient then begins going into more of a seizure as Tommy shoots the Bugster. "Tommy you have to stop using your gun! It's stressing out the patient!"
"How about you shut up and stay out of my way? I'll defeat this Bugster and then I'll take your Gashat." Tommy retorts rudely continuing to shoot the Bugster when suddenly the Bugster's eyes light up and more weird looking minions start rising from the ground.
"More Bugsters?" Jessikah asks curiously as they all begin shooting Tommy with the rifles they materialized with.
"The stress is powering the Bugster, I'll get the patient out of here!" Poppy remarks panicky escorting the man and the patient to the car.
"Now this is getting interesting. Just you and me Brave 2nd tactic." Tommy remarks opening his Gamer Driver. Jesiskah runs beside him pulling her Driver open as well.
"LEVEL UP! BANG, BANG, BANG! BANG, BANG, BANG! BANG BANG SHOOTING!"
"LEVEL UP! TADDLE QUEST TADDLE QUEST WELCOME TO TADDLE QUEST!"
As Tommy is about to charge forward to attack the Bugster, he's blasted back. Jessikah looks around and sees the black Ex-aid aka Genm with her weird device trained on Tommy. She fires and I jump in front of the blast hitting it back with my sword.
"Who are you!?" Jessikah demands holding her sword in front of her in case he shoots again. Tommy pushes me out of the way and begins shooting at the black Ex-aid.
"I don't care who are, but your Gashat is mine as well." Tommy retorts confidently running after the black Ex-aid leaving Jessikahwith the Bugster.
"It looks like it's just you and me human. Spell cast: Bind!" The Bugster remarks thrusting his staff forward and releasing a tentacle from it that immediately wraps Jessikah up. "Spell cast: Shock!"
An electrical shock is sent through the tentacle blasting Jessikah out of the bind but de-transforming me.
"I would stick around and finish you off, but I have more important things to do." The Bugster gloats disappearing. Jessikah then hear Poppy running up behind me distressed.
"Are you alright?" Poppy asks worried helping me off the ground.
"I'll be fine, but the Bugster got away." Jessikah explains disappointed that She wasn't able to finish it off.
After explaining to Poppy where Tommy went, we got back in the car and headed back to CR headquarters where The director awaits.
"You just let him go?" The director shouts suddenly slamming his fist on the table after Jessikah had finished explaining what had happened.
"I did everything I could against the Bugster Director, I would like to see you do better." Jessikah remarks harsher than She had intended.
"I wasn't talking about the Bugster! You let that man get away!" The director shouts again standing up and grabbing jessikah by her shirt.
"Director stop!" Poppy demands pushing The director away from Jessikah. The director storms off. " We could use Ex-Aid " Poppy says sadly
"Who's Tommy?" Jessikah asks Poppy tiredly.
"Tommy...is complicated. We told you about Zero Day, the day where the Bugsters first manifested and manifested in bulk, but we didn't tell you the whole story. During Zero Day, CR had a prototype Gashat ready and a doctor selected." Poppy explains obviously bringing up bad memories.
"Tommy was that doctor." I finish to which Poppy nods.
"The prototype Gashat infected him with the Bugster Virus and he defected to deal with his own virus letting hundreds die. Thankfully, his old friends the Power Rangers had procured the cure and administered it to the patients who were still alive. We stripped him of his doctor's license and took his Gamer Driver the former power ranger didnt take it well." Poppy finishes looking distraught.
"So, how did he get his Gamer Driver?" Jessikah asks curiously when suddenly the patient begins waking up.
"Where… am I?" The woman asks curiously.
"You're at CR. We're gonna treat your sickness." Poppy explains as we walk over to the hospital bed.
"Sickness?"
"Yes, you've been infected with Game Disease. But don't worry, we're at work curing it." Jessikah explains comforting her when She notices her ring. "Was that man with you your husband?"
"Yes, we just got married a week." She replies blushing lightly.
"Is there anything that could be stressing you out? The virus feeds off stress and it would help if we could calm you down." Poppy asks kindly.
"There's nothing you can do regarding my stress. My husband was called back to the military to do another tour in Afghanistan." The woman explains with a sad expression across her face. Just as Jessikah is about to try to comfort her the monitor in the main room lights up showing Tommy.
"Hey CR! So, I have a proposition which I think you will find interesting and worth your time Brave" Tommy remarks as Poppy and Jessikah run over to the monitor.
"What is it Tommy ?" Jesiskah asks aggressively.
"Why so hostile? Ah, I see Poppy told you about Zero Day. Anyways, I propose a competition between us. Whoever beats the Bugster wins. If I win I take your Gashat." Tommy explains arrogantly.
"What's in it for me?" Jessikah asks curiously.
"If you win, I will give you my Gashat and the identity of the black Ex-aid." Tommy remarks smirking as he leans back in his chair. "What will it be Brave?"
"I take you up on our offer!" Jessikah says without hesitation making Poppy look at her surprised.
"Jesiskah , you can't! If you lose that Gashat, you won't be able to transform!" Poppy retorts worried.
"I'm glad you can see reason Brave." Tommy remarks smiling as the monitor cuts to black again.
"Poppy if I don't do this then we still have no leads concerning Genm and Tommy runs rampant." Jessikah explains hoping she understands as The director reenters the room. Just as the patient starts going into a seizure.
"The Bugster is on the move." The director remarks as Jessikah leaves grabbing her Driver and Gashat off the table.
"I know where he's headed. Let's go." Jessikah says running towards to the elevator.
Meanwhile…
"Genm Corporation." The Director thinks to himself as he walks into the CEO's office.
"Director, good to see you." The man remarks happily pulling out a chair for me before sitting on the opposite side of the desk.
"Why did you give Tommy Oliver a Gamer Driver?" The Director asks angrily.
"He was once a candidate, so I saw no problem in letting him fight as well. With the increase in Bugster activity I thought you'd be happy to have another Rider." The man confesses convincingly.
"You knew that we had revoked his license and yet you still gave him the means to fight." The Director retorts aggressively.
"Now Director Park, I promise that I acted with the best of intentions." He remarks standing up. The Director not knowing what to say storms out of the room.
Meanwhile…
We finally arrive at the woman's home where the husband went after being told he couldn't go into CR with his wife. Jessikah gets out of the car and starts running up to the house when suddenly the husband is thrown out of the window.
"Sir, are you alright?" Jessikah says running up to man as he goes unconscious.
"Focus on the Bugster." Poppy comments as the Bugster busts through the wall and joins us outside.
"More humans, my favorite. Spell bind: Bind!" The Bugster commands relasing the tentacle from his staff again.
"Watch out!" Poppy shout tackling Jessikah out of the way barely missing the tentacle. She pushes Poppy off her standing back up and taking out her Gashat.
"Henshin!" Jessikah shouts pressing the button on the Gashat. Poppy gets up heading over to check on the man.
"Henshin!"
"TADDLE QUEST!"
"GASHATTO! LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'm a Kamen Rider!"
"Proceeding to Level 2."
"LEVEL UP! BATTLE FOR YOUR FUTURE, FIGHT FOR THE ADVENTURE! WELCOME TO TADDLE QUEST!"
Jessikah charges at the Bugster kicking his staff onto the ground and then punching him away from it.
"GASHACON SWORD!"
"There is nothing I cannot cut." Jessikah remarks slicing the Bugster sending him into the ground. Suddenly a motorcycle drives in-between me and the Bugster.
"Glad I didn't miss the party." Tommy retorts equipping his Gamer Driver and pulling out his Gashat. "Henshin!"
"BANG BANG SHOOTING!"
"GASHATTO! LET'S GAME! SUPER GAME! ULTRA GAME! WHAT'S YOUR NAME? I'm a Kamen Rider."
"YOU!" Jessikah shouts completely redirecting her attention to Tommy.
"Yeah me. Wait, I remember you." Tommy begins to say before Jessikah charges at him. "No time for talk, alright. 2nd tactic!"
"LEVEL UP! BANG, BANG, BANG! BANG, BANG, BANG! BANG BANG SHOOTING!"
Tommy doesn't have time to summon his weapon because Jessikah is already on him slashing him across the chest brutally. While the riders fighting the Bugster grabbed his staff again.
"Jessikah , don't let him summon his gun. It'll make the Bugster stronger." Poppy tells Jesiskah charging at Tommy.
"Oooh, interesting idea. Spell cast: Blast!" The Bugster remarks resulting in an explosion knocking Jesiskah off Tommy.
"GASHACON MAGNUM!"
"Dang it!" Poppy shouts as Tommy begins firing at Jessikah who flies back de-transforming.
"GASHACON BUGVISOR!"
Suddenly Genm charges at Tommy smacking his weapon from his hand and reaching for his Gashat, but the Bugster charges at her pushing her to the floor.
"Trying to cheat Genm? That's no good." Tommy remarks picking up his weapon and shooting the Bugster again. He then takes his Gashat out and inserts it into his gun. "Let's try this."
"KIMEWASA! BANG BANG CRITICAL FINISH!"
"No!" Gemn shouts as he unleashes a massive blast destroying the Bugster.
"It seems like I win" He remarks walking over with his gun trained on Jessikah. But before he can shoot Gemn smacks his gun away. He then reaches down taking Jessikah's gashat " Pleasure playing this game." Tommy then walks away while a woman wearing a Hawaiian shirt jeans and a red leather jacket wearing sunglasses watches " Now we have three players " she says .
