We begin our day in the city where the sun was out and the skies were clear of clouds, but what was in the skies were drones showing the news. Large silver and white devices with large digital screens. that used blimps to fly with silent propellers.
Skyscrapers had digital TV screens depicting adverts and the weather; here we see many people enjoying their day, and some people had strange white and blue headphone like devices over their ears, blue eyes and strange QR codes on different places on their bodies. But aside from that, they looked indistinguishable from humans.
Down in the city, we see a young man in his mid-twenties with short brown hair and brown eyes walking out of a store. He was wearing a pink button shirt with a pair of three-quarter length jeans. a pair of sneakers and a gold wedding band.
"Thank you." The young man bowed, buying some gifts from a shop teller. The shop teller had large white earphones with blue circles instead of ears.
"You are most welcome, sir. Come again." the cashier bowed back in a robotic fashion with a robotic voice.
The young man walked away from the shop, his beaming smile on his face as he continued to walk back home. He carried various bags in his arms that were filled with gifts.
He walked towards the centre of Tokyo, seeing a group of friends sitting around a fountain. "I got them!" He called out, raising the bags to show those friends.
"Hey, Kingy!" A young man with black hair chuckled, seeing the drinks in the bag pink-shirt wearing man was carrying. The young man had spiky black hair, a red shirt with black shorts and red sandals on his feet to combat the Japanese sun.
"You're not going to let me live these nicknames down are you, Geiz?" 'Kingy' rolled his eyes, tossing a bottle to Geiz.
"Thanks, honey." A young woman with shoulder-length brown-black hair with the front of her hair pulled back; she was wearing a white and blue summer dress and blue flip-flops, smiled and kissed him as she accepted her drink and some sweets.
"Of course, Aura." 'Kingy' answered, passing the bags to three other people.
"Thank you, Sougo." A second young woman smiled, she had long black hair with a white blouse and skirt, with a gold wedding band on her left hand. As she gave 'Kingy' his proper name.
"I can't believe how much people have enjoyed this new timeline." A young man commented, leaning back a little. He had wavy black hair, wearing a loose blue shirt and shorts, a pair of grey sandals and holding the bottle of chilled drink against his forehead.
"And no one knows what happened, Wol." The last young man agreed. He had shoulder-length black hair that was swept to the right while the left side had cornrows. He seemed to be the most layered up, wearing a grey jacket, a grey-blue scarf around his neck and a pair of long grey trousers.
"Yeah, and a good thing too. Except for us." Sougo answered, sitting between the two women.
"Very true." Aura agreed. "Right, Alpina?" She turned to the second woman.
"Exactly. Are you alright, Wol?" She asked the blue-clothes wearing man.
"Hey, a toast. To the future. Right Woz?" Wol raised his bottle.
"It's also a shame that the final battle nearly destroyed the Quartz Realm. We can't make any new belts or RideWatches for years." Woz added the group toasting.
"Don't worry. The Ohtori is looking after it." Sougo assured as they clinked their bottles together.
"So cute. I wish I could've seen it." Aura squeaked gently, commenting about this strange artefact.
"What?" Sougo blinked.
"The name 'Ohtori'. It sounds cute." She answered.
"Huh. I guess that makes sense." Alpina agreed, taking a drink.
"RARRRH!" A monster's voice roared, making people run in fear.
"They've gone rampant!" One random person screamed.
"Run!" Another bystander yelled.
A human with a white and blue headset was screaming like a madman, he looked normal. Wearing a suit and tie, only with a strange and jagged rectangle buckle/belt around their waist and held a hand-held rectangle in their hand, it was mostly grey save for a blue screen with a strange rhino picture. As he pressed the button on the device a voice proclaimed out.
ARSINO!
...
"Well." Sougo smiled as he attached something around his waist. A strange belt with a white centre and two black protrusions, one on each side. Alongside Geiz, Alpina and Woz following suit "Looks like our job isn't over."
ZIKU DRIVER!
"Why would it be?" Geiz smirked as he brought out his own similar belt and a small red watch-like device. It had a black base but a red ring with a mask-like depiction in the centre with a red button on top and yellow hiragana lettering.
GEIZ!
"Right, My King. After all..." Woz commented, he pulled out his own unique belt of his own. A black rectangular device with a green 'door' on the right-hand side, a green square in the centre with the belt and three green buttons on the left in the shape of a triangle.
BEYONDRIVER!
In Woz's hand was a black-based watch-like device with a silver 'door' on the front, depicting a mask with green antennae and a mask.
WOZ!
"We are Kamen Riders." Alpina added as she attached her own white and black belt, holding a pure white watch device with a white mask and yellow katakana lettering on the mask.
TSUKUYOMI!
The three attached their RideWatches to their belts happily.
"Yeah, you're right." Sougo laughed, throwing his own watch device up and down, before hitting the button. It was a black-based watch with a silver frame and with pink katakana lettering.
ZI-O!
Sougo slotted his watch into his Driver right after them, taking the lead "Wol, Aura, make sure everyone is safe." he ordered.
"Right." Wol nodded as he cheered from the sidelines.
"You've got this." Aura nodded and called out to them.
ACTION!
Woz had attached his own device to the door of his belt.
"So... Guys... Shall we?" Sougo grinned, the others nodding at him.
"HENSHIN!" They called together as four different clocks appeared behind them.
Behind Sougo was a large analogue clock with its hands spinning around in opposite directions, it had a number of smaller analogue clocks following the reversing clock. The hologram of the clock looked see-through while his left arm was raised to his right shoulder, while his right arm rested below. The sound of a clock ticking followed it.
Behind Geiz was a large digital clock with black and red arrows in its frame with smaller clocks encircling it began to beep slowly and rhythmically. Geiz threw his hands out forwards and circled them so his right hand was on top of his tilted belt while the left was under it.
Behind Woz was a see-through green framed and blue screened smartwatch with a dial on the right-hand side as blue and green laser lights surrounded him. His right hand circled upwards before going to the door.
Alpina had a golden framed astrolabe clock with six diamond-like gems on either side of the frame, with ornate designs as a blue sky with the constellations in the centre of the clock vanished to reveal a moon-like covering.
RIDER TIME!
TOUEI! FUTURE TIME
The four of them were surrounded by holographic watchstraps of varying degrees.
Sougo was covered in silver and pink watchstraps as the clock behind him returned upright, causing the two clock-hands to go to 12 before going to 10 and 2 respectively and forming the word 'Rider' in Katakana in the centre as it shot out as he stood in a black bodysuit with pink markings on his waist. He had silvery blue boots with grey ankle-protectors, black shin guards with pink lines, watch crowns for kneecap guards, and a silver watchstrap down from his neck to his waist. Black gloves with pink armour, black bracers and silver shoulder guards with watch crowns on either side with a pink line. Finally a helmet, mainly black but it had a silver frame like a watch, a white faceplate with silver lines, clock-hands in place of antennae and pink Katakana in his visor that read 'Rider'.
KAMEN RIDER! ZI-O~!
Geiz was in a metallic red bodysuit, black-tipped red shoes with grey ankle guards and red shin guards with black markings. He had a black watchstrap going from his neck to his waist, silver bulky looking shoulder guards with red protrusions and yellow markings. He had a black helmet with a segmented white faceplate. Outstretched yellow hiragana lettering on his visor which read 'Rider' and looked like a butterfly.
KAMEN RI~DER! GEIZ!
Woz was next, wearing a silver bodysuit, black boots and shin guards with neon-green edges, with silver-blue tops on his shoes, ankle guards and kneecaps. On his waist were light-blue markings that went to his thighs, black gloves with light-blue protections, and black bracers with neon-green lining. A silver chest piece with a black watch strap with green holes and a strange circle-like marking on the top. Square shoulder guards with blue katakana lettering on the inside that read 'Kamen'; a neon-green collar with a silver helmet with a green jaw-guard, blue katakana that read 'Rider' on the visor, a pair of green and black clock-hands as antennae that pointed 10 and 2.
SUGOI! JIDAI! MIRAI!
KAMEN RIDER WOZ! WOZ!
And lastly was Alpina, she was covered in golden watchstraps that encircled her and formed a black bodysuit over her body. Black boots with white toes, brass coloured ankle guards and watch-crown-shaped kneecaps and glove protectors. Over her thighs were white and gold guards that held onto her waist, a flowing white tabard with golden watch-strap-like markings on the edge, plain white shoulder guards, a small silver watchstrap that went only down to her chest along with a white chest guard; a flowing white cape with the same golden edge to it. And lastly her helmet, pure white with a white face plate but it had silver rhomboid-shaped markings to emulate a clock face, a curved visor that looked like the crescent moon with katakana lettering that read 'Rider' with her silver clock-hand antennae pointing at 12 and 2.
KAMEN RI~DER~! TSUKUYOKI! TSU~! KU~! YO~! MI~!
"I think...we can do this!" Sougo spoke out but now called 'Kamen Rider Zi-O'.
The human with the headphones glared at them and slotted the strange blue-screened device into the silver belt and pushed its left-hand side. Red wires erupted from the belt and jabbed into the item; the person's outward appearance shattered away, revealing a humanoid robot with a white and silver humanoid face, a metallic chest piece, some metallic feet and shin protectors and a waist guard. The mouth of the robotic human opened up as blue wires surrounded its body and sparked with blue lightning.
ZETSUMERISE!
SMASH!
Appearing before them was a new armoured robotic enemy, blue wires strapping into the metal for reinforcement, blue plated thigh guards, and overlapped plated chest piece, two large shoulder guards and a blue helmet with two large light-blue eyes and two long horns.
"Yeesh. Doesn't end, does it?" Geiz commented.
"It doesn't." Sougo answered as they rushed forward and stopped the monster from destroying anything.
*Elsewhere*
"Ah~, what a beautiful day!" A man in a rather... Strange taste of fashion yawned as he stretched. A weird case of 'smart casual'.
It was a young man, about in his early to mid-twenties, with reddish-brown hair, he was wearing a smart black suit jacket and trousers, he had a pair of black sneakers with neon-green highlights. And under his business suit was a red hoodie.
"The temperature for today is a comfortable twenty-five degrees Celsius, President Aruto." A young woman, wearing the same white and blue headphones, short black hair with two bangs with teal-blue highlights, a white jacket with teal-green-blue shoulders and black cuffs, a black bow around her neck with teal edges, a silver-grey waistcoat, a teal green pencil skirt with a single black line on the right-hand side, black trousers with a teal-green-blue line on her right leg, and simple black shoes with small heels.
Yes, you heard that right, this young man wearing the weird 'smart casual' attire was a President.
"Thanks, Izu." President Aruto responded with a kind smile. "We better head to the company right?"
"That's right, you have a morning meeting." Izu informed, pulling out a pocket watch that she carefully pulled out from her breast pocket.
"That's... Yay..." He sighed before he noticed something out of the corner of his eye.
He turned and looked in confusion as he saw it.
Crawling out of the alleyway, was a strange humanoid figure. It had a gill-styled, blue right leg and red left leg; the right leg had a silver-plated and riveted thigh guard, though its thighs were blue and red, its stomach was silver scaled like a fish that crawled upwards to a plain grey chest plate but on the right pectoral were blue crawling veins, while on the left pectoral were red veins. His shoulders were covered by blue and red guards with silver edges, his upper arms were covered in gill-styled protection, bracers that had 'fangs' that protected the elbows but also acted as a weapon. Grey gloves with plain grey plating, a black neckpiece that went up to a blue helmet. The helmet had a silver mouthpiece with a yellow jawline, the top of the helmet had a 'sail' on the top that looked like a pair of clock hands pointing to 12 and a pair of red lines for design; a strange visor piece with 'fins' on the side with clock gears with katakana lettering that read 'Rider'.
Around its waist was a strange belt that Aruto had never seen before. It had a silver-white centre with a LED centre and two protrusions. The left side was an empty black slot and on the right was a strange watch. The watch, from what he could see, had a blue frame with a copy of the mask of the creature he could see.
"Is that a new form of Magia?" Aruto asked in confusion.
"I do not know. It is not wearing the Zetsumeriser we are accustomed with." Izu answered simply.
Aruto was passed something from Izu, it was a black belt-like object with a red arrow pointed leftwards, with a silver arrow pointing the same way; on the right-hand side was an almost complete neon-yellow circle with an 'open space' for something with a neon-yellow circle inside with some circuitry lines and a silver arrow pointing bottom left.
"But it still might be trouble." Aruto answered as he could hear it.
"...kill them. Wait for them in their sleep and kill them!" The creature whispered in anger. "I'll kill that smug bastard and his harlot!"
"That's a red flag." Aruto frowned as he attached the belt around his waist.
ZERO-ONE DRIVER!
"A new world. A new world to conquer, a new world to thrive in." The creature panted, looking around at the area without acknowledging Aruto or Izu.
Aruto pulled out a strange device. A neon-yellow backed item with a black screen with a yellow picture of a grasshopper on the front. On its screen were the words:
RISING HOPPER
ABILITY: JUMP
Aruto pressed the button on top of the device he had; as he did a beam of yellow light came down from the sky.
JUMP!
AUTHORIZE!
"Huh? What's that?" The creature asked as it heard that sound... And then had to jump out of the way as a giant glowing neon green/yellow mechanical grasshopper almost crushed him "What the hell?!"
"HENSHIN!" Aruto called out from behind him to the creature after he scanned the item over the belt and had the grasshopper jump around him.
PROGRIZE!
Aruto had opened the 'Key' device in his hand and slotted it within his 'Zero-One Driver', which slid the Driver's arrow to reveal a yellow circle in the centre of the belt. Landing in front of the creature in a black bodysuit with the neon-green/yellow mechanical grasshopper digitized and attached itself to this person, becoming armour.
TO-BIA GA RISE! RISING HOPPER~!
Appearing before the creature was a black body suited Kamen Rider, neon-green/yellow boots with small red markings, yellow shin guards and markings up his legs to his waist, a yellow/neon-green chest plate with small triangle markings, round black shoulder guards, silver markings from his neck down to his black bracers, a black helmet with a neon-green/yellow face with red eyes and two antennae. Around his waist was a black belt with a strange silver arrow, a neon-green/yellow middle circle with a silver centre, red markings and a cybernetic design.
After the Rider was fully armoured, a robotic humanoid voice spoke out.
A Jump To The Sky Turns To A Rider Kick.
"Wh-who the hell are you?" The creature demanded in shock.
"Zero-One." Aruto started before spinning around, his arms crossing with a single figure extended on his right hand "Kamen Rider Zero-One. That's me. And you might not be a Magia, but you're clearly a bad guy. You were muttering about killing someone, and I won't let that happen."
"Don't get in my way of things you know nothing about!" The creature glared and raced at him, slashing him with his claws, but was dodged when Zero-One leapt over his head, kicking him in the back.
The new Rider's right foot glowed, the image of the robotic grasshopper's foot appearing over his own, as he kicked Zamonas in the face.
The creature screamed, slamming right into the ground with a fierce kick. Zero-One remained on his feet as he saw it on the ground. "Damn. You. I can't. Die here. Won't die here! I am Zamonas!" As he pressed the button of his watch device.
FINISH TIME!
"DIE!" Zamonas roared as he rushed forwards, hitting the button to unlatch his belt.
R!
I!
S!
I!
N!
G!
I!
M!
P!
A!
C!
T!
Zero-One just hit the side of his belt lightly and raised his foot, kicking Zamonas with a glowing yellow foot.
RISING IMPACT!
Zamonas roared in pain as he was sent flying backwards, crashing along the ground.
"I think you 'Die' has run out of luck." Zero-One joked.
...
"Th-that. Was. Terrible." Zamonas groaned as he struggled to get to its feet.
"Also, your finisher takes ages." Zero-One added, his hands going on his hips. "So much you gotta do."
"Sh-shut up. You don't get to-!"
BULLET!
BANG!
SHOTRISE!
As Zamonas tried to stand up, a glowing blue energy bullet suddenly blasted him in the back. Zamonas rolled onto the ground in pain, having been shot in the back as a 'holographic' bullet shot into him.
Standing behind Zamonas and in front of Zero-One was a half silver and white, light blue armoured Kamen Rider with some small red markings. His helmet was plain white masked with blue eyes, a blue crest on his forehead to emulate ears and red and blue 'fur markings' on the side.
SHOOTING WO~LF~!
The Elevation Increases As The Bullet Is Fired.
"Prez!" The blue Rider called out, aiming his blue gun belt at him.
"Vulcan! Hey!" Aruto waved as he jumped, kicking Zamonas as he passed.
"Who is this guy?" The now named Vulcan asked as he pulled out a black and blue...Suitcase?
ATTACHE SHOTGUN!
"He said his name is 'Zamonas'." ZeroOne admitted "But he's a bad guy. So, it's time to do our job." He follows Vulcan's lead, holding a black and yellow case.
ATTACHE CALIBUR
"What are those?" Zamonas hissed as he pulled out his own weapon. It was a black and bronze coloured crossbow-like weapon. It had a bronze grip, a clock-styled bow with a black bowstring, a silver arrow slotted inside and aimed at Zero-One and Vulcan.
ZeroOne and Vulcan shared a look and couldn't help but smirk under their helmets... And unfolded their suitcases.
BLADERISE!
SHOTGUNRISE!
"You. Are all mad. In this place. You're insane!" Zamonas commented, pulling their bow-gun's grip back.
"You're the one talking about killing people," Zero-One stated simply.
"And so, we are going to kick your ass." Vulcan snarled before he opened fire with his shotgun.
Zamonas screamed as the shots peppered his body, causing it to release his blast into the air harmlessly as they were being forced back by the shots. However, he was then slashed by the sword in ZeroOne's hand, who did a flurry of slashes. The yellow rider then jumped into the air, twisting lightly, as another blast of Vulcan's flew through the air and hit Zamonas in the chest.
DASH!
SHOTRISE!
As Zamonas flew through the air he saw a new figure being, surrounded by a golden/orange glow. And as he came crashing down... A paw-like armoured foot hit his face and slammed it into the dirt.
"President." A female voice nodded as the figure rushed over to the other three's side.
RUSHING CHEETAH~!
Try To Outrun This Demon To Get Left In The Dust.
"Ah! It's 'Valkyrie' good to see you." Zero-One smiled as he saw the new figure.
"You took your time getting here." Vulcan scoffed.
"Unlike you, I don't rush into things headfirst." 'Valkyrie' responded simply.
Zamonas struggled to get back to his feet, three on one would've been fine with his group, his whole army...but he was on his own, he was going to die in this strange futuristic world! 'No. No, no, no! I can't die here!' He pulled himself up weakly, seeing the third armoured figure who was clearly female.
She was like the blue one, white armoured for over half of her body, an orange right leg, arm bracer, shoulder and chest guard, a white mask with yellow eyes and a cheetah inspired frame with cat-like ears, all with black triangle markings on her body. Around her waist was a blue gun-like transformation device.
'Whoa. A Female Rider?' Zamonas thought to itself as he was shocked to see one so soon after the Queen, as well as one who appeared to be the 'third member of the band' as it where
01! 01! 01! 01! 01!
"Well, since all three of us are here, we better take this guy down!" Zero-One smirked while resting his sword on his shoulder.
01! 01! 01! 01! 01!
"We will bust him to scrap!" Vulcan snarled as he pumped his shotgun.
01! 01! 01! 01! 01!
"A criminal breaking several laws, and using dangerous Rider technology? Authorisation, given." Valkyrie said to Vulcan as she removed the blue gun from her belt.
01! 01! 01! 01! 01!
"We will follow your lead, Mr President." Valkyrie added as she knelt down into a sprinting position.
"Alright!" Zero-One grinned... And they burst into movement.
Kōdaina ākaibu access shite
Zero-One had burst into the air from a glowing yellow jump, sword in the air ready for a slash. However, making it so that Zamonas could not retaliate, where the other two.
Vulcan had taken aim and fired his weapon and fired again and again. He kept pumping his shotgun, readying another shot, and firing right away. A barrage of blasts forced Zamonas back.
And then there was Valkyrie... Who moved VERY fast. A bronze blur, rushing around and past him who threw punches and kicks and blasts from her gun while she jumped, rolled and skilfully fought AROUND Vulcan's blasts. The two moved in almost perfect unison, well-trained warriors working side by side...
And then Zero-One came down with a powerful downwards vertical slash which had sparks burst from Zamonas' armour.
All those attacks in less than a second.
Kensaku shitatte I don't think it's right
Zamonas rolled onto the ground, his armour being carved into by the slashes and blasts, overwhelmed by the lack of strength he possessed but also looked like it was already wounded. It clawed at the ground, forcing itself back to their feet and tried to fight back against these three Riders.
Dēta wa kako wādo wa sain, kotae wa 404 Not Found…
Zamonas roared loudly and managed to grab Valkyrie's fist and punched her in the gut.
01! 01! 01! 01!
Valkyrie grunted but managed to rapidly kick him off of her, giving Vulcan space to shoot him.
01! 01! 01! 01!
The Rider peppered him with shots as Zero-One folded and unfolded his suitcase blade.

"Ha!" Zero-One called as he spun on his heel, performing a horizontal slash across the being's stomach.
KABAN SLASH!
Atarashī jidai wo
Zamonas yelled in pain as it was thrown into the air, a glowing yellow energy blade pressing against his body.
Valkyrie rushed past, her hand clasping Zero-One's shoulder and letting her use him as a springboard and support. As she pushed herself off him she gave a flying side kick to Zamonas, right where the previous slash had hit him, before she used the same arm to lower herself down and stumble back into Zero-One slightly.
"Oof!" Zero-One grunted.
"Sorry, President." She commented, pushing her body away from him. She spoke casually and calmly, a professional.
"It-It's fine." Zero-One stuttered, shy and inexperienced in life.
We gotta SUN×RISE Burning like the fires
Zamonas came crashing down hard, gasping in pain... And Vulcan grabbed his arm, forcing him up, and giving him a harsh punch to the chest.
"Gah!" Zamonas yelled as it went flying once again, wheezing.
"Let's end this." Vulcan hissed as he removed a strange item from his belt.
It was a strange cartridge like device, which he flipped closed. It was a blue device, depicting a wolf. Meanwhile, Zero-One closed his belt by gripping the chrome arrow part and sliding it closed, covering the middle circle and ejecting a similar cartridge. Zero-One removed the item and flicked his closed, revealing it was neon yellow and depicted a grasshopper. The two riders pressed the small buttons atop them at the same time.
JUMP!
BULLET!
The two held the cartridges before Vulcan inserted it into his Attache Shotgun while Zero-One did the same with his own in the Attache Calibur.
Kiri hirake unmei wo
PROGRISE KEY CONFIRMED, READY TO UTILISE: Werewolf's Ability!
PROGRISE KEY CONFIRMED, READY TO UTILISE: Grasshopper's Ability!
Energy began to flow into their weapons aimed right at the falling Zamonas, while Zero-One closed his weapon once again.
CHARGERISE!
Valkyrie raised her hand, elegantly pressing the button atop her gun which revealed there was an opened cartridge inside it.
DASH!
You wanna REAL×EYEZ egaita miraizu
Valkyrie ground her orange foot into the ground... Before she took off, racing at Zamonas.
R! U! S! H! I! N! G! B! L! A! S! T!
Buchi nuite Ikeru no wa
Valkyrie was rushing around their foe, rapid-firing her glowing bronze/orange blasts as she circled Zamonas.
Zamonas howled in pain as he was bombarded by the energy blasts, feeling his body compress.
RUSHING BLAST!
Valkyrie came to a stop, her back to the Dark Rider as she crouched. Her white leg supported most of her weight, her orange one extended as she came to a stop.
S! H! O! O! T! I! N! G! K! A! B! A! N! S! H! O! T!
"Eat this!" Vulcan snarled as he pulled the trigger, launching out four glowing blue holographic wolf heads from his weapon while he was thrown back.
You're the only ONE!
The four wolf heads all bit one of Zamonas' limbs, pulling him into the air as they snapped at him before a fifth rushed by and shot through him.
SHOOTING KABAN SHOT!
"There's only one person who can end this, and that's me!" Zero-One called as he opened his blade, jumping into the air once more.
FULL CHARGE!

01! 01! 01! 01!
Zamonas' eyes widened as the last attacked near it, an attack that would finish him... and he had no escape this time.
RISING KABAN DYNAMIC!
Zero-One gave a single powerful slash, a diagonal one across Zamonas' form before then performing a second horizontal slash and a final vertical one which ended the foe. Zamonas' screams resonated as his body was vaporised in the explosion and the belt and device shattered into dust.
KABOOM!
01! 01! 01! 01!
Zero-One landed, skidding across the ground as his eyes glowed with the explosion bright behind him... And then tripping.
"Wh-whoa!" ZeroOne tumbled and rolled on the ground. "Ow! Ow, ow, ow, ow, ow!" Holding his ankle. "That trip was 'ankled for'."
Vulcan froze and covered his masked mouth, the armoured man shaking.
"Seriously, President? You're still like that?" Valkyrie sighed as she put a hand on her now cocked hip. She reached down and ejected the Cartridge from her belt, flicking it closed, as her body glowed, and her armour began to fade away.
Vulcan and Zero-One both removed their belts, their armour fading away as well.
"President Aruto, are you okay?" Izu asked as she approached them.
"Yeah. I'm fine Izu. Just a small trip." Aruto smiled as he appeared back in his normal, smart-casual dressed self.
"Was that another bad joke?" the woman who was Valkyrie groaned as her rider form vanished.
The woman had shoulder-length brown hair, wearing a grey suit and trousers with a white shirt covering her C-Cup chest, black shoes and a stern look on her face.
And coming from Vulcan's armour was a wavy black-haired man with an angry look on his face, wearing a black suit, trousers and tie with a white button shirt. "Sounded like it." Vulcan answered, turning his attention to the location of where Zamonas was. "Who was that Zamonas guy though?"
"No idea, Fuwa." the woman who was Valkyrie shrugged.
"Ms Yaiba, according to all records and battle data I gathered, that figure was a Kamen Rider." Izu explained simply, "And there seems to be a strange time-space distortion, which may have affected your gear in ways you did not recognise."
"Huh." Aruto shrugged as he stood tall. "He couldn't have been a Kamen Rider. Not a real one at least. Metsubo Jinrai are not war machines, we aren't monsters. We just fight for our ideals."
"Huh. Well said." Fuwa commented, kicking a chunk of the dead Dark Rider's JikuDriver away.
"You could say that he reached the end of his ride! Aruto ja naito!" the apparent president cheered lightly.
The man called 'Fuwa' scrunched his face up and turned around walking off. "F-Fine. AIMS needs us back at the base." And his hand was shaking as he walked.
"Farewell President Hiden." The woman called Yua commented, speaking formally and professionally as she walked past.
"Later guys." Aruto waved before he noticed something "Huh?" he blinked and picked up a small fist-sized gemstone. "What's this?" He asked as it glowed and changed colour, turning the same neon yellow as Zero-One's suit "Whoa! That's something to Yell-ow about!"
"A pun. Based off the colour yellow and the action of yelling, something done when-" Izu began as her head-lights shone softly.
"I said to stop explaining the jokes!" Aruto groaned, the two walking towards a massive building designed after a DNA helix with the words -Hidden Intelligence- hanging on it.
"I'm sorry, President Aruto." Izu apologised as they walked inside.
*elsewhere*
"HA!" Sougo called as he jumped high, coming down in a flying side kick against the Arsino Magia's chest.
The Arsino Magia grunted in pain, an imprint was left on its body, Woz, Alpina and Geiz were still standing. This creature was strong.
Sougo held out his hand as a series of kanji flew out of his belt, a weapon forming.
JIKANGLAIDE!
"Time to end this." Sougo commented, gripping the blade.
It was a dark-grey handled sword with a dark-grey hole on the guard with a silver watch strap design and a green button on the top. There was a white circle that was like the colour of Zi-O's face mask with pink Katakana that read 'Sword' along the blade, a silver-white clock-hand design along the grey edge of the outer blade.
He pulled out a second watch-like device from his wrist and activated it. It was a dark-blue-based watch with a silver-grey frame with a mask of a different Rider, one with red eyes and a silver horn.
BLADE!
Sougo slotted the watch device into the vacant slot and felt the energy course through it. Large dark blue energy pulsed through the blade like a fire as Sougo leapt up and attacked.
FINISH TIME! BLADE! GIRI GIRI SLASH!
"HA!" he cried, giving a dramatic downwards slash. Cutting the Magia down the middle with a simple, singular slash.
The Magia howled in pain, falling back.
"My turn!" Geiz called, a series of yellow hiragana rushing out of his belt and forming an axe.
JIKANZAX!
In Geiz's hand was a black-handled axe, a red handle with red pull on the grip, a black watch strap and a slot on the top connecting the line which had yellow Hiragana lettering that read 'Ax' near the hinge of the red and silver blade of the axe.
He pulled out an orange-based watch device with a semi-dark blue frame with a mask of a Rider with a singular crescent-looking orange visor.
GAIM!
Orange energy pulsed throughout the blade of the ZikanZax and slashed diagonally from the top left arm to the bottom right leg.
FINISH TIME! GAIM! ZAKKURI CUTTING!
JIKANDISPEAR!
"Let us finish this!" Woz said proudly.
Woz's weapon was a long black spear with a dark green bottom, a silver rectangle near the hilt with four different symbols; the top one was green with white stylised Katakana lettering, the second was red with a spear-head, the third was blue and in the form of a scythe and the final one was yellow with a hook. The translucent green spearhead had a round 'gear' that had katakana lettering inside that read 'Spear'. Woz altered the head of the spear to a new form, turning it into the scythe and the lettering read 'Scythe'.
KAMASHISUGI!
Woz pressed the green button of his weapon and ran his finger up the weapon which activated its finisher.
ICHIGEKI KAMAN!
"HA!" Woz proclaimed as he slashed from the top right arm to the bottom left leg, leaving a neon-green energy slice.
"Now..." Tsukuyomi hummed as kanji flew from her belt, catching it as it formed a rapier "Let us see how sturdy you are."
JIKAN SNIPPIER!
In Alpina's hand was a silvery-white and gold rapier weapon with gold katakana reading 'Rapier' on the blade as she flourished it before bringing out the fourth watch-like device and turned it. It was a pink watch with a mask of a pink helmeted Rider in the frame. "Fight with me." She whispered as she inserted it into the slot of her weapon.
FINISH TIME! MARIKA! GIRI GIRI STRIKE!
"HA!" She slashed through the middle of the torso and landed the last blow to destroy the Magia.
KABOOM!
The four faced away from the Magia, the explosion shooting into the sky.
"Whoo!" Wol cheered as they saw this fight end quickly.
"Good work, guys!" Aura clapped.
"Thank you, Kamen Riders!" Some members of the public called out as they saw that.
The four chuckled nervously and began to wave, well three of them did. Geiz turned back around and picked up a small device that flew from the flames.
"What the heck is this?" He wondered, looking at the Key that was here as he could get a better look at it.
On the front of it was a dark blue screen with a picture of a two-horned rhino.
ARSINO MAGIA
TYPE: ZETSUMETSU
"'Magia'? 'Zetsumetsu'?" He wondered.
"What do you have there?" Woz asked as they all transformed back to normal.
"I don't know. It's that thing that monster had." Geiz answered.
The four detransformed, Geiz slipping the Key into his coat.
Sougo frowned as he held his watch in his hand, gasping lightly as he noticed something. Looking down he saw his RideWatch flash, flashing gold, for a few seconds before calming down.
"What? You okay?" Alpina asked.
"Yeah, yeah. It's fine." Sougo nodded, slipping the watch into his pocket.
We zoom up into the sky, where a young figure stood. A young woman clad in white, standing atop a building, looking down at the battle. Watching, silently.
And we rush past, soaring into the sky up above as the sun rose.
KAMEN RIDER ZERO ONE!

KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!
REIWA FIRST GENERATION MOVIE!
REALxEYEZ THE QUARTZER!
*With Aruto*
Aruto was currently in the meeting Izu had mentioned earlier. He seemed invested as the subject of the matter was intense and involving attacks from before today.
And part of it was mentioning Aruto's health since his previous battle with 'Metsubou Jinrai'; a terrorist group that tried to 'liberate' HumaGears from human control.
"As our public research shows, the public has seen the President transforming into 'Kamen Rider Zero-One'; meaning public opinion has both risen and dropped in the past week or so." A member of the board spoke, producing a screen of data.
"It seems quite balanced." Aruto commented, in his hand was the glowing yellow rock he had picked up.
"Public opinion seems to differ, Sir." The board member answered.
"What do you mean?" Aruto asked.
"Due to footage of people seeing you fight for some time against the larger robots for an hour, fighting against Metsubou Jinrai, even without armour and even your stance with the police and AIMS, it's more of a 'net positive'." The board member answered. "People feel...safer. Knowing that you've put so much of yourself with them, is reassuring."
"Ah." Aruto nodded and laughed softly "I'm glad. Glad I could help."
A member of the board leaned back in his chair ever so slightly. He had a bowl black haircut, wearing a grey suit and trousers, a red tie and a white button shirt.
Beside him was a young woman like Izu, she had black hair with a single bang on her right-hand side and in a bun with white headphones, wearing a red scarf, wearing a white long jacket-skirt with white sleeves and red stripes, black cuffs and gloves; black segments on her skirt, black buttons, a black skirt, red long leggings and red shin-high boots. "Mr Fukuzoe, do you have something to say?" She asked the man next to her.
"Shesta." The man sighed gently. "I believe that-"
Almost immediately, before Mr Fukuzoe could finish his thoughts, the doors to the meeting room sprang open. "Excuse me, everyone." An employee of Hiden Intelligence apologised as they entered. "I'm sorry to interrupt."
"What's going on? Can't you see that we're in an important meeting?" Mr Fukuzoe asked.
"What's the matter?" Aruto asked, turning to the employee.
"Forgive me, President Hiden. But there is a disgruntled person down in the lobby screaming bloody murder about you." The employee responded.
"What? Excuse us." Aruto asked as he and Izu left to deal with this situation.
The three were directed to the lobby where an older gentleman, greying black hair, wearing a well-worn suit and trousers, almost like they were the only clothes they had, a pair of scuffed shoes and a weathered face. They were held back by Mamoru and some other members of the security here holding him back. "I demand to be let in! Don't you know who I am?" The man shouted, pushing forwards but was held back.
Aruto and Izu walked forwards but were kept back by the security guards for fear of their safety. "What's happening?" Aruto asked in confusion.
"President Hiden, please stay back this person is-" The head security guard HumaGear warned Aruto before being interrupted.
"You thief!" The man shouted, almost leaping over the HumaGear and accused Aruto. "I created that! I did!"
"Sir, calm down or you will be escorted off the premises!" A guard answered, making sure not to harm the man.
"What?" Aruto asked in shock. "Who is that man? What's he talking about?"
Izu's eyes and headphones glowed and whirred as she was trying to find something.
"I'm the man that made that belt! I worked with President Hiden!" The man shouted.
Aruto was stunned to hear that. This man worked on the Hiden Driver? "Izu, who is this man?" Aruto asked in worry.
"That man is Sefy Asai." Izu answered simply. "He was an employee here at Hiden Intelligence, but he was let go after allegations of theft of 'his work' and ludicrous demands."
"It is my work! I should be President of Hiden Intelligence! Not this suicidal child!" Sefy snapped, denouncing Aruto.
Aruto felt a pang of guilt and worry as he was called out like that. 'Suicidal'? Was he suicidal in the view of some people?
"Mr Asai, if you continue with these allegations you will be escorted out!" Mamoru, the head of the security and HumaGear, informed.
"Get off of me!" Sefy glared, not breaking eye contact on Aruto. "Your father was a thief, Hiden! He stole my work!"
Aruto's eyes widened at the thought of that...and he frowned. "Mamoru. Please escort Mr Asai off the premises." He asked politely, but with restrained hurt by the slander that this man claimed that his father didn't create the Hiden Zero-One Driver.
"This way, Mr Asai." Mamoru informed as he was held back by other members of security.
"You can't hide from this, Hiden! You're a thief! I'll be back!" Mr Asai snapped, barking out a threat at Aruto and thrown out onto the street. "Oof!" And had the door slammed on him, with more guards being there to stop him from re-entering. "Damn it!" He slammed his hand on the pavement.
"Seems that you've fallen on hard times, Sir." A young woman's voice spoke, as a pair of white boots came into Sefy's view.
Looking up was a beautiful young woman, probably in her mid-twenties. She was strangely dressed, white shin-length boots with black soles, white trousers wearing a silver and white tabard with rhombus-shaped studs on a dark grey edge, wearing a silver metal belt around their waist, a long-sleeved coat with grey cuffs and black edges around the arm, a white scarf around their neck and shoulders with silver rhombus studs and a flowing white cape. Their features were soft, brown eyes, a straight nose and long brown hair that was tied in a swirl on her head with a bang of hair going down her right side.
"Who? Who are you?" Sefy grunted, getting to his feet.
"Call me Finis. You want revenge against Hiden?" The woman asked calmly, pulling out a strange rose-pink gemstone.
"What on earth is that?" Sefy asked, looking in concern and disdain.
"The means to become President." Finis answered, passing him the gemstone. As she did, the pink gemstone began to change, turning into a black 'Key' with a neon-yellow colour. On the front was a skeleton-like grasshopper with a yellow button on the top.
ANOTHER RISING HOPPER
TYPE: ZETSUMETSU JUMP
"Happy birthday, Mr President." Finis answered darkly as Sefy looked at the Key.
