Reviews:
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Thanks, but it's only the start of it all.
BSWAT: Zamonas was just a lead-in from the RomeZi-O and Tsukiette movie we did, Barlckxs and Zonjis are dead. Sefy is an OC villain, but you'll have to wait until I give you what his name means. As for Finis? She's got her own reasons for doing this.
Komaeda Yuujin: Thanks, you get the meaning behind the Zamonas fight.
Pikatwig: Well, that's why we've done it this way.
Raven Soriano: Thank you for being a dedicated fan of our work.
sonicflash78: Oh, thank you very much.
Toa Solaric: you'll have to wait and see how it pans out.
Dragon Rider 66: Yeah, if we just made Will Another Zero-One, it would just be rehashing the actual Reiwa First Gen movie without any changes. The reason for the Another Progrise Key? Where Finis is from making 'Another Rider' gear is like magic, she's that quick making them.
MKDemiGodzilla-Warrior: Well...It's Zero-One. It makes more sense than to give an Another Ridewatch to the guy. And yes, you got the connection.
Spidey Viewer: *claps* you get it!
merendinoemiliano: ...It's Chapter One! It's part one of SIX! Of course, we're not gonna focus on the monsters right now, it's for character introductions and development! What kind of hacks do you think we are? Zack Snyder or Michael Bay?
SuperiorSpyder: Let the story continue!
Here are some reviews answered by our own GreyKing46:
Apr 7 c1Guest: No spoilers.
merendinoemiliano: Dude, this was like the first five minutes or so of the movie
Spidey Viewer: Well ... We did plan this, haha.
MKDemiGodzilla-Warrior: Because they had to craft the Quartz into RideWatches before they took shape.
Dragon Rider 66: It was just crafted differently.
Raven Soriano: He CLAIMS to be the creator.
Pikatwig: We had it ALL planned out.
BSWAT: We will NOT be seeing Zonjis or Barlckxs. That was the Zero One Cameo from Zi-O's movie. Zamonas was from a different timeline.
Yes, Sefy is an OC
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: Trust us. By the end... SO MANY Hoppers

It was a few days later since Aruto met Mr Asai and those words he said about his father stealing the ideas for the Zero-One Driver stuck in his head. They were probably unfounded, but it meant that his grandfather had to fire someone for being unreasonable.
Aruto sighed as he entered his secret lab, the Zero One Lab, where the yellow gem was sat.
He was curious about this item, he had never seen anything like this before. He wasn't a geologist so he wasn't too sure if it was dangerous or not. "I wonder." He thought gently as he wanted to get it scanned by the Super AI in the computer.
"Zea, can you scan this please?" He asked as he attached his Zero-One Driver on his waist to make contact with the AI, he closed his eyes and felt his mind shoot into space.
Whoosh!
Aruto was now in a white room, floating blue 0's and 1's in streams appeared and disappeared as he stood there, the yellow stone floating as it was being scanned by the large AI that he was now inhabiting. Screens appeared as it was loading and examining the stone. Particles and information about the stone were coming up as '?', 'Unknown Material', 'Condensed Energy'. "Oh my gosh, how is this-? What kind of rock is this?" He wondered. "...Zea, how are you doing?" He asked, trying to distract his mind from Sefy's remark.
"This Unit is doing well, thank you, President Aruto." A disembodied voice of a woman responded kindly. *-"You sound distracted and worried. Is something the matter?"
…
"Gah! Oh, my god!"
"This Unit apologises for the shock, President Aruto. Please, voice your concerns." Zea asked.
"I'm...yeah. It's about what happened yesterday." He sighed.
"Regarding Mr Asai. The former employee." Zea responded.
"Yes, he...he said those things that are still in my head." Aruto frowned. "And I'm worried that I'm becoming a bad boss or having this 'my father was a thief' reputation."
"You feel like you are unworthy of the Zero-One Driver," Zea suggested.
"Yeah, I do. My father made Driver, but if this person is as disgruntled enough to slander the company...What if he is right? What if he is supposed to be President." Aruto answered.
A moment or two passed before Zea responded. "This Unit concludes that you, President Hiden, are the President as per President Korenosuke's wishes."
Aruto took a deep breath and sighed as he heard that. "Is that because of what you think, or is it because of the will?"
Another moment later. "This Unit believes in President Korenosuke's choice."
Aruto nodded gently as he heard that. "Do...you know what this thing is?" And pointed to the yellow rock.
"This Unit is unsure. The closest approximation of energy in this item is radiation, though the item itself is not radioactive. Possible energy source is 'Pure Energy'. Its physical composition is that of an uncut gemstone."
"A 'radioactive, not radioactive' uncut gemstone?" Aruto asked in confusion. "Wow. Thank you, Zea. I'll be back later, okay?"
"Thank you for visiting This Unit, President Aruto." Zea responded politely and calmly as Aruto vanished.
Back in the lab, Aruto opened his eyes and saw that barely a minute had passed, he took the yellow gemstone from the scanner and pocketed it away.
"President Aruto?" Izu spoke as she approached the lab.
"Oh, Izu. Sorry, I was just figuring my situation out." Aruto apologised. "What's up?"
"We have just received a message from AIMS, they are having difficulty with a large number of HumaGears that have gone rogue," Izu informed.
"What?!" Aruto yelled in shock and raced up the stairs. "We've gotta go!" As he ran, still wearing the Hiden Driver around his waist.
*Outside and in the city*
"Beta Squad, contain that sector! Alpha Squad, you're with me!" Fuwa ordered, using his ShotRiser as a gun. "Damn it! I thought this was handled!"
BULLET!
He pulled out his own 'Key' and began to forcefully open it before slamming it into his ShotRiser.
AUTHORISE!
KAMEN! RIDER!
KAMEN! RIDER!
"HENSHIN!" Fuwa called out, shooting his ShotRiser and a bullet shot around the controlled HumaGear before he backhanded the bullet and transformed into Kamen Rider Vulcan.
SHOOTING WOLF!
"HA!" Fuwa proclaimed as he rushed in and shot at the HumaGear who were advancing.
"Alpha Team, what's it like on your end?" Yua's voice called through a communicator.
"Bad, Commander Yaiba! There's got to be about fifty Magia on the offensive!" A member of Fuwa's team responded.
"Damn it, we have to suppress this! They seem to converge around Hiden Intelligence!" Yua answered. "Keep up the fight, we'll reach you."
"Understood!" The soldier answered, taking fire on the Magia and disconnecting the call.
*With Yaiba*
Yaiba's squad were all busy with their own problem, the number must've been fifty to a hundred Magia attacking. "At least the populous are safe." As she pulled out her own Key from her uniform. "That'll work."
THUNDER!
The Key she had pulled out was yellow, depicting a hornet on the front with the words:
LIGHTNING HORNET
ABILITY: THUNDER
She slotted it into her Driver and pressed the Trigger.
SHOTRISE!
LIGHTNING HORNET!
Piercing Needle With Incredible Force
Yua's armour was different to her previous Cheetah based armour. Her feet had a yellow beehive armour on the tops with blue insides and edges, white armoured legs with grey shins, beehive thigh guards, a white waist armour, and blue bracers with yellow beehive additions, she had yellow beehive styled shoulder guards that protruded outwards with blue highlights. On her chest armour were two blue 'eyes' and a hornet-styled 'face' with a blue hexagonal gem just below her neck; her white mask now had a blue frame, yellow jaw protection and two yellow antennae.
"Everyone, suppressing fire!" She leant forward and extended a pair of hornet wings from her back as she flew up into the air and produced small hornets from her beehive segments to fly down and attack the Magia in small explosions.
BOOM!
BOOM!
BOOM!
The Magia were being pushed back, some parts flying back but still, they kept coming. It felt like they were an unending army.
"Who is controlling them? How is this happening?" Yua panicked as she saw this. "Trilobyte Magia were never this tough!"
"Commander Yaiba, look out!" A soldier called out as some Magia had grabbed some guns off of some soldiers and began to take fire.
TSUESUGI!
YOU ME!
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
Shots came out from a different location, grabbing the attention of Yaiba, two new Riders leapt into the fray. Two that she had never seen before. A red body-armoured Rider and a green and silver body-armoured Rider.
"What in the..." She whispered
*With Aruto*
"Damn it." Aruto hissed as he drove on his bike, the RiseHopper, with Izu holding him around the waist.
"President Aruto?" Izu asked as she heard him.
"I'm sorry, I thought I could get a handle on this sort of thing now." Aruto apologised. "With everything that's happened, I thought I could be a good president. I even talked to Zea about it."
"You did? And what did she say?" Izu asked.
"She said that she trusted my grandfather's judgement and choice. Saying I was the only choice." He answered.
Izu pondered as she heard that. She had talked to Zea before and thought about President Aruto...she knew that he was the best choice. She was *his* secretary after all, but was that because of her programming or her own choice? "President Aruto-." She began to speak before he came to a stop.
"Hold on!" He panicked as he saw an oncoming army of Trilobyte Magia that was stepping toward him like an army. "There's got to be fifty Magia!" He whispered in fear. "Izu, stand back."
"Of course, President Aruto." She nodded reassuringly.
"I won't let them get a step further!" Aruto promised himself as he pulled out a Progrise Key. It was a light blue screened key with an outline picture of a polar bear with a blue hinge and black screen.
On the screen were the words:
FREEZING BEAR
ABILITY: BLIZZARD
BLIZZARD!
AUTHORISE
Aruto scanned it over his Driver and a beam of light blue energy shot down and formed a large light blue energy metallic polar bear that roared and surrounded Aruto. "HENSHIN!" He proclaimed as he slotted the Key into his Driver as the bear-hugged him, giving him a new for his Rider self.
PROGRISE!
ATTENTION FREEZE!
FREEZING BEAR!
Aruto was now in a black bodysuit with yellow sided shoes, small yellow shoulder guards and chest guard; over his hands were a pair of blue armour gloves and bracers that were solid blue glacier-like, blue elbow guards, see-through blue chest guard and shoulder guards over the yellow protection. Finally, his helmet's face guard was solid blue with see-through sections with yellow eyes and yellow antennae with a bear-like face.
Fierce Breath As Cold As Arctic Winds
"Time for you guys to chill out!" Aruto proclaimed as he shot his hands out and jets of freezing cold air shot from his palms, creating a large icy barrier.
The Trilobyte's rushed forwards and began to slam against the wall of ice.
The sounds of metal and ice clashed together, Aruto had to keep the ice up, creating as much as he could, trying to pen in the Magia.
CRASH!
A fist came through the sides of the frozen wall as it created openings for them to go through. The Magia were crushing the ice to break it open to let their army through.
"No, you don't!" Aruto commented, rushing up and attacking the Magia having to full two lots of fighting right now. And he was alone. "Ha! Hragh! Hoo!" He grunted, exclaiming as he was throwing kicks and punches, shooting blasts of chilled air in the Magia's faces and trying to pin them down as much as possible. 'Too many. Have to-!' He thought before blasts came from another location.
ZYU!
"Huh?" Aruto asked in shock, seeing two Riders he had never seen before. One wearing silver and one wearing white. "Who're you?"
"Need a hand?" The silver Rider asked as he turned his gun-like weapon into a sword that had clock features.
KEN!
"That was terrible." The white Rider rolled her eyes.
Izu blinked as she scanned these two Riders. They were not in her database, yet they were helping. 'Those objects.' She thought as she saw their belts. "President Aruto, look out!"
"Huh? Argh!" Aruto asked, before he was slammed away into the ground.
"Come on you robot monsters!" The silver Rider spoke as he and the white Rider pulled out a second watch-like device each.
NAZCA!
DOUBLE!
"Huh?!" Aruto blinked as he heard that.
"Henshin!" The two proclaimed as they slotted their items into the empty slot, pressed their belts and spun them.
RIDER TIME!
KAMEN RIDER ZI-O~!
KAMEN RI~DER~! TSUKUYOMI! TSU~KU~YO~MI~!
ARMOUR TIME
Coming out of their belts were two green and purple robotic-looking figures with pink Katakana surrounding the area, attacking the robots before they attached themselves to the silver Rider's shoulders. The robots looked like a pair of large USB sticks with gun handles near the Rider's arms while the pink Katakana slammed into his Visor and spelt out the word 'Double'.
CYCLONE! JOKER! DOUBLE!
Coming from the white Rider's belt were golden Katakana as robotic animals flew out and attacked the robots as she and her partner attacked the robots together. The animals flew around then soon attached themselves to the white Rider's body, forming a blue scarf around her neck, gold and blue animals as her bracers and wings. One was a dolphin, another was a hummingbird, another was a monkey, another was a spider.
RIDE THE WIND!
NAZCA~!
"Whoa!" Aruto gasped in shock and excitement.
Izu was blinking in shock at that, seeing these Riders using something so like the Zero-One Driver's functions. And this form of the white Rider was intriguing!
CLANG!
CLASH!
BASH!
"Who are you?" Aruto grunted, trying his best to freeze and punch the Magia.
"HA!" The silver Rider grunted, throwing the Magia from Aruto. "The name's 'Kamen Rider Zi-O'."
"Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi." The white Rider answered.
"The King and Queen of Kamen Rider's!" Zi-O joked as he grabbed Tsukuyomi's hand and gave her a dramatic twirl, the two almost dancing... in an act that allowed the white rider to kick at the Magia around them. It was romantic and silly but effective.
"... wow..." Aruto blinked.
"Thank you."
"Of course." Tsukuyomi answered as she and Zi-O slashed and attacked the Magia together as Aruto got back up.
"Okay, I can't let this keep going!" Aruto spoke in determination, bringing out a black briefcase with a yellow stripe. "Time to break the ice."
JUMP!
Progrise Key Confirmed, Ready to Utilise Grasshopper's Ability!
"Whoa! What kind of weapon is that?" Zi-O asked in shock, seeing his weapon close and then open.
CHARGERISE!
FULL CHARGE!
"Duck!" Aruto called out, as he felt the energy surging around the blade's edge as Aruto slashed.
RISING! KABAN DYNAMIC!
A large digital energy slash came around and attacked the Magia, causing them to short circuit and explode.
Zi-O and Tsukuyomi leapt into the air, their wings and higher jump made them easily dodge the attack a flower of explosions behind them as they landed.
Tsukuyomi's hummingbird wings sprouted from her back while Zi-O's leap seemed to ride with the wind itself.
"Wow..." He blinked.
"Thanks for the compliment," Zi-O responded.
"How many do you think are left?" Zi-O asked as they turned around, seeing only a few stragglers left.
"That many." Aruto pointed.
Izu hummed, looking at the two new Riders as her eyes flashed.
"President Aruto." She called out.
"Huh? 'President'?" Zi-O asked in shock.
"I'll explain later. We've got to stop those Magia." Aruto answered.
"Very well. Show us what you've got, 'President'." Tsukuyomi responded as she and Zi-O pressed their belts.
FINISH TIME!
DOUBLE/NAZCA!
"Ready, honey?" Zi-O joked to Tsukuyomi as they both readied themselves.
"Let's go." She smirked.
"Well Love Birds, let's fly high!" Aruto called as he slammed his hand against his key, the two riders spinning their belts.
F!
R!
E!
E!
Z!
I!
N!
G!
I!
M!
P!
A!
C!
T!
As Tsukuyomi and Zi-O flew into the air; Zi-O's shoulder USB robots separated from his shoulder turning into their robot selves and forming a 'W' into a Rider Kick with green and purple energy.
Tsukuyomi's had her hummingbird wings erupt from her back as she flew with the animals separating from her body and led into a menagerie attack.
Aruto raised his hands together, channelling the digital blue energy into his palms and fired with a beam of freezing blue winds, halting the Magia in their place while Zi-O and Tsukuyomi crashed and destroyed them.
MAXIMUM! TIME BREAK/JACK!
FREEZING IMPACT!
The three rose back to their feet as they destroyed the last of the Magia as they immediately-
KABOOOOM!
...
That.
"Phew! Thank you. Both of you." Aruto thanked them in relief, seeing the street cleared of the Magia, but a little disheartened by how many were controlled.
"No problem. Less annoying than that blue horned one from earlier." Zi-O answered as they removed their Drivers and revealed their civilian identities to Zero-One.
"'Blue horned one'?" Aruto asked. "The Arsino Magia? You fought that earlier?"
"Yeah, don't know where it came from though." Tsukuyomi answered.
Izu immediately went over to Aruto's side, seeing him stand with other Riders.
"Oh, is this your friend?" Tsukuyomi asked.
"This is-" Aruto began to introduce her.
"My name is Izu, secretary to President Aruto," Izu informed as she bowed deeply.
"Question," Zi-O asked. "Are you president of the country or a company?"
Aruto's jaw dropped as he heard that. "No, no, no. I'm the president of Hiden Intelligence. A company."
"I see," Zi-O responded.
"Where are our manners? I'm Alpina Tokiwa, this is my husband Sougo Tokiwa."
Izu's eyes blinked and her headphones glowed slightly, taking that information in.
"I'm Aruto Hiden," Aruto responded, introducing himself. "I can't believe that there were this many Magia attacks. What could've happened?"
"That's what we want to know. What's a 'Magia'?" Sougo asked.
"You-?" Aruto asked in shock as he heard that before Izu informed them.
"Magia are hacked HumaGear, artificial-intelligent robots that are created by Hiden Intelligence to help people. They must have been hacked by Metsubou Jinrai or some other outside influence." Izu answered, showing a hologram from her eyes.
"Whoa!" Both Alpina and Sougo gasped in shock, seeing this display so clearly brought out.
"Okay...Hiden Intelligence is good, but bad people corrupted the AI. Got it." Alpina responded.
"Exactly." Izu answered simply. "The Magia that attacked now were called 'Trilobyte Magia', the base corrupted HumaGear."
Sougo was thinking about what Izu said. "Metsu. Bou. Jin. Rai...'Extinction Thunderclap'? Did a chunibyo come up with that?"
"Ah-ha...Not sure." Aruto chuckled nervously at that. "But they're a terrorist group that fights for HumaGear liberation."
Both Sougo and Alpina looked at each other and sighed. "Never ends does it?"
"I guess?" Aruto asked as he rummaged in his pocket and pulled out the strange yellow rock.
"...Where did you get that?" Sougo's eyes widened in shock and awe.
"I. I got this after a fight with some weird Magia. He was blue and red, silver chest plate and a weird..." Aruto explained trying to gesture with his hands. "'Fin helmet'? With clock hands pointing up and a similar belt to yours. Is he a monster of yours?"
"It had a 'Ziku Driver'?" Alpina asked, catching the pair of them on guard.
"It called itself 'Zamonas'. Does that name mean anything to you?" Aruto asked.
"It's an anagram. Meaning 'Amazons'." Alpina answered. "It must've been an enemy of ours who escaped."
"What do you know about this gemstone?" Izu asked.
"That's no ordinary gemstone. That's a 'Quartz'...capital 'Q'. It's a piece of solidified time." Sougo responded.
"'Piece of-'? It's a 'time stone'?" Aruto asked.
"'Quartz' is catchier," Sougo admitted.
"Solidifying time is impossible with current technology; how did this occur?" Izu questioned.
"It's a long story, but simply, that is an 'uncut Quartz'...though they've never been Yellow. Gold is the closest approximate, but never Yellow." Alpina responded. "Quartz were, and are, how we turn into Riders and our additional armours."
"There's Gold Quartz as well?" Aruto asked.
"Yes. Different Quartz means different aspects of time. Blood Red Quartz was used for my RideWatch, this." Sougo explained, showing his device.
"Blue is for my timeline." Alpina showed her RideWatch. "And potential upgrades."
"Green, mean alternate futures." Sougo carried on. "And Gold is...all time. Past, Present, Future."
...
"The multiverse and multiple timelines are real?!" Aruto asked in shock, his 'geeky side' coming out from years of manga and anime.
"Yes. And yes." Sougo chuckled, seeing his junior Rider's enthusiasm.
"We should call the others they're probably still fighting those other; 'Magia'?" Alpina commented, trying to get the terminology correct.
"Oh, right! Right!" Aruto nodded.
"... Should probably call my uncle." Sougo frowned "We got him a HumaGear assistant for the shop a few weeks ago. Best for him to know to be careful of these terrorists."
"A good idea." Izu agreed.
"Oh god, I hope that he's okay." Sougo added, calling up his uncle, taking a few steps away.
"I'm sure he is." Aruto agreed. "Do you have any means of transport?"
"We have, thank you. We're going to have to contact our friends." Alpina added. "They're Riders like us."
"And how is he?" Sougo asked as he was talking on the phone to the assistant. "He's asleep. Oh, that's good."
"More Riders...They might be helping AIMS and the police." Aruto commented.
"Reports from AIMS have indicated that they have assistance from two strange Riders," Izu informed.
"Red and green?" Alpina asked.
"Silver with green, actually," Izu responded.
"That's them." Alpina nodded.
"We should head to them. If the city's in trouble on this scale, we'll need all the help we can get." Aruto responded.
"Of course, we'll help. It's what Riders do."
"Okay, thank you," Sougo spoke down the phone. "They're alright, this 'Magia Attack' didn't get close to them."
"Alright, let's go," Aruto responded as he pulled up the RiseHopper.
"Oh, we've already got something." Alpina pulled out her RideWatch and pressed the top twice.
*With Fuwa and Yaiba*
"So, let me get this straight...you two are Riders who get their powers from time itself?" Yaiba asked while wrapped with intrigue.
"Exactly." Woz, the Green Rider, answered.
"You okay, dude?" Geiz the Red Rider, asked a dumbstruck Fuwa.
Fuwa just sighed heavily and shook his head. "All I know is: you saved our lives with this. Thanks."
"Any time." Geiz nodded.
"This is incredible." Yua thought to herself, thinking of the many possibilities that could be found by harnessing time itself. But no, this wasn't the time, she shook her head and composed herself. "This whole fight...Metsubou Jinrai couldn't have pulled this off so easily. It's not their style."
"I take it they're your enemies; right?" Geiz asked.
"Correct. They hack HumaGears and turn them into...that." Fuwa pointed. "We need to head to-"
"Commander Fuwa, Commanda Yaiba. There's another report!" A police officer spoke.
"What is it?" She turned to the police officer.
"There seems to be a small group of HumaGear approaching Hiden Intelligence! They have red systems!" The officer answered.
"What?!" The two snapped in shock.
"...Is that important?" Woz asked politely and in confusion.
"Red systems mean that they've been hacked! Damn it! This was a distraction!" Fuwa grunted, his hands throbbing.
He rushed over, getting on his bike.
"Fuwa, wait!" Geiz spoke out.
"We can't wait!" He responded, grunting a little from his hurt hands.
"Please, allow us," Woz responded as Geiz brought out his own RideWatch and pressed the button twice.
GEIZ!
"What're you-?" Yua asked.
"OH MY GOD!" Fuwa screamed in shock, looking up as they saw a large red and black robot with Geiz's Ridewatch as its head, yellow markings with yellow Hiragana that spelt 'Robo' on the silver watchstrap and black protrusions on his arms.
"All aboard," Geiz spoke calmly with a smug grin.
"Be warned. It can be cramped." Woz informed them.
"...Who's driving?" Yua asked as she pointed up.
Arriving at Hiden Intelligence, we find a large mechanical robot with white and gold markings and Tsukuyomi's Ridewatch for its head.
"This is incredible!" Aruto called out as he was sitting on a seat with Izu on his lap, the two were unaccustomed to this way of travel, save for one of Aruto's transformations.
"Yeah, it's not something we do often," Sougo responded.
"We're coming towards the building," Alpina spoke, driving towards Hiden Intelligence's but saw something...going on.
"That's not right." Izu frowned as she looked through the glass.
"What's going on?" Aruto asked in fear as he saw this.
"That's a mob." Zi-O frowned as he saw it. "Alpina."
"I'm on it." She nodded as she landed the mecha down just shy away from the company.
Aruto was struggling a little as he tried to get up from the seat.
"President Aruto, please be calm," Izu asked, sensing his heartrate rise.
"I-I've got to-!" Aruto struggled, trying to get out.
THUD!
"Okay, we've land-hey!" Alpina spoke before Aruto leapt out of the mecha.
"Aruto!" Sougo called out, seeing him run.
Aruto's eyes widened in shock as he saw this...dozens of HumaGear with red headsets and staring with dead eyes, out at the front of the company. "H-How? What's going on?"
Almost hypnotically, they responded in unison. "You are trespassing on private property. You are unwelcomed here."
Aruto was stunned as he saw this, hearing this. This was horrible. Hiden Intelligence was cut off! "No, this can't be right. Why is this-?" Aruto panicked as he saw this and wanted to get through...but Mamoru and the security team stomped forward.
Red eyes and red headsets as they parted through the barrier of HumaGear and produced someone was behind him. "Trespassers are unwelcome to Hiden Intelligence."
"Mamoru...what's happened? Why is this happening?" Aruto called out, trying to reach him, only to be swatted away to the ground.
"President Aruto!" Izu called out, running to his side.
"'Why'? You're asking 'why'? It's obvious...You thief!" A new and somewhat familiar voice responded, stepping from the shadows of Mamoru's security guards and revealing himself.
"Mr S-Sefy?" Aruto asked in shock, looking up from the ground.
"That's 'President Asai' to you!" He answered, looking more trimmed and styled than before. Wearing a fancy black silk suit, silver and white button shirt, a designer watch and shined leather shoes and wearing a blood-red and golden tie around his neck. "Grab her." He ordered Mamoru's men to grab Izu.
"What-Izu! Run!" Aruto ordered.
Izu got up and began to run, only for them to be surrounded by the wall of red eyes and headsets. "I cannot." She looked around in a panic as she was soon grabbed by the security guards and pulled back with force and she struggled as she was dragged back. "President Aruto!"
"Izu!" Aruto called out in fear as she struggled against them and he was pinned to the ground. "What are you going to do to her?"
Mr Asai pulled something out from his pocket...and revealed the Progrise Key he was given. "Tell me. Whom do you serve?"
"I am President Aruto's secretary." Izu answered.
He raised the Key and grabbed her hand.
Z̶̢̊3̵̮̋T̴̩͌_̶̤͝5̵͈̉U̵̹̾M̴͇̐3̴͌͜_̶̧̓Ť̸̯5̵͈̈Ǘ̴̖ ̶̟̇J̷̰̒Ù̶̼_̷͎̀M̸̘̆P̸̡̓!̷͇̍
Aruto's eyes widened as he saw the Key in Sefy's hands, hearing that distorted voice coming through the speaker as he stood there. "Hen. Shin." And was then covered in a terrifying black mist with digital yellow lightning as it transformed him and horrible screams could be heard from the mist itself.
A̸͍̍N̴̯̕Ȍ̴̮T̶͚͒H̶̑͜E̵̘͗R̴͎̈́ ̶̲͝Z̵̧͌E̷̮̔R̴̳̋Õ̵̪-̵̹̀Ö̸̪́Ņ̶́E̴̦̓!̵̭̄
Sefy's body was transformed into a horrible skeletal-like monster. A black, jagged and segmented bodysuit that looked partial scaled, partial insectoid segments and red veins; his boots had grasshopper claws on the top, segmented grasshopper leg-styled shinguards, protruding bent hopper legs for upper-leg guards, his thighs were protected by segmented plates, around his waist was a broken belt that looked like the Zero-One driver. Two neon-yellow-green arrows point left and right, a yellow-green circle in the middle with silver segments opposite it. A skeletal almost insectoid torso armour that looked like ribs melted together, bloody red veins underneath that; spiked black bracers with silver-plate segmented gloves that looked like claws, insect-wing designed shoulder pads and 'wings' shooting from his neck. And lastly its 'helmet'; or should it be 'skull'? Pitch black to match the suit with pulsing bloody red veins that hid behind a human skull-styled face with human teeth, hollowed eyes and a dead look about it.
A̴ ̸J̷u̶m̵p̵ ̵T̵o̶ ̸T̶h̸e̵ ̷S̸k̵y̵ ̵T̴a̸k̷e̸s̶ ̵O̶f̵f̵ ̶T̴o̷w̷a̴r̸d̵s̴ ̷E̴x̸t̴i̷n̴c̷t̷i̸o̸n̸!̴
Aruto was horrified to see that this had happened. "What have you done? What is that?"
"My RiGhTfUl PlAcE aS pReSiDeNt!" Sefy responded. "i Am ZeRo_OnE!"
Izu was scanning this new form. No, it wasn't a 'new form'. It was a horrible distortion of what Kamen Rider Zero-One was. A perversion of what this company stood for. "You are not." She answered simply, still trying to get free of the security guards.
Sefy glared angrily and grabbed her hand, seeing the QR Code on it and scanned it with his hand. "WhOm Do YoU sErVe?" He glared as Aruto ran at him, only to be stopped by the HumaGear under his control.
"President-." She began to answer before she felt a horrible pain shoot through her. Her mind vanished within itself.
FLASH!
Izu was standing in a white room, seeing the blue 0's and 1's appear and disappear around her...and then from her feet, inky blackness came. It seeped into every corner of the white room, as she tried to struggle to be free. She looked around trying to find the exit but horrible skeletal fingers stabbed into her body, coursing with dark yellow digital data.
The 0's and 1's began to vanish, all being replaced with 'President Asai' or 'Sefy' in bright red lettering that contrasted against the darkness as Izu screamed, her head going limp as dark yellow wires jammed into her headset shocking her. Her skin became cracked with digital lightning as it infected her mind.
"Aruto...!" She cried out in fear and anguish, losing whatever was left inside was gone.
The green bangs in her hair turned red while her eyes turned slowly began to open and were vacant.
FLASH!
Izu was slowly reactivated, all this happening in mere nano-seconds, as her eyes opened the innocent blue turned into hateful red, just as her headset did also.
"WhOm Do YoU sErVe?" Sefy ordered, releasing his grip on her hand and letting it fall slack to her waist...until her body robotically positioned herself to the 'respectful stance' Izu was known for having.
"I serve President Asai of Hiden Intelligence," Izu answered robotically, her eyes staring forwards and vacant as she was forced to pledge allegiance to this horrible being.
"IZU!" Aruto called out, ripping his way out of the security guards, but had to leave his business suit behind as he activated his Driver.
JUMP!
He rushed forwards in a blinde rage, rushing at Sefy. He... HE COULDN'T LOSE HER! NOT IZU!
HE COULDN'T!
The Hopper RideModule jumped around him, keeping the hacked HumaGear at bay
PROGRISE!
RISING HOPPER!
Aruto leapt into the air was ready to strike 'Another Zero-One'. He had him in his sights. One clean hit. His fist was ready to strike him square in the jaw...But his eyes widened.
Because without saying a word, Izu stepped in front of Another Zero-One!
He had to screech his momentum to a halt. He-he couldn't. He couldn't hurt her. His fist, so very close to her face, but he had held back enough.
"wEaK." Sefy responded, using Izu as a shield and launched his own attack past her hair as Sefy struck Aruto's head, causing large sparks on his face.
Aruto was flung back, crashing and rolled into the ground. The strength of his armour...it was weakened. How? He was supposed to have near-full protection, but this was different. It was like he was hit by a hammer while wearing cardboard armour.
"W-W-What?" Aruto asked, reaching up to hold his cheek only to see his right glove was... Glitchig? It looked like the fingers had turned to static, almost appearing to fade into nothing every now and again "What's happening?!" He gasped in horror, standing tall.
"HmM? sTiLl StAnDiNg? i NeEd tO hIt hArDeR tHeN!" Sefy glared as he pushed Izu out of the way and stepped towards Aruto with a defiant swagger and pomposity, raising his fists up and was prepared to slam them into Aruto's back. It was obvious this man had ever been in a fight before.
"Don't... Touch her!" Aruto yelled a moment before the hit, rolling away at the last second. He missed the strike and got to his feet... But he felt like he was wearing ten times the weight. He attempted to throw a punch but missed.
He had... He had to do something! Izu needed him! Hidden Intelligence and all the HumaGear needed him!
Who the hell was this insane bastard and what did he want?! Beyond making Aruto suffer?!
Well, the young president was prepared to bare the flames of hell of he had to!
SMASH!
Aruto had just dodged the oncoming stomp of Sefy's foot, causing broken concrete underneath which caused Aruto to flinch as debris got caught in his face; the helmet's integrity was weakening, it felt like it was melting away.
Izu remained stationary, just observing like the others, dead-eyed and expressionless.
"yOu SeE? tHiS iS wHaT tHe hIdeN fAmIlY iS wOrTh! nOthInG bUt tRasH uNdeR mY bOoTS!" Another Zero-One proclaimed, landing a harsh hit on Aruto's body, causing the back armour to disappear and Aruto forced to the floor. "hNN!" He grabbed Aruto from the floor, lifting him effortlessly over his head. "yOu dAmN cRiPpLE!"
"Really? What a disgusting jerk!" Sougo frowned, the King Rider shooting with his weapon. Managing to strike Another Zero One's arm.
"ARGH! wHo dAreS?" Another Zero-One grunted in pain, turning to see Sougo there in his Rider armour.
"A King dares!" Sougo responded, aiming his JikanGirade in its gun mode at him.
"tHiS iS jApAN! wE doN'T hAVe kInGS!" Another Zero-One snapped.
...
BANG!
BANG!
BANG!
"ArGH-HARgh!" Another Zero-One grunted, being shot multiple times.
"Time to put you in your place." Sougo spoke as he pulled out a different RideWatch. It was a red-based, golden yellow framed watch with a mask with red eyes inside.
KUUGA!
"CHOU HENSHIN!" Sougo proclaimed as he span his Driver.
RIDER TIME!
KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!
Another Zero-One ran at Sougo who just stood there, as a silver and red armour appeared and stopped the oncoming attack with its hollow fist and bent it back.
"HA!" Sougo threw a punch in the face of Another Zero-One through the empty gauntlet of the summoned armour as it formed over him.
ARMOUR TIME!
KUUGA~!
Sougo's armour had changed, now getting simple silver armour on his legs, plain metal red chest piece with round red shoulder guards, red bracers with golden bracelets for bracers and a silver helmet with a golden stag-beetle-like crest on his forehead with the pink visor Katakana reading 'Kuuga'.
"Love when that happens," Sougo commented as he began to fight Another Zero-One.
Aruto however was grunting, trying his best to get back to his feet. He felt heavy, the armour was weighing him down. He couldn't stand up properly.
But he moved. With almost inhuman determination he moved. Towards Izu.
"Izu, you have to break free from it," Aruto spoke, trying to reach her, the armour falling off his body and digitising to the ground as he was exposing his human body still in his hoodie.
Izu's emotionless face simply stared at Aruto, her red eyes hollow and dead inside. "You are not President Asai."
Aruto's heart sunk as he heard that, looking at her with despair. "Izu...please." He frowned, his mask fading away, revealing his face, the only piece of Zero-One remaining was the Driver.
"aRGh!" Another Zero-One grunted in pain, being flung to the ground. "bA5t4rD! hOW dARe yOu!"
"I thought I was done with self-righteous people like you," Zi-O commented, getting back up from the ground.
"Izu... Izu please... Don't... don't leave me..." Aruto begged as he moved closer, reaching out to her.
Izu's eyes began to flash rapidly as her hand twitched. They flashed red, but if was like the red was fighting to remain. She looked down at him, her mouth beginning to open to say something...
"GAH!" Aruto yelled as he was pulled off the ground suddenly, pulled towards Another Zero One by a swarm of black locusts.
"iZU i5. M1n3!" Another Zero-One hissed angrily, grabbing Aruto by the throat and lifting him up to his eyesight. "G00dBY3. Hiden." He threatened and was ready to break his neck.
CRASH!
A second mecha came crashing down, a similar appearance to the white one Alpina was using, but was red and black with a different head. "Sougo! Come on!" A voice called out through the speakers.
"My King!" A different voice called out, as Another Zero-One dropped Aruto.
"I've got you!" Sougo grabbed Aruto who was now catatonic.
Aruto was limp in Sougo's arms, being dragged away as Another Zero-One was grunting in pain, seeing the large mecha above him and his controlled HumaGears were crushed underfoot. "Wh4T iS tH4t?"
"Sougo, come on!" Alpina's voice proclaimed as her mecha grabbed them as their two machines flew away.
"G0 4h3aD aNd RUn. BuT OnlY I c0nTr0L ZEA!" And reached his hand up to the sky and shot a beam of dark digital yellow energy, pinpointed right at the Hiden Satellite in orbit.
HACKRISE!
And the sky itself seemed to turn red for a few moments.
The figures in the mecha looked through the cockpit's visors, seeing the sky turn red. "Oh no." Yua whispered.
"No, not again." Geiz followed up in worry.
"It's not going to be that way," Woz reassured.
Aruto was still out of it, horrified, hurt and unresponsive. He just looked down, his Driver in his peripheral vision. He didn't know what to say.
"Where can we go? This is a dangerous situation!" Alpina panicked.
"...DayBreak," Fuwa growled reluctantly. "We need to go to DayBreak."
"Why?" Sougo asked "What's Zea? What's going on?"
...
"You REALLY did not pay attention in class, did you?" Geiz huffed.
"Says the guy who walked out of a test!" Sougo snapped.
"Boys!" Alpina finished it.
"Zea is Hiden Intelligence's Sattelite, that monster must have hacked it and we're going to a place where our enemies are." Yua quickly informed them.
"Okay, so what does this satellite do?" Woz inquired.
"Zea controls all HumaGear that are made by Hiden Intelligence," Yua explained.
"...Oh no. Uncle!" Sougo panicked holding his head.
"I'm sure Aura and Wol will get somewhere safe," Alpina answered.
"Doesn't stop me from worrying about them," Sougo responded.
"Where's this 'DayBreak' anyway?" Geiz asked.
"You can't miss it. It's a giant lake with an electrified fence around it with a massive dam blocking it." Fuwa answered.
"In putting coordinates now," Geiz answered, as he and Alpina were flying off.
"Why are we going there?" Woz asked.
"That's where the last two HumaGear who aren't controlled by Hiden. And our enemies who can help stop this." Fuwa answered.
"Enemy of my enemy. Got it." Geiz answered as he drove.
"Have you had to deal with this sort of team-up?" Yua asked.
"I was a former enemy. Along with my fellow 'Time Jackers'." Woz explained.
"...Couldn't have picked a better name?" Fuwa asked.
"'Extinction Thunderclap'." Yua responded simply.
"Point taken." Fuwa nodded.
"I'm sorry, what?" Sougo asked as he looked at Aruto in worry, the senior Rider concerned for the young president's near catatonic state
"We are going to Daybreak. We only have one option." Yua frowned "We have... to ask for Metsubo Jinrai's help."
