Several days had passed since the appearance of Kamen Rider Woz. Many people talked about him, asking if his belt was a miracle worker, or even who he might be. Adrien would be lying if he said these questions hadn't crossed his mind.

Talking about the young model, he woke up for some reason on a bench, alone and without the ring he always carried with him. He was wondering about this since he had fallen asleep in bed. However, one thing was even more alarming for him when he walked past a store whose window showed televisions that carried a TV news with a date, specifically the year, that alarmed him…

2022

It was a few years in the future...

"What's going on?" He asked, surprised and a little scared by this, while wondering how he arrived at that time.

But his thoughts before he saw several people running away. Taking his courage in both hands he went in the opposite direction to see what was happening. And he saw people being attacked by humanoid monsters with the head of an insect wearing black clothes identical to those of ninjas armed with swords.

One of them tried to attack him, but he easily managed to subdue and disarm him. And seeing that the Ladybug and Cat Noir of that time did not intervene while taking into account that he did not have his Miraculous, he hastened to take the sword of the monster who attacked him and fought those who attacked people to allow them to escape.

But the large number of monsters caught up with him very quickly until a girl dressed in a purple ninja outfit with a mask hiding her face left only a pair of bright yellow-brown eyes visible which knocked out a number of them with ease.

"Are you all right?" She asked the teenager.

"Yes, I am..." Answered Adrien by beating another one. "Who are you?" He asked him.

"I'm the shadow that protects people from these things." The girl replied without telling him her name.

"Is it Hawk Moth that sends them?" Adrien asked.

"Who is Hawk Moth?" Asked the girl before all the monsters, even the beaten ones, got up and put themselves in fighting position. "We'll talk about this later." She says before taking out a silver Japanese canteen with a small purple panel showing an eye showing a holographic shuriken.

She opened the bottle and poured the liquid towards her waist before it went around her waist and formed a black belt. She then took out an object resembling a silver shuriken with a little purple on its left side symbolizing the trail left behind a shuriken when it is thrown.

"Henshin!" Said the girl as she placed the shuriken on her belt and turned it around and a voice came out of the belt.

Dare ja ? Ore ja ? Ninja! Shinobi kenzan!

Suddenly as the voice coming from the belt spoke a purple parchment scroll comes out of the belt while a mechanical purple frog appears behind it. The frog spat out a purple and black armor that placed itself over the girl giving her a masculine appearance. On his chest was a pattern of silver shuriken as well as one that was on his helmet showing yellow eyes with on his forehead a silver plate with in the middle the pattern of the same weapon, at his neck was a scarf which like the majority of his armor is purple.

"The shinobi whose heart… is as sharp as a blade! Kamen Rider Shinobi!" Says the girl, presenting the name of the warrior she has become while taking out a sword from behind her back.

Ninpo Kirisute!

"Kamen Rider?" Said Adrien wondering why the girl's hero name had the same beginning as Woz's name.

Quickly but efficiently, Shinobi manages to fight but also to slaughter all monsters without exception with various sword handling techniques as well as with various ninja techniques comparable to what we could see in manga like Naruto such as spitting purple fire or generating small purple tornadoes.

"Unbelievable." Said Adrien after seeing this Kamen Rider in action.

Before he could talk to this heroine of the future, his vision became blurred and then darkened.

When he opened his eyes, he could see that he was back in his room in his pajamas with Plagg eating cheese.

"It's a strange dream." He said seeing the time before getting out of bed to get ready.

Elsewhere in an alley, the teenage girl spied on by the black-clad teenager could see a child being assaulted by a gang of thugs. Seeing how they were with him, she decided to intervene and quickly put them in their place, using a pipe lying on the ground as a weapon.

The child quickly thanked her before leaving. But as he crossed the road a car accelerated instead of stopping and came close to running over the child. The teenage girl got worried and ran towards the child to catch up with him and save him from imminent death when suddenly ...

Time stood still...

The teenager could move, but everything around her was now motionless, even the child and the car that was about to hit her.

"It's tragic, right?" Says a voice coming from behind her.

She quickly turned around to see the teenager who had spied on her several days earlier looking at her before turning her attention to the child.

"So young and yet so close to death. If you hadn't helped him he would have been beaten up, but he wouldn't have a date with the bumper of a car." He says.

"Who are you?" The teenager asked suspiciously.

"Oh, silly me, I didn't introduce myself." Said the teenager before bowing politely to her interlocutor. "My name is Wrath." He says, standing up straight again. "And you are?" He asks.

"Kagami Tsurugi." Kagami simply replied before looking at the child again.

She was about to run to save him, but suddenly her body also froze, except for her head, which could still move.

"I'm sorry, but that's not why I stopped time." Said Wrath before coming face to face with Kagami. "I'll make you a deal, I'll give you the power to save people and fight the vermin from these scum without the hassle of a weapon, and in exchange you have to get some people's attention for me." He proposed.

"... And if I refuse?" Asked Kagami, suspecting that his interlocutor is hiding something from him.

"I'll start the time again and this poor kid will be reversed by the car without you being able to do anything. Just as it was planned." Wrath replied with a shrug.

"... I accept..." Kagami said hesitantly accepting his offer.

Wrath smiled with satisfaction before taking out the Ridewatch he was holding while watching him. He presses the button and a low distorted voice is heard.

Shinobi!

Without any further delay he put the ridewatch into Kagami's body.

Lightning dice appeared from Kagami's body as her body was no longer frozen in time and she was in too much pain as her body was covered with a black substance that made her look like a monstrous version of Kamen Rider Shinobi.

Several hours later, Washio's class was on break and he was approached by a slender, medium-sized teenage girl. She has light ocean blue eyes and light honey blonde hair. Her hair is pulled back in a high ponytail.

She had to wear light blue eye shadow, light lipstick and a light peach blush. She was wearing some accessories such as a gold chain necklace with a gold sphere charm, and white-rimmed sunglasses on her head. She wore a yellow long-sleeved jacket over a white shirt with black stripes around her waist. The rest of her outfit included white denim capris with a diamond studded belt and white shoes with black lining and soles.

"Why don't you participate in class? You are always silent. Aren't you afraid you're going to look like an idiot?" Asked the blonde in a haughty tone.

She was probably hoping that what she said would hurt him emotionally, but the reaction she received was quite different.

He was content without even a glance of the past in front of her, as if she hadn't said anything.

"Hey! I talked to you!" she says.

"And nothing forces me to listen to you." Said Washio not wanting to play the blonde game until a redheaded teenager wearing a pair of glasses speaks.

"Chloe, did you see the news?" Asked the redhead to the blonde who seemed to be her friend.

"No, what's going on? This better be important." Said Chloe in the same high-pitched tone as before.

"Very. There have even been deaths." Says the redhead, surprising the whole class.

"What?!" Said Marinette as she got out her phone to see an article that appeared just a half hour ago. "Somebody had a spontaneous combustion with purple flames. Another was swept away by a purple tornado inside a building. Another drowned where there was no water." She says, reading the article.

"It's impossible that kind of thing." Says Washio, pretending that the class was just playing a joke on him.

"Unless it's a new super villain sent by Hawk Moth." Says a French-Creole girl from Martinique.

She has heart-shaped lips, hazel eyes and a mole above the forehead. Her hair is wavy and shaded reddish-brown, growing slightly past her shoulders and has slight coppery tips. She wears dark horn-rimmed glasses with a white spot on each side. Her outfit consists of a white tank top under a short-sleeved checked shirt with white, orange and purple stripes; light blue jeans and white sneakers with black tops. She wears a light red lipstick.

Suddenly a strong wind blew into the classroom before the monster that Kagami has become appears to all the students.

"Another Rider..." Whispers Washio without anyone hearing it.

"Kamen Rider Shinobi..." Whispers Adrien remembering the Kamen Rider of his dream.

The monster turned his head towards Washio before trying to attack him. However, Washio succeeded in avoiding the attack and began running to escape the monster as panic set in. He managed to lock himself in the locker room so that finally the monster did not notice his presence by removing a paper representing everything behind, giving the illusion of invisibility.

"You made a deal with Wrath. What did he ask you in exchange?!" Washio asked.

The monster could only grunt in response. Then Washio came out and put the BeyonDriver in his hand and placed it at his waist.

BeyonDriver!

"I have no choice but to use my Miridewatch against you." Said Washio, revealing the name of the kind of ridewatch that became the one he used, he took it out and pressed his button.

Woz!

Washio placed the Miridewatch on the lever of his BeyonDriver.

Action!

Once this word was spoken by the Miridewatch he pressed his button again, opening the Miridewatch in half as the waiting jingle played.

"Henshin." Said Washio as he slammed the lever on his Driver to complete his transformation.

Touei! Future Time! Sugoi! Jidai! Mirai! Kamen Rider Woz! Woz!

Once he was transformed into Kamen Rider Woz the fight could begin.

In spite of Another Shinobi's ninja techniques, Woz managed to stand up to him and even hit him several times until he was sent to the yard where Ladybug and Cat Noir had just arrived, while the principal and teacher of Washio's class came out of the teachers' room to see what was going on.

Deciding to distract the heroes, Another Shinobi spewed purple flames in the direction of the two adults, causing Woz to get in between the two college staff members.

"Woz!" Shouted the two heroes worried as they heard him screaming in pain from the heat, which despite his armor was making him suffer.

Once the flames stopped being spit out, Woz knelt down and Another Shinobi took advantage of the fact that everyone was focused on Woz to disappear as if he had thrown a smoke bomb.

The heroes as well as the two adults went to the Kamen Rider to help him get up.

"Are you all right?" Asked the worried teacher for the one who saved his life, earning a nod from the concerned person.

"What was this Akumatized? Hawk Moth has never given such power to anyone." Said Ladybug when he saw the strength of Another Shinobi's strike force.

"He was not an Akumatized." Woz replied, standing with difficulty. "It's Another Rider. They are monsters created by people who inject the corrupted power of a Kamen Rider into other people. Sometimes the power takes over their host. And in the majority of cases the hosts keep control. But this time I think we're in the first case." He explained.

"Wait! " Said the teacher stopping the Kamen Rider. "Is there any way to stop it?" She asked.

"Yes, you have to create a Ridewatch or Miridewatch with the power of the Kamen Rider from which the Another Rider is derived, and use it to confront him. But it's not that simple." Woz replied.

"Why?" Asked Cat Noir.

"Because when Another Rider is created the story is rewritten, making the original Kamen Rider disappear." Woz replied with a sigh as he made his e-book appear.

He opened it and scrolled through the pages on the left side until he came to a precise line.

"In view of his abilities and what is reported in my chronicles, this Another Rider is based on Kamen Rider Shinobi." Said Woz making Cat Noir tremble, which he noticed. "You know something?" He asked.

"Yes... I... I had a dream that a Kamen Rider with that name appeared. I thought it was strange that there was someone else with that name." Cat Noir explained what surprised Woz.

"Follow me. Ladybug, you have to make sure that in our absence the Other Rider makes as few victims as possible." Said Woz before leaving quickly despite his injury.

Cat Noir followed him until he arrived on a roof on which landed after emerging from a portal a kind of small spaceship resembling a kind of floating motorcycle.

"What is this?!" Asked Cat Noir was both surprised and amazed by the machine.

"It's my Time Mazine, a time travel machine." Woz replied before part of Time Mazine opened and they entered a large room that looked like it was straight out of a science fiction movie with two levers that seemed to serve as a control system.

" Amazing, you come from the future..." Deduces Cat Noir with his mouth wide open.

"In your dream, what year was it? "Asked Woz.

"Oh, uh... 2022." Answered Cat Noir, remembering his dream.

Woz entered the date into the Time Mazine system and jolts were felt as Woz took the joysticks and started driving the vehicle. But several seconds after the shaking subsided, even more violent news was heard before the machine crashed into the yard at the entrance to the college.

"I don't believe it!" Shouted Woz with frustration.

"What's wrong?" Asked Cat Noir.

"You can't travel at this time. Something is blocking our way." Woz replied.

"Your machine is not very well developed." Said Cat Noir.

"Don't judge it, it's gone much further back in time than you think." Said Woz before they came out of Time Mazine, which again passes through a portal and disappears.

Later the heroes decide to separate to find Another Shinobi.

However Woz had other project. He removed the Miridewatch from the BeyonDriver, again becoming Washio took his e-book. He opened the book and used his stylus to write something in it.

"Adrien Agreste fight Another Shinobi and from this confrontation was born the Shinobi Miridewatch." He said, closing his book once he finished writing the sentence.

A few minutes later in the same alley where Kagami was transformed into Another Shinobi, she was standing in front of Wrath who took her by the shoulders.

"Fantastic! You are one of the most interesting tools in my project so far. Enough moral sense to defend the weak, but not enough willpower to resist the power of Another Rider! What more could I hope for?!" Said Wrath in a friendly and enthusiastic tone contrasting with the way he acted when he made his pact with Kagami.

"Maybe they're putting a stop to your plans." Says Cat Noir standing at the entrance of the alley, immediately attracting the attention of the Another Rider and his creator.

"That wouldn't be too awkward. You can't beat Another Rider." Said Wrath before waving to Another Shinobi to attack.

The Another Rider put up a fight that looked like it would be a tough fight for Cat Noir.

From the top of a building, Washio in his silvery outfit, without having removed his rings, observed the fight. He was surprised by the skills of Cat Noir who combined his agility with the fighting stick which was used as a weapon to counter the assaults of Another Shinobi and retaliated right after.

As the fight was now taking place outside the alley, Cat Noir was somewhat hesitant to use the power of his Miraculous because of Another Shinobi's host. But he thought about what Woz explained and decided to try it, hoping that it would destroy the power and not its host.

"Cataclysm!" He shouted as his left hand began to crackle black.

He then rushed on Another Shinobi and gave it a punch that caused a small explosion, which sent Another Shinobi to the ground. And turning the Another Rider back into Kagami.

"Oh no..." Said Cat Noir recognizing the Asian girl.

He was about to join her but suddenly his body was frozen in time even though the rest of the world continued as if time was following its normal course.

"I admit that this was unexpected. "Said Wrath on the way to Kagami.

He then plunged his hand into Kagami's chest and pulled out Another Shinobi's Ridewatch.

"What did you do to her?!" Shouted Cat Noir angrily as he saw what the girl was the monster he had just fought.

"I just gave him the power to be the shadow that protects people. Nothing more, even if it is not strong enough to remain conscious once transformed." Wrath replied.

At that moment Wrath's choice of word made Cat Noir realize one thing, the girl he saw become Kamen Rider Shinobi in his dream was none other than Kagami.

"Kagami! You must not become that monster again. The power you held, if you fight for what is right, for what a hero has to fight for... then your future will be that of a hero!" Said Cat Noir wanting to help Kagami.

Wrath, not caring what the hero said, pressed the Ridewatch button again.

Shinobi!

He was about to place it back into Kagami's body when Kagami grabbed his wrist to arrest him.

"No... I don't want... to become that monster again... I had accepted to save the child... to become a monster... it's not the future I choose!" Said Kagami with determination.

Washio smiles at this as he watches a black Miridewatch illuminated with a purple light while the back becomes the same color, the front becomes silver and an illustration of Kamen Rider Shinobi's face appears on it.

"Sorry, but no refusals will be tolerated." Said Wrath, forcing the Ridewatch into Kagami's body with his arm, which twisted in pain and turned into Another Shinobi again.

At that moment, he brought out his BeyonDriver and placed it at his waist.

BeyonDriver!

He took out his Woz Miridewatch and pushed his button.

Woz!

Quickly he placed the lever on his Beyond Driver and pressed the button again to open it.

Action!

"Henshin." Said Washio as he slammed the lever on his Driver to complete his transformation.

Touei! Future Time! Sugoi! Jidai! Mirai! Kamen Rider Woz! Woz!

Once transformed as the transformation sound played and caught everyone's attention he jumped from the building where he was to land in front of Cat Noir who was no longer frozen.

"You like to land by surprise." Says Cat Noir.

"The surprise is all the stronger." Retorted Woz before turning his attention to Another Shinobi. "With to your will, Kagami Tsurugi, we can free you from this power that controls you." He said, pointing to the Shinobi Miridewatch before pressing the button that makes the same voice speak as his Miridewatch.

Shinobi!

He opened the lever of the BeyonDriver, removed the Miridewatch was on it, placed Shinobi's and pressed the button again to open it.

Action!

Without pronouncing anything he slams the lever on his Driver as when he initiates his transformation and at the same time as the transformation jingle of this Miridewatch plays new pieces of armor appear around Woz before standing on him and the writing on his head changes.

Touei! Future Time! Dare ja? Ore ja? Ninja! Futurering Shinobi! Shinobi!

He now has on the middle of his chest a purple shuriken and a scarf running down his neck before disappearing in his armor being visible only in a few places thanks to the strap on his chest and two other purple shurikens on his shoulders. The outline of his visor and its needles are now purple with the writing on his helmet which has now become "Shinobi" in purple katakana.

"Rejoice! The reader of the past and the future. The prophet who will write the proper timeline. And his name is Kamen Rider Woz Futurering Shinobi ! This is the new page of a new history!" Said Woz presenting his new form with the same speech as when he introduced himself.

"A power?" Said Cat Noir surprised when Ladybug had just arrived after discovering that a fight between his teammate and Another Shinobi was taking place.

"Woz has gained a power." She noticed as she looked at the new appearance of their ally.

"Damn you, Woz." Said Wrath before looking at Another Shinobi. "Kill him!" He shouted before fleeing.

Obeying Wrath's command, Another Shinobi attacked.

Ladybug and Cat Noir is getting ready to fight, but the Cat Noir's ring started beeping, pushing him to run away so that no one knows his identity. And on top of that, thanks to its new shape Woz now fights on an equal footing with the Another Rider.

During the fight he used exactly the same technique as Another Shinobi. He even hid in his shadow to attack him by surprise, he continued again and again until Another Rider was quite weak.

To end this fight, Woz opened the lever of the BeyonDriver and immediately slammed it.

Beyond The Time! Ninpou! Jikan Shibari no Jutsu!

He then rushed towards Another Shinobi and once he was close enough, he kicked it backwards which caused a small explosion, leaving Woz in front of a Kagami with some blood on his face and the Another Shinobi Ridewatch on the ground which started to emit some electric arc before breaking into several pieces.

"Kagami!" Shouted a voice from behind Shinobi that came closer to him and the girl.

This person was Adrien who was waiting for the right moment once his Miraculous cancelled his transformation into a Cat Noir to arrive. He stopped once in front of the Japanese girl and helped her to get up.

The latter smiled, happy that her ordeal as Another Shinobi was over. She looked at the Kamen Rider who, from the way he stood, let himself be seen without them being able to see his face which he felt for her.

"Thank you." She said before leaving with Adrien who urged her to stand up.

Woz nodded his head before turning his attention to Ladybug. He nodded his head in his direction and left without saying a word, disappearing into a small purple tornado.

Elsewhere in Paris, more precisely a dark dome lit by just a round window, he found a man holding a small purple brooch in his hands, which had inside the image of a beautiful blonde woman with green eyes.

This man is very tall, his skin tone is clear with a pink tint. He has light blue eyes and his hair is hidden. He is wearing a dark purple city shirt with a black butterfly lapel, a dark purple brooch with four strands of light pink fabric coming out of it, making him look like a butterfly in the center of the collar and black suit pants. On most of his face and neck, he wears a silver mask that hides his entire face except for his eyes and his mouth and chin. He also has a dark indigo cane.

"This new hero could be an obstacle as well as an ally. I need to know more about him. "Says the man, looking at the image with love.

The next morning all discussions revolved around Kamen Rider Woz, Washio's class in particular, his intervention in the attack of Another Shinobi and how he protected their teacher was the most discussed moment.

Washio smiled at this but noticed when the teacher entered the room the evasive look she had. He was even the first to react.

"Miss. Bustier, are you all right?" He asked, drawing the attention of the entire class to the teacher, who quickly shook her head.

"Yes, everything is fine. Thank you for asking, Washio." Said Miss. Bustier calmly. "Sit down, we can start the class." She said as all the students did what she said.
