In a desert and mountainous landscape, a man was found. He wore black armor with much gilding, especially on his shoulders, arms, and legs, with a black watch strap running from his neck to his waist and another gilded one positioned like a mayor's scarf, a golden belt with a small dial showing "2018" in red. His helmet looks like a gold watch frame with diamonds surrounding black with on the visor "Rider" written in dark red katakana.

He confronts gigantic black robots leading the assault against him. He fought them all without a problem, until the last robot took advantage of the destruction of the second robot still standing with a wave of his hand. The man turned around to take care of the last robot when time stopped, both for the robot and the man.

But the man arrived quickly moved again and observed around him to find the source of this event to find several meters away the battle... a child.

A little boy looking like he was five years old with short black hair and green eyes. He was wearing torn and dusty clothes with two assembled rings hanging by a string and had his hand outstretched in the direction of the man and the machine.

The man walking towards the child who lowered his arm without moving back, and once he was close enough he looked the child straight in the eyes who did not flinch, keeping an innocent expression, as if he had not understood what he was going through but was amazed by it.

Without saying anything, the man lifted the child and carried him on one arm before leaving.


Washio's eyes slowly opened, he was inside his Time Mazine, he observed a wall hidden in the background by a camouflage where he could see a whole myriad of Ridewatches of different colors as well as different years and symbols.

It was two days after the fight against Another Ryuki, he couldn't help but feel guilty about it. Suddenly, he heard a ringing sound reminiscent of 8-bit video game music. He took out of one of his pockets a phone looking like a Ridewatch, his eyes widened.

No one knew the number of this phone except him. He decided to press the button to pick up the phone to find out who was calling him.

"Hello?" He said.


Later, at the Collège Françoise Dupont, Lila was talking to another student when Chloé approached her and the person Lila was talking to left immediately for fear of being insulted by the mayor's daughter.

"Hey, you!" Shouted Chloe before stopping once we got close enough to Lila. "That magic code you told me to call Ladybug? It was just a big joke, wasn't it?" She said.

"Of course it wasn't. Why? Weren't you with Ladybug yesterday?" Asked Lila.

"Uh... yes?" Chloe answered.

"So, it worked." Retorted Lila.

"Uh... yes? Ok, very good! You're not completely useless!" Says Chloe as she walks away with Sabrina while Lila smiles.


A little later, in a massage parlour with Chinese decoration and objects of Chinese influence inside the building was a small old Chinese man.

This man had dark brown eyes, gray hair and a moustache as well as a goatee. He wore a red Hawaiian shirt with a white hibiscus flower pattern, beige capri pants, dark brown shoes, and a bracelet on his right wrist.

Washio entered the massage parlor and the man heard the bell at the door of the parlor and prepared to greet him before seeing the BeyonDriver that Washio was holding in his right hand. Even though he only saw it on television, he recognized the belt.

"Wayzz, shell...!" began the man before he was stopped by Washio, who placed his hand in front of his mouth to silence him.

"I don't want to hurt you. Just have information." Said Washio hoping to convince the old man.

The old man changed his mind as the BeyonDriver disappeared from the teenager's hand. The teenager and the old man talked, mainly about what their respective equipment was. The old man showed Washio a tablet by scrolling through the pages of a scanned book with illustrations of different Miracoulous. One of them caught his attention.

"Wait." Said Washio, pointing to a page depicting a person dressed in blue and armed with a fan reminiscent of a peacock's tail with a brooch also resembling it.

"It's the Peacock Miraculous, it can be used to make trails. Unfortunately, its wearer is teaming up with the Butterfly as you have seen." Explained the old man reminding Washio of the Poupéflekta incident and a giant lollipop monster that attacked recently.

Washio était intrigue par ce Miraculous et son pouvoir.

"Thank you for the information. Mister..." Said Washio who did not know the name of the old man.

"Fu." The old man introduced himself. "And I'm the one to thank you. For having shared with me this knowledge about these Ridewatches when you didn't have to" He said.

"Perhaps. But that puts me on an equal footing with Marinette and Adrien." Retorted Washio surprising Fu. "They should check that nobody is watching them." He said, pointing to the Taka Watchroid Ridewatch before he left.


In the Agreste manor, Gabriel was sitting in front of his desk while Wrath was looking at the portrait of the woman in his office, the same woman who is in the incubator in the hidden room of the manor.

"So you're doing all this for her?" Wrath asked.

"Yes." Gabriel simply replied.

"I find it a bit too melodramatic, especially since you don't seem to give your son too much importance." Wrath commented, irritating Gabriel.

"I wish you wouldn't need that kind of comment." He said in a less calm tone than usual.

"But it's true. From the point of view of secret identity, isolating yourself so much helps. But paternal, it's a different story. Especially when you isolate him like that outside of class." Says Wrath.

Before Gabriel could make a comment, the door began to open and Wrath disappeared in a reflection of a small photo frame representing Gabriel and Adrien. The fashion designer looked at the door to see Adrien.

"What is it, Adrien?" Asked Gabriel.

"Uh, father... I have a friend who invited me to sleep at his house for the evening. Doesn't that bother you?" Asked Adrien.

Gabriel was about to refuse before he saw Wrath's picture frame with "say yes" written on it. This made him think about it and Adrien's father decided to let it go this time.

"All right." He agreed.

"Really?" Said Adrian with eyes wide open in amazement.

"Yes, I think letting this happen at least once won't hurt anyone." Says Gabriel, giving his son a warm smile.

As a thank you Adrien approaches his father to hug him quickly before the latter advises him to go and prepare his belongings. Gabriel then looked at the photo frame that Wrath had entered to hide in, and saw that it had disappeared from the reflection, but didn't worry about it.

A few seconds later in the mansion, Nathalie walked into the living room with her tablet in her hand. Suddenly, Wrath came out of the reflection of a window and startled Gabriel's assistant.

"You weren't supposed to appear like that, Adrien could see you. " Reprimanded Nathalie.

"I know, but seeing as he's busy, it won't be a problem. I need you to do me a favor." Says Wrath, holding in one hand the Ridewatch he was holding when Gabriel signed an alliance with Lila without her knowing he's Hawk Moth.


A few hours later, Adrien arrived in front of a rather banal house, a sports bag containing clothes and cleaning product for him, Plagg was still in his jacket.

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" Asked Plagg, slightly worried about Adrien's secret identity.

"Don't worry. If you're discreet enough, he won't notice anything." Reassured Adrien by approaching the door and pressing the doorbell.

The door opened and Adrian was greeted by Washio who let him in.

"You were fast." Washio commented amused.

"I told myself to enjoy it, I didn't expect my father to accept it so easily." Said Adrien, still happy at the idea of sleeping at a friend's house.

Adrien saw that the interior of the house, in addition to being perfectly furnished, was very commonplace. Grayish white walls, some console, video games, and a library full of series and movie DVDs.

"Are you parents renting the house where they lived?" Asked Adrien.

"Not really it was my grandmother's house. My parents bought it when she died and kept the furniture, I just added my DVDs and games." Said Washio as Adrien put down his bag and watched the DVDs. "What do you want us to do?" he asked.

"I hesitate... there are a lot of games and series I'm curious about." Says Adrien.

"We can do both. A small game, then we order ourselves to eat before starting a series, it is you who choose." Washio suggested as he went to get a drink from the fridge with Plagg behind him without Adrien noticing, too busy thinking about which game to try and which show to watch.

Washio opened the refrigerator Plagg from putting his hands in front of his mouth so as not to scream with joy and attracted the attention of the host by seeing dozens of camembert of different brands over his shoulder.

The Kamen Rider in civilian clothes closed the door and turned around without paying attention to Plagg whom he had already noticed without showing it and went to see Adrien. And once he was in the living room with a bottle of water and two glasses, Plagg discreetly opened all the camembert he could by going back and forth several times to eat as much as he could while the teenagers were busy.

About two hours later a pizza delivery man arrived by scooter in front of the house and before he had time to react he was hit and passed out and the attacker rang the bell. Washio left to open the door before seeing Mayura at the door grabbed him by the collar before leaving while Adrien went into the hallway and saw this.

"Plagg, claws out!" Said Adrien while transforming himself into a Cat Noir, disappointing Plagg who hadn't yet finished tasting the camembert before being sucked into Adrien's ring.

Black Cat set off in pursuit of Mayura until she arrived at a park where she had to let go of Washio who was content to smile at Mayura's act.

"You made a mistake by letting me go." Said the teenager with a quick kick that pulled Mayura back to a reasonable distance.

He made the BeyonDriver appear in his hand and placed it at her waist.

BeyonDriver!

He took out his Miridewatch and pressed his button.

Woz!

He then placed it on the lever of the Beyond Driver.

Action!

Once this word spoken by the Miridewatch he pressed his button again, opening it in half while the waiting jingle plays.

"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 into Kamen Rider Woz he could only admire the surprised glances of the two Miraculous bearers.

"Now, I will test my strength against a Miraculous bearer." Said Woz before initiating a fight against Mayura with the help of Cat Noir.

The two heroes manage to put Mayura in trouble quite easily, but the woman's fighting skills were not to be underestimated, even managing to surprise Woz with some surprise.

However, she was put in difficulty when she felt a strong cough, allowing Woz and Cat Noir to take over her, until the two heroes found themselves frozen in time but still aware of what was going on and able to talk.

"You took a big risk by revealing your identity, Washio..." said Wrath, pointing out his presence to the three opponents.

"Wrath..." Said Woz angrily as his enemy moved towards Mayura and helped her to stand up.

"We can at least take the Miraculous of Cat Noir, it will be one more step towards victory." Said Mayura as he tried to get closer to the duo but was prevented from doing so by Wrath.

"Your victory. Not mine. Let's wait a little longer. The more time goes by, the more my help could benefit you." Said Wrath before Mayura's reach and left.

A few seconds later, Woz and Cat Noir were no longer frozen in time and could only see helplessly that the two villains were no longer visible.

"Why did you reveal your identity? Now the Butterfly can come after you anytime?!" Cat Noir screams as Woz removes the Miridewatch from the BeyonDriver, becoming Washio again.

"It didn't make much difference, Wrath already knew who I was." Said Washio as he pulled the Shinobi Miridewatch out of one of his pockets and approached Cat Noir. "But we'll talk about this at my place, Adrien." He murmured as Cat Noir's eyes widened at the mention of his real name as Washio pressed the Ridewatch button.

Shinobi!

Suddenly a purple tornado surrounded the two heroes who disappeared.

While from a window of a building near the park, Lila had been able to see them. And she was furious that Washio, the newest student in the class, had managed to get everyone in her pocket so easily. She had also succeeded, but unlike her, he had managed to win the friendship of everyone except Chloe, even Marinette, and it didn't even seem like he intended to. She was determined to pay him back, and she already had an idea of how to do it.

But she wasn't the only one who saw them, there was also a teenager leaning against a wall down the street. He was wearing a black hat, a red jacket with a dark blue t-shirt underneath, jeans and chewy shoes, and was wearing a gold necklace with a question mark around his neck.


The next day at Collège François-Dupont, Adrien looked at Washio who remained calm and acted as if it was just a normal school day. He saw Lila begin to cough violently as if she could not breathe, Washio devoted himself to take the teenager to the infirmary and they left the classroom and once far enough away Lila stopped coughing and faced Washio.

"I thought you were faking it." Said Washio, catching Lila off guard before she got into the thick of it to regain control of the situation.

"Well, as far as I'm concerned I know who you are... Kamen Rider Woz." She says with her usual calm and slightly haughty tone in front of an impassive Washio.

"What do you want?" Asked the teenager calmly.

"I want you to do everything I tell you, absolutely everything. If you don't, I'll tell everyone your secret, I'll tell them that you tried to abuse me... how will they react to that kind of thing." Lila said threateningly, while Washio only had a scowling, staring expression that scared the girl who began to back away.

"You have a great interest in listening to me very carefully, Lila Rossi. Your blackmail is not working. I am not Marinette who wants to please Adrien. I am not Chloé who desperately wants to contact Ladybug. I'm not Adrien who wants to believe that nobody is entirely bad. I'm probably one of the only people in this school who can see through your game. You are just a grain of sand, lost in the beach of time. You don't scare me." Said Washio as he approached Lila who continued to back away.

"You think you're stronger than me. But let's face it, without being Akumatized... you're nothing but a compulsive liar. One sentence sums up people like you perfectly in my eyes." He then said that Lila had her back to the wall as he kept coming closer until he was close enough to her so that their faces were only a few centimeters away from each other. "You... make me... puke..." He says before turning around and going back to class, leaving Lila terrified and cowering on her lap before she begins to cry.

Once in the classroom, Washio explained to Mrs. Bustier that Lila had stayed in the infirmary.


A few hours later, classes were finally over, Adrien started packing up his stuff, but what happened last night was still occupying his mind, especially the conversation with Washio after Mayura's attack.


Flashback

Adrien and Washio were sitting in front of each other, Adrien on a couch and Washio on an armchair, the two teenagers were looking at each other while Plagg is on the table still eating camembert.

"What do you want to start with?" Washio asked calmly, as if he didn't care who he was.

"I'd like to know... how you know I'm Cat Noir." Said Adrien, slightly overcoming the shock that his identity was known to anyone other than the person who gave him the Miraculous.

"Your vision of Kamen Rider Shinobi." Said Washio while showing Adrien his e-book. "This book allows me to guide the future. By encouraging someone to do something or provoking a small event. And I wrote in it that you have a vision of Kamen Rider Shinobi. I hoped to steal the powers of Kamen Rider Shinobi from this world before Another Rider is created." He explained.

"Why don't you use it to stop Hawk Moth or Wrath?" Adrien asked.

"Hawk Moth is not my fight. I help you, but preventing Wrath from bringing back the demon king is my priority. And for that I need the power of three precise Riders to create the power to stop him. The book cannot influence his future." Washio replied.

"The demonic king?" Asked Plagg not understanding what Washio is talking about.

In response, Washio put down the e-book and suddenly the room turned into a desert with the man who destroyed Time Mazine without difficulty being attacked by humans armed with all kinds of guns shooting at the man.

"Ohma Zi-O. The king of time. In the future of another world, Wrath was one of his servants. However, because of a series of events, another future came into being. Mine. A future where Ohma Zi-O died before being unstoppable." Explained Washio as the man identified as Ohma Zi-O with a simple wave of his hand turned his seats into dust.

Adrien could only observe the ravages of Ohma Zi-O, he was terrified by such a power possessed by the king of time.

Then the images changed to show a utopian future, no conflict, futuristic buildings as far as the eye could see, and a golden statue of a man in a suit that Adrien immediately identified as a Kamen Rider, despite his imposing chest.

"And the one who created this future by killing the future tyrant is called Geiz Revive. Kamen Rider Geiz Revive. "Concluded Washio as the images disappear, bringing them back to Washio's living room.

"And you come from this future?" Adrien asked, winning a nod from the Kamen Rider. "How can we stop Wrath?" He asked, wanting to help Washio defeat Wrath at all costs.

"In the same way that you tried to stop Hawk Moth. By beating the "Super-Villain" he creates. And with the power of Geiz Revive, I'll have a chance to put him out of business." Washio explained.

"It sounds complicated." Said Plagg while eating a piece of camembert. "His ability to stop time makes him almost unattainable. And even if the power you want could get around that, it must be hard to get." He says.

"Not really." Retorted Washio by putting Shinobi's Miridewatch on the table. "I've had one since the Another Shinobi incident, so there are only two left. I just have to hope that I can get my hands on the powers of the other two Riders before he can get Ohma Zi-O back." He explained.

End of Flashback


Adrien always thought about it, it only lacked the powers of two Rider so that Washio could defeat the new threat of Paris. But after that what would happen? Would he still help them against Hawk Moth, or would he go home?

He looked ahead and could see Washio talking with Mrs. Bustier. He seemed to get along well with their teacher. She got along with almost all the students because of her kindness, but with what he now knew he saw something new in Washio's attitude. But he didn't know what. Suddenly, he heard screams coming from outside and a student quickly entered the classroom.

"Quick, we must hide! There's... there's a monster in the courtyard!" Shouts the student.

Mrs. Bustier went to the student and helped him calm down by making him sit down while Washio went to see Adrien.

"In your opinion, is it an Akumatized or Another Rider?" Asked Adrien.

"I don't know, Ladybug might be here any minute, so turn around and go. I'll take care of the civilians." Washio suggested.

Adrien nodded and left to find a place where he could discreetly transform into a Cat Noir.

Several minutes later in the College's courtyard, Ladybug and Black Cat arrived on the scene and saw the monster attack the students.

The monster was mostly black with two small white patches on the torso at the pectoral level. On the right pectoral plate was a red circle and on the left pectoral plate was a blue cross. But the most notable thing, besides the Ridewatch-like head that Wrath had, was that his whole body had patterns of brain, cable and some kind of metal electrode. Each side of the body was of a color corresponding to the color of the symbol on that side. Red for the left side, and blue for the right side.

It was Another Quiz.

"In your opinion it's Another Rider?" Asked Cat Noir.

"I don't know. With the recent akumatization that looked like Another Rider, we can't know. We need to distract him until Woz arrives." Said Ladybug.

The two heroes attacked the Another Rider until it was in a bad position, but at that point a disruptive element interfered with the fight.

"Wait!" A voice shouted from behind the two superheroes making them turn around to see the person who spoke to them and they were shocked to see who it was and the sound of his voice.

He was the teenager who had watched the fight between Woz, Cat Noir and Mayura, and... he looked like two drops of water whether physically or vocally like Adrien Agreste. The only difference, besides the style of his clothes, was that his hair was black instead of blond.

"This monster is my target." Says the teenager as a belt that Black Cat found similar to that of Kamen Rider Shinobi, except that it had four question marks on the sides, two red on the right and two blue on the left and a slit in the center.

It was then that a strange melody with a soundtrack reminiscent of a good answer to a quiz resounded under the eyes of the two heroes and the students, who remained in the background, enough to avoid being attacked by the monster without having time to flee.

The teenager took out an object resembling a sort of gray card with a red exclamation mark on the left, white in the middle, and blue on the right. The exclamation mark changed to an exclamation mark and the teenager uttered the same words that Cat Noir heard Washio say before turning into Kamen Rider Woz before his eyes.

"Henshin!" He says, placing the question mark in the slot and a female voice speaks as the teenager turns into a Kamen Rider.

Fashion! Passion! Question! Quiz!

The teenager was now in a black Spandex with small pieces of armor. Shoulder pads, knee pads, and a chest protector, and the whole Spandex had question marks. The patterns and pieces of armor were in the color corresponding to the question mark on the corresponding belt.

Except for the breastplate which was gray with a part of white and just like the Another Rider, had a red circle on the right pectoral, and a blue cross on the left pectoral. His helmet was black and all the part covering the face was white with orange question marks on the sides corresponding to the eyes and a bigger one on the forehead overhanging his helmet.

"A new Kamen Rider?" Said Cat Noir, the shock of his resemblance to the newcomer.

"Would you mind stepping aside?" Asked Quiz.

"What if we refuse?" Said Ladybug, suspicious of this new rider.

"My answer is 'to save the world'. And it's always right. Question! I'm going to fight you. True or false?" Said Quiz puzzling the two heroes.

"What is he saying?" Asked Cat Noir.

"The answer is... true." Said Quiz before attacking the two heroes.

Ladybug and Black Cat were able to stand up to the Kamen Rider, but the Kamen Rider spent more time blocking their shot as if he was anticipating them.

"Your attacks are going to get to me, true or false?"

Asked Quiz by stepping away from the two heroes.

"True!" Said Cat Noir while attacking Quiz who easily dodged the blow.

"The answer is... false." Said Quiz as the cross on his chest lit up.

Suddenly, Ladybug and Cat Noir felt an electric shock that prevented them from moving.

"My attacks will fry you on the spot. True or false?" Asked Quiz while running in their direction and passed the heroes of Paris while giving them two blows in the wind. "The answer is true!" He then said that the round of his chest lit up Ladybug and Cat Noir received a new, more violent electric shock.

"Question! My rider kick is going to hit you. True or... false?" Asked Quiz by removing the question mark in the center of his belt which becomes an exclamation mark again.

"Eug, wrong, please." Says Ladybug, tired of being electrocuted.

"The answer is..." Said Quiz, placing the exclamation mark in the center of his belt.

Final quiz flag!

Quiz jumped when a screen representing his torso prevented the heroes from seeing him as they tried to find out which symbol he was going to arrive by.

"Question Kick!" Quiz screamed as it emerged from the red circle with a dive kick that hit the two heroes, who were neutralized by a mini explosion. "The answer was true. And now, behave yourself." He said before going to see Another Quiz, which is still in bad shape. "You and I have two words to say to each other..." He said as he tried to catch Another Quiz to hit him.

But suddenly, time froze for everyone except Another Quiz. Wrath arrived and helped the Another Rider to escape before letting time resume. Making the Kamen Rider and the duo protecting Paris realize that the Another Rider had slipped through their fingers.

"Wait!" Cries Quiz before going off to find his target, leaving the two heroes alone.

Well, not really. Woz arrived at that moment and helped them get up.

"What took you so long?" Shouted Ladybug to the Kamen Rider.

"Sorry... I had to figure out what the best approach was. I've never seen a Kamen Rider and Another Rider coexisting at the same time." Woz explained.

"You're going to have to explain a lot of things to us." Said Ladybug, somewhat upset by the crushing defeat she and Cat Noir suffered.

Cat Noir was also curious about what Woz could teach her about this new Rider.

"It's complicated... His name is Nathan, he's from 2040 and he called me on this phone." Said Woz as he pulled out the Ridewatch-like phone and showed it to the two heroes. "However, no one knows my number on that phone. That's... strange. And to find out why he knows my number or even why he's a Rider, I accepted his request to come at that time." He explained.

Ladybug nodded his head as a sign of understanding but Cat Noir knew that Woz was hiding something, that there was another reason behind the arrival of Kamen Rider Quizz in those days.

"So, what do we do to find them?" Asked Black Cat, wanting to know who is this young man who looks so much like him.

"We have to find out who this Another Rider is, or at least who his target is. Then we will find him, and seeing that this Kamen Rider is after the Other Rider, we will find him too." Says Woz.

Ladybug nodded his head and the three heroes agreed to go their separate ways in search of the Another Rider.
