Episode 4: No Continues 2016
Woz appears with his book open as he reads what happen last time.
"As it is written in this book, in September of 2018, the ordinary middle schooler Tokigawa Zento, embarks on a path which leads him to become the king of time, Oma Zi-O."
(Oma Zi-O appears briefly with the statues in 2068.)
"He sets out to find the secret behind an unbeatable video game that has rendered all who play it comatose."
(Next shows Zento with Owada playing the unbeatable games before it glowed bright pink then knock out by Another Ex-Aid as Zento takes him to the Hospital.)
"But then, a slight interruption from Siren and the Trio de Minor at the Musical Princes's concert as the Suite Precure stopped them at their tracks just before Another Ex-Aid made his appearance."
(Melody and Rhythm were fighting the Cello Negatone, then Another Ex-Aid came before Zento, Geiz, and Tsukuyomi stops him.)
"That's when he discovers that Kamen Rider Ex-Aid knows the mystery behind the game."
(Then shows Zi-O: Build armor and Geiz: Drive armor using their finishers to defeat Another Ex-Aid along with Melody and Rhythm performing Passinato Harmony as it' knocked out and changes into a middle-age man unconscious. Changes to Emu Hojo with his Gashat as he transforms into Kamen Rider Ex-Aid)
"An thus Tokigawa Zento finally comes to know of Emu Hojo, and takes Ex-Aid's power... "
(Scene changes to Zi-O in the Time Mazine as it reveals that he's fighter another Time Mazine, then changes to Emu giving the Ex-Aid Ridewatch to Zento. Zi-O battles Another Ex-Aid in 2016, then changes to Zento with Tsukuyomi, Geiz, Hibiki, Kanade, and Hummy talking to Emu.)
Woz stop reading any further, he smiles as he gets up and walks away.
Kamen Rider Ex-Aid is going to face off against Zi-O and Geiz as he charges to them catching them off guard and punches Zi-O as the word 'HIT!' appear, then punches Geiz and goes back to Zi-O kicking him on the head, then repeat it to Geiz. But before Ex-Aid go any further and the Precure going to stop him, time stopped around them as the ones who're aware surprised as they know who can stop time at will.
Hora appears before them and walks casually passing by them as she knocks out the 'HIT!' out of her way making her way to the middle-age man.
"Time...Jacker...!" Geiz said still frozen in time.
Zi-O sees the female Time Jacker along with Melody and Rhythm who are still frozen.
"Seriously, look at this mess." Hora said looking disappointed. "Now I have to start over."
"What does she mean by that?' Melody thought.
Ora stick her hand into the man's chest and takes out the Another Ex-Aid Ridewatch and reactivate it.
[eX-AiD!]
Then she reinserts it back to the man and turns around to see the Kamen Riders And Precure.
"Well, see you around." Hora greets them goodbye, then she disappears as time resumes.
The man wakes up as he glows pink and transforms back to Another Ex-Aid with Kamen Rider Ex-Aid glitches in response and changes back to Emu. Zi-O and the other Precures were surprise, it was like with Build in 2017. Another Ex-Aid disappears in pink light as the game area dissolves around them sending them back outside of the Seito University Hospital. Tsukuyomi came to check their safety along with Melody and Rhythm.
"Are you alright?" Tsukuyomi ask.
"Yeah..." Zi-O replied.
Emu turns around to face them as the rest stares at them in silence which was making Melody and Rhythm nervous for a moment before Emu speak up.
"Who are you people...?"
"Eh?" Zi-O, Hummy, Tsukuyomi, and Geiz blurted out before this happens.
"EEEEHHHHHH?!" Melody and Rhythm shouted out making the rest cover their ear from the sudden cries.

(Cue music end)
Episode 4: No continues 2016
(Outside of the Seito University Hospital)
"Ex-Aid...?" Emu was confused of what Zento and the other told them as the timeline changed and doesn't remember being a Kamen Rider. "What are you talking about?"
Zento and the girls in their civil forms with Hummy on Hibiki's shoulder look at each other and huddle up for a private discussion.
"He doesn't remember that he's a Kamen Rider..." Zento confirm to them.
"How did it happen anyway?" Kanade whispers to them.
"When Another Riders are created, it must cause history to be rewritten..." Tsukuyomi tells them her theory.
"Uh...Another Riders replace the originals...Jeez this is confusing?" Hibiki was confuse by this time stuff until Emu interrupts them.
"Can I ask why you all came looking for me?" He ask them.
"Of course, we just wanted to help the coma patients." Zento answers him.
"We need to know what going on behind the unbeatable game." Hibiki said as Kanade nods in agreement.
"I see..." Emu mutters.
"You do too, right? Why don't you work with us?" Zento ask him for his help.
"You saw the Another Rider, right?" Geiz adds in to their conversation. "If we can beat him, we can solve this whole thing."
Emu was in deep thought about what they said but it didn't take too long to make his decision.
"You shouldn't get involved any further." Emu told them
"Eh?"
"Why?"
Zento and the others where surprised by this as they wonder why he reject their help. Their question were answered as Emu said his reason of why.
"I have a fundamentally different goal than all of you." He tells them and walks back to the Hospital as they watches him leave.
"He's gone-Nya." Hummy suddenly said, breaking the tension making the other look at the cat with a weird look.
(9 to 5 clock shop)
They went back to Zento's home recuperating from the battle they fought today and discuss what happen before making a decision.
"What's with him?" Tsukuyomi ask them. "Instead of helping, he just tried to stop us."
"He must have a reason for it." Kanade tells them.
"But what though?" Hibiki ask her.
Zento was thinking about it too, what reason he tried to stop them in the first place. Somethings not right, he felt like there's a missing key to this problem and they need to know what it is before it's too late.
"The takeaway here is we can't rely on him. I'll go back to 2016, and I'll beat Another Ex-Aid." Geiz concludes as he walks to the doorway before Zento calls out to him.
"Hang on a minute."
Geiz stops at the doorway for a moment to tell him what he has to say.
"Zi-O, this isn't your concern anymore." Geiz said to him and turns to Hibiki and Kanade. "You girls should not get involve in this any further, you should focus on those guys from Minor Land."
As he finish saying that, Geiz left for the year 2016.
Zento was a little stunned of how Geiz told him to stay out of the Another Rider problem again, clearly he has a reason for it but was disappointed. Hibiki was a bit worried about Zento as she was thinking the same thing as him while Hummy was confused. Kanade was concern about Geiz going out there alone, she knows that Geiz can defend himself but she couldn't help worry for him and can't have him to deal with it all by himself.
"Sorry about him." Tsukuyomi apologize them for Geiz's behavior. "Geiz doesn't hate you, not as you are now, anyway. It's just, what you said to him earlier made him upset. "
"You're talking about Oma Zi-O, aren't you?" Hibiki ask her about Zento's future counter part, leaving Kanade confused about it since she didn't hear about it.
"Oma Zi-O?" Kanade repeated.
"That's right, we didn't tell Kanade about Zento's future-Nya." Hummy mentions.
"Eh, this Oma Zi-O is related to Zento's future? " Kanade ask Hibiki and Hummy.
"Might as well tell you now, Kanade. In 50 years, Zento become the overlord of time, Oma Zi-O, and rule the world in an iron fist. It's because of that, Geiz and Tsukuyomi came here to change their future." Hibiki explained to Kanade, making her a bit shock in the process.
"So, in other words, Zento's dream of being king came true. But not in a good way." Kanade summarize the explanation she was been told.
"That's right. He and I both lost friends, people that we wish we could have saved but we couldn't." Tsukuyomi tells them their futile resistance to Oma Zi-O back in 2068. "They all tried to change the future by defeating Oma Zi-O, but none of them lived to see that happen."
"And I caused all that?" Zento ask her.
"Correct." Tsukuyomi replied before telling him her point. "Considering the fate of our friends, can't you see why Geiz thinks you're a villain who must be defeated even at this stage in time?"
Zento was feeling a bit down about his future, about the cruel thing that he'd done in the future, it makes sense that Geiz needs to get rid of him before becoming Oma Zi-O.
"I do." Zento said before asking her a question. "Then, do you also think I'm a villain who must be defeated, Tsukuyomi?"
"Zento." Hibiki mutters, feeling sad for Zento to have to burden being the overlord in the future. Kanade was feeling the same thing but she felt bad for Geiz and Tsukuyomi to suffer like that in their time. Tsukuyomi was had a deep thought about Zento's question, sure back in their time Oma Zi-O the must defeat for a bright future, on the other hand this Zento in from of her is not Oma Zi-O yet. But his actions so far left Tsukuyomi in a struggle between the Zento of 2018 and Zento of 2068, so she'll have to say this for now.
"I don't know, but I think I can least try to guide you, so you don't turn into that evil overlord. At least I hope I can." She answers.
"...Okay." Zento said, reassured that she could help him change his future. Not just her, Hibiki, Kanade, and Hummy are here to support him as well so he wouldn't have to worry about it for now. Right now they have to deal with Another Ex-Aid.
(Meanwhile with Geiz: Year 2016)
Geiz is currently in his Time Mazine traveling in time to his destination at the year 2016 to defeat Another Ex-Aid. As he came out of the time stream, he witnessing Kamen Rider Ex-Aid leveling up to level 2 as he went to a giant chibi to a slim armor hero.
[MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY MIGHTY ACTION X!]
Geiz watch Kamen Rider Ex-Aid fighting mage Bugster grunts along with another Kamen Rider, who has a similar suit to Ex-Aid but the suit are light blue and white, spike shoulder pads, and his helmet is knight design with yellow eyes.
This is Kamen Rider Brave, AKA Hiro Kagami.
"Kamen Rider Ex-Aid." Geiz said as he watches Ex-Aid and Brave executing their finishers onto Aranbura Bugster.
[MIGHTY CRITICAL FINISH!]
Ex-Aid swing his Gashacon Breaker into the Bugster hitting him 'Great!' as the Bugster flew towards Brave.
[TADDLE CRITICAL FINISH!]
Brave swing his Gashacon Sword towards the Bugster slashing it with a 'Perfect!' and it explodes into pixels.
[GAME CLEAR!]
As they defeated the Bugster, Brave notices Geiz's Time Mazine as Ex-Aid notices too and lands in front of them
"What in the world?" Ex-Aid questions looking at the machine he'd never seen in real life.
Geiz came out as he and the doctor riders went back to the Hospital to explain to them about him coming from the future and telling his mission to warn them about the time line altering. Emu was surprised about this information he was given, even though he's a Kamen Rider he'd never heard a Kamen Rider coming from the future. What's next, a Kamen Rider coming from a parallel reality? But Hiro didn't believe him thinking it was all nonsense and it's wasting his time.
"Eh? From the future?" Emu said in surprise.
"From your perspective, yeah. There are people trying to change the past and because of that, the Rider power you two have is going to fade away." Geiz explains.
"And you came to warn us about it?" Emu ask.
"I'm gonna keep an eye out for anything strange. Any signs that the Another Rider has appeared." He tells them but Hiro is unconvinced with his explanation.
"This is asinine. This talk of past and future, don't waste my time with your ridiculous fantasy." Hiro tells them and walks back to his office as Emu and Geiz watched.
"He's a cold guy, isn't he?" Geiz ask Emu, but the latter sees the similarities between him and Geiz.
"You don't seem much different, to be fair." Emu points out as Geiz scoffs before look back at Emu.
(Apartment Building - Year 2016)
Back where Keisuke was putting into the ambulance truck with his dad by his side as event reoccurring before Hora intervene.
"Keisuke, are you okay?" The Father asks his son, Keisuke.
"It hurts..." Keisuke groans. "Please help me, Dad..."
Then time stopped as Keisuke's father was the only one not frozen as he sees everyone around him froze and glitch including his son. He wondered who did it until he sees Hora appeared suddenly leaning on the truck looking at him.
"Who are you?" He ask before stressing out. "What's going on?!"
"I'm Hora, a Time Jacker." She introduce herself as she walk by Keisuke. "And I'm afraid I have some bad news for you. But there's good new, too. the boy's heart doesn't have much longer, does it? You must know that right?"
"Then Keisuke will-?" Keisuke's father concludes but Hora interrupt him.
"That's the bad news. The thing is, if you contract with me, you can save his life and that's the good news. What do you say?" Hora tells him, knowing that he's going to accept the contract in order to save his son. It took a moment for him to decide but he accepts with a nod.
"Attaboy."
Hora took out a blank Ridewatch and activated it and put it into the father for a moment and taking it out making it the Another Ex-Aid Ridewatch. Then she activates it again.
[eX-AiD!]
She reinsert into him as he turns into Another Ex-Aid for the first time.
[eX-AiD!]
"For now on you're Kamen Rider Ex-Aid, got it?" Hora tells him.
Meanwhile in the Seito University Hospital, Emu was taking care of a patient before he started to glitch as it is a sign that his powers is starts to disappear. Geiz, who was also looking after some kids, notices him glitching telling him that the Another Rider has appeared.
"He's here!" Geiz said to himself and goes out to find him.
Eye-catch 1: Shows the 5 Fairy Tones with Hummy who smiles, as it changes to Hibiki and Kanade playing music playing music on their Cure Modules with two more Fairy Tones while Zento throws his Ridewatch in the air and catches it with Geiz and Tsukuyomi standing there as Suite Precure title appears.
~Suite Precure~
Eye-catch 2: Kanade is trying to keep Hibiki away from her cupcakes but Hummy snatches one followed by Hibiki snatches one then Zento snatches one as well making Kanade mad as she chasing them while Geiz and Tsukuyomi watches from afar as Kamen Rider Zi-O title appears.
[Kamen Rider Zi-O]
(Somewhere at an warehouse)
At an warehouse, a male teenager was playing the unbeatable game in his console before it shine pink signaling that Another Ex-Aid has appeared to attack him. But Geiz in his Rider form arrive in his Ride Striker intervenes and putting a stop to his rampage before it began.
"Eat this." Geiz said as he spins his belt performing his finisher.
[TIME BURST!]
Geiz charges at the Another Rider with his bike but Another Ex-Aid move out of the way. So Geiz decided to lift his bike rear up and spins in red energy and hits him with the rear wheel to his face as Another Ex-Aid was hit again by Geiz. Then when Another Ex-Aid was knock up in the air, Geiz ram into him as Another Ex-Aid exploded by his last attack. Geiz stops to see if his attacks worked, but it was all for nothing as Another Ex-Aid stands back up was if it didn't affect him at all.
"What the-?"
Another Ex-Aid starts to attack Geiz and knock him out of his bike.
(9 to 5 clock shop: Year 2018)
Back in 2018, Tsukuyomi was starting to worry about Geiz so were the other since he was out for a while. So she decided to call him from her Faiz X phone leaving the other in confusion, but she explains to them that they can call each other using this phone even if the other is in the past or future.
"What's going on?" Tsukuyomi ask Geiz through her phone. "Another Ex-Aid was created? I thought you could beat him by going to 2016?"
"How do I beat him? I need you to look that up, Tsukuyomi?" Geiz ask on the other line in 2016, who was retreating from Another Ex-Aid at the moment then end the call and resume the battle.
Tsukuyomi put her phone down then sighs which notifies Zento and the girls that Geiz is in trouble in 2016. Zento wants to help Geiz despite his warning to stay of of this, he need to help whether Geiz wants to or not. But first he needs to find out the problem with the patients Another Ex-Aid was after and why he did it. Then something hits his mind, Emu said to them that he had a different goal than the rest but what was it.
"I wonder what Emu was talking about earlier?" He mutters to himself, the girls heard that and started to wonder too.
"Now did you mention it, what was his reason anyway?" Hibiki wonders too.
"Hmm. Does it involve with the victims?" Kanade points out.
"We need to investigate this further." Tsukuyomi tells them.
They nod to each other in agreement and went on their way back to the Hospital for more information they need to now.
(Seito University Hospital)
Emu was currently at the rooftop of the hospital with an game console in his hands, it glows pink light as his surrounding pixilates and transporting him back into the game area. He was now in a mountain area with Another Ex-Aid in front of him as he confronts him to stop his rampage.
"Iida-san, you have to stop." Emu tells him, but Another Ex-Aid ,otherwise as Iida-san, didn't listen. "Snap out of it. What Keisuke needs right now is for you to be at his side."
Another Ex-Aid calms down a bit and turns back to an Iida-san, but he was devastated about what Emu said.
"What are you saying?" Iida-san ask him as he walks up to Emu and grips his coat up angrily. "You want me to sit around and wait for Keisuke to die?!"
Remembering his son in the hospital made Iida-san mad and throws Emu in frustration.
"If doctors like you won't save him, I'll do it myself. Stay out of my way." Iida-san tells him as he was about to walk away.
"You got it all wrong!"
Both Emu and Iida-san heard a voice and turn their head to see who it was, they see Zento and the girls walking to the two much to Emu surprise.
"You guys, but how?" Emu ask.
"We looked into the case again." Zento tells them and explains to them what Iida-san's reason for his actions. "And we learned something."
(Earlier)
Zento, Tsukuyomi, Hibiki and Kanade along with Hummy went back to ask Hiro about the patient. They went to his desk to show them the diagnostics of the patient that Another Ex-Aid attacked.
"All of the patients, they had one other thing in common aside from the game. They were all young men of small stature. In other words, people whose organs were roughly the same size."
They looked into it and sees Keisuke in his hospital bed currently asleep. Hiro explains his condition and his illness.
"Idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy. If he had been admitted a year earlier I could have performed a Kagami-Batista procedure to treat him." Hiro explains before telling them more. "But given how it's progressed, even a transplant wouldn't much good."
Hibiki and Kanade felt sad for the father's son is suffering like that, no wonder he became Another Ex-Aid. Hummy was with them looking at the boy with a sadden look on her face. Zento finally knows, he just might works this out and help both the father and son.
(Back to now)
Iida-san stunned as he kept listening while Emu looks at Zento who explains further to this.
"His father was trying to find donors who matched his son's size, so he used the power of the Another Rider to create that game." Zento said as he walks beside Emu and took a knee to look at him in the eye. "And Emu, you wanted to give his son the strength to live so you tried to bring his father back, right?"
"...You really do understand." Emu said, knowingly that they understand the situation now.
"Well, I know someone else like that." Zento said as he took a glance at Tsukuyomi while Hibiki and Kanade look their way to her as she realize who he's taking about. "Someone who tries to save the person that everyone else worried about defeating. Besides, being desperate to help someone in need is one thing all of us have in common. So I understand how you feel too but you can't sacrifice other people to do it!"
The other were move by his speech, it gives them the motivation to do what is right. Hibiki especially, she was beginning to see Zento being a king in her eyes. Helping people in need, being kind, and sympathize other's feeling. It makes Hibiki feel warm and fuzzy inside and felt heat coming in her cheeks and was a little fluster but shook it off. Kanade notice this and was a little curious of why Hibiki acts like that, but when she see Zento gears were running in her head and realize it. She had a little grin on her face meaning that she had something mischievous idea coming on.
"Shut up. Just shut up already! While you're patting on, my son is dying! He running out of time!" Iida-san yells at them as he turns away and transforms into Another Ex-Aid.
[eX-AiD]
"Iida-san!" Emu calls out to him trying to catch up to him, but he disappears along with the game area. "Iida-san!"
Emu stood there and was upset that he couldn't help Iida-san at all, as a doctor he need to help his patients but not like this.
"You don't have to do this all by yourself, Emu." Zento said as he walks up to him. "I'll let the doctors worry about his patient, but the Another Rider? His father? You can let me take care of that. I wanna be a king someday, y'know. So looking out for people it's part of the job after all."
Emu thought about it for a moment, then he had a good feeling about him and smiled.
"Okay." Emu replied as he took out something from his pocket. It was neon green Ridewatch with a neon pink dial, it has symbol of Ex-Aid and the year 2016.
Emu took out the Ex-Aid Ridewatch.
"A Ridewatch?!" Tsukuyomi gasped.
"Where did he...?" Hibiki mutters as Kanade and Hummy were shocked as well.
"I don't know how I got this but I wanted to give it back to the owner when I found him." Emu explains as he put the Ridewatch into Zento's hands. "And that must be you. Please, get through to Iida-san."
Zento nods in agreement as the Time Mazine came up right next to him in the air.
[TIME MAZINE!]
"I think I can do that!" Zento said and makes his way to the Time Mazine.
"Yosh, Kanade let's go with him." Hibiki said as she follows him in.
"OK." Kanade said following them with Hummy.
"I'll make sure there aren't any more Another Rider victims." Tsukuyomi said as she leaves to prevent any casualties while they're away.
Zento and the girls are in the cockpit as Zento takes the drivers seat and set the destination for 2016. The gateway open as they're about to set off until something knock them out out of nowhere. They fell down to the ground as the mysterious ship like machine with lizard arms came closer and transformed into a robot similar to the Time Mazine. Inside the cockpit was Heure interfering with Zento's plans to stop Another Ex-Aid and blast him then kick him. Zento was dizzy from the hit while Hibiki and Kanade were hanging on from falling.
"Whoa! What was that?!" Hibiki shouted clinging onto part of the cockpit in panic.
"Must've been a Time Jacker!" Kanade assumes.
"Trying to stop us eh? Then it's a fight you'll get!" Zento said as he takes out his Ziku driver and straps it on and then activates his Ridewatch.
[ZIKU-DRIVER!]
[ZI-O!]
Zento drives up as he hits Heure in the process as he transforms.
"Henshin!" Zento shouts as he inserts the Ridewatch and spins the driver.
DING! DONG!
[RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!]
As he transforms, the Time Mazine went into robot form but this time a big version of the Zi-O Ridewatch became it's head.
Zi-O hits the Time Jacker from left and right and kick him knocking him back, then the Time Jacker went for the attack but Zi-O went under dodging his attack but Heure grabbed Zi-O and pushes him to the Hospital building. Heure was about to headbutt Zi-O but he dodge it as Heure hit the building instead, Zi-O saw an opening and go for a punch to the side as he was released from the hold and went for a finishing move and punch him to the ground. "
Yeah! You did it Zento!" Kanade cheered.
"Nyapu! Nyapu!" Hummy cheered too.
"Next stop, 2016!" Hibiki said.
Zi-O then transforms the Time Mazine back to vehicle mode and flies off to 2016. Meanwhile, Heure was in the cockpit which was damage from his battle with Zi-O.
"Aren't you impressive? You really are Zi-O." Heure said amused.
(2016)
Back to the battle between Geiz and Another Ex-Aid, Geiz was barely hanging on as Another Ex-Aid started doing jump attacks on him a few time and jumps away from him. Geiz went after him only for him get hit by the Another Rider again and was at a disadvantage. Another Ex-Aid as going to attack him again until Zento's Time Mazine came and knock him back and lands. Zento, Hibiki, and Kanade with Hummy came out ready to face the Another Ex-Aid of 2016.
"What are you doing here?!" Geiz said to Zento before turning to Hibiki and Kanade. "Why did you two came along?! I told you guys to not get involve! Are trying to make him become Oma Zi-O?!"
"No, I won't let that happen." Zento said making Geiz agitated.
"Are you saying you won't believe me?" Geiz accuse Zento and grips his shirt. Hibiki and Kanade were about to separate them and calm Geiz down but they stopped when they see Zento held his hand up.
"I do believe, Geiz. In you, Tsukuyomi, Hibiki, Kanade, and Hummy too." He said making Geiz confused as he took his hands off of his shirt. "Which is why, I'm going to fight!"
Geiz was dumbfounded at the moment until he sees Hibiki and Kanade step up too.
"Don't forget about us!" Hibiki exclaimed as she took out her Cure Module.
"You're not the only one who fighting too you know, involve with this or not, Hibiki and I are gonna protect our world whether it from the Time Jackers or Mephisto!" Kanade said with her Cure Module out as well.
"Yosh ikuzo!" Zento said with his Ridewatch out in his hand and his driver strapped him then activates the watch.
[ZI-O!]
"I'm betting my pride as a woman on this! Ready Kanade!?" Hibiki ask.
"Ready Hibiki!" Kanade replied as Hummy jump out of Kanade shoulder and watches from afar.
"Dodo!"
"Rere!"
Zento inserts the watch to the driver as his get ready to transform while Hibiki and Kanade does the same as the pink and white Fairy Tones quickly jump and into their Modules.
"Henshin!"
"Let's Play! Precure Modulation!"
DING DONG!
[RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER! ZI-O!]
Zento transforms to Zi-O along with Hibiki and Kanade transform into their dresses along with their twin tails and pony tail. Then the girls announce themselves again.
"Playing a frantic tune, Cure Melody!" Cure Melody said before striking a pose.
"Playing the tranquil melody, Cure Rhythm!" Cure Rhythm said before she too strikes a pose.
"Resonate!"
The two then clap before they say as one striking a pose together.
"Our musical suite! Suite Pretty Cure!"
Once again, Zi-O and Geiz stares at them with a strange look.
"Will this be a occasional thing for you girls?" Zi-O ask, thus making them total embarrassed.
"L-Let's just stop him okay!" Melody said.
Zi-O ad the Precure take charge at Another Ex-Aid with Geiz joining in and attack him one by one. Another Ex-Aid kept blocking their attacks but it was too much for him to handle as Zi-O and Geiz punches him making the Another staggered before Melody and Rhythm leap in and kicks him back a little. The Another Rider had enough and summons a bunch of Bugster grunts then attacks the Rider and Precures. As they are too many to handle, Geiz brought out his Zikan Z-Ax to even thing up a little.
[ZIKAN Z-AX! ONO!]
The Riders and the Precures were occupied by the grunts and Another Ex-Aid stood there and was about to leave, but what he didn't know is that Emu arrives and sees the battle and Another Ex-Aid.
"What? A doppelganger of me? I better get in there!" Emu said as he took out his Gamer Driver and Rider Gashat then activates it.
[MIGHTY ACTION X!]
"Dai-henshin!" Emu shouted as he inserts the Gashat and opens the driver.
[GASHATTO!]
[GACCHAN! LEVEL UP! MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY MIGHTY ACTION X!]
Emu transforms into Ex-Aid level 2 with his Gashacon Breaker in it's blade mode and runs in then slashes at the grunts and get to Another Rider of him as he fight against his Another Rider version. Zi-O notices Ex-Aid fighting, seeing that his attacks are working against him.
"How his attacks works against him?" Zi-O mutters as Melody started to notices too and started to put two and two together.
"Is it because they're the same?" Melody guess, thus making Zi-O finally figures it out.
"So you mean Another Ex-Aid is only weak against the real Ex-Aid's power?" Zi-O concludes their theory, then out of nowhere Woz appears right next to them.
"I see you have learned the truth, my Overlord." Woz said surprising them.
"Whoah!"
"Kyaa!"
They two look at Woz in shock from his sudden appearance.
"Woz?!"
"Why do you keep doing that?!" Melody exclaimed.
"Please remember this.." Woz ignored Melody as he explains to Zi-O the Another Rider's weakness. "To beat the Another Rider, you must wield the power of the same Rider."
"The power of the same Rider?" Zi-O muttered, then Zi-O and the others saw Ex-Aid fighting Another Ex-Aid and was winning but he started to glitch as his armor started to fade and reverted back to Emu. Thus Kamen Rider Ex-Aid's has vanish like Build before.
"He reverted back-Nya!" Hummy shouted.
"That means his powers has vanish." Rhythm said.
"That's all I can do..." Emu said seeing that his powers are gone.
"When we beat Another Build, we had the Build Ridewatch..." Melody mutters and sees the Ex-Aid Ridewatch in Zi-O's Ridewatch holder. "Zento you have Ex-Aid's watch, use it!"
"That's right." Zi-O glances at it and took it out from the holder. "Alright, I'm up for it!"
He turns the dial and activate it.
[EX-AID!]
Zi-O inserts to his driver and spins it making the bell noise which Another Ex-Aid notices. The kanji for Ex-Aid came out of his belt as the Ex-Aid armor appears in front of him. He kicks it as it scatters hitting Another Ex-Aid and flew above the roof.
[KAMEN RIDER! ZI-O!]
[ARMOR TIME!]
Zi-O jumps high as the pieces of the armor attaches to Zi-O and the kanji went to the visor and lands in a superhero pose. Zi-O was now in a silver armor and pink with black line-like circuits on his thigh armor. Each of his shoulders had a big pink Gashat and the arms holds gauntlet versions of the Gashacon breaker known as the Gashacon breaker breakers. The chest armor is neon green on the collar and has the gaming pad and health gauge with button of a sword and hammer. His helmet has look like Ex-Aid, pink spiky hair and white goggle visor with the pink kanji for Ex-Aid.
This is Kamen Rider Zi-O: Ex-Aid armor.
[LEVEL UP! EX-AID!]
"Ta-da!" Zi-O shouts as he stands up and turns to the others.
"IWAE! He is the heir to the power of all Riders. The king of time, traveling beyond time and space to reign over the past and future. His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O: Ex-Aid armor! And in this moment, he has once again received the power of another Rider!" Woz announced.
Zi-O jumps from the roof and land to face Another Ex-Aid with Emu and Melody walking up to him.
"With no continues..." Emu said and gestures his hand up.
"I know I can do this!" Zi-O declared raising his up up before Melody stops him.
"You mean WE can clear this!" Melody said stepping up.
"Right!"
Zi-O and Melody charge toward Another Ex-Aid as they hit him on the chest with every 'HIT' and Another Ex-Aid tries to fight back but they hit him again causing him to fall to the ground. Zi-O slams his Gashacon breaker breaker onto Another Ex-Aid but only for him to roll away from the attack and Melody leaps for a kick in the face.
Geiz and Rhythm were fighting the grunts on the battlefield but took longer than they expected.
"Mou, they're too many of them!" Rhythm exclaimed.
"Damn it..." Geiz mutters as he raise is Zikan Z-Ax and took out his Ridewatch and inserts into his Z-Ax.
[FINISH TIME!]
Geiz took a stance as his Z-Ax was coated in red energy resembling a red and silver clock and press the trigger.
[GEIZ! ZAKKURI CUTTING!]
Geiz slashes at the grunts twice with energy slashes resulting them explodes around him. Then he slashes another energy wave to where Rhythm was fight the remaining grunts which she notice and ducks the wave and hits the grunts thus them explode upon contact. Rhythm glares at Geiz as she walks up to him.
"You could've warn me next time!" Rhythm exclaims.
"You're welcome." Geiz said nonchalant.
"Hmph!" Rhythm pouted angrily.
Back to Zi-O and Melody, he uppercut Another Ex-Aid high in the air and generates gaming blocks to jump and hit the Another Rider back to back. Then with Melody jumping in with Zi-O they slam Another Ex-Aid hard to the ground leaving a crater in the impact.
"Whoa."
"Sugei."
"Go for the finishing move! The finishing move." Emu shouted to them gesturing the finishing move to them.
"What do you think Melody?" Zi-O asking her.
"I think you'll do the honors." Melody replied as she steps back for Zi-O to do his finisher.
[FINISH TIME! EX-AID!]
Zi-O press both of the Ridewatches and press the button of the driver and spins it. The Gashacon breaker breakers were brimming with pink and green energy as Zi-O takes his stance for the attack.
[CRITICAL! TIME BREAK!]
Zi-O notices the sign and breaks the forth wall by lifting it up. Another Ex-Aid charges at him but Zi-O uses a move that we all know too well of.
"SHORYUKEN!" Zi-O shouted the uppercut move to knock him up in the air and get ready to jump. "Now to finish with this!"
He jumps high in the air as he hits Another Ex-Aid with the board from earlier. Emu and Melody watches him with Geiz and Rhythm catching up to them and as they saw it too with a confuse expression on their faces.
"That's not quite right." Emu comments.
"How did Zento do that?" Rhythm ask rhetorically seeing the kanji and the board appear out of nowhere.
"I'm not sure." Melody replied.
Zi-O flies in with a rider kick with the kanji line up to Another Ex-Aid as the kick was getting closer and closer until came on contact giving him damage as they came down to the ground. Zi-O jumps upon impact as Another Ex-Aid was damage enough to create an explosion behind Zi-O landing on the ground.
BOOM!
Another Ex-Aid reverted back to Iida-san and was unconscious, Emu runs over to him to make sure if he's okay.
"Are you okay?!" Emu shouted, Zi-O turns around and sighs in relief that Another Rider was gone for now. Melody and Rhythm were happy that they manage to stop him with Hummy came and cheered with excitement. Geiz was standing there silently an just watch as they reverted back to civil forms and gather around Iida-san who was waking up.
"What happen to me?" Iida-san ask them as Emu and Zento help him up.
"Don't worry, you and your son will be alright." Zento said to him, which he starts to remember.
"That's right, my boy!"
Iida-san get up and look around for his son, but Hibiki and Kanade tries to calm him down.
"Calm down, Iida-san! Don't worry we know someone that can help." Hibiki assures him, making him raise an eyebrow
"That's right." Kanade confirms as they look at Emu as Zento explains to him.
"This man's son is sick. Can you look after him at your hospital?" Zento asked before explaining more. "You've got that genius surgeon, don't you?"
The said person was at his office sitting at his table with a cake in front of him.
"There's nothing that I cannot cut." Hiiro said as he picks up his fork and knife and start cutting the cake.
Emu chuckle for a moment and accepts his request immediately.
"Very well." Emu replied as he and Iida-san bow their head as Zento walk up to him bringing out a blank Ridewatch.
"And I'd like you to hold onto this." Zento said handing him the watch.
"What is it?" Emu ask.
"In the future, this will connect you to me." Zento said with a smile.
"In the future..." Emu mumble while looking at the watch, he lift his head to Geiz who look away and to Hibiki, Kanade and Hummy which they smile back. "Okay, I'll hold onto it."
"Hmm." Zento replied as he, Geiz, and the girls went into their Time Mazines and went back to their time.
(Kanon Music hall - 2018)
Zento and the girls got back and were on their way back to see the concert which was disrupted by Siren and Another Ex-Aid. As they walk back, they notice Iida-san was there with his son walking towards the doors.
"So how's school?"
"I open the door and they yelled welcome back!"
They went in he Music hall with a smiles on their faces, seeing that made Zento smiled knowing that the father and his son are okay. Hibiki and Kanade glad that things are back to normal and they went on in to enjoy the concert.
As they take their seats, Hojo-sensei and the Musical Princes plays their music and the audience quietly listens to it as they enjoy it. Hibiki was no different, listening to her dad music and seeing him smile light up her liking for music inside her.
"Kanade, since I start to enjoy music, will I be able to face it again?" She asked her friend, before looking over at Kanade when she didn't reply who fell asleep! "She's asleep!"
Hummy said "Nyapu Nyapu" getting her hands in the air. However both continued to enjoy the concert, not having the heart to wake her up. Zento saw this and couldn't help but laugh at this and answers for her.
"Hibiki, I believe that you can face it again. This time, me and Kanade have your back."
"Thanks." Hibiki said with a smile on her face, making Zento blush upon seeing it.
'K-K-KAWAII!'
(9 to 5 clock store)
Zento invited Hibiki and Kanade for dinner which Hibiki accepted without a doubt since she likes his uncles cooking. When they went to the dining room, they saw Genjiro showing them a widespread of delicious dishes can make anyone drool for it, Hibiki was one of them who is currently looking at the food with a predator loook in her eyes.
"Ta-da!"
"You're going overboard again." Zento tells him.
"Come on, we got more mouths to feed now! this is just enough." Genjiro reassures him with the amount of food he cooked since Geiz and Tsukuyomi moved in. "Oh, we need another! Er, one more plate! Just a sec, gonna get a plate, okay?"
When he said that last part, he uses the oven mitt like a puppet which Kanade laugh a little before he went back to the kitchen. Geiz came down and leans at the counter top by the doorway looking at Zento.
"Zi-O." Geiz calls out too him as Zento saw him and walks to him with the girls and Hummy follow him. Zento close the door and they notice Tsukuyomi was here too. "Tell me something, what do you mean back there?"
"You mean during the battle with Another Ex-Aid?" Kanade ask him which he nods in response.
"I have this dream of becoming a king." Zento tells them before explaining more to them. "I'm sorry but I'm going to do what I think is right. But if I choose the wrong path, and it seems like I'm turning into Oma Zi-O, I want you to take me down. That includes you Hibiki, Kanade, Hummy. I trust your judgement, all of you."
This leave Geiz and Tsukuyomi surprised for a moment, he believe them but he keep fighting even if he'll become Oma Zi-O he relies on them to stop him or even put him down. Hibiki was sadden when he said it, she couldn't bear of hurting him same for Kanade as well. After Zento was done telling them, he went back to the dining room for dinner while the rest process what he said.
"Oji-san, is dinner ready?"
Hibiki look down and remembers her dream about Oma Zi-O, she know that as a Precure she'll have to stop him if that happens. But to sacrifice Zento to do it, it left her wavering on this. First she fight Siren and the Trio from Minor land and next is Zento becoming Oma Zi-O in the future. She couldn't let that happen, never.
'I'll make sure that does not happen. I'l change Zento future even if I'm putting my pride as a woman and a Precure on the line!' Hibiki thought her decision.
Zento was in the dining room with the Ex-Aid Ridewatch and put it in to a display holder for the Riderwatches known was the Ridewatch Daizer.
Back to Woz in the dark room as he opens his book to our readers.
"And thus, our Overlord obtained the power of Ex-Aid. History flows ever onward towards Oma Zi-O and his encounter with yet another legend is around the bend."
The next scene shows in a high school and walking by the school gates as student wearing a black school uniform, a red t-shirt, sneakers, and holding a briefcase with hot rod flames with the Japanese kanji for friendship on it. He has a pompadour hair style making him look like a delinquent and he was stretching his arm as he was ready for school it seems.
