Power Rangers Super Samurai vs Ronin Warriors

by Destonus

Keep in mind that the "vs" in the title doesn't necessarily mean they'll fight each other. It's meant more in the vein of sentai teamups where the team before the versus is the "home" team and the one after it is the "visiting" team. Five years after the defeat of Xandred, a mysterious letter shows up on Jayden's doorstep, the Samurai are thrust into someone else's conflict!

28. Armor Time 2018 AD

"As it is written in this book, normal high school student Sougo Tokiwa journeyed to the past with Geiz and Tsukuyomi to kidnap countless Legend Riders to assemble a team to rescue the friends and colleagues of Fourze, Wizard, and Gaim. Unbeknownst to them, their friends were scheduled for execution by His Malevolence Lord Jahoshi. Meanwhile, Kamen Rider Gaim fought against an old adversary of his…oops, that hasn't happened yet. I apologize, dear readers of this fanfiction. Instead, let us see what my overlord is doing right now…"

Power Rangers Super Samurai vs. Ronin Warriors

Chapter 28: Armor Time ~2018 A.D.~

Aboard the Den-Liner, all the Kamen Riders that Tsukuyomi had Geiz and Sougo kidnap were gathered around a whiteboard as she explained everything.

"Very soon, His Malevolence Lord Jahoshi is going to kill the prisoners he has stored in this warehouse, unbeknownst to the Kamen Riders and Super Sentai Members currently in an alternate dimension known only as the Crazyverse."

"Ah, Tsuku-chan!" Shouichi asked. "What are we going to be up against?"

"Save your questions for after my briefing!" she replied, whacking Shouichi over the head with her pointer.

"We can expect to face all the various foot soldiers Kinji has at his disposal, including his own cowboy mooks, Dustards, Buglars, Zorima…"

'Will he utilize any Worms?" Tendou asked. She attempted to whack him as well, but he caught it before she could.

"No. Our intelligence seems to indicate that Akuhoshi does not have access to Worms."

"Understood." Tendou answered.

"What about Dark Roaches?" Kanzaki asked.

Tsukuyomi now brought out a golf club, but Geiz caught it.

"Why don't you just continue your briefing instead of beating up all our help?"

'We will have to work fast before Kinji realizes what we're up to. Dismissed."

"That was it?" Sougo asked.

"What, we're just going to beat up a whole bunch of foot soldiers and rescue some people, that's pretty standard for Kamen Riders, right?" she replied.

"Don't worry Tsuku-chan, I got the gist of it," Tsukasa replied.

"I still think there should have been more," Geiz replied.

"Don't worry everyone, I'm sure everything will work out somehow," Sougo said, smiling,

"I like this guy!" Shouichi replied.

The Den-Liner arrived, and everyone disembarked, only to find a horde of grunts already headed for them.

"How did they know we were coming?" Sougo wondered.

"They probably heard the Den-Liner, idiot! Now get moving!" Geiz shouted.

(digital beeping) Geiz!

(digital beeping) Zi-O!

The two locked their Ridewatches into the Zikku Driver, unlocked it, and spun it 360 degrees as projections of clocks appeared behind them.

"Henshin!" they called.

(Clock ticking noise followed by a clock chime) Rider Time! (Electronic beat) Kamen Rider! Zi-O!

(Clock ticking noise followed by a clock chime) Rider Time! (Electronic riff) Kamen Rid~er Geiz!

Shouichi made a series of arm motions as his belt appeared on his waist, before calling "Henshin!" and hitting the two buttons on the side of his belt, causing a bright flash and him to become Agito.

Kenzaki inserted his Ace of Spades Rouze Card into his Blaybuckle, and it fastened to his waist in a shuffle of playing cards, before taking a stance, shouting "Henshin!"

Turn Up

A projection of said card appeared in front of him, and he ran through it to become Blade.

The Kabuto Zecter flew in, and Tendou caught it before inserting it into his belt buckle.

"Henshin!"

HENSHIN

"Cast Off!"

CAST OFF! CHANGE BEETLE!

"Henshin!" M-Ryotaro declared, scanning his pass on his buckle.

Sword Form

Armor began appearing on his body with train horns and station arrival noises, as a peach followed the tracks down his face and split.

Tsukasa held out his Kamen Ride: Decade card out in front of him, and then flipped it, so the picture was facing him with a "Henshin!", before opening and sliding the card into his Neo Decadriver and closing it up.

Kamen Ride: Decade!

Back on the Den-Liner, Phillip was looking through his book as the Double Driver appeared on his waist.

"Time to go already? Okay then."

Cyclone!

Phillip inserted the Cyclone Memory into the right side of his Driver, and it appeared in Shotaro's.

Joker!

Shotaro inserted his Joker Memory into the Double Driver, and called out, "Henshin!" pushing the two sides apart, surrounding him in a tornado as Phillip passed out back on the train on top of an already passed out Tsukuyomi.

Cyclone, Joker! (Technical guitar to orchestral hit)

Eiji took the Taka and Batta Medals and inserted them in the outermost slots of his OOO Driver, and then placed the Tora Medal in the middle slot, tilted the tray on its side, and ran the OOO Scanner down with a "clink, clink, clink!"

"Henshin!" he called, placing the Scanner over his waist to complete the transformation.

Taka! Tora! Batta! Ta-to-ba, Tatoba Ta-to-Ba!

Accel!

"Hen…Shin!" Ryu Terui called, revving the throttle on his Driver.

Accel! (Sports motorcycle revving)

"I have awakened my Soul! Kamen Rider Agito!"

"I am the trump card of fate! Kamen Rider Blade!"

"Walking the path of Heaven…the one who will rule all. Kamen Rider…Kabuto."

"ORE…" Den-O declared, pointing to himself, "SANJOU!" before striking a pose.

"The passing-through Kamen Rider…Decade! Remember that!"

"Now, Count up your Sins!" Double declared.

"Just lending a helping hand to all that I can reach! Kamen Rider OOO!"

"Zi-O, hold up." Geiz cautioned.

"But I want to say something cool too!" Sougo protested.

"Rejoice! The one to inherit all Rider powers, the king of time who will rule over the past and the future. And his name is Kamen Rider Zi-O!" Woz proclaimed as usual before Sougo could say anything and took his leave.

"I figured that might happen. Kamen Rider…Geiz!"

"Now, let's break away!" Ryu declared.

"Together we are, Kamen Riders!" they all declared, posing dramatically with an explosion.

Back in the Crazyverse, Kinji had reached his private box in the stadium for another day of battles when Enter approached.

"Magiste, it seems we have a problem. Our foot soldiers were just about to execute the prisoners per your orders when a bunch of Kamen Riders led by Zi-O and Geiz showed up!"

"We cannot allow them to be rescued! Send as many forces as you can to back up the ones in the Realverse without compromising our forces here!"

"Oui Magiste!" Enter replied with a bow before heading off.

"I hope that's the last problem I have to worry about today…" Kinji muttered to himself, unaware that his former allies were causing trouble throughout his palace…

"Welcome to yet another day of fighting in the Proxy Battle to decide the fate of the Realverse!" Cosmo Royale declared in his best MC voice. "Let's find out who's fighting next!"

The large screen cycled through the remaining contestants and stopped at Kouta.

"Next to fight is Kamen Rider Gaim, Kouta Kazuraba!"

Kouta was escorted out to the center of the battlefield, handed his Driver and Lockseeds as his escort retired.

"Gotta win this…" Kouta told himself.

"And now, let's find out who he's fighting!"

The sounds of Team Baron's theme began echoing through the stadium grounds, as Kaito himself walked out to the center.

"Kaito? You're fighting in this too!?" Kouta exclaimed.

"The only one who gets to take you down is me, Kazuraba. Now let's go!"

Orange!

Banana!

A cacophony between a horogai and trumpets was heard as the two wasted no time starting their fight, their respective Lockseeds unzipping from Cracks overhead.

Lock On!

"Henshin!" they both called.

Soiya! Orange Arms! Hanamichi, On Stage! /Come On! Banana Arms! Knight of Spe~ar!

The two Armored Riders collided with one another and wasted no time locking Daidamaru and Bananaspear in brutal combat.

"I will not let you win, Kazuraba!" Kaito declared.

"Likewise! I have to save my friends and our world from Kinji!"

Orange Squash!

Kouta gathered energy in his Daidaimaru and struck with a powerful slash on Kaito.

Banana Squash!

Kaito leaped into the air and came crashing down with a banana kick.

"Try this on for size!"

Come On! Mango Arms! Fight of Ham~mer!

Soiya! Pine Arms! Funsai Destroy!

Mango Sparkling!

Kaito sent a giant mango projection at Kouta, knocking him back. Kouta responded by locking the Ichigo Lockseed into his Musou Saber, slashing a strawberry that sent thousands of kunai flying at Kaito.

"Enough playing around!" Kaito bellowed, bringing out his OOO Lockseed while Kouta brought out Kachidoki.

Come On! OOO Arms! Tatoba, Ta~To~Ba!

Soiya! Kachidoki Arms! Iza Satsujin! Ei! Ei! Oh!

1, 10, 100, 1,000, 10,000, 100,000,000, 1,000,000,000,000, Muryodaisu: Kachidoki Charge!

Kaito simultaneously swung his Medaljalibur with a battle cry, as Kouta did the same, causing a huge flash and explosion as a result. When the dust cleared, Kouta was still standing, albeit breathing heavily.

"Kamen Rider Gaim wins!"

"HE DID IT!" Ryunosuke exclaimed triumphantly.

"It looks like we're still in this thing," Chiaki added.

"What happens now, Mako-san?" Kotoha asked.

"Well, if Haruto and Gentaro both manage to win, this thing is over, and we all go home. But if one of them happens to lose…I'm not sure what Kinji will do." Mako explained.

"Haruto-san will win. I'm sure of it." Kaoru said confidently.

Back in Panorama, the Riders had begun their battle with the assembled foot soldiers of Kinji.

(cue: "Over 'Quartzer" by Shuta Sueyoshi from AAA feat. ISSA)

[~(Oh, yeah... Ohh...)~]

Kamen Ride: Kuuga!

Tsukasa scanned his Kuuga card to transform into the first Heisei Rider and began attacking hand to hand before scanning another card.

Final Attack Ride: K-K-Kuuga!

[~Isshun de tsukamitoru no sa Are you ready? (Are you ready?)~] (Catch it in an instant! Are you ready? (Are you ready?))

Tsukasa launched into a Rider Kick, taking out a bunch of them.

[~Atarashī rekishi wa soko ni Feel it! Feel it! (Crazy baby!)~] (That's where the new history is! Feel it! Feel it! (Crazy baby!))

Agito pulled his sword out of his belt buckle and began to cut down foot soldiers left and right, as the "horns" on the hilt opened up and he struck with a flaming attack, taking out a bunch more.

[~Hikari wo kate ni kasokushite~] (Use your bonds of light to accelerate)

"Well, if I don't fight, I might not survive," Tsukasa replied as he brought out Ryuki's card.

Kamen Ride: Ryuki!

Final Attack Ride: R-R-Ryuki!

Dragreder was summoned, and he leaped into its flame, striking with a Rider Kick.

"My turn," Geiz replied.

[~Konomama Shout it out! Shout it out!~] (Just keep at it! Shout it out! Shout it out!)

(Digital Beeping) Faiz!

He inserted the Ridewatch on the opposing side and unlocked the center, spinning it 180 degrees.

(Clock ticking noise followed by a clock chime) Rider Time! Kamen Rid~er Geiz! Armor Time! (Pop music mixed with Faiz Phone dial tones) [Faiz Gear] Complete! [Zikuu Driver Voice 2] FAIZ!

He used the Faiz Phone X to summon the Faiz Pointer Pointer to his leg and rotated his Driver again.

Finish Time! Exceed Time Burst!

He launched into his own version of Faiz's signature Rider Kick, taking out even more of the herd.

[~Ima wo susume you~] (Let's keep going in the present)

Blade cut down foot soldiers left and right, continually checking his AP gauge.

"Okay!" he called, opening the storage on the Rouze Absorber and pulled out two cards.

Absorb Queen!

Fusion Jack!

[~Madou hi mo ikudo tonaku asu no tobira tatake~] (There will be confusing days, but knock on the door to tomorrow)

Now in Jack Form, he extended his wings and launched into the sky, scanning Thunder Deer and Slash Lizard.

Thunder!

Slash!

Lightning Slash!

Kenzaki flew by and struck with a lightning-charged attack.

[~Mitsumeta sono saki ni tobikonde mitara Believe Yourself!~] (Just plunge into what's ahead of you! Believe yourself!)

Kamen Ride: Hibiki!

Attack Ride: Ongekibou Rekka!

Final Attack Ride: H-Hi-Hibiki!

Tsukasa drummed away on a bunch of foot soldiers, causing them to be destroyed with pure sound.

[~Now, Over "Quartzer"!~]
[~Toki no ame surinukete tomo ni~] (Let's slip through the torrents of time together)

"Clock Up!" Tendou called.

CLOCK UP

[~You, Over "Quartzer"!~]
[~Mirai wo koe yo~] (Let's cross over to the future)

Now moving at hyper speed, he zipped from immobile foot soldier to foot soldier, softening them up for the final blow.

ONE TWO THREE

"Rider…Kick!"

RIDER KICK!

With a roundhouse, a bunch of foot soldiers exploded.

[~Kako no ishi wa uso de wa azamuke nai~] (Lies can not fool the will of the past)
[~Kanjiro sou Nexus Future~] (Feel it in your bones! The Nexus Future)

CLOCK OVER

Tendou posed dramatically, his hand pointed skyward.

[~Now, Over "Quartzer"!~]
[~Mabayui sekai... Misete!~] (That dazzling world… Enchant me!)

"IKUZE IKUZE IZUZE!" Momotaros shouted as he charged at foot soldiers, only for him to stop suddenly.

Rod Form

His armor rearranged itself, and the Dengasher became a spear.

"Won't you let me reel you in?" Urataros asked the assembled foot soldiers.

[~Keiken ga toikakete iru Are you breaker? (Are you breaker?)~] (Fate begins to ask you Are you breaker? (Are you breaker?))
[~Utagau hima ga nai hodo ni Feel it! Feel it! (Crazy baby!)~] (Suspicious of why there's no time Feel it! Feel it! (Crazy baby!))

Before he could do anything, his hand pushed the purple button.

Gun Form

The armor rearranged itself once again, as giggling was heard.

"Hey, mind if I shoot you guys? Can't hear you!" Ryutaros replied.

[~Kodoku nante hitoriyogari-sa~] (You're getting complacent with solitude)

He began firing wildly, hitting foot soldiers nearly hit a few of the assembled Riders, and dented many nearby warehouses.

"Well, can't get any worse!" Tsukasa replied, but Den-O had one more change in him.

Wing Form

"My Word! I am shocked that Destonus has waited until now to allow me to be in this fanfiction. Ah well, might as well make the most of it. Advent! To the Top!"

Sword Form

[~Konomama Shoot it Out! Shoot it Out!~] (Now's the time to Shoot it out! Shoot it out!)

"Ohhh no, you damn chicken! I'm going to take them out!" Momotaros declared.

Full Charge

"My Hissatsu attack…special final appearance in this fanfiction version!"

Despite the more extended and cooler sounding name, he launched into the same attack he always did, detaching the blade from the Dengasher and whipping it around and through the enemy.

[~Negai kakageyou~] (Let your wishes fly!)

Form Ride: Kiva Garulu!

Final Attack Ride: K-K-Kiva!

Tsukasa launched into the Garulu Bite, taking out even more of the assembled horde as they made their way closer to the prisoners.

[~Seikai wa hitotsu janai yamiyo ni mimi sumase~] (There's not just one answer, you can hear it clearly)

Double flicked his wrist and charged in with punches and kicks, but one got a lucky hit in and knocked him backward.

"That does it. Let's go, partner."

Joker! Maximum Drive!

He floated into the air, before splitting in half as both halves slammed through the foot soldiers and reformed.

[~Mitsuketa sono kodō hibika sete mitara Believe Yourself!~] (Find the beat ringing out in the night and Believe yourself!)

Eiji brought out the Medaljalibur and charged in, and started to cut his way into the warehouse, with the other Riders behind him.

Triple Scanning Charge!

"SEIYA!" he called, slashing through space-time and the foot soldiers.

[~You, Over "Quartzer"!~]
[~Yoake o tsugeyou~] (Signaling the coming of dawn!)

Rider Time! Kamen Rider Zi-O! Armor Time! (Fast-paced triumphant music mixed with Fourze Driver's standby) 3, 2, 1! Fourze!

"UCHUU…KITAAAOW!" Sougo shouted as he tried to emulate Fourze, only to be whacked upside the head by Geiz.

"Focus!" he shouted.

Finish Time! Limit Time Break!

Zi-O collapsed into a space shuttle and flew into a group of foot soldiers, shouting, "Rider Rocket Kick!"

"It's Rocket DRILL Kick! Get it right!" Geiz corrected.

[~Dare no tame ka nani no tame no yume ka~] (Who or what is it you dream for?)

Rider Time! Kamen Rid~er Geiz! Armor Time! (Drumbeat mixed with Magical Portal chimes) Please! Wizard!

He attached the Wizard Ridewatch to his Zikan-Zax in Ono Mode and performed a Zakkuri Cutting, emulating Infinity Style's finisher and wiping out another bunch.

"Keep pushing! I can see them!" Sougo pointed.

"Who put you in charge?" Geiz retorted.

[~Michibike-sou Nexus Future~] (Leading to the Nexus Future)

Rider Time! Kamen Rider Zi-O! Armor Time! (J-rock music followed by Lockseed's locked & closed sound) Soiya! Ga~im!

"In the spotlight, on parade! Ow!" Sougo exclaimed.

"It's in the spotlight, on stage! Now, go make it yours now!"

Sougo brought out his Daidaimaru and charged in with Gaim Armor, using his Squash Time Break to take out even more foot soldiers.

[~Now, Over "Quartzer"!~]
[~Aratana sekai...Egake!~] (A new world is coming… picture it!)

"Geiz! Start your engine!"

"I know that!" Geiz replied.

Rider Time! Kamen Rid~er Geiz! Armor Time! (Brass riff similar to Type Speed's) Drive! Drive!

Finish Time! Hissatsu Time Burst!

He performed his own version of Drive's Justismash finisher, running around the foot soldiers and punching them rapidly.

[~Tatoe tōkuhanarete ite mo deau hazu sa~] (Even if you're far away, we'll meet again for sure)

"Geiz, could you lend me Ghost?"

"Fine, here!"

Rider Time! Kamen Rider Zi-O! Armor Time! (Techno Rock music with Decadriver's transformation announcement) Kamen Ride! Wow! Decade! Decade! De~cade!

Final Form Time! Gho-Gho-Gho-Ghost!

"My life is burning bright with infinite souls!"

Finish Time! Gho-Gho-Gho-Ghost Final Attack Time Break!

[~Kasaneta sono itami kizanda chikai to~] (The pain piled up with an engraved vow)

"Let me use Ex-Aid then!"

"Okay!" Sougo called, tossing him the Ridewatch.

[~Hoshi o kiseki to~] (Stars chasing miracles)

Rider Time! Kamen Rid~er Geiz! Armor Time! (Electronic Pop mixed with Rider Gashat-esque music) Level Up! Ex-Aid!

"I won't need any continues for this."

Finish Time! Critical Time Burst!

[~Hate naki tabiji de!~] (On an endless journey!)

Geiz performed a copy of Ex-Aid's Mighty Critical Finish, complete with "Hit!" and "Critical Hit!" bubbles appearing in the air.

"This should do it!" Sougo replied, bringing out the last of the Ridewatches.

Final Form Time! B-B-B-Build!

B-B-B-Build Final Attack Time Break!

[~Now, Over "Quartzer"!~]

The remaining foot soldiers were caught in a ribbon of jibberish from Sougo's non-scientific mind before he slid down into them.

[~Toki no ame surinukete tomo ni~] (Let's slip through the torrents of time together)

"Zi-O, can you count? What about those guys?" Gei z asked, pointing to a group of survivors.

[~You, Over "Quartzer"!~]
[~Mirai wo koe yo~] (Let's cross over to the future)

"I really don't think this is going to work out…" Sougo moaned.

[~Now, Over "Quartzer"!~]
[~Mabayui sekai... Misete!~] (That dazzling world… Enchant me!)

"Relax kid, I'll take care of it," Accel replied.

[~Kako no ishi wa uso de wa azamuke nai~] (Lies can not fool the will of the past)

"How are you going to do that, Terui-san? There's got to be at least thirty of them!" Sougo insisted.

[~Kanjiro sou Nexus Future~] (Feel it in your bones! The Nexus Future)

"Don't ask me questions!" Accel shot back.

[~Now, Over "Quartzer"!~]
[~Mabayui sekai... Misete!~] (That dazzling world… Enchant me!)

Trial! (Countdown sound, followed by an engine speeding)

[~Saikō no ichibyō made mo (Now, Over "Quartzer"!)~] (Dash as fast as possible (Now, Over "Quartzer"!))

"Trial! Maximum Drive!" the Memory announced as he sped forward and began kicking the foot soldiers vigorously as the timer wound down.

[~Saidai no kasoku kakero (Over "Quartzer"!)~] (Until the last second (Over "Quartzer"!)

".1 seconds. That was the time until your despair." He announced as the foot soldiers exploded behind him.

[~Saegiru subete o koete!~] (Go beyond all obstacles!)

"Are you all okay?" Sougo asked the prisoners as the other Riders helped to free them.

[~Yes, my lord... Yes, my lord...~]
[~Yes, my lord... Yes, my lord...~]

"So…Many…Kamen…Riders!" Tomoko replied, letting out a squeal of delight before fainting into JK's arms.

[~You're my king!~]

"Are Kisaragi and the others all right?" Kengo asked.

"Not really sure. We're all here because of these two deciding to go on a time-tripping ride and abducting us in the night!" Tsukasa replied, pointing to Sougo and Geiz.

"IT WAS TSUKUYOMI'S IDEA!" Both Sougo and Geiz exclaimed simultaneously and unexpectedly of the other.

"Is she going to be okay?" Sougo asked.

"Probably. I don't think Tomoko's seen that many Kamen Riders in one place before." Shun replied.

"Oh! Could you please give this to Fourze?" Sougo asked Yuki, handing her a blank Ridewatch.

"Do you know if Haruto-san and Nitoh-san are all right?" Mayu asked.

"Like he said, we're not really sure. A girl in white who's been drinking way too much coffee lately is calling the shots on this one." Geiz explained.

"Well, Micchi and Kouta better get back soon, the Finals are tomorrow!" Mai exclaimed. "We'll be disqualified!"

"I'm sure they're fine too." Sougo insisted.

"But you two, how come you can use armors based on Kouta's and Haruto's and Gen…" Mai was cut off as Geiz blasted her with the stun setting from his Faiz Phone X.

"Stop doing that, Geiz!" Sougo protested.

"She's not supposed to know about us yet, dimwit!"

"Well, I suppose we should get everyone back where they belong. I'll take care of that part you forgot about, don't worry." Tsukasa replied, creating a shimmering wall that everyone stepped through, sending the Wizard group back to Japan and had the added effect of erasing the memories of the gathered Kamen Riders except Nogami, Sougo, Geiz, and of course Tsukasa.

The two arrived back on the Den-Liner, to find Tsukuyomi wiped out, snoring away.

"I guess all the coffee finally wore off and hit her like a ton of bricks," Geiz observed.

"Well, that was fun!" Sougo said.

"Remind me to thank the pink guy for erasing the Riders memories for us."

Tsukasa appeared through yet another dimensional wall, rubbing his head. "I'm not pink, I'm magenta!"

"Forget something?" Geiz asked, pointing to an unconscious Phillip.

"Yeah. I realized it just about when Aki-chan clonked me over the head with her 'ONORE DIEKEDO!' slipper that she was saving for just such an occasion."

"Just a sec, can I borrow your camera?" Geiz asked.

"I guess, but hurry it up, Shotaro really needs to pee back there."

"This will only take a second," Geiz replied, snapping a few pictures of Tsukuyomi and Phillip passed out on each other, before handing the camera back to Tsukasa who hefted Phillip over his shoulder and headed out through yet another dimensional wall.

Back in the Crazyverse, the stage was set for yet another bout.

"Um…Mageste…. you're not going to like this." Enter reported.

"What…happened….?" Kinji growled, knowing he was not going to like the news either way.

"The prisoners were somehow rescued, Mageste." Enter explained carefully.

"WHAT!?" Kinji bellowed. "This is a setback, albeit a minor one. As long as the other Riders don't know, we still have an advantage. Cosmo!"

"Right away, Your Malevolence!"

Next up on the big screen was Haruto. He was led out to the center as the other fighters were, handed his Driver, as doors on the other end opened to reveal Kamen Rider Sorcerer.

"Orma? But I defeated him!"

"Kinji seems to have a large group of guys we've already defeated, doesn't he…"? Chiaki commented back in the stands.

"More likely this is his Crazyverse counterpart, and Kinji picked him to fight Haruto," Renn explained.

"Would our contestants please henshin, so we can get this fight underway!"

Both readied their Change Rings.

"Henshin!" They called.

Change, Now!

Flame, Please! Hi-Hi, Hi-Hi-Hi!

"Now, it's showtime!" Haruto declared, posing.

Connect, Now!

Connect, Please!

They brought out their weapons of choice and went at it.

"I wonder why they're not using their magic on each other if they're both mages?" Kotoha wondered aloud.

Yes! Lightning! Understand?

Sorcerer let loose with a lightning blast at Haruto, who quickly used his Defend Ring to block it.

"Way to give them ideas, Kotoha." Chiaki quipped as Mako whacked him upside the head.

"I'M SORRY HARUTO-SAN!" Kotoha shouted in Haruto's direction.

"It's okay Kotoha!" Haruto called back. "Let's see how you like this, Orma!"

Chōīne! Kick Strike! Saikō!

Haruto flipped and somersaulted towards Orma, attempting to land a Rider Kick, but Orma swung his Dis Halberd like a baseball bat and sent Haruto flying in the opposite direction, causing Kaoru to cringe as he landed.

"Oww…" Haruto replied as he got up, rubbing his head.

"ARE YOU OKAY HARUTO-SAN!?" Kotoha called.

Haruto gave her a thumbs up to assure her and the others that he wasn't out of this yet!

"Okay, no more Mister nice Ring Mage."

Flame, Dragon! Bou, Bou, Bou-Bou-Bou!

"Let's see how you fare against four of me," Haruto said, using the Connect Ring to grab the Drago Timer and set it on his wrist.

Drago Time! Set Up! Start!

The Timer began to count down as Haruto pressed his attack on Sorcerer.

Water Dragon!

Haruto's blue clone appeared and began double teaming Orma.

"Good, it's working!" Haruto thought to himself.

Hurricane Dragon!

"How about a taste of your own medicine?" Hurricane Dragon answered.

Chōīne! Thunder! Saikō!

Yes! Reflect! Understand?

Sorcerer used his upgraded Defend Ring to redirect the lightning attack, which struck the recently arrived Land Dragon, but due to his durability, it merely tickled him.

Flame/Water/Hurricane/Land Dragon, Slash Strike! Bou-Bou, Bou-Bou-Bou!/ Jabajaba Bashān, Zabun Zabun!/ Byu-Byu, Byu-Byu-Byu-Byu!/ Dan Den Don Zu Dogon, Dan Den Dogon!

Yes! Reflect! Understand?

"Aw Shit!" the four Haruto announced in unison.

Defend, Please!

Up went four barriers, but somehow the attacks hit the Haruto most vulnerable, which dismissed the clones and knocked Haruto himself off his feet.

"Only one thing left to try. Let's go Dragon!"

Chōīne! Finish Strike! Saikō!

Haruto transformed into Gold Infinity Dragon

"The Finale of the Finale!" Haruto declared as he flew at Orma, who countered with his own finisher, all the mana put into the attacks causing a massive explosion.

"The smoke's clearing, but I can't tell who it is," Chiaki said.

"Did Haruto win?" Kotoha asked.

"Let's have hope," Mako replied.

The smoke finally cleared enough, to find both Orma and Haruto dehenshined.

"HARUTO!" Kaoru screamed.

"It's a draw! We'll clean up this mess and be back for our next fight in a jiffy!"

As Kinji's forces worked to get the arena ready to go again, reports kept coming in about missing foot soldiers, and rumors of the Ninningers loose in the fortress. Also, no one seemed to pay much attention to the two large blips headed for it, considering all the guards in the radar room were dead, and a shimmering form could be seen turning off the radar screen as well as the defenses…

In the meantime, Kaoru was allowed to go down with Mako to see Haruto, who was recovering from his fight in the infirmary.

"Are you feeling better, Haruto-san?" she asked.

"Ah, Kaoru-chan! Don't worry, the transformation took the brunt of it. But I could go for a plain sugar donut or two…" he replied weakly.

"You had me so worried…" Kaoru said softly.

"Don't worry Kaoru-chan! It'll take more than that to take me out." He replied with a smile.

"Come on…let's let him rest." Mako replied, leading her back to their seats.

"Welcome back, everyone! We're down to our last contestant, so let's not welcome Gentaro Kisaragi!"

Gentaro was led out to the center ring, handed the Fourze Drive, as the gates on the other end opened and both Groundain and Skydain came out!

"What? Two? Time out! If you're going to double team me, at let me double-team them back!" Gentaro protested.

"Hang on, let me consult with the boss," Cosmo replied.

"That's strange…" Micchi noticed.

"What is it?" Hiroto asked him.

"Remember how before Kinji had Mai-san and the others in his box with him?" Micchi explained.

Hiroto nodded in reply.

"Well, they don't seem to be there anymore."

"Maybe he put them somewhere safer?" Miu offered.

"I'm not sure about that, Miu-san. Earlier when Kouta-san was fighting, Kinji seemed quite upset about something."

"Well, we're not going anywhere at the moment, and even if we could, we don't have our gear." Ryuji reminded everyone.

"It appears that His Malevolence agrees with you. But he gets to pick your partner!" Cosmo announced.

"Well, I suppose it's better than nothing. Okay, I accept!" Gentaro replied.

"Splendid! Let's welcome Fourze's partner for this fight!"

"Full Throttle" began sounding through the arena's speakers, as everyone began to cheer as footage of a confident Rider began to appear on the screen as everyone cheered.

"That's weird…the bad guys are cheering for a good guy?" Yoko observed.

"Maybe he's working undercover?" Ryuji thought.

The gates opened again to the sound of a motorcycle, as cheers erupted through the stands and grew to a fever pitch as he made a few loops around the arena's perimeter before pulling up next to Gentaro and dismounting, as Kinji's cowboy grunts walked his bike back behind the gates.

"Ladies, Gentlemen, and Monsters! Please welcome Kamen Rider Mach, Go Shijima!"

"Nice to meet you! I'm Gentaro Kisaragi, the man who will befriend all Kamen Riders! Put 'er there!"

As was typical of him, a bewildered Go did the Friendship Handshake with Gentaro.

"Now let's send these guys back to the scrap heap!" Gentaro declared.

"I'm on board with that!" Go replied.

Signal Bike! Rider! Mach! (Groovy music)

Gentaro threw the four Transwitches one by one, firing up his Fourze Driver.

…3!

The Space Tetsujin looked on.

…2!

Gentaro and Go stood ready to fight.

…1!

Gentaro's comrades in the stands hoped all would go well.

"Let's, Henshin!" Go called.

"Henshin!" Gentaro followed suit, shifting the Enter Lever.

Now transformed, Gentaro curled up and exploded upward with an "UCHUU…KITAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA! Kamen Rider Fourze! Let's settle this man-to-man!"

"Track! Eradicate! I'm always at Mach Speed! Kamen Rider…MACH!"

Go charged forward as Gentaro fired a barrage from his Launcher Module.

Winch!

WINCH ON

Elec ON (Electricity crackle, followed by high-energy techno music)

Gentaro hooked Skydain with his Winch Module and then touched Billy the Rod to it.

"RIDER ELECTRIC SHOCK!"

Go in the meantime opened up on Groundain with his Zenrin Shooter.

Zenrin!

Go spun the wheel on the weapon, as he struck Groundain with it, but the giant blue robot failed to budge.

"What's with this guy?" Go wondered.

Signal Bike! Signal Koukan: Tomarle! (High pitched electronica music)

Go shot Groundain with a Stop sign, paralyzing him in place.

Hissatsu! Full Throttle!

He fired a projection of his Mach Signal Bike at Groundain, but it was apparently going to take more than that to get rid of him.

NET ON

"Aha! Got you!" Gentaro replied, catching Skydain with his Net Module. Unfortunately, she transformed into her Jet mode and rocketed skyward with Gentaro in tow!

"Gotta try something else!"

PARACHUTE ON

GATLING ON

As he fell, Gentaro opened up with rapid fire from his Gatling Module, managing to get some hits on her with his barrage thanks to Parachute slowing his decent. Unfortunately, she decided to launch missiles at him, which he directed both Launcher and Gatling to shoot down before they hit him.

WATER ON

Gentaro let loose a spray of water at Skydain, hoping it would rust her and cause her to fall out of the sky, but he had no such luck.

If things couldn't get any weirder, Gentaro had a message from his Radar Switch, so he activated that and answered.

"Yuki?" Gentaro said in disbelief. "I thought Kinji had you, prisoner?"

"Nope, a bunch of Kamen Riders came and broke us out! This silver guy who turned into a form based on you gave us this strange watch and told us to give it to you!"

"That's great! But I'm a little busy right now, can I call you back?" Gentaro replied.

"Yeah, sure!"

He had finally managed to touch down thanks to his jets, and Skydain had landed as well.

CHAIN ARRAY ON

"Try this on for size!" Gentaro shouted, swinging the weapon at Skydain, but she blocked with her blades.

The two raised their hands and fired a beam that knocked back Go and Gentaro into one another.

"I don't think we're getting anywhere with these guys." Go replied.

"I'm not giving up! If normal Switches aren't doing the trick, I'll just use the one that worked last time!"

"Wait, you've fought these guys BEFORE? Don't tell me you were stalling!"

Fusion (Super)!

Gentaro inserted the Fusion Switch into the leftmost slot in his Fourze Driver and spun the globe.

SUPER FUSION ON

"Wait a sec, I don't remember Kengo recalibrating it back to normal…" Ryuusei thought to himself. But before he could warn Gentaro, its power kicked in, as WizarDragon flew out of his chest and circled him before flying into him, turning his suit silver in color, and the Kachidoki Lockseed landed on top of him.

"Hey, I've got something like that too!"

Signal Bike, Shift Car! Rider: Mach Chaser! (Groovy music and heavy metal guitar solo)

"Come, Dragon!" Gentaro called, as Haruto's familiar flew out and became his axe form, and Gentaro attached the DJ Gun to the Barizun Sword as before and plugged the Fusion Switch into the slot on the bottom.

High Touch! Shining Strike!

"RIDER SUPER SPARKLING GREAT GALAXY FINISH!" Gentaro bellowed at the top of his lungs as he took out Skydain.

"NIIIISAAAAAN!" she shouted before exploding.

Go, meanwhile brought out Chase's weapon, pushed the button on the side and jammed it into the ground.

Matteroyo!

Hissatsu! Full Throttle! Mach!

Itteiiyo!

Go struck with his own finisher first, before the light on the Axe turned green, and then swung it across Groundain, taking him out as well.

"Gentaro and Go WiN!" Cosmo declared triumphantly. "Since there's a tie between you and us, all the winners of their individual bouts will face His Malevolence in the final round!"

Otsukare!

"Hey, thanks again for the help!" Gentaro told Go, as the other Rider pulled him close and whispered something in his ear. Gentaro nodded in understanding.

As things were reset for the final match, Gentaro met up with the other Reds and Kouta.

"Something's going down here," Gentaro replied.

"What do you mean?" Kouta asked.

"There 's a resistance in this world, and they're about to hit this place," Gentaro explained.

"What do they want us to do?" Kouta asked.

"What we've been doing. Dealing with Kinji. Hopefully, they can help us escape from here." Gentaro explained.
