ACVENTURE 2 : REVIVED VICTORY!
Rain poured down around them, as an invisible force stopped the rain from entering the Victory Sailer. Akimoto was leaning on the railing, looking around the area, as Yusuke watched him oddly. Fortune was at the mast panel, typing away at something with their feet.
"Captain... What was that about?" Yusuke inquired, Akimoto turning only slightly. "What was what about?" Akimoto asked, even though he knew what Yusuke meant. "Another Shin... Who are they?" Yusuke asked another question, Akimoto turning fully and staring at him.
"Remember how I said that only RideWatches can beat Another Riders? Well, when a RideWatch doesn't exist and an Another Rider of the same type does, they become unbeatable... Another Shin has no Shin RideWatch counterpart." Akimoto explained, yusuke's eyes widening. "But can't you just-" Yusuke began, Akimoto hitting the railing in sudden anger.
"Yusuke... There are some Another Riders that I can't handle... I just can't." Akimoto said, his voice having a tone of finality as Yusuke just nodded, letting the topic go for now. Fortune fluttered over, cheering happily, which (for the bird) sounded similar to a bunch of gears grinding slowly and methodically.
"We've arrived in the World of Ghost!" Fortune announced, Akimoto's eyes narrowing as he turned away, leaning against the railing as he remembered... Someone. Akimoto noticed his eyes beginning to water, wiping them quickly. "Well then... Let's go get a lay of the land, shall we?" Akimoto offered, Yusuke nodding quickly. The plank lowered, the two stepping off the ship and onto a grassy shoreline, walking off.
Meanwhile... Fortune fluttered over to the screen, using it's talons to press a few keys as a video came up, showing 2068 once more. However, this 2068 was a lot less destroyed and more peaceful, with a single battle occurring on a beach between Akimoto and some Guardians.
Akimoto was knocked down onto his back, making him grunt in pain as he sat up. The Guardians approached now, raising their fists... Only for a flash of white to float past them hauntingly, kicking them away. Akimoto looked up in awe, his face much younger than it is as Victory.
The flash of white stopped in front of Akimoto, offering a hand out to him. Akimoto took the hand, standing as he stared at a black and white face plate. "Ayumu!" Akimoto remembered, as Kamen Rider New Ghost let out a small laugh. Ayumu was the son of past Kamen Rider, Takeru Tenkuji, who had fought as Kamen Rider Ghost in the years 2015 and 2016.
"You really need to stop going off on your own, y'know." Ayumu joked, much to Akimoto's chagrin. "Whatever... Can't you just help me out here?" Akimoto asked, Ayumu nodding. "Of course. It's a Kamen Rider's job, ain't it?" Ayumu remarked, before turning to the Guardians and running forward, with the screen turning black as they clashed.
"Huh... He must be remembering Ayumu. That kid was a good guy, but the Black Order had to be dicks I guess. I wonder where those two went-" Fortune thought aloud, before a green knit bag went over Fortune and clamped shut, a group of people in Ghost-like masks taking the bag and leaving the ship quickly.
ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD OF GHOST
Rain continued to fall, pattering the pavement beneath the feet of Akimoto and Yusuke. The pair walked through the area, going past metal fencing that protected graveyards, some weathered and others new. Akimoto whistled to himself quietly, Yusuke just taking in the surroundings. Despite the rain, the two could hear birds chirping around them from the trees, the avians most likely using the treetops for cover from the precipitation.
The peaceful atmosphere around the two heroes was suddenly ruined as they heard fighting from nearby. Akimoto and Yusuke looked at each other, before running towards the source of the noise. As the pair ran, Akimoto removed both his Jikuu Driver and his two RideWatches from his jacket, while Yusuke held up his Build Driver.
The two arrived at the source of the noise, which was the center of a park close to the graveyard. The cool and calm atmosphere of the park was being disrupted by a fight between a group of men and a monster. The men all wore Ghost-esque masks, holding rifles and firing at the monster, which looked like a monstrous version of Kamen Rider Specter, the year 2016 plastered onto the belt.
"Another Specter... " Akimoto started, as both of them put on their Drivers. The Another Rider turned, growling at the two. "Kamen Riders... I'll show you my way of death!" Another Specter roared, running forward as Akimoto inserted the RideWatch and spun his Driver, while Yusuke put in two Bottles and turned the crank. The Snap-Riders that formed came out and smacked Another Specter away.
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER VIKU-TOR-Y~!
MOLE! DRILL! BEST MATCH! ARE YOU READY? THE SPINNING DIGGER! MOLEDRILL! YEAH!
The transformations completed themselves, Akimoto running forward as Yusuke went to the human fighters, all holding their wounds. "You guys need to get out of here!" Yusuke ordered, turning his back to them as he was about to go. However, he was stopped as one of them grabbed his shoulder, holding him down. He turned again, hearing one of them speak in a gritty tone.
"The Hoppers are coming! You need us!" The man yelled, Yusuke cocking his head to one side. "Hoppers...?" Yusuke started, turning again as he watched Victory kick Specter against a park bench, punching him in the gut. "What are Hoppers?!" Yusuke turned, asking the fighter. "They're terrors among the Worlds!" The man replied, keeping his mask on to hide his face.
Akimoto was shoved back by Specter, the former having flames suddenly hit him from behind, sending him flying into Yusuke, who caught him and held him up. The two turned, seeing a legion of basic Ganma holding strange red rifles. "Who... Gave them those?" Akimoto wondered aloud, only for the Ganma to suddenly shine, switching to another form.
The Ganma were replaced by skeletal bug-like footsoldiers with a strange headband on, resembling a dial. The creatures reached up with their free hand, still gripping the red rifles, and spun the dial together in unison until it landed on the Build symbol, their bodies morphing into that of Touto Guardians.
"Hoppers! Run!" The man from before shouted, standing upright as the other fighters took off running. Victory and Yusuke both stood, clenching their fists, before charging at the Guardians. "These are the Hoppers?!" Yusuke exclaimed, as he slashed two of them with his drill arm. "Seems so... They can shapeshift between footsoldiers!" Akimoto confirmed, flipping past two as he took out the Build RideWatch, clicking it and inserting it into his Jikuu Driver, shouting as Snap-Riders formed infront of him, "Armor Time!"
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER VIKU-TOR-Y~! ARMOR TIME! RABBIT! TANK! BUILD~!
The Snap-Riders pumped out the Build Armor, slamming it onto him. He then ran forward with his drill arm, cutting through two Guardians at once, turning and kicking a third. While this occurred, the remaining rebel fighter stared at them. "Kamen Rider Victory... And a new Rider... They could help me." The man spoke to himself, before hearing laughter from nearby.
"Silence the call of your heart!" The man ducked to the side as a dark version of Necrom swung at him, a bulky piece of his arm being used as a mace. Running along one of his shoulders was the year 2016. Yusuke turned, seeing the man being attacked, and quickly ran to assist him, only to be stopped by two of the Guardians blasting him with the flame rifles.
Another Specter walked over to the man as the Hoppers kept the Riders distracted, raising his fist and punching the mask off of them. The man stumbled, turning to reveal... Onari. Onari had more scars and signs of age on his face, but it was clear that it was the same man.
"Silly priest... Show your true face!" Specter roared in rage, kicking him in the gut. Onari was sent staggering back, before falling onto his rear by the mask. "Please... Please don't make me... I'm no Another Rider... I just want to find my son!" Onari screamed, taking out the Another Ghost RideWatch and clicking it once, inserting it into his chest as he changed into Another Ghost, throwing his hood back.
GHOST
Specter kicked Ghost down, raising his fist before slamming it into Another Ghost's chest, keeping him pinned down to the ground as he let out a chilling laugh. "Your son is gone, Onari... Accept it and suffer!" Specter shouted, raising both hands to slam down onto Onari. However, this was stopped as Victory lunged past, grabbing Onari by the arm and pulling him to the side, rolling.
"Damn human... Let's go, Necrom!" Specter roared, Necrom nodding as they both ran forward. Victory crouched, slashing them both with the drill weapon. "Hm... I think I'll call this the Build Crusher." Akimoto wondered, spinning around and slicing upwards at Necrom as the latter made their move. Akimoto then shrugged his shoulders, the bottles on his shoulders becoming slightly fizzy as his movements became more rough. Akimoto swung once at Specter, the fist connecting and knocking the monster Rider into a bench ten feet away.
"We should go... Now!" Victory shouted, turning to see Yusuke kicking the last of the Guardians to the ground quickly. The Rider nodded, running over as Another Ghost looked up at them. "Can I... Come?" Onari asked quietly, Victory grabbing his arm happily. "You don't have to ask. It was already a part of our plan to bring you along! C'mon!" The hero shouted, before the three took off running from the park. Necrom and Specter clambered to their feet, before staring after them silently.
"Boss won't be too happy about this." Specter commented, looking around the area as Necrom nodded silently. The two then looked at each other, before a ghostly glow enveloped them. The Another Riders' feet now had their corrupted Rider symbols under them, as both sunk into them and into the ground, disappearing into the symbol as they vanished.
VICTORY SAILER
Another Ghost fell to his knees, turning back into Onari as Yusuke leaned on the railing by him. Akimoto had gone off to try and prepare scanners for Another Rider attacks. Yusuke crossed his arms, looking at Onari in confusion. "Why are you kneeling? We didn't force you down or anything?" Yusuke asked in interest, Onari looking up quickly.
"To atone for being an Another Rider... I assume Victory the cannibalistic pirate has gone off to get forks and knives?" Onari asked, Yusuke staring before bursting into a fit of laughter, slapping his knee hard. "Oh c'mon! You really believe that propaganda?!" Yusuke answered, with Onari narrowing his eyes in confusion.
"Yeah right! Who even are you, some new lackey?" Onari argued, Yusuke stepping forward. "I'm Kamen Rider Vrains. Named off the smartest party in the body." Yusuke explained, Onari looking at him in confusion. "... Don't you mean Brains?""No, Vrains." "What I am even arguing for... My son's gone for good."
Onari shook his head, going to the railing and leaning on them, looking at the sky in frustration. "Son?" Yusuke asked carefully, going next to Onari and leaning on the railing aswell. Birds chirped from afar, as Onari let a few tears drip off his face. "Yes... Brook.. My son." Onari began, before sniffling and wiping his eyes. Yusuke stared in confusion.
"He idolized his first godfather... Takeru Tenkuji... My best friend and idol. But then one day... When the world's were split, Takeru was killed by Another Dark Ghost... Him and Makoto. Brook was so mad... He was driven mad because of his death... He went out to fight against the Black Order and... And he never came back!" Onari let out, beginning to cry as he clenched his fist around the Another Ghost RideWatch. Yusuke stared at it, before his eyes widening.
"Ghost... I don't know much about this World, but... You took on that power so they'd bring him back, right? Like the Another RideWatch users?" Yusuke connected, Onari nodding through his tears. "But then those fools... They told me he never died... They are lying, but if it's true... Where is he?!" Onari screamed, pounding on the railing in anguish. Yusuke stared at him, before looking around. "Where's Fortune?"
ELSEWHERE
The Ghost mask men stopped in an alleyway, holding the knitted bag together before opening it to let Fortune fly out. As the bird flew from the bag, it noticed that each man had a rifle aimed at it, except for two. "Guess you guys don't want me getting away, huh? Figures! Anyways, who are you?" The bird asked, one of the men without a mask taking theirs off to show Gyro.
"That ship... Was the Victory Sailer, correct?" Gyro inquired, Fortune nodding it's robotic head quickly. "Yes! Home to my Captain and our newest addition, Yusu- Wait! Why am I telling you this! YOU KIDNAPPED ME!" Fortune shouted, the second masked man letting out a chuckle before taking off their mask.
"Yeah, we're sorry about that... Only way to properly talk to you without sticking around and getting Black Order guys on that ship." The man spoke, as the reveal of the face seemed to shock Fortune. "Whoa... This would blow Ayumu out of the water..." Fortune murmured, before the man held out a black and orange RideWatch. "Here. This is a gift to the pirate from one of my close friends." The man spoke again, Fortune nodding and biting onto the RideWatch.
"Now, fly away birdie. Give that to your master... And see if you can find our Onari friend." The man asked, Fortune nodding before flying off into the sky, headed off in the direction they came from. Gyro turned to the leader, confused. "Why are we letting that bird go... Isn't Victory a mass murdering cannibal?!" Gyro asked loudly, the man turning to reveal... Alain.
"You honestly believe propaganda from the Black Order? Come on Gyro, I had much more faith in you. Besides... I listened to the call of my heart, and it said to trust the pirate." Alain finished, Gyro nodding quickly as the group began to move along.
AT THE GRAVEYARDS
Another Specter walked past the tombstones, humming to themselves before kicking one and shattering it. "What a dumb human... Helping an Another Rider escape their punishment... I'll make sure he suffers when we meet again!" Specter grumbled, a figure emerging behind them and staring.
The figure was covered in ripped bandages, tufts of hair sticking out from the top of their head. The figure held a blank Eyecon in one hand, and stumbled to follow Specter. The Another Rider did not notice, as the being tried to chase him down. Specter then reached the gates to the graveyard, opening them and turning to shut them... Only to see the figure.
"Brook... Stay in your cage!" Another Specter roared, kicking the figure down and slamming the gates shut on the graveyard, the figure landing on their back and grunting quietly. Another Specter then cackled loudly, leaning against the bars and staring at the pitiful prisoner, before turning to leave.
"Where... Where's Dad?" A male voice came from the figure, Another Specter stopping and letting out a small chuckle. "Your father is now Another Ghost. A monster, like myself and Jey. You would do well to join us." Another Specter commented, before shifting into his human form of Jebil. This only brought out a laugh from Brook, causing Jebil to turn in rage.
"My father... He's gonna kick your ass!" Brook screamed, sitting up and staring at the villain. Jebil glared back at the eyes he saw among the bandaged face, before laughing loudly and kicking the gate, rattling it and startling Brook away from it.
Jebil then moved off, leaving Brook alone. Brook got to his feet, looking down at the blank Eyecon. "Godfather... What am I doing wrong... " Brook murmured, clenching the Eyecon in his hand as he turned and headed back through the graveyard, humming to himself, before picking up a guitar on one of the coffins and strummed it once.
Brook continued to strum the guitar, walking softly through the area. As he did so, he began to murmur lyrics he had thought up under his breath, so quiet no one could hear them except for the singer himself. Brook's eyes showed a small amount of happiness, clearly disliking how alone he was. Brook then set his guitar down, going into a large crypt and running his hand along it's mossy walls. Brook whistled to himself, going to the end of the crypt.
There, at the end of the crypt, was a wooden table covered in scratches. On it, and around it, where candles that seemed to have been lit for a long time, getting close to going out. Along the table was pictures of Onari and Takeru, along with pictures of Kamen Rider Ghost fighting in his various forms. "Godfather fought so hard to protect my father... I should be able to do the same thing... " Brook muttered, clenching his fist and punching the table.
VICTORY SAILER, AN HOUR LATER
Akimoto returned, finding Onari sitting by the end of the boat and Yusuke giving him space, cleaning off the rudder. Akimoto walked over, pointing over his shoulder to Onari as he reached Yusuke. "What's wrong with that guy? Guy seemed so grizzled when we first met him, now he's just sitting and crying." Akimoto commented, Yusuke turning.
"He became an Another Rider to find the son that was taken from him by the Black Order. His son died fighting for Takeru's memory, and Onari thinks it's his fault for idolizing the guy so much that his son thought Takeru Tenkuji was so strong." Yusuke explained, Akimoto nodding slowly as he turned and looked at the man.
"Well... That's bullshit." Akimoto responded, pushing Yusuke out of the way as he tested the rudder a bit, Yusuke glaring at him and shoving him. "What do you mean, that's bullshit?! The man lost his son!" Yusuke quietly shouted, Akimoto staring with a cold gaze.
"If his son believed so much in Takeru Tenkuji, then why is Onari still alive and kicking?" Akimoto asked, Yusuke confused as Akimoto continued. "If he was so focused on being like his hero, Onari would be more hurt than he is." Akimoto elaborated, Yusuke's eyes widening as he turned to stare at Onari.
The man was sitting and sobbing to himself, holding his face in anguish as he thought about his son. Yusuke then turned back to Akimoto, lowering his voice. "So... His son wasn't completely focused on avenging Kamen Rider Ghost?" Yusuke wondered, Akimoto nodding. "There was definitely a second motive. I'm sure of it." Akimoto stated, about to continue before the ship began to shake.
"What is going on?!" Onari asked, sniffling as he got to his feet. Akimoto ran to one of the railings, looking at the nearest shore as Yusuke joined him, the two spotting Another Necrom blasting the ship with a dark version of the Gan Gun Catcher. Akimoto put on his Jikuu Driver, nodding to Yusuke. "Get Onari somewhere safe... They're here to bully the Another Rider!" Akimoto shouted, lunging off the ship as he transformed, tackling Necrom to the ground.
Yusuke nodded, running to Onari and grabbing his arm. "C'mon! We have to get out of here!" Yusuke shouted, running off the ship with Onari. As the two reached the shore, Another Specter floated up from the ground, smiling at them. "Let me show you how to die!" Specter roared, flying at the two as they ducked past him, running away.
"I won't allow you to follow them!" Victory shouted, diving at Specter, only to be hit out of the air by a tackle from Necrom, the two tumbling as Specter floated after the escaping Riders. Victory got to his feet, punching Necrom twice in the arm, before being thrown onto his back in pain.
Yusuke ran with Onari, heading past the graveyards they had passed when they had went to the first fight of this World. However, as this happened, Onari froze up, Yusuke running before stopping and looking back. As Yusuke stopped, he heard what Onari heard ; a faint guitar strumming along, a small tune. Onari turned to the graveyard gate he heard this sound from, going to it and grabbing the chains that kept it locked, yanking on them.
"That's my son playing! Brook! He's in here!" Onari screamed, pulling on the chains hard. Yusuke ran over, helping him to yank the chains off the door delicately and toss them to the side, pushing the gates open and racing inside of them. From the noise, the bandaged figure had stepped out of the tomb and was staring at them, specifically Onari. "Dad... ?" Brook managed, gulping before running to his father, hugging him.
Onari pulled back from his son, still keeping his hands on his shoulder. "You... You're covered in bandages... " Onari trembled, Brook smiling and nodding, gulping through tears. "Y-Yeah... They didn't give me a lot for clothes, and they just left me in the stuff they used for that fake funeral... " Brook explained, before crying and hugging his father close. Yusuke smiled, watching this, before hearing Another Specter's laughter.
"Oh look! The two dumbasses reunite! Now I get to wipe out a Kamen Rider, an Another Rider, and a prisoner that I wish was dead!" Another Specter laughed, flying forward as Yusuke put on his Driver, shaking two Full Bottles and stepping in the way, turning the crank as he inserted them. "HENSHIN!"
IN THE CENTER OF THE AREA
At the center of the town sat Daitenku Temple, now surrounded by Ganma Soldiers and Superiors. At the center, where the Ghost cast would have reconvened countless times, was where the dictator of the World was... Jered, once Kamen Rider Dark Necrom R and now Another Dark Ghost.
Jered sat on a throne, watching an old fashioned black and white TV show the fight of Victory and Another Necrom. Jered gripped a RideWatch in fury as he watched the fight, clearly enraged by seeing Another Necrom and Victory being evenly matched. "He does not even have the Ghost RideWatch... How is he better than Jey?!" Jered screamed, punching the throne in rage.
Jered stood, turning and staring at a mirror, looking down at his body. Jered wore red robes and boots, his face of red anger matching the robes as he screamed at himself in the mirror. "WE WERE REVIVED FOR A REASON, AND WE FAIL AT EVEN THAT?!" Jered screamed, before noticing a figure in the background... Another Shin.
"Moron. If Another Riders' jobs for the Black Order were to scream at mirrors, then you would be the leader of that. But your job is to execute people. And you always let them get away! We haven't had an execution in five months. No wonder you died before... Fools." Another Shin mocked, Jered's eyes turning wide as he turned to face his superior.
"S-Sir! I promise! Once we defeat Victory, things will start looking up!" Jered excused quickly, holding out his RideWatch, the monstrous face of Dark Ghost on it. Another Shin silently nodded, as Jered clicked it quickly, inserting it into his stomach as his body began to morph and change.
DARK GHOST!
Now Another Dark Ghost, with the year 2016 on the side of his head, Jered quickly fled the Daitenku Temple, headed for the battlefield. Another Shin let out a small chuckle, taking Jered's place on the throne and leaning forward, staring at the black and white TV as it cut to the graveyard.
GRAVEYARDS
Kamen Rider Vrains, in GiraBeam form, was sent flying back. Yusuke slammed through two tombstones, both shattering, before ending up on his back and groaning, detransforming from the pain and watching from the ground as Another Specter turned his attention on Onari and Brook. Onari stood up in front of his child, staring down Another Specter. "No... Not my son! Not again! I won't let him stand up to be one of his heroes and get killed! I won't allow it!" Onari screamed, holding out his Another Ghost RideWatch and clicking it, inserting it into himself as he changed.
GHOST
Another Ghost hurled themselves into Another Specter, gripping their legs to hold them still. "Brook! Please run away!" Onari shouted from inside Another Ghost, Another Specter kicking him back and stomping on his chest, Brook watching in horror before charging forward and shoving Another Specter off of his father, the bandages falling from his face to reveal a young teen boy around Yusuke's age.
"Father! Please! Don't do this!" Brook shouted, Another Ghost pushing his son back a bit as he got to his feet. As this happened, Victory landed infront of Brook and Onari, Another Necrom entering the area. Akimoto detransformed, staggering to his feet as he saw Onari protecting his son.
"You idiot... The day he died, he wasn't fighting to be like Takeru!" Akimoto shouted, Onari looking up. "If he was, you'd have been hurt more because he'd be absorbed into pretending to be his godfather! He was fighting to protect his father!' Akimoto finished, Another Ghost freezing as he looked back at Brook, whose face showed pure fear at his father risking his life for him.
"Fighting... To protect me..." Onari managed, before standing up as Another Ghost and staring at both Another Necrom and Another Specter. "Then... Like father, like son... I will fight to protect my child!" Onari roared, rushing forward as his feet floated somewhat, Another Ghost flying betwene the two Another Riders and throwing them both back.
Onari landed, Brook watching as Specter and Necrom swung at Onari. Onari then held up his hands, punching both of them back and spinning around, kicking both in the face hard. "Dad can kick ass... " Brook murmured, Yusuke smiling. "No... He can protect family. That's what Takeru Tenkuji was good at, I guess." Yusuke thought aloud, Brook nodding slowly.
Another Ghost grabbed onto Specter, flipping him over. Onari then laughed... Before a cracking noise was heard. "Foolish old man... Die in front of your own child!" Another Dark Ghost roared, a corrupted version of the Gan Gun Saber sticking through Another Ghost's chest. "DAD!" Brook screamed, as Onari turned human again, collapsing forward. The Another Ghost RideWatch cracked flew up into the air, Dark Ghost slicing it in half. "Useless..."
Brook caught his father, holding him close. "Dad! It's okay, we can get you help! We can just get Gyro out here and he'll-" Brook rambled, only to be shushed by Onari's hand over his mouth. "I'm only happy... That my son will grow up... To protect his family. Just sad... That Takeru couldn't see it happen... Or can he... " Onari murmured, staring at the sky as he reached out one hand, with the other gripping Brook's hand. Onari then settled back, his arm falling as he went limp in his son's arms, the life fading from his face.
"Dad? No no no, c'mon Dad wake up! Dad!" Brook shouted, Akimoto and Yusuke staring in shock. Brook held his father close, whimpering before letting out a scream of anguish. Akimoto staggered forward to Brook, Yusuke still too wounded to move. Akimoto put a hand on Brook's shoulder, Brook looking up at Akimoto.
"His father fought for his heart... His son... And it's unforgivable that the Black Order doesn't understand even that!" Akimoto shouted, clenching his fists as he put on his Jikuu Driver. Brook got to his feet, gripping the Eyecon in his free hand... As the Eyecon came to life, becoming a light blue with the words ' Ore Ghoul ' on top. Brook stared at the Another Riders, holding out one hand over his waist and screaming, with a Ghost Driver forming on his waist.
"Oi oi oi! Don't start without me!" Akimoto looked up, seeing Fortune flying overhead with the Ghost RideWatch. The bird dropped it, the device landing in Akimoto's hand. Akimoto then held out both of his RideWatches, turning the watch faces and clicking them in, as Brook opened up the Ghost Driver and clicked in his Eyecon, the two standing next to each other.
VICTORY! GHOST!
"Henshin!" Both shouted, with Brook dropping in the Eyecon and slamming the Ghost Driver shut, pulling the lever as Akimoto slid on both RideWatches and spun his Jikuu Driver. Mist surrounded Brook, as a gray and black undersuit formed on him with black shorts. A Parka shot out of his Driver, flying around before flying onto him, being black with blue trimming and having a single horn on the faceplate. Meanwhile for Akimoto, his base suit formed, only for the Ghost Armor to fly onto him like the Parka, with his visor reading ' Goosuto '.
KAIGAN ; GHOUL! GO GET GO GET GO GO GHOUL!
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER VIKU-TOR-Y~! ARMOR TIME! KAIGAN! GHOST~!
"Let's set sail to Victory!" Akimoto shouted, running a hand along his visor as Ghoul held out his hand, pointing at the Another Riders. "I'm going to rock your soul!" Brook shouted, the two running forward as Yusuke watched in awe. Dark Ghost was tackled by Ghoul, as Another Necrom and Another Specter were met with Victory's fists.
Ghoul rolled with Dark Ghost, standing and punching the Another Rider in the shoulder, sending it flying back. The Another Rider used it's ghostly abilities to float like a corpse, only for Ghoul to float up after him and punch him into the ground, causing Another Dark Ghost to cry out in pain.
Ghoul then landed, summoning a Gan Gun Saber and slashing Dark Ghost once, turning and slicing down his back, sending him flying forward. Ghoul floated to the side, grabbing his guitar as he looked it over. "Dad gave me this from Elvis... Let's see!" Brook murmured, making a symbol over the guitar, an Eyecon forming from it that was white with streaks of red, the title on it reading ' ELVIS '.
Ghoul stepped back, opening his Driver and removing Ore Ghoul, sliding in the new Eyecon and slamming his Ghost Driver shut, pulling the lever as his Parka dispersed into particles, a new Parka leaving his belt and flying in front of him, smacking Another Dark Ghost and knocking him onto his back, striking a pose similar to Elvis Presley, before flying back and onto Ghoul, with a new faceplate coming up that had only one horn, but also a white guitar down the middle of it.
KAIGAN ; ELVIS! STRUM THE BEAT! HELLO, BABY!
Ghoul ran forward, with the Parka currently on having guitar strings down either side. As he ran, he ran a hand over the other arm, the strings being plucked and the hand on that arm shining. As he reached Another Dark Ghost, he punched him with the glowing fist, sending him flying back against a tombstone.
Victory rolled to the side underneath the corrupted Gan Gun Catcher's swing, as he kicked Another Specter in the leg and uppercutted him. Victory then got to his feet, taking steps back as he struck a pose similar to Kamen Rider Ghost. The shoulder Eyecons shined, before sending out the Parkas of Musashi, Tutankhamen and Grimm. The Parkas swarmed the battlefield, slashing and punching the two Another Riders around.
Victory then let his arms go limp, floating forward quickly as he went past the two Another Riders, spinning around limply and hitting the two of them, knocking them back. Victory settled onto the ground, looking down at the Ghost RideWatch in his belt, remembering something...
"My Dad believed that death wasn't the end of your life, but just a new way to experience it." Ayumu said, walking with Akimoto after the Guardians were destroyed. "So your father just wants everyone to die, then?" Akimoto joked, Ayumu shoving him jokingly as Akimoto burst into laughter, with Ayumu sharing a small smile.
"No you moron! He still doesn't want people to die, but just because it happens doesn't mean it's bad. Life and death are both equally good in his eyes. You can ask him yourself!" Ayumu said, the two continuing to walk... Until they heard a sudden loud bang. Akimoto turned with Ayumu to see Kamen Rider Sin Specter crash into a building... Black Order ships filled the sky.
"Akimoto... Go find Kotaro! I'll go help Uncle Makoto!" Ayumu ordered, Akimoto nodding and running the way they were headed, with Ayumu going back to help Kamen Rider Sin Specter, summoning forth his Ghost Driver and holding out his Eyecon. Akimoto ran up the hill, knowing very well this could be the last time he saw Ayumu... And it was.
Akimoto was shaken from his flashback by Another Specter's battle cry, turning and kicking him away. Akimoto then turned, seeing Another Dark Ghost kicked next to Specter and Necrom as Ghoul switched from Elvis to Ore form. Ghoul ran up next to Victory, nodding to him. "It's time to finish this." Victory hit both RideWatch tops, with Brook pulling his lever again.
FINISH TIME! GHOST! OMEGA TIME CRUSH!
DAI KAIGAN ; ORE OMEGA DRIVE!
A Ghost symbol formed behind Victory, with the Ghoul symbol forming behind Brook. Energy flew from both symbols, going to their respective owner's feet, before fading completely into them. Victory flew upwards into the air with the Parkas boosting him as Ghoul slid across the ground with his fist dragging, snaking side to side as Necrom tried to blast him with the Gan Gun Catcher, before he lunged up and kicked all three of them into the air. Victory then dove down with his own foot, surrounded in orange energy, and kicked all three of them, going through them and landing on the ground.
Jebil, Jey and Jered landed on the ground, holding broken RideWatches. "No.. Come on! We tried so hard... I'm sorry, Black Order!" Jered cried, before the three of them faded away. Ghoul was standing, staring at them fade away. Victory stood with him, watching silently. Yusuke managed to stand, hobbling over to the two and clapping them on the back. "Nice work!"
VICTORY SAILER
The ship was taking off, with Alain and Gyro waving them off from the ground. Brook stared back from the railing, waving calmly. Akimoto stood at the rudder, with Yusuke on lookout for Another Shin. Brook then walked over to Akimoto, letting out a calm sigh. "Thank you for letting me join you." Brook thanked, Akimoto waving him off.
"I'm surprise you wanted to come with us. Shouldn't you be helping Alain and his resistance fix your World?" Akimoto wondered, Brook laughing. "He should be okay now. His powers stopped working when Another Necrom came around, so now that she's gone, he'll be okay. Besides, Yusuke told me about the ' Riders that don't exist ' stuff on our way here. I'm more needed as a member of your crew than defending one World." Brook explained, Akimoto nodding, before looking up at Fortune and his screen.
"Alright, I like it! Say, birdie! Where we headed next?" Akimoto asked, the Victory Sailer entering the time stream much to Brook's awe. "The World of Rider Wars! The World of Ryuki!" Fortune remarked, Akimoto nodding as the ship continued to fly along.
WORLD OF RYUKI
Kaijin Rider Another Verde and Another Imperer clashed as people screamed around them, the two Another Riders fighting without any care for those around them. They threw each other through shop windows, as Another Ouja and Another Scissors clashed in a restaurant, smacking each other around and hitting people in the crossfire.
In the center of town, Another Knight sliced through a table as Another Femme evaded him. Femme then dove over a stroller and landed on the other side, using it as cover as Knight prepared to bring his sword down onto it... Only to be stopped by a silver Mirror Rider's hand punching him back, having a pegasus face on his Advent Deck and resembling a Roman warrior.
The Another Riders from around the area all came to the town center, seeing him and beginning to head towards him, all holding their weapons. The Mirror Rider crouched, ready to fight, before yelling and running forward, his fist connecting with Another Knight's face while a Pegasus-like Mirror Monster threw Another Femme aside, now back to back with the Mirror Rider.
NEXT TIME ON KAMEN RIDER VICTORY!
"A Mirror Rider who likes his Advent Monster?"
It showed a man Akimoto's age playing catch with the Mirror Monster.
"He's the nicest Mirror Monster I've ever met... And we both fight for peace... Don't get in our way!"
The Mirror Rider slashed Victory and Ghoul, before Another J stood, massive in height.
"I am Kamen Rider Venture!"
