ADVENTURE 3 : THE MIRROR WAR'S VICTOR!
Flames surrounded the arena, as sand was kicked up into the air. Another Gai slammed a man into the ground, the man being shirtless with the number 1 painted on his body. Gai then turned, grabbing a second man and throwing him onto the first, the number 3 on their body. Gai finally raised a horn-like weapon on his arm, slashing a man with 2 on his body and forcing him to collapse. Another Gai held up his weapon in victory, the number 2003 on his left hip.
"And once again, Another Gai stands victorious!" An announcer cheered, Another Gai turning back into Jun. The crowds both cheered and booed him, Jun walking off stage as he noticed Another Shin waiting for him in the shadows. Jun quickly excused himself from the crowds, heading for the locker room.
Jun pushed his way inside, only to be pinned against a locker by Another Shin. "Moron... You were supposed to lose. How else are you supposed to rise in the ranks?!" Shin yelled, Jun panting in terror. "I-I'm sorry! I promise, I'll do better!" Jun stammered, Shin glaring at him silently. "You'd better. We need to find out where he is." Shin threatened, shoving Jun as he turned, walking into a bathroom stall. Jun went after him, coming up with a plan, but found that Shin was now gone.
Jun sighed, looking down at his Another Gai RideWatch. "This... This isn't the game I want." Jun murmured, leaning against a locker. His eyes showed that he was mostly sad about the whole ordeal, but his grip tightened around the Another Gai RideWatch. "No one's having fun... It's just little spouts of war." Jun continued, looking down at the device he held, and threw it up into the air... But he didn't catch it.
"Then quit." Jun turned to the voice, seeing Brook leaning against another locker. Brook wore a black shirt and jeans, with his hair now combed. Brook waved hello, as Fortune flew between them and gave him the Another Gai RideWatch. Brook nodded his thanks, looking at the RideWatch in his hand. "A rhino, huh? Odd. Thought you were a unicorn out there." Brook went on, Jun backing up to get away from him, before stopping as he bumped into someone.
"Take it easy... That guy may seem a bit unhinged, but he's a cool dude." Yusuke smiled, wearing his usual attire as he looked down at Jun. Jun stared at him in horror, before turning and running towards the door... Only for it to be kicked open by Akimoto, walking in and grabbing him by the jaw, stopping him from screaming.
"I wouldn't run out there, some angry mob fellas are hoping to beat the living shit out of you for winning." Akimoto ordered, shoving Jun back as Brook and Yusuke surrounded him, Jun looking at the three of them in complete horror. "Are... Are you with Venture?" Jun stammered, before Akimoto burst into laughter.
"Usually you people think I'm a cannibal. No. I'm Kamen Rider Victory! The greatest criminal throughout all Worl-" Akimoto began, spreading his arms... Only for Jun to interrupt him. "No you aren't. Venture is. He's broken every law on this World." Jun explained, Yusuke and Brook blinking before looking up at Akimoto.
Akimoto had completely stopped, staring blankly at Jun. Brook took the chance to look over the Another Gai RideWatch, Jun seeing this and scrambling over to him. "Don't fiddle with it! If you break it, I'm done for you moron!" Jun screamed, Brook stepping back and holding it up so he couldn't reach it, much to Jun's chagrin. "What laws did he break?" Yusuke asked, stepping forward as Jun laughed quietly.
"All of them. He hasn't become an Another Rider, has a Contract with a Mirror Monster, disrupts the public fighting, goes against the Black Order... He's a real criminal!" Jun elaborated, Akimoto snapping out of it and looking over at Brook and Yusuke, before looking down at Jun again. "So... Having a Mirror Monster Contract is illegal here?" Akimoto asked, Jun nodding quickly. "It's way to reach international peace!" Jun confirmed, Yusuke laughing quietly as Brook covered his mouth.
"Ignoring my compatriots immaturity, where does this criminal hang out mostly? You got a rogue's gallery bar or something?" Akimoto asked, Jun sitting back on his knees in thought. After seeing these guys call themselves the greatest criminals, he wasn't that scared anymore since they had no idea of the true criminal!
"Hm... He usually hangs out at the park just outside of town. We are allowed to talk to him until the Black Order sends in Hoppers. Then we gotta watch him run away from them, quite funny seeing those bug guys getting squashed by his Mirror Monster... Makes me miss Metalgelas a bit... " Jun lamented, looking off in thought. He then heard a thud as he looked down, his Another Gai RideWatch there.
"Thanks for the help, Gai. We'll be going now." Akimoto thanked, heading for the back door to the locker room with Brook and Yusuke. However,,, Jun stopped them by calling out, "Wait!". Akimoto paused, turning as Jun stood, holding his Another Gai RideWatch. "I... I can't help you, but... I know you freed Build's World and Ghost's World! Does that mean... You'll free ours?!" Jun asked quickly, Akimoto smiling and nodding.
"Then... If you do... Make sure we can have our Contract Monsters! Please... I never thought I'd miss Metalgelas, but now... This power doesn't feel like it means anything to me!" Jun requested, bowing his head as Akimoto smiled, nodding. "Okay. When the new people take over... You'll get Metalgelas back." Akimoto confirmed, Jun raising his head and smiling in thanks. Then... The three were gone, leaving Jun alone.
THE PARK
Akimoto walked here, Brook with him. "It was a good idea sending Yusuke back to the ship to check with Fortune. We'll need to know if Another Shin or any other Black Order stooges followed us. After what happened in the World of Build, I can't be too sure." Akimoto explained, Brook nodding as they reached the gate to the park. It hung off it's hinges, rusty and damaged.
Brook pushed it a small bit, and it completely fell down, hitting the ground heavily, Akimoto stepping past it and continuing into the park with Brook following quickly behind him. As they walked, they noticed that all trees in the park were flourishing a bit too much, as the foliage had overgrown the branches and spread onto the fence and the park equipment, which was also rusty and old.
Brook whistled to himself as they walked, holding his Ore Ghoul Eyecon in one hand and keeping the other hand in his pocket. Akimoto had two RideWatches in his hand, but had both hands behind his back as he walked, looking around for a person around here that could be Venture. However, both stopped as they heard a voice laughing.
"You're silly, toss it back!" A man spoke, Brook and Akimoto racing to a tree and peeking past it. They spotted a man Akimoto's age wearing a flannel jacket and jeans, holding out his hands to catch something. He had a smile on his face, and was overjoyed about something. They peeked farther, and saw a pegasus-like monster carrying a tennis ball to him, putting it in his hands and backing away like a happy dog.
"Now... Catch!" The man shouted, tossing the tennis ball into the air as the pegasus monster lunged for it, this time catching it and rolling as he landed, turning with the ball in his hands. The man clapped, overjoyed. "Yes! Good job Pegature!" The man congratulated, Brook and Akimoto looking at each other before beginning their approach. "Sir?" Akimoto started, the man turning quickly as Pegature dropped the ball.
"Who are you?!" The man asked quickly, reaching into his pocket as Pegature growled. "I'm Akimoto Akira. This is Brook Tsurugi. We are friends that also oppose the Black Order." Akimoto spoke calmly, approaching with his hands in front of him. Brook nodded, the man staring at the two with skepticism all over his face.
"Victory. I've heard of you. Didn't think he really existed, but hey. I've been wrong before. But listen... This guy's a good guy. Nicest Mirror Monster I've ever met... And we both fight for peace... Don't get in our way!" The man shouted, taking out a silver Advent Deck with a horse's head on it. He then also took out his phone, holding both out in front of him as he put the deck over his phone screen's reflection, an empty belt forming on his waist as he held out the Advent Deck. "Oh come on... " Akimoto started, as both Brook and himself put on their Drivers, putting in their Eyecon and RideWatch respectively.
"Henshin!" All three shouted in unison, Brook and Akimoto transforming into Ghoul, while the man slid in his Advent Deck, thrusting out both fists as a mirror-like effect reflected silver armor onto him, being very much horse-like while having the feel of a Roman warrior. "I am Kamen Rider Venture!" The man announced, taking a card from his Advent Deck and raising a lance weapon, inserting the Advent Card as the jingles from all three of them rang out.
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER VIKU-TOR-Y~!
KAIGAN ; GHOUL! GO GET GO GET GO GO GHOUL!
SHIELD VENT!
A shield resembling the back of Pegature formed in Venture's hand, as he charged at the two Riders with his Mirror Monster in tow. The two other Riders charged, Victory gripping his own weapon as it was summoned, with the weapon summoning having it's own jingle, the same going for Ghoul's weapon.
VICTOCRUSHER!
GAN GUN SABER!
Victory clashed with Venture, Victory being slashed quickly by Venture's lance. Victory stepped back, swinging his own weapon, only for it to be blocked by the shield. Venture used the shield to shove the weapon of Victory's to the side, the pirate losing his grip as Venture sliced downwards on his body repeatedly, forcing the pirate to back up and roll away. Victory ended up on his stomach, struggling to stand. "A Mirror Rider... Who likes his Mirror Monster?" Victory groaned, watching as Ghoul kicked Pegature against a tree.
Seconds later, Ghoul turned to be slashed across the visor by Venture. Ghoul stumbled to the side, before being slashed a couple more times, being forced away from the Mirror Monster as Ghoul fell to one knee by Victory, panting. "This guy fights like crazy... And he says he fights for peace?!" Ghoul managed, Victory getting to his feet and staring at the Mirror Rider.
Venture stared back, standing in front of Pegature as Victory stood in front of Ghoul. "You fight... Just like-" Victory began, only for the ground around them to suddenly shake violently. The two opposing sides stumbled around, before looking to see a large figure emerging from out of nowhere, standing as tall as a skyscraper.
Another J stared down at them, the number 1994 plastered on his foot. "Another J... Shit!" Victory shouted, as Victory and Ghoul jumped to the side, the Another Rider's foot barely missing them, raising to try again. Venture smirked, backing off as he tapped Pegature's shoulder. "Let's go." Venture ordered, turning and beginning to walk away... Only to be stopped.
Venture turned, Pegature staring at him silently. Venture looked back, confused, as Pegature held out a broken piece of glass to him... One that was very familiar to Venture, as he thought back to their home, where Pegature and himself lived peacefully. In the background, Another J raised his fist to punch the ground where Victory and Ghoul had stopped, looking for where to dodge to next.
"The mirror piece... Why... " Venture began, looking up at Pegature... Only to see his long time friend flying at the Another Rider, monstrous wings emerging from Pegature's back. "PEGATURE! WAIT!" Venture screamed, chasing after the Mirror Monster. The Monster flew towards the fist as it neared Victory and Ghoul, managing to stop it right before it connected to the ground and the two Riders.
Victory looked up at the Mirror Monster, Pegature's back holding up the fist as it looked down at Victory. The two locked eyes, Victory gasping as he realized what it was doing. "... Forgive me, Venture... But this is what he wants." Victory murmured, activating his finisher and spinning the Jikuu Driver.
FINISH TIME! TIME CRUSH!
Venture stopped running as he saw Victory jump up at Pegature and the fist, his foot shining. "NO! PEGATURE!" Venture screamed, running forward with his hand outstretched... As Victory's foot connected with Pegature and went through, hitting Another J's fist and sending the Another Rider reeling back, their massive weight making them stumble. Both exploded, as Venture's armor turned a dark gray.
Victory landed, taking the chance to grab Ghoul under the arm. "We need to go!" Victory shouted, Ghoul nodding as Venture stared after them. The two ran off through the park, Venture watching silently before scooping up his lance and shield. "Bastards... BASTARDS!" Venture screamed, racing after them, full of rage.
ORE JOURNAL
Hopper soldiers stood outside with the red fire rifles, protecting the building. After the Black Order had taken over, this place had become the center of their government in the World of Ryuki. The building was now ran by Kaijin Rider Another Ryuki, who was in a meeting with three other Another Riders.
"Now... If you and Another Scissors fight again, I will have to ban the both of you from engaging in conflict!" Ryuki shouted, slamming their hands on the table as they stood up, staring down at Another Ouja. Ryuki was bright red, a dragon-like Another Rider, with the year 2003 on his right hip. A piece of cloth covered the top right of his torso, hooked around his neck. The snake-rider monster merely let out a hissing laugh, standing and stretching his neck. "You aren't very vexing... Just a little imp that got power." Ouja commented, the two other Another Riders in the room (Verde and Imperer) laughing at this.
Ryuki turned to them, backhanding Verde and giving a glare to Imperer. "Must I show my strength to you?! Must I?!" Ryuki screamed, Verde and Imperer falling silent. However... a new voice joined in. "Yes... I'd like to see it... "
Ryuki and the others turned, Jun standing in the door way. Another Ryuki walked over to the human, staring into his eyes. "Rhino boy needs to go back to the arena and try to throw a match correctly before I'll face him! Ha!" Ryuki roared, Jun closing his eyes as he shouted, "So is it because Venture can't throw a match that you refuse to go after him?!". Ryuki's laughter fell quiet, as he got closer to Jun.
"If you want a fight... We can fight." Ryuki threatened, Jun nodding nervously. Ryuki then grabbed him by the shirt, dragging him out of the meeting room and through the exit doors, going outside of ORE Journal and throwing him onto the pavement with the Hoppers watching. "Change. NOW!" Ryuki shouted, Jun nodding again as he stood, holding out the Another Gai RideWatch and clicking it, inserting it into himself and stepping back, his body morphing and changing.
GAI
Another Gai stared down Another Ryuki, the two silent now. Verde and Imperer walked out, watching them in bewilderment. "Why the hell does Jun suddenly want to fight the boss? He's always been happy with just winning before." Imperer wondered, Verde shrugging. "I don't know, but Ryuki seems more unhinged than usual." Verde commented, Imperer nodding. The two Another Riders charged, clashing with each other.
VICTORY SAILER
"You got this Venture guy's Mirror Monster killed?!" Yusuke shouted, Akimoto nodding as Brook helped wrap up one of his wounds, with Brook having bandages on him as well. The two had arrived a few minutes prior, and had begun filling in their bottle-using friend. "Yeah... But the Mirror Monster wanted it." Akimoto reassured, Brook looking over at Yusuke, who looked back at him.
"What do you mean... They looked really happy with each other." Brook remembered, Akimoto shaking his head. "When you travel around with someone for so long, you can see when they need something... He saw that Venture needed this." Akimoto reaffirmed, Brook nodding slowly as Yusuke looked down at the floor.
"What did Venture need?" Yusuke asked, Akimoto falling silent. Brook then thought back to the fight, before raising his head and pointing a finger. "When he fought, he was defending Pegature as if he was his only friend! Maybe Pegature wanted him to value other lives? The guy did mention fighting for peace... But what if he didn't mean the peace everyone else wants?" Brook pondered aloud, Akimoto nodding. "He wanted the peace of Pegature being safe. He didn't care about anyone else... "
Unbeknownst to them, Kamen Rider Venture stood by the ship's outer hull, leaning against it as he listened. Venture's eyes widened in his armor, dropping both the shield and the lance as he thought back to Pegature flying in the way of the fist, and Victory's Rider Kick. "Pega... You... " He started, before choking up and putting a hand to his helmet, turning and running off as Akimoto peeked over the railing to find no one. "Thought I heard something... "
Running away, Venture detransformed and now openly sobbed into his hand as he ran. His eyes closed as he ran, shoving through anyone that got in his way roughly. He thought back to the past moments in his life that mattered most to him...
"You... You're a peaceful one, aren't you?" A younger version of Venture walked forward. A much smaller Pegature stared at him through a mirror, a blank Advent Deck sitting on the counter in front of the mirror. He picked it up, taking out the Contract Card and looking it over, before looking up at Pegature.
"If I use this... You'll be with me, right? That's what happened in Tojo's stories... " Venture remembered, Pegature leaving the mirror and waddling to the edge of the counter, Venture standing still as he stared into Pegature's eyes. Pegature then booped his noise with their own, making Venture laugh warmly.
Later, a teenage Venture punched Another Scissors in the jaw, making the monster Rider stumble as he held out his Advent Deck, now contracted. "Let's fight together... Pegature!" He shouted, looking into a puddle in the alleyway as his buckle formed. He inserted the Advent Deck, his suit forming with his lance in hand. Venture removed the Advent Card, quickly inserting it into his lance.
ADVENT!
Venture and Pegature both punched Another Scissors at once, the two beating on the Black Order officer as a group of poor-looking people sat behind them, being protected by the two. "Mommy... He has a Mirror Monster! He's like a Kamen Rider from your stories!" One of them, a child, cheered. Venture turned, smiling inside of his helmet as Pegature put his head out like a dog, Venture patting it happily.
"Why can't I go in there, buddy?" Venture asked as Pegature removed a mirror shard from a mirror, thus making it incomplete. Pegature simply shook their head silently, nudging Venture away from the mirror as the human shrugged, going along with it quietly.
Venture shook his head, stopping as he reached an old-looking home with the name 'Hanshakara Yuuto' on the sign out front. He pushed his way inside quickly, throwing off his shoes as he ran into the kitchen of the home, running past walls with cracks all over them. In the kitchen, among old and badly-repaired cooking equipment, was a man in very normal clothing, but had a tiger-like claw design on the back of his shirt.
"Hanshakara... What's wrong?" The man turned, revealing himself to be Satoru Tojo. Venture, A.K.A Hanshakara Yuuto, ran into his arms quickly, hugging the man. Hanshakara considered Satoru his father, and the two had a familial connection. He stepped back, sobbing slightly. "Pega... Pega is... " Hanshakara tried, only for Satoru's eyes to widen and hug him again. "It'll be okay... " Satoru reassured, looking at something in the background.
"What happened?" Satoru asked, Hanshakara taking a deep breath, before beginning. "I was playing catch with him... Until these two guys showed up... One of them was a watch guy and the other looked like some kinda ghost! I tried to fight them, but... Then some large Another Rider showed up! It started attacking them, but we tried to run away! Pegature... Went back. He held the fist of that thing from hitting them... And held it long enough for the watch guy to kick through him... " Hanshakara finished, holding his eyes as Satoru nodded.
"I'm so sorry... Pegature was a good friend... " Satoru comforted, Hanshakara nodding slowly as he looked down at the mirror shard Hanshakara had been given by Pegature, stumbling away from his mentor quietly. Satoru took this opportunity to grab something from a cabinet that he had seen over Hanshakara's shoulder... The Ryuki RideWatch.
Hanshakara pushed his way into one of the rooms, the old door opening awkwardly. Against one wall was a mirror... Missing a shard. He looked down at the counter, where crayons sat, covered in dust. This was the room where he had first met Pegature... And the room where Pegature had forbid him from touching mirror, as Hanshakara held up the shard as he remembered Akimoto's words.
"I only wanted peace for Pegature and me... I fought so hard for one person... " Hanshakara murmured, before sliding in the mirror shard and completing the mirror. He looked into the mirror now, being taken aback by what he saw on the other side... He put his nose up to the mirror silently.
ELSEWHERE
Kamen Rider Victory Ghost Armor landed in a quarry, followed by Vrains in his Bat-Boomerang form and Ghoul in his Elvis Damashii. The three landed together as Another Ryuki, Another Knight and Another Ouja stalked towards them, with the first of the three laughing maniacally and clapping their hands together.
"Feels so good to catch the infamous pirate Victory on his ship unawares! Now, how should we end his life?!" Ryuki turned, asking to his compatriots. Knight looked away, silent, but Ouja stepped forward with a dark chuckle, much to Another Ryuki's monstrous glee. Yusuke looked up, staring at the three.
"I saw we feed them to some rogue Mirror Monsters!" Ouja laughed, Victory struggling to his feet and staring the three down as Ryuki laughed, nodding. "Yes yes! That sounds just too perfect to miss out on! Now, Ren, what do you think about it? Wanna watch these three be devoured by dark creatures?!" Ryuki inquired, Knight simply turning and staring at him.
"You... You are not Shinji... This isn't right!" Knight roared, stepping away from the two. Ryuki growled, crossing his arms as the rest of the Another Riders arrived, except for Gai. "Don't turn on me now, Ren... I mean, come on! We've been friends for so long!" Ryuki roared, adjusting the cloth nervously. Knight noticed this, as did Imperer and Verde. The two stepped forward with Knight, staring at Another Ryuki silently. Victory looked at them, confused at first, before realizing what was happening.
"The way you killed Jun... It wasn't Shinji at all!" Imperer shouted, as he remembered the fight. Verde nodded in agreement, Knight raising his lance weapon. Other Another Riders looked away, or looked at their weapons, as they thought back to it aswell...
"DIE!" Another Ryuki screamed, as he kicked Another Gai against a light pole. Gai screamed in pain, looking over to see a mirror set out of a makeup shop. He looked down at his hand, before reaching out for it. "Metal... Gelas... " Gai whimpered, before being kicked in the ribs by Another Ryuki.
"Mirror Monsters are BANNED! Or are you trying to break another law, next to confronting the leader of this Black Order World!" Ryuki mocked, walking away as Imperer and Verde watched in horror. Ryuki then turned, a dragon-like knuckle on, as he shot a stream of flames at Another Gai, who held up his hands... But the hit never came.
Gai looked up, seeing... Metalgelas standing over him as a shield, tanking the flames with no problem. "Metalgelas... You came for me... " Gai murmured, struggling to his feet as Metalgelas smacked the flames aside. The Mirror Monster then turned to Gai, nodding with no more than a happy grunt.
"Mirror Monsters... I used them as pieces in a game before... I'm so sorry, Metalgelas... Now... Let's work together again... Please?" Gai apologized, the rhino Mirror Monster nodding happily as both turned to Another Ryuki, who now held a demonic version of the Drag-Saber. "YOU ARE BREAKING THE LAW BY WORKING WITH THAT MONSTER!" Ryuki roared.
"Shut up! This World has forgotten what it means to have allies... A war is not something ruled by one side, nor played by a game master! A war... A war is something that can only be won with your friends!" Gai roared, Metalgelas roaring wordlessly as they both charged at Another Ryuki, who ran at them aswell.
"Jun may have been an idiot... But he was right about fighting a war with your friends!" Imperer shouted, the other Another Riders nodding (excluding Another Ouja) as Another Ryuki stared at them all. "That's why... It's time to bring back our friends!" Another Knight shouted, as he nodded to Imperer and Verde. The three reached behind them, before turning and slammed down suitcases, one for each of them. They each opened them, unfolding something and then setting it down in a larger form... Three human-sized, foldable mirrors.
"YOU BASTARDS!" Another Ouja shouted, as Mirror Monsters charged out of the mirrors, Another Riders lunging down and corralling them, even reuniting with some of them. Volcancer met with Another Scissors, who scratched his face. "Still have some bite marks... Old friend." Scissors laughed, as Knight turned and saw Darkwing floating next to him, nodding with no words, as the army turned to face Ryuki and Ouja.
"Fools... I'm not Shinji Kido... This worked fantastic! Getting you all to hate the one man not responsible!" Another Ryuki shouted, throwing off the cloth as his armor's red slowly turned to black... The name Ryuga sat on his body where the cloth had covered, much to the shock of the Another Riders. "There was never an Another Ryuki... I am ANOTHER RYUGA!" Ryuga laughed, turning to Another Ouja.
The Another Rider laughed, nodding. "I knew the whole time... But I stuck around because he said the most vexing thing ever, and I wanted to see where it went!" Ouja laughed, holding out a monstrous card. Ryuga took it, the word ' UNITE ' written on it in monstrous font.
"I told you I would unite everyone's power... But now, that sentence works even better! YOU FOOLS HAVE GIVEN ME MORE POWER!" Ryuga cackled, inserting the card into his dragon knuckle, pushing the cover over it with a cackle, ropes of energy surging from it and connecting to each Another Rider and each Mirror Monster.
UNITE
The Another Riders and Mirror Monsters all cried out as they were sucked into Another Ryuga, whose body absorbed them. Ryuga held his chest as it pulsed rapidly, before his body suddenly changed to an amalgamation of the Mirror Riders, all but Tiger, Gai, Odin and Ryuki. "Ha! I have become... A GOD!" Ryuga screamed, sending out an energy wave at the three Riders. The wave collided, detransforming the three and forcing them to the ground.
"Dammit... We don't have the Ryuki RideWatch to beat him... " Brook grunted, Akimoto and Yusuke nodding painfully. The monster raised it's hand to send another attack at them, stopping and letting out a demonic laugh as it saw them in pain before it.
"This is true peace... One force standing over all others as a singular, invulnerable power! The Black Order should watch out... I'm coming to show my power to you!" Ryuga laughed, walking forward with the energy of the attack growing in it's hand. However, he was suddenly kicked in the chest, being knocked back with the energy remaining focused.
"Venture!" Brook gasped, as Hanshakara stood in front of the three, facing Another Ryuga. Hanshakara was silent, Akimoto staring at the man before climbing to his feet slowly. Hanshakara turned to face him as he heard Akimoto get to his feet, the two staring at each other, before Akimoto stood.
"I'm sorry about what happened to your Mirror Monster... I know you two were close." Akimoto apologized, Hanshakara lowering his head before smiling up at him, tears brimming in his eyes. "Yes. But at the same time... He helped you out. And that has to mean something... So if he saw something in the peace you three can reach... I'll fight with you too." Hanshakara finished, smiling at them. Brook and Yusuke grinned aswell, standing as Hanshakara held out the Ryuki RideWatch. "A gift from Satoru Tojo." Hanshakara explained, Akimoto taking it and stepping forward, Hanshakara taking out a mirror on his phone as the four stared down Another Ryuga.
"You fools... War is useless against a god like me! Just accept my peace and die!" Ryuga mocked, the energy in his hand shining and growing once more. "You fool... Pure peace is not the answer to life! It is human nature to wage war and fight... That is what allows us to fight for what we believe in, and for our friends!" Akimoto shouted, the three nodding with him as Yusuke held out his Bottles, Brook taking out the Ore Ghoul Eyecon. Akimoto held out both the Victory RideWatch and the Ryuki RideWatch.
Hanshakara looked down at the Advent Deck in his hand... Which had now regained color. "Heh... Didn't know Pegature was a girl." Hanshakara commented, flashing back to him putting the mirror shard in and seeing a small Pegature staring back at him. His V-Buckle formed on him, with the four inserting their gimmicks and striking their poses.
"HENSHIN!" The four shouted at once, Akimoto spinning his Jikuu Driver as Yusuke pulled the crank. Brook pulled the lever on the Ghost Driver, with Hanshakara inserting his Advent Deck. Another Ryuga sent out the energy towards them with a roar, the explosion shaking the quarry.
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER VIKU-TOR-Y! ARMOR TIME! ADVENT! RYUKI~!
MOLE! DRILL! BEST MATCH! ARE YOU READY? THE SPINNING DIGGER! MOLEDRILL! YEAH!
KAIGAN ; GHOUL! GO GET GO GET GO GO GHOUL!
The armor reflected onto Hanshakara, as the Ore Ghoul Parka drifted onto Brook. Yusuke held out his arms as the Armor Halves slammed into him, with Kamen Rider Victory letting the Ryuki Armor reflect onto him, the visor reading 'Ryuuki '. The smoke cleared, the four Riders standing together with smoke drifting off them.
"The War you forced this World into... We'll finish it!" Hanshakara shouted, the four running forward. Another Ryuga screamed, Magnugiga's cannons forming on his arm and firing at them, while Blancwing-like projectiles fired out at them. Hanshakara threw a card into his lance as they charged, Yusuke sprinting ahead of the others to join him.
SHIELD VENT!
Hanshakara held out his shield, shielding them from the shots as Yusuke slashed any of the Blancwing projectiles that neared them. "Oi! Ghoul!" Hanshakara shouted, tossing the Shield Vent over his shoulder. Brook quickly caught it, using it to bat aside some of the cannon's projectiles. Ryuga's eyes widened as Venture slid another card into his lance, noticing Victory on the other side of Yusuke and Ghoul in comparison to Venture.
SHOOT VENT!
Victory aimed the VictoCrusher in Sunaippa Mode, as Venture held up two magnums that looked similar to Pegature's wings. The two opened fire, forcing Another Ryuga to back away. Ghoul tossed aside the shield, as both the Riders regrouped with Hanshakara and Akimoto. "He's much stronger than the other Another Riders we've faced... Which means we need to weaken him." Yusuke commented, Akimoto nodding.
Evildiver formed on Another Ryuga's back as he soared forward, the four Riders ducking to the sides as he soared past. The monster landed, turning just in time to block kicks from Ghoul and Victory. The Another Rider pushed their feet aside, with Venture and Vrains following through with punches to Another Ryuga's chest, knocking the villain back a few steps. Ghoul and Victory recovered from the ground, both executing a spin kick on him before regrouping. Victory held out his hand, cards soaring out and landing in Venture's hand. "Try that!" Victory shouted, Venture nodding as he slid one of them into his lance.
FREEZE VENT!
Another Ryuga took a step forward, only to suddenly stop moving entirely. "B-But that is a card of Satoru Tojo... " Another Ryuga whispered, as Venture slid in another one of the cards, Ghoul and Vrains watching as they muttered something to each other.
ACCELE VENT!
Venture suddenly shot past Victory, moving extremely fast as he slashed the frozen Ryuga multiple times, before stopping and kicking him out of the freeze and into the air. Victory held out his hands, flames shooting from them and dousing the villain in fire. Another Ryuga fell, his body sparking.
"Impossible... A God cannot be beaten! IMPOSSIBLE!" Ryuga screamed, standing as Venture held out a new Card, sliding it into his lance. Victory hit both RideWatch tops, spinning his Jikuu Driver. Ghoul pulled his lever as Vrains turned the crank again, the four facing down with Another Ryuga.
FINAL VENT!
FINISH TIME! RYUKI! FINAL TIME CRUSH!
READY, GO! VORTEX FINISH!
DAI KAIGAN ; ORE OMEGA DRIVE!
"This is the day... This War finally ends!" Venture shouted, Vrains digging into the ground as Ghoul began sliding across the ground. Victory hurled himself upwards, Venture crouching as his lance shined brightly. Vrains and Ghoul both shot up into Ryuga, the former coming from underground, as they kicked Ryuga into the sky. Victory then shot downwards with his foot out, flames forming behind him and boosting him, as Venture ran forward with his lance.
Victory collided with Ryuga first, kicking him downwards and sticking with him, the kick hitting him still as he got to Venture's level. Venture then slashed him with Pegature's wings forming behind him. The four finishers were enough, Ryuga being thrown backwards as he exploded. Mirror Monsters and bodies were sent flying, all landing around the area.
Shinji Kido's dark counterpart stood where Ryuga had been, surrounded by broken Another RideWatches. He reached out to Venture, only to suddenly explode into black particles that floated away. The four Riders stood together, panting. The people that had been Another Riders all got to their feet, looking over at the Riders, before suddenly cheering.
LATER
Hanshakara was walking aboard the Victory Sailer, holding a duffel bag over one shoulder. Behind him, Brook boarded with a cardboard box of his own. Akimoto stood at the rudder, with Yusuke asking him questions. "So... What is the future even like, really?" Yusuke asked.
"Well, there are two timelines of the future. One I can't access that involves two big Kamen Rider fans going around to the past and fighting alongside Kamen Riders in our world. And then this one, that's been tainted because of the Black Order. That's why we're fixing it, remember?" Akimoto explained, Yusuke nodding.
Hanshakara turned back to look at the Satoru Tojo, who stood at the bottom of the plank. "You be a good kid now, Hans. Be a hero, would ya?" Satoru grinned, Hanshakara nodding and waving goodbye to Satoru. The ship took off, flying towards the sky as Hanshakara saw the rest of the people who had been Another Riders going to mirrors with cards, holding them out.
"War is always needed, it seems... " Hans commented with a grin, before turning to the others. Brook sat by the edge, looking through a telescope, as Yusuke looked at Fortune's panel. Fortune hovered away from them, fluttering nervously, as Hanshakara walked over to it. "What's wrong, birdie?" Hans asked, the bird turning and shouting.
"I'VE BEEN DOING CALCULATIONS AND THE NEXT FEW WORLDS AREN'T GOOD! LIKE, YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" Fortune began, only to be cut off as Yusuke shouted to Akimoto. "Next World is somewhere called Hibiki! Description says... Oni are segregated from humanity for being too pure?" Yusuke recited, Akimoto nodding. The Victory Sailer shot off into a portal, going to the time stream as Hanshakara stared around in awe. He then held out a small shard of glass from his pocket, the reflection shining.
Next to him on the deck was now the baby Pegature, flying around Hanshakara in awe of the view. "Heh... Whatever that birdie means, we're ready for it. I'm sure of it!" Hanshakara thought aloud, Brook and Yusuke looking over and nodding. Akimoto then held up his thumb, grinning ear to ear as the ship shot off further into the time stream.
WORLD OF HIBIKI
A group of Hoppers blasted through Kappa Yokai, burning through the trees around them at the same time. The Hoppers moved without any sign of giving a damn, the fire from their guns hurting both the monsters and the environment around the creatures. Soon, the air was filled to the brim with smoke and the screams of the Kappa.
On a nearby mountain top, a single young man stood on rocks. Listening to the cries, his face contorted into one of aggravation and pain. He then opened his eyes, stepping down from the rocks as he took out a tuning fork. The man hit it against his head, with Oni markings forming on his face.
?
Another Shin stood over a workshop table, looking down at something. He then let out a small chuckle, turning to face a strange robotic monster. The monster looked similar to Kasshin, but was more rounded and held two gun-like weapons.
"Emissary of F-Kaiser... His tool of destruction is nearly complete. Soon, he can tackle the pirates head on." Another Shin commented. The robot merely nodded, turning and leaving the room silently. Shin followed... As a half-finished golden BeyonDriver sat on the table, with three blank MiRideWatches with it.
NEXT TIME ON KAMEN RIDER VICTORY!
"Can't you feel that beat?"
A new Oni Rider slammed two Ongeki into a Kappa Yokai.
"We've been here before... Oni are not welcome here!"
People threw trash at the Oni and at Victory, before showing a massive crab monster with Another Hibiki on it.
"I'm sorry, but... This hurts more than anything else!"
