ADVENTURE 5 : THE VICTOR'S GAME OVER!

"AH!" Victory screamed, as he was thrown through a store window. He was followed by Kamen Rider Loki, who rolled to one knee as he landed in the store with Victory, stooping to help him up quickly. Outside, Venture and Vrains could be seen fighting off strange figures with their base forms, but they too were being overwhelmed very quickly. Victory stared at this, trying to stand, only for Sieg to help him up and push him towards the back of the store.

"We need to go. We can't fight those things... " Sieg murmured, looking around the store was they struggled towards the back of the building. As they went, they could hear explosions shaking the area behind them, with Victory turning his head to see Venture being hit in the face, falling to their knees as Vrains turned, slashing the figure that had hit him, only to suddenly be punched in the back, falling down.

Victory and Loki burst into an alleyway, leaning against the walls of it as Loki slammed the door shut behind them, panting hard. Loki slid to the ground, as Victory barely managed to hold himself up. "Where... Where's Brook?" Victory managed, with Loki looking up. The Oni only shook their head, Akimoto's eyes closing in his helmet as he turned, pounding on the wall quietly, tears beginning to well in his eyes.

EARLIER

The Victory Sailer left the Time Portal, entering the skies of the World of Ex-Aid. As the crew looked down at the World, they saw the Another Ride-Players waiting for them, staring up at the ship. As Hanshakara opened his mouth to speak, the ship was suddenly hit by a large object, with the five turning to see Another Lazer climbing aboard, their body smoking as they held out a corrupted Gashacon Sparrow, firing it at the pirates.

Akimoto ducked to the side, as Brook joined him. Yusuke and Hanshakara were tackled by two Another Ride-Players that had joined the monster, Sieg joining Akimoto and Brook as their two compatriots continued to fight off the Ride-Players without their suits, kicking and punching them. Akimoto put on his Jikuu Driver, as Brook formed his Ghost Driver. Sieg also held out his wrist, the Henshin Kigen there.

"HENSHIN!" Akimoto shouted with Brook, Sieg nodding silently as he plucked his brace... Only for the transformation to be interrupted as Another Lazer was suddenly in front of them, kicking them away from each other. Brook flew into the rudder, hitting his head against it and slumping over. Sieg and Akimoto flew onto the plank, which creaked before opening... Letting the two hang out over the drop.

The two panted, struggling to climb back on, as they saw Kamen Rider Venture and Kamen Rider Vrains charge at Another Lazer, who jumped up and spin-kicked the two against the railing, aiming his Gashacon Sparrow at the rudder where they had last seen Brook and firing, Sieg crying out in anguish at the thought of Brook being hit.

"I have a dumb idea! Hold onto me!" Akimoto shouted, as he inserted his Victory RideWatch and the Ghost RideWatch, spinning the Jikuu Driver as Sieg nodded, plucking his Henshin Kigen oncemore. As the lightning struck Sieg, the sun dial formed and burnt the Kamen Rider Victory suit over Akimoto, the Ghost Armor Parka sinking onto him as he let go of the plank, floating free with one hand holding onto Loki, as the two descended.

NOW

Akimoto staggered out of the alleyway, looking up at the sky. The Victory Sailer was still there, but now had Another Ride-Players crawling all over it. Sieg followed him, the two having detransformed to try and blend in better. The two stared up at the ship in silence, before looking down at the city around them. Another Ride-Players marched all over, all headed to where they had last seen Venture and Vrains.

"We should go to help them!" Sieg suggested, stepping out of the alleyway with his Henshin Kigen on. Akimoto saw this, grabbing his arm and immediately yanking him back into the alleyway, shaking his head quickly as the young man tried to struggle, staring at Akimoto. "But-" Sieg began, only to stop talking as Akimoto hushed him, raising one finger as he spoke in a hushed tone to avoid being caught.

"If we go out there, we could be screwing them over. If they are already caught, then it's game over. We get caught, we're DONE FOR!" Akimoto whispered harshly, Sieg staring with wide eyes at Akimoto's sudden change in personality. "Akimoto... " Sieg murmured, as Akimoto backed away from him and looked up at the Victory Sailer again, clenching his fists. He then took off his Jikuu Driver, putting it in his jacket.

Sieg took this as a sign to do the same, taking off his Henshin Kigen and putting it into one of his pants pockets. Akimoto saw this, nodding silently as the two stepped out into the streets. Another Ride-Players that were in the streets turned, staring at them, before going back to what they were doing, ignoring them as if they were merely comrades who had taken a time out break in a game.

The pair then continued to walk through the streets, silent. A somber mood had overtaken them, as Sieg watched Akimoto apprehensively. Akimoto was looking around with a sort of sad familiarity, gripping the Victory RideWatch in a hand that he hid in his jacket. Sieg then noticed what was on his leader's face, something that had never been there before... Fear.

"Akimoto... Have you been here before?" Sieg asked quietly, Akimoto nodding slowly. "Yes... When I first started adventuring... I waged war on the Black Order here. We've been here before, and failed! But... I have the Ex-Aid RideWatch." Akimoto explained, taking out the broken RideWatch. "Wait... It's broken... " Sieg murmured.

"Yeah... It broke when I tried fighting the Black Order agents... That's why I ran from this World. There's no way to fix it, and I lost a lot on my way out of here." Akimoto continued, as Sieg raised an eyebrow in curiousity. "Like what?" Sieg asked, Akimoto sighing. "Hm... Eyecons, Bottles... Just stuff my brother gathered from his travels." Akimoto listed off, Sieg nodding.

"I didn't know you had a brother." Sieg mentioned, Akimoto brightening up somewhat. "Yeah... I don't talk about him often. He was a good guy, but it just became uncomfortable to bring him up after... " Akimoto trailed off, noticing something. Sieg stopped aswell, curiously following his gaze. Akimoto was staring at a girl on a rooftop, who stared back, before smiling shyly.

ELSEWHERE

Yusuke's eyes opened, looking around wildly. He felt an intense pain in his ribcage, but also knew that wherever he was, he couldn't move very much. Yusuke was in a tight pod that kept him lying back, reminiscent of the tube he had gone into to gain a Hazard Level. He looked through the glass, seeing a man staring down at him.

"He is awake. The tests are complete." The man spoke, sounding suave yet in complete control. The man then backed away from the test tube, as the glass opened, letting open air reach Yusuke. He then took a deep breath, throwing himself out of the test tube and landing on the floor, falling to one knee as he spat out water, Yusuke wondering if they had been drowning him.

"It is good to see you are awake, Vrains." The man commented, turning his back to Yusuke. As Yusuke looked up at the man, he would see the Black Order symbol on the back of his jacket, the man unmoving. Yusuke's eyes then widened as he saw Hanshakara tied to a chair. Yusuke then stood, swinging at the man from behind.

"BASTARD!" Yusuke shouted, only for the man to turn and punch him in the stomach, Yusuke having the wind knocked out of him as he staggered forward. The man then turned, jumping and kicking Yusuke in the back, knocking him to the ground hard. Yusuke stood, groaning in pain as he noticed that he didn't feel as strong as he usually did. "What... The... "

"It was something necessary to weaken a member of our only opposition. I'm sorry." The man continued, walking to Hanshakara's chair and looking at the sleeping man's face, leaving Yusuke as he realized what the tube had done to him. "You... No way... That's impossible!" Yusuke shouted, turning and glaring at the man. The man simply scoffed, shrugging and turning with his arms crossed, his jacket hiding his belt.

"We removed your Hazard Level out of pure necessity." The man sighed, shaking his head as Yusuke's eyes widened. "My Hazard Level... " Yusuke murmured, only to grit his teeth and stand up. "I'll... I'll get you back for this!" Yusuke shouted, the man laughing. "What are you truly afraid of?" The man quipped, before revealing his belt to be a dark gray Jikuu Driver, but with the screen and slots covered. "A Driver like Captain... "

The man held out a strange tombstone-like device, sliding it onto the Jikuu Driver as his body shined oddly. The man then pushed in the tombstone, shouting out. "Henshin!" The ground around the man shook, before two tombstones rose up and slammed into him, pulling away to reveal a Kamen Rider that looked a lot like Ghost, but white and more skeletal.

RISING! DYING! REVIVING! CRYPTO~!

"I will send you to your crypt if you dare go against me... Bow." The man ordered, stepping forward and staring at Yusuke. Yusuke, however, refused to bow and instead ran at the man, who let out a small laugh. "No Hazard Level, yet you still want to challenge the Black Order? Risky, but brave!" The Rider shouted, grabbing his arm as he got close and flinging him onto the floor, stomping on his chest hard.

"Get... Off me!" Yusuke cried out in pain, grabbing onto the foot and trying to force it off. The Rider let out a small chuckle, before raising his foot off of Yusuke and kicking him in the side, sending him tumbling for a bit until he managed to stop himself, getting to his feet and panting hard, clearly in pain. "Just die... Make this a hell of a lot easier for both your team and you."

SHIELD VENT!

The Rider turned, as Venture slammed a shield into their face. This forced the Rider to stumble to the side, with Venture quickly running to his friend and helping him to his feet, patting Yusuke on the back. "Took you long enough, Hans... " Yusuke groaned, falling backwards into his arms as Venture saw the reflective surface in the tube door.

"Well... Time to fly!" Hanshakara shouted, dragging Yusuke to the glass with him as the Rider made a mad dash towards them, but was too late. Both Venture and Yusuke vanished into the glass, the Rider crying out in anger as he failed to grab them. He then sighed, detransforming and going over to a monitor. He pressed a button, and then spoke into the monitor.

"2.7 Hazard Level remaining in him. His growth will be boosted exceptionally. Although, they escaped before I could boost his Mirror Monster. Black Order has no idea that I'm here, and thank God for it. Neither does the Victory Crew, but I'm not allowed to interfere with them yet. Boss' orders." The man said, taking off the Black Order symbol on his jacket, revealing it to be a sticker.

The man walked away from the screen, revealing that the screen had a read on the vitals of all Riders on the Victory Crew, with Brook's vitals showing that he wasn't alive, as he was a ghost. The man walked to a work table, holding up a RideWatch as someone burst into the room, panting. "Yes, private?"

"Sir! Rie just brought in two Riders! And one of them's Victory!" The private shouted, the man nodding as he adjusted his jacket, which now oddly had a rebel symbol on it where the Black Order logo once was. "That's nice. I'll be there shortly." The man replied, the rebel soldier nodding and running back out, the man tossing the RideWatch onto the table. "He'll know what this means. I need to get going." The man smiled, turning and walking through another door in the room.

OUTSIDE

Akimoto looked around at the rebel soldiers, his face brightening as he recognized a few of them. His face darkened, however, once he saw how they glared at him. Sieg stood with his leader, watching as the girl they had met walked into a combat tent. The people surrounding them were dressed in rebel uniforms, and held Ride-Player weapons. The girl emerged from the tent, walking over.

"Hiiro says he wants to see you two." The female ordered, the shy smile still on her face as Akimoto nodded. As he passed her, the two locked eyes and nodded to each other, with troubled expressions now encapsulating their expressions. With Sieg trailing him, the two entered the tent to find a man in a dirtied doctor's uniform leaning over a table.

"Jirou, it's too risky. If you move on your own, things could go wrong. Just wait until Nico and her squad returns." The man spoke calmly, as the pair noticed Another Snipe leaning against a wall, his arms crossed. The year 2017 sat on the side of his head, as they scoffed, holding a corrupted version of the Gashacon Magnum over their shoulder.

"Yeah. And every second we wait, more people die. We need to fight together... THEY ARE KILLING CHILDREN FOR LOSING A GAME!" Jirou argued, before stopping as he noticed Akimoto and Sieg. "Look whose back. And he brought a friend." Another Snipe snapped, sighing as he left through the other end of the tent, the man turning to reveal Hiiro Kagami.

"Hiiro. Good to see you!" Akimoto smiled warmly, only for Hiiro to move closer to him and stare him down. "A lot of us thought you left this place for good. And it felt like you did. Now you got a bigger crew I'm guessing. Makes you think you can stand up to the Black Order?" Hiiro suggested, Akimoto gulping and nodding as he held up the Ex-Aid RideWatch. "Well... We can try. We just don't have the gear right now." Akimoto explained, Hiiro sighing and turning back to the table. "Then why did you even show up." Hiiro lamented angrily.

"Because we want to try and help?" Hiiro and Akimoto turned as Sieg spoke up, Sieg having been silent for the entire time up until now. "Well, trying to help won't cut it. We need to save lives here, not try!" Hiiro shouted, Sieg flinching as Akimoto watched the interactions between the two, before his eyes settled on Hiiro.

"Last time I left, Emu was in charge of this army. Where is he." Akimoto inquired monotonously, Hiiro now going on the defensive and backing away, going back to his table and looking over a map. "I'd rather not talk about it." Hiiro replied, only for Akimoto slam his hand onto the table. "If you're going to yell and scream at me for abandoning this World, the least you can do is tell me what I've missed!" Akimoto retorted, Hiiro turning and shoving him before shouting.

"He's dead! Okay?! Emu tried to beat a game for a victim, and won it, only to have that coward Another Ex-Aid cut him down! I was placed in charge." Hiiro explained, his eyes watering as Akimoto's eyes widened. "The only Gamer Driver we have is in Rie's care... And she hasn't wanted to fight ever since you fought with her and failed." Hiiro finished, Akimoto's eyes then narrowing.

"... I can help fix this problem. I promise." Akimoto murmured, only for Hiiro to let out a small laugh. "What's the point anymore... We've lost so many people to this fight... Let the Black Order win. Maybe then the fatal games they sell would decrease in difficulty." Hiiro capitulated, only for Sieg to shout in response. "Even if you give in, the Black Order won't just let you off free! That's not how they operate!" Sieg shouted, Hiiro looking over at him and sighing, as he realized the boy was right.

"... If Jirou is really going to go after them, then I should too." Akimoto set the Ex-Aid RideWatch on the table by Hiiro, who looked at it as Akimoto looked down at Sieg. "You need to stay here. If the Black Order attacks the camp, you'll be needed to protect this place." Akimoto ordered, leaving the tent and heading for the camp's main gate. Sieg raced after him, with Rie watching from afar curiously.

"Where are you going, sir?!" Sieg shouted, Akimoto stopping as the gate was opened for him. "People think I abandoned this World. Now with most of my crew probably dead, it's my job to show them how I won't abandon a single World. No matter what the asshats wanna believe." Akimoto explained, before leaving with the gate slamming shut behind him. Sieg stared after his captain, with Rie doing the same. "He's... Going to fight again?" Rie murmured quietly, with Sieg turning and staring at her, before she took off running.

CLIFF EDGE

Kamen Rider Victory was thrown to the side, the Ghost Armor on him fading away as Another Brave and Another Lazer cackled. They had been fighting for three hours now, with the two Another Riders overwhelming Victory. As Akimoto got to his feet, Another Lazer shot by at lightning speeds and punched him around, only for flames to come from the ground and hit him around from Another Brave's corrupt Gashacon Sword.

"Lovely to see you again!" Victory fell to his knees as Another Ex-Aid arrived, kneeing him in the chin and forcing him to the ground, kicking him in the side brutally. "It's been so long since we last met! I just couldn't wait to see you again!" Another Ex-Aid giggled, before kicking him in the side once more. Victory groaned, before being sent flying by a shot from the Gashacon Sparrow, his scream ringing out.

"You... Bastards... " Akimoto managed, as his armor vanished with electric sparks. Akimoto coughed blood, as he closed his eyes, forcing himself to his knees and then to his feet, one side of him slumped over from the pain. "Akimoto... Going to run away again?!" Another Ex-Aid laughed, only for Akimoto to think back to when he had fought here the first time...

"AGH!" Akimoto was sent flying, detransforming as a female Rider with a Gamer Driver stood on the side, running to help him. Another Ex-Aid cackled, moving forward with one hand outstretched for his face. Akimoto quickly scrambled away, the Ex-Aid Rider forcing him back before joining Akimoto.

"What next?!" Rie shouted, as she held up a strange shotgun weapon with A and B on it as buttons. "I... I can't do this!" Akimoto admitted, holding onto the broken Ex-Aid RideWatch. Rie saw this, gasping, before Another Ex-Aid suddenly lunged forward with a large hammer in his hands. He slammed the hammer down, the number 2017 visible on his body as he turned, swinging it wildly.

"Rie! I'm sorry!" Akimoto shouted, backing away as the Victory Sailer swooped down. Rie fired on Another Ex-Aid, staring after Akimoto. "He's... Running? Is the Black Order that strong?" Rie murmured, beginning to shake as the Victory Sailer flew off, Another Ex-Aid cackling in victory as Another Ride-Players arrived.

BRIDGE

"Captain lost a lot of treasures here... But left them behind when he fled?" Sieg asked, Rie nodding. The two were standing by the edge of a park bridge, Rie looking at a blue and white Gashat with the title ' Sheer Horror 0 '. On the cover was a bunch of monsters, with a single torch separating them.

"He fled... And it filled me with so much fear. I had looked up to him, and he had been beaten so easily, forced to flee... What was I, if even the great criminal Victory ran away?" Rie murmured, lowering her head sadly as Sieg looked over at her, before smiling and patting her shoulder, before sighing contently.

"Ora would've loved to meet you... He was my old mentor." Sieg lamented, Rie looking over at him. "Where is he now?" Rie asked innocently, Sieg turning to her. "Oh... He passed on, fighting to protect me." Sieg remembered, Rie immediately becoming apologetic, only for Sieg to stop her with his hand.

"It's fine. He's in a better place now, and the other members of the Victory Crew have been filling me in with enough sympathy to bury a continent." Sieg smiled, Rie nodding before leaning towards him questioningly. "The other Victory Crew members... How are they?" Rie questioned, Sieg scoffing. "A lot better than me." Sieg admitted, Rie lowering her head. "But... They're all gone." Rie remembered hearing Akimoto say, Sieg nodding as he stepped back, putting his Henshin Kigen back onto his wrist.

"Aye. And that means I should probably go help Captain." Sieg nodded, walking off the bridge. Rie's eyes narrowed in confusion, and she took a few steps after him, before calling out, "But you just said they were better than you... Why are you still going to try?". Sieg stopped, looking down at his Henshin Kigen, before turning around and holding it up.

"Captain accepted me onto his Crew for this. What makes me a Kamen Rider. And I feel like I'd be doing him a disservice if I didn't keep up the good fight. Even if the better guys are down, I'm not completely useless." Sieg explained, Rie's eyes widening as she listened to him talk. "But if they fell, what chance do you stand?!" Rie shouted, Sieg thinking about it... Another Ex-Aid flipping past Venture, then showing Yusuke falling to his knees in a pile of the other Victory Crew members.

"I hate that image in my head... It makes me scared... But that just means I need to fight to stop it from happening. And if it does happen, then I need to go down knowing that I fought my damnedest!" Sieg decided, Rie nodding slowly as the Oni turned, running off. "Fight to stop your fear from happening... " Rie murmured, before sprinting off towards the rebel camp.

She eventually reached the rebel camp, going to a heavily defended building. "Please! Let me in now!" Rie shouted, the guards looking at each other, then looking at her. They stared at her as if she had just requested they shoot themselves in the head, holding out a hand to keep her away from the door.

"No can do. If we open this, we release both of the idiots in there." The guard said, only for Rie to scream. "THEN RELEASE THE LEAST DANGEROUS ONE TO COME HELP! WE NEED BOTH OF THEIR HELP, BUT I NEED ATLEASTO NE OF THE GUYS TO COME WITH US! NOW!" Rie shrieked, the guards immediately jumping to action out of surprise.

ALLEYWAY

Venture and Yusuke emerged from a mirror, both panting as Venture set Yusuke down. "Sorry... Didn't know which Mirror to go out." Venture panted, Yusuke waving him off as they sat together. Hanshakara took out his Advent Deck, his armor shattering away to reveal his human form, with Yusuke closing his eyes.

"That bastard... He took away my Hazard Level... " Yusuke managed, Hanshakara raising his head and looking at Yusuke's face, noting his expression. "That means... You can't transform anymore, right?" Hanshakara guessed, Yusuke nodding. Their conversation, however, was interrupted as they noticed a spectral figure approaching them from the shadows. "He's back... I'll defend you, Yusuke!" Hanshakara stood, only to stop as he noticed who it was...

CLIFF

Akimoto kicked an Another Ride-Player down, managing to spin around and smack another one back. He then let out a cry as he hurled himself numbly into two more, forcing his body to roll to a stand as he struck out with his foot, narrowly missing two more of the Ride-Players, as they all began to gather around him. The Another Riders watched from afar, seeming entertained.

"I can't keep this up for long... " Akimoto grumbled, striking out with his fist as a Ride-Player took it and used it to flip him onto his back, Akimoto spitting blood as he forced himself to his feet, moving more sluggishly than before. The Another Ride-Players all cackled, only to be forced away by a new arrival's kick.

"Akimoto!" Sieg announced, landing next to his captain, holding his axe guitar. "Sieg... I told you to defend the rebel camp!" Akimoto shouted, failing to hide the smile on his face at the backup's arrival. "I thought about it. Pirates don't really listen to orders, do they?" Sieg countered, Akimoto turning and smiling more. "You little wretch... " Akimoto joked, Sieg grinning back.

"No matter how many of you stand before us... You will lose!" Another Ex-Aid shouted, before being blasted from the side. Another Lazer also turned, being slashed as something rode by very quickly, the two figures landing by Victory and Sieg. One was Venture, riding a horse version of Pegature, and the other was... Ghoul.

"Sorry I'm late!" Brook laughed, much to Akimoto's amazement. "Brook... You're alive? Where have you been?!" Akimoto exclaimed, Brook holding up a small cloth bag and jingling it. "When they fired at me, I managed to phase through the deck and go look around. I found a stash of stuff with your name on it. Yusuke took the rest of it back, but I thought that this stuff could come in handy." Brook explained, Akimoto nodding.

The three Riders turned, standing to protect their leader... Only to get blown down in seconds, as Another Brave released a ball of flames into the air, with Another Lazer firing a volley of arrows into it. The arrows, now ablaze, seemed to seek out the Riders and hit them, doing a massive amount of damage and forcing them to detransform, landing on the ground.

"Dammit... So much for our badass entrance... " Hanshakara groaned, struggling to get to his feet as Another Ex-Aid began to approach. "Like I said... No matter how many Kamen Riders there are, you will lose. You are not as lovely as I am!" Another Ex-Aid cackled, the Another Riders with him laughing... Only to suddenly hear an attack announcement.

"Do-Do-Do-Do-Do Crimson Exploding Dragon Sword!" The Another Riders turned just in time to be hit by a red slash of energy, being sent flying in all directions. Akimoto looked over, seeing Graphite Guren and Rie standing together, with Graphite walking towards the Another Riders. "Brave... What have they done to your fighting spirit?! You are a fake copy!" Graphite roared, Rie running over to the others.

"What the hell... Wait... Is that the... " Akimoto stammered, seeing a RideWatch in Rie's hand. Rie smiled, holding it out to him. He took it quickly, looking it over... And seeing that it was not the Ex-Aid RideWatch, but instead the Genm RideWatch. "The hell... " Akimoto murmured, before Graphite turned and pointed his weapon at them.

"Oi! Gift from the Game Master freak!" Graphite shouted, before he slashed at Another Brave again, turning and punching Another Ex-Aid down. Another Lazer, though, got to speed behind Graphite and slash him once on his back, forcing him to one knee. "This won't do... I need to conserve my strength for my fight with the real Brave... You have what I came to give!" Graphite shouted, before quickly vanishing into orange particles.

"Little birdie told me you were too scared to fight, Rie?" Akimoto wondered, standing slowly as the others joined him, the three Another Riders going and standing parallel to them, laughing menacingly as Hoppers arrived, turning the dials on their head until they showed Ex-Aid's symbol, turning them into Bugster Virus footsoldiers, aiming their flame rifles at the group.

"Well, you were right... But the little birdie must have not heard the ogre that helped me overcome that fear." Rie admitted, Sieg smiling as Another Ex-Aid roared. "STOP TALKING! I WILL BRING YOU TO YOUR KNEES! YOU FOOLS WILL KNOW MY LOVELY POWER! IT ERADICATES ALL FEAR!" Another Ex-Aid roared, Akimoto scoffing as he stepped forward, holding out both RideWatches. Rie held up her Gashat, with Sieg raising his Henshin Kigen. Hanshakara held out his Advent Deck, using his phone to form the V-Buckle, as Brook took out one of the new Eyecons and held it out infront of him.

"Lovely power? The only thing lovely here is how good your defeat will be... Fear is something people live with. If fear did not exist... We would not be human! Now!" Akimoto shouted, clicking both RideWatches as they prepared to transform, before four of them (excluding Sieg) shouted out. "HENSHIN!"

RIDER TIME! VIKU-TOR-Y~! ARMOR TIME! LEVEL UP! GENM~!

KAIGAN ; BLACKBEARD! NEVER FLEE! SAIL FREE!

GACHAN! LEVEL UP! SHOOT THE MAZE! DODGE THE FEAR! SHEER HORROR X!

Lightning slammed down onto Sieg, as the Venture armor was reflected onto Hanshakara. Brook had a pirate-like Parka drift onto him, with the Gan Gun Saber splitting into it's dual sword mode. The Ex-Aid Rider from Akimoto's memory formed in Rie's place, monster roaring following as a game screen drifted over her. The armor on her resembled that of a white and black hunter, the icons below her health bar showing a shotgun and a torch. Kamen Rider Victory let a game screen drift over him, the Genm Armor appearing on him, with his visor reading ' Genumu '.

"Let's set sail to victory!" "I'm going to rock your soul!" "Let me reflect my victory onto you!" "Let the sound of your soul... Be muted." "The fate changing operation... Starts now!" Rie shouted finally, before all five Riders ran forward together, the Another Riders and Bugster Virus racing to meet them for battle.

Loki stepped past two of the foot soldiers, slicing the next two with his axe guitar, as Venture sailed through the air with his lance, cutting through them. The Mirror Rider landed, putting a new Card into his lance quickly, as Loki began to have trouble fighting off three of the footsoldiers.

CHARGE VENT!

The lance became covered in bright flames, before he released it from his hand. The lance flew directly into the Bugster Virus attacking Loki, destroying them in a bath of flames as it returned to his hand like an obedient pet, both of them blown away. "Did I just... " Venture gasped, Loki nodding slowly. "You did."

"Look out miss!" Brook shouted, sailing through the air and slashing the Bugster Virus footsoldiers behind her, the Ex-Aid Rider nodding her thanks as she grabbed a footsoldier by the head and threw it to the ground with amazing strength, Brook watching in awe. "I dunno why you were scared, but I like allies like you!" Brook exclaimed happily, as Rie summoned forth a weapon.

GASHACON BLASTER!

Rie now held a Gashacon shotgun weapon, turning and using it to blow back five Bugster Virus footsoldiers, as Ghoul quickly slashed them in half as they approached him. She then hit the A button, the gun's barrel switching to show a torch light. Rie swung it around, burning three Bugster Virus that came near her, much to Brook's awe.

"AND TAKE THIS!" Victory Genm Armor announced, as he threw Another Lazer to the ground. He then turned, kicking Another Brave's kneecap down and using the height advantage to knee him in the jaw, knocking him back. Victory then turned just in time to dodge Another Ex-Aid lunging by, Lovelica growling from inside the Another Rider.

"I REFUSE TO LET THE POWER OF THE GAME MASTER BRAT BEAT ME!" Another Ex-Aid shrieked, flying forward oncemore. He was met by Victory, who grabbed his arms and slammed him into the ground roughly, before nimbly turning and grabbing onto Another Lazer's Gashacon Sparrow, taking it as it's monstrous look began to change and shatter into a proper weapon, the Gashat slots replaced with RideWatch slots.

VICTOSPARROW!

Victory used this new weapon to fire on the Another Riders around him, forcing them to back away. He split it into it's sickle modes, running and slashing Another Brave rapidly, forcing the Another Rider to back away towards Another Lazer and Another Ex-Aid, before stepping back. Rie quickly joined him, as the other Riders did aswell.

"Let's go!" Akimoto ordered, the five nodding as they activated their finishers. Loki raised his pick, as Venture prepared to slot in his Final Vent Card. Brook rested his hand on the lever, while Victory was about to spin his Jikuu Driver. Finally, Rie hit her Kimewaza button after inserting her Gashat.

FINISH TIME! GENM! CRITICAL TIME CRUSH!

KAIGAN ; BLACKBEARD OMEGA DRIVE!

FINAL VENT!

KIMEWAZA! SHEER CRITICAL STRIKE!

Loki strummed his guitar, lightning shooting from it and slamming into the three Another Riders, locking them together as the Gan Gun Saber blades shined, along with Venture's lance. The two dashed forward, slicing the Another Riders quickly. Finally, Another Ex-Aid looked up to see Victory and Rie lunging high into the air, energy surrounding them as they fell towards the Another Riders, a torch-like flame enveloping Rie as they hit the Another Riders, causing an explosion.

LATER

Rie hugged Hiiro close, the latter sighing as Yusuke finished some repairs on the underside of the ship. Akimoto was examining the rudder, while Fortune (who had been hiding out on the Victory Sailer), was telling jokes to Sieg and Hanshakara, Brook watching Rie from the railing of the Victory Sailer.

"Kobayashi and Jirou are hunting the remains of the Black Order on this World. Otherwise, I'd love to have a party with you guys." Hiiro lamented, with Rie smiling and patting his shoulder, before turning and stepping onto the Victory Sailer plank, her smile showing both sadness and happiness.

"Don't worry, Hiiro. I'm going to go help people and be a doctor, kinda like you." Rie reminded him, Hiiro nodding somberly. "Besides... It's good we beat Another Brave, because we kind of... Set Graphite free to help us fight... Bye!" Rie quickly finished, hurrying aboard the Victory Sailer as Hiiro stared blankly. "W-What?" Hiiro stuttered, watching the Victory Sailer shoot off into the sky, with Rie waving from the railing.

"Next up, World of Faiz!" Rie asked, much to the irritation of Akimoto. However, the only one not amongst the group was Yusuke... Who was looking down at his Full Bottles and the Build Driver he had, wondering if he had a place amongst this crew anymore now that he had lost the ability to become a Kamen Rider.

WORLD OF FAIZ

A Wolf Orphnoch stood, howling at the moonlight. Before suddenly turning, now standing as Kamen Rider Faiz. Not Another Rider Faiz... Normal Faiz. The Rider then faced Another Kaixa and Another Delta, charging forward with a cry.

NEXT TIME ON KAMEN RIDER VICTORY!

"Yusuke... Why are you so down?"

Kamen Rider Faiz was then slashed, his Driver turning to ash as Another Faiz stood up and stretched.

"This World has no non-existing Riders?"

Yusuke is shown punching a Riotrooper away from the Wolf Orphnoch, before showing him being covered in Nebula Gas from nowhere.

"Being a Kamen Rider isn't a gift... It's fate."
