AN: Wow this took longer then I'd hoped but it's done. So without further delay, enjoy the new Fuge chapter and the debut of a brand new form!

Kamen Rider Fuge

Class 4: In the Beginning of Class. There was an Elemental Swordsman!

The sound of a keyboard could be heard as Takuya Ishida gazed at a computer screen, eyes scanning the screen and each time going, "No, no, definitely not, no." Sitting at his desk, Daisuke Sonoda sighed, "Will you just pick something already man! It's late and I'd like to get some sleep tonight."

Takuya turned around and shook his head, "I will not just pick something, these fusions need to be well thought out and done just right. If Fuge is going to get a new form I need to find the best suited rider to fuse with Blade."

Daisuek rolled his eyes as his friend continued to cycle through riders, "You're just being a perfectionist at this point. What about Wizard?" Takuya shook his head again, "I already considered him, he gets a pass." Daisuke groaned, "Fine, what about Agito? Ryuki? Gaim? Come on man, one of these has to sound good."

There was silence for a moment before Takuya stopped looking at the computer screen and crashed his head into the keyboard. Daisuke stood up to check on him before the scientist sprung up from his position, yawning, "Alright you know what, maybe we should take a break for tonight. I have class in the morning and I'm more tired than I care to admit."

Daisuke nodded and turned towards the door, "Well then I'll see you tomorrow then. Who knows, maybe you'll think of something in class." Takuya gave him a nod to say good night and sighed, who knows maybe he would think of something while teaching tomorrow.

The morning bell rang as students began to pile into the high school. Idle chatter amongst themselves as some entered school, eager to learn, while some reluctantly walked through the doors. One student, a young man on the shorter side with short well kept black hair walked the sidewalk, his face in a book, paying no attention to his surroundings.

As he walked he felt himself crash into something, looking up to seeing a much taller, larger student glaring at him. The larger student glared at him, "You! You bumped into me, you better tell me who the hell you think you are bumping into me."

The smaller student smiled sheepishly, he knew if he didn't say the right thing he could be doomed, "Oh I'm sorry I was just enjoying reading, I'm Ryo Matsuda, I think we're in the same class?" The taller student grabbed him by the shirt, nearly lifting him up, "Listen here Matsuda, no one bumps into Tetsuya Ohtori and gets away with it. Get ready book boy, I'm gonna make your life a living hell from now on."

Ryo tried to get out his grasp, raising his hands to try and admit defeat, "Ohtori it was an accident I swear, I was just reading. Can't you just forgive me this one time?" Tetsuya said nothing as he raised his free fist, getting ready to punch him before both were interrupted by a new voice, "Gentlemen, shouldn't you two be on your way to class? My class to be specific?"

Tetsuya dropped Ryo and they both turned to see Sensei Ishida looking tired, with his arms folded. Tetsuya tried to cover his tracks, "Oh Ishida Sensei, I'm sorry I was just helping my fellow late student get to class. Speaking of which, shouldn't you be getting to class as well?"

Sensei Ishida frowned and pointed at the door, "I don't have to explain myself to students, now get inside before the principal sees us, I'd get just as much in trouble as you two would. Oh and Mr. Ohtori, if I see you holding any students by the collar again it's straight to detention for you, got it?"

Tetsuya nodded as he turned to go inside of the school. Ryo began to walk forward, locking eyes with Sensei Ishida who gave him a reassuring smile. He frowned as he walked towards class, he just wanted to read his book and now he was going to deal with a bully. He was really hoping the day couldn't get any worse.

A guitar riff begins as we open on a dark classroom, a figure enters in a hurry, as the figure puts down his belongings and gets things out from his desk, logos from various Kamen Rider seasons appear on the chalkboard before the figure turns and writes on the board Kamen Rider Fuge, the logo gets bigger as the screen cuts to the next scene.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The bell rang as Sensei Ishida darted into the classroom, putting down his bag and quickly sitting down at his desk. As he got some papers out he heard a voice, "Uh Ishida Sensei are you ok?"

Sensei Ishida looked up to see a concerned Hiyori raising her hand, "Uh I'm fine really Ms. Fujita, I was up late last night working on an experiment, and because of that I didn't get much sleep nor had time to work on some papers for today's lesson. So in light of that today I'll have you all read the textbooks to prepare for tomorrow's lesson and at the end of class I'll ask you a few questions on what you read. Sounds good to everyone?"

The class mostly agreed, besides Hiyori who would rather have an actual lesson but she figured the experiment he'd been working on was Fuge business so she didn't argue with Sensei Ishida. As the class settled down for the reading, Sensei Ishida got to work on the papers he hadn't had time to work on the night before.

He was cursing himself, he usually never let Fuge work get in the way of teaching but the excitement of a new form must've caused him to be distracted. Meanwhile in the middle of the class, Ryo Matsuda sighed in content while reading the textbook.

Honestly it didn't matter what he was reading, he only cared that he got to read. As he continued to read though he felt something wet hit the back of his neck. Reaching over he found a spitball, having been fired at him by none other than Ohtori who simply glared at him as he began to prepare another spitball.

Ryo prayed for some kind of intervention, and sure enough before the bully could fire another one the straw was snatched from his hands by Sensei Ishida himself, "You know Mr. Ohtori I really don't care for these plastic straws. All they do is hurt the environment and don't contribute anything to society. I'd suggest you'd stop using them."

Ryo sighed in relief as Ohtori said nothing as Sensei Ishida went back to his desk. Everyone in the room could tell he wasn't actually talking about plastic straws but even Ohtori wasn't going to challenge him in his comments. Ryo went back to reading, time passing in class before he could finally escape Ohtori and hide within the school. That is until a crumpled note hit him in the head.

Bending down to pick it up, he unfolded it and was about to read it until once again Sensei Ishida appeared, snatching the note from him. He swore Sensei Ishida was a ninja or something since he had just been at his desk trying not to fall asleep. He uncrumpled the note and read it out loud, "Lunchtime, just you and me. Well Mr. Matsuda, that's very nice of you, of course I'll have lunch with you. I love getting the opportunity to get to know my students better."

He could hear Ohtori slam the desk in frustration. He spoke up quietly, "Oh no it's ok Ishida Sensei, if you're busy you don't have to have lunch with me." Sensei Ishida gave him a small smile and chuckled, "Don't worry about it Mr. Matsuda, I'll see you at lunch, now class let's talk about what you just learned about in the textbooks shall we?"

Ryo sank down in his desk as Sensei Ishida began to read the textbook. He hated all the attention he was getting. Another 10 minutes passed and the class was dismissed, Ryo quickly running out of the room to hopefully avoid Ohtori.

Sensei Ishida watched as he bolted out, he was clearly afraid of his fellow student, the question was what did he have to be afraid of. He signaled Hiyori and Koji to stay for a moment as he finished writing something down on a paper. Koji raised an eyebrow, "What's up Ishida Sensei?" Sensei Ishida looked up at his two students, concern in his eyes, "What can you two tell me about Ryo Matsuda? He's been in my class all year but he's never really stood out much until today."

Hiyori frowned, "Honestly not much, I've been in classes with him since middle school but he's always been a loner, reading books rather than interacting with anyone. He's really smart but he's never had a single friend from what I can tell." Koji crossed his arms, "A guy from my soccer team, Tetsuya Ohtori started messing with him today but you caught that yourself. Can't say I'm a big fan of him, always seemed like a bully."

Sensei Ishida nodded and frowned, "Well I can't say I care much for bullies so I think I will have that lunch with him to try and get to know him better, maybe figure out why he's being bullied. In the meantime I hate to ask but when i'm not around could you possibly try and befriend him? I'm of the opinion that every person whether they're a loner or not needs a friend or two."

The two nodded and began to leave the classroom, leaving him alone with his thoughts. Some teachers may consider him overstepping the line between teacher and friend, but he hated seeing a bullying situation played out. If he could help his student before it can really happen then he was going to risk that in order to prevent it.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It was finally lunchtime and Ryo sat by himself in the corner of the cafeteria. He hadn't seen Ohtori thankfully, but he was scanning the cafeteria in case he did try to track him down. As he took a bite of rice he barely noticed someone sitting across from him, "Mind if I sit here Mr. Matsuda?" Ryo looked up to see Sensei Ishida sitting across from him, a small smile on his face as he unwrapped a sandwich, "Ishida Sensei? I thought you were joking about eating lunch with me."

Sensei Ishida shrugged and took a bite of his sandwich, "I didn't have any meetings during lunch so I figured I'd live up to my offer. So Mr. Matsuda tell me about yourself, I noticed you like to read a lot." Ryo's face lit up, "I love to read, it's all that I like to do honestly. Do you like to read Ishida Sensei?"

Sensei Ishida chuckled at his response, "I do like a good book now and then, I admit though if it isn't science related I don't find time to read it. Got any good recommendations?" Ryo nodded and held up the current book he was reading, "The one I'm reading is really good, Eternal Story by Touma Kamiyama, although it's a sequel to his first book so you might have to read that first."

Sensei Ishida nodded, he felt like he'd heard that name before but he wasn't 100% sure where, "Mhmm I might have to pick up the first one then. So Mr. Matsuda, what got you so into reading?"

Ryo frowned and looked down at his book, "Uh my Dad, well late Dad, I would go visit him in the hospital and we would read together. He always used to tell me a good book could really teach you about the world and the people that live in it."

Sensei Ishida put a hand to his chin, "Reminds me of my Dad, he inspired my love of science. Your Dad wasn't wrong, books are truly a great source of knowledge and really can teach you about the world. But you know what else helps you learn about the world? Going out and living it, taking your nose out of the book and going out into it with a few good friends."

Ryo frowned, "So I take it you've noticed I don't have any friends huh." Sensei Ishida nodded and took another bite of his sandwich, "There's nothing wrong with a little alone time, but take it from someone who's tried being a loner before, friends are the best thing to have at your side. I'd like to be your friend if you'd let me, maybe help you make a few friends, I even have two that I think you'd mix well with."

Ryo sighed, "I'd love to make friends, Ishida Sensei, but I've learned that any time I try to make friends they make fun of me for my love of reading." Sensei Ishida frowned before feeling a vibrating in his pocket. He took out his phone, it was a text from Daisuke, he needed to go make a call outside.

He stood up and frowned at Ryo, "I understand how that feels I really do Mr. Matsuda, but honestly you need to just keep searching for a group who will accept you for you. My offer stands when you're ready, until then I hope you enjoy your book."

As he watched his teacher walk away he found himself smiling slightly, maybe he was right. Still it wasn't like he could make friends with Ohtori threatening to kill him. As he finished his lunch he got up, ready to go to his next class. As he walked towards his class he felt a hand grab his shoulder and spin him around.

He came face to face with an annoyed Ohtori, "Hello book worm, you're lucky my teammate distracted me with something soccer related or you would've been dead during lunch." Ryo held up his hands in fear, "Wait if you do anything to me Ishida Sensei would know it was you."

Ohtori paused for a moment before letting him go, "You're safe this time book worm, but mark my words Ishida Sensei won't be around all the time to protect you." He walked past him, bumping into him and almost sending him to the ground. Ryo gulped, Ohtori wasn't wrong, Sensei Ishida couldn't protect him forever.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Classes were finally over and Ryo could finally let out a sigh of relief. He knew Ohtori would have soccer practice so he didn't have to worry about the brute jumping him. As he walked, book open and enjoying the page he was on he barely had time to react to the arm in front of him, colliding with it and falling to the ground, dropping his book.

He looked up to see a scowling Ohtori above him, "What's up bookworm?" Ryo tried to get up but he was frozen with fear, "I-I-I thought you had soccer practice after school?"

Ohtori laughed as he picked up the book that had fallen to the ground, "You would've liked that wouldn't you? Nah Coach had to cancel today so I figured I'd surprise you." He began to examine the book he was holding and snickered, "Honestly bookworms like you annoy me, nose stuck in a book thinking you're better than all of us cause you think reading makes you smarter. Well here's a lesson for you, reading so much just makes you a loser, a weirdo who no one could ever possibly befriend."

He began to open the book, flipping through the pages as Ryo reached his arm up, trying to stop him, "Stop please, it's all I have, reading is all that I have!" Ohtori laughed, "See there's your problem, you have nothing. But here let me help you with that problem."

He put his hands on both sides of the book and began to pull, completely ripping it in half and letting the destroyed book to fall to the ground, leaving Ryo on the verge of tears, "No" He knelt down, pushing Ryo to the ground and raised a fist, "Now that that's done let's get to the beat down."

Before his fist could connect he was stopped as someone ran up and held his fist back, "That's enough Ohtori, the Coach wouldn't like it if he found out you were bullying someone." Ohtori turned around and frowned, "What the hell are you doing Kawakami? Get out of my way."

Koji frowned and pushed Ohtori back, offering his hand to Ryo, "I'm sorry about my teammate he forgets we aren't 5 years old anymore. You're Ryo Matsuda right? I'm Koji Kawakami."

Ryo took his hand and let him help him up, the entire time focusing on the destroyed book. Ohtori growled in anger as he approached Koji, "Stand in my way Kawakami then I'll kick your ass too." Koji prepared for him to charge at him but they were instead stopped by a new voice arriving, "Mr. Ohtori, I wasn't aware we were bullying people now for liking books."

Koji and Ohtori turned to see Sensei Ishida standing there, clearly annoyed. Koji gave him a nod as he walked between the two of them, "Koji I'm glad you were defending your fellow student but I'd prefer you didn't go down to his level, anywho Mr. Ohtori I'll say this once. Leave Mr. Matsuda alone and get out of my sight before I have you suspended, are we clear?"

Ohtori mumbled something under his breath and turned to leave, causing Koji to turn to Sensei Ishida, "Ishida Sensei shouldn't you send him to the principal's office? He needs to be taught a lesson." Sensei Ishida sighed and bent down and picked up the destroyed book, "I'm not worried about him right now Koji. Mr. Matsuda I apologize that he ruined a book you were really enjoying, I should've been here to stop him."

Ryo wiped away his tears, here was Sensei Ishida once again coming in and saving him, and not just him but Koji Kawakami, someone who he didn't think knew he existed. He took the book and frowned, "It's fine Ishida Sensei, you can't be everywhere." Sensei Ishida nodded slowly, "No I suppose I can't, but I do suppose I can offer to replace the book. So gentlemen, how about a trip to a bookstore?"

Ryo went wide eyed, "You really want to replace my book?" Sensei Ishida gave him a wide smile and nodded, "Of course, if I couldn't stop him from destroying your book then I'll replace it instead." Koji frowned and tried to turn away, "Yeah no thanks Ishida Sensei, I don't feel like going to a bookstore."

Before he could walk away Sensei Ishida grabbed him by the shoulder and pulled him back, "Come now Koji, you could do with some reading." Koji mumbled something under his breath as Ryo let out a small chuckle, Sensei Ishida was a bit strange. As he began to follow his teacher and fellow student, Koji, complaining the entire time, Ryo concluded one thing, maybe a bit strange wasn't a bad thing.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The three arrived at a small bookstore, it almost looked like a house rather than a bookstore. Koji frowned as he turned towards Takuya, "Hey Ishida Sensei why'd you take us to this one? It's pretty small isn't it?"

Takuya nodded before turning around and pointed at the sign on the building, "The author of the book Mr. Ohtori destroyed, he owns this bookstore, Fantastic Bookstore Kamiyama!" Ryo's eyes widened, "Wait really? He owns this place? Do you think he's here?" Takuya shrugged as the three went inside, "Maybe who knows, only one way to find out."

As they stepped in, they found a rather small store, walls lined with books and in the middle of the store a rather impressive diorama of a fantasy world, complete with a dragon, a large lion and what seemed to be a genie.

As they walked in, a man dressed rather oddly with medium black hair arrived, smiling at them, "Welcome to Fantastic Bookstore Kamiyama, what can I do for you?" Takuya gave him a nod, "We were looking for the book Eternal Story, my student here got their copy destroyed so I offered to get him a new copy. I saw on the internet the author owned this store so no better place to get a new copy then straight from the source."

The man nodded and took a copy of Eternal Story from the shelf, "You're a teacher then I take it?" Takuya nodded, "I teach science at the local high school, Takuya Ishida at your service, teacher and scientist funded by Hiden Intelligence."

The man nodded and shook his hand, "Touma Kamiyami, author, avid reader and owner of this store." Ryo stepped forward, Takuya noticing the excitement on his face, "So you really wrote these books? Can I ask you what inspired you?"

Touma nodded and sat down at his desk, "Of course, though it's not a very interesting story." Takuya and Koji watched the two begin to converse, Ryo picking Touma's brain about his stories as Takuya frowned. Koji raised an eyebrow as he resisted the urge to play with the diorama, "Everything all good Sensei?"

Takuya nodded as he stared intently at Ryo, "Yeah I just really can't shake the feeling that I recognize this guy from somewhere." Koji shrugged, "Maybe there was a rider that used books as a power source or something."

Takuya sighed, "Maybe who knows, can't really ask him without blowing my secret identity." Koji nodded in agreement and the two watched Ryo and Touma converse for nearly 20 minutes, the two chiming in occasionally.

Eventually Ryo looked at his phone and frowned, "I need to get home to my Mom, but thank you Kamiyama Sensei for talking with me, and thank you for signing my book."

He then turned towards Takuya and bowed slightly, "Thank you Ishida Sensei, I really appreciate this." Takuya gave him a smile as he nudged Koji in the ribs causing the youth to step forward, "Uh by the way Matsuda, if you want over the weekend you should come hang out with my friend Hiyori and I."

Ryo nodded slowly as he began to leave, "I think I'd like that." He left, leaving a satisfied Takuya to fold his arms and smile. Touma turned towards Takuya and smiled, "It's really impressive actually, how far you just went for your student. I wish I had a teacher like you in school."

Takuya chuckled and waved him off, "I would do it for each and every one of my students, I want them to succeed in life and I'll help them anyway I can." As he and Kouji prepared to leave, Touma nodded, "Everyone decides the ending to their own stories, you, me and your students."

Hearing this, Takuya suddenly spun around pointing at Touma, "SABER!" Koji looked at his teacher confused, "Uh Sensei you good?" Takuya nodded and walked up to Touma, "You're Kamen Rider Saber, Aruto Hiden told me about you."

Touma jumped back a bit, "Who are you?" Takuya stuck out his hand again and chuckled, "Allow me to reintroduce myself, Takuya Ishida, Teacher, Scientist and also Kamen Rider Fuge."

Touma took his hand and shook it, "Kamen Rider Fuge? Never heard of you." Takuya nodded, "That's kind of the point. I was retired until about a month ago. 10 years ago I defeated an organization named Genesis and well a month ago they showed back up and are now using the powers of riders' enemies in their new evil plans. I've been fighting them because every time a rider's old enemy is resurrected it acts as an EMP for their powers."

Touma frowned, "I see, so essentially it's up to you since we can't defeat our old enemies coming back?" Takuya nodded and produced a business card from his pocket, "Here's my number, if you run into a mad scientist named Doctor Omega or robots with a G on them give me a call."

Touma took the card and nodded, "Right, I'll make sure to spread the word to my fellow swordsmen, it was great to meet you Takuya." Takuya and Koji said their goodbyes to Touma and walked out, Koji turning towards Takuya, "So I guess I was right about a rider using books as a power source." Takuya frowned, at least he was able to warn Touma before he had the misfortune of encountering Genesis for himself.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

He was walking faster than usual, he lost track of time and he knew his Mom would start to worry if he got home so late without so much of a call. As he continued to walk he could've sworn he felt a chill behind him as his shoulder was grabbed from behind.

He was spun around, coming face to face with a smiling Ohtori, "Well well I knew if I followed you long enough you'd leave Ishida Sensei." Ryo tried to break free from his grasp but he couldn't do it as he pushed to the ground, "Please, please just leave me alone. I'm sorry for bumping into you, I'll never do it again I promise."

Ohtori chuckled as he was on his knees, his fist inching closer to his face, "Oh I know you won't, I'll make sure of it." The first few punches hurt, but after a minute and Ohtori not letting up he didn't feel them anymore, there was blood and he wasn't sure if that was him or Ohtori's knuckles bleeding from punching him so much. Eventually though all he could think about was why was this happening to him?

Wasn't Sensei Ishida supposed to be stopping this? Wasn't he supposed to care about his students? This is why he should've kept his nose in his book, books don't hurt you, books don't disappoint you, but people do. After what felt like forever Ohtori finally stopped, seemingly satisfied with his work.

Ryo said nothing as Ohtori walked away, not even bothering to look back at his victim. That was it really? The brute beat him to a bloody pulp and walked away without so much as a word? Why? What did that accomplish?

He struggled to get up, sitting on his knees as he punched the ground, letting out a large scream, "I HATE PEOPLE! I HATE THEM TRYING TO STOP ME FROM BEING ALONE! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!"

As he continued his breakdown he heard a chuckle from behind him, an old man in a lab coat approached him, "Oh dear boy you've only just begun to realize the pain that humanity brings." Ryo jumped back a bit, "Who are you?" The man smiled and held out a book, "I overheard your rant and I couldn't just help but want to help. You see this book boy, this is an amazing book, one that'll fulfill all your heart's desires."

Ryo backed into a fence, hoping for someone to save him, "Listen, I have a good book already, I don't think I want yours." He laughed as he approached Ryo, shoving the book into his chest as the youth began to convulse, "Silly boy, no one rejects the gifts Doctor Omega brings."

Ryo was consumed in books as the air got colder, emerging in his place was a yeti like creature who simply growled causing Omega to laugh uncontrollably, "Oh I always wanted to bring about the next ice age, so who better to revive than the Megid that gave Saber trouble when he found himself alone."

It growled as the air dropped colder, several street signs and cars freezing as it walked. Omega followed it as it growled again, now clearly attacking anything that moved, "Good, gooooooood, rampage to your heart's desire, plunge the world into its frozen doom."

Before it got further though the sound of a motorcycle rang through the streets as Kamen Rider Fuge arrived, nearly hitting Omega as he skidded to a stop. Omega glared at him, "You almost hit me! Don't you know it's rude to run over your elders." Fuge got off his Machine Fuger and sighed, "Trust me Omega I don't think I'd be arrested if I did hit you."

The Yeti Megid growled at him as Omega laughed, "Oh yes I forgot to introduce you to my newest zombie, the Yeti Megid, I do hope you're ready for an ice age." Fuge got into a fighting stance and watched the Megid slowly, "No thanks, I'm more of a summer guy anyway."

He ran at the Yeti Megid, punching it several times and sending it back a few inches before it began to struggle to move. It clutched its chest in pain as Fuge stopped briefly, what was wrong with this thing.

It began to freeze things faster as a different voice came from its mouth, "Someone, someone please help me, it's so cold." Under his helmet Takuya's eyes went wide, "Ryo? Ryo what did he do to you?"

He jumped back as the Yeti Megid regained control, sending a massive blast of ice at him as Omega admitted his handiwork , "What you didn't know the dirty secret about Megid's? In order for more to be born the now deceased leaders of the Megid would find humans with potential and shove an altar book into them, consuming the human. When that Megid is fully developed that boy will die and the Yeti Megid will be stronger than he is now. I'm guessing you know him judging by your concern."

He grit his teeth and turned towards Omega, the rage in him building, "Omega I will end you slowly and painfully for touching one of my students." Omega shook his head and smiled, "No, not you won't, because you're about to be a Fugecicle."

Before he even knew what happened, the Yeti Megid unleashed a massive blizzard, freezing him completely as Omega watched, "Oops sorry did you not put freezing protection in your driver? That might've been a good idea."

The Yeti Megid growled again as Omega began to walk away, "Finish him and let's go, we have more important things to do." As the Yeti Megid approached a frozen Fuge a new voice arrived, "LET'S FUGEON RIDE!"

Kamen Rider Combi appeared, kicking the Megid away, the ZiGan DeCatcher in some sort of scythe mode, "You know it's May right? Much too early for snow."

The Yeti Megid growled as Omega scowled at Combi, "Well if it isn't Doctor Sonoda, I'd heard you were out of retirement but I was really hoping it wasn't true." Combi sighed and hit Fuge with the end of his weapon, unthawing him and sending him to the ground, "Hello to you too Grandfather, glad to see Yamato's death hasn't kept you from being a complete asshole."

Doctor Omega scoffed at his comment, "He always was my favorite, it always saddened me that you inherited my intellect and he didn't." Before Combi could respond Omega tapped a button, disappearing along with the Yeti Megid in a flash of light.

Combi said nothing as he removed the Scitubes from his driver and reverted to Daisuke, who offered a hand to the clearly still cold Takuya. Takuya took it and stood up, "Oh I just love your family reunions." Daisuke rolled his eyes, "Yeah they're a real treat, who's frosty the snowman?"

Takuya scowled, "My student Ryo, Omega used something called an Alter book on him, turned him into that thing, and if we can't figure out how to separate him from it he'll die." Daisuke frowned, "What we need to do is get back to the lab and figure out how to combat that thing first, because it probably would've frozen me too."

Takuya sighed and nodded, "Fine, but I'll tell you one thing, your Pop-Pop is gonna pay for messing with one of my students." Daisuke jabbed him in the side as the two began to walk over to the Machine Fuger, "I called him that once when I was 2 and you agreed to never bring it up again." Takuya chuckled slightly, teasing his friend helped distract him from his rage a bit, but he was determined, he'd rescue Ryo if it was the last thing he'd do.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The clacking sound of a keyboard could be heard as Takuya desperately tried to search for a solution to save Ryo. He sneezed as the blanket wrapped around him nearly fell off. Daisuke appeared from behind him, placing down a cup of coffee, "Not 30 minutes ago you were frozen solid, you should be resting."

Takuya shook his head and took a sip of the coffee, "No dice Dai, I need to find something to combat the coldness of that Yeti." Daisuke frowned and picked up the Blade Scitube, examining it, "Didn't you say you met another rider today that used books as a power source? Saber wasn't it? Why not look him up?"

Takuya typed away for a moment as the information on Saber appeared, "DAI YOU GENIUS!" Daisuke crossed his arms and smiled, "I mean obviously but what did you find out?"

Takuya smiled, "Saber was indeed the rider who fought these things, and he's known as the swordsman of fire. If I combine him and Blade then I could have a pretty powerful form that can take full advantage of my skills with a sword."

Daisuke looked at the screen and nodded, "You better get to work then, but don't over do, we don't need you being too tired to fight." Takuya waved him off as he went to work creating the new form, he would save Ryo if it was the last thing he did.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

The school bell rang as Tetsuya Ohtori made his way towards the school. He had taken his time getting to school, he didn't want to deal with Sensei Ishida again. As he approached the school he found someone standing at the entrance. As he got closer he smiled at who it was, "Oh hey bookworm it's you. What's the matter, want another lesson?"

Ryo smiled as Ohtori approached, his eyes looked tired and Ohtori could swear he had frost on his hands. Ryo shook his head and laughed, his breath could be seen as he laughed, "No I'm here to teach you a lesson, I've embraced the full power of books. You humiliated me Ohtori! All I wanted was to be left alone with my books and then the very moment I started thinking maybe having friends wouldn't be too bad, that maybe I could still read like my father did with me and I could not be alone anymore. BUT YOU WOULDN'T LET ME!"

Books covered his body as he screamed, the Yeti Megid emerged and launched forward, trying to attack Ohtori. He screamed as he jumped out of the way, putting his hands up in defense, "Listen book… Matsuda, please forgive me. I didn't know that reading was that important to you. Please I shouldn't have done all that, just don't harm me!"

The Yeti Megid hesitated for a moment, seemingly taking in his words before growling and sending a stream of ice at him. The teen jumped away again in fear, the ice freezing his foot and causing him to fall to the ground.

As he struggled to break free he could hear the sound of a motorcycle as the Machine Fuger arrived. Sensei Ishida quickly got off and put a hand out towards the Yeti Megid, "Ryo please stop! I understand that you're angry, you have every right to be angry. He hurt you, both physically and emotionally and I understand that reading is important to you because of your father. My father's death is why science is important to me. But please you can't be consumed by your anger!"

The Yeti Megid struggled to move as Ohtori looked at Sensei Ishida, "Sensei I'm sorry, I didn't know this would happen." Sensei Ishida grit his teeth and frowned, "Allow this to be a lesson Mr. Ohtori, actions have consequences, you bullied Ryo and caused him to give into anger and that's unforgivable. However it's never too late to grow as a person and learn to be better than we were yesterday. Take this as a lesson Tetsuya, next time you see someone different than you, befriend them, don't bully them."

The Yeti Megid growled again as Ryo's pained voice came through, "S-S-Sensei, help me!" Takuya frowned and nodded, "As much as I hate to hurt a student I don't have any other choice. Ryo, please forgive me."

As he walked forward, getting ready to fight he noticed another motorcycle arrive as Touma got off the DiagoSpeedy, "Takuya, your friend Daisuke called me. Listen, you can use Saber's power to separate humans from Megid, you just gotta concentrate."

Takuya nodded and gave him a thumbs up, "I appreciate the tip, now prepare to see the debut of my brand new form!" He removed the driver from his coat and put it on his waist, causing it to spring to life, "CENTRI DRIVER"

He removed two Scitubes from his pockets, one a mix of silver and a dark blue, the other red and white as he flipped them around. He placed the first one into the driver, "Turn Up: The riders whose power is at its peak is…. Blade!" A test tube with the image of Kamen Rider Blade appeared next to him as Takuya then put the second Scitube into the driver, "Rekka Batou: The rider who decides the story's ending is …. Saber!"

A test tube containing Kamen Rider Saber appeared on the other side as Takuya lifted his hand with two fingers forward, mimicking Blade's henshin pose, "HENSHIN" The familiar black undersuit appeared around Takuya as the test tubes broke apart, beginning to run along the under suit, "LET'S FUGEON RIDER!"

Blade and Saber began to fuse on his body, "BLADE! SABER!" The chest armor resembled Blade's, half of it was red, the other half was blue as a silver dragon emblem and a spade appeared on the chest. The half coat from Saber appeared on his leg, being white and blue as the legs were red and blue, white running down the middle. Finally Saber's X shape appeared on his visor as Blade's point appeared on the top of his head as the silver eyes flashed briefly as the driver finished it's chant, "The rider who decides when his power is at its peak is… Fuge Elemental Swordsman!"

Fuge quickly summoned two blades, resembling the Blay Rouzer and Kaenken Rekka except modified for Scitube insertion. They pulsed with lightning and fire, "Class is in session! So try to pay attention."

The Yeti Megid charged at him, the ice accumulating around it as Fuge ran at it, the fire from the Saber side keeping him from freezing as he slashed at the Yeti Megid, sending it back. Fuge stopped for a moment and held his sword up, "Alright time to concentrate."

As he concentrated his fire sword began to glow, charging at the Yeti Megid, he delivered a quick slash, Ryo falling out of it as it shot back a bit. Ryo looked at Fuge in astonishment, "Sensei?" Fuge nodded quickly, "Get to safety, I'll handle this." He charged at the rampaging Megid, slashing it several more times.

Meanwhile Doctor Omega watched from afar, "Well I wasn't expecting this outcome, time to send in some Genesis Men." As he said this he heard a noise behind him, "The rider who rejoices to the call of his heart is… Combi Futuring Ulord!" He turned around to see Kamen Rider Combi standing there, ZiGan DeCatcher in hand as he waved at him, "Yo Gramps."

Omega glared at him, "Change of plans, GENESIS MEN KILL HIM!" Combi charged at the green robots, dispatching them with ease as Doctor Omega took the chance to slink away as he usually did.

Back with Fuge, he continued to have the Yeti Megid on the ropes as he sent it flying back, "Alright I think it's time to test a hypothesis. If I activate my finisher, utilizing the full power of lightning and fire I think I'll end you!" He took out the two Scitubes and put them into the swords causing them to glow with power, "LET'S FUGEON FINISH!" The swords became enveloped with lightning and fire as Fuge ran forward at him, "ELEMENTAL JUUJIZAN!"

He began to circle the Yeti Megid, slashing at it several times, it slowly leaking lightning and fire as Fuge made one final slash, going through it and making an X as it fell, exploding in ice as Fuge plunged his swords into the ground, "Class dismissed, any questions?"

Fuge took the Scitubes out of his driver as he reverted to Takuya, Daisuke arriving to join him as the two walked over to Touma. The three watched as Ohtori approached Ryo, getting on his knees, "Please Matsuda, please forgive me, I was an idiot and a jerk and I want to be better."

Ryo looked at him for a moment and blinked before smiling and offering him a hand, "Ohtori, I thought books would make me happy, but I think I've learned that I need friends too to learn about the world. Can we be friends?"

Ohtori took his hand and stood up, smiling, "I'd like it, we can learn together. Can you recommend any books to me? I want to learn to read more." Ryo nodded, "I think Kamiyama Sensei can help me with that."

Touma watched the two approach him and nodded, "I'm always willing to help someone who wants to pick up a book."

Takuya and Daisuke simply looked on, another happy ending to a rather dicey situation. Takuya smiled slightly though, he was just happy to get through to both of his students, there wasn't much of a better feeling than that.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

It had grown dark as a train arrived in the station, one passenger got off the train, a simple bag in hand.

The woman, her dark red hair tied into a ponytail pulled out a phone, smiling to herself. She began to walk towards the exit of the station uttering one sentence to herself, "Let's see what you've been up to… Takuya." Her footsteps faded into the dark as she went out into the night of the city.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

NEXT TIME ON KAMEN RIDER FUGE!

The Woman has appeared in the lab in front of Takuya

"Rin? What brought you to town."

Rin is seen being held back by Fuge

"He took away my family, my dreams, why can't you let me repay the favor!"

Finally a dark Rider appears as Doctor Omega celebrates in front of a weakened Fuge

"BEHOLD THE GENIUS OF GENESIS! KAMEN RIDER SUBTER!"
