The Narumi Detective Agency once served as the headquarters of Sokichi Narumi, aka Kamen Rider Skull, before he was killed. The agency was then passed onto his daughter, Akiko Narumi, who was the boss of Phillip and Shotaro Hidari, the detectives who became the two-in-one Kamen Rider Double. Now, it was devoid any person save for the familiar Kamen Rider Raika, who was standing near the desk with a phone at where his ear should be.
"You can't find anything about the cyborgs or those ghosts, Ebon?" Raika asked Ebon, who was on the other end of the line. "There has to be something!"
Ever since that attack, Raika had the feeling that both the cyborgs and the ghosts were sent by someone to take him out. Whoever it was, Raika was determined to find out, but so far he had little to no success. "Well, how long will it take?" Raika asked into the phone. When he received his reply, Raika sighed. "Alright then, I'll just wait. Call me when you get something. See ya."
With that, Raika hung up the phone and placed it on the desk before he sat down the chair that Shotaro would usual sit. He leaned his upper body forward, wondering to himself about the recent attacks. 'Where are those guys coming from?' he asked himself. 'There has to be some connection, but I can't figure it out. I checked with Lynx and she doesn't have anything. And I just called Ebon now and he said it'll take some time.' Raika mentally sighed. 'I really wish I knew!'
With that, Raika just laid back in the seat, sighing. "Maybe I can do something to pass the time," Raika said to himself.
Out of the corner of his visor, Raika noticed his laptop on the desk was still on, so he turned towards it and to his surprise, saw a paused video on the screen. Wondering what it was, Raika played the video and the first word that came out of it was: "ETERNAL!"
Many bright lights flashed off of the screen, reflecting off of Raika's visor as he watched the video before him.
"That'll do," Raika grinned underneath his mouth guard.
Immediately, Raika grabbed his camera on the side and sat down before activating it. 'This'll be a good review!' he thought excitedly.

KR Raika: Hey guys. Raika here. I'm just waiting for a call from Ebon on something important, and since I have nothing to pass the time, I thought I would do a review on the Kamen Rider Double movie!
*shows the opening for Kamen Rider Double*
KR Raika: Ranking number 5 on my old "Top 11 Heisei Kamen Rider shows," Kamen Rider Double tells the story of Shotaro and Phillip, two detectives who become Kamen Rider Double to stop superhumans called Dopants from ruining the city of Fuuto.
*camera goes back to Raika*
KR Raika: Now like the other Kamen Riders of this era, Double has a movie-Kamen Rider Double Forever: A to Z, Gaia Memories of Fate, whih is what I'm going to be reviewing today. Now, keep in mind that the Double movie takes place between episode 44 and 45, so there will be spoilers for those who haven't seen the show. Just thought you should know that.
*shows the first scene of the movie*
KR Raika: The movie starts out with a guy from the organization of Foundation X leaves Fuuto on a helicopter. With him is a case filled with a new set of Gaia Memories called T2 Gaia Memories.
*shows a plane following the helicopter*
KR Raika: Unknown to him, a plane follows the helicopter with a man named Katsumi Daido who looks like he's after the Gaia Memories.
*shows Katsumi jump onto the helicopter*
*camera goes back to Raika*
KR Raika: Wait did he just jump out of a plane and land in the helicopter?
*shows the young man jump onto the helicopter again*
KR Raika: He did! He just jump out of a plane and land in the helicopter!
*shows Katsumi with one of the T2 Memories in his hand before transforming into Kamen Rider Eternal*
KR Raika: Anyway, Katsumi lands in the helicopter and takes one of the memories. And transforms into Kamen Rider Eternal!
*shows the helicopter blowing up while Katsumi lands on building *
KR Raika: ... then he blows up the plane, scattering the T2 Gaia Memories across Fuuto. Eternal then lands on the roof of a building with four other guys, who all plan to search for the Memories.
*shows the opening sequence of the movie*
KR Raika: Then, the movie shows an opening sequence that explains about Double and his fight against the Dopants. This is good because it establishes the plot for anyone who hasn't watched Double before.
*Shows Akiko and Shotaro in the agency*
KR Raika: It begins with Shotaro and Akiko in the Agency with it raining outside. Akiko is being Akiko, trying to see if she can get Ryu Terui, aka Kamen Rider Accel, to fall for her, while Shotaro notes on the rain.
*shows Phillip in the park*
KR Raika: Meanwhile, Phillip is in a park and watches a kid goes to his mom, which makes him think about mom/son relationships, since he doesn't remember having any and the fact that Shroud, the person who gave Ryu the Accel Memory, is his mom.
*shows Phillip fighting two Dopants and a woman firing at them*
KR Raika: Suddenly, Phillip finds the Violence and IceAge Dopants who are attacking the park. Phillip holds them off when a woman arrives to help Phillip until Shotaro arrives and the two transform into Double CycloneJoker form.
*shows Double and Accel fighting their respective Dopants*
KR Raika: As Double deal with those Dopants, Accel fights off the Nasca and Weather Dopants. They both use their final attacks on them, but the Gaia Memories don't break unlike regular one. The two Dopants that Double was fighting reveal themselves to be Santa-Chan and Watchman, two of Double's informants, who tell them that they found these Memories that forcefully entered their body.
*shows everyone at the agency*
KR Raika: While the Riders meet at the agency, the same woman from before and introduces herself as Maria S. Cranberry, an international criminal investigator. She explains that the Memories are T2 Gaia Memories, refined versions of standard Gaia Memories, which are scattered across the city and are being looked for by a terrorist group called NEVER led by Katsumi Daido.
*shows Phillip and Maria sitting in a hotel room*
KR Raika: While the others look for the T2 Gaia Memories, Phillip goes to visit Maria to give her back her music box she left at the agency and to find more about her. As he does this, Phillip believes that Maria is his mother, Shroud.
*shows Shotaro with Queen and Elizabeth before showing Shotaro with a female motorcyclist*
KR Raika: Shotaro immediately goes to look for the T2 Gaia Memories, first heading to the informants, Queen and Elizabeth, who both have their own T2 Gaia Memories. When Queen's Memory tries to go into her, she throws it away only for a female motorcyclist named Reika to take it. Shotaro tries to talk to her to give him the memory, but he realizes she's apart of NEVER.
*shows Reika turning into the Heat Dopant before being chased by Double*
KR Raika: Reika then becomes the Heat Dopant and runs away with Double chasing after her.
*shows Double fighting against the Luna, Metal, and Heat Dopants before being showing the Cyclone Dopant*
KR Raika: Double soon encounters the other members of NEVER and loses badly before the Cyclone Dopant appears, allowing Double to retreat.
*shows Phillip in the Gaia Library before showing him in the agency with 19 T2 Memories*
KR Raika: While the others continue to look for the memories, Phillip looks up NEVER to find out that their undead super soldiers called Necro-Overs, NEVER for short, developed by Foundation X who went rogue. Later, Phillip is taking care of nineteen of the T2 Memories found, and he gets a call from Maria, who tells him to meet her and bring the T2 Gaia Memories with her.
*camera goes back to Raika, who's motioning people to come to him*
KR Raika: Alright, 20-to-1 on it being a trap! Place your bets!
*shows the Riders and Akiko meeting Daido, who transforms into Eternal, before the Riders transform and fight him and the Trigger Dopant*
KR Raika: Well, what do you know, it is a trap! The Riders and Akiko meet Katsumi Daido who transforms into Kamen Rider Eternal. Phillip and Shotaro assumed Double FangJoker form, but get their butts whooped. They become Double CycloneJokerXtreme form, but the still get their butts whooped, like Terui who's getting beaten by the Trigger Dopant.
*camera goes back to Raika*
KR Raika: Is there a pattern here or something?
*shows Eternal using his Maximum Drive and the Riders losing their forms*
KR Raika: Eternal then uses his Maximum Drive, which neutralizes all of the Memories in the city, save for the T2 Gaia Memories, which leaves our heroes powerless.
*shows Maria turning into the Cyclone Dopant*
KR Raika: Maria turns out to be the Cyclone Dopant as she transforms to save Akiko, before she leaves with Daido, taking the T2 Gaia Memories the Rider had.
*camera focuses on Raika*
KR Raika: Okay who didn't see that coming? I mean it was pretty obvious from the start!
*shows everyone in a forest before showing NEVER on a screen*
KR Raika: Anyway, the gang is in the woods recovering from their fight when they pick up a transmission of NEVER at Fuuto Tower who reveal their weapon called the X-Bicker, and offer a billion yen and membership into NEVER to anyone who would find the last T2 Memory, the J Memory, which causes people to go hysterical to finding the dang thing! Phillip and Shotaro get into argument on trusting Maria, which ends up with Phillip punching Shotaro before leaving to find Maria.
*shows a scene that portrays Phillip with Maria and Daido*
KR Raika: Phillip goes to Maria, who reveals she's been working with NEVER and that she's Daido's mom, not Phillip's. Then, Daido knocks out Phillip and he's captured.
*shows Shotaro at the agency with Kamen Rider Skull*
KR Raika: Shotaro then goes back to the agency to figure out about Phillip, and his old boss, Kamen Rider Skull, appears and Shotaro finally realizes what Phillip is sees Maria as a mother figure. Skull then leaves his Lost Driver before he exits the agency and disappears.
*camera goes back to Raika*
KR Raika: Um... that's weird.
*shows Shotaro fighting off the Heat Dopant*
KR Raika: Suddenly, the Heat Dopant comes in to kill Shotaro, but before that fire chick can turn Shotaro into a burning corpse, he finds the T2 Joker Memory and with the Lost Driver, Shotaro becomes...
*shows Shotaro transforming into Kamen Rider Joker*
KR Raika: ...KAMEN RIDER JOKER!
*camera goes back to Raika, who raises his arms in joy*
KR Raika: YES! JOKER IS IN THE HOUSE, BABY!
*shows Kamen Rider Black fighting monsters*
KR Raika: The reason why I'm so excited about Joker is because he's an homage to Kamen Rider Black, one of the best Showa Era Riders known to date, which Shotaro's actor happens to be a fan of. Kamen Rider Black is also one of my favorite Riders, which is why I love Joker!
*shows Joker doing a Maximum Drive on the Heat Dopant before showing him and Terui fighting off Masquerade Dopants*
KR Raika: Back to the movie, Joker Rider Kicks the Heat Dopant and heads off with Terui to rescue Phillip, who's at Fuuto Tower with NEVER. Joker then leaves to rescue Phillip, while Terui deals with the Trigger Dopant.
*shows Joker fighting the Metal Dopant before fighting Eternal*
KR Raika: Joker defeats the Metal Dopant with a Rider Punch and arrives to save Phillip, who happens to be hooked up to the X-Bicker as an amplifier, but not before fighting Daido, who transforms into Eternal. Joker puts up a good fight, but in the end, he's beaten badly by Eternal, reverting back into Shotaro.
*shows memories going into the X-Bicker*
KR Raika: Daido then uses the T2 Zone Memory to summon every T2 Memory to the X-Bicker, which will transform everyone in the city into undead monsters.
*camera goes back to Raika*
KR Raika: Wait, an entire city of zombies? Only one man can defeat such an army of darkness!
*shows Ash, played by Bruce Campbell, from Army of Darkness*
Ash: Groovy.
*camera goes back to Raika*
KR Raika: Bruce Campbell, you're the man!
*shows Reika entering the room before she lying dying in Shotaro's arms*
KR Raika: Anyway, Reika comes in, begging for help as her body is failing her. Daido pushes her aside, revealing that when a NEVER is hit by a Maximum Drive, they'll crumble to dust. Domoto, the Metal Dopant, dissolves away as this happens, before Raika dissolves away as well.
*shows Phillip in the Gaia Library, while Maria inject a solution into Daido, who then shoots her*
KR Raika: Refusing to let Daido win, Phillip uses the Gaia Library to dectivate the X-Bicker and disable T2 Eternal Memory's Maximum Drive with Shotaro covering him. Shotaro's unable to hold him back for long, but Maria disables Daido by injecting him with an anti-Necro-Over solution, shooting her in the stomach as Philip destroys the X-Bicker.
*shows Terui transforming into Accel and fighting the Trigger Dopant, while Maria lies dying in Phillip's arms*
KR Raika: With Eternal's Maximum Drive gone, Ryu becomes Accel to defeat the Trigger Dopant in Trial form, while a dying Maria apologizes to Philip for using him and causing all of this chaos. Phillip assures her that he'll stop Daido.
*shows Phillip and Shotaro fighting Eternal before showing the Luna Dopant fighting Kamen Rider OOO*
KR Raika: Managing to find Daido, Shotaro and Philip fight Eternal before becoming Double, but the Luna Dopant drags Double off. Then, Kamen Rider OOO shows up and defeats the Luna Dopant, while Double goes to fight Eternal.
*shows Double transforming into his different forms and fighting Eternal*
KR Raika: Double fights up to Eternal at the top of Futo Tower, using his nine basic forms before going into CycloneJokerXtreme to deliver the final blow.
*shows the T2 Gaia Memories go into Eternal as well as Double fall off of the tower*
KR Raika:But, Eternal uses the Zone Memory once more to summon every T2 Gaia Memory onto his Memory Slots, increasing his power. Eternal activates his another Maximum Drive, absorbing the X-Bicker energy as he sends the blades of the Futo Tower onto Double, sending him to his death.
*Shows Double transforming into CycloneJokerGoldXtreme*
KR Raika At the last second, with the city's support of Double, a gale blows through Fuuto and into the Xtreme Memory, transforming Double into CycloneJokerGoldXtreme. Wait, what?
*camera focuses on Raika*
KR Raika: You've got to be kidding me! The cheering actually gives Double a new form? What the heck?
*shows Double giving Eternal a Rider Kick before Eternal explodes*
KR Raika: (sighs) Anyway, with this power boost, Double flies through the debris towards Eternal, hitting him with an Maximum Drive Rider Kick. In his last moments, Katsumi Daido laughs at feeling his own death again before exploding in a massive fireball.
*shows the Riders and Akiko celebrating*
Later, everyone celebrates the defeat of NEVER, watching the fireworks with Futo Tower as it goes into repairs.
*camera focuses on Raika*
KR Raika: And that was the Double movie! So what did I think of it?
*shows different scenes from the movie*
KR Raika: The fighting in this movie is awesome! Sure they sometimes use wires, but the choreography by Koichi Sakamoto is incredible! Watch the fight scenes yourself, if you don't believe me!
*camera goes back to Raika*
KR Raika: Still, I feel that they could have done more with Shotaro as Kamen Rider Joker, and that whole thing with the cheering powering Double just bothers me. That's why Kamen Rider Double Forever gets a "B+"!
XXXXXXXXXX
Static filled the camera's vision before focusing back onto Raika. "And that's Kamen Rider Double Forever, folks!" Raika finished. "I hoped you like them and if you have any comments or criticism, then please leave it in the reviews."
With that, Raika leaned forward and deactivated the camera before standing up from his seat. "That was nice way of passing the time," Raika thought aloud.
Raika would have continued if it were not for the fact he heard the roar of a motorcycle approaching the Narumi Detective Agency. Raika immediately got out of his seat and ran out of the entrance to see a familiar red bike with white armor on it. 'Ebon!' Raika immediately thought.
The bike stopped "Hey, Ebon how's it..." Raika greeted, but stopped at the sight of Ebon's form, thinking, 'What the heck?'
Ebon's form had changed significantly. He now had black torso armor with black shoulder-pads over a dark crimson bodysuit. His chestplate was trimmed in gray, while on his forearms were black gauntlets with silver armor plating on them and gray bands around the wrists. The fingertips on his gloves were like animalistic claws, and on his legs were black pointed boots that went up to his knees which had silver kneepads. His helmet had round insect-like crimson eyes under vertically grilled visor that ends in two sharp points and above his eyes was a sharp black "V" shaped antenna that looked like jagged lightning bolts. Around his waist was a black belt with a crimson gem as a buckle. On his back was a single black mechanical wing emerging from his right shoulder blade as well as a tattered crimson cape, which was held in place over his shoulders. Strapped to the side of his hip, and hidden by his cloak was his gunblade Howl, which was the only thing that didn't change.
"Ebon?" Raika asked, shocked at the change. "What happened to your armor?"
"My brothers and I had a fall out," was all Ebon said as he dismounted his bike.
Not wanting to dwell into that any longer, Raika sighed and asked, "Alright then, what brings you here to Fuuto?"
Before Ebon could say anything, he and Raika both saw a portal that was made up of a multitude of colors appeared at the end of the street. 'An Advent Portal!' Raika recognized.
Out of the portal came the familiar form of Kamen Rider Lynx. "Hey Raika, I think I..." Lynx greeted, but stopped at the sight of Ebon. She immediately drew a card from her gauntlet and demanded, "Who're you?"
"That's what I was about to ask!" Ebon exclaimed as he drew Howl from its sheath.
The two Riders would have been killing each other if it weren't for Raika getting in between the two Riders. "Guys calm down!" Raika shouted.
"You know him/her?" came from a confused Ebon and Lynx, who pointed at each other.
"Yes I do," Raika answered them both before introducing, "Ebon meet Lynx. Lynx, Ebon."
The two Riders eyed each other suspicious before lowering their guards. Seeing everything was fine now, Raika sighed and asked them both, "So what are you two doing here?"
"Well I came to let you know I figured out who after you," Lynx answered.
"Same here," Ebon nodded.
"You two know who's after me?" Raika asked with surprise. "Do you know who is it?"
"Us," a voice spoke.
The three Riders turned around to see who said that only for a volley of energy bullets to strike at the ground near their feet, which made them back away in fear as smoke arose from the ground. Once the smoke cleared, Ebon, Lynx, and Raika could see who their attackers were. "Kamen Riders?" Lynx asked, shocked at what she was seeing.
Yes they were Kamen Riders. There were three of them, two male and one female. The Riders wore a different kind of armor, which was only recognizable to Raika, who stood in between Lynx and Ebon. 'Ah heck,' Raika mentally groaned.
The Rider in the center was covered by purple over his black bodysuit. He had a purple chest plate with golden trims on the edge as well as round shoulder guards and purple armor covering the biceps and thighs. He also had gauntlets and boots on my forearms and legs, while his head was covered by a ground, purple helmet with a white stripe that went down the middle as well as a white mouth guard. The eyes had a purple slit over it, which was surrounded by a golden visor that was shaped almost like a snake's mouth with 'fangs' framing the visor and mouth guard. Around his waist was what appeared to be a belt similar to the Lost Driver, but instead of a Gaia Memory was a crystal.
The other Rider wore bronze armor over his white bodysuit. He had a smooth chest plate with red stripes on it as well as shoulder guards. He had a cartoonish spider etched onto his bronze gauntlets and boots. His helmet resembled a spider's head with four red eyes over each human eye, and a black mouth guard that seemed to be shaped like a spider's mandibles. Around this Rider's waist was a black belt with a circular, gray buckle.
The third one was a female, who wore a white bodysuit underneath her golden armor. She had a golden breastplate with a white gem in the center, as well as gauntlets, boots, and round shoulder guards. Her helmet was round with two sky blue lenses over her eyes and a black stripe going down the middle. Around her waist was a blue belt with a white gem in the black, rectangular buckle.
"Hello Raika," the center Rider greeted. His voice sounded like it belonged to a young man in his late teens.
Raika looked at the the center Rider with recognition. "Cobra," he said before looking at the bronze and golden Riders and identifying them respectively as, "Arachna, Hikari."
"So nice of you to remember us," Hikari sarcastically spoke with hatred dripping down her late teen voice.
Lynx looked at Raika with a raised eyebrow underneath her helmet. "You know these Riders?"
"They were three Kamen Riders I wrote for my 'Kamen Rider Cobra' story," Raika explained.
"Cobra?" Ebon repeated as he looked at Raika. "You mean that story you gave up last year?"
Raika sheepishly scratched the back of his hooded head. "Not one smartest choices I made."
"You got that right!" Hikari spat at Raika.
"Ever since you discontinued our story, we've been trying to get back at you," Arachna revealed with his deep masculine voice.
"We've first had those cyborgs from Lynx's stories come after you, but that didn't work," Cobra explained. "Then, we sent those ghosts and we thought it would work until Ebon showed up."
"Then you guys got impatient, so you decided to attack me directly and save yourselves the trouble," Raika deduced.
"That's right," Arachna nodded.
"And now we're going to finish you, like you did with our story!" Hikari eagerly exclaimed.
However, before any of those three Riders could charge at Raika, Ebon pulled out his gunblade Howl and fired a round at the ground in front of Cobra, Hikari, and Arachna, making the trio stop. "Hey, you have to go through us first to get to him!" Ebon shouted as he rested Howl on his shoulder.
Raika's eyes widen underneath his visor at Ebon's actions before he heard the call of "Sword Vent!", making him turn to see Lynx walking right next to Raika with her katanas.
"So come and try it!" Lynx challenged as she twirled her katanas in her hands.
"Guys, stay out of this!" Raika told Ebon and Lynx. "There's no need for you to do this! They just want me!"
Looking at Raika, Lynx replied, "Sorry Raika but we can't let you just die. We both got 'War of the Rider Equips,' remember?'"
"Yeah," Ebon nodded in agreement. "And you've still have a lot of stories that I want to read!"
Raika let out a groan of frustration as he pulled out his Gaia Memory. "Fine, but don't blame if you get killed!"
"RAIKA!" Raika's Gaia Memory announced as it changed into a black lightsaber.
Raika then stepped in front of Lynx and Ebon, holding his black lightsaber in front of him, and his fellow Riders followed in suit as they gripped their weapons. "Ebon you get Arachna, Lynx you get Hikari, and I'll take Cobra," Raika ordered.
When hearing who she was facing, Lynx looked at Raika incredulously. "Wait, why do I have to fight her?"
"Because you're a girl," was Raika's response.
Seeing how she wasn't going to win this, Lynx gave in, but swore, "One of these days Raika, I swear I will kill you."
"I thought you wanted to save me, first?" Raika playfully asked Lynx with a grin underneath his mask.
"Look can we just deal with these guys first?" Ebon asked Raika and Lynx, making all three of them focus on the other Riders in front of them.
With that, Raika, Lynx, and Ebon looked at their respective opponents standing across from them. As he charged, a black, cylindrical sword handle popped out of Cobra's left forearm before he pulled it out and activating its purple energy blade. Arachna extended his right arm for a metal, triangular blade shot out of his gauntlet, and he went into a stance preparing for the battle to come. As for Hikari, two razor sharp claws came out of her gauntlets, ready to rip her opponent to shreds.
The two forces of Riders were have a stand off as each Rider stared at their enemy they'll be facing. The air was thick as Raika felt sweat running down his face under his visor and mask. Then came the signal as both Raika and Cobra simultaneously shouted, "CHARGE!" and with that, one side charged at other with each Rider planning to take out their respective opponent.
Cobra slashed his purple energy sword at Raika only for him to block it with his black lightsaber before swinging his weapon at Cobra's left, which the purple Rider blocked. Ebon slashed Howl at Arachna, who dodged before slashing the blade on his right gauntlet at Ebon, but Ebon used used his gunblade to block the slash. Lynx first stabbed both of her katanas at Hikari, but she smacked them away with her right claw before bringing her left one back to stab at Lynx. Fortunately Lynx moved to the side in time to block it before kneeing Hikari in the gut, forcing her back.
Raika slashed again at Cobra, but his black blade was blocked by Cobra's purple blade before Cobra forced Raika back from the fight with a kick to the chest. Cobra charged, swinging his purple energy sword horizontally at Raika, which he was fortunate enough to duck in time before delivering a slash to Cobra's armored chest. Cobra was sent staggering back, but he caught himself and glared at Raika. "C'mon Raika!" Cobra shouted as he charged at him.
The sound of metal rang throughout the air as Lynx's blades and Hikari's claws clanged against each other. Lynx slashed the katana in her right hand at Hikari, who blocked it with her left claw before she lashed her claw at Lynx's shoulder, forcing her back. Hikari went on the offensive as she lunged at Lynx with her claws, but Lynx noticed Hikari's attack and she brought up her katanas in time to block the claws. Soon, the two female Riders found their weapons in a deadlock. "Not bad," Hikari commented.
"Can't say the same for you!" Lynx exclaimed as she brought her armored head back and banged it against Hikari's.
The golden armored female Rider was taken by surprise as she was sent staggering back. Lynx took advantage of this situation as she charged at Hikari and slashed her katanas against her armored chest, each strike hitting its mark as Hikari was forced back with each slash. Lynx stopped her slashes and brought her katanas back to bring the finishing blow, but Hikari lashed out her left leg at Lynx's helmet, which sent her staggering to the side. Once she recovered from the kick, Lynx gripped her katanas before charging Hikari.
As for Ebon, he backed away in time to dodge a slash from Arachna and he ducked another slash before he kicked his opponent back. Ebon, then, charged at Arachna, firing rounds of bullets from Howl only for Arachna to block them with the blade on his right gauntlet. Once reaching Arachna, Ebon slashed Howl down upon his opponent, but Arachna caught Ebon's forearm with his left hand. Ebon's eyes widen as he noticed Aracha's blade slid itself into his gauntlet and was replaced by a mounted gun, which he aimed at Ebon. Ebon soon found an energy blast come out of Arachna's gun and striking him in the chest. "GAH!" he shouted in pain as he was forced back by the blast.
Smoke rose from Ebon's chest as he recovered from the blast and once again charged, using Howl to block the blasts from Arachna's mounted gun. Arachna was about to fire one more blast when Ebon grabbed the barrel of Arachna's gun and lifted it upward for the blast to fir into the air. Ebon brought Howl up to fire at Arachna, but he smacked away Ebon's away just as it was to fire, making a round of bullets strike the ground instead of their intended target. Arachna aimed his gun at Ebon's head, but Ebon moved his head to the side in time before the blast could blow it off.
Arachna would dodge another bullet from Ebon's gunblade before he attempted to raise his own gun at Ebon only for the said Rider to bring Arachna's gun down. Arachna's blast would strike the ground between Ebon's and Arachna's feet, causing an explosion that sent the two Riders flying away from each other. Ebon and Arachna stood up, both a little dizzy from the force of the explosion, but Ebon stood up tall, aiming Howl at Arachna. "Is that all, old man?" Ebon challenged.
Ebon's opponent gritted his teeth underneath his helmet and charged at the black armored Rider, shouting, "I'll teach you!"
While Lynx and Ebon fought their respective Riders, Raika did his best not to get chopped up by Cobra's purple energy sword as he dodged another slash before striking his black lightsaber blade at Cobra's stomach. Cobra brought his purple blade down to block Raika's black blade before he swung it at Raika's shoulder. Fortunately, Raika ducked before slashing at Cobra's chest armor, which forced his opponent back, and wasted no time as he slashed at Cobra's head only for Cobra to block it with his purple blade. This time, the two Riders found their blades pressing against one another as one Rider tried to overcome the other. As this happened, Raika had thought as he looked at Cobra. "Can I ask you this one question?" Raika inquired Cobra as he pressed his blade against Cobra's.
Cobra glared at Raika. "What?" he demanded with anger dripping from his voice.
"Just what would you achieve by killing me?" he asked.
Before Raika could get an answer, Cobra kicked him in the chest, forcing him back, but Raika was lucky enough to raise his black lightsaber in time to block a slash from Cobra. "Satisfaction!" Cobra replied. "Your death will give us the revenge we wanted for so long!"
"And then what?" Raika shouted as he slashed at Cobra only for him to dodge it. "Destroy every story, every Rider? "
"That doesn't matter!" was Cobra's response. "Your death does! And if we have to, we'll kill every Rider in existence?"
"But what about after that?" Raika questioned. "How will you continue to live on with everything around you gone?"
Raika felt Cobra's foot crash into his armored face before Cobra delivered a fist into Raika's stomach, making him fall on one knee. As Raika grasped his stomach in pain with a free hand, Cobra stood over him with his energy sword. "I don't care about that! I'll just be glad to end your life Raika!" Cobra boasted, but was met only with silence from Raika. "What Raika? No quick remark? No retort?"
"Just one thing," Raika smirked as he slammed his free hand to the side of his belt. "Hyper Clock Up!"
"HYPER CLOCK UP!" Raika belt announced.
Before Cobra had time to react, Raika suddenly disappeared from his sight. Unknown to Cobra, Raika had sped up so fast that it looked like his surroundings had completely frozen. Immediately, Raika charged at Cobra, first delivering a couple of slashes to Cobra before kicking him in the chest. Cobra was sent flying back, but he instead remained frozen in time as he was still in the air. Raika then turned his attention towards Arachna and Hikari, who were dealing with Ebon and Lynx, respectively. "Time to deal with them," he told himself.
Raika pressed the button on his Gaia Memory twice, making it announced "RAIKA-MAXIMUM DRIVE!" as the blade retracted into the Memory.
Aiming his Memory at Arachna and Hikari, Raika fired two beams of black energy at them, both beams striking their targets. Once Raika was done with his targets, his buckle announced, "HYPER CLOCK OVER!"
Time sped up around Raika as Cobra was sent flying into a nearby car, while electricity engulfed Arachna and Hikari, making them shake in pain. This gave Lynx and Ebon the chance to kick them towards Cobra before they ran up to Raika's side. "Well, why don't we-ow!" Raika began but stopped when Lynx whacked him over the head with the butt-end of her katana. He glared at her, shouting, "What was that for?"
"And why didn't you do that before?" Lynx demanded. "We wouldn't have to fight them!"
"Let's not worry about that now," Raika said as he put away his Gaia Memory and looking at the three enemy Riders who were now beginning to recover. "It's time to end this."
"Couldn't agree more with you," Ebon nodded before calling, "Howling shadows!"
Lynx sighed before she a card into her Advent Gauntlet. "Final Vent!" came from her Gauntlet as her Advent Beast, the blue mechanical lynx named Aelia, appeared behind her.
Raika grinned as he said, "Rider Kick."
It seemed like Cobra and the other Riders had no way out of this one as they soon found themselves the three Riders' attacks. Arachna found himself encompassed in streams of darkness that shot out the ground before forming a large orb as Ebon's form melted into the shadows, allowing to approach Arachna quickly. As for Lynx, she crossed her katanas into an "X" as her beast, Aelia, sent Lynx shooting forward towards Hikari with a shove of her muzzle. Flying through the air, Lynx twisted her body and began spinning quickly through the air with her blades cutting through it as her body was covered in blue flames. Finally, Raika charged at Cobra as as silver energy began to engulf both his feet.
Reaching Arachna, Ebon's form shot out of the shadows, firing a barrage of bullets from his gunblade, Howl before he slashed at Arachna. Flying towards Hikari, Lynx's blades sliced through her opponent's body, which fell to the ground as Lynx stopped her assault with her two feet halting behind Hikari. Raika leaped into the air and kicked both of his charged feet into Cobra's chest armor, sending him back as Raika landed his two feet onto the ground.
Their attacks hit their targets almost at once as Cobra, Arachna, and Hikari exploded in blazes of smoke. The smoke clear away, revealing three circles of fire where the three fictional Riders once stood. "Man, that was awesome!" Ebon cried out with joy before sheathing Howl.
"I'm just glad it's over," Lynx stated as her katanas disappeared.
"I don't know," Raika stated making his fellow Riders look at him. "I'm getting the feeling this kind of thing will happen in the future."
"We'll be ready for them," Ebon assured as he and Lynx walked up to Raika . "Don't worry about it."
"We'll see." Raika shrugged before looking at his armored hand. "If I'm going to be prepared for anymore attacks, I should probably change my armor. I think I'll go with white."
"Too bad," Lynx commented. "I'll miss the old black armor."
Ebon, on the other hand, simply shrugged. "Doesn't matter with me."
Raika couldn't belt but smile at the company he was with. Though he did not know Ebon and Lynx personally, he felt he could count on them for almost anything. Right now, Raika wanted to enjoy Lynx's and Ebon's company. "Hey, why don't we go to see a movie?" Raika suggested.
The other Riders looked at him, and Lynx asked, "What movie do you want to watch?"
"How about 'Captain America?'" Ebon proposed. "I heard that movie was alright."
Raika smiled underneath his mask. "Why not?"
With that, the three Riders walked through the windy city of Fuuto to the nearest movie theater. It seemed like things were going to be alright, after all...
