Kamen Rider Aikusha
(A/N: I'm more of the by-the-series and make-up-as-much-as-you-can type of fan fiction writer rather than a fanon. Also, I own only the original characters but none of the Kamen Rider items nor the anime/manga series)
4: Anything Goes Rider Team
KR Aikusha and KR Ranma, who labels him as some 'Destroyer of Worlds', duke it out, along with the mysterious arrivals of KR Inuyasha and KR Fukou (Ataru Moroboshi). While on KR Venus' side, Ranma's unwanted harem members look to her as some sort of goddess of love. But then trouble to a T appears——
Appearing from a sudden watery-like white energy field comes a pair of men dressed in black jackets each missing only a sleeve and wearing a silver grasshopper necklace around their necks; one with black hair and a scar on his face and one with reddish hair.
"Oh, so there are Kamen Riders in this universe?" asks the black-haired guy with a scar on his face with interest, he turns to his boss and asks "Shall we test them, along with the new version of our powers, aniki?"
('Aniki' is a Japanese honorable term for an elder brother or a superior)
"Yes," darkly smirks the reddish-haired man, "let's go for it, aibou."
('Aibou' is a Japanese term for 'buddy', 'pal', or 'partner')
Masaru recognizes them as Sou Yaguruma (the reddish-haired man), a.k.a. KR Kick Hopper, and his partner, Shun Kageyama (the scarred black-haired man), a.k.a. KR Punch Hopper, but understands that he didn't bring them here and yet worried they'll attack them… and even more when they mentioned 'new powers'.
The Hoppers calmly say in unison, "Choujin Henshin."
Grasshopper emblems appear on their foreheads, metallic green for Yaguruma and metallic red for Kageyama. Then the two of them are each get wrapped in a man-sized tornado concealing the bodies. The both of them moaning a little are heard, before the sound grows louder. With a mighty bolt of lightning striking the tornadoes, the Hoppers in their individual Choujin Forms are revealed——
Kick Hopper's Choujin body is now a green with an X symbol emblazoned on his chest, he's got a gold belt with and a red crystal buckle and a green wrap loincloth, hanging at the left hip side of it are several green objects of solid geometric shapes. With pointed shoulders and golden grasshopper joint leg-like attachments on his calves make him more intimidating. His helmet is similar to its original counterpart; green with red eyepieces and multi-pointed.
Punch Hopper's Choujin body is now a white with an X symbol emblazoned on his chest, he's got a gold belt with and a green crystal buckle and a white wrap loincloth, hanging at the left hip side of it are several red objects of solid geometric shapes. With pointed shoulders and golden grasshopper joint leg-like attachments on his forearms make him more intimidating. His helmet is similar to its original counterpart; silver with white eyepieces and multi-pointed.
(Kamen Rider Kick Hopper (Ranma Choujin version)— height: 192cm; weight: 93kg; punching power: 3t; kicking power: 6.5t; top running speed: 100m/5.6s; maximum jumping height: 39m, over 89m (Rider Jump); Senses: twice as normal; Defense Rating: 6; Finisher Power: 20t; Rider Kick: 26.5t)
(Kamen Rider Punch Hopper (Ranma Choujin version)— height: 192cm; weight: 93kg; punching power: 3t; kicking power: 6.5t; top running speed: 100m/5.6s; maximum jumping height: 39m, over 89m (Rider Jump); Senses: twice as normal; Defense Rating: 6; Finisher Power: 19t; Rider Punch: 22t)
KR Aikusha gulps, "Oh my god." KR Ryoga asks, "What?" "They've come, I wasn't expecting them to but they're real and they've come." KR Mousse asks, "Who are they?" KR Aikusha answers, "Although alternate enough here to match to your world's version of Kamen Riders, they're the Hoppers; insane but incredibly powerful Kamen Riders who's only M.O. is to fight. If you're wise, you'd do your best to get out of their way or find the right methods to defeat them before they defeat you."
KR Kuno charges in first——
With a single punch, the Choujin version of KR Punch Hopper brings KR Kuno out of his transformation and into a gorily bloody pulp. The now de-transformed Tatewaki Kuno then plummets until he hits a girder sticking out the side of the building under construction.
Everyone watching this gasp in horror, sure Kuno is easily winnable for most 'superhuman' marital artists but he would usually grunt out that he could still go on and he wouldn't be this sort of mess. But now this time he isn't saying anything, much less show much signs of life.
KR Inuyasha exclaims, "Those two are radiating extreme lust for battle!" KR Fukou starts looking wobbly allover, "I don't feel too hot all of the sudden."
KR Mousse then goes next, hoping to try his luck——
Unfortunately, the result was the same with Kuno; the Choujin version of KR Kick Hopper delivers a violet roundhouse kick to the young bespectacled Chinese man's helmeted head, forcing him to de-transform back to his human self, only bloodier and more beat up, and to crash against one of the girders poking from the 'ground'.
Surprisingly, Shampoo runs to her severely wounded childhood friend's side "Mousse!" He doesn't respond, his remains unconscious.
KR Ryoga could not stomach the horror that's befallen them; these Hoppers are doing more than beating the stuffing out of them—— they're beating the life's blood out of them with simple attacks! He grows depressed at the fact that he might not win against them either.
Then he unleashes a mighty red burst of energy from his hands "Lion's Roar Shot!"
('Shishi Hokodan')
But the Hoppers had seen his chi arising around him and prepared to counterattack——
"Rider Jump."
They bounced from the girder pillars behind them…
"Rider Punch."
"Rider Kick."
With an energized kick and an energized punch, the two newly Choujin energized and redirected KR Ryoga's own attack back at him!
He, too, is de-transformed and horribly defeated!
The Hoppers are frightening and powerful!
KR Ranma exclaims, "N- n- no… no way… that Kick Hopper guy just defeated Mousse like he was nothing! And his buddy, Punch Hopper, looked like he might've killed Kuno like it was easy as pie! And poor Ryoga's Shishi Hokodan is not powerful enough!"
KR Fukou gasps, "And you guys are supposed to be some of the most powerful martial artists in Nerima!"
KR Inuyasha growls "These bastards are ferocious and deadly, anything you guys in the Nerima district is child's play compared to my line of work! But these guys are even more serious than you are!"
KR Aikusha looks at Ranma and says, "I did try to warn you all."
The Choujin Hoppers chuckle darkly at the four remaining Riders.
KR Aikusha knows he has to fight hard against the Hoppers if he needed to save the others, but he's having difficulty when KR Ranma is blaming him for bringing such characters to his world while trying to fight them. But much to his shock, they blocking even his rapidfire Kachu Tenchin Amuguriken punches. KR Aikusha struggles away from the attacking KR Ranma to get to assist Inuyasha, who ignores his help and advice, which later causes him to lose his Tetsusaiga. KR Fukou nearly loses his balance and is easily knocked aside along with KR Inuyasha.
After the four of them were battered into a sore mess, with KR Aikusha still standing, and in front, and KR Ranma still holding onto his Choujin Form, the Choujin Hoppers let out a unified sigh of boredom——
"Ohh… you're tougher from the first three, but you still stink."
Then they punch and kicked the four off the roof!
"NO!" scream a lot of the ladies as they saw their champions fall.
When the two roguish Riders look below, they say "Still alive. No need to bother."
KR Venus growls at the sight, her white armor turns pink once more, "That does it! No more Ms. Nice Girl!"
KR Venus hops over to the roof where the Hoppers are standing in a single bound and points to them aggressively, "You."
They turn to her and Choujin Punch Hopper says "Look, aniki; a female Rider!" Choujin Kick Hopper nods "Yeah, I wonder if she can back up her gutsy approach."
KR Venus says "I'm going to do more than that, you fallen grasshopper bastards!"
Cologne asks in a confused manner, "Fallen?" The onlookers look at each other, unsure of what may happen or what she's talking about, and asking themselves.
Choujin Kick Hopper scoffs at her, "I guess you never been on the Path of Hell."
A lot of the onlookers shiver in fear.
KR Venus hisses "I guess you never been against the babysitter."
"OOO!" goes the on-looking crowd.
Choujin Kick Hopper says "If you're worried about your boyfriend and those little children of Riders, don't be; they're still alive."
KR Venus walks up to them, while they get ready to counterattack, but she draws Venus Cards from her card holster with women and female versions of Kamen Riders on each of them before swiping them over her buckle——
"I am going to kick you back to your original dimension!"
"Venus Hero Call: Kamen Rider——"
"Ichigo!"
"Nigo!"
"Kick Hopper!"
"Punch Hopper!"
In a flash of light, four women appear between KR Venus and the Choujin Hoppers——
Two of these women are dressed similarly to the two prior to their transformation yet physically similar to them save for feminine looks; the female Yaguruma has red medium-length hair and has a certain tomboyish charm higher than Akane's and the female Kageyama has black hair in a ponytail and an elegant charm like a fallen princess of sorts.
One of the other women summoned by KR Venus on her right is wearing a white jacket and pants with a green shirt. Her black hair is medium-length and wavy, if she smiled it would make her very beautiful.
The last woman summoned by KR Venus beside the former is wearing a black leather jacket over a green blouse and blue jeans, along with rose red neckerchief around her neck. Her hair is black and shoulder-length placed in a ponytail signifying that she may be a bike racer.
"Oh look, aneki!" says the female Kageyama, Suzumu, "Male counterparts of us with different powers. Let's fight them."
(A/N: 'Aneki' is a female form of 'Aniki', meaning 'big sister')
"Venus summoned us for that purpose, aibou," the female Yaguruma, Sora, "Let's show our those bad boys why girls rule."
Choujin Kick Hopper looks at the female Yaguruma and asks KR Venus "May I ask what is the meaning of this?" KR Venus says, "What I said earlier is not a threat; it's the promise… of the worried caretaker!"
The wavy-haired woman frowns a bit, "You need to be taught a lesson, you big boys you." the ponytail biker woman says "And it'll be justified for your actions!"
Two robotic grasshoppers hop several times until they land in the female Hoppers' hands as they flip their metallic belt buckles down and white-and-red metallic belts with red fans in the central parts of the buckles appear around the other summoned women's waists.
Together, the four summoned women call out "Henshin!"
As the female Rider summons called out——
The two with Typhoon Belts had their belts' fans spin fast until FLASH! Those specific two's outfits changed; they're now in figure-hugging black-green bodysuits with raised up collars, vertical white stripes running down the sides and limbs, and green triangular marks on the back similar to wings. They both have green chest armor and red scarves around their necks.
The head of the woman is now concealed in a green insectoid helmet with a small red gem-like light between the antennae and the bulbous eyes are glowing red. Covering the lower half of her face is a mouthplate that resembles grasshopper mandibles with sharp jaws. She is also sporting silver gloves and boots. She is the female Kamen Rider Ichigo!
(Kamen Rider 1 (female version)— name: Kimiko Hongo; transformation tool: Typhoon Belt; height: 170cm; weight: 65kg; punching power: 3t; kicking power: 10t; max. running speed: 100m/3s; max. jumping height: 25m; senses: 4x; defense rating: 6; vehicle: New Cyclone (motorcycle); Rider Punch: 19.5t; Rider Kick: 30t)
The wavy-haired woman's helmet is similar to that of Kamen Rider 1's, but has a white stripe running down the center. She is also sporting blood-red gloves and boots. She is the female version of Kamen Rider Nigo!
(Kamen Rider 2 (female version)— name: Sumiko Ichimonji; transformation tool: Typhoon Belt; height: 170cm; weight: 65kg; punching power: 3.5; kicking power: 10t; max. running speed: 100m/3.2s; max. jumping height: 11.5m; senses: 3x; defense rating: 6; vehicle: New Cyclone II (motorcycle); Rider Punch: 19.5t; Rider Kick: 30t)
The other two women, Sora and Suzumu, have blue energy hexagon fields green technology-based armor versions of the Choujin male counterparts. They are the female version of the original Zector Hoppers!
(Kamen Rider Kick Hopper (female version)— name: Sora Yaguruma; height: 178cm; weight: 70kg; punching power: 3t; kicking power: 6.5t; top running speed: 100m/5s; maximum jumping height: 42m, over 92m (Rider Jump); senses: twice as normal; defense rating: 6; finisher power: 20t; Rider Kick: 26.5t)
(Kamen Rider Punch Hopper (female version)— name: Suzumu Kageyama; height: 178cm; weight: 70kg; punching power: 3t; kicking power: 6.5t; top running speed: 100m/5s; maximum jumping height: 42m, over 92m (Rider Jump); senses: twice as normal; defense rating: 6; finisher power: 19t; Rider Punch: 22t)
The Choujin Hoppers charge in and jump high, but their armored female counterparts jump higher and move faster, which shock them and they land their signature blows to their male counterparts' transformed heads. As they come hurtling back to the high floor the arena was designated, KR 1 and 2 deliver striking blows to the already stunned Hoppers.
The little battle rages on, until the five ladies prepare their five-part finisher——
KR Kick Hopper (Sora) and KR Punch Hopper (Suzumu) flips the legs of their Hopper Zectors, "Rider Jump." And then they jump high, the other female Riders charge in for their striking blows——
"RIDER JUMP!"
"Rider Kick."
"RIDER KICK!"
"Rider Punch."
"RIDER PUNCH!"
KR Venus' pink energy winged heart symbol appears before her and she jumps through it, energizing her Venus Kick!
KR 1 (Kimiko) does a jump kick while KR 2 (Sumiko) rushes in quickly with a mighty haymaker!
Together the five Rider girls shout out in unison, "Quintuple Rider Finish!"
The five blows land with an approximate of 143 tons of force on the Choujin Hoppers, changing their selves out of their Choujin forms while being sent flying across the horizon.
After being beat up by their female counterparts, the male Kageyama smiles "Aniki, I think I'm in love." The male Yaguruma stoically says, "I like my female counterpart too, aibou."
Changing out of her armor, the female Kageyama smiles "Aneki, is it just me or was my male counterpart kind of cute?" Also coming out of her armor, the female Yaguruma shrugs "It was fun with them too, aibou."
Taking their helmets off, Kimiko and Sumiko look to KR Venus, who takes off her own helmet and says "Go get the injured and follow me, we're taking them to Dr. Tofu's clinic." Kimiko looks at the injured males of the NWC and nods "Right away, Seki-san."
Noriko jumps down to find the young man she cares for so much for so many years and the three guys that also got beat up by the Hoppers.
Down below, Hanto, Chiaki, a stunned Akane, a worried Lum, Kagome Higurashi, and Kogane search for Ataru, Ranma, Inuyasha, and the mysterious Masaru too.
KR Fukou was lucky enough he was virtually indestructible for an ordinary human and even tougher when in his Kamen Rider form, but right now he's exhausted and close to blacking out. He transforms out of his Rider Form to recover. KR Ranma may be tough and even more so as a Choujin, but the blows the two Choujin Hoppers dealt to him was all he could take before he was forced back into human form upon impact into the pavement. KR Inuyasha is not one to be taken down really easily, no matter what his blood was set at the moment or whether his opponents were yokai or humans or whatever, but the KR Hoppers took him by surprise and now he is nearly beaten to a pulp like those other Choujin.
KR Aikusha is no exception compared to the other three that tried to kill him earlier; KR Ranma prevented him from drawing any of his Rider Cards, KR Fukou was horrified by the Hoppers' brutality and that was he could do in that distraction, and KR Inuyasha just shoved him aside… this led to their unified if not inevitable defeat as he figured earlier.
Currently, his armor has become pale; his armor and scarf turned pure white as snow. Curious about how his armor is now almost blank, he looks to his Aikusha Watcher upon himself——
(Kamen Rider Aikusha, Rest Form— height: 190cm; weight: 90kg; punching power: 2.5t (normal), 5t (max.); kicking power: 4.5t (normal), 7.5t (max.); max. jumping height: 16m; max. running speed: 100m/6.5s; senses: 5km; defense rating: 4; finisher power: 12t (normal), 20t (max.))
He reads about his Rest Form on his watch, "'This white-colored form is activated when the wearer is seriously exhausted or injured.' Well, given the state I'm in after our run-in with the Hoppers, I'm not surprised." He then lays back and deactivates his armor, hopefully so he'd rest long enough to recover faster.
Remembering the other three, he turns to see them battered and scarred in pride laying on their backs in great pain. Ranma, however, is struggling to get up and finish Masaru off while he is down.
"If you're some big bad destroyer as Nerima's best male fighter has proclaimed," grunts out Inuyasha, "Then you must be either out of whack or you're not that strong at all." Ataru nods, "Yeah… or perhaps they predicted wrong about you. Hell, I'm a genius at being a victim of it."
A wounded Ranma growls out "Shut up… I've got a destroyer… to dispose of…" but as soon as he was about to finish a downed Masaru, he loses consciousness and falls face-first into a nearby puddle, splashing them both, changing Ranma into Ranma-chan.
Shockingly, to Ataru and Inuyasha's surprise, the cold water has affected Masaru too——
Masaru has become female too; she lost a lot of centimeters, as well as her musculature in build former male build. Her garments for this world couldn't hide the HUGE amount of cleavage she now displays nor her perfect curves. Her now feminine face is certainly of royal-like elegance.
Masa-chan (Masaru as a girl) touches Ranma-chan's head and turns it so she would be able to breath and not drown in the puddle. And then, succumbing to her injuries, Masa-chan blacks out. Inuyasha reverts to his black-haired human self and faints too, along with Ataru.
Masa-chan wakes up in someplace that resembles a small clinic, she figures that someone had picked her up and took her there to get her wounds treated, that and she's probably Dr. Tofu's clinic. She can tell she's still female because she can feel her heavy assets.
'Dr. Tofu's clinic?!' screams her thoughts, she realizes that if possibly that other injured are here too, that will possibly mean that Kasumi got the news that Ranma-chan is injured and if she comes, Dr. Tofu will probably go into his love-crazed goofiness and break something or mistake something for something else! She mentally cries out 'Norikoromi! Save me!"
Much to her apparent horror, she spots Dr. Tofu with Kasumi! But this time Kasumi is looking horribly worried and Dr. Tofu is not going goofy.
"Dr. Tofu!" calls a warm-hearted woman's voice from nearby Masa-chan, "Shiranai-san has wakened up!"
Masa-chan looks toward her left to find Noriko and someone resembling Nabiki, except she's got longer hair with a green lock and a pair of warm green eyes.
'Green eyes, long hair with a green lock, kind persona, yet looks like Nabiki; it's got to be Nabiki possessed by Noriko's female version of Deneb' thinks Masa-chan, 'of course this still makes her quite the better looker than before and not being malicious and unbearable is a big turn-on.'
Dr. Tofu looks over Masa-chan and says "Wow, Noriko-san's healing techniques work pretty good." Masa-chan sighs "That's good to hear, Doctor."
"Ano…" says Noriko "I don't know how to say this, but I think it would be better to not look in the mirror." Akane, who is painting her purple arm with a skin tone medical masking makeup, nods "Yeah, it may be a real shock to you."
Not adhering to the words of others, Masa-chan turns to a full-body mirror to look at herself——
She is fully healed but her clothes have been exchanged for feminine clothes, she is adorned with jewelry, and her face has makeup on it. Her cleavage and thighs are exposed and her hair is placed into an attractive wave to the left.
Hearing Noriko snicker behind her, Masa-chan sighs to vent her unborn anger away and says, "I take it that you had a part in this, Noriko-chan?" Noriko says "I bought the jewelry, Shampoo-chan did the makeup, Ukyo-chan did your lovely new hairdo, and Kogane-chan fixed the dress since it was originally too big for someone of your figure in all of Nerima." Ukyo nods "Yeah, sugar, you have to admit; as a woman you make one hot chick." Shampoo giggles, "If our world, mystery man make great sister to Amazon tribe."
Masa-chan blinks "Who exactly told them?" Soun, looking away from the now womanly Masa-chan, answers her "After you were injured, Takeshi-san explained everything and everyone who wasn't terribly and watching the events that took place told the rest. So we've read your Adapt Card's description, although it was in English, and it turns out that if you were born here in our dimension you would've fallen in the Niángníquán too."
Kasumi says "When we heard from Noriko-chan that Ranma said your were a monster who's come to destroy our world after killing him, we were concerned that someone may have prophesized about you wrongly." Although the bandages over his face muffle his voice, Mousse says to them "After the Hoppers were dealt with by Noriko-san, we agreed that you are not some emissary of destruction." Ryoga nods "Yeah, how could someone so gentle like you be a destroyer of worlds when we've only seen you purify man-sized Akumajin?"
Spotting Kogame Higurashi, Masa-chan asks her "How is your silver-haired bad boy doing?" Kagome says, "He's a tough one. But he'll live." Shinobu, Ataru's childhood friend, says "And the hopeless guy is already walking."
Chiaki asks, "Where on earth did you pick up those four?"
"Listen punk," growls Inuyasha "if you want to get on my nerves, you must have a death wish."
Kagome says "Inuyasha… sit boy."
Inuyasha gulps, "Whoops!"
The well-known enchanted beads, which are hidden under his modern shirt, around his neck glow before WHOOSH! KA-BANG! He crashes face-first into the floor!
Masa-chan goes over to the stove, takes a kettle of hot water and his clothes of this world, and pours hot water over herself in the bathroom, coming out to the male Masaru again. He then pours some on Ranma-chan's face——
Ranma gets up, screaming in pain from the hot water "OWWW!"
Seeing Masaru before him, Ranma gets into gear to kick Masaru's rear!
Everyone prevents him from getting any further, but it is easier with the strength of Akane's Akumajin arm. Akane is marveled by her transformed arm, "Well, at least we know one upshot with having the arm of an Akumajin."
Ranma growls, "He's a destroyer. A prophet with a mid-brimmed hat, overcoat, and sunglasses foresaw him coming and warning me!" Masaru growls, "Who are ya calling a destroyer?"
Chiaki taunts Ranma, "At least he's not an okama like someone here we know."
Ranma turns at Chiaki and yells out, "I AM NOT A TRANSVESTITE!"
Uncle Takeshi comes by with a slipper in hand and whaps Ranma and Masaru on the head, respectively, and says "This argument is pointless and Masaru-kun knows it!" He turns to Masaru and asks "Would you please explain to him, Masaru-kun?"
"Let's think over the logic, Ranma-san;" says Masaru "if I was some destroyer of worlds, how come I didn't kill you when we first met and whatever I did aren't enough to smash or split the planet in half? Also, how was it possible for the Choujin version of the Hoppers were able to kick my butt to my weakened form?"
Ranma blinks, "Huh?"
Everyone explains everything while they were drifting into loss of consciousness, especially the Choujin Hoppers loss to their battle with Noriko and four of her Riders.
"How was it that four men were defeated by two? Huh?" asks Noriko, regarding the Hoppers.
"Okay," growls Ranma, "we give up! What is it?"
Inuyasha says, "It couldn't be bloodlust, they've got plenty of passion for fighting. So what else could it be?"
"Yeah," asks Ataru, "What is it?"
Cologne asks, "If the 4 Choujin, the dog-eared young man, the unfortunate man, and you couldn't win against those two, then how was it possible for your ally, Noriko, a.k.a. Kamen Rider Venus, and her four summons to be able to defeat them with ease?"
"Honestly, you guys…" groans Masaru before exclaiming the answer, "it's teamwork!"
Everyone's eyes widen in shock!
Uncle Takeshi nods, "Yes, if the three of you boys had put your differences aside at the moment… and unite forces with Masaru-kun… you might have been able to overcome the Choujin Hoppers."
Ukyo realizes "Of course, while Mousse and Kuno the jerkass were easily defeated by one of those Hoppers individually, Ryoga's ultimate finishing move was no match because they've combined forces to defeat him in a counterattack!"
Uncle Takeshi berates the three that fought him——
"Ataru-kun, you just took what Ranma-kun heard without thinking what else he could be despite your past encounters with extraterrestrials but then felt faint upon witnessing the aura of brutality of the Hoppers and couldn't focus your Aura of Discord toward them."
"Ranma-kun, you were so determined to annihilate Masaru-kun without giving a second thought after seeing how strong he could really be. You were always cool and controlled when analyzing your opponents despite your cockiness. In all the confusion you've tried to take out all three of them single-handedly while Masaru was trying to save your life."
"Inuyasha-kun, you eased up a little after noticing that Masaru-kun wasn't a big danger to everyone as Ranma-kun said, you alone figured that Masaru-kun wasn't a monster like those you've fought and killed before. But against the Hoppers you decided flying solo because you thought the other three would just get in your way."
"However, Masaru-kun was trying to assist you all because he worried for you three, but none of you accepted his help because of your individual problems at the moment."
Uncle Takeshi continues, "Noriko-chan came to defeat them because they've hurt Masaru-kun and you three, she knew of the teamwork of the Hoppers as well as their methods of operation and power, so she decided to fight fire with fire by summoning female counterparts of their original Rider selves to hold off their attacks and maneuvers while summoning two more female Riders to assist them and her, because they know everything they knew, so the five of them could win."
"Yes," says Cologne, understanding the problem "it is necessary for warriors to have power and skills, but what is even more important is teamwork and understanding of one another."
Masaru sighs, "Right now there's another question in mind, the history of this world and how it came to be since the manga and anime series of themselves ended."
The large group talked about everything as possible——
It turns out that Ataru Moroboshi has in fact married Lum years ago, but one the 10th day when they were first pitted against each other for the freedom of the Earth, a meteor crashed onto Ataru but he survived due to the power of the legendary Stone of Discord which grants incredible power to negate his bad luck when transformed and places it onto others. Aside from making friends and having his historical misadventures, he also answers calls to defend the Earth and innocents from Makuuchuju, which Masaru defines as the extraterrestrial version of KR Hibiki's Makamou. Other individuals close to him in his town were chosen to use attempted copies of the Stone he carries in his body to help defend innocents from the Makuuchuju.
Kagome explained that she and her friends from 7 centuries ago have been sealed up in a crystal prison miles away from the shrine. To them it felt like just 7 hours, but when they came out… they felt the same way she did when she entered their original time. So she and Inuyasha worked and habilitated them to fit in with the new modern society and era. However, Inuyasha noticed that there are plenty of evil and super-empowered youkai still left; hiding in the shadows, and found the magical and mysterious Human Heartstone which gave him his Kamen Rider powers to fight them and the ability to turn 100 percent human whenever he'd wanted to, which isn't that often except in public. In a way, he still got what he wanted with Kikyo centuries ago.
They often bump into Ranma and his own 'friends' on occasion, but they're not really the best of understanding of each other.
Then Nodoka brings up another matter——
Nodoka Saotome sighs "It certainly would be sad if my son would have died——" Hanto asks "Then you'd wouldn't have any grandchildren?" The mother of Ranma nods, "Yes." "Why do you want grandchildren so soon, Saotome-obasan? Are you dissatisfied with Ranma-oniisan?" asks Hanto.
"NO!" cries out Nodoka, even dropping her sword along with her surprising outburst. She cries some more as she explains, "I was never once dissatisfied with how Ranma turned out! He is kind, skilled, honorable, and a number of other things that make me so proud to be his mother! Learning about his duties as a Choujin years ago has only made me more proud of him! He's putting his own well-being on the line to protect others! He is not perfect and he may be cursed to turn into a girl because of cold water, but I do not care! He is the perfect son to me!"
"… Mom?" whispers out Ranma. He had never heard his mother talk like this before. She's actually proud of him? She thought so highly of him even after she saw the craziness of his life?
Genma could not believe it; his wife actually doesn't mind their son is considered to him to be unmanly.
Masaru asks "I take you would never carry out the contract to have Ranma to commit seppuku because of his transformation curse, and yet aren't above to scaring your good-for-nothing bastard husband to death at means of threatening bodily harm to him frequently because of him not raising your son right?" Nodoka nods sadly, "It is true, I could never force my baby to do that. For my husband however, since he won't hit back, I can easily harm him!"
"Then why do you wish for so many grandchildren?" asks Noriko.
"Two reasons;" sniffs Nodoka, wiping some tears leaking out from her eyes, "one is selfish while the other was more for Ranma's sake: my own parents died when I was young. I was left alone with only servants to really spend any time with me. I was never any good at making friends since I had to act as a person befitting my status. I grew up so lonely. I've then met Kimiko on the streets we became friends easily after she was on the streets without a family. Then she got married to Soun Tendou, leading me to do so and have more children so I wouldn't be alone anymore. When I married Genma and had Ranma, I was so happy. I wanted to have more children, but then Genma brought up that training trip and took Ranma from me. Over 14 more years of me being alone, this time with barely anyone since Genma had stolen from about everyone nearby and we had to lay low. I could only wait and hope that Ranma would have many friends growing up."
"So you wanted many grandchildren not only so you wouldn't be alone anymore, but also so Ranma would not be alone either," finishes Masaru. "Yes," shivers Nodoka, feeling better to finally say that, "I didn't want my baby boy to be lonely like I was." "Why haven't you said it before?" asks Ranma. She answers, "I had to be the proper housewife, I couldn't say things to upset my husband. Besides, he said it was for honor." "A logical idea," nods Uncle Takeshi.
Doing his best Souji Tendo impression, Masaru says to the human adults "A loving mother accepts her children regardless. True honor comes from trust and respect for those around you. Also true honor can never be earned by doing bad and/or wrong things, just to satisfy the family pride of the clan."
After hearing that, a lot of the saner ones more affiliated with Ranma understand that honor should never be used just as an excuse to get away with any reason. Kogane is amazed by the Masaru said it.
Soon the large group (3 groups out of four known in different stories) finally gets to discuss about this prophet that foresaw Masaru coming, and said KR Aikusha would kill Ranma and destroy this world…
"Did this Ichirou guy have any suspicious features?" asks Masaru.
"Tan overcoat, mid-brimmed hat, and cheap shades ain't specific enough for you?!" exclaims Ranma angrily.
Masaru gets upset and exclaims out "Trillions of certain characters are not easy to determine; I don't remember anything before I've met Norikoromi and I am not omniscient. So I need something like a symbol on his clothes, a specific item on person, ANYTHING!"
Hanto looks into Masaru's Aikusha Booker in book mode, and finds what appears to be a colored manga page showing Ranma talking to someone "Is this him, Ranma-nii?" Ranma nods, "Yeah, that's him."
Looking at the next page of the book, Nabiki Green notices a slight smirk of Ichirou in the next scenes when the Ranma in the book was gone—— "He tricked Ranma-san!"
Everyone looked at Nabiki Green in confusion, "Eh?"
Nabiki Green explains, "According to Nabiki Tendou's skills, she can recognize the overconfident smirk of a master of lies. Besides, Ichirou was thinking it to himself; 'The first fool to kill Aikusha'."
Ranma grimaces and then quickly huddles into a corner with a strong aura of gloom, "I've been tricked."
Masaru spots the belt buckle around Ichirou's waist, "That silver belt buckle reminds me of the ones that the agents and kaijin of Shocker wear on the Kamen Rider shows. But its eagle is holding a hammer with 'JUST' written upon it."
Masaru says "Perhaps he works for an organization called 'Just-Shocker'." Uncle Takeshi frowns, "and apparently he wants you dead."
Masaru then says, "Although unlikely, but if possible… what if someone finds another way to revive the Akumajin King?" Everyone in the room gasps in shock! Ranma asks "Another way? What other way exactly?"
Looking into Masaru's Booker, Hanto asks "Supposing that we've stopped Akane from becoming the Akumajin Queen for now, is it likely that there's another way for the Akumajin King to rise?"
Happosai, for once acting gravely serious, says "It's unknown to us, but according to the Choujin Chronicles, once the Akumajin King awakens, every warrior who isn't in possession of a Choujin aura or even have come close to falling into corruption will succumb to his curse and turn them into Akumajin that won't be purified, but killed." Remembering the Chronicles, Cologne adds in "Once the Akumajin Queen mates with him, they will rule the Earth for 5,000 years." Myoga the flea demon says, "The Yokai and aliens are getting restless because of this fate, this one horror."
Akane looks at her cursed arm, "What are our options to prevent me from ending humanity?"
Kuno says "Akane, my beloved tigress, I, Tatewaki Kuno, will purify you before you before——" Ryoga interrupts "You big idiot! I can't believe you forgot that that won't work unless she's a full Akumajin!" Ukyo nods, "Which we cannot risk, you jerkass!"
Akane sighs, "Ranma's got a lot of great fiancés to choose from, but what have I got to compete with them?" "Akane," says Nabiki Green, "you make sound like almost you're going to——" She gasps in realization, "NO! SUICIDE IS NOT A GOOD IDEA!"
Masaru nods "What's going to stop the next woman similar to you to become cursed with the mark you bear on your hand?" Akane sighs, "So death is a big 'no'. So much for that option."
Shampoo asks, "How about remove Violent Girl's demon arm?" Akane screams and shields her transformed arm protectively, "Amputation?! NO! NOT MY ARM! Daddy, don't let them take my arm!"
Noriko nods, "Yeah, even if we were to do that task, we don't know how far into her it already reached internally." Masaru says "It could go as far as to poison her heart with Akumajin aura."
Seeing how serious it could get in the future, a panicky Akane screams "TAKE IT! TAKE IT! TAKE THE ARM!"
Mousse shakes his head, "We've seen Akumajin regenerate from conventional weaponry. While Akane's human side won't re-grow a new arm, the Akumajin Queen arm could regenerate into a full body of its own eventually and carry on the task it is given." Ranma nods "So amputation is not a good idea either."
Chiaki asks, "Well the Akumajin Queen needs to be a virgin for her complete transformation, so intercourse might be our best option."
But before Soun and Genma could push Ranma toward Akane, Nodoka's blade is felt at their throats. She coldly says, "My baby boy deserves someone who would love, respect, and trust him for himself and independently. For years she hardly seemed to qualify and your view on honor is more likely to lead to becoming Akumajin for all I could figure."
Masaru groans and shouts, "NOW'S NOT THE TIME FOR THAT!"
In a mountain cave, big enough to be a medium-sized room in a luxury hotel, looked oddly in order, as if something was supposed to be placed here. The only exception to this was an opening made by mortal tools years ago and small stones and rocks lying around from cracks in the ceiling. At the other end of the room, there are some sort of stone crafts, a pair of 4-sided blade-like pillars, both with strange inscriptions all over them, placed a good distance away from each other, and a podium-like stone, coffin-shaped and risen to waist-level. The podium has what looked like a dark plaque on it and an ancient tan tag on top. The room itself was quiet, except for the sound of water dripping coming from somewhere in the room and the wind howling outside…
A woman in a green leather jacket and hot pants with emerald sunglasses stands before the podium. He too is wearing a Just-Shocker belt, with the buckle shown over his abdomen.
The mysterious woman in green says "The fool, Ichirou, may have lost his memories as did Aikusha, but we sure haven't. It's a good thing he still possesses the motivation to have the boy dead, but we need the evils in every dimension so Just-Shocker will rule all."
She pulls out of her jacket a malachite-studded purse, "Who needs just the Akumajin Queen to awaken the Akumajin King?" she pulls out a tissue with something purple soaked in it, "A little bit of blood from her transformed arm ought to be good enough."
Ichirou appears and asks, "What are you doing, Midoriya?" "I'm reviving the Akumajin King, Ichirou" smirks the woman, whose name is Midoriya "What else?" "You're not the Akumajin Queen!" argues the 'prophet'. Midoriya says, "Ever since you've lost your memories of your real self, your job is to lie to the Riders of the other dimensions about Aikusha, mine is to speed up the process of our organization's plans. I have already seen the birth of a Makuuchuju version of Naraku as well as the youkai-hybrid's resurrection."
Ichirou vanishes as he came asking himself "What organization?"
Midoriya places the tissue onto the podium, which then begins to glow with extreme dark-purple energies and rumble violently, she steps away and says "Let this world be filled with darkness, bring fear into this world!" She laughs maniacally as she disappears.
The dark podium explodes, revealing a large humanoid being rising from it. He is heavily muscular in body build and has a very bearish face. The black fur on his back looks like he's wearing a furry coat or jacket, his hands and feet have sharp curved claws, the teeth he bares are sharp and carnivore-like, hanging from his belt is a sheathed katana with claw marks on the sheath, around his neck is a necklace of fangs and a single jewel, on his wrists and ankles are ornate bands of gold, on the top of his right fist is a black kanji for 'king', and on his chest is an golden symbol. This is the Akumajin King!
"There's no Queen," growls the Akumajin King "without her, the Evil Sun will rise since the ritual's gone awry!" Then in his wrath, he lets out a mighty roar!
The pillars glow with more dark purple energy, then the energy pulsates through the pillars, sending bolts from one pillar to the other and back. The inscriptions on the podium also glowed a grim black and then they morphed into Chinese writing and then into Japanese kanji and then finally into English writing before disappearing.
But what the Akumajin King nor the two Just-Shocker agents that were in that chamber did not know is that two small entities have found their way in that location some time ago and has heard everything.
These entities are a small bird of sky-blue energy with small blue solid pieces within its body and a tiny green mechanical turtle.
After hearing the conversation between the Just-Shocker agents, they stealthily trekked down and find Midoriya awakening the King before vanishing.
Just as the inscriptions disappear and the pillars pulse with dark purple energy, the ground began to shake, getting the two little ones a sign to leave.
The blue energy bird picks up the turtle robot with its 'feet' and flies the two of them out through the exit.
They are halfway up when all the sudden, the glowing pillars behind the Akumajin King shoot bolts at each other at the same time, colliding at the center and clashing with a burst of power. After a dark flash, a miasma-like phenomenon with a color dark than that of the usual Akumajin color is formed, getting bigger of it like a volcanic eruption.
The two spying entities reach the cave's mouth and began flying out!
They finally reach the exit, with sunlight and fresh air. However, that doesn't stop them from fleeing from the scene, since the ground was still rumbling from whatever chaos that was unleashed with the King.
Whatever Midoriya just did was anything but good.
Another 2 minutes of flying and they reached the middle of the forest, a few miles away from Nerima. The turtle robot and energy bird look back at the mountains, seeing the wildlife panicking and also flying the scene.
Somewhere in a shrine near Tokyo, the black-haired monk somewhere in his late 20s, known to one of the families living there as Miroku, is walking around to observe the scenery. That was until he suddenly froze in place, his holy senses going wild. "W-What is this?"
His lovely wife, Sango, steps out of the house and asks her husband "Ohoshi-sama, what is it? What's wrong?" "I'm sensing something," gasps her husband, looking as if death is before him "something which should have never occurred!"
A young teenager and his girlfriend come up to the shrine, looking at the miasma rising from a mountain from afar.
The young man, Souta Higurashi, calls to the monk "Miroku-san! A dark purple cloud is rising and spreading towards the Nerima district!"
"We... we have to do something!" exclaims Sango, "Kagome-chan and Inuyasha are there!" Miroku nods "You're right, otherwise... the consequences would be unthinkable."
They all knew that Inuyasha and the Choujin have got to do something, even if it'll help at the slightest, to undo what should not have done…
Back at the mountains, a geyser of black power bursts straight upward out of the high rock, like a beacon of evil. It's like someone has shook up a giant bottle of champagne too much and then popped the cork.
Back at Dr. Tofu's place…
Suddenly, Cologne and Kagome shriek loudly!
Masaru asks, "What is it, Kagome-san, Cologne-baasan?"
Kagome says, "I feel four intense evil auras, and yet the forth one is a lot stronger than the others!" Cologne grunts out, "Me too."
Kuno asks, "Why is there a dark violet colored sun rising in the west?" Everyone looks outside the window, to see that what the big idiot Kuno is just as he says; a dark violet-colored sun-like phenomenon rising from the west along with the sky darkening and a miasmic-like dark purple cloud flowing down from the mountains.
Akane gasps as her Akumajin arm twitches into seizures, "My arm! What's going on?"
"Something big, and possibly something bad" says Masaru.
Flying through the open door is the bird of sky-blue energy and the small robotic turtle, everyone is curious about this tiny entity since it's not in the possession of a Choujin or Choufujin.
Masaru identifies it as "Blue Scout Card!" Then the bird's energy body shrinks down into a complex puzzle-like blue bird form and then lands in his hand.
Also coming from the door is a tiny green mechanical turtle that slowly walks its way to the group, Uncle Takeshi picks it up and says to it "Nice to see you again, TV Turtle."
Ataru asks, "What are those things?" Masaru explains about the blue bird "Blue Scout Card is one of five Scout Cards from my Aikusha Booker; once activated they can change from Card Mode to any number of Live Modes and can use the energy they have on them currently to grant them energy bodies resembling their Live Modes' intended animal formations or to enlarge them, they can also serve as assistance or reconnaissance scouts for me so they can report whatever information I need. They're sort of like the Choujin's Golem Scouts."
The blue bird-shaped construct disassembles and then reassembles into its blue card form, earning its share of 'oh' from everyone else.
Uncle Takeshi explains about the green turtle he calls TV Turtle, "Masaru-kun is sort of an inventor and he constructed me several gadgets to assist me when the time requires it, it can also function as assistance/reconnaissance mini-droids for me. TV Turtle is a pocket television that switches from Pocket TV Mode and Turtle Mode."
The green turtle pulls its head, legs, and tail in, instantly turning into a pocket television set.
Masaru places his Scout Card over the Aikusha Booker and the small blue item disappears into it while Uncle Takeshi opens TV Turtle's back shell to look into the LCD screen.
That is when everyone listening and watching hears the news that the semi-sentient tools had gathered to report to them. Then, the tension heightens intensely.
"Wait!" calls out Akane before she asks, "If the Akumajin require their Queen to revive their King, how come I'm still here with you and not fully sired? Also, how did that Just-Shocker floozy get a hold of Akumajin Queen blood?"
Everyone thinks hard on this, Masaru suddenly realizes, "When Ranma touched your bosom before our revelation to you… he had both him and you knocked down to the pavement… some of the Akumajin Queen blood must've bled out before healing quickly!"
Kogane gasps, "And it's possible because of that Just-Shocker woman, Midoriya, collecting that blood on the street and decided to use it for this chaos."
Lum gasps in horror, "What's going to happen once that dark purple cloud gets here?" Hanto asks "If the Akumajin were originally martial artists who fell into the darkness of corruption, do you think that this cloud will affect all of them at once instead of just a few people at a time?" Shinobu gulps, "You know, I don't want to sit and await to find out!"
Noriko frowns, "With Naraku resurrected, we're going to be in over our heads." Inuyasha growls "More than you know." "But what did that woman mean by 'the Makuuchuju version of Naraku?'" asks Shinobu. Mousse suggests "If Inuyasha says that Naraku was as bad as he says he was, then this Makuuchuju must be seriously bad news."
Outside the window, everyone turns to see other martial artists on the street getting touched by the dark cloud from the mountain transforming into Akumajin and then multiplying.
Sasuke Sarugakure, the Kuno family's loyal house ninja, and Konatsu, Ukyo's 'kunoichi' servant, appears and report, "Akumajin are filling the streets like wildfire, Kuno-sama (from Sasuke)/Ukyo-dono (from Konatsu)!"
Masaru tells everyone, "Remember everyone; these are innocents, we shouldn't take lives needlessly and they need help since they cannot defend themselves from this four-sided Armageddon."
"Four-sided?" asks Ataru in a confused matter. Lum explains, "There are three sides to conquer, with us being the fourth side; this Naraku, the Makuuchuju coming, and the Akumajin plague."
Masaru turns to Kogane and tosses a card to her, "Please look into that card and support us in spirit, Kogane-san!" She looks at the card; a Hero Call Rider Card with Souji Tendou's face depicted, she feels a strange warmth inside of her.
Masaru and Noriko head outside transforming into their KR forms and charge out into battle, those able to fight run outside.
The Choujin and other Riders transform and charge in, ready for battle. From within the neighboring buildings' windows, every one of the innocents and civilians are staying indoors, watching this horror and unsure of what's to come.
They all push away the Akumajin to get to the King, who isn't very far; he's just levitating in front of the roof of a 5-story building, looking down on them.
KR Aikusha says, "You must be the Akumajin King." The bear-like being says, "That I am, human." He then eyes Akane, face to face, "And behind you is the future Queen."
Akane's demon arm is acting up again, she says to everyone "Guys… the evil arm is reacting to him! I think the Akumajin blood is being drawn to him, taking me with!" KR Venus gulps "Just like butterflies when they're courting!" Chiaki's voice is heard "Maybe the Akumajin King has the power to purge the 'impurities' within the Queen's system?"
Akane's shoulder develops an elephant-shaped mark, she exclaims "Oh damn! Of all the possible Akumajin for me to turn into, why did it have to be an elephant?!" Shampoo shrugs "At least elephant suit violent girl too-too well." Ukyo frowns at the young Amazon, "Not helping."
From out of the shadows from the west of the group, a familiar figure in a white-furred baboon pelt appears and says with a dark, cruel voice, "How interesting, a group from another world visiting ours." The then pelt explodes to reveal a man with demonic red eyes and long shaggy black hair. He is in a light blue jacket with a purplish interior and a yellow obi tied around his waist. He dons armor made out of what may be bones with a diamond coating and possesses three large dragon tails. The center of his diamond-coated chest plate, which is connect by two-blade like diamond extensions outside of the high collar, and the back of his hands has red eyes embedded in them. His right arm is covered in diamond armor, and the rest of his body sports diamond tentacles. It's the wicked spider demon, Naraku!
Inuyasha growls, "So you are resurrected, Naraku!" Kagome calls out "Just you wait, we'll send you back to the underworld yet!" "I'm thinking not before I send you two there first" wickedly smirks Naraku as he places a black mask with a very strong spider motif over his face.
Coming down from the skies in the southeast came another figure; it's a feminine humanoid being with cold eyes of gold and long wavy white hair. She is in a dark red kimono with a white hakama and a purple obi tied around her waist. She dons armor made out of what appear to be honeycombs of topaz and alae-like wings of great size. Her chest plate and the back of her hands have golden metal bees embedded in them. Her right arm has a large katar, or punching dagger, and the rest of her body sports yellow silk sashes.
Ataru gasps, "The aura and the smell of that woman, it's the same stench as the Makuuchuju!" KR Aikusha states, "I take it that she is the Makuuchuju version of Naraku that that hellion in green mentioned." The woman places a golden queen bee-themed mask over her face and smugly says "Looks like it's the end for you, Fukou, for all my kind you've slain. By the way, you may call me Hyakuuchujua."
KR Venus asks, "What's with the masks, are you going to a masquerade ball our something?" Naraku says "Jokes will get you nowhere, child. But since you've asked, we are given these masks by the organization of Just-Shocker in order to terminate you all and they can amplify their wearers' abilities a hundredfold." Hyakuuchujua the Makuuchuju bee woman says, "In other words, we have even more power than you could imagine."
KR Aikusha shrugs "I don't know, I can imagine quite a bit." KR Venus shakes her head, "Not helping."
The two extra foes channel individual auras into the ground——
Out from the ground infused with the aura from Naraku sprouts mummy/zombie-like beings that later turn into more demonic versions of the native Japanese spirits.
Out from the ground infused with the aura from Hyakuuchujua gushes out an orange slime that later produces almost extraterrestrial-like animaloid beasts.
"Hardly matters now," states KR Aikusha, "unless we do something, this world has no future."
The Akumajin King nods "Yes, let the lust for power, anger, search for battle, fear, overconfidence, dark wishes, and doubts of humans feed my race and become part of it! Then the Evil Sun will be ours to conquer and bypass the prophecy!"
KR Aikusha and his traveling crew gasp 'Lust for power? Search for battle? Anger? Fear? Overconfidence? Dark wishes? Doubts? Prophecy of the Evil Sun?'
As his stallion head emblem appears on his forehead, Ranma says "Well, it doesn't matter as of now. Akane's got the mark and we've got to destroy those three big bads!"
The Choujin-capable of Nerima, the rest of the NWC, the husband of the crowned princess of the Oni planet, and the Hanyou charges into battle!
In a moment of the battle, KR Ryoga pushes a car to its side, revealing a panicking Chiaki who was originally hiding underneath it.
KR Aikusha spots Chiaki and says to him, "If I'm right, your cowardice will be your transformation into an Akumajin, so I must give you a fighting chance." Pulling out a few cards, he suggests, "Perhaps with Urataros' finesse and craftiness, DiEnd's power would be amplified."
"Hero Call: Urataros!"
"Hero Equip: Transformation Loading Gun DiEndriver!"
A ball of light takes place and possesses Chiaki, getting him to become the more confident and coolheaded Chiaki Blue. Then beams of blue light bend right into his right hand, forming into an actual DiEndriver.
Seeing the clock in Dr. Tofu's clinic from the window, Chiaki Blue adjusts his glasses and says "We've got only 10 minutes, so let's make this fast and cool, new guy." KR Aikusha smiles under his helmet, "You've said it, aibou."
Chiaki Blue slips a card, which depicts a blue Kamen Rider with a paneled box-like helmet, into his gun. He then pushes the barrel forward, extending the weapon——
"KAMENRIDE:——"
Chiaki Blue calmly says as he pulls the trigger in the air, "Henshin."
"DIEND!"
Three images appear around Chiaki Blue plus a fourth one from above. The three around him turn into red, blue, and green warrior-like images that converge onto him, forming a black, white and, silver suit of armor. The fourth image above him turns into several blue panels that later fly down and attach to the helmet forming into his grill/radiator-like visor and turns part of the suit blue. Chiaki Blue has transformed into KR DiEnd.
KR Aikusha checks his Watcher and says "Good, Urataros' power is boosting DiEnd's."
(Kamen Rider DiEnd (with Urataros in control)— height: 194cm; weight: 88kg; punching power: 6t; kicking power: 9t; max. jumping height: 30m; max. running speed: 100m/5s; senses: double; defense rating: 7; Dimension Shoot: 75t)
KR DiEnd sighs, "I would've preferred a rod-wielding Rider, but Ryuuta's way too reckless with a firearm." He places three cards into the DiEndriver——
"KAMENRIDE: ZOLDA!"
"DELTA!"
"DRAKE!"
With the pull of the trigger, he summons the green-and-silver minotaur-themed gunslinger Zolda, the fast and powerful black-and-silver Delta, and sky blue-and-silver dragonfly-themed Drake.
(Kamen Rider Zolda— height: 194cm; weight: 94kg; punching power: 15t (300 AP); kicking power: 15t (300 AP); max. jumping height: 15m; max. running speed: 100m/7s; sight: 20km; hearing: 10km; defense rating: 7; Final Vent, End of World: 350t)

KR Drake taps the switch on the back of his gun/Zector, "Cast Off."
"CAST OFF!"
The exterior shell of Drake's armor bursts off and blows back a lot of the enemy monsters back!
"CHANGE DRAGONFLY!"
(Kamen Rider Drake, Rider Form— height: 189cm; weight: 91kg; punching power: 3t; kicking power: 6t; max. jumping height: 39m; max. running speed: 100m/5.5s; senses: 10km; defense rating: 6; finisher power: 17t; Rider Shooting: 23t)
As they went into battle, Hanto comes up to KR Aikusha and says to him "I wish to help, aniki." KR Aikusha pulls out a card and asks the child "Would you fight for your beliefs, whatever they may be as of now?" Hanto sighs, "I wish to fight… so that peace will come in the end along with everyone happy."
Seeing the card flash, KR Aikusha waves it over his buckle/Booker——
"Hero Equip: Gatack Zecter!"
The silvery Gatack Buckle, the transformation belt used for transforming with the Gatack Zecter, appears around Hanto's waist. With the blue robotic stag beetle flying toward the young man's hand——
Hanto grabs hold of the Gatack Zector, thankful to have watched a few episodes of the Kamen Rider series enough to know how it apparently works, and slaps it into its Henshin Belt around his waist, calling out "Henshin!"
"HENSHIN!"
A blue hexagonal field forms around him, forming his temporary armor for battle——
He is now donning blue-and-silver armor that covers his body. Shoulder-mounted guns (Gatack Vulcan) are part of it while his face has large red eyes with small horns resembling a stag beetle's pinchers. His chest is box-like with blue trim and cylindrical sections run down his arms.
Hanto has transformed into KR Mini-Gatack!
(Kamen Rider Gatack, Masked Form (child sized)— height: 150cm; weight: 104kg; punching power: 6t; kicking power: 6.75t; max. jumping height: 14.25m; max. running speed: 100m/10s; senses: 10km; defense Rating: 8)
Knowing he's got only 10 minutes and should not kill the Akumajin, he quickly decides go for speed and flicks the mandibles on his Zecter, which is face its wearer's left, causing the exterior armor shell loosen with energy pulsing throughout the body armor——
Pulling the mandible switches back further, KR Mini-Gatack calls out "Cast Off!"
"CAST OFF!"
The outer armor explodes off of him and pushes a lot of the enemy monsters back, revealing his Rider Form——
His guns are completely gone. What is on his box-like shoulder pads now are short shotel-like blades styled after stag beetle mandibles. His chest plate is styled after a beetle abdomen and his arms is clear of the cylindrical sections. His helmet has the same silver mouth-guard and the red eyes are now larger. On the sides of his head, two horns rise to the sides forming horns. They were styled after stag beetle mandibles.
"CHANGE! STAG BEETLE!"
(Kamen Rider Gatack, Rider Form (child sized)— height: 154cm; weight: 67kg; punching power: 2.25t; kicking power: 5.25t; max. jumping height: 27m; max. running Speed: 100m/5s; senses: 10km; defense rating: 6; finisher power: 19t; Rider Kick: 24.25t)
"Ryoga-niichan, I would like to borrow your weapon!" calls KR Mini-Gatack. KR Ryoga tosses his transformed umbrella to the kid, "Be careful, it's extremely heavy!" However, despite its extreme weight, Mini-Gatack is able to carry the umbrella one-handed and wield it thanks to the armor.
"Clock Up!" call out KR Mini-Gatack and KR Drake as they slap the buttons on their belt——
"CLOCK UP!"
WHOOSH! KR Mini-Gatack & KR Drake disappears in a flash!
Seeing a lot of the kaijin being knocked away flying by some invisible force, Ukyo asks KR Venus "Why is it that they're being knocked away and how did they disappear?" KR Venus quickly explains, "the Clock Up system increases the wearer's speed by decreasing the speed of time around said user. The extent of which is like to the user is as if the entire world was standing still to him or her."
"CLOCK OVER!"
The Zecter Riders reappear, returning to the sides of their 'superiors'.
KR Mini-Gatack pants out, "Aniki, I've discovered something!" KR Aikusha asks, "What?" The temporary young Rider says, "A lot of these Akumajin weren't human originally, half of them that weren't even martial artists!" "Eh?!" exclaim the NWC in unison, "You're kidding!"
Cologne gasps "Oh no! I've just remembered something from the Choujin Chronicles; there is a prophecy that should the Akumajin King rise without a Queen by his side during the rise of the Evil Sun, all those who are without true courage or at the epitome of negative emotions will become Akumajin and they will be the dominant species of this world and the human race will dwindle. Unless the Queen averted and the Evil Sun is destroyed afterwards, the world will shatter and all life will be extinct."
Genma groans, "It's a definite no-win scenario."
"This is getting too big for us," groans KR Aikusha "I'm calling in my masked sensei." KR Venus places a hand on his Booker and says, "You forget that I can also summon Riders too, I'm itching to see what my female Riders can do. I'll bring out several Oni." KR Aikusha sighs, "Then you'd better bring out Kuuga too. I'll assist the three hot-blooded musketeers."
KR Aikusha asks, "Then why do we see some humans purified?" KR Mini-Gatack replies, "Destroy the buckles on their belts! That seems to do the trick!"
KR Aikusha dashes into action to help KR Ranma, KR Fukou, and KR Inuyasha.
KR Venus pulls out a bunch of cards and quickly flips them over her buckle——
"Venus Hero Call: Kamen Rider——"
"Zanki!"
A middle-aged woman with spiky black hair with a green tinge appears. She is dressed in black winter clothes and has an ornate gold-and-black wristband with an Oni face for a watch-face. She opens the face to reveal three small chords and simply plucks the brace strings. She brings the vibrating band up to her forehead, forming an Oni emblem on her forehead before massive lightning bolts strike her body, instantly transforming her——
Her body is now like it's covered in a skin-tight dark green suit of body armor. There is also a bronze chord-like baldric over her torso. She also has a pair of bronze gauntlets with red chord-like stripes cover her hands up to her elbows. She's also wearing black knee-high boots and a brown battle skirt. Around her waist was a belt with an oval/rectangular buckle with red chords (Ongekishin Raigou). Hanging at her hip are disc-like objects (Disc Animals) and a strange golden wristband (Henshin Kigen OnKa) on her left wrist. Strapped to her back is a guitar-like axe weapon (Ongekigen Retsurai). Finally, she's wearing a 'mask' that has no face but it has bronze facial markings like the makeup of a kabuki performer. She also has a single short curved bronze horn on top of her head and a golden one-horned Oni face emblem on her forehead. Her bosom is enhanced too.
She is the female incarnation of Kamen Rider Zanki.

"Todoroki!"
A young woman with short unruly black hair with a small green tinge appears. She is dressed in grayish greens and has a similar wristband to Zanki. She opens the face to reveal three small chords and simply plucks the brace strings. She brings the vibrating band up to her forehead, forming an Oni emblem on her forehead before massive lightning bolts strike her body, instantly transforming her——
Her body is now like it's covered in a skin-tight green suit of body armor. There is also a red chord-like baldric with silver bands over her torso. She also has a pair of silvery gauntlets with red chord-like stripes cover her hands up to her elbows. She's also wearing black knee-high boots and a green battle skirt. Around her waist was a belt with an oval/rectangular buckle with red chords (Ongekishin Raigou). Hanging at her hip are disc-like objects (Disc Animals) and a strange golden wristband (Henshin Kigen Onjou) on her left wrist. Strapped to her back is a guitar-like axe weapon (Ongekigen Retsurai).

She is the female incarnation of Kamen Rider Todoroki.

"Ibuki!"
A charming young woman with straight black hair with a blue tinge in a ponytail appears. She is dressed in blue and is holding a golden whistle. She unfolds the horns on it to uncover its face and blows into the whistle before bringing it to her forehead and making the golden three-horned Oni face emblem appear upon it. Air suddenly gathers around her like a tornado. Then WHOOSH! She is transformed——
Her body is now like it's covered in a skin-tight suit of body armor that was pitch black with a strong blue tint. There is also a golden multi-pipe-like vest worn over the torso suit. She also has a pair of blue gauntlets with gold wristbands cover her hands up to her elbows. She's also wearing matching blue-tinted black boots that go up to her knees and a blue skirt. Around her waist was a belt with a buckle that looks like it can convert into the bell or flare of a trumpet (Ongekimei Narukaze). Hanging at her hip are disc-like objects (Disc Animals) and a strange golden whistle-like tool (Henshin Onibue Onteki). In holster in the back of her belt is a strangely shaped golden gun weapon topped with trumpet valves (Ongekikan Reppu). Finally, she's wearing a 'mask' that has no face but it had blue facial markings like the makeup of a kabuki performer. She also has a pair of short jet-lined blue horns and a golden three-horned oni face emblem on her forehead. Her bosom is enhanced too.
She is the female incarnation of Kamen Rider Ibuki.

"Hibiki!"
A young woman with long auburn hair with a small amount of purple tinge appears. She is dressed in gray and white clothes and is holding a gold tuning fork in her hand. She unfolds it and taps it, creating a high-pitched ringing before introducing it over her forehead, making a golden Oni face appear upon it. Then a purple fire engulfs her, but she moans with power. BOOM!
Her body is now like it's covered in a skin-tight suit of body armor that was purple. There are also lethal-looking silvery metal straps worn over the torso. She also has a pair of red gauntlets with silver wristbands cover her hands up to her elbows. She's also wearing studded dark-purple boots that go up to her knees and a purple skirt. Around her waist was a belt with a buckle that looks like a mini taiko drum (Ongekimei Narukaze). Hanging at her hip are disc-like objects (Disc Animals) and her strange golden folding tuning fork tool (Henshin Onibue Onteki). In holster in the back of her belt is a pair of taiko drumsticks topped with red Oni heads (Ongekikan Reppu). Finally, she's wearing a 'mask' that has no face but it had blue facial markings like the makeup of a kabuki performer. She also has a pair of short silver horns and a golden oni face emblem on her forehead. Her bosom is enhanced too.
She is the female incarnation of Kamen Rider Hibiki.

"Kuuga!"
A young woman with lightly bluish black hair in pigtails and dressed in casual clothing appears. The Arcle appears around her waist. After posing a bit, she calls out "Henshin!"
A whoosh of invisible energy forms red armor with a small golden trim over a black bodysuit and a black helmet with big red eyes, an ornate silver mouth guard, and large gold stag beetle-themed horn.
She has transformed into the female incarnation of Kamen Rider Kuuga.
(Kamen Rider Kuuga, Mighty Form (female version)— name: Yui Godai; transformation tool: Arcle; height: 185cm; weight: 88kg; punching power: 3t; kicking power: 10t; max. running speed: 100m/4.2s; max. jumping height: 20m; senses: 10x; defense rating: 6; vehicle: Beat Chaser 2000 (motorcycle), Gouram (mysterious machine); Mighty Kick: 30t)
"Girls," orders KR Venus, "most of these kaijin are innocents, don't kill them, just hold them back until we can find a way to stop this mess." They all nod, "Hai" and confront the Akumajin.
Nabiki Green comes up to KR Venus, "Excuse me, Noriko-san!" KR Venus turns to her and asks, "What is it, Denebi-san?" Nabiki Green says, "I also wish to help." KR Venus asks her, "How's Nabiki-san doing?"
Nabiki Green hears her host's thoughts replying, 'Like I want my body back… like about now.' Seeing the shocked look on Nabiki Green's face, KR Venus says, "Don't tell me; she wants you out." The Imagin possessing the middle Tendou child quickly nods and hops out, revealing the female version of Deneb the Imagin and a frowning Nabiki strangling the Imagin woman.
While continuing to strangle Denebi, Nabiki frowns and says "Okay, for possessing me and putting my reputation to ruin… I must charge you a grand total of 1 billion yen." Uncle Takeshi calls from afar, "Put up with Denebi-san for a little bit more and I'll throw in another billion yen." Nabiki sighs in defeat then smiles lightly "It's so nice doing business with people."
Denebi pulls out a black mechanical Zeronos Belt and Zeronos Cards to Nabiki, "Please use these, at least you'll have a fighting chance." KR DiEnd/Urataros calls out, "If you run away, you'll wouldn't have enough protection anyway." Nabiki sighs, "Good point."
Nabiki puts on the Zeronos Belt and Denebi presses a button on top of the buckle, making it play its flute-like theme before she slips the Card in the buckle——
"Altair Form!"
Nabiki is placed in black, silver, gold, and green armor; the armor of Kamen Rider Zeronos.
(KR Zeronos, Altair Form (female)— height: 178cm; weight: 77kg; Punching Power: 5t; Kicking Power: 7t; Max. Jumping Height: 35m; Max. Running Speed: 100m/5s; Senses: 1km; Defense Rating: 6; Splendid End: 35t; Grand Strike: 35t)
She puts together the ZeroGasher into a crossbow form, then the firing part doubles in size, "Sweet."
KR Venus spots Kasumi being surrounded by Akumajin…
KR Venus groans, "Oh, come on! Her heart will be the first to target for the King to corrupt!"
"Venus Hero Call: Odette!"
The female counterpart of the Swan Imagin (Sieg), whose female name is Odette ('Seigfreya' is a nickname), appears next to Kasumi and says to her "Pardon me, sister, but the situation is too dire for reason so I must possess you in order to protect you." Kasumi sweetly replies "I guess it would be alright, Swan-san."
Odette possesses her——
Kasumi White has her former comeliness heightened to goddess-like elegance, her brown hair lengthened and given white highlights. Around her neck is a feathery white boa.
She turns to the Akumajin surrounding her and says, "Foul fiends possessing and terrorizing the innocent and the virtuous, prepare to be chastised for your crimes!"
A flying ring broke comes to her aid and wraps around her waist, this ring is the Den-O Belt with the golden Wing Buckle. It plays a beautiful tune as she pulls out a Rider Pass and calls out "Henshin" and then she waves the Pass over the buckle——
"Henshin!"
"Wing Form!"
Den-O's Plat Form armor forms before additional armor would equip to her, however, there's one minor difference as the bodysuit under the armor was bright gold instead of black. A black back plate hovers behind her as well as a white chest plate in front her with white wing-like shoulder-guards hovering, flanking her. The armor then snapped onto her body with a loud clank. A blue swan then slides over her faceplate before the neck of the bird folds back and the wings snap onto the helmet to form a visor.
Kasumi White transforms into a female KR Den-O Wing Form.
(KR Den-O, Wing Form (female)— height: 183cm; weight: 80kg; Punching Power: 4t; Kicking Power: 8t; Max. Jumping Height: 80m; Max. Running Speed: 100m/3s; Senses: 10km; Defense Rating: 7; Royal Smash: 40t)
KR Den-O in Wing Form goes into a pose, "Advent, at the top of everything."
She looks absolutely majestic as feathers float down from above her.
The battle rages on for several more minutes, until most of the Choujin, KR Aikusha, and KR Venus are knocked down to the ground and changed out of their transformations. Akane's arm isn't doing too hot either, with it still transforming more and more. Shampoo looks at the sidelines to see in horror that her great-grandmother, Cologne, Happosai, and Genma are too slowly beginning to turn into Akumajin.
As the Akumajin King nears Akane, Ranma struggles to keep her away from the beast…
Akane sighs sadly, "Looks like I'm doomed to be a monster queen." The Akumajin King smiles "My Queen——" Masaru regains his strength and pushes the Akumajin King away, exclaiming "Akane-san's not a monster queen…" turning toward Ranma, he continues "and Ranma's not a horrible man!"
Then, another a moment of silence… Masaru plainly says, "Akane is just a woman doomed to be on the rack for her excessive amount of pride and Ranma's a jerk."
"HEY!" shrieks Akane. Ranma gets ready to pound the lead otherworlder, "You bastard——"
But before either could aggressively defend themselves…
Masaru says "But, they've got good intentions and there's a hint of innocence within their hearts." The inhabitants of the Rider version of the Rumiko Takahashi dimension exclaim, "Huh?"
Noriko says "Akane-chan acted like she did when she met Ranma-san in the beginning after the failed wedding so they could avoid the idiot fathers' attempts." Akane sighs in defeat, "She's penetrated my veil and exposed our secret." Noriko looks at Ranma, "Ranma's been in need of a mother's embrace and teachings about women, but in place of that he got his own father's own beliefs of what a man among men should be." After a small amount of time, Ranma admits, "That is true."
Masaru says "A mother is what is truly important in the world of a child before they he or she becomes adults, even those striving to be the best as possible. Akane's mother died when she was a child and Nodoka had her son's life ruined by the real jerk. The real reason they've never wanted each other, was because of the false honor and disobedience of the laws and such. Ranma is able to turn into a Choujin that looks more than safer to be around is because he along has the most common sense amongst the other superhuman martial artists. Akane's heart belongs to Ranma and not because of their fathers' doings, but it's because they grew onto each other on their own. What is marriage without love and the real life without being mentally and emotionally prepared?"
Akane holds Ranma's hands, "He gives an extremely valid point." Ranma agrees with her, "Yeah, he certainly does."
Uncle Takeshi says, "Also, what's a man among men without heart? Without heart you still get Akumajin." Kaijin of Genma fell to his knees, weeping, "Why me? Goddamnit, how could've I been so heartless?!" KR DiEnd/Urataros asks skeptically, "Yes, how?"
Masaru says, "You should never use honor as an excuse. Especially for forcing your offspring into things they don't like or want to be a part of, or even use it to legalize arranged weddings either. True honor comes from trust and respect for those around you. Also, the more we understand each other, the greater our bonds will become."
Ranma begins to shed tears and smile, "Thank you, Masaru." Akane sighs with content, "It's so touching."
Ataru shrugs, "What the hell? Whether we're human or not, as long as we can get along in peace, nothing else would mean shit. That is why I should fight the Makuuchuju, me give up my selfish dream to protect everyone, whether they're from Earth or not." Lum smiles from afar, "Oh, Darling!"
Inuyasha smiles smugly "Yeah, I'm a hanyo but aside from human blood I've got some human spirit about me. I've given up fighting to be a full demon permanently long ago to live beside my loved ones and comrades." Kagome nods, "Well said, Inuyasha."
Noriko asks, "What about those words from long ago from your battle with the Phoenix King?"
Ranma and Akane look at each other and embrace warmly.
Akane's purple demonic hand returns to its original form and without the Queen mark, "My hand! It's back to normal!" Ranma exclaims, "No Akumajin Queen!"
Masaru's Aikusha Booker opens and several cards pop out, including the Rider Card symbolizing KR Ranma's world, but to his surprise it changes itself revealing Ranma's male Choujin Rider Form, Kamen Rider Ranma, as well as Inuyasha's and Ataru's KR powers are on the new cards. The Hero Cards' green lines gain an additional 10 minutes, meaning they've got about 13 minutes left now. Masaru says, "My cards have been upgraded and as well as some new cards!"
Noriko sees holographic images of Venus Cards showing above her Venus Belt, she says to Masaru "Me too!"
KR DiEnd/Urataros says to KR Mini-Gatack, "We're got 12-and-half minutes now, let's carry on some more!" KR Mini-Gatack nods "Right!"
"You little bastard!" growls the Akumajin King, "Who the hell are you?" Masaru smirks, "Just so you'll know, I'm an adaptable fan ascended to Kamen Rider, Aikusha." Noriko stands behind him and smirks too, "And I'm just the Kamen Rider of love and the heart, Venus."
"Henshin!" calls out Masaru.
"Henshin!" calls out Noriko.
"Kaku Henshin!" calls out Ataru.
"Choujin Henshin!" calls out Ranma.
"Youki Henshin!" calls out Inuyasha.
The five transform into their Kamen Rider forms and return into the battle!
Meanwhile, KR Zeronos/Nabiki asks Denebi "Does it look like we're going to win now?" Denebi nods, "Yes, Nabiki-san." KR Zeronos/Nabiki sighs "Take over, I'm getting tired." Denebi salutes "Roger, just hit the switch I've shown you and flip the card in the buckle over!"
Nabiki follows the Imagin's instructions——
"Vega Form!"
The two fuse into a female version of KR Zeronos in Vega Form.
(KR Zeronos, Vega Form (female)— height: 185cm; weight: 111kg; Punching Power: 7t; Kicking Power: 10t; Max. Jumping Height: 25m; Max. Running Speed: 100m/9.7s; Senses: 30km; Defense Rating: 8; Splendid End: 35t; Grand Strike: 35t)
KR Zeronos says, "I have this to say…"
Everyone tenses up for the phrase…
"Please don't look at my bosom like that, it's embarrassing."
"HUH?!?" exclaim every warrior, civilian, and monster in confusion and annoyance.
Nabiki growls to Denebi 'You are embarrassing!'
KR Den-O comes up behind KR Zeronos and says "Sister, let's work together to save our beloved people." KR Zeronos nods, "Roger!"
Back with KR Venus, she decides to test some of the new Venus Cards——
"Venus Endow: Fu-Fu-Fukou; Su-Su-Super Lum!"
"Venus Endow: Ra-Ra-Ranma; Chou-Chou-Choufujin Akane!"
"Venus Endow: In-In-Inuyasha; Su-Su-Super-Miko Kagome!"
"Lum-san, Akane-chan, Kagome-chan," says KR Venus, "you'll feel a lot of pleasure through this." "Eh?" gasps a confused Akane. Lum says "But even I agree with Darling that this situation seems too dangerous." "What is it going to be like exactly, Noriko-chan?" asks Kagome.
Lum suddenly glows blue with light of electricity, but even more so than she usually does. FLASH! As the electrical glow dies down, it reveals herself in battle armor version of her usual outfit, complete with a saber-toothed tigress themed helmet with dark green shades over her eyes and a golden bullwhip.
"Wow," gasps Lum "I'm able to fight beside my Darling now."
(Super Lum— height: 165cm; weight: 45kg; punching power: 7t; kicking power: 12t; max. running speed: 100m/3.5s; max. jumping height: 30m; senses: 5km; defense rating: 4; Oni Thunder Burst: 30t)
A gold phoenix emblem appears on Akane's forehead, she gasps as she goes up in crimson flames but underneath she is surprised that they don't hurt. She moans to herself, "Oh, Kami-sama… she's right." Then a lightning bolt shoots down upon her, dispelling the flames and revealing her new self——
Akane's a Choufujin now. Her body is now a bright red with blue kanji for 'explosive' and 'soothing' emblazoned down between her now bosomy chest, she's got a crimson belt with a golden wrap skirt, hanging at the left hip side of it are several colored objects of solid geometric shapes. She's also wearing a golden vest that resembles a brand-new kimono somewhat. Her helmet is blue with almond-shaped red eyepieces with the phoenix emblem over her forehead area.
"Amazing," calls out Akane in a pleased tone of voice "I've become a Choufujin!"
(Kamen Rider Akane, Choufujin Form— height: 165cm; weight: 43kg; punching power: 7t; kicking power: 9t; max. running speed: 100m/3.8s; max. jumping height: 25m; senses: 1km; defense rating: 5; Heaven's Path Fireball: 45t)
Kagome finds a red obi around her waist with a pure white crystal in it above her abdomen, then she is suddenly bathed in a heavenly light, which quickly dies down to reveal herself in armor of her own——
She is clad in a light-green bodysuit with a red lower battle skirt and saint/miko/wing-like platinum-colored pieces of upper body armor, she still has the mysterious obi on, and her head is now concealed in a mostly black helmet with a long black metallic ponytail hanging behind it (similar to KR Raia's, only slightly thicker). Above her heart on the breastplate of her armor is a round light-blue stone held in by a red ribbon-like setting. The helmet also has a bow-and-arrow-shaped hold ornament that also resembles a tenkan, or 'heavenly crown', and a silver faceplate shaped like that of a normal woman's profile but with almond-shaped green eyepieces. Strapped on her back is a golden longbow with wing-like extensions and moving parts like it can fold out or swing into different positions when fired and no string.
She smiles under her helmet, admiring her armor "Not bad at all."
(Super-Miko Kagome— transformation tool: Mikotama Obi; height: 165cm; weight: 52kg; punching power: 2t; kicking power: 5t; max. running speed: 100m/3.6s; max. jumping height: 15m; senses: 10km; defense rating: 5; Weapon: Chou-Kyudo (an enchanted bow); Sacred Arrow: 150t)
KR Aikusha says, "Admire later, fight now; we've got three extremely powerful foes to deal with! Four if you count the Evil Sun." KR Venus says "Two of our three enemies is 100 times more powerful than they usually were, while one of them is 100 times more furious than power and he should be the strongest."
Kagome says, "I could nail the Akumajin King with my Sacred Arrow, but I'll be wide open to Naraku's attack." Super Lum says, "Same here if I could whale on the witch, but the Akumajin King would hit me with those powerful energy bursts of his." KR Akane gulps, "It occurred to me now that the three of them are worse than 300 Saffron's."
KR Inuyasha frowns "I'm positive that this time there aren't any of those puppet clones of him to save his skin, but I'm starting to realize that I need more than my Tetsusaiga to kill him once and for all." "I've never been up against a Makuuchuju that's stronger than 10 of them, so she's my first" growls KR Fukou. KR Ranma says "My Dragon's Heaven Blast isn't going to do enough damage to the Akumajin King without destroying the city, that's how intense his anger is."
KR Aikusha asks, "Then why not gather those willing to fight alongside us and split into 3 different strong groups?" The others look at him like he's grown an extra head, "Eh?!" KR Ranma asks "Are ya nuts?! How the hell are we going to beat him when we would need to rely on your powers?!" KR Aikusha pulls out a Rider Card with an image of 5 of himself labeled 'Rider Attack: Multiply', "I'll multiply myself" and waves it over his buckle——
"Rider Attack: Multiply!"
Suddenly three duplicates of KR Aikusha seemingly walk out from behind him. Seeing this opportunity, KR Venus decides to follow suit——
"Venus Attack: Self-Duplicate!"
She then multiplies by four.
"Hey," says KR Ranma "Why are you duplicating yourselves like that?"
KR Aikusha 1 says to KR Ranma "I have a few Rider Cards called Final Trump Cards and one of the ones connected to KR Fukou can produce a familiar that resembles a tiger." KR Ranma shivers, "I see your point. Let's hope whatever mine is it ain't one of… t-t-t-those things that c-c-chase mice."
KR Inuyasha smirks under his helmet "Oh I see; each of the three groups gets an Aikusha and a Venus so we can split up and take on one of the strongest enemies with this Trump power, while the remaining extras deal with the Evil Sun to help buy us some more time." "Hai," nods KR Aikusha 2. Kagome says, "It's ingenious."
KR Aikusha 4 shouts "GO!"
KR Fukou's group charges in to bring death to Hyakuuchujua. Shinobu sees this, picks up a nearby lowrider car with her Oni's presence-enhanced strength, and runs in to help. Shuutaro Mendou draws a katana and cuts at the eyes of the Makuuchuju while making his way to the evil woman, along with the other friends that Lum and Ataru have made. KR Mini-Gatack, KR Diend/Urataros, and his 'soldiers' join in this fight too.
KR Ranma's group charges with full force against the bearish Akumajin King. The other Choujin and women martial artists run in boldly if not recklessly to assist. KR Den-O/Kasumi/Odette and KR Zeronos/Nabiki/Denebi also come to help.
KR Inuyasha's group charges in for Naraku. From above, four familiar faces to KR Inuyasha and Kagome come flying in; it's Shippo (the young fox demon gone pre-teen), Miroku, Sango, and Kirara (the two-tailed demon cat partner). The female Oni and KR Kuuga rush in to assist too.
The extra KR Aikusha and Venus look up at the Evil Sun, KR Venus sighs, "I guess it was easier said than done." "Let's believe we can hold it off long enough for them to come and help us" assures KR Aikusha.
With KR Inuyasha's group, Miroku says to Kagome, "When you've called about new friends from another world, I can see you're not kidding." KR Hibiki says, "Let's work hard to slay them." Sango smiles, "First thing we agree on first our meeting."
With KR Fukou's group, he spots their KR Aikusha waving in a Final Trump Card depicting an armored tiger-like entity with his symbol. KR Aikusha 1 says to KR Fukou, "This should feel interesting, dude." KR Fukou nods, "Okay."
"Final Trump: Fu-Fu-Fukou; Fu-Fu-Fukou Tora!"
Feeling new impulses going into their bodies, KR Fukou and KR Aikusha join hands in a hoop form. A swirling vortex of red, yellow, and blue forms within the hoop and out of it comes a golden semi-robotic tiger entity bearing KR Fukou's symbol.
Super Lum gasps, "What is this?" KR Fukou says "Apparently our new power. The Fukou Tora!" The golden tiger nods in agreement.
With KR Ranma's group, "Ranma," KR Aikusha 2 says to KR Ranma "this may tingle a bit." KR Ranma quickly turns to his new friend and goes "Eh?"
"Final Trump: Ra-Ra-Ranma; Ra-Ra-Ranma Uma!"
Feeling new impulses going into their bodies, KR Ranma and KR Aikusha join hands in a hoop form. A pool of blue water-like energy forms within the hoop and out of it comes a large semi-robotic black horse-like entity bearing KR Ranma's symbol.
KR Akane stands there looking at the new power bestowed on her fiancé, "A horse?" KR Ranma shrugs "Well, my name does mean 'wild horse'" then he hops onto the steed's back, holds his hand out to KR Akane "Let's see if we can use it." KR Akane clasps his hand and as soon as she gets on hangs onto KR Ranma.
With KR Inuyasha's group, KR Aikusha 3 says to KR Inuyasha "This will tingle a bit." KR Inuyasha asks him, "What do ya mean by that?"
"Final Trump: In-In-Inuyasha; In-In-Inuyasha Dai-Inu!"
Feeling new impulses going into their bodies, KR Inuyasha and KR Aikusha join hands in a hoop form. An orb of black energy forms within the hoop and out of it comes a colossal silvery semi-robotic dog entity bearing KR Inuyasha's insignia.
KR Inuyasha hops onto his new canine friend's back, "Okay, partner! Let's all go teach Naraku a lesson he'll never forget!" Kagome hops hop and beside KR Inuyasha's side, "I'm ready too!"
Drawing another card, each KR Aikusha copy swishes over their buckles——
With the one in KR Fukou's group——
"Rider Attack: Robo Metamorphosis!"
An energy field bearing a gray atomic symbol appears before this KR Aikusha and passes through him, changing his armor——
The body looks like it's entirely mechanical, bulky, robot-like, and high-tech with a strong and solid gray-and-green accent over the body, also the armor now appears to be part of the body. The eyepieces have turned black and have shaped into an almost indifferent expression. The left side of the belt now resembles a gearbox while the right side resembles circuit board.
In a mechanical/electronic version of his original voice, he calls out "Robo Rider Aikusha!"
(Robo Rider Aikusha— height: 198cm; weight: 135kg; punching power: 20t; kicking power: 30t; running speed: 100m/7s; jumping height: 20m; senses: 15km; defense rating: 8; finisher power: 30t)
With the one in KR Ranma's group——
"Rider Attack: Bio Metamorphosis!"
An energy field bearing a red beast-like symbol appears before this KR Aikusha and passes through him, changing his armor——
The body looks like it's entirely organic, sleeker, and high-tech with strong red-and-green accents over the mutant body, also the armor now appears to be part of the body. The eyepieces have turned gold and have shaped into an almost angry expression. The belt looks more organic and lifelike while his Booker now resembles a pouch with an odd crystal-like membrane or organ in front.
In a feral version of his original voice, he calls out "Bio Rider Aikusha!"
(Bio Rider Aikusha— height: 198cm; weight: 108kg; punching power: 12t; kicking power: 18t; running speed: 100m/3s; jumping height: 30m; senses: 30km; defense rating: 6; finisher power: 30t)
With the one in KR Inuyasha's group——
"Rider Attack: Magic Metamorphosis!"
An energy field bearing a blue-green star symbol appears before this KR Aikusha and passes through him, changing his armor——
The armor looks like it's entirely silky and jewel with a strong and solid blue-green-toned accent over the mystical-looking body. The eyepieces have turned blue and have shaped into an almost serene expression. His belt looks like it's made of leather etched with runes with a large gold buckle containing a small spellbook for the Booker's form.
In a wiser and a more coolheaded version of his original voice, he calls out "Magic Rider Aikusha!"
(Magic Rider Aikusha— height: 198cm; weight: 90kg; punching power: 3t; kicking power: 7t; running speed: 100m/4.5s; jumping height: 25m; senses: 20km; defense rating: 4; finisher power: 30t)
With Robo Rider Aikusha's, incredible strength, durability, and additional inbuilt equipment, everyone is able to weaken the fusion space beast woman down after KR Fukou pulls a fast one at her chest and both Lum and him shocking her. Rebounding to Fukou Tora, he, his new familiar, and Super Lum super-charge before making a final attack…
With KR Mini-Gatack, the boy readies his finisher…
"1, 2, 3."
"Rider Kick!"
"RIDER KICK!"
KR Diend/Urataros slips a card into his weapon of choice——
"ATTACKRIDE: CROSSATTACK!"
Having him and his 'soldiers', Zolda, Delta, and Drake aiming their finishers at the powerful Makuuchuju woman…
Meanwhile, after breaking the bee mask and rendering Hyakuuchujua's powers normal, RR Aikusha slips two cards over his buckle——
"Rider Finisher: Aikusha Robo Punch!"
"Rider Finisher: Fu-Fu-Fukou; Ai-Ai-Aikusha Thu-Thu-Thunder Sma-Sma-Smash Ta-Ta-Tackle!"
Finally, a tachyon-empowered tornado kick, a barrage of missiles, bullets, and lasers, a photon drill and drop kick combination attack, a tachyon-empowered energy burst, a spiraling energy fusion blast, a pink energy-endowed punch, and a powerful punch breaks the kaijin down before KR Fukou and Super Lum riding Fukou Tora, all endowed with much electricity, and RR Aikusha comes in with a flying tackle coated in electricity finishes her off in a great explosion!
Super Lum emerges with her darling KR Fukou and cheers, "Yay! We've won, Darling!"
Back with KR Ranma's group, KR Den-O/Kasumi/Odette and KR Zeronos/Nabiki/Denebi smash their melee finishers into the Akumajin King after Ranma Uma beats his hooves into the bearish face as the other Choujin shove the Akumajin away for the final blast.
KR Akane creates a fiery ball of ki at the Akumajin, screaming "This is for choosing me as your goddamn queen… YOU KUMA NO HENTAI! Heaven's Path Fireball!"
BOOM! The Akumajin King is launched upwards, KR Venus takes KR Akane to safety as BR Aikusha waves a card over his biological Booker/pouch——
"Rider Finisher: Ra-Ra-Ranma; Ai-Ai-Aikusha Flying Dragon's He-He-Heaven Bla-Bla-Blast!"
Ranma Uma flashes and splits into two horses; a red tinted one and a blue tinted one, and they spiral around BR Aikusha and KR Ranma as the Akumajin King comes rushing down towards them!
Together, the two shout out, "Aikusha Hiryuu Shoten Ha!" thrusting their right-hand fists upward! The result is a narrow yet destructive ki-empowered cyclone pushing against the powerful bear Akumajin.
(The Aikusha Flying Dragon's Heaven Blast with KR Aikusha alone should normally be 70 tons without the need for the opponent's anger nor the wielder's coolness of soul.)
With KR Inuyasha's group…
The Oni apparently play music, when it they're really disrupting the barrier protecting Naraku.
KR Inuyasha asks MR Aikusha, "Think you can find the Wound of the Wind?" MR Aikusha says "I'm a fast learner," while swishing a few cards over his currently jewelry-like Booker——
"Rider Attack: Copy!"
"Rider Finisher: In-In-Inuyasha; Ai-Ai-Aikusha W-W-Wind S-S-Scar!"
KR Inuyasha slashes his enhanced sword at the enemy, "Kaze no Kizu!"
('Wound of the Wind!' or 'Wind Scar!')
KR Aikusha 2 wields his own enhanced Tetsusaiga (thanks to Copy) and slashes out, "Aikusha Wind Scar!"
Naraku pulls out a mirror and holds it like a shield, "That won't be happening. This mirror enhances any attack that hits it tenfold and reflects it back."
KR Inuyasha bats his enhanced attack away, "Bakuryuha!"
('Backlash Wave!' or 'Crushing Dragon Stream!')
"Rider Finisher: In-In-Inuyasha; Ai-Ai-Aikusha Back-Back-Backlash W-W-Wave!"
MR Aikusha waves the other attack back at Naraku, "Aikusha Backlash Wave!"
Naraku holds his mirror out well against the two enhanced attacks, "I was counting on that to happen, little whelps."
MR Aikusha smirks under his helmet, "So was I." KR Inuyasha looks at his ally and asks, "Don't you mean 'so were we'?" KR Aikusha 2 nods as he slips 2 Hero Attack Cards over his Booker Buckle——
"Hero Attack: Reflect Moth!"
"Hero Attack: Gemini Zebra!"
KR Aikusha 2 doubles once more and the both of them took on the two Backlash Wave attacks, just to prepare to redirect them back to Naraku, with KR Venus 3 and Super-Miko Kagome coming up beside their men.
Super-Miko Kagome comes up and pulls on the energy arrow on her bow, "Be gone, Naraku, and trouble our world no more! Holy Arrow!"
Alongside her, KR Venus 2 waves a card over her weapon while saying "Sayonara, Spider Creep!"
"Venus Finisher: Venus Arrow!"
Her Venus Saver's wings triple in size with an energy string forming to connect them, forming an advanced longbow of sorts in her left hand! She pulls the string back and a pink energy arrow forms in it and then releases it!
The mirror that Naraku is carrying shatters, much to his horror!
"Okay," gulps Naraku, "I was definitely not counting on that."
The incredibly enhanced fusion attack completely annihilates Naraku.
The duplicates of the different dimension Kamen Riders vanish along with the familiars, as everyone regroups with the original two.
"Now for the remnants of the Evil Sun in the sky," calls out KR Aikusha, "Together now!"
"Rider Finisher: Unify Forces!"
KR Aikusha jumps for the sky, followed by the other Riders and Choujin, all of them extend their legs forward while fusing their styles of the Rider Kick against the Evil Sun——
"Multiple Rider Kick!"
As soon as their kicking finishers make impact with the Evil Sun…
KABOOM!
The skies return to normal, as do the people, and all of the Makuuchuju run away as the monsters summoned by Naraku dissolve into nothingness.
The heroes return, landing on the ground, also dispel the summoned items and assistants vanish.
KR Aikusha shakes hands with KR Fukou, KR Ranma, and KR Inuyasha, "Excellent work to the three of you."
Then KR Akane spots the Akumajin King, remaining, "Oh! Doesn't he ever die?"
"I am," groans out the Akumajin King, who then transforms into a human in a martial arts gi, a handsome one without a doubt, with flowing black back and a fine face.
"You used to be a human, a great martial artist; but you had too much pride and you cursed everyone to be like you by asking youkai for power. Isn't that right?" asks KR Aikusha.
The dying former Akumajin King grunts out, "Yes. But what's your origins?" KR Aikusha sighs, "I wish I could tell you, but I barely recall."
"Please," says the dying former Akumajin King to the Riders "don't let others fall into the Darkness as I have." KR Ranma nods "We will."
Then the human who used to be the Akumajin King gives up the ghost, and finally his human body crumbles to dust.
"What's happened to him?" asks Shippo. KR Aikusha says, "It's been apparently millennia since he was human last. His human body doesn't agree with age."
Proudly standing, Chiaki calls out "Explosively completed!"
Hanto punches the older boy in the side "That's the Tomica Hero Rescue Force series, baka-nii!"
Kogane smiles, "They did it."
Later, when things have returned back to normal (as it would get in this dimension for its inhabitants)… The ones who were convinced she was a goddess of love, which has increased due to interested ears, are pestering Noriko.
Noriko asks Ranma's former fiancés, "Can you tell me the descriptions of this mature woman who said I was some love goddess?" Ukyo sighs, "Well, she had a white overcoat over a white dress, a wide-brimmed fedora, short blonde hair, she spoke with a motherly voice, and her name was Natsuki." "Yes, yes" nods Shampoo.
'Natsuki?' gasps Noriko, 'She warns me that forcing Masaru-kun to stay in my home dimension would only disaster even if he left me behind, and now I hear that she told Ranma's fiancé brigade that I was some love goddess? Something is wrong with this scenario.'
Then she asks them, "Did this Natsuki mention anything about Kamen Rider Aikusha?" The girls shake their heads in response, "Nope, not at all, just you will come and fix our love lives."
Noriko says, "Okay… if you want me to fix your love lives, here are my opinions;
(to Shinobu) "Of course it he was serious about his decision.
(to Kodachi) "No, he doesn't love you.
(to Shampoo) "The Amazon laws don't apply here in Japan. Go to the arms of Mousse-san, he's better for you.
(to Ukyo) "Sorry, Ranma-san does still like you but he only likes you as a friend. Konatsu-san may not seem like much but he's an okay groom candidate.
(to Hojo) "Yes, she likes her life with Inuyasha.
(to Eri, Ayumi, & Yuka) "By the way, no, they have never actually met any famous historical person but they do like today's food.
(to all of them) "And all of this pales into utter insignificance in light of the fact that I could not actually be a love goddess. Understand?"
The fiancés and friends of the crew's newest friends gawk before fainting in response.
Noriko "I guess you do."
Looking at Masaru who is making amends with the three main Riders of this dimension… "Masaru-kun," sniffles Noriko, "I promise I won't let you come to a sad end like in the Decade series."
A few days later at the Tendou Dojo… Ranma is packing for another journey, as are Masaru and his team who gave copies of certain things.
"Where are you going, Ranma?" calmly asks Akane. Ranma sighs "Now that I know what I must use my martial arts for and why, as well as teach it to others, I need to keep the Akumajin from arising again."
Akane sighs, "Please visit sometime." Ranma looks at her in confusion, she quickly replies "Even with the permanent copies of the gear she gave to Nabiki and Kasumi, along with my Choufujin transformation ability and the copies of those Imagin she gave us. Which is a surprise for everybody when Masaru found out she could do that, but that's not the point; the point is that you'll be missed if you leave now."
Ranma notices bandages on Akane's left hand, "Akane, your hand…" Akane says, "I've made it on purpose, as a reminder to never go back to the life I once led." She removes the bandages to reveal cut marks that read 'fiancé' in kanji. Ranma gasps, "Ouch! Doesn't that hurt you?" "No more than everything we've had to endure" sighs Akane.
Ranma looks at her as he rewraps her cut hand, "When in Choufujin Form you've got an accelerated healing rate, you may need something else as a reminder." Akane sighs, "I still need your company."
"I'll come by often," smiles Ranma as he kisses Akane's forehead, "and that's a promise I will honor."
As Ranma walks out of the guestroom with a bag full of stuff he packed for his current planned travels, Akane touches the spot he had kissed, and then she sighs, and finally smiles "Ranma…"
He walks downstairs to look at Nodoka Red (his mother possessed by a female Momotaros) chasing Genma, Kuno, and Happosai with cool sword attack moves, Nabiki with Denebi in a chokehold, Soun playing Shogi with Kintara, and Kasumi having tea with Oddette, Ryutara, and Dr. Tofu.
Ranma lightly smiles, "Things are starting to look better. I'll miss you, Masaru."
"Ranma," calls Masaru "I've bought something for you as a going away present."
Ranma steps outside with Masaru (in normal modern day clothes since he undid the Adapt card's effects the day before) to see a Honda motorcycle of dark red with a gallant black stallion painted on the sides beside Masaru, he smiles in amazement "Whoa!"
Masaru shrugs "We couldn't call ourselves Kamen Riders if we don't have any rides, now can we?" Ranma shrugs back, "I guess."
Masaru says, "I've modified it so it can run on excess ki without hurting anybody so you wouldn't need to refuel it." Ranma looks at him and asks, "You've went to the old crone who leads the Amazons in China for that type of info, didn't you?" Masaru shrugs "I may have asked to be taught one or two things."
Inuyasha and Ataru show up with rides of their own; Ataru's is a white one with paintings of good luck ofudo on the sides and Inuyasha's has a cool-looking dog shaped emblems painted on the sides as well as 'Inu no Taishou' around the emblems.
Inuyasha scoffs, "Damn idiot, buying such awesome vehicles for a bunch of strangers." "Oh, come on, Inuyasha" pleads Ataru "Even Kagome said you look awesome on it. And who was it that smiled when he rode the street like a badass biker?" Inuyasha growls "URUSEI!"
The sound of Kagome's giggles is heard nearby, everyone turns to see her and Lum with Noriko and Masaru's crew. Inuyasha facefaults "Oh man!"
Everyone laughs a little though.
Masaru pulls out his Booker and waves a couple of Rider Cards over it——
"Rider Equip: Machine Aikusha!"
"Rider Equip: Aikusha Cruiser!"
Masaru's motorcycle rolls in by them. Masaru says, "We'll be heading off to another dimension." Chiaki says, "Thank god, I hope it's going to be something I'm familiar with." Hanto sighs, "I hope we don't run into more people who believe aniki is some destroyer of dimensions." Noriko gulps "I hope we find Masaru-kun's memories."
As they're about to leave——
"Hey, Masaru-kun" says Ranma. Masaru turns to face the three pigheaded male protagonists of three different stories, mainly Ranma.
Ataru smiles and does the Vulcan sign "Live long and prosper." Ranma smiles, "May the Force be with you." Inuyasha looks away and scoffs but slightly smiles "See ya."
Masaru smiles back and salutes to his newest friends (via Hibiki), "Je ne!"
In a flash of light, Masaru-kun and his crew vanishes from sight.
Akane calls out to Ranma, "Aren't you going to go with them?" Ranma says, "According to his analyzer, he'll call for a copy of me to assist him as well as complete the training they would've needed from me."
Up above, they see a spade-shaped spaceship rise into the heavens and disappearing from sight.
(Aikusha Cruiser— length: 36.6m; height: 15.1m; width: 32.1m; weight: 22,000t; power source: God's Heart Crystal Super-Engine; maximum power output: 10 YW/12 quintillion rpm; top speed: 75 parsecs per minute (0 to 60 parsecs per minute in 8s); estimated age: 19 years; maximum crew: 30; maximum passenger number: over 6000)
Kasumi comes out and looks at the departing ship, "Oh my! I do hope Kogane-chan will be alright with them."
Everyone looks at her, "KOGANE?!"
Appearing on the bridge, the group looks around to see that it's really big. Outside the bridge windshield, everyone sees that they're in outer space as of now.
"Gosh," blinks Noriko, "the bridge is even bigger than I thought it would be."
Chiaki, realizing his current position and location, starts to lose it, "Oh no… oh no! OH NO-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O-O!" Masaru just pinches the panicky guy in the neck, making him lose consciousness.
Hanto smiles and as giddy as he ever could at the sight! He even rushes to the windshield to look below and see the Earth, "It's so beautiful, just like my sister said it would be in her dreams!"
Uncle Takeshi sighs "Seeing things like this make me nostalgic for everything we would see in space opera movies like 'Star Wars'."
Dragging his motorcycle to a port that looks like it can dock one in place, like Machine Den-Bird is docked in the Den-Liner, Masaru says to everyone "I think that this place has a sort of series of inner space suppression units, just to grant us the great amount of space for equipment and needs, etc." The motorcycle transforms into Machine Aikusha as soon as it becomes docked in place, then protruding from the floor comes a small series of controls.
Uncle Takeshi says "This is apparently the primary controls." Masaru taps a few keys on a keyboard beside him, Hanto asks "What are you doing, aniki?" Masaru answers "If I have had my Aikusha Booker for many years, I might have had this ship too but it was waiting for me, so I thought I'd look up on the last log entry before my arrival to Noriko's home dimension."
A holographic screen pops up and shows a list of dates, he scans up to the top "Hmm… 'Date of Creation: January 2nd, 1990.' According to this, the Aikusha Gear was finished for me the day I was born." Noriko asks, "So this ship, that motorcycle, and your Booker was made for you when you were born?" Masaru nods, "Yeah. But when I'm trying to access whatever happened to me during my childhood, each date and entry is encrypted so it blocks with some code that has to be decoded some other way. However, some time before I was brought to your home dimension, the Aikusha Cruiser brought me there as a last minute emergency escape."
Then he blinks in confusion, sniffs the air, "Smells like someone is cooking, but who could be cooking here? I mean we've only just arrived here a couple of minutes ago." After sniffing the smell, Noriko nods "That is rather unusual." Uncle Takeshi shrugs "Smells good though."
A pressure door in the back of the bridge room opens to reveal restaurant cart carrying several platters of stereotypical modern Japanese lunch. But the biggest surprise is that Kogane is pushing that very cart by herself.
"KOGANE-SAN?" exclaim Masaru and Noriko in unison.
Back on Ranma's Earth…
"Huh?" asks a surprised Nabiki "Kogane left us for that Masaru guy?" Denebi adds in "She also left Akane-san a fortune to support herself and Ranma-san as she sees fit. She found her own path of Heaven to follow as she said."
(A/N: 'Tendou' does mean 'path of heaven')
Nabiki reels her fist to bang against Denebi's head, "Why couldn't she take you while she was at it?!"
Akane waves to Ranma, "Have a safe journey, Ranma!" Ranma waves back, "Expect me visiting from time to time."
Ranma revs his new bike up and like a shot, he rides off a little too quickly for a start. From a distance, Ranma-chan's voice is heard "Whoa, too much throttle… but I like it!"
Bringing Kagome to saddle up behind him, Inuyasha sighs, "Damn, that guy's reckless as a horse." Ataru shrugs, "Hence his namesake."
Back on the Aikusha Cruiser, everyone talks to Kogane's reason for coming with them——
"So, Kogane-san," asks Masaru "will you please tell us why you would want to come with us?" She smiles as she explains to everyone, "The way you've talked to everyone and handled everything with a heroic heart…" and finally, showing stars in her eyes she exclaims happily "you've just won mine, my own man to take place of a Tendou, Masaru-sama!"
"EH?!?" exclaim Masaru, Noriko, and Chiaki in shock.
She then clings onto Masaru, "Make me yours, Masaru-sama!"
As he struggles to get her off, he sees some of the entries in the ship's log open up, "Oh my gosh! A few documents are opened!"
Noriko gasps, "That must mean you are getting a step closer to rediscovering your childhood and the path to your home dimension!" In the excitement, she runs off through the door.
Hanto smiles, "This is exciting, aniki!"
Masaru smiles a little, "Thanks for mentioning it.
Noriko returns with another cart with Masaru's two birthday cakes she got back home (which are still looking good), "Please, let us eat these cakes quickly! Uncle Takeshi has preserved these in case we've still had the time to eat them!"
But the excitement causes her to bump into the first cart that also causes to send the Kamen Rider themed cake flying at Masaru, "OH NO!"
SPLUT!
Masaru is knocked off his bike and has cake on his face, literally.
He shrugs off the embarrassment and laughs a little, licking his face "Nagi-san of the sweet shop back in your dimension makes great cake."
Of course, everyone laughs with him.
Later, the three main Kamen Riders of the Rumiko Takahashi dimension are seen riding down the road.
To be continued…
