As Vale continues its usual doings, they weren't aware of a rift appearing in an alley as a a figure rolled across the ground and looked back at the rift. "Kisama...better get away from him before he finds me." he quickly returned to what looks to be a human form and left the alley.

The rift was still left open before an armored figure landed on his feet, green lenses glowing in the darkness. Behind him, the rift closed as he got out a device. "Yusuke-san, he ran into this dimension. I'll meet you guys at a good location once I find a place for the Studio to be at." the armored figure was male based on the voice.

"Okay Tsukasa-san. But be careful, you don't know if this world has a Rider or not. You may end up being either alone or in danger." This 'Yusuke' replied, warning him to be safe.

"Hai." He nodded before ending the call. He looked at his waist as he removed a card out of the belt, canceling his armor before walking out of the alley. When he took notice of the place, he grabbed his camera and took photos. "I might like this place." he smiled before walking into the city to find a location.

(Insert opening song - This Will Be The Day - RWBY Vol.1 Opening)

The start first starts off with a guitar strumming a bit before the lyrics start.

[They see you as small and helpless. They see you as just a child]

The screen shifts to Cody sitting upon a rooftop in the middle of the night. He sits their as he looks at the Ore Eyecon in his hand.

[Surprise when they find out that a warrior will soon run wild]

Something then goes amiss as Cody quickly looks up to see a fire outbreak near by. He then smirks as he jumps off of the roof.

[Prepare for your greatest moments. Prepare for your finest hour.]

The title card then appears as it shines a bit before shifting down after Cody.

[The dream that you've always dreamed is, Suddenly about to flower]

As Cody runs through the road, he passes by a single rose in a pot, a snowflake in a store, a cat in an alley way, and finally a single ember flicker from a window of an occupied house.

[We are lightning]

Once he reaches the area, four shadows appear above him. Cody stops to see the shadows land in front of him.

[Straying from the thunder, Miracles of ancient wonder]

In front of him were Team Rwby smiling at him. Cody then smiles back as he grabs the lever of the Ghost Driver on his waist and pushes it in to don on the Ghost Damashii.

[This will be the day we've waited for, This will be the day we open up the door]

Fight then breaks out as Cody and Team Rwby are fighting against the Grimm and the Ganma as they clash it out together.

[I don't wanna hear your absolution, Hope you're ready for a revolution]

As they fight them, Team JNPR drop down to assist them as they battle some more highly evolved Ganma.

[Welcome to a world of new solutions, Welcome to a world of bloody evolution]

As both teams fight their enemies, Roman is standing on a roof near by, watching them fight along with Ara and his benefactor as they grin from ear to ear about some special plan they have in-stored for them all.

[In time-your heart will open minds]

As the fight continues, the teams are surrounded by Ganma and Grimm as they approach them all. And out from the distance is Ozpin watching them all along with Sennin as he smiles and offers them some power.

[A story will be told , And victory is in a simple soul]

Energy flows into Cody, Team RWBY and JNPR. They all then nod at each other as Cody activates his OmegaDrive. They all then jump at the enemies, delivering their own special attack as Cody flies at the screen with a rider kick, smashing through and showing the title card one last time.

A few weeks passed since the concert. Everyone in school has already heard and even more so that the song they sang is now out in stores and ready to buy. Cody didn't mind much, but Axel on the other hand today was surrounded by girls, asking for his autograph. He was nervous as well since he wasn't much of a singer since he is more of a fighter and practice by the day.

But luckily enough Weiss was able to help him away from the girls, somehow intimidating them to leave. Once gone they relax on the roof so no one could get them. "I never would've expected so many to come to you, just due to the song.." Weiss pointed out.

"Aurora thought it would be a good idea for me to sing with Cody and her…" Axel explained.

Weiss turned to him, to see what looks like a saddened yet confused look. "What wrong Axel? Ever since that day, you've been coming up here all the time…" Weiss asked him.

"I-It's nothing to worry about, Weiss…." He muttered.

She then poked his cheek, making him look at her, to which she now has an angry look to her face. "Don't you dare say that Axel. I always worry about your, I'm your girlfriend after all. If you're having troubles, I'm supposed to help you out with them." She frowned at him.

Axel looked at her before he sighed. "It's just… I don't know about my path…"

"Path?"

"My path keeps leading me in different ways… ever since I trained myself to fight, before becoming Specter." He explained. "At first… my path was to do missions for Alan in the past that relate to traitors of the Ganma. When I became 18 years old, it was to find answers of the eyecons, killings those that get in my way… then it went to this." he gestured to his surroundings. "Staying here to help you guys fight against stronger enemies, enemies that are stronger than any of you. That was why I was training Cody and Jaune; to help them be prepared to fight those like the Chimera Grimm, the Ganma Commander Javel, even Alan since he learned how to fight from my teachings…"

Weiss was surprised to hear this from him. She never doubted his reasons to fighting. But this one… was completely new. She then placed her hand on his cheek, smiling softly at him. "Axel… You may be confused, but trust me.. You'll be able to find what your path is in time.. You did so for me, and I know you can for yourself as well…" She then leaned in as she kisses him gently.

Axel's eyes soften before letting out a small smile. "You're right." he nodded, making her smile grow.

Before they can continue talking, they heard the door open behind them, making them look and see Ruby. "Hey you two!" She sped towards the couple. "Did you guys hear? There's a photo studio opening in Vale!"

"Huh?" The two blinked.

"You heard me! A new Photo Studio has opened, and so far everyone is liking his pictures! Come on, let's take one already!" She beamed as she grabbed the two and started to make her way to it, dragging them by their arms.

They then reached it as Cody, the rest of RWBY and JNPR along with Luna were there, but oddly enough there was a very large line coming from the store. They looked at the sign on the sign as it said, 'Hikari Studio'.

"Hi-Kari Studio?" Weiss pronounced. "This is the place you are talking about, Ruby?"

"Mhm! They opened up a while ago, and at first it wasn't doing so well, but now!" She gestured to the crowd. "It seems people are liking his photo! I even got mine yesterday with Crescent Rose!" She beamed as she showed them the said picture.

"Who took the photo?" Yang asked.

A flash caught their attention, making them turn their heads and see man around his early 30's. He was wearing a brown trenchcoat with a magenta shirt underneath. On his legs were black pants and shoes as he lifted up a unique camera. It was a pink twin lensed reflex blackbird, fly 135 camera as he snapped a few more photos at them.

"That's him!" Ruby pointed at the man.

The man chuckled as he bowed slightly. "The name is Tsukasa Kadoya, nice to meet you all." he introduced himself.

"What's with the pink shirt?" Jaune pointed at the shirt, making Pyrrha elbow him.

If they have noticed, Tsukasa's eyebrow twitched upon the remark but chose not to say anything. "Anyways, I take you are here for your photos?"

Ruby nodded. "Mhm! One with our teams then all of us together!" She beamed, pointing to the others and introducing them.

"I see…" The camera then spat out the few photos as he handed them to the group. "Here, that'll be around 50 Lien please?" He asked, his hand out to them.

Axel walked up and handed it to him. The moment Axel handed Tsukasa the money, Tsukasa felt familiarity upon seeing the young man but also a power within him. "Here you go." Axel said.

Tsukasa got out of his stupor before smiling and putting the lien away. "Thank you," he then looked around then at the group. "Mind if I ask you all something?"

"What is it?" Cody asked.

"I'll tell you inside the Studio, if you all may follow me."

They all looked at each other before shrugging and heading inside one of the other entrances, following the strange man.

When they entered, they walked past the photography room and were greeted with what looks to be a living room of some sort. "Oi, Yusuke, you here!?" he called out.

Out from the photo room came a young man in his mids 20's, wearing a bright red hoodie and grey pants. His hair was black and was very messy as he made his way into the room. "Hm? What is it Tsukasa?" He asked.

Tsukasa walked up to him before whispering something that the others couldn't hear as they saw his eyes widen slightly. Tsukasa then nodded before they looked at the group. "If we may ask, are you two Kamen Riders?" Yusuke asked, pointing at Axel and Cody.

This though made everyone flinch as they looked at each other then back at the two. "Y-Yes.. We are. How did you know about it?" Cody asked them, starting to wonder if they fell into a trap?

They took notice of a belt, literally appearing on his waist while Tsukasa presented a card that showed an image of a pink (Magenta!) armored figure with green lenses as eyes, horns and a face resembling a barcode. The words on the card said Decade. "Cause the both of us are Kamen Riders, Yusuke is the first Heisei era Rider." Tsukasa answered.

This made everyone gasp in surprise. Both Cody and Axel's eyes were widen with shock as well. "Y-You're the first?" Cody gasped.

"I am," Yusuke nodded. "Kamen Rider Kuuga." He jabbed his thumb at Tsukasa. "He's the tenth Heisei era Rider, Decade."

"Just how many Riders are there?" Yang asked them.

"From what I learned, 16 but seeing you two, 17 eras of Heisei Riders." Tsukasa answered. "Then there's the secondaries from Agito's era to Drive's." He then told them all the names of every Rider from Kuuga to Drive's.

"Drive? You know Jacob then?" Weiss asked.

"I do know him. I came here one time by mistake when he was fighting a Roidmude." Tsukasa answered with a nervous chuckle.

"Woah… so many Kamen Riders…" Ruby and Jaune muttered in awe from hearing the number of Kamen Riders there are.

"But of course that's just us Heisei. The Showa Riders though, are in a league we can never get to." He said as he sat down and drank some tea, left for Yusuke. "They were our predecessors before we came in. However, before Drive arrived, we were at war against each other."

This made them look at him with shock. "You… were at war?" Axel asked, his fist trembling.

"Yes. The Showa/Heisei War. A war between us Heisei Riders against the Showa Riders." Yusuke nodded. "The Showa Riders believed we weren't meant to be considered Riders like them. But we all didn't know a dark plan that was formed behind it, it all happened at Zawame City. Most of the city was destroyed because of the battle."

This made everyone feel uncomfortable upon hearing this. They had no idea how any of there were, but the thing that shook them the most was that they had a war with each other, ones who can be considered heroes. "W-What happened after that…?" Ruby asked nervously.

"As the war continued, there was an organization that planned on bringing dead souls to take over. They called themselves Underground Badan." Tsukasa answered. "As we fought, we became Lockseeds, items of power for a certain group of Riders. However two Riders foiled their plan as we all fought against the organization as one."

"Who?"

"Gaim and ZX." Yusuke answered. "They and the rest of us defeated the organization but… we still had to end the war." They all looked down from hearing that. "However…" Their heads perked up. "Gaim stopped Ichigou as he was defending the one thing that showed the true meaning to a Kamen Rider."

Axel and Cody looked at him, oddly enough wanting to know. "And what was that?" Axel asked him.

"A simple flower." Yusuke answered, making them sweatdrop and confused.

"A flower, seriously?" Yang raised an eyebrow.

"It's a symbol…" Axel said, all attention on him. "A flower is considered a symbol of life. Remember, it starts out as a seed but as days go by it eventually blooms, showing its petals for others to see. A flower shows that even life can be of the smallest things."

Tsukasa smiled. "Exactly. For us Kamen Riders, we may have our own beliefs, but to save any innocent life it is the way to truly be a Kamen Rider. And Gaim deserved the title for he is truly considered one for what he has done."

"Wow…" Ruby said in awe.

"So, why did you bring us in here anyways?" Blake asked him, getting to the conclusion.

"Seeing as how these two are the newest Heisei Era Riders and familiar with this part of town, we need your help." Tsukasa explained.

"Our help?" Cody pointed at himself along with Axel.

"Yes, a member of Dai-Shocker escaped into this dimension and we are trying to apprehend him."

"Dimension?" Axel repeated before realization hit all of them like bricks.

"Oh yes. I forgot to tell you, that me and Yusuke are from two alternate worlds." Tsukasa answered, bluntly.

"EEEEEHHHHHH!?" They all exclaimed in shock.

"Us Riders come from different worlds, some having more than one Primary Rider." Tsukasa explained. "This place, Hikari Studio, is what allows Yusuke, and the Hikari family to travel through worlds that I go to."

"Hikari Family?" Cody asked, pointing their names out.

Before Tsukasa answered, he began to laugh like a maniac as he fell to the ground, laughing. They looked back up and saw a young woman with long black hair, wearing a white blouse shirt and a skirt, with grey stockings and high heels. Her hand was raised with two fingers out. "Baka, you should have told me you were back here." she huffed.

Yusuke moved to the group and pointed at the girl, "That's Hikari Natsumi, Tsukasa's fiance and Kamen Rider Kivala."

"EH!?" The girls exclaimed in surprise, including Cody.

Yusuke looked at them, "You didn't know that there were girls Rider too?" He asked them. They all shook their heads as Axel just watched Tsukasa laugh on the ground.

"Is he going to be okay?" He asked, although was slightly petrified by Natsumi if she can handle a Rider that easily.

"He'll be fine." Natsumi assured. As she walked around the chair a white bat flew to her shoulder. It was a tiny bat with large eyes in the shape of hearts.

"It happens with Tsukasa-san all the time when Natsumi-chan does that." The bat said.

"A cute bat!" Ruby squealed as she hugged it tightly.

"Careful with Kiva-la" Natsumi informed. "I think you are suffocating her."

"Natsumi-chan… help!" Kivala gasped out from the hug.

"Oh! Sorry." She giggled as she let the small bat go. The bat quickly flew to Natsumi, hugging her arm as she hid from Ruby.

"Anyways…" Yusuke looked at the group. "Can you help us find the man we are after?"

"Sure. But who are you looking for?" Cody asked, the first one to want to help them.

Tsukasa managed to stop his laughing before getting back up. "His name is Guy." he answered, making them sweatdrop.

"Seriously?" Weiss asked. "What kind of name if that?"

"Trust me, I thought the same too, but he is indeed a threat." Tsukasa said. "He's the next incarnate of the power of Apollo… I mean…. Super Apollo Geist… An old enemy from Shocker."

"Then we'll help," Axel volunteered.

The two veteran Riders smiled, "Thank you all. We will go into groups to find Apollo Geist. Yusuke-san, you, Cody, Yang, Pyrrha and Jaune will head north part of Vale. Natsumi-san, take Ruby, Nora, Ren, and Blake to the west part of Vale. Axel, Weiss, Luna, and I will head to the south part of Vale." he suggested. They all nodded as Tsukasa continued, "Be careful thought. He isn't someone to think you can beat easily. Trust me, it wasn't easy for Yusuke and myself."

Everyone nodded as Cody and Axel stood up. "Ready?" He asked his friend.

Axel nodded as they all made their way out with Natsumi informing her grandfather of where they are going.

Cody and his group were walking around the school area the mos, believing this would be the perfect target of this enemy's attack. "So Yusuke? How long have you been a Rider?" Cody asked, wanting to know more about his predecessor, or how Yusuke says it, "Sempai".

"For the past 15 years." he answered with a smile. "I was around my early 20s when I started to fight."

"Woah... " Cody awed. "Um… how were you able to continue through it? Doesn't it get hard?"

"It does but the one thing that made me go through it was the people's smiles. It was the one thing I wanted to see and protect." He answered. "The Grongi were tough enemies but in the end… it was worth it. Because of my will to protect everyone and their smiles, I reached to a greater ability thanks to Tsukasa-san."

"Greater ability?" Yang asked.

"My Ultimate Rising form, the strongest power ever known to every Rider." he answered before looking at them. "But it is also dangerous. For it can make me go berserk at a cost… and should I ever do go out of control like that… Tsukasa said I have enough power to destroy the world… Twice over."

This made the group go pale from hearing how much power he had. Cody though was scared.. Not due to his potential power, Yusuke has, more of if he could go out of control like that too? "H-How… How can you manage such overwhelming power?" He asked him.

"My friends." Yusuke smiled at the memories. "My friends were the reason and reminder. If it wasn't for them, I would have gone berserk like before."

For some reason, this made Cody smile a bit, seeing such a pure hearted soul do these things spite the fact of the possibility of him going out of control. It was very inspiring.

Yusuke then turned to the young Rider. "So, what about you? What made you become a Rider?" He asked, the group somewhat flinching from that question.

"Well you see, about Cody…" Jaune rubbed the back of his head.

"I died to get it…" He responded, bluntly and surprising the others.

"Eh?" Yusuke said before turning around to look at Cody. He looked at him for a moment before poking his forehead a couple of times then checked his wrist and felt nothing. "EH!?"

Ruby, Nora, Ren, and Blake were following Natsumi as they were searching for Guy on their end, mostly walking around town. "So! Is that little bat an albino? Where did she come from?" Nora asked Natsumi, looking at Kivala. "Does she eat fruit?"

"I do apologize for Nora's behavior." Ren apologized.

Natsumi giggled slightly. "It's… okay. She's used to it thanks to our adventures with Den-O once before." she said.

"Is he one of the Heisei Riders that Tsukasa mentioned?" Ruby asked.

"Yes they are." Natsumi replied.

"They?"

"Den-O is more than one person you see. He first started out as one person, before gaining his Rider powers with the 5 Imagin's he contracted. But after awhile, they became Den-O one in all, with a few times being with him." Natsumi explained.

"Wow…" Ruby said in awe. "The other Riders must have cool weapons!" She stopped before quickly looking at Natsumi and got in front of her. "Can I see what type of weapon you have?!"

"Oh? Uh… sure, Kival-la." Natsumi called out to her.

Kival-la flew down as Natsumi catched her, she then held the tiny bat in front of the others. "Henshin." She called out.

CHU!

Pink energy hearts flew out of Kival-la's eyes as it started to fly around her, almost like cherry blossoms as they then began to place onto her body, forming her armor. The hearts then pulsed away from her, showing her armor. It was mostly white with some silver around her, on the front was some dark blue with a silver breastplate like bra on top. She even had a silvery skirt wrapped around her waist along with the tiny bat acting as her belt, on her head was what looks like a bat helmet with red eyes and a yellow gem in the shape of a heart, in her had was a small rapier sword with a bat wing as its guard. "In this form, I'm Kamen Rider Kival-la!" She announced.

Ruby ogled at the armor and weapon as she looked at Kival-la from all directions, even from above. Nora copied her actions as well, both very interested in her Rider suit. Even Blake and Ren were taking notice of her armor, still surprised she can do that.

"This is so cool!" Nora and Ruby said.

With Weiss, Axel, Luna, and Tsukasa, they were at the south end of Vale around the forest area, walking around in search for Guy.

"So, you had amnesia for awhile before you became Decade?" Luna asked him, wanting to know a bit more.

"Yes but I eventually remembered who I really was…" his head lowered. "I was once the leader of the same organization that wanted to destroy the worlds."

This made Axel turn to him, surprised. "You? You were apart of this… 'Shocker'? Why?"

"To what Shocker always does, control the worlds." He answered before looking at Axel. "I take you had a similar experience?"

Axel looked away from that question. "Used to…" He muttered.

"You see Tsukasa… my brother trained intensely since the both of us were trapped in the Ganma world." Luna explained. "They tortured him if he made a mistake during training… eventually he perfected each part of the training, making him a commander…" Hearing this surprised Tsukasa along with Weiss.

"You… were the commander…?" Weiss asked. Axel nodded, "I was given the task to kill any Ganma that are traitors…" he answered lowly. "I know I told you and Luna knew but Alan was the one I mentored into fighting from what I learned before and after ending up in that place."

"How did you survive in that place…?" Tsukasa asked.

"There was one Ganma who treated us kindly to me and Luna. Her name is Alia…."

Tsukasa frowned slightly, being reminded of his own sister upon their talks. "I take it, that she was the only one to show kindness huh?"

The Saber siblings nodded. "She was like a second mother to us…" Luna answered. "She took care of the both of us. She was also Alan's older sister, eldest of the three."

"Wait, Alan has two siblings?" Weiss asked.

"Alan is the youngest while Alia is the oldest but the middle is Adel… I hated that guy." Axel said. "He was the one who insisted on the torture to me from Javel's soldiers. He prevented Alan from helping me."

This made Weiss gasp and Tsukasa frown. "I'm sorry you went through so much trauma." He apologized.

"I still stood strong after all that I went through for 10 years… but when I was only 14… Luna got an illness when she was there…" he continued. "No cure… she wasn't gonna make it…"

"Until Alan suggested that I be put in an Eyecon…" Luna added. "I wanted to stay with my brother so… I accepted it…"

"Eyecon?" Tsukasa asked, wanting to know a bit more about this world.

"It holds a soul of a figure. A Luminary Eyecon holds the soul of a famous person like Beethoven, Nobunaga, or Musashi." He presented the Specter Eyecon. "Some contain power like this one… this Eyecon is strength based on how strong the soul is…"

Tsukasa took it, examining it closely. "I see… So then I take it there are Rider Eyecon's too?"

He presented the OOO eyecon. "Cody has two Rider Eyecons: Drive and Wizard."

"Ah.. Didn't know there was another version of Haruto here too." He said, amused as he handed him his Eyecon back. "So.. how did you escape the Ganma world?"

"When I was 17, I somehow received a note from one of the Ganma, don't know which, that gave me a way to escape the place. Seeing it as my only chance I took it and eventually left that place. I woke up in the shores of Vale, equipped with the Ghost Driver and the Specter Eyecon… but…" He looked down. "When I heard how the Eyecons give the person a wish, I had to find the others and so… I killed to get my answers but the other times I fight to put them in prison for the past year before meeting Weiss and the others…" His hair shadowed his eyes. "I wasn't proud for what I did… not one bit… I fully regretted it"

"You don't feel like you've earned this new path, do you?" He asked, hitting the nail on the head.

"I don't think I deserve my right to even live to what I have done…"

Weiss and Luna frowned as they placed their hands on his shoulder. "I can relate more than you know Axel…" Tsukasa muttered as he started to walk ahead of the group.

Axel looked up at Tsukasa. "What do you mean…?"

"I was trying to find my path as a Kamen Rider as I fight." He answered. "I was either a destroyer of worlds… or a savior of worlds…"

This made Axel look at Tsukasa in a new light. 'Did… he go through what I am going through now?' He thought to himself.

Back at Cody's group, the two Rider Eyecon's light up in his pocket, he takes them out as they glow brightly, looking at the others. "We have company…."

The group got into their battle stances as they looked at their surroundings. What came out were several battlecries, all screaming "EEEE!" out loud. Out from the area were several humans, in black bodysuits. Each one had a skeleton design with a belt on their waist showing what looks like a large bird hovering over the world. 5 more came out, each one looking like what seems to be a commander, but almost looking goofy like as well?

"Who are these guys?" Yang asked, her Ember Celica out.

"We are SHOCKER! We've come to not only destroy your damn Riders, but also conquer this world!" One the leaders shouted out.

Yusuke got into a stance as he speaks up, "Cody, Yang, Jaune, Pyrrha, those are SHOCKER combatmen… minions to the SHOCKER organization."

"No need to tell me twice!" Cody shouted out as he strapped the Driver on. "Let's get them check in for a tune up!" He stated as he clicked on Drive's Eyecon.

EYE!

BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA!

Drive's Damashii flew out as it struck the several Shocker grunts that charged at them, giving them some room as he pushes in the lever.

KAIGAN! DRIVE!

KEIKAN SEGI-KAN! TIRE KOUKAN!

Cody donned on his Ghost - Drive Damashii as he withdrew its weapons and charged into the fight. Slicing and shooting at whatever comes his way. But for the others, sides Yusuke, they seemed to be only damaging them, instead of killing, to which confused him.

"Why are they only getting damages?" Cody asked, avoiding an attack.

Yusuke wondered the same thing as he avoided an attack. "Henshin!" He shouted as he did a stance before spreading his arms down before armor appeared on his body one by one. He was covered in red armor with his chest reminded those of muscles with gold trimmings. His armor was red with gold cuffs while his helmet was that of a stag beetle with two long horns, big red bug-like eyes and a mouthplate.

This was Kamen Rider Kuuga!

One of the grunts came up with his blade, ready to chop down Jaune, but Kuuga quickly grabbed it as he took it out of its hands before stabbing it in the head. He then turns and helps up Jaune. "Why aren't you stopping them completely?" He asked.

"I... I don't know why you're asking me to kill… these people?" Jaune asked, looking up at Kuuga. "They're humans right? Just being controlled?"

"That may be true, Jaune but these are people who want to take over the world and kill innocent people." Kuuga answered.

"Jaune, remember how Axel was?" Cody reminded, slashing a SHOCKER combatman away from Pyrrha. "He did the same thing in order to protect Luna and get her back. He did the same thing when he saved Weiss."

"Sides, while they are human looking, they are not like who they were before… Only monsters being controlled by Shocker." Kuuga said as he punched away one that was coming closer to them. "Remind yourself to why you want to be a protector of this world."

Jaune looked down at himself, thinking it over. As one of the grunts rushed up to Pyrrha again, its blade was blocked by Jaune as he sliced it down, it fell to the ground as it exploded into ash. He yelled out a battle cry as he charged back, Cody and the others smiling as they get to work on the enemies in their area.

With Nataumi, Nora, Ruby, Blake, and Ren were gonna head back after finding no leads. However they heard battlecries. "EEEEE!"

They looked around before they saw a group of men in black bodysuits with skeleton design on them with silver belts. "Shocker!" Natsumi shouted as she brandished her sword as the others got ready to fight as well.

"Who are they?" Ruby asked her.

"Minions of Shocker…" She muttered. "Don't worry if you think they're human, they lost their rights to be called that once they submitted to Shocker. Think of them as just souls husks or those beasts you call Grimm!" she said to them as she charged in, slashing each one that comes to her.

The others looked at each other nervously but they trusted her as they started to fight back. But after each one they beat, they noticed it exploded into ash, like when Cody and Axel fought some of those Ganma and others monsters.

"These are like Grimm and those monsters that Cody and Axel fight," Ruby said, the concern slightly being lifted off her shoulders. Nora used her Magnhild and got into a baseball stance. "Nora is on the field!" She joked as she got ready. "Batter up!" She swung it at the approaching SHOCKER trooper, sending it flying into the sky before it became a twinkle in the sky. "Home run!"

Blake is twirling her Gambol Shroud like a whip, sending it to whoever gets near her while the ones that do were easily sliced up by her sheath blade, cutting them down with ease, while Ren is using his Martial Arts and his StormFlower to shoot or cut anything in his way. As they battle it out, although Natsumi is pondering something. 'Just what are they after?' She thought to herself.

With Tsukasa, Luna, Weiss, and Axel, they were gonna head back to Hikari studio until the dimension Rider stopped, his arm out, stopping the group. "What is it?" Luna asked.

Tsukasa looked around before he quickly got out a device that was a pearl color with symbols of the first 10 Heisei Riders. "We got company." he informed.

In front of them stood a man in his early 20's with silver short hair, and wearing a lab coat with black clothes underneath. Near him were several hoards of enemies around him. "Decade… I am still surprise you're trying to find me? I must congratulate you on that…"

"Guy, you have nowhere to run this time." Tsukasa informed, placing the Buckle to his waist, a belt forming around him. "And why run to this world?" he questioned as Weiss got her Myrtenaster ready and Axel made his Ghost Driver appear around his waist while Luna hid behind Weiss who was protecting her.

"Simple… This place has wonderful experiment subjects ready to be used…" He replied before turning his gaze towards Luna. "And one in particular seems to be the best subject for it…" He grinned.

Axel stood by Tsukasa's side. "You aren't getting near my sister you bastard." he growled as he presented his Specter Eyecon and placed it in his Driver and did his pose.

EYE!

BATCHIRIMIRO! BATCHIRIMIRO!

"Oh? A new Rider? He also would be a good choice too." Guy mused. The Specter Damashii floated around Axel as he said, "Hen..shin!" He pushed the lever.

KAIGAN! SPECTER…

READY GO! KAKUGO!

DOKI, DOKI, GHOST!

Specter flicked his hood down as Tsukasa presented his DECADE card. "Henshin!" He placed it in the DecaDriver.

KAMEN RIDE

He closed the Driver as it showed the symbol of the Rider.

DECADE!

Several white pillars formed around him before fusing together onto Tsukasa. Once done, several lines floated out of the driver before placing onto his helmet, the gem on top shines as agenta flows down through the suit. It had a large black and white 'X' slanted on his chest while his face looks like a devil and a barcode on it.

"Get them…" Guy pointed as the several Shocker grunts charge in, blades held high as they shout 'EEE!' at them.

"Weiss, protect my sister, Tsukasa and I will handle these punks!" Specter informed. Weiss nodded as the two stood back as the two Riders charged in to fight against the SHOCKER combat troopers. Specter delivered the first punch as he used his training to punch through the first minion but as another tried to get him from behind, he flipped over before grabbing his head and snapped it, the latter turning into ashes. He then used his Semblance, producing the light which created his sword and chains that wrapped around his forearm before slashing another into ashes.

Decade whistled. "Well, not only are you brutal, but you have some unique tricks up your sleeve." He stated as he withdrew a card, it looked like it was him on it, holding a gun that was shooting several bullets before he places it into his driver.

ATTACK RIDE: BLAST!

He then grabbed his small booklet on his hip as he fold one part of it down, before pointing it to the group of grunts in front of him. He presses the trigger as energy version of it appeared next to it before they all unleashed a barrage of energy blasts the the group.

Guy then turns to see Weiss fending off the grunts as much as she could, a grin appearing on his face as he heads over there.

Specter stabbed one of the grunts with his sword before noticing Guy approaching Weiss and Luna. "Not this time you freak," He growled as the chains glowed before throwing his sword at Guy with the chain following with it as it unwraps from his forearm.

He then grabs the tip of the blade, not even fazing him as he turns to Specter. "It this yours?" He asks as he grabs it and yanks it, dragging Axel to him. Once he got close, Guy grabs hold of his neck, the Rider struggling in his grip. "You do have an interesting power I must admit, Rider. Producing pure light as a weapon was thought to be impossible." He then begins to squeeze on his neck.

"I've… been…. through worse… from…. guys like you…." Specter gasped out.

"Then, how about becoming a lab rat, as I dissect you… and your sister?" He grins, as he then pulls back his fist before sending out several hard punches, creating small shockwaves from the impact as sparks bleed off of his armor.

"Axel-san!" Decade called out, shooting another grunt away.

Specter slowly get up, coughing from under his helmet before looking at Guy. "You won't go near the only family I have left, Guy." He slowly got up. "I know I can win this." He produced his sword once again, going into his stance.

Guy just huffed, black and red smoke pouring out of his body and standing there was him in red armor, a white cape over his shoulder, while carrying a saw/shield and a unique rifle. On his face thought was some sort of horn, covered in stain glass. He then slowly points his rifle as Axel, energy starting to build up.

Decade took notice of this, "Axel-san, watch out!" He shouted as he rushed in. Guy then pulled the trigger as a large energy beam shoots out of it and strikes him and Decade.

"GAAAAHHH!" The two Riders screamed in pain as they were knocked back to the ground, showing their battered forms.

"AXEL! TSUKASA!" The two girls cried out.

As they were about to rush at them, in a second, he reappears behind them. Weiss was about to use her weapon until Super Apollo Geist quickly disarmed her. "Not this time." he said as he smacked her to the ground.

"Weiss!" Luna kneeled down to her friend, "Weiss get up!"

Super Apollo Geist laughed madly as he points his sword at her. "No one can't stop SHOCKER! Decade and those other Riders may be a nuisance to us but we will never give up!" He then grabs Luna by her hair before picking up an unconscious Weiss. "And I developed quite an appetite…" He grinned.

"RAAAAAH!" Super Apollo Geist quickly looked back and was greeted with a punch to his helmet, sending him away from the two. He shook his head before seeing Specter in front of the girls as he was breathing heavily but they could see the rage behind the helmet. "You will not harm anyone! You will never harm my family!"

"And how can you stop me? You are just a boy like Decade in the past!" He gloated. "You don't even know where you stand at. You're just hopeless…"

Specter clenched his hands. "That may be true…" He answered. "But that doesn't mean I can't find where my path lies like Tsukasa has." He looked at the SHOCKER agent. "My path lies on what I do! I may have walked through paths based on my actions but I know one thing, I fight to find answers or fight to protect… but my path… it lies to protecting my friends! Protecting my family! I AM A KAMEN RIDER!"

Suddenly, Decade's booklet opens up as a card flies out and into Specter hands, it was blank at first before it shines and reveals another card of 'Decade' but with a light blue tint in the background as it shines in his hand.

"Nani?" Super Apollo Geist said.

Not only that, three cards flew to Tsukasa's hand in which he observed it, revealing a card showing Ghost's face, another card showing Ghost above and below it is a large Eyecon and armor underneath, and the final one was a golden symbol of Ghost.

Specter drew the Eye seal in which, magenta-colored smoke took its place before a new Damashii flew out of it, making itself known. It was the same armor as Decade's. Magenta with a white and black 'X' on its chest, and on the top rim of the hood showed two small horns with its piercing magenta eyes in the hood.

"Help me find the path I have chosen! Help me follow the path of a Kamen Rider!" The Azure Rider announced. The Damashii nodded as it flew into its driver, popping out an eyecon with a black cover, magenta eye and a green iris. Along with on the top showing Decade's faceplate, R-10 on top and Decade on the bottom.

"Tsukasa… let's do this." Specter said as he pressed the Eyecon, showing the code "R-10" on it..

Decade nodded as he got the new card ready. "Right back at ya."

Super Apollo Geist glared at the two, feeling angered to what occurred. The two Riders have gained a new ability all from the vow!? "Who do you two think you are!?" He demanded.

Decade and Specter looked at each other before looking at the SHOCKER Agent. "We're just passing through Kamen Riders, remember that!" They said before Specter placed in the new Eyecon.

EYE!

BATCHIRIMIRO! BATCHIRIMIRO!

The Damashii flew out of the Ghost Driver and did its pose before flying around Specter. He tightened his grip on the lever. 'A Kamen Rider… fights to protect!' He exclaimed in thought before pushing the lever.

KAIGAN! DECADE!

YOMIKOMU CARD! KAO GA BARCODE!

The Damashii placed itself onto him, as it did, Decade's faceplate was placed on, along with Specter's two horns as well, the gems on them shining as the RideBooker appears in his hand. He placed the blade over his hand, the edge of it brushing against his fingers.

Decade opens his driver as he looks at the second Ghost card before looking up at the sky, "This may tickle…" He said as he placed the card in.

FINAL FORM RIDE: GH-GH-GHOST!

Out where Cody's groups at, Cody comes flying down with a Rider Kick as he destroys the two bosses that were standing in there way. He then sighs with relief as he turns to the others. But suddenly, his body glows as he groans in pain as his body floats up and starts to dislocate, form and shape into a large Ore Eyecon before flying off somewhere, leaving the group to look at each other, wondering what just happened?

And in seconds the large Ore Eyecon floats down to Decade as it comes apart and placed onto him, forming new armor, resembling Ghost - Ore Damashii while brandishing the GanGanSaber. "Hmm, this is new?" He said to himself.

"Hey what the heck happened to me!? Cody exclaimed, the Ore faceplate glowing in response of his voice.

"Don't worry, it happens whenever I use the Final Form Ride Card." Decade assured. "It happened to Yusuke and the others."

"Turn me back!" Cody shouted. "It feels so uncomfortable!"

"It will be quick since Super Apollo Geist is here." Decade said, "That and Axel is now using my power as well. And we are gonna show the SHOCKER Agent who he is messing with for harming those that are family and friends."

Specter- Decade Damashii nodded as he charged in, slashing at him, while Super Apollo Geist blocks with his shield. But in a second, it was disarmed by a shot from Decade - Ghost who somehow appeared behind him. Specter then slash him again, sending him flying into the rock wall near by.

"D-Damn you… Damn you lousy Kamen Riders!" He shouted in anger, pointing his gun at them both again.

Decade - Ghost got out a card. "And this might confuse you a bit more Cody-san."

KAMEN RIDE:

He closed the Driver with the Eye Seal appearing.

GHOST!

Cody then popped off of Decade as orange energy forms around him, making armor before another Ore Damashii pops out and onto him. "EH?!" Cody got out. He felt like he was looking at a doppelganger Rider, one who looks the same as Cody's armor except the belt was different.

"Since when can you do that?!" He shouted, demanding an answer.

"Since I became Decade." he shrugged before joining in to help Specter - Decade Damashii.

Super Apollo Geist roars as he begins to charge an even larger blast of energy at the three Riders. Decade - Ghost, Specter - Decade Damashii, and Ghost dodged the blast as Ghost struck the agent across the chest, making him stumble back before the two other Riders use their respective sword and delivered a cross slash on Super Apollo Geist, making him roll across the ground in pain, smoke appearing on him.

"Time to end this!" Specter shouted as he and Ghost pushed in their levers. Decade nodded as he placed in the final Ghost card.

DAI-KAIGAN!/FINAL ATTACK RIDE

ORE/DECADE: OMEGA-DRIVE!/GH-GH-GHOST!

Several golden cards of Decade appear in front of Specter as Ghost and Decade both gain orange glows on their feet as they all jump into the air and come down with a Triple Rider Kick, striking Super Apollo Geist and sending him flying into the mountain above, embedding in it.

"I-Impossible…. How can I lose to Decade again…?! How can I lose to the new Riders!" He shouted before he exploded, destroying the small mountain side he was embedded in.

The three Riders stood up as Specter ran to Weiss and Luna. "Luna, Weiss." He called out. Weiss slowly opened her eyes and saw her love in a new Damashii before she and Luna embraced him tightly. "Everything will be alright, you two. I won't let them hurt you again…" He assured softly. "I promise as a Kamen Rider."

A few hours later, everyone is no back at Hikari Studios, drinking some tea and having sweets as everyone relaxes for once.

"Wait, he actually turned you into a Damashii and became Ghost like you!?" Ruby asked.

Cody nodded, massaging his neck. "Yeah… it hurt like heck…" He groaned.

Tsukasa presented the three new cards he gained. "Both Axel-san and I gained new forms." he grinned. "At least now, I can see he is starting to walking the path he chose." he looked at the tea. "The same way I once went through."

"So what will you all do now? Go back to your world?" Blake asked them.

"My grandfather seems to enjoy this town," Natsumi smiled. "We wouldn't mind staying here since Super Apollo Geist has been taken care of thanks to you three."

Ruby then gasped, realizing something as she quickly grabbed the others and brought them into the center. "We still need to do our picture!"

"Wait, where's Axel?" Jaune noticed.

"He deserves to be alone for bit." Tsukasa informed. "Seeing as how he finally found his path, I think he needs to be alone."

Ruby frowned, "But.. my picture…" Tears built up as the others patted her head.

With Axel, he was on the rooftops, looking at the new Eyecon he obtained. "A Kamen Rider huh…?" he muttered to himself. For some reason, he felt the pressure being lifted off his shoulders after finally finding the path he chose.

It felt like he finally found his reason to fight.

Later on as night fell, Tsukasa was up in the main room as he walked up to a covered portrait before grabbing it and moving it aside. Behind it was a large painting, but he frowned upon the sight of it. It was a unique one, above it showed a red sky and several Ganma Eyecon's floating above it, down below showed a dark forest, overflowing with Grimm and a silhouetted figure, but if seemed to be female of course. And in the center was Beacon, on the right was RWBY, on the left was JNPR and in the middle was Cody and Axel, with the Ore and Specter Damashii floating above them. Yet one silhouette was shown behind the two along with a silhouette of an unknown Damashii, with green outlines and a figure behind it, showing only a large green iris.

"Whatever this world may have wonders… But what's about to come for the future… maybe too much for these greenhorns to handle.. For now, we'll wait… and should they need help, we will help them.." Tsukasa said, turning back to not only Yusuke, Natsumi and Kival-la, but also another figure in the back, only a bit of light shined on him, but the only thing that could be seen from that light was a red scarf, as the figure nodded, agreeing to help.

"Despite its peace, some are aware of what goes on in the shadows. Specter knows what is happening from what he told me." Tsukasa added. "We have to be ready for what is to come for them." Everyone nodded, preparing for whatever may come to this world, they may have their own Riders, but a few more would be needed.

A/N: Hello minna! Hope you enjoyed the new Eyecon? Also, very sorry to everyone, I thought for sure, it would be at least a day or two before someone guess the right Eyecon.. SO, to make up for it, I will make a new contest, the Winner gets their OC and becomes Dark Ghost.

But that contest won't start until Vol 3 begins. :/ Gotta get more info on him to come out since he was just revealed for the Ghost Movie.

Until then, later minna!
