Several minutes ago...

Yang and Ghost were ambushed again by Dai-Shocker's Uber Ursa after the two cleaned up the Combatants. What made matters worse was that the Uber Ursa had dark Dust crystal spikes. It emitted the same malice that the evolved Kaijins had. Our heroes were bruised from the ensuing fight, yet they still held their stand against it. The enhanced Grimm was proven to be much of an adversary. Ghost attempted to break its claws with his sword, but it was too hard that it grazed the Rider's armor. Yang punched the monster several times to no avail. It won't budge no matter how many attacks they delivered.

"I never thought that... it's tougher than the ones we fought before." Yang panted.

"It's official... I hate it when they used that..." Ghost lamented.

The Condor Phone summoned itself and changed to its phone mode. It's body stuck itself to the Rider's right waist as Ghost held its handle, switching it to loudspeaker mode. Incoming transmissions came from the others in their location. The phone also emitted their pictures as a video call.

"Yeah?"

"So you guys are fighting a Uber Ursa, too. I never thougt that they could be this tough." Specter said.

"Got any ideas? I'm all ears, now." Yang asked.

"I suggest we use 'that'." Necrom suggested.

"What do you mean?" Ruby wondered.

"The flames of our strength. We possess that kind of power." Necrom explained.

"I see what you mean there. Alright, let's do it." Ghost accepted as he ended their call.

"I bet this is awesome." Yang smirked.

"Oh, it is."

Ghost took out a new Eyecon. It was red with a black pupil an iris. It also had fiery motifs on its upper horns. Its top sticker depicted Ghost's personal faceplate, but it was red and its visors had a fiery motif. On the top was a text 'B' and the bottom was 'Toucon Boost'.

As he pressed the Eycon's button, its iris lit up to reveal its sticker. The Eyecon was also engulfed in a flame that didn't burn his hand. He opened his Driver and put the fiery Eyecon inside it.

IPPATSU TOUCON! EYE!

BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA!

After he closed the Driver, flames sprouted out from the emerging Parka Ghost. It was also modeled like his original one, only that it had red accents with some flame motifs on its collars and hood, all backed up by its red sharp eyes and a uniquely-motif'd ghost tail.

The Uber Ursa quickly lunged at them, but the parka stepped in and breathed an immense fireball into its chest, pushing it away from the heroes. The Rider then pull his Driver's switch and pushed it back.

TOUCON KAIGAN! BOOST!

ORE GA BOOST! (GO!) FURUITATSU GHOST! (FIGHT!)

GO! (FIGHT!) GO! (FIGHT!) GO! (FIGHT!)

Ghost's Transient armor was soon engulfed in flames that also circled around him. The flames on his body died down and revealed the armor that had changed into a red fiery Transient armor. It had black flame patterns around his armor and a silver Ghost emblem on his chest piece. He also had silver shackles and knee pads. The parka flew down to the Rider and formed a Damashii, lifting its face to form the Rider's red fiery faceplate.

Ghost's newly-changed armor burst out the flames that were surrounding him, letting out an immense explosion that blew the monster away. He had finally donned his Toucon Boost Damashii.

Suddenly, Yang could feel her Semblance reacting to the explosion, possibly by Ghost's flame burst. She grinned knowing the fact that the Rider shared something similar to her charms with flames. Her eyes turned red and her blonde hair shone brighter than she ever knew before. She could feel her Aura being empowered by the said transformation. The brawler Huntress then clenched her fist as she punched the ground to regain her composure once more.

"It's on now." She grinned in determination.

Ghost smiled beneath his helmet as his 'pyrotherapy' worked well. Sometimes it was fun to have an area-effect perk. The Rider also clenched his fists and flamed them up. The two then dashed towards the Uber Ursa and delivered flurrious flaming punches to the Uber Ursa that started to growl in pain. They could also shield themselves from the monster better than before. Yang fired her gauntlet at it and the blasts grew stronger by the flames. Ghost also took out his glasses-styled gun/sword combo Sunglasslasher and shot the monster back. He also used its sword mode to cut down its spikes.

"I gotta say this Ghost; you look HOT!" Yang joked.

"Oh well, I'm flattered." He replied, knowing what her pun meant.

"You literally burned bright with that armor, you know." She mused.

"And that comes from someone who's a sunny little dragon herself." Ghost said back.

"Wait, how did you-?"

"Simple, your name means so."

"Oh, okay!" she grinned.

TOUCON DAI KAIGAN!

BOOST! OMEGA DRIVE!

"My burning life... shall cleanse your soul!"

As Ghost activated his finisher, Yang went head on to the Uber Ursa and sent fiery punches to its abdomen. She sent one powerful punch by focusing her flaming Aura into her right fist and damaged its body. Finally, Ghost jumped high and a red eye seal behind him powered up his boot and engulfed it in flames. He delivered a flying sidekick to the monster. However, he went intangible and entered the Uber Ursa's body. Nothing seemed to happen for awhile, until flames started to spread out from its body. The flames went bigger until the monster exploded into a black mist and revealed the Rider who was still standing.

The Huntress went close to the Rider and sighed in relief. She patted his shoulder in compliment for his abilities. Kamen Riders were sure amazing as her sister always said.

"To quote what people say; burn baby, burn." He smirked, replied by Yang's joyful giggle.

"You're warm, though. Mind if I use you as a campfire later on?" She spoke.

"Uhh... how about no?" Ghost deadpanned.

---

"Thrill me." Weiss said in wonder.

Specter complyingly nodded as he took out a new Eyecon. It was a blue-ish purple Eyecon with a sharp, sinister red beast eye. It also had horns on its top. The top sticker depicted Specter's faceplate with a few alterations; colored in purple, flame-like horns, and with an extra pair of 'fangs'. The top text was a letter 'D' and the bottom text was 'Deep Specter'.

He pressed the Eyecon's button and an audible growl was heard. Its eyelid widened momentarily and emitted a purplish flame that suddenly burnt the Uber Ursa's body, sparking out its bionic enhancements.

Weiss watched in awe as it happened. The Rider then opened his Driver an inserted the menacing Eyecon to it.

DIVE TOO DEEP! EYE!

GIROTTOMIRO! GIROTTOMIRO!

After he closed his Driver, a new Parka Ghost emerged in front of him. The dark purple parka had a pair of sharp violet eyes. It had some silver accents, flame motif'd collars, and a pair of flaming eyeball shoulder guards. It also had a unique flaming ghost tail on the parka's back.

The Rider pulled the switch and pushed it back to proceed.

GEN KAIGAN! DEEP SPECTER!

GET, GO! KAKUGO! GIZA GIZA GHOST!

The menacing parka flew around the Rider whose body was covered by a purple flame. If one looked closely, his Transient armor slowly changed into a silver body armor with his gauntlets and leg guards matched the parka's colorizations, installed with silver flame spikes. Several 'heartbeat' lines also formed in some of his armor parts, along with a red Specter eye symbol on his chest. His helmet also changed into purple while his demonic, silver skull faceplate stayed the same. Finally, the parka flew down to him and lifted its faceplate similar to its sticker. His visor momentarily lit up in sharp violet and completed his transformation as Kamen Rider Deep Specter.

Deep Specter's transformation engulfed the area around him in purple flames. He also slightly growled when he took off his hood, much to the heiress' awe and horror at the same time. Weiss suddenly witnessed her arms flaming with the same flame. She didn't feel any sensation of burning though, only the adrenaline to fight back against the Uber Ursa that stood in their way. Weiss was slightly shivering, unsure whether to be scared or amazed by it, until the Rider explained,

"Weiss, don't worry. Those flames won't harm those that I considered as an ally. It'll only give you a couple of combat boosts."

"Okay, I understand. But to be frank, your Deep Specter form kinda gave me some creeps, I think." Weiss shivered as she went close to the Rider.

"It's the nature of this armor. My apologies if this disturbs you." Deep Specter apologized.

"No, it's fine. It only makes me wonder how much stronger you guys could get." She smiled intriguingly.

"You could say mine as an abyss, deep and unreachable. I'm gonna show it to you, as you wish." He grinned as he charged towards the monster first, with the heiress followed him on the back.

Deep Specter sent a powerful blazing kick against the Uber Ursa. Its bruise also lit up in purple flames temporarily. Weiss also thrusted her blade to the monster's torso several times and sent a roundhouse kick to its face. The monster energized its claw and attempted to struck Weiss with it. She managed to dodge it, giving Deep Specter a chance to take out his weapon. It was essentially a personalized Sunglasslasher, with flaming red glasses and colored in blue, dubbed as Deep Slasher. He used it to cut down the monster's claw.

Deep Specter and Weiss also slashed the Uber Ursa's feet, disabled it from walking. It then lit up its mouth with a violent purple energy. Knowing this, Deep Specter ordered the heiress to move aside and prepared his hand on the switch after he put his weapon away.

"Please step aside, Weiss. I got this."

"Eh?"

Deep Specter moved the switch, giving out another surprise for everyone present.

GIGA GIGA MIRO!

GENKAI DAI KAIGAN! GEKIKOU SPECTER!

DEAD GO, GEKIDO, GIRI GIRI GHOST, TOUSOU, BOUSOU, IKARI NO SOUL!

Deep Specter's armor was engulfed in purple flames once again. Only this time, the flames formed a pair of claws on his arms, feet and a spiky tail. His faceplate was also covered in flames before it finally died down, revealing his faceplate being modelled into his demonic skull faceplate with the same pattern. Its visors lit up into flaming sharp violet eyes and he could literally move his jaw. Not only that, he also grew a pair of wings that looked similar to his shoulder guard. It was sure as ferocious as his armor's name suggested.

He gathered an immense purple fireball in front of his jaw. After the two conflicting sides ready, they fired their energy and flame breaths respectively. The two clashed their blasts with each other.

Weiss was also taken aback after she witnessed his rather grueling transfromation. Gekikou Specter became what in essence was a beast itself, in compliment to his armor's design. Not even Huntsmen and Huntresses ever had such thing in common, not even in Remnant's history. She became more and more intrigued by how he possessed such power. She could say the same for Kyle himself.

Gekikou Specter was proven to be more superior than the Uber Ursa. His flame blast burnt the enhanced Grimm's face. As soon as he got the chance, Gekikou Specter dashed at the monster in a blinding speed and wildly tore the monster's body apart with his claws. His tail was sharp enough to damage its cybernetics and its crystal spikes. The Grimm's movements also seemed to be more sluggish than before, which Weiss noticed.

"It's slowing down."

"Those are the flames of abyss. Once it burned a body part, it'll gain more masses that'll slow the target down, as you can see." He explained with his raspy, bestial voice.

"It's like a gravity Dust round." She noted.

"By the way, do you happen to have any of it?" Gekikou Specter asked.

"I can hold him down with it as a glyph." She replied.

"Good. Make it stronger in each seconds you got." The Rider ordered as he flew high.

The heiress casted her black gravity glyph into the Uber Ursa and stuck it to the ground beneath it, causing the ground to crack. Gekikou Specter also activated his finisher while in the air.

KYOKUGEN DAI KAIGAN!

GEKIKOU SPECTER! OMEGA DRIVE!

"I'll show you the true depths of the abyss!"

Gekikou Specter charged up a powerful purple energy sphere from his jaw. Once it was enough, he shot it at the weakened monster. The blast then became a dark flame that engulfed Weiss' glyph and the Uber Ursa. It could only shriek in pain as the empowered glyph kept pulling it down like a black hole. After a few seconds, the hellish glyph exploded and incinerated the monster along with it, leaving only a black mist in its wake.

Weiss walked closer to the explosion remains. Gekikou Specter noticed her lost in thoughts as he descended. His Gekikou mode deactivated in returned him back to Deep Specter.

"Is something wrong?" he wondered.

"I remember you said something about Kamen Riders being monsters of their own, too. I understand it, now." Weiss answered.

"Then you know why we can't hand over our tech to the world council, nor Atlas Military." Deep Specter noted. The heiress also nodded in agreement.

"Yeah, you right. On behalf of my team, We're so glad to have people like you on our side." Weiss thanked.

"Me, too. Now let's pull the plug of this."

---

"Look out!"

Necrom was bashed away after he pushed Ruby away from the incoming attack. The Uber Ursa was far more agressive than the ones from before. Its attacks caused them to dodge it before Necrom could use his said power. Ruby tried to find a way to weaken the monster somehow. First, she shot a few fire rounds to get the Grimm's attention. Then, she clashed her Scythe against its claws. The reaper Huntress also shot dozens of Dust rounds that pinned the monster down. She shot it as much as she could so that she could give him enough time to recover.

"Alan! Are you alright?" Ruby asked as she regrouped with the Rider.

"I'm fine. My Aura helped me a lot." He replied.

"Okay, you can use it now!" Ruby confirmed.

Necrom nodded as he took out his personal Eyecon. He then threw it high in the air and the Eyecon was suddenly lit up in golden flames. The Rider caught it as it reached his chest, revealing it to be transmogrified into a new Eyecon, which essentially was a redecorated Toucon Boost Eyecon. It was gold with a black iris, along with having a pair of golden flame spikes. Its top sticker depicted a golden-colored Necrom visor. on its top was a Kanji word 'Yujou', while the bottom was written 'Yujou Burst'.

Ruby's eyes gleamed in stars as he pressed the Eyecon and its iris lit up into the Eyecon's faceplate, depicting the same visor with golden flame details. The Rider then put it inside his MegaUloader and pressed its lower button directly without twisting it first. Another Parka Ghost emerged from his device. It was similar with his own personal parka, only that it had golden accents and flame spikes spreading from his shoulder tube guards. It also had unique ghost tail below its grey sharp eyes.

Necrom then pressed the lower button again to finish his transformation. This was unlike his other transformations.

YUJOU KAIGAN! BURST!

ORE GA BURST! YUJOU BURST! MITOMETE MISERU ZE! OMAE NO TSUMI O!

The Rider's armor was temporarily engulfed in golden flames that changed some parts of his armor, covering it with hardened gold that had black flame details. The changes were ranging from leg guards, thigh guards, belt, gauntlets, chestpiece, until the helmet. Its shackles and knee pads' green arcs changed into heat orange. The parka also flew down to his body and completed its transformation as Necrom Yujou Burst by lifting its fiery golden google. The google lit up upon its activation.

He took off his hood and noticed the Huntress beside him had her eyes sparkled in amazement. She was smiling brightly as she looked at the very details of his shining armor. Necrom never thought that he would ever meet, and maybe even impress a weapon enthusiast like Ruby. It was like seeing a new toy in her eyes.

"So, do you like it?" Necrom spoke.

"As always! Just how many forms do you guys actually have? Hundreds? Thousands? Please, tell me~." Ruby gleamed.

"The Ghostverse Rider system is among the uniquely-known Rider systems. We can share our Damashiis with one another." He explained.

"Cool!" she replied.

"This is an extension of my system. A symbolization of the very friendship that we share each other. Mine has reached its apex to represent its power." He explained further, much to her excitment.

"Now get ready. It seems that your bind to it started to wear off."

Necrom and Ruby focused back on the Uber Ursa that was finally freed from the gravity bind. The latter took out his Gan Gun Catcher and bashed it at the clawing Grimm. Ruby's Crescent Rose grazed its hide, but its cybernetics prevented her from further damaging the Uber Ursa. The Rider had an idea of how to solve the particular problem. He took out his Yujou Burst Eyecon and inserted it to his weapon's Eyecon slot.

DAI KAIGAN!

Its standby noise played before he pulled the trigger.

OMEGA CRASH!

He retracted its Crush Fingers and tapped it to the monster's chest, causing a golden flame to errupt from it. Necrom quickly changed the Gan Gun Catcher to gun mode and pulled the trigger again.

OMEGA FINISH!

The weapon shot a small burnirng sphere that exploded upon contact and enlarged its golden flames. The Uber Ursa was entirely burnt from the outside in. As it continued, Ruby suddenly felt an energy surging through her body in the form of golden light. She also witnessed Necrom underwent the same circumstance.

"Hey Alan, what's this?" she wondered.

"The golden flames from my Eyecon sucked the Grimm's stamina and converted it to ours. It also recovered our Auras in the process." He explained.

"It's like that stamina drink that people had, these days! It's... it's umm..."

"Isotonics. Yeah, if you put it that way. Hence why it's called the 'flames of friendship'." Necrom corrected.

"I see. Well, we better end this quick. Can't keep the others hog all the glory themselves, huh?"

"With pleasure, Ruby."

Necrom put his weapon away as he put his Eyecon back to the MegaUloader. He twisted it and pressed its button to activate his finisher.

YUJOU DAI KAIGAN!

BURST! OMEGA DRIVE!

"Friendship... is gold!"

Both Necrom and Ruby's Auras were bursting in gold. They delivered a powerful blow to the Grimm. Ruby slashed its body with her hit and run tactic relentlessly to the point that she made every wounds on it bigger. She also damaged its cybernetics. The reaper then shot the Uber Ursa's back using her sniper rifle mode, added with a fire Dust round.

Next, Necrom engulfed the Grimm in the golden flames, gestured by his hand movements. He dashed towards it and delivered rapid burning punches to its torso. The Rider then jumped back high and a golden eye seal appeared behind him. The seal empowered his right boot and finally, he he Rider-kicked the monster. After he landed, the flames surrounding the Uber Ursa formed the same pattern with Necrom's fiery google and exploded along with it.

The two sighed in relief after the battle ended. With that being said, they were able to further progress their mission. Necrom shut the machine down and programmed it to release the red mist substance it was holding. The substance was held inside a big glass tube.

"Ruby, if you please?"

The Huntress nodded and took the substance out. She used the Crescent Rose's shotgun mode to destroy it. After she shot it, the substance floated up temporarily until it completely vanished.

"Huh, I never thought it would be that easy." She shrugged.

"The substance needs to be converted by the machine first in order to generate the red mist. Without the tube to hold it, it'll disappear for good." Necrom explained as he typed on the computer nearby the machine.

"Say, are the infected citizens going to be okay?" She worried.

"The red mist only attacks human body's immunity system. As long as they weren't exposed to it much longer, I'm sure they will." Necrom said.

"How can you be so sure? I mean, we heard you saying about that Ganma world before, but we never know what the infection is like." She doubted.

"I used to had the same thing too once I denounced my allegiance to the world's kingdom, which is my birthplace. Back then, I used to serve the enemy that we fought in the Ghostverse. Our goal was to create a perfect world where no one dies. I agreed to join the cause, until I was betrayed for being a liability to my brother, who ruled over it after he killed our father." he explained grimly once he finished the reprogramming and awaited its completion sequence.

"I see..." she grimaced while she lost her words.

"The reason why we could survive in the toxic atmosphere in the Ganma world was because we preserved our real bodies inside white coffins, while our souls were being transferred into artificial bodies generated by the Ganma Eyecons we made. However, the perserved bodies vanished due to the prolonged use of the artificial bodies. It was kept secret by the higher-ups, back then, even from me. since then, I had finally realized that my belief of a perfect world was a mere delusion."

"That's why I joined Takeru, Makoto, and later the Rider League to fight against them and those alike. They helped me atone for my past sins and turned a blind eye on it. They've enlightened me about the true meaning of being a Kamen Rider, and made me the man I am today."

Ruby was still taken aback by the Rider's statement. She had never met someone as complicated as Necrom before. He used to be a ruthless warrior who wouldn't hesitate to eliminate those who stood in his way and yet, he received a second chance to redeem himself as a true Kamen Rider. She could never imagine how conflicted he was, back then. For one to switch sides was a truly big step for themselves, regardless if it was for good, or evil. Nevertheless, she still had much things to learn for herself.

"You're a good guy, Alan. I just know it is." She spoke.

"Thank you, Ruby." He smiled under his helmet.

After the reprogramming was finished, they installed the cure to the machine and waited for its activation. Necrom then activated the MegaUloader's comms function, displaying holograms of video feeds from the others.

"How's it going?" Necrom asked.

"All set and done. We're just waiting on its activation, now." Ghost reported.

"Just a couple of minutes and the cure goes out with a bang, right?" Ruby asked.

"I think what you mean is going out with a YANG! Huh? Huh?" Yang joked.

"Yang, please..." Weiss groaned.

"Okay Sis, we get it!" Ruby groaned, too.

"To be honest, this is the most lively mission I've ever had." Deep Specter lamented.

"Whoa, wait a sec! You guys changed armors, too!" Ruby gleamed over the newly-changed Ghost and Deep Specter.

"Now that you say it..." Weiss said.

"Oh right! You see, mine's called Toucon Boost and his is Deep Specter." Ghost explained.

"We heard that you're a weapons enthusiast too, Ruby. Might as well take a look at our armor schematics, later." Deep Specter offered.

"Really!?"

"Oh, you mean that. Hehe, hope you like it." Alan chuckled.

"Why do I have a strange feeling about this?" Weiss wondered.

"Let's check on Kyle and Blake, too. I guess they're already done with theirs." Yang suggested.

"Umm... is it just me, or is that dust moving by itself?"

Ruby pointed at the direction of it. just exactly as she said, the dust from the Uber Ursa's remains didn't just flow. It moved down from the building as if it was being ordered.

"Oh yeah, we're seeing it too!" Yang said.

"Same here." Weiss said.

"Let's head to where those dusts go. I got a pretty good idea on what's this gonna be." Ghost said, ending their transmission.

---

Present...

The dark Dust crystal that Xiphon held up high gathered the black dusts from various sources. Once it was enough, the crystal lifted itself high into the air and let out a massive dark pulse in the sky. It then revealed a massive figure that soon uncovered itself from the red mist.

"The hell...?"

"The red mist will continue to spread, even if you stopped those machines. In the meantime, toodle-doo."

Xiphon teleported himself away from the area. D-Ghost couldn't do anything but watching his enemy leave. His eyes were fixated at the descending figure from the bloody skies.

The figure was the evolved Pirate Kaijin. It was evident due to his body being a monstrous ship. It had a pair of sharp red eyes and a massive jaw on the ship's hull. Its front tip was installed with a metallic bird ornament grabbing Remnant's globe with its claws, clearly a depiction of Dai-Shocker's emblem. It had dozens of canons protruding from its side decks and some tattered sails on its top. What made matters worse was that its rear deck was equipped with giant chimneys that started spreading the red mist. Just as Xiphon said, things would get tougher from here on out.

"Dammit, Xiphon..." he cursed.

"This again?" Blake huffed after she rendezvoused with the Rider.

"Say, how much do you know about pirates?" D-Ghost turned to her.

"Sailing ships across the seas and looking for a treasure. Is that it?" Blake guessed.

"Other than that?"

"Umm... arrr?"

"Cute..." he muttered as he quickly turned his head away.

"What was it again?"

"Nothing."

Blake narrowed her eyes in suspicion. However, her focus was more drawn to the evolved Kaijin above them. It menacingly sailed in the air as it kept spreading the red mist. The other heroes finally joined the two, as well.

"Nice garb, by the way." Ghost complimented to D-Ghost, who acquired his power.

"I like it!" Ruby followed.

"Thanks."

"Looks like we're still far away from done, here." Weiss said.

"How are the machines?" Blake wondered.

"We took care of it. The cure will be launched in 4 minutes, assuming the Dai-Shocker didn't hear anything about that other plan." Necrom reported.

"We got Tsukasa, Yusuke, and Natsumi to watch over them while we're here." Yang said.

"Then let's get going. We're not gonna sit here watching that 'Pirate's Cove' TV show." Deep Specter reminded.

"Right."

Everyone agreed as they prepared their gears. Deep Specter and Necrom took out their new Eyecons. The former's Eyecon was dark blue with a blue iris. Its top sticker depicted crossing chains forming an 'X' letter with a lock in the middle of it. On its top was a number '13' and was labelled 'Houdini' at the bottom. Meanwhile, the latter's Eyecon was white with a green iris. Its top sticker depicted Necrom's golden visor with sun-like round fiery details on its margin. Its number was '15' and labelled as 'Sanzou'. The two pressed their Eyecons' buttons and they displayed the numbers with their irises.

"Hey Kyle, let's use Captain Ghost." Ghost suggested, leaving his junior puzzled.

"Eh?"

"It's my flying Galleon. In my book, It takes a ship to destroy another ship. That's why we need another ship to take on a bigger ship like that." Ghost explained as D-Ghost searched through his helmet until he found its schematics. It was a ship indeed, but a very odd-looking one.

"Oh, alright." He complied. He needed to summon it to believe in his eyes. He took out its Attack Ride card and inserted it, while Ghost performed an eye seal.

ATTACK RIDE : CAPTAIN GHOST!

The two summoned their similar-looking ship. Their sizes were rather smaller than the Kaijin ship was. They had a green cannon on their front tips and red-lighted cracked hulls that shaped like monster faces. They had a pair of reptile arms and their rear decks looked like reptile feet. Their sails were also tattered. Regardless of their sizes, they could still carry people on top of them.

"Whoa-ho-ho! ships ahoy!" D-Ghost chuckled.

"They're just like in the comic books! Oh, I'm so digging into this!" Ruby gleamed.

"Why does it always have to be from the comic books, anyway?" Weiss retorted.

Deep Specter and Necrom pressed the buttons to activate their Eyecons and inserted it to their devices.

EYE!

BATCHIRIMIRO! BATCHIRIMIRO!

As their standby noises played, their respective Parka Ghosts appeared. From Necrom's MegaUloader, Sanzou's parka made its entrance. It was a white parka with gold accents, forming some kind of a chinese robe. It had a white crown headpiece on its hood and around its torso were three animal head ornaments; a red monkey head and a golden pig head as its shoulder guards, along with a green crane head that held a golden sun chakram ring on its back.

However, Houdini's Parka Ghost caught team RWBY and D-Ghost in surprise. It was actually Deep Specter's Machine Hoodie that was summoned from his blue eye portal, splitting itself to reveal its blue parka form with the bike parts as its gyro glider. The Parka Ghost had the bike's headlight as its headpiece and its side chasis as its shoulder guards. Its torso was adorned with several chain ornaments that were also present on the glider's inner compartment.

"Whoa, his bike IS the Damashii?" Yang surprised.

"Okay, that's new." Blake agaped.

"To be honest, I kinda wished my bike could do something like that." Yang lamented.

"Yeah, right." Blake said.

The two Ghostverse Riders commanded their parkas to complete their transformations. Their worn Damashiis disappeared, while their upgraded Transients remained.

KAIGAN! HOUDINI! / TENGAN! SANZOU! MEGAULOAD!

MAJI IJAN! SUGE MAGICIAN! / SAIYU ROAD!

Their respective parkas descended to their armors, completing their transformation. Deep Specter had possessed the power of the legendary escapist, Harry Houdini, while Necrom had the power of a chinese monk named Sanzou, who led the journey through the west along with his disciples. Added with the combat boosts from Deep Specter and Yujou Burst, there was no doubt that their powers increased significantly.

"Communication is one of the most important strategies in combat. Use these." Necrom said as he handed the girls a small earpiece for each of them.

"We'll take care of the cannons while you guys destroy the chimneys. Our speeds are fast enough to avoid its blasts." Deep Specter said.

"Each ship should be enough for three people to get on, including the two of us, Kyle. Weiss, Blake, on me." Ghost commanded.

"That means I'm with Rubes and Yang. Alright everyone, all aboard the ships!" D-Ghost ordered.

After they went on board with themselves, the Kaijin ship suddenly charged a blue energy sphere on its mouth. They were wondering on what it could do until Ghost realized what it was.

"Look out!"

Luckily, their ships were activated and managed to dodge an energy blast targetted on them. The blast left a large crater on the ground, much to the heroes' horror.

"That was close..." Ruby sighed in relief.

"That blast could destroy city blocks at anytime!" D-Ghost said.

"We'll take care of it!" Weiss offered with her team.

"And I think I know just the trick!" Ghost assured.

Everyone nodded in agreement to their strategies.

---

Back at the hospital, team JNPR and the Ex-Aidverse Riders had eradicated most of the Grimm horde after Decade, Kuuga, and Kiva-la went off. However, the Grimms' attacks had become more agressive due to the evolved Kaijin's influence.

"They just keep coming!" Pyrrha shouted as she used her polarization Semblance on her shield to control its direction towards the Grimms. She managed to behead some of them.

"Yeah! No kidding!" Nora replied after she bashed an Ursa away.

Even the Huntsmen team was almost at their limits. Their exhaustion prevented them from using their Semblances further. Noticing this, Ex-Aid and Brave decided to level up.

"You guys should take a rest. It's our turn now." Ex-Aid ordered.

"We'll handle things from here." Brave assured.

"You heard 'em! We'll take 'em all down in one swoop!" Poppy claimed.

"Okay... we're not planning on dying here, anyway." Jaune said.

"Roger that." Ren complied.

With that being done, the three Ex-Aidverse Riders lined up and activated their finishers. Ex-Aid and Brave inserted their Gashats to their weapons, while Poppy pressed both of her Driver's buttons and used its chainsaw mode. They also prepared their energy items beforehand.

SPEEDING-UP!

KIMEWAZA!

MIGHTY / TADDLE

CRITICAL FINISH! / CRITICAL SACRIFICE!

The three charged at the Grimms and started attacking them wildly; Ex-Aid sliced them through with his energy slash, Brave burned them down with his flame sword, and Poppy butchered them with her musical tornado slash technique. Their attacks were proven effective for slaughtering the Grimms in a large quantity. They then jumped high to deliver one last blow.

Ex-Aid and Brave inserted their Gashats to the Kimewaza Slots and Poppy put her Bugvisor back to her buckle and pressed its buttons.

KIMEWAZA!

MIGHTY / TADDLE

CRITICAL STRIKE! / CRITICAL CREWS-AID!

They delivered a Triple Rider Kick to the horde and completely obliterated them. Team JNPR also sighed in relief, knowing that the crisis was finally over. The walked towards the Riders who were detransforming.

GASHUN!

However, one thing left the team in wonder.

"Umm... Miss Karino, did you just-?"

Ren wondered at Asuna's sudden wardrobe change. She had a pink hair with a hat-like headband. Her outfit was a dress with a unique musical motif. She was also seen wearing a pair of lime fingerless gloves, lime and pink stockings and lime boots.

"Oh, right! Hi there! My name is... Poppy Pipopapo!" she introduced as her name was digitally displayed itself as a hologram with a unique colorful font, mostly in a musical element.

Several musical notes also appeared on her sides. Her gaudy introduction left the Huntsmen team in astonishment and confussion at the same time.

"Beep... boop?" Jaune wondered.

"Oh, boop! It's boop!" Nora exclaimed.

"It's... not actually like that." Poppy deadpanned.

"Don't worry, she's always like this." Ren said.

"By the way, a nurse and an idol singer... it's kinda stretchy, don't you think?" Pyrrha commented.

"Well, I am stretchy. I mean, don't you guys see how acrobatic I was, back then?" Poppy answered.

"Oh, the puns..." Emu flattered as Hiiro shook his head in sigh.

"You see; first, being a nurse is my side job. My real duty is being a guide for the Riders! And being a Kamen Rider too, as you can see. And second, I'm not actually a human." Poppy explained as she teleported behind the team.

"I'm a Bugster! And this isn't even my Semblance!"

"You guys could say that she's a living game character." Emu said.

"I see... no wonder why your armors are all videogame patterned." Pyrrha said.

"There are still more of us, in case you're wondering." Hiiro said.

"Well, let's hope the others could hold their ends. Wonder why the red mist looked thicker than before." Jaune hoped as he looked at the red mist that was halfway towards the hospital.

Deep Specter switched his glider to platform mode and took out his Deep Slasher gun. The glider also took out its chains that constricted his legs. They're also filled with blue energy that went to his gun, empowering his blasts. He damaged the cannons while swiftly dodging their blasts.

"Incoming projectiles from two o'clock. At least damaging ten cannons would slow it down." Houdini informed.

"Got it." Deep Specter complied.

Necrom used his chakram to enhance his weapon's blasts. Each blast lasted five seconds, enough to destroy a few rows of the cannons. He flew from one cannon to another and successfully damaged them, although there were some that were still operational.

"Necrom, it seems that destroying them like this would be a waste of time. I suggest we strike them close." Sanzou suggested.

"But it'll be too dangerous." Necrom doubted.

"I can shield you with the help of my disciples in case those cannons opened fire. We should let Specter and Houdini know of this." Sanzou assured.

"Understood." He complied as he flew away and turned his comms on.

"Specter, we need to destroy those cannons with our close-range weapons. It'll save us some time." Necrom said.

"I see what you're getting at. Alright, let's do this."

The two Riders then activated their respective finishers.

DAI KAIGAN! / DAI TENGAN!

HOUDINI! OMEGA DRIVE! / SANZOU! OMEGAULOAD!

Deep Specter dual-wielded himself by summoning his Gan Gun Hand. He jumped down as his glider stuck to his back and flew to the cannons in a high speed. The Rider disappeared into confettis after reaching enough speed and appeared in front of the active cannons, striking them with his energized weapons and glider chains. He teleported so fast that the cannons couldn't track his movements.

Meanwhile, Necrom grabbed the chakram with his Gan Gun Catcher as it lit up in gold energy. He sped up with his Machine Clouder and started slashing a row of cannons. His head ornaments also shielded him from any incoming blasts. He went from one row to another until the two Riders sucessfully blew them up.

---

Ghost, Weiss, and Blake made their way to the Kaijin ship's monstrous hull. They had to avoid a barrage of blasts that it shot. Even if Captain Ghost was fully shielded, it wouldn't last much longer after the hits that the ship received. This made Weiss casted dozens of her Glyphs to enhance their defences.

"We can't keep it like this, you know!" She exclaimed.

"We need to get closer to the hull. That way we could stop its blasts." Blake said.

"Looks like it." Ghost accepted.

"Are you crazy!? It'll make us an easy target!" Weiss objected.

"I know just the right guy to place this bet. Can you hold on a little longer with that?" Ghost said to Weiss.

She sighed, "Well, this better worth the struggle."

As the Heiress cotinued reinforcing the ship's shieldings, Ghost took out another Eyecon. The Eyecon was blue with a black iris. Its top sticker depicted an eastern dragon head that formed a visor. The Eyecon's number was '09' and it was labelled as 'Ryoma'.

The Rider then pressed the Eyecon's button and inserted it into his Driver.

EYE!

BACTHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA!

Flames sprout from his Driver as the Parka Ghost emerged. It looked like a blue and white japanese feodal outfit that was assigned for early shogunate officials. Its black shoulder guard resembled ship hulls and it had a pair of dragon horn ornaments on its hood. It also had the same ghost tail like the Toucon Boost below its sharp blue eyes.

KAIGAN! RYOMA!

MEZAMEYO! NIPPON! YOAKE ZE YO!

The Eyecon descended towards the Rider who was already on his Boost Transient. He had completed his transformation. Ghost was enhanced by the spirit of Ryoma Sengoku, a japanese revolutionist who rebelled against the country's archaic feodal government.

"Setting sail in the skies again, Takeru? I'm impressed." The spirit spoke.

"Ryoma, we're betting on this one shot. We're counting on you." Ghost said.

"Leave it to me! I'll give the shot a heat it deserves!" Ryoma complied as the Rider activated his finisher.

DAI KAIGAN!

RYOMA! OMEGA DRIVE!

The Captain Ghost sped up towards the charging energy sphere in the Kaijin ship's hull. Its front cannon also powered itself with Ryoma's spirit energy, following Ghost's Sunglasslasher gun. Just as a powerful shot was fired in front of them, Ghost fired his weapon at the blast. The two blasts clashed until Captain Ghost's cannon fired, reinforcing Ghost's finisher and pushed the evolved Kaijin's blast back to the hull, destroying it and rendering the hull cannon useless.

"Whew... that was close." Ghost sighed in relief.

"By the way Takeru, I heard you're talking with someone. Is it this Ryoma guy?" Blake asked.

"Oh yeah, it is. Some of our Damashiis are based on the historical figures from our world, as you both already knew. On top of that, they could also talk inside our armors too, like an AI This is one of their special treats." Ghost explained.

"That way, we can continue guiding the young'uns like you towards the path of justice. Oh, and hello by the way." Ryoma greeted. His voice was heard after Ghost switched his guide to loudspeaker. His faceplate blinked as the spirit talked.

"Whoa... he really talked..." Weiss agaped.

"So, that means the others could do it in Kyle's too, then." Blake deducted.

"That's right. We're eager to bring you to our fold. We can tell our stories and might as well learn something from it. Ahh... sometimes its good to be old. In some way, I mean." Ryoma mused.

"Well... okay, that's great." Blake stutteringly agreed.

"Is something wrong, Blake?" Ghost wondered.

"It's just that some of us had a bad history of listening to long tales. Especially as a school subject." Blake explained.

"I don't." Weiss said, referring to her obvious diligence for school subjects.

"I can see that. Port never gets bored on his glorious tales." Ghost mused.

"I think young'uns these days need to differ between history and bedtime stories. Perhaps, it's the answer to your problem." Ryoma said.

"Alright, I'll keep that in mind." Blake complied.

"Assuming that our team leader thinks the same." Weiss said.

---

With the help from the others, the Kaijin ship's defense were drawn to them. D-Ghost, Ruby, and Yang had finally made their way towards the red mist generator on the ship's back. The mists it exhausted covered the chimney itself, although it didn't fully limited the heroes' field of vision. The three prepared their weapons and D-Ghost took out his Attack Ride card.

ATTACK RIDE : CROSSATTACK!

"Alright, guys. Here goes!" D-Ghost shouted.

They fired their empowered weapons at the chimney. The Captain Ghost also fired is cannon. However, the Kaijin ship released something from its back. It was a pack of bat drones that swarmed the Captain Ghost. The three heroes were having a hard time aiming at the chimney. The bat drones limited their field of vision, prompting the three to finish them off first before they can proceed.

"There's too much of them!" Ruby said.

"They're blocking our blasts to the chimney. We can't hit it like this!" Yang growled.

"Not even Captain Ghost's cannon could hit it once." D-Ghost noted.

"But I can make it bigger." Said someone with a rather unusual accent.

"Huh? Who am I talking to, now?"

"It's your good ol' Billy! Billy the Kid, as the townsfolk said." He introduced.

"Billy the Kid? That Billy? Wow, so you're among the Eyecon spirits, too!" D-Ghost exclaimed.

"Save the flatteries for later time, lad. Listen, I can give dozens of laser therapy to those freaks there. Use me, and you'll know why." Billy said as a Form Ride card was flung out from the Ride Booker.

"Alrighty, then."

"Who's that, Kyle?" Ruby wondered.

"My gut." He answered flatly.

"Very funny." Yang said

"Yeah. Very funny, Kyle Morgan." Billy said.

The Form Ride card he held depicted Ghost's other Damashii, Billy the Kid. Its parka was leather brown with long sleeves and a cowboy hat on its hood. Its visor depicted a firing revolver gun in the front view, with the spark forming its visors. A cow hide covered its upper torso. It also had bullet holsters on its torso and upper arms.

He then inserted it to his Driver.

FORM RIDE : GHOST BILLY THE KID!

Billy rose out from the Decadriver as his own parka. He spun in the air and shot the bat drones with rapid energy blasts from his sleeves. He whooped in excitement before he descended to the Rider who had his inner armor ready. His faceplate lifted itself and lit up upon activation. He now possessed the power of Billy the Kid, a legendary gunslinger of the old wild west.

"Let's giddy 'em up." He said as he fixed his hat.

"Right back at 'ya." Billy chuckled in amusement.

After the ransformation was complete, a Ghost Gadget materialized above them and screeched loudly, screwing up the bat drones' movements. The gadget was a mixture of a brown bat with an old-fashioned clock, complete with its numbers and needles. Unfortunately, the schreech also affected the girls who covered their ears. All except for D-Ghost who seemed unfazed, much to the girls' confussion.

"No fair! How come your ears not burned?" Yang huffed.

"Warn us about it next time..." Ruby stuttered.

"Huh? Oh, sorry!" He apologized upon realizing that the Bat Clock was actually emitting an ultrasonic wave which disoriented their hearrings.

"Kid, go lift your left arm." Billy ordered.

"Like this?"

The Bat Clock folded its wings and became its clock mode. It suddenly went to D-Ghost left sleeve, which made it looked like it disappeared in a blink of an eye. This was quite a surprise, even for the Rider himself.

"Now, I'll show you the thing."

Under Billy's command, D-Ghost instinctly retracted his arms. On both of his hands were the Gan Gun Saber on his right and the Bat Clock gun on his left. The two weapons spun by the magnetic force from his gloves. He then caught them in their positions and aimed at the bat drones in a crossing manner. He grinned under his helmet in flattery.

"Heh, neat."

"Whoa, now that's a cowboy!" Ruby commented.

"He really nailed it." Yang grinned.

D-Ghost shot a barrage of lasers at the drones. He did it in quick succession that it destroyed a majority of them. No matter where or how the drones moved, his blasts always hit them. It seemed that Billy the Kid Damashii had truly lived up its moniker.

The bat drones became aggressive as they gather up and charged at the three. They managed to dodge it, but it won't be long before the drones attacked again. Knowing this, Billy instructed something to D-Ghost.

"Kyle, try to combine the Bat Clock with your gun. It'll give 'em a helluva shot!"

"Got it."

He combined his weapon with the Bat Clock on the front. Its muzzle lengthened a bit and the Saber gun's blade margins lit up in orange. As the bat drone swarmed towards the group again, D-Ghost stood firmly in front of them. He aimed his rifle and fired at them. The shotgun blast was powerful enough to penetrate their defenses, along with a large quantity of bat drones. This rendered them unable to defend the mist chimney, allowing him to charge up another finisher.

DAI KAIGAN!

BILLY THE KID! OMEGA DRIVE!

The charge consisted of a brown eye seal appeared behind him and a clock projection in front of the rifle. The clock spun quickly as the seal surged through the rifle. Following the command, Captain Ghost's cannon also charged up, as well. After it was strong enough, he fired the reinforced beam blast that went through the mist all the way to the chimney. An explosion occured after the impact. The red mist disappeared and revealed the damaged chimney. Thus, the heroes had finally stopped the red mist production.

"Whohoo! We did it!" Ruby joyed.

"Thank the team." D-Ghost mused.

"Hey, you're not serious about talking to your gut back then, do you?" Yang deducted.

"Well..."

"Howdy, lasses!" Billy greeted as D-Ghost's faceplate blinked.

"Here he is."

"Whoa! Who else's inside that helemet?" Yang wondered.

"Is it really a ghost?" Ruby wondered.

"The name's Billy the Kid. And yes, I'm one of the spirits of the Ghostverse." He introduced.

"Cool! A talking armor!" Ruby exclaimed.

"So... that means the others could do it, too." D-Ghost noted.

"Yup! I'm one of the 15 Heroic Eyecons who emerged first in the Ghostverse. Each of us possess a special power that'll give any Dai-Shocker Kaijin quite a spark when us fifteen together. Plus, there are actually a hundred of us spirits there." Billy explained.

"A hundred!? Y-you're not joking right?" Yang staggered.

"No, I'm not. That's why you can say that Ghostverse's Rider system is known for its vast varieties of equipments. Hence, us spirits also came from various islands and countries like humans did. In other words, it's the beauty of diversity." Billy hummed.

"Hate to break it from you guys, but that ship doesn't looked like it's gonna come down in any second." D-Ghost interrupted.

"Oh yeah! Well, we broke it's defense, right?" Ruby said.

"The ship's 'heart' still intact. There's no other choice but to board there and find it." Billy analyzed.

"I see. Alright, let's patch up on the Tsukasa's team and check on the machines." Yang suggested.

---

Decade I's comms detected an incoming communication. He was seen securing the perimeters on the middle machine.

"Hey, Tsukasa. How are the machines?" Yang asked.

"Just a couple of minutes and they'll set the cures off to the air. I take it you guys stopped the red mist from further spreading, already." Decade I said.

"Yeah. We're moving in to stop the evolved Kaijin. That should be the last of him." D-Ghost reported.

"Good job. I'll leave it to you guys there."

After the transmission ended, he went to look around the area again. He looked back and reminisced his earlier times. He had came a long way from being an amnesiac former Dai-Shocker leader to a more refined and wise Kamen Rider. Both Yusuka and Natsumi had helped him a lot in showing the true path of light, along with the help from the veterans and his successors. What's more was that he had ventured this very world of Remnant. He set foot in a land where the Riders' existence was truly needed in a world that lacked one. He was also glad to meet the Huntsmen who shared the same goal as theirs.

Which is why, he decided to make a call to one of his old acquintance in this world. The one who assigned himself as Beacon's headmaster.

"Hey, Oz."

"Ah, Tsukasa. It's been a long time indeed, even after you made a guest in the school's dorm." Ozpin greeted.

"I'll say it again, you did a great job bringing those guys in." Decade I said.

"I assume it must be in regards on the whole commotion in the city. Is everyone alright?" Ozpin wondered.

"Yeah, but the citizens are affected by the red mist. It'll be just a couple of minutes until the cure is released." Decade I reported.

"I see. For once, I thought that the Dai-Shocker crisis we once fought together was over." Ozpin lamented.

"Me, too. I heard from my intel that they had been working on Grimms. Heck, they even started producing Kaijins using their essence as soulless beings."

"To think that they managed to counter our advantages of having an Aura. I didn't forget you saying that they have another power source beyond our thoughts. They' weren't even from this world like the Riders are, to begin with."

"You know Oz, I started to have some feelings that this isn't just some random act of terror. Someone might be pulling the strings on this, and we have yet to know who it is. Most of all, we can't jump to any conclusions, yet."

"Then the only thing left for us to do is to hope for the best."

"Agreed."

---

The group made their landing towards the Kaijin ship's deck. There was only silent around the area. However, an ominous aura was still emanating from the still functioning ship.

"Alright, let's find this core and end this once and for all." D-Ghost said.

"I'm afraid that's not how it works, new Decade."

A glooming voice was heard from nowhere, until a familiar figure appeared in front of them. It was the same Pirate Kaijin, only that he adorned various golds and diamonds on his garment. Even his jewelled crown was made of gold. A sight of a glorious pirate indeed, but not without numerous Combatants spawned in front of the group. The Combatants chanted the same "EEEE!" as usual.

"I am the core of this ship. I dare you all to come here and challenge my authority as the captain of this ship!" the Kaijin declared.

"A direct challenge, eh? So be it." Deep Specter cracked his fists.

"Say, how 'bout we call some dibs on this one?" Yang said.

"I agree. I could use more field tests on my new armor." D-Ghost mused.

"Count me in." Blake grinned.

"Looks like this worth some arse-bashing." Necrom mused.

"This ought to be good." Weiss said.

"Oh, it is." Ghost replied.

"Alright, team! Let' give 'em the beating of the century!" Ruby exclaimed.

Wind blew around the ship's deck. The conflicting sides had their sights on each other. Until the Kaijin barked.

"Combatants, attack!"

"Hoo-ah!" D-Ghost roared.

The fight had begun. Ruby swiftly swung her Crescent Rose and shot them with Dust Rounds. Blake swung her Gambol Shroud with its Ribbon, allowing her to reach enemies from afar. Both D-Ghost and Ghost did numerous gun-fu combos. The former shot the Combatants and did it at point blank range a few times, usually right to their heads or chests. Ghost swiftly switched from gun to sword mode and back in dealing with the horde, all giving them fiery ends.

Weiss casted Ice glyphs that either froze them or slipped them to the floor. She stabbed the unlucky ones as they turned to dusts. Necrom threw his chakram and used his Gan Gun Catcher to attack the hostiles as his other weapon flew around. Once his chakram returned, h caught it with his weapon and threw it again with full force, causing more damage. Yang punched and blasted them with Deep Specter backing her up. She also managed to kick a Combatant away with Specter shooting it with Deep Slasher gun after he teleported. The latter's movements were hard to track due to his numerous teleportation.

An opportunity appeared after the others cleared the way towards the Pirate Kaijin. D-Ghost, Yang, and Ghost were ones who took him on. Seeing what kind of weapon the heroes were using, the Pirate Kaijin decided to take his own pistols out. They fired countless shots without any signs of holding back. Sometimes Yang found it annoying that her hits tend to miss or be blocked wit the Kaijin's own blasts. She went up close to him, but her attacks were easily blocked or swept away. She and D-Ghost backed away for a while.

"Yang." D-Ghost called her and showed the brawler his Attack Ride card. Knowing what it was, Yang nodded and readied her Ember Celica again.

ATTACK RIDE : CROSSATTACK!

Both D-Ghost and Yang's weapons lit up in bright orange energy. The two charged at the Kaijin afetr Ghost backed away to give them the chance. The two threw barrages of relentless blasts at him. It almost threw off the Kaijin's defense, but he quickly regained his composure and countered every blasts. Resorting to a more powerful blast, D-Ghost used the Gan Gun Rifle while Yang charged her Semblance up. They both then fired their blasts and made the Kaijin skid back. However, when he opened his eyes, he already saw Ghost in front of him who had his Sunglasslasher charged up.

MEGA MABUSHII! MEGA MABUSHII!

TOUCON DAI KAIGAN!

MEGA OMEGA FLASH!

The Sunglasslasher was loaded with his Ore and Toucon Boost Eyecons. He shot the powerful blast that took the form of a flaming dragon. It seemingly devoured the Kaijin in a flaming sphere and exploded. However, the Pirate Kaijin still survived the attack and made his stand. Enraged, he engaged the heroes wildly. He took out his golden sword and charged it with a large amount of dark energy. He swept his enemies away with it, causing a strong gush of wind.

The three tried to retaliate by throwing him with everything they got. Ghost quickly switched his weapon to sword and slashed it to the hostile, only to be countered by the latter's sword. Yang threw more fiery punches, but she was struck away by the Kaijin's dark energy blast. As Yang was about to be shot again, D-Ghost stepped in and shot his Gan Gun Rifle to counter the blast. After he succeeded, he shot the Kaijin again to no avail due to him bashing it away with his sword. The young Rider tried to bash the monster with his gun in close range. However, he dodged it and kicked D-Ghost to his gut.

"He's too damn strong!" Yang growled in frustration.

"Then we need to switch to our greater power. Billy, you can back away from this one, for now." D-Ghost said to the spirit as he took out Ghost's Final Form Ride card.

"Alright, kid. You 'da boss, here." Billy complied.

"Takeru, the power of three should be enough to level his power. I suggest you to resort to that." Ryoma suggested.

"I got it. It takes three Shoguns to take down an OP pirate." Ghost nodded as he took out the said Eyecon. It was goldish orange with a black iris. Its top sticker depicted golden lines that formed a pair of visors and a mouthpiece. It also had golden moustache-like lines. It had a kanji alphabet that was written "Tenka" and its latin was displayed below the symbol.

"What's an OP?" Yang wondered.

"Overpowered, that is. It's a videogame lingo." Ghost answered.

D-Ghost and Ghost prepped their respective trinkets to their Drivers.

FINAL FORM RIDE : / EYE!

BATCHIRIMINA! BATCHIRIMINA!

Both of the Riders' parkas disappeared as Ghost's phantom appeared in front of Decade and a new Parka Ghost emerged from the Ghost Driver. The Ghost phantom dislocated its body parts and formed into a giant phantom Ore Eyecon. Unlike the original one, it had an orange sclera and it displayed Ghost's personal faceplate instead. Meanwhile, the new golden Parka Ghost took a form of a long trenchcoat with short sleeves. It had a silver hood with golden bird-like ornaments and a pair of silver pointy shoulder guards. A pair of silver wings were also seen stuck on its back.

The two then activated their command to change forms.

GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST! / KAIGAN! NOBUNAGA, HIDEYOSHI, IEYASU!

GO! GO! GO! GO! / HATASU NO WA ITSU! TENKATOUITSU!

The phantom Ore Ghost Eyecon launched a Parka Ghost that hit the Pirate Kaijin hard. The parka looked a bit similar to the Ore Parka Ghost, only that it had a longer undercoat, sturdy armor platings and shoulder guards, several orange bone-like markings and a pair of sharp green eyes.

Both parkas struck the Kaijin a few times until they descended upon their respective users, lifting their faceplates and lit up upon acivation.

Decade's FFR parka was a unique one. It modified the Rider's helmet to a similar one like Ghost's blank transient helmet. Its faceplate was also similar to Ghost's, only that it was all black that left its visors colored in bright green. The helmet's horn was a slighly inverted Decade's middle horn. His torso armor was discarded and its inner armor was covered by the FFR Damashii. Some of his original armor parts were also still intact.

As for Ghost, his Damashii was dubbed as Tenkatouitsu, which bore the powers of the three powerful Japanese Shoguns. They were Nobunaga Oda, Hideyoshi Toyotomi, and Ieaysu Tokugawa. This also made the Damashii itself a unique one as it was a collective Damashii of more than one historical figure, similar to Necrom's Grimm and Sanzou Eyecons.

"Let's get this over with." Decade declared as he dusted his hands.

"Agreed." Ghost complied.

Decade charged in first and took out both of his Ride Booker and Gan Gun Saber. He fought the Pirate Kaijin as the latter countered his attacks with his golden swords. The Rider's attacks were enhanced by orange spectral energies, making him easily overcame the Pirate Kaijin's sword strikes. The Pirate Kaijin tried to hit him, but his attacks were useless because Decade could turn himself intangible in time.

"What!?" the monster growled in anger.

"Oh, looks like I forgot to mention that Ghost's are untouchable." Decade taunted.

"I'll make sure that your resistance is futile, Decade. For the Dai-Shocker shall reign supreme!"

"Yeah, right. We'll see 'bout that." He sighed.

When the two was stuck in a tie, Decade broke it and kicked the Kaijin in the chest. He then floated to deliver spectral blasts to the monster that slightly cracked the latter's golds. As Decade was about to be shot by the Pirate Kaijin's blast, Ghost stepped in and blocked the blast with his Sunglasslasher and Deep Slasher.

"Whew, that was... wait, how did you get Specter's weapon yourself?" Decade wondered as he noticed that Deep Specter didn't lend him his weapon before.

"Tenkatouitsu allowed me to use all of the Ghostverse weapons. Hence, why this Damashii is the collective of three powerful Shoguns of Japan." Ghost explained.

"I get it. we could really use their help for this war, then." Decade noted.

"Now, if you excuse me..."

Both swords were empowered by golden auras that swept the monster's golden pistols away as soon as Ghost fired at them. He quickly switched back to close-quarter and slashed his swords swiftly. His agile movements were akin to that of a waving flag. The golden energies danced from one place to another, following Ghost's blade swings. They clashed until Ghost managed to swipe the Kaijin's swords away with Decade blasting them to bits.

"Hey Ghost, tag!" Decade said to his senior.

"Fire away!" Ghost complied as they tapped their hands.

Decade went toe-to-toe with the Kaijin after Ghost pulled back. They traded punches and kicks that no normal person could never stand against. The Rider's flurrious strikes finally broke the Kaijin's golds, leaving him with no defense. Heck, he even managed to tore the monster's crown away from his head and bashed it to the latter's skull, breaking the crown in the process. Decade then went invisible and attacked the unsuspecting Kaijin. He also took him up to the air and pummeled him to the ship, cracking the floor beneath it.

"Is that all you got?" Decade snorted.

"Hmph, even if you destroyed me and this ship, the red mist will still cover this part of town. It'll be ruined and left by the citizens-" The Kaijin said.

"So you guys could build a new HQ here that kept you guys immune from the mist's effect. Yeah, we notice that pretty much." Ghost interrupted.

"How did you...!?"

"Let's just say that the brave spirits of the Ghostverse decided to intervene with your evil deeds. Even without any intel, we always knew that it's your particular thing to do as an evil syndicate." Ghost explained.

"A comic-book bad guy cliche, eh? Well, worry not. We got it covered." Decade remarked as his comms detected an incoming transmission from below.

"Guys, it's ready!" Kuuga said.

"All set and go." Kiva-la said.

"Say the word, kid." Decade I awaited.

"Just in time. Punch it!"

As the new Decade commanded, the three senior Riders pressed the launch button on their respective machines. Three blue orbs were launched to the sky. After it reached enough height, the orbs dispersed into blue dusts that soon covered the entire sky and completely erased the red mist. The blue light synched well with the night sky that made it looked beautiful in one's eyes. A refreshing wind also blew from the dispersion. The cure had been successfully launched and the heroes once again thwarted the Dai-Shocker's plan.

Finally, there was only one thing left to do...

"So... this is how it ends..." the Kaijin grunted in his failure.

ATTACK RIDE : CROSSATTACK!

"Guys, get ready to bring this ship down!" Decade shouted through the comms.

"Alright, this is it! give it everything you got!" Ruby complied and turned to the others.

"Finally!" Yang grinned as she used her Semblance.

"Kyle, we're taking on the Kaijin. The rest of you, wreck this ship apart!" Ghost shouted as the Riders sheathed their weapons and engaged their finishers.

FINAL ATTACK RIDE : / DAI KAIGAN! / DAI TENGAN!

GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST! / TENKATOUITSU! / HOUDINI! / SANZOU!

OMEGA DRIVE! / OMEGAULOAD!

The two Riders jumped high. Decade's FFR generated a pink eye seal on his back and wielded both of his weapons in gun mode, while Ghost had his wings retracted and generated a golden seal that also produced two pairs of golden phantom hands. Each of them were holding the other Gan Gun and Slasher weapons as Ghost himself was wielding his own Gan Gun Saber. Knowing what the Riders were up to, the Pirate Kaijin picked his pistols up and fired huge dark energy blasts as the two Riders also fired theirs in response. The monster's blasts were proven powerful enough to take on the two Riders, which caused the latter to have an almost hard time to deal with the blasts.

"Come on...!" Decade grunted.

"Need... more juice!" Ghost grunted.

ATTACK RIDE : / DAI KAIGAN!

GAN GAN MINNA! GAN GAN MINNA!

BLAST!

OMEGA SHOOT! / OMEGA SPARK! / OMEGA FINISH! / OMEGA FLASH! / OMEGA DAMA!

With their finishers activated themselves, their blasts became bigger and it quickly penetrated both the Kaijin and the ships hull. However, the Kaijin quickly gathered his remaining energy for a seemingly unknown reason.

Meanwhile, team RWBY and the other two Ghostverse Riders tore the ship apart. Ruby sent a massive energy slash and Blake consecutively slashed the ships' hull. Necrom launched his spinning chakram that enlarged in golden flames to back Ruby up while Deep Specter flailed Houdini's flaming chains. Yang shot fiery gauntlet blasts and Weiss casted a huge gravity glyph that pulled the ship's deck, crushing the ship from the inside. Once they were done, a Captain Ghost ship appeared from Ghost's eye seal and carried the all-girl team several miles away from the ship, followed by Deep Specter and Necrom.

Back on the top, Decade and Ghost noticed that the Kaijin hadn't exploded yet like the others did. They were wondering why.

"Okay, now that's anti-climatic. I mean like... he hadn't even exploded yet." Decade wondered.

"Now that you say it..."

"Hehehehe... Don't even think... that you can save Vale... just like this..."

The two saw the damaged ship crumbled and fell from the skies. The ship's descend gave them a nad feeling that they soon figured out why.

"Aw, shoot." Ghost cursed.

"Don't friggin' tell me..." Decade figured.

"I'LL FULFILL MY MISSION AS DAI-SHOCKER'S GENERAL! AND I'LL TAKE THIS CITY DOWN WITH ME!"

"What!?" Necrom gasped.

"Is he crazy!?" Weiss cursed.

"Crap! We gotta obliterate it fast!" Decade said to Ghost.

"No kiddin'!" Ghost complied as they initiated their finishers, once again. He switched his weapon to Nitouryu mode.

ATTACK RIDE : / DAI KAIGAN!

GAN GAN MINNA! GAN GAN MINNA!

SLASH!

OMEGA SLASH! / OMEGA SMASH! / OMEGA CRASH! / OMEGA SHINE! / OMEGA GIRI!

Their weapons were all powered-up and they started slashing and smasing throughout the Kaijin ship. They tore the ship through like untamable termites. The heavily wounded Pirate Kaijin desperately kept his remaining energy mantained so that he wouldn't explode along with the ship. Decade and Ghost broke every ship parts that they could find. The last thing that they, and the Riders wanted was that they had to deal with the world council for heavy property damages should the ship fall.

"C'mon, you got this, you got this, you got this...!" Ghost muttered in his breath.

"JUST FRIGGIN' DIE ALREADY!" Decade roared in anger at the dying Kaijin.

"What!? How... how can they be this strong!?"

Once they had reached the broken lower hull, they decided to deliver one last blow to end the monster once and for all.

"Let's end this, senpai."

"Right back at 'ya."

FINAL ATTACK RIDE : / DAI KAIGAN!

GHO-GHO-GHO-GHOST! DE-DE-DE-DECADE! / TENKATOUITSU! OMEGA DRIVE!

Decade's finisher not only generated an orange eye seal behind him, but also formed several card gates from his original finisher. Ghost's golden eye seal also empowered his weapons that floated to his right boot. Each of their seals further boosted their kicking power and their target were fixated on the Pirate Kaijin.

"Our life... is burning bright!"

The two roared at the Kaijin that used his energy shield, only to be broken by the Rider's further empowered upward kicks. Finally, the Pirate Kaijin and the Pirate Ship were engulfed in a massive explosion that could be seen from the horizon...

"Hail... Dai-Shocker!"

And that was the end of our heroes' sky voyage, with them as the victors.

Several citizens went outside from the hospital after the Riders made sure that they were save from any threats. The cure was proven effective as the people felt that their pain was gone for good. Even the Riders and team JNPR were affected by the cure, relieving them from the exhaustion of the last fight.

"They did it." Nora said.

"Man, who knows that they finished it spectacularly." Emu mused.

"Looks like all we have to do left is to see the headline news, tomorrow." Ren noted.

"But I gotta admit, the blue dusts look beautiful from here." Pyrrha added.

"Thank god." Poppy relieved.

"Come on. We should check on the others." Hiiro said.

---

"Alright! Good job, guys!" Kiva-la said from her position.

"Man, talk about some epic ass-whooping there." Kuuga said.

"So much for covert ops." Decade I sighed, knowing that they had to deal with a lot of things from here on.

---

Decade and Ghost descended to the latter's Captain Ghost that awaited them. Suddenly, Decade felt his body became limp and fell to the ship instead, much to the others' shock.

"Kyle!" Ghost called out.

"Wha-hey! You okay?" Yang said as she rushed to him. The others then followed her suit.

After they went close, Blake took his hood off adn his helmet unfolded itself to reveal the Rider's own face. Kyle was seen exhausted.

"I could really use a massage, now."

"Geez, Kyle! Don't startle us like that!" Weiss snorted.

"At least he's fine." Ruby relieved.

"Well, that's what you get when you activate two Final Attack Rides at once. Your current body couldn't stand the strain it had." Ghost explained as he opened his helmet.

"Yeah, my body started to feel sore. I could even barely stand up like this." Kyle said as he powered down.

"Alright, I'll help you up. Ruby, if you don't mind?" Blake told her leader.

"Aye-aye, Will do!" she complied as they both helped.

After Kyle was being accompanied by team RWBY once Captain Ghost landed, Takeru, Makoto and Alan reported their success through the comms.

"Mission accomplished." Takeru joyfully said.

"That was a close one. Had Takeru and Kyle not destroyed the ship, the council would keep an tight eye on us again." Makoto noted.

"Yeah, that's what I thought, too." Takeru commented.

"Terrific. How's Kyle?" Tsukasa asked.

"On the way to Beacon. He activated two Final Attack Rides at once." Alan reported.

"He what?" Tsukasa chuckled.

"That kid totally had some guts, despite such recklessness he did. I give him that." Alan commented.

"Well, I had to use multiple Tenkatouitsu finishers too, in case you're wondering. My heart beat fast like it was a hectic morning in Japan." Takeru remarked.

"I see. Last time I felt like that was when I forgot to set an alarm, and Natsumi had to bonk me up herself." Tsukasa lamented.

"I certainly hope it was truly your last time of your indisciplinary, Tsukasa." Natsumi scoffed.

"Even being the leader of the League has its own merits." Makoto shook his head.

"Wow, what a high-leveled sarcasm you said there, Makoto." Yusuke commented.

"After spending years in the Ganma kingdom? Well, I guess I could say the same for myself." Alan lamented.

"You know that Kyle hadn't been accustomed enough to his own Rider system, unlike you are?" Natsumi noted.

"It's just a matter of time, that is." Takeru said.

"Alright, guys. Let's get some rest for now and call it a day. I don't want anyone ended up sick after this." Tsukasa said.

"Like hell we would." Yusuke joyfully remarked.

"Yeah... who knows, Yusuke. Who knows..."

On the following day...

"Another massive monster attack had occured in the city of Vale last night. The attack happened as a mysterious red mist was spreading itself throughout the town. It was also reported that the red mist also proved hazardous to the citizens. Fortunately, the hospital had stated that a cure was made to counter the effects of the mist. The cure was finally spreaded and the citizens were healed, following the successfully repelled various monster attacks in the city."

"Locals said that the efforts were all thanks to a group of Hutsmen and Huntresses. Not only that, a group of men that the locals known as the Kamen Riders were also involved in the said attempt. However, little was known about these Kamen Riders that were still roaming free in the city of Vale, and possibly the whole world."

Both Cyril and Lisa Lavender reported the events of last night. The news were already everywhere; newspapers, Scroll apps, you name it. Some were intrigued, while the others shrugged it off as usual. Even the shopkeep was interested in hearing more of these Kamen Riders.

Everyone was enjoying their times after the crisis. Tsukasa and his team continued monitoring the League's activities from their house, despite their insecurity of the Kamen Riders started to be exposed more to the public. The Ex-Aidverse Riders and the other staffs were enjoying their break time at the hospital's cafeteria. Emu and some of the staffs were also seen playing DoReMiFa Beat to relieve their stress from work, with Poppy dancing inside the game's cabinet and Hiiro eating his cake.

As for the Ghostverse Riders, they were discussing their next operation inside Tsukasa's house basement. The three Riders had gathered many intels throughout the world of Remnant. Ranging from environments, continents, Dai-Shocker's bases of operations, and many more. However, there was another thing that started to bug them the most, and that was what they were talking about.

"I still kinda feel bad about the White Fang, though." Makoto lamented.

"Oh yeah, I still remember about them used to be a peaceful Faunus organization. I wonder what made them took the violent way." Takeru noted.

"Seeing them remind me of myself. I almost resorted to killing you when I attempted to bring Kanon back by collecting the Eyecons. A sin that I am never proud of." He said bitterly.

"I know, Makoto. I know."

"Do you guys think that they might had something to do with this?" Alan wondered.

"Who knows? We haven't heard about them again ever since that attack to the peds. Good thing our friends stepped in." Makoto said.

"Man, they even attempted to harm those who disagreed with them, including their own kind. That really got on my nerves, here." Takeru huffed bitterly.

"I believe that there might be the ones who defected from them, especially the ones who took resident in Vale. We should go see them, at once." Alan suggested.

"And we need to provide them our protection. From what I've known, no one leaves the White Fang alive." Takeru grimaced.

It was already noon as Blake walked down the streets. She had bought some snacks along her way. As she walked, she started to think back about the words that Xiphon and the Pirate Kaijin said to her. They knew about her undesired past. She remembered biding her farewell to the sins that she had committed. It was also a mystery of how they came to know of it. Suddenly, her friend, Kyle greeted her in the front.

"Hey, Blake."

"Oh, Kyle! Is... is there anything for me?"

"Well, not really. It's just... I noticed that you've been down, lately. Not having a good-night sleep, I assume?" Kyle wondered.

"Maybe?" Blake guessed.

Kyle sighed, "You know that's not what I mean."

"Eh?"

"Back there, I also heard about what Xiphon and his crony said to you. Is that the thing that had been bugging you?"

"It's uhh... complicated. I don't feel like I wanna talk about it." Blake reluctantly answered. Kyle took notice of her insecurity.

"Okay, then. My apologies for being nosy. It's just, I'm afraid that you're still affected by the Terror Memory. I mean, you told me yourself that you wanna help me with that problem of mine, so... I just feel like wanting to return the favor to you."

Blake was slowly convinced by his words. He just wanted to hel her as a friend. She knew that like any other humans, she had her own flaws, too. Perhaps it was about time that she told him more about herself.

"Can we... go to somewhere quiet?"

"Oh, okay then."

The two stopped at the top of a hill, an ideal spot to clear one's mind away from the school and everyone. They ate their snacks for a while and rfreshing their minds just by looking down at the city view.

"Kyle, what do you think about the Faunuses, so far?" Blake asked.

"Humans with animal traits? Why bother asking me that?"

"You know that their protests had been on the news, lately. Some humans still treat them inequally. I want to see it from your very own viewpoint as a... visitor from planet Earth." She explained.

"I see. Well, I just think that they're simply the locals here, simple as that. But to think that what you said is true... then I guess it's one of Remnant's flaws."

"True."

"You know that I've already had much stranger things that happened to me, lately; me being a Kamen Rider, fighting monsters alongside super-powered warriors... on planet Earth, it's already deemed extraordinary. All in all, I don't see anything wrong with them. Some people tend to have various gifts that most people don't have." Kyle answered.

"I see." Blake noted as she was convinced.

"So that's what it's all about. You're a Faunus symphatist." He noted.

"More than just that."

Blake undid her black bow to reveal something that slightly surprised the Rider; a pair of black cat ears that mixed well with her hair. It seems that she had been hiding this from day one.

"I am a Faunus." She stated.

"So... Cute." Kyle slightly gasped as he took a deep breath and covered his mouth.

"Excuse me? you've been saying that for like twice, already." Blake wondered, grimacing as her ears lowered. She was feeling a bit uncomfortable by Kyle's behavior. Moreover, she could hear him saying 'cute' thanks to her cat ears.

"Most boys on my world will react like that. Who wouldn't want a cat girl as a maid, greeting them in front of their doors? It's like the most pleasant fantasy that they could ever ask for. At least that's what I thought." He explained blushingly like he was one of those boys.

"Well, eww. I'm not having these ears just to please your world's boys." Blake rejected.

"But you get my point, don't you?"

"What do you mean?"

"I never see it as a problem. You are what you are, be it aliens or inhumans. All I see in you is that you're a bookworm who devoted yourself to become Remnant's protector. You say that in front of Dai-Shocker, and that makes you a total badass already." He grinned.

"Thanks, Kyle. I appreaciate it ,really." She sighed and giggled in response.

"No sweat. I understand what it feels like to be alienated among your peers. Had been a freak myself for a long time too, you know." He noted.

"Yeah... I noticed that."

Blake was very glad for knowing that she had someone who acknowledged her for who she was. It had been a long time since she had someone like him other than the Faunuses of her peers since she was little. Most humans had disrespected her kind for a long time, even treating them as nothing but mere slaves. It was also relieving for her to know that not everyone in this world was a total jerk.

However, little did the Rider know that Blake still had something more about her, in which the Kunoichi was still unwilling to share.

(A/N)

RWBY : DCD has reached it's 11th stop, and it's still ongoing!

FYI, I'll be starting my college soon, so I'm telling you all that I'll be very busy from here on. Especially, when it comes to a possible chapter delay. Also, there are several things that I'd like to point out, as usual.

First, I've been waiting for this to happen. All of the Ghostverse Riders using their fiery forms at the same time; Toucon Boost, Deep Specter, and Yujou Burst (from Specter's V-Cinema). I know that some people tend to connect several things for fun, and so I'm doing the same. I made them having various special types of flames. Also, the reason for Deep Houdini, Yujou Sanzou, and Toucon Tenkatouitsu to debut was because I feel like they're fitting for their high-tier upgrade forms.

There was also Captain Ghost and I also noticed how less it was being used in the series, so I want to give it a try in an aerial ship fight. And for Ghost's FFR, it took a form as Ghost's own Legend Rider Eyecon, which is toline exclusive and it being an FFR Damashii could be said as an equivalent to Ghost's Tenkatouitsu with different enhancements.

Ex-Aid and Brave were commencing their finishers in their Level 1 forms... just see Ex-Aid episode 44 and you'll know why. Oh, and it's only an episode left before Build starts! I'm so thrilled for that and the Heisei Generations: Final movie!

Now that the red mist crisis has ended, several things start to surface! Does what Tsukasa say is true? Just what is the White Fang? And what does Blake still keep in secret other than her Faunus heritage? Stay tune for more chapters.

And as always, please leave your comments below and BE CONSTRUCTIVE.

Until next time.
