Chapter 7: Rescues and Questions
(Insert "Fuunna Ryotaro" from Kamen Rider Den-O)
Ryotaro was riding his bicycle to try to find Momotaros and the others. "I just need to find anybody who looks like they're possessed by one of them," said Ryotaro. Just then, he saw what appeared to be a tunnel shortcut. "I'll search in that tunnel," said Ryotaro. He started to pedal toward the tunnel. But suddenly, CRASH! He actually crashed into the painted tunnel that Fifi and Pikachu used to escape Elmyra years ago. Ryotaro staggered to his feet. "What in the world?" asked Ryotaro. He touched part of the wall. "This tunnel is fake?!" asked Ryotaro. At that moment, Ryotaro heard the sound of a steam train whistle. He yelled when he heard it coming from the painted tunnel. WHAM! Casey Jr. and the circus train from Dumbo emerged from the fake tunnel, hitting Ryotaro. He screamed as he was sent flying into the air.
Fifi was once again looking for Furrball, with Jean-Claude tagging along. "Where ahre you, Furrbahll?" asked Fifi. She then heard Ryotaro's scream.
"Le huh?" asked Fifi and Jean-Claude. They saw Ryotaro and they screamed. SPLAT! Ryotaro fell on top of Fifi and Jean-Claude, squishing them and causing them to yelp. Ryotaro recovered and saw he accidentally flattened Fifi and Jean-Claude. "Le ouch," groaned both skunks.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I'm sorry!" cried Ryotaro, all panicked. Fifi and Jean-Claude peeled themselves off the ground and shook themselves back to normal.
"Wahtch where you're fahlleeng," groaned Fifi, looking annoyed.
"I'm sorry. I have this really big case of bad luck. Some of my friends say its Guinness level," said Ryotaro.
"Zen your luck must be mahre wahrse zan Furrbahll's," said Jean-Claude.
"If you put it that way, yes. I crashed into a tunnel painting and then got hit by a train that came out of the tunnel. It defies logic," said Ryotaro.
"Zat's Looney Tunes Lahnd fahr you. Everytheeng ahnd everyone defy physeecs. Whaht ees your nahme?" asked Fifi.
"Ryotaro Nogami," said Ryotaro.
I'm Fifi La Fume ahnd ziss my leettle brahthair, Jean-Claude. We're students students ahttendeeng Ahcme Looniverseety. By ze way, hahve you seen my friend, Furrbahll, by ahny chahnce? He's a blue caht ahbout my size ahnd ahge," said Fifi.
"Not since I got here cause I'm looking for some friends who went missing," said Ryotaro.
"Oh, zat's too bahd. I bettair keep lookeeng. I hahpe you find your friends," said Fifi.
"And I hope you find yours," said Ryotaro. And he limped away.

(Resume "Let's Go, Rider Kick" from Kamen Rider)
Meanwhile, Kamen Riders Ichigo & Nigo continued to fight the Bat Kaijin and Spider Kaijin. The two kaijin were knocked onto the ground. Both Kamen Riders used this opportunity to prepare their finishing techniques. The two struck certain poses before leaping into the air. They spun forward as they jumped toward their foes. And finally they each stuck out one of their legs forward in a kicking pose. "DOUBLE RIDER KICK!" shouted Kamen Riders Ichigo & Nigo. The two superheroes kicked the Spider Kaijin and Bat Kaijin. The two monsters screamed as they were sent flying backwards before they exploded into smithereens. The two Kamen Riders stood in victory poses as their foes blew up behind them.
(End Music)
"Come on, Nigo. We need to meet up with the other Kamen Riders and tell them about the kidnapping that had just happened," said Ichigo.
"Right," said Nigo. The two called upon their motorcycles and drove off as quickly as they could.
(Resume "Full Force" from Kamen Rider Kabuto)
"Clock up," said Kabuto. He pulled a button on the right side of his belt.
"Clock up," said the Kabuto Zecter. He began to move faster than the Skunk Worm. He delivered several punches, kicks and axe strikes on his enemy. "Clock over," said the Kabuto Zecter. Suddenly, due to get hit by all those attacks, the Skunk Worm was sent crashing into a wall.
"I think it's time to end this fight," said Kabuto. He pressed some buttons on his Zecter.
"1, 2, 3," said the Kabuto Zecter. He flipped the horn back into it's original position.
"Rider kick!" said Kabuto. He then flipped it again as it crackled with electricity.
"Rider kick!" said the Kabuto Zecter. Energy began to build in the Zecter before it traveled to Kabuto's right leg. The Skunk Worm recovered and charged at Kabuto. But the beetle themed Kamen Rider quickly spun around and kicked the Skunk Worm, knocking him down. When the Worm hit the ground, BOOM! The Skunk Worm was destroyed.
(End Music)
At that moment, a communicator that Kamen Rider Kabuto carried started to beep. He took it out and answered it. "Yes?" asked Kabuto.
"This is Kamen Rider Ichigo to Kamen Rider Kabuto. We got trouble. S.H.O.C.K.E.R. is here. Nigo and I encountered Ambassador Hell. He sent the Spider Kaijin and Bat Kaijin against us while he kidnapped a female pig," said Ichigo.
"I had an encounter with S.H.O.C.K.E.R. forces too. Worms kidnapped a human girl," said Kabuto.
"This is bad," said Nigo.
"We better regroup with the other Kamen Riders," said Kabuto.
"Yes. I just hope Ryotaro has found his Imagin partners," said Ichigo.
(Insert "Black Action" from Kamen Rider Black)
The fight between Kamen Rider Black and the Rat Mutant was still raging. The Rat Mutant was starting to weaken. "Kingstone Flash!" cried Black. His Kingstone let off an intense light that blinded the Rat Mutant. It screamed and clutched its eyes. Black was now ready to initiate his finisher. He jumped into air and his fist began to glow green. "RIDER PUNCH!" said Black. He punched the Rat Mutant in the face. After that, Black jumped back into the air. "RIDER KICK!" cried Black. He kicked the Rat Mutant in the chest. The kick sent the Rat Mutant tumbling backwards, screaming. It then exploded into oblivion. "I got to regroup with the others," said Black. He got onto his motorcycle and drove as fast as he could.

Fifi and Jean-Claude arrived outside of Tadashi's house. Fifi rang on the doorbell and the one who answered it was Tadashi's mother. "Oh. Hello. Who are you?" asked Tadashi's Mom.
"Bahnjour. My nahme ees Fifi La Fume," said Fifi.
"Ahnd I'm Jean-Claude, hair leettle brahthair. We met Tahdashi befriended aht ze ahrcahde. He said we could cahme ovair. Ees he hahme?" asked Jean-Claude.
"Why yes. He is. Come on in," said Tadashi's Mom. She led Fifi and Jean-Claude into the house and the two skunks found Tadashi in his room.
"Ah, Fifi, Jean-Claude. You're here. How's about I show you my card collection?" asked Tadashi.
"Oui," said Fifi & Jean-Claude. The young dragon showed Fifi and Jean-Claude his collection of Kamen Rider Ganbarizing cards that he's collected over the years. Some were more rare than the others.
"So, who was this friend you were searching for yesterday?" asked Tadashi.
"Eet wahs Furrbahll ze Caht. He ahsked me out on a dahte, wheech ees tahnight. But zen, my friends tahld me ahbout sahme strahnge sings he wahs doing. He beat up hees ahbusive ownair, Elmyra, twice. Zen, he wahs fleerteeng weeth othair geerls besides moi. He ahlso deesplayed crahzy strength ahnd ahlso shrunk Sweetie Pie," said Fifi. Tadashi was silent when Fifi told him that information.
"When Furrball was flirting with you, was he well dressed and wore glasses?" asked Tadashi.
"Oui," said Fifi. "Were his eyes blue too?" asked Tadashi.
"Why ahre you ahskeeng me zose speceefic questions? Do you know sahmetheeng ahbout Furrbahll's weird behahvior?" asked Fifi.
"Not unless I see for myself. Come on, let's go find Furrball," said Tadashi. He, Fifi and Jean-Claude then left to find him.
Kamen Rider OOO threw the Shark Yummy out of the water and onto dry land. He jumped out of the water too and was ready to finish the battle. He scanned his OOO Driver with the O Scanner. "Scanning charge!" said the OOO Driver. OOO then created a freezing mist from his gauntlets. This created ice that caused the Same Yummy to start slipping in a cartoony fashion. He flailed his arms as he was slipping. Then, OOO used his penguin flippers to skate across the ice toward the Shark Yummy. He then readied his fist, ready to punch the Same Yummy.
"SEEYA!" yelled OOO. He punched the Shark Yummy, sending it flying across the ground. It fell back into the water with a splash. This was followed by an explosion and Cell Medals were sent flying out of the water and onto the ground. "I got to tell the others about the kidnapping," said OOO.
"You faced some S.H.O.C.K.E.R. forces that kidnapped some civilians too?" asked a voice. It was Kamen Rider Zero-One. He dropped the remains of a destroyed Humagear onto the ground.
"I did. The ones who kidnapped someone was Mezool and Gamel. You witnessed a kidnapping as well?" asked OOO.
"Yes. Humagears kidnapped a sea captain and his parrot," said Zero-One.
"You don't suppose S.H.O.C.K.E.R. has sent forces to kidnap people all over town?" asked OOO.
"It may be what's happening. We got to regroup with the other Riders," said Zero-One. The two Riders got onto their motorcycles and drove out of the harbor area.
T.I.N.O. began to search for any sign of the S.H.O.C.K.E.R. forces kidnapping the toons. They heard the cries of distress from somebody. "Hero time!" said T.I.N.O. Robin. T.I.N.O. ran to where they heard the cries for help. They came to an alleyway where a group of G.O.D. Warfare Agents led by Apollogeist were trying to kidnap some random toons. Just then, a sonic cannon blast hit Apollogeist, knocking him down.
"Who dares?!" asked Apollogeist. He turned and saw T.I.N.O. It was T.I.N.O. Cyborg who fired the sonic cannon blast. "Who do you think you five are?" asked Apollogeist.
"We're the Teen Titans! And you're going down!" said T.I.N.O. Robin.
"Yeah right. I saw the real Teen Titans on the news while we were trying to figure out the threats that stand in our way. And you five are not them," said Apollogeist. This made the five superhero wannabes mad.
"Oh yeah! We'll show you!" said T.I.N.O. Starfire.
"I might as well kidnap you as well! Warefare Agents, get them!" said Apollogeist. The G.O.D. Warefare Agents charged at T.I.N.O. T.I.N.O. charged at the enemy foot soldiers. This resulted in a big, ball of violence. Unfortunately for T.I.N.O., they were getting beaten up badly by the G.O.D. Warefare Agents. Apollogeist watched as his soldiers beat them to the ground. "Hmph. Pathetic. Just utterly pathetic. The Kamen Riders put up more of a fight," said Apollogeist. Very soon, the dust cleared up, showing T.I.N.O.'s injuries. Their clothes were torn, they had black eyes and were covered in bruises and slash marks from the Warefare Agents' spears. "You guys give up? Have you had enough pain?" asked Apollogeist.
"NEVER!" said T.I.N.O. Beast Boy defiantly. Suddenly, without warning, T.I.N.O. was warped into what appeared to be outer space.
"Huh?" asked T.I.N.O. They turned around, just in time to get shot by a barrage of laser darts. The five superhero imitators screamed and yelped as they were getting hit. Their attacker then threw a spear that stabbed them at once like a shish kabob. The spear hurled them into a phantom sun and were instantly burned by it. They screamed as they felt their bodies getting roasted. This was followed by an explosion. T.I.N.O. were warped back to where Apollogeist was and they fell down at his feet, burned to a crisp, but alive. Apollogeist turned to the one who attacked T.I.N.O. It was somebody wearing black armor that made him look like a kaijin.
"Well done . . . General Xaviax," said Apollogeist.
"I can see why they were banished from their home dimension. They don't take things seriously. We'll drain their tooniness as well," said Xaviax. The G.O.D. Warefare Agents then picked up their unconscious bodies.
"Hey!" said a voice.
"Take those five to the base. I'll deal with this nuisance," said Xaviax. Apollogeist and his forces left with their prisoners. The one entering was Kamen Rider Ryuki, riding his motorcycle known as a Ride Shooter. He braked and got off of his bike. "Well, well, well. Now there's a familiar face, in a manner of speaking," said Xaviax.
"What are you talking about? I never saw you before," said Ryuki.
"True. But I recognize the armor," said Xaviax.
"Don't tell me. You know Shiro Kenzaki?" asked Ryuki.
"No, I do not. Where I come from, there are Kamen Riders. And I was destroyed by them, which includes your counterpart, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight!" said Xaviax, with a growl. Ryuki was shocked. An alternate version of him exists somewhere in the multiverse? But he didn't have to time to dwell as he saw Xaviax materialize a staff. Ryuki prepared himself to combat this unknown foe.
Shocker Rider Ouja was sent crashing into some trash cans by Kamen Riders Decade & DiEnd and their duplicates. Ouja realized he was outmatched. "We'll settle this another time!" said Ouja. He disappeared through the reflection of one of the trash cans. The duplicates of Decade and DiEnd then vanished.
"Come on, Kaito. We gotta tell the others about what's happening," said Decade.
"You don't have to tell me twice," said DiEnd.
Agents Maltese and Asami were looking for any sign of the toon nappers. Just then, the two heard the screams of some toons. "Come on. Let's hurry!" said Asami. The two ran to the scene of the disturbance. When they arrived, they saw a group of Shimi, soldiers of the Megiddo trying to capture both Plucky Duck and Shirley the Loon.
"Like, back away you freaks!" said Shirley. She fired a psychic blast, knocking some of them down. But then, something scratched Shirley from behind. She screamed as she got scratched in the back. She fell to the ground.
"Shirley!" cried Plucky, running to her side. Shirley had scratches on her back that were bleeding. Plucky turned and saw Shirley's attacker. It was a vicious chimera based Megiddo named Zooous.
"Never send the grunts to do a general's job," said Zooous.
"You'll pay for that!" said Plucky. He charged at Zooous. But the Megiddo general just kicked Plucky knocking him down.
"You two are extra crispy once S.H.O.C.K.E.R. is through with you," snarled Zooous. Suddenly, Zooous got shot by Agents Maltese and Asami using guns. However, the bullets didn't really do damage on him. He turned around and spotted the two government agents.
"Back away from the toons, monster," said Asami.
"Looks like I'll have to deal with you two first," said Zooous. He charged at the two agents. Asami and Maltese continued to fire at Zooous, but he wasn't flinching. He punched the two, knocking them down. Zooous was about to kill them when somebody attacked him by slashing him a fiery slash. It was Kamen Rider Saber. He wore red, black and white armor and his helmet had yellow eye lenses. He carried a sword that was capable of generating flames. Zooous saw his attacker. "Saber!" said Zooous.
"I didn't think you'd stoop to trying to kidnap people," said Saber. He turned to Agents Maltese and Asami.
"Get those two birds to safety. I'll hold Zooous off," said Saber.
"Right," said the agents. They helped Plucky and Shirley get back up on their feet and made a run for it. Kamen Rider Saber charged at Zooous and tried to slash him, but the Megiddo blocked the attack. Zooous tried to strike Saber, but Saber dodged his blows. He then slashed Zooous causing sparks to fly. "It seems being resurrected by S.H.O.C.K.E.R. didn't really give you much of a power boost," said Saber.
"Shut up!" yelled Zooous. He fired an energy blast at Saber, knocking him down. Zooous then tried to step on him, but he rolled out of the way. The red Kamen Rider got back up and slashed Zooous again.

Ryuki and Xaviax's weapons clashed with a loud clang. They struggled to overpower each other. "You're not half bad, but you stand no chance against me," said Xaviax as his hand began to glow blue. Too late to react, Ryuki was hit by a point blank blast in the stomach. He cried out as he was sent flying. He landed with a painful thud. He coughed as he tried to recover from the attack.
"We Karshians are natural born warriors. I have years of battle experience at my disposal. You cannot beat me," said Xaxiax. Ryuki got up as he managed to get onto his feet.
"That may be so, but we Kamen Riders never give up without a fight." said Ryuki as he drew a card from his Advent Deck. It was his Survive Rekka card. Flames began to surround him as his Dragvisor turned into the Dragvisorzwei. He put the card into the mouth of the device before closing it.
"Survive." called Ryuki's gadget as his armor changed into his Survive Mode armor.
"Survive Mode. Like I didn't see that coming." said Xaxiax. But given how this is a different version of Dragon Knight, his Survive Mode may not have the same power draining flaw. Better not overestimate him, thought the evil warlord. The Dragblade popped out of his visor as Ryuki charged. Xaviax blocked his blows, but he was beginning to get overpowered. His staff was then knocked out of his hands as Ryuki began to slash and hack the evil general. Sparks began to fly from Xaviax's as each blow struck home. Xaviax was sent flying from an upper slash attack. He cried out in pain as he landed on his back.
"Had enough?" asked Ryuki, preparing for any counterattacks.
"Not quite yet." said Xaviax as he got up. He then began charging a more bigger and powerful energy blast. Ryuki quickly drew card and activated it.
"Guard vent," called his Visor. Xaviax fired the attack, but Dragranzer coiled around Ryuki protectively. The energy ball hit the pair and created a lot of smoke. When it cleared, the two were unharmed. Xaviax growled with comlink in his helmet began to chime.
"Xaviax, pull out. Out forces have gathered enough toons to enact our plan." said Shadowmoon over the com.
"Very well." said Xaviax. The Karsh warlord turned to Ryuki. "Seems we'll have to finish our game another time." said Xaviax as he dove into a mirror escaping.
(End Music)
Ryuki took out his Advent deck as his armor disappeared and Dragranzer turned back to Dragredder. He turned to his partner.
"Wish we knew what S.H.O.C.K.E.R. was up to, buddy." said Shinji as he rubbed his partner's snout. Dragredder growled softly at his friend's touch. "Head back to Mirror World. You need to rest up. I have a feeling the bigger battle is yet to come." said Shinji. His dragon flew into a nearby mirror and Shinji left the area.
Meanwhile, the brawl between Kamen Rider Saber and Zooous was still raging. Just then, Zooous' communicator activated. "Zooous, we have enough toons captured. Fall back for now," said Great Leader. Zooous growled in frustration.
"We'll settle thus another time, Saber!" said Zooous. And he disappeared. Just then, Agents Maltese and Asami reappeared.
"Are the two birds safe?" asked Saber.
"Yes," said Asami.
"What were those things and who are you?" asked Maltese.
"I am Kamen Rider Saber. Those monsters were Megiddo, creatures I fought to protect the world I came from. But it seems they're now in league with S.H.O.C.K.E.R.," said Saber.
"Why are they kidnapping toons?" asked Asami.
"I want to know that myself," said Saber.
Surprise! Bet you didn't expect General Xaviax from the U.S. version of Kamen Rider Ryuki; Kamen Rider Dragon Knight to appear, didn't ya? For those who may be confused, Xaviax's "Final Vent" is from the Nintendo Wii game. Agents Maltese and Asami are starting to understand what's going on. Next chapter, we'll get to see what Furrball can really do when the Imagin possess him.
