Chapter 5.5: The World of Com-Pan-Ion-Ship!
Natsumi and Layla watch from their end, staggered, to see a black version of the rider helping Tsukasa and Dragonic.
''A Dark Fourze, huh?'' Decade proclaims, dubbing him such almost amusing. Fourze still watches, uttering out in confusion. "How can there be a dark me? Like that shouldn't be possible."
Dragonic agrees but anything is possible if the conditions are meant.
''You're ruining my plans.'' Dark Fourze speaks with a dark toned voice changer, sounding distorted. He then holds up an Astro Switch with a dark color and thrusts it into one of the four slots. He twirls the small switch, proclaiming as he moves his left leg forward. ''Die.''
Dark Fourze uses the Gatling Switch, blasting at the two riders with vicious shots that cause both riders to evade and get out of way, taking cover though Decade rushes and pins Natsumi and Layla on the ground. Dragonic just flies around the bullets, sticking his tongue out which causes the dark rider to try shooting him down and missing.
''This is really new! I never had a dark me before.'' Fourze expresses, finding all of this rather exciting. Decade just scoffs at his words and proclaims, squatting up and holding a Rider Card. ''Can't be helped.'' He looks to his side and sees someone and has a plan.
He gets up fully and runs at Dark Fourze, thrusting the card into his belt's card slot.
''KAMEN RIDE! BLADE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade transforms into Blade, reflecting the Gatling shots with the Blay Rouzer. Dark Fourze just snaps his fingers as an army of Zodiarts appear to everyone's surprise. He then uses a different Switch to fire missiles at him. Decade reacts, dunking a card into his belt, still charging forward.
''ATTACK RIDE! METAL!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade-Blade turns fully metalized and tanks the missiles. The explosions surround him as Dark Fourze watches as the smoke slowly clears up and startles as Decade is gone. He looks at the others who are gone. All that he can see is Utahoshi who runs away.
''Hmph, weakling.'' Dark Fourze proclaims as he turns his back and walks away, having other plans. ''I'll deal with them later.''
Natsumi breathes heavily, thankful that Sougo appeared as Tsukasa was distracting Dark Fourze.
''So it was Utahoshi who was attacking students but it was that rider who was taking them.'' Sougo theorizes as Tsukasa follows. ''And those other Zodiarts are the missing students, brainwashed by this Dark Fourze.''
''Then what should we do?'' Gentaro asks, upset how things are turning out. Natsumi hums as does Layla. Dragonic sighs as he's about to tell them but Kivala beats it to him, cooing. ''We find who Dark Fourze is, smooch~''
The others blink as that idea will work to the purple dragon's annoyance.
''And you, Tsukasa-san?'' Sougo asks Tsukasa who changes his clothes with one of his actual outfits, adjusting his sleeveless vest. ''I'm going to have a chat with that kid's friends and learn a thing or two about him.''
Natsumi nods happily while Gentaro tells him with a smile and a thumbs up. ''Good luck Tsukasa!''
Tsukasa just scoffs as he walks away with Dragonic flying beside him. Natsumi watches them leave, certain they'll be okay but she does ask Gentaro of his opinion. ''You think Tsukasa-kun will help him?''
Gentaro hums, not at first but how he didn't say he was responsible for the students going missing confirms he feels for him. Smiling, he tells her. ''Without a doubt!''
Natsumi smiles back; glad she's not the only one.
The rest of Team A were in their group room, treating Ryusei's wounds. Somehow, Usahoshi pulled him out of the place before Dark Fourze could do anything to him.
''What happen to the Meteor Driver?'' Tomoko asks Ryusei with a worried voice. He grunts, adjusting himself as he mutters out. ''S-stolen.''
This shocks the group with Shun questioning. ''Then how can we stop the monsters.''
''Or even stop-'' Yuki begins to say, saddened until someone beats her in the last words. ''Utahoshi, right?''
The group turns and becomes alarmed to see Tsukasa before them, just walking in.
''You…'' Ryusei utters angrily, assuming he and that other guy who took the Meteor Driver are working together and are going to finish the job. However, Tsukasa raises his hands up peacefully as he proclaims. ''Relax, not here to deal with any of you. I actually want to help your friend.''
This surprises them with Yuki asking, almost sounding convinced. ''You can help Utahoshi-san?''
''I am.'' Tsukasa affirms his early statement. "But I need to know why he's doing this?"
The group eyes each other and agrees to tell him. They inform Tsukasa with Dragonic overhearing outside the room that this began a few weeks ago. He gained this device that turns him into a monster from someone and used it to take out any and all of the best students other than in their team so he could achieve his dream… just like his father. Tsukasa raises an eyebrow and he realizes it. ''I see. He feels inferior because of his father, the owner/headmaster of the training station.''
The group are astonished that he figured it out and they nod with Yuki saying. ''Utahoshi's father is a good man. It's just that Utahoshi feels inferior; wanting nothing more but to be a great astronaut just like he was.''
Tsukasa hums, eyeing to the window outside that Dragonic is listening to them.
''I get the gist of why he's doing all of this.'' He proclaims, understanding the want to impress someone who wants him to be better. He then eyes his group and questions them. ''One thing I don't fully understand is you all.''
They all eye each other with Miu speaking up for them. ''Utahoshi may not have shown it but he's a good person. Both smart and determine.''
''And his goals are similar to our own, wishing to become something.'' Shun expresses with Kaizo adding. ''We trust him as much as he trusts us.''
''He would help us even if we never asked for his help.'' Tomoko also says with Ryusei also adding. ''He will do what he can to protect any of us.''
''And because he's our dearest friend.'' Yuki finally says, expressing softly for her friend.
''…'' Silent as he can see they're all clearly loyal to their friend, Tsukasa makes up his mind to help them truly.
''I'll need your help to reach your friend.'' He proclaims, knowing that will be the key. They blink but they also nod strongly, going to help out.
Sitting on his desk, the owner, Utahoshi's father, sighs as he looks at old photos of himself and his crew in his youth. If not for his comrades, he would not have gone as far as to reach the stars and just seeing his son so selfish in wanting that; it upsets him.
''Sigh, my son. When will you learn?'' He questions himself, still sighing. He wants his son to see the true value of being an astronaut, that it takes more than 1 person to break through gravity.
''Pardon our excuses, chairman.'' He startles, looking up and walking forward is his hooded host and her butler. ''You're-'' She smiles as she interrupts him. ''The program went better than I had hope but now we will enter the final phase.''
He raises an eyebrow, not following until he's suddenly picked up and thrashed out of his chair. He grunts, looking up and he's shocked to see it's Dark Fourze, breathing deeply. He eyes the belt and gasps, questioning him. ''How do you have that belt?!''
Dark Fourze doesn't speak as he grabs him off the ground, choking him one handed but before he can squeeze the life out of him, she orders him. ''Enough. I wish to show this world what happens when they define Dai-Shocker.''
He stops and just obeys, dragging the man with them.
Alone, Utahoshi is sitting on the school's grounds. He's staring at the Zodiarts Switch, gripping in his hands. He still can't believe he was given this and with it, he can get rid of the competition so he can become close to his dream.
''Absol!'' He becomes alarmed, standing up fast just as Layla leaps in front of him, growling.
''There he is!'' He turns to see Natsumi pointing as she, Gentaro and Sougo approach him.
''Get away from me!'' Utahoshi shouts at them, holding his thumb to the Zodiarts Switch's button. Gentaro has seen this many times with other friends he's made, reaching out to him too. ''You can't let that thing control you. It's not who you are. I've seen many fall under the possession of that Switch. You have friends that-''
''I DON'T CARE!'' Yelling at him, Utahoshi protests as he grips the switch even tighter. ''This gave me power, something I never had. With it, I can achieve my dreams and show it to my father, proving it to him!''
Gentaro is startled and frowns, reminded a bit of Kengo.
''Is that how you want it?'' Utahoshi startles again, turning to see Tsukasa walking up.
''Tsukasa-kun!'' Natsumi utters with a bright smile.
Swiping his front hair, Tsukasa begins to mock the selfish boy. ''I would call you a scum for attacking those also following their dreams.'' He then corrects himself, telling him. ''But something tells me you hate that, hating to fail in your dreams that your friends figure out the truth; all of them worry for you."
''Shut up!'' Utahoshi yells at him. Tsukasa gazes at him and smirks, proclaiming confidently. ''Tell that to them.'' He points his finger to the side. Utahoshi turns to what he's pointing out and his eyes widen, staring at his friends. ''Everyone…''
Yuki is the first to walk forward, expressing softly. ''We know what you did but we also know you couldn't bring yourselves to do it.''
Utahoshi is silent, looking away. He didn't know they knew. When could he have exposed that secret?
''So he only tried to scare off the students but never attacked them.'' Gentaro proclaims the early statement Tsukasa made. Tsukasa nods as he eyes Ryusei and theorizes. ''He even got his friend involved to become Meteor, didn't he?''
Ryusei frowns, not able to see the person who first accepted him here to remain a monster.
''You don't understand-'' Utahoshi begins to say, gripping harder on the Switch but Tsukasa sighs, beginning to tell the naive boy. ''I don't. My father died when I was just a child as did my mother.''
This surprises the young man, looking at Tsukasa who continues telling him. ''But I get your reasons. You just wanted your father to see you as someone who will surpass him, to earn his approval and acknowledgement. It's not a bad thing but you can never forget there are others in your life.''
Recalling what Dragonic once taught him about the powers of Decade and the importance of forging connections with others, Tsukasa begins sharing that lesson to Utahoshi. ''You can surpass yourself many times over and over but you must never forget the friends who are watching your back.'' He looks up and smirks, proclaiming. ''No matter the distance, bonds can never break away; they become stronger. That's what my friend-my mentor taught me.''
Gentaro snickers, agreeing with him. Natsumi smiles too as she eyes Dragonic up above them, certain it's him who Tsukasa is referring to. Dragonic just smirks, adjusting his fedora hat downward; touched.
Utahoshi is silent by his words, reminded of what his father once told him; about always having your teammates close to your heart no matter where you go. Could… could he be right all along?
''What disappointment.'' Everyone startles as they turn to the main building where Hayami steps forward and tosses Utahoshi's father on the ground. This shocks the young man, angrily.
''Oh? Principal and-'' Tsukasa begins to say as his eyes narrow towards the small hooded figure. ''You're this princess I've heard about.'' He then snaps his fingers, correcting himself as he points his finger at her while he smirks. ''More like the so-called Princess of Dai-Shocker.''
Tsukikage scowls, about to say something but his princess protests with a wave of her arm. She smirks rather cockily before answering Tsukasa. ''… You're exactly as my Onii-san said you were; a cocky fool just like him.''
Tsukasa's confident smirk slowly becomes a face of shock, his eyes staggered as does his face; almost like he's looking at a ghost. To him, that voice, yes that voice was hers… No, this isn't the time for him to panic. Even Natsumi, Layla and Dragonic notice that expression Tsukasa had and it's one he would rarely make.
''Father!'' Tsukasa snaps out, eyeing Utahoshi yelling as his father is tossed onto the ground. Giggling, the princess orders Hayami. ''Go ahead.''
Hayami smirks as he holds up the Dark Fourze Driver. This shocks everyone as both Utahoshi and Gentaro both utter in awe. ''You.''
Tsukasa glares, figuring as much.
''Hayami, I don't understand. How?'' Utahoshi's father tries speaking out about the belt. Hayami looks down at him with a smug smirk and proclaims. ''Thanks to your blueprints, Gamou-san, I was able to achieve what you failed!'' He begins laughing evilly, gripping on the dark belt. ''The power to surpass the universe! With Dai-Shockers' help, I now wield such power!''
''And that's why you had sold your world to them?'' Sougo questions him which causes the man to frown and proclaims coldly. ''I've always been weak, even under Gamou-san's shadow. But now I am stronger than him!''
He soon straps on the Dark Fourze Driver as he declares. ''I will show you how hopeless you all are against me! Henshin.''
He doesn't even twirl the switches on the belt and just pulls the lever, instantly transforming him into Dark Fourze, releasing a burst of dark cosmic energy.
Soon multiple Zodiarts appear, all obedient by Dark Fourze's will or rather each of their eyes are pitch black… almost like Yusuke when he was consumed by the darkness of Kuuga's Ultimate form. Tsukasa also realizes that this isn't Dark Fourze's powers, eyeing the princess.
''Hmph. You're willing to doom your world for this falsehood power?'' Tsukasa questions his motive, really unimpressed. Dark Fourze scoffs at that and tells him off. ''A weakling who doesn't seek grander power could never understand!''
''… Power like that is a worthless power. I'll show you what real power is like.'' Frowning at his simple minded response, Tsukasa says as he straps on the Decadriver, announcing. ''KAMEN RIDE!''
''I also won't let you do what you want!'' Gentaro also declares, walking forward alongside Tsukasa he puts on the Fourze Driver. He flips each of the four Switches of the Fourze Driver as it begins to count down while everyone watches. ''3! 2! 1!''
''Henshin!'' Both of them shout out as Tsukasa thrusts his Rider Card and Gentaro pulls on the lever of his belt.
''DECADE!'' The Decadriver announces as Tsukasa transforms into Decade while Gentaro transforms into Fourze.
Holding his arms to his chest as he squats down, Fourze shouts out passionately as he raises both hands up high to the sky.
''SPACE IS HERE!'' Fourze shouts out passionately with both arms up to the skies before he holds up his right fist forward. ''Let's do this mano-a-mano!''
Tsukikage prepares to summon his transformation belt to change but his princess stops him, advising him. "Let Dark Fourze deal with them." As she walks away to watch this from a distance.
Decade watches until he snaps out and orders Fourze. ''Deal with your darker half, Sunshine Boy!''
Fourze gives him a thumbs up as he shouts. "No problem!" He comes charging at Dark Fourze who also runs forward and the two clash fists. They push the other back as they come at the other as they clash more punches, evading the other's hits and then clash kicks, pushing them back again.
''DRILL ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces after Fourze flips an Astro Switch from the far left. His left leg is coated in yellow energy before being covered in a large, drill-like weapon. Dark Fourze responds with his own drill leg, kicking and clashing with Fourze's drill. Sparks fly out as they kick harder and faster only to get pushed backwards.
Dark Fourze switches into scissor wrist blades. He comes swinging as Fourze slides another Switch in the middle left.
''SHIELD ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces as his left arm is coated in white energy before covered in a medium-size shield resembling a space shuttle. He blocks the blades, sparks flying out as he slides another Switch.
''GATLING ON!'' The driver announces as the drill leg is replaced with a large, Gatling weapon. He begins firing at Dark Fourze, damaging him on top of stunning him enough to keep him in place.
Utahoshi stares at his injured father, scowling as he feels so powerless. He eyes the Zodiart Switch. It promised so much power to him. Dark Fourze gave it to him to achieve his goals and all it did was cause pain and misery. Gritting his teeth, he slams the switch onto the ground and it shatters.
Decade sees this, evading multiple Zodiarts' attacks, snickering as he tells him. ''Go to your father, Utahoshi!''
This shocks the young man as Yuki even tells him, smiling. ''We got you cover.'' Every one of his friends all agree. He eyes them all and nods as he gets up and runs for it. Some Zodiart get in his way only to get tackled by Utahoshi's friends, giving him the chance to reach his father.
''Father!'' Utahoshi shouts, bending down and tries to lift his father up his feet. He frowns, looking back as Decade and now Sougo, transformed as Zi-O, is fighting off the numerous Zodiarts with Layla. He feels responsible for all of this, wishing he can take it all back.
''Sorry, father. I… I just…'' Utahoshi tries to apologize to him until Dark Fourze unleashes energy whips that blast Fourze away.
''Damn nuisances!'' He shouts, taking aim with a cannon arm at Utahoshi's friends and prepares to fire. Utahoshi sees this and shouts, forced to release his father as he runs to protect him. ''EVERYONE!''
''SON!'' His father yells out, watching as his son throws himself in between Dark Fourze and his friends, protecting them. The Dark Fourze scoffs as he prepares to kill them all and fires… only for Decade to get in between them and quickly use the Barrier Rider Card, protecting them but not before the attack releases an explosion.
''Tsukasa-kun!'' Natsumi cries out, watching as the smoke of the explosion clears up and Utahoshi and his friends are okay as well as Tsukasa, de-transformed but on one knee, panting heavily.
Dark Fourze grunts as he prepares to fire until Zi-O gets in the way, slashing him as he triggers the Zikan Girade's sword form. "KEN! GIRI GIRI GIRI!" He performs multiple slashes that release pink energy waves across his body and blasts him backwards.
Tsukasa grunts, wobbly as he needs a moment to recharge as Zodiarts begin to come at him. Layla leaps to protect him but growls as there's too many.
''I got this, Tsukasa-san!'' Fourze shouts, thrusting 2 new Switches into the middle right and far right slots.
''MAGIC HAND ON! STEALTH ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces as Fourze's right arm is coated in pink energy before covered in a long, crane-like weapon with a grip claw while his right leg is coated in purple energy before covered in a medium-size purple metal that immediately turns Fourze invisible.
He charges at the enemy as he suddenly turns invisible as he hits around the Zodiarts with a strong wide swing from the crane claw weapon. He then extends it as the claw grabs Tsukasa and pulls him away from the monsters. He sets him away as Fourze pulls out a cellphone.
''How about this!'' Fourze declares, splitting up the strange colored cellphone into two Switches: A red Switch on the right hand and a blue Switch on the left hand. He soon thrusts both Switches on the far ended sides of his belt slots.
''N MAGNET!'' The Fourze Driver announces, followed by the other Switch. ''S MAGNET! N/S MAGNET ON!'' Fourze glows as a low-toned dynamic music form. He changes, gaining a silver, more fitted and larger astronaut outfit with red-blue side stripes with two large cannons over his shoulders.
''Tada! Magnet States!'' Fourze declares as he grips on both Switch handles and starts pressing their buttons, firing energy pulse blasts from his cannon shoulders, blasting away multiple Zodiarts like flies.
Fourze then flips the button cover on the N MagPhone halves and presses the button behind it. The cannons begin charging up twin spheres of electromagnetic energy as Fourze shouts. ''RIDER SUPER ELECTROMAGNETIC BOMBER!''
The MagCannons fire a burst of electromagnetism that slam into a single Zodiarts, tearing him apart but also pulling all the other ones up close, sucking them up and then releasing a devastating explosion.
Tsukasa whistles, actually impressed.
''Absol!'' Layla barks at him who eyes her and tells her. ''I'm fine, Layla.'' He stands up, knowing his job isn't done yet.
Utahoshi also watches amazed as his friends approach them, relieved he's okay but he frowns for what he's done. He bows, apologizing. ''I'm sorry for everything. I've been a terrible leader and let my goals nearly cost all of your lives.'' He bitten his lips, feeling like crap for what he did to them all. ''I don't deserve friends like you or become an astronaut. I-''
''Yes you do, Utahoshi-san!'' Yuki immediately yells out in protest, not able to accept that from him. ''Because we know whatever happens, you will always protect us. Always.''
Utahoshi staggers by that as the others feel strongly to support their comrade.
''… I will become better-'' Utahoshi begins to say, needing to be better but Ryusei places his hand on his shoulder and corrects him with a smile. ''No, we will become stronger and surpass our limits! That is our friendship.''
Utahoshi is left speechless, just smiling.
''What trash.'' The group startles as Dark Fourze approaches them and prepares to kill them until Utahoshi's father shouts loudly to his son, tossing something to him. ''GENTARO!''
''Eh, me?!'' Fourze utters puzzled, pointing at himself, but it wasn't as Utahoshi catches whatever his father tossed and it's the Fourze Driver.
''No way!'' Fourze yells out in surprise. Utahoshi is shocked, questioning him. ''Father.''
He smiles as he explains it to his son. ''You now understand what it takes to be a true astronaut: Your comrades are more important than anything else.''
''It's utter trash!'' Dark Fourze shouts furiously, manifesting a beam arm cannon on his right arm and fires it until Absol blocks the shots with Protect, glaring with Tsukasa beside her.
''It's not trash.'' Tsukasa begins to proclaim, making up a speech as he eyes Utahoshi and his friends. ''Not one person can live life without a purpose or without those they will stand beside. That's what you don't understand. Gentaro chose the power of his friends to surpass himself than sell his goals and purpose for easy power.''
Slamming his right fist to his chest, Tsukasa then adds before mocking Dark Fourze. ''True men have bonds and those bonds will always break your limit! Someone like you will never reach any stars with your lackluster strength.''
''… You…'' Dark Fourze begins to utter, his right fist trembling before he yells out in demand. ''Who the hell are you?!''
Pulling out a Rider Card and tapping on it twice, Tsukasa answers proudly. ''Just a passing-through Kamen Rider. Remember it!'' He thrusts the card in.
''KAMEN RIDE!'' The Decadriver begins to announce.
Breathing deeply, Utahoshi walks forward beside Tsukasa; not going to run away and oppose this evil villain.
''My name…'' He begins to declare before he shouts, strapping on the Fourze Driver. ''Is Gentaro Utahoshi, and I will protect my friends!'' He flips the 4 Astro Switches each as it begins to announce. ''3! 2! 1!''
''Henshin!'' Both Tsukasa and Utahoshi shout as they begin to transform.
''DECADE!'' The Decadriver announces as Tsukasa becomes Decade once more while Utahoshi transforms into Fourze who proclaims with his fist up at his evil doppelganger. ''I am Kamen Rider Fourze! And I will beat you, for my friends!''
Actual Fourze snickers, nodding of approval.
Dark Fourze just laughs at this before he declares it serious. ''I can take both of you on!'' He soon charges at the two. ''As Dark Fourze, I can never-'' His words are cut off as Fourze delivers a solid punch across his helmet. Sparks fly out as Decade then kicks him across the gut followed by Fourze slamming another punch across his chest, sparks flying out.
He staggers back in pain, uttering in confusion. ''I-Impossible! This is not possible!''
''Wrong! These bonds of mine will let us take on the whole universe!'' A.R. Fourze declares proudly. Suddenly multiple Rider Cards shoot out from the Ride Booker that Decade catches and responds. ''Agreed.''
He thrusts one of the cards into his belt as he gets behind Fourze and pushes the levers of his belt forward.
''FINAL FORM RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade warns A.R. Fourze. ''This might tickle.''
Fourze tries to turn and about to ask what he means by that but Decade thrusts both his hands into his back. He gasps as his body glows and Fourze immediately transforms into a giant rocket-like gauntlet that Decade wears on his right arm; its engines igniting loudly and strongly. ''FOURZE!''
''He turned into a rocket!'' Natsumi utters out astonished. Dark Fourze doesn't care as he fires missiles that hit Decade only for him to launch upward, unscratched, as he flies at him with massive speed, ramming him with the rocket head. Fourze sees this and shouts at him. "TSUKASA, MAKE UP AN AWESOME RIDER ATTACK NAME!"
Decade does hear that and would be sweat dropping to hear such a stupid thing.
''DAMN IT!'' Dark Fourze screams out as Decade rams him up high into the sky so much so they break through Earth's Gravity and arrive to the depths of space. Decade takes a moment to look around, astonished as he's never been up here.
''So this is space?'' He proclaims, going to need to mark this off his list. Adjusting himself in this environment, Dark Fourze declares forming his own rocket arm. "I will not die here!"
"We both know you're done." Decade protests as he rockets forward. Dark Fourze lets out a battle cry as his rocket fires forward and the two clash, blasting around the cold space above the Earth. They dash around like lights in the sky, striking and clashing with each other but Decade is obviously faster, blitzing around Dark Fourze with ease. He then bashes a fist, sending him flying upward.
Seeing his chance, Decade proclaims as he dunks a card into his belt. ''It's space time, Gentaro!''
''FINAL ATTACK RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade flies upward with great speed right at Dark Fourze as he somersaults and shouts, performing a Rider Kick. ''RIDER FOURZE DRILL KICK!''
''FOURZE!'' The Decadriver finishes announcing as swirls of magenta colored energy wraps around Decade like a drill, spinning rapidly as he flies at top speed downward and kicks upon Dark Fourze's own Rider Kick. Both attacks collide, both trying to overpowered the other but Decade's energy drill grows larger and pierces right through him.
''T-THIS WASN'T SUPPOSED TO HAVE HAPPENED!'' Dark Fourze screams out as he explodes in bright light.
Everyone else looks up to see the wide explosion and Natsumi smiles, expressing happily. ''They did it!''
They see as Decade flies downward and lands back on the Earth as the rocket reverts back to Fourze. Squeezing his hands in surprise to confirm he's back, A.R. Fourze turns to face Decade and thanks him. ''Thank you.''
Decade just nods firmly. Soon Utahoshi's friends ran over to congratulate their friend.
Watching from afar, the Princess eyes this and just smirks before turning her back and walks away.
''Not bad, Decade.'' She begins to express, seeing why the Great Leader is this excited to face him. ''I see why Dark Decade sees you as a worthy opponent and a threat.'' She makes a firm glare, hating him but rather the Great Leader. ''Next time, I won't go easy on you.''
Tsukikage doesn't say a word, simply following her fatefully.
Walking away from the station, Tsukasa and the others bid their farewells to Utahoshi and the others.
''At least Gentaro learned something valuable to never forget.'' Dragonic proclaims with a big grin.
Tsukasa holds the photo he took on A.R. Gentaro and his friends with his father, showing that no one person can achieve a goal alone. Hopefully he'll amend his past sins and make it up as Fourze.
''…'' Tsukasa stares silent as he turns towards Gentaro, smiling. He scoffs as he admits to him. ''You weren't half bad.''
''I don't get the whole devil part but you're an awesome friend, Tsukasa!'' Gentaro expresses, still smiling as he raises his right fist to him. ''I'll fist pump you if you beat me.''
Tsukasa oddly smirks, expecting this would happen as he questions him. ''Is that not why you're here?''
Gentaro slowly frowns, not wanting to fight a friend but this is really important, saying. ''I would rather not, but I was told to do it anyway. Please, Tsukasa!''
Tsukasa eyes him, also not wanting to but guess he doesn't have a choice. He nods, accepting his challenge. "Fine with me, Mr. Sunshine."
Relocating away from the station, both Riders stare down at each other already transformed.
Natsumi watches as both Riders stare at each other, both already transformed. Decade stares quietly towards Fourze who's stretching his arms and legs. Snickering, Decade tells him pointing his finger at him. ''Try not to hold your punches, Sunshine Boy.''
''You bet I won't!'' Fourze responds energetically as he comes charging with a punch that Decade easily evades. Fourze still goes on the assault, swinging punches and some kicks but Decade just side steps around the attacks with ease not even breaking a sweat before he kicks Fourze once with a roundhouse that launches him through a tree.
Grunting, Fourze slides in an Astro Switch in the far right slot and flips it
''BEAT ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces as his right leg is coated in red energy before being covered in a small bulky speaker that immediately releases strong beat sounds. The sounds are extremely powerful, causing Decade to stagger and become dazed as well as everyone else but Dragonic.
''ABSOL!'' Layla barks in agony as well as Jigglypuff screaming, not a fan of this beat. ''JIGGLY!''
Seeing Decade unable to focus or think, Fourze slides in another Switch in the middle right slot.
''CHAIN ARRAY ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces as his right arm is coated in brown energy before being covered in a long chained weapon with a spike ball on the tip. He swings and thrusts it directly at him but Decade manages to slide a card in his belt before the sounds hit him, triggering it now.
''ATTACK RIDE! BARRIER!'' The Decadriver announces as a magenta colored barrier forms around him and protects him. This stuns Fourze as Decade, focusing his best, holds forward with the Ride Booker in gun form and fires a shot right at the right leg, destroying the stereo weapon. The beat stops with both Layla and Jiggly relaxing heavily.
Grunting, Fourze charges as he slides a Switch in the middle left slot.
''HAMMER ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces as his left arm is coated in light brown energy before being covered in a hammer-like weapon.
He swings both the hammer and chained weapons at Decade who just moves around the swings and then slashes both weapons with the Ride Booker sword form. He then slashes Fourze, pushing him backwards.
Grunting, Fourze doesn't have a choice but to step up his game. ''Let's try this one!'' He declares, sliding the yellow Switch on the far right slot of the driver.
''ELEK ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces an electric crackle, followed by high-energy techno music. Electricity flies and consumes Fourze, transforming his suit into a golden yellow, rubber-like version of his suit with blue colored eyes and wielding a conducting, electric sword.
Decade hums, finding that interesting as Fourze comes at him with a swing which Decade repels and blocks… only to get a jolt of electricity that shocks the magenta rider. Fourze snickers as he delivers extra swings across him, sparks flying out while shocking Decade before he's pushed back.
Gripping to hold himself together, Decade breathes as he analyzes. ''It electrifies me huh?'' He pulls out a Rider Card and dunks into his belt. "Then I'll try something more passionate."
''KAMEN RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade swipes the back of his sword before he transforms into… ''DEN-O!'' He now wields the DenGasher sword form. He twirls the weapon before he comes dashing at Fourze.
Fourze just swings his electricity sword while Decade-Den-O thrusts the DenGasher and then it fires the tip of its piece that slashes Fourze so hard it launches him backwards and crashes on the ground.
Grunting, Fourze gets up as he declares. ''How about this!'' He slides in a red Switch on the far right slot of the belt.
"FIRE ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces with dramatic music playing. Swirls of flames wrap around him, transforming his suit into a red armored form of Fourze with green colored eyes and wielding a large gun-bazooka weapon. He quickly proceeds to fire extinguishing white foam at Decade-Den-O who rolls away but suddenly he can't move due to the foam actually sticking him on the ground.
Fourze proceeds to shoot flames from his gun at Decade but he thrusts a card into his belt, pushing the levers.
''ATTACK RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as his body glows and he's able to break free from the foam and he rolls away, evading the flames. ''ILLUSION!'' 4 copies of regular Decade manifest around the original as they each thrust a card into their own belt.
''FORM RIDE!'' Each Decadriver announces as each copy changes into the other forms of Den-O. ''ROD FORM! AXE FORM! GUN FORM! WING FORM!''
''Oh what?!'' Fourze utters in shock as he's suddenly blasted by both Gun form and Wing form. Sparks fly out from the stun Fourze as Sword, Rod and Axe forms swings and strike Fourze so hard it slams him backwards and reverts him back to base.
''You done?'' Each of Decade-Den-Os all taunt the space rider as he stands right back up. Fourze chuckles, never facing such a foe like him before but it gives him that much of a reason to keep fighting.
''Not even close!'' Fourze declares as he holds up a large, light blue-silver Astro Switch, declaring proudly. ''This is my friendship!''
He thrusts the switch on the far right end slot of his belt. He then flips off the protection cover protecting the red button.
''COSMIC ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces, followed by bombastic space music, as swirls of cosmic energy shoots through him and he transforms into the light blue-silver, fully armored space Fourze form with all of the Switches within him and he now wields a rocket theme, club-like weapon.
''IT'S SPACE TIME!'' Crouching as he shoots his arms upward to the very skies, Fourze screams so loud that his voice reaches the ends of this universe.
Each Decade-Den-O coughs as they all charge forward. Fourze just blasts forward with his rocket weapon, slamming one right across Wing form so hard it dissolves the copy. Sword and Axe forms try to slash his sides but Fourze just rockets upward, missing the attacks as two Switches manifest on the slots of his belt.
''LAUNCHER ON! FREEZE ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces as both Fourze's legs have both containers and he fires a combination of freezing missiles, hitting both Gun and Rod forms and freezing them before they shatter into pieces.
''STAMPER ON! BEAT ON!'' The Fourze Drive now announces as Fourze dives downward and stomps his right foot, both legs now wearing different Switches, as he unleashes a powerful shockwave that blasts Axe form into nothing and blasts the real Decade-Den-O backwards. He manages to pull out a card and dunks it as he's aiming towards a giant rock wall.
''SUPER FORM RIDE! DEN-O CLIMAX FORM!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade transforms into Den-O's Climax Form and performs a thrusting kick that hits the wall but pounces forward towards Fourze. He wields the DenGasher, about to slash Fourze until he suddenly pulls down the lever of the rocket club, opening downward to reveal a blade-like sword within the split rocket shells. He swings with it, clashing against Decade-Den-O's attack and it slams him backwards hard, even knocking him out of his Super form.
Decade quickly gets up, panting as he wasn't expecting this but he is chuckling, enjoying himself.
''Fourze isn't holding his punches. So I won't either.'' He proclaims, pulling out the K-Touch and switches it with the Decadriver, placing the device on his right waist and the K-Touch in front.
"KUUGA, AGITO, RYUKI, FAIZ, BLADE, HIBIKI, KABUTO, DEN-O, KIVA!'' The K-Touch announces one by one of each main rider's names as their logos glow until they all flash, including the Decade one. Decade then presses on the F letter on the screen. ''FINAL KAMEN RIDE!''
Decade glows and fully transforms into his Completed form. ''DECADE! COMPLETE!''
Fourze actually gets excited with small chuckles, charging at him who evades his weapon swing by just moving to the side and then kicks Fourze away. He holds up a Rider Card and dunks it into his Decadriver, tapping on the device once.
''FINAL KAMEN RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade Complete transforms into Den-O's final form. ''DEN-O LINER FORM!'' He wields the DenKamen Sword as he dashes forward with great speed, blitzing through Fourze as sparks fly out of him.
''Woah! He's really fast!'' Fourze utters, manifesting both the Elec and Fire Switches and swings his sword, releasing a torrent of lightning and fire at Decade who just runs dashes right through the wave and slashes Fourze again. Sparks fly out of him as Decade declares firmly. ''Time to finish this.''
He pulls a Rider Card and tosses it upward, sliding into his Decadriver before he taps on it.
''FINAL ATTACK RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as a trail of train tracks manifests, swirling around Decade but also the whole area.
''Show me how powerful your friendship matches to my power.'' Decade declares, hopping on the closest track as he is riding on it; his feet as the train wheels. He moves around rapidly across the train tracks, hard to pinpoint.
Fourze nods as he pulls out the Cosmic Astro Switch and slides it in the bottom of the Barizun Sword.
''LIMIT BREAK!'' It announces as Fourze shouts, gripping the sword with both hands. ''Right!''
Breathing, Fourze shouts as he spins around, timing it until Decade is finally coming at him. ''RIDER SUPER GALACTIC FINISH!'' He performs a 360°-degree swing, releasing a blue energy slash at him.
''DEN-O!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade-Den-O is surrounded in energy, taking the shape of the DenLiner. Both attacks collided and created a powerful explosion. Natsumi and the others brace themselves. They watch as the explosion stops and reveal Decade Complete behind Fourze Cosmic States, both seemingly untouched.
''Haha…'' Fourze begins to say, never having a fight like this before. ''You're really strong, Tsu-'' He wasn't able to finish his words as Fourze suddenly dropped backwards, de-transformed and was beaten. Decade breathes as he reverts back to Tsukasa, looking down to his back at Gentaro chuckling weakly, beginning to become sparks of light as his body is fading away. He's died once but just like last time; he won't stay dead.
''Counting on you for the rest, friend!'' He asks Tsukasa with a final smile before his body becomes light and fades away.
Tsukasa looks at the ground with a somber face and proclaims, adjusting his vest. ''I will, Gentaro.''
Natsumi frowns, wondering how much more torment Tsukasa has to go through.
Walking back inside Hikari Studio, Dragonic begins to proudly declare. ''Congrats, Team De-'' His dragon jaw is immediately grabbed by Tsukasa who tells him firmly. ''Don't even finish it. Next world?''
Grunting, Dragonic nods. He releases him as the dragon adjusts his fedora, muttering out. ''Fine-fine.'' He flies to the backdrop of the room, adjusting the rope.
Natsumi sweat drops smiling, glad things at least ended nicer. She eyes Tsukasa, recalling that face he made and it makes her think; if there's an evil Tsukasa who is this Great Leader of Dai-Shocker… could that mean that girl who referred to herself as a Princess and even the sibling to the Great Leader- Oh, just the idea must be what Tsukasa felt.
''Tsukasa-kun, the one they called the Princess of Dai-Shocker…'' Natsumi begins to ask him, hesitating to go through with it since that topic is painful for him but she has to ask him. ''You don't think that was-''
''Yea, I'm sure.'' Interrupting her, Tsukasa openly admits with a scowl. He doesn't want to think about it but he knows it will become a problem if he doesn't accept it.
Breathing deeply, he eyes the group and reveals to them. ''That was the Negative World version of my little sister.''
This shocks Layla with Dragonic frowning, also figuring as much. Tsukasa looks outside through the window as they are now traveling through dimensions; knowing he will confront her again and he must be ready… to face her. ''Sayo…''
Author's Note: Time to clarify things:
1) This is now full on Fanfic territory, using elements from the Decade series from the TV Series, Movies and even Novels (which I already used so yea).
2) The A.R. World of Fourze is mainly composed of an article in Reddit on what if Tsukasa went to the A.R. Worlds of the Neo Heisei Riders. Of course, I used my own ideas too though this is why I wished Decade covered this somehow with a Manga. Oh man… that would have been awesome!
3) A.R. Gentaro is interesting being a combination of Gentaro and Kengo, a friendship born from space (in a way).
4) Speaking of. The hero of Amanogawa High School, the guy who will become your new friend; Gentaro Kusanagi! I like Gentaro, I mean who doesn't? The guy literally cries when he listens to a touching story and still has the manliness to fight anyone for the sake of his school and most of all his friends. LITERALLY, the power of friendship and cosmos! SIGH… not looking forward if we'll get a Fourze 10 Year Anniversary something. If it can be more like Fuuto Pi and not OOO's movie, then I'll be satisfied.
5) Dark Fourze, yes. Look, I like Fourze a lot (much like all of the Neo Heisei Riders… even… Ghost) but it shocks me Fourze doesn't get not even 1 Dark Rider. You would think this is simple since this Dark Rider would be the one person Gentaro couldn't turn into his friend much like the Hayami of his world but NOPE. Yes, I am aware of Kamen Rider Icarus but like it's a novel thing and from what I read in the Wiki, unimportant too. So here's some fan-made that could work in actually World of Fourze.
6) If the World of Negative is a world in reverse like the Dark Multiverse and Negative Tsukasa is the Great Leader of Dai-Shocker, then there should be a Sayo in this world too? And that's what I did, a Negative Sayo based on her canon version in the Decade Movie, All Riders vs Dai-Shocker. BASICALLY… Sayo was jealous of her brother that he was able to have his journey and she couldn't so with the A.R. Shadow Moon, she took his throne and became Princess of Dai-Shocker. In here, it's still the same but she's not in charge but plans to betray him because she fears and/or hates her Tsukasa. As for our Tsukasa… I won't say much. That will be for later.
A.R. World of Fourze was okay. The plot and the conclusion were decent! And of course setting up our mini-villains, the Generals of Dai-Shocker. They'll be the force Tsukasa and the others will deal with until we reach the final goal which is Dark Decade.
Anyway… in 2 weeks, we'll start Showtime with the A.R. World of Wizard. See you then!
