Ren and Shinji had fought many times, but never like this. Ryuki stood outside on the city streets. He heard Ren's footsteps behind as he took out a card.
"Sword Bento!" his visor said.
Ryuki caught his sword as he immediately charged forward. He wasn't going to wait for Knight to strike first. This time he would be the aggressor. The one that wanted to fight. He slashed forward as Knight sidestepped away poking him in the stomach. Shinji groaned as he got a grip.
Losing will mean not gaining respect.
He jumped forward tackling Knight ignoring the possibility of another sword attack. Knight pushed Ryuki off of him as he loaded in a card.
"Nasty Bento!" his visor said.
Darkwing flew forward screeching out sonic waves to stun Shinji, he withered as he struggled to grab another card.
"Freeze Bento!"
Darkwing was then frozen in place, Ryuki looked up as Knight was surprised.
"Where did you get that card?!" Knight asked.
Ryuki didn't care to answer as he punched Knight and then jumped forward with his sword, Knight then rolled out of the way as he then poked Ryuki again. He then jumped up leaping off of Ryuki's head to Darkwing. Ryuki saw as he had his back turned slashing at the ice trying to free Darkwing.
"Strike Bento!"
Ryuki then tossed a fireball forward, the resulting blast left behind an explosion. Darkwing soared above freed.
"Trick Bento!"
Next several Knight copies raced forward towards Ryuki as Ryuki put up another card.
"Gaurdo Bento!"
Ryuki held up the twin DragRedder shields as he tried to block the attacks. The Knights surrounded him as Ryuki crouched himself downward holding the shields above him. He then pushed himself upward knocking all of the Knights off of him.
"Sword Bento!"
The real Knight jumped forward towards Ryuki. He was holding a powerful lance. The resulting strike broke Ryuki's guard, Knight then slashed again sending Ryuki upwards into the air. Ryuki came downward with a kick towards him, which sent Knight flying in the other direction as Ryuki took out another card.
"Clear Bento!"
Ryuki dashed towards Knight and slid behind him ready to attack when Knight swung around and slashed him.
"Arghhh!" he said.
He fell on the ground as he could be seen now. He pulled out another card.
"Adobento!"
DragRedder flew spraying a stream of fire as Knight leaped over a car for cover.
"Adobento!"
Next Darkwing flew towards Ryuki hitting him like a batting ram, Ryuki clung on. Darkwing could not handle Ryuki's weight as the beast slowed down its speed. Ryuki sliced a lamp post and let go falling off of Darkwing. He quickly rolled away as the lamp post fell on top of Darkwing. He heard the running of footsteps behind him as Knight pushed him out of the way with DragRedder chasing behind. Ryuki took out another card. He watched as Knight tried to lift the lamppost off of Darkwing. They were using their combined strength, this made Ryuki hesitate.
I have to stop him from stopping me reaching my potential, but I won't lie, showing him how formidable I really am will be satisfying!
He slotted the card into his visor.
"Final Bento!"
Ryuki jumped up as Dragredder flew around him, just then Knight immediately lifted up the lamppost as he took out his own card. DragRedder shot forth a fireball that propelled Ryuki forward.
"Final Bento!"
Suddenly Knight jumped over Ryuki's head as he landed on the ground creating a crater. He looked up as he saw Knight and Darkwing's cone spiral fall down upon him.
KABOOM!
Ryuki was on his backside.
Tricked! Come on Shinji, get up.
"Stand down Kido, you're tired and beaten," Knight said.
An idea of his own popped into his head. He reached for his belt. The Survive card. Flames erupted around him as his visor transformed into the DragVisor Zwei.
"Survive!"
He slowly got himself up and waited for Ren to transform.
"Kido…" Knight said.
Ryuki stood waiting as he kept one of his hands close to his cards.
"Very well.." Ren said.
Ren pulled out his Survive card as the wings around extinguished the previous flames. However, the trademark sound of the Advent Card being pulled out was heard twice. One from Knight and the other from Ryuki.
"Survive!"
Ryuki held his own final card, as he turned it around to show Knight. He slotted it inside.
"Confine Bento!"
Suddenly Knight's Survive armor broke into mirror shards. He was left in a confused state, so Ryuki ran forward giving him a sideways kick. Knight flew out into a mirror as Ryuki followed. Both of them had disconnected their decks now as Shinji picked up Ren ready to punch him.
"Stop!" said a deep and familiar voice.
—
Nigo had encouraged Ichigo to seek out Knight and Ryuki. Ryuki had been acting strangely and Knight did not seem to trust his friend's abilities. It was strange to him. He trusted Nigo. He trusted the other riders that fought Shocker, but these Heisei Riders were different. Never the less he considered them heroes like himself, even if they sometimes only shared the name "Kamen Rider" in common.
I remember what it was like to be young. He thought.
He picked up Ren and Shinji with each arm and separated them.
"I can only guess what this is about," Hongo said.
"He doesn't believe in me! He never told me what happened..!" Shinji said.
"He's going to get himself killed. Kamen Rider help me restrain him." Ren said.
"No…" Hongo said looking at Ren.
"I've solved the case. I can find the Rider behind the attacks! I'm capable!" Shinji said.
Hongo sat Shinji down and put a hand on his shoulder, "Why do you think you can do it alone?" he asked.
"I just know I can especially with my new cards," Shinji said.
"New powers." Hongo said thinking back on the various powers of the Riders after him, "Go Ryuki."
"Go? He can't just go." Ren said.
"But Ryuki, promise me one thing," Hongo said.
"What..?" Shinji asked.
"When you need help call for us." Hongo.
"I promise," Shinji said.
He then ran off.
"If he dies, it's on my hands," Ren said.
"Then follow him. Respect your friend." Hongo said.
He then put Ren down as the Rider ran off towards Shinji.
Next time.. THE FINALE
