Chapter 10.5: World of Saving and 1 Life!
The battle between Brave and Diend is intensed as his summoned riders have overpowered the knight theme rider. The combination swings of Kaixa, Chalice and Gatack slash Brave upward in the air. Sliding a Rider Card into his gun, Diend takes aim as the summoned riders become energy rings, surrounding the aim of his weapon already charging up.
''FINAL ATTACK RIDE! DIEND!" The Diendriver announces as Diend fires a destructive Cyan blast. Brave tries to flip the lever of his belt but the beam consumes him too fast and explodes. Brave soon crashes onto the ground as the Game Driver falls off him as his transformation is canceled out.
Diend twirls his weapon as he walks up to the fallen Game Driver with the Gashat loaded in and he picks it up.
''It's been fun." He tells the injured human form of Brave, grunting as he tries to reach out but then falls unconscious as his body vanishes, exiting the world. Diend looks back at Decade fighting Genm and snickers as he vanishes.
The others in the real world watch this with Natsumii frowning at Daiki's actions.
''Daiki-kun…'' Natsumi mutters with a sadden voice, sometimes wondering why he's like that. If he and Tsukasa just fought together like Riders, then no one, not even Dark Decade, could beat them.
''My-my, that Daiki Kaito just don't care about anything but his treasures~.'' Kiva-la expresses with a coo. Sougo agrees with her as he looks back at the other fight.
Decade notices Diend vanishing as he evades swings of Genm and his half scythe-like blades, swinging them over and over as the magenta rider leaps backwards. He takes aim with the Ride Booker gun form and fires multiple shots that actually pierces through the Dark Rider. Genm stumbles once backwards but then snickers as his wounds regenerate.
As he expected, Decade confirms that Genm can heal any damage… probably.
Decade pulls out the K-Touch, planning to destroy Genm completely and he can do such a job. However, Genm charges at him only to get grabbed by the neck by the coil of Dragonic's tail, throwing him through 2 buildings.
''Tsukasa, time to get out." The dragon reminds him, pointing at the injured M. Decade scoffs, wanting to settle things but he's not wrong.
''Running away then." He responds as he picks up M and then he pulls out the Kamen Rider Chronicle Gashat, pressing its button and teleports the two out of the virtual world. Dragonic smirks as he places his index and middle right fingers over his forehead, right under his fedora, and he teleports away.
Letting out a furious shout, Genm emerges from the rubble of the walls he crashed through, so enraged. He looks around, seeing no one and it only makes him madder.
"Damn… Virtual World!" He lets out a howling cry before he calms down and snickers evilly. ''I will fix this…'' He soon teleports out of the world too.
Tsukasa suddenly materializes in the real world in the room he was in, breathing a bit drained, as does Game Master M, looking still injured from his beating. Natsumi is startled to see him appear out of nowhere but glad to see he's okay.
''Close call, Tsukasa-kun!'' Dragonic, suddenly reappearing, expresses with a grin. Tsukasa eyes him, confident he could have bested that Genm.
''W-what the hell just happened!" Tsukasa turns to M, breathing heavily. He was scared, shaken by the beating he received and the damage he took was all too frightening. ''That wasn't part of the game!"
Tsukasa snarls as he tells him off. ''Stop complaining. This isn't over yet."
Just as he said that, the television screen fizzles and suddenly changes into a live video with the Genm Corporation logo and a woman speaking. "We now bring a special broadcast by Genm Corporation's president."
The group turns as the image now changes into a man sitting on the president chair and Doctor Hojo staggers a bit, recognizing him.
"Hello, all customers of Kamen Rider Chronicle.'' The man, wearing a gray outfit, begins to speak with a confident smile. "As you are hearing this, you are already noticing I am not your old president. I am your GOD!" His smile becomes a twisted grin as his arms are lifted above his head. ''I, Kuroto Dan, am your new president and with my genius I will bring forth the true experience that Kamen Rider Chronicle deserves!"
Tsukasa glares, no doubt that this is Genm with his insane shift of personality.
"As you can, I have made Kamen Rider Chronicle no longer a virtual dump but truly appear into the world itself!" Kuroto announces across the world, his voice escalating with such enjoyment and insanity. "SO ENJOY YOURSELVES BECAUSE NOW ALL CONTINUES ARE LIMITLESS!"
Soon the video turns off, changing into a countdown timer of 24 hours of when his plan achieves.
''H-He's crazy.'' Natsumi utters in dismay in disbelief.
''And sadly he is for the good of reasons?'' Dragonic begins to say, not even sure himself if the god complex former CEO is fighting for himself or to help humanity. He's hoping for the latter as he explains who he is. ''This is no doubt this is the Kuroto Dan from the main Ex-Aid world. He's evil but good… though quite gray… and crazy but not exactly evil-evil.''
Doctor Hojo oddly cracks a smile but a bit as this isn't the time for that.
"Guess Dai-Shocker wanted him if they failed to find a suitable villain for this world.'' Sougo theorizes, certain that's the conclusion of the villains' plan.
Tsukasa is too distracted with what Kuroto wants and realizes it. ''I get the gist now. He intends to make everyone a Bugster."
"That makes them one to live forever?'' Natsumi then asks, really puzzled. Hojo eyes her and nods firmly, exactly that. "Somewhat but yes."
Tsukasa agrees as he pulls off his doctor lab coat and reveals he's now wearing his casual outfit. He then walks away as Sougo asks him. "Going to stop him now?"
''Yep.'' Tsukasa responds with a smirk, adjusting his vest. ''I got a date with a god. Can't just let him get away with this."
This causes Game Master M to panic, standing up and yelling in protest. "You're insane! You're going to die if you fight him!'' He begins dreading from his beating like a scared little boy that his favorite game has been tainted. ''This isn't part of the game. How can anyone who's a rider risk their life like that?!"
Tsukasa turns around with a glare, about to tell him off but Doctor Hojo beats him to it, shouting just as he grabs him by his collar necks. ''Because that's what a real game is supposed to be!"
M startles, looking at the doctor who tells him passionately yet annoyed at his cowardliness. "Everyone is either dying or about to lose their lives and he wants to stop that! A Kamen Rider is someone who fights for others just as much as a doctor fights for their patients!''
He glares at the coward, telling him firmly as he releases him. "Those who can't aren't worthy of such a title!"
This shocks the gamer rider, questioning him unease. "W-why the hell do you care? I'm just a gamer!''
"Yes, you are…'' The doctor agrees with him but then says strongly. ''But even a gamer knows we only get 1 life, 1 chance to do something worth it! Protecting that life is precious, something worth fighting for!"
"…'' M is silent, taken back by what he said. Sure, in a game, one can have any amount of lives but it becomes tense when you're down 1 life.
"He's not wrong.'' Tsukasa begins to say as he shows a face of no fear. ''I don't care if this is a game or not…" He looks back at Natsumi and smiles as he makes his own speech. "A Kamen Rider is the one who will charge head first into danger and protect that precious life. That is my game, my life."
''Tsukasa-kun." Natsumi utters with rosy cheeks. Tsukasa scoffs as he walks towards the door. She eyes the others and says, wanting to help him. ''Come on, we got to help him too!"
Sougo agrees with Layla barking. Tsukasa sighs, forced to stop and wait for them as they go together. Hojo smiles while M looks at them, reflecting on what they said. "Protect that precious life?"
Tsukasa and the group leave the room, noticing programmers and other workers just running for their lives by Bugsters coming down from the stairs. He scoffs, not surprised to see them in the real world no less here. It is rather new that he's where the villain is already. Refreshing.
"Tsukasa, I'll handle the Bugsters." Sougo declares, strapping on his Ziku Driver.
"Absol!" Layla barks, going to help out with Natsumi adding. ''Tsukasa-kun, kick that God complex guy's butt!''
''I intend to." Tsukasa responds with a smirk, running past them with Dragonic flying right behind them. As the others deal with the Bugsters, the two run upstairs and reach the President's office, kicking the doors open. Tsukasa walks in and sees that he's been waiting with Kuroto sitting on the old president's chair, staring at his new world.
''I was wondering if you would grace us with your presence, Kami-sama." Tsukasa speaks up in a mockery tone, even bowing to insult him. Frowning, Kuroto speaks up, not bothering to turn to face him. ''You dare mock me again, Decade!"
Tsukasa smirks again, questioning his knowledge about him. ''Oh? Who told you of me? Dai-Shocker? Must be.''
Kuroto now stands up from the chair, turning with a smirk as he declares with an ominous gaze. ''It's not important who told me since you'll be deleted!''
Tsukasa just smirks, strapping on the Decadriver and then taps on twice on his Rider Card with his middle finger before thrusting it into his belt.
"One question: Why spread the virus in the real world?" Tsukasa then asks this madman who snickers, amused by his question. "Simple: A God needs servants."
Tsukasa glares firmly, questioning him again. "And you think of yourself as a god? A real god doesn't jeopardize the lives of others."
"How wrong." Kuroto corrects him confidently. "A real god nurtures the world and its people. What I'm doing is advancing humanity to the next stage!"
Dragonic glares firmly, not surprised by such an answer. He's not like his father but still very much insane like him.
"Then I intent to slay this god before he harms anymore lives!" Tsukasa declares, sliding his Rider Card into his belt.
"KAMEN RIDE!" The Decadriver begins to announce as Tsukasa declares with a cocky voice. ''How does a God intend to delete someone if they're destroyed." He then gets serious. ''This is where your game ends. Henshin!" He swaps his hands over the levers of his belt, pushing them forward to activate his transformation.
''DECADE!" The Decadriver now announces as Tsukasa transforms into Decade, hand taunting his opponent to fight him.
Kuroto actually starts chuckling, strapping on the Game Driver.
"That's where we differ. I have no such thing as a Game Over!'' He announces, pulling out a large dark purple Gashat and presses its button as he holds it with both hands over his head. "A God always stands above all!"
"GOD MAXIMUM MIGHTY X!" The Gashat announces as Kuroto utters out with his eyes closed. "Grade 1 Billion…'' He soon opens them, glowing purple and thrusts it into his belt and then pulls on the lever of his belt. "Henshin!"
''MAXIMUM GASHAT!'' The Game Driver begins to announce as the top of the Gashat pops out, revealing the half top body of Genm. A screen pops out as Kuroto taps on it, overlapping him and transforms him immediately into Kamen Rider Genm. "IMMORTAL!"
"THE ULTIMATE GOD'S TALENT!" The Game Driver then begins chanting as above Genm manifests a massive black, purple body armor that has Genm's visor eyes. "KUROTO DAN! KUROTO DAN!'' He then slams his fist onto the top of the Gashat, closing it before leaping upward and the body armor opens up and he goes inside. Soon arms and legs extend out of the chest armor and soon Genm's head pops out, taking on a powerful pose before he lands on the ground with a powerful, energy wave, actually pushing back the others but Decade. The body armor is identical to Genm with black, upward bladed shoulder pads. "GOD MAXIMUM~X~!''
Decade startles, taking on a fighting pose that even though this looks ridiculous; he can feel this thing is powerful. Immediately, Genm dashes forward so fast he bashes Decade right through the building. He comes flying outside but Dragonic catches him by the back, setting him down. Natsumi sees this in shock as Genm crashes out of nowhere in front of Decade and the dragon.
''HE'S A MECHA RIDER?!" Natsumi freaks out heavily as does Layla, barking in shock. Sougo, now Zi-O, is too focused on the monsters as he blasts one of them.
''Tsukasa-kun, careful for once!" Dragonic warns him with Decade grunts, nodding. He pulls out the Ride Booker and thrusts a Final Attack Ride card into his belt, going to finish this now.
''FINAL ATTACK RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade takes aim as multiple holographic card screens form in a row, pointing towards Genm and fires it. ''DECADE!'' He fires a blast that goes through each of the holographic cards, becoming stronger and stronger till it consumes Genm within seconds and explodes on impact.
Decade watches, pretty sure that-
''That tickles!'' Decade startles as walking out from the smoke of his attack is Genm, undamaged and worst brushing off the dust of the explosion off him. He then raises his right fist and it shoots out, extending like a jack-in-the-box. Decade barely dodges it as Genm suddenly appears on his side and delivers a kick so hard it sends Decade flying into the top of the building like a soccer ball.
Decade grunts, pulling himself up and leaps down from the hole he crashed in, landing on his feet. He then charges at Genm, flipping his Ride Booker into sword form as he dunks a card into his belt.
"ATTACK RIDE! SLASH!" The Decadriver announces as Decade swings his sword, releasing magenta energy slashes. However, Genm presses the hostler button of his belt as it announces. "SWORD CHAMPIONS!"
A blade weapon resembling a dark, red and purple version of the Gashacon Key Slasher manifests in Genm's right hand and proceeds to swing forward, reflecting and repelling each of Decade's sword swings with ease before slashing him with unseen movement, striking Decade backwards.
''What?" Decade utters in confusion as he stands up grunting. He thrusts a card into his belt and pushes one of his levers while flipping his sword into gun form.
"ATTACK RIDE! BLAST!" The Decadriver announces as he takes aim and fires multiple energy shots. However, Genm presses the same button as the Game Driver announces. "WILD WEST SHOOTERS!"
A gun weapon resembling a dark, red and purple version of the Gashacon Parabragun manifests in Genm's left hand and raises it, firing dark purple shots in rapid fire succession. Each shot counters each of Decade's rapid shots and even shoots Decade directly, blasting him backwards again.
Decade is pushed backwards, grunting as he thrusts a card into his belt.
"KAMEN RIDE! FAIZ!" The Decadriver announces as he becomes Faiz, now wielding the Faiz Phone gun and uses both guns to fire powerful energy beams at Genm who blocks the beams with his forearms, pushing him backwards. He bashes through the beams and then presses the same holster button as the belt announces. ''STAR GAZER!"
Genm manifests projectile-like funnels, each one resembling the face of Genm as they fire powerful red beams of energy at Decade. The magenta rider tries evading the beams, even firing at them but the beams pierces through them and hits Decade with such force it blasts him into the air. He grunts, dunking a card into his belt as they fire again.
"SUPER FORM RIDE! BLADE JACK!" The Decadriver announces just as the beams fire but Decade twirls around, transforming into Blade's super form and flies upward. He's able to evade the beams with ease but also flies downward and slashes them too.
Genm scoffs as he presses the button of his driver, announcing. "SKY JETS!" Genm leaps upward and starts flying right at Decade-Blade so fast he's already behind him as he slams his fist onto his back and slams him downward and crashes into the ground.
''MORON! As the ultimate Game Master, I can create any game and grant me its powers and abilities!" Genm proclaims proudly, fully aware nothing he has can hurt him or hope to oppose him. ''All you do will be useless! Absolutely useless!''
''… How about this one?" Genm hums, overhearing Decade's voice as the voice of the Decadriver down below begins to announce. ''KAMEN RIDE!'' A glow shines from the hole he crashed in as something grows and expands as he becomes… ''J!''
''TSUKASA-KUN IS MASSIVE!'' Natsumi yells out loud, freaking out alongside Layla and Jigglypuff. Kivala giggles, uttering with a cooing voice. "My, I need to give him a bigger mooch~.''
Genm looks down at this and snickers, pressing the button on the holster-like button switch of his Game Driver.
"KAIJU WARS!" The Game Driver announces as the environment changes into a towering large city while Genm's size multiplies and expands, becoming a giant now as he lands in front of Decade.
Decade growls as he comes punching, actually damaging Genm but he pushes forward and delivers his own punches followed by kicks until Decade catches it. He starts spinning him around, slamming him onto the fake large buildings before tossing him upward to the sky. However, Genm shoots out of the robot armor suit, landing on the ground as the Maximum Mighty Gamer somersaults and lands beside it.
"Now how about 2vs1?" Genm proclaims as he comes charging as does his robot, both outnumbering Decade with strong punches that the robot uppercuts Decade-J into the air as Genm hops and jumps off it, doing an ax-kick that crashes the rider into the ground followed by Maximum Mighty Gamer firing eye beams from its chest on the grounded Decade, blasting and exploding him.
Decade yells in pain as he's blown away while reverted back to normal. He grunts as the area changes back as does Genm who lands inside his robot, reverted back to their normal size.
"If you're out of steam already…" Genm begins to say as he comes charging, going to break him. "THEN DIE!"
Decade barely has time to stand up as Genm is about to kick him until Dragonic suddenly intercepts as he swings his long purple tail to wrap around his leg, swinging him around before crashing him onto the ground.
Growling enraged by that, Genm gets up furiously as he extends a fist at him but Dragonic stretches his right claw, engulfed in fiery purple-like energy and shouts swinging it. "DRAGONAUN CLAW!"
His glowing, fiery claw expands and grows into a giant, fiery energy dragon claw that bashes Genm's punch right back and then slams the armored rider through a wall while engulfed in flames. The dragon flies back to Decade, pulling him up his feet with his small, thin tiny arms yet strong body.
"Dragonic?" Decade utters surprised with the dragon telling him firmly. "Tsukasa, I've seen enough. Let me back you up."
He turns back as Genm is slowly emerging out from the hole he crashed in. Growling, Dragonic advises him seriously. "Go Decade Complete!''
"My thoughts exactly.'' Decade agrees, pulling out the K-Touch and switches it with the Decadriver as he activates it
"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 wipes his hands as he begins to transform and becomes his final form. ''DECADE! COMPLETE!'' Waves of magenta color energy overflow Decade Complete as the bug visors of his mask glows.
Genm just laughs at this, mocking the magenta rider. "Hahaha! It doesn't matter what form you use; I am the Ultimate God!"
Snickering at his declaration, both Decade and Dragonic, smirking, respond strongly. "Then we're the Ultimate Team!"
Decade Complete charges in first with Dragonic right behind him. Genm comes charging too, swinging a purple energy powered fist at Decade who dodges to the right but Genm is about to bash that same swinging arm but then he's engulfed in flames by Dragonic's mouth blast. He staggers but brushes off the flames, shooting his extended arms at them but the two kick the fists and then they dash, slamming their fists across his face so hard it sends him crashing backwards.
Genm staggers back as he's kicked by Decade to the right and then Dragonic tail whips him across the face and bashes him away hard as he shouts. "DRAGONAUN WHIP!" The tail is coated in purple flames that hit and explodes upon Genm while Decade fires a concentrated energy shot from the Ride Booker in its sword form but wielding it like some kind of rifle-like weapon, firing a magenta energy blast that hits him through a building.
Natsumi watches in awe, rarely seeing Tsukasa and Dragonic fighting together. She smiles, happy to see this.
Enraged, Genm shoots out of the hole, engulfed in dark energy. ''THAT'S IT!'' He taps on the button of his driver, announcing. "DRACO MADNESS!" Multiple ghostly energy dragons manifest and all charge at the two however Dragonic flies at each one of them and literally absorbs all of them.
"What?!" Genm utters in terror. Decade hums, not aware he could do that but liking this.
"Want to try that again?" Dragonic taunts him with a smug smirk.
"Err…!" Genm growls as he's about to change game until Dragonic summons black and white energy chains, wrapping them around his arms to suppress him.
"Let's finish this, Tsukasa!" Dragonic declares with Decade nodding, pulling out a Rider Card. Refusing to lose, Genm shatters free and pulls and pushes the lever of his belt.
"FINISHER!" The Game Driver announces as Decade dunks his card into his belt with the Decadriver announcing. "FINAL ATTACK RIDE!"
Both riders then jump upward, somersaulting and performing a Rider Kick.
"GOD MAXIMUM CRITICAL BLESSING!" The Game Driver announces as Genm's kick is engulfed in purple energy while Decade leaps through multiple holographic cards. "DECADE!"
Dragonic then flies up to Decade, somersaulting as he shouts, taking on his own kick as his body is engulfed in an energy dragon's head. "DRAGONAUN IMPACT!"
The two clash kicks against Genm, clashing magenta and purple versus dark purple energies. Decade and Dragonic grunt heavily, pushing forward with all of their power while Genm does the same but it's too much as the two combine their powers and kicks through Genm. He soon yells as he explodes in magenta and purple energy explosions.
"They got him!" Natsumi expresses joyfully as the two land on the ground but Decade drops to a knee and detransforms. Genm, however, crashes onto the ground and also de-transforms with the Maximum God Mighty Gashat destroyed.
"Impossible…" Kuroto utters in defeat, marks of damage on his clothes and face as he tries to stand up weakly, Tsukasa begins to say. "You realize it, have you?" He looks and widens his eyes as Tsukasa does a hand salute point at him. "You can't win, even in your own game."
This brings such dread to the game master before he slowly becomes enraged, disgusted and filled with hate.
"Bastard!" Standing up fully with such pain that it means nothing to him. "No one and I mean no one…" He stops his right foot forward as he loses his calmness into a man of fury and insanity. "TELLS ME THIS IS OVER! I have no such things as GAME OVERS and no one decides it for me!"
He soon pulls out a strange dark purple Gashat with a rectangle-like plate on the top as he presses its button. "MUSOU GAMER!"
Dragonic immediately panics heavily, shocked that this Genm is from a world that has access to that form!
"This is bad!" He yells, trying to fly at him but Genm immediately shouts, thrusting the strange Gashat into his belt. "HEN-'' However, her words are cut off as drops his Gashat. He begins gasping in pain, purple data forming across his body.
"GHAAWWW!" He screams in agony, his body getting infected out of nowhere.
"That's quite enough." Tsukasa turns, recognizing that voice and it is Apollogeist, walking from the side with his hands behind his back.
"Apollogeist, figures as much." He says, figuring he would be behind this world's problem.
Kuroto hisses furiously, gazing towards Apollogeist, gripping on his chest as he tells him angrily. "W-what the hell are you doing? I can still-''
"Oh I'm aware you can.'' Apollogeist speaks up as he gazes towards that drop Gashat. "With that however, you would become a threat to Dai-Shocker. Can't have that." So he had a counter-plan, pre-planting a unique Bugster virus that will activate by his command. "Instead, I will transform you into a Shocker Gamedeus. With that you will become a tool."
Widening his eyes at such foolishness he's done to him, Kuroto struggles to pull himself up as he yells out like a madman. "BASTARD!"
The virus then fully consumes him and transforms him into a black version of Gamedeus, the ultimate Bugster, with golden trimming and lining. Tsukasa glares concerned as Apollogeist orders the monster. "And now to get rid of you, Decade. Infect everything!"
Growling like an enslaved being, the transformed Gamedeus suddenly charges at Tsukasa but Dragonic intercepts with claw swipes. Sparks fly out but the God Bugster regenerates any damage before summoning geysers of flames, nearly consuming the two if they don't dodge as the monster attacks civilians.
Game Master M watches from the corner of a wall, hiding, as he stares at the fight with fear. He doesn't understand why he bothered trying to find them but both that doctor and Tsukasa's words got to him. And yet he can't help but want to run away either.
He watches as Gamedeus fires dark beams at people, infecting them and turning them into Bugsters.
"This isn't a game…" M begins to say, hating what he's staring at and his fists clenched.
Tsukasa tries to transform but Apollogeist intercepts him while Dragonic is forced to protect Natsumi and the others from the Bugsters trying to infect them.
''Good-good! Now infect Decade and grant victory to Dai-Shocker!'' Apollogeist commands as Gamedeus takes aim with its claw at Tsukasa. He glares, trying to plan out what he can do until a voice shouts out. "STOP IT!"
Gamedeus stops as Tsukasa says with a tone of relief. ''About time you step up.''
"Oh? A weakling protecting a weakling huh? How fitting.'' Apollogeist proclaims with his arms crossed. M gets mad, clenching his fists again before he finally speaks up angrily. "… A weakling is better than a coward!"
Smirking by his response; Tsukasa stands up, adjusting vest as he proclaims in one of his speeches. "Exactly. We're all weak at first but we level up and grow stronger through connections and our actions. No matter how bleak and hard the world becomes; we choose to jump into that harsh world and overcome it!"
He then points his right index finger at the two monsters, then declaring. "Doctors, gamers and even Riders; we choose to overcome those odds because that is who we are! Those who take the easy path or the so-called godly path…'' He proceeds to mock the two. ''Are the true weaklings."
Apollogeist just snarls, not bother by such-
"BASTARD!" Apollogeist startles as he turns and Gamedeus begins showing emotion or rather the soul of Kuroto Dan emerges out and he's furious, insulted by such lies.
"He broke through the brainwashing?!" Apollogeist utters in shock as Gamedeus smacks him aside and then demands, pointing his sharp finger at Tsukasa and demands enraged and loudly. "WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE?!"
Tsukasa smirks as he declares with a finger point salute. "A passing-through Kamen Rider! Remember that!"
Kuroto-Gamedeus loses his emotions, going to kill him until a voice speaks up. "Even you have to admit he's right after all you've gone through, with your mother's loss and your hatred towards Cronus…" Gasping to hear his voice, he turns as it's Doctor Hojo, staring down at him strongly. "Genm!"
The monster breathes with deep hisses before he starts laughing.
"I should have known it was you…" He begins to say before he yells out like a proud psychopath. "EMU HOJO!"
The other Emu startles with Tsukasa smirking, figuring as much as he says. "So you're the real Ex-Aid. Makes sense."
The doctor turns to face him and tells him with a small smile. "I wanted to wait for a big hero surprise." He pulls out a Game Driver and straps it on. "But this works too."
Gamedeus laughs as he's about to attack him but Dragonic appears in front of him and slaps his tail hard across his face, launching him away.
Emu sighs, glad he did that as he eyes Apollogeist and the infected people turned Bugsters.
"I'll save everyone here but please don't kill Kuroto. He's evil but-'' He pleads to Tsukasa to not kill him. Tsukasa doesn't answer at first, thinking calmly before he answers him, promising. "Fine, I'll try not to."
Emu smiles, happy to hear it as he pulls out a large gray Gashat similar to the God Maximum Mighty one and presses it. "MAXIMUM ACTION X!"
"I'll handle these guys. Counting on both of you." He tells Tsukasa and his A.R version as he performs an arm swinging to the left in a dramatic motion before he shouts. "Max Dai Henshin!" He thrusts and dunks the Gashat into the slot of the driver. "MAXIMUM GASHAT!" He then pulls the lever of the belt.
"GACHAN! LEVEL MAX!" The Game Driver announces as a holographic screen of Maximum Action X forms behind him as Emu suddenly transforms into Ex-Aid.
"THE MOST POWERFUL BODY! DARIRAGAN! DAGOZUBAN!'' The Game Driver begins chanting as above Ex-Aid is a massive body armor, a lighter version than Genm's but it has Ex-Aid's visor eyes instead. He then slams his fist onto the top of the Gashat, closing it before leaping upward and the body armor opens up and he goes inside. Soon arms and legs extend out of the chest armor and soon Ex-Aid's head pops out, taking on a powerful pose before he lands on the ground with a powerful THUD. The body armor is identical to Ex-Aid with golden, upward bladed shoulder pads. "MAXIMUM POWER~X~!"
Tsukasa whistles as he leaves it to him as he and M run off to engage Gamedeus. Apollogeist growls as he just charges at Ex-Aid, going to deal with him first until he's suddenly punched by the same rider so fast for wearing something so large and heavy. He's sent flying backwards, grunting by the blow.
The Bugsters come charging at Ex-Aid who simply slams his fist once and releases a powerful shockwave that blows them upward with such force. Apollogeist gets up, growling as he yells out. ''Damn pest!" He comes swinging his sword, connecting and sparks flying out from Ex-Aid but he just withstands the strikes with little to no recoil. He then summons the Gashacon Key Slasher and presses its trigger.
"ZU-KYU-KYU-KYUUU!" The Gashacon Key Slasher announces as Ex-Aid swings the sword around, slashing through Apollogeist and then strikes his gut and then his chest, slamming him backwards but still holding his ground.
Ex-Aid then pulls out the Maximum Mighty X Gashat from his belt and thrusts it into the slot of the sword.
"MAXIMUM GASHAT!" The Gashacon Key Slasher announces as Ex-Aid presses the trigger on his sword. ''FINISHER!" He raises his sword and takes aim, swirls of color energies, mainly pink, forms around the blade. "MAXIMUM MIGHTY CRITICAL FINISH!"
Ex-Aid immediately swings the Gashacon Key Slasher in a 360°-degree spin and unleashes a pink energy wave that hits everything. All the Bugsters scream as they're all purified and back to normal people while Apollogeist is blown away, screaming as he's sent flying to the sky. Soon the "Game Clear" pops out behind Ex-Aid who twirls and performs his 90° -degree, L shaped hand gesture as he declares. "Game Clear!"
''Awesome…" Natsumi mutters astonished with Layla and Jigglypuff nodding. Zi-O doesn't say a word, turning as one more fight is left.
Tsukasa and M catch up to Dragonic, pushing Gamedeus to a spot where no one else will get hurt.
''Tsukasa-kun, you two got this?'' The dragon asks the two riders, turning to face them. Tsukasa just smirks as he pulls and thrusts a Rider Card into the Decadriver already around his waist. Dragonic smirks as he flies up to leave this to them.
"KAMEN RIDE!" The Decadriver announces as Tsukasa asks the Game Master. ''Ready, Douchebag M?"
"It's Emu!" He corrects him, admitting his real name. Tsukasa actually likes that, admitting to him. "Good. Hate your gamer name."
Emu actually laughs a bit before he pulls out the Mighty Action X Gashat and presses its button and dunks it into his Game Driver. "GACHAN!"
"Henshin! / Dai Henshin!" Both Riders shout as Tsukasa pushes the levers of his belt forward while Emu pulls his lever.
"LEVEL UP!" The Game Driver announces as multiple screens rotate around him and Emu taps on the screen of Ex-Aid. His body glows as the driver chants excitedly. "MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY-MIGHTY ACTION KICK!" He soon transforms into Ex-Aid.
''DECADE!" The Decadriver announces as Tsukasa becomes Decade, wiping his hands together.
Laughing at this, Kuroto-Gamedeus declares with excitement. "BRING IT!" He comes charging as both riders do the same and they clash fists. Sparks fly out as Decade kicks the God Bugster back and Ex-Aid leaps forward, performing multiple hop kicks, damaging the monster before he kicks him hard across the face and pushes him backwards.
Taking the blow, Kuroto-Gamedeus just laughs as he expresses some joy. "NOW YOU'RE STARTING TO FIGHT LIKE THE REAL EX-AID!" He fires beams that Ex-Aid repels by manifesting his hammer weapon and reflects them.
"Maybe…" Ex-Aid begins to say, recalling what Tsukasa and the others began to tell him and how he wants to be better than that. "I'm just a gamer but I became the best to show everyone they can be like me too. What kind of example would I be if I can't even protect them or fight someone like you!''
He tosses his weapon aside, placing his right hand over his chest and declares with determination in his voice. "That is what a gamer, no, a Kamen Rider would do! To never be afraid and keep on fighting with no continues!"
Just then multiple cards fly out from the Ride Booker that Decade easily catches them.
"Not disagreeing on that." Decade proclaims as he grabs one of the Rider Cards and dunks it into his belt.
"FINAL FORM RIDE!" The Decadriver announces as he gets behind Ex-Aid and warns him. "This might tickle."
"Huh?" Ex-Aid utters puzzled until Decade shoves his bands into his back.
Ex-Aid then gasps as his body glows and folds as well as expands. His body becomes more like the Maximum Gamer robot but with magenta-black additional colors from Decade. Decade leaps upward as the robot opens up and he goes inside and then a pair of armored extending legs and arms as lastly Decade's head pops out on top of the robot as it gains magenta sharp shoulder pads. "EX-AID!"
Kuroto-Gamedeus just roars, unleashing multiple Bugster attacks like lava geyser, sonic blasts, energy waves; everything to destroy him but Decade in his mecha armor just walks over, tanking all of the attacks with ease. He then charges and performs a powerful uppercut, launching Gamedeus into the air as multiple sparks fly out all over him. He stops himself, floating in the air as he gasps in pain.
"I-I WILL NOT LOSE! KAMI NEVER LOSES!" Kuroto-Gamedeus roars only for Decade to leap with such force that he hits the monster back into the ground. This time, the God Bugster lands on his feet, still taking heavy damage but will not lose as he charges up energy from his whole body.
"Hate to tell you this..." Decade begins to say in the air as he dunks a Rider Card into his belt. "But it's Game Over."
"FINAL ATTACK RIDE!" The Decadriver begins to announce as Decade performs a rider kick; his foot is engulfed in pink-magenta sparkling energy before he kicks right through Kuroto/Gamedeus's body energy attack and hits him directly. "EX-AID!''
"GAAAWWW!" The monster screams in agony before his body glows and explodes in a violent blast. Decade lands on the ground, glowing as he reverts back to normal as does Emu who drops face first to the ground, grunting as the form feels so weird. Tsukasa smirks as he pulls him up, at the least it's-
"N-Not yet!" Tsukasa widens his eyes, dropping Emu who panics as he turns around. Pulling himself up from the explosion he withstood, Kuroto stands back up, heavily damaged but freed of the virus.
"He just doesn't quit.'' Dragonic mutters, descending next to him with a smirk. Tsukasa nods and immediately notices that Kuroto's body is cracking across his body.
"Sadly he's at his limit now." The dragon then says with a frown, confirming his Bugster body is failing him.
Kuroto breathes with deep hisses, trying to walk forward but struggles. He holds up the dark Mighty Action X Gashat, going to keep fighting until a voice shouts out at him. "That's enough, Kuroto!''
He staggers, turning his eyes as Emu runs over with the others. Kuroto eyes him and slowly starts letting out small chuckles. "Hehehe…'' He tries to laugh more but gasps in agony, dropping on one knee as his body cracks more. Emu immediately runs up to him, even kneeling down with one hand over his shoulder.
"So, this is how a God dies?" Kuroto questions, still grinning as his body is finally failing him. He looks up with almost disgust at the foolish doctor, looking down at him with saddened eyes. ''And worse, I have to look at you, of all people."
Regardless, he does… appreciate his company. Reaching and grabbing him by his collar neck, Kuroto begins begging to him. "Emu… Promise me…" His grip loosing up by his strength fading away as he even tries his best to not express sadness or shed a tear for his likely death; he begs him more. "I won't be forgotten! PROMISE ME!''
"… I promise." Emu ultimately tells him, knowing him better than anyone. Kuroto just smiles, a gentle one before his body finally breaks apart and he shatters into sparks of light. Emu just frowns, looking away, almost feeling this as a loss. Even though he was evil for his own believes; he was still someone who helped him.
Natsumi frowns, oddly saddened by this. He was the bad guy yet he didn't want to die; he wanted to live on.
"When we stop Dark Decade, all the damage he's done will be reversed." Sougo suddenly utters out firmly to Natsumi's surprise. She stares at him as he looks almost scary for a moment. Though, how would he know things would return back to the way they were?
Workers soon return to Genm Corporation, all not sure what to do since their president is gone or what to do with their game after these events.
Tsukasa sees this as he asks M. "So what now, Douche- I mean, Emu."
Emu isn't sure but he does know this: He wants everyone to start playing again and enjoy themselves. Smiling, he answers him confidently. "Make sure people enjoy Kamen Rider Chronicle again!"
He steps up, telling the workers he'll gladly help them to restore Kamen Rider Chronicle but make it even better than the original. They oddly smile, trusting in him.
Tsukasa just smirks as he and the others walk away, almost like he has nothing to worry about. He does take a picture of Emu leading the workers with a smile across his face; that people can become better.
Stretching her arms with a big smile, Natsumi proclaims joyfully. ''Another world saved!" She then eyes Tsukasa and asks him. "I'm just surprised you spared that crazy guy in his last moment?"
"True. Kuroto is a threat, Tsukasa-san. Why did you spare him?" Sougo agrees with her as he asks him too. Tsukasa doesn't answer them, stopping on his tracks. He looks at them and finally answers them honestly. "… I'm a destroyer and I will use evil ways to get results, but I'm not a servant of evil. If you ask, I'll try.''
Natsumi oddly smiles warmly, recalling all the times she asked him to do the right thing as a Rider and he did so out of obligation but this time he's doing it because he knows it's right. It proves that all the time Narutaki proclaims that Tsukasa is evil and he only causes destruction and now Tsukasa proves him even more wrong.
"You've changed a lot, Tsukasa-kun." She expresses it with a soft, happy smile. Tsukasa narrows his eyes, trying to not show some sense of softness before he responds. "… Probably not."
"Absol!" Layla barks in protest, able to see he's become kinder. This gets to Tsukasa's coolness, telling the Pokémon off. "No one asked you, mutt."
Growling by that name she hates, Layla pounces and bites deep into Tsukasa's leg, causing him to scream out in such pain. "AW! GOD DAMN IT LAYLA!''
Jigglypuff groans with a sense of fear while Natsumi sweat drops; some things don't change.
Tsukasa finally manages to pull Layla off him, complaining even more annoyed. "Damn it Layla! Can't even joke around with-'' He tries to check his leg only for Emu to suddenly appear, kneeling down and checking on it by pulling up his pants' leg.
"Let's see here." The doctor says, checking on his bitten leg. He hums as he applies a cream to heal the bitten and then lowers the leg pants down. "You should be good!" He says with a smile.
"… You really are a doctor first before a gamer and then Rider." Tsukasa proclaims, sweat dropping by his attitude. Emu just smiles, nodding. "Can't help it, I'm happy being a doctor."
He nods, checking his leg and it feels better. Tsukasa then looks at the doctor, standing up fully, before he questions him. "So you're here to fight me now."
Emu sighs, wishing he could avoid it as much as Natsumi also wants to avoid it as he says. "As a doctor, I shouldn't hurt others." He then becomes serious, informing Tsukasa. "But Dark Decade is harming too many worlds, including mines."
Tsukasa glares, figuring that's what he's doing from what he learned from the past riders. Emu is just as worried that if Parado is destroyed; he loses access to use the Game Driver to transform. That and he doesn't want to lose him or any more of his friends either.
"I don't know how long I can last as Ex-Aid but if I fight you, it will at least give you the edge to stop him." Emu proclaims, wanting to go through the risk if it means Decade will win.
"…'' Tsukasa stares at him, not planning to disappoint his request. "I accept.'' But he does ask him with a small smirk. "But fight me, both a gamer and a Rider, Game Master M."
Oddly smirking as he straps on the Game Driver, Emu responds in kind. "I plan to!" He pulls out his pink Gashat and presses its button. "MIGHTY ACTION X!" He then dunks it into his belt. "GASHAT!"
Tsukasa nods as he straps on his Decadriver and taps on his Rider Card, dunking it in as the belt announces. "KAMEN RIDE!"
"Henshin!'' Tsukasa shouts, pushing the levers of his belt forward while Emu shouts, pulling the lever of his belt. ''Dai Henshin!"
"DECADE!" The Decadriver announces as Tsukasa transforms into Decade.
"GACHAN! LEVEL UP!" The Game Driver announces as a panel of different screens surrounds Emu and he taps on the correct one. His body glows pink as the belt chants excitedly. "MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY-MIGHTY ACTION KICK!" His body soon transforms into Ex-Aid, taking on his standard battle pose before doing his signature, finger snapping hand gesture. "I'll clear this with no continues!"
Ex-Aid leaps forward as blocks form above Decade. He leaps and jumps on them, boosting his height and speed before he comes down with an ax-kick that Decade rolls away. However, Ex-Aid uses the soles of his feet to bounce upward towards Decade and kick him again. It connects as sparks fly out as Decade is launched into the air and Ex-Aid then dashes, kicking him again only to bounce off him with such speed to another direction and comes back at Decade with another kick like a ping-pong or handball. He continues doing this over and over and over, not slowing down in the slightest until he delivers a strong roundhouse kick that Decade catches and he begins to spin his body before throwing him into the ground.
Decade lands on the ground, pulling out a Rider Card and dunks it into his belt.
"ATTACK RIDE! INVISIBLE!" The Decadriver announces as Decade turns invisible. Ex-Aid gets up only to get punched and then kicked by the invisible Decade. He tries to leap only for Decade to shoot him with the Ride Booker gun form. Ex-Aid falls hard as the invisible Decade flips the weapon to sword form and slashes down upon Ex-Aid over and over before he's thrust away with ease.
Grunting, Ex-Aid pulls himself up in pain. Decade is no pushover. He reaches and pulls out a large orange-blue colored Gashat. He stares at it, beginning to mutter. "Parado…'' Thinking of his other half, the part who enjoys games; Ex-Aid quickly presses on the button as he slides it into his belt. "Even apart, lend me your strength!"
"MIGHTY BROTHERS XX!" The Game Driver begins to announce as Ex-Aid does a pose and shouts as a holograph screen manifests in front of him. "Dai Henshin!'' He pulls on the lever of his belt as it glows. "GACHAN! DOUBLE UP!"
The holographic screen overlaps over Ex-Aid, causing his body to glow blue on the left side and orange on the right.
"I AM YOU! YOU ARE ME!" The Game Driver chants as Ex-Aid splits and transforms into two identical but different colored riders, each having one half of a large face as large shoulder pads, taking on an action ready pose. "WE ARE MIGHTY-MIGHTY BROTHERS XX!"
Natsumi gasps loudly before she shouts out. "There's two Ex-Aids now!'' Dragonic nods, smirking as this is a good idea.
Both Ex-Aids look around each other's backs, being cautious and then the orange Ex-Aid moves and swings an orange energy punch right at the invisible Decade, hitting him and stunning him. The blue Ex-Aid then leaps over the orange one's shoulder and delivers his own kick, engulfed blue energy and lands a powerful strike that explodes upon Decade, turning him visible again.
Decade hits the ground but rolls upward and stands back up. He pants heavily, going to have him props that he's no pushover.
"Even the odds, Tsukasa-kun!" Natsumi advises Tsukasa to turn the ride. Decade actually snickers and responds. ''I got a better idea, Natsumikan." He pulls out a Rider Card and dunks it into his belt.
"KAMEN RIDE! KABUTO!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade transforms into Kabuto. He wipes his hands and dunks another card into his belt. ''ATTACK RIDE! CLOCK UP!" He suddenly dashes with such speed, time freezing up as he unleashes barrages of punches and kicks at both Ex-Aids before Decade-Kabuto appears behind them and wipes his hands together. Time resumes and the two Ex-Aid scream with multiple sparks before they explode so hard that they combine and revert back to normal Ex-Aid, crashing hard on the ground.
Decade-Kabuto soon dashes at him, kicking him still in the ground and then launches him backwards through a wall, away from anyone that could get hurt in their fight.
"Tsukasa-kun is winning!" Natsumi expresses as Ex-Aid gets up and tries to hit Decade who dodges around his attacks with Kabuto's agility. Dragonic watches but he knows better. "I wonder though."
Decade-Kabuto slashes Ex-Aid with both the Ride Booker and Kabuto's Kabuto Kunaigun sword form, slashing him as sparks fly out of his chest. Ex-Aid staggers back, breathing heavily.
"Is that all you got?" Decade taunts the gamer rider. Ex-Aid still breathes as he pulls himself up, looking up and finally responds strongly. "… Not even close!" He pulls out the large Gashat from before and presses it. "MAXIMUM MIGHTY X!"
Decade watches as he can beat that form with Decade Complete or with just Clock Up. However, Ex-Aid then pulls out a golden Gashat with a star-like emblem.
"I'll change everyone's fate… with my own hands!" Ex-Aid declares his signature catchphrase as he presses the button of the device, announcing. ''HYPER MUTEKI!" He slides in the Maximum Mighty X Gashat as the Game Driver announces. "MAXIMUM GAHAST! GACHAN LEVEL MAX!''
"Hyper Dai Henshin!" Ex-Aid, after doing his dramatic rider arm pose before thrusting the golden Gashat into his Game Driver on top of the front of the belt where the small rider is underneath it, shouts loudly as the belt glows brightly. "DOCKING!"
"OPEN IT UP!" The Gashat immediately flips open its front, overlapping over the screen with a new rider screen. "MUTEKI!"
A golden holographic screen appears in front of Ex-Aid as it moves towards him as he slams the screen right over him and it flips right over him.
''SHINE BRIGHT! LIKE A TRUE SHOOTING STAR! THE ULTIMATE GAMER CLAD IN GOLD!" The Game Driver chants passionately as swirls and shards of golden light overlaps all over Ex-Aid like body armor before the screen overlaps through him downward and transforms Ex-Aid into the golden clad Rider with long golden manes, half star shaped shoulder pads and a star front head design. ''HYPER MUTEKI EX-AID!''
"…'' Decade watches this silently while Natsumi drops her jaw, shouting out overwhelmed. ''EHHH! H-HE WENT SUPER SAIYAN 3?!''
Dragonic nods firmly with his arms crossed, aware of this and full well Decade can't win under the right terms.
Decade-Kabuto looks at the transformed Ex-Aid, actually snickering a bit before he says. ''So this is your true power." He then proceeds to slide a card into his belt.
"ATTACK RIDE! SLASH!" The Decadriver announces as Decade-Kabuto swings both his swords and fires magenta energy slashes. Ex-Aid just stands there as the beams are about to hit him until he suddenly vanishes into sparkling light and rematerializes as soon as the attacks fly past him.
"What?!" Decade utters, using Clock-Up to attack him except as he swings both swords, Ex-Aid moves within the partly frozen time and bashes the blades back with his forearms. This shocks Decade as Ex-Aid then swings a punch. Decade-Kabuto dodges it with his superior speed, only to get tagged and punched by a much faster Ex-Aid. The force of the impact sends Decade-Kabuto backwards, reverting him back to base form.
The others watch with Natsumi, stunned by whatever happened.
Decade gets up, also just as confused. It wasn't just that Ex-Aid was able to move within Clock-Up but also he was able to hit him with just as fast if not faster.
"Is he that fast or-'' Decade begins to question but Dragonic warns him. "It's much worse than that. And you won't be able to fight him for long either."
Decade knows so, pulling out the K-Touch again and swaps it with the Decadriver, inserting it in before pressing its switch.
"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!''
His body glows and transforms into his final form. ''DECADE! COMPLETE!''
Swiping the Ride Booker with the back of his sword, Decade comes charging with swift swings but Ex-Aid once more becomes light, vanishing through each of his swings and remineralizes soon after. Decade startles as Ex-Aid reappears behind him and tries to kick him but he blocks with his forearm, pushing him back but sparks still fly out.
Decade stares at him, confirming that Ex-Aid's disappearing act is like he's dodging but not trying. If this is related to video games; then no doubt his abilities are both auto-dodging and able to move within frozen or pause time if not having another ability too.
This wouldn't be a problem as he thrusts a card into his driver's card slot.
''FINAL KAMEN RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade transforms into Kabuto's final form. ''KABUTO HYPER!" He then dunks another card into his belt, tapping on it.
''ATTACK RIDE! HYPER CLOCK UP!" The Decadriver then announces as the armor of Hyper opens up and forms the wingless jet wings that releases bright colorful bug tin wings. He dashes with even more insane speed even in normal time, everything to Decade is so pathetically slow. Ex-Aid couldn't react as Decade-Kabuto lands a fist, bypassing through his auto-dodge and hits him directly at his helmet face. The fist bashes him backwards but Ex-Aid simply flinches and looks forward, completely undamaged to his shock. Ex-Aid then comes with his own fists that Decade evades without trying, kicking him and then unleashes a barrage of fists that all connect but Ex-Aid oddly tanks them all and kicks Decade back.
"Hyper Muteki is the greatest invincibility! Nothing can beat it!" Ex-Aid declares proudly, revealing the final true ability to his final form. Decade oddly chuckles. Invincibility: It's a new one for him but he's not afraid of the challenge.
"Let's test that." Decade proclaims as he dashes with Hyper Clock Up but Ex-Aid dashes back, actually able to somewhat keep up with his speed but not able to deliver a precise hit.
To the others; Decade is moving like a blur while Ex-Aid is moving faster too but none are able to make real damage or any damage to the other.
''Hyper Kabuto is a blur but Muteki Ex-Aid is almost as hard as diamond." Dragonic begins to explain to the group, frowning as Muteki Gamer's powers will withstand any if not all of Decade's attacks. "Tsukasa-kun will not win this with his regular strategy. Ex-Aid has an auto dodge and invisibility abilities.''
This actually terrifies Natsumi, meaning nothing Tsukasa does will damage him.
Soon the two Riders clash with a strong punch that pushes them backwards. Decade, however, gasps with sparks of damage across him but Ex-Aid takes no damage. Ex-Aid slowly tapes the top of the Hyper Muteki Gashat as the belt announces. ''FINISHER!"
Realizing he has one chance to win, Decade quickly dunks a Rider Card into his belt.
"FINAL ATTACK RIDE!" The Decadriver announces as Decade leaps forward but so does Ex-Aid, both taking on a Rider Kick.
''HYPER CRITICAL SPARKLING!'' The Game Driver announces as Ex-Aid's kick is engulfed in golden sparkling energy while the Decadriver also announces with Decade-Kabuto's leg charge in electricity and the same glowing energy as the wings. ''KABUTO!"
The two kicks connect and clash, releasing opposing streams of energy against the other. Decade-Kabuto pushes his kick harder, overpowering the golden power of Ex-Aid's kick however Ex-Aid pushes forward, ignoring through all of the power that Decade is pouring back at him. It's overpowering Decade, realizing he's not going to win… unless he uses that card.
"THE ULTIMATE IMPACT!" The Game Driver announces as Ex-Aid's light glows brighter, about to overcome Decade. "FLAWLESS-''
Making up his mind, Decade dunks the only card that will grant him victory.
"ATTACK RIDE!" The Decadriver announces as the wings of Kabuto glows. "HYPER CLOCK UP!"
Decade-Kabuto suddenly vanishes inward in a green light as everything starts rewinding in a rapid state until it stops at the moment that Ex-Aid is about to go Hyper Muteki and time resumes like normal.
"Hype Dai-'' Ex-Aid begins to announce as a green light manifests in front of him, startling him, and Decade-Kabuto emerges and delivers his Ride Kick so strong he goes through the rider. Soon Ex-Aid gasps as he explodes along with his painful screams.
Nearly everyone is shocked as is Natsumi who begins to realize what even happened.
"Did Tsukasa-kun just-'' She begins to ask Dragonic who nods, explaining it to her and the others. "He used Hyper Clock Up to travel back in time to the point before Ex-Aid used Muteki Gamer!"
Natsumi immediately frowns at that as that felt cheap, even for Tsukasa.
"One reason: Tsukasa-kun wouldn't have won.'' She begins to protest that he would do such a thing but the purple dragon says firmly with his arms crossed. "It was the only way. He was in an unwinnable situation due to Ex-Aid invincibility and self-evasion. If he continued the fight with any other strategy, it would be his defeat."
Sougo nods, also fully aware of Ex-Aid's abilities and nothing Tsukasa possessed right now would have done all but Hyper Clock Up.
"I see now. Hehe." Decade turns around, detransforms as Ex-Aid is on his knees, also detransform with Emu calling him out with a small grin. "Cheap blow, Tsukasa!"
Tsukasa oddly smirks as he reminds him. "You said you wanted me to win."
"…" Emu doesn't say a word, just smiling as his body begins to glow.
"If you can fight outside Dark Decade's game then I have nothing to worry about.'' He begins to say, smiling saddened by the outcome but happy someone will stop that monster. Emu stares at him and pleads to Tsukasa. ''Don't let anyone else get hurt because of him."
Tsukasa looks down at him and smirks softly, responding. ''… Like you promise the so-called God, I promise you too Emu."
Emu smiles with no regrets, glad to hear it.
''The game…" He begins to say, staring at his hand glowing too brightly before his body also glows the same light. Emu smiles as he closes his eyes. ''Is never over. That's life." Soon his body gives in and he becomes sparks of light, fading away.
"…" Tsukasa watches in silence as the lights fade away, looking down rather sad. He stands there for a few moments before he turns towards the others and declares. "Let's go."
Natsumi nods with a somber face as they follow Tsukasa back to the Hikari Studio, heading to their next world… and likely the last they'll need to go.
Sougo doesn't say a word, knowing everything is soon coming to an end.
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) Ex-Aid is the reason WHY I continued watching Kamen Rider after the horror that was Ryuki. This is why I love Kamen Rider and why I watch all of the Heisei Era, no regrets! Thank you Ex-Aid, you gave me hope. I suggest for those who haven't watched it to watch it. A good spinoff and easy to jump in too along with the next world we're going! Watch it!
3) So I decided to have the A.R. World of Ex-Aid to be similar to the A.R. World of Ryuki and Blade with a Fornite/Battlefield-like Virtual World game that only the best are praised. Simple and no one gets hurt or becomes Bugsters… until now by the Meme Game Master God Rider. And yes, Geats is that but it's digital?!
4) Kuroto Dan; God. WHY HIM over an A.R of maybe his father or someone else. EH… I wasn't going to like it if I didn't have him become the opposing force for this world. I mean why not?! HE'S GREAT. And Decade had to try harder to beat him, heck, even needing Dragonic's help on top of that. How many times have you seen Decade and Dragonic fight together? Little, because Dragonic trusts in Tsukasa to win. But in this case; the Immortal Dragon needed to help him.
5) I like Emu, the only actual doctor I can trust with my health and life... and video games. Like nothing else to say. And A.R. Emu is basically Game Master M but no Bugster in him and never had the accident that made him pursue his dream to become a doctor. Good enough!
The A.R. World of Ex-Aid was much funnier than I had hoped for. And yes, the author's note is short. I have nothing else to say, this was good.
ALSO, no Hyper Clock-Up Rewind backwards paragraphs from that point that I did in the first Tales of the Decade. Too much work and would have made the chapter longer.
Well, 2 weeks from now (3 if something happens)… we'll see what the Law of Victory says as we enter the A.R. World of Build! OOOHH! See you then!
