Chapter 11: World of Separation and Deconstruction!
Within the World of Negative, inside his palace, the Great Leader sits on his throne, eyes closed as he and his servants are waiting for the last of his ''Generals'' to appear. Apollogeist gulps, clearly seeing how enraged his leader is while Doctor Shinigami snickers to see him so angry.
''…'' Silent as he hears footsteps, the Great Leader opens his eyes as Sayo finally walks in, breathing heavily as she's arrived quite late.
"You're late.'' The Great Leader tells her firmly, adjusting himself to have a more menacingly, sitting pose.
"Nii-san, my-'' Not even letting her apologize for arriving so late only for Dark Tsukasa to gaze at her coldly and he corrects her. "Address me as your leader."
Sayo immediately shivers in fear, bowing down as she apologies again. "… Great Leader, my apologies."
He just looks down at her like she's trashed. He turns to Apollogeist, gulping as he explains the situation to this discussion. "It seems Decade and his comrades have managed to help 8 Neo-Heisei A.R Worlds and he's seemingly gaining their powers too."
''… Is that it?" The Great Leader questions, bored. ''What obvious assumption. It means little to me.''
Apollogeist looks at him puzzled with Doctor Shinigami, letting out hiccups, as he speaks up eagerly. "It pales in comparison with my news.''
The Great Leader nods as he reveals, pulling out his fully functional Dark Decadriver. ''The Doctor has confirmed I have full control of my powers."
This causes Sayo to widen her eyes in horror. She thought she still had time but it is far from it.
"Let Decade travel to the last worlds. Then we will make him come here and I will fight him here to see which one of us is the strongest.'' He proclaims confidently and egoist of his already victory over the other Decade, smirking. ''Which will be I and then Decade will be no more.''
Sayo lets out a small growl, irritated by this news. She immediately turns her back harshly and proceeds to walk away angrily.
"I am oh SO pleased that now you are the strongest Rider, Great Leader~!" Doctor Shinigami expresses, excitedly, as he spins around with delight. He then asks his leader. ''Now… I do have a small request.''
The Great Leader eyes him, listening. Sayo frowns, walking faster across the hallway with Tsukikage keeping up with her and he asks her. "What now, my princess?''
She isn't sure but that just means she must act before the Great Leader gets rid of her.
"We will proceed with the plan of conquering the 9th world." Sayo declares, not going to let her brother get everything he wants. ''Tsukikage, it's time we check out the results of our pawn in that world."
"At once, milady." Tsukikage agrees with her, vowing he will not let her down. ''I will not fail you again."
She frowns, muttering out. "Again…'' Recalling how her brother used to say he'll take her to see the world but never did and instead kept her like his good little sister, obedient or else. She gets mad, not going to let him get away with this.
Tsukasa and the others stare at the backdrop in the house, showing the image of a male figure staring down at the horizon of a city over a rooftop, staring at massive black walls separating the city and world apart as he shakes and holds on to a red and blue Fullbottles. They knew they had arrived in the 9th world.
''Already in the 9th World." Natsumi mutters worryingly, just thinking back how they were at the World of W not long ago and now they're at the end of their journey.
''Jiggly!" Jigglypuff cries out, wanting to sing but Tsukasa stuffs a piece of toast in her mouth, causing the round fairy to sob as she eats the bread. He stares at the blank Rider Cards he's gotten from the A.R Worlds of W to Ex-Aid and even though he has access to the Final Form Cards, he doesn't have access to the rest. Like Sougo told him, he needs all 10 Neo Heisei Rider Cards to fully have access to these cards or whatever he meant by it.
''That's right Natsumi-chan! This is the 9th Neo Heisei World, the A.R World of Build!" Dragonic proudly announces with a small grin.
"In this reality, the Pandora Box event never happened thus Smashes were never unleashed but the concept of the Fullbottles and the Rider System were forged." Sougo explains, almost aware of this A.R. World. Natsumi hums, wondering why Sougo knows that. Maybe his world is the next one they'll visit.
"Right now, the box is being studied by 3 groups who each wish to use the box for many things. Each one has their own reasons but they all wish to benefit humanity.'' Dragonic then explains how much he knows about this world. ''However, only one group will be able to use the box and the decision will fall under a Neutral Head Scientist who will decide the fate of humanity!'' He narrows his eyes towards a certain hero.
"…'' Tsukasa looks back at the dragon, clueless by his gaze. Grunting by his unawareness, Dragonic tells him annoyed. "That's your cue, Tsukasa-kun."
Tsukasa hums as he looks down and notices he's wearing some kind of scientist outfit with a lab coat and a pair of fake glasses.
"Oh! Tsukasa-kun is a scientist!'' Natsumi proclaims with a giggle. Tsukasa eyes her and smirks, adjusting his glasses in a charming way, asking her. "Looks good on me, no?"
Natsumi nods with bright red cheeks as Tsukasa takes it as a yes.
"Well, let's get going and finish this world up. Shouldn't be too hard; just take the box or destroy it or hand it to the right group.'' He declares, walking forward as the others follow right behind him. Dragonic oddly agrees since the Evolto of this world died thanks to this world's Queen of Mars, killing both of them. Though… Why does he have this bad feeling too? Like, something truly evil is still out there.
The group arrives at the large facility building, filled with guards and other scientists, working hard. The group are approached by a young man, rather awkward, shy and nervous but happy to see them, mainly Tsukasa.
"Thank you for coming, sir!" He proclaims with a polite bow. Tsukasa raises an eyebrow, questioning him. "And you are?"
"Sento, sir.'' The young man answers him. ''I'm in charge of maintaining control for each group when experimenting on the box. I'll be your assistant during your time here." As he points to the large protective barrier and within it is a strange foreign black box.
Natsumi blinks, staring at the protective containment box. It looks strange. To think that box means there's life out there. Then again, she figured that out since one of her dearest friends is a dragon and the other is an Absol… and now a Jigglypuff.
Tsukasa is oddly aware that Sento isn't his real name: An alias to protect his real identity, worried one of the groups might locate his family and use them as blackmail to get the box. It's a safety precaution.
Still, he accepts his assistance as he questions him, narrowing at the protective barrier. "Why watch over it like a babysitter?"
''Each of the 3 fractions have a goal in how they want to use the Pandora Box. It would be bad if it got stolen or taken by one of the groups as a desperate chance to experiment on it." Sento explains himself with a small, shyly chuckle. "Precaution of course. No one wishes to steal it but we have to but we have to be sure. I don't think so.''
Tsukasa nods as Sento begins to show the group a tour of the building, letting them stare at the number of fellow scientists working hard to improve humanity as well as the heavy guards protecting the site. He explains how one group that his friend works in wants to understand how the cube works but without opening it. Another wants to try to copy the contents of the cube to expand and improve our technology understanding. The third group wishes to open it up and fully grasp the power of the cube but with the proper precautions in case the box contains something they shouldn't unleash.
"All 3 are doing this for humanity's state as many fear this cube could be used to end the world.'' Sento tells his new boss of the kind intentions of each group, sounding very believable.
Tsukasa thinks how simple this all feels. Like he's expected at least one of these groups to aim to use this box for evil but so far they're all following not-evil intentions. It all feels… off.
"I see and you want someone to make up a conclusion for the cube's fate.'' He questions Sento who nods shyly. ''Y-yes…" He then remembers something and informs him. "Oh. I forgot but now there's a fourth group and they haven't well given me one of their reasons on their goals.''
Sighing as things seem more normal, Tsukasa already concludes that it's Dai-Shocker but they can't be the only threat since there's usually an opposing force already in this world, well with the exception of the last world. He's not getting the gist of this world's problem, at least not yet he does.
"Then what are your thoughts, Sento?'' He then asks him, leaving the young man silent almost like hesitant to recall bad memories of his self-doubt.
"… I don't have an opinion about this. I once spoke about the box's use and I was rejected, even after I show my invention that could help others.'' He explains, pulling out his Driver and Fullbottles, confirming to Tsukasa that he will be Build. He sighs of his own unimportance and value, wanting to use his science to help the world and no one gives him the chance, well almost everyone.
"Even after all of my hard work, I'm just not looked up by anyone. The only one who believes my invention is a success is the Professor." He then explains with a small smile, grateful by that man's acknowledgement towards him and sees his true value. ''He's the lead in my friend's Banjo team. The Professor is a nice guy, helped us a lot and wants the box to help humanity."
Again, Tsukasa doesn't get the gist of the problem with this world but it is odd about this professor. He isn't sure why but something about this professor is off but he doesn't let it become a concern.
"Alright then." He responds as he orders him. "Sento, as my assistant, gathers and summons the teams."
"At once?" Sento utters surprised with Tsukasa smirking. "Precisely. Do so."
He looks puzzled but nods, running off to gather the groups.
"You have a plan already?" Natsumi questions him with a small smirk, knowing how he thinks. Tsukasa smirks back as he responds. "I always have a-'' His words are cut off when he spots someone actually touching the protective glass of the cube. Natsumi and the others turn to also notice the strange person staring up close to the glass of the Pandora's box.
"What are you doing over there?" He calls out to the person actually leaning up close to the glass, staring deeply at the cube.
''Awesome! To think there's another Pandora Box! Imagine the possibilities of expanding science with it!'' The strange young man declares, rather foolish and carefree, as a ahoge hair sticks out of his side. ''I can already think of the endless things this world would benefit with! Well as long as he's not-''
Suddenly he's grabbed by his shoulder and pulls away from the protective glass. He looks as if it was Tsukasa who did it as he proclaims, pointing his thumb at the warning sign. ''Do you mind? It says don't touch."
The young man pulls down his ahoge hair lock as he corrects him, waving his long sleeves from his coat. ''It's not touching if I'm using my elbows to lend a closer peek inside the box.''
"Oh? A smartass huh?'' Tsukasa taunts him with a small smirk.
"The smartass to you, Tsukasa Kadoya-san." He responds back with a similar taunting yet superior tone. Natsumi gasps as this is rare for someone to smart talk Tsukasa of all people.
''… So I see." Tsukasa proclaims as he snaps his fingers and shouts. ''Guards!" Immediately multiple guards suddenly rush out of nowhere and pick up the unauthorized person by the arms and even legs.
"Whoa wait!" He shouts out in alarm as he's carried away. Tsukasa smirks, waving goodbye as he doesn't have to deal with him now.
Tsukasa and the others wait in a large room on the other side of the large building. In case Dai-Shocker's goal is to snatch this Pandora's Box; then best to lure them away from it and deal with them directly.
Soon Sento arrives with the groups walking behind them.
"Welcome-'' Natsumi begins to express joyfully to the group until one person steps up, an older man with a pair of small sunglasses. He smiles pretty charmingly as he says. "And to you too, miss.''
She blushes as the man tells Tsukasa, staring at him. "Thank you for gathering us together, Professor Kadoya."
"You must be the Professor that my assistant spoke about.'' Tsukasa questions the man who smiles with a polite bow. This… honestly makes Tsukasa uneasy. He seems too friendly.
"Speaking about." He changes subject, turning to his side as Sento runs to his side, holding up a cardboard of lattes. "I-I'm here with the lattes."
"Seriously, Sento?" His friend, Banjo, questions him with a disappointed gaze. He's usually standing up for him but he has an issue that he wants to be acknowledged that it gets him easy to manipulate.
"Yes! Look, Kadoya-san knows what he's doing!'' Sento yells embarrassed towards his friend as he trusted his superior so far. Tsukasa eyes his latte, frowning as it's not what he ordered so he gave it to Sento to his joy, accepting it. He also introduces the leaders of the other groups, Gentoku and Kazumi, to Tsukasa who nods.
"Now I'm aware each one of you have your own goals with the box.'' Tsukasa begins to say, looking at each group's leader before his eyes gazes at the last… and it's the other Sayo who's smiling confidently towards him.
"Now I don't understand the goal of the 4th group. Wish to clarify your goal, miss?" He asks her with a calm smile, playing dumb as he's fully aware of her real goal. Sayo, still smiling, happily lies to him as she knows how he thinks. "To help the evolution of humanity. Nothing else."
Tsukasa just smiles as he walks away and soon declares to all four groups. "Since all four groups are determined to get the box, this will be decided through your determinations.'' He pulls and straps on the Decadriver as he smirks. ''By beating me in battle."
This surprises everyone. Natsumi, Layla and Dragonic all sigh, not at all surprised. Even Jigglypuff finds this predictable while Sougo thinks this is a good plan.
"W-What?" Sento utters in confusion as Tsukasa nods firmly, once more telling the groups. "Beat me and you get access to the box. If you don't, well no one gets it."
Sayo frowns, not surprised by this approach. She narrows her eyes as Tsukikage is watching from afar, waiting to step in and do his part to fight and likely try to kill Decade… but for now she'll play along.
"You can all attack me at once. The winner is the one who beats me…'' Tsukasa begins to explain the rules as he reaches into his lab coat pockets and pulls out a pair of jingling bells attached to two strings as he ties them around his belt buckle. "And take these two bells from me."
"Oh! I get it…" Dragonic mutters with a small smirk to both Natsumi and Layla's confusion.
"Shall we start?" Tsukasa asks the groups with a cocky smirk as Banjo gets fired up. "Bring it!" He straps on a Build Driver and follows it by shaking the Dragon Fullbottle before turning the tip. He then inserts the Fullbottle into the Cross-Z Dragon device.
"WAKE UP!" The Cross-Z Dragon announces as he then inserts that into the belt. "CROSS-Z DRAGON!"
Both Gentoku and Kazumi strapped on different drivers, the Sclash Drivers. Gentoku simply twirls his Fullbottle while Kazumi uses a different type of bottle, twisting its tip before they each insert it in their own belts.
"ROBOT JELLY!" The belt Kazumi is using announces, followed by the other belt that Gentoku is wearing. "DANGER! CROCODILE!"
Banjo begins twirling the lever of his belt as the driver begins making musical-like sounds but more importantly tubes surrounding him like an industrial press machine but visible. The tubes begin to release dark blue liquid, floating on each side and flowing into one-half of a body imprint: on the front and bottom.
"ARE YOU READY?" The Build Driver announces as all 3 shout, triggering their belts. "Henshin!"
"WAKE UP BURNING!" The Build Driver announces as the Halfbodies slam themselves on both his front and back, transforming into his rider form as his head and arms are wrapped by the dragon shape of his Cross-Z Dragon. "GET CROSS-Z DRAGON! YEAH!"
"SQUISH! STREAM! OVERFLOW!" The Sclash Driver that Kazumi is wearing begins to announce as machine parts form and a test tube surrounds Kazumi followed by a dark brown liquid. Soon the test tube shrinks and lengthens before vanishing and transforming him into Grease. "ROBOT IN GREASE! BRAAAA!"
"BREAK! CHOMP! CRUSH!" The Sclash Driver that Gentoku is wearing begins to announce as a similar test tube surrounds Gentoku but with purple liquid. Then two halves of robotic crocodile fangs pop out on both sides of the test tube, crunching on it before shattering it but also transforming him into Rouge. "CROCODILE IN ROGUE!"
Tsukasa watches, pretty impressed while Natsumi gasps and yells out in surprise. "So Sento-san help you 3 with your drivers?!"
"I mostly made mines. He helped with Kazumi and Gentoku's drivers.'' Cross-Z explains as Tsukasa eyes Sento and asks him. "And that Professor helped you, no?"
"Exactly!'' Sento confirms him with a smile. Tsukasa hums, puzzled, wondering why.
The 3 Riders wait for him to do something but Tsukasa demands in a taunt. ''Well? Come.''
This startles them but nods as Cross-Z is the first to charge in followed by Grease and Rogue. Tsukasa stands there, calmly, before he dashes to the right to evade Cross-Z and then twirls around, skipping around Grease and then dashing under Rogue. Natsumi gasps astonished, watching as the riders are still trying to attack or even grab the bells dangling but Tsukasa just easily evades around each of their attempts. It was almost a game for him, not bothering to even attack them for a long 5 minutes until Tsukasa backs away.
He reaches for the bells and pulls them off, not needing them anymore, before he straps on the Decadriver.
"Now I think that's enough of a warm-up.'' Tsukasa declares, pulling and tapping on a Rider Card before thrusting it inside his belt.
''KAMEN RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Tsukasa proclaims with a small smirk. ''Henshin." He pushes the levers of his belt forward as the belt announces. "DECADE!"
He transforms and becomes Decade, wiping his hands together before he charges forward. Cross-Z swings first as Decade side-steps and kicks him across the stomach, sending him flying away. Grease and Rogue charge as well but Decade pulls out the Ride Booker in gun form, not even looking at them and firing multiple shots across them. Sparks fly out as they're pushed back.
Realizing they can't do it without teamwork, the 3 riders all try to gang up on him but Decade dunks a card into his belt as he flips his Ride Booker into its sword form.
"ATTACK RIDE! SLASH!" The Decadriver announces as he swipes the end of his sword and then swings and twirls at 3 directions with magenta blue color speed within the same second: One towards Cross-Z, another towards Grease and the last towards Rogue. All 3 swings release a magenta energy slash that hits all 3 and hits them directly, creating multiple explosions.
Everyone watches as all 3 riders crash away onto the ground, grunting by the damage they took. The professor watches this rather impressed; this Decade is certainly a formidable
Decade scoffs, unfolding the Ride Booker to its binder form and puts it away as he proclaims. "That was too easy. You all could try better." He turns to the last group. "Want to try next?"
Sayo frowns, going to have to let Shadow Moon do-
"So if I beat you, I can take the box then?" Decade turns around as walking forward is the strange young man from before. The professor eyes him and widens his eyes before he slowly forms an evil smirk, backing away without being noticed.
"You again. Are the guards that stupid to let you come back?" Decade questions, surprised to see him here again. The young man smirks, pulling out a red Fullbottle and says. "More like occupied.'' A brief scene shows the guards tied up with their eyes spinning.
"The Rabbit Fullbottle?" Sento mutters, recognizing it as he pulls out his own. How does he have the same Fullbottle?
Decade notices this and questions the stranger. "Who are you?"
Smiling rather excitedly, he replies strongly. ''Who am I? I'm Sento Kiryu, physicist and hero of justice!"
Everyone, especially the other Sento, are shocked to hear he has the same name as him. Tsukasa, however, now knows who he is.
"... Boy Genius?" Decade asks, causing Sento to nearly trip backwards. "When you say it like that, sounds like you're calling me-" Sento tries to say only for Decade to say it. "Jimmy Neutron."
Sento makes a face of disgust, really hating that comparison. "That's a real insult. You could have refer to me as the Einstein of this generation but instead you call me the boy who causes more problems for his world than solve his problems."
"… And you want to make a 5th group for-'' Decade oddly asks him in a taunt only for Sento to tell him off firmly. ''I plan to seal this Pandora Box for the sake of humanity."
Decade stares silent, no doubt confirming this is the real Sento from the "this Pandora Box" talk. Maybe this is fine if they work together since they have common-
''And beat you to save my world, Mr. Conqueror!'' Sento then proclaims, holding forward his Build Driver and straps it on his waist.
"Conqueror?" Decade begins to question, really taken back by his assumption. "You think I'm a Dark Decade? Can't you tell the difference in our colors-''
"I don't need to know about colors to know that you're the evil one here!" Sento declares loudly, pulling out a second Fullbottle, a blue one.
Under his mask; Tsukasa makes a face, pretty sure this guy doesn't know colors. Some genius.
''And I'm the hero who will stop you." He declares strongly, beginning to shake both Fullbottles. As he does, numerous mathematical equations manifest, flying forward from his sides and surround him and Decade.
''Are these floating equations?" Natsumi points out the obvious, really unease. Once he shakes them enough, Sento twirls the small tips of them. He then slides in the red Fullbottle on the right slot of the Build Driver and then the blue one on the left.
"RABBIT! TANK!" The Build Driver begins to announce, confirming both bottles with two small glowing symbols manifesting on each bottle. ''BEST MATCH!"
"Now, it's time for the experiment." Sento announces with a small smile, grabbing onto the lever on the side of his driver and begins to twirl it around. As he spins it, the driver begins making musical-like sounds but more importantly tubes surrounding him like an industrial press machine but visible. The tubes begin to release red and blue liquid, floating on each side and flowing into one-half of a body imprint: on the front and bottom.
"ARE YOU READY?" The driver begins to announce as Sento takes on a brawling, fighting pose and declares with a confident smirk. "Henshin!" He then moves his arms on the sides as the body imprints move towards him on both sides and press onto his body, combining with him and transforming him into his Rider form.
''THE FULLMETAL MOONSAULT!" The Build Driver begins to announce as Sento, now as Build, begins to do his fabulous pose, waving his right hand, especially his index finger across the antenna head piece. ''RABBITTANK! OH YEAAH!''
Everyone watches in shock with Cross-Z turning to his Sento, shock this guy could transform into that.
"He can become Build too?!'' A.R Sento utters in surprise, astonished with Natsumi really surprised too.
Not wasting any time, Build runs forward and comes swinging at Decade. The magenta rider dodges it but not the kick Build landed, his foot grinding like tank tracks as sparks fly out of him. Decade is pushed backwards but charges back, swinging a punch that connects to Build's chest and pushes him backwards as sparks fly out.
Brushing off the damage, Build comes right back at Decade who does the same; the two clash arm bashes and evading the others kicks/punches before they collide fist that the impact of their punches pushes the other back.
Build immediately starts spinning the lever of his belt, music playing as it announces as he stops "READY GO!" He stomps his foot as the ground shoots out a pillar underneath him, taking him flying up as a small equation-like ramp as he rides through in a Rider Kick as it launches him right towards Decade; swirls of red and blue electrical energy in the form of a drill from the kick forms. "VOLTEC FINISH! YEAHHH!"
Seeing that's not good, Decade pulls out his Ride Booker and slides a card in it as he flips the binder into its gun form.
"FINAL ATTACK RIDE! DECADE!" The Decadriver announces as Decade quickly takes aim and fires as multiple holographic cards form in a row, all pointing to Build as his shot flies through them and grows in power and speed until it is now literally colliding across Build's kick. The two attacks clash but Decade's overpowers and explodes onto Build, launching him backwards and crashing on the ground.
Decade twirls his gun, almost mocking Build who gets up, not even close from being beaten.
"Guess I have to try harder.'' He declares as he pulls out a large Fullbottle. He shakes it and opens it up like a soda can, releasing the sound of a soda can too before he slides it into his driver.
"RABBIT TANK SPARKLING!" The Build Driver announces as Build begins twirling the levers. Gears and tubes form to make Halfbodies around Build except the base on both halves resembles Build's symbol. "ARE YOU READY?"
"Build Up!" Build declares as the Halfbodies overlap and slams themselves between the user, releasing a burst of red, blue and white sparks flying around him. Soon they explode in sparkling light, revealing a new Build form with multiple sharp white lining patterns across the sharper armor.
"POP OPEN WITH FIZZ!" The Build Driver begins announcing excitedly as sparkles still glow around the new form. "RABBITTANK SPARKLING! YEAHHH!"
Decade scoffs as he comes charging, firing shots from his gun but Build punches them as each punch releases the same bubble sparkling from before through each punch. He then hops forward with such speed that he punches Decade and blasts him into a wall.
Grunting, Decade pulls himself out of the wall as he thrusts a Rider Card into his belt.
''KAMEN RIDE!" The Decadriver announces as Decade changes into… "BLACK RX!"
Build hops again with the same speed right up to Decade-Black RX but he evades it to the sides and then delivers a swift kick, pushing him once back before dashing right at him and delivers a gut punch right across the rider and slams him into the wall.
Grunting, Build utters as he looks forward and Decade wipes his hands, taunting him. ''Is that all you got, Boy Genius?''
Groaning, Build gets off the wall and comes charging as Decade thrusts a card into his belt as he switches his Ride Booker into sword form.
"ATTACK RIDE! SLASH!'' The Decadriver announces as he swipes the back of his sword before he swings his sword and times it, slashing Build who repels with a fist but the enhanced boost from his blade parries the fist right back and slashes him thrice across his chest. Sparks fly out as Build is launched backwards, grunting.
"Gotta… step it up… a notch." Build utters, pulling himself up. He reaches and pulls out a long, combined Fullbottles that Build shakes softly before twisting the top. Then he bends the long stick into two and inserts them into his driver.
''RABBIT & RABBIT!" The Build Driver announces as he begins twirling the lever as the driver chants. ''CLASH! CLANG! CLASH! CLANG!" Manifesting on Build's back and front is a pair of Black industrial press machine horizontal that the humanoid shapes resemble the appearance of Build. "ARE YOU READY?"
''Build Up!" Build proclaims as the halfbodies slam themselves onto him and vanish, revealing a black Build minus his blue-red visor eyes glowing. "OVERFLOW!" A red robotic rabbit suddenly leaps forward before splitting up into body armor that flies and attaches itself onto Build, transforming him into his Super form.
"THE CRIMSON SPEEDY JUMPER!" The Build Driver begins announcing as the new Build form dashes forward like a red blur, getting behind Decade-Black RX like it was nothing. "RABBITRABBIT! OH, NO! SO FAST!"
This shocks Decade as he tries to turn around, swinging his sword only for Build to vanish and now appear at his side, thrusting a fist through Decade as sparks fly out. Build turns around like a blur and unleashes a barrage of punches, multiple sparks flying out across Decade before finishing it with a kick, launching him away.
Decade grinds his feet on the ground, steams flying out from the soles of his feet.
"He's fast." Decade mutters, not expecting him to be this quick. Snickering, he pulls out a Rider Card and thrusts it into his belt. "Let's see how fast."
"KAMEN RIDE!" The Decadriver announces as he swipes the levers forward and begins to transform him into… "KABUTO!"
Build snickers back as he comes dashing fast but Decade twirls around and easily dodges around his punch. Build startles, turning around and comes with a kick but Decade-Kabuto ducks without turning. This shocks Build, realizing he can keep up with his speed. He still comes charging at Decade but he now turns and delivers a kick that Build swings a punch; the two clash and push each other backwards.
Twirling around, Decade-Kabuto pulls out a Rider Card and dunks it into his belt.
"ATTACK RIDE! CLOCK UP!" The Decadriver begins to announce as Build runs at top speed right at him except time suddenly freezes up or rather slows down. Not just that but everything is slowed down… except Decade-Kabuto who dashes like a blur in front of Build. This shocks him, trying to swing a punch but Decade simply moves to the right so slowly but it doesn't matter as Build's swing is just too slow.
"Too slow, Boy Genius." Decade taunts him before swinging a kick not once, not twice, not thrice but four powerful kicks smacking and sending Build to crash onto the ground as time resumes.
Decade-Kabuto swipes his hands, hoping this isn't all that Build can do.
"… Heh.'' Build oddly cracks a chuckle, standing back up. This guy really is strong as he pulls out the Fullbottle, bending it back upward before shaking it and twirling its top but has a different symbol. He shakes it quickly, equations flying around him.
"The law of victory have been decided!'' Build announces while doing his hand wave across his right antenna visor eye, already forming the formula to win as bends it back into two and thrusts the Fullbottle into his belt.
"TANK & TANK!" The Build Driver announces as suddenly multiple blue tanks appear out of nowhere and start firing at Decade who is forced to dodge their shots. ''ARE YOU READY?"
"Build up." Build proclaims as he leaps up. The red Rabbit armor flies out.
''OVERFLOW!" The Driver announces as the blue tanks fly up and attach themselves to Build, becoming a blue armor form.
"THE STEEL BLUE WARRIOR!" The Build Driver announces as the alt transformed Build lands on the ground, doing his signature pose. "TANKTANK! OH, NO! STRONG!"
Decade-Kabuto scoffs at this as he comes charging with insane speed and lands a strong kick… that doesn't even flinch Build who bashes his fist and slams him backwards. He then starts firing with his shoulder weapons, blasting Decade as sparks fly all over him. He's pushed back, still standing his ground.
''He's durable?" He theorizes from that single kick, knowing he can't win without a plan. Luckily, he does as he thrusts a Rider Card into his belt just as Build fires more shots.
"FORM RIDE!" The Decadriver announces as Decade-Kabuto changes into Kabuto's armored Mask Rider form. "KABUTO MASKED!" The bullets and attacks are blocked by Kabuto's armored form, resisting the damage.
Build quickly summons the Fullbottle Buster, the dual sword-blaster weapon, and starts firing powerful energy shots. Decade blocks with his forearms, tanking the shots but the attacks only become stronger and more devastating. Build now charges in, swinging his weapon at him as Decade quickly dunks a card into his belt.
"SUPER FORM RIDE!" The Decadriver announces as Decade swings his right arm at the sword and blocks it as he transforms into… "KUUGA AMAZING MIGHTY!" The sheer power of Kuuga's super form repels the Fullbottle Buster back and then thrusts his other arm forward, hitting him across the chest as Build is launched backwards. He holds his ground though he grunts, complaining in awe. "Geez, that hits hard!"
Build then pulls out his Fullbottle, bending it straight as he slides it into the Fullbottle Buster.
"TANK-TANK!" The weapon begins to announce as Build aims it like a blaster, slowly charging up blue energy from its barrel. "IT'S A FULL-FULL MATCH!"
Decade-Kuuga switches back to Kabuto as he thrusts a card into his belt and then leaps forward.
"FINAL ATTACK RIDE!" The Decadriver announces as Decade-Kabuto performs a Rider Kick pose, flying right at Build who takes aim and his Fullbottle Buster fully charges up before firing the trigger.
"FULL-FULL MATCH BREAK!" The weapon announces, firing a powerful blue energy blast as the Decadriver announces while Decade-Kabuto's foot is engulfed in electricity. "KABUTO!"
The two attacks collide and clash, energies pushing the other until an explosion blows them both away.
''T-that's insane…" A.R. Sento utters astonished, more towards that Build's bottles than the battle, as does Cross-Z. He then asks his mentor. "Could I make such Fullbottles, Professor?"
No response. Sento blinks, turning to his side and sees him nowhere. "Professor?"
Both riders stands their ground from the explosion, landing on the ground as they breathe. Decade reverts back to base form, not expecting Build's super form to be this strong. Natsumi watches worryingly, needing to do something as she eyes Layla who looks back at her.
"Not bad, Conqueror. But a real hero doesn't give up!" Build declares, still warming up. Grunting by his stupidity, Decade tells him off. "Idiot, I'm not Dark Decade!"
"You would like me to think like that but I'm no fool! I'm a genius after-" Build immediately protests such a thing but before he can, Layla pounces at his back. "ABSOL!"
Build turns just as the Pokémon tries pinning him but he manages to get her off him. This is a distraction as Natsumi gets to his side and unleashes her Laughing Pressure Point technique across his neck and connects. The jolt zaps him as Build starts laughing uncontrollably, so much so that his transformation is undone.
Decade sees this and actually chuckles, taking a breather as he expresses his relief. ''Nice plan, Natsumikan.''
''We couldn't let you get hurt, Tsukasa-kun.'' Natsumi speaks up with a soft smile with Layla barking. ''Absol!''
Sento still laughs, calming his nerves as he's never experienced such a rush but at least a somewhat joyful one.
''C-cheap trick!'' He speaks up, rubbing his neck still tingling as he turns to Natsumi and asks her rather curious. ''So, what was that?! That was an interesting attack! It reminds me of the Vulcan Technique!'' A piece of his hair sticks out excitedly.
''Well that was the Hikari Family Secret Technique!'' Natsumi simply proclaims with a wink. She then becomes serious and tries convincing him. ''Now please stop attacking Tsukasa-kun. He's not Dark Decade! He's Decade, the good guy!"
Sento looks at her suspiciously before he looks closely at Decade… and he slowly widens his eyes in a panicking look. Dark Decade was gold and blue; this guy is pink or whatever bright pinkish color he has.
"Oh... This sort of happen before with Genm looking the same as Ex-Aid when I- well me before the…'' Sento begins to say, having this happened already when he fought Ex-Aid but it was Genm and it wasn't him but his real self but... yea. "It's a long story! My bad!"
"… Idiot." Decade mutters at the so-called genius. Natsumi sighs of relief that this is-
"Tsukasa, the Princess!" Sougo suddenly shouts, realizing the Princess of Dai-Shocker is gone. Decade turns and also doesn't see her as Sougo theorizes. "She's gone, likely going after the box! We have to-''
"No, not her.'' Decade, however, protests as he turns towards his assistant and asks him. ''Where's your professor friend, Sento?"
The other Sento blinks, having been trying to look for him but he just vanished.
"I'm not sure, sir." He responds, not sure where he's gone. Then an idea pops in his head as he suggests. "Oh wait, maybe he went to get his driver.''
''He has his own driver?" Decade questions him, surprised to hear that. Sento approaches, actually looking worried.
"He even had his own Fullbottles I helped design thanks to him. He called it the Evol Driver.'' A.R Sento explains to the horror of the actual Sento, reaching and grabbing him by the collar neck of his lab coat and yells furiously. "Who told you to make a driver like that?!''
Even Dragonic is shocked, knowing that driver and now things are worse.
Startled by his sudden change of attitude, he replies nervously. "T-The Professor. He taught me and Banjo about our drivers and bottles-''
"What is his name?!" Sento then demands the Professor's name, having a face like he knows who he is. Gulping, the other Sento answers him. "… Soichi Isurugi."
"…" Silent as everything now makes sense, Sento releases his grip off him and begins to walk away until Decade calls him out. "Where are you going?"
Sento doesn't answer at first he turns around and says with a worrying expression. "… We have to stop a real monster."
Now that perks Decade's interest as he and the others follow.
"Finally." Uttering with a tone of delight as he walks past the unconscious guards he took care of; the Professor walks past them as he fires a strange unique gun blaster, blasting off the protection around the Pandora Box. The protection is melted through on one side, exposing the box. The man reaches towards it, so close until a voice stops him. "I knew it.''
He staggers as Sento arrives as does Decade and the others.
"I should have known you would manipulate a naïve, alternative version of myself. You screwed up using that name. You never cared about anyone's potential but how it would benefit you and your twisted plans…'' He begins to say, suspicious by the very moment the other him mentioned that driver and no doubt that he was involved. It is exactly like him to play others like chess pieces until he discards them, enraging Sento before he yells out. "EVOLTO!"
"Evolto?" Decade utters puzzled while Dragonic worries heavily, a fool to not realize it sooner.
Cracking a soft smirk and laughter, the Professor turns around as he pulls off his glasses and tosses them aside.
''Yo, Sento! I'm glad you haven't forgotten me.'' He speaks up with a glee, holding his driver in the palm of his hands. Sento panics as he tries to warn Decade. ''Stop him from-''
It's too late as he straps on the driver, forming a belt around his waist.
''EVOL DRIVER!" The belt announces itself with a different voice than the Build Drivers as he holds up two different types of Fullbottles and shakes them before he slides them into his driver.
''COBRA! RIDER SYSTEM!" The Evol Driver proclaims excitedly. "EVOLUTION!" He begins twirling the lever on his belt as it starts playing a cracked music that resembles Beethoven's Ode to Joy.
Then a similar half body industrial press machine of tubes like Build's manifests on both his front and back but the liquids going through them are red and purple with dark aura.
"ARE YOU READY?!" The Evol Driver announces as he crosses his arms forward with a smug smirk across his face, uttering out calmly. "Henshin." He spreads his arms forward just as 3 golden gears form in a row in the back, front and middle of the user before the two body tubes slam themselves onto the user along with the gears, combining into a 3 overlapping gyro gears spiraling around him before fully transforming, waves of energy blast everyone weaker away except Decade and Dragonic. What emerges is a pair of red glowing eyes followed by dark smoke with yellow electricity, vanishing and revealing to a rider.
"COBRA! COBRA! EVOL COBRA! MWAHAHAHA!" The Evol Driver announces, actually laughing while the rider speaks with such overconfidence and delight, distorted voice as he raises his gloved right index finger which resembles a claw. "Evol Rebirth: Phase 1.''
Sento glares worryingly, too drained from his fight against Decade and the Pressure Point. The other Sento is speechless and actually horrific as this form isn't what he was expecting.
Walking forward, Sayo hums alongside Tsukikage as she says. ''What a show. The time with you was worth it.''
"You… idiot.'' Sayo hums as she eyes Sento, getting up weakly as he yells at her. "You brought back Evolto!"
She oddly smirks as Tsukikage speaks for his princess. ''Naïve fool. We do not fear him. Milady has him under control!"
Indeed, she does; using the power of Darkness to keep Evolto on her personal leash and if he would try anything; he would know what it feels like being split into two. Sento, however, doesn't buy it as Evolto is checking his claw-like hands like looking at one's nails, almost not concerned about anything.
"Again, don't have a damn clue who he is." Decade speaks up, not getting the threat to this guy. Sougo sighs as he might regret it.
"Can't blame you, this is my first time seeing him in person too.'' Dragonic begins to inform Decade with a cautious expression. ''This is the dreaded Dark Rider, Kamen Rider Evol or Evolto. I refer to him as the Devourer of Worlds."
''Devourer?" Decade questions, finding that humorous like he's supposed to be Galactus.
Feeling his power as his fingers flicker, Evol snickers as he looks at the group.
"Now then…" Evolto begins to say as he adjusts his collar neck, seeking who to "play" with and his gaze turns to Decade. "Decade, right? You'll make a wonderful warm up." He twirls his wrists, about to flex on him as he suddenly vanishes as a red blur and reappears behind the magenta rider to everyone's shock, except Sento, Sougo and Dragonic.
"Do entertain me." Evol tells the startled rider before he turns around and has already transformed into Kabuto. Evol, however, responds with his own spinning kick, sparks flying out from their clashing kicks. Decade-Kabuto scoffs as he pushes forward and tries to punch him only for Evol to vanish with his instant speed and punches Decade from the right, slamming to a wall.
Decade gets off the wall only to get kicked by the teleporting Evol, sending him flying if he didn't time it and somersaults onto the ground, grinding his feet to stop himself. Once he does, Decade pulls out a Rider Card and dunks it into his belt.
"ATTACK RIDE! CLOCK UP!" The Decadriver announces as Kabuto dashes with Clock Up right at the seemingly frozen Evol until turns his head towards him and flickers his fingers like a hand wave. This disturbs Decade as Evol vanishes with his instant speed and Decade-Kabuto matches that speed. The two are blurs, dashing around as they clash kicks or fists but then Evol slams his hand on the ground and creates a shockwave that blasts Decade-Kabuto backwards. However, the energy of the wave isn't ordinary and Dragonic can feel it and pushes everyone not transformed out of the way. Those unlucky are infected and scream before they become Smashes.
"Smashes? Then that was Nebula Gas!" Sento utters in shock, glaring mad at Evol's cruelty. He immediately transforms into Build to stop the transformed humans from hurting anyone else.
Sayo watches this with a smug smirk. With an army of Smashes and the Nebula Gas to infect Dai-Shocker's army, even the Great Leader will fall. Decade watches her, underneath concern that this path is not for her. However, he's roundhouse out of the Kabuto form by Evol's sneak attack.
"Focus on the fight! I'm having a blast!" Evol shouts, actually overjoyed as he fires dark spheres at him. Decade pulls out the Ride Booker and shoots down the spheres, exploding.
The other Sento watches the carnage and he can't help but feel responsible for this- No, not just but stabbed from the back by the one person who he thought valued him.
"How could you betray us, Professor!'' He yells out in frustration, not believing he could do this to everyone, to Banjo, to him. "We trusted you!"
Turning as he leans his head to the side, Evol looks at him and utters confusedly. "Betray you?" Beginning to snicker ominously, Evol vanishes and reappears, grabbing onto A.R. Sento's by the neck as he's strangling him. He laughs evilly, taunting the foolish human. ''You were all pawns! Be grateful I don't kill you all at once."
He prepares to kill him until Cross-Z along with Grease and Rogue jump and all three kick him off their Sento who drops on his knees, having a face of grief and despair.
"Damn you!" Cross-Z yells enraged, not going to forgive him. Snickering at his assumption, Evol pulls out a trigger switch in the palm of his hand.
"Can't have that." He proclaims, pressing the switch. Suddenly both the Sclash Driver glows and explodes to everyone's shock. Both Grease and Rogue lose their forms as they crash through walls, badly hurt but not able to move.
''What just happened?!" Build utters in shock, running to check up on the two. Evol laughs, very pleased with the results as he reveals evilly. ''A slight tweak the other you did on their belts; a self-destruct switch."
''But not mine!" Enraged by his cheap trick, Cross-Z shouts as he comes at him. Evol laughs eagerly, sparing him for a good reason but before he can engage him, a voice announces. "ATTACK RIDE! DIEND BLAST!'' A volley of rapid energy shots fire and connect Cross-Z blasting him far away from Evol.
Grunting, Cross-Z stands up as he utters in confusion. "W-who the hell is this?" As he stares at Diend, twirling his gun and Selina, waving with her small arm.
Seeing him too, Decade yells angrily as he and Layla manage to push back and damage multiple Smashes without killing them. ''Kaito, this isn't the damn time!"
''Pardon me, Tsukasa-san, I'll be leaving after I get my treasure." Diend explains politely before firing another shot at Cross-Z, stunning him as sparks fly out.
Decade grunts as he comes charging at Diend, having enough of him attacking riders that he needs their help.
"We don't have time for you to get in-'' Decade begins to say only to suddenly get kicked by Evol, literally yelling at him. "Stop ignoring me! You'll hurt my feelings. Oh what am I kidding, I'll forget you even existed in a few moments!"
Decade hits the ground but he gets up quickly, turning around to suddenly a barrage of punches at him from Evol, not letting down before he stomp-kicks him through a wall.
"Try harder, so-called Destroyer!" Evol taunts the so-called destroyer Rider, even making a small bow.
No response until he hears the voice of the Decadriver. ''SUPER KAMEN RIDE! HIBIKI KURENAI!" Dashing out of the hole like a fireball, Decade comes swinging with the Ride Booker in Hibiki's super form. Evol, snickering, blocks the sword swing with his forearm. Decade grunts as he swings multiple times, each swing engulfed in flames but Evol parts his arms and releases a shockwave that blasts him away.
Decade is pushed back but he dunks a card into his belt, pushing its levers forward.
''SUPER KAMEN RIDE! AGITO BURNING!" The Decadriver announces as Decade grinds his feet and charges as he engulfs in flames and becomes Agito's super form. He swings a burning fire punch that Evol counters with a kick, creating a small explosion and then a cloud of smoke.
Natsumi watches worryingly as she can make out two figures fighting in the smoke of the explosion, bursts of flames tearing through the pitch black smoke until Decade-Agito is kicked out of the smoke by Evol, looking partly but not completely damaged.
Decade groans as he thrusts another card and dashes forward.
''SUPER KAMEN RIDE! FAIZ AXEL!'' The Decadriver announces as he becomes Faiz's super form and moves at high speed only for Evol to keep up with him, clashing around like they're blurs before Decade is suddenly grabbed by the head by Evol and then literally thrown away as he fires a sphere of energy at him and it explodes on top of the rider.
The blast reverts Decade back to base, crashing on the ground.
"Weak! So very weak HAHA!'' Evol mocks him, expecting more from him but it's just too much to ask. He grabs the lever of his belt, proclaiming strongly. "Now time to die, human.'' He begins spinning the lever of his driver as the same music plays.
Decade gets up, woozy but not out as he dunks one more Rider Card into his belt. As he does this, Layla's eyes flash red as she eyes Natsumi, almost telling her that she needs her help.
"FINAL ATTACK RIDE!" The Decadriver announces as Decade leaps forward.
"READY GO!" The Evol Driver announces as Evol snickers and jumps upward as he's surrounded in violent red sparkling energy.
Taking on his rider kick pose as multiple holographic cards form and aim towards Evol; Decade flies through the card as his belt announces. "DECADE!''
Evol watches this and laughs as he extends back his right fist and times it as Decade is right in front of him, inches from kicking his chest only for the Dark Rider's eyes to flash and he swings his fist upon Decade's kick, releasing a red energy shockwave blast that cancels Decade's attack and sends him crashing to the ground.
Laughing even more, Evol now somersaults and does his own Rider Kick as he dives downward, right towards Decade as his belt announces. "EVOLTECT FINISH! CAIO!''
Decade grunts, too stunned and hurt to do anything as Evol, laughing, comes down and connects, releasing a terrifying explosion that destroys everything, even most of the building, in that attack.
Natsumi sees this with horrific eyes before she screams out in dread, her hand extending and reaching forward. "TSUKASA-KUN!''
Next week, we resume the second part of the A.R. World of Build!
