Before we start, I need help.
I would like to beat the number of reviews from the first Tales of the Decade, a total of 83 at the time I checked, for Season 2. So I need more people to do a reply. And to do that, those watching I want them to review Tales of Season 2 or I need new viewers to review too.
Please help me. I would appreciate it.

This is Chapter 14 of Tales of the Decade Second Season.
Chapter 14: A Destroyer's Fury
Natsumi looks at the Fangire with a confused, worrying expression by what he said that he and her grandfather both created their own Decadrivers and they're the same but not.
''W-what do you mean that you and my grandpa are very alike but different?'' She questions the last part of his sentence and then the other. ''And what do you mean that you created that Dark Decadriver?''
''And the Dark Diendriver too.'' Doctor Shinigami then reveals to her, snickering. Natsumi is further shocked to hear there's a dark version of the Diendriver too.
''As for your other question.'' The Fangire then begins to answer her first question. ''Why shouldn't me and Eijiro Hikari be similar yet different.'' He floats right up close to the barrier separating him and Natsumi, staring deep in her eyes. ''After all, we share something very valuable-''
Suddenly he lets out a gasping pain across his chest, screaming. ''GAAAWWW!'' It disturbs and startles Natsumi heavily, backing away as the Fangire is in agony while his eyes glow redder.
''G-GIVE ME A MOMENT!'' He tries speaking in pain, struggling to hold himself together before flying away in hurry.
''Oh dear…'' Kiva-la begins to say rather sad. ''He's running out on time.''
Natsumi looks at her and raises an eyebrow, saying mentally. ''Time?''
The fight outside is still raging on and the 9 Heisei Riders have managed to beat most of Dai-Shocker's army.
''Man, I hate how many of them there are!'' Den-O yells complaining, already in his Climax Form as he's now fighting against Gaoh.
Faiz flicks his right hand's wrist before becoming Axel Form and blitzes Psyga before he kicks him with an Exceed Charge, destroying it.
''And there seems to be no end.'' Blade comments, taking on Jack Form to slash down more enemies but more monsters keep appearing.
''Doesn't matter. Against us, defenders of justice; their numbers mean nothing.'' Kabuto proclaims, not beaten yet as the Hyper Zecter manifests in the palm of his hand. Kuuga, in Amazing Mighty, nods until a voice speaks up. ''Then maybe you'll need a little more help, Heisei Riders!''
The 9 riders turn around to see a group of humans approaching them.
''That's-'' Ryuki begins to utter as the one leading the group is none other but a young Takeshi Hongo. And alongside him are the other Showa Era Riders. ''I see Decade called for your help too.''
''Of course he did.'' Kuuga begins to announce as he looks at his fellow Riders. ''We have to fight for the future of our worlds and everyone else! If we don't…'' He looks at his hand, thinking of everyone in his world and he squeezes his hand tightly. ''Their smiles will be lost forever.''
Takeshi looks at the black Kuuga and oddly smiles at his response.
''Shocker or Dai-Shocker…'' He begins to say before becoming serious, walking up and standing beside Kuuga. ''I will not let you do as you want! Us, Kamen Riders, will stop you!''
The Dai-Shocker army charges as Takeshi and the other Showa Riders do their poses as they all shout with nearly all of their belts present. ''Hen-shin!''
They all transform as Takeshi is swallowed in green wind and emerges as the ironic Kamen Rider 1, Ichigo. Kuuga eyes him and actually gets excited as he expresses to him. ''Let's fight together, Ichigo!''
''Let's, Kuuga!'' Ichigo responds as the two charge forward as do the other Riders.
Black and Black RX, however, pauses, turning towards the castle as they could feel his presence and his power has grown massive.
Decade's group moves quickly through the interior of the castle, beating down any Dai-Shocker minions in their way.
''Absol!'' Leading the group, Layla barks as she's picked up Natsumi's scent.
''Good girl. We'll reach Natsumikan in no time!'' Decade praises her as they move quickly. Layla barks as she runs faster. She leads them inside a large round room.
Nothing special about the room as Layla runs to the exit until she panics, seeing a terrifying flash of a disaster. The vision terrified her of a Decade but it wasn't Dark Decade and she was there… dying but this Decade, he was in pain too. No… could it be she- However, she can't worry about that as she picks up a scent up ahead and she growls.
Jigglypuff blinks while Decade and Zi-O can almost feel someone coming. They look ahead of the front of the exit and see a figure walking towards them. Soon a man walks in and Decade recognizes him. ''Tsukikage.''
Layla growls worryingly, feeling that this man is not the same from all of their previous confrontations.
Tsukikage gazes his cold eyes towards only Decade as if the others don't even exist.
''You always find a way to ruin my life. First your parents, my true masters, then Lady Sayo's death…'' He begins to speak, insulting his former master for his actions. ''And then my world, my family and now you take my Lady once again!''
Decade doesn't respond as the butler then says at the so-called hero. ''Kamen Rider, you? Such a lie. You're nothing more but a destroyer. You destroy EVERYTHING!''
Layla growls at his cruel comment. Tsukasa is a lot of things but if there is one thing that is true and how wrong she was about it is his good heart. He does care for those around him and the worlds he goes into.
''… You done?'' Decade, however, asks him. Layla sweat drops, almost forgetting who she was defending. Then again, Tsukasa has accepted what and who he is and will still fight for others than himself.
Enraged by his response, expecting no less from a heartless individual, Tsukikage proclaims menacingly. ''I will be done with you by killing you and destroying everything you love!'' He performs a pose as the Shadow Moon belt manifests around his waist. ''BEHOLD! MY HENSHIN!'' The belt shines bright red, blinding everyone.
The light shines like radiated energy before dying out. Both riders and mons watch as he has become Shadow Moon but his armor is now bright red, wielding a slightly evolved Satansaber.
''This is the power of the Century King! Power above all!'' Shadow Moon declares proudly, a burst of energy flying out across his body. Layla sweats in horror by this power.
Decade just scoffs as he pulls out a Rider Card and says. ''More like you talk too much.'' He thrusts the card into the belt as he aims the Decadriver in gun form.
''ATTACK RIDE! BLAST!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade fires multiple, rapid fire magenta energy shots. Shadow Moon reflects the shots just as Zi-O pulls out the Zikan Girade in Gun form and takes aim, slotting in his Ridewatch into its slot.
''TIME CHARGE GO!'' The weapon announces as Zi-O fires his pink energy shots, blasting him along with Decade which manages to bypass Shadow Moon's reflection but all it does is cause sparks, taking almost no damage as he walks forward.
''He fazed through those?'' Zi-O utters in surprise. Decade doesn't care, switching his weapon into sword form and dunks a card into his belt.
''ATTACK RIDE! SLASH!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade charges as does Zi-O who flips and changes his weapon into sword form. Red Shadow Moon just walks as Decade swings first which he blocks with ease. Decade continues swinging with precise strikes but Shadow Moon deflects most as others hit him, sparks fly out and the sword bounces off. Zi-O gets behind the red Shadow Moon's back and swings his sword, slashing his back. Sparks fly out but Shadow Moon turns, still very unfazed.
Shadow Moon then spins around and releases a powerful crimson energy slash, blasting both riders onto the wall, cracking behind them.
''This is… unreal.'' Decade utters, pulling himself out of the wall as does Zi-O, both panting.
''I told you my power is above all, unparalleled even by you!'' Shadow Moon proudly announces of his new power, one that surpasses Decade.
Decade scoffs, pulling out the K-Touch; going to prove him wrong. He swaps the Decadriver with the K-Touch and 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's body begins to glow and transforms himself into his final form. ''DECADE! COMPLETE!''
Decade Complete comes at Shadow Moon with a powerful, magenta glowing fist but Shadow Moon catches it instantly.
''Nani?!'' Decade utters in shock as Shadow Moon then kicks him over and over, each strike hitting like a truck as sparks fly out across him before launching him back into the wall. Zi-O tries attacking him but Shadow Moon blocks his sword swing, even cracking and shattering his weapon. This shocks the rider as Shadow Moon then punches him once and it pushes and rolls across the ground.
Decade gets off the wall again, breathing heavily by the damage he took. This is unreal. He turns to Layla and commands for her help. ''Layla, Mega!''
''Absol!'' Layla barks with a frown, not able to Mega Evolve without the Mega Core that Natsumi has. Decade grunts of annoyance, actually forgetting about that. He looks back at Shadow Moon charging at him as he comments. ''Then stay back, Layla! I can take him.''
Layla nods as Decade charges forward, pressing the Den-O symbol on his K-Touch.
''DEN-O! KAMEN RIDE!'' The K-Touch begins to announce as manifesting beside him is Den-O's final form. ''LINER FORM!''
The two charge as Den-O summons rails and rides on them, his feet grinding like train tracks as he comes swinging with the DenKamen Sword but Shadow Moon swings once and slashes the holographic rider, dissolving him. However, this allows Decade to leap over him as he dunks a rider card.
''FINAL KAMEN RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as he changes into Agito's final form, performing a downward Rider Kick. ''AGITO SHINING!''
His foot connects, burning light shining through his kick but Shadow Moon simply swings his sword and it sends the transformed Decade through the wall.
''HIBIKI! KAMEN RIDE! ARMED!'' The Decadriver then announces as two burning lights are sent from the hole before two massive energy fiery blades thrust forward at Shadow Moon who blocks with his sword. Both Decade and a holographic Armed Hibiki emerge as the holographic rider pulls his sword forward and lets out a powerful shout through his guard, releasing a torrent of fiery waves at Shadow Moon. They stun him as Decade now slashes him with the enhanced flame Ride Booker… until Shadow Moon lets out a battle cry and red waves erupt across his body, knocking Decade back as well as shattering the holographic Hibiki.
Shadow Moon breathes heavily, getting annoyed as he walks up to Decade who taps on another Rider symbol on the K-Touch.
''BLADE! KAMEN RIDE! KING!'' The K-Touch announces as Blade King form manifests and Decade then thrusts a Rider Card.
''FINAL ATTACK RIDE!''The Decadriver announces as Decade and the holographic Blade cross their swords before they swing them in a slash swing, overlapping as they fire golden energy slashes through holographic cards. ''BLADE!''
Shadow Moon watches as the energy waves become a large x-shaped, coming his way and simply thrusting his sword forward and actually pierces through the combined attack. This shocks Decade as he barely struggles before Shadow Moon vanishes and reappears before Decade, slashing him and the holographic Blade. The summoned Rider dissolves while Decade grunts in pain, sparks flying out as Shadow Moon keeps slashing him over and over before he punches him into the ground.
Zi-O, pulling himself together, just watches this and yells in distress. ''Tsukasa!'' He quickly slides on his Ridewatch into the Zikan Girade before pressing its trigger button and comes charging.
''FINISH TIME!'' The Ziku Driver announces as Zi-O is coming at Shadow Moon who turns to swing at him but Zi-O dodges him. This allows Decade to get up and press another symbol on the K-Touch.
''FAIZ! KAMEN RIDE! BLASTER!'' The K-Touch announces as Faiz Blaster manifests and fires shots from his shoulder cannons at the distracted Shadow Moon, hitting him and causing some damage on his back.
This stuns him enough for Zi-O to hold his sword and comes swinging with a pink energy blade surrounding his weapon and swings it. ''ZI-O! TIME BREAK!'' His blade connects across Shadow Moon's chest and sparks fly out, trying to cut through Shadow Moon. Decade uses this chance to thrust a card into his belt before taking aim with the Ride Booker like a rifle as does Faiz with his massive blaster weapon.
''FINAL ATTACK RIDE! FAIZ!'' The Decadriver announces as the two fire a powerful red energy shot from their weapons at Shadow Moon's back, trying to pierce through him. Shadow Moon groans in pain from both ends. Layla and Jiggly both watch, certain that the two Riders have this.
However, Shadow Moon's visor eyes glow and his body erupts in red energy. His power increases as he shouts furiously, releasing a powerful red aura explosion that repels both Zi-O and Decade's attacks and even hits them backwards. The Faiz holographic rider is destroyed too as the two riders hit the ground hard, sparks still flying out of them.
''D-damn it…'' Decade utters weakly, struggling to get up only to suddenly get stomped by Shadow Moon, kicking him over and over, sparks flying out of him.
''Stand up, DECADE!'' Shadow Moon orders him coldly, his tone gripped tightly as if his anger is still burning up. Decade grunts, trying to move only to get kicked into the air as Shadow Moon thrust kicks him away back to the ground. ''STAND UP SO I CAN KILL YOU!''
Decade grunts in pain, pulling himself up but more sparks fly out. Shadow Moon looks at him and just snarls as he raises his sword at him.
''Now perish!'' He proclaims, swinging downward and fires a red beam of energy from its blade. Layla panics, about to jump in to intercept but suddenly Zi-O appears in between the damaged Decade and the energy slash as it hits him instead. He screams as washes all over him, sparks flying all over his body so much so that the left side of his mask cracks open. Decade watches this in distress, actually yelling out. ''SOUGO!''
Gasping, Zi-O holds his ground, burning steam floating out of his damaged suit. He hisses heavily, turning his head slowly towards Decade from the left, his visible eye showing, and he utters out weakly, struggling to speak at first. ''This… is... fine…''
Decade is shocked as Zi-O just snickers, rather happily, as if he knows his life is about to be cut down but he doesn't care.
''The Multiverse needs you, Tsukasa…'' Zi-O begins to tell him, believing only he can save all worlds and stop Dark Decade. ''You're their hero. Only you… have earned… that right.''
Shadow Moon growls as he comes at him but Zi-O quickly twirls his Ziku Driver before leaping up.
''FIN-ISH TI…ME!'' The partly damaged voice Ziku Driver announces as Zi-O performs his Rider Kick and comes at Shadow Moon, engulfed in pink energy. ''ZI-O! TI-ME BRE…AK!''
Shadow Moon swings his sword against the kick as the two collide, sparks flying across both attacks until he overpowers it and slashes him and the ground. The floor quakes and that portion of the ground and Zi-O are consumed in a crimson beam of light. Underneath his mask, Tsukasa widens his eyes in horror as Zi-O falls and vanishes within the light, leaving behind a dark abyss underneath them.
''…'' Clenching his fist tightly, Decade Complete quivers before he lets out a deep, painful cry as he holds his arm forward to the hole. ''SOUGO!'' He groans, slamming that same hand as a fist into the ground. He... he never... He never told him he wasn't a half-bad king.
Shadow Moon turns as Decade thrusts a card as he stands up, grunting in fury. He won't let this be the end for Sougo.
''FINAL KAMEN RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade transforms into Kabuto's final form. ''KABUTO HYPER!'' He quickly then dunks another card into his driver. ''ATTACK RIDE! HYPER CLOCK UP!''
He tries to vanish through Clock-Up but then sparks of electricity fly across him, actually damaging him and also shocking him. ''N-Nani?!''
''Trying to save him, Decade?!'' Decade looks ahead only to get slash by Shadow Moon again, sparks flying out across him. He proceeds to slash him again and again, more sparks flying out as he reveals. ''You think you can change his fate or yours?! How naïve! That will never happen and my sword will make sure you stay dead even with your powers to return from nothing!''
Decade isn't even fighting back as the Satansaber is causing too much damage for him to even respond.
''Now you will die by my blade and be erase from this existence!'' Shadow Moon shouts, swinging his blade and releases a destructive beam that explodes in contact of Decade. The last hit is too much as Decade reverts back to Tsukasa, hitting the ground as his face and most of his body is brushed up and even his head is bleeding partly.
Layla is speechless with a frightened face, never seeing Tsukasa losing this badly but also as her fear of a disaster is coming true more and more.
Stirring weakly, Tsukasa begins to try to stand up to Shadow Moon's annoyance.
''Standing back up? Why? For what he said?'' He questions him by Zi-O' sacrifice. Tsukasa doesn't answer, causing Shadow Moon to kick him and roll him away.
''You are no hero!'' Shadow Moon yells, coming at him and kicking him over and over, letting out all of his fury. ''You destroy lives, you extinguished worlds, you ruin all existence by merely being alive!''
Layla watches, gritting her fangs angrily to see the villain kicking Tsukasa more.
''YOU DON'T DESERVE TO LIVE!'' Shadow Moon starts screaming, his fury on full throttle as he stomps him harder and grind harder. ''YOU'RE EVIL AND THE DEVIL! YOU SHOULD HAVE DIED THAN SAYO!'' He soon kicks him hard to the wall, grunting in pain. ''Now I will send you to Hell where you belong!''
Tsukasa doesn't even fight back; he's too hurt both physically and emotionally. He's wrong… yet he's not.
Shadow Moon soon charges forward. Tsukasa grunts, watching with one eye as Shadow Moon gets close, thrusting his sword at his back only to suddenly get intercepted by Layla' horn, coated in Night Slash.
''ABSOL!'' Layla barks furiously, her eyes glowing, as she uses Megahorn. Shadow Moon blocks her attack and easily swipes her into the wall. He then swings a red energy slash that Layla blocks with Protect, stopping the attack.
Tsukasa grunts, his mouth bleeding as he tries to just barely get on one knee, watching as Layla charges at Shadow Moon, moving around with horn slashes but Shadow Moon easily parries her strikes or even evades them.
''Layla, stop it!'' Tsukasa orders her but the Absol disobeys, growling as she uses Night Slash but Shadow Moon slashes the attack and kicks the mon into the wall.
Jigglypuff charges too, wanting to help, as she comes at Shadow Moon with Double-Edge but he smacks her with his forearm without looking at her, bashing her onto the wall as she drops to the ground, fainted. He walks over to the pink puff, going to stab her until Layla dashes out of the hole and uses Megahorn again but Shadow Moon catches it and tosses her into the ground.
Tsukasa watches badly hurt as he yells at her to stop again, becoming more dreadful. ''I order you to stop! Don't-''
Immediately Layla stands back up, fangs showing, as she gazes at him and barks at him furiously. ''ABSOL-ABSOL-ABSOL!'' She yells that she's not going to stop because she won't- she refuses to let him die.
Those words hit Tsukasa hard, calming down his nerves as the Absol looks at him with an expressive, kind yet worrying stare towards him. It's been about a year since the two met and how she disliked him, even pretending to help him and Natsumi because of her real plans yet she's grown to them, even showing regret for her betrayal later. To her, this is her chance to pay him back for what she did to him. To show him... that they've become great partners.
''Layla…'' Tsukasa mutters as Layla smiles at him. ''Ab-'' Her words are suddenly cut off as Shadow Moon's sword cuts through her all while Tsukasa's eyes widened in horror. The Absol narrows her eyes with a painful expression and yet it doesn't surprise her; knowing this would happen.
Shadow Moon thrusts and slams the injured Absol across the wall, splatted and bleeding out. Layla breathes in agony as she's kicked and stomped by the enraged Shadow Moon.
''Stupid creature! Loyal to her devil master!'' He shouts furiously, beating her up while Tsukasa is forced to watch with a look of confusion, mainly because he thinks this is all a bad dream. ''Die like the rest of the trash!''
Layla doesn't struggle, her eyes gazing at Tsukasa before they become blank. That hit Tsukasa, widening his eyes in fury. So much hate building across his body, his heart, his soul. That mutt... she was family and he killed her.
Gritting his teeth, Tsukasa pulls himself up as he utters coldly. ''… You hurt my dog.''
Shadow Moon stops his beating on the poor Absol, looking towards him and declares. ''And you will join her in hell!'' He comes charging at him with a sword swing except he's kicked across the chest by Tsukasa's foot. It pushes him back, uttering in shock. ''W-what?''
He soon sees that Tsukasa is radiating a dark magenta aura around his body. Shadow Moon growls, swinging his sword but Tsukasa catches it by the wrist of his swinging sword hand.
It surprises him as Tsukasa begins saying with a firm, uncaring voice. ''… I've gave you many chances to let go of the past…'' He grits his teeth tightly as the grip he has on him tightens too harder and harder. ''But you killed my friend and my dog. I won't forgive you.''
Losing his calm composure and attitude, Tsukasa proceeds to punch Shadow Moon with his other hand as a fist, bashing him backwards with such strength as he screams out. ''I WON'T FORGIVE YOU FOR INSULTING MY FRIENDS, MY DOG AND MY SISTER'S MEMORIES!''
Swirls of dark magenta energy forms around the Rider Booker as a card, coated in the same energy, pops out of it and Tsukasa catches the card. It shows the face of Decade but it looks different but he didn't care what it looked like, thrusting it into the Decadriver's card slot.
''KAMEN RIDE!'' The Decadriver begins to announce. Shadow Moon quickly acts fast, swinging the Satansaber horizontal at him but Tsukasa blocks it with his right forearm, sparks flying out as his arm is already wrapped in the arm portion of the Decade suit. Tsukasa, with a menacing, enraged gaze utters out hatefully. ''Henshin…''
''DECADE…'' The Decadriver then finishes, fully transforming him into Decade except his helmet is different. The visor eyes appear more sinister in appearance, and the yellow light on Decade's helmet is now purple violet. ''VIOLENT EMOTION!''
A burst of dark magenta energy flows out of Decade, actually pushing Shadow Moon and across the room, trembling the whole building. He shakes it off but his arm is shaking, frightening. Again, he shakes it off as he comes swinging but Decade blocks it again with his forearm before he stomp-kicks Shadow Moon backwards.
Shadow Moon gasps in pain, grinding his feet onto the ground to stop himself but crotches slightly to touch his cracked stomach. That kick was… much more powerful than any precious attack.
He looks forward as Decade is just standing there, menacingly: Both of his arms are dangling downward and his head is not even facing him.
''W-where did that power come from?!'' He questions him angrily, not aware of this form. Decade does not answer him, still standing there with a murderous aura all around him.
Growling furiously, Red Shadow Moon comes at him with a red radiant fist but Decade, without looking, catches it with the palm of his left hand. This shocks the powered-up Shadow Moon, struggling to pull his fist off his hand as Decade squeezes it and causes immense pain to the villain. Decade then stomp kicks him again, even harder than before, which launches and crashes him onto the wall. Jiggly, lifting herself up, watches terrified by such power and rage Decade has.
Gasping as he pulls himself out of the wall, Red Shadow Moon touches his chest as he feels the cracks across his chest. That hit; it felt horrific like the power of that punch is bottomless.
''Doesn't this please you?'' Shadow Moon looks ahead, watching as Decade is walking towards him, slowly yet menacing as his visor eyes and forehead light glows eerie.
''Is this not what you see of me? The Devil? The Destroyer?'' Decade begins to ask him, walking closer to Shadow Moon who swings a sword slash but Decade blocks his forearm and repels it back with ease and then punches him again but Shadow Moon leaps backwards. He then pulls out a Rider Card and slides it in normally rather than dunking it. "I'm only getting started."
''ATTACK RIDE! CLOCK UP!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade suddenly vanishes and appears in front of Shadow Moon in the very slow time, unleashing a barrage of punches. This staggers Shadow Moon as he's assaulted by these insane punches and unable to evade or move away. Decade shows no mercy, punching him over and over and over, harder and harder, until his last punch cracks and breaks one of Shadow Moon's visors and most of the mask helmet. His right eye reveals open as Decade then kicks him into the air. Time slows normally as Shadow Moon now shrieks in pain, multiple sparks flying out from all the punches before he crashes onto the ground.
Decade doesn't even wipe his hands together as he walks up to the damaged Shadow Moon, sparks still flying out as he groans in pain.
''Get up.'' Decade orders him coldly, grabbing him by the collar neck and literally picks him up as he punches him with his other hand, over and over, as multiple sparks flying out of the damaged Shadow Moon. Jiggly watches this in dismay to see Tsukasa so aggressive, showing no mercy.
''N-no more… please…'' Begging like a coward, Shadow Moon pleads for his life. Enraged by his begging, not going to forgive him; Decade knee-kicks him so hard across the gut that it launches Shadow Moon into the air.
''Then you've said your last words.'' Decade proclaims coldly, holding a Rider Card and inserts it into his driver, pushing its levers forward.
''FINAL ATTACK RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as the holographic cards manifest and move upward in a row, aiming towards Shadow Moon. Decade soon jumps and somersaults, performing a Rider Kick as he's flying right at Shadow Moon and kicks upon him. ''DECADE!'' His body vanishes through the holographic card before reappearing behind him and kicks his back.
Shadow Moon gasps in pain as Decade pressures his kick harder, engulfed in dark magenta energy. The damaged villain can only scream in agony before he lets out a horrific scream. ''DAMN YOU! DAMN YOU MASTER-'' His words are cut off as Decade kicks through and Shadow Moon screams one last time, exploding in a small violent explosion, shaking and even tearing apart the foundations of the room.
Decade lands on the ground, not even turning around as a piece of Shadow Moon's mask hits the ground, confirming his destruction.
''I never wish to see you again, Tsukikage.'' Decade proclaims before he reverts back to Tsukasa. He breathes heavily as he eyes his hand, trembling of terror. He's… he's never killed anyone with such hate and emptiness. No, he did it for Sougo, for- He soon widens his eyes, yelling. ''Layla!''
He turns around and prepares to run to his Absol's aid only to see that Dragonic is already there, having beaten him to her side. His claws are over Layla's body, healing the wounds instantly with his magic. She begins to wake up, smiling as she's feeling better now as even her blood stain fades away.
''Don't worry, she's a loyal Absol who wouldn't die so easily.'' Dragonic explains with a smile, relief he came to save her.
Layla blushes red, finally admitting that maybe she does see Tsukasa as her master, her partner… and her egoistic idiot too. Tsukasa looks back at her, smiling in relief before he becomes mad towards the dragon and yells at him. ''What took you so damn long, Dragonic?! Sougo, he-''
''I know.'' Dragonic quickly intercepts him, finishing in healing Layla as he floats up and turns around to eye Tsukasa with a small frown. ''I felt him. I'm sorry but it's not too late for him.''
Tsukasa looks away from him, feeling… bad for yelling at him. He shouldn't have. Tsukikage has gotten to him. He looks back at the dragon and asks him with a calmer voice. ''Can you search for him?''
Dragonic doesn't answer him, pausing before he finally does tell him. ''… I'll try but if I can't find his body; he can still come back.''
''I could just use Hyper Clock-Up to-'' Tsukasa begins suggesting about becoming Decade Complete to use Kabuto Hyper's power to time travel but immediately Dragonic stops him and advises him. ''Not everything can be solved by reversing time. Trust me, you don't want the time-space continuum to crack open.''
Tsukasa looks at the dragon and he oddly believes him. He isn't why but Dragonic hasn't lied to him about this kind of stuff.
''Save Natsumi-chan. I'll catch up as fast as possible. I promise this time.'' The dragon then tells him, smiling as he trusts him to save their comrade.
Tsukasa looks at him quietly and just smiles, planning to save her. He frowns a little, looking at the hole that Sougo may have… no, this isn't the time. He eyes the dragon nodding as he walks towards the exit.
''Absol!'' He suddenly stops, turning to see Layla, getting up, barks at him that she's coming because they're family. That… hit Tsukasa differently. He really doesn't want to lose her again but the mutt is stubborn; just as stubborn as any human like Natsumi, Kaito, even himself.
Tsukasa just cracks a small smirk before he accepts her company, petting her head. ''Let's go then, Layla.''
Layla soon blushes, wagging her tail. Tsukasa looks at Jigglypuff and tells her as well. ''And you too, puff ball.''
Jiggly blinks but tries to smile, crying out. ''Jiggly.''
Tsukasa nods as he runs forward with the other two following right behind him. Dragonic watches the three leaving as he sighs, looking at the hole that Zi-O likely dropped in but he doesn't check down there. He instead turns his back and looks at the dark shadow corner of the room where he sees a figure in the darkness.
''So… This is a good time for us to talk…'' The purple dragon begins to say, adjusting his fedora hat downward as he makes a serious face. ''Huh, Demon King.''
The Great Leader sits calmly on his throne, hearing the fight going outside and it isn't bothering him in the slightest. What did bother him is that he sensed the destruction of Shadow Moon. He sighs, deeply irritated that he can't get any good help.
''… Shadow Moon has failed me.'' He expresses disappointment.
''May you let me to handle him?'' Junichi offers himself to deal with Decade. The Great Leader doesn't even look or narrow his eyes towards him, pausing for a moment before he answers him. ''… Go ahead, Junichi.''
Junichi smirks as he walks out from the shadows and heads to the door to leave the room but not before the Great Leader warns him coldly. ''Don't disappoint me too.''
This staggers the older Kaito before he smirks and walks out. The Great Leader sits alone now, pondering that soon he will become the one true Decade and then the strongest Rider forever.
Tsukasa, Layla and Jiggly move quickly throughout the long hallway of the Dai-Shocker castle as the Absol is tracking down Natsumi's scent.
''Absol!'' Layla barks, informing Tsukasa that they're closer to Natsumi though she does detect more unfamiliar scents, no doubt enemy scents.
''Yea, we should be-'' Tsukasa begins to agree that they're going to confront more enemies here but before he can say it, Layla's eyes glow and immediately tackles Tsukasa out of the way as she twirls around and unleashes a spinning Night Slash slashes from her horns, claws and tail to repel an energy shot and cut it in half. Jiggly panics as Tsukasa stands up, amazing she pulled that off.
''Your Pokémon has good reflex and predicatively.'' Tsukasa looks ahead and sees a figure in the dark, walking out to reveal to be Junichi. He glares, questioning this new enemy. ''Who are you?''
Smirking as he rubs the bottom of his gun, Junichi responds with a small smirk. ''I believe you met my little brother, Daiki.''
Tsukasa gives a glare, now getting Kaito's whole deal.
''And your little journey ends.'' Junichi proclaims, holding up a Rider Card and inserts it into his gun, loading it much like the Diendriver.
''KAMEN RIDE.'' The Dark Diendriver begins to announce itself as Junichi raises the gun over his head and smiles, proclaiming calmly. ''Henshin.''
He fires a shot that splits into 3 and begins to transform similar to Diend but the 3 reflecting lights are dark and overlap him, becoming a black Diend. ''DARK DIEND!''
''So Kaito has a brother huh?'' Tsukasa questions out loud, standing back up as he orders his Absol partner. ''Layla, behind me.''
Layla barks as she guards Jigglypuff, knowing only Tsukasa can fight these foes.
Tsukasa reveals his Decadriver already on his waist as he says. ''I don't have time playing your damn games…'' He pulls out the evil Decade Rider Card and thrusts it in, announcing. ''Time to be destroyed. Henshin.'' He pushes the levers forward as the belt glows.
''KAMEN RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Tsukasa transforms into the more violent Decade form. ''DECADE! VIOLENT EMOTION!''
Layla stares, awed by the new form while Jigglypuff gulps, wishing he doesn't use it.
Dark Diend hums, not expecting this as he fires shots at him. Decade dodges around them, coming at him only for Dark Diend to dash much faster in front of him. He manages to fire a pinpoint shot across Decade's chest only for Dark Diend to get punched back by Decade. The two are pushed back by the other's attacks, sparks flying out but withstood them rather well.
Decade touches his chest and he barely feels any damage while Dark Diend hits a wall hard.
''Figures.'' He tells himself, confirming if he was instead as base Decade or Decade Complete; this darker Diend would tank that punch with ease and likely counterattack and he would have taken the worst damage too.
''Jiggly!'' Jigglypuff cries out at him to not use that form for how aggressive he was. Decade eyes her and just gives her a thumb up, telling her. ''I'm good. I'm pissed but I'm me. Right now, beating him is my only concern!''
Jiggly just groans but sighs, nodding. Layla also nods, trusting in Tsukasa to end things quickly.
Scoffing by this damage, Dark Diend proclaims confidently. ''I will not allow you to get past me.'' He fires more shots than Decade walks around as he pulls out a Rider Card. Dark Diend does the same loading it just as Decade thrusts his card into his belt.
''ATTACK RIDE!'' Both drivers announce as Dark Diend takes aim and fires rapid dark energy shots similar to Diend's signature attack. ''DARK DIEND BLAST!''
''ATTACK RIDE! TIME VENT!'' The Decadriver, however, announces as the bullets immediately freeze up in mid-air before flying backwards and return into the barrel and then the chamber of the Dark Diendriver. This shocks him as Decade, walking calmly towards him, slides in another Rider Card.
''ATTACK RIDE! THIEF CHAMELEON!'' The Decadriver announces as green light shines in Decade's right hand, copying and manifesting Dark Diend's Dark Diendriver. Decade immediately fires a barrage of bullets, mercifulness shooting down the black Diend. Sparks fly across Dark Diend, allowing Decade to thrust another card after discarding the fake weapon.
''ATTACK RIDE! DARKNESS VEIL!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade summons and unleashes Dark Kiva's dark red energy bat attack from his very shadow, ramming themselves like blades upon Dark Diend before he's blasted into a wall, crashing through it.
Layla is speechless as this is the first time to see Tsukasa fight with this form and it's dominating badly.
Decade stands there, knowing the fight isn't over as chuckling is heard and Dark Diend walks out, brushing off the damage he took.
''You're really strong, almost like my Great Leader.'' He expresses to Decade's annoyance, snarling. Dark Diend was hoping this fight wouldn't be boring and now he gets to have fun, taking aim at his weapon. ''But you'll still die here.''
Decade doesn't care, going to beat him here and then. Dark Diend prepares to attack until a shot hits him, pushing him back with sparks flying out.
This surprises everyone with Decade slowly turns around and immediately reverts back to normal. Tsukasa stares at the one who shot the enemy: Daiki with Selina on top of his left shoulder, waving at him and Layla.
''Kaito.'' Tsukasa utters out, not at all surprised to see him here. Daiki smirks at his rival, twirling his Diendriver as he speaks up. ''Yo Tsukasa-san, you mind if I have this dance with my Onii-san?''
Natsumi sighs, sitting impatiently in her cell as she can hear the fighting still going on from outside. She frowns, hoping Tsukasa is okay-
''Sorry… Took…'' She startles, turning forward to see Doctor Shinigami has returned, breathing heavily as he's drinking a bottle of alcohol. ''I must drink this to feel better but even this is-''
She stands up from her chair and immediately questions him. ''Why did you act strange all of a sudden?''
The Fangire just stands there, as if reliving something in his mind. Natsumi notices it but before she can ask if he's okay; he snaps out and answers her, rather hesitantly. ''I've always… had this problem since the incident.''
''Incident?'' Natsumi utters puzzled. The Fangire nods as he reveals to her. ''Believe it or not, I was once a human but I became this when I needed to experiment on a device that was meant to save the life…'' His words trail into nothing when he stares at her eyes and he turns away, almost not able to look at her as he continues with a grim tone. ''The life of my granddaughter.''
Natsumi is silent, not aware of that.
''It backfired and I still lost her.'' The Fangire expresses, still finding that as one of his greatest losses. He soon snickers, praising the man that didn't fail his granddaughter. ''That's why I'm envious of your grandfather. He managed to save you while I couldn't.''
''…'' Natsumi just stares quietly, not following. Kiva-la sighs, hoping she wouldn't learn the truth so she hopes that she's ready for it.
Doctor Shinigami immediately chuckles deeply as he questions her. ''I see! You don't know that hmm? He never told you that you would have died if not for him.''
Natsumi just looks at him even more puzzled, not understanding what he's referring to.
''W-what do you mean by that? How do you know all of this?'' She asks extremely confused, not even aware of that. Snickering, the Fangire approaches up to the barrier separating them.
''I know this because I lived a similar life to your grandfather.'' Doctor Shinigami slowly admits, revealing his real- his former life to her. ''After all, I was once named Eijiro Hikari too.''
Staring at him with an empty, silent gaze, Natsumi slowly widens her eyes in shock and disbelief.
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) Like I said, I never watched the Showa Era (I will hopefully do so with Black to later watch Black Sun) and why I didn't do a Tales of the Decade with A.R version of the Showa Riders (would be easy for Amazon, Black and Black RX due to the TV series but that's it) … that doesn't mean I wouldn't add them for a bit in this story though. It's nice to add Kamen Rider 1 (or Ichigo) and Kuuga fighting together.
3) Didn't know Shadow Moon had a power-up form (and there's more too) so this worked for me!
4) Oh no, Sougo's dead… Hope he isn't. And don't say "GOOD". No main Rider deserves to die and likely never come back *eyes both Tsukasa and Eiji* SIGH.
5) ALRIGHT… Let's talk about the elephant in the room. I've mentioned the Movie War 2010 aka DecadexW crossover or "Decade's Last Chapter" movie and how people were expecting this to close the page to Decade's current story and not make more plot holes but that's not what this is about. Let's talk about Violent Emotion.
Decade Violent Emotion, appearing in the Crossover movie, is like the "False Super Saiyan" form for Decade when Tsukasa accepts his role as Destroyer of Worlds (also considered as a Dark Rider too). This Decade is a monster, a literal destroyer. He's able to one-shot multiple Riders, even go toe-to-toe against Dark Ultimate Kuuga and kill him. He has access to any Rider Card, even non-main riders and his power is all about destruction. Tsukasa does lose the form after he was killed but we'll talk about how later.
But is this form stronger than Decade Complete? Yes. I'm going with that canon theory with how the movie went and what Tsukasa's actor, Masahiro Inoue (Actor, Signer, Youtuber… CEO, yes, that's a thing so Tsukasa should be a CEO too!) has stated Violent Emotion should be stronger than Decade Complete, even Neo Decade (IFFY ON THAT) but we'll talk about that later too.
So for Tales of the Decade, I made Violent Emotion a Dark Super Form for Tsukasa that awakened due to these events, through hate and vengeance. Much like the canon version; Violent Emotion is stronger than Decade Complete (for the most part it hits harder) and has access to any ability with said Rider Card like Time Vent or Dark Kiva's powers. In this form, Tsukasa is aggressive, hateful and cold; a literal destroyer whose job is to destroy his enemies. Of course, he's in control of himself and since his powers are in control; he's not accidentally causing the destruction of the Kamen Rider Multiverse. I will say that Tsukasa likely isn't a fan of this form since it draws out his destructive, dark nature and power more than being a "hero" like Natsumi sees in him. So he wouldn't use this form all the time and only when he's pissed off. So be warned; you make Tsukasa mad, he will destroy you utterly.
6) I did say Natsumi's grandfather in the TV series was a member of Dai-Shocker right? Well here's his Negative version being such! More will be explained next time.
Sorry for the late upload, stuff.
The chapter was good in my opinion, dramatic as heck.
We are nearing the end of this journey, just a few more chapters to go.
Anyway, see you all next week with well… you'll see! Let's call it: Confrontations.
