This is Chapter 5 of Tales of the Decade Second Season. Please enjoy it like a fan for Kamen Rider.
Chapter 5: The World of Compet-itive Riva-lry!
The Hikari Studio soon manifests in a seemingly peaceful location. The backdrop of the studio shows the image of a rocket flying into deep space with a small space station on the moon.
Walking out of the building, Dragonic smirks who declares, eating a bowl of rice. ''Welcome to the World of Fourze!''
Natsumi walks out behind him and she as well as Layla gasps astonished by the large station before them, resembling some kind of academy but their focus is towards the spaceship behind the main building.
''Is this a space station?!'' She gasps out in awe. Dragonic smirks as he says. ''Oh yes. This is Amanogawa Station.''
''So they're all astronauts?'' Tsukasa asks, walking in as he's wearing some kind of orange jumpsuit-like uniform. The purple dragon hums as he explains it. ''It's more like a space program for young students to get the chance to enter in the NASA program.''
Tsukasa hums, now getting the gist.
''What are you wearing, Tsukasa-san?'' Natsumi then asks, astonished by the outfit he's wearing. Layla barks in agreement. Tsukasa eyes himself and theorizes. ''Seems I'm a new student here.''
''Lucky!'' She expresses with a small smile. He eyes her and smirks, taunting her. ''Would you enjoy living in space, Natsumikan.''
Natsumi staggers with a red cheeky face and corrects him, embarrassed. ''N-No! I mean teaching others or well…'' She blushes, staggered by her words but Tsukasa guesses it. ''Zero Gravity?''
She blushes, wondering what it feels like in no gravity. That would be something else. Tsukasa hums and smirks, promising her. ''I'll try to get you a chance to try it for yourself.''
Natsumi just smiles widely yet happily, hoping to try it. Sougo then reminds him. "Remember the quest."
Tsukasa rolls his eyes. The group walks inside the surroundings of the station, looking around. They overhear a group of students talking about the students that have gone missing. Tsukasa listens to these rumors and checks out other students to learn of the same rumor that a monster is doing this.
''Seems there are rumors of monsters attacking students and the same students going missing.'' Sougo summarizes the rumors they learned. Not even the faculty of the station has any response to these rumors.
Tsukasa doesn't say much as he's already forming his own theory to these mysterious attacks and missing students. But one thing is clear, proclaiming. ''Guess we know who's behind this.''
Natsumi blinks, thinking for a moment and asks him. ''Why would Dai-Shocker bother?''
''From one rumor, there was also a black suited, mask figure helping the monsters.'' Tsukasa informs her.
''A Rider?'' She questions him. He isn't sure yet but It's worth finding out.
''Utahoshi-san, wait!'' The group turns to a male student dragging another student by her hand wrist, telling her in a hurry. ''Come on Yuki! Today are the tests and I've been training for our class to win this!''
He runs faster while pulling her forward. Natsumi blinks with Sougo stating with a small smile. ''He seems pretty competitive for whatever is happening over there.''
''Like a man who brag about being the one who stands over the heavens would put it that his Grandma taught him: The victor is decided by the one who believes is the true victor.'' Tsukasa begins to state, raising his right hand up to the sky, over the bright sun behind him.
''You mean Soji Tendo?'' Natsumi begins to ask, feeling like that's something he would say. No reply.
''Tsukasa-san?'' She calls out to him, turning and Tsukasa is gone. She panics as Dragonic taps her shoulder with his tail and tells her. ''There he goes.'' He points his right finger-claw at Tsukasa just walking inside the building.
''Absol.'' Layla mutters, having a bad feeling his ego will get in the way.
''Jiggly!'' Jigglypuff cries, readying her microphone for a good song but Natsumi grabs her and squeezes her happily, causing the mon to moan softly.
''Let's catch up to him before he gets full of himself.'' Dragonic suggests with everyone in agreement. Natsumi eyes Kiva-la above her and asks with a small smile. ''Coming, Kiva-la?''
''Of course, Natsumi-chan~'' Kiva-la proclaims eagerly, flying right above the group
Walking inside the station and showing his badge card to confirm he is a student here, Tsukasa learns that all the students are going to be tested on their skills to gain a new rank close to becoming an astronaut. He joins, knowing he'll get clues on these missing students.
Tsukasa joins part of Team F to his disappointment as Team A is a group of friends seemingly. Among them are the two he spotted, the eager, confident male student and the girl who chased after him.
Soon the teams gather together to stare upon the stage towards a few older people, mainly the professors and the one in charge.
''Welcome students!'' An older man speaks up with a smile, revealing himself. ''I am the owner of the station and I supposed your headmaster for those who didn't know.'' He then presents his partner. ''And this is my co-president, Hayami.''
''How is everyone doing?'' The man, Hayami, asks his student with a charming smile and bow. Everyone nods except Tsukasa with his arms crossed.
''Excellent!'' Hayami expresses. He explains each of the 6 teams will compete and the team with the most points wins, getting 50% of their remaining grades but also the best one of their group will join the special program to begin the real training to become an astronaut.
''But first we have two new students joining us.'' The owner proclaims Tsukasa's confusion. ''Two?''
Natsumi and the others watch from afar as Tsukasa is asked to walk on top of the stage.
''Present yourself.'' Hayami tells him as Tsukasa smirks. He walks forward and announces overconfidence. ''I'm the one who will take my team to victory.'' Everyone stares in such dismay and awe with Tsukasa adding uncaring. ''That's all.''
He soon steps out of the stage with most of the girls aroused by his bad boy nature.
''And as for the other-'' Hayami begins to say, announcing until an energetic voice shouts. ''WATCH OUT!''
Everyone turns or rather looks up to see someone falling off the sky from the higher floor. They all panic as this person is swinging through a rope and jumps off it, landing precisely on the stage.
Standing up, the young man is wearing a delinquent Yankee-like appearance by wearing a short black jacket over a red T-shirt and black baggy pants, with his hair in a pompadour hairstyle. He smiles as he announces himself, lifting his right fist upon everyone in front of him. ''The name is Gentaro Kisaragi and from this day on, you are all my friends!''
Everyone is utterly speechless by this guy… well almost everyone. Tsukasa just looks at this kid and he looks like a thug... BY APPEARANCE. This kid is more friendly than Yusuke.
''… I'll pass.'' Tsukasa openly proclaims to Gentaro's horror, turning around with a freaked out expression as he utters. ''P-P-Pass?!''
Natsumi sweat drops as some things don't change.
With things said, the group split up into their teams and Tsukasa learns his Team, Team F, is obviously the weakest and that weirdo Gentaro while Team A is the best of the best.
''So Team A is tough huh?'' Tsukasa mutters, rather unimpressed. One of the teammates explained that each one of them makes a ''well oil machine. The ''leader'' Miu, the strength Shun, the swift Kaizo or JK as most call him by his rapping, the smart Tomoko, the agile Ryusei, the group spirit Yuki and the actual leader Utahoshi. Together, they have never lost.
Letting out a chuckle, Tsukasa calls him off of such an assumption. ''Any team will lose when it comes to us.''
''But we're the worst team.'' Another person speaks up disappointed, knowing they're going to lose.
Tsukasa eyes this person and tells her with a confident smirk. ''You were until now.'' He's already come up with his plan to uncover the mystery of this world.
''Because they have us, right?'' Gentaro speaks up with a grin, holding his arm on Tsukasa's shoulder. Making a disturbing face, Tsukasa quickly pushes Gentaro's arm off his shoulder. "Whatever you say, Mr. Sunshine." He says sarcastically.
Gentaro makes a face, not following that nickname but he smiles as he likes sunshine.
''But I think you need more help, Tsukasa-san.'' Tsukasa staggers as he turns around to see Kaito right behind him, waving hello. Tsukasa glares annoyed.
Not only him but Selina is next to Natsumi and the others as she waves towards Layla with her paw, grinning. Layla growls calmly with Natsumi sweat dropping.
''… You're going to steal something, aren't you Kaito?'' Tsukasa questions him, knowing how he thinks better than anyone. Daiki just grins, knowing he'll get what he wants either way.
Rolling his eyes as he'll need all the help anyway, Tsukasa sadly accepts it. ''Fine. You can help.''
''Then we can be friends too!'' Gentaro then asks him with a small grin. Daiki eyes him and just smiles, accepting the offer of friendship. ''Of course, friend.'' He raises his hand to shake him.
Gentaro smirks as he accepts the hand shake but Tsukasa stops him immediately.
"Don't be friends with a thief." He advises him, not going to let another idiot fall for him. Gentaro sweat drops, not following but nods. Daiki sighs, shrugging his shoulders.
The competition commences as most of the teams failed with the tests that most astronauts would have done, except Team A… and to everyone's surprise Team F too. Nearly all of the students can't believe how many wins Team F got, especially by their leader. Tsukasa's leadership is powerful, leading his weak teammates to the best of their abilities on top of Gentaro's own skills and Daiki's.
''That guy is a monster.'' JK mutters, horrified by that guy. Shun nods, very staggered too.
''How is he able to overcome each test so quickly?'' Miu complains how fast his lead moves so fast.
''It's like… he's done this before and yet this is his first time.'' Tomoko theorizes with Ryusei quiet, eyeing their captain.
''I'm not going to lose to him.'' Clinching his right hand, Utahoshi vows determinedly. Yuki eyes him with a look of concern.
Team F has never felt so happy how they're able to achieve so much all thanks to their new leader.
''Captain, you're amazing!'' One of them expresses as another asks. ''Have you done these tests before?''
''Simple for a prodigy such as I.'' Tsukasa proclaims with a confident smirk. Dragonic overhears that, sweat dropping.
Soon it came down to the last team with Gentaro declaring excitedly. ''Yosh! One more to complete!''
The last test is a red alert simulation of a spaceship losing control while reentering Earth's orbit. Each team enters a fake spaceship control room to do the simulation. The captains are each sitting in the center of the room.
''If both teams are ready…'' Hayami begins to announce as he raises his hand up. ''May the simulation commence!''
Immediately both rooms begin to flash red lights with high, ringing alarms. The screen shows a simulation of their ship descending rapidly downward to the Earth as well as the room shaking and feeling intense heat like the real deal.
Nearly all of Team F are freaking out by this as if this is the real deal but Tsukasa is in full control, ordering those driving the ship. ''Get the ship under control! Redirect all power to the engines.''
They panic as they check their system and one of them informs him. ''If we do that, we'll have no oxygen!''
''We'll reach orbit before we lose all of it! Do it!'' Tsukasa still orders them, willingly to take the risk for the stake of surviving. They do so and at first it establishes their fall but then one of them informs as the room shakes heavily.
''Captain, the engines are failing!'' One of them shouts in horror. Tsukasa figures as much as he now orders them calmly. ''… Deactivate the engines.''
This shocks them but Tsukasa gives them a look. They gulp, deactivating them but the ship is accelerating faster.
''We'll be descending too fast!'' One of them warns their captain. Tsukasa is aware and smirks as everything is going according to plan.
''Not if we do the following.'' He begins to say as he instructs them. ''Raise the angle of the ship 90° degrees so the bottom is facing down to the Earth and focus all the cooling system onto that bottom. Then maintain it and once we reach just above the atmosphere, reactivate the engines but to the front and bottom!''
''W-what if the engines don't work.'' One of them asks in a panic. Tsukasa crosses his arms and proclaims. ''Then you all take the emergency shuttle and I'll take full control of the ship so I can crash the ship to a place no one but I will die.''
This shocks everyone but Daiki who smirks, not surprised by his response.
''B-But-'' One of them utters nervously but Tsukasa tells him firmly. ''I'm your captain. It is my job to ensure my crew to come back home.''
This all surprises them, not sure how to feel but a sense of duty to not fail him.
''Y-Yes captain!'' They proclaim proudly, not wanting to fail him. They operate the controls, taking back stabilizing to the ship as the room shakes more violently and heating up.
''Steady…'' Tsukasa orders them, keeping his eyes on the moment to activate the engines. Gentaro helps, gripping his hold on the controls while Daiki is about to turn on the engines on Tsukasa's command.
Everyone does their parts as does Tsukasa, waiting until he sees on the screen that they enter the atmosphere and immediately shouts. ''Now!'' Immediately they activate the engines at full blast and begin to slow down the descent, establishing control back to them.
''A-ALL SYSTEMS ARE GOOD!'' One of the crew shouts astonished. Soon the ship lands in the ocean, succeeding the simulation with the flashing screen. "SIMULATION SUCCESS!"
Every other team, including Team A, are speechless while Team F cheer for their victory, especially for their ingenious leader. Even Gentaro tries to high five him… but Tsukasa refuses naturally.
"Absol!" Layla barks in relief that Tsukasa pulled that off. Natsumi smiles as Tsukasa wouldn't have pulled off such calmness and selfless command if not for Dragonic's training he had with him. She recalls all the time Dragonic taught him about mediation and about trusting his life to others, knowing they will return the favor.
''I think you're training with Tsukasa-kun made him more selfless.'' Natsumi questions Dragonic with a smile. The dragon hums about that, simply replying with a small grin. ''You think so? Maybe, or maybe this was always in him.''
Natsumi giggles, knowing he's being humble about it.
Team A is surprised by this but Utahoshi is horrified. The simulation is one that astronauts always take in to harness their skills. That's what his father used to do but he could NEVER beat it and this guy, this nobody could?! This gets under Utahoshi's skin, needing- no, wanting to win now more than ever.
It is now Team A's turn and it turns into a disaster. Utahoshi's leadership was absent, only demanding everyone to let him pilot the ship alone, doing all the other tasks other than observing the conditions of the ship. This only got worse when he tried to use the engines at full power and it screwed him over.
''NO-NO-NO!'' He yells out in horror, trying to fix the engines all by himself but they break and the ship crashes and the screen flashes. ''SIMULATION FAILURE.''
''Sorry, Team A; but you failed the simulation.'' The owner proclaims with a sad expression. He changes his face to Team F, congratulating them. ''Team F, you have done the impossible. Well done from all of you.'' He then eyes Tsukasa, praising his leadership. ''Especially you, young man. Only a real captain would risk their own life for their comrades.''
Tsukasa just gives him a nod as he narrows his eyes towards Natsumi. He would risk his life.
''Give big applause to our winners, Team F!'' Hayami declares, applauding Team F. Everyone did so, even Team A… except Utahoshi who clinches his hands tightly.
Watching above in the rooftops of the station, two figures watch Tsukasa being congratulated by Natsumi and the others without their awareness.
''So that is Decade?'' One of the figures says; a young lady wearing a dark elegant shrouded dress with a hood covering all but her mouth. ''He resembles him a lot.''
Next to her is Tsukikage, glaring with a look of disgust towards his former master. He turns to her and asks her, bowing down to her. ''My Princess, please let me kill this demon. He-''
''Do not engage him.'' Staggering by her words, he looks at his "princess" as she warns him. ''I wish to see why the Great Leader wants him dead so badly. He might serve his usefulness against Dark Decade.''
He glares at such a thing. He is not one to be trusted and he doesn't want her near him.
Giggling, the mysterious girl proclaims with a small smile. ''I will return to finish the last touches to this world's conquest. Do behave, Tsukikage-san.'' She strolls away rather playfully.
Tsukikage watches her leave as his fists clenched tightly. He turns back to Tsukasa down below, vowing to him. ''… I will kill you before my princess meets you.''
He soon walks away quickly, going to make that promise a reality.
Tsukasa is just sitting on a bench, his left leg resting on the lap of his right and both arms behind his back. He hums, rather relaxed as Dragonic has suddenly appeared sitting next to eat, eating a bowl of rice.
''So the one in charge of this special program is a foreign princess.'' Tsukasa proclaims, learning of the one behind these exams as some unknown benefactor that is a princess of a faraway land. The only reason he knows this is that he was accepted by the owner of this chance to learn from the best of astronauts. He didn't decline as this works for his benefit.
''Dai-Shocker?'' Dragonic questions, already assuming this princess is an agent of their enemy. Tsukasa nods, affirming his suspicions. ''Without a doubt. The students that were attacked and have gone missing are the best of their teams, all except those from Team A.''
''And you purposely out beat everyone, including Team A, to become the new target.'' Dragonic assumes, realizing what Tsukasa's intention was. Tsukasa smirks a bit, causing the dragon to grin softly. ''You amaze me sometimes. Reckless but damn brilliant.''
''Oh, that was the plan!'' Tsukasa staggers, looking up to see Gentaro, smiling at him. He glares, turning to Dragonic hoping he's gone but the dragon is gripping on his back, by his shoulders like some kind of a backpack. Clever… if not humiliating for him.
''And why are you following me, Mr. Sunshine?'' Tsukasa asks the weirdo who asks him about Team A's leader. ''Well I wanted to ask you if you thought it was weird how Utahoshi acted, right?''
Tsukasa oddly smirks as this idiot isn't like his Yusuke after all.
''I have. He's just jealous to lose…'' He expresses, having a moment to reflect if Utahoshi could be behind the missing students.
''Pretty sure Kenjo was never the type to-'' Gentaro begins referring to someone until something leaps from above them, coming down mainly towards Tsukasa. However, he senses this presence which pushes Gentaro out of the way and moves backwards by leaping.
''Woah!'' Gentaro shouts, rolling away and standing up quickly to see a grasshopper-like monster having thrown a spear at where they were. But what's important is that he recognizes this monster. Tsukasa dodges the swinging punches of the monster, evading expertly with such precision. Gentaro jumps in between, kicking the monster back.
''A Grasshopper Zodiarts?!'' Gentaro utters in surprise with Tsukasa giving him a suspicious gaze. He sweat drops, explaining it to Tsukasa. ''They're monsters one can become with the Zodiarts Switch.''
''Switch?'' Tsukasa mutters, unaware of such a thing. Right now, he has to worry about the monster in front of-
He's completely unaware that Tsukikage, now transformed as Shadow Moon, is right behind him with the Satansaber.
''Welcome to your grave, Master Tsukasa.'' Shadow Moon declares, swinging his sword right at his back before he can even react. "Now you will-" But as his sword is about to slash Tsukasa's back, he doesn't realize that the "backpack" was Dragonic and his tail immediately intercepts and wraps itself around the blade. This surprises Shadow Moon, still swinging forward but the tail's scales coil and grips onto the blade with ease to his dismay.
''What in the?'' He utters as the tail then pulls downward and slams the villain onto the ground head first. Then it pulls him upward, releasing its grip and immediately smacks him hard onto a wall.
Dragonic snickers as Tsukasa turns around calmly and eyes the villain, smirking as he taunts him. ''Oh. It's just you, Tsukikage-san. I'm not surprised to see you here.''
''Let me guess, kidnapping strong potential students to brainwash them to work for Dai-Shocker?'' Dragonic then asks, getting off Tsukasa's back and floating in the air, smirking with his arms crossed.
Shadow Moon snarls deeply, getting off the wall as he proclaims towards the dragon. ''Impressive, dragon. No wonder the Great Leader doesn't wish to deal with you.''
Dragonic frowns, curious if he knows. If so, then he'll respect him to not fight him. He eyes Tsukasa and asks him. ''Tsukasa-kun, you have this?''
''You know it.'' Tsukasa declares, strapping on the Decadriver. He pulls out a Rider Card but Zodiart charges at him.
''Stop!'' The monster stops by a voice as Tsukasa turns as does Gentaro, seeing one of the members of Team A rushing over. It's Ryusei and he's wearing a dark blue belt.
''This Ryusei also has-'' Gentaro begins to utter but is cut short by him activating the belt by inserting a Switch to the slot of the belt and then flips the disk.
''METEOR, READY!'' The belt announces followed by funky disco music being played. Ryusei immediately shouts. ''Henshin!'' He swipes his hands over the small round sphere on the right side of the belt as the middle part begins spinning. His body is surrounded in a sphere-like energy before he emerges, fully transformed as Kamen Rider Meteor.
''I won't let you take on this path anymore!'' Meteor declares to the Zodiart, as if personal, before he charges in and delivers precise and consecutive martial art-like palm strikes while letting out a battle cry. ''WATTAA! HIIIDAA!''
These strikes stagger the monster away from the others as Meteor leaps and performs a roundhouse kick, pushing him even further away.
''So the rumors about a rider working with the monsters are far from the truth; he's opposing them.'' Tsukasa proclaims about the falsehood of the rumors… but they said this being was black.
''Man he fights just like-'' Gentaro begins to say astonished until once more his words are cut off by a similar, robotic-like voice. ''ATTACK RIDE! DIEND BLAST!''
Tsukasa recognizes that voice as a barrage of energy shots come out of nowhere and blasts Meteor behind the back, damaging him as he turns to see Diend with Selina on his shoulder, leaning on the side of his head with her arms crossed, smirking.
''Kaito.'' Tsukasa mutters, figuring he was waiting for his chance to steal again. Diend looks back at his rival, snickering, as he asks him. ''You fine if I go after him, no?''
Tsukasa glares, not wanting to but he does... bleh, owe him one for helping in the test plus this might be his only chance to fight this Zodiart and stop him from abducting more students. He sighs as he shrugs his shoulders, responding uncaringly. ''If this is what you wanted, fine.''
''Heh, thank you.'' Diend thanks him as does the Purrloin with a soft purr. ''Nyan-Nyan-Nyan~''
Diend then looks down at Meteor, hoping off from his high ground and declares, pointing his gun at him. ''I'll be taking your belt, kid.''
''Like hell you will!'' Meteor shouts furiously as he does a fighting pose and declares with his hands forward. ''I am the one who will decide your fate!'' He comes charging while Diend snickers. ''You sure about that?''
Diend stands there as Meteor unleashes a barrage of palm strikes as he cries furiously. ''HHIITA WATTA!'' However, Diend vanishes with his super speed and gets behind him. Meteor staggers, turning as he does a roundhouse kick and he vanishes. Diend is now on his left, tapping his shoulder in a taunt which causes Meteor to swing his other leg but Diend blocks it with his forearm.
''Sloppy kicks.'' Diend taunts as he then fires a barrage of energy shots, sparks flying out across Meteor's body before launching backwards. He grinds his feet on the ground, standing his ground as he pants heavily. Meteor snaps out and presses the switch on the right attached wrist controller.
''JUPITER READY?'' The Meteor Driver announces as he presses the switch again and extends back his right arm. ''OK! JUPITER!'' A large round sphere resembling Jupiter manifests around his fist. He thrusts it forward, releasing a gravity pressure attack that hits Diend but he stands his ground. Meteor then raises his arm as Diend is suddenly lifted upward as well as Selina who cries out in a panic. He quickly slides in two Rider Cards into his gun, loading them in.
''KAMEN RIDE!'' The Diendriver announces as Diend fires at Meteor two shots that transform into 2 Kiva Riders. ''IXA! SAGA!'' He then slides in another card as he's been slammed downward. "ATTACK RIDE! CROSS ATTACK!" Both summoned fake Riders unleash their signature attacks upon Meteor, blasting him away and enough to free Diend who somersaults and lands on his feet flawlessly. Selina breathes heavily, gripping on Diend's shoulder thinking they were both goners.
Meteor grunts, getting up only to get wrapped in Saga's Baton weapon, lifting him upward as he's immediately blasted by Ixa's phone gun, blasting him multiple times before he crashes back onto the ground.
''I wonder if they'll be too much for you.'' Diend taunts his opponent, barely acknowledging him as a threat. Grunting, Meteor gets up fast and uses a different Switch into his arm.
''MARS READY?'' The Meteor Driver announces as his right fist is consumed in flames and wraps around tightly, now resembling the planet Mars. ''OK! MARS!'' He swings multiple punch swings, firing multiple fireballs that Diend and the summoned Riders repel with energy shots from their weapons.
''Is that the best you got?'' Diend further taunts him, causing Meteor to become enraged and charge forward.
Tsukasa watches this with a frown as Kaito will win sadly. He turns to just see Shadow Moon charging at him but Dragonic blocks his path, swinging a long tail whip that he evades by backing away fast.
''Dragonic, deal with my old butler. I'll-'' Tsukasa begins to tell the dragon, going to deal with the Zodiart monster who returns his focus to him. However, Gentaro gets in the way and declares determinedly. ''I got this guy, Tsukasa!''
Tsukasa scoffs, about to protest… until he sees the strange white belt around his waist.
''That belt…'' He mutters, watching as Gentaro flips each of the four Switches of the belt- no… Rider Belt!
Gentaro then grips his right arm to the right lever of his belt with his left arm crossed over his chest.
''3!'' The belt begins to count down, surprising the Zodiart. ''2! 1!''
''Henshin!'' Gentaro shouts, pulling the lever front and back before raising the same right arm up in the sky. At that time the Fourze Driver glows and releases streams of white smoke as well as two large rings over and under Gentaro. They release a beam of light in between him before he suddenly transforms a white version of Fourze, the real Fourze, as he swings his raised arm downward to blow the smoke away.
Holding his arms to his chest as he squats down, Gentaro soon shouts passionately as he raises both hands up high to the sky. ''SPACE IS HERE!''
Shadow Moon is shocked as he's then claw swipe by Dragonic's claw, sparks flying out of him.
''You're-'' The Zodiart utters in shock but realizes it's not him.
''Kamen Rider Fourze!'' Snickering at first, the transformed Gentaro proclaims, swiping the top head of his rocket helmet before holding his fist up at the monster. ''Let's do this mano-a-mano!''
The Zodiart hisses as he comes at him only to get punched by Fourze followed by another barrage of punches, tossing the monster backwards.
Tsukasa snarls with a small smirk; making a lot more sense that Mr. Sunshine is the canon Fourze.
Dragonic nods as he suddenly moves so fast and swings his claw to intercept Shadow Moon's sword swing coming at Tsukasa. He startles, barely noticing him coming as the dragon questions him. ''Well? Or do you want me to fight your battles.'' As he repels and sparks fly out from his claws and the enemy's sword.
Smirking, Tsukasa has to admit he's not wrong. He pulls out his Rider Card as he charges at Shadow Moon, thrusting the card into his belt
''Henshin!'' He shouts as the Decadriver begins to announce. ''KAMEN RIDE!''
Seeing his chance, Shadow Moon dashes past Dragonic who doesn't bother stopping him. He swings his sword at Tsukasa but he blocks it with his right forearm which has already turned into Decade's right arm. Soon the rest of his body is covered by the layers until he fully becomes his Rider form. ''DECADE!''
This enrages Shadow Moon who swings his other fist at him and Decade responds, swinging his own. They clash fists and it pushes each other backwards with great force.
Wiping his hands together, Decade pulls out a Rider Card and thrusts into his belt as he walks forward, calmly.
''KAMEN RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade changes into… ''ZX!'' Decade-ZX dashes right in front of Shadow Moon who tries thrusting his sword through him but Decade moves as he evades to the left. He then slams a powerful punch across his chest that sends him flying onto a wall. Shadow Moon pulls out from the wall, barely taking any damage as he comes at Decade-ZX. Decade wields his Ride Booker as the two engage, sword to sword as sparks fly out between them.
Fourze engages the Zodiart who jumps around like a grasshopper, leaping too fast and quick for Fourze to land a punch or kick, even falling backwards of frustration.
"Now you're asking for it!" Fourze declares, standing up as he slides in a different Switch in the far right slot and twirls it.
''ROCKET ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces that Fourze's right arm is coated in orange energy before it is now covered in a giant orange rocket. It ignites from its engines, blasting Fourze right at the Zodiart and literally punching him with the rocket. The monster is sent flying away only for Fourze to get behind him and delivers a somersaulting kick, slamming him onto the ground.
The Zodiart grunts in pain, pulling itself up just as Fourze lands as the rocket vanishes. He snickers as he slides in another Switch into the middle right slot of his belt, twirling it.
''LAUNCHER ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces as he slams his right leg forward. The leg is coated in blue energy before being covered in a large, bulky rocket launcher. It soon fires multiple missiles, each one hitting the Zodiart and launching it into the air like a ping-pong.
Fourze then slides in another Switch in the middle left slot, twirling its lever.
''AERO ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces that the left leg is coated in light blue energy before being covered in a large, jetpack-like machine with 4 engines. It begins sucking up all air and wind into the left foot before Fourze lifts up his left foot and fires all the wind into a powerful blast. It then begins sucking the Zodiarts in the air right towards Fourze who slides in a new Astro Switch in the middle right slot.
''CLAW ON!'' The belt announces as his right arm is coated in purple energy before covered in a wrist bladed, 3-claw weapon. He swipes the monster with that arm, sparks flying out as he slashes him three times before crashing onto the ground.
Fourze still snickers as his Switch pieces vanishes and he puts a new one on the far left.
''WRENCH ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces as his left arm is coated in pale yellow energy before covered in a wretch-like claw weapon. It shoots outward and wraps around the target still in the ground and Fourze proceeds swinging him around like a wrecking ball, smacking the Zodiart around.
''Yosh! How's that!'' Fourze shouts, kinda having a bit of fun.
Dragonic hums watching with a smile, happy to see him having such fun.
''He's doing well.'' He informs Decade who suddenly gets slash by Shadow Moon, knocking him out of his ZX form.
''Not the time, Dragonic!'' He yells at the dragon as he blocks the incoming strike, sparks flying while Shadow Moon pressures his grip.
''Is that all you have, Master Tsukasa?!'' He questions him furiously, showing his absolute hate towards him. Scoffing at such a silly question, Decade responds as he pushes the Satansword off him and circles around him quickly. ''Hardly.'' He then kicks him just as he thrusts a Rider Card into his belt.
''KAMEN RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade pushes the levers forward, transforming him into… ''NIGO!''
Shadow Moon grunts as he comes charging at Decade-Nigo who slides another Rider Card into the belt.
''ATTACK RIDE! RIDER POWER!'' The Decadriver announces as Nigo begins to glow as well as Fourze, adding their power together. This surprises Fourze, feeling such potential as he slams the Zodiart right into the ground hard.
Decade-Nigo then leaps right towards Shadow Moon so fast that he slashes him first before he can do anything. Sparks fly out as Shadow Moon staggers back, badly injured.
''D-damn-'' He begins uttering furiously, trying to stand up as he's immediately slashed by Psycho Cut. He's pushed back, dropping on one knee.
''ABSOL!'' Barking, Layla leaps beside Decade followed by Natsumi running in. ''Tsukasa-kun!''
''I'm fine, Natsumikan.'' Decade tells her, wiping his hands together. Natsumi sweat drops, not surprised.
Shadow Moon tries getting up, still shaken up but his vow will not break.
''Damn pests!'' He shouts, swinging his sword and fires a powerful red energy wave from the blade. It comes fast at the group but Dragonic gets in front and utters out, lowering his fedora slightly. ''DRAGONAUN REFLECTION!'' Purple flames erupt around him and take on the form of reflecting dragon wings. The energy wave hits the barrier and instead reflects the wave into flames right back at Shadow Moon.
''GAAWW!'' He screams as the flames consume him and blasts him backwards. He's sent crashing deep into the forest, no longer a threat.
Wiping his claws, Dragonic eyes Decade and orders him. ''Now deal with the monster, Tsukasa-kun!''
Decade scoffs as he nods, running towards the Zodiart.
As that's going on, Meteor breathes heavily trying to hold his ground against Diend and his summoned riders but he's struggling so much that he's losing energy.
''Nyan~Nyan.'' Selina purrs, mocking the rider as Diend snickers, agreeing as he tells Meteor. ''If you're done, hand me you belt.''
Meteor growls as he flips a different Switch and slides into his right controller arm
''LIMIT BREAK! OK!'' The Meteor Driver announces as Meteor leaps past the summoned riders and comes directly at Diend who slides in a card into his gun.
''ATTACK RIDE! BARRIER!'' The Diendriver announces as a cyan colored barrier manifests around Diend, protecting him just as Meteor unleashes multiple palm strikes with the right hand, engulfed in blue swirling energy. Each palm strike hits the surface of the barrier but can't crack through it.
Meteor is forced to back away as he declares, sliding a Switch into his belt instead. ''This will finish it!'' He jumps high as the Meteor Driver announces. ''METEOR ON READY?''
Snickering, Diend slides a Rider Card, loading it in his weapon before taking aim up high at Meteor.
''FINAL ATTACK RIDE!'' The Diendriver announces as both the summoned Ixa and Saga become energy and absorb back into the gun, charging up its attack.
''METEOR LIMIT BREAK!'' The Meteor Driver announces as Meteor descends right down to Diend with a Rider Kick. Diend sees this and finds that "cute" before he calmly orders his partner. ''… Assist.''
Selina purrs as she holds up her paws and forms a sphere of energy similar to Diend's. Seeing this, Meteor panics as Diend chuckles and presses on the trigger of his weapon.
''DIEND!'' The Diendriver announces as both Diend and Selina fire a destructive blast, consuming Meteor even as his kick tries piercing through the blast. It's too much as his attack breaks apart and the blasts consume him entirely.
''AAAAHHH!'' Meteor screams as the blasts explode and he falls downward, de-transformed and hits the ground hard. Diend twirls his Diendriver as he approaches the unconscious Ryusei. He reaches down and pulls off the Meteor Driver. He chuckles as he and Selina walks away as she purrs happily.
The Zodiart sees this, getting mad but is stopped by Decade, aiming his Ride Booker gun form.
''ATTACK RIDE! BLAST!'' The Decadriver announces as he presses the trigger and fires multiple shots across the Zodiart, damaging him over and over till he's pushed back and unable to move.
''Let's finish this.'' Decade declares, putting away his weapon as he holds a Rider Card and dunks it into his belt. Fourze joins him, declaring excitedly as he holds two Astro Switches and thrusts them into his belt slots. ''Alright!''
''FINAL ATTACK RIDE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade leaps upward.
''ROCKET-DRILL ON!'' The Fourze Driver announces as Fourze manifests his rocket on his right arm and now a yellow drill attached in his left leg. He rockets upward as he twirls around and takes aim with his drill as a Rider Kick.
''LIMIT BREAK!'' The driver announces as the drill spins and Fourze shouts as he rockets downward. ''ROCKET DRILL SPACE KICK!''
''DECADE!'' The Decadriver announces as Decade performs his own Rider Kick and dashes through the holographic cards with such speed towards the Zodiart. The monster panics, trying to leap away but Fourze just tracks him by redirecting his aim as well as the holographic cards.
The Zodiart is helpless as both riders kick through him instantly in the air before they land on the ground with Fourze spinning around. Decade wipes his hands as the monster explodes.
''Yosh- Hey wait, the Zodiarts should explode way bigger than-'' Fourze begins to say, just realizing the Zodiart could have exploded way bigger.
''Different world, different logic!'' Dragonic corrects him, suddenly on top of Decade who grunts.
''Ah, I get it…'' Fourze begins to admit, gently hitting his right fist into his flat left palm until he staggers and turns to see the dragon and immediately freaks out. ''YOU TALK?!''
Decade shakes his head that he didn't realize that Dragonic was real until now. He turns to the Zodiart who suddenly reverts into someone else and it surprises him.
''Wait, that's-'' Fourze begins to say, recognizing him and it's Utahoshi.
''Now I get the gist of it. He wanted to get rid of the competition.'' Decade concludes, making sense why the monster has been attacking students.
''W-why?! The Kengo I know-'' Fourze begins to protest only for Decade to interrupt, eyeing the depressed Utahoshi. "But he's not the one who abducted the students. He just wanted to freak them out so they leave here and he can become an astronaut."
He learned of Team A's goals, mainly Utahoshi's. It makes sense.
"Then who was it doing-" Fourze then questions who is doing this until he hears a sound. He turns and Dragonic is the first to react, breathing flames upon missiles about to hit them.
Panicking with fear all over his face, Utahoshi begins uttering as he crawls away. ''I-It's him.''
The dragon and the two Riders watch as walking forward from out of the smoke is another Fourze, except he's all black with deep red visor eyes.
''Another Fourze?'' Fourze utters in shock while Decade hums, now things are becoming interesting.
See you next week with Part 2 of the A.R. World of Fourze!
