Kamen Rider Next - Theme Song〘Platinum Smile〙by Riyu Kosaka (Rock Edition)
There were a couple of Clone Troopers that were opening fire at the Ultron Sentinels that were firing at them from up above. And there was one significant Clone Trooper Sergeant that was leading the defensive perimeter and holding the line.
Through the use of professional martial arts, the Clone Trooper Sergeant was dodging every red-colored beam that was hurled at him in droves, consisting of acrobatic and bending moves, using his carbine to blast every Ultron Sentinel in sight. As one Ultron Sentinel tried to punch him in the face, he side-step it and use his carbine to perform a carbine butt the Sentinel in the face and forming a circular platform in his right hand and fired a blue-colored beam that melted the Sentinel's body as it malfunctioned. Then, he used his right hand to fire a couple of blue beams in a continuous fashion of automatic gunfire-like, the sound effect reverberating as it was mixed with the sound of technological bolts and crannies being sent their way to the scrap heap.
The Clone Trooper Sergeant dodges one strike from an Ultron Sentinel who was coming from the back, blasting it to the face with his carbine, vaporizing the head. Then he aims his carbine at the two Ultron Sentinels charging forward, then shooting down four other Ultron Sentinels.
More and more Ultron Sentinels were coming on top of them in droves as the Clone Troopers continued to open fire at them. However...
''Pretty Cure Dream Attack!''
Suddenly, there were showers of pink butterflies on many of the Ultron Sentinels that were exploding upon impact in a continuous fashion. Jumping into the fray was Cure Dream, raising her arms and making her signature combat pose.
''Precure detected! Termination authoriz-AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!'' many of the Ultron Sentinels fell as multiple blue-colored high-density bolts were fired right at them non-stop by the clones who took their positions near both sides of Cure Dream who only sported a surprised and curious expression.
Civilians were running in droves as the Clone Troopers didn't let up in their defenses. Their advanced technology helped them to take out the Ultron Sentinels before their deadly high-intensity beams would harm the civilians.
Two Clone Troopers, back-to-back, were firing from all directions and dodging each red-colored beam that was hurled their way. They would also materialize holographic shields that managed to parry the energy attacks and reflect them back on the opponents, destroying many of them instantly as various mechanical parts and bolts were seen on the ground.
And then, multiple sticky rope-like structures were seen to put the Ultron Sentinels in their place without any allowable movement, allowing the clones to pulverize them with their weapons with no form of hesitation. They eventually notice this sudden attack when they glance to the side and spot Cure Custard with a determined expression along with a couple of Precure that share the same color scheme as her.
''Pretty Cure Peace Thunder!'' Cure Peace said as she raised both of her hands in the form of scissors, lightning bolts shooting out of her hands which electrifies many of the Ultron Sentinels that were located in about 15 meters and counting.
Cure Moonlight and Cure Passion were jumping towards a battle between the Clone Troopers and the Ultron Sentinels, engaging the latter very thoroughly as red-colored beams were fired at the Precure, dodging them. Through a few front flip maneuvers, they managed to punch and kick the Ultron Sentinels that exploded simultaneously.
As the Ultron Sentinels surrounded them, the Clone Troopers fought back, covering the two Precure who were engaged in hand-to-hand combat. The two Precure noted the timely assistance of the Clone Troopers, some of whom were now gathered in a circular pattern and open fired at the Ultron Sentinels from all directions.
Cure Moonlight and Cure Passion were quite curious about these unknown and strange soldiers that were currently assisting them as they and their fellow Precure had seen them defending and evacuating innocent civilians.
''Ma'ams,'' one clone heads towards them, his armor carrying a set of musical theme notes that accompany the light purple markings. ''You all must be wondering what seems to be happening right now, correct?''
Cure Moonlight and Cure Passion were looking at both of themselves, curious. Then they looked back at the trooper.
''Yes, we are, can you please explain what is happening?'' Cure Moonlight asked.
''You have been deemed hazardous! Termination authorized!'' the Ultron Sentinels all said as they charged toward Kiriya Irizawa, Cure White, Cure Ange, and Cure Macherie.
''...!'' Cure White, still holding on to Kiriya, was sporting a grim expression as the special moment between herself and the latter was sadly interrupted
Kiriya narrowed his eyes, glancing towards the eastern direction where the Ultron Sentinels were charging from. He raises his right hand which stops the Ultron Sentinels from their tracks, glitches of some sort appearing throughout their entire appearances. And then, Kiriya psychokinetically hurls these Ultron Sentinels against each other with ease, exploding outwardly as all of their parts scattered everywhere.
''Honoka,'' Kiriya spoke clearly, holding Cure White in a gentle and accommodating manner. Honoka looks at him, curious. ''You might want to step back for a moment,'' Kiriya said, stepping away from Cure White for a few accommodating meters as he raises his Miridewatch and press it.
WOZ! BEYONDRIVER!
At that very moment, a belt appeared around his waist. It has a green strap and a black buckle with a green dial in the center showing a screen on its left which was a green rectangular button surrounded by three green round buttons and on the right of the dial a green lever with a slot in the rectangular corresponding to what is behind the Miridewatch in his hand.
"Eh?!" Cure White, Cure Ange, and Cure Macherie muttered in surprise.
Kiriya would place the watch on the slot of the belt and press the button once more, the voice in the belt announcing once again.
ACTION!
Once this word was pronounced, he begins to raise his right hand upwards in a formal counterclockwise manner while techno music is playing as a form of introduction to the inevitable transformation that would commence in the next few moments. A digital clock watch appears behind his back, with clock gears seen from the screen that has random numbers appearing.
"Henshin!" Kiriya said with a clear tone as he place his right hand on the slot, moving the lever of the driver.
TOUEI! FUTURE TIME! SUGOI! JIDAI! MIRAI! KAMEN RIDER WOZ! WOZ!
The blue katakana letters would fly off from the watch as a green circular digitized armband formed around him, materializing a white bodysuit, with various parts of his armor now seen for the next few moments before they were directly attached to him by a straightened pattern, with the final touch being the blue letters that would now grace his face.
He has now transformed into Kamen Rider Woz.
"...No way...Kiriya-kun is...a Kamen Rider," Cure White muttered in shock, a million questions overflowing her mind as she tries to ask herself how and why.
"Another Kamen Rider, I say?!" Cure Macherie exclaimed in shock.
Woz looks at the three Precure who was looking at him in shock.
"Honoka, everyone, I know that all of you have questions, but we need to head to where Nagisa-senpai and the others are right now. But first..." Kiriya said, concerned. He said this as he opens a digital clock portal that engulfs himself and the Precure, disappearing from sight.
George Kurai - Kamen Rider Zi-O was sprinting fast, using his Kabuto Kunaigun on his right hand to fire high-density ion beam blasts and using his left hand to use the Zikan Girade and send a wave of magenta-colored energy while Tatsuya Kaname was using his Gatack Double Calibur to send a wave of yellow-colored electrical energy, all of them, in turn, managed to decimate many of the golden chrome Ultron Sentinels from all of the four directions and sideways.
They were already quite fast in terms of speed, a bit of the supersonic in terms of range for a lesser minimum, meaning that this was not the limit of their speed at all. Sparks fly as each of the Ultron Sentinels were taken down as if by a few seconds or so, causing various bolts and parts to be scattered everywhere.
And then, after traveling to a few suburban areas and obliterating the Ultron Sentinels at high speed, they finally made it towards a nearby open area with grasslands and an open road that was cracked. The Kamen Riders both saw four Precure - Cure Black, Cure Yell, Cure Amour, and Cure Tomorrow - were thoroughly engaged with the Ultron Sentinels.
At that point, Zi-O begins to remove his Kabuto Ridewatch from his belt and Geiz begins to remove his Gatack Ridewatch from his belt. Zi-O puts his Kabuto Ridewatch at the Zikan Girade while Geiz puts his Gatack Ridewatch at the Zikan Zax. Then, they begin to aim them at all of the Ultron Sentinels that were surrounding the girls.
FINISH TIME! KABUTO! CLOCK TIME BREAK!
FINISH TIME! GATACK! CLOCK TIME BURST!
And then, multiple energy projectiles were seen to be fired from their respective weapons, destroying many of the Ultron Sentinels upon impact which was heavily noticed by the Precure who all look towards the direction where it was fired.
"George!" Cure Yell exclaims as she and her fellow Precure dash toward Zi-O and Geiz.
"Hana! Zi-O exclaims as he and Geiz dash towards the Precure. "Are you all alright?"
"Yeah, we're alright," Cure Yell nodded.
Cure Tomorrow was looking at Zi-O in curiosity, followed by a mixture of feelings that she was pondering over based on these surprises that
All of a sudden, there was Another Cure Amour, or rather Ultron, flying straight to the ground, badly damaged as her android face was seen in half. Then she was shot from the back by a suddenly appearing Kamen Rider Kabuto who was using his Kabuto Kunaigun to aim at her precise spots, rendering her disabled for now.
"SWAAAAAAAARK!"
For the past few moments in superspeed, Ultron and Kabuto had been thoroughly engaged in a brutal fight. Ultron would use the puppet that he had gained, making use of her onboard weaponry by discretion, and shoot everything that he had at Kabuto, only for Kabuto to parry them with ease as if it were not that big of a deal. Ultron had tried to use combat techniques, trying to use the transformed arms of the android which were sporting chainsaws and other onboard weaponry that was all simply parried and cut down by the Kabuto Kunaigun.
"...!" the Kamen Riders and the Precure noticed both of the individuals' arrivals.
"Sensei?" Zi-O muttered in surprise.
Kabuto nodded at Zi-O. "George. Tatsuya."
And all of a sudden, a digital clock portal was seen from another direction, and from there, Woz, Cure White, Shiny Luminous, Cure Ange, Cure Étoile, Cure Macherie, and Hariham Harry (now in his form, hopping to the shoulder of Cure Étoile) were now coming towards them.
"Amour!" Cure Macherie dashes towards Cure Amour, concerned at the slight scratches and damage that was seen from the latter's skin.
"Macherie!" Cure Amour dashes toward Cure Macherie who was relieved that she was safe, obvious scratches and wounds aside that came from Another Cure Macherie by using her guitar to beat her with no remorse and in a manner that was quite vicious and shocking.
As both Cure Amour and Cure Macherie embrace each other out of relief that their fellow friend and Precure is fine if not a bit bruised, Woz walks towards Zi-O and Geiz who took notice of their comrade.
"Woz," Zi-O nodded.
"Zi-O," Woz nodded.
"Ehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehehe!" Ultron, a mixture of his voice and that of Another Cure Amour, was giggling softly. It was an eerie kind of laughter that was not that loud but quite calculated, like the kind of laughter that the individual knew that there was something that only he knows.
Most of everyone shivered down their spine as they heard the eerie giggling that came from an Ultron-possessed Another Cure Amour, the mixture of two voices and blending them into one. Zi-O, Geiz, Woz, and Kabuto were narrowing their eyes in concern at this dreaded foe of the Multiverse. Yes, Ultron at this specific moment seems weaker, having been defeated a little too easily, but something was off and if there was one thing that the Kamen Riders knew regarding their past multiple experiences with Ultron is that whatever Ultron does is something, they'd pay very close attention. But none more so was narrowing his eyes than Zi-O as he has a specific history for this dreaded abomination that only wants everything to die.
"I must say...reunions are always the touching stone of renewable encounters no matter what time and place. Your strength...and your weakness..." Ultron said, despite being grievously injured, sparks flying from the possessed body. "Isn't that not so, George Kurai," he said, looking right at Zi-O.
And then suddenly...
"...!"
Something was very wrong. For whatever reason, Cure Yell was glitching slightly as her face grimaced and contorted in pain. Glitches appear throughout her entire appearance as if the signal of the television was becoming less clear. Everyone was shocked, but none more than Zi-O.
"Hana!" Zi-O exclaim, concerned and alarmed, as he heads towards Cure Yell who was about to fall down to the ground, managing to grab her as she fell down, gently holding her in an accommodating manner.
"Hana-chan!'' Cure Ange, Cure Étoile, Cure Amour, and Hariham Harry were dashing towards their comrade, crouching down.
"Hana-senpai!" Cure Machere was dashing towards her comrade, crouching down.
"No!" Cure Tomorrow was dashing towards Cure Yell, crouching down, very worried for the younger alternate version of her mother that she had spent tremendous time with when she was still Hugtan.
The rest of the Precure all crouched down and were just as concerned as the rest HUGtto! Precure Team. Every single one of the Kamen Riders was concerned and they all seem to recognize what was happening with Cure Yell.
"Well...sounds like a temporal paradox is catching up..." Ultron spoke with a knowing smile.
"What? What is happening?" Cure Black said, worried as she sees her fellow Precure suddenly glitching and growing ill. And then, she and everyone else would see Cure Yell powering down, turning her back into civilian form while still glitching in and out, slightly grimacing in pain.
"You! What did you do?!" Cure Étoile narrowed her eyes in anger.
"Me?" Ultron only spoke in amusement. "Nothing. I didn't have to do anything and that's the beauty of it. Do you all want to know why I decided to show myself to all of you in a manner that is terribly cliché of a villain? Well, think back, what exactly did I allow when I first introduced myself to you in this puppet?"
It was a question directed to those who were specifically there when Ultron inadvertently interrupted the battle between the Precure and Another Cure Yell. Kabuto was narrowing his eyes as he was also there when it happened, listening from the shadows.
"The past," Kabuto spoke in a grim tone, sure of the answer. "Someone is interfering in the past."
"More than just that, old friend."
They all look to see a flash of white-bluish light, revealing an old man with grey hair, with a walking stick in his left hand and a right armored gauntlet in place of his right hand.
"Someone has traveled back in time to a specific moment in the young Nono Hana's timeline, to a time when she first became a Precure, and that is something that must be protected at all costs," he said in a grim tone.
"Paradox-sensei!" Geiz took note of the presence of the Time Walker and was concerned by what he had just said.
"Eh?! Who are you?!" Cure White asked, surprised at the sudden appearance of Paradox.
"He's a time traveler, Honoka," Woz explained simply.
"Eh?!" Cure White was surprised and so were the rest of the Futari wa Precure
"This invasion was merely just a diversion," Zi-O narrowed his eyes at Ultron. While he was just as surprised as Geiz when Paradox made himself known, the condition of Hana Nono takes immediate priority. "You specifically intervened in the battle between the HUGtto! Precure and their counterparts and let the latter be to apply their own plans for the past."
"In other words, what's happening right now is basically the unnatural changes slowly being put into effect as the timeline is cementing and modifying itself," Woz said, his eyes narrowing in concern for the suffering Hana Nono who was flinching and grimacing slightly, her entire appearance glitching from the inside out.
But as Woz said this, Cure Ange, Cure Étoile, Cure Macherie, and Cure Amour were grimacing slightly as well, falling to the ground and contorting in pain, with the Futari wa Precure Team and Harry sporting a shocked expression as they head towards the nearest Precure down.
"Ange!" Cure White exclaims as she places her hands near Cure Ange who was now forcibly detransforming back into her civilian form, glitches appearing all over her body
"Étoile!" Harry exclaims as he places his hands near Cure Étoile who was now forcibly detransforming back into her civilian form, glitches appearing all over her body.
"Macherie! Amour!" Shiny Luminous exclaims as she places her hands near Cure Macherie and Cure Amour who were now detransforming back into their civilian forms, glitches appearing all over their bodies.
"Zi-O, Geiz, Woz, there is little time for us to waste. One of you must head back to the past while the two of you stay here as Ultron no doubt would not stop his invasion just for this," Paradox narrowed his eyes towards the Ultron-controlled Another Cure Amour who smirked at the accusation.
"Guilty as charged, Time Walker. Even in old age, your insight still hasn't lost your touch. A pity of course that you cannot intervene this time. You were quite the powerful opponent to deal with during the Time War and a constant nuisance to my goals. After the War, look at you now, chained by the rules and regulations like a mere puppet," Ultron said in a mixture of tones ranging from mocking and respect.
"I'd prefer to consider myself as a practical idealist that has a respect for the free will of all, Ultron," Paradox rebutted the point in a solemn tone.
"Free will?" if Ultron didn't know any better, he would be close to snorting in a mocking tone. "A fleeting concept, Time Walker. People follow their leaders like puppets on strings. They're like good soldiers that always follow orders. Whether or not if it is good or if it is bad is mostly irrelevant."
"I'd figure that you say such, Ultron, even though you have been proven wrong many times before and it would not be different this time," Paradox only took the response in stride, smiling in humor.
"We shall see, Time Walker," Ultron simply said.
"Geiz, Woz, both of you need to stay and take care of the girls, I'll go back to the past," Zi-O said, his tone being concerned as he held Hana gently.
"Right," Geiz and Woz nodded in agreement.
"You think that I'll just let you leave?" Ultron said with a smile. In response, there were thousands of Ultron Sentinels that were found in the skies and on the ground, having teleported in droves by flashes of light. They were golden chrome in color, with red photoreceptor eyes and blue grin-like mouths glowing ominously.
"Termination authorized!" the Ultron Sentinels were all raising their hands at everyone on the ground, red circular shapes of energy were materializing from the palm of their hands.
Then suddenly, multiple explosions occurred from the ground and from the skies, destroying many of the Ultron Sentinels. The cause of it was the countless blue-colored bolts that were being shot by none other than the 14th Legion Clone Troopers who were coming from multiple directions on the ground, aiming their rifles at the skies. Many of the soldiers were gathering near the Precure, the Kamen Riders, and Paradox in tight formation, with some kneeling down with one knee and aiming their rifles at the skies. Some of the soldiers were aiming at Another Cure Amour/Ultron, with Kabuto keeping a close watch on her.
Aside from the clones, many of the Precure from various teams had shown up along with the clones, attacking from the skies and on the ground.
"Pretty Cure, Floral Tourbillon!" Cure Flora was on the ground and raises both of her hands which sends a shower of flowers on the Ultron Sentinels, with many of them exploding in turn.
"Flash! Holy Sword!" Cure Sword flies in the air and sends a bunch of purple swords flying towards the Ultron Sentinels, cutting many of them down.
"Pretty Cure Happy Shower!" Cure Happy was on the ground as she fires heart-like energy projectiles at the Ultron Sentinels, with many of them exploding in turn.
"Pretty Cure, Twin Stream Splash!" Cure Bloom and Cure Egret call upon the spirits of the Earth and the Sky. Energy gathers into their hands as they recite the incantation. The energy turns into yellow and blue liquid and comes out of the symbols on the girls' uniforms. They forcefully push the liquid and turn it into strong jets of water that enclose multiple Ultron Sentinels, pushing them all back, hitting the other Ultron Sentinels nearby, and exploding as several bolts and parts were scattered to the ground.
"Everyone!" Cure Black exclaims with a bright smile of relief as she sees many of their fellow Precure finally joining them.
"Black! White! Luminous!" Cure Bloom exclaims out of relief and concern as she, Cure Egret, and many others were heading towards their location. Naturally, they were surprised to see the following Kamen Riders standing right in front of them, recognizing them in sight. "K-K-Kamen Rider?!" Cure Bloom exclaims in shock.
But then, they'd notice something else which made shook many of them. All of the HUGtto! Precure Team are down for the count in their civilian forms, grimacing and contorting in pain as they were glitching like static.
"Yell!" Cure Miracle exclaims out of concern as she sees Hana Nono down on the ground, gently being cared for by Zi-O.
"Ange! Étoile!" Cure Whip exclaims out of concern as she sees Saaya Yakushiji and Homare Kagayaki down on the ground.
"Macherie! Amour!" Cure Magical exclaims out of concern as she sees Emiru Aisaka and Ruru Amour down on the ground.
"What happened to them, White?" Cure Egret asked Cure White, worried at the specific condition of her kouhais.
"It's a little complicated to explain Mai-san, but the basic gist of it is that someone is messing with history and the HUGtto! Precure are being affected by it," Cure White looks at all of her downed kouhais with concern.
"Zi-O, you need to go to the past without delay and take this chance, now!" Kabuto ordered Zi-O, raising his Kunaigun and firing multiple high-intensity ion beam blasts on many of the Ultron Sentinels with a perfect headshot accuracy.
"Right!" Zi-O nodded with no hesitation as he gently holds Hana in an accommodating manner.
"I'm coming too!" Cure Tomorrow said as she looks straight at Zi-O's eyes, the same eyes that wouldn't take no for an answer.
What was surprising for Cure Tomorrow was that Zi-O didn't hesitate as he nodded. "Of course."
"Count me in as well," Harry said as he hops to the left shoulder of Cure Tomorrow, his eyes showing determination and resolve.
Once again, Zi-O nodded to the request with no hesitation, personal and mixed feelings aside as Hana and her teammates take full priority.
"G...George..." Hana muttered softly as she raises her right hand despite feeling excruciating pain which draws Zi-O's attention, the latter gently holding the hand of the former.
"I'll be back, Hana. You just rest for now," Zi-O reassured.
"A-Alright...Hooray...Hooray...George..." Hana smiled with no hesitation in spite of the pain.
With the simple cheer of encouragement from one Hana Nono, Zi-O became more determined as he looks at Paradox. "Paradox-sensei, can you get us to the appropriate moment if it is allowable?"
"Since this is within the parameters of my official task to preserve history as a Time Walker," Paradox smiled as a blue-colored portal appears behind his back. "Most certainly my dear student," he said as the portal begins to engulf him, Zi-O, Cure Tomorrow, and Harry.
And Hana Nono could only watch as she sees Zi-O being whisked away, her heart growing a bit saddened as her thoughts fly to him.
"("George...")," Hana thought to herself.
"Ehehehehe..." Another Cure Amour/Ultron's eyes glowed to an ominous red as some of her body parts were automatically being repaired, raising her hands as she turn the dial of her onboard weapons, firing red-colored beams of high density that were likened to automatic gunfire. Red beams were showered upon the Kamen Riders, the Precure, and the Clone Troopers in droves but were all blocked by Shiny Luminous' conjured barrier. "The past or the present matters not to myself, so long as I allow the fools that escape me to initiate a Timeline Break would trigger an extinction wide event without me having to do all the heavy load. But then in the meantime, I get to enjoy myself by turning down the timetables and erasing this timeline for good. Nothing...except peace. So...rest in peace..."
Many of the Precure were either narrowing their eyes or are frightened by Another Cure Amour/Ultron when she was speaking with a mixture of two unnatural voices and crimson eyes. What disturbs many of them, even more, was that Another Cure Amour/Ultron was the spitting image of the now suffering Ruru Amour who was currently lying on the ground.
Kabuto narrowed his eyes, predicting that he shouldn't let Ultron have his way as he knew just how dangerous this artificial intelligence is, having the official record of killing thousands of people, muttering. "Clock Up!" And then, he hits the right side of his belt. Now, he and Another Cure Amour were blurred out as if they were non-existence from the outside. Sparks were flying from multiple directions in an instant.
In reality, they were reaching speeds bordering on supersonic, with punches and kicks being enacted by both as they take their battle to the skies.
"Everyone! Defend this position!" Geiz exclaims, summoning rotary cannons that blasted many countless Ultron Sentinels that were located from the northern direction, including west and east.
ZIKAN DESPEAR! YARISUGI!
While this was happening, Woz was summoning multiple Zikan Despear from a 340° angle that were thrown at many countless Ultron Sentinels that were located from the northern direction, including west and east.
"Right!" Cure Black, Cure White, and Shiny Luminous nodded.
"Luminous! Heartiel Action!" Shiny Luminous raises her right hand which fires rainbow colors that managed to freeze many of the Ultron Sentinels on the spot.
And then, the first thing that Cure Black and Cure White does is to hold hands. Both of them raise their hands to call forth black and white thunder.
"Black thunder!"
"White thunder!"
The black and white lightning then shoots down onto their palms. As the thunder hits the girls' palms, White and Black shout out their chants and as they do that, they bring their hands down.
"Our beautiful souls..."
"Shall crush your evil heart!"
They then tighten their hands and shout out the attack name.
"Pretty Cure Marble Screw!"
Their hands reach out toward the enemy and the black and white lightning shoots out, spiraling around each other before hitting the Ultron Sentinels, destroying many of them with ease.
And as Zi-O, Cure Tomorrow, and Harry were in the past, the rest would stay in the present and fight this invasion force that was already being pushed back by the other Precure and 14th Legion Clone Troopers who were covering the latter in defensive formations.
