仮面ライダーBLACK RX (RIDER CHIPS Ver.) · RIDER CHIPS
The unpredictable fight still continues to rage on from above the rainy grey skies as a variety of rainbow-colored explosions were seen from the distance. Both Kamen Rider Meian and Nullus Nihilum were performing multiple punches and kicks from different directions, both enacted and countered by each other, while also teleporting from one location to the next at a full burst of speed that would leave the human eye completely helpless to follow. The exchange of their blows was still felt across their surroundings, enough that it complements even the thunder that was heard from the dark grey clouds and gives more of a push to the already ominous winds that were blowing with no remorse.
Afterwards, Nullus simply teleported and landed an almost good punch on Meian who countered by crossing his arms in an X, sending him flying, but not before he would perform a kick with both of his feet, sending Nullus flying as well in the opposite direction. Meian teleports after a few meters of flying, transporting himself into the ground that once had beautiful flowers, something that Meian would remember when he was very young, before the Chaotic Cataclysm took everything away in such terrible swiftness that made the entire world knew despair.
Hikari Kujou was still worried. Her anxieties were not being relieved at all as she bears witness to her brother, a version from a dark and twisted future, fighting for his life against this monster.
"George," She looks at George with pleading eyes, asking him. "Tell me, please, is my brother alright after this ordeal?"
George did not say anything, but he did give a silent nod, telling her that, yes, her brother was alright, which at least reassures her that her brother survives this ordeal somehow. Now the only question is how. She suppose that she would find out soon enough.
"This fight is taking far too long," Nullus muttered, narrowing his eyes. "Perhaps three of myself would ought to do, three for three."
And then suddenly...
"KAH!"
Both Zi-O and Geiz were suddenly kicked off from the ground before getting kicked again and again several times before getting raised to the ground and thrown down violently by a telekinetic attack over and over, much to the horror of those presently watching. There were now in fact three, counting the one that is now about to fight Meian once again, Nullus Nihilums, and two of them were busy delivering a savage beatdown on the two Kamen Riders. The main temporal remnant Nullus Nihilum that was now fighting Meian was now on the greater offensive, then he conjured up several versions of himself, which Meian would anticipate as he punches the ground with his light-dark right fist, causing a sudden shockwave that would erase all illusion copies of Nullus. Then Nullus would teleport from behind and deliver a devastating right kick, much to the anxiety of Hikari Kujou, sending Meian crashing to the ground in a dash, with the straight crash mark on the ground showing the proof of such a feat.
Tohru Honda, one of the Gokaigers that were watching, was sporting a grimaced expression, and could only close her eyes as she could see Zi-O and Geiz getting the beating of a lifetime.
Many PreCure Teams look to Present George Kurai and Present Tatsuya Kaname who were grimacing a bit and lightly touching their chest, as if recalling the pain that they felt at that time. Hana Nono and Hagumi Kurai, being very close to George, would see his past self and the past self of his best friend talking a very brutal turn as Nullus was knocking and pushing them on the ground with his powerful telekinesis.
After more than fifty times of being forced down to the ground, making him grunt, Zi-O would teleport so suddenly before five versions of Zi-O with his Saiyko Girade would deliver a swift attack on the torso and waist of Nullus, killing this Nullus off and disappearing into thin air and the echoing sound of radio static. Then the Zi-Os all disappeared and one Zi-O would appear and fired a large pink energy blast by cupping his hands to the side and releasing it, targeting the Nullus that was still telekinetically pushing down Geiz. A little too late did this Nullus realized as he was now exploding with a pink and orange fume cloud.
Zi-O teleports to Geiz's position and crouches down towards the lying down Kamen Rider who was disoriented by the many telekentic pushdowns.
"Geiz!" Zi-O exclaims.
"Ugh, ugh, I'm fine, ugh, aibou, help Meian, go!" Geiz coughed while reassuring his partner to go after Nullus and help Meian.
Zi-O nodded, if a bit hesitantly because he wanted to stay by his partner's side, but he knew that Meian needed some help and so would teleport towards the general location where the battle between Meian and Nullus was taking place.
From the battle, Meian was giving it all he has, all of the strength to push forward as he faces the dreaded monster that had taken the lives of so many, including the PreCure. He made a kick before doing a jump at full speed, landing on a desolate hill.
"Do you not know the meaning of the word 'Resistance is futile'?" Nullus said coldly, and at the same time, he would fire a deadly yellowish thunder from his hands that were aimed behind the back of Meian, only for Zi-O to intercept with his Saikyo Girade, using the thunder as an energy conductor that Zi-O would use as he raises his sword and the tip of the sword burst into yellow lightning striking through multiple directions, one of them hitting Nullus from the northeastern direction before using said energy to power up and fire deadly pink beams from both of his hands.
He strikes, but Meian blocks it with his golden bow, twisting it and transforming it into rainbow projectiles that were heading towards Nullus, only for the latter to clench his right hand and the energy would dissipate into blackish ash, with his eyes ominously glowing yellow. Zi-O was holding the handle of the Saikyo Girade, the long and short needle sensors of his helmet would turn pinkish and would turn into a circumference. A pinkish aura was glowing from his entire armor and his cape was lightly being blown by the winds that were generating in front of him.
And then suddenly, a memory would appear...more like two sets of memories...
"...!"
Everyone, Hana Nono and Hagumi Kurai especially, was shocked at what they were all seeing.
One was a scene of Future George Kurai seated on a chair and holding a paintbrush, looking a bit younger than the one that the PreCure were generally familiar with, who was seen alongside Future Hana Nono, wearing what appeared to be a white hat and white dress, who was smiling and praising him. It appeared that Future George was painting something on the canvas. It w appeared to be craspedias flowers that were on the ground that was being blown by the wind.
The other was a scene was a drenched Hana Nono, one that appeared to be about fourteen years old, the same age as the Hana Nono who was watching this memory, who was now holding her student bag in order to cover herself from the rain that was lightly falling down, only to stumble upon a young fourteen-year-old George Kurai who looked completely drenched in his clothing consisting of a white dress shirt and black pants, along with a blazer hung on his right shoulder. Hana looked concerned as she appeared to be asking George on why was he just standing there, drenched in the rain, with George not answering and instead gave a side glance hesitant expression.
Hana Nono, the one watching these memories, was confused, and so were her fellow PreCure. She never recalled meeting the young George like this, and it felt like she was seeing what appeared to be a moment that could-have-been.
"I think that I would not need to explain the memory on the left, but that other memory on the right," Present George would clarify gently, noticing Hana and Hagumi looking at him. He looks at Hana. "The one with you and me...that moment was actually how we were supposed to have first met...that one moment of the future that could have been...a world of what if...I did not become a Kamen Rider...and with that...I may never have met people like obaa-chan for example..." He looks at Kaoruko Hanaaki who looked at him with an empathetic and worried expression. "...Or maybe even...not be the man I am today. These two specific memories from two different points in time were shown to me when I wielded the power of Zi-O II—All For You."
A new light was shed as both Hana and Hagumi, and everyone else, would look at these memories with a mixture of curiosity and concern.
And then...
"...!"
Another memory occurred. This time, a familiar one. Future Cure Yell lying on the ground, smiling lovingly at the Past George Kurai/Kamen Rider Zi-O. This was the same scene that they saw before. Just right before Future Cure Yell would pass away...
"Ne...George..." Future Hana smiled before closing her eyes. "Promise me two things..."
"Anything," Past George said with no hesitation. But Present George would say it too, muttering clearly which made Present Hana become slowly teary-eyed and with her mouth trembling.
"Promise me...that you won't let me go in your world...and that you would take good care of our daughter..." Future Hana asked with a sad, resigned smile.
"...I promise," Past George said with no hesitation, even when he have a few misgivings on the matter.
"...Thank you..." Future Hana smiled contently as she still caresses his face. "...George...I...love you...no matter where...no matter when..."
And then...
The memory would switch back to the present time, revealing Zi-O subtly giving off a powerful pinkish aura. Zi-O, having seen these little tiny details via his retrocognition-precognition, would resolve to keep the sacred promise that he made. Suddenly, the entire ground where Zi-O and Meian were standing were fiiled to the brim with the once beautiful green grass and flowers of different types blooming across the deserted valley that is now replenishing, making Nullus raise an eyebrow and for everyone of the PreCure who were watching to see with eyes of awe and wonder.
The various flowers such as the ume that suddenly bloomed which gave attention to a new springtime, the cherry blossoms that sprouted along with the sturdy sakura trees, the wisteria's dangling strings of mauve, pink, and white blossoms that had displayed a hypnotic sense, and other flowers that were seen. The dried-up rivers would suddenly revive as water would flow once more, bursting out of the ground. The mountains that were nearby were starting to replenish once more. Its old trees were slowly being restored while And then, the skies, while it still rained, would have the grey clouds crack a bit to let a little sunlight in as it showered down upon Zi-O and Meian.
And then, there will be cherry blossoms and lavenders suddenly all gathering by the winds, encircling Zi-O and Meian.
As they were watching, both Tatsuya Kaname and Kiriya Irizawa would smile. Keima Katsuragi and Ichika Orimura would also smile.
"...Ah!" the Heartcatch PreCure and the Healin' Good PreCure fairy mascots would mutter in amazement, followed by the other mascots of the various teams.
"...Wow," Momo Belia Deviluke would mutter in amazement as she along with an amazed Tohru Honda would see the restoration of the grass, the multiple trees and flowers that were suddenly appearing upon the once-dead ground.
"..."Fuwaaa~!" Nodoka Hanadera would mutter in amazement.
"Sugoi! Look at all of those flowers!" Erika Kurumi spoke with amazement and shinning eyes. Yuri Tsukikage and Itsuki Myoudouin were in amazement as they see all of these things unfold.
"...This is...amazing..." Tsubomi Hanasaki's eyes were shining with awe. Then she glances to find a smiling Kaoruko Hanasaki as she sees all of this.
"This is...a manifestation of Zi-O's power, Tsubomi, everyone," Kaoruko Hanasaki looks at Present George who slightly glances at her. "More importantly, it is a manifestation of his own heart."
Everyone would look to Present George who was just silent and kept watching, feeling a bit secretly embarrassed but nevertheless felt comforted by the praise of his adoptive grandmother.
"("I made a promise...")" Zi-O said within his thoughts, which was heard by everyone who was watching. "("...And I intend to keep it...by surviving...by fighting...")"
It greatly touched every one of the PreCure and their mascots who had been watching this wonderful spectacle.
It greatly touched the heart of one Hana Nono who felt it within her own heart, the resolve to keep the promise, or die trying. It also touched the hearts of Hana's parents, Shintarou and Sumire Nono, who look at the boy with genuine gladness and a grateful smile. This boy...they both thought...has something special...and that is connected with their beloved eldest daughter.
And as he said this, there was something that was found within Zi-O's heart. There was the full blooming of lavender flowers which represent purity, silence, devotion, serenity, grace, and calmness. Its bright luminescent purple represents the color of royalty and of a higher purpose, one fit for a King, a King of Time. But there was another set of flowers blooming. It was a chrysanthemum, a memento of his late mother's advice, ones with the colors of red, yellow, white, and violet, and with it came a swirling energy of positive and negative forces.
And then, a memory of Zi-O's mother was seen briefly before vanishing as the present moment comes again. A young woman with long blonde hair and blue ocean-gentle eyes with glasses. She was seen wearing a blue turtleneck dress and a yellow, long-sleeved top, along with a white lab coat. She had grey gloves worn on both of her hands. She wears tights and dark brown shoes. And she was seen with a smile as she embraces a very young George.
"George...my sunflower..." George's late mother would say.
"George's...okaa-san?" Hana muttered softly, glancing at Present George who was trying his best to avoid showing his sadness. Everyone else was curious about the woman as well.
"The power of the heart, one of pure love even in the midst of despair..." Nullus Nihilum muttered, intrigued by what he was seeing. The PreCure and everyone else who were watching were now paying close attention to him. "...So you have decided to let loose a fraction of your own power, putting the pawn forward. Then, it would be my turn I suppose..."
But then, Geiz would suddenly come up from behind him, firing an energy blast that was suddenly evaded by Nullus who teleported from the skies, but then suddenly...
"KAH!"
Zi-O raised his left hand, making use of his power to unleash yellow lightning that came from above the grey cracked clouds. Then he fired a pink energy blast that was in the shape of a heart that was heading straight for Nullus who would notice it too late as he was sent back by the violent explosion, sending him away for about twenty meters before Meian suddenly teleported behind him and gave him a roundhouse kick, sending Nullus flying before Zi-O would suddenly appear from the front and deliver a fatal blow that would strike Nullus' waist with his sword. Of course, it wouldn't cut him down, but it would send him crashing down on the ground like a meteor which would create a giant crater.
Smoke rises through the giant crater...and the Kamen Riders who were now on the ground would wait and not underestimate the enemy that they were fighting. And it was a sound tactic as Nullus suddenly appeared five meters in front of them and fired a burst of orange flames that would try to engulf them like a supernova, only for Meian to swiftly redirect the flames back at Nullus who was almost caught up in his own attack when he teleported at the last moment.

And then suddenly...the memory would suddenly change.
The PreCure and everyone else would see two individuals standing on a hill, one that was no longer desolate.
The first was a young, handsome man with pale skin, brown hair and brown determined eyes, somewhere between eighteen and nineteen years of age, wearing a gakuran second was a young, handsome man with brown hair and brown determined eyes, somewhere between eighteen and eighteen years of age, wearing a gakuran uniform.
Most of the PreCure would immediately notice the first one, having seen him before in one of the memories that George had shown them when he was resting on the hospital bed.
"Hold on," Ako Shirabe muttered, looking at the first person. "Haven't we seen that person before?"
"You're...right, he's one of the Kamen Riders that we saw in that dream," Yuko Omori said, looking at the first young man with interest.
"Hanabishi Kaoru," Tatsuya Kaname said with a smile. "Kamen Rider Blade, one of our senpais."
"Then the other one, is that person a Kamen Rider too?" Hime Shirayuki asked, curious.
While she said this, the Heartcatch PreCure, especially Yuri Tsukikage, looks at the second young man with a concerned expression if only because the young man looks so very familiar. And their concerns were suddenly answered when a familiar memory begins to be seen.
"...!"
There they all were. Tsubomi Hanasaki, Erika Kurumi, and Itsuki Myoudouin, wearing their common clothing, and there was Yuri Tsukikage who was looking at the back of a young man that look to be about nine or ten years of age, taking something from his pocket. He turns around and would give what appeared to be...
"I want you to have this!"
...A love letter?!
"...EHHHHHHHHHHH?!" Most of the PreCure and the mascots were in shock as they look at Yuri who was widening her eyes in recognition.
"Wait! Wait! Wait!" Akane Hino exclaimed. "Someone actually confessed to Yuri-senpai?!"
"And he looks like he's somewhere around Ako-chan's age!" Hibiki Hojo exclaimed.
"..." Kaoruko Hanasaki was simply standing by, with a grim expression, not surprised at the least.
Yuri would see her past self widening her eyes while unconsciously touching the left side of her hair. She looks back at the young boy who had given her the letter, the young boy who simply smiled.
"...Thank you," Past Yuri would reply. "But I..."
"It's okay," the young boy reassured, raising both of his arms. Then he would turn around with a smile and both hands behind his back. "I just wanted you to know how I felt, Yuri-onee-chan." He side glanced. "I'm gonna eat all of my veggies, get lots of sleep, and become a big strong adult!" He turned around, moving right with his hands still behind his back. "I'll become the kind of man who can make sure you never feel sad again, Yuri-neechan!"
Yuri simply smiled, touched by what he said, nodding. "Eh."
And the memory would fade and return to the present time.
"...Ma...Masaka...?!" Erika Kurumi, catching on instantly, would feel shocked as she would look at the second young man with eyes of recognition.
"...Hayato...kun...?" Yuri Tsukikage muttered softly. Now that she notices, there were his eyes that were looking straight at the battle from below. They were eyes that made Yuri and the rest of the Heartcatch PreCure Team very concerned if only because they can feel his suffering, one built on a trauma so very long ago.
"("Yuri-neechan...")" His thoughts were suddenly revealed to everyone, especially to Yuri whose heart was stopping. "("...Have I catch up to you now...I wonder...?")"
"Hayato-kun..." Yuri muttered softly. A lot of questions were being brought up in her mind. Why was Hayato here? More importantly, why was Hayato a Kamen Rider? Even more, how come Hayato is a lot older than the young boy that she knew was a few years younger?
...Except.
"Could it be...that he's like Hikari-senpai's brother, that he's from the same alternate future timeline?" Setsuna Higashi spoke with a concerned tone.
"Eh!" Yuri's eyes widened and the same can be said for the rest of her comrades if only because of the implications. Now her worries were growing justified as she turned back to the memory.
"("...No...he's not going to go fight Nullus, is he...?")" She thought in dread.
There was a pat on the shoulder. The young man, Hayato Tachibana, would look to his left and see Kaoru, his fellow Kamen Rider and best friend, giving him a pat on the shoulder in a sign of support. Grateful, he smiled.
"Let's do this, aibou," Hayato said.
"Ah," Kaoru nodded seriously.
And then, they both would get something from their pockets. They were silver buckles and there were red cards that they would use to slip inside the buckles. Once the cards are inserted inside, they would place the buckles on the center of their waists. Automatically, red cards flew out from one slot around their waist and into the other end of the buckle. The belt would begin to chime and hum on stand-by mode.
Kaoru Hanabishi would begin to raise his right hand slowly, with his right index finger open and the rest of his fingers beside the thumb slightly closed, forming a check gesture. And then, he would raise his right hand forward.
Hayato Tachibana would begin to raise his left hand slowly towards the upper right, with his left index finger open and the rest of his fingers beside the thumb slightly closed, forming a check gesture. In the next moment, he would clench his left hand.
"Henshin!" they both exclaimed.
Kaoru would twist his arms like a circle, putting the left hand forward as it does a check gesture while putting the right hand down as he places it on the handle of the buckle, pulling the switch sideways as the central part of the buckle would rotate, revealing a golden spade design attached to a red rectangular surface in exchange.
Hayato would put his left arm to the side while twisting his right arm forward as the hand gets placed on the handle of the buckle, pulling the switch sideways as the central part of the buckle would rotate, revealing a golden spade design attached to a green rectangular surface in exchange.
TURN UP!
TURN UP!
And then instantly, two forcefields were seen to emerge from the buckles. Kaoru's blue forcefield had the image of a Hercules Beetle while Hayato's blue forcefield had the image of a Stag Beetle. Automatically, the forcefields would head back to them and engulf them, gaining them their respective armor.
In Kaoru Hanabishi's case, his armor consisted of a pure blue bodysuit. Covering the upper part of the body is a silver-colored torso-shaped armor in the center, with a spade dress in the center while the shoulder straps were flat with golden decorations on the arms and spade on the upper part. Gold bands were wrapped around his wrists and crossed metal strips were on the boots. Around his waist, the buckle remained unchanged with a spade symbol, on the side of the belt he has a sword with a blade as long as his arm and what appeared to be a kind of container built in front of the handle. In the end, his helmet was blue with a silver face and a single horn rising, emulating a rhinoceros beetle in the shape of the spade symbol.
Kamen Rider Blade.
In Hayato Tachibana's case, his armor consisted of a pure burgundy bodysuit. Covering the upper part of the body is a silver-colored torso-shaped armor in the center, with a spade dress in the center while the shoulder straps were flat with golden decorations on the arms and spade on the upper part. Gold bands were wrapped around his wrists and crossed metal strips were on the boots. Around his waist, the buckle remained unchanged with a spade symbol, on the side of the belt he has a gun and what appeared to be a kind of container built in front of the handle. In the end, his helmet was green with a silver face and two horns rising, emulating a stag beetle in the shape of the spade symbol.
Kamen Rider Garren.
"...!"
Yuri Tsukikage and the rest of the Heartcatch PreCure Team were in awe as they see the transformations occur. But they were also concerned most of all for the now transformed Kamen Rider Garren because he was someone that they knew. But most importantly, by transforming, it would be obvious that they are going to join the battle.
Then, both Blade and Garren would open their respective containers and hold a card and insert it into the scanners. The cards that they were using were much different from the normal cards that they would use.
SABER! ARCHER!
SABER! ARCHER!
The trays would automatically close as the cards would glow with the images of a Heroic Spirit of the Sword and a Heroic Spirt of the Bow would materialize. They glow with a bright blue color as they as it flies into their armor, charging it and creating a luminescent effect. Then they would suddenly become supersonic as they jump straight up toward the battlefield.
Nullus would sense something off as he would suddenly use his right hand to block a slash from a sword that was used against him. He notices Kamen Rider Blade, using his Rousing Sword Blay Rouzer against him, and the edge of its blade was tinted with a yellow color, one that held quite great power. Then he immediately notices shots were fired at his back on the ground, telekinetically stopping them from their tracks and sending them back to the opponent. Said opponent, Kamen Rider Garren, was now spinning around like a tornado and unleashing a barrage of swords that were being fired at Nullus who simply telekinetically stop their tracks, every single one of them, each sword that was forged and wielded by legendary heroes of myths and legends, mere copies of the originals.
After he sends Blade away by pushing the blade of his sword northwards, Nullus heavily focuses on Garren. Another Kamen Rider? No, far more than just that. Another Kamen Rider related to a PreCure that he had vanquished long ago, he supposed based on the person that he could recognize through his analytical skill. Yes, it was someone that he at least knows.
"It seems that we have quite an interesting reunion."
His eyes flashed a bit in interest as he said that. Yuri Tsukikage's heart stopped when she heard that. The rest of the Heartcatch PreCure were glued to the memory, also just as worried as Yuri.
"("No...! No! Not him! Not Hayato-kun!")" Yuri exclaimed within her thoughts, her eyes widening. She was afraid. She hadn't felt this kind of fear since her father and her fairy partner had died. Based on what she already knew about Nullus and his various accomplishments, to have Hayato, that young boy that she used to play with, that young boy that had conveyed his personal feelings for her, is now seemingly all grown up and fighting the monster that defeated the PreCure.
"It's alright, Tsukikage-san," Tatsuya reassured with an empathetic expression that drew her complete attention. "He's not gonna die either. He may not look like it, but Tachibana-senpai is quite tougher than he looks, although just because I said that, does not mean he wouldn't get seriously hurt."
Before Yuri or the other PreCure and mascot could ask, they would see Garren, after spinning around, now stopped from his tracks just as Nullus was making use of another card to scan with his Rousing Gun Garren Rouzer...
LANCER!
...By making use of the Heroic Spirit of the Lance Card.
A sound would interrupt as Nullus tried to get closer.
"KAAAAAAAAAAH!"
It struck! It made the PreCure Teams widen their eyes as they see the spectacle. Even Yuri could not believe it. Garren actually managed to at least grievously wound Nullus through the use of some kind of...lance...? Wait? What kind of lance is that? They all thought.
Nullus answered for them as he holds the spear to his side that was continually being shoved by Garren who was walking forward at a fast pace before stopping, holding on to the hold that the spear had taken to Nullus. "...The Spear of Destiny...Most impressive...that you managed to summon such a thing..."
"("Spear of Destiny?! Does he mean what I think he means?!")" Yuri thought in shock.
"You're using the Servant Cards, aren't you, boy?" Nullus, instead of being angry, would still respond with an intrigued tone. "Yes, I have researched that far-away cosmology, the one whose Root runs deep-KAH!"
A shot was fired. Blood spilled out. Just as there were more shots fired from his Rouzer Gun that was on his right hand that hold the power of the Undead, ancient immortal beings that could not die. And then, a few three shots and Nullus would teleport and multiply into many Nulluses. But Zi-O anticipated it by placing his Saikyo Girade on the ground, creating a temporal shockwave that eradicated all of the Nulluses, with the one Nullus being nowhere to be found.
All of the Kamen Riders were on high alert as Zi-O, Geiz, and Meian teleported to Garren's position, with Blade following close behind as he arrived with a dash. Then they form a circular formation, a type of back-to-back, looking from left to right, from up to down.
...Then.
They were suddenly force-pushed back in several directions, crashing down on the nearby trees and other ruins. Then Nullus reappeared in the center, with eyes narrowed. He teleported another instance, just near Garren as he was now telekinetically pushed to the wall which made a crack.
"KKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
Garren's screams were heard by Yuri Tsukikage, who gasped in horror, and the rest of the Heartcatch PreCure Team, and the rest of the PreCure Teams showing expressions of either horror or outrage as they see Garren getting electrocuted to death by Nullus, making use of the Pretty Cure Marble Screw attack, with only his left hand.
"A shock therapy for your recommended medical treatment," Nullus spoke very coldly. And then...
"KAAAHHH!"
At the same time, Nullus fired a pink energy blast that sends Blade flying over fifty meters away and crashing into a ruined house. And then, Nullus was knocked down by Zi-O as he used his Saikyo Girade to hit them suddenly in the waist, sending him flying, which would leave Garren almost falling to the ground were it not for Geiz to catch him and gently lower himself on the ground.
"Aibou, I got Garren-senpai, go!" Geiz exclaimed.
Zi-O nodded as he would teleport suddenly, leaving the two of them.
"Oi, senpai, you alright?" Geiz asked, concerned.
"...Ugggh, I...I feel like I just got the shock of a lifetime...but otherwise, I'm...good..." Garren grimaced a bit, still feeling the pain of being almost shocked to death.
And then suddenly...
"KKKKKKKAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH!"
They both screamed in pain as Nullus suddenly came in front of them and blasted the two northwards with a pink heart-shaped energy blast.
"Resting on the battlefield is for those who are born to die," Nullus muttered coldly with a quip, his irises sharpened as thunder suddenly strikes from above, providing an ominous scene, while continuing to fire a barrage of energy blasts that further sends them tumbling on the ground.
"KAH! KAH! KAH! KAH! KAH!"
And Yuri Tsukikage, who was watching all of this with a mixture of shock, horror, and outrage, bit her lips and clenched her fists.
"...How...How dare he...?!" She muttered softly.
And then, Geiz would teleport them both out of the way as they both hide inside a ruined building, with overturned tables and broken windows. Nullus would try to follow them, showing up in front of the ruined building, and fired an orange flame from the palm of his right hand which incinerated the building in flames. And then...
BULLET! FIRE!
Nullus get's continuously shot in the back by Garren who had been teleported by Geiz. And then, Geiz made a front roundhouse kick that sends Nullus on a hard left, or right from Garren's perspective, as he crashes to the ground before suddenly teleporting once more, using both of his palms to send the Kamen Riders away, with Geiz getting knocked down the incinerated house while Garren gets knocked on the ground before Nullus stepped on his torso to keep him from moving.
KICK! THUNDER! MACH! LIGHTNING SONIC!
There was a sudden blitz from multiple directions as Nullus gets slashed more than one hundred times before Blade jumps upwards and flips forward and delivers a Rider Kick with his right foot that was charged with blue electrical energy accompanied by a yellowish tint, landing at Nullus' torso and sending him a few meters away before a sudden explosion was felt. Blade, after the attack, landed on the ground and immediately head toward Garren's position. Meian was seen already right beside him, having teleported.
...Then.
Nullus would suddenly attack from nowhere, only to get intercepted by Zi-O and Geiz who used their respective weapons as they blocked the fists of the monster. In turn, they send him back a few meters away. Nullus used his feet to control his back flight and fired white and black lightning which was blocked with ease by Zi-O who was parrying them by telekinetically stopping their tracks. Then Zi-O pushed Nullus back again, letting him crash through a few abandoned buildings.
Only...
Nullus would suddenly show himself from afar, teleporting. His eyes were narrowed with a cold, calculative tone. Then he suddenly disappears and appears just near Blade and grabs him, throwing him away. Then he uses his left arm to knock down Meian who was standing in his way, brushing him down to the ground. Then Garren, who had been lying on the ground, would suddenly roll over by the time Nullus would use his left foot to crush him. Then...
"KRRRK!"
Nullus get's fired by multiple projectiles from Garren's gun.
BULLET! FIRE! ARCHER!
Then Garren stands up and fires multiple bursts of energy projectiles from his gun, followed by materializing blades of unique craftsmanship that were accompanying the multiple targeted hits. Nullus would stumble backwards with each projectile that hit through the torso and shoulders, sprouting unnatural blood.
DROP! FIRE! GEMINI! BURNING DIVIDE!
And Garren's memories would suddenly be seen by everyone, being shown of the many times that he had with Yuri Tsukikage when he was so very young. There was a memory where a young Hayato was hopping on the chalk circles while Yuri was watching with a smile, sitting on the side of the pant wall. There was a memory where they launched a toy plane in the air, with red-white wings. There was one memory where they play tag. With each memory, Yuri would recognize. The most important of all was her and Hayato standing in the sunset, watching it as they both smile. And then, there was another memory, one of a different kind, one that Yuri would not know, because this moment did not happen for her, but it did happen to the Alternate Future Hayato Tachibana. A brief scene, showing a very wounded Cure Moonlight who was simply smiling sadly at the crying young boy who was Hayato Tachibana.
It shook everyone. It shook Yuri who gasped.
And then the scene would suddenly switch back to Garren who would put his gun in his right holster as he cried out with a raised clenched left fist.
"YURI-NEECHAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNN!"
Then he put both of his feet into position and made a jump. As he did so, Meian would anticipate the next move of Nullus as he suddenly was bind by Meian via the summoning of rainbow chains that would lock him into position, allowing Garren to jump and do a front flip before eventually separating into multiple versions of himself, about five in total, as they swirl around in the air before initiating an upside down kick that creates a violent explosion that sends Nullus crashing down on the ground.
And at the same time this happened, Yuri Tsukikage could not help but cry as tears would slowly grace her face, seeing Garren slowly rising up from the ground.
