Kamen Rider Rogue.
It is the title that Gentoku Himuro has given himself. Having gone through "Hell," where he was mocked and tormented. At last, he has acquired the power of Kamen Rider. For a brief moment, he was on the verge of fulfilling his ambition, only to have it snatched away when the transformation was deactivated. Guards are now restraining him and transporting him elsewhere. They eventually arrived at some type of experimental lab. When the blast doors opened, a familiar face appeared.
"Utsumi..." Gentoku lets out a low growl, but Utsumi only responds with a stoic glare.
"Good day, Himuro. I see you are still doing well." Nariaki Utsumi was his former subordinate at Faust. He is the one who subjected him to the cruel experiments that turned him into Kamen Rider Rogue.
Gentoku shoots him menacing glares, but Utsumi maintains his stoic face and orders the guards to take Gentoku inside the laboratory.
Various machines and wires are installed deep within the laboratory. They are linked to a strange device in the room's center. The device resembles a mechanical hand with a red light glowing from its palm. The guards accompany him in front of the machine, and Utsumi begins to explain.
"This is Enigma, a machine capable of interacting with parallel worlds. It was created by Kaisei Mogami, a scientist at the Touto Institute. Perhaps you have heard of him before."
Gentoku vaguely remembered Kaisei Mogami as a scientist researching parallel dimensions and the "Bugster Virus" at the Sky Wall. His research was not supported by the government, so he was eventually transferred to Namba Heavy Industries, where Gentoku is currently imprisoned. He had no idea where Mogami had ended up, but it appears that the incidents also involved Sento Kiryu and a large number of other people.
"What are you planning to do here?" Gentoku asked Utsumi, but another voice interrupted him before he could speak up.
"If it is not obvious, you will be our guinea pig for this experiment." A deep, distorted voice was heard, and then a reddish figure appeared out of nowhere. It was Blood Stalk, a self-proclaimed Faust's strategist, that even Gentoku had trouble grasping him.
"You see, we were quite impressed with your performance as Kamen Rider Rogue. Thus, we have decided to use you as the subject of this experiment. Given that, you are the only worthy one among those pigs." Stalk finished with an echoing psychotic laugh.
"Enigma will be activated in 10 seconds. Bring him in closer." Utsumi directs the guards while activating the machine.
Gentoku is pushed closer into Enigma by the guards, and the machine opens its palm and glows brighter.
"Try not to die so soon, Gentoku. Ciao~" Stalk, waving him goodbye.
Gentoku was completely enveloped by light after that, and when it faded away, he was no longer there. There was a brief pause before Utsumi spoke up.
"Why did you put him through this? Did his transformation into Kamen Rider Rogue not satisfy you yet?"
"Hmm? Is there any other reason besides... it's fun! Hahahaha...!" Stalk let out another psychotic laugh.
Utsumi could not help but think Stalk was planning something behind him, so he kept his mouth shut and left the room. He could only hope that Himuro wouldn't have to deal with Stalk any time soon.
Three years...
Three years have passed since he was sent to another world by Enigma. In this world, the Pandora Box doesn't exist, nor does the Skywall. Japan wasn't divided into three separate nations. What surprised him the most was the fact that Koji Hotei, his childhood friend who had been killed by Blook Stalk, was still alive and working as an aide to his father, Taizan Himuro, Touto... no, Japan's Prime Minister. Neither of them remembers what happened in his world, which he is not sure is a good thing. Regardless, it appears that he has been given a second chance to correct his mistake, so he will ensure that everything goes smoothly this time. He will do whatever it takes to keep Japan safe, even if it means getting his hands dirty again.
"Gentoku, are you feeling okay?" He was snapped out of his thoughts by Hotei, who asked him with a concerned expression.
"Yes, I'm fine, Hotei." Gentoku gulps. "How was your meeting with Abkhazia's Prime Minister?"
Before saying anything, Hotei's face became stern. "Unfortunately, the situation in Abkhazia has not improved. This month, they have been subjected to a number of terrorist attacks. These Abkhazia attacks are suspected to be the work of a PMC."
Private millitary companies, or PMCs, are non-state organizations made up of professional soldiers that provide various military services in exchange for monetary or material compensation. It is a concept that allows paramilitary armies, state armies, and even terrorist groups to thrive in this world. Many PMCs make money by frequently assisting terrorists and international criminals in exchange for equipment and relief. Overall, the situation is similar to his world, if not worse.
Currently, Gentoku is accompanying Hotei on his trip to meet with Abkhazia's Prime Minister because he volunteered to be his personal bodyguard and to see the work of PMC firsthand.
"Hotei, what are you planning to do after this?" Gentoku asked, prompting Hotei to straighten up.
"With Abkhazia's current situation, I doubt we could make any progress." The Prime Minister was able to postpone the terrorist attack for the time being, but their forces are dwindling. We should return to Japan as soon as possible." Hotei said, and Gentoku was in deep thought.
Suddenly, an unexpected tremor caused the car to veer off the road and nearly flip upside down. Gentoku uses his superhuman strength to kick the door open and assist everyone exiting the car.
Gentoku exited the car and found several men in green body armor with plates covering their faces standing in front of him. Some were wielding large blades, while others were aiming their MAK-200 rifles directly at him. He motioned for Hotei to hide behind the car while he confronted the group.
"Judging by how you have greeted us, I don't think you are from the government." Gentoku said as he took the Crocodile Crack Fullbottle from his pocket and revealed the Sclash Driver attached to his belly. He then turned the Fullbottle's cap on.
DANGER!
Gentoku places the Fullbottle in the center slot of the Sclash Driver, creating a suspenseful sound.
CROCODILE!
"Henshin!" Gentoku said as he cranked the Activator Wrench. The Driver pressed the Fullbottle, filling the Jelly Tank with purple liquid. A machine begins to construct a massive beaker around him, which is then filled with purple liquid. Two jaws emerge from the ground, cracking open the beaker, and the Cell Face Crusher cracks open the helmet, revealing his eyes.
BREAK! CHOMP! CRUSH!
CROCODILE IN ROGUE! ORAA!
The men are taken aback by Rogue's transformation and open fire on him, but their bullets fail to make even a dent in him. Rogue charges at them, dispatching them one by one. The gunner was sent flying with a single punch. A jab to the body shattered their ribs. The swordsman tries to slash him, but Rogue catches them in time and snaps their blades in half. Rogue swings his claw knuckles at them, which spin at high speeds, shredding their bodies into pieces.
A massive sledgehammer swung down on him out of nowhere. Rogue was able to block it, and the force alone created a crater beneath him. He gripped the sledge with one hand while reaching for the Nebulasteam Gun with the other. He aims the gun at the enemy's torso and fires three consecutive shots, leaving a hole in his body. Rogue then flings the body away with ease.
Rogue's vision caught sight of a distant foe preparing to launch a rocket at him. He was able to react quickly to the rocket and fire steam bullets, killing the gunner in one shot. Rogue then scans the surrounding area to ensure that no enemies remain.
"Guh! Gentoku!" Rogue immediately turned his head to the sound of his friend, Hotei, who is slowly walking away from the flipped car and has a distressed expression on his face. Behind him, a man appears out of thin air, holding a blade close to Hotei's neck.
"Damn it, they have stealth technology. I was careless." Gentoku thought to himself. He is trying to remain calm while carefully observing the kippnapers' movements.
The man then grabs Hotei's and flees in the opposite direction. Rogue tried to follow him, but a large shadow looming over him caused him to come to a halt. When he looks up, he sees a massive robot mech descending on him. Rogue managed to avoid it in time, but the shockwave from the falls was enough to flip nearby vehicles and leave a huge crater. Without giving Rogue time to react, the mech grabs the massive axe in its back, which is equipped with two rocket-powered engines, and dashes toward Rogue. The mech swung the axe at Rogue and sent him flying a few meters away. Following that, the mech leaps into the air and chops him down with the axe. Rogue, however, manages to activate the finisher in time by cranking the Activator Wrench.
CRACK UP FINISH!
Rogue pushes his body up with his arm, then injects purple energy into his legs before performing a somersault kick attack on the mech, halting its attack. The mech loses its balance and falls sideways, but it quickly gets back on its feet.
"You fucking piece of shit. Do you really believe you can stop us from liberating this country?" A voice came from the machine. Now that Rogue has a clear view, he notices a blond man stationed within the mech body, his upper body appearing to be mechanical while his lower half is attached to a tangle of wires.
"Us? Liberate? What are you talking about?" Rogue was curious about what this man had said.
"I'm Khamsin, aka the desert storm, and we are... Desperado. We are the ones in charge of bringing this godforsaken country out of its sorry state." The blonde replied confidently. "Politicians, corrupt cops, and a fucking dumbass government care about no one but themselves. They brought the people here to suffer, but other countries and the UN were too pussy to speak out against them. So we take things into our own hands and be the ones to set the people free."
Rogue was silent for a moment before speaking up. "It is true that the citizens here have suffered the most, and I cannot speak on their behalf. I was just a piece of trash who had done nothing but harm to my own people. But even a fool like me can see that you are forcing others to accept your idea of freedom rather than helping them."
When Khamsin heard Rogue's words, he frowned in rage before changing to a smirk.
"Well, it does not matter; soon this country will know the taste of freedom, and you will die for it!" Khamsin let out a loud roar and prepared his weapon. Rogue also assumes a ready stance.

Both Rogue and Khamsin charge at each other. Khamsin swung his axe at Rogue once more, but this time he avoided it by leaping into the air. Inserting the Crocodile Crack Fullbottle into the Nebulasteam Gun, Rogue channels the energy and aims at the center of the mech, where Khamsin is piloting it.
FUNKY BREAK!
CROCODILE!
When the purple blast hits the mech, the explosion slightly pushes it back and staggers it.
"Goddamn piece of shit!" Khamsin grabbed Rogue and tried to crush him in his hand.
"Nowhere to go now." Rogue slashed his hand open with the Steam Blade as soon as Khamsin said it. After catching his opponent off guard, Rogue unleashes a series of close-range blasts on the mech.
FUNKY SHOT!
A powerful blast attack charged by the Fullbottle follows, chipping away at Khamsin's mech armor. Khamsin, enraged, leaps into the air, attempting to crush Rogue from above with his weight. The fall kicked up dust, creating a crater beneath Khamsin. Rogue takes advantage of Khamsin's obstructed vision, charging up his gun once more and looking for an opening. As the dust settled, Rogue crept up behind Khamsin and prepared to fire.
"Sandstorm!" Said Khamsin as he did a 360-degree spin, interrupting Rogue's attack. "Gotcha, motherfucker!" Khamsin immediately strikes Rogue with an axe swing to finish him.
Rogue manages to block it with the Steam Blade in a split second. His blade and the chainsaw axe collide, splattering sparks everywhere. The clashes last only a few seconds before Rogue uses his strength to deflect the axe away, causing the mech to stumble. With the Nebulasteam Gun and Steam Blade assembled into the Nebulasteam Rifle, Rogue fired at the mech hands.
FUNKY SHOT!
CROCODILE!
A large Cruncher Fang projection chomps off the mech's right hand. Khamsin, unable to use his axe, raises his fist and attempts to punch Rogue.
CRACK UP FINISH!
Rogue activated his finisher and delivered a punch in response. The two fists collided, but Khamsin's hand was completely shattered by Rogue's fist. Without giving Khamsin a second to rest, Rogue activated his finisher once again.
CRACK UP FINISH!
Rogue generates the Cruncher Fang on his legs, then uses them to repeatedly crush Khamsin's mech before lanching him away. Khamsin's machines are now completely destroyed, and he's left exposed to Rogue's merciless attack.
"Your dream ended here." Not giving Khamsin's a chance to say anything, Rogue grabbed him by the throat and pulled him out of the mech, then threw him high into the air and activated his finisher once again.
CRACK UP FINISH!
The Cruncher Fang crushed Khamsin's body and continued to grind it until it was nothing but bloody paste and exploded. Despite the fact that Khamsin's mech had been destroyed, a faint light flickered at the pilot station, and then a voice could be heard.
"Fucking hell... This is unacceptable... I cannot die here... Not as long as this country's liberty is guaranteed." Khamsin's voice came through the mech, though it was weak.
"Tell me now, where have they taken Hotei?" Rogue interrogates Khamsin in the hopes of learning more about his friend's whereabouts.
"Fuck you! Even if you go there, we will have already achieved our goal... The others will see to it..." Even as he draws his last breath, Khamsin chooses to believe in his cause.
"Idiot, I do not really care about this country to begin with." All I want to know is whether or not the PMC here would ever consider involving us in the first place."
"You piece of shit! What about the freedom of this whole country?!" Khamsin angrily asked.
"The only thing that matters to me is my country. I will make certain that my country is safe at all times. Even if it means doing dirty work again, as long as my country is safe, that is all that matters."
Khamsin coughed violently, and his voice died away before he could say anything. Rogue detransforms after confirming that his foe has finally died. He pulls out his phone and calls for help; he needs to know where the Desperado has taken Hotei and what they might want from him. He cannot bear seeing his friend die again, and he vows to himself that he will not make the same mistake he did in the old world. No one else should suffer the same fate as him ever again.
A woman in a tight bodysuit with dozens of hands was watching the battle from afar with great interest; she had a smile on her face and one of her hands was holding opera glasses.
"Les bras m'en tombent! I am curious who that adorable garçon is. He certainly knows how to fight." The woman stated that she was rubbing herself suggestively with her hands. "L'imbécile. This fight has nothing to do with freedom. Well, at least I will not have to listen to that idiot ranting anymore."
A digital screen appears near her, displaying various footage and data gathered from the battle between Rogue and Khamsin.
"Well, now I am hoping we will meet soon."Take care not to die too soon, boy." The woman said while licking her lips and watching the video.
Hello everyone! Daichung06 is back with another crossover one-shot. It's a crossover between the Kamen Rider Build series and the Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance game this time. It's Kamen Rider Rogue/Gentoku Himuro who introduces isekai to the MGR:R universe. I chose him over other Riders because, well, KR Build has a similar premise about secret government, patriotism, war, and so on. Given his own ideology, I believe Rogue would suit the Metal Gear world the best. Although I am not an expert on Metal Gear, I may get a few things incorrect here and there, so please don't be too harsh on me :(
Anyway, I hope you find this story enjoyable. If you have anything to say to me, please vote or leave a comment. I'll see you in the next story, and until then, good luck!
