In the depths of an old town, four gangsters were walking into a restaurant where an older man was eating his food. Soon, one of the men quickly placed a gun to his back while the leader of the gangsters sat at the table.
"You know why we're here, don't you?" the gangster with the gun warned him.
"You threw one of our kids into the hospital" the leader reminded him.
However the burly man didn't seem all that distressed, "Wait a moment. Food should be eaten in peace" he told them as he finished his food.
"Thank you for the meal…" the man muttered.
He then immediately punched the leader's lights out before grabbing the gun gangster's arm and forcing him to fire the weapon away from him an at a random part of the stone wall. The burly man then proceeded to knock down the various criminals while the people watched.
"That was delicious, ma'am. Thank you for the meal" he thanked the cook as he placed down his payment and left the restaurant just as the police arrived.
However as he did so, he clutched his heart and dropped his wallet, a picture of a young girl nestled within in it. The man soon looked at the picture and got back up.
Meanwhile, as the four gangsters were being taken away, one of the restaurant patrons asked one of the onlookers, "That man was amazing. Who exactly was he?"
"You don't know?" the onlooker questioned him, "That was… Takeshi Hongo!"
KAMEN RIDER 50TH X KINGDOM HEARTS 20TH
RIDER TIME: KAMEN RIDER THE FINAL
ACT 1: THE FIRST
Meanwhile, in one club room of L'Aviner Academy, there was a small gathering of students from the area ready to witnessing something.
"Come on, go get 'em!" one student called out.
"You can do this!" another cheered on.
"Heh, you aren't going to survive this!" Rex chided his opponent.
"Oh really, then give it your best shot!" Grant growled.
"Alright then, here goes!" he declared as he made his move…
"With the Scale 1 Stargazer Magician and the Scale 8 Timegazer Magician, I set the Pendulum Scale!"
Rex soon placed two cards down on the Duel Disk toy he wore, shocking the onlookers as his friends and fellow Gaming Club members cheered.
"Finally he plays those cards! I was worried that he would have had his deck taken down by Grant's deck already!" Junichi said as he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Psh, do you really think setting a Pendulum Scale really help you?" the soldier questioned him, "I still have two of my Legendary Six Samurai on the field, while you only have Air Hummingbird and Grand Mole on yours. There's no way you can take down my life points in this turn. You're done…"
"That's where you're wrong! You forget that I can now summon monsters from levels 2 – 7 !" he declared as he placed three more cards down, "Now, I special summon from my hand Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon, Elemental Hero Neos and Neo-Spacian Aqua Dolphin!"
"Huh, so he's setting up for Storm Neos?" Weiss observed as Rex had a confident smirk on his face.
"Interesting, but I got something that can prevent you from fusing!" he noted as he flipped over a card on his field, "I activate the Trap Card Non-Fusion Area! This way, neither of us can perform any form of Fusion Summon on the field!"
"That's where you're wrong!" Rex said with a smirk, "Something told me that you'd have that, so I had this set up just in case" he said before revealing one of his face-down cards, shocking the whole classroom.
"What the?! Dust Tornado?!" the soldier gasped.
"Yep! Now as I set another card from my hand, your Non-Fusion Area is destroyed!" the young king declared, earning some cheers from the class. 'And I didn't even need Future Vision to prepare for this eventuality…' he thought to himself.
"Man, this duel is heating up!" Sora noted as he watched the battle with glee.
Suddenly, Redwing and the Fang Raptor appeared and landed onto the duo's Duel Disks.
"What the?!" the pair gasped as the Ride Gadgets were on high alert, "Hey come on guys, I'm just about to win here!" Rex grumbled.
"Hey, what is that Wells-san?" one of their classmates asked.
"Oh, this? It's just something from Grant's dad he gave us" the young king noted as he was forced to pack up his deck alongside the soldier, who along with Sora immediately knew something was up. "We'll pick this up later?"
"Definitely…" Grant said as the three bolted off, much to the confusion of the crowd.
"Oi! Sempai, wait for me!" Rentaro shouted as he ran after the pair, "What's going on?"
"Trouble, and if I have to guess, likely it's one of the Grongi deciding to come out and play after the Another Rider attacks" the young king relayed to the ninja-in-training as he switched out the Duel Disk for his Watch Holder.
Meanwhile in the city, the citizens were fleeing in terror while the police tried to rally them behind their barricade, aiming their weapons as the perpetrators.
Said perpetrators, was a squadron of men in skeleton-like bodysuits, along with a mutated lizard-like monster, a green crab and bat-like chimera monster, and blue crab like monster with a large right claw. The belt on the lizard monster was the same as the skull men, all of them bearing a silver symbol that housed a bird roosting on top of the world, while the crab monster has a bronze belt, and crab bat monster lacked the belt.
"I can never get enough of the sound of human screeching!" the lizard monster laughed.
"Don't play around too much, we have but one target" the crab bat monster chided his comrade.
They soon spotted in the crowd a young girl wearing the L'Aviner female uniform but in mostly blacks and greys, running alongside Henrietta, Weiss, Saaya, and Aguri.
As the girl tripped, the crab bat monster spotted her and the others in the distance.
"There's the woman! Get her!" he ordered.
Quickly, the girls helped her up as Henrietta and Weiss readied herself for a fight, twirling her spear around as she did so. Once the skull men came close, the pair began to fight them off, knocking down any mook that got close to them.
"Make a run for it! We'll cover you!" the resistance fighter stated as she shot down a skull man with her blaster.
"Don't worry, we'll be alright!" the purple-haired girl reassured them.
Saaya understood and directed them away from the fight as Henrietta and Weiss began to push back as much as they could.
"Grah! Why do you wenches have to get in the way! Be gone!" the lizard monster shouted at them.
"Sorry, but it's you who's gonna be gone!" Weiss noted before taking out her Ziku Driver and activating her Ridewatch.
TSUKUYOMI!
Once she slotted it in, Henrietta protected her friend while she transformed, switching her spear into it's staff mode to allow her to cast magic.
"Reflectga!" she declared, creating a barrier while Weiss unhooked the driver.
"Henshin!"
With a spin of the belt, the moon clock fired out it's katakana letters and hit some of the skull men while her Rider suit formed.
RIDER TIME! KAME~N~ RI~DER~ TSUKU~YOMI~! TSU~KU~YO~MI~!
"What the?! A Kamen Rider?!" the lizard monster gasped.
Now in her Rider form, Henrietta and Tsukuyomi dashed into battle as they fought the lizard monster directly. The latter soon slapped her palms together as she created a prism that exploded into several bursts of light, attacking the lizard monster from all sides.
"Tsk, a magician, I should have known!" he growled as he rushed at the moon Rider, only for his assault to be blocked off by the purple-haired girl's spear's staff mode.
"She's not the only one!" she declared as she then raised it into the air, creating a burst of magic to push the lizard monster and a few skull men away.
However with Saaya, Aguri, and the girl, their escape wasn't working as they were left surrounded by the skull men. The blonde girl grabbed a nearby gent pipe to use as a weapon to ward the skull men off, but the crab monster soon approached them.
"You're Mayu Tachibana, right? We need your power!" the crab monster said before
"Me? But why?" Mayu, the girl Saaya and Aguri were trying to protect, questioned the monster it dodgeda swing from Aguri.
"Stay away from her, you Grongi bastard!" she shouted.
"Tsk, as if we would align ourselves with them again!" the beast laughed.
Suddenly, several bullets flew forward and knocked the crab monster back, allowing the trio to escape while Ichijo and his men aimed their weapons at monsters.
"Stay away from the girls!" he warned them.
"Tsk, get out of the way…" the crab monster growled as the monsters were ready to fight the police, until the two sides, and the girls, noticed a new group enter the scene.
"What the?" Tsukuyomi gasped as three individuals, one a man in a black jacket over a white shirt, a woman who wore the opposite, a man in brown, and a squadron of what seemed to be improved versions of the skull men, all bearing the same red armbands and pauldrons walked forward.
"Y-You guys?!" the lizard man gasped.
"Long time no see, members of Shocker Prime" the man greeted.
"You bastards!" the crab bat cursed at them, "Wolga, Eagra, Buffal!"
"We saw you perish years ago, how the hell are you three still alive?!" the crab monster growled at the trio.
"How rude" Eagra sighed, "You're assuming that we're even the same ones you know from your timeline…"
"The group you see now are the remnants of the Shocker group who perished at the hands of the Riders of this timeline" Wolga explained, "However, from those ashes we will rise again…"
"Ha! Do you three seriously think you can revive Shocker on your own? Don't make me laugh!" the lizard monster snarked.
The trio soon transformed as Wolga became a white wolf monster, Eagra became a blue bee-like monster with a pair of eagle claws for hands, and finally Buffal became a strange green demon monster with red wings.
"You gotta be kidding me, Shocker's back?!" Tsukuyomi gasped.
"You mean the same people the Triple Riders fought?" Henrietta asked as the moon clock Rider nodded.
"Get them!" the lizard monster roared as the two groups quickly engaged each other in an almost gang war-like battle.
Wolga's wolf-like speed was able to match the lizard monster and crab monster's raw power, while Buffal was much more vicious and to the point. Eagra, while not as strong as her fellow kaijin, made up for it with how fast her sword was, cutting through the enemy forces like butter.
As the two Shocker forces battled, Tsukuyomi and Henrietta confused for a brief moment before they realized they needed to escape. Once the moon clock Rider creates a barrier of solidified light around the girls and the others, the two quickly helped the girls to safety with her, Ichijo and a couple of cops backing them up.
'Come on, where are you Rex?' Henrietta thought before spotting the young king alongside Grant, Sora, and Rentaro, having just arrived to the battle.
"What… what is this?" Sora asked as he looked at the skirmish at hand.
"Looks like we got two villain factions fighting each other…" Grant observed, "From the looks of their soldiers, we got two splinter factions from Shocker fighting it out…"
This caused both the young king and Rentaro's eyes to widen as the former turned to the soldier.
"Shocker? I thought those psychos were taken out fourteen years ago!" Rex gasped, "There's no way that they're back!"
"You know about Shocker?!" the soldier questioned the young king.
"Who hasn't?" he remarked, "They were the cause of a lot of heartaches in Japan, and boy was it not pretty…"
"But that doesn't make sense, Shocker was first formed in 1971, not 2005" the soldier said aloud.
"Did you forget where we are?" the young king reminded him, causing Grant to shake his head as the trio returned their attention back to the attacking Shocker troops.
Now wasting any time, the trio quickly took out their respective Drivers while Sora prepared a Drive form.
ZIKU-DRIVER!
HIMITSU DRIVER!
The trio soon quickly readied their transformations and prepared for battle.
ZI-O/GEIZ!
GAMA, HASHIN!
"Henshin!"
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER~! ZI-O!
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RI~DER! GEIZ!
DARE JA? ORE JA! NIN~JA! SHINO~BI~! KEN~ZAN!
With their Rider armors formed, the trio soon joined Tsukuyomi as they helped defend Hagakumi from the incoming flux of Shocker henchmen. Zi-O quickly began cutting through both types of Shocker henchmen before the trio started fighting the kaijin with a slight numbers advantage.
"Glad to see you kids join in" Ichijo chuckled after the silver clock Rider took down one of the Shocker combatmen.
"Glad to be here!" Shinobi answered as he fired out a purple tornado to fling some of the combatmen into the sky.
ME~GA~TON~ NIN~POW!
As the villains' numbers thinned out, Zi-O soon glared at the wolf kaijin.
"I see now, you're Kamen Riders Zi-O, Geiz, Tsukuyomi and Shinobi" Wolga noticed as his comrades turned their attention towards the quartet of Riders before looking towards Sora and smiled, "And of course, you've brought us a Keyblade. I must say, it is stunning to see this weapon in person."
Sora stepped back, "How do you know about the Keyblade?"
"We know about a lot of things…" the wolf kaijin said with a sadistic grin.
"Alright, how the heck are you back? Last I heard your base was blown to kingdom come!" the young king demanded from the wolf kaijin.
"You don't need to know, since you and your friends are going to die!" the wolf laughed before the Shocker kaijin and the Riders began fighting each other, with Wolga and Zi-O battling each other.
During the skirmish, Henrietta, Mayu, Saaya, and Aguri saw their chance to escape and fled the battlefield, but not before the lizard kaijin spotted them.
"Don't let those three escape!" he ordered, sending a few of his henchmen to chase after her.
"Go! Protect Tachibana!" Ichijo ordered, with a few officers charging in to battle the Shocker combatmen.
As the two groups began to fight, Saaya saw that the officers were covering their escape.
"Come on, let's go!" Saaya shouted as the trio made a break for it. However their path was cut off by a few Shadow Heartless appearing.
"Great, not these things!" Aguri grumbled as they soon found themselves surrounded, but not for long as the purple-haired girl pushed a nearby dumpster into them.
"Hey, over here!" she shouted at the creatures, clearly turning their attention to her as the creatures followed.
While the blonde tomboy was scared for her friend, she knew she and Saaya had to get out of the warzone before things got worse.
Meanwhile, Zi-O and Wolga were still brawling as the skirmish waged on.
"I see that the power of the demon king still remains with you, boy!" Wolga growled as they locked horns.
"Glad to know my reputation precedes me!" the silver clock Rider noted before punting the monster away, afterwards dialing in two Riders.
HEY GHOST! HEY KIVA!
"Eat this!" he declared as he summoned his Zikan Gilade and took on a stance similar to Miyamoto Musashi, all before pulling the trigger on his main sword before unleashing a pair of two claw-like sword slashes.
GHOST-KIVA DUAL TIME BREAK!
While the attack was able to hit, Wolga was able to fight off the power much to the silver clock Rider's shock.
Luckily, just when things seemed dire, an older man in a biker jacket quickly arrived and started fighting both Shocker troops and Heartless. As Zi-O, Sora and Geiz battle against the crab bat and the lizard man, they soon saw this stranger doing his best to fight them off.
"Who is he?" the Keyblade wielder asked.
"It can't be…" Geiz gasped.
"Ichigo?" Tsukuyomi muttered.
However, the silver clock Rider was left speechless as he looked at this man, giving Wolga the opportunity he needed to send a powerful shockwave into him, knocking him into a nearby pillar before his troops escaped.
"Rex!" Sora called out as he and Henrietta helped him back to his feet.
They soon return to Rex's house where the purple-haired girl and Saaya, who came to visit, helping them with the recovery process.
"So Shocker is back huh?, Who would have thought those guys would come back after so long…" the young king commented as he looked at the bandages around his arms.
Grant decided to ask something of the natives of 2019-B, "I remember you said that Shocker was destroyed fourteen years ago. But, from what the official records are meant to be, Shocker was destroyed 48 years ago. Why is that?"
Isaiah soon opened up the Rider Legacy book as the others gathered around him, "According to this book. Long, long ago, a secret organization known as Shocker tried to take over the world, doing so by any means necessary. They even resorted to turning regular people into cybernetic monsters."
This was nothing new for the group but Isaiah continued, "However, as my prince mentioned, in 2005, they were destroyed after Hopper #1, this timeline's Kamen Rider Ichigo, alongside Hopper #2, Kamen Rider Nigo. Then, two years later, they were hunted down by Hopper Version 3, only for him to join them in destroying the revived Shocker once and for all…"
After he closed the book, the commander sighed, "Ever since, Shocker tried to escape the Riders by moving their base out of Japan, but Ichigo would soon hunt them down once more in secret, leaving them in ruins by present day."
"Wow, and to think those three were strong enough to take down a whole organization…" Sora said as he marveled at the accomplishments of Ichigo, Nigo, and V3.
"But Isaiah-san, why is it that Shocker's back from the dead? And what is with those other monsters? They didn't seem to look like the ones in that book?" Saaya asked.
"That's because they were more than likely dragged into our timeline via the rifts. More than likely from 2019-A" he theorized.
"So those three are from Sougo's timeline?" Rex realized.
"Despite this, the Shocker of the original timeline and the Shocker of this one are now once more active. More than likely they will try and bring back old dredges of the villains menacing here. Such as the Grongi, Smart Brain, Museum, even the Megiddo…
Then, they heard a familiar figure soon finish, "And the remaining Chrono Horsemen loyal to Lord Vortigern."
The group turned to find Tsukasa Kadoya wandering into the house. The Riders present there were surprised to see the destroyer of worlds arrive at the young king's place whilst Saaya was shocked to find that he knows about the enemies Rex and company had faced.
"Wait, what do you mean remaining?" she asked for clarification
"Yeah, Zero got the boot after last week" Sora explained, telling her of their their prior encounter in 2019-A.
"Even without their leader, it's clear that this Shocker is out for vengeance and I am not going to let them use my home to do so!" Zi-O declared.
Weiss nodded as she got up, "It's just, why would they target Mayu-sempai? Is it because she's a Tachibana?"
"I guess you'll have to ask her that tomorrow" Tsukasa noted, "Considering that most of you are in the same class."
"Yeah, second year, like the rest of us" Rex recalled.
"Also!" the photographer remembered… before plopping a bunch of homework on the younger members of the team.
"What the?! What's all this?!" Sora gasped.
"Consider this extra credit, but I want you guys to study as much of the Showa Era of Riders as you can" he told them, "This includes you, Yakushiji."
"Are you kidding me?!" Rex grumbled as he slumped down, "Ugh, this is the worst…"
"No backtalking my prince, I'll be watching over you and the others during this, frankly impromptu study session. So at least endure it if you want to have a good grade" Isaiah noted with a smile.
Rex and Sora groaned in defeat while the others didn't mind as much and began studying.
Meanwhile, within a large building, the three defected Shocker Kaijin stood in audience of several people with the same armbands.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, members of the fallen Shocker. We welcome you. Despite our previous endeavors, we have constantly fallen to the Kamen Riders across the ages. However, now, we will rise again and claim what is rightfully ours!" Wolga addressed the audience as they all clapped.
"As you know, our world is not the only one in the universe, neither is our current realm the only one of it's kind. Now, as we open our horizons towards a new goal, it is time for us to take the next step in evolution!" he continued while showing footage of the various worlds, "Starting with this world, we will use this as a stepping ground towards other realms not seen by our eyes, and become one of the strongest organizations in the multiverse. It will not just be Kamen Rider no Sekai that will be dominated, but rather the whole of the Realm of Light, and soon, we may even be able to claim Kingdom Hearts itself!"
He then made his declaration, "Today, we rise… as Nova Shocker!"
The audience soon cheered as Wolga smirked, 'Alright, let's see if you can save your world, Kamen Rider Zi-O…'
"So, it really has come to this?" the lizard monster, Bearded Lizard Man, noted as they watched the speech from above, "Shocker lives on in this era…"
"It feels strange of them to invite us to join their cause, even after we had battled as enemies earlier." the crab monster Siomaneking stated, "Perhaps they value our seniority?"
"Perhaps, especially given how they've helped us in reviving Ambassador Hell" the crab bat Ganikoumoru noted as he turned to a chamber that held an old man in black and gold armor.
"Yes, and with him, we can likely help end this world's Riders" the lizard monster noted, "When this happens, the one the ambassador wants is…"
He then placed an image on the table, "Mayu Tachibana. With her, we can start Operation Tackle and bring about the power of these three Riders and steal the power of the Keyblade."
Afterwards, four more photos were placed down, ones that displayed Rex, Grant, Weiss, and Sora.
"With it, the symbol of Shocker will spread around the Realm of Light!" the lizard monster declared.
On the night rooftops of Hagakumi City, Zero was watching the city below in an almost melancholic look. He then took out the Dark DecaDriver that he still had after fusing with Dark Decade and becoming re-completed.
'Where do I belong now? I have been cast out of my own faction, and while my Overlord might be willing to me joining him, his allies likely and expectedly would not trust me.' He thought.
He soon got up and looked towards several Nova Shocker grunts partying like there's no tomorrow. The herald was contemplating on this development. There was no question that Shocker in Sougo's timeline was dead, doubly so. However, he was surprised when he sees that Rex's timeline had it's own Shocker.
'I must seek my Overlord, perhaps there might be something I could do for his cause…' he thought as he transformed into Dark Kabuto and used Clock Up to zip through the night sky.
The next day, Rex's class were trying their best to keep up with the lesson Isaiah was teaching as Mayu looked towards a few of her classmates, namely Rex and Sora as they tried their best to stay awake, Weiss who was taking notes and passing them to those who were trying to stay, Henrietta who was reading her textbook casually, and Grant who was just focused on listening to the lecture.
'It's hard to believe that these guys are Kamen Riders, or even have those powers…' she noted.
Later, as lunch period happened, Mayu was talking with her friends. Sora, who spotted the trio, decided to observe the trio from a distance.
"It's nice to be outside. The wind's so nice." One of her friends said as they marveled at their bento boxes.
'She seems like a normal girl' the Keyblade wielder thought.
Mayu soon saw Sora in her direction and nodded, giving him a smile. Next, at gym class Mayu was playing volleyball alongside Henrietta, Weiss, and Aguri. Saaya and the rest were cheering them on as the ball flew towards them. Rex, seeing the ball, turned and tossed it back towards Maya's team as she thanked him.
'She seems like a good kid, kind of cute too. So why does something tell me that she's hiding something?' the young king thought as he felt a tinge of fear while near her.
Finally, as the school day, ended, the group saw Mayu alone as they were leaving the school gate. The Keyblade wielder and the young king were nudged into going to confront her.
"Um, Mayu Tachibana-san, right?" Rex asked.
"Yeah?" she asked.
"We actually got some questions for you actually." The Keyblade wielder said.
"Oh, I got work right now. But if you two can wait until afterwards?" she said.
"Part-time job?" Rex guessed as she sighed.
"You're not the only one who's got work outside of school, Wells-san." Mayu told her.
As it turned out, Mayu worked part time at a flower shop run by a friend of Yusuke's named Tángláng, which was a surprise to the young king. She soon left the store and saw the pair waiting and headed towards them with some flowers.
"Sorry for making you wait, Wells-san, Irino-san." she apologized, "Please, take these."
"Um, thanks?" the young king thanked her in confusion.
"I'm sure that Tristan-san and your friend Kairi would love these flowers." Mayu said with a mischievous grin, causing the young king to blanche as he looked away with a bit of a red face, letting her have a giggle.
"Well, she seems like she's got nothing going on with her. I mean there's still a bad feeling I'm getting from her, but overall Mayu-chan Is a nice girl" The young king reported before looking towards Sora, who was still surprised by the flowers.
"M-Mayu-chan?!" Henrietta gasped.
"Likely she is just being targeted by Shocker for being a Tachibana, a kind of petty reason if you ask me." the Keyblade wielder theorized, earning a nod from Grant and Isaiah.
Henrietta wasn't impressed, "Rex, Sora, don't tell me that you two fell for Mayu, did you?" she questioned them with a glare.
"What?! No! Heck, she actually said this is meant for you." Rex said in his defense, giving the purple-haired girl the flower which surprised her, "And besides, from what Sora and I learned from her parents dying due to the Grongi attacks, to living and working by herself, she… she kind of reminded me… of me…"
She knew what he meant, 'He saw a kindred spirit… I guess that must have tripped Rex's 'help' senses.'
"So, if the reason why Shocker is after Mayu is revenge, I'm not going to stand by and let them have their way." Rex declared.
This made the others smile as Grant smirked, 'Glad that Zi-O is still the same as always.' he thought to himself.
Donald soon noted at how Henrietta had reacted to what the pair had said and smirked.
"You know, if you were worried about Rex being taken away by Mayu, you could just say it." he pointed out, causing the pair to blush.
"Oh no, I am NOT jealous of Mayu! Rex is my best friend, that's it!" she stated firmly.
"Yeah, what the heck Donald?!" Rex growled.
The duck and dog rolled their eyes at this while Weiss giggled at the pair, leaving Grant to shake his head at this display.
"Well, if you want to handle talking to Mayu-san tomorrow, you and I could handle it." the resistance fighter said.
Sora nodded, "I think that sounds good. Plus, Mayu could use a couple more friends."
"Oh no, Sora, you're still coming along." Henrietta said, "You're still keeping an eye on her, we're just subbing in for Rex."
"Because you don't want another girl winning over your childhood friend, right?" Grant asked plainly, "Even I can see how cliché that trope's become."
"S-SHUT UP!" the purple-haired girl yelled.
The next day…
"So, your best friends have superpowers, right?" Mayu asked as she hung out with Henrietta and Weiss as they walked to school along Sora.
"I guess so. It's kind of surprising when you really think about it." The purple-haired girl admitted, "One day you're just talking with your best friend about what they want to be in the future, the next you're fighting for your life against monsters that wouldn't feel out of place in a Sunday TV show or a video game. I mean, I'm slowly learning how to perform magic."
"Yeah, and it's not like it's always danger. Sometimes you get to meet so many cool heroes along the way." The Keyblade wielder added on.
"Honestly, I doing think we'd have it any other way." Weiss noted with a smile.
As Mayu smiled, this gave the girls the same feeling the boys had, 'She definitely seems nice'
Suddenly, Mayu felt her chest hurt as she topped over, causing the resistance fighter to panic while the purple-haired girl and the Keyblade wielder caught her.
"Tachibana-san?!" Weiss gasped.
"Are you alright?" Hernietta asked, "What's wrong, Tachibana-san?"
However, Weiss soon noticed a dark aura form around Mayu before a burst of darkness tossed the trio away.
'Well now I can see why Rex thought something felt off about her…' she noted.
Mayu soon shook off that brief burst as she looked towards the girls with worry, "I am so sorry!" she apologized, "My mind just went into a haze…"
"Can we talk for a bit?" Sora asked, "That didn't look at all normal."
Mayu soon nodded… only for several Shocker henchmen and Heartless appeared to surround the girls.
"Shocker AND the Heartless?!" Weiss growled as she and Henrietta summoned their weapons.
The girls then began to fight off the two forces as the resistance fighter began using her Luminous Fractor to knock the Heartless back while Henrietta began spinning and stabbing Shocker Combatmen with her spear. Mayu quickly joined in, using her martial arts training to block and toss the Shocker Henchmen into the Heartless.
"Come on!" Mayu called out before the three tried to flee, only to run into the crab monster, Siomaneking.
"Mayu Tachibana, I am here for your heart." Siomaneking stated, "We will deal with you three later…"
"You're not getting anything out of us!" Weiss growled while the pair kept their guard up.
"Tsk, so the two princesses wish to face us? Fine!" the crab monster roared before he began fighting the girls one-on-two.
As the battle continued to escalate, Weiss was about to transform when she saw Takeshi leap in and kick Siomaneking away.
"Ichigo-sempai!" the resistance fighter sighed in relief.
"Are you three okay?" he asked the trio.
"Takeshi…" she muttered.
He then glared at the Shocker troops and Heartless in front of them while the girls stood at the ready. The man soon stepped forward while the Shocker mooks kept their distance. When some of the Heartless tried to get near him, Takeshi kicked and punched each one away.
'So this is the other Zi-O's Ichigo…' the crab monster observed, "He's definitely younger than I remember him."
After throwing off his jacket, he activated his belt, a silver belt with a red turbine in the middle.
He then leaped into the air as a burst of wind appeared before he landed in his Rider form, a black bodysuit with green gloves and boots, alongside a green chestplate. His helmet was in the shape of a grasshopper with a green mouthguard, red eyes, and a red muffler around his neck. This was the alternate version of Takeshi Hongo. Hopper Ichigo.
As Hopper Ichigo performed his mainline counterpart's classic transformation pose, his helmet's eyes lit up as soon began fighting the monsters on his own, at least until Sora slashed one of the Heartless trying to kill him away.
"Need some backup?" he asked.
Hopper Ichigo looked away for a moment before the two began to fight on their own, with the former handling Shocker's henchmen while Sora dealt with the Heartless. Weiss in the meantime, quickly helped keep a barrier around herself, Henrietta, and Mayu to make sure that Siomaneking didn't get the girl.
Back with Sora and Hopper Ichigo, the Keyblade wielder could notice that the warrior definitely was much more experience than he was. Rex and Grant soon arrived to the scene as Zero watched the fight from afar.
"What's that? Is that Ichigo?" the soldier asked.
When he turned to Rex for answers, the young king was left frozen while watching the grasshopper Rider fight against Shocker.
"Zi-O, what's wrong? Zi-O!" he called out to the boy, but it seemed like he didn't listen.
In his mind however, something began to echo in his mind.
"You have to be strong for now on. We'll always be in your heart, my little king…"
"Zi-O!" Grant called out again, finally snapping the boy out of his thoughts.
"R-Right, let's go!" he declared as he activated the Zi-O and Decade Ridewatches.
ZI-O!
D-D-D-DECADE!
Grant nodded as he activated the Geiz and Showa Ridewatches.
GEIZ!
SHOWA!
"Henshin!"
ARMOR TIME! KAMENRIDE. WOW! DECADE! DECADE! DE~CA~DE~!
ARMOR TIME! LET'S RIDE! SHO~WA~!
As she watched Zi-O and Geiz join the battle, Weiss smirked as she took out the Tsukuyomi Ridewatch alongside another, the Shinobi Ridewatch.
TSUKUYOMI!
SHINOBI!
"Come, ShinobiArmor!"
After slotting both Ridewatches into her Driver, she spun them and caused a purple tornado to form around herself, sending some of the Shocker henchmen into the sky while her armor formed. She gained a purple shoulderpad that resembled the Shuriken Starter while her cape was gone in favor of a new white and gold muffler. Her chestplate also resembled that of Shinobi's own while her arm gained a new set of kunai on them. Finally, her helmet received a new design to match Shinobi's complete with the clock hands now resembling kunai, while the hiragana for Shinobi's name appeared on her helmet.
ARMOR TIME! KEN~ZAN! SHI~NO~BI~!
With her increased speed, she began taking down the Shocker Henchmen with her increased speed while Zi-O and Geiz cut through the last remaining Heartless. This left the crab monster to Hopper Ichigo and Sora as the former kicked the monster into the air before he leaped after him. Sora soon joined in as he readied his Blitz attack. Once he delivered two of the leaping slashes, he knocked Siomaneking into the air for Hopper Ichigo to land a Rider Kick on him, killing the crab monster.
"Glory to Shocker!" the crab monster cried out before he exploded in the sky.
"Wow…" Sora said in amazement.
The group de-transformed as Ichigo got a good look at them.
"Takeshi Hongo, I presume?" Rex asked fearfully.
Takeshi said nothing as he removed his helmet while Mayu was just as surprised.
"Is that really you, uncle Takeshi?" she asked him.
The man was just surprised as he walked towards her.
"Mayu…" he muttered while the two briefly stared, at least before the girl slapped him and ran off, much to the group's surprise.
"M-Mayu-san!" Henrietta called out as Takeshi continued to watch her leave.
(SONG: Inevidable – SymaG)
/ten ga tsuba wo haita
Boku ra no shiawase ni annei no zujou ni/
It soon showcases a barren battlefield as Kamen Rider Ichigo walked on his own
/Kasuka ni iki wo shita adokenai inochi ni ketsumatsu ga oou/
He soon passes by various broken helmets of various Kamen Riders, the battlefield almost begining to resemble the Keyblade Graveyard as more Rider helmets appear
/nanimo ira nu
Koe mo kokoro mo katachi mo anata mo sutete/
Slowly, several of the helmets are shown in full, such as Nigo and V3's helmets being burned, then Decade, Kuuga, and Gaim being broken by the scars of war, and finally Saber's being mostly pristine while Zero-One's helmet is shattered.
/tokoshie ni hidamari wo hohoemi wo
Sasayaka ni tomoru akari wo/
Once the camera returns to Ichigo, suddenly quick flashes of Ichigo's creation, Kuuga passing his belt onto the next user, and Zero-One mourning Izu's death appear before a massive storm hits the battlefield. Ichigo soon holds onto his scarf as the storm began to grow intense, with several helmets (Shinobi, Quiz, Kikai, Dante, Showa) crumbling to dust
/Mamoremasu you ni tsuzukimasu you ni
Dare ni inoreba ii no darou/
As the storm gets worse, he looks up to see the spirits of Nigo and V3 looking towards him. However the images soon disappear as the rain stops and the storm finally clears.
/Saa ikou tsumiageta kami no kabane no ue/
He soon arrives at two helmets, one of Zi-O, and one of Revi. The sky soon clears as he places his own helmet down before walking away.
/Ikiro/
The final shot shows the three helmets in solitude, with Ichigo himself in the background before disappearing in a cloud of dust.
NEXT TIME…
"So, you are Riders as well?"
"I made a promise to your grandfather to protect you until you grew up."
"Why do you always freeze up whenever you see Ichigo, my Overlord?"
KAMEN RIDER THE FINAL: THE NEXT
"It's no use. You children aren't strong enough to stop us!"
AUTHOR'S NOTE:
What's up guys, HackerEX here with a new story... technically.
Now, I've been wanting to do a Rider Time story for quite a while now, but with my own twists in the process. Now I remember that Cody AlsuckyDick (classy name) said that this didn't really make sense since this is technically a Ghost movie I'm adapting and not something from Zi-O. Well for one, I kind of wanted to do my own take on the Ichigo movie since while I do respect what striberx did with the Ichigo movie in Ghost of Remnant, I was kind of confused as to why he just killed Ichigo. Secondly, I also wanted to bring in the reboot versions of Ichigo, Nigo and V3 since they techinically did appear in Zi-O alongside Amazon Omega and Alpha in Zi-O's final stage show. Given this movie is the 45th anniversary tribute, and right now we're in year 1 of Rider's 50th, I thought it would be appropriate to use this.
Also, if you couldn't tell given the format of this, but I am splitting the movie into three parts for this crossover special. Especially since while the Zi-O Riders are going to be there, as you could tell by the full title, this is going to be the Sora and Ichigo story. Why Sora? Well for one, year 2 of Rider's big 50th anniversary celebration is 2022, the 20th anniversary of the Kingdom Hearts franchise as a whole, so I wanted the Heisei Ichigo to meet with Sora as I have really underutilized the kid in this chapter, even here. Luckily, Acts 2 and 3 will flesh out Sora and Ichigo's connection a bit more while also expanding on why Ichigo saved Rex in 2009.
One more thing, since this is going to be uploaded around the same time as part 1 of the Amazons arc, obviously Kamen Rider the Final takes place before the Amazons arc, so don't expect Zi-O II to show up in this story. Regardless, next time we come back to here, we get to see how the events of the prior two movies affected reboot!Takeshi and why Mayu is suddenly exhibiting some strange levels of darkness.
Until next time, this is HackerEX logging out! See ya!
