I don't own Kamen Rider W or Symphogear G. Those belong to the creators. I'm doing this story for fun, not profit.
Case 10: Farewell N/Memory Kids
W in his Cyclone-Metal form is seen charging against the Nasca Dopant as he draws out his Metal Shaft and swings it at the Dopant, and the Nasca Dopant dodges W's attacks two times and blocks his next attack with his sword.
The Nasca Dopant then pushes W's Shaft aside and slashes the Rider on the chest two times which knocks his Metal Shaft out of his hand as it falls to the ground as W stumbles back.
The Nasca Dopant slashes at W again, and W dodges it by rolling on the ground and picks up as his Metal Shaft. As W stood up both him and the Nasca Dopant clashed their weapons two times before they brought their weapons in a lock.
"Why are we suddenly fighting?" W-Mitsuki asked the viewers as the Nasca Dopant slashes at W, and he dodges it and blocks the next attack with his Shaft once again bringing their weapons into a lock as they stood their ground against each other. "Let's take the story back about 30 minutes. It was truly a trick of fate."
(30 Minutes Ago)
After Hibiki had woken up, Genjuro, Kanade, Chris, and Tsubasa were with her as Genjuro explains to Hibiki about the status of her body. As they were looking at the screen where they showed Hibiki's x-ray.
"This is a scan of Hibiki-kun's body. The Gungnir in her body has worked its way deeper, and has multiplied to the point that it's created a new organ. This is the source of her vast power, and the thing eats away at her life." Genjuro told them, and Chris grits her teeth in frustration and Kanade does the same as she clenches her hand.
Hibiki nervously chuckles, which got her friends' attention as they turned to her.
"In other words, each time I activate the Gungnir in my chest, it fuses with me. So you want me to use it as little as possible." Hibiki said as she chuckled before Tsubasa tightly grabbed hold of her hand as she stopped chuckling and turned to her.
"Enough!" Tsubasa shouted. "'As little as possible'? Don't be stupid! We're telling you that you're forbidden from ever fighting again!"
"Tsubasa-san…" Hibiki mutters as tears begin to form on Tsubasa's eyes.
"You're going to die, Tachibana!" Tsubasa told her before Kanade grabbed hold of her shoulders and pulled her away from Hibiki.
"Tsubasa, that's enough! You've made your point. And yelling at her won't change things." Kanade told her.
"That's right." Chris said. "This dummy knows what she's doing."
Tsubasa didn't say anything else as she left the room, which left the others a little worried.
"Don't worry, I'll check on her. Tsubasa, wait up!" Kanade calls out as she follows her.
Hibiki looks around and notices that two friends of hers are missing.
"By the way, where are Mitsuki and Philip-kun?" Hibiki asked, and the others flinched when they said that and Genjuro soon answered.
"They're...busy with an important case, so they couldn't be here. But Mitsuki-kun did tell me that he wishes for you to get well and to take things a little easier after what happened."
"I see." Hibiki said.
"Anyway, our medical teams aren't completely useless. They're using the data Ryouko-kun left, to search for a solution." Genjuro told her as he placed his hand on her head.
"Shisho…" Hibiki mutters as she looks up at him.
"We'll find a cure soon." Genjuro assures her. "Until that happens, there's nothing wrong with a short vacation."
"I understand…" Hibiki mutters in some sadness.
After she left the room, Kanade had soon found Tsubasa in a hallway as she punched on the wall as the red-head walked to her.
"Tsubasa, I know you're worried about Hibiki, but feeling frustrated won't change anything." Kanade told her.
"It's not just that!" Tsubasa shouted at her before she continued. "A sword has no need for tears! So why can I stop crying? Am I longer a sword to protect my comrades?"
Kanade then grabs hold of Tsubasa and pulls her in for a hug which really surprised the blue-haired girl.
"K-Kanade…?" Tsubasa said.
"It just means you're still human like anyone else. I understand how you feel, but keeping those emotions bottled up isn't healthy for you." Kanade told her best friend.
Tsubasa grits her teeth before she finally gives in and hugs Kanade as she cries on her shoulder.
"Kanade...I just don't know what to do…" Tsubasa mutters as Kanade pets her on the head.
"It's alright, you're not the only one who feels that way. Mitsuki's having a hard time on what to do as well." Kanade said as she wondered how Mitsuki was.
(Meanwhile, with Mitsuki)
Wanting to help ease his worry about Hibiki's current status, Mitsuki decided to go to his favorite barber shop, Barber Kaze, to get his usual haircut.
"Long time no see, Mitsu-chan." The barber and owner said as Mitsuki was seated on a chair with another man seated beside him as he had a towel on his face.
The barber put a cape around his neck, and the barber was preparing a towel for him.
"When I have days where a bad wind is howling, coming here refreshes me. I just came here without thinking." Mitsuki said as the chair leaned back and the barber placed the towel over his face. "Thank you."
"By the way, Mitsu-chan, I need help…" The barber said as he walked to the sink.
"The same for me." The man beside Mitsuki had said, which stopped the barber. "When a bad wind is blowing, I always come to this shop. Right, Master?"
"Yes. That's right." The barber said as he readied his razor.
"To be a fan of Barber Kaze, you must be quite a Fuuto connoisseur." Mitsuki told his seated neighbor.
"I'm more than a connoisseur. You know of Fuuto-kun, right?" He asked and Mitsuki laughed.
"Of course! He's this city's image character." Mitsuki answered.
"To be honest, I designed him!" He said before he sits up and the towel on his face falls off, which revealed himself as Kirihiko, otherwise known as the Nasca Dopant, but Mitsuki couldn't see his face due to his own towel blocking his view. "When I was in third grade, I won the contest!"
"For real?! That's awesome!" Mitsuki said as he sat up in shock as Kirihiko laughed as the barber's assistant brought Mitsuki back down and placed the towel back on his face. "I really admire you!"
"Isn't it great? Next time, I'll give you a special key holder as a present." Kirihiko said before he spoke some words in English. "I...love...Fuuto-kun. It was limited to 50 copies. It's super rare!" He said as the keychain was hanging on his belt.
"Please do! Please do! Also can you make it two. I want to give it to a friend of mine." Mitsuki said.
"Sure, it won't be easy, but I'll see what I can do." Kirihiko said.
"Thanks...It means a lot to hear that. Especially since what happened to her." Mitsuki said.
"Did something happen? Did you get into a fight?" Kirihiko asked.
"No, nothing like that. I can't explain in detail, but she ended up in an accident and had to go to the hospital. But don't worry, it's nothing serious." Mitsuki said.
"I see. Well if it means anything, you just made a new friend today. It's not too common to meet another Fuuto lover." Kirihiko said.
"I know right?! Fuuto sure is great!" Mitsuki said before both men laughed joyfully.
The barber's timer went off as it beeps, and his assistant removed their towels. Then both Mitsuki and Kirihiko turned at each other, and they immediately recognized each other as they sat up in shock.
"You cur!" Kirihiko said.
"You!" Mitsuki said as he remembers seeing him in a few of his past cases.
"Out front!" Kirihiko told him.
Seeing this left the barber a little confused, as he wonders if there was something between his two favorite customers.
Kirihiko had brought Mitsuki to a nearby shrine as there were no people around, as he wanted to keep this private between them.
"I can't believe it." Kirihiko said as he walked forward as Mitsuki watched him. "I can't believe we'd meet here...Kamen Rider-kun."
Mitsuki was stunned to hear that.
"You...Just who are you?" Mitsuki asked and Kirihiko turned to him as he answered.
"Sonozaki Kirihiko. Oh...You might be more used to me like this." Kirihiko grins as he brings out his Gaia Driver and puts it on, and Mitsuki is once again surprised to hear that as Kirihiko brings out his Nasca Memory.
[NASCA]
Kirihiko soon inserted his Gaia Memory into his Driver to transform into the Nasca Dopant.
"So that's it." Mitsuki said.
"Gaia Memories, which makes humans evolve into superior beings." Nasca said as he placed a hand on his Driver. "It brings me joy that my career is to distribute them."
"That's bullshit!" Mitsuki said. "What you're spreading around are the tools of evil that make this city cry!"
Mitsuki soon brings out and puts on his Double Driver and soon brings out his Joker Memory.
[JOKER]
"If you're going to transform, I'd like you to use FangJoker." The Nasca Dopant requested.
"Sorry, but we don't have the acquire conditions to use that form. You'll have to make do with this. You ready, Philip?" Mitsuki calls out.
Philip closes his book as he brings out his Cyclone Memory.
[CYCLONE]
"How disappointing. And after I just found something to research." Philip mutters as both him and Mitsuki assume their poses.
"Henshin!" Mitsuki and Philip said at the same time.
The Nasca Dopant hummed as Mitsuki transformed into W.
"Your usual style, eh? Then...you two have already lost." The Nasca Dopant stated as he brought out his sword.
"Heh! Oh really?" W-Mitsuki said.
The Nasca Dopant attacks first as he swings his sword at W, and W dodges it and the Nasca Dopant slashes at W several more times as W dodges his attacks, before he finally lands two hits on W which sends him flying and flew over a fence, and the Nasca Dopant gave chase as he jumps over it.
W rolls on the ground before he stands back up, and the Nasca Dopant lands a slash on his chest which sends W rolling on the ground as he stops on one knee and foot.
W soon removes his Cyclone Memory.
"You've done it now!" W-Mitsuki said as he brought out his Metal Memory.
[METAL]
W charges at the Dopant as he inserts his Metal Memory into his Driver.
[CYCLONE-METAL]
As W changes into his Cyclone-Metal Form, he soon draws out his Metal Shaft and attacks the Nasca Dopant with it, which brought them to their present fight.
"A trick of fate...this chance meeting was the start of an unforgettable parting."

(Instrumental)
(Mitsuki and Philip are seen walking together, Mitsuki putting on his hat and Philip closing his book, and they point at the screen before the title appears in front of them.)
(Shijima no soko kara…)
(Mitsuki is in his office going through his case files, before Kanade handed him a cup of coffee that he happily accepted.)
(Mezameru sono hashiratachi toki wo koe…)
(Philip was having his usual interesting research moment as he was writing on his whiteboards, before he accidentally wrote on Chris's face as she was walking towards him, Philip flinched before Chris slaps on his face. Then images of their friends and allies appeared one at a time.)
(Shinku no chishio ga…)
(Ryu is seen looking at his Accel Memory before he walks forward.)
(Tachiagaru yuuki wo hikiawaseru!)
(W, Accel, Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris are seen surrounded by Noise before they turn to each other and nodded before they charge at the Noise battling against them.)
(Uketsugu ai wo sadame to yobu nara!)
(The mysterious Shroud is seen walking in a dark alley before she turns to the screen showing her white bandage covered face with black sunglasses.)
(Hohoemu me de tsugi no te wo…)
(The Nephilim is in its cage with Ver looking at it with an evil grin before the Nephilim roars. Then images of the Kamen Riders and Symphogear users' enemies appear one at a time, before finally showing Ryubee looking above the Gaia Well.)
(Yami wo azamuite setsuna wo kawashite! Yaiba surinuke yatusra no suki wo tsuke!)
(Shirabe wearing her black Symphogear armor fires from her head compartments, then to Kirika swinging her scythe around and finally to Maria wielding her lance as she uses her HORIZON†SPEAR attack.)
(Tsuranuita omoi ga mirai wo hiraku!)
(The three black Symphogear users are standing atop a stone pillar looking down upon W, Accel, Hibiki, Tsubasa, and Chris as they get ready for battle. Then an image of a younger Maria reaching out to her sister Serena appears, and then shows the present day Maria looking at Airgetlám in sadness before a teardrop falls from her eye and onto the pendent.)
(Like a Bloody Storm atsuku Like a Bloody Stone! Ketsumyaku ni kizamareta innen ni…)
(W in his Cyclone-Joker Form is seen doing some kicks and punches as he was spinning around, and changes into his Heat-Metal swinging his Metal Shaft around, and soon changes to his Luna-Trigger firing with his Trigger Magnum, and changes to his Fang-Joker attacking with his Arm Saber, and the final spin shows W in a new and unknown form.)
(Ukiagaru kienai hokori no kizuna nigirishimete!)
(Now both Kamen Riders and Symphogear users alike are seen standing side by side as the Nephilim in its final form looking down at them, as the floating city the Frontier raises to the moon.)
As W once again swings his Shaft at the Nasca Dopant, he parries it with his sword and pushed W aside as he stumbles forward before he stops and turns back to the Museum Commander.
"Mitsuki. Be careful, don't forget about his speed." W-Phillip told his partner.
"I know." W-Mitsuki as he parries a slash from the Nasca Dopant but he was able land two slashes on the Rider's chest before W blocks his next attack with his Shaft as they brought their weapons in a lock.
"I'm a bit disappointed you guys aren't in your most powerful form." The Nasca Dopant said as he pushed W's Shaft away and slashes on his chest forcing the dual-theme Rider to stumble back. "But either way, I will defeat you!"
"We'll see about that!" W-Mitsuki said as he brought out the Heat Memory.
[HEAT]
W charged at the Nasca Dopant as he replaced the Cyclone Memory with his Heat Memory.
[HEAT-METAL]
W changes to his Heat-Metal form, and soon swings his Metal Shaft at the Nasca Dopant as he dodges his attacks.
"I'm not losing to a creep like you who makes this city cry!" W-Mitsuki swore as he continued to attack the Nasca Dopant as he easily dodged his attacks.
The Nasca Dopant parries W's next attack as he steps away from him and W assumes his stance as he was on guard against the Dopant's next move. The Nasca Dopant huffed as he brought his hands behind his back.
"What slander!" The Nasca Dopant said.
W soon channels flames around his Metal Shaft as he swings it at the Nasca Dopant, but…
"Super speed!" The Nasca Dopant declares as he easily dodges W's attack by moving in lightning fast speed, and dodges W's next attack as he moves behind the Rider and grabs onto the other end of his Shaft and pulls W in front of him.
"Not this again..." W-Mitsuki mutters as he glares at the Nasca Dopant.
"Sorry, but I love this city! From the bottom of my heart!" The Nasca Dopant told W as he swung his sword at him…
"Hey! Mitsu-chan!" A familiar voice calls out, and Nasca stops his attack as both him and W recognize that voice.
Both enemies turned and saw it was the barber and owner of Barber Kaze as he soon arrived and was looking for Mitsuki.
"Mitsu-chan! Mitsu-chan!" He calls out once again.
The Nasca Dopant soon let's go of W's Shaft and turns away from the dual-theme Rider.
"Looks like you've escaped death." The Dopant said as the barber continued to call out Mitsuki's name.
"Mitsu-chan!"
"So you don't want to let Master get caught in the battle?" W-Mitsuki said as the Nasca Dopant took his leave.
W then walks to the barber as he changes back into Mitsuki.
"Mitsu-chan!" The barber calls out once again.
"Master!" Mitsuki calls out and the barber turns to the young detective as he walks to him.
The barber sighs in relief as he finally found him.
"Mitsu-chan! I was looking for you." The barber said as he walked to Mitsuki as they both stopped.
"What is it?" Mitsuki asked
"Actually, I need to hire you to do some detective work." He requested.
"Eh?" Mitsuki said.
"Can you find my daughter?" The barber requested and Mitsuki was a little surprised to hear that as he remembered his daughter.
(Flashback)
Mitsuki visited Barber Kaze for his usual haircut, before that he heard the door opening as the owner greeted the person who walked inside.
"Oh, welcome back!" The owner said.
It was his daughter, a teenage girl with long black hair and eyes and was wearing her school uniform and was carrying her bag on her shoulder.
"Oh, Akane-chan. You've really grown." Mitsuki greeted the owner's daughter.
"Mitsuki-oniichan, welcome!" Akane greeted the detective.
(End of flashback)
"She went out the day before yesterday and hasn't returned." The barber said as he sat down on a nearby bench.
"How old is Akane-chan again?" Mitsuki asked.
"15 years old, third year in middle school." He answered.
"Man. Don't worry. She should return in time." Mitsuki said as he scratched his finger behind his ear and took a few steps forward before he turned back to the barber. "At that age, kids run away from home for short periods."
The barber stood up in front of Mitsuki.
"Akane-chan isn't that kind of kid. Mitsu-chan, you should know that." The barber told him.
Unknown to them, Kirihiko was spying on them from a distance as he overheard their conversation.
"That's true...Okay, I accept this request." Mitsuki told the barber.
(Meanwhile)
In the Sonozaki family mansion, Ryubee is seen having a meal with his daughters Saeko and Wakana. Wakana was the first to finish her meal.
"Thank you for the meal." Wakana said as she put her fork down and stood up. "So, Otou-sama, I'm going to work."
Wakana soon takes her leave but Ryubee calls out to her.
"Wakana." Wakana stops before her father asks her this question. "You seem to be a bit cheerful lately. Did something happen?"
"No...Well, maybe...I just made a friend." Wakana said.
"Oh? A boyfriend perhaps?" Ryubee asked as he raised an eyebrow and Wakana blushed to hear that.
"No, of course not! He's just a friend! Anyway, I'm leaving! Good day!" Wakana said as she leaves and Ryubee chuckles in amusement.
"She's so fun to tease." Ryubee said.
"But, Otou-sama, she…" Saeko said before Ryubee stops her as he turns to his eldest daughter.
"By the way, Saeko, how is the work in increasing the Memories?" Ryubee asked.
"Well...As you already know without Raito, we can't reproduce more powerful Memories."
"I see. And Raito still doesn't have any intention of returning." Ryubee said in some disappointment before he walked to the stairs.
"But Otou-sama…" Saeko said as she stood up and turned to her father. "Kirihiko-san has awakened Nasca's super speed ability."
"Yes, I'm quite aware." Ryubee said as he walked up the stairs. "But I didn't expect anything less from the man you chose, Saeko. For now."
(Back with Mitsuki)
After accepting the barber's request, Mitsuki returns to the Narumi Detective Agency as he opens the door and walks inside.
"Philip, there's something I want you to check…" Mitsuki stops as he screams as he sees that the agency was a complete mess with all the furniture lying on the ground along with junk and other items.
"Hey! What are you doing?!" Mitsuki calls out as he walks over the mess, but his foot has steps on a mouse trap as it snaps onto it. "Ow! That hurts!"
Mitsuki lifts up his foot to remove the mouse trap, and Kanade soon notices him as she turns to Mitsuki.
"Oh hey, Mitsuki." Kanade waves at him.
"Don't 'hey' me! What happened?!" Mitsuki asked as he walked to the red head and tossed the mouse trap away, but stopped as his hat got caught on a hanging sticky fly trap.
Mitsuki removes it from his hat using his hand but it is now stuck on it, as he tries to remove the fly trap he soon falls to the ground.
"Hey, don't look at me. I just got here." Kanade told him as she raised her hands as Mitsuki stood up using his hands and knees.
"So that means…" Mitsuki said as he turned to the door that leads to the hanger.
And on cue, Philip opened the door and left the hanger as he was holding a butterfly net in his hands.
"Mitsuki. You're back?" Philip said as he walked forward and was looking around, searching for something. "Join the operation to capture my mysterious beetle."
"A beetle?" Mitsuki asked.
"You won't believe it, but I saw a kabutomushi in here." Philip said as he continued to look around for it.
"What are you talking about? It's not even the right season for them." Kanade said.
"I know! Which is all the more reason I must find it, capture it, and study it." Philip said as he continued to look around for his kabutomushi.
Mitsuki sighed as he knows there's no stopping Philip once he's like this.
"So you're in no state for doing a lookup?" Mitsuki said as he removed the flytrap off his hand and stood back up.
"Oh, so you got a request for a job?" Kanade asked.
"Yeah. Got to find a person." Mitsuki said as he picked up his hat and sat down on a chair. "The request is from the barber I regularly go to."
"I see...Then we've got to go right away! Let's go!" Kanade said.
"No way!" Philip said as he turned and walked to his friends. "But what about my kabutomushi?"
"Sorry, Philip, but maybe we'll find it some other day." Kanade told him.
"But…" Philip mutters in disappointment.
Kanade hummed before she had an idea as she turned to the radio.
"Look! It's Wakana-hime's...radio time!" Kanade said as she walked to the radio and turned it on as Wakana's radio channel came on.
"You've been waiting for this! Fuuto Mystery Tour!" Wakana said in her radio station, and that really got Philip's attention as he dashed to the radio. "This one is from the radio name Michael-san. Hime, please listen to this. A friend says he's been seeing a birdman near the Kazami-cho freeway."
With Philip's attention drawn to the radio, Mitsuki and Kanade soon take this chance to sneak out of the Agency to look for Akane.
"A birdman? How very compelling." Philip said as he was curious about this birdman.
Mitsuki and Kanade's first order of business is to gather info, and so their first stop is Akane's school to gather what they can. As they were walking together, Mitsuki was telling Kanade about what had happened today.
"I see. Seems like a lot has happened while I was gone." Kanade said.
"Yeah. But still, as much as I want to investigate this Kirihiko guy, finding Akane-chan is our priority right now." Mitsuki said.
"Yeah...Also, Mitsuki, are you alright? I know you're worried about Hibiki, but…" Kanade said.
"I'll be fine, Kanade. And I've already told you, distancing myself from her is the best way to protect her." Mitsuki told her.
"Alright, if you're sure…" Kanade shrugged.
They soon arrived at the school where Akane goes to, they were in the faculty room as they were speaking with her homeroom teacher.
"Oh Egusa-san, we did hear from her father that she's been missing, and she has been absent for a while." He told the detective and Kanade.
"Is there any reason why?" Mitsuki asked.
"I'm not really sure to be honest. But I think you'll have better luck in the track team, her coach might give you some answers." He told him.
"Alright, thank you." Mitsuki said before he and Kanade had left.
Mitsuki and Kanade had found the track team's locker room as they were speaking with the coach for any info about Akane.
"Oh I see...I should've known this would happen." He said as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Do you know something sir?" Mitsuki asked.
"Yeah." He nodded. "You see, Akane isn't just a member of my team, she's actually our ace athlete. But lately, she's been pushing herself too hard."
"What do you mean?" Kanade asked and the coach sighed.
"Well, given her age there's no doubt she's feeling a lot of stress right now. She's the star of our team, and she wants to do her best in it. But I can tell the pressure is slowly starting to get to her. I felt the same when I was a star athlete." He answered.
"I see." Mitsuki said in understanding. "You wouldn't happen to know where she could be?"
"I'm afraid not. But I think she has a friend in the soccer club, her best friend in fact." He told them.
"Got it." Mitsuki said.
They soon arrived at the soccer club, where they were talking with Akane's best friend.
"Akane? Yes I do know where she is. I just saw her yesterday." Akane's friend told them.
"Good, can you tell us where?" Mitsuki asked but she was hesitant to answer. "What's wrong?"
"I'm sorry...But I'm afraid that Akane will get in trouble if I tell you. I'm worried about her, but still…" She mutters before Mitsuki places a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, it's alright. I'm a good friend of hers and her father, so you can trust me. And I promise you, nothing will happen to her." Mitsuki assured her.
"Do you promise?" She asked and Mitsuki and Kanade nodded. "Okay, I saw her by Kazami-cho's freeway. But I also saw her with Fujikawa Touma and two friends of his."
"Fujikawa?" Kanade said.
"He's in the same class as me and Akane, but he and his friends are known for being troublemakers. I'm worried if Akane is doing something dangerous with them. Please, you have to help her." She requested.
"Don't worry, I will." Mitsuki swore as he and Kanade to leave where they might find Akane.
"Sounds like this request might be a little more complicated than we thought." Kanade said.
"Yeah. But I doubt it's that serious. They're only middle school kids after all." Mitsuki said.
"I hope you're right." Kanade said.
Mitsuki and Kanade had arrived at the Kazami-cho freeway, that's where they spotted two boys riding their bikes under the bridge, and then they spotted Akane with another girl looking at stuff in their phones.
Mitsuki and Kanade walk to Akane and the girl as they are talking.
"Yeah? What about this?"
"Akane-chan." Mitsuki calls out and Akane turns to the young detective. "Yo! Long time no see."
"Mitsuki-oniichan…" Akane said, a little nervous to see him.
Mitsuki took off his hat and took a few steps forward in front of Akane as he placed his hat in front of his face.
"Daruma-san falls down!" Mitsuki declared as he removed his hat from his face and showed a silly and grumpy face, and seeing that face caused Kanade to laugh as she moved in front of him.
"What's with that?" Kanade said as she chuckled.
Mitsuki turns away from her and Akane as he hides his face with his hat again.
"No one's here...Vasco da Gama!" Mitsuki said as he removed his hat to reveal a more silly and happy face which caused Kanade to laugh once again as Mitsuki shook his shoulders and moved his neck.
"What are you saying?! Mamiya Rinzou!" Kanade said as she played along with Mitsuki's act as she made a silly face as well, and both him and Kanade laughed at each other.
"Are you guys retarded?" Akane's friend, Kubota Yayoi, asks as both Mitsuki and Kanade stop laughing as they turn to the middle school girls as Mitsuki dropped his hat.
Mitsuki coughs as he picks up his hat and Kanade's cheeks turn red in embarrassment as she turns away from them.
"What's this? You laughed at it last time." Mitsuki said.
"I'm no longer a child." Akane told him as she took a few steps forward, Mitsuki coughed and put on his hat and walked to Akane's side.
"Your father is worried. You need to go back home." Mitsuki told her.
"I can't go home! Leave me alone!" Akane demanded as she ran away.
"Hey, Akane-chan!" Mitsuki calls out as he chases after her and Kanade follows him.
"Touma! Yuichi!" Yayoi calls out to the boys riding their bikes as she follows them.
"Wait!" Mitsuki calls out as the boy, Touma gets in his way as he stops in front of Mitsuki as Akane stops running.
The other boy, Yuichi, stops behind both Mitsuki and Kanade along with Yayoi. Both Mitsuki and Kanade now saw that they were now surrounded by the group of middle school kids.
"What do you want from Akane? Or rather...who are you, Obasan-tachi?" Touma asked.
"What was that you punk?!" Kanade said as she was about to move to the boy to give him a piece of her mind, but Mitsuki stopped her as he held her back.
"Kanade, calm down! I don't need you acting like Chris now." Mitsuki told her, and Kanade clicked her tongue as she turned away from Touma as she folded her arms. Mitsuki then turns to the middle school boy. "We're detectives."
"Detectives? What a pain." Touma said in annoyance as he brought out a Gaia Memory.
It was colored red with the letter 'B' along with the word 'Bird'.
"A Gaia Memory?!" Kanade said in shock that this boy has one in his possession, and Mitsuki was stunned to see it as well.
"Do you know what that is?" Mitsuki asked in worry.
"Not really. We just know it's fun." Touma answered as he threw the Gaia Memory up and down a few times in his hand.
"That's bullshit! Hand it over!" Mitsuki demanded as he was about to take the Gaia Memory out of his hand.
"Yuichi!" Touma calls out as he throws the Memory to the other boy wearing glasses.
"Got it!" Yuichi said as he caught the Gaia Memory and rolled up his sleeve to show his Connector. "Shall we show you?"
[BIRD]
Yuichi then inserted the Bird Memory into his Connector and transformed into a Dopant.
The Dopant form was based out of a humanoid-bird, with green feathers with a pair of wings on its back with a long neck that has an extra beak in front of it and under its head.
This is the Bird Dopant.
"Yay!" The now transformed Bird Dopant said as both Mitsuki and Kanade were further shocked by this.
"Damn, and here I thought he was the user." Kanade said.
"Get them!" Touma orders the Bird Dopant as he, Yayoi, and Akane step away from the detectives and the Dopant.
The Bird Dopant nodded and soon charges at Kanade and Mitsuki and attacks them. Mitsuki pushes Kanade out of the way as he dodges the Dopant's attacks before he steps away from him.
"Looks like you need a spanking." Mitsuki said as he brought out his Double Driver and put it on.
"Mitsuki…" Philip said as the Double Driver appeared on his waist as he was looking at something. "I finally caught my kabutomushi."
Philip was looking at his mysterious kabutomushi that was trapped in a cage he set up, which was a small robot colored blue with yellow eyes.
Mitsuki once again sighed to hear that.
"You're still going on about that?" Mitsuki said before he dodged an attack from the Bird Dopant as he rolled on the ground, but then the Dopant used that chance to grab onto Mitsuki's leg.
Kanade then saw that the Bird Dopant was flying up in the air as he was carrying Mitsuki by the leg.
"Mitsuki!" Kanade said in worry.
"Let go!" Mitsuki told the Bird Dopant before he looked down and saw how high up they were. "No, don't let go!"
"Hey, Yuichi!" Touma signals his transformed friend with a thumbs down telling him to drop the detective.
"Not him!" Akane pleaded to Touma but was left ignored.
"Okay! Bye bye!" The Bird Dopant said as he let go of Mitsuki as he fell to the ground.
"Mitsuki!" Kanade said in worry, and just in time the Cyclone Memory appeared in his Driver.
"Henshin!" Mitsuki shouted as he inserted the Joker Memory into his Driver, and pushed both sides.
[CYCLONE-JOKER]
Mitsuki transforms into W just in time to land safely on his hand, knee, and foot as he looks up at the Bird Dopant. The middle school kids were surprised by Mitsuki's transformation as Fuuto's renowned Kamen Rider.
"Kamen Rider?!" Akane said in shock.
(Meanwhile)
As Philip's mind leaves his body it soon falls to the ground, and the cage that has entrapped the robotic kabutomushi breaks apart as it falls out of his hands.
The kabutomushi soon notices the door opening and it soon hides behind something.
The person opening the door was Chris as she walked inside and was surprised to see the mess as she had a pretty good idea who was responsible.
"God damn it...I swear, Philip, I was gone for like an hour and you've already made a mess in here." Chris grumbles as she walks over the mess to search for Philip but she accidentally trips on something and falls to the floor and one of her hands landed on a mouse trap as it snaps on it and she groans as she raises her hand and looks at the trap that was on it. "Dang it...Once I get my hands on him…"
As Chris removed the mouse trap and stood back up, she saw Philip was unconscious and lying on the ground as he was wearing his Double Driver.
"And of course, you have to be in the middle of something right now." Chris said as she picked up Philip's mindless body and dragged it to the bed to place the body on it.
Chris was unaware that the now free mechanical kabutomushi was crawling up to the opened window and flies through it to escape the agency.
W stood back up as he changed to his Luna Memory.
"Payback time." W-Mitsuki said as he pushed the Driver's slots.
[LUNA-JOKER]
W's Cyclone Half changes to Luna Half, and W stretches his arm to the Bird Dopant as it wraps around him, and W throws the Bird Dopant to the ground as it falls.
"What?!" The Bird Dopant said.
"Time for a spanking." W-Mitsuki said as he pulled out his Metal Memory.
[METAL]
W soon inserted his Metal Memory into his Driver.
[LUNA-METAL]
W's Joker Half changes to Metal Half, and W soon pulls out his Metal Shaft and attacks the Bird Dopant using it as a whip and W lands a few strong hits on the Dopant.
"Ow! No, no!" The Bird Dopant said as he tried to avoid W's attacks.
Unknown to them is that the Museum Commander, Kirihiko was observing their battle from a distance.
The Bird Dopant once again fell to the ground and soon sat up and waved his arms in defeat.
"Give up! Give up!" The Bird Dopant said as he removed his Gaia Memory to change back into his human form. "I give up!"
"Man." W-Mitsuki said as he walked to the boy. "What's a kid doing using that?" He asked as he stopped in front of him.
"Sorry!" Yuichi said.
"Now, hand it over." W-Mitsuki said as he reached out his hand and Yuichi was about to give him the Bird Memory, but…
"Yuichi, pass!" Touma calls out to his friend and Yuichi throws the Gaia Memory to him.
When Touma caught it, he soon rolled up his sleeve to reveal a Living Connector on his arm and soon inserted the Bird Memory into it.
[BIRD]
Touma transforms into the Bird Dopant.
"What?! The Memory can be used by different people?!" W-Mitsuki gasped in shock.
"Alright! Akane!" The now transformed Touma said as he turns to Akane and runs to her.
"It can't be!" Kirihiko said, as he was surprised by this as well. 'To use a Memory requires surgery to get a Connector. It shouldn't be possible for a single Memory to be used by multiple people.'
The Bird Dopant soon grabs onto Akane, and soon flies away with her.
"Stop!" W-Mitsuki calls out but is ignored as the Bird Dopant is now gone with Akane, and W-Mitsuki growls in frustration. "We've lost him!"
W soon heard Yuichi groaning in pain, and W turned to him as he was lying on the ground while holding his arm where his Living Connecter was on, as it was burning off which damages both his skin and flesh.
"Hey! Are you okay?!" W-Mitsuki asked as he knelt down to the boy as Yayoi and Kanade knelt down to him as well.
"Yuichi! Yuichi!" Yayoi said in worry.
"Hang on, I'll call 119." Kanade said as she brought out her phone to call for an ambulance.
W stood up as Philip as a theory but the Connector was burned off.
"It's probably from the multiple uses of the Gaia Memory."
Kirihiko soon leaves as he heads to the one place to report about those kids using a Gaia Memory.
"The Memory was distributed to kids only 15 years old. The Bird Memory." Kirihiko explained to his wife, Saeko, as they were in the office building she owns.
"That's not good." Saeko said as Kirihiko stood up.
"The goal of Gaia Memory sales is so humans can evolve into ideal lifeforms. I don't mind sacrificing some filthy adults...but, this case is against the rules." Kirihiko told his wife.
"I know. I'll look into it." Saeko told her husband.
"Please do." Kirihiko said and was about to leave.
"Kirihiko-san." Saeko calls out as Kirihiko stops and turns to her. Saeko stood up and walked to her husband. "By the way, how is your body?"
Kirihiko showed Saeko an assured smile.
"Of course, I'm fine." Kirihiko assured her and Saeko smiled to hear that.
"Really? I'm counting on you." Saeko said as she adjusted his suit. "Anata."
(Back with Mitsuki)
Mitsuki, Kanade, and Yayoi were able to bring Yuichi to the hospital in time. The doctors were able to treat his wound, and now he was sleeping in a room as the three of them were looking at him through a window.
A nurse who was inside and observing left Yuichi's room, and they turned to her as Yayoi walked to her.
"How's Yuichi?" Yayoi asked in worry.
"He's okay." She told her as she left.
"There's nothing to worry about now." Kanade told the middle school student as she placed her hands on her shoulders.
"Why are middle-schoolers like you kids using a Gaia Memory?" Mitsuki asked and Yayoi and Kanade turned to the detective.
Kanade turns to Yayoi as she lowered her head but answered his question.
"At first…" Yayoi said as she remembers how Touma showed them the Bird Memory.
(Flashback)
"I got something great." Touma said as he showed his friends the Bird Memory. "If we use this, we can be supermen."
"Supermen? What do you mean?" Yuichi asked.
"See for yourself. Stick your arm out." Touma said as he walked to Yayoi and she was surprised at first but complied as she rolled up her sleeve and Touma inserted the Bird Memory into her arm.
[BIRD]
Yayoi, now transformed as the Bird Dopant, was seen flying in the sky and above the city of Fuuto.
"At first it was scary, but...it was so much fun when I got used to it."
Yayoi sits down on a bench as she continues to explain.
"We took turns becoming a bird and flying." Yayoi said as Kanade sat down beside her. "But...then Touma…"
The four middle-schoolers and users of the same Gaia Memory were enjoying a snack and some drinks as they talked about the fun they have using the Bird Memory. Before Touma spoke out.
"I've got it." That got his friends' attention as they turned to him. "I think we can use Bird's power in a more useful way."
"Useful?" Yuichi repeated in confusion.
"An attack from the sky. The first target is…" Touma said, which frightened Akane to see him like this.
(End of flashback)
"Akane was against it till the very end, but...Touma attacked various places." Yayoi told them.
"He felt like he was playing, right?" Kanade asked as she turned to Mitsuki.
Mitsuki walks in front of Yayoi to ask her another question.
"Is Touma planning to attack another place?"
"Speaking of which...he said he'd attack a place tomorrow." Yayoi said as he told them what that place was.
"Hey! Did you hear? Seems an amazing new guy is joining our department." Mikio said as he and his partner Shun were having ramen at the Fuumen ramen cart.
"How is he amazing?" Shun asked.
"Yes. Seems he does super work. And is super handsome." Mikio said as he raised his eyebrows with each sentence.
"Really?!" Shun asked with food in his mouth.
"By the way, Master. Your daughter is a regular in track club, right?" Mikio asked the owner and chef of the ramen cart.
"Yes. Thanks for asking." The Master nodded.
"That's nice. She's in middle school right?" Mikio asked and the Master nodded as Mikio felt a little envious right now. "I wish I had a daughter that age. I could have her massage my shoulders for me."
That is when a girl walks in behind the police detective and grabs hold of his shoulders which felt nice to him.
"Yes, like that." Mikio said before that girl throws him to the ground and it was Akane as she moved in front of the Master of the Fuumen ramen cart
"Run from here right away!" Akane told the ramen chef.
"Oh! You're Minami's Middle School's track club…" The Master before Akane runs to him and bumps onto Shun which knocks him off his chair and falls to the ground.
"If you don't hurry, Touma will…" Akane said as she grabbed onto the chef to drag him away from here. "Hurry! Hurry!"
They soon heard roaring and saw the Touma as the Bird Dopant was flying towards them and soon fired feathers at them, and everyone quickly took cover as the Dopant flew past and above them.
"A birdman!" Mikio said.
The Bird Dopant turns to them.
"One more time!" The Bird Dopant declared.
Mikio quickly stood up and ran to his junior partner as he was lying on the ground.
"Makura! You're just lightly wounded, right? Get up! It's coming again!" Mikio said as he helped his partner stand back as Shun soon saw the Dopant and was surprised to see him.
Akane walks to the Dopant who is her friend.
"Stop it!" Akane pleaded but her pleas were ignored as the Bird Dopant flew to her to attack her along with the others.
Coming to her rescue was Mitsuki riding on his bike as he jumps and smashes the front wheel on the Dopant which sends it falling to the ground.
Mitsuki stops by Akane as she falls on her rear before she stands up and walks to him as Mitsuki takes off his helmet.
"Mitsuki-oniichan...please...Save Touma!" Akane requested the detective.
"Of course." Mitsuki said as he walked in front of Akane and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Leave it to me."
"Mitsuki!" Mikio calls out as Mitsuki turns to him as he moves to private detective. "Mikio-san! You okay?"
"Call the Kamen Rider!" Mikio requested.
"I get it! Take everyone and run!" Mitsuki told them as the Bird Dopant stood back up.
"Got it! Let's go!" Mikio says as he grabs hold of Akane as they run away with Shun and the Master.
"Hurry!" Mitsuki told them.
"You again?!" The Bird Dopant said in annoyance as he glared at Mitsuki as he turned to him.
"Now, the game's over. Hand the Memory over, Touma." Mitsuki said as he put on his hat. "That's not for a child like you to have."
"Shut up!" The Bird Dopant exclaimed as he jumped at Mitsuki to attack, and Mitsuki dodged it by falling on the ground and kicked the Dopant over him as he once again fell to the ground.
Mitsuki stood back up as he turned at the Bird Dopant.
"Seems talking is no use." Mitsuki said.
The Bird Dopant was about to charge at Mitsuki to attack him again, but was stopped as the Fang Memory had appeared and attacked him.
"Fang?" Mitsuki said.
Fang then jumps away and past Mitsuki as it watches him and sees that Philip had arrived along with Chris as the RevolGarry was beside them, and the Fang Memory landed on his master's hand.
"Philip?" Mitsuki said.
"Hey Mitsuki, since we're dealing with a different type of Dopant, I figured we may need to step things up." Philip said as he walked beside Mitsuki as they faced the Bird Memory together.
"Have it your way then." Mitsuki said as he brought out and put on his Driver, and Philip's Driver appeared on his waist.
"Who are you?!" The Bird Dopant shouted.
"I'm just one half of a Kamen Rider. So, Mitsuki. Let's quickly finish this." Philip told his partner.
"Yeah." Mitsuki said as he brought out his Joker Memory.
[JOKER]
Philip then changes to Fang's Memory Mode.
[FANG]
Then both partners assume their poses.
"Henshin!" They said at the same time.
"At least wait for me next time!" Chris said as she ran to the two detectives.
Mitsuki inserted his Joker Memory into his Driver and it soon transferred to Philip's Driver as he pushed it down and inserted his Fang Memory alongside the Joker Memory and soon pushed the slots.
[FANG-JOKER]
Chris walks behind Philip to catch him, but Philip transforms into W in Fang-Joker form as Mitsuki's mindless body falls to the ground as a result of that.
"Oh...I forgot about that." Chris said as she looked down at Mitsuki's body.
"Chris!" W-Mitsuki shouted as he raised his hand, and W-Philip pushed it down and soon said this together.
"Saa, omae no tsumi o kazoero!" W pointed his finger at the Bird Dopant before he pounced at him.
The Bird Dopant charges at W and the dual-theme Rider lands the first hit on the Dopant's head as he rolls on the ground and turns at the Bird Dopant.
"He's dangerous!" The Bird Dopant said.
Not liking his chances against W's Fang-Joker form, the Bird Dopant flies into the air in the attempt to retreat, but W wasn't going to let him get away as he jumps and chases after the Dopant.
They soon arrive at the sports stadium as W jumps over the metal gate and grabs onto the Bird Dopant as they land on the ground together as the Dopant falls on his chest and W rolls and stops on all fours.
Both Rider and Dopant stood back up as W pressed on the Fang Memory's horn twice.
[SHOULDER FANG]
W's Shoulder Saber appeared and he soon pulled it off.
"Damn it!" The Bird Dopant shouted as he charged at W to attack him.
W dodges it by rolling on the ground and as he stands up he slashes at the Bird Dopant using his Saber, followed with a few kicks and more slashes.
The Bird Dopant attacks W once again but W blocks it and keeps on attacking the Bird Dopant.
Chris soon arrived as she carried the mindless body of Mitsuki on her back as she walked up, and soon as she arrived she placed Mitsuki's body to the ground as she sat down beside it, taking a moment to rest.
"Damn...And I thought Philip was heavy." Chris mutters as she pants.
Akane soon arrives as well as she watches W's battle against the Bird Dopant in the distance. She then begins to pray.
"Touma…" Akane said in worry for her friend.
"Philip! Memory Break!" W-Mitsuki said as he charged at the Bird Dopant.
"Got it!" W-Philip said as he landed two slashes on the Dopant.
The Bird Dopant was about to attack W and W stops him by kicking him on the chest as the Dopant stumbles back, and W uses that chance to press on the Fang Memory's horn.
The Bird Dopant charges at W to attack him again, and W stops him by kicking him on the side and slashes on him forcing the Bird Dopant to stumble back.
W pressed on Fang's horn again and landed another slash on the Bird Dopant, and W soon pressed on Fang's horn for the third and final time.
[FANG: MAXIMUM DRIVE]
W's Maximum Saber appeared on his ankle and W jumped into the air and swung his Saber at the Bird Dopant.
"Fang Strizer!" W shouted as he slashed on the Bird Dopant, and he screamed in pain as he stumbled back and soon exploded as W landed on the ground.
W turns back the Bird Dopant as he reverts back into Touma as he falls to the ground and falling beside him was the Bird Memory but it was still intact.
"About time." Chris said with a smile on her face.
Akane runs to her defeated friend to check on him.
"Touma!" Akane said as he knelt down and picked him up with her arm on his back.
Touma slowly begins to open his eyes and sees Akane.
"Akane…" Touma said and Akane was relieved.
"Thank goodness!" Akane said.
"Well, it worked out somehow." W-Mitsuki said.
"No. Something's wrong." W-Philip said as he walked to the still intact Bird Memory. "We did a Memory Break, but the hardware Memory isn't broken."
W was about to pick up the Bird Memory but stops as he hears and sees Touma groaning.
"Touma!" Akane said in worry.
"What's wrong?" Chris asked as she moved beside Akane.
"It can't be...Chris-chan! Check his arm!" W-Philip calls out.
Chris nodded as she rolled up Touma's arm and they all saw the spot of Touma's Connector was burning off from his skin and flesh, just like what happened with Yuichi.
"Hey! Just what is going on?!" W-Mitsuki said as he walked to the defeated Touma.
That is when Kirihiko took this moment to talk to the Bird Memory and picked it up.
"It's from multiple people using the same Memory. Normally that's not possible." Kirihiko told him as W turned to him.
"Don't talk like this is someone else's problem!" W-Mitsuki said as he walked to Kirihiko.
"You sold it to these kids!" He said as he grabbed onto Kirihiko's shirt.
Kirihiko removed his hand and told W this.
"We have no record of selling to anyone underage!" Kirihiko turns his back against W.
"If that's true, then why did this happen?!" W-Mitsuki asked as he pointed at the now injured Touma.
"I'm checking it now. More importantly…" Kirihiko said as he turned to W with an excited smile on his face. He soon brings out his Nasca Memory.
[NASCA]
Kirihiko inserted the Nasca Memory into his Gaia Driver and transformed into the Nasca Dopant.
"Fang-Joker...I will settle things with you first." Nasca said as he wiped his hand on his sword and charged at W.
W charged at the Nasca Dopant as well as he pressed on Fang's horn.
[ARM FANG]
W's Arm Saber appeared and soon both enemies clashed their weapons.
The Nasca Dopant swings his sword at W a few times and W dodges his attacks and slashes at the Dopant, Nasca dodges it and slashes at W again, and the dual-theme Rider dodges it as he moves at the Dopant's back and as Nasca turns around they both clashed their blades in a lock as they stood their ground against each other.
To Be Continued…Farewell N/The Friend with the Wind
And there you have it, I hope you like it. Review to tell me what you think of the story.
