Hey guys, it's been a while. Sorry, but school had me busy for a while, and also work as well. So, here's the next arc, with OOO. Let's go, OOO.
I don't own these two properties. Just the OCs and this story.
Kamen Rider Zi-O: Friendship Time
Chapter 11: Watches, Medals, and Greeed
*days later*
It was three days after the Another Wizard/Wiseman attacks, and everything seemed to calm down, for the most part.
Rarity went to school Monday, and surprised everyone with a new jacket she made. It was a black faux leather jacket that had red inlay, similar to Haruto's jacket he wore.
The group began to walk toward the bakery, due to a surprise that the Cakes had.
"Wonder what the big surprise is." Rainbow asked.
"Maybe they have a new recipe they want us to try." Pinkie said, giddy about trying a new recipe.
"Well, we're here, so let's check." Sougo said.
He walked in saw, to his surprise, his uncle was there.
"Ojisan?"
"Oh, Sougo. Surprise to see you here." Junichiro said.
"What are you doing here?" Sougo asked.
"Well, the Cakes asked me to look over their cash register." Junichiro said.
The group paused at that, knowing that he was a clock repairman.
"Why?" Twilight asked.
"I actually am returning the favor, because I fixed their clocks some time ago." He said.
"Oh, don't say that, Junichiro. You're a good friend, so don't think of that." said.
"Oh, Chiffon-san, good to see you." Sougo said, waving at her.
"Oh, Sougo. You're just in time. There's someone we want you all to meet." said.
"Oh? Who?" Disney asked.
Just then, the kitchen door went open as came out, carrying a cake. Then, another person came.
"Honey, we got cakes." said.
"Oh, that's great." She then turned to the other person. "Kousei, that looks divine."
"Of course, cakes are my speciality, my dear." The person said.
"Oh, everyone, this is who I wanted you to meet." turned to the group, who saw the person.
It was an older man, around his late 50s, wearing a white button-up shirt under an apron. He had black hair that was graying on the sides, and a comforting smile.
Sougo and Junichiro knew who the person was the second he turned to the group.
"Hello, everyone." The man said.
"Hi!" Pinkie said. "It's nice to meet you….what's your name?"
"How rude of me. I am-"
"Kousei Kougami?!" The uncle and nephew duo said in shock.
"Wait, you guys know who he is?" Applejack asked.
"He's the founder of the Kougami Foundation, one of, if not, the richest companies in Japan!" Sougo said.
The girls were shocked by this, that the man standing before them was a billionaire.
"…So he's a billionaire?" Rainbow asked.
"Yeah, he's crazy rich." Sougo said.
Kousei gave a hearty laugh at that. "I wouldn't say crazy rich, more like eccentrically wealthy."
"Carrot-san, Chiffon-san, how do you know Kousei Kougami?" Junichiro asked.
"I am a friend of Chiffon-chan's family. I met her parents when they came over to Japan around 30 years ago." Kousei said.
"What?"
"Yup, I used to call him Uncle Kou when I was younger." Mrs. Cake said.
"Mmhmm, I am actually Chiffon's godfather, so I come every once in a while to visit my great godchildren. Speaking of which…"
He went back and got the two Cake siblings. They Had turned one some while back, so they grew a little. Pound Cake's hair was now cut shorter, while Pumpkin Cake's hair grew past her shoulders. The two were covered in flour.
"Aww! Look at you two!" Pinkie said, walking to the two. They giggled and clapped when they saw her. "Little bakers!"
"Mr. Kougami?" Someone came in, and everyone turned to see it was a young woman in her late 20s, wearing a blue suit and skirt.
"Ah, Erika. What is happening?" Kousei asked, handing the kids to Pinkie.
"We're scheduled for the new building opening. We need to go."
"Ah, of course." Kousei said, taking the apron off. "Chiffon, it was great to see you and Carrot. Take care, kids."
They waved off at him as he grabbed his jacket.
"Carrot, Chiffon, I will see you later." He said, and walked out to a limo.
"Wow. I wonder where he's going." Sougo said.
"He's opening up a new building here." Chiffon said, taking her little kids. "It's for a charity he supports."
"What charity?" Rarity asked.
"It's for people who are war survivors. There's been a rumor that he's been helping people come over from Africa." said.
"Ah. Well, while we're here, let's get some sweets." Twilight said.
Junichiro was smiling at the fact that his nephew has made so many friends since his stay. He goes back to working on the register.
"Junichiro, how about you take a break and get some cake?" said.
"Oh, I'd be delighted." He said.
*2010*
In the Kougami Foundation laboratory, a man was seen being wascorter out. The guards opened the doors and threw the man out.
"Why am I fired?!" The man asked.
"You were trying to steal the designs of the Kougami Foundation trademark." The lead scientist said.
"I just wanted to give it a fresh design!" The man said.
"No. You were going to steal the designs and sell them on the black market. You violated the contract with Kougami, and in doing so, any and all designs you have now belong to Kougami."
"No! That's my life's work! You can't do this!" The man said.
"Sorry, Atsio. You should have thought of that before."
With that, the doors shut on him. The man, Atsio, cried as he hit the concrete.
"This can't be happening! This place was my dream! My desire to have what Kousei Kougami has! WHY CAN'T I HAVE MY DREAMS COME TRUE?!"
Time stopped as he looked around. From his right, Aura appeared, holding a watch in her hand.
"So, you desire to have the same wealth as Kougami?" She asked.
"What? Who are you?" He asked.
"Someone who wants to make your dreams come true." Aura said.
"I'll do it. Give me the edge to have his dream." Atsio pointed to the building.
"Good answer." She said, as the watch turned into an Another Rider watch as she activated it and pushed it into him.
[Õ̵̩̊̅Ǫ̵͌̌̄̀̾ͅO̴̳̤̜̜̭͋͑!]
He cried in pain as the purple lines encircled him, transforming him as a bright light erupted from his body.
Standing where Atsio was before was a new monster. The monster looked like a chimera of sorts, with the head looking like some kid of bird with a jaw and green eyes, and a wing scarf from the head, the upper body had three colors on it, the shoulders having metal studs, the lower arms having fur and yellow tiger claws, the lower body and legs were green and looked like an insect. The chest had armor that had a red bird, a yellow tiger, and a green grasshopper, with the name 'OOO' on the front, and the year '2010' on the back.
"From now on, you are Kamen Rider OOO." Aura said evilly.
The new Another Rider roared as it walked toward the steps of the lab.
*2018*
Sougo went to school the next day, using his Ride Striker to get to the corner, and turned it back to its watch mode.
"Man, I love getting here early." He said as he pocketed the watch.
He grabbed his backpack, and walked to the school, going to the Kamen Rider Club room.
He got there, and saw that the girls and Mr. Kisaragi was watching the screens.
"Hey, everyone. What's going on?" He asked.
"Sougo, I think there's an anomaly going on." Twilight said.
"What?" He walked to the screens, and saw it was the news.
"In other news, Kamagawa Industries has just signed a contract with the United States Military." The news reporter said.
"Who?" Everyone asked.
"Atsio Kamagawa, the founder of Kamagawa Industries, has signed a contract to install news systems to the military computer systems, which means bad business for the Kougami Foundation."
"Wait, what?" Sougo was shocked by this.
"Who is this guy?" Sunset asked.
"A man who is despicable for what he's doing." A voice said, causing the group to turn and see it was Kousei.
"Mr. Kougami? What are you doing here?" Twilight asked.
"I need your help with an urgent matter." Kousei said.
"What is it?" Fluttershy asked.
"This man used to work for me, but somehow became OOO and stole all my trademark designs." Kousei explained.
"OOO?" Everyone asked.
"Wait. It became OOO? What happened to Eiji?" Gentaro asked.
"I'm surprised you remember him, Fourze." Kousei said. "Because it seems he lost his memories of him being Kamen Rider OOO."
"I got my memories back. Where is he?" Gentaro asked.
"That's the problem: we lost track of him." Kousei said.
"Um, excuse me, Mr. Kougami, but who or what is this OOO?" Rainbow asked.
Kousei looked at them, and took out a painting. It showed a king of shorts, holding what appeared to be a coin.
"OOO. The king of Desire. 800 years ago, there was once a king who wanted to gain the most power anyone could ask for. So, he sent for four alchemists to create life, resulting in the Core Medals and the Greeed. Through the medals, he became OOO." Kousei explained.
"So, OOO is a rider?" Sougo asked.
"OOO was the power that became the rider, but before, it was armor that was used to conquer the many lands of Europe. The Greeed, knowing of this, banded together and tried to stop him, but their medals were taken, and doing so, the king tried to use all their powers, but it resulted in his body being destroyed, and the powers were lost." Kousei finished
"How do you know all of this?" Fluttershy asked.
"Because that king….was my ancestor. I am a descendant of the First OOO."
"Whoa. So you're the descendant of a crazy emperor?" Sougo asked.
"Yes. And now, Atsio Kamagawa is becoming like him as well, even going forward to build a castle for himself, up on that hill." Kousei pointed to the hills outside Ponyville.
The group saw the castle, something which shocked them.
"How in the heck did we not see that?"
"It is shocking, but that's why I need your help. He stole some of my designs, and I need you to destroy them." Kousei said.
"Ok, but how are we gonna get there?" Rarity asked.
"Maybe Woz has a way?" Sougo asked.
"A way for what, My Overlord?"
Everyone jumped as Woz appeared.
"Ok, all in favor of putting a bell on him?" Rainbow raised her hand.
"Woz. We need to get to that castle on the hill." Sougo said, pointing to said building.
"I do not think I can get us all there, but maybe Miss Rarity can. She does have magic."
"Oh, yes, of course. I forgot about that." Rarity said.
"Ok, let's go." Sougo said as Rarity took the Teleport ring and scanned it.
[Teleport! Please!]
As the ring made a magic circle under the group it moved up as it transported them to their destination.
"Woz, you sure they can stop this guy?" Gentaro asked.
"Of course, but I believe they will have a plan to also find the true OOO himself." Woz then disappeared.
*meanwhile*
Geiz and Tsukuyomi were at the clock shop, looking over the news.
"This guy is really acting like he owns the world." Geiz said.
"We'll, until we get more information, we need to investigate."
Tsukuyomi then got a call from her phone, and answered it.
"Hello?"
"Tsukuyomi, it's Twilight. We're at the castle on the hill."
"What?"
"Listen, we think this guy has the power of Kamen Rider OOO. Meet us at the hill."
Twilight hung up as Tsukuyomi looked toward the window.
"Geiz?"
"Yeah?"
"There's a castle on the hill. Right there." She pointed. "Twilight thinks the person is Another OOO."
"Ok, let's go."
*with the group*
The club members made it to the outside, where a group of reporters were standing. They looked up and saw the guy, Atsio, standing there, wearing what he thought was royalty garbs: a golden robe, a stylish black hat, and a necklace that had the symbol of Oda Nobunaga, a flower.
"Me. Kamagawa, why did you build a castle here?" One reporter asked.
"Because I wish to see my new kingdom from up high!" He replied.
"Isn't this a bit much for you?" Another reporter asked.
"No. It's only the beginning!" He then took out several silver coins that had a cross on the back. "It's time to bring out your desires!"
He then tossed them to the reporters, which then transformed them. They became mumy-like creatures, with a single black eye. They wandered as the others ran away.
"This is my proclamation! I will reform this city, like the great leaders Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu!"
He then walked away as the group followed him. Twilight and Rainbow stay to take care of the creatures.
"Go! We can handle this!" Rainbow said.
They strapped their belts on as they transformed. "Henshin!"
[RabbitTank! Yeah!]
[Complete!]
As Build and Faiz took care of the mummy creatures, they saw more creatures attacking what looked like workers for Kamagaw.
"Why are they attacking his subjects?" Sougo asked.
"Is this really the time to ask that, Sougo?" Sunset told him.
"So, it appears I have trespassers." A voice said, as they saw Atsio walking up to them. "Children shouldn't be wandering off."
"We know who you are, Atsio Kamagawa. You used to work for the Kougami Foundation." Sougo said.
"Kougami. That old fool needs to mind his business." Atsio said.
"What did you do to him?" Pinkie asked.
"It's what he did to me. Our advancements in the research of the Cell Medals could have been used for weapons. That old fool ruined me, so I took something from him."
"What did you take?" Fluttershy asked.
"Let me show you." Atsio snapped his fingers, and suddenly four people appeared.
One person was a man in his early 30s wearing a green jacket over a black shirt, wearing black pants and boots.
The second was a young man with bright silver hair in his late twenties, wearing a yellow checkered blazer over a white shirt, dark blue pants and basketball shoes. He also had a baseball cap.
The third was another man in his late 30s, wearing a black sweater over a gray shirt, beige pants and black boots.
The last person was a young woman in her early 20s, wearing a dark blue shawl over a blue dress shirt, a black skirt, a black corset, black stockings,and black heels.
"My faithful servants, attack these trespassers." Atsio told them.
"Fine." The man in green said.
"Whatever." The yellow man said.
"This be fun." The gray wearing man said.
"Let's have some." The woman said.
Suddenly, they all transformed into monster forms.
The first man became an insect monster, with green carapace armor and tiny insect legs on the chest, horns on the top of the head, and claws on the right arm.
The second man became a feline monster, his head looked like a cheetah with dreadlocks shaped like a lion's mane coming from the back, black spike armor over the shoulders, giant claws on the lower arms.
The third man turned into a monster that looked like a mix of a rhino, elephant, and gorilla, he had gauntlets that looked like a rhino and elephant horn, and had a trench coat coming off the sides. His head also was shaped like a rhino, with a little horn on his forehead.
The woman turned into an aquatic monster, her head looking similar to a whale, she had a tentacle cape coming from the shoulders, an eel circling around her neck like a necklace, and her legs were covered in suction cups.
They all had a belt that had a yellow buckle.
"What the heck?" Applejack said. "Who are these guys?"
"Attack!" Atsio said.
They all attacked, but the girls went to fight. Applejack began fighting the heavy animal monster, her super strength against the monster proving to be equal.
"You strong. You fight like me." The monster said.
"I ain't no monster, ya horn head." Applejack said.
"I no horn head. I Gamel, strongest of Greeed!" The now named Gamel said.
"Wait. These guys are the Greeed we were told about?" Sunset asked.
"That is right, girl." The insect monster said, moving towards her and Fluttershy. "We used to serve the king till he betrayed us"
"We know what you guys are." Sunset said
"Do you all have names?" Fluttershy asked.
"We don't have time for this, Fluttershy." Sunset said.
"Right." Sougo said, strapping his driver on. "We need to stop this guy."
"Right." The others said, getting their drivers on, with Rarity putting on a ring and placing over her buckle.
[Driver On! Please!]
Sougo activated his watch, and slotted it into his driver. [Zi-O!]
Daisy pressed the button on her Gashat. [Mighty Action X!]
Pinkie flipped the switches on her driver. [3…2…1…!]
Rarity places the Flame ring on her finger as she switches the hand to the left.
[Shabadoobi Touch Henshin! Shabadoobi Touch Henshin!]
"Henshin!"
[Rider Time! Kamen~ Rider~ Zi-O~!]
[Gachan! Level Up! Mighty Action X!]
[Flame, Please! Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi-Hi!]
All the riders then help the girls fight, with Fluttershy hiding away due to not being a fighter.
"Aw, does the shy girl not fight?" The aquatic monster asked.
"You leave her alone!" Zi-O said.
Just then, more of those mummy creatures sprung out and went to attack. As they got closer, Geiz appeared and slashed at them.
"What are you doing?" Geiz asked.
"Wondering where you went. What took you so long? Sunset asked.
"No time for that." Zi-O said, taking out the Fourze watch.
"Same." Geiz said, taking out the Wizard watch.
[Fourze!]
[Wizard!]
They both slotted the watches, and pressed the driver buttons, and spun them.
[Armor Time!]
[3-2-1! Fourze~!]
[Please! Wizard~]
Zi-O and Geiz then took their weapons and slashed at the mummies, causing silver coins to come out.
"Hey, come help us, man." The cat monster asked.
"A king does not fight his battles. He lets his servants do that." Atsio said.
" A real king doesn't need others to fight. A king is a coward for not fighting." Zi-O said.
"You dare question my kingship, boy?!" Atsio said angrily, transforming into Another OOO.
[Õ̵̩̊̅Ǫ̵͌̌̄̀̾ͅO̴̳̤̜̜̭͋͑!]
Another OO then jumped at Zi-O and Geiz. He slashed at the two of them.
"I'll teach you to disrespect me!"
Suddenly, something came and attacked the head of Another OOO. It was a small red mechanical bird, which came out of nowhere.
"Go away, you pest!"
"Now, while he's distracted!" Geiz said, as he switched the Zax to bow mode.
[Yumi!]
"Right!" ZI-O said, switching the Girade to gun mode.
[Zyu!]
They both slotted the watches into their weapons.
[Finish Time!]
As the Another Rider, swatted the bird to the ground, he turned and saw two weapons pointing at him.
[Fourze! Zure Zure Shooting!]
[Wizard! Giwa Giwa Shoot!]
Zi-O fired a volley of energy rockets, while Geiz fired an arrow that went through a magic circle. Both attacks made contact as Another OOO fell back.
Meanwhile, Wizard was fighting against the insect monster, using her legs to strike the armor, and the WizarSwordGun to slash and stab at him.
"You ruffians need to be taught manners." Wizard said.
"We don't care about manners. We do what we need to fulfill our desires." The insect monster said.
"Hmph." Wizard slipped on a new ring, this one having a sapphire mask. "Then let me switch tactics."
She flipped the hand right to left, and placed her hand over the driver. [Water, Please! Sui-Sui, Sui-Sui!]
A magic circle appeared above Wizard as it moved over her, changing the gems and the suit. The suit now had sapphire gems over where the rubies were, and the helmet changed to that of a sapphire as well.
"Changing your form won't help." He said.
"Want to bet?" She taunted, slipping on a new ring, and scanned it.
[Liquid! Please!]
In an instant, her entire body had transformed into a liquid state, bashing into him and leaving him confused.
"Get back here and fight me, little girl!"
"Ok!" In an instant, she twisted her liquid body around him, putting him in a leg choke hold.
"Hey!"
"You know, this is easier to do than I thought. Hup!" She then let him go, and kicked him in the face.
Applejack was keeping Gamel on his toes.
"Whew! I ain't have a workout like this in a while!" Applejack said.
Sunset was keeping the insect monster away, but he swiped at her with his claws.
"You're good, girl, but you can't keep dodging me forever."
"I just need to keep you away." She said to her. Just then, the aquatic monster came and bonded her.
"Sorry, but we can't let you stop us."
Just then, red energy bullets struck her tentacles.
"What the?!"
"Leave them alone!" Faiz said, running with the Faiz Edge glowing.
"Who are you?!" The insect monster asked.
"Your worst nightmare!" She said, pressing the Enter button.
[Exceed Charge!]
She charged the blade and slashed at the two, causing them to cry out as silver coins erupted for them.
"Whoa! What are these?" Faiz picked up one of the coins.
Fourze was fighting the cat monster, using the Claw Module to match.
"Wow, you're good. But, can you do this?" He summoned mini tornadoes from his hands, and launched them.
"Whoa! Hey!" Fourze was lifted up, and dropped on the ground. "Okay! No more Ms Nice Pinkie."
She inserted the Elek switch and activated it. [Elek~ On~!]
"Let's put on a shocking new show." She then inserted the Winch switch and activated it. [Winch~ On~!]
She wrapped the winch around the cat man.
"Hey! What are you doing?!"
"This. Rider Electric Shock!" She then tapped the rod on the metal rope, which sent the electric shock to him.
"Augh! You'll pay for that!"
Sunset, Applejack, and Ex-Aid were keeping the aquatic and heavy monsters at bay.
"Man, this guy is tough. Even the Smasher isn't making a dent." Ex-Aid said.
"Yeah. He's as tough as a rhino." Applejack said.
Sunset was blocking the water whips that the female monster made, making sure that Fluttershy was ok.
"How interesting. You seem very caring for your friends." The monster said.
"I am. Why do you ask?" Sunset asked her.
"I want to know how to feel true love, but friendships seem to pass me by." The monster said.
"Oh my. That seems sad." Fluttershy said sadly.
"Fluttershy, now's not a good time." Sunset said.
As Another OOO was fighting Zi-O ad Geiz, he used the animal powers to jump and slash at them.
"You boys will learn that anyone who opposes me will feel my power." Another OOO said.
"That power doesn't belong to you." A voice rang out.
"Who dares?!"
"Me." Just then, coin shaped bullets struck him. The riders turned to see a person walking up, holding a strange gun.
Another OOO looked to see who it was. It was a man in his late 30s with combed back hair, wearing a white shirt, black pants, and boots. He also had military dog tags.
"Atsio. It's been a while." The man said to Another OOO.
"Akira Date." Another OOO transformed back to his human self. "Still working for that old man?"
"Mr. Kougami is really mad about you stealing OOO." The man, Date, said.
"He is mad at me? He's feeling what I felt when I was fired from the Foundation. I'm leveling the playing field." Atsio said.
Date then looked to see the Greeed. "Uva. Kazari. Gamel. Mezool. You brought them back."
"Yes, I did. Only, they are loyal to me." Atsio said.
"Well, looks like it's time to bring out the big guns." Date then took out a belt, and strapped it to his waist. It resembles a gashapon machine, with a golden knob on the right side, and a green orb on the front.
"Let's go." Date then took out a silver coin and flipped it, catching it in his left hand. "Henshin."
He inserted the coin, twisted the knob, and opened the front orb on the belt. He was surrounded in a green energy sphere, as numerous orbs appeared and began to form armor around him.
Where the man stood was a new rider to the others. The rider wore a black undersuit, the armor on him was silver and green, the chets armor had a green right side and a silver right side, and the helmet had a black visor and the top was similar to the belt. There were numerous orbs on the arms and legs, and one on the chest, and another on the back.
"Kamen Rider Birth is here." The new rider said, loading the gun.
"Attack him." Atsio commanded the Greeed. They all then ran to the rider.
"I know how you guys fight. Let's put that to a test." Birth said, firing at the Greeed. He picked up one of the coins. "This will do."
He closed the front, inserted the coin, and twisted the knob, opening the front orb.
[DRILL ARM!]
The orb on the right opened up, and spat out machine parts that formed into a new weapon, a drill.
Birth then began to bash and strike the Greeed, causing more coins to come out. He picks up another coin and inserts it into the driver, twisting the knob.
[SHOVEL ARM!]
The left orb spat out more machine parts, which formed into a shovel weapon.
"Come On!"
They were getting battered by him, which made Atsio angry.
"Enough! Retreat for now!" Atsio commanded them. "This is not over!"
They retreated back into the building, as the rider canceled his henshin. He then gave a happy laugh.
"Well, this is a welcome surprise. Kougami told me about you kids." Date said.
"He did?" Sougo asked.
"So, you're the little king, huh?" Date said. "Nice to meet you, and you girls too."
Geiz and Tsukuyomi then started to walk away, with girls and Sougo noticing.
"Geix, where are you going?" Sougo asked.
"We're going to make a plan to stop him. Don't do anything else." He said, and walked away.
"Well, let's meet back with Kougami, huh?" Date asked, and the group teleported back, thanks to Rarity.
*meanwhile*
"All of you are useless! I brought you back to life to fight my enemies, and you couldn't even do that!" Atsio scolded the Greeed.
"You wanted us to fight little girls, but they had powers." Uva said.
"They were strong. Plus, they were Kamen Riders." Kazari said.
"Nevermind. Go away." He ordered them as they left his office. He sat down, looking over his plans. "Kougami is up to his old tricks, I see."
"Sir, are you busy?" A scientist came in.
"What is it?" Atsio asked.
"It's the bird, sir. He's resisting."
"Damn. Take me to him."
The two walked to a secret lab, where it held a prisoner. It was a man in his early 30's, wearing a white shirt under a black jacket, red pants, and black boots. He had strawberry blonde hair swept to the right. The most notable aspect was his right arm, which looked more monstrous, with the colors being red and green. He wore a high tech collar on his neck.
"Hello, Ankh. How are you?" Atsio asked the man.
"Fake OOO." The man, Ankh, said. "What do you want?"
"Why are you being so stubborn?"
"You really think that I'll help you? You're a bigger fool than I realized." Ankh said.
Atsio then transformed into Another OOO. [Õ̵̩̊̅Ǫ̵͌̌̄̀̾ͅO̴̳̤̜̜̭͋͑!]
"You dare say that, being the one in that collar?" Another OOO said, his hand on Ankh's neck. "If I'm the fool, you are the imbecile."
"Tough talk from the man who stole from Kougami." Ankh said through grunts.
"He forced my hands, and now, I will force yours." Another OOO let go of his neck. " Take him to the cells. Let him think about our offer."
As the guards unshackled him, Ankh began to laugh. "Kougami is gonna send his best to fight you, you know that?"
"Who? Date and Goto? I know how they fight. Besides, they haven't met with what I have in store for them."
As they took him away, he transformed back, and went to the computers, looking over a new device he created.
"Soon, Kougami. The reveal will make it even sweeter." Atsio said viciously.
*Later, at the bakery*
The group went back to the bakery, and met up with Kougami there.
"Hmm. This is getting quite troubling. We need a way to infiltrate the castle." Kougami said.
"Well, what can we do? We can't just walk in." Sunset said.
"Right. We need to think smart." Sougo said. "We need a good plan."
As they were talking, Twilight was working on some gadgets from designs by Kengo.
"Hey, Twi-Twi. What do you got there?" Pinkie asked.
"Some gadgets Kengo had designs of. They can hold the power of your switches, actually, Pinkie." Twilight said, holding up the first one.
It was a small burger device in her hand. "Aww, it looks cute."
"Watch this." Twilight took out the Camera switch, and inserted it into the slot. In an instant, it transformed into a small robot, looking around at Twilight and Pinkie.
"Oh, my gosh! Look at you!" Pinkie held up the small droid.
Sougo saw the little droid, and an idea popped into his head. "That's it!"
"What's it?"
"Okay, I have an idea, but it might seem crazy and stupid." Sougo said.
"Sougo, any plans you might get are crazy and stupid, but they work." Sunset said.
"Alright, kid. What do you got?" Date asked.
*later*
Sougo walked up to the castle, carrying a backpack, and to where Atsio was relaxing with water. He saw him walking up.
"Yes, boy? What do you want?" He asked.
"I want to learn how to be a king, like you." Sougo said.
"Really? After you called me a cowardly king for not fighting my battles?" Atsio stood up and faced him.
"I want to learn how to truly be a king, like you did." Sougo said.
"Hmm. Interesting. And what about your friends?" Atsio asked, just as the girls came running towards him.
"Sougo! What are you doing?!" Twilight asked.
"I want to gain more, so I want to learn more as a king." Sougo said.
"This isn't the way to do that!" Rainbow said.
"I'm sorry, Rainbow." Sougo said.
"Zi-O!" Geiz yelled, running towards them. "I knew you would do this."
"Geiz, wait!" Tsukuyomi said.
"NO. I let this on long enough." Geiz said, taking out his watch. "It's time I ended your reign, Ohma Zi-O."
[Geiz!]
"Henshin!" He spun his driver, the giant watch behind him showing the hiragana as the watch straps surrounded him.
[Rider Time! Kamen~ Rider~ Geiz~!]
Geiz then ran and began his attack on Sougo, who expertly dodged his way from him. He took his watch out and activated it.
[Zi-O!]
He inserted it into his driver, pressed the button, and spun it.
"Henshin!"
[Rider Time! Kamen~ Rider~ Zi-O~!]
The watch bands encircled as the katakana slammed onto his helmet. The two riders punched at each other, and evaded attacks.
"I knew you were gonna seek the Another Rider, Zi-O. Now, I'm going to stop you." Geiz said.
"Geiz, wait. You don't know what is going on." Zi-O said.
"I don't need an explanation from you of all people." Geiz then punched him away.
"I'm sorry, Geiz, but I need to do this." Zi-O took out the Build watch and activated it.
[Build!]
He slotted it, pressed the driver button,and spun the driver as the armor appeared.
[Armor Time!]
"No, you don't!" Geiz ran, but Zi-O jumped over him and faced him as he back kick the armor, causing it to form on him.
[Best Match! Build~!]
Zi-O BA then used the drill to slash and strike at Geiz, and began his final attack.
[Finish Time! Build!]
Zi-O spun the driver, and summoned the as he jumped and slid down, the drill pointing forward.
[Vortex! Time Break!]
Geiz was then struck by the drill, and was flung back, canceling his henshin.
"Geiz!"
"Wonderful! You truly have the markings of a great king, boy Come, follow me." Atsio took SOugo with him, his backpack on him, as they entered the castle. Sougo looked back, and nodded to the girls.
"Ok, girls. Phase 1 is a go." Twilight said.
"Phase 1? What?" Tsukuyomi asked.
"Yes. The first part was for us to fight Sougo, but Geiz rushed in without any warning." Twilight said.
"Wait. Do you really have a plan?" Tsukuyomi asked.
"Yes, and we'll be glad to tell you when we meet up at the shop." Rainbow said. "Come on."
*at the clock shop*
Kougami and Date were waiting for the kids, while getting served tea by Junichiro.
"Here you are." Junichiro said.
"Thanks." Date said. "This is a nice little place you got."
"Thank you, Date-san." Junichiro said. "This is mainly a clock repair shop, but people come and bring items that aren't clocks. Well, business is business, I guess."
"Hmm. A man of a thousand talents, huh?" Kougami said. "Junichiro-san, I have an old grandfather clock I'd like you to fix."
"Really?" Junichiro asked.
"Yes. I believe you can see and fix the problem it has."
"Thank you, Kougami-san." Junichiro bowed, as he went to the back for snacks.
"I don't like this. All this waiting." Date said.
"We need to trust the children, and see that the plan works." Kougami said.
"I know, but I'm worried that Atsio will find out." Date said to him.
Just then, Erika came in with a smile. "Kougami-san, there are a few people here to see you."
"Oh. Who?"
Two people entered the clock shop. One was a woman in her late 20s, with black hair in a ponytail, wearing a green dress shirt, white jeans, and red shoes. The other was a man in his early 30s with black hair, wearing a suit, black dress shoes, and a detective badge on his belt.
"Hello, Kougami-san." The woman waved.
"Hina-chan. Shingo-san. It's good to see you both." Kougami said.
"Hina! Shingo! Come here." Date walked and hugged the two. "What are you guys doing here?"
"We came because we were worried about you. We know that Atsio was an ex-employee, and seeing him as that Fake OOO, we came as we could." Hina said.
"Well, that can't be the only reason, huh?"
"Well, we actually have a more important matter. We know where Eiji is." Shingo said.
"You do?!" Both men asked.
"Yes. He's actually in the castle. We learned this from Goto." Hina said.
"Goto?"
"Yeah. He has someone inside that's been feeding him information." Shingo said.
"Well, this is a surprise." Kougami said. "We actually have a plan going as well."
"Wait, what?" Hina asked.
"Well, I guess we can use both plans to stop him. I'm worried now about Eiji." Date said.
"Do you think he's ok?" Hina asked them.
"Hina, it's Eiji. He'll be fine." Shingo said.
"Yeah. Eiji is tougher than we think he is." Date said.
"I just hope he's fine." Hina said.
*conference room, Atsio Castle*
Ankh was dragged to a conference room, by the guards, and pushed inside as they locked it.
"Dammit. I need to get out of here." He punched the door, but it was too tough. "What the hell?"
"You can't get here that way."
Ankh stopped as he heard a voice. He knew that voice, but didn't know if it was his mind playing tricks.
"I tried using a chair on it. It broke the chair." The voice said as he turned around slowly. The window shadowed the person's face, but he needed to be sure.
"W-Who are you?" Ankh asked.
"Oh, my apologies." The person stood up and revealed himself. It was a man in his late 20s, wearing a blue dress suit, with a red feather clipped on the left. He had shaggy black hair and a kind smile.
"I'm Eiji Hino. I'm the ambassador for the Diet of Japan." Eiji reached his hand out as Ankh gaped in shock. "Are you okay, sir?"
"...Eiji?"
