Rider Time Zi-O: Roze from Remnant Chapter 139: 2019: Legends against Finality, a Kamen Rider + RWBY Crossover fanfic

Rider Time Zi-O: Roze from Remnant

Chapter 124 – 2019: Legends against Finality

"As it is written here, Tokiwa Sougo embarks on a path which leads him to become the overlord of time, Oma Zi-O. As the trials grow greater, so does the reality of that future's arrival," Woz narrated as he stepped across his usual black void.

"After struggling against NeoRoze, Miss Rose was able to defeat her thanks to my Overlord's efforts," Woz watched as he flipped through the pages, Roze Remnant being shown off before he closed the book and picked up his pace, "Despite this victory however we still must deal with Final Shocker's invasion… which not only includes our world, but several others in an attempt to spread us thin. Only four chapters remain… until the end of our worlds."

World of Tsukuyomi

In a recovering but ruined city, several bystanders all yelled out as various Final-Shocker grunts and minions paraded through the streets. A few masquerade Dopants had tried to attack a mother and daughter only for them to get kicked away by Futaros.

"Hey you two, you need to get out of here," Futaros told the mother and daughter only for them to shriek, "H-Hey wait, I'm not one of them! I'm-"

"Just move!" Tsukuyomi shouted as she shoved her Imagin partner away before quickly looking over, "You two need to run, I'll handle this."

The mother and daughter both nodded, the mom quickly lifting the daughter up as she stood before hurrying off alongside the other civilians.

"You may be friendly but you're still an Imagin," Tsukuyomi reminded her partner as she stared at the approaching horde of Final-Shocker grunts and minions.

"Well excuse me for trying to help," Futaros scoffed as he crossed his arms, "Still, this was not how I was expecting things to go."

"Especially considering I was hoping we'd avoid this specific situation for a while longer," Tsukuyomi said as she looked up, both Earth and Remnant in clear view for her world to see. The resulting quakes because of the worlds closing in on each other had her and Futaros go into the city to try and keep people calm, only for Final-Shocker to start showing up.

"What do you think is even going on?" Futaros asked.

"Whatever's going on, we need to make sure we stop it," Tsukuyomi said as she prepared her base transformation, "Henshin!"

[RIDER TIME! KAMEN~ RI~DER~ TSUKU~YOMI! TSU-KU-YO-MI!]

Tsukuyomi drew out her Zikan Girade Tsu in its gun mode, taking aim and firing at the approaching army.

Her shots managed to hit, knocking a few Masquerade Dopants and Dustards down as the rest charged towards her. The Rider let out a light gasp as she and Futaros were quickly crowded by the grouping of grunts.

"Jeez, it's like they're suddenly moths to a flame!" Futaros called out as he kicked a Guardian away before striking an Ant Amazon in the face.

"Something's not right," Tsukuyomi called out as she shot a Blank Roidmude in the face before kicking a Ghoul away, "Just why are they-"

[STRIKE FORM!]

Sudden powerful slashes from both a sword and water began to cut through the ranks of the grunts, spreading them out as Kamen Riders New Den-O and Aqua were the ones to assist.

"Huh?" Tsukuyomi looked over at the two Riders, "Aren't you two...?"

"The Riders that met with your friend," New Den-O nodded, "And it looks like we were right to keep an eye on you."

"What do you mean?" Tsukuyomi asked.

"This attack on your world isn't random," Aqua explained, "They're trying to take you out so your world will end up on the verge of collapse again."

"Oh come on," Futaros whined, "We just got here!"

A pair of Final-Shocker Combatmen suddenly stepped into view, drawing out strange buckles before latching them onto their waists.

[GRIMM RIDE: BRIAR ROSE!]

The four defending combatants could only watch as the two Final-Shocker grunts convulsed and transformed into two more copies of Briar Rose.

"They can mass produce that thing?!" Tsukuyomi questioned as she reeled back.

"Oh I take it that's a bad thing," Futaros said as he looked over at his partner.

"It doesn't matter what they can do," New Den-O called out as he aimed the Macheteddy forward, "We need to hold this line."

"Right," Aqua nodded as he got in a stance, though was wary from Tsukuyomi's comment, "We're not the only ones fighting."

Ganma World

It was not only the main World of Riders that was under attack, but also neighboring worlds that had allies that could assist. One such world was the Ganma World, the still recovering world under siege as several Ganma Commandos alongside the Batta Yummy tried to attack anyone they could.

[TENGAN! NECROM! MEGA ULORD!]

The Necrom Damashii suddenly began snaking through the small grouping of monsters, striking them and forcing them to stagger. It returned to Alain who fully transformed into Kamen Rider Necrom.

[CRUSH INVADER!]

He quickly brought out his Gan Gun Catcher, taking aim and shooting down the Ganma Commandos as the Batta Yummy ran towards him. He quickly shifted his weapon, blocking a punch from the Yummy before forcing the monster's fist back, taking aim and shooting the Batta Yummy in the face to stagger it.

"Do not think I'll let you all do as you please simply because I'm the only one here," Necrom remarked before charging forward, striking and smacking away Ganma Commandos.

Some Final-Shocker Combatmen had quickly rushed into the fight, aiming to strike at Necrom from behind only for one of them to get kicked into the others. The result was the Combatmen tumbling all over each other and sprawling against the ground.

"Huh?" Necrom turned in surprise.

"You're not alone," the one who had defended Necrom was none other than his sister Alia who had a Proto Mega Ulorder on her left arm, "We'll fight together brother."

"Very well," Necrom said before giving a gasp, the Batta Yummy managing to disarm him before it began to grapple with him.

Alia quickly drew out a pink Necrom Eyecon and loaded it in, "Henshin!"

[LOADING! NECROM!]

A simplistic all black transient state formed over her with Necrom's distinct buckle, gaining a pink variant of the Ore Damashii with its hood still up, her mask being a pink variation of Necrom's.

Dark Necrom Pink rushed towards the Combatmen that were recovering, punching one away before ducking underneath a swing and elbowing another. She then spun, managing to catch a couple in a swinging kick.

[DESTROY! DAI TENGAN!]

Necrom managed to get closer to the Batta Yummy as they grappled, freeing his left arm and initiating his finisher as green energy began gathering in his left arm. He then let out a yell as he unleashed the energy against the Yummy's chest, an explosion occurring.

[NECROM! OMEGA ULORD!]

Helheim Planet

Yells were heard throughout the lush fields and forests of the Helheim Planet. While it was the furthest away it could be from it all, it was still a target for Final-Shockers stalling invasion.

Bugster Viruses and Salis Worms were thrown around alongside Combatmen. As their target was none other than Kouta Kazuaraba, Kamen Rider Gaim. Said Rider being in his Kiwami Arms as he easily plowed through the forces presented.

Despite this there were still a lot of grunts and monsters present, all of them being led by the Oogumo Great Leader.

"Come now!" Oogumo called out, "For the glory of Final-Shocker we must continue onwards!"

[BANASPEAR! BUDOU RYUHOU!]

Rapidly fired purple energy bullets tore through several grunts as Gaim rushed in, piercing through a Square Smash with the Banaspear. He removed it and turned away, the Smash exploding as he turned the Kiwami Lockseed a few more times.

[MELON DEFENDER!]

He threw his arm outwards, the Melon Defender shield swinging outwards in an arc and striking several Combatmen to knock them backwards.

[DURI NOKO!]

He threw these at an approaching Albinoleo Imagin, the blades impacting against the ground and exploding, catching the Imagin in a flurry of spikes.

[DONKACHI! KAGEMATSU!]

Gaim quickly tossed the Kagematsu spear towards Oogumo, forcing the spider-like monster to block with its blades. Of course that was a distraction as Gaim had leapt towards Oogumo before slamming down with the Donkachi, a bronze shockwave occurring from the hammer and forcing the Final-Shocker General backwards.

Gaim was ready to close in and deal with the leader when he gasped, the Violence Dopant suddenly slamming into him and knocking him back.

"Why you…" Gaim growled out as the Violence Dopant began to approach, until it suddenly was ensnared in numerous vines that had erupted from the plant life of Planet Helheim. It took Gaim a second to realize that it wasn't him who did that before looking over at a nearby cliff, seeing Mai with her hand held out. He let out a soft chuckle, "Thanks Mai."

[SOIYA! KIWAMI SQUASH!]

The Violence Dopant struggled against the vines wrapping around it only for it to turn as it watched Gaim leap up and hurtle down towards it while kicking out, multicolored energy exploding out from the Rider's foot.

Earth – Tokyo, Early July 2019

It was still utter chaos as Combatmen alongside various minions of past organizations continued to cause destruction. They were knocking over objects, breaking windows, or attacking any civilian who couldn't get away in time.

A Combatman grunt was ready to stomp on a fallen woman only for it to get grabbed and kicked in the shin before being tossed away. The culprit was Geiz who went to help the woman up before ushering her off.

"Are we sure we should've let Ruby go through with her sudden plan?" Geiz asked as he looked over.

"Not really, but when you consider the alternative given our worlds at the moment…" Tsukasa trailed off, coming into view as he kicked a Bugster Virus away as he looked and pointed upwards, "We'll just need to pick up the slack."

The two quickly backed up however when several arrows were launched at them. The resulting arrows forcing them close towards each other as various grunts began to surround them in a ring. Joining them was the perpetrator of the arrows, the Mirror Monster known as Buzzstinger Bee.

"I guess we will," Geiz said as he looked around, preparing his Driver and Ridewatch, "Just don't get in my way, Hesnhin!"

"I could say the same," Tsukasa said as he prepared his Driver for Complete 20, bringing out the K-Touch Double Deca and setting it up, "Henshin!"

[RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER GEIZ!]

[FINAL KAMEN RIDE: DECADE COMPLETE 20!]

Geiz in his base form stood back to back Decade Complete 20, the two stepping forward to deal with opposite sides of the ring. The grunts and Buzzstinger Bee all backed up in surprise, not expecting the sudden transformations but stepped forward regardless of the Riders before them.

"Let's get started," Geiz said as he kept pace, "It's going to be a long day."

"Thankfully we're not dealing with this alone," Decade remarked as he waltzed towards Buzzstinger Bee, which backed up while taking aim at the Rider, "But even when it comes to here on Earth, we're spread out pretty thin."

Earth – Futo, Early July 2019

Several Masquerade Dopants were currently marching through the streets, trying to cause as much damage as they could.

[PRISM!]

The Masquerade Dopants were suddenly cut through, falling back and exploding as the assailant was Kamen Rider W CycloneJokerXtreme.

"That's another batch," Shotaro said as W looked around.

"Yes, we should keep searching though," Philip suggested, "Especially since Terui isn't here."

W went to walk off before quickly turning at a high speed sound, raising the Prism Bicker and bracing against a blast. He lowered the shield as he saw the culprit.

"Well, well…" metal clanking was heard as the culprit was the Strange Demon Robot, Shvarian, being flanked by several Combatmen, "W, this is the end of the line for you!"

"Look at this cocky punk," Shotaro scoffed.

"It seems as though we've attracted the attention of one of the bigger members," Philip noted as W got in a defensive stance.

"Now then…" Shvarian said as he went to close in alongside his troops.

[SKULL MAXIMUM DRIVE!]

W's heart skipped a beat in that moment as purple energy rained down upon Shvarian and the Combatmen, explosions engulfing and wiping them out.

"Huh?" Shotaro asked as W looked over.

"I heard this city wasn't as well defended as Tokyo," Skull said as he was on a rooftop before dropping down and landing near W, "So I thought I'd help."

"You…" Shotaro muttered.

"How compelling…" Philip admitted.

"You don't mind, right?" Skull asked before growls could be heard, a GuldThunder Mirror Monster alongside a Tengu Makamou closing in with a variety of minions backing them up.

"O-Of course not," Shotaro managed to sputter out as W quickly stood at the ready.

"Let's get going then, Skull," Philip let out a small chuckle as W charged for the grouping of monsters.

Skull tipped his hat slightly before charging forward after W, "Right, let's."

Earth – Zawame, Early July 2019

A swarm of insects were plaguing a crowd of people, all of them attempting to run away only for the insects to reform into two creatures, the Locust Undead and Grasshopper Monster. The two had reformed in the middle of the crowd, smacking anyone nearby away. As the two continued their assault they were suddenly slammed into by two large spiked gloves.

[MIX! KURUMI ARMS! MR. KNUCKLE MAN! JIMBER MARRON! HA-HA!]

"Alright you punks, let's go!" Knuckle shouted as he had forced the two insect monsters back, slamming his spiked outer-shell gloves together before going in for a few more punches to drag them further away from the crowd.

The Locust Undead and Grasshopper Monster both hissed out as they erupted into swarms of insects, trying to surround and overwhelm Knuckle.

"Like I'll let you go that far!" Knuckle grunted as he initiated his finisher.

[KURUMI SQUASH! JIMBER MARRON SQUASH!]

He raised his hands and clasped them together, the outer shells of his Marron Bombers clanging against the other and shining brightly before exploding into a burst of energy spikes. The resulting wave of spikes had struck the swarms enough to force the Locust Undead and Grasshopper Monster to reform.

The resulting explosion of the Marron Bombers revealed the shells-off gauntlets, the Rider gathering fiery energy in each and leaping forward. He then slammed his fist into each monster's chest smashing them to the ground as explosions occurred from the impact.

Knuckle stood up only to gasp as sparks flew from his back, he stepped forward and turned only to see several Roidmudes marching towards him.

"You want a piece of me?" Knuckle asked as he smacked his gloves together.

[LYCHEE AU LAIT!]

A stylized Lychee emblem appeared underneath the Roidmudes, energy projections of lychees appearing around the grouping and trapping them.

[KINGDURIAN AU LAIT!]

An energy durian crackling with red energy formed from above, vines launching downwards from it and striking the lychee projections, causing chain explosions to go off.

The combined finisher was courtesy of Kamen Riders Gridon and Bravo, the duo in their upgraded forms of Lychee Arms and Kingdurian Arms.

"Jonouchi, Oren!" Knuckle called out in relief as he hurried over, "Good to see you all helping out."

"Of course," Bravo called out as he looked himself over, noting the primary black and red armoring that took over his usual dark green and purple, alongside the black and red cape, "Plus I can finally test out this upgrade that I was given."

"It's kind of scary, but it looks good on you Master," Gridon complimented.

"You don't look half bad yourself," Knuckle said as he noted the brighter white and red armoring that Lychee Arms gave Gridon alongside the upgrade of a weapon in the Shine Lychee Sword.

"Oh, thank you," Gridon bowed.

Their small peaceful moment however was interrupted when a sudden legion of grunts began to work their way out of corners and the roofs of buildings, slowly but surely approaching.

"Now, now boys," Bravo said as he took the lead, "Remember, we're in the middle of a battle."

"Right," Gridon said as he gripped his sword, "We can do this!"

"Yeah," Knuckle nodded as he smacked his gloves together again, "Let's give them hell!"

Earth – Nagano, Early July 2019

"This way, come on hurry!"

Several officers were currently making sure a large grouping of civilians was heading towards the designated shelters. While monster attacks were rare in Nagano, they were still wary given what had happened at the start of the 2000's. No one was expecting an invasion like this, dozens upon dozens of the past henchmen and grunts just littering the streets and forcing the local police to deal with it as well as they could.

Of course that was easier said than done when a few Dustards had closed in, disarming the officers before raising their blades high to bring them down. That was until sparks flew, the Dustards stumbling back.

The officers quickly looked over to see Kamen Rider G3 riding over on his Guard Chaser while holding his gun forward, "You guys alright?"

The officers stared at the Kamen Rider before suddenly realizing who exactly had spoken.

"Eh, Ichijo?!" one officer called out.

"Where did you get that suit?" another officer asked.

"Do we even have permission to use it?" a third officer asked.

"It was sent from Tokyo a few weeks ago and I decided to commandeer it given the situation," G3 answered as he quickly took aim and shot at a few Masquerade Dopants, taking them down, "Deal with the evacuations, I'll handle these things. Try and get whatever special armaments we have too."

The officers saluted, quickly scrambling to retrieve their guns before hurrying off as G3 took aim, shooting at more approaching grunts. Once the area was clear, G3 was ready to drive forward when he heard a yell, quickly dismounting and hurrying towards the source of the scream.

By the time he had gotten to the source, it was already too late. An older woman on the ground with a glowing cut along her body that closed up. Standing over her was the Phantom, Legion, it turning towards G3 with no words.

"What did you do to her?!" G3 questioned as he took aim and shot, sparks flying though Legion continued to walk towards G3 at a steady pace. The Rider looked at his weapon in surprise, "Even with the specialized ammo it can't pierce that thing?"

Legion brought out its dual bladed staff, rushing towards G3 only for a red blur to suddenly tackle it to the ground.

"Huh?" G3 stepped back as he saw the armored warrior before him, it being Kuuga but the armoring was a darker metallic red, "Yusuke?"

"Not the one you know," Kuuga(O) shook his head, "I came here when I heard they were attacking this city too."

"I see…" G3 nodded.

"Leave this to me," Kuuga(O) said as he took a stance, black and yellow electricity crackling as he took a stance before shifting into Rising Ultimate form, "I'll deal with this monster."

"Alright," G3 said as he quickly turned to head back for his bike, running off only for another red blur to pass him. He looked over, giving a chuckle before continuing to run back towards his bike, giving a thumbs-up.

Legion was currently trying to bat away Kuuga(O), the Rider letting out a yell as he shoved Legion backwards. Before the Phantom could move forward, a second Kuuga in Mighty Form flipped over Kuuga(O), kicking out and striking the Phantom in the head to force it down to the ground.

"Ah," Kuuga(O) stepped back, "Godai."

"Onodera," Kuuga(G) said as he stood up, "Why are they attacking here?"

"Probably because you were in the area still and they wanted to distract you from what was happening in Tokyo," Kuuga(O) guessed, "I was sent here to make sure everyone wasn't overwhelmed."

"Thanks," Kuuga(G) said as he took a stance, his armor crackling with electricity as it began to shift and change, transforming into the jagged black and gold Ultimate Form, "I know we've met prior to this, but this is the first time we're fighting together, right?"

"Yep," Kuuga(O) nodded as he went to stand beside the older Rider, "I have to admit, I'm honored."

"I could say the same," Kuuga(G) agreed, "It's not every day when you go and fight alongside an alternate version of yourself."

The two Riders let out a yell as they charged towards Legion who brandished its bladed staff before running forward.

Earth – Tokyo, Early July 2019

Several people were running in fear, the sounds of multiple objects flying swiftly through the air rung out. It didn't take long for everyone to suddenly fall over dead in mere seconds.

Go·Jalaji·Da let out a laugh as it walked into view, clearly content with the prey it had killed. It turned to walk off, planning on finding more suitable targets.

[ZI-O II!]

Go·Jalaji·Da was suddenly confused as it was a few steps back from where it was, as well as its prey that it had killed was suddenly up and running away.

[SAIKYO FINISH TIME!]

Go·Jalaji·Da suddenly turned at the announcement, backing up in surprise as Kamen Rider Zi-O II was right behind it, already having the Saikyo Zikan Girade prepped while raising up the sword. The Gurongi could only feel one thing in that moment, fear. It needed to run, and it turned to do so, but that's all it could do in the end, turn to run.

[KING GIRI GIRI SLASH!]

Zi-O yelled out as he slashed downwards, the golden energy of his finisher crashing down against the Gurongi, an explosion occurring as it was entirely annihilated. He let out several heavy breaths as he worked to calm himself down from what he had seen. While he wasn't planning on overdoing it with his time reversal during the current battle, he knew he wasn't going to let that Gurongi have the pleasure of killing numerous innocents.

He closed his eyes, looking around and activating his Semblance, watching the chaos around him. He could see civilians fleeing, monsters and grunts causing as much chaos as they could, allies fighting their hardest... and a strange small flying object?

He quickly shifted back to his normal vision as the object got closer, soon revealing it to be a small condor-like mechanical creature. It suddenly shifted into a rotary phone that dropped down, Zi-O soon catching it.

"Oh, you're Takeru's condor phone," Zi-O said as he was holding the Condor Denwor, giving a yelp as it suddenly began ringing. He picked it up and answered it, "Uh, hello?"

"Ah good, it got to one of you," a voice said on the other line.

"Huh, wait, Makoto?" Sougo asked, recognizing the voice, "What's going on?"

"My sister and I came back to Earth to help out," Makoto explained, "We're currently setting up a safe zone at the Daitenku Temple with Takeru and Kanon figured you might be able to help coordinate something."

"Luckily I have a lot of people's numbers," Zi-O chuckled before nodding, "Alright I'll try and send anyone I can your way."

"That's appreciated," Makoto said before a loud roar was heard, "Got to go, and good luck!"

"Got it," Zi-O said before hanging up, the Condor Denwor transforming before flying off. He then drew out his Scroll, realizing that he was going to need to get to work.

It didn't take long to coordinate with everyone from Remnant, Zi-O using Penny to help upload a map of the city alongside directions to the Daitenku Temple. While a couple of groups had chosen to keep on the attack, several that were near civilians had immediately worked to get them pointed in the right direction.

"Are they all rounded up?" Fiona asked as she shot a few electrical bolts to stun some Salis Worms.

"Yep, we should be good," May said as she was near a crowd of civilians, her Semblance soon activating causing them all to vanish from sight.

A few Ghouls perked up in confusion, rushing towards where the grouping had vanished only for Nora to get in the way, yelling out as she swung her Magnhild while unleashing a grenade. The result was a burst that launched several of the Ghouls back while breaking the remaining ones apart.

"Get going, we'll keep them distracted!" Nora called out as she switched Magnhild back to its grenade launcher form to unleash its payload into the crowd of grunts, explosions going off and knocking them back.

"Yeah," Fiona said as she quickly loaded up some explosive bolts into her crossbows before taking aim and firing to kick up more explosions.

"Thanks," May said before looking at the small grouping of civilians she had with her. She then began to gesture and turn as she pulled out her Scroll, "Come on, I'll get you somewhere safe."

"Stay!" Marrow shouted as he pointed forward, managing to just barely stop a T-Rex Dopant that had leapt towards a group of cornered civilians, "Seriously, a big head with arms and legs…?"

A few of the bystanders could only look up in awe as the T-Rex Dopant had stopped mid-air. A few murmuring and wondering what exactly Marrow was to be able to do that.

"H-Hey…" Marrow spoke up, "You guys you need to-"

"Alright people, move it, move it!" Jaune called out as he ran over to the civilians to catch their attention. He quickly began making gestures towards the side, "There's a temple taking people for shelter, keep heading along this path and you'll be good!"

It didn't take long for the civilians to evacuate the area after that. Everything seemed to be looking good, Marrow ready to release his Semblance once Jaune was out of the way, only for him to get slammed in the back by a Masquerade Dopant wielding a baton.

Marrow winced and quickly turned, shooting the Dopant in the face and sending it to the ground. That was when he realized what had happened.

The T-Rex Dopant roared as it crashed down on Jaune, but the Huntsman was already prepared. He unleashed a gravity burst from his shield, managing to force the T-Rex Dopant away and into a nearby wall, the Dopant falling out from the wall and crashing into a car.

"Alright," Jaune pumped his fist.

"Sorry about that," Marrow said as he walked over.

"Its fine," Jaune reassured before hearing a sudden crashing, turning to see the T-Rex Dopant roaring further.

The Dopant tore apart the ground it was standing on alongside the building and the car it was near. The debris alongside the other debris already scattered began to gather together before creating a mechanical T-Rex body for itself.

"Oh crap…" Marrow muttered before quickly turning and running, "They can do that?!"

"I guess so!" Jaune called out as he ran after Marrow, the Big T-Rex Dopant roaring out before running after them. At least until several blasts struck against its head, forcing it to pause and back up before roaring out.

Both Jaune and Marrow heard the blasts and turned, watching as the Woz Unit Time Mazine suddenly landed in front of them.

"Huh?" Marrow tilted his head before sighing in relief, "Oh thank goodness, that's Woz's machine right?"

"Should be," Jaune nodded.

"Sorry to say but I'm not Woz," a familiar old lady's voice spoke through the speakers of the unit, it turning back to show it had no Rider indicator as its head before laughter was heard, "It's time for the Grimm Reaper to come out of retirement again!"

"Wait a minute," Jaune's eyes widened as he recognized the voice, "Maria?!"

"The one and only," Maria called out before the Time Mazine turned to dash towards the Big T-Rex Dopant, it slamming its fist into it to knock the Dopant's head away before getting it into a headlock, "Time to have some fun with a new toy!"

"I'm surprised you decided to go for the attack," Oscar said as he smacked the Long Memory against the shin of a Dustard, forcing it to kneel before he struck it across the head.

"My Semblance is best suited for Grimm," Ren said as he blocked a few Dustards blades, forcing them down and shooting to stagger them. He then rushed past, slicing through them, "I doubt most monsters here work like they do."

"Fair enough," Oscar said as he jabbed forward, knocking a Bugster Virus back as he looked around, "Though given the size of everything…"

'You're considering it?' Ozpin asked, 'Oh, watch your left.'

Oscar quickly blocked a grab from an Elementary Inves, shoving it back before striking it in the head to disorient it, 'Thanks, but also yeah, we'd really need to make it count though.'

'True, I suppose we can just wait for the right moment,' Ozpin agreed.

"Is everything alright?" Ren asked as he shot at a few Bugster Viruses to distract them.

"Yeah, just thinking about the battle alongside Oz," Oscar admitted before frowning, "We might need to go all out…"

"Oscar…" Ren muttered.

The Rikugame Yummy let out a yell as it launched its ball and chain against a support pillar, entirely shattering it only for the broken pieces to suddenly gain a purple glow. The pieces then suddenly began pulling themselves back together, albeit a bit crudely before they managed to reform into a stabilized pillar once more.

The Yummy could only tilt its body in confusion as it raised its ball and chain, ready to do it again. That was until several heavy shots landed against its head. It turned only for a wave of fire to suddenly engulf it, it stepping backwards due to the pain as a cobbled together spire of debris and rubble struck it while it was off guard, slamming it into and through a nearby wall.

"Ho ho, not bad you two!" a jovial voice called out as Beacon Academy's own Grimm Studies teacher, Professor Peter Port was on the scene while holding his blunderbuss axe, Blowhard.

Approaching at his sides were Glynda and fellow professor Bartholomew Oobleck, the latter holding his thermos/flamethrower staff, Antiquity's Roast.

"I doubt that fully dealt with it," Glynda said as she could see movement behind the smoke, "And if it did we have more company."

"No matter, there's a reason we're here," Port called out as he held his axe by the barrel, planning on going for melee at the moment.

"Indeed my friend," Oobleck nodded as he aimed his staff forward, "It would feel wrong for us to simply sit back when the veterans of this world chose to help ours in its time of need."

"Yes, let's show them exactly what we're made of," Glynda said as she began to prepare her Semblance.

The Phantom Khepri was currently wandering around while swinging at anyone in its way with its sword. Well that was until another sword blocked its swing against a civilian, more specifically Harbinger as Qrow slid into view.

"Hey, get going!" Qrow called out as the man gave a nod and ran off. He then let out a yell as he forced Khepri backwards while disarming it of its blade, "The heck is this thing supposed to be?"

"A scarab, maybe," Rose remarked as she backpedaled past Qrow from behind, a few Formica Pedes having grabbed onto her. She let out a yell and threw her arm out, slicing into them via Sundered Rose.

Khepri was ready to move towards its sword to recover it when Taiyang suddenly came into view, performing a spinning kick that forced it to stagger to the side.

"It does kind of look like a beetle," Taiyang said before shaking his foot slightly, "Feels tough like one too."

"Let's hit a bit harder then," Rose said as she quickly drew out a card before loading it into her Roseiber and holding her hand towards Taiyang.

[WEAPON RIDE: RYUKI, DRAGCLAW!]

"Whoa," Taiyang stepped back slightly as a red blur shot out from Rose's hand only for it to latch onto his right arm. Soon enough he gained Ryuki's Dragclaw, looking it over and admiring it, "I think I can work with this."

"Test it out," Rose suggested before turning and striking a Masquerade attempting to get near her.

"Alright," Taiyang said as he charged towards Khepri, leaping and punching down. The result managed to force the Phantom back as he went for a few more punches, eventually opening the weapon's mouth and unleashing a burst of flames to force it back further.

Several Ghouls suddenly got between the two, the grouping quickly rushing towards Taiyang only for fireballs to suddenly strike against them to stall their movements. Before they even had a chance to react a red and black blur charged through them. A yellow blade began lashing out as electricity struck and helped break and shatter the Ghouls.

It didn't take long for the culprit to be revealed as Raven, the bandit Maiden simply swinging her sword to detach the now damaged lightning Dust blade she had. It shattered upon hitting the ground as she slotted her hilt back into her multi-cartridge scabbard.

"Thanks for that," Taiyang said as he walked over.

"I don't need thanks, I was just dealing with the enemy," Raven answered as she turned towards Khepri who was standing its ground. She narrowed her eyes as the flames that signified her Maiden status lit up in bright red.

"Whatever you say," Rose remarked as she went to join up with her teammates, "But you've got the right idea, we need to clear out as many of these guys as we can."

"Should be easy given our team, even if it's been a while," Qrow replied as he walked over, "I'd like to imagine luck's on our side."

"Now that's a phrase I never thought I'd hear," Raven let out a light scoff as she drew out Omen, one of her standard blades in place.

"We can't exactly go back to how we were," Rose admitted as she drew out her Roseiber to dual wield, "But… that doesn't mean we can't work together in a desperate situation like this."

"Exactly," Taiyang nodded as he held up his arm with the Dragclaw as if raising his fist.

Khepri let out a yell as it charged towards Team STRQ, the four simply glancing at each other before charging towards the Phantom.

The Daitenku Temple was a hotspot for monster activity, various grunts and monsters attempting to get at people trying to flee into the place to keep them from getting to some kind of shelter. And yet at the same time, the Daitenku Temple was likely one of the most well guarded places.

The 15 Luminary Spirits that Takeru, Makoto, and Alain would fight with were all out and about, protecting the exterior areas of the Temple from any monster's that tried to get in or even slipped through. Of course Ghost in Mugen Damashii, Sin Specter, and Kanon Specter were all on the front lines as well, the trio fighting alongside the Luminary Spirits that made up the 15 Eyecons.

While Shibuya, Narita, Onari, and Jabel worked to get people situated in the temple as best they could, the Riders and Luminary spirits fought their hardest.

Nobunaga took aim, firing and shooting down a few Formica Pedes with his Gan Gun Hand, Specter quickly coming in and kicking away a Soldier Ant Amazon that was trying to sneak up on the Luminary.

"It's been a while," Specter remarked.

"Indeed," Nobunaga nodded, "Let us fight and crush our opposition!"

Kanon Specter let out a yell, punching away a few Salis Worms before spinning and kicking out, striking a Ghoul in the chest and sending it back. A few Kuzu Yummies lumbered towards Kanon Specter only for them to get shot in the back, tumbling to the ground.

"I must admit little miss," Billy the Kid said as he was the one who had shot the Yummies down, "Didn't expect you to become a full fledged Rider."

"Well I'm full of surprises," Kanon Specter giggled before walking towards Billy the Kid and getting shoulder to shoulder with him, "It's an honor fighting alongside you now."

"Same," Billy the Kid chuckled as he combined his dual guns into their rifle mode and took aim as Kanon Specter rushed off to deal with another set of grunts.

The Kamakiri Yummy growled out as it slashed forward, only for Edison to block the attack with his gun.

"I am Edison," Edison said as he shoved the Kamakiri Yummy away before unleashing a stream of electricity to stagger it, "Edison!"

Ghost and Musashi yelled out, the two dual wielding blades as they leapt past Edison, both slashing against the Kamakiri Yummy and striking it with two sets of cross slashes. The Yummy gasped as it staggered forward before turning only to explode, Cell Medals flying all over.

"I can't believe it…" Jabel trailed in shock as he looked at the skies above the Tenkuji Temple, aiming his finger upwards, "GUNDARI!"

Shibuya and Narita could only stare in deadpan at Jabel's outburst before quickly turning and hurrying over to fleeing civilians as they entered the Temple's gates, ushering them to a safer area inside.

Of course Jabel's outburst wasn't just a sudden one as the serpentine-like monster of the Ganma world soared through the skies and was heading straight for the Daitenku Temple.

Ghost quickly turned, "Makoto!"

"Right, let's go!" Specter nodded.

[CHOU DAIKAIGAN! MUGEN GOD OMEGA DRIVE!]

[SIN DAIKAIGAN! SIN SPECTER DEADLY OMEGA DRIVE!]

The two Riders leapt upwards to meet the Gundari head to head, both of them yelling out as they kicked out towards it with the Gundari charging headfirst. The two Riders kicked with their right legs, striking the center eye of the Gungari before shouting further, an explosion occurring that engulfed the Gundari, Ghost and Specter dropping down and landing nearby.

"Heads up," Kanon Specter said as she hurried over, "We've got more groups refugees incoming."

"Sougo managed to get the word out well enough then," Specter realized.

"That's good to hear," Ghost nodded before turning away, "We need to keep hold of this line then."

The Sword Roidmude chuckled as it scraped its bladed arms against the other, sparks flying as it closed in on a lone woman. It raised its blades up only for a sudden blur to slam between it and the civilian, a large gust of wind forcing it back. This didn't deter it as it charged in again only to be met by a flurry of spinning blades that deflected its slashes and forced it to stagger.

The woman could only stare up in awe as the one who had saved her was Penny who had a kind smile on her face.

"Are you alright?" Penny asked as she quickly helped the woman up who nodded, "Please get somewhere safe."

The Sword Roidmude yelled out as it hunched forward, staring at Penny who turned towards it.

"Alright, it is time to save Earth!" Penny called out as she brought out the Kikai Miridewatch, "Henshin!"

[HAGANE NO BODY NI ATSUI NO HEART! KAMEN RIDER KIKAI!]

Kikai II stood across from the Sword Roidmude, the two staring each other down before charging for each other. The Roidmude swung its blades only for Kikai II to bat them away, going for a few direct punches against the Roidmude's chest.

Sword backed away, gathering energy in its blades before unleashing several slashes of energy towards Kikai II who was forced to back away. It kept up its assault, the mechanical Rider unleashing fireballs to counter but the Roidmude was not about to let up.

[GUN!]

A sudden burst of purple energy struck the Roidmude's side, sparks flying as it was sent rolling.

"Huh?" Kikai II lowered her arms to see what appeared to be a young man in a tight purple leather outfit, holding a gun-like weapon that resembled a parking brake/tekko. Something felt off however and she ran a scan before gasping, "Wait a minute… are you…?"

"I am Chase," the man introduced as he brought out a Mach Driver before attaching it to his waist, soon bringing out a Signal Bike before slotting it in, "Kamen Rider Chaser… Henshin!"

[SIGNAL BIKE! RIDER! CHASER!]

Chase gained a mechanical form similar to Chou DeadHeat Drive, though in purple and the head only barely resembling a Rider. This was Mashin Chaser, however this armoring was merely a shell that launched outwards and shattered.

Inside was a silver Rider with purple accents and a motorbike/racing theme, two small orange compound eyes shining through on the black faceplate. This was Kamen Rider Chaser.

"Let us fight together," Chaser glanced towards Kikai II before bringing out the gun-like weapon from before, the Break Gunner.

"It would be an honor," Kikai II nodded.

Sword let out a yell as it charged for Chaser only to suddenly slip, a patch of ice underneath its feet courtesy of Kikai II. Sparks flew from it as Chaser shot at it while it was down. The Roidmude managed to break the ice with its blades, getting up before unleashing more energy slashes to force the two Riders back.

Chaser didn't let up however, taking aim and shooting at Sword to distract it while Kikai II closed in. Kikai II charged up her punches with electricity, using her magic to boost the punches as she struck hard against the Roidmude.

Despite this, Sword managed to swing its arms out, forcing Kikai to stagger before kicking her back. It went to slash at her only for Chaser to suddenly get between the two with his back facing the Roidmude. Kikai II gasped but Chaser wasn't concerned, the tire that was attached to the back of his suit spinning rapidly and blocking the slashes. It spun so fast that it managed to force the Roidmude back after another swing.

[SHINGOU-AX!]

A purple flash occurred as Chaser brought out ax-like weapon shaped like a pedestrian crossing signal. The Rider held the large halberd with both hands as he swung it, breaking through Sword's defenses and forcing it back further.

"Let us finish this," Kikai II suggested.

"Right," Chaser said as he loaded his personal Signal Bike into the Shingou-Ax before pressing the button near the base of the weapon.

[HISSATSU!]

Kikai II was ready to move forward when the red light of the weapon lit up as Chaser stayed as still as could be.

[MATTEROYO!]

"Eh?" Kikai II paused at this, "We need to wait?"

Sword meanwhile growled out as it scraped its blades together, moving towards the two.

"If you could please," Chaser turned and held the Shingou-Ax out to Kikai II who politely took it from him. He then turned and aimed his Break Gunner.

[GUN!]

In an instant he had fired off purple energy blasts that struck and staggered the approaching Roidmude.

[ITTEIIYO!]

"Ah, it is ready," Kikai II said as she held the weapon outwards.

"Thank you," Chaser said as he took the weapon before marching towards the Sword Roidmude, purple electricity gathering as he slashed forward.

The Sword Roidmude quickly raised its arms in defense, its blades shattering as it was cut into by Chaser. It then gasped as Chaser switched stances, raising the Shingou-Ax up high before slamming it downwards.

[FULL THROTTLE!]

An explosion occurred as Chaser turned away and walked over towards Kikai II.

"It is a shame we do not have a Chaser Ridewatch," Kikai II admitted, "I am sure Ruby would have loved to use that ax."

"Ruby…" Chaser trailed as he looked at Kikai II, "As in Ruby Rose?"

"Yes, I am her friend," Kikai II nodded.

"I see," Chaser nodded, "I suppose in a sense I was able to pay her back then for giving me a second chance at life."

"Oh please, do not think like that," Kikai II held up her hands, "I am glad that Gou now has his friend back however."

"Friend," Chaser repeated before looking around, "It seems as though this area is clear."

"Surprisingly," Kikai II replied before hearing footsteps, getting in a defensive stance with Chaser as they looked around.

Running from around the corner was Faiz surprisingly enough, "Huh?"

"Oh, Takumi," Kikai II called out.

"Eh? Penny is that you?" Faiz asked as he began to walk over, "I didn't know you were a-"

CRASH!

A red burst of energy occurred as red energy launched everywhere, the wall near Faiz shattering as punch was sent his way. Faiz barely braced, the fist hitting his chest and unleashing another volatile burst of energy that sent him backwards with a yell, the Rider slamming through the wall of the building across from where he was.

Kikai II gasped, "Takumi!"

"So Gou and Shinnosuke were right…" Chaser trailed as the dust and smoke cleared quickly, revealing what exactly had ambushed Faiz.

It was a mechanical red muscular creature that held a heart motif, its body somewhat resembling the circulatory/muscular systems at points.

"What is that?" Kikai II asked as she backed up, unsure of why she had. But there was something about this enemy that was giving her a terrible feeling.

"Heart," Chaser said, "One of the Roidmude leaders, and someone who's data was stolen from Gou's lab a couple of months back."

"That was a boring Rider," Heart said as he turned towards the two, seemingly not recognizing Chaser at all, "You two look like you could put up a good fight. Show me that you Kamen Riders aren't all just talk."

"What do we do?" Kikai II asked in a low voice.

"Gou had a plan in mind in case something like this happened," Chaser said as he brought out a Shift Car that seemed to be a prototype of the Shift Speed that Shinnosuke would use. He quickly threw it behind him, the Shift Car launching away from the fight, "But we'll need to stall until he gets here."

"Very well," Kikai II nodded before she saw Chaser hand his Break Gunner to her, "Excuse me?"

"You do not have a weapon, please use mine," Chaser said.

"Thank you," Kikai II nodded.

"Will you two get my heart beating?" Heart asked as he began to approach the two Riders while gripping his chest, "Or will you be disappointing like the Rider I just dealt with?"

Zi-O was currently running through the streets, trying to see where he could help. While the grunts were definitely an issue, he knew there were higher ranking monsters mixed among them. He wanted to try and put his focus into those since they could deal the most damage depending on their abilities.

Of course that line of thinking was what jinxed him as a sudden impact happened in the street in front of him, smoke kicking up at a rapid pace.

"Huh?" Zi-O backed up as the smoke from said impact had started to fade.

"You know, I was disappointed to hear that little red riding hood wasn't here at the moment," a familiar voice called out before chuckling, "But I'd say you're the next best person, boy."

"Evolt…" Zi-O hissed out.

[READY, GO! FEVERFLOW!]

The smoke soon cleared enough for Zi-O to get a good look at Evolt, and there was already something immediately wrong with what was before him. Evolt was described as a slim red alien-like creature with a Driver. Before him was an alien-like creature with a Driver, but the coloration was entirely wrong.

Evolt had the coloration and patterning to that of Build Genius, and if that wasn't enough his forearms now had massive gauntlets alongside his body having large shoulder protrusions.

"Like it?" Evolt asked as he looked himself over, "This is my Ultimate Form... something I never expected to get again, but Narutaki's been helpful in that regard."

Zi-O wasn't exactly pleased by this situation, since he didn't want to drag either Geiz or Woz away for Trinity. But that only left him in Zi-O II as his strongest form. So he'd have to get a bit creative when it came to facing down Evolt, and he did so by bringing out the Decade Ridewatch.

[D-D-D-DECADE!]

Magenta energy began forming out from the Ridewatch, creating the Ride Heiseiber, the future King of Time grasping the weapon before aiming it forward as he pocketed the Decade Ridewatch.

"You know you kids are pretty arrogant," Evolt remarked as he began to walk towards Zi-O, slowly picking up his pace, "I mean I got it at first. You're able to go pretty far in terms of power… but now that I've got this power? I think it's time to start slaughtering, especially when you seem to be pretty handicapped."

Zi-O let out a low growl before charging towards Evolt, spinning the dial to the Heiseiber.

[BLADE! DUAL TIME BREAK!]

The Heiseiber shined a bright blue, the blade extending as electricity began to crackle with it. Zi-O leapt up and swung it downwards towards Evolt who punched at the blade, their impact causing a burst of energy to explode outwards.

Zi-O yelled out as he was thrown high into the air from the burst, Evolt following after him without missing a beat. He went to brace, watching as Evolt spun and swung outwards, the resulting hit sending him crashing downwards. The height and angle had sent him towards one of the piers, the Rider tumbling and skipping against the water like a rock before falling fully into it.

Evolt however was quick to follow, landing nearby before getting an idea when he saw a boat near him.

"Okay, not my best plan…" Zi-O gasped out as he went to float before quickly using his Future Sight. He could only pause for a second at what he had witnessed, as if questioning what happened next. He shook his head however and quickly raised his Heiseiber while turning the dial, needing to prepare the right Legend Rider power.

"Well I guess you could say this is bon voyage for the S.S. Plummet boy!" Evolt shouted as he flew towards the Rider, carrying a fairly large boat in his arms, "Ciao!"

"That really is a boat…" Zi-O trailed off before the boat slammed into him, both sinking downwards into the ocean, 'He actually threw an entire boat at me…' he thought before quickly snapping out of his shock and pressing the trigger of his weapon.

[WIZARD! DUAL TIME BREAK!]

A sudden tornado erupted from the water, catching Evolt off guard and causing him to step backwards as he had landed on the pier.

"Like that'll do me in!" Zi-O shouted as he ascended through the tornado, launching out of it and into the air, "Evolt!"

"Good, good…" Evolt chuckled as he began to walk forward before running and leaping towards Zi-O, "I was hoping you wouldn't croak that easily brat!"

"Keep going, keep going," a G3 called out as he ushered civilians away, quickly turning and slicing into a Salis Worm with the GS-03 Destroyer blade.

Another G3 took aim and unleashed a few grenades at a crowd of Soldier Ant Amazons via the GG-02 Salamander attachment to his handgun. Another G3 meanwhile launched out a wired hook via the GA-04 Antoures, managing to wrap it around a Bakeneko that was trying to chase after fleeing bystanders.

"Sir," the G3 with the Antoures called out, "It's all yours!"

[KAIJO SHIMASU!]

G3-X walked over to the G3, taking aim with the GX-05 Cerberus and unleashing a hailstorm of bullets against the Makamou. The creature could only howl out in pain as it was littered with bullets, its body smoking before exploding.

"Hell yeah," the G3 with the Salamander pumped his fist, unaware of the Ikajaguar Yummy leaping down from a high building towards him.

[ENGINE! JET!]

Suddenly several pointed bursts of energy shot towards the Yummy and slammed into it, sparks flying as Cell Medals fell, it falling to the ground.

"Pay attention to your surroundings," Accel said as he walked into view, lowering his Engine Blade.

"A-Ah…" the G3 turned and gave a nod to Accel, "Thank you sir."

[DRIVE TYPE WILD!]

Just as Ikajaguar managed to get up it was suddenly slammed into by a shoulder mounted tire. Drive had assumed his silver and black bulky armored heavy form, Type Wild.

Ikajaguar was sent stumbling back before spinning in place, unleashing squid bombs from its mouth that impacted against the ground and kicked up sparks and small explosions of ink. The various police Riders were forced to back away or stagger back from the assault… except for Drive.

The Rider had used his heavy form's stamina to tank through it as he leaned his right shoulder forward while swapping out Shift Cars.

[TIRE KOUKAN! RUMBLE DUMP!]

Soon enough a heavy yellow tire with a yellow drill attachment formed and latched onto Drive's shoulder, the drill attachment dismounting as he gripped it tightly in his left hand.

Ikajaguar rushed forward, swiping with its bladed hand only for Drive to lean forward with his right shoulder, the blade striking against the Rumble Dump tire… and doing nothing. Drive shoved the blade away before jabbing his drill into the Yummy's chest, destabilizing its body with the drill before pushing further and shoving it backwards.

Ikajaguar yelled out as it was sent rolling, getting up only for Drive to immediately charge towards it. The Yummy barely had a chance to fully get up, stabbing at Drive only for the Rider to stab with his drill, yellow energy spiraling as it broke through the Yummy's blade and pierced it.

[HISSATSU! FULL THROTTLE! DUMP!]

Accel, G3-X and the G3's watched as the Yummy exploded, Cell Medals being launched everywhere and scattering.

"Cleanup is going to be a mess," one G3 remarked to which the other two nodded.

Further away was Birth X bracing against several shots from the Gunman Roidmude with his Kani Arm attachment as he prepared his finisher. Energy gathered before he launched it towards the evolved Roidmude, it shooting at the blast only for its bullets to get deflected.

[KANI CORE BURST!]

Birth X lowered his arm as he watched the smoke clear with no sight of the Gunman Roidmude, at least until he heard shuffling from above. He turned and looked up only to watch as several Raydragoons dropped towards him only for them all to suddenly be sliced through, exploding mid-air.

[CLOCK OVER!]

Gatack appeared nearby in a landing stance, standing up before looking over, "Hey there."

"Hey," Birth X gave a wave before looking over at the squad of Police Riders who were currently going about their own business.

"Are you going to join them?" Gatack asked.

"There are a lot of them there," Birth X admitted as he began to walk off to find a new area to help out in, "Besides I may be an officer, but I'm not exactly a Police Rider."

"Fair enough," Gatack shrugged before hurrying off after him, "I guess I could say the same in that regard."

Todoroki and Kyoki were currently fighting their way through hordes of Formica Pedes, a few Inves mixed in with them.

"Hibiki sure picked a great time for out of country training!" Todoroki shouted as he sliced through a few of the enemy grunts with his blade.

"Then we'll just have to pick up the slack!" Kyoki shouted as he gathered fire in his drumsticks before unleashing them against the crowd.

It seemed to be going well, at least until a Bakegani crashed down between the two, forcing them to separate at the crowds of enemies closed in on them.

"Crap, these guys are getting involved?!" Kyoki questioned.

"Less complaining, and more fighting!" Todoroki shouted as he stabbed his Ongekiken into the back of an Inves while shoving it to the ground. He let out a grunt however when several Formica Pedes grabbed onto him from behind.

[YES! SPECIAL! UNDERSTAND?]

A thin black tail suddenly lashed out, striking the enemies around Todoroki alongside the ones grabbing him. The Oni Rider turned to see Kamen Rider Mage, though this Mage had green gemstones compared to Mayu's iteration.

"Hey, are you doing alright?" Green Mage asked as he hurried over.

"Huh?" Todoroki felt like the voice sounded familiar before nodding, "Yeah, thanks man."

"Huh?" Green Mage also felt like the voice sounded familiar but shook his head, "No problem, just here to help however I can."

"Well we could use it," Todoroki patted his new ally on the shoulder before turning towards the Bakegani which began striking wildly, taking out a few grunts while the Oni and Wizard Riders backed away.

Kyoki meanwhile was getting mobbed by Inves and Formica Pedes, grunting as he had lost his weapons when the Bakegani had landed and thus couldn't easily counter. The sounds of bullets firing rang through the air as the enemies around him all fell limp.

A few Inves began to move closer only to suddenly get sliced through as Zeronos came into view.

"Hey, no getting sloppy," Zeronos remarked as he rested his sword on his shoulder, "This city needs us to keep going, and you going down is going to mess things up."

"What did you say?" Kyoki questioned as he walked over to Zeronos, getting up in the Riders face, "Who do you think you are buddy?"

"I could ask the same," Zeronos said, getting up in Kyoki's face, the two pressing their foreheads against the other only for Deneb to quickly come between them and break them apart, "Deneb!"

"I'm sorry Yuuto, but we have other issues," Deneb said as he pointed at the Bakegani, "Remember?"

"Right, right," Zeronos turned the other way before glancing towards Kyoki, "Just don't fall behind."

"I should be telling you that newbie," Kyoki scoffed as he glanced around, finding his Ongekibou and quickly picking them up before charging for the Bakegani, "Let's go!"

"He seems like a nice guy," Deneb remarked.

"As if," Zeronos scowled beneath his mask before rushing after Kyoki.

[WOZGINGAFINALY! FINALY!]

Woz had entered his strongest form of GingaFinaly, using his energy bubbles to push away any approaching grunts while also holding them at bay for brief moments. He continued to move through the streets, unleashing gravity pulses to knock any approaching Combatmen backwards.

He was ready to move one direction when he heard a sudden set of screams alongside a series of explosions. He quickly turned and ran towards the source before pausing at the sight before him. He had made it to an area that had a preschool, the wall of it having been destroyed and exposing the teachers, assistants and children to the outside.

The culprit was a large blob-like monster with an enlarged right arm, it having wound up said arm to smash through the gate and building wall with little issue. It was the Alcohol Dopant, letting out some giggles as it waddled over towards the preschool, the singular eye on its bulbous head starting to shine brightly.

[HEY-YO! TAIYO! GINGATAIYO!]

Woz quickly swapped forms, the lettering on his helmet changing as he quickly brushed past the Alcohol Dopant, flinging his cape outwards to help draw its attention onto him.

"Please, cover your eyes," Woz requested as he suddenly held out his hand, a miniature sun forming between him and the Dopant as it shined brightly.

Everyone at the preschool gasped out as they covered their eyes, the light fading and all of them looking over only to stare in surprise as the Rider and Monster were no longer in the area. Or seemingly anywhere as a few kids and assistants noticed a shining light from above, some hurrying out into the open and looking up.

[FINALY BEYOND THE TIME!]

In a bright flash of light, Woz and the Alcohol Dopant appeared back to back while floating away from each other, the Dopant moving upwards while Woz fell downwards.

Woz held his hands close together, a shining ball of energy similar to the sun forming between his palms. He turned and threw it forward, the ball expanding in size as it moved closer and closer towards the Dopant.

The Alcohol Dopant turned and unleashed a beam from its eye, it clashing against the sun ball. Unfortunately it only stalled the finisher as the sun ball pushed further and further, undeterred by the beam of energy. The Alcohol Dopant shrieked as the sun ball struck against its body, the fiery energy exploding outwards and engulfing it in a raging inferno.

[BURNING SUN EXPLOSION!]

Woz continued to drop down, soon landing in a kneeling stance right outside the preschool. As he began to rise he released a soft gasp as the children hurried over and began admiring his suit. He looked down in surprise before watching as an assistant walked over and quickly grasped his hand with both of hers.

"Thank you," she said as she shook his hand thoroughly, "Thank you for protecting us."

"It was no issue," Woz said, admittedly taken aback by the praise he was receiving from everyone surrounding him, "I was only doing what I felt needed to be done."

"Come on, keep to the beat!" Poppy called out as she was in Beat Gamer Level X, utilizing the sound emitting from her form's speakers to force the various Combatmen in the area to dance.

[ZU KYUN!]

Soon enough several powerful sniper shots began piercing through multiple Combatmen at once. Once they were hit they screeched out as they fell before suddenly exploding.

[ZU PAN!]

Lazer quickly spun in while in Level 3 Chambara Gamer, kicking a Dustard away before slicing into a Gelnewt.

"Jeez," Lazer began to pant, "Actually doing this as a human again is a bit tiring."

"Are you going to be okay?" Poppy asked.

"If you need to take a break old man, go right ahead," Nico Snipe said casually as she took aim and shot through a couple of Rat Fangire, the monsters shattering after being pierced through. She lowered her weapon as she glanced back, "We can handle it."

"Hey now, don't count me out of this race just yet," Lazer called out, clearly offended by his ally's words, "Just have to also get used to this heavy armor since Level 0's a bit too risky as a human."

The three Riders however turned when they heard yelling, a large amount of Bugster Viruses charging towards them before flopping onto the ground and piling on each other. It didn't take long for the Viruses to start morphing, growing in size and forming a Golem-like Bugster Union.

"Whoa, whoa," Lazer called out, "Are they allowed to do that?"

"I think Kuroto had them do it one time," Poppy admitted.

"Of course he did," Lazer groaned.

[FINISH TIME! GENM!]

The three of them all perked up at the sudden announcement, purely because of the Rider that had been called out.

A familiar purple Continue warp pipe appeared above the Bugster Union, but it was Geiz in Genm Armor that dropped down from it. He kicked through the Union's right arm and severing it, the arm exploding and forcing it back. Geiz had vanished after that however, another warp pipe forming to the Bugster Union's side and kicking through its left arm. This severed the remaining arm in another explosive display, the Bugster Union stepping backwards before suddenly turning.

The pipe reappeared in front of its eyes, Geiz launching out and punching it between the eyes as purple energy exploded outwards from his fist.

[CRITICAL TIME BURST!]

The Bugster Union's face was engulfed by the energy, its body bubbling before exploding and disintegrating into pixels.

Geiz launched through the explosion, landing near the Riders of CR.

"Oh right, I forgot Geiz had that armor!" Poppy called out.

"Ah right," Lazer said, "There was that."

"Surprised you aren't going all out," Nico Snipe remarked.

"Figured I'd work my way up," Geiz said before hearing the sound of footsteps and turning to see a Needle Smash walking towards them. It was being accompanied by two Hard Guardians and Ganma Ultima, the group of fiving closing in at a rapid pace, "And there's my cue."

"Oh great, more," Lazer hissed out before noticing Geiz had stepped forward while holding out an arm, "Huh?"

"Leave them to me," Geiz said, swapping out Genm's Ridewatch for Revive, "I'll handle these guys."

"Alright then, we'll do just that," Poppy said before quickly hurrying off, Nico Snipe giving a small wave before following after with Lazer trailing behind.

"Now then," Geiz said as he initiated his transformation into Goretsu.

[RE-VI-I-VE GORETSU~! GORETSU!]

The Insect Ganma and Beetle Undead were both currently attacking anyone they could get their hands on. The Beetle Undead had pinned a man to a building by his neck while the Insect Ganma laughed as it stepped on a helpless male student.

In an instant the situation was changed, energy arrows striking the Insect Ganma. Sparks flew as it stepped back and away from the male student who screamed and ran off. The Beetle Undead meanwhile was grabbed by the back of its collar, being forced away from the man and turned around, its face meeting the Magma Knuckle courtesy of Yang.

Sparks flew as the Beetle Undead staggered away from her while holding its face.

Yang rolled her neck as she hopped back and forth while moving her shoulders around. She was in her new power armor, and was relishing the feeling of being able to deal some noticeable damage to a unique monster.

The Insect Ganma turned towards the fight only to turn back towards where it was shot.

Blake was soon seen leaping up before using Shadow to close the distance, slicing through the Ganma as a result. Blake glanced herself over once more, also in her power armor, surprised by how her speed and reflexes had been given a buff.

Yang wasted no time, rushing towards the stunned Beetle Undead, forcing its arms away from it before grabbing it by the collar and punching against its chest several times. Fiery bursts occurred as she quickly shoved it back, loading in the Rose Fullbottle.

The Beetle Undead yelled as it rushed forward, bringing out a sword and slamming it down only for Yang to sidestep the slash. Yang positioned herself right where an opening was, punching against the Undead with volcanic thorns erupting from the hit and wrapping around it.

[ROSE! VOLCANIC KNUCKLE!]

Blake meanwhile loaded in DoReMiFa Beat into her Gashacon Sparrow, the blades reverberating with musical waves as she dashed forward with Shadow again. Except this time she dashed towards the side just as the Insect Ganma kicked at its front.

Blake swung and struck against the Ganma several times, the shockwaves from her weapons pushing the monster back while staggering it. She then spun, soon performing a cross slash against the Ganma to send it stumbling onto its back.

[DOREMIFA CRITICAL FINISH!]

Both the Beetle Undead and Insect Ganma could only groan out as they fell limp before exploding.

Blake and Yang turned towards each other, giving a smile only to suddenly turn when they heard something land in front of them.

It was the Phantom, Sphinx, it giving a chuckle before thrusting its wand forward and unleashing a torrent of flames.

Weiss however landed between her friends and the flame, scanning a card on the Chalice Arrow before thrusting forward with Myrtenaster.

[REFLECT!]

Weiss unleashed a tornado via Wind Dust, it catching the fire and reversing it as the torrent of flames engulfed Sphinx, forcing it backwards.

The Phantom wasn't done yet, quickly dispersing the flames and raising its wand. Dark clouds formed above Weiss and began raining down fireballs against the ex-Heiress who braced.

Sphinx chuckled before it heard shimmering behind it, turning only to get struck in the chest. The Bossroach Summon had formed behind it, it swinging its sword and forcing the Phantom back even further. Sphinx quickly unleashed a torrent of fire against the Summon which simply raised its shield and marched through to block it, shoving the Phantom backwards once it closed in.

A sudden shout was heard as Sphinx suddenly gasped, Myrtenaster piercing through its back and out its chest, the weapon sparking with electricity due to Lightning Dust.

Weiss quickly removed her blade and spun away, Sphinx falling forward and exploding as Bossroach went to join her.

"Not bad," Yang said as she hurried over.

"Looks like these suits are really working out," Blake added.

"They are," Weiss agreed as she turned towards her friends.

"Huh…" Yang trailed as she looked at the Bossroach, "You know the monster I just dealt with looked kind of like that guy, but not really."

"Well of course, my Summons are one of a kind," Weiss said with a light huff as she dismissed her weapons, putting a proud hand on the Bossroach which bowed slightly at that before vanishing.

"So what should we do now?" Blake asked before her ears twitched several explosions going off in the distance all around them, "Think we should…"

"Split up?" Weiss asked before bringing out another Summoning Glyph, the Nevermore Summon beginning to rise out of it, "Yes."

"Then let's keep up the good fight," Yang suggested before quickly hurrying off, Blake following after.

"Right," Weiss said as she went to mount her Nevermore, it screeching before taking off.

Narutaki was currently inside the throne room of the Final-Shocker tower that stood within Tokyo. He sat in his seat, watching as various holographic screens projected mostly every major monster and General under his command that was out and about at the moment.

Of course as the battle progressed, more and more screens were cutting to static before vanishing. He was also noticing that the number of grunts and henchmen he had employed were also rapidly dropping.

"Well I had planned for this," Narutaki said before chuckling as he stood up, dark wisps surrounding him as he transformed into Another Decade, "The more you kill, the more gateways I open up, and the more gateways I open up the worse the stability of worlds get."

[DECADE!]

It didn't take long for him to raise his hand, numerous screens suddenly lighting back up as they showed various Aurora Curtains forming all around the city. The Aurora Curtains slid back to reveal more monstrous henchmen and grunts alongside several more unique monsters.

Of course there was one Aurora Curtain bigger than the rest, it reaching the heights of several taller buildings. It slid back to reveal King Dark, the massive Shocker weapon stepping forward while causing the ground to quake.

"Now then…" Another Decade lowered his hand as a screen opened up in front of him, showing Decade closing in on the tower's location, "Ah, it seems that I have a guest."

World of Tsukuyomi:

New Den-O rushed forward, shooting at the Briars with his Macheteddy, the bullets causing sparks to fly as he ducked forward. Aqua quickly leapt up and slid over him, unleashing a wide swinging kick as water gathered, the water launching out and slashing outwards as he managed to stagger and knock the two Grimm Riders into each other.

Before both Briars could even move they were suddenly frozen, the effects of time stop present on them.

[FINISH TIME! TIME JACK!]

Tsukuyomi shouted out as day turned to night briefly, a shining crescent moon behind her as spiraling gold energy erupted from her right leg. She kicked through the two Briars, the energy lashing out and causing an explosion as she slid past them.

Tsukuyomi slowly stood and turned, "Alright, that should have-"

[GRIMM RIDE: NIGHTMARE!]

The dual announcement caught the female Rider off guard as the two Briars dispersed the smoke from the explosions, revealing they were only scuffed up. They stomped their right feet onto the ground, it bubbling and forming vine-like tendrils that launched towards her.

"Crap!" Futaros shouted as he had a Combatman in a headlock, "Tsuki!"

"Dodge, now!" New Den-O shouted.

Aqua ran forward, "Move!"

[REMNANT TIME!]

Multiple purple threads began flying through the air, shimmering and catching the light at certain points which caused everyone to look up. The threads suddenly wrapped around the vine-like tendrils, entangling them.

Landing between Tsukuyomi and the Briars was Kamen Rider Roze, gold bursting off of her as she revealed her form of Roze Remnant to her friend and the other gathered Riders.

[LET'S GO! KAMEN RIDER~! ROZE REMNANT~!]

Tsukuyomi let out a light gasp, "R-Ruby…?"

"I know I said see you later, but even I'm thinking this might've been too soon," Roze chuckled a bit as she stood up, holding onto a short staff with a giant dreamcatcher at the top.

"Honestly you couldn't have come at a better time," Tsukuyomi said with a light laugh, clearly glad that her friend had arrived when she did.

"Guess I've got the heroic entrance down then," Roze said as she then summoned another weapon, a thermos.

"Um Ruby…" Tsukuyomi trailed.

"One sec…" Roze said as she struggled to keep the Dream Catcher's wires in place, "We do not need anyone getting hit by those tendrils…" she trailed before shifting the thermos in her hand, it revealing itself to be Oobleck's flamethrower staff, Antiquity's Roast. Fire erupted from the barrel as she reeled it inwards before swinging out.

Fireballs were launched out, striking the vine-like tendrils and scorching them entirely.

The Briars both growled out as they began to walk forward.

[GRIMM RIDE: BERINGEL!]

[GRIMM RIDE: DEATHSTALKER!]

One grew Beringel-like arms and fists over its forearms while the other formed Deathstalker pincers over its forearms.

"So, clearly I've missed a lot," Tsukuyomi said as she walked over to stand beside Roze, looking her friend over, "Nice new form."

"Thanks," Roze said as she dismissed her weapons, "And yeah, uh… that a lot happened right after you left actually."

"Considering I barely got here before things went to hell, I can only imagine," Tsukuyomi said as she prepared NobleTsukuyomi before initiating the transformation.

"I figured that Final-Shocker would want to target you," Roze explained as she glanced at her friend's transformation as it occurred, "And I wasn't about to leave you alone."

[NOBLE TIME! NINE HEARTS TOGETHER~! KAMEN~ RI~DER~ NOBLETSUKU~YOMI!]

"I appreciate it," Tsukuyomi said as she drew out her Zikan Girade Tsu in its sword mode, forming energy to extend its blade, "Let's show them why they shouldn't mess with either of us."

"Gladly," Roze said as she brought out the Repligirade.

The two female Riders charged for the Briars, both of the Grimm Riders charging forward. Roze took the lead, initiating her weapon's special finisher while Tsukuyomi charged her weapon's finisher with her base Ridewatch.

[FINISH TIME!]

[HAKAI CHARGE! HAKAISURU!]

Energy gathered within Roze's crystal blade, the Rider shouting out as she slashed forward and sent out a cyan burst of energy that cut through both Briars as they punched and jabbed forward. The result was their armaments being shattered in an instant.

Roze quickly knelt down, stabbing her sword into the ground while bowing forward and bracing. Tsukuyomi ran up, leaping onto Roze's back before jumping towards the two Briars while initiating one of her forms special abilities, tapping the Zi-O patch on her suit.

[ZI-O! KING'S BOOSTER!]

The charged energy blade already coating the Zikan Girade Tsu suddenly grew larger in size as energy erupted and poured out of it.

Tsukuyomi slashed at a downwards horizontal angle, slicing through the two Briars alongside carving a chunk of the ground up in the process. The two Grimm Riders paused as their chests and arms were filled with white shining slash marks that shined brighter before exploding outwards.

[TSUKUYOMI JIGOKU STRIKE!]

"Oh man," Roze said as she got giddy while getting up and hurrying over to Tsukuyomi, "I know you mentioned how it worked, but it's so cool seeing it in person!"

"Thanks," Tsukuyomi said, blushing a bit behind her helmet at the compliment before clearing her throat, "Your abilities in this new form are pretty good too, what is that sword? It looks like a Relic."

"It's a replica of the Relic of Destruction," Roze explained as she brandished the Repligirade, "Since this form allows me to call upon weapons from Remnant's history, this was a technicality that was included."

"I see," Tsukuyomi said before her head jolted up, soon walking past Roze, "I hope you're itching to test out that form though."

"Huh?" Roze turned before realizing what her friend was getting at.

A Final-Shocker Combatmen legion was marching towards their location. But it's what they were being led by that was the cause for concern. It was the 11 Dark Riders that Another Decade had summoned, the small army being led by Kamen Rider Eternal.

While Tsukuyomi, Aqua, and New Den-O were a bit concerned at how these Riders were amassed, Roze instantly knew that Another Decade was the contributing factor.

"Oh come on, seriously?!" Futaros called out, "What's with all the Dark Riders lately?!"

"Well if there was ever the time to push out new toys to their limits," Roze said as she brandished the Repligirade, "An army of Dark Riders sounds like the perfect chance."

"I'd be worried," Tsukuyomi admitted as she switched her weapon to its gun mode while aiming forward, "But considering you're here with that power, I'm a bit reassured."

"Glad to hear it," Roze chuckled.

"Should she really be here?" Aqua asked warily as he watched from a distance.

"We'll need all the help we can get," New Den-O shook his head, "Especially considering the alternative if we lose Tsukuyomi."

"Then let us keep fighting our hardest," Teddy spoke up through his sword form.

Earth – Tokyo, Early July 2019

The Final-Shocker Combatmen all shouted as they scrambled to try and run away, some attempting to move back inside of the main tower that was their home base. Of course, they were too late…

[FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-D-DECADE!]

Multiple rings of Final Form Ride Cards formed a tunnel at an angle, Decade still in Complete 20 shouting as he launched through the tunnel of cards. He kicked out and impacted against a Combatmen, slamming it into the ground and creating a massive explosion that engulfed more soldiers while blowing any lucky ones away.

"Alright," Decade said as he stood up, ready to step forward before he tilted his head, "Oh?"

An Aurora Curtain opened up in front of the doorway to Final-Shocker's tower, Another Decade walking out of it with his hands behind his back.

"Hello Decade," Another Decade said simply.

"You're such a show-off," Decade called out as he pointed towards Another Decade, "You really couldn't use the front door?"

"This coming from the man with a gaudy new Final Form," Another Decade sniped back, "Honestly, how full of yourself can you get?"

"It could've been a lot worse," Decade said as he spread his arms out as if gesturing towards himself, "Trust me."

"No matter," Another Decade shook his head before moving his arms towards his sides, "I've already called upon reinforcements."

"You say that but we still haven't gone all out yet," Decade said, though it was unclear if he was bluffing or not, "Trust me when I say we're still full of surprises."

"I am morbidly curious as to what you could be referring to," Another Decade said as he began to walk forward, "However I'd rather not receive any more losses."

"We'll see about that," Decade said as he walked forward as well, hoping to potentially nip the issue of his personal Another Rider in the bud before things got worse.

People were currently screaming and running away as King Dark towered above them, well that was except for two individuals. Watching the gigantic colossus of Final-Shocker approach were Emu Hojo and Parad, the two looking up.

"So," Parad spoke up, "You sure you're up for this?

"I've managed to heal up rather well," Emu admitted, "Plus, I'm not about to sit aside when there are so many people in danger."

"Of course," Parad nodded.

"Plus, it'll be a good challenge," Emu smirked as he held his fist out, "Right, partner?"

"Of course," Parad smirked back as he bumped his fist with Emu's, dispersing into red and blue particles that entered Emu's body.

"I will change this world's fate," Emu's eyes shined a bright red as he prepared his Gamer Driver alongside his Maximum Mighty X and Hyper Muteki Gashats, "Hyper Dai Henshin!"

[DOCKING! BAKKAN! MU~TE~KI~!]

A gold rimmed black screen showing a golden Ex-Aid with star themed armor launched out of the Gamer Driver, Emu performing an uppercut as it closed in on him to send it spinning above him. Digital energy began surrounding him as gold light shot downwards from the screen, latching onto his body and forming gold star themed armor, the screen sliding downwards and bursting apart.

[KAGAYAKE! RYUUSEI NO GOTOKU! OUGON NO SAIKYOU GAMER! HYPER MUTEKI EX-AI~D!]

Kamen Rider Ex-Aid had returned, now in his golden star emblazoned Final Form of Muteki Gamer. His multi-colored eyes shined brightly as his long tendril-like hair flowed thanks to the wind. He crouched down before launching up high into the sky.

King Dark wasn't concerned about the people below it, merely marching forward and swinging its arms to smash through buildings to send debris flying. Of course it couldn't ignore what came next, a gold light shining in the sky before it died down.

Floating downwards with his arms crossed was none other than Ex-Aid, the Rider staring down the surprised mechanical Final-Shocker colossus.

"I'll clear this…" Ex-Aid said as he lowered his arms before launching towards King Dark at high speeds, "With No Continues!"

To Be Continued…

Next Time:

"I didn't know you were in town."

"I'd say that term rightfully belongs to you."

"It's just Decade vs. Decade now."

"I do believe we need a new plan!"

"There's no way this can be happening."

Chapter 125: 2019: Never Ending War

Author's Note: What can I say about this chapter but uh…? Fanservice! Get ready for a couple more chapters structured like this because we're in full fanservice mode now for the end of this arc. Most importantly though, the community interaction from way back finally bears fruit as I make use of various monster suggestions alongside whichever monsters I choose to bring into the limelight. Of course that's not counting the various minor Rider cameos I've chosen to bring out for a scene or two alongside several major plot threads that will be happening amidst all the fanservice.

I'm not sure if I'll have much to say on these chapters so don't expect too much commentary. So with that said, thanks for reading and I'll see you next time.
