Eternal Gaiden 15: Father and Son United! Towards a Better Tomorrow
During the battle against the Earth Elemental explosions are seen before Hilda screams as her Ragna-Mail falls to the ground.
"Hilda!" Ange shouted in worry.
"I-I'm alright!" Hilda said as she was about to get back up, but her machine was entrapped by the dirt and rock from the ground as it hardens. "Dammit! Not me too!"
Vivian and Naga's machines were also trapped as a giant boulder was placed on Vivion's Razor while Naga's Soryugo was entrapped by giant hands made from the rock and dirt from the ground.
Ange grits her teeth as she glares at the Earth Elemental.
"Now you're the only one left. But since I am a merciful being, I might be willing to let you live, if you get on your knees and beg for my forgiveness." The Earth Elemental told her.
"No way in hell!" Ange shouted as she fired at the Earth Elemental with her Seiran but the Earth Elemental blocked it with a shield made out of rock and stone.
"Impudence." The Earth Elemental said as he brings forth several giant hands made out of rock and stone around him as he sends them at Ange.
Ange grits her teeth as she uses her rifle to shoot some of the hands to destroy and then uses her sword to cut others down, but eventually the surviving hands manage to grab onto Villains to restrain it.
"Dammit!" Ange growls as she struggles to break free.
"Ange!" Hilda said in worry.
"Oh no…" Vivian mutters in worry.
"Now...let your death serve as a reminder to those who would dare to defy us." The Earth Elemental said as he had the hands around Ange's Villkiss to crash her to death.
"Damn it!" Ange growls as she continues to break free from the Elemental's hold but then the screen in front of her begins to crack and her controls start to give off sparks.
Ange grits her teeth as the memories of Tusk, Van, Kyoya, Sei, and Sala appeared in her mind.
'Tusk...Van...Kyoya...Sei...Salako...I'm sorry.' Ange thought as the Earth Elemental was ready to fully crush her to death but…
"Ange!" A familiar voice shouted and Ange's widened as she recognized that voice.
Then Ange and everyone else saw Sala in her Enryugo flying towards Villkiss and used its armblade to slash the rock hands around the Ragna-mail to free Ange from the Elemental's hold as the hands broke in pieces.
"Salamandinay-sama!" Naga said in relief that she's here.
"She made it!" Vivian said with a smile.
"About damn time." Hilda said with a smirk.
As Villkiss was now free and it was now flying beside the Enryugo before Sala turned to it.
"Ange, are you alright?" Sala asked.
"Yeah, thanks for the assist. Though I was about to break free before you arrived." Ange said with a slight blush on her face and Sala chuckles.
"Didn't seem that way to me." Sala stated.
"While I'm glad you could make it…" Ange said with a smile before it changed to a worried look. "But what about…"
Sala smiles at her. "The cure worked, he pulled through."
Ange smiles to hear that. "About time. I was getting tired of him sleeping all day."
"So another vermin wants to be crushed as well." The Earth Elemental said as Ange and Sala turned to him. "Very well, then I will be happy to oblige you."
"Now, how about we kick this guy's ass and go back home to our families together." Ange told her and Sala nodded in agreement.
"Of course!" Sala said as both her and Ange charged at the Earth Elemental to battle him together.
In Skull, Salia, and Seiryuu's battle against the Fire Elemental explosions can be seen in the city. During the next explosion both Skull and Seiryuu were sent flying as they fell and rolled on the ground.
"Ken! Sei!" Salia said in worry before she saw a large fireball heading towards her and quickly used her Ragna-mail's teleportation ability to dodge it.
But the moment she reappeared, the Fire Elemental grabs onto the head of Salia's Ragna-mail with a large arm made out of flames.
"Damn you…!" Salia growled as she tried to break free.
"I know how much you love to fly in that little toy of yours. But vermin like need to know that their place is on the ground!" The Fire Elemental exclaimed as she threw Salia's Ragna-mail away as it smashed through several buildings before it finally crashed into the ground.
"Salia!" Skull said in worry as he and Seiryuu stood back up.
Fortunately Salia was still alive but had a broken shoulder and her forehead was bleeding.
"D-Don't worry, I'm still alive...but I have to leave the rest to you two…" Salia said as she lost consciousness.
"No…" Skull mutters before he growled and glares at the Fire Elemental. "You bitch!"
Skull soon brings out the Skull Magnum and fires at the Elemental but she avoids his shots as she changes into several balls of fire, and soon emerges and changes form behind Skull.
Skull turns around to fire at the Fire Elemental again but she grabs Skull by the head and quickly lifts him up as she struggles to break free from her head.
"Honestly, you're becoming an annoyance." The Fire Elemental said as she sets Skull's armor on fire, as he screams in pain before the Elemental throws in the air and fires several fireballs at him as they exploded when they made contact.
Skull then fell to the ground but was now wounded to stand back up as he was groaning.
"Ken!" Seiryuu said in worry before he noticed the Fire Elemental was looking at him.
"Now you're next." The Fire Elemental said.
Seiryuu was sweating underneath his armor as he remembered how the Elementals in his time had beaten him and how she and her comrades killed her friends. But Seiryuu hardens his resolve as he assumes his stance with his sword as he charges at the Fire Elemental as he flies above the ground.
Seiryuu clashed his sword against the Fire Elemental's own sword before the two clashed their swords several times before the Fire Elemental conjured a ball of fire in her free hand and was going to throw it in front of Seiryuu but he saw it in time to block it with a shield.
But when the explosion had died down, Seiryuu saw that the Fire Elemental was now gone.
"Sei! Behind you!" Skull shouted and Seiryuu turned around and saw the Fire Elemental behind him as she slashed him on the chest.
Seiryuu stumbles back before the Fire Elemental creates an explosion in front of the Rider from the future which sends Seiryuu flying before he falls and rolls on the ground.
Seiryuu was about to get back up but the Fire Elemental stops him by placing her foot on his chest.
"I'll admit you've put up a half-way decent fight. But you were still no match against me." The Fire Elemental said as she slowly raised her sword up.
"Sei...No…" Skull mutters as he struggles to stand back up.
Seiryuu struggles to remove the Elemental's foot off of him, but is too late as the Fire Elemental now has her sword over her head and holding it with both of her hands.
'Dammit...So I guess I wasn't able to change the future after all.' Seiryuu thought as the memories of his friends from the future flashed in his mind and the last one to appear was Alektra as he remembers her face and the kiss she gave him. 'Van...Katsumi...Maggie...Gecko...Vivian...Mei...Alektra...I'm sorry...'
Just as the Fire Elemental was about to swing her sword down at Seiryuu to finish him, a familiar white armored and cape figure jumps and kicks the Elemental on the chest forcing her to stumble away from Seiryuu as he lands beside him.
Both Seiryuu and Skulls look at the figure that saved the former, and to both their shock and relief it was Kamen Rider Eternal who saved his son.
"Tou-san…?" Seiryuu mutters.
"Kyoya...It's about time you showed up!" Skull said as Eternal turned to his friend.
"Yeah, sorry it took me a while." Eternal said before he looked at Seiryuu. "And Sei, I'm glad you were able to hold out for this. I'm proud of you son."
"Tou-san...Is it really you? Or am I dreaming right now?" Seiryuu asked and Eternal chuckles.
"That's funny. I asked a similar question to Sala when I woke up. But yes it's really me, and this is no dream." Eternal assured him as he offered his hand to his son and Seiryuu smiled under his helmet as he grabbed onto his father's hand as he helped him stand back, and father and son faced the Fire Elemental as they stood side-by-side.
"So you have another fool to stand in our way! What difference would that make?!" The Fire Elemental exclaimed.
"How about we show you, together!" Eternal said as he brought out his Eternal Edge and Seiryuu picked up his sword. "Let's go, Sei!"
"Hai! Tou-san!" Seiryuu said as both father and son charge at the Fire Elemental to battle against her.
During his battle against the Wind Elemental, Accel was on his knee and leaning on his Engine Blade for support as the said Elemental was standing in front of him.
Not only that, Kaname, Chris, and Rosalie's machines were seen lying on the ground as they were severely damaged.
"Hmph...so much for the advantage in numbers." The Wind Elemental said in a mocking tone as he walks to Accel.
"Dammit...Is this really the end…" Accel mutters as Kaname watches in worry.
"Hayate…" Kaname mutters before she receives a transmission and it was from Naga.
The Wind Elemental raised his spear and was going to swing it down at Accel but then…
"Hayate!" Both Accel and the Wind Elemental looked and saw Kaname was standing out of her machine as its cockpit was open. "Listen! It's Kyoya, he's alive! The cure worked!"
Accel was shocked to hear that as his eyes widened beneath his helmet along with his jaw dropping, while the Wind Elemental was confused what she meant by that.
"What is she jabbing on about?" He asked before he saw Accel had stood back up and threw a few quick punches and kicks on the Elemental which forced him to stumble back.
"Thanks, Kaname...In fact that's the motivation I needed right now." Accel said as he removed his Trial Memory. "After all...I can't let Kyoya take all the glory!"
Accel soon brought out his Accel Memory along with the Enhancing Adapter as he inserts the Adapter on his Memory.
ACCEL UPGRADE
Accel soon inserts the Accel Memory into his Driver.
BOOSTER
Accel changes into his Booster Form and then picks up his Engine Blade.
"Now...Let's shake it off!" Accel said as he flies at the Wind Elemental to attack him and the Elemental does the same as he flies at Accel.
Accel and the Wind Elemental clashed their weapons against each other several times, before the Wind Elemental pushed Accel back with a strong gust of wind and soon fires air shots at Accel and he dodges them before he charges at the Wind Elemental to slash him but he dodges his attack as he flies above Accel and was going to stab him on the back but Accel was able to spin and parry it in time before he kicks the Elemental away from him.
"You…!" The Wind Elemental growled at Accel.
"Now it's time to finish you!" Accel said as he brings and inserts the Engine Memory into the Maximum Drive Slot of his Engine Blade.
ENGINE: MAXIMUM DRIVE
As energy channels around his Engine Blade, Accel and the Wind Elemental charge at each other and clash their weapons against each other. The two of them were on even before Accel roared as the jet exhaust on his back grew larger and larger until he eventually broke through the Wind Elemental's spear and slashed his body in half as he cried out in pain as Accel landed on the ground with his back against the Elemental.
"Despair is your...goal." Accel said.
"No...How can this be!" The Wind Elemental shouted in denial as he exploded.
The Earth Elemental roars as he sends large rocks and boulders at Ange and Sala, but the two easily dodge and slashed through them as they continue to charge at the Elemental as they roared.
When they were closed enough, both Ange and Sala slashed both of the Earth Elemental's arms clean off as he roared in pain.
"Damn you! You vermin!" The Earth Elemental exclaimed as he soon places his cut off arms with new giant ones as he punches at Ange and Sala with them.
But they easily dodge his giant fists and cuts those arms off as the Elemental roars in pain once again.
"Dammit...How dare you damage my body!" The Earth Elemental said before he noticed that Ange and Sala were flying between him.
"Alright, Salako, you ready?!" Ange asked.
"Of course!" Sala said.
Ange and Sala soon begin to sing their respective songs, and soon their machines turn into their gold color as the shoulders open up as their space-time cannons begin to charge up.
The Earth Elemental was both confused and frightened about what's going on here.
"D-Don't think I'll be intimidated by something like this!" The Earth Elemental said as he created large rock shields on both sides to protect him.
But then Ange and Sala fired their cannons at the Earth Elemental, and they managed to break through his shields and when the waves of energy clashed between the Earth Elemental, entrapping him, he roared in pain as the attack from their space-time cannons began to tear his body apart.
"No! This cannot be!" The Earth Elemental shouted as he disintegrates into nothingness as there was nothing left of him.
Both Ange and Sala sighed in relief that it worked before they flew close to each other and did a high five in their victory against the Elemental.
As both Eternal and Seiryuu charged at the Fire Elemental, she soon created several balls of fire and sent them at both Riders to attack them. Both Eternal and Seiryuu dodged the fireballs as they moved closer to the Elemental.
The Fire Elemental growls before she charges at both Riders to attack them using her sword.
Eternal blocks her attack with his knife and Seiryuu uses that chance to slashed on the Elemental's chest, forcing her to stumble back and Eternal uses that chance to kick the Elemental on the chest.
The Fire Elemental growls before she increases the length and size of her fire sword to attack Eternal and Seiryuu with it.
But then Eternal and Seiryuu get ready, as the White Rider brings out his Ocean Memory as he inserts it into the Maximum Drive Slot on his Eternal Edge.
OCEAN: MAXIMUM DRIVE
Eternal soon channels a large blade of water around his knife, and Seiryuu channels electricity around his sword.
Then the Fire Elemental sends a fire slashed at both Riders with her sword, and Eternal counters by sending a water slashed from his knife at the Elemental's incoming attack and when the two energy slashes collided against each other it created an explosion made out of steam, which blinded the Elemental before she saw an energy slash from Seiryuu as broke the steam and landed upon the Fire Elemental as it sends her flying before she falls to the ground as sparks of electricity is seen appearing around her body.
"Damn you…" The Fire Elemental growls as she slowly stands back up.
"Let's finish, Sei, together!" Eternal told his son.
"Hai, Tou-san!" Seiryuu nodded.
Eternal soon took off his cape and brought out his Zone Memory and inserted it into the Maximum Drive Slot on his belt.
ZONE: MAXIMUM DRIVE
Eternal readies himself as all of his Gaia Memories appeared around them and inserted themselves into the Maximum Drive Slots around his body.
ACCEL BIRD CYCLONE DUMMY ETERNAL FANG GENE HEAT ICEAGE JOKER KEY LUNA METAL NASCA OCEAN PUPPETEER QUEEN ROCKET SKULL TRIGGER UNICORN VIOLENCE WEATHER XTREAME YESTERDAY ZONE
MAXIMUM DRIVE
Eternal now enters his Strengthening Armament Mode.
Eternal soon channels green flames around his foot and Seiryuu channels electricity around his own foot as well before both father and son jump into the air, and fly at the Fire Elemental to kick her.
The Fire Elemental roared as she wasn't going to let it end like this, as she created a large ball of fire in front of her and it soon made contact with both Eternal and Seiryuu's kicks as they were in even ground against each other.
Both Riders and the Fire Elemental roared as the latter manages to slightly pushed them back, before both Eternal and Seiryuu roared louder as they channel more energy around their kicks as they manage to break through the large fireball and kick through the Fire Elemental's body as both father and son lands behind her.
"No...How can I lose...to mere vermin!" The Fire Elemental shouted in denial as she exploded.
Both Eternal and Seiryuu look at the crater that the Fire Elemental had left behind as they sighed in relief.
"It's over...We did it." Eternal said.
"Yeah...We actually did. We've changed the future." Seiryuu said before he turned to Eternal. "Thank you...Tou-san, without I would've…"
Eternal stops him as he places his hand on his son's shoulder.
"No, Sei, it's me who should be thanking you." Eternal told his son, which confused him. "If it wasn't for you, I wouldn't be standing here today. So it was thanks to you we were able to win. I'm proud of you, son."
"Tou-san…" Seiryuu mutters before he bowed his head. "Thank you...It means so much for me to hear that. But I'm glad I was able to before…"
"Hmm…?" Eternal hummed and was about to ask what he means, but then…
"Kyoya!" Both Eternal and Seiryuu looked and saw Sala's Enryugo landing close to them before she quickly got out and ran up and hugged her husband.
"Sala?" Eternal said.
"You're alive, right? I'm not dreaming am I?" Sala asked, and Eternal hugs her back.
"No you're not. I'm alive and well, and this is no dream either, it's real." Eternal assured her and Sala smiles in relief.
"Thank goodness…" Sala mutters.
"So do you guys need a moment?" Both Eternal and Sala flinch before they see Ange and their friends join them as they were looking at them with a smile on their faces.
Accel and Skull were now back as Hayate and Ken as the latter was helping a wounded Salia stood up as he gave her support with Salia's arm on his shoulders.
"You guys…" Eternal mutters as he and Sala were a little embarrassed right now.
"Sorry, sorry…" Ken chuckles. "So...I guess this means we've changed the future."
"Yeah...but at a cost." Seiryuu told them which confused his friends and parents as they turned to him.
"What do you mean by that?" Eternal asked as he changed back into Kyoya before they all saw that Seiryuu was fading away.
Seiryuu then looks down at his Driver as it fades away first and the Rider from the future changes back into Sei. Future Sei then looks at his hands as they become transparent as he continues to fade away.
"So this is what they call the time paradox? I thought it would hurt, but it surprisingly feels so smoothing." Future Sei said.
"W-What do you mean?" Sala asked her son. "I thought we'd change the future."
Ken blinks in realization as it finally dawns on him. "Wait a minute...that's exactly it." The others turn to him.
"What are you saying?" Salia asked.
"Think about it. We've changed the future by defeating the Elementals before their power could reign ruined upon our world. And as a result the dark future where Sei comes from no longer exists, and by doing that…" Ken said before Future Sei finishes for him.
"It also changed my future, and thus as a result the Kamen Rider known as Seiryuu will no longer exist." Future Sei tells them which saddens Sala to hear that.
"No…" Sala mutters in sadness as Kyoya sadly looks at his son.
"Sei...You know this would happen, didn't you?" Kyoya asked and Future Sei nodded.
"Yes...I was aware of this fact the moment I arrived here. But don't feel too sad about it. Despite everything, I have no regrets. By changing my future, I also change yours, now I get to grow up with both of my parents." Future Sei told them with a smile.
"Don't you say that!" Sala shouted as she ran up and hugged her son, which surprised Future Sei.
"K-Kaa-san?" Future Sei said as Sala began to cry.
"Of course we'll be sad about this! We don't want to see you fade away like this, any parent would never want to see their own child off like this." Sala told her son from the future.
"Kaa-san…" Future Sei mutters.
"She's right." Kyoya said as he walked to Sala's side. "It doesn't matter what time period you're from, or what world you come from. It still doesn't change the fact that you're our son, so we'll be sad no matter what happens."
"Tou-san…" Future Sei mutters before tears begin to form on his eyes as he begins to cry himself as he hugs his mother. "I'm sorry...I thought this would be easy for us, but I guess it wasn't…"
"Of course it wouldn't you fool…" Sala mutters with a sad smile on her face and Kyoya then hugs both his wife and future son.
"But despite everything, I'm glad to see the kind of man you've become. I'm proud of you...son." Kyoya told him.
"Tou-san...thank you...But don't worry, you'll see me again. I mean you do have the baby me with you after all." Future Sei told them as he began to vanish starting with his legs as it reached up to his body. "But I'm glad too. I mean after all, I was able to see the kind of man my father is. I'm proud to be your son too."
Kyoya begins to cry to hear that. "You just had to say it…"
"Sorry...I wish you both well…" Future Sei said before he sets his eyes on Ken and Salia, the future parents of Alektra. "And you two, be sure to be good to each other and I hope you'll have a healthy baby."
Hearing that causes both Ken and Salia to blushed as they look at each other before they turn away from each other.
Shortly after that the time paradox caught up to Future Sei as he fades away in his parents' arms. Both Kyoya and Sala can only look up with tears in their eyes and with a smile on their faces the moment that happens.
"Goodbye, Sei…" Both Kyoya and Sala said at the same time, and their friends began to tear up over the vanishing of Future Sei and they promised to never forget him.
There you have it, I hope that you like it. Please review to tell me what you think.
