As things settled down and the Luchador Roidmude was finally defeated, a wave of relief and jubilation swept over the humans.

The students of Class 1-A, along with Mei, rushed to congratulate Melissa, now known as Kamen Rider Halo, for her pivotal role in the victory.

Izuku was among the first to reach her, his face beaming with admiration and gratitude.

"Melissa, you were amazing!" he exclaimed. "Kamen Rider Halo... You really saved us all!"

Mina, always enthusiastic, jumped around Melissa with excitement.

"That was so cool! You were like, 'Bam!' and he was like, 'Ahh!' You totally rocked it!"

Ochaco's voice echoed from somewhere in the crowd, full of cheer.

"You were amazing, Melissa! We couldn't have done it without you!"

Kaminari, grinning from ear to ear, chimed in,

"That transformation was epic! You're a real hero, Melissa!"

Eijiro, who had been visibly relieved at the end of the battle, looked up at Melissa with awe.

"You're so awesome, Kamen Rider Halo! I can't believe it!"

Tenya, offering a more composed but equally heartfelt sentiment, added,

"Your tactics and courage made all the difference, Melissa. Thank you."

Katsuki and Shoto, both known for their typically reserved and serious demeanors, also acknowledged Melissa's crucial role in their victory against the Luchador Roidmude.

The [Explosion] blonde, who seldom offered praise, looked at Melissa with a rare expression of respect.

"Not bad, Shield," he said, his voice gruff but sincere. "You really pulled it off as a Kamen Rider. I guess even Quirkless can fight when it counts."

His acknowledgment, though delivered in his usual brusque manner, was a significant sign of his recognition of the girl's bravery and contribution to their victory.

Shoto, standing nearby, gave Halo a nod of approval.

"Your actions today were essential," he said calmly. "You demonstrated not only strength but also the ability to lead in a crisis. Kamen Rider Halo... it's a title you've earned."

The rest of their classmates smiled at this, especially Izuku as it seemed that Kacchan was starting to slowly change.

'Now if only he and Yuuki-san could get along as well…' The greenette hopes for that to happen in the near future.

Mei, who had been instrumental in Melissa's transformation, beamed with pride.

"See, I told you the upgrades would work wonders! You were fantastic out there!"

The pinkette tells her new inventor friend, slapping the older girl in the back with a proud grin.

Surrounded by her new companions, Melissa, still adorned in her Kamen Rider armor, felt a deep sense of accomplishment and belonging. The battle had been tough, but it had brought them all closer together, and she had discovered a new strength within herself.

"But I had help in the end. I couldn't have done any of this alone." The masked girl responded, her voice filled with warm emotions. "We fought together, and we won together. Thank you, everyone."

As the celebrations and acknowledgments continued, Halo took a moment to address her sentient Shield Driver, Navi-chan(Kanade). With her peers looking on, she conveyed her thoughts and hopes for the future.

Turning towards the living device, the Quirkless girl spoke with a sense of deep partnership and gratitude.

"Navi-chan, Kanade, I hope this is just the beginning for us. I want to keep fighting alongside you as partners," she said earnestly. "What we achieved today, we did together, and I couldn't have done it without you."

Her voice was filled with respect and a shared sense of purpose. Melissa understood that her transformation into a Kamen Rider and the victory they had just achieved were not solely her own accomplishments; they were the result of a unique collaboration between her and the good-natured Roidmude who saw her potential.

Navi-chan responded, her voice emanating from the Driver with the same flirty yet supportive tone that had become familiar.

[Melissa, you can count on me! We're a team now, and I'm here for all your future battles. Let's keep driving forward together!]

Just like Dark Drive and Belt-san, the exchange between Halo and Navi-chan was a poignant reminder of the bond they had formed. It was a partnership that transcended the usual dynamics of the masked girl and the support AI, highlighting the potential for growth and mutual support.

The young heroes of Class 1-A, witnessing this interaction, smiled and nodded in approval. They recognized the strength that came from such partnerships and how they could change the dynamics of their battles.

Izuku, always appreciative of the different ways people could be heroes, commented,

'Their teamwork is really inspiring. It shows how we can all bring something unique to the fight.' He thinks fondly.

Melissa, as Kamen Rider Halo, and Roidmude 031, as Navi-chan, had become a formidable duo, symbolizing the power of innovation, collaboration, and the unwavering spirit of heroism.

Their quest together was just beginning, and the future held endless possibilities for what they could achieve as partners.

As they celebrated their victory, the heroes of Class 1-A, Kamen Rider Halo, Shinra and Mei shared a moment of unity and triumph.

They had overcome a formidable enemy and protected part of I-Island, proving that together, they were an unstoppable force.

The battle had not only tested their abilities but also strengthened their bonds and solidified their resolve to face any future challenges as a united front.

*Beep!* *Beep!*

However, the cheerful moment is short-lived as they receive a sudden call from Drive.

Shinra answers him, tapping the side of his helmet with his hand.

"Yuuki, what's going on? We just dealt with a Roidmude attack here in our area. Is everything okay on your end?"

The veteran Kamen Rider's voice came through the communication line, and there was a sense of urgency in his tone.

{Shinra, we've got trouble! The Roidmudes have taken Mr. Shield hostage. We need your help!}

Shinra's expression shifted, his focus sharpening. He turned to the others, relaying the critical information.

"Guys, we've got a serious problem. The Roidmudes have taken Mr. Shield hostage! Yuuki needs our help at the Central Tower. We need to move quickly!"

Under her mask, Melissa's eyes widened in shock and horror.

The color drained from her face, and her hands trembled slightly as the weight of the situation hit her.

"Dad... was taken hostage?" she muttered, her voice barely above a whisper.

The thought of her father in danger sent a chill down her spine, and for a moment, fear gripped her heart.

Navi-chan spoke up with a soothing tone.

[Melissa, we need to stay focused. We can still save him, but we must act quickly. Are you ready?]

The new Rider took a deep breath, her resolve firming up. She looked at her AI partner and nodded determinedly.

"Yes, we have to save him. Let's go."

Izuku's eyes widened, his sense of responsibility kicking in.

"Mr. Shield's in danger? We can't let the Roidmudes get away with this. Let's go, everyone!"

Katsuki clenched his fists, his determination clear.

"Damn Roidmudes think they can keep messing with us? They've got another thing coming!"

Shoto, his stoic demeanor unwavering, spoke with a sense of urgency.

"We can't waste any time. We need to act swiftly to ensure everyone's safety here."

Ochaco nodded, ready for action.

"We can't let them harm anyone else. Let's go and take back control of the situation!"

Mina, with her usual upbeat attitude, added,

"Those metal jerks won't know what hit them. Let's show them the power of Class 1-A!"

Denki crackled with electricity, a spark of determination in his eyes.

"We're going to put an end to this!"

Mineta, though hesitant, understood the gravity of the situation.

"I-I guess we have to step up. For Mr. Shield!"

"No. You guys are not coming."

Shinra, with a stern expression on his face, stepped forward, addressing the group with a firm resolve. The Class 1-A looked at him in disbelief, ready to protest against this order.

"Look, kids. I appreciate your willingness to help, but this situation has become even more dangerous now. Most of you are injured, and the rest won't be able to keep up with the speed we'll be moving. I can't risk your safety."

He looked specifically at the Class 1-A students, gauging their reactions.

"Izuku, you're the only one coming with us. The rest of you need to stay here, regroup, and ensure your own safety. We'll handle this, but I need you all in one piece when we come back."

The evolved android's decision, while pragmatic, left a mix of frustration and understanding among the students as they got badly injured from Luchador's blows. They exchanged glances, acknowledging the logic behind his words, but the desire to actively contribute in the face of danger lingered on their faces.

As the kids processed Shinra's decision, Mei seemed relatively content, giving a supportive nod.

"I guess I'll be waiting down here with the others. Don't worry, Melissa. The Allmobile's upgrades are completely safe. Best of luck to you and Kanade!"

"Right! Thanks, Mei." Halo nods in appreciation to her fellow inventor.

However, Katsuki and Shoto, not known for their patience, exchanged glances, their expressions revealing a mix of frustration and suspicion.

Katsuki crossed his arms, shooting a questioning look at Shinra.

"What's the deal? Why does Deku get special treatment? It's just because he's got [One For All]?"

Shoto, though not as vocal, echoed Katsuki's sentiment with a raised eyebrow, clearly dissatisfied with the decision. The simmering tension in the air hinted at the competitive nature among the Class 1-A students.

Shinra addressed Katsuki and Shoto with a serious look.

"The fact is that Izuku has suffered less damage than both of you. His body is stronger. This decision is final; we can't afford to risk anyone getting hurt further. And you both need to recover from the damage you've taken."

Izuku, feeling a sense of responsibility, added,

"Guys, I know you want to help, but we have to trust Shinra's judgment. You can do more good by supporting the civilians from here."

Katsuki scowled but begrudgingly accepted the logic,

"Fine, but you, All Might and the other extras better bring Shield back in one piece, Deku."

Shoto nodded in agreement, giving a warning look to the allied Roidmude.

"I understand. But don't let anything happen to Midoriya."

"I promise," Shinra assures the dual-colored boy.

With a determined nod, Halo, Shinra and Izuku prepared to leave.

Mei, still optimistic, chirped in,

"Don't worry, guys! We'll have a welcome-back party ready for you!"

As the trio(and Navi-chan) departed, the remaining Class 1-A students began brainstorming ways to contribute to the mission from their position, hoping for the safe return of Mr. Shield and their friends.

My Hero Academia Illegals: Vigilante Dark Drive

Drive 34: Two Heroes x Three Riders

---

I-Island - Central Tower, Corridors

The elevator groaned upwards, a metallic behemoth clawing its way through the sky. In its cramped confines stood Kamen Rider Drive - Type Fruits and All Might. Each carried the weight of unspoken dread, their gazes fixed on the closed double doors at the front.

They were currently heading towards the top of the tower.

During the fight in the Reception Hall, Another Drive Roidmude and Wolfram Roidmude managed to kidnap David discreetly while Drive and Toshinori were busy dealing with the other enemies on the scene.

The two villains and their hostage then flee to the highest point of the Central Tower.

The Quirkless man clenched his fists, with his Drive Driver humming around his waist.

The battle below had been a whirlwind of fists and roaring engines, but a gnawing unease had gnawed at him the moment they realized David was missing. Now, surrounded by the sterile silence of the elevator, that unease had morphed into a cold, focused rage.

"Those bastards," Drive growled, his voice tight with barely contained fury. "We were so close."

Toshinori, despite his own worry, placed a steadying hand on the younger man's shoulder. The once-imposing Hero looked older, weathered, even in his powered-up form. Yet, his eyes still held the unwavering spirit of a man who faced countless monsters with a smile.

"We're not done yet, Tomari," he said, his voice raspy but firm. "David is still alive, and we'll get him back. Let's just bring this fight to their doorstep."

[You two, get ready.] Belt-san warns them. [We're in for a rough welcome.]

*Ping!*

The elevator shuddered to a halt.

The doors hissed open, revealing a panoramic vista of I-Island bathed in the dying light of the night's moonlight.

But their breath caught not at the beauty, but at the sight that greeted them.

Several enemy Roidmudes were waiting form: Plain Types, Reaper Units and some disguised as heroes.

They all charged towards their human enemies.

But Drive didn't have the patience to deal with them.

"Out of the way!" The vigilante roared, crossing his dual weapons.

He quickly activated his samurai form's Special Finisher.

[Hissatsu! Full Throttle! Fruits!]

Type Fruits' Full Throttle finisher is the Full Speed Daidai Giri, where Drive is standing on a giant floating Orange fruit's slice, flying closer to his enemies and slashing them with the Daidaimaru on the Musou Saber, fusing the weapons into the Naginata Mode.

*Slash!* *Slash!*

The vigilante easily cuts apart all the Roidmudes stationed there with ease, killing them all in the process.

The blade cleaved through Plain Types, their basic bodies crumpling like discarded toys. Reaper Units, their blades mere echoes of the Daidaimaru, were swatted aside like pesky flies. Even the Roidmudes disguised as heroes met the same fate, their fake masks cracked, their false bravado melting away beneath the onslaught.

*Boom!* *Boom!*

Explosions rippled in the wake of his rampage, the remnants of destroyed Roidmudes raining down around him. Drive - Type Fruits landed with a heavy thud, the Orange Slice dissolving beneath his feet.

He stood amidst the carnage, breathing heavily, his armor still humming with residual power. His gaze then swept over the battlefield-turned area, a silent promise glinting in his eyes. No Roidmude would threaten this place, not while the masked man held his blade.

"Tomari-san! All Might!"

They get to see Kamen Rider Tracer and Plain Bat Type Roidmude 072 coming towards them, riding on the former's Ride Tracer. The friendly android was on the bike's sidecar.

"Yuriko! Shinji!" Drive calls, happy to see them as the Rider Machine stops before him and All Might. "I take it that things are done on your end?"

"Yeah! We finished repelling the Roidmudes that were trying to take over the Control Room." 072 explained. "They won't try anything so soon there again."

"Which leaves us now to wrap things up by taking care of the ones behind this whole mess." Tracer adds seriously.

"004 and Wolfram." Everyone says in understanding.

Just like in Shinra's case, the female Rider and the Plain Bat Roidmude were also told about David's kidnapping.

And speaking of the 025 Roidmude…

*Vrooom!*

"Guys!"

The group heard Shinra's voice, turning upwards in another direction as they saw the flying Allmobile slowly land before them.

While the sight of the Advanced Roidmude and Izuku in his hero costume was something they were already used to, they certainly couldn't hide the surprise of the third individual that came with them.

"Uncle Might! Everyone!" Halo says as she greets them, stepping out of the crimson vehicle.

The reunion brought a mix of emotions.

Toshinori's eyes widened as he saw the transformed Melissa, now known as Kamen Rider Halo. Her determination mirrored his own in many ways, a testament to the resilience of the human spirit.

"Melissa, you've become a Kamen Rider too?" Toshinori questioned, disbelief evident in his voice.

The girl grinned under the mask, her eyes reflecting a newfound strength.

"With Kanade's help, I've decided to fight alongside you all. Let's bring my dad back!" She says, gesturing to the Shield Driver around her waist.

The Symbol of Peace gave a look at the other members of the Drive Team.

"Did any of you know about this?" He all but demands from them, looking especially at Belt-san. "Krim? Did you have a hand in this?"

But before anyone could speak, Halo approached her uncle.

"Uncle Might, I know this must be surprising," The Quirkless girl began, her voice carrying the weight of her newfound resolve. "But I can't stand by while others are in danger. I've seen the strength and courage you and the other heroes have shown, and it inspired me to step up. I want to protect I-Island, just like you, Izuku and the others."

Navi-chan added:

[Melissa has chosen this path willingly, and I believe in her! We want to be a force for good, to stand alongside you and everyone else against the Roidmudes. She's not doing this out of recklessness but out of a genuine desire to make a difference. That's why I chose her! Because I saw the untapped potential inside her.]

Both of them quickly explained to the No. 01 Pro Hero of Japan about how they came to forge their new bond, leading to Melissa's own transformation as a Kamen Rider.

Izuku then stepped forward, his eyes reflecting a newfound understanding as he also wanted to support his fellow Quirkless.

"Melissa was amazing, All Might." Izuku exclaimed, with genuine excitement in his voice. "She was like Yuuki-san and Yuriko-san, and just like me before I inherited [One For All]. And now, she has found her own way to stand up against evil. It's inspiring. And she's strong. I believe in her now as well."

Toshinori listened attentively, his initial reluctance softening as he saw the determination and conviction in Melissa's eyes. The young girl, despite lacking a Quirk of her own, had found a way to contribute to the fight against evil.

Melissa looked at Izuku, appreciating the encouragement from a fellow aspiring hero. The Symbol of Peace observed the interaction, his thoughts echoing with a realization. He remembered the time when Shimura Nana, his predecessor and mentor, entrusted him with [One For All], and how that act of faith had shaped his life. Now, seeing a similar connection between Kanade and Melissa, he understood the parallel.

"Young Midoriya, you're right. You all are. Dave and I just wanted to protect Melissa…" Toshinori admitted, a reflective tone in his voice. "But I now remember how I gained my own abilities. And all because someone also believed in me and entrusted me with [One For All]. I can't deny that Melissa is indeed doing the same, finding her own path with Haibara's support. It would be hypocritical of me to doubt her determination now."

Toshinori, Izuku, and Melissa shared a silent understanding of the responsibility that came with their newfound powers, a testament to the enduring spirit of heroes in the face of challenges.

"Melissa," All Might finally spoke, a mixture of pride and concern in his voice. "Your decision is a brave one, and I will respect that. Just promise me you'll prioritize your safety and the safety of others. We're in this together."

Halo nodded, a grateful smile under her mask.

"I promise, Uncle Might. We'll do our best to bring my dad back and protect everyone in I-Island."

Halo then addresses Belt-san, looking at him without any hesitation.

"Professor Steinbelt." She says. "I have found my answer. I want to fight as a Kamen Rider from now on. Just like Mrs. Yuriko and Mr. Yuuki."

Hearing this, Belt-san expressed his approval of Melissa's transformation into Kamen Rider Halo. His voice carried a sense of pride and satisfaction as he addressed her.

[Well done, Melissa,] Belt-san commended, his tone warm and supportive. [I'm pleased to see that you've found your answer and embraced the path of a Kamen Rider. Together, we'll face the challenges ahead and protect those who need our help. Welcome to the team.]

The girl smiled, appreciating the encouragement from her father's mentor.

The connection between the Kamen Riders and their transformation devices went beyond the physical; it was a partnership built on trust, shared purpose, and the determination to confront evil.

"Thank you, Belt-san," Melissa replied, her gratitude evident. "I'm ready to fight alongside you and everyone else. Let's put an end to this."

Drive, Tracer, Shinra, and Roidmude 072 all gathered next around Halo, expressing their support and assurance in her abilities.

The oldest vigilante nodded with a determined expression.

"We're counting on you, kid. Your strength and resolve will be crucial in this fight. Let's work together to rescue your old man and kick 004's ass."

Tracer chimed in.

"Melissa, you've shown that you have what it takes to be a Kamen Rider. We're a team, and your skills will be an asset. If you ever need assistance, don't hesitate to ask."

Shinra joined the conversation.

"Halo, we're in this together. Your decision to become a Kamen Rider is a bold one, and we'll support you every step of the way."

Roidmude 072 added his thoughts as well.

"Melissa, your transformation is a welcome addition to our team. We're a united front against the Roidmudes, and I believe in your ability to make a difference."

As the group stood united, a sense of camaraderie and determination filled the air. They were ready to face whatever challenges awaited them, and Kamen Rider Halo had earned the trust and support of her newfound allies.

"Let's go, Navi." The new Rider speaks, placing a hand on her sentient Driver.

[Right, partner!]

---

The group arrived at the Vault Room where the Quirk Amplification Device was stored. The atmosphere was tense as they prepared to confront Another Drive and Wolfram Roidmudes, who had taken David hostage.

The massive door to the vault room creaked open, revealing the dimly lit chamber inside. The air was thick with anticipation as the group cautiously entered, ready for whatever awaited them.

[Be on your guard, everyone!] Belt-san's voice echoed in their ears. [We don't know what tricks they might have up their sleeves.]

And they found how Another Drive Roidmude sat casually on a seat, toying with the Quirk Amplification Device in his hands as the warriors entered the vault room. The sinister smirk on his face hinted at the satisfaction of successfully obtaining the dangerous device.

The infamous invention itself was a sophisticated headset, looking something akin to a crown.

"You're too late, heroes," Another Drive taunted, the Quirk Amplification Device glinting ominously. "I've already got what I came for. With this, the power of the Roidmudes will increase even further!"

Halo clenched her fists, her determination unwavering.

"You may have the device, but you won't succeed in your plans. We're here to stop you and save my father!"

The Executive casually gestured toward a corner of the room, revealing the captured forms of David and his former assistant Samuel. The two were bound and unable to move, the former's expression being a mix of unease and defiance while the latter's was a look of pure terror and dread.

Halo's eyes widened at the sight of her father in captivity, and her fists tightened even more.

"Dad!"

As David Shield's eyes scanned the room, his expression shifted from concern to shock and disbelief. When his gaze landed on Kamen Rider Halo, his eyes widened, and for a moment, time seemed to freeze. The crimson-armored figure standing before him was a sight he never expected to witness.

His astonishment deepened as he heard the familiar voice of his daughter, Melissa, coming from the helmeted hero. The realization hit him, and he couldn't contain his surprise.

"Melissa...!? Is that you…?"

The armored visage of Kamen Rider Halo turned to face him, and a slight nod accompanied a determined voice that resonated from within the helmet.

"Yeah, Dad. It's me!"

The scientist couldn't help but be taken aback. The Quirkless girl he had always sought to protect had transformed into a symbol of heroism on her own, standing tall in the face of danger. His daughter had become a Kamen Rider, and in that same moment, pride mixed with worry in the depths of his astonished eyes.

"I made my decision. I will handle my own fights from now on! Just watch, dad! I'll save you!"

'Melissa… Be careful…' David thinks, still concerned about how this will end.

But they could talk more once they finished dealing with their enemies…

All Might's face hardened as he glared at Another Drive.

"Release them immediately, or you'll face the consequences."

Another Drive chuckled once again, enjoying the heroes' desperation.

"Oh, I plan to release them, just not in the way you'd hope. Well, your father at least, Melissa. Once I'm done with you lot, David shall be on the front seat for the despair spectacle I fully plan to give the rest of I-Island. It'll be a show worth watching!"

Halo's resolve strengthened, and she exchanged a determined glance with Izuku and her Uncle Might.

"We won't let you get away with this. I'll save my father, no matter what it takes!"

Another Drive focuses now on Samuel.

"And suffice to say, I think I've won this little game, Mr. Abraham!"

"G-Give that back!" Samuel demanded as he hesitantly took a step forward in the vain hope of retrieving his prized target.

"I should have never made it in the first place-!" David laments as he glares at the dangerous device in the Executive's hands. "If only I didn't make that, maybe none of this fiasco would be happening tonight."

This only seemed to earn him a hateful glare from Samuel.

"I... I had to get back at you, David! We were supposed to get all kinds of accolades from the Quirk Amplification Device! Instead, all that time and effort into making it was wasted because you allowed it to be taken by our sponsors! And even though you agreed to my plan earlier, you backed out of it! I deserve something out of all this! So I went ahead with the original deal, but I hired real mercenaries, because what actor would fake an attack on a place like I-Island!? But then he had to come in and interfere-" The assistant ranted as he glared at both David and Another Drive.

*Zap!*

A malevolent aura surrounded Another Drive as he grew bored with Samuel's rant. Not letting the man finish talking, and without hesitation, the evil Roidmude aimed a deadly energy beam at the restrained man, unleashing a torrent of destructive force.

"Ahhhh!"

Samuel's anguished screams filled the room as his body disintegrated in a gruesome display of power., turning into a pile of ashes

The heroes, frozen in horror, witnessed the cruel fate that befell Samuel Abraham. David and Halo gasped, the shock and grief painted on their faces mirrored the severity of the situation.

Another Drive reveled in the chaos he had wrought, relishing the despair he had sown among those who dared to oppose him.

"An appropriate end for a vermin like him, don't you agree?" Another Drive casually asks the others, not paying a single glance at where Sam used to be.

The room was shrouded in an oppressive silence as the horrifying scene unfolded before them, impacting especially the Shields.

David and his daughter, bound and helpless, could only watch in sheer horror as Samuel met his gruesome end. The shock on their faces mirrored the profound grief that settled over the room as they were the closest to David's former assistant.

"No... Sam…!" Halo muttered, her voice strained.

"Dammit… Sam…!" David whispered, his voice filled with sorrow.

The new female Rider clenched her fists in anguish, her resolve tested by the brutal reality of the situation.

[Melissa…] Navi-chan looks at her Operator in concern.

And her father strained against his restraints, a mixture of grief and rage etched across his face. The anguish and despair were palpable in his eyes.

But their sad expressions only seemed to make their enemy further mock them.

"Pathetic. Mourning for the very man who betrayed you? Really? How sentimental." Another Drive sneers as he looks down at the Shields. "Did you not know the true nature of your 'loyal' assistant, David? Oh my. The betrayal runs deep in human nature, and yet, you weep for him? How amusing."

David lowered his head, not wanting to look at anyone.

"I may not have approved of Sam's recent actions, but I wanted to bring him back, to make him answer for his crimes. Killing him wasn't the solution! Despite what he did, I still saw him as my friend. And I still believed there was a chance for him to choose a different path. Now, all that's left is the weight of what he did."

"You may have taken someone important from us, but I won't let you get away with it! I will make you pay for what you've done, even if it costs me everything." A determined Halo says.

"Ah, the resolve of a hero. How touching. By all means, Melissa, try your best. Show me what you can do. But know that in the end, you'll only meet the same fate as your dear friend over there." Another Drive mocks the girl.

At this point, Drive finally steps in.

"Enough games. What's the Quirk Amplification Device supposed to do for the Roidmudes?" He questions, the tone assertive.

"Ah, the curiosity of a police detective. Well, part of it involves our process to safely enhance Quirks in humans with the use of our Neo Viral Cores. As for the rest... You'll find out eventually someday." The Executive answers cryptically.

"We won't let you get away with this! We'll defeat you and put an end to your twisted plans!" A determined Izuku declares, pulling out the Neo Spider Viral Core that Shinra gave him.

"Well said, Young Midoriya!" All Might says next, present the Neo Bat Viral Core that Roidmude 072 presented him with.

"Oh, the young hero with dreams of justice. Let's see if you can live up to those ideals, All Might's heir." Another Drive speaks, mocking the green-haired human. "But even if you take back the Quirk Amplification Device from me and destroy it, it will be all for naught. After all, I already completed my secondary mission tonight."

"What are you talking about?" Tracer demands.

"This."

*Flash!* *Blink!*

The Roidmude Executive transforms, showing them his human form.

However, instead of a copy of Krim, what the Drive Team and their allies saw was an evil doppelganger of David Shield, wearing the same dark clothes that 004 did after copying Krim's data in the past.

"*Gasp!* H-He… He copied dad!?" Halo exclaims in disbelief.

The ones most taken aback by this revelation were the young girl, her father, All Might and Belt-san.

The grave implications behind this act soon dawned on their heads.

"This means that this bastard now has both the intelligence of Belt-san and Mr. Shield combined into one single mind." Drive deduces grimly.

[This is worse than I expected.] Belt-san says, a dreadful emoticon appearing on the Drive Driver's LED display. [Who knows what kind of things a Roidmude that has both David and my knowledge will do.]

"..."

A disheartened David looks away in shame, as if feeling that part of this is his fault. He briefly remembers Another Drive scanning him and obtaining his data before his daughter and the others arrived at the Vault Room.

"Mr. Shield's knowledge will greatly serve His Majesty's plans in the near future." 'David' laughed maliciously before switching back to his monster form, the Executive was now using his voice rather than Krim's.

"Not if we have anything to say about this!" Izuku cries in defiance towards the Executive.

"C'mon, Izuku! I will lend you my strength." Shinra tells the greenette, placing a supporting hand on the boy's shoulder.

"Right, Tachibana-san!"

"Alright! Let's do our part as well, All Might!" 072 tells Toshinori. "Don't want to let your boy outshine you yet, right?"

The tall man snorts at this.

"Maybe. But not like I actually care about this sort of thing."

*Flash!* *Blink!*

Both Izuku and Toshinori fused with their respective partners, transforming the two users of [One For All] into Fusion Evolved Roidmudes.

Izuku's new form has a short green cape that reaches the upper part of his back. His crimson body has a green belt under the familiar chestplate that all Fusion Evolutions have. The body itself also has black elbow pads, dark knee pads, and white gloves, along with his signature red boots. His mouthpiece protection is metallic, diamond-shaped, and has eight holes.

The teen also possesses a helmet with long ear-like protrusions that resemble All Might's haircut. Interestingly, Izuku wearing the mask now casts shadows over his eyes, which causes only his green irises to be visible while the white sclera is now dark. This appearance feature is very similar to All Might's look, who has his blue eyes shine through the shadows.

This is the Deku Roidmude, a Fusion-Evolved form that unlocks the hidden potential within the depths of Izuku's heart (Imagine a crimson-colored version of Izuku's epsilon costume).

As for Toshinori, his new form resembles a crimson-colored armored mechanical version of his own hero costume (Imagine a crimson-colored version of Armored All Might's exosuit).

This is the All Might Roidmude.

Drive pulls out the Shift Speed Wild Technique Shift Car, preparing to use it to transform into Type Trinity.

"Yuriko, I want you and the others to deal with Woflram's Roidmude." He orders her. "Belt-san and I will take care of his imposter."

His partner simply nods in acceptance.

"Ok, Tomari-san!" She complies without question.

"Rargh!"

And speaking of said Fusion Evolved monster, the Wolfram Roidmude soon lands next to Another Drive, releasing a mighty before glaring at the ones that he would be fighting.

"Bring it on!" Halo declares, readying her fists.

*Boom!*

With an energy attack, Another Drive opens a hole in the Vault Room that leads to the outside.

"Come." He gestures to his opponent as he jumps from there, heading outside.

[After him, Yuuki!] Belt-san cries to his Operator.

Drive follows after their enemy, leaving the others behind.

---

[OverDrive! Type Trinity!]

While he and Another Drive were falling from the Central Tower, the human vigilante changed into his upgraded form.

The Executive Roidmude summons his Door-Ju and takes aim at the Kamen Rider, firing several energy bullets at OverDrive.

The Quirkless warrior summons his Blade Gunner and uses its Gun Mode to fire back at his opponent, with each of their shots nullifying the other's.

The two fighters exchanged powerful kicks and punches mid-air, each blow charged with the weight of their conflicting ideologies before creating some distance between them.

[Roll out, NexTridoron!]

*Vrooom!*

At Belt-san's command, the faithful black Rider Machine comes to its user's aid, with OverDrive landing on top of it as the Mercedes-like car flies away before the human crashes against the hard ground.

As for Another Drive, the same thing happens to him as the Another Tridoron comes to his rescue, softening his fall. The vehicle could also fly as it produced a giant set of mechanical wings similar to that of a Plain Bat Type's Roidmude Berserk Body.

Eventually, they leaped from their respective Rider Machines, landing in the center of a large fountain.

The electric fountain in front of the grand hotel became their arena, surrounded by statues of renowned Pro Heroes and colorful geysers erupting from the ground.

The two warriors landed with precision, their eyes locked in a fierce exchange of determination. The atmosphere crackled with energy as the electric fountain added a surreal backdrop to their confrontation. The gushing geysers and dynamic surroundings reflected the intensity of their battle, creating a visual spectacle against the night sky.

With each movement, the combatants left a trail of vibrant light and shadows, showcasing their agility and prowess. The sound of blows colliding and the hum of energy filled the air, echoing through the grandeur of I-Island. The local plants in vases around the area were not spared from the collateral damage, breaking under the impact of the powerful clashes.

Kamen Rider OverDrive showcased his impressive agility and combat finesse. With breakdance-like moves, he effortlessly flowed through a series of acrobatic spins, flips, and kicks, catching Another Drive off guard with the fluidity of his close-quarters combat.

As the Quirkless vigilante executed his breakdance-inspired maneuvers, the rhythmic and unpredictable nature of his attacks added an element of surprise to each strike. Another Drive, accustomed to more conventional combat styles, struggled to anticipate the Quirkless warrior's unorthodox movements.

The human's nimble footwork allowed him to evade attacks seamlessly, transitioning between defensive spins and offensive kicks.

*Bam!* *Crack!*

The sheer force and precision of his strikes left noticeable cracks on the ground beneath him. The concrete surface, initially solid and unyielding, bore the impact of his powerful kicks and spins, showing visible signs of stress.

The electric fountain's geysers added a dynamic visual flair to the exchange, their colorful displays harmonizing with the swift and intricate dance of combat.

As Another Drive unleashed potent energy attacks in an attempt to strike OverDrive, the Quirkless warrior showcased not only his combat skills but also his strategic agility. Evading the oncoming energy projectiles, OverDrive skillfully maneuvered around the electric fountain and the surrounding area, utilizing the environment to his advantage.

With nimble footwork and swift dodges, OverDrive weaved through the geysers and statues, employing the landscape as both a shield and a means to outmaneuver his Roidmude adversary. The vibrant display of the electric fountain added an extra layer of complexity to the battle, providing intermittent cover and creating opportunities for tactical evasions.

[Tire Koukan! Funky Spike!]

Belt-san announces as his Operator suddenly changes his Shift Tire, tapping into the abilities of Shift Funky Spike.

[Get him, Yuuki!]

With a burst of strength and determination, OverDrive closed the distance between him and Another Drive, seizing the opportunity to deliver a powerful and crushing bear hug. The spikes adorning OverDrive's torso, courtesy of the Funky Spike Shift Tire, pressed into the Roidmude Executive's form, causing visible damage and eliciting pained grunts.

"Ahhhhh!"

The embrace served a dual purpose, not only inflicting physical harm on the Executive but also restricting his movements. The spikes embedded in OverDrive's body acted as formidable weapons, their sharp edges digging into the mechanical frame of the Roidmude.

As the bearhug tightened, the battle momentarily shifted in OverDrive's favor. The spikes, now proving to be more than mere decorations, inflicted substantial damage on Another Drive's exterior. The clash between the Quirkless warrior and the Roidmude Executive intensified, with each passing moment adding to the toll exacted by OverDrive's relentless assault.

With a display of raw power, OverDrive forcefully hurled Another Drive through the air, aiming with precision to collide with one of the statues adorning the fountain area.

*Crash!*

The impact was explosive, as the Roidmude Executive crashed into the statue, shattering it into pieces. Debris scattered in all directions, marking the destruction wrought by the intense clash between the two powerful adversaries.

The remnants of the shattered statue littered the ground, serving as a visual testament to the force with which OverDrive had propelled Another Drive. The confrontation escalated, leaving visible marks on the environment and intensifying the battle's stakes.

[Let's end this, Yuuki!] Belt-san says.

"Right!" The Operator agrees.

The vigilante was about to finish his mechanical foe, ready to blast him away with a shot of the Trailer-Hou after summoning the blue-colored weapon.

"Hehehehe…"

But suddenly, the Rider hears a sinister chuckle coming from Another Drive.

"Are you sure about that?" The evil android asks OverDrive tauntingly, slowly turning around to face his Quirkless foe while still lying down on the ground. "Destroy me and you will kill everyone here at I-Island."

The vigilante narrows his eyes over the threat.

"What are you talking about?"

"Surely you haven't forgotten already about the bomb announcement from before, have you?" The Roidmude asks rhetorically. "Heh. Speaking of it, I actually took some inspiration from my previous life."

Both OverDrive and Belt-san became alarmed at this.

[You turned yourself into a bomb again!?] The sentient Driver asks, remembering about 004's self-destruct original demise back in his original world.

"Close, Krim. The bomb has been planted inside someone else."

A chill ran down across the vigilante's spine.

"Wolfram." A wide-eyed OverDrive realizes before glaring at the Executive. "You turned him into a bomb!?"

"It's a dead man's switch." Another Drive warns, smiling maniacally at the armored human. "You can still kill me if you think I'm bluffing. I dare you, Kamen Rider."

"Grrr… Damn you…!" The Quirkless cop curses their enemy.

[Yuuki! We have to warn the others! We don't have time for this! Go, now!] A worried Belt-san instructs his partner.

*Boom!*

Suddenly, they heard a large explosion coming from the direction where the others were fighting the Wolfram Roidmude.

'Yuriko…!' OverDrive thinks, concerned about his partner's well-being.

It seemed that the others were struggling to defeat the Fusion Evolved Roidmude in question.

And even if they did come to beat Wolfram, without realizing what's inside their enemy…

"Are you sure you can keep wasting time here with me? Your friends might need your help." Another Drive reminds them. "Or maybe… It's already too late! Hahaha!"

The battle against the Executive would have to be deferred, as the immediate threat demanded their full attention and swift action.

"Come, NexTridoron!" OverDrive calls his Rider Machine.

*Vrooommm!*

The black car comes to its user, stopping in front of him.

The Kamen Rider jumps and stays on top of the Mercedes-like Rider Machine as it flies away, heading towards the other battle's direction.

"..."

Now left alone, Another Drive kept chuckling as he slowly stood up. Being too damaged after receiving all those blows from the human Kamen Rider, he knew that it was best for him to retreat for tonight and repair his systems.

'My business here is done anyway. Goodbye.' The Executive thinks, opening a portal to take him away from the ruined I-Island.

---

"Get ready, everyone!"

Tracer warns her comrades as they all charge towards the Wolfram Roidmude.

Earlier, the mechanical monster ran away from the Vault Room, leading the group to the roof of the Central Tower.

"Rargh!"

The crimson Fusion Evolved foe roared ferociously before gathering metal around him.

*Bam!*

The air crackled with magnetic energy as Wolfram unleashed his powers upon the approaching heroes. Pieces of metal were ripped from their surroundings, forming deadly projectiles hurled with precision towards Tracer, Halo, Deku, and All Might.

"Scatter!" Tracer shouted, leading the way as the group swiftly dodged and weaved between the magnetic onslaught.

The sound of metal clashing against the rooftop echoed in the tense atmosphere.

As the heroes evaded the metallic barrage, Wolfram took advantage of the chaos and unleashed a deadly laser from his mouth. The searing beam cut through the air with lethal intent, narrowly missing the agile defenders. Each one of the humans demonstrated their quick reflexes, barely avoiding the destructive force of the laser.

"Hey, how come we're not getting pulled in by Wolfram's magnetism?" Deku asked the others, his eyes wide as he dodged a piece of flying debris.

Considering their current situation, all four humans were wearing metal around their bodies. So why wasn't their enemy able to exploit that obvious weakness?

"Hmm, good question." Halo mused, her eyes scanning the battlefield. "Navi-chan, any ideas?"

Navi-chan's voice chimed in from the Shield Driver.

[Oh, that's all thanks to the special [Data Coating] Krim applied! Not only to stop Gold Drive from stealing our gear, it also protects you from the effects of magnetism, allowing you to move freely even in the presence of someone that can manipulate the magnetic field.] The new sentient Driver explained to the humans.

"The [Data Coating] again, huh?" All Might said, impressed. "Krim really thought of everything, it seems. Good to know we're not at a disadvantage here!"

Truly, the scientist took into consideration that they could always end up fighting an enemy capable of using [Magnetism]. It was truly fortunate for Krim and the Original Drive that they never had to deal with such a troublesome opponent back in his homeworld…

But this ended up happening tonight in the new world.

Tracer grinned underneath her mask.

"Well then, let's use that advantage and take Wolfram down! We can't let him harm anyone else on I-Island!"

The team, now reassured of their immunity to Wolfram's magnetism, pressed on with renewed determination, ready to face the Fusion Evolved Roidmude head-on.

Their adversary fires another energy beam at the group, but Tracer comes to intercept it.

"Safety Protect!"

With the cop Rider holding up the blue-colored energy riot shield, Halo, Deku, and All Might seized the opportunity to launch a coordinated counter-attack.

Halo, her Shield Driver humming with energy, charged towards Wolfram.

"Let's see how you handle this!" She unleashed a series of precise strikes, her combat skills enhanced by her newfound Kamen Rider abilities. "Rider Punch!"

Deku, fueled by [One For All] and his new fusion form, leaped into the air, his fists crackling with green and red energy.

"Smash Punch!"

He brought his powerful punches down on Wolfram, aiming for critical points to maximize the impact.

All Might, the Symbol of Peace, joined the fray with his own resounding blow.

"Texas Smash!"

His mighty blow created shockwaves that reverberated through the area, adding to the assault on the Fusion Evolved Roidmude.

*Pow!* *Pow!* *Bam!* *Bam!*

"Urgh!"

Despite Wolfram's durability, the combined onslaught from the powerful CQC techniques inflicted substantial damage. The Fusion Evolved Roidmude staggered backward, momentarily disrupted by the relentless assault.

And as the battle continued, Izuku and All Might, having fused with Roidmudes 025 and 072, could feel a remarkable change in their abilities. The usual limitations imposed by their Quirks seemed to have vanished, replaced by a newfound synergy with their respective Roidmude partners.

Izuku couldn't help but express his amazement.

"All Might, I can feel the power flowing through me without anything holding me back. It's like I could finally use 100% of [One For All] without fear of getting injured by my Quirk."

All Might nodded, acknowledging the same sensation,

"Indeed, Young Midoriya. It seems the fusion has granted us a more harmonious connection with our Roidmude partners. I feel like my own time limit is now gone and my original strength is back."

Tracer chimed in.

"This fusion wasn't just about enhancing your powers but optimizing the compatibility between people with Quirks and Roidmudes. You're experiencing the true power within your heart."

[I'm glad to see you two are not having problems with us lending you guys a hand.] A voice came from Deku's chest, the faceplate briefly changing to show the number 025.

[Go for it, you guys!] The Same happens with All Might, with the number 072 showing up.

Embracing their enhanced capabilities, Izuku and All Might prepared to face Wolfram with renewed confidence, eager to push their limits in the fight against the Fusion Evolved Roidmude.

"Everyone, let's take him down!" Tracer announces as the others agree with her.

However…

"Stop!"

As the group prepared to finish off Wolfram Roidmude, Kamen Rider OverDrive suddenly arrived, jumping from a flying NexTridon as he lands in front of the others, halting their actions with a stern warning.

"Don't kill him yet!" He warned the others.

"What!? Why, Yuuki-san!?" Deku questions the Kamen Rider.

The vigilante urgently informed them about the bomb implanted inside Wolfram, cautioning against delivering a fatal blow that could trigger a catastrophic explosion.

"Wolfram is the bomb! If you destroy him, it'll set off a chain reaction, putting everyone within I-Island in danger!" OverDrive's voice echoed through the chaotic battlefield.

"You have to be kidding…" Tracer muttered.

She, Halo, Deku, and All Might froze in their tracks, their arms poised but hesitating. The urgency in OverDrive's tone left no room for doubt. The situation became even more dire as the timer on Wolfram's dead man's switch ticked away.

"Damn it! What do we do now?" The female cop voiced the collective concern, her energy riot shield dissipating as they now faced this unexpected dilemma.

OverDrive stepped forward, his visor reflecting determination.

"We need to first find a way to neutralize the bomb without badly harming Wolfram. If we can disable it, we might have a chance."

The heroes, now joined by OverDrive, faced a race against time, compelled to devise a strategy that would spare Wolfram's life while ensuring the safety of everyone at I-Island. The tense atmosphere hung in the air as they collectively contemplated their next move.

"Rargh! Enough of this!"

The Wolfram Roidmude, fueled by fury, roared defiantly as he stood up, his mechanical form recuperating from the onslaught of attacks. The heroes, now aware of the bomb within him, braced themselves for the impending threat.

The Fusion Evolved Roidmude decides to taunt them, reveling in the desperation that now grips their hearts.

"You think you can stop me? Pathetic humans and their feeble attempts," The Roidmude sneered, his voice laced with arrogance. "But let me spice things up a bit. Behold!"

With a sinister flourish, the mechanical monster revealed the ominous bomb implanted within him. The countdown timer displayed a chilling 10 minutes, each second ticking away like a grim reminder of the impending danger.

The humans exchanged worried glances, the weight of the situation sinking in.

"Ten minutes until this entire island goes up in flames. Enjoy the show, humans!" Wolfram's mocking laughter echoed through the area, intensifying the urgency of the moment. "Let's go together to hell! Hahaha!"

*Click!*

10:00:00

09:59:99

09:58:54

09:57:15

As the heroes faced this grim challenge, the countdown became a relentless reminder of the limited time they had to find a solution.

The bomb's ominous presence added a layer of tension, pushing them to act swiftly and strategically to prevent a catastrophe.

Wolfram, fueled by his newfound powers, gathered an immense amount of metal from all across I-Island, shaping it into a colossal form that towered over the Central Tower. The Fusion Evolved Roidmude's monstrous silhouette sent shivers through many people who managed to witness that, realizing the gravity of the situation.

"Rargh!"

With a resounding roar, Wolfram's enlarged metallic body became a formidable force, drawing in metal from all over I-Island. Buildings, vehicles, and any metal objects within his reach were drawn into his monstrous form, amplifying his size and power to unprecedented levels.

The Drive Team and their allies looked up, their faces etched with concern, as Wolfram's monstrous transformation unfolded before them. The cityscape around them became a part of the colossal mechanical creature, emphasizing the dire consequences of their enemy's actions.

"Get ready, everyone! We need to find a way to stop this before it's too late!" Tracer shouted, her voice determined despite the overwhelming odds they faced.

The battle against Wolfram had escalated to a new level, with the humans now confronting a gargantuan metallic monster that threatened to consume the entire I-Island in its destructive path.

And as the colossal metallic form of Wolfram unfolded, a wave of horror swept through the inhabitants of I-Island. The once lively and vibrant atmosphere turned tense, and panic spread among the people witnessing the unfolding disaster. People were now trying to leave the island.

Halo, Deku, and the other inhabitants of I-Island gazed in shock and fear as Wolfram's monstrous transformation engulfed the surroundings. The sheer scale of the mechanical creature and the ominous presence it exuded left them paralyzed with dread.

---

From their spot, the same reaction could be seen coming from the kids of Class 1-A.

"Midoriya…" Tenya, Shoto and the others looked in horror.

"Deku-kun…" A worried Ochaco closed her eyes and brought her hands together, wishing for the well-being of her friend.

"Deku…!" Katsuki gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, cursing his own inability to contribute more in the battle. 'You better come back! You hear me!?'

Izuku's classmates all began to hope, each in their own way, that the greenette boy and the others managed to beat Wolfram, praying for their success.

---

Amidst the horrified reactions, only OverDrive, Tracer, and All Might stood defiant, their resolve unwavering. The veteran warriors maintained their focus, ready to face the colossal threat head-on. Their expressions, though stern, radiated determination to protect the island and its inhabitants.

The contrast between the terror-stricken onlookers and the resolute heroes created a tense atmosphere, setting the stage for a climactic battle against the Fusion Evolved Roidmude and the impending catastrophe it posed for I-Island.

In the midst of the chaos, the heroes now gathered to discuss the perilous situation.

"Listen up, everyone!" OverDrive commanded, his voice resolute as he showed a black and green Shift Car to his companions. "We can't waste any time! While Wolfram is distracted, we need to use Shift Next Builder to hack into the bomb and disarm it. But I need all of you to keep him busy and away from me."

Tracer nodded in agreement, her energy riot shield at the ready.

"I'll act as a shield and draw his attention. Melissa, Izuku-kun, All Might, we need your powers to keep him occupied. We can't afford any slip-ups!"

Halo clenched her fists inside her armored gauntlets, determination in her eyes.

"I'm ready. We have to do this to save everyone on I-Island!"

[Go for it, Melissa!] Navi-chan shows support to her Operator.

Deku, fueled by the newfound strength from his fusion with Roidmude 025, flexed his muscles.

"I won't let this bomb go off. We'll stop Wolfram together!"

[You bet, kid! Time to kick ass!] 025's voice came from his chestplate.

All Might, despite his weakened state, stood tall.

"I'll do my best to hold him off! Move swiftly, heroes!"

[Never give up! Don't lose hope!] 072 could be heard next.

Amidst the dire situation, a tense discussion unfolded among the heroes. OverDrive, contemplating the risk involved, reconsidered the plan. He turned to Halo, realizing her newfound unique abilities could be the key to disarming the bomb.

"Melissa, I want you to be the one to disarm the bomb!" OverDrive declared, his tone serious as the others looked at him in shock.

As if to further explain things, Belt-san speaks next.

[Your fusion with Kanade gave you a unique Skill that further evolved your technological prowess. Use your abilities to wirelessly hack into the bomb and shut it down. Yuriko, Izuku, Toshinori, Yuuki, your job is to protect Melissa and buy her the time she needs. We can't afford any mistakes!]

"Right!" Everyone cries in unison.

Halo nodded, a sense of responsibility settling over her.

"I'll do it. I won't let I-Island be destroyed! This time, I will protect everyone!"

Tracer raised her energy riot shield, determination etched on her face.

"We've got your back, Melissa. Let's keep Wolfram distracted while you work your magic!"

Deku, fueled by newfound strength, clenched his fists.

"I won't let anything happen to you, Melissa! We'll make sure Wolfram doesn't get near."

All Might stood tall.

"Melissa, you have our trust! We'll do whatever it takes to protect you and I-Island."

OverDrive, placing a reassuring hand on Halo's armored shoulder, looked at her with unwavering determination.

"Kid, you've proven yourself as a Kamen Rider, and now, I believe in your ability to handle this critical task. We're a team, and together, we'll protect I-Island. Trust in your instincts, and let's make sure this threat is stopped. You've got the strength to do it. Now, just believe in yourself and move forward."

His words resonated with a sense of trust and camaraderie, echoing the unity of the group in the face of adversity. With a nod, Halo felt a surge of determination, ready to take on the challenge and safeguard I-Island. The heroes stood united, each playing their crucial role in this high-stakes confrontation against Wolfram and the looming threat of the bomb.

The masked girl simply looks at her comrades, now feeling a bit more confident.

"Let's do it!" She cries, raising her fist.

However, their adversary would make things even harder for them…

"Heh! How touching to see you all united like this." The Roidmude mocks them with a sneer. "I wonder how long it will take before I break you all."

*Cabrum!*

The sky above I-Island darkened as Wolfram unleashed his magnetic storm, a swirling tempest of destructive energy. Lightning crackled within the tumultuous clouds, and with a malevolent intent, he directed the lightning bolts toward his enemies, the heroes and the innocent people below.

---

*Cabrum!*

The bolts struck with fury, wreaking havoc on the island's infrastructure. Buildings crumbled under the onslaught, and the people scattered in fear. The remaining Pro Heroes, caught in the midst of the magnetic storm, struggled to withstand the relentless assault of lightning. Their surroundings were transformed into a battlefield of chaos and destruction.

The Class 1-A also had to start running away from their position in order to avoid being hit by the dangerous lightning.

---

Soon, the group could hear screams of terror coming from all over I-Island as lightning was striking down everywhere...

*Cabrum!*

Lightning begins to fall on the heroes. One bolt was about to hit Halo before being suddenly redirected elsewhere.

*Zap!*

[Shift Car! Tire Koukan! Biribiri!] The Mach Driver announced.

Tracer's quick thinking and resourcefulness came to the forefront as she tapped into the power of Shift Volt Charger, inserting it into her Driver. With a swift move, she transformed her Pat Megabo into a makeshift lightning rod, drawing the deadly bolts away from Halo and redirecting them harmlessly elsewhere.

The lightning crackled and danced around the rooftop, absorbed by its conductive structure. Halo, along with the other fighters, looked on with gratitude as Tracer's ingenuity spared them from the imminent danger.

As the ominous timer ticked down, Halo focused her attention on the delicate task at hand.

[Tire Koukan! Next Builder!] The Shield Driver announces.

Equipping Shift Next Builder, the new Kamen Rider channeled her concentration into the wireless hacking process, determined to disarm the bomb concealed within Wolfram.

*Blink!* *Flash!*

A digital interface, projected by Shift Next Builder, shimmered in the air, displaying complex lines of code and security protocols.

OverDrive, Tracer, Deku and All Might formed a protective barrier around Halo, battling against Wolfram's magnetic storm and fending off the relentless barrage of attacks. Each moment was crucial, as the warriors worked in tandem to buy precious time for Halo to complete her intricate task.

With determination in her eyes, Halo delved deeper into the digital labyrinth, navigating through layers of encryption and firewall defenses. The fate of I-Island rested on her ability to successfully neutralize the imminent threat posed by the bomb within Wolfram.

Time remaining:

08:45:37

Wolfram unleashed a relentless assault on the guardians surrounding Halo. His massive fists swung through the air, threatening to crush anyone in their path. Simultaneously, he conjured large balls of junk metal, forming makeshift projectiles that he hurled with destructive force.

*Bam!* *Crash!*

OverDrive, Tracer, Deku and All Might skillfully intercepted the attacks, using a combination of evasive maneuvers and powerful strikes to redirect the hazardous projectiles away from Halo.

Each member of the protective barrier contributed their unique abilities. OverDrive's swift mobility, Tracer's energy shield, Deku's destructive potential and All Might's sheer strength – to withstand Wolfram's onslaught.

Halo, undeterred by the chaos around her, continued to focus on her critical mission. The digital landscape within Shift Next Builder's interface mirrored the intensity of the physical battle, and she navigated through the intricate coding with unwavering determination.

As Wolfram's attacks intensified, the heroes coordinated their efforts, defending Halo against the relentless assault while counting down the minutes until she could successfully disarm the bomb and avert the impending disaster.

Bringing his Blade Gunner and Handle-Ken together, OverDrive builds up energy within his armor before unleashing a powerful red-colored x-shaped slash at the Wolfram Roidmude.

[Hissatsu! Full Throttle! Speed Wild Technique!] Belt-san cries.

"Cross Drive!" OverDrive chanted.

*Slash!*

The left half of the giant Wolfram monster is cut apart thanks to the Rider Slash.

"Argh!" The android roars in pain. "Damn you, vermin!"

[Hissatsu! Full Throttle! Kikern!]

Tracer inserts Signal Kikern into the Zenrin Shooter's slot before firing a giant Demon Beast at their enemy, with the bullet-shaped monster biting and tearing apart the members of the Roidmude of magnetism.

*Chomp!* *Chomp!*

"California Smash!" All Might roars before jumping high.

Whilst in mid-air, the All Might Roidmude spins into a frontal somersault to gather momentum before punching the top of Woflram's giant head with a single fist and sending him stumbling backwards.

*Smack!*

Cracks began to form on the giant monster's head as a result of the blow.

'My turn!' Deku thinks.

The Fusion Evolved Roidmude jumps in the air and spins, creating a tornado that engulfs him. Once high up, his right leg makes a back kick, creating a green crescent that flies forward. After that, Deku's left leg does a roundhouse kick, creating a second green cut. Finally, the boy makes a third cut using their left leg again, doing a backflip.

"Spinning Smash!"

*Slash!*

The three crescents hit the directed opponent one at a time, knocking the evil android back.

Time remaining:

05:00:00

04:59:99

"Enough!" Wolfram roared, slamming his fists on the rooftop and briefly making it harder for the humans to stand their ground there.

Frustrated by his inability to land a decisive blow on the heroes, the giant Roidmude channeled his rage into a dark and powerful technique.

"Magnets End!" He chants, bringing his hands together and clapping them.

Suddenly, the air around him crackled with energy as he began to manipulate the magnetic forces in the environment, drawing in massive chunks of debris, metal, and wreckage from I-Island.

The gathered debris formed a swirling vortex in the sky above, coalescing into a colossal sphere of destruction. It seemed to defy gravity, growing larger and more threatening with each passing moment(Imagine something similar to Pain's Chibaku Tensei).

His enemies paled at what he was creating.

"You gotta be kidding me…" Tracer muttered. "If something that big falls upon I-Island."

"I don't think any of us can destroy that…!" A nervous All Might comments.

"What are we supposed to do!?" Deku questioned.

The heroes, now facing the prospect of a catastrophic attack, shifted their attention from the immediate threat of Wolfram's physical assaults to the impending disaster unfolding in the skies above.

[Oh crap! The ground we stand is also being attracted towards that ball!] 025 comments in alarm.

As Wolfram's gravitational manipulation intensified, the very ground beneath the heroes' feet started to quiver and shake.

An invisible force, powerful and relentless, tugged at them, dragging them helplessly towards the colossal magnetic sphere hovering ominously in the sky. Panic and concern etched across their faces as they struggled to maintain their footing against the magnetic pull.

---

The once stable surface of I-Island became a treacherous death trap, with debris and loose objects being pulled upward, adding to the chaotic scene. Across the island, everyone clung to whatever they could, desperately trying to resist the force pulling them towards the impending disaster.

---

*Click!* *Click!* *Blink!* *Blink!*

Surprisingly, Halo, still engaged in the critical task of disarming the bomb, did not feel the added challenge as the shifting ground beneath her did not make her concentration more difficult to maintain.

The guardians now facing the dual threat of Wolfram's relentless attacks and the gravitational onslaught, knew that time was running out, and their actions needed to be swift and coordinated to avert the impending catastrophe.

"It seems that the center of Wolfram's last attack has an enormous gravitational pull." OverDrive carefully analyzes, looking above them.

"Do you have a plan, Yuuki-san?" Deku asks, briefly ducking down in order to avoid a piece of flying junk from hitting his head.

"We all must simultaneously attack the giant sphere. Each of us must use a powerful long-range attack!" The veteran Rider suggests, pulling out Shift Midnight Shadow from his Shift Car Holder.

"Alright!" Tracer complies, summoning her Ride Tracer.

[Blaster Mode!]

The Rider Machine announces before suddenly transforming into its deadly form.

[Tire Koukan! Midnight Shadow!] Belt-san announces as his Operator equips himself with the purple shuriken-shaped Shift Tire.

"Us too, Young Midoriya!"

"Right!"

Both mentor and pupil of [One For All] worked in synchrony as they built up energy inside their bodies.

[Hissatsu! Full Throttle! Sh-Sh-Shadow!] The Drive Driver chants as OverDrive prepares to execute a special move.

The vigilante summons a large purple shuriken and holds it above his head, with his right arm raised high. The shuriken was also giving off a loud screeching noise(Kinda like Naruto when he is holding up his Rasenshuriken).

[Ready? Go!]

Belt-san cries, giving the group the signal to unleash their special moves.

"Tracing Pulse!" Tracer cried as Ride Tracer's [Blaster Mode] fired a powerful red beam from its barrels.

"Perfect Smash!"

The All Might Roidmude combines his power with Deku' Roidmudes power, and both end up releasing a super-powered energy beam from their fists. Deku releases a green beam from his right arm, and All Might releases a yellow one from his left. Before hitting the target, the two combine into one, large beam of blue energy.

"Shadow Break!" OverDrive cries, tossing the giant purple-colored energy shuriken.

*Boom!*

The collective effort of the fighters proved to be formidable as their techniques merged into a single attack. As they unleashed a united assault on Wolfram's colossal magnetic sphere, their combined destructive power shattered the metallic structure with a blinding explosion.

The force of the blast sent shockwaves across I-Island, visible to all its inhabitants…

---

The skies above I-Island were briefly illuminated in a dazzling display of energy, followed by a wave of relief and cheers from the onlookers who witnessed the destruction of the threat looming over their beloved island.

The Drive Team and their allies, battered but victorious, stood amidst the aftermath, their determination and teamwork prevailing against the formidable Fusion Evolved Roidmude.

They were now catching their breath, anxiously awaiting the outcome, hoping that their efforts had not only stopped the immediate danger but also secured the safety of everyone on I-Island.

"Bring it on!" OverDrive cries, challenging their adversary with a finger gesture.

"Why won't you die!?" The giant Roidmude roared in response at his enemies.

But while initially furious that they managed to stop his last attack, the grim reality set in as Wolfram, despite the destruction of his powerful technique, reveled in the impending catastrophe.

"Tch! No matter, you will soon die anyway! We will all go to hell together once my bomb detonates!"

00:15:00

With a mocking tone, he reminded the warriors that his bomb was still ticking, with a mere 15 seconds left on the countdown. The threat of annihilation hung heavily in the air, and the heroes faced the urgency of finding a solution before it was too late.

"Do you really think you can stop this? The end is near, and your pathetic efforts won't change that!" The mechanical monster tells them, acting arrogantly.

However…

*Zap!*

A green beam suddenly pierced through the chaos, striking Wolfram in the chest and disarming the bomb.

"W-What!?" The giant metallic terror gasped once he realized what just happened.

00:01:00

Bomb disarmed! All Clear!

Halo, against all odds, had succeeded in hacking into the explosive device with a mere second to spare.

The tension that gripped the Kamen Riders and their comrades was released in a collective exhale of relief.

The new masked Rider, panting but triumphant, announced:

"I did it! The bomb is disarmed!"

"Melissa!" Deku cries his friend's name in relief.

Wolfram, now vulnerable and furious, roared in frustration.

"No... this can't be!"

"Melissa! Good job!" All Might praises her with a thumbs up.

"Not bad, kid." OverDrive comments, smirking under his mask as he nods to the girl.

With nothing else holding them back now, the Drive Team and their companions, with their determination still unbroken, prepared to unleash a barrage of powerful attacks on the enraged Wolfram.

Each member of the group readied their own special finisher, channeling their energy and strength to deliver a decisive blow.

Halo, now confident in her newfound abilities, declared,

"It's time to end this, Wolfram!"

Tracer, surrounded by the aura of her Ride Tracer, added:

"Your reign of terror stops now!"

Deku, his [One For All] power surging, proclaimed:

"We won't let you harm anyone else!"

All Might, his legendary strength at its peak, shouted:

"For the safety of I-Island and its people!"

Kamen Rider OverDrive, wielding the might of Shift Speed Wild Technique, stated:

"End of the line, Wolfram!"

[Hissatsu! Full Throttle! Allmobile!] The Shield Driver calls.

[Hissatsu! Full Throttle! Tracer!] The Mach Driver announces.

[Hissatsu! Full Throttle! Speed Wild Technique!] Belt-san chants.

All Might and Deku each gathered energy in their respective right foot, having an idea of what the Kamen Riders were about to do next.

"To overcome the crisis in front of you…!"

"With everything you've got…!"

"And to save everyone…!"

"With all you have…!"

The five warriors all jumped, each one directing a flying Rider Kick towards the giant Wolfram.

"Decode End!" Halo cries.

"Tracer Finish!" Tracer calls.

"Double Kick… Smash!" Deku and All Might yell.

"Trinity Burst!" OverDrive chants.

The heroes synchronized their movements, launching a synchronized assault on Wolfram. The combination of energy, strength, and determination converged into a dazzling display of power as their special finishers collided with the Fusion Evolved Roidmude.

"No!" The giant Roidmude cries as he creates an electromagnetic field in one last attempt to protect himself.

*Bam!* *Crash!*

A struggle follows up as each side tries to overcome the other.

"Go…" Deku starts.

"Beyond!" All Might finishes.

"Plus… Ultra!" Mentor and pupil say in unison.

*Crash!*

The combined attack bypassed Wolfram's last defense, with their kicks finally connecting with his giant head.

"Arggh!" The Roidmude lets out one final cry of horror as he receives the fatal blow.

*Boom!*

The resulting explosion echoed the victory of the heroes, ensuring the safety of I-Island and its inhabitants.

And as the explosions subdued, the once-giant form of the Wolfram Roidmude crumbled and dispersed into a shower of debris as the Fusion Evolved transformation was forcefully undone.

*Flash!* *Blink!*

The monstrous fusion lost its cohesion, leaving behind the separated entities—the human host and the Roidmude.

The human villain Wolfram, battered and defeated, fell heavily onto the remnants of the rooftop.

*Bam!* *Thud!*

"Ugh…" The man moaned, with blood coming from his eyes and ears.

Meanwhile, the Plain Spider Type Roidmude 078 shrieked in agony as his form disintegrated, the Core at its center fading away into nothingness.

"No… It wasn't supposed to end like this…!" Were the android's last words.

The echoes of their defeat reverberated across the rooftop, signaling the end of the menacing threat Wolfram posed to I-Island.

---

The triumphant cheers of victory soon echoed across I-Island as the residents and onlookers celebrated the apparent end of the fierce battle. Even Class 1-A, who had been watching the events unfold, joined in the collective joy.

The threat that had loomed over the island seemed to have been vanquished, bringing a sense of relief and elation to everyone present.

"They did it!" Mina, Denki, Eijiro were the loudest as everybody in their class cheered over the victory the humans had over the Roidmudes.

"Good job, Midoriya! Everyone!" Tenya praises everyone who defeated Wolfram.

"Deku-kun…" Ochaco smiles in relief, having a feeling that the greenette and the others are okay.

Shoto nods in approval.

"Their coordination and strategy were impressive. It's like they knew each other's moves."

"Did you see all that tech in action? So much inspiration for my inventions!" Mei cried in joy.

"Yeah, yeah, they did okay. I guess." Katsuki acknowledged begrudgingly, giving them praise in his own 'unique' way. "Not bad, Deku. Teamwork and all that crap."

---

Making his way through the junk gathered around them, Toshinori(now back in his skinny form) finds David and removes the restraints around his friend.

"David, are you alright? That was quite a battle."

"I've been through worse, Toshi. But thanks to everyone here, we managed to pull through." David replies, weary but smiling.

Toshinori nods at this and smiles back at his friend.

"I'm just glad you're safe. You and Melissa mean a lot to me."

"Likewise, my friend. I appreciate everything you've done for us."

On another corner, Izuku and Melissa can be seen talking with each other, congratulating themselves on the role the two of them had in the fight against the Roidmudes.

"Melissa, that was incredible! Your transformation into Kamen Rider Halo was a game-changer!" The boy praises her.

"Thanks, Izuku. But it wasn't just me. We all fought together and made it through." The blonde girl replies, blushing at the compliments her new friend was giving her.

"True, but your power and determination played a crucial role. You're a vital part of the team! It's thanks to you that we managed to stop Wolfram's bomb." The greenette replies, grinning at her.

"But having you as a teammate made a difference, too. Let's keep supporting each other!"

Hearing their talk, Toshinroi and David couldn't help but exchange proud smiles with each other.

"Let's celebrate this victory. We've earned it." The Symbol of Peace tells his friend.

"Yeah."

"And I hope you two aren't going to leave us out." A familiar voice calls the two men.

The duo gets to see Krim, Kanade, Shinra and Shinji approaching to join them. Each one of them also looked proud over the victory as well.

"Krim!"

"Professor!"

"Well done, everyone! That was an exceptional display of teamwork and determination." Steinbelt congratulates his team and companions with a warm smile.

"I'm proud to have been part of this." Kanade comments with a small smile, placing both hands on her hips.

"It's great to see everyone safe and sound. All Might, your kid has proven himself as an amazing fighter. The kid has a bright future ahead of him." Shinra tells the Pro Hero with a small smirk.

"Of course, the same can be said about Yagi-san. But yeah, that was quite a battle. I'm glad we all came out on top." Shinji says next.

"Thank you, everyone. We also couldn't have done any of this without your help." Toshinori tells Krim and the three good Roidmudes.

"Yes, and your efforts didn't go unnoticed." David adds.

The two then start to look around, as if searching for someone else.

"By the way, where are Tomari and Shijima?" Toshinori curiously asks Krim as he notices their absence.

The older bespectacled scientist simply smiles as he points in another direction, where the two Kamen Riders in question are simply sitting on a pile of junk, resting right next to each other and slowly recovering.

Yuriko looked at her partner in concern.

"Tomari-san, you're not looking so well. Do you need to lay down?"

Yuuki gave her a weak smile as he shook his head.

"Just need to catch my breath for a bit. Had to actually work for this one."

The policewoman chuckled.

"No kidding, I suppose. You definitely more than pulled your weight this time around."

The duo and everyone else's attention suddenly shifted towards the horizon as they could start to see the lights of sunrise.

The long night was finally over and a brand new day was about to begin…

"Oh, wow... Look at that sunrise." Yuuki comments.

"It's beautiful..." Yuriko says with a cheerful smile.

As the intense battle concluded, and the threat of the bomb was nullified, Yuuki and Yuriko, along with the others, found a moment to gaze at the horizon. The sky painted in hues of orange and pink, with the rising sun casting a warm glow over I-Island, created a serene and beautiful scene.

"After all the chaos, it's moments like these that make everything worth it." Yuriko comments.

"Yeah, it's a reminder of why we fight – to protect moments like this..." Yuuki says in accord.

Review Time!

Guest DCDGojira: Thanks! Glad you liked both the chapter and the design for Melissa's Rider form.

TheRealD3lph0xL0v3r: Thanks! Glad you liked the chapter.

SynchroRegis: Thanks! Glad you liked the chapter.

Wynnt'r: Hope you liked the chapter!

I'm sorry if my explanation about Kamen Rider Halo's design was kind of hard to understand. I suck at that whenever I try describing OCs in my stories. If I could draw well, I would have sent a picture to you. Right now, I have no idea how to explain in more detail about her suit's appearance.

For'Sleep 3rd: Hope you liked the chapter!

Akira/Chaser and Kaito/Lupin are chilling back at Musutafu City, currently laying low for the moment.

Yes, there will be more Quirkless people becoming Riders in the future. After all, I still have some ideas like an OC that will become Kamen Rider Mach in a later arc.

About Izuku's situation, you actually gave me an interesting idea. While some people will be fine with it or not care at all, like with most of the Kamen Riders, others might be envious of his position. Maybe I will make his secret be revealed much earlier to some villains, such as Humarise. I can imagine that the Quirkless people in that organization will all certainly resent and hate Deku for being chosen as All Might's successor.

carlosblue14: Thanks! Glad you liked the chapter.

You're right about the explanation part. I will make sure to try not letting something like that happen again. Maybe leave these explanations to after the fight or something of the sort.

FlameFireZero X: Thanks! Glad you liked the chapter. Yes, I will eventually reveal later how both Chaser and Lupin came across their respective Rider gears.

DawnYugo: Thanks! Glad you liked the chapter.

I could make Kanade/Navi-chan/Roidmude 031 eventually gain the capacity to control Melissa's body at a later moment, maybe when they gain a possible power-up.
Yeah, I definitely took some inspiration from the Decode Talker monster in the Vrains anime when I made the 'Decode End' Rider Kick. I might use the other Code Talker attacks if some ideas come later into my mind.

At the moment, I still don't know about what kind of upgrades I will give to Melissa/Kamen Rider Halo. Do you have any suggestions?

#2nd review: Yes, I have watched Kamen Rider Legend's spin-off.

I plan to eventually make some crossover arcs for this story. But at the moment, I might not make use of Kaguya/Legend. For now, I will only confirm that Tsukasa/Decade and Kaito/Diend will appear though.
