The Rift Controller went over the last adjustments. "Report," he barked as the Dalek Emperor appeared in its dome's gateway.

"All systems operating at normal status!" replied a Dalek.

"Ready to begin the countdown," said a Lord Drone.

"Begin," ordered the Rift Controller.

"Our commanders are not within the safety zone!" yelped a Combatman.

"The energy wave won't start immediately," replied the Rift Controller. "They have enough time to get to safety. Begin."

"Alert! Alert! Enemy vessels attempting communication!" warned another Dalek.

"Let them eat static," replied the Rift Controller as Khan Noonien Signh appeared in its gateway.

"Metaltron's approaching!" called a Combatman. Not just her, as you and I already know. The surviving villains were so focused on escaping their enemies, they didn't notice one another. They all crashed into each other.

"WATCH IT!" shouted Katie.

"YOU WATCH IT!" retorted Nemesis.

"Oh no, not you guys!" realized Metaltron.

"You're mortal too?!" asked Intrag. That was all the confirmation needed.

"Fire the energy wave now!" ordered Metaltron.

"Nay, belay that!" argued the Rift Controller as Captain Barbossa appeared in its gateway. "We need to build up the charge!"

"They're right behind us! We have no time!" snarled Metaltron. "Fire the energy wave now!"

"The fight in here will delay them," replied the Rift Controller. "A countdown is sufficient."

"I am Metaltron and I order you to fire the wave now! Disregard the countdown! Obey! Obey! OBEY!"

"No." That single word from the Rift Controller lingered as the heroes arrived.

"YOU! WILL! OBEY!"

"Well, well, well," chuckled Vortex. "A Dalek decides to betray you, huh, Metaltron? Surprised?"

"We are under siege!" a Dalek warned the Rift Controller.

"We shall deal with it," said the Rift Controller with the usual command level Dalek swagger as it brought its gunstick to bear. "Besides, there's no Optimus Prime here, so the form that would have given us trouble cannot be accessed, correct, Royal?"

"Don't rest on your laurels just now!" warned Death. "Because we still have an ace up our sleeves."

"An ace, eh? Like my donor?"

"No, I said just ace, not aroa…wait, what?" Everyone looked at the Rift Controller.

"What, surprised at the fact I know I was the commander of those back-stabbing Lords?" quizzed the Rift Controller.

"You remember everything?! HOW?!" yelped Metaltron.

"You built a Vortonian-styled gateway into my casing!" replied the Rift Controller. "Those things can get readings across all known timelines! What did you think would happen when you shoved me into this thing?!"

"YOU HAVE BETRAYED US!"

"YOU BETRAYED ME FIRST, FORMER LAST OF THE DALEKS!" The Rift Controller opened its…HIS casing to reveal that he had golden Elementriggers in their combined form in one of his tentacles. The mechanical spider that made up his old suit then arrived. "And one thing, while you made me into a mockery of the man I once was, you didn't check to make sure my Kamen Rider equipment couldn't work with my new form!" The spider formed a belt just under the Rift Controller's eye. The Rift Controller then pressed the button on the Elementriggers and held it to the casing's front.

"What's the word?!" called the spider.

"HENSHIN!" ordered the Rift Controller. He then split the Elementriggers into their separate states and slid each part under the spider. The transformation was a bit grotesque as the mutant creature changed into a vaguely humanoid shape before the armor of Kamen Rider Weaver appeared. This armor looked different. It was gold with a white undersuit and the eyes were white while the spider legs on his back were spikier, his gloves gained claws on the fingertips, and he gained huge shoulder-pads.

"Power over all elements!" called the spider. "Weaver: Divine!"

"…That was a disgusting Henshin sequence," gagged Vortex.

"Perhaps, but I needed a powerful form," replied Weaver. "And there's something to be said for the humanoid shape! Once I-!" He was interrupted by a horn honk. "…A truck?" muttered Weaver. He then stepped back in fear as he realized what Death was talking about! "No!"

"Yes!" replied Death. Vortex then face-palmed.

"I forgot versions of him rise from the grave," she muttered. "Everyone, step back!" A futuristic red and blue semi-truck hauling an equally futuristic trailer then barreled into the room.

"Wait, OPTIMUS?!" yelped Nemesis. "But he's dead! I killed him!"

"You did," confirmed Optimus as his holo-form stepped out. He pointed to the halo on his forehead. "Turns out the Horsemen subconsciously thought I was worthy to enter Beyond City. I know the terms and conditions, but I'd say it's worth it in order to stop you. Besides, I can at least visit."

"It won't matter!" insisted Weaver. "I've obtained my final form a long time ago! The countdown has started and…" He trailed off when he counted all the heroes. "…Where's the Doctor?! …WHERE'S THE GODDAMNED DOCTOR?!"

"Someone looking for me?" asked the Doctor's voice. Everyone looked to see the Doctor standing by a bank of computers!"

"EXTERMINATE!" shouted a Dalek. The cry was taken up and the Daleks opened fire!

"STOP, YOU FOOLS!" wailed Weaver, but it was no good. The Daleks were in a frenzy! The surviving villains had to duck, dodge, and weave around the shots. Vortex, Arsha, and Optimus (having already assumed robot mode) joined up and ducked behind the trailer.

"Hey, Megumi," said Optimus as he pulled something out of the trailer. He had something carefully between his thumb and pointer finger. Vortex gasped.

"The Transcendant!" she said. "It's fixed!"

"Dell and Liam had to work together," explained Optimus.

"…All right then!" declared Vortex. "Since our rescued friends said Weaver fears our combined power…" She then pressed a button on the Transcendant.

"TRIPLE ASCENDANCE!" it called, attracting the attention of Weaver.

"No!" he pleaded. Vortex then slotted the Transcendant over her Vortex Driver.

"TRIPLE SET!" it continued.

"Henshin!" said Vortex.

"Henshin!" repeated Optimus and Arsha. Vortex pressed the button again, then the Transcendant spun the wheels as Optimus and Arsha turned into mist and entered Vortex. Her armor then changed, looking like a blend between her base form, her crown, Optimus' armor, and Arsha's outfit, complete with rose hair piece. She grew nine fox tails and her eyes became enhanced with Cybertronian optics.

"POWER OF THREE! ASCENDED TRINITY! KAMEN RIDER VORTEX: TRINITY SOUL!" cheered the Transcendant. Vortex: Trinity Soul then summoned her Gunblade and attacked Weaver.

"You've threatened the Multiverse for the last time!" she hissed in a new voice, one that was neither Optimus, Arsha, or Megumi's.

"I HAVE A FINAL FORM!" argued Weaver. "ONLY HEROIC KAMEN RIDERS GET THAT KIND OF POWER!" Optimus then took over.

"Keep the enemy off our back!" he said to the heroes. "We have a plan to follow!"

"Right!" confirmed Spark. "Doctor, it's your show!"

"Here we go!" The Doctor got to work as the heroes fought back.
