Chapter 2: Rise of the Red Dragon

As both Naoto and Knight continued to outrun Dragreder's attack, Naoto jumped and fell on his back, Knight rolled on the ground as he landed on his knee and foot.

"That's a big one!" Knight stood up with Naoto. The bat Rider was about to open his Visor to use his Cards but saw that his hand began to fade away, he then turned to Naoto and saw that the top of his head was also beginning to fade away. "Looks like time's up."

Knight then runs past Naoto.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Naoto calls out as he follows Knight.

Both Naoto and Knight had arrived at the window that the latter used to enter the Mirror World before he explained to Naoto the details on how this world works.

"We can only remain in this world for so long. You'd better leave soon too, if you don't want to die." Knight jumps into the window to leave.

"Eh?" Naoto said in some confusion before he saw Dragreder heading towards him.

Naoto runs to the window to escape but unlike Knight, he only smashed into it making a large crack.

"What the heck?!" Naoto said as he bangs on the window in the attempt to escape and soon heard Aqua's voice.

"Get back the way you came!"

"The way I came?" Naoto said before he notices an incoming fireball from Dragreder and he quickly avoids it as it completely shatters the window.

Naoto quickly runs as Dragreder continues to chase after its prey while Naoto tries to look for his only way to escape.

"I don't even know how I got here!" Naoto said before he stopped and turned to a familiar looking car.

That's when he remembered how he entered this world by accidentally jumping into the car's reflective surface.

"The car?" Naoto soon saw that Dragreder was getting closer to attack him.

Naoto quickly runs and jumps into the car's reflective surface to escape as Dragreder's attack misses and explodes on the ground.


Naoto soon returns to the real world as he falls to the ground and Aqua, now out of his armor, and Yui spotted him as they quickly move to Naoto to check on him.

Naoto groaned as he rolled on his back and his armor disappeared by shattering into mirror fragments. Yui knelt down to him before Naoto passed out.

"Hey! Hey!" Yui calls out.


(Alive a Life by Rica Matsumoto)

(Instrumental) (The whole scene shatters like glass and appears in its place as Kamen Rider Ryuki before flashes of the story took his place. Then Naoto appears walking forward before it changes to Aqua in his place and then to Ruby. Both Naoto and Aqua walked past each other with Ruby walking between them.)

(Then it changes to Naoto holding his Advent Card before Ryuki took his place before both Naoto and his Kamen Rider form stood side-by-side as several reflections of them appeared behind them, then it showed Ryuki moving to Naoto's back and their reflections appeared. The scene changes to a mirror showing his Advent Card before a hole shaped crack suddenly appears.)

(Asayake ni tsutsumarete. Hashiri dashita yukubeki michi wo.) (The scene showed Ryuki in a hall of mirrors. Then Naoto appears in a crowd of people before taking out his Advent Card. Ryuki looks into the mirrors and sees reflections of himself and some show him as Ryuga.)

(Jounetsu no BEKUTOORU ga. Boku no mune wo tsuranuiteyuku.) (Then it showed Aqua looking at his past where Ai had died before the star on his eye turned dark. Then glass fragments fell on the floor while showing an image of Aqua's Advent Card. Then flashes of the Kamen Riders including Naoto and Aqua appeared as they held a Card in their hand. Then it showed a man wearing sunglasses standing in front of a grave while he holds a Card Deck in his hand and then changes to Ruby practicing her dancing, then showed Naoto hanging out with his friends.)

(Donna kiken ni kizutsuku koto ga ate mo!) (Then as flashes of Naoto and Aqua's lives appeared, a second screen showed them doing their Henshin poses before placing their Decks to their belts. Naoto transforms into Ryuki while Aqua transforms into Knight.)

(Yume yo odore! Kono hoshi no moto de!) (Ryuki does his Final Vent pose slowly in the same mirror hall as sparks were flying off.)

(Nikushimi wo utsushidasu. Kagami nante kowasuhodo!) (Ryuki drives in his Ride Shooter through the Mirror World. Then it showed Knight in the hall of mirrors as he flicked his cape while striking a pose with his Darkvisor.)

(Yume ni mukae!) (The scene changes to Ruby sleeping in the hall of mirrors before she woke up and then white and black feathers appeared around her.)

(Mada bukiyoudemo. Ikiteiru hageshisa wo.) (Ryuki walks through the streets of the Mirror World while Knight and Ryuga are perched on different buildings. watching him.)

(Karadajuu de tashikametai!) (As Ryuki continues to walk, his Contract Monster, Dragredder appeared and followed him. Then as the title appeared on screen, it showed images of Naoto, Ruby, Aqua before it showed Ryuga, Knight and Ryuki ready for battle and then both Ryuki and Knight clashed blades with their faces closed to each other. Then the title appeared.)


As he was sleeping, flashes of Naoto entering the Mirror World began to appear in his dreams along with his transformation and where he encountered Yui who asked him a question.

"Are you…a Kamen Rider?"

Naoto begins to wake up as he opens his eyes but soon sees he is sleeping on a couch and in an unfamiliar room.

Naoto sits up and sees that the room he was in appears to be a dining room. He then spotted his backpack on one of the chairs, Naoto stood up and picked it up and headed to the door. He tried to open it to leave but saw it was locked.

Naoto looked around and spotted an open path, he walked to it and saw a stairway that leads down. Seeing no other options, Naoto walks down the stairs.

After arriving downstairs, Naoto opens an unlocked door and enters what appears to be a cafe room. Naoto continued to walk forward before he heard someone calling out to him.

"Hey, you're up!"

Naoto looked and saw it was Yui on a table with Aqua as the two were enjoying some tea.

"You guys…Where am I?" Naoto asked. Yui stood up and walked to pull out a chair for Naoto and herself.

"Don't worry. You're back in the real world. Have a seat." Yui told him before pulling out the said chairs.

Naoto walks to the chair to sit on it with Aqua looking at him and Yui sat down next to Naoto.

"Ummm…" Naoto said.

"I know you're still confused, but can I ask you some questions first? First, this…" Yui said before she pulled out the blank Card Deck that Naoto found from her jacket's pocket. "Where did you find it?"

"That's…I found it in the room of a person who went missing two months ago. I think his name was Sakakibara." Naoto said.

"Sakakibara…" Yui said before she asked Naoto another question. "Do you know Kanzaki Shiro?"

"Kanzaki Shiro? No…I've never heard that name." Naoto answered.

While a bit disappointed, Yui had an understanding look on her face before she placed the Deck on the stone table.

"I see…" She said before she stood up and headed to the kitchen.

Naoto picks up the Card Deck to look at it while Yui picks up a tea brewer to make some tea for him.

"What is this thing? Everything's been kinda weird since I found it…Like I'm…sensing things." Naoto said.

"That deck is what does it. Anyone holding that deck can see and sense them." Yui explained.

"See and sense what?" Naoto asked.

"The monsters of the Mirror World." Yui answered.

"Mirror? Monsters?" Naoto said in confusion as he couldn't make sense of any of this. "Hang on a minute…this is all too weird to believe!"

That's when Aqua spoke to him next, drawing Naoto's attention as he turned to him.

"You don't even believe your own eyes?" Aqua questions him and Naoto recognizes his voice.

"I know that voice! You're that bat guy!" Naoto said before he remembers meeting Aqua in his Kamen Rider form.

"I'm surprised. You still haven't contracted with a monster?"

Aqua turns away from Naoto before Yui approaches him while carrying a teacup and teapot for Naoto while explaining to him.

"That was Kamen Rider Knight." Yui placed the teacup on Naoto's table as he turned to her.

"Kamen Rider?" Naoto said in confusion.

As Yui pours him a cup, she explains another feature unique to the Card Decks.

"You can only travel to the Mirror World if you use the power of that deck to become a Rider."

That's when Aqua spoke to her.

"Yui-san." Both Yui and Naoto turn to him. "You don't need to tell him anything else. It's clear that he's not a part of this."

Aqua stood up and walked to Naoto.

"It's best that you forget that any of this has happened." Aqua told him before he took the blank Deck out of Naoto's hand and placed it back on the table. "I'll take your deck. The exit this way."

Aqua grabs onto Naoto to force him to stand up and drags him to the cafe's door.

"Hey, hang on!" Naoto said before Yui spoke to him.

"Aqua, don't you remember? That monster is after him!" Yui said as she quickly moved to them and Naoto was surprised to hear that last part.

"Eh?" Naoto said before he and Aqua stopped along with Yui.

"I'll take care of that monster." Aqua told her.

"And if it attacks him first? If you don't start acting reasonably, the deal's off!" Yui told him.

Aqua sighed and turned to her.

"Fine. We'll play it your way." Aqua said.

After Naoto and Yui sit back down on their chairs, Aqua leaves the cafe.

"I'm sorry about that." Yui said. Naoto slowly turns to her as the part of the monsters coming after him is still fresh in his mind.

"Say…Those 'monsters' you mentioned…Is that dragon one of them?" Naoto asked. Unknown to them is that Aqua was spying at them through the glass on the door for a moment before he leaves.

"Once a monster targets you, it never gives up. They eat humans." Yui explained to him.

"Eat humans? Then…the missing people…" Naoto said and Yui answered by silently nodding to confirm his suspicions. "So it'll get me too?"

"Don't worry." Yui said before she picked up the blank Card Deck and pulled out the Seal Card showing it to Naoto. "This card will let you seal the monster away."

Naoto looks at the Seal Card before he grabs onto it.

"So that guy becomes this Kamen Rider thing and fights the monsters?" Naoto asked before he had an idea about Yui. "Wait…are you?"

"No, I'm not a Kamen Rider." Yui shook her head. "But you're half right about the last part."

Yui stood up to pick up the empty teacups that she and Aqua had used.

"But this is still amazing." Naoto said as he looked at the Card in his hand.

"Anyway, that's the basics that Aqua had told me. But I'd prefer it if you wouldn't tell anyone…" Yui said before she smiled at Naoto. "Not that anyone would believe you. Be careful out there."

After being given the Seal Card, Naoto exits the building. He stops for a moment to shield his eyes from the bright sun.

Naoto then walks through the opened gate and sees the cafe's sign, learning that its name is 'Atori' while having a bird symbol.

Naoto took a moment to study its design, and it appears to be built to also be a house. Naoto then saw the family sign which was covered in vegetation.

Curious about that, Naoto moved to the sign and moved some of the vines aside and saw the family written on it 'Kanzaki'.

Naoto was surprised by this before he remembered Yui's question about a man with that name.

"Do you know Kanzaki Shiro?"

Despite his inexperience as a journalist, Naoto was able to conclude that Yui must have a personal history with this Kanzaki Shiro while curious about that, Naoto chose not to pry on her past and left.

Unknown to him, is that Aqua on his bike was spying on him from a distance before he put on his helmet.


(Meanwhile)

In the city, people were casually walking on the streets and living their everyday lives.

But unknown to them, is that in the Mirror World, the once destroyed Dispider begins to regenerate itself from a broken leg.

After a few seconds, Dispider restored its entire body and was now standing on its eight legs. But the Mirror Monster growls as it now has a new body part attached on top of its spider body.


Thankfully for Naoto, today happens to be the weekend, so school was closed today. But now, he must tackle another problem…his own home.

After arriving at his house, Naoto carefully and quietly opens the door, he then takes a moment to study the inside and sees no one.

Naoto quietly enters the house while closing the door behind him. After he took off his shoes, he quietly walked in the hallway but heard someone cooking in the kitchen/living room.

Naoto looked and saw a woman standing in front of the stove. Feeling confident he could pull this off, Naoto was about to head to his room, but…

"Naoto." The woman calls out as Naoto stops while flinching. "You better not be thinking you can just sneak into your room without saying hello first."

Naoto sighs in defeat.

"Should've seen this coming…" Naoto mutters to himself.

While rubbing the back of his head, Naoto walks into the kitchen as the woman was waiting for him with her arm folded while still holding the cooking spoon in her hand.

She appears to be in her mid-30s. She had long black hair tied in a ponytail and had lilac eyes. She was wearing a short sleeve black shirt and white pants with brown slippers.

This is Sayako Kido, Naoto's aunt and legal guardian.

Naoto nervously smiles and waves at his aunt.

"Hey, Aunt Sayako." Naoto greeted her.

"Don't you 'hey' me, mister. Now care to explain where you were last night?" Sayako questions him while pointing her spoon at him.

"Oh, well…I was hanging out with Takeru. We were up late playing games nonstop." Naoto said. But his aunt wasn't convinced by that.

"Oh, really? Because I just spoke with Takeru-kun and Sumika-chan, and they hadn't seen you last night either." Sayako countered his statement.

Naoto flinches while mentally wishing that his friends tried to cover for him.

"Okay…Look, I can't explain right now…plus a lot has happened. But I promise you, I didn't get into any trouble. Honest." Naoto told his aunt.

While not convinced by that, Sayako accepted.

"Alright, fine. But the next time this happens, I expect you to at least call me once." Sayako told him.

"You got it." Naoto nodded.

"Okay. Now, head on up and change clothes. Daisuke called and he has a lot to say to you." Sayako said.

"Right…" Naoto said before he leaves and heads to his room.

"Also, I expect that you'll pick up Yume from school tomorrow." Sayako told him.

"Got it." Naoto said.

After entering his room and closing the door behind him, Naoto sighed as he leaned on the door.

He hates lying to his aunt like this but it's not like she'll believe him that he had escaped from a world within a mirror while being chased by monsters who live in that said world.

Naoto looks at the family picture on his desk from when he was a child with his mother and father.

Naoto lost his parents at a young age, so his aunt took him in and raised him along with her child despite losing her husband. So she was the closest thing he had to a mother, and he wanted to do his best to repay her for her kindness and hospitality.

Naoto sighed before he took off his jacket and threw his backpack on the bed.

"I need a bath…" He mutters.


(Later)

After eating the meal Sayako cooks for him along with her and his cousin, Naoto arrives at his workplace, the office of ORE Journal where his boss, Daisuke was giving him a scolding as Naoto was standing in front of him.

"Where have you been? You've been out of contact for a whole day!" Daisuke said.

Naoto bowed his head and explained himself.

"Sorry. My phone ran out of battery."

"What will I do with you?" Daisuke said before he picked up a certain bill. "Here."

Naoto looked at the bill and saw it was from the landlord of Koichi Sakakibara.

"The cost of your little independent investigation." Daisuke explained before he placed the bill on his desk. "It's coming out of your pay, of course."

"What?!" Naoto said in shock.

On her desk, Nanako was editing Daisuke's profile photo on the Journal's website by placing a suit on the original photo.

"Come on, chief, you can't be serious!" Naoto said.

"Well, it's what you get! Be a good boy today and just look through the data. Like Reiko told you!" Daisuke told him.

"Hai…" Naoto sighed in resignation.

Naoto sat down in front of his own computer to turn it on but saw that the blank screen was showing his reflection. Naoto was frightened by this as he nearly fell off his chair being fearful that Dragreder would pop out and attack him.

Nanako notices that as she looks at him.

"What's wrong?" She asked.

"N-Nothing…" Naoto answered.

Naoto carefully clicks on the computer's mouse to turn it on. Naoto sighed in relief before Nanako spoke to him.

"Naoto-kun." He turns to her. "I'm gonna change the layout of the staff page. If you're gonna get fired, let me know quick. Then I don't need to factor you in."

Nanako went back to editing the homepage while Naoto sighed in sadness. He probably has the biggest lead and story in the world, but he can't share it since it will be too crazy for anyone to believe, even his coworkers.


(Meanwhile)

In a shopping mall, a mother and her daughter soon enter a clothing store. After picking out some clothes, the mother opens the curtain for a changing room. She then spoke to her daughter.

"Wait here, okay?" She told her.

"Hai!" Her daughter responded.

The mother enters the changing room and closes the curtain while the daughter leans on a wall from a close distance to wait for her mother knowing she'll return.

The mother begins taking off her clothes, starting her coat while not noticing a ripple appearing in the mirror in front of her along with a ringing which she heard.

She looked for the source of the ringing but found nothing, she soon made the mistake of looking at the mirror as Dispider's web appeared from it as it grabbed hold of her.

The mother screams but before anyone could hear her, she was pulled into the mirror and Dispider made a meal out of her.


(Back in ORE Journal)

It was now lunch break for the staff of ORE Journal as Nanako prepared the table and their lunches.

"Itadakimasu!" Daisuke said as he pulled out his chopsticks.

That's when Reiko returns as she enters the room.

"Tadaima!" Reiko greeted her boss and coworkers.

"Okairi!" Daisuke and Nanako greeted her back)

Naoto quickly stood up and spoke to Reiko.

"Hey, Reiko-senpai…" Reiko stops and turns to him. "I'm really sorry about yesterday."

"I really hate excessive apologies." Reiko told her while putting down her purse

"Sorry." Naoto said.

"What's with you, Naoto? You're so glum today. It's not like you to let a little blunder get you down." Daisuke said before he and Nanako ate their food.

"I'm not down at all!" Naoto stated before he sat down and ate his bento. "Itadakimasu!"

As she was taking off her coat, Reiko heard her phone ringing. She brought it out and answered it.

"Hello? Yeah. Right, got it. Thanks." Reiko said before she ended the call and turned to Daisuke. "Chief."

"Hmmm?" Daisuke turns to her.

"Another missing person case." Reiko told him which also earns Naoto's attention.

"Another?"

"At Global Plaza. I'm going to investigate." Reiko said before she walked to pick up her things.

Concerned about that, Naoto quickly stood up and spoke to her.

"Wait!"

"What? You want to come with me?" Reiko asked.

"No, I…I just think you should let this one go." Naoto replied.

"Eh? Why?" Reiko asked.

"Well…people disappearing like this…It can't be normal, right? It's dangerous. It's not safe! Look…There are plenty of things you can report on without putting yourself in danger."

Daisuke and Nanako were watching them while still enjoying their food. Reiko was silent for a moment before she types on Naoto's computer to print out of the list of missing people.

"I guess I can't even trust you to look through the data."

"Eh?" Naoto said before Reiko turned to him while the list was being printed.

"Plenty of things to report on? Don't be absurd. I pursue the truth of things because the people want to know." Reiko said as the printer finished the first page and she picked up the list to show it to Naoto. "What did you see when you looked at this list? It's not just a bunch of names. Parents! Siblings! Even children! Do you realize the impact disappearances have?"

Reiko turns back to the printer to pick up the other pages.

"You can't even see something so basic…" Reiko turns back to Naoto. "Then you run around talking about how you want to be a journalist, but when it gets dangerous, we're just supposed to stop? This isn't some game! If you don't ever want to face danger, just quit, baka!"

Reiko throws the pages on Naoto before she leaves the office with him watching her. Daisuke finished his bowl of ramen by drinking the soup and soon spoke to Naoto.

"Can't blame her for being mad." Daisuke said before he stood up and placed a hand on Naoto's shoulder. "The one thing she privately liked about you was your willingness to run headlong into any situation."

"Eh?" Naoto turns to Daisuke in shock to hear that.

"Even if you're usually running in the wrong direction." Daisuke patted his back before he walked to his personal desk. "That was a good lunch. Now, back to work."

Naoto looks at pages of missing people that were now on the floor before he knelt down to pick them up and looks at the list of missing people.

Yuuya Bridges. Noto Izumi. Yamashiro Kazusa. Sanada Kozou. Ikaruga Takatsugu.

But there was one name that really got his eye. Former name: Kanzaki.

"Eh?"

Naoto looked and saw that the name belonged to someone named 'Shiro Takami'. Seeing that made Naoto remember Yui's question.

"Do you know Kanzaki Shiro?"

Nanako holding her empty bowl of udon was about to leave the office but not before she stopped and spoke to Naoto.

"Naoto-kun, are you on the staff page or not?"

With his passion as a reporter burning within him, Naoto stood up and spoke to Daisuke.

"Chief." Daisuke turned to him and saw the fire in his eyes. "I'm going to investigate, too."

Knowing that he'll go even if said no, Daisuke smiles and nods.

"Then go."

Naoto quickly picks up his things and leaves while Nanako watches before she turns to the chief editor being a bit surprised that he allowed Naoto to go.

"Here's hoping he won't cause any trouble. But that would only be wishful thinking." Daisuke said before checking the paperwork.


Naoto soon got on his motorcycle and drove on the street to head to various locations to gather information about the disappearance.

That's when Aqua, on his own bike, was watching him on another street before he drove and followed Naoto.

Unknown to both teens, Dragreder was also following Naoto as it appeared and flew in the windows of a building.


With its sirens on, a police car is seen heading towards Global Plaza after hearing the report of the mother going missing.

On the roof of a nearby building, a maintenance worker had arrived on the roof via the doorway. He then walks to check on some things but unknown to him is that Dispider was looking at from a large wall of mirrors.


On their motorcycles, Aqua continues to follow Naoto for a while. They soon arrive on a nearby slope with no people in sight, that's when Naoto stops and turns to Aqua who also stops.

Both teens took off their helmets and Naoto spoke to Aqua first.

"What do you want? Why are you following me?"

"I don't want anything from you. I'm interested in the dragon that's after you."

"Eh?"

Aqua heard his phone ringing, he soon brought it out and saw it was Yui calling. He accepted the call and brought the phone to his ear.

"Yui-san?"

"Aqua. Where are you? You're not hunting that dragon monster, are you?" Yui questions him.

"Of course not." Aqua said with an innocent tone.


Yui was standing close to Global Plaza.

"Come to Global Plaza immediately. There's a monster here!" Yui said before she looked at the building next to the Plaza.


"Understood." Aqua put his phone away and put his helmet back on. "Let the dragon eat you if you like…Just don't seal it, okay?"

Aqua then drives past Naoto which nearly makes him fall off of his bike.

"What the heck is his problem?" Naoto said.


Still on the roof of the building, the maintenance worker is seen walking close to some reflective windows, unaware that Dispider was close to him.

In front of one window, Dispider catches him with its web and after tightening its hold on him, Dispider was about to pull him into the window.

That's when Aqua comes to his rescue as he jumps and grabs onto the worker as they both fall to the ground while the webline broke.

Aqua quickly stood up and looked at the window while the worker coughs, Aqua turns to him.

"Hey!" Aqua spoke to him before the maintenance worker passed out.

Yui soon arrived, Aqua then moved in front of the window where Dispider's web appeared.

Aqua brought his Card Deck in front of the window and his V-Buckle appeared on his waist and Aqua strikes his pose.

"Henshin!" Aqua shouted before he inserted the Deck to his Buckle and transformed into Kamen Rider Knight.

With his Visor in hand, Knight jumps into the window to hunt down the Mirror Monster.

After following Aqua to the plaza, Naoto stops and looks at the tall building. Knowing that's where he needs to go, he took off his helmet and headed to the building.

But unknown to Naoto, Dragreder had been following him as it appeared in the windows of a nearby building behind him.


(With Knight)

Knight, riding on the Rideshooter, soon enters the Mirror World with Darkwing following him. Knight raced on the roof of the building while Darkwing screeched.

Knight stops while skidding on the side as Dispider was standing in front of him.

The hatch opens and Knight catches a good look of Dispider's new form.

While the Mirror Monster still has its spider body serving as the lower half, on the upper half, Dispider now has a human-shaped body with a silver head with red lining around its hexagon eyes and has three red gems on its chest with pincers for hands. This is Dispider Reborn.

Knight was surprised to see the reborn Mirror Monster in its new form.


(With Naoto)

Naoto is seen running in Global Plaza but stops as he hears the cries of a little girl. Naoto looked and saw it was coming from the clothing store where the mother was taken by Dispider.

He saw the store clerk speaking to the police officers explaining what happened and saw the girl was crying for her mother to return.

Seeing her like that, Naoto clenches his hand.


In his battle in the Mirror World, Knight jumps onto Dispider's body and begins attacking the Mirror Monster with his sword while avoiding some of its counter attacks.

In the real world, Yui was watching Knight's battle via the window he jumped into but that's when he saw Naoto had arrived as he rushed towards her.

"You…" Yui said as she was a bit surprised to see him here.

Naoto stops as he sees Knight's battle against Dispider.

"So the monsters are behind this. Do you know what they really are?" Naoto spoke to Yui, and she answered by shaking her head.

"We're looking into it." Yui said.

"And for your brother?" Naoto questions her.

"Eh?" Yui said but that gave Naoto the answer he needed.

"You are, aren't you?" Naoto said.

Yui lowered her eyes before she looked back at Naoto and answered his question.

"Yes. Because I want to know everything. Because it's not right that someone could just go away, and you never know why. That's why…"

Naoto was silent for a moment before he watched Knight as he attacked Dispider's shoulder with his elbow and attacked its head.

Naoto moves closer to the window while speaking with Yui.

"You think I can fight the way he does?"

"Eh?" Yui said.

"If I became a Kamen Rider again." Naoto said before he stopped.

"Don't do it. If you contract with a monster, you can never go back. You'll be stuck fighting forever." Yui warned him.

Dispider grabs hold of Knight with its arms and attacks the bat Rider's back.

Naoto then heard a familiar dragon's roar. It was almost like it was calling to him and Yui was able to hear it as well.

Despite her warning, Naoto has a strong resolve. He soon pulled out the Seal Card from his jacket's pocket and tore it in half. Yui was surprised by this as she watches as both pieces of the teared Seal Card falls on the ground and fades away.

"What are you doing? Don't you realize that dragon's coming?" Yui said.

"I'm just the kind of guy who has to stick his nose in everywhere." Naoto stated.

Both Naoto and Yui heard the ringing and saw a ripple effect appearing from another window.

Knowing that Dragreder was close, Yui and Naoto turned back to each other. After seeing the smile on his face and the resolve in his eyes, Yui brought out the blank Card Deck she took from him and pulled out the Contract Card.

"Use this card to form a contract with that dragon." Yui told him as she returned the Card Deck to Naoto along with the Contract Card.

After accepting both items, Naoto looks at the Contract Card.


After Knight attacks Dispider on the head, the Mirror Monster grabs onto him and attacks on his back before throwing Knight away and the Rider lands on his feet.

Dispider then attacks Knight by firing large needles from its chest, Knight avoids them before running across the edge of the building and jumps into the air. Dispider used that chance to attack Knight with its spider leg knocking him off of the building and heading to the ground below.

Darkwing comes to his master's aid as it flies and attaches itself onto Knight's back to form the Wingwall to fly.

As Knight was flying, Dispider crawls on the wall of the building as it fires its needles at him as Knight avoids them.


As the ringing grew louder, Naoto knew that Dragreder was coming closer and closer. Naoto looks at the Contract Card before it brings it in front of the wall of windows and Dragreder appears as it flew out of the windows while roaring and soon charges at Naoto in the attempt to devour him.

But the Contract Card emits a bright light as the Mirror Monster was absorbed into it. As the light grew brighter and brighter, Yui was forced to use her arms to shield her eyes as the light completely engulfed Naoto.


With his eyes closed, Naoto was now standing in a dark space before he opened them and saw Dragreder moving around him before it stopped in front of Naoto and roared at him.

Naoto showed no fear and faced Dragreder, accepting his resolve and courage, Dragreder roars before it moves around Naoto and grabs onto him as both human and Mirror Monster merge together.

In their place was Naoto's Kamen Rider Blank Form. That's when a golden dragon symbol and a red jewel appeared on his Card Deck.

Naoto's Blank Form begins to change form. Starting with the Visor, it now changes into the shape of Dragreder's head. The jewel on top of his helmet lit up before the dragon symbol appeared and golden edges that resemble dragon whiskers appeared above the grille. And completing his transformation, Naoto's black bodysuit changes into a bright red color.

This is Naoto's new Kamen Rider form, and his name is…Kamen Rider Ryuki.


Back in the real world, the light finally died down. Yui lowered her arms and saw that Naoto was nowhere to be seen.

Yui looks for any sign of him and soon spotted Ryuki standing inside the mirror in front of her showing that Ryuki is now in the Mirror World.

Ryuki looks at the new card in his hand and it has a picture of Dragreder, showing that the red dragon had become his Contract Monster.


Dispider Reborn continued to fire its needles at the flying Knight as he avoided its attack.

As Knight flew past Dispider, the Mirror Monster fired its web at Knight as it soon grabbed on and entangled his body, and Knight fell to the ground with Dispider pursuing him as it crawled down on the building.

Knight falls to the ground, thankfully for him, his armor gave him protection. But Knight now faced a new problem as he tries to remove the web off of him, Dispider soon landed in front of Knight who is now trapped in its web.

Dispider hissed as it slowly approached Knight to devour him as he struggled to break free.

As Dispider slowly approached Knight and similar to how he died in his past life, several thoughts rushed in his mind. Being raised as Ai's son with his twin sister Ruby, how she died and how he vowed to avenge her death, how he met Shiro Kanzaki and formed a contract with Darkwing to become a Kamen Rider.

'No! I can't die here yet! Not until I find that bastard…Not until I bring Ai back to life!' Knight thought as he still struggles to break free.

Dispider soon fires its needles at Knight to finish him, but coming to his aid in time was Ryuki as he deflected the needles by punching and kicking at them.

Knight was able to recognize the newly formed Ryuki back when he was still in his Blank Form.

"Aren't you…" Knight said.

(Cue: Hatenaki Inochi by Hiroshi Kitadani)

After that, Ryuki faced Dispider as Dragreder appeared as it flew around its master and faced Dispider as well and roared at it.

Knight was surprised by this.

"He formed a contract with that dragon?!" Knight said.

Ryuki then pushed down his newly formed Dragvisor to reveal its card slot. He then pulls out a Card from his Deck which was his Sword Vent Card now having a new image, he then inserts the Card into his Visor and closes it.

[SWORD VENT]

Dragreder roars before the new sword flies towards Ryuki as he catches it in his hand. The sword resembles Dragreder's tail and is similar to a Chinese sword. This is the Dragsaber.

Now armed with his sword, Ryuki roars as he charges at Dispider.

The Mirror Monster fires its large needles at Ryuki, and the dragon Rider deflected its shots using his gauntlet, kicks, and sword.

Ryuki then jumps at Dispider and lands on its spider half, he then slashes the Mirror Monster on its chest twice before Dispider Reborn manages to push Ryuki off of its body.

Ryuki lands on his feet, he then opens his Visor and pulls out his Final Vent Card and inserts the Card into his Visor.

[FINAL VENT]


In the real world, Yui left the building's roof and was walking on the ground looking for Ryuki and soon spotted him in the reflection of a nearby window as he faced Dispider.


Just as Dispider growls at Ryuki, the dragon Rider soon assumes a martial arts stance as Dragreder flew around him before it flew up in the air.

Knight, now free of webbing, was now standing on his feet watching Ryuki.

Ryuki follows his Contract Monster by jumping high in the air before he spun and aimed a kick at Dispider as he heads towards it with Dragreder behind him and Dragreder breathes fire at Ryuki to enhance his speed and kicking power.

Ryuki's fire kick lands onto Dispider which sends the Mirror Monster crashing into the ground before it explodes. Seeing that surprised Knight and Yui.

After Dispider was destroyed, Ryuki took a moment to breath and stand on his feet before Dragreder flew around him.

(End of song)

From its fiery remains, Dispider's core appeared as it rises above the ground. Ryuki looks at it before his Contract Monster, Dragreder, flies to the core and devours it, absorbing Dispider's power and strength with its own.

"What was that all about?" Ryuki said, Knight answered his question while walking towards Ryuki.

"Monsters get stronger by absorbing other monsters." Ryuki turns to the approaching Knight. "The stronger the monster you absorb, the better. That's why I was after your dragon, but…"

"So that's why you were following earlier." Ryuki said.

"But either way, this is perfect. How about we start the Rider Fight, right here and now." Knight said and Ryuki was only confused.

"Right Fight? What are you…?" Ryuki said.

Knight suddenly attacks Ryuki with the grip of his sword as he stumbles back.


(In the real world)

Yui saw that as her eyes widened in shock.

"Aqua! Stop it!" Yui calls out but her voice couldn't reach either of them as Ryuki avoided some sword slashes from Knight.


After Ryuki avoided an incoming thrust, Knight was able to land a strike on Ryuki, sending the dragon Rider to the ground.

"Stop it!" Ryuki said.

But Knight choses not to stop as he swung his sword at Ryuki.
