This is the tale of a boy who sought out a truth he never knew and would go on to become the hero his world needed.

38. Turn 38

KRD: Hey guys! Kamen Rider Duelist and HackerEX here for another chapter of Kamen Rider GX!

HEX: Heads up, there are some minor changes to the border color for Transformation Monsters in chapters 33 and last chapter.

KRD: Not to mention, holy crap! This chapter is the biggest we've ever written! Almost to just about 25k words, including this intro we're doing! I knew we had to big with this chapter but holy crap man!

HEX: Eh, feels medium sized for my writing. Why are you looking at me like that?

KRD: This is medium to you? -_- Do you realize how long we've spent on writing this chapter?!

HEX: Trust me. I've written bigger sometimes.

KRD: Anyways, this took a long time for us to write, but it was well worth it in the end. Also, to preface this, the chapter you're about to read is just pure fighting. No actual Duels, just all-out war.

HEX: But that doesn't mean there's zero Summoning here. We're basically going to pull a Jump Ultimate Stars, or Jump Force for those who know, and basically have our Duelists use their Monsters as attacks.

KRD: Plus, we have a cameo in this chapter. Who you might ask? Well it's-"

HEX: Hey, dude! Not in front of the kids!

KRD: Oh… sorry. Anyways it's-"

?: Ba…ba…booie~

KRD: Did you hear that? o_O?

HEX: What do you mean? It's just the wind, right? *Gives a "Don't make a noise" face*

KRD: *shrug* Well anyways, you readers have waited long enough, it's time for us to get in this chapter. We have two chapters to go and Season 1 will officially be in the books! Stay tuned! You don't wanna miss this!

*CLAP… CLAP… CLAP… CLAP… CLAP… CLAP… CLAP… CLAP…*

"Ugh, what now?" Rex groaned.

They turned towards the sound and sure enough there stood Oogumo. The group got back up and stared at the eyeless cyclops. The battle… isn't over just yet.

"Well done… well done. It seems you've exceeded my expectations with my experiment." Oogumo chuckled. "But alas, I'm not impressed with the results… predictable really."

"Experiment?" Samejima gasped, before his eyes hardened. "Explain yourself!"

"Yeah, what the heck is all this?" Judai added.

"You see, your precious chairman was my latest attempt at another mutation. One I directly had my hands on, rather than having one of my own do the dirty work for me." the eyeless cyclops revealed. "The old fool just wanted to be young, so I thought of amusing myself by helping him."

"By having him fuse with that monster?!" Kuromu snapped.

"You forget that I'm the leader of S.H.O.C.K.E.R, boy! My goal is to conquer the entire multiverse by turning every living being into monsters and unite all of reality onto myself as one being!"

"You… you're trying to make yourself a god?!" Kuromu gasped in horror.

"My, my, quite the accusation."

"Release Lady MacKenzie this instant!" Minerva suddenly shouted, appearing, much to everyone's surprise.

"Tsk, so you still exist." Oogumo clicked his tongue in annoyance. "Unfortunately for you girl, your precious master is still useful to me."

"Bastard! Tell me where she is, right now!" Fubuki roared, being held back by Ryo and Misawa.

"Oh I assure you, she and her brother are safe and sound… for the moment." Oogumo said, "But enough about you. I still need to hear your answer, Kururugi. Do you believe humanity is worth saving?" the eyeless cyclops questioned him.

"I'm a firm believer of second chances!" Kuromu answered. "You may think humans are inherently evil, but the truth is, we're equally capable of being compassionate and kind! To understand one another despite our differences, and especially fighting for what's right when we have the power to do so! We shoulder a great burden, but we carry it gladly because we can support each other no matter how far we've fallen! And we have the potential to become something better so we can make a difference in the world no matter how big or small it may be!" he then stood his ground, "I'd rather be a human who can choose his own path than a monster forced onto one road."

"Shonen…" Takeshi muttered with surprise and wide eyes.

Oogumo shook his head, "Such wasted potential." he sighed, "Very well, if you do not wish to join me, then you shall fall with everyone else on this useless island."

"Hey! Since when did we ever wanna join your club?" Judai asked crossly. "I certainly didn't ask for membership!"

"Yeah, go to hell, you psychopath!" Rex roared in anger.

"If you think you're gonna use our world as an experiment for whatever plan you're cooking up, you've got another thing coming!" Rika said.

"You don't get to decide how we live our lives!" Asuka joined in.

"Hear, hear!" Misawa agreed. "We humans are not mere statistics! We're more alive than ever before!"

Ryo glared at the man, "You truly are scum."

Sho shouted, "You… you're not human!"

"Yeah, you tell 'em!" Junko and Momoe shouted in unison.

"You talk of humanity not being worth saving, but all you really care about is power for yourself!" Annette snapped.

"I've already lost so much while I was away. I will not lose any more!" Fubuki said.

"I can see why the Riders consider you to be their enemy." Instructor Chronos said. "While we humans aren't perfect, that doesn't mean we can't learn from our mistakes!"

Samejima merely shook his head, "All that power, and you wish to use it for selfish reasons."

"Yeah, and besides, there's a lot of us and only one of you." Jun said.

"Do you honestly believe that?"

"Yeah, you and what army?" the ace scoffed.

It was then that a massive Aurora Veil opened, much to their surprise. Coming out of the veil was an army of combatmen. Each one had a black bodysuit from head to toe. The front of their uniform had white lines that resemble a rib cage. They wore black masks that covered their face except for their eyes and mouth that had white white bordering around him. All of them also wore an oversized silver belt that had S.H.O.C.K.E.R's emblem.

"EEE!" They all shouted in unison, doing a salute long forbidden since WWII.

The mutt looked at Jun with disappointment, "You just had to say it."

"Who are these freaks?" Koji asked.

"This is my army." Oogumo chuckled. "My S.H.O.C.K.E.R Combatmen. As the Kamen Rider had explained to you beforehand, they are stronger and faster than the average human. So they have no problem overpowering all of you."

Kuromu quickly looked towards his friends, "Everyone, summon your monsters! Quick!"

"I THINK NOT!" Oogumo shouted, releasing a crescent wave of dark energy, striking them. All of them voiced their cries of pain, before falling to their knees. "None of you and those on this wretched rock of an island will leave here alive! GET THEM!"

"EEE!" The S.H.O.C.K.E.R Combatmen cried out, before marching forward.

Realizing things were dire, Tsukasa, Takeshi, and Ryotaro quickly ran past the students and quickly prepared to transform.

"Momotaros!" Ryotaro called out.

"I'm on it!" Momotaros said, before possessing him. Afterwards, Ryotaro-Red equipped the Den-O belt around his waist and pressed the red button while Tsukasa equipped the DecaDriver and drew his main transformation card into it.

*SHING!*

"Henshin!"

SWORD FORM!

KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!

"RAIDAAAAAAA… HENSHIN! TOOOOH!"

Now transformed, Den-O, Decade, and Ichigo leaped into action and began attacking the monsters, mowing down hoards of grunts while the students recovered.

"They're buying us some time." Kuromu noted as he quickly drew out three Monster Cards, "Now, let's go! Shizuka-sensei! Shotaro-san, Phillip-san! Minerva-chan!"

Judai nodded as the others did the same, "Come on out, Featherman! Burst Lady! Woodsman! Ocean!"

"Scramble! Steamroid! Gyroid!" Sho called out.

"Dicaerii, Bestrouli, Lacquer, Murmullo, Alexander! Standby for battle!" Rex declared.

"Come forth, Light and Darkness Dragon!" Jun declared. "Ojama Yellow, Green, and Black, you're up too! Initiate Ojama Ride!"

"DJ Flame, Tornado Hippie, and Groove Stone, time to strut our stuff!" Koji shouted.

"Hydrogeddon! Oxygeddon! Go forth!" Misawa added.

"Cyber Dragons, rise!" Ryo called out.

"Red-Eyes Darkness Dragon, I call upon you!" Fubuki said.

"Etoile Cyber, Blade Skater, Cyber Tutu, help me out!" Asuka said.

"Now serving Sir Dumpling, Shrimp Daddy, Dim Sumthin' Special and Burnt Meatballs!" Rika declared.

"Gem-Knight Lapis, Gem-Knight Lazuli! Shine bright!" Annette called out.

Junko and Momoe looked nervous as they looked to their decks, "Should we?" the flirt asked.

"Yeah, they need our help." Junko said, taking out a few cards. "Amazoness Holy Warrior, Amazon Sword Woman, Amazon Archer, and Amazon Fighter!"

Momoe sighed, "Come forth! Dragontail Lucias! Dragontail Fymena!"

"Antique Gear Golem, Antique Gear Soldiers, and Antique Gear Beast!" Chronos finished.

Suddenly, several female monsters appeared alongside the gaggle of other summoned creatures.

For Junko, she summoned forth a beautiful tanned woman wearing a cream white robe and skit that had feathers adorned on it, a young woman with a black jacket with red fur-lining, a brown skirt and a bow, and a muscular woman wearing bands with red, black, and blue around her forehead, wrists, and thighs alongside her fur bra and skirt.

Momoe on the other hand summoned a white-haired mage with a monochrome shirt, silver armguards alongside detached black sleeves, a long white skirt that had a black gradient at the end, and a long silver and black dragon tail, and a sultry blue-haired mage wearing a black and white dress that had a blue sash fastened by a blue teardrop-shaped gem two long coattails on the back on the dress, and a long and slender white dragon tail.

Upon observing the group of monsters before him, the S.H.O.C.K.E.R Leader scoffed, "It's pathetic to look at what you need to mimic a fraction of my power. It does not matter, as you will all die either way!"

Turn 38: Oogumo's Declaration of War! A Hero is Born!

At the same time…

"Good, it's finally finished." Yukina sighed after wiping the sweat off of her brow.

For someone who was supposed to be the high epitome of a housewife, her current attire said otherwise. Her hair was somewhat frazzled, her lab coat and clothes had plenty of stains, soot marks, and tears, and her desk was littered with cups of coffee alongside store-bought coffee bottles that were scattered on the floor.

She had just finished creating what could finally turn the tide in this world's favor. After weeks of fine tuning what needed to be fixed, issues that needed to be solved, it was finally complete. She wouldn't have been able to finish it without the help of her husband and the Tenjoins.

During her time away from Academia Island, she had been in contact with Aruto via Tsukasa, and had used their technology to make significant progress on the project until it was complete.

"Finally achieved it?" Kyoshiro asked her as she nodded.

"Yes. All I need to do is energize it with Duel Energy, and we'll finally have our weapon against S.H.O.C.K.E.R." the Kururugi matriarch affirmed.

The Kururugi patriarch's eyes widened with surprise as he looked over and saw the completed project. "Yukina… this is-"

"Yes." she confirmed, "What better way to harness the power of Duel Energy than this? All we need to do is energize the rest and it should be-"

Before she could finish her sentence, all of Yukina's devices and instruments began to blink rapidly while also letting out some kind of alarm.

"It… can't be…" Yukina said wide-eyed.

"What's wrong, Yukina?" Kyoshiro asked as the Kururugi matriarch rushed over to the computer and typed rapidly.

"My systems are detecting a massive spike in Duel Energy." she muttered while examining the new influx of data, seeing a series of symbols consisting of the familiar Fusion vortex, a fire on a pedestal, the Synchro gates, the Overlay network, a pendant, and a circuit with eight arrows, "I'm trying to decipher it."

It's then that the computer finally finished analyzing the data as the rapidly changing symbols finally landed on one, and it was of a masked helmet with the word TRANSFORMATION appearing below it.

"What?" Yukina gasped, caught off guard. "A new… Summoning method? No… No, that's not possible!" She said, typing furiously to make sure that it wasn't a faulty reading. But sure enough, all prompts to re-examine the data came up with the same answer.

"Transformation Summon?" Kyoshiro uttered out in shock, "Hold on, that's Kuromu's alternate Fusion Summoning style!" He realized.

"Kuromu?" Yukina gasped again. She then typed on the computer for the source of the energy spike and the screen changed to a map. Sure enough, the source came from Academia Island. Yukina couldn't help but let out a tired but proud giggle. "Like father, like son." She remarked.

"Eh?" Kyoshiro said, confused.

"I think our son made history." Yukina revealed as Kyoshiro quickly looked over the data himself.

"What- that's- this can't be right!" Kyoshiro gawked, holding the computer with both hands, his head leaning closer towards the screen, before looking at his wife incredulously. "Are you sure?!"

She nodded, "It's confirmed, it is from the island, and there's only one boy we know who exclusively uses Transformation Summoning more than any other Extra Deck type. But that's not all." She then looked towards the other signal that popped up minutes later.

"That's-" Kyoshiro got out before his wife quickly packed her creation away into a suitcase, "Wait, most of those aren't complete yet! And we only have one working prototype and it isn't even energized!"

"But we need to get to the island now!" Yukina reminded him. "S.H.O.C.K.E.R has arrived!"

"Haaaah?! But those plans-"

"That's likely why they're on the island. Oogumo is done playing nice!" The Kururugi matriarch exclaimed before taking out a card and throwing it forward, creating a large card-shaped portal for the Kururugis to enter through.

"Wait… you got that fixed?" Kyoshiro gasped.

"Sadly it only allows you and me to travel anywhere in this world." She confirmed, "I cannot travel between worlds with it, it's too damaged and I don't have the technology to fully repair it."

"Meaning?"

"Unfortunately, once we arrive, it will be the general vicinity." Yukina said. "Meaning that we still have to run towards the fighting."

"Take us with you."

Yukina and Kyoshiro looked surprised to see that Akihiro and Chiyomi stood in front of them. They had been staying with the Kururugis as unofficial guards while Yukina worked on the project.

"Do you all have your decks ready?" She asked.

Kyoshiro nodded, "It's time the Poker King made his grand return." he declared.

"And the Gravity Crusher along with him." Akihiro added.

Chiyomi shook her head, "Sadly I do not have my Deck on hand."

Yukina then dug into her pocket and gave her a deck box, "Here, use one of mine."

The Tenjoin matriarch looked into the deck box and was shocked at what she found, "But, but this was your deck when you were a teenager. Are you sure you want to let me handle them?"

Yukina nodded, "If there was anyone I would trust them with, it would be you."

Chiyomi stared at her for a while, before nodding, "I understand. I'll put them to good use."

It's then that Kyoshiro, Akihiro, and Chiyomi took out their respective Battle City Duel Disks and put them on. However, Yukina instead took out a white device with a circular body that had four laterally-placed slots and a small hourglass-shaped touchscreen. When she placed it on her wrist, the screen lit up with the words DUEL MODE as a hard light blade in the shape of an insect wing materialized.

"Alright everyone… let's go! Those children need our help!" Yukina said determined.

---

Back on the island, it was complete chaos as monsters both summoned from cards and brought to this world by the Aurora Curtain waged war on one another. As the Antique Gear Golem stomped on a group of S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts, several more began flying towards it to kamikaze bomb the ancient giant.

"Since when can humans turn into living missiles?!" Instructor Chronos shouted.

*BOOOOM!*

"Ahhh!" He crouched down in fear, covering himself, after hearing an explosion.

When a few grunts came for the professor, they were swiftly all knocked away by Rex delivering a leaping dropkick at full speed.

"Bestrouli! Help Judai's monsters keep the sky of skull luchadors off our backs!" Rex called out as he zipped past several monsters trying to attack him and destroy his Duel Disk.

When several grunts leaped at him, the mutt quickly grabbed one of the prone grunts and used him as a weapon to smack away each one that lunged at him. Afterwards, Rex kicked the last grunt a way and tossed the grunt he weaponized at him, dusting his hands off in the end.

"Gonna need that boost then!" Bestrouli shouted, getting his summoner's attention.

"You got it!" the mutt affirmed as he quickly delivered a lariat to an incoming grunt before drawing Lanista's card. He briefly stopped as he closed his eyes, 'I really hope this works…' he thought before declaring, "I play United Gladial Beast to shuffle Gladial Beast Bestrouli and Gladial Beast Lanista back to my Deck for a Contact Fusion!"

To his shock, the two avian gladiators flew up to the sky and began to merge. Thinking quickly, the mutt began his summoning chant.

"Time to spread the wings of freedom and claim victory!"

Soon, Gyzarus emerged, ready for battle to the combatants' shock.

"It worked!" Rex cheered before clearing his throat and finishing his chant, "Contact Fusion! Take flight, Gladial Beast Gyazarus!"

"Alright! Let's knock these bozos out!" Gyazarus cheered, before flying off.

Rex then turned towards Laquari, Dicaerii, and Murmullo, "Let's go again! I shuffle back Gladial Beast Laquer, Gladial Beast Dicaerii, and Gladial Beast Murmillo to perform another Contact Fusion!"

Soon, it was the tiger gladiator's turn to merge with his fellow Gladial Beasts.

"Take a stand and burn bright with the flames of courage!"

Soon, Laquari quickly emerged now donned in what looked to be a new set of armor that merged many pieces of his fellow gladiators together, alongside a battle axe and a shield, as well as two wings akin to Alexander's.

"Contact Fusion! Gladial Beast Heraklinos!"

With two Contact Fusions complete, the evolved amazon gladiator and evolved tiger gladiator took to the skies to begin cutting through hordes of airborne troopers, with Gyzarus firing off blast after blast from his arm cannons, while Heraklinos flew in and wildly slashed through several more using his new axe.

"Ahhhhhhh, someone help!" Sho panicked, running away from a group of S.H.O.C.K.E.R Troopers as his two summoned Roid monsters were busy fending off two more platoons. "Truckroid, do something!" He said, slapping the card on the tray. The cartoon truck appeared and, with a blare of its horn, it ran them over the ones that were chasing him.

"You do realize that you're sending those guys to some other world, right?" Rex pointed out, "Making them another world's problem, as if we aren't already despairing over them wanting multiversal conquest."

"Oh… whoops." The Roid Duelist muttered.

The two soon felt the ground shake as they looked and saw a large amount of grunts coming for them.

"Sho, I think it's time for a Fusion!" The mutt yelped.

"G-Got it!" Sho affirmed before drawing a few cards, "I play Fusion to first merge Steamroid and Gyroid together!"

Quickly, the two cartoon vehicles got ready to combine.

"Gyroid, Steamroid! Link up and unite!"

Once they combined into their merged form the cartoon train-copter let out a powerful bellow of it's chimney.

"Fusion Summon! Complete, Steam Gyroid!"

Sho was surprised, but he wasn't done yet, "Next, I play Vehicroid Connection Zone to merge Truckroid with Steam Gyroid!"

Suddenly, as the two Roids came together, they instead became a portal that brought out the large base Sho saw in his dream to reality.

"Scramble! Heed my call, giant of Vehicroid City!"

That was when the giant base began to transform, becoming a huge mecha the size of Antique Gear Chaos Giant with two large arms made up of bridges and legs that used to be the main base. As the head emerged, the transformed base quickly clenched its fist before posing.

"Mega Fusion! Complete, Super Vehicroid - Mobile Base!"

Rex and Instructor Chronos were, understandably, in awe of the machine's size as it quickly began assisting the latter's signature giant in fending off the grunts.

---

Meanwhile, Koji and Misawa were back to back, with their monsters attacking the hoard of S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts.

"Think you can handle this many, Koji?" Misawa asked.

"Well… might be tough if one more shows up." Koji answered.

"Hmph, then that'll have to be the one I take care of." Misawa smirked.

"What, you're fighting too?" Koji joked.

"Hey guys!" Rika called out to the boys. "I think I saw Rex use Contact Fusion! Looks like we can use Summoning Techniques out of Duels!"

"What?! How?!" the genius asked.

"Like this!" the chef declared, "I shuffle back Fighting Foodon - Sir Dumpling, Fighting Foodon - Shrimp Daddy, Fighting Foodon - Dim Sumthin' Special, and Fighting Foodon - Burnt Meatballs to perform a Contact Fusion!"

To the disco fan and genius' surprise, the Contact Fusion was working despite the chef not being in an active Duel.

"Hope you're hungry, it's time for a spicy treat!"

Soon, the dragon Foodon made its grand entrance, letting out a powerful roar.

"Contact Fusion! Now serving, Deluxe Fighting Foodon - Feastivus!"

She then smirked, "And now that I got my field mostly clear, now serving Super Fried Ricer, Omelet, Fruit Turtle, and Palator, the Embodiment of Good!"

Quickly, each of Rika's signature Foodons joined the dragon Foodon in battle.

"Dyn-o-mite! I've been wanting to do a few Fusion dances!" Koji cheered, before taking out a few cards. "Aight, I use Fusion to merge Boogie Knights Vassal - Groovy Blacksmith and Boogie Knights Vassal - Tech Head together!"

The Fusion vortex emerged for the two vassals, one a brown skinned young man with a big afro, a white vest, white bell bottoms and platforms, and his left arm replaced by a laser gun and the other being another dark gray skinned man dressed in a black armored leisure suit carrying a hammer, to quickly enter into.

"Let's mix the tunes of tomorrow with the grooves of today!"

From the Fusion vortex, an evolved version of Tech Head emerged, now with much more cybernetics on his body and even a turntable coming out of his chest.

"Fusion Summon! Boogie Knights Vassal - Mixmaster Cyborg!"

"In that case, I will use Bonding - H2O to fuse my two Hydrogeddon and Oxygeddon!

"Aquatic dragons of the ocean, rock the seas themselves with your roar!"

The two water-like dragons soon became water and reformed into their serpent-like form that let out a mighty roar.

"Formula complete, Water Dragon!"

The two were surprised that the use of Special Summoning still worked outside of Duels; especially since unlike in a Duel, they could just top deck what they needed at a moment's notice.

"Okay guys, let's kick some major butt already!" Rika urged. "Super Fried Ricer, let 'em have it!"

"Fried Ricer!" The lobster fried rice dish cried out as he rushed a group of S.H.O.C.K.E.R Combatmen, whacking them with his two spoons.

"Omeleeeeeeeeeet!" The egg Foodon cried out, shooting a laser from her mouth.

"Fruit Turtle!" The fruit platter shelled turtle unleashed a sonic wave at a group of grunts, sending them flying.

"Fireballs of Good!" Palator declared, unleashing several of them, to blow away more of the S.H.O.C.K.E.R combatmen.

"DJ Flame, Tornado Hippie, Groove Stone, hit us up with some EARTH, WIND, and FIRE!" Koji said.

"You got it, baby!" Tornado Hippie said, as she strummed her guitar to gain some wind, before blasting them with a cyclone.

"Outta' the frying pan and into the fire!" DJ Flame laughed before unleashing a pillar of flames.

"This is gonna rock their world!" Groove Stone said, before bashing his shield with the bottom tip of it, unleashing a wave of rocks.

Meanwhile, Water Dragon was whipping around the battlefield, devouring grunt after grunt in a rampage. It then released a heavily pressurized stream of water, washing away the grunts.

The four elemental attacks then converged and took out a good chunk of Oogumo's forces. As the three Duelists watched the fireworks, Rika turned to little Foodon.

"Omelet, tell the others that we can use Summoning Techniques!" She called out.

"Omelet! Omelet!" The egg Foodon said, before bouncing off.

"Fried Ricer, go with her to keep her safe."

"Fried Ricer!" The rice Foodon saluted before joining Omelet.

---

In another area, the Ojama Trio were piloting the three Union Machines alongside Jun and Annette, who were riding Light and Darkness Dragon with Lapis and Lazuli flying close by.

"Enemies comin' in hot!" Ojama Green reported to Ojama Yellow.

"Boss, what's your order?!" Ojama Yellow asked.

"Blast them away!" Jun ordered.

"You got it! Green, Black, Delta Formation!"

"Got it!" The other two Ojamas affirmed before firing their respective mecha's weapons at the incoming S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts.

"Omelet! Omelet!"

Jun soon looked up to find Omelet and Fried Ricer arriving at the scene, "What are those side dishes doing here?"

"Omelet! Omelet!" The egg Foodon quickly reported to the ace.

"Translation?" Jun asked one of the Ojamas.

"She's saying you can Special Summon out of Duels! Rex, Koji, Rika, and Misawa have already Fusion Summoned their monsters!" Ojama Black translated.

"Then let's not let them show us up!" Jun chuckled before looking at Annette, "Ready to go babe?"

"Oh you know it, mon ami." Annette smirked, flashing her archetype's Fusion spell.

The ace chuckled before looking at the Union Machines, "I banish my X-Head Cannon, Y-Dragon Yearhead, and Z-Metal Caterpillar to perform a Contact Fusion!"

"Green, Black, XYZ Gattai!" Ojama Yellow called out.

"Right!" The other two declared before initiating the combination sequence.

"Combination confirmed! Merge into one, united A-to-Z machines!"

Soon, the combined dragon mecha made itself known as the Ojamas' seats reached the main shared cockpit.

"Contact Fusion! Go, XYZ-Dragon Cannon!"

Annette was next, "I play Gem-Knight Fusion to merge Gem-Knight Lapis and Gem-Knight Lazuli!"

The two golem sisters entered the gem-like Fusion vortex which XYZ-Dragon Cannon and Light and Darkness Dragon fiercely defended on both sides.

"Loving sisters of the Pyroxene, unite your hearts into a maiden of brilliance to shine brighter than all!"

The merged version of the sisters then appeared, saving the Ojamas from an incoming flux of S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts flying towards them via tossing out a Gem Buster.

"Fusion Summon! Shine forth, Gem-Knight Lapis Lazuli!"

"Nice work," Jun grinned. "Alright Light and Darkness Dragon, blow them away with Chaos Stream!"

The half-and-half dragon roared in affirmation before firing its beam attack to take out scores of grunts.

"Okay, it's our turn!" Ojama Yellow said.

"We'll blast them away with one hit!" Ojama Green added.

"Here we go!" Ojama Black said.

"Yellow!"

"Green!"

"Black!"

Suddenly, XYZ-Dragon Cannon's mouth began to glow the colors typically associated with the Ojama Delta Hurricane. The cannons on its shoulders powered up, while the metal dragon head opened its maw, gathering energy. The cannon on the tank popped out from the treads, extending themselves, before powering up too.

"OJAMA DELTA HYPER DESTRUCTION!"

After punching the controls, the merged dragon mecha fired out a large yellow, green, and black energy discus that began slicing through many of the S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts flying in the air, as well as firing the cannons that blew any other S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts that survived the energy discus.

"Ara…" Annette murmured in shock.

"You guys are both the best and worst things to happen to me." Jun groaned as he slapped his palm to his face. Yet the smile he couldn't shake off showed he wouldn't have it any other way.

---

"Alright girls, stick close to me!" Asuka called out as she led Junko, Momoe, and their monsters into the fray.

"This is insane! Kyah!" Momoe cried out, as she unintentionally tripped forward and fell, despite not knowing that a S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunt tried to kill with her machete from behind.

When she turned around, the grunt was looking down on her, ready strike.

"EEE!"

"AHHHHH!" Momoe freaked out, as the blade came down and-

*CLANG!*

Luckily, one of her monsters, Lucias, arrived and blocked the blade with her own staff alongside Blade Skater. The white armored dragon mage turned to her Duelist and gave a nod.

"T-Thank you for the save." She thanked the two.

"Omelet! Omelet!" Asuka soon heard Omelet call to her as she saw the egg Foodon and Super Fried Ricer arrive.

"Omelet?" Asuka blinked. "What's up?"

"Omelet! Omelet!"

"Fried Ricer!"

"What are they saying?" Junko asked.

"I think they're saying we can use Special Summons out of Duels." Asuka said.

"How can you tell?" Junko asked.

The girls then felt the ground shake as they looked up and saw Mobile Base, a Fusion Monster, fighting against S.H.O.C.K.E.R's army.

"I think that answers your question." Asuka said, before her instincts kicked in, and blocked a machete with her Duel Disk.

"EEE!"

"Ergh… get off!" Asuka snapped, kicking the grunt away, another one tried to go for her, but pivoted away and did a fast roundhouse kick to the grunt's head. "Hyah!"

She then began firing off a rapid series of kicks towards a few more grunts before catching an incoming punch with her free hand. The Obelisk Queen delivered a shoulder check to the grunt for his troubles, then went to punch a few more to the jaws, backhanding some, then doing several palm strikes to their chest, kicking them afterwards.

"Wow, your training with Rika in the octagon really paid off." Momoe commented.

"You should have seen Kuromu spar with Koji, Judai, and Rex, they're monsters in battle." Asuka pointed out, shivering in fear of just how… savage the sparring sessions tend to get.

"Oh we can imagine." Junko smirked with a blush, thinking about how hot and heavy Koji would go when sparring with his friends.

"Hey, we're fighting for our lives here! No daydreaming!" Momoe huffed, making the two snap out of their thoughts.

"Right, sorry," Asuka apologized. When she saw that the field was clear, the Obelisk performed her summon. "I play Machine Angel Ritual to sacrifice Etoilé Cyber and Blade Skater to perform a Ritual Summon!"

After assisting the Amazonesses and Dragontail mages, the two Cyber Girls quickly entered the flames. When the grunts tried to stop the Ritual Summon, the flames erupted.

"Skater of the digital realm, be reborn as an angel flying under the stars!"

Asuka's ace monster then emerged and finished off the grunts that tried to interrupt her summon.

"Ritual Summon! Cyber Angel Blader - Konohana!"

"Woah! That was so cool!" Junko cheered.

"C'mon you two, let's keep going!" Asuka urged.

"Right!" They cheered before marching on.

Ryo and Fubuki were riding their respective dragons into battle against the S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts, flying and dodging the incoming human missiles and firing back when they saw an opening.

"We're gonna get hit if this keeps up!" Fubuki called out.

That's when Ryo saw Mobile Base and Antique Gear Golem swatting away several more grunts.

"Is that… Sho?" Ryo said wide-eyed, recognizing the Fusion Monster.

"Forget that! Look down there!" Fubuki pointed at someone. They saw Principal Samejima who was surrounded by S.H.O.C.K.E.R Grunts. "We have to save him!"

The two dragon Duelists quickly ordered their dragons to fly in.

"Goodness… this isn't how I wanted to go out." Samejima grunted, backing away from the grunts that were closing in. But just as they were about to attack the principal, both third years arrived and had their dragons fire their breath attacks to melt the grunts into nothing.

"Marufuji, Tenjoin." The principal sighed in relief.

"Are you alright, principal?" Fubuki asked after getting down from their dragons and approached the older man.

"Thanks to you two." Samejima said gratefully, then looked around. "This is sheer madness. I'm surprised these skeletons haven't marched onward towards the school."

"It seems they're more focused on killing us first than invading." Ryo sighed before noticing two of Rika's signature monsters arrive.

"Omelet!" The egg Foodon called out.

"I guess they're here to tell us about why Mobile Base is here." Fubuki guessed.

"That means Special Summoning still works outside of Dueling." Ryo interpreted, looking towards the clues on the battlefield.

"Then let's not waste anymore time." Samejima said. "We have to ensure that none of these freaks get past us."

"Right." Ryo and Fubuki nodded.

The Kaiser was up first, "I play Power Bond to merge all three copies of Cyber Dragon together!"

The silver metallic dragon glowed and crackled with electricity as they fused as one.

"Silver serpents of metal, power up and fire your blast across my foes!"

Soon, the three-headed dragon mecha let out its mechanical roar after its fusion was completed.

"Fusion Summon! Complete, Cyber End Dragon!"

Fubuki also wasted no time in drawing the two cards he needed, "I play Fusion to merge Red-Eyes Black Dragon and Meteor Dragon!"

The black armored dragon quickly flew into the vortex with the stone dragon.

"Harbinger of the apocalypse, unleash your rage upon my foes and smite them all!"

From the vortex, the merged meteor dragon landed with a powerful thud and joined Cyber End Dragon in roaring.

"Fusion Summon! Meteor Black Dragon!"

With the two merged dragons summoned, Ryo and Fubuki returned to fighting off S.H.O.C.K.E.R's forces.

---

"Whew, this is a lot." Judai muttered as he and Kuromu were still keeping many of the grunts coming for them down.

"No kidding." Kuromu said, as he punched a few grunts away in a flurry then did a roundhouse kick to another. "And the Kamen Riders fought like this on a daily basis. We're only getting a taste of it- yahhh!" He shouted when he unleashed a haymaker on another grunt.

It's then that Judai quickly leaped up and performed a Hurricarana on one grunt, sending him straight into Kuromu's leaping uppercut.

The two felt the ground shake before looking up to see Mobile Base and all of the other flying Fusion Monsters battling in the sky.

"Whoa, did Sho summon that?!" Judai gawked.

"Sounds like it. Meaning you can Special Summon outside of Duels." Kuromu said wide-eyed before drawing Final Henshin, now sporting the theater mask symbol by the Spell Card name. "Now we just gotta- LOOK OUT!" He shouted when he pushed Judai out of the way as a crescent wave of dark energy hit him straight on, sending him to the ground. "GAHHHH!"

"Kuromu!" Judai cried out. Moments later, he too was sent flying by the same energy, tumbling to the ground next to him. "GAHHHH!"

Oogumo walked forward, approaching them. "All of this could've been avoided, you know. All you had to do was surrender, but no, you decided to waste your life fighting a war you could never hope to win."

FULL CHARGE!

FINAL ATTACK RIDE! D-D-D-DECADE!

JOKER: MAXIMUM DRIVE!

"RIDER KICK!"

"Hyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!" The four Riders dived down for the Rider Kicks at Oogumo, who jumped out of the way, missing their target.

"Damn cyclops, hold still!" Den-O shouted before the Riders charged at Oogumo and continued their fight with each other.

"Kuromu/Sir Judai!" Silent Magician and Minerva rushed over to them and used their magic to heal them.

"Are you alright, my apprentice?" Shizuka asked.

"Hurt… but I've been through worse…" Kuromu grunted.

"Alright. I'll buy you some time!" Judai declared, "I play my first copy of Fusion to merge Elemental HERO Featherman and Elemental HERO Burst Lady!"

The two heroes of wind and fire appeared and both jumped into the vortex that formed above them.

"Rise up, my favorite HERO!"

Soon, Flame Wingman flew out of the vortex and fired off several Flame Shoot attacks at the incoming grunts.

"Fusion Summon! Elemental HERO Flame Wingman!"

"You there! Kill that boy before he performs another Fusion Summon!" The mouthless cyclops ordered a couple more grunts as he kept on the defense from the other Riders.

"EEE!"

"Oh no, you don't!" Judai declared as he quickly kicked a grunt and used another to leap into the air, "I play my second copy of Fusion to merge Elemental HERO Forestman and Elemental HERO Ocean!"

The vortex remained opened as next came the two components of the lone Legendary Planet HERO.

"Arise, champion of Mother Nature!"

Terra Firma soon arrived and quickly brought its Magma Sword down on the grunts trying to kill its Duelist.

"Fusion Summon! Elemental HERO Terra Firma!"

'Alright one more! But with Oogumo's goons keeping the pressure up, I'm not sure if me or Kuromu will have time for a Special Summon.' the Elemental HERO Duelist thought before turning to Kuromu, "Kuro! How's your Special Summoning going!"

"Going fine now! Thanks for the extra time!" the Rider Duelist thanked him, "Now, I play Final Henshin to send Kamen Rider W to the Graveyard and summon a Transformation Monster!" Kuromu knew that calling the Riders' Final Forms by Transformation Monster rather than Fusion Monster like before will take some time to get used to.

*WHOOOOOOT! WHOOOT! ERRR-EEEEE!*

Thankfully, the shrill cry of the Xtreme Memory distracted the grunts long enough for Judai to quickly get his last Fusion Summon ready.

"I play Miracle Fusion to banish Elemental HERO Flame Wingman and Elemental HERO Terra Firma and perform a Fusion Summon!"

The Fusion vortex quickly shined a bright white after both of Judai's ace monsters flew into it.

"Arise and take on the power of Mother Nature, my favorite HERO!"

Soon, Terra Wingman in the nick of time, blocking an incoming dark blast from Oogumo with his two weapons.

"Fusion Summon! Come forth, Elemental HERO Terra Wingman!"

*WHOOOOOOT! WHOOOT!*

Everyone looked up to see the large silver and gold and black bird-like Memory fly in and head towards W.

"Oi, Philip!" Shotaro said.

"Ah, let's do it." Philip agreed.

*WHOOOOOOT! WHOOOT! ERRR-EEEEE! FERRRRRWEEEEE!*

The Double Driver buckle straightened and energy streams from the Cyclone and Joker Memories shot skyward, connecting with the Extreme Memory. It flew downward and connected with the Double Driver before spreading apart revealing an 'X' emblem.

XTREME!

The silver stripe going down Double's body lit up as holographic numbers and letters gathered towards the Rider which then W used his hands to pull apart the line of light in between his body and expanded said line into a wide iridescent band. All of this while the epic music played.

"Henshin Shōkan! Kamen Rider W - Xtreme Form!"

"Kuso, I'm not gonna get one-upped like this!" Den-O snapped before taking out his K-Taros.

3 6 9 #

MOMO URA KIN RYUU!

"Pile on everyone!" Den-O said, before pressing the button on the side then attaching it to the belt.

CLIMAX FORM!

The train Rider quickly entered his Chō Climax Form, to Momotaros' chagrin, before they quickly returned to the battlefield.

"Mattaku… might as well." Decade sighed, before taking out his K-Touch

Kuromu knew what that meant and drew another copy of Final Henshin to play and activate the device.

KUUGA! AGITO! RYUKI! FAIZ! BLADE! HIBIKI! KABUTO! DEN-O! KIVA!

FINAL KAMEN RIDE! DECADE!

He then swapped out the central unit of his DecaDriver for this new device, placing the unit to the left side of his belt. As the transformation happened, Decade's card appeared on top of his helmet and the nine other cards of the other Kamen Riders appeared from shoulder to shoulder across his torso on his armor while his armor turned silver and the lenses on his eyes changed color to magenta.

"Henshin Shōkan! Kamen Rider Decade - Complete Form!"

"Tsk, I should have disabled those stupid devices when I had the chance!" Oogumo snarled as he saw the influx of gladiators, Foodons, amazonesses, dragons, and the like were whittling down his forces due to their mixed abilities covering way too many bases.

"RIDER PUNCH!" Ichigo shouted as Oogumo was forced to dodge the incoming attack. "Give up S.H.O.C.K.E.R! You will not take over this world as you please!"

"Never!" Oogumo roared "You will not stop me from realizing my ambitions! You can't stop me! No one can!" He then called out, "Grunt Generals! Activate your watches!" He ordered.

"Nani?!" Ichigo gasped as twenty grunts, who wore red and black uniforms as opposed to the skeletal luchador outfits, raised up what looked to be… Ridewatches?

All hell broke loose as bursts of dark energy sprang up across the battlefield. Everyone stopped at what they were doing, friend and foe alike, as they all saw the dark energies that surrounded the area. Moments later, the dark energies dispersed and revealed something truly horrifying.

Standing in front of everyone were horrific and corrupted versions of what appeared to be the Heisei Kamen Riders. These monstrous aberrations seem to be a hybrid between their host Rider and their monster contemporaries. They are finished off with having their creation year on their bodies along with their names.

---

With Instructor Chronos, Rex, and Sho, they stood down three different Another Riders. The Antique Gear Duelist faced off against an Another Rider that resembled Fourze. It was white with yellow markings, having a triangular head with bat wings, and four bumps that contained the same symbols as Fourze's Modules. It also had around its waist a large blue object that vaguely resembled the Fourze Driver. However, what clued the two Riders into its true identity was the name FOURZE on its right shoulder, and the year 2011 on its left.

For Sho, his Another Rider opponent was one that had several pieces of red scraps that resembled armor. The name DRIVE on its chest plate along with the year 2014 written on his left shoulder, a large dented car door was strapped to his left arm with several safety sates wrapped around it. Its head was designed to barely resemble the original Rider's helmet, as it contained a very human-looking face.

But for Rex, his was the weirdest as he came face to face with a white under base, a metallic set of silver chest armor with white highlights. A spine-like front part and the year 2018 was displaced at the center, two arms were padded along with a pair of Watch Holders that housed other Another Watches.

However it was his face that the young king couldn't forget. It resembled that of a skinless human face that was protected, apart from the mouth, by a glass-like helmet. It had two crooked clock hands along with the monster's name, ZI-O on the left and the year 2018 on the right side of the helmet and again on the forehead where a personal symbol would have been.

"Mama mia…" Instructor Chronos muttered.

"Wha… what is that thing?!" Sho gasped.

"I…" Rex muttered as he stepped away, in, what felt like to him, his own heart screaming for him to run.

---

Koji and Misawa turned around to find a monstrous samurai Another Rider, with a wooden plate that had a knife, and a strange helmet that resembled a shogun mask. The name GAIM was on one shoulder while the year 2013 was on the other shoulder pad. The other Another Rider had a red and blue color scheme, with one side resembling a mutated rabbit while the other looked like a tank-like machine. Around his waist was a series of black objects that resembled a belt, topped by some kind of device with a large crank.

The monster's eyes were cracked, covered by two glass-like coverings vaguely resembling a rabbit's ear and a tank's barrel, and a large set of teeth. Finally, there was the name BUILD on its chest and the year 2017 on the back.

"Holy shit…" the disco fan muttered.

"My word…" Misawa gasped.

---

Jun and Annette soon came face to face with their own Another Rider opponents. The ace saw an Another Rider who had red veins all around the body with an exposed ribcage and yellow membrane underneath a set of wolf-like teeth, covering two beady eyes. The two shoulders were named FAIZ and the year 2003 respectively.

On the other hand, the thief was staring down an Another Rider with a black design and orange chained arms. There was an eye in the center of his chest, and an orange face with black eyes. A large horn protruded out his forehead, having silver hair, and a strange device that also had an eye on it. It sported the name GHOST and the year 2015 on the back of its macabre jacket.

"The hell is that?" Jun gasped.

"Oh… oh my…" Annette whimpered in fear.

---

"Kyaaa!" Junko screamed as she and Momoe hugged Asuka while they stepped away from the Another Riders that appeared before them.

The middle-most one was an Another Rider that looked very much like a horror version of Emu's Rider form created by the Yautja race. It had long dreadlocks and small beady eyes. The name EX-AID on the chest, with the year 2016 on the back.

There were two other Another Riders flanking it. One came with large tiger-like claws, humanoid grasshopper legs, and a head that had two wings perturbing from it. It had crazy green eyes and a chest symbol that bore the OOO name along with a twisted version of the TaToBa symbol and the year 2010 on its back.

The other Another Rider was mostly different shades of green, with gold bands around the wrists and ankles, and a monstrous version of Agito's helmet. The name AGITO, with the Omega symbol replacing the O, and the year 2001 were on the left and right pecs of its fake muscles.

"What the heck are those things!?"

---

Ryo, Fubuki, and Samejima glared down at their Another Rider counterparts.

The first was a clearly female Another Rider with stain glass on its body, a black cape with two large pauldrons that sported eyes, a bat-like belt, a face that had large teeth and two large horns, and finally the name KIVA and the year 2008 on each of its wings.

Then there was the larger of the two as it was a beetle-like monster with two large wings, a faux version of the Arcle Belt around the waist. Two giant legs and the year 2000 were printed on the back of its left shoulder, and the name KUUGA was on the right shoulder.

"Great, just when we thought things couldn't get any worse." Fubuki grumbled.

---

Yukina, Kyoshiro, Chiyomi and Akihiko had arrived at Academia Island, via the former's portal. But what they saw was the chaos that was unfolding on the battlefield between S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts and hordes of Duel Monsters. Even if they were far away, they could still hear the sounds of battle. It was evident enough that there were Duel Monsters fighting in the sky.

"Oh no…" Yukina feared, gripping onto the briefcase tightly. "It's worse than I thought."

"Hold on, why are there special Monsters on the battlefield?" Kyoshiro realized, recognizing Mixmaster Cyclone, Feastivus, Mobile Base, Gyzarus, Flame Wingman, and many more fighting off the grunts.

"Worry about that later. They're helping the kids aren't they?" Chiyomi said.

"She's right, we can't waste anymore time. Let's go!" Akihiro urged.

However, that was when the adults felt that they weren't alone, because as they turned around; they found themselves face to face with the monstrous Rider-like beasts.

The first was a beetle with much spikier shoulder armor, two side guards that resembled samurai armor, and his chest plate had a red mark on the abs portion. His belt also was red with the symbol of an arrowhead rather than a spade with a skull etched onto it, while his broadsword mutated into a jagged bastardization of the BlayRouzer. Finally his face was monstrous as beady eyes. On the back of his armor was the word BLADE and the year 2004.

The second was a Chinese dragon-like knight monster with the name RYUKI and the year 2002 on its chest plate. Red dragon scale-like side skirts and front skirt, wrapped around its waist. Two silver wings were on its shoulder pads, and there was a massive red dragon-like arm akin to Flame Wingman. It also held a jagged looking sword in its other hand.

Next was the large ashura-like monster with two golden faces on its shoulder pads. A sash wrapped around its shoulders, along with a yellow belt, and what looked to be a face made up of red face paint alongside its massive maw. The name HIBIKI and the year 2005 was etched somewhere on its body.

Finally, there was a red beetle monster with a horrifying maw, with beetle legs on the sides of its legs. A jagged blade was on it# left shoulder pad and two more legs were on its right. There was what looked to be eyes on its chest plate, and finally a large prominent horn on its head. The center of the belt had one large beetle larvae curled up. The name KABUTO and the year 2006 were etched on the shoulders respectively.

"Looks like we're in the game." Kyoshiro said before taking out three cards. "King's Knight, Queen's Knight, and Jack's Knight, come forth!"

"Energize! Magnet Warrior - Alpha, Magnet Warrior - Beta, and Magnet Warrior - Gamma!" Akihiko declared.

Soon, the three Poker Knights were summoned alongside a large but lanky magnet-themed golem with a matching-themed sword and shield, a small yellow magnet-themed golem with two magnets for hands and finally a winged red magnet-themed golem with a magnet for a collar.

Chiyomi soon looked to Yukina, who quickly drew her cards and looked to the monsters she was ready to summon. The Kururugi matriarch gave her nod.

"Put on a show, old friends." she answered, but it wasn't just to Chiyomi.

The reporter then took a deep breath and readied her own summon, "Take to the stage! Trickstar Aqua Angel! Trickstar Candida! Trickstar Lychoris!"

Suddenly, three female fairies quickly appeared for Chiyomi. The first being a young blue-clad fairy with light blue hair done in two pigtails, a blue dress that had a red gem on the center, a blue gem at the waist, two leaf-like front decorations, and two glowsticks. The second was a blonde fairy with some red paint on her right eye, an orange dress which sported the same red gem as the leading blue fairy with black on the skirt's upper layer and a middle white section on the lower, brown and gold socks, ballet shoes, and finally a microphone. The third was a young girl with almost dark crimson red hair that had tuff styled on the side, a pink flower-like dress that kept the same red gem as her fellow Trickstars with a lone red sleeve, white gloves, a pair of stylized shoes, and what looked to be a heart-themed sword.

With a smile, Yukina drew her monsters and quickly prepared for battle, "Swarm the field! Beetrooper Scout Buggy! Beetrooper Scale Bomb! Beetrooper Stingy Lance!"

Three insect-like warriors soon arrived, riding their inspirations like mounts. There was a gangly ladybug-themed warrior who wielded a lance while riding an armored ladybug, a butterfly-themed knight whose mount was a purple winged butterfly, and finally a large armored bee-themed warrior with two large spears for arms alongside the typical two, and a wasp who was outfitted with a large blade for its stinger.

"Everyone ready?" Yukina asked.

"Ready!" Kyoshiro, Chiyomi, and Akihiro affirmed.

---

Finally, with Kuromu, Judai, and Den-O, they came face-to-face with three more of the Another Riders. For Kuromu, he and W stood staring down what looked to be W's corrupted self; a Frankenstein's monster-like beast with its head being made up of two faces stitched together side-by-side, along with a grotesque mouth that had a half-and-half style. The left half resembled an ancient wind monster while the other side resembled a post-apocalyptic biker. On one left was the word DOUBLE and the other, the year 2009.

Judai was left staring down what looked to be a large demonic version of Den-O, with two large flared up shoulders, two red horns for eyes, sashes on its chest plate, a weird Aztec-like belt held together by a train track, and two large daggers. On the lower part of its cloak, the name DEN-O and the year 2007 were printed on the left and right parts.

For Tsukasa, his Another Rider counterpart, his Another Rider was bulky with a demonic face covered in black scars along its green face. It had two large shoulder pads to go along with the bulky chest plate that had DECADE and 2009 on it. Two side skirts were alongside a jaw and red gem to mimic his DecaDriver. Finally large black marks were on its forearms and down its legs.

"Do you like them?" Oogumo asked, "I took the liberty of recreating these devices for my soldiers to use."

"Can't you think of anything original for once?" Tsukasa groaned. "I know imitation is a sincere form of flattery, but this is just ridiculous. I'm surprised that you even considered stealing those from the Time Jackers."

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, Kadoya." the eyeless cyclops remarked, "You of all people should know that."

"Still not impressed…" Decade deadpanned.

"Now, destroy them all! And once you're done with those Duelists…" he took pleasure in Judai's fearful expression when he said… "Burn their decks."

"We won't let you!" Several voices shouted as there was a glow from Kuromu's Deck.

Several balls of light shot and spread out throughout the entire battlefield before materializing themselves, the Riders facing off against their monster counterparts.

"You guys…" Kuromu said wide-eyed.

"All for one, one for all. Am I right?" Shotaro chuckled before the Riders quickly joined the war between S.H.O.C.K.E.R and the various Duel Monsters.

---

FLAME! SLASH STRIKE!

HII! HII! HII! HII! HII! HII!

"Take this!" Wizard said, swinging his WizarSwordGun, releasing a wave of fire that burned some of the S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunt within the local area. As the grunts were forced back by the flames, the mage Rider was caught off-guard by an attack from behind.

Turning around, he saw his Another Rider counterpart. Its helmet was shaped like Wizard's Ring, but the face of the jeweled was rather crude and raw, the silver border of the helmet looked dented and an actual ring surrounded his head. If one looked close enough, the mask itself was translucent enough to see the teeth underneath. He wore a red shoulder cape that had the word WIZARD on the back covered by skull shoulder pauldrons, and the year 2012 underneath. The chest armor was segmented and crude, and the red coat was tattered. He wore a belt similar to the WizarDriver but had a skeleton hand for a Hand Author. The ring he also wore was rather unrefined.

"You call yourself the 'Final Hope'? Consider me, 'The Final Despair'." Another Wizard chuckled evilly.

"You certainly don't look the part." Wizard scoffed, "You're just a cheap copy of me."

"Oh but once I kill you? I will become the real Wizard." The Phantom-like Another Rider scoffed.

"We'll see about that." Wizard snapped, before the two got into a stance. But then-

*BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!*

Sparks only flew off of Another Wizard, causing the Another Rider to fall to its knees in pain. Wizard was left confused. Who fired on his Another Rider counterpart?

"Yo, Wizard! Seems like you could use some help!" A peppy voice spoke up, one that sounded familiar to the Rider, making him smile.

"Huh? That voice… it can't be!" Wizard said, surprised.

From the smoke cloud that appeared from the gun firing, five multicolored warriors appeared. Each one was slightly different from the other in terms of their design, as they had one dinosaur on their person. They had a 'sash' like chest piece that looked to be like a dinosaur head with the said creature on their left breast plate and each one was carrying a yellow, dinosaur-esque gun in hand.

"Daigo, everyone! Long time no see!" Wizard called out.

"Yeah, too long!" the one in red, Daigo Kiryu, chuckled. "One moment." He said before he splayed out his arms and called out. "Kiite Odoroke!"

KIBA NO YUUSHA! KYORYU RED!

DANGAN NO YUUSHA! KYORYU BLACK!

YOROI NO YUUSHA! KYORYU BLUE!

ZANGEKI NO YUUSHA! KYORYU GREEN!

TSUMA NO YUUSHA! KYORYU PINK!

The five then quickly knelt on one knee, slapping the ground, before springing back up as they pointed into the air before pointing to the dinosaur symbols on their chest as they all spoke in unison.

"Shijou saikyou no Brave!"

"ZYUDEN SENTAI KYORYUGER!"

"Che, another couple of pests, are we?" Another Wizard spat out.

"How did you guys get here? I thought we were the only ones that can jump to this world." Wizard asked, as he approached the team.

"Let's just say, you Riders aren't the only 'Heroes' who heard the call to arms." Kyoryu Red smirked under his mask.

"Besides, didn't one of your kouhai say that 'heroes help other heroes'?" Kyoryu Pink pointed out.

"Heh, that's true. So you being here means…" Wizard trailed off.

"Not all of us. The others chose to stay back and keep their worlds safe while we volunteered to go to this one." Kyoryu Black said. "I gotta tell you, it's a bit bleak, but we Sentai are evening the playing field. I'm just glad that man was able to help us get to this world."

"That man… wait, Visas brought you all here?!" he gasped.

"Auram actually. T-Though we're the only ones who made a connection to this world." Kyoryu Blue bowed to apologize.

"Pretty much, what better team for the Rebuilder of Worlds to call on than the 'Strongest Braves in History'?" Kyoryu Green pointed out, snapping his fingers at that last statement.

"Appreciate the help." Wizard said, before facing his monster counterpart. "Alright then, let's take down the fake me and be done with it."

"Yosha! Now then, Another Wizard… Areru ze! Tometemina!" Kyoryu Red declared, as the Sentai group soon got into their battle stance.

"I'll destroy you lousy fools!" Another Wizard howled, as he casted a fireball at the group of heroes, just barely missing them as an explosion erupted behind them as they all charged ahead towards both the Another Rider and the other S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts who appeared via his command.

---

"Heh, it's funny isn't it? A Zi-O fighting two Zi-Os." Another Zi-O laughed as he and Rex tried to overpower the other.

"Hey, you got the wrong guy asshat!" the mutt snapped.

"Doesn't matter, all Another Riders are meant to replace their counterparts. So that means you're just as much of a target as your dumbass friend over there!" the clock Another Rider laughed before kicking the mutt away.

Luckily, Zi-O quickly delivered a double axe handle to stun his Another Rider counterpart long enough for Sho to help get Rex back on his feet. Once he was distracted, the mutt quickly got behind Another Zi-O and began using his speed to quickly land a massive series of punches.

ORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORAORA!

As he continued his assault, Rex's red eyes glowed while blue electricity began to spark through every punch he landed. He then spun his fist around and landed one more punch.

ORAAAAAAA!

Once the Another Rider was staggered however, Rex… shook his hands.

"Holy shit, that hurt like hell!" the mutt yelped, the glowing stopping briefly. "Gah, whatever! I'm finishing this! He said before kicking Another Zi-O in the gut, placed his head between his legs, then lifted him upside down and leaped up with a burst of red and blue electricity to perform, to the Roid Duelist's shock…

"Is that an Izuna Drop?!" he gasped.

"Sougo, I'm coming in hot! Need a little help here!" Rex called out while he descended towards the silver clock Rider's position.

"Got it!" He said before pressing the button on his Ridewatch.

FINISH TIME!

The mutt soon let go right as the silver clock Rider quickly landed a powerful roundhouse kick onto his Another Rider counterpart.

TIME BREAK!

"GAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

The S.H.O.C.K.E.R general grunt soon rolled to the ground, the shattered remains of his Ridewatch falling to the ground. To the group's shock however, the grunt general quickly dissolved into foam.

"Oh shit…" Rex muttered, his eyes returning to normal and the electricity around his body dying down.

However, things were going to get worse as the silver clock Rider and the mutt saw Another Fourze was flying straight for Instructor Chronos, at least until he was shot out of the sky by the real Fourze.

"Heh, not so fast pal!" the astronaut Rider laughed.

"Graaaagh!" Another Fourze snarled after tumbling to the ground, getting back up after. "You're an annoying insect!"

"I've heard that before!" Fourze laughed as the two clashed Rider Rocket Punches.

"You think friendship is gonna win you through this?! It's the most pathetic thing I've ever heard!" Another Fourze snapped. "You're just pretending to be friends so you could use them later on! That makes you a liar!"

"No, that is never true. My friends are not tools I use, they're the thing that keeps me going." Fourze declared before quickly leaping into the air, activating the switches.

ROC-KE-T ON/ D-RI-LL ON!

"My friends… are my power!"

ROC-KE-T D-RI-LL LIMIT BREAK!

He then flew straight for his Another Rider counterpart.

"RIDER ROCKET DRILL KICK!"

He then flew forward right as Another Fourze tried to clash with his Kamen Rider counterpart's drill via his Rider Rocket Punch. To Another Fourze's shock, Fourze's drill was able to break through its hard light construct and quickly drill straight through him; exploding right as the astronaut Rider landed.

The Fourze Ridewatch dropped to the ground before it shattered.

"Yosha!" Fourze cheered. But then all of a sudden, the local area suddenly slowed down, as if everything went in slow motion. "What- I can't move!"

"It's Heavy Acceleration!" Drive shouted as he and his Another Rider counterpart were zipping across the battlefield, clashing until they reached the top of Mobile Base, who was busy fighting alongside Antique Gear Golem, who wasn't doing great, "Oi! Chronos, I think you need to power-up your monster!"

"Ahhhh!" Instructor Chronos panicked dodging another S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunt missile, albeit in slow motion. "I'm busy fighting for my life in slow motion!"

"Looks like we're on our own for a while!" Fourze yelped.

"Shinnosuke, we need to change it up!" Krim said with an angry emoji.

"Right!" Drive said, before taking out a Shift Car, this one being blue and in the shape of a Formula race car. He turned the ignition key on the DriveDriver and switched the car into its active mode, slotting it in and pulling the lever afterwards.

DRIVE! TYPE: FORMULA!

Quickly, the racecar Rider transformed into a blue version of his armor with a large Formula 1 car front as the chest, a race car-like helmet, and two tires on the arms. He quickly landed a rapid series of hits to stun his Another Rider counterpart, even using the wheels on his cuffs to attack his foe. This seemed to bring things somewhat back to normal, as Chronos quickly shook and drew what he needed, "I play Antique Gear Fusion to merge Antique Gear Giant, Antique Gear Beast, Antique Gear Hound, and Antique Gear Dragon!"

The ancient giant shifted and changed after the other gear golem-like monsters broke apart and began to reform around it.

"Ancient mechanoids of the past, combine and create a power that rivals the gods themselves!"

Chaos Giant then appeared and quickly charged up its arm cannons, which made Mobile Base smile.

"Fusion Summon! Unearth my foes, Antique Gear Chaos Giant!" He then shouted to the car-themed Rider. "Signore Drive, hold him still! I'm taking aim!"

"You got it!" The race car Rider affirmed as he quickly smashed through the Another Rider's shield, leaving him screaming in pain long enough for Chaos Giant to aim its arm cannons at it. "Now!"

"FIRE!" Instructor Chronos shouted and Antique Gear Chaos Giant fired its cannons at the corrupted race car Rider, vaporizing it into nothing. "Good riddance to bad rubbish."

Despite saying that, the instructor was left with a hint of fear at what his Monster could do. He feared that it could be used less as a simple golem meant to help him further his education into a weapon of war.

"Alright, let's meet up with the others and see if they need help." Drive said.

---

"Grah! This ain't groovy at all!" Koji snapped as he quickly had to move into using capoeira to dodge Another Gaim's manic slashes, occasionally sweeping the samurai Another Rider's legs and allowing Gaim to move in and attack.

"Hold still, you monkey brat!" Another Gaim snapped.

"Make me, punk!" the disco fan laughed.

"Let's try this!" Gaim said, before taking out a Lockseed.

SUIKA!

A giant zipper portal quickly opened as it revealed a massive watermelon-like machine.

"What in blazes?!" Misawa gawked.

After slicing it, Gaim leaped into the air and into the watermelon, causing it to fall to the ground and start to run over all of the S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts in the area.

SUIKA ARMS! ODAMA BIG BANG!

YOROI MODE!

The Watermelon shifted and opened to become a giant armor. He took on the form of a small Gundam. The shoulder pauldrons, chest armor, and the armor covering his upper thighs were watermelon colored, red arm armor, and black armored legs. Then in his hand was the Suika Sōjinto, a double-bladed sword.

"Shucky ducky quack quack…" Koji gawked.

"Let's do this!" Gaim said, before he started swinging the watermelon blades at Another Gaim., who was starting to get overwhelmed by the Suika Arms' far superior strength, being forced to kneel while blocking the samurai Rider's onslaught of attacks.

Meanwhile…

Another Build and his original counterpart clashed with each other. The former tried to get some hits on Misawa, but his Water Dragon protected him.

"Why do you waste your talents on some children's card game?" Another Build asked Misawa. "You are much more than what you are now. Join us and your potential will be fully realized!"

"I'd ask the same about you. Why waste your talents hurting your fellow man rather than helping them?" The genius fired back.

"Because humans are flawed creatures," Another Build said as if it were a fact. "Humanity's intellect has declined significantly due to your flaws, but we monsters are perfect in every way thanks to our leader! That is why we follow him!"

Misawa shook his head, "Truly, such wasted talents… How can we improve if we cannot learn from our flaws?"

"Au contraire, the fact that you humans failed so many times, proves that you're incapable of improving. Humanity's intellect has reached its limits." Another Build chuckled, "But enough of that, now it's time to see if your intellect truly serves as the Best Match with your friend's power?"

RABBIT TANK SPARKLING! YEAHY-YAAAH!

"Huh?!" Another Build got out before he was sent flying by the original Build who was in his Sparkling Form.

"Looks like you forgot about keeping an eye on the battlefield." the genius Rider chuckled as he began to land several blows on his Another Rider counterpart, each one causing fizzy bubbles to fly out.

"Why you-!" Another Build growled before cranking his belt.

"Sento-san, I'll buy you some time!" Misawa declared as he quickly called for his Water Dragon to spray Another Build, interrupting his charge.

"Thanks!" Build said, before he started cranking his own lever. After a few more times of revolving the crank, he was ready to finish this counterpart off.

READY?! GO!

"Shōri no hosoku wa… kimatta!"

SPARKLING FINISH!

The genius Rider then leaped into the air and flew through a cone to deliver a flying side kick onto the Another Rider. "This… can't be happeniiiiiiiing!" The monstrous Build counterpart roared in pain before finally exploding. The Another Ridewatch was expelled out of that grunt's body before exploding into pieces, leaving the grunt to dissolve like the other Another Riders.

Misawa was left disturbed by the grunt's demise.

"GAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Another Gaim was sent flying back and tumbling towards the ground. The original Gaim then jumped out of his Watermelon Arms to switch Arms.

"This is the end!" He said, taking out the Kachidoki Lockseed.

KACHIDOKI!

After inserting it in the Sengoku Driver, he immediately sliced it.

LOCK ON!

SOIYA! KACHIDOKI ARMS! IZA SHUTSUJI! EI! EI! O~H!

The heavily armored orange quickly fell from the sky and landed on Gaim's shoulders, unfolding afterwards. Once the Arms was secured, he brought out his Hinawadaidai DJ Ju, then took out his Musou Saber. After levering the handle on my DJ Gun, he inserted the Musou Saber inside and a small blade came out of the curve, with the DJ Gun now in Taiken Mode. He twirled around and gave two large slashes on Another Gaim's armor and he shrieked in pain as sparks flew off his armor while stumbling back.

"NOW!" Gaim shouted as he took off his Kachidoki Lockseed and locked it in place on the DJ Gun.

LO~CK ON! 1! 10! 100! 1,000! 10,000! 100,000,000! 1,000,000,000! MURYO~DAISU!

"KURAE!" Gaim shouted, pulling the trigger.

KACHIDOKI CHARGE!

He fired off a massive blast of energy to destroy Another Gaim and leave its host to dissolve, to Koji's disgust.

"Ugh, that is nasty." he grumbled.

"Indeed… that is one experiment I will not be partaking in." Misawa frowned.

---

"Grah! How the hell are we supposed to get those things off our tail?" Jun snapped as he had Light and Darkness Dragon try and avoid the incoming attacks from the Another Riders.

"Boss! He's on our six! We can't shake him!" Ojama Yellow called out as Another Ghost was chasing XYZ-Dragon Cannon relentlessly.

"Give up cretins and offer up your souls!" Another Ghost demanded.

"Noooooooooooooooo!"

DAI KAIGAN!

GAN GAN MINNA! GAN GAN MINNA! GAN GAN MINNA! GAN GAN MINNA!

"What the- who-" Jun got out.

OMEGA IMPACT!

A large impactful shot struck Another Ghost, sending him crashing to the ground, courtesy of his original counterpart shooting him down with his GanGunSaber and Bat Clock being put together in its Rifle Mode.

"You guys okay?" The spirit Rider asked, flying beside them, in his Billy the Kid Parka.

"Oui, we're alright. Merci beaucoup." Annette thanked.

Meanwhile, Faiz was firing shots from below, trying to knock Another Faiz from the sky, who was riding on a corrupted version of the bike robot AutoVajin. "Tsk, you wanna play that badly? Well let's rumble!" Another Faiz roared.

His robot then dived down and started going trigger happy, forcing the original Faiz to quickly call on his own AutoVajin.

5-8-1-4

AUTO VAJIN: GET INTO THE ACTION

As his bike transformed into its robot mode, the two AutoVajin brawled in the warzone. Another Faiz jumped to meet his counterpart and the two exchanged blows.

"Why do you reject your true nature as a monster?" Another Faiz asked as he swung a few times, to which Faiz blocked. "You're not human and yet you still fight for them as if you're one of them! Why fight for such a flawed species?"

"My body may no longer be human, but my heart and soul still remain as human." Faiz declared.

"Hah! You're just lying to yourself!" Another Faiz laughed, as he kicked his counterpart a few times then a few more punches for good measure. "Once a monster, always a monster! That's a fact you can't deny!"

"What does that say about yourself?" Faiz stated coldly.

"At least I can admit that I'm a monster." Another Faiz boasted. "Honesty is the best policy and I'll be damned for not staying true to myself!"

"What's it going to take to shut you up?!" Jun shouted from the air, causing Another Faiz to look up and see Light and Darkness Dragon diving down. "You're going down either way, so just dry up and die!" He yelled before his dragon spewed out its flames.

This caught the Another Rider off long enough for Faiz to set up his finisher. He took off the Mission Memory to insert into the Faiz Pointer.

READY

Once the laser pointer extended, he attached it to the outside of his right foot, pointing it downward, parallel to his foot. He then stood up, opened up the phone and pressed the 'ENTER' button.

EXCEED CHARGE

Another Faiz, given his Another AutoVajin was still fighting it's original counterpart as well as him being occupied with holding back Light and Darkness Dragon, was left defenseless as the original Faiz Rider Kicked him. The SHOCKER grunt that served as the false cellular Rider's host fell to the ground and dissolved while the Another Ridewatch broke.

"Yeesh, that was… morbid…" Ojama Black observed.

"Glad I'm not on the end of that." Ojama Green added.

"You said it." Ojama Yellow agreed.

---

Asuka dodged left and right from Another Agito's strike that was aimed at her vitals. Agito moved in to defend her, striking back with fists and kicks of his own. The Obelisk Queen then rushed in for a punch, to which Agito sensed and jumped to the side, only for Another Agito to catch her fist.

"You show potential, girl. But your morality holds you back from realizing it." Another Agito said, slowly twisting her arm.

"Ergh… I could say the same about you!" Asuka gritted, as she tried to twist her arm back to alleviate some of the pain, "You're crazy to think that morality can hold a person back any less than having none at all!" She then delivered a strong punt to the Another Rider's stomach. She then quickly leaped forward and delivered two kicks to the head, further stunning Another Agito.

"Grk…! Impudent wench!" Another Agito snarled, only for Agito to jump and continue the attack.

"Tsk, to think you share the same face as a friend. I won't let you tarnish his name!" Agito roared. "At least he was a better Rider than you'll ever be!" He then crouched down and the crest on his head fanned out. The symbol of Agito appeared below his feet, and was absorbed into them.

"I won't let you!" Another Agito shouted, rushing towards Agito.

It's then that Asuka suddenly felt something in her as she quickly performed a double palm thrust that caused a burst of flames to appear.

"H-Huh?!" Asuka looked surprised.

"Gahhhh!" Another Agito yelled in pain as the flames lingered on the impact zone, "The flames, they burn!"

"Tenjoin-san, you…" Agito said surprised.

"I… I don't know what I just did." she muttered before looking up and spotting the burst of electricity coming from Rex leaping into the air to land an Izuna Drop on Another Zi-O. "And it looks like I'm not alone."

Agito shook his head before focusing back on the burning Another Agito. He then jumped up and dived down for his Ground Kick. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" He shouted, before the kick hit him on the chest, bouncing off of Another Agito and landing. He then slowly pivoted his body to face away from his counterpart. When his crest closed-

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

That was the end of Another Agito.

Asuka stared at the explosion for a moment, but then her peripheral vision warned her to leap out of the way as Another OOO and Another Ex-Aid made a beeline for her.

"You're a dead girl!" the corrupted Greed Another Rider declared.

"No she isn't!" Junko declared as she and Momoe got in between the two Another Riders, nodding to the other. She soon started off by drawing two cards, "I play Fusion to merge Amazoness Swords Woman and Amazoness Queen together!"

A huge Fusion vortex soon emerged as the two Another Riders stopped dead in their tracks.

"Empress of the Sisterhood, command those who resist against your authority to acknowledge your presence and bend the knee!"

Soon, a tanned muscular woman emerged from the vortex, wielding a large blade. She had wild white hair that was long with a skull of a deer on her forehead that acted as a crown. She wore a red cape that had bone shoulder armor spiking out, with a green bra over her chest and a tan skirt made of animal hide while wearing bandages on the wrists and legs that were adorned with little armor.

"Fusion Summon! Amazoness Empress!"

"Same here! I play Rahu Dragon Tail to merge Dragon Tail Lucias and Dragon Tail Fymena!" Momoe added as her monsters flew in next.

"Mages of the astral sky, unleash your magic to call forth the beast of the stars!"

Joining the queen was a large bipedal dragon with white and gold armor, two large claws that had large circles at the palm, a set of black segmented metal wings, and four large horns on its head.

"Fusion Summon! Dragon Tail Altharion!"

Asuka was surprised to see these two monsters as Junko and Momoe gave the Obelisk Queen a thumbs up.

"Might as well give them backup." Ex-Aid said, as he took out a Gashat that looked double in size compared to the other one. He pressed the button on the corner.

MIGHTY BROTHERS DOUBLE X!

The game screen appeared showing two characters that were similar to the pink character from Mighty Action X. But one character was orange while the other was green. After swapping his base Gashat out for this double-sized Gashat, he opened it up.

DOUBLE GASHATTO! GACCHAN! LEVEL UP!

MIGH-TY BROTHERS! FU-TA-RI DE HI-TO-RI! MIGH-TY BROTHERS! FU-TA-RI NO VICTORY! X!

After transforming back into an altered version of his Level 1 form, he closed up his driver.

"Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaai… Henshin!"

GACCHAN! DOUBLE UP!

O-RE GA OMAE DE! OMAE GA O-RE DE! WE ARE! MIGHTY MIGHTY BR-OTHE-RS (HEY!) DOUBLE X~!

To the shock of Asuka, Junko, and Momoe, Ex-Aid split into two versions of himself that sported the Level 1 face on opposite shoulders. Not only that, the body suits were opposite in 'hair' color. One suit was green while the 'hair' was orange and the other suit was orange while the 'hair' was green.

"Heh, surprised you're calling for me." The other Ex-Aid chuckled.

"It's a Rider War all over again. I'll need your help to clear this, Parad."

"Alright then." The other Ex-Aid said, before one of them produced the forms' signature weapon.

GASHACON KEY SLASHER!

"Now you're just cheating!" Another Ex-Aid snarled.

"Says you!" Both Ex-Aids shouted, before charging in at their counterpart, delivering a double slash before stepping out of the way of Amazoness Empress delivering her own slash attack. Afterwards, the three Obelisk Blue ace monsters teamed up for a triple attack, with Konohana and Empress taking turns attacking the three Another Riders at once before Altharion rammed the monsters with its horns.

"Your desire for peace will never come!" Another OOO shouted. "Why do you still hope for a species that never changes to gain sympathy for their fellow man?"

"That doesn't mean I won't seek it out until my dying breath!" OOO refuted.

"Hah! Of course you would! You accomplished that only to-" he stopped himself as he smirked, "No… no, I'll let you experience that yourself." He let out a menacing chuckle. Of course, his laughter would stop when the Obelisk ace monsters attacked again.

"Let's finish this!" OOO declared, before scanning his belt.

SCANNING CHARGE!

"Ready Parad?" Ex-Aid asked.

"Yeah!" The other Ex-Aid said, before taking off one of their Double Gashats and inserted it in the Gashacon Key Slasher.

DOUBLE GASHATTO! KIMEWAZA!

The two then entered their stance as the girls all gave the nod to their monsters to join in. OOO was the first to attack as he jumped up and dived down towards Another OOO with Konoha by his side.

"SEIYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

Once the two kicked through his Another Rider counterpart, Altharion grabbed Another Ex-Aid by the head and tossed him straight into the triple slash attack by both Ex-Aids and Amazon Empress.

MIGHTY BROTHERS CRITICAL~ FINI~SH!

Soon, the other two Another Riders all fell to the ground.

KAISHIN NO IPPATSU!

Afterwards, the elite S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts dissolved into foam before the girls' eyes.

"Is it… over?" Asuka asked.

"Yes. At least for this area of the battlefield." Agito said, before turning to the Obelisk Queen. "Let's help Kuromu out. He needs you."

"Right." Asuka nodded.

---

Another Kuuga began fighting Cyber End Dragon and Meteor Black Dragon, the three kaiju all letting out their roars at each other in a battle of intimidation.

"Should we even help them?" Kuuga asked Kiva.

"We should. The only people who can put those things down is us." The bat Rider said as he fought against his feminine Another Rider counterpart.

"Why defy your destiny of being ruled over by S.H.O.C.K.E.R? This world is flawed and needs to be perfected!" Another Kiva said.

"Because those flaws allow us to grow. We can't move forward if we don't learn to fail first!" Kiva refuted.

"Well said aibou!" Kivat approved. "And for that, this calls for some special dai-service!"

"You got it!" Kiva said, before pulling out three whistles, one blue, one green, and one purple. He then opened up Kivat's mouth to have him blow into each one in succession.

GARURU SABER!

BASHAA MAGNUM!

DOGGA HAMMER!

Soon, three balls of light quickly flew towards him and transformed his body. His right arm became blue and gained a fur-like shoulder pad as he grabbed the wolf-like blade, then after grabbing a merman-like gun, his left arm transformed into a deep green with a fish fin-shaped shoulder pad. Finally, on his back was a large Frankenstein monster-like hammer as the chest plate changed, becoming square-like

"Hmph, as if changing form will-" Another Kiva said, only for water bullets to hit her, spark flying off of her armor, staggering backwards. "Why you-!"

Meanwhile, Another Kuuga swung its arm at Cyber End Dragon, who smacked it away with one of its heads before firing its triple beam attack to force the kaiju Another Rider back.

"HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Kuuga jumped over Cyber End Dragon and performed a Rider Kick, sending it staggering backwards, but it did little effect.

Another Kuuga roared, before continuing on the attack. "Humans don't deserve happiness!"

"Of course something that looks like a Grongi acts like one." Kuuga remarked as he got out of the way of an incoming tail swipe from Meteor Black Dragon. However, Another Kuuga grabbed its tail and swung him towards Cyber End Dragon, the former crashing into the latter.

"No! Meteor Black Dragon!" Fubuki cried out.

"How about I finish off you miserable lizards myself!" Another Kuuga snarled.

"Not while we're still here!" Ryo snapped.

"Then perhaps I should finish you two first!" Another Kuuga growled, turning to the two duelists.

"Both of you, get out of there!" Principal Samejima shouted.

As the Another Rider was prepared to attack the two Duelists, Meteor Black Dragon leaped onto Another Kuuga's back and bit a large chunk out of the Another Rider's body. Cyber End Dragon then used its three serpentine heads to wrap the Another Rider's body, in order to restrain him.

"Kuuga, now!" Ryo shouted.

After taking his stance, Kuuga leaped into the air right as Cyber End Dragon threw Another Kuuga up as hard as it could before firing its beams at him. Once Kuuga landed his Rider Kick through Another Kuuga, he slid down, Cyber End Dragon's middle head down to its tail like a rail.

"GRRRRRRRRAGH! THIS… ISN'T OVER…! HUMANITY WILL NEVER… BE HAPPY! ONLY DESPAIR AWAITS!" Another Kuuga yelled before-

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

Meanwhile, Kiva was overwhelming Another Kiva with attacks, dual wielding the sword and gun against Another Kiva's twisted versions of his weapons.

"Come on, relax…" the bat Another Rider cooed as she tried to stare into her Rider counterpart's eyes.

*SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!*

"Gyaaaaaaargh!" Another Kiva screeched in pain.

"Zan'nen deshita!" Kivat laughed. "You won't be able to charm my aibou that easily!"

"Let's end this!" Kiva called out.

"You got it!" Kivat said, before Kiva put the weapons away and pulled out another Fuestle for Kivat to blow into.

TATSULOT!

"Pyun, pyun, pyun, pyun, pyun! Tension Fortissimo!" The small dragon appeared and quickly attached itself to the hammer.

DOGGA FEVER!

"It's the bottom of the 9th inning! Bases loaded, three balls and two strikes!" Kivat announced. "Will aibou strike out or hit a grand slam!?"

After taking up a baseball stance, Kiva quickly pulled the trigger and hit the Another Rider as hard as he could.

*WHAM!*

"And he hits it! It's going! Going! GOIIIIIIIIING~?!" Kivat shouted as Another Kiva flew through the sky before-

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

"And it's a home run!" Kivat cheered.

"Nice!" Fubuki cheered.

"I suppose that takes care of that problem… for the moment." Samejima commented.

"And not a moment too soon." Ryo said, as they looked at a direction and saw those who had finished their battles, coming towards them to join up.

---

As the forces fought, the Kyoryugers fought against the S.H.O.C.K.E.R. grunts off while Kyoryu Red and Wizard fought together against Another Wizard. So far the match between them was even. But as time went on, it started to become more difficult to hold them off.

"If this keeps up, we'll be tired out." Wizard said.

"Then it looks like we'll have to bring in the big guns!" Kyoryu Red said, backing off for a moment as he reached for his buckle and brought out a battery in hand

"Brave In!"

He clicked it to activate the battery before throwing it out into the air.

GABURINCHO! GABUTY~RA!

From the sky, a red silhouette appears only to then slam down on top of many of the grunts, destroying them. It was a large, robotic T-Rex around the same size as Antique Gear Chaos Giant and Mobile Base with red and yellow coloring, and some strands of metal 'hair' on top. It roared loudly as it then began to easily stomp over the S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts with ease.

"Haha! Thanks as always, Gabuytra!" Kyoryu Red praised his partner as it gave a roar response in kind. "Think that's a good enough support, Wizard?"

"Definitely." Wizard chuckled.

"What is this?!" Another Wizard demanded.

"Something that you forget every human possess… Bravery!" Kyoryu Red smirked in response, charging back into the fray, "Ganretsu Punch!" He shouted out, striking the kaijin as the power of his attack literally sent him into the side of the volcano they were battling nearby.

"Oi oi. Careful. You want the volcano to erupt?" Wizard sweat dropped.

"Oops. My bad." The Red Sentai Leader flinched, scratching his 'head' with embarrassment.

"Grrrk… you are starting to annoy me…!" He said, before placing his hand over the SkeletonAuthor.

REWIND…

Another Wizard's body then wound back up to its previous state and placed his hand over his belt again.

GRAVITY…

All of a sudden, a heavy force brought them and the Kyoryugers to their knees.

"What-!" Kyoryu Black grunted.

"So… heavy…!" Kyoryu Pink moaned, trying to stand up.

"Can't… move…" Kyoryu Green got out.

"Someone help…!" Kyoryu Blue called.

"T-Think that'll… stop… me?!" Kyoryu Red howled out as he slowly began to stand back up, resisting the gravity spell placed on him.

"B-Bakana! How are you standing?!" Another Wizard questioned with shock.

"Because… we're the Kyoryugers! The 'Bravest' Sentai around! We're unbeatable!" The Red Sentai Leader declared, howling out loud as he took a step forward, attempting to reach the kaijin and stop his spell.

"King is right… We've faced our strongest foes and beat them… We can't let some pretender get the better of us!" Kyoryu Black stated, as he also began to slowly stand up.

"If you think… this will bring us down… think again!" Kyoryu Blue shouted, also making his stand.

"We're a Sentai, a team. Someone like you who is nothing but a fake, can't beat us." Kyoryu Green gritted his teeth as he made his stand as well.

"And when this is over? You'll regret facing us in the afterlife!" Kyoryu Pink declared as she too stood up, everyone resisting the gravity spell as it took the kaijin by surprise that mere humans could do this.

"Ikuze, minna!" Kyoryu Red shouted as each one took out another battery from their buckles and placed it into their guns.

"Armed On!"

METCHA MUCHO!

As they scrapped the gun cylinder against their arms, armor formed onto it along with weapons for each of them to use. They soon jumped out of the gravity spell and flung towards the enemy, as somehow a prehistoric jungle appeared around them.

"DriceLance!"

"ZakutorSlasher!"

"Stego Shield!"

"Parasa Shot!"

"Gabutyra Ganretsu Punch!"

Each Kyoryuger jumped in and attacked the corrupt Rider Kaijin, each one dealing powerful blows to the enemy as it soon lifted the gravity spell.

CHO II NE! KICK STRIKE! SAIKO~!

"Brave In!"

Kyoryu Red clicked another battery before tossing it into the air, soon all of their weapons combined into a large spear, as the four Kyoryugers held their arms together, allowing Kyoryu Red to jump off of them to grip the combined weapon.

KENTROSPIKER!

"Zyuden Brave Finish!" The Red Sentai Leader shouted out, tossing the spear at Another Wizard in time with Wizard's kick, charging up. Once Wizard had fire coating his foot, he ran doing a couple of flips before jumping up and diving down, kicking the spear to empower it with flames and kicked Another Wizard.

"Masaka!" Another Wizard shouted, creating a magic barrier to try and protect himself. But as the spear hit, it barely stopped as one crack shattered the barrier and pierced through the kaijin as it erupted into a fiery explosion, destroying him as the spear returned to Kyoryu Red.

"Brave da ze!" The Kyoryugers shouted in unison.

"Nice work all of you." Wizard thanked. "And thank you for your help."

"Hey, what are friends for?" Kyoryu Red shrugged, "Best get back to the others, eh? We'll clean things up here." He offered as Gabutrya easily chomped down on the last of the grunts, destroying the last forces that Another Wizard summoned up.

"You sure you don't want to stick around?" Wizard asked. "We could use more help."

"Who's to say we aren't? You'll see us again, soon enough." Kyoryu Black shrugged with a soft chuckle.

"Besides, our… contractor had the dates mixed up on enrollment." Kyoryu Green pointed out.

"Hah?" Wizard said, confused.

"Oh don't worry about it. Best get back to your friends, no?" Kyoryu Pink waved off.

"Good luck! Just don't become 'Kuro-ious'!" Kyoryu Blue said, making a terrible dad joke.

*WAPISH!*

"Ow!"

"No… just no…" Kyoryu Black shook his head in disappointment.

"Maa, maa. Let's move on! Get going, Wizard. And remember to keep being Brave da ze!" Kyoryu Red smirked behind his helmet, holding up a sideways peace sign to send the Kamen Rider off. With a nod, Wizard headed off to return back to Kuromu to deal with the final fight.

Once he was far enough away, everyone sighed with relief, before once again slapping Kyoryu Blue, making him drop to the ground.

"Jeez, Nosaan! You almost gave away our secret!" Kyoryu Pink scolded the blue warrior.

"G-Gomen! I just couldn't help myself!" Kyoryu Blue apologized.

"Matters not, we did what we were asked to do. Now we just need to help our new friend get ready for next year." Kyoryu Green said.

Kyoryu Red squealed like an energetic boy with excitement, "Next year is gonna be a blast! I can't wait for it either!"

The rest of them all nodded, as the Kyoryugers and Gabutyra faded into golden motes of light before flying away, as if being called back to somewhere in this world.

As Yukina, Kyoshiro, Chiyomi, and Akihiro clashed with the Another Riders, the Kururugi matriarch's hand hovered over her Extra Deck. She was ready to do something, but it was clear she didn't want to do it.

"Yukina, what's wrong?" Akihiro asked as he had Magnet Knight - Alpha block Another Blade's attack.

"It's…" Yukina trailed off.

Chiyomi was able to reach her, "It's okay Yukina, we need all the help we can get!"

Kyoshiro placed a reassuring hand on his wife's shoulder, "Yukina. It's fine. Do it."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes! Hurry it up! I'm getting pinned down over here!" Akihiro cried out, as he and his Magnet Warriors were trying to fight off Another Dragreder that Another Ryuki had just summoned out.

Letting out a sigh, she lifted her hand into the air.

"Appear! Circuit of the swarm!" Yukina declared as a large circuit appeared, "Arrowheads confirmed! The requirement is two Insect monsters so I'll use Beetrooper Scout Buggy and Beetrooper Stingy Lance to set the Top and Bottom Link Arrows!"

The two insect monsters then turned into red energy shooting up into the sky and entering the arrows indicated.

"Great rhino knight, ride into battle and ram through my foes' defenses!"

From the circuit, a wireframe monster appeared before getting its textures, revealing a Japanese rhino beetle-like knight riding a green and silver-armored Japanese rhino beetle. Yukina's Duel Disk then activated an extra part that allowed her to place a digital blue card onto it as she declared for the first time…

"LINK SUMMON!"

"Fly in, Link-2! Beetrooper Armor Horn!"

Both Tenjoin parents were left in awe of the summoned monster.

"That's…" Chiyomi murmured.

"Incredible…" Akihiro finished.

And they weren't the only ones, as everyone had spotted the circuit from a mile away, and they were all in shock.

"Woah. That circuit… that felt like my speed." Rex gasped.

"What was that?!" Sho added.

"Was that… one of those new Summoning Techniques?" Rika wondered.

"I don't know, but that was one hell of a light show." Koji commented.

"But… who would-" Asuka got out, before the realization hit her. "Mrs. Yukina!"

"Madame Yukina summoned that?!" Annette gasped

"Sure looks like it!" Jun observed.

Back with Yukina and her group, Yukina gave out the command. "Beetrooper Armor Horn! Attack the Another Riders!"

At once, the beetle knight ordered its mount to run over the four Another Riders, freeing up both King's Knight and Magnet Warrior - Alpha.

"Insignificant humans!" Another Kabuto shouted. "You will never surpass us!"

C̵̭̐L̸̰̉O̸̺̽Ć̶̠K̵̳͐ ̴̜́U̷̙͌P̷̬̂!̸̍͜

The beetle Another Rider was ready to quickly move in to take their Duel Disks from them, but that was when he felt his Kamen Rider counterpart kick him back. "Stay out of my way!"

"I think not." Kabuto said, as he quickly gave a few slashes with his KunaiAxGun in its dagger mode.

"Grrrrrr… why must you protect these humans? They're insignificant and superfluous! Humans cannot change themselves! Humans are not needed!"

"Obaachan ga itte ita: Even in a world full with only enemies, there will always be someone you must protect." Kabuto quoted, as he continued the assault, sparks flying off his counterpart. "I choose to protect humanity because I deem it so. Humans can change. All life in this world… All life is lovely. You don't change the world for your own sake. If you change yourself… Only then will the world change. That is the Path of Heaven. And that path will lead to a bright future that we humans will grab with our own hands."

"Tsk, taking advice from an old bag. I'm not surprised that your so-called Path of Heaven is your own." Another Kabuto scoffed.

"Then you shouldn't be surprised when I'm about to take you down." Kabuto said.

1! 2! 3!

"Rider… Kick…"

RIDER KICK!

"Not so fast!" Another Kabuto snapped as he prepped his own Rider Kick.

C̵̭̐L̸̰̉O̸̺̽Ć̶̠K̵̳͐ ̴̜́U̷̙͌P̷̬̂!̸̍͜

1̶͍͘!̷̪̑ ̸͎̋2̵͎͒!̵̯͊ ̸̫͐3̷̹́!̷̯̋

"Rider Kick!"

R̷̤͠I̴̗͑D̶͙̚E̷͕̎Ŗ̷͝ ̶͖̈K̵̝̈́I̴͕͋C̷͈͛K̷̤̎!̵̥͐

The two Rider Kicks clashed as they connected, sending both Kabuto back a bit.

C̵̭͌L̷̦͠O̷̹̿C̷̙͝K̷͔͘ ̷̱͗O̶̤͊Ṿ̸̏É̶̞R̶̮͑!̵̮͐/CLOCK OVER!

Both stood there, staring each other down. But after what seemed like an eternity, Another Kabuto was the first to flinch and stagger as electricity coursed through their body.

"Gaaaaah! Arrrrrrgh! Eyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaargh!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

Meanwhile Blade and Queen's Knight clashed their blades against Another Blade putting them in a deadlock.

"Tsk, you know. You Duelists and I are the same; using others to fight your battles for you." Another Blade scoffed.

"You're wrong!" Kyoshiro spat. "We support one another through good times and bad! A Duelist builds his Deck with his favorites from many types of cards, but sometimes it's the other way around where the cards choose the Duelist! They are connected and the Duelist can tap into their Deck's true power and become stronger together!"

"That's a load of crap and you know it!" Another Blade snapped as he broke the deadlock and slashed Blade and Queen's Knight away, "You people are nothing without those cards! You're useless!"

Jack's Knight dashed in and slashed downward, only for Another Blade to block his weapon as well.

"Oi, Kyoshiro! Time to power up!" Akihiro called out.

"Right!" Kyoshiro nodded before drawing a card. "I play Royal Straight! This sends my King's Knight, Queen's Knight, and Jack's Knight to the Graveyard to Special Summon a favorite of mine!"

As the three knights brought their swords together, they quickly flew into the sky as nodes of light.

"Land the winning blind with the power of the king, queen, and jack, knight of the arcane!"

The nodes of light fused into one node of white light before dropping down to the ground, and crashing afterwards. The white light faded to reveal the new knight in its place, slowly standing up from the ground.

The knight wore seafoam green armor, a large helmet that had a faux face on it and fake yellow hair, a red cape, and a large sword.

"Jackpot! Go, Royal Straight Slasher!"

"Now, I release Magnet Warriors Alpha, Beta, and Gamma to Special Summon their combined form!" Akihiro called out as the magnets began to break apart and reform.

"Magnetic golems of the north and south, energize your power into a united front!"

The parts of the Magnet Warriors then reformed themselves into one large magnet warrior.

"Energize! Magnet Warrior - Valkyrion!"

"I'll be sure to melt the hunk of metal!" Another Hibiki snarled using his kanabō drum stick, lighting them up and sending fire towards the magnet warrior.

"Valkyrion, polarize those flames and redirect them!" Akihiro commanded.

Using its magnet blade, Valkyrion quickly manipulated the flames right back at the oni Another Rider. While the oni Another Rider was distracted by the reflected attack, Royal Straight Slasher dashed in and delivered a slash attack that sent Another Hibiki to the ground in pain.

"Aki-kun!" Kyoshiro called out.

"Right! Let's finish this!" Akihiro nodded as Hibiki tossed out a disc that transformed into a large Taiko drum; trapping Another Blade and Another Hibiki while the oni Rider began to play rapidly.

SLASH! THUNDER!

The holograms of Slash Lizard and Thunder Deer appeared behind Blade and was absorbed into the BlayRouzer.

LIGHTNING SLASH!

"Full House Cutter!/Magnet Saber!"

After getting out of the way, Hibiki signaled for Blade and the two combined monsters to slice through both Another Riders, causing them to be sent flying before they exploded.

"Heh, you crapped out." Kyoshiro grinned.

*WAPISH!*

"Ow!"

"No more card jokes out of you!" Akihiro scolded after whacking the Kururugi patriarch on the head.

Meanwhile, Another Ryuki and Another Dragredder were easily fighting against Ryuki, Dragredder, and Armor Horn. When the corrupted dragon tried to fire out its fire breath to cook the monsters, Aqua Angel fired out a ball of water to clash with the flames, creating steam that covered the battlefield.

"Hmph! You're bound to tire out sooner or later." Another Ryuki scoffed. "And when you do, I'm going to enjoy burning you all alive!"

"Not while I'm alive!" Chiyomi then took a deep breath as she recalled how Yukina performed her Link Summon and lifted her hand into the air, "Appear! Circuit of the stars!"

As the circuit was starting to materialize, she could tell that her Duel Disk was starting to get hotter and hotter processing this new data.

"Chiyomi-chan, wait!" Yukina called out. "Your Duel Disk can't handle that much data!"

"R-Right!" Chiyomi said as she quickly dismissed the Link Circuit, "I guess I wanted to try it myself. But, that doesn't mean I can't Special Summon!" She then drew an extra card, "I play Trickstar Fusion to merge Trickstar Candida and Trickstar Lychoris!"

A swirling vortex appeared in the air and the two divas went into it.

"This just in! A rockstar has arrived on stage to enchant the world with her music!"

Descending onto the field was a lady with wild spiky hair wearing an extravagant red and purple hair band. She wore a halter top with the same colors that connected to her purple skirt that faded to white at the tips while wearing purple stockings and darker purple boots that were thigh high. Two pairs of white blade-like wings were on her back and were equipped with two drumsticks, where the handles were heart-shaped and had bows at the hilt.

"Fusion Summon! The spotlight's on you! Trickstar Band Drumatis!"

"Alright, let's finish him off together, Chiyomi-chan, Shinji-san!" Yukina called out.

"Right!" Ryuki said, before drawing a card and inserting into the DragVisor.

FINAL VENT!

"You'll never survive!" Another Ryuki shouted as he prompted Another Dragreder to go up as he jumped up with his dragon. However, before he could reach the apex of his jump, Another Ryuki was rammed in the stomach by Armor Horn, while Another Dragredder was disoriented by Drumatis' slamming both drum sticks onto its head.

Ryuki took this chance to jump up, while Dragreder flew alongside him, circling around as Ryuki corkscrewed in the air, before righting himself up. Dragreder now behind him, screeched its iconic roar as he spewed flames on Ryuki while diving down. "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" The incoming Rider Kick quickly went through both Another Ryuki and Another Dragredder, flying past Armor Horn's rider and landing safely on the ground.

"RAAAAAAAAAAAAGH! This… This isn't the end! This world… will continue to fight until there's no one left! Mark my woooooooords!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

The already defeated grunt began to dissolve in mid-air until only the broken piece of the Anotherwatch fell to the ground, shattering after.

"Good riddance." Akihiro sighed.

"Yeah, this was a tough one." Kyoshiro agreed.

"Okaa-san! Otou-san!" Asuka's voice called out, as the adults all looked to see the students and staff with their monsters and the other Kamen Riders approaching them.

"Asuka! Fubuki!" The two Tenjoin parents cheered.

The Tenjoin siblings then rushed towards their parents to embrace each other.

"Are you two okay?" Akihiro asked.

"We're fine but…" Asuka then looked surprised, noticing the new monsters, "Okaa-san, where's your Deck? I thought you brought it with you."

"Um… well, funny you should say that…" Chiyomi said nervously. "I…"

"Worry about that later," Yukina cut in. "We need to find Kuromu. He needs to be given this." She said, holding up the briefcase for everyone to see. She then noticed the lingering flames on Asuka's hands, and the occasional crackle of electricity from Rex's legs. "Asuka-chan, Rex-kun… your hands and legs…"

"What?" Rex asked before noticing the electricity on his legs, "The heck? This never happened before." He briefly panicked before noticing he wasn't getting zapped by the electricity.

"That doesn't look like normal static." Sho observed.

"Ah! Asuka-chan, your hands are on fire!" Rika panicked, now noticing the flames just as the Obelisk Queen did the same.

"Huh? Ah!" Asuka waved her hands, but she noticed something about those flames, "Wait… it doesn't hurt…"

"Hold still, you two." Yukina said, as she approached with her Duel Disk.

"Whoa, that's futuristic." Koji commented.

"She is from another world, after all." Misawa commented.

After Yukina scanned the pair with her Duel Disk, the display showcased the flame and circuit symbols.

"I knew it… Asuka-chan, you have Ritual Duel Energy within you." Yukina said. "And Rex, you have Link Duel Energy."

"Huh?!" The two gasped.

"Che cosa?!" Instructor Chronos gawked. "What does that mean?!"

"It likely means that you two must have had some contact with pure Duel Energy before." She theorized, "Tell me, what significant event do you two remember?"

"Well, I nearly got struck by lightning as a kid. After that? I got really, really fast." Rex recalled.

"…you became The Flash?" Sho quipped, now knowing why the mutt was so fast.

"That's what my friends joked to me." The mutt confirmed.

"I see…" Yukina observed, "What about you, Asuka-chan?"

"I remember trying to cook for Nii-san's birthday. For some reason, the heat never bothered me after I nearly burned myself when starting up the stove." She recalled.

"You burnt the karaage to a crisp…" Fubuki deadpanned. "Pitch black if I may add."

That earned a pouting glare from his sister.

"Least Judai and I are in good company when it comes to being crap cooks." Rex quipped.

"Ritual fire and circuit electricity…" Yukina murmured to herself, "Maybe something happened during those moments to energize you two with Duel Energy?"

"But how? At that point, neither of us were Duelists." Asuka questioned.

"It wouldn't matter." Yukina shook her head. "Duel Monsters have been around since the time of the Ancient Egyptians perhaps even longer than that, so it stands to reason that Duel Energy used to be abundant back then. And now, only traces of its energy remain on this world due to the passage of time."

"So they nearly getting hurt was what allowed them to harness Duel Energy?" Koji asked, recalling that similar detail between their stories.

"Their incidents may have been coincidental and unintentional, but that seems to be the case." Yukina said.

"That's… that's the most incredible thing I've ever heard." Misawa said, amazed.

"Agreed. Who would've thought that something so rare could given them such abilities?" Ryo mused.

"So now what? We got superpowers now?" Rex asked.

"In a sense. For the moment, try not to do anything that would set them off." Yukina advised.

"Which means no more running for you." Jun teased, earning a glare from Rex.

"Oh ha ha, very funny."

"Er-hem!" Samejima interrupted. "Not to be that person, but we shouldn't tarry here any longer. We need to assist Judai and Kuromu."

"Right!" The students realized as they quickly made their way towards where the last of Oogumo's forces were.

---

"Woah! That looked so cool!" Judai cheered after seeing the Link Circuit Yukina had summoned.

"Oi, Hero-boy! No time to gawk! Help me out here, will ya?!" Den-O snapped.

"Oh, right! Let's go Terra Wingman!" Judai called out as the powered up burning HERO fired several shots before launching an energy slash afterwards, heavily damaging Another Den-O.

"Grrrr… damn punk!" Another Den-O snapped.

"Oi, oi, worry about me bakayaro!" Den-O said, attempting to slash his counterpart with his DenGasher, only to be blocked.

"Still hiding behind your demons, weakling?" Another Den-O laughed, addressing Ryotaro directly.

"Hey, your fight's with me!" Den-O snapped.

"Hah! Just as I thought! You let those freaks fight for you instead of yourself? How pathetic and cowardly of you. Grow a pair and face me like a man!"

Ryotaro snarled as the Another Rider continued flinging insults his way.

"Oi Ryotaro, don't let him get to your head! He's just talking out of his ass!" Momotaros told Ryotaro.

"I know. That's exactly why I'm angry." Ryotaro said, before Den-O broke the deadlock and slashed Another Den-O hard, sending the latter backwards.

"Judai, tell Kuromu we need to go Final Form!" Den-O called out.

"Uhhhhh… a bit busy right now!" Judai said, as he dodged an attack from Another Decade. "Whoa! Hey! Watch it!" He said, continuing to dodge and or have Terra Wingman run interference, "Winged Kuriboh, think you can do it?"

"Kuri! Kuri!" Winged Kuriboh saluted before flying off.

During the battle, Decade and Another Decade continued to lock blades, the Another Rider laughing as he did.

"To think, our leader has revived the very monsters you gave your life to destroy." Another Decade taunted him, "How sad must it be to have all your efforts be for nothing?"

"As long as people still remember me, that means I can come back as much as I want to stop them. No matter how stupid I'll look!" Decade refuted.

"Hah! And all you'll be doing is cursing yourself to eternity if you keep on doing that!" Another Decade laughed as he continued his assault. "And that Narutaki fellow will not stop hounding you until you're dead!"

"Guess he and I are in agreement then." He chuckled before kicking the Another Rider away.

"Oryaaaaaaaah!"

"Haaaaaaaah!"

FINAL VENT!

EXCEED CHARGE

"Kibojutsu: Rekkadan!"

RIDER KICK!

Another Decade looked up to see Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Hibiki, and Kabuto flying straight for him in preparation for a Quadruple Rider Kick.

With a smirk, Decade got behind his Another Rider counterpart and kicked him in the back of the head. He then took out his card, opening the DecaDriver and inserting it in before closing it.

FINAL FORM RIDE! ALL R-R-R-RIDERS!

At once, The Riders that attacked transformed into the Kuuga Gouram, Agito Tornador, Ryuki Dragreder in addition to the original, Hibiki Ongekiko, and ZECTer Kabuto. Decade then leaped into the air, activating his finisher.

FINAL ATTACK RIDE! D-D-D-DECADE!

After Decade's symbol locked Another Decade down, the five transformed Riders all dived down for all huge aerial assault one after another, crashing into the Another Rider. Decade came in last, as his Final Attack Ride cards appeared in front of him, kicking Another Decade, sending the latter flying before exploding.

Meanwhile, Winged Kuriboh flew straight for Kuromu, who was dodging and kicking away several SHOCKER grunts.

"Kuri kuri!" He chirped to the Rider Duelist.

"Huh? Winged Kuriboh?" Kuromu blinked.

"Kuri, Kuri! Kuri!"

"He's saying that Den-O needs a Final Form boost." Philip said.

"Got it." Kuromu nodded, before he drew a card and played. "I play Final Henshin! Upgrading Den-O to Liner Form!"

Back at the other battle…

Den-O heard the familiar train whistle. The DenKamen Sword appeared in Den-O's hand. "Oi, Ryotaro!"

"Yeah! Let's do it!" Ryotaro said, before Den-O took the pass and inserted it in the back of the blade.

LINER FORM!

Soon, Den-O evolved into his Liner Form, which meant that now Ryotaro was in full control.

"Hah! As if a final form will-"

*SLASH! SLASH! SLASH!*

"GAHHHHHHHHHHH!" Another Den-O shouted in pain when Den-O slashed him three times with the DenKamen Sword, sparks flying off.

"Don't you ever shut up?!" Ryotaro snapped. "I'm getting real tired of your taunting!"

Momotaros was surprised, 'Glad he grew a backbone in the years we've all been apart.'

"Momotaros, we're finishing this! NOW!"

"Got it!" Momotaros affirmed.

"Ryotaro's mad…" Ryuutaros mumbled.

"Ah~ah, so it would seem." Urataros agreed. "He's really grown since then."

"His strength is gonna make everyone cry with that attitude." Kintaros gruffed.

URA ROD!

KIN AX!

RYUU GUN!

MOMO SWORD!

As all four tunes of the Imagin's forms played at the same time. An astral projection of the DenLiner came flying in and Den-O jumped on the tracks in front of it.

"Hissatsu waza! Railway Liner Spike!"

"YOU ACTUALLY SAID SOMETHING COOL!" The Taros cried out.

He then sliced through the Another Rider counterpart as Another Den-O cried out in pain. He stood for a while, before electricity crackled throughout his entire body before falling to his knees and exploding afterwards.

"Never insult me or my friends, ever again." Ryotaro snarled.

"Hey you guys, you made it!" Judai cheered as he saw everyone had regrouped.

PRISM! MAXIMUM DRIVE!

"Uh-oh, sounds like Kuro needs help." Judai said.

That was when Yukina gave Asuka the briefcase, "Here. You two need to get this to him at any cost. It's the only thing that can hopefully stop Oogumo."

"Guess we're on." The mutt said as he picked Asuka up and quickly ran as fast as he could.

---

Earlier…

"Grah!" Kuromu cried out as he got tackled to the ground by some S.H.O.C.K.E.R grunts, who were mobbing him and trying to rip his deck or Duel Disk off of him. They did succeed in snagging some cards from the wing but..

"RIDER KICK!"

Ichigo kicked them and allowed the Rider Duelist to get them back and place them back on his Duel Disk.

"Daijoubu ka, shonen?" Ichigo asked.

"This isn't the only time I've been trampled. I can handle it." Kuromu reassured him.

"Teme~!" W snarled as he and Another Double stared one another down.

"Heh, relying on others. What a joke! The only one you should trust is yourself and that's it!"

"That could only get you so far," Philip said.

"So what? I've done great on my own! I don't need anyone else!" Another Double laughed. But then he was suddenly punched by… Kuromu?! And right on the jaw no less.

"That was your limit to begin with!" Kuromu snapped. "There will be times that there will be something far greater than ourselves that we can't do things alone! The only reason the Riders can do things on their own, is because they had the support of others! No matter how big or small they can contribute to the cause of a greater good, the bonds we share as humans are stronger than ever!"

"Damn it, who do you think you are?" Another Double snapped.

"I'm a student kicking your ass with a children's card game!" Kuromu said, before taking out a card. "I activate Final Form Kamen Ride!" He said, before he activated, and his hands developed an aura. "Shotaro-san, Philip-san. Chotto kusuguttai zo."

"Eh? EH?! No, no, no, no! Wait, wait, wait!" Shotaro cried out, before Kuromu got behind W and placed his hands on their spine and started pulling the two-in-one Rider apart. "Ahhhhhhhh, not this again!"

As W became Cyclone-Cyclone and Joker-Joker, something was different. Namely, their drivers were completely different, resembling variants of the WDriver with only one slot for GaiaMemories.

CYCLONE!

JOKER!

"Dammit, this ain't Mortal Kombat!" Shotaro snapped at Kuromu.

"Interesting, I'm sure you only had one Lost Driver." Phillip posited

"Che, as if that will stop me!" Another Double shouted, before charging at the three. But the two Riders, Cyclone and Joker, performed a double lariat to knock him to the ground. Kuromu ran up and lifted his leg to perform an axe kick, but Another Double got out of the way in the nick of time. But that didn't stop Kuromu from continuing the assault.

"Oi, Phillip! Let's end this!" Joker called out.

CYCLONE: MAXIMUM DRIVE!

JOKER: MAXIMUM DRIVE!

"Here's one for good measure!" Kuromu shouted, doing a roundhouse to Another Double's face, making him stagger. By the time he recovered, it was too late, as he looked up and saw Cyclone and Joker. As the winds carried them up, Cyclone landed a Rider Kick while Joker landed a Rider Punch.

"Graaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!" Another Double yelled in pain as he was sent flying. When Cyclone and Joker landed safely, Another Double got up, and a white line of light emerged from the middle of his body. He cried out in pain, before he was split apart and upon falling to the ground, green and black smoke plumed before exploding into flames.

"Whew… That… should be the last one." Kuromu sighed in relief.

But then a blur suddenly knocked Shotaro and Philip away and it grabbed Kuromu by the neck.

It was Oogumo and he was not happy. "Enough of these games!" He roared as he tore the Duel Disk off of the Rider Duelist's arm and tossed it aside.

"Kuromu!" Shotaro and Philip called out, and unfortunately, they turned into spirit forms after Oogumo ripped the Duel Disk away from Kuromu. They can't do anything.

"Shounen!" Ichigo called out as he attempted to rescue Kuromu, but Oogumo sent a wave of dark energy, sending Ichigo to the ground, tumbling.

"You have been a thorn in my side for the last time." He snarled as he tightened his grip around Kuromu's neck. "Time and time again, you ruined my plans… all of this… none of this would happen if you-"

"Shut… the hell… up…!" Kuromu snarled, trying to break free, gripping Oogumo's wrist with his hands.. "We both know… that you would've screwed with us, regardless whether or not you had those plans… and besides… you destroyed your plans yourself… when you zapped me and Asuka… in front of Daitokuji-sensei…!"

"I'll find another way. But first, I'll make sure you've drawn your last! Pathetic! Card!" The mouthless cyclops roared, punctuating each word with a squeeze of his neck, before focusing another ball of dark energy… and aiming it straight for Kuromu's Duel Disk. "Those Riders are bound to their cards, yes? Once I destroy them, they'll be sent back to the Rider World where Hell awaits them!"

"No… don't… ack!" Kuromu choked.

"Asuka! Fastball Special!"

"Wha-!" Oogumo quickly found himself punched in the face, making him stumble, involuntarily letting go of and dripping Kuromu to the ground before crying out, "The flames! Why won't they go out!"

"COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!" Kuromu coughed out, regaining much needed air, being on all-fours, while holding his throat. "COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH, COUGH!"

He looked up and saw Asuka standing over him while Rex helped summon W back to the field.

"Kuro!" Asuka gasped, kneeling on one knee next to him, while holding him.

"COUGH, COUGH, I'm fine…" Kuromu panted heavily. "More importantly… since when can you make fire from your hands?" He asked incredulously.

"It's a recent development." She told him before giving the Rider Duelist the briefcase.

"What's this…?" He pondered.

"Mrs. Yukina told me to give this to you."

"Eh? Kaa-san and Tou-chan are here? They're back?" Kuromu gasped.

"Yeah. I think you should open it before I'm mince meat!" Rex yelped as he zipped in and out of the way of Oogumo's attacks.

"Wait, how did Rex get faster?" The Rider Duelist asked. as it was clear that the mutt's speed had become greater than he knew it.

"KUROMU!" A voice shouted. Everyone stopped what they're doing and turned their attention towards the source of the voice as he saw his parents, Asuka's parents, and his friends, alongside the other Kamen Riders.

"Kaa-san! Tou-chan, everyone!" Kuromu said.

"So… the good doctor returns…" Oogumo spat, finally keeping his attention away from the mutt. "Perfect. You're just in time to watch your son die, Dr. Shiryuu!"

"Then you'll have to expect that somewhere else… KUROMU! These are for you!" His father shouted before tossing a Deck box to the Rider Duelist as hard as he could, to which his son caught.

"Open the briefcase!" Yukina called out.

Kuromu nodded, before doing so. However, upon opening it, what Kuromu saw shocked him. "Hold on- what- is this what I think it is?" He gasped, looking back at his mother for confirmation.

"No way…" Asuka breathed out, seeing it as well.

"It took some time, but we were able to finish the first one. This is just for you, and you alone!"

Kuromu looked at his mother for a moment longer before taking the items out of the briefcase.

Inside were two things.

The first was a golden rectangular device with what looked to be a touch screen, alongside an empty compartment that looked like it could hold a Deck. There was also a card scanner on the top. It showed several exposed circuitry tracing along the entire device as two small energy disc-blades appeared on the top and bottom of it. The screen showed none other than the Millenium Eye in the center of it.

Then there was the card. It looked nothing like the Duel Monster cards he was used to, the reverse side of the card was silver, but there was a metallic golden logo that depicted a Rider helmet. Looking at the face of the card, the picture and card text box was bordered by gold, and the Attribute logo was dark enough to differentiate the gold border to indicate that it was LIGHT-Attribute. One other key difference was that there was no Level, as well as no ATK or DEF points.

"What is that?!" Oogumo demanded.

"That… is my creation, my Magnum Opus: The Duel Driver! It will put an end to your terror. Kuromu, use it and end this monster's ambitions!"

"Right!" Kuromu nodded. He looked at the device briefly, then looked back at S.H.O.C.K.E.R Leader. "You're going down, Oogumo!" He shouted, before placing the device on his waist. A metallic shot out from both sides attaching it to his body.

DUEL DRIVER!

Afterwards he opened up the Deck Box and inside was a Deck of cards similar to the Transformation Card, all sporting the same card format. He placed the Transformation Card on top of the Deck, then inserted it in the Deck Holder.

DECK SET: TRANSFORMATION!

Suddenly, what sounded like an electric guitar mixed with a type of Egyptian flute sound playing soon rang out from the device, to Kuromu's confusion. But he paid it no mind. He drew the top card from the device, while posing with his left arm in front of him, as if he were holding a Duel Disk, then rapidly swung his right arm towards his left until it was up in the air, while holding the card.

"HENSHIN!"

Finally, he inserted the card onto the card scanner, causing the screen to display the symbol for a Transformation Summon.

SUMMON: KAMEN RIDER DUELER!

The small holographic projector just above the screen produced a hard light projection of the Kuromu's Transformation Card, pulling back towards the user and materializing a black bodysuit made with nanotechnology alongside a set of gold-colored wireframes.

A golden glow appeared around him before coalescing into a helmet before the Rider Duelist. After grabbing and placing the helmet on, the helmet transformed and created the rest of his armor.

He was soon clad in a black bodysuit, with silver armor that had gold accents on it. The front chest plate resembled the blade of the Battle City Duel Disk while there was a smaller Duel Disk attached to his right arm guard. The boots were mainly silver while the wrists and ankles had a golden ring around them with the same Millennium Eye in the center of the rings. The helmet had two large, blue compound eyes with some silver on the side of it and what looked to be the classic Duel Disk, Life Point counter with a red gem in the center, two large antennas, and gold on the top and sides of the mouth guard.

IT'S TIME TO D-D-D-D-DUEL!

Ichigo managed to regain his footing and when he looked up, a shocked expression etched behind his mask. "Shounen… omae…!"

"That… is… awesome!" Judai cheered.

"No way…" Sho gasped in shock. "Kuro's a… a… he's…!"

---

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!" An eccentric man declared, holding up a birthday cake that was adorned with cake toppers that had seven flowers made out of icing, each one with a different color of gold, blue, dark blue, purple, white, black, and green. "How wonderful! A new hero is born!"

---

"HE'S A KAMEN RIDER!" Rika, Koji, and Rex exclaimed, before everyone else started reacting to this new change, expressing shock and awe.

"Woah…" Shotaro muttered.

"How very interesting…" Philip mused.

"Haruto-san, are you seeing this?! Are you seeing this?!" Fourze exclaimed, shaking Wizard excitedly.

"Yeah I see it!" Wizard cried out.

"Well I'll be! The kid's a Rider now!" Kivat laughed.

"Pyun pyun~! He is!" Tatsulot agreed.

"Belt-san, this is…" Drive muttered.

"A new Rider is born in our ranks." Krim said, showing his happy emoji.

"Obaa-chan ga itte ita: 'People become stronger through adventures.'" Kabuto quoted. "He's truly become strong and is now fulfilling his destiny."

"He became a trump card." Blade added.

"And realizing his full potential." Agito said, before chuckling, "I'm also not the only Primary Rider that's gold armored anymore."

"My apprentice…" Silent Magician smiled softly, as she appeared, having witnessed the transformation for herself.

"Sir Kuromu," Minerva said, as she too appeared to see it.

Decade checked his Ride Booker as it showed three Rider Cards that appeared for Dueler. His Kamen Ride card and his subsequent Final Form and Final Attack Ride cards. He smirked behind his helmet. "Looks like this world got its Kamen Rider."

Zi-O nodded in agreement before noticing a new Ridewatch appearing for him, one that was silver with a red dial and button, the top showcasing Dueler's symbol and on the bottom, the year 2004. But afterwards, the watch disappeared. "Huh, that's weird…"

"Whoa…" Kuromu, or rather Dueler, muttered as he looked down at himself in this new armor.

"Heh… HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Oogumo howled with laughter, the S.H.O.C.K.E.R leader cackling at such a ridiculous idea. "You, of all things to create with your genius intellect, built a Rider Belt?!"

"What better way to make you seethe in anger and shock again, than a Rider being created due to your own failure." Kyoshiro smirked.

"Hah! As if that will make any difference!" Oogumo snarked.

"Oh it will." Dueler said, "After what you did to me, my friends, and especially my family… you're going to pay for EVERYTHING!"

"If Ichigo, Decade and OOO couldn't put me down for good, what makes you think you can?" The S.H.O.C.K.E.R Leader questioned.

"I may not be able to put you down since you can't truly die… but I can certainly kick you out of my world!" Dueler said, before approaching Oogumo, then ran towards him.

"As if that can do anything to me now!" The cyclops monster proclaimed, before glowing a dark aura and unleashing it, prompting Dueler to briefly stop in his tracks. When the dark aura dispersed, it revealed that his head had changed. It now had snakes wrapped around his head covering that one eye.

"Oh hail nah! Nah, nah, nah, nah, nah!" Koji cried out, hiding behind Rika.

"What's with you?" Rex asked, confused.

"You already know I hate snakes!"

As the true face of the S.H.O.C.K.E.R Leader was revealed, the cyclops unraveled the snakes that were wrapped around his head as they lunged to bite, inject venom, or strike at the new Rider. Dueler rushed in dodging or smacking the snakes away, before managing to land a few punches to the now Medusa-like cyclops. Oogumo slid back a few feet from the impact of the last punch.

The S.H.O.C.K.E.R Leader hissed and growled as the snakes curled up and began moving around as what looked to be a fireball was forming in front of the eye of the cyclops kaijin.

"Kuromu, use the Duel Deck!" Yukina called out. "Draw a card and use it!"

"Eh? H-Hai!" Kuromu said, before drawing a card from his Duel Deck. The card in question depicted a straight-edge Duel Disk blade that was black with a red edge. And the disk of this weapon was a hilt where the Duel Deck can be inserted. He looked down at the card slot on top of his Driver and inserted it in, the touch screen revealing the card art.

EQUIP: DUEL BLADE!

The Duel Disk attachment on his arm soon changed into the black and red disk from the card as the blade grew and extended as he reeled his arm back and thrust it upward, sending an energy slash at the kaijin as it not only cut some of the snakes off but stopped the fireball from being fully conjured.

"Grahhhhhhhhhh!" Oogumo roared in anger, as the fireball exploded in his face.

"Incredible…" Misawa said in awe.

"Give him hell, Kuro!" Rika shouted out to help boost her friend's confidence in the fight.

"Raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh!" Dueler roared as he charged in at the snake cyclops.

The S.H.O.C.K.E.R Leader growled as he sent smaller fire balls to try and push back the new Rider. But once he was close, the snakes lunged out, wrapping around him and attempting to squeeze the life out of Dueler.

"Let's see you get out of this one, boyo!"

"Kuro!" His friends cried out.

"Errrrrgh…" Dueler grunted as he managed to draw another card from his Duel Driver. This card's art was a Summon Card, and this one depicted a version of Ichigo which resembled an actual grasshopper-human hybrid. Struggling, he managed to place it on the monster zone of his Duel Blade.

SUMMON: RIDER AIDE - BATTAMAN!

At that instance, that same grasshopper-human hybrid monster appeared from a golden portal, jumping out of it and diving down a Rider Kick to Oogumo's face, causing the snake cyclops to reel in pain, involuntarily letting Kuromu loose.

"Battaaaaaaaaa!"

"Whew, looks like he's got some little buddies too!" Judai cheered.

"That creature looks like you." Decade commented towards Ichigo.

"I'm flattered, if I must be honest." The grasshopper Rider chuckled.

"Insolent vermin!" Oogumo snarled, after recovering from being attacked.

"So you're a Rider Aide, huh?" Dueler mused. "Name's Kuromu, nice to meetcha."

"Batta, batta!"

"Likewise." Dueler nodded, before looking at the snake cyclops. "Alright Battaman, let's take down this bastard once and for all."

"Battaaaa!" Battman shouted, before the two charged in, with the latter landing several rapid kicks onto the eyeless cyclops while Dueler ran Oogumo through with his sword. He then drew another card, this time of a humanoid dragonfly.

SUMMON: RIDER AIDE - TONBOMAN!

Coming out from a golden portal was a hybrid of a dragonfly-human hybrid, its head with that of a dragonfly being red and white with the actual thorax for headwear and the rest of it, being an insect-like human body.

"Tonboooo!"

"It reminds me of the Meganeura Dopant we fought a while back." Philip observed.

"Ugh, don't remind me… that guy was a pain in the ass." Shotaro groaned.

With its high speed, Tonboman was able to dodge each of Oogumo's snakeheads before kicking him in the eye, earning a high five from his fellow Rider Aide.

"That cyclops is really getting his ass kicked." Jun grinned.

"Of course he is, he's the bad guy after all!" Fubuki added with a smile of his own.

"You insignificant little ants!" Oogumo roared.

"Insignificant we may be, even something small can make a huge impact!" He said, before drawing two cards. These cards were Battle Cards, depicting W's LunaMetal form attack and Battaman and Tonboman attacking a monster from different sides.

"And what an impact it will make!" He said, revealing the face of the card before inserting it into the Duel Driver.

BATTLE: PINCER ATTACK!

BATTLE: METAL ILLUSION!

Tonboman quickly flew around Battaman fast enough to lift him into the air via a tornado, before the two Rider Aides dived down quickly. Oogumo defended himself with the snakes, but the two Rider Aides split up and delivered their attacks from different sides.

Dueler then rushed in and slashed Oogumo multiple times, sparking flying out as the latter staggered backwards. He then raised his arm in the air and the hard light projector above the Duel Terminal produced an almost exact replica of the Metal Shaft in his hand, which became stretchable. Kuromu spun around the Metal Shaft to produce seven rings of golden energy. "METAL ILLUSION!" he shouted, swinging the Metal Shaft on the rings, sending them flying towards Oogumo.

The cyclops roared in pain as the energy rings exploded on impact. Even though he was damaged, he was still standing.

"He's almost there." Ryo smirked.

"Go Kuro!" Judai cheered.

"You can do it!" Sho shouted.

"Kick his scaly ass!" Rex yelled.

Jun called out, "Take him down!"

"Do it for Daitokuji-sensei!" Misawa said.

After dismissing the two Rider Aides, Kuromu rushed towards Oogumo and the two began exchanging blows with punches and kicks.

"How is this possible?!" Oogumo demanded, as he kept on the defense, parrying and blocking Dueler's strike. "I'm better than you in every sense! I'm the leader of S.H.O.C.K.E.R!"

"Thar never stopped Hongo-senpai!" Dueler called out as he used palm strikes, punches, roundhouse kicks, any form of attack to catch him off balance. "I'll never stop fighting for what's right! I don't care how many times I have to kick your ass to make that point!"

He quickly fired off a few rapid punches before socking Oogumo directly in the eye. While the mouthless cyclops was stunned, Dueler delivered a strong punt to the stomach that was followed up by a shoulder check.

"I will keep on fighting for those who can't fight for themselves! I protect those who are dear to me! Oryahhhh!" He then punched Oogumo so that he slid back to gain distance. "And I will especially protect this world and the peoples' smiles so they can live their lives in earnest! And for those you've killed prior to this… especially for those who gave their lives to stop you… I will not let their sacrifices be in vain!"

"DAMN BRAAAAAAAAAT!" Oogumo shouted as he now unleashed multiple snakes off his head and continued to attack with the snakes, to which Dueler had no problem fending off. "Your idealisms are nothing but lies! Kamen Riders are inherently evil because they were born from the evil that is S.H.O.C.K.E.R! Your masks hide the true monster that lies underneath! But I stand for everything that is real! While indeed I am a monster, this monster will become the reaper that will bring an end to this era of lies! Only then will true happiness be achieved!"

"And do you think people will accept that?" Dueler asked, "Do you honestly think that?"

"It is the ONLY truth! You Riders are-"

"If that's the case, then what does that make you?" Kuromu asked, as he kept blocking and parrying the snakes, approaching closer and closer.

"Grk!" Oogumo gasped.

"If you think that all humanity are monsters, then that doesn't make monsters like you one in a million. It makes you one of a million. Perfectly uniform."

"So what?! Your human individuality means nothing in the face of my vision! YOU'RE NOT A HERO, YOU'RE A PART OF S.H.O.C.K.E.R! YOU ARE A MONSTER!"

"Well, you're right about one thing. I'm not a hero." Kuromu said. "In fact, I never asked to be one." Dueler said, as he approached closer and closer each time he parries the snakes away from him. "Yet I willingly answered the call because you threatened to destroy everything I hold dear! Just because you think the world revolves around you! You say that I'm a monster? A part of S.H.O.C.K.E.R? If that's true, then I'm the hero that will notice that evil for myself, fight it, and overcome it!"

"Why you little…!"

"And before you even say anything else, whatever monster you claim we have within does not make us monsters! We use what we have, to do something worthwhile! Because at the end of the day, it's about protecting the people and becoming something more than ourselves! No matter what you throw at us, we'll still come out finding a way to make the world better in light of that! And we don't just fight for justice! We fight for human freedom! That is our happiness! That is our resolve!"

He then reared back his fist as he then shouted…

"THAT'S WHAT IT MEANS TO BE A KAMEN RIDER!"

With that, he sent the mouthless cyclops into several trees with that punch.

Koji called out, "Knock his ass off the dance floor!"

"Go get 'em, Kuromu!" Rika shouted.

"We believe in you!" Junko & Momoe added.

"Remove his evil from this world!" Annette called out.

Fubuki gripped his fists, "He's almost down! Don't let up!"

Chiyomi & Akihiro called out in unison, "I-keeeeee!"

"DO IT SON!" Kyoshiro yelled.

Yukina shouted, "End this horror!"

Asuka then yelled, "Kuromu! You can win this!"

Dueler then drew his next card and smirked. This card was comparable to Decade's Final Attack Ride. It depicted the Pharaoh Atem pointing forward as Dueler lands a Rider Kick.

"I'll finish this in one turn!" Dueler declared, showing the face of the card, before inserting it in the Duel Driver.

FINAL TURN: SENNEN BREAKER!

A golden aura quickly formed around Dueler as he leaped into the air. As he did, a golden spell circle with unrecognizable symbols around the edge of said circle with the Millennium Eye in the middle, made of hard light, appeared. Oogumo staggered to his feet and looked shocked as Dueler prepared to attack. A row of large hard light projected cards, mimicking Decade's Final AttackRide cards, then appeared in front of Dueler leading towards Oogumo. The Millennium Eye magic circle then dispersed into motes of light, gathering at Dueler's right foot as he extended it while tucking his left foot in.

"SENNEN BREAKER!" Dueler shouted, as he dived down towards Oogumo, flying through the hard light card projection. A golden aura enveloped Dueler each time he passes through a holographic card, powering his kick. Eventually, he landed his Rider Kick directly on Oogumo's eye.

"EYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!*

An explosion of fire erupted from where Oogumo stood. Everyone covered themselves from the impact, as Dueler had bounced off of Oogumo from the impact, landing safely after.

"Did… did he get him?" Sho wondered, gulping.

When the flames died down, they saw Oogumo was still alive. But barely as he was on his hands and knees, in complete agony.

"OH C'MON!" Rex cried out in shock. "What's it gonna take to kill this motherfucker?!"

*SMACK!*

"Ow! Okay, I get it! Language!" The mutt covered his arms to avoid another slap.

"Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa… haaaaaaaaaaaa…" Oogumo wheezed hoarsely. "It would seem… haaaaaaaaaaaa… I may have… underestimated you…"

Dueler stood there, suspicious of how he spoke.

"This… haaaaaaaaaaaa… isn't over…" Oogumo continued as he forced himself to stand back up. "You may have… defeated me now… but in due time, I will… be back with a vengeance… I will conquer all of reality… all will fall before me… as its god… and I will gladly partake in your demise, personally… haaaaaaaaaaaa… haaaaaaaaaaaa… so enjoy this victory, while you can… and don't you DARE think that I will fall so easily…!"

Before he could question the eyeless cyclops, an Aurora Curtain appeared and whisked the eyeless cyclops away. Tsukasa, after cancelling out his transformation, merely looked to the trees where Narutaki was watching. The mysterious man then vanished in his own Aurora Curtain, leaving the battlefield only populated by the Duelists, their Monsters, and the other Riders.

Kuromu sighed softly, before looking towards the left side of the Driver, where there was a small button. Curious, he pressed it and a small compartment opened up, revealing the cards that he used. After taking it out, the armor parts disappeared and the golden wireframes that made his bodysuit retracted into the former to which the wireframes then retreated into the Duel Driver itself, revealing his civilian form.

He then turned towards the group, smiling tiredly, and his body felt very heavy as all the adrenaline left him.

*PLOP!*

Time seemed to slow down as Kuromu's hearing was distorted. He could only hear the muffling sounds of his friends and family calling out. His blurry vision saw figures running towards him. Afterwards, the darkness embraced him.
