Everyone across the province buzzed with speculation. Ryuga, however, had already reported the situation to his family.
As for how the Build Form was achieved—even though he hadn't extracted the Knight Power from War Rabbit, the system he used was based on the Build System. That made it easy enough to recreate the Build Full Bottles.
After spending so much time with War Rabbit, he had even ended up holding onto his belt. In fact, before obtaining the Evol Driver, the last transformation Ryuga had used was with War Rabbit's belt. Essentially, they had swapped belts.
Now, with the original Build belt in his possession, it became even easier to reconstruct the Full Bottles needed.
"Of course—it's the power of Kamen Rider Evol!" Ora exclaimed, immediately recognizing it from past data.
Sougo didn't say anything, but Kadoya Tsukasa and Daiki Kaito—Haidong Dashu—took special note of Ora's words.
If there existed a Legendary Knight Build Form, then could there be an Agito Form? A Ghost Form? Or even versions similar to their own—Decade and Diend? The implication was clear: someone had begun replicating their unique Rider powers.
As expected of the "King of Debt" in the Rider World—it was only natural for Tsukasa to think along these lines.
Before anyone realized it, his motive shifted from testing Ryuga to uncovering just how far Ryuga's powers extended. And of course, he quickly devised a plan.
After trading a few blows, Tsukasa stepped back and pulled out a new card, sliding it into his Driver.
[KamenRide!]
[Ghost!]
"Ore! Let's go! Kakugo! Gho-Gho-Gho-Ghost!"
"Go! Go! Go! Go!"
"Now there are three Ghosts," Tsukasa smirked, glancing at the Alien Ghost, Ghost-armored King Tori, and his own Ghost form. He clapped his hands, amused.
Ryuga laughed. "What now? Planning to play mahjong?"
Tsukasa only shrugged, signaling for Ryuga to show his next move.
"As you wish," Ryuga replied. He raised his left hand and materialized an orange Full Bottle.
His transformation belt, much like Evol's, held a Rider System slot on the left and a variety of other bottles on the right. Realistically, using the right hand would've been easier. But, perhaps influenced by the showy habits of Evol and War Rabbit, Ryuga had taken up the dramatic cross-handed transformation style as well.
[Ghost! Rider System!]
[Evolution!]
[Are you ready?]
"Transform!"
[Kaigan! Kakugo! Gho-Gho-Gho-Ghost!]
[Fuhahahahaha!]
"And now, there are four Ghosts! That's a 'Heavenly Explosion!'" Ryuga declared, lifting the hood off his Ghost form for effect.
Tsukasa and Daiki watched, both silently confirming what they suspected: Ryuga did have access to multiple legendary systems.
"Technically, it's five," Ryuga added casually.
"You mean that guy?" Tsukasa asked, pointing to Sky Temple Zun, who stood behind Gates and Tsukuyomi.
"Exactly. Aren't you the one who loves making friends with knock-off Riders in parallel worlds? What's wrong—afraid you can't beat the originals?"
"Who said that?!" Tsukasa snapped. "Take this!" He lunged forward once more.
Coincidentally, the Alien Ghosts also chose that moment to attack Sougo again, forcing Gates and Tsukuyomi to jump back into action amid the chaos of four Ghost Riders.
Even Kaito Daiki was tempted to summon a fifth Ghost Rider just for fun. But in truth, neither he nor Tsukasa were bound by the limitations of the TV series—where one was forced to remain the main Rider, and the other the secondary. That was just script logic.
Still, Haidong decided against it. Without treasure involved, there was no reason to fight. He vanished quietly to continue his investigations into this strange world.
"Hey! Your wife just ran off! Aren't you going to chase her?" Ryuga teased, watching Haidong disappear.
"Your wife just ran off!" Tsukasa snapped.
"What are you talking about? My wife's waiting for me at the plaza for dinner," Ryuga laughed.
Smack!
"Argh!" Ryuga groaned as a bottle of Fat House Happy Water smacked him in the back of the head.
"Who's your wife?!" Ora shouted, beet red.
"Ora?!"
"A Time Jacker?!"
Her outburst caught the attention of everyone present. Embarrassed, Ora spun around and stormed off.
Seeing this, Ryuga immediately canceled his transformation and chased after her. "My wife, don't run!"
"Who's your wife!?"
"Who else but you? You block me from finding others every time!"
"Oh, so you admit you're trying to find other women?!"
"I said I tried! Didn't succeed, did I?"
"…!"
As their bickering voices faded into the distance, Sougo turned to Gates, inspired. "Gates! I just thought of a way to stop the Time Jackers from interfering!"
"What is it?" Gates asked.
"As the saying goes: be bold! Make the Time Jackers go on maternity leave. Or better—go after Heure! Ryuga just gave us a perfect example!"
"I like women, you idiot!" Gates shouted.
"The opposite sex is for reproduction. Same-sex is true love. Besides, Heure's kinda cute, right?"
"I swear to—!" Gates hurled a plastic chair at Sougo.
Meanwhile, Heure, hearing everything from the sidelines, jumped out in exasperation and ordered the Alien Ghost to chase Sougo, who was now sprinting for his life.
Tsukuyomi and Sky Temple Zun quickly followed.
Within seconds, only Tsukasa was left standing alone in the food court.
Tsukasa (internally):Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Why am I the only one left?!
The next day, with two dark circles under his eyes, Sougo successfully resolved the Alien Ghost incident.
Tsukasa, as expected, destroyed the Ghost Ride Watch that Gates had "borrowed," then used half of its energy to forge a special Decade Ride Watch, handing it to Gates to pass on to Sougo.
Though the original Ghost Watch was lost, Sougo received a new one from Sky Temple Zun. This time, he could fully control its power—unlike the Drive Watch, which was prone to being seized by the Demon King.
Of course, to Ryuga, it didn't matter. If the Demon King willed it, every Ride Watch would fall under his control, regardless of who held it.
Ryuga chose not to interfere with Tsukasa's plan this time. If it failed and Decade's power was lost permanently, that would be a strategic disaster.
Instead, Ryuga focused on absorbing the Knight Power gained during his duel with Tsukasa, as well as the mysterious energy resembling the "dimensional wall"—the kind infused with space-time.
And don't ask where it came from. After all that fighting, if he hadn't earned Decade's power by now, what was the point?
