Chapter 39 - Turn 38: Oogumo's Declaration of War! A Hero is Born!

*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!"

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.
