//------------------------------// // time 4 rider time 2018 part 4 // Story: Ruler of Time & Space! Zi-O // by Kamen rider yokai //------------------------------// It was the night of the fall formal and to no one’s surprise but sunset twilight won and I managed to keep her distracted as I pointed out the crown was hers in the first place and that she still had to apologize for taking it from royalty. That made her wince as she was lucky twilight is forgiving as she was under a compulsion spell at the time. We still getting over the fact tsukiyomi was actually our daughter. I was honestly not expecting that revelation but at least I and sunset had a good time. I did have to restrain her as the compulsion kicked in and after twilight said her goodbyes after she explained what happened to sunset and our collective situation. Well before twilight could enter the mirror I groaned as another build showed up. “What in tarnation!” asked Applejack wide-eyed. Sento and ryuga ran up and looked confused. “Guess the time jackers had a backup plan,” I said with a groan as I pulled sunset away as the Another Rider started throwing basketballs and if I remember right flash sentry played basketball and I hadn’t seen him at all. Tsukiyomi wide-eyed pulled out her Faiz phone x and started shooting as I felt the ziku driver I had hid in my tux when I found woz walking up to me. “Well my lord will you stand up and fight and realize your dream of being king or will you let your friends get killed by the Another Rider,” said Woz. “Woz, for one thing, it was never my dream to be a king. Even if I become oma zi-o, I would rather be a protector than a tyrant so for that reason and that reason alone I will fight and uphold the true meaning behind the title Kamen rider!” I told woz as I pulled out my ride watch which glowed and became the zi-o ride watch woz smiled as while it wasn’t the answer he was looking for he presented me with the ziku driver on a velvet pillow and I picked it up. “You should know how to use this,” he said and I smirked. “While I’m glad for your loyalty, woz I’m sorry I had to trick you into giving me a ziku driver,” I told him who went wide-eyed as I pulled out my own from my tux as I tossed the one woz handed me to tsukiyomi. “My lord you already had the belt,” asked woz confused. “Had it the whole time but I needed to give tsukiyomi one as she needed it more than I do,” I said as I put the belt to my waist as tsukiyomi did the same and both of us rotated the white ring around the ride watches and pressed the buttons activating the two. ZI-O!/TSUKIYOMI! Was heard as both of us slotted the watches to our ride side slots on the watch-like belt and pressed the release button as I entered Sogou’s pose while tsukiyomi entered her own as holographic clocks appeared behind us. “Henshin” both of us shouted as we rotated the driver. RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!/TSUKIYOMI! Was heard as the clocks entered the V-shaped position for the clock hands as our respective visors shot out as thee watch bands formed identical armors only Tsukuyomi’s armor was more fit for a female in shape as the symbols landed on our helmets. While mine was purple kanji reading the word rider Tsukuyomi’s visor was in English with the first five letters of her name. Both of us wore black armor with a watch band down the front with purple highlights and had watch knobs on our knees with our arms having ride watch holders while our helmets looked like a white watch face. “Rejoice! The one to inherit all Rider powers, the king of time who will rule over the past and the future. And his name is Kamen Rider Zi-O!” said woz and I sighed as I looked to woz. “Woz if you keep doing that at least do something similar for tsukiyomi turns out she’s my daughter which is why I doubt I become oma zi-o as I don’t abandon family,” I told the now shocked prophet and supporter of my supposed future self. “That explains why she has a near identical ride watch to you, my lord, she is your heir,” he said and I mentally sighed as everyone had sweatdrops at the prophet. “Anyway time to get to work at least before geiz shows up,” I said as I started to walk to where I stood next to tsukiyomi. “Another Build, the past, present, and future are ours to protect! We will restore time back to the way it should be!” I declared pointing at the Another rider as a holographic clock shot out and formed the edge of time. ZIKAN GILADE! KEN! Was heard as I held my blade. “Well looks like he has a good idea of what he’s doing,” said sento amused. “I’m going to help them,” said ryuga only for me to sigh and turn my head to him. “Ryuga as long as Another Build exists you cant transform into a Kamen Rider. He is effectively replacing sento as Kamen rider build according to the timeline. Your history is gone as a result how you both still remember is possible because you were from alternate earth” I told him. “That explains a lot,” said sento nodding. Turning me and tsukiyomi got to work as I used my decade of sword skills to slice the basketballs of energy and she shot at the Another rider distracting him enough for me to prepare the finisher with my sword removing my ride watch and placing it into the slot on my sword. FINISH TIME! ZI-O GIRI GIRI SLASH! With my blade glowing as Another build jumped up to shoot another basketball I leaped after him and cut through both. An explosion happened as flash sentry fell down with the Another ride watch near him. The explosion made everyone else at the fall formal rush out to see what was going on. Before I could move to the watch a red-haired male in red and black arrived and was glaring at me only to look confused at Kamen rider tsukiyomi before seeing her visor. “Tsukiyomi! What are you doing wearing a rider system” asked geiz wide-eyed. “Well for one turns out she’s my daughter and neither of us knew it until twilight over there asked and she had a necklace I have that sunset said I gave to her for safekeeping so keep in mind if you kill me tsukiyomi ceases to exist. I do know about paradoxes after all” I told him and he looked at tsukiyomi. “He’s telling the truth it actually casts doubt he is oma zi-o as he would never abandon the family. Why do you think oma zi-o never went after my mother to get at me in all the time we were fighting against oma zi-o” said tsukiyomi. “I don’t even want to be a demon king or a king, in general, I just want to keep everyone I know safe from harm still how did you manage to get the drive and ghost ride watches from my supposed future self anyway, “I asked. “How did you,” asked geiz wide-eyed. “I’m not the local version of this dimension’s James, I’m from a world where Kamen rider is a tv show I honestly doubt I even have a counterpart in this world”I deadpanned. “Well that explains how he knows me and ryuga besides that visit to 2017 and why he called us sempai,” said sento as the others tried to pick their jaws up except twilight as she knew I was like sunset and said former unicorn was just staring at me and Tsukuyomi’s armor and sighed. “Well it’s official my future husband and daughter are badasses twilight before you leave can you and these five remove the compulsion spell placed on me,” asked sunset. Before we could do anything time froze as Swartz walked up. “Now cant have you mess up the timeline,” he said as I glared at Swartz. The monster in human skin yanked the crown from twilight and placed it on sunset before reactivating the Another ride watch and placed it into flash and walked away as flash once more became Another build. With that time resumed as sunset became sunset satan while I looked to geiz. “Help me and tsukiyomi with Another build twilight and those five can handle freeing sunset,” I told him as he quickly became Kamen rider geiz. With three riders I was somewhat confident but I needed to get sento to hand me the build and cross z ride watches so we can restore time in 2017. And so I can hand him the two ride watches needed to become the build and cross z ride watch. Needless to say each time we battled another build he just won’t stay down! Twilight and the others were not having much luck against sunset satan as she was acting very dazed and unpredictable as she flew up only her eyes went wide as she saw another build was starting to overwhelm the three of us. She suddenly flew right at another build with a fist cocked back and landed a nasty right hook at the Another rider and stood before me and tsukiyomi protectively. “Leave my family alone!” sunset shouted causing the element of magic to light up again as a necklace formed around her neck causing me to drop my jaw under my helmet as her body let out a bright light that resembled flames. Where a devil like being once was now stood a more human-like being covered in a red like bodysuit with yellow trim and a helmet shaped like a Pheonix and around her waist was a belt similar to a ziku driver only resembled a sundial with the ride watch looking a lot like sunset’s cutie mark instead of a rider helmet. ERA time Kamen rider Solar! Was heard as the element of magic fell off her head. “Okay didn’t see that coming,” geiz said wide-eyed as woz was also wide-eyed. “What has drastically altered the timeline to this point! That when I was just expecting my lord to become zi-o I instead get an entire royal family who became riders. What caused sunset to become a rider and why hasn’t she used it back in 2068” woz muttered confused the hell out of his mind. Taking a deep breath I shared a look with sunset and tsukiyomi. “Well, this is one interesting development. Let’s knock him out quick” I said as the three of us pressed the button of our ride watches. FINISH TIME! Pressing the release button on our drivers the three of us rotated our drivers. Sunset’s cutie mark, kanji for kick and romaji for the same appeared in three interlocked rings around the Another rider as the three of us jumped into the air and entered kicking positions. TIME/ERA Break/Crush/STRIKE! Was heard from the three belts as the symbols lined up and shot to our outstretched foot with a clang as we each executed rider kicks on Another Build. With an explosion, flash fell unconscious and I watched as Another build came out from a different place like behind the students as flash’s body vanished. “Crap! Sento, ryuga please hand me those ride watches you got if we want to stop flash from this we got to go to 2017 to stop him from becoming another build for a year!” I shouted to the former riders. The former riders went wide-eyed as they each pulled out the build and cross z ride watches. “Good luck than you two,” said sento tossing the watches to me and I looked to sunset. “Sunset yours with me. Tsukiyomi, geiz do you think you can hold flash off while the two of us head to the past” I asked the other riders. “Should be fine just go!” said tsukiyomi. “What you’re trusting him and your mother with that” asked geiz. “Well they are my parents and that reminds me you are in a lot of hot water with my mom and me for that stunt you pulled yesterday,” tsukiyomi told him her tone frosty and an accent came out that made the red and black rider tense up. “Oh boy, she inherited the Irish temper. Geiz your in for a major beating once things calm down for now”I told him with a wince as I dragged sunset to where tsukiyomi parked the time mazine yesterday. “What!” said geiz in shock snapping his head at me. “She’s not the only one who’s going to beat you up. This was me and James first anniversary since we started dating and you nearly ruined it!” sunset shot out at him before we entered the time machine and set off. Even the mane five with twilight winced and gave geiz an almost pitying look. “Dude you are so boned it’s not even funny,” said rainbow. “That would explain why sunset was very unpleasant yesterday and if tsukiyomi here is any indication she really cares for James so this is one grave you dug yourself in,” said Rarity. “Still I think she herself created a new element of harmony that combined with how much she cares for her future family and awakened mother instincts is what caused her to overcome what that time jacker forced on her to even create that rider system,” Twilight said. Both teen riders from the future were too busy keeping Another build from going after the students to power up for any reply. “Great I’m going to face general sunset’s demon boot camp again! Only this time I’m going to be her first victim! No wonder she looked amused when I joined the resistance! She got to have the chance to train me up from the ground up twice! And she roped her friends into helping train us. What did I ever do to earn this kind of punishment” geiz said once he got a breather. Tsukiyomi gave him a rather dry look. “For one, you nearly ruined my parents first anniversary as a couple, secondly you tried to kill my dad when I strongly told you that it was not the way to handle this and lastly mom would have done this anyway due to your stubborn attitude. So yeah mom has every valid reason to give you hell. Dad said just destroying his ziku driver will prevent him from becoming oma zi-o. Though at the cost of creating an alternate woz that’s a lot more deranged than the one we know already” tsukiyomi told him in a no-nonsense tone. “Really?” asked geiz with an unseen dropped jaw. -2017- Well, I and sunset arrived at the year 2017 alright and quickly found flash fighting sento and ryuga as I and sunset ran over to them. “Oh, zi-o-san! Been months since we saw each other... Is this your girlfriend?” asked ryuga on spotting sunset with me as we were both out of our armors. “Yeah, this is sunset. Need some help with this guy” I asked as I and sunset pulled out our drivers. Placing them to our waists as sento and ryuga did the same we each got our respective transformation gears ready. RABBIT! TANK! BEST MATCH! WAKE UP! CROSS Z! ZI-O! SOLAR! “Henshin!” the four of us said. HAGANE NO MOONASULT! RABBITTANK! YEAH! WAKE UP BURNING GET CROSS Z DRAGON YEAH! RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O! ERA TIME! KAMEN RIDER SOLAR! The four of us lined up. “The law of victory is set!” said build. “I get the feeling I can’t lose!” said cross z. “Flash we will save you from that Ride Watch count on it,” said Solar. “Let’s restore time!” I said pointing at the Another rider. With that, we each charged fighting the Another rider who was using the abilities of various athletes to cause us trouble. Eventually, Build and cross z lost their powers as I got tossed to the end of the road where I spotted Woz waiting. “You know you have the oddest timing,” I told him as I stood up and pulled out the build ride watch and rotated it before pressing the button. BUILD! Putting it onto the unoccupied slot of my driver, in this case, the left slot I unlocked my driver and rotated it. “Build up!” I called catching the kaijin’s attention as Solar saw what I did. RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O! ARMOR TIME! BEST MATCH BUILD! Appearing in front of me was the Build armor which I tapped causing it to split into its various components and start placing itself over my armor as the new kanji slammed into the new faceplate. I was now in mostly silver armor with red and blue in the forms of Kamen rider build’s own rabbit tank form detailed in design with shoulder armor looking like oversized full bottles and on my hand was a large drill. “Rejoice! The one to inherit all Rider powers, the king of time who will rule over the past and the future. And his name is Kamen Rider Zi-O! Build Armor!” called woz grinning madly. Solar did the same with the cross z ride watch making sure to repeat what I did. ERA TIME! KAMEN RIDER SOLAR! LEGEND TIME! WAKE UP BURNING CROSS Z! Her own legend rider armor formed only once it was put over her own armor it altered into a more perfect blend of her base form and the actual cross z armor. She pulled out the beat crosser as woz opened his book again. “Rejoice! The one to inherit all secondary Rider powers, the Queen of time who will rule over the past and the future. And her name is Kamen Rider Solar Cross Z Armor!” said woz having remembered what I asked of him back in 2018. “Did you really have to ask him to do that for me and tsukiyomi hon,” asked Solar giving me a look. “It’s best to humor the guy than anything else. He might not be a saint but well he respects me as a rider enough to be able to be counted on to help us. As long as he is loyal to me I figured best to give him a bit more of a workload in this case even if he was unaware of our relationship in 2068” i told my future wife. “Okay, good point,” she said. “Now let’s build a new future!” I said as now both of us was having a better time against Another Build as we started knocking him around. “Time to finish this,” i said as I pressed both buttons on my ride watches and sunset copied me. FINISH TIME! BUILD/CROSS Z! Rotating our drivers I made physics equations materialize around the Another Rider and sento nodded smirking seeing I did know my physics. The line graph formed before trapping another build as Solar and I leaped on and readied our weapons that were now glowing. VORTECH TIME BREAK! DRAGONIC ERA STRIKE! “Rider Full Solution!” I named the finisher. “Dragon Pheonix Slash,” said Solar naming her finisher. Both of us slashed the Another Rider and skidded to a halt behind him before an explosion happened to let flash collapse to the ground as the Another ride watch clattered to the ground and shattered as various lights shot out possible returning the various people Another build turned into Smash bottles and then ate. I sighed as I removed my watches and sunset did the same. Flash vanished having restored to where he first became Another build without the car crash that injured him in the first place while the red and blue orb formed out of the remains and shot to be splitting into the grease and rouge with evil ride watches alongside the rabbit tank sparkling and rabbit-rabbit/ tank-tank ride watches. I shared a look with sunset. “Well looks like geiz and tsukiyomi got their own backup ride watches now. The last three are for the time mazine itself so I doubt we can use these outside our armors personal weapons for those three,” I told her putting them away. We walked over to the two riders. “Well sento, ryuga ill see you both next year when you become me and sunset’s teachers, “I told the two knowing sento was going to correct me on the name. “Sento? He’s katsuragi takumi” said ryuga confused. “But he doesn’t look like he did anymore then again your history as Kamen riders were just erased from history. Takumi here is now Kiryu sento as a result of that history. It will come back to your memories later so hold on to these and you might get them back” I said tossing the two blank ride watches and sento immediately went into science mode. As i led sunset back to our time she asked me why i gave them the blank ride watches. “Those will eventually become the build and cross z ride watches. Now lets head back to 2018 so we can get twilight home and explain what happened to those five as i bet they will want to know why i and now you can become a super hero to them” i said as we re-entered the time stream. Once we saw twilight off and i led the five girls who twilight asked to befriend sunset over to our place to explain everything with a fearful geiz being dragged by tsukiyomi following. I wonder why he was being scared of sunset for? Meanwhile over at a hospital a certain gamer doctor was about to head to work holding a ride watch of his own.
