Episode 4: Remember That

In the training room, Mirai and Sunset were training with each other. Mirai was wearing a black tank top and black gym shorts. Sunset was wearing a gray sports bra and gray shorts. Ever since Sunset moved in, Mirai and Woz have been training her to fight for herself. Thankfully, since then, there have been no kaijin attacks. So Mirai managed to have time for school and training himself and Sunset.

Sunset ran to Mirai, using her right hand to punch at Mirai. As her fist was gonna make contact, Mirai moved to his right, then he turned, and grabbed Sunset's arm. As he grabbed her arm, Sunset then used her right foot to try to trip him. It was about to make contact with Mirai's leg. But Mirai knew what she was trying to do. He let go of her arm and jumped back to avoid her kick. Sunset was half not expecting this, but also half expected this.

Mirai then ran fast and grabbed her 2 arms from behind her. He then used them to push her down to the mat. After that, they both got up. Mirai looked at Sunset and said, "You've gotten better at this."

Sunset smiled scratching her head and said "Thanks. I never really knew how to fight, so thanks for trying to teach me."

Mirai brings in a huge smile. "No problem. Anything for a friend." He says.

Sunset was washing in the shower in the female locker room. Inside the Chamber of Riders, there are 2 locker rooms used for changing clothes, storing them in lockers, and having showers to clean up. All for after-training activities for the chosen riders to become stronger. They are separated by gender. This was because it was unknown at the time if the future chosen riders were gonna be just males, just females, or both males and females.

Sunset was finishing washing her arms. She was thinking to herself. She looked at her right hand. 'I need to train more. I can't always rely on Mirai to help me… But, if I try to fight back, will other people just antagonize me more?' Sunset thought. 'No, I shouldn't think like that. Mirai is helping me. I don't want to let him down.'

Mirai and Sunset dressed in their casual clothes were about to walk out of the house to go to school. But Woz, who is behind the counter, says "Wait, before you go, I need to have a quick discussion with Sunset real quick." Woz says looking directly at Sunset.

Mirai looks at Sunset with concern. "Don't worry. Go, I'll catch up." Sunset says.

Though a bit concerned, Mirai trusted both Sunset and Woz. So he went out on his way.

In the school cafeteria, Mirai, Sunset, Rarity, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie are eating lunch together. Ever since they witnessed Mirai transforming and since he took Sunset in, they have all been hanging out together. Mirai has been getting along great with them and has been happy to be friends with them. The others have also been getting along well with Mirai, while Rainbow is slightly cautious around him, but he understood why.

Mirai and Sunset were eating from a takoyaki bento box Woz made for them. While the group was conversating, talking about their business and such, Rainbow was particularly the most excited at the table.

"Wow Dashie, you're in a very excited mood today...I LIKE IT!" Pinkie said in her usual excited tone.

After chomping on a piece of steak, she said "Hell freaking yeah! The Musical Showcase is coming up soon and I'm pumped!"

Mirai chuckled at her enthusiasm. Rainbow always seemed competitive but also a good and loyal friend in his eyes. "You're very confident as usual. Do you think you 5 will do well in the competition?

"Heh! Do well? With me as the lead singer, we will definitely win!" Rainbow said with extreme determination. Mirai smiled at this response.

'I applaud Mirai for being able to handle Rainbow's sometimes brash personality at first sight' Rarity thought as she was eating her salad. "I wonder if magic will appear around us when we play our instruments during the showcase?" She said to the others in the group.

"I'm as lost as you, Rarity. It was a lot more up until a week ago. Magic is a strange thing." Applejack said, scratching her head trying to ponder.

Rainbow Dash looked at Mirai with an annoyed expression on her face. "Yeah, a lot more..." Mirai blushed in embarrassment and nervously chuckled a bit.

Inside the music room, Rainbow Dash and the other girls, except for Sunset, were preparing to practice one of their songs. Rainbow was tuning her blue guitar's strings. "Come on guys, hurry up! I guarantee this song will be awesome!" she said while riffing her guitar.

"Yeah….I wish we were using one of my songs," Fluttershy muttered to herself while picking up her tambourine. Mirai overheard this and walked up to her and touched her shoulder, getting her attention.

"How about later, if you're free, you can come to visit my house, then you can show me those songs of yours. I'm very interested." He told her with a kind smile on his face. Fluttershy had smiled at his offer and nodded. From the short time they knew each other, Mirai admired the way that she had a kindness for her friends and love for any kind of animal, no matter how it looks. She went to the band to prepare for the song, Mirai and Sunset are about to watch.

Sunset looked at Mirai. Ever since she moved in with him and Woz, she began to learn more things about him and about Kamen Riders. She saw that Mirai was a very kind person. He has a pure soul that Sunset didn't see in many other people. He was the kind of person to help out anyone, even if they didn't ask. Another thing she learned about him was that he was determined about his goals. Late at night, she witnessed him practicing with his sword, even when he was tiring. He told her that he was sharpening his skills because he wanted to protect everyone from any upcoming Kaijin.

She also discovered some files that Woz gave her. These were files of certain Kamen Riders and she read through some of them, like around 10 or 20. She was really intrigued by the skillset and powers of these heroes. She sometimes wondered if they used magic, seeing as she grew up learning magic.

As Rainbow is having the others re-read the lyrics to make sure they get the song write, Sunset asks "Hey, Mirai. How come you're not gonna be in the competition?"

Mirai looks at her and says "Well, it's just not my thing, you know? I don't really know much about instruments and I don't really sing much. Plus, I would rather train my body than my voice." Sunset nodded in understanding.

After being finally prepared with their instruments, Rainbow and her band start singing their song. As they were playing the song, pony ears and tails appeared around the 5 of them, wings appeared from Rainbow and Fluttershy. As Mirai and Sunset were listening as a personal audience for them, they both thought the song was catchy. While this isn't Mirai's preferred taste in music, his favorite kind being Japanese music, he thought the song they were playing was pretty good.

Then, suddenly, Mirai felt something inside of him. He started sweating a lot around his body. He wondered what was going on, so he took slow breaths to help his brain think. Then, he hunched his body over in discomfort and clenched his stomach. Sunset ran up to him and asked "Are you okay?" After she asked, his hands started glowing a pink aura.

Rarity, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie all felt something inside of them as they were still playing their music, it felt different than their magic. Their pony ears, tails, and wings started to shrink until they disappeared. After the feeling was over, the 5 of them dropped their instruments.

Rainbow, who was confused about what happened, said, "Huh, what the hell happened?! Where are our ears and tails at?!" But the others didn't care about that as they saw Mirai clenching his stomach breathing hard. They ran up to him to see if he was okay.

Mirai chuckled nervously and says "Hehe, sorry about that. I honestly have no idea how that happens."

"I might have a theory," Sunset said, getting the group's attention. "I think since Twilight's magic and the power of Kamen Rider Zi-O are both powers of worlds not like this one, the rider power is trying to dominate the equestrian magic."

"So that's why our magic went down, Mirai's power was toning it down" Applejack realized. Sunset nodded at this.

"That's so cool, Miri!" Pinkie said with her eyes sparkling.

"Thanks, Pinkie," Mirai said in thoughtfulness. "That's a really great theory, Sunset. I never really thought of it like that. It's quite a shame. I've really been interested in this magic."

Mirai looks at Rainbow. "I think it's best that I stay a distance away when you guys play your music."

After he said that, the cafeteria doors burst open. Three female figures walked into the cafeteria while vocalizing some strange song.

The person on the left seemed to be the shortest one of the group. She had light blue skin and light blue hair with dark blue stripes in a ponytail.

The person on the right was taller than the one on the left. She had light purple skin and dark purple hair with blue stripes in 2 pigtails.

The person in the middle was the tallest and looked to be the leader of the group. She had yellow skin and big orange poofy hair with yellow stripes that went down to her back.

As they were singing, other students began to get angry and hostile to each other. Some were boasting that they were gonna win the "battle of the bands", which was confusing Mirai and his group because the showcase is a friendly competition.

"What is all this? What's happening?" Fluttershy asked, getting scared. As Mirai was gonna answer, that feeling from last week happened again. The same symptoms happened. He began to sweat and feel bad, and hunched his body. Sunset ran up to him to help him out.

'What is going on and…..how am I able to help Mirai?' Sunset thought with worry as Mirai's hands started to have that aura.

"Wait, this is a good thing!" Applejack said, confusing the others "His powers will turn off what is happening right now."

"Yeah! And afterward, I can confront those 3 bitches and give them a piece of my mind!" Rainbow shouted.

Mirai, while in a bit of pain, thought 'They're right. Even if I'm hurt, I can still help and figure out what's going on here.' Then, he felt a sharp pain inside his entire body and started coughing hard. The aura in his hands started to spread to his arms.

Sunset was trying to think of a way to help him or at least calm him down during this new pain. But while this is happening, Sunset and the others saw his Ziku Driver appear faintly around his waist out of nowhere. Then, they saw his ridewatch holders on his left arm and the left half of his Zi-O faceplate appear faintly. These parts of his rider suit kept appearing and fading away out of nowhere.

Some students were noticing the commotion going on with Mirai's group. So some looked to check it out. But Rainbow looked at them and said "What are you looking for?! Mind your own goddamn business, you asses!" This insult caused the meddlers to look away, even when under the spell.

While in this pain, Mirai tried fighting it. He focused his body on removing the pain, even trying to heal himself with his powers. 'I need to make it go away! I need to fight this! If this keeps going on, other students, heck even the authority figures can come and see what's going on with me! They'll figure out that I'm the mysterious new hero! Who knows what will happen to Woz and my friends! I need to do this for them and my journey as a rider!'

Mirai clenched his fists hard and then the aura suddenly disappeared. The parts of his rider suit disappeared completely. Mirai collapsed and became unconscious.

After an afternoon of some harsh tension between most of the students, the school day has ended and everyone has either gone home or gone to their extra-curricular activities. Rarity, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie are waiting outside the school by the broken statue. They were waiting there because Sunset called them to say that Mirai had finally woken up in the nurse's office. Sunset told them to all meet up outside to talk about these new students.

They heard footsteps and saw Mirai and Sunset walking towards them. When they looked at Mirai, they thought he would look a bit sick from being in the situation that he was in. But he seemed almost perfectly fine.

Mirai and Sunset caught up to the group. After a few seconds of silence, Applejack was the first to speak. "Are you feeling okay, Mirai?" Mirai stood quietly for a dramatic few seconds before answering.

"I sure am! Never felt better than I am now!" He said with a very wide smile surprising everyone except for Sunset.

"Are you certain? Because you looked to be in a lot of pain and was coughing really hard," Rarity asked in concern.

"Yeah, I'm sure. A few hours of rest patched me right up." Mirai said while rubbing the back of his head. "Now then, we need to figure out what's going on with those 3 new girls."

"I'm theorizing that they must be from Equestria like Twilight and I am." Sunset said. "I believe they must be feeding off of negative emotion through those strange necklaces of theirs."

"So their magic somehow brought out the negative emotions that are deep inside of the students to feed off of it. I think tomorrow during the actual competition they'll collect even more." Mirai replied with his own thoughts. "Are the staff aware of this situation? What are the Principal and Vice-Principal doing about this?"

"Nothing. When we explained that those 3 girls were using some kind of spell, they didn't believe us. They decided that a battle of the bands was a better idea. We were confused until we concluded that they must've been affected by the spell too. So that marks about everybody in this school." Rarity said in disappointment.

"Not everybody~!" Pinkie yelled out in enthusiasm.

"Pinkie's right. Thanks to the magic left behind by Twilight, we were able to evade that hypnosis. Although, I do wonder, how come you're not mind controlled, Mirai?" Applejack said.

"Well, I personally believe it was my Rider energy. You see, those 3's magic was obviously too strong for an inexperienced Kamen Rider like me, but my powers as Zi-O was still trying its hardest. Not to overpower but to protect me. That's why it had me go through that so I can try to fight it and then pass out so nothing can happen." Mirai explained. "And I think I have an idea about how we can figure all this out."

This got the group's attention, so Mirai said "Why don't we bring in this Twilight person you all have been talking about. She possibly knows this kind of stuff, so surely she can help us out with our current predicament."

"Yeah! I mean she helped us out with the last problem in this school, so of course, she would help us out with this one! Oh, uh, no offense Sunset." Rainbow said, to Sunset's slightly annoyed expression.

"None taken," Sunset said.

"Wait, isn't there a certain timeframe for when the portal opens…..?" Fluttershy asks.

"Yes, it only opens every 30 moons. So, right now there is no way we can get to Twilight." Sunset said, but then for a little bit she started thinking, and she got an idea. "Wait, maybe there is!"

She ran inside the school, and a minute or 2 later, she came back outside with a mysterious book with a red and yellow sun symbol.

"What is that book you're holding, darling?" Rarity asked.

"Back when I was Princess Celestia's student, I used this book to write messages and the messages would be sent to a book in her library. I think that I can use this to hopefully send Twilight a message."

"That's great! Wait. Does this count as equestrian magic? Because I don't want my powers to screw it up." Mirai asked, concerned.

"Hmm, I'm not sure. Maybe just in case, you should get a far distance to be safe. If that's okay with you, Mirai." Sunset said. Mirai nodded and ran a far distance until he looked tiny because of the distance. He had a thumbs up with his right arm out to show that he was far enough.

Sunset began writing on the book, explaining what is happening right now and that they really need help from Twilight. Then about several minutes later, the book magically wrote back. It was Twilight saying that these 3 new girls must be ancient Sirens that were banished from Equestria long ago for using their singing to cause anger and absorb the negative emotions to make them more powerful. The message also says that she may have found a way to make the portal open. Then, immediately, someone appeared from a portal that was on the statue. It was Twilight, now in casual attire, and her assistant Spike.

Rarity, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Applejack, and Pinkie all ran up to Twilight and Spike, giving them a group hug. Sunset stayed behind, slightly smiling at the moment.

After the hug was over, Twilight was the first to speak. "I know it hasn't even been that long, but I really missed you all. Now, where is this Mirai you talked about, Sunset? I kinda wanna meet him."

Sunset says "Oh well, lemme explain first, because of his pow-"

"Hey! Is that girl Twilight?!" Mirai yelled out.

Twilight was confused and Spike was thinking 'Well, there has to be at least one crazy person in this strange world.'

"Yes! My name is Twilight!" Twilight yelled out, but because of the distance, Mirai couldn't quite hear enough.

"You're in fright?! Why?!" Mirai replied.

"No! Twilight!" Spike yelled out.

"...I'm probably really far because It looked like that purple dog was talking!" Mirai yelled confused.

"I can talk! Because I'm from where Twilight is from!" Spike yelled in slight annoyance.

Mirai ran to the location where the group was at and had a closer look at Twilight. She was between Fluttershy and Sunset's height. He brought out his right hand to greet them. "Hello! My name is Mirai Clock. You must be Twilight, right? The others have talked quite a bit about you. It's nice to finally meet you!" Mirai said while smiling.

Twilight brought out her hand to shake Mirai's hand as well. "Yes, my name is Twilight Sparkle. It's nice to meet you too. Sorry that I didn't get a chance to officially meet you with the others, I had some matters to attend to. But, I would like to thank you for helping out Sunset. Also, if you're wondering, this little guy right here is Spike" Twilight said, gesturing towards the small dog.

"Sup! I was with the ladies while you transformed." Spike said to greet Mirai. Mirai crouched down to look closer at Spike and inspect him closer. "...Uuuuuuh, what?" Spike said, feeling awkward.

"Wow….. I could never think in any universe I could see a dog talking. This is very extraordinary." Mirai said while looking at Spike, lowkey like a creeper.

"Well, dogs don't talk in my world either! Well, I mean some do, but that's only a certain kind of dog that are lowkey kinda obsessive with diamonds. But anyway, I can talk because in my world, I'm a dragon!" Spike said with pride.

"Woah! You mean like with giant claws, fangs, huge wings, and intense fire breath?!" Mirai asked.

"Uuuuuuuh, sure let's go with that…." Spike said with sweat dropping down his face.

"Oh, Mirai! I had a question I wanted to ask you. When she was writing to me about your current situation, she mentioned something about you being a…..Caymen Rider? What is that?" Twilight asked. Mirai was confused about what she said, but realized what she was talking about.

"Huh? Oh! It must've been a mispronunciation. I am actually what is called a Kamen Rider, with a K. A Kamen Rider is a warrior of truth and justice." Mirai then pulled out his Zi-O Ridewatch to show Twilight. "I use this and a special belt. You probably saw me transform before with the other girls. With this power given to me by my late grandfather, I'm able to become Kamen Rider Zi-O, the prince of time!"

After Mirai said that last sentence, Twilight and Spike's eyes both widened. "Wait, you're a prince?! Your grandfather was a King?! What was he King of? What did he rule over?"

Mirai scratched the back of his head while blushing a bit. "Well, he didn't become a King in a political or technical sense. But, his powers gave him the ability to become the King of….well everything. But then he decided to have a normal life. But growing up, he did want to become a King." Mirai said in slight embarrassment, while Twilight and Spike both fell down.

After they both got up, Rainbow looked at Twilight and said "So now that you're here, Twilight, what's your idea to kick those bitches asses?" She said this with determination.

"Oh yeah, I do have an idea to kick their….asses? I don't know what that means. But anyways, us 6 can use a magic of friendship attack to erase their magic and stop them." Twilight said.

"That's a great idea! Everyone who's participating will be at school tonight for a meetup party before the official competition tomorrow. So we can do it tonight!" AJ said.

The magical group were all in agreement of this, while Sunset was looking at them wondering. 'Wait, if their magic can only currently be used throught singing, will it even work? Should I tell them?' She looked at the group who were conversating with each other. 'No, I shouldn't….. I don't believe it's my place. They can probably figure it out eventually.'

But suddenly, Mirai spoke up. "Wait, doesn't your magic only appear or activate when you play magic. I'm not knowledgable about the type of magic you use, but wouldn't that mean your friendship attack wouldn't work?"

"...Horseapples!" Twilight facepalmed, before regaining her composure. "Thanks for the information Mirai. I have a new idea. I can write a counter-spell in the form of a song. Which is good, because of the upcoming competition."

"Great idea Twilight! Also, to make it better, we can make you the new lead singer!" Pinkie said in sheer excitement.

"Wait what?!" Rainbow said in surprise, but she was interrupted.

"Also, no need to worry about where you are going to sleep because let's have a sleepover at my house!" Pinkie said excitedly, to the other girls approval.

As the group was walking towards Pinkie's house direction, Mirai was about to walk to the clock shop, when suddenly Pinkie's hand grabbed his shoulder unexpectedly.

"That means you too! Hehe!" Pinkie said while smirking evilly.

"...Huh?!" Mirai said, his voice squeaking from noise.

It was currently nighttime, and the group, who were in pajamas, were currently in Pinkie's room, either taking selfies, conversating with each other, or playing video games, in AJ and Rainbow's case.

Rainbow then turned the console off, to Applejack's chagrin. "Hey now, you know I was about to beat you." Applejack said in annoyance.

Rainbow smirked and said "Doubt it! So Twilight, how's the spell going?"

Twilight was deep in focus of her writing and said "Huh? Oh yeah, it's going good. Thanks for letting me use your notebook, Fluttershy." Fluttershy quietly nodded.

"Hey, Mirai! You wanna try having a turn? I bet you could beat Rainbow at this!" Applejack called out. She called out because he wasn't actually in the room. He was actually in the guest room next to it.

Mirai heard her and answered "Um, no thanks, I'm good! Plus, I'm currently studying!" He was actually studying on some school stuff, but truthfully, he was staying in the guest room because of the fact he mostly grew up with his grandpa and Woz. So,`his experience of being around girls is low. Also, he thought it would be more respectful to stay in a separate room.

"You're still gonna eat with us, right? Because the Pizza just came!" Pinkie yelled.

"Yeah, I will! Don't worry!" Mirai said, then he went out of the room to eat with the others in the kitchen.

It was now late at night, possibly 1 or 2 in the morning, everyone was quietly asleep. Well, except for one. A finger tapping can be heard from the kitchen. It was Twilight, who was hard at work trying to figure out the counter-spell. "No, that won't work" she muttered to herself.

"Hey, Twilight."

Twilight jumped a bit from startlement, but then she was it was just Sunset who entered the kitchen. She sighed in relief and said "Oh, it's just you Sunset. Sorry I possibly woke you up, I just need to work on this. It has to be perfect. They are all counting on me."

Sunset walked over to look at her progress and said "Must be great having everyone always looking to you for answers for problems…..instead of waiting for you to cause one." Twilight looked at Sunset.

"Just because someone expects something doesn't mean it could happen" Twilight said, to try to comfort her.

"Doesn't stop people from expecting it… and it doesn't help when you're trying to not let a specific person and you are afraid to create a problem and mess things up." Sunset stated. Twilight looked at her and smiled a bit.

"Well, I guess our personal problems are very similar." Twilight said to Sunset. Sunset smiled slightly and nodded. "Yeah, I guess they are."

They continued their conversation, but what they didn't know was Mirai was just outside the kitchen, in the hallway. And he overheard the entire conversation between the two.

'She…..she's afraid of letting me down? But she's my friend! She would never let me down! Why would she think she would mess things up? …...Well, I guess it makes sense considering the stuff she's been through. Goddamnit, I'm such an idiot! For not realizing this! I need to figure out a way to help her out.' Mirai was clenching his right fist while he was thinking this.

It is currently afternoon, also the Battle of the Bands was about to start soon. The group were walking inside the hallways, they were about to go to the auditorium, but Mirai stopped, getting their attention.

"You guys go, I'll stay back here. When you guys perform your special magic song, my powers will possibly affect it in a negative. With those Siren girls using their magic too, we don't know what could happen. Plus, there's a lot of negative energy going on in these hallways, I can clearly sense it. So, while I'm here, I will be able to stop some students if their fighting goes too overboard." Mirai explained to the rest of the group.

The group went to the auditorium, but Sunset was stopped when Mirai said "Sunset, I need to tell you something real quick." Sunset looked at Mirai in confusion and said "What is it?"

Mirai smiled and said, "...I'm proud of you."

Sunset was surprised when Mirai said this to her. He continued on and said "You have helped out in more ways than I can imagine. You helped me out when I was in pain due to my powers, you figured out why it happens around magic, you stayed with me in the nurse's office while I was resting, you figured out how to contact Twilight to have her come here, and even if you're not a part of their band, you are still going with them to support them! You're an amazing person in my eyes. That is why I'm glad to call you my friend."

After hearing all this, Sunset felt great relief and most of all gratitude coming from inside of her. The fact that she is hearing all of that from Mirai brought almost all of her worries away. She teared up a bit and wiped away her tears. "Thank you, Mirai." She said before running off into the auditorium to follow the group. Mirai smiled as he saw her went in.

It was the time of the finals. Or at least, 20-30 minutes after the finals started, Mirai estimated with the possible singing and magic stuff, it should take that amount of time, so of course, he waited. Then, Mirai went outside to see that the group have defeated the Siren girls, their necklaces seemingly have broken. Also, he saw that Sunset was with the group, without her leather jacket on, in a very excited mood with the rest of the group.

Mirai ran up to them to congratulate them. "You guys did it! You defeated them!" He said with excitement.

"You're darn right! And we would've got our flanks handed to us if Sunset didn't help out hehe! She was a great help in the performance." Applejack said, pointing at Sunset, who was blushing in shyness.

"Really?!" Mirai ran to Sunset "That's great! I knew you were able to help!"

Sunset nodded and said "Thank you, Mirai. Thank you, everyone." Then, suddenly the moment was interrupted by the Purple-haired girl of the Siren group, who was pissed off.

"You…..fucking….bitches! 6 months! 6 months we spent in this fucking world trying to feed our fucking selves with magic that doesn't even exist here! We were this close to being powerful until you fucked it up!" She yelled out from the stage irritated.

The orange-haired girl tried to reel her back "Aria, give it up. We already lost, so let's get out of here until you make it wor-"

"Shut the fuck up, Adagio! I'm not the one who failed! It was you! You failed to make us powerful." Aria then looked at the group and smirked. "Well, I haven't failed yet….because I have something up my sleeve." She grabbed something from her shorts under her skirt and pulled it out, it was some kind of small strange bottle containing a weird yellow gas inside. Mirai gasped because he knew what it was.

Aria then threw the bottle down to the floor hard, and the impact caused the bottle to break open, releasing the gas. The gas covered her entire body up, and when the gas disappeared, it revealed that she transformed into a Kaijin. Her legs and lower body were black and metallic, her arms were blue with huge hands, her upper body was shaped like a yellow rock, and she had 5 blue weird body parts, the middle one being head with 3 eyes.

Aria roared out in anger and punched a random stereo set, which caused it to fly 10 meters into the air. This caused the entire audience to be scared and run away in a frantic fashion. Adagio and the other girl began to hide somewhere else, to not be in the way of Aria's wrath.

"She turned into the Strong Smash, one of Kamen Rider Build's first enemies." He faced the group and said "All of you, help evacuate the other students so they don't get hurt! I will stop her!" The rest nodded, as they went to help evacuate the innocent.

Aria saw that the students and staff were running away with Mirai's group's help, and was about to jump towards them to kill and harm them. But, then…

KAMEN RI~DER~! ZI-O~!

Mirai, in his Kamen Rider Zi-O form, jumped onto the stage to stop her. She was growling animistically at the sight of this. Mirai took his stance. 'When people are in Smash form, they have little to no human consciousness, they act like mindless zombies. So, I might be able to incapacitate her.'

Aria and Mirai ran at each other. When they got to close proximity each other, Aria brought up her right arm to try to punch him. But, then he sidestepped, and pushed himself away from her almost punch. She flailed her arms in anger.

Mirai then used his right arm to punch her rocky head. Because of her great strength, this only caused Aria to stumble back a few inches. But, since it was better than nothing, he decided to punch her at least 5 more times, which caused at least a little bit of damage. Even though he was in his rider suit, his fists were in pain. But he dealt with it.

While Aria was recovering, Mirai decided to use something that's stronger than his rider suit. A purple clock appeared in front of him, and from it, was his Zikan Girade in its sword mode. He grabbed it.

ZIKAN GIRADE! KEN!

Mirai used his sword to repeatedly slash at Aria, causing much more damage to her. Still, it was very challenging on himself to do so. The damage is mostly done not by just the weapon, but by how hard he slashes with it.

Far away, at the school's entrance, the group has finally managed to evacuate everyone and convince to run home. They lied and said they would call the authorities so they could handle it. Most of the group were sitting down because of exhaustion, but Sunset looked worryingly at the direction where Mirai was fighting.

Twilight noticed this and asked "Sunset? What's wrong?" But Sunset didn't reply. She just looked on, then she clenched her fist tightly.

TIME CHARGE! GO...SAN...YON...NI...ICHI...ZERO TIME!

GIRI GIRI GIRI!

Mirai pressed the trigger on his Zikan Girade to use its special move. He slashed at Aria once more, but this time it was very powerful and left a pink slash mark. This caused her to fly up then fall down a long distance from Mirai. She was grunting in pain. Mirai was kneeling down from exhaustion, trying to think of a way to finish this.

'Maybe, I can do a finish time on her. No, it wouldn't revert her back, just knock her out. I can try to reverse that broken fullbottle to absorb her essence after she's unconscious…...She's getting up, I need to heal myself before she attacks me when I'm vulnerable.'

He starts using his time abilities to try to heal himself as she's getting up. It's much shorter when he does it to himself than when he does it to others.

"Leave him alone!"

Mirai looked up and saw that Sunset was in front of him. He was surprised by this, then he saw Aria running towards them. "Sunset, what are you doing here?! Get out of the way! She's gonna kill you!"

"No, you're hurt!" Sunset yelled, which surprised Mirai. "You have protected me almost the entire time since we met. While I was being confronted by the other students and being hurt, you protected me. When I was unsure about my place about being with others as friends, you helped me out! And….I thank you for that. You're still trying to heal yourself, so let me protect you and everyone else I care about!" She yelled this out in determination.

Aria was now close enough to Sunset to bash her head in. She brought out both her giant hands to strike. Mirai's eyes widened and tried to run in time to protect her. Sunset closed her eyes shut to prepare herself for the impending attack.

5 seconds have passed, and Sunset has felt nothing, no pain, no attack, just nothing. She opened her eyes to see she was in some white space. She was wondering where she was at so she turned around. When she turned around, she was surprised to see 18 cloaked mysterious figures in front of her.

"...W-Who are all of you?! Wait, did you take me here?!" She asked them, but none of them answered.

"Why aren't none of you answering? Why am I here?" They still didn't answer, then she remembered. "Mirai…... Hey, take me back! Mirai is still out there probably fighting that Kaijin! Please!"

Even with her pleas, the figures said nothing. She collapsed on her knees and put her head down while crying. "...Please. Whoever you all are, please. H-he's my friend. I- I don't want him to die because I wasn't good enough to help…..I need to help him out! I need to protect him…..and everyone!"

That last word got their attention. "So please, just take me back…..I beg you!" She was crying for 10 seconds until she heard footsteps around. She put her head up to see that the mysterious figures had surrounded her. She was confused, then, the mysterious figures raised their hands up, and they disappeared, and Sunset felt something around her hands.

Something….powerful….

A bright light appeared before her which caused her to close her eyes. She opened her eyes and saw that she was back where she was. When Aria was about to strike, A mysterious object appeared out of nowhere, Aria hit it and the force caused her to bounce back. The mysterious object went onto Sunset's hands.

The object looked like a round-like rectangle shape, it was mostly magenta-colored, it had 2 black handles, had a single red gem in the middle, had 18 strange symbols surrounding the gem and had a slot. She was confused by this, but out of instinct, she knew what to do. She put the mysterious object around her waist, and it formed a belt. On her left hip, a large white book item appeared.

"Huh?...HUH?!" Mirai gasped as he recognized what Sunset was using.

She opened the book-like object and pulled out a card. It showed a strange individual with a magenta helmet. She gripped the black handles on her belt and pulled them, making it open. She flipped the card, showing the back. The back had a strange barcode symbol. She then inserted the card inside the belt.

KAMEN RIDE!

She brought up her hands and clenched them both into fists. She breathed in and out, both times slowly. She closed her eyes while doing it, and when she opened them, she yelled out

"...Henshin!"

She pushed both handles in, closing it.

DECADE!

18 mist-like figures were in a circle in front of her. Each of these figures had a different symbol in front of them. They all converged with her, now in Sunset's place, was a figure in black and white armor and green bug-like eyes. Many magenta energy bars appeared, and they flew onto her helmet, like how the Katakana goes onto Mirai's rider suit. The energy bars turned black with a single yellow gem.

These energy bars gave certain parts of her magenta suit color, these parts being most of her helmet minus the eyes and bars, her shoulders, The left half of her left leg, the right half of her right leg, and her upper body minus for a chunk of the middle.

"D….Decade?!" Mirai was seriously surprised and was questioning a lot of things. He got up and ran up to Sunset in her new form. "Sunset, how...when? You're a Kamen Rider?!"

Sunset looked at Mirai. He couldn't see her face behind her helmet but she had a confused expression because she was, well confused. But then, she looked at her now armored body. She looked all over herself and said "...WHAT THE HELL! How did this happen?! ….I'm a ...rider too?"

Sunset saw Aria. Sunset followed her instinct and ran to punch her in the face. Her right fist glowed briefly during the punch. The punch did as much damage as the Zikan Girade. She punched Aria 2 more times, then she did a swift side kick. This knocked Aria back.

Sunset wanted to try out something different, then she got an idea. She opened up her book object to see if she had any more cards in there. It turned out she does, the number of them being 5. She grabbed one of them and pulled out the handles of her driver. The card that was in her driver leaped out of it and disappeared and reappeared in her book object. She flipped the new card in her hand and inserted it in her driver. She pushed the handles in.

ATTACK RIDE: SLASH!

The book object leaped off from the belt, and the handle landed in Sunset's right hand, and it turned into some sort of blade mode. She admired it for a bit, before running up to Aria and slashing her. As she was slashing at Aria, it left a magenta light.

After a few slashes, Sunset stepped back to regain a bit of energy, and wondered what was happening. "How did I transform? And what is this?"

"That is your Ridebooker in its blade mode."

Sunset jumped at the sudden voice and saw that it was Woz. Woz seemed to be in a great mood and had his book out. Sunset was about to ask him how she gained this power, but he interrupted before she had a chance to.

"IWAE! For she is the one to gain the powers of Heisei! The traveler of worlds who will fight and protect the innocent! Her name is Kamen Rider Decade! This is a great moment in history! For she is the start of the riders who will fight alongside the Prince of time!" Woz exclaimed loudly to everyone in his surroundings.

"A….amazing!" Sunset said to herself, her adrenaline going up. Mirai walked up next to her. She and Mirai looked at each other. Then, Mirai spoke up to her.

"Sunset, I have no idea what's going on and how you became Decade." He said. Then, he smiled beneath his helmet. "But, let's both work together to defeat her and revert her back."

Sunset smiled beneath her helmet as well and nodded. "Alright!" They both saw that Aria was getting agitated and was hitting her fists together. Mirai and Sunset ran up to her and prepared their weapons while running. Mirai had his Zikan Girade in its sword mode while Sunset had her Ridebooker out, but she turned it into its new gun mode.

When they got closer to Aria, Sunset started shooting multiple magenta bullets at Aria, then Mirai slashed at Aria with good precision. After slashing multiple times, he brought his arm up to do another, then Aria punched him causing to fly back. He rolled a bit to decrease damage.

ZYU!

TIME CHARGE! GO...SAN...YON...NI...ICHI...ZERO TIME!

SURE SURE UCHI!

He changed his Zikan Girade into its gun form, Zyu mode and he then pressed the button on top and pulled the trigger. This caused the weapon to shoot out magenta characters for Ji. This blasted at Aria. Mirai then used this chance to try to revert the Fullbottle to its intact state. He started working on it, the pieces floating and trying to put itself together.

Sunset figured out what he was trying to do and decided to stall Aria until Mirai was finished. Sunset brought out a different card from her Ride Booker.

ATTACK RIDE: INVISIBLE!

Aria, in her aggressive zombie-like state, wanted nothing but to kill Mirai. As she was about to ambush him during his healing, she felt something cut her from behind. She looked and saw nothing, then she felt a cut on her front then her left side. As this was happening, she was having a hard time figuring it out, and tried to punch at the air, but to no avail.

ATTACK RIDE: SLASH!

A more powerful cut sliced her on the chest, which caused her to fall back in pain. Sunset appeared out of nowhere 10 feet away from her, revealing that she turned invisible. Mirai finally got finished. The Fullbottle was fully intact and ready for use. He slid it onto the empty left slot of his driver, and ran up to Sunset.

"Now..let's finish this, Sunset!" Mirai said to her, prepared for this. He pushed the top button of his driver and spun it.

FINISH TIME! TIME BREAK!

"Alright," Sunset said and nodded. Sunset brought out a different card, this one had a symbol on both the back and the front. She put it in her driver and activated it.

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

Multiple katakana surrounded Aria and holographic cards appeared between Aria and Sunset. Mirai jumped high in the sky and Sunset had her sword ready to strike. The Katakana merged with each other until it created only one, then the one katakana merged with the bottom of Mirai's right boot as he was ready to perform a Rider Kick.

Sunset ran through each of the holographic cards, as she went through each of them, they disappeared. After going through all of them, she slashed right through Aria. She was now behind Aria, while Aria was completely still and had now electricity surrounding her.

Mirai then performed his kick. His kick hit her body hard, causing her to explode, and Mirai passed right through the explosion.

The explosion disappeared and it showed Aria unconscious in her human state. Mirai pulled out the Fullbottle and saw it was now a different shape and had black markings and some liquid inside. Mirai and Sunset looked at each other and they both gave each other a high five out of sheer relief. Then they both felt tired and were about to fall on the floor. Woz wrapped them around his magic scarf and teleported them to the ceiling of the school.

Once they got there, Mirai and Sunset layed down, both of them exhausted. "Wow….that was very intense," Sunset said.

"I know," Mirai said. "While I'm still confused, I think that was amazing, Sunset! With only a little training, you managed to get through that fight! How do you feel?"

"Tired...but earlier….being a rider feels great. Like I can do almost anything...and I wanna use that power to defend, not to harm." Sunset said, to which Mirai smiled. Then, Sunset remembered something. "Wait! Now I remember how I got this form! When Woz wanted to see me, he gave me the Decade Ridewatch. Which granted me this power. For some reason, I forgot until now!"

Mirai got up as he was surprised by this. "Wait, what?! Woz, is that true?!"

Woz nodded and said "Yes, it is true my Prince. The Decade watch chose her, so I gave it to her. When the riders of this world are chosen, but their powers don't unlock yet, they forget until they gain the power. So, we welcome you, Sunset, as the chosen Kamen Rider Decade!"

Both Mirai and Sunset stood up and looked at each other. Mirai says "If that's what you want. From what I heard, being a Kamen Rider is a big responsibility, so If you don't wa-"

"I'm okay with it." Sunset interrupted. "Ever since I was stopped from being a demon and monster, I always wondered what my purpose was. Then, meeting you and becoming a rider has taught me my purpose is to not harm, but protect. There will be more of these monsters coming and you need people to help you fight them. So I will fight alongside you and possibly other riders if they come soon enough." Sunset finished as she smiled beneath her helmet.

Mirai smiled too and brought out his hand to high-five her. "Well then, I guess this is the beginning of a gathering of a team!"

Sunset high-fived him back in excitement "And the beginning of a new era!"

Woz looked at them and smiled. 'Yes, Even though there are more dangers to come, I'm very grateful this is happening' He looked up at the sky. 'My King…..You must be watching over your grandson in his glory...of finding his first teammate.'

In another part of town, there wasn't anyone in sight. Buildings were off for the night, and people were sleeping. Then, there were multiple men who were especially not awake at all.

They looked to be roughed up and hurt. There were about 15-20 of them on the ground. In front of them were 2 humanoid monsters. They were both breathing heavily and looked to be happy.

The one on the left was mostly white in appearance with some parts of his body having orange and red lines, and he had a black faceplate with orange eyes and snarled teeth.

The one on the right was Stag beetle-like in appearance. His upper body was red except for his hands and a bit of his triceps, which were black. His legs and feet were black and he had gold and red gems on his knees. His feet only had 2 toes each. His head was black with golden horns, red buggy eyes and silver monstrous teeth.

Both of them were obviously scary looking. Their presence was enough to make a grown man fear for his life. Then, unexpectedly, they both started talking.

"...We will be the strongest of all!..."

"...And we will kill anyone to prove that!..."
