Not too far from City


Next to the street, a dirt road leads up a trail with trees surround the grass and plant parts of the area. Through the trees an old steel mill could been seen in a large open space. Abandoned for many years with no one having been on the grounds for year, at least from what people knew.  

A train passes by the old rundown building. The occupants of the train not having been able to see what was over the mill's walls. On the other side of the wall were a large number of Riotoozes and Humagears around the area. The Riotoozes patrolled and searched around the area. The Humagears stood guard in certain parts of the mill, most being around the building with the giant furnace.

Inside said building, Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo are passed out. The two were still trapped within the bubble, but with one difference.

"Rain...Rainbow...Rainbow Dash!"

"Wha!" Having been shook awake, Rainbow jumps to her feet. Or she would have if she hadn't bumped heads with Scootaloo. "Ow!/Ow!"

Rubbing her head like Scootaloo, Rainbow takes in her surroundings. They were still trapped in the bubble, but their surroundings were different. Before they were at a construction site but now, they seem to be inside a large room of some sort of building. The building seemed old due to the worn-down walls, catwalk on both sides, two doorways, and ceilings. But a collum of six pillars both to her left and right, and the floor were remade. It resembled a data grid with circuit streams appearing now and then on both.

She then takes a look at the bubble itself, seeing that it's been placed at the center of an old machine that's had been altered and new parts added around. Below them they could see a control panel a few feet from the machine with a timer counting down from '13:26:45'. Rainbow was just about confused by this until remembering back on what happened and who was with her.

"Are you alright, Scoots? You aren't hurt anywhere, right?" The rainbow haired girl questioned as she looked over her surrogate sister.

Scootaloo shoves Rainbow's hands away before saying, "I'm fine. But where are we?"

"No clue. Nowhere good, that's for sure." She pulls out her cellphone from her pocket. "Great. No signal."

"I take it you two slept well."

Spooked, Scootaloo moves closer to Rainbow Dash despite them already being so close and not having much room in the bubble. They searched around for the source of the voice.

"No point in trying to search for me. I'm nowhere near the two of you. Your cellphones won't be getting any signals from here as well."

"Well, if you aren't anywhere around here, then do you mind shutting the hell up. And how about letting us go." The pissed off Rainbow Dash spoke, punching at the bubble. "What the hell is this thing made of?"

"Aww...but if I didn't speak, then how would I tell you about the machine you both have been neatly placed in." "Geez, you mean other than blow us up? Now that's surprising." A deadpanning Rainbow rolled her eyes while she spoke sarcastically. "You seem to be mistaken about something. Nothing about this device is made to explode. Its the building itself that's made to explode. The device is made to kill you both in two ways. By being burnt to ash once the gauge fills or by slowly becoming completely numb before your body begin to melt apart."

The cutesy explaining voice sent a chill down Scootaloo's back. "W-Why would you do that? What did we ever do to you?"

Clara chuckled at her barely managed question. "Nothing at all. You two are just the bait." Despite her pausing, Rainbow and Scootaloo already knew who she was going to say. "Bait to lore in Build. To lore Connor."

[Cue Opening]


The Empty Quarter Desert


Discord had taken Drago and Spike to the palace. Their aim was to find what the watch key is meant to go to. They had been searching around since dawn.

The first spot they searched was the throne room but nothing within the room had any spots that look like a spot to place the watch. The next after that was the remains of a dining room where Discord used remaining objects to launch up as target practice. They had searched just about everywhere within the palace after three hours.

Spike made a tired sigh as they walked down a long hallway of doors leading to small rooms. "You know, this would a lot easier with the others help. And maybe a bit more sleep too." Seeing him yawn, Discord used the chance to flick Spike's forehead. "Ow! What was that for?"

"For saying something so dumb. You know exactly why we couldn't bring them along. Especially not Connor right now."

"I guess so. But I just don't like the idea of not telling them the whole truth." Spike spoke out while checking a room. "I know you guys feel the same way."

Drago remained silent with the watch in hand as Discord continued while they each kept checking a room. "Look, Spike, if you're just going to keep bringing this up, I'll send you straight back home to our family."

"You're only saying that because you can't deny it." The little brother spoke under his breath. Discord still heard him despite that and readies to snap his fingers. "Okay! Okay! I get it. No need to go that far. You know how tiring it'd be to teleport back here or to the cafe from home." Spike leans against a door he just closes. "That was one of the great things about Equestria. Our magic was able to recover there more faster."

"That's a given considering how much magic is there." A door behind, Drago walks into one of the rooms with the two not even noticing. "I swear, if you keep talking about things that are known or obvious, I swear I just might-"

"AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!"

Discord and Spike looked back to the room where their brother's scream had grown distant from. They rush over but find no sign of Drago. This room was strange unlike the others. Aside from being empty, the room looked new, as if unaffected by time.

Spike followed Discord inside. "Where did Drago go? And what is with this room?" The moment he questioned it, their symbols appeared on the back of their hands and the floor disappeared. "I'm starting to think this is going to be a regular thing for me."

"Oh, for the love of- AAAAAHHHHHHH!!/AAAAAHHHHHHH!!" Discord screamed along with his little brother as they fell into a bottomless pit.

They fell for a good while before they could feel something solid against their backs. The next second the brothers' fall begins to curve in a sliding motion. They are now sliding around in all sorts of directions and loops. A few minutes passed before the ride ends with them falling down a small waterfall and into a pond.

"YEAH!!" Shooting out from the water, the exciting shouts of Discord and Spike echoed within a large chamber. "Now that is by far the world's greatest waterslide ever." "We have to do that again. Maybe I could even use my shrinking ring to make us small so we can surf down instead."

Hearing someone clear their throat, the two turned to their left to find a grinning Drago. "You know, it's always nice to see these small moments where you two get along so well."

Spike uses his magic to create a small tidal wave to knock Discord away. He then rushes out of the water with a grumpy Discord following not long after while spitting water out like a fountain. After keeping Discord from doing anything to their little brother, Drago began exploring the chamber with the two and find three other waterfalls similar to the one they came from.

Discord whistles. "Now that's some good artwork of Gaim." He spoke out loudly.

Drago and Spike look over to where Discord had stopped to stare. A large, wide carving of Gaim overlooking a kingdom is part of the chamber's wall. It looked to be an underground kingdom based on the ceiling with what looks like crystal and gems hanging over it. Having an idea of what it is, Spike follows along the wall until finding what he was looking for.

"There's one of Ghost over here!" The little brother shouted out.

While walking over with Drago, Discord finds other large carvings of two Riders he's changed into before. The first is of Agito meditating under a tree of an open field. The second is of Faiz standing on a mountain while looking down towards what looks like the cliff of a chasm.  They then find Spike standing next to a carving of Ghost over a savanna area.

"These carvings are probably of the areas where Zi-O found the other Riders in Equestria."

"I think you're right, Spike." Dargo agreed while looking towards other carvings of three Riders in three different areas that until it loops back around to the carving of Gaim.

One of the three is of Hibiki battling a huge humanoid kaiju with its face being covered by its long hair. Curious, Drago walks to the center of the chamber with his brothers following along not long after. They move past pillars that circle around the center to stare up at the ceiling to see what could be lighting the chamber. What they find is a large orb that shines bright enough to act like a sun but not bright enough to hide the stary sky made around it.

When Drago brings out watch key, he takes notice of a small missing piece of the stone floor at the center. Light flows through the linings and cracks on the ground with lines connecting stars to each other, which make Rider symbols. The brothers were amazed by what just happened. Staring upward, they could find the symbols for Zero-One, OOO, Build, Den-O, Decade, Wizard, Zi-O, Gaim and Ghost. There were two extra they didn't know. One being a Spade and the other a 'W'. They couldn't find Jurassic's symbol, but they did find other ones that almost went unnoticed because the lines were faint.

"1-2-3-4...There are five." Spike spoke out having counted faded symbol.

"Which coincidently matches the number of Riders that are left on the wall." Discord stated pointing to one of the carvings behind him. Drago then adds saying, "They're probably faint because they're sealed away. I guess it's to show that they already have chosen Riders but aren't around. Though we'll need to ask the others about those two other symbols."

Blowing a raspberry, Discord looked around annoyed. "That's it? This is the gift the previous Zi-O left? This whole search was a complete waste of time."

Spike kept looking at the symbols while suggesting, "Maybe there is a hidden meaning. Or maybe we need some sort of password."

"If that's the case, then by all means give us a damn sign, Zi-O."  Silence fills the room as they wait for something to happen for a few moments. "Strange. Then...maybe..." Discord thought for a moment before shrugging and making a peace sign. "Yo."

All the active symbols lit up sending beams of light toward certain pillars. Drago and his brothers watched light fill the linings of the pillars before parts of the pillars open up under the Rider symbol that appears on them.

"Really?! Yo. 'Yo' was the password." Drago just responds to Spike with a shrug. They decide to walk up to one of the pillars the moment they ceased opening up.

The pillar with Zi-O's symbol is the first they decide to walk over to. There they find two Ridewatches lying within. One is a red and black watch having an 'X' looking symbol with a blade sticking up from the center at the top while the bottom has the year 2020. The second is a silver and red watch having the year 2006 at the bottom and a kabuto beetle symbol with the word 'ZECT' on it.

"Ridewatches?" Drago questioned after picking them up.

Equally confused as Drago, Spike and Discord went over to the pillars with their symbols, while Drago went over to a pillar on his left that has Build's symbol after putting the watches away. There he finds an orange hawk, gray gatling, yellow lightbulb, and magenta octopus Fullbottles at the left pillar.

Spike picks up four rings and a locked box within Wizard's pillar. The rings had an image of a dragon, but each had different color gems and effects. A blue ring has a snowflake, greens with lightning, yellow having the dragon press down on a boulder, and a red ring with an explosion. Discord only finds a USB drive at his pillar.

They look back over to Drago who was now picking up three Progrisekeys and a black case with silver and purple from Zero-One's pillar. The first being a pink falcon key with 'FLYING FALCON' and 'ABILITY:WING' on it, the second a red buffalo key with 'CRUSHING BUFFALO' and 'ABILITY:BLOW' and the third being a silver mammoth key having 'BREAKING MAMMOTH' and 'ABILITY:PRESS'.

"I'll take a guess and say these are items that were either found in Equestria or Zi-O found them here while on earth. Or probably both." Discord juggled items he found as he spoke.

Looking to each open pillar, Spike could see each contained something. "I wonder how far she had to go and how long it must have taken to get all these." Drago walks over to stand next to him. "What do you think of all this, Drago?"

"Doesn't really matter right now. Let's just take these and head back. There are friends that need our help back at home." Not even needing a reply, the brothers move to collect the rest of the items from the pillars.


Canterlot High


The school's bells rang marking the beginning of classes. In one of the classrooms, Applejack sat down at her desk with Ressha taking a seat at his desk behind her. They look to the two empty middle seats where Rainbow Dash and Connor are usually seated.

Mr. Cranky gave a tired sigh. "Another marked absence/late for Rainbow Dash."

They, along with their other friends, are worried for the three. The Jurassic and the other Riders had searched around the whole for any signs of a clue or trail that could help them track down Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo's abductor. They unfortunately had no such luck. 

"And seems like one for Connor as well." He grinned towards the empty seat. "A day free from that brat correcting me and being a pain in my ass by making me grade homework that's been done weeks ahead."

'Talk about a sad sight.' "Well...you can't really blame Mr. Cranky. I'm sure it's not easy for him to deal with a genius." He whispered, trying to be as quiet as he could to avoid being on the teacher's radar. 'Seems odd for someone like him to be a teacher. Maybe a nice time out on the town would fix him./What are you talking about? A good day training in the mountains would be better for him./Forget it. The old fossil is a lost cause. It would make more sense to recycle him and bring in a real teacher.' "Momo, that's a bit harsh, don't you think."

Applejack kept her gaze on the empty seats. Besides worrying about Rainbow and Scootaloo, she couldn't help but feel worried for their friend who refused to come to school. She had paid no attention to her friend who quietly continued speaking with his other selves. Though the same could not be said for their classmates, who are casting confused and weirded out stares.


The Dragons Cavern


Emerald smiles to a seated customer. "Thank you. I will be back with your coffee shortly." She walks away to take another customer's order.

She had left the library to her two morning time workers. Things in the cafe were going normally and really well with no issues. Despite this, she couldn't help back cast a worried glace towards the direction of the garage.

There within the garage, Connor was at the center table typing away on the digital keyboard. His head and left arm had been bandaged up a bit. Emerald had healed him enough so he could attend school with the others, but Connor refused and made locating Rainbow and Scootaloo his main priority. His typing sped up from the memory of yesterday's battle with the Eon.

Flashback

"Until next time, Connor."

Build could hear Clara while the building began to collapse. He could hear the sounds of the building cracking up and breaking apart from where he was lying. The first thing anyone would do is escape before it could crush you, but his body wasn't responding the way he wanted it to. Thinking quickly, Build comes up with an idea that leads him to proceed to switch out bottles.

(Turtle! Watch! Best Match!) "I hate leaving things to hope but I've got no other choice." He spoke to himself as he turned the belt's crank. (Are you ready?) "Build up." (Toki O kakeru katchu! TurtleWatch! Yeah!) Rock music played as the belt called out.

With dragon having changed back to turtle, lock changed to a white armor with four different styled wristwatch designs on the upper and middle of the left arm, chest, and shoulder. A watch's button on the wrist and the right visor having a watch shape.

(Ready? Go! Vortex Finish! Yeah!) Activating the finisher creates a huge dome turtle shell that covers the whole collapsing building. Everything within the dome begins to slow down to the pace of a crawl. Slowly but surely, Build managed to stand, though his legs feel as though they could give out at any moment. In Build's point of view, the stumbly making his way towards an opening in the wall. But if anyone else had been there, Build would be moving too fast to see.

The Rider luckily manages to escape the building seconds before the finisher ended. With the effects of the finisher now gone, the collapse continued at its original speed. The building broke apart behind Build as he made his way off the site. The building had long been left in bits and rubble by the time he made it on to the street. The Rider falls flat right then and there in the middle of the street with his transformation coming undone. Not far from Connor, Astral, a student from Crystal Prep, was down the street walking towards his direction.

"Man is everybody in the school so uptight. You think they'd at least show some other routine besides trying to be the top student of the school." Astral stretched out as he walked. "Someone otta talk to Principal Cinch about her methods. Doing this is only just- Wha?!" Having spotted unconscious Connor, he dashes over to the injured boy. "Hey! Hey! Are you alright? Damn, I should call an ambulance."

Astral was about to make the call until he gets surprised by Connor grabbing his wrist. "N-No...ambulance. Please...press 9...to call my f-friends." He struggled to say while slowly having brought out his phone from his jacket and into the hand of the Crystal Prep student.

End of Flashback

"Daichi, please watch over them until I get there. I'll find them no matter what."

"Daichi?" He turns to the door and glares when he finds Derpy and Turner peeking into the room. "Oops."

"Hold on! Hold on!" Turner shouted out with the two of them rushing out of hiding when Connor picks up the experimental blaster and aims it at them. "We are really sorry to ease drop. We were just really worried about you."

With his expression unchanged, Connor puts the weapon down. "If you're worried then do the wise thing and leave me alone." He turns back to resume his work. "If that's all you wanted, then leave."

Derpy walks over to his left. "Actually, Turner wanted to test something." She brings out her Zi-O Ridewatch. "The year on the watches are the year the Rider series began right?" She asked pointing to the '2018' on the watch.

"Yes, that is correct."

Turner walked up to his right with the OOO Ridewatch in hand. "This watch appeared after Reiji told us about a memory from his past. I kept trying to think of what could had caused it to appear. But the only thing we had to go on was the memory. That is why I would like you to tell us about a memory from your past that matches with the year your Rider began."

"2017 was the year my dad forced me to help him plan an anniversary date for him and my mom since it completely slipped his mind."

His unenthusiastic voice showed how much he wasn't interested in co-operating with them. Curious, they peek around Connor to see what he's working on. Aside for the data of the blaster, there were two other digital screens in front of him. The second screen shows a map with the moving locations of build's Engines.

The third is of four different colored dragon bots like Equestria Spike's support bot, Ryuga. Each matching the color and shapes of Wizard's forms. A red, ruby circle that opens into a winged, four-legged dragon. A blue, sapphire diamond that opens into a serpent-like body with fins. A green, Emerald triangle that opens into a wyvern dragon. And last is a yellow, amber square that opens into a wingless four-legged dragon.

"Are these for Spike?" Derpy curiously asked Connor. "They look really cute."

"Kind of." He answered while seeming to create a new frame for the blaster and doing a system check on each bot simultaneously. "They're more for the Equestrian Apple Bloom and her friends. I promised these in exchange for them to stop asking me for one. Now if you don't mind, I would like to be left alone."

Derpy was beginning to feel concerned. She knows Connor already doesn't speak much to others, but it felt like he was trying to push them away. She tried thinking of what she could say or do to get him to open up to them. Derpy was about to say something but gets interrupted when a notification alarm on the map screen goes off. 

"What's that mean?" Derpy asked with Turner adding, "Did the Engines find something?"

Connor focused the map in on the Engine that sent the alert. Finding it to be Jet, he locks in on Jet's location, which is on the out skirts of the city, and brings up a live feed from the Engine's camera view to find Jet overlooking an abandoned steel mill. The bot locked on to multiple grunts in several parts of the site. Without Jet's system, the grunts would've been as well hidden from the sky as they did on keeping from being seen from road and street.

Not wasting a moment, Connor grabbed his jacket from his seat as he stood to make his way to his bike. His attempt comes to a halt from Derpy standing in his way.

"Where are you going?" She cowers back a step from his glare. "I mean, you can't go there on your own. We should let the others know about this."

Turner adds in saying from behind, "She's right. Going there alone will just cause more problems. Think more rationally about this before you make any decisions."

"No." Is all Connor says before shoving Derpy to the side.

"Ugh!" "Derpy!" Turner rushed to her side. "Are you okay?" "Yeah. I'm okay." She answered after he helped her back onto her feet.

(RabbitTank! Yeah!) They look back in time for Connor's transformation having ended while he's on his Ride Machine. The Rider wastes no time in speeding out the garage.

Build races down the streets, making his way to the steel mill. He almost causes a few accidents when he sped through red lights and cutting off some people on the street. After a while, the site he was at the other day was coming up to his left. He needed to drive by it on his way to the mill.

The moment he was about to go past it, Jurassic suddenly comes tackling him off the bike from his right. The RideMachine fell over, sliding across the street while the two Riders rolled onto the site.

"You mind telling me what this is about?" Jurassic stood up dusting himself off. "Because I thought you were the smart one. But then you go and try to pull a stunt like this."

"I'll warn you just this once, Jurassic. Stay out of my way" (Vortex Saber!) Staying on one knee, Build takes ahold of his weapon. "or else."

(Tyranno Sword!) "If that's what it'll take to make you listen, then bring it on."

Being taunted by the dino Rider, Build strikes the ground in an upward motion, sending dirt at Jurassic's face. With the Rider having shielded his face, Build then takes the opportunity to deliver a slash across the waist while running by and then turns back to add an additional two slashes on his back.

"Urgh." Jurassic turns blocking the next swing with his sword. From being close, the dino Rider knees Build in the gut. The genus Rider gets hit with multiple strikes before blocking the next and tries overpowering him. The two struggled for a moment before shoving and drop kicking each other.

Build rolls back onto his feet with ninja and comic at hand. (Ninja! Comic! Best Match! Are you ready? Shinobi no entertainer! NinninComic! Yeah!/4Koma Ninpoutou!) Having changed forms, Build takes ahold of his new weapon and presses the trigger once. (Bunshin no Jutsu!) Five comic 'BOOM!' popped around Jurassic, leaving behind five Build clones. The clones follow Build in running in circles around the dino Rider and begin hitting him with assaults of kicks, punches, and slashes as they jumped and flipped around him.

"Ugh...If that's how you want to play this..." While holding up his sword to shield himself, he dials '160' into his Primal Cell. (Stegosaurus! Dial in! Core Armament! Stego Greave!) Stego Armament came bursting from the ground, knocking all the Builds away before splitting and attaching to Jurassic's legs. (Flaming!) His belt called out as Jurassic swung kicks around to hit the Builds with a burning sansetukon. Before they could recover, the dino Rider swung the back of his leg around at them, Build rolls away as the burning sansetukon hit all the clones with a streak of fire.

(Katon no Jutsu! Kaen Giri!/B-B-Blaze! Tyranno Crushing Fang!) Both their weapons called out as the two launch fire slashes towards the other with the attacks canceling each other out. They then dashed towards and begin clashing swords.

While the two fought, Turner and Derpy in their Rider forms came driving into the site in the Millenia Cruser. Decade and Wizard came driving up from a different street and park alongside the Millenia. They got off their Ride Machines to watch the battle, both Zi-Os shocked to find their friends fighting each other.

"D:Shouldn't we stop them?" "I'd say let them have it out." Derpy and Turner looked Decade. "They'll solve this on their own." The two looked to each other unsure of this but decide to just wait and watch what happens for now.

Decade knew his brother well enough to know he wouldn't want them interfering. This was fine by him. He'd rather just sit on the sidelines instead of being involved in the situation. Though the same couldn't be said for his little brother. Despite not being able to see his expression, Decade looked from the corner of his eyes at Wizard and could tell this fight wasn't sitting well with him.


Canterlot High


The school was experiencing another peaceful, normal day. Just about every student was in the middle of one of their classes. One of the few that weren't in class are Reiji and Wallflower.

Having felt a bit tired, Reiji had convinced Wallflower to skip class with him. The two had gone to the school's garden where Wallflower had decided to use the time to plant some new seeds. Reiji had actually stopped by a different hardwear store to buy the seeds she had wanted to get the other day. While she planted, he just layed, relaxed flat on his back under one of the trees around.

"Thanks again for the seeds." She thanked, looking to him after she finished covering up a seed. "Now I owe you this along with having saved my life."

"Nah, you don't owe me anything. Just doing what any other good Rider would do." "Good Rider? Are there evil Riders?" Reiji holds up the hermit crab medal to stare at. "I'm not sure. Discord mentioned having fought a Rider. Can't say if they were evil or not since I don't know anything about them."

Wallflower gets started planting another seed while still speaking. "But if they attacked Discord, wouldn't that make them your enemy?"

"Not for me." He answered flipping the medal into the air and catching it. "I don't like to judge others if I know nothing about them. I find it hard when I know nothing about them. That was part of the reason I didn't judge Sunset completely when I first met her." Not hearing Wallflower respond after a moment, he looks to see her just kneeling still where she was planting. "Is something the matter, Wallflower?"

Looking as if she came out of a daze, she shakes her head while saying, "No. It's nothing." She turned to face him. "I was just thinking, is there a difference when your suit's colors change?"

He wasn't buying that question even for a second. With his experience on interacting with other people in his life, it was easy to see something he said bothered her and she was trying to cover up her pause. Even with knowing this, Reiji decided to just go along with it. Pressing the question on her would do no good. He figures she'll talk about it when she's more comfortable about it.

Sitting up, he reaches into his jacket to bring out the medal's folder. "I'm sure you've already noticed my powers come from these medals." Wallflower moved over to Reiji and sits on her knees as he sets the Latoratar and Mukachiri's medals on the ground in front of him. "These are called Core Medals. They're used in my belt to make different combination forms. Though there are certain combos that can bring out even more power. Like these two sets here. The original Core Medals' combos were all the same colors such as reds, yellows, greens and a few others. The medal combo sets after the first are of different colors but I feel like the animal or creatures on them have similarities."

"Is using the combos dangerous? I mean isn't there usually a cost to getting more power?"

"It's a possibility. Yesterday was the furthest I pushed myself at the moment. Can't really tell what would happen if I tried using a combo when my body is at its limit." He instantly regrets saying this when he sees Wallflower's expression become down and worried.

He hated seeing her down with her eyes glued to her knees. Not wanting her to stay like this, Reiji tries quickly thinking of what he could do to lessen her worries. One comes to mind the second his eyes landed on the folder. He wastes no time in taking out the crocodile and mantis medals, as well as the lion and ant medals from Latoratar and Mukachiri sets. She didn't notice this at all until he held out the medals to her.

"Wh-Why?"

He shrugs, smiling at her. "Emerald had told me that I could fight but to not push myself and under no circumstances am I allowed to use combos at the moment." He drops the medals into her hands. "I figured this would be the best way to make sure I don't use any combos. Because truthfully, I would use a combo even if it meant it'd damage my body in the process. I'm counting on you to keep them safe until I'm fully healed."

Closing her hands together, she returns the smile. "I promise I will." Her expression became a curious one. "What about those three." She asked looking to the three Equestrian medals. "Don't these three also make a combo? Or are they different from the others?"

"I'm sure they could. I just haven't gotten them to work together." "What do you mean?" To demonstrate, he puts on his Driver to insert the three medals and tries to run the scanner over them. The three medals glowed making a pink aura around the scanner, keeping him from moving it. They end up switching themselves out with orca, bee, and elephant. "See. I can use them on their own or with two, but trying to use the three just ends up with them switching themselves out with random medals." 

Wallflower was lost in thought with her eyes on the medals until a thought came to mind. "By the way, do you know anything about Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo being absent today? It usually wouldn't be weird for Rainbow Dash to be gone a day. But for Scootaloo to be gone and for her friends not to know where she is, is strange."

"For someone who isn't noticed or seen, you sure do know them and probably other students well. As for Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo..." Reiji sighed rubbing the back of his head. "They got kidnapped and we've got no clue where they are yet."

Wallflower gasps, shooting to her feet. "Oh my god." Reiji stands to try calming her down while saying, "It's okay. We've got this handled. The person who took them is someone Connor, Negi, and I know. So, if anyone can find them, then Connor for sure can." "How can you be so sure? What if he can't?"

He just waves off the doubt. "Please. Give Connor enough time and he can find you just about anyone in the world." Reiji proudly spoke of his genius friend. "I bet without a doubt that he's in the middle of narrowing down the area they're in as we speak."


While at the Site


The two Riders slashed each other causing sparks to fly off them. The battle continued with both Riders not letting up even an inch. Though Build started gaining the upper hand thanks to NinninComic's abilities. Using the scarf as Jurassic charged towards him, Build would become invisible causing the prehistoric Rider to stop in his tracks. He searched around but could find no trace anywhere.

Build repeatedly began striking Jurassic from different sides and angles before disappearing again. (Fuuton no Jutssu! Tatsumaki Giri!) The next slash sends the prehistoric Rider flying across the site. Despite hitting the ground hard, Jurassic is still able to use the momentum to roll back onto his feet with the Spino Core in hand.

"Time for a core shift." (Alpha Spino! Infusion! Core Splash! Dive! Whirl! Wave! Alpha Spino!) Obsidian covers him with the red glow changing into blue and then bursts off to reveal Jurassic's Spino Form.

(Dive!) Having used the slot, Jurassic dives into the ground as if it was water. The area remained quiet from both Riders being hidden. The silence continued up until a ripple appeared on the ground like it was water. (Whirl!) A water vortex sprung from the spot to reveal Build being spun from within. Jurassic raises, following the current of the vortex up to Build and assaults him with multiple slashes with the Exacore in Spino Khopesh. (Tidal!) Thursting his weapon towards Build's chest, a stream of water blasts him out of the vortex and lands flat onto his back.

"Enough already, Build." The genus Rider just makes an irritated growl while standing and then dashes towards Jurassic, who just says "Fine. Have it your way." before running to meet Build head on.
 
"Stop it." Aside from the two fighting, the others look to an upset sounding Wizard. He had spoken out to Jurassic and Build in a soft tone. His words fail to reach them as the two punched each other in the chest causing sparks to fly off them. "I said...STOP!!" Wizard suddenly dashes towards them.

"Wizard!" Derpy called out to the mage as he switched out spell rings.

(Copy, Please!) With a copy of himself now running alongside him, it copies him in switching to the next ring. (Choine! Kick Strike! Saiko!) He flips forward, boosting him in jumping high up. Jurassic and Build, who were about to punch each other again, barely take notice of the two Wizards thrusting their burning kicks down into them. Despite guarding, the two are sent crashing straight into the rubble of the once intact construction building.

"What's the point of this?" He questioned the two in a scolding manner while they stood back on their feet. "What's the point in fighting each other? Nothing gets solved by doing this. So, why waste time in doing this?" He focuses on Build. "I don't know what the history is between you and that girl, and right now I don't care. But you aren't the only one feeling responsible for Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo's capture. You aren't the only one here worried about them."

Build had been so absorbed in guilt, too focused on finding them, that he almost forgot they weren't just his friends. Scootaloo was one of Wizard's close friend. Especially since she was one of the three first friends he made upon arriving. If anyone else felt the need to rescue her, aside from him, it'd be Wizard.

'Precious time.' He almost missed the genus Rider whisper to himself. He stood still lost in his thoughts before coming to a decision, walking past Wizard to go over to the two Zi-Os.

"The most treasured memory from 2017 actually involved the creation of Eon." His friends were surprised by this but kept quiet, curious of the story. "You see, me and my two closest friends saw or just heard of too many people in respectable positions get away with things. Such as horrible people working within schools, crooked or racist police officers, bribed judges, cultist misusing religion, and so o n. My friend then suggested to me and our other friend that we should do something to make a change. That's when I came up with a solution that I would end up regretting. With the help of my two friends, Eon came into existence."

"Why did you name it Eon for?" Derpy asked.

Build sighs composing himself before continuing. "Similar to Humagears in being a synthetic A.I. android, Eon was made to absorb any knowledge that relates to their assignment to learn and improve themselves. They also adapt to problems and obstacles they encounter to grow their experience. Hense the name 'Eon' to match the amount of knowledge and experience they'll have by the time they start their assignment."

Decade crosses his arms. "Then the creation of this 'Eon' with your friends is what you treasure the most."

"No!" The group was taken aback by the sudden harsh response. "What I treasure the most was the fact that it was the first time I ever got to work on and succeed on an invention with my two closest friends. It was when we found a future we all wanted to work towards and create together to see one day."

One of the watches on Turner's wrists began to glow. Removing it, he and the others watched it changed into a blue and red Ridewatch with Build's symbol at the top and the year 2017 on the bottom. Turner turned the front for it to now show Build's face.

"You were right. Our memories that align with our Ridewatch's year unlocks them."

Signaling Decade, Jurassic walks up to them after his brother tosses the bag to him and brings out the Ridewatches and Fullbottles from the palace to hold out to them. "Now is good as time as any to hand these over." He turned facing back to Wizard. "You're right, Wizard. We were focusing on the wrong things. Even I made that mistake. Seems even your big brother still has some learning to do."

Jurassic goes wide eyed suddenly sensing something. "Are you alright, big brother?" Wizard questioned having taken notice.

Before anything could be said, an alarm on Build's Primal Cell goes off. Having a bad feeling, he opens the cell for a moment to press a button to make a digital screen and keyboard appear. (RabbitTank! Yeah!/Alpha Tyranno!) Build first changed back into his base form before franticly typing as fast as he could. Jurassic followed suit to wait along with the others for what could be the cause for Build to be rushing.

"What do you think is wrong?" Derpy questioned with Decade shaking his head.

"Only one thing it could be."


Minutes Before


Within the steel mill, the sounds of Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo banging their fists against the bubble could be heard. Having grown tired of doing nothing but sitting, the girls had resumed trying to break out even if their chances of doing so were zero.

"What your both doing is pointless. Talking would be a better option. If you'd like, I'll answer whatever questions you have of Connor, Negi and Reiji. As an old friend, I know a lot about their past."

"Yeah, well I'd rather hear Rarity bore me to death about fashion than listen to anything you have to say." Rainbow answered without even a second thought.

"Well...it would be...nice to learn something new about Connor." Scootaloo hummed in thought before catching her surrogate sister frown at her in disapproval. "I mean...Yeah, we don't want to hear anything from you!"

Clara clicks her tongue. "And here I thought you're supposed to encourage friendship- Oh? I see. Well played." She had said though she seemed to direct the last part to someone else.

An alarm suddenly began to go off. Rainbow and Scootaloo jumped, startled by the wailing alarm. They searched around for the source or cause for the loud noise until their eyes land on the control panel. Their eyes go wide when they see the time with still a few hours left goes straight down to zero.

"Hey!" Rainbow shouts punching the bubble again. "What's going on? I thought you were going to give Connor time to find us."

"He did. Seems like he's already located this factory and has disabled my device." Screens appear in front of the bubble. The two show video feeds of Build's Tank, Firetruck, and Submarine Engines shooting their way through Humagears and out the mill while the others show spots of where the small machines had tampered with the device. Clara clicks her tong in annoyance. "Seeing how he wants to ruin our game, I am going to have to move to 'Plan B',"

Rainbow and Scootaloo didn't have a good feeling about this. Their fears are correct when the bubble shakes from the giant furnace coming to life with flames ignite at the bottom. Scootaloo hugs her surrogate sister tightly, terrified by what this could be leading to.

"Connor, hurry and get your ass here already." Rainbow quietly mouthed to herself while trying to comfort Scootaloo with pats to the head.


Back at the Site


"That damn witch." A satellite image of the steel mill shows a red growing mark from within the mill. "She's turned that old furnace into a bomb."

It takes a moment for the group to take in what they were just told and then shout 'WHAT!?' in panic tone. All except Decade who just says "Thought so."

"How do you know?" Turner questioned walking over to him along with the others. 

"The slowly growing red on the screen indicates a buildup of some kind of energy." He is directed to the red circle on the screen that slowly extends out. "I'm not sure of what kind of energy, but the fact on how it's already giving a reading means that this explosion could be huge."

Another alarm goes off as multiple dots appeared on the screen. Hitting a few keys, Build brings up another two screens that shows the point of view of two different things flying over the steel mill. The Rider had inputted commands to Jet and Rocket to give them eyes on what's happening. They watched as Riotoozes spawned in from all around while the few Humagears that remained used Zetsumeriser keys to transform into a Magia that Wizard was all too familiar with.

"Really? That Magia again?" Everyone turned to the annoyed mage. "That thing was a pain to take down. It kept repairing itself." This raised a brow from Build.

"Do you know what the key was called?" Wizard thought back to when the Magia had pinned him down. Looking up at it, he could remember the first part of the name on the key. "Imperia-something. The rest was cracked up from the tubes." "OOO knows more about Ultraman than me, but I did learn about all the robotic kaiju."

Build types again to bring up data on the robot call Imperializer which was what the keys are based on. "Imperializer is a soldier/scout that was first used by an antagonist faction in its original world call the Empera Army. Like you said, its capable of repairing itself from just about anything as long as its repair system remained intact. Besides having strong armor, this machine could teleport, change its arms into weapons, and was equipped with powerful firearms."

"One was tough to deal with. And now we have..." Wizard counted the Imperializer Magia on the screen. "20?! You have got to be joking. How are we supposed to deal with that many?"

The genius Rider brings up cymatics of the giant robot. "Like I said before it's able to repair itself as long as the system remains active. Meaning that they'll be unable to repair themselves if we destroy the system first."

Decade raises a brow from underneath his helmet. "And how exactly do we find that?"

"You can't." He flat out answered. "Unless you get lucky, you're going to have to fight until the Engines' scans pinpoint them."

Jurassic takes a glance at the map. "If we're going to do this, then were going to need to catch them by surprise. Any ideas on accomplishing this?"

Each Rider tried thinking of what options they might have. Build thought of options based on his forms with Fullbottles he has at his disposal. He even added the new Fullbottles he was just given to his options. But that was when a thought came to mind.

"Hold on." He holds up the Fullbottles to Jurassic. "Besides these, what else did you three find at the palace."

He searches into the bag. "There are Progrisekeys, these three eye looking things, locks, a box, Core Medals." He named holding out and putting back each item. The Eyecons he held up were pink, purple and cyan. The Lockseeds were transparent blue and had a cherry and melon. The Core Medals have the images of a panda, raccoon, badger, porcupine and pangolin. Wizard switched rings while saying, "We also found these with the medals." (Connect, Please!) A large number of cans began spilling out the spell circle.

"That'll work."


The Steel Mill Minutes Later


The once quiet abandoned mill was no overrun by grunts and Magia. Riotoozes kept watch over the area while patrolling around the place. The Magias just stood out in the open within the area.

Inside the building Rainbow and Scootaloo continued trying to break free from the bubble, though not as energetic as before. The two had just about exhausted themselves from having punched and kicked against their prison. 

Between breaths, Scootaloo asks "How much longer are they going to?"

"Knowing that egghead, he probably just finished coming up with a plan." "Another option would be that he's abandoned you both." Clara's comment ticked Rainbow off in more ways than one. "Hey, no one asked you. So, how about you just fuck off."

"Someone is being testy." She spoke in amusement. "Doesn't matter either way for me. I'd welcome him to come and face Hammer again." Her voice paused with the Eon materializing in front of the machine. "Especially now that it has improved itself."

The two find Clara's words to be true. Aside from the head, shoulders and chest, which now seemed reinforced, the rest of the body had become less bulky and now looked more like a Rider's suit. Bronze armor covered most of the body with a double headed war hammer that matches the one on the bottle's image being held in the right hand. The double head of a war hammer were attached to both the Eon's armored shoulder pads.

Rainbow could tell more than its appearance had changed. The Eon could almost be giving off an intense pressure that she didn't feel at all the first time she saw it. There's a chance the outcome will end more badly for Connor seeing how their last confrontation. "Raahhh!" The shouts and screams of the grunts could be heard outside along with a ruckus.

"Sounds like your friends are right on time." [That's obvious.]

Hearing their friend, the two looked around for Build but couldn't see him anywhere. Scootaloo does manage to spot something on their level. "What's that?" Rainbow followed her line of sight to find a small mechanical grasshopper on the catwalk's railing. It was green and silver and looked to be about the same size as the Build's Engines.

[Hide and seek is over, Clara.]

Hammer jumps back as Build comes springing straight out the ground with the Vortex Saber. The Eon manages to avoid Build's drill by a hair. While the floor repaired itself, he tries to strike at the Eon, but it crosses both its hammers to block the saber. Despite using all his strength, Hammer easily shoves him with ease and begins to go on the attack.  Build is made to go on the defense as he does his best fending off the swings of Eon's hammers with his saber.

"Come on, Build! Show that bolthead who's boss." "Don't let him push you around." Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo cheered, shouting to the Rider. Hammer soon lands a hit on Build's left shoulder causing sparks to fly off. At that moment, the girls watched circuit streams travel where Build had stood to and up the machine they're in. The orb glowed before electricity shot out from within and painfully shocks them. "Aaaahhh!!"

"No!" Hammer takes the opportunity of him being distracted to land another hit on the chest, which results in Rainbow and Scootaloo getting shocked again. "Aaaahhh!!" "Clara, leave them out of this. I'm the one you're after."

"That may be true." Not wanting to hurt his friends again, Build just avoids Hammer's swings and tries to keep a few steps from it by using Rabbit's spring to jump away. "But it doesn't mean they can't participate in our little game. I'm sure you already know the first of the two rules. The moment you take a good enough deal of damage, the area will send the force of the damage as an electrical shock to your two friends. The second rule applies to Hammer in the same way." The timer on the control panel's screen changes into a gauge meter. "A certain amount of damage inflict onto him will slowly make the gauge go up and charge the giant furnace. Once completely charged, the furnace will explode, turning this whole steel mill into nothing but a crater. You'll have to defeat Hammer or save your friends before the gauge is filled. If not, I wonder if you'll be able to escape the explosion in time." Knowing he can't just keep defending, Build tries to go for the attack. Hammer stops him mid-swing with its weapon before using the second to hit the saber out of his hand and into one of the pillars. "That's if you can even manage to damage Hammer."

The Eon thrusts both its hammers into the Rider's chest which makes him slide a few feet back with sparks flying off him. "Aaaahhh!!" Hearing his two friends' pain, Build brings out the rhino and dryer bottles. "Time to put this new weapon's toughness to the test." (Sai! Dryer! Best Match! Are you ready?) "Build up." Ukulele music plays as the constructs closed onto Build. (Cho netsu tairiku! SaiDryer! Yeah!) Rabbit was replaced with the grey rhino half while tank's was now a scarlet color. Dryer's armor has a heat wave shape as the left shoulder pad and on the top of the left side of the chest, a dryer attached to the left wrist, and the right visor shaped as a dryer shooting out heat.

Energy surged into the Eon's hammers before it dashed towards Build. (Saidryker!) The new weapon announces while being summoned onto the right arm. A pile bunker-based weapon having a grey rhino head shape for the front, scarlet dryer design on the sides, and a red dryer handle at the center bottom of the weapon with a black guard. Build holds up the weapon like a shield and begins defending against an on slot of swings.

"Lets try this out." Parrying the next swing, he presses the arm's dryer against the Eon and shoots scorching heat that makes the Eon take a step back. Build presses the trigger twice. (1-2. Medium!) Reeling the Saidryker back, it made a dryer charge noise while the rhino horn began to heat up. (Burning Horn!) The weapon called out with the rhino head shotting forward after Build had thrusted the Saidryker into the Eon's chest. The attack was powerful though it seemed to not be that affected by the attack from how it only sent it sliding backwards a few feet.

He takes a quick glance at the gauge to see it hadn't gone up. "Alright, that amount of damage is doable." Summoning the Drill Crusher, Build and Hammer run at each other, continuing their battle. Build mostly guarded and avoided the Eon's attacks while throwing a few of his own hits which Hammer brushed off.


Outside


Chaos was spreading all around outside from small explosions happening left and right. Riotoozes went dropping left and right. From getting blown around, such as two falling off a walkway and landing on top others, to others splattering to ooze onto random things. One even threw itself into, shattering an old wooden crate to bits to avoid one of the explosions.

Like the hopper, flocks of silver and red mechanical birds were the cause of the chaos. They dropped small round explosives as they flew by. A couple of Riotoozes were about to launch a counterattack. but are taken by surprise when random objects are thrown at them. Old machinery, junk and rocks were being thrown at the grunts by two similar types of mechanical animals like the birds. One being a silver and black gorilla that threw the heavy objects and the other a greenish triceratops flicking the rocks towards them.

The Millenia Cruser comes ramming through the front gate amongst the chaos. Den-O, Wizard and OOO followed on their Ride Machines behind the Millenia. Now having gotten past the gate the three speed around and past both Zi-Os to place themselves at the front. The unharmed Riotoozes were quick in firing energy blasts at them, though the Riders just powered through.

"LET'S GO!! LET'S GO!!" Den-O shouted while slashing down three grunts as he drove by while OOO jumped off and up onto the catwalk. Extending the Toraclaws out, the Rider battled his way through, knocking a few Riotoozes off the catwalk before seeing ones ahead getting ready to fire and proceeds to switch out his medals for shrimp, turtle and horse.

"Time for a switch." (Ebi! Kame! Uma!) While tiger and grasshopper changed to turtle and horse, hawk's image and helmet changed into an orange-colored shrimp with a sky-blue visor and antenna poking out above them.

OOO puts the halved shell on his wrists together, creating an energy shield to defend against the grunts' energy blasts. Taking a deep breath, he then blows out bubbles that he kicks at and destroys the grunts with that exploded on impact. Wizard continued driving around, drifting side to side to avoid energy blasts. Riotoozes jump out from up ahead to block his way.

"Out of the way." (Connect, Please!) Bringing out the WizSwordGun in gun mode, the mage hits the breaks, doing a donut and knocking the blasts away with his Ride Machine before firing back at them. Some try to avoid the bullets but still get hit when the bullets curved into them. "I tried to warn ya."

The Millenia easily tanked its way through the blasts. "Hold on tight, Derby." Speeding up, Turner rams through a group of Riotoozes, splattering them all to bits. All except one that luckily managed to roll out of the way. That was at least until Turner hits the breaks causing Derpy to stumble in her seat and accidently pushes the button for the sentry gun on top to come out and blast the grunt to bits.

"Oops. Sorry." She shouted apologetically back to the grunt's puddle remains. Both she and Turner got out their Ride Machine to see more grunts running their way. (Might I suggest using the Ride Watches, my lords.) Woz chimes in, jumping onto Derpy's shoulder.

"I'm up for it if you are." From his left wrist, Turner takes the OOO watch that had Saber next to it. "D;Yeah, let's do it." Derpy cheerfully responds getting the Build watch that's also on her left wrist with the Kabuto watch.

(Build!/OOO!) Both watches called out after turning the front of the watches and pressing the button at top. They then inserted the watches into the other empty side of their Drivers and press the belt's button to unlock the front and plays the standby jingle until the spun the buckle. (Kamen Rider Zi-O! Armor Time!) Their Drivers called out as an armor having Build's resemblance materialized in front of Derpy and does his pose. The right shoulder pad is a red Fullbottle while the left is blue. Turner got a hawk, tiger and hopper armors run up to him. (Best Match! Build!/Taka! Tora! Batta! OOO!) Electronic rock music played along with Build's transformation noise, the armor flew and attached onto Derpy, giving her a face resembling Build's and the kanji visor spelling out the Rider's name. The Drill Crusher Crusher, a drill weapon themed after Build's Drill Crusher, was attached to the back of the right hand. With a drum beat mixed with Tatoba's jingle, batta splits in half before the three line themselves up and attach onto Turner. The right shoulder pad having the tiger's head and other being the rearend, only having a claw blade on the right arm, the chest has the kanji writing of the animals instead of the animal, and the visor kanji now saying 'OOO'.

(REJOICE!!) Woz flew, floating in front of both Zi-Os as they we about to charge. (The ones who have inherited the power of my loard... The king and queen of time. Their names are Kamen Rider Zi-O Build and OOO Armors. Truely this is a spectacular moment in history.) Everyone around stared blankly at Woz for a few seconds before looking to one another confused. Turner and Derpy just shrugged to each other and just charge forward.


Meanwhile


Seeing and hearing the disturbance, separate groups of Imperializer Magias began making their way towards the battle. Each group from different sections of the area converging to destroy the intruders. Three Imperializers marched in between two buildings.

(Therizino Claw!) Jurassic comes smashing through the wall to their left. He held the Exacore/Sword mode in his right hand and the Core Armament attached to the left arm. He tackles the three Magia through the other wall, drags them a bit across the room, knocks them over while having rolled and turns back to face them on one knee. The Imperializers stand back up with their arms changing into a large blade for the right and a spiked mace for the other.

"Let's see if you're as tough as Wizard said." Sprinting forward, he slides under the first two's swings and comes back up to guard against the third using Therizino Claw. Shoving the Imperializer back, Jurassic leaps at it and brings the claw down across the chest. He turned, swinging his sword at the second Imperializer and follows with a jab to its chest with the claw. "Next up." The first went past the forced back second Imperializer to swing a punch with the mace hand. Jurassic hits the punch aside with his sword and then follows with a claw uppercut to the Magia. Imperializer swings the large blade after being forced back a step. Jurassic rolls under the swing, getting behind the Magia and turns in time to strike its back with the sword. He then crosses his arms before swinging them open the moment Imperializer turns to face him, making sparks fly off the Magia from a cross slash.

"Uh!" Jurassic crosses his arms defensively in time to guard against beams fired from the other two Imperializers. He tries holding his ground as he's pushed back inch by inch. The last Imperializer gets back on its feet and joins the other two in firing a beam at the Rider. Jurassic is pushed back, falling flat on his back in the center of the building with the Therizino Claw ejecting itself and disappearing. "Ugh." Jurassic stands shaking off the hit.

He looks back to find the three Magia repair the damage he had delt them. An explosion is heard behind him. He turns to find three more Imperializers walk through a hole they had made in the building's wall. The two groups of three close in on him from both sides. Reaching behind himself, he brings out and stares at a green crystal.

Flashback

Having an idea of what it is, he brings out the last of the black crystals and finds it glowing. Everyone watches in amazement and surprise as the crystal became green with the fang on the inside changing into a raptor head. Turning it over, the kanji writing for 'Everlasting Insight' appear.

Flashback Ends

"Raptor, don't let me down." After taking the Tyranno Core out, he pushes the top of the Raptor Core. (Alpha Raptor! Infusion!) While a techno standby theme plays as the DNA strap went from red to green, an obsidian wall with a fossilized velociraptor sprung out from the ground behind him. "Core shift." He ends with inserting the core and pushing the slot down. (Core Spark! Strategic! Enshroud! Strike! Alpha Raptor!) The belt called out with the obsidian wall breaking into pieces and engulfing Jurassic. The red glow from within the cracks' changes to green and bursts apart with electricity to reveal the new form.

The armors red hand changed to green while the rex fossil design had become a raptor's fossil. The knight shape of the armor now resembled that of Build's NinninComic's ninja design. The transformation finishes with the raptor skull biting down onto the helmet to change the red zigzag on the visor to a green and the mouthpiece becoming silver mouth guard with a green scarf appearing. (Veloci Kunai!) Having held the Exacore to the belt, the sword attachment becomes covered in obsidian and then breaks to reveal a shorter blade. The obsidian dagger attachment with a clear green bladed edge even extended down the sides of the Exacore with silver raptor claw design.

"A ninja, huh? Who would've thought." The Imperializers all fired their turrets at the Rider.

The fireballs all hit their mark, engulfing Jurassic in a flaming explosion. The Magia used their scanners to search for him with the flames. They could find no sign of him aside from a burnt log. Confused, the six searched around for their lost target. (Strike!) A green blur speeds by them multiple times, each time getting struck with a slash. Jurassic comes to a stop holding the kunai upside down while the Imperializers dropped flat on their backs behind him.

"Now that's speed." He complimented in admiration of the new form. He turns back to the repairing Magia. "There's no reason to hold back now." Jurassic crouched like a ninja and then dashes forward.


Elsewhere


Three Imperializers marched by a conveyor belt that has an upward slope facing the same way as them. The machine to not have been in use for a long time with a few parts a bit rusted and others a bit worn down.

(Attack Ride. Blast!)

Multiple shots rain down the three causing them to stop in their tracks. Despite the shots having only done little damage, the Imperializers still looked up for the cause of the attack. They find Decade at the top of the slope, having his back turned to them and resting against the railing with the Ride Booker in his right hand.

"You know, I had plans with a friend today, but you tin heads and your boss had to ruin that by kidnapping our friend." Decade spoke while having leaned off the rail and turned to face down at them. "On the bright side though, I get to let out that frustration onto you three." He sets the Ride Booker to the side of his belt to bring out the Agito card.

(Kamen Ride. Agito!) Decade jumps off from the top as the Imperializers shot fireballs towards him. Landing as Agito, Decade lands a punch in the middle Imperializer's chest, sending it flying and landing flat on its back. The other two try taking a swipe at him, but Decade uses his are to stop the left's hit and follows to duck under the right's. He then counters to knee the right Imperializer's gut causing it to falter and then thrusts the same leg into the left's chest. With the left stumbling back, Decade moves to the right Imperializer's side while having smacked its next hit away to line the two up. He lands a punch on the Magia, sending it flying into the other and the two crashing into the third Imperializer.

Decade stops in his tracks when he hears load explosions. From the sounds, the explosions seem to be coming from the other side of the mill. "Zero-One really is impressive to volunteer on facing so many at once." Cracking his knuckles, he focuses back on the Magia. "Better make sure I do my part."


At the Same Time


Fireballs were shot by the Imperializers around wildly that they either hit or flew by objects around the area. Zero-One jumped around avoiding the last eleven Imperializers shots. With Zero-One's amazing senses, the Rider avoided the attacks with ease while using the Attache Calibur to slash his way through some.

While sliding on the handrail of a catwalk, Zero-One brings out the liger key. (Claw! Progrisekey confirmed. Ready to utilize. Liger's ability.) He then jumps as fireballs hit the catwalk. (Chargerise! Full Charge! Striking Kaban Dynamic!/Rising Impact!) Zero-One's weapon and belt's finishers called out while he continued avoiding the shots. In a zigzag pattern, the Rider went through five of them but stops to avoid the beams that were about to hit him. The five Imperializer each fell apart from having been cut down by a different number of slashes each. Having landed in a high spot, Zero-One turns to see if he managed to damage the repair system of one. Unfortunately, they all begin repairing themselves.

"Should've guessed it wouldn't be that easy." Zero-One ends bringing out the falcon key and proceeds to change forms. (Wing! Authorize!) The Imperializers shot fireballs from their turrets at him. As they got close, a big mechanical falcon came swooping in and knocking the attacks away. (Progrise!) Zero-One's faceplate splits in half and moved to the side. The upper part of the chest armor moved to the shoulders while the bottom half moved to his sides, and the upper leg armor doing the same in moving to the side of the thighs. (Fly to the sky! Flying Falcon! Spread your wings and prepare for a force.) The falcon broke into five pieces that become pink armor on the Rider's face, chest, legs and the front of the shoulders. This new pink armor had a feather and wing design, and the faceplate is shaped like a bird's face with green visor eyes. "But that just makes the challenge more interesting."

The Magia all launch attacks at the Rider. Zero-One manages to avoid the shots by flying up into the sky. With the new case being summoned into his right hand, he unfolds it into a bladed bow, also known as the (Attache Arrow!)


Within the Building


Rainbow and Scootaloo could only watch as Build continued using the Saidryker and Drill Crusher to defend against Hammer. The Eon had begun getting the upper hand from how its movements and reactions were getting faster. This has made it difficult for the Rider to strike back.

"How long do you expect to last at this rate, Build. Defending can only get you so far."

(1. Low! Heated Horn!) With the Saidryker's horn giving off heat, Build thrusts his weapon at Hammer but, the Eon used one of its hammers to stop him mid swing and then hits it out his hand with the other hammer. Hammer then slams the weapon's hilt into the Rider's chest causing him to stagger. Build uses the Drill Crusher take the hit from Hammer thrusting the first hammer's tip at him, but it still sends him slamming into one of the pillars on the right side of the machine.

"Ugh." Trying to shake off the hit, Build looks back to see the Eon begin to twirl its hammers with energy building into them. "Shoot." He pulls the rhino bottle out from his Driver and inserts it into the Drill Crusher. (Ready, Go! Vortex Break!) Grey energy spun around the drill before creating a construct of a rhino horn/ The two launch their attacks, but Build's attack easily gets shattered through. "Aaaahhh!" Sparks flew off the Rider from being hit by the attack and being dragged through all six pillars. "Aaaaahhhh!!" Rainbow and Scootaloo screamed, falling against the bubble after having been zapped from the force of hit Build took traveling through the ground to them.

"Sad to see this is what has become of the genus I once knew." Clara spoke as Hammer walks up to the Rider who's trying to stand up. Build tries to strike at Hammer but the Eon hits the Drill Crusher out of his hand, then stomps and keeps its foot on the Rider's left wrist to keep him from using the dryer. He struggles to free his arm. "The original you would have thought his way through all this and found the solution before even facing Hammer again. Why would you be so reckless? Are these two that important to you that you would throw all your logic and reason out your mind?" The Rider ceases his struggling when energy builds in the Eon's hammers once again. "Though I suppose questions are meaningless now. Hammer, he's out of options. End his miserable life once and for all."

Rainbow and Scootaloo both awaken in time to see Hammer begin to raise both its weapons. "What the hell are you doing, Build? Keep fighting!" Rainbow shouted, punching the bubble again as the Eon held its hammers over its head. Scootaloo covers her eyes and screams, "No!" the moment Hammer brought down its weapons on the Rider.

"You aren't Clara." Hammer froze hearing Build's words an inch before its weapons made contact with his head. "What?" "You aren't Clara Allison. She would had never done any of this." The Eon removes its foot and backs away. "I wanted to believe you were actually her, but..." He sighed sadly as he stood up. "I just didn't expect for you the defective Eon from long ago."

"CLARA!!" Clara's voice wasn't heard from all around, but from Hammer. "I'm Clara Allison! You gave me the name. You should use it properly. Just because I wasn't the perfect replacement for the real Clara, doesn't mean you can just take my name away."

"That was a mistake on my part. It was wrong of me to try to replace her." Build looked down while saying, "That's another mistake I'll have to live with." before looking back to Clara. "I can't let you do this. Those two may be a long line of annoyances that will come into my life, but they're still friends of mine. I've already let you take one friend from me. I won't let history repeat itself."

"Do you really think you can stop me?" Clara twirled her hammers to build energy into them. "Delta!" The Saidryker flew past her left and back onto Build's arm. "What?!" She turned to look behind and finds a small dinosaur like Blaze and Razor. This one is the green velociraptor named Delta.

(1-2-3. High!) Clara turns back to see a lot of heat coming off from the Saidryker. (Raging Horn!) She launches her attack the same moment Build's weapon shoots a rhino head made of heat, resulting in the two trying to overpower each other. They're just about even until the Rider uses his dryer arm to shoot heat, adding to the attack and breaking through Clara's. She uses her hammers to guard against the attack. (FireHedgehog! Yeah!) Clara only gets a second to see Build now in his hedgehog firetruck form before the ladder gun extended, ramming into her but only being pushed back an inch. The gun began shooting her with water at point blank while hearing the finisher activate. (Ready? Go! Vortex Finish! Yeah!) Build pulls himself forward by retracting the ladder gun with the right needle hand covered in fire. Not having a choice, Clara uses her war hammers again to block the attack. Delta jumps into a shadow to come springing out of Build's. The raptor multiples into two for one to knock the Fullbottles out of the Driver while the other inserts the dog and mic bottles and turns the crank. (Dog! Mic! Best Match! Are you ready? Inyashi no daibakuon! DogMic! Yeah!) Hearing heavy metal music from the Driver, she find Build's form change to a sienna and silver form. Sienna having a dog head design on the right arm, the tail end as the shoulder pad, and a barking dog shaped visor. While the silver side had a mic left arm with a wire connect to a audio mixer shoulder pad, the switches being part of the chest, and a mic visor. Delta spun the crank again. (Ready? Go! Vortex Finish! Yeah!) Grabbing his left arm, Build thrust forward for a sonic dog bark to hit Clara before she should react.

The gauge on the control panel only goes up by a tiny inch. "It won't be like before." (LionCleaner! Yeah! Ready? Go!) Quickly switching forms, he activates the finisher and pulls her back to him using the vacuum arm. (Vortex Finish! Yeah!) Energy filled the Gold Lio Gauntlet before Build swung his fist at Clara's hammers. Her weapons may have taken the hit but from not having her feet on the ground, the force of the attack sent her flying into the wall. "Now that I know you aren't the real Clara, there's no reason for me to hold back now." He switches bottles at the end. (Kujira! Jet! Best Match! Are you ready?) Tropical music played as the constructs closed to change Build's form into a navy and cyan form. (Amakakeru big wave! KujiraJet! Yeah!) His new form now had a whale head shoulder pad with a water shooting mold on the chest following next to a cyan jet and scramble lane chest piece, cyan jet wings mounted on the back, and a jet visor on the right side of the helmet while the left is a whale visor. Multiplying Deltas, along with some small jets launched from Build's chest, all go over and attack Clara while the Rider activated his finisher. (Ready? Go!) The Deltas ceased their attack as the floor under them became water. Clara could see the shape of whale swim by under her and over to the Rider. She was so focused on Build using the jetpack to takeoff, that she was too late on noticing the tale come up and hitting her up towards him. (Vortex Finish! Yeah!) The jetpack then shoots Build forward at the Eon with a water covered kick. Her war hammers are used as a shield once again to defend her against the kick that sent her crashing back to and through the wall.

"Yeah, that's it! Kick her ass, Build!" Rainbow shouted out, cheering her friend as he flew out after her while switching bottles once again.

"Rainbow Dash, look." Scootaloo directed her down to the control panel. There she is show that the gauge has only gone up a tiny inch. "If Build's attacks are hardly hurting her, how is he going to be able to win?"

"Knowing that egghead, I'm sure he already has something planned out." She spoke with confidence before looking back to the hole in the wall.

The two get surprised by the wall completely breaking apart to melt into the floor that in turn stretches and spreads over the ground of the area where Clara had landed. They were a bit glad about it because now they could continue seeing the fight from where they were. The Eon stood up to find herself on train tracks that run along the outside steel mill with some train carts around. (Taka! Gatling! Best Match! Are you Ready? Tenkuu no abarenbou! HawkGatling! Yeah!) Following the brass band music, she looks up to find Build flying in the orange and gray colored, HawkGatling form. Hawk Gatlinger! The gun is summoned into his right hand. Clara growls before moving over to the train carts and hitting them up towards the Rider.

Build maneuvered by the carts while turning the Gatlinger's chamber. (10! 20! 30! 40!/Ready? Go! Vortex Finish! Yeah!) Clara gets trapped in a spherical graph that's created from Build activating the finisher. He fires the 40 charged bullets while diving down at her. She just stood taking the shots that seemed to have little effect on her. Clara readied her war hammers as the Rider got closer. She swings with full force, but Build saw this coming. He timed it to the last second and instead used the hammers as a platform to jump over her. (NinninComic! Yeah!) (Bunshin no Jutsu!) Clara turned to find six Builds another form with the 4Koma Ninpoutou. Avoiding her next strike, the six began running in a circle around her while slashing at her and the hammers. (Fuuton no Jutsu! Tatsumaki Giri!) The weapon called out before a powerful cyclone began lifting the Eon into the air.

(Octopus! Light! Best Match! Are you ready? Inazuma technican! OctopusLight! Yeah!) She sees Build's ninja half had changed to a magenta color with an octopus head and tenacles as a shoulder pad, suction cups on part of the chest and arm, and downward swimming octopus as the visor. While comic's was now light-yellow with a lightbulb shoulder pad, spotlight on the left arm, a lightning bolt on the chest, and a light bulb with lightning bolts on the right side as the visor. (Ready? Go!) Activating the finisher, the octopus head shoots out ink up at Clara, trapping her in a bubble of ink. Build the holds the bubble place by using the tenacles. (Vortex Finish! Yeah!) He aims the spotlight and fires a beam of light that causes the ink to explode. Build pants looking up at the cloud of the explosion, feeling the exhaustion of changing forms so much.

Not surprised, Clara comes falling out of the cloud with the finisher having done very little to her. Build rolls out of the way a second before the Eon could crush him under her war hammers. (KeyDragon! Yeah!) The Rider rolls to his feet having changed again and once again activating the finisher. (Ready? Go!) He sends chains from the key on his arm that bind around Clara. (Vortex Finish! Yeah!) Creating a dark blue fireball, Build launches the attack at Clara, hitting her dead on. The fireball pushes her back a bit before she breaks free from the chains and hits the attack to the side causing it to destroy a part of the track. She looks back to the Rider, who after changing back to RabbitTank in a flash, fall to his hands and knees. "Is that it, Build? Is this all the Genus Rider can muster up to save his friends?"

Build looks over to his trapped friends who he could tell were either hitting the bubble and cheering for him or just trying to break free to come help him out. Either way, it got a small chuckle out of him. "I'm going to take a play from you, Rainbow Dash." He quietly said to himself before facing back to Clara. "Time to go all in." Rising back to his feet, the Vortex Saber dematerializes to be resummoned into the Rider's hand. "Hope I'm right about this." He inserts two bottles into the saber and then activates the finisher. (Dragon! Engine! Cross Combo!) The saber's drill spun as if it was on overdrive and dark blue flames covered it when Build dived into the ground while the white energy chart appeared between the two. Clara scoffed at the attempt while standing her ground, building energy into her hammers as the Rider sprung out from where he dove in. (Ready? Go! Vortex Finish! Yeah!) Build thrust his kick down the dotted line to where the Eon waits readied with her attack. 'Now!' The Rider shouted in his thoughts. Having built magic into his hands, Build clapped his hands together which fuses the Vortex Saber with his leg. Clara hadn't expected this but was too late in moving out of the way and just goes through with her attack. Both attacks struggled against one another. Clara felt victorious when she was beginning to push the Rider back, but it's short lived because her hammer shatters. The force from her weapon breaking sends her falling onto her back and sliding a few feet away.

With the saber unfusing from his leg, Build wasn't sure how to explain it but his body felt like it was re-energizing. Almost like the magic within him was filling and expanding. Aside from the rabbit and tank bottles, the rest he had just used fly over his head to form a ring. Rabbit and tank shoot a beam of light into the middle of the ring, causing the Build symbol back within underground area of palace to glow even brighter while a portal opened within the ring. Having an idea of what this meant, Build reaches into the portal and pulls out a soda can looking item. It was mostly silver all around, though the front of it resembled Build's face and had 'RABBIT TANK SPARKLING!!' in small letters at the bottom.

"You! What is the meaning of this. Build?" Clara stood up so they could face each other on equal height. "You're the one who ask if I was giving it my all." Build spoke while removing his bottles. "So, that's what I'll do. Give it my all!"

He shook the soda can before pulling the tab, making a click sound, and inserting it into the Driver. (Rabbit Tank Sparkling!) Build let the standby jingle play for a second before turning the crank a few times. Newer constructs formed the two having half Build's symbol with container, one having a red carbonated essences and the other being blue. The tubes formed a suit similar to RabbitTank. (Are you ready?) "Build up." The constructs closed with techno rock music playing, completing the symbol and having the carbonated essence burst from around him like soda. (Shuwatto hajikeru! RabbitTank Sparkling! Yea-Yeah!) The newer form resembled RabbitTank but the armor was now being spikey burst type of shape with white soda bubble dots on the red and blue parts of the form. A white surge shape also ran both between the two colors and around the wrists, arms, ankles, legs and collar of the neck. Both shoulder pads having an electrical bolt shape in the front. The rabbit of the visor now looked to have its fur standing while the tank had a burst at the end of the barrel as if it had fired, with the same being done on the rabbit ear and tank barrel on the chest. This is Build's upgraded form, RabbitTank Sparkling.

"THAT IS SO COOL!!" Scootaloo squealed in excitement at the appearance of Build's upgraded form. "Rainbow Dash, do you think that was his plan all along?" "Beats me. But I bet someone is about to get their ass kicked."

Despite not having a face to tell her expression, Build knew Clara wasn't happy with the new turn of events. The two stared each other down for a moment until Clara decided to make a move, dashing towards him. Though the second she did this, Build clapped his hands and quickly steps back with his red leg which sends electricity towards Clara, creating a large pinball launcher right in front of her. She didn't have a chance to react as the launcher shot right into her gut and sends her flying up. Using his rabbit leg that builds up soda fizz bubbles, Build leaps at her, leaving behind fizz bubbles and easily closing the distance between them. Thrusting a kick onto her back, Tank's treads grinded against Clara's back before sending her crashing diagonally back to the ground. The gauge at the control panel went up from the force of the hit being able to travel back to it.

"W-What did you do?" The Eon, getting back onto her feet, angrily questioned Build who landed a few feet away.

"If I had to name my magic, it'd be Constuction Alchemy." He runs a finger against the ear of the rabbit visor. "I'll be the one to find the formula to this equation."


Meanwhile


"Ha!" Turner struck down three Riotoozes with the Tora Claw. He turned only to find grunts at the top of a catwalk about to shoot down energy blasts. "Uh-oh." Using the hopper part of the armor, he jumps high up to avoid the shots. Turner lands on the railing of the catwalk and strikes down the ones who shot at him before proceeding to jump across from one catwalk to other while clawing down grunts along the way.

Turner continued his attacks at the top while Derpy stayed at the bottom. Derpy was doing well in fighting the Riotoozes. This was a little thanks to her small assistant, Woz, giving her instructions on when to swing and the rest being her not having well control of the armor's abilities.

Derpy screamed as tank side's foot drove her around. "Woz, can you please tell me how to stop?" (Left. Right. Left. Straight. Right. Right.) He instructed her, to which she did well by flailing the drill around randomly. The few that managed to avoid her ran after her from behind. Other Riotoozes waited ahead of her, ready to tackle her from all angles. (I'd advise you take action, my lord.) "What do you- Ah!" The tank treads stop at that moment, causing her to stumble and fall forward as the grunts all jump at her at once. The drill stabbed into the ground, spin her around in circles, and kicks each grunt that lunged at her and sent them flying without having meant to. Derpy managed to stop the drill but was left wobbling and groaning from feeling dizzy.

"Rah!" Riotoozes roared from the Rider's left, charging towards her while she was defenseless.

Not far behind, Wizard comes driving up them. "Hold it right there." The mage quickly swopped out flame for hurricane ring. (Sha-Hurricane, Please! Fu-Fu, Fu-Fu-Fu-Fu!) Jumping off his bike with a green cyclone surrounding him, Wizard flew ahead and pasted the grunts, knocking them over as he went by. (Big, Please!) Coming to a stop, Wizard turned raising his right arm through the spell circle, with it coming out giant up on the other end. He held it over the grunts for a second before being dropped down on top them. "Uh-Oh." Was all they could say before being crush into puddles of ooze.

"Talk about a mess." He spoke shaking off the ooze on his arm. "You okay over there, Zi-O?" "Yeah/Yes." Both Derpy and Turner, who is still above them, responded.to the mage. Wizard sighed shaking his head. "You guys really need to do something about the name." Wizard looked around at the remaining grunts. "I think it's about time to end this. Don't you agree, Zi-os?" "I'd have to agree./So, do I!" Turner spoke out loud along with a now cheerful Derpy.

(Finish Time! OOO!/Build!) Both Zi-Os Drivers announced while Wizard changed his weapon to sword mode and opened its hand. (Come on a Slash, Shake Hand!) Both Zi-Os turned their Drivers counterclockwise. While facing towards the last of the Riotoozes in front of him on the catwalk, Turner imitates OOO in jumping up high but instead of rings appearing, energy projections of medals having the katakana saying taka, tora, and batta. (Scanning Time Break!) "Saiya!" He preforms OOO's Tatoba Kick with the three medals converging into one, now matching to the one on his chest, as he went through the grunts and lands with them exploding behind him. (Vortex Time Break!) Like Build, an energy chart appears but Derpy jumps to slide on it instead of using it to perform a kick. The chart went passing by the rest of the Riotoozes around her so she could use the drill to destroy the grunts by slashing at them and stabbing through the last few. "The finale." (Hurricane, Slash Strike! Fu-Fu-Fu-Fu!) While spell circles appeared around the sword's blade along with green wind, Wizard sends a powerful green cyclone that lifts and gathers the Riotoozes, even ones that try escaping. He then launches two green wind slashes through the cyclone, destroying all the grunts at once.


Not Far


Still transformed as Agito, Decade side kicks one of the Imperializers while inserting a card into his Driver. (Form Ride. Agito Flame!) The gold on the chest changed to red along with the right arm. The shoulder pad became red and a bit bigger with a gold plate's pointed end pointing upward. He holds his hand in front of the belt as a red handle forms out of it. Taking ahold of it, he brings out a silver bladed long-sword having gold horns, that resembled Agito's horns, acting as the swords hand guard at the top of the handle. Decade now wielded Agito's Flame Saber.

"How's this?" Decade turned delivering three slashes across the Magia's chest, making sparks fly off it as it stumbled back.

Decade continued his assault on Imperializer, not paying attention to the two others coming up behind him. "Hah!" OOO, now in Tatoba form, came down from behind the two Magia with the Tora Claws clawing down their backs. Sparks did fly off their backs but it seemed to do little to them, based on how they rotated the upper half of their body the and their turrets him point blank. "Argh!"

"Now would be a good time as any to use a combo like an idiot." Decade spoke out to his ally, fending off fireballs with his sword while OOO was getting beaten around by the two Magia. "I...kind of gave a few of the medals for the combos away." "Of course you did." He stops Imperializer's sword arm before shoving it off and hitting the Magia back with the hilt of his sword. "I'll give a hand then."

Decade reaches to his side to pull out a card, one half with OOO and other showing three animals, from the Ride Booker. (Final Form Ride. O-O-OOO!!) As OOO gets thrown by one of the Imperializers, parts form on the Rider at the same time his body separated from where the medals on his chest merged. The medal images became animal heads so from separating OOO's head transformed into a hawk, the arms and chest into a tiger, and the legs into a hopper. Decade watched the three begin attacking the two Imperializers for a moment before leaning to his right to avoid the third Imperializer's blade. He turns, delivering three slashes across its chest and follows it up with a drop kick, knocking it onto its back.

"This will be my farewell gift to you." He end by making one his cards appear in his free hand. (Final Attack Ride. A-A-Agito!) The Flame Saber's horns unfolded into six with the saber's blade giving off heat. Decade took a crouching stance before dashing forward, leaping at Imperializer and cutting it down the middle. The two halves catch on fire with the two exploding a second after. Changing back to his original form, Decade turns back to OOO while making another card appear. "Now for the other two to follow along." (Final Attack Ride. O-O-OOO!) Decade jumps high up with the three animals follow him. Some parts come off the three to attach onto Decade, making his armor resemble OOO as he performs his finisher, thrusting his drop kick through the energy rings and goes straight through the two Magia. The two Riders land with the Imperializers exploding behind them.

"Can you please give a warning before doing that." "Nah, that just takes the fun out of it." Decade answered back amused.


At the Sametime


Fireballs went bursting out the building Jurassic is in. Inside, the Rider kept moving around like a ninja. Sliding and jumping over some shot. Disappearing and reappearing from other shots. Using his kunai to knock away or slice through the attacks. The Imperializers fired their turrets around, trying to hit their target.

(Strategic!) His Driver called with Jurassic stopping to glow for a second a few feet from the Magia and multiples into seven. They all throw their kunai at the Imperializers, lodging into them. (Lightning!) Having pushed the hammer once, they raised their hands up with green lightning firing out and building up above them before sending it straight at the kunai. The Imperializers got the voltage of a lifetime that sent them flying through the buildings wall. Dashing after them, the Jurassics' push the Driver's slot up and presses the hammer to start the standby jingle. They all run circles around the six Magia, creating a vortex made of lightning around them. He pushes down the slot after a green raptor claw formed on their feet. (Lightning Scattering Claw!) The Jurassics' moved at amazing speed along with the lightning, striking the Imperializers multiple times. The claws ripped into the Magia each time they struck. The attack ends one Jurassic hitting them into the air and the other six appearing above them to bring an axe kick down on them. The claws get jabbed into the Imperializers' heads and splitting them down the middle. The six clones merge back with the Jurassic at the bottom with the six Imperializers exploding in the sky.

"Batter up!!"

Not far from Jurassic's battle, Den-O drove by, slashing down Riotoozes on the catwalk by using the Denrailer's tracks. Continuing to drive on the materializing, the Rider went around attacking grunts as if he was on a rollercoaster, going in zigzags, up and down, and loops. Two Riotoozes manage to jump at the right moment to land on the front and rear of the Ridemachine. One Den-O holds back with his sword while the one in back gets him in a headlock.

"Get the hell off me!" He elbows the grunt on the side 3 times before its grip loosened. He then grabs its arm and tosses it off and over him. "Now just one." The Riotooze gets slugged off the bike and splattered onto a wall.

Den-O comes to a drifting stop next to Jurassic. "Now for my special attack." He inserts the pass into the bike's slot. (Sword Charge!) Energy shots from both the belt and bike into his sword's blade as well as the two on the front tire before the three blades enlarged and launch out. "Sword Liner Version!" Den-O swung wildly with the blades following each swing. Not only destroying the rest of the grunts around him, but also everything they stood on or tried to hide behind.

"And that is how it's done." He smugly said to himself, resting his sword on his shoulder. 'If you're a wrecking crew./The barking little dog wanting to prove its bark.' "Hey! If you assholes have a problem with how I do things, then-" 'Please don't fight.'

"Is that Zero-One?" "Hm?" Following Jurassic's line of sight, Den-O spots a whole lot of explosions in the sky far ahead from them.

Over at the battle, the Imperializers' caused explosions in the sky by shooting out fireballs and beams up into the air. Zero-One flew maneuvering around the explosions. He avoided some of the attacks while using the Attache Arrow to shoot/slash through others. He drew back the purple grip above the handle to fire out energy arrows.

Zero-One continued his attack on the Imperializers despite the Magia repairing themselves from the few shots that pierce through. He had a reason for this. Each shot that did manage to hit their mark caused the Magia to stumble back a bit from the recoil of the arrow. After having corralled the Imperializers, Zero-One tosses and kicks his weapon higher into the air so could summon out the Attache Shotgun and bring out a progrise key.

(Blizzard! Progrise key confirmed. Ready to utilize. Polar bear's ability. Chargerise! Full Charge!) The weapon called out at the end from folding and opening up the weapon. (Freezing Kaban Buster!) He fires down a powerful freezing shot. All the Imperializers become frozen from the shot spreading around the moment it hit the ground. Tossing the gun, he brings out the shark key before catching the Attache Arrow that came falling back down. (Fang! Progrise key confirmed. Ready to utilize. Shark's ability. Chargerise! Full Charge!) Folding and opening up the weapon, Zero-One draws and releases the purple grip, shooting out a teal arrow that changed into a shark. (Biting Kaban Strike!) The attack moved around in a fast-swimming motion as it made its way through the Magia. They are all left with huge chunks of them seeming to have been bitten off from where the shark had passed through them. Their regeneration had been delayed by their parts having been frozen.

"This should end it." He switches out shark for mammoth. (Press! Progrise key confirmed. Ready to utilize. Mammoth's ability. Breaking Kaban Shoot!) Shooting the arrow upward, Zero-One flies after while activating his finisher. (Flying Impact!) Pink mechanical wings sprout from his back as he flew past the arrow that splits into two. They change into two large mammoth legs. Zero-One thrusts both his feet down into the mammoth legs and drags them down along with him until he lands on top the Imperializers, crushing them beneath him. (Breaking Kaban Shoot!/Flying Impact!) He flies off before he could get caught up in the large explosion from all the Magia being destroyed at once. "They may be tougher, but they aren't that smart."


Back with Build


Catching Clara's punch, Build forces her to lower her arm to deliver an elbow to her chest. The impact creating red, blue, and white fizz bubbles that make her take a step back. The Rider continues with throwing a couple jabs, each hit making sparks and fizz bubbles fly off her. Unlike before, the gauge was going up bit by bit. This was proof on how his attacks were now doing damage.

Clara regains her balance and tries to go for another swing. Build just walks, ducking under the swing, follows that with swinging his arm into her back causing her to stumble, and then thrusts a kick back as she turned to face him. Clara falls flat on her back and sent sliding back a few feet.

"Sparkling is amazing." Build spoke out in amazement to his new power. He turns to face the Eon picking herself up. "Even you have to admit that."

Anger filled Clara as the heads of the war hammers disconnect from her shoulders. Sliding off, the heads are revealed to have short handles with chains connected at the hilt all the way back to the shoulder pad. She takes ahold of the chains in her hands to spin around before tossing them at Build. The Rider jumps avoiding the hammers, shattering the ground he once stood on, leaving a small crater as the genus landed on top one of the train's cargo container. 

"Not a very smart choice." She reels the hammers back to toss it at the Rider once again. Build jumps across to right onto another container, avoiding them once again as they completely crush the side of the container.

"I suppose you make smart choices?" The Eon continued to reel in and toss the hammers while the Rider kept avoiding them by jumping from container to container.

"You and I both know that isn't true. You're the proof of that." Build spoke while avoiding the hammers. On the second to last container, he jumps ahead to the front of the trains. He lands back on the ground in between both trains to see Clara about to toss the hammers again. "Heres the thing about construction alchemy," He spoke clapping his hands together. "so long as I know the object's atomic or molecular makeup, I can create, breakdown, or reconstruct anything." Touching the front of both trains as she tossed the hammers, energy traveled to the center where it creates a rubber curtain that the weapons run into.

They stretch the rubber until it stops in front of Build. He gives it a kick with his red leg to add to the force from the hammers being sent back at Clara. The hit from her own hammers sends her flying back to the end of the train. "Damn you." As she gets back on her feet, she finds Build had leapt in front of her. He slashes her with the edge of Sparkling's left arm acting as a blade. The control panel's gauge went up while sparks flew off Clara. Build turned to slash her another two times, then jumps thrusting a kick into her chest when she turned to face him to push himself away from her to avoid her swinging the hammers at him. "How about this!" Having built power into her hammers, Clara slams them into the ground, sending an energy shockwave towards the Rider.

"Simple."

Build uses his alchemy seconds before the shockwave reached. The attacked seemed to hit its mark from how it impacted with dust clouds covering the spot. Clara waited for the cloud to clear. When it did, she spots what looks to be the remanent of a hole. The floor beneath her flashed for a second before launching her up into the air from having been turned into a spring trap. A hole opens next to the trap with Build jumping out from it and up to Clara where he thrusts his energized fist into her. With fizz bubbles, she is sent crashing diagonally into the ground. Build lands on one knee and hand in front of the spring trap.

"Like I said, simple." He said while the two stood back up.

"Raaaahhhhh!!" Clara makes a mad dash towards him. Build does nothing but stand in place as she got closer and swung both hammers at him. (Manti-Staff!) In his left hand, the staff is used to stop both hammers then follows with inserting the pirate bottle while holding them off. "Almost forgot I can use any and all of the Best Match's weapons, didn't you?" (Capsule Charge! Manti-Surprise!/Saidryker!) Azure energy ankers formed on both ends of the staff while summoning the second weapon in his right hand. He shoves her off before delivering a clean strike to her chest with the pile bunker causing sparks to fly off her. Build gives her no time to recover by spinning while also swinging the staff, each swing hitting Clara with the azure anker. On the last spin, he thrusts the tip into her. Clara is able to block the hit with her hammer, but the force of the hit still sent her sliding back a few feet.

He tosses both weapons aside to summon the 4Koma Ninpoutou. (Bunshin no Jutsu!) Having pressed the trigger once, he creates two clones next to him. (Hawk Gatlinger!/Samethrottler!) The left clone has the gun while the right has the saw. While the left Build jumps up, the other two run up to Clara.

"Ugh!" Going high over her, the left clone fires down multiple shots at her. Clara shielded herself using her arms. The shots were mostly annoying her than doing damage. Though she soon realized it was a small distraction when Build comes down on her with the sword. She manages to stop it with her hammers but then is struck from her left side when the right clone ran by the two. Sparks still flew off her as the clone turned to slash her back. The panel's gauge continued to go up as the two kept landing some hits. While tried fending them off, the left clone began to spin the gun's revolver. (10-20-30-) Both Builds jumped away from her wide swing before the clone twist the weapon's throttle twice. (Jawsome Requiem!) Clara readied herself for the sawblade tire being launched at her. (Futon no Jutsu! Tatsumaki Giri!) A wind slash knocks her off her feet, leaves her hovering off the ground and open for the sawblade crashing into her. Build jumped and stepped on her, pushing her to the ground, to push himself forward towards the left clone. (70-80-90-100! Full Bullet!/Katon no Jutsu! Kaen Giri!) Build slashed the ground flames the moment the clone fired the gun. All hundred bullets flew through a wall of fire created from the slash with the bullets coming out covered in fire.

Clara slammed her hammers into the ground causing a large chunk of the ground to lift up. The chunk acted as a shield all the burning bullets before exploding and covering the space between them in a cloud of dust. (Beat Closer!/Gaburyu Breaker!) Build comes jumping out of the cloud socking the knuckler in his left hand into Clara's chest. After sparks flew off her, she tried to swing her hammer at him, but the Rider parried the hit before striking her with the sword. With cloud clearing, both clones could be seen disappearing.

"You dropped a building on me." Build stops her next swing with the Gaburyu Breaker. "Kidnapped my friends." He hits it to the side before slashing her twice with the swords. "Did harm to them." The Rider avoids each of her strikes with ease. "And worst of all" Build then counters with three quick jabs and then a side kick to the chest, knocking her back a few feet. "You insulted me by having me play this cheap game of yours."

"Damn you." With her charging towards him, Build tosses the sword up into the air to bring out the rabbit, hedgehog, and whale Fullbottles.

Tank, Firetruck, and Jet Engines pass by him the second he tossed the bottles. With the bottles going into their respective Engines, Tank and Firetruck changed into their animal forms. Jet's underside folds out to reveal a slot where the whale bottle inserted into with the top of the bottle pointing out. The wings unhook themselves to rotate, revealing an upside-down navy-colored whale face with red eyes, and connect to the nose of the plane. Turning upside-down, the unfolded part lays itself over the front to make it look navy tail. The two tail fins on both sides rotate around and connect together to complete the Engine's whale form.

The Engines all began attacking Clara, who tries swatting at them. Rabbit hopped around her using its tank barrel ears to shoot, hedgehog stood in place rolling to fire needle quills, while whale flew around shot a strong blast of water. Now having her distracted, Build lets the sword stab into the ground in front of him so he could insert the lion bottle into the Gaburyu Breaker. (Fullbottle! Devour!) He then inserts the dragon bottle into the sword after letting charging the other weapon's attack. (Special Tune! Hippare! Hippare!) The sword called out with the last part being said after he pulled it out from the ground and used the knuckler to pull down the hilt. Build runs up to Clara with both weapons playing their standby music. The Engines ceased their attack to make way for Build. Now seeing him coming, Clara spun charging her hammers a bit before tossing them at the Rider. (Million Slash!) Build swings the sword, sending an equalizing bar slash covered in blue flames. The slash smashes through the hammers, breaking them to bits, and hits the Eon dead on. The attack knocked Clara off the ground. (Essence Build!) Reaching Clara and thrusting the knuckler at her, a yellow lion head formed around the weapon. A huge amount of sparks fly off the Eon as she's sent flying and lands rolling to a stop a good distance from him. He watched Clara stand back up, holding her hand over her now shattered chest armor with sparks flying off now and then from the circuits.

"The law of victory has been set." Hedgehog came back and resumed its attack on Clara. Now having her chest open to attacks, she shields her damage from the quills. Whale flew around behind her to knock her over forward by shooting water. Falling over, Clara finds rabbit, who she had not even noticed had snuck up to her, lying on its back. Tossing the Beat Closer to the side, Build turns his belt's crank as the Engine kicks Clara high up into the air. A spiraling red and blue hourglass-shaped vortex formed that sucks the Eon into. "This is where the game ends." Build uses alchemy on the ground before jumping higher up than the vortex. A structure built up following him from behind, becoming a launchpad that aligned itself with the vortex. Railings springing up from the sides, making it into a railgun launcher. (Ready? Go!) The rails charges energy between them that keeps the Rider hovering between them as he came down on top the pad. Clara struggles trying to free herself from the vortex. She does manage to look through the other end of the vortex to see it was aimed back towards the giant furnace. Red and blue energy with soda bubbles built around Build's kick with the railgun powering up along with him. (Sparkling Finish!) Build is fired straight into with his kick thrusting into Clara's chest, dragging her along with him as they're shot out the other end. Rainbow and Scootaloo watched as the two came flying back into the building and seeing the Rider kick the Eon into the bottom half of the furnace.

The furnace begins to start up. "What's going on?!" Scootaloo questioned with worry and fear in her voice.

"I'd say it's the end of the game." Rainbow answered with her eyes wide open. She was looking down at the panel where she sees the last of the gauge had filled. The giant furnace had begun the process to explode. Figuring the job is done, Build takes his foot off Clara because he knows they won't have much time till the whole area explodes. That is until the Eon grabs onto his foot while chuckling with a glitch sound. "Enjoy your victory for now, Connor. Next time will be the real game." The visor light shuts off before the grip releases with the body goes limp. Build stares at the Eon of a second before hearing Rainbow Dash shout down to him, "Hello! Build! How about getting us the hell out of here and away from the fucking ticking time bomb!"

Focusing back on the task, Build jumps up to them with the Gaburyu Breaker still in his left hand while also bringing out the jet bottle. (Fullbottle! Devour!) Reaching them, he uses the knuckler shatter the front of the bubble. Build just says, "Time to go.", to them, grabs and carries both Rainbow and Scootaloo by their waist, and jumps all the way up towards the ceiling. He uses himself break through the ceiling to get up on to the roof. He only stays on the roof for a second before leaping forward off the roof. "This is you're stop, Scootaloo."

Scootaloo wanted to question what he meant by that but was let go of right then. This shocked both her and Rainbow Dash. Though the shock didn't last long for the rainbow haired sister. Scootaloo wanted to scream but before she could, someone grabs her from behind and flies forward with her. She smiles when she looks behind to find that it was Zero-One who caught her with one arm while the other still held the Attache Arrow.

(Essense Build!) Holding up the weapon overhead, a cyan jet materializes around the Gaburyu Breaker. The jet allows Build and Rainbow to fly beside Zero-One. The two race to get as far as they can from the steel mill. Back inside the building, the furnace was now completely glowing, giving off vast amounts of heat and exploding seconds after. This was no regular explosion. Instead of causing destruction, the whole steel mill and a bit of the outer area disappeared in an explosion of fire. Grass, plants, and other things like them burnt to ash in an instant. Metal melted while the ground, concreate, and bricks darkened from being scorched. The huge explosion of fire could be seen all the way from the town and city.


After A While


Sirens filled the area as first responders arrived at the scene. A whole bunch of firetrucks, police cars, and ambulances came driving up what's left of the mill. Firefighters raced to contain what remains of the fire before it could spread onto the nearby trees. Most police officers had made a blockade by the road to redirect traffic and keep news crews and others at a safe distance away from the flames. While the rest of the officers remained on the sidelines with the ambulances.

Not that far Rainbow Dash watched along with the Riders, two who are now in different forms, as the mill's fires were being put out. Scootaloo was not just watching but also taking pictures with her cell phone. They had hidden themselves on the other side of the road, from where the reporters, behind some trees and bushes a good distance away. Rainbow Dash and Scootaloo peeked out from bushes they knelt behind. Most of the Riders just stood behind the trees. Wizard was now in his Water Style form while Build had changed using the hawk and firetruck bottles.

"This is so cool." Scootaloo whispered to herself while looking through her photos.

She knew the others would get upset with her if she got them spotted by speaking too loudly. Passing the photos of the present scene, she scrolled through pictures she had taken from minutes ago showing the Riders had worked together to extinguish most of the fires. Photo by photo shows Build having changed from Sparkling to hawk and firetruck, flying up over the fire and shooting water down at the fire. Another showed Zero-One summoning out the Attache Shotgun, inserting the whale key into it, and flying over the fire as well, and fires blasts of water. Wizard changing from Flame to Water Style and begins using his weapon to use the finisher to shoot a water. OOO's inserting the whale Core Medal into his sword and starts shooting streams of water. Decade had transformed into Wizard to use Flame Style's ability to absorb fire.

"I take it those are for the school's newspaper, am I right?" She turns to find Build staring down at her with his arms crossed. "Um...Maybe." The Rider sighs shaking his head. "You're lucky today has been a long day."

"Hey, build." About to walk to his Ride Machine, the genus Rider stops to face Rainbow. "Well... Thanks again for the save."

He just turns away and waves her off. "Forget about it. The last thing this world needs is a humble Rainbow Dash."

Rainbow smiled watching him walk to his bike. While the two had spoke, Scootaloo waved Wizard over to show him the pictures, to which the two then gave each other a high-five.


Canterlot High


It's another afternoon at CHS, with the students eating their lunches in the cafeteria. It had been a few days since the battle at the steel mill. Once the school's newspaper had revealed photos of the Riders having been there, the Everfree Guardians and police had been on a wide search for the Riders. To their luck, their enemies had yet made another move. This helped stay on a low radar from the law from not having needed to take action and rest while they could.

Not everyone was there eating lunch. Only Derpy, Turner, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie, Applejack, Rarity, Fluttershy, Discord, Connor, Ressha, and Negi were seated at the usual table in the center of the cafeteria. Spike, the CMC, and Rumble sat at a different table once again. Flash and his two friends, Brawly Beats and Ringo, took Sunset and Drago to hear a song they've been working on. While Reiji had gone somewhere with Wallflower.

The only ones eating at the moment are Fluttershy and Ressha. Discord, Pinkie, and Rainbow Dash where more focused on cheering for an arm-wrestling match that Applejack and Negi were having against each other. Both seeming to be evenly matched in strength from how both struggled to overpower the other. Rarity worked on a new design sketch across from Connor who was using his cell to work on a project of his own.

Rarity halts her sketching. "Connor, I'm all for you working on your passion, but you should really allow yourself a proper break. You have been at this ever since you first got to school."

"You even did it in Mr. Cranky's class." Pinkie chimed in before mimicking said teacher. "Connor, class has begun. Connor, stop what you're doing and pay attention. Make sure to finish this surprise quiz. How on earth did you finish this all in 10 seconds?"

Connor stops what he's doing to look through his backpack that's packed full of papers and notebooks. He rustles through it for a moment before pulling out a gray notebook. Flipping through the pages, each with different invention ideas. The others stop what they're doing to see what he's planning to show them. He stops to show them a certain page from the looks of it is a single long tunnel with a dead-end, multiple mechanical rings against the walls of the tunnel and a catapult launch pad at the entrance. While the group were mostly impressed by the design specs, they all seemed confused by what it could be.

"So, what exactly is it?" Ressha asked picking up the notebook. The others scooted in to also take a look. 'If you ask me, it all just looks like nonsense./Anything complicated would be too difficult for that small brain of yours./What was that?/Maybe simplify it for him. Dogs like him can learn new tricks. They just have to be easy to learn tricks./THAT'S IT!!' Ressha groans at the headache he was beginning to get.

"With all that going on, it'd be dangerous to keep leaving from the cafe as Riders. There's also a possibility of Dark Riders searching for us. We'll need to take some measures in making sure they don't decide to attack the cafe. That's why Spike and his friends are already working on finding some place we can use as a base of operations. Then there is also the fact the Dark Riders could even make their way here if we keep showing up within the town and city. This is where the Junction Gate comes into play."

Derpy also takes a look at the notebook. "I know we talked about this yesterday, but what's it supposed to do again?" "You did? When?" Rainbow questioned. "Oh, when you all left yesterday, Connor had all the Riders stay to talk about rules we should follow."

"What kind of rules?" Fluttershy asked.

Turner leans forward on the table. "With the Dark Rider we encountered and the police now having their own Riders to try hunting us down, Connor thought some rule should be established to prevent us from being captured or taken by surprise. The first rule is that only a few of us should face the kaiju while the rest stay on standby."

"Second rule is to not ever fight the two police Rider-" "Valkyrie and Paladin." Pinkie interrupted Ressha. 'Damn it, Pinkie! Don't interrupt us!' Pinkie shows the new article on her phone. "Their Rider names were released this morning."

"Oh!" Derpy continued saying, "We are also to not ever fight Valkyrie and Paladin unless we need to."

Negi crosses his arms. "The third rule is to appear randomly at times around the world. That way if there are more Dark Riders, they'll know that we have a way to teleport around the world and won't think we're only around here."

"How yah plan ta do that?" Applejack questioned him. "I doubt Discord could teleport yah all around randomly so many times."

Connor takes back the notebook. "That's where the Junction Gate comes in. After the first time we went through the portals, my Primal Cell was set to analyze the portal the second time we went through. The Junction Gate is a catapult that will tap into the portal's frequency and mimic it so we can create our own portals that'll allow us to travel everywhere and anywhere in this world. Even to Equestria if needed. The catapult part is to give our Rider Machines a better running start for the rings of the gate to accelerate and coat us in the portal's energy. So that when hit the end of the tunnel, we'll be pulled into the portal. In theory that is."

"You mean it's only a guess?" Disappointed, Rainbow sat down herself down next to Rarity. "Maybe robot friend of yours could solve it for you."

Connor raised a brow at her. "Aside from her trying to kill us, that wouldn't work. She's not smart enough to figure any of this out." He resumes his work while continuing. "She's only half as smart as me because she's trying to be both Clara and me."

"Trying to be both of you? Why? Aren't both of you eggheads."

He shook his head at Rainbow before saying, "Not even close. Don't get me wrong, Clara was smart in her own way, but she was far from an honors student. In your terms Rainbow, you could say she was a smart version of that magician girl, Trixie."

"Your bull shitting us." Connor just answers that with a shrug. "Now that's something I'd pay to see. But for now" She reaches over, taking the notebook. "This would be so awesome! When do you think it'll be finished? And who'll get to try it out first?"

"Not any of us. It'll be the new Ride Machine's job." He answered Rainbow. "The one that's meant to travel to Equestria, will be a new Ride Machine." Which is what is on his cell's screen.


Elsewhere


Mechanical arms moved around in what looks like a hanger bay. They worked in placing and attaching parts onto a motorcycle. The hanger bay doors open for Orbital to come walking in as the machine finished the bike.

With the engine coming to life, the motorcycle suddenly starts up on its own "Seems like you'll be getting your time to shine soon." He spoke as a light shone on the bike to reveal Cross-Z's symbol on the front.
