> Kamen Rider Geats EG > by Blaze-saber > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter 1: Daybreak F: Invitation to the Rider > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The water of the ocean splash onto some rocks as snow came down well a man wearing a winter coat with a hood up stands on the edge of the beach while holding a Greek golden coin in his hand before tossing it up in the air. The moment he caught it, he had a grin on his face as a woman and a black and white dress approached him holding a yellow box with a black seal on top. The woman had black short hair and bright yellow skin as the man took off his hood and revealed that he had pure white skin with red hair with white streaks in it. "Congratulations." The woman said to the man before she held out the box to him. She then opened the box to reveal a black rectangle belt buckle with two slots on both sides and a circle on each side with one circle in the center. Next to the buckle look to be a core with a symbol of a fox head on it that is red and white. "Starting today, you are a Kamen Rider." "Yes, I'm well aware of it." The man replied to the woman with confidence before he took the buckle and core. He then place the core in the center of the buckle before the buckle made a sound and a computerized female voice spoke up from the buckle. Entry. Six months later in Equestria City, a teenage girl known as Twilight Sparkle was walking home from work as she had a long day. Not only did more equestrian magic run amok, but she had to work overtime because she was late for work. "Next time, I will just take the bus to my work instead of walking." She said to herself before sitting down at a park bench. "I'm just glad my friends came after I sent Spike to go get them." She thought to herself as she leaned back on the bench. She remembered how she let Spike out of her backpack and told her to go get the others when she remembered she forgot her phone at home. She remembered how long she had to keep the run amok magic before her friends arrived. The apologized for being late before they banded together and easily handled the situation. "And in retrospect, I probably should have asked Rainbow Dash to help me get to my job. I really wish the world was a bit more safer and at peace." She then heard her phone ring before she got it out and so she got a text from her mom. She got a text from her mom saying that her and her family will be going out for dinner tonight. Her mom explained in a text that it's for celebrating her father's promotion today and that Shining Armor has a big question he wants to ask Cadance. Twilight let out a smile on her face before she texted back that she'll meet them there. She got up and started to head out before she bumped into someone and fell to the ground. She looked up and saw Flash Sentry looking down on her when she bumped into him before he gave a warm smile. "We got to stop bumping into each other like this." He said as he helped her back on her feet. "Thanks Flash." Twilight thanked him. "And sorry for bumping into you like that, I just got a text from my mom asking me to meet her my family at this Chinese restaurant." She showed him the text and Flash was a bit surprised by the address to it. "I know that place." Flash told her. "I go there sometimes and their sesame chicken is really good. Want me to give you a lift?" "I would actually like that." She responded before they went to his car. In an unknown location surrounded with marble columns is the woman that gave the man the buckle and core from a few months ago standing in front of him along with three others. One is a man with light green skin and dark green hair, another man with dark purple skin and dark purple hair with orange streaks in it, and a woman with light blue skin and aquamarine hair with chartreuse streaks. All four of them seem to be wearing black outfits with hoodies but with different color undershirts underneath. "The final mission is approaching." The woman in the black and white outfit told the four of them. "Six months of fighting is approaching its end." Behind the woman is a hologram screen that showed many animal faces while only four of them were lit up. A purple and orange bull, a white and blue bear, a green and yellow wolf , and a red and white fox. "I wonder... which candidate will survive, and become the God of Desire?" The woman asked with a smile as she turned to the four. "The one who will change this world." Two of the men had a grin on their faces while the third one looked nervous. The woman in the middle of them had a look of determination of this. "It's time to decide its fate!" As he drove her to the Chinese restaurant, Twilight starts reflecting on how far she and her friends came after the Friendship Games. Thinking about how the girls are doing with their time after these changed, while showing concern that she notices Spike growing more distant from her lately and feels like she should look into that sometime. While she was lost in her own thoughts, Flash starts reflecting on how so much changed ever since Princess Twilight and dragon Spike first visited his world. They only came two times to only save his world from a threat. Plus, he knew it couldn't work out with Princess Twilight considering she's from another world and she's a pony in her own world. Both of them let out a sigh at the thoughts they were thinking as Flash continue to drive them to the restaurant. They soon reached their destination and got out of the car to walk to the restaurant. "Hey Twilight," Flash finally spoke. "I was just wondering what are you going to do in the future?" "I don't really know." She responded. "I guess I could go to college after high school years over and maybe get a degree. What about you, Flash, what about your future?" "Well, I do like being in a band but I've always wanted to be a police officer and you know keep everyone safe." Flash answered. "You know how a lot of people would like to change the world for the better? That's sort of what I desire sometimes." "I can relate to that." Twilight replied before they entered the restaurant. She looked around and saw her family and her old babysitter at a corner booth. "Well, I better go join my family. I'll see you around." "Yeah, see ya." Flash told her. Just when Twilight was about to go over to where her family is, a red barrier suddenly appeared in the middle of the restaurant and a big gust of wind caused the food on some of the tables to burst up before the barrier suddenly went invisible. The people in the restaurant were completely baffled about what just happened before a woman got some paper towels and tried to reach over to her children to wipe out the food that was on their faces before something blocked her. It was the barrier that caused the food to burst up into the customers' faces. The barrier itself looked like red glowing barbed wires every time they touch it. "Wh-What is this?!" Twilight asked as she beat on the barrier. Her family quickly went over and both her father and brother started to beat on the barrier as well. "What's going on?!" Shining demanded as Flash noticed what was happening and went over to Twilight. "Where did this thing come from?!" He asked before the door burst open and a bunch of odd looking creatures wearing red cloaks and holding spears and swords rushed in. These things started to attack the people in the restaurant on the side of the barrier where Twilight and Flash are. They watched how one of them knocked a waiter down before it stabbed him to death with its spear. Once these creatures came after Flash and Twilight, Flash was able to fend off these things with some martial arts moves as he kicked a few of them back before one of them pin them down with their spears. One with a sword was about to stab him before Twilight used her levitation magic to lift up a few tables and knock them back into a corner. "Twilight, you need to get out of here!" Her mother called out. "It's not safe!" "She's right, go!" Cadance shouted before Twilight looked at them, worried about when might happen if she left them before she shook her head and grab flash by the arm and pulled him out of the restaurant. "What's happening?" Back with the woman and the four 'contestants', a hologram screen appeared behind her and it showed a map of the city with a big red circle in a section of the city. "Jyamar Arena presence has been confirmed." The woman told the four. "Let the mission begin!" After she declared that, each of the four contestants put on the belt buckles and each of them extended out a belt around their waist as they each chanted two words. Desire Driver The man from six months back looked at his driver before gave a grin before he placed it on. Back in the city, people were being attacked by the same creatures that attacked the restaurant as some of them were running for their lives or being slashed by them with their spears or swords. These creatures also had strange guns as they pointed to the civilians and started shooting them. The civilians try to run away from them but the barrier kept them from getting far away from them. Flash and Twilight were doing all that they can to help the civilians get away from the creatures attacking as Flash did around housekick to a few of them while Twilight used her magic to keep some of them back. At first she thought this was some kind of magic running amok before she realized these creatures weren't using any equestrian magic, so it must be something else entirely. Both Flash and Twilight soon ran down an alley to catch their breaths and to hide from the creatures. "Okay...this is definitely not equestrian magic." Twilight said as she was panting before she got out her phone and tried to dial up her friends. "Don't bother, I already tried calling my mom and nothing was coming through." Flash told her. "Just what are these things and what do they want?" Just before either of them could say another word, two of those creatures suddenly were in front of them and they had to move quickly out of the way as they slashed at them. They both ran out of the alley before more showed up and had them cornered. Just when one of them was about to strike at Twilight, a blast suddenly came down and shot the creatures back away from them. When Flash got distracted by what happened, one of them tried to get him from behind before a figured quickly ran up and blocked it with a big blue shield. Flash looked behind him and saw a figured wearing a suit which is mostly black with a top having a shield symbol on her chest while straps were wrapped around the top part of her body. On her head was a head helmet and the shape of a wolf which is colored green and bright yellow. Twilight looked up on the roof and solid figure in the same suit as the woman but had a bear head which is white and holding a crossbow with a symbol on his chest with green straps on the top half of his body. "A... polar bear?" She asked when she saw the guy's helmet. "A wolf?" Flash asked when he saw when he saw the woman with the blue shield. He noticed that both the figures were wearing the same belt but one of them had a green arrow buckle in the slot on the right while the other had a blue shield buckle on her right of the belt. Just as strange creatures got up from the attacks, the wall behind them suddenly burst and another figure with the same belt burst through. The only difference is that the entire right side of the belt of his looked like a big zombie claw and his entire top half of his body was conovered in purple armor. They watched as this third figure had one of these creatures in his clutches when he first through the wall before he threw through it aside and used his chainsaw like sword to slash through at least five of them. This guy then kicked one of the creatures down when it tried to get back up before it was brutally beaten by him with his sword. After the creature was destroyed, the third figures stood up and charged at some more up ahead. "And a bull?! What's even happening right now?!" Flash asked and complete confusion. The man with the bull helmet then push up something on his sword like he was powering it up. Poison Charge. The chain on the chainsaw like sword then revved up as the guy slashed it at the creatures around him. Each strike was more brutal than the last as each one was struck down and the man with the bull helmet wasn't letting up. He flipped one of the creatures over his shoulders before striking two more of them. He then grabbed one of them with his left hand and gripped the creature tight before he head-butted it. Tactical Break. He then swung his sword at one more and the chains on the chainsaw like sword was damaging the creature before he flung it right up in the bridge that they are under. The man then turned and walked as the creature fell down and exploded behind him. He then approached both Flash and Twilight as they stood their ground as they don't know if he was friend or foe. They then saw the guy pull out a odd looking smartphone and pressed a button on it as it spoke up. Score up. On the screen of the phone he saw the purple bull symbol on it with numbers next to it rise up as the symbol went above the fox, the wolf, and the bear symbol. "Oh yeah, a big chunk of points." The guy in the purple bull helmet said to himself, impressed by his work. The guy with the polar bear helmet and the green crossbow then jumped down from the roof as the woman with the green wolf helmet stood next to him. "As selfish as ever." The guy with the Polar Bear helmet told the one in the bull helmet. "That's my target, you know." "Can we not have this conversation in front of the two teens who just witness all this?" The woman in the wolf helmet pointed out Flash and Twilight. Just then, more of those creatures in the red close were coming at them with swords and spears. "Great, more Wasou Jyamato." "I'm going to win this." The man in the bull helmet told the other two when they turn to these Jyamatyo. He then pushed the other two back as he charged at the Jyamatyo and slashed the first few with his sword. The other two readied their crossbow and shield before they noticed Flash and Twilight. "I'll get them to safety." The woman in the wolf helmet told the guy in the Polar Bear helmet. "You just cover are backs and keep them off us." The guy in the Polar Bear helmet nodded as he started to blast a few of the Jyamatyo as the woman went up to Flash and Twilight. "You two come with me! I know a place where you both will be safe!" The two were reluctant at first before they followed her while the guy and the Polar Bear helmet continued to blast the Jyamatyo and the guy in the bull helmet continued to slash at them. Back in the unknown location, the woman watched the contestants fight these Jyamatyo on the hologram screen. "Mr. Bull, Mr. Bear, and Ms. Wolf are working hard for points." The woman said to herself before she noticed something. "Where's the other one, I wonder?" In a large room with round couches and a bar, the man with the golden Greek coin was sitting there while he tossed up the coin. A guy in a very white suit with black skin and white hair was setting two drinks on the table. "Are you sure about this, Ace?" The man asked him. "Shouldn't you be going?" "Relax." Ace told the guy as he held up a shiny crimson red buckle with a motorcycle handle on the side. "Look. I still have my ace." The man gave a grin on his face before he bowed and walked away. Once the man left the room, Ace put down the buckle and looked at the coin. "Time to go." He then got up off of the couch and made it to where the woman was monitoring the three others. The woman stood back as Ace took the buckle and pulled back on the handle as the buckle itself spoke up. Boostriker. From the center of the place a cool red motorcycle appeared in a flash of light with a motorcycle helmet on it. Ace put on the helmet as he got on the bike and revved it up. He then drove off and both him and the bike fell off the location which is a floating island flying high above a desert before he suddenly appeared in the city and drove through the streets. The two masked figures brought both Flash and Twilight to a rooftop somewhere where their scenes to be no Jyamatyo around. "Okay, the coast is clear." The woman said before the two pressed a button on the buckles before they remove them from the drivers. Their suits and masks vanished once the buckles were removed from their drivers. "Hey, thanks for saving us." Flash told the two. "Oh yeah...I used to be a firefighter before all this." The man told them. "And I used to be a cop, so you know." The woman told them. "You are really unfortunate when that barrier came up and everything. So when we see any civilians in trouble, our bodies just move on our own and we get them to safety." "Can either of you tell us what's going on?" Twilight asked as the two of them gave an unsure looked as to what they should tell them. "Yeah, right." The man with the bull mask came in dragging his sword along the ground as he approached them. "You both did rescue them, but just for the points." "Points?" Twilight repeated. "What is this, some sort of game?!" "Please, we're not like you, Toxic." The woman told the man in the bull helmet. "Oh, but you both are." He told her as he walked past the two and took out the buckle on his driver and transformed out of the armor. "Stop acting like you both are heroes. You both are here just for the reward." They both looked away from him as Toxic let out a scoff. "I wonder where our last man is. Is he aiming for something big?" "You mean the fortress?" The man asked Toxic in shock. "That's not possible..." "Not to mention suicidal." The woman added. "Who are you guys and what is happening around here?!" Flash shouted as he wanted answers. "What are Jyamatyo and why are you guys trying to earn points for?!" Twilight demanded. "The world is coming to an end." Toxic told them when he turned to them. Both of them were completely shocked to hear what he just told them. Something then just flew over their heads and it looked ginormous. They all looked up and saw something flying through the sky with a giant Japanese Ancient Temple on its back and belly. "The fortress?!" The man asked in shock when he saw it. "This is bad!" The woman shouted before she and the man put the buckles in their drivers. Set. Just before the two could do anything else, the Slug Fortress's two tendrils shot out straight towards them just when they pressed on the buckles. The impact from the two tendrils knock them into the wall when they transformed into the armors. The others quickly rolled out of the way before both Flash and Twilight saw the two armored people were severely injured from that attack. "...crap..." The woman wheezed out as the two cores in their drivers cracked and their bodies began to fade. Mission Failed. Both Twilight and Flash were completely shocked to see the two of them just vanished before their eyes. Toxic however just looked at his phone with a with a neutral look. Players Ranking. "Good, two down." Toxic said with a smile when he saw the bear symbol and the wolf symbol fade out, leaving only his symbol and the fox symbol. "Why are you so happy?!" Flash scolded Toxic. "Those two just died, and you're happy about it?!" "I think you have other things to worry about." Toxic told him when he pointed at The Fortress before he walked away. They heard the Fortress roared as it used its tendrils to destroy a few buildings around it while it was in the air. It then unleashed a powerful beam blast at a few other buildings as well. Both Flash and Twilight were trying to keep their balance as the giant Fortress was destroying nearby buildings and they felt the aftershock. Cracks started to form on the rooftop they were standing on as Twilight was standing near the edge of the building. "Twilight!!" Flash called out as he pointed out that the part of the roof she's standing on was falling apart. She tried to reach out to him but it was too late as it broke off and she started to fall. As Twilight fell, Ace drove on his motorcycle up on the wall and quickly caught Twilight before landing safely on the ground. Flash saw the guy who saved Twilight quickly drove out of the way from the rubble falling down. "Twilight." He quickly got up and ran down to see who saved her. "Isn't it a bit too late for that?" Toxic asked when he saw Ace saved Twilight. "What is he even thinking?" He then turned to see more Jyamatyo came with spears and swords, ready to attack him. "This round is mine." He declared as he held up the zombie buckle and placed it in his driver. Set. Meanwhile, Ace soon came to a stop and both him and Twilight got off the bike before he took off his helmet. Twilight fell to her knees as she almost fell to her death before she looked up at Ace who had a confident smile on his face. "I thought I was done for..." She panted as she took a breath. "Thanks for the save..." She thanked Ace before she noticed he was wearing the same driver Toxic and the other two were wearing. Ace kneel down to look at her face to face. "No wounds, I assume?" He asked her as she gave a nod in response. "That's good to hear." "I'm just happy to be alive right now." Twilight told him. "I don't think I'll ever forget any of this." "Actually..." Ace said as he stood back up. "it'd be better that you forget. Forget everything. Forget this world." This left Twilight confused as to what he was talking about. "Twilight!!" Flash called out as he ran over to her. "Are you okay?!" "I am, thanks to this guy." Twilight answered as she pointed towards Ace. "Well... so much for that, I guess." Ace said in a disappointing tone. "I was hoping you were single." He then gave us smug grin as the two of them were confused by what he just said before he realized what he meant. "Nononononono! He's/She's not my boyfriend/girlfriend!" Both Flash and Twilight told Ace with blushes on their faces. "So you're saying I still have a chance." Ace assumed before Twilight made Flash turn away from him. "What's with this guy?" She whispered to Flash. "I've never met him, and I can tell he's already full of himself. More than Rainbow Dash and it's surprising." Flash just gave a shrug as Ace walked up to them and put his arms around their shoulders. "You can always change the world if you keep trying." Ace told the two before he padded their shoulders and walked past them. "Just what is happening around here?" Flash asked Ace. "We were told that this world is coming to an end and we want to know what that means." Ace stopped and looked at Flash. "You're right about changing the world if you try, but you're going to need help to do that. Sometimes the world moves on and life can be difficult." As he said that, he remember the times that Princess Twilight was around and he knew it can never work between him and her. Twilight can sympathize about what he was talking about as she remembered Midnight Sparkle and everything during the Friendship Games. "Hitting the jackpot is just a dream." "Just...live." Ace told him. "An average, happy life." "But look around you." Twilight told him as she gestured to the part of the city being destroyed by a massive monster in the sky and a bunch of Jyamatyo attacking innocent people. The many people that couldn't get away from them got killed as their dead bodies laid on the ground. Twilight was even thinking about her family and friends that are worried sick about her and couldn't get through the barrier. "The world is ending. Just like this." "Don't worry about that." Ace told them as he had a smile on his face. "Dinosaurs may have gone extinct, yet the world lives on." "That was millions of years ago." Flash reminded him. "Then let's end this world." Ace quickly suggested. "So we can have another try at life." "Another...?" Twilight asked. "What do you mean?" Ace just gave a smile to her question before he turned to a herd of Jyamatyo coming towards them. The Jyamatyo readied their swords and looked ready to charge and attack them. "How many of those things are there?!" Flash asked as he and Twilight backed up. Ace then pulled out a buckle with a handle and a white wheel with five bullet slots in it. They watched as Ace put the buckle into the right side of the driver with a confident smile on his face. Set. Next to Ace a hologram of words that spelled out Magnum appeared as he stood to the side and had his hand close to his face before he reached out and snap his fingers. "Henshin." He said as he spend the wheel and pull the trigger and he transformed into a black armor as a hologram robotic hand grab hold of a top half armor when a bunch of bullets came out and shot the Hologram words before placing the armor on his top half of his body and a fox helmet came down on his head. Magnum! Ready, fight! "A fox?!" Both Twilight and Flash asked in surprise when they saw Ace transform. "Get ready for the highlight of the game!" He aimed the blaster at the Jyamatyo before they charged right at him. When they were close, Geats pulled the trigger on his blaster and shot down at least five of the Jyamatyo. He then kicked another one before blasting a few more then charging in as he continued to fire at them. He fired at least two of them before he jumped one in the chest and knocked it down. He then run up and held on to a wall as he aimed his blaster at a few more of them. Magnum Shooter 40X. Geats then unleash a few blasts at three Jyamatyo before jumping down and charging at some more with spears. Geats was dodging thrusts from their spears as he was stepping back a bit before he was pinned against the wall. A Jyamatyo tried to strike him from above before he quickly knocked it out of the way before he quickly knocked away another. He then kicked a few of them back before he grabbed the spear he shoved between the railings and knocked the one above him down. He then fired at a bunch of them with his Magnum Shooter. A few Jyamatyo with rifles aim towards him and started firing at him. Geats quickly made a dash as they fired at him before he jump down some stairs and fired back at them. When he landed, a few of them had him surrounded and they were ready to strike. They spread out their arms before running around him in a circle. "Well, that's new." Geats commented when he saw them do this. "But still..." One of the Jyamatyo stopped and try to strike him from behind before he moved his head a little to the side to dodge it. "Not good enough." He blasted the one behind him before he jumped off it and went high up in the air as he pulled the small red lever on his Magnum Shooter. Bullet Charge. He then fired multiple shots at the Jyamatyo while he was still in the air before they exploded. He then land on the ground and more showed up before one of them pointed its sword at him and they charged at him from behind and from in front of him. A blaster on his left arm folded out before he blasted both ends of each side of him with the blaster on his left arm and his Magnum Shooter in his right hand. He crossed his arms and continued to fire at the Jyamatyo with multiple shots as he was spinning around. Geats then gave a powerful kick to one of them that caused a power surge that send a few of them flying back. When they all fell to the ground, they all exploded and he turned his attention to the Fortress that came around the building. "Oh, crap!" He shouted when he saw it nleashed a powerful beam blast right at him before he quickly jumped out of the way. Flash and Twilight quickly ran and saw Geats rolled on the ground before he stood his ground. "Okay then..." He said as he turned his blaster into a rifle as he flipped over the top of the barrel. Rifle. He then took aim at the Fortress before pulling the trigger and blasted off one of its tendrils. He pulled the trigger again and blasted off another one after another. He then aim at the top of its head and blasted it but there was no damage to it. "I guess it is a fortress after all." He said when he saw that last fire did no damage before he removed the Magnum buckle from his driver and pulled out the Boost buckle. "Time for you to shine, baby." He told it before he gave it a kiss through his mask and placed it into his driver. Set. He then revved up the buckle as a hologram words of 'Boost' appeared next to him and it was engulfed in flames before it became armor. A robotic hand then grab hold of the armor and it replaced the Magnum armor when it pulled it in to his top half. Boost. Ready, fight! Both Twilight and Flash were amazed how his armor was easily changed as he jumped off the building he was on and landed on the ground. The Boostriker then drove over to him before he backflips onto it and drove straight towards the Fortress. The Fortress fired a beam right at him as he drove and he managed to dodge each blast has a drove. Flash and Twilight had to be careful as the blasts were coming down as Geats drove by. They watched as he drove above a blast and into the air and straight into the Fortress's mouth. Both Flash and Twilight were shocked how he just drove right into its mouth before the Fortress let out a large burp. "I can't believe he just let it eat him..." Twilight said in shock. Toxic, AKA Kamen Rider Buffa had also witnessed this while he had a Jyamatyo in a headlock. "What are you thinking, Geats...?!" He asked as he knocked the Jyamatyo back. Flash then noticed the Fortress coming towards them before he grabbed Twilight by the arm and the two started running. They ran as fast as they could as the Fortress slammed its head into the ground causing a large tremor that caused the two to fall down. The two of them then heard The Fortress like monster let out a screech of pain and wonder what's causing it to do that. From inside the temple on its back, Geats drove through the doors as he was dealing a lot of damage from the inside out. "Just like the ones in the past, the easiest way to bring down a castle is from the inside." He said to himself as he continued to drive through inside the Fortress and continued to damage it. He then thrusted his arm back as a burst of flames came out of the motorcycle pipes on his forearm, causing him to go faster and delivering more damage with inside the Fortress. The Fortress continued to let out screeches of pain as Twilight and Flash saw explosions happening on top of it. They then saw Geats drove out of the temple and passed them before he came to a halt on his bike. He then flipped off his bike and landed safely on the ground as he saw the damage he did to the Fortress. He then took out the Magnum buckle and placed it in the second slot on the left side of the driver. Set. As magnum spelled out in a hologram next to his legs, he revved up the Boost Buckle again before he turned the wheel on the Magnum buckle and pulled the trigger. A bunch of bullets hit the words again and white armor appeared before a robotic arm attached it to his legs, creating a new form. Dual, On! Get ready for: Boost and Magnum! "Let's do this." Geats said before he pressed up on his driver and rotated around so the Magnum Buckle is on the right side while the Boost Buckle is on the left side. Revolve On. A hologram Circle then form around him as his body was lifted up in the air and the helmet on his head was lifted up as his body rotated around. The Magnum part of his armor became the top half as the Boost part became the bottom part before the helmet was reattached. Flash and Twilight were shocked by how his form changed like that before Geats spun the wheel on the Magnum Buckle before he pulled the trigger then revving up the Boost Buckles as he looked ready for a final attack. Boost Time! The motorcycle pipes on his legs then flared up as he jumped high up in the air before his Boostriker transformed into a robotic fox. The Boostriker fox then ran up into the air on flames till both it and Geats were so high up in the air that the Fortress was in clear shot. Geats landed on the Boostriker before he revved up the Boost Buckle on his driver. Magnum Boost Grand Victory! The Boostriker then charged at The Fortress at high speed as both it and Geats were engulfed in flames. Geats then emerged from the flames as he was delivering a powerful Rider Kick straight towards the Fortress as the Boostriker merged with him and a symbol of his mask appeared when he extended his leg out for the kick. Geats kicked straight through the temple and came out under the Fortress underside before it exploded when he landed on the ground. Flash and Twilight saw the Fortress exploding from that Rider Kick before they turn to Geats who landed not too far from them. Buffa looked at his phone when he saw the fortress getting destroyed by Geats and saw Geats' score skyrocketed when he did. Mission Clear. Buffa let out a growl when he saw that he did not win but Geats did. "Protecting the easy is the only condition for winning this round..." The woman said to a man in a mask and cloak when he saw Geats destroy the Fortress and his score skyrocketed. "But he went the extra mile and defeated the final boss!" "Ace Luck..." The man in the mask whispered when he saw Geats won. "We have our new God of Desire!" The woman declared as fireworks went off. "Yay!!" Back in the city, Geats was walking away as Twilight and Flash were trying to catch up to him. "Just wait a minute!" Twilight called out to him, causing him to stop. "Just tell us...who are you?" Flash asked Geats. "Geats." He answered before he turned to them. "Kamen Rider Geats." "Geats?" Both Flash and Twilight repeated before they walked closer to him. "Wait, hold on!" Geats warned them, causing them to stop before he turned his hips. The Boost Buckle then shot out from his driver and flew around them before it flew away. He then removed the Magnum buckle and he transformed back to Ace. "Later." He waved them off before he began to walk away. "Wait!" Flash called out. "What was all that?! What was happening before?!" "Yeah, you can at least tell us that much!" Twilight added before Ace stopped. "A game." He told the two, which just confused them. "A game to rewrite the world." Before they could ask anything else, the two of them heard allowed bell ring that caused them to cover their ears. "And so it begins." Ace said when he turned to them. "The new world." Flash and Twilight then saw the rubble of the destroyed buildings started to glow blue before they began to lift up into the air. They then saw the destroyed buildings being repaired as the bells continue to ring. Neither of them could believe their eyes as to what they were seeing and thought this was all just a dream. Flash then suddenly woke up in his bedroom and was drenched in sweat. He wondered what happened and thought about what happened to the city. After a quick shower and getting his clothes on, he got into his car and drove to the part of the city that was attacked, only to see it still intact. He looked around and saw the people who got killed by those strange creatures were alive and well. Flash wasn't the only one as Twilight asked her parents when it just happened and neither of them understood what she meant. She called both her brother and Cadance and neither of them knew what she was talking about either. Both her and Flash started to wonder if it was all just a bad dream they had. Twilight decided to call her phone and tell them to meet her at Sugarcube Corner before she called Flash to do the same. "And that's when I suddenly woke up in my bedroom and found everyone still alive and the city still in one piece." Flash finish explaining to the Rainbooms at Sugarcube Corner. "Same with me." Twilight added before she turned to Sunset. "What do you think it could mean?" "I'm not really sure to be honest." Sunset admitted as she leaned back in her chair. "Those monsters you just described sounds like nothing I've heard about in Equestria." "Maybe you both just had some bad pizza or something if you both had a bad dream." Rainbow Dash assumed before she took a sip of her milkshake. "At the same time? I don't think so, Rainbow." Applejack told her. "Um, who are they?" Fluttershy asked as Flash and Twilight was approached by two women wearing black and white clothing while both their skins were yellow and they had black hair. Both women were holding a yellow box with a black top on it. "Congratulations." Both women said at the same time to Flash and Twilight as they held out the boxes to them. "Did you two win a sweepstakes or something?" Pinkie Pie asked excitedly before she looked at the two women. "And are you two twins?" Neither of them acknowledged Pinkie Pie and only focused their attention on Twilight and Flash. "After careful considerations, we have decided to choose you for our next members." They told them in unison. "Congratulations, starting today you are a Kamen Rider!" It wasn't just happening with Flash and Twilight as the same woman was all over the world presenting the same box and saying the same thing to other people. She even did so with Sonata Dusk in front of the Dazzlings. "A 'Kamen Rider', what's that?" Rarity asked as the tune exact same women placed the boxes on the table in front of Flash and Twilight. They then opened the boxes to reveal two Desired Drivers and two cores with animal heads on them in different colors. One look to be a wolf that is light pink and dark purple while the other was blue with golden yellow in the shape of a lion. Flash and Twilight were reluctant at first as they reached out to the cores. The moment they touched the two cores, both sparked up and a flooded memories of what happened came back to them. "Hey, are you two okay?" Sunset asked the two when she and the girls noticed worried looks on their faces when they touched the course. "It wasn't a dream..." Twilight remarked with shock. "It was all real..." Flash added. On top of a roof of a tall building stood Ace holding his golden Greek coin as he looked out onto the city. Ace was wearing a black suit and tie as if he had gone to a celebration or something. "Welcome..." Ace said when he looked at the coin. "To my world." He then tossed up the coin into the air a few times as he had a grin on his face. The moment you receive a Desire Driver and an ID Core, it's a one-way trip. There is no turning back now for those who have been selected for a new game to begin. The only question is: 'what sort of game that flash and Twilight have been selected to play to be Kamen Riders in?' > Chapter 2: Encounter I: Treasure Hunting and Thievery > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sunset is holding on to Twilight's arm as she was using her magic to look into her memories in their school's music room before class. After that encounter with the strange girl who gave both Twilight and Flash their Desire Drivers the other day, the two of them suddenly remembered everything that happened the other day when they touched the ID Cores. Sunset's eyes return to normal when she was done and had a look of shock on her face. "Whoa, you both really went through all of that?" She asked both Flash and Twilight. "We were just as shocked as you are when we experienced it." Flash told her as Twilight picked up and looked over her driver. "It felt like it was going to be the end of the world before those people in animal masks came out of nowhere and saved both me and Twilight." "Especially the guy in the fox mask." Twilight spoke up as she remembers what Ace told them. "He told us something about a game to rewrite the world when all those buildings were repairing themselves. Do you think after he defeated that giant monster, he won this game and fixed everything?" "What kind of a game that has the power to recreate the world?" Rainbow asked as she leaned forward in her chair. "What if the world was already recreated and we didn't even know it?!" Pinkie asked after she let out a loud gasp. "Come on Pinkie, that seems really ridiculous." Applejack told her as she rolled her eyes. "Actually, Pinkie might have a point." Twilight said surprising everyone but Flash. "I mean, me and Flash just remembered what happened when we touch these cores. And it makes you wonder if something like this ever happened before." They all remained quiet as they thought it over before Rarity let out a excited squeal that frightened the others. "Why did you do that?!" Flash asked her as they saw her looking at her phone. "I just got a news update and Ace Luck is in town!" Rarity answered with so much excitement. "Who's Ace Luck?" Fluttershy asked with curiosity before she showed her phone screen to them. She showed them a picture of a magazine cover with Ace Luck in the front. "Ace is a true star among stars!" Rarity explained as she used her hand to fan herself. "He's a model, an action movie star, and very very handsome! He is the total package!" Flash kind of rolled his eyes at this before he double-take and got another look at Ace. "Wait, that's him!" Flash exclaimed as he pointed at the photo. "That's the guy with the fox helmet that saved Twilight and destroyed that flying fortress thing. What did he call himself again? Kamen Rider...?" "Geats!" Twilight quickly added. "And you're right Flash, that is him." They all heard the bell ring and they knew they had to get to class. Meanwhile, a bunch of fangirls gathered in front of a hotel as a limousine drove up. The door was open by a chauffeur and Ace stepped out before he walked into the place. A few officers were keeping the fangirls back as he walked into the building before he stopped smiled he heard one of them shout 'he's so handsome.' "I'm well aware of it." He said to himself in a smug tone before he sees the girls who gave Flash and Twilight, along with many other people around the world the Desire Driver. "Congratulations, starting today you..." She said before Ace walked up to her and placed a finger on her lips. "That, I'm also aware." He told her with a small smile. They soon went up to the hotel room he is staying in as he sat in a chair while drinking tea. "You won, and remade the world to your desire." She told him as she stat in front of him while holding a piece of paper that is stamped 'done' on 'A world where I am a world-class superstar.' "And yet, you don't look so happy?" "Oh, I'm plenty happy." Ace told her. "In this world, everyone fawn on me, the star of the stars of the stars. I even scored a date with you, Fine China, though you're not fawning at all." "What are you trying to say?" China asked. "Surely you know there are limits to what can be changed?" Ace ask in response which caused her to giggle a little. China stood up and picked up the small yellow box before walking over to him. "I seen your testing the rules." She said as she opened the box and placed it in front of him so he can see his Desire Driver and ID Core. "In this game..." Ace spoke up with a smile on his face as he picked up his driver. "The victor can rewrite the world however he or she wants." Back at CHS, both Flash and the Rainbooms are in the computer lab as him and Twilight were looking at a card from the same box their drivers were in. "So anything about this 'The Desire Grand Prix'?" Twilight asked as they were each looking up any info on it. "There's nothing about it." Sunset answered. "It's like this isn't even a real thing or something." "GAH! And there's nothing on those belt buckles at all!" Rainbow complained. "I searched it up and all I got was toys." "Why we be given belt buckles without belt straps?" Flash asked as hold up his driver. "It must be a joke, right...?" "I'm just as confused as you are." Twilight said as she looked over hers. Flash grew curious before he placed the driver on the front of him. The moment he placed it there, a belt extended out from both sides of the driver and wrapped around him. Desire Driver. Him and the girls jumped a bit when the belt suddenly appeared around his waist. When Twilight saw this, she then placed the belt buckle on her front so that the belt extended around her waist as well. Desire Driver. "Well, this is certainly a surprise." Rarity said as she walked around the two and inspected both belts. "But I must say, those belts do not suit either of you well." "Why don't you try adding these to them?" Pinkie suggested as she picked up the two ID Cores. "I'm not so sure about this." Applejack spoke up as Flash took the core that is dark blue and with a golden lion on the front while Twilight took the core that is dark purple with a light pink wolf on the front. "We don't know anything about them things or this 'Grand Prix.'" "Then again, it could be nothing." Rainbow assumed as both Flash and Twilight placed both cores in the center slot of the drivers. But the moment they pushed them in, both ID Cores glowed bright. Entry. The girls covered their eyes when a bright light suddenly covered both Flash and Twilight. When the light died down, they saw that both of them have vanished. "Or not..." Rainbow said with wide eyes. Flash and Twilight had their eyes covered when the light covered them. When they opened them they found themselves no longer at their school in the computer lab, but on a floating island surrounded by pillars that is very high up in the air when they looked down. "WHAT THE FUDGE?!?!" They both shouted in shock at this before they fell back. When they got up, they saw that they weren't the only ones as a few people were also transported to this floating island as well. One of these people is Sonata Dusk who looked just as confused as these other people. "What is this place?!" Flash asked as they looked around the place. They can tell by the clothes some of the people are wearing, these people are from around the world. "Flash? Twilight?" A familiar boy teen voice called out before they turn to see both their friends Micro Chip and Wallflower Blush here and with their own Desire Drivers. The ID Core in Micro's driver is green with a raccoon on the front while Wallflower's is lime green with a bird on the front. "You both are here too?" Wallflower asked when they walked up to both Flash and Twilight. "Look, it's Ace! The real Ace!" A girl shouted as both her and her friend squealed when they saw Ace. Ace himself looked around at the crowd of people that have arrived as Flash and Twilight saw him. "He's here too...?" Twilight asked before she saw Toxic in a corner with his arms crossed. "Even that guy?" "You know them?" Wallflower asked in surprise. "Good day, everyone!" China spoke up as she stood in the middle of the crowd in the center on top of a small pedestal that suddenly appeared. "My name is Fine China, and I will be your navigator. I bid you welcome... to Desire Grand Prix!" The crowd talked amongst each other when they realized where they were before she continued. "Our world is currently facing the threat of Jyamato." "What are Jyamato?" Micro whispered to Flash. "Really bad news." Flash answered as Twilight nodded in agreement before a few images of the Jyamato was shown on hologram screens. "We have yet to determine where they came from, or what their goals are." China continued to explain. "And so, to protect our world, the Desire Grand Prix is invented!" Everyone remained quiet as most of them still had no idea what this meant. "I can see that you are confused as you are shocked. It is only natural you never heard of it. The game is designed so that all your memories are erased after each game. This way, you can live peacefully without even knowing. Getting your hands on a ID Core is the only way to recover your memory." "That's why no one remembered what happened..." Twilight whispered to Flash, Wallflower, and Micro as she looked at her driver. "All of you will transform into Kamen Riders and fight the Jyamato menace." China told all of them. "The one to survive, the victor, will be crowned as God of Desire. They will be granted the power to change the world as they see fit." "Change the world..." Flash repeated as him and Twilight remembered those with the same words that Ace told them before. Other people around them had smiles on their faces as they were interested into what China just told them. "To put it simply, all your wishes will be granted." China continued to explain. "So, I implore you. Before you is a Desire Card. Please write down your desire in it." The people were confused by this as they didn't see any cards before they looked down and they were suddenly holding large black and white cards with a blank parchment on the back in one hand while holding a feathered pen in the other. Micro, Wallflower, Flash, and Twilight looked at these items as they thought about what they desire. Both Wallflower and Micro already knew what they wanted as they started to write down what they desire. Other people began to write down what they desire, including Sonata who looked a little excited for it. Both Flash and Twilight thought about it before they came up what they desire. They both smiled as they wrote down what they wanted the most. A large barrier like one before covered a large area in the forest as the people were transported there and placed in the center of it with black hoodie like vests while also wearing colored shirts underneath with black pants. "May the Desire Grand Prix begin!" China's voice was heard as they all looked around the area. "For the first round, your mission will be... A treasure hunt! You must reclaim treasures stolen by the Jyamato. Inside our items for your taking. " Flash is with Micro in one part of the area while Twilight is with Wallflower in another. They spotted the Jyamato coming towards them with swords in hand. Some of the people ran away when they started swinging their swords at them while others fought back. Sonata was picking up and throwing rocks at some of them as a guy with hot pink skin and red hair was helping her. Ace was on his own as he was dodging swings from one of them before he kick it back and it dropped something when it fell to the ground. It was a pink box with a question mark on the center of the black lid. When this Jyamato quickly got up and ran away, Ace smirked as he picked up the box. "And here's the loot." He said to himself before he opened the lid to find a buckle with a light blue water faucet on it. "Water, huh?" He took the buckle out of the box before he saw more Jyamato up ahead. "Let's take it for a spin." He then took the buckle and place it into the right slot of his driver. Set. Holographic words that spell out water appeared on his right side as he turned and extended his arm out before he snapped his fingers. "Henshin." He said before he turned the faucet on the buckle before he transformed into the black armor and a stream of water hit the holographic words. Soon armor with the water faucet was placed on the top half of him as his fox helmet appeared on his head and a light blue pipe like gun appeared in his hand. Armed Water. Ready, fight! Geats took the weapon in his hand and blasted the two Jyamato with a spray of water which barely did anything. "Wait, that's it?!" He asked in shock as one of them charged at him before he bonked it away with the weapon. "I think this might be better." He then charged at the two and swing the pipe like a bat to attack them. From a distance, Toxic watched Geats fight off the two Jyamato as he had a neutral look on his face. "A pipe, coming right up!" "Enjoy it while it lasts, Geats." Toxic said as he watched as two Jyamato approached him. He dodged an attack from one of them before he blocked another and punched it back. He then jumped kick the other and it dropped the same box that Ace got before. Micro was running away from a few as if he was leaving them somewhere before he spotted Flash holding a large branch. "Now!" He called out as he ran past Flash and he used the branch to knock down the Jyamato that chased Micro. Two of them dropped two item boxes when they fell before they quickly got up and ran away. "Nice swing...Flash..." Micro puffed as he's a bit out of breath from the running. "Thanks. But he was your idea to let them chase you." Flash told him before they went to pick up the two item boxes. Micro opened his and found a green crossbow buckle inside while flash found the Boost Buckle in his. "This is..." The both of them then heard screaming coming from nearby before they saw Wallflower and Twilight running from a bunch of Jyamato. They watched as Twilight use her levitation magic to knock a few away but none of them dropped any item boxes. "We are having the worst luck right now!" She complained as they continue to run. "I said I wanted to be seen, but not like this!" Wallflower shouted as they continue to run. Flash wanted to help as he was prepared to insert the Boost Buckle into his driver before they heard a voice called out. "Get down!" Both girls duck as a branch swung out and knocked down three Jyamato that came close to them. As the three fell, one of them dropped an item box before a middle-aged man with navy blue skin and gray hair with blue streaks jumped down from a tree to knock more away. He punched two down and they fell next to Twilight and Wallflower as two item boxes fell out of them. The man then kicked another one to the ground as it dropped an item box as well. "Twilight, Wallflower, are both okay?!" Flash asked when he and Micro ran over to them as the Jyamato got up and ran away. "Yeah, we're fine..." Twilight answered as the two boys helped her and Wallflower up. "Those things are so relentless." Wallflower commented before she saw the two item boxes. "At least we finally got those item boxes." Wallflower picked up the one next to her and open it up to find a dark blue shield buckle inside. Twilight picked up hers and she found the Magnum Buckle inside when she opened it. "So these buckles are the treasure we are supposed to find?" Micro asked as he adjusted his glasses. Twilight then turned to the man who saved her and Wallflower before her eyes went wide as she recognized who he is. "Mr. Eclipse?" She said getting his attention. "Twilight?" He responded. "You two know each other?" Wallflower asked. "He's my dad's boss." Twilight explained. The group later sat down by a river so that they may talk. "Why are you participating in the Desire Grand Prix, Mr. Eclipse?" "Well, what about you four teens?" Eclipse asked as he stood up to stretch. "Well I'm in this to help my brother." Micro answered. "You see, he's a scientist and there was a bit of an accident. He went to see his friend and turns out there was a murder in the apartment his friend lived in. He was framed for it when the police found him trying to blood on his hands but he was only trying to see he can help the victim." They can hear the hurt the pain in his voice when they heard about this on the news. "I'm in this to help him get bailed." "We're sorry to hear that." Flash said to his friend as he patted his back. "I'm in this to get world peace." "So am I." Twilight told him as they were both surprised they wanted the same thing. China was looking over the desire cards the players wrote down on as she picked up both Twilight's and Flash's cards while she had a warm smile on her face. She seems that both of them had wrote down that they want world peace. "What grand wishes." She said to herself in a pleasant tone. "You know Twilight, your father said the same thing when he interviewed for a job." Eclipse told her. "It's something everyone in the world would love to have." Wallflower commented. "If everyone's happy, then you're happy." "I think those are wonderful wishes." Eclipse told them. "But I have my own." They then saw him pull out a small photo of himself and a young boy with bright yellow skin and dark blue hair. "My son is sick, and there's nothing I can do to save him. After work, I always visit him in the hospital with my wife and it feels like he gets worse by the day. I think this is my chance. For better world, a world where he can stay healthy." "Mr. Eclipse, we are so sorry to hear that about your son." Wallflower said in a sympathetic tone. "What about you, Wildflower?" Twilight spoke up. "When do you want out of all this?" Wildflower remained silent as she didn't know how to tell them what you want before a man in a white suit walked up to them. "Congratulations for winning an item." He spoke up and got their attention. "This way, please." They looked at each other when he asked them to follow him before they descended to do so. They followed him to a large lounge area where other players are. "This is where participants can rest between rounds." He told them as they entered. "You can use it free of charge." He then left the room to let them socialize with the players that arrived before them. "Wow, this game really has everything." Micro commented as he and Wallflower walked over to a bar. Eclipse took a seat on the steps before Flash and Twilight noticed Sonata sitting on the couch and having a taco. "Sonata, you're in this too?" Flash asked when they walked over to her. "Don't tell me the other Dazzlings are here too." "No it's just me." Sonata told him before she noticed Twilight. "Hey, when did you start wearing glasses?" "Oh, you must be thinking about Princess Twilight." Twilight told Sonata. "I am actually from this world." They then noticed the guy who helped her sitting on the back of the couch and Toxic sitting in the other couch. "Whatever it is you're talking about, I don't care." Toxic spoke up as he recognized both Twilight and Flash. "I just can't believe that the two of you actually made it this far." "Wait... you're that bull from before." Flash said as recognize Toxic when the city was under attack. "Call me Kamen Rider Buffa." Toxic told him before he took out a bulky iPhone. "And you are..." He opened an app on his phone and read something on it. "Leo, Lobo, and Na-go." "Oh yeah, we're also giving Rider names." Twilight said as pulled out the same phone except with her Rider symbol above the screen. She pressed a app with the initials 'D.G.P.' on it and saw a list of their names and Rider names. "My Rider name is Tycoon." Micro told them as he was looking at his own phone. "I'm called Zoi." Wildflower said when she found hers. "And his name is Toxic Wave." Flash said when he found Toxic's info. "Whatever, you scrubs won't last long anyway." Toxic told them in a neutral tone. "Did he just call us scrubs?" Sonata asked as she was insulted by that just when Ace entered. "I wouldn't be so sure." He spoke up getting everyone's attention. "You never know what's going to happen in the Desire Grand Prix." He took a seat at the bar just as Flash and Twilight came up to him. "Hey, thanks for saving us back then." Flash told Ace. "Don't mind it, it's nothing." Ace told the two. "I had to win it anyway." "So you four know each other?" Wallflower asked with a raised brow. "It's a long story." Twilight told her as Toxic stood up. "Took you long enough, Geats." He spoke up. "Found anything?" "Me?" Ace asked before he pulled out the water buckle he found and a shield buckle. "Got myself a faucet and a shield." This caused Toxic to scoffed with a smile. "So a pair of useless trash." He said with amused in his tone as he held up his Zombie Buckle. "Useless?" The guy who helped Sonata before repeated as he looked at his own Shield buckle. "How are they useless?" Sonata asked as she pulled out a pink buckle with a hammer on the front. "Seems like those two got what you wanted." Toxic told Ace as he looked over to Twilight and Flash who are holding the Boost and the Magnum buckles. A guy with light gray skin and dark gray hair with black streaks looked over with a raised brow as he held a green crossbow buckle himself. "Hey, uh do one of you want to trade with me?" The guy with the shield Buckle asked both Twilight and Flash. "Do you both a favor and don't do it." The guy with the light gray skin told them. "Because no one else would." "Hey, we don't know if those kinds of buckles are useless or not." Flash assured the guy with the pink skin. "Beside, we just started and like he said, we don't know what will happen during this game." Toxic walked up to Ace with a smirk still on his face. "I think you're finally out of luck." He told Ace, but Ace just scoffed at that. "You sure about that?" Ace asked. "In this area, any act of violence or sabotage are strictly forbidden." The guy in the white suit told them when he walked in and walked up to Toxic. "Any violations will be met with a swift disqualification, so please be careful." "Sure." Ace replied as he stood up and walked past Toxic. A phone on the counter then started to ring before the guy in the white suit picked up and answered it. Ace looked over to Twilight and Flash as he smirked when he walked past them. "I understand." The guy in the white suit told whoever was on the other end of the call before he hanged up. "My dear participants..." He said when he turned to the group. "We have an emergency!" The ten participants soon joined China on the floating island as a holographic screen was lit up. "The boss of the Bandit Jyamato you defeated showed up." She told them. "This marks the end of the treasure hunt. Players who failed to obtain an item are disqualified." The holographic screen then only showed the ten players who have obtain items as others faded out. "Only ten remains." Toxic said when they saw who's left. "Your next objective is to defeat all Jyamato." China continued to tell them. "Use the items you obtained wisely. Survivors will make it to the next round." The holographic screen then pulled up the mission name underneath urgent mission. Urgent Mission: Defeat all Jyamatos. "Wait, what do you mean by survivors?" Wallflower asked in concern by it. "In this game, your life is on the line." China explained. "You never told us that!" Eclipse pointed out as the others except for Ace, Toxic, and the man with a gray skin looked shocked about this. "I-It'll be fine!" Twilight spoke up, sounding a bit nervous. "I mean, the last game people died but when it was over they came back!" "Things work differently for us." Ace told her. "What do you mean?" Flash asked him before he realized what he meant. "Are you saying if we die here, we won't come back?" "Well then, let the mission begin!" China declared before she struck the Kamen Rider Ichigo henshin pose. "Henshin!" This confused the others before a computerized voice spoke up. Entry. The group was then transported to the forest area before each of their drivers glowed and they were transformed into full body black suits. China's voice Was Heard as each of them had a helmet of the animal that is on their ID Core was placed on their head. "Here we have Kamen Rider Mary, Na-go, Tycoon, Buffa, Da-paan, Ginpen, Zoi, Lobo, Leo, and Geats!" Once their transformation was complete, they looked over themselves and were amazed by their new look. Leo's lion helmet is like his ID core, it was gold with dark blue outlines and he had a golden cuffs with a thin blue line on them on his wrist. Lobo has a dark purple wolf helmet with pink streaks on it and she had a pink strap on her left arm. Zoi's helmet looks like a bird that is lime green with a dark green line on the center of its head well she had a scarf around her neck that look like bird wings. "Whoa, we transformed!" Na-go exclaimed as she looked herself over. "Sonata, you're a cat!" Leo told her when he noticed her helmet. "And he's a raccoon, she's a wolf, and she's a bird?" She said as she pointed at Tycoon, Lobo, and Zoi. "And you're a lion?" "How did they even make this possible?" Tycoon asked as he is fascinated by this. "I wonder that too!" Lobo said. "Uh, I think we have bigger problems to deal with." Zoi told them as she spotted a few Jyamato in front of them and the Toryo Jyamato with them. Buffa was the first one out of the group to charge at them before Geats and Da-paan follow suit. "I say we stick and work together on this!" Mary suggested as he sounded a bit scared about this. "Let's do it!" Na-go said as she, Tycoon, Mary, and Zoi took out their buckles and place them on the right side of the drivers. Set. Once the holographic words of each buckle appeared next to them, they activated their buckles by pressing down on them. Armed Hammer. Armed Shield. Armed Arrow. Ready, Fight! Tycoon held a crossbow in his hand as green armor appeared on his chest while both Zoi and Mary had dark blue armor appear on their chest while they held a shield in their hands. Na-go had pink armor on the top while she hold a pink hammer in her hand. "Let's go!" Na-go shouted before she and Mary charged in. "What happened to sticking and working together?" Zoi asked when they charged ahead without her or the others. Ginpen took out his Arrow Buckle and felt the need to win rise up. "I have to win... no matter what!" He said to himself before he inserted the Buckle into his driver before he pulled the end of it to activate it. Set. Armed Arrow. Ready, Fight! With the armed Arrow armor now equipped, Ginpen charged in and joined the fight. He took aim with the bow and fired glowing green arrows straight at the enemy. Da-paan place his Arrow Buckle in his driver before he activated and was now equipped with the armed Arrow armor. Buffa had one pinned down to the ground with his foot as he took his Zombie Buckle and placed it in his driver. Set. Holographic words that spell out zombie appeared on his right side before he flipped the switch and it popped open so that a zombie claw flipped up. The holographic words burst into acid and damaged the Jyamato he had pinned down as they turned into armor and a robotic hand attached it to Buffa. Zombie. Ready, Fight! With the zombie armor now equipped, Buffa ready the chainsaw like sword to do some damage as Da-paan fired at a few more. Buffa one his sword at each one he came across, showing no signs of restraint at them. "What a bunch of losers." Buffa said when he saw Buffa push one back. Meanwhile, Leo and Tycoon were fending off a few of them as Leo punched a few back while fired a few arrows at the Jyamato. Lobo is helping Zoi push the enemy back with her shield as they are pushing a few of them against a tree before they batted them with it. Lobo saw a few more coming their way, so she extending her hands out to try to use her magic but nothing happened. Leo saw her duck under a few of their attacks before he quickly ran over and kicked one of them down. Zoi used her shield to block their attacks before Tycoon fired a few arrows at them. "Are you okay, Twilight?" Leo asked as they took cover behind a tree. "Yeah, but it looks like I can't use my magic while in this suit." Lobo told him as she looked at her hands. "What I don't understand is why they're okay with this..." Zoi spoke up as they saw Ginpen fought off a few Jyamato. "I'm with her..." Tycoon spoke up. "If we lose, we'll die. That's just ridiculous!" Leo then spotted Geats in the water armor batting away a few Jyamato with the light blue pipe is hand. Geats overheard there little conflict about all this before he batted away another. Ginpen knocked away a few before he fired a few arrows at others. Before he can attack another, the Toryo Jyamato came up from behind and swung its ax at him. He was sent flying past the others as he dropped his photo of himself and his son. The Toryo Jyamato knocked him down when he tried to get back up before he used his bow and arrow to try to shoot at a few Jyamato before the Toryo kicked him again. Lobo picked up his photo and recognized it. "This is..." She said before they saw Ginpen tuck and rolled before firing a few shots at the Toryo but it used its ax to block those shots. It slowly walked towards him before it was close enough to swing its axes at him a few times before it sent Ginpen flying back and skid the ground as a huge amount of damage was brought down on him as he came to a stop when he hit a tree. "I can't lose... not here...!" Ginpen shouted as he struggled to get up. Lobo and the other three saw how determined he is to win before they looked at the photo. "A wish... worth losing your life..." Leo whispered as they thought it over. They then heard Ginpen grunt as the Toryo knock him down before it raised up its axes and through one of them at him. The ax it through landed in front of him before it glowed and exploded. The explosion sent him flying and dealt a huge amount of damage as he transformed back to Eclipse when he hit the ground. "Mr. Eclipse!!" Lobo called out before she and the others ran over to him. They found him laying next to the river and doesn't look so good as the other four transformed out of their Rider forms. "Are you okay?" Twilight asked as Flash carefully lifted him up. They saw a few small red sparks emitting from his driver before they saw his ID Core cracked. "Guess this means the end of me..." Eclipse wheezed out. "I failed him, and now I must leave him behind... I don't deserve to be a father..." "Was there..." Flash spoke up as Twilight gave Eclipse the photo back. "Was there no other way?" Eclipse lift up his arm as to grab hold of the photo. "I just wished... to save him." He told them as tears ran down his cheek while his body began to fade away. All that was left is the armed arrow buckle as all for them were in shock that he vanished before their eyes. Twilight picked up the buckle as she can't believe what they just witness. China was holding a tablet as the image with Eclipse on it faded out before the word lose appeared on it. Mission failed. "How unfortunate." She said in a sad tone. Back in the field, Twilight picked up the photo that was in the water as she looked at it with a sad look. Both her and Wallflower couldn't help but shed tears as he was trying to save his sick son just when Geats walked up to them. "Unless you fight, the world will not change." He told them in a sympathetic tone before he took out the Buckle from his driver and transformed back to Ace. "That's all there is. That's the only choice." "Why... why are you fighting?" Micro asked Ace. "I want to help unfortunate children around the world." Ace answered. Each of them looked at Ace before he continued. "They are the ones who will make the future." "So just like me and Twi, you wish for a peaceful world." Flash spoke up and assumed before they heard a big splash in the river. They turned to see the Toryo approach them and ready to destroy them. "If you want to change the world, then fight." Ace told them as he placed the water Buckle back in the driver. Set. They quickly stood back when holographic words of the buckle appeared next to him before he extended out his hand and snapped his fingers. "Henshin." Ace said before he activated the Buckle and the armed water was equipped when he transformed back into Geats. Armed Water. Ready, Fight! Geats charged at the Toryo before the two clashed weapons together. The Toryo knocked him back as they fought in the river. Geats jumped when it tried to attack his legs before he bumped it on the head with the pipe. He then blocked each attack from it with the pipe before being stumbled back by it. After he stepped back a few feet from it, Geats turned the faucet on the pipe before aiming towards the Toryo. A tube then extended from behind the pipe to soak up some of the water from the river before blasting the Toryo with a powerful spray of water to send it flying back. After it rolled on the ground, Geats charged forward and clashed weapons with it. Flash, Twilight, Micro, and Wallflower raced over and saw Geats fight against the Jyamato. "To change the world..." Flash started as he took out the Boost buckle. "We must fight...!" Twilight finished as she brought out the Magnum buckle. They looked at Micro and Wallflower who looked as determined as they did when they readied their buckles. Each of them then placed their Buckles in their drivers as holographic words of each buckle appeared next to them. Set. Flash cracked his knuckles as Twilight pushed up her glasses before flipping her hair. Wallflower took a deep breath before she did small jumps in place as Micro took off his glasses. "Henshin!" All four of them shouted in unison as they took battle stance before they activated each other buckles. Flash revved up the Boost buckle before he transformed back into Leo when the helmet equipped onto his head and the Boost armor was equipped onto him as a robotic arm put it on him. Twilight spun the barrel on the Magnum buckle before pulling the trigger to equip the Magnum armor on as she transformed back into Lobo. Micro and Wallflower transformed back into Tycoon and Zoi as the armed arrow and armed shield was equipped on to them. Armed Arrow. Armed Shield. Boost. Magnum. Ready, Fight! Lobo ready the Magnum Shooter before she and Tycoon fired a barrage of arrows and Laser bullets at the Toryo when it had Geats pinned to a tree. Leo and Zoi then charged in before throwing a punch straight at it to knock get back a few feet. "What do we say to working together?" Leo asked as he held up his hand before Geats took it and nodded in agreement to his offer. "Get ready for the highlight of the game!" Geats declared. "This game is about to go up to eleven!" Leo declared before they charged in and attacked the Toryo all together. As the Toryo swung its ax at them, Zoi used her shield to block the attack before both Leo and Geats delivered a blow straight to its chest. The pipes on the boost armor unleashed flames to deliver a more powerful punch to the before both Tycoon and Lobo jumped over the others to fire multiple blasts towards it. Geats through the pipe at a tree just as both Lobo and Leo charged forward so he can deliver a powerful punch and she got close enough to fire a bigger blast to send it flying back towards the pipe. Geats quickly pulled the trigger on the pipe to blast it with water to send it flying at Zoi so she could use her shield to send it flying in the air. Tycoon continue to fire multiple arrows right at it as it came down into the river. The Toryo was getting fed up getting flinged around like a rag doll as the five Riders got ready to do more. They charged at it when it charged at them before they quickly ducked under its axes before dodging another swing from it so that both Geats and Zoi used the pipe and the shield to batted away. "Time for some fireworks!" Geats declared before he took the Magnum Buckle out of Lobo's driver. This confused her before he made her bring up the Magnum Shooter and insert it in the slot in front of the trigger and changed it to Rifle mode. Magnum, Bullet Charge! Leo realized that he's playing to do a big finish before he decided to play long and revved up the Boost buckle. Boost Time! The Boost Striker then road in on its own before it flipped and turned into a robotic lion. Geats, Tycoon, and Zoi pressed down on their buckles to help out with the big finish. Water started to flow into the pipe as the bow Tycoon hold charged up with power while the shield Zoi hold glowed bright. Leo's eyes glowed before he revved up the buckle again for the big finish while Zoi pulled the trigger on the Magnum Shooter. Boost, Grand Strike! Tactical Blast! Water Strike! Shield Strike! Arrow Strike! Geats unleashed a very powerful wave of water straight towards the Toryo as Zoi through her shield as it spun around in the air. The enormous blast of water blinded the Toryo as the shield struck it a few times as Lobo and Tycoon released a barrage of arrows and laser bullets right at it. From within the wave is Leo who came at it with a powerful Rider Punch as the pipes on his right arm gave an extra boost. The moment he struck and landed behind it, the Toryo exploded. "Wow, that Boost Buckle really packs a punch!" Zoi commented when she, Tycoon, and Lobo ran over to Leo. "Man, that really got my adrenaline going!" Tycoon told them. "Thanks... for being so easy to fool." Geats told them in a amused tone. "I knew you had it in you." "What do you mean being so easy to fool?" Lobo asked him. "I know you guys would help me out if I made up some sad story." Geats told them. "All four of you looked gullible enough, I mean." He then turned to walk away as they were shocked that he tricked them. "Then what was that about helping kids?!" Leo shouted at him while sounding angry. "Don't any of you read books?" Geats asked when he stopped. "Foxes are known to be deceive." "So all of that was a lie?!" Lobo asked as Leo tightened his fist. "Mr. Eclipse died to try and help his son!" Leo shouted before he was about to throw a punch at Geats. "Stop!" Geats told him before the Boost Buckle in Leo's driver suddenly blasted off and pushed Leo back into the others before it flew off. "Too bad, it's a one use item." He then turned to leave as Leo hit the ground in anger at him. "And that's the end of round one!" China declared as every rider were back on the floating island and out of their Rider forms. "Only nine remain. Good job out there! We will resume Desire Grand Prix on the next Jyamato appearance. Until then, have a good day!" "Hold on!" Twilight called out as the others except Flash turned to leave. "If you can fulfill any wishes... Does that mean you can revive all the eliminated contestants?" "If that is what you wish." China told her with a warm smile before she left. "Any wish can be fulfilled..." Sonata said to herself when China answered Twilight. "Like I'll lose to any of you." Toxic said before he walked out. Flash placed a hand on her shoulder as he knew why she asked that before Ace stopped next to them. "You can wish for a better world all you want." Ace told them as Flash shot him a glare. "In the end, I'll be the one winning." Within the hospital, Eclipse's son lays in his bed with his mother talking to the doctor. "We have all the resources we need to operate on your son." The doctor told her, which surprised her. "But, how?" She asked him. "Just now, we received a large sum of donation for your son." The doctor answered her. "Apparently it is from someone called 'nameless fox'." Outside the hospital is Ace in casual clothing walking out as he was the one who gave the hospital the resources they need to help Eclipse's son. He stopped before giving one last look and moving on. "Kamen Rider Geats..." A disguised voice said in an unknown location as a monitor showed Ace leaving the hospital to a masked man. "Just what is your endgame...?" The rules of the Desire Grand Prix: The soul survivor of the game will have their wish granted. Conditions apply. > Chapter 3: Encounter II: Zombie Hunting > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flash, Twilight, Wallflower, and Micro had returned back and told the others Rainbooms about the Desire Grand Prix. About what it's about, and to fight the threat of the unknown enemy known as the Jamato. They told him about the buckles that equip them with weapons to fend off the enemy as Kamen Riders. The entire group was at the mall as the Rainbooms were at this belief about what they were hearing. "And apparently the winner is granted the right to rewrite the world the way the winner wants." Twilight finished as she was holding the Magnum Buckle in her hand. "But…" "Before we knew it, the game claimed its first victim." Wallflower mentioned with a sad look. "And apparently if you die during this game, you can't come back." "So y'all are gonna be fighting for ya lives now?" Applejack asked in shock. "Isn't there a way for y'all to just drop out of the competition?" "We wish, but I looked over the rules and there aren't any." Micro mentioned. "Well, the world has to know about all of this then." Sunset said with a determined tone. "They're not allowed to tell the world about the game, they know that." China told them while holding a tablet, which startled the group when she suddenly appeared. "Where'd you…?!" Rainbow tried to ask before China walked up to the flour riders. "You will be disqualified if you violate the rules." She told them as she showed them the rules on the tablet. Twilight took the tablet and read the rule that she had highlighted out loud. "'It is prohibited to disclose Desire Grand Prix information to third parties other than the participants. After the violination is discovered, it will be forcefully retired.'" She read before she looked at China. "We weren't violating any rules. We were just assuring our friends that we were all right and they wanted to know what happened to us. We're not going to tell the world about the game." "And we promise we won't tell anyone else about it!" Fluttershy quickly added as China quickly looked at the rest of the Rainbooms. "As long as none of you tells anyone else, I suppose it's okay." China said with a smile. "Oh good…" Pinkie sighed in relief before she looked at China. "But how did you get here without us knowing?" China didn't answer as she just turned to leave before Flash quickly stood in front of her. "You told us before if any of us wins, the winner will revive anyone who lost the game, right?" He asked her. "So, where is Mr. Eclipse now?" "Only Jyamato knows where he is." China answered before she walked away. "Great, so that means we can't save him until we win the game." Twilight said with a sad look. "Well then, please enjoy your time until the next mission." China told them before she walked around the corner. Rainbow however wasn't done with her as she raced over to get more answers but she couldn't find China when she came around the corner. "Well, this is getting freakier by the minute." Rainbow muttered with a look. Meanwhile, Sonata was with the rest of the Dazzlings in town next to their tour bus while they were having some lunch. "What do you mean you can't tell us where you went?" Adagio questioned her with a brow. "I just can't." Sonata replied. "I was invited to play a game and one of the rules is that I can't tell you about the game." "Wow, so some strange woman came out of nowhere and gave you some sort of belt and a weird core thing inside a box and after putting both of them on you disappeared without a trace." Aria spoke up with an annoyed tone. "And when you came back, you said you played a game and you can't tell us what the thing is?" "Yeah…" Sonata replied as she casually continued to eat while her sisters just gave her a look. Meanwhile Ace was on top of a roof as he tossed a golden Greek coin up in the air before he caught it and looked at it. "I'm right here." He said to the coin like he was talking to someone. "You may not realize it yet, but I am." He then looked up with a determined look. "And I will find you." The next day, Flash was having some grilled cheese in a diner as he was lost in his own thoughts. There have been reports about Mr. Eclipse missing and his family has already filed a report. A part of him wishes to tell what happened, but couldn't because of the rules. And then there's Ace, can't put his finger on why but a part of him just feels like he met him way before the Desired Grand Prix. His thoughts were interrupted when a familiar voice spoke up. "What are you doing?" Flash looked up and saw Ace looking at him with a grin and a brow. "You still a little shocked about what happened to Eclipse?" He asked when he sat in front of Flash but got no response. "Oh I see, you're still upset about me using you and your friends to get the win." "Look, I don't know what your game is, but someone just died and his family doesn't know what happened to him." Flash told Ace with a stern tone. "And China said only the Jyamato knows where he is. Where did these things even come from in the first place?" "I couldn't tell you if I wanted to." Ace replied before they both saw a bunch of fangirls outside the window. "Do you ever get tired of that?" Flash asked him before they both got an alert on their phones they got when they entered the Grand Prix. They both pulled him out and saw a text telling them to report to the Temple of Desire. "The Grand Prix is calling us." Ace said before he smirked at Flash. "Let's head to the bathroom before we put our drivers on." He suggested before heading towards the bathroom. Flash let out a side before taking out his Desire Driver from his backpack and headed to the bathroom with Ace. Desire Driver. Flash and Ace were soon teleported to the Temple of Desire along with the other competitors as a holographic screen showed an area circled purple while China stood in front of them. "We have confirmed new sighting of Jyamato." She informed the competitors. "We will now begin Round 2: the Zombie Survival game." "I'm sorry, but did you say zombie?" Wallflower questioned nervously before the Holograms green showed the Jyamato wearing teared clothes like zombies chasing a bunch of people. "A group of Jyamato zombies are approaching the town." China informed them. "Our data indicates that they will attack in three waves. If any of those made their way to the city, a zombie outbreak will occur. We definitely don't want that!" "So you're saying that our new mission is to defeat all three waves and not let a single one into the city." Twilight summarized. "That's right." China replied before a hologram screen of a scoreboard appeared behind her. "In this game, you'll be judged by your score. At the end of the game, the one with the lowest score will be disqualified." "Um… by outbreak, you mean…" The man with the hot pink skin spoke up nervously. "Be careful, or you'll join their ranks…" China answered with a cryptic tone as Flash held up the arrow buckle he picked up from the last mission from Mr. Eclipse after he vanished while Ace held up the faucet and shield buckles. "Worried you might lose with all that junk?" Poison teased Ace, but Ace only chuckled in response. "Of course not." Ace told him with a smile before you looked at Poison. "Wanna bet? If I rank higher, I'll be taking your buckle." "You're on." Poison replied with a scoff. "But if I win, I'll take all of yours." "Let's begin!" China declared before each of the competitors were transported into the area below where they saw the Zombie Jyamato surrounding them. Ace then readied the shield Buckle as each of the competitors ready their buckles as well before placing them into their drivers. "Henshin!" They all shouted before pressing on their buckles and transforming into their Rider forms with armed shield, armed arrow, Zombie Buckle form, Magnum form, and armed hammer. Ready? Fight! Buffa pushed the switch on his chainsaw like sword and ready to fight the zombie Jyamato. Poison Charge! Tactical Break! He charged at them and swung his sword to slice one of the zombie Jyamato into pieces. Tycoon took a position up in a tree as he shot a few arrows at some Jyamato as Zoi was gettin some people that were in the area out of danger. A few Jyamato had a bunch of people cornered before they were blasted down by both Leo and Lobo. "Go, now is your chance to get out of here!" Lobo told them. "Find some place safe to hide until this is all over!" Leo instructed as the people thanked them and ran away. Secret Mission Clear. "Secret mission?" Leo repeated after hearing that before he looked at his phone and saw he and Lobo completed one before a box appeared next to them. Leo opened his up and saw the Boost Buckle inside. "No way! But how did I get this back?!" "I guess if we clear these secret missions, we get new buckles." Lobo theorized before she opened hers up and she saw she had got a Zombie Buckle. "And mine is the same onenBuffa has." She said before she blasted a zombie Jyamato back. "You better use yours wisely, because it is a one-time use." Meanwhile, Da-paan was shooting a few Jyamato from on top of a building while Na-go swung her hammer to beat a few of them down. "NAH-YEAH!!" She cheered excitedly before the one she beat down quickly got up and frightened her. "Why are you still standing?!" She exclaimed before throwing a few boxes right attic to keep it away from her before another one came right at her and tried to pin her down. "Cut it out…! Get off!" She then looked up at Da-paan who continued to shoot at the enemy. "Hey Mr. Panda, help me out here!" "We're rivals, no one is stupid enough to help you." Da-paan told her as he continued to shoot at the enemy. "You gotta be kidding me!" Na-go shouted before knocking the Jyamato back and tried to make a run for it only to run into a corner. She was about to be jumped by a few of them if Geats had not rushed in and pushed them back. He then grabbed her arm where she held her hammer and used it to whack them back to make them explode. "Don't you ever play games?" He questioned her. "Aim for the heads." He told her before he tapped her on the head. "Oh… that makes more sense." Na-go replied before Geats used his shield to push one of them back while she used her bammer to bonk them on the heads. Da-paan watched what happened from the rooftop as he let out a scoff, completely unaware that the Jyamato was approaching him from behind. Inside a building, Geats switched to his armed water form and used the pipe to beat down on their heads while Ka-boom continued to Bonk them on their heads as well. Soon both Leo and Lobo joined in as Leo fired a few arrows at their heads while Lobo fired a barrage of bullets at them. Geats then ran over to a pair of doors and stuck his pipe between them before turning the faucet on his driver. Water. He pressed the trigger on the pipe before he started attacking a few of the Jyamato with a few punches or kicks, as if he was charging it up for something. Na-go was being chased around a barrel by a few of them as she tried to keep her distance from them before Leo blasted them away from her. More than then came out either the walls or came into the building. "There's no end to them!" Both Na-go and Lobo complained before Geats noticed a room was being flooded with water. "It's time." He said to himself before he raced over to the doors. "Geats, what are you doing?!" Leo called out as he pulled the pipe out of the doors and Water started coming out when the door started to crack. Water Strike! Leo saw what he was planning before he quickly jumped out of the way just as Geats did when the doors burst and flooded the room with the Jyamato, Na-go, and Lobo. Both Geats and Leo stood on some railings as they watched the room flood before it drained away before they jumped down. Mission Clear. "That's how you hunt zombies." Geats brag as Leo went to check on Lobo and Na-go. "Are you both okay?" He asked them as they looked a little dizzy. "That's the end of Wave 1!" China declared while Leo helped both Lobo and Na-go up. "He could have warned us earlier…" They both groaned. The competitors returned to the lobby as they saw their scores and Ace had the most out of all of them while Flash was second, Toxic was third, Pa-daa was fourth, Twilight with fifth, Micro was sixth, Wallflower was seventh, Sonata was eighth, and Mary was dead last. "Excellent work out there." The man before congratulated the competitors. "Please enjoy your stay until the next wave." "I still can't believe that was just the first wave." Micro mentioned. "I…almost lost." Sonata said with a worried tone. "This game is so hard." The man with pink skin muttered nervously as Ace walked over to Toxic with a smirk as he held up Toxic's Zombie Buckle. "I won, so I'll be taking this." He told him with a proud tone before he handed over the faucet buckle. "But I'm a fair guy. Beat my score with this and I might return it." Toxic looked at him for a moment before he snatched the buckle from Ace before he walked away. "I gotta admit that you got a better score than any of us when you helped out Sonata, Flash." Micro mentioned after seeing his score. "And that was only with just the arrow buckle." "Well, I didn't just fight them, I also helped out a few people that didn't get out. Flash mentioned before he pointed to Twilight. "So did Twilight." "Me and micro also helped a few people, I guess we didn't help out enough." Wallflower mentioned with a shrug. "Well, we did complete some sort of secret mission when we did it and we got a couple of new buckles out of it." Twilight spoke up as she pulled out another Zombie Buckle while flash held out the Boost Buckle. "I'm almost in dead last! Is there like a loot box I can get or something?!" Sonata called out. "By performing well, you will receive Desire Money." The man informed her before walking over to her with a tablet. "You can spend it by customs." Sonata looked at the tablet and saw a few items on there. "However, gears like buckles are not for sale." "Well that's just great, is there like another secret mission I can do?" She asked him. "If he told you, I don't think that a secret mission would be a secret mission." Flash pointed out. "Typical rich people." The guy who is Pa-daa muttered to himself. "Why are you even playing the game? Surely you have better things to do." "Hey, there's no need to be rude to her." Flash told him with a look. "There's some things money can't even find." "By the way, what exactly did you write down for your desire, Sonata?" Wallflower asked with curiosity. "That's my little secret." Sonata replied with her finger over her mouth and a wink. "But you'll find out when I win the game." "Screw you." The guy who is Pa-daa said as he stood up and walked away. "What is with that guy?" Twilight questioned with a brow. "Well we are all rivals." Ace spoke up. Toxic was out in the hall as he looked at the score and couldn't believe he was in third place behind Flash and Ace before the guy who is Da-paan walked up to him. "Hey, the name is Chopper and I want to know why you hate that Ace guy so much." He questioned Toxic. "It's so obvious it hurts." "All Kamen Riders are enemies." Toxic simply replied as he put away his phone. "Fine, you have your reasons." Chopper mentioned before Toxic looked at him. "How about you just worry about yourself?" He told him what a look before he started to walk away. "Same goes to you, now that Geats have your buckle and Lobo has one of her own." Chopper mentioned with a grin. "Shut up." Toxic told him. "I'll get it back and I don't care who else has another one." "Let's work together." Chopper suggested. "I saw Leo get a boost buckle and if we take that from him while also getting the Magnum Buckle from Lobo, they won't stand a chance." Toxic looked at him when he heard what Chopper said. "What's your goal?" He asked as Chopper had a dark grin on his face. Meanwhile back in the lobby, Sonata tried the Customs as she picked the clothes that were on it before giving the avatar that looks just like her a spin. She then lit up as her clothes changed to a purple hoodie without sleeves with a musical note on the back while she had skinny jeans on. "Wow! This is so cool!" She exclaimed excitedly before she tried on a new look, this time with a t-shirt that was blue on top and purple on the bottom. "You guys have got to try this!" "I guess I could give it a go." Twilight mentioned as she walked up and took the tablet. She then tapped on a few items on it before giving her avatar a spin. She then lit up before her clothes changed as she was now wearing a sleeveless jacket with her Kamen Rider symbol on one side and a six-pointed star on the other. She wore a t-shirt that had the initials for the Desire Grand Prix on it while she was wearing a light purple skirt on. "Huh, not bad." "So, you're really not going to tell us your desire, Na-go?" Ace asked Sonata. "Yup." Sonata replied with a shrug. "Does it have something to do with you and your sisters?" Flash questioned as Sonata just looked away. "Look, it's my desire and I don't want to spoil it okay." Sonata simply replied. "That's why we put our lives on the line." Ace spoke up. "If one has a dream, then this game will have you create a world of your ideal." The phone then rang before the man picked it up and answered it. After hearing who was speaking on the other end, he put the phone down and looked at the competitors. "The second wave is approaching." He told them. Soon the Riders were back out on the field as Na-go slammed her hammer on top of a Jyamato while Zoi slammed her Shield down on it. "Stay down!" She shouted as Mary pushed a few of them back with his own Shield. "Anyone needs rescuing?!" He called out as he was trying to get more points. "About to get bitten, maybe?!" "I know he wants more points because he's in last place, buddy he could have worded it better!" Tycoo called out as he had one of them pinned to a tree with his bow. Lobo knocked one down before firing it right to the head to destroy it. "You can say that again!" She agreed before one got her from behind and knocked her to the ground. She continued to fire at them as to keep them off of her before Leo quickly rushed in and pushed them back. The two of them then got surrounded before multiple arrows were being shot as Da-paan rushed in. "Hey, what are you doing?" Leo questioned him. "Sorry about being so rude earlier." He told them before he looked at Lobo. "I know who you are and I'm actually a fan of you and your friends, Twilight." He told her as he fought off some of the Jyamato. "What? What's this all of a sudden?" She questioned him with suspicion as she switched her blaster to Rifle mode and fired at the enemy. "I say we work together and score more points, all three of us!" Da-paan told them as he continued to fight them. Ace however watched him from afar as he had a look on his face. He then looked over at Buffa using the water buckle to fight off the Jyamato. "Why are you just standing there?!" Buffa called out to Ace as he knocked down a few of the enemy. But he then walked up into his face and stared him into the eye. "Stop acting like a star. Curse you and your glizy world." He then walked past him as Ace looked at him. "I won the game. How I change the world is mine to the side." Ace said before taking out the zombie buckle and placing it into his driver. Set. As the holographic words of zombie appeared to his right, Ace held out his hand and snapped his fingers. "Henshin!" He called out before he flipped the switch of the Buckle and it opened up as a zombie claw folded up to his core as he transformed into Kamen Rider Geats: Zombie Armor. Zombie! Ready? Fight! Inside a building, Leo and Lobo continue to fight off the Jyamato with Da-paan following behind as they continue to fight. "Okay, what's your real game?!" Leo questioned him as he shot a few of them down. "What, can't a guy help out a favorite band member?" He asked before he got Leo by surprise by kicking him back and shot Lobo in the back, causing her to fall to the ground. "Attacking other players is against the rules." China called out as Lobo was in the middle of a bunch of Jyamato. "I can't stand famous people at all!" Da-paan shouted as he pushed Leo into a wall. "If you think everyone here will be glad just to work together, you're living in a fantasy! Right now your girlfriend can be the world's first zombie Superstar!" Leo saw Lobo getting overwhelmed by the enemy before he tightened his grip and punched Da-paan in the gut to push him back. He rolled on the ground before he took aim at Lobo to finish her off before Geats came in and blocked the shot with his sword. "You know what they say: an eye for an eye, a zombie for a zombie." Geats recited before he looked at Leo. "Ready to do a combo?" He then looked at Geats for a moment before he nodded and took out the Boost Buckle before he looked over at Lobo. "Twilight, toss me the Magnum Buckle and use the zombie one!" He called out before she nodded in agreement and took out her Magnum Buckle and replaced it with the Zombie Buckle. Leo quickly caught it before placing it on the right side of his driver and put the Boost Buckle into the left side. Set! Both of them activated the buckles as Lobo was equipped with the zombie armor and Leo was equipped with Boost and Magnum armor. Dual, On! Get ready for: Boost and Magnum! Ready? Fight! Da-paan had an annoyed look under his mask as the three Riders stood back to back with each other. "Take a good look! You're in for a surprise!" Geats declared as he and Lobo slashed their swords at a few of them while Leo blasted a few back. A Jyamato tried to get Lobo from behind if Leo didn't block it with the blaster and kicked it back as Geats flipped over them and slashed a few more. Lobo then blocked an attack from one of them for the chain on the sword revved up and she slashed through a few of them. Both her and Geats jumped up and slashed a few more when they came down just as Leo jumped and spun around to blast the rest of them as the boosters on his lower half gave him a boost up. The three of them then got to higher ground before both Geats and Lobo charged up both their weapons. Poison Charge! Tactical Break! Both of them slashed the remaining Zombie Jyamato and took them out. "I was so close… and you just had to get in the way!" Da-paan growled at Geats before he started firing at the three. Both Geats and Lobo blocked the blast from him with their swords before Leo dodged another blast from him as his firing hit the wall. "You know attacking other players is against the rules, you're going to get a bunch of penalties for this." Leo taunted. "And if that's how you're playing, you're on." Geats said as he and Leo looked ready to fight him. Da-paan started rapid-firing at them as Lobo quickly took cover while the other two Riders ran and dodged each blast. Leo then pulled back on his blaster and aimed behind him. Charge! Tactical Shoot! He fired a big blast to block any more fire at him or Lobo as both him and Geats leaped out of the building. The two of them then took on more zombie Jyamato as Da-paan got on top of the roof and took aim at them. "Eat this!" He shouted as he fired at them, but they both saw it coming as they pressed a buttons on their drivers and rotated them. Revolve on! Both of their bodies rotated as they dodged the blast and their armors flipped. Geats now had the zombie armor on his lower half while the Boost and Magnum Farmers switched sides on Leo. "Now, time for the highlight." Geats declared as he scratched the ground with the claw on his leg. "And for this game to be turned up to eleven." Leo declared as he cracked his knuckles before they returned to fight the Jyamato as they kicked one in the air before they spun around and kicked it right towards Da-paan. He shot it down before he saw both of them had vanished. "Where'd they go?!" He exclaimed before both of them suddenly appeared next to him and they kicked him back. Sparks flew off of them as he crashed onto the ground before they saw both Leo and Geats charging right at him. Both of them activated their finishers as they delivered one last kick right at Da-paan. Zombie Strike! Magnum Boost Grand Victory! The impact sent Da-paan flying back and he transformed out of his rider form right next to Buffa. After seeing what happened, he kicked one of the enemies back before he walked over, as he transformed back to Toxic, to Leo and Geats who transformed back to Flash and Ace, just as Twilight raced over to them. Mission clear! "Have you both lost your mind?" Toxic question Ace and Flash. "You both are going to lose points." "He started it when he attacked me from behind." Twilight defended them as he pointed to Chopper on the ground. "He was going to feed me to those zombie Jyamato if Ace didn't come to help us." "And I don't think we will." Ace spoke up with a confident Smile as he pulled out his phone and showed Toxic something just when the others regrouped with them. "No penalties…" Toxic said before he took Flash's phone and saw that he had no penalties as well. "But how?" "A zombie bit him." Ace answered as he pointed to Chopper. "So that's why he suddenly attacked us." Flash said with realization as Chopper struggled to get up. He glared at them but they could see dark purple veins on his wrist as some sort of plant was growing on his arm. "The zombies only went after me and Flash, but not him when he attacked us." Twilight pointed out. "They recognized him as their own kind." "So, he got infected sometime before this wave? Wallflower questioned. "He realized they won't attack him." Ace spoke up as he walked over to Chopper. "And so you decided to take Lobo and Leo down with you, didn't you?" "Life is so unfair…" Chopper muttered as he gripped the ground. "I worked so hard to become a professional basketball player, but one day… Just one stroke of bad luck. Just one bad day, and my world changed. Just wanted to take everyone down with me. A world without humans!" "You could have written a better wish." Twilight told him with a sincere tone. "A world where you can do what you love. You could have wished to be better. A world where you--" "I don't care anymore!" Chopper shouted. "Don't say that!" Micro spoke up. "We all play the game so we can make a better world, right?" "Not really." Ace spoke up. "You can wish for whatever you want. Just like how it took a bloody war to unite Japan. In this game… only the victor can speak of justice." "What does the past have to do with this?" Toxic questioned Ace as China walked up to them. "Congratulations!" She spoke up to get their attention. "That marks the end of Wave 2. Once more, you have saved a lot of lives. Please take a well-deserved rest." They all soon returned to the lobby as they rested and waited for the next wave. Wallflower however looked pale as she was breathing heavily before she fell to the floor. "Are you okay?!" Flash asked as he and Twilight went over to check up on her. Micro then noticed something on her shoulder and grew worried. "Guys look, she got infected too!" He called out as they saw a bite mark on her shoulder. "Served her right." Chopper chuckled as they glared at him. "If anything, I'm surprised she made it this far." Toxic mentioned as he walked out of the room with Chopper following behind him. "A-Am I… going to d-die here…?" Twilight breathed out as Ace walked up behind them. "No." He spoke up to get their attention. "The game is not over yet." The rules of DGP: If you lose your life during the game, you will leave this mortal world. Please be careful.
