Kamen Rider Zi-O, Dimensional Descent

"Oh, sorry, sorry! Well, I've already learned more than two thousand skills, but I've been traveling a lot, so it's not convenient to make new postcards. Also, I haven't had time to properly organize my skill list lately, so I'll just write it like this for now!"

"No, that's not what I meant..."

They're still in the middle of a battle! Those guys over there could attack at any moment, and he has the leisure to chat about this kind of thing?!

"Godai Yusuke, that is... Kuuga?"

"That's right! You all know each other! That makes things even more convenient, saving me the trouble of introducing you all again."

"What? Isn't this great? It's amazing! Two thousand skills!"

"It's not that amazing, and I feel like you should be pretty amazing too, Mr. Hibiki!"

"Huh? Why is that?"

"I don't know, but just looking at you gives me the feeling that you're really amazing. It's an indescribable feeling, maybe... it's a sixth sense?"

"I see, so that's the popular way of saying it now."

"Yeah, I guess so! But my approach is actually outdated. Kids these days seem to have all sorts of new internet slang, and I'm trying my best to learn it too."

"I can totally relate to that..."

What's going on here?

Although the names sound familiar, Gates had never met Godai Yusuke and Hibiki in person before. Instead, he obtained Kuuga and Hibiki's control watches indirectly through other means.

Having seen it with my own eyes, I now realize that Kuuga's healer, well... how should I put it...

—Even in this extremely critical situation, he can still chat with others so calmly and optimistically.

And that Hibiki too, how come he can chat with him so naturally?

"Is that a race car over there? That must be the driver! Here, you get one too!"

"No, no, you've got it wrong. I'm actually a police officer."

"Police? Wow... This is really surprising. Do police officers have such cool cars now?"

"Well, I don't think that's the case; it's just my personal reason..."

click-

During their conversation, the strange sound rang out again.

It is an alternate form of Void Self.

At some point, it had grabbed the front of the train with both hands and lifted it high into the air.

"Hey! Stop chatting!"

Several other people jumped out of the train, and this time they were all people Gates knew.

Sakurai Ikuto, and his Imagin Tensei.

And following behind were Momotaros... and a white Otherworldly being.

"Oh... I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

Momotaros shook his arm, and he and several Otherworldly Gods returned to the battlefield.

"What exactly is going on?"

Gates couldn't help but glance at Sakurai Ikuto beside him.

"To make a long story short, a guy who looks like a god told me about your situation here, and asked me to go to another world to bring these people here."

"A guy who looks like a god?"

"In short, there's no time left. Given the current situation, we must deal with that guy over there as soon as possible. It will require the concerted efforts of several people!"

The time-travel train used to buy time has been blasted away.

Another Kuuga slowly turned around, once again turning his attention to them.

"Hmph, isn't that just what I wanted?"

After looking at everyone present with great interest, Momotaros walked straight to the front.

"I've had enough of letting that guy named Tide get so cocky. From now on, I'm going to take them down one by one—"

"Indeed."

Before Momotaros could react, the first man to appear walked right up to them.

Even in the face of a crisis of this magnitude, he maintained a calm and composed expression.

"We've only just arrived in the new world and we're already being plagued by this monster. It would be best to get rid of it as soon as possible."

"Hey, you little brat... why do you talk to me in such an unpleasant tone!"

And so, everyone gathered together.

Yan Ming walked out from behind Gates and Wozniak and looked everyone over.

"Godai Yusuke, Hibiki, Tendou Souji, Tomari Shinnosuke...?"

"Huh...you actually know us?"

"I've read about you in books, so I also know that you are all Kamen Riders."

From this perspective alone, the self-introductions and such should probably only be done by these individuals themselves.

"So."

Led by the Chief of the Heavenly Path, everyone turned their gaze forward.

"Is this the monster we need to deal with?"

hiss…

As if provoked, the blood-red light flashing in Another Kuuga's eyes became even sharper.

"Shinnosuke, be careful. I can analyze that this monster contains a very strange energy!"

"Indeed, Mr. Belt..."

"Although it looks unremarkable, you can clearly feel that something is wrong with its aura."

"As expected, the fact that they called us all over means that this monster must be very strong."

Staring at the strange figure several meters tall in front of him, Yusuke Godai's expression gradually became serious.

"Moreover, it gives me a very familiar feeling."

"That's probably because this thing was created by Kuuga."

"Kuuga...?"

"No matter what, we can't let this guy continue like this."

then.

Even without a leader, the group of people all gathered together.

hum-

The crimson beetle flew into Tendou Souji's hand.

Yusuke placed his hands across his waist, and Hibiki took the tuning fork from the side of his pocket.

Sakurai Ikuto and Momotaros then took out their belts and other items respectively.

"Then let's all go together from here."

"Hey? We want to go too?"

"Of course! How can we let these guys snatch such a rare opportunity!"

"It feels familiar~"

"Let me lend a hand too, and help you perfect your immature transformation~"

"Stop talking nonsense, and tell me, you idiot, who brought you here?"

"Peach, Tower, Gold, Dragon"

"Charge and Up!"

"Tianjin Fourth, you come over here too!"

"Okay!"

"Transformation."

"Henshin! Cast off! Change Beetle!"

"Transform!"

"I won't say things like that, but... haaah—!!"

"Shinnosuke, let's all go together!"

"Perfect for me, Mr. Belt... Transform!"

"Drive! Type Speed!"

Multicolored light covered Den-O's entire body, and the red armor transformed into Zeronos's body.

The dark purple flames covered Hibiki's body, the heavy armor spreading like ripples, and then were all ejected by Tendou Souji, as well as Shinnosuke, whose entire body was covered by armor, with the tire of the car that flew in attached to his chest.

Finally, there is Godai Yusuke, whose entire body is flashing with dazzling red light and undergoing a high-density transformation.

"Ugh...!"

Tide, suspended in mid-air, was blinded by the dazzling light.

When we can see it clearly again.

The battlefield before them was no longer just a matter of Yan Ming and his two companions.

An all-around warrior from the ancient times.

A criminal police officer moving at lightning speed.

Super-fast beetle warriors.

A demon warrior who has cultivated to the highest level.

And... those two time guardians who came from across time and space.

Image: "Illustration", Location: "Images/1679152111-100312401-110081120.jpg"

From left to right, red, purple, multicolored, crimson... that's the posture of all kinds of warriors standing side by side.

The total number of people is as high as nine.

It's practically like an army of Kamen Riders.

Although, from Tide's perspective, they actually look like a group of gangsters.

"What good is having a lot of people?"

He had firsthand experience with battles like those where Kamen Riders formed gangs and brought in a large group of people to fight against thugs and gangsters.

That's nothing but a showy but empty act.

It can be said that everything was under Teed's control.

He never panicked from the beginning.

"Get them!"

An astonishing aura erupted once again from Another Kuuga.

"Crush those damned knights!"

Bang-!

But before that, one of them raised his hand first.
