After managing to put an end to Pharaoh Dopant's case, the detective, Oozora Hiro was dying as he received a grave wound from the criminal. Currently, his apparently lifeless body was resting against the wall at some empty alley in a heavy night rain. Upon managed to convey his dying messages towards his mother, Haruka and his little sister, Ayumu via phone call, the bluenette lost the strength in his hand to continue talking to them. He ended up dropping the Stag Phone along with his left arm and his eyelids were forced to shut close.
"Don't worry, I'll save you. Hang in there" a voice suddenly said, and it sounded feminine. "Who?" Hiro asked in his mind as his eyelids slowly opening again but ended partially. He did see female like silhouette in front of him and heard her words. However, his vision was too blurred for him to describe how she exactly looks like. In addition, his eyelids soon close again, rendering him to only have a glimpse of that female silhouette.
20th April 2059, Sunday
Inside a building at a secluded island, there are two people within one of the open floors. The first one is a man in his forties who works as a private detective. He had grey eyes, wore a white suit and a white fedora with black ribbon that is slightly torn at the front. This man is Asaka Fuuto. The other one is Hiro but the bluenette was not wearing anything formal. His outfit was more of a casual, consisting of a white t-shirt with grey stripe running across the centre, blue sweatshirt with light blue hoodie, white badge on left side, short brown pants and a pair of green-white sneakers. Hiro was Fuuto's apprentice or rather a detective in training.
At that time, Fuuto was supporting the bluenette with his shoulders in walking due to some circumstances. As for Hiro, he was carrying a metal briefcase in his free hand. Their only goal was to get out of that place. However, unbeknownst to them, many men in black suits are there, armed with guns.
A few of them suddenly pulled the trigger to shoot at them, specifically they shoot at Fuuto. The said detective got hit at his back from the bullets and was forced to release his support on Hiro before collapsing. His fedora ended up falling along the way. The apprentice was shocked and went to check on Fuuto. "Boss!" Hiro called out worriedly.
However, Fuuto struggled with all his might in his hand to reach out his dropped fedora before putting it on his apprentice. "Hiro… For me… look after this city and my daughter until she got married a man worthy of having her" the elder detective told the bluenette as he passed his fedora to the latter.
Tears started falling as Hiro started sobbing. "Please forgive me. This hat is still too early for me… I am not ready yet!" the bluenette cried as he regrettably apologised to his mentor. "Then be a man worthy of it" said Fuuto amusingly before he lied his head down and shut his eyes, dying for real. The bluenette was horrified could not believe what he really sees. Someone who he admired as a fatherly figure and his mentor in being a detective, die before his very eyes. "Boss!" yelled Hiro as he mourned for his mentor's death.
Inside a bedroom where Hiro usually slept at daily, the bluenette was having a nightmare, reminding him of the past that he faced before. Upon witnessing the death scene, his eyelids, as if by instinct, along with his body suddenly raised and he sat while yelling 'Boss!'. Then, Hiro realised that he was at a different place than what he experienced and ended up panting out of shock.
"Where… am I?" muttered Hiro, wondering where he was as he started looking around him. Then the bluenette realised that he was in his bedroom, specifically, he was lying on his bed, covered in a blanket and he was wearing a grey pyjama. Then the detective remembered that he was wounded and proceed to lift his cloth and check his body.
To his surprise, the grave wound he received was not there. It already vanished like magic. "Is that a dream?" Hiro asked himself as he let go of his cloth. "No. It isn't. I'm sure I died. That hard battle and this city crying. It's not a dream. But, why I am alive? Who was that?" he wondered curiously about what happened to him.
18th June 2060, Friday
Hiro got involved in another case. This time, he received a request from his high school informants and his little sister, Ayumu to stop a criminal who had been changing the exam results of school students. To be specific, students who supposedly passed in flying colours ended up failing while the vice versa occurred. Day, Night, and Ayumu were among the victims who suddenly got F in their results despite studying properly and do revisions.
Hiro suspected that a Dopant was involved since the same phenomena happened to every school in Amanohara City and those people are having complaints about how prejudice this thing is despite some of the students work hard but ended up failing. After managing to gather evidence, the detective managed to find out the identity of the criminal and the used Gaia Memory.
Currently, a Dopant was cornered into under a bridge that was void of people by Kamen Rider Cyclone. The Dopant had dark blue body with an Analog clock head, calendar like torso, black samurai-like armour and a pair of blades that represents a clock's hour and minute hands, hanging by the waist. According to the lookup Hiro had done in the Planetary Bookshelves, the name of the Gaia Memory was Time. One of its exclusive ability is that one can travel into the past and alter the future. Upon knowing this power was serious business if abused any further, the detective cannot simply ignore such a criminal and decide to put an end to this charade.
"Michael Tabata, 32 years old, an unemployed man who was suspected for scandals" Hiro started by revealing the identity of the culprit. "What are you thinking, changing the result for students' exams?" he questioned.
"Students who failed in their exams will fall to despair and of course ended up thinking their life is over. Their failure education and poor reputation rendered them impossible to enter college and gets job. In the end, most of them will ended up become criminal" explained Michael wickedly.
"Failure in education and poor reputation will lead to increase in crimes, huh?" Hiro mumbled. "I do have that logic once. But too bad for you, humans are much stronger to resist such thing, if they got support from their family and friends. And more importantly, successful people are born from those who learn and improve themselves from their past mistakes and failures. The same goes for me" he argued while comparing himself to it.
The criminal was left speechless, mainly because he was just saying that with solid justification and had no idea what to use for countering the argument. "What should I do? Perhaps I should go to the past and distribute Gaia Memories. Maybe that will change his impression" Michael thought of a solution, but he was not thinking. He was saying his mind out loud that even anyone can tell that he does not know how to be quiet about things you should not tell people. Hiro was aware about this because one of the keywords that lead to this criminal was 'Careless' from all the clues he gathered.
"I got the feeling such thing would come to mind" said Hiro calmly, somehow had anticipated this. "What?! How did you know what I was thinking?" questioned Michael. "You were saying that at FULL VOLUME!" Hiro pointed out.
The Dopant then become surprised upon realising how careless he was and blabbered something he was not supposed to say. "Oops I really say it loud? Forget you heard anything and let me skedaddle. Okay, Kamen Rider-san?" he politely pleaded, which made the green Kamen Rider sniggered amusingly for a while. "Sorry, can't do that!" declared Hiro before he charged towards the Dopant with the W-Sword in hand.
Time draw the pair of blades and used them to defend himself as Cyclone came swinging his sword at the former. The green Kamen Rider continuously swung for a few times, giving the Dopant no time to counterattack before delivering a frontal kick, hurling him 10 metres away. "This shall clinch it" declared Cyclone as he pulled the green Memory from the driver, readying to insert it into W-Sword 's Maximum Slot. "Not yet!" Time raised his right hand to the rear and a violet portal suddenly appeared not to far from him.
The green Kamen Rider was aware that this is how the Dopant activates his unique ability to travel into different timelines. However, he was not going to let the criminal get away because of it. "Trying to run?!" growled Cyclone as he inserted the green memory, pressed the maximum button and stabbed the ground to summon a moving whirlwind towards Time.
An explosion transpired upon crashing the dark blue Dopant, presumably triggering a Memory Break. However, when the flames settle down, the green Kamen Rider was taken by surprise upon seeing the portal still active and no sign of the criminal or the shattered memory anywhere. "He got away? Then, I give chase!" declared Hiro as he rushed and managed to enter the portal before it closes a second afterwards.
10th May 2026, Sunday
Morning…
At the bottom of Oguma mountain, a treasure hunting race is being hold and about to start. The number of contestants is quite high because around 210 people signed up for this expedition contest. The race is team-based participation and requires 7 people per team, meaning, there are 30 teams competing against each other.
Kirigaya Kazuto (Kirito) had formed a team to join this contest. His other friends joining him in his team are Yuuki Asuna (Asuna), Shinozaki Rika (Lisbeth), Keiko Ayano (Silica), Asada Shino (Sinon), Nagata Shinichi (Recon) and lastly his little sister, Kirigaya Suguha (Leafa). Of course, Kirito was unwilling to join this because of he was not physically fit and not interested in outdoor activities as such. Though, because Asuna and Suguha made some excuse or such that he must join or so, he ended up obeying them in the end.
As for Shinichi, it is safe to imply that he just wanted to tag along with Suguha wherever she goes, since he had a crush on her. Supposedly, Tsuboi Ryotarou (Klein) and Andrew Gilbert Mills (Agil) were invited to join in but they had to decline due to various circumstances. Hence, the only males in the team are Kirito and Recon. All of them wore sports attire, consisting of sport shoes, tracksuits and long sleeve sweatshirts. Each of them also sports a lanyard with a tag for team numbers. Their group number is 7, which is equal to the number of members they had in their team.
"There sure is a lot of contestant. Maybe around 30 teams perhaps?" said Silica, referring to the crowds around them. "It's a shame Klein and Agil can't join us this time" stated Sinon. "What's wrong with those two?" asked Recon. "Agil and his family promised to have fun at an amusement park" answered Lisbeth. "As for Klein-san, his doctor forbids him from joining outdoor activities since he was recently discharged from the hospital" said Suguha subsequently.
"Still, why am I here anyway?" Kirito grumpily asked. "It's important to move your muscles regularly, Kirito-kun. I'm worried about your health" answered Asuna. "I think I had enough of exercising from Ordinal Scale (OS) incident" sighed Kirito whiningly, recalling all the moments of OS battles against SAO floor bosses, especially how incompetent he was on the first few.
It was all thanks to Suguha's kendo teaching and continuous practices that he was able to beat most bosses by himself and get into one-digit ranks. After evolving that much, he was able to figure out that Nochizawa Eiji, the OS player on second rank, who thought to have supernatural reflexes, was in fact, cheated using a special suit invented by Shigemura Tetsuhiro, the developer for Augma, the Augmented Reality device.
"Don't complain! Onii-chan get too much involved in gaming that you neglect exercising" scolded Suguha for her big brother's childish whining. "Plus, it's good to feel fresh air occasionally. You don't really get to experience this every day you know" Lisbeth added. "That's right, Kirito-kun" Asuna concluded.
"Seriously?" sighed Kirito, having no choice to escape the situation. "Still, why are you here, Nagata-kun?" Suguha questioned, somehow uneasy by, in her language, acquaintance rather than friend being present in the team.
"Geez, you invited me, and you asked me why?" replied Shinichi with sarcasm. "After all, Nagata-kun don't really spend with our party that often" Suguha pointed out. "Sorry about that, Suguha-chan. You don't really invite me that often" Shinichi apologised but the tone sounded so sarcastic, implying he was ridiculing her. However, Suguha was not amused and angrily gave Shinichi a punch on the stomach, causing him to yelp while tending to his pain.
"Don't address me so familiarly!" berated Suguha, somehow not pleased to hear her acquaintance addressing the former on first name basis. "Then how should I address you? Your big brother with us. He would get confused if I say Kirigaya-san" argued Shinichi. "Just shut up!" yelled Suguha as she delivered another punch at her acquaintance's stomach, repeating his yelp again.
Everyone else who watched this instantly sweat dropped, somehow surprised and a little awkward while feeling pity for the victim. "Suguha-chan really cold with Nagata-kun. They've been schoolmates but she's treating him like mere acquaintance" Asuna whispered to Kirito. "Well, she's no different than Sinon" spat Kirito but too bad the girl he referenced his sister with heard that. "Kirito, do you want me to send you to the hospital?" questioned Sinon with a threatening tone. "Sorry!" apologised Kirito, scared of the idea of what this beauty sniper would do to him.
"Contestants, may I have your attention please?" everyone's attentions were averted upon hearing the emcee's announcement. "Welcome to Bruno Treasure Hunting Competition. Just like the rumours regarding 7 wonders of the world, there are 7 treasures hidden in this mountain. The rule is simple, collect all the treasures. However, do note that the quantity for each treasure are only 3. In other words, only 3 teams can get all 7 treasures and the ownership for each is on first come, first serve basis. Supposedly, it comes to the last one of each treasure and there are more than one team that arrive simultaneously, our staff will hold a minigame for the teams to compete against each other for the treasure's ownership. Choose a representative from each team to play the minigame and that treasure shall be granted to the winning team. Of course, you can even try to take a treasure from another team until you get them all. However! Since our grand prizes are limited, there will be a time limit of four hours. Any questions so far?" the announcer informed the contestants before a few of them inquired regarding things they are not clear of.
After all inquiries had been answered, the race began on the signal by the emcee. All groups were scattered all around as they move, searching for the treasure based on the map given. Of course, the rule never forbids contestants to use such gadgets to assist them because it was not stated in the don'ts but in the do's.
With Yui and Strea's help, Kirito's team were able to get six out of seven treasures quicker than the rest because other teams did not have Artificial Intelligence Navigators like them. However, team 7 had a little bit of trouble in getting the last treasure because they arrived about simultaneously as team 21. Following the stated rule, both team competes in a short minigame held by the staffs in charge. Silica was chosen as the representative for Kirito's team while team 21 choose their own to participate in the minigame.
Though, Silica was hesitant because she did not have confidence in herself and afraid of losing. Nevertheless, the others trusted her and did not mind if she lose as their aim for this race was to have fun rather than winning the prizes. Hence, the little girl accepted the challenge and played that minigame.
Luckily, thanks to Silica's efforts and the minigame's nature, she managed to prevail against the opposing team, thus giving her team the proper ownership for the last treasure. Everyone applause their member of the team, who was a beast-tamer in ALO for winning that minigame. The little girl told them because of their belief in her that she was able to win and thanked the others for it.
With that, Kirito's team returned to the starting point and present all the collected treasures to the judges. After the hunting period was over, all contestants were gathered for the prize award ceremony. The third and second place goes to team 11 and team 29 respectively. Team 7 gets the grand prize since they were the first team to arrive and received a gadget invented by that company besides the biggest hamper. The other contestants applaud and congratulate the winning team. However, everyone was unaware that team 21, whose members are all males, did not cheer for the winning team. Instead, they had these vengeful glares, particularly towards team 7 but the crowd's praising was too noisy for everyone else to notice.
Kirito and his team are on their way towards downtown, trekking from Oguma mountain on the manmade road. They were the few of the last people to leave because their hamper prize was too heavy for them to carry as it is. Hence, they decided to divide their share of loads and prize right there rather than doing it at downtown.
While trekking, a group of familiar people approached and stopped in front of them. These people are the contestants from team 21 in the race earlier. "Um… how can we help you guys?" asked Silica.
"Wait, you guys are from team 21" stated Sinon. "What do you want?" inquired Kirito. "Sorry, you'll be handing over that prize to us!" team 21 leader declared. "Huh?! We won fair and square! Can't you just properly accept that you guys lost against us?" Lisbeth retorted with proper justification. "That's right! If winning is everything, that made you guys sore losers" Suguha added. "Shut up!" team 21 leader barked as he and his team members, each brings out something.
All of them had black USB devices with ribcage design, brown ports and a unique masked shape for an 'M' letter imprinted on it together with the name 'Masquerade' in capital letters. There is also a button to activate it. "Masquerade" the members of team 21 pressed the button on those devices and pierced their necks using the ports.
Those devices, known as Gaia Memories entered those people's bodies and mutates them into something unbelievable. They had ribcage on all over their black heads, pitch black eyes and were mouthless. Their clothing does not change but their bodies had become jet black as well.
Kirito and his friends were horrified from seeing this scene. "What?!" gasped Kirito. "They have become monsters!" exclaimed Shinichi. Kirito's group takes a step backward for every step those humanoid monsters take to approach them. "You're not getting away" a new male voice informed the group.
Kirito and his friends turned around to where the voice came from and saw an adult man with grey eyes and hair, wearing sports attire. That attire felt familiar for them because the staffs that handled the event a while ago wore similar outfits. "You're… one of the staffs from the competition just now" Asuna pointed out. "I have nothing personal against you guys but please die in their hands" that malicious male staff requested, telling Kirito and his friends to let themselves die. "What did you say?!" gulped Kirito. He realised that this male staff was in a conspiracy with team 21 who refused to accept losing.
Those villains began chuckling wickedly as they approached Kirito and his friends. The surrounded group were helpless in more ways than one. First is because Suguha did not bring her shinai and everyone did not bring any self-defence equipment. Second, the rest are not well-versed martial arts fighters, meaning they had no experience in self-defence either. Third, their paths to flee were blocked back and forth. The only option left was to make a phone call to the polices. Knowing that in mind, Lisbeth brings out her smart phone to dial emergency number, but the male staff and those villains had foreseen this.
To counter this, those villains rushed and grabbed Kirito and his friends, putting them into a headlock as well as preventing the victims from making an SOS call. The leader took Kirito while his members took the others as hostages. Of course, the victims struggled to break free, but they could not do so because the monster villains' strength was supernatural. "Let us go!" Suguha demanded. "Now, die!" the leader declared as he and his members trying to kill Kirito and his group.
"Hold it, gentlemen! It's a waste to kill the girls. Why don't you take them to become your play dolls? You understand what I mean?" the male staff informed team 21 to take advantage of what they have. "I get it. Then just killed these two boys and these chicks are our spoils, right?" the leader guessed.
"I guess you're right. This one has big chests. I wonder if she produces milk if I try sucking her" one of team 21 member said, referring to Suguha as he was holding and ogling onto her. "No fair! I want that one!" another member of team 21 whined while he was holding onto Asuna. "You yourself got a pretty lady there. What's there to complain about?" the previous member retorted. "How about we take turns with each girl as we all have fun?" leader team 21 suggested. "Agree!" the rest of his teammates agreed.
Of course, the two boys hearing this do not plan to let the villains do as they please. Kirito specifically, was protective of Asuna and Suguha because they are his girlfriend and sister respectively. Although Lisbeth, Silica and Sinon were did not have that kind of relationship with him, he still would not allow his female friends to be ravished by these impertinent villains. As for Shinichi, he cared and loved very much for Suguha although his romantic feelings were not reciprocated. She may be a tough, meanie girl at him but that is her charm and it makes him wanted to protect her more than anyone else in the world.
"I won't allow that!" barked Kirito, struggling to break free again from team 21 leader's grasp. "Audacious villains like you guys had no rights to touch Suguha-chan and the others with your filthy hands!" shouted Shinichi, trying to do the same but could not do any better than Kirito.
"All bark but no bite. Just stay still and your deaths won't be painful" said the male staff. "Let's start with you, noisy brat!" leader team 21 declared as he began strangling Kirito. The victim began yelping in pain while his limbs are too weak to break himself free. "Kirito-kun!" "Kirito-san!" "Kirito!" "Onii-chan!" Kirito's friends and family called out to him worriedly while helpless to save him because the other villains keep a strong hold onto them.
As hope for them began to fade, it did not from a sudden change of events that occurred afterwards. A small black stag beetle machine came flying out of nowhere and strike team 21 leader back and forth, forcing him to let go of Kirito. Everyone else was dumbstruck as to what just happened. Before they knew it, bright flashings suddenly happened, forcing them to cover their eyes. That flashes came from another small machine that is a blue bat. Then, during the confusion, another machine, which is a yellow spider shoots out strings at a few of those villains and their sights were blocked.
Realising they cannot see, those villains inadvertently let go of Silica, Lisbeth and Sinon. As for Shinichi, Suguha and Asuna, they broke free from their stranglers because the stag machine came striking those people after it strikes Kirito's strangler.
Noticing they had an opening, Shinichi and the others rushed away from the villains, with Suguha and Asuna supporting Kirito with their shoulders as they help him too. "Ah! They're getting away!" a member of team 21 noticed and yelled. "Don't let them escape!" the male staff ordered and team 21 began to chase after Kirito and his friends.
However, the three colourful machines interfered and strike them again with their previous patterns. This time, they attack the male staff as well. Kirito and his friends had their attentions on this and stopped fleeing after managing to get a good distance away by heading towards the bottom of the mountain.
They were confused as to what was occurring. Weird USB devices that transform people into monstrous form and colourful gadgets that came to rescue them. They were curious about this themselves. "What's going on?" asked Lisbeth.
Then, those gadgets suddenly flee from the villains and all headed towards the direction where Kirito's team was. The stated team had their eyes followed those machines movement until they saw a silhouette standing a few metres below them, continuously approaching the scene. The three gadgets all gathered around that shadow, who was revealed to be a man.
That man had dark blue hair and dark brown eyes. He wore a maroon long sleeve shirt with grey necktie, black vest and pants of the same colour. He also had a black fedora on his head and sport a pair of black shoes for his footwear. This man is Oozora Hiro, a detective and a Kamen Rider. "Who?" asked Sinon. "A detective?" guessed Asuna based on Hiro's attire.
(Play song: WBX [Double Boiled Extreme] by Kamiki Aya w TAKUYA)
Of course, even the male staff and the villains noticed the presence of the new guy and assume he was the one who owns the three gadgets. "Who the hell are you?!" the leader of team 21 questioned angrily.
"I came to interfere" declared Hiro, showing his face to them with a cold attitude. Those villains, excluding the male staff were furious for that impertinent attitude of the bluenette and charged towards him. Of course, the detective charged the monstrous villains and they engaged into grappling.
Unlike what happened earlier with Kirito and his friends, Hiro seemed to be putting up a good fight against these supernatural monsters. Even without weapons, he managed to get these villains good, blocking their attacks with his arms or dodge by crouching and then countered with kicks or punches. He even managed to grab one of the villains and hurled him to their teammates. Although in the detective's language, he referred to them as Dopants, monsters born from the use of Gaia Memories, the USB like devices that allow people to become such monstrous creatures. Since the name of the memories used by team 21 is Masquerade, these are Masquerade Dopants.
Kirito and the others were awed by this. They had to admit, this detective is skilful. "Amazing…" Silica muttered. "What a splendid way of moving" Sinon noted. "This guy seems trained in fighting" said Suguha. "Yeah. From what I can see, it does not seem like he used any special equipment that enhances his body" Kirito concurred as he did not see anything about that seems to support this detective in fighting the Dopants.
By the time he said that, Hiro had finished fighting those villains, knocking them all down and sweep his hands like he just cleaned things from dust. The male staff was surprised to see those team was defeated by a single individual.
"I finally found you… Michael Tabata. No. Time Dopant" Hiro declared and pointed his hand towards the male staff. "Dopant?" echoed Shinichi. "You are…!" the male staff known as Michael Tabata gasped. He seems to know the detective somehow. "That's right. I pursued you here" Hiro told him. "Now, surrender"
"I refuse! You won't be able to catch me!" growled Michael as he brought out a Gaia Memory too. His memory has dark blue colour and had clock's hands forming a T for Time. "Time"
A Living Connector Port appeared on the back of his right hand and the male staff inserted the said memory onto it. Instantly, Michael transformed into a monster as well but his form changes everything including his cloth rather than just his body.
Kirito and the rest were terrified to learn that male staff, known as Michael Tabata was a monster too. What was more surprising to them was those Masquerade Dopants had get up to their feet and gathered around that detective. Kirito can tell that these guys want payback for the humiliation at them earlier. "My, my, you wish to settle this by force? You leave me no choice" said Hiro as he briefly strokes his fedora.
The detective then took out a red device called Lost Driver from his clothing with his left hand and wore it on his waist, which transformed into a belt that comes along with the Maximum Slot. Afterwards, the bluenette took out a green Gaia Memory with his right hand and presses the button on it. That memory was glossier than the memories used by Michael and the villains. The name of this was Cyclone and had the letter C that looks like a hurricane in crescent shape from plan view.
"Cyclone" the Gaia Memory said the name and the detective insert it into the memory slot. Afterwards, he slowly brings his left hand forward before clenching it into fist while his right hand was on standby at the Lost Driver.
"Henshin!" Hiro yelled, pushing the memory slot to the right, forming a half W shaped buckle. "Cyclone" the Lost Driver played a technical guitar music after announcing the name of the memory.
Simultaneously, circuit lines and connector ports suddenly become visible on Hiro's face along with a typhoon and many green bits that appeared around the bluenette. Everything pasted on him, changing his form.
Now, Hiro had a green armour from top to bottom, with the torso part being slightly bulky. He had the grasshopper compound eyes in crimson colour as the visor, some silver W-shaped antennae and a black line that makes the overall appearance look symmetrical. Apart from that, he had golden anklets, wristbands and stripes on the torso, which form the shaped of letter 'W'. The stripes are also present on his round shoulder pads. The body of Cyclone had many several lines but the ones around the groins and knees are much closer and repetitive, both in front and behind. Lastly, there is a silver shining muffler hanging around his neck. He had become Kamen Rider Cyclone.
Kirito and the others were now amazed from seeing this detective transformed into a green grasshopper humanlike warrior. Even Time and Masquerades were surprised to witness this as well. The green Kamen Rider then raised his right hand and pointed towards Time.
"Now, count up your sins!" Cyclone told the criminals as he flicked his hand with a gesture that suggest someone to count something. Kirito and the others, especially Shinichi can tell that this detective sure is cool to be saying such awesome lines at a proper time. However, towards the humans who became Dopants, this line is a total insult and it infuriates them.
The Masquerades began charging towards Cyclone all at once. The green Kamen Rider avoids their attacks and countered against them, knocking each away with punches and kicks. This time the battle looks more one sided towards the Cyclone because he had transformed as well.
After finish handling the Masquerades, the green Kamen Rider rushed towards Time, who brings out his pair of clock hands' blades to defend himself. However, Cyclone brings out a weapon of his own, which is a sword.
Like normal swords, the blade part was double sided that he can hit the enemies from any side. It has a black grip with slightly gold lining by the pommel and an empty slot to insert a Gaia Memory from there. The guard has slightly darker colour than the grip and had wings on both sides that formed the shape 'W'. Depending from what angle one views it, the colours of the wings of the left and right sides are purple and green respectively and vice versa. In addition, there was a small pink button with a 'W' logo at the guard centre. This button shall be pressed to initiate a Maximum Drive according to the inserted Gaia Memory. Hiro calls this the W-Sword, an invention he made from knowledge of Gaia Memories and its related weapons.
The green Kamen Rider uses this sword and engage against Time in a sword fight. The stint theme Dopant began cleaving repeatedly against Cyclone, who blocked every swing that came at him. When there is an opening, the green Kamen Rider parried one of Time's swing and then countered by striking the Dopant a few times before delivering a kick towards the enemy, hurling him to 50 metres away.
At that point, Cyclone notices that all the Masquerades gather as a group to attack him again. Looks like they still have the energy to fight. "You guys have no chance of winning. Take out the memory from your bodies" Cyclone ordered. "What?!" a member of team 21 responded.
"Either surrender them to me or destroy them right here. Choose" the green Kamen Rider offered. "Why must we do that?!" another member of the Masquerades questioned. "There's no way to save Masquerade Dopants unless you guys took the memories out yourselves. You guys are citizens from the past. Killing you guys here means changing the future for your descendants and erased them completely. Be cooperative and do what I say. It's for your own good" explained Cyclone. "Don't mess with us! Like we listen to your nonsenses!" the leader of Masquerades barked as he and his group charged towards the green Kamen Rider. "I see" replied Cyclone in disappointment. "Then, you leave me no choice. I will put you guys out of your miseries"
The green Kamen Rider then readied himself to a battle stance as this happens by pretending to sheathe his sword to a scabbard that is on the left side of his waist. The moment, the first Masquerade that arrived was about to land a hit on Cyclone, everything suddenly went standstill for a few seconds.
When the time halt was undone, the green Kamen Rider is now a few metres away from Masquerades, with his sword drawn and pointing forward. Those black Dopants remained stationary during that time. There is not a slight sound made by anyone, not even by nature and everything went silence.
However, the silent moment was broken by the sound of breeze. Then, all the villains, now known as Masquerade Dopants instantly shattered like glass as they yelped, dying.
Kirito and his friends once again, were astonished with Cyclone's fighting style and could not say anything other than awesome. Then, Asuna noticed that Time, who was injured by the green Kamen Rider gets up on his feet and flee towards the base of the mountain. "That guy is fleeing!" she exclaimed.
Cyclone who heard that also notices the stint theme Dopant's attempt to escape and give chase. As for Kirito and his friends, they were curious to see the outcome of this awesome fight and ended up following suit.
After 10 minutes of chasing, they all arrived at the base of the mountain. Time notices that the green Kamen Rider managed to catch up to him. However, the Dopant himself was in no condition to fight, hence he should make a quick retreat. Knowing that in mind, Time use all his might to summon a violet portal, which resulted the size in being larger than usual and immediately entered it.
Cyclone, noticing the culprit had use his last resort immediately plunged into the gateway as well. Kirito and the rest immediately halted their movements from going further. However, the portal suddenly started acting violently like a vacuum cleaner, attempting to suck everything around into it.
Kirito and his friends attempt to stand firm, preventing themselves from getting caught into the portal. Of course, it is a natural action since they do not know what will happen to them if they were to blindly plunge into it. Where they will end up into? Will they manage to find the exit or trapped in there for the rest of their life? Even if they found an exit, will all of them arrived in one piece? There are so many questions with high uncertainties that suggest they must not follow Kamen Rider Cyclone and Time Dopant as this is not worth dying for if it means they get stranded somewhere with no point of return.
Knowing that in mind, they did their best to stay firm but unfortunately the driving force of that portal went completely off the chart. Hence, Kirito and the others ended up flinging towards the portal and entered it.

In the present time at Amanohara City, all the clocks display the time 1:00 pm. At an alleyway, Cyclone managed to corner Time there after a long goose chase. That Dopant got hurled from the green Kamen Rider's punch and currently vulnerable for finishing attack.
"This will clinch it!" Cyclone declared as he brings out the green memory and puts it into the Maximum Slot on his right waist. "Cyclone. Maximum Drive" Kamen Rider Cyclone leapt and formed a backflip as the wind supports the rider in temporarily staying on the air. "Cyclone Kick!" Cyclone presses the button on the Maximum Slot before plunging by pointing both legs towards Time. The wind supports the rider by putting a whirlwind effect around the legs that shapes like a drill and give a push for higher attack output. The attack crashed against the Dopant and causes an explosion.
Afterwards, the Time Memory came out and shattered into pieces while the villain, Michael Tabata fell unconscious on the floor. "You sure are handful. Glad that's over" Cyclone told himself as he negates his transformation, reverting to Hiro. The detective then contacts the police, telling them to come right away and arrest Michael Tabata.
"Um... detective-san" a male voice suddenly called out to the untransformed Kamen Rider that was busy keeping his phone into his cloth after finish making his call. "Yes, how can I help you?" replied Hiro, not even looking at the person calling him before he did it properly after keeping his phone.
Hiro's eyes widen in disbelief that they could fall out from what he saw. Kirito and his friends are in the detective's timeline! Just that statement is more than enough to bring the detective explode if he was a bomb. It was Kirito who called out to him just now. "Oh my" Hiro muttered in surprise, knowing what happen now is totally ugly.
I realised that making a game related event was more difficult so doing something in common sense is much easier to tackle with.
In addition, I do realise that some of W's Gaia Memories are coincidentally like the traits of characters in SAO. Maybe some of them are wrong but I list them out what I think they are:
1.Cyclone – Leafa/Kirigaya Suguha
2.Heat – Klein/Tsuboi Ryotarou
3.Luna – Silica/Keiko Ayano
4.Joker – Kirito/Kirigaya Kazuto or Yuuki/Konno Yuuki?
5.Metal – Lisbeth/Shinozaki Rika
6.Trigger – Sinon/Asada Shino
7.Fang – Asuna/Yuuki Asuna
8.Xtreme – Yui and Strea? I don't know. Only for this memory I could not see any similarities with them or anyone in the story.
So, I ended up imagining Leafa and Kirito transforming or merged as one perhaps into Cyclone Joker, Asuna and Kirito into Fang Joker, and so on. It's hilarious when I think about it though.
As you can see, I put the boys and OC as the main characters, so the girls from SAO are only supporting character here. I guess that's fine because I was planning to make Recon as Accel. Why Recon? I think he was like another Oozora Hiro or something? I don't know. Maybe because he seems like a good character but not emphasised by Kawahara Reki to form deeper relationship with Suguha and the main characters. I mean, there was a little stuff about SAO I figured out that Kirito married ALL his harems, including his cousin Suguha in an accelerated virtual dimension or something. I rather not say that specifically, but I had a feeling that he should and is going to do that since every girl he met all fell for him. Seriously, the author made him a total chick magnet.
I read SAK by Jacob Pendra-Huth and yeah, he made a good arc and role for Recon to fit in, getting along with Leafa and such. I can't remember much unless I reread that story once more. Honestly, I am not interested in that series sequels, only the first one seems to peak my interest because I have no knowledge of whatever anime/game world references he used for the sequel like Precure series or such. So, I thought I want to make Recon shines on his own way, perhaps. Anyway, I will try my best. I'm not interested into Klein and Agil that much so that's why they are not part of the story, only mentioned. Please Rate and Review.
