5Zikan Timension Riders VS Game Heart is getting redone, changing up the world to keep things focused on the riders. With this, the majority of my maintenance should be complete; there's only one story left that I want to alter and that will come very soon. For now, welcome to the Zikan Timension!
Super hero time!
Chrom: Ren, enter the new world! Though, to call it a new world would be a lie!
Ren: A whole new dimension of riders awaits you! As the king of time, their power is yours to claim!
Chrom: Arrival at new dimension complete! Well, not exactly without issue...!
Ren: yeah, same here. Looks like we're going to have a fight on our hands!
C + R: Now it's time! Break the chains!
Gamindustri: a world of joy and peace where both CPUs, the rulers of the land and the makers, who populate it, can create and play games that everyone can enjoy. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or simply starting out for the first time, it is guaranteed that there is something for you to enjoy in this gamer's paradise. The land is split into five, shared between Lady White Heart, who owns Lowee, Lady Black Heart, who owns Lastation, Lady Green Heart, who owns Leanbox, Lady Purple Heart, who owns Planeptune and Lord Game Heart, who owns Genmeer. Between them, no evil has managed to flourish and any threat to Gamindustri's peace has been struck down in the name of their people.
But that may only be said for one dimension. There are countless dimensions that exist across the multiverse, each one with their own villains and heroes battling it out in order to establish their dominance. From the most simple to the downright fantastical, all sorts of legends exist across the multiverse, yet there are some who persist no matter what dimension you visit.
The Kamen riders.
Warriors of justice that fight for what is right no matter the personal cost. Their senses of morals and courage have pushed their existence into every facet of reality. Though terrible evils may try their best to ravage the land, there will always be a kamen rider to fight them back. Even if God or Buddha doesn't exist, one may always believe in Kamen rider.
But not all Kamen riders remain untainted of the force of evil. That is where our story begins, with a new arrival from a land not in the Mightydimension, not in the Creatimension, but a special dimension of conflict still in the process of being born. This special world, trying to be formed, holds the power of the Kamen rider far more than any other no matter what time or space they came from. That dimension…
Is the Zikan Timension.
GAME OVER!
"What? Again?" Pallad groaned as he settled back in the sofa, kicking his legs as Egi let out a cheer. The black haired Doctor had done so many times at this point and it was starting to get on his CPU Candidate's nerves. "What is that then, the tenth time you beat me? I suppose that's why you're the CPU and I'm the CPU Candidate. I'm guessing you want to give it another go then?"
"Maybe in a moment. After all, we've been doing this for a while." Egi dismissed, moving over the window to look over the people. Within the land of Genmeer, it was clear that the people were happy as they went about their everyday lives, perhaps in a way that could be described as a little less advanced than the other nations, but certainly not any less fortunately. While they might not have reached the fantastical levels of Lowee, Genmeer was a more traditional looking area, like a medieval town brought up to a much grander scale, the most advanced looking building being the Basilicom that Egi and Pallad were currently residing in. flicking back his doctor's coat, Egi gave a yawn, stretching out along the window as a cheerful grin appeared on his face. This was the nation he had managed to construct through the assistance of every CPU: a land built by a man who had no place holding as much power as he did. He was grateful for every little piece of cobblestone that formed Genmeer. "Things have been peaceful lately; no grand explosions rocking the place, no huge monsters causing a ruckus, no crazy dimension warping machines to come crashing down on my balcony."
T-TI-TIME M-MA-MAZ-I-INE!
"…Eh?" the man didn't know how to react when a sudden portal opened in the air directly above them, spitting out a black and white vehicle that careened in the air without direction. It was clearly damaged with the amount of acrid smoke and sparks flying from its body and if it continued the way that it did, then its landing point would be…! "Pallad, get ready! We're heading to the balcony!"
"What?" the CPU Candidate spluttered, falling off the sofa in his confusion. Rather than attempt to get back up however, a digital static appearing over his body before he disappeared completely from sight. His teleportation was an easy form of transportation, one that Pallad often used to mess with whoever he wanted whenever he wanted and if it weren't for the fact that Egi's equipment allowed him to do a similar teleportation trick, the Doctor would've been more annoyed. As it was however, Egi dusted off his jeans and black t shirt, running out after Pallad.
"What… is that thing?" a girl muttered, holding her arm before her face as a red scarf fluttered in the wind generated. Toei, the oracle of Genmeer, had simply been relaxing outside and going through some kata when an explosion in the air drew her attention upwards, a giant machine of sorts halfway through destruction zooming out and desperately flying about. There was no doubt that many of the people below were looking up in the exact same way, Egi and Pallad appearing by her side. Well, Pallad appeared by her side. Egi was panting slightly as he ran from within the Basilicom. "You guys, any clue?"
"Nope, but DODGE!" the doctor yelled, throwing himself over the oracle as she let out a small screech. The sound of an explosion far too close to home (most likely because it was literally on his home) caused an intense ringing to fill his ears, Egi shaking his head as he hesitantly lifted himself up. When he did, he was greeted to the sight of smoke and a completely shattered balcony, only a small portion remaining to hold a black bodysuit clad figure on the ground. Blond hair was covered in mud and dust, green eyes scanning the area cautiously, but that wasn't what gained Egi's attention. No, it was the white belt buckle that sat upon the new arrival's waist, looking eerily similar to a form of driver… "State your intentions! This is the nation of Genmeer and you have callously landed against the Genmeer Basilicom! Speak, or have your actions considered an attack!"
"…You said this was Genmeer right?" the intruder muttered, steel in his eyes as he rose to his full height. There was something inherently wrong with that look, something that made Egi reach into his inventory and pull out the neon green driver that had managed to bring him this far. Placing it at his waist, the doctor tightened his stance, giving a curt nod. "Then that driver, the Gamer driver… You are Kamen rider Game Heart."
"…I am Kamen rider Ex-aid, Lord Game Heart of Genmeer. I ask again, what are your intentions?" Egi spoke. In all honesty, it was kind of exhausting keeping up the whole government official thing, it was a far cry from his time when he was but a simple paediatrician, but it was necessary as a CPU. The response wasn't what he expected however, Egi, Pallad and Toei glancing to the strange watch like item that entered the intruder's hand. Before any could question it however, the white front face was rotated with a flick of the thumb, a helmet's face revealed as the white button on the top was pressed.
ZI-O!
"No matter how you phrase it, you are Kamen rider Game Heart. That means you are my target." The intruder declared, a ferocity entering his voice as he swung his arm out to the right. His eyes almost seemed to glow as he did so, spitting out the next part of his speech. "This world has no need for the likes of Kamen riders like you. Henshin!"
In a single move, the intruder slammed the watch onto the right hand port of his driver. An arrow travelled across the belt's screen from left to right in multiple colours, the same colours forming a quartet of clock faces that spun as he pressed a button on the top to release the latch. As a massive clock began to appear in the air behind him, silver hands ticking away as it spun anticlockwise, a firm push on the top of the right had the entire belt spin 360 degrees along with what seemed like the entire world. An ominous clock chime filled the air as a pink and black light blinded the three guardians of Genmeer.
RIDER TIME!
KAMEN RIDER! ZI-O!
When they got their vision back, it was to be greeted by a mostly black silhouette with pink and silver dotted around the arms, gloves, trousers and chest plate as several rings of black and pink burst away from the intruder's body. The large draw of the suit was the huge band of silver that came down his front, paired with the white faced helmet dotted in a particular way with two uneven antennae acting as clock hands to give the impression of a person wearing a watch, complete with an ear piece moulded to look like a watch dial. The visor was the oddest part about him, the symbols done in pink within producing the word 'rider' in katakana having come from the clock that formed before as well as the antenna, much smaller katakana reading as 'Kamen' upon his forehead over the pink gem between the clock hands.
ZIKAN GILADE!
"My name is Chrom, the last good Kamen rider: Kamen rider Zi-O! Prepare yourself!" and with that battle cry, symbols flew from his driver to form a sword of black, the pink katakana upon the side spelling out sword as the blade attempted to cut Egi in two. If it weren't for his quick dodge, his body would've been completely bisected, the doctor falling back in order to keep his head firmly attached to his body.
"Okay then, actual attack. Never thought that part of the speech would actually occur!" Egi gasped as he rolled out of the way of another strike, only Toei's boot to the face as the oracle dashed off preventing any further attacks from Zi-O. As fast as he could possibly hope to go, Egi reached into his pocket, pulling out the pink cartridge held within and letting his finger hover above the button. "Pallad, Toei, make sure that no one gets harmed by the vehicle! It's time we finished this with no continues!"
MIGHTY ACTION X!
And as the black button was pushed, the top half of the cartridge took on a pink glow, a wave of similarly coloured energy spreading across all of the surrounding area. A screen pulsed to life behind him, an action game's title screen shown as it spat out several chocolate coloured blocks. Even as far away as he was, the doctor could hear the confused voices of the audience below as they gazed upon the blocks that now floated through the air, even the villain pausing to try and comprehend his surroundings. It wasn't just for show however, the doctor throwing his right arm out to the left and swinging them around, a quick twist of his hands having the cartridge upside down as he yelled out, the cartridge entering the first slot upon his belt as his other hand opened the pink lever on the front.
"Dai-Henshin!"
GASHAT!
GACHAA! LEVEL UP!
MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY-MIGHTY ACTION! X!
As soon as the game cartridge was plugged in and the lever thrown wide, a pink hologram grew to life size in the air before the doctor, several portraits beginning to form a circle around him. a quick hand lashing out slammed into one of the portraits, the other images disappearing as a pink haired face looked back at the man, both hologram and portrait falling back to completely transform the doctor. No longer was there a simple combo of a yellow shirt and red jeans, instead replaced with a pink bodysuit with a chest piece reminiscent of a fighting game HUD, complete with a life bar. Three spikes of 'hair' jutted out from his helmet, white goggles with an emerald inset in the forehead surrounding glowing eyes of orange, neon green shoes bouncing from foot to foot as an eye-less face appeared upon his back.
GASHACON BREAKER!
Blade met hammer when the declaration filled the air, a pink hero leaping through the sky from block to block. The enemy Kamen rider wasn't fast enough to react against one who so easily eclipsed him in agility, struggling to dodge the strikes from a white bodied hammer. Each hit caused a hologram to appear in the air, the word 'hit' emblazoned in proud font with every landing blow. It was a power that had easily become famous in Genmeer, the power that served as a symbol that separated Lord Game Heart from every over CPU save for the obvious difference in gender.
JAKIIN!
"Who are you!?" but Ex-aid's call would be ignored as the armoured warrior slammed his hand on the pink A button on the side of his weapon, a pure white blade appearing from within wreathed in magenta flame to stop the sword that was held within Zi-O's hands. That wasn't the only button available to Ex-aid however, for three rapid presses of the green B button right next to it caused energy to gather at the blade, one strike causing a trio of hit signs to appear and just as much pain to shoot through the opponent.
JUU!
However, the next time that the Gashacon Breaker slammed against the Zikan Gilade, it would not result in a deadlock as it had done so before. Instead, the entire blade began to rotate backwards, the katakana upon the weapon morphing until it read 'gun' and revealed a barrel that let loose directly into Ex-aid, the Kamen rider flying back. Fortunately, the chocolate blocks floating within the air made for the perfect platform for the action gamer to anchor himself to, standing atop of the game item with a grunt. After making amends with Pallad, he had almost forgotten how much it hurt to fight another Kamen rider.
TIME CHARGE!
GO!
YON!
SAN!
NI!
ICHI!
ZERO TIME!
ZURE-ZURE UCHI!
"What?" unseen behind his helmet, Egi's eyes widened as he leapt away, Zi-O having slammed the button above a circular slot to charge the Zikan Gilade with energy. By the time that the countdown had completed, Ex-aid had already leapt off his precarious platform, multiple bullets of kanji impacting the surrounding chocolate boxes until nothing remained of the, or at least that was what Zi-O believed at first. If the enemy had been expecting anything to come from those blocks, it most certainly hadn't been the medal like items that flew out into the open air.
"Nice! Item get!" with such an opportunity offered to him, the action gamer would've been a fool to turn down the free energy items that appeared. Leaping high, there was no stopping the pink blur as he dashed straight into the medals, each one easily absorbed into his body as his belt processed the powers held within and made its declarations.
SHINSHUKU-KA!
BUNSHIN!
KOSOKU-KA!
"…An interesting tactic." Where once a single hero stood, several pink figures suddenly appeared out of the original's body, perfectly mirroring his movements as he leapt into the air. Kamen rider Zi-O's first thought was to shoot them all down, but inhumane speed and stretchiness meant that the mysterious intruder was immediately under assault by a multitude of legs stretching beyond normal capacity. The force pushing back the enemy rider, a triumphant cheer came from the army of heroes as they slowly but surely returned to one, Ex-aid dusting off his hands while the villain tried to clamber to his feet. "…But I'm not beaten."
GASHUUN!
"Then how about we end this?" the pink hero suggested, pulling out the cartridge in his belt and looking down the connector, giving it a quick blow as he placed it to his side. A special slot caught the cartridge, lighting up in pink as the warrior pressed the button on it twice, taking on a more combat ready stance as the voice called out. "If we're going to finish, might as well finish in style! Let's make it a full on combo!"
GASHAT!
KIMEWAZA!
MIGHTY CRITICAL STRIKE!
Wild tendrils of pink and green energy began to fluctuate around the unknown hero, gathering upon his foot with an immense fury. The jump forward met Zi-O's desperate fist as they both released a cry, the first kick powered by energy sending the appendage flying off the side as the enemy rider cursed. That wasn't the only attack however, for several more kicks formed a deadly combo, each one forming a bigger and bigger hit sign before the term changed to 'great', then 'perfect' as ninety nine strikes landed. With such a violent final blow, there was no way that even a Kamen rider like his opponent was going to escape scotch free, shrinking down to a more humane size as the pink hero fell to the ground.
KAISHIN NO IPPATSU!
GAME CLEAR!
"There, now that business has concluded, you can explain why you've decided to attack my Basilicom, destroy my property and then attempt to assault me." Ex-aid stated as he walked over to the downed rider, pink energy covering his form before the blond boy remained untransformed. There wasn't an immediate reply, the intruder making it up to his knee before he remained, panting. "You said your name was Chrom, right? The last good Kamen rider? What makes you say that?"
"…You talk too much." Came the bitter reply, the pink rider giving a shrug in return.
"I'm trying to keep things light considering how much damage is surrounding me. You'll be surprised how hard it is to keep myself from angrily beating you to the ground and throwing you in the dungeon for endangering so many people." Ex-aid retorted, holding out a hand to help the injured boy up. With only a moment's hesitation, looking to the gloved hand, it was slowly accepted, Ex-aid giving a small grunt of approval as he did so. That changed quickly into one of pain however as another of the watches the boy had used to transform found itself jammed into his chest, the rider's eyes widening. It was as if the very world was fluctuating before his very eyes, reality distorting for a moment before all was clear once more – and the doctor found himself looking at bare hands, his armour no longer anywhere to be found. The time for geniality was gone. "What did you do with my power?"
EX-AID!
GAME NO CHIKARA DE TATAGAU DOCTOR RIDER WA… EX-AID DA!
"The Power of Ex-aid is mine… your purpose is achieved." The black watch morphed within Chrom's hand, a flash of light having the body turn neon green while the top button and face turned bright pink. A turn of the face revealed the Ex-aid helmet bright and clear, Egi's eyes narrowing; somehow, he had managed to steal Egi's power and take it for himself. Without hesitation, the blond boy backhanded Egi, the doctor reeling back as Chrom drew the Zi-O watch once more, a new determination entering his stance. "With this power, I will finally be able to defeat the core of this evil once and for all! Henshin!"
ZI-O!
EX-AID!
RIDER TIME!
KAMEN RIDER! ZI-O!
ARMOUR TIME!
LEVEL UP! EX-AID!
As bands of light once more surrounded Chrom and transformed him into Kamen rider Zi-O, everything appeared to be the same at first. However, once the base transformation had been completed, a holographic gashat appeared in the air, containing within what appeared to be a sentient set of armour that pulled a pose Egi distinctly recalled as being one of his own before it split apart with a kick from the rider. Those pieces however suddenly began to fall back in on Zi-O, slamming themselves onto his body as silver armour decorated a large amount of his suit, save for pink with black lines upon the thighs and the same game HUD as Ex-aid upon his chest. A pair of label-less gashats formed the shoulder pads, giant Gashacon Breaker styled hammers taking their place upon his arms as goggle outlines and a silver mouthpiece planted itself upon Zi-O's helmet along with three familiar spikes of pink hair. The transformation was completed however when the katakana fell upon his face, no longer spelling rider, but 'Ex-aid'. With something as blatant as that, there was no denying it. Zi-O was facing Egi using his own power.
Without the ability to transform, there was no need to stretch it out needlessly, the rider pressing the buttons on the top of his watches followed by the latch on his driver, the screen glowing pink as its voice called out.
FINISH TIME!
EX-AID!
CRITICAL TIME BREAK!
With a firm rotation of his driver, Zi-O leapt into the air, slamming back down with a shock wave that blew Egi into the wall. While it may have been an imitation born of his power, there was something inherently wrong with, as could be seen by how the hit signs were produced with katakana instead of English and it made the doctor sick. However, without the ability to transform, all he could do was wipe the blood away from his lip as the rider leapt away, producing chocolate blocks beneath his feet to keep him in the air. There was only one choice left at that point, Egi painfully moving himself so he could reach his phone and call one of the most used contacts.
"…Hey Bauen? Yeah, I could use your help."
"You're joking, right? …Fine, I'll be there as soon as possible." A grizzled old man replied, hanging up the call with a withered sigh. Adjusting the bandolier over his leather jacket, Bauen turned to the others within the laboratory, a sternness entering his voice that had made the inventor so feared by those of the Genmeer development labs. "Listen up, there's been a major disturbance near the Basilicom and I've been called into action. When I come back, I expect to see you lot actually getting something done, you hear me!?"
"Yes sir!"
"Good!" with determination, Bauen stepped out, rubbing a hand upon his stubble covered chin as he held up the Build phone. The things he had heard seemed ridiculous; for someone to steal power at such a rapid rate, it would require an incredibly amount of technological advancement and testing. For this strange intruder to have somehow managed to perfect the technology and place into such a small vessel was insane. With a small lion faced bottle of gold in his hand, Bauen gave it a shake before sliding it into the slot on his phone, throwing out the mobile as it rapidly grew to a far larger size, unfolding and transforming in a manner of seconds.
BUILD CHANGE!
No longer was there a phone, but an actual motorcycle of crimson, Bauen slipping on and revving the engines before he bolted off towards the Basilicom. It wasn't an unfamiliar sight, not in Genmeer; when your most powerful figurehead utilised a motorbike, it was bound to become popular and recent developments had made the engines of such vehicles far quieter. If there was one thing that was always known when it came to motorbikes however, it was that if you saw Bauen going fast, you immediately gave way – the only times he had went at such extreme speeds were when there was a major issue, usually involving multiple explosions.
Before he could make it to the building, watching the smoke enter the air with a large crowd gathering around what could only be the vehicle his CPU spoke of, Bauen was forced to a swift stop, narrowly avoiding the chocolate block that was punched in his direction. With a growl, the scientist turned up, seeing a Kamen rider who most certainly was not Kamen rider Ex-aid looking down from the rooftops, jumping down with a soft grunt. A black driver entered the old man's hands, a yellow belt wrapping around his waist as he cracked his knuckles.
"So you're the one who made this mess, Kamen rider Zi-O? I'm the cleaner." Bauen muttered, looking to the rider as Zi-O lowered into a combat stance. With the odd hair and giant hammers, it was hard to take the appearance of his enemy as seriously as Bauen would've liked, but all it took was one glance over to the rubble and scrap metal before Bauen remembered just how much of a threat someone of that appearance was. A pair of bottles, red and blue bearing the image of a rabbit and tank appeared in his hands, a furious shake and a twist of their caps having them prepared as they were slotted upside down into the old man's belt.
RABBIT!
TANK!
BEST MATCH!
As the lever on the side of Bauen's driver rotated, a pair of pipes shot out from the front filled with navy and blood red liquids, twisting and turning into vaguely humanoid shapes as the snap builder established itself around the old man like barrier. No matter how Zi-O punched or struck the snap builder, there was no sign of even a scratch as the liquids solidified into two halves of armour, connected to the snap builder as Bauen yelled.
ARE YOU READY!?
"Henshin!"
HAGANE NO MOONSAULT! RABBIT-TANK! YEAH!
With that cry, the elderly man was covered in a black body suit, the two halves in front and behind him coming together upon it to form diagonal strips upon his body. His left hand was covered in blue armour to contrast the glowing crimson that covered his left. The opposite was true for his legs, with the addition of a white spiral around the red leg, the left. His chest piece was the same, with red being on top and blue underneath, but the helmet, covering a similar pattern was a small bit more interesting. Two compound eyes looked forward, the right in blue and the left in red, but it was the shape that intrigued. While they both had antenna, the right had it in the shape of a tank barrel, while the other had the ear of a rabbit, a simple eye and nose added to the left eye just for fun.
With a drill in hand, Kamen rider Build shot forward, striking Zi-O's heart before he even had the chance to think about dodging, the half and half rider treating it like a sword as a slash had the opposing rider reeling back with his heels digging into the ground.
"…Kamen rider Build confirmed. Your power's not necessary but it will be useful." Zi-O muttered, lashing out with his hammers. He might not have been able to call upon the same levels of speed that Build did, but that didn't mean that he was defenceless, a number of hit signs appearing over Build's body as shattered pieces of road slammed into him. With a cry, pink energy began to charge at his core before Zi-O suddenly flung his arms out and a wave momentarily pixelated the world. That wasn't the only thing it did however, Build giving a small scoff as his enemy leapt up onto the chocolate blocks that were respawned.
"If you think that's all you need to beat me, you're wrong!" Build growled as the spiral upon his left leg suddenly began to tense up, the spring adding an incredible amount of strength behind his leap as he met Zi-O with a punch. The people nearby fled into whatever shelter they could as they saw the two riders jumping from platform to platform, sparks flying from their armours in equal measure before they landed once more upon the ground. There was no words between them as they exchanged thoughts without words, Zi-O reaching for the buttons on his driver while Build cranked his lever once more, the same mechanical clanking noise filling the air alongside the sound of a clock ticking.
FINISH TIME!
ZI-O!
CRITICAL TIME BREAK!
READY? GO!
VORTEX FINISH! YEAH!
As Build leapt up to land atop the new graph he had summoned from thin air, Zi-O looked to the letters that formed his announcement, batting them off the page and reeling back his hand. Punching them forward, Bauen was forced to swerve and dive as he kicked along the graph, the tank treads beneath his right shoe gaining in speed with every step closer he got. Even with a relentless assault however, there was only so many letters for Zi-O to launch, eventually running out of power as Build's kick collided in a fierce shower of sparks, several explosions rocked the watch using rider as he fell back, a flash of pink light removing the Ex-aid armour to reveal the clock theme beneath.
What Build had not been expecting was the hand that gripped the foot he had kicked with, an iron hold preventing the inventor from moving it at all as Zi-O knocked him off his feet. No matter how bruised and beaten he was, Zi-O showed no hesitation as he forced Build onto his back, slamming another black watch onto Build's chest and watching the red and blue power siphon off. The armour split apart before dissolving off Bauen's body, the old man still trying his best to throw a punch and try to take the watch back. Without his rider powers however, it was all for nought.
"Pitiful. An old man can no longer be a rider." Zi-O muttered, turning away before a gunshot in the back of his head snapped it forward. Turning slowly to see the old man wielding the drillcrusher, the drill section placed in a different port to form a gun, the rider gave a small sound of confusion. "You're still able to use your weapon?"
"The drillcrusher was built independently of my powers as Build. That means when rude little riders like you try to steal my power, I still have a little trick up my sleeve." Bauen replied, firing like a mad man in Zi-O's direction, the rider jumping back as several new holes were formed in a building's wall. It was the perfect distraction for the old man to quite literally body tackle Zi-O, only to be thrown into a wall as the time rider dusted himself off. With a grunt, Zi-O threw his hand up, Bauen cursing as several screens began rotating above the rider's head.
STAGE SELECT!
"My apologies, but I already have all I require. As soon as I can repair my Time Mazine, I will return to my dimension. A world at peace like this… no longer needs Kamen riders like my own." Was the last thing that Bauen heard before his enemy's form dissipated completely, leaving not a trace behind save for the destruction that his actions had wrought. His words were alarming as he returned to his motorbike, leading it towards the wreckage that was sitting before it where Egi, Pallad and Toei were observing the vehicle with intrigue.
"I'm guessing that he managed to get away then?" Egi muttered, leaning against the side of the machine. Bauen's look was all that was needed. "Someone who is capable of stealing the power of Kamen riders… I never even knew such a thing was possible."
"Well he claimed that all he needed to do now was return to his own dimension, using a Time Mazine - which is probably what this contraption is." Bauen answered, running a hand along the cooling metal. It certainly would be an interesting machine to dissect – nothing they had managed to create came anywhere close to crossing dimensions and if that was what the Time Mazine was capable of, then it would be an incredible leap in development. "From what I can gather. He will be desiring to take this machine and repair it – that's going to require a lot of materials. You might want to watch out for raids; that Zi-O kid doesn't seem to care about what happens to this dimension, not if he's making this much of a mess."
"Our best choice of action at this point would be to confiscate this 'Time Mazine' and place it under high security." Toei muttered, the girl's scarf fluttering in the wind as she folded her arms. "Only issue is, making sure we have something that can defend against another assault from that kid. I mean, my fighting skill ain't exactly rusty, but I can only last so long and our defences are the same."
"Leave that to me. After all, he may have taken Egi's power, but not mine." Pallad declared, holding a grin on his face as he held up a thick blue gashat with a yellow dial on the front. Tossing it up and down casually, the CPU Candidate of Genmeer began to circle the Time Mazine, jumping up to sit on its roof. "He didn't think that beating the bosses of this game would be so easy, right? Every leader has their dragon to protect them and I could use the excitement. My heart's dancing!"
"But still, a CPU who cannot access their power… what am I meant to do?" Egi muttered, a navy sparkling gashat in his hands. No matter how much he tried, no reaction came from pressing the button and even if he placed it into his driver, there wasn't any sort of response remotely close to what it would normally do. "I thought it might've only taken the power of Mighty Action X, but it really has taken the power of 'Ex-aid'. How am I meant to act as a proper CPU without access to my abilities?"
"How does that even work anyway? After all, your powers work on technology right?" Toei questioned with her fingers to her chin. "If it were just disabling the machinery, then I bet I could whip up something else to act as a replacement during the time being, but if that rider's also able to use the powers, then I feel like there's something more to it."
"I do not have an immediate answer – my first thoughts are that it targets the unique power sources that allow our technoplogy to function as it does – the special Nebula Gas that powers my fullbottles and the biological strain that fuels the gashats." Bauen mused, pacing back and forth as he did so. If Zi-O were able to remove those power sources and use them himself, then it would be reasonable for us to assume that it would grant him access to powers that were similar to our own. However, in order to find out the truth, I'll need to conduct a lot more research."
"And how do you plan to do that? It's not as if he's just going to let us access his gear and there's only so much we can do to coax him out." Pallad reasoned; sure, he was in shape to battle him and there were others he could call upon that would be able to help, but that didn't mean they would be able to easily find where he was hiding. A small smile appearing on Bauen's face was not the reaction that they had been expecting, the old man rubbing his hands together as he reached into his fading leather jacket's pocket.
"No, we won't be able to easily draw him out – we'll have to hope that the desire to return to his home dimension will be enough to make him attack." Bauen conceded, pulling out something that had all three of the others gasping. "However, in the meantime, I'll be able to conduct as much research on this. I was able to steal it while I tackled him, he doesn't know that he lost it."
The green and pink watch shone in the light, the face clearly showing the year 2016 and a symbol of Ex-aid's face between the parts that would rotate to form the helmet.
"I present to you, one Ex-aid watch."
