KoutaMamba24: Two words. Bad ass.
Nanairo the Keyblade Samurai: You don't have to wait long now.
Magic Detective: You're not quite right. It does need two people for the RideWatch to work. And yes, Ryu is Dad of the Year.
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: *Jazz trumpet plays in the background*
HackerEX: Of course, if we didn't it'd be weird...and the W Chapter would be too bloated.
ChaosSonic1: Hey, you got it. ...Oh boy.
MKDemigodZ-Warrior: Well, the other Another Riders were more primal and didn't have a handle on the different forms, but since it's two people using a broken RideWatch...yeah, things go crazy.
Bastion Lightz: Yeah, Grey got me into the Manga so I know who these people were.
Here are some reviews from our own GreyKing46:
Bastion Lightz: It is Double. All of their episodes where two partners because of their theme is 2. Besides the final episode since there was only Joker.
The Double Manga is brilliant and does lots of insanely awesome stuff. If only it was more translated, I've been following it raw
KRNexus: Yeah. I feel like they should have changed his eye colour as well to further show the difference in forms.
Missingmoney: Dude, we are nowhere near half way through the story. They are just getting the RideWatches a lot faster than in cannon because every episode is not a two parter
Also what other questions are there? At the moment all they know is the Time Jackers are creating Another Rider's in hopes of making one strong enough to stop Oma Zi-O. The heroes have no reason to think there is more
MKDemigodZ-Warrior: Trust us. That will be happening more.
UltraRiderSenshiChronix: No
Dragon Rider 66: That is because only up to chapter 10 or so HAS been translated. Genm Corp got lazy and decided to stop translating it at around that point and didn't start it up again until the quarantine situation started. I've been reading it RAW
HackerEX: Well considering how Double is, it'd be stupid not to do a two parter. Also, until we have any sort of confirmation (such as the Double Riders returning and revealing that none of the events have happened) then it can be considered cannon
Shooting Star Dragon 3000: SSD. Toei would have had to DO Double for us to do it better. *smirks*
Magic Detective: Thank Drive Saga Chaser for that.
merendinoemiliano: Too focused on romantic parts? They are teenagers in their first relationship after a sixteen chapter build up to them getting together. I feel like we had to focus on it a bit to see how their interactions have changed and how the status quo has been changed
c17KoutaMamba24: Bloody awesome.

Kamen Rider Zi-O Revised
W part 2: W Legacy- Count Your Sins, Double
Co-Writer GreyKing46
We do not own these characters. All rights belong to Shotaro Ishinomori, Ishimori Productions and Toei Company
We arrive back at the fight in Fuuto. One between Kamen Rider Joker, Shoutaro Hidari.
Another Double, the dark counterpart of the hero.
And Kamen Rider Zi-O, Sougo Tokiwa. However, Sougo tried to use his recently acquired 'Double RideWatch', but there was a problem; the RideWatch shattered when Sougo tried to use it, causing him dangerous feedback and didn't transform him
"What happened?" Sougo blinked
"Zi-O, get out of here!" Kamen Rider Joker called out as he held a metal pole in his hand.
"bReAk. zI-o!" Another Double jerked and tried to attack.
CLANG!
Suddenly a small black mechanical bird came flying in, racing at Another Double
"Tori." Joker spoke and ran to Sougo, to help him up. "Tokime, let's go!"
"What?" Sougo blinked "What is that?!"
"A friend of ours, saving our butts. Let's go!" Shoutaro answered as he rushed over and grabbed Tokime, holding her in his arms.
Sougo tried to hobble away, since he was still feeling the effects of the broken RideWatch. He didn't understand what he did wrong.
Joker pulled out a purple Gaia Memory with an N on it, the N stylised like a shuriken. He inserted it into his hip slot and slammed the button
NINJA! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
Joker was surrounded by smoke as he rushed at Sougo, when the smoke faded away the three were gone.
Another Double roared and was stopped by 'Tori' who had flown off, seeing that he couldn't do any more damage at the site, no more people...the Another Rider roared in anger. "hIdArI!"
*time skip*
Shoutaro had brought Sougo and Tokime back to the Narumi Detective Agency, Sougo landing on the floor in pain after the adrenalin had left his system.
"Sougo!" Tsuki panicked
"What the hell happened?" Geiz asked as he saw him.
"He tried the RideWatch." Shoutaro sighed
"The Ride-? The one that wasn't right?" Geiz asked
"Yeah; that one." Shoutaro answered "It... Exploded or something."
"Was...Was it like a 'shatter' sort of thing?" Geiz asked
"Yeah, sorta like that." He nodded
Tsuki was sitting down and holding Sougo's hand nervously. She didn't want him to be hurt.
"Sougo..." she whispered, rubbing his hair softly
This was actually the first time...he was actually hurt. By a technicality.
"Can you show me what he uses?" Phillip asked
"What do you mean?" Geiz asked
"Your...devices. What you use to transform." Phillip asked, trying to think of the word of their gadgets.
"The RideWatches?" Geiz asked, showing his own while passing over a blank one.
"May I see them?" Phillip asked
"Sure." Geiz answered, passing them over.
In Phillip's hand, the blank RideWatch began to glow green and transform the faceplate and button of the blank RideWatch.
Double...
"That's it. It made that same sound from before. But it's different." Shoutaro pointed "Only it changed the base bit..."
"Fascinating."
"You two never fail to amuse." Tsukasa commented
"GAH!" The two jumped in shock.
'Oh god...Not now.' Geiz thought in annoyance.
"Tsukasa? When-? No...Stupid question." Shoutaro began to ask, only to stop. "How you doin' man?" Shoutaro smiled
"It's good to see you, Decade." Phillip nodded happily
...
"Huh?!" the time riders gasped
"You actually like this guy?" Geiz asked
"Yeah, he's okay." Phillip answered
"He's cool." Shou nodded
The three Time Riders looked at each other and sighed heavily. If they liked him...What did that say about the other Riders?
"The first nine all tried to kill me, no big deal." Decade waved off "I came to give you a heads up. There is a massive storm building outside."
"I know, that 'Another Double'. But the problem is, we can't access our full power." Shoutaro answered.
...
"No. I mean a literal storm is building." Tsukasa commented
"Huh?!" The group asked before they went outside, except for Sougo who was still incapacitated.
Outside the agency, they felt the winds whipping up. A terrible storm was brewing, causing a near typhoon to be made.
Sure said storm was only just forming. If they all knew it was going to be massive
"Another Double. He's making this." Shoutaro deducted, knowing the monster he just fought.
"Well good luck. I need to look after the students." Tsukasa nodded and walked away
The group nodded as they looked at the storm, terrified that it could blow Fuuto off the map. "This isn't going to work." Phillip said.
"Sorry?" Geiz asked
"This." He answered, showing the green faceplate RideWatch. "It won't work for us." He threw it away casually, looking at the storm "I'll go on ahead." he commented as the black bird returned and Phillip turned into green partials of light, flying into the machine as it flew off
Geiz's and Tsuki's eyes widened as their jaws dropped in shock. "Wh-what? How? How did that-?"
"Huh?" Tsuki followed up
"It's a long story." Shoutaro answered as he looked at his Joker Memory
"But what're we going to do? If the RideWatches won't work this time; how're we going to beat 'Another Double'?" Geiz asked, trying to think of what he could do.
"... Why... Aren't the RideWatch's working?" Sougo asked as he walked out the agency
"Sougo, what're you doing up? You're still hurt." Tsuki spoke as she helped him up.
"I'm not sure. But you're still in no condition to fight." Shoutaro answered
"... But people need help." Sougo frowned
"You're sure? You're willing to go that step?" Shoutaro asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yes." Sougo said confidently
Shoutaro chuckled and patted his shoulder. "Good."
"Huh?!" Geiz gasped
"What?! No, you're not going!" Tsuki called as she grabbed his arm
"Are you two going to help take his place then?" Shoutaro asked
"Tsuki. I have to." Sougo said softly
The two looked at Sougo and nodded, this would have to be done. "Alright...But I'm coming with you." Tsuki answered
"You're not going to be on your own." Geiz added as he grabbed his belt.
Shoutaro nodded and typed a few buttons on his phone, a large black... Tank of a vehicle racing up beside them
"HOLY MOLEY!" Geiz gasped as he saw it.
"It's the only way to get around." Shoutaro answered, "Meet the RevolGarry."
"Hello, RevolGarry." Sougo waved in shock and impressed.
*time skip*
Another Double was on the top of one of Fuuto's buildings, swirling his metal spear over his head, causing the starts of the storm.
"My my. This is interesting." Phillip commented as he walked up behind the Another Rider
"HuH? WhO ArE YoU?" Another Double jerked as he stopped the storm briefly
"Sonozaki Righto, also known as Phillip. Half of the two-in-one Kamen Rider you are pretending to be." Phillip introduced himself as the black bird returned and green data flowed into Phillip's hand
"KaMeN RiDeR?" Another Double growled as he saw Phillip. "WhAt'S tHaT?"
Appearing in Phillip's hand was a sleek black /grey longsword with a green blade
In Phillip's hand he pulled out a green GaiaMemory with a stylised 'C' on it.
CYCLONE!
"WhErE dId yOu?!" Another Double snapped as Phillip inserted it into the sword.
"Henshin." Phillip said as he slotted the Memory into the base of the sword, pressing the red button on its hilt.
The winds of Fuuto rushed around Phillip and formed around his body, a full green costume with red eyes and a silver 'W' crest on his head, with yellow markings on his chest, wrist and ankles.
"D-dOuBlE?!" Another Double gasped
"Not exactly." Phillip answered. "I am Kamen Rider Cyclone." He greeted and span the sword lightly before he rushed forward with the speed of the wind and with the wind at his back, Phillip was faster than Another Double by a great deal.
The two Doubles struck each other, slashing with the wrought metal spear and the strange sword that Phillip had. Phillip could see the moves that the Another Double was doing, wild and unfocused, due to his years as a Kamen Rider, Phillip had the advantage, but he wasn't the strongest fighter.
Luckily...
JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
"RIDER KICK!" Kamen Rider Joker yelled as he came flying in, kicking Another Double in the head
Another Double screamed as he was kicked away, rolling onto the ground in pain and let up on the storm-creation.
"You took your time, Shoutaro." Phillip smiled
"Sorry partner, there was traffic." Shou smirked as he stood behind the green Rider and flicked his wrist "Let's do this."
"Yeah." Phillip nodded. The two stood near back to back, extending their arms to point at the Another Rider
"Now. Count up your sins!" the two called
"SiNs? SiNs?! YoUr SiNs!" Another Double roared and pointed at them.
The three rushed into battle, Cyclone and Joker moving as one
Phillip's slash with the sword, while Shoutaro's punches swung and connected into the sides of Another Double, connecting right into the stitched face and side.
They moved as one. Ducking, dodging and striking. Swurving around each other's attacks and working like they where one mind
Another Double struggled and was sparking as he was getting beaten down, he couldn't keep up.
hEaT!
"Huh?" Phillip and Shoutaro gasped in shock, pushing back as Another Double erupted in flames.
They flinched and were sent flying back by a large blast of flames
"He's strong." Shoutaro frowned as he got up with Phillip.
"Yes and I'm only guessing he'll get stronger." Phillip added
"Yeah, but we can deal with him. We've faced tougher before." Shou nodded
"BuRn! BuRn! BURN!" Another Double roared as he shot out even more devastating heat.
The two jumped back, frowning.
GEIZ! WIZARD! DUEL TIME BREAK!
Suddenly a wave of water flew through the air and hit Another Double, dousing the flames
"ArGh!" Another Double roared as Sougo landed next to the true Double duo in his Decade armour, wielding the Heisaber in his hand with the Wizard logo pointed.
"Sorry. I'm. Late." Sougo panted holding his side
He gripped the blade, holding it ready.
"Another form?" Phillip asked in wonder
"Yeah, I heard that from Ryu." Shoutaro answered
"NeW... sTuDaNt?" Another Double hissed
"New student?" Shoutaro frowned
"This is bad." Philip frowned as he saw the storm was beginning to pick up, like it was connected to Another Double's very soul
"HaTe YoU! kIlL yOu!" Another Double roared in rage
PrIsM!
"Uh oh..." Phillip and Shoutaro blinked as a rainbow light surrounded Another Double
"We need to stop him! Now!" Shoutaro called
"Right!" Sougo nodded as he spun hands on the HeiSaber
HEY! DOUBLE!
JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
CYCLONE! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
"Rider Slash!" Phillip called as he slashed the blade, launching a wave of green wind from his sword
"Rider Shot!" Shou called as he jumped into the air and kicked, launching a shock wave from his foot made of purple energy
"HA!" Sougo called as he slashed his blade, the three energies racing at Another Double... As he unleashed a massive shock wave of rainbow light
The three powerful attacks coming from the heroes connected onto Another Double, causing his 'Prism' attack to be blocked, almost cancelling out.
Black rain started to fall, black skeletal beings emerging from the ground
"What the heck are those?" Sougo asked in shock, terrified by what's happened.
"Bones?" Shoutaro frowned
"DeStRoY fUuTo!" Another Double yelled before he flew away on his own wind
"I won't let you!" Shoutaro called out and saw him leave.
"Shou! We've got to take these ones out first!" Phillip called out.
"Damn it." Shoutaro growled and glared at the bones that rose up from the rain
They began to punch attack the black creatures, ripping apart the fake-creatures
"What are these things?" Sougo asked in concern.
"That fake Double's creations. Too many!" Phillip panicked as he slashed and began to feel fatigued.
"RARGH!" The bones reached out and began to overwhelm the trio.
"Phillip!" Shoutaro called out, as Sougo ran in and tackled the bones off of him.
"Shoutaro! Ocean Ninja!" Phillip called as he detransformed
"Phillip! We can't use Double!" Shoutaro frowned
"Trust me." Phillip called as he pulled out a blue Gaia Memory with an O symbol made out of a wave
OCEAN!
...
"Right." Shou nodded as he detransformed and switched Drivers
NINJA!
"HENSHIN!" The two called
The two slotted their GaiaMemories into their respective Double Drivers, the 'Ocean' Memory disappeared into data and into Shoutaro's driver as he pushed both into their slots.
OCEAN! NINJA!
The winds and water of Fuuto began to swirl around Shoutaro as Phillip fell to unconsciousness; as two new halves formed around Shoutaro. A dark blue right half with light green markings and a purple left half with dark red markings.
"'Ocean Ninja'?" Sougo asked in shock as he saw this new form of the real Double.
"Ah. The new Gaia Memories I created were a success." Phillip commented, his voice coming from Double as the right eye flashed "And my first theory was correct. This is a new power, one we have never used before. It didn't exist, and so the Another Rider cannot stop it."
"That's good to know, but how're we going to stop him?" Shoutaro asked as the left eye flashed.
"E-excuse me! Should I carry your body back?" Sougo asked as he pointed to the unconscious body of Phillip
"We need to finish these guys." Shou commented as this form pulled out a weapon. A small combat knife, which had a Maximum Drive slot. The weapon, if Sougo knew more about Rider history, he would realise was a re-colour of the knife used by Kamen Rider Eternal
"Th-that's!" Sougo gasped
"Don't worry about it." Phillip responded.
"Focus on these bone-heads." Shoutaro added as he started slashing at the Bones, spinning his blade carefully as he kept striking at every beast around him. The outline of the blade continued to glow, catching and causing an aquatic blue line to follow, like a blade of water. He slashed again and again before he kicked them away, pulling the Ninja memory from his belt.
NINJA! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
Shoutaro inserted the GaiaMemory into the dagger and felt its power surge within the weapon, ready to unleash its full strength.
"NINJA WAVE!" The two called, unleashing a large water shockwave that was projected in every direction. A large growing disk of water energy which slashed the Bones apart and made them fade away
"Whoa. Amazing." Sougo whispered in awe as he saw the attack.
Double panted before they flinched, their form sparking and fading away into light.
Shoutaro stood on his own, while Phillip's consciousness returned to his body...which was being cradled in Sougo's arms. "Hmm...Huh?"
"Oh, sorry." Sougo apologised as he released the two while the others arrived, Geiz and Accel finishing off a few last Bones.
"You guys okay?" Geiz asked as he arrived.
"We're fine, but Fuuto won't be." Shoutaro frowned.
"This is bad." Tokime commented "They can summon Bones?"
"What are Bones?" Tsuki asked
"The foot soldiers of STREET, our current enemies... Who I'm somehow connected to." Tokime frowned "I... Have amnesia. So I... Don't know how I relate to them. But they seem to know me."
"Oh." Tsuki blinked before she smiled reassuringly "Well... I don't know where I'm from either. But I'm sure it will work out."
"Ocean and Ninja did work. But they weren't able to withstand the Another Rider for long." Phillip commented
"But your homemade Gaia Memories work?" Akiko asked
"Yes." Phillip nodded "Hmm... Yes, yes I think that would work. They are using the normal Double, formed by the left body."
"Greetings everyone." Woz greeted as he walked towards them "I see we are in a bad situation."
"Who's he?" Ryuji frowned
"A friend." Sougo assured
"Where have you been?!" Geiz snapped
"Speaking with my Overlord in the future." Woz commented "But I am here now. So let's..."
"Phillip. I need to go perform a lookup." Shoutaro commented simply
"Now?" Phillip asked
"Yes. I need to confirm this answer." Shou frowned "Who the Another Rider is."
"You... Know?" Sougo blinked
"Very well." Phillip nodded as he closed his eyes and spread his arms wide "Beginning look up." he said as he was surrounded by green light...
*? ? ?*
Phillip was now standing in an endless white void... Alongside a shocked Woz
"Wh-what is this? Where are we?" Woz asked in shock as he was right next to Phillip
"Th-this should be impossible." Phillip gasped as he saw and heard Woz right beside him.
The two were standing there in an endless white void, millions of billions of bookshelves filled to the brim with books zooming around the void
"In all my years of doing this, only three other people have entered this sanctum." Phillip spoke in shock as he saw Woz standing next to him.
"One was Shoutaro when our minds where linked. Sokichi Narumi, when he sacrificed the Skull Memory to enter the bookshelves when I was trapped in a crystal server to help me to escape. And finally my sister, Wakana."
"Then this is a rare privilege, being in your... 'sanctum'." Woz asked
"Correct." Phillip answered. "We better get some answers. What are the keywords, Shoutaro?" Phillip asked
"Fuuto. Students. Windscale. Destructive." Shoutaro listed off slowly
Phillip nodded and narrowed down the search, using those keywords the books went from billions, to a hundred thousand, to a thousand, to a hundred...down to one. One single book.
"W-Wow... '' Woz blinked
"Hmmm?" Phillip blinked as he picked up the book, one titled Another, and flicked through the pages
"Hmm. Oh. Oh dear." Phillip frowned as he looked at the answer.
"Who is it?" Akiko asked
"Shoutaro. Another Double is, your two students." Phillip answered. "Koji and Ken."
THUMP!
"Damn it!" Shoutaro snarled as he punched the wall. "I knew it." he hissed softly
"Then what're you going to do?" Akiko asked in worry, seeing her friend getting this wound up
Shoutaro replied by taking his hat off and dropping it, walking away "I'll stop them. You all keep people safe, the winds are getting dangerous."
"Shoutaro!" Akiko snapped at him but he was gone "Darn it, he's being a big baby again!"
"No Akiko. He's not." Ryu frowned "He's doing it again."
"It?" Sougo asked
"He's gone full Hard-boiled." Phillip sighed dramatically
"I've heard about him doing that. I hadn't seen it myself yet." Tokime admitted
"Wow..." Sougo blinked
"But he's right. These winds are getting dangerous." Geiz commented
"You're even making that terminology?" Tsuki asked
"Is? Is uncle Shou gonna be okay?" Haruna asked her father.
"He'll be fine."
"Tsuki. Have you looked at the sky?! The winds are LITERALLY knocking trees over right now." Geiz pointed out "And it's getting worse."
"Sorry." She flinched.
In a flash, both Woz and Phillip returned back to the real world.
"Tokime, Sougo, let's go." Phillip instructed "I know where they are all going."
"I'm coming too." Woz added
"Right." Geiz rolled his eyes. "What can you do against a guy who can whip up typhoons?"
"Woz. You stay with Geiz and Tsuki. Look after her and help anyone trapped under rubble or being attacked by those bones things." Sougo ordered
Woz turned to Sougo and bowed. "Of course, My Overlord. I will follow your instructions to the letter."
Akiko was silent as she watched these heroes run off to work, her fist clenching slightly as guilt filled her heart...
*time skip*
Shoutaro was walking up Fuuto Tower, a white fedora placed atop his head
He could see that this would be...no. It was the eye of the storm. He brought these two into this world, he'd be the one to take them out.
He emerged from a doorway, seeing a familiar scenery. It was here where Phillip and himself stood up to Katsumi Daido, where they refused to acknowledge him as a Kamen Rider or a person. Where Phillip cast off the idea of himself as a devil and together, with the very spirit of Fuuto on their side, they had saved their town
That very same wind now being used to hurt it
Standing there was Another Double, arms spread wide as he controlled the storm
"I should have known it was you two right away. The second I saw you attack Windscale. Your mother was fired from there, wasn't she Koji? Fired because her boss's wife was jealous of her, thinking she was trying to seduce her husband. You hate them for stealing your mother's dream and for making your family poor." Shoutaro commented "And Ken, you're the illegitimate son of a political figurehead in Fuuto. Who shamed your mother and denied you as his, refusing you the money and family you desire. The two of you are two peas in a pod... And why did I still keep you as my students despite the hate I had seen in your eyes. Because I hoped I could help make it go away. And I saw a bit of myself in the two of you. "
"YoU. FaIlEd! ShOuTaRo!" Another Double shouted, pointing at him. "WaTcH! As We BlOw FuUtO AWAY!"
There was a swirl of purple and Another Double faded away, the two teens stood there and pointed at him
"This wretched city." Koji glared
"Will pay for its sins!" Ken followed up
...
"One." Shoutaro sighed "I failed to see the hate in the hearts of my cherished student's. Two, I let that hatred grow, I let it be nurtured until it consumed them."
"What are you talking about?!" they snapped, fusing together once more
DOUBLE!
"I'm counting my sins." he commented, walking towards them "Three. I hesitated when I was given proof of your crimes."
"SHUT UP!" Another Double yelled, punching... Only for the punch to be caught by Shoutaro, who used his hat to block the attack. Said hat having a small S-shaped notch at the front
"Four. I abandoned them to become a monster." he threw his arm up, putting his hat back on his head. Doing so forced Another Double's arm up, throwing them off balance "Five! I failed! My city! By letting this monster! Run rampant!" Shoutaro shouted, each yell being emphasised with a punch or a kick to the Another Rider
"WILL YOU JUST SHUT UP!" Another Double roared, throwing Shoutaro away
"Ah!" Shoutaro gasped as he hit the metal railings behind him
"Six. He selfishly charged into battle alone, leaving his partner alone." Phillip's voice echoed as he, Tokime and Sougo emerged onto the room. He rubbed his chin, smiling lightly as he talked "Seven. He takes all the blame, refusing to let others take responsibility as he punishes himself more."
As he spoke Sougo and Tokime rushed in to help Shou. They both began to fight Another Double, throwing a series of blows
"Eight! He didn't trust his loved ones with his feelings because he didn't want to hurt them, when they only want to help!" Tokime snapped as she gave a series of high kicks
"Nine, he tried to brush off his junior rider who wanted to continue to learn!" Sougo added, using the lessons he learned from Tendou and Godai to help the older woman out
"And finally, ten. He nearly let himself die for his pride, which would have hurt all of his friends and family. In hopes it would heal his students broken hearts." Phillip added as he stood there, holding out his hand "There is another way partner, you just need the 'Courage' to ask. And we will Ride to victory together." he said simply
...
"Heh. Got me there." Shoutaro smirked and took his hand "Sorry partner."
"Let's go." Phillip nodded as he helped his friend to his feet
"We ArE gOiNg To KiLl YoU aLl!" Another Double roared, using a blast of wind to throw everyone back
WHACK!
Whack!
"Hands off my family!" Akiko snapped as she stood there holding a green slipper which read 'monster'
"Yeah!" Haruka nodded, holding a similar slipper which read 'baddie'
"Akiko! What are you doing?!" Shoutaro and Phillip snapped
"You had a bad life!" Akiko ranted "You both have! But so have all of us! Shoutaro only wanted to help! Why can't you just apologise and let everyone be happy?!"
There was a moment of silence, a moment where everyone held hope... And suddenly the world turned cold
"DiE yOu StUpId GiRl!" Another Double roared
"NOOOO!" everyone screamed
KAMEN RIDE: SKULL!
KICK!
"Hands off my daughter you creep." A strong-voiced man commented
There, appearing in the cyclone of Fuuto, stood a black-suited Kamen Rider. Silver clasps on his wrists and ankles, six silver markings on his chest that looked like ribs, rounded shoulder pads with overlapped silver 'V' markings, a white scarf around his neck. And finally, a silver mask, styled to look like a skull, right angle triangles to reflect a nose, deep sunken black visor eyes, a mouthpiece that looked like a knight's visor to look like teeth; and to top it off a white fedora with a single black band around the base.
This. Is Kamen Rider Skull. Shoutaro's mentor and the man who helped start the name 'Kamen Rider' in Fuuto.
"D-Dad?" Akiko gasped in shock
"Boss!" Shoutaro followed up as he saw him.
"You owe me for this one, Zi-O. Decade forced me to help." A familiar voice called out.
"Kaito. DiEnd!" Sougo gasped, seeing the man sitting atop the building
"GrRrR..." Another Double growled as it had been kicked away by Skull
"Grandpa?" Haruka asked in wonder as she looked up at the armoured Rider.
Skull turned around and looked at the little girl, although she couldn't see it, he was looking at her with a smile. "You're my granddaughter?" he asked
"Y-Yes! Yes daddy, this is Haruka!" Akiko nodded as she stood up, holding her daughter protectively in her arms but not shielding her from the Great man in front of her
Sokichi smiled and nodded. "She looks like you." He spoke gently.
"Boss. How?" Shoutaro asked
"He was summoned by DiEnd. Much like how he was summoned when we first fought side by side with Decade. Fascinating." Phillip smiled
"Shoutaro?" Sokichi commented as he looked at the man, silence falling... And the Skull themed Rider began to laugh lightly "Look at you. I can tell. That hat suits you."
"... Boss..." Shoutaro whispered, holding back tears. He nodded, rubbing his eyes before he stood confidently "I have failed my students. Please, help us stop them Boss."
"Of course." the older Rider nodded
"Here you go Tokime." Phillip commented as he took two items from Shoutaro's coat "I do believe some extra help would be required here."
"M-me? But what could I-?" Tokime asked before gasping as she saw the items.
The first item was the Lost Driver. And the other... Was a Joker Memory. Unlike Shoutaro's, however, the tip was silver instead of gold and the J symbol was white instead of purple
"Your Super Compatible Memory is Joker, like Shoutaro's. When we decided to create Ocean and Ninja, to give us an edge on STREET, we decided to create this Memory as a way for you to protect yourself." Phillip commented "Shoutaro was waiting for us to have tested Ocean and Ninja first, however, before giving it to you."
"Also... The day we decided was your birthday was coming up and it felt appropriate." Shoutaro added
"Shoutaro." Tokime whispered as she held the two items in her hands
"RARGH!" Another Double roared as he pulled himself up.
"yOu WiLl AlL dIe! JuSt LiKe FuUtO!"
"You think you're going to destroy Fuuto?" Shoutaro scoffed as he attached the Driver to his waist "Don't try and screw around, I'm not going to let that happen."
"Ah, Shoutaro, don't you-" Phillip said, as the DoubleDriver emerged onto his waist as well
"Right, right. I know." Shoutaro chuckled "We will stop you."
TrIgGeR!
The black and purple of Another Double suddenly turned two different shades of blue, his hand turning into a gun as he opened fire on the two... And every shot was blocked by a snarling small white robotic T-Rex
"Thank you Fang." Phillip commented
"That's it!" Sougo gasped as he rushed over, holding out a blank RideWatch "Here! Together!" he urged "The reason it didn't work before is that neither of you are Double, you BOTH are! It needs both of your power!"
"Heh. Not a bad idea, kid." Shoutaro smirked. "What do you say, Partner?"
"Certainly a sound theory." Phillip grinned back. The two shared a look before they turned to Sougo "Tell us; are you ready to ride with the Devil?"
"Well...I've been told I'll become 'The Demon King'." Sougo admitted "Being a devil sounds fun." Sougo smiled back
"... Heh. I like you kid." Shoutaro smirked
"Can we wrap this up quickly, please? This wind's blowing my jacket away." Kaito commented
Shoutaro and Phillip both grasped the RideWatch, making it come to life
DOUBLE!
"Wow..." Sougo blinked as he looked at the new RideWatch. A purple base with a green button and faceplate
"Fang!" Phillip called, the small robot jumping into his hand. He slammed his hands down on it and flicked its tail, revealing a cyan/blue-ish white Gaia Memory
FANG!
Shoutaro smirked as he pulled out his Joker Memory and hit the button
JOKER!
The two got into position, their arms making a W in the air
ZI-O!
D-D-DECADE!
Sougo quickly activated both the Decade and Zi-O RideWatches and slotted them on. He got into his Henshin stance as the large clock ticked away behind him
Tokime looked at the Memory in her hand and took a deep breath, attaching the Driver to her waist. She twisted her wrist and showed the Memory, hitting the button with a manicured nail
JOKER!
She slotted it into the belt, holding the Lost Driver tightly
The four stood there with Kamen Rider Skull, all with determination in their eyes.
"HENSHIN!"
JOKER!
FANG! JOKER!
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RI~DER ZI-O! ARMOUR TIME! KAMEN RIDE! WOW! DECADE! DECADE! DECA~DE~!
There was a series of lights filling the air, Shoutaro falling to the floor unconscious as the Riders armour formed around them
Standing there, side by side with Sokichi Narumi was three more riders.
Kamen Rider Joker, Tokime.
Kamen Rider Zi-O: Decade Armour, Sougo.
And finally, a black and white armoured, slightly spiked on the arms and legs a white right side with black markings with white fang-like bolts in the black markings and the red eyes of the mask became jagged as well. Kamen Rider Double, FangJoker form
Tokime's Joker form was slightly different from Shoutaro's, much like her Memory was. First off was the fact the suit was obviously designed for a female body now. With the way it used her curves and the slimmer waist and legs. Next was the fact the purple of the suit was now white, like bone. And finally the red eyes were now pink.
"WhAt?!" Another Double gasped as they saw them
"Now!" Sougo called as he slotted the Double RideWatch onto the Decade watch's extension slot
FINAL FORM TIME: D-D-DOUBLE!
Sougo's faceplate began to change to into the similar faceplate of FangJoker with the barcode lettering on the cross changing to 'Double' and the number '2010'.
"IWAE!" Woz's voice could be heard from within the cyclone, making the five figures looked up. "He is the heir to the power of all Riders! On this day, the King over Space and Time has acquired the powers of the Two in One Rider!" Woz continued "His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O! And now with Decade Armour FangJoker form, alongside several other Riders with Earth's memory powering them, you shall witness an unstoppable force! Now pray he is a merciful king."
'That was new.' Sougo thought before he and the three other Riders raised their hands and pointed at the Another Rider.
"Now. Count up your sins!" Sokichi, Phillip and Shoutaro, Tomike and Sougo proclaimed as they stared down the monster.
They all pointed at the Another Rider, the wind blowing dramatically
"We'Ll bLoW yOu AWAY!" Another Double proclaimed.
tRiGgEr!
You could almost hear jazz music playing as the group charged forwards
"HRARH!" The group raced forward as they clashed their fists and kicks at Another Double.
(W-B-X crime and the city)
CLASH!
Another Double clashed with Fang's spiked arms, getting punched by Skull's fist to its half face.
Mata dare ka ga Totsuzen door wo tataku
Jiken no yokan Welcome to windy city
Another Double pushed back, shooting air bullets at the group, forcing them back
Joker jumped into the air and did a small flip, performing a dropkick to Another Double's gun and breaking it from his hand
Kono machi ni wa Namida wa niawanai ze
Yami ni hisomu keyword Mitsukedasou! (Mitsukedasou!)
Sougo did sweeping kick and flattened Another Double into the ground, causing him a great amount of pain and also forced him to turn into another form.
hEaT!
"Not this time." Skull commented as he slammed his foot into the ground
He then pulled his hand up, revealing a black version of the Trigger Magnum, and fired it point-blank at the monsters face
ARM FANG!
Hitori de wa todokanai yume
(Kensaku suru mugen no archive!
Kioku toiu umi e to dive!)
Double came rushing by, a large blade having extended from his arm as he slashed across Another Double's chest as it was sent flying up
It did a small spin in the air and came crashing down
"Here we go!" Tokime called, slotting her Gaia Memory into her hip slot
JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
Kimi to nara kanaerareru, Half and Half!
(W-Boiled Extreme!)
"Rider... SPIN KICK!" Tokime yelled as she jumped into the air. She did a flip before she extended her leg sharply, purple and white flames spinning around her and making her turn into a small drill. She slammed into Another Double, sending it pushing back
W-B-X!
A small chunk of RideWatch flew into the air and shattered into nothing, Another Double gasping 'JoKeR... gOnE!'
Futari no body and soul!
(Hoka ni nai sa only! Tsumari ainori)
'That's it!' Sougo thought. "Keep it up!" As he readied his Heisaber and slashed at him, catching his twisted body in the side and pushed forwards. "He's getting weaker!"
"nO, wE'rE NoT!" Another Double struggled against the blade in his side and felt it cleave into him.
Saikou no partner Deau toki (Deau toki)
Kiseki okoru (so we can make it!)
Double wo sagase!
SKULL! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
With the Memory inserted into the SkullMagnum, Skull took aim as the gun began to glow
"Skull Punisher." Sokichi spoke plainly and took the shot, shooting straight into Another Double's side and shattered another piece of the busted RideWatch.
LuNa...gOnE.
(W-B-X crime and the city)
Sougo and Double rushed in, giving a series of rough and powerful blows
"Next!" Double called
TRIGGER!
JOKER! TRIGGER!
Tokai no chaos Kiken na kaori sasou
Suddenly the Joker side turned into Trigger, the two Riders keeping up their savage assault
"nOt PoSsIbLe!" Another Double gasped and was becoming broken by the immense strikes and blows that came at its body
SHOULDER FANG!
ARM FANG!
Two blades now extended from FangJoker's wrists, forming what looked like a bow
Arashi ga kuru Welcome to windy city
Juutai shiteru News ya uso wo surinuke
FANG! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
"FANG ARCHING!" Double called, launching a large glowing blue arrow at Another Double
The arrows flew true and shot into their enemy, shattering the pieces of the Another RideWatch inside.
hEaT aNd mEtAl...gOnE.
Kakusareteru keyword Mitsukedasou!
(Mitsukedasou!)
"This city is our garden." Shoutaro said through Phillip's left side "And we are going to punish you for making it cry!"
"Yeah!" Sougo nodded, giving a series of slashes with his HeiSaber
Shinjiau chikara wa itsuka
(Hanbun demo futari de kyuukyoku!
2-way kara kuridasu kick!)
JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
SKULL! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
"DOUBLE KICK!" Skull and Joker called, performing a double rider kick as Another Double tried to attack once more
Kitto kono machi wo sukuu trust and trust!
(Double Boiled Extreme!)
FANGJOKER!
"Let's end This, Boss!" Sougo called as he stood besides Double, who was in FangJoker once more
"Boss?" Shoutaro blinked, wonder and pride in his voice
"Looks like you have a student once again, Shoutaro." Phillip joked
W-B-X!
"Heh. Let's do this Partner, kid." Shoutaro smirked
"Right!" Sougo nodded
Futari no body and soul!
(Hoka ni nai sa only! Tsumari ainori)
Both Rider's crouched letting out a breath as they readied themselves. Three voices synching as one as they readied themselves
Hitotsu ni
Double quickly reached down and pressed the 'horn' on the Fang Memories dinosaur face three times
FANG! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
White/Blue and purple energy surrounded him as a blade grew on his right ankle
W-B-X!
Sougo quickly hit the button on the Decade RideWatch, making it shine to life
Saikou no partner Deau toki (Deau toki)
D-D-DOUBLE! FINAL ATTACK BREAK!
Like the senior Rider, a blade emerged from Sougo's ankle
Kiseki okoru (so we can make it!)
Both Riders gave a mighty jump, shooting into the air as white/blue, purple and pink energy formed around them making a giant energy construct version of the Fang Memory's dinosaur head
"TWIN FANG STRIZER!"* The two Riders yelled
The two Riders shot down, their kicks connected and formed a powerful cyclone kick, the symbol of Fuuto, causing Ken and Koji to emerge out of Another Double and destroy the remaining pieces of the Another RideWatch.
Double wo sagase!
(W-B-X crime and the city)
Both Ken and Koji fell onto the roof in pain, defeated but alive. And the terrible storm began to pass, leaving the city safe from the evils of the Another Rider.
The two Riders skid across the ground as they came to a stop, the winds blowing around them as if the city itself was praising them
"Not bad...Kid." Shoutaro smirked under his helmet, turning to Sougo, to whom just chuckled awkwardly but excitedly.
"Shoutaro." Skull spoke as he walked towards him.
"Boss..." Shoutaro commented, the group dehenshining
Sokichi looked at him and put his hand on the slightly torn hat. "It fits you." The man said calmly, as the man was revealed in the light as the storm clouds faded.
Shoutaro's eyes were covered by the brim of the hat, keeping Shoutaro's tears of joy hidden...But he was overcome with emotions.
The man that was Sokichi Narumi was aged and strong. Clad in a smart white suit, with a white fedora identical to Shoutaro's. A black suit under it as well. He looked like the epitome of style and smarts.
The man walked forwards... And put a hand on his shoulder "You are truly Hard-boiled, Shoutaro. I'm proud of the man you've grown into."
"Thank you...Boss." Shoutaro choked back the tears as he heard that.
"I didn't hear about this!" Akiko gasped in shock at her father's statement
Sokichi chuckled as he turned around and saw his daughter. "Look at you, Akiko." He smiled "You are as beautiful as your mother."
"D-Dad." Akiko whimpered as she heard that and wanted to hug him. "Oh, this is my daughter, Haruna."
"She is as cute as you were." The man nodded
"You're. You're my grandpa?" Haruna asked as she looked up at him.
"It seems so." he commented
She walked over and hugged him by the leg. Sokichi smiled gently and hugged back.
"That...That's adorable." Sougo smiled gently.
*Time Skip*
Ken and Koji were taken away by the police, Ryu wanted to go but was asked to stay behind by his wife and daughter to see his father-in-law. Phillip was sitting next to Fang who was sitting like an adorable dinosaur.
Sougo chuckled lightly at the robot
"Good job up there, Sougo." Geiz spoke as he leaned against a wall.
"Yeah, you all did great too." Sougo answered. "Saving those people."
"It's what we do." Geiz responded
"You have that right." Shoutaro smirked from behind them
"How did that 'Woz' guy do after helping all those people?"
"Great, actually. Disappeared for a minute or two before he came back." Geiz explained "... He did his Iwae thing."
"Yeah, he did...But he did it differently this time." Sougo answered
"True. Kind of a 'hype man' for you, eh 'Demon Kid'?" Shoutaro joked
Sougo laughed softly, smiling
*elsewhere*
We see a man walk towards a school with a smirk, dressed in a suit while adjusting his hair which was done up in a pompadour
"Staff meeting KIIIIIITA!" The man yelled before he walked into the school, a carefree smile on his face
