Kamen Rider from the ancient times

Dark clouds gathered and a strong wind howled.

Panic and screams echoed throughout the city, like meteorites streaking across the sky from the void. Buildings that existed only in fictional stories emerged from the distorted space, red-glowing city walls rose from the ground, and giant windmills roared and spun in the gale.

Along with these changes, monsters from different times and spaces also appeared, much like when Kawahara first traveled to the Zi-O world.

Has the world merged?

Ryotaro Nogami also turned to look out the window.

Different Kamen Riders exist in different times and spaces of the same world, like branches branching out from the trunk of a tree, living their own lives on different timelines.

The disappearance of the Kamen Riders from history is like all the branches on the trunk being cut off.

However, if all the timelines are merged, it is not necessarily a good thing for the main trunk. The most suitable timeline is one that intersects with each other but does not interfere with each other.

“It must be that spacetime has been disrupted. Shingo has returned to the new ‘past’ timeline. His memories of Kamen Rider will correct the history that was altered by the Time Jackers, but the ‘2000-year timeline’ that we just left has not been completely resolved yet,” Kouta Kazuha said thoughtfully.

Influenced by Shingo Hisanaga, the new timeline is merging with the old timeline, and as a result, all the Kamen Riders who disappeared in the old timeline have reappeared at the same time.

It's worth mentioning that—even though all Kamen Riders disappeared in the "old timeline," Kamen Rider Den-O never disappeared.

Because Nogami Ryotaro is also a singularity, his memories allow Momotaros and the others to still exist. Perhaps the new Imagin Fuutaros is also able to operate in this world because of this bug.

The memories of singularities can repair the timeline.

Therefore, the Time Jacker Teed wanted to seal Shingo Hisanaga before January 30, 2000, in order to prevent him from having memories of "Kamen Rider Kuuga".

But now that Shingo Hisanaga has been sent back to the past by Kawahara, the Time Jackers' plan can be said to have failed halfway.

As for the remaining half...

These are probably monsters from twenty different worlds that have been summoned by the other party from different times and spaces at this very moment.

"Mr. Kawahara?"

Yusuke Godai suddenly appeared beside Kawahara.

Kawahara, still seated in his booth, gazed out the window at the chaotic monsters and the mutated world. His expression remained calm, revealing no emotion, but a darkness was brewing deep within his eyes.

This feeling was familiar to Yusuke Godai.

Because he remembered that when Kawahara mysteriously disappeared and then returned, and then told him about the existence of the "Demon King," he felt a similar kind of emotion as he was now trying his best to endure.

It was from that time onward that Kawahara's state became more anxious than "unable to tolerate the Gurongi".

Although Kawahara had never seriously told him the reason for leaving before, Godai Yusuke had guessed some of it.

If he had stayed in the original world, Kawahara might have uncontrollably transformed into another Black God, and then seized control of the future of everyone in the world.

Only in this way can he be assured that the world is changing according to his wishes.

Kouya Kuzuha also cast a somewhat ambiguous glance at him.

Godai Yusuke looked at the person in front of him.

"What are you going to do?"

"..."

Kawahara took a long time to turn his gaze away from the window and looked at Godai Yusuke with a light laugh, "So many enemies are going to be difficult to deal with. Let's clear out a place where we can take refuge first, and then we'll go find the Time Jackers together."

Godai Yusuke smiled slightly: "Alright!"

……

The electric train that flew out of the sky stopped on the street with the most monsters and then put several Kamen Riders down.

Several otherworldly gods, seemingly bursting with impatience, also scrambled off the vehicle.

Rontaros looked around curiously, then let out an exaggerated "Wow!" before trying to grab the nearest monster to study it. But Pularos, who turned around and saw his movement, grabbed his braid and pulled him back.

"Ah! That's too much!"

Longtaros quickly snatched back his braid.

"Don't make things worse~"

Urataros gracefully raised his hand, then turned his gaze to Nogami Ryotaro in front of him.

Naomi, the flight attendant standing at the train door, held a tray and smiled sweetly as she raised one hand to cheer Ryotaro Nogami on.

"Good luck, Ryotaro!"

"Well, thank you!"

Ryotaro Nogami smiled at her, then picked up the Den-O Driver and, most importantly, the train ticket from the tray.

Next stop—Kamen Rider Den-O!
Although Nogami Ryotaro hadn't transformed in a long time, the memories in his body and soul hadn't made him forget this feeling. He stared at the monster in front of him, which was aimlessly destroying everything, and his originally gentle and soft gaze became firm at this moment.

"Henshin!"

"It's starting! It's starting!"

The first sound to ring out before Den-O's belt wasn't the announcement of names, but rather the excited shouts of the four Imagin (the shouts of Ryutaros).

The materialized Otherworldly being transformed into four beams of light—red, blue, gold, and purple—and jumped into Nogami Ryotaro's body. He then extended his finger and pressed the first red button on his belt.

Accompanied by an exhilarating driver sound effect, Momotaros's power enveloped Den-O on the platform, and his fiery red peach-petal compound eyes shone with intense light.

Momotaros chuckled twice after completing the fusion, then clapped his hands, striking a powerful battle stance.

"I'm here!"

—Kamen Rider Den-O Holy Sword Form!
The electric train that appeared in the real world and was traveling in the air attracted the attention of some people. The crowd being chased by the monsters instinctively ran towards this side. When they saw the red warrior that appeared at the end of the road, some people immediately exclaimed in shock.

"Den-O? It's Kamen Rider Den-O!"

Hearing the shouts from the crowd, Momotaros, realizing that his pose had been seen, straightened up with a little smugness and wiped his nose.

"Momotaros was the first to steal the spotlight, huh? I'm not happy~~"

A sigh came from Dōtarō in his Holy Sword form, along with a shy laugh from Ryōtaro Nogami.

Momotaros clapped his fist excitedly: "Enough talk, just watch me! Let me tell you beforehand, I'm in a state of ecstasy from the very beginning!"

After saying this, he took out the weapon parts from his waist and quickly assembled them into a sharp sword. Then, with great enthusiasm, he swung the weapon and charged towards the group of monsters not far away!

"Go! Go! Go!"

"Charge! Charge! Charge! Charge—"

The several Immortals that had been absent from Nogami Ryotaro's body for a long time also shouted in response.

Standing behind them, Yusuke Godai looked in surprise at Kamen Rider Den-O, who was charging ahead, and then smiled.

"They're really full of energy!"

The Agul Belt had already appeared around his waist, but seeing how eager Kamen Rider Den-O was, Yusuke Godai, who had just assumed a transformation stance, withdrew his action.

Kuzuha Kota perked up and laughed, "Since the seniors are all so enthusiastic, I can't fall behind!"

"Let's leave this to Den-O," Kawahara said, then looked at Futaros behind him: "Let's find the Time Jackers' location first, and—"

Futaros, who was gazing enviously at Kamen Rider Den-O, suddenly jolted awake, looked at Kawahara somewhat bewildered, and then, as if realizing something, immediately stood at attention and raised his hand.

"I'll go find the pawn!"

Hisanaga, who was forced to transform into "Another Den-O", briefly fought against Kamen Rider ZiO. However, Tokiwa Sougo was unaware of the situation at the time, so he did not continue to pursue after defeating his opponent.

Another Den-O is probably still out there.

As for Hisanaga, who was a contractor before Fengtaros, perhaps he could still use this connection to find the person again.

Perhaps a little intimidated by Kawahara, after saying this, Feng Talos turned and quickly ran away, almost being ambushed by a Grongi who pounced on him halfway.

Yusuke Godai watched him slip away, then looked at Kawahara, who was speechless: "What were you trying to say just now?"

Kawahara sighed and said, "There should be quite a few Kamen Riders in this world by now. I wanted to ask that guy if he knew the location, but judging from his expression, I'd better not."

As he spoke, he raised his hand, and the golden Yaguru seal on the back of his left hand reappeared, and the pupil of his left eye turned dark red.

After returning to this era, the power that was sealed by the sacred timeline for interfering with the past was restored, so he can now gather all the Kamen Riders on his own.

Standing next to him, Yusuke Godai stared at his hair curiously for a while, but after not seeing any change, he looked away.

Just then, a loud explosion came from not far away, accompanied by an extremely dazzling burst of light!

Godai Yusuke's eyes flickered: "Hmm?"

Kawahara couldn't help but turn his attention to it.

When the group arrived at the place where the violent commotion had occurred, they saw the monsters on the street flying out in a ladder-like pattern amidst the explosions. The source of this impact was a person whose figure was obscured by a beam of light.

"Boom——!"

Another violent burst of light struck, the massive energy shock creating gusts of wind, even the three people standing at the end of the street had to raise their hands to block it.

After that, the blinding light slowly subsided, revealing a battle stance that was none other than Kamen Rider Agito!

"what?"

"Uh?"

Upon seeing this Kamen Rider, Yusuke Godai paused for a moment, then blinked.

At that moment, Agito on the opposite side sensed something and turned to look over. His solemn and majestic fighting posture suddenly froze, and his crimson compound eyes flickered rapidly.

An eerie silence fell over the room.

Only the flames from the explosion were still scorching.

After a while, Kamen Rider Agito turned around and tried to run away, but Kawahara had already shouted out with a smirk.

"Halt! Shoichi Tsugami!"

Agito, who had taken half a step, stumbled and stopped, then scratched his head and looked back. The holiness and majesty of a warrior vanished without a trace at that moment.

"Ah~"

Shoichi Tsugami's chuckled, "It really is Mr. Kawahara! Haha, what a coincidence~"

He was smiling, but his body and mind were filled with resistance.

But I still walked over.

Kawahara crossed his arms and said with some puzzlement, "It really is Tsugami Shoichi. What happened to his fighting style? It's a bit reckless!"

"Well……"

Yusuke Godai stroked his chin and said, "Isn't it because Mr. Kawahara threw Mr. Tsugami directly into the Mirror World before?"

Kawahara, suddenly remembering: "..."

In the Mirror World, there are countless monsters, and battles are fought with indiscriminate attacks. It was in this way that Tsugami Shoichi became familiar with the power of Shining Form.

"So he told you that..." Kawahara looked at Godai Yusuke speechlessly.

"Hmm~ I met him in the Mirror World later."

Godai Yusuke smiled.

When Kawahara left this world, he specially gave Godai Yusuke a mirror card. Later, when Tsugami Shoichi was assigned a cleanup mission by the Knight Academy, he met Godai Yusuke who was traveling outside.

Then Tsugami Shoichi bluntly criticized Kawahara for his harsh words before leaving!

"Long time no see, Mr. Kawahara! And Godai-san is here too! Are you traveling together, haha?"

After Tsugami Shoichi walked over, he also deactivated his transformation, revealing a carefree, wide-eyed smile beneath his holy warrior stance, making him look like a very casual and frivolous man.

Yusuke Godai raised his hand in greeting.

Hearing his words, Kawahara felt a headache coming on: "Shoichi, what are you doing here? Don't you understand what's going on in this world?"

"Ok?"

Tsugami Shoichi frowned, scratched his fluffy hair, then squinted and smiled, "Ah, it seems like I was fighting in the Mirror World when I was suddenly sucked into a vortex!"
As for why they were sucked in, and why they had to face so many monsters after being sucked in...

For Tsugami Shoichi—it doesn't matter!
The most important thing is to finish this mission quickly and go back to running the restaurant!
"But something seems a bit strange here."

Suddenly, Tsugami Shoichi said with a serious expression, "I just encountered some angels that we had already destroyed, and many ordinary people are running away. This world looks terrible! So it seems that I was summoned here to save the world?"

"It's good that you still know you have to save the world." Kawahara looked at him speechlessly.

"Haha~ But since Mr. Kawahara is here too, he probably doesn't need my help anymore!" Tsugami Shoichi laughed heartily again.

"Not always."

Kawahara said something cryptic.

Standing next to them, Kouta Kazuha looked up at the sky and suddenly asked in confusion, "Speaking of which, that shouldn't be the real Fuuto Tower, right?"

"What?" Kawahara looked up upon hearing this.

"Because you see, another Fuuto Tower just rose up from there." Kouta Kazuha pointed to the other side of the street.

When they looked at the city from the electric train, there was no Tower of the Wind there, but now it has appeared. Although it is smaller than the first Tower of the Wind that was spinning wildly in the wind, it looks much more normal.

more importantly--

A Kamen Rider stands atop that tower.

Suddenly, the people on the ground looked up at the larger Wind Tower that they had previously overlooked, and fell silent.

"what……"

Kawahara realized: "That's the Aberrant Wind Tower."

It is something summoned by Another Rider, just like Another Electric Train. Therefore, it is self-evident where the Time Jacker Teed is.
