Rider Build: Starting in Next Form

"What is this? How could this be?!" White Woz stared in disbelief at the brand-new watch inside the triangular structure.

His power resonated with that of Zi-O and Geiz, giving birth to a new watch.

If Geiz, the resurrected being born from the power of the future Rider, creates a timeline different from that of Oma Zi-O.

What kind of new future will the new watch, born from the power of him, Geiz the Resurrected, and Zi-O II, create...?

…………

Outside the photography studio.

The battle between the sword and Kalis grew increasingly fierce, each strike more ruthless than the last, as if they wanted to tear each other apart.

In Zhuang Wu's view, this was not something that should be done between comrades, but the two seniors in front of him did it, attacking their comrades as if they were enemies.

"Wait, you two, don't...!" Alien Sword struggled to his feet, trying to stop the two from fighting.

But Jian had already disregarded everything else, and seized the opportunity to widen the distance between himself and Kalis. He drew three suit cards from the Blay Awakener and swiped them through the recognition slots on the Blay Awakener in turn.

"Locust" (5 of Spades)

"Deer!" (6 of Spades)

"Jaguar!" (9 of Spades)

As the reading sound rang out, Jian released the three suit cards in his hand. The three suit cards flew directly behind Jian and enlarged before merging into Jian's body.

Sword planted the Blay Awakener in the ground, then leaped up and kicked Kalis.

"Lightning Sonic!"

At that moment, the Alien Sword arrived right behind Kalis, and both of them were hit by the attack simultaneously.

boom! ! !

Flames erupted from the explosion!

Kalis was kicked away and fell to the ground, struggling in pain.

Although Another Sword was caught in the crossfire, the damage it suffered was far more severe than that suffered by Kalis. Because it was an Another form of sword, it was hit twice as hard as Kalis, and was kicked out of its Another Rider state. Fortunately, it was protected by the power of Another Riders, so the contractor was not in mortal danger.

"Tianyin!" Kalis struggled to his feet and looked anxiously at Tianyin, only to find that Tianyin was also looking at him. After a silent glance, Tianyin put her legs together and used the power of the mantis to leave.

"You're Tianyin?!" After successfully taking down both of them at the same time, Jian was much calmer than before.

"Wait!" Tianyin ignored the sword completely. Seeing that Kalis was about to leave, she quickly got up and chased after Kalis in the direction he had gone.

Only the sword remained, panting in place.

"Kamen Rider Blade, how are you feeling?" Luo Yuan approached Blade and asked a somewhat puzzling question.

"Who are you?" Kenzaki Kazuma withdrew from his knight form. He was seriously injured and blood was trickling from the corner of his mouth. Strangely, the blood was not red, but a strange green.

"Me... Luo Yuan, you can also call me Kamen Rider Nexus. Staying here is attracting a lot of attention, let's find somewhere else to talk," Luo Yuan introduced himself.

…………

Nine to five hours a day.

Tokiwa Junichiro came out of the kitchen with six cups of tea and served one to everyone. However, when he handed the tea to Kenzaki Kazuma, he noticed the green bloodstains at the corner of his mouth and asked with concern, "Are you alright? Do you need to treat the wound? Putting paint or anything on the wound can easily cause infection and inflammation."

"Thank you, but no need." Even though Kenzaki Kazuma had a cold expression, his tone wasn't as serious as when he was fighting Kalis earlier.

"I see." Tokiwa Junichiro nodded. Since the other party was unwilling, then so be it. He turned around and went back to his studio to continue repairing his beloved clock.

After his uncle left, Zhuang Wu couldn't contain his curiosity and asked doubtfully, "Was that really blood? Shouldn't blood be..."

“I am now the ‘Clown,’ and can no longer be considered human,” Kenzaki Kazuma said calmly.

"What exactly does 'clown' mean? And you said that you and that knight named Kalis are both clowns, so why do you fight as soon as you meet? You should be friends, right?" Zhuang Wu recalled some information that Luo Yuan had mentioned before and continued to ask.

“Clowns are drawn to each other, and once they meet, they have to fight, just like us just now. That’s why I decided I would never see Hajime again in this life.” Kenzaki Kazuma calmly spoke of his and Hajime’s fate.

After hiding for so many years, this day has finally come.

"What happens next?" Gates asked. He and Woz had returned to their nine-to-five jobs, and his transformation watch was now in the watch face holder on his arm.

"When we decide the winner and there's only one clown left, the world will be destroyed." Kenzaki Kazuma's tone became serious as he said this.

This also means that one of them, either Jian or Kalis, will inevitably die.

“…” Gates remained silent, recalling White Woz’s recent declaration that he wanted to destroy the world.

The reactions of the people present were much calmer than Kenzaki Kazuma had imagined. He glanced silently in Luo Yuan's direction, as if this guy already knew.

Seeing Kenzaki Kazuma looking over, Luo Yuan nodded, tacitly agreeing.

"By the way, who exactly is that girl who turned into the Otherworldly Sword?" Sougo asked, puzzled as to why Kalis would fight him to protect her.

"Kurihara Amane is the girl that Hajime has always protected... the girl that Kamen Rider Kalis has always protected."

"That's why White Woz chose Kurihara Amane as the contractor of the Otherworldly Sword, in order to lure out the two clowns," Luo Yuan revealed White Woz's purpose.

The information has been basically completed, and everyone present has a general understanding of the situation. Gates silently clenched his fist. That guy, White Woz!

Chapter 394 A Battle That Decides Life and Death

"This is a personal grudge between Hajime and me!" Hearing the words of the crowd, Kenzaki Kazuma realized that he was probably being used by the enemy. He raised his voice several decibels and glanced at the people around him. "It has nothing to do with anyone else."

After saying that, Kenzaki Kazuma walked straight out of the 9-to-5 office.

"Speaking of which, senior, what did you mean when you said that the Alien Sword was a chance to avert the destruction of the world?" Sougo asked, puzzled.

The others also turned their gazes in that direction.

"Ultimately, the key to this opportunity being effective lies with Sougo. Do you remember what happened after Zi-O obtained the power of the Riders?" Luo Yuan finished his tea in one gulp and then said.

"What will happen... The history of the knights will change, and many tragedies that have happened in the past will disappear!" Tsukuyomi said, and suddenly understood why so many knight predecessors in the past were willing to give up their power and entrust it to Sougo.

"I'm going out for a bit." Gates suddenly remembered something and quickly left the 9-to-5 office.

"Senior, what should we do next? The key to this matter lies with that girl named Kurihara Amane, right?" Sougo still hadn't fully grasped the whole situation.

“That’s right, Kurihara Amane is indeed the key to the whole thing. Gates just left, probably to facilitate this. He should have gone to White Woz to ask White Woz to use the power of the Future Notebook to bring the sword and Kalis together.”

"What Another Sword does is to seize all the power of the two clowns and then defeat Another Sword with the power of the sword or Time-O II, sealing away the sword's history," Luo Yuan said, explaining the next part of the plan.

"Can the fate of either Kenzaki Kazuma or Kalis, which is destined to die, be reversed?" Tsukuyomi asked, recalling Kenzaki Kazuma's words about the inescapable fate not long ago.

“That’s right, because the history of the sword is sealed, the clown power within them will also disappear.” Luo Yuan nodded.

"I see, it seems like it might work!" Sougo laughed.

…………

Power plant.

On a cooling tower, White Woz leaned against the fence with his hands, looking into the distance with a complicated expression. Just then, he noticed a figure walking towards him and looked down.

“I already know your purpose. You orchestrated the reunion of two clowns who should never have met, leading this world to destruction.” Gates stood on the ground, looking up at White Woz on the cooling tower.

“You’re right, the world is about to be destroyed. Can I ask you to be my savior again?” As he spoke, White Woz walked down the escalator from the cooling tower.

"I asked you before what kind of future you were pursuing. Now I'm starting to look forward to what kind of future Zi-O can create. No... not only Zi-O, but I'm also starting to look forward to my own future. I also believe that I, Nexus, and Zi-O can thwart your plan to destroy the world." With that, Geiz turned and left.

White Woz watched the departing figure, his face dark and twisted, and took out his future notebook to start writing.

"Kamen Rider Blade and Kamen Rider Caris have met again and are fighting once more."

As the green lines lit up, White Woz closed the Future Notebook, his face so gloomy it seemed like it could drip water.

…………

Nine to five hours a day.

"Gates, how did your chat with White Woz go?" Tsukuyomi's voice came from inside the house, causing Gates to pause in his move as he was about to enter. He then pushed open the door and looked at Tsukuyomi in confusion.

How did Tsukuyomi know that she had gone to see White Woz?

“Gates, that’s what you guessed not long ago.” Zhuang Wu repeated what Luo Yuan had said not long ago.

"Is that so... I declined White Woz's invitation, and things are likely to develop in the direction Nexus predicted." Gates sighed as he spoke.

If only there were such a person in their future, perhaps they wouldn't have been so passive when fighting against Oma Zi-O. Thinking this, Geiz's gaze couldn't help but fall on Woz.

"Now that we're back, let's get started." Luo Yuan came out of the living room and put away his Chuangqi phone.

"The Kamen Rider Kalis's healer, Hajime Aikawa, is a photographer. When they are scattered and gathering information, they will communicate with each other via text message if they receive useful information."

“A photographer…no wonder Another Sword kept attacking photography studios.” Sougo suddenly realized that this explained the strange locations of Another Sword’s attacks.

…………

In a wooden house somewhere in the mountains.

Aikawa Hajime stared blankly at a photo of the three of them in his hand. At that time, Amane was just a little girl who had just started elementary school.

Just then, Aikawa Hajime heard the sound of a door opening. He was startled. Could it be Kenzaki?! He quickly looked up and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the person who walked in. "Amane."

"Shi, why did you leave Jacaranda? Why did you leave me?" After entering the house, Kurihara Amane closed the door behind her, looking at the man in front of her with some unease, worried that the answer would be different from what she imagined.

He had really aged a lot since then. Kurihara Amane looked at the photos on the table again, and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah... how beautiful! These photos are all the world you recorded with your camera."

"This is the real me." Aikawa Hajime placed the framed photo on the table, looking at the little girl who had grown up in front of him, and said in a somewhat heavy tone, "If I always stayed by your side, you would never be able to become your true self, so that's why I..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud roar came from outside: "Begin!"

Upon hearing this voice, Aikawa Hajime immediately rushed out the door, pushed it open, and saw the familiar figure below. "Kenzaki? What are you doing here? Are we destined to fight?"

We've been avoiding each other for so many years, but we've finally run into each other. Let's settle things once and for all this time!

The two of them made this realization at the same time, and stood on the ground, facing each other.

"Transform!" x2

The two simultaneously scanned the cards of the Ace of Spades and the Ace of Hearts.

"Turn Up!" (Flips over a card)

"Change!" (Mantis)

The two transformed at the same moment and charged at each other, beginning a battle that would determine their fate.

Kurihara Amane also came out of the house and, seeing the two fighting, anxiously shouted, "Stop it! You two, stop fighting!"

Both Kalis and Jian, who were in the middle of a battle, heard the voice and stopped what they were doing, looking at the voice.
