Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 402 Ultimate W, Shinkuro Isaka's Pledge of Allegiance

"Hey hey hey, why are you all Kamen Riders? Did I accidentally intrude on Kamen Rider's headquarters?"

As the Nightmare Hybrid spoke, Nasca's crimson wings flapped, and it covered more than ten meters, arriving in front of the Nightmare Hybrid. It then swung the Nazca Holy Sword down at the Nightmare Hybrid with both hands.

"Bang!"

Sparks burst from the Nightmare Hybrid's body, and it was instantly cleaved away by Nasca's sword, crashing into the rubble.

Before the Nightmare Admixture could rise from the rubble, Nasca whispered.

"Super high speed!"

Nasca's figure instantly transformed into a blurry afterimage, his Nazca Holy Sword slashing back and forth at the Nightmare Hybrid, sending it staggering about, with bursts of sparks shooting out from its body.

After Nasca stopped, the Nightmare Doppelganger also fell to the ground, unable to get up for a moment.

Nasca looked at the fallen Nightmare Doppelganger, pulled out the Nazca Memory, and inserted it into the slot on the Nazca Sword.

"Nasca! Maximum Drive!"

Nasca reached out and pressed the button on the Nazca Sword, then gripped the hilt with both hands. An orange-red halo appeared on the blade of the Nazca Sword.

Behind him, two cloaks moved without wind, transforming into a pair of crimson wings of light that propelled Nasca horizontally, rapidly approaching the Nightmare Dopant.

Just as Nasca and the Nightmare Hybrid were about to pass each other, Nasca, who was holding the Nazca Sword in both hands, also swung the Nazca Sword. A flash of sword light appeared, and a sword mark appeared on the Nightmare Hybrid's waist.

"Ugh!" The Nightmare Hybrid screamed as its body exploded.

But soon, the fire and smoke from the explosion receded as if time had reversed, and then the Nightmare Dopant appeared unharmed before Nasca's eyes.

"What?!" Nasca was also shocked to see the Nightmare Doppelganger intact.

"Even if you are Kamen Riders, as long as you are still in your dreams, you are no match for me!" Nightmare Doppelganger said, and his figure suddenly disappeared before Nasca's eyes.

The next moment, the Nightmare Doppelganger appeared in front of Nasca as if it had teleported, and slapped Nasca across the face, sending him flying through a wall and crashing into the ruins.

The Nightmare Doppelganger flung out the disc in its hand, which quickly flew to the top of Nasca's head and enveloped him.

Nasca, caught in the large net within the disc, struggled for a while before losing consciousness, just like Accel.

……

Narumi Detective Agency.

After watching period dramas all night, Shotaro couldn't help but rub his temples.

"Zao Heiji..."

"Oh no! Shotaro-kun! Shotaro-kun!" Akiko Narumi ran to the office, flung open the curtain, and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw that Shotaro Hidari was still awake.

"You're alright, that's great."

"Akiko, what's wrong?" Shotaro asked curiously.

"Kihiko-kun... he's been captured by the Dopant!" Narumi Akiko said.

"What?!" Shotaro exclaimed in surprise, turning to look out the window and discovering that it was already broad daylight. "Ah! It's already morning?"

Period dramas are a killer! He only wanted to watch them to help him sleep, but he ended up watching them all night.

"Beep beep beep."

Just then, Shotaro's stag beetle-shaped cell phone, which was on his desk, suddenly rang.

Shotaro Sato got off the bed in the office, walked barefoot to his desk, picked up the stag beetle phone, and answered the call.

"detective!"

"What's wrong, Shin-chan?" Shotaro asked.

"The section chief has been captured by Dopant," Masakura Toshi said.

"What? Even Terui fell victim to Dopant's evil deeds?" Upon hearing this, Shotaro's expression turned serious, and he immediately understood the gravity of the situation.

"Dragon Lord? What happened to Dragon Lord?" Akiko Narumi came over and asked.

"Teruichi has also been captured by Dopant. This is serious now," said Shotaro Hidari, hanging up the phone with a grave expression.

Thinking of this, Shotaro quickly tidied up and went to find Philip, who was sleeping in the basement, to ask him to search.

Upon receiving the message, Philip slowly closed his eyes, opened his arms, and entered the Earth Library.

"The keywords are: dream, Fuuto University, narcolepsy, H." Philip looked at the Earth Library, which had been reduced in size but still retained a large number of bookshelves, and said, "Aren't the keywords enough to lock onto the Dopant's true form?"

"Then, this time I'm going to fall asleep and avenge Teruichi and Kirihiko." With that, Shotaro Sato planned to leave the basement.

"Wait a minute, Shotaro. It's too dangerous to enter the dream without knowing the other party's abilities," Philip advised.

"What should we do then?!" Shotaro said irritably.

"I'll keep searching and see if I can find some solutions," Philip replied.

Shotaro scratched his head in frustration, turned around and walked down the stairs, intending to leave the underground base.

"Wait a minute, where are you going!" Akiko Narumi asked hurriedly.

"I can't just stand here waiting, I need to go see Himeka," Shotaro replied, stopping in his tracks.

……

The Sonozaki family.

Inside the banquet hall, five people were seated at a table that was nearly ten meters long.

Narumi Shokichi ate his meal quietly, his gaze casually sweeping over the four people present, finally settling on Isaka Shinkuro.

How did this guy end up here?

What are that man's plans?

Narumi Shokichi fell into deep thought.

Saeko Sonozaki and Wakana Sonozaki looked at Shinkuro Isaka, who was eating by himself, with some confusion on their faces.

I really don't understand why Father would let someone like that join the Sonozaki family.

Sonozaki Ryubei stroked Mick's fur, smiling as she looked at Narumi Shoki, who was having a meal, and said, "Shoki-kun, it seems the Kamen Riders of Fuuto have discovered a user of the Nightmare Memory. The Nightmare Memory is a very promising memory; its data is very useful for museum research. I hope Shoki-kun can stop those Riders."

"I understand." Upon hearing this, Narumi Shokichi put down his knife and fork, picked up the hat on the table, put it on his head, and got up to leave the banquet hall.

After watching Narumi Shokichi leave, Sonozaki Ryubei turned to Isaka Mikuro and asked, "Isaka-kun, would you be so kind as to let me see that Ultimate Memory?"

"The ultimate memory?" Saeko Sonozaki was startled.

"Of course. But, Sonozaki-san, who do you want me to deal with?" Upon hearing this, Isaka Mikuro put down his fork, picked up a napkin, wiped his mouth, and asked with a smile.

"Let's start with Narumi Shokichi," said Sonozaki Ryuhei.

Narumi Shokichi's Skull form is immune to his mental attacks, posing a great threat to him.

He had always suspected that Shen Yun resurrected Narumi Shoki in order to keep him in check.

"No problem." A chilling smile appeared on Isaka Shinkuro's face.

After saying that, Isaka Shinkuro stood up from his seat and left the banquet hall.

He knew very well that this was a pledge he had to make.

"Father, what's wrong?" Sonozaki Saeko asked Sonozaki Ryubei, looking at him with confusion.

"Our Sonozaki family is the chosen family of Earth. One Sonozaki family is enough to rule this world," Sonozaki Ryubei said coldly, glancing at Sonozaki Saeko.

"Saeko, although I don't know what you're plotting, I hope you can sever ties with the X Group as soon as possible."

After finishing her sentence, Sonozaki Ryubei got up from her seat, put her hands behind her back, and walked out.

Saeko Sonozaki gripped her knife and fork tightly, her face turning quite grim.

When Sonozaki Wakana saw Sonozaki Saeko's pale face, she surprisingly didn't say anything sarcastic, but her eyes were filled with sadness.

Why did such a good family turn out like this?

……

Fengdu University.

Shotaro Hidari and Akiko Narumi walked towards the research lab.

"Detective!"

Himeka Yukimura's voice came from behind the two of them.

Upon hearing this, both Shotaro and Akiko Narumi stopped and turned around to look.

Yukimura Himeka rushed over, carrying a pink alarm clock in one hand and a folder in the other, and said anxiously, "Please don't interfere in this matter anymore."

"What happened?" Shotaro asked.

Yukimura Himeka took a breath and quickly explained, "Just now, I accidentally dozed off, and the monster appeared in my dream again. The monster told me to stop investigating, Detective, or it would make you, the detective, and your assistant fall into a coma."

"Himeka, I'm so scared, so scared~" Yukimura Himeka said pitifully, waving her hands.

Seeing Yukimura Himeka's affected expression, Narumi Akiko also showed a hint of disdain on her face.

However, Shotaro Satoshi was quite taken with this.

"It's alright." Shotaro raised his hand, turned around with a flourish, and said, "No matter how dangerous it is, I will never abandon my client. That's what a detective is all about—no!"

As he spoke, Shotaro suddenly turned around, slowly walked up to Himeka Yukimura, rubbed the brim of his hat with his fingertips, and said coolly, "This is my ironclad rule!"

As Yukimura Himeka watched the dashing Shotaro Hidari, the folder slipped from her hand. As if she had found someone to lean on, she threw herself into Shotaro Hidari's arms and hugged him.

"Oh, that's right." Shotaro was suddenly hugged by Himeka Yukimura, and the corners of his mouth began to turn up.

Yukimura Himeka hugged Shotaro Sasaki and said, "You really are the one I'm destined for, Prince Himeka."

"Haha." Upon hearing this, Shotaro couldn't help but chuckle foolishly.

"I still don't really like this woman," Akiko Narumi said through gritted teeth, looking at the sullen and aloof Himeka Yukimura.

Not far away, Narumi Shokichi looked at Shotaro's infatuated expression and sighed softly.

This kid is really a half-baked amateur.

"Beep beep beep."

The ringing of the stag beetle's phone snapped Shotaro out of his daze.

Shotaro quickly pulled his stag beetle-shaped phone out of his pocket and answered, asking, "Hey, Philip, what's up?"

"The search results show we've found the only effective strategy. Let's give it a try."

Outside Fengdu University, Philip carried a pillow on a cloth and walked into the university while talking on the phone.

Behind Philip, a bird-shaped Gaia Memory flew through the air, occasionally letting out a cry like an eagle.

On the playground of Fengdu University.

After Philip met up with Shotaro and Akiko Narumi, he took off the bundle he was carrying and tossed it to Shotaro, saying, "Shotaro, I brought your pillow."

Shotaro stepped forward, caught the pillow Philip threw at him, and said, "Oh, thank you."

After watching Shotaro put on the W Driver and then place the pillow on the grass, Akiko Narumi asked curiously, "Hey, what are you guys doing?"

Philip lay on the ground and explained, "If I transform into W and fall asleep while our consciousnesses are connected, I might be able to enter Shotaro's dream."

Meanwhile, Shotaro, who was already lying on the ground, took out the Ace Memory from the inside pocket of his clothes.

After Philip lay down, he also took out the Gale Memory and gently pressed the button on the memory.

"Cyclone!"

"Joker!"

"Hen Shin!"

After Philip inserted the Gale Memory into the W Drive, his head lolled to the side and he lost consciousness.

Meanwhile, the Hayate Memory that Philip inserted into the W Driver, carrying Philip's consciousness, was transferred to the W Driver on Shotaro's waist.

Shotaro Sato inserted the Hayate Memory and Ace Memory into the slots of the W Drive in turn, and then pushed them to the sides.

"Cyclone! Joker!"

Green and purple lightning flashed, and countless fragments of armor, accompanied by the whistling wind, covered Shotaro's body.

After transforming into W, Shotaro picked up the brainwave device that was placed to the side, put it on his helmet, and said, "Well then, I'll go first. To the world of dreams."

"Good afternoon, Aki-chan," Philip said.

"Huh?"

Because he stayed up all night watching period dramas, as soon as Shotaro Zuo touched his pillow, waves of drowsiness washed over him, and he fell asleep in the blink of an eye. With the help of the device, he entered the world of dreams.

After W fell asleep, a figure also came to the top of the stands on the playground, looking at W and Philip lying on the ground from a distance, as well as Narumi Akiko guarding the two of them.

"Nightmare hybrid?" Narumi Shokichi murmured.

Although Sonozaki Ryubei arranged for him to thwart W's actions, whether or not he actually took action was still up to him.

At least for now, he doesn't intend to bother them.

"Grow up quickly, Shotaro." Narumi Shokichi placed his hands on the railing above the audience seats, then reached down to lower the brim of his hat, concealing the fleeting tenderness in his eyes.

"Otherwise..." Even Narumi Shokichi's cold and tough face couldn't help but show a hint of worry.

After developing the W Driver, Wen Yin told him that W has an ultimate form.

Only when W evolves to its ultimate form can it truly destroy the museum and protect Fuuto under the control of Foundation X.
