Special effects: Starting with Ultraman Tiga

Chapter 419 Kamen Rider Cyclone Zero Dopant

Shen Yun and Isaka Shinkuro also witnessed the riots that occurred on the coast of Fuuto.

"I heard that this Zoo Memory was given to Zenkoji Toshihide by the organization. However, it was stolen before he even had a chance to use it. He even went to the organization to ask them to help him retrieve the Zoo Memory." Isaka Shinkuro picked up a cup of black tea on the table, took a sip, and said with a sneer.

"It's just an experimental product for upgrading Gaia memory components, so Sonozaki-san probably won't care much," Shen Yun said calmly, watching the commotion on the shore.

For Sonozaki Ryuhei, it doesn't matter who uses the Zoo Memory.

In any case, as long as the Zoo Memory is used, a large amount of data can be provided.

Although there are many Gaia Memory biological exoskeleton kits in the Gaia Memory processing factory inside Zishan, the only memory that has actually been equipped with a Gaia Memory biological exoskeleton kit is probably the Zoo Memory.

If the zoo memory performs poorly, then naturally there will be no follow-up.

If things go as expected, this Gaia Memory bio-exoskeleton kit will be discarded by the museum after this incident.

"That's true, but the organization still sent someone to handle this matter. It seems to be an executioner named Zero," said Isaka Shinkuro, putting down his teacup.

"Zero? That's a very troublesome memory."

……

At this time, Philip also encountered the biggest crisis he had ever faced.

"Are you the real zookeeper?" Philip asked, looking at the figure emerging from the cave.

"The zoo? You've mistaken me for someone else," Zero said as he approached Philip.

"Other...dopants?!" Philip asked gravely.

The dopant in front of us is completely different from the dopant in the zoo.

His entire body was pitch black, without a single blemish, and almost devoid of any detailed construction.

Only some traces of the mixed-race features remained on his face, and he had only a pair of eyes that shone with a sharp light; he had no nose and no mouth.

Apart from the concave circle in the center of his chest, there was nothing else particularly noticeable about his body.

It stands in stark contrast to the colorful and intricately detailed zoo-like hybrids.

"You're W, aren't you?" The black dopant asked, but its tone was very certain.

Upon hearing this, Philip's heart tightened. Instead of calling them Kamen Riders, he immediately referred to them as W, indicating that such opponents were extremely dangerous.

Because this means he might be at the core of the organization.

"Fang! Attack him!" Philip shouted.

Upon hearing this, Fang immediately stopped attacking Zoo and turned to rush towards the black dopant.

At the same time, Zoo released Extreme and ran away.

Extreme's wing was bitten open by Zoo, causing it to lose its balance and be forced to make an emergency landing on the ground.

"Awooo!" Fang roared and pounced on the black hybrid in front of him.

The black impurity simply raised its hand and used its palm to block Fang's lunge.

After Fang bumped into the black, mixed-type hand, he suddenly went limp and fell to the ground with a thud, motionless.

"How could this be?!" Philip looked at Fang, who seemed to have lost his function, and a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"Anything I touch will turn to nothingness," the hybrid said in a low voice with a smile.

"This is bad..." Philip could only retreat as the black dopant continued to approach him.

Fang and Extreme were both damaged, and there was no one left to protect him.

The black dopant slowly raised its hand, intending to grab Philip and take him back.

Just then, a gunshot rang out, and a cluster of tiny sparks suddenly exploded on the body of the black hybrid.

The sudden turn of events made him look up.

On the cliff stood a woman holding a red Magnum, her entire body wrapped in a black trench coat, wearing a black hat, her face wrapped in bandages, and black sunglasses that covered most of her face.

"Shroud!" Philip shouted.

Shroud throws a red and silver object at Philip.

Philip quickly reached out and caught it, and after seeing it clearly, his eyes widened.

"This is... the Lost Drive?!" Philip exclaimed in surprise.

Seeing the Lost Driver fall into Philip's hands, the black dopant abandoned its contempt and quickly ran towards Philip.

"Bang bang bang!"

Shroud fired at him again, the crimson bullet hitting the black dopant but only creating tiny sparks; the black dopant remained completely unaffected.

Seeing the black dopant approaching him, Philip didn't have time to think and immediately put the Lost Driver on his waist.

He only has three memory modules: Cyclone, Heat, and Luna, but he only has one option—the one that best suits him.

Philip took out the Gale Memory and lightly pressed the button on it.

"Cyclone!"

After the memory emitted a call to action, Philip inserted the Gale Memory into the Lost Driver's slot and then calmed himself down by pressing his right chin against his right hand.

"Hen Shin!" Philip used his remaining hand to push the Lost Driver away.

"Cyclone!"

A green whirlwind pattern appeared on the surface of the Lost Driver, followed by a green lightning bolt that shot out from the center of the Lost Driver, forming a green ring that enveloped Philip's body.

Green armor fragments, accompanied by a fierce gust of wind, covered Philip's body.

Faced with the howling wind, the black hybrid couldn't help but adopt a defensive stance to avoid being blown away.

After the transformation ended, Philip looked down at his body.

This was the first time he had transformed into a Kamen Rider on his own.

Philip examined his hands. His left and right hands, which had previously appeared to be different colors in W's view, had now turned completely green.

In other words, he has now transformed into a green-clad Kamen Rider.

Indeed, Philip's current appearance, apart from being entirely green with white stripes all over his body and lacking a central barrier, is almost identical to his W Gale Ace form.

As the strong wind subsided, the scarf around Cyclone's neck fluttered down.

"Kisama, Nanimonoda?" The black dopant lowered its hands, looked at the green Kamen Rider that appeared before it, and questioned him.

"Now let's come up with a name. I am..." Philip stepped forward and pointed to the black dopant, answering:

"Kamen Rider Cyclone!"

Philip, transformed into Kamen Rider Cyclone, engages in battle with the black hybrid on the beach below the cliff.

Knowing that the other party's ability was strange, Cyclone dared not collide with his body. He could only swing his arm quickly, using the cutting force generated by the air, and was about to cut a gash in the black hybrid's body.

"Just playing tricks." The black hybrid said coldly, raising its hand to block Cyclone's fist.

The moment he touched her, Cyclone suddenly felt a loss of strength in her right hand.

Cyclone looked down and saw that his right hand had fallen limply to his side, as if it didn't belong to him and was completely out of his control.

Philip was startled; this was the same situation as Fang's earlier.

What kind of memory is this thing?

Before Cyclone could think any further, the black dopant raised its hand again and reached out to grab Cyclone.

Seeing the black doppelganger's outstretched arm, Cyclone dodged it by turning half its body and escaped to the side, creating distance between itself and the doppelganger.

In that instant, Cyclone saw the dopant's palm covered with intricate lines, the shapes of which resembled countless layers of twisted ellipses overlapping each other.

In addition, he had previously said that anything he touched would turn to nothingness.

In other words, this dopant can instantly reduce an object's energy to zero simply by touching it with the palm of your hand.

To give an example, even if you launch a missile at him, he can catch it with his palm and turn it into a pile of scrap metal.

What a formidable opponent.

"Is your memory Zero?" Cyclone asked, clutching her exhausted right arm and looking at the black dopant.

Although this was just his speculation, he couldn't find any other words to describe this ability.

"As expected of W." The black dopant also admitted.

"Since you've realized it, it means you understand that you can't beat me, right..." Zero said, stepping forward and grabbing at me with a fierce palm strike.

Cyclone jumped with great force, creating a gentle breeze.

After being exposed to the wind, Cyclone suddenly felt a surge of power flowing from his body, which restored sensation to his exhausted right arm at a visible speed.

"This..." Cyclone was taken aback when she felt the changes in her body, but she quickly came to her senses.

"It's the wind!"

The wind was absorbed into his body, slowly restoring his strength.

At the same time, Cyclone was also absorbing air and restoring his strength through the gaps in his white, streamlined body.

Sensing this, Cyclone immediately launched a counterattack against Zero, attempting to incorporate more jumping movements into its attacks.

Although Zero was somewhat confused by Cyclone's sudden change in fighting style, his movements did not falter at all, and he reached out to grab Cyclone.

Cyclone leaped into the air, spun around with his knees drawn up, and passed over Zero's head. Then, he kicked Zero in the back, causing Zero to stumble and almost fall to the ground.

"Damn it!" Zero steadied himself and turned to pounce on Cyclone.

Cyclone constantly dodges Zero's attacks by jumping and retaliates against Zero.

The wind is howling, the wind is roaring.

Cyclone's body was enveloped in swirling gusts of wind, transforming into a vibrant green storm that swirled around Cyclone before being kicked towards Zero below.

Zero also raised his leg and kicked at Cyclone.

"Bang!"

Their feet collided, and Cyclone and Zero each jumped back a step.

Cyclone steadied itself, a slight unease settling in its heart.

Even with the wind's help, Zero still firmly held the initiative.

It seems we have no choice but to fight it out.

Cyclone pulled out the Gale Memory and loaded it into the special attack slot on the right side of his belt.

"Cyclone! Maximum Drive!"

The whirlwind surrounding Cyclone expanded at a visible speed, and Cyclone charged towards the enemy amidst the whirlwind, slashing down with a single hand strike.

Zero tried to grab it with his palm, but Cyclone was slightly faster and dodged his grabbing hand at the last second, striking his right shoulder instead.

"Ugh!" Zero winced in pain, letting out a muffled groan before staggering back several steps.

Because Cyclone was somewhat wary of his abilities, this attack failed to destroy his memory.

"You're pretty good at this. I'll have to be more careful in the future." Zero clutched his right shoulder, then leaped up and swung over the cliff to retreat.

Seeing Zero retreat, Cyclone breathed a sigh of relief.

I should thank Shroud.

Cyclone looked around, but Shroud was no longer in his sight.

Just then, a few faint chirps came from above his head, sounding like Fang's voice.

Cyclone subconsciously looked up and saw that Shroud had already retrieved Fang and Extreme, which should have been lying on the ground, and was now standing on the cliff.

It seemed that after confirming his victory, he planned to leave without saying a word.

"Wait, Shroud!" Cyclone chased after him.

Cyclone used the trees to catch up with Shroud.

Shroud slowly turned around, looked at Cyclone who had caught up, and said calmly, "Extreme is the flight control panel, and Fang suffered some damage to the energy circuitry. I will repair them. In the meantime, let the Lost Driver protect you."

"Th-thank you." Cyclone thanked Shroud. Although Shroud was dressed in a sinister manner, Cyclone did not feel that way. Instead, she felt a desire to get closer to her.

"No need to thank me. In the end, if Shotaro Hidari were still alive, you wouldn't be in this crisis at all. You should be more disappointed in Shotaro Hidari than thank me," Shroud said calmly.

Cyclone closed the driver, deactivated the transformation, pulled out the Hayate Memory, looked at Shroud with her bare face, and said seriously, "This time, the alternation detective was entirely my own idea. Not only did Shotaro not hold it against me, but he also endured his illness to help me. I don't feel any disappointment at all."

"That's just his naiveté; he doesn't even examine his own state of mind."

"I think this naiveté is necessary. W is no fighting machine," Philip said.

W, who inherited the will of Narumi Shokichi, is a guardian hidden in the shadows of the city.

We cannot be strong, nor can we be gentle.

Both are indispensable.

"You'll find out someday. After you know the power of the ultimate W." Shroud said, then turned and left.

Philip watched Shroud's departing figure and fell silent.

Is it really possible for an ultimate W to exist that surpasses Extreme?

……

Zenon Hotel.

"It's so noisy. Why don't I force W out?" Isaka Shinkuro looked at the noisy hotel lobby, a fierce glint in his eyes.

He didn't want to wait any longer.

"No need to rush. He'll find out the truth by tomorrow morning at the latest. Fang Joker alone can't handle the infiltrators in this hotel. You can make your move then," Shen Yun said calmly, glancing at the hotel staff.
