Am I a Kamen Rider or the real young master who was switched at birth?

The air in the woods became scorching and acrid the moment the black-armored soldiers charged out.

The trails of energy bullets left dense, dark purple streaks between the tree trunks, and the pine needles were charred and curled by the heat from the bullets. The air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and ozone.

Kamen Rider Decade stood in the center of the open space, his emerald green compound eyes scanning from left to right.

He tilted his head and muttered in a voice only he could hear, "Trying to use sheer numbers, huh—look at this."

He reached into the card box at his waist and pulled out a card using his index and middle fingers.

The card flashed briefly in the dim light filled with smoke, revealing three identical Decade silhouettes, each surrounded by layers of magenta phantom images.

He slammed the card into the belt slot, then grabbed the handle with one hand and violently pushed it towards the center.

"AttackRide—Illusion!"

The crystal core of the belt exploded with a magenta halo, which spread outwards from his body.

Immediately afterwards, the air on his left and right sides distorted simultaneously, and two blurry phantom images of Imperial armor emerged from the distorted air.

The outline of the phantom became clearer and more solid, eventually turning into two Kamen Rider Decades that looked exactly like him.

The three Imperial Knights stood side by side in a clearing covered with pine needles, then simultaneously turned to look at each other.

The central Decade drew his Ride Card Sword from his waist, the blade reflecting a cold, silvery-white arc of light in the sunlight.

He pointed his sword forward, his voice brimming with eager excitement: "Let's go!"

The next second, the three Imperial Knights charged out at the same time.

They spontaneously formed a triangular assault formation, with three people and six legs stepping on the pine needles, making a uniform rustling sound.

The clone on the left was the first to crash into the middle of the front row of the Hound Squad, sweeping his sword and forcing back the muzzles of several energy rifles in front of him.

The clone on the right flanks from the side, the blade of the Card Box Sword drawing an arc in the air as it slashes at the two snipers who are aiming at the main body.

The sword itself charged straight at the soldier at the front of the line, whose legs were unusually muscular, leaving a thin trail of sparks on the ground.

The final rider kicked a black-clad soldier who was trying to ambush him from behind.

His boots struck the energy shield generator on the opponent's chest, sending sparks flying.

The soldier was thrown backward and crashed into a pine tree. As he slid down, his helmet was askew, covering half of his face.

He pulled his leg back, the Diend driver spun around his wrist, and then settled steadily back into his palm.

He pulled the trigger, his body simultaneously spinning once in place, sending blue-green energy bullets flying in a 360-degree fan shape in all directions, hitting all the enemies trying to surround him from behind.

Several soldiers in black were hit in the chest by bullets, their shield generators overloaded and emitted black smoke, and they all collapsed to the ground convulsing.

The rider finally stopped spinning, with wisps of white smoke still rising from the muzzle of his gun.

He glanced at the three Imperial Knights charging through the crowd ahead and chuckled softly. "Young people are full of energy. Shi was just like that when he first got his Imperial Knight armor, wanting to take down all the enemies by himself."

Just as the three Imperial Knights were cutting through the crowd, a black figure silently descended from above the treetops.

He was a man wearing black hound armor, his leg muscles looking exceptionally strong beneath the combat suit.

The man's right eye was a red mechanical prosthetic eye, inside which a rapidly rotating lens was analyzing the movement trajectories of every Imperial Knight on the battlefield in real time.

He half-squatted on the ground, his mechanical eyes quickly scanning between the three Decade riders, locking onto the one in the middle.

Then, he exerted force with both legs, and his whole body shot straight towards the main body like a cannonball being launched.

He held a high-frequency vibrating short knife in each hand, the blades vibrating violently in the air, emitting a piercing buzzing sound, each vibration leaving a very fine energy residue in the air.

As he charged, he swung both swords simultaneously, the sound of the blades cutting through the air like the simultaneous hissing of two mad bees.

"Damn Decade! I'm a hound—I'll show you what I'm made of! Hound digs the ground!!!"

The Imperial Knight did not retreat. He rubbed the blade of his Cardcaptor Shojin against his left-hand armored glove, and a string of dazzling magenta sparks flew between the blade and the glove.

Then he took out the ultimate card from the card box and lightly tapped the card with his finger.

He inserted the card into the belt slot, and the belt's crystal core burst forth with a dazzling magenta light.

"Final AttackRide! De-De-De-Decade!"

Ten semi-transparent energy card light walls appeared one after another in front of him, locking onto Wolf, who was sprinting at high speed.

Imperial Knight crouched slightly, bending his right knee to a power-gathering angle. Then, gripping his sword in one hand, he shot out like an arrow along the path laid out by the wall of light.

Each time he smashed through a wall of light, the crimson glow on his sword's edge doubled in brightness, and his speed increased by one degree.

When he broke through the tenth light wall, his speed was so fast that the naked eye could only see a magenta afterimage.

Wolf's twin swords were still swinging in the air, and his mechanical eyes were still calculating Decade's movement trajectory.

The Imperial Knight's sword clashed with his twin blades, and the high-frequency vibrating blades exploded into a blinding burst of light the moment they collided with the magenta energy sword.

Immediately afterwards, his twin swords were deflected, leaving his center wide open, and the sword blade plunged straight in, slashing into his chest.

Wolf was sent flying by the slash, tumbling several times in the air before crashing heavily to the ground.

The energy shield generator on his chest had shattered completely, emitting a plume of black smoke.

The Imperial Knight sheathed his sword, the crimson light on its blade not yet completely dissipated.

He looked down at Wolf, who was lying on the ground struggling to get up, slung his sword over his shoulder, and said casually, "Thank you for your guidance, Hound."

At the edge of an open space not far away, Steel Bucket was engaged in a high-speed dogfight with a black-armored soldier.

The soldier also activated the armor's acceleration module, and the two chased each other through the woods, leaving afterimages in their wake.

But Steel Fighter was clearly faster. He bent down slightly to dodge a spinning kick from his opponent, then stepped forward with his front foot and cut in from an extremely tricky angle.

A deep blue afterimage sliced ​​through the air, and the black-clad soldiers who had been moving at high speed were hit at the same time, and then flew out in different directions.

Steel Bucket stood in the center of the open space, then its body transformed into a bluish-green phantom and vanished into thin air, leaving only a few deep grooves on the ground worn away by its high-speed movement.

Meanwhile, Caesar was wielding his long, purple lightsaber, cutting through the crowd like butter.

Each swing of the lightsaber left a scorching purple trail in the air. Several black-clad soldiers who tried to sneak up from behind were swept away by his sword and ended up colliding with each other.

After swatting away the last soldier who surrounded him with the back of his sword, he straightened up and scanned the area around him with his purple compound eyes, where there were no more enemies standing.

Then he sheathed his sword with his right hand, twisted his neck, and the light on the sword slowly faded.

Finally, like Steel Fighter, his body began to transform into blue-green light particles from his feet, dissipating into the air layer by layer.

Just as Steel Bucket and Caesar disappeared at the same time, the ground suddenly shook violently.

A tall, dark figure fell from mid-air, crashing to the ground with a deafening thud, the impact blasting away all the pine needles and soil beneath its feet.

The figure slowly straightened up. He was nearly two meters tall and covered in thick black heavy armor. He was equipped with a pair of huge impact gauntlets on his arms, with a faint red glow in the center of the gauntlets.

He raised his right fist high, the red light in the center of the glove suddenly became blindingly bright, and then he slammed it heavily onto the ground.

The moment the boxing gloves made contact with the ground, a visible shockwave of gravity spread violently in all directions.

Wherever the shockwave passed, pine needles were uprooted, soil was overturned, and the trunks of several nearby pine trees were cracked.

Decade and Finale both glanced in that direction at the same time, and then they both jumped high into the air almost simultaneously.

Kamen Rider Decade tumbled through the air over the mud blasted by the shockwave, reached into his card case, pulled out his special move card, and inserted it into his belt slot.

"Final AttackRide! De-De-De-Decade!"

Ten magenta energy card light walls appeared one after another in the void beneath his feet, arranged in a straight line from top to bottom, locking onto the warrior on the ground who was holding a giant shield.

The Imperial Knight flipped halfway in the air, then his right foot landed down, and crimson energy flames ignited at the bottom of his boots.

He passed through the first wall of light, energy surging from the shattered cards into his right leg, instantly increasing his speed.

Luo Shan, the heavy hammer, half-squatted on the ground, raising his right arm high. Then, an energy shield emitting red light appeared out of thin air from his gauntlet.

He raised his shield high above his head, planted his feet firmly on the ground, and let out a low growl.

The crimson knight's kick slammed into the energy shield, creating a massive energy shockwave upon impact. The red light on the shield's surface clashed fiercely with the crimson glow on the Imperial Knight's boots, producing a piercing sound of energy friction.

Heavy Hammer gritted his teeth, the armor on his arms creaking from the impact.

Zhongqi pulled out a card while in mid-air, spun around gracefully, and then stuck the card into the gun.

The Diend Driver emitted a deep, resonant sound: "KamenRide! Kiva!"

He raised his gun, aimed at the ground, and pulled the trigger.

A blue-green energy bullet shot out from the muzzle, bypassing the Imperial Knight who was using Knight Kick to suppress the heavy hammer.

It drew a smooth arc in the air before landing behind the hammer.

Upon landing, it exploded into a ball of blue-green flames. After the light dissipated, Kamen Rider Geki appeared behind Hammer.

Luna's armor is predominantly silver and dark red, with a helmet shaped like a bat. His right leg is bound by a long silver chain, the end of which drags on the ground with a slight metallic clanging sound.

His compound eyes were a translucent gold, glowing faintly in the shadows.

Luna spread his arms and leaped forward, grabbing the broad back of the heavy hammer with both hands. Then, he gripped the seams of the hammer's shoulder armor with his fingers and pulled it down forcefully.

Hammer was focused on resisting the Knight Kick from the Decade when he was suddenly grabbed from behind by Luna. His center of gravity instantly lost its balance, and his shield tilted to the side.

That one kick was enough to send the Imperial Knight's Rider Kick through the gap in the shield, the boots striking the thickest armor plate on the Heavy Hammer's chest.

The heavy hammer's breastplate was immediately dented by the impact, and the person was sent flying backward.

He crashed into and broke the trunks of several pine trees before finally slid several meters into the mud and came to a stop.

He lay on the ground, the red light on his armor flashing violently several times before going out.

The heavy-duty soldier, known in the team as "Bulldozer," tried to stand up, but before his hands could even touch the ground, his body convulsed violently, and his limbs went limp again.

The final rider pulled out another card, inserted it into the reading slot of the Diend Driver, and then raised his gun to aim at Luna.

"Final FormRide! Ki-Ki-Ki-Kiva!"

He whispered in the direction of Luna, "The pain is only temporary. You're not really Luna," and then pulled the trigger.

Luna's body suddenly stiffened at that moment, and then began to deform violently.

His arms and legs contracted into his torso, and the bat belt in the center of his waist flipped open, revealing a complex internal mechanical structure.

The armor on his back unfolded to the sides, and in a short time, he transformed from a human knight into a strangely shaped giant bow and arrow floating in mid-air.

The bow is bright gold, and the handle is an enlarged version of Luna's bat belt. The bow arms at both ends are engraved with dense dark gold runes.

The final rider reached out and took another card from the card case, then inserted it into the reading slot of the Diend Driver.

A rousing sound effect erupted from the gun barrel: "Final Attack Ride! Ki-Ki-Ki-Kiva!"

He took the Moonrider's Bow down from the air, gripped the bow with his left hand and the bowstring with his right, took a deep breath, and then drew back the bowstring.

The dark gold runes on the bow lit up the moment he drew the bowstring, and a crimson energy arrow automatically condensed on the bowstring, its tip pointing directly at the heavy hammer lying on the ground.

The mechanical structure inside the bow emitted a deep, resonant sound—"Kiva, to the ground!"

He released the bowstring, and a crimson energy arrow flew out.

The energy wrapped around the arrow left a scorching crimson trail in the air, striking the dent in the chest of the heavy hammer precisely, like a shooting star that had been kicked by the Imperial Knight.

The impact caused a violent explosion, and the crimson energy shockwave shook all the surrounding pine trees violently, lifting the soil several meters high.

After the explosion, Heavy Hammer lay in the center of a charred, shallow crater, completely unconscious.

Imperial Knight sheathed his sword and turned to look at the final knight behind him.

The final rider tossed the Moon Rider Bow aside, and the bow automatically transformed back into the Moon Rider form in mid-air. Then, the Moon Rider vanished into the air as a bluish-green phantom.

He reached into the card box at his waist and pulled out the fake King of Silent Beasts crystal core, its eerie purple light shimmering between his fingers.

He casually tossed the crystal core aside and said in a relaxed tone, "I'll help you this time since we're destined to meet. But next time we meet, I'll find the real treasure—and the price won't be this high."

He put the crystal core back into the card holder, then took out another card and inserted it into the Diend driver's read slot.

"AttackRide—Invisible!"

Blue-green energy particles surged from the muzzle of the gun, covering his entire body.

His body outline began to blur and become transparent, and his blue-green armor gradually blended into the surrounding forest background.

He took a step back and casually raised his right hand to give Imperial Knight a salute.

"See you next time, kid. Tell that old man—his security system still has room for improvement."

After a flash of blue light, Zhongqi's figure disappeared completely into the woods, leaving only a few scorch marks on the ground from the bullets.
