The battle was over, and Gengo was fully aware of this. He let out a long breath, placed his hand on the Lost Driver, and wanted to close it to deactivate the transformation. However, his hand, which was about to exert force, froze on the driver. The boy seemed to be venting his emotions one last time. His shoulders trembled slightly, and he let out an uncontrollable sob. After a long, long time, Kamen Rider Skull trembled and exhaled, then closed the driver without hesitation, revealing the boy with reddened eyes.
Gengo wiped the tears from his cheeks, blew his nose with a tissue, put the 'Skull' memory into his pocket, and walked towards the four Kamen Riders who were still unconscious. They had already deactivated their transformations and revealed their faces.
Just as Gensou was about to transport them back to the Reunion Movement, the crossbow used by the green knight suddenly made a sound:
"Hello, sir, if you could help me out... Ah~~~ Please calm down, please."
Gensou gripped the 'Fang', which gleamed with a pale white light, looked at the weapon, and said softly:
"I don't know how you need my help."
"It's simple, just give me a push. I'm so tired right now, I don't even have the strength to turn back."
"......"
Gengo didn't speak, but simply took out 'Cyclone' and, by connecting to his own 'blank', temporarily gained some ability to control the wind. He used the wind to flip the weapon over, and then a strange figure that looked like a combination of Musashibo Benkei and a Tengu appeared in front of Gengo.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Tianjin Si. Please take care of me. Also, thank you so much for saving Yuto. I am truly grateful!!!"
The strange man expressed his gratitude to Gensou quite politely. If he weren't currently exhausted, who knows how obsequious he would have been. Gensou, however, waved his hand and looked at the strange man expressionlessly, saying:
"Forget the pleasantries, just tell me, what are you planning to do? Do you simply want to turn back?"
"That's right. Please lend a hand and help Yuto and the others move them to the other side of the mountain. Yuto's train is right there."
As Tianjin Shibian spoke, he struggled to stand up, wanting to carry the young man named 'Yuto' on his back. However, he was so exhausted that after finally managing to lift Yuto's upper body, his legs gave way and he collapsed with a cry. If Gensho hadn't caught him in time, he would have definitely fallen on top of Yuto.
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry to have troubled you again. Ah... this battle was really too reckless, everyone is really exhausted."
"Forget it, don't force yourself."
Gengo took a deep breath and transformed back into Kamen Rider 'Cyclone'. He summoned a gust of wind and dragged the group of five people towards the other side of the mountain. Just as they flew over the mountaintop, Gengo saw a train with bull horns on it parked at the foot of the mountain. The train was badly damaged, clearly having gone through a fierce battle.
"What about the other train?"
"Eh?"
Yuanxiang's seemingly nonsensical question startled Tianjin Si, who tilted his head in a rather endearing way.
"I saw you before, in the sky. This train and another train seemed to be fighting something. Wasn't that you?"
"It really is us. I never expected that we would have such a connection with you. Um... As for the whereabouts of the other train, I'm sorry, I don't know either. After that wicked woman disappeared, Yuto and I separated from them to clean up the mess left from the previous battle, and then we got trapped here. I don't even know how many days we've been trapped here. Anyway, it's been a really, really long time..."
Because he was too exhausted, Tianjin Si's words were somewhat incoherent, and Yuanxiang did not continue to ask questions. Just from the fact that they had appeared in several worlds, it was clear that their experience this time could be talked about for a long time. Rather than listening to this strange man's illogical ramblings, it was better to let him rest for a while.
"Hooray, welcome to Zero Train!"
As Gensho led everyone onto the train, Tianjin Si suddenly shouted enthusiastically, startling Gensho. Then, the strange man struggled to his feet and said to Gensho:
"Thank you for your help. Now let me take good care of everyone and also entertain you properly!"
"You've finally regained some strength, so just behave yourself."
Seeing Tianjin Si's unsteady steps, Yuanxiang sighed helplessly and pressed him down on the sofa, but the strange man still struggled, muttering incoherently:
"No, no, no, you're a guest, and Yuto hasn't woken up yet, so I absolutely have to... um..."
Before Tianjin Si could finish speaking, Fang's cold light was already pressed against its neck. Yuanxiang looked at him expressionlessly and said:
"I'm also very tired right now and don't want to waste my breath, so can you just listen to me?"
"...Yes, Your Excellency."
The four men from Tianjin sat obediently in their seats. Seeing this, Yuanxiang sighed wearily, rolled up his sleeves, and said:
"Is there a kitchen? I'll get you some food to tide you over."
After finishing his work in the kitchen, Gensou left the train and stood on the mountaintop, looking at the spot where the barrier had just been. To be honest, the strange head made Gensou very uneasy. Souls and emotions are very mysterious things.
Therefore, to prevent it from coming back to life, Gensou decided to keep an eye on it for a while. Otherwise, he really couldn't rest easy. After all, that thing was definitely not something Talulah and the others could handle. As a friend, he had a duty to keep an eye on it for them!
And so, in the howling cold wind, Yuanxiang lay hidden in the shadows until dawn.
155 The Knights' Pact
Hmm... I have a bit of a headache...
After keeping watch all night, Gensou gently tapped his head, leaned against the tree next to him, and took a deep breath. Although he had managed to get rid of the 'madness' through his own willpower, the damage caused by the burning of his soul was still very real. Gensou now felt like he was sleepwalking.
But it's not a big problem. I can just get a good night's sleep when I have some free time. It's nothing serious.
Yuanxiang stretched in the sun, then slowly walked towards the tram. The strange head should be completely cooled down now, so there was no need to worry about it anymore. He decided to go back and find something to eat.
"Welcome back!"
"Tianjin Fourth, haven't you been sleeping at all?"
Just as Yuanxiang got back into the car, he saw Tianjin Si stand up and greet him like a butler, so he couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. Tianjin Si scratched the back of his head sheepishly and said:
"I've rested for a while now, and my energy is quite abundant. Hehe, we can't let you keep working for us all the time."
"It's nothing, just a small favor."
Yuanxiang sat down opposite Tianjin Si, glanced at the fruit platter, casually picked up an apple, took a bite, and said:
"But now that you've rested, tell me what exactly happened? And what exactly is that Seed of the Holy Stone?"
"Hmm!! You actually know about the Seed of the Sacred Stone! It seems you've been investigating this matter quite thoroughly. Hmm... Actually, this matter is rather unbelievable. Even though Yuto and I have been working on this for so long, it still feels incredible."
Tianjin Si stroked his chin and said with emotion:
"Here's the thing, a woman named 'Precia Testarossa' escaped from another world... no, from another universe, using unknown means to get here. She seems to be conducting research on the resurrection of the dead, but due to an accident, she learned about the Time Train, which is the train we are on now. Immediately, she had evil intentions and wanted to find a way to control time by studying the Time Train. As a result, many Time Trains were attacked by her."
At this point, Tianjin Si's mood became somewhat low. Although he didn't explicitly state the fate of the attacked train, it seemed self-evident. Yuanxiang patted him on the shoulder reassuringly, and Tianjin Si cheered up, continuing:
"Given her reckless behavior, the people at the final station naturally wouldn't ignore it, so they set a trap, intending to gang up on her and take her down, but... with the Seed of the Holy Stone, she was simply too strong..."
The Seed of the Sacred Stone is an ancient legacy from another universe. It is said to be a gem that can "grant wishes," but it is actually a dimensional interference type energy crystal. Currently, a total of twenty-one have been observed, each marked with a serial number from 1 to 21. However, its properties are not related to the serial number, and they are almost all the same.
Even a single Holy Stone Seed, unleashing only a fraction of its power, could trigger a small-scale dimensional tremor. Therefore, the siege was extremely fierce. It could be said that after this battle, the terminal station was temporarily shut down, but the woman also paid a corresponding price.
When she fled the battlefield, she only had one usable Holy Stone Seed left in her hand. The rest were either sealed or banished to unknown times. That's why Yuuto and the other Time Train dared to rush out and chase after that woman.
But the final result was still unsatisfactory. The woman had accomplices—a girl who didn't look very old and a woman with animal ears. They were really good fighters, especially the little girl, who constantly switched between a staff and a scythe, and both weapons were quite powerful.
It's no exaggeration to say that the child's fighting style was truly ferocious. She single-handedly withstood the attacks of two Time Trains and forcefully counterattacked. Yuto and the other passenger on the Time Train went to great lengths to drag her down until she was exhausted and end the battle. Otherwise, even if they had defeated the child head-on, they certainly wouldn't have had the strength to continue the pursuit.
Is it Fitt?
Listening to Tianjin Si's story, Gensou once again thought of the blonde twin-tailed child. It seemed that the wounds on her body must have been left from the battle with the Time Train.
"Here, have some water, and tell me slowly."
"Hmm, thank you, sir."
Yuanxiang poured Tianjin Si a glass of water and told him to rest for a bit. Tianjin Si took a sip of tea, cleared his throat, and continued talking.
After the child was forced to withdraw from the battlefield, the two Time Trains set off again to hunt down Precia Testarossa. The woman was indeed troublesome. The two Time Trains and their passengers used all their killing moves, but they still failed to defeat her. As the battle reached a stalemate, the woman also tried to break the seal on the Seed of the Holy Stone, and she had already made some progress.
Fortunately, while chasing this woman and traversing worlds, the two Time Trains received help from other Kamen Riders, which allowed the situation to barely remain at a stalemate.
Having reached that point, everyone shifted their focus to the woman's last remaining Sacred Stone Seed. Even if they couldn't snatch it, they had to knock it down, determined not to give her any further opportunity to increase her fighting power.
But after discovering that the Kamen Riders' target had changed to the Stone Seed, the woman suddenly became quite frenzied, and her attacks became much more ferocious. The Kamen Riders fought desperately with all their might and strength, but the results were negligible.
Meanwhile, the Time Trains could not withstand such a terrifying intensity of battle and were about to cease operation. In desperation, the two Time Trains and their passengers launched a final attack with all their might before falling into different worlds.
However, it seems that the woman secretly sabotaged Yuto's side. When the 'Zero Train' Time Train stopped for maintenance, that ominous aura suddenly expanded, pulling everyone into the barrier and beginning an endless battle between them.
"So, I am truly grateful for your assistance..."
"Alright, alright, Tianjin Si, you don't need to be so polite."
Seeing that Tianjin Si was about to stand up and bow, Gensou quickly waved his hand, telling him to sit down. Then, looking at the four Kamen Riders still fast asleep beside him, he said softly:
"So what's next? What are your plans?"
"Hmm... Anyway, let's adjust the Zero Train first, and then go back to the terminal station to check the situation. After all, even if we know where that woman is, it's unrealistic for just a few of us to defeat her. Ugh... Damn that Holy Stone Seed! If we didn't have that thing, that wicked woman would have been taken down long ago!"
"Indeed, it is a truly terrifying existence. If I had encountered a complete and undamaged Holy Stone Seed, I would probably have lost my life long ago."
Yuanxiang sighed, nodded in agreement and helplessness, then stood up and looked at Tianjin Si, saying:
"Is there anything I can help you with? More people means more help, and it's always good to finish this sooner."
"Oh! Then I won't stand on ceremony, please..."
“Yuanxiang”.
Yuanxiang smiled slightly at Tianjin Siwei:
"Sorry, I kept forgetting to introduce myself."
"It's alright, it's alright. I was just forgetting to ask. Gensou, hmm, what a nice name. Gensou, please follow me."
To be honest, Gensho knew absolutely nothing about repairing trains. He was like a puppet, obediently doing whatever Tianjin Si told him to do. When Tianjin Si clapped his hands and said "It's done" at the end, Gensho was still confused and had no sense of accomplishment.
Hmm... this is probably what they mean by "a trade is like a mountain to climb."
As Yuanxiang followed Tianjin Si into the car, he nodded to himself. Just as he stepped into the carriage, he heard Tianjin Si exclaim in surprise:
"Yuto! Are you awake?!"
"Ugh, stop making so much noise! Tianjin 4!!"
The owner of the Zero Train, Yuto Sakurai, struggled to sit up, clutching his still-throbbing head. He yelled at Tianjin Si in an annoyed tone, and the three Kamen Riders next to him trembled as they slowly woke up from their slumber, then simultaneously covered their heads.
"This is really going to kill me, ouch, my bones!"
"Hmm...that really is..."
"It hurts so much, it hurts so much..."
"Ladies and gentlemen, is there anything else that is bothering you? Please tell me, and I will do my best to help alleviate your pain."
Seeing Tianjin Si circling around the four people, Gengo said nothing, quietly following behind. He rubbed his leg, and at that moment, the user of Kamen Rider Hibiki noticed Gengo, gave the boy a frank smile, and cheerfully said:
"Thank you so much, bro. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid I would have died from exhaustion in there. Oh, by the way, I'm Hibiki Hidaka Hitoshi."
"Kamen Rider Kiva (Moon Rider)".
The young man beside Hidaka Hitoshi smiled gently and continued speaking:
"My name is Hongdu, thank you so much for just now."
"Ah, Kenzaki Kazuma, I am Kamen Rider Blade."
