Episode 1: Nyapu! Nyapu! Kingdom 2068 - Suite Precure and Kamen Rider Zi-O are born-nya!
Hello Readers, Nexus here to bring you the first ever Kamen Rider Zi-O and Suite Precure crossover. This was a hard decision of what crossover I want to do with Zi-O, but after a long and deep thought of this Zi-O and Suite could be a good one. Well I thought of Million Arthur but it could be confusing to do, the timeline, Time Jackers, Another Riders, and the plot of Million Arthur could be difficult to write. Enough of that I'll put the Million Arthur on hold until further notice, for now lets get on the story contents and what not.
This story will be focus on my OC, Tokigawa Zento, he similar to Sougo but slight difference. He can be slightly goofy and serious depends on the situation. Somewhat unpredictable and likes to joke around at times. He's friends with Hibiki and throughout the story develop romantic feelings to each other. He has a crush on Hibiki at the start of the story but does not show it until later.
The year to this will be the main Kamen Rider timeline at 2018. Since the previous and current Precure are the same age from the movies and specials show that they haven't age so I just put it like that since one of the content is time traveling.
I don't own Kamen Rider or Precure, just my OC and story.
Here's a little something to makes thing easier for you guys.

Kamen Rider Zi-O X Suite Precure: Melodious Quartzer
(Japan: Distant Future - Year 2068)
It's the year 2068, a year where its supposed to be a bright future. Instead it's a deserted wasteland, cities fell, vehicles were wreck, the grass and flora were dried up leave nothing but dry dirt, and the sky was orange due to great amount pollution in the air. Everything was in ruins nothing but destruction and chaos and its was cause by one man.
A man clad in a clock theme demonic looking armor, mostly black with gold trimmings. Gold slot-like bands on his forearms. Wing like shoulder pads and has a gold watch band over his left shoulder to his right waist like a bandier. Black watches held to his right shoulder and chest. On his back were a set of clock hands acting like a cape. His helmet was like a clock, black with gold rimons with diamonds emended to them, clock hands like antennas with three golden watches on his forehead and a a symbol spelled 'Kamen' in katakana. His visor is red sharp looking that spelled 'Rider' to it and around his waist is a gold watch theme belt with 2018 in red.
This is the most vilest overlord of all, Oma Zi-O.
In a far distance from the wasteland, a 14 year old girl awoke and gets up from the ground. She has dark blue eyes and waist-length light brown hair with small twin tails on top of her head with pink ribbons. Wearing a white long sleeve shirt beneath a black top with raspberry heart motif, ruffles lining on each shoulder, a raspberry mini-skirt and black leggings, and white shoe with pink accent.
This girl is Hojo Hibiki, a athletic girl who loves to eat sweets.
"W-What's going on? Where am I? Is this a dream? "
As she looked around seeing the travesty she spotted Oma Zi-O walking across the wasteland.
"Who's that?"
In the middle of the wasteland stands an statue of a boy doing a transformation pose with an clock that has a katakana word for 'Rider'. Standing around him is the years prior Kamen Riders: Kuuga, Agito, Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-o, Kiva, Decade, Double, OOO, Fourze, Wizard, Gaim, Drive, Ghost, Ex-Aid, and Build. On the base of the statue there a plate that says,"Commemorating the first transformation of Tokigawa Zento". As Oma Zi-O walk he stop few feet from the statues and stands in front, as if he was prepared for something. The reason is that a large army of people charged at him on foot or in a vehicle. This is the resistance who opposed of Oma Zi-O and his tyrannical rule. As they charged in screaming and start shooting at him.
"Charge!"
Oma Zi-O looked at them and shook his head.
"Hmph!"
As they starts shooting at Oma Zi-O, which does nothing to him, he lift his hand calmly and flicks his wrist sending a shock wave that causes an explosion and flew them back by it as flames surrounded them. Then he heard screeching sounds and look above him. Missiles were launch towards him, he glances at them and lift his hand again to froze them in time. Then giant robots came charging at Oma Zi-O as he lifts them and throws them one by one effortlessly. He had enough of this, he lifts his hand and froze time around the area.
"You fools could never defeat me." He said. He scan around the area and sees the rebels cowarding in fear.
"And you know why?"
He grips his hands tight as he send a shock wave and disintegrated most of the rebels in a matter of seconds. The surviving members scream as they witnessing their comrades dissapear. As they're being killed, the leader manage to pushed a teenage girl to a pit to keep her safe.
"Tsukuyomi!"
After he did that he was disintegrated along the most of the rebel army. Many were terrified and in despair as they look at Oma Zi-O in fear. Victory was at his grasp yet again as he won another pointless battle. Hibiki was shocked that one man killed so many people and felt sad as she stand there and does nothing.
"W-What is this?"
She then see Oma Zi-O said something else but couldn't hear what he said but suddenly she was getting sleepy, so she close her eyes and light shine before her.
(Present Time - Kanon Town, Hojo Household: Hibiki's bed room - September 1st, Year 2018)
Hibiki shot up from her bed as she woke up from her dream lightly panting. She look and see she was in her bed room in her pink and Raspberry short sleeve jacket and shorts with a whit shirt underneath. She look down taken back from the dream she just had.
"Mou, why did I dream that?" Hibiki mutters. "I wonder what it all about?"
Just then her alarm rang out startling her for a moment before grabbing it and turn it off. She look at the time and sees that it's 7:00 am, she got out of bed and start to get ready for school. But as she was getting ready...
BOOOOOOOOM!
A very loud music was heard outside of her room that Hibiki cover her ears from the high volume.
"So loud!" Hibiki yelled.
She ran to her living room and see the speakers was on in high volume and see a red hair man in a light grey pajamas with headphones on, even though it isn't plugged in to the speaker, humming in rhythm holding a pointing stick moving back and forth like a music conductor.
This man is Hibiki's father, Hojo Dan. A music teacher at Private Aria Academy where Hibiki goes to.
As her father was enjoying his music he didn't notice Hibiki was stomping through the living room and turns the music off. Thus opening his eyes and sees his daughter in front of him.
"Papa! I told you not to listen to such loud music in the morning!" She tells her father.
"I was wearing headphones..." He tries to tell her.
"You weren't! The cord isn't even plugged in!" She points out to him. She even showed him the cord for his head phones was not plugged.
"Oh? Sorry about that." He apologizes.
"Jeez." Hibiki mutters as puts her head down.
Now that's little incident was done they can start their day of their daily lives at Kanon town. Little did they know their lives will start to change sooner then they think.

Episode 1: Kingdom 2068 - Nyapu! Nyapu! Suite Precure and Kamen Rider Zi-O are born-nya!
(Kanon Town, 9 to 5 clock shop)
Here we have the shop called the 9 to 5 clock shop, a clock shop that sells and repair clocks at Kanon town. It's a medium size house with 3 levels but it was big enough for a family. The first floor is where the clock shop takes place. The second floor is where the family sleeps with 4 different rooms and the basement floor that is for rent. Inside the shop was full of clocks, on the walls, shelves and displays were full of clocks. Coming down from the stairs is a 14 year old boy with a medium length black spiky hair and grey eyes wearing the Private Aria Academy uniform. Which is consist of long-sleeved cyan blazer with pink buttons and lining over a red hoodie with cyan pants.
This is our main protagonist of the story, Tokigawa Zento. And his dream is about him going to be king someday.
As he coming down he saw man around the 40's in a white dress shirt, jeans, khaki shoes and suspenders over the shirt and black framed glasses on the phone most likely a client wanting to repair a clock.
This is the shop owner and his uncle, Tokigawa Genjiro.
"Is that bad?...Oh...Well just bring it here and i can repair it by the end of the week...yes...well I'll see you then, bye."
Genjiro hung up and see Zento up and in his uniform ready for school.
"Morning, Zento." Genjiro greet him.
"Morning, Oji-san. A client called for something?" Zento ask.
"Yeah, they want me to repair a old radio even though it's a clock shop." He signed.
"Nothing's ever easy for you huh?" Zento chuckled. Then they heard shouting from outside of the shop.
"ZENTO! TIME TO GO TO SCHOOL!"
Zento and his uncle look from the window and see Hibiki in a same uniform as Zento, the difference is was wearing a white blouse underneath her blazer and a short, two-tiered skirt. Around her collar, she wore a pink bow wrapped around with the ends hanging out. She is currently waving at Zento to get his attention
"Looks like Hibiki's here." Zento said.
"So that's Hibiki you told me about, you met her when we move here right?" Genjiro ask him.
"Yeah, man it's been a year since we met and been friends ever since." Zento reminisce.
"Well we can't leave your girl waiting Zento, off you go." His uncle tells him.
"And next time I invite her over to dinner." Zento joked knowing his uncle was teasing him. "And be prepared 'cause she is one mean eating machine."
"Hahaha...Just go to school kiddo."
Zento grabs his bag and went out of the shop and meet with Hibiki as they walk together to school.
"So Zento, how's your morning?" Hibiki asked.
"Pretty normal." Zento answers. "Unlike yours when your dad put his music speaker so loud I think it woke the whole neighborhood."
"EEEEHHHHHHH!" Hibiki exclaims in a comedic way.
"Joking! Got you good did I." Zento said as he gives a silly grin.
"Mou! Zento baka!" Hibiki pouted.
"I prefer a comedic jokster thank you very much." He said. But when he saw Hibiki pouting he was at a cuteness overload, his heart start beating rapidly but manage to keep himself compose a second later.
'Man, the way she pouted was so cute I lost myself for a second.'
"Oh, I'm sure you're comedy gold especially between you and Kanade." He said making another joke. "You two will be jackpot for it."
...
...
'Huh? What's with this silence?' Zento thought.
He turn to look at Hibiki who was standing there with her bangs covering her eyes. Zento got a bad feeling when he saw her.
'Oh crab nuggets.'
"Zento. Please be quiet." Hibiki told him. She stared at Zento with a cold look on her face that it nearly made him run for the hills.
"Hai." Zento did as he told.
He was standing there having a internal freak out and sweat a little bit before Hibiki let out a big grin and started laughing at his reaction.
"Hahahahahahaha! Man you should see the look at your face! Hahahahahah!" Hibiki laughed.
"Oh! That was a prank. Phew I thought I might hit a nerve for your situation with Kanade." He said.
"Well that is sensitive for me. I wanted to make thing right between me and her but..." She explains as she looks down but Zento interrupt her.
"Don't worry about it. Even you guys on bad terms you girls will make up soon enough. These things takes time.' Zento consults her.
"Maybe your right. Thanks for that." Hibiki thank him.
"No problem, what are friends for." He said.
They continue to walk to school, Zento was thinking about Hibiki's relations to Kanade. What she told him they've been best friends for years, even though they have different personality they had a bond. The question is 'why and how did it happen?' he had in his mind, it boggles him ever since he met Hibiki on his first day of school one year ago.
(Flashback - Private Aria Academy - one year ago)
Private Aria Academy, a Junior High school consist of one building with a watch tower in the middle of it. Around the school's wall was a bunch of sakura trees blooming meaning it's the beginning of spring and for school to start. In front of the walkway to the school was Zento admiring the scenery as he was just move to Kanon town and this is his first day at his new school.
'Man this is nerve-whacking! Being new to this town going to a new school make a person nervous.' He thought. 'But I get the feeling I can do this.'
As he was about to walk to the school he notice someone standing by the sakura tree. It was Hibiki standing there, from his perspective she look lonely standing there alone so he approach her to see what's up.
"Sumimasen!" He calls out to her getting her attention. "Are you okay? You seem lonely just standing there."
"Oh! I'm just waiting for someone." She answers him. "But I don't see her anywhere."
"Bummer, so who are you waiting for anyway?" He ask.
"My best friend, we've been friends since little." She told him with a sad look on her face.
"Hmm..." Zento thought hard to cheer her up. But then it hit him, he could do one thing to lighten her mood.
And that's break dancing!
"Hey girl! Yo! Yo! Yo!"
Zento break dancing and do somersaults in the air with his hands landing on the ground.
"Check out this dude dancing on the floor yo!"
Then spins on the floor and does a pose and resume with his dance.
"I got a pure heart and love ya from the start! I drink to ya shorty so why not take a part break it dow-AH!"
THUD!
But when he tries to land with hand again he slipped and drops onto the ground. Zento was laying there groaning from the fall he had as Hibiki was staring at him with a blank stare.
'Good job Zento! If you quit when you had a chance she'll think you just a normal guy, but now she'll know you as a idiot!'
He look at Hibiki who still had a blank look on her face.
...
...
...
"Pfft."
Hibiki's face began to contort.
"Pffhehehehehehe-"
Then her face blown in laughter.
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Zento laugh a little before he stands up from his fall.
"You're pretty funny." Hibiki said and thanks him. "Thanks, I needed that."
"No problemo. Well since we're talking might as well introduce myself." He said reaching his hand toward her. "Name's Zento. Tokigawa Zento, I'm just move here."
"Hojo Hibiki." She introduce back.
Zento turn to the school gate and see a teacher was about to close it.
"Oh no! We need to go the teacher is about to close the gate! NIGERUNDAYO! HIBIKI-CHAN!"
"Ah! You're right!"
The two start running and finally manage to get pass through the gate with no problem. Both of them lean forward and rest their hands on their knees to catch their breath.
'Well here goes a part my exercise for now." Zento panted.
"At least we made it." Hibiki wheeze.
But then when she got up, She saw a girl with dark green eyes and long dirty blond hair, part of which ties in a high ponytail at the top with pink hair bobbles in a school uniform like other students.
This girl's name is Minamoto Kanade, a cake baker and Hibiki best friend or was.
"N-No way."
"Hmm."
Zento look up and sees Hibiki in shock as he look where she was looking at.
"So that's your friend?" He ask.
"Yes. That's my friend, Kanade. But why, didn't she promise me that we go together." She said now depress.
"Huh. Look I'm sure this what it seems to look like but I'm sure there's a reason for it. Just talk to her when you had a chance 'kay?" He said to her.
"Well, okay." Hibiki replied.
"OK. Well get to that later right now WE NEED TO GET TO CLASS! NIGERUNDAYO!" Zento exclaim and runs to his designated classroom.
"EH?! Wait up!" Hibiki followed him as they start their first day for the rest of their junior high lives.
(Flashback end)
(Time skip: After school)
And from then on Zento and Hibiki quickly became good friends, they even had the same class together and get along well. But unfortunately when Hibiki tries to talk to Kanade they start arguing to each other that make Zento think how did they became friends in the first place. Hibiki and Kanade went to their separate ways, Hibiki was helping out the sport teams and Kanade joins the Sweets club which Hibiki sneaks in and eat one of their cakes thus lead to another argument. Zento tries to help them out but they told them to stay out of it as it's their problem. Even so he hangs out with Hibiki as she was his first friend, learns about her dad is the music teacher at school and have a incredible appetite for sweets which explains why she snuck to Kanade's baking club. But the real reason is that she tries to talk to Kanade, but ends in a argument. Zento tries to be there for her when things get rough and tries to cheer her up which he goof up and be a fool of himself much to Hibiki's amusement.
'What could have happen to make them like this?' Zento thought.
Zento was currently walking home from school with Hibiki when she fails to talk with Kanade again resulting the same thing. In their hands is a career sheet they were given in class much to the classes confusion but they have time to think about it.
"Zento, are you think about your career?" Hibiki ask.
"Sort of, how about you? What's your future career?" He ask back.
"Hmmm..." Hibiki hums thinking about what career she would have but. "I don't know, I haven't thought about it yet. What about you?"
"Oh that's easy, I'm going to be king." Zento answers her.
"Huh?! Seriously?! You want to be king?!" Hibiki exclaimed.
"Of course, it's my dream." He answers again.
"Come on! Not even little kids says that any more! You should really think about you future Zento!" She said stupefied about what he said about being king.
"Looks who's talking, but for me being king is all I could think of." Zento said to her. "I'll follow my dreams and make it happen someday, I can do it."
Hibiki was standing there purely shock about Zento thinks about becoming king, but as his friend she to put some sense into him for once. Hibiki steps forward towards him as they're close that Zento could almost smell her much to his surprise.
'Why is Hibiki standing so close to me? Sniff! Ah~ I could smell a scent of strawberry coming from her. Wait now is not the time for that!'
While Zento was a panic attack in his head Hibiki grabs both of his arms thus snapping him back to reality.
"I'm going to wake you up." Hibiki said much to his confusion.
"Huh?"
She then does a judo throw on him.
"WHOA!"
THUD!
Resulting him be thrown to the ground landing on his back.
"Ite!" Zento mutters as he sit up. "What was that for Hibiki!"
"Just pounding some sense into you for once Zento baka." Hibiki replies as she help him up.
"But your technique was excellent though." Zento said. "You could be in my royal police force!"
Hibiki was taken back by his optimism and then slump.
"Jeez, alright then I'll just head on home see ya tomorrow Zento." Hibiki greets him goodbye as they head to different walkways.
"See ya tomorrow then Hibiki." He greets her back. 'Okay, that was weird.'
As Zento says his goodbye to them he went his way. but then he notices something odd on the street and walk towards it and pick it up. It was a futuristic watch he never seen before with the inner gear visible, no face and no owner. He looks around to see someone who might lost this but there's no one so he did the next best thing to do, turning it to the police. Zento starts to make a detour to the police station giving the item to the authorities. As he was doing that someone came to his view, a grey hooded man in a brown coat stood in his way with a book in his hands. Zento walk towards him.
"Um, excuse me sir," He said politely.
"Congratulations." The man said randomly.
"Hmm?" Zento raised an eyebrow.
"According to this book, tomorrow will be a very special day for you." The man said to him, look up from his book to Zento.
"Huh?" Zento said confused.
"However." The man closes his book and warns him, "Beware of the red robot."
"Wha?" Zento said questionably.
CHIME!
Zento heard a bell chime ringing out of nowhere and look around and see a set a wind chimes hanging in front of a house. When he look back to the stranger, only to find him gone. Zento was very confused right now, first a man suddenly appear to warns him about a red robot then disappear immediately. This day was so weird that he must be crazy.
"What's that about?" He questioned. "Oh well, off to the station then."
He resumed to the police station. Unknown to him he was being watched from afar, A tall red humanoid mecha stared at him in determination as it hid behind the houses. Luckily there's no one around to notice this, so it's the right time to strike at him. Back to Zento, he was almost to the police station turning the watch like item to the police. But suddenly he felt a chill in his spine as he look around to see what causing this.
[TIME MAZINE!]
Zento heard that and turned around, an huge red mecha with yellow and black details. The head was circular with a white face and a yellow visor that's in Hiragana. Zento was shocked and awe at the sight before falling on his rear. He backed up a bit almost unable to speak.
"A GIANT ROBOT?!" He exclaimed before looking at the robot again, reminding him what the hooded stranger warned him about.
"A red robot?"
Then the robot starts to attack him swinging its arms at Zento.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
"I've finally found you..." The mecha called out to Zento. "Oma Zi-O!"
"Huh?!" Zento said looking confused before the robot raised its fist. Zento panic as he rolled over to dodged the robot's fist punched to the ground. He managed to get back on his feet before running away. The red mecha changed to vehicle mode as it chase Zento.
"WHAT'S GOING ON?! BUT FOR NOW NIGERUNDAYO!" Zento yelled in panic.
He ran as fast as he could away from the robot but was struggling to the mecha's great speed. he looked back and it's catching up to him quickly. As Zento run he looked around looking for something ton hide, then he noticing the local shopping district with a roof. The entrance seemed too small for the mecha to get him, so he ran into the shopping district manage to escape before the mecha ran him over.
Zento looked back at the mecha, felling tired from the chase. He smiled as he was safe from the mecha.
"Yes! Try to get me now Mecha Robo!"
"Hmph, thought you got away?" The red mecha ask.
But he regretted as the mecha transformed back to robot mode and hovered above the roof. Zento had a bad feeling before the mecha punch through the roof above him. Zento manage to dodge it's attacks and tries to make a escape but wounded up tripping on the ground thus he mecha was getting close to Zento, its was all over for him as he was crawling back. But then-
[TIME MAZINE!]
A black and grey mecha rammed the other out of the way and landed in front of Zento. He open his eyes and shock seeing another one that saved his life. The black and grey mecha opened a compartment from the middle body revealing a young girl with long black hair same age as Zento in a white dress, cape, and black leggings with white shoes.
"Get in! Quickly!" She yelled.
It was his chance to escape, so he listened to her and get inside the mecha. Inside he saw technology he never seen before in his life. As he looked around Zento ask the girl.
"Who are you?"
"It can wait. Now hold on!" She exclaimed. "Activating the Space-Time transport system!"
She closes the the hatch and touch the holographic computer that says 2018 AD before spinning it. Zento holds on to something as the mecha hovered in the air. A gate way appeared out of nowhere and sped into it. He screamed how fast it was going right after they when in then closes afterwards. The red mecha gets up and was clueless on where are they going or more specifically when?
(The Prehistoric Period: 66,810,000 BC)
Zento escaped through a gateway between time and space with the girl that saved from from danger. Unfortunately the trip was very uncomfortable for him. He felt very sick and got a little headache from the shaking as they made to their destination. He felt relieve as they landed but feel little nauseous.
"Man...that took a lot out of me..." He said.
"Sorry about that." She said. "It's a side effect when you're time-traveling for the first time, you'll get used to it."
"Time-travel?!" Zento shouted and turns to the girl. "Who are you anyway and what going on?!"
"It can wait." She said as she searching something in the computer. Then she showed it to him. "But first, look at this."
What she show Zento is a video. It shows a ruin wastelands and in a middle of was a statues of armored men and people were fighting there. He was shock as if it was all real, then he saw many people killed, injured by a man in a clock theme suit clad in black and gold, with a red visor in katakana. He stared the horror at this man's actions before he wipes them out of existence.
"Oh my god..." Zento gasped. "Who was that? Causing all that devastation.."
"The one who cause all of the devastation is you in 50 years." She answers him. "The most vilest overlord of all time."
Zento couldn't believe of what she was saying. That man was him in the future? There's no way he could do something like that.. right?
"That overlord...is me?" He ask. The girl nodded in response to his question. This makes Zento feel light-headed.
"I think I need some fresh air.." Zento said as he gets out of the mecha. He walk around despite where he was trying to process what he has been told thus far.
"How can this be?" He mutters to himself. "How could I do such a thing?"
Then he felt something slimy on this shoulders thus freaking him out.
"Yuck! Wait drool?" As he said that he turn around what behind him.
He was looking at a real dinosaur: the Tyrannosaurus Rex!
"WHOA! NIGERUNDAYO!"
ROOOOOOAAAAAAARRRRRR!
The T-Rex roared as Zento ran away from it but the T-Rex followed him.
"Why are there dinosaurs here!" Zento shouted as he ran. But he tripped and fell to the ground and sees it was gaining up on him before the girl's mecha intervene and held it back.
"You didn't notice?" She told him. "We're in a hurry. So I jumped all the way to the prehistoric period."
"NANI!"
She push the dinosaur back and changed to vehicle mode before grabbing Zento. Then open another gateway to another time period.
(The Edo Period: 1671 AD)
They landed in a small village where people were working. As they walk past them, the civilians were perplexed by their 'strange' attire. Zento looked around the area and this place was indeed the Edo period, only it look new than he saw in the history books.
"Seriously?" He mutters to himself. "So it really is a time machine."
Then he looks at the girl and ask her, "Just who are you any way?"
"My name is Tsukuyomi, I've come from the year 2068." She said shocking Zento.
"The vilest overlord of time, Oma Zi-O, has persecuted our people and created a world with no hope." She explains as they walk toward a tea shop to rest. "We chose to stand against him. But..."
She stopped reminiscing what happened to her and the other Resistance then resumes. "I follow Geiz through time in order to keep you from attaining the power of Oma Zi-O."
"Wait just a sec." He said as they stop.
"I'm just checking. But are you sure you have the right guy?" He asked her, still finding it hard to believe he could cause all of the suffering. Him being vile and cruel? He just can't believe it.
Tsukuyomi bring her futuristic tablet looking through his profile, daily life and history via videos and images.
"Tokigawa Zento. Born in April 28, 2004, 14 years old."
She showed him an video of his life and everything he's done so far; every action, every choices he made, favorite hobbies, even his love interest.
"Currently resides in Kanon town at a clock shop with his uncle, Tokigawa Genjiro. Your parents, Saya and Souji Tokigawa passed away 9 years ago." She explains so far as she looked even further.
"Second year at Private Aria Academy. Having a huge crush on the star athlete, Hojo Hibiki. Performs well in Math, History and Art. But low average in physics."
Thus so far it was enough to believe her and was embarrassed by it. Especially when she showed a picture of Hibiki and when she showed him sleeping on his physic books. It sent a chill down to his spine, everything about him even his crush on Hibiki, he felt stalked by this "research" of hers. Then a waitress came by and served them tea and dango.
"Pretty thorough, isn't it?" Tsukuyomi ask Zento drinking his tea.
"To be honest, I'm feel more stalked then researched." He answers her. "Pretty sure it'll give me nightmares for a while."
As he said that, Tsukuyomi paid the waitress from her tablet showing her the gold coins on her screen and slides them down with her finger, making them real as they fell into the waitress's hands and leaves them alone. This just shocked Zento as he watch it happened with his own eyes. Tsukuyomi then resumes their conversation.
"Now about the watch you have..."
"Watch? Oh! You mean this?" He asked bringing the watch out of his pocket. "I found this on the street. You know what it is then?"
Tsukuyomi gets up in front of him grabbing the watch in his hands.
"This watch will grant you incredible power. With it you'll become Oma Zi-O, the king who will eventually destroys the world as we know it."
Zento was shocked by her statement. An average middle school kid like him becoming an overlord that destroys the world in the future. He thought about this very carefully making sure what he heard was true. Then he starts thinking about his dream of being king. Sure it's a child dream, but he believes that he'll make it happen. After everything so far, he had no choice but to admit he was going to be a king in the future. But being the demon king was not part of his dream.
"I believe you."
Zento gets up from the bench.
"I mean, I've always wanted to be king, it's my dream. If I can get this power to do that, then it's fine with me. But it's a bummer about the overlord part."
Tsukuyomi stared at the watch and seeing it wasn't doing anything in particular as she approaches it.
"The watch isn't responding..."
"Fight! There's a fight!"
They look up and see a crowd gathering in front of them. They approached the crowd to see whats going on. they watch behind the crowd as they saw a fight between five people.
"Don't mess with Edo Artisans you jerk!"
A man exclaimed aggressively as he pushed another man into a table. The injured man's friend help him up and continued their fight. Zento jump up and down to get a better look and confirmed their suspicions.
"Yep, it's a fight alright." Zento said.
As the fight continued Tsukuyomi decided to test something out. She then grabs Zento by his shoulders getting his attention.
"Sorry, but I need to try something out." She said, confusing him before turns him towards the fight and plugs her nose and yelled, "Alright you punks. Give it a rest!"
The five men stopped fighting and turn to see Zento getting pushed into the crowd, gathering everyone's attention.
"Eh!?" Zento said as he felt all eyes on him and saw the men glaring at him.
"Who the hell are you?!" One of the men asked, insulted by Zento's intervention.
"I'm not a big fan of fights." Zento explained but felt like it wasn't going very well. "Let's talk this out like civilize people."
Before he knew it, Zento was being carried by the five men toward the bridge with the citizens were spectating this. Zento panicked as fearing the worst. He continue trying to calm the men down, but all for naught.
"Wait, hang on for a sec here!" He said loudly as they began to swing him back and forth. "Let's calm down alright?! I mean you can't hurt a kid like me right?!"
SPLASH!
Then they swung him down to the river, leaving him wet.
"Serve you right brat!"
"Cool your heels!"
"Come on boys!"
After they were satisfied, they took each others shoulders and leave as they laughed. Zento began to swam back to the bridge. Tsukuyomi saw the whole thing and couldn't believe that he just took that from them and tries to negotiate with them.
"Maybe I do have the wrong guy..." She held her chin in thought, thinking she might have the wrong boy, "He seems like the polar opposite of Oma Zi-O."
Zento manage to climb back up and see Tsukuyomi walking towards him.
"Are you alright?" She ask.
He nods yes and saw the men walking happily to each other making amends.
"Huh? They stopped fighting! Well that's good!"
"Ha! They tossed him into the river and he's still concerned about them fighting!" A local woman mocked him, making the rest of the villagers laughed at Zento. But he really didn't care about that.
"It's a monster!"
Zento, Tsukuyomi, and the rest of the villagers turned to the man and saw a patch of smoke in front of them as they ran away in fear. Emerging from the smoke, they get the better look at what they were running from. Or whom to be precise.
It was a man in red armor with black details and a bit of yellow, two black arm bands that holds four watches, wearing a white watch-like belt around the waist with a red dial watch on the right side and the screen saying 2068 in yellow, red triangle shoulder armor with grey and yellow details along an round chest plate, black gloves with yellow fingers, black knees, grey anklets, and black digital watch design from head to below the waist and onto the back. His helmet was black with white face, his sharp-edge ribbon visor was yellow that spells 'Rider' in Hiragana, on the forehead has a digital clock symbol and a katakana symbol for 'Kamen' between them.
This is Kamen Rider Geiz.
"Run!"
The citizen ran off only to Zento and Tsukuyomi remain as Geiz walking towards them.
"Now what?!" Zento ask in panic.
"That's what Geiz look like after he transforms!" She explains quickly. "He wants to eliminate you before you can obtain the power of Zi-O."
Tsukuyomi grabs Zento's wrist and began to run away back to their ship.
"Let"s get out of here!"
"Eh?! Eh?!"
"Your not getting away!" Geiz exclaims as he clenches his fist and return to his ship.
[TIME MAZINE!]
Zento and Tsukuyomi went back to the ship and enter the time stream trying to escape from Geiz. But Geiz manage to catch up to them as he rammed his ship into theirs and pressed them against the walls of time. Inside their ship, Zento tripped as they were hit and fell onto the floor. The screens turned red and now says DANGER.
"Well that's not good."
They're struggling to break out from Geiz attacks but he rammed to them again but this time is different. He unlocked the Time Mazine's arms and pushed them out of the time stream.
(Touto: November 30TH, 2017)
Zento and Tsukuyomi were spinning out of control. They're so out of control that they ran into a giant wall, literally. An wall that reached high as a skyscraper emitting red energy. Their Time Mazine was about to crash, heading down fast bracing for impact. Then the hatch opened as they crashed Souma fell out and landed onto the ground and rolled on four to recover from the crash.
"Itetetetete."
He felt the pain from his shoulder for a moment but eventually went away as it was replace with a cold temperature. Zento lift his head as he look around where he landed. It look like he's back to the modern timeline, but it was snowing and cloudy weather when he was and in a construction site no less. Zento gets up trying to figure out when he was in but heard something behind him.
ROOOOOOOAAAR!
"Great, now what?!"
He turned around and see a mechanical gorilla-like monster running towards him, as if it's going for an attack. Zento was shock but soon fade away and runs away from the monster heading to the abandoned factory. The monster was catching up to him no matter how fast he run, he feared that there's no way to escape and no one to save him. But then it stopped as look to the right as it was staring at something.
"NIGERUNDAYO!"
"Get down!"
Zento turned to who said it and saw two figures in armor in air ready to do something.
Their suits had spiraled armor from head to toe. The first one had red and blue armor with a rabbit and tank motif. The second one had navy blue and orange armor with a dragon motif. They both wear the same belt on their waist, resembling clanks and gears, first on had red and blue bottles while the second had a big dragon with a bottle inserted.
They are Kamen Rider Build and Cross-Z.
A big white chart and a Chinese dragon appeared as they doing a flying kick.
[VOLTECH FINISH!]
[DRAGONIC FINISH!]
They stuck the monster with their kick as it exploded afterwards in green flames leaving a shock wave that pushed Zento back rolling on the ground. Zento was awed at the two armored men, amazed that they destroyed the monster with just their kicks. The two men crouch as they landed and gets up and sees Zento on the ground.
"You alright?!" Build called out to him in worry before he and his partner ran towards to see if he's okay.
"Yo, you alive man?!" Cross-Z called out as well following Build and extending his hand to Zento.
Zento grabs his hand as he was pulled up. He looked at the two heroes in awe.
"That was awesome!" Zento shouts excitedly as he looks at them back to back. "So are you guys from the future too?"
"This is Kamen Rider Build" Cross-Z point his partner with his right thumb.
Build removed two bottles from his belt and changed into a man in his 20's wearing a t-shirt, jeans, right blue shoe and left red shoe, and a brown jacket.
"Kiryu Sento." He introduced himself before introducing his partner. "And this is my assistant."
"Like hell I am! Kamen Rider Cross-Z" Cross-Z retorted.
He removing the dragon-like adapter from his belt and changed to a man with brown hair with three braids on his hair wearing a red t-shirt, black jeans, blue jacket, and another jacket wrapping around his waist.
"The name's Banjou Ryuuga."
"Kamen Riders?" Zento said in confusion as he ask the two. "So what era are we in?"
"Era?" Banjou raised an eyebrow in further confusion before answering Zento. "It's November 30th, 2017."
"2017?!" Zento exclaimed in shock.
(Time Skip: Nascita)
They decided to take Zento back to their base of operations, the Nascita cafe. Sento asked him why he ask "What era are we in?". Zento talks about what happen to him so far, coming from the future, time traveling to the past and people were after him. They were skeptical about it, so Zento show them proof by getting out the watch he found on the street. Sento grabs it from him and take a look at the device, he couldn't recognize the technology so he went to his lab to do further investigation. As Zento was waiting for Sento to be finished, Banjou was taking a sip from a milk carton and sets it down as he sits down. Zento looks at the carton before taking a closer look and shoves Banjou a little to look at the expiration date that said 12.10.2017.
"It really is 2017!" Zento said in shock.
Then the fridge opened up as Sento coming out from it revealing a secret passage to his laboratory.
"Whoa, what's up with that fridge?"
"Well, I've examined it." Sento said as he closed the fridge and explains further. "This device of his doesn't seem to use any current generation technology. He really is from the future."
He gives the watch back to Zento as he explains more to his story.
"Not so fast. I'm only from one year from the future, that hardly counts."
"I don't get why you're being humble about that." Banjou said as he rolled his eyes.
"There's someone from way further into the future!" Zento continued as he didn't notice Tsukuyomi came by with her Faiz phone X as shoots Banjou and Sento unconscious.
"And apparently I become a king in fifty years. I turn into some guy-O, or something like that."
THUD!
When he heard that he turned around and sees Tsukuyomi pointing her gun at him.
"Eh?"
She shoots him knocking him out unconscious and falls onto the floor.
"Sorry about that. It's not good to interact with the past more than necessary." Tsukuyomi said as she takes Zento back to 2018.
(Kanon Town: Basketball court - year 2017)
In Kanon Town in the year 2017, a young man was practicing basketball at the park. He tries to get the basket ball into the hoop but it hit the backboard making it bounce to the road. The young man chase after the ball not noticing until the last minute a car was speeding towards him. Before the car could hit him, it suddenly stops look like it was frozen in time. Then before the young man was a teenage boy in blue clothing walking to him as he was responsible stopping the car.
This is the Time Jacker Heure.
"I'm choosing you." Heure said to the young man.
"What?" The young man mutters before freaking out. "What just happened?!"
"Originally, history states that you were hit by that car just now." Heure explains to him as he picks up the ball. "But if you contract with me..."
"You'll save me?" The young man ask Heure.
"Precisely." Heure answers him as he shows him a blank watch. "What's your decision?"
The young man think for a moment, having no other choice what situation he was in he decided.
"Alright." The young man answers him as he grabs the watch. "I'll make the contract."
Then the watch glowed as it changed to violet with a face showing Kamen Rider Build, but more monster like.
This watch is called Another Rider Build Ridewatch.
"You're one smart boy." Heure said as he swipes his hand pushing the car back and crashed to another car.
"Starting now, you're Kamen Rider Build!"
Heure activates the Ridewatch and inserts it into the young man's chest.
[bUiLd!]
The young man started to go changes as purple aura surround him. He was turn into a monster resembling Kamen Rider Build, but looks monstrous. The armor is faded and mutated, the blue is rusted and the red look like old leather. Spike jutted out from the boots and shoulders, the helmet has a monstrous face with a fang mouth and a glass-like optical visor resembling a rabbit ear and a tank barrel hiding two hideous eyes, and a skeleton spine on it's back.

"Tennis. Karate. Best match janai."
It walks away looking for a best match.
(Next day - Kanon Town, 9 to 5 Shop - September 2, 2018)
"Ugh."
Zento groaned as he gets up and sees that he's in his room with an headache when he was awake. He thought what happened yesterday was a dream, it felt like it was so real to him leaving him confused. But he shrug it off as he thinks that is not important right now and get off his bed as get ready for today. After brushing his teeth and put on his uniform, he went downstairs and see his uncle getting breakfast ready.
"Morning, Oji-san." Zento greets him.
"Morning, Zento." Genjiro respond back. "I made breakfast, so let's eat."
"'Kay." Zento said as he sits down and eat his breakfast.
But just before he could dig in, he thought of his dream and everything occur in it he couldn't shake it off and start feeling down for a moment. His uncle notice this and was concerned and spoke up in worry.
"Something wrong Zento?" Genjiro ask in worry getting Zento's attention.
"Oh. It's nothing, I just had a strange dream last night." Zento answer him.
"Care to tell me then?" Genjiro asks.
Zento then explains his uncle about his "dream" of his, From picking up the watch from the street to the robots chasing after him. Then time traveling to the past and people from the future are coming to change history. And meeting these heroes called the Kamen Riders.
"So then fifty years from now, I'm this all-powerful king." Zento said to him finishing his explanation.
"Eh. Well, that certainly sounds like an intense dream you had." Genjiro comments him. "But you wanted to be a king, right Zento?"
"Yeah."
"So, that's a good thing then."
"But apparently I'm the most vile overlord of all time. So I was torn..."
As Zento was feeling depressed about him being a evil overlord, since it was his dream this was cause a lot of problem for him. Genjiro pondered about this, but then understand how he feels and start to console him a little.
"Well, no need to rush to answer." He said to Zento as he gets up and puts the dishes away, Zento follows him afterwards.
"Y'know, when I was younger I had a chance to chase after my dreams too." Genjiro explains his story to Zento which peaks his interest as they went to the counter. "But doing so meant taking a big risk. So I remember being torn too."
"What did you do?" Zento ask.
"I let it pass me by." He answers Zento before explaining more. He picks up the desk clock as he was going to use it for an example.
"I figure I'd get another chance. Turns out, life doesn't give you many chances. We can stop the hands of a clock, we can turn them back. But that's just not how life works. Understand Zento?" He said finishing his explanation.
"Hmmmmmm." Zento hummed as he process what he was told, then gives his uncle a nod. "Understood."
"Good, now you better get going Hibiki is about to be here right-" His uncle tells him before.
"ZENTO!"
"-now. Now get to school sport." He finishes.
"Right. See ya later Oji-san." Zento greets him goodbye before grabbing his bag.

[Kamen Rider Zi-O]
(Private Aria Academy: After School)
Zento was sitting on a bench near the soccer field watching Hibiki with the girl's soccer team playing against another team after a long day in class. Hibiki was kicking the ball and passes it to a short blue haired girl name Waon Nishijima and then pass it back to Hibiki.
"I've gotta do this, or I'll be letting us girls down." Hibiki yelled as she shoots for the goal. Many of her teammates cheered as they congratulate Hibiki for their victory.
"That Hibiki, always helping out the sport teams." He mutters and see Hibiki walking towards him as he brings out a water bottle for Hibiki.
"Gulp! Gulp! Phew! Thanks Zento!" Hibiki thank him as she was finish drinking giving him a smile.
"No problem, happy to be in service miss." Zento said as he bow to her.
"Z-Zento! Don't do that people might get the wrong idea!" She said as she was slightly blushing.
"Oh, but it's fun and look at you blushing what're thinking about for a moment." He teased.
"T-That's none of your business baka!" She shouted at him.
"I'm hurt at your word, it makes me sad." He joked until he switches the topic on her. "So what are you going to do now that the game is finish?"
"Hmm."
Hibiki thinks until she sees Kanade at the Home EC room baking something and that means there's sweets involve and she was having cakes in her mind as Zento sees her daydreaming and drools and sweat dropped. Even after a year being her friend he didn't get use to her appetite and her love for sweets makes it worst. But he thought it as a opportunity to get her and Kanade back to being friends again.
"Hibiki, are you thinking what I'm thinking?" He ask her.
"Cakes?" Hibiki guess.
"Not I'm was looking for but close enough." He accepts her guess. "Let's go!"
"Yeah!" Hibiki joins him to sneak to the Sweets club.
Back to the girl's soccer team, they witness everything between Hibiki and Zento getting along well to getting in their shenanigans as they thought of one thing.
'They'll make a great couple.'
Not far from the field was the grey hooded man in the brown coat from yesterday was hiding in the trees observing Zento from afar as he was waiting for the right opportunity.
"My Overlord, today's the day for your path of kingship is about to be born."
(Home EC Room: the Sweets Club)
The Sweets club, a clubs of making sweets like cakes or cookies which Kanade a member as they club members made their own sweets and shares them to each other to evaluate their skills. They are currently sitting at a clothed table with their bake good presented and ready to be eaten, unknowingly for them Zento and Hibiki were tiptoeing inside hiding from them.
"I hate to admit it, but your sweets are just out of this world, Kanade!"
"Kanade's the only one here who can compare to our president, Kuronami!"
One of the club members praise how Kanade's sweets while she was being modest about it much to her embarrassment.
"You girls are complimenting me too much. Your sweets are all lovely too! I think I'll have seconds!" She compliment back as she was about to pick up another piece her friends made.
But stopped when she notice that two hands coming from beside the table. Snatching two pieces of cake and others notices it two as Kanade Knew that there's only one person who could do something like this. Quietly, she stood up and walk towards the end of the table and sees Hibiki and Zento about to take a bite of the cakes they snatched but Kanade interferes.
"Hibiki! Zento!" She shouts at them.
Both were startled causing the cake in their hands landed on their nose and got cream on them. They look over at Kanade, who looked more furious than ever.
"How many times do I have to tell you!? You're not getting away this time!" She scolded Hibiki then turns to Zento. "And Zento! I was expected Hibiki, but you too?!"
They give both Kanade a huge cheeky grin on their faces before wolfing down the cakes down in one bite. Then Hibiki on a daily basis testing Kanade's limits and Zento his reason on being here.
"Too late!"
"And I want to join the fun!"
"Hibiki..." Kanade said through her gritted teeth.
Her friends watch this happen as does Zento when he step back, knowing full well what Kanade was like when she was angry. Kanade didn't notice but she went on her daily business. And that is telling Hibiki off.
"Jeez, they're at it again." one of the club members said.
"You can say that again." Zento joins in.
"Stop coming in here and helping yourself all the time!"
"Who cares? You girls always have food left over! Stingy!"
"Stingy?!" Kanade exclaimed, shocked at being given that type of nickname as Hibiki insist on yet again, pushing Kanade on the edge.
"Nah, stubborn, perhaps?"
"Stubborn?!" Kanade thought out loud and Zento watching snickered as he was trying to hold it of but failing. And tells Hibiki what she really thought.
"If you just asked, I'd be more than happy to give you some!"
'Oh? Is she trying to be nice to her?' Zento thought.
"Give me?! There you go again, looking down on people! That's why I don't ask in the first place!"
"Oh, I see! I guess you don't want anymore cakes then Besides, I don't have to have any to give to someone like you! Perhaps I should give it to someone like Zento then!" Kanade said, and this time, Hibiki was shocked.
"Someone like me!?"
'Maybe not. WAIT WHAT?!'
"And what do you mean someone like Zento?!" Hibiki asked in shock at the last one.
"Zento is nice, funny, and can be a gentleman to ask nicely, even though he has a silly dream of being king." Kanade explained as Zento was touched but hurt at the last thing she said.
'Ugh! You hurt me too much Kanade-chan!'
"But you, on the other hand, are rude and uncouth!" Kanade said to her.
"Uncouth?!"
'Uh oh.'
Then before they about to blow it out, the Sweets club president, Seika, decided to step in and stop the argument before it gets worse.
"Come on, you two. Friends shouldn't argue like that. Good friendship are preserve that way right?" She said slowly, like she was explaining something to two little kids.
"I second that!" Zento steps in.
"We're not friends!" Hibiki and Kanade said at the same time.
"Ah, they harmonized!" One of the club members said.
"Great minds think alike!" Zento adds.
Hibiki and Kanade look at each other for a moment before turning away from each other.
"Hmph!"
Hibiki made her way to the door as she grabs Zento's hand unknowingly. The other club members saw it and was adored by the action Hibiki made before Kanade reminds her about the cream on their noses.
"Shouldn't you both wipe the cream?" She said without looking at them.
Hibiki look at the cream from her and Zento's noses as lick hers and licks Zento's much to his embarrassment before pulling a face at Kanade as she leaves with Zento. Shocked by this, Kanade does the same thing towards Hibiki even though she knew Hibiki didn't see it. The rest of her friends thought of one thing when they saw Hibiki and Zento leaving together.
'They'll make a great couple.'
"Hey, is it true that you two used to play together all the time as kids?" On e girl asked getting Kanade's attention. Another girl was skeptical though.
"Eh?"
"Seriously? No way! You two really get along well!"
Kanade shakes her head and tried to set things straight.
"No, we don't! All we ever used to do was fight..." Kanade trailed off, not wanting to talk about her 'friendship' with Hibiki anymore, as the girl thought about what she and her friends had been just told.
"I guess, I've never seen you two get along well, now that I think about it..."
Kanade thoughts drifted away from the conversation as she thought about the fight that she had with Hibiki earlier and sigh quietly.
'I probably went overboard again.' She thought quietly. Until she heard something she didn't expect them to say.
"...Hibiki and Zento get along so well. I'm starting to think they're more than friends."
'Eh?'
"Yeah! They totally make a great couple!"
Kanade was listening to their talk and felt a little sad thinking about Hibiki being with Zento. She had a thought that Zento is gonna thank Hibiki away from her. But shook it off as it was nothing but a passing thought.
(Private Aria Academy: School gate)
Meanwhile, Zento and Hibiki were walking home from the Sweets club. Hibiki was thinking about the fight earlier and Zento was concern about Hibiki being glum from earlier. That and being embarrassed with Hibiki licked his nose for the cream.
"Jeez, why do we always have to end up fighting..." Hibiki mutters.
"Well, sometimes friends fight and make up the next. I told you this takes time." Zento consoles her.
"But I'm such a baka! Baka! Baka! Baka! Baka!" She scolded herself as she smacking her head a couple a times. But stopped and look at the sky.
"We used to have so much fun." She mutters sadly.
"Hmm."
Zento worried about her but for now he'll be there for support.
(Concert hall)
Hibiki and Zento went to the Concert Hall for a detour, Hibiki was reminiscing about the old day with Kanade and Zento was being with her as her friend being by her side.
"So, this is the place you and Kanade went and play?" He ask.
"Yeah, we used to sing here together." She answers. Hibiki went towards the piano and play a little bit before she stops. "I guess things can't go back to how it was before."
"Well my uncle told me this, "We can stop a clock's hand and turn them back, but that's not how life works", you get one chance in life but so don't worry about it. If you find a chance to make up with her, then no matter what you girls can pass your differences and keep moving forward." Zento said his advice to her.
"I guess your right Zento." Hibiki agree having a smile on her face. "We were best friends too, so I think I can do this."
"That's my line." He laughs as she join in the laugh to until...
"You don't really need friends."
A third voice spoke, surprising both of them to jump before they look left and see a girl around the same age as them. She has a mid-length dark purple, accessorized with a twisted golden band tied around one strand, sharp yellow eyes and a angular face. She wears a basic white shirt with a sleeveless black jacket, yellow choker, dark gray bracelets on each wrist, a short black skirt, long stockings, and small boots.
"Who are you?" Hibiki ask.
"The name's Ellen." the Girl name Ellen introduces herself.
"Ellen..?" Hibiki repeated.
"What do you want? And what do you mean 'don't really need friends?'" Zento questions, he has a bad feeling about this Ellen girl.
"The fact is, you're thinking that need friends, right?" Ellen said to Hibiki.
"Why would I think of something like that?" Hibiki said.
"Yeah, why would she think of that?" Zento backs her up.
"You're lying! You see, I can see into people hearts. Come on, let me have a look..." Ellen said as she held up both of her hands into a triangle and look through it, seeing something both Hibiki and Zento can't see. A golden G Clef was embedded to Hibiki's heart and Ellen was very please.
"I knew it. I know a G Clef when I smell one."
'I have a bad feeling about this.' Zento thought.
"Just what I need to complete the score." Ellen said.
"What're talking about?" Hibiki said as she is confused.
"Nothing to do with you!" Ellen said before she jumps off the edge she sat.
"Watch out! Eh?" Hibiki cries out to catch her but right before her and Zento's eyes.
She turned into a cat that has a smooth dark purple fur with light purple fur around her neck. She has a pink heart-like making on her forehead and has golden bands tied around her. Finally, she had light purple music note marking around her eyes.
"I'll be taking that emblem of yours!" Ellen said.
"She turned into a cat!?" Hibiki shouts in surprise.
"Oh my god!" Zento shouts in shock.
Hibiki ran off in fright and grab Zento's hands as she dragging him along.
"Get back here!" Ellen said, giving them a chase.
"NIGERUNDAYO!" Zento shouts as he was not drag by Hibiki anymore and ran as well.
(Concert Hall: outside)
They ran out of the church only to be stopped by three well-dressed men, each wearing their own colors and wearing purple ropes. On the left was big and has a weird haircut along with his beard, wearing the color green. At the middle was average man with wavy hair, wearing the color pink. And on the right is a man that seem to be cool with long hair, wearing the color blue.
"You shall not pass~!" The three man sing.
"What the heck!?" Hibiki said in surprise again.
"Where do they even come from!?' Zento said.
"Don't worry now, You'll just feel a little picking in your heart..." Ellen said as she was coming up to them.
"That's creepy." Zento said.
"It was suppose to be. Now stay still." Ellen said as she was about to pick Hibiki's heart until...
"Stop that-nya~!"
A new voice yelled out as Zento and Hibiki look up and see a small white cat with pink ears, pink heart, and musical notes on her face. The cat landed perfectly on her feet and face Ellen.
"Hummy!" Ellen exclaimed in surprise.
"A cat fell from the sky!?" Hibiki said in surprise too.
"I'm not surprise at this point." Zento sigh.
The cat known as Hummy turns to Zento and Hibiki and introduces herself.
"I'm Hummy-nya! Don't worry, I'm not anyone suspicious-nya!"
"Oh, hello. The name's Zento. Tokigawa Zento, nice to meet ya Hummy." Zento greets the white cat.
"Oi! How come you're not surprise anymore! That cat's totally suspicious!" Hibiki tells him before jewel-like creatures floated down to Hummy. There are seven in total that they in colors of pink, white, yellow, orange, green, blue, and cyan. "Look, there are those floating things following it!"
"These are the Fairy Tones-nya! They're my special friends-nya!" Hummy said as she introduce them.
"Kon'nichiwa!" The Fairy Tones spoke.
"Oh! They spoke!" Zento said.
"That's surprises you now!?" Hibiki exclaimed.
"What are you doing here, Hummy?" Ellen ask. "After all, we only managed to steal the Legendary Score because you couldn't stop us."
"I've already wiped that sad memory from my mind-nya!" Hummy said happily.
"How carefree are you, seriously!?" Ellen exclaimed angrily before calming down. "Who cares, just get out of my way! Be a good cat and curl up under the table!"
"But you're a cat too, Siren-nya.." Hummy points out.
"Oh, just shut up!" Ellen or Hummy refers to Siren exclaimed angrily.
"Siren? Wasn't her name Ellen?" Zento asked. But Siren was too busy glaring at Hummy to answer him.
"Those two remind me of Kanade and I..." Hibiki said.
"Now do you mention it you're right." Zento agrees with her, seeing these two cats are similar to Hibiki and Kanade.
"Hibiki? Zento?"
Hearing their names, they turn around and see Kanade was standing there with a record holder in her hands.
"Kanade!" Hibiki said in surprise.
"What are you two doing here?" Kanade ask.
"I could ask you the same thing." Hibiki said before seeing the record holder in her hands. "Eh, that record..."
"Ah." Kanade quickly tries to hide the record behind before she explains. "We don't have a record player, so when I want to listen to it I come here. Like we used to... though I doubt you even remember any more, Hibiki."
That struck a cord in Hibiki as she turns away, acting like she didn't care.
"What the heck!? I don't care about your stupid record!"
That struck a cord in Kanade as she gasp and look at Hibiki shocked.
"How mean!"
'Oh boy, they're fighting again.' Zento thought.
"I'm fed up of fighting with you!"
'You are fighting with her right now.'
"It's your fault! I can't believe you don't remember this record!"
"Oh she remembers, she just being a tsundere." Zento said tries to break up the fight.
"W-W-Who are you calling a tsundere you Baka!" Hibiki blushed.
"Then why she's being mean?" Kanade ask.
"I told you, she being a tsundere." He replies.
"Z-Zento baka! Baka! Baka!" Hibiki said to him as she pounding on his shoulder.
"Fighting is band-nya..." Hummy said.
"Let them be! Go on!" Siren interrupts Hummy.
"Eh?" Kanade blinked at the white and purple cats, then started to freak out. "T-That cat talked!"
"I'm Hummy-nya! I'm not suspicious-nya!"
"You look really suspicious to me!" Kanade said.
"Oh, that's what she said too-nya!" Hummy said, talking about Hibiki. "You two sure are alike-nya!"
"No, we're not!" Both Hibiki and Kanade said at the same time.
"No matter how you girls deny it you two are alike either way." Zento points out.
"ZENTO! SHUT UP!" Both girls yelled at him at the same time.
"You girls harmonized-nya!" Hummy said, making the girls glaring each other with their eyes twitching.
'Denial~!' Zento thought.
Suddenly, Siren gasped as she saw the same golden G Clef within Kanade.
"She's the same? I'll be taking both your emblems! You handle that one Trio de Minor!"
"Yes, ma'am~!" The three known as the Trio de Minor sang.
"Watch out-nya!" Hummy cried.
"Eh?" Kanade said confused. Suddenly, the Trio de Minor surround her before she know it.
"Kanade!" Hibiki cried out in worry.
"Watch your own back!" Siren said as she jump towards Hibiki.
"Hibiki!" Kanade cried out in worry, not realizing that the big man of the Trio de Minor had thrust his hand towards her back.
"Oh no-nya!"
'This is not good!' Zento thought as he looked between two girls. He wouldn't be able to save both in time and he knew that. That thought stalled his reaction and both Siren and the big green man struck the girls.
"Look out!" Zento cried for acting too late to react and went to save the nearest to him being Hibiki when all of a sudden, a glow erupted from her, blinding him and holding him back as another glow came from Kanade.
"W-What is this!?"
Siren and the green Trio de Minor was about to reach the golden G Clef but...
FLASH!
Suddenly, a burst of electricity came from both girls, blowing away Siren and the Trio de Minor as the only ones who stood their ground was both Zento and Hummy. The energy disappeared and the girls regained consciousness, blinking in confusion before they looked at each other and said at the same time.
"What the heck?"
"Why?" Siren began as she and the Trio de Minor looked on in surprise. "Why couldn't we take them?"
"I wonder why-nya?" Hummy said, she too confused as M. Hibiki went to see if the girls were okay. "Maybe there's something special about those two-nya."
"Are you girls okay?" Zento asked as he was worrying about them.
"We're fine." Kanade said before asking, "But was that?"
"I have no idea." Hibiki said.
Suddenly, both talking cats gasped in surprise when they saw on the record Kanade was carrying was what appeared to be a cartoonish looking music note.
"I see a Note!" Both cats said at the same time.
"Stop copying me!" Siren exclaimed angrily when Hummy ran past her.
"I'll take it first-nya!"
"Saseru ka!" Siren said before she shouted.
"Come out, Negatone!"
"Nega-what?" Zento said when a dark sound wave came from Siren and passed over the thing known as a Note.
Suddenly, it changed from pink to red and looked more evil. Then, an evil aura covered the record and flew out of Kanade's hand before right before everyone's eyes, dark energy taking the form of some sort of bird or dragon appeared and enveloped the record. In an explosion, in its place was some sort of skeletal record player monster.
"NEGATONE!"
"OH MY GOD!" Zento shouted
"Stop! That record is…!" Kanade began.
"Kanade…" Hibiki looked at her former friend.
"What's so special about that record-nya?" Hummy asked.
"That…" Hibiki was the one to answer. "That record…That precious record holds so many memories of us!"
"Hibiki!" Kanade said, surprised that her former friend actually remembered the record after all.
"Kanade…"
BA-DUMP!
BA-DUMP!
Suddenly, from within both girls, the G Clef emblems that Siren and the Trio de Minor were trying to take pulsed like hearts.
"Ah! Don't tell me these two are…!" Hummy said.
"They are what Hummy?" Zento asked when suddenly, the being known as a Negatone jumped over them.
"That's right! Now, head to the town and play the Melody of Sorrow!" Siren commanded.
"I do not like the sound of that." Zento said.
"She turned our precious record…" Hibiki began.
"…into that monster?" Kanade finished.
"We'll never forgive you for this!"
Suddenly, light appeared in front of the girls as from within them, the G Clef emblems that Siren and the Trio de Minor had tried to take came out and glowed a golden, blinding glow.
"Again with the lights!?" Zento said, covering his eyes.
"Eh!? What's going on!?" Hibiki said.
"What is this light!?" Kanade asked.
Suddenly, the G Clef emblems glowed before they both turned into a brooch-like device. The main body is a white and gold heart with two musical note symbols attached to the bottom. In the center is a large crystal gem with four small gems surrounding its top; one side has a white and pink gem, while the other has a purple and blue gem. On top is a silver ornament with a small crystal heart lined in gold, along with a hole. A button sticks out from the bottom.
Both girls catch their respective brooches as they look at it in confusion before looking at each and said in sync.
"What are these?"
"Brooches?" Zento said, looking at the devices in the girls' hands.
"Who the hell are you two girls!?" Siren demanded, now cautious of the two.
"I knew it! These two are the legendary warriors, Precure-nya!" Hummy exclaimed happily.
"Precure?" Zento repeated.
"Eh!?" Both girls look at Hummy in surprise. The legendary Pretty Cures? Them!?
"Precure!?" Siren exclaimed in surprise.
"It's your time to shine, Fairy Tones-nya!" Hummy said, turning to her friends and clapped. "Nyapu nyapu!"
"Dodo!"
"Rere!"
Suddenly, the pink and white one floats forth. Hummy then turns back to the girls and tells them, "Now, both of you shout out in harmony: Let's play! Precure Modulation-nya!"
"Eh?"
"I think Hummy onto something girls, but hurry or else your precious record's going to escape." Zento said, pointing over to the Negatone.
"He's right-nya! Quickly before that monster gets to town-nya!" Hummy said. Time was of the essence!
Both girls look back towards the monster known as a Negatone and the girls look at it with determination.
"Let's get that record back, Kanade." Hibiki said.
"Okay, Hibiki!" Kanade said before the girls raise their devices.
The pink Fairy Tone lands into Hibiki's while the white one lands into Kanade's.
"Let's play! Precure Modulation!"
Both girls shout out in harmony before the Fairy Tones sink in deeper into the device before said device sticks to the girls' chest and pieces of cloth appear out of nowhere, garbing the two girls as soon, their outfit and even their eyes and hair color changed.
Hibiki's eyes are now bright blue while her long, fuchsia curly hair is pulled into thick, slightly messy pigtails each held with a braid. Her bangs slightly grow in length, and she gains a headband attached to a hot pink knot-bow with a stone heart in the middle. She gains dangle earrings, with the ear piece being a hot pink sphere connected to a pale pink heart. She wears a frilly two-piece costume composed of a hot pink top and skirt with white trim and three layer ruffle sleeves, coming in hot pink, fuchsia, and white. Sewn to the center of the chest is a matching hot pink and white bow with her brooch-like device rests in the center. The skirt is a frilly tutu made of a top, a fuchsia pleat beneath it, and a layer of white on top of two frilly petticoats. A pale pink bow is sewn on the left hip. Included are hot pink wrist-lets with bows and white ruffles. The shoes are hot pink with white cuff and a single fuchsia ribbon wrapped around it with a hot pink stone in the middle. Worn with them are thigh high hot pink stockings.
Next is Kanade as her eyes are now bright green while her hair grows in length and is very curly, turning platinum blonde. The ponytail is held with a single braid and she wears a white knot-bow attached to a headband that has a pink heart in the center. She wears a white dress with pale pink trim and a white and fuchsia bow at the center of the chest, where her brooch-like device rests. Her sleeves are puffed and she wears white ruffled wrist-lets with pale pink trim and bows with a heart above it. A fuchsia bow is sewn to the left hip, and her skirt is in three layers on top of two white frilly petticoat layers. The top skirt is lined in pale pink, while the third layer is solid pale pink. Her boots are white with pale pink toe and heel, along with fuchsia lining, string, and bows adorned with a single heart. She also gains a white ribbon choker and dangle earrings, with the top a pale pink heart and the bottom a dark pink circle.
"Playing a frantic tune, Cure Melody!" Hibiki, or rather Cure Melody now declares before striking a pose.
"Playing the tranquil melody, Cure Rhythm!" Kanade, or rather Cure Rhythm declares before she too strikes a pose.
"Resonate!"
The two then clap before they say as one.
"Our musical suite! Suite Pretty Cure!"
'Eh!? We're Pretty Cure!?' Both girls thought in their mind.
Everyone's heard about the legendary warriors known as Pretty Cures and to find out that they had become those same legendary warriors was beyond surprising! Zento was amazed, seeing his friends become superheroes was out of this world! It was exactly like when he met Build and Cross-Z in his dream last night.
"Whoa! Sugei!" Zento said, looking at the two girls in surprise before turning back to the Negatone to see it attacking. "Abunai!"
"NEGA!"
The Negatone swung down its arm to slice the two down with its record hand.
Quickly, Melody grabbed Rhythm and jumped away from the attack, skidding to a stop as Melody released Rhythm.
"Get it together, okay? You're pretty slow, that's why." Melody said.
"Slow!? Really!?" Rhythm exclaimed angrily.
"Incoming!" Zento shouted over as the Negatone attacked them again, forcing them to dodge before the Negatone began to fire giant record disks at them. The two dodged as best they could, just managing to dodge the disk when they bumped into each other. They held their heads before they quickly ducked under another disk.
"You two are out of sync-nya!" Hummy shouted over to them as Hibiki carried her and kept her away at a safe distance in a tree. "Please combine your hearts together and fight-nya!"
"Even if you say that…" Rhythm said as the two look at each other. The two of them haven't done anything together for a long time!
The two look at each other before they got back up and faced the Negatone who's record dicks hands started to spin around and buzz like chainsaws. Rhythm looks at her hand before grasping Melody's.
"Hibiki!"
Melody wasn't too pleased by this, but she knew they had to work together if they wanted to get their record back. The then saw the Negatone firing more disks at them and Melody acted fast.
"One, two…!" Melody said before she jumped.
However, Rhythm didn't react fast enough and found herself dragged upward, but not by enough as her leg got hit by one of the disks, causing the two of them to tumble back down to the ground. Melody got back up angrily and shouted at Rhythm.
"What are you doing!?"
"You were too fast!" Rhythm exclaimed as she was glad to still have her leg.
"This isn't going so well." Zento point out.
"Don't give up! One more time-nya!" Hummy insisted.
The two Cures look at the cat before got up and grabbed hands. They saw the Negatone shoot more disks at them and they acted.
"One, two-Wah!"
This time, it was Rhythm who acted too fast as Melody's leg was the one that got hit this time as they tumbled back down to the ground.
"This time you were too slow!" Rhythm exclaimed.
"Your timing was off that time!" Melody shouted back while also glad to still have her leg.
"No time to argue right now! Look out in front!" Zento shouted to the girls in time as they saw more disks fired at them and the two quickly dodged, flipping back before they heard Siren and the Trio de Minor laughing at them.
"Negatone! Wipe those fools out already!" Siren commanded as the Negatone started to walk towards the two Cures.
"Melody! Rhythm!" Hummy shouted over to the Cures, getting their attention. "Negatone is a monster that which will bring sorrow to the world-nya! If you two don't defeat it, the world will fall into sorrow-nya! Please, combine your hearts again and fight-nya!"
Melody and Rhythm look at the cat before looking at each other and nod. They then jumped away and ran around the Negatone, intending to attack it from two different sides. As one, they both jumped and attacked the Negatone.
"Dodge!" Siren shouted.
"Dodge~!" The Trio de Minor sang.
And dodge the Negatone did as it moved out of the way quickly, causing the two Cures to crash into each other as Rhythm had the most momentum and they both flew towards a tree, hanging upside down. Piccolo would be proud.
Zento couldn't help, but face palm himself as the girls said in sync.
"Itai~!"
"You really are slow!" Melody said to the Cure next to her.
"What? It's my fault?" Rhythm said when suddenly, they both transformed back to Kanade and Hibiki.
"Aww, they went back to normal-nya." Hummy said sadly as she explained. "It's because you two couldn't combine your hearts-nya."
"Well that's a bad drawback." Zento said as Kanade and Hibiki puffed their cheeks and glared at one another.
"Hahahaha!" Siren laughed. "Looks like your friendship is only skin deep."
Zento was devastated seeing how they were helpless fighting that Negatone, if he only he can help them then it'll even things up. But then suddenly...
RUSTLE!
RUSTLE!
They heard footsteps as they look to the right and see something that freak them out even the Negatone.
It was Another Build walking towards them as it was searching for its best matches.
"W-W-What is that!?" Hibiki exclaimed.
"It's horrifying!" Kanade screams.
"Nya nya!" Hummy agreed with them, it was terrifying.
Siren and the Trio de Minor were surprise seeing a monster that is not a Negatone. But for Siren, she was having the creeps upon seeing it.
"You three, tell me! What is that?!" Siren shout at the Trio de Minor.
"We have no idea~!" The three snag as they were backing up as Another Build was walking closer to them.
Another Build look at Siren and the Trio de Minor.
"Cat. Three Stooges. Best match janai."
The bad guys jumped back as they were more creep out by what it was saying.
"Who want to be with these stooges!" Siren shout creeping out.
"OI~" Three sang offended.
Another Build then turned to Zento and the other and sees the girls hanging upside down from the tree. Zento can't put it but that monster look familiar to him, reminding him of his dream last night and see the similarities with Build.
"Melody. Rhythm. BEST MATCH~!"
The girls scream and frail their arms upside down as Another Build was coming closer to them.
"This is bad-nya! Both of you have to transform back or it'll get you-nya!" Hummy said to them as Another Build is getting closer.
"Not if I can help it!" Zento said and he steps up try to defend them.
"Zento! You can't, let us handle it!" Hibiki tells him but he ignore it.
"I can't do that!" He said before rushing toward Another Build.
"Zento!" Kanade cried in worry.
Zento ran and tries to land a punch but only to be backhanded by it as it knocks him down. But as he lands, something came out of his pocket. It was the watch from yesterday, he picks it up and look at it remembering what Tsukuyomi said to him about it granting him incredible power.
'This watch will grant you incredible power.'
"So it wasn't a dream after all..." Zento mutters as he stands up. "In that case, I will become king."
Zento look back at Another Build as it was still walking to Hibiki and Kanade. He rushes at it again.
"Stop!"
Another Build turn to him and grabs his neck as it starts to choke him.
"Zento!" Hibiki cries, she didn't know why but her heart hurts when she sees him in danger.
"The boy is a lost cause." Siren concludes.
"Agree~!" The Trio sang.
But out of nowhere, Tsukuyomi comes from around the corner and starts shoots Another Build with her Faiz Phone Blaster X letting go of Zento. The monster starts to shoots energy base basket balls at her as she dodges and shoots back.
"You're..." Zento mutters.
"Who's that?" Hibiki ask.
"I don't know, but I think Zento knows her." Kanade replies.
"Another nuisance." Siren mutters as she and the Trio watch along with the Negatone. But seeing it as a opportunity to escape but she wouldn't let a victim get away. She start to command the Negatone. "Negatone! Assist that monster!"
"NEGATONE!"
The Negatone joins the fight as slashing and throwing razor record at Tsukuyomi as she barely keep up with the two of them.
Zento gets back up as he look at the watch in deep thought. Tsukuyomi looks at him and sees the watch in his hands.
"Get rid of the watch!" Tsukuyomi shouts at him. Making the others notice the watch that Zento has.
"Eh?" Hibiki said as she was confused on what she said.
"What's so special about the watch?" Kanade ask.
"I getting a weird feeling about it-nya!" Hummy said as she sense something within the watch. Siren notice the power within the watch.
"Hmm. Must be important for a watch to be special." Siren mutters.
"That's enough nonsense of becoming a king!" Tsukuyomi shouts as she kept shooting at the two monsters.
The others blink at this for a few moments as processing on what Tsukuyomi said.
...
...
...
...
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Siren and the Trio laughed while the girls and Hummy was stunned about his dream of being king. Hummy was confused though and tilted her head in confusion. Kanade sighs and shook her head, that his dream was a childish and just a pipe dream to achieve. Hibiki was silent, just hangs there looking at Zento with a sad look on her face and see the bad guy are still laughing at him.
"You, being a king! Nonsense, that'll never happen! Hahaha!" Siren said as she kept laughing.
"The only king is our master Mephisto-sama~!" The Trio sang.
Zento kept standing hearing the laughs and sense the pity look from behind. As a kid, he was constantly being picked on for his dream but it didn't bother him back then with his optimistic attitude. Deep down he had hope on his dream becoming true no matter how hard and the road may be for him. But when he has a chance of being one and people was messing peoples hopes and dream like Siren and the Trio wa the last straw for him.
'Come on! Not even little kids says that anymore!'
'That's enough nonsense of becoming a king!'
These voices of denial and mockery echoed through his head as he was grip the watch tighter, he was on a point to give up but then he remember the advice his uncle gave to him this morning.
'I figure I'd get another chance. Turns out, life doesn't give you many chances. We can stop the hands of a clock, we can turn them back. But that's just not how life works. Sometimes, you just have to take big risks to achieve your goal. But at least, we can hope that it'll help us guide a path we take to the future.'
With that, Zento decided and determined to take this chance no matter who.
'No...I'm not let this chance pass me by!'
"It's not nonsense, I WANT TO BE KING!" Zento shouted, shocking the other especially Hibiki as he turns to Tsukuyomi. "I want to make the world a better place. I want to make people happy! When I think like that, the only choice is to become king!"
As Tsukuyomi was too busy fighting, the other look at him taken back for his speech well wide eyed for Hibiki and Kanade who are still hanging from a tree. Hibiki was moved by his determination of not giving up on his dream, she was doubtful of his dream at first but when he said that her heart flutter as she look at him in admiration.
BA-DUMP!
For a moment, her heart skip a beat as she felt something heating up her cheeks. She shook it off and see the other didn't notice as they still stunned well all except one, who is about to make his appearance.
"Yes."
They heard a new voice coming out of nowhere and turn to the source. It was the grey hooded man from yesterday as he walk to Zento's side like an retainer as they were spook by his sudden appearance.
"You simply must become king." He said.
"Now what?!" Siren exclaimed.
"Wha?" Hibiki was speechless.
"Nya?" Hummy joins her in the confusion.
"Who?" Kanade ask.
Tsukuyomi stops as she notices the hooded man and recognizes him.
"Woz...? What are you doing here?!" Tsukuyomi said.
"She knows him?" Hibiki whispers to Kanade.
"I think so." She replied quietly as they kept watching.
"Zi-O's power is unrivaled throughout time." Woz said as he take off his hood revealing his face and black hair. "Use that power and the world, including the past and future, will be yours to shape."
At that moment, they're surprisingly shock on what Woz said. For him to have a ability to change the world is crazy! Hummy is mostly confuse on what they're talking about holding her head as it steams with swirls on her eyes. Siren gritted her teeth upon hearing someone more power than her and her master. The Trio was standing there stunned except the green one, who is intrigue by it. Finally, the girls watch and see how it goes especially Hibiki who was feeling nostalgic about all this. She recall something like this but don't know where but deeply intrigue as she watch closely to Zento and Woz.
"But if I do, won't I become the most vilest overlord of all time?" Zento muttered.
"That's why you shouldn't!" Tsukuyomi told him. "Don't bring that evil!"
That's when it struck Hibiki, when Tsukuyomi said that she remember a image of Oma Zi-O from her dream the day before. It doesn't make sense, how could her friend can be that evil and ruin lives like that man.
Zento was in deep though about what he heard from Tsukuyomi and Woz. A power to change the world and to be king at the price to become the overlord. But if he gives up his dream and walk away, then surely people will get hurt if he let the monsters and Siren be. He look at the girls, they'll get involve in this and especially Hibiki. He can't just stand by and let the girls do the fighting, If he wants to be king then he has to put his safety of his subjects first and foremost. He will be king and will change his fate and others!
"I've made up my mind." Zento answers. Thus making Woz smile and shocking the girls once again. "I will become that overlord...but I won't be feared and despised. I'll become the greatest and most beloved overlord of all time!"
This surprises other yet again and look at Zento with wide eyed expression. For Hibiki, she was awestruck once again by his statement and was once again blushed as her heart skipped a beat again. Woz's however was...
"Huh?"
Suddenly, the watch began to glow as a pink holographic clock forming from it with the clock hands begun to spin until both reach point up and lite up for a moment. Then the glow faded as it revealed a new watch, it was a dial-like watch with the dial being white with a arrow pointing up and the main body is blackish grey with a white crown button on top. The front of the watch had the symbol for Kamen and the year 2018 stating the year it was born.
The watch Zento had became the Zi-O RideWatch.
Zento was amaze on it's activation as Woz approach him with a red pillow presenting him the same driver Geiz uses. It was white and grey in color, the front of it had a display screen with two slots protruding on each side of the belt for inserting the RideWatches and a crown button on top.
Woz presents him the Ziku Driver.
"This is for you, my overlord." Woz said as Zento grabs the driver as he was examining it. "You should know how to use it."
Zento looks at it a little more before placing it upon his waist as it ejects a belt wrapping around and tighten it firmly.
[ZIKU DRIVER!]
He then looks at Hibiki.
"Hibiki, watch as I become king." Zento said as he held the RideWatch to his side twisting the dial clockwise pointing the arrow to the left. He then presses the button activating the RideWatch.
[ZI-O!]
A digital hologram of a clock based helmet appeared from the watch before it dissipated. Zento inserts it on the right side of the slot and it begun on standby as a sound of a clock ticking coming from the driver itself. He press the button on top of the driver, making the main driver tilt counterclockwise a little as he raise his arms to his right side before he moved over his head as they eventually landed in position. His left hand raised to the upper right side with his left palm outwards while his right was by the hip with his right palm open.
As he was doing that, a giant holographic clock form behind him with several different gears around it turning and the clock hands spinning counterclockwise. He was ready as he flick his hands and about to say the word that'll change his life forever.
"Henshin!"
He backhanded the driver as it spins 340 degrees counterclockwise until it went back to its original position while brought his arms in a X pattern before bringing back to his sides.
DING! DONG!
The clock hand from the holographic clock spins together at the twelfth before split to the sides, the small hand landed on the ten and the big hand landed on the two. Pink Katakana word spelled 'Rider' formed under the clock hand.
[RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER! ZI-O!]
The Katakana pulsed outwards, launching them ahead of him as three holographic watch bands circle around him forming his armor. They dissipated a moment later as Zento was in his armor.
It consist of a jet-black suit with silver band in the center with silver ornaments on sides of his shoulder and chest armor with pink highlights, pink highlights on the hips and fore legs. On his for arms are the RideWatch holders carries two blank watches on his right and one on his left, he had a silver RideWatch that says 'Bike' in Japanese carrying on his left holder. His hands are black with pink armor on his fingers and back hand. His helmet looks like a clock with a white clock piece with the symbol that spelled 'Kamen' on the forehead, and a black visor until the Katakana flew back and slammed into his visor as it shines brightly in pink.
Tokigawa Zento has become the King of Time, Kamen Rider Zi-O.
Once again, everyone look at him stun and shock as his transformed into Zi-O with their eyes wide. Hibiki was the most shock than the rest and gasped, when she was him in his armor it reminded her of Oma Zi-O from her dreams. It would mean that the dream she had was Zento being the most vilest overlord of all time!
"IWAE!" Woz proclaims, he stepped in as he opens his book and starts his announcement. "He is the heir to the power of all Riders. The King of Time, traveling beyond time and space to reign over the past and future. His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O, and you have born witness to the dawn of his advent."
"Oh no..." Tsukuyomi frowns, unable to prevent Zento to becoming Zi-O thus failing her mission.
"Grrrr..." Siren growled as she sees another nuisance in her way.
"Zento..." Hibiki said softly.
"I think...I can do this!" Zi-O said his catchphrase while messing with a crown on the side of his helmet.
Zi-O ran towards to Another Build and the Negatone as he give a powerful punch to their chest. Both of them flew back and landed in pain from Zi-O's punches. He grinned under his helmet.
"It's working!"
The other simply watch as Zi-O was fending off the monster before them, Another build tries to attack him but Zi-O dodges as he finds a opportunity the punch him. The Negatone tires to slashes with its records but he dodges and dash towards it, giving it a right hook in the face and a roundhouse rick.
SLAM!
Woz slams his book close with a audible slam echoing around him as he leaves the area. Figuring that his overlord had it under control.
After a few moment of dodging, punching and kicking, they start to shoot basketballs and records at him. The basketball bounce off Zi-O as the record hits him sending him back and when he stands back up, Another Build sends back the basketball at him hitting him back further. Siren and the Trio laughs as he was in a disadvantage with two monster.
"Negatone! Lets hurry this up and finish him!" Siren commanded it.
"NEGATONE!"
The Negatone rushes at Zi-O when he was down, Siren saw it and take the advantage over the situation.
"Zento!" Hibiki cried.
"Oh no.." Kanade mutters.
"Nya!" Hummy cries in worry.
"Ow..." Zi-O groans and sees the Negatone coming at him. But then from his belt, it shined pink blinding the Negatone as it steps back. Pink Katakana characters came out of the belt as it becomes a pink holographic clock in his hand turning into a weapon for him. It was a black and silver double-edge clock theme sword with green highlights and buttons along with a slot for the RideWatch above the handle. Between the bland and hilt was a pink Japanese Katakana spelling 'Ken', meaning sword.
[ZIKAN GIRADE!]
"Is this...?"
[KEN!]
"A sword...?"
Another Build and the Negatone quickly shot a basketball and record again as Zi-O immediately blocks them with his sword and gets up from the ground. He then press the button as the blade glow pink and slashes through the basketball and records before slashing them both. As Negatone groans while Siren yells at it to get up, Another Build had enough and produces another basketball as it jumps high in the air ready to throw it. Zi-O look at he slot on his sword and got him thinking in a second before looking at his RideWatch. Quickly, he took out his RideWatch and insert it into the sword as it announce something.
[FINISH TIME!]
He jumps toward Another build ready to finish him.
[ZI-O! GIRI GIRI SLASH!]
Zi-O swung his sword diagonally slicing through the basketball and Another Build as a clock appeared temporarily before it explodes. When the explosion occur, no one notices the young man landed in the wood unconscious as they were focused on Zi-O. He stood up and place his RideWatch back into the driver and see the Nega tone getting back up. On instinct he press the button on his RideWatch as it announces again.
[FINISH TIME!]
He press the button on his driver tilting again, forming around the Negatone was multiple Katakana characters for 'kick' merging one by one like a ticking clock as Zi-O ran again gaining speed and jumps high in the air and spun the driver again and it announces the finishing move.
[TIME BREAK!]
The Katakana move toward Zi-O hitting the Negatone in the process as he tuck his left leg and sticking out his right forming a flying kick position and the Katakana slams into his right foots emitting power into it beginning Zi-O's Time Break.
As the kick landed the Negatone flew back as it exploded in black smoke as it reverted back to the girls precious recorder. Zi-O lands after the kick and stands up and see the record is back in one piece.
"Sugei...I can't believe I did all of that." Zi-O mutters as he picks up the record, when he did the Note popped out and float around him in glee.
"Nyapu! Nyapu! You did it! You got the Note-nya!" Hummy happily cheered as the Fairy Tones surrounds them.
The Note happily went to the pink Fairy tone for safe keeping and the it cheered for the retrieval.
"Dodo! Dory!"
Hibiki and Kanade were glad that their precious record is safe, but they have a lot of questions for Zento and Hummy as soon as they get down from the tree. Siren and the Trio were furious to see that the Negatone and Another Build were defeated, mostly the Negatone though see that they didn't know about Another Build. Siren was scratching the pink hair Trio while the rest just watch and stunned by their defeat.
But for Tsukuyomi, seeing that Zi-O was strong enough to beat two monster was a bad thing for her. She thinks that it was a beginning of the end for the world as we know it, but it's not too late to change history. Then as she watches, she heard a familiar voice she knew all too well.
"Looks like you couldn't change history."
Everyone turned to the newcomer coming their way. It was a boy same age as Zento, dressed in all black suit with red linings. He wore a body in the same color and lining with a cover around the neck area. On his left arm is the same RideWatch holder as him with one red and the other grey.
This boy is the Kamen Rider from the year 2068, his full name is Myokoin Geiz.
"Why did you choose to become an overlord?!"
"It's the path I chose." Zi-O state but he rethinks it and state this instead. "No... I think I was destined to choose this path from the moment I was born!"
Once those words reach Geiz's ears it was stunned in disbelief. It was the same word he heard from his time, as Oma Zi-O eradicated most of the resistance he said it to them. Geiz frowns, he remembers those word echoing in his mind.
"You fools could never defeat me. Do you know why? Because I was born to be king.'
Geiz steels himself as he look back at Zi-O in determination.
"I see... In that case, I need to put an end to that destiny right now!" Geiz declared as he removes a red RideWatch from his holder, It was black with a red dial and button and has the same symbol for kamen as Zi-O's but has the year 2068 on it. He straps his Ziku-Driver on his waist.
[ZIKU-DRIVER!]
"Eh?"
"Huh?"
"Nani?"
"Nya?"
Zi-O, the girls, and Hummy were confused before Geiz held out his RideWatch in front as he turns the Dial and activate it.
[GEIZ!]
He then inserts the watch to the right side of the driver and slams the crown button with his fist as digital beeping was heard from the driver. Appearing behind Geiz was a futuristic holographic digital clock with gears surround it spinning counterclockwise. He put out both arms before him, swing his arm grabbing both ends of the driver.
"Henshin!" Geiz shouts with a stern look and spins his driver back to position as the holographic digital clock spin back to place.
BEEP! BEEP!
[RIDER TIME!]
Yellow Hiragana word for 'rider' formed on the clock as Geiz was surrounded by red and black wrist bands surrounding him. The Hiragana pulse and flew out during his transformation.
[KAMEN RIDER! GEIZ!]
Geiz transformed when the wrist bands dissipated and the Hiragana slam into his visor completing his transformation, thus shocking the girls and Hummy. Siren and the Trio witness this seeing another nuisance standing their way. Geiz then takes another watch out from his holder, a orange dial watch with a eye symbol and the year 2015. He turns the dial before activating it.
[GHOST!]
He inserts it to the left side of the driver, pressing the driver's button again and spins it announcing something else.
[ARMOR TIME!]
The driver flew out a new Hiragana word, behind him was a holographic Eyecon with a banner saying 'Armor Time!' materializing a set of black armor that strikes a pose before breaking apart around Geiz imitating his movement as he move forward. The armor attaches onto Geiz getting him a new look and the Hiragana slams onto his visor.
The new armor was mostly black with orange highlights resembling bones, black and orange chest plate with a spectral eye symbol in front, giant Eyecons on each shoulder. His helmet was black with a orange face, a silver horn on the forehead, and his visor now spells 'Ghost'.
This is Kamen Rider Geiz, Ghost armor.
[KAIGAN! GHOST!]
Everyone except Tsukuyomi was shock again seeing Geiz in his Ghost armor, the girls had their mouth open and widen their eyes again. Hummy was too and had her paws on her face. Siren had enough of this and ordered the Trio de Minor to retreat for now but in secret they his inside the bushes unknowing the basketball player was right next to them. Tsukuyomi watches seeing that it was avoidable since Geiz was too stubborn to reason with right now. But for Zento, he was both stunned and worry right now seeing Geiz was walking towards him.
"Here I come, Oma Zi-O!" Geiz said and proceed his attack on Zento.
"Eh?! J-Just wait a second." Zi-O cried out but no luck.
Geiz does a meditation hand sign summoning four parkas ghost as he charges in and the parkas follows.
-The screen closes in the time portal with three RideWatches. Zi-O in the middle, Geiz on the right, and Ghost on the Left.-
Jikai, Kamen Rider Zi-O: Melodious Quartzer
Geiz attacks Zi-O, then does Omega Time Burst towards Zi-O before Tsukuyomi interferes with her Time Mazine.
Geiz: You have to die, for the future's sake.
Geiz chase Zi-O with their Ride Strikers, then show Geiz was down and Tsukuyomi aids him.
Tsukuyomi: Is this the same Oma Zi-O we know?
Hibiki and Kanade were inside the church with Hummy and the fairy tones. They turn away from each other not wanting to look back.
Hibiki: There's no way I can be a Precure! I just can't get along with Kanade...
Hummy tries to reason with them but now luck. Then changes to Zento faces Kanade asking her about the first day.
Kanade: That's my line! There's no way I can harmonize with Hibiki!
Zento: Tell me what happen that day Kanade!
Zento helps a little girl find her friend as Hibiki and Kanade follows him. Then Another Build appeared as Zento transform into Zi-O and defends the girls.
Hibiki: We use to be best of friends...but it all changed on that day.
Zento look at Geiz telling about Another Build as they went back to 2017 along with Hibiki and Kanade.
Hibiki/Kanade: Yes...The day of the entrance ceremony.
Changes to Woz with a open book announcing as Kamen Rider Zi-O Build Armor appears. Geiz shooting with his Zikan Z-Ax as Melody and Rhythm kick Another Build together.
Woz: This is Kamen Rider Zi-O, Build Armor.
Sento does his signature catchphrase along with Zi-O. Changes to Zi-O, Geiz, Build, Cross-Z, Melody, and Rhythm standing side by side.
Sento: I've got a winning formula!
Zento: I think I can do this. Let's go Geiz, Kanade, Hibiki!
Hibiki/Kanade: Our harmony will resonate in our hearts!
Next time: Best Match 2017 - Gagaaaan! The Precures might be splitting up already?!
IWAE! The first chapter is done!
As you can see, this is the most long chapter I ever written in my life. Took longer then I had to but I'm a human being, I had a life too and have have my responsibilities as the rest. So it make that a while to do the next one, we'll have to see and find out don't we.
Besides, a Zi-O story after the series is done is keeping our spirit of the Heisei Riders live on and keep on living until the end. Especially how it ended, it really move me that Sougo didn't take the same path as his future self. Seeing Oma Zi-O's transformation is awesome and the jingle is badass.
Now the Reiwa will begin with it's first Rider, Zero-One, I can't wait to see it in action.
I'll be look at the other Rider stories for now and see what other stories I could do.
Please post any comments, questions, and suggestion you can.
'Til then, IWAE for Zi-O!
