"FIRE, WATER, WIND, EARTH, LIGHT, DARKNESS, WOOD, STEEL, ICE, THUNDER!" the touch screen phone announced as Vortex pressed the emblems. He pulled the handles of his V-Driver and twisted the buckle up and finally it called out, "ULTIMATE MASKED RIDE: VORTEX COMPLETE!"

As he got up, a black card with his emblem drawn in red on it with the ten elements encircling it set itself between his helmet's antennae as his eyes flashed. In an instant 10 blank cards set themselves across his shoulder-pads and chestplate. The cards flipped over to reveal the elemental symbols depicted on them as Vortex's armor began to change color. The red of his armor turned completely silver and the white turned black as his eyes and antennae turned red. The cards across his shoulders and chest were framed in red. He then replaced the V-Driver Buckle with the Touch Screen Buckle, setting the V-Driver Buckle on his right hip. The cards each flashed as the symbols in the Touch Screen Buckle also blinked.

This was Vortex Complete Form.

"Huh?" Ifrit gawked as he slashed at a Horror with his DynoGasher Sword.

"Could he do that?" Pluto asked as he blasted two Horrors to pieces with electrical bolts.

"No, that's new." Ifrit wondered mentally, 'Where did he get that form?'

The Nytemare didn't seem impressed and lunged at Vortex who then swung his sword at it, sending it staggering back. He slashed continuously at the Nytemare who stumbled back from each blow. It took a swipe at the newly evolved Vortex who dodged to the side and then the Rider kicked it in the back. It roared and then fired a several balls of blood red energy at Vortex who swatted them away with several swings of his V-Book's blade. The orbs exploded around him dramatically. With a shriek, the Bat Nytemare rose into the air and Vortex saw that its wings were glowing. It was obviously powering up for an attack. Vortex acted quickly and pressed down on the symbol for fire that was on the Touch Screen Buckle.

"FIRE!" The cards on his body flipped over and all depicted the symbol he'd just pressed.

Vortex took a card from his V-Book and slotted it into his V-Driver Buckle.

"ULTIMATE MASKED RIDE: DRACO SURVIVOR!"

The card between his antennae changed to depict Draco Survivor Mode as the Rider in question appeared at his side, surprising the other Riders, Draco especially.

"Nani!?" the Dragon Rider gawked.

Vortex drew another card and slotted it into his V-Driver. As he did, Draco Survivor Mode followed his motions.

"ULTIMATE ATTACK RIDE: DRA-DRA-DRA-DRACO!"

The cards depicting the Kanji for 'fire' on his armor flashed. His V-Book's blade became enveloped in flames and he swung his sword twice, sending two arcs of flames at the Nytemare. Draco Survivor Mode did the same, his sword sending arcs of flames at the Nytemare alongside Vortex's attack. The flames exploded against the Nytemare, incinerating its wings. Draco Survivor Mode vanished as the Nytemare dropped hard to the ground with a loud crash.

"Sugoi," said Tenshi. The Horrors determined that Vortex was the bigger threat and charged at him. He pressed the Kanji for ice on his buckle.

"ICE!" The cards on his armor flipped over to depict the Kanji symbol for 'ice'.

Vortex drew a card and slotted it into his V-Driver.

"ULTIMATE MASKED RIDE: IFRIT GOLD!"

"Huh!?" Ifrit gaped when he heard this and also saw his own ultimate form standing by Vortex's side as it appeared.

Like Draco Survivor Mode had done before, Ifrit Gold Form now stood at Vortex's side and the card beween his antennae switched to one depicting Ifrit Gold Form. Ifrit Gold Form followed his motions as he activated his next card.

"ULTIMATE ATTACK RIDE: IF-IF-IF-IFRIT!!"

The cards depicting the Kanji for 'ice' flashed as he converted his V-Book into Gun Mode and aimed at the Horrors. Ifrit Gold Form was also armed with the Liner Cross-Rod, also in Gun Mode, which he aimed at the Horrors with. Frost energy and Mythical Ki was focused into their weapons. They squeezed the triggers and fired surges of freezing energy at the Horrors, freezing them and destroying them as they shattered to pieces, before Ifrit Gold Form vanished.

"Woah! Now that's power!" Pluto gawked. He now wanted to analyze Vortex's gear.

"THUNDER!" The cards now depicted the Kanji for thunder.

The Nytemare charged towards Vortex who had a card in hand. He then slotted his card into the V-Driver.

"ULTIMATE MASKED RIDE: SCARAB HYPER!"

"Woah!" Scarab stared as she saw herself in Hyper Form appear next to Vortex. The card between Vortex's antennae changed to match the newly summoned Rider. Vortex then activated the final card to finish the job.

"ULTIMATE ATTACK RIDE: SCA-SCA-SCA-SCARAB!"

As the cards depicting the Kanji for 'thunder' flashed, Vortex jumped into the air with electricity crackling around his legs. Hyper Scarab did the same with the same electrical energy around her legs. They then executed a double drop kick which smashed into the Nytemare. The electricity crackling around their feet increased the damage. The Nytemare exploded as Vortex landed on one knee, alone, after Hyper Scarab disappeared.

"What…a rush," Vortex managed to utter after he caught his breath.

"Hey, Rookie!" Vortex turned his head to see Ifrit walking towards him. With him were Scarab, Tenshi, Sting, Draco and a couple of Riders he had never seen before.

Vortex got up to his feet as the Stasis Field faded. "Hai, Sempai?"

"Where did you get the fancy new buckle?" Ifrit asked

"And can I take it apart?" asked Pluto hopefully. He received a slap in the back of the head from Shadowcobra. "Hey!"

"Stop being an idiot and start acting like the genius you claim to be," chided Shadowcobra.

"Well, Rookie?" Ifrit glared. If Topper had given it to Yuuki, Ryuji had to know.

"I got it from a strange man," Vortex answered.

"Topper?"

"No. This man had three scars over his right eye and red streaks in his hair," Vortex answered. Draco and Ifrit stared at him. "What? What is it? Do you know who he is?"

"Dad," muttered Ifrit.

"Otousan…" murmured Draco.

"Huh?" Vortex blinked.

"Never mind, Rookie. By the way, nice suit," said Ifrit before he turned away from the others and walked off. Tenshi followed after him.

"What's wrong?" Vortex asked.

"Nothing you need to worry yourself about," Draco told him.

"SLOTH"

"If there isn't anything else, our meeting is adjourned," finished the Student Council President. "Enjoy your Golden Week. I'll be seeing you all on the first day after the holidays."

As the Student Council rose, the President spoke to Ryuji, "Hasuma-san, I'm impressed by the efforts of the SDF. School discipline has improved and there are less and less cases of student delinquency and misbehavior. How do you do it?"

"Well, I know how delinquents think, Mr. President," said Ryuji. "I mean I was considered one not too long ago."

"Yes, and I do remember that you helped expose that despicable Gunjo-sensei's true nature," added President Hayashimizu.

"I did what I thought was right. I just thought he was a jerk, actually," said Ryuji.

"Well, keep up the good work and continue to protect the student body."

"Yes, Sir!" Ryuji saluted.

"Ryuji-kun, let's go!" Kotonoha called.

"Hai, Koto-chan!" Ryuji called back. He turned to Hayashimizu. "See you after Golden Week!"

Hayashimizu snapped his fan shut and smiled before saying to his Vice President, Ren Mikihara. "Shall we go, Vice President Mikihara?"

"Yes, we shall, President Hayashimizu," the beauty replied as she took his hand. Her uniform had a much longer skirt, reaching down to her knees. She just wasn't comfortable wearing such a short skirt like the standard uniform.

"I'll be seeing you later, Kat-sempai," said Yuuki as he hung his camera on his neck and left the Newspaper Club room.

"Call me chief!" Kat reminded. She looked at his photos. They were still good quality, despite him being an amateur. "Might look good on the first issue after Golden Week."

Yuuki gave a sigh as he made his way downstairs. Roka was waiting for him at the parking lot. She had already finished basketball practice a while ago. Kat had just come to check on his photos. The Saint Beast Rider of Byakko was obviously busy since she was both Editor-in-Chief/President of the Newspaper Club and also a member of the girls' basketball team.

Of course, what was mostly on Yuuki's mind wasn't all that. He took out his new V-Touch (which was what it said under the screen) buckle and stared at it. It still had the new Ultimate Masked Ride card inside. On the backside of the card was his emblem surrounded by the Kanji of the Ten Elements and on its face was the Ten Elements in three rows within a gold border. With this simple device his armor had evolved into something called Complete Form.

From what he gathered, the man who'd given the V-Touch was father of the four Hasumas attending this school. His name was Kyousuke. Ryuji seemed to have trouble talking about him. It was like he resented his father or something. Ryuki was just surprised to know that his father was here in this world.

Yuuki never even had the chance to thank the man for his new weapon. It would definitely be useful. Complete Form's power had been awesome and Yuuki couldn't wait to try it out again.

Yuuki got to the shoe lockers and put his shoes on after putting the slippers back into his locker. He ran out to the parking lot to see Roka waiting for him. "Catch!" she called and she tossed him his helmet. He caught it in his hand before it collided with his face. That would've been dangerous, though. His glasses could've broken. Of course he couldn't get upset with Roka. She was only playing.

"So, now can you tell me what happened at lunch? You blew me off," said Roka.

"Sorry, Roka-san, but there was something I had to do," he answered.

"Rider business?" she guessed. He nodded. She sighed. "You don't always have to go whenever your watch beeps. There are other Riders."

"I know that but I am this world's Rider. I have to be responsible. I can't push my job to someone else."

Roka smiled slightly. "Always wanting to be the responsible one, huh?"

"Exactly, Roka-san. I'm not a boy anymore. I'm a man."

Roka smirked in an odd yet pleasant way as she whispered to him, "It's the last day of school before Golden Week. Want to fool around?"

This made his face turn red. "Um…?"

"Come on!" She tugged on his arm and dragged him towards the sports equipment shed.

"Roka-san! Matte! I have to get home early! Nee-san is coming home!"

"Then we'll have a quickie!"

"Roka-san…!!!"

"You and Hayashimizu-san get along pretty well," said Kotonoha as she and Ryuji went down the stairs.

"Why not? He's a cool guy," Ryuji smiled.

"You're just saying that because he allows you to beat people up," retorted Kotonoha.

"And that's why I say he's cool," repeated Ryuji. "I mean I know I have issues with authority, but the guy isn't stuck-up at all or talks to me like I'm beneath me. He respects me and so I respect him."

"He's always been like that. He treats others with respect and as equals," said Kotonoha. "He's also a bit eccentric."

"Well, he's a good type of eccentric. I don't think I can handle anymore of Takada or Kat's eccentricities," said Ryuji. "I mean Takada has already caused an explosion and it's only the first day."

"And then there's Amakusa-san."

"I mean the guy's cold and girls are falling for him because he's the 'cool silent type'. They don't know how much of a snake he is."

Kotonoha couldn't deny that. Ichijyo was oddly cold. However, he was also polite to her. She didn't know much about him but in time maybe they could become good friends. In the meantime, she just wanted to go home with her fiancé.

"Hey, did you hear something?" Ryuji asked Kotonoha. She shrugged. "I could've sworn I heard someone wailing. Oh well. Let's just get home and make some dinner."

"Yes, let's go home." They held hands and intertwined their fingers together.

"So…what do you want to do for Golden Week?" asked Takada as he worked on a laptop with Ichijyo sitting across from him.

"Go back home and see my wife," answered Ichijyo as he read a book. "You?"

"The same thing. I already miss Komi!"

Takada and Ichijyo were staying on the ChronoLiner. Ant had offered them rooms to make their own. They didn't have much stuff since their belongings had been left behind on their world so they needed to buy extra clothes at the King's Terminal. Also, they would need to attend Sakakino High for some reason. Maybe it was just Warren's way of being funny, but in a way it was nostalgic. Ryuki was happy to see the four of them all together again like old times as he would call it.

"So, what are you looking at? Not pornography, I hope," said Ichijyo.

"Well, maybe I am but I'm just reading old newspaper articles. Ryuji and those other Riders are really making a name for themselves," said Takada.

Ichijyo frowned. To hear Ryuji had become a hero was just so unbelievable. He'd tried to kill them and Ichijyo couldn't forgive him for that. Of course, he could not doubt that Ryuji had changed. He seemed almost like Ryuki, except less childish.

"Say, that kid Yuuki was really something, wasn't he?" Takada asked.

"You mean Vortex? Yes. His power far exceeds the Rider Systems we have developed in Smart Brain. I heard Topper made it, which would explain it," said Ichijyo.

"Yeah, but he's still a Rookie compared to us," said Takada.

"Well, he's only been a Rider for a few months but calling him a rookie now just seems inappropriate. We called Ryuki a rookie and look at him now."

"Yeah, and now we're risking our lives again to fight Sauron. Just like the good old days." Takada began to reminisce.

"You sound like an old man," Ichijyo chided.

"Well, I'm a dad now," Takada pointed out.

"What does that have to do with anything?" Ichijyo cocked an eyebrow.

"I'll have more stories to tell my kid to see how great I am!" boasted Takada as he laughed.

Ichijyo had a feeling that Takada would alter the story to make it look like he was the best, but any child would want to look up to their father as their role model. That thought just made Ichijyo shudder. Another Takada? Another mad scientist? Ichijyo wasn't sure if he could take much more of that. One was already more than enough.

"Where are you off to?" Shukawa asked as Ryuga put his hand on the doorknob.

"Out," Ryuga answered curtly.

"Ryuga-san, we've all noticed that you've been going out alone without telling us what you're doing. We want to know what you're doing." Shukawa froze when Ryuga turned and glared at him.

"You should mind your own business, Shukawa. Don't be poking that nose of yours where it doesn't belong. For your own sakes, keep your nose in your books," Ryuga threatened before opening the door and walking out.

Shukawa finally managed to exhale the breath he had held in. He knew better than to get on Ryuga's bad side. When angry, he could become dangerous and unpredictable. Anything could set Ryuga off. He was like a ticking time bomb.

Still, Shukawa was curious about what Ryuga was doing behind their backs. Gendo didn't really care all that much, but Himeko was whining a lot more lately since Ryuga kept ignoring her. Ryuga just used her for sex whenever they were traveling and the deluded girl didn't know that she was only being used. She thought Ryuga loved her. That was impossible. Ryuga was incapable of love. He was above human emotions. However, as of late, Ryuga and Himeko hadn't been intimate and the Lobster Orphenoch was getting anxious and obnoxious.

Ryuga, dressed in blue jeans, a black turtleneck and a green jacket, sat at a bench in the park. He was looking forward with his hands folded in his lap. He was waiting. He heard footsteps and without turning he knew who it was. "Hello, Tazuka."

"Hello to you too, little brother," said Tazuka as he sat down next to Ryuga. "So, why are you here in the park?"

"Thinking, and waiting," answered Ryuga.

"What are you thinking about?"

"My existence and purpose."

"And who are you waiting for?"

"Someone."

That didn't tell Tazuka much, but the tone of Ryuga's voice told the Pisces Knight what he needed. He flipped a coin and caught it. Ryuga watched as Tazuka did that. It was one of his techniques when predicting the future.

"Someone special," Tazuka stated, "Someone who has invaded your heart. Now that is interesting."

"Why are you here?" Ryuga asked.

"I'm just relaxing, and waiting," answered Tazuka vaguely.

"What are you waiting for?" Ryuga asked. Tazuka smiled at him.

"I'm waiting for my brother to come back."

Ryuga just gawked at Tazuka before turning away with a scoff. "That boy died when I was born. You're wasting your time. He's never coming back."

"I have a feeling he's on his way home," retorted Tazuka.

Annoyed, Ryuga questioned, "Don't you ever stop talking in riddles?"

"I'm a fortuneteller. It's what I do," replied Tazuka. "Ryu…" Tazuka hesitated and corrected himself, "Ryuga, I know that when I died it broke your heart but you recovered."

"I didn't really recover. The pain was still there. It just got bigger and spread beyond repair when my Jinx died," said Ryuga.

"And so you closed your heart," concluded Tazuka.

"My heart died the day she did."

"Did it?"

Ryuga didn't answer. He then heard Ai approaching and stood up.

"Ryuga-san!" the bespectacled girl waved. Ryuga waved back. His eyes darted to the spot where Tazuka sat and found him gone.

"EH!? You want to get married now?" Yuji gawked at the Princess of the Demon Kingdom.

"Well, of course. Why waste anymore time, darling?" said Rina sultrily. They were sitting on her bed and she looked dressed for bed. She was wearing a robe while he was in his t-shirt and jeans.

"Well, I mean I'm still a bit young, don't ya think?" Yuji asked.

"Not in my world. For warriors like yourself, you're already declared an adult and so fit to be married," Rina explained. "What's the matter, don't you wanna marry me…?" She traced circles on his chest and whispered huskily into his ear as she scooted in close, "And right now I'm wearing something really nice. I'd let you peek if you make me your wife."

Yuji's body heat rose up as he gulped with sweat running down his face. The look Rina was giving him was like the look a cat had when it had cornered its prey. She wasn't going to give him up while he wasn't sure if he wanted to get married yet. There were a lot of things to think about too. Sure, he loved her, but marriage just seemed like something to be had a few years ahead in the future. They were in their teens. They weren't ready for that kind of commitment. And what about children? He wasn't sure if he was ready to have kids yet. Then there was the fact that by marrying her, he would become the next in line for the throne of the Demon Kingdom, and he wasn't sure if he wanted to rule a kingdom. He was an adventurer and being stuck in one place just didn't seem right for him.

Of course, on the other hand, it was nice to be loved. He'd finally found his princess and had fought for her. First it was against the LLRB, and then that Terrence guy, not to mention those other suitors. There was no way he was going to give up this wonderful girl. She'd already taken his virginity and he did enjoy being with her. She was just so fun to be with and he couldn't imagine his life without her. He'd been lonely before he met her, even with Mage and Desperado for company. But, could he really get married right now and be her husband? A part of him wanted to say 'yes', but another part of him wondered if he was even good enough for her. He was still a kid and marriage just seemed like an adult thing.

He needed to make a decision. Rina was his princess and fiancée and he wanted her to be with him always. It was time to be a man and make his decision! It was time to do what he needed to do! Just like his grandpa!

"Rina, would you do me the honor of becoming my wife?" he asked. With a loud squeal she pushed him onto the bed and covered his face with kisses.

"Yes! Yes! A thousand times yes! Yes I'll marry you!" Rina answered enthusiastically as she began to untie the belt of her robe.

"Oh, that's great news!" said King Frederick as he burst into the room. He had a stethoscope and a huge grin on him.

Rina and Yuji froze at the man. The girl growled as her horns and tail came out. Her eyes blazed with the fires of hell.

"Pop, were you eavesdropping on us?" Rina asked as her killing intent flared from her body. She stomped over to her father who was frozen in terror with a look of horror on his face.

"WAIT! RINA HONEY! I WAS ONLY-!" King Frederick wailed.

BOOM!!! An explosion rocked the mansion.

Rina shut the door and made sure to lock it, ignoring her charred father who was lying in the doorway. She then put on a bright smile and said, "Now, where were we?"

Yuji wondered what sort of trouble he'd gotten himself into but that thought got pushed into the deepest depths of his mind when the robe slid of Rina's frame and pooled around her feet.

"Your lucky day, darling," she said sultrily as she approached him, swaying her hips.

Ryuushin grumbled after he heard the explosion. "How noisy." Siera was in his room with him. "So, you want me to marry you now too?"

"No, I'm going to wait until we're both ready," said Siera. "Let's just enjoy what we have now before we become husband and wife."

"Yeah, sounds good," Ryuushin said, smiling weakly.

"You seem troubled," said Siera.

"It's nothing you need to worry about."

"As your future wife I must share your problems."

Ryuushin looked her in the eye. She wasn't going to drop this.

"It's about that guy with the snake armor," Ryuushin told her. "There's something about him that bugs me. He knows about my past. He's gotta be someone I know."

"Another face from your past then," Siera reasoned.

"He's trying to ruin my happiness again, I'm sure of it," Ryuushin stated. "I'm not going to let that happen, Siera. I won't. I already lost one wife, I'm not about to lose another."

Siera took his hands and pressed them against her chest. "I know you won't because I have faith in you, Sir Ryuushin." She smiled softly, earning a smile from him as well.

"So, want to make out?" he asked.

"Must you ask, my Dark Knight?"

Tatsu's left eye twitched as his friends giggled about while waiting for the train. He was now a junior high school student along with Kokoro, Yuuka and Uzuki. His uniform was a black jacket that he left unbuttoned, revealing a blue t-shirt and matching black slacks. The girls wore sailor uniforms with black collars, red ties and black skirts that came down to their knees. They did look cute and as luck would have it they were in the same class together in Sakakino Junior High.

As the girls gossiped about, Tatsu just wished he could be someplace else. 'I need more male friends my age…' he thought depressingly.

Hikari just watched as her boyfriend ate her family's shop's famous lemon custard pies. She loved to watch him eat. In fact she'd made that pie especially for him. "So, any plans for Golden Week?" Hikari asked.

"Not really," shrugged Benitora. "I guess we can goof off and do our homework or something." He shrugged, "I don't care as long as it's with you, Hikari-chan,"

Hikari had been worried about Benitora. He hadn't joined the Riders in their fights and she hadn't asked since she wasn't sure how he'd react. She didn't want to depress him. Then she remembered him telling her that he would only fight to protect her. He wouldn't purposely go look for a fight. He was a pacifist by nature. Despite being an Arrancar he had a good heart even if he lacked a physical one. However, once he released his power his personality took a complete 180 turn and he became Rojotigre, the former 6th Espada. She just couldn't imagine him being so bloodthirsty, but she had seen him release his Zanpakutou, transforming himself into a battle hungry beast.

Despite his inhuman qualities, he was a complete gentleman. He loved her and to her that was all that mattered. She didn't care if he was an Arrancar. Benitora was Benitora.

"I just hope that Tatsu kid doesn't show up," muttered Benitora.

"Yeah, I mean what's his problem?" Hikari asked.

"He just wants to test his strength against a real Arrancar, but I always avoid him. It's just he always manages to find me," said Benitora.

"You're in the same class as his dad (Ryuji) and captain (Warren)," Hikari pointed out. "He must've tracked you through them."

"It's getting pretty annoying too, but he hasn't attacked me all month," said Benitora.

The door opened and Hikari rose up to welcome customers, "Welcome to our shop." She saw that it was Kokoro, Uzuki, Yuuki and…

"Oh no…" grimaced Benitora as he saw Tatsu. "Not you again!"

"You!" Tatsu drew his Shinai. "Fight me!"

"Tatsu-chan, no!" screamed Kokoro.

"BANZAI!!!"

In a 5-Star restaurant in the King's Terminal, Neko Tsukuba sat at a round table facing her husband. Kenzaki had tidied himself up nicely, wearing a suit and tie. As for Neko, she was wearing a tight blue Chinese dress with a golden dragon design on it. Her hair was done up into a pair of buns called 'ox horns'. She wore light makeup, though Kenzaki wouldn't have cared if she had worn any or not. She was just so beautiful.

"It's been a long time since we've gone out like this, hasn't it, Ken-kun?" Neko asked.

"Yeah," agreed Kenzaki.

"I mean we have been busy with school, taking care of the twins, fighting Sauron, and protecting the world," added Neko.

"Not to mention dealing with your sister," muttered Kenzaki.

Neko frowned at his statement, "Garoh-chan…be nice."

"I am being nice," he retorted. "There are a lot worse things I can say about her. I still don't feel all that comfortable about her watching Maya-chan and Gou-chan."

"You know she'll lay her life down to protect them," Neko reasoned.

"I know she would. She cares about them. I just think that she doesn't give a damn about me. The only reason she doesn't try to kill me is because that'll make you cry," Kenzaki replied. "I just hope she doesn't end up corrupting them," he added under his breath.

Neko placed a hand on his and said calmly, "Please, let's just enjoy the evening."

"Only for you, Nana-chan," said Kenzaki. "Waiter, we're ready to order!"

"Peek-a-boo! I see you!" Kat was playing Peek-a-Boo with Maya and Gou. She laughed as she watched the twins giggle in their high chairs. "Aw…I wish you were mine! I could just take you home with me!"

"That's called kidnapping, Kitty-Kat," responded Rose as she watched Kat. While Kat was watching the twins, Rose was watching Kat. At least Rose proved to be more stable.

"But Maya and Gou are so kawaii!!!" purred Kat. Rose rolled her eyes at her wife's antics. While Kat showed dislike and animosity towards Kenzaki, with some brief occasions of civility, Kat did care about her niece and nephew. They were her sister's kids and in a way her kids as well since she and Neko shared the exact same DNA. Aside from eye color, Neko and Kat were perfect genetic matches. Then again, they did share the same body for the first nineteen years of their lives.

"I got the baby food!" said Cathy as she held up two bowls of baby food with small spoons to feed the twins. Kat took one bowl and scooped out some of the baby food. She held it up to Maya's face.

"Here you go, Maya-chan! Open up!" Maya opened her mouth and Kat put the spoon in the girl's mouth. The baby licked her lips. Cathy did the same, but Gou proved to be more stubborn, purposely avoiding the spoon.

"Gou, please behave!" begged Cathy.

Rose got up from the couch and walked over and volunteered, "Let me." Cathy nodded and gave Rose the bowl and spoon. Rose looked at Gou and the baby boy looked back at her. "Eat," she ordered and the baby accepted the food.

"How do you do that, Mom?" asked Cathy.

"Rosie-chan has the power of 'The Stare'," said Kat in a creepy voice. Rose and Slade had the same cold stare that could make anyone cower under their gaze.

Rose gave a snort and said, "I have a way with kids, OK? I did have to put up with Grant."

"Good point," agreed Kat. "So, what do you guys want to do for Golden Week? Go to the amusement park? Hang out at the pool? Watch movies until late at night and eat tons of junk food till we get sick?"

"I guess we could do all that," shrugged Rose as she fed Gou.

"Sweet! We'll watch all the Jason and Freddy Krueger movies. Let's make it a marathon!" Kat cheered.

"Those movies scare me!!!" whimpered Cathy.

"Relax. It's just make-believe."

"In this world, but in another world that's all real," Rose remarked.

Kat nodded but then let out a laugh. "Oh, come on! Let's just watch the movie and ignore-"

She suddenly froze as her eyes glazed over.

"Kitty-Kat?"

"Mama?"

Kat's body slowly began to hover in mid-air, her head nearly touching the ceiling. "In 7 days the world will end…" she said ominously.

The same thing was happening to Neko as well. She was hovering in mid-air with a glazed look in her eyes. "Nana-chan!"

"The world will end in 7 days…" she spoke before she fell unconscious. Kenzaki caught her before she hit the ground.

"What the hell?"

Warren was looking at both Neko and Kat who were lying in beds in the GaroLiner's infirmary. Kenzaki had called him to help figure out what was going on. They even picked Rose and Kat up since the same thing had happened to Kat. While Kenzaki didn't care about Kat all that much, if what was happening to Neko was connected to what happened to Kat then he wanted to know what was happening.

"So, can you tell me what the hell happened?" Kenzaki asked Warren.

"Kat just looked possessed for a few seconds and said some weird stuff," added Rose. "What's going on?"

"Let me check," said Warren. He waved a hand over Kat and then waved his hand over Neko. "Hm?"

"So, what's the diagnosis?" Kenzaki asked.

"There seems to be some sort of dark string connecting the two girls, and to something else," said Warren grimly.

"Please don't me it's who I think it is," pleaded Rose.

"It's Sauron." Warren asked, "Can you tell me what they said that was so weird?" Kenzaki and Rose told him causing Warren to look worried as he gazed out the window. "In 7 days, huh? Then the end of the world will begin tomorrow…"

"What?" Kenzaki gawked.

"The end of the world?" Rose asked.

"And if I know Sauron, it's not just this world, but every other world in the Multiverse. Call the others. We're going to have a meeting. Sauron's declaring war."

During the first day of Golden Week, people were out just enjoying the holiday. With nothing to do they just decided to do whatever they did to keep themselves entertained, either solo or with friends. However, when a huge object suddenly blocked the sun and began to cast everything in darkness, people naturally looked up. They at first assumed it was only an unscheduled solar eclipse before they finally got a good look as to what was actually blocking the sun.

It was a massive black battleship but the word 'colossal' would be more appropriate in this case. The weaponry it had would put any military force to shame. It was made of pitch black metal and the bow was decorated with a demonic skull with crimson eyes and ram-like horns. It was armed to the teeth with cannons of various sizes and set on top of the battleship was Sauron's castle. Sauron's castle, up close, looked like a huge skull with towers jutting from it that looked like horns. The towers were arranged to look like a crown for the skull-like palace.

The colossal battleship hovered over Sakakino City ominously. People who were out that day wondered just what was going on as they murmured amongst themselves. Suddenly a huge black tower, an obelisk, sprouted out from the ground. This wasn't just happening in Sakakino City. All over the world, in each major city, these black towers sprouted out of the ground like weeds. Then, images of Sauron were projected from these towers. Not only that, but Sauron's image was also being displayed onto every television screen on the planet.

"In the Bible, it is said that God created the world in 7 days, thus it is only fitting that a god like myself destroys your world within 7 days. Say your prayers, people, because this is going to be the last week of your pathetic lives," Sauron announced. Once she finished her speech she just waited for the chaos to begin. She asked, "So, how was I?"

Holding up a camera was none other than Rosalinda. She gave her beloved a thumbs up.

"Excellent…"

Kamen Rider Chrome: Looks like Sauron is bringing in the big guns. Damn, she's really intent on ruining the Riders' Golden Week vacation. This is not good, is it? It's time for war.
