C.W.S.!
Cross World Scramble! A tournament to decide the fate of five different, yet equally similar planets. With decisions pre-made for contestants, the fifth planets heroes rely on a sudden entrance from the fourth planet.
Kamen Rider Build!
Violet jumps up and down in place, stretching her joints. The images of the four planets in different colors, Blue, Purple, Yellow, Red, and Green moves over her as she switches in and out of her hunter costume. It finally stops with her civilian clothes as she runs forward.
Your movie, your story line
All decided before the curtain rises.
How does it feel to be ingrained
To a fate so certain?
Running past Ruby, Yu, Hyde, and lastly Ragna, she crosses by Emu who runs past her the opposite direction. Mystery, Yosuke, Gordeau, and Es all catch up to Violet who suddenly stops, newspaper clippings surrounding them.
How can you change a thing if your life
Has been written into stone?
Your life's written into progress
By another, can you make it your own?
The clippings swirl into a hurricane around the group as it catches on fire. The clippings slowly change into stone, slamming down and trapping the five. Ruby, Yu, Hyde, and Ragna appear before them, opened like books, with shadowy hands writing into them. VIolet frowns as the walls break down around them.
(Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?
Your life put out; written by someone for you.
Whatcha gonna do? Whatcha gonna do?
Would you stand up and fight through?)
It quickly changes to Eiji putting on a poncho, to Gentaro adjusting his tie, and Ranje putting on a hoodie, ending with Kouta breaking through the ground with a zipper. They circle Violet, with Emu joining in, as they all change into their rider forms. They all strike their familiar poses, as the four before them glow pink, as do their eyes.
You are looking without seeing.
It's not like you're blind,
The phantom had it clear, yeah.
From what you could find,
Just hiding in plain sight,
You're already always free.
The two groups charge at each other as Fourze throws a rocketed punch, Ragna dodges and strikes as his sword changes to its scythe mode, which is met by OOO's claws. Ruby strikes with a kick, met by Ghost's hand, Gaim going for a slash, being blocked by Yu and Izanagi. Build kicks away Hyde, as two new figures enter the fray: Bi-Kaiser and Kamen Rider Core!
Now you're looking and you're seeing.
Your every choice is fine.
No doubting it, you're free now.
And the story line is yours for the making.
The road less taken,
Could be where we're meant to be.
As the four non-riders stop glowing and face the two new foes. Build leads the charge as everybody goes in for the attack. Bi-Kaiser and Core fuse into the Cross System Crystal, as the heroes jump high into the sky. Build changes into Sparkling, as she is followed by Muteki, Mugen, Kiwami, Cosmic, and Tajador giving one last Rider Kick to the foe.
"Ms. Rabbytan, it seems our world is in danger. Would you like to listen?"
It was a simple question, which got a simple answer. Violet didn't know what to expect from danger, but what she got was far different from what most people would assume.
"Let me introduce myself first. My name is Igor, caretaker of the Velvet Room. This place exists between dream and reality, mind and matter. Normally a guest would sit where you are, and the room would change based on the status of their heart. This is the appearance it would take if you were a guest, but your journey is far disconnected from the usuals. I am getting off track though…" The long nosed man, Igor, chuckled as he placed an odd looking scroll on the table. It was blue and gold on the handles, and had an embroidered V on the bottom.
Tapping once on the screen, Violet saw a planet unlike any seen before. It looked stitched together, the spherical shape more bumped and uneven, with Beacon very noticeable on one spot of it, standing tall next to a tower of red crystal. "Your world, and four others, have been split apart, to create this one you see before you created from their pieces, and the original Velvet Room as well. Not only that, but people from all five worlds have disappeared, all now populating this Cross Planet as we have been calling it."
Igor stopped speaking as the girl in the orange hoodie walked up the image, turning it to find a large city with a beautiful river flowing through it, next to it a large tower of purple crystal. "These towers sprouted up against significant landmarks, each resonating with smaller handheld crystals that are the cause for these mass transportations. Oh, I'm Lynne by the way."
The girl with the cat umbrella stood up, and tapped the globe, showing a long line of people's faces scrolling past, including a familiar team of girls. As it kept scrolling, the girl spoke up. "You may refer to me as Rachel Alucard, but Rachel will do just fine. These people have been confirmed to walk alongside these larger crystals, and other areas almost like zombies. If another person is to approach…" The screen changed again to show a familiar redhead and blonde brawler fighting off a man with a purple scythe and a teen with two kunai in hand, "They are attacked with no warning. Including past versions of myself and Lynne here."
"Past versions?" Was all Violet could ask here.
"The Velvet Room exists outside of the normal time stream, it is how we were able to grab you before you were captured by whatever force has captured the people of the worlds." Igor explained, taking the scroll off of the table.
"I'm not sure where I fit into this."
Ozpin stood, his can staying firmly on the ground as he looked at his student. "The fifth world to have been captured… Was a world of Kamen Riders."
Violet's eyes widened. She was thought to be the last Rider, until Yang became Cross-Z at least. Yet an entire planet with its own riders? Its own monsters and villains and heroes. "T-that doesn't explain why you pulled me out though. I'm just one rider, what can I do?"
"Ms. Rabbytan, no, Violet. You have a unique feature that the other riders currently captured do not." Ozpin spoke, pulling out a small object from behind him. An empty fullbottle. "The ability to absorb the essence of whatever is controlling them, and subdue it. It is for this reason we need your help. People are coming close to dying, and none of us want any casualties."
"Our futures aren't written for sure. We only know this event even happened, because Igor told us." Rachel added in, sitting back down, sipping tea that she seemingly got from nowhere. "I'm sorry to have dragged you into this, but we simply had no other choice."
Violet looked at the empty bottle for a moment. She took it from Ozpin slowly, nodding her head, looking at Igor firmly. "I can't let people get hurt from this. I'll stop this chaos, and as a bonus find out why it happened."
Igor smiled wide, the lights in the Velvet Room seemingly fading away, as well as the other inhabitants. "Thank you for your answer. Now with that out of the way, you can visit us whenever you like while you are on this world. And good luck my child, you will need it."
And with that Igor, and the room disappeared, leaving Violet alone. In the sky. With miles between her and the ground. Like a cartoon, as soon as she looked down, she began to fall.
Yosuke Hanamura was not having a good week. First he flunked a science exam he had been studying non-stop for, then he got a punch to the gut because that stupid bear couldn't handle a small pay cut for knocking a display stand over once, and now he's stuck on a planet he barely recognizes, with pieces of the midnight channel sticking out some places, a giant yellow crystal by his school, his partner not recognizing him and now he's had to run alongside some dude with a giant scythe from a girl with ANOTHER giant scythe and a girl with literal shotgun fists.
So suffice to say, it has not been fun.
"I would honestly rather be in hell right now man…" He whined, the man with a scythe giving him a sigh. He pulled out a phone and typed into it, putting it back inside of his trench coat. "Let Mystery know we managed to scope out the Red Crystal situation. We might hit that one first since it only has four kids guarding it."
Yosuke gave the man a 'Are you kidding me face', before speaking in protest. "No way! I'd rather deal the Green Crystal than have to face shotgun gal again! It's like Chie but with fists! Gordeau you can't be serious!" The boy pleaded with the man, but the scythe wielder just gave him a huff.
"You and I both know that only those with Rider elements can fight Riders, and none of us are riders, are we?"
Yosuke was about to protest again, throwing out his hands, which is when a small blue bottle with the image of a diamond upon it fell into his hands. The two looking at the bottle, they looked up to see a figure in orange and grey armor floating down towards them on wings of metal.
Yosuke's jaw dropped, and Gordeau went stiff as the figure landed on the ground of the alleyway they had stationed themselves in. The two allies stared at the sudden arrival, unsure of ally or foe. As Build looked at them, she looked to her opposite side to see her two sisters with an odd pink glow about them. "Ruby? Yang? What are you two doing he- WOAH!" The heroine was cut off by a sudden blast from Crescent Rose aimed straight at her chest. Taking the hit with little damage, she blew herself back closer to the two guys.
"DID SHE JUST TANK THAT BULLET?!" Yosuke shouted, looking at the armored girl, speaking of which was looking at the bottle in his hands. She quickly grabbed it and began to shake it, pulling out a brown bottle as well. "Actually my tank form is different. You could say I gunned that bullet. But first, let's see of I can knock some sense into my sister's…" She took out the HawkGattling bottles and placed the new ones in.
"GORILLA! DIAMOND! BEST MATCH!"
Spinning her crank quickly, the pipes of liquid formed around Build as they began to steam.
"ARE YOU READY?"
"Build up!" The pipes as usual slammed down around her, but her appearance was quite different from normal. As the diamond studded side was normal, her brown gorilla was bulkier than most of her Half Bodies. But the largest difference was the giant mecha like hand that had formed around her hand. Opening and clenching the giant fist, she folded it out in the familiar pointing pose she usually did.
"THE SHINING JUNGLE DESTROYER! GORILLAMOND! YEAH~!"
"Let's start the experiment!" She ran in, blocking more bullet fire with her diamond shielded hand, getting close enough to Yang that she managed to blow back the blonde bruiser quite a distance. Ruby followed her other sister, Build following in after the two. As Yosuke and Gordeau watched the ensuing fight, the man in purple gained a smirk. "I don't like that look! Teddie gets that look whenever he's about to do something bad!" Yosuke shouted.
"Relax kid, I just found us our Rider element…"
On the top of a tower, unseen from most eyes, two shadowy figures watch over a large crystal, showing Build battle off her sisters.
"It seems our tournament has an unexpected and unwelcomed guest… Send in the Doctor, he'll wipe the floor with her." One of the figures spoke, the second one placing a green and pink crystal on top of the large one, the smaller one seemingly melting into it.
Build blocked a punch from Yang, sending one herself launching her sister into a wall. Just as Ruby was going for another strike, she stopped as the sound of a motorcycle entered the area. Gordeau and Yosuke finally ran after Build when they saw the outline of a yellow bike with a pink mohawk.
"Oh no, the game one left his area. Armored person! You gotta get out of here!" Gordeau shouted out to Build, who merely looked at the man, and then her retreating sisters. Finally her eyes landed upon the rider of the yellow bike. Dressed in some pixel design shirt, and a doctor's coat, the same pink aura poured off of him as he stepped off the bike.
Just as Violet was about to approach the man, a large screen appeared before her. Upon the screen a girl with poofy purple hair, freckles and gear like armor stood center stage. Yet the strangest thing was that her eyes were just like Violet's. Red and Blue.
"Welcome strange visitor to my planet! This is Fighton, a world constructed by my design, for great fighters to battle for the right to leave in my Cross World Scramble! You may call me Bi-Kaiser!"
"FUNKY!" The sudden voice just shouted out of nowhere in the video presented before her. "The guy manning my camera is Core, and if you survive this, you might just see him!"
"Survive?"
"Oh yes, you see unregistered fighters aren't allowed to fight those who are registered, and must sadly be exterminated. But, if you can beat my exterminator here, then you can live! Sound fun!?"
"Uhhh, no?"
"Oh I knew you would agree it sounds like fun! Well, enjoy the fight while you can! Ex-Aid, eliminate the pest!" Bi-Kaiser pointed at Violet, the screen popping out of existence. Build's attention turned back to the young man before her. Slamming a very neon pink and green belt on, the man pulled out a pink cartridge. Pressing down a button, the cartridge emitted a pink light from within itself.
"MIGHTY ACTION X!"
Slamming the device into the belt, the man turned a lever running through a virtual window before him. He became encased in a bright pink suit with game buttons on his chest and a health meter. Hair like spikes protruded from his helmet as he ran towards Build.
"LEVEL UP! MIGHTY JUMP! MIGHTY KICK! MIGHTY MIGHTY ACTION, X!"
Pulling out a sword with similar style to his hair, the now transformed Ex-Aid swung at Build, who in response blocked with her diamond arm. Ex-Aid using the block as a distraction, jumped up slightly, raising both his legs to kick Build away. The mixmatch rider stepped back a bit, with Ex-Aid going for another swing. "Alright, let's change tactics." Build spoke to herself, pulling out familiar match. Taking her current set out, she shook the new ones, and slammed them in. Rolling out of the way of another sword strike, she placed her diamond hand on the ground, and used her gorilla hand to spin the handle. "Build Up!"
"ARE YOU READY? RABBITTANK! YEAH!"
Pipes changing her to her base form, a green aura slightly began to shine around her. Yosuke and Gordeau looked in awe as she stood back up, Drill Crusher now in hand. Ex-Aid ran in for another swing, being met with Build's own sword. "Pretty interesting name you have, Ex-Aid. You know, we had an Ex-Aid on my world too…" She met Ex-Aid's weapon with her own again, this time locking both of them in a power struggle as one tried to shove the other's sword away.
"Extreme Aid, shortened down to one word. Was a legendary medic for in the Great War, saved many lives. I think it's time I bring back the doctor I caught a glimpse of from that coat!"
Build finally gained the upper hand as she swung Ex-Aid's sword away, and kicked the man back from her. Stumbling back, Ex-Aid took out his cartridge and slammed it into a slot on his side.
"KIMEWAZA!"
Energy began to pour into Ex-Aid's foot as he stood ready to jump. Build pulled out an empty bottle and slammed it into the Drill Crusher. She placed the handle in both of her hands as she posed for her strike.
"READY GO!"
The sword began to glow a clean grey as it clashed against the neon energy colors. At the same moment, Ex-Aid pressed a button and jumped high into the sky, launching forward to kick, as Build pulled the sword trigger, slashing downwards meeting her blade with Ex-Aids foot.
"MIGHTY CRITICAL STRIKE! / VOLTECH BREAK!"
The two riders struggled against eachother. Ex-Aid looming closer and closer to Build, and in a swap Build's blade pushing the game rider back. It all came to a head, when Build using what strength she could pushed back the other rider fully, and then met him with another strike, the pink aura sweeping itself into the empty bottle. As Ex-Aid flew back, he exited his armor, his body slamming against the concrete ground.
The once empty bottle ejected itself from the Drill Crusher, now showing an image of Ex-Aid on it's top. Build put the bottle away, as she rushed over to the now unconscious man. Yosuke and Gordeau followed suit, helping to raise him up. Taking her full bottles out, Build turned back into Violet, surprising Yosuke.
"Dude! You're a chick?!" He shouted in surprise, Gordeau shoving his elbow into the boy's side. "Not the time kid! Rider, what did you do to him?"
"I think I took out whatever was controlling him. The rest is an after effect of our fight. Is there a hospital nearby? We should take him there…" Violet responded picking the man up in a bridal carry, pulling the Ride Builder out and letting it hover before her. Gordeau shook his head. "Nearest hospital is too close to the red crystal, we'll get attacked for sure. Follow me and the kid on the rider's bike. We'll take you to our base, where we should have medical supplies there." Violet nodded in agreement, stepping onto her board, as the other two hopped on the bike, Yosuke clinging to dear life as the small group rode off.
As the group revved into the garage of a large repair shop, one Violet swears she sees in Vale all the time, they find two other people sitting at a fold out table. Off near the corner Violet spots a bed, walking over to place Ex-Aid down. As she does so, the two guys meet up with the other two. Both girls, one wore a blue dress matching her eyes and blonde hair, while the other had brown and pink eyes and an outfit that made her seem like she was from some sort of ice cream commercial.
Writing on a sketch pad, the girl with ice cream clothes quickly spun it around to show the others. "Who's the girl?" It read, Yosuke about to go on another freak out, when Gordeau intercepted him. "An ally. She also just happens to be a rider, it's how she took down the gamer, of that answers your question Mystery."
The ice cream girl looked surprised when she turned around to look at Violet. She was wrapping bandages around said doctor, when the other girl spoke up. "Is she beneficial to our plans?" Gordeau nodded in response, Violet finishing her wrapping as she walked over to the group. "I guess introductions are in order. My name is Violet, also known as Kamen Rider Build."
"Names Gordeau, I'm from the purple Earth." The man with the scythe responded.
"I am regarded as Es, blue Earth."
"I'm Yosuke Hanamura, second in command the great Investigation Team, wielder of Jiraiya, an-" Yoskue was slapped on the head by Gordeau, "Yellow Earth. Oh and this is who we call Mystery!" The teen pointed to the ice cream girl. "She won't tell us her real name, says it's a big secret. She's from Remnant, er, the red planet I mean."
"Oh we have something in common then!" Violet spoke, stretching out her hand, the rest of the group's eyes widening. "Did I say something wrong?" Violet retracted her hand. Mystery wrote on her sketch pad. "But you're a rider?"
"Yeah, don't you remember the fighters from the Great War? I'm named after them." She explained, Mystery writing down again. "So do you know who I am?"
"No…? Should I?" Mystery breathed out a sigh of relief, shaking her head no. "Cool, so uh, how are you four not zombie like?"
The four looked at each other awkwardly, before Yosuke spoke up. "We… We were called not 'cool' enough by Bi-Kaiser, so she didn't want us in the tournament. We were originally under her control, but when she kicked us to the side we woke up and saw our friends in the state they were in. Already in a group together, we decided to officially group up and try to free them."
Violet nodded in understanding, pulling out another Empty bottle. "Well lucky for you I just happen to have an absorber for mysterious substances! With these, I'm sure I can free everyone!"
"You'll have to weaken them up first…" A new voice spoke from behind them. Turning to the source, they saw a now awake Ex-Aid sitting on the bed. "Woah, you took some serious damage in our fight, you shouldn't be up." Violet rushed to his side, the man putting a hand on her shoulder, giving a smile. "I'm a doctor, I think I know what I can and can't do. As I was saying, you'll need to weaken your foes up first before you do what you did to save me. That's how us riders work after all."
"Yeah, I remember my fights." Violet responded, helping the doctor to stand up. Bringing him over to the table, Violet saw a map of Fighton spread out, with the crystals spread out in images before it. "So, to save the worlds all that needs to be done is fight and win, right? I think I could manage that… With some help." The five other looked at Violet, the girl smiling wide. "What do you all say, wanna help me out?"
Looking at each other, they looked back at Violet and nodded. Ex-Aid stretched out his hand for a handshake, giving another smile. "My name is Emu Hojo, Kamen Rider Ex-Aid. It's nice to meet you Build." Violet grabbed his hand and shook it, giving off grin of her own. "The pleasure's mine, Ex-Aid."
Bi-Kaiser threw a boulder across the room. "ARRRRRGGGHHH! SHE TOOK MY GAMES AWAY! HOW?! HOW DID SHE DO IT?!" She screamed in anger, running over to the same boulder, shattering it in one kick. She ran around the room in fury as the other shadowy figure, Core, who has remained unseen looked at the large crystal before them.
"Perhaps, it would be better, if we sent the astronaut after her next? Or perhaps the samurai?"
Bi-Kaiser stopped in her tracks, gaining a large evil smile. "No, better yet… Let's send both! We'll kick her once and then a second time!"
"Perfect! Let's set the pieces…" Core placed both an orange and a white crystal into the larger one, the image of a yellow crystal on screen.
OMAKE:
"So wait, there were a whole bunch of riders during a war on your planet? How long ago was this?" Emu asked.
"About a hundred years or so."
"Are there anymore of you nowadays?"
"Just my sister Yang."
"Oh, what's she like?" Yosuke asked.
"You saw her actually! She was the blonde girl."
"YOUR SISTER IS A BRUTAL MONSTER!"
Welcome to the Cross World Scramble Arc! Sorry it took so long, some other things got in the way. Finals, ideas for other things I can make… Smash Bros… But I got here in the end! It's another pretty short one this time, but it's just to set up the beginning of the arc, so expect longer chapters hopefully in the future! If you can't tell, this is a sort of mix between BlazBlue Cross Tag Battle and Heisei Generations Final, but there will be a small surprise in the arcs final fight that I hope all of you will enjoy.
After all, it's Heisei's 20th and also soon to be R.T.'s 16th, I'm sure a party is soon in order. - Jackie
