A/N: Guess who's back with another update to the story? Me! I know it has been a while but work has been killing me… don't get me started on the constant crap I had to deal with several times. I nearly had the urge to scream a few times from the constant stress and I just wish I could relax but nope! Have to work almost EVERY day! For nearly 13 hours (the total amount of hours from both jobs) a day! Ugh…

However, I try to use whatever time I have to work on these stories whenever I return from my jobs. That and playing Final Fantasy XIV nonstop to ease my mind by grinding EXP (I am aiming for Gunbreaker!). Thank you to one of my friends for introducing me to the game!

Now, enough with the chit chat, let us continue with part 2 of the Arrival/Build arc!

'Thought'

"Another Rider"

RIDEWATCH


"According to this book, high school graduate Enrique Alderete started his journey to become the King of Time, Oma Zi-O," Woz stated, opening the book in his hand. "The world he was brought to, Orbis, is where he was given power and became Kamen Rider Zi-O. Using that power he fought the Another Rider based on Kamen Rider Build after his encounter with the newly chosen Heir of Reingar, Yuna Woo."

"However, just as Enrique defeated the Another Rider, a Kamen Rider from the future named Kamen Rider Geiz appeared to fight Enrique." The prophet studied the page in his hand, the book itself displaying a visual of the encounter. The red Time Rider attempting to attack Zi-O while using a Ridewatch of Ghost in order to eliminate him.

"As the fight continued, they are suddenly stopped by the student council of Reingar leading to their arrest." Woz continued. "But, the problem with Another Build is far from over. Soon after, the monster revived from death and began to cause even more chaos in Reingar."

His eyes briefly scan the page displaying the growing conflict of Another Build.

"With the ongoing conflict ensuing, my demon king will obtain the power of Kamen Rider Build." The prophet closed the book, glancing at the statues of the Kamen Riders. "Looks like I've read too much. Let's see how it goes, shall we?"


The Heir of Kamen Riders


Chapter 2: The Best Match; Trust or Deceit?

(Unknown, Year Unknown)

After the scuffle earlier, things were not looking well for the graduate. From ending up in another world to meeting a girl who had the same problem. Then having to be chased by supposed security who are mostly teenagers. Now, let's not forget how he had to deal with a monster by transforming into a Kamen Rider. All of it was hard to take in but this was all real and not a dream.

And now? Well, he was in a bind after his encounter with Geiz. That was until the people from before arrested them for 'trespassing' and kidnapping the 'Heir'.

"Oof!" Enrique grunted after landing in a cell. The metal bars close behind him as Enrique stood up and looked at the 'students'. "Hey let me out! Don't I have rights?!"

"You trespassed into this academy without any official documents for entry. We just need to locate that robed man with the book."

"I don't even know that guy in the first place! And where is my friend Yuna?!"

"She is safe with us." The woman answered. "She has a duty she is chosen to do as the Heir unlike you, intruder."

"Heir?" The graduate repeated in confusion. It sounded similar to what the odd man labeled him as.

"You will be remaining here until we can give you the proper punishment for your crimes." The girl replied and walked away from his cell.

The graduate swore he heard her happily ponder about him doing 500 pages. Enrique slumped and said, "What am I going to do now…"

"Oma Zi-O." Enrique saw the young man from before in a cell across from him, leaning against the metal bars. The mysterious young man had his arms crossed, his head craned down a bit but enough to see his eyes glaring at him.

"You too huh?"

"Save it." The fellow raven-haired man hissed. "At least they took your belt. Good riddance."

"Hey, if you didn't attack me then this wouldn't have happened in the first place! They took your belt too!"

"I still would have beaten them if they didn't overwhelm me."

"You got your ass kicked by three girls, two using magic straight from a storybook!"

"I don't care what they use. If they attack me, I'll fight back." The man huffed. "That's all there is to it."

"Don't you realize you could get hurt?" The graduate argued. "They could kill you."

Geiz frowned and said, "The only thing I am trying to do is to prevent a future disaster."

"What disaster?" Enrique repeated in confusion.

"Nothing for you to know," Geiz answered irritably. The young man craned his head down, sitting against the wall of the cell.

A long awkward silence was present in the dungeon. The graduate pursed his lips before raising his head to the mysterious red rider.

"So um… do you have a name?" Enrique asked the red rider in curiosity. The mysterious Rider glanced at Enrique to the question. The future resistance soldier didn't expect the graduate to ask his name. He wouldn't show it but he was a little surprised by the request.

"...Geiz is all you need to know." The tactically clothed Rider stated. "Remember that, Zi-O."

"Still gonna call me that?" Enrique inquired.

"It is who you are."

With those words, Geiz allowed himself to rest for the time being. As well as finding a way to get back his gear and Time Mazine.


Upon the arrest of the two trespassers, the student council alongside the Public Security Club gathered regarding the incident that occurred. They surrounded the table, their eyes observing the strange trinkets.

"This is the belt the two criminals used?" Karin observed the belts. "The technology in this is above the ones across Reingar…"

The design of the devices was much different than any they are familiar with. The buckles looked like accessories yet act as transformation equipment.

"And what is with these?" Carrot picked up a Ridewatch. "Odd numbers on these watches...2018, 2015, 2068. These numbers aren't aligned with the current time of a clock."

Carrot should know due to having a pocket watch. The objects were shaped as one but the numbers weren't like an average clock and having an image embedded inside. Then, there was the sliver of power inside the watches. Everyone who used magic can sense it. Just a sliver of power, barely noticeable.

"What else do we know of the incident?"

"Aside from the demise of the monster, the two were able to transform with the use of these belts," Judith recalled from eyewitness reports.

"Quite peculiar yet interesting for these buckles to create belt straps and armor," Hazel admitted, her curiosity piqued as were the others. If it was capable of granting armor to the two, then it would be possible for others to use it.

"Why don't you try the belt?"

"Let's give it a shot." Twisting the odd Ridewatch, the second lieutenant began to activate it.

ZI-O

Karin blinked at the sudden announcement. "Huh...didn't expect that."

"That watch made odd sounds. I tried twisting the orange one and it announced Ghost. What's with that?"

The lieutenant shrugged and said. "Who knows...what's next?" Karin pondered on what to do. Looking down at the buckle, she placed the object onto the right mechanism, locking it in place. "So I have to spin this belt, right?" The young lieutenant recalled the reports from witnesses. They nodded.

Once she spun the belt, Karin noticed the odd armor form around her until she got hit by the odd symbols directly at the head, sending her into the ground.

"Karin! Are you alright?" Judith exclaimed.

"I'm alright..." Karin stood up albeit wobbly from what happened. "I thought it worked as those criminals did…"

"Let me try. Maybe it's with the other watch."

GEIZ

Judith set the Ridewatch on the right side of the other belt before setting it on her waist. Once she spun the buckle, the armor formed around her, only to get hit by the letters, sending her flying to the wall. "Ow… that hurt…" the brunette groaned.

Hazel helped the fellow student stand as the others reacted differently to what occurred by the belts. "How is this possible? It worked for those trespassers." Carrot asked in disbelief.

"That is mysterious," Hazel observed curiously. She carefully picked up the Zi-O Ridewatch. "Maybe the Magic Research can look into the reason behind these inventions. Can you and the others do that, Carrot?"

"Of course." Carrot accepted. "We'll keep it safe until we figure out what's going on-"

"We got trouble!" They turned to the door to see a student running to them in panic. "That monster the criminal destroyed...i-it's back!"

"HUH?!" The Student Council and Security Club exclaimed in shock. "H-How?! We saw its ashes from that fight!"

"I-I don't know! We need help now and it kept attacking the other students!"

"O-Okay!" Wielding her weapon, Karin stood up. "We need to stop that monster again before it causes any more damage!"

"Right!" The students of the Public Security Club immediately left the room to stop the monster that returned from the dead.

Arriving in the location of the monster's presence, the armed students noticed the monster. Again, it was holding a student hostage but observing their features. Almost as if it was studying the specimen like a mad scientist.

"Release him this instant by order of the Public Security!" Karin commanded.

The red and blue monster looked at the group before it growled in annoyance. Already deeming the civilian incompatible, it decided to release him and focus on the group. They looked to be possible keys for the Best Match.

Another Build flexed its claws and threw a few fireballs at them. The PSC evaded but carefully due to the small blasts from impact. The mages had to cast barrier magic to protect their comrades but Another Build wasn't deterred by it nor did it lose its focus.

Rikoris and Azalea dashed towards the red and blue monster with their spears. Just as they were in arms reach, Another Build angrily grabbed their weapons before they could hit it.

With the opportunity, Judith jumped and slammed her leg to its temple. She exerted pressure on the hit to provide extra momentum to shove it away from her fellow comrades of the PSC.

Another Build grunted, clutching its aching head. The girl delivered a good kick.

"Now!"

Karin unsheathed her sword and sped to the monster. "Beginning… sweep!" She struck the monster from all directions, the energy building up for detonation. The attacks were cutting the monster before she came to a halt, the blade sheathed.

The energy detonated, causing Another Build to explode in a ball of flames.

"That should take care of that fiend!" Karin said with pride over the connected attack.

Judith nodded in agreement but from the corner of her eyes, she saw a hand. "G-Guys!" She pointed at the alley. They saw a red claw pull itself from the alley, revealing the monster much to their disbelief. The same exact monster from before.

"It came back again?!"

"Keep attacking! It'll stop sooner or later!"

Witnessing the ongoing battle against the monster, the brunette knew this was going out of control. Already Karin was getting frustrated by the monster's repeated revival. Seeing Karin frustrated isn't a good sign to some people who knew her very well.

Heading back to the meeting room in a hurry, Judith picked up the odd Drivers and trinkets. She knew that only the two known criminals can use them and their presence was connected to the sudden appearance of that monster.

She may be breaking rules for this...but desperate times call for desperate measures.


It had been several hours since he ended up in the cell. The quiet drops of water echoing in the chambers as Enrique stared at the ceiling. Geiz was idly kept his head down, taking a small nap.

He felt very bored being here and it was starting to bother him. "How am I going to find my way back…?" Enrique murmured.

With his sudden appearance in the world he found himself in, it was troubling to find out how to go back. Question is, how long will he be stuck here? He was stuck in a cell after the incident.

Then, Enrique heard footsteps, allowing him to lift his head to notice the familiar dark-haired brunette from before.

"You...aren't you one of the student council members?" Enrique recognized.

"Public Security Club actually. But that isn't the point right now. That monster you killed has appeared again."

"What?!" Enrique stood up from the floor while Geiz moved away from the wall. "How?!"

"I don't know but when Karin attempted to slay it… it came back again."

"That is an Another Rider," Geiz stated, the two looking at him. "Basically, a monstrous version of the Kamen Riders."

"How do we defeat that monster?"

"You will need the power of a Rider to destroy it. Problem is, we are here and that kaijin is up in the academy grounds in case you haven't noticed."

"Hey, I followed my duty for the Security Club." Judith defended.

"Yeah, duty. You never knew about Kamen Riders and their actions."

Judith rolled her eyes before reaching inside her satchel. Fumbling inside, she found what she was looking for

"Here." Judith presented the belts and the Ridewatches. Geiz and Enrique looked surprised to see their belongings in her hands.

"How did you…?"

"I took it away when Karin and the others were busy fighting that monster."

"In other words, steal it."

Judith chuckled nervously and said, "It's kind of a long story to that but let's not talk about that."

"I'll take your word for it." Enrique nodded.

"You two are the only ones with a chance to beat that monster permanently, so I'm entrusting this to you.. it is my job as a member of the Public Security Club to ensure the safety of everyone in Reingar. If you two are the only ones able to beat it, then we gotta give it a shot."

The otherworlder lowered his head for a moment, reminded of the power he used. He took a deep breath and raised his head. "Okay. But uh…" he pointed at the cell he was in. "Can you let me out?"

"Oh right." Judith grabbed the keys and insert it into the keyhole. Twisting it, the bars were unlocked and opened it for him. Judith jogged to Geiz's cell and released him to give him his gear.

Geiz stared at the young man with a small glare.

"I don't know why you want to kill me Geiz but at least help me out on this?" Enrique extended his hand to the future rider. "You do want to destroy that Another Rider, right? We have the same goal."

Geiz stared stoically at him before he shoved Enrique's hand. "Only to fight them is what matters right now, Oma Zi-O. Remember, when you turn evil I will kill you."

The graduate sighed. "Works for me, I guess. Ready, Geiz?" Enrique asked the man as he sets the belt in front of his waist.

"I'll work with you if it means to defeat that Another Rider," Geiz stated, setting his own belt as well. "Let's go."


The entire area was already a battleground of chaos as the locals were already evacuated from the premises. The Public Security Club had to take hold of the situation caused by the Another Rider. It had been destroying everything and its chants of a 'Best Match' still echoed the district.

Karin jumped back, avoiding the claws of Another Build. She held her sheathed sword tightly, keeping her stance against the best.

"Thief-class… not the Best Match with Knight!"

"Thief-class?" She repeated. What was its goal? From its chants, it sounded like the monster needed the other half for whatever it had in its possession. It labeled her as 'Thief-class'. She was no thief! She was a member of the Public Security Club!

Rikoris made an attempt to stop the monster but the beast blocked it with its forearm. The Another Rider shoved Rikoris' spear and grabbed the young man by the neck. It studied him for a moment and its shielded eyes revealed themselves. A worthy half for the possible combination. It presented a demonic canister, much like the ones it has used before and began its capture of the spear wielder. The latter screamed in pain, feeling his body withering into the object in Another Rider's claw.

"Rikoris!" Karin exclaimed in fear.

They all witnessed the member of the Spear Club absorbed by the small canister the monster held out. With the young man now imprisoned by the canister, the Another Rider studied the object in its possession. The symbol on it making its sharp teeth curl upward in excitement.

"Warrior… Knight… BEST MATCH!"The monster said in glee. The lenses of its eyes opened to reveal its menacing eyes before closing. Twisting the caps, it ate the objects much to their shock. However, the objects appeared in the grotesque belt on its waist. Gripping the lever, the monster spun the lever and felt power coursing through its body.

The monster's defensive and offensive capabilities enhanced to a greater level, its combat heightened to a stronger degree. It clapped its hands together, releasing a burst of fire. Then when it spread its arms, a sword now appeared in hand, burning with flames that danced across the weapon.

"What in…"

The monster took the powers from those it trapped in the canisters. Now Karin realized why it labeled her as a Thief. It was searching for a compatible half to provide more power to its body.

"Guys, change formation! The beast gained more power from trapping Rikoris!" She ordered.

Her friends/comrades circled the monster, Carrot and a few others having to keep their distance while the weapon-wielders have to attack close range. Seeing the ones with their weapons coming close, he dodged their attacks thanks to its enhanced power of the Best Match. With the Mages repeatedly trying to damage it, it only annoyed the Another Rider.

Having enough of their insolence, Another Build's weapon conjured more fire before slamming the blade into the ground, releasing a burst of flames that pushed everyone away from it. The club members groaned, their bodies bruised from the Another Rider's powered wrath. The flaming spear was not wavering as Karin glared at the monster. She moved one foot to the left as the demon did the same. Both of them maintain a stance of their respective weapons.

When they stopped, Karin dashed and attempted to bisect the best. However, the Another Rider blocked the sword with its spear before pushing the weapon up. The girl jumped to avoid the sweep before slamming the sheath of her swore into its gut. The monster wasn't deterred by the attack due to the Knight power it gained.

When Another Build attempted to crush her head, Karin glided to avoid its clutches. Annoyed by the girl, the Another Rider swung his sword at her to which she used her blade to stop the attack.

With the flaming sword blocked, Karin held on before she hopped back, gripping her weapon tightly. Her breathing was becoming ragged. Already she was starting to feel worn out from the constant moving. The others were incapacitated by its attacks, leaving her the last one standing. The monster kept coming back no matter how many times it died. A repetitive cycle of life and destruction through time.

What can fully stop this monster from coming back? She wasn't a big expert in magic like some of her friends nor was there such a spell to do so. How-

"Hey!"

Karin looked back and immediately noticed Enrique and the tactical-clothed teen. Both of them were supposed to be imprisoned for their crimes!

"You two?! How did you criminals escape?!" Karin demanded.

"Now is not the time! We have to stop that monster fast!" Enrique responded. Geiz and Enrique stood side by side, presenting their respective Riderwatches.

ZI-O/GEIZ

With the Ridewatches activated, the duo placed them onto their belts as the clocks appeared behind them as they prepared their poses.

"Henshin!"

RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!/GEIZ!

Zi-O flicked his wrist while Geiz brandished his battle-ax before charging at Another Build. The evil kaijin blocked the first attack brought by Geiz before evading Zi-O's punch. Unbeknownst to them, Yuna arrived on time to watch the incident after learning the two Riders arrived to stop Another Build. She was glad to escape from the Student Council again and now wanted to watch what was happening.

Distracted by Zi-O's fist, Geiz used his ax to strike the Another Rider several times, creating a burst of an explosion.

"Yes!" Zi-O cheered but a growl earned the duo's attention. Hopping down from the rooftop was the Another Rider. "Seriously?!"

The two Kamen Riders decided to go for another fight against Another Build but no matter how many attacks they delivered, it kept returning.

Upon seeing the return of the monster again after its defeat made the graduate annoyed. Just like before, his sword finisher didn't do anything to stop it. "Why does it keep coming back?!" Zi-O exclaimed in frustration. "We are using our armor to beat it!"

Geiz grunted, his head lowered for a moment before he realized why. "We must have a real counterpart if we are to beat it… but the question remains of how? Kamen Rider Build isn't here."

The fellow Kamen Rider felt irritated by the revelation but chose to go with Plan B. "Ah, screw it! We'll just keep kicking it back to its grave until it stays dead!" Zi-O tapped the Ridewatch on his buckle before spinning it.

FINISH TIME! ZI-O! TIME BREAK!

The purple lettering appeared around Another Build but the symbols began to align clockwise. Zi-O jumped in the air before he tucked one foot in and left the other out. The purple symbol slams itself onto the bottom of Zi-O's armored foot before delivering the kick to the beast. When the monster exploded, they were greeted with an unexpected surprise.

"Huh?" Zi-O was surprised as were the Security Club. The monster was a fellow Reingar local as the object was beside the young man; a Ridewatch but it looked ominous with dark power. "The monster… was a local?"

"Hey wait, that's-" Time suddenly froze, the students affected while Zi-O and Geiz were not. Including Yuna.

"What the?!" The three looked around in bewilderment.

"It isn't nice to meddle with our affairs, Zi-O." The three noticed someone picking up the Another Ridewatch. He was garbed in blue clothes while having neck-length hair, a strand of it kept in place by an accessory.

"Time Jacker!" Geiz recognized.

"Time Jacker?" Yuna and Zi-O repeated.

"Can't have you interrupt our search for our new king but with you being here." The Time Jacker then frowned, "I don't like it one bit."

BUILD

The voice of the Ridewatch sounded menacing before placing it back into the student with force. The Reingar student screamed in agony before being enveloped in the malicious energy to become Another Build.

"You forced someone to become Another Build?!" Zi-O realized.

"That's right. He was supposed to suffer a sad fate during his studies in the research district of Reingar. So, I decided to intervene in his history." The Time Jacker explained happily.

"You prevented his death by making him a deal? To become that?!"

"Correct!"

Yuna gasped to learn what the mysterious teen announced. The 'Time Jacker' stopped an event of death but in return, the student had to become a monster as a form of payment.

"Hm?" The boy noticed Yuna. She wasn't affected by the time pause. "How are you able to move?"

Yuna blinked as Geiz wondered the same until the former remembered what the Guardian told her back in her world. She was unaffected by the control of time. Could that mean she was immune to the Time Jacker's power as well?

"Looks like you will be a threat to us so...I'll have Another Build eliminate you." He declared happily yet deviously. "Get her."

Yuna felt dread the moment she heard the order. With Tuna still in need of repairs after what Geiz did, she had nothing to defend herself. The Korean shielded herself but a loud clang echoed. She opened one eye before opening the other, noticing who defended her. It was Zi-O, his arms shaking while the sword collided against the monster's fiery sword.

"You think changing their fate, their time, will make ends meet for people? People like the one you are forcing to hurt others?" Zi-O questioned the Time Jacker. "Life is different than you may think… only they can choose the path they walk in the future." He parried Another Build's sword and struck the kaijin across the chest, shoving it away from him and Yuna. "Time doesn't move unless we move it ourselves."

Uhr hummed and said, "What an intriguing thing to say. You may be young but you're Zi-O." He grinned and added, "Show me what future you'll choose." The young man walked away, vanishing in the blink of an eye. With Uhr gone, time resumed as the Another Rider bellowed in rage.

Geiz clicked his tongue in annoyance and used his battle-ax to strike Another Build. He charged head-on with his signature weapon but Another Build merely blocked the strike with its flaming blade. With the attack parried, Another Build struck Geiz left and right before thrusting the weapon into the chestplate, creating a blast of sparks.

The red Rider rolled on the ground, gritting his teeth. The Another Rider was already strong as it is due to absorbing some of the locals.

"Leave him alone!" The Another Rider staggered, sparks bleeding off its body upon receiving a slash to its side.

Geiz looked at Zi-O who protected him. The future Rider was still surprised the rider was willing to defend someone he considered a friend. Protecting the girl from the Another Rider and to extension, protecting him amidst the fight.

Was this the same Oma Zi-O he knew? The tyrant who didn't care about others' lives?

Zi-O extended his hand to Geiz. "Need a hand?" Geiz stared before he firmly grabbed hold, the Rider being pulled onto his feet. "As you said, we gotta defeat this Another Rider. Build may not be around, but we gotta give it our best."

"Fine." Geiz huffed before he brought out the familiar Ridewatch.

GHOST!

With the watch activated, Geiz placed it onto the left side of his belt, locking it in place. Grabbing both sides of the buckle, he spun the center to activate the change.

ARMOR TIME! KAIGAN! GHOST!

With the armor latching onto him, Geiz once again wielded the power of Ghost. The duo charged head-on against the Another Rider.

Yuna watched as Geiz and Zi-O fight Another Build, her eyes witnessing the courage Zi-O displayed to protect her.

She… She wanted to protect her friend as he did for her. He listened to her when no one else did growing up. As if he was the other half of what she wanted to be.

Courage and willpower.

Yuna suddenly noticed her schoolbag glowing. Befuddled, she checked inside and noticed the odd bottle she found months back was now glowing. To her surprise, she began to witness it change before the glow dimmed, revealing a round object similar to Zi-O's. However, it was a red color with the image that said Build along with the number 2017.

'Could this be…?' She realized.

It looked just like the one her friend and Geiz were using. Looking at the ongoing fight, she immediately realized it will serve as a way to help them.

"Enrique, use this!" Yuna threw the Ridewatch at Zi-O prompting him to catch it.

"A Ridewatch?" Zi-O gasped.

Geiz immediately looked at the rider and the object. The girl had a Ridewatch with her? How was she able to obtain one?

"You use it."

"Eh?"

"That Ridewatch contains the power and history of Kamen Rider Build. You'll be able to destroy that monster permanently with that power. Build may not be here, but that Watch has his power!" Geiz-Ghost stated, dodging Another Build's attack. "Just use it!"

Zi-O looked at his hand, staring at the Ridewatch before he nodded. "Alright."

Karin, however, took heed of the ongoing fight. As the Heir of Reingar was with them, she had to take action.

"Wait, you criminal!" Karin is about to charge at Zi-O but she was suddenly stopped by Woz with his book to block her path.

"It would be best if you don't interrupt my king's ceremony."

"Eh?! Where did you come from?! Don't you have papers of the reason for your stay?!"

"I can come through here if I wish. Now you will witness a historic moment." The moment he said that Zi-O activated the Build Ridewatch.

BUILD!

He then sets it on the left slot of the Ziku-Driver, tilting it as he spins the buckle.

ARMOR TIME! BEST MATCH! BUILD!

Armor pieces appeared in front of Zi-O much to his surprise. He poked it, causing it to burst before attaching onto his form. With the new form established, something in Zi-O's mind made him move his hand across the antenna of his helmet before flicking his wrist.

(Cue Be the One by PANDORA feat. Beverly)

Opening the book in his hand, Woz announced with pride. "Behold! This man is the Heir of the Kamen Riders, traveling through time and space to rule the past and future of Orbis and Earth! His name is Kamen Rider Zi-O: Build Armor! This is the moment that he inherits his first Rider's power!"

"Who are you talking to?" Karin said in bewilderment.

"I have a right to announce my king's presence," Woz answered with pride.

"Your king?"

"Indeed. And you're now seeing him in action with his newly obtained power." They soon witness Zi-O wielding the new weapon in hand before charging at Another Build. The Rider slashed at Another Build with the drill-like weapon on his right arm. Dodging another claw attack, he then swung the drill weapon on Build slashing at its hide repeatedly, delivering damage to the monster.

"The laws of victory have been set," Zi-O said but mentally, he immediately wondered what made him say that. Shaking his head, he chose to think that later before taking another strike into its chest, the drill spinning and sparks violently bleed off its armor.

Another Build grunted in agony, reaching to the spinning drill to stop it but Zi-O gripped its arm before throwing the monster over his back.

Zi-O raised his arm and drilled into the monster's belt, the demonic canisters cracking to the damage. Another Build tried to stop it but the canisters shattered, causing those who were absorbed by its power to be free from its grasp.

With the captured locals free, Another Build was enraged by Zi-O's interference to its Best Match.

"You ruined the Best Match!"

"Tough luck pal." Zi-O dodged the Another Rider's claw. Zi-O slammed his knee against Another Build's stomach, earning a harsh cough before giving a kick to the monster's temple.

Another Build tumbled to the right, reeling from the hit. Grabbing Another Build by the collarbone, Zi-O grunted and dragged the monster across the platform before sliding the beast across the concrete.

The Another Rider stood on one knee, trying to stand after all the damage it took. The resulting damage made him weak enough to destroy. This was the opportunity needed to win the fight.

"Finish it! Press both Ridewatches, then spin the belt again!" Geiz shouted. "It will activate the execution finisher!"

"Got it!" Knowing what to do, Zi-O pressed both the Ridewatches on his belt before spinning it once more.

FINISH TIME! BUILD! VOLTECH TIME BREAK!

Jumping up, Zi-O immediately slid down the chart with his foot hitting the kaijin, the latter roaring in pain before an explosion ensued, leaving the student on the ground unconscious while the Ridewatch scattered.

The Another Ridewatch glowed before it completely broke into pieces, no longer usable.

(End Song)

"He actually did it…" Karin said, speechless of what he just did. That man finally managed to defeat the monster with the armor. Originally the monster kept coming back from the 'dead' but this time, the armored combatant was able to halt the repetitive cycle. It was no longer reviving.

"Seems it's time for me to leave," Woz stated before leaving the area.

"Wait! I still need to bring you in-" She immediately tried to stop him but Woz vanished in the blink of an eye. "Where did he go?!"

Just what is going on!? First, the criminals in strange armor and belts and the ones called 'Kamen Riders' began to appear.

What exactly are the Kamen Riders?

With Zi-O, he took deep breaths after having to fight intensely against the Another Rider. The monster was permanently destroyed while the Ridewatch used for it was separated from the host. One question still bothered him: How is he able to wield the power of Build? Geiz said the Watch had the entire history within it. No, he shouldn't think like that for the moment. What mattered was they won and survived the fight.

"We did it, Geiz." Zi-O walked to the Rider. "We stopped that Another Rider."

"Yeah…" Geiz-Ghost nodded as he observed the area where the Another Rider got defeated. "Remember, I still plan to kill you."

The graduate swallowed heavily. The guy still doesn't have trust in him, only trust in the fight? This was going to be troublesome for him to get back home.

"Hey, you two Riders!"

Zi-O raised his hands in fright while Geiz sighed irritably at the shout. "Not this again…"

The duo saw the approaching Public Security Club members. The young second lieutenant being the one to step forward. Her crimson eyes not giving any wary but a questionable look at the duo.

"Normally we want you arrested, but now we demand an explanation." Karin crossed her arms while Judith and a few students hoisted up the Reingar local responsible for using the Another Ridewatch. "First the Kamen Rider title, and what that crazy prophet just said about Zi-O being a king. And the belt shocking me." She took a deep breath to ease her tone.

"Just who are you guys really?"

Unknownst to them, on the other side of the fight Yuna sneaked a peek after escaping from the scuffle before her spectacled eyes looked up at the red Time Mazine. Her eyes were filled with excitement and her mind now on research mode. Now was her opportunity to study it!


With the fight over, it only left questions for the Public Security Club and a few students of the Student Council about the Kamen Riders. Especially the power they have. They all gathered in order to discuss the incident as well as the mystery of the two masked riders.

The graduate was the one to explain to them about the monster thanks to Geiz's knowledge about it. There was no doubt that Reingar local was unwilling to hurt people but the dark Ridewatch forced him to do so.

"So one of the locals was forced to become a monster…" Hazel murmured, tapping her chin in curiosity. "And you mentioned the only way for it to die is by a power identical to it?"

"That's what Geiz told me," Enrique confirmed. "Thanks to the new Ridewatch, it gave us a chance to defeat Another Build."

"Another… Build?"

"It held the powers of the real Kamen Rider," Geiz stated. "But darker and twisted."

This made the locals glance at each other, unsettled to the revelation. The Another Rider was practically a demented form of a Hero. With the title Kamen Rider unknown to Reingar, it brought more questions than answers.

"Which kingdom do you two hail from?"

The two people otherworlders looked at each other, the graduate scratching the back of his head. "Well… we're… actually not from here." Enrique replied nervously. "Geiz and I, are from a different world."

"Huh? Heroes from another world?"

The high school graduate blinked while Geiz remained calm. The red rider was aware of the theory of other worlds due to the incident 50 years in the future. "You guys don't sound surprised by the whole 'Another World' scenario." Enrique noticed in surprise. Usually something like this, people would see him as crazy or not believable given the situation but it seemed the people before him were familiar with other worlds.

"We have several cases of things showing up from unknown worlds over the years through the Chaos Gates," Hazel stated. "Especially when our Heir was brought here by the Guardian of Reingar before she ran from us."

"What is an Heir exactly?" Geiz asked with a frown.

"Chosen protectors, selected by a Guardian." The woman elaborated. "The Guardian of Reingar recently chose an Heir but she ran after hearing everything that was explained to her."

"I don't blame her," Enrique stated. "I mean, she and myself were abruptly brought here to… you said Reingar, right?"

"That's correct." Hazel adjusted her glasses. "But we never expected two other arrivals."

Geiz paused. "Speaking of arrivals, where's my Time Mazine?"

"Time Mazine?"

"My machine that you people confiscated after throwing me into a cell." Geiz frowned.

"Last we recall, it was-" Hazel paused and realized where they left it. "Oh, Goddess… the Heir."

"Huh?"

"We saw her near that giant machine."

"That girl better not do anything to the Time Mazine! It's my only way back!"

"What's so important about that machine anyway?"

"That machine is called Time Mazine for a reason."

A long pause was earned amongst the group before it clicked. "T-Time travel?! That is impossible! The Guardian Kazran is the only one who can rewind, slow, or even pause time! No other human can do that, let alone travel back farther in time!"

"Welcome to the world of the human mind's intelligence," Geiz responded, earning a few glares from the smart students.

"Come to think of it, if that machine can time travel… won't that mean…" Enrique began to put the pieces together of Geiz's reasons. "Are you telling me… you're from the future?!"

"The year 2068."

"So the number on that Geiz trinket…" Carrot realized. "Of course… so those objects represent a year, not the time of a clock. The numbers used for the powers are based on the year."

"But from the year 2068? That type of year is…" Hazel murmured.

"Unbelievable?" Enrique guessed, equally surprised to learn Geiz is from Earth's future. "It's a first for me to hear too."

He thought it was total science fiction to time travel but Geiz defied that. The dark-clothed Rider had his arms crossed and leaned against the wall.

"What bothers me aside from that girl stealing my machine, is the Time Jacker."

"Time Jacker?"

"The one who was here before he left," Enrique recalled. "A teenager around your age garbed in blue."

Karin blinked, "Who? We didn't see anyone other than that monster."

The future rider shook his head in annoyance. Enrique needed to realize that when a Time Jacker used their ability, the others wouldn't remember what occurred during the time pause. "That's because the Time Jacker froze time to do so." Geiz frowned. "Your Guardian isn't the only one after what we witnessed."

The student council whispered amongst themselves regarding the revelation. The two otherworlders overheard the council of students talking theories of a fragment of the Guardian's power being stolen, etc. being the main possibilities.

To discover someone having similar power to Kazran with dangerous intentions no doubt made them wary. Zi-O and Geiz were the only ones capable of defeating the Another Riders. If something like this were to happen elsewhere, the kingdoms would need support from the two.

The student council gathered together, discussing something the two couldn't hear but it must be important. Once the quiet conversation came to a conclusion, the council looked at the rider duo.

"With this situation, you guys should warn the queen about it."

"Queen?" The two otherworlders repeated. They never expected a queen to be in the new world they arrived in. Seems fantasy was definitely the right term of where they are.

"Yes and luckily, there's a boat that is to depart today to the continent," Hazel informed. "We will take you guys to the docks."

Karin motioned the two to follow her and the others. The two nodded before traveling out of the building.

Once the group arrived at the ocean docks, the otherworlders could see passengers entering the boat. No doubt it was making an eventual departure.

"Here." Hazel handed the two small satchels. "This should help you guys regarding any necessities. Consider this as our thanks for stopping that Another Rider."

"We appreciate it," Enrique smiled. Despite the trouble from before, they settled the matter and already have earned trust in each other as friends. "So… where will the boat take us?"

"The boat will take you to the mainland." Judith was next to explain. "Once you reach the docks, you should head to the kingdom of Ezera. That is where the Queen of that nation resides. She should learn about this if something like this were to happen in her kingdom."

"Will you guys be alright? What if another shows up?"

"We'll be alright. You guys, on the other hand, should be the ones to be careful." The spectacled girl advised, the fellow brunette nodding in agreement. "This world is different than you may think."

"Noted." Geiz acknowledged while Enrique nodded. Given what they just experienced earlier, it was obvious this world was far more different than they imagined.

"Good luck," Judith said to the two.

"We will and thanks." Enrique gave his partings as both he and Geiz entered the boat as the last of the passengers got on board. With everything set, the boat began its departure as Enrique knew one thing about this—This was just the start of the journey.


Yuna fiddled with the interior of the Time Mazine, looking over the machine's hardware and data. She had already begun to understand its use and it was unbelievable to know it was used for time travel based on its records and diagnostics. Even though she was very intelligent, she wasn't able to make such a magnificent machine! She was so excited about the chance of seeing its components in order to replicate it.

The Korean student tapped the screen, seeing records of the timeline. Her spectacled eyes saw events of Earth and Orbis much to her curiosity, each moment being (un)familiar but stopped when she noticed the upcoming year 2019.

"Oma Day?" Yuna read in curiosity. It must be an important day given it was in the timeline. She tapped the screen and lifted her head to see the display but her eyes widened to the information regarding Oma Day.

Oma Day was seen as a dark moment for Earth and Orbis due to the Demon King of Time. Ruler of the two worlds through time and space.

"Oma... Zi-O…" She gasped, noticing the appearance of the said Demon King and his true name displayed. "W-What…"

While the golden king had his name 'Oma Zi-O' and eerily looked similar to the Zi-O she knew, it was the name in the inscription that shocked her.

'What is going on?' That was the thought in her mind. Was this why Geiz wanted to kill her friend?

And why was Enrique fated to become that tyrant? He's not the type to become a ruthless ruler. Something wasn't right…

If that mysterious boy was trying to find a new king, just who was really behind the incident and what made her best friend become a tyrant?

Who is planning everything behind the scenes with the power of the Kamen Riders?


A/N: And that completes the Build/Arrival arc! It seems Zi-O has achieved the power of Build and more mysteries lie for the future of the world they are in. If you all recall in some of the episodes in Zi-O, some of the characters obtained powers of the main Rider (Kabuto and Hibiki being prime examples) when they weren't the main Rider. Plus, in the Hibiki tribute arc, Kyosuke's Tuning Fork turned into a Ridewatch, thus the effect was applied similarly to the FullBottle which turned into the Ridewatch. If you guys have played the game, Yuna is a very intelligent girl who made Tuna (the drone) at a very young age. Her intelligence, personality, and her past (regarding her being treated differently) made a connection to the FullBottle that became the Ridewatch.

Now you know the reasons for the transformation and connection. I know some of you wonder, will some of the Rider characters be in Orbis? Will they be on Earth? You will have to wait and see but to answer the possibility? It will alternate but can't say when. Until then, don't forget to favorite, follow, and review the chapter! Stay in the shadows, everyone!
