Been a while since my last update so here ya go. Might be a bit short but well, it's as good as you can get. I decided to pause update and finish the series till the end to try to figure out what to do with the plot. And so happened that I also finally get to watch OverQuartzer last weekend so there's that.

The dimensional curtain brought him back towards the front of the building that housed Studio Oshieru as Tsukasa frowned. He thought he was willing himself to relocate towards the location of Sougo and Tsukuyomi so why—?

A scream suddenly resounded behind him as he turned around to see a number of civilians running away in alarm. He ran over as he caught one of them.

"What happened?"

The man was staring at him wide-eyed in fear. "A monster! And someone was fighting it!" exclaimed the man before shrugging off from his grasp before running away again.

Another nearby photo studio, is it?, Tsukasa mused. Suppose the current space distortion managed to round up a number of photo studios and have them within distances of each other?

Tsukasa let out a snort before running off towards the source of the disturbance.

Zi-O was fighting with Chalice. Aikawa Hajime. Hajime-san seemed to be protecting the Another Blade. So the person WAS connected to Hajime after all?

Tsukasa frowned. What was this bad feeling he's sensing?

Then again, perhaps his worries weren't unfounded. After all, so far... most of the people the Time Jacker has picked to become Another rider were random people who have no relation towards any of the original Kamen Riders. So for this one being connected to Hajime-san, could that also mean that the person was also connected to Kenzaki-san? And how would this affect anything?

Tsukasa blinked as he sensed something changing in the air. He turned his head around as his eyes caught a glimpse of something—someone—heading towards them. Would that be—?

Tsukasa's assumption was right on track as a familiar person came into view. Yet, he couldn't help noticing that this Kenzaki appeared a lot more ragged than how he last saw the man in the past. Has Kenzaki's life been harder since the last time they met?

"Kenzaki, you noticed it too?"

"Hajime—! You used your power! I sealed my own power away, for your sake. And you broke that seal!"

Tsukasa blinked. Eh? Kenzaki-san... did that?

Then again he remembered Kenzaki telling him before that ever since he became the Navy Joker, he wasn't able to let himself be close to Hajime. Because their close proximity would make them be inclined to start fighting each other and resume their unfinished Battle Fight. Since that was the fate of every Undeads of his world as long as their Battle Fight did not end with a final victor.

And neither Kenzaki nor Hajime should be allowed to lose or else the world of Kamen Rider Blade would be destroyed.

So Kenzaki-san chose to seal his own power?

Tsukasa silently watched the scene from afar as Kenzaki transformed into Blade, which was quite unlike the time in the past when the man tried to fight him. Kenzaki back then was cold and composed but this Kenzaki was—Suppose it was easier to fight a stranger compared to fighting a dear friend.

"The two of us, now that we've met again... is there no way to avoid this fate?"

Tsukasa turned to look at Zi-O and Tsukuyomi and as expected, the two kids were at a lost. Well, that shouldn't be surprising. How could they have expected to encounter Kenzaki and Hajime-san like this?

But this battle between Blade and Chalice... the two of them were really fighting seriously! And it didn't look like Kenzaki-san were thinking clearly in this fight and just relying on his emotions. This fight should be stopped yet—Tsukasa turned his glance towards Zi-O again as he seemed to have resumed fighting with Another Blade now that Chalice was occupied.

He should just continue to watch over them. Barging into fights unnecessarily might make the situation even worse and Tsukasa was very much aware of how unpredictable such battles could be.

And a part of him was curious as to how Sougo would deal with this situation.

A/N2: Sorry if there wasn't much going on in the last few chapters aside from retelling the episodes from Tsukasa's POV. Since before I could write in any new scene I had to first consider the plot in the related episodes and try not having the events clashed with each other.

And fair warning, since the plot from OverQuartzer kinda has some bit of unexpected twist... I may include hints of it in this fic veeeeeeery faintly. So yeah, there may be spoilers on that XD
