SAD: Sword Art Decade

Chapter 1: Birth of a new Destroyer.

Asuna thought it was a nightmare. She was standing in the middle of a war zone as a battle commenced. She saw explosions ring out throughout the area as many people, wearing different types of suit and armor, were dropping dead one by one on both sides. As another set of explosions ran off and the smoke later cleared, she sees a figure.

She looked to her left and was a glowing figure cloaked in a pink light. He had green insect-like eyes, a white buckle on his belt with various insignias surrounding a red dot in the center.

"Decade…" she muttered, surprised that the name popped into her head.

She then turned a bit to her right, and saw an armored figure standing up. He was wearing a black armored body suit that had silver lines pointed inward on his chest, giving off the semblance of a ribcage. The same silver lines covered his wrists and ankles, and two more lines also were on the outer edges of his shoulder pads. A tattered scarf was draped around his neck. Numerous slots were wrapped around his chest and limbs, as if they were meant for something. But what Asuna found to stand out the most was the silver helmet that looked like a skull, and strangely, a white fedora on top. Around his waist was a belt with a red mechanical buckle that had a slot that tilted diagonally.

"DECADE!" He roared as he charged at the glowing figure, with a black sword that had a skull on the guard raised. But as he was close, another explosion took place where he had stood. As the smoked settled, the skull wearing figure was struck down from behind. He had dropped onto his knees before falling face first onto the earth, the grip on his sword loosening.

Asuna turned around and saw a similar figure to the glowing one. But this one had blue eyes, a black buckle, and a malicious black aura was coming off him.

"…Dark Decade…" She muttered again.

Both Decades looked at one another and drew their weapons, a sword whose guard resembled a book. They charged at one another, running past their fallen comrades. Their blades soon clashed, engulfing the battle field in a bright light.

But before Asuna could tell what happened next…she woke up.

The brown haired girl sat upright in bed, sweat dripping down her face. She wiped the moisture away and took deep breaths to calm down. She glanced at her alarm clock as it read 1:35am.

"Just…what was that…? …Decade…" she said to herself.

{Kamen Rider Decade. He has been given the power of a destroyer to destroy one.} As the song starts the scene focuses on Decade, who just transformed, standing in a white room filled with filming clips.

{Miageru hoshi sorezore no rekishi ga kagayaite} Asuna covers Kirito's eyes until she lets go. His eye is zoomed in and is soon replaced with the camera, his camera, and later his Decadriver which includes all 15 Heisei Riders including himself. His Machine Decader is shown parked in front of a pile of smoking rubble. In the white room Kirito grabs one of the cubes and faces the camera.

{Seiza no you sen de musubu shunkan hajimaru Legend} The scene changes to a worn down warehouse with all Riders sitting but one at a time. Asuna grabs a bottle and looks at the strip of film within it. Kirito looks back. Kanade leans on top of her TryChaser 2000 as the silhouettes of the other Riders appeared one by one. Asuna throws the bottle down on the floor.

{Oorora (aurora) yurameku jikuu koete. Tobikomu meisou suru Parallel world} On one side the Dark Riders charge while on the other the Riders of Good did the same. When the bottle shatters, Kirito looks as though he was about to collapse but not before his face changing into each of the Riders' helmets. Back at the warehouse all 15 riders were lined up doing their signature poses and with Decade in the center but behind him was his friends, but mostly, Asuna.

{On the road dare mo tabi no tochuu. Hontou no jibun jishin deau tame.} All 15 Riders were in a circle and were fending off the Dark Riders as they were being surrounded by them. Kirito is then shown on his bike getting his helmet on and Asuna was riding passenger. Asuna grabs on to him tightly. Next, Decade shows off his fighting skills especially with the Attack Ride: Slash card. Soon back to the Riders, everyone was doing their best trying to watch each other's back while against the Dark Riders.

{Atarashii yoake e to tsuzuku michi ni kawaru no darou.} Kirito sits alone exhausted and with tears rolling down his face until Asuna was in front of him with his camera in one hand and offering the other to help him up. The rest of his friends were standing behind her in support. We soon see Kanade riding with Kirito and Asuna on their respective bikes. Back on the battle, Blade was having trouble with Glaive until Decade shows up and pushed Glaive away. Ryuga was about to use his Strike Vent on Decade until Ryuki used his first which saved Decade.

{Mokugekise yo Journey through the Decade.} The Riders were helping each other trying to take down their respective foe. Soon Asuna is seen with a smile in Decade's mind. But Decade focuses on the battle and helping his comrades. Decade was soon on his bike driving out of a Gray Mirror with pictures of the other 14 Riders in it and they circled the logo.

The Next Day.

(Click!)

The sound of a pink camera went off, which was pointing to a scene of untouched nature just a little ways past the park. The holder of the device was a black haired male in his late teens. He wore dark pants, a black t-shirt, and a black jacket. His attire resembled to what he wore during his time in the death game Sword Art Online. This man was Kirigaya Kazuto, or Kirito to his friends. It was the same In-game name he had for the past few years, and it pretty much stuck.

It had been nearly three years since the start of Sword Art Online, and only a year since the ending of Alfheim Online where he saved Asuna from the bastard Sugou. And it had been only a few months since the end of the events in Gun Gale online. As of now, Kirito was working part time at a photo studio after gaining an interest for taking pictures. While he enjoyed the hobby, he wasn't quite skilled in it.

"May I help you?" he asked politely. But in response, the group took out blurry or unfocused pictures. Kirito knew what they had meant. He worked at the photography studio named: Tachikawa Studios, in which Asuna's Grandfather owned. But Kirito was surprised he didn't fire him due to the low quality images.

"Is this a joke?" The leader asked.

"We wanted good quality pictures, but you give us this crap!" Another said.

"We want our money back!" the last one demanded.

Sighing at his current failure, Kirito took out the money he kept in his bag and handed it back to the people. After handing the last bill of currency to the last customer, he went back to the studio to meet with his boss. He stopped in front of a rather large building. It was about three stories high and in the window, could be seen that it was also a home. This was where he worked: Tachikawa studios.

He opened the door and met up with his boss, Minato Tachikawa, Asuna's grandfather from her mother's side. He was in his seventies going eighties, but he still had that active spark in life. His thinning white hair was neatly combed and hidden under a light brown hat. His aged brown eyes still also had the lively shine to them as they were behind a pair of wire-rimmed glasses. He looked up from a camera he was cleaning to see Kirito.

"Ah Kazuto-kun. You're back." He smiled, but saw his depressed face. "Is something bothering you?"

"I'm sorry Tachikawa-san, but I had to return the money to customers again." He said lamely.

"I see. But it's alright. I know you always try your best." The man said gently. Minato liked the boy's pictures, saying they were rather creative and unique in their own way.

"I'm sorry. But I just don't know what happens. I always try my best, but the photo just doesn't come out right, no matter how much I adjust my camera." Kirito looked down in disappointment at himself. He defeated two Game Masters, beaten the death game, saved his friends, but he couldn't take a single good picture. Minato placed a hand on the boy's shoulder.

"Don't worry about it Kazuto-kun. You know what they say: if you keep trying, you will improve, right?" He said in support.

"I..guess so sir." Kirito managed a small smile back.

"Thatta boy. Now why don't you relax for the rest of the day. I can handle the rest." The black haired teen nodded and left. His destination: Andrew's restaurant. He was supposed to meet his friends there after school.

At the Dicey Cafe.

"Another bad photo day huh, Kirito." Agil, or Andrew said as he set down a glass on the counter. He was rather tall and bulky man with his skin being a dark tan. On his face was a dark beard and not a hair on his head. But he appeared to be in within his mid twenties to early thirties. Two silver rings were on his left ear.

"Yeah..." Kirito rested his chin on his had as he examined his camera. It was a present he got on his birthday. He never understood why his aunt chose to give him a pink colored one though.

"Lighten up man. You can only get better." Klein, or Ryotaro smacked his back in a supportive manner. Ryotaro was a man in his min twenties with spiky red hair underneath a headband. He sports a thin strip of stubble on his chin, has thin eyebrows, sharp nose and gentle eyes.

"I guess." the teen answered back.

"Mou~You can't let a set back like this get you down right?" A girl said in support. Her in-game name is Lisbeth, but her real identity is Shinozaki Reika. She has short brown hair customized with clips at the side, and brown eyes.

"She's right Kirito-san, don't give up." a petite blonde girl said. She was known as Silica in the game, but her real name is Ayano Keiko.

"Although, I wonder how you plan to get better at taking pictures. Are you sure your camera isn't broken?" Sinon, or Asada Shino, stated. She has short, thin black hair tied in ribbons that falls a bit past her chin, and wears half-rimmed glasses over her black eyes. Kirito met her during the events in Gun Gale Online.

"I don't think so. We had it checked out and the shopkeeper said everything was perfectly fine." Suguha, Kirito's cousin, said. She had short black hair in a bob cut and dark gray eyes. She is rather gifted in the chest area and has a tone body from all the kendo practice she went through.

"I just don't know what's wrong. It's like the world is rejecting me to take its picture." Kirito stated depressingly.

"Don't say that Kirito-kun." Asuna said as she wrapped her arms around him. Her light born hair fell down to her lower back, and her light brown eyes were soft and gentle. "Grandpa says that you will improve. So you should believe that you will get better. Alright?" She broke the hug as she looked him seriously in the eye.

After a moment, Kirito sighed while smiling. "Alright. But if I still make crappy pictures, then I blame you for telling me to believe in myself." He said jokingly. But Asuna frowned and punched him in the arm.

"Oh?" Reika said with an eyebrow raised.

"What?" Asuna questioned when she saw the girl looking at her.

"So you -were- going for the hug with Kirito, right?" She said mischievously.

"Th-that wasn't it! I was being supportive!" She retorted.

"Suuuuuuurrree you were." Everyone laughed at their expense. Kirito laughed for a bit as he took a sip from his drink.

But as soon as he set the glass down, everything turned to night. And it wasn't just that, none of them weren't even in the restaurant anymore, but in the middle of the park. Kirito was just as surprised as his friends, who had stopped laughing, but his eyes became focused on one unfamiliar man. He was in his early twenties wearing a turtle neck shirt, black jacket, gray pants, and black shoes. Oddly, the same camera that Kirito has was around his neck.

"Yo, New Decade." He said. They all turned to him.

'Decade...!?' Asuna thought in slight shock, still perturbed from her nightmare.

"Who are you?" Kirito's eyes narrowed.

"What do you want?" Asuna said next.

"My name is Tsukasa Kadoya. Or better known as...Kamen Rider Decade." The man answered.

"Kamen Rider...?" Suguha questioned. They were familiar with the series. But not familiar with Decade.

"That doesn't answer her question. What do you want?" Andrew pressed.

Tsukasa sighed in disappointment. "Seriously, I'm going to have to explain all this? Fine then."

The scene then changed. Instead of the park, the setting was replaced with 13 Earths around them.

"Wh-what is this?" Shino questioned.

"Are we floating?" Keiko wondered.

"These are the Kamen Rider worlds in this universe." Kirito looked all around them before turning back to Tsukasa.

"And? There must be some reason you are showing this to us."

"Glad to see you get to the point. Yes, the reason i am showing you all these worlds are because of..." Tsukasa snapped his fingers, transporting everyone to a field. He then pointed behind the group.

"...Him." Everyone turned around, and they were surprised to see the new figure. He was an armored man colored in black and yellow. His helmet was of the same color, but with black vertical lines going down the headpiece, which had two blue insect-like eyes. He also had slanted black X across his chest. "Dark Decade." And behind Dark Decade was every single Dark Kamen Rider that had existed.

"The Dark Riders are making a move, trying to conquer each world, each story, and transforming them into their own. And soon, this one." He explained.

"Can't you do something about this?" Shino questioned.

"Unfortunately, this Rider Universe is... special. To the point where I and the other riders of my Universe have no jurisdiction over. We have our own world to protect, just like you. But that doesn't mean we are unable to help. I can tell you right now that the black haired boy is going to play one of the biggest roles."

"Why are you telling us all this? And why me?" Tsukasa gave a small laugh.

"Man, now I know how Wataru felt when he met me. It's because...well, you might not remember but...you are to unite all the Riders of this universe and stand against Dark Decade and his Riders; if not, then the world will be consumed in darkness and Dark Decade will create a new Rider War. So, for a good tip: Defeat Dark Decade as soon as possible, or a new Rider War will occur, and nothing good will ever come out of it." Tsukasa said coldly. Shocking everyone with the truth. Kirito took this information slowly, trying to get a grasp of it.

"But...Why me?" Kirito asked. Tsukasa just laughed.

"It's because...you are this world's version of me. You are this Universe's Decade. And grab your Buckle and Cards, they all got an upgrade." Tsukasa explained before a bright light engulfed their surroundings and the group found themselves back in Andrew's restaurant.

"What...just happened?" Ryotaro questioned.

"No clue. But I have a bad feeling about this."

"I think we were just hallucinating...That couldn't have been true." Shino tried to be realistic.

"But...that felt to real to be a dream." Keiko said.

"Kirito-kun, are you alright?" Asuna asked as she put a hand on his shoulder.

"Onii-chan..." Suguha was worried.

Kirito didn't pay much mind to them. He was too busy thinking about what Tsukasa had said. 'Am I really this world's Decade? How is this even possible?' He mentally asked himself. But before he could think about it more, the ceiling and upper walls had begun to dissolve, catching everyone's attention. But it was short lived as a gray mirror appeared from nowhere and engulfed all of them.

However, on the other side, Kirito was all by himself, in the middle of an unfamiliar, empty city. "Everyone? Where are you!?" he called out. He then broke into a run to search for his friends.

Meanwhile...

The group of friends was standing in the middle of town. People were panicking in the streets, and they figured out why: The buildings were dissolving just like the Dicey Cafe.

"Graaagggghhh!" The cried of one man caught their attention. They turned to their left and saw the victim falling to the floor dead. A black humanoid creature holding a spear stained with blood stood over him. The denizens begun to run as similar monsters appeared and attacked them.

"Run!" Andrew yelled.

The VRMMORPG players managed to evade all of them and kept running along with other people.

But before they could get far, a new gray mirror engulfed them, transporting them into a raining, warehouse-filled, area.

"Why is it raining all of a sudden?" Ryotaro asked rhetorically.

"I'm getting soaked." Keiko cried.

"My glasses are blurring." Shino stated.

As they all tried to shield themselves from the rain, a new monster appeared, standing on a pile of crates. One of the denizens suddenly had two long fang-like objects embedded into his neck as he quickly was drained of color, becoming a clear husk. Upon witnessing this, everyone panicked once more and ran.

However, more monsters appeared. They all had stained glass patterns on their body and seemed to be based off of animals. They started attacking the people fleeing, draining them of their life force. But the SAO survivors managed to escape them. Ryotaro and Andrew knocked a few away out of the path before they all continued their retreat.

They ran through an alley way to flee.

"Wait!" One of the monsters cried. But ti was too late as they fell through another gray mirror, this one placing them in a flat rocky terrain. They all fell flat on their faces. As they tried to get up, a being made of sand rose up. Strangely, the upper half of its body was on the ground while the lower half was above it; both were made of flowing sand.

"Tell me your wish..." it said. "I will grant any wish..." They group backed away. But soon more of the same monsters appeared, requesting to grant a wish.

"Stop it!" Asuna cried. They all ran away, some even ran through the sand monsters.

"Don't you want your wish?..." They groaned as they followed them.

"Get lost!" Ryotaro kicked one in the face, dispersing it to sand.

"Buzz off." Reika did the same.

They ran through one more gray mirror. Just when all seemed normal, a building collapsed behind them. They all turned around to see the culprit. It was a gargantuan Lobster-like monster with insect wings.

"Man...That's a lot of seafood..." Ryotaro joked half-heartedly.

"Really man? Now?" Andrew asked in disbelief.

Everybody backed up from the creature, but another concrete structure broke apart from behind. This time it was a skeletal insect monster that was roughly the same size as the lobster one.

The SAO survivors ran away to take shelter in a ruined building.

"Okay, this has got to be a dream. And I just want to wake up now!" Shino cried, panic shown in her voice.

"I'm scared. Why is this happening? I want to go home!" Keiko cried.

"It's going to be fine Keiko-chan. Hopefully." Reika consoled, but she was nervous herself.

"Man! If only we can fight back!" Ryotaro punched a wall in frustration.

"But there isn't much we can do. This is reality." Suguha replied.

But just as she said it, another gray mirror materialized next to them, and someone familiar came out.

"Oh...I almost forgot to mention." Tsukasa reappeared. "Now that the walls between the worlds are breaking down, now you can use your skills from those VRMMORPGs you guys play. Just open the main menu screen like you would in the games." Everyone just gawked at him in disbelief.

"Seriously?" Ryotaro cried.

"I'd find that hard to believe." Shino said condescendingly.

Tsukasa shrugged. "It's up to you if you believe it or not. But you might want to try something before you get killed. Also, even if you are powerful in the game world, it still isn't enough to beat a Dark Rider. Well then, bye." And with that, he left.

Each of the game players looked at one another hesitantly. As they did, more buildings were being destroyed around them.

"Should we try it?" Suguha questioned, anxiety plagued her face.

"What do we have to lose?" Reika sighed. Hesitantly, each person placed their hand in front of them, and to their utter shock, a holographic screen with options one would see in an RPG type of game appeared.

The slowly clicked on the 'equip' setting. Once they had done so, pillars of light engulfed each person. And when the glare subsided, each of the video game players were standing tall in their VRMMORPG attire. Their equipment varied from each person.

Ryotaro was wearing red robes and black armor, giving off the resemblance of a samurai warrior, all complete with the katana at his side.

Andrew wore a green shirt with metal plating covering his chest, left shoulder and sides. He also wore black pants and dark green boots. In his hands was a large dual bladed axe and metal shield.

Keiko was wearing a long red coat with a metal chest plates and a black skirt. Black stockings went up to her mid thigh. A thick black and gold ring was wrapped around her right ankle. Attached to her side was a black dagger.

Basically, all three were in their Avatar forms from Sword Art Online.

Shino was wearing her GGO gear, which consisted of a desert colored military jacket, bullet proof armor, and combat boots of the same color. A white muffler was worn around her neck. Her weapon of choice was a hecate sniper rifle. Her glasses disappeared as her hair turned a pale blue; and eyes a deep indigo.

Suguha's appearance was more of a drastic change as her hair grew into a long blonde ponytail, and her eyes became emerald current wardrobe was a white and green armored dress. Her weapon of choice was a katana.

Reika was in her ALO form. Her once brown hair was now pink and now wears a red and white armored dress. In her arms was a spiked mace and a small round shield.

"Whoa! So awesome!" Ryotaro yelled in excitement as he looked at his attire.

"Yeah." Agil clenched his hands testingly, to make sure it was real.

However, a light chirping sound from overhead caught the attention of a certain young girl. Even though she was in reality, she knew that sound anywhere; it came from the one partner she had by her side in both Sword Art Online and Alfheim Online.

"Pina!" Keiko cried happily. The blue feathered dragon chirped in response before landing on her shoulder and nuzzling against her. Keiko rubbed the top of its head affectionately.

"So he was actually telling the truth." Shino said as she examined her weapon.

"This is amazing!" Reika cheered.

"You should do try it as well Asuna." Suguha urged with a smile.

But before Asuna could try it out, she noticed two items inside the wall's crevice. "That's..." Her mind flashed back to the dream she had with the two riders. She walked up and grabbed them. Upon closer inspection, the metal items were just like the one's Decade wore on his belt. It was the same white buckle with the insignias. But in her other hand was a metal booklet. On the cover was a black stripe the ran diagonally through a white background and a black binder. The booklet had a small gray cylinder on the side.

"From my dream...but why...?" She questioned herself.

"Hey! Asuna!" A familiar voice cried.

The brown haired girl looked up to see Kirito on the other side of a gray mirror. 'Kirito-kun!" She ran over to her boyfriend.

"Can you hear me? Hey!" Asuna, along with the others, ran up to him.

"Onii-chan!" Suguha sighed in relief.

"How did you get over there?" Ryotaro questioned loudly.

"You're okay? Thank goodness."Asuna sighed the same manner.

"I wouldn't say this is okay..." The black swordsman said as he gestured to the mirror that contained him. "Wait, why are you guys in your VRMMORPG equipment? How are they in the real world? And how are you guys in your Avatars?" He asked. They all looked like they were about to explain, but they kept silent as Kirito had a dumbfounded expression while staring behind them.

The Gamers turned around. but backed up when they were facing themselves.

"Guys?" Kirito questioned.

The doppelgangers smiled before changing form. They briefly transmogrified into green humanoid, insect-like, monster before changing their form once more as they appear to have molted. Their current appearances was now a colony of various types of insect humanoids.

"Everyone!" Kirito cried out as he pressed his hands on the gray mirror. The insect monsters charged at the group. But to the Black Swordsman's surprise, they were able to fight back. Each person used the skills they acquired in the games.

Ryotaro cleaved a couple of the insects in half. He sped up in a blur and swung his sword down, defeated another line of monsters. He had just executed a a [Fell Crescent] skill.

Reika bashed the monster away using her mace, and blocked the attacks sent her way using her shield.

Andrew cleaved one dead center in half with his axe.

Suguha, who was using her wings, quickly flew around and sliced apart any of the insects that were nearby.

Keiko swung her dagger at the monsters Pina assisted her by using [Bubblebreath] on the enemy. She pressed the attack using a [Rapid Bite] skill, performing numerous strikes in succession.

Shino was using her rifle to shoot the Worms down.

However, after each opponent was slain, ten more would take their place.

"Asuna!" He punched the reflective wall hard.

"Kirito-kun!" Asuna moved closer towards the mirror, trying to reach Kirito, but was unable to. The black haired teen smacked the mirror again in frustration, but his eyes were drawn to the items in Asuna's hand. His mind flashed back to what Tsukasa told him.

'Grab your buckle and Cards...They got an upgrade.'

"Asuna! Hand me those!" Kirito yelled out, gesturing to the items the girl held.

"Huh? But...they're..."

"Please! There's no time to explain!"

Asuna hesitated at first, but thrust the items out to him through the mirror. They went through a remarkable transformation as they changed from being covered in dirt and broken to being in pristine condition.

But as soon as Kirito had a grasp on both items, Asuna was yanked back by one of the green insect monsters.

"Asuna!" He cried out. He then looked to the items in his hands, then back to his friends. Even though they are able to use their VRMMORPG skills in real life, they were still struggling from the absolute numbers.

Without a moment's hesitation, he snapped the buckle onto his waist. He opened the booklet and saw that it was a black metal cardholder. He pulled out the card from the left side and strapped the booklet to the belt on his left side.

He held up the card and flipped it in his hand.

"Henshin!" Kirito inserted the card into the driver and closed it.

"KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!"

Then the Rider Symbols appeared and turned to armor silhouettes. They merged with him and he was now donned in black and white armor with a black, slanted X across his chest. Then red plates emerged from the driver and flew back to his head, cracking the gray mirror in the process. Once they had done so, they became red but turned into black parts of his armor, other than his chest, into magenta and a yellow light appeared from the center bar. This was Kamen Rider Decade.

"ATTACK RIDE: SLASH!"

Kirito advanced quickly, shattering through the gray mirror and cutting down the monsters. He used the experience he gained from VRMMORPGs and dispatched the insectoids quickly.

As soon as all the monsters were defeated, Kirito's friends came up to him.

"Whoa man! That was awesome!" Ryotaro slapped him on the back with a smile on his face.

"How did you do that?" Andrew followed.

"What type of equipment are you using?" Shino inquired.

"Is that sword a book?" Reika asked.

However before he could answer all of that, Kirito noticed a new figure nearby. He saw that it was a young man, presumably in his twenties. His black hair was medium length and fell neatly. The clothes he wore, however, made him stand out as they were all white. The man sat on a crate as he slowly dragged a nail file in between the tips of his fingers.

"Oh? Looks like you already transformed. Guess I should as well." The man said as he put the nail file away. "Rey-Kivat!"

Next a snow white mechanical bat, whose body looked to be made of his entire face, appeared. "Yes. Let's give them a graceful yet violent ending."

The white bat then perched itself upside down on the man's belt.

"Henshin!" Once the man in white said so, a gigantic snowflake appeared before the fragments enveloped him in a suit of armor. The helmet was framed by golden claws that also framed the eyes while the claws were at the sides of a black mouth plate. The eyes were icy blue. He had a furry chest with gold talons attached to his shoulders that pointed forward. The body suit was black and his boots were white with armor plating on his thighs. Many chains were wrapped tightly around his forearms. The torso armor also sported a high collar.

This was Kamen Rider Rey.

"Guys...stand back." Decade said to his friends. They were about to argue, but upon recognizing the serious tone he had, they complied.

"So...are you ready for your ending?" Rey questioned mockingly as he pulled out a small blue fuestle.

"Not really. But let's try this instead!" Decade inserted a card into his Driver before closing it.

"KAMEN RIDE: KIVA!"

Rey watched as Decade transformed into an opponent from his past life: Kamen Rider Kiva.

"Tch...a nuisance." Rey inserted the fuestle into Rey-Kivat's mouth.

"WAKE UP!" The white bat said as it flew up and destroyed the chains around the Rider's wrists, allowing golden claws to unfold. Rey came in charging as he swung his claws overhead. D-Kiva sidestepped the attack and punched him across the chest. He followed up with a roundhouse kick. To Rey's surprise, his opponent's fighting style was equivalent to the real Kiva. D-Kiva threw another overhead kick to knock him back down. The two riders were locked in combat as they moved to a street intersection.

D-Kiva decided it was time to end this fight as he pulled out another card and placed it into his driver before closing it.

"FINAL ATTACK RIDE: K-K-KIVA!"

"DARKNESS MOON BREAK!"

The chains around the rider's right leg broke apart as the gray wings unfolded, revealing its underside to be red with three green orbs on the shin. He jumped high into the air before diving back to the earth with his leg extended. Rey managed to shield himself using his claws, but he was still pressed into the earth. The attack left the Kiva insignia branded onto the ground. Rey somehow survived the attack. Although he was greatly damaged and may not last much longer.

"...Grgh! This is going to be somewhat difficult." The white rider grunted.

"Let's end this." D-Kiva was about to insert another card, but a new figure concealed by a black cloak appeared, cutting him off.

"Let me take this guy on Rey, you go back to Dark Decade." The clawed rider nodded in response before disappearing through a gray mirror.

The black hooded figure took out a dark gray deck with a black dragon's head emblem. He held it up into the reflection of a broken window, allowing a gray metal belt to form on his reflection before being transferred onto his actual form.

"Henshin!" The man slid the deck into the buckle, and black silhouettes appeared, layering over him three times before stopping, adorning him in a black bodysuit and black armor that was themed after a dragon.

He was Kamen Rider Ryuga.

"So...you're my next opponent?" D-Kiva asked as the Kiva card popped out of his driver before the image on the card turned gray. "Well, lets fight on fair ground." Decade said as he placed a new card into his driver.

"KAMEN RIDE: RYUKI!" Three rider silhouettes appeared before Ryuki stood in Decade's place. His new form resembled Ryuga's only his suit and armor was now red and silver respectively.

Ryuga growled in a feral manner in response. "All the more reason to kill you!"

"SWORD VENT!" Ryuga inserted a card into a slot in the dragon head located on his left arm. From nowhere, a black curved sword fell into the black rider's hand.

"ATTACK RIDE: SWORD VENT!" D-Ryuki inserted a card into his belt, allowing the same phenomenon to take place for him.

Both opposite riders were engaged in a sword fight. D-Ryuki was able to keep up with his opponent from his time using swords in the virtual world. The Red rider knocked the black rider back before using a new card for his driver.

"ATTACK RIDE: STRIKE VENT!"

A gauntlet appeared on D-Ryuki's arm and fired at Ryuga. He changed back to Decade and used the explosion to cover him and his friends. "Guys, we need to go! Now!"

The gamers nodded as they left the scene. While running, Asuna wanted to got back toTachikawa Studios to make sure her grandfather was alright. But upon arriving, they met with Tsukasa once more.

"I've seen your fighting. And I've got to say...you didn't do too bad." He said in a condescending tone, making it hard to understand if he was sarcastic or not.

"What are you doing here?" Decade asked.

"One, I came to drop this off for you." Tsukasa stepped aside to present the machine Decader. "Two, to let you know you are able to use the studio to travel to the other worlds,"

"Wait, what!?" Everoyne else cried, but Tsukasa ignored them.

"And three, I'm going to distract the Dark Riders here while you guys leave."

"But I thought you said you had no jurisdiction here." Decade countered.

"I did say that. But I also said I was going to point you in the right direction. Just think of it like that. After you're gone, I'm gone." Tsukasa then got out his own Decadriver. "Now, watch how a pro does it." He snapped the driver on and got his card out. "Henshin!" He placed it in and quickly closed it.

"KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!"

Decade and the others watched as Tsukasa transformed into another version of him. Decade ejected the card from his belt leaving only Kirito.

"So this is where you went!" Ryuga yelled as he found the group.

"Kirito, and the rest of you! Go!" The VRMMORPG players nodded before entering the studio, leaving Tsukasa to deal with Ryuga.

Back at the studio, Mr. Tachikawa was going through the news. The group slowly walked in; the elderly man stopped what he was doing and stood up. His eyes were drawn to a certain brown haired girl.

"Asuna!" he smiled cheerfully.

"Grandpa!" Asuna embraced her relative in a warm hug.

"Tachikawa-san, there is something..." but he held his hand up to interrupt the boy.

"Don't worry. Tsukasa-kun told me everything."

"You're not surprised?"

"Considering what is taking place outside, a stranger telling me what you are supposed to do now is hardly comparable. But if you and your friends can do something to save the world. Let me know what I can do to help." He smiled.

"Tachikawa-san I can't thank you enough." Kirito smiled. But he saw a small figure hiding behind the elderly man's leg. He walked around and his face became one of shock upon seeing who it was.

"Kirito-kun? What's wrong?" Asuna followed Kirito's line of sight, and she was equally surprised at who she was seeing. Their friends did the same and had similar expressions of disbelief. Their attention fell on a little girl with long black hair and soft brown eyes. And it was someone they all knew well.

"Papa! Mama!" She smiled joyfully.

"Yui!" Kirito and Asuna rushed over and hugged the little girl. Their friends just stood there and pondered what was happening.

"This doesn't make sense. Yui is an AI right?" Reika asked. "How was she able to come here?"

"I guess when the boundaries collapsed, Yui was able to come here, just like Pina." Shino deduced. The small dragon chirped in response.

As Asuna was hugging Yui, Kirito went over to the chains binding a rolled up backdrop and let them down. A new background image appeared, showing present day Japanese city setting. Kirito went outside to see his attire was now that of a police officer's and that the studio was now in the city in the image.

From the radio on his belt, spoke a voice" Calling everyone on patrol. An Unidentified Life Form has appeared at the north sector. Giving orders on the scene is a member from the police Counter Unidentified Life Form department. On scene, follow the orders of the member from the Counter Department. Be careful not to get close to the Unidentified Life Form. Try not to get hurt or into any accidents. This is all from police HQ."

As the broadcast was relayed, Kirito saw police cars speeding by him.

"Kirito-kun!" Asuna's voice snapped him out of his train of thought.. He turned and saw her and their friends run up to him. They were still clad in their avatar equipment.

"What's going on here? Did we teleport or something?" Ryotaro inquired as he looked at the scenery.

"Papa, what's happening?" Yui questioned.

"The scene inside changed to moving police cars in the city." Keiko brought up.

"I'll explain later. But it looks like I have a job to do right now." Kirito turned around and mounted on a white bicycle in front of the studio and followed the vehicles.

"Wait-!" Asuna tried to stop him, but he was already cycling away.

"Let's go after him!" Andrew advised. With that, they all followed Kirito

(Elsewhere)

At the City Park a hermit crab monster was currently killing all SWAT team members. A tall muscular man with gold eyes and spiky red hair got on the radio.

"Unidentified life form #7 confirmed! Kanade, can you hear me!?" Nearby a young woman driving the TryChaser 2000 and soon arrived at the location. She removes her helmet, revealing a young woman in her late teens or early twenties. She had dark red eyes, light skin, and long fluffy red hair that falls down to her waist. Her name is Kanade Amou.

Kanade sees the monster attacking the spiky haired male.

"Genjuro!" Kanade exclaimed before summoning a belt. The belt was silver, had multiple buttons on it, and a red gem in the center. This was the Arcle. She performed a hand movement and pressed the side of the belt.

"Henshin!"

The belt soon starting making a beeping noise as Kanade's body was completely consumed by armor pieces. Her chest had red armor, red shoulder guards, red anklets, and black tights, gold anklets around her legs, the Arcle, and a helmet that had red compound eyes, silver mouth piece, and a yellow horn. Her armor was made for a female as it emphasized her figure. This was Kamen Rider Kuuga.

Kuuga charged and punched the monster. She was soon ready for combat.
