Qualifications of a Rider (Part 2)

Otherworld Rider has a very troublesome characteristic: if it is not defeated by the power of the corresponding Rider, it will revive countless times, and each time it is stronger than before.

However, there is an awkward problem: the original rider will lose its power when facing Otherworld Rider, so the idea of using the original to defeat the pirated version is not valid—if the writers of "Kamen Rider Zi-O" did not retconnive later on.

Otherworld Rider is a monster that appears in "Kamen Rider Heisei- O", the final work of the Kamen Rider Zi-O. The protagonist, Zi-O, can obtain the Rider Rider Watch containing the power of Riders who have lost their powers, and use it to defeat Otherworld Rider.

PS: Heisei is an era name for an autonomous region in Japan.

However, she hasn't found the Build's Rider Watch on herself yet, and she doesn't know where Tokiwa Sougo Kamen Rider Zi-O user in this world, is. Fortunately, she hasn't completely lost her power, but it's a bit unstable.

That's understandable. After all, the birth of Otherworld Rider strips away the original Rider's history. She came here from the Honkai World as Build. No matter how strong the Otherworld Rider's power is, it's impossible for her to chase after someone from another system, right?

Honkai World -

Sento stared into thought at the red and blue Knight Watch that had suddenly appeared in his hand. When he had just created the new world, had he picked up one that looked very similar? But that one was printed with Cross-Z, while this one was Build.

Hey, speaking of this, Sento suddenly felt like he remembered a memory that should have disappeared.

No, rather, it's the memory of "Kiryu Sento" from another timeline.

"Strange, I can sense the power of Build from it, but why does it feel different from mine?"

Knight World -

Exhausted, Yukio was unable to transform again to fight. Facing the resurrected Another Build, she didn't even have the strength to stand up. The several bursts of power in a short period of time had taken a heavy toll on her, not to mention transforming into Dragon Lock Form in her current body. She needed a good rest to barely recover, but now...

"So, if it were the old me, I wouldn't have any concerns at all... but this body's fragility is really infuriating!" Sachi slowly moved her body. She had no strength to resist now. If she forced herself to transform, she would probably suffer a setback.

But being humiliated is better than trying to physically fight a monster and getting beaten up instead, right? At least you have armor to block the damage.

"(Looks like I'll have to use the Kaslana Family's secret technique!)" Sachi secretly hid the Smoke Gun behind his back, preparing to slip away to find Ryuga and the others for help.

However, if you encounter Otherworld Rider, the Riders of the same series as the original Rider will also lose their power. If you go to find Ryuga and the others, wouldn't that harm them?

She was stunned for a moment, not knowing what to do. It was in this moment of hesitation that she missed the best opportunity to escape.

"Hmm!"

The strange man's rough, large hands, like a pair of iron clamps, mercilessly gripped the girl's slender neck, lifting her up with tremendous force, even though Xing's weight was light enough that an ordinary person could easily lift her.

P. S.: This applies to all forms, regardless of gender. However, if you try to hug him for no reason, he'll beat you up.

The fear of suffocation surged into her mind, but she managed to calm down in the face of this life-or-death situation. After all, death was an old friend to her, having hovered on the brink of death many times.

Instead of killing her, Another Build tilted its head and carefully admired the girl's face, which was twisted and deformed from pain, before casually tossing her aside. The Idol Rider's body crashed heavily to the ground.

"It hurts a bit..." Xing felt like her body was falling apart. She tried to stand up, but her already weak body was even more unresponsive. The Smoke Gun she had just been holding slipped from her hand during the attack. She was really in a terrible state now.

Like a hunter toying with its prey, the Another Build slowly approached her, its mutated zombie compound eyes flashing with a chilling light.

"Ready Go!" Drangonic Finish!"

The blue and gold Dragon Knight roared and leaped out from nowhere, delivering a powerful knight kick to the abdomen of the Another Build, sending it flying into the air and turning it into a brilliant firework.

"Hmph, what kind of monster is this? How dare they bully such a cute girl! Shameless!" The drunken Banjou Ryuga sneered, and was about to rush forward to check on the attacked Sachi when he heard her shout at him, "Watch out! That guy can come back to life!"

"Huh?" Before Ryuga could react, the reborn Another Build descended from the sky, and the parabolic Rider Kick, which originated from the same source as the original, accurately hit Cross-Z. Poor Ryuga rolled a few times on the ground, and just as he deactivated his transformation, he rolled next to Sachi.

The girl silently covered her face. Good heavens, why does this scene feel so familiar? And it's happened more than once or twice!

Kane was being brutally beaten by the enraged Natasha in the Honkai World, suddenly felt a chill. "Shopkeeper, Luming disappeared suddenly, don't blame me for it!"

The gray-haired older woman snorted coldly, "As a boy, it's one thing to not protect her properly usually, but this time you actually lost her right under your nose? After I beat you up, I'll personally go to the St. Freya Academy and see if that Lobster Doctor has figured anything out!"

—Let's have a moment of silence for Kane. Oh well, he'll be getting beaten up a lot anyway, so I guess I won't feel bad for him.—

The Another Build shook its head, and after taking a clear look at the scene before it, it pointed to itself, "I am Build." Then it pointed to Ryuga, "You are Cross-Z."

"We are Best Match".

Ryuga's eyes widened, his bewildered expression quickly turning into fury. "Who's your best partner? The only one who can be my partner is Sento!"

Xing, who was standing next to her and had her mouth full of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection), gave a thumbs up, saying that the Rabbit-Dragon couple is just too adorable!

Cross-Z Magma!

Scalding magma surged forth, accompanied by the cracking of black rocks, and Cross-Z in its Magma Dragon Form made a grand entrance, smashing Another Build to the ground with a single blow. A deep crater was created by the enraged Banjo's punch. Sachi, who was almost hit by the blast, looked up at Grease, who was holding her in a princess carry, and blinked after feeling something strange on her butt. "Hey, old man, where are your hands?"

"M-Uncle?! I'm not that old... Ahem, sorry, my mistake, Little Sister Luming, don't overthink it. Besides, I can't feel anything through the armor." Kaito awkwardly put her down, his gaze falling on the torn fabric at the girl's chest. "Leave this to the three of us. You go and rest for a bit, and change your clothes while you're at it?"

Bang!!!

P. S.: There's no character breakdown here, after all, that's just a man's nature... ahem. Besides, it's just a glance, it's not a big deal, luckily it's just a torn coat.

Himuro Gentoku, who was standing next to him, silently turned his head and dragged Ichikai, who was in a state of depression after being slapped by Kaito, to join the battle.

Grease Blizzard!

Prime Rogue!

The three idiots all transformed into their strongest forms. Kaito, couldn't get up because his younger brother was too drunk, so he could only use the Blizzard Gauntlet to hold on. However, it was more than enough to fight the Another Build, since the opponent only copied the power of the basic Build.

"Hey, Banjo, Little Sister Luming just said that this guy can resurrect infinitely, and each time he's stronger than the last. Let's restrain him first!" Kaito shouted to Ryuga after flipping Another Build to the ground with his pincers.

"Learn!"

Ryuga nodded knowingly, then delivered a powerful punch to the back of Another Build's head, knocking it unconscious. He then grabbed it and flew into the sky, shouting, "Watch me throw this guy into space to keep Evlout company! Wait for me a minute, leave me a chicken leg, but don't eat it all!"

The two watched from the ground as Ryuga flapped his little wings and flew into the sky Ryuga exchanged a glance, their eyes filled with a strong sense of homoeroticism... oops, I mean, a clash of fighting spirit.

"Hey bearded guy, where did the fight take us?"

"Potato Man, the current record is 44 wins and 44 losses."

"Alright, let's go back inside and continue! By the way, where did Little Sister Luming go? Was she hurt?"

As the two were searching for Xing's figure, they suddenly felt weak, and their armor began to appear and disappear intermittently, their strength becoming unstable.

"What's going on?! ×2"

At the same time, Ryuga fell from the sky with a wail, and a strange man with Rocket Head carried the almost thoughtless Another Build back to the ground. This man had the same art style as Another Build, making his identity self-evident—

Fourze!

The alien Fourze bent over stiffly, then raised his hands to the sky and numbly shouted, "The universe is here."

Yuki, who had witnessed this from behind, grew increasingly grim. "Another Otherworld Rider..."

She looked at the Rocket Full Bottle in her hand. Damn it, she hadn't collected all the Fourze Knight Combination yet. What should she do now? Should she go find the Fourze user of this world, Kisaragi Gentaro?

"Hey, Banjo, are you alright?" The two had just helped Ryuga up, whose head had been knocked unconscious, when a red shadow flashed past the three of them, knocking them to the ground almost simultaneously with incredible speed.

Xing's eyes widened. "How could that be?! What is that?!"

Kabuto!

The alien Kabuto stopped in its tracks, its hideous and ugly face emerging from the darkness, making it hard to connect it with the knight who had pointed to the sky.

"Since it's Kabuto, then I can defeat it!" Sachi gave herself a shot of adrenaline, then took out the Unicorn Beetle Full Bottle and the Watch Full Bottle, inserted them into the driver, and a crisp sound effect rang out—

"Beetle! Watch!"

Anxious and distraught, Xing failed to notice anything amiss and quickly turned the lever, causing the conduit to extend and construct a golden-gray knight's half-armor in front of and behind him.

As she shouted "Transform!", the girl transformed into the Rider Build Unicorn Beetle Watch Experimental Form amidst a dazzling light.

PS: This is not the optimal combination or a special form. The only transformation sound effect is the announcement when the bottle is fully inserted.

"Alright, let's begin the experiment... Huh?"

Xing was stunned. She looked down in disbelief, and the night vision function allowed her to see her own appearance clearly.

She then realized that the belt had not announced "Rider Match" as usual.

"How could this be... Why, why can't I use the Knight Combination anymore?!"

"Same! Smapho!"

Same! Watch!

"Bat! Lock!"

Fox! Bike!

After a series of experiments, Xing knelt on the ground in despair, not understanding what had gone wrong.

"Could it be that this world doesn't recognize me as a Build? But I was clearly influenced by Otherworld Fourze, wasn't I?"

On the main battlefield, Ryuga and his companions are engaged in a fierce battle.

Influenced by Otherworld Fourze, their power is extremely unstable at this time, and not only that, the number of enemies is constantly increasing.

Otherworld W is flying in from afar on a whirlwind, Otherworld Drive is attacking the three of them with speed no less than Another Kabuto, Otherworld Faiz also appears at the most inopportune time, its Crimson Drill already aimed at Ryuga has no time to react.

At this critical moment, a sound like a camera shutter being pressed rang out, and the movements of both the genuine and Otherworld Rider on the scene froze, as if they had pressed the pause button while watching a video.

"Ready Go!" Vortex Finish!"

Build in its Unicorn Beetle Camera Form came to the rescue just in time. With a brief moment of control, its speeding drill repelled Otherworld Rider in front of the three, and then it quickly changed forms.

"Turtle! Watch! Best Match! Are you ready? The turtle chasing time! Turtle Watch! Yeah!"

The turtle shell on Build's left shoulder suddenly enlarged, opened, and put the three inside. The watch charms on Build's body began to spin rapidly, and they left the place at an extremely fast speed. After a brief pause, the Otherworld Rider's movements returned to normal.

—The Turtle Watch is an official design that hasn't been released yet; this is the ability I designed for it—

Build Turtle Watch

The tortoise shell on the left shoulder can be detached and used as a shield. There is also an unknown space inside that can be used to temporarily store some items. At the same time, this form has extremely strong defensive capabilities and some time control abilities, such as time deceleration and acceleration. It can be used on oneself or others, but its range cannot extend to the entire world.

PS: With sufficient development, a brief time stop can be achieved, but after using it once, the watch will enter a long cooldown period when it is full, and only one watch can be full at a time.

——Come back, come back——

After escaping to a safe place with Ryuga, the other two, and the Sanbagaras, the girl, whose strength was severely depleted, sat silently to one side, seemingly resting or lost in thought.

"Thanks for earlier, we didn't expect to be saved by a little girl. By the way, are you alright?" Kaito walked over with concern, waving his hand in front of her eyes a few times. "Are you asleep? You're still just a child, get some rest. Sigh, what bad luck, another new enemy has appeared, and such a strange one at that..."

As Kaito walked away, a long time passed before Xing Cai opened his eyes, his eyes filled with shame and anger at his own incompetence.

"I can only run away. If it were Mr. Sento, he should be able to come up with a solution and perfectly eliminate the enemy, right?"

She buried her head in her knees, wanting to cry but not allowing herself to. It would be too embarrassing to cry all the time. After all, you are a boy, and a man doesn't easily shed tears.

The preoccupied girl didn't notice that a dark vortex made of clocks quietly appeared behind her and silently swallowed her up. Before she even noticed it, she was taken to an unfamiliar wasteland.

When she noticed the change in texture beneath her and suddenly looked up, the shadow radiating endless pressure was reflected in her eyes.

The slightly overweight man rose gracefully from his throne, then bowed slightly to her. "Greetings, esteemed Native Order Emissary. This is our second meeting. Let me introduce myself. My name is Pandir, the Secondary Chaos Emissary. Envoy You Hui should have mentioned me to you before; do you recall me?"

"Just a lackey of Adacos." Xing looked at him disdainfully, but cold sweat soaked his back.

She could sense the dangerous aura emanating from the other person.

Pandir didn't care about her attitude towards him; after all, her attitude was even worse when he faced that Blonde Order Emissary.

"Did You Hui ever tell you about our first meeting?"

"Um?"

Pandir smiled slightly, slowly raised his right hand, and held the pitch-black Another Ohma Zi-O watch in his hand. Its ugly appearance completely crushed the last glimmer of hope in Xing's heart.

"You're kidding me... Ohma Zi-O?!"

Pandir was quite satisfied with the look of despair on her face and clapped his hands in praise, "Not bad. You Hui had the same look on her face when she defeated all her opponents and came to me. She thought she would face Odin, but she didn't expect to be facing an enemy she couldn't defeat at all."

"I really miss it. That was her first mission. I killed her best friend, whom she had made in that knightly battle, right in front of her. When I was about to execute her, that loyal mirror beast, just like her friend, took the fatal blow for her. Ah, the way she cried then, I should have taken a picture as a memento. What a pity."

Pandir spoke with such excitement that he gestured wildly, and his smug expression infuriated Xing. However, she was powerless to do anything about it, just like You Hui had been back then.

The absolute gap in strength is insurmountable; this is a dead end that even a miracle cannot save us from.

"This scene is just like that one, but the difference is—" Pandir glanced at Sachi and said slowly, "This time, Ohma Zi-O from the main timeline won't come to save the unawakened original god's messengers."

Ohma Zi-O!

The figure of Another Ohma Zi-O appeared in the gradually blurring vision. Fortunately, I saw him slowly raise his hand, as if crushing an insect.

But just then, an untimely sound effect rang out:

"Kame Rider——"

Decade!

A crimson knight emerged from the dimensional barrier, punching the Otherworld Oma in the forehead before even exchanging a greeting. At the same time, the mysterious boy who had previously warned Sachi reappeared, grabbing her from behind and disappearing with her.
