Kamen Rider is the Villain in Pretty Cure Chapter 37

Ash also saw that, supported by giant mechanical tentacles emerging from the bodies of flowers that had transformed from unknown things, more giant Enders were surrounding them.

Missiles, Dark Blasts, Burning Lasers, Freezing Rays, and the deadly weight of a tail whip—countless enemies, along with the Tyrannosaurus Enders, unleashed attacks that reduced the buildings around Ash to useless rubble, nearly burying him and the mechanical Tyrannosaurus.

This dark corner of a time-frozen Earth, with the incessant roar of cannon fire and explosions, had become a deathbed battlefield.

If it was a product of Hana's imaging, then their powers should be the same. Even the "fake" backed by Rampage Energy possessed an endless reserve of power, making its overall strength far superior to Ash's V-Rex. But!

"V-Rex!" Ash continued to issue commands. "Show time!"

The giant steel Tyrannosaurus leaped and dodged between buildings as if performing a tap dance. With the combined efforts of the Super AI V-Rex and Ash's command, its performance was far more agile than the opponent's saturation bombardment. It evaded all attacks and, for a moment, managed to outmaneuver the enemy completely.

"Beings with life will always move forward."

Yesterday's data—insignificant!

Crushing an overpass beneath its feet, V-Rex leaped into the air. Mid-flight, it spun with incredible rotation like a fireball descending from the heavens. Its metallic skeleton transformed into a whirling top, smashing the fake and its surrounding lackeys into explosive debris.

"Input transform code! Voice Formation go ahead!"

Pressing the leftmost button on his arm-mounted command unit, Ash issued his ultimate, most powerful secret command.

"Voice Formation, V-REX ROBO!!!"

Let me show you the difference between a fake and the real thing!

"ROOOOAR—!!!"

The mechanical Tyrannosaurus roared mightily, emitting bright light like solar flares from the gaps in its armor. A grand and magnificent mechanical device quietly awakened.

It's only natural that a machine dinosaur can transform.

The two giant steel legs supported V-Rex as it reared its head back. Its low posture indicated it was slowly rising from its original position. Its small forelimbs folded backward, and its right hand with a rotor structure and its left iron fist transformed, rotating from its back to its front with the mechanical grinding of massive gears. Its proud Tyrannosaurus head folded downward, fitting into the gap in its chest.

What was hidden behind its neck was a triangular crown-like structure that stretched open, revealing eyes beneath that were as determined as those of a flesh-and-blood human—luminescent rays that seemed to dispel the darkness, the face of a machine god!

What transformed was a half-dragon, half-human standing form, a colossal mass of steel, a giant iron body forged and honed by some will.

The crimson surging on it was the form of true flowing flames. Its sleek and aesthetically pleasing mechanical lines, along with the giant steel tail behind it, further emphasized a certain ferocity.

This was Time Fire's ultimate weapon, the final and strongest form of V-Rex after transformation, a walking iron giant of humanity, [V—REX ROBO]!

The Enders, only reaching up to its knees, swarmed forward, even trying to climb up its joints to pull Ash down.

"THUD—"

The ground beneath its feet split in two with an immense, powerful, earth-shattering force! Darkness shattered wherever it went! Lava-like infinite light erupted!

"BOOM!"

Its raised left fist and the torque of its waist joint roared in unison, smashing forward with a world-ending sound. It instantly melted the head of the dinosaur-shaped enemy before it, blowing its head off with a single punch!

"So this is its strongest formation... It's my first time seeing it, but it's not bad!"

Standing beside the machine's neck, gripping the handrail, Ash's chest was filled with surging fighting spirit.

Commanding a giant robot just to save the one he loves... What man or woman wouldn't be stirred by such a feat?

"In that case, there's no reason to lose! Let's go, V—REX ROBO!!!"

"ROAR—!"

One person and one machine charged headlong into the gathering darkness without looking back!

[Extra Chapter]Case File 76 A Multiple Choice Question With No Options

The darkness was burning.

Within the darkness, burning and flowing, was a shimmering moon like a mirage—and a giant shadow.

In the darkness, the flickering figure grew more intense and substantial, until it became something that truly existed.

It stepped over the people frozen in time, unaware.

Upon the earth, burning like fire, it trampled the mist of darkness and crushed the monstrosity before it into dust—a colossal being of overwhelming majesty.

Descending clad in the raiment of destruction, reborn in fire, a steel giant had arrived in the world.

The flames of battle still burned.

Like an entire army of self-propelled artillery, the cannons all over its body opened fire in the flames. The violent air pressure changes compressed into a fierce gale, merging with the crackling lightning and thunder overhead, blowing away the colossal, non-human darkness before it.

Buildings shattered and scattered into rubble on the road, and the wreckage of exploded vehicles was swept up by the gale, swirling and scattering like fallen leaves.

The giant robot advanced step by step, getting closer and closer to the towering dark spire, closer and closer to the location of Nono Hana's true form.

The earth shook, the wind howled, and Ash's ears were filled with the roar of explosions.

The future maintained by love that moved forward protected his will, and the Dark Echo transformed from Rampage Energy kept his body strong.

At this moment, he himself didn't notice that a certain cycle had begun within him.

Simultaneously, Ash, standing atop this steel giant, seemed to hear a sound that touched his soul.

What he could hear was a sound like the wind wailing "woo woo~" from the bottom of his heart, a sound that brought deep sorrow... Is that crying? Hana, are you crying?

"Don't cry too soon, Hana."

The closer he got, the stronger the resistance became. The ordinary Enders, only a few stories high, became fewer, and more Raging Enders comparable in size to his own appeared. The V-Rex was not an invincible steel fortress, and without the luxury of taking his time, he had to get closer even faster.

"Hana, these dark forces are not your friends. They are truly things that should not exist in this world—"

Several Enders, sent flying, were pummeled by the robot's heavy fists, rolling across the ground. They gouged through several surrounding buildings, continuing to roll despite their battered state.

The thrusters on its feet and back ignited, leaping over the collapsed building ahead. More and more Enders watched as this walking, humanoid steel machine, its eyes shining with fighting spirit, fixed its gaze on all unnatural beings.

This brilliance might even make one think this colossal entity possessed self-awareness. Or was that just an illusion?

"Hana, don't say anything, and don't be afraid." Ash pressed the leftmost button, his eyes under the protective goggles trembling as his eye scanner rapidly locked onto all targets. "The specters you fear... I will defeat them!"

"Revolver Missile!"

The revolver mechanism on the machine's right arm lifted, emitting a heavy roar. As the cylinder spun and deafening explosions erupted, six muzzles consecutively spewed flames. The incredibly massive, destructive reaction rounds accurately struck the deepest part of the monster horde, blasting open a path forward!

The flash of the bombardment once again dispelled the darkness, illuminating the entire nearby street as if it were noon.

The V-Rex robot swiftly passed through the obstacles before it, just before being completely engulfed by the storm of explosions and flashes mixed with anger.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—" As if sensing something, and to stop the entity before him, Ash saw the increasingly approaching tall tower thrust mechanical tentacles of various sizes towards him. These, separated from Hana's main body, were trying to knock him away.

"Hana, watch this!"

Mimicking the action of the robot at his feet, the steel giant and the spirit of steel controlling it let out the same roar.

"I'll prove it to you now, these are monsters with no relation to you!"

His massive left fist, raised and arrogant, aimed at all the obstructions before him.

"Rex Punch!"

Burning with flames of annihilation, flowing with the lightning of divine wrath, as if a heated knife cutting open a can full of butter, the flying fist, propelled by flames from behind, tore through the tentacles wherever it passed, melting them into a pool of twisted darkness. Ash earnestly saw the trace of "Nono Hana."

"Beep beep beep beep—"

As Ash maneuvered the machine to dodge attacks and conserve energy for continued advancement, an unexpected interruption to the communication within his helmet made him frown.

Setting aside how communication from the future was even possible in this era, who could possibly be contacting him so suddenly at this point?

After a moment's thought, watching the flames around him gradually diminish, Ash answered the call.

"Hello, are you there—Ah, it's good that you could connect."

"Who are you?" Ash frowned even lower as he looked at the comical old man on the other end of the communication, who wore a polite expression and had dressed himself like a circus performer. "I don't remember knowing you."

"We are indeed meeting for the first time. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Dr. Traum." The old man on the other end did not protest Ash's rudeness but continued, "I was the teacher of the man you just hit. I originally intended to take him back, but now I can only carry him away."

"Oh, so the elder comes after the younger? Fine, if you're looking for trouble, come ahead. I don't mind adding another opponent to be defeated by me right now."

"No, it's not like that..." The doctor on the other end removed his hat and placed it on the face of the bandaged man on the ground who was about to speak. "If your violence can teach him a lesson, that would be good. However, what I want to ask is, this world is nearing its end. Are you really going to force salvation?"

"The multiverse and parallel universes are vast, but Hana's world is only this one," Ash said after a moment of silence. "And, the Hana I know is only this one."

"Then, listen carefully. There is indeed a way to save the world now."

Dr. Traum's expression turned serious as he spoke to Ash.

"The current Cure Yell has gathered the Rampage Energy of the entire world. In other words, she is the agent, the jinchuriki, of the Rampage Energy. This means that the originally dispersed Rampage Energy is now concentrated within one woman's body."

"But this is also a rare opportunity. If we can defeat the materialized existence of this Rampage Energy, then this world can be saved!"

"Then, I'll sacrifice the entire world to save just Hana." Ash raised an eyebrow, choosing this without hesitation. After all, compared to this world, he was more familiar with Nono Hana alone.

"This isn't some galgame with branching paths where you choose between your lover and the world!" Dr. Traum exclaimed, his voice filled with emotion as he gazed at the eyes shining through the burning goggles on the other end of the communication, speaking with immense gravity.

"Both your Hana and his Hana have already disappeared."

"In this worst-case future scenario, the only choice you have is to watch her freeze and destroy this world."

"Or to save the world she loved, by—"

"Killing her."

[Extra]Case File 77 The Sky Falls for Love (4K Chapter)

Flying towards the endless darkness of the sky.

Ash remained silent, the only sound reaching his ears being the whistling of the wind from the thrusters.

No one knew what the man beneath the metal mask was thinking, but his heart was far from as calm as his outward appearance suggested.

Was it too late? Was "stopping" Nono Hana, who had become a living CPU, the only remaining method? Ash didn't know... No, Ash knew, he just wouldn't admit it.

"I won't give Nono Hana, Cure Yell, to anyone—"

Rather, at this point, asking him to give up Nono Hana... was he kidding? What did they think he was doing all this for?

"Absolutely not—!"

Nono Kotori held her mother, keeping vigil by their unconscious father's bedside. Having come to understand her sister and Ash's actions up to this point, she too was on the verge of being consumed by despair...

"?"

As if sensing something from afar, the girl looked up. The blonde and blue-haired women helping at the hospital also looked up, gazing towards the darkness that was about to engulf everything in the distance.

Was the rainbow they saw in the distance an illusion?

Mechanical tentacles formed from countless Rampage Energy supported her main body, lifting Nono Hana, the central unit, close to the sky for more efficient diffusion of the encroaching darkness. In the time Ash had struggled this far, nearly half the world had already been consumed by the frozen darkness.

The thrusters slowly concentrated and retracted. Standing on the roof of another dilapidated skyscraper, Ash finally reached the altitude corresponding to the main body Nono Hana had transformed into.

"Hana—Cure Yell, are you over there? Hana!"

Ash shouted towards the darkness that was about to materialize, receiving no response.

"Don't lose to such dirty tactics, show me your heart!"

Still, only echoes answered, no reply.

Then, Ash had no choice but to shift his gaze.

Upon the writhing tentacles was a streamlined body, like a flowing stream, nature's most perfect creation.

It was a monstrous entity that shouldn't exist, couldn't exist, like a flaw in the world yet it truly existed, larger than the 50-meter class V rex robo by half its size.

Composed of high-purity "Rampage Energy," it was dyed a color similar to steel, yet a substance different from iron.

A smooth, ketone body, with a head of exquisite beauty hanging from its neck, and two things that could be called arms on either side. This colossal being seemed to be imitating a human, or perhaps it was an arrogant fallacy born from attempting to copy "God," solely because behind this incredibly slender and beautiful form, like a "Venus" without a broken arm, there inexplicably sprouted a pair of iron, burning "wings" that were constantly flailing but held back by countless tentacles, unable to fly into the sky.

If it were imitating a human, those tattered metal wings on its back would be superfluous.

If it were imitating God, they would be too conspicuous.

But, at this moment, she was neither God nor human, but a "Doomsday Monster" transformed from the despair of infinite nightmares, named "Nono Hana."

That face, which was currently facing the V rex robo, and which Ash was watching as if it were a Kamen Rider... yes, Ash could only describe her expression as that of a Kamen Rider. The face on that giant head was undeniably a woman resembling Hana, yet it was expressionless, as if it had forgotten how to smile. All that could be seen were two patterns like "tears" extending downwards from where the eyes, devoid of pupils, were.

Ash looked at the "Nono Hana" who was so "beautiful" at this moment, clenched his fingers, and couldn't help but smile.

No further commands from Ash were needed; even with its eyes closed, such a colossal enemy would absolutely hit its mark!
