Oh yeah!
--Bang!
The instant Senba Gari gave the order, Takai Geki turned and raised the Sky Dome Gun-Cannon in his hand. Silver bullets shot from its muzzle.
Oh yeah!
--Clang!
The bullets struck the monster behind them. It was a massive iron beast covered in twisted patterns, crouched low on all fours with a savage face. The horn on its head was especially sharp.
Oh yeah!
[Roar!]
The beast's roar was like the signal of a starting pistol. Senba Gari and Takai Geki quickly buckled their belts around their waists. Now, they were just as they had been five years ago...
One, two, Jump!

...Come on, you're not going to lose, right?
"Honestly, this look always feels weirdly familiar."
Earth bullet--flying stone
--Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang...!
Spirit raised the Sky Dome Gun-Cannon first. Brown energy bullets poured out like raindrops, small but densely packed.
"Who knows?"
On the other side, Divine pushed off with his legs and shot forward like a cannonball. At the same time, he brushed his hand over the dial on the right side of his belt. It spun rapidly.
...I'm fired up. No brand (Do you know?)
[--Roar!]
Irritated by the relentless barrage of bullets, the beast roared furiously, but failed to notice a streak of white flash past its face.
FAZI,KABUTO,OOO,DRIVE,GHOST--
--Kamen Rider!
Amid the beast's heavy, unsteady steps, Divine moved like a phantom, nimbly dodging its stomps.
Wood bullet--entanglement
RYUKI,BLADE,DECADE
--Kamen Rider!
The green bullets Spirit had fired landed beneath the beast's feet. Vines formed from translucent green energy wrapped around its limbs.
At the same time, a row of light-made cards suddenly appeared in front of Divine. He charged straight through them, accelerating as the cards stacked together. The White Phoenix Falcon on his right arm, in its sword form, gave off a faint white glow and effortlessly severed the beast's limbs.
...(I'll) never let go.
With his powerful leap, Divine landed atop the beast's head. He turned upside down and slapped the still-spinning dial on the right side of his belt.
Then the White Phoenix Falcon on his right arm shifted into its fist form.
Everyone: (Oh yeah!) We'll cross the miraculous rainbow.
RYUKI,FAIZ,HIBIKI,KIVA,OOO,GHOST,EX-AID,BUILD--
--Kamen Rider!
The White Phoenix Falcon on his right arm, now in fist form, was enveloped in scorching flames. The fire blazed and scraped against the surrounding air, as if accompanied by a dragon's roar.
The beast felt a wave of heat above its head and instinctively looked up. What met its eyes was a flaming gauntlet.
--Thud!
[--Roar!]
The beast let out a cry of pain, but before it could recover, Spirit made his next move.
--Metal--Wood--Water--Fire--Earth--
Load!
Release!
Raising the Sky Dome Gun-Cannon, Spirit gathered five-colored light at the muzzle. The instant he pulled the trigger, a beam of multicolored light poured out.
At the same time, Divine, still in midair, slapped the dial on the right side of his belt, which had started spinning again.

RIDER--
"dream vision!"
A flying kick imbued with the power of twenty Heisei Riders came crashing down. The two surging torrents of energy completely disintegrated the beast.
--Boom
Oh yeah
"Phew--! That felt great! Total domination!"
"Seriously... But it was almost too easy to beat, wasn't it? Never mind, let's head back. They've probably been waiting a long time."
Amid the scraps left behind by the beast, a round sphere silently watched the two of them walk away.

"Ah! Nozomi, that grilled meat is mine!"
"Hehe, this is so delicious~"
"Honoka, you can have mine."
"Kotori, you can't keep spoiling her like that..."
"Can't you act a little more mature, Sis...?"
"Arisa, try these! I learned to make them from Brother Gari."
"Waaah... Arisa... you've grown up... They're so good... I'd eat them even if I gained ten pounds!"
"Eli, calm down, meow!"
"What kind of idiot sister are you?!"
"NicoNiconi~"
"Sis, did we imitate them well?"
"Yep!"
"...Someone doesn't seem to be in any position to say that."
"Ahhh~ I'm so happy~"
"Tsubasa, isn't this going to be hard on you?"
Madam, your spoon.
"Um... Cangqiong, could you stop calling me that? It's so embarrassing..."
It's impossible to get Cangqiong to change his way of speaking. |?ω?`)
--Ding-dong
Beep-beep--!
"Ziying, long time no see! Everyone, we're back!"
"Everyone, it's been a while~"
"Oh~ So the married couple who went traveling around the world finally decided to come back. How was it? Did you bring back anyone else?"
"Tsubasa!"
"My, these kids are just as lively as ever."
"Yeah. Speaking of which, that 'bet' we made back then still hasn't been settled."
"Hm? Where's the boss?"
"There, over there."
"What's up? Sitting here all by yourself?" Holding a glass full of juice, Takai Geki walked over to Senba Gari, who was sitting alone in the garden, gazing up at the stars.
"Nothing. I just wanted to sit by myself for a while," Senba Gari said, shaking his head.
"I see... It's been five years... We've been living this peaceful life for five years now."
"Yeah. Five years ago, we still used to spar here every now and then."
"Heh, back then, you were always dragging me into fights."
"Because if I didn't, you'd go out and stalk little girls again."
"Hey!"
"All right, all right, I'm joking... But time sure does fly." Senba Gari looked up at the night sky, dotted with countless stars. "In the blink of an eye, you two got married, and you, of all people, are about to have a kid..."
"I hope it's a girl."
"Who asked about the baby's gender, you lolicon..."
"Tch~ You scheming creep."
"But... marriage, huh..."
He tipped back his head and drained the juice in his glass, gazing at the stars in thought.
He didn't know when it had started, but he always felt that something was missing—especially over these past five years...
"Guess whose hands these are~"
Suddenly, a pair of slender hands covered Senba Gari's eyes. Behind him, he heard a voice more familiar to him than any other.
"Come on, don't mess around. Besides, I don't even have to guess to know who it is, (censored)."

"What lovely weather!"
Gari stretched in front of his house.
"It's rare to have such a relaxing day. I'll go for a walk. Phantom, keep an eye on the house!"
"Of course, Master. Bring me the latest game when you get back! ()?*."

Deep in the mountains, a car drove into the wilderness.
"The experiment failed again, huh?"
"That's become the norm. But this corpse is unusual. I heard that although the subject died, there's incredible energy inside it. That's why it's being transported here for further study. If we can harness it, our corporation will rule the Earth as easily as snapping our fingers."
