It's another day of school, the usual really, so it will be pretty boring.

"Good morning, Stephan!"

"Ah, good morning Mizuki. Full of energy as usual, eh?"

"And you aren't? You should sleep better!"

"Oi, I decide if I stay up playing video games or not!"

"You should try getting a good night's sleep though, it goes a long way in the long run."

"Yeah, yeah, I will try."

We soon separate, but promise to meet up during lunch, and I am soon in my classroom, getting greeted by Rui.

"Slept well?"

"What does it look like?"

"Haha, my bad, my bad, I were just going to see how you would react~"

"I am just so invested in this game I recently got, and I have already sunken hours into it..!"

"Not helping with us calling you a nerd!" One of the bullying hotshots butts in, with me just rolling my eyes.

"I don't think any of what you do would be any more interesting."

"Haaah, what's that? Trying to act big, pipsqueak?!"

The green haired bully gets up and begins walking up to me.

Rui is about to stand up and protect me, but suddenly...

"Oi, Naozumi, what do you get out of targeting Stephan?"

"Hmmm??" Naozumi lets out as he turns around and faces who just said that.

"Daichi?? Is this why you have been quiet this whole time, you think it's good to have this transfer student here?!"

"Yes, I do see it as beneficial in fact." Daichi says as he adjusts his glasses. "No point in arguing, you know I know my stuff~"

"Guh..!"

Naozumi glares at me before he sits down again, the other bullies sighing at him for not going ahead with doing whatever he would've done with me.

Guess I have Daichi to thank for that, I should perhaps strike a conversation with him when I get the time.

The rest of the day keeps on being normal, and soon lunch time arrives, and as we had promised, Mizuki comes to my classroom to eat with me.

"Mmm, I am actually a god at cooking..!"

"Mind if I try?"

"Of course, go ahead."

Mizuki takes one of the pieces of the food and eats it, with her also loving the taste of it.

"Oh man, it really is that great, yuuum!"

"Thank you, thank you very much!" I say as I pretend to be some sort of stage actor, just to add a little humor.

Always good to laugh after all!

But as we finish our lunches, we suddenly hear students screaming and rushing in the hallways.

"Huh, what's going on?"

"I don't know, but I am going to check. Stay here, Mizuki!"

"But I..." Mizuki begins to say before I grab my bag and am already away to check in case it isn't what I fear it is.

And as I arrive, it very much is what I feared; A kaijin.

But here, at a high school of all places??

No matter, I need to beat it up real quick!

Looking around to make sure no one is here, I reach into my bag and pull out the random driver I had chosen earlier today.

"...Eh?"

I look at the driver, completely clueless which one this is...

"I haven't practiced with this one, shit..!"

"Say no more."

"And Lavenza appears. So what the heck is this?"

"That's the Fourze Driver, however, I seem to not have given you any Astroswitches for it..."

"...So it's useless?"

Lavenza just sighs as she gives me four different colored objects, most likely the Astroswitches.

I insert them into the Fourze Driver before putting the driver itself in front of my waist, and it forms a belt around me.

"Next up, flick the switches on the driver!"

I flick down the switches on the driver, which in turns activates it fully as it initiates a countdown.

"3! 2! 1!"

It goes into a standby as I lay my hand on the lever and grin at the kaijin.

"Henshin!".

Pushing the lever forward, and putting up a hand towards the ceiling, an extreme airflow comes out from me as I have some strange lights enveloping me, all while techno music blares out from the driver, before I have soon transformed into a Kamen Rider once again.

"Whoa, I feel all of space rushing through my body..! IIIT'S SPACETIME!"

"The power of Kamen Rider Fourze! Now go get that Zodiart!"

"Say no more!" I say as I charge at the Zodiart, but it punches me through a wall with ease. "Ow..."

Well, I have had zero practice with Fourze, so I have no idea how to use this driver properly.

So I just wing it and try clicking on the yellow Astroswitch.

"Drill On"

Suddenly my left foot gets a drill attached to it!

"What the?! So that's what these are for, huh?"

The Zodiart approaches me, so I get up, though struggle standing with one leg being a drill.

"Have this!" I tell the Zodiart as I kick it in the nuts and begin drilling.

"HHHNNNG, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!"

"Doing what I do best, kick ass and nuts!"

The amount of force from me drilling the Zodiart makes it fly out the window.

"Alright, perfect!"

Running up to the broken window like a pirate with a wooden leg, I look and see that Zodiart stand up, so I activate the orange Astroswitch, due to it's rocket design.

"Rocket On"

And I very much get a rocket on my right arm, which I use to fly out, before I take aim at the Zodiart.

"Rider Rocket Drill Kick!"

"GAAAH!!"

Soon enough, the Zodiart explodes, but in the aftermath...

"E-Eh, is that a student from here?!"

"Yes, Zodiart is one of those kaijins that are people beneath using switches like yours, just like Malgams and Chemies."

"Messed up..."

Lavenza suddenly looks distraught, while looking around.

"I can feel more kaijins, but... They seem to be at different places."

She takes out a mini variant of what she uses to watch over me in the pocket dimension, most likely to locate the kaijins.

And when she does, her eyes widen, before looking to me with a very worried expression.

"There are several kaijins targeting all the schools in Tokyo!"

"What?!"

Lavenza shows me, and I recognize one being Arisugawa, and another seem to be Tsukinomori due to the uniforms they are using, among others I know some band girls and other people from.

"Damn it! Is this some sort of coordinated academy mass attack?!"

"Could be, because remember, two different kaijins did not hesitate to team up against you. So they might do this to draw you out."

"I can't just ignore that nonetheless, I need to save all the students!"

I detransform from Fourze and take it off, before I begin looking in my bag for what other driver or belt I took with me.

Grabbing onto one, I take it out, and it's the OOO Driver.

"Ah man, I swore I packed the Rider Belt with me..!"

"No fear, you can still manage as OOO!"

"Wait, how?"

"Just transform for now!"

Going for it, I hold the OOO Driver in front of my waist, put in the three medals and slide the O Scanner across them.

"Henshin!"

"Taka! Tora! Batta!"

"Ta-To-Ba, Tatoba, Ta-To-Ba!"

"Alright, so what now?"

Lavenza brings out another yellow medal, gives it to me and looking at it, it looks like it has a cheetah design.

"...Whoa, I get it!"

Taking out the green medal, I replace the slot with the cheetah medal, and slide the O Scanner across a second time.

"Taka! Tora! Cheetah!"

Now I instead have yellow legs, and feel much more energetic even! However...

"...Why didn't the driver do a song this time?"

"That's your concern??"

"I mean, you know, I like that little jingle. Tatoba, tatoba!"

"Mismatches doesn't have jingles. But that doesn't matter right now, go!"

"Right!" I say as I turn around and begin sprinting, intending on making sure I take down all the kaijins attacking the various schools around the city before they can do further harm!

I end up being able to almost instantly run to Hanasakigawa, were I can spot the members of Poppin'Party staying away from the kaijin, alongside the other students.

"Whoa, look, it's the Kamen Rider!" Kasumi excitedly says as she does spot me come running as I jump and dropkick the kaijin, hard enough to defeat it so it explodes.

After that I tackle some more kaijins on some schools before I reach Haneoka, were some other band girls I know are at.

"Ei ei ooh, Kamen Rider!"

Defeating the kaijin there, I keep on going, though I start feeling exhausted.

"Come on now, I must reach Tsukinomori and Arisugawa as well..!"

I also come by another high school that I am a bit unfamiliar with, that being Miyamasuzaka, but I defeat the kaijin there as well with ease, yet with some flaw, as I am progressively getting more tired.

Though the cheers do energize me to keep on going, because I need to reach Tsukinomori and Arisugawa, I cannot let absolutely anyone come to harm..!

And at last, I reach Tsukinomori, were I spot Touko and Tsukushi, but I also see Sakiko.

Though as I dropkick this kaijin, I feel myself not having much strength left at all, in fact, I fall short, landing right next to the kaijin.

"D-Damn it, I'm too tired, but I can't detransform here, everyone is watching..!"

"What's wrong, OOO, too tired to beat me up? Guess it was a good plan in the end to target schools around the city, hahaha!"

"So it was a coordinated attack, damn you!" I say before I take out the cheetah medal and put back the grasshopper medal, sliding the O Scanner across yet again.

"Taka! Tora! Batta!"

"Ta-To-Ba! Tatoba! Ta-To-Ba!"

"Alright, a second dose of the Tatoba jingle, time to kick ass!"

I fold out the tiger claws, and like when I fought the first time as OOO, I approach the kaijin to get in a good slice.

But it dodges out of the way the whole time..!

"Haha, is that the best OOO can do? Just how does the Yummies have a hard time against you?!"

The kaijin knocks me over, but I am quick to get up as I just shake my head, a grin forming across my face beneath my mask.

"Laughing already as if you have won? Then you are about to lose big time!"

Trying out another tactic after how my legs transformed last time, I intend to take advantage of that, thus I take the O Scanner and drag it across the driver.

"Scanning Charge!"

My legs forms into grasshopper ones, but instead for aiming towards the sky to turn it into a Rider Kick, I instead position myself... to launch right into the kaijin.

"HEAD ATTACK!"

"WHAT THE?!"

I slam my head into the kaijin and both of us fly a small distance before we land on the ground.

"This is it!"

I get up and immediately jump high up into the sky and take aim with my leg to finish off the kaijin.

"You... truly are something else, OOO..!" The kaijin weakly says as I hit it and they soon explodes. "UUUUUUAAAAHH!!"

"Phew, alright!" I tell myself as I soon hear cheering, and it's the Tsukinomori students.

"Thank you, Kamen Rider!"

"You're the best, OOO!"

"Our hero!"

"Hey, hey, I am just doing what I want to do, and that is to protect people and their hopes and dreams!"

I do a thumbs up to all the students and bring out the Chemy card containing Golddash.

"Golddash, I hope you don't mind assisting me here this last bit!"

"Golddaaash!"

-------

As Stephan, still transformed as OOO, summons Golddash to tackle the last school in danger, Tsukushi feels like there is something familiar in what OOO said, meanwhile Touko is, to everyone's surprise, fangirling.

"Wowie, the Kamen Rider really is awesome! But Stephy definitely is way more awesome~!"

"Eh, Stephy?"

"The nickname I gave Stephan, isn't it cute, Fusuke~?"

"Y-Yes..!" Tsukushi replies to Touko, but suddenly feeling jealous, even if she doesn't want to feel such. "How can she already call Stephan a nickname like that, it's as if... they are really close, and when did that even happen... Then again, he did has his eyes only on Touko that day..."

"Futaba, is something the matter?" Rui asks the twintailed girl, but she just shakes her head.

"Oh no, it's nothing!"

Though Tsukushi goes back again to think about why OOO sounded familiar in his motives.

"Could it be that... No, probably not..."

Tsukushi shakes off the thought, thinking that in the end, it might just be a coincidence that the Kamen Rider and the boy she loves has the same motives in regards to wanting to help people.

"Just please be safe over at your school, Stephan..!"

"Don't worry, Stephy is a fighter!"

"'Stephy' again..."

----------

Soon having arrived at my destination, Arisugawa, I have Golddash enter the card again, and I decide to detransform, because... apparently there is no major panic here.

I look around, until I suddenly get a water balloon thrown right into my face, with it exploding upon impact.

"Well, that's one nice free shower..."

"Oh, it's Stephan!"

Turns out it was Kurumi, alongside Miiko, who had thrown that balloon.

"Nice greeting you got there."

"Sorry, that was meant for the monster that is roaming the halls~!"

"E-Eh, monster roaming the halls?"

"Yes, it appears and then disappears without a trace!"

"Huh, I see..."

Maybe it goes invisible, or something else entirely. Or Kurumi is just pranking me.

"So why did you come by here?" Kurumi asks me as she gives me a smug look.

Now, I can't say I am here to actually beat up that monster, but I come up with an equally good excuse.

"Oh, well, I have missed you very much, Kurumi, so I wanted to come by."

"E-Eh, you have..?"

"Indeed, I had a great time together with you last time after all."

"Hmm, what did you two do last time?" Miiko asks us as Kurumi begins blushing.

"W-Well..!"

"Look who's flustered now-"

*SPLASH*

"...Even more wet now."

"Just don't talk about that, Stephan, n-not here!"

"Gotchu then, but is it okay if I can sneak in and see that hall you mentioned?"

"Sneak in?!" I suddenly hear someone else say, and it turns out to be Haruna. "Not on my watch!"

"Uhoh, chairwoman is here!"

"I am not a chairwoman!"

"Haruna, let me explain-"

Suddenly, I stop as I feel like a hear a weird ringing in my ears.

"Gah..!"

"O-Oh, Stephan, are you okay..?" Haruna asks me as she becomes concerned over me being in pain all out of sudden.

"AAAAAAAAAHHH!"

We suddenly hear a loud scream coming from the school, and it's definitely a kaijin in there causing ruckus..!

"Shit... Coming through!"

I run past Haruna as she begins chasing after me.

"WHAT THE, DID YOU JUST TRICK ME?! COME BACK, YOU ARE TRESPASSING ON AN ALL-GIRLS SCHOOL!"

"Run away from the chairwoman, Stephan!"

Ignoring Haruna furiously chasing after me while Kurumi cheers for me to get away from her, I make my way inside and to the hall she mentioned.

And in the hall, there is a kaijin, currently trying to catch an Arisugawa student.

"Oh no you don't!" I yell as I jump up and do a kick on it, making it fall over.

"Run!"

"T-Thank you!" The student says as she runs away, while the kaijin... enters the mirror?!

"What the..!"

I soon remember one thing about one of the items I got from Lavenza.

Taking it out from a more hidden pocket in my bag, I hold the Card Deck in my hands.

"This should let me be able to fight that mirror monster, but it's going to get rough because I have no major guidance from Lavenza on this..!"

I hold it up towards the mirror and in my reflection, I can suddenly see the belt, the V Buckle, manifest and attach to my waist.

"Certainly a way to summon a belt..!" I tell myself before I look at myself in the mirror again, soon striking a pose I once again came up with on a whim.

"Henshin!"

Inserting the Card Deck into the V Buckle, it immediately transforms me into Kamen Rider Ryuki.

"Alright!"

"T-The Kamen Rider?!"

"Oh?"

I turn to who said that, and it turns out to be Haruna as she caught up with me, but of course, she wouldn't know it's me beneath the mask.

"Wait, is there a kaijin in the school?!"

"Don't worry, I will defeat it before you manage to say the hardest tongue twisters casually!"

I give her a thumbs up before kumping into the mirror, and Haruna witnessing that, she begins smiling.

"Kyaaa, I actually got to meet the Kamen Rider, here..! Anyway, where did that Stephan hide?!"

In the Mirror World, I find a strange vehicle in front of me, which I sit inside of as it works almost like an automated motorcycle.

Soon I am off on the vehicle as I pop out into a mirrored Arisugawa and in the same hallway as before.

Stepping out of the vehicle, I am feeling a bit creeped out over just how quiet it is, until the Mirror Monster almost hits me with a sneak attack.

"Whoa there, playing dirty tricks, eh?!"

The kaijin jumps away to hide again, and I begin chasing after it.

"Giving chase before the boss fight, typical cliché!"

I soon reach the cathedral part of Arisugawa, and the kaijin is right in the middle of it.

"Huh, you sure did choose a big enough space for us two to fight. Well, time to say your final prayers!"

I take out a card from the Card Deck, and look at it.

"Let's try if it is what it advertises!"

Opening the Dragvisor on my left arm, I insert the card and close it up again.

"Sword Vent"

And the very saber as depicted on the card materalizes and comes flying down, which I catch in my other hand.

The Mirror Monster comes jumping at me, but I slash it with the saber.

"Should've tried attacking me while I were still unarmed!"

"Grrrr!" The kaijin just hisses at me, so I assume this is a kaijin that doesn't know human language, even more reason for me to not hold back if there is no one beneath.

It takes out a sword as well and we begin clashing with them, though due to still being unfamiliar with how to fight as Ryuki, the kaijin hits me more times than I would personally admit.

"Man, this is really just pure strength, can't do much else with the V Buckle other than drawing cards..!"

I take out another Sword Vent card, but this one has the Blood Berry on it.

"What the, I can summon it here? Well, let's give it a try then..!"

"Sword Vent"

And very much like shown on the card, my beam katana is somehow summoned.

Though it appears to be way more effective towards the Mirror Monster, as it actually burns it from the spots I slash it at.

I kick the kaijin before I take out another card and insert it.

"Strike Vent"

A dragon head appears over my right hand, and a red dragon, called Dragreder, comes to me.

I bend down on my legs a little and pull back my dragon arm.

"Ha!"

Thrusting my arm forward, Dragreder fires a fireball at the kaijin, greatly wounding it.

"Gaaah!"

"This is it!"

The dragon head disappears from my arm as I draw a final card and insert it into the Dragvisor.

"Final Vent"

Jumping up so I almost hit the roof of the cathedral, Dragreder circulates me before I aim with a Rider Kick towards the kaijin.

Dragreder boosts me so my kick really hits good, and the kaijin explodes upon impact.

I land a little clumsy from the amount of force, but I nonetheless get on my feet again.

"Yeah!"

That went better than expected, but was a rather easy kaijin to deal with.

...Suddenly I see that I am starting to disintegrate.

"Huh?! Oh shit, guess I can't spend too much time here..!"

I run back to the hall, and go back into the mirror that was set up there.

Popping back out into the real world, I fall onto the floor while detransforming.

"S-Shit..."

"There you are!"

"Double shit..!"

Haruna rushes up to me before I even manage to get up, and she holds me down to make sure I don't escape.

"I really thought I could trust Miyu's words about you, but here you do the dumbest thing yet and rush inside a school you are not allowed inside!"

"I-I know, but-"

"No excuses, I am taking you to the principal-"

"Wait!"

Me and Haruna turn our heads to who said that, and it turns out to be the student I saved from getting snatched by the Mirror Monster.

"He actually saved me from a kaijin that jumped out from that mirror..!"

"Wait, he did? But I saw that the Kamen Rider was here!"

"...Kamen Rider Ryuki saved me because the monster took me instead!" I say, trying to take advantage of this in order for my identity to not be revealed.

"W-Wait, you got pulled into the mirror instead?!" Haruna says, shocked over what I just said.

"Yeah, was almost eaten, but the Kamen Rider saved me, and that's why I came out of it just now."

"I'm glad you are okay, but I got to thank Ryuki as well for being a hero saving my hero, hehe." The student says as she giggles, Haruna turning to look at me.

She soon let go off me, which surprises me.

"E-Eh?"

"...Well, you actually were here to save somebody, and you almost died because of that."

"But hey, it's fine, I still trespassed and all, I can take the punishment-"

"I said no! Just... don't do something like this again, leave that to the Kamen Rider to handle instead!"

"R-Right."

"...Don't just stand there, go! Otherwise the student council might spot you!"

"Yes, right away!"

I run out from the school building and run past the gates, before I catch my breath.

"Phew, oh man, that wouldn't have ended well if the student I saved didn't come around..!"

I stretch, but flinch a bit from the pain I feel on my chest from the Mirror Monster striking me before.

Well, at least it seems the school day is over for everyone, as I begin seeing many students go home, all safe from the mass attack, so I begin walking away from Arisugaws.

"I should head back and fetch my bag, plus I really need to eat, the amount of food I had for lunch was too little..!"

"Don't worry, here it is." Lavenza says as she appears suddenly as usual and she actually is holding my bag.

"Whoa, you're a lifesaver, Lavenza!"

"Heh, wanted to do something after all since how much you did today."

"Yeah, I am quite exhausted from it, but I am just glad many students are safe now-

Suddenly, we hear a familiar train whistle, and from nowhere, the DenLiner appears and stops in front of us.

"It's them again!"

"Ah shit, Momotaros is probably here for a round two!"

The door opens, but this time it's not Momotaros, it's instead a light blue Imagin.

"What the, who are you? I thought Momotaros was going to be here for a round two??"

"Ah, boss did want to do a round two at first, but I had to remind him that each of us want to fight you in order for us to evaluate if you truly can become Den-O."

"Oh, so if I really had just went on the DenLiner that time, I could've had all this not happen?"

"Indeed. Anyway, where are my manners, I am Urataros."

"Urataros? Well then, Ura, let's fight."

"But Stephan, you are weakened from all the battles today-!"

"Let me do this, Lavenza. If they want to fight me in order for me to get the Den-O belt, then so be it!"

"Determined to fight no matter what, I think I might like you already!" Urataros says as he steps down from the DenLiner, with it this time chugging away, just to not be in the way of our fighting.

He takes out the Den-O belt and put it around his waist, before pushing the blue button on it.

It goes into a standby, before Urataros takes out the pass to scan it to the belt.

"Henshin!"

"Rod Form"

He soon transforms into Den-O, this time with a completely different form.

"So the form changes depending on who is using it, huh?"

"That is correct. Now, mind if I reel you in?"

"I would love to see you try!"

I decide to use the OOO Driver, as it's the one I have with me currently that I am most familiar with at this point.

"Henshin!"

"Taka! Tora! Batta!"

"Ta-To-Ba! Tatoba! Ta-To-Ba!"

"It's on!"

Den-O takes the tools from the belt like Momotaros did, and arrange them into a weapon, this time a rod like one to fit his personal style of fighting.

Folding out the tiger claws, I run at him, but I should've known better because he can just easily strike me due to the bigger weapon..!

"Crap, I'm a dumbass! Or maybe if..."

I take out the grasshopper medal to replace it with the cheetah medal, and I once again slide the O Scanner across.

"Taka! Tora! Cheetah!"

I get up again and begin running around Den-O, who immediately gets disoriented from my speed.

"I wasn't told you had the ability to be fast..!"

Running up and punching him, Den-O falls back a little, before readying himself with the rod.

"Well, I will just need to reel you in like any fast fish~!"

And he actually manages to catch me with the rod?!

"The hell?!"

"Just being fast won't help, OOO."

Slicing out from the string, I begin running again at him, but he manages to strike me with ease.

"Shit, he can read me already. Am I that damn predictable?!"

"No, Den-O is just experienced." Lavenza tells me as she brings out two green medals.

"Huh, more medals..?"

"These two are the last ones I have on hand, but it might help you for a bit. Just... be careful."

She hesitates a bit before giving me them.

"...Ah, these two can make a combo with grasshopper!"

I take out all the medals before inserting solely the green ones in their respective slot, and yet again slide the O Scanner across.

"Kuwagata! Kamakiri! Batta!"

"Ga~ta Gata-gata-kiriba! Gatakiriba!"

"Oh?" Den-O says in surprise over my new form.

"Well then, let's see how this goes!" He soon says as I chuckle myself.

"Oh yeah? Well, you better be prepared!

I finally get up and run at Den-O, immediately beginning to split into several duplicates of myself, without me thinking much about it.

The more fighting power the better!

"W-What?!" Den-O says in shock as he prepares his weapon, but all my duplicates throws him off greatly.

Each of the duplicates, including me, get in a hit on Den-O, before we all stop and do the same action with picking up the O Scanner and sliding it across the OOO Driver.

"Scanning Charge!"

The legs of me and my duplicates transform into grasshopper ones before we jump up high, and dive towards Den-O, each of us hitting him until he flies back far from the amount of force from all the kicks.

"Uuuaah!"

Den-O's belt falls off and detransforms, leaving Urataros defenseless.

"I see now..! Well then, be prepared eventually once Kintaros and Ryutaros will want to fight you..!"

The DenLiner zooms by and picks up Urataros, while I take and detransform, but suddenly feel even more exhausted, going onto my knees on the ground.

"Fuck, I think I am fully drained from today, no more kaijins for now, please..."

"Any other combos that isn't Tatoba will greatly exhaust you when you use them, so you will need to be careful when it comes to OOO."

"Eh, I will get used to it, as long as I have the power to help people in need, that's what counts to me..!"

"You have saved a great amount today, so for now, you should rest."

"Y-Yeah..." I say as I get up again and smile.

"Aight, let's go home then!"

----------

Meanwhile, someone is spying on Lavenza and Stephan from afar, before clicking with his tongue.

"You can't be serious about the OOO Driver having ended up in a high schooler's hand!"

He slams his monster like arm into the tree.

"And just who does that little girl think she is?!"

He turns around and begins walking away.

"I need to get it back, or else that kiddo might as well be set for doom..."

To Be Continued.
