"I see..." Kuroda sighed as he leaned back in his chair, rubbing the back of his neck.

"A Rider is supposed to die if the HP gauge hits zero right? How come he didn't?" Jake questioned.

Currently, Jake; Hunter; Aiden and Laeticia had gone back to Genm Industries in order to fill in Kuroda on what had happened with Kirihara.

"Yes. If his gauge had hit zero, he should've disappeared... you said he had a blank Gashat with him?" Kuroda asked.

"Yeah. He also mentioned something about him having the data he needed." Hunter answered.

"What could he be planning..." Kuroda asked himself with a sigh. "By the way, where is Mr. Nelson?"

"He and Poppy stayed at the Child Home to watch over Seth." Laeticia replied.

"He said he'll call us if he needs us." Aiden added.

"I see... alright then. Boys, be on the lookout for Kirihara okay? I have a bad feeling that something game changing is about to happen." Kuroda warned.

The three boys nodded before they and Laeticia exited Kuroda's office.

After the four teens had exited the building, Aiden stopped walking, putting his fingers on his chin in thought.

"You good Aiden?" Jake asked.

"Yeah. It's just... what Kirihara said bugged me..." Aiden replied.

"I'll admit though... I never thought the four kids I met all those years ago would cause me so much trouble."

"Yeah... that is abit unsettling... how could he have known us before a few months ago?" Hunter asked.

"I don't know... I think it's time I do abit of digging into Kirihara and Kuroda." Aiden said.

"Sounds good. I'm going to head back and help Tyson out then." Jake told them.

"I'll go too." Laeticia added.

"I'm going to look around to see if I can run into Salty." Hunter said.

The four teens nodded at eachother before heading off towards their respective directions.

Que English Version of Excite

At the Legend Den, Aiden was occupied in his room typing away on his computer. Finding anything he can about Kuroda and Kirihara.

"Born in September yada yada... father died of heart disease that sucks..." Aiden scrolled through various websites before he finally started to hack into Genm Industries Server. "Lets see what I can find here..."

-----------------------------------------------------------

"You sure he hasn't mentioned any place in particular that's important to him?" Tyson asked Beatrice.

"I'm afraid not... he's been very cut off and reserved since he arrived." She replied.

"Just like I was..." Tyson said with a heavy sigh.

"Any luck finding out anything?" Jake asked as he and Laeticia entered through the front entrance and walked up to them.

"No... I hate to say it but we might have to wait till a sighting is reported..." Tyson replied.

Jake rubbed the back of his head in frustration in response to Tyson's answer.

"Where's Alice...?" Laeticia asked.

"She's actually in her Poppy Persona right now. She's in the other room playing with the children." Tyson told her.

Laeticia nodded and walked past the three others, heading towards the room Poppy was currently in.

"Those two girls are pretty." Beatrice said smiling at Tyson and Jake.

That comment caused the two boys to look at her abit peculiarly.

"I mean... yeah they are." Jake replied.

"Are two dating them?" Beatrice asked, causing both boys to blush.

"Wh-What!?" They asked in unison.

"Well Jake, you and that Laeticia girl seems rather close. So do you and that Alice girl, Tyson." She commented.

"We are not dating them!" Jake protested defensively.

"Yeah! Why would you even think that!?" Tyson added.

Beatrice giggled a little at the reaction of the two boys she raised. "Don't need to be so shy about it." She told them as she started walking away into the main room.

Tyson and Jake looked at eachother for a brief second before both let out a sigh and started walking in the same direction.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Aiden sighed as he continued looking through Genm Industries Data Server. Aiden's attention was then immediatly caught once he came across an encrypted file.

"This could be promising..." Aiden uttered to himself as he started rapidly typing away on his keyboard hoping yo break the encryption code.

After multiple failed attempts, Aiden slumped down into his chair, letting out an audible groan of annoyance. Sitting in silence, he tries thinking of what the code could possibly be. Aiden's eyes then widened when he thought if something. He immediatly sat back up and started typing the words: Project Rider, it fit in the code and Aiden pressed the enter key, hopping it worked.

As soon as the key was pressed, multiple files appeared on his screen. Aiden smirked as he started to look through them, skimming through each one. After coming across a file titled as "Development", his eyes widened in shock as he read through it.

"So that's how he knows us..." Aiden said to himself. He quickly skimmed through the remaining files and found multiple sources of information.

Aiden quickly downloaded all the files onto the a Flash Drive he had plugged into his computer. Once the download was complete, he removed it and his it in his desk drawer.

"I'm coming for you Kirihara." Aiden said as he grabbed his Console Driver and Gashats, exiting his room.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Hunter stuck his hands in his pockets as he walked around the city, keeping an eye out for anything Bugster related. Out of the corner of his eye, Hunter noticed that he was being followed. Suspicious of his pursuer, Hunter started walking towards an empty area that overlooked the ocean. Once Hunter reached the railing, he turned around.

"You know the idea if following someone is to not let them notice you." He said aloud.

As soon as Hunter finished his sentence, someone stepped out from behind a stone pillar. The person turned out to be a female around his age. She was slightly shorter than him with long black hair, slightly dark skin, and dark brown eyes. She wore a dark blue and neon green jacket that was open to reveal a black t-shirt featuring Solid Snake from MGS series printed on it and blue jeans. She had a galaxy backpack slung over her shoulders with pins of various video games on the straps.

"So you noticed me?" She asked.

"I did. Care to explain why you were following me? You're not some stalker fan are you?" Hunter asked as he walked up to her.

"No. My name is Nicole Syber. My friends just call me Nikki." She said, introducing herself with a smile.

"Wonderful, now why are you following me?" Hunter asked in an impatient tone.

"You're Hunter Blakely right? The defined King of FPS?" Nikki asked and without giving him a chance to respond she made a gun with her hand and pointed it at Hunter. "I'm here to take you down and steal your title!" She proclaimed.

Hunter's expression immediatly turned into one that said: Are you kidding me? Hunter sighed and rubbed the back of his head.

"Looks that's fine and all. I'm more than happy to game against you but at the moment I'm preoccupied with something important. So if you don't mind, I'm taking my leave." Hunter told her as he walked past her and left the area.

Nikki glared as she watched Hunter leave. "He doesn't remember me..."

-----------------------------------------------------------

Tyson watched as the children played with all the new toys and games he and his friends got for them. His attention was primarily focused on Seth however, who was still sitting alone against the wall.

"Kinda reminds you of how you used to be doesn't it?" Beatrice asked as she walked up to Tyson.

"Yeah it does..." Tyson replied before he started walking towards Seth.

Seth slightly looked up once Tyson stood before him and immediately put his head back down.

Tyson let out a small sigh before speaking. "Seth... listen... I meant what I said about knowing what your going through. I lost my parents too..."

Seth looked up at him a little once he said that. "You did...?" He asked.

Tyson nodded as he sat down next to Seth. "Yeah... I was about 4. My parents died in a car crash, I managed to escape the accident with minor injuries."

Flashback narrated by Tyson

Shows a 4-year old Tyson with a few cuts on his head being rescued by emergency response workers, testing my carrying him away from the wreckage.

"After I was let out if the hospital, I was admitted here. At first I just kept to myself and wouldn't talk to anyone. I even ran away a few times. All I did was sit by myself and create ideas for fangames since that's all I was interested in." Tyson's voice explained.

Shows the young Tyson being dropped off and led into the orphanage by Beatrice before transitioning to a scene of him running away with Beatrice chasing him. A scene of the young Tyson sitting by himself and drawing two game heroes, one colored in orange and one colored in teal.

"But one night... I accidentally ran out into the middle of the street. I froze when I saw car headlights coming. I would've gotten hit if Mrs. Flora hadn't quickly grabbed me and pulled onto the sidewalk." Tyson voice said.

Shows a scene of a rainy night with a young Tyson running out into the street and stopping when a car's headlights appear. Beatrice quickly grabs Tyson and pulls him back onto the sidewalk, hugging him and crying.

"Don't scare me like that!" She cried.

Flashback end

"I don't think I'll ever forget the look she had on her face as she hugged me, crying. After that I started to open up more and I even became friends with everyone in the orphanage. Eventually Jake, Hunter, and Aiden showed up and the four of us became inseparable." Tyson said as he looked over at Jake, who was playing a board game with one of the younger children. "What I'm trying to say is that you shouldn't close yourself off. I think your parents would you to try and be happy, don't you? Besides its Christmas anyway, I'm sure they would want youbto enjoy it." Tyson asked as he looked over at Seth who had some tears in his eyes.

Seth wiped the tears away from his eyes and reached over to his left side and grabbed the Elite Trainer Box Tyson had given him, holding it in his lap. "Do... Do you like Pokemon games too?" He asked quietly.

Tyson smiled and nodded. "Yeah. And I don't mean to brag but I'm pretty good Trainer." He replied.

Seth smiled a little and chuckled. "Me too."

"In that case maybe we should face eachother seem time, see who's better?" Tyson suggested with a laugh.

Seth nodded at him and smiled a little more. "What's your favorite?"

"Can't go wrong with a classic like Blastoise." Tyson replied.

"I like Blaziken." Seth said happily.

As Tyson and Seth continued watching, Beatrice smiled seeing Seth looking happy. Jake noticed this too as he looked over towards Tyson.

Unfortunately Seth had started to grab his chest in pain and fall over, orange static coming off his body.

"Seth!" Tyson yelled as he quickly moved closer to check on him.

This had caused Jake, Laeticia, Poppy, and Beatrice to immediately run over to them.

"It's Salty. He's active." Jake commented.

"Is he going to be okay?" Beatrice asked in a worried tone.

"Seth, I need to tell me a place that's really important to you! Quickly!" Tyson asked.

"Th-The park... th-theres a big a tree my parents and I always went too..." He groaned.

"That must be where he was heading the other day!" Jake said.

"I promise you that you'll get through this Seth. Jake, let's go!" Tyson said.

Jake nodded and the two males immediately ran out of the orphanage. Laeticia and Poppy were about to follow until Seth grabbed one of their legs.

"L-let me go to... please?" He begged.

Laeticia looked over at Poppy, who sighed. "You're staying with us though." She said as she picked up Seth into her arms and the two girls ran.

"We'll bring him back after Tyson and Jake win!" Laeticia said to Beatrice as they left.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Haha!" Salty yelled as he approached a large tree that stood in the middle of a park area, his lesser Bugster soilders spreading out and attack civilians as they ran in fear in terror.

"Hey ugly!" Tyson yelled as he and Jake ran up to face Salty.

"Tch! You two again!" Salty said in frustration. "You don't stop me from becoming complete this time!"

Behind Tyson and Jake, Laeticia and Poppy, who was carrying Seth his behind some smaller tress to watch the fight.

"Game on." Tyson and Jake shouted as they placed their Console Drivers onto their waists to activate them, proceeding to activate their Gashats in their respective signature manors.

"Mighty Action X!"

"Taddle Quest!"

As the start up screens of the two games appeared behind them, pink and blue data energy surged out from beneath the two as chest and brown 4x4 blocks flew out of the screens and placed themselves in random places in the area.

"Level Up Transform!" They shouted in unison as they slid their Gashats into the first slot on their Drivers, pulling the pink lever to the other side.

"Gashat! Game Start! Level 2!"

"Mighty Jump! Mighty Kick! Mighty Mighty Act~ion X!"

"Battle For Your Future, Fight For The Adventure! Welcome to Taddle Queeeest!~"

As the jingles for their Level Two forms played, the two boys glowed in their respective colored energy as the screen that displayed their Level Two Armor emerged from the screens on their Drivers, the boys fully transformed into their primary forms as the screens passed through them.

"The real game starts now!" Tyson yelled as he flicked his right wrist to the left.

"Game start!" Jake yelled as he placed the face of Gashacon Excalibur against his shield gauntlet on his left arm.

"Gashacon Breaker! Sword Mode!"

Summoning his primary weapon in its blade mode, he gripped it in his hand and charged towards Salty along with Jake.

"Get them!" Salty yelled, prompting the lesser Bugsters to charge towards the two Riders.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Kirihara smirked as he finished typed on his computer, moving back slightly to admire his work.

"Perfect." He said.

"What did you just finish?" Parad asked as he walked up from behind him.

"The begining of the Ultimate Game..." Kirihara said turning to Parad. "Go and collect Salty's data if he's defeated. I have to tend to one our little friends." He said as he stood up, the screen on his computer having sihilouettes of various Kamen Riders and the title: Kamen Rider Chronicle displayed prominently.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Tyson jumped into the air and landed behind three Lesser Bugster, quickly spinning around and slashing the three in the back to knock them away. Two more Bugsters charged at him and tried swinging at him, Tyson managed to dodge the attacks and moonkick flipped them both down.

Jake bent down and slid past a lesser Bugster, slashing at his leg to knock it down, leaving a trail of fire as he slashed. He then proceeded to back flip in order to dodge another Bugster's attack, slashing at it's chest multiple times with his sword, sending him stumbling back in defeat.

Salty had charged towards Tyson, swinging his arm in a left hook. Tyson managed to dodge the attack and elbow Salty back, followed up by a slash with his Gashacon Breaker. Salty managed to use his covered arm to deflect a few attacks but still got hit by a few. Tyson then elbowed Salty in the stomach to send him stumbling backwards.

"Time to match your level!" Tyson said as he pulled out his newly acquired Shakariki Sports Gashat, activating it.

As the start-up screen appeared behind him, the Sports Gamer Buddy Emerged from the screen and zoomed around Tyson as he closed the lever on his Driver and inserted the second Gashat into the second slot.

"Click to Close! Gashat!"

"Level Up! Transform!" Tyson announced as he pulled the lever on his Driver again, causing two screens to emerge from his Driver, displaying his Level 2 Armor when together and was absorbed by the Sports Gamer Buddy as it started merging with Tyson's Level 3 Armor.

"Level Up! Mighty Jump! Mighty Kick! Mighty Mighty Act~ion X! Alright Now! Bad! Bad! Shaka and Riki! Let's Go Shakariki Sports~!"

"This definetly looks WAY better on me than Kirihara." Tyson said as the Trick Flywheel searched from his right shoulder piece and went into his hand.

Tyson then tossed the Flywheel towards Salty, causing it to fly around the chef Bugster and strike him multiple times, causing him to get knocked down and roll into the ground.

Meanwhile; Jake was surrounded by Salty's Lesser Bugster soilders. He dodged attacks as they came at him, slashing his sword at their backs as they failed to strike him.

Jake jumped over a Bugster that rushed towards him, kicking the Bugster in the back to knock him down and using his shield gauntlet to block a strike from another Bugster. The Bugster that tried striking Jake was then suede my shot at and blasted back. Jake turned towards the direction the shot came from and saw Hunter in his Level 2 Form running in and shooting the Bugster soilders down with his Gashacon Magnum in its rifle mode.

"Am I too late to join the party?" He asked as he flipped over a Bugster and elbowed it in the face once he landed.

"Right on time! Where's Aiden?" Jake asked as he grabbed a Busgter and kneed it in the stomach before striking it in the back with his elbow to finish it off.

"Don't know. Probably back at the den!" Hunter replied as he shot down more Bugsters.

Tyson ran forward towards Salty and jumped, performing a roundhouse kick to Salty's face and sending him flying back.

After Jake and Hunter had defeated the Lesser Bugsters, they ran over to meet back up with Tyson.

"You two ready to end this guy?" Tyson asked.

"Let's do it." Hunter replied.

The three Riders than started to rapidly press the B-Buttons on their Gashacon weapons ten times. They each got ready as their weapons charged with neon colored energy, surging wildy.

Salty stumbled as he stood up before Tyson and Jake slashed their swords down as Hunter fired his rifle at the Bugster. Sending 16 slash waves and 8 energy blasts straight towards him, causing Salty to explode on impact to signify his defeat.

"That's game. Thanks for playing." Tyson said as he and his friends watched the smoke from the explosion clear.

Unknown to them, Parad stood by as he held a Gashacon Bugvisor in hand with the beamgun side pointed to where Salty once stood, absorbing the defeated Bugster's data. "Soon you'll learn we can't be defeated." Parad said with a sly smile as he disappeared.

Seth stared at the three Riders after Salty was defeated. Laeticia knelt down next to him and smiled.

"How are you feeling?" She asked.

"Alot better..." Seth replied quietly before he walked out over to where the large tree was.

Tyson, Jake and Hunter took noticed as they closed the levers on their Drivers and removed their Gashats, cancelling their transformation.

Alice and Laeticia joined the three boys as they walked up to where Seth stood. Seth placed his hand on the tree and smiled a little "Mommy... Daddy... I promise to keep going... for you."

Tyson smiled as he walked up to Seth and placed a comforting hand on the child's shoulder.

Hunter leaned towards Jake and whispered. "Did I miss something?" He asked.

Jake chuckled a little in response. "I'll explain it to you later man." He replied as he patted him on the back.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Aiden walked into the interior of an abandoned factory and stopped once he say Kirihara sitting with one of legs crossed over the other on a stack of steel beams. Kirihara smiled smugly as he stared over at Aiden.

"Well well... fancy running into you here Mr. Lance." Kirihara said.

"You think you're pretty sneaky don't you? It's unfortunate for you I'm a pretty good hacker." Aiden replied.

"Is that so?" Kirihara asked, leaning forward, resting his chin on his hand.

"I did some digging into you and your brother. You saying that you met us years ago didn't get past me. I know what you did... or attempted to do." Aiden said with venom in his voice.

Kirihara let out a small chuckle. "Did you now? So you know all about it huh?"

"I know about that so called 'Ultimate Game' of yours too." Aiden continued.

Kirihara briefly stayed silent for awhile before grabbing a small metal briefcase from behind him and walking towards Aiden.

"In that case... how about a deal Mr. Lance?" Kirihara asked.

"What kind of deal?" Aiden said as he crossed his arms.

Kirihara grabbed the case in both hands and opened it up, revealing the Dangerous Zombie Gashat.

"A new Gashat...?" Aiden asked.

"It's yours. All you have to do is join my side, and to sweeten the deal, I'll help you find your missing father. I'm a powerful man after all, shouldn't be that hard." Kirihara replied.

Aiden reached his hand out and grabbed the Gashat, holding it in his hand. Aiden then quickly spin kicked the brief case out of Kirihara's hand who just, crossed his arms after the case landed on the ground.

"Pretty stupid of you to let me grab the Gashat before I gave my answer. You've got another thing coming if you actually thought I'd join you. I'm making you pay for everything you've done." Aiden said angrily as he placed his Console Driver onto his waist to activate it.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Thank you boys so much for everything." Beatrice said as she smiled at Tyson, Jake, and Hunter.

"Don't worry about it. It's what we kinda do now." Hunter said rubbing the back of his head.

"And thank you Tyson for helping Seth open up." Beatrice said, causing everyone to look back over at Seth who was now actually playing with some of the other children.

"I'm glad we were able to help him." Laeticia said smiling.

"Yeah. Makes this whole thing worth it." Tyson added.

"You three have grown up so much... I couldn't be more proud." Beatrice said smiling.

"Thanks Mrs. Flora. We have to get going now though, make sure you and the kids have a happy Christmas." Jake said.

"You guys also. Make sure you enjoy yourselves." Beatrice said with a smile, waving as they all left.

"No wonder you four turned out so good. You had a woman like that raising you." Poppy said with a giggle as she and the others walked through the entrance gate.

"We're going to take that as a compliment." Tyson remarked, causing Jake and Hunter to stifle their laughter.

Suddenly, Poppy's cellphone had gone off. She quickly spin around to transform back into her Alice persona and answered the phone. "Hello? Mr. Kuroda?"

"Was that part necessary?" Hunter asked the other three in a whisper, causing them to shrug.

"What!? We'll be right there!" Alice said in a hurried tone as she hung up. "Aiden's Console Driver is active! Yes fighting someone!"

"There's only one Person he can be fighting..." Jake said.

"Where is he!?" Tyson asked.

"His signal is coming from the abandoned factory! Kuroda can't reach him through the communicator!" Alice replied.

"Lets get going now!" Hunter shouted.

The five of them then started to dash off towards the direction of where Aiden was located, praying that they wouldn't arrive too late.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Bakusou Bike!"

After Aiden activated his personal Gashat, the start up screens appeared behind him and yellow data energy surged out from beneath him as trophies flew out of the screen and placed themselves in random spots around the area.

Aiden spun around, spinning the Gashat in his hand till it pointed down. "Transform!" He shouted as he placed the Gashat into the first slot.

"Gashat! Game Start! Level 1! Super Game! Ultra Game! What's Your Name!? I'm a Kamen Rider!"

Aiden's body was surrounded in yellow light as he kicked his respective Rider Icon, becoming encased in his Level 1 armor in a flash of light.

"Now let's try this one out!" Aiden said as he activated the Dangerous Zombie Gashat.

"Dangerous Zombie!"

Aiden slid the Gashat into the second slot on his Driver and attempted to open the level but instead, purple lighting surged off him as black smoke started coming off his body.

Aiden groaned in immense pain as his Health Gauge suddenly dropped to two ticks.

"Wh-What is this!?" Aiden yelled as he dropped to his knees.

Kirihara chuckled as he walked towards Aiden. "You kids don't know how to handle REAL power." He said as he grabbed Aiden's helmet and lifted it up so he could looking him in the eye. "You're out of your league!" He said as he snatched the Dangerous Zombie Gashat away and kicked Aiden to the side as he stepped back.

"Allow men to show you how to really use this." Kirihara said with a smirk as he pulled out a black buckle pad and placed it on his waist, causing a silver belt to attach to it. He then proceeded to take out the Bugvisor and attach it to the buckle.

"Buggle Driver!"

"A new Driver...?" Aiden asked as he struggled to push himself back up.

Kirihara than held the Dangerous Gashat in his hand and activated it.

"Dangerous Zombie!"

The game's start up screens appeared behind Kirihara as purple data energy surged out from beneath him.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Tyson and the others were currently right outside the entrance to the factory. They all stopped in their tracks once they noticed the data energy surged past their feet.

Looking up they saw a bunch of Bugsters emerge from the ground, dressed in very torn and tattered clothes.

"Looks like Kirihara won't make it easy for us to help Aiden." Hunter said.

"Lets deal with these guys quick then!" Tyson shouted.

The three of them quickly grabbed their Gashats and activated them.

"Mighty Action X!/Taddle Quest!/BangBang Shooting!"

-----------------------------------------------------------

Kirihara outstretched his right arm and turned out so the front of the Gashat was facing behind him.

"Transform!" He shouted as he slid the Gashat into the single slot on the top if his Driver and pushed the small button by the Gashat slot to trigger the transformation.

"Buggle Up! Danger! Danger! (Genocide!) Death the Crisis! (Survival!) Dangerous Zombie!!!! GRAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!"

As the jingle played, a screen displaying new armor for Kirihara emerged from his Driver as he became cloaked in black smoke and red lighting sparked around his area. His arms then punched through screen and Kirihara jumped through with a roar now covered in his new Rider Armor, his eyes glowing red and blue.

Aiden's eyes widened underneath his helmet as he watched Kirihara move sporadically for a few seconds before standing there. His armor was black and white. The right half of his helmets hair was colored black as the left was covered in white plating. The right side of his chest piece was covered by a dirty white plate while the left half displayed a red and cracked empty HP gauge.

"Kamen Rider Extreme... Level 10." Kirihara said calmly.

"Level 10..." Aiden said with slight fear in his voice. He quickly regained his nerves and stood up straight, activating his GiriGiri Chambara Gashat.

"GiriGiri Chambara!"

The games start up screens appeared behind Aiden as the Chambara Gamer Buddy flew out and circled around Aiden as he slid the Gashat into his Driver's second slot.

"Gashat!"

"Level Up Transform!" He shouted as he pulled the lever over.

"Alright! Level Up! Roaring! Leading! Speeding! Rampaging! Bakusou Bike~!!! Alright Now! Giri Giri! Let's Slash! Giri Giri! Code of Honor! GiriGiri Chambara~!!!!"

Aiden's main body broke free from the Level 1 casing and transformed as the Chambara Gamer broke apart and became Aiden's new arms and legs and faceplate.

"Let's rev this game up." Aiden said as he summoned his Gashacon Arrow weapon.

-----------------------------------------------------------

"Critical Finish!"

Tyson, Jake and Hunter all launched their final attacks to destroy the last remaining Bugsters.

"That's all of them." Jake said as Alice and Laeticia ran up to them.

"We have to find Aiden quickly!" Alice warned them.

They all nodded and stated to run deeper into the factory.

-----------------------------------------------------------

Aiden kicked himself off a concrete wall to avoid an attack from Kirihara, placing the two outside.

Aiden tucked himself in and rolled to lessen the impact when he landed, firing his Sparrow weapon at Kirihara multiple times as soon as he was standing back up.

Kirihara rushed towards Aiden like an actual Zombie, grabbing him and kneeing him in the gut before tossing him away. Aiden growled a little as he pressed the A-Button on his weapon to separate it into Sickle Mode.

"Sickle Mode!"

Aiden rushed towards Kirihara and slashed his sickle at him rapidly, only for each slash to be dodged. Kirihara than kicked Aiden in the chest and delivered a right hook to his face, sending him to the ground.

Aiden crouched down and groaned before he removed his GiriGiri Chambara Gashat from his Driver and placed it into the slot on one of his Sickies to activate his finisher.

"GiriGiri Critical Finsish!"

The blades of Aiden's sickle became scharged with purple and neon yellow energy as he got up and ran to his opponent, slashing his weapons at his shoulders. Kirihara simply sidestepped or avoided each attack almost effortlessly before he grabbed Aiden's wrists to stop an attack and knocked the Sickle weapons out of the air, kicking Aiden back.

The sickles than landed in Kirihara's hands, prompting him to run towards Aiden as he got up and slash at him multiple times with his own weapons, sending Aiden flying back and onto the ground once more after a few attacks.

Kirihara stood there silently as he dropped the Gashacon Sparrow Sickles and pressed both the A and B buttons on his Driver, triggering a charging sound.

"Gashat! Finisher!"

Kirihara than pressed the A-Button once. He then flew into the air and started to rapidly spin backwards as purple energy started to gather around, turning him him into a buzzsaw. As this was happened a cloud of rusty dust spread out around the area and surrounded Aiden.

"Critical End!"

Kirihara then flew towards Aiden as he continued spinning like a buzzsaw, Aiden tried using a spinning kick to intercept the attack but to no avail. He was overpowered and took the full force of the attack. Aiden was sent flying back, his armor and body starting to rapidly glitch out as he struggled to stand.

He looked down at his chest and saw the last two ticks of HP he had drop to zero. "The gauge..." 

Aiden than collapsed onto the ground, laying on his chest as he was forced out of his transformation. Kirihara slowly walked up to him as the sky darkened with gray clouds and it started to rain.

Aiden groaned as he grabbed Kirihara's leg, trying to pull himself up, glaring heavily at the Rider who had defeated him.

"You'll disappear... along with the truth." Kirihara said as he held his index finger to his mouth piece vefore kicking Aiden off him, causing a small splash.

A few feet away, Tyson and the others finally arrived and were shocked at what they saw.

"Aiden!" Alice yelled.

"Is that... Extreme...?" Hunter asked.

Kirihara remained silent before he walked away and disappeared.

"Aiden!" Tyson yelled as he and the others quickly ran towards him, canceling their transformations.

Tyson immediatly knelt down beside Aiden, gently lifting him up a little.

"S-Sorry guys... I messed up." Aiden said in pain.

"What the hell happened!?" Jake asked as he knelt down by Aiden also.

"Was that Extreme?" Hunter asked him.

"Y-Yeah. H-He kicked my ass...." Aiden said in pain.

"Your HP gauge... did it..." Alice asked, too scared to finish her question.

Aiden gave a weak nod in response. Everyone's eyes widened in sadness and surprise.

"No.... No! No! Aiden you can't be!" Tyson shouted.

"You can't die on us!" Hunter yelled.

"I-Im sorry... But I found out too much I guess. Heh... augh." Aiden said as he grabbed Tyson's arm in pain. "Ty-Tyson... the fate of the world... of everyone... it's in your hands..." Aiden barely managed to say as he pushed his Console Driver with the Bakusou Bike Gashat into Tyson's possession.

"Aiden please! You can't.... you can't die on us!" Tyson shouted, he and the others visibly starting to cry.

Laeticia covered her mouth as tears started flowing from out her eyes, she and Alice hugged as they watched the scene.

Aiden slowly extended his arm, holding his fist up for his three friends. Tyson, Jake, and Hunter sadly put their fists in to create the circle, mimicking what they did when they first formed their team.

"A-At least... I can see my Mom... again..." Aiden said as he started crying also.

His three friends tried really hard to hold back their tears but failed to do so. Their faces were stained by both tears and rain droplets.

"I want you three to know..." Aiden started as his body started glitching and turning into data pixels. "That you guys were the best friends... no... the best brothers... I could ever ask for... I'm sorry..." Those were Aiden's final words.

"GAME OVER!"

"AIDEN!" His friends shouted as Aiden's body completly disintegrated into data pixels, leaving nothing behind.

His friends just stayed where they are, silently. Their tears unable to stop streaming down their faces. Tyson, Jake, and Hunter now had huge holes in their hearts.... losing their best friend and brother.

Kuroda, who sat in his office, covered his face with his hands, he knew the minute that he lost Aiden's signal that it meant he was defeated... permantly...

See you next time.

Kirihara: With the death of Aiden Lance, the most Dangerous Game begins now! Haha.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
