*Meanwhile in the dark dimension*

Sentria was in her chambers working on a way to create new Synthoids and Cybots with the help of Sir Grim who happens to be the smartest of all the Dark Knights.

"So far, creating new Synthoids has proven to be more time-consuming for the dark energy to manifest into physical matter and it takes more energy to make the Synthoid powerful enough." Grim said.

"Which explains how Cyrus was able to defeat many of our Synthoids during our last encounter however, if we can find a way to bring back the old ones and improve their abilities."

"We would once again have a powerful army." The two of them said.

"I had no idea you were such a scientist Sir Grim and I appreciate you helping me with my work."

"It's fine, I enjoy working on scientific projects anyways. Plus I wanted to talk to you about your daughter and about Lady Ragnok."

"You've heard about their encounter?"

"I know that Seras is your daughter so I will tell you that Ragnok's affection towards her are real but it won't stop there."

"What do you mean?"

"If she's committed to make Seras her lover, or her property, it's only a matter of time before your daughter accepts her."

"I suppose that means I should finally have the talk with my daughter before it's too late."

*Ring* *Ring*

Sentria activated the communicator and a holographic projection of King Nalos appeared.

"Sentria, report."

"My lord, me and Sir Grim are working on a way to bring back old Synthoids and pgrade them considering new powerful Synthoids takes too much time to create.

"Excellent, we are half way through to the temple. Make sure to get at least one decent Synthoid and a couple of Cybots by the time of the next attack to keep Cyrus busy."

"Of course my lord."

*A few days later with Lincoln and Riku*

The two of them, along with Calcifer and Alexander inside Lincoln's jacket, are standing outside the giant building of Hiden Intelligence. Lincoln had aced his drivers test and thanks to Tanaka he managed to obtain his motorcycle license to avoid any trouble with the law and Riku had already told Lincoln her plan to get the android body for Ai-chan here by asking the president, who is a previous Kamen Rider, for assistance.

"So this is Hiden Intelligence? The others back home would be jealous, you sure this is a good plan?." Lincoln said.

"I'm positive, why?" Riku said.

"Well your plan involves revealing my identity to the person we're about to meet."

"It'll be fine, besides he a Kamen Rider so he'll keep it secret."

"... *sigh*... Alight Riku, I'll trust you."

They then went inside and proceeded through security and the front desk and made their way up through the elevator to the president's office. When they walked into the office they see the white interior and desk where a man with brown hair, a red hoodie under a suit jacket, black pants, and bright yellow green shoes sitting behind the desk and standing next to him is an android girl in a white dress (I think), white jacket, a light teal skirt, the android ear piece, and black pants, and heels.





(Best image I could find of the two of them)

"Hello there! I'm Aruto Hiden, the president of the company and this is Izu."

"... *Bows*... Nice to meet you." Izu said.

"Oh uh *Bows* nice to meet you too. I'm Lincoln Loud and this is Riku Kasami."

"Please have a seat... So, what I can help you with?"

"We need your help in creating an android body for my A.I. program." Riku said.

The two of them explained everything about Ai-chan, Lincoln's identity, Riku's brother, and a summary of everything else that's considered important.

"I see, and you came here for assistance on the Humagear."

"Yeah, we understand it might be a tough job and we're still strangers but please help us."

"No need to worry, I always willing to help those in need especially to other Kamen Riders I considered friends. Hai! Aruto ja nai to!" ("Yep! It's Aruto or nothing!")

*Points at Lincoln in a funny pose*

"..."

"That's President-sama's catchphrase whenever he gets excited, or makes a joke, or a pun." Izu said.

"Not to be rude and no offense but I once had a crazy comedian sister and trust me, a lot of her jokes and/or puns were terrible but yours isn't half-bad actually. I mean Luan never had a catchphrase like that and it's certainly unique."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

"How crazy was she?" Riku asked.

"She would constantly make bad jokes and perform pranks on everyone in a way a psychopath would and April Fool's Day was the worse. Last I heard, she's still in a medical psych ward to this day since the court hearing."

"Seriously?" Aruto said.

"Yeah, one time I had to set off all of her April Fool's Day pranks in the house at once in order to prevent one of my friends from getting hurt only to find out she was involved in the whole thing to lure me out of my room."

"Who decided to do that?" Riku asked.

"It was Ronnie Anne."

"Oh."

The wall of the office then opened up to reveal a secret lab within with various parts and machinery and Riku couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Aruto's equipment. The four of them worked together to perfect the Humagear body for Ai-chan and eventually they completed the basic blueprint.

*Meanwhile in another dimension*

Sentria was working on augmenting the retractable blades of the claws of a Synthoid with a metallic tail that shoots out poison out of its tip, wearing brown armor, and its head resembles a scorpion.

"Good?"

The scorpion Synthoid tested the claws by retracting the blades and bringing them out a few times like predator.

"Good. Thank you Sentria."

"It's no matter Sergeant Scorn. Now get to the earth dimension alongside with Sergeant Pan but be wary of Cyrus, don't let him defeat you too quickly. If things get bad, retreat and meet up with Seras to rest up until you're ready to fight again."

"Understood."

Sergeant Scorn got up and left her chambers and then Sir Grimm entered.

"So that's one of the new Synthoid you revived?"

"Yes, I upgraded the blades on his arms and increased the capacity of the poison in his tail and I already sent Seras through a portal to observe along with Cybots by their side."

"Excellent and good timing too, Ragnok was about to look for her but luckily I kept her occupied.

"Thank you for that but how did you manage to do that?"

"Trust me, you DON'T want to know."

*Meanwhile in Lady Ragnok's chambers*

Ragnok was currently laying on her back in bed while kicking her legs in the air and giggling while tightly hugging a large handmade plush of Seras that Sir Grimm had somehow made without anyone knowing.

"I can understand your motivation but thank you Grimm for this wonderful gift. Heh heh heh, just you wait my little spider, you will eventually be mine."

*With the King and the generals*

The four of them finally managed to arrive at their destination but they were exhausted.

"I swear if the Shadow Reapers don't agree to join me after all of this effort, I'm going to lose it" King Nalos said.

"It doesn't seem there's a magic seal in place unlike the ruins" Graves said.

"Yes however the Shadow Reapers are located very deep underground in the crypts beneath and most likely there are at least a thousand traps inside designed to keep outsiders out especially powerful Synthoids."

"Oh please, I doubt it will be effective against us" Willows said.

As soon as General Willows said that, the others watched as he entered the temple first and immediately accidentally triggered a trap which caused an explosion which also set off a chain reaction of other traps and some were already triggered before but it didn't matter. After a few minutes, General Willows was sent flying out of the temple and was smoking and covered in ashes, darts, needles, and arrows and the fur on his left ear was on fire a bit.

"You sure about that?"

"Screw you Graves."

"Maybe we should have brought Sentria and Seras with us for this one" Bardo said.

*Back with Lincoln and the others*

"Kanryo shimashita!" Aruto said. (It's done!")

The Humagear body for Ai-chan was complete. It was a body resembling a young woman with blue eyes, light blue hair with the android head ornament, and was wearing a white and light blue dress with arm straps and a blue ribbon around the waist and was also wearing white heals.



"Everything good Ai-chan?" Riku said.

"All systems operational and perfect connection to the main computer in the base and other various devices and servers."

"That's great, thanks for the help Mr Hiden-senpai."

"Please just call me Aruto, I'm just glad I can help a fellow Rider."

"Oh that reminds me, Ai-chan, I know you're a robot now but are you gonna be tired in any way on the way back to the base?"

"I do not think so, why?"

"Because it's gonna be a... hard drive."

"Hilarious sir."

"Oh come on, I tried."

Just then, Ai-chan's eyes started beeping as well as her head ornament.

"Sir, I've just detected a dimensional portal opening and a Synthoid coming through, no wait it's 3 Synthoids and some Cybots as well.

"EHHH!" Aruto shouted.

"Three! How the hell did they managed to get 3 Synthoids to invade all at once?!"

"My scans cannot indicate the cause but I have detected an sudden increase of an unknown energy from the other side however any portal had became too unstable for anything else to come through for a while."

"Location and activity?" Riku asked.

"10 miles east, it appears two of them are currently causing chaos and destruction and the last one had disappeared somewhere else but it seems to be the same spider Synthoid from the last invasion."

"Most likely that last spider Synthoid might be acting as a spy or scout and won't get directly involved in combat with me or anyone else unless absolutely necessary but still. Notify Tanaka, to clear any civilians I'm on the way there."

*Later*

Sergeant Scorn was shooting out dark energy slashes from his claws and destroying a parked car and next to him was Sergeant Pan. A Synthoid resembling a pangolin with an orange scale-like shell over its body and large gauntlets on its arms. (Imagine something similar to that one pangolin guy from Power Rangers Jungle Fury; I have not seen Gekiranger yet.)

"Come on, how long does it take for the Kamen Rider to come." Scorn said.

"Patience Scorn, he will come eventually. Remember there's two of us and one of him." Pan said.

At that moment, Lincoln had arrived behind them with his belt on his waist and then hopped off his bike to transform.

"Better not take any chances."

*Places disk on belt and slides Calcifer onto the side of belt*

"CONFIRMED... CYRUS... UPGRADE... FIRE"

*Plays standby music while Lincoln does his transformation pose*

"Henshin!"

*Presses button*

"LETS GO... CYRUS... FIRE... BURNING EXPLOSION"

*Transformation*

"Time to make history."

Lincoln threw a large fireball towards Sergeant Scorn from behind which sent him and a couple of Cybots flying and then Sergeant Pan turned around to see Lincoln in his Fire mode.

"About time you showed up" Pan said while readying his gauntlets.

"Careful Lincoln, this guy looks like he packs a punch" Calcifer said.

"You're not wrong, and his armor looks more stronger than others."

*Presses button*

"Gauntlets... dual!"

"DUAL... GAUNTLETS"

*Readies boxing stance*

Sergeant Pan went on defense by raising his gauntlets up to block any attacks and covering any body parts not covered by his shell while Lincoln focused his fire energy in his gauntlets to boost his attacks and then delivered a very powerful combo of a right jab, a left hook, a right hook, a liver blow, a gazelle punch, then quickly proceeded to weave from side to side to built up momentum to perform a successful dempsey roll and then he delivered a series of rapid blows. However, when he landed the last blow he saw that it had barely cracked and Sergeant Pan then used the opportunity to deliver a right uppercut sending Lincoln back a distance.

"Note to self, put a rush on the training schedule for project M. E. C. H. so I can get some backup every once in a while."

"Ha, I thought you'd be stronger."

Lincoln got back up on his feet but then jumped back to avoid a sudden splash of poison from Scorn.

"About time you got up."

"Had to loosen my tail from the landing."

*Sends gauntlets back to the base*

"RETURN"

*Presses button*

"Hammer and blaster."

"TELEPORT... HAMMER AND BLASTER"

The weapons appeared and he grabbed the hammer with his right hand and the blaster with his left and readied himself. Sergeant Pan's gauntlets began to manifest dark energy and then slammed them on the ground and the area around the two Synthoids started to grow and a bunch of Cybots suddenly appeared out of thin air.

"Summoning? This could be a problem."

Lincoln charged forward once again while shooting his blaster at the Cybots and then started swinging his hammer around and taking out Cybots and hitting the Synthoids. He then threw his hammer towards a Cybot with a blaster, destroying it, and had the hammer return to his hand like Thor.

"So glad Riku made that feature possible."

He continued to make his stand against his foes but the number of Cybots kept on increasing to Pan's ability and he's struggling to continuously dodging Scorn's poison attacks from his tail and then he got hit by Scorn's claws three times in a row and then he got knocked back by Pan rolling into a ball while spinning and hitting him.

"Lincoln, are you alright?" Calcifer said.

"Yeah, I'll be ok."

"Need a hand?" a familiar face said.

Lincoln turned around and sees that the person who just spoke up was Aruto on his motorcycle.

"Aruto-senpai?"

"It's alright, I can you with this."

He then got off his bike and pulled out a black and yellow belt and a yellow progrise key.

"ZERO ONE DRIVER"





*Presses button on top of the progrise key*

"JUMP"

*Places key on belt*

"AUTHORIZED"

*Plays standby theme*

*In space*

A satellite that belongs to Aruto and his company was in orbit above the earth and it suddenly shoots out a yellow beam directed at Aruto's location.

*Back in the battle*

The beam turns into a large silver and yellow grasshopper and lands in front of Aruto. The grasshopper then started to jump around randomly and a 2d hologram of Aruto rider suit appeared in front of Aruto while he does his transformation pose and opens his progrise key.

"Henshin!"

*Inserts progrise key into slot on left side of belt which slides the silver part of the belt to the right*

"PROGRISE... JUMP UP AND RISE... RISING HOPPER"

The hologram then materialized into a black Kamen Rider suit around his body and the grasshopper splited itself and turned into yellow armor piece around his legs, chest, and face and somehow a black briefcase with a yellow diagonal line appeared in his hand.

"A JUMP TO THE SKY TURNS TO A RIDER KICK"



"Who the hell are you?" Scorn said.

"Kamen Rider Zero-one! That's my name!"

"Another Kamen Rider, nobody ever tells me anything?" Pan said.

"Omae o tome rareru no wa tada hitori... ore da!" ("There's only one person who can stop you... and that's me!")

Aruto then turned his briefcase into a sword and charged forward with Lincoln at his side to fend off the monsters.

*Meanwhile with the King and the Generals*

The four of them were barely halfway through the temple due to the never ending traps and it appears that it wasn't just regular booby traps but there were also magical traps as well which were the worse of them all and now that had just avoid a giant rolling boulder.

"Of course there's always a giant boulder" Bardo said.

"Ok, I concluded that one or two traps are triggered every five seconds since entering and if we try to disable one, another one activates" Graves said.

"Well what can we do?"

"What if we disable every trap at once?" Willows said.

"General Willows, I know you're a knucklehead but that is-"

"Good idea Willows" King Nalos said.

"Wait, my lord let's not be too-"

The king then manifested a lot of dark energy around his arms and slammed the ground hard to set off a chain reaction around them and set off all the traps and making the path ahead clear to go through.

"How come we didn't do do sooner? Come along now, we still have work to do."

*Back with Lincoln and Aruto*

The two of them were teaming up against the Synthoids while the Cybots were being dealt with by Tanaka and a couple of officers who arrived a few minutes ago.

*Places disk on blaster*

"CHARGED"

While focusing, flaming energy began to manifest around the barrel of his blaster and when it was fully charged, Lincoln's blaster was on fire like the golden gun super from Destiny 2 and he then fired a 3 consecutive flaming shots at Sergeant Scorn and rendering him unconscious.

"I don't know if that's gonna last long but every little bit helps."

*Sends blaster back to base*

"RETURN"

*Zero-one opening theme plays in background of fight*

Meanwhile, Aruto was fighting Sergeant Pan with his rapid attacks and enhanced legs with Rising Hopper's abilities and then Lincoln ran up to hit Pan with his hammer which did a better effect compared to earlier with his Gauntlets.

"Now that's more like it."

*Places disk on hammer*

"CHARGED"

The hammer was set on fire and Lincoln began swinging from left to right and after hitting Sergeant Pan's shell six times, he pulled his arm back and did a powerful upward flaming smash with the hammer and launching Pan very high into the air.

*Tosses hammer aside and presses button*

"Sword!"

"TELEPORT... SWORD"

"Aruto-senpai, let's finish this together!"

"Alright then!"

Aruto then pushes the progrise key into his belt once again to activate his finishing attack while Lincoln placed the disk on the guard of his sword and presses the switch on his belt.

"RISING IMPACT"

"CHARGED... FINAL STRIKE... FIRE"

"Cyrus! The Cybots has been dealt with and I think we got everyone out!" Tanaka said.

"Good!"

Lincoln then balanced his now flaming sword over his shoulders with both of his hands and focused his energy to build up around the blade of his sword, making the flame bigger and more intense. While Lincoln was doing that, Aruto moved at supersonic speed with a yellow digital lightning effect as he ran to perform aerial attacks on Sergeant Pan and then appeared high above him and did his Rider kick.

"Haaaaa!"

*Lands Rider kick on chest*

Lincoln then finished building up his energy and spun around and then unleashed a giant flaming phoenix towards Sergeant Pan from below while Aruto landed his Rider Kick from above.

"RIDER PHOENIX FLAMING SLASH!!!"

*Both attacks lands simultaneously at the same time*

"RISING IMPACT"

A large explosion occurred when the attacks landed and Aruto then landed next to Lincoln while sliding his foot when he hit the ground.

*Zero-one opening ends*

"Nicely done Lincoln!"

"Thank you Aruto-senpai but please, don't say my real name when I'm transformed. I don't want my identity getting back to my family."

"Oh sorry, my bad."

"It's alright, no one heard you say it anyways."

Suddenly, something landed in front of the two of them and when the smoke cleared they see that it was Sergeant Pan who was still alive but barely.

"Nani!"

"How is that possible!"

"Humph, I admit that was too close for comfort but my invincible armor still protects me. Sergeant Scorn! Wake up already!"

Scorn then got up from the rubble he was laying on and cracked his knuckles while loosening many joints all over his body, again.

"We need to fall back and rendezvous with Seras."

"Good idea."

*Pulls out Alexander in attempt to change out Calcifer*

"Not if I can help it!"

The two Riders were about to prevent them from fleeing but then all four of them heard crying in the distance and saw that their was one last civilian in the area and it was a scared little girl with a injured leg. Tanaka attempts to get to the child first but Sergeant Scorn then protracts his claws and manifested poison around it and quickly dashed towards the girl quicker than how fat Tanaka can run then it feels like time slowed down for everyone. By instinct, Lincoln dropped his sword and Alexander and used Calcifer's fire powers around his hands and feet as jet thrusters to increase his speed fast enough to quickly get in front of Scorn and held his arms out to protect the little girl and then it feels like time had resumed to normal but as a result, Lincoln directly took the poisoned claw attack to the chest and he can feel the poison being injected into his body.

"NOOO!!!" Aruto and Tanaka yelled.

*Meanwhile in Aruto's office*

Riku, Izu, and Ai-chan was observing the fight through Ai-chan's eyes with projected a holographic screen and sees Lincoln getting stabbed by Scorn.

"LINCOLN-KUN!!!" Riku yelled.

*Back with Lincoln*

Lincoln was struggling but refused to give up even now and whatever strength he had left he ignited his right fist on fire and delivered a flaming right hook to Scorn's face and shot out a powerful scorching ray of fire out of both of his hands, burning Scorn and knocking him back towards Sergeant Pan.

"Damn it! Pan, get us out of here!"

"Gladly!"

Sergeant Pan once again manifested dark energy around his gauntlets and slammed the ground to create a smokescreen and when it clears up, they were gone. After that, Aruto rushed towards Lincoln as he collapsed to the ground and his injuries forcefully undid the transformation while Tanaka comforted the still crying child.

"ERROR"

*Deformation as Aruto catches Lincoln in his arms*

"Oi Lincoln, wake up! Keep your eyes open!"

*Aruto's phone rings and sees that it's Izu who's calling and answers it*

"Izu! Get an ambulance here now!"

"Apologies President-sama but an ambulance will take too long and a hospital won't help Mr. Loud's condition but Ms. Kasami said that their underground base has the necessary equipment to help and that Lieutenant Tanaka Kyano will help you get there quickly, the three of us are currently on the way there now."

"Got it, hey Tanaka! I need your help to get to his base!"

"Understood, quick, let's get him to my car! I'll get us there quickly!"

"Stay with me buddy, we're gonna get you some help."
