Next time on Kamen Rider Xtreme:

The final battle between Decade and Xtreme.

Who will win? Who will lose?

All will be decided when Kamen Rider Xtreme Act Three concludes with episode 26: The Ultimate Xtreme.
Xtreme, what is your decision?

I promised I'd post in here with my thoughts. I just finished Act One and I liked it quite a bit.

Few thoughts:

-Each episode gets better than the previous one, and it's starting to get really interesting. I think it started to really show its quality in the Flame Arc.
-The dialogue is pretty good. It felt natural and easy to follow.
-I like the idea of having police officers as the "mentors" or backup. Gives great support as well as provides some grounding for Alex.
-Pretty impressed you could juggle the characters you have and still make them interesting.
-Ah...I see why everyone is so obsessed with Madison. :D

Good stuff so far, impressed with the effort you put into this and I'm quite inspired, to be honest. Looking forward to reading the rest.

Alex stood looking up at Ardent Tower. He turned to Shiore and placed his hand on her shoulder.

“Shiore… stay here,” He said looking her in the eye, “You’ll be safer here.” Shiore nodded. Alex turned his back to Shiore, “Now then… I should get going.”

He took one step forward only to be stopped by a small tug on his sweater. He turned back around to see Shiore loosely holding onto his sleeve.

Shiore’s cheeks slowly became a light red, “You’re going to come back… right?”

“I can’t say for sure...” Alex looked down to the ground, “all I know is that if Tsukasa wants to destroy this world, then I won’t let him do it without a fight.”

“But your driver is broken, isn’t it?” Natsumi asked.

“That’s right,” Yusuke added, “Surely you can’t expect to win against him in the state you’re in now.”

Alex turned to Yusuke, “True… but I have to try.”

“Don’t give me that!” Shiore shouted. Alex’s eyes widened as he slowly looked back to Shiore whose eyes looked back at him with an icy blue fire within them, “If you aren’t certain in your own ability then your efforts will only result in failure, that is the motto that everyone in my family lives and dies by... so please,” she grabbed Alex’s hand with both of her own, “promise me you’ll come back.”

Alex smiled back at Shiore, “Of course I will,” he said taking hold of Shiore’s hand with his free own, “count on it.” He turned back to Yusuke and Natsumi, “You’ll look after her right?”

“Of course,” The two nodded.

“Good,” Alex returned pulling away from Shiore “Now then… I should get going.” He turned away his back to the trio and began walking down the road toward the tower, looking up at it as he did. “Prepare yourself Tsukasa,” He thought to himself, balling his hands up, “because this time, I won’t hold back.”


Tsukasa stood at the top of Ardent City, looking down at the city below. Thunder roared as storm clouds rolled in above him. Off in the distance he could see Alex growing closer.

“So you’ve decided to come anyway…” he thought to himself, “You’ve been rendered powerless, and yet your determination to fight remains. Alex Darwin… what are you?”

Back on the ground, Shiore stood at the top of the large hill where Alex had left her.

“Running off into battle without a moment of hesitation. Rather stubborn… but still, fairly brave of him,” Yusuke said walking up to Shiore’s side, “I think I’m beginning to understand why it was him that was chosen as this world’s rider.”

“You were like that at the start too remember,” a voice called out, “or have you forgotten the path that lead you to where you are now?”

The trio turned around to see the same man with the case and blaster standing a few feet away behind them.

“Kaito,” Natsumi said, “I was wondering where you ran off to.”

“Yeah… sorry about that, had to pick up a few things on my way here,” Kaito said pointing over his shoulder revealing Cole, Tara and Carter, “Some of which required a bit of heavy lifting if you know what I mean.”

Natsumi eyed the case in Kaito’s hand, “I think I get it… what did you snatch this time?”

Kaito swung the case over his shoulder, “Nothing that you need to concern yourself with.”

Natsumi raised an eyebrow, “Figured as much,” she looked over to the three standing behind Kaito, “So… who are they?”

“Gale, Rock and Ryu-O,” Kaito said gesturing to the three, “Or at least, they’re supposed to be, as they are now though… they fall a little short of expectation.”

“WHO YOU CALLIN SHORT!” Tara shouted nearly taking Kaito’s arm off.

Carter bonked Tara on the head, “He wasn’t calling you or anyone short Thea. Now calm yourself, or I’ll hit you much harder.”

“Fine,” Tara crossed her arms and pouted, “and it’s Tara now you got it.”

“Doesn’t matter what you call yourself, you’ll always be Thea in my eyes.”

“So you must be Shiore,” Cole sighed walking up to the blue haired girl that stood before him. He looked up to Ardent Tower, “He’s up there… isn’t he?”

Shiore nodded.

“Ah man,” Cole slapped himself in the face, “why must he always get himself into trouble?”

“He’s done this kind of thing before?”

“You could say that,” Cole sighed, “Hell, when I first met the guy he was in the middle of a fight. Of course he was outnumbered, and losing. Despite that he kept on going. Rather pathetic… isn’t it?”

“You’re wrong.”

Cole raised an eyebrow and turned to Shiore, “What was that?”

“It isn’t pathetic,” Shiore returned looking Cole in the eye, “Even though it may seem pointless, continuing to fight in the face of doubt is a sign of true strength.”

“I second that!” Tara shouted running up to Shiore and Cole, “Even if things seem tough, you should never give up, ain’t that right big bro?”

Carter sighed, “Yeah sure whatever.”

“Sweet, the we all agree!” Tara said with a smirk wrapping her arms around Cole and Carter, “Though to be honest, I don’t think it’s really all that fair for Superstar to be the one doing all the fighting.”

“But what can we do?” Cole asked.
Tara snapped her fingers “I’ve got it!” she broke away from Cole and Carter and dashed up in front of the group, “the four of us shall work together to help Superstar in anyway we can,” she extended her arm out in front of her, “now who’s with me?

“He’s been alone all this time, I want to be able to help him in some way…” Cole said placing his hand over Tara’s “even if it’s only a little.” He turned to Shiore, “what about you?”

Shiore placed her hand over Cole’s “I owe him,” she said avoiding eye contact with Cole or Tara, “I’ll help in anyway I can.”

“Sweetness!” Tara shouted, “and Carter?”

Carter shrugged, “Mom and Dad will kill me if anything happened to you…” he said placing his hand over Shiore’s, “so I guess I don’t have much of a choice now do I?”

Tara slammed her free hand down on the collective, “That’s the spirit!”

Just then, a spark ignited from in between them and shot up into the sky before coming right back onto hitting the case that Kaito held in his hand forcing him to drop it. It shook on the ground, spark still going off from within the cracks of the case.

“What was that?” Natsumi asked.

“I don’t know,” Kaito said grabbing his shot hand, “this thing didn’t exactly come with an instruction manual.”

“Let me see,” Tara demanded going over to the case and kneeling in front of it. She grabbed the clasps holding the case closed, “okay… here goes nothing.”

Tara forced the case open, resulting in a giant beam of multi-colored light to shoot out from it along with a wave of energy which engulfed the group in it’s mass.

Alex reached the top of Ardent Tower where Tsukasa was waiting for him.

“I’m here Tsukasa,” Alex shouted grabbing his opponent's attention, “now let’s get this over with already.”

“Hold on for a moment,” Tsukasa returned as he reached into his pocket and pulled out a cellphone with a diamond shaped charm attached to it, “I have to check something first.”

He flipped the phone open and hit a single button on the keypad causing the phone to read out a pre-recorded message, “Hey hey, Maddy here! Sorry, but Alex can’t talk right now. Please leave a message and he’ll call you back as soon as he can!”

Alex’s eyes widened, “Where did you get that?” he demanded, balling his hands into fists.

“A girl with red hair had it,” Tsukasa explained, “It wasn’t her’s, and she was frantically looking for rightful owner,” he folded the phone up and looked over to Alex, “You wouldn’t happen to know her… would you?”

“Damn you!” Alex shouted taking a few steps forward, “I swear, if you hurt her-”

“Relax, she’s fine. I’m not a monster Alex,” Tsukasa proclaimed. He put the phone back in his pocket, “I merely told her I knew where it’s owner was and asked if I could deliver it to him, nothing more.”

“Good,” Alex growled, “that girl has had enough hardship because of me… she doesn’t need anymore.”

“Is that so?” Tsukasa asked, he reached into his back pocket and pulled out a card, “Well then, now that that’s out of the way I’d say it’s about time we settle this. Ready?”

“You’re damn right I am,” Alex proclaimed planting his feet on the ground, “and I won’t hold anything back.”

“Good, because I won’t either… be sure you remember that,” he proclaimed holding the card up to Alex. He flipped the card over so the back faced Alex, “henshin.”

Back on the ground, the light faded as the other riders regained their vision.

“The hell was that?” Tara asked rubbing crud out of her eye. She brushed the dust of herself rose to her feet, walking over to the case, “What the hell could’ve cased that anyway?”

She looked into the case. Inside was a gunmetal black device in the shape of a bird with two thick red lines that split off at the tail into an L shape on both sides.

“Alright, you’ve seen enough,” Kaito said as he slammed the case closed before picking it back up and tucking it under his arm. “This treasure is rather valuable and I don’t need a little runt like you breaking it.”

Tara growled, “WHO YOU CALLIN LITTLE!”

“Hey, I’m just calling it how I see it,” Kaito shrugged. “Besides,” he poked Tara on her nose, “I doubt that little brain of your would be able to comprehend the weight of this treasure anyway,so there really isn’t any point on me explaining it.”

“Why you!” Tara shouted back rolling up her sleeve, as she pulled up her sleeve however she noticed that a yellow gauntlet modeled after a bird was strapped to her wrist. “Where did this thing come from?” She asked fiddling with the gauntlet.

After a few moments of fiddling, the gauntlet unfurled itself from Tara’s wrist and took the form of a mechanical bird. The bird flapped around for a moment before perching itself on Tara’s shoulder.

“Kree,” Kaito said with a smirk, “I was wondering when he’d make an appearance. He’s a little smaller than I expected, but I guess people do change over time.”

Tara raised an eyebrow, “What are you talking about?”

“It would appear he isn’t the only one who’s changed,” Kaito raised his hand and pointed to Tara, “see for yourself.”

Tara looked up a little to see that her brown hair had become a golden blonde, “What the hell!” She shouted grabbing a few strands and looking at them closer. She then looked out the corner of her glasses.

She removed the glasses that framed her eyes and realized that her vision had cleared up a bit and was much better without her glasses then with them on.

“So it seems as though my assumptions were correct,” Kaito smirked, “A guardian of this world has a strong effect on the rider they bond with. In your case, it’s a change of hair colour to match the aura of your element and an increased field of vision.” He turned to Cole and Carter, “which would explain why your friends haven’t been effected, despite having a strong bond to their element.”

Carter took a step forward, “What exactly is that supposed to mean?”

Kaito looked Carter in the eye, “It means that your little sister is a very special girl. I guess you could say that all four of you are special… but are you strong enough to hold your own in a world run by Tsukasa?”

The four turned to Kaito, their hands balling into fists in synch with one another. At that moment a spark ignited in their eyes causing the case in Kaito’s hand to burst open once again as four lights of yellow, green, blue and red shot out from it and into the hands of the four riders. The yellow light going to Tara, green to Cole, blue to Shiore and red to Carter.

The four opened their hands to reveal a small USB like device corresponding to the light that shot into their hands, their drivers materializing around their waists.

Shiore’s eyes widened, “Wait a minute… these are-”

“Gaia Memories if I recall correctly,” Kaito proclaimed, “Tsukasa tried to destroy them, but memories are something that can never truly be destroyed. I have a feeling Tsukasa might have forgotten that little detail.”

Tara smacked her fist into the palm of her left hand, “Well let’s go smack it into to him then!” Tara grabbed Cole and Carter by their wrist, “Come on! Let’s go give Superstar a hand!” she shouted before charging down the hill.

Shiore rolled her eyes, she paused for a moment then followed after them.

“They have strong hearts,” Kaito proclaimed with a grin, “I think I now understand what Tsukasa was trying to tell me back in the world of Faiz.”

Yusuke and Natsumi turned to him, “What’s that?”

“He said that there was an even greater treasure hidden in the rider worlds. I simply took it as there being stronger powers,” Kaito explained, “only now I realize that the treasure he was talking about is something even more invaluable. It’s not the rider gear, but the hearts of riders who wield them that are the true treasures of the rider worlds,” he chuckled a bit, “Shame I was too stupid to realize it, kind of reminds me of how Tsukasa was back when we first met.”

Natsumi turned to Kaito, “How did you two meet anyway?”

“Oh, I never did tell you before did I?” Kaito returned, “We were strangers really, met on the round and both on the run from Shocker. Out of necessity we agreed to work together in order to survive, all we had were each other and our rider gear.” He sighed, “However, during an ambush from Shocker grunts a commander got to Tsukasa and wiped his memory. I managed to get him away from the battle… but the damage had already been done.”

“That’s awful,” Natsumi proclaimed, “How’d you manage to escape them?”

“I honestly thought we wouldn’t… but then Ejiro showed up and offered his assistance,” Kaito explained “I figured they’d try to come after Tsukasa again, so I did everything in my power to drive Shocker away from him. That included dropping him off at the master’s place who was a good friend of mine as well as taking Tsukasa’s driver and hiding it somewhere that no one would ever think to look for it. After that I did and stole whatever I needed to get by as well as keep Shocker’s attention away from Tsukasa. Nothing else matter, so long as he remained alive.”

“That’s rather brave of you… Kaito,” Yusuke said patting Kaito on the back, “To go up against an entire army on your own, I honestly don’t I think either of us could do that.”

“Well, that’s what friends do,” Kaito said with a smirk, “They look out for one another, and they’ll do anything to make sure the other is alright,” He looked down the hill to Cole, Tara, Carter and Shiore, “That’s something those four know better than any of us.”

“I guess that’s true,” Yusuke returned with a grin, “However, I think we all know that even with their strong bond they won’t be enough to stand against Tsukasa,” He looked up to Ardent Tower, “Back during the rider war, Tsukasa defeated and killed every rider that stood against him,” he balled his hand up into a fist, “There’s no way they’ll be able to defeat him on their own.”

“Well then let’s go and give them a hand,” a voice called out. The trio looked up slightly as a small white bat descended from above, “If you feel that those four don’t stand a chance against Tsukasa, then why not help them to even the odds?”

“Kivara,” Natsumi exclaimed, “I was wondering where you wandered off to.”

“Wandering implies that I went around not knowing where I was, I however knew exactly where I was the entire time so you can’t really call that wandering now can you?” Kivara retorted in a snarking tone of voice, “It’s quite the same for you three. You know where you are where you’ve come from and where you’ll be going, correct?”

Kaito smirked, “As if you even had to ask.” He twirled his blaster in his hand and rested it on his shoulder, “Tsukasa is our responsibility. We’ll help those four fight him, then we’ll give him a good smack on his head.”

“That is exactly the response I wanted to hear,” Kivara said joyfully flapping her wings about, “Now we mustn’t dilly dally, so let’s get a move on!”

Tara dragged Cole and Carter towards Ardent Tower at high speed as Shiore ran close behind them. As the four drew closer to the base of the tower a stray laser blast came out of nowhere and struck the ground in front of them stopping them dead in their tracks.

The four turned to see where the shot came from as out from a cloud of fog came a black rider with light silver armor and red highlights lining his suit. A large circular visor and shark like fin adorned his helmet.

“Argh! Another rider!” Tara grunted, “this is getting really annoying. Who in the ever loving hell is he anyway?”

“That would be the fourth Heisei Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Faiz” Kaito explained as he Natsumi and Yusuke walked up from behind the four, “ It figures Tsukasa would set up some form of blockade in the event that we attempted to interrupt his fight with this world’s chosen rider.”

“One rider stands between us and Tsukasa,” Natsumi stated, “and I’m guessing the others aren’t far behind him.”

“Others?” Cole asked turning to Natsumi, “What do you mean ‘others’?”

At that moment the fog around Faiz cleared revealing seven other riders including the two which Yusuke and Natsumi fought earlier.

Natsumi sighed, “I hate it when I’m right.”

“Well, I for one hate losing,” Tara said cracking her knuckles. Her usual smirk appeared on her face as she held up her Gale gaia memory and Kree transformed into her driver, “So let’s not and win instead.”

Cole, Carter and Shiore nodded as they raised their gaia memories in line with Tara’s and hit the buttons below the labels of their respective memories.

“Gale! Rock! Yuki! Ryu-O!”

Tara turned back to Kaito, Natsumi and Yusuke, “You guys gonna join in?” The trio nodded and got in line with the other four, “You all ready?”

“Ready!” The others shouted as they all took a step forward. They all struck their transformation stances, Kivara fluttering in Natsumi’s right hand and Kaito placing a card into the side of hist blast before pointing it into the air above his head.

“Henshin!” The seven shouted as Cole, Tara, Shiore and Carter slammed their Gaia Memories into their drivers, Kaito pulling on the trigger of his blaster and Yusuke and Natsui running through their respective transformation motions.

“Gale! Rock! Yuki! Ryu-O! Kamen Ride, DiEnd!” shouted several drivers as all the riders respective armor formed around them in rapid succession.

“Alright,” Tara cracked her knuckles, “How should we divide this up?”

“You Rock and Kuuga will take care of Den-O, Blade and Faiz,” Kaito instructed gesturing over to the yellow eyed rider with the shark fin on his head along with a red-eyed silver and blue rider that had a spade emblazoned on his chest who stood beside and red silver rider with railway tracks running all over his armor.

Tara shrugged, “Seems easy enough.”

“Kivara, you and Yuki will handle Kiva and Hibiki,” Kaito said gesturing to the same bat-like rider Natsumi had fought earlier who stood beside a rider who resembled a blue demon with a blank face holding what appeared to be two large drum sticks in his hands.

Shiore looked over to three other riders who stood close to the center of the mob, one with blue eyes and the likeness of a red rhinoceros beetle, another whose armor resembled a red chinese dragon along with the gold horned rider Yusuke fought at the top of the hill.

“What about those three?” Shiore asked.

“You leave Agito, Ryuki and Kabuto to me and the dragon boy,” Kaito returned, he looked over to Carter, “Sound good?”

Carter nodded.

“Alright,” Kaito said cocking his blaster, “then let’s get moving.”

Tsukasa slashed at Alex with his sword, only to have Alex evade it by a hair nearly causing him to fall over backwards. Tsukasa slashed at Alex five more times and Alex evaded each one yet again. Tsukasa brought his sword up for a stabbing motion, however Alex caught it in the sleeve of his sweater which resulted in the blade running right through his sleeve.

Tsukasa smirked under his mask, “I must say I’m impressed.”

“Ditto,” Alex returned gritting his teeth, “I’ll admit... you’re a lot tougher than you look.”

“Too bad flattery will get you nowhere.”

Tsukasa forced his blade down through Alex’s sweater tearing half of it to shreds. Alex fell to the ground as the sound of three small objects hitting against the steel roof of the tower echoed through the air. Alex looked over to the source of the sound, his eyes widened as he laid sight upon the familiar shape of three gaia memories.

“Blast, Blade… and Star,” he said grabbing hold of the three memories, “The first two were obvious, however I didn’t know what star was supposed to mean… not at first anyway.” He tightly gripped the memories in his hand as his driver materialized around his waist, “however… now I do.”

“What are you babbling on about now?”

“A light in dark times… a light that brings hope,” He whispered slipping Blade and Blast into his back pocket and pulling out Runner before placing the two memories into their respective slots, “henshin,” he split apart the slots on his driver, “Star… Runner.”

Tsukasa switched his sword into a gun and shot Alex back into the outer wall of the tower.

He sighed and began to approach Alex, “Pathetic”

Tara leapt across several cars chasing after, the red rail covered rider Den-O.

“Damn it!” She grunted pulling her flail from off the back of her belt and hurling it at Den-O, “Quit bouncing around!”

Den-O grabbed four components off of his belt and assembled them into the shape of a sword. In one quick motion he blocked Tara’s flail with his sword and grabbed the chain pulling Tara towards him. Tara was forced over to Den-O only to be kicked away just as quickly, losing her hold on her flail in the process.

“Damn it what is with this guy!” Tara shouted jumping back on her feet.

“Den-O always was a pain,” Yusuke proclaimed, jumping over to Tara with his back to her. He deflected a few laser blasts off his arm guards, “Just be glad he isn’t the real thing.”

“Good point,” Tara returned pulling out her slicer, “If all they are is a bunch of fakes then there should be no problem in kicking their fake asses to the gutter!”

Shiore and Natsumi stood back to back as Kiva and Hibiki circled around them.

“You holding up alright Yuki?” Natsumi asked.

“My sparring matches with my brother are more of a challenge then these guys,” Shiore returned, “I can handle anything they can throw at me.”

Natsumi tightened her grip on her sword, “I hope you’re right about that.”

Alex stumbled around until he regained his balance. He pulled the Star memory out of its slot on his driver and placed it into the slot on the side of his belt, “Star… Maximum Drive...” He charged at Tsukasa “Extreme Star Storm!” He cried out throwing a punch in Tsukasa’s face pushing him back a few inches.

Tsukasa looked Alex dead in the eye, “Mind telling me what you’re doing?”

Alex gritted his teeth as he slowly pulled his arm back.

“I see,” Tsukasa punched Alex in the gut and rammed him into the outer wall of the tower, “Then I suppose that all you’ve done up until now was just a waste of time, wasn’t it?” He released his hold on Alex and let him fall flat on his face, “You can’t deny it, don’t even try. Be honest with yourself you had absolutely no idea what the hell you were even doing right from the start. All this ‘I must protect this city’ nonsense, that was just a big lie wasn’t it?”

“Shut up!” Alex shouted, “You have no idea what you’re even talking about!”

Tsukasa raised an eyebrow, “Oh really… then let me ask you a question,” he turned to Alex and looked him in the eye, “I’ve seen what this world has become. There isn’t a monster or rider in sight, it’s become somewhat of a paradise so to speak. So why are you going to all this trouble to get it back to the way it was?” Alex growled, Tsukasa sighed, “and you claim I don’t know what I talking about, just look at yourself.”

Alex raised an eyebrow, “how do you mean?”

“You’re one sorry excuse for a rider, you know that?” Tsukasa proclaimed, “You had one single job and you blew it, and what makes it worse is that you don’t even have a proper name to call yourself.”

“What does that have to do with anything?”

“A name reflects it’s owner does it not? To have a name is the proof of one’s existence. But what if the name does not exist? Does it mean that thing doesn’t exist, or is it simply unfit to have one in the first place?” Tsukasa turned to Alex and looked him dead in the eye, “Face it, you are no Kamen Rider. To refer to as one would be a disgrace,” he added slapping Alex across his face knocking him to the ground, “just curl up and die already.”

Alex clawed his way to his knees, “Damn you… Decade.”

“I find it funny,” Tsukasa began, stepping on Alex’s hand in the process, “People keeping putting the blame on me for crimes I wasn’t even around to commit. I always wondered why that was, maybe it’s because they need someone other than themselves to blame for why their own lives getting turned upside down. They place the blame on others, as if to escape the idea that it was their own actions that landed them where they ended up,” Tsukasa sighed, “and yet they still have the nerve to continue fighting. It’s pathetic really.”

“You’re wrong.”

Tsukasa turned back to Alex, “What was that?”

“I’m not putting the blame on you,” Alex stated, forcing Tsukasa’s foot off his hand and quickly kicking himself away from him, “the only person I have to blame is myself. All I have against you is the fact that you’re the one standing in my way.”

Alex’s phone then fell into his face. Tsukasa flipped open the phone and brought up a photo of him with Sarah, Cole, Madison and Tara along with several blurred after images around the blond haired rider.

“Tell me something. The people in this photo, surely they must be worth something to you,” he closed the phone once again and stood up, “Time’s up, it’s time to make your decision,” he proclaimed kicking Alex over on his side, “Why go to all this trouble to go back to the world you were trying hard to escape from? Surely you must have at least one reason for it.”

“Yeah, of course I do!” Alex shouted. He jumped to his feet and looked Tsukasa in the eye, a small spark igniting within his own, “It’s because there are still people in that world that I feel obligated to protect. If I gave up on them now I wouldn’t be able to live with myself. That’s why I won’t ever give up, you hear me Decade!”

Tsukasa raised an eyebrow, “Why do you insist on fighting if you’re certain you’ll lose?”

“Because I have a promise to keep, and I’m going to keep it,” Alex proclaimed wiping blood from his mouth, “and no one is going to stop me. Not Fury, Vainglory or you.”

“If you won’t give up,” Tsukasa raised his blaster up to Alex, “then you’ll die.”

Back on the ground, the case in Kaito’s hand broke open and the device inside shot up into the air, Kaito and Carter watching in awe as it disappeared into the thick layer of clouds in the sky above.

“What is that thing?” Carter asked.

Kaito sighed, “Fine, I might as well tell you the truth,” Kaito turned back to Carter, “From what I’ve read it’s an expansion part for the X Driver. Once activated, the X Driver will realize it’s full potential and truly awaken.” He let out a small sigh, “I was hoping to use it myself… but it appears to be too late for that.”

“I get what you’re saying,” Carter looked back to Ryuki, Agito and Kabuto who still stood behind them ready to fight. He raised his sword and rested it on his shoulder, “but I think
it’s the least of our problems at the moment.”

Back atop the tower, Tsukasa pulled back on the trigger of his blaster, firing off a single shot towards Alex. As the shot drew closer to Alex, the device from the case Kaito was carrying flew down from the sky and intercepted the shot sending out a blinding light upon impact.

Tsukasa blocked the harsh light with his offhand, “The hell is that?”

“Whatever it is…” Alex whispered to himself reaching out to the light and grabbing the source of it, “I hope it can help.”


Alex opened his eyes to find himself in a blank white void which seemed to stretch on forever, with no beginning or end to it nor a top or bottom.

“Hello!” He called out looking for any sign of life or movement, “Is anybody out there?”

“Congratulations Alex,” A voice called out, “I always hoped you would be able to do it, and for once I’m glad to be right.”

Alex turned around to see a rider with a butterfly shaped mask and a driver similar to his only with a single slot rather that two. The armor around her quickly vanished to reveal a elderly woman with light chestnut hair and sapphire blue eyes.

Alex’s eye widened, “... Mother?”

The woman nodded, “It’s been far too long,” she said holding her arms out to Alex, “I’ve missed you.”

“Mother!” Alex shouted jumping into the arms of his late mother.

“My my you’ve certainly grown quite a bit haven’t you,” Alice patted Alex on the head, “You’re no longer my little boy, you’ve made me so proud.”

“Mom, where are we?”

“Right now, we’re in the rift between worlds. The place where all things begin and where they eventually meet their end,” Alice grinned, “and now, this is where your journey shall meet it’s end and a new one shall begin.”

Alice proclaimed. Just then two white doors materialized on either side of the her and Alex, one marked with a red x and the other blank.

“Doors?” Alex asked raising an eyebrow, “Where do they lead?”

“One leads to a world in the midst of chaos at the hands of dopants and gaia memories, the other a paradise with no monsters and no riders,” Alice stated placing her son down on his feet, “and now it’s time for you to choose, which world do you wish to go back to?”

Alex looked over to the blank door, then over to the one marked with a red x. He then looked down to the device in his hand that had moments ago saved his life, “I’ve already made my decision,” he said looking over to the blank door once again, “a world like that just doesn’t seem right. Besides, I just can’t abandon the people who need me.”

“You’ll go back to that world, even though saving it might end up being hopeless?”

“Cole once said that I was just wasting my time watching anime all the time, but there’s one single line that makes me glad I did,” Alex looked his mother in the eye with a grin, “If someone ever tells me that it’s a mistake to have hope I’ll just tell them that they’re wrong, and I’ll keep telling them until they believe… no matter how many times it takes.”

“Well then if that’s the case then it’s time that you got this back,” Alice said handing over the X Driver to Alex, “This damn thing has caused quite a bit of trouble hasn’t it? But I believe that in your hands in can do some good.” She placed the driver into Alex’s hands, “You think you can do that, Kamen Rider Xtreme?”

“What was that?”

“Every hero needs a name, and that shall be yours,” Alice proclaimed.

“What does a name like that even mean?”

“I think I’ll leave that part up to you,” Alice grinned and placed her hand on the top of Alex’s head, “Sound good?”

Alex nodded, “Yes.”

“That’s exactly what I wanted to hear,” Alice said bowing her head. “Now then,” she turned on her heel, “what about you?... Tsukasa Kadoya.”

Alex looked over his mother’s shoulder to see Tsukasa standing on the other side of her.

“My journey is my world,” Tsukasa stated looking over to the x marked door, “So I’m going to continue it no matter what comes my way.”

“Excellent,” Alice said clapping her hands together, “then the journey for the two of you shall continue. Only this time because you choose it to.”

Alex and Tsukasa made their way over to the x marked door, Alex grabbing the handle.

Before turning it he stopped and turned back to Alice, “Wait a moment, aren’t you coming with us?”

Alice shook her head, “My journey ended long ago. But you needn’t worry, I’ll always be watching over you. So go on, you have people waiting that need you.”

“Alright, thanks mom… for everything.”

“Ready?” Tsukasa asked.

Alex raised an eyebrow, “huh?”

“Once you walk through this door there’s no going back,” Tsukasa proclaimed looking Alex in the eye, “You sure about this?”

Alex nodded, “I am.”

“Good,” Tsukasa pulled down on the handle of the door and forced it open, “Then let’s get going.”

Alex and Tsukasa stepped through the door, a blinding light engulfing the two riders as they did so. As the light faded, Alex and Tsukasa found themselves standing in the street below Ardent Tower with all the damage done to it seemingly all repaired.

“It seems to be that we’ve been sent back to before our battle broke out,” Tsukasa stated.

Just then Tsukasa felt a pinch in the side of his neck causing him to burst out laughing before falling to his knees. He looked behind him to see Natsumi glaring angrily back at him, Yusuke and Kaito standing directly behind her.

“Ha ha Natsumi?” Tsukasa cried laughing uncontrollably, “W-what are you doing here?”

“I should ask you the same question,” Natsumi returned, “Could we please visit a world without you going on a rampage please?”

“Alright alright!” Tsukasa pleaded, “Just stop with that damn laughing pressure point!”

Natsumi extended her hand out to Tsukasa, “deal.”

“Superstar!” A voice shouted. Alex turned around as a pair a feet flew down from the sky hitting him square the face knocking him to ground. “Are you alright! You aren’t hurt at all are? What year is this? What’s the color of a Kyokai Sayaka’s spirit stone?”

“No, 2013, it’s Kyoko Sakura not Kyokai Sayaka and it’s a soul gem not a spirit stone,” Alex said, his eye twitching a bit. “it’s red by the way.”

“Phew,” Tara sighed wiping sweat from her forehead, “that’s a relief.”

“Alright, that’s enough now get off him already,” Cole instructed pulling Tara off of Alex. Shiore standing directly behind him.

Tara looked back to Cole and scratched the back of her head, “Whoops, sorry about that.”

“You alright Al?” Cole asked helping Alex off the ground.

“Yeah, I’m fine,” Alex returned getting back onto his feet, “Thanks.”

“Xtreme,” Tsukasa called out grabbing Alex’s attention, “Sorry for all the trouble I caused you and your friends.”

“Oh no, it’s alright,” Alex returned bowing to Tsukasa, “You don’t need to apologize for anything. I’m just thankful that everything turned out alright.”

Tsukasa shrugged, “If you say so.”

“Hey rider trash!” a beastly voice lashed out, “I’m still here! Don’t ignore me!”

The riders turned to the source of the voice to see the Glitch Dopant standing a few feet down the road from where they all stood.

“So you’re still alive Glitch?” Carter asked as he appeared beside Tara, “Now I get why you’re modeled after a cockroach.”

“Shut your mouth Ryu-O!” Glitch shouted at Carter, “My organization has put up with META’s crap for long enough and now I’m putting an end to it!”

Carter raised an eyebrow, “What organization would that be?”

“Oh wouldn’t you like to know,” Glitch chuckled, “Tell you what, you beat me in a fight and I’ll tell you all about it. Sound good?”

“One condition,” Alex spoke out, “We move the fight to somewhere other than the city.”

Glitch smirked, “Deal,” he then leapt up into the air and sprouted wings, “There’s an old quarry just outside the city, meet me there in less than half an hour! Otherwise, I’ll light up this entire city!” He shouted before disappearing beyond the horizon.

“Carter, would you mind if we had a truce for the time being?” Alex asked.

“Fine by me,” Carter returned.

“Good, then you and Tara go after Glitch from the skies. Cole, Shiore and I will follow on the ground.”

“Understood,” Carter nodded pulling out his gaia memory and placing it into his driver, Tara quickly doing the same.

“Gale! Ryu-O!”

Tara and Carter’s formed around them as the two shot up into the sky.

“Tsukasa,” Alex said turning to the world traveler, “I know we didn’t really get off on the right foot, but just this once,” he extended his hand to Tsukasa, “you think we can work together?”

Tsukasa smirked, “I try to kill you and you turn around and ask me for help. I’m not sure if you’re a saint or an idiot,” he reached out his hand and grabbed ahold of Alex’s, “To so easily forgive someone is a rare trait. I’d gladly fight along side someone like that.”

In a quarry just out the city, Glitch touchdown atop a large mound of dirt and gravel causing a wave of dust to whip up into the air. Glitch turned around as Tara and Carter touched down a few feet away from the small mound.

“So… you two want to take me on first?” Glitch asked with a smirk on his face.

Tara and Carter stepped back a few as the roar of several motorcycles filled the air. With in seconds, Alex, Tsukasa, Cole and Yuusuke road into the quarry on the bikes with Natsumi, Shiore and Kaito on the back seats of Alex’s, Tsukasa’s and Cole’s.

“If you wish to fight two of us, you better be prepared to take on all of us,” Tsukasa proclaimed as he removed his helmet and hopped off his bike, “For an attack on one is an attack on all.”

“You sound determined,” Glitch chuckled, “unfortunately for you determination does not equal strength.”

“That might be true, but with said determination you can eventually find strength along the way,” Tsukasa proclaimed taking a few steps forward, “Even in the face of doubt, if you keep on moving and never lose hope you can overcome any obstacle,” Tsukasa looked over to Alex, “All that you need is something worth fighting for.”

“Damn you Decade!” Glitch shouted, “what in the hell are you anyway?”

“I am only a kamen rider that’s passing through,” Tsukasa stated pulling a card from his back pocket and holding it up to Glitch, “Remember that!... Henshin!”

Tsukasa flipped the card over and slipped it into his driver, closing it with a quick motion of his hands, “Kamen Ride, Decade!” his driver shouted as seven red cards shot out of his driver and embedded themselves into his head as grey armour formed around him, becoming a vibrant magenta as the cards formed the mask of his helmet.

Kaito flipped his blaster up and slipped a card into the side of it, cocking it once before pointing it up to the sky and pulling back on the trigger, “Henshin!”

“Kamen Ride, DiEnd!” Kaito’s blaster called out as three multicolored silhouettes shot out of the barrel of his blaster and circled around him becoming his armor.

Cole and Shiore stepped forward and pulled out their gaia memories pressing down on the buttons below their labels.

“Rock! Yuki!”

“Henshin!”

“Rock! Yuki!” their drivers cried out as the two became engulfed in their respected elements which quickly broke off revealing them in their rider forms.

Kivara flew into Natsumi’s hand as Yusuke struck his signature transformation pose, “Henshin!” the two cried out as Yusuke dawned his red beetle armor and Natsumi her armor in the form of a white bat.

“Aw, eight riders,” Glitch spoke up, “but it appears you have one missing. I wonder, how that could be?”

Alex held his driver firmly in his hand, his eyes fixed upon it. He tightened his grip on it before slapping it onto his waist, two belt straps shooting out of it and connecting at the back locking in place.

Glitch chuckled, “I already broke it, you’re truly braindead if you think that piece of scrap metal will still work!”

“If you call me an idiot for having hope, I’ll just tell you that you’re wrong,” Alex proclaimed as he pulled out the Star and Runner memories from his back pocket and placed them into his driver, “and I’ll keep telling you until you believe it, now matter how long it takes,” he placed his hands over the slots on his driver and was about to split them apart from one another when all of a sudden the same black and red device flew down from the sky and slid itself onto of the Star and Runner memories as if it and the driver were always meant to be connected to one another.

“Go on,” Kaito said out of nowhere grabbing Alex’s attention, “That gaia memory was always meant to be in your possession. Besides, you’ve more than earned it.”

Alex nodded before turning back to Glitch, “I might not have known what exactly it was that I was doing back when all this began,” Alex proclaimed stepping forward to beside Tsukasa, “however that was a long time ago. I now know what I must do and that’s protecting the people and city I care about from people like you.” Alex shouted pointing his hand in the shape of a gun at the dopant, “Xtreme’s journey begins now, and your rampage… ends here. Henshin!”

Alex split the slots on his driver apart as a whirlwind erupted from the center of the memory. “Star! Runner!... XTREEEEEEME!!!” Alex’s new gaia memory called out as his standard Star Runner armour formed around him before a silver line formed down the middle of his entire body and rippled outward until the silver gap covered the inner portion of his body from head to toe.

Four red Xs then shot out from the memory, two embedding themselves on Alex’s ankles, another forming his mask behind a pair of fiery amber eyes and the fourth and final splitting in half with each half wrapping around his shoulder pads giving of the illusion of a X across his chest. In the center of the gap emblazoned an emblem made up of the head of wolf with a pair of dragon wings below it, eagle wings at either side and a pair of minotaur horns at the top. Three claw like blades adorned his forearms.

“You guys think you’re so tough? Well I’ll show you!” Glitch shouted as he planted his feet and divided himself into three, one red another blue and the center one green. “Let’s see how you fuckers handle this!”

The red and blue glitches raised their arms into the air as a massive black hole looking ball of energy formed above them before the two hurled it at the riders. The riders jumped to either side of the ball’s path, Kaito Cole Shiore and Tsukasa going on one side with Alex Tara Carter Yusuke and Natsumi on the other.

“Guess it’s time for a bit more firepower,” Tsukasa thought to himself as he pulled out a smartphone like device and switched it on revealing nine buttons each representing one of the nine riders that came before him.

“Kuuga! Agito! Ryuki! Faiz! Blade! Hibiki! Kabuto! Den-O! Kiva!” the smartphone called out as Tsukasa hit each of the buttons in the order they appeared on the phone. He flipped the phone over and brought it to his belt and removed the center of his driver before attaching the phone onto his belt and moving the core of his driver of to the side of his waste.

Nine cards materialized across his chest for each of the nine heisei riders along with a single card with a image of the form he now took on his forehead. His armor changing from magenta to silver with two stripes of magenta bordering the nine cards on his chest, his eyes switching from green to red.

“Yusuke!” Tsukasa shouted to Kuuga as he pulled out a card and threw it into the core of his driver and pressed down on it.

“Final Kamen Ride, Rising!” The core shouted as the cards on Tsukasa’s chest switched over to a golden form of Kuuga with jet black eyes as Yusuke took on the same form.

“Tara! Shiore! Cole! You’re with Natsumi, you handle the blue” Alex instructed jumping over with Yusuke to Tsukasa, “Carter and DiEnd go for the red.”

“Right, on it,” Carter and Kaito nodded.

“That leaves us with the green,” Yusuke said cracking his knuckles, “This should be fun.”

Tara and Cole dashed over to the blue Glitch encircling it before finally knocking it over to the side. Tara swung her flail at the blue Glitch wrapping it around him keeping him pinned to the ground.

“Alright ladies,” Tara called out to Cole, Shiore and Natsumi, “bring her home.”

Shiore and Cole removed their gaia memories from their driver and inserted them into the slots on their weapons, Natsumi charging up her own sword as a pair of bright pink wings sprout from her.

“Rock! Maximum Drive! Yuki! Maximum Drive!”

The three riders fired off their respective finishers at the blue Glitch all at once resulting in a giant explosion erupting from where the double had been chained.

Back on the other side of the quarry, Kaito and Carter faced off against the red Glitch.

“Seems a little unfair to send us off alone,” Carter sighed.

“It’s not that big a deal. Besides,” Kaito pulled out two rider cards and held them up to Carter, “gives me a chance to test these guys out.”

He slid the two cards into his blaster, cocked it once and pulled the trigger.

“Kamen Ride, Magica! Invocateur!” Kaito’s blaster called out as two shots fired off from his blaster, one becoming Magica, a pink and white magical girl styled rider with blond hair and pink vibrant eyes and the other Invocateur, a white sorcerer marked with gold accents donning a white cloak and mage’s hat. In his hand he held a single rose.

Magica glared over to Invocateur and slapped him over the head causing him to drop the rose. Invocateur dove to the ground and picked up the rose and handed it over to Magica. DiEnd tapped the two on the head getting their attention, he then pointed towards the red Glitch that stood before them. Within moments, the two summoned riders pulled out staff like weapons and charged at the Dopant’s double.

“Are they supposed to act up like that?” Carter asked.

Kaito shrugged, “I just ask for their help, I don’t control what they do.”

Magica and Invocateur ran past the red glitch throwing two heavy slashes at him sending him to his knees. They then switched the spell rings on their hands with one marks with several chains and swiped it over their drivers.

“Bind! Onegai? Liaison! S'il vous plaît!” Their drivers shouted as several chains sprouted from the ground pinning the red glitch double where he stood.

Kaito then pulled out a card and slipped it into the side of his driver as Carter spun the dragon head in the center of his driver clockwise generating a ring of fire.

“Final Attack Ride, DiEnd! Ryu-O Maximum Drive!” Their drivers both shouted as a twister of holographic cards swarmed around the barrel of Kaito’s blaster and a massive fire ball formed in Carter’s hand.

Carter and Kaito fired off both their finishers reducing the double to smoke and ash. Now only one Glitch dopant remained, the original. Alex, Tsukasa and Yusuke approached Glitch at a steady pace, Glitch standing his ground and refusing to move.

“Well Glitch, looks like this is the end of the line,” Alex stated as he held out his hand as a black a red sword formed in his hand with four maximum drive slots on the guard and one at the end of the hilt. Tsukasa switching his blaster into it’s sword mode and Yusuke cracking his knuckles.

Yusuke charged up his fist as it was engulfed in a red flame as Tsukasa pulled out a card and placed it into his driver, Alex closing and opening his driver in one quick motion.

“Xtreme! Maximum Drive! Final Kamen Ride, D-D-D-Decade!” Alex and Tsukasa’s drivers shouted as Yusuke lunched at Glitch throwing his flaming fist at the dopant. Alex and Tsukasa then turned to one another, nodded, then jumped into the air and propelled themselves forward at Glitch in a combined rider kick resulting in a massive explosion which engulfed Glitch whole.

Glitch fell down on the ground as the smoke faded, Tsukasa reverting back to his default rider form and Alex walking over to Glitch. Alex picked Glitch up and forced him to his feet.

“Alright, now tell us who it is you’re working for,” Alex demanded looking Glitch in the eye.

“Hehehe,” Glitch laughed, “I only agreed to tell you when you beat me, and seeing as how I’m still in my dopant form I’d say the battle is far from over.” He cackled as sparks began to fly off of him.

“Xtreme, get away from him!” Tsukasa shouted as he switched his sword back to blaster mode and fired off a few shots at Glitch forcing him back a few feet.

“You riders make me sick!” Glitch shouted as the sparks flying off of him intensified. “If I’m going down I’m dragging you all with me!”

Glitch then began to grow in size and become more beast like, crawling around on all fours instead of two. Within seconds he towered over all the riders and let out a roar that shook the entire quarry.

“Oh great, and I thought this guy was annoying before!” Tara exclaimed as the riders regrouped.

Alex looked over his shoulder to Ardent City off in the distance, “If he gets to the city like this there’s no telling what he might do. We need to take care of him now.”

“You have a strong heart Xtreme,” Tsukasa proclaimed, “I was wrong to claim that you were a disgrace. You have the makings of a fine rider indeed.”

Just then a light shone out from the book on the side of Tsukasa’s belt. The book opened as three cards flew out and into Tsukasa’s hand, illuminating as they made contact.

Alex looked at the cards and saw a picture of his Star Runner form on one of them, “What are those?”

“The proof that you are a rider,” Tsukasa proclaimed as pulled one card from the trio and opened his driver.

Tsukasa placed the card into his driver and swiped it closed, "Final Form Ride, Xtreme!"

“This might tickle a bit.” he said before slapping Alex on the back. As he did so four light colored in yellow, green, blue and red shot off from his back and into the chests of Tara, Cole, Shiore and Carter.

The four of them then transformed into the heads of their respective animals. Tara and eagle, Cole a minotaur, Shiore a wolf and Carter a dragon before sliding onto Alex’s sword with Carter at the hilt, then Shiore and Cole with Tara forming the end of the blade.

Tsukasa blinked for a moment, “I think I understand now. Your true power does not come from your own strength but from the strength of others,” he smirked as he grabbed another card from his hand, “Well, then this next one should prove quite interesting.”

Tsukasa placed the card into his driver and slammed it closed once again.

“Final Attack Ride, Xtreme!” Tsukasa’s driver shouted as the gaia memories of the four riders then broke off from them and slid themselves into the maximum drive slots on the guard of Alex’s sword with Alex’s own star memory being placed in the slot atop the handle.

“Gale! Maximum Drive! Rock! Maximum Drive! Yuki! Maximum Drive! Ryu-O! Maximum Drive! Star! Maximum Drive!”

A red surge of energy formed around the blade of Alex’s sword and in one final swing Alex sent all the power that he and the other riders had left hurling towards the giant rampaging Glitch in one massive strike resulting in a massive explosion which engulfed the entire quarry in the blast.

After a few moments the smoke cleared, revealing every rider had reverted to their civilian form except for Alex and Tsukasa.

Tara looked around for Carter, but it seems as though he had already disappeared while the fallout was settling.

Alex and Tsukasa turned to each other before powering down their drivers reverting them to their civilian forms. The two exchange a small smirk between themselves.

Tsukasa reached into his pocket and pulled out Alex’s cell phone, “This… should be yours.” He said handing the phone over to Alex.

Alex shook his head, “I don’t need it anymore. Besides, it will only serve as a reminder of the past and will prevent me from moving forward into the future”

Tsukasa shrugged, “If you say so,” he said slipping the phone back into his pocket and turning his back to Alex. He took a few steps forward then stopped, “That driver… I’ve seen one other like it,” he said turning back to Alex, “It belonged to a strong rider. I hope I can see the day when you become as strong as they were.”

Alex nodded, “I will be… count on it.”

“I’ll hold you to it then,” Tsukasa said with a smirk, “Kamen Rider Xtreme.”

A grey doorway descended down in front of Tsukasa, he walked through it as the doorway faded away without a trace.

“I’ll be sure to keep that promise,” Alex thought to himself, “Tsukasa.”

“Come on guys! Hurry up!” Tara demanded skipping down the street, Alex, Cole and Shiore a good distance behind her.

“Would it kill you to slow down every once and a while?” Shiore asked.

“You kidding? We’re like a shark, we’ve gotta keep swimming forward or we’ll drown!” Tara returned, “Besides, the studio isn’t too far ahead now. We promised Ejiro we’d come back soon and it’s soon.”

The group turned a corner and reached the front entrance of a cafe style building.

“So… why are we here again?” Alex asked.

“Oh yeah, you weren’t with us the last time,” Tara said snapping her fingers, “Well then, you are in for a treat.” She extended her hand out to Alex, “Superstar, welcome to Hikari Studios, the finest provider of coffee in the universe!”

Shiore sighed, “We going in or are you just going to talk about it all day?”

“Fair point, we don’t want to keep the people waiting,” Tara returned running through the front door of the building. Cole and Shiore following shortly after.

Alex looked up at a sign across the top of the building, “Cat’s Eye Cafe… this a shared building or something?”

“Excuse me sir!” a voice called out.

Alex turned over to his right to the sight of a middle aged man in a trench coat and glasses running up beside him.

Alex raised an eyebrow, “Uh… can I help you?”

“Yes,” the man panted, “would you have by any chance ran into a man named Decade anywhere in this world?” He grabbed hold of Alex, “He didn’t hurt you by any chance did he?”

Alex scratched the back of his head, “I’m afraid you just missed him… and no, I’m fine.”

The man in the trenchcoat let out a sigh of relief, “Thank god,” he let go of Alex, “Do you have any idea where he went?”

Alex shrugged, “he said something about going to the next world.”

“When was this?”

“Yesterday.”

“Then there’s still time,” the man in the trenchcoat proclaimed before taking off down the road, “Thanks Xtreme!”

Alex’s eyes widened, “Hey wait a minute minute, who are you and how do you know who I am?” He called out but by the time the man in the trenchcoat had already disappeared.

“GAH!” Tara shouted at an ear shatteringly high volume.

Alex ran slammed the door of the building open and burst into the front room of a cafe, “What’s wrong?”

“YOU’VE GOTTA BE FREAKIN KIDDING!” Tara cried out from the front entrance way of the cafe, “You there!” Tara shouted to a young woman behind a desk, "EXPLAIN THIS, RIGHT NOW!"

The woman blinked her eyes, "Um, come again?"

"Don't you 'Come again' me!" Tara yelled as she stormed up to the woman and slammed her hands down on the desk, "There was a photography studio here yesterday! Where the hell is it?!"

Shiore bonked Tara on the top of her head, “Calm down already,” she sighed. “Weren’t you saying that this place’s cakes were to die for? If it will shut you up I’ll give one a try.”

Tara blinked for a moment, “You serious?”

“Dead.”

Tara turned back to the lady at the front desk and held up four fingers to her, “Miss, table for four please!”

The lady nodded, “Yes, right away Ms Evonna.”

“Those two are like a pair of sisters sometimes you know,” Cole chuckled. “Wouldn’t you say so?”

“That’s one way of putting it I guess,” Alex said quietly.

Cole raised an eyebrow, “Something wrong?”

“Oh no I’m fine,” Alex returned scratching the back of his neck, “it’s just that, I kind of wish I had gotten to talk with Tsukasa and the others a little more.”

Cole patted Alex on the shoulder, “Don’t worry, I’m sure we’ll see them again.” He slipped his hands into his pockets and made his way over to where Tara and Shiore were headed, “but we can cross that bridge when we get to it, for now let’s just enjoy the quiet moments while we still can.”

“I guess you’re right,” Alex said aloud to himself, “I hope we can meet again somewhere in the world... Kamen Rider Decade.”

Thank you all for supporting Kamen Rider Xtreme for the past year. It means a lot to hear that so many people have enjoyed the series thus far and I hope you continue to show your support for where ever else I choose to take this series.
