"Aw man.!Look, I know I'm a jerk. You know that I'm a jerk too. Heck even my girlfriend knows that I'm a jerk! Can't we just leave it at that and let bygones be bygones?" Ben was trying his darnest to avoid having to fight this man who looks like a greaser but so far he's deadset on showing him the error of his ways, as that is what "Kamen Riders" do. He wasn't sure what a Kamen Rider is but if there're anything like this Gentaro fellow then they must be some serious believers in karma and it, as well as Gentaro's attacks, are going to hit him upside the head at long last.

Just before the fistfight could start JK was stunned to see something from the corner of his eye: The Scorpio, Aries and Cancer Zodiarts were here too and where heading their way. Flanking the rear was a new Horoscope that he never saw before, a frightening jester in black and white with red and blue highlights was hanging his head down low as if in shame. He knew it was stupid that they came here because Gen was offended by Ben's antics but if he's willing to pummel a somewhat innocent boy that deal with the more pressing threat then what was he really? "Gentaro-san! Those commanders have shown up and they look rather unhappy about something!" That thankfully got Gen's attention in full as he knew they should be defeated but apparently the head honcho saw it fit to bring them back for something big. As Aries and Cancer attacked the people of Bellwood he knew that he had to take action now.

"Friends of yours" Ben asked unsurely. Judging by how he and JK were acting now these guys were big trouble and he may need help with this. Getting a look that said 'We're allies for now' from the greaser boy he dialed in what he thought was Chromastone as the boy placed four small devices into a cluckly belt. Wacthing with a smirk on his face as he flipped down the four red toggles and pulled the level he was thankfully that his Omnitrixes were never that annoying to use. Gentaro shot him a angry look as he transformed in Kamen Rider Fourze and Ben could not hold in his laughter as his Rider form was to be honest silly to behold.

In his white Base States form Gen tried to pay the green jacketed boy no mind but even as thick skinned as he was something about him just rubbed him the wrong way. Trying to tune out his laughter he placed the Wheel Switch into the Triangle slot and flicked it on.

"WHEEL ON!"

Using the odd device to race towards the four monsters he defected the attacks of Aries and Cancer with the Shield Module and wasted no time in hitting Scorpio with a Rider Punch with the Rocket Module. Powering down all three devices he then crouched down and then raised his arms overhead, happily procliaming "UCHU KITA! Kamen Rider Fourze! Let's settle things man to man!" to the new Horoscope.

Poor Yuki was in a state of total shock. Here Gen was and instead of trying to talk to her he was really to challenge her to a duel. She just wanted to go home but she knew home was so far away. She missed her loving family, as odd as even she knew they were and the good times she had with the boy that right now looked like he wanted to hurt her and badly. As he approached her she saw a green light flash close back and she saw something that made her happy: a alien was coming to where she was. She always loved space ever since she heard the 'Presenter' as Gamou called the voice she heard in her childhood. and getting to see a alien was a dream come true. Yuki couldn't hold in her excitement anymore and although she was a monster now she still wanted to let Gen know how happy she was now.

"Gen-chan, look! A alien is here! A real life alien and he's standing right there! We always wanted to see one and he's not only here but he looks friendly just as we dreamed!" she cheerfully told Gen as she pointed toward where Ben as Diamondhead was standing just nearby. Both boys were stunned by what had just happened, Gen with the news that Yuki was a Horoscope and Ben with the fact she knew he was a alien on sight and didn't try to peg him as a monster as others have done so in the past. Right now the fact that he wasn't Chromastone like he wanted wasn't as pressing a issue as this.

"Friend of yours?" Ben asked Fourze. Fourze shot him a dirty glare as if Ben had always known. He knew she was his friend and he knew from the bottom of his heart that Yuki would never willingly join the Horoscopes. Holding her hands with a shocked look he was in total disbelief

"Yuki-chan, what did they do this you?" Fourze sadly asked the being now known as Gemini. Yuki wanted to answer her closest friend but the shame of what she was forced to do kept her silent. Then finally she answered him

"Gentaro, Gamou is the leader of the 12 Apostles. He was looking for the last members to jouney into space with when something calling himself Vilgax came and kidnapped me as well as my group and forcibly made us mutate into Zodiart commanders. You know I would never betray the Kamen Rider Club and you know I love my friends as much as you do Gen-" She was about to go on but Gentaro gave his friend a deep hug. Even if she was different in appearance she was still the Yuki he knew and loved, but he was too shy to admit it to her as well as himself. Diamondhead and Julie were touched by how much they truly cared for one another as JK gave a sad smile toward his freinds.

"If only we were that close" Ben and Julie admitted to themselves openly.

However Cancer was growing impatient with all of this. Knocking Fourze he grabbed the Gemini Zodiarts and held her tightly against himself, paying no mind that he was hurting her.

"It's such a shame for you, isn't it?" he told Fourze sarcastically. "You lost everything that mattered to you, your beliefs, your mission and your woman. While I've have gone from being with the stars to having gone to waist" as he wrapped his more human like arm around her waist. Yuki whimpered in fear as not only has he thrown away him human identify but he was hurting her with a hungry look in his eyes. Neither she nor Gen knew what to do but Ben knew what to do. Grabbing Natsuji's pincher claw he was about to give him a piece of his mind.

"Listen here buster, I may be one of the people you'd think would know how to treat a lady but you are no gentleman. Now let her go righ-" Diamondhead was cut off from the pain of Cancer crushing his hand as he laughed evilly at his misfortune. "Oh so that's how you wish to play huh? Well you should keep in mind I'm a old hand at this" Reforming his hand around the claw with his crystal powers he then crushed it without so much as a second thought. As Natsuji howled in pain Diamondhead told him that he warned him but the pain was blocking out the world around him.

The remaining two Horoscopes wasted no time in rushing to Cancer's defense. As Sarina tried to poison Ben but failing to do due to his crystal hide as Aries prepaired to sent Diamondhead to sleep. As Ben started to slow down due to the sands of Aries's staff he knew he had to act fast. Turning the dial to the one form he HOPED would be able to turn the tide he then pressed down on his symbol as the world grew darker and darker still...

"Hpmm. You should have known better than to challenge a god. To think that I had such hopes for you given how much we have heard of you and your-" Aries's ego trip was cut short by the roars of one of Ben's most uncontrollable aliens Rath. He was quite shocked that he was able to counteract his sleeping spell as not even Fourze was immune to it. Before he could recast it Rath grabbed onto his scepter and gave one of his famous speeches.

"LET ME TELL YA SOMETHING ARIES! RATH DOESN'T GO TO BED UNLESS HE WANTS TO! RATH EARNED HIS TEN O'CLOCK BEDTIME AND NO STUPID SHEEP MAN IS GONNA TELL RATH OTHERWISE! UNLESS YOU WANNA DEAL WITH RATH'S MOMMA, BIG MAN!" Aries angrily tried to shake Rath off but he was having no luck with that task. As that was going on Rath dialed up his mom Sandra during her lunch break. "Y'ello?"

Over at her jobsite Sandra was pleased to have Ben talk to her. No matter what form he was he always cared about his family. "What is it you want to talk about sweetie?"

"Some interdimensional sheep man is trying to make Rath go to bed even though Rath don't wanna. Can you tell him that I can wait until ten for my bedtime?"he asked in a softer tone of voice.

"Of course dear" she then waited until Rath gave the phone over to Aries. "Now listen and listen good. My son is a true hero and a loving child. He's earned the right to his bedtime mister and if you think you can take that away from him then you have to deal with me" she proclaimed to him with her angry mom tone. Even a Horoscope knows better than to argue with a angry mother so he meekly told her OK and gave the phone back to Rath.

"We good?" Rath asked the frightened monster. Aries nodded weakly in agreement. Happy that he was seeing things his way Rath crushed his scepter into Cosmic Energy dust. Backing away in fear Aries ran to where Scorpio and Cancer were. "LET ME TELL YA SOMETHIN ELSE ARIES! NEXT TIME YOU PULL SOMETHIN LIKE THAT I JUST USE MY SIRIUS BACKBREAKER! IT'S SIRIUS THE STAR NOT SERIOUS!"

By now knowing that they can't deal with Ben one on one all three charged at Ben with looks of malice on their faces. Turning back into Diamondhead Ben readied himself for their onslaught. As they were battling Gen and Yuki were unsure about something important.

"Gen do you remember the promise we made before you moved?" Yuki always remembered that day as she wanted him to go into space with her when they were grown up. But time had not been kind to that memory. He sadly shook his head and said" I wish I could recall what it was you said. But I can't think of what it was you wanted Yuki-chan"

That was the breaking point for the girl. It was her most treasured moment with him and she was livid that he forgot it like it was nothing at all. Fuming at the boy she knew as her friend she was about to burst with anger. "You don't remember that at all? I thought you were my friend! I thought that meant more to you than that!" she howled at the Rider. "I HATE YOU GENTARO! YOU ARE NOT THE MAN YOU SAY YOU ARE!" She then cupped her hands over her mouth, shocked that she said that and to her best friend too. Soon dark energy flared from under her and she felt something come out of her mind. Soon she was back to being human again and a cloud of Cosmic Energy was where she was standing moments before when it reformed into the Gemini form. "W-Wh-What's going on? How is this happening? Who are you?" she asked with fear in her voice.

The monster turned it hear over to where she was and answers "I am the darkness of your mind. You are the light that is the truth of what you are. The light of Gemini along with your rage gave me true form and freed you from you destined fate as a Horoscope. But soon your light shall fade and I will be the one to shine brightly in the sun with Gamou-sama" Reaching over to try and choke Yuki to death Gemini was blocked by a crystal wall brought up by Diamondhead, a look of worry awash on his face. Fighting off the three other monsters Ben ran to where the wall was with Fourze, JK and Yuki were behind. Glaring at the white spacesuited boy he was about to let him know just what he was thinking right now

"I thought I was the bad friend! I may do stupid things from time to time but I would never run off half cocked on some ego trip due to being upset with how someone was acting! I think you're the bad friend here buddy boy!" Fourze was shocked by Ben's words but he knew they rang as true as the mourning bells. Turning to where Yuki was he tried to apologize to her but she wanted nothing to do with him right now. Seeing that tears were in her eyes he tried to remember what it was that she treasured so deeply. Just then it came flooding back. The promise that he would go with her to space. He hoped that what he was about to say would be enough to make things right.

"Do you still have the ticket you made for me? Because I still want to go with you, no matter where you wish to head off to. Because you're my friend and I want to be a part of your life. I'm sorry that I wasn't there to save you and I know I can never be forgiven for that. But if you're willing to give me another chance then I promise I will try to make things right by you" His throat was dry and he was sweating up a storm in his Base States suit as he thought she would be mad at him forever. But to his surprise she gave him a hug and gave him a nod that told him she forgave him. Diamondhead, JK and Julie nodded their approval as well. With that cleared up he took out the Rocket Switch and pulled in Cosmic into the Circle slot. Turning it on all the other 40 Switched formed armor around him. Soon he was the electric blue Cosmic States. Aries was not happy to see the form that defeated him again. Panicking he mutated into his Supernova form and fired off balls of energy at him but Ben blocked them with Diamondhead's arms. Soon Gemini used her Supernova too and made a clone to fight against the group as the both of them ran towards them. Ben shot crystal shards at the three, destroying the Gemini clone and damaging the others, giving Fourze time to set up the Cosmic States Limit Break. A warp gate formed behind the two as Fourze rushed over with his hover pack, sending the two Horoscopes into space. As Aries and Gemini flailed about Gentaro unplugged and replugged the Cosmic Switch into the Barizun Sword and charged right at the two of them, the hits he landed ringing true. Soon both of them blew up, Gemini fading to dust and Aries back to being human again. Taking him back with him to Ben's Earh Gen powered down and walked over to where Yuki was. "We're still friends right?" ?He was still worried that she was mad at him about all of this.

"You'll always be my friend Gen-chan. But it's going to take some time to get over this." Yuki then gave a handshake to cement their deeper understanding of their faults." You really scared me back there, leaving us so suddenly and there not knowing about our promise. I know you treasure your friends but I wasn't sure you still treasured me" As she told him this she was crying, tears streaming down her face. Gen knew he had a lot to make up for, with Ben as well as JK and Yuki. Giving her a deep hug he began to cry too. Ben and Julie then saw themselves in the pair and they knew without saying anything to anyone that they had to make this right. They cannot let this friendship die like they did like theirs nearly did.

It was a long walk back for Sarina and Nasuji but they made it back to the old where house that the others were using as their base. They were thankfull that no one paid attention to them as they retreated but they weren't too pleased about what was going to happen. Vilgax wasn't going to happy about this setback but Gamou's rage was even more upsetting to face to them. Thankfully Gamou was understanding about their problems with Ben as well as Fourze. Giving them a stern but polite talking too they bowed their thanks and went over to where the others were. No, he would never be upset with his Horoscopes as they meant something to him...for now at least. No, his anger was directed at Vilgax and his shaky plan. He gave up seeing the Presenters for this, a childish plan of revenge? He would give him the benefit of the doubt for now but if things don't start shaping up soon then even the ruler of Vilgaxia would know the rage of Sagittarius. He would not let this fool deny him his dreams, even if he was the one to give him all 12 of his destined group. But he has lost the Gemini that was a part of Yuki for so long. He loved her like a daughter and wasn sad that she would not be able to go with him. Losing Aries to the 'Plumbers' was not as back a setback as he feared. Tatsumori has talent but he was sorely lacking in power. He can think about his weakness in the 'Null Void' forever. His patience for all of this was coming to an end. He loved that his students are expressing themselves and allowing him to gain the people he needed for what he wanted to do, but if they were unable to keep up with what he wanted them to do then they can die with the rest of them. In a corner Emoto looked on with a look of worry on his face. Just how far was Gamou willing to go with this madness?
