GASP!
That was the first thing Benjamin or rather "S" did as he then sat up breathing heavily and for the first time in a long time he felt free.
S looked around his vision no longer tinted purple, his thoughts not a chaotic mess which he had to fight desperately just to keep himself sane.
"I'm…..free?" S questioned quietly to no one but the surrounding air as he then looked down at his Ultimatrix...it wasn't purple….it was green.
His face didn't change….until it did.
A smile slowly appeared on his face before then began to cry, tears streaming down his face as he realized two things.
"The cat….Luna was right" He said quietly as he then slowly brought up his ultimatrix and then slowly pressed the side of the dial making the core pop up as it then displayed a green hologram and that hologram was Alien X's.
The second thing S realized was that he could do the one thing he had been dreaming about for months.
"Don't worry girls…..daddy's coming home" S whispered before he then without wasting another second, he slammed on the dial making the surrounding area be filled by that familiar green light.
S took a couple of moments to slowly open and close his fists, his body was like looking into the night's sky when out in the countryside.
And everything was perfect.
But then suddenly.
A device suddenly latched onto the omnitrix symbol in his chest his eyes could barely widen as the device then forced a de-transformation which filled the area with green light.
The de- transformation made S stumble forward as he took a gasp for air, He then looked around as his eyes moved frantically to try and see who shot the device only for a small dart to suddenly then hit him in the neck. The needle went into his carotid artery which was on the right side of the neck, the dart injected some kind of anesthetic as he fell forward onto his knees before succumbing to the anesthetic.
And that's where he remained for a couple of seconds as then this older man with an eye patch came out out from behind a tree, as he walked closer he opened his jacket and pulled out some type of gun which he then pointed at the back of S's head before he then coldly said "Let's save everyone the grief, don't you think so too? Ben." And then he began to squeeze.
CLICK!
'What?' The man thought as a sound suddenly came from nearby which sounded like a….camera shutter?
BLAM!
Though that thought was interrupted by the sound of a gun firing and as the gun that the man once had was shot out of his hand as the man turned to look to see a figure making his eyes widen, a man was standing in the distance one hand one a gun and the other on a weird looking magenta colored twin-lens reflex camera.
"Tsukasa Kadoya" The first man then said through gritted teeth as he seemed to almost have to force the name to come out of his mouth.
Tsukasa on the other hand just holstered his gun and whilst waving a photo in his left hand, one that seemed to have come out of the camera that is around his neck "Marvelous….what would Ahim say to this?" Tsukasa said calmly as he flipped the photo he was holding which showed Marvelous pointing the gun.
"What are you doing here, Tsukasa?" Marvelous asks as he scowls at him while Tsukasa just smirks as he folds the photo and puts it in his jacket pocket.
"What? Nearly twenty years and this is how you receive me" Tsukasa asks a smirk in his mouth but Marvelous just keeps the same scowl on his face before responding
"You know why" Marvelous says before making Tsukasa sigh before he then gains a serious expression on his face.
"Yeah it's nearly the twenty year anniversary since he and Minako died…..and since the 4 factions have all kept to themselves while playing the blaming game, and that's not counting the Senshi and his counterpart." Tsukasa said before closing his eyes and continuing "I can't believe you all just decided to keep blaming each other, I'd honestly expect more from people who are supposed to fight for peace, love, and justice" Tsukasa says opening his eyes.
"Honestly you've all been blaming each other for 2 whole decades when will you all realize that you're all blaming each other for something that no one was at fault" Tsukasa continued saying a sigh exiting his lips, as he was tired of everything.
Marvelous just continued to stare at him before reaching into his jacket and pulling out his gokai mobilate which caused Tsukasa to do the same except with his decadriver but he holds it more limply.
"You're just here because your little princess went back in time without your permission and found Ben….and she fell in love didn't she?" Tsukasa suddenly said which caused Marvelous to look enraged as he quickly got out his ranger key
"Gokai Change!" Marvelous said as he began to rush towards Tsukasa who just sighed as he didn't even make an attempt to transform as he looked straight at Marvelous as he transformed into his Gokai Red suit.
"Marvelous you can't change the past just because you want to protect your little girl" Tsukasa said as Marvelous swung his saber at Tsukasa who just dodged to the side before delivering a kick to Marvelous side before strapping the decadriver to his own waist.
"And what are you going to do about it?!" Marvelous said, genuinely sounding pissed off as he pulls out his gokai gun and fires repeatedly at Tsukasa who rolls to the side before pulling out a card seemingly out of nowhere.
"Then I'll have to beat some sense into you" Tsukasa then said, his voice colder than ice on the surface of the necrofriggian homeplanet as he pulled the sides of the decadriver to the side before slamming the card in and slamming the two sides back in.
"KAMENRIDE: DECADE!"
Immediately after a huge explosion of magenta colored light appeared from Tsukasa's direction, but that didn't stop Marvelous from repeatedly firing in Tsukasa's direction all of which got deflected by a newly transformed Kamen Rider Decade.
The two stared off for a while before Tsukasa brought out a new card causing Marvelous's eyes to widen before he scowled "You wouldn't" Marvelous said and Tsukasa, he didn't respond as he inserted the card into the decadriver before pushing in both sides.
"KAMENRIDE: OMNI!"
"SUCCESSOR OF ICHIGO!" "KAMEN RIDER OMNI!"
Marvelous just stared wide-eyed before he quietly said "The audacity to use his suit" Each word came out like the most vile venom ever seen to mankind.
Tsukasa's new suit was similar to kamen rider Ichigo's only it was a dark green, the original black part was a darker green than the abs, chest, and helmet but the white lines stayed. His eyes were white with green light shining within.
"I can twist the knife in deeper, Marvelous" Tsukasa said, pulling out a card which almost immediately gets shot by Marvelous who is shaking with barely controlled rage.
Tsukasa just looks down at the card which was mostly destroyed but near the bottom there were still legible words which read 'FORMRIDE: OMNI (DARK FORM)'
Tsukasa says nothing as he picks up the destroyed card before saying "He was like a little brother to me too, Marvelous" Tsukasa says quietly before standing up to look at Marvelous the card smoking slightly after being shot.
"But like I said, you cannot save both yourself and your little girl from the heartbreak by killing him early, that's not how timelines work" Tsukasa says, only to get shot in the shoulder by Marvelous causing sparks to come out of his shoulder as Tsukasa grits his teeth through the pain before continuing.
"Ask someone like Woz, and he'll tell you clearly, changing one timeline won't alter yours, you stupid bastard" Tsukasa says as he then threw the broken card away before pulling out another as he then ran forward towards Marvelous whilst pulling the sides on the decadriver before slamming the card in and pushing in on the sides.
"FORMRIDE: FAIZ (AXEL)!"
Meanwhile Marvelous pulled out a ranger key and slammed it into his mobilate before twisting it to start the transformation as he also charged towards Tsukasa
"GO-BUSTERS!"
The two charged at each other as then Tsukasa reached for something left wrist and clicked the little device attached to himself causing it to say "Start Up!"
Everything after that was a blur as both used their massively enhanced speed to clash repeatedly both of their speeds surpassing mach 3 and only getting faster, if they both continued fighting then they'd easily reach the speed of light.
It was a shower of constant sparks around the unconscious S, every punch and every kick that landed caused sparks to come out of the recipient and it continued for a long while after neither wanting to give up.
After a while Tsukasa was able to get the upper hand as he kneed Marvelous forcing him to keel over along with returning him to base as Tsukasa took out a card as he then looked down at the knocked down Marvelous.
"Lets end this now, Marvelous" Tsukasa said as he walked a few steps back as he pulled on the sides of his decadriver and inserted the card.
"FINAL ATTACK RIDE!"
Seeing this Marvelous struggled to his feet as he took out his ranger key and slammed it into the slot in his saber before twisting the key and slamming the slot down
"FINAL WAVEEEE!"
Just as the two were about to unleash their final attacks a sudden voice came from nearby causing the two to pause their battle.
"FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-DIEND!"
"HUH?!" Was the only word Marvelous was able to say as he turned and looked up only to see a figure in black and blue pointing a type of gun at him with what appeared to be several rings of cards in front of the barrel.
The figure said nothing as he pulled the trigger as a sudden blue beam was shot out, Marvelous didn't have time to even react as the beam reached him and took him right out which was quickly followed by a massive explosion.
Soon after the attack ended, Marvelous could be seen bleeding and unconscious in the middle of a clearing made by the attack as all surrounding trees had been vaporized.
"Kaito?!" Tsukasa said surprised as he turned to look at the figure standing on the hill who just began to walk down it with a certain swagger in his steps.
"Hey Tsukasa, long time no see" The newly named Kaito said as he raised the gun and reached to its side as he then pulled out a card from the gun as his suit crumbled off his body.
As Kaito walked he suddenly stopped as he heard a crunch beneath his feet and as he looked down he saw the card that Marvelous had shot earlier.
"You kept his ride card?" Kaito suddenly questioned as he kneeled down picking up the card before looking through the hole which coincidentally showed where Marvelous was only for the card to be snatched away from his hand.
"Nevermind that, how did you find me?" Tsukasa says as he stuffs the card into his jacket pocket next to the photo he took earlier.
Meanwhile Kaito just rolls his eyes as his spins his diendriver in his hand lazily "Oh nothing I was just having a nice conversation with Sougo as to why I shouldn't be punished for trying to steal my own ridewatch after everyone agreed to give up part of our powers for….whatever it was something about no infighting within the factions after we all decided to blame each other" Kaito explained as he casually pulled out two little objects one with his suit's face and other with Tsukasa's decade face only it seemed longer than Kaito's with a slot to its side where another ridewatch could be inserted.
"That still doesn't explain anything" Tsukasa said, sounding particularly upset, unable to keep his calm and cool demeanor anymore….not like he had kept it for his fight against Marvelous.
"Oh right, you and Marvelous being here caused a time ripple and when I offered to go check" He stopped as he smirked cheekily before throwing Tsukasa his ridewatch.
Tsukasa didn't even look at Kaito as he raised his hand and caught it without looking as he then tapped the button on the top of the ridewatch which made a digital beeping sound before saying.
"D-D-D-DECADE!"
After that, Tsukasa's decadriver which originally had a magenta coloration suddenly became a darker magenta than it originally was, and the ridewatch seemed to banish from existence.
"So" Kaito said suddenly as he wandered past Tsukasa and kneeled down beside Marvelous "why were you two fighting?" Kaito asked only for Tsukasa to pull out the gun from earlier and just make a head motion towards S's unconscious body before putting the gun to Marvelous's head
"He tried to come back in time to kill Ben….and honestly I have half the mind to put a bullet through his head" Tsukasa said as his finger went to the trigger and began to apply pressure.
*BANG*

GASP!
That was the first thing Benjamin or rather "S" did as he then sat up breathing heavily and for the first time in a long time he felt free.
S looked around his vision no longer tinted purple, his thoughts not a chaotic mess which he had to fight desperately just to keep himself sane.
"I'm…..free?" S questioned quietly to no one but the surrounding air as he then looked down at his Ultimatrix...it wasn't purple….it was green.

S took a couple of moments to slowly open and close his fists, his body was like looking into the night's sky when out in the countryside.
And everything was perfect.
But then suddenly.
"This feels...weird, why am I getting a sense of deja vu?" S asked aloud as he looked around, everything appeared normal.
And that's when he noticed a spot with dry blood nearby.
He approached and knelt down, his eyes locked onto the blood before shaking his head "Must've been some type of animal hunting" S said before standing up, as the blood didn't seem human, so it meant there was nothing for him to worry about.
Once he had calmed down a bit more he took a deep breath before outstretching his left hand forward as a portal opened up and he walked through, not noticing two figures nearby.
—-----------
"Finally some excitement!" Kaito could suddenly be heard before he could then be seen together as Tsukasa just sighed, putting one hand to his face.
"You are an over 40 year old man and you're acting like this?" Tsukasa asked, looking over at Kaito who just rolled his eyes.
"Oh c'mon it's been quiet for the past two decades, you need some more excitement in your life or you'll get rusty" Kaito said before suddenly reaching down and pulling up something or rather someone by the back of their outfit.
"So what are we going to do about the body?" Kaito asked as Marvelous turned his head slightly to the side to see Kaito holding what looked to be a vaguely humanoid alien with the De Famille Royal Family crest on their armor, with Marvelous being nearby still unconscious.
"Throw it somewhere, just make sure it's not visible" Tsukasa said as Kaito just tossed the body off the cliff they were standing on as it landed in a nearby stream with a large splash.
Tsukasa blinked before saying "I said not visible half his body is sticking out" Tsukasa said in a voice turning somewhat angry as Kaito didn't really seem to care as he just shrugged.
"I think we have some more pressing issues then someone discovering a body" Kaito suddenly said voice turning serious which was enough to make Tsukasa pay more attention as Kaito pulled out a bodycam which he had ripped from the supposed bodyguard's armor.
"Crap..." Tsukasa said quietly as Kaito ripped the body cam in two before revealing a small chip that said int-di transmitter.
"That's putting it lightly, the rest of the gokaiger's probably know what happened…..well what they saw which is gonna be you pointing a pistol at Marvelous before I killed the poor bastard" Kaito said making a head motion towards the bodyguard's body which was now being actively eaten by some type of coyote-like animal.
"So...what's the plan?" Kaito said voice was completely serious as he held his diendriver in his previously free hand.
"We toss Marvelous back to his universe and then…..we come back and warn the girls" Tsukasa said which left Kaito confused before he realized who he was talking about as Tsukasa grabbed Marvelous by his jacket.
"You mean the fairies?" Kaito asked as he turned to follow Tsukasa as the two began walking to an aurora curtain.
"Obviously…..remember what happened when Ben's counterpart got his hands on Zeronos's belt?" Tsukasa asked, which actually made Kaito stop walking to think for a bit.
"Oh yeah…..say didn't he go missing around the same time Ben died?" Kaito asked as he continued walking after Tsukasa.
"Yeah….those girls lost all their memories after he used one of the cards and he just left, I've been trying to find him for the past 20 years but I lost his trail shortly after he went missing"
"Damn...talk about people called Benjamin having bad luck huh?" Kaito asked as he was the first to walk through the aurora curtain and that made Tsukasa pause and turn back to see Alfea in the distance, it was hard to make out but it was there.
"After what is going to happen tomorrow...That they do" He said before passing through the aurora curtain before repeating in a somber voice.
"That they do"
