The screen flickered with chaos.
Manjo was on the ground, his body trembling as sparks flew from his cracked armor. Utsumi's relentless assault had forced him out of his transformation. His Rider form shattered into fragments of light, leaving him vulnerable and exposed.
Utsumi sneered, his voice dripping with venom.
"You really don't know what's good for you, do you? What kind of hero are you supposed to be?" He raised his hand, charging another blast of energy.
"The Knight System is nothing more than a weapon—a tool for war! Do you honestly think it exists to protect people?!"
His laughter echoed.
"Look around you! Do you see anyone coming to save you?" His expression twisted into mockery.
"No one! No one will come! There are no heroes in this world!"

The Return of Battle Rabbit
At that very moment, deep within the haze of despair, memories stirred.
Katsuragi Takumi's mind pulsed with flashes of his past—memories that had been buried, suppressed, hidden away. In an instant, clarity struck. He clenched his fist tightly, determination igniting within him.
With a burst of energy, he transformed once more. The familiar red-and-blue armor of Battle Rabbit reappeared, radiating power.
Turning toward Manjo, he declared with a confident smile:
"How about it, Manjo? Saving the world… maybe it really is too heavy a burden for a supporting role!"
Manjo's eyes widened. He froze for a heartbeat, then whispered in disbelief:
"Battle Rabbit…?"
The crimson-and-blue warrior spread his arms, his presence commanding. "That's right! The arrogant, narcissistic hero of justice has returned! And this time… his memories are back!"
Gris, watching from the side, couldn't help but marvel. "His memories… they're restored! Battle Rabbit is whole again!"
Manjo covered his eyes with his arm. His lips curved into a trembling smile. He was overwhelmed with relief—so touched that tears threatened to spill.
"You're so slow, Rabbit," he muttered. But inside, his heart swelled with joy. The partner he thought he had lost was truly back.

The World Reacts
Across the extraordinary chat group, excitement erupted.
Funina: "Whoa! Katsuragi Takumi has finally regained his memories!"
Kiana: "Yes! This is amazing—it's like watching a legend unfold!"
Firefly: "I can't hold back my tears… it's too touching!"
March Seven: "The hero of justice has returned! Finally, the world has hope again!"
Audiences across the three realms roared in celebration.

The Genius Transformation
On the battlefield, Battle Rabbit stood tall. His eyes gleamed with renewed fire.
"Then… let's begin the experiment," he said calmly, his voice brimming with conviction. "A new experiment… for victory itself."
He raised the gleaming Energy Bottles high.
"All-round!"
"Outstanding!"
"Genius!"
The bottles spun around him, their colors shimmering like stars.
"EBEBEBEBEB! Are you ready?!"
"Transform!"
Light exploded, engulfing him in brilliance. When it faded, a new form stood before them.
The Creator Genius Form.
Dozens of Energy Bottles were embedded across his armor, each one pulsing with unique elemental power. His chestplate radiated dazzling streams of light, while energy surged with every movement.
The audience gasped.
"Awesome! Super awesome!"
"This form… it's completely different!"
"His power has skyrocketed—it's unbelievable!"
Battle Rabbit looked down at his new form and chuckled softly.
"The rules of victory have already been decided."

Overwhelming Utsumi
Utsumi, however, only laughed.
"Do you think that flashy armor makes you strong?!"
He unleashed a storm of energy blasts. But every bullet, every beam, was casually deflected by the glowing barrier that surrounded Battle Rabbit.
Then, with a single punch, Battle Rabbit sent Utsumi flying several meters back. The impact shook the ground, leaving Utsumi staggering.
"What… what is this speed?!" Utsumi gasped, panic rising in his voice.
In the blink of an eye, Battle Rabbit vanished. Then, suddenly—
Boom!
He reappeared behind Utsumi, slamming him into the ground with brutal precision.
Utsumi's body convulsed as he struggled to rise. The audience was on the edge of their seats, cheering wildly.
"Battle Rabbit's genius form is too strong!"
"Yes! His power has multiplied—it's insane!"
"He's finally turning the tables!"
---
The Genius Strikes
Battle Rabbit extended his arm, voice steady.
"One side! Ready… go! Genius Attack!"
His punch connected like a meteor, forcing Utsumi to his knees.
"Other side! Ready… go! Genius Crush!"
A devastating kick sent Utsumi crashing against the wall. Dust and debris rained down as his body collapsed like a broken doll.
"Bang!" The echo of his defeat filled the chamber.
Watching from nearby, Wan Zhang's face shifted. His eyes widened in shock.
"Too strong… this is way too strong!"

Ebert Appears
Suddenly, a chilling voice rang out.
"I didn't expect you to have such a hidden weapon."
Battle Rabbit narrowed his eyes. "Ebert!"
The cunning enemy appeared from the shadows, his presence radiating menace.
"I'll deal with you next time," Ebert said with a smirk. In one swift motion, he lunged toward Gris, snatching the Lost Energy Bottle from his hands.
Gris roared in fury. "What are you doing, you bastard?!"
Ebert's expression remained calm, almost amused.
"I came only for this. With these Energy Bottles, I can bend humans to my will. I will dominate the future… and control everything!"
Battle Rabbit charged forward. "Don't even think of escaping!"
But before he could strike, a swirling space vortex appeared behind Ebert. In an instant, both Ebert and Utsumi were swallowed by the void and vanished without a trace.
---
The Mystery of the Bottles
Left behind, Battle Rabbit stood in silence, confusion clouding his thoughts.
"Why… why is Ebert collecting the Lost Energy Bottles? He already has a complete form…"
The thought lingered heavily in his mind. There was only one answer—to find the truth, he would have to investigate.
His gaze hardened. "The Lost Bottles were created in Beidu by Faust… Then Beidu is where I'll find answers."
---
Faust's Dark Experiments
Meanwhile, deep inside the Faust Base of Beidu, a chilling scene unfolded.
"Ahhh!" The desperate cry of a woman echoed through the sterile corridors. On cold metal tables, human experiments were being conducted mercilessly.
Utsumi, watching, frowned slightly. "What are you doing?"
Ebert stood beside the machines, his tone casual.
"Developing the Lost Smashers. This will be the final evolution of the Smashers. By fusing humans with cloned Smashers through the Lost Energy Bottles, we will create the strongest slaves."
Utsumi's brows furrowed. "Even now, you're still doing this? Why?"
Ebert's smile was twisted. "Why? Because it's fascinating. Humans consumed by their own desires… forcing others into the abyss of fear… devouring each other until nothing remains. That chaos is beauty."
The audiences of the three realms erupted with anger.
"This man is pure evil!"
"He actually wants humans to destroy each other?!"
"He's more terrifying than any monster!"
Ebert's voice dripped with contempt.
"Kamen Riders? They're nothing but test subjects. Let's see if they can become the strongest Lost Smashers."
He gestured toward a new creation. "But before that… we'll perfect Lost Smasher No. 1."
---
Gris Captured
Not long after, Battle Rabbit and Gris reached Beidu. But Gris, venturing ahead alone, was ambushed. The Faust scientists captured him and dragged him into the laboratory.
Injecting him with high concentrations of Nebula Gas, Utsumi sneered.
"In this way, you too are just a slave now. Convenient, isn't it? Your danger level has skyrocketed—but if you're defeated, your body will disintegrate entirely. Hahaha!"
With a single blow, Gris was knocked to the ground. Utsumi left him to suffer as the experiments continued.
---
Battle Rabbit's Counterattack
Soon after, Battle Rabbit stormed into the base. His eyes locked onto Prime Minister Tajimi, who had been transformed into a monstrous Lost Slammer.
The fight was brutal, but Battle Rabbit's new Genius Energy Bottle glowed with unparalleled power. With its ability, he purified Tajimi instead of killing him. The prime minister collapsed, his monstrous form fading, restored to his human self.
Ebert appeared once again, his gaze sharp.
"I didn't expect you could reverse the effects of the Lost Energy Bottle and restore an experimental subject to normal. This is… intriguing."
He stepped forward, extending his hand.
"Return the Genius Energy Bottle to me."
Battle Rabbit's eyes narrowed. "What are you planning to do with it?"
Ebert's calm face hardened into resolve.
"With it, I will create a new world."
The screen faded, leaving the three realms in silence.
