Kamen Rider Geats: Back in Time

Crisis VIII: War between Enemies (P1)

“So? What do you say-”
“I REFUSE!” Keiwa yelled, shaking with anger.
“Huh?” Barclx said.
“Ayoko- she sacrificed herself, she let herself get hit, she did everything! Everything for peace! I’m not going destroy what she sacrificed herself for!” Keiwa said with absolute conviction in his voice.
“Are you absolutely sure? I can torture her, put her in absolute hell if I want to.” Barclx said as he stared into Keiwa’s eyes.
Keiwa recalled Jin, the one who had brought devastation and ruin. He remembered everything - the crackling of the flames, the heat that split through the air - it all came back to him like a wave crashing over him.
One thing he can say for sure:
“I’m not going to deal with the devil” He declared. His eyes were full of determination.
He yelled as he ran past Barclx.
“You still sure?” The Remote Control Rider put the claw closer to Ayoko’s neck.
Keiwa closed his eyes, he knew she wouldn’t want to be alive if it costs the world its peace.
“I won’t turn back!” He shouted.
“Then kill her!” Barclx commaned the Remote Control Rider.
It raised its claw.
[Defense Active.]
The Fantasy Buckle which was attached to a contraption shone. A magic circle appeared trapped the Remote Control Rider.
Ace looked at the bunker’s comms screen.
He smiled, “You did the right choice, Koatycoon, I’ll handle the rest”.
He pressed a button, the Remote Control Rider was burned immediately.
“Geats! Did he predict this?!” Barclx said.
A notification appeared infront of his face.
“What?!”

“Thank- thank you Ace… I really thought Ayoko would die there…” Keiwa said upon meeting Ace.
They were standing infront of the Final Tree. It has a huge hologram display with the word, “FIGHT!!”
“Save the emotions for later, look at this” Ace touched an invisible barrier around the tree.
“Ehh?” Keiwa questioned what he was seeing.
“No Kamen Riders can get through this barrier.” Ace said.
“Then what do we do?” Keiwa said.
“We stop the game. And we have to do it quick.” Ace said, “when I get there, launch me up to the top, Koatycoon.”
“Umm.”

Ayoko slowly opened her eyes, feeling disoriented. The last thing she remembered was shielding Keiwa from Jin's attack. As her vision came into focus, she realized she was alone in the bunker's medical area.
"Keiwa? Ace?" she called out weakly, but received no response. Pushing herself up with a groan, she realized the bunker was eerily quiet.
That's when she heard it - the soft cries of a child coming from deeper within. Gathering what little strength she had, Ayoko followed the sound and found a young boy huddled in the corner.
"What's wrong?" she asked gently. The boy looked up with tear-filled eyes. "M-my daddy, he turned into a monster!"
Ayoko frowned in confusion. "Turned into a monster? What do you mean?" The boy sniffled. "We were playing and then daddy grabbed his stomach and fell over. When he got back up, he was a big cactus thing!"
A sinking feeling came over Ayoko as she pieced it together. Something horrible must be happening outside, and the others had rushed off to deal with it, leaving her unconscious.
Suddenly, the child collapsed into her arms.
