(an: y the hell is this part 1110 words long 🤮 for no reason)

"Hey! Are you alright?" Ayoko asked, holding the little one close.
Ayoko helped the boy lay down gently and checked his temperature with the back of her hand. He was burning up with fever.
"It's okay, just try to rest," she soothed, dampening a cloth and placing it on his forehead. His breathing was ragged and tears still leaked from his closed eyes.
Ayoko tended to him tirelessly, wiping his face and giving sips of water whenever he stirred. After what seemed like hours, his fever finally began to break. The boy blinked wearily up at her.
"Feeling any better?" Ayoko asked with a gentle smile. He nodded weakly. "Th-thank you..."
"You're welcome. Can you tell me more about what happened? What turned your father into a monster?" The boy took a shaky breath.
"It was scary...dad just fell over holding his head. Then his skin turned hard and spiky. Plants started growing all over him!" The boy broke down into fresh sobs.
Ayoko decided to use her Spider Phone for a rule reminder.
"'Final Tree', people turning into Jyamatos... just what the hell is going on?"
She opened up the text app.
Ayoko fumbled clumsily with the unfamiliar device, her fingers more used to grasping a sword handle than a screen. After several false starts, she managed to type out a crude message:
"Help. Boy says people turn Jyamatos. Come bunker."
She hit send with little hope of it going through in this strange future contraption. To her surprise, it buzzed moments later with a response.
"On our way. Meet at Tower. Barclx behind all this."
Ayoko frowned in confusion. Now she just had to get herself there safely.
"You need to be strong now, okay?" she said, helping the boy to his unsteady feet. He nodded bravely.
She rushed towards the tower, slowly meeting up with Keiwa and Ace.

As Keiwa, Ace and Ayoko approached the tower, they witnessed utter chaos unfolding before them.
The Jyamato forces had seemingly divided into two warring factions, facing off against each other in an immense battle. Tremendous explosions rang out as laser beams and energy projectiles ripped through the air. Jyamatos grappled with one another, shaking the ground with every impact of their clashes.
It was clear one side vastly outnumbered the other. But those few were fighting with unmatched ferocity, cutting through the larger army with ruthless efficiency. At the head of this smaller group was an all-too-familiar figure - Pollen. Her laser cannon spat death from a distance, tearing Jyamatos apart piece by piece.
"Hey, come out here you wannabe god!" Pollen yelled.
"You disgusting little worm!" Barclx stood ontop of the tower.
"Tch, if you won't get down then I'll just come up there and drag you out." Pollen said as she jumped and landed on a Jyamato's blade. It propelled her upwards.
Several laser bullets were shot towards Barclx's direction.
Pollen landed infront of Barclx as more and more Jyamato came.
"You think I can't crush you? Think again." Barclx summoned Jyamatos that were on his side.
"Sure you have the Jyamatos, but can you do this?" Barclx said.
Black hole appeared, Buckles came out. Blah blah.
"See if you can turn them into Kamen Riders!" Barclx said.
Barclx and Pollen glared daggers at each other from across the tower's summit. Their amassed armies waited with bated breath for the command to clash.
Barclx raised his hand, summoning the stolen driver buckles to orbit around him like planets. "Transform and crush that insect," he commanded coldly.
The buckles shot off in streaks of light, latching onto Jyamato bodies below. In unison they activated their new forms:
[Set!]
[Magnum!]
[Boost!]
[Beat!]
Massive armor encased the beasts, weapons materializing through unknown means. The Magnum Jyamato prepared its gun, Boost surrounded itself with flames. Beat's axe glowed with musical notes.
"Get them!" Barclx bellowed with murderous glee. But Pollen was ready, having equipped her forces similarly.
"Just what did you think I can't do?"
Her army activated in a swarming chorus:
[Monster!]
[Ninja!]
[Zombie!]
Battle was joined between the Rider armies. Ninja and Magnum dueled in rapid slashes and thundering blasts. Zombie grappled with Boost, matching brawn with brawn. Monster's huge fists pounded against Beat's axe.
The othet untransformed monsters also joined in, creating a chaotic fight. Spikes, fireballs, and claws flew through the sky. The fighting ground on but no victor emerged.
"Didn't want to do this, but I'll have to show you what I can do!" Barclx said.
"Henshin!"
[Set!] [Dragon!]
[Ready? Fight!]
With leaps, Barclx began tearing through Pollen's forces from above. Flames engulfed entire battalions within moments. Those too slow to flee were crushed under his fists and talons.
Pollen backed away cautiously, locking onto him with her laser. But Barclx vanished in a flurry of darkness, reappearing an instant later with claw raised. Their weapons collided with a shockwave that shattered nearby cover.
The tower shook from the force of their duel. Steel screeched as Barclx maneuvered Pollen towards the edge. With a bestial roar he slammed her back, the ensuing impact crumbling the parapet beneath her.
Pollen scrabbled for purchase even as the masonry crumbled, falling into open air.

The trio watching finally decided to make a move.
"Ace, I will propell you upwards!" Keiwa said.
"Do it! I'll defend us" Ayoko said as the monsters started getting close.
[Set!] [Set!]
[Dual On!]
"Henshin!"
[Ninja and Zombie!] [Fantasy!]
"Go!" Koatycoon summoned shurikens and Ace stood on them.
Tora-Go created a cyclone and Ayoko used it to propel Ace with enough force that he managed to get all the way to the top.
Barclx turned back.
"Of course the fox had to come." Barclx said.
Ace looked at the chest, "Well look at that, a chest."
Barlcx held up his Vision Driver, "If you come looking for this, then you're not having it. The chest? That won't be yours anytime soon."
"We'll see about that, Henshin!"
[Set!] [Set Up!]
He set both of the devices on the Desire Driver.
Five Boost logo appeared behind him as the standby music began. A big blue horographic circle connect the Logos.
He twisted the handle of the Boost Mk-II Raise Buckle, and pressed the Laser Raise Riser's trigger. The flames from the thrusters turned from chaotic red to steady jet blue.
The black undersuit materialized.
[Dual On!] [Hyperlink!]
Five robotic arms grabbed red armor pieces that the Boost logos turned into. A flying ufo appeared, flying around Geats briefly before folding itself into the white armor.
[LaserBoost]
[Ready?]

[Fight]

DA Rules: Only a set amount of monsters can be turned into humans again.
