Kamen Rider Geats: Back in Time

Design VII: Timeout Game (P1)

[Ready? Fight!]

Buffa and Koatycoon rushed Glare2 from both sides. He responded by summoning a Hypnoray shield to block their opening blows.
"Gonna have to do better than that!" Glare2 taunted. He wiggled his hips wildly, somehow dodging their follow up strikes by doing the worm across the ground.
Rising back up, Glare2 sent the Hypnorays swarming towards the riders. Buffa bashed through several with his chainsaw but they just kept coming. One zapped him from behind with a laser.
"Agh! These things are so annoying!"He said.

Koatycoon countered the drones with spinning shuriken, clearing a path. "Now!" he signaled Buffa, who charged with claws extended.
Glare2 backflipped out of reach, "You'll have to catch me first!"
Koatycoon jumped infront of Glare2, delivering a powerful slash, to which Glare2 blocked with a shield that a Hypnoray made.
Slap. Glare2 slapped Koatycoon, "Not cool!" he kicked him away.

Meanwhile...
Frog sound effect.
Kekera was browsing through images of Sakurai Sara, Sakurai Keiwa's sister.
"You break them and they become stronger. But I have more in store for her"
Kekera remembered these words.
"It may be exactly what I need..." Kekera murmured to himself.
Just then, Beroba entered the place, "Kekera? What you doing here?"
"Stuff. I need to do something about Keiwa now, the one I back" Kekera said referring to Sakurai

(an: I want to choke myself to death why did I name him this way????)

"What a coincidence, I was also making a plan for Michi~ as well" Beroba replied nonchalantly.
"Well... We do have similar goals, wanna team up? You'll get your misery and whatever, I will get the true Kamen Rider I want." Kekera said.
Beroba laughed slightly, "Fine by me~"

Meanwhile...
Ayoko was sitting with her family enjoying another blissful morning together. As she sipped her miso soup, a strange hologram window suddenly materialized before her.
[TIMEOUT GAME]
"Timeout Game?" she read aloud, curious. Her parents didn't seem to notice the anomaly. Ayoko began reading the rules and countdown timer.
[Defeat other Kamen Riders, time rewarded per successful damage. Running out of time means end of fantasy.]
Defeat other riders within the time limit to earn extensions. Failure means...end of fantasy? Ayoko shuddered to think what that could mean.
But she was at peace here. Why disrupt it? The timer ticked steadily down from 30 minutes as Ayoko watched, transfixed. She began noticing subtle imperfections too - a crack in the wall, soup that tasted slightly off.
Her mother smiled, but it didn't reach her eyes now. Outside, the hills briefly took on a discolored hue. Ayoko began to panic. This place, this promised eternity of joy, it was just another elaborate trap.

Neon and Sakurai walked through the park in silence. Neon had a distant look in her eyes.

"Grandma...she's suffering so much. Just like me," Neon said quietly.
Sakurai nodded. "What Beroba did to you both was unforgivable. Revealing the truth of your origins in such a cruel way..."
Neon clasped her own hands tightly. "She knew revealing I was just a copy of Akari would break me. Now Pollen is doing the same to Grandma."
