The Guardian (Kamen Rider Ex-Aid Crossover)

Chapter 44 Endless Game

Ophelia and the others knew they couldn't use the Hyper Muteki Gashat without Parado. "Being illegitimate players of this game, your clears are all null and void." Masamune continued to speak. "You rare characters are bugs that make the game glitch. And bugs... must be erased." He activated his Gashat.

"Kamen Rider Chronicle!"

"Henshin!"

"Gashatto! Buggle up! Take hold of the sky, Rider! Forward through time, Chronicle. The end of time is here." He chuckled darkly.

Kanade placed Emu behind him while narrowing her gaze at Masamune darkly. "Chronos... we'll end you whatever it takes!" The red-haired woman declared while Kiriya, Hiiro, Taiga and Kuroto activated their Gashat.

"Henshin!"

They all marched toward Masamune except Emu watching their fight. Masamune dodges their attack before throwing his weapon away. "As long as I am here, this game will live on." He activated the Pause ability.

"Pause!"

"Not on our watch!" Ophelia and Zilar are immune as they transform into Rebirth Knight and Gold Knight. The Pause ability is nullified on them as they swing their sword at him.

Masamune cried out in pain as they managed to deactivate his Pause ability. "Restart!"

"There's always an ending." Ophelia grunted while holding back the pain. "An ending to destroy Kamen Rider Chronicle and your madness." She declared.

"Alita is no longer here to help you and you'll never become the Moon Knight like your predecessors!" The founder of GENM snapped at her. "To think I was reborn and happened to be your father... I'll enjoy destroying your existence, Ophelia." Ophelia couldn't help but shiver in fear but refused to show a sign of weakness.

Kuroto grunted. "Games are everything to me!" He exclaimed and glanced at Ophelia. "Including my younger sister, Ophelia." The former goddess stared at him in shock. "I won't be used by trash like you anymore and badmouthing her."

Kanade blinked in surprise at his words. "Am I hearing things or did Kuroto finally acknowledge her as his sister?" She asked Kiriya curiously.

"I heard it loud and clear Red." Kiriya assured the red-haired woman. It's a surprise for everyone for Kuroto to accept Ophelia as part of his life considering he nearly killed her before. "I can't stop until we've settled the score for all those who have passed!"

"Surrender or forfeiting isn't part of my dictionary... I refuse to lose someone I care to sit by and do nothing." She throws her Armed Gear in Masamune's direction.

They all rushed forward to fight against Masamune. Despite the injuries they receive from their battle, no one is giving up as they push their limits to defeat him. The founder of GENM twirls around and hits as they push back.

Taiga pushes himself up. "I won't lose anything anymore." He readied his guns. "And so I will crush you!"

Zilar readied his arrow and bow. "Earth is my second home and didn't matter which dimension I'm from but I'll put my life on the line to save them!" He released the string and hit Masamune.

"I will continue to fight as long as there are lives to save!" Hiiro vowed. "That's what it means to be a doctor!"

Ophelia's sword glowed. "We're their protectors to protect them from harm and I refuse to let you take over the world!" She spins her sword before thrusting it forward.

Masamune switches his blade to a whip to cancel Ophelia, Kanade and Zilar's attack. He spins it around and slashes everyone. Kiriya, Kuroto, Hiiro and Taiga revert themselves while a cable is capturing Zilar, Kanade and Ophelia.
