Kamen Rider Geats: Back in Time

Shadow I: Remains of the DGP (P1)

(an: bleh arc very samey)

Within the vast reaches of the Metaverse, an enigmatic figure gazed into swirling voids of distorted time and space. Turquoise tresses fell around her fair yet stern-eyed face as delicate fingers danced on her tablet screen.

With muttered words in an ancient tongue, she began to weave a rent between eras. Colors unspooled and realities merged as time's fabric stretched and tore. In a flash, a glimmering portal stood complete before her.

Clad in a white mini dress shirt and black skirt, the woman gathered her mystical belongings. Her intent, for now, remained veiled behind an enigmatic smile.

She took one last look at her tablet, filled with infomation about the era, the DGP.

"This sure does make my job easier..."

After saying those words, the tablet was tosses away, as a beep sounded. At that moment, the device slowly vanished, as if eaten by the space around her and turned into data.

Stepping gracefully through the rift, she emerged into the bustling streets of modern-day Tokyo. Tall spires stretched towards the clouds as crowds hurried every which way. But her steel gaze sought remnants of a fallen war just ending in another age.

In a part of the city...

Ace had called Kurama Ayoko and Sasaki Keiwa over for a talk not far away from an apartment complex.

"So I think it's about time we seperate, you guys must've missed your era" Ace started the conversation, "I can bring you and settle you back at your era"

Ayoko and Keiwa exchanged a look, having discussed the scenario. Ayoko replied, "Well, about that, I don't think we are done here,"

Keiwa continued, "You know, that weird Jyamato Garden man is still here, we haven't defeated him yet."

Ace thought about it over, "You know what, fair point. Then, I ask for your help to deal with Archimedel and I will settle you back then."

Keiwa smiled and nodded, "Of course! I have to protect the modern soba!!!", he exclaimed excited.

Ace also gave a smile before walking away, "I'll see you later then."

As Ukiyo Ace walked away, the two watched him with pensive expressions. Parting will hurt.

Ayoko turned to Keiwa, "... It hurts. I'm gonna miss Neon so much. I will give her a tight hug before I'm going, for sure. Oh yeah, my 'family' too!"

Saying that hurts herself a little bit. Family is a rather sensitive term for her.

Keiwa nodded, "Our bloodline children are awesome, aren't they? I'm gonna savior every last moment here, that's for sure."

Literally, the moment Ace steps far enough, the apartment complex begins exploding as horde of people rushed out of the buildings for their own lives. Black flames intertwined with normal ones as vines quickly grow and seize control of the place. Jyamatos rushed outwards, attacking anyone in their sight.

Ayoko and Keiwa rushed to the scene, hands equipping the driver, "Talk about a horrible coincidence!", Ayoko said.

"Ahh, environmentalist gone wild! After Ace left too!" Keiwa added.

[Set!] [Set!]

Ayoko pushed an incoming Jyamato, while Keiwa drop-kicked the plant creature away.

"Henshin!" They shouted in u nison!

[Ninja!] [Fantasy!]

Tora-Go and Koatycoon leapt into action, fending off attacks while ushering civilians to safety. Jyamatos of all types swarmed from the wrecked complex, wreaking havoc on the surrounding area.

Archimedel observed nearby in human form, muttering taunts as a black mist began spreading in a widening ring. "You think you kamen riders can fight my children? Think again!"

"Children? Creepy!" Koatycoon slashed one of the incoming Jyamatos, then pulled his Ninja Dualer out, letting Tora-Go bounce off it, and slash a big horde with her sword-claws.

But as they close it, the mist delivered a painful shock whenever the riders dared approach. They battled on two fronts at once, skillfully parrying attacks with dual blades and sword-claws even as the gas bit at their armor.

"We have to take out the source!" shouted Koatycoon over the din, signaling an incoming Rook. Tora-Go replied by hurling a Bishop into its path, buying them time.

With a wordless cry, the gold rider boosted herself headlong into the mist, enduring its bite to land a blow upon Archimedel.

But, a figure flew out like a flash, kicking her away. It's a Jyamato Rider, with the Dragon Armor.

[Dragon!]

"Been a hot minute since we last saw that!" Koatycoon panicked.

"PTSD... or how they call this." Tora-Go remembered her less than great memories.

[Revolve On!]

The Dragon top armor detached from the evol Jyamato Rider, folding into a true flame dragon to fly around and harass the duo.

"This is annoying!" Tora-Go groaned.

"No, this is BAD-"

The dragon smashed into and carried them up, slamming down at maximum velocity, causing a big explosion.

Amongst the chaos, Koatycoon spotted the Pawn Jyamato menacing a frightened citizen. It brandished its weapon, upon which a small flower was barely visible.

"Ey!"
Koatycoon whipped a shuriken its way. The Pawn swiftly ducked and rolled, avoiding the projectile. In the moment of reprieve, the citizen took the opportunity to flee to safety.

"Nice spot, but we've got bigger fish now!" called Tora-Go. The Dragon Rider's armor continued raining blows upon them relentlessly.

With the area now cleared of civilians, Koatycoon saw their chance. "Time to bug out, this one's too much! One, tactical retreat!"

[Tactical Slash!]

He swung the blades; creating a wide green slash at the Dragon Rider to buy an opening. The explosive projectiles caught its armor off guard in a burst of sparks and smoke.

"No!" Archimedel yelled and rushed out, too late, both of them were gone.
