"Evolt Black Hole!"

"Cross Magma!"

Genus and Ryou exchanged blow after blow, landing every hit they could with the power they had.  It wasn't like before, where they fought to get away, or fight to protect something, or to stall.  It was a fight until one dropped.

Ryou was knocked back, his Cross-Z Magma Ridewatch getting knocked away from him, and took out his Zi-O II Ridewatch, transformed, and landed two powerful hits against Genus.

Genus fell on the ground, his Evolt Black Hole Ridewatch flung across the battlefield, but he simply got up, and used his Gain Blood Orange Arms Ridewatch to transform.

Both clashed swords again, grunting.

"You can't win this!!" Genus screamed.

"I beg to differ!" Ryou shoved him off, and sliced Genus through the chest, cancelling his Blood Orange Arms transformation.

As soon as he was de-transformed, he flung out his Dangerous Zombie Gemma Ridewatch, transformed, and pounced on Ryou, pounding him repeatedly.

"YOU'RE GOING TO DIE, EVEN IF THIS TAKES ALL NIGHT!!!"

Ryou de-transformed, and Genus was about to strike, but Ryou stopped his final punch with his Drive Ridewatch, which he used to transform.

He shoved off Genus, and both clicked their Ridewatches, launching their powered up attack, and collided into each other.

When the smoke emerged, both lost their transformation again, and both held up another Ridewatch.  Genus, his Evolt Ridewatch, and Ryou, his Geiz Revive Ridewatch.

"Henshin!" Both called out.

By that time, Aizawa, Midoriya, and Sunny had just arrived, to see a furious battle taking place.  Ridewatches were scattered everywhere, next to broken drivers and broken Ridewatches.

And standing in the middle of it all was Ryou and Genus, still clashing it out.

"Are these...all the Ridewatches they've used?!" Midoriya scanned the area. "How are they still fighting?!"

Sunny was about to intervene, but Aizawa held her back.

"No...not yet."

Ryou and Genus both nearly collapsed, both de-transformed, standing across from one another.

Ryou had only one Ridewatch left.  His Zi-O Ridewatch, and Genus only had his Gemm Ridewatch left.

"So it's come down to this...finally." Ryou gasped for air.

Genus held up his Ridewatch and clicked it. "You...how are you still holding on, after all of this?!"

Ryou held up his Zi-O Ridewatch and transformed.

"YOU...THE IMPERFECT VERSION OF ME, THE ONE WHO WAS JUST "GIVEN" THE POWER OUT OF PITY, BECAUSE YOU DON'T ACTUALLY HAVE A QUIRK.  I SHOULD HAVE BEEN THE ONE TO RECEIVE IT IN THE FIRST PLACE!!!  I'M THE ONLY ONE WHO REALIZES THE FULL POTENTIAL OF KAMEN RIDER POWERS!!! THEY ARE MADE TO RULE WITH AN IRON FIST!"

Ryou waited for Genus to transform, trying to see what his next move would be, but he just seemed to have...lost it.

"RYOU SOUTOU, YOU HAVE GOTTEN IN MY WAY SEVERAL TIMES!  FOILED ALL OF MY PLANS!  AND NOW I'LL KILL YOU...AND TAKE U.A. WITH YOU!!!! I DON'T NEED A LEAGUE OF VILLAINS, OR ALL FOR ONE TO DO IT FOR ME!!!"

Ryou and Genus both smashed a fist at each other's face, both grunting as they tried to make the other give way.

He isn't laying another hand on anybody ever again!!!
