Episode: Final Nights and Interlude Battle

Written By: Pablo L. Puente Jr.

Final Nights:

Asuka Taichi: The Multiverse, a massive plane of existence where every and all universes may exist, the plane of infinite existence.  When I was a child, every night my father would tell me stories about his journeys across the infinite realms of the Multiverse, on the train of time, the Phantom Liner.  He said it was there that he met some of the greatest warriors that the Multiverse had ever seen.  He would call them my uncles; Joshua-jisan, Seto-jisan, Shirou-jisan, Hayden-jisan, Hagio-jisan, Kenji-jisan, and Gadez-jisan.  I never got to meet them.  Father always said if it was possible to travel the Multiverse again, that maybe one day I would meet them.  Maybe even learn what it meant to be a true hero.  

[Location: Hokkaido, Japan: BIO HQ: Final Laboratory (Date: 2031年 12月25日)]

Outside the burning headquarters of BIO Hokkaido, both the Japanese Ground Self-Defense Force, and the United States Marine Corp. are launching an all attack.  As artillery shells explode in the neighboring area and Marines rescuing civilians left, Asuka Renn speeds by in his Mach 3 Double-Speeder, shooting through the entry walkway and racing in.

Now inside, Renn leaps off the bike to head down the stairs leading to the secret underground research facility.  Explosions and small fires begin to break out, but Renn isn't even deterred by the events; he merely continues to run.  After several minutes of running left and right through a maze of hallways and rooms, he final reaches the massive testing room where his target awaits him.

Asuka Renn: [Stopping suddenly] Katsuhiro Asumu!

Ultima: [Looks at his body then to his opponent] The name is Ultima, did you forget that Asuka-san?

Asuka Renn: It's over. There is nowhere else for you to hide.

Ultima: How long have we been at this Asuka-san; about a little over 20 years now, isn't it?  Do you
really think this is the end?!  I'll just rebuild it all over again.

Asuka Renn: Not this time.  It all ends tonight!

Ultima: [Shows his dismay] Oh Asuka-san, nothing is ever over.  I mean think about it, you left on your wild goose chase through the vastness of time and space in order to stop Great Leader and his army.  Then you came home and found me knocking at your door with my army of kaijin.  Someone else will come along to take my place.

Asuka Renn:  I'll be waiting for them as well but first I'm going to stop you.

Ultima: [Begins to pace back and forth] Why Asuka-san, why must it have to end like this?  Was it so wrong to seek perfection?!

Asuka Renn: When it calls for the lives of many innocent people, yes!

Ultima: Who are you to judge me then!

Asuka Renn: [Holding the Gemini Memory in the air] This worlds hero, remember that!  Henshin!

Gemini Memory: [Deep Voice] GEMINI!

Ultima: [Fires energy beams from his hands] DIE!

-Balls of energy begin to scream by Renn, causing massive explosions near the wall he stands.  Closer and closer the shots come, surrounding Renn in flames.  Within the flames of the attacks, Renn's Gemini Memory produces a small force field as his armor begins to materialize over his body.

Ultima continues to fire causing the surrounding area to collapse above Renn. Ultima stops firing and laughs manically.  As he throws his arms in the air, due to his joy, the collapsed ceiling begins to move upward, revealing Double-O.  His eyes begin to glow a very dark yellow.  A deep scar on his left eye cuts through the silver circles that connect his eye.  His armor is a very dark cyan color and has cuts and burns all over.  The scarf around his neck tries to wave in the air but the holes in them make it to where they float for a brief second.

Ultima: Why won't you just die!

Double-O: For as long as you've known me, do I strike you as a person who gives up?

Ultima: [Runs at Double-O] I will be the ultimate life form of this world.

Double-O: [Jumps over Ultima and poses] It's Showtime boys and girls, so let's get this show on the road!

Ultima: [Backs out of a wall] I'm going shut that mouth up!

-Ultima races toward Double-O and tackles him.  Double-O place his feet down into the ground causing him to slow down; this allows Double-O to help him flip Ultima over and slamming him into the ground.  Double-O pops up from the ground, but Ultima followed right behind him.  Double-O rotates his right leg into Ultima's face sending him spinning around.  After spinning around Ultima lands and quickly throws several punches on Double-O's face.

The attack confuses Double-O, which allows Ultima to gain the upper hand in the battle.  Left and right the punches are thrown with massive amounts of energy behind them.  Each blow confuses Double-O even further.  Eventually, Ultima tackles Double-O through the ceiling through several floors until finally reaching the outside.

Now outside, an unconscious Double-O lays in the field while Ultima begins attack the army outside with his energy attacks.  One by one, tanks, fighter jets, and marines come under attack and are easily defeated.  The day sky turns to night due to the amount of smoke that hits the atmosphere.

Ultima: Is this all the might of both the US and Japanese military?  What a joke!  Even this world's greatest hero is now defeated, I am truly the Ultimate life form in the world.  Nothing in this world can stop me!

Double-O: [In a groggy voice] Will you shut up, I'm trying to sleep.

Ultima: [Turns around] You're still alive?  Why don't you lay there and die?

Double-O: [Stands up slowly] If I did that, I wouldn't have fun at all.

Ultima: Fun, is that all you want out of life?!

Double-O: All I want in this world is to be with the love of my life, and watch my boy Taichi grow up to live a life I never got too.

Ultima: What a weak excuse for an existence!

Double-O: Hmph, your existence is weak, only wanting power!  I met a man like that once, and guess what; my friends and I killed him twice.  Trust me; you are nowhere near his potential.

Ultima: What would you know!?

Double-O: More than you can ever hope for.  [Extends his right arm point] Now, count up your sins!  [Chuckles]  Just doesn't sound right coming out of my mouth, sorry Shotaro-san.

-Double-O pulls the both levers on the O-driver which forces the energy out of the driver which causes the blue color on his body to be pushed off like a small cloud.  His right arm changes to the color red, while his left arm turns a dark blue color.  The O-driver begins to radiate a light blue aura.

Double-O: [Extends his arms out towards his hips] Double-O…..Final!  Let's finish this!

-Double-O and Ultima charge at each other like bulls.  Ultima begins to fire his energy attack but Double-O counters his twin Blay-Busters.  As they approach each other, Double-O slides under Ultima's legs and fires at his crotch, causing severe pain to him.

As Ultima hunchers forward, Double-O grabs him by the shoulder and tosses him into the air.  Ultima floats for several seconds, at the mean time, Double-O places his memory into the drive slot and charges his kick.

Double-O: And for the kick!

-Ultima starts to fall and as he is about to crash into the ground, Double-O kicks him into the ruined BIO Lab like a soccer player kicking a goal.  The impact of Ultima's body into the building causes the rest of it to collapse on him.

Double-O: [Runs around like an idiot] Goaaaaaaaaaaaaaaal!  Now that is how you play the game!

Ultima: [From the rubble] DOUBLE-O!

Double-O: Oh crap.

-The rubble explodes in a furry as Ultima dashes towards Double-O.  With his hands spread forward, he grabs Double-O arm and locks him into place.  With that, Ultima mouth opens up and bites down on it.  Double-O begins to scream as Ultima's jaw begins to crush the bones in his arms.  After hearing the snapping of the bones, Ultima breaks the right leg with a massive thrust with his leg.

With several punches to the head, Double-O breaks free, but Ultima come back and wail on him with power punches.  Several punches to Double-O's ribs begin to crack causing more pain to him.  Double-O falls to his knees.

Ultima: You were never a match to begin with Asuka-san.  Just give up and die.

Double-O: [Helmet disappears and spits at him] Go to hell.

Ultima: As you wish.

-Ultima raises his fist and sends it flying towards Double-O but at that moment, Double-O moves his head out of the way and shoves his hand into Ultima's chest.  A glow surrounds the entry of Double-O's hand and Ultima's chest.

Double-O: [Stands as he pushes Ultima's around] I swore to myself that I would never, ever use this move again.

Ultima: What are you doing?!

Double-O: It's taken me nearly 20 years to finally master Gemini's power.

Ultima: What are you doing?!!!!

Double-O: Using the power of duality, that's what.  I'm going to make sure you never, ever come back!  Trust me, this is going to hurt.

Ultima: WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!!!!!

-Double-O yanks his arm out of Ultima's chest removing a small light.  Ultima falls down, as his body turns black and crumbles to pieces.  The light fades into the air.  As this happens, the Gemini memory ejects itself out of the driver and lands on the floor.  Renn crashes to the floor.

Gemini Memory: [Shatters] Gem……ini.

Asuka Renn: It's….finally…over.  Mitsuko….Taichi….I love…

[Black Out]


Interlude Battle:

[Location: Battle Royal Casino, Stadium Area]

-On the floor of a massive Stadium, Asuka Taichi finds himself unconscious.  The stadium is nearly empty with only one spectator watching from the massive press box seating.  The man, hidden in shadows, snaps his fingers which teleports the crowd of spectators.  The people begin to scream and cheer for the oncoming battle.  With the loud cries of excitement, Taichi wakes up.

Asuka Taichi: [Slowly gets up] What the….where am I?

Announcer: Alright!  Let's get this show on the road!

Crowd: YEAH!!!!

Asuka Taichi: Seriously, what is going on?

Announcer: For our first match of the Ultra Battle; Kamen Rider Eclipse, versus….

-The O-driver mark 4 appears over Taichi's waist, which startles him.

Asuka Taichi: What's going on?

Announcer: Kamen Rider Rust!

Asuka Taichi: Versus!?

-As a confused Taichi stands and waits, a man appears before him and stands.  He slides open his jacket with his left hand and with his right places over the buckler.

Noboru Shirou: Henshin!

-After slide his right hand over the buckler, the suit materializes.  From there he fixes his helmet and charges towards Taichi.  Taichi leaps out of the way, but Rust keeps attacking without any pause in his movement.

Asuka Taichi: It can't be, Noboru-jisan.  Why am I fighting you?!

Noboru Shirou: -silent-

Gaia Memory: Eclipse.

Asuka Taichi: It can't be you, but if it is I am so sorry about this.  Henshin!

-Taichi leaps out of the way again but as he rolls away from him, his suit materializes.  His red eyes glow.  After standing up, Eclipse goes at it with Rust.  It is there that massive stadium field changes to look like downtown Manhattan.

Eclipse, proficient in kicking techniques, lines a series of kicks at Rust, but Rust defends from them.  Rust follows up with a set of punches but Eclipse moves away from them.

Eclipse: Rust, stop it please, I don't want to fight you!

Rust: [Throws a punch] Says the man who just attacked me with kicks.

Eclipse: [Locks up Rust's arm] Listen to me, my name is Asuka Taichi, I am Asuka Renn's son.  You knew him as Double-O.

Rust: [Breaks free] I don't know anyone by that name.

Eclipse: [Dodging attacks] How is this possible, you are Rust.

-It is then that Rust pauses and begins to charge up his body.  His body begins glow a dark red.  Taichi looks in awe as he recognizes what is going on.

Eclipse: [gasp] That's Rust's Ruby Drive.  He is changing into Burning Rust!

-After charging up, Rust's speed multiplies, and he dashes toward Eclipse. In a blink of an eye Eclipse finds himself being pummeled by the ferocious power of Burning Rust.  Each blow begins to rust
Eclipse's armor, but Eclipse's healing factor takes into affect.  After several attacks, Eclipse manages to get some distance from Rust.

Eclipse: You're a lot more powerful than what dad use to tell me about.  What should I expect since you are one of the most advanced cyborgs in the known Multiverse. I guess I have to get a little creative then.

Rust: How do you know me?!

Eclipse: Something New!  Remember that!

Rust: Renn…

-Rust startled races toward Eclipse and jumps into the air to perform Burning Rust Kick.  A vortex of wind filled with burning metal pieces surrounds Rust as he flies towards Eclipse.  Eclipse stands there preparing for the oncoming attack.

Eclipse: Come on, even I know this one.

-Rust comes crashing into Eclipse, but Eclipse grabs his foot with both his hands, taking the brunt of the impact.

Rust: Double-O…!

Crowd: YEAH!!!!!

Eclipse: I can't believe that worked.  What was dad thinking…!

-The power of Rust's attack begins to eat even faster at Eclipse's suit.  To counter it, Eclipse slams Rust into the ground, forcing him to revert back.

Rust: Nice trick, not even your old man did that.
-Rust gets back up and begins an onslaught of attacks.  To counter it, Eclipse uses his illusion technique to disappear from Rust's sight.  Confused, Rust switches his visions to see where Eclipse disappeared to.

Eclipse: [Punches him in the face] Over here!

-Back and forth, Eclipse hides and places several punches into Rust's face.  This disorientates Rust for a brief moment.  Rust counters by waiting for Eclipse to attack.  It is there that he grabs his fist and begins attacking him return.

Rust: Cocky little boy, just like your old man.

Eclipse: [Eyes glow red] Oh yeah!

-The two continue fighting each other with no clear victor.  Rust tries a series of kicks but it makes too hard to land with Eclipse's consistent use of his Eclipse cloak. In order to put more distance between them, Eclipse draws out his Eclipse Lancer to help fight.

Max Drive Slot: Eclipse, Maximum Drive!

Eclipse: And for the finisher.

-Eclipse swings his lancer forward like a scythe towards Rust, but Rust catches it.  The energy from the attack surges through Rust's arm.

Rust: I've had a good amount of experience with Gaia Memories kido, yours isn't any different.

Eclipse: That's where you are wrong.

-Eclipse removes the memory from the slot in the lancer, and places it with in his belt.  It is there that
Rust catches him by the neck.

Max Drive Slot: Eclipse, Maximum Drive!

-Eclipse's left fist begins to glow.  It is then that he punches Rust's buckler.  The aura produced by his fist stays on his buckler.  The attack forces Rust to let go of Eclipse.  Rust's suit begins to constrict and ventilate massive amounts of steam.

Rust: What have you done?

Eclipse: Eclipsed your powers.

Rust: Eclipsed?

Eclipse: Last call!

-Eclipse hits the button on his drive slot once more, but this time, the energy shoots him up in the air.  He comes screaming down with a kick, but Rust catches him.

Rust: I know this trick by now.

-Eclipse, with his free leg, swings it around towards Rust's face causing him to let go.  Once more, Eclipse jumps into the air to perform his kick but this time it lands.  The foot lands on Rust chest, causing him to come crashing into the floor.  The energy disperses, which forces Rust's suit to disappear.

Eclipse: Rider kick…

-Taichi reverts back down, and helps Shirou from the ground.  It is there that the crowd goes wild as the arena reverts back.

Announcer: And the Winner is, Eclipse!  Give it up for our two challengers.

Noboru Shirou: Good job kido, it's been a while since I've had this much fun fighting.

Asuka Taichi: Thanks.  Come on let's get out of here.

-The two walk off.  After they walk off the stadium goes black.  In the press box, the mysterious man sits there, and waits for the next battle.  It is then that a single light goes on, and shines a small little board.  On the board is several figures of each rider that is going to participate.
Mysterious Man: Hmm, the next two fights will be; Hunter vs. Genki, and Cast vs. Sin.  That should be interesting.

-Another light shines as the first one turns off.  The light shines over a hostess.

Hostess: I will alert the one known as Cast.  He is already here in the Royale.

[Several minutes later: Room 3106]

-There is a knock on the door.  The occupant of the room sits by the window seal as he polishes his gun type weapon.

Hostess: Amagi Daigo, your fight will be coming up soon.  Please prepare.

Amagai Daigo: Hmph, very well.
