Rizanto Episode 3 And They Don’t Stop Coming

Disclaimer: There is none, you knew what you were in for when you saw who was writing this.

## Deja Vu

The LEGACY team were sat around the round table playing Uno again like usual. Boutaro anxiously held his cards to his chest. He felt like he was in Akagi. He looked at Kiriko. It was his turn now, and if he went, it’d be up to her.

He had five cards left, and she had three. Out of anyone at the table, she had the least amount of cards. The color was red, yet he only had one of his own: a reverse card.

Ichigo would be after him then; there was no doubt he had some stacks.

“Aren’t you going to play already”, said Kiriko impatiently.

“Hold on, hold on”, replied Boutaro. “I have something…”

He was about to put down a card when all of a sudden he held his head in pain. It was almost like he was being filled with numerous old memories.

(“Don’t forget to read all of Fanboy’s series!”)

(‘We fought the guardian beast Spinofaarus, the one you knew as Spinosaurus…..’)

Boutaro looked up and saw it, the constellations. One, a large mass of brilliant light. The other, looking as it were jealous, thirsting after it’s wondrous glow.

The envious cluster of stars then started to coalesce into a more sinister form, resembling that of a monster. While its roar was unable to be heard from the vacuum of space, the bright flashes lighting up throughout the cosmos were a clear enough sign of the monster’s fury.

Boutaro averted his eyes in shock, until even then he was not spared of one final sight. That being a golden sculpture. One that seemed to hold the truth, everything. He yearned for it despite never having seen it before. Though, despite his attempts to reach for it, they were in vain.

A quick transition and a cut to black promptly knocked him out.

When he came to, Boutaro looked around the room, confused. Soreo was out of his chair for some reason and sat back down as everyone had their attention turned to the former.

“Boutaro”, asked the Captain, concerned. “Something wrong?”

Boutaro shook his head.

“What happened?”, he asked.

“You got destroyed at Uno so you passed out”, snarked Kiriko. She waved her singular card in the air. “Making me win.”

Boutaro pointed at her.

“Nuh Uh! You haven’t gotten rid of all of your card-“

“The game ended”, said Soreo plainly. “She had the least amount when it ended so….”

Boutaro collapsed back to the ground, groaning.

“Anyways”, continued Soreo. “We got a call from an archeological dig. We have to assist with its care and handling.”

He turned to Ichigo.

“Wait here on standby while we go.”

“Alright”, he said.

He turned around to the other team members.

“As for the rest of you…..LEGACY, move out!!!!!”

“Roger!!!!!”, all of them barring Boutaro shouted.

“Roger…..”, groaned Boutaro on the floor.

The team members walked out of the room while Ichigo watched Boutaro crawl behind them.

## McGuffin Thingy

The LEGACY team members barring Ichigo were now walking through a large dig site. It was in a clearing adjacent from the city, a few miles away. Dust was rising in the air as they walked by. People hustled between various tents carrying supplies, tools, and even artifacts. Boutaro looked off to the side and saw an open container with these long lost treasures.

One of these was a strange tablet that had various scribing on it. However, it seemed like the cover did have legible writing in a modern language. It read “Metaverse One Shot”.

To him, it was a shame that no one seemed to look at it, though he continued onward. Soon, they would encounter a man with a hat, jeans, and a plad shirt who seemed to be waiting for them there.

The man walked up to Soreo and they shook hands.

“Doctor Hikari…”

“Captain Soreo, I’m glad you could make it.”

Soreo nodded.

"We received your call about the artifact. We're to help assist in its delivery to the science center, correct?"

"Yes.....I hope you will take great care in helping us with its recovery."

"Oh we will. We are the professionals after all...."

Hikari looked over Soreo's shoulder to see Kiriko sleeping, Mendou guzzling choccoballs out of a strange item found in one of the many boxes in the artifacts, and Boutaro shadow boxing. Soreo noticed this too and cleared his throat, prompting everyone to quickly stop what they were doing and stand at attention. The two men looked back at each other again.

"I see.... Well, I'll guide you to the artifact then."

"Lead the way."

Doctor Hikari took them through the busy dig site, leading them to where the artifact was held. As he led them there, he explained to them about the artifact and its significance.

"This isn't any ordinary artifact you see, it actually might be the key to uncovering more about the ancient civilization 30 million years ago."

Soreo stroked his chin.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't that before humans evolved?"

Hikari turned back to look at Soreo.

"You think we were the first forms of intelligent life on this planet?"

Soreo raised up his hands in defeat.

"Alright, continue."

The Doctor cleared his throat.

"Why yes....anyways, this ancient civilization has already created so many interesting and groundbreaking things. Items like the sacred One Shots, penned by an unknown author that we still have yet to read, the legendary Baraji Biru Benda, and of course, they were the ones behind the invention of sliced bread."

"Fascinating...."

"The more we learn about this civilization, the bett-"

Soon they came at a roadblock however. In the middle of the dig site were large, almost plastic looking trees that just laid out there seemingly in the open. Hikari groaned as he saw them in the way. He looked back and yelled.

"Oi! CLEAR THIS STUFF!"

Soon, a man in a similar outfit to Doctor Hikari came and started to punch the plastic trees, breaking them down, and causing gold, silver, and blue stud things to fall onto the ground. There was even a purple one, which seemed really enticing to Mendou; however, when he tried to reach for it, the man who destroyed them grabbed his hand, and would not let go.

"Hands off...."

Mendou grunted.

"Why should I?! Stuffs came out of the trees, what makes it yours?!"

"It's my boss'."

"And who decided that?! Just who are you...?"

The man chuckled.

"I'm just a passing through archaeologist."

Hikari shook his head.

"Tsukasa, let go of him and just collect all the studs."

He did just that, can collected all of them, even the purple one. Mendou was being consoled by Boutaro as Hikari walked up to him.

"Let's keep going, you weren't supposed to have any of that anyway."

"N-Not even the purple one?"

"If you did take the purple one I would've started swinging you know."

And with that, the group continued to make their way through the dig site. They saw various skeletons of long extinct kaiju such as the Maskus Flamingos, the Midgus Legus, and of course, the Peekus Lugelius. Very interesting subjects indeed. Anyways, Kiriko accidently fell asleep and almost got offered up to an ancient sacrifice, but that's not the important part. What was important was Boutaro and how he was feeling. Throughout the dig, he couldn't help but feel he saw all of this before.

It was almost like he could've been an ancient being himself, with all these seeming flashbacks to the area itself. The memories flashed into his head, they were almost invasive at this point. He saw glimpses of a large monster rampaging. He could see armies, legions of monsters arriving to bring the world to oblivion, and he could see the visage of a golden treasure. And it capped off with a random memory of his, that being Mr. Kabuki not wearing pants, which made him immediately fall back in disgust. When that happened, he finally came to and realized that they had now reached it, seeming to be a tomb of sorts. Everyone had already went in except Captain Soreo, who helped him up, also dusting off his uniform a bit.

"You alright? Didn't seem like your average Mr. Kabuki pants flashback..."

Boutaro nodded.

"I'm alright."

"Very well then, just don't pass out on the job" chuckled the Captain.

"Right."

The two walked inside the tomb and went down the stairwell. Soon, they would meet up with the others, who were all surrounding this odd, no, wonderful item that shined in all its glory. It sort of resembled an elephant seal, yet it had a reptilian vibe to it as well. It was clad in gold and stood atop a platform looking down on everyone else in the room. It was truly a sight to behold, and one that would seemingly trigger certain thoughts from Boutaro. The very things he had imagined and visage in his dreams, seemed to be so real.

Doctor Hikari looked at the members' shocked reactions.

"Wonderful, ain't it? This is the priceless artifact.....I personally think it may be a god of some sorts-"

"Can I lick it?", interjected Mendou.

"No."

"Can I throw it?"

"No."

"Could I possibly....Kick it?"

Doctor Hikari sighed.

"I would say that you're welcome to, but I'd probably have to pay for your medical bills...."

"We live in Japan though."

"Our creator doesn't."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

Soreo looked at Dr. Hikari.

"So, what exactly is the issue?"

Hikari sighed.

"Essentially, we've had trouble moving it from this location because of-"

All of a sudden, a loud roar echoed throughout the land. While it seemed like the workers were still being casual and weren't reacting, Team LEGACY sprung into action and ran outside of the tomb with their high-tech gun pistols in hand. They ran outside while Dr. Hikari sighed again and slowly walked outside of the very same tomb. When they were outside, the team saw the large kaiju Deathdrago roaring at the sky. It shot numerous beams at the ground as it continued to wildly swing its arms in the air.

Soreo looked back at a still casual Dr. Hikari.

"Don't worry, we'll handle this!"

Hikari scratched the back of his head.

"That's the thing, you don't need to-"

"Boutaro! Mendou!" Soreo barked.

"Roger!!!!" they shouted in response.

They started to run towards the monster in question, who was still away from the camp by quite a bit, but that didn't stop them from opening fire on it. The monster felt the small energy blasts hitting its body and started to get angry. How dare these pathetic humans try and hit it with such puny attacks that not even a Zoiger would feel. It started to increase its speed and dash towards them. This would be the clash of the century, a battle truly for the ages. But....that did not seem to be the case.

Deathdrago abruptly fell down into a pit with a loud thud. The pit was dug horizontally and spanned a good distance, seeming more like a canyon than anything. Mendou and Boutaro stopped running, panting as they saw smoke rise from it. Dr. Hikari snapped his fingers while Soreo was quite confused, bamboozled even.

"Yeah....We had to dig a hole to stop them from coming in. They're the reason why it's so hard to move it out of here."

Kiriko gave the man an exasperated face.

"Them? Plural?"

Hikari nodded.

Back in the pit, Deathdrago found company in a Gubila who was on its side, no doubt unconscious, a Demaaga that was banging its head on the walls of the canyon constantly, a Sodom who was digging its claws into the wall and making a wonderful imitation of the Mona Lisa in the likeness of a true idol, and a Geel who was also laid out on the floor.

Once Mendou and Boutaro returned, Hikari explained the situation further.

"The monsters seem to be attracted to the artifact, so we'll need your assistance to help us deliver it to the science center."

Soreo turned to his subordinates. They knew they would have a lot on their hands.

"Alright everyone! Operation Airlift This Thing Out Of Here Away From These Monsters, otherwise known as OATTOOHAFTM, is a go!!!!"

"Roger!!!!!" they all shouted in response.

## Haven't We Done This Before? Feat. Recolors and Retools

Boutaro and Mendou were up in the LEGACY Midgers. They had hooks attached to a crate that contained the artifact in all its wonderful glory. Boutaro was piloting the thinner LEGACY Midger while Mendou was piloting the usual thicker LEGACY Midger. They continued to fly overhead when all of a sudden, they saw two large monsters that were reptilian and purple. They would be classified as Jomonoids, were it not for the fact they now had segments of white armor amongst their bodies.

"We've got some monsters!" said Boutaro.

Captain Soreo was on the ground with Kiriko, following in a STAR-Rusher, with the latter driving. He nodded.

"Alright....Deploy the Land Ejection Godzilla-Type Obliterators....!"

"But Captain...." complained Mendou over the radio. "These feel.....off brand...."

"Who cares if its off brand?! It's just the same as the main brand, and cheaper too!"

"But Cap...."

"I don't get why you all complain about technology when we have perfectly good tools at home."

On an unrelated note, the LEGACY Base's garage were filled with all sorts of various junk and scrap metal. There was a shabbily placed label on top of the garbage that read "LEGACY Weapons Technology" though it should be noted that the L was written backwards, Weapons was spelled 'Weponz", and Technology was written very large in comparison to the other words. The "n" in technology also resembled more of an H. Anyways, back to what the team was doing.

"Alright fine...." relented Mendou. He pressed a combination of buttons in his ship as did Boutaro.

"LEGO! Deploy!" they shouted in unison, as out of where they would normally shoot lasers, numerous plastic cube-shaped objects that seemed to be hastily created started to rain down from the sky. The kaiju in question looked up and saw what was happening and stopped walking. Soon, the ground near them was covered in LEGOs. Boutaro couldn't help but feel that this had happened before. He didn't know how, but that's just what it felt like. One of the altered Jomonoids stepped forward and looked down at the pieces of plastic.

Unbeknownst to LEGACY, a voice was calling out to the monsters.

'Don't step on these!' hissed the voice. 'Whatever you do, do not step on the LEGOs Jomonoiders! They are dangerous weapons that will slash at your feet! Find another way to access the artifact!'

The Jomonoiders looked up to the sky and nodded before they looked at the obstacle before them. They glanced at each other before they rushed in and- and....they swallowed some of the LEGOs.... The monsters started to choke and collapse on the ground as team LEGACY casually drove by them.

"Huh....that was easier than I expected" remarked Boutaro over communications. "I guess the looser regulations must've made it more dangerous for the monsters; good thinking Captain!"

The Captain nervously laughed and scratched the back of his head.

"Yes....that's what I was going for."

The disembodied voice however, was less than pleased and started to curse.

'Damn you!!!! You fools, why would you swallow them?! They're a choking hazard..!!!'

The voice recomposed itself.

'Heh, no matter.....I still have plenty more monsters to send their way.....'

A few minutes later, the convoy were making good time when all of a sudden, another duo of kaiju had arrived. Aboras and Banila, though Aboras now had various red veiny lines and black markings amongst his body, as well as his horn now being increased in size and more curved. The latter of the two now had more black on its body as well, except it also possessed gothic tesla coils from its back all the way to its tail. The LEGACY convoy stopped, pondering what to do as the monsters fired a warning shot. That being a combination beam of improved acid that resembled magma more than anything and fire with some lightning surrounding it.

The monsters started to slowly approach them as Soreo looked down at his communicator and spoke into it.

"Ichigo! Any idea on how to deal with these monsters?"

At the LEGACY base, Ichigo watched everything unfold from the monitor. The scientist shrugged, shifting through papers.

"That's supposed to be Banila and Aboras....Though looking at the files here, they're supposed to be mortal enemies."

Soreo looked at the two approaching monsters and scratched his chin.

"I wonder what got them to get along...."

From Banila and Aboras' point of view, they were finally going to achieve their task. Banila stepped back, motioning towards his blue counterpart.

'Please I insist, you go first....' was probably what Banila was roaring about.

Aboras shook its head.

'No, no, I could never....please, you go and get it' was what Aboras probably responded with.

The same disembodied voice from earlier interjected.

'I'm glad you two are finally getting along, but uh, you can just go at the same time...."

The two kaiju looked at each other and nodded. They continued to approach the convoy as the voice laughed.

'There's no way you can beat the combined power of Skull Aboras and Thunder Banila!!!!'

In the LEGACY base, Ichigo looked up at the screen again. He had just come up with another idea, conveniently.

"Cap, I think I know what might be able to deal with those two monsters."

"What is it?" responded Soreo.

"I'm going to upload it into the main monitor and then I'll have it connect with the speaker in Boutaro's ship. I'm going to communicate with the monster."

"What??? You can do that?!" asked Boutaro in shock. He nearly fell back from his seat in the cockpit when he heard the revelation.

"While I was trying to win yet another online argument, I stumbled upon some old data from the SSSP and ZAT files. An SSSP member made a sheet to help speak a space language and ZAT made a device to talk to trees."

"What does that have to do with Earth monsters?"

"I'll talk really slow and loud if they don't understand me, full American style."

Ichigo got on his laptop and pressed a few buttons and soon he was ready. He prepared a microphone, got out some papers, and drank a bottle of water. Everyone waited anxiously as the monster got closer and closer until, they heard a voice.

"Ahem, can you understand me?"

The kaiju looked at each other, then back at Boutaro's ship. They nodded.

"Good. Would you two consider yourselves the best of friends?"

They nodded again.

"Alright....Well what if I were to tell you 'she' was cheating?"

Inside his ship, Boutaro tilted his head.

"Who is she-"

Boutaro was quickly interrupted by the sound of the two monsters arguing with each other.

Skull Aboras turned to Thunder Banila, and looked his friend in the eyes.

'IS THIS TRUE?' was most likely what it was conveying with its roar.

'Hey, man! You should've paid more attention to her!' was probably what Banila responded with.

'WHY YOU?!'

The disembodied voice was dismayed.

'H-Hey calm down, both of you! You're both high value monsters, you don't need to be fighting over a simple woman!'

However, his words fell on deaf ears. The kaiju started to brawl, punching, swiping, and biting each other with more ferocity than wild animals scrapping over food. The convoy continued on their way as the monsters ended their clash with a beam struggle. Their energy attacks' clash pushed away many nearby objects, one of which striking Kiriko in the head while she was driving, causing her to almost swerve into a nearby ditch. The two kaiju put everything they had into their two attacks, but at the end of the day, neither could win, and when all was said and done, they both collapsed to the ground. Their passion and love for her, being the only things that remained in this world.

The disembodied voice sniffled before toughening up.

'No matter what contingencies I seem to have in store, they always work around it! I-I have to stop history from repeating itself with these monsters!'

Time passed once again and as the team were nearing the city, a large blue monster emerged from the ground. This time, instead of being Aboras, it was Fire Golza surprisingly. The kaiju snorted before growling at the ensemble of the LEGACY team. Smoke left its nostrils as it started to approach the team, firing a large beam attack that barely missed Mendou's ship.

"Darn! This monster wants to spew magma everywhere!" announced Mendou angrily.

Soreo looked at his communicator.

"Ichigo..."

At the LEGACY base, Ichigo shook his head.

"I'm afraid I can't speak to this one. Using the device, I have to actually patch into their inner brainwaves. This thing is too hotheaded...."

Soreo sighed.

"Very well then, it looks like we'll have to break out the big guns...."

As they were preparing a new strategy, Boutaro couldn't help but feel all of this had happened before. His head started to partially fill with visions, brief visions of that Golza with more normal coloration being coaxed into a nearby volcano. Was this something that had happened prior? It felt like it. He tried to continue thinking about what it could mean, but no, it was time to focus on the mission. He could worry about all of that nonsense later. The LEGACY Midgers resumed flying forward as the STAR-Rusher started to drive up to get to a closer proximity to the kaiju. However, their seeming attack plan which probably would've involved opening fire on it and then running, was quickly disrupted when the beast curled up into a ball.

It roared as it then leapt in the air and tried to take both of the LEGACY Midgers down. They were all connected to the same artifact, so it was all hopeless, right? No. Boutaro thought quickly and detached his cables, making them dangle precariously in the air. He quickly flew out of the way as did Mendou. Golza simply flew past the two aircraft and once it landed, the monster continued rolling. The momentum of its jump caused it to continuously roll until it of course, made its way to the canyon outlooking the excavation site.

On the edge of the cliff, was none other than Tsukasa, brooding silently. He looked in the distance and saw an odd round thing rolling towards the area.

"Hey....wait a minute...."

There it was, Gorg Fire Golza rolling towards the canyon at full speed. The kaiju soon made its way to the edge and almost fell down. The kaiju had finally unraveled and now acted as some sort of make shift bridge in the canyon. It using its hands and feet, claws on both, to dig into the ground was what was stopping it from falling into the pit and destroying the makeshift sculpture of the Iron King that the other monsters down there helped Geel construct.

The disembodied voice was very dismayed, but he still knew he could salvage the situation.

'Alright, alright, Gorg Fire Golza!!!! You can still get your way out of this jam...! In fact, I'll help you...Now, raise your hand-'

The kaiju did just that and seemingly got more leverage.

'Now all you have to do is push your legs to where your left can now get onto the cliff's edge....'

Golza did just that and now, with three appendages on the edge of the cliff, he was surely going to pull himself up.

'Good....good, now keep going....'

Tuskasa shook his head. He may not have been able to hear the voice commanding Golza, but he knew what the monster was after. He sighed.

("I really don't like the feeling of this....so....")

He attached a pink and gray belt to his waist before taking out a card.

"Henshin!"

He slipped the card into the driver as he transformed.

"Kamen Ride: Decade!"

He had now transformed into the one, the only, Kamen Rider Decade. Tsukasa looked at the kaiju and shook his head as he took out a card flamboyantly.

"I'd rather you'd stay down with the rest of them."

"Final Attack Ride: D-D-Decade!"

He jumped in the air and jumped through multiple card like projections, finishing with a powerful rider kick to the tail, before leaping above the monster and passing it on the other side. He didn't look back, but while the attack wouldn't have destroyed the monster, not by a long shot, it did break its concentration enough to lose its grip and fall into the pit. Luckily, it fell on the other monsters, who were content at the last to not have their hard work destroyed.

Tsukasa looked to the sky.

"There's no doubt about it. Something world ending is about to happen...."

With that, he got on his bike that suddenly appeared, and started to ride towards where he thought the action would be.

The disembodied voice cursed to himself meanwhile.

'Damn it!!!! Now there's that guy?! Where does that Don Shine rip-off get off trying to interfere?!!! Well....I'm still not done yet....'

## Wandaba Wandaba Wandaba + Fight Fight Fight + Reset?

The LEGACY team had to land the LEGACY Midgers so that the cables to the crate containing the artifact could be attached again. Mendou was the main one doing the heavy lifting with them, while Kiriko oversaw. Albeit, she just put on a sleeping blindfold with eyes drawn on it to look awake. Captain Soreo was talking with Dr. Hikari, who had managed to catch up with the team when he heard the news. Boutaro was left to his lonesome, sitting next to a bush. He was pondering all the past memories he seemed to have been having.

("J-Just.....Just what could these memories be? Are they just hallucinations.....Deja Vu? I keep on seeing the monsters before they-")

An image of Mr. Kabuki in his underwear flashed in his head. He closed his eyes and screamed in horror, trying his best to repress the memory.

"Nevermind....I think if I keep looking back into memories, I'll be reminded of *that*."

As he was thinking, he heard a large collection of roars. Everyone heard them as well and they all turned to see four monsters ambling towards them. The monsters all stopped and started striking poses as Ichigo in the control room scrambled to try and communicate with them.

The first monster, with whip tails spoke.

'Dom-Gudon!!!!' it roared. However, this Gudon had whips more like that of a....certain occupation that we cannot mention here for censorship reasons.

The second kaiju, with massive claw-like hands posed next.

'Cho-Sadola!!!!!' it skreeonked(not how it sounds its just a word used to convey the fact it's roaring and now I realized this dragged on too long but hey, maybe this helped the pacing or maybe it doesn't oh well). Its claws sort of looked like hands this time around. It was rather odd.

A monster with a broad snout and was brown-ish wore a sort of cape. It posed after Cho-Sadola.

'Lord Detton!!!!!' it roared. It seemed to just be a normal Detton with a cape.

And posing finally was a m- This one can't even really be described, so it will just have to do the talking.

'Twin Tail Hopper!!!!!' it screeched. It was a Twin Tail, but had lime-green coloration and seemed to be a lot bouncier. It tried to pose, but obviously, there wasn't much it could do.

'Together we are, the Underground Guard! The UG for short!!!!' they roared in unison.

Everyone present and who could watch were visibly shaken and weirded out by what they saw. Ichigo sighed and spoke into the microphone.

"Hey! Could you monsters maybe cosplay somewhere else?"

Dom-Gudon shook its head. It pointed towards the crate grandly.

"Look..... What if I were to tell you, that umm...."

As Ichigo was thinking of something, the disembodied voice laughed. Of course, no one but the kaiju could hear him.

'Fools! Not only could they not be directed towards a Taiyo episode due to being monster variants, but they now will be able to brutally kill you all with coordinated dance moves, and particular gimmicks!!!! Now, go my monsters!!!'

The kaiju nodded and started to advance forward, though, Ichigo stopped them.

"Wait!!!! W-What if, I could get you a Don Shine CSM....? Would you leave the artifact alone?"

Dom-Gudon paused for a moment, thought about it, and then nodded. They had reached an agreement.

"Alright, go to the bottom of the Atlantic. There's an old sunken ship that has like 80 of them."

With that, the monsters turned around and walked away. However, the disembodied voice was less than happy. No, it was furious. After all the planning and effort that went into what he did, just to be stopped? Just like that? It was an indignity that could not be suffered so simply. It was a loss that he could not just let slide. And so, just when everyone thought that the last of their troubles had past, *he* descended from the sky.

With a loud thud, a large monster with a massive horn at the top of its head and a mace-like tail had arrived. On its fingers were long claws and it had big fangs to boot as well. It let out an angry roar that caused everyone to quickly react. It started to approach them without any care or concern, causing Mendou and Kiriko to take out their blasters and open fire on the monster. The energy bolts hit the monster, though they only seemed to agitate it.

Soreo looked down at his communicator.

"Ichigo! Try to communicate with that monster!"

"Alright..." responded the scientist.

The kaiju was about to swing its arm downward towards one of the ships, but Ichigo yelled.

"Stop!!!! Just, just tell us what you monsters want with the artifact..."

The monster looked at Boutaro's ship, where the speaker obviously was, and stared at it.

"Why you ask...." said the monster coldly.

"Y-You spoke back?!"

"Yes.... Unlike my counterparts, I am not single minded. You Earthlings already know of us, the Kelbim, though that artifact! That artifact must be forfeit!!!"

Dr. Hikari ran closer to Kelbim, despite Boutaro's attempts to pull him back.

"Why?! It's our only key to looking at the past!"

Kelbim snorted.

"That Spinofaarus statue are what remain of an ancient guardian monster that repelled my kind and even our mother away from Earth!!! We help you simians build your pyramids, and you do this to us! Now....now my species are now no more than brute savages that invade planets like parasites! YOU TOOK OUR DUB AWAY FROM US!!!"

Boutaro fell to the ground, holding his head.

"Oww....owww....my head...."

Dr. Hikari turned to Boutaro and knelt down.

"Are you alright?!"

Boutaro shook his head.

"Ahh!!!! I'm having ah-headache.....like all of this has happened bef-"

Hikari quickly interrupted what Boutaro was saying with a kiss. He pulled back as Boutaro spit profusely and coughed.

"It's okay! I know CPR, you'll be alright!!!!" assured the archaeologist.

"I-I can breathe!!!! I just-"

Hikari once again pulled in for another one, breathing more air into him. Kelbim didn't seem to care for any of this and started shooting fireballs, causing Hikari to stop, and the two ran back as the beast continued its rampage.

"Captain...." said Ichigo. "I don't think I can negotiate with this monster!"

"Very well then" responded Soreo. "I have a plan then!"

He ran towards Dr. Hikari and Mendou when everyone regrouped.

"You two need to pilot the ships and get out of here! We'll distract this thing!"

Dr. Hikari cocked his head.

"M-Me?! I don't know how to fly it!"

Boutaro coughed again and glared at him.

"B-But you know how to use CPR to stop headaches...."

Kiriko snickered.

"I should start calling you BL-Taro from now on."

Boutaro turned to Kiriko.

"Shut up!"

Kiriko put her hands on her hips.

"Serves you right for drawing on my face!!!!"

Soreo raised his hands in the air and tried to disarm the situation.

"Now, now, I'm sure we can-"

All of a sudden a weird pink Rider on a motorcycle came driving in. Everyone looked at the newcomer, confused. Kelbim recognized who it was from earlier, and roared in anger.

"Who are you....?" asked Soreo.

The Rider got off of his bike and walked up to him.

"Just a passing through Kamen Rider...."

Kiriko rolled her eyes.

"First we get those cosplaying monsters and now we have this pink Kamen Rider wannabe! FYI, they're not real...."

"Attack Ride: Slash!"

The Rider pointed a blade to her neck, causing her to jump back.

"I'm magenta....not pink...."

Kiriko frantically nodded.

"O-Of course! Where are my manners...?"

He then looked back at Soreo.

"Anyways, I'll pilot that thing for you."

"T-Thank you..." replied the LEGACY Captain. He turned to everyone else. "Alright! LEGACY Operation Civilian Magenta Not Pink Rider Bait And Switch: Go!!!!"

"Roger!!!!!" everyone said. Even the Rider did, though he was very unenthusiastic about it.

With that, Hikari got in the LEGACY Midger Mendou was piloting and Kamen Rider Decade got into the LEGACY Midger that Boutaro was piloting. They quickly took flight once the cables were fully attached and flew past Kelbim. When he tried to swing at them, he felt numerous blasts shoot at him. He turned to see the LEGACY team all in the four seat STAR-Rusher. Soreo driving, Kiriko at shotgun, and Mendou and Boutaro in the back. Mendou quickly took out the same rocket launcher-esque weapon used on Stellade in the last episode and shot the Twerkathon missile at Kelbim, causing the beast to focus on them.

'You little pieces of garbage!!!!' it roared. 'I'm going to make sure all of you get hit with the kiss of death!!!!!'

Boutaro saw that the monster was gaining on them and turned around to see the Captain driving and Kiriko reading a magazine.

"Cap! He's gaining on us!"

Soreo chuckled.

"Oh Boutaro" he said cheerfully. "I'm going as fast as I can."

Kiriko flipped through some pages and yawned.

"Just aim for the flappy things on its head...."

"Easier said than done! We need more help!"

"Eh, Mendou's got it."

Mendou shot another missile and hit Kelbim right in the face. The monster screeched in pain.

'YOU FILTHY RAT!!!'

It jumped in the air and started to spin rapidly. It continued spin rapidly in the air until it stop and propelled itself to where it was a few meters ahead of the STAR-Rusher. Soreo swerved the vehicle as everyone started screaming.

"Now we're about to be covered in fire you lazy bum!!!!" shouted Boutaro.

"You're the one who made out with someone during a monster attack!" countered Kiriko.

"Technically, it was CPR!!!!"

The monster arched its head back fired a stream of fire at the STAR-Rusher, causing the ground beneath it to burst and the vehicle to leap into the air. Everyone flew out of the car landed, very much injured and unconscious seemingly, but alive nonetheless. Kelbim snorted and turned its attention to the convoy, which was making good time. The beast jumped into the air again and started levitating until it was directly behind them. He swung wildly, forcing Tsukasa and Dr. Hikari to fly the best they could. But, the Kamen Rider could only carry for so long.

It was perfect, this was perfect. Finally, Kelbim would be able to finally achieve what it always wanted. Its people would finally get revenge, the sacred dub they were seeking. It was all going according to plan, even if it didn't at first. That was however, until a bright light flashed in front of it just as its claw was going to finally dismantle the one who repelled its people all those years ago. That light soon expanded and turned into none other than the heroic giant of light, the one working his way up to legend, Ultraman Rizanto.

'No, no, no! No!!!!'

"Yes!!!!" shouted the Ultra with pride as he leapt into the air as soon as he arrived, landing a powerful kick to Kelbim's neck. The beast fell to the ground as Rizanto landed on the other side. He turned around as the monster got up in haste, quickly turning to face the Ultra. The two had a brief staredown as Rizanto got into his stance.

'I can't believe I have to deal with you again!!!!'

Rizanto tilted his head.

"'Again?' Yeah....I had a feeling we were on repeat here somehow!"

'Whatever!' was what the monster probably said with its growling, swinging its arms about. 'I know how you fight! You won't beat me a second time!'

The monster shot various explosive fireballs that Rizanto rolled out of the way of. He overlapped his right hand over his Ultra-Mitten and pulled his hand back, shooting a yellow energy beam at Kelbim. The kaiju started to spin around again rapidly in response and reflected the beam back at the Ultra, sending him flying back. Kelbim then levitated in the air while still spinning and did the same trick it used on the STAR-Rusher, leaping towards Rizanto. Before it could crush him though, the Ultra leapt back just in time. The two faced each other again as the dust cleared. They then began to charge towards each other, the monster roaring and Rizanto grunting.

Rizanto delivered punches and kicks to Kelbim's chest and stomach, whilst the kaiju delivered brutal strikes with its horn and slapped Rizanto repeatedly with its claws. The Ultra pulled back and kicked the monster in the shin, causing the monster to briefly kneel.

"Tell me what's up! Or I'll mess you up...." said Rizanto as he pulled his fist back, like he was going to take the monster's lunch money.

'W-Watch....'

Rizanto tilted his head.

"Watch what?"

'WATCH YO TONE!'

Kelbim sprang up and backhanded Rizanto, sending the Ultra to the ground. The kaiju then picked the Ultra up by the shoulders and started to combo on him, before finishing it with a tail strike that Rizanto was lucky to catch with his hands. He was pushing it back for dear life, but it seemed like the monster was going to win.

'You want me to tell you?!' was probably what the monster hissed. 'Fine! You remember anyway!!!'

"I-I do...?" asked Rizanto, still struggling to push it back.

'Yes.....We have done this song and dance before, me controlling the monsters as well. In the end, you turned me into a constellation with that blasted Ultra-Mitten as well as the artifact! When I was a collection of stars, I seethed and malded about how I could defeat you and that you simply cheated me....'

"What?! Wait....Wait, no, I remember!!!"

This brief revelation however distracted Rizanto and caused him to be knocked back. Sparks shot off of his body as he fell to the ground. Kelbim turned around and let out a monstrous laugh.

'Yes...! So, when I was a star, forced to look at that stupid artifact for eternity I thought, why not use my cosmic form to create a gun and shoot myself?'

"Wha-"

'Very sound logic. So, I shot myself, and that shooting star allowed me to make a wish- A wish to turn back time and let me get a second chance....Though it seems I should've asked for a memory wipe too....'

"Alright, you got me! But...." said Rizanto as he started scratching his chin. "What about your plan did you change....? Any new monsters?"

'No, instead.....I MADE VARIANTS OF THE MONSTERS!!!!'

"That's it?"

'Yes.....you see, I crashed landed on a planet, terrorized a city, and managed to get a large copy of this manual.'

Kelbim took out a giant book and gave it to Rizanto. The Ultra dusted himself off, got up, and started reading. Once he finished he closed the book and handed it back to Kelbim.

'What did you think...?'

Rizanto sighed.

"You....pointlessly adding nonsense to monsters isn't going to change anything.....And that Golza already showed up before!"

Kelbim growled.

'Whatever! That blasted attack team and even that random Kamen Rider got in the way!'

Rizanto put his fists up as they glowed.

"ONLY BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T PUT IN THE EFFORT!"

'YOU'RE NOT THE ONE WHO HAD TO PUT ABORAS AND BANILA IN THERAPY!!!!'

The two charged towards each other. It was time to deliver the final blow. Kelbim tried to hit Rizanto, but the Ultra ducked like a boxer and started to weave out of the punches, no matter if they came from the left or the right. After evading one last punch, Rizanto hit Kelbim with the meanest punish, a directed strike to the chin, sending the kaiju flying a few meters back. The rookie then proceeded to pull his right hand back as it glowed a bright red. He then ran towards Kelbim as the beast slowly got up and hit him with a powerful backhanded slap knocking it to the ground yet again. The monster was blown to smithereens after the fact. Rizanto turned towards the convoy, seeing with his enhanced vision(that totally was a thing before I mean he's an Ultra he literally has Ultra Eyes)that they were already nearing the center.

With the sun now starting set, Rizanto nodded, and flew away.

Now at the science center, the beautiful statue of Spinofaarus shone with brilliance as the LEGACY team, covered in bandages and Dr. Hikari looked on in pride.

"Wow...." said Soreo. "This really is something...."

"Right?" responded Dr. Hikari. "It's wonderful that our predecessors long ago were able to make this. I hope one day, we can make art to surpass this."

Kiriko leaned in next to Boutaro and whispered in his ear.

"Maybe we could make some 'art' about you and your boyfriend...."

Boutaro flicked one of her bandaged areas with his finger.

"Shut up...!"

"You did not just do that twerp...!"

Kiriko kicked Boutaro in the leg.

"Ow!....That's it!!!"

Boutaro started to chase Kiriko around the room, causing everyone else to laugh. As Mendou went to go break things up, Soreo turned to Hikari.

"So, what ever did happen to that pink Rider guy?"

Hikari shrugged.

"I don't know....But, one of my dig members, Tsukasa, did disappear. Still don't know where he is..."

"Huh..."

"Regardless, I think it's time."

The Captain of LEGACY cocked his head.

"Time for what?"

"Hickory Dickory Dock!!!!! The mouse went up the clock!!!! The clock struck one! The mouse went down! Hickory Dickory Dock!!! Tick tock, tick tock, tick tock, tick tock" shouted the scientist as he threw his hands up in the air.

"Huh?"

Hikari chuckled.

"Sorry....do you think that's a good joke for when I present this at this press conference I have tomorrow?"

Soreo shrugged.

"It made me chuckle a bit internally."

"Close enough."

And with that it seemed that the real treasure all along was- Nothing. Spinofaarus is the treasure, always has been, always will be.
