## Plot

Cyber fights the hoppers and the hoppers then vanish. Karen tries to confront Cyber, but he then rushes away. Austin gets a vision of Cyber’s original past. Meanwhile, Jennifer is talking to someone in her office about the dangers of DX. The person turns out to be the mysterious girl who says that the more power DX obtains, the closer they’ll draw to the end of everything. Lance and Eric come in to await orders from Jennifer who says to keep an eye on DX. If he’s after Cyber’s power, they can wait till both are together to make their move. The girl, however, brings up another idea. Meanwhile, Miranda and “Austin” walk through the city and Austin is acting weirdly kind. They then come across Miranda’s grandmother’s store. Miranda continues to wonder why her grandmother’s store is in every universe they go to. She goes into the store to find another different version of her grandmother. Miranda says that she’s getting a headache over what’s been going on. Austin tells her that everything will be okay. Miranda wonders why Austin has suddenly changed. Elsewhere, the real Austin asks Karen who just saved him, and she says that it was her husband, Matthew Briggs, Kamen Rider Cyber. She then says that he was fighting against the Shifters and used the Hyperdriver. The Hyperdriver malfunctioned and he has been stuck at hyper speed ever since. Austin tells Karen that he’s going to go find Miranda and Karen says that she may have already been killed by a Shifter. Austin says that he’s been hearing a lot about Shifters and wants to know what they are. Karen shows him a picture of a Shifter and Austin recognizes it since he fought one before. Austin then says that he still needs the DX driver and needs to know if Miranda has it. He then says that Miranda is too stubborn to be killed. He uses his key to the DX Cycle and the DX Cycle comes to him. He rides away as Ash tells Karen that the man on life support has begun to move. As Austin is leaving, Kamen Riders Beetle and Scorpion appear and kidnap Ash and Karen. Austin makes it to the city. Miranda and the fake Austin walk through the city and Austin runs into them. Miranda begins to wonder why there are two of them. The two Austin’s call each other Shifters as Miranda grabs the DX driver and the DX Blaster. Both Austin’s say that their the real one. Miranda shoots the one that begins to nicely tell her he’s the real one. She tosses Austin the DX driver as the other Austin transforms into a Shifter. Austin transforms into Kamen Rider DX and defeats the Shifter. Austin asks Miranda how she knew which one was the real one and she says that he has never been nice to her, so she automatically knew it was him. Austin says that she’s sweet for that and she punches him in the shoulder. They are then surrounded by CyberVex soldiers. DX prepares to fight them, but Scorpion appears and tells them that they have Ash and Karen. At the secret hideout, CyberVex soldiers and Kamen Rider Beetle invade the hideout. Beetle prepares to tell the soldiers to finish the people off, however he suddenly dimorphs and his beetle driver flies to a bandaged man. Meanwhile, DX stands off against Scorpion and Jennifer who has Karen and Ash tied to a pole. Jennifer reveals that she is actually Judy Frank in Jennifer’s body. She tells Austin to hand over the DX driver or she’ll kill Ash and Karen. Austin says that he can free them himself. Suddenly, Cyber comes and defeats the CyberVex troopers, but Jennifer uses a device to freeze Cyber. She removes the Hyperdriver from his body and he reverts to his break form. She then hits him with a rider sting and he dimorphs into Matthew Briggs. Jennifer destroys the Hyperdriver and says that the driver is too dysfunctional to use so she’ll use it’s piece to build a greater weapon. Austin blasts the pieces of the Hyperdriver, which angers Jennifer. Austin transforms into DX and then turns into Kamen Rider Shift. Jennifer transforms into Kamen Rider Wasp. Matthew is injured, but still transforms into Kamen Rider Cyber. They fight Wasp and Scorpion. Wasp prepares to kill Ash and Karen, but Kamen Rider Beetle appears and frees them. He reveals himself to be the real Lance Bishop and Beetle, DX, and Cyber defeat Scorpion and injure Wasp. She then retreats as Lance and Matthew reunite with Ash and Karen. Matthew talks to Austin and Miranda and tells them that due to him being stuck in Hyper speed, the Hyperdriver allowed him to still have his memories of his original timeline and other Rider timelines. Matthew says that they should find a way to get back to Fusion’s world. Matthew pulls Miranda aside and tells her that DX could be the destroyer of the universe since he saw a timeline where DX battled all the riders and Miranda said that she dreamt it. He tells to lead him on the right path and fix the universes and timelines. Miranda thinks about what the young girl said as another portal appears, and Miranda and Austin go through it. Austin and Miranda end up back in their world as Austin bumps into a young man. As Austin and Miranda continue to walk, the young man turns and smiles saying to himself, “It looks like it’s near showtime.”
