## Plot

“20 Kamen Riders, but there’s only one who stands above them all. Will he be the savior or the end to all riders forever?”

Shari and Neo arrive in Moonstar City 2036, one year before the Overlord rose to power. Shari looks around and is amazed by how normal and peaceful the world looks. Shari says that the Overlord lives in the area somewhere but without a picture, she’ll have to rely on her memory of his younger face to find him. Neo says that he’s seen the Overlord’s eyes, he’ll never forget them. Shari tells him to remember that they have to find him and prevent him for gaining his powers, no violence. As Shari walks off, Neo looks at his Rider-watch and says to himself that he’ll make sure that the Overlord never existed, he’ll end him. As the two walk off, a cloaked man watches over them with a ride-watch in his hand. Elsewhere, a woman is being drawn by a young artist, Mike Warner. After he draws the woman, he gets a phone call from his doctor, who asks him to stop by their office. Later, Mike is sitting in the waiting room at the hospital. The doctor calls him in. They sit in the doctor’s office and the doctor tells him that his test results came in and he does have the Pluto Disease. Mike is heartbroken as the doctor tells him that he is the youngest person to have the disease as seemingly people over the age of 50 could only catch it. Mike is only 18. The doctor tells him that although the effects of the disease won’t come into play until the disease is preparing to leave his body, however once it leaves his body, the effects will kill him. The doctor tells Mike that he’ll only have about 1-2 years to live, maybe even less depending on the severity of the disease. Mike walks out of the office and is confronted by his older sister, Marie. They embrace as Mike tells Marie about his diagnosis. On the car ride home, Marie tries to comfort Mike. She tells Mike to live his life as much as he can, and she’ll support him all the way. They stop at a store and Marie goes in the store while Mike decides to take a walk. Meanwhile, Shari and Neo are trying to figure out where they can find the past overlord. As Neo tries to figure it out, Shari is distracted by the surroundings of past Moonstar City. Shari says that she’s never seen the world before the Overlord. Neo tells her to focus on their mission, she’s the only one who was able to see what the past Overlord looks like. Due to Shari’s distraction, she doesn’t notice Mike walk right past them. Neo tells her that they need to look into the city’s database in order to find the Overlord. Shari and Neo sit down as Shari uses her tablet to search through the city’s database. She looks for all the citizens under the age of 20. They look through it till Shari recognizes one of them, Mike Warner. Elsewhere, Mike is walking and hears a voice call to him. He hears it coming from an alley. He is hesitant to go at first but goes to it and see a cloaked figure who runs off and vanishes. Mike sees that the cloaked figure dropped a Ride-watch, tho Mike has no clue what that is. Mike looks at the Rider-watch and walks out of the alley and bumps into Shari. They both apologize to each other and as Mike walks off, Shari realizes that he’s the one she’s looking for. She chases after him but Neo gets to him first and pretends to ask Mike for help so he can get him in an area where no one is around. Once they are alone, Neo transforms into Kamen Rider Neo and tries to kill Mike but is then stopped by Shari. Mike ends up running away as Shari and Neo argue. Mike runs off and is being watched by a masked person. The masked person has brought an android from the future with them and send them after Mike. Mike is attacked by the android as Neo and Shari catches up to him. Neo sees the android, and not wanting it to kill Mike before he does, Neo fights the android. Shari is about to assist Neo by transforming herself, however, her ride-watch isn’t working, and the android knocks her driver out of her hand. The driver falls into Mike’s hands. He then has visions of the 19 other riders and a glimpse of his seemingly Overlord future. He learns how to transform using his Rider-watch and transforms into Kamen Rider Nexus. The android is about to attack Shari, but Nexus saves her and fights the android. Due to the lack of experience, he isn’t able to properly fight the android, causing Nexus to dimorph. Neo defeats the android. Neo then tries to attack Mike.
