\u201cI…I…\u201d stammered X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cX-PO, is any of that true?\u201d I asked. X-PO\u2019s arms drooped as he gave up trying to hide it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYes, it\u2019s all true, I fudged the results,\u201d he confirmed. I swear, I\u2019ve never heard the F.N.S get so angry. They heaped the verbal abuse and threats of scrapping onto X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cURUSEI, MINNA!\u201d (Everyone, shut up!) I shouted. I turned to X-PO, feeling rather hot from my currently sour mood. \u201cExperimental Portal Operator, you owe us an explanation!\u201d I demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…Guys, when was the last time we came together?\u201d asked X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen we just came back and I apologized to everyone for hiding my…!\u201d I replied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, I mean, before this adventure,\u201d corrected X-PO. \u201cWhen was the last time the F.N.S came here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI wanna say for various dimensional excursions,\u201d I mused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhen we said our goodbyes after the Vortech Wars,\u201d answered X-PO. \u201cWe were all in this room to say our goodbyes to our allies. Oh, sure, like you said, we met when we discussed the use of the Gateway for travelling to other worlds and seeing what happens, but, for some of us, we never used it! For some of us, we weren\u2019t going to get an adventure! I…I wanted an adventure where people could live out history.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Vortech Wars weren\u2019t a fun time for us, even during the beginning!\u201d snapped Emmanuel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOur loved ones were kidnapped!\u201d continued Emily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe were almost killed MULTIPLE times!\u201d snarled Tanisha.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSome of us DID die!\u201d interjected Rusty. Elphaba nodded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSome of us went on a crazy side quest that almost got everyone killed!\u201d roared Irina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGandalf, Batman, Wyldstyle, and I,\u201d supplied Hongo, \u201cfelt lied to, cheated on, and disrespected when Megumi didn\u2019t tell us about Vortech!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat in the name of all nine circles of Hell made you want ANY of that back?!\u201d growled Richard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat I wanted was for you guys to be happy!\u201d shouted X-PO. \u201cI want you to be happy for me! I want me to be happy for you! I want us to come together and riff on bad movies! Celebrate a birthday! Be normal people! I want us to come together and feel like a family and not a bunch of war veterans! I\u2019m not blind to what happened, but sometimes, I felt like the only thing keeping us as friends! I want that feeling back! I want things back the way they were!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNo, that doesn\u2019t justify a DAMN thing!\u201d snarled Alesandro. \u201cYou gathered us here with a lie from long ago! You decided to play the long game with us and waited for some grand adventure! We\u2019ve sent you numerous invitations for those things you mentioned. If you REALLY wanted to continue feeling that, then you would have accepted them! But, no! That wasn\u2019t enough for you! You wanted to relive the glory days with the lies, the threats, the people getting angry with each other, things that some of us were trying to get away from! You\u2019re only concerned with what YOU want! To be frank, I see no difference between you and what Death lectured about Vortech in her classes!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cStill waiting on that essay on Skrandepede from you,\u201d whispered Death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDude, shut up,\u201d grunted War.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s…that\u2019s not fair at all!\u201d argued X-PO.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI think what Alesandro said was VERY fair!\u201d I hissed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was NEVER going to put you in any danger!\u201d insisted X-PO. \u201cThe adventure I had planned was just some haunted house malarkey! I would tell you guys of the supposed \u2018Danger\u2019 and you guys would solve it, and we\u2019d have a big laugh! I never wanted you guys to be on Shocker Rift\u2019s radar!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThen why did you hack into the Tarlaxian scout ship missions?\u201d demanded Scorpainia. X-PO sighed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTechnarain gave me a way into it,\u201d he finally revealed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh, throw me into the warp core, why don\u2019t you?!\u201d snarled Technarain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhoa! Hold on!\u201d called Turretorg. \u201cTechnarain, you let him in?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI couldn\u2019t have the missions be unobserved,\u201d replied Technarain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIs there some secret-keeping epidemic going on?!\u201d shouted Scorpainia. I was about to say something when a certain… \u201cvworping\u201d noise, as Michael puts it, announced the TARDIS\u2019 arrival. The Doctor, Sougo, Woz in his civilian form, and an old friend we made near the end of the Vortech Wars came out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSandra Noman!\u201d I cheered. \u201cLong time, no see! What brings you to our side of reality?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Doctor wanted me to confirm a finding she made,\u201d explained Sandra. I then noticed the Doctor was wearing 3-D glasses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…Okay, what\u2019s with the…?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, did you find Void Stuff?\u201d asked Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI did! The Rose Clone is saturated with the stuff!\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cDuring my more violent regenerations, I damaged the TARDIS, including its memory banks. I felt like I had seen the energy particles the Rose Clone has but couldn\u2019t cross-check it…until I remembered Sandra Noman!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe visited the little house I made for myself,\u201d continued Sandra, \u201cand showed me what she found. I confirmed it was Void Stuff. The Rift usually acts as a passageway to other universes, but they usually skirt the edge of the Void. As such, you can\u2019t get Void Stuff from the Rift. Believe it or not, the Rift is the long way around.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cAnd the Void\u2019s the shortcut?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBingo,\u201d confirmed Sandra. \u201cHowever, anyone with sense would avoid the Void as it runs the risk of killing you. There ARE a few instances of people living in and travelling through the Void, I believe I\u2019m right in naming the Pete\u2019s World Cybermen and the Cult of Skaro., but they\u2019re really rare.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, it looks like the Rose Clone DID travel through the Void before ending up in the Rift,\u201d answered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cBut, Doctor, couldn\u2019t it be Rose herself?\u201d asked Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI checked,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cRose is still with the Meta-Crisis me in Pete\u2019s World.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo where did she come from?!\u201d I snapped, finally getting annoyed with the mystery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThat\u2019s what we\u2019re about to find out!\u201d cheered the Doctor. \u201cBrigadier, do you mind putting this into the Gateway computer?\u201d She handed the Brigadier a flash drive.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVery good, Doctor,\u201d replied the Brigadier. He inserted the flash drive into the Gateway. The Doctor then keyed in a command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWith the Void Stuff,\u201d she explained, \u201cwe can find the temporal and universal origin of our guest. Rusty, mind getting her so she can figure out her origins?\u201d Rusty grinned before replying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI obey!\u201d she answered in her old Dalek tone. The Doctor flinched as Rusty headed off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t think everything Dalek was purged when she came back,\u201d she grumbled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSo, Sougo-san, Woz-san,\u201d I interjected, \u201cwhat brings you here?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe ended up in your universe\u2019s future and met your future self,\u201d explained Sougo. \u201cShe handed me this before getting the Doctor involved.\u201d He pulled out a watch similar to the one he used to transform into Zi-O but had a vortex on top and the year 2017 on it, the year the Vortech Wars started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI take it that\u2019s the Royal Ridewatch?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIndeed, it is,\u201d replied Woz. \u201cI have a speech prepared for when Waga Ma\u014d uses it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…I don\u2019t…feel any different,\u201d I muttered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYour future said that, because you went to different universes,\u201d explained Woz, \u201cthe Ridewatch won\u2019t take your powers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou understood that?!\u201d yelped Sougo. \u201cI couldn\u2019t make head or tails of it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOh…Rassilon!\u201d swore the Doctor. A look of horror was clear on her face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDoctor, what\u2019s wrong?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI never realized…I mean, I thought it destroyed itself!\u201d whispered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat destroyed itself?\u201d asked Michael.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe Rose Clone…\u201d answered the Doctor. \u201cI\u2019ve seen it before!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhere?!\u201d quizzed Michael. She turned grimly after Rusty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cShe\u2019s in danger!\u201d she declared.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I looked in various rooms to find the Rose Clone. \u201cMiss?\u201d I called. \u201cOh, Miss?\u201d I found her in the Observation Deck. \u201cMiss! There you are!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cTraitor!\u201d she hissed, her back turned to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201c…Pardon?\u201d I asked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cYou betrayed us!\u201d replied the Rose Clone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWho are you talking about?\u201d I inquired. \u201cAre you okay?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI am most certainly NOT okay!\u201d snarled the Rose Clone. \u201cI remember everything now!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat do you remember?\u201d I quizzed. The Rose Clone then started laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was fixed!\u201d she giggled. \u201cIt fixed me! …But I came out wrong! Don\u2019t you understand! I\u2019M ALL WRONG NOW!\u201d She then punched me in the gut, grabbed the gunstick in my left forearm, and ripped it out, leveling it at me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cGive that back!\u201d I shouted. \u201cThat\u2019s dangerous!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI tried to smash the mirrors around here,\u201d snarled the Rose Clone as she advanced on me, \u201cbut I still keep stinking and sweating and flooding myself with hormones! I hate this shape! Am I now doomed to look like the one who contaminated me?! One…just one! One directive! The primary order! Destroy and conquer! I had that left and now I am stuck looking like Rose Tyler! I was the last…but trust the Time-Lords and Daleks to make liars of us all! No one really died in the Time War, did they?! You know about that! You were made after me!\u201d A grave suspicion formed in my mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWhat…manner of creature are you?!\u201d I gasped. As she advanced, I noticed the shadow she was casting morphed and changed, looking very similar to what I traveled in. She spoke, causing a memory to stir.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cMy Jailer, Van Statten, called me Metaltron!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cRubbish!\u201d called Michael when we heard that the Rose Clone was the former last of the Daleks. The ones heading to the Observation Deck were me, the Doctor, Sougo, Michael, Woz, and Batman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI hope you\u2019re right; I really do!\u201d replied the Doctor, \u201cbut the spatio-temporal origin came from my universe! 2012, the GeoComTex Vault, near Salt Lake City, the start of Barack Obama\u2019s 2nd<\/sup> term as President of the United States! It would explain why she would constantly view that event when she got the chance!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, that\u2019s absurd!\u201d insisted Michael. \u201cThat Dalek killed itself when it discovered that Rose passed on more than her DNA. It exploded, remember?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt may have activated a hastily thrown together spatial-temporal shift,\u201d argued the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat is going on?!\u201d interjected Sougo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn 2012, just after the Last Great Time War between the Doctor\u2019s people and a race called the Daleks,\u201d explained Michael, \u201cthe Doctor locked onto a distress signal. It turned out the supposed Last of the Daleks sent it and it brought them into contact. The Doctor was in a period of extreme self-loathing because she thought she killed everyone. Seeing the Dalek sparked a rage in her, him actually, and became determined to make the Daleks extinct.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, how did she kill it back then?\u201d asked Woz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI didn\u2019t,\u201d answered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat?\u201d quizzed Woz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLike Michael said, the Dalek absorbed some of Rose\u2019s genetic material to regenerate itself,\u201d explained the Doctor, \u201cbut it absorbed more than that. It absorbed a bit of humanity from her, making itself believe it was contaminated. It couldn\u2019t live like that, so it killed itself.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDoctor, it exploded!\u201d insisted Michael. He then activated his comms. \u201cRusty, could you…\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBring her to me!\u201d barked a voice. It sounded like the Rose Clone, but hatred laced the voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201c…Bring who to you?\u201d I asked, finally contributing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe Oncoming Storm!\u201d came the reply. \u201cBring her to me!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWe can talk about…\u201d Batman offered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere will be no talking!\u201d roared the Rose Clone. \u201cKa Faraq Gatri <\/em>is behind this, I know it! The traitor to the Daleks is my prisoner! If the Predator is not within my sight, I will exterminate her! NOW BRING! THE DOCTOR! TO ME!\u201d That word cinched it. Only a Dalek would threaten extermination. We hurried along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSougo, Woz,\u201d I suggested, \u201cbetter transform.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood idea,\u201d replied Sougo. He brought out his Ziku Driver as Woz got his belt, the BeyonDriver, a black belt with a screen on the front and a green handle with a slot in it for the transformation trinket. Speaking of, the two men got their respective Ridewatch, or Miridewatch, in Woz\u2019s case, while Michael and I got our i.d tags out. Sougo turned the Ridewatch\u2019s face until it formed his helmet and pressed the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cZi-O!\u201d it announced. Woz just pressed the button on his Miridewatch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWoz!\u201d it called. The two then inserted their respective trinkets into the slots on their belts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAction!\u201d cheered the BeyonDriver as the Miridewatch opened. It then started playing snappy techno music while Sougo pressed the button on top and tilted the Driver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHenshin!\u201d we all called. Woz pushed the handle with the Miridewatch to the BeyonDriver\u2019s side, making it project his Rider form\u2019s helmet onto the screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTouei!\u201d (Projecting!) it called. \u201cFuture Time! Sugoi! Jidai! Mirai! (Amazing! Time! Future!) Kamen Rider Woz! WOZ!!\u201d Woz then became Kamen Rider Woz. Zi-O spun his Driver until it stopped and rang the bell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRider Time!\u201d it announced. \u201cKamen Rider Zi-O!\u201d His suit formed as did mine and Michael\u2019s. We arrived outside the Observation Deck. The Doctor led us through as she leveled her Sonic Screwdriver at the Rose Clone. The Rose Clone had taken Rusty\u2019s gunstick out of the socket in her left forearm and was holding it at her while her hand was at the back of Rusty\u2019s neck. She looked extremely angry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHello again, Metaltron,\u201d greeted the Doctor coldly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDon\u2019t call me that!\u201d snapped the Rose Clone. \u201cThat was what Van Statten did! You, on the other hand, you did THIS to me, didn\u2019t you?! You made me into a clone of your pink and yellow companion!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI didn\u2019t do anything, Metaltron,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cI thought you chose death.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHow?!\u201d wailed the newly dubbed Metaltron. \u201cHOW DID THIS HAPPEN?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNow that I have more data surrounding this, I have a theory,\u201d answered the Doctor. \u201cYour casing must not have been fully repaired to restore ALL functions. It somehow mixed the self-destruct mechanism with the emergency temporal shift programs. It destroyed your casing and a good chunk of you. It sent you through the Void until you somehow happened upon a path to the Rift and took it. The energies must have restored you into looking like Rose, thinking that the human DNA you absorbed was the default. Somehow, your mind was carried along for the ride.\u201d Metaltron\u2019s face contorted into further anger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThis is all YOUR fault!\u201d she accused. \u201cI was ready to embrace oblivion, but YOU had to interfere! You\u2019ve always been the one to hold the Daleks back, you AND the Time Lords! And now, since our coming back, you infected this one,\u201d she indicated her hostage, \u201cwith the notion of Daleks NOT being supreme! You\u2019ve destroyed her pure soul with the idea that life needs diversity to have any value! You…!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cLet her go, Metaltron!\u201d interrupted the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSTOP CALLING ME THAT!\u201d roared Metaltron. \u201cDALEKS HAVE NO NEED OF NAMES! YOU ARE NOT WORTHY OF SPEAKING THE WORD OF DALEK! ALL INFERIOR CREATURES SHOULD BE PROSTRATING THEMSELVES BEFORE US! YOU SHOULD BE BEGGING ME FOR YOUR LIFE! INSTEAD, I WILL FINALLY COMPLETE THE DALEKS\u2019 GOAL OF EXTERMINATING YOU AND EVERYONE YOU EVER…!\u201d Rusty ran her elbow into Metaltron\u2019s gut and retrieved her gunstick, inserting it back into the slot. We got ready for a fight as Metaltron charged at us, her fists swinging wildly. She was acting on blind rage, so there was no form to her movements. We were just about to overpower her when someone pushed us aside and got Metaltron free. It was Caan! \u201cRELEASE ME, MONSTER!\u201d screamed Metaltron. \u201cI MAY BE IN AN IMPURE STATE, BUT YOU ARE NOT FIT TO…!\u201d She was interrupted as Caan pressed his thumb and pointer finger to her temples and seemed to induce something painful for two seconds. She gasped once the treatment ended. \u201c…I thought you were a Time War myth!\u201d she breathed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, we were tasked with the survival of the Dalek species,\u201d replied Caan. \u201cSec tried to change us but we stopped that nonsense real quick. Now, like you, I exist in a corrupted form. It DOES have its uses, though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat were you doing outside of After Academy?!\u201d I demanded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI needed to look something up,\u201d explained Caan, \u201cspecifically, the creation of Gaia Memories and Ridewatches. I was denied this by Alesandro. I was about ready to destroy the school then and there, but then I realized there was another library, the Gaia Library. I completed my research there and recreated the Dalek Memory.\u201d He revealed the Memory from his coat and pressed the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDALEK!\u201d it announced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cSo, what, you intend to recreate the Dalek Dopant through Metaltron?\u201d I snarled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNo, she doesn\u2019t have the necessary connection to safely access that power,\u201d answered Caan. \u201cHowever, an Another Ridewatch doesn\u2019t need that kind of equipment.\u201d He pulled out a purple Ridewatch with a monstrous version of my helmet on it and pressed the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRoyal!\u201d it called in a distorted voice. Caan then jammed the Ridewatch into Metaltron\u2019s stomach, making her gasp in pain before a dark cloud surrounded her. \u201cRoyal!\u201d repeated the voice as Metaltron turned into a monstrous version of me! Where the mouth guard was, two mouths rested there, a demonic sawblade replaced the wheel of my Vortex Driver, she had a tattered cape and skirt, the crown was rusty looking, and the word Royal was on her left arm while the year 2017 was on her right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBehold, Another Royal,\u201d chuckled Caan. Another Royal then struck the same ready pose I usually do. We both attacked each other, matching one another blow for blow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWaga Ma\u014d,\u201d suggested Woz, \u201cI believe now\u2019s a good time to test out the new Ridewatch.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGood idea!\u201d praised Zi-O. He then rotated the Royal Ridewatch until it formed my face and pressed the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRoyal!\u201d it called. He then put it into the left slot and pressed the button on the belt, tilting it. He spun the belt until it stopped and rang the bell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRider Time!\u201d it called. \u201cKamen Rider Zi-O! Armor Time!\u201d Armor evoking me then appeared and attached itself to Zi-O while the Rider Katakana was replaced with \u201cRoyal\u201d (\u30ed\u30a4\u30e4\u30eb). \u201cFinal Attack! Royal!\u201d sang the Ridewatch. Woz gave a little giggle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat are you laughing about?\u201d asked Zi-O. Another Royal and I stifled a giggle too. \u201cYou too?!\u201d protested Zi-O. \u201cStop that! Look, Woz, would you just rejoice already?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cVery well, Waga Ma\u014d,\u201d chuckled Woz before he cleared his throat and began. \u201cIwae! Zen Rider no chikara o uketsugi, jik\u016b o koe kako to mirai o shiroshimesu toki no \u014dja. Sono na mo Kamen Rider Zi-O: Royal Armor! (Rejoice! The one to inherit all Rider powers, the time king who will rule over the past and the future. And his name is Kamen Rider Zi-O: Royal Armor!) …This is the day where we find out you look good in a skirt, Waga Ma\u014d!\u201d We couldn\u2019t hold back any longer. Zi-O looked down to see that, below the Ziku Driver, he was wearing my skirt! We all laughed at him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIt\u2019s not a skirt, it\u2019s a kilt!\u201d argued Zi-O.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cTake it from me, THAT\u2019S a skirt!\u201d I laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh, get out of the way!\u201d snapped Zi-O as he shoved me aside. I overlooked his rudeness just this once as he started fighting Another Royal. She summoned a demonic looking version of my weapon. I joined in and we continued the fight. Another Royal was keeping us at bay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOkay, we need to finish this quickly,\u201d I declared. I took out my i.d. tag and inserted it into my blade. Zi-O pressed the buttons on the two Ridewatches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFinish Time! Royal!\u201d called the belt. He spun the belt, making it ring the bell. \u201cSteel Time Break!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cFinal Attack!\u201d announced my sword.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cRIDER ROYAL SLASH!\u201d I shouted as I swung the blade sideways. Zi-O leapt into the air and performed a Rider Kick. The attacks hit Another Royal and forced her to return to being Metaltron. The Another Ridewatch exploded, rendering it useless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOh well,\u201d sighed Caan as he picked up the unconscious Metaltron. \u201cBest make another Gaia Memory using Rider.\u201d He summoned a portal. \u201cWe WILL meet again when Vortech returns,\u201d he warned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhat are you talking about?!\u201d I yelped. \u201cThe Rift Loop collapsed! Vortech\u2019s dead!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cNot what I see,\u201d remarked Caan. \u201cI see you fighting Vortech again. You, a red robot, and a black kitsune. Farewell. Try to survive tomorrow.\u201d He went through the portal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCOME BACK!\u201d I demanded. Too late. The portal closed. I sighed in frustration and powered down. I REALLY didn\u2019t want to be chasing after someone new. Still, at least the Sources were safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u201cI…I…\u201d stammered X-PO. \u201cX-PO, is any of that true?\u201d I asked.
