The device then created a belt around him. He then pulled out a card as he opened the device. \u201cHenshin!\u201d he said. He then slid the card into the device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKamen Ride!\u201d it announced. He then closed the device. \u201cDecade!\u201d Armor then appeared around him. It was magenta and his helmet looked like cards with green eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKamen Rider Decade,\u201d said the Doctor. Plas-Keito then put his strange watch device to his waist. It entered him, surrounding him in dark energy, then he turned into a monstrous creature that vaguely was modeled after a red and black digital watch with teeth and horrid eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGEIZ!\u201d came the demonic voice. On the shoulder was \u201cGeiz 2068\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnother Geiz, huh?\u201d scoffed Decade. \u201cShouldn\u2019t be too much trouble.\u201d The two then fought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou don\u2019t possess the Geiz Ridewatch,\u201d said Another Geiz. \u201cYou cannot defeat me now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo, but I bought time,\u201d replied Decade. Another Geiz then noticed that the Doctor and her crew were gone, along with the control sphere!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cLocate and destroy thieves!\u201d ordered Another Geiz. \u201cDestroy Enemy Autons as well!\u201d Decade went off in pursuit of the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The TARDIS crew ran as fast as they could, but then more Autons approached, led by someone in gray robes and a scarf. \u201cControl Unit located,\u201d he said as he pulled out a device like Another Geiz\u2019s! \u201cDestroy. Total destruction.\u201d He pressed the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWoz!\u201d said a demonic voice. He then put the device to his waist and, like Another Geiz, he was surrounded by dark energy. The energy dissipated to reveal a monstrous white and green-trimmed monster with teeth and horrid eyes, modeled after a smart-watch. \u201cWOZ!\u201d This one had the words \u201cWoz 0000\u201d on his thigh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnother one?!\u201d asked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s going on here?!\u201d asked Rassilon. \u201cHow did the Nestene Consciousness get ahold of temporal compression technology?!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI have theories, none of them are good,\u201d replied the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHey! Another Woz!\u201d called a voice. Everyone turned to see another high-school boy. \u201cYou leave them alone!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTarget: Tokiwa Sougo,\u201d droned the Auton Commander known as Another Woz. \u201cEliminate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t think so! Those people are too important!\u201d retorted the kid, Sougo. He then pulled out yet another device!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNo! Kid! That\u2019s dangerous!\u201d urged the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry, Ma\u2019am,\u201d assured Sougo. \u201cI have a feeling it will work out!\u201d He then rotated the face of the device and attached another machine with a slot on either side to his waist. It formed a belt strap like Decade\u2019s. Sougo then pressed the button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cZi-O!\u201d announced a more normal voice. Sougo then inserted the circular device into the right hand slot, then pressed a button on the belt. The belt tilted so the attached device went down. Sougo then posed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHENSHIN!\u201d he called. He then spun the belt and it rotated once until it returned to its horizontal position.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cRider Time!\u201d it called. It then sang \u201cKamen Rider Zi-O!\u201d Armor then appeared over him. It was dark blue gray with a wristwatch theme. The helmet looked like an analog watch with the kanji for \u201cRider\u201d in the middle of the clock face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026A Kamen Rider using temporal compression technology?! But that\u2019s impossible!\u201d said the Doctor. \u201c\u2026Unless\u2026of course! The device and belt were meant to be paired!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou guys get out of here!\u201d called Sougo, now Kamen Rider Zi-O. \u201cI\u2019ll handle Another Woz and his dummies!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut Decade\u2019s fighting Another Geiz and his Autons!\u201d protested Rassilon. Speaking of Decade, he arrived on his motorcycle, modeled after his helmet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEveryone, get ready for transit!\u201d he called. Another Geiz and his Autons arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEnemy Commander!\u201d he called when he spotted Another Woz. The two Another Riders then fought each other.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat the-?!\u201d The Doctor\u2019s question was cut off as a curtain of gray energy swallowed them up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The group arrived at an abandoned warehouse. The two Kamen Riders cancelled their transformations and resumed their civilian identities. \u201cSorry for the Aurora Curtain, but we had to make our escape,\u201d explained Tsukasa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDon\u2019t worry,\u201d said Sougo, \u201cthis place was cleared a while ago.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThen, perhaps,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201csomeone could kindly explain why two Auton Commanders attacked one another?! The Nestene Consciousness won\u2019t allow Autons to fight Autons!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s no Nestene Consciousness controlling them, Doctor,\u201d replied Tsukasa. \u201cThey activated after the passing of the Nestene, when we both dealt with them in 2013.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Those Autons,\u201d said the Doctor, \u201care acting independently?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe signal never fully cut out in 2013, Doctor. It\u2019s been slowly building power since we shut it down beneath Tokyo Tower.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Then I wasn\u2019t as thorough as I thought. And now the Autons have control over temporal compression technology.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cDoctor, what IS temporal compression technology?\u201d asked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m a bit lost in the Time Vortex here myself,\u201d admitted Amy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTemporal compression technology,\u201d explained Rassilon, \u201csteals timelines and historical events around a certain person, putting it all into one device, creating a harmful causal loop, a Bootstrap Paradox, if you will.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cUnless, of course, you\u2019re a time traveler yourself,\u201d said the Doctor. \u201cIf you make a device based on YOUR history, your power, theoretically, is amplified, but it would cause damage to your body and cause a time paradox that would rend you and all you love asunder\u2026unless you had something to handle and correct the paradox, such as Sougo\u2019s belt. Sougo, where did you get that belt?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt came to me from an old future version of me where I became a king of time known as Ohma Zi-O,\u201d replied Sougo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOhma Zi-O?\u201d asked Rassilon. \u201c\u2026I think I tried to recruit him for the Time War. He refused and sent me and my soldiers away.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cServes you right, frankly,\u201d remarked the Doctor. \u201cSo, it\u2019s a paradox that eventually erased him\u2026but the technology can be made in the present.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo how did the Autons find that tech?\u201d asked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Autons would have to keep the people they copied alive so they could access the twisted powers of their Rider forms,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201c\u2026And there\u2019s a massive paradox right now. Those Another Riders shouldn\u2019t exist, yet they are.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cTherein lies why we\u2019re here,\u201d said Tsukasa. \u201cDoctor, we need you to take us back to 2013 and eliminate the Nestene Consciousness utterly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOut of the question!\u201d barked Rassilon. \u201cThat\u2019s against the laws of time!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI already looked into the past with my Time Mazine,\u201d said Sougo. \u201cThere\u2019s too much damage to the timeline there thanks to the original Geiz and Woz being captured. That\u2019s why the Autons are independent.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd they know that one of their Control Units,\u201d said Tsukasa, \u201cis a segment of the Key to Time.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026So they\u2019ll try to use its latent chronon field to become the new Lords of Time, but one has to become the new Nestene Consciousness, hence the Auton civil war,\u201d theorized the Doctor. Her brow furrowed in thought.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Doctor?\u201d asked Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026Tsukasa, you\u2019ll need to help me retrieve the TARDIS,\u201d said the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s in Tokyo Tower, one of the lower levels,\u201d replied Tsukasa. \u201cSo, you\u2019re going to help us?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201c\u2026It looks that way,\u201d muttered the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The group made its way to Tokyo Tower with Tsukasa disguised as an employee there. He flashed his badge to the guards and explained the situation. The guards nodded and let them through. He led them down to the lower levels where a cauldron stood. It looked like it could hold something. Nearby\u2026was the TARDIS! \u201cThere she is!\u201d called the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHalt!\u201d called Another Geiz\u2019s voice. He and his Autons arrived. \u201cThe Control Unit. You will not be asked again.\u201d Just then, everyone heard muffled voices. William turned to see what looked like Plas-Keito and the Woz Duplicate tied up and gagged. They were mumbling something. William first headed over and pinched their cheeks, confirming they were real. The two protested through their gags.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cHad to make sure you weren\u2019t plastic,\u201d he said as he untied them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMove away from them!\u201d called Another Woz\u2019s voice. William didn\u2019t listen and freed the real Keito. Just as Another Woz was about to grab him, Keito decked the monstrous Kamen Rider. He then reached for something as William freed the real Woz.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cNO!\u201d called the Doctor. \u201cNot now! Quick! Into the TARDIS!\u201d Everyone dashed into the time machine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>The Ridewatch using Riders goggled in surprise. Tsukasa, on the other hand, just looked around with mild interest. \u201cYou\u2019ve redecorated,\u201d he said. \u201c\u2026I don\u2019t like it.\u201d The TARDIS then rocked, causing everyone to fall to the floor or hold onto something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?!\u201d yelped Sougo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe Autons are firing on the TARDIS,\u201d replied the Doctor. \u201cThat\u2019s the trouble with encountering a race that hates your guts!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBut the TARDIS is indestructible!\u201d argued Amy. \u201cYou said so yourself!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI said it was VIRTUALLY indestructible!\u201d countered the Doctor. \u201cI think the Autons are taking advantage of the temporal com\u2026the Ridewatches!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat do you mean?!\u201d asked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey\u2019re using the paradoxical energy to weaken the TARDIS shields!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThat kind of temporal stress will crack the outer shell!\u201d yelped Rassilon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAnd collapse the internal dimensions!\u201d finished the Doctor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAn implosion with us inside?!\u201d asked William.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cA violent one!\u201d confirmed the Doctor as she worked the console feverishly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201c\u2026Temporal compression technology!\u201d whispered the Doctor. \u201cBut\u2026how?!\u201d asked Rassilon. \u201cYou\u2019ll get your explanations later,\u201d replied Tsukasa. \u201cRight now, we need to get you to safety.\u201d He pulled out a strange device, then put it to his waist.
