Back on top of the building, Suzuka sees the growing sphere. A burning sensation fills her body.
"This feeling, what does it mean? What is it telling me to do?"
Fourteen: It's the world telling you to take action. This is your duty as a Catalyst. Normally, you're just supposed to subtly guide the world but a desperate situation has occurred. We have to intervene.
"Can I really stop that thing? I don't even know what I'm capable of."
"Don't worry. I'll help you out."
[Meanwhile]
Hoji: They always end up changing the plan midway. Still, nice to always have a plan B.
He jumps to another building and takes out his phone. He then scans the sphere.
[Composition: 99% Negative energy, .7% Lifeform, .3% trace matter.] [Size is growing on an exponential scale. Calculation in progress...... Unless stopped, planet designated "Undead" will be consumed within two hours, 3 minutes.]
"Well, that's interesting."
Kiba and Trigger have made it to the roof. Trigger hesitates in shock.
"Crap!! He's already reached phase 2!! What the hell happened up here?!"
"You know how to stop this thing?!"
"I have an idea, at least."
[Inside the sphere]
Ikkyu is slowly waking up. He looks at his left arm and the driver is not there.
"It's gone. I can finally be me again."
[At Society HQ]
Backlash from the damaged driver begins racing through the Prophet.
"This is......unexpected. The driver was damaged to these levels?"
"Milady, you have to break the mental bond to the device! You've never handled this much power before."
"Our master has granted me this gift; I will not disappoint."
[Sphere]
"I can see my friends found you. Axel, thanks for not giving up on me. Let's try to find a way out of this thing."
As they move forward, an ominous presence rips through them. They turn to see the Reverse armor fully intact. It begins heading towards them.

Kiba: So how do we stop this thing?
Masaru: Theoretically, enough energy sent directly through this thing will destabilize it, forcing it to fall apart. That's why we need Hajime. You know how to work the cards, right?
"Yeah. Let's do this."
He passes two cards through the scanner on top of his gun.
(Remote)-(Joker)
He fires and Joker materializes. He looks around for a bit and sighs heavily.
"Of course. The only time people want to admit I even exist is when the bull hits the fan."
[Meanwhile]
Hoji: Mmmm. This is weird. The Prophet or the general didn't tell me about this. Of course, I could have just been out cold at the time.
He hears footsteps behind him and turns to see a damaged Stealth.
"Hey 28. Long time no see, huh?"
"You know how to stop this don't you?"
"Dude, I'm just as much in the dark as you on this. I only came here to get the girl, but apparently that plan's been thrown out the window. I'm just here to watch the fireworks at this point."
"So an entire world's people, their hopes, dreams and beliefs, are about to be consumed by oblivion and you'd stand by and watch?"
"You do know who raised me, right? The death of a world means nothing to me anymore. I'd gladly watch it all decay."
"You're either the most sadistic or selfish person I've met."
"Bit of column A, bit of column B way I see it. And besides, anything short of a miracle isn't destroying that thing."
"Well then, if its all going to end, I'll at least deny you the enjoyment of seeing it happen."
He activates the Kaixa gear and speaks into the phone.
"Side Bassher, Battle Mode."
The bipedal machine jumps out of a rift and lands next to Fuyuki.
[Inside the sphere]
Prophet: So despite all odds, you continue to hold on to a non-existent hope. The logic of fools, indeed. I cannot allow this hubris; you mustn't be allowed to interfere. But then again, how can you stop me? I am strongest in this environment and all I have to fight is a child who thinks he can save the worlds with pretty words and a powerless idealist.
Ikkyu: Not entirely. If you remember correctly, you're not the only one who can manipulate dark energy.
He begins absorbing a bit of the energy around him and takes on his original form.
"It has been so long since you've shown your true colors, Ikkyu. Or rather, Panther Lord."
[Society HQ]
Tremor: This is going to end badly, I can just feel it. It's time to put the final plan into action. They've pushed us to the breaking point, so we've only got one chance:
The Third Civil War must be instigated.

"Hajime, we need you to unload all the power you've got into this thing."
"What is it, though?"
"Pure negative energy. If it keeps growing, it'll absorb the entire planet. We need to overload it before it gets too strong."
"You know this place has done nothing but shun me. Why should I help it after everything they've done to me?"
"Because those four are waiting for you."
"......Alright."
He begins firing a large green beam into the sphere.
[Inside]
Ikkyu is currently fighting Reverse. Although fighting with all his strength, the Prophet is easily holding him off.
"The freedom you thought you wanted has simply proven how weak you are. You pose no more threat to me in this state than a stiff breeze. Vanish from my sight."
Reverse lifts its hand and a large cone of black energy erupts from it. The pendant the begins acting as a shield to the blow.
The Prophet then sees the two riders in the sphere and the slow energy seeping into it.
"It would have been folly to assume this would have gone easily, so I prepared accordingly."
[ATTACK RIDE: DAIKAIJIN] [KAIJIN RIDE: ARMS RACE: GARURU] [KAMEN RIDE: FEMME]
The two materialize from the darkness.
"Impossible!! How can Reverse summon riders?!"
"It was a new feature we didn't tell you about for fear of you growing arrogant. This unit can summon any system used by a Kaijin or uses the power of one."
[Outside]
"Keep it up, man. I think you've almost broken through."
A loud rumbling sound is heard and the casino begins shaking.
"CHUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!"
"OH SON OF A-!!"
The giant Kaijin rises from the earth.
"Sorry, but where I'm from we don't die that easy!"
He then punches through the building destroying the top floors and sending Delta, Garren, and Joker plummeting towards the ground.
"Damn it! It'll take too long to summon Sliger and we don't have the Peacock's card!!"
[Inside]
"That's two problems taken care of. Now for you."
Ikkyu is struggling to keep the attack at bay.
"Do you honestly think such paltry light is enough to best me? Allow me to show you the true depths of my power."
She begins pouring it on. The attack cracks the pendant and blasts him out of the sphere and sends him flying. The broken pendant lies floating in the darkness.
[Building]
"What the hell just happened?"
"It's quite simple, Fuyu-kun. You see, after losing to the riders twice, we decided to look into Kaijin from riderless worlds. We noticed that on these worlds they had two lives; once one was used up, they could come back in spades, determined to stay in the world. We decided on a tactic you couldn't see coming."
"Why are you so bent on activating Genesis?!"
"You know the rules. The First Being requires his sacrifice every now and then. This should keep him sated for a few months."
"I don't wanna hear you rationalize this!"
[Cluster Missile]
Side Bassher fires off four large missiles which reveal a multitude of smaller rockets.
"Heh. You been gone for a while, dude. I've learned some new tricks."
He touches his neck.
:Wolf:
The memory subset activates and boosts his senses dramatically. He then crosses the field of missiles, jumping on them towards Fuyuki.
"And for my next trick!"
He presses the band on his right arm.
:Mammoth:
He punches the top of the mech, bringing it to the ground.

The two finishers plow into Reverse. When the smoke clears, the unit is heavily damaged. A soft chuckling is heard from it.
"Even after all this, you don't realize. This place gives me strength unimaginable. Watch."
It raises its mangled driver and begins absorbing some of the dark energy around it. The suit begins slowly reforming.
[Outside]
Chuupid is taking the castle's shots but they aren't doing anything to him.
"Sorry, but those petty little attacks won't do anything to me when I'm like this. But mine, however, will destroy every last trace of you."
He takes out his bowgun and begins charging a massive amount of crimson energy.
"Bye now! Cataclysm Arr-"
Before he can unleash his attack he is rammed by Fourteen's giant form.
Hajime: Albino's still alive?!
Fourteen: This isn't the time, Deuce. You have to stop the sphere! I'll take care of him!
The castle begins flying back to the site.
[Inside]
"This is the chance I've been waiting for!"
Reverse turns towards the voice to only be punched by Kenta.
"Hm, you're new. How amusing; a machine trying to stop me. This couldn't be in your protocols."
"Screw that! You're trying to kill this world and I'm supposed to stand idly by?!"
"You've been ruined. Giving a robot emotions is dooming him to constantly question his actions, destroying his effectiveness."
"Shut your mouth!"
He tries to punch the suit again but it grabs his hand before it lands.
"A broken tool is useless."
[ATTACK RIDE: DISCHARGE]
Black lightning begins running through Kenta's body. The attack heavily damages his systems.
"You will be the only one to survive Genesis. You shall become the messenger of our power."
A sly smile cracks on his face.
"Really, huh? Did you count on falling into a trap?"
"What?!"
He grabs onto the Reverse armor as hard as he can.
"NEMESIS GRENADE, ACTIVE!!"
His body begins glowing and releases a massive amount of energy. The resulting explosion bursts through the top of the sphere.

[Society HQ]
Black energy begins tearing through the Prophet.
"Milady, please! We can't lose you! The system isn't worth it! It's beginning to absorb your body!"
"I cannot stop now, not when we're this close. And even if I fail, the First Being will find a new avatar. It's time I took the field personally."
Her body begins fading into dark energy.
"If I do not return, initiate the next phase."
She completely disappears and Tremor is left dumbstruck.
"Why is she so willing to go through with this? It's a suicide mission."
[Sphere]
A heavily damaged Kenta is floating in the sphere. Many of his major systems have shut down.
Thinking: It cost me everything but I stopped it. Curly, I'm sorry. I'm not gonna be able to make it home.
The Prophet begins slowly reforming in the sphere. She is now wearing the ReverDriver.
"Impossible...that should have wiped you out of existence."
"My tenacity knows no bounds, machine. Know the end of days."
She slowly levitates out of the sphere and lands in the rubble below it.
"The time is now."
[FINAL RIDE: GENESIS]
[Meanwhile]
Ikkyu awakens to see Axel and Tetsuya. He gets up shakily.
"We have to keep going. If she actually activates it......"
He looks up to the sphere and sees it begin glowing.
"CRAP, WE'RE TOO LATE!!"
[Rooftop]
"Well, it looks like my time is up here. I was hoping we'd get to finish our fight but I guess we'll have to save it for later. Bye, fox boy."
He jumps off the side of the building and a rift opens up underneath him. He falls in and it closes.
Fuyuki is trying to start Basshar but the mech is totaled.
"This is seriously bad. If what Myuuki told me is true, we have to get off this world."
