Rating: G
Summary: Side story to Rippled Dimensions. Kaito looked back towards the past, when he had first met Tsukasa for the first time.
--------------------------
“Are you all right...?”
Tsukasa slowly opened his eyes to find several villagers surrounding him. He jumped, before relaxing as one of them started to check on him.
“What happened to you, lad?”
“I...” Tsukasa stopped himself as he started to ask the old man where he was. He recalled faintly what Daiki used to tell him in the past. The people in his world had mostly been brainwashed so that they would behave very nicely to each other, assuming an illusion of peace and order. If there was anyone even showing themselves slightly different than the rest of them, that would raise some suspicion. He definitely would not be able to ask them if they know where he could find Daiki...
Tsukasa shook his head. “It’s nothing. I guess somehow earlier... I must have tripped on myself.”
The old man seemed satisfied with his answer as Tsukasa felt for the Diendriver he had hidden under his shirt. Thank goodness! It was still there. If these people found it while he was still unconscious, that could spell bad luck.
“Err... thanks. I guess... I better head home. My sister would worry...” he said again as he slipped in a lie. He needed to leave here as soon as possible!
The rest of the villagers started to leave as the old man remained. “Why don’t you come to my house for a bit, lad? Drink a bit of tea to regain your strength.”
Tsukasa shrugged. “I guess I should. Thank you.”

Tsukasa hastily made his way towards the abandoned building as he recalled the place where he had first stumbled into Daiki. He glanced around to make sure he was not being followed before started calling for Daiki.
To his relief, his friend was still there. But before he could truly relax, Tsukasa felt all of his senses left his body as he saw the man appearing behind Daiki.
“Tsukasa? Why are you standing there? I thought you were already-and I thought you were wearing a different coat?”
Tsukasa immediately pull out the Diendriver and the Blast card, before inserting it into the driver’s card slot. “Daiki, duck!”
The other man ducked hastily before Tsukasa started shooting at the man in front of him. Daiki started shouting at him before looking around to realize the situation.
There were TWO Tsukasa!

Both of them ran towards the cove as the other Tsukasa chased them right behind.
“Eh wait! Tsukasa! What’s the meaning of this? Why there were two of you?” Kaito asked as Tsukasa let out several more shots at the man behind them.
“That guy... Nega World!”, Tsukasa manage to gasp before hearing the dreaded sound of the other him transforming into Decade. He cried out in alarm before pushing Kaito, along with the Diendriver to the side as he caught sight of Decade using the Clock Up card.
“Tsu-!” Kaito cried out just as Tsukasa was thrown aback, being slashed by the other Decade who just suddenly appeared in front of them. Tsukasa jumped to the side before barely missing the attack meant to kill him.
Tsukasa coughed, as he found it a bit hard to breath.
“Tch! How unfortunate, Tsukasa-kun. If only you haven’t regained your senses. Now perhaps, I could finally take your place and rule the universe!”
Tsukasa snickered bitterly, hearing the same voice as his own coming from the man before him. “Like hell I’d allow that! Before I let you kill me and destroy everything else, I’ll kill you first!”
“Hah! Brave words! Too bad it was nothing but a bluff!” said the other Decade before he pulled out his K-Touch and transformed into Decade Ultimate form. Tsukasa swore to himself as he tried to get away from him. Decade pulled him back by the scuff of his jacket before sending a blow towards him.
“Leave Tsukasa alone!” Kaito suddenly shouted as he tried to stop the evil Kamen Rider before getting thrown away in a single kick.
“You have nothing to do with this! Stay out or be killed by me.”
“As if I’d allow that!” Tsukasa shouted back as he regained his strength and charged on his other self with a burst of energy. The other Decade fell as Tsukasa called out to Kaito. “Daiki! That Diendriver!” he called out as Decade got up and delivered another blow towards Tsukasa. Tsukasa collapsed to the ground.
Kaito immediately scrambled towards the spot where he had left the Diendriver and the cards and picked them up. He returned with much urgency, as to his alarm he saw that Tsukasa was nearly at the edge of death.
“No, Tsukasa!” he shouted before using the Diendriver to shoot Decade Ultimate form.

“Aah!” cried his other self as Tsukasa lurched to catch the Ride Booker Sword before counter attacking his attacker. Tsukasa spared no moment as he attacked a few times, managing to wrestle the K-Touch from his other self before jumping to the side. Decade cursed at him as Tsukasa sent the K-Touch into another dimension.
Tsukasa laughed. “Now you lost one ability.”
“As if! You don’t have your Decadriver!”
“But I have this!” Tsukasa raised his sword as both of them continued to fight. Kaito could only stand and watch as the two sent out blows after blows to each other without fail, not allowing one to get the better of the other. He pointed the gun towards the two, hesitating to fire the weapon for fear of hitting his friend.
And then he saw how Tsukasa managed to slash away at Decade’s rider belt, canceling the other’s transformation. Kaito started running towards them to help his friend.

Tsukasa felt his world started to waver as his other self sent a blow to the side of his face. He staggered towards the beach as his eyes desperately scour around him to search for the sword he had dropped earlier. Another kick in the stomach as Tsukasa collapsed again.
He really was going to die at this rate! Tsukasa looked up, just in time to see the blur that was Kaito-hurtling himself towards the other him as his friend shouted towards him.
“Go! Run, you idiot! Don't die on me!” Kaito's cries sounded like it came from a far distance. But instead of running, Tsukasa continued looking around for the fallen sword. He saw the his other self's Decadriver as he kicked it further into the sea.
To his relief, he finally caught sight of the Ride Booker. He picked it up before turning around.
“Daiki! Get away from him! I'll finish him once and for all!”
Kaito took a glimpse of him before shouting back. “Are you an idiot?” But it seemed that was a bad move as the other Tsukasa gave him a hard kick to the chest, sending Kaito sprawling to the ground.
The Nega-Tsukasa charged back towards Tsukasa as both of them faced off. Kaito looked up as he watched Tsukasa turn the odds around by madly attacking the other to his knees. When Tsukasa managed to pierce the other's stomach with the sword, he thought it was finally over. Just then the injured man pulled out the sword piercing his body before swinging it towards Tsukasa. Kaito cried out as he saw blood on Tsukasa's forehead.
The other Tsukasa chuckled at the end result before retreating into another dimension. Kaito dragged himself off the ground to run towards Tsukasa, as Tsukasa swayed on his feet... before collapsing onto the sea.
“Tsukasa!” he shouted again before kneeling down to pick his friend up. Tsukasa choked in attempt to laugh his concerns away.
“Sorry... I thought, I'd just give you the Diendriver... didn't expect-”
“Shh... you idiot, save your breath.” Kaito said quickly as he tried to tear out his sleeve so that he could wrap it around Tsukasa's forehead.
But Tsukasa didn't want to stay quiet as he continued. “In the card case... there's a Diend card. Use that to become... Diend... you can save... your brother-”
Kaito hissed at him. “Shut up! Who cares about that now?” he shouted. But without warning, a strange invisible wall appeared in front of him and swept over them. When Kaito looked down again, Tsukasa was no more...

He did not remember how long had he remained at the edge of the shore, still in shock over the disappearance of his friend. Yet, he willed himelf not to cry. Tsukasa did not die, he kept telling himself over and over, not wanting to even imagine that his friend could have died that way. And for what?
To bring back a treasure that he could use to save his brother? What kind of joke was that?
Kaito cradled the Diendriver to his chest before standing up, having made his decision. It was still too early. Even if he now possessed a weapon that he could use to fight against Fourteen, chances for him to survive was still uncertain. He would still need to learn to use this power, he needed also to find more allies.
It was then he had decided. He would leave this world and travel across many others that existed beyond his imaginations. During that time he would gather as much treasure that he could get, that he could use in his fight against the Fourteen. And in doing so he would also search for Tsukasa.
Only then, he would-might-return to this world and finally save his brother.
If only Kaito knew what was in store for him in the future...

Okay~ author's note time~
- Half portion of this chapter was on Tsukasa's POV and the other in general POV. You can see from how Daiki being addressed by name.
- I based this chapter on the few brief scenes on the preview after ep 31, (some) which was later was included in Natsumi's dream in the Conclusion act of Movie Taisen 2010.
- The appearance of Tsukasa from the Nega world was my take on why there was another Decade in that scene, which should have fill the hole as to why K-Touch was the treasure of the Nega world. And the fact that Nega-Tsukasa never appeared in that arc and Nega-Otoya looking for Tsukasa to be the new ruler, well... there must have been a reason for that to happen.
That's all~ I hope you enjoyed this chapter~
