Scared Rider Xechs

I'm back, Akira.

Attention, people of the blue world.

We are the residents of the red world, which is your counterpart.

We are the ones that you call Nightfly O'Notes.

Takt?!

Takt!

We have a demand.

Turn over the instructor of the 6th Combat Unit, Akira Asagi.

What the hell is he talking about?!

Turn over Akira?

Do what?

If you do not, we will destroy the blue world.

This is out of mercy. With the combat force that we possess,

it would be a simple matter for us to destroy the blue world.

Readings identified! Invader-types!

There are too many of them to count!

However, we do not desire senseless conflict.

If you turn Akira Asagi over to us,

I promise that we will not interfere with the blue world.

Akira, are you hearing my voice?

I will be waiting for you tomorrow night, at Ryukyu LAG.

If you come, this war will be over.

He vanished.

That bastard!

What is going on here?

Takt...

Hey, this is a put-on, right? Was that seriously Takt?

There's nothing mistakable about that voice. Takt is alive.

He's a Nightfly O'Note?

I don't know what this means.

Takt...

It's a trap. If we turn over the Dirigent,

the blue world will have no chance of beating them.

You don't have to tell me. But is there anything else we can do?

The world is on the brink of panic.

The only reason they're barely holding on is because of hope--

the hope that if we offer up Akira Asagi, they will be spared.

I doubt that the enemy will keep their promise.

We just need this to open negotiations.

She represents our hope, as well.

The red world's forces are overwhelming. If we're to survive,

we have no choice but to start the next "game."

Then you do get it, don't you?

We're just pawns in the game after all--

both the instructor, and the rest of us.

Damn.

Akira...

Takt is up on the moon, there, isn't he?

There is no music in the red world.

I heard that's why Epiphone came to the blue world.

Would he rather be somewhere without any music?

Takt was always right. He always tried to do the right thing.

Slug me one.

To teach me a lesson. I can't forgive myself.

You have to do this, Akira!

To defend the blue world... To defend everyone...!

Thanks to him offering his life, you, I, and the world were saved.

But... is what he is doing now right?

I've been summoned. I have to go.

I'm going to Ryukyu.

A world where someone has to be sacrificed to save it is meaningless.

It's not that.

I just want to see Takt and make sure of his intentions.

Like whether the war will really end.

Let's go, Yosuke. All of us.

Yeah.

Our orders are to deliver the instructor back to Ryukyu LAG.

Are we Okazaki's puppets now?

Please limit your jokes to that pair of glasses, Mr. Amakasu.

It was my decision.

I'm going to go speak to Takt.

You can't, Akira.

Like you can get through to him!

I'm sure I can. After all, it's Takt.

I want to know what Takt's intentions are, too. And then,

I want to bring Takt back.

Yes and right! Takt will always be one of our friends!

He might not think so, though.

If it comes to that, I'll bring him back, if I have to beat him to do it.

And once he's back, then it's punishment time, right?

Yeah. A shiitake party.

Off we go to Ryukyu LAG!

We're back home again at LAG.

The melody of the wind and the surf...

That's the music that Ryukyu plays.

It's warm! This is where I feel most at home, all right!

I think I shall spread my wings, as well.

Ha, you really did spread them.

And good for you, Fer. You've been so depressed this last little while.

You idiot! I have not either been depressed!

Don't go splashing your keyboard again.

This melody is my welcome back.

Yosuke, it's been a while since you cooked bitter melons.

It looks good!

They sure seem pleased with themselves.

This is the last of their free time. Please, go easy on them.

Hmph, make sure you keep them supervised.

Hya-hi-hyu-hyu!

Major news! Guys, come look at this!

Ochazuke! You're all right!

Oh, good for him!

But doesn't he seem smaller now?

Maybe he's wasting away because there's nothing to eat.

You're having a hard time of it too, aren't you?

Oh, no, you see...

There's another one?!

How cute!

Before we knew it, he's become a papa!

This music is for you, Ochazuke Family!

Go on, Hijiri, sing.

Huh?

Come on, Hijiri!

Tajima here.

Situation normal. How are things there? Did you glean anything yet?

About the only thing of note is the director's record collection.

That's no big deal, is it?

No.

What's this?

Where do you think you're going?

Can't you see? I'm getting some water.

Camp time is over. I'm going to tell you what you should be doing.

That's the look. Why don't you reel him--

Why don't you reel in Takt Kirisawa with that look?

Akira!

Hako?!

Impossible. She can't be alive...

Wait!

Wait, Hako!

You're all right!

This is the end of the world-- the boundary with the red world.

Hako...?

I've come for you, Akira.

"5th Combat Unit Instructor Akira Moegi"

We can only save one world.

I'm such a halfwit, it was all I could do to just get Takt.

What do you mean by that?

Given Takt, and the red world, we can save you, Akira. Remember...

...what you know about us, within you.

The 4th, the 3rd... all of the Dirigents that have appeared before... "4th Combat Unit Instructor Akira Yamabuki"

The 4th, the 3rd... all of the Dirigents that have appeared before... "3rd Combat Unit Instructor Akira Mikana"

She was made to take all of this on herself?

What is it?

Bad news, Mr. Amakasu! The instructor has disappeared!

What?!

She just disappeared right before Inspector Okazaki's eyes.

Call everyone together!

Live freely in the red world. Live all that I never got to.

Hako, are you...

Hako...

What's the situation?!

She isn't responding to our repeated calls.
