"Heugh!" You grunt loudly, mustering the last of your strength. Number 2 meets your gaze, then extends a hand towards you. With a final surge of determination, you reach out for it, but your grip falls short. Sensing your struggle, he swiftly extends his hand further, firmly grasping yours. Arcs of energy crackle along his arm, swirling towards you, striking your body, and your arm. At first, you're alarmed, then you realize what he's doing, and just how much this move is going to cost him.
Infusing you with charged nanites, he administers a restorative surge and jolts your senses. Though far from one-hundred percent, Number 2's mere presence fills you with renewed resolve. Pulling you upright, a silent understanding passes between you two, acknowledging your shared goal.
"It seems I took too long," the Other remarks with annoyance, shifting into an aggressive stance. "Doctor Hongo did not create a second Rider, so just who are you?" he challenges Number 2.
"To know me is to know him," Number 2 casually gestures towards you. Responding to his signal, you assume a pose.
"I am Kamen Rider <span class="mu-r">One!</span>"
"Then I, am Kamen Rider <span class="mu-b">Two!</span>" Number 2 proclaims as he joins your side, mirroring your pose. Instantly you are all on the move. Tension rises within you as you begin strafing each other, searching for your next move. Then, as if an invisible countdown expires, the three of you lunge forward. You launch yourself into a flying punch, while Number 2 aims low, targeting the knees. The Other manages to block both strikes, but the pincer attack leaves him vulnerable. Exploiting the opening, you unleash a punishing counterattack aimed at his center, while Number 2 maneuvers to flank him and delivers a powerful vertical chop. The Other is unable to dodge, recoiling towards you. Seizing the opportunity, you seize his head, delivering a series of devastating knee strikes.
"Rragh!" The Other angrily shouts and swipes under your legs, tossing you back onto your back, while he dives sideways, creating new distance.
"Number 1, let's do the thing!" Number 2 calls out, sprinting towards you full force.
<span class="mu-i">The thing?</span>
The thing, that thing, can only mean one thing. Something you've only occasionally thought about in your mind, only to ultimately discard it as an impossible move. Except, now it's not so impossible, is it? You fold your arms out in front of you.
"Right!"
"Toh!"
Number 2 leaps onto your arms, using them as a launchpad. In an explosive burst of power, you propel him skyward, pouring every ounce of strength into the boost. As he ascends, you spring upward, matching his movements with a jump that defies gravity.
"Toh!"
