Knights preparing for battle:
Kamen Rider Glen (Guard), Kamen Rider Raikou, Kamen Rider Ryuki, Kamen Rider Delta, Kamen Rider Kalis, Kamen Rider Rush (Formula), Kamen Rider Wasp, Kamen Rider Steel, Kamen Rider Croz, Kamen Rider End Rider.
Nineteen brave and fearless Kamen Riders formed a powerful expedition team. However, Lu Chen did not belong to this Kamen Rider Association. According to the original plan, the association had not included him. It's worth noting, however, that the association would share all relevant information with any recognized Kamen Rider, regardless of whether they were members.
When Lu Chen learned of this, a strong desire welled up within him. So, without hesitation, he contacted Wen Wanting and expressed his wish to join the expedition team.
Upon receiving Lu Chen's request, Wen Wanting immediately contacted headquarters. Headquarters itself was also curious about this new knight from Z City, especially praising and recognizing his demonstrated ability to summon the final knight. After careful consideration, Wu Pingtian immediately approved Lu Chen's request to join. Thus, Lu Chen became a member of the expedition team as he wished.
When Lu Chen told Li Yuetian and Lin Yue about this, Lin Yue wasn't surprised. It seemed like the hot-blooded, immature kid was about to start his new adventure.
“Lu Chen, in my opinion, you shouldn’t go. I was quite surprised to hear you signed up,” Li Yuetian said. “After all, we’ve only just become Kamen Riders, and our combat experience is nowhere near that of the seniors in the association. Going outside the barrier would be risky; our personal safety wouldn’t be guaranteed!”
"Don't worry, first of all, I can become invisible, and secondly, the association values my summoning ability, so I definitely won't be in the front line of the battle."
"But…"
"No buts, junior! I'm invincible! Hahahaha..."
The three were chatting happily when someone nearby secretly observed them.
This person was undoubtedly Ye Chen. Ever since Lin Yue gave him a good beating last time, he dared not provoke her again and could only hide far away and secretly glance at her. Lin Yue didn't care, as long as the mosquitoes weren't bothering her ears.
However, as a protagonist who is arrogant and domineering, even in his campus life, he is destined to have entanglements with characters like the school beauty.
The school beauty of No. 2 High School was Xiao Chuchu, a second-year student. She was like a heroine in a novel, possessing stunning beauty and a curvaceous figure, with every part of her body perfectly proportioned. Such a peerless beauty naturally attracted Ye Chen's attention.
Of course, a campus beauty like Xiao Chuchu would naturally have countless suitors and admirers. Wang Hao was once one of them, but after witnessing Lin Yue's earth-shattering transformation, he completely gave up and turned to other targets. Thus, he set his sights on Xiao Chuchu.
Just like when he followed Lin Yue last time, Wang Hao brought two henchmen with him this time. The three of them cornered Xiao Chuchu against the wall. At this critical moment, Ye Chen, who was "coincidentally" nearby, appeared like a divine intervention. He swiftly and skillfully subdued Wang Hao and his two henchmen, successfully rescuing Xiao Chuchu. In this critical instant, Ye Chen's bravery and handsome demeanor deeply moved Xiao Chuchu, and a shy smile appeared on her usually cold face.
However, Ye Chen, having successfully won the favor of school beauty Xiao Chuchu, was not satisfied. In his view, what is unattainable is always the most precious and the best. Despite already possessing a beauty like Xiao Chuchu, Ye Chen still couldn't forget Lin Yue deep down. He devoted most of his energy and attention to pursuing Lin Yue, as if only by gaining Lin Yue's approval could he truly prove his charm and worth.
It just goes to show he's a real stud, always wanting more than he has.
Anyway, in the middle of Saturday night, all the members of the expedition team gathered in the suburbs of City A, ready to set off.
Wu Pingtian called out names one by one, and after confirming that everyone was present, he distributed a Bluetooth headset to each person.
"These were prepared for us by the association for easy communication, so please wear them. Once we're outside the barrier, we'll rely on them to communicate," Wu Pingtian said solemnly. "I won't go into the purpose of this operation, as you all already know it! In short, follow orders in all actions, but also try your best to ensure your own safety! After all, you are the hope of the world! I don't want anything to happen to any of you!" Wu Pingtian said from the bottom of his heart.
"Then let's set off and reach the barrier entrance before dawn!"
"Understood!" Everyone said in unison.
"It's quite lively here!"
The sudden male voice startled everyone. Wu Pingtian followed their gaze and saw a crimson knight leaning against a tree, watching them.
"Who are you?" Lin Mu shouted sharply. Several other people also summoned their transformation devices, making the situation somewhat tense.
“I’m just a Kamen Rider passing by,” the magenta Kamen Rider replied. “I’ve learned a bit about your situation, and to be honest, I’m quite interested. I’d like to join your team.”
“How can we let someone of unknown origin like you…” One of them was interrupted by Wu Pingtian before he could finish speaking. “Those who can become Kamen Riders are, after all, people with a sense of justice, there’s no doubt about that.” Wu Pingtian stared at the Rider in front of him. “You are Kamen Rider Decade, right? I’ve heard Kiva mention you. He spoke highly of your strength! With you joining us, our chances of winning are much greater.”
"Thank you for your trust, Captain Wu." Emperor Knight nodded to Wu Pingtian.
"Alright, in that case, let's set off." Wu Pingtian waved his hand and led the way towards the barrier entrance. "Sir, are you unwilling to deactivate your transformation? We haven't reached the Dangerous Forest yet, there's no danger here." "I have my reasons, I'm sorry!" "I see, then I won't force you, sir."
Kamen Rider Decade walked to the middle of the group. Seeing their captain speak, the others said nothing more, and the group of 20 headed towards the dangerous forest. Two hours later, they reached the edge of the forest. After transforming, they continued deeper into the forest. The journey was remarkably peaceful; no unusual situations or strange characters appeared. This was actually expected. After all, seeing such a large and powerful Kamen Rider team, who would dare to easily challenge them? That would be suicide. Therefore, this outcome was entirely anticipated.
At dawn on Saturday, as the sky began to lighten, the group finally reached the outermost layer of the dangerous forest and looked at the barrier before them. Although Wu Pingtian had seen it many times before, every time he saw this massive barrier up close, his heart was filled with admiration for the Time King, Oma.
"It's time to go out, everyone follow me closely." Wu Pingtian said, taking the lead and stepping out of the barrier...
