The Turtle Gurongi didn't know, and Shotaro Hidari, as a Kamen Rider, knew even less. He was a hard-boiled detective who had originally been looking for a lost dog to complete a commission.
He had come to this deserted area to search, and while looking, a Monster suddenly appeared to his left, which gave him quite a fright.
But upholding his duty as a Kamen Rider who protects the city, Shotaro Hidari naturally transformed without a word. He used the w driver, becoming a two-in-one Kamen Rider. His body led the transformation, and he had a combat partner named Philip. After transforming, Philip controlled the right half, while he controlled the left half.
After making contact, he found that his initial CycloneJoker Form couldn't hurt this turtle-like Monster at all. So, he decisively switched to his Heat Metal Form, which currently possessed the strongest attack and defense among all his forms, though its weakness was slightly lower mobility.
But even so, he still fell into a disadvantage because the enemy's strength was greater than his. Originally, finishers were only used to end a fight after the enemy had been crippled.
But now the enemy was too strong to be damaged, so he had no choice but to use his ultimate move first. If he could kill the enemy, that would be best; even if he couldn't kill them in one hit, the best result would be to cripple the opponent, perhaps turning the tide of the situation.
"Haaaaaa!!"
Originally, the running speed of the Heat Metal Form was 100 meters in 11 seconds, but with the acceleration of the thrusters activated by the Metal Shaft for the finisher, the 100-meter sprint could be shortened by three to four seconds.
"Come on!"
The Turtle Gurongi retracted his iron flail. Facing Kamen Rider W's finisher, he didn't dodge but chose to meet it head-on, as he was extremely confident in his defense.
Another reason was that all his attributes were invested in defense and attack, so his speed was very slow; since he wasn't as fast as his opponent, he couldn't dodge anyway.
"Bang!"
Shotaro Hidari and Philip each gripped the Metal Shaft with the hands they controlled, using all their might to strike hard against the Turtle Gurongi's abdomen.
However, to their shock, the attack didn't land. Instead, it was caught by the Turtle Gurongi with his bare iron hands.
Shotaro Hidari's eyes widened as he said, "No... no way!"
Philip was also shocked: "He actually caught a Maximum Drive with his bare hands!"
The Turtle Gurongi mocked them in his native tongue: "Hehehe, I thought you had some real power, but is this it? Trash!"
After saying that, he raised his foot and kicked Kamen Rider W away. The Metal Shaft was also held in the Turtle Gurongi's hand; after just a glance, he tossed it aside in disgust.
Shotaro Hidari stood up miserably, clutching his chest and gritting his teeth. "What's with this guy? He doesn't look like a Dopant, but his strength is just too much. We're being crushed!"
"Damn it..."
Philip couldn't think of any solution for a moment. In the face of absolute strength, none of their forms could break the current situation.
The Turtle Gurongi didn't know that the Kamen Rider in front of him could actually discuss tactics with himself. He took out his iron flail, swung the chain to let the ball spin twice, and then threw it at Shotaro Hidari.
Shotaro Hidari quickly rolled to the right to dodge. The iron ball smashed into the ground, creating a crater.
The Turtle Gurongi retracted the iron ball and threw it again. This time, Shotaro Hidari couldn't dodge because he wasn't fast enough. After being hit in the shoulder, he spun half a circle and fell to the ground.
"What's wrong? Do you only have those two tricks? You're already rolling on the ground after just this much? Truly trash."
The Turtle Gurongi smugly spun the iron ball, mocking them in words Shotaro Hidari couldn't understand.
"What kind of gibberish is this turtle speaking? I haven't understood a single word since we started."
Shotaro Hidari staggered to his feet and complained.
Philip said, "Shotaro, summon the triceracop to create an opportunity for us!"
triceracop?
Shotaro Hidari perked up at the words. Right, that was his large support vehicle. Although it didn't have any weaponry, its massive body could be used for ramming or defending against powerful attacks. With the support of the triceracop, he might be able to regain some advantage.
Just as he was about to pull out his special phone to summon the support vehicle, a sudden torrential rain poured down from the sky.
[Ten wo Tsukame Rider! (Wow!) Kizame Chronicle! Ima koso Toki wa Kiwamareri! (Wow!)]
And as the heavy rain fell, a stirring sound effect rang out.
"What?"
This caused Shotaro Hidari's movements to pause. He immediately turned his head to look, and the Turtle Gurongi was also drawn by the sound effect and looked over.
To one side, a green thunderous light covered a figure's entire body. After the thunder subsided, a completely unfamiliar black-and-green Kamen Rider appeared in their sight. The goggles flashing with green light and the massive golden clock behind him brought a heavy sense of pressure at a single glance. This was the gap brought by level.
Shotaro Hidari said in surprise, "Who is that guy? A Kamen Rider?"
Philip didn't speak, but instead reached out his right hand to feel the falling rain. When he listened to the radio, it clearly said today would be a sunny day, and since it was noon, the sun had been high just a moment ago.
Why did it suddenly start raining heavily, and right when this stranger Kamen Rider appeared?
"Another one? Playing tricks. If you want to fight, tell Kuuga to come out and fight me!"
The Turtle Gurongi angrily swung the iron ball several times and threw it at Shiraishi Shin, who had just transformed and was standing there.
"Don't take it head-on! The power of that iron ball..."
Shotaro Hidari hurriedly warned Shiraishi Shin to be careful of that powerful iron ball. Even in his Heat Metal Form with maxed-out defense, being hit by it made him grimace in pain.
However, before he could finish his sentence, the rest of his voice got stuck in his throat. He saw an absolutely mind-blowing scene: that powerful iron ball was actually caught by the mysterious person with a single hand. His five fingers clamped onto the iron ball without the slightest disturbance.
"Nani!"
The Turtle Gurongi was shocked. Before he could process anything, he felt an irresistible force coming from the chain in his hand, dragging him out.
He was so scared that he hurriedly let go. The remaining force caused him to fall flat on his face, splashing water from the already accumulating puddles on the ground.
"This..."
Shotaro Hidari didn't know how to put his many thoughts into words. What kind of power was this? That turtle Monster was completely defeated in a contest of strength?
Philip also said solemnly, "Shotaro, this guy's strength is far beyond our imagination. I even suspect he's the one behind this heavy rain?"
Shotaro Hidari swallowed hard and said nervously, "What? He can even influence the weather?"
"A Gurongi, and it's the somewhat famous Turtle Brother?"
Shiraishi Shin looked at the Monster getting back up. He hadn't understood the gibberish the Gurongi spoke earlier either, but looking across all Riders, the only Monsters who spoke their native language should be the Gurongi. Plus, the shell on this Monster looked a lot like a turtle and he held an iron ball, which reminded him of the famous meme of 'Turtle Brother the Real Man' who tanked a nuclear explosion kick to protect the lights of ten thousand homes.
The Turtle Gurongi looked at Shiraishi Shin warily. From that display of strength just now, he was far beyond what that two-colored Monster could compare to. Such a strong person was worthy of him remembering their name. So, he said in somewhat broken Japanese, "Human, what is your name?"
