"Oh...fuuuuuu!"
Crash!
Build collided with a life sized stegosaurus-shaped playground structure after being forcefully kicked away by the Smash.
"Ouch..." Build was laying on the ground, the pain from the huge blow he had taken was taking its toll on him. He didn't have the energy or strength to get back to his feet for the time being.
The giant sized Monster started walking towards the downed Rider, each one of its steps made the earth shake.
Struggling to stand, Build collapsed once more. He required a few additional seconds to recuperate, yet the Smash was closing in, bound to reach him well before he could recover.
It was now right over top of him. It raised one of its colossal hands slowly, ready to crush the rider like a bug at any moment.
"Ugh..." Sento groaned, struggling to get back to his feet. He was too slow, too weak... The Smash was going to finish him.
Whoosh! Ping!
The massive fist started to fly down towards Build but then stopped its swing mid-way.
Half way through its strike, something had impaled the back side of the blown-up monster. It was Build's Drill Crusher. Somehow it had buried itself half way into the Smash!
"Huh?!"Build was relieved to not be flattened; he peered through the gap between the monster's legs to see who or what had saved him by hurling his weapon at the Smash.
The Smash turned its massive body to peer behind, distracted from pulverizing the tiny nuisance in front of it.
It was Ryuga.
He stood there, epically posed as if he had just thrown a baseball, with steam rising from his upper body and arms. In his left had he held the Dragon Bottle that Sento had trusted him with.
The bottle had elevated Ryuga's strength to new heights, as demonstrated by the speed at which the Drill Crusher had to be traveling to bury itself into the Smash.
"Banjo?" Kamen Rider Build was surprised to see the man, he had no idea why he was here and not still with Sawa.
Ryuga punched the air, grinning at the giant wound he had inflicted on the Smash. "Alright Build! Now, go for it!"
Build nodded his head towards Ryuga. "Understood!"
He leaped up to his feet, having gained the precious time needed to recover. He pulled out two bottles and started to shake them vigorously.
HAWK! GATLING!
Build plunged the bottles into his driver as quickly as he could, while the super sized Smash was still distracted.
BEST MATCH!
Build turned the crank on his driver, the runners quickly turned the essence into new armor pieces for him.
Build assumed the pose of his newly formed armor halves. "Build up!"
ARE YOU READY!?
With a flash of light, Build's new setup latched onto his body, giant orange wings formed behind him and the gust of wind they created pushed the giant Smash back. This form was certainly powerful!
THE SOARING WILDMAN!
HAWKGATLING! YEAH!
As his driver called out his new form, Build flapped his wings, causing him to rocket into the sky.
"I've got the winning formula!"
The Smash made every effort to hit the rapidly maneuvering and attacking Rider, but to no avail.
Each of the bright orange energy blasts, resembling hawk constructs, hit their mark, resulting in a multitude of sparks erupting across the Smash's body.
"You're finished..."
Build paused mid air, and started to wind up his gatling gun by spinning the barrel with his free hand.
TEN! TWENTY! THIRTY!
The barrel started to rotate faster and faster.
FORTY! FIFTY! SIXTY!
The Smash tried to move but found that it wasn't capable, the prior attack had left it immobilized and the extent of the damage was only hurting it now, almost like the delayed slashing damage of an expert sword master of legend.
SEVENTY! EIGHTY! NINETY!
Build turned his head to gaze directly at his adversary. His hand struck the barrel once again, and now the barrel of his weapon was whirling so swiftly it became a blur.
ONE HUNDRED! FULL BULLETS!
The tip of the gun started to glow right as the announcement was made. He leveled the gun slowly with both hands towards the Smash as its tip started to release a golden-orange glow.
Bang Bang Bang Bang Bang!
The power he had accumulated was now unleashed, with each projectile hitting the defenseless Smash directly. A spectacle of sparks and explosions erupted as the Smash absorbed every hit. The nebula gas escaping from its wounds tinted the explosions with a green hue, dancing across its form.
Ryuga was excited to see the finisher that Build had just performed.
"Hell yea! Way to go!" He pumped his hand again as the Smash tumbled down to the ground, and started to move forwards the downed Smash.
Build descended from his aerial position, landing squarely in front of the defeated Smash, who was emitting smoke. Its body was slightly charred and visibly damaged.
The victorious Rider was more than convinced of his win. He pulled his bottles from the driver and released his transformation.
After a brief flash of golden light, Build had returned to being Sento once more.
He grabbed the nearby Drill Crushed that was stuck into the ground and looked it over once or twice.
"Huh, never thought about throwing this thing before..." Sento propped the weapon on his shoulder while Ryuga approached, a broad smile spread across his face.
"How do you like my sweet pecs now?" Ryuga flexed his arms and then pumped his chest, proud of the damage he had caused to the Smash earlier.
Sento grinned back at him. "It was because of the Dragon Bottle you're holding onto."
Sento turned his attention back towards the task at hand and pulled out an empty bottle, his eyes fixed on the smoldering remains of the Smash. The air was now heavy with the scent of ozone and burnt metal. He flicked the cap to activate the bottle, and a warm, golden light began to emanate from it.
With a steady hand, Sento aimed the bottle at the wreckage of monster, and its essence flowed towards him. The Smash's body began to shrink, its massive form dwindling to a more human size.
As the dust settled, Ryuga approached the man who had once been the Smash. His eyes widened in shock as he took in the sight before him. "Nabeshima...?" he whispered, his voice trembling with incredulity.
Sento's eyes snapped towards Ryuga, then down towards the man on the ground, his expression mirroring his friend's shock. "What...what is this?" he stammered, his mind reeling with the implications.
Ryuga's gaze was fixed on Nabeshima's face, his eyes searching for any sign of recognition or awareness. But there was none. The former Smash lay motionless, his eyes closed as if he had succumbed to exhaustion.
The two friends now stood there in stunned silence, their minds struggling to comprehend what they had just witnessed. Sento had never seen a Smash change form before - it was as if Nabeshima had been a different person altogether.
The memory of his previous battle against Nabeshima flashed through Sento's mind like a reel of film, and he couldn't help but wonder what had driven him to change so dramatically.
He then thought about the memo he had received with the tip from Miitan, leading him to do battle with the Smash in the park.
"This shouldn't be possible, what the hell is going on?...Wait...experimented on twice..." Sento muttered, his voice barely audible over the sound of his own ragged breathing.
