“Hehehehe…! Just as I planned, everyone’s too busy with Isaac and the others to chase me. Now I just have to wait for them to come get me.”
Neid had gone a little further after crossing the city’s northern gate, and mumbled to himself while hearing the panic he caused by unleashing the magic sword users.
Even the people who knew he was behind this were too busy to chase him, because they were unable to abandon the people being attacked.
Idiots, he thought. It was truly foolish to try to help strangers who offered no value.
In the end, the victor would be someone like him, who thought only about how things benefited him, and fought alone without helping a single person.
Others fell into one of two categories, enemies to be kicked down, or pawns to be used. People who talked about cooperation or friendship were too soft.
He would continue to use those people for his own gain as he kept ascending.
Eventually, he would dominate this world… But then his thoughts were interrupted by a strong wind that made him look up.
“Ooh…! Are you here to get me!?”
He saw a giant, suspicious bird that spread its wings and slowly descended. Seeing Garuda brought an emotional smile to Neid’s face.
He thought to himself that if he got on it, it would take him to the wonderful organization that would bring him glory… But as he imagined his future with excitement, something black jumped over his head.
“Hihin!!”
“Wha…!?”
It ran straight towards the descending Garuda, and hit it with a strong tackle.
The bird’s posture was completely thrown off by an unforeseen attack, and the black something… The horse with fire on its hooves, revealed Yuugo on its back, as he jumped in front of Neid.
“Hi Neid. Sorry that I caught up just before you’re about to take your big jump, but I’m here to get in your way again.”
“Yuugo Clay!? Why are you here!? Did you abandon all those people!?”
“Of course not. I have friends I can count on who are dealing with the ones you sent after us. That’s how I managed to catch up.”
Neid clenched his teeth at this unexpected development.
He was one step away from escaping… He was frustrated, and began to feel flustered as he saw the black horse fight Garuda.
(This isn’t good. If he keeps getting in my way, the guards are going to get here. Then I’ll really be screwed. I need to dispatch them quickly…!!)
His bright future was almost within his grasp, but there was scum standing in his way.
He took out his hammer from his pocket, thinking he could not allow Yuugo to stop him, but at the same time, Yuugo clenched his fists.
Neid turned into a cyclops and ran while clenching the hammer that had been the cause of many tragedies, and Yuugo also ran to stop him as he yelled.
“Henshin!!”
Crimson light, fresh blood red light. The two lights that were so similar felt like complete opposites.
Both jumped out of their lights and hit each other, and both were thrown back.
“Guuh…! Always getting in my way…! Just a bit more, and I would’ve gotten my world without magic knights…!!”
“The world you want is one full of tears and suffering! I don’t care what your reasons are, I can’t accept your ideals of making people cry for your happiness!”
“So what!? Give up! Magic swords are all over the world, and my world without magic knights is very close! No one can stop me!”
“Sorry, but heroes don’t know when to give up. Give up on trying to get me to give up. You say no one can stop you, but… Someone right here can.”
Yuugo said as he pointed straight at the cyclops.
He clenched his right fist, and pointed to himself with his thumb. And with a daring smile under his helmet, he made a declaration.
“I’m the one who’s going to stop you!!”

Neid has a twisted worldview, huh. He only see everyone else as tools.
Also I’m still new to Kamen Rider series, but I believe the last line is from Zero One?
Yup it’s from Kamen Rider Zero One
