Kagami was startled by the sudden declaration. He turned to the man before him, confusion evident on his face. "Who are you?" he asked.
Mishima Masato replied coldly, "The headquarters ordered him to arrange participants for the experiment."
He paused briefly before continuing, "He feared putting his beloved subordinates in danger, so he volunteered himself. That's how Mr. Tansho got injured."
Kagami's expression darkened. "Are you from the organization? What kind of experiment is this?"
Masato stepped closer, his demeanor unwavering. "It's the Gundam King experiment—an attempt to create a new Kamen Rider."
"A new Kamen Rider? Gundam King?" Kagami repeated, visibly stunned. Were they trying to develop another Kamen Rider?
Masato's lips curled into a faint smile. "If the experiment succeeds, Gundam King will become Jet's strongest Kamen Rider, capable of destroying alien insect nests single-handedly."
Hearing this, Kagami's eyes brightened. Without hesitation, he rushed towards the laboratory, followed closely by Misaki Yutsuki, who called out, "Kagami!"
As Kagami reached the lab, he grabbed the transformation belt. Misaki tried to stop him, imploring, "Don't! Mr. Tansho risked his life to protect you! Don't let his sacrifice go to waste!"
Kagami's determination was unshaken. "Let me go! Someone is waiting for me to save them!" he shouted, breaking free of her grasp.
The audience across the three realms watched, moved by Kagami's courage and unwavering sense of justice. His kind and upright nature resonated deeply with them.
Inside the lab, the Gundam King transformation device floated mid-air. Kagami's resolve hardened as he spoke, "I need your strength. Come on, Gundam King Transformer!"
However, moments later, loud thuds echoed from within the lab. Even its sturdy exterior began to bulge outward. Misaki, standing outside, covered her mouth in worry. "Kagami!" she called out.
Soon, Kagami emerged, his face bloodied and his body weak. He collapsed, seriously injured. Disheartened, the audience assumed the experiment had failed. Misaki rushed him to the hospital, where he joined Tansho Shuichi, who was still recovering from his own attempt at the experiment.
At the hospital, Misaki called Tiandao for help. "Kagami has been seriously injured! Please, we need your assistance!"
Tiandao's voice remained cold. "I refuse," he replied before abruptly ending the call. Misaki was left frustrated and confused. "Hello? Hello?! Why is he like this? Aren't they friends?"
Meanwhile, Tansho Shuichi looked on from outside Kagami's ward, sighing. "You really don't value your life at all."
Later that night, a masked figure entered Kagami's ward. Another man, dressed as a doctor, was already inside. The newcomer reached towards Kagami's neck, clearly with malicious intent. Just then, the "doctor" grabbed his hand and removed his mask, revealing Tiandao beneath.
"Grandma once said," Tiandao began, "those who know the truth cannot be deceived by lies. The alien insect impersonating Kagami would surely try to eliminate the real one."
The masked intruder transformed into an adult alien insect. Tiandao, now on full alert, shouted, "Transform!" The two engaged in combat outside the hospital.
"Exploding Armor! Beetle Transformation! Speed Up!" Tiandao's swift movements overwhelmed the alien insect. Despite its ferocious attacks, Tiandao dodged effortlessly and countered with precision. His final "Knight Kick" sent the alien insect crashing to the ground, where it exploded in a blaze of green flames. The audience marveled at the spectacular display, likening it to a blockbuster movie.
However, the main alien insect escaped during the commotion.
Elsewhere, Kageyama and his ant soldiers prepared to storm a factory. Before they could act, a young man in a white suit approached, exuding confidence. "All alien insects are my prey," he declared. This was Kamishiro Ken.
Inside the factory, Kagami had arrived in search of a young boy named Acheng. "Acheng, it's me, Kagami. I'm here to save you," he called out.
The boy ran to him. "Big brother!" he cried.
Relieved, Kagami smiled. "You're safe. Let's go!"
As they tried to leave, they stumbled upon rows of alien insect eggs. "Are these all alien insect eggs?" Kagami asked, horrified. The sheer number sent chills down the spines of viewers.
Suddenly, an adult insect appeared, ready to attack. Before Kagami could react, Tiandao arrived, his demeanor calm and collected. "Grandma once said," he remarked, "finding out a secret recipe is more satisfying than keeping one."
Tiandao's transformation was swift. His attacks, precise and devastating, obliterated the alien insect. Flames and smoke filled the factory as explosions rocked the scene. The audience cheered, their excitement palpable.
As Kagami and Acheng moved deeper into the factory, they were cornered by alien insects. Kagami's relief turned to shock when Acheng revealed himself to be an alien insect in disguise. "You thought you could delay our plans, but now, you're useless," Acheng sneered.
The audience was stunned. "This harmless boy was an alien insect all along?" they exclaimed in disbelief.
Acheng transformed into his true form and, along with another alien insect, attacked Kagami. Wounded and betrayed, Kagami struggled to comprehend the betrayal. Bloodied and weak, he fell to the ground.
Just when it seemed all hope was lost, a mysterious figure appeared, handing Kagami a belt before disappearing. With renewed determination, Kagami stood up. "An alien insect that exploits trust will never be forgiven!" he vowed.
Calling upon the Steel Fighting King Transformer, Kagami transformed. The device, seemingly recognizing his resolve, flew into his hands. The audience erupted with excitement. "Kagami finally has his own transformation device!" they cheered.
The battle resumed, and Kagami, now armed with the power of the Steel Fighting King, faced off against the alien insects. His shoulder-mounted firearms unleashed devastating fireballs, obliterating his enemies in fiery explosions. The audience marveled at the sheer power of his new form.
"This is incredible!" they exclaimed. "Kagami is unstoppable now!"
Even when an alien insect attempted a counterattack, Kagami remained unfazed. His movements were fluid, his strikes lethal. The background music swelled, amplifying the emotional intensity of the scene.
Finally, after an epic showdown, Kagami emerged victorious. The factory was cleared of alien insects, and the eggs were destroyed. The audience across the three realms celebrated his triumph, their hearts filled with admiration for his bravery and determination.
Kagami's journey to become the King of Steel was fraught with trials and tribulations, but his unwavering sense of justice and courage had led him to this moment. The Steel Fighting King transformation device was a testament to his resolve, marking the beginning of a new chapter in his life as a Kamen Rider.
