>>6411284>>6411284The trio storms into the base, each with their own goal- Kerebos is to activate the base's self-destruct. Dio has to shut down all the clones, and Longinus is to destroy the Red 9 processing facility, while running interference.
Inside, the close-quarters battle becomes frantic and mad- To their horror, they find that some of their former allies have been converted to Chiropterans, too, which makes for uncomfortable confrontations. Longinus takes on his old instructor (Now the Griffin Chiropteran.) in a unpowered knife-fight, and ultimately winning by taking the knife in his shoulder, so he could stab the man in the throat.
Dio, meanwhile, finds the cloning vats within the fortress- And also the identity of his genetic 'donor'. He destroys the data without reading it, affirming that he is, now and forever, Kamen Rider Dio- The sole inheritor of the name and the legacy. He drains the vats, disintegrating the malformed copies of himself- Stating that he is not just *them*, but so much more. (Note that of all the clones, Dio is unique, in that he couldn't be remotely controlled- When the station was destroyed, all the clones shut down at once. With the cloning system flushed, it'd be impossible to copy him any longer.)
Kerebos battles his personal enemy, the Lion Chiropteran- The two tear into each other like animals, in the reactor core of the base, leaping from girder to girder- Until in the final exchange, Kerebos Sunders the walkway they were fighting on, and bull-rushes the Chiropteran off, into the molten Core, to his doom.
