I do not own the series Kamen Rider Decade, Kiva, Den-O, Kabuto, Hibiki, Blade, Faiz (555), Ryuki, Agito or Kuuga. That's basically all of the Heisei Era Rider series. I only own the characters used to replace the original characters and Kamen Rider BiGunn. The Rider systems will remain the same but the main premise of the Decade series will be somewhat different. I hope you like this story as it is the second rewrite fanfic I've done (the first one is my Beetleborgs EX series). Enjoy and let me know what you think of it.

Episode 1.

Prologue. Decade Arrives!

Opening theme: Journey Through the Decade (theme of Kamen Rider Decade)

Artist: Gackt

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

It was an early morning and a young man with shoulder length, spiky red hair was running down the street and up to an old abandoned military compound. As the young man ran he past a store full of mirrors and other antiques. He stopped real quick to look himself over. Looking himself up and down he made sure he nothing was out of place. He wore a white short sleeved buttoned up shirt, a black leather belt and blue jeans. On his feet was a pair of black sneakers and white socks. Attached to the right of his belt was a holder with a reddish pink digital camera which held many pictures of him and his girlfriend inside.

The young man nodded to himself and then continued on running off towards the building. Unbeknownst to him was that someone was there waiting for him whom he didn't expect.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Inside a small room were a few dozen monitors with images of almost all of the empty rooms on their screens. In the middle of the room was a big monitor which showed the image of a room which was not empty. Standing in front of the monitor was a small group of people watching what was taking place within the room.

In the room, sitting on a makeshift bed, was a young man with long teal blue hair and blue eyes and a young girl with short silver hair and hazel eyes. The young man was wearing a black t-shirt with the white symbol of a skull on the front, blue jeans and a pair of brown boots. The young girl whore a black leather choker, white blouse, a short red miniskirt and a pair of black slip on shoes. Around her neck was a locket which housed a picture of her and her boyfriend who just happened to be the young man running up to the old building. The young man sitting across from her was their long time friend. There was only one little problem with this little scene. The blue haired man had the young girl in his arms and was kissing her passionately.

Breaking away for a moment to breathe the young man asked the girl a question. "Shiori, why don't you just dump Koujin and stop cheating on him. It'd only break his heart more if he found out about us."

"Huh? What do you mean Duce? I'm not cheating on Koujin. I'm just…I'm just" Shiori tried to explain herself.

"Oh please, if you're not cheating on him then why have you been making out with me for the past two months? Why do you lie to him whenever he calls you, telling him your someplace else when you're actually being held in my arms." Duce asked her. She just looked away, feeling guilty. "I'll tell you why. It's because you've grown tired of his depressed attitude. Ever since he found out he wasn't a match for the DiEnd system and I was he's been moping around, feeling sorry for himself. And you, my beloved, have gotten fed up with him. You want someone who, like yourself, is a Rider."

Shiori thought about Duce's words and after a moment pushed him away and got up. She headed towards the door and grabbed the handle. Before opening the door she looked at Duce. "Not anymore I'm not. I'm ending this now."

"So…what? You're going to go break up with him then?"

"No, I'm ending this affair right now." Duce nearly fell off the bed and gave Shiori a scrupulous look.

"But why? I thought we had a good connection going on."

"That's just it, you thought." Shiori just sighed and looked away from him. "I'll say this. You were right. I was fed up with Koujin's attitude. I couldn't take it anymore. And then you offered me the forbidden fruit and I went for it. And I now regret it. I'm Koujin's girlfriend. I should be out there cheering him up, not cheating on him with his best friend behind his back."

"Bullshit! Even I know you don't mean that. Everyone knows it."

"Give it a rest Duce. You've had it out for Koujin for years. He's always been better than you at everything. And when he was chosen to take the resonance test for the DiEnd system you decided to take it as well. You beat him but you didn't stop there. You wanted what was his and that's me. Well I'm not falling for it anymore." She opened the door and prepared to walk out. "Goodbye Duce. For our relationship…this is…DiEnd."

She began walking when Duce's comm. Band started to beep. Irritated, Duce answered it with hate. "What is it?!"

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Koujin made it to the building and walked up to the door. He knocked on it and after a moment a man, no older than twenty-two, opened it up and welcomed him in. The man ushered Koujin to a room filled with monitors with images of all the rooms on their screens. Koujin walked up to another man he recognized who greeted him with a smile.

"Why hello Koujin. What brings you here to our little hideout." the man asked.

"Hey Chuck. Duce called me. He said there was something he wanted to show me and that it was really urgent. Something to do with Shiori and her Rider system if I recall." Koujin replied. Chuck and the others in the room just smiled and they all started to snicker. Koujin got a little creeped out by this and then looked over to the big monitor in the center of the room and saw an image which shook him to his core. What he saw was his girlfriend in the arms of his best friend, kissing him very passionately. "W-w-…..what's going on here?" Koujin asked, a little confused.

"Sorry Koujin, but this was really what the boss wanted to show you. He wanted you to see Shiori's treachery first hand." Chuck replied. Koujin's eyes glazed over slightly as rage began to build up within his heart. He felt it breaking and falling apart into hundreds of pieces as he watched them making out, slipping their tongues in each others mouths and moaning gently. "How long…has this been going on?" Koujin asked in a monotone voice.

"About two months now give or take. It seems Shiori has finally gotten fed up with your depression and has moved onto an even better man. Every time you call her she lies and tells you she's here or there when she's actually with him." a girl from the background replied. Koujin clenched his fists, growing angrier until Chuck switched off the monitor.

"Ok Koujin. That's what the boss wanted ya to see. So, how does it make you feel knowing that the one person you trusted the most betrayed you? Knowing that she prefers a man with a Rider system over you." Chuck gloated. That snapped Koujin's last nerve as his mind went completely blank.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Deep within the ancient tomb located in the Alter Realm where the nine Rider belts and the DiEnd Gun were found a small statue began to crack. The ground shook violently as the clouds grew dark and lightning crackled and thunder shook the landscape. The statue, which resembled a human who's right half looked like an angel and left half looked like a devil, suddenly broke open as a ball of light sprung forth and went through the ceiling. A small portal opened up in the sky which the ball of light went into before it closed.

Moments later, another small portal opened up with the hallway inside the old building just before the door. The ball of light appeared and went on to search for the being that had made a connection with it. A connection of one that was once whole but now stood broken and lost. Within seconds it entered the room where Koujin and the others stood. Everyone saw the ball and backed away in a panicked fashion.

Only Koujin didn't move as he no longer cared about anything, even his own life nor the life of anyone he cared for. The ball of light hovered in front of him and he just starred at it. It seemed to stare back at him as well and then after a moment it moved into his right hand. Koujin grew a look of hatred in his eyes as the ball of light transformed into a white buckle in the shape of a box-like oval. In the center was a silver ring with a red circle within it. Encircling the silver ring on the outside were nine different symbols.

On the sides were two silver handles, each with three small circular gems embedded on them. The white buckle had a black track located on the sides of the silver ring and ending at the area near the handles. Koujin moved his arm and placed the buckle in front of his waist. The buckle responded by sending out a black strap which encircled his waist, forming a belt. Another ball of light appeared on his left side and transformed into a strange silver colored case. The case had a small antenna on the top and had one of its sides and its bottom parts trimmed in black. On the front cover of the case was a barcode-like symbol in red coloring.

Chuck and the others looked on in awe at the scene and wondered what was going on. They then got their answer as Koujin grabbed the two handles on the side of the buckle and pulled them outwards, causing the white buckle to turn 1 quarter clockwise. He then opened the silver case to reveal an inner black casing with a slot on each side. Each slot held a stack of cards which seemed to look similar to those that belong to Duce's DiEnd system. Koujin reach over to one of the slots with his right hand and drew out a card, causing the silver case to make a type of revving sound. He lifted the card in front of him and showed it to the others. What they saw was an image of an unknown Rider on it. They couldn't make out the name as they were too far away but figured that it was a dangerous Rider.

"Hey Koujin…w-what's going on? You ok buddy?" Chuck asked in a stuttering voice. Koujin just glared at him as he flipped the card around showing them its backside.

"…I'm not your buddy. Not anymore." Koujin looked back over at the monitor and saw one of the other people there trying to contact Duce. "You are all worthless souls that are no longer fit to dwell in the world of the living." He turned his head back towards Chuck and just starred at him with lifeless looking eyes.

:"Come on man, we were just following orders. It's Duce who you should be mad at. I told him not to do it as I know how pissed you wo—" Chuck tried to tell him.

"SILENCE!" Koujin shouted. He then heard the man behind him calling out to some one on the huge monitor.

"Boss…boss, come in, quick! We've got a big problem here!"

"What is it?!" Duce shouted. Duce then saw Koujin in the background followed by seeing the card in his hand. "Hey, how did Koujin get a DiEnd card?"

"Huh, Koujin's here?!" Shiori called from the background in the room where Duce was located. This made Koujin even angrier at just hearing her.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Duce was looking at Koujin through his comm. Band and once he mentioned Koujin's name Shiori was at his side in an instant. She looked at him through the comm. Band's screen and saw the look in his eyes. What she saw was nothing more than hurt and lifelessness. She looked around the background some more and realized where he was and also what Duce had done. She looked at Duce and gave him a death glare.

"You bastard! You had us on camera and made Koujin watch?! I'll kill you for that!" Shiori shouted. Duce, on the other hand, hand other things on his mind. That card made him think and he didn't recognize the image of the Rider portrayed on it.

"Can it Shiori! We can argue about this later. Now come on!" Duce ordered her while grabbing her by the wrist and dragging her out the door and to the elevator that would take them to the monitor room.

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

Chuck and the others looked on in shock as they saw the seriousness in Duce's face on the monitor. They were even more scared of Koujin after seeing Duce head for their location as fast as he could. Chuck turned back to look at Koujin who was just starring at them. Koujin then, with a quick flick of his wrist, slipped the card into the buckle. The buckle made a repeated mechanical noise while a voice called out upon the card being inserted into it.

"Kamen Ride."

"…henshin." Koujin said in a soft monotone voice while pushing the handles back in, causing the buckle to go back to its original position. The barcode symbol appeared in front of the buckle, enlarged in red, along with three red words saying Kamen Ride: Decade.

"Decade!"

Grey colored after images shot out from the sides of the buckle in the form of the Rider on the card. As they converged upon Koujin's body the nine symbols on the buckle also appeared in the air in grey coloring, being fused into the Rider suit as it formed. The red circle within the buckle then shout out a red glowing rectangle about the size of Koujin's head. The red rectangle separated into seven different segments and merged with his helmet. Once that happened his eye pieces glowed green as a yellow gem on his forehead glowed. Grey shades of his armor then shifted into a pinkish red color as he let out a dulled sigh.

Chuck and the others gazed upon his Rider form which was slightly armored. His coloring was pinkish red, black and white. The sides of his body suit were pink around the waist and thighs and black in the center. His shoulder armor was slightly rounded pinkish red as well and so was his chest plate. What made it stand out was the huge white X that cover part of his chest plate and extended over his left shoulder plate with two flat protrusions jutting out from the side of the shoulder plate. His right shoulder plate had a similar jutting edge but remained pinkish red instead of turning white.

His upper arms had small pinkish red armor pieces attached onto his body suit. The inner areas of the arms were white while black on the outer area. His forearms were covered in black and white gauntlets with white wrist guards. The upper ends of the gauntlets were black and jutted outwards slightly. His hands were covered in black armor plating with full armored fingertips. His lower thighs and shins were covered in armor covering which was white on the inside area, black in the center and pinkish red on the outer area. His knees were also covered in a similar armor platting with the same color pattern. His feet were covered in black armored boots which met the white ankle guards of his lower leg armor.

Last but not least was his helmet. It was mostly pinkish red in the center with a silver jaw line and mouth plate. The sides were black and wrapped around the back of the helmet. A single silver bar design was located in the center of the back of his head and slightly wrapped around to where his ears would be. His eye pieces were green in color and the black lines on his helmet which were once the red energy rectangle could be seen within them.

Koujin was now in the same Rider armor that was depicted on the card from earlier. He then reached for his silver case on his side and pulled out another card. The image depicted on it was his Rider form doing a strange multi shot with a weird looking gun. He pulled open the side handles of his buckle, causing to turn 1 quarter clockwise again and slide the card inside.

"Attack Ride."

Chuck and the others looked on in fear but were then greeted to the sound of the elevator door on the side of the room opening up. Duce and Shiori ran out only to see a strange looking Rider in the center of the room instead of Koujin.

"Hey, where's Koujin? And who's this guy?" Shiori asked. Koujin, upon see her by Duce's side and having her hand held by his, quickly slid the handles closed and drew the silver case from its holster on his belt while shifting it to gun mode.

"Blast!" the buckle shouted. With that Koujin shot a multi-shot barrage at Chuck and his comrades. Shiori and duce stood there, terrified at the new Riders' actions. After a moment had passed Koujin stopped firing and lowered his weapon. Shiori ran over to Chuck who was slowly dying and held him in her arms.

"Chuck…Chuck, what's going on? (sniff) Who is that?!" She asked him while she started to cry at losing a dear friend.

"K-k-kou……Koujin…" was all he could mutter while pointing at the armored Rider. As if on cue, Koujin placed the silver case back in his belt and drew another card. This one had a different Rider image on it and Duce quickly recognized the imaged.

"That card…that's the Kabuto card!" Duce shouted which made Shiori stare at Koujin. Koujin once again opened up his buckle and slid the card in.

"Kamen Ride."

Koujin quickly close the handles again, activating the transformation. "Kabuto!" the buckle shouted while the words Kamen Ride: Kabuto appeared in red in front of it out of thin air as well as Kabuto's symbol. A strange mechanical noise sounded off as small octagon shaped patterns appeared over Koujins Rider form, transforming him into Kabuto, minus Kabuto's buckle and belt and replacing those with his own. He slowly walked towards Shiori while taking the silver case from his side again and, this time, shifting it to sword mode.

Duce, not liking where this was going, summoned his Soutenjuu DiEndriver and pulled his henshin card out from his pants pocket. He slid the front part of the muzzle forward, revealing a hidden compartment. Sliding the card inside he then aimed his Soutenjuu in the air while it spoke in the same voice and manner as Koujin's buckle.

"Kamen Ride." Koujin turned to look over at Duce and so did Shiori.

"Daniels! Stay away from her. She's mine now." Koujin, both slowly and calmly, turned towards Duce and began walking towards him while drawing a card from his sword. On it was an image of Kabuto with a dashing afterimage behind him. He the opened his buckle once again and prepared to slide the card inside. Duce, taking it as Koujin didn't care about anything anymore, pulled the tripped on his Soutenjuu, firing a blue energy beam with a blue glowing rectangular case appearing above his head.

"DiEnd!"

His body was covered in a black body suit with blue sidings. His belt and buckle were almost like Koujin's but his card case was smaller and cobalt blue. His buckle's inner area was also black and had the word "DiEnd" imprinted on the top of it. His knee armor, lower leg armor, boots, hand armor and forearm armor were the same as Koujin but his leg and forearm armor were black on the inner area and blue on the outer area. His shoulder armor and chest plate were bulky and rigged and his helmet was slightly similar to Koujin's as well, just black and blue.

The blue rectangle separated into many individual pieces and fused into Duce's helmet, almost making his blue eye pieces disappear completely. His transformation was then completed and now stood there facing Koujin as Kamen Rider DiEnd. He then drew a card form his card case which had the same multi shot image just like Koujin's but with his Rider form instead. He opened up the card loader on the Soutenjuu's muzzle and inserted the card.

"Attack Ride." – DiEndriver

Koujin, not even slightly fazed from Duce's transformation, continued his own attack by sliding his card into his buckle and then prepared to attack Duce without any hesitation.

"Attack Ride." – Dekadriver

"Don't make me do this Koujin. I don't want to hurt you. That'd only make Shiori cry over you and plus you're my friend. I don't like hurting my friends." Duce's pleas fell on def ears as Koujin quickly closed the Dekadriver.

"Clock Up!" – Dekadriver.

Both Shiori and Duce couldn't even keep up as Koujin began moving at incredible speeds and slashing at Duce's arm, knocking his Soutenjuu out of his hand. Duce grunted in pain as he held his hand and then noticed his Soutenjuu disappear from sight. Koujin then reappeared next to Shiori who was now standing up while trying to spot Koujin with tear filled eyes.

"Clock Over!" – Dekadriver. Shiori looked over only to see Koujin standing there with Duce's Soutenjuu aimed right at her head. He reattached his silver case back onto his belt and prepared to pull the trigger.

"Friend…don't make me puke. You say you wouldn't hurt a friend and yet you hurt me by stealing my girlfriend from me and trick me into seeing you two make out on a monitor." He looked Shiori dead in her eyes and just sighed. "And you, you said you'd never abandon me or betray me and yet here I find out you've been cheating on me for over two months and lying to me about it when I call. Well, I think justice is being called so let me deliver it to you with your new boyfriends' gun."

With that Koujin pulled the trigger. "Blast!" shouted the DiEndriver as it fired a multi-shot barrage at Shiori's head. Luckily for her Duce was just fast enough as he tackled Koujin to the ground, causing him to miss Shiori by just an inch. Duce wrestled with Koujin on the ground, quickly retrieving his Soutenjuu and getting back up on his feet before drawing two more cards. Each card had a Rider image on them and looked powerful.

"It seems I'll need help to take you down." With that Duce slid the first card into the Soutenjuu's muzzle and then pulled the trigger.

"Kamen Ride."

"IXA!"

He then slid the second card into the muzzle and aimed it at Koujin again and pulled the trigger, summoning the next Rider for assistance.

"Kamen Ride."

"Garren!"

The two Riders appeared instantly and aimed their guns at Koujin as well as did Duce. Shiori, thinking more about Koujin's safety than her own, jumped in front of him as if blocking him from their attack.

"Please stop! We've hurt him enough! Just…just leave him alone!" Shiori's tears flowed down her cheeks and Koujin, for some weird reason, returned to his old self.

'Shi-chan?! Why…why is she trying to protect me?' he wondered until he noticed IXA and Garren getting ready to fire while Duce told Shiori to get out of the way. He then felt an impulse in the back of his mind. 'Strange, it's as if I know which card to use and which form is best for certain situations.' With that thought in mind he opened up the Dekadriver and drew a card from his card case. He looked at it and noticed that it was a golden color instead of the usual pinkish red. Plus the image was a golden version of Kabuto's symbol. 'Oh well, I guess I need to use this card.' He slid the card into the Dekadriver as he stepped in front of Shiori and starred the three opposing Riders down.

"Final Attack Ride."

Shiori just looked at him with confusion in her eyes as did Duce. Koujin looked back at her and just nodded slightly, meaning he would be the one to protect her and not the other way around. He closed the Dekadriver, activating his attack.

"K-K-K-Kabuto!"

Red, yellow and blue energy flowed around Koujin's right leg and he charged at Garren and IXA. As he focused on them Duce pulled out a similar card but with a golden version of his symbol on it. He slid it into the muzzle, preparing to attack when there was an opening.

"Final Attack Ride."

Garren and IXA fired a barrage of energy bullets at Koujin which he barely dodged by jumping over them. He got high into the air without touching the ceiling and when he came down he swung his right leg in a forward round house kick while shouting, "Rider Kick!" The empowered kick hit home as both Garren and IXA were destroyed and sent back to their cards. Koujin landed on the ground and took a deep breathe, not even realizing the danger next to him. Duce, finding the right moment had snuck up on his left and aimed his Soutenjuu as Koujin's head. Shiori did only one thing.

"Koujin! Look out for Duce!"

"Huh?" Koujin turned his head to his left only to hear the last words he would remember as Duce pulled the trigger.

"Sayonara…Decade."

"D-D-D-DiEnd!" Everything after that would be a blur for Koujin as the powerful blast hit him dead center in his head, sending him into a wall. The last thing that would happen would be Koujin drawing one final card and opening the Dekadriver while he shifted back to his original Rider form.

Koujin slid the card into the Dekadriver and then closed it as he headed for the door, holding his head. Duce fired at him but would hit nothing as the Dekadriver activated the power of the last card Koujin would use on the day that he would lose his memories.

"Attack Ride."

"Invisible!"

Koujin disappeared and left, leaving Shiori to worry about him. She fell to her knees while her crying became worse. She looked at the door with tear filled eyes and stammered his name for a moment before calling out to him.

"K-Koujin….Kou…jin……KOUJIN!!!!!!!"

—————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————

(1 week later)

Outside the ten great cities of the world rested the slums. These places were called slums as they housed the people who didn't pass the test of being allowed to stay in the cities. Thus these slums became cities themselves. Located on the Eastern coast of North America, located in a desolated town in the state once known as Florida, was now the slum town where people gathered. This slum town was known as New Tokyo; a place of mostly Japanese people but with a few other nationalities as well. The slums had homes, markets and many weird and odd jobs that helped people get by. Unlike the big cities, the slums had no Riders to defend them from the monsters so they lived in constant fear.

Along the remaining beaches walked a young girl with her pet Rottweiler. This girl had short blue hair and was wearing a white dress where the skirt reached her knees and on the front was a picture of an angel. She held the dogs' leash in her left while holding her sandals in her right. The sun was setting fast and she just stood there with her feet in the water, letting the waves wash over them while enjoying the sunset. She just sighed happily until her dog started barking.

"Huh, what's wrong Leo?" the girl asked her dog. She looked in the direction that Leo was looking in and noticed a body on lying in the water with the waves washing over it. "Uh-oh, this isn't good." She ran up to the body to see the red headed figure of a young man. She kneeled down and placed her fingers on his neck to check for a pulse and sighed in relief at finding one. Setting her sandals down she gently shook him, trying to wake him up. "Hey mister, are you ok? What happened to you? Come on mister, wake up?"

The young man began to budge and moaned slightly as he slowly pushed himself up with his right hand while holding his head with his left. He rubbed the sore spot on his head and then looked around to see the girl kneeling next to him. "W-w….who are….who are you?"

"My name's Mari. Mari Higurashi. Who are you and how did you end up here in the water on the beach?" The young man rubbed his head as he tried to remember but found himself coming down with a migraine from the process.

"I-I…………….I don't……I don't remember. I don't know who I am or how I got here." he answered her in a confused and pained tone.

Mari thought about this for a second and then got an idea. "Well, do you have any identification? Like a wallet or something of the sort. If you have that we may just find out your name."

"I don't know, I'll look." The young man stood up and then felt around his shirt and pants, looking for some sort of I.D. He first found a digital camera in a case attached to his belt. He took it out but noticed that it was badly damaged. 'Well, this is useless. I'll keep it though just in case I can find a way of fixing it.' he thought as he returned the camera to its case. He then felt his back pocket and noticed a lump on the right side. He slipped his hand into the back pocket and pulled out a wallet. Flipping it open he found an I.D. card with a name and picture on it. He looked at his reflection in the water and then back at the I.D. to see if it was him. Sure enough it was.

"So, what's it say?" Mari asked a little impatiently.

"Well, I guess you can call me…Koujin. Koujin Daniels."

"Well it's nice to meet you Koujin-oniichan." Mari said with a smile. She then got another idea. "Hey Koujin, since you can't remember anything would you like to come stay with me and my family?"

"Oh, I wouldn't want to impose on you and your family." Koujin said while trying to nicely decline her offer.

"Oh nonsense. My family owns a small restaurant down town. You can stay with use and work there until you regain your memory. We could use the help anyway." Koujin smiled and then just nodded, knowing he wouldn't win the argument. "Alright then, it's settled. Now let's go h—" Mari was cut off when a monster that looked like a black skinned bipedal warthog with stain glass markings on its body appeared out of nowhere and growled. "Ahhhhh! It's a Fangire! We need to run Kou—" she was cut off again when she saw Koujin summon a white buckle from out of thin air. He placed it in front of his waist and allowed it so fasten itself to him with a black belt strap.

He tugged on the handles and opened the Dekadriver and then reached over and drew out a card from the silver card case on his left side. He held the card in front of him, showing the image on it to the monster. The monster saw the card and recognized it immediately.

"D-DiEnd?!" Koujin flipped the card around and showed the back of the card to the Fangire. "Huh, you're not DiEnd!"

"Henshin!" Koujin slid the card into the Dekadriver and prepared for a fight.

"Kamen Ride." Koujin pushed the handles back in, closing the Dekadriver.

"Decade!" The familiar grey afterimages and the nine Rider symbols appeared and fused into Koujin, transforming him into Kamen Rider Decade once more. The red energy rectangle formed in the air and infused into his helmet and turned the grayish parts of his armor into a pinkish red hue, completing his transformation process.

Mari looked on in awe as Koujin now stood before her as a Kamen Rider. A being that not many of those who lived in the slums had a chance of meeting. Even more he was one that had no memory of his past which made him even more interesting. She would keep this part about him a secret from everyone else she knew.

"Wow, you're a Rider. But how did you know how to transform or that you even could?"

"I don't know really, I was just acting on instinct I guess." The Fangire charged at them and Koujin just waved at Mari. "Sorry, we can go home in a moment. Just let me handle this first." Mari just nodded as Koujin charged at the Fangire as Decade.

The Fangire lunged at Decade with a right hook which Decade dodged easily by using his left arm to knock it out of the way before delivering four well aimed punches to the Fangire's chest and then a powerful knee thrust to its gut, knocking backwards on its butt. Decade then opened up the Dekadriver and drew a card form his card holder. He then inserted the card as the Warthog Fangire got back up and staggered back away from him by a few feet.

"Attack Ride."

"W-who…who are you?!" the Warthog Fangire demanded from Decade.

"I'm just a passing through Kamen Rider. Remember that." Decade said as he closed the Dekadriver and took the card case and converted it to gun mode.

"Blast!" Decade fired a barrage of gun fire at the Fangire, causing sparks to fly off from its body and causing it to stagger backwards even more until in fell down on one knee. Decade then drew another card, this time a gold colored one, and opened up the Dekadriver once more.

"Ciao." Decade said while tapping the card against the buckle before slipping it in.

"Final Attack Ride." He close the Dekadriver and aimed his gun at the Fangire.

"D-D-D-Decade!" Six large golden energy card resembling his final attack card shot from his buckle and set themselves between him and the Fangire.

The Fangire looked at Decade through the cards, seeing its doom at hand. Decade pulled the trigger and sent a powerful blast through the cards which gained strength with each card. The energy blast turned into a full powered energy beam which engulfed the Fangire and destroyed it, shattering it into hundreds of stained glass shards and destroying its soul as well.

Decade the returned the gun to its case mode and set it back in his belt as the Dekadriver opened on its own and returned the Henshin card to Decade, reverting him back to his human form. Koujin looked at the card before setting it back in the card case. 'The Dekadriver, the card case known as the Decabooker, Decade, these seem to be the only things I can remember from my past.' Koujin thought as Mari and Leo ran up to him.

"That was amazing Koujin." Mari commented him which Leo agreed to with a bark.

"Well thank you." Koujin looked at the sky and noticed it was getting dark. "Come on, let's get you home." With that Koujin returned with Mari to her home where he met her parents and older sister Saiyo. Upon hearing about how Mari had come across Koujin on the beach and how he had no memory of his past they decided to let him stay. He would also end up working at their little restaurant to help pay his way at the home.

As with any story there are many chapters and many trails. The rest of Decades journey will be told in time as we now skip ahead to the present which is one year later. We have learned how Decade came to be in the human realm but what his destiny is and what his future holds is still not yet clear. He will face many other Riders down the road, making friends, allies, and enemies and gaining new powers along the way.

Toku Warrior: Well that's chapter 1. Please R&R. Expect each chapter to somewhat follow the episodes of the series but also for some other minor misadventures as well. Until the next time all you need to know is that this is just a passing through Kamen Rider fanfic. Remember that.
