LAST REVISION: 18/03/2010

Hi there minna! Welcome to the world of Eclipse! Unlike most OC Rider stories, this one doesn't actually focus on my OC, nor any character in particular. (However, there is a running gag involving a certain character, but you'll only know what I'm referring to later.)

Right, character profile:

Eclipse

Real name: Kouji

Age: 20

KR forms: Dawn, Dusk, Eclipse (Each possess their own personalities) (He is unable to switch forms mid-battle)

Polite & courteous, Kouji looks up to all his seniors but sometimes will not hesitate to correct them. Obsessed about organization of everything. He often protests against the name "Kamen Rider" since he doesn't own his own customised motorcycle.

… And that's all you need to know for now.

This is my first Kamen Rider fan fiction, so I'm still a little amateur at this. So please go easy on the flames!

Disclaimer: All I own is my OC. I definitely don't own the Kamen Rider franchise.


Chapter 1

Dawn panted from inside his helmet as he paused to reconsider his current plan of attack. The Badger monster flexed its sharp claws as it growled at its enemy, awaiting a chance to stab it with its dagger-like claws. The black and white fur bristled as it charged ahead towards Dawn, baring its teeth and raising its huge arms to strike. But before Dawn could roll to the side to dodge, something strange happened.

Out of nowhere, a grey plane of reality-bending material appeared and threw out 9 (mostly) red figures. They seemed to fall right out of the sky and landed on each other in a huge pile of red people.

Using his sharp sense of hearing, Dawn heard someone from somewhere at the bottom of the pile plead "Agito-san, sorry for the trouble, but can you please move your arm? It's currently in a rather uncomfortable place..."

Kamen Rider Eclipse: The Chronicles of the Lost Riders

*cue theme music

We now fast-forward to an old, abandoned warehouse.

"Wait, so all of you are from different worlds?" Kouji asked, not believing that alternate worlds really exist. He was also puzzled by the way they called each other by code names. Strange ones they were. The one who introduced himself as Agito nodded his head.

"Yes, we are Kamen Riders from 9 worlds who have fled to escape from the merging of our worlds. We wish to remain in your world while our 10th Rider saves our worlds, Koungouji-san."

Kuuga smacked Agito at the back of his head. "Stop calling people Koungouji, Agito-san."

"Whoa, chottomatte. Don't you guys have proper names?" Kouji sighed.

Kabuto rolled his eyes. "Of course we do. For example, this weakling," he dragged Den-O by the red muffler he was wearing ("Ack..."), "is known as Friday the 13th and this guy," he grabbed Ryuki with his free hand ("Oi!"), "is Bakka Mcmuffins."

As Ryuki brushed off the dirt Kabuto left on his jacket, Kiva stepped forward and smiled gently as he bowed slightly to Kouji in apology. "Sorry for my comrades' behaviours. May I know what your role in this world is?"

Kouji rubbed the back of his head as he tried to summarise everything. "Well, I'm more of a monster hunter, capturing rogue monsters and releasing them back to where they belong. People call me Dawn or Dusk but really, you can call me Eclipse."

"Eclipse... interesting." Hibiki chuckled lightly as he placed a hand on Kiva, who stared at him in confusion. "Please ignore Kabuto's behaviour. He may seem arrogant and act like a jerk, but he's really a nice guy once you get to know him."

Groan. "If you guys have names, why not use them?"

"It's more interesting that way." With that, Hibiki gave a mock salute and walked off.

Later...

"Wait, you want me to do what?"

Faiz gestured at the 9 customised machines behind him, one of which had toppled. ("Yo Den-O! Denbird's down again!") "Park them somewhere while we set up our headquarters. You can do that, right Eclipse?"

Kouji growled in frustration. "And what makes you think I can ride a motorcycle in the first place?"

Faiz cocked an eyebrow and surveyed Kouji from head to toe. "You look like a Kamen Rider, why not?"

"Look, I've told you guys before, I'm not a Kamen Rider. I'm just a monster hunter."

A passing Blade stopped and asked, "A... Kamen Hunter then?"

"Ugh... I give up. Call me whatever you want. I'm going to park these bikes." With that, Kouji dragged his feet towards the first bike and started the engine. With a roar from the engine, Kouji set off to search for a suitable and secure place to store the bikes.

Faiz smirked. "It would seem he CAN ride a motorcycle after all."

"... so he's a Kamen Rider Hunter? Hunter Rider? Or a Kamen Hunter Rider? Oh wait, that doesn't make sense..." Blade stared at the sky while still carrying an armful of fragile objects.

Just at that moment, Den-O came rushing past. ("DENBIRD!") In doing so, he startled Blade, causing him to drop everything he was holding and the fragile glass shattered, flying in all directions. As luck would have it, a shard of glass flew and punctured Denbird's tires. Both of them.


I know, this is short. But keep in mind this is like a series of one-shots, somehow connected to each other. Please R&R! Criticism appreciated, but no severe flames! That means you, Hibiki.

Hibiki: Dang. And for a moment there I thought I could at least help Kabuto with the cooking...
