Hello, welcome to a crossover between Kamen Rider and NieR: Automata. I honestly have no idea what crazy dream made me write this.
The main Kamen Rider of this story will be Kamen Rider Kikai. That said, I do intend to perhaps put other Kamen Riders in this story later.
This is mainly a 'trailer'/one-shot of sorts. It could take a lot of time for me to continue this later.
Now, onto the story.
What being human really means?
Is the fact about how our flesh, blood, and organs work? Is it about how we are able to 'properly think' unlike the rest of the animals around Earth that mostly rely on their instincts? Or could it be about the fact that we are able to feel emotions and express ourselves?
So many questions…
And yet…
No possible true answer might exist at all…
And what about you? What do you think?
Huh? Not sure either?
Hmmm...
Well, then try to answer me this…
What would you do if one day you suddenly changed? I mean, what if you actually 'stopped being human'?
What if…
Your flesh and blood were suddenly exchanged…
For metal and oil?
Would you still consider calling yourself a person? A human being?
? - Unknown time - Some City Ruins
A large open city almost completely reclaimed by nature. Human activity seems to be completely gone from this area.
The place seemed to be a completely destroyed city that most people would find in these movies and games of apocalypse nowadays.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Crash!* *Crash!*
And right now, in the middle of this ruined place, a battle was happening.
What appeared to several women dressed in black heavy armor with glowing red eyes were fighting against something or someone. These 'women' were all looking to be part of some military organization as well.
They were all wielding futuristic looking melee weapons like katanas and spears.
"Hahahaha! Hahahaha!"
For some unknown reason, they all seemed to be laughing like mad psychopaths. Something was clearly wrong with all of them.
As for their opponent…
"*Pant* *Pant* *Pant* Back off! Or I will turn all of you into scrap!" A young male voice yelled.
It was only one single individual. A young man.
This 'person' was also wearing armor as well:
He was in a black jumpsuit with some golden details and armor around his upper torso, covering his shoulders, arms, chest, and head.
He looked a lot like a sci-fi warrior as his 'motif' seemed to be of spanners, electrical circuits, robots, and machines.
The most striking parts of his appearance were certainly his helmet and the belt around his waist. The helmet had a pair of red glowing eyes with two golden spanners crossed between them, forming an 'X'. The same with his belt, its 'buckle' was a cross between a golden spanner wrench and a golden screwdriver.
This warrior was known as Kamen Rider Kikai. The fighter made with a 'body of steel and a hot heart'!
The belt Kikai was using is what allowed him to be a Kamen Rider in the first place: The Kikai Driver.
Around Kikai, there were several 'corpses' of the black armed women, completely destroyed, with a pool of blood around them. But upon closer inspection, one could see that those women were actually some sort of robots, or to be more precise, androids.
They seemed to look human on the exterior but they were definitely not really human on the inside.
Now, why was this Kamen Rider even fighting against these human-looking machines in the first place?
The answer for that was…
"Rin! No matter what happens, stay behind me! I promise! I will protect you, no matter what!" Kikai yelled, glancing to the behind of him to look at someone he was trying to protect with his life.
It was a 6 years old girl. She had long brown hair that slightly reached her back and green eyes.
She was currently wearing a blue T-Shirt, a purple skirt, and white shoes. Her name was Oozora Rin, a human girl.
She was currently watching, frightened, the fight happening in front of her.
For some reason, these women were trying to get her and her guardian, Kikai.
"Onii-chan..." Rin called Kikai in worry, who just nodded back to her, trying to assure that nothing bad was going to happen to her.
Suddenly, three of the black armed women ran towards Rin with their katanas ready to cut her down.
"Ahh!" Rin screamed in terror.
"Yamero!"
But before they could do something, Kikai quickly appeared in front of them, stopping the blades with his forearms and next kicking them away from Rin.
"Argh! Weren't you YoRHa supposed to protect humans!? What about all that 'Glory to mankind' stuff!?" Kikai yelled towards the mob of androids, but it seemed that his words just fell deaf on their ears.
In response, the three androids just got up while mimicking some zombie moves and poses, looking extremely creepy to the two. They then prepared to attack the Kamen Rider and his little companion again.
"Hahaha! Hahaha!" The three androids madly laughed.
"Fuck… Fuck… How could things actually end like this…?" Kikai spoke as he prepared to keep fighting the androids.
Another android, holding a spear, tried to get Rin, but Kikai quickly grabbed her from behind and punched her face with an electricity imbued fist.
The blow he gave was so strong that the android's head instantly exploded upon contact, with some of her fake blood being spilled to his body.
While he didn't mind this, Rin actually looked at the Rider with some horror in her eyes. She knew and trusted him, but she couldn't help but start to look at him as if he was slowly turning into some sort of killing machine.
"Ha!" Kikai gave an electrified round-house kick, killing more of the androids that got on his way.
At this, the Kamen Rider kept fighting these YoRHa androids, but the longer this battle got, the more tired he would get eventually. He now realized that this needed to end as soon as possible. Because if not, they would eventually overcome him with their numbers.
"Rin! Get some cover! I will finish the rest of these androids now!" He called his younger companion.
"Wakkata!" Rin, snapping back to reality, obeyed him without questioning as she understood the danger of the situation and quickly found a spot to take cover.
As he saw a wave of Androids approaching him, Kamen Rider Kikai prepared to finish them off. Once and for all.
He first activated the Destructo Reactor, the Kikai Driver's switch to execute deathblows. By placing the hand over the left and right end grips, the Driver was now in its deathblow mode and the energy charging will start.
[Fullmetal The End!] The Kikai Driver's voice announced.
At this, Kikai began to generate a large amount of electrified ice energy throughout his upper body.
"Ha!" He then jumps high as the energy transfers to his right foot and solidifies into a large icicle.
*Boom!* *Boom!* *Boom!*
His cold kick successfully penetrates his targets, the androids, causing all of them to eventually explode.
Machines components fly apart to all directions alongside some of the androids' fake blood. Part of the red liquid got on Kikai's armor.
The robot warrior lands on one knee and slowly got up, observing the destruction his attack just caused around.
There were now dozens and dozens of android 'corpses' now burning on the ground amidst the battlefield that this ruined city became.
Noticing that the fight was finally over, Rin appeared from her hiding spot and approached Kikai.
The machine-themed Rider, still covered in 'blood', also approached her, getting on her level.
"Are you alright, Rin?" He asked softly in concern.
In response, Rin simply nodded to him and began to cry.
"I.. I… I just want to go back home!"
She then hugged him, making the armored golden warrior adopt a sad expression under his helmet.
"It's alright… It's finally over, Rin. I won't let the machines or these crazy androids get you. I will protect you, no matter what. I promise… And we will find a way back to home… No matter what." He gently said to her while returning the hug to her.
The two stood there in silence for a moment, still hugging each other.
They have no idea how they ended in this ruined world, where humans died and no longer exist...
They have no idea how and why Kamen Rider Kikai, who was originally a human, even became what he is right now...
They have no idea what the White Chlorination Syndrome nor this crazy war between humans and aliens that happened is about...
But they are sure about one thing: They will go back home. No matter what!
No matter what dangers be waiting for them...

A Kamen Rider Kikai x Nier: Automata crossover:
Kamen Rider Kikai: Automata
Coming someday…
Hopefully...
Kikai: Automata's Trailer - End
Author notes:
Here was the brief introduction of a new idea that appeared in my head.
Somehow, watching the episodes of Kamen Rider Zi-O featuring Kamen Rider Kikai and seeing many video games that featured androids and robots like Nier: Automata, SOMA, and Detroit: Become Human gave me the inspiration to at least create this brief intro.
The story basically revolves around a guy and some of his family and friends as they are all suddenly sent to the world of Nier: Automata.
Once they realize the situation they found themselves in, they all desperately try to get back home while avoiding to die at the hands of deadly machines.
The Main Character, Oozora Yuma, somehow is no longer a human when he reached the destroyed world and completely became an android like the ones from the game, while also retaining his memories as a human. However, unlike the rest of them, he is capable of transforming into Kamen Rider Kikai.
The scene featured in this trailer takes place in the City Ruins location of the Nier: Automata game. It was basically made to show Kamen Rider Kikai fighting to protect his little sister, Oozora Rin, from some YoRHa androids infected with the Logic Virus. Unlike Yuma, Rin actually stayed human for some reason when she arrived.
The androids are all wearing those black armors/suits from the time the YoRHa robots first began to be infected with the virus and went berserk, attacking 2B and 9S.
Yuma and his companions will eventually meet the game characters like 2B, 9S, and A2, befriending some of them while also fighting together against enemies like Adam and Eve.
Well, I hope to somehow complete this story someday.
