A Devil's Saga: Reach for the Skies.
A young brown haired boy was watching the scene of an old man being taken away by the police. The elderly man had shown some things to children that were not supposed to be shown. In other words, the old man spoke to many children as his audience the greatness of breasts through picture story shows, thereby dirtying their young minds. He had been in the park for a few days, teaching his "oh so great" ideas to children.
The child fortunately, didn't fully understand it since his parents dragged him away before he could be corrupted. The police also arrived on time to prevent the man from poisoning the minds of kids and arrested him. Just when the old man kept flailing in the officer's grip, screaming to the kids about "the greatness of oppai", a barbed, red whip shot out of nowhere and embedded itself into the old pervert's neck. He convulsed and cried out in agony as the color of his body faded away and became a husk that was as clear as glass.
The officers dropped his body in shock. Upon hitting the ground, the old man's body shattered into glass fragments.
Completely terrified, everyone in the park begun to flee from the scene. Some of the adults that fled had crashed into the boy and his parents, separating them.
"Issei!" The mother yelled as she tried to reach out to her son amidst the moving crowd.
"Mom!" The boy, now known as Issei, reached back. But he froze in fear upon gazing at the old man's assailant.
Its stance was humanoid, but its appearance was more like a frog's. Its body color was mostly green save for the multicolored stained glass patterns decorating its body. A pair of wide, large, red eyes sat on its face, frequently changing direction in sight. Its hands were large and webbed. A large pouch that was a lighter shade of green from the rest of the body rested directly below its mouth. Soon, a red barbed tongue extended past its lips and shot forward, whipping any civilian that was within range. Soon after, many pairs of translucent, lifeless bodies collapsed to the ground and shattered.
"Huuuuu...Man. All that life energy really his the spot." It said in a satisfied tone. As it did, images of a human's face appeared on the glass patterns. "Really, I will never understand why that poor excuse of a King wants us to give up on eating Humans."
Just as the monster was creating a new pair of fangs, Issei just stood still, fear paralyzing his legs. Said monster took this chance of weakness and shot out its tongue at the frozen child.
"Issei!" The parents yelled out as they ran their son. Before appendage could make impact the child, his mother and father shielded their son from the attack. The color of their bodies quickly faded and dissolved to nothing as they fell forward.
Isse shook out of his stupor from the sudden revelation.
"Mom! Dad!" But just as he reached out and simply brushed against their bodies, they shattered into pixels of glass.
The brown haired youth couldn't hold in his shock as he collapsed onto his knees. He slowly brought his arms over to the clear fragments, as if he were almost afraid to touch them. But when he finally grasped a shard in his hand, he felt no warmth. Only sharp coldness. He was so immersed at what he was holding that he failed to recognize the monster right next to him until the last moment. He caught a glimpse of the beast and quickly scurried backward in fear. The monster brought it's arm up to strike the boy.
Issei braced himself and closed his eyes, awaiting his end. Only it never came. He slowly opened one eye to see the monster knocked a couple meters away from him. He hesitantly stood up and turned around, only to see a man in his late twenties wearing what appeared to be a mechanical knuckle duster on his fist. He had neatly combed black hair and a hard facial expression.
He was wearing a white shirt, jeans, a black blazer, and what appeared to be a black belt with a mechanism in the center that was colored black and gold with a red stone in the center. On the sides were two black and gold cases that held small whistle-like objects. The left case had one colored blue, green, and purple, while the right case held silver, black, and gold ones.
"Who are you, mister?" Issei asked the man.
But the latter just turned to him with urgency in his voice saying, "It's too dangerous here. You must hide." While Issei was reluctant at the order, he soon complied as he ran away from the scene and hid behind a row of bushes. But he was still able to see what was taking place.
The man turned to the Frog-like creature. "I won't let you devour any more lives."
The man took the black and gold knuckle-like object that had barrels on the end and pressed it into his free palm.
R-E-A-D-Y! the device let out a blaring alarm sound.
He then extended his arm to the side. "Henshin!"
He brought his arm back over his chest and slid it onto the belt.
F-I-S-T O-N!
From the buckle, a gold cross piece appeared and spun rapidly around the red jewel before flying off a short distance away from the man. The cross stopped mid air as it generated a suit of armor with the cross as the faceplate. When the equipment was complete, it rushed back to its user and covered his body before turning solid.
The black haired man was now donned in a black body suit covered in rounded armor plating. The white plating covered the outer and inner sides of his legs from the knee down, hips, outer part of his arms, and part of his upper torso; all having a blue outline up to the portion of plating around his chest. He had a silver chest plate with a red circle surrounded by curved lines to symbolize the sun.
The upper portion of his shoulder guards were white while the bottom outer layer was golden. His hands had pieces of black armor that protruded out a bit as a form of knuckle dusters, while his thumbs had white armor. His face was covered with a white helmet that had a silver mouth plate. The gold cross faceplate had a slit in the center in order to see, as well as a small diamond shaped that was colored blue resting on his forehead.
He was now Kamen Rider IXA Save Form.
"It can't be…IXA!?" The monster gaped.
'IXA?' the young Issei thought as he watched from his hiding place.
"Fangire. Return that life to God!" The armored man, now known as IXA proclaimed. But it only enraged the beast further.
The monster, now labeled as a Fangire, charged at the Kamen Rider. IXA took out its weapon which was a cross between a sword and a gun. It was mostly black, with a golden set of wings on either side of the hammer. And one those set of wings was a red circular jewel. The grip of the gun seemed to be a bit long as it extended a bit over a foot past his hand. But it changed as the long handle shorted and the blade extended from the top of the hammer. IXA slashed at his opponent the moment he was within range. He continued the attack with a spin hook kick and punching the monster in the face.
The Fangire roared in anger and swung its claws overhead. But IXA parried the strike aside before swinging diagonally, cutting the Fangire across the chest.
He threw a couple more punches to the Fangire's face before kicking it away. He followed up by changing the IXA-Calibur to its gun form and started shooting.
But the Tree Frog Fangire just weaved around the bullets, closing in on the white armored man. However, before it could even touch him, IXA's cross visor split into four segmented pieces before moving away from the eyes, leaving two red eyes where the parts once were. Upon doing so, a burst of heat energy erupted from the armor, pushing the Fangire away while damaging it in the process.
The man was now IXA Burst Form. He rushed at the staggering monster and slashed it twice after returning his weapon back into its sword mode. He then roundhouse kicked it in the face.
He took out one of the whistle devices on the right side of his belt and inserted it into a slot on the buckle.
I-X-A K-N-U-C-K-L-E: R-I-S-E U-P! He grabbed the knuckle duster part of the belt with his right hand before removing it.
Just as the Fangire was about to make another charge, but when it was within a good distance close to IXA, he brought his arm back before throwing a punch. A charged burst of energy had spread across the monster's body, leaving it in a fragile state. He then brought the IXA Knuckle down and punched the monster, shattering it to pieces.
Seeing that the battle was over, the man deactivated his transformation. He observed the surrounding area to be covered in glass shards or clear husks, signifying the many victims of the monster. But his sight was drawn towards the brown haired boy, who reappeared on the scene, kneeling next to a pile of fragmented glass. He was crying. Once the adrenaline from fear had died, Issei's expression turned sorrowful as he remembered the fate of his parents.
The man walked over to see what was troubling the boy.
"Are you alright?" He asked Issei. But the youth couldn't answer as he gazed sadly at the broken glass pile that was once his parents.
"Mom…Dad…" he sobbed quietly as he held some of the pieces in his hands, not minding their sharp edges.
The man had understood what plagued the boy and his expression became one of sympathy. There are many people, who lose their life forces to Fangires, but it is rare that one of the victims survive as some of the monsters are gluttonous; eating lives to their heart's content. However, Issei had just witnessed the monster devouring the lives of his parents while he remained alive. He put a hand on the boy's shoulder in an attempt to comfort him. But Issei paid no mind to the gesture.
He carefully led the boy away from the shards, much to the latter's reluctance, and they sat on the park bench. Issei remained silent as his gaze was focused on the ground. But soon turned to face the man.
"Mister…What was that monster?" While the question had no emotion behind it, the man could see smoldering rage and hatred in his eyes.
Sighing, he told the boy. "That creature you had seen…was a Fangire."
"A…Fangire?" Issei asked while tilting his head in a confused manner.
"Yes." The man continued. "They are a certain type of monsters, who feed on a human's life force. They shoot a pair of glass fangs at their prey, extracting their life energy."
"Life energy?" Issei couldn't really understand the idea, but he figured out enough. That monster, a Fangire, had killed his parents. "Are all monsters like that bad?" he asked the man.
The latter shook his head. "They used to be."
"Used to?"
"Let me explain. Their race has a system of leadership, known as the Checkmate Four. Their members consist of Rook, Bishop, Queen, and King. The Rook was the hunter. The Bishop was the keeper of the Laws. The Queen eliminates any and all traitors to their species. And finally, the King is the leader, and rules their race. Some time ago, the current king was ruthless, still viewing humans as a source of food. But the Queen at the time fell in love with a human. Enraged by this betrayal, the King took the Queen of her powers and threatened to kill their son if she should be anywhere near the human. However, upon hearing this, the human fought back using IXA…"
"IXA…Like what you just used? How's that possible?"
"Yes. It was IXA, but an older model. As I was saying, the human fought with IXA, but lost." This fact surprised Issei further since he saw the power the rider system held. "However, he managed to use the King's power against him, and with some help, defeated him. Now, a new king rules the race. He is the former King's son. At first, he was walking the same path as his father, but his best friend, who was later revealed to be his brother, opened his eyes. Now he is working hard to create and alternative food source for the Fangires instead of using Humans. However, while there are many Fangires of the newer generation who fully support this plan, there are those who are against it and continue to feed on humans.
"Mister…How do you know so much?"
The man laughed a little bit. "Please, call me Nago. And it's because I used to fight them. And two of my friends are Fangires themselves; not only that, but the current rulers of the race."
"They're what!?" Issei backed up in shock. But the man raised a hand in a calming gesture.
"Don't worry, like I said, they are part of the good Fangires. They only seek perfect harmony between humans and Fangires.
Issei took a while to process all of this. A while ago, he witnessed his parents getting killed. Now he was being told that the assailant was part of a powerful race of monsters that used to devour humans as food, but now changed their ways. It was definitely a lot to take in.
"The one who killed your parents was one of the Rogues of the race. Like I said, there were many Fangire who supported or were against the new decree by the King. So there will be many more like it." Nago gestured to the stained glass shards that were the remains of the killer.
"Nago-san…" Issei started.
"Yes?"
"…Please teach me to fight those monsters!" Issei boldly proclaimed.
Nago widened his eyes from surprise. He is witnessing a child, who doesn't even appear to be 6 years old yet, to be trained by him. And what's more, to fight the SS-class monsters known as Fangires. While Nago was about to reject the proposal, he noticed the flames of determination glowing within the child's eyes. He took a moment to consider this before asking, "Why would you want to fight him?"
"Those monsters killed Mom and Dad. And more of them are going to take more innocent lives. That's why…That's why I can't let that happen!" Issei answered without hesitation.
"But first, we should give them a proper burial." Nago said, gazing at the remains of the boy's parents. Issei nodded and carefully picked up the clear shards.
A few days later, Issei had buried the glass remains of his parents at his old home. After everything had transpired, Nago decided to become Issei's new guardian since he lost his family. He adopted him, and the boy now had the name Issei Hyoudou-Nago. He chose to keep his former identity since it belonged to his parents.
After being adopted, he gathered his things from his old home, including the photo albums as they held precious memories.
He had gotten settled in with his new family. He even had a sibling who was the same age he was. Her name was Yuri, named after Megumi's mother.
Despite living a normal life, Nago trained Issei in combat, and to eventually use the IXA system with permission from Mamoru Shima, the leader of the Aozora(Wonderful Blue Sky) Organization. Issei's first impression was that he was a wise man and calm in just about any situation. He had begged Shima to be part of the Aozora Organization, despite his young age. Shima had listened to the boy's story of how he detests the Rogue Fangires for what they had done, and eventually agreed only on the condition that he grows enough, both mentally and physically. He even told Issei that he would be given the newest model of IXA to combat the Rogues if he has proven himself well.
But besides that, he taught Issei more of the supernatural world. He even introduced Issei to the current Rulers of the Fangire, Wataru, Taiga, and their wives, as well as the few remnants of the Wolfen, Merman, and Franken clans. Before, there was only one of each since they were the last survivors from the previous Fangire King's purge. But now they've found mates and are starting to repopulate their species.
It was during this time that Issei made friends in the two children of the Fangire leaders, as well as the children of the Wolfen, Merman, and Franken clans.
Time has passed. Now Issei had fully inherited a newer version of IXA. Unlike it's version 10 predecessor, this new version had a cloak draped around its neck. And being made of a durable material, it served great purpose as a basic defense against certain formless attacks.
The armor itself also had slight differences with its predecessor. The chest plate now had a golden cross as the background to the red circle. The gold cross face plate also seemed to be sharper on the sides. Overall the armor seemed to be slimmer, lacking some of the bulk the previous model had, especially around the upper torso. However, the armor was by no means weaker. On contrary, it was more durable and stronger than before, using a new alloy and mechanics the Aozora organization developed.
The system's weapons also gained an upgrade. Its new close range weapon was a long, double edged sword with a white blade that had a blue cross at the base. It still contained the red jewel enclosed in a gold cross-hair-like ring on its guard, whose appearance was a blue cross-guard with with blue crosses with silver edging on either side. The pommel was a long and thin diamond-like spike that was colored white with a blue cross covering it as well.
For mid to long range combat. IXA gained a new firearm. It resembled a NCM assault rifle that carried rechargeable ammo at the top, as well as heavier artillery attached to the underside of the barrel. The entire body was colored white with a blue cross branded on the side of the gun's barrel. Near the hammer of the weapon was the word: IXA in blue print.
However, it kept the old IXA Calibur for multi purpose needs. While the first two weapons were more powerful, they lacked maneuverability and option.
Issei, Ryuga, and Masao enrolled in Kuoh Academy during their first year of Highschool. Ryuga and Masao had to suppress their powers of their Fangire blood because Taiga told them that Kuoh was the territory of Devils, and they may want to make them their servants. One of the main reasons they were sent to Kuoh was because there were reports of Rogue Fangires in the Vicinity.
Even though a year had passed since then, they only had to deal with a few Fangire attacks. Fortunately, the Devils in charge of the area failed to notice until it was all over.
In a warehouse four teenagers in similar uniforms were looking around. There were three girls that were wearing a white long sleeved button down shirt which had a black ribbon around the collar, a black corset, a magenta skirt, and brown dress shoes. One girl was in her late teens that had blue-green eyes and had long crimson red hair that reached to her thighs; she also had a black shoulder cape and wore white crew-length socks. She turned to the other teenagers, "Are you sure this is the place where you sensed the Stray Devil Akeno?"
The girl who was also in her late teens, had extremely long black hair that reached to her legs which was also tied in a ponytail, and she wore black knee-high socks just waved her hands. She made a huge smile, "Yes Rias this is the place."
Then the fourth teen spoke, "However I can't seem to detect its presence any more."
Akeno turned to the blond hair boy who was wearing a white long sleeve dress shirt, a black blazer, a black ribbon around the collar, brown dress shoes, and matching black pants, "Just because you can't sense it doesn't mean it isn't here, Yuuto-kun."
"I understand Akeno-san." He then turned to the third girl who looked tense, "What is the matter Koneko-chan?"
Koneko was a short girl who had white hair and hazel eyes. She was wearing exactly same outfit as the other two girls, but without the cape. Also she had black socks on and a pair of black cat-shaped hair clips on the sides of her hair. Her eyes looked at one direction to another rapidly before saying, "I smell something." They were then overshadowed by a giant figure.
Rias stepped forward."Stray Devil, we have come in the name of the Arch Duke to eliminate you." She declared quite proudly. However, she was met with silence. She waited a few moments more, but was still met with silence.
"Um...guys? Is it just me, or is out target too quiet?" The girl asked.
Her friends only agreed that it was too quiet. But her question was answered as the giant figure fell face first to the ground, briefly showing its colorless, translucent body, before shattering into pieces of glass.
Rias was now nervous, the Stray Devil she and her peerage were sent to deal with was killed moments prior to their arrival. Also, she was unsure what method was used to kill it. But was evident that the assailant was still present. Koneko became on edge when she felt killing intent all around them. "Everyone, there is still something here."
"I sense...Devil life forces." the newcomer's voice stated.
"Nice. What a delicacy." another voice agreed.
"After that huge meal, I could still eat." The last one said.
All three figure stepped out of the shadows, to reveal that they were human.
"Humans? What are you humans doing here?" Rias questioned with narrowed eyes.
The newcomers paused. But then erupted into laughter, irking the Gremory Heir and her peerage.
"Ahahahaha! Humans? What do you foolish Devils think we are?" The man on the left asked.
"I agree. You are a bunch of idiots if you are unable to sense our true forms." The man in the center mocked.
"That doesn't answer my question! Who are you!?' Rias demanded, now annoyed, evident with the tick mark on her forehead.
"...Che...I'm going to enjoy devouring that life force of yours if it finally shuts you up!" The man on the right said.
Stained glass tribal markings crawled up the trio's faces around the bottom half as their eyes glowed in various bright colors. Allowing their bodies to be encased in quicksilver as their form changed. Immediately, their silver wrapping broke apart, revealing their new forms, much to the shock of the Gremory group.
The first man's body, who was formerly on the left, increased in size as he grew two feet taller and widened with bulk. His eyes had become blood red as its feet became hooves. Curved horns sprouted from the top of his cranium and a wicked-looking axe appeared in its right hand. Its body color changed to brown, but retained patterns on its body that resembled stained glass. This man was the Bull Fangire.
The second man's new form resembled that of a Chameleon. Its body color was mostly green save for the multicolored stained glass patterns decorating its body. A pair of wide, large eyes sat on its face, looking rather pointed and slightly curved. Long talons rested on each of its hands, and a curled tail sat at the base of its spine. His true identity was the Chameleon Fangire.
The third person's body turned black and white. Light blue and white stained glass patterns were present on its body, with claw-like protrusions extended upward on its shoulders. Its head had no eyes, but had the light blue and white patterns covering most of its face, acting as a visor. Fangs extended from that casing and split in opposite directions near the mouth, which was a fanged muzzle. In its hand was a single edged broadsword with vine-like patterns on the flat of the blade, resembling a wing. His stained glass patterned body and form was evident he was the Polar bear Fangire.
"What are you?" Rias questioned. While she failed the recognize the species of monsters before her, they seemed vaguely familiar.
"Our names won't do any good to prey about to be devoured." The Bull Fangire spoke, his human face appearing on the patterns of his body as he spoke.
"I don't think so!" Yuuto locked swords with the Polar Bear Fangire. He backed up and flashed away at high speed in an attempt to attack from behind. But to his shock, the Polar Bear Fangire matched his velocity and spewed needles from its mouth. Fortunately, Yuuto blocked every projectile with the flat of his blade.
But before he could back up and attack again, the Fangire gripped his wrist and snapped it under the weight of his grasp. The blonde teen cried in pain. But it wasn't over until it parried his blade aside and stabbed his leg, hampering his mobility. The White monster finished this small fight by throwing the blonde Devil at the adjacent wall, creating a sickening crack that echoed throughout the room, signifying his bones breaking.
He slumped onto the floor fully conscious, but unable to move.
Koneko went to help her friend, but the Bull Fangire stood in her way and dropped his ax upon her. She managed to stop it with both hands, but the sheer force of the strike drove her to the ground only slightly. While she was preoccupied on stopping the ax, the Bull Fangire continued by kicking her into the air. In mid air, she flipped over and landed on her feet. But as she was about to turn around, the Bull Fangire smacked her with the side of its ax and drove her into the wall next to Yuuto.
"Yuuto! Koneko!" Rias cried as her Knight and Rook had fallen. But her face scrunched up in rage as she faced the Chameleon Fangire. She charged up a mass of red and black energy in her hand. And when the store of power was built up enough, she hurled it at the enemy, only for it to dodge at the last moment. The blast just kept going and struck the far wall, completely annihilating it.
Just as she was about to charge up another shot, a long tongue extended from the Fangire's mouth and strangled the red haired girl. The sudden deprivation of oxygen broke her concentration. Thus, the mass of destructive magic subsided.
"Rias!" Akeno cried. She channeled lightning magic into her hands, but was interrupted when the tail of the Fangire stretched out and bound her arms together. The tip of its tail was pressed against her neck, the bladed tip nearly drawing blood. It constricted its tail, slowly crushing the girl. Despite it's slim structure, the tail was stronger than an anaconda and python put together.
"Guh..." Both females struggled to free themselves from the bonds. But to no avail as the hold was simply too great.
"Finally. Now we can eat!" The Polar Bear Fangire cheered. His comrades agreed as their materialized their astral, stained-glass fangs, and slowly pressed them into the necks of their prey. They started to suck out their life energy, making them writhe in pain. And due to the extended life spans Devils possess, the Fangires were going to suck them completely dry in about an hour.
Just as they were about to be overwhelmed and defeated, the sound of motorcycle engines caught their attention. Everyone turned toward the entrance to see three motorcycle of various models approach at high speeds. The surprise caused the Fangire's grip on Rias and Akeno to slacken, just enough so that they could pry themselves free.
Yuuto and Koneko also looked up to see the newcomers once they were away from the predator's fangs.
Rias recognized the three teenagers on the vehicles from the times she saw them around campus.
The person on the white Honda Gp bike stepped off and removed his helmet, revealing his familiar short brown hair and brown eyes. He sported a black blazer over a white buttoned shirt and blue jeans. He is Hyoudou Issei.
The man on the red Shadow 750 jumped off the seat and tossed his helmet onto the seat while in a back flip. As he landed, his black hair tied in dreadlocks fell on his shoulders. He was wearing a red Hawaiian shirt over a white t-shirt and baggy jeans. He was Masao Kurenai.
The last man on the white Kawasaki Ninja ZX-14R with stained glass patterns on the side stepped off. He was wearing blue jeans and a simple white coat over a black t-shirt. A black glove was worn over his left hand. He took off his helmet and let his neatly combed hair fall down to his chin. His silver eyes glowed in the darkness. He was Ryuga Nobori.
"You worthless fools dare oppose us Fangires!?" The Bull Fangire demanded. But Ryuga just responded n a cold judgmental tone.
"Funny, all I see are rogues who are endangering the safety of their race by feeding on humans, a devil, and even the heiress of the Gremory clan and her peerage. How do you plea?"
"Endangering!? I was just having a meal! It's the Checkmate Four's fault for starving us!" It growled.
"Nevertheless, the law decreed by the King is final. He made it clear that you cannot feed on humans with a few exceptions. You have overstepped the boundary of Devils' territory and willingly put the Fangire race as a whole in endangerment for the possibility of involving them in a war with Devils by feeding off them." Ryuga spoke calmly.
"The whole lot of them are fools! There isn't even a Queen left, meaning the current King is worthless! Those human loving fools!"
The last uproar caused something within Ryuga to snap, as it was an insult to his father, family, and friends. The teen only uttered one word in response, "Sagark!"
A silver object flew and smashed into the rogue Fangires to push them back.
"Fuwdgorgj Ajkgalg! Ryuga!" It cried, hovering in front of Ryuga's face, allowing the Devils to get a better look at the silver creature. The strange creature could only be described as a silver UFO with red eyes and fangs. The creature had a blue spinning plate on the top of its head.
"Right partner." The creature then flew towards Ryuga and planted itself on his waist; black straps extending from its sides to fasten around him like a belt. The plate on the creature's head spun and it was facing upwards.
Cue: Roots of the King by Tetra Fang
"Henshin." Ryuga pulled out a strange white handle that looked like a key/flute and inserted it into the slot on the side of Sagark's head. He swiftly pulled it out. Stained glass markings also crept up his face.
"HENSHIN!" Sagark spoke as the plate on its head spun rapidly.
The creature then resonated blue visible sound waves around it, Ryuga then became encased in quicksilver and the layer shattered to reveal him in black and silver armor. He wore a full black bodysuit with silver bracelets around his ankles and wrists stretching over his forearms. His shoulders had guards that looked like zig-zag lines that jutted upwards. On his chest was a blue and yellow stained-glass flower pattern. His helmet had blue eyes with a snake's head between them and a crown on top. The white flute, known as the Jacorder, had a thin red blade extending from it now, giving the appearance of a rapier.
"Th-that form! You're..." The Bull Fangire growled.
"Kamen Rider...Saga." Ryuga answered.
Masao faced against the Polar Bear Fangire.
"Grrr...You are a fool to think about facing us." it snarled in agitation.
"Heh...funny. All the other rogues, like you, say the same thing." he laughed jokingly, but his expression grew somewhat serious. "However, it always ends the same way. Me taking you guys down."
"If you think we are like those weaklings, then you're wrong!"
"I'm sorry, but you guys are the ones that are wrong." Masao smiled. "Let's go! Kivat!" he called on his partner. Said creature flew up so everyone could see it. He was a small orange and black bat-like creature with white eyes and a green gemstone on its forehead.
"Yay! Let's party!" Kivat said before flying into Masao's hand.
Cue: Destiny's Play by Tetra Fang
"Gabuu!" Kivat IV bit into Masao's hand, causing stained glass marking to creep up his arm and onto his face. Ghostly chains magically appeared around his waist and wrapped around it before melting and becoming a blood red belt. The belt had slots holding ornate whistles on the sides, 6 in total.
"Henshin!" He shouted.
Masao perched his partner onto his belt as visible sound waves began to resonate from Kivat IV. Quicksilver encased Masao's body, before breaking apart to reveal his new armor.
Masao's new form was clad in a full black bodysuit. The torso armor looked like a silver vest with a high collar and a blood red chest plate that mimicked muscles. His shoulder armor resembled folded bat wings that were held to the armor by thin chains. He wore red armored gloves and his wrists sported silver bracelets. His right leg was covered with a silver iron boot that reached his knee and was wrapped tightly with chains, as if to hold something back. The left leg was unarmored save for a silver bracelet around the ankle. His head was covered with a black helmet with the visor shaped like a pair of yellow bat wings edged in red. In-between the top points of the wings was a red ornament resembling a bat's head. The mouth guard was silver and framed by black fangs.
He was the new Kamen Rider Kiva.
The Fangire's human persona appeared on its stained glass patterns saying, "Damn you Kiva! How many times are you going to fight me?"
Issei turned to the Chameleon Fangire.
"What do you want brat?" It snarled. "Can't you see we're about to eat?"
"Fangire...You have devoured far too many lives. But it all ends today.!" Issei said with confidence. The reptilian Fangire couldn't help but have a sense of familiarity with the brown haired teen.
"And what is a stupid kid like you going to do about it!?"
Issei's eyes narrowed into a vicious glare. "Return the lives you stole to God." From a compartment in his motorcycle, Issei took out a black belt with a mechanism in the center that was colored black and gold with a red stone in the center. On the sides were two black and gold cases that held small whistle-like objects. The left case had one colored blue, green, and purple, while the right case held silver, black, and gold ones. He swung the belt around his waist and it wrapped around him, allowing it to give off an activation tone.
He pressed the IXA Knuckle into his free palm.
R-E-A-D-Y! the device let out a blaring alarm sound.
Cue: Individual System by Tetra Fang
He then extended his arm to the side. "Henshin!"
He brought his arm back over his chest and slid it onto the buckle from the top.
F-I-S-T O-N!
From the buckle, a gold cross piece appeared and spun rapidly around the red jewel before flying off a short distance away from Issei. The cross stopped mid air as it generated a suit of armor with the cross as the faceplate. When the equipment was complete, it rushed back to Issei and covered his body before turning solid.
