Hi everyone, welcome to my first story I made and I actually wanted to create this a couple of months ago, but never got around to do it. I hope you all enjoy this story, because this was inspired by subterra59 and his story and also inspired by ShadowBladeKnight,hope you check them out as well.
Also I don't know much about anything of Ever After High so in order to update more chapters, I'll need some help from all of you in order to keep going including help with what I'll write in the next chapter.
Note: I do not own Kamen Rider and EAH. All rights go to the respective owner(s).
Anyways, enjoy the story.
Every story always has meaning from the beginning to the to tell life lessons,to scare others for fun,or to simply tell old legends from times where most have the most common of all stories is fairy tales, where children listen to before going to bed and where they can imagine the lives of the characters in the book and fills them with the wonders of imagination,magic and fantasy alike into their hearts and never stop smiling.
But most of these stories always begins with the tale of a hero who stops the villain, protects the land, and save the damsel in distress and then live happily ever after, but not all end happily, nor after.
For you see,many people who reads stories of the most famous people, real or fake, can desire to what they want or become what they wanted from the beginning: to either
become rich,
to be the star,
to have everything,
to gain power,
to be famous,
or simply… become the hero.
Most who have finally gain their hearts desire think they finally have what they always wanted and becomes filled with joy, but in reality it's the ones who granted the desire gains the most joy while the victim falls under their own curse of their desire and regrets it until the day they die.
One tale tells the story of beings who are able to grant them ever since one king wanted power and created beings that have powers and abilities that no one can believe: the manipulation of Gravity, the power of Elements, the ability to Clone into an entire army, incredible Speed, and the powers of the Sun.
However, they became sealed with the king,in fear of becoming even more powerful,and were long forgotten until the day they were released back into the world and ready to cause destruction and mayhem everywhere in order to achieve their ultimate goal…to become whole.
And so, one person will take the mantle and be chosen to become a warrior,that grants him/her the powers of the very beings, to stop them and save the thus we begin the tale of one boy,whose life changes forever, when he stumbles upon a new world and became a warrior known only as…Kamen Rider OOO.
This is where the story begins, and where a new legend is born…
-The Tale of OOO-
Chapter 1: New World, New Legend (Part 1)
The city streets became crowded with many people going on their way to work or to go somewhere to spend their whole day of the crowd seem to not give a care about life but themselves, and nearly everyone in the crowd go past a homeless man sitting in the sidewalk near a building who holds out a plastic cup, meaning he wants at least a bit of cash to make it,but barely the crowd even pay any attention to him and simply went on with their day.
"Here you go" a voice said and filling the cup with a $5 bill and going on his way,making him happy and wave to him a 'thanks'.The voice came from a boy who looks to be around 17 years old, with medium brown spiky hair, with light ivory skin and light blue eyes while wearing glasses, wearing a red shirt with a black star inclined on the upper left side and a leather jacket, underneath the jacket has a watch in his left wrist, and wearing dark pants with a belt that has a round silver belt-buckle and white sneakers with blue lines on the side with gray laces and a blue and black backpack on his shoulders while having earbuds on his ear listening to music.
This boy is named James Carson, a heir to his family's fortune and soon-to-be million dollar company but he only wants to be treated normally like many others and not treated with high loyalty and even helps others that are in need and reaches his hand to them.A simple,yet rich,boy who holds out his hand to others so that they can enjoy their future.
James began walking through the crowd and even squeezing through to go wherever he's people were walking past him,they glance a few eyes at him and some whisper that the son of the CEO and millionaire David Carson,is walking in the streets in public and not in some kind of limbo or rich car.
They even thought he would have his own car.
Through his earbuds, he can hear them but he decided to shrug them off and continue his walk,since he deals with stuff like that a lot,but gets annoyed at what they keep saying .'Jeez, I wish they can leave me alone. I just want to live normally like everyone else, but I guess this is what happens when your rich' he one hour of walking, he arrives at a park nearby and goes to a nearby bench to sit to rest for a bit and sees a ice cream stand and heads to it, walking past a few people nearby who glanced at him.
"I'll have one scoop of strawberry please" he asked "say~,aren't you James Carson?" asked the ice cream seller. "Yes I am" he said, "then one scoop of strawberry coming up,and on the house too" said the employee and began preparing his ice cream,then later giving him his order and he thanked him and left.
While gone, others that were nearby began whispering to one another and look at where he was going because of his appearance in the the girls close by start fantasizing about him, waving at him, and all wanting to be with him, even some wanting to marry him.
As he was walking back to his bench, he was going to have lick but was interrupted when he hears someone crying. He looks to his left and sees a little girl with short brown hair with a pink clip on the right side of her head,wearing a small pink dress and white shoes, crying about her ice cream fell to the ground, and what a coincidence, its strawberry.
His eyes soften at what he's seeing 'aw poor girl' he said in thought. He looks at his treat an decides to give it to her. He goes to her and hands her his ice cream "Here" he said. The girl stopped crying and looks up to see James handing her his ice-cream, turning her frown to a happy expression."Thank you!" she beamed. She grabbed his treat and went to the right. As she looks her running, he said in thought 'A long as she's happy, its enough for me'.
He then sees her going to what seems to be a fair "huh, I thought it was going to be tomorrow" he said out loud to himself "well, might as well do something" he heads straight to the fair, unaware of someone looking at him behind a tree far away.
Once inside, he sees all different kinds of attractions,and foods each around the world. Everywhere he looked had all sorts of entertainment, the good-old classic and some new he doesn't even know of. As he walks around, he stops in front at a booth that sells different kinds of jewelry and looks at the different kinds they have, until he spots a necklace with a red gem and a black phoenix symbol in the center.
"Anything caught your interest?" the female merchant said.
"Yeah, this one" he grabs the necklace and shows it to her. "Ah, I see~…what you have is the phoenix gives the wearer the sense of courage and strength to overcome the obstacles in his wish to buy it?"
He nodded and payed her,still unaware of someone standing behind a tent looking at him walking away.
He grabs the necklace dangling around in his collar, remembering the merchant's words regarding the trinket.
'Courage and strength huh?.Hmm…if only I had this years ago' he frowned, remembering about what happened-He shook his head to forget about it and continued his tour around the fair.
Before any thoughts came into mind, he stops in front of a purple tent with a sign at front that says 'Mystic Fortune'." Mystic Fortune?" he asked himself out load.
He wasn't fond of the supernatural and superstitions,he always thought they're nothing but fake and stupid, but he wanted to have at least some form of fun and has enough time relax before heading home (which is a mansion, but prefers to say home. You know, to be normal) so he decides to give it at least a try and enters the tent and sees what every typical fortune tent would have; a rug in the middle with a small round table, 5 lit candles around the inside, shrunken heads hanging in the back and a small dresser with a rug on top of it, various paintings hanging around the tent, a teapot and cups on a table at the back, and a red box at the entrance.
"Whoa…" said a surprised James,fascinated at the décor. of the tent.(If you call it great décor.)
"Hello," James screamed and looks back to see a person in a purple robe, with the hood completely covering his face.
"U-um…h-hi…" said a startled James.
"Welcome to my tent young boy, where you'll the experience the wonders of magic and mystical powers here." The man spreads his arms like wings and refers to his surroundings.
He heads behind his desk, "So…care to know your fortune?"
"U-m…n-not exactly, I was just ."
"I its quite teens like you are always curious about things like these." He waved it off. "So, what brings you here?" asked the fortune teller.
"Well, I just wanted to see what all this is about.I'm not really fond of the superstition.I think they're all nothing but stupid,no offense."
"I see…but aren't you even curious about it a little…maybe even what it can bring you…?" said the fortune teller,in a rather discreet way.
"Nah…this whole type of thing isn't really my thing.I rather stick with things that are real and not fake." James frowned.
The fortune looked 'disappointed' about it."Very well…but-oh I know,how about… a wish…?" he 'grinned'.
James looked rather confused at what he said…a wish? "A wish…what can that do,there's no way wishes can be real…?" asked James, now suspicious of his offer, even though he doesn't believe in magic but he has a gut feeling that something's fishy.
"Oh trust me,it best part about it is it can be granted…you just got to me…have you ever wanted something in the past that you couldn't get, like say fame, fortune…or love?" This made James very weary about him.
"N-no…I mean, I don't want anything ever since-" he trailed off and began remembering about that 'day'.
"You are to stay here and take over the company."
"But I don't want to."
"Look out!"
"MOM DAD!"
He shook his head, to forget what happened.
"Hmm… it seems whatever happened in your past must've been traumatizing…" Now this got James out of his mood and looked at him with curiosity and confusion.
"How did you-?"
"Most who had bad experience in their past always have that look in their face, am I right?"
James frowned,knowing that it'll be pointless since he'll just keep saying about it and won't stop 'till he gets an answer.
"Y-yeah…" he answered
"Well…then why not write a wish…" he offered him a pen and a red piece of paper." And maybe see whatever you wished for will come true?" he 'grinned' widely.
James wasn't intrigued by his still has doubts in whether all this could be real, but was tempted to do it for some reason.
"S-should I…I mean I don't even believe in this-"
"Every myth and legend you hear from then and now are real. After all, there's a reason why they exist in the first place. So tell me boy…do you want. To make. A wish?" his 'grin' grew even 'wider'.
James was still tempted, and yet he couldn't just accept it. But he did have a wish back then after what happened, but never actually thought much of the wish. So he just forgot about it.
"W-well…" James said, as the fortune teller is now getting 'eager' to hear his respond."W-well…alright." This now made him 'happy' to hear his response.
James grabbed the pen and paper, and began writing his wish:
I wish for a new life.
"Now…place the paper inside the box." He gestured to the red box at the entrance. James headed to the box and places it inside, getting a cold feeling all over his body.
"So that's it?" asked James.
"Yes, that's …" he goes over to the back of the tent and grabs a tea pot and pours it on a cup. "…care for some tea?" he offered.
"Oh, well…" he rubs the back of his head, "well sure why not." He grabs the tea and takes a sip, while the fortune teller had a 'grin' in his face.
"Hmm, this is pretty is it?" he takes another sip.
"Oh its just a…family recipe"
"Well, it sure is-ugh" he places his hand on the side of his head and started getting dizzy and wobbling around.
"Is something wrong?" his voice echoes in his ears and James starts getting sleepy.
"I...don' .so-"he then faints on the ground and slowly began losing his consciousness. He looks up to see the man in front of him, looking down at him before falling asleep.
"Don't worry boy," his eyes began glowing bright red underneath his hood, "your wish…will be granted" he chuckles, in a deep tone. And those were the last words he heard, before everything became black.
Female Narrator: Ah, Book End. A land where fairy tales co-exist with one another and where the descendants of the famous characters will attend the school of Ever After High.
Male Narrator: Yes, a school where the children will go to, in order to uphold their legacy for every future to come… along with where a young boy will arrive in order to protect everyone there from the Greed?
Female Narrator: Dear, what are you talking about? It doesn't say that.
Male Narrator: Actually it does. Look.
Female Narrator:Huh?* reads script* what the- how did it changed?
Male Narrator: I don't know. First it was about this and now it became this now.
Female Narrator: *sighs* well guess we have to stick with this then since we can't do anything about it.
Male Narrator: Guess so. Say why not get Brooke, she might like this.
Brooke Page: Already here mom and dad, since the moment you said boy.
Female Narrator: *raises eyebrow* are you sure? Or did this boy, you barely even know of, catch your interest?
Brooke Page: *Looks innocent* hmm… may~be?
Female Narrator: *sighs*
Male Narrator: Lets just continue with the story.
Night began to dawn as a nearby forest, most likely in a new world, that is filled with many different plant life, and houses every kind of animals from bears to owls, including some that are mostly found in myth and legends or doesn't even exist, live. All of the creatures in the forest began to head off to their homes and shelters to get some good night's rest and wait for a new day to begin.
Nearby, a couple of deer's were running with one another to their home, when one of them stopped in track, and was left behind from the group. He looked to his right and saw an abandoned temple in ruins, that looked like it was from centuries ago and has seen better days.
The deer was 'curious' about it and headed to the , the deer looked around and saw everything lying in ruins and in worse conditions than on the deer then sees a large ancient box in the center,and heads to animal began to sniff it,unaware of a pile of coins with a red coin next to it, behind the box.
The coins began to shake, then started floating in the air and began to pile up into a shape of an 'arm' started slowly crawling to the top of the box, which startled the deer a bit.
The deer tilted its head and looked at the arm crawling to the center of the box, confused at what it is and what its doing?
The arm got ahold of a piece of stone in the center and twisted box began to glow brightly, as the deer stood back from it, worried of what's going on.
The box then turned into a huge swarm of medal coins that started flying, knocking the red coin into the air through a crack that fits the coin and started rolling to who knows where on its own. The deer became scared and started running out of the temple in a swarm then split into four clusters and each took shape and form of human-sized creatures that resembles either animals or insects.
The four creatures began to walk outside and looked at their surroundings, only to see that there at a forest, and not where they supposedly were.
"Uh…where are we?" asked the beast-like creature, scratching his head in confusion.
"Hmm, yes I don't recall the castle being in a importantly, we seem to be missing our Core and Cell Medals," Said the female fish-like creature, looking at herself.
"What?! First we don't know how we ended up here and now were missing our core medals?! There's no way our Core Medals could be gone and off to who knows where?! Yelled the bug-like creature.
The tiger-like creature stretched his arms "I saw Ankh holding onto them" he answered.
All the other creatures looked at him "What?!"
"Grrr…if that's so, then I'll make him pay!" yelled the bug creature, while the tiger creature kept stretching his arms.
The beast humanoid looked left and right until he spotted something in the distance."Hey! me found something." he pointed something for the others to see. What they saw was a city with some lights still on far away in the distance.
"A , we'll start there." The four creatures then started moving towards the city, unaware of a red arm hiding behind a tree watching them leave and left. During the walk, the tiger humanoid saw to his left a lizard with insect-like wings that ate a small moth in one bite and fired a small stream of fire into the air and flew away.
'interesting' the tiger humanoid amused in thought. Wherever they are, it'll be interesting for him.
Inside a building elsewhere, a man with combed black hair,wearing a red business with an apron on and next to him was a woman with black hair tied in a pony-tail wearing oval-shaped glasses and a white dress shirt with a pink jacket and a white skirt that reaches to her knees and pink high heeled man was baking a cake on his desk singing Happy Birthday, while writing a couple of words on top of the cake, with a screen next to him that shows the four humanoids walking through the forest.
"Happy birthday,Greed" said the man as he finished writing the words 'Happy Birthday Greed ' on the cake.
Elsewhere inside an apartment building in the city, in one of the rooms was a girl who is shifting in left and right in her bed, experiencing a nightmare in her sleep.
'Prepare for all of you…to SUFFER!'
'NOOOOO!'
*The axe then was swung at her at a fast paced with the latter roaring.*
'RRRRRRAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!'
*They were all blasted with a huge purple explosion and everything went black*
She shot up, eyes wide open and gasping for air as we get a good look at 's has long purple hair and white pale skin. She looks around to see she's still in her looks at her clock and sees its sighed and eased her breathing as she went back to bed, hoping she won't have another nightmare.Hopefully.
But what she thought while sleeping was that, it wasn't like her usual nightmares she keeps felt more like a vision than a dream.
Sunlight got in his eyes as he was starting to wake for a bit, he sits up and yawns as he stretches his arms until he heard his bones pop.
He rubs his eyes and his vision became clear as he saw a bunch of animals: deer's, bunnies, squirrels, raccoons, birds you name it.
James looked rather scared and confused on two things.1) where exactly is he? And 2) why are there a bunch of animals around him.
"U-uhhh…" all the animals around him were only staring at him, which made him uncomfortable.
James stood up and dusted himself, now the animals getting a bit closer to him.
James looks at them, wanting to know where he's at and hopefully he's still at home, so he decides to not waste time with them." A-alright…s-so~, if all you guys don't mind if I-"the animals then began to spread apart, letting him leave.
Jason saw this and thought 'Huh, guess they they do' "Thanks guys." James began to leave, with the animals watching him leave.
As he was walking, he looks around not only believing he winded up in a forest, but that the guy put him to sleep and put him so much for wishes becoming true.
"Tch, that's the last time I'll ever listened to a fortune teller," he frowned," when I see him again, I'm gonna 'flipping' kill-wait? Did I just say 'flipping'?" he clears his throats "Hex" his eyes are wide open at what he ever he's at must've changed his vocabulary, which makes it worse for him in a way.
"This better be a hexing dream" James sighed at what happened and what he said (and doesn't make sense).
Before any thoughts came into his mind, he sees something on the grass that's glistering in the goes up to it and picks it up only to see it's a red coin with yellow rims and symbol of what appears to be a hawk.
"A coin…why is there a coin here?" he asked to himself shrugged and pocketed the coin in his jacket pocket.
Floating behind a tree, a red arm was looking where James was 'clenched' his hand, angry that a kid has his core medal and taking it to who knows thing's for certain,he needs to have his core medals back. The arm flew to the direction he was going.
After a long distance, he made it out of the forest and stumbles upon a city, but what was strange to him was how the buildings looked. In all his life, he never expected to stumble upon a city this colorful along with seeing the names the businesses have.
During his walk, he receives glances from people passing by. They're all were either confused of who he is, from where he came, and even the girls who saw him have immediately fell in love with him. Seriously, most of the girls he passed took notice of him, were all amazed at him. They were swoon, daydreaming,and waving him 'hellos' as he pass got him nervous and a bit annoyed since it's just like at home: girls falling in love with him the moment they lay their eyes at he got used to it ever since.
Before anything else came into mind, his stomach stated sighed,placing his hand at his stomach,needing food since he didn't ate anything for at least…a couple of hours maybe?
He looked around until he spotted a teashop by the name of Wonderland's Haberdashery & Tea Shoppe.
James blinked at what the name of the shop was, more importantly the first word;Wonderland.
"So I'm guessing its themed after Alice in Wonderland? Hmm…never thought they would have themed café's here about books." He shrugged and headed straight to the shop, unaware of a 'welcome' mat a few steps in front of him. As he made one more step, he stepped on top of the mat and opened like a hatch and he fell straight into the ground, screaming all the way, with the mat closing itself.
(5 min. earlier)
Inside the shop was 2 people, one is a girl sitting in chair while drinking her tea. The girl has long curly and wavy hair with 3 different colors: dark turquoise,mint green,and blue teal clothing and hat are all tea-cup themed to match the wonderland theme. This is Madeline Hatter A.K.A the daughter of the Mad Hatter.
The Mad Hatter was almost done setting up the tables, and throwing the plates and napkins to all the tables from the ceiling through the walls, upside and down.
"There all done!" he exclaimed, patting his hands "Now everything's all set!"
"Yep! But now the question is…who's going to help you run the shop since I'll be gone" said the daughter with curiosity "There's no way anyone's sane to come here, remember the last 15 employees"
The father hummed in thought and grabbed a tea cup and tea pot out of his hat "You're I'm sure 'someone' will work here" he said and began filling the cup with tea.
"Are you sure?"
"Absolutely-Positively my dear!" he takes a sip before stopping and realizes something "Wait! Where's the welcome mat? I forgot I left it somewhere"
"I thought you had-" she was interrupted when a welcome mat appeared, out of nowhere, between the two and opens to only see a boy popping out of it screaming.
"AAAAHHHH!" screamed James as he crashed onto the floor. He grunts for a bit as he slowly gets up, getting dizzy from the crash, with 'birds' flying over his head. He shook his head and regained sense and saw the birds flying over him and starts swatting them off.
He gets up and dusted his clothes off "Ok, what kind…of…" he trailed off and looks at his surroundings "W-where…am I…?"
"You're at my shop!" James looked back and sees 2 people, a girl wearing what looked like some kind off tea-pot theme and the next person was possibly her father, but he got a better look at their attire and were both… themed from Alice in Wonderland.
"U-uh hi" he helloed nervously at the 2 people, and its because he thinks they're into the book and are crazy or weird, or both.
M.H grabbed his hand with both hands and shook it,pretty fast making him wobble "Thank you!Thank you!Thank you! Thank you for finding my welcome mat my dear boy!" He holds up the mat in front of him.
This made him even more nervous and a bit scared, along with confusion that the mat brought him here "U-uh…y-you're welcome…?" 'Well this is interesting.' He said in thought.
The girl giggles madly, no pun intended "Let me guess, you were down the street and you fell down a 'trap door' and wind up here, huh? She asked
" did you-?"
"It happened to 15 people." She smiled.
'15 people?' James he's at, his life will forever change.
The father looked at James at curiosity, no doubt he hasn't seen him around before "Say~ whats your name…?"
"James Carson"
He pats him on the back "A pleasure to meet you James. But uh… what story do you come from anyways?"
James got confused at what he said, but he wanted to know where he's at. But it looks like they are his only option "Well…" he rubbed the back of his head.
And so he started explaining the 2 of them about how he got here.
On a sidewalk, walking down was a boy with short spiky black hair, brown eyes, a white buttoned up dress shirt, a black jacket with the hoodie on, black pants and black shoes, with his head hung down. Angry that he failed at stealing a simple gold necklace dangling in someone's pocket. The necklace was easy to steal and yet he failed.
"Grr! Every time I find something valuable and try to take it, it goes WRONG no matter what!" he yelled.
Every attempt he made always ended badly.
Whenever he tries to shoplift in a store-FAIL
Whenever he tries to switch something real with the fake-FAIL
Whenever he tries to bribe-FAIL
Fail
Fail
Fail
Every attempt always fails or backfires.
No matter what he tries, he can never succeed. You see, he's a thief and thieves are supposed to get away with stealing without getting caught, but he never got any training and always winds up in jail.
He stopped his ranting and looked in a jewelry store window and sees every kind of jewelry: from rings to necklaces, watches to bracelets. His mood immediately changed into a joyous mood seeing all that glitters in the store. But later turned back into a frown when he remembers he'll just get caught again.
He left looking at the window and started walking with his head hung down. All he ever wants is the jewels, the gold, the treasure and become known as the most successful thief. That's all he ever wanted but never succeeded in accomplishing his desire.
His desire for riches.
"So that's your desire" a voice called out. The teen startled and looked back to see a bug-like humanoid walking up to him.
The teen fell back on his rear, scared at seeing this monster in front of him.
"W-w-who or w-w-w-what a-are y-you…?!" sputtered the teen.
The bug creature holds out a silver coin in his hands, "Someone to grant your desire…" he walks up to him as coin slot appeared on his forehead, making him frozen in place. The creature inserted the coin in the slot and a green portal appeared on his back and a mummy-like creature crawled out of it and stood up, growling like a zombie "Your desire shall be fulfilled."
The teen blinked, he looked around and saw that the monster is gone out of his sights. He got up and dusted himself off, "I definitely got to get some sleep…" he told himself.
He started walking, wondering what kind of dream was that and wondering what to do about getting gold, while the mummy started heading towards the jewelry store.
James explained to the Hatters about his arrival here and ending up in a forest, even explaining to them a little bit about himself. They were surprised to hear that he comes from a rich family and thought he was royalty, but it was sort of true since his life was basically all royalty.
They even wondered why he wears the clothing he has, and it was because he told them that he doesn't wanted to be treated with all that much respect and even lends a hand to people in need, which made them happy to hear that someone in a high-class family helps anyone.
As James told them about him, the Hatters introduced themselves and explains to him that he is at the Village of Book End, a place where very fairy tale characters co-exist with one another, including their sons and daughters of the characters. This caught James interest, since he winded up in a world of fairy tales, but wondered why here and not somewhere else instead, but oh well; what you get is what you get.
"A world nothing but fairy tales…" James said, taking a sip of tea the Mad Hatter prepared
"Amazing, fantastic, magical, and wonderful?" Madeline said, finishing his sentence as she stops sipping her tea.
"Y~yep."
"So James, you told us about yourself. Why not tell us about your world? Is it like ours?" asked the Mad Hatter.
James shook his head making the 2 surprised "Nah, my world is…well basically less magical and more about work, money, and the 'future' they all keep saying. In reality its nothing but business and about themselves, more than what they should really care about. Same thing happened to me, my parents never really cared about what I wanted to do instead only cared about the future of the company."
"Hex, they even arranged a date with someone I don't even care about and thought it was a good idea."
Both Hatters looked at each other with sympathy looks. Couldn't believe that the world he lived in was terrible. Even thinking about what kind of parents he has that doesn't care about they're own child and even planning his future without a word from him.
"Well~," M.H said changing his mood back to happy "How about you work here? He offered
"Really?"
He nodded "Of course! After all, you have nowhere to go don't you? So why not you stay in the guest room in the meantime?"
"Well~ alright" he nodded. The Hatters were happy at his answer.
"Oooohhh your just gonna love it here!" said Madeline happily
"Heh…I know I will."
The Mad Hatter ponders "Say don't you go look around and get acquainted."
James pondered and thought it was a good idea. Since he did wind up in a new world, he thought this might give him a chance to look around.
James nodded " of which, when does this place open?"
The Mad Hatter grabbed a HUGE clock out of his hat and checks the time "Hmm, in 2 hours. So I go now if I were you, oh and just to let you know the time here is always wrong." Exclaimed the Hatter.
"I'll keep that in mind" he nodded but in his thought 'note to self: make sure my watch is set correctly'
Madeline waved him a goodbye "See ya James!"
James waved goodbye and walked outside and began his look around.
Meanwhile, at the same jewelry store, inside customers were buying some jewelry they caught interest in. Each they bought were either for themselves or as a gift for someone else to show them love.
As they were all continuing with their shopping, a window burst open and jumped in the same mummy from before, and started bashing the displays while roaring.
The customers screamed in panic and headed to the back of the store while the mummy grabbed a pearl necklace from a display case and begins swallowing it in his 'mouth'.
He did the same to the other jewelry nearby him and began twitching until all of his wraps fell off of him and revealed a mantis-like human/monster with a pair of small mantis-like blades on his hands and the customers screamed even louder from its appearance.
The monster looked to his right almost as he sensed something and hopped out through the window.
On the sidewalk was the same girl from the apartment walking down with her head lowered and sadness in her face, now wearing goth-like clothes with dragon scales,feathers,chains,jewels,and spikes too. (Don't know why the author didn't say her name in the first place though) this is Raven Queen aka the daughter of the Evil Queen. Mostly everyone thinks that she is evil like her mother, but in reality she's a kind and caring person who doesn't want to harm everyone but most think she'll do.
Apparently her destiny is to be the new evil queen and poison Snow White in the future, but doesn't want to become like her and wonders what happens if she does become like her.
She even has nightmares of her turning into her mother and unleashing chaos and destruction around the land with her friends in the middle.
Speaking of dreams, she was still left wondering about the dream she had last night. Most dreams she ever had were about her dark future, but this time it was something different.
The dream felt real to her, almost like a her dream was a bit blurry and couldn't make out except seeing a couple of people she doesn't know and an axe swung right at her and a purple explosion at the end.
The axe she couldn't make out what it looked like but the purple explosion couldn't have been her, so it must've been from someone else but who?
Before any thoughts came into mind, she hears a window crashing. She looks up and sees a mantis-like humanoid jumping out of a jewelry store and skims his head around almost as if he's looking for something.
"I smell…a Core Medal" he lifted his right blade and jumped in the direction he was facing.
This made Raven confused at what she saw. A mantis humanoid popping out of the store and hearing that its after a…Core Medal? She wondered what he meant by that? So she ran where the mantis was jumping at, which got her out of her mood.
James started wondering around and looked at the many buildings there were, each were all themed after the fairy tales he know about.
It's been nearly 1 hour from his walk and starts getting thirsty. He looks around until he spots a vending machine on the sidewalk.
He walks up to it and sees all sorts of different selection, red,blue,green,and yellow with different animal symbols in each one.
Whatever kind of company made these drinks must be exotic since it has animal grabs his wallet from his pocket, only to see that its empty.
'What?!' yelled James in thought, confused why he doesn't have any money on him. His wallet was full of money and now…its not.
"Ugh, great. Just great, now what am I gonna do?" he wondered out load and remembered about the red coin he found. He took it out and wonders it can count as currency but he doubts it'll work since its not like any other the machine looks like it only accepts coins.
"Hey cutie~!" James looks back and sees a group of girls walking past him as they were waving at him and then giggled holding their hand's in their mouth. They were possibly princesses from their stories.
He decided to be a gentleman and waved them a 'Hello' at them. Then he focused his attention back to the vending machine.
Before he can of anything else, he felt a tap on his shoulder.
"Oi, give it back!" a voice said angrily.
"What are you talking abo-" he looks back and only sees a red arm flying in the air in his eye level reaching his 'hand' out, "I said give it 's mine!"
"AAAAAHHHHH!" James screamed as he fell back, with his leg raising high up to the leg and hit him, flying back a bit from the hit.
He looks up and sees the arm slowly floating down to him with his fist clenched "That hurts you know!" he stretches his hand out again "Now, give me back-"
"AAAAAHHHHH!" James screamed again as he stood up and began running away.
"Oi, get back here!" the arm screamed as he starts chasing James.
James looked back to see the arm flying behind him, unaware of a random place mat in front of him. As he ran a couple of steps, the place mat opened and a glass elevator appeared which James ran into it, without knowing it. He crashed onto the doors and fell back. He sat up and saw the doors open up to reveal Madeline popping her head out of the elevator.
"Hey James!" she exclaimed, stepping out of the elevator.
"Madeline!" he said happy to see got up and ran to her, " I need help!"
She tilted her head in confusion "Why, what's need some tea?"
James shook his head frantically "N-no. There's this flying red arm that's-!"
"OI!"
James startled and saw the red arm now behind him and now 'mad'.
"I had enough games, boy" he grabs James by the collar of his shirt "Now give me back my Core Medal!"
"C-core Medal?" he wondered out load.
"James! You stole something from a cursed arm?!" gasped Madeline.
"N-no, I didn't steal anything from anyone!" exclaimed James, getting the arm off of him "and secondly, I found it first. So its mine." He argued.
"Well too bad. I dropped it when I was getting out of the castle!" the flying arm. But the real truth is that he forgot about it and didn't knew where it went until he detected its energy and followed finding out that James has his Core Medal.
'Castle? What is he talking about?' James thought. While Madeline was busy sipping tea, seeing wondering how it'll turn out.
Before any other thoughts came into mind, the arm grabbed its collar again " Now hand it over or-!"
"A Core Medal"
Another voice was heard, as the three of them turned to the source and sees a mantis-like humanoid walking towards them.
"Hand over the Core Medal " the mantis humanoid said.
The arm got in front of the two "Get lost. The Core Medal's mine, not yours!" he yelled.
The mantis humanoid's blade's began lighten up and 5 blade silhouettes appeared and floats in the air.
"Then I'll just have to take it then." He sends the silhouettes straight to the two teens, but the arm got in the way and started getting hit by each one, sparks casting off.
The humanoid stopped as it recognized who the arm was " Y-your… Ankh!" he said, almost shocked.
' Ankh? ' the two teens thought simultaneously.
"I said stay out of it!" said the arm, now named 'Ankh', flew towards the creature and began fighting it, but was losing and was grabbed by the creature and thrown to a nearby wall, leaving a hole in the wall.
The creature walked to it, and James ran up to him to save 'Ankh'.
"James!"
James ran behind the creature and got ahold of him "Leave him alone!" but the creature got a hold of his collar and threw him to a table nearby, with Maddie heading behind a table for cover seeing the action going on.
He slowly got up and grunted by so much pain he's in. The bug walked up to him slashing his blades together, ready to end him, until they heard a voice behind them.
"Halt!" they looked back to see a man that looked like in his 20's with dark messy hair, green eyes, and wearing what appears to be a silver knights armor.
The knight grabbed his crossbow from his back and began shooting at the monster, but each arrow he shot broke into pieces. This made him angry as he sent a few slashes at the knight, each causing a small explosion and the knight blown back.
He slowly got up, until he fell back. His life no more.
The two teens were wide eyed as they saw what happened, but for James… anger was all over him, he is not letting him hurt anyone else. He clenched his fist and went up to the knight to grab his crossbow, loaded it up and began firing at the monster.
"That's enough!" he shouted firing more at him.
But each shot was useless as the monster starts walking towards him, until a fireball got in between.
"Leave them alone" they looked back to see a girl with pale skin, long curly purple hair, goth-like clothes with scales, chain, spikes, and jewels, around his age.
"Raven!" cheered Maddie.
James looked at Maddie 'She knows her?' he said in thought.
Raven summoned a couple of fireballs and launched it towards the mantis, but it did no effect as it only made it more angry.
He launched a series of slashes at her at fast pace, but James luckily managed to jump in and grabbed her out of the blade's way.
Raven held onto her head as she regained sense when she realized she's not standing anymore, but rather now in an embrace of James strong arms. Now time seems to have stop as the two of them are now staring at each other in their eyes. Almost deep.
"A-are you alright...?" James blushed a bit.
"Y-yeah…" blushed Raven.
"Look out!"
Their moment was interrupted when the monster sends a slash at them, with James covering Raven for protection, unaware of her blushing from it, but Ankh got in front of them and blocked it.
They look up to see the arm saved them. Now the 2 teens are face to face with one another as they realized they're still holding each other's arms and blushing from it, then letting go.
"Tch" Ankh scoffed at the two.
"Guys!" they looked to see Maddie running up to him "You all alright?" they both nodded.
"Ankh!" they all looked back to the creature "Why are you helping humans?"
Ankh turned his attention to James "Hey kid, what's your name?"
The latter turned to him "Um…James Carson" he answered
Ankh hovered around him "James 'stupid name if you ask me' you've actually impressed me, for an idiot that is, but impressed me. I'll tell you how we can get out of here alive."
A glow dimmed below Ankh as a stone slab fell before he grabbed it.
The mantis creature looked like it was shocked from seeing it. "Is that…the Seal?!"
Ankh places the stone on James waist as it glowed and shattered, turning into a black-and-blue belt with 3 slots and a silver the right side of the belt, was a round scanner-like device and on the left side was an oval container.
The 3 were surprised at what Ankh had put in his waist.
"My hand held more than just Core Medals" he waved a finger at the mantis humanoid before looking at James "James, if we all want to make it out alive,then your gonna have to fight him."
"F-fight him? Seriously?" he asked nervously.
He held out the red coin along with 2 more, a yellow and a green one "Use these 3 core medals…" gestures them to the belt "and place them here"
"Don't listen to Ankh. You'll pay a price for using it." He said, slowly walking towards them.
They looked at Ankh , while the 2 girls looked at James worriedly about what'll happen to him.
"Oi," Ankh grabbed James cheeks to get his attention "It's better than risking our lives here. So hurry up and do it…" he 'clenched' his hand into a fist "Henshin"
"No!" yelled the mantis humanoid.
James looked at him then at Ankh and at the girls, then back at Ankh and nodded "I may not be in my world," he walks up in front of them "and I may not know much about whats going on. But I do know one thing: I'll make sure that everyone are safe from monsters like you, and I'll reach out a hand to everyone in need, so that they can live on for their own future." He flips the red coin in the air and catches, places the red coin on the 1st slot and grabbed the green coin with a grasshopper symbol, placing it on the 3rd slot. Finally grabbing the yellow coin resembling a tiger and placing it on the middle slot, then tilting it.
Ankh went to the right-side of the belt and grabbed the scanner.
"Use this" he gestured the scanner and hands it to him. James grabbed ahold of it, and a noise started echoing from it. He swiped the scanner through the belt, each medals being 'scanned' until fully swiped through, with his left hand raised up.
"Henshin"
James then began to get surrounded with spinning colorful medals, with the images of the 3 medals on the belt in front of him: the Hawk on top, the Tiger in the middle, and the Grasshopper on the bottom before combining into one crest.
TAKA! TORA! BATTA!
TA-TO-BA! TATOBA TA-TO-BA!
Then the crest flew back to his chest and became enveloped into light, then materializing into armor.
First was the helmet. The helmet was black, with the faceplate red and resembled into a hawk spreading his wings. A red crystal is located on the forehead becoming the hawk's beak, Along with huge green bug-like eyes.
Second is the torso. The bodysuit armor was black as well, with having rounded shoulders with yellow lines and running down to the sides of the arms with the forearms having becoming armored and turned yellow while holding folded claws on top.
Third is the legs. The legs were all in black and the forelegs only had green armor, making it resemble somewhat of grasshopper legs. The red line running down from the lower jaw in the head, and the two green lines from the pair of legs going up to connect in the crest in the chest with the 3 symbols of the animals combined.
The girls were awed and amazed to see James enveloping himself in armor and becoming a warrior that resembles like animals.
Maddie's eyes were now the size of plates "So cooooool!" she squealed, placing her hands together.
"Wow…" muttered Raven in amazement.
James looked at himself as he places his hands on his 'helmet' feeling every inch of it and looked at his arms, torso and legs at what he transformed.
"What?!" yelled the mantis creature in disbelief.
"Yeah, just what I was hoping for."
"W-what just what d-did the song say? Taka? Tora? And Batta?" asked James.
Ankh flied next to him "Don't worry about it. You became OOO. Now all that's left is to fight him."
James nodded as he went charging straight to the humanoid as Ankh and the girls saw him running at him.
'OOO' Raven thought.
Meanwhile with James, he headed to the monster as he reeled his fist back as the sound of the tiger is heard, and launched his punch with the claws unfolding in his arms and punching/slashing him, sparks casting off and the bug-like creature landing on his back.
"Whoa" he looked at his arms, seeing the claws unfolded until the humanoid got up and started attacking him but James raised his arms to block his attack.
He then shoved the humanoid back and struck him across the chest as he bled silver coins.
James and the girls took notice of it "Huh…? He's bleeding coins?" James asked Ankh.
"Cell Medals." He corrected "And look behind you!"
"Huh?" he responded as he looked back to see the humanoid already standing and slashed his chest a couple of times, making him fall back as the yellow part on his armor starts fading color.
"James!" Ankh called out to him as he presents a second green coin "Switch the middle one with this" he threw the coin at him.
He caught it and took out the center medal, looking at the two in his hands for a bit, and placed the new coin in the center and swiped the scanner, then moving it to his chest.
TAKA! KAMAKIRI! BATTA!
The yellow center now turned into a light-green color with the animal symbol in the middle changing into a praying mantis and his arms having mantis-like blades.
"Yosh" Ankh said, clenching his fist, and the girls surprised at the armor changing a bit.
"Grr… hand over the Core Medals now!" yelled the bug-like creature, charging at 'OOO'.
The mantis-blades folded into his hands and slashed a couple of times at the charging creature, making him fall back and more Cell Medals spilling out in the process.
The sound of a Praying Mantis sounded out as the blades glowed; James squatted down and jumped straight at him.
"Seiya!" he yelled(for some reason), delivering a upward cross strike at him, sending him flying back and exploding into a pile of Cell Medals.
He looked at the medals raining down on the ground when he looked to his right, hearing the girls calling out to him.
"James!" he looks back and sees the two of them running at him
"James that was so cool!" exclaimed Madeline
"Y-yeah that was…amazing." Raven nodded, holding a blush.
"Heh…it was nothing" James chuckled as he rubs the back of his head.
Before they continued with their conversation, James's eyes widen as he realized he forgot 'someone' "Wait, Ankh!" he realized, forgetting about the floating arm. The 3 teens looked around until they spotted him flying next to the knight's body.
"Hmmm…This body will do" he starts slowly floating down to the knight's right arm as he then became fused with it, covering it, and lifting up the body, as the teen's eyes were wide open witnessing it.
"I've found the perfect body for me." The knight's eyes were open as the body now glowed blue before it dimmed as his head appearance changed, along with his messy black hair now turned into a blonde color and combed over, covering his right eye. "Now…" he said before his voice changed "I can move easily."
The 3 teens were all shocked in seeing the arm now in possession of his body, and they weren't the only ones who were witnessing all of it, including the beginning of the fight; before and after.
Behind a corner of a wall, is a biker riding on top of a black-metallic motorcycle with his helmet covering his head, the shades covering his face.
On the ground next to him was a pile of red silver cans with Hawk symbols in the center. He grabbed one and opened the lid, the can now transforming into a red hawk and squawking, with the rest doing the same and starts flying straight to the group, with them being unaware of it.
To be continued…
Next time…
"To put simply…we're known as the Greed. We are what grants you humans of your desires." Said Ankh, holding his arm out.
"Is this really my destiny?" questioned Raven, looking at the mirror seeing a distinct reflection of her in royal clothes in front of green fire.
"I'll do what it takes to protect people no matter what. After all, I reach out my hand to the ones in need." Said James, confidently.
Well that's it for the first chapter of "The Tale of OOO" hoped you guys enjoy it.
Now like I said in the beginning, I haven't been able to create this because of RL and I don't know much about EAH, so in order to keep going I need some ideas on what to write, how I should write the characters and the interactions, and what Yummies should go to who and born from what desire.
Anyways hope you guys enjoy the story, leave a like and review and I'll see you guys on the next chapter.
