DECADE: Reality & Consequences
Note: After reading the Decade fic, 'Kamen Rider: Emergence to Reality' and tinkering a bit with my imagination. This is a fic starring a character based off myself, but IT WILL NOT be like 'Emergence to Reality'. The main character himself will not get help from previous Riders (though they will appear in very crucial battles), he'll have to keep his identity secret in case and he will fight Kaijin from previous Rider series, mainly from the Heisei era.
But remember, this is still fiction. It will not be BASED off my life. S characters will be inspired by friends and family.
On that note, I don't own Kamen Rider, they belong to Toei.
Well, you heard of Kamen Rider? Cyborg superheroes fighting against organizations who created them and being everlasting fighters against injustice? Yea, it's a fun action show. I got into Kamen Rider via the Heisei era and specifically Kamen Rider Agito and then I watched Double and so on... I recently finished Kamen Rider Faiz, my god, that show was depressing and my friend wasn't kidding about how dark it was. But enough about me, you're wondering 'What's the point of this monologue?'
It was a average night at home, my parents were sleeping and I was up on my laptop, finishing Faiz. I was pretty conflicted on how to feel about that series, but I wanted to go to bed. It was late and I needed to prepare for going back to college for the start of my junior year. However, this year would be different... I was happier now. Why? I suffered some mild depression and began doubting myself the past two semesters... but thanks to two friends over the summer, I came out of it and became less moody and more outgoing. Thanks, Sarah and Andy. You were great.
*KNOCK!*
I heard a loud knock at the door of my apartment, my dog barked a bit and I came down to the stairs (lived on the second floor) and opened the door and saw a package which had the name: NEO. At first, I would called my parents down, but I opened it up with little thought. It opened up and I saw the most shocking thing: a jet black, metallic buckle. It had three buttons on both sides, plus the handles were silver in color. It had a diamond-shaped window, accompanied by a circle and the thing that caught my attention the most... the word on the buckle... it said
DECADE
I had no idea how to feel at this point, it didn't look like the Decadriver from Kamen Rider Decade that much, it's almost as though if Decade's gadgetry was given a whole overhaul in terms of upgrading. Plus, I saw a book-shaped device which was gray in color and I just realized, it's the Ride Booker! However, it looked fairly different in design...
'Okay... what the fuck is going on?! I mean, a whole new Decade-like belt and book-shaped device? How the hell did Toei get my address?! I never sent anything to them, in fact, I never sent any response to Toei at all. But more questions still come about... Why did this come to my house? You know what? I got school tomorrow... I'll deal with it later.'
THE NEXT DAY: First Day Back To College
I woke up fairly early and I took out my young dog outside for a walk. It took around 10 minutes to do so and returned home to eat breakfast, saying good morning to Mom and seeing how Dad was still sleepy from yesterday. I took the Decadriver-like thing and put it into my backpack, along with the Ride Booker-thing.
Currently, I am a junior in college and my grades were average at best, but I need to up my GPA to get back my scholarship and then soften financial problems for my parents. I simply took the bus and then the train into New York City, specifically Columbus Circle where I go to school to. I only had one class for today which would begin at 2:45 PM and looking at the time which said on my cellphone, 12:35 PM. I had some time to kill...
Then came time for my first class, Electromagnetics I. It went by fairly quickly and overall, the teacher was quirky in general. I didn't mind it all, it made the class less boring and I was totally gonna need a tutor. I simply met up with some friends at the Student Activities Lounge and played for awhile.
"How was your summer, Dyson?"
"It was kinda boring for the most part. It took me being surrounded by comics to make it through and most of all, practicing with my band. You?"
"Had a bit of summer job and spent time over a friend's house for the last week of August."
"Nice."
Dyson Hernandes was a good friend of mine. I met during my freshman year, he was a comic nerd like me and what made him stood out was that he was in his own band, indicated by his own guitar. He was slightly taller than me, had red hair covered by a fedora. Real nice guy, but can be harsh when pushed and can read people very well.
We were playing a fighting game and suddenly, a loud bang was heard. Everyone in the SAC was silenced by the noise and one security officer decided to check it out. However, a few people wanted to see what was going on... they wished they hadn't seen it.
I ran outside, backpack in hand along with Dyson and other friends and see the following... a gray-skinned monster with a spiked whip fighting NYPD. It looked like a humanoid crocodile, but with a flat face filled with jaws, scaly skin and sharp toe nails on the feet.
"What the fuck..." said Dyson.
"Students, STAY BACK! This is too dangerous for you!" said one police officer who kept firing on the gray-skinned crocodile man. But it seemed very familiar, but suddenly the crocodile man formed a single-edge sword and slashed at several police officers who stayed away from his range.
Then I realized, it was the Crocodile Orphnoch! Worst of all, he was an member of Lucky Clover, the elite Orphnochs from Kamen Rider Faiz. Those police are in trouble. From pure memory, this Orphnoch can regenerate from any attack that would kill an Orphnoch. Most of all, this guy was a very skilled fighter...
For those who don't know (Kamen Rider watchers/fans, ignore this segment), Orphnochs are monsters who are supposedly the next stage of human evolution. Enhanced physical attributes, senses, energy blasts, regeneration and their greatest ability: "siring". They stab humans through the heart for a chance to "sire" them into new Orphnochs. However... it's a low success rate. But you wanna know something worse? These guys can assume human form!
It looks like I have no choice. I decided to run back to the SAC and other friends decided to do the same... I ran through the front door and found the nearest bathroom. The best part, it was empty and I pulled out the Decadriver and thought to myself...
'Monsters! Tokusatsu monsters! Real! There has to be an explanation for this. There has to be! There has. To. Be. Okay. Okay, just keep calm. Keep calm. Alright, DecaDriver. Do your thing.'
I fastened the Decadriver around me and it just fit, but I decided to put a hood over my head in case, I don't want to be identified and most of all, both monsters and friends won't know who I am. I had my backpack on, ran out the door and saw the Crocodile Orphnoch getting closer to the door. Students in the lounge area were cowering in the corners and I heard the following...
"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT GUY DOING?!"
"He's gonna get disintegrated!"
"Do you have some death wish!?"
I tried pushing that to the back of my head, I simply pulled the handles outward, causing the center-piece to turn clockwise, revealing a card slot and a whirring sound began playing and it said the wham line
KAMEN RIDE!
Another mechanical sound started playing, I responded. I held up the card and said
"HENSHIN!"
I slid the card in, set the device into its original and position and out came another wham line
DECADE
Every student in the lounge area was stunned, streams of energy were around me and I found himself surrounded by that energy and I saw himself seeing through a visor, specifically two gold lenses. The Orphnoch saw me and was stunned and simply said the phrase
"Decade... the Destroyer of Worlds."
"Wrong Decade."
"Then who the hell are you?!" said the Crocodile Orphnoch.
Remembering what I saw on the package, the word NEO and then realizing this is a new version of Decade's gear, I said with confidence while pointing a threatening finger
"Call me... Neo-Decade."
"You know what I am, Neo-Decade?"
"Yea, an Orphnoch. Specifically, you're a member of Lucky Clover. I seen how you fought before..." as I took a Boxing-type stance. The Crocodile man took a combat stance in response. Every student was stunned to see me in armor, but they stayed silent. The Orphnoch simply struck first with a fast jab, but I managed to parry it! It made no sense! I did practice martial arts, but that was a long time ago! But I just went with it, I then used a clinch strike, hitting Mr. Crocodile in the face and momentarily stunning him, then I went for a flying knee strike in the face.
"How are you-" I just interrupted the Orphnoch with several punches into the face, then a front kick, sending him outside in the street and unfortunately breaking the glass door. Man, I have to be careful next time.
The Orphnoch responded by forming serrated swords out of nowhere... I tried dodging, but I got hit pretty badly and was sent into a car. I quickly dodged an overhead strike, then stunned him with a punch in the face.
'Need a sword!'
Suddenly the Ride Booker attached to waist opened up and sprouted three Rider Cards. I recognized one of them, it was Faiz! The other one was actually Faiz's second form: Accel Form and another one was apparently some giant-ass butterfly sword... In a moment of impulse, I choose the Faiz Card and opened up the Decadriver.
KAMEN RIDE
Just insert the card in, then closed the Decadriver and it said
FAIZ!
I transformed into Kamen Rider Faiz... I knew the appearance I had. I'll give it a short summary: I had gray chest-plates, black spandex-like pants and arms, accompanied by red accents, plus gray armor on wrists, knees and feet. My helmet had twin yellow lenses, small red antennae on top and a small mouth-plate which had a triangular design, almost like teeth.
"FAIZ GEAR?"
"Not exactly... pal." and I wanted to finish this fight, I decided to flip the Decadriver and insert the Accel Form Card inside and then flipped it back to its original position and it responded
FAIZ ACCEL!
The metal chest-plates opened up and revealed a circular center, plus I became fully black, accompanied by white lines and accents. I pressed the Axel Watch, almost as if it was instinct. It said "START UP" and everything became a blur after that, I rammed into the Crocodile monster at the speed of sound and went on a chain punch and then ended up with a uppercut.
"Now for the finisher."
I jumped in the air, then used a overhead two-fist attack, slamming the Orphnoch into the ground. From what it looked like, he seemed KO'ed... in five seconds, he got back up again and decided to retreat for now.
I was exhausted at that point, but at least that Orphnoch retreated and then I heard the countdown...
3...2...1
TIME OUT
I reverted back to me, plus still having the hood over me and thankfully, no one saw me and I decided to run for the time being mainly around the other building and hopefully, no one was following me. I simply walked normally and went around the block and went back into the main building, specifically in the library.
I thought to myself
'Hopefully no living soul saw me, I would be in hot water by then... but I need to focus on the positives: I'm done with classes, the first day of classes went very well and I got to hang out with my friends. Overall, today was decent.'
Unfortunately, that would last only three minutes. Several of my friends came running into the library, panting, even Dennis' new friend who earned the nickname of Cheshire.
"Yo, Victor! Did you see Neo-Decade kick that... monster's ass?"
"Uh, no. I just hid like any other person."
"Are you sure? Where were you in the last 20 minutes?" questioned Cheshire.
"I was in the bathroom, why?"
"Just asking."
"Oh, yea. Did anyone get a clear look at the guy?"
"No, he just wore a hoodie, a dark-colored one, plus some cargo pants. However, he looked determined to fight. Plus, he knew how to brawl!" said one of my friends, Eliot Suarez. Cheshire simply nodded in agreement, Dyson wanted to take photos of the guy and the artist in the group, Davidson tried drawing the picture of the fight.
"Who do you think he is?"
"He has to be a student. He's gotta be."
"Dude, he might be like Davidson. Visiting his friends, plus remember, a few of our friends transferred out to Barrows Tech or Smith College. Consider that."
As they were talking, I was checking my e-mail and I decided to head home for tonight...
Victor's Apartament
Yes, my name is Victor. Specifically Victor Olivares. I still live with my parents, but that will change after graduation. Even though I had a good amount of friends here, it still felt lonely here, okay, Sarah averted that, but still. I was back reading over a lecture and I heard the news on. I usually don't pay much mind to the news, but after that stunt today... I had to check it out.
The headlines: MYSTERIOUS MASKED INDIVIDUAL FIGHTS MYSTERY MONSTER!
'This will be a interesting night...'
Yup. This is the beginning of a new Kamen Rider story. So, I welcome the criticism. However, if you need to be harsh, just make sure it's constructive.
Rider Paladin: Well, this... is interesting. I pray for this Decade, though. He's going up against some some tough monsters. I have a gut feeling the Dark Riders will be involved.
Jurgen: Hmm... maybe. *writes that in* Well, let's move along before the Weather Dopant decides to alter the weather for fun.
Rider Paladin: Wait, what?!
Jurgen: TOO LATE! *runs in heavy sweater*
Rider Paladin: What is... oh, crap. He's behind me, isn't he?
Weather Dopant: Interesting... *sends a tornado*
*Rider Paladin runs for his very life, then steals the Dragon Orphnoch's Jet Sliger motorcycle and tries getting away as fast he could.*
Jurgen: So... that was random.
Narutaki: DEC-*kicked in the balls by yours truly*
Jurgen: YOU DON'T EXIST!
