Kamen Justice
Summary: He came from another world, a world in midst of war. Now he finds himself among Titans with no way back and knowledge of may be lurking beyond the horizon of tomorrow. But before the end, the world will know him as a hero, as a Kamen Rider.

A/N: Been toying with the idea for awhile, please note that the Faiz listed here is not the same as in the series of the same name but one in my version of the future following the end of Kamen Rider 555, a future that will be revealed with time. And yes I have seen season 2 and to be honest I am stuck between being in shock at the turn of events and total nervous breakdown that this is gonna bomb big time. But that's not why you're here, you're here to read the latest bit of insanity to come out of my head. In that case...
Then submitted for your approval...

Marcus Jerome Radner, second born son of the Emperor and current wielder of the Faiz Gear panted heavily as he used his Faiz edge to stand up. He had stayed behind so that the Riotroopers could evacuate the civilians, now it seemed like he was the one in need of rescue. Two of his ribs were cracked and third was definitely broken, his left shoulder had been dislocated and was only just popped back into place and hurt like hell, and he was sure he had some minor internal bleeding.
"I must say cousin, I had expected more from you. From the tales I've heard about your fights on the front line, you seemed to be some kind of god on the battle field. But if that's the case, then I guess that makes me the devil since I am the one to defeat you" voiced his opponent as he readied his stolen Gear for a final attack.
Marcus laughed painfully at that as he stood up. "Don't you know, the Devil only wins because God allows him to. I have no intention on letting you win here, I do intend on taking back my brother's Armor" at that he pulled his Mission Memory from his belt and slotted it into his Faiz Edge.
"READY"
Behind his helmet, Psyga smirked as he did the same with his Psyga Tonfa. "You really think your petty Faiz Gear will be able to stop me, everyone knows that he wields Psyga is the ultimate warrior" he taunted smugly.
"Yeah, Psyga is more powerful then Faiz but I have experience on my side. I've trained to use this system since I was old enough to hold a sword. You dear cousin have only had it for a few months, but lets see if the quality of your gear can over come the quality of my experience." And with barely a wasted motion, Marcus opened the front of his belt and hit the Enter button on the Faiz Phone keypad with Psyga barely a half second behind.
"EXCEED CHARGE!"
The two charged, as Photonic Plasma traveled down the Photon Lines of their armors and charged their weapons giving them both a dangerous glow. And then they struck and the world was enveloped in white.

Marcus sat on the rooftop as he poked at his ice cream helping it to melt. He was dressed in black pants and boots with a black biker jacket that had the Phi symbol stitched on its back in gold thread. On his face he had a classic domino mask over his eyes to obscure his identity.
Even after a year, it felt strange being here but he had gotten somewhat used to it, no matter how strange it was.
"You stir that any more you are going to have soup instead of ice cream" said a voice behind him that sounded like he was smiling.
"Cat Tongue remember" answered Marcus with a chuckle as he stood to face the new arrival. He was dressed in a black and green bodysuit with a white circle in the center with a design that looked like a lantern inside it. He was sporting a green domino mask and on his right hand was a glowing green ring. "So what's up Hal?"
Hal Jordan, one of the two Green Lanterns assigned to Universal Sector 2814 smirked at his, he couldn't call him a sidekick as he did a lot of solo work and had even saved his ass once or twice, co-worker. "Just wondered if you have given any more thought to the offer, you know most guys in our line of work would kill for this kinda chance."
"Most guys in our line of work don't know what I know Hal" responded Marcus, he that the offer to join a team like the Justice League was a great honor, but given his knowledge, he knew that it was best that he remained outside and see where he could use his knowledge best without making it useless in the future. He was still having trouble believing that he was actually here at times talking with a Green Lantern and discussing his decision not to join the League.
It had been a year since his fight with his cousin and waking up to find Hal, Superman, and Batman looking down at him as he laid unconscious in that field just outside of the Coast City limits. After his recovery and brief "interview" with Bats and Martian Manhunter, he began to piece together what had happened. Somehow the clash of energy from the two attacks tore a hole in the fabric of the universe and sent Marcus and a still stasis locked Autovajin here. As for the Psyga imposter... who knew, with luck he was dead or worse.
But as much of shock it was for him, it was an even bigger one when he met with Hal, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman and told them about his world and the comic books he had grown up on as a child, comic books about them. The four of them looked at him like he was nuts before be began to list off personal details they told only a few people, like what movie Batman and his parents had seen on the night they were murdered, Superman's human name and the name of his parents and his home town and his crush on Lana Lang as a teen, the name of several Guardians of the Universe, as well as the exact geographical coordinates for Themyscira.
That of course lead to his current situation. For the last year they had been asking him to join the League in order to use his knowledge of potential future events to help stop disasters from happening. Marcus however thought that being too close to the action would cause him to miss things and render his knowledge useless. The further away from the League's action he was, the better chance he had for spotting something familiar.
"That's the reason why you should join, with everything you know you could do a lot of good" argued Hal. "I mean looked what you did when you yanked Paralax out of the Central Power Battery and locked him down in that Plasma Cage you, Atom, and Mr. Terrific designed or giving Gathet and Sayd the idea of forming a second Lantern Corps using the collected Hope of the Universe."
"They would have done it on their own in their own time Hal, I just helped to push them along a little sooner. As for the Plasma Cage all I did was let Atom and Terrific examine my equipment so that they could help me maintain it, I may know how to use it but if it breaks, I am well and truly screwed. As for that that cage, it's a better holding cell for the Universal Embodiment of Fear then something that depends on the willpower of the entire universe. Willpower can wane but Photonic Plasma can last forever... with maintenance" answered Marcus dismissively.
Hal gave an aggravated sigh, he felt like this was a conversation he had had before with is young partner. He then got an idea that caused him to smirk in an almost evil way "Well, I have one sure fire way of getting you to stop by the Hall today."
"Oh, just what pray tell, could that be?" asked Marcus mockingly.
"Robin and Kaldur are going to be there, they are getting confirmed as Associate League Members along with Kid Flash and Speedy. I'm sure they would love to have you there on their big day." said Hal hoping that he would choose to go in support of his two friends.
Marcus thought about it for all of two second and say no for what felt like the hundredth time until he got a little twinge in the back of his mind. It had happened on and off ever since he woke up in this world. Every time he was about to do one thing, it popped up and suddenly the decision he had been so sure of a second ago seemed like the wrong one. He was getting that feeling now, and he wouldn't dare ignore it as the last time he did that almost cost him his life. "Fine I'll go and see Robin and Kaldur and wish them luck, but tell Arrow to keep Speedy on a short leash or I will Exceed Charge him... AGAIN!" said Marcus seriously.
"I'll take care of it, I have something to do so I won't be by until later so just try not to let Roy get under your skin and if he does, keep the damage to a minimum huh?" asked Hal pleadingly, he didn't want to have to spend hours on clean up detail because of the latest battle in the war between Speed and Faiz.
"No promises" Hal only nodded knowing that was the best he could hope for. With that Green Lantern took to the air again leaving Marcus alone on his rooftop again.
Sighing, Marcus pulled out his Faiz Phone and dialed 0-2-1-7, "Autovajin, prep the Photonic Overdrive and set a course for Washington DC, Hall of Justice."
"Understood sir, standing by" said the mechanical voice of his partner and transport. Marcus snapped his phone shut before he picked up his now melted ice cream and downed it in one gulp. He then walked over to the edge of the roof and stepped off it.

"Hey Mommy I hear a Motorcycle!"
"Whose that?"
"Hey, its that new guy Pie."
"No Joey, its Faiz. Kamen Rider Faiz"
"Kamen Rider? What kinda stupid name is that?"
"Japanese, read a book for once"
"He looks so hot and yummy"
"Mommy, his bike is a Transformer, can I have one?"
"I am never getting used to this" thought Marcus as he and Autovajin pulled up the path towards the Hall of Justice as the civilian security kept the tourist back as the snapped photos and videos as his robotic partner and transport, Autovajin, transformed into its towering Warrior Mode standing at nearly seven feet and armed with super strength and a repeating photonic plasma gun.
As the pair began to walk toward the building they saw that they were not the only one to have just arrived. At the building entrance stood several league members and their partners. Batman and who he believed was Dick Greyson aka Robin, Bats never confirmed if it was him or one of his successors. The Barry Allen Flash and his nephew Wally West aka Kid Flash, Aquaman and his protege a version of Aqualad he was not familiar with called Kaldur'ahm who while sometimes a little too serious but he was a good friend and helped him adjust after his arrival in this new world, and lastly there was Green Arrow and Speedy; what more could be said about that, Arrow was great like a cooler laid back version of Batman, but Speedy ALWAYS rubbed him the wrong way and the feeling was mutual.
"Well this is a surprise, what did GL bribe you with to get you to join?" remarked Robin with a chuckle as he shook hands with his friend. He was the youngest here at only thirteen and dressed in what looked like a mix of the classic Robin and the Tim Drake version of the costume which seemed to work for him, he was never a fan of the green pixie shoes and shorts motif anyway. Unlike his mentor he couldn't help but like the hero from another dimension.
"Not here to join, just here to wish you and Kaldur luck" he said nonchalantly.
"Um Rob, who's the new guy?" asked a red headed kid in what looked like a yellow cowl-less version of Flash's getup.
"Right, you guys never met. Kid Flash, Kamen Rider Fiaz. Kamen Rider Fiaz, Kid Flash."
"Kamen Rider, Kamen is Japanese for mask right?" asked Kid Flash curiously.
"Not bad, in my home dimension we speak a kinda homogenized language that is basically English mixed in with some Japanese and Chinese. I take it you're familiar with the language?" remarked Marcus rather surprised. From Robin's description, he thought this guy would be a total doofus.
"Not really, had a girlfriend that was big into Sailor Moon. Had me dress up in a Tuxedo Mask outfit for Halloween and everything. She had it shipped from Japan and it stilled had the original Tuxedo Kamen label on the package and I just put two and two together" said Kid Flash with a proud smirk that made Marcus let off a bark of laughter. "What's so funny?"
"He's probably laughing at the idea of you having a gf KF" teased Robin as Kid Flash gave him a look he had often given his younger brother when they were little.
"I'm glad you've come my friend, it's been a while since we've, caught up, as the surface dwellers say" said Kaldur as he shook hands with Marcus. He was one of the first sidekicks to meet him about two years after he entered his apprenticeship under Aquaman and was able to help him adjust to this new world as well as show him that this was a slightly different world then the one in the comics, especially when he told him about how the original Aqualad was an Atlantian named Garth who, in this dimension, was Kaldur's classmate and best friend back home.
"Just so long as he and his tinker toy doesn't ruin this day for us" said Green Arrow's "partner" Speedy. He was dressed in a red version of Arrow's costume only with a yellow Robin Hood hat instead of a hood like his mentor. The guy seemed to have a permanent scowl on his face and was, in Marcus' opinion, a little obsessed with joining the League.
"I do not understand sir, who is this "Tinker Toy" Sidekick Designate: Speedy refer to?" asked Autovajin with the robotic equivalent of confusion.
"Whoa, it talks? How does it do? What kind of processing power does it use? Does it have a positronic brain?" asked Kid Flash as he sped over to Fiaz towering partner and attempted to examine as much of him as he could without taking him apart.
"The, SIDEKICK, was trying to insult you Auto" explained Marcus giving Speedy a cold look.
"DON'T, call me sidekick, not after today" answered the archer with cold sneer.
"I'll call you whatever I feel like, Sidekick. If you want to make something of it, I would be more then willing to introduce you to my Exceed Charge again" said Marcus as he moved to get in Speedy's face only for Kaldur to get between them.
"Alright Faiz stand down" said the Atlantian hero calmly. Marcus said nothing just gave Speedy a smirk before backing down. Kaldur let out a relieved sigh before turning Speedy around and pushing him towards the entrance to the the Hall.
"You really shouldn't let him get to you like that" said Robin.
"I know, but something about him bugs me to no end. I don't know what but..." Marcus let the sentence hang, he had no reason why he disliked Speedy, heck the Roy Harper he had read about in the comics was a guy he actually liked, heck, even respected. But this version for whatever reason set him on edge and he had no idea why.
"Come on, lets go get whelmed by our new status with the League" said Robin clapping him on the back as he moved to join the others.
"Whelmed?"
"Yeah, see being overwhelmed is just so overwhelming and being underwhelmed is just boring, so lets just be whelmed" oddly enough, that made a strange sense to Marcus and made him laugh.
"There is no "Our" just "Your." I have no interest in joining up and I'm just the cheering section here. Besides I have the feeling something interesting is gonna happen" said Marcus as he followed the Boy Wonder inside.
"Are we talking about that time with Joker interesting or the time you let slip about my potential future?" asked Robin sounding mildly nervous. The last time Marcus had one of these feelings, they ended up in a fight with Joker and his gang so that he could steal a sample a Joker gas.
"Don't know yet, but then why would I want to? Figuring it out is half the fun" Marcus answered as the door swung shut and newest adventure for Kamen Rider Faiz begins.

End of chapter 1
A/N: Okay, not to my usual standards in my opinion but not bad. Yeah it's a lot of set up but next chapter we get into the affair with Cadmus, Gnomorphs, and an evil scientist who sounds like Odo from DS9.
Until then true believers... LT OUT!
