AN: this story was originally a screenplay that was modified into a format that is acceptable for this website. This story is a continuation of Showa- Era of Kamen Riders shows and takes place 14 years after Kamen Rider Black RX. Also, please note that the episode title is near the end of this chapter for thematic reasons. [This story was revised due to some script elements that needed to be removed]
Disclaimer: I only own Kamen Rider Emerald and her alter ego, the techniques the character uses in this story (nearly all of them will be listed at the end of the final chapter, except for one or two that are critical plot points) the orphanage director, and the new monsters in this story. The characters, symbols, concepts, and other trademarks belong to the Toei Company and Ishimori Productions. Also, the song used in this story is a parody of Kamen Rider Kuuga theme song that is largely based on some of the English words, but I thought I heard when I listened to this song for the first time.

{Introduction Sequence}
The episode starts near a deserted alleyway at night time. At first, the camera shows nothing but the street filled with shadows. The street is empty, and the only movement is the bits of trash on the ground, blowing in the wind.
Then a blue trailer truck comes in to view (the camera now gives a close-up) as it speeds down the spooky shadow laden street and slightly above average speed. The truck drives backs up and turned into a 3 foot long driveway. It then turns, and then momentarily stops in front of a white garage door and this door is then open as the creepy sympathy music going on in the background starts to go higher and higher.
The back of the truck opens as camera zooms in. Several men and women dressed in black burglar-like outfits, wearing a thin layer of shoe polish (to obscure their faces against the blackness of the night) get up to him they're sitting position and turn around in order to nail down so that each one can grab a crate. They then carefully jump off the back of the trailer's floor.
The people then go into what seems to be it oddly shaped warehouse. The camera now gives a close-up to assign on the front of this building that says "Inner-city Tokyo Karaoke Club" in Japanese (obviously the place used to be a warehouse). The camera zooms in again and shows that the boxes are marked "property of S.G.D* Entertainment, a division of the Demon Electronics Corporation."
The people then go back to the truck once more and deliver some more crates. Dearing this time, they have not said a word and are eerily silent, as though they are afraid to speak. They are then shown getting back into the truck, sitting down again as the door like that of the garage closes automatically. The truck, then drives off into the darkness, and soon disappears from sight.
A bit further inside the building the camera pans there are people revealed to be waiting inside for the crates, and now come to collect them.
The camera turns to one individual, and at first, you could only see their right shoe which has a skeleton foot design on it. Then the camera moves up the individual's leg in the camera then pulls back to get the audience overview of the figure. The person is dressed in a white skeleton costume with small purple horns above their eyelids. There are holes for them to see out of and a hole that can speak out of which is covered by an inch thick red piece of cloth. The cheeks of the skeleton costume faces are all green, and they all wear stereotypical French hats. Alongside the oddly dressed men and women are several scientists wearing white lab coats and dark pants. The scientist who appears to be the leader of the group is also dressed in the skeleton costume. This scientist now looks at a clipboard min-chart in his left hand…
The scientist said "this is the last weapons and electronic component we will need for our new, Experimental Soldier and Reconstructed-Human Enhancement and Training Facility…"
The same scientist then opens one of the crates to reveal a large amount of ammunition and automatic weapons, along with several alien blades and guns, and other assorted weapons inside the crate. All but one of the crates are opened, examined, and then closed. The scientist looks at this one large crate which is a head taller than a 6 foot human. He then opens it with his body shielding their contents from the camera's view.
The scientist speaks again, in a loud but calm voice "tell our glorious leader that our greatest weapon so far is ready (PAUSE). (His voice gains more emotion with every word) That our project, Codenamed "Invulnerable Rhinoceros" is complete at last!"
Scene fades out.
{Introduction Sequence Ends}
The screen is blank… then the narrator speaks.
Narrator: after almost ten years a great and horrible the evil from a forgotten corner of history has come to finally fulfill its dream of world conquest Japan. Now this secret force (known for using diabolical creatures… both mystical and scientific… Made to cause chaos and death throughout the world…) has returned to conquer our small blue and green planet… only one warrior and its allies can stop this unspeakable evil… the time for a jewel of a Rider has come! Humanity needs… KAMEN RIDER EMERALD!
(as the Narrator speaks scenes of various common Rider battles are shown, followed by scenes of monsters causing death and destruction, a 14 your girl is shown squirming helplessly against the straps of the table she has been laid on only for her to become a fearsome-looking monster, finally an unknown figure in shadow appears briefly and is then consumed by light)
The Music starts up (it's a slightly modified version of the theme from Kamen Rider Kuuga, because I can't think of a piece of original music that would go as well with this show as the "Kuuga" theme.)
When you count up from zero, will there always be 13 only… I don't think so!
Whether its tens centuries or a million years ago, the time has come for… the legend to be reborn again!
Even now, we must now… stride boldly into the light of day!
Emerald! Even now the time is come…
Emerald! Fill your strong body with green energy…
Emerald… let your hopes and dreams ride on me!
No fear, no pain, nobody knows my name…
You dare not show fear; you dare not feel pain, pick up your fallen form once again.
The path looks so long but there's no way I'm going to give up.
Now that the time has come, go henshin (transform)… Kamen Rider Emerald! (The show's name appears on screen, what the letters in green. Set against a purple sideways oval with a red background surrounding it.)

(To Be Continued Next Chapter)
AN: Because of the way I divided the chapters there was originally less material to work with than expected so I had to add something of a special feature to the end of the story to keep the story from ending a quarter of the way through the fourth page. However, the next chapter should be much longer and probably will not need padding.
*The initials stand for Shocker Grand Deception or Super Giant Devil… just kidding! It really stands for Scientific General Development Entertainment. In the universe to this story takes place in this company is most famous for developing a series of highly popular science and technology souls for children and adults.
At least half of their income comes from the fact that they often act as paid consultants to the Japanese government in order to help to decide what company individual or project gets their annual Science and Research Grant. The grant funds a different project every two years. Unknown to the Japanese government, recently many of the projects that the grant has gone to fund have been done by dummy corporations that are using the funds for much darker purposes.
Anyway here's something of an extra or bonus feature.
Some of the techniques that Emerald doesn't used in this story are:
Emerald Ray: in which a beam of destructive green energy shoots from her palm; this is one of several finishing moves she has but is mostly used to weaken a monster.
Devilish Keen Thrust: in which her keen glows green as she thrusts it into a monster's gut; another finishing move but rarely used that way.
Emerald Eye Beams: two thin beams of light come from the pupils of her eyes and vaporizes monsters in a glowing green flash; this finishing move is very powerful and very destructive towards her enemies.
Holy Slash Of Rider Judgment: a sword of incredible power is the key to Emerald's greatest finishing move; it gathers all forms of energy around it through streaks of yellow light and then can be used to cut any monster in half or run it through; either way monster causes it to almost instantly explode and die.
