Kamen Rider Aikusha
(A/N: I don't own the Kamen Rider franchise or any anime you may find. But I do own some the original stuff, including the original characters.)
1: From Fan to Hero
On January 2nd in the year of 2000 in Tokyo, while returning home with her parents from a really late New Year celebration with other members of her family, young Noriko Seki sighed boringly at the whooshing scenery of green outside her window.
She thought to herself, "Aside from the fun parties and holidays, I wonder how it would be if my favorite anime characters like Sakura Kinomoto or Yugi Moto were real." Her mother said to her, "There's still some leftover homemade mochi at home." Noriko sighed, "I'm thinking about that, but thanks for the thought, Kaa-chan."
Then she notices something outside the window… a boy sprawled on the ground.
"KAA-CHAN," screamed Noriko, "STOP THE CAR!" Abruptly, Ms. Seki did. Her dad worriedly asked her, "Noriko-chan, what's wrong?" Noriko points out her window, "There's a boy out on the ground! I think he's hurt!"
Quickly the small family rushes to the boy sprawled down on the ground, he is clad in white with black linings and has a very full backpack on his back. "What a way to usher in the millennium," painfully sighed the worried father of Noriko. The mother said, "Honey, check his pulse. He still might be alive. Your father and I are going to contact a hospital."
As her parents left to call for an ambulance… Noriko came in closer to the young boy, touching his neck when all of the sudden he woke up breathing heavily. Thanking the almighty that the boy is still alive, Noriko decided to comfort him "It's alright, you're going to be okay." The boy's rapid breaths eased slowly.
"What's your name?" asked Noriko. The boy breathed franticly out, "Shi… ra… nai——" then he passed out.
Noriko had to know about the poor boy. She continued to stay beside the mysterious boy, whose only reply to her question to him was 'mystery', even at the hospital to help him recover.
She pulled a few items out of his backpack; it included a bunch of manga comics (half of which are above the age regulations), an elementary school student I.D. card with his picture on it and the name of 'Shiranai Masaru', and a small black book-like device with a white symbol on the cover.
"Oh," gasps Noriko, "Shiranai's your surname!"
(A/N: 'Shiranai' is Japanese for 'I don't know' or 'mystery')
The white symbol on the cover slightly resembles a heart, but the top looks like an infinity symbol and the rest below the symbol appear to be cracks with biggest one running down the center. The symbol also has a triangular fang at each side of the teardrop-like mark on the bottom, strange wing-like waves on the upper sides, and a horizontal rectangle on top of the heart with a small circle in its center, and thin straight antennae from either side of the rectangular on top.
"Masaru Shiranai," asked a curious Noriko, "What are you?"
At the time the ambulance shows up, Noriko sighs inwardly and whispers "Don't worry, Masaru-kun… I'll watch over you."
10 years have passed…
In a game center in Tokyo called Arcade Multiwa, in one of the karaoke rooms are a couple of college friends singing and enjoying themselves. Among them is a grown up Noriko——
Noriko Seki, now a 19-year-old college student with long black-and-brown hair and dressed in bright violet with some dark greens, is seen on stage singing the Barenaked Ladies' 'The Big Bang Theory' in Japanese. Noriko has been a college student for some time and has worked her hardest to take care of Masaru over their years together.
As the song finished, her friends smile and applaud to her, "You are great as usual, Noriko-chan!" "It's as expected of the Angel of Tokyo College!"
Noriko slightly shrugs, "It's nothing, really."
Then she looks around the room, and groans out "Where is that fool?"
Entering the arcade from the front doors, is a 18-year-old Masaru Shiranai, who over the years has grown up to be a tall young Japanese man 18 years of age with neck-length black hair and brown eyes. His hobbies include watching the Kamen Rider TV shows and movies and emulating the Kamen Riders as much as possible, which lead to shockingly successful results, as well as looking at anime and manga of the harem genre.
He has a strong liking for the Kamen Rider series and harem genre anime/manga. He isn't above some perverted stuff and is definitely into the attractive women. He has a habit of following some of the ideals of his favorite Kamen Riders and even so far as mimicking them; flicking his wrist (via Faiz), salutes as a means of greeting others (via Hibiki), etc.
Tomorrow he will be 19 years old officially.
Seeing a familiar person with gray eyes and short-trimmed black hair walking menacingly to the other kids, Masaru listens in on it——
"Oh no," gulps one of the kids, "it's Kanto Chiaki."
Kanto smiles smugly, "What are you saying, peasants?" he looks around asking "Are you too chicken to challenge me?" He points toward the ceiling, "If you lose to me, I'm banning you from Multiwa… permanently."
Feeling a tap on his shoulder, Kanto turns to see Masaru glaring down at him. He gulps and nervously says, "Why, it's my worst enemy and best friend, Masaru Shiranai. How's it hanging, big guy?"
Kanto is jealous of Masaru because of everything Masaru outdoes him exponentially; in the 4th grade Kanto tries to invent a working circuit board that surpasses others in the world while Masaru's is unbreakable and more capable, then Masaru built a working engine that doesn't pollute, and so forth. Masaru has even attracted more girls and scores higher in all aspects than Kanto ever could. For as long as they've known each other, Kanto desperately tries to surpass Masaru no matter what the subject may be.
"We're neither best friends nor worst enemies," growls Masaru, "and what did I tell you about picking on little kids?" Kanto says, "The laws of mortal man don't apply to me!" "Actually, since you're part of mankind too, you're just as applicant to laws as the rest of us," retorts Masaru, "plus since you're setting up a stupid little law, why don't we apply it to a match against each other?"
Stepping up to a Kamen Rider combat game that has consoles for up to four players and a large circular field, the two eyed each other before taking their seats at the consoles.
Masaru says to the children, "Don't worry, I'll defeat this high-class trash." Then he flips a 100-yen coin into the slot. Kanto smirks, "You'll be at a disadvantage, Masaru; my fighter character will have far more hit points than that one with the lower amount of hit points!" The self-proclaimed rival of Masaru inserts 3 coins on his side.
By placing 300 yen in, the player can have the highest amount of hit points and access to his entire arsenal, while the 100 yen gets the least amount of hit points and a power gauge for certain attacks.
Kanto selects a character to play, "I will be playing as the ultimate Rider, Decade!"
Appearing before Kanto is a holographic if not lifelike miniature version of the fuchsia, black, and white Kamen Rider with green eyepieces whose armor resembles barcode. (Kamen Rider Decade— height: 192cm; weight: 83kg; punching power: 4t; kicking power: 8t; top running speed: 100m/6s; maximum jumping height: 25m; Senses: normal; Defense Rating: 6; Finisher Power: variable)
Masaru simply selects a character, "I will be playing as the first of all Kamen Riders; Ichigo."
Appearing before Masaru is a holographic if not lifelike miniature version of the original Kamen Rider; green and black, grasshopper-like armor with red eyepieces and a red scarf. (Kamen Rider 1— height: 180cm; weight: 70kg; punching power: 3t; kicking power: 10t; top running speed: 100m/4.2s; maximum jumping height: 25m; Senses: 4x; Defense Rating: 6; Finisher Power: variable)
Kanto cackled hysterically, "Ichigo is ancient history! Decade, however, is the king of history!" Masaru stoically states, "Tsukasa Kadoya was merely an arrogant jerk who doesn't know the meaning of heart while Takeshi Hongo was always a nice person who'd help people, I'd be surprised if you were close to someone like Tsukasa."
BATTLE START!
The two engaged their virtual Riders against each other as the game announced the call.
Surprisingly, for playing a Kamen Rider with fewer hit points, Masaru's is defeating Kanto's without difficulty.
Masaru quickly goes into certain set of motions over the controls and shouts together with his Rider, "Rider Kick!"
Kanto's Decade crashed into the ground of the arena and vanished in digital dust form… then virtual letters appeared overhead announcing the Kamen Rider that Masaru played with is the winner! Much to everyone's shock, the original Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider Ichigo, whom Masaru just with played, has defeated Kamen Rider Decade!
Masaru frowns down on "Respect your betters, Kanto. Also… children are treasures, to abuse those treasures are lower than trash." Kanto frowns back, "I'll remember this!"
"MASARU!" roared a feminine voice.
Calmly, Masaru turns to see a slightly cross Noriko glaring at him and tapping her foot. He says to her, "Hello, Norikoromi."
(A/N: 'Norikoromi' is his nickname for Noriko, it's an amalgam of her name and the Japanese word for 'babysitter'; 'koromi'. But when roughly translated the nickname means 'seaweed babysitter'.)
"Don't you 'hello Norikoromi' me;" growls Noriko "you didn't show up for the New Years Eve get-together with us since last night and neither did you show up for the New Years Day karaoke get-together with us on time!" Then she looks at him darkly, saying "It's punishment time!"
"Please…" cringes Masaru, "anything but that!"
The children run for cover, as do Noriko's on-looking classmates and friends. For they too know Noriko Seki when she gets mad at Masaru——
"Devil's Facedown Rack!" wickedly smiles Noriko as she jumps onto Masaru and pulls at his limbs as she stands on him and then twists them, he screams in pain as she does this!
Whenever Masaru got out of line or did something she believed to be wrong, Noriko would practice alternative medicine on him! Her technique called the Devil's Facedown Rack is just one of her many terrifying techniques.
Kanto snickers, "Way to punish that peasant back, Noriko-chan."
Irked by the jerk Chiaki, Noriko lets go of Masaru and turns to the creep, "You and your rudeness again? RRR!"
She then shoves two index fingers into Kanto's gut, "One Thousand Years of Death!"
Kanto was sent flying out of the arcade, screaming in agony!
As everyone observed the event that took place, Masaru groans out, "Lesson to really remember; don't upset Norikoromi."
Some time later, Masaru and Noriko were walking side-by-side, talking…
"Where have you been anyway, Masaru?" asks Noriko. Masaru asks back, "You mean before trouncing that moron, Chiaki?" "Yeah." "I've found a fortuneteller's stand and got sidetracked there right after helping some school kids and an elderly lady across the street."
Although Masaru may act like an arrogant jerk thanks to his abilities and skills at times, inwardly he's a shy yet really nice person. He practices the Kamen Riders' personas to build his personality up more. He's more than willing to helping others and put their safety and welfare before his own, even going as far as sharing what money he has on him.
Of course, he has been under Noriko's care for nearly a decade. She has been part of those to help him to his feet, when she first introduced him to television; he became interested in 'Kamen Rider'. Without a memory of his old self save for his name, he followed various learning and training courses to help him look for who he was, which has helped him achieve the present capabilities he now possesses.
Noriko can be ferocious but she has a very wide caring streak and can be really sweet, she works hard so that she could follow Masaru and continue to care for him until she's absolutely sure he's independent to live his life on his own. But she develops feelings for him over the years, which brews her concerns even further.
Sitting down on a bench, Noriko sighs as she looks up into the sky, "By tomorrow afternoon, it'll be exactly 10 years since we've met each other." Masaru nods, "Certainly, Norikoromi." "Would you please call me by my real name?" sighs Noriko. Masaru states, "but I like calling you that when I'm feeling upset."
"What are you upset about this time?" pouts Noriko. Masaru quickly spills it out, "For one, I still don't know who I was but I am here for a purpose. But I don't know what that purpose is, it's throbbing in the back of my mind!" Then he calmly says, "Also, somehow I get the feeling that it's somehow connected by the things I've done so far." Noriko sighs, "I think it's just a coincidence."
"At least you've got nothing to worry about," shrugs Masaru. Noriko frowns, "What about the ridiculous marriage interview I've got coming up soon? I'm trying to have a good enough time before I meet a groom candidate." Masaru groans "Geez, why won't your parents accept the fact that you can't marry someone you could not accept, you have your own freedoms as I do too."
Noriko sighs, "In case you're not going to be on the course of regaining your past self, what do you plan on doing?" "I look forward to having control of Nemako Redir Corp.!" slightly smiles Masaru. Noriko retorts by saying, "That happens to be my uncle's company." "Well, he likes me," snickers Masaru. Noriko says, "Not just you, baka."
(A/N: I know that Nemako Redir Corp. don't made the Tokusatsu shows, but they are in this fan fiction.)
"What did the fortuneteller predict in your future?" asks Noriko, now remembering why he was late. Masaru quietly answers, "by the time the 19 stars align with Venus and Jupiter among the infinities, I'm going to be heading down on an adventurous journey that is vital to my life in many fields. If I make the wrong decisions alone it will end for others terribly."
Noriko says, "What do you think that means, Holmes-san?" Masaru says, "Best I can figure, Jupiter stands for supremacy over the others while Venus symbolizes love and beauty, and I'm going to turn 19 years old tomorrow, which means that on my 19th birthday I may get lucky in love and power. But it could lead to chaos if I don't make correct decisions."
A wind blows at them, Noriko frowns slightly, "What the…" Masaru agrees, "The trees aren't moving and no one else is affected by this breeze."
As the wind died down, Noriko gasps as she spots a spider-like entity in the shadows, "What the hell is that?!" Masaru's eyes widen as he recognizes it "Get down!" They both dropped to the asphalt to dodge whatever is coming…
ZIP! CRACK! Zipping at them but missing them and hitting the asphalt is a red colored dart of some sort. Masaru says, "That poisoned dart is normally shot from the mouth of the Kumo Otoko from Shocker in the first 'Kamen Rider' series."
Sure enough, the black-and-red spider-like kaijin appeared before Masaru and Noriko. Masaru cannot believe what he's seeing, "A real live kaijin." Noriko whimpers, "I think we should run." Masaru gulps, "Good idea."
But as they turn, they find themselves surrounded by more spider kaijin from other Kamen Rider continuations, real as life itself. The people around them flee the area without getting attacked.
Noriko says, "The feeling of danger is too real to be a publicity stunt!" "Not that it's important, but if there are Kamen Riders around for real, we'd find a way to make it out alive," says Masaru.
Noriko gasps, "The black book!" Masaru blinks "What black book?"
Noriko slowly pulls out the mechanical black book-like device from her backpack and presents it to Masaru, "I've held onto this for you, I thought it was some sort of toy. But perhaps it's the real thing… whatever it is."
"How long have you had this?" asks Masaru. Noriko admits, "you've had it with you the day we've met."
Knowing the danger around them, Masaru puts on a serious face and says "Here's hoping." He then whispers to her, "Pray that everything I do will be the right actions required for this device's functions."
Masaru holds the book over his abdomen… then a high tech-looking silver belt appears around his waist in a series of squares of blue energy. The place where the buckle appears to be an empty slot like something is supposed to be placed into it. On his right hip side of the belt is a holster holding a black triangular tool, possibly a weapon.
He slips the book into his new belt's slot and shouts out, "Henshin!"
Ejecting from the symbol on the book/buckle appeared before Masaru is a large rectangular field of green energy depicting the red symbol similar to that on the mechanical book in its center and it's getting bigger. All projectiles aimed and fired at Masaru stuck the field but are redirected back to the kaijin.
As the field gets big enough fit a person through it, it hovers toward Masaru and then as it phases past him before finally disappearing. The effect has just changed Masaru into what looks like a man of metallic green fluid, then the projections of reflected light replicates and flows into his body like a magnet drawing in iron dust, finally in a flash of light the effect of which changing him into a different shape.
The metallic green fluid covering him still then hardens before shattering, revealing the new form that was underneath it.
Now Masaru's in a black bodysuit with dark green armor with silver trim, and white lines resembling a U-shaped trench with lines on top that wrap around the round shoulder protectors. The central part of his chest has a silvery triangle crest with an engraving of the same symbol on the book. Around his armor's neck area are leathery jacket lapels or stand-up collars and wrapped around his neck is a red scarf.
The green bug-like helmet's yellow eyepieces are shaped like that standard infinity symbol, below it is a triangular gray mouth-guard with a serrated line in the middle and fang-like extensions on the sides. Above the eyepieces is a silvery horizontal band with a tiny green orb in the center and above the band are two antennae to complete the bug look.
The eyes and tiny orb flashed brightly, signaling that he's ready to battle.
"I… I… I am…" the armored Masaru struggles to speak, "I'm… I'm a Kamen Rider!" then he excitedly exclaims, "I am a genuine Kamen Rider!"
Noriko pulls him down, "Stop acting so impressed, baka!" Masaru the Kamen Rider bows his head, "Sumimasen."
Then he notices the book/buckle is open, revealing cards. He asks himself, "Am I somewhat like Decade? Or do I summon other Riders as puppets like Diend? If so for either, how do I activate them?" Noriko replies "How should I know? It's yours."
Seeing a reflective surface; a black car, Masaru digs through the cards and pulls out the one for Kamen Rider Ryuki, "I hope this can work if I just wave the card over the book."
Waving the card's face over his book/buckle, it calls out in a mechanical male voice——
"Hero Change:"
Then the card disappeared, calling out in a person's voice (namely Shinji Kido)——
"Kamen Rider Ryuki!"
First his belt transformed into a silvery metal belt with a black deck case as the center of its buckle, in its center is a golden Chinese dragon head-like symbol. Multiple pale silhouettes beam and spin over toward Aikusha and completely eclipse his body before an instant flash, revealing himself in a red bodysuit with silver armor and a slight Chinese dragon theme. He's transformed into Kamen Rider Ryuki (height: 190cm; weight: 90kg; punching power: 200AP (10t); kicking power: 400AP (20t); top running speed: 100m/5s; maximum jumping height: 35m; Senses: 15km radius; Defense Rating: 6; Final Vent, Dragon Rider Kick: 6000 Attack Points (300t))!
"Wow!" says the new surprised Kamen Rider (with a slightly different voice), "I can transform into any fictional Kamen Rider like Decade! Except I can do it fully rather than mostly, I like the old Riders' old fashioned way anyway."
He then teases the spider kaijin horde, "Catch me if any of you can, you loser flyswatters!" Then he runs into the car's reflective surface, vanishing in a flash!
The angered spiders chase after him disappearing the same way.
Remembering what she's seen watching over his shoulder while waiting for her favorite TV shows, Noriko says "I should be able to see what's happening to Masaru by looking into the car's reflective surface and not get harmed by the effects of the Mirror World."
In the Ryuki Mirror World, Masaru/Kamen Rider Ryuki has already wounded some of the past spider kaijin and is working his way to the Dispider, so he can destroy it before it eats him.
He pulls out an Advent Card from the buckle, which automatically opens his Drag Visor on his left forearm, which should activate the card's power, and closes it.
Then a deep male voice is heard, calling out——
"Guard Vent!"
Catching a red and silver dragon chest-like shield falling from the sky, Masaru/Ryuki says to himself "So this is what it feels like holding the Drag Shield!"
The Spider Fangire runs towards Masaru/Ryuki, only to meet the new Kamen Rider's fist to his face, shattering it upon impact. Masaru/Ryuki calmly says, "That was 10 metric tons of force, bare with it."
For several more minutes, Masaru dodges every attack and tap-dances on the downed kaijin's heads. He activates another Advent Card——
"Strike Vent!"
Masaru catches a red Japanese dragon head-like weapon called the Drag Claw in his right hand, "Time to kick some kaijin butt… Ryuki style."
A red Japanese dragon, Ryuki's Dragreder, flew down from the Mirror World's sky and around the fan gone Rider and together they shot a massive stream of flames at the kaijin, incinerating them each. The Dispider already bought it, so Dragreder inhales its energy.
The few surviving spider kaijin look at Masaru/Ryuki with the intent of killing him, but then they see their bodies dissolving.
Masaru/KR Ryuki says, "Sorry, boys, but the Ryuki Mirror World is highly corrosive to all but the Mirror Monsters that inhabit it."
With that, the spider kaijin vanish in specks of dust floating in the winds of the Ryuki Mirror World. Masaru/KR Ryuki knows that if he doesn't leave soon, he'll corrode too. A grey pod-like motorcycle-like vehicle called a Ride Shooter flew out of the car's side from where he entered and opens up, letting him leave.
Back in their world, Noriko sees the Rider Shooter launching toward her so she jumps out of the way, revealing Masaru, still as Kamen Rider Ryuki.
Suddenly, a voice reminiscent to the original Kamen Rider Ryuki calls out, "3… 2… 1… Kamen Rider Ryuki out." Then the armor reverts back into the Rider armor he's had on before and then the Ride Shooter changed form too——
A Honda Fireblade with a white cowl with red streamlines and his original Rider's symbol colored green on its sides.
"Aww, crud!" groans the Rider (in his normal voice), "It's only been ten minutes since I've transformed into Ryuki and I avert back to the form I came in first."
He looks at his Kamen Rider Ryuki Hero Card, "Wow, at first this card had a green line saying 'full' now it says 'resting'. I hypothsize that these have limited power." Noriko says, "At least you've got a decent bike and gear."
Masaru turns to see a snake-like kaijin, "The Hebi Jujin (Snake Beastman) from 'Kamen Rider Amazon'!" Noriko gasps, "Well change into Amazon!"
Masaru pulls out another Hero Change Card and waves it over his book/buckle——
"Hero Change: Kamen Rider Amazon!"
A silver beetle armlet appears on his left upper arm along with his belt changing into a white belt with a pair of red eyes on the buckle and a stick of some sort on it.
Masaru growls and roars out, "A-MA-ZON!!!"
Within a bright flash of light, the Rider has again changed into a different one; his body is in a green bodysuit with a red chestplate that looks more like a scaly second skin with black boots and gloves. The gloves have serrated blades on the side and the fingertips have claws. Hanging from around his neck is a white scarf. His helmet resembles the head of a spotted monitor lizard (or a komodo dragon or piranha) with a mouth full of sharp teeth and fangs, a small angler-like horn jutting from its forehead, and a pair of large red eyes. He has actually become Kamen Rider Amazon (height: 180cm; weight: 70kg; punching power: 5t; kicking power: 10t; top running speed: 100m/3.8s; maximum jumping height: 30m; Senses: 15km radius; Defense Rating: 5; Finisher Power: 30t)!
The bike transforms into a red beast-like motorcycle with fin-like extensions in the back; the Jungler.
Going at the serpentine kaijin, Masaru/Amazon batters the big snake around for several minutes before finally lifting his arm and quickly rushes its serrated extensions down on the snake's head——
"Daisetsudan!" (Big Slice)
As both red blood-bleeding sides of the Hebi Jujin fall to the road…
The fan gone Kamen Rider says to himself, "I wonder how I change out of this." Noriko asks, "What do you mean?"
Suddenly, a card appears in his hand, he looks at it and sees that the card depicts him with the title of 'Kamen Rider Aikusha'.
"Kamen Rider Aikusha? That's me?" asks the new real-life Kamen Rider, "Oh well, weird or not, I think it's best suited for me."
He waves the face of the card over his Amazon Belt's buckle, and it shifts into its original belt form, with the mechanical voice calling out——
"Rider Change: Kamen Rider Aikusha."
His body shifts back into its original Kamen Rider form.
"I see," smiles Masaru (now Kamen Rider Aikusha in his original KR form) under his helmet, "I still have the ability to turn into the fictional Riders when I use their powers, I just need to give them enough time to recharge. Plus I can use my Rider Change card representing me to change back to my original form to change back faster."
Noriko blinks, "I think that makes sense."
KR Aikusha looks at the KR Amazon Hero Card, just to see it with a green line quickly going up. He nods his helmeted head, "Yeah… the less time I spend as another fictional Rider, the faster the cards recharge."
Putting the cards away, KR Aikusha says "Get on, we're going home." Noriko hops onto the back and wraps her arms around Masaru's waist. Aikusha revs up his motorcycle's engine and they swiftly moved off.
On KR Aikusha's left wrist flashed his triangular wristwatch-like device to reveal some information about him——
(Kamen Rider Aikusha— height: 198cm; Weight: 99kg; Punching Power: 5t (normal), 10t (max.); Kicking Power: 9t (normal), 15t (max.); Maximum Running Speed: 100m/5.8s; Maximum Jumping Height: 38m; Senses: 13.5km; Defense Rating: 7; Finisher Power: 23t (normal), 30t (max.))
KR Aikusha says, "According to this Aikusha Watcher, this bike is my Machine Aikusha and the book is called the Aikusha Booker which summons the Aikusha Driver belt."
(Machine Aikusha— length: 2.51m; height: 1.33m; width: 0.9m; weight: 219kg; power source: God's Heart Crystal Engine; maximum output: 6.05 GW/50,000 rpm; top speed: 600km/h (0 to 400 km/h in 2s))
"The cards I've used are called Hero Cards, they grant me powers of the original fictional leading Kamen Riders for a limit of 10 minutes and a recharging rate of one hour when they're depleted of energy."
Noriko sighs, "I don't know what's fictional anymore." KR Aikusha sighs, "I second that emotion."
KR Aikusha shouts, "Gorgom's Eagle Mutant at 12 o'clock!" Then he brakes to a stop, signaling Noriko to get of and seek cover!
"Rider for kaijin" says Kamen Rider Aikusha, before activating another Hero Change Card——
"Hero Change: Kamen Rider BLACK!"
With that, his complete Aikusha belt completely transforms into KR BLACK's Kingstone.
KR Aikusha calls out, "Henshin!"
Then in a series of red and white flashes, he becomes the black-colored grasshopper-themed Kamen Rider from the Showa era, Kamen Rider BLACK! Machine Aikusha also transforms into the green living motorcycle of BLACK, Battle Hopper!
(Kamen Rider BLACK— height: 198.7cm; Weight: 87kg; Punching Power: 4t; Kicking Power: 10t; Maximum Running Speed: 100m/4.8s; Maximum Jumping Height: 30m; Senses: 10km; Defense Rating: 7; Finisher Power: 20t)
(Battle Hopper— energy: Motocrystal; maximum output: 415 horsepower; top speed: 500km/h)
KR Aikusha/BLACK leaps up and chops off the wing of the Eagle Mutant with the blade of his hand—
"Rider Chop!"
He then jumps off of his now falling opponent before delivering a powerful flying kick into him—
"Rider Punch!"
KABOOM!
KR Aikusha/BLACK lands onto Battle Hopper and flips the needed de-transformation Rider Card required——
"Rider Change: Kamen Rider Aikusha."
Both Rider and Machine returned to original Aikusha forms.
Noriko says, "We've got to hurry, who knows if they've got to my parents?" Aikusha nods, "Yes, we must hurry!"
The two ride off in a hurry and made it to the apartment where Noriko's parents live in, just two kaijin from the Kamen Rider universe at the building's front door.
"Knife Armadillo and Television Fly of Destron…" superciliously says KR Aikusha as he waves another card, "time for V3."
"Hero Change: Kamen Rider V3!"
His belt shapeshifts into the Double Typhoon henshin belt of Kamen Rider V3, then he sets himself in the motioned henshin pose of V3, calling out "Henshin… V3!"
He transforms into the red, white, and green 3rd Showa era Rider; V3 (height: 180.7cm; Weight: 82kg; Punching Power: 5t; Kicking Power: 10t; Maximum Running Speed: 100m/4.2s; Maximum Jumping Height: 25m; Senses: 4x; Defense Rating: 7; Finisher Power: 45t).
He then goes onto attacking the two members of Destron's mechanical army——
Onto the Knife Armadillo, he plants a spinning attack——
"V3 Drill Attack!"
Seeing his ally blow up, Television Fly goes after the double-transformed Rider, only for KR Aikusha/V3 to counter with a spinning flying kick——
"V3 Centrifugal Kick!"
Then the kaijin explodes too.
"Rider Change: Kamen Rider Aikusha."
KR Aikusha says, "You'd better get out of here before your parents get here; the explosions will draw them here."
Noriko says, "Then let's both go somewhere else!" But then she is snatched by a group of cyborgs. As they take her away, KR Aikusha frowns under his helmet "Looks like Shin's the guy for the job!"
"Hero Change: Kamen Rider Shin!"
The armor faded revealing a different man instead of Masaru underneath who is mutating into a humanoid grasshopper, who then runs after the half-machine monstrosities with his clawed forearms rushing around in fury!
(Kamen Rider Shin— height: 190cm; Weight: 90kg; Punching Power: 4.5t; Kicking Power: 10t; Maximum Running Speed: 100m/4.5s; Maximum Jumping Height: 30m; Senses: 15km; Defense Rating: 5; Finisher Power: 20t)
KR Aikusha/Shin roars out, "Shin Fury Swipes!" This attack rips the cyborgs to bits, freeing Noriko from their clutches.
As the card for Aikusha appears in his mutated hands, he waves over his forehead——
"Rider Change: Kamen Rider Aikusha."
He transforms back into KR Aikusha again, Noriko pants out of exhaustion "Okay, this day's getting past intense." KR Aikusha holds her comfortingly, "Don't worry, I think we can pull through this."
Noriko blushes furiously, this is Masaru within that mysterious armor.
Crashing into the scene came animaloid grey entities and grey humanoid beings with animalistic features. KR Aikusha identifies them, "Orphenoch!"
Noriko recognizes them from the KR 555 continuity, so she digs through the Aikusha Booker for the Faiz change card and waves it over the empty belt missing its book/buckle.
"Hero Change: Kamen Rider Faiz!"
His book transforms into the Faiz Phone and the belt becomes the Faiz Driver.
In a different voice (reminiscent to Takumi Inui), KR Aikusha says to Noriko as he takes the Phone back, "Thanks." Noriko runs for cover, "Thank me later!"
KR Aikusha flips the Phone open and dials in 5-5-5 before pressing 'Enter', having the phone speak in its usual mechanical voice—
"Standing By."
KR Aikusha flips it closed and calls out "Henshin!" as he sets the Phone back into the Driver.
"Complete."
Glowing red lines of light stream out from the cylinders flanking the phone and then goes over his body which turns into a red silhouette before ending in a red flash that is released. As the flash dies down, he is clad in the Faiz Gear's black, silver, and red armor with yellow eyepieces; Kamen Rider Faiz.
(Kamen Rider Faiz— height: 186cm; Weight: 91kg; Punching Power: 2.5t; Kicking Power: 5t; Maximum Running Speed: 100m/5.8s; Maximum Jumping Height: 35m; Senses: 25km; Defense Rating: 7; Finisher Power: varies)
KR Aikusha/Faiz dials 3-8-2-1 into the Faiz Phone before pressing 'Enter'.
"Jet Sliger, come closer!"
Rushing into the scene came his Machine Aikusha. The headlights turned on and turn red, creating the red Faiz symbol before it, then it flies through it transforming into a white-and-black aerodynamic vehicle with 5 powerful-looking jet engines in the back and two big wheels; Faiz's own Jet Sliger.
Under his helmet, KR Aikusha/Faiz smiles "I love my ride!"
He hops in his transformed ride and sets the controls for the weaponry; folding out the missile racks, which are at both sides above the front wheel and holds 8 missiles.
He pulls a trigger, "Firing Smart Brain Sidewinders."
The Jet Sliger fires 16 missiles that each split up into 8 more before destroying the horde of Orphenoch.
Noriko pops out from her cover and says, "That was kind of overkill, wasn't it?"
"Rider Change: Kamen Rider Aikusha."
Changing back, KR Aikusha replies to her "Yeah, but that was a lot of Orphenoch." Then he looks behind her, "Oh look: a couple of Worms."
Noriko turns around to find two women that look precisely like her and they change into sickly green insectoid kaijin in a cocoon-like form folding around skeletons; Pupaworms (or Salis).
KR Aikusha waves the Kabuto Hero Change Card over his Booker——
"Hero Change: Kamen Rider Kabuto!"
His belt changed into a silvery high-tech-looking belt while his mechanical book flies off and transforms into a red robotic beetle before returning to its proper place.
"Henshin."
"HENSHIN."
Then in a field of blue hexagonal energy, his armor transforms again——
It's mostly silver with a red accent on the shoulders and chest. Cylindrical sections run down his hands and armor plating was on his fingers. The helmet is now silver with a solid blue visor. On the forehead of the visor is a small bit resembling that of a rhino beetle's horn tip. He's transformed into Kamen Rider Kabuto in Masked Form.
(Kamen Rider Kabuto, Masked Form— height: 190cm; Weight: 132kg; Punching Power: 8t; Kicking Power: 10t; Maximum Running Speed: 100m/8.9s; Maximum Jumping Height: 20m; Senses: 10km; Defense Rating: 8; Finisher Power: none)
Machine Aikusha transforms into a red motorcycle; the Kabuto Extender (length: 2.02m; height: 0.7m; width: 1.17m; weight: 300kg; power source: Tachyon Engine; top speed: 410km/h).
Noriko is amazed, "Would you look at that? Your Machine Aikusha just transmuted again, this time into the Kabuto Extender!"
In Souji Tendou's voice, KR Aikusha/Kabuto says "I'd duck for cover if I were you." Noriko realized he's going to send the exterior shell of his armor off flying into his opponents if possible, or Cast Off, so she ducks.
Getting ready, KR Aikusha/Kabuto calls out "Cast Off!" as he pulls the horn back.
"CAST OFF!" calls the Kabuto Zecter.
Sure enough, the outer armor flies off and into the two Worms, knocking them off their feet. Noriko sees that Aikusha/Kabuto's armor is now has more red and is slightly slimmer. A single red horn folds up to make his visor two eyes. Once completed the eyes and a little light in the base of the horn light up, signaling his readiness for battle. This is Kamen Rider Kabuto in Rider Form.
"CHANGE BEETLE!"
(Kamen Rider Kabuto, Rider Form— height: 195cm; Weight: 95kg; Punching Power: 3t; Kicking Power: 7t; Maximum Running Speed: 100m/5.8s; Maximum Jumping Height: 37m; Senses: 10km; Defense Rating: 6; Finisher Power: 19t)
Realizing the threat level, the two Worms turned red and molted, revealing their newer stronger forms; the Lanpyrisworm (firefly) and the Epilachnaworm (ladybug).
Predicting that they may use Clock Up, their ability to move close to the speed of light, KR Aikusha/Kabuto slaps his trusty button on the side of his belt, "Clock Up."
"CLOCK UP!"
The world suddenly slowed down immensely; Noriko's hair that was blowing in a sudden breeze suddenly stands still, the birds fleeing the scene have seem to be frozen in midair, and the people hiding from the chaos look almost like statues to KR Aikusha/Kabuto.
The two Worms become an exception a few moments later before attacking KR Aikusha/Kabuto, assuming that he's going to be easy to hit.
But he caught them both by surprise and slugged them both.
The Worms slow down, with their Clock Up canceled, enough for KR Aikusha/Kabuto to finish them off.
"CLOCK OVER!"
"Grandmother said this;" says KR Aikusha/Kabuto (obviously quoting Souji Tendou) "'if you wish it to be so, luck will always be on your side."'
"Darn," blinks Noriko in surprise "and Masaru's streak of luck is wider than most people when he's Kabuto."
He presses the buttons on his Zecter before resetting it, "1, 2, 3!"
"Rider Kick!" calmly says KR Aikusha/Kabuto as he pulls the horn back again.
"RIDER KICK!"
Electricity-like subspace tachyon energies are absorbed and focused through the eyes and horn before flowing down into his right leg's foot. The Worms come at him and he takes down both of them in a single roundhouse kick. The Worms both explode in green flames.
KR Aikusha/Kabuto presents his de-transformation card and waves it over his Zecter——
"Rider Change: Kamen Rider Aikusha."
ZAP! He's KR Aikusha again.
KR Aikusha gives Noriko a hand to help her up again, "Are you okay?"
Noriko somewhat personally wanted to prove she's capable of getting up on her own, but she understands if she acts stubborn the public would suspect something between them, so she places her hand in his and he helps her up again. Pretending that she just met him, Noriko says "Thank you, sir."
KR Aikusha spots a rhinoceros-like humanoid kaijin called Zu-Zain-Da (or the Rhinoceros Grongi), in English he says "A new hero and a new legend… begins today."
He pulls out another card and waves it over his Booker.
"Hero Change: Kamen Rider Kuuga!"
The Driver and Booker transmute into the Arcle.
"Henshin!"
A whoosh of invisible energy formed red armor over his body, with a golden stag beetle-like horn on the helmet. He's now Kamen Rider Kuuga!
(Kamen Rider Kuuga, Mighty Form— height: 200cm; Weight: 99kg; Punching Power: 3t; Kicking Power: 7t; Maximum Running Speed: 100m/5.2s; Maximum Jumping Height: 15m; Senses: 10x; Defense Rating: 6; Mighty Kick: 30t)
Zu-Zain-Da dashes at KR Aikusha/Kuuga, only to find the double-transformed Kamen Rider yelling out "KORIAAAH!" while flying in with his Mighty Kick finisher!
The horn of the kaijin is smashed, leaving only the mark of Kuuga glowing in its face and the mark creates fissures leading to the buckle of the monster's belt before it explodes!
Kamen Rider Aikusha/Kuuga gives Noriko the Kuuga signature thumb's up to her, she smiles and returns it, inwardly she thinks to herself 'Man, Kuuga's good nature is infectious.'
KR Aikusha changes back——
"Rider Change: Kamen Rider Aikusha."
KR Aikusha says to onlookers, "I still sense danger here, good citizens of Tokyo. Please run to safety and quickly." The innocents took heed to his words and ran for it.
Noriko says, "Way to weed out the kaijin, some of them remind me of the Fangires from Kamen Rider Kiva."
KR Aikusha flashes a Hero Change Card depicting KR Kiva and says "Ask and you shall receive" as he waves it over his Aikusha Booker.
"Hero Change: Kamen Rider Kiva!"
Aikusha's belt entirely transformed into Kivat the 3rd. In a different man's voice, KR Aikusha says "This could hurt."
Noriko realizes "Hey, it just occurred to me; why is your voice and persona slightly different each time you change into a different Rider?"
The beltless KR Aikusha removes his helmet, "I guess we'll find out."
Noriko gasps, blushes like a tomato, and quickly turns around screaming "You've actually turned into the hot Rider, Wataru Kurenai?! Hurry up and transform into Kiva already!"
Masaru looks at his reflection in the water and, much to his surprise, he has transformed into Wataru Kurenai (brown hair, eyes, incredible handsomeness, and everything), sort of. Masaru blinks, "I guess, if I should be able to use the original/fictional Kamen Riders' powers and forms, I should turn into them firsthand. That would explain how I look and feel like I'm both me and someone else at the same."
Kivat says, "Let's go, Masaru!" Masaru/Wataru nods, "Right."
Ripping the left glove off and presenting the hand, Kivat shouts "GABU!" (Bite)
Fangire marking surfaces on Masaru/Wataru's face, followed by the Kivat Belt materializing out of several ghostly chains wrapping around his waist.
Grabbing onto Kivat, Masaru/Wataru stoically says "Henshin!" and then perches Kivat into the Power Roost of the belt's Kibuckle to transform.
Ghostly sounds fill the air as his body becomes metallic silver and then shifts into a new form before shattering revealing that vampire motif armored form of black, silver, and blood red; Kamen Rider Kiva.
(Kamen Rider Kiva, Kiva Form— height: 200cm; Weight: 98kg; Punching Power: 6t; Kicking Power: 8t; Maximum Running Speed: 100m/6.5s; Maximum Jumping Height: 85m; Senses: 20x; Defense Rating: 6; Darkness Moon Break: 30t)
The Machine Aikusha does a similar transformation into the red Harley/Honda Shadow-like motorcycle of Kiva, Machine Kivaa (length: 2.51m; height: 1.09m; width: 0.94m; curb weight: 220kg; top speed: 520km/h (0 to 400km/h in 3.2s); maximum output: 367.5kw/8500rpm).
KR Kiva pulls out the green fish-like Baashaa Fuestle and places it into Kivat's mouth, "A weapon for your protection, Noriko-san." Noriko blinks in confusion, "Ara?"
Kivat calls out as he blew the Fuestle (producing its trumpet-like call), "Baashaa Magnum!"
Noriko hears watery crashing nearby and turns to see the mighty Castle Doran coming out of the sea before launching the Baashaa Magnum in her direction.
Nervous, Noriko reaches out for the green gillman-like statuette and grabs onto it. As the weapon changes into its gun form, Noriko goes into a slight transformation too. Her blue-green eyes turn bright emerald green, her hair gains some smooth emerald green streaks, the hand wielding the weapon turns emerald green and the right sleeve and front of her blouse turn fish-like and emerald green. She also loses all feelings of stress due to the weapon's influence.
Both KR Aikusha/Kiva and Noriko took on all Fangires, limiting their numbers down quickly.
Close to the end, KR Aikusha/Kiva places the Wake Up Feustle into Kivat's mouth——
"Wake Up!"
Kivat flies off the Power Roost to the Rider's right and above his head.
KR Kiva/Aikusha moves his left foot forward with his red gloved and armored arms spread out to his sides at waist height.
Kivat flies behind and around the Rider, blowing the Wake Up Fuestle, causing day to turn into night as a full moon hung in the sky slowly waning. As it did so, Kiva/Aikusha slowly crosses his arms in front of his chest at the wrists, his palms facing outward.
Then the Rider kicks up with his right leg high and keeps it there while the moon soon becomes a crescent moon. His arms shot out the sides keeping him steady.
Kivat flies to the chained boot and twisted around it three times as it sounds like was releasing or weakening the Catena Chains that are holding the Hell's Gate closed. When the little bat-like entity was finished, the chains burst off and the outer layer opens up into demonic bat-like wings while revealing the blood red inner layer with three green gems running down the leg.
Benging the left leg a bit, KR Kiva/Aikusha shot straight up into the air until he is in front of the crescent moon. He keeps his back to the remaining Fangires and his left leg close to his body. He quietly calls out "Darkness Moon Break."
With that, he flips forward and shoots toward the Fangire with a flying front kick, using the winged right leg.
KR Aikusha/Kiva smashes the kick into the small group of Fangire left, pushing them all backwards along with himself thanks to the force behind the kick before he slams them against a building's wall. The force of the attack leaves a massive crater in the form of bat wings and crescent moon between the top points (Kiva's insignia) is made.
Aikusha/Kiva keeps his left foot on the ground while keeping the Fangires against the wall with his right. The Fangires' bodies turn into fragile rainbow-colored glass, then with a burst of energy along with a final push of his foot, the Fangires he just kicked shatter like glass leaving white glowing orbs rising from where the bodies stood; the Fangire Souls.
Meanwhile, the Merman-empowered Noriko was spinning around shooting down a lot of Fangires.
Night returns to day as Castle Doran comes down to the ground and eats all the Fangire Souls floating about.
Deciding that it was enough, KR Aikusha/Kiva pulled out his Aikusha Rider Card. Kivat sighs, "It's nice to be real in this universe every once and a while, but there's only 2 minutes and 32 seconds left before the card runs out of strength." Kivat bit down on the card——
"Rider Change: Kamen Rider Aikusha."
KR Aikusha and his complete belt return to normal, without any missing glove or helmet, then the Baashaa Magnum disappears back into Castle Doran and then the dragon/castle entity changes into a spade-shaped spacecraft-like vehicle with the insignia of Aikusha.
KR Aikusha analyzes it, "That's definitely mine; Cruiser Aikusha." Noriko, feeling calmer in an aftereffect, says "This is getting cooler and better."
As the Cruiser Aikusha vanishes in a flash of light, KR Aikusha spots a certain fictional villain Rider of gray and black; Shadow Moon (height: 199cm; Weight: 90kg; Punching Power: 6t; Kicking Power: 10t; Maximum Running Speed: 100m/4.5s; Maximum Jumping Height: 35m; Senses: 15km; Defense Rating: 7; Finisher Power: 25t).
KR Aikusha sighs in a bored fashion, "I don't feel like going BLACK RX, it's almost been a decade since I've missed this device. I'll go Decade." He pulls out the Kamen Rider Decade Hero Change Card and waves it over his Booker.
"Hero Change: Kamen Rider Decade!"
His belt transmutes into the Decadriver in belt form complete with the Rider Booker weapon, he pulls the sides of the 'buckle' causing the center to turn to its side so he can transform into Decade!
"Henshin!"
Inserting the KamenRide Card for KR Decade in and then resetting the buckle to its original position——
"KAMENRIDE: DECADE!"
10 figures of light with different symbols surrounded him and encased him forming his armor, with 10 cards flying into the face of his helmet as the finishing touch; he's become Kamen Rider Decade.
Shadow Moon gets his twin Satan Sabers to appear in his hands before charging it, KR Aikusha/Decade is prepared for that by placing in an AttackRide Card.
"ATTACKRIDE: ILLUSION!"
KR Aikusha/Decade multiplies into three copies and dodges each blow Shadow Moon tries to land, then one with his Ride Booker in Gun Mode shoots at Shadow Moon's back and the one with his Ride Booker in Sword Mode strikes hard against the left shoulder, while the one in the center throws in a yellow-colored Final AttackRide Card——
"FINAL ATTACKRIDE: DE-DE-DECADE!"
Ten human-sized gold card-like energy fields appeared before KR Aikusha/Decade before he jumps up, with the projections lining up for his attack, and performs a flying side kick through the fields to create a highly energized kick to land on Shadow Moon——
"Dimension Kick!"
Shadow Moon explodes upon impact.
KR Aikusha/Decade shrugs "Heh, wasn't so hard since I've memorized his skill and power."
Then he walks forward while changing back——
"Rider Change: Kamen Rider Aikusha."
The reason is because he is facing the Snake Shocker Inhumanoid from the movie 'Kamen Rider the First'. The two go head to head while KR Aikusha swiftly works to transform into the appropriate Rider to change into.
"Hero Change: Kamen Rider Ichigo!"
The Aikusha Driver and Booker transform into the Typhoon Belt of Kamen Rider 1.
KR Aikusha calls out, "Rider Henshin!" before throwing his right arm at a diagonal to his right then rotates it clock-wise until it's a diagonal to his left, then he retracts it to his waist and thrusts out his left arm at a diagonal to his right. WHOOSH! FLASH! KR Aikusha has transformed into KR Ichigo.
The green and black leaps toward the Snake to punch it, "Rider Punch!"
Then he does a high-powered karate chop at the stunned Snake, "Rider Chop!"
Finally, KR Aikusha/Ichigo jumps up and performs a flying side kick into the chest of the Snake, "Rider Kick!"
The Snake explodes.
"Rider Change: Kamen Rider Aikusha."
KR Aikusha says, "This is getting over the top. Just what in the world is going on here?!"
Seeing a gorilla-like flamethrower, Fire Kong of Dogma Kingdom, and a lot of red-suited Dogmafighter foot soldiers coming at him, KR Aikusha quickly transforms his belt——
"Hero Change: Kamen Rider Super-1!"
The belt transforms and so does his hands.
"Henshin!"
FLASH! In a shower of rainbow light, he transforms the black and silver hornet-themed space-exploring Kamen Rider, Super-1!
(Kamen Rider Super-1— height: 186cm; Weight: 82kg; Punching Power: 7t; Kicking Power: 10t; Maximum Running Speed: 100m/4s; Maximum Jumping Height: 50m; Senses: 10km; Defense Rating: 8; Super Rider Kick: 50t)
With the Dogmafighters surrounding him, KR Aikusha/Super-1 presses a blue button on his belt's right side, while calling out "Change! Eleki Hands!" his gloves turn blue with electric gauges and golden lightning designs. The gauges light up and then bolts of electricity fry the Dogmafighters exploding.
Facing Fire Kong, KR Aikusha/Super-1 presses a green button on the left side of his belt and calls out "Change! Reinetsu Hands!" changing his silver gloves into green gloves with a blue-coded device (cryogenic sprayer) on the right and a red-coded one (flamethrower) on the left.
Fire Kong shoots a stream of fire at the Kamen Rider, who counters it with a spray of cold from his right glove before causing further damage to the kaijin with the left glove's flames.
KR Aikusha/Super-1 jumps up and performs a flying side kick at the damaged Fire Kong——
"Super Rider Kick!"
Seconds after the kick made impact on the mechanical space kaijin, it exploded.
"Rider Change: Kamen Rider Aikusha."
Changing back to KR Aikusha, another Spider Mutant (from 'Kamen Rider BLACK') comes up at him. Before coming up with another change into another Rider——
"Why the heck are you running around like your favorite heroes when you possibly still have your own untested?" hisses Noriko. Aikusha gasps and slaps the side of his helmet, "OMG! YOU'RE RIGHT!"
KR Aikusha slugs it out onto the Spider Mutant with a few punches, then he kicks the creature further back.
While the kaijin concentrates on getting back up, KR Aikusha pulls out his triangular weapon from its holster on his belt and pulls sides to reveal a black handle and a blaster nozzle. The nozzle shifts outward while the handle shifts about 37 degrees downward, then the weapon says in a mechanical voice, "Aikusha Saver, Gun Mode."
"Aikusha Saver?" blinks Noriko in confusion, "What does Aikusha's name mean anyway."
KR Aikusha checks his Booker/buckle and finds a Rider Attack Card with his Booker with his insignia, weapon in gun mode, and name of function on it reading 'Rider Attack: Bullet'. He waves it at his weapon, then it speaks as the card disappears back into the Booker——
"Rider Attack: Bullet!"
He aims at the Spider Mutant and pulls the trigger at it, having his weapon fire bullets at it. KR Aikusha pulls out another card and waves it over the weapon——
"Rider Attack: Rapid-Fire!"
He pulls the trigger of his weapon at the kaijin's abdomen, then his Aikusha Saver fires bullets at an amazingly rapid succession rate. KR Aikusha then says with a pleased tone of voice, "Sweet."
Another enemy jumps into the scene, a Kamen Rider-like entity reminiscent of KR Decade except he's all black with sickly purple eyepieces, wielding a sword and slashing at KR Aikusha's back and sending him flying.
Noriko screams in shock, "MASARU!"
KR Aikusha groans, "Okay, I did not see that coming."
The Black Decade (who has a demonic version of the original's voice) says, "I was sent to kill you, Kamen Rider Aikusha." KR Aikusha says, "What did I do to you in some past life?" The entity doesn't answer; he just attacks with his respective Booker in Sword Mode.
Dodging the attacks, Aikusha then says "Wonder if it has a melee mode of some kind." He reforms his weapon into its original form from the holster and unveiled the handle again to a completely straight form, just to hear the weapon say "Aikusha Saver, Sword Mode." Then a large beam of green light flows from the nozzle with a thin red energy beam until it turns into a green and red crystalline blade. KR Aikusha stares at it, "Sugoi!"
Black Decade mercilessly charges in and attacks, but KR Aikusha sees it coming this time and parries the metal blade to stab into the core of the black Decadriver-like buckle of the entity. KR Aikusha says, "I've learned 20 years of swordsmanship in two days and learned the Kamen Riders' swords styles by mimicking them perfectly, I've got you beat."
"That may be enough to damage my powers and abilities," grunts out Black Decade in pain "but I'm still standing." Then he heard the weapon call out——
"Rider Finisher: Aikusha Rider Slash!"
A projection of the card used for this function is absorbed into the crystal blade, which starts glowing very brightly immediately as soon as it vanishes into the blade!
Obviously smirking under his helmet, KR Aikusha says, "The hand is quicker than the eye." Black Decade utters out, "Kuso!" KR Aikusha had snuck a waved a card that can power up a finisher that could finish off an enemy, just some time when Black Decade wasn't looking.
"You damn copycat bastard…" growls Black Decade. KR Aikusha retorts, "That's a 6th grade compliment. Besides it takes one to know one."
FLASH! KR Aikusha's insignia flashes between him and the Black Decade, and then a powerful force sends him backwards with the insignia glowing upon his destroyed buckle getting bigger. As Black Decade hits the wall of the side of a building, the insignia fades away before he explodes and leaving a green-white-and-red energy symbol in midair that's about 10 times the size of the original before it too fades away.
Turning back to the down Spider Mutant, who managed to get back up during the confusion, but not enough to evade its impending fate——
Putting the Saver away, KR Aikusha says "Now for my own ultimate attack (hissatsu waza)" as he waves another Rider Finisher Card over the Aikusha Booker——
"Rider Finisher: Aikusha Rider Kick!"
An energy field of the card appears before him, it unfolds into his insignia, then he leaps up with the symbol of energy lining up with him for his kick, flips, and then unleashes a flying side kick with his right foot through the insignia (which is then absorbed into another insignia on the sole of his boot), thrusting towards the Spider Mutant of Gorgom——
"Aikusha Rider Kick!"
As the kick makes impact on the Spider Mutant, KR Aikusha surfs on him like a skateboard down the asphalt road before slowing to a stop.
He walks away casually, with another energy insignia glowing on the Mutant's chest, where his respective Rider Kick made impact, and then it explodes.
Noriko, who is still watching everything from hiding behind the Machine Aikusha, gaps in surprise "Wow."
KR Aikusha checks the surroundings and then steps up to his motorcycle…
"Man…" sighs KR Aikusha "what a rush."
Noriko whispers, "Let's get out of here before the authorities ask questions." KR Aikusha nods, he removes his Aikusha Booker and says "Off." Upon command, his armor vanishes in a blizzard of white pixels. His Machine Aikusha then transforms into a regular motorcycle, which was obviously familiar to them——
Masaru exclaims, "It's my bike! No wonder why it felt so familiar to me in the first place!" Noriko nods, "Whoa, it certainly is; right down to the license plate."
Hiding out in a juice bar next to Noriko's uncle's home, the two listen to the news on the television and are glad to hear that neither of them is going to be questioned about these incidents. But Masaru's feels excited about being praised by the people he saved in his newly discovered alter ego; Kamen Rider Aikusha."
Masaru sighs, "I'm a Kamen Rider… a real live one." Noriko looks at him and says, "Calm down, buster. Take your energy out on the gymnasium in Uncle Takeshi's basement." Masaru shrugs and than gives the Hibiki salute, "Ciao."
Noriko looks on at the 18-year-old Kamen Rider/harem fan turned genuine Rider hopping around like an excited person who looks like he's just won the lottery.
She pulls out a red heart-shaped device from her pocket and looks at it, "Maybe I should study up on my Kamen Riders too."
To be continued…
Next time on Kamen Rider Aikusha; "Green and Pink"— Masaru looks over the other cards that don't work and discovers that like he has to travel to a different world. Noriko is against it but despite her pleads, Masaru wishes to go through with his possible fate. In another Kaijin attack, Masaru sees a pink Kamen Rider. Who is she? What do the other cards do? What other universes will he travel into? Love and Justice connects everything.
