A/N: HI READER
So you may be wondering, why I've posted a new story instead of updating my others. Well…..I'm at a loss with the others and wanna do something new.
So this is Era, where the main characters will travel to many worlds of anime/games/ TV shows. Getting powers from the protagonist of said franchises, and saving the worlds!
With nothing more to say, let's start this train wreck!
RIDER TIME!
Episode 1: Time for a New Hero 2020!
Explosions! Destruction! FIRE!
These three words are used to describe the battle taking place within this barren world. Multiple shadowed figures fight one another, unable to see who is who. There were lasers, bullets, and swords of all kinds.
Suddenly time had stopped, and a single set of footsteps were heard through the battle field.
Through the frozen warriors, an armoured figure walked passed each shadow. None could tell who the figure was, for no details were seen of him. Except one word in bright purple letters where his head is.
ERA.
"Of course this kinda crap happens to me!" A twenty year old boy said to himself as he run through the streets of London. He has brown shaggy hair with blue eyes. He wore an unzipped short sleeved orange jacket over a purple long sleeved shirt with black jeans and black shoes.
'My alarm clock just had to be two hours off! Well, the first day is never the best, so I shouldn't worry too much!'
"What do you mean?! I didn't even get to interview!" The boy cried out to the man in front of him.
"Sorry kid, but it's your own fault for being late. This business require people to be at a hundred percent." The employer said with the up most of pride.
"This is a Costa Coffee, what does it matter if I was five minutes late?" The teen deadpanned.
The employer huffed and crossed his arms. "Well it's obvious you don't care, so I'll have to ask you leave Mr Jones." The teen sighed and left the cafe.
Later on, the teen was sitting on one of the water fountains in Trafalgar Square. "That could've gone better."
"Idiot!" The next thing the teen knew he was slammed on the head by a rolled up newspaper. He rubbed his head and looked to the person who whacked him.
She was the same age as the boy, and had short ginger hair with glasses covering her green eyes. She wore a white crop top under a denim jacket with skinny jeans.
"How could you wake up late?!" She yelled at him.
"Yeah-yeah nice seeing you too Becky." He sighed standing. Becky huffed and handed him the newspaper. "What's this?"
"Job list. You need to find something new now." She started to walk away, the teen following. "Honestly Mat, you need to stop staying up so late watching that shit on the internet."
"I beg your pardon?" Mat asked her. "Shit? I'll have you know that Toku is a form of film art."
"Sure thing nerd." She shook her head. "You need to find a job Mat, you can't expect to live with me and my dad all your life."
"And I'm telling you Becky, I know I'm destined for something. Everyone has a purpose in life, I just need to find mine." Mat shrugged. He flipped through the newspaper, finding the page with all the job adds.
And oh so suddenly a gust of wind blew the newspaper from Matthew's hands, flying through the streets. "Hey, come back here!" He started chasing the paper.
"Matthew, get back here!" Becky chased after Matthew who was chasing a newspaper.
Little the two knew, a hooded figure watched them, and he would change of their lives forever.
In a park near the Square, families were enjoying the sunny day. A group of children were playing tag near a large tree. One of the kids running felt his foot hit something.
Looking down, he saw he was standing on a black watch like object with an evil looking blue robot on it. "Oh wow." He picked it up and ran over to his friends.
"Hey guys look at this!" He showed it to his friends.
"What is it?"
"I don't know but it looks cool!"
"Ooh! Ooh! Press the button on top!"
The first kid looked at the watch and grinned as he pressed the button.
MEGA MAN!
The watch sparked, making the kid drop it. It seemed as though space and time shifted around the watch, forming into a human like shape which made the kids run away.
The shape now resembles Mega Man, but without a human face and more robotic, and looks more evil and grotesque. On one shoulder it says MEGA MAN and on the other it says 1987.
The monster made some robotic beeping noises and raised its Mega Buster arm, firing at anything, causing a total panic. The police came by in a moment's notice, pointing their guns at it.
"Freeze! Hands up you…whatever you are!" The monstrous Mega Man made more beeping noises before it aimed its Mega Buster at them. Instead if instantly firing, it charged up a big shot that destroyed the police cars and knocking the police out cold.
The hooded figure from before looked upon the ensuring chaos, holding a book in his hands. "And so it begins, hopefully my Hero is ready."
"What about the night shift at a pizzeria?" Becky suggested, the two now sitting on a bench looking through the jobs list.
"God no, I've played too much FNAF to want that job!" Mat denied.
"You can't base real life off video games."
"Of course I can." He sighed, they went through every single job on the list with no good outcome. "I just can't seem to find anything, maybe I can join the army?"
"Knowing you, that's not a good choice."
"You saying I'm not good enough?" Becky only shrugged, not answering him. "Guess I'm at a loss then." He leaned backwards on the bench.
He heard an object clank against the ground, just as a hooded figure walked past them. "Excuse me, sir? You dropped this!"
The figure ignores them, seeming to be reading a book. Matthew looked at the fallen object, looking at it with slight confusion.
The object was a black and watch shaped. The face had nothing special, just a couple grey gears. "What the hell is this, a Ride Watch?"
*BOOM!*
The two's heads spun to where the explosion was heard, seeing a clouds of smoke rise up. They also noticed police cars and fire trucks zooming by.
"What's happening?" Becky asks, panic laced on her face.
"I don't know, but we should check it out."
"Are you insane?!" Matthew didn't answer, but only ran in the direction of the chaos. "Idiot!" She chased after her idiot friend.
As they ran, they didn't notice the blank Ride-Watch glowed a slight purple.
When the two got to the park, they were shocked at what they saw.
The monstrous Mega Man was rampaging through the area, swatting police away and blasting lasers in all directions.
"The fuck is that thing?!" Matthew yelled with wide eyes.
"Hold on, doesn't it look a little familiar Mat? It looks a lot like…"
"Mega Man." The two jumped as a third vice spoke, this one belonging to the hooded figure.
"Wait a sec, you're the guy from before." Matthew remembered. "Who are you?"
"My name isn't important as of now." He opened the book in his hands. "According to this book, two outcomes can happen. One, Another Mega Man will destroy this city and kill all its inhabitants. Or two, you use that Watch to become a hero needed for the sake of time and space."
"Beg your pardon?" Matthew then noticed the Ride-Watch glowed purple as it changed appearance. The body was now purple with a dial around it being orange. The face of the watch was slanted sideways showing a white helmet and two black parts, one having the Zi-O logo and the other having the number 2000. "This isn't real, this is some sorta stupid trick isn't it?"
"Afraid not, my Hero." The figure removed his hood, showing a man in his late teens possible seven or eight teen. He has green hair combed over to one side and red eyes. "To fight this threat to the Fourth Wall, I gift you this." He reached into a bag that hung from his shoulder, bringing out something wrapped in cloth.
Matthew took it and unwrapped the object, showing it to be a Ziku Driver. "Okay, this has gotta be fake, right?"
"Only one way to find out." The guy smiled, backing away a step or two. Matthew looked at the Driver, before shrugging in defeat.
"To hell with it…" He brought the Driver down to his waist, making a buckle strap around him, shocking Matthew and Becky.
ZIKU DRIVER!
Another Mega Man stopped its rampage and looked at Matthew, beeping furiously. Mat looked at the watch in his hands, before turning the dial, making a full face and pressing the button.
ERA!
He slotted the watch in the right side of the Driver before pressing the button atop, making it slant sideways. The Driver started to let out standby music that sounded like music from Back to the Future. "Henshin!" He made the Driver do a 360 degree spin with a DONG sound.
RIDER TIME! (DUN-DUN-DUN) KAMEN! (DUN-DUN-DUN) RIDER! (DUN-DUN) E~~~R~~~A~~~~!
Multiple clock shaped energy rings spin around him, a giant clock behind him spelling ERA in purple before it flies off as his suit forms. His body suit is orange with purple armour on his shoulders and purple stripes on his arms, legs and back of hands. And going down the chest plate is a gold watch strap. The helmet has a white faceplate and two gold watch hands sticking out. The letters from the giant clock flew onto his visor, the words ERA glowing.
"Behold!" The green haired teen exclaimed, his book open "For the hero of time and space has made his debut! Travelling world to world, collecting powers of the greatest of heroes! Protecting the Fourth Wall is his mission, and he shall fulfil it. He is Kamen Rider Era!"
"Era huh?" Mat overlooked his new attire. "I like it. Come on tin man, let's go!" Mat ran to Another Mega Man, who raised his Mega Buster to shoot at him.
Mat ducked and sidestepped most of the shots and landed a punch on the Kaijin's chest, making the Rider pull it back in pain. The Another Hero rose its Buster arm and blasted Mat in the chest, sending flying back.
Mat landed on the ground with a grunt, pushing himself back up. "Right, it's got a metal body. How am I gonna get through its armour?"
As Mat finished that sentence, purple lights came from the Driver, forming in the shape of a scythe. The weapon was mostly black with a purple blade and writing say REAP.
ZIKAN RIPPER!
REAP!
Another Mega Man shot another blast at Mat, who deflected it with his new weapon. He charged at the Another Hero, slashing it with his Zikan Ripper. With one slash, the blade dug into the monster's arm.
"Eh?!" Mat tried pulling it out, and with one last tug he pulled it out, losing his grasp and making it flail into the sky. "Ah shit!" He ducked under a punch swung from Another Mega Man before he kicked its chest and jumped for his scythe.
He grabbed it, and folded it into a shotgun with an orange barrel and writing saying KABLAM.
KABLAM!
As he descended, he cocked his Ripper and shot an energy blast at Another Mega Man, making it stumble back. He landed with a role, cocking his gun function and firing more blasts at the monster.
Mat looked over his weapon, noticing a part of it had a holster for Ride-Watches. He takes the Era watch out of the Driver and placed it in the Ripper.
FINISH TIME!
He cocked his gun again, orange energy building in the barrel.
ERA! BIG BANG SHOOTING!
He pulled the trigger, blasting a huge orange laser at Another Mega Man. The attack made the monster dig its feet into the ground, dragging it across the dirt.
"Now's my chance!" Matthew slotted the Ride-Watch back into the Driver and pressed the button on top.
FINISH TIME!
The standby music played again, and he pressed the button on the Driver before making it do a 360 turn again.
TIME STRIKE!
Mat jumped to the sky, two rows of energy, one purple the other orange, appeared in line with his boots. The purple one said KI while the orange one said CK. Matthew rose his boots so that he crashed through each KICK in front of him.
He continued to fall until he double kicked the Another Hero, causing an explosion that left it as a watch. No one noticed as it sunk into a small portal.
"Oh jeez what a rush!" Matthew removed the Ride-Watch from the Driver, making the suit disappear.
"Mat that was amazing!" Becky ran up to him, shaking him with excitement.
"I know it was. But why did that thing look like Mega Man?" Mat questioned.
"I can answer that, my Hero." The teen from before walked up to them. "That was an Another Hero, a monster born from pure hatred used to try take over this world. The reason it looked like Mega Man, was because it came from Mega Man's world."
"Okay. Well, at least I killed it." He crossed his arms with pride.
"Far from it, my Hero." Mat looked back at the teen. "You merely returned it to its stasis form. To absolutely destroy it, you need to use the original's powers. And to do that, you must transverse this world." He snapped his fingers, making a portal open behind him. "If you take this path, you'll begin your destiny."
"My destiny? You mean I'll find my purpose?" The teen nodded. Mat started to take steps to the portal, but was grabbed by the arm, stopping him. "Becky?"
"You can't just leave, you have a life here! You can't just go off with some random guy that gives you a cool suit! You'd leave us all behind…" She teared up.
"Becky…I have nothing here. I've been orphaned, abandoned, and lost all hope of any kind of future I could have. Becky, I've found my purpose." He wiped away one of her falling tears, and wiped away one of his. "Please, let me go." Slowly but surely, she let go of his arm. The two shared a hug before Mat caught up with the green haired teen.
"If we're doing this, I'm gonna have to know your name." Mat said to the teen, the two looking into the portal.
"My name is Ban, and I shall guide you my Hero." Ban bowed, much to the confusion of Matthew. "Shall we?" The two then walked into the portal, beginning a new adventure.
[The world of ?]
The two walked out the portal into a city of technological beauty. There were robots and humans walking around everywhere. A giant neon sign saying welcome to Mega City.
"This place…" Mat was about to comment, if not for the random screaming of many civilians.
The two world travellers looked to the direction of the chaos, seeing a small army of green robots with a cannon on one arm and a shield on the other marched down the streets.
"Sniper Joes?" Matthew was about ready to turn into Era, but was cut short when a blue energy sphere crashed in between him and the Sniper Joes. When it cleared, there stood a small blue robot with a human face. He threw his right arm to the side, transforming it into an arm cannon.
"There he is," Ban spoke up, looking over a page in his book. "I give you the hero of this world, Mega Man."
Next time, on Kamen Rider Era!
Matthew: Oh wow, actual Mega Man?!
Mega: What's this Wily? You tried making me?
Dr Wily: Bring the Robots to me Another Mega Man!
Ban: To defeat Another Mega Man, you need the original's power.
Matthew: This is gonna be Mega Easy!
Episode Two: Humans and Robots 1987!
A/N: I'm sorry this is short, but it's just the beginning.
Anyways I hope you like this, maybe even enough to leave happy little reviews. And if you have any ideas for worlds for Matthew and other Riders to travel to let me know.
I got nothing else to say, so I'll see you next time.
BYE, BYE.
