Author's Introduction:
Good day, hi. Honestly, I'm super awkward, and I'm not entirely sure as to how to introduce myself. Let's just call me by my usual, I'm ArcDragoon. Let me please inform the readers that this is my first fanfiction publication. I do have real life obligations and all so I cannot guarantee to churn out chapters. However, I will do my best to keep to a consistent schedule. For now, I am aiming for at least an episode every two weeks. As a warning, I'm not entirely sure where my writing style will be taking this story, so I am going to mark it under as 'mature' as possible. Also, understand that I will be writing episodically, by that I mean I will be writing whole episodes splintered by chapters. Each chapter itself may be short, but as a whole episode it should be decently lengthy.

Now, before you begin reading the story, I want to let you all know what I'll be writing. This is a fanfiction piece involving the characters from "Star vs the Forces of Evil," but it is an alternate universe depiction. I will be doing a crossover, using elements from another source that I do not see much written on. This story will be a Kamen Rider crossover, specifically Kamen Rider Blade. I've been mulling on this idea for a while. At first I wanted to do a large scale story, but after a bit of time, I decided that I wanted to at least finish my story. So, I scaled down. Now, if you picked this up, chances are you did so because you're a SvtFE fan and I don't know how many if any of you are Kamen Rider fans, but don't worry you don't need to know anything about the franchise. I will do my best to explain the details. If you have further interest, or would at least look a few things up for a visual reference, please do so.

I guess let's start.

A large golden book fell upon the floor with a loud thump. The weight of the book echoed in a dimly lit gray room. With groaning effort the cover of the book opened, the spine of the leatherback stretching for what seemed to be the first time in thousands if not more years. Dust radiated from the pages as they flipped, only to stop as a little blue man emerged from the pages. Dressed in a pale yellow robe, with a magenta jewel encrusted in his unproportionally large forehead when compared to the rest of him, the diminutive man opened his eyes to reveal diamond shaped irises and pupils. He looked down his long nose and beneath his white beard that parted at the end.

He yawned and stretched, his bones and muscles creaked like old floorboards. "Oh dear. How long has it been? Uh-huh, uh-huh." He looked to the opened pages of the book. "Looks like… almost ten thousand years?! That's not right, I'm pretty sure that ten thousand years give or take doesn't equate to forever. Who woke us up so early?" The blue man knife handed the book, revealing five fingers and a thumb. "Oh, don't give me that sass, the deal was to seal everything forever, this does not look like forever. See, it is an obvious mistake to have woken me up. As you can see all of-"

He squinted to look at a large slab of stone that laid against the wall opposite of the opening in the room. He floated towards the slab. At first glance it looked like any other slab of stone, but upon close inspection there were square grooves carved into it. There were a total of fifty-two similar grooves.

"This is not good… who or what could've… I know, I know. We have to find them." His finger traced the outline of a groove. "But you know that I can't do this by myself if they've awoken. I'll have to also awaken… it."

The book seemingly jumped from the cold floor onto a pedestal in the middle of the room, landing with a dull thud.

"What?! What do you expect this old man to do? You know that I can't directly interfere if it has begun again. I have to get help and the only thing that could help us is THAT," he stated matter of factly.

The pages in the book flipped fervently as in disagreement.

The blue man hovered up to the book and gave it an incredulous look. "Don't complain, that was the purpose of its inception and creation. I mean what's the worse thing that could happen?"

The book stopped with its flipping, as if it were rolling its eyes at the little man.

"Okay, okay. Yes, that could happen. But I mean, it can't be worse than the alternative with them running around free to do what they want."

The book flipped pages back and forth until it opened on a page with chains sewn a cross it, an ominous skull in the middle of the page sealing the secrets that laid beyond it.

"So, we come to an agreement? It is time to open up the the card of fate." The diminutive blue man stuck his right index finger into his mouth, twirled it around between his lips, and then pulled it out with a popping noise. "Now, I agree this is disgusting, but-" Before finishing, he rapidly stuck the wet appendage into the mouth of the skull, only to turn it until a clicking noise echoed the room. The chains on the page freed itself, the skull crumpled into dust, and where the skull was, a card was now in its place. The card was black with a green heart-like design in the center. However, at a careful examination the heart-like design was also reminiscent of a green butterfly. In the top left and bottom right corner of the card was the word JOKER in blood red. "Time to wake up kiddo, rise and shine."
