Danganronpa: Spike Chunsoft/Kamen Rider: Toei

Beta-Reader: This debut is aided by Shyjoker, an indonesian fanfic writer who speaks english with the best of them.

(CFGX): This story is inspired by introduction of Danganronpa's Another Episode, and the idea that it's branching off from it's primary game genre (although it keeps its creepy vibe). This gives me an idea to take the series out of its comfort zone and experiment with a different genre. And what better than tokusatsu. I got curious and wondered what Kamen Rider would be like if it were based off the Danganronpa series, and here are the results. I really hope I'm able to please you all with this story.

And as an early note? I'm making this a SYOC system. So if you want to see a character in a story like this, you can by going to the bottom of this chapter. The rules are right there. Send whoever you want as long as they're creative.

P.S.: By the way, one character is inspired by one from 5-Digit. Rights of that character are his.

What is your thought when first enter High school? The thought of 'Just four more years of this and off to go a better life' flowing in? Had dreams when older and been holding onto that through the years? Are you one of those rich snobs living on silver spoons and think ready to set on.., well are you living on silver spoon? No? Then willing to work with heart out to the best at that dreams?

Feh! Good luck with that and you'll need a hell lot of it! 'Cause if you don't gone in the same place I'm at, then it's same as living a pipe dream! Those of you don't know what I'm talking about the TOP school in Japan -scratch that- the freaking world. Hope's Peak Academy what is I'm saying!

If I heard some question about; "What's so special about that school?" Then my man, you are living under the rock most of the decades. Stepping to that school means stepping to a life! After coming in and out from that school means their life already decided from them.

Jealous much..? You should be! Because this, amazing and greatest of the greatest school needs two things from yourself as one of them; One, already in high school and you gotta be at top of whatever there is to be best at! Forget the entrance exam! Hope's Peak's teachers set out and recruit these lucky guys to be students. Fun fact: these over-talented students of Hope's Peak are known far and why as 'Ultimates'!

I betting that you've been wondering why telling you this, didn't you?

Yep, you guessed bud!

I'm an Ultimate too, and NOT just any ordinary Ultimate..!

"I see him!"

Wait a minute… "Alright, let's get started!"

Oh, here's something I forgot to mention. Believe it or not, this is where the magic happens. Just watch…

"Uh…Where is it?"

"Eh?"

"It's not here! I can't find it! Where is it?!"

"What are you talking about?! You did bring it with you, right?!"

"I asked if you packed it for me! Remember this morning? When I asked you to keep it! With the rest of the stuff I need?!"

"Uhhhhh…" he looked down and spotted what his partner's referring to, "Where are you exactly…?"

Running through the facility until he finally reached the spot, and what waited for him made him recoil. A lightly-armored yet ferocious monster of monochromatic black and white with another person who seems at his age who is currently, dangled by his shirt on hold by the monster. "Hey! Pick on someone your own size!" The monster's gaze was stolen by him by his outburst.

The beast was surprise and growled. "Another one?! Just how many of you plan to get in my way?!" Tossing the boy aside, the monster had set its sights on its new target.

'Are you crazy?' That is the very first thing you would've thought about this situation, and that monster would rip me like apart effortlessly like paper. Trust me, I don't have much more of the choice in this case. 'Will I go through this alive?' That thought with my only answer will full pride. Of course I will!

Ding-dong!

See? And also, confused?

"Urgh! You just got lucky!" The monster growled, without another word it sprinted to a corner and disappeared. With that thing gone, the red-headed student rushed over to his friend who was just sitting up. "Hey there, buddy…" he grinned sheepishly, "Glad to, uh.., see you're still in one piece."

His friend groaned, "Let me guess, you forgot again." He was slightly annoyed by the reply of a wider grin.

Offering his hand to the friend saying, "Look, the important thing is, you're safe. Now come one. We better get got class."

"Fine," they sighed, grabbing his hand and lifting themselves up to their feet. "But we really need to talk.., eventually."

Crazy, huh..? That's a normal high school life for you… scratch that! Actually that's just high school life around here. Welcome to Hope's Peak Academy. With my name, case you're wondering is Kenichi Matsuda.

I guessing you need some kinda explanation. What the hell just happen? That's a question everyone here's constantly asking.

That thing that just attacked is what we started to call 'Despers'. They started showing up a little after this school year started, one after another. It's a wonder why this school's still open with these guys lurking around. But as it turns out, there's one thing standing between them and this whole school burning to the ground. But we'll get to that later, because right now…

I got class.

DING-DONG, PING-PONG!

Thank goodness that's the last class today! Long-winded I should tell you, but then again, so way any other class. With the day over, I went across of the academy with my buddy was just coming from the building he was in. Also, his name's Jason.., Jason Hutchins. We went to our usual routine of walking around the school grounds and it took a while as usual to get talking.

"You're looking a little tense."

"Why wouldn't I be?" Jason said. "I almost got killed today."

"People almost get killed every day. But that's not really the same thing. You're okay now, right?"

"I don't think that changes anything. But it's a good thing you came when you did."

"Yeah, it's luck alright; my luck."

Jason groaned, "I really don't think that's the case."

"Oh, come on! When are you gonna stop living in denial? After all, it's my luck that got us both where we are now!"

"Which luck? You always talk about it but all I seem to have is bad luck. And no offense, but I didn't remember having it until I met you."

Sarcasm alert!

Suddenly an audible vibration came from both the satchel carried by Kenichi and the book bag on Jason, "Still think this is bad luck? Now we get to finish what we started!"

"We'll talk about that later!" I start to run, "This should come first!"

Jason continued to run across the south section until he was running through a dispersed crowd of screaming students in the faculty. Following through the path they were running from, he finally stopped when he found what he was looking for, something that doesn't belong here.

Two others of its kind, throwing chairs and turning tables as the last remaining people ran to safety, now surround the monster from before. Now it was just him and them.

Seeing Jason, who was catching his breath, snarled, "You're that guy from earlier! You just don't learn, do you?!"

Instead of a verbal reply, Jason instead reached into his bookbag, revealing up a small white device and held it over his waist, where a metallic white strap formed and fastened the device in place.

"Wait! Where'd you get that?!" the monster snapped, again there's no response as Jason instead he pulled out a small card-like device with a silhouette of a sword, and slid it into the device from a slot at the top, in which the monster responded with a terrified gasp, "But that means that you're…you're the…"

Jason slammed the card inside and the front panel of the device opened into halves, as if a book was opened. That revealed a translucent screen containing an image of a pen, as well as the images behind it. The device's LED light inside flashed through revealing the two images crossing each other.

-IT'S TIME FOR KAMEN RIDE!-

A pillar of light shot through Jason's length from the belt and surrounded him, as pieces of armor hovered closely. The two imaged appeared in front of him and lowered towards themselves until they matched the image on his belt.

In one last flash of light there stood a man in grey leather and white metal, with a helmet with a simple glass visor and mouth-guard. The more distinguishable feature were two things: one is the large shield-shaped chest-plate with a checkered black-and-white four-square design, with a similar crossed image of a sword and pen; and attached to his back, a high-tech looking backpack with a shield of the similar crest as was on his chest. Strapped to his left wrist is a small, yet bulky brace with and extension sticking out from the back.

"You're the new Masked Rider!" the monster exclaimed.

Finding privacy in a dark corner, Kenichi pulled out a laptop from his satchel and opened it. Doing that he could watch the fight from an HUD camera, along with a special program. "Now let's get to work."

(Cue Music: 'Ore wa Tokoton Tomaranai!' by Hironobu Kageyama)

"Surprise..!" the armored man cheered, then getting into position readied for battle, "It's time for Kamen Rider!" and with a battle cry he sprinted off towards the trio of monsters.

"What are you waiting for?! Get him!" the leader monster orders, hasting for its two cohorts to charge in to intercept their current target.

The armored warrior broke through the monsters' defense and spun back around to lunge at one of them, hoping to divide and conquer. While Jason swung at one monster the other took the chance to grab him from behind, though difficult due to the bulk on Jason's back but managed to achieve. While held back he has about to get punched by the monster in from of him but was able kick it back; then allowed gravity to pull him down and take his captive with him, before leaving it as he sprung back up on his feet.

Reaching over his shoulders he grabbed two handlebars and pulled them back over, where a set pair of cranes was pulled out holding a set of two weapons: a sword and a gun which he pulled out. After pulling the trigger on the first one, he wildly swing at the recovering second, scoring a few blows on it as well. After quickly distancing himself from the two, he reached over his right thigh and pulled out a card similar to the one he placed into his belt, and placed it on a reader on top of the gun before closing it in.

-LOADED- out of the six buttons on the bottom of the gun's barrel, he pressed the third.

-STOP- after pulling the trigger, the shot fired completely paralyzed one of the monsters stiff.

As the second one charged in, Jason quickly removed the card from the gun and added it to the hilt of his sword. Like its counterpart, it came with six buttons coming up the blade from the hilt, which Jason pressed the third.

-STOP- when the monster got close enough it was jabbed in the torso, which made it freezes up in a similar fashion.

"Get away from me!" his attention was turned to an unfortunate straggler backing away from the first remaining monster. Jason should end this quickly. With both of the monsters frozen, he removed the key from his brace and placed it right under the hilt of his sword from below.

-RETRIBUTION TIME- electricity danced around the blade as it glowed with energy. Jason charged striking both paralyzed foes once each, not even paying attention as they explode behind him as he kept in motion and struck down on the third monster.

(Music paused)

But unlike the previous two, this one was not destroyed, but was stunned giving Jason enough time to collect the distressing victim and backed away before the monster fully recovered.

"You really shouldn't be involved! I'm giving you this one chance to walk away!" the way the monster said it sounded more like a plea than a threat. But Jason still gave no satisfying response, "That's it! That was your last warning!" the monster pulled out a large ax and approached Jason and the bystander ready to strike. But plans seemed to have changed when the toll of a bell sounded in the area;

RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

More importantly, it was the school bell.

"You got lucky this time…" the monster growled as he put away the axe and ran off.

Jason finally relaxed and turned to the bystander, "Are you alright, sir?" he asked under his mask.

The person he's addressing is a man of middle age, with neatly-combed blonde hair and dark-brown eyes. Jason could see from behind his visor that he was still spooked from the earlier assault, although he quickly composed himself, clearing his throat before giving his reply. "Uh, yes... Thank you for saving me there. It looks like I owe you my life." He brought out an open hand for Jason to grip and shake with his own.

"Um, thank you..,"

"Now if you would excuse me, there's someplace I have to be. But I do hope we meet under better circumstances."

"Okay then, you better make sure to stay indoors or something!"

"Your concern is appreciated!" the man called back.

Finally alone, Jason tapped on the side of his mask, "Kenichi, one Desper just got away. I need to know where it's heading."

"Er, that's gonna be a bit hard. I can't find him anywhere."

"Please tell me you're joking. How'd that happen?"

"I don't know his signal suddenly disappeared after that last bell! It's like he vanished!"

"You mean like he dropped off the grid?"

"Kinda what I said! My guess, he might not show his face until next time! Let's just call it a day!"

Jason sighed, "Fine. I'll meet you back at our place." After cutting off, Jason opened his belt and removed his card, resulting in his armor vanishing into particles of light.

-See you next time-

"Another day. Right…" Jason huffed and walked off.

After leaving the school grounds through the western side he reached a large lot lined with many parked trailers. It took a few minutes as usual to walk a long ways through the trailer park in which his was placed in the farthest corner from the entrance, 'Home sweet home, I supposed. He stepped through the door and welcomed himself to the usual sight of his trailer home.

"Glad you're back," Kenichi, who's his roommate greeted, "Hey, about what we talked about earlier…"

"Now like there's much to do besides homework…" Jason sighed. And on such topic he pulled his notes out to join Kenichi in their study on the small dining table.

"Y'know, it's not coincidence that we managed to get here. You oughtta trust that I know, I've been having this 'luck' thing for as long as I can remember."

"Both good and bad, I'm guessing."

"…No use getting by that, I guess. Yeah, it's a little bit of both. Whenever something good happens to me you can bet something bad will always wait around the corner. It's been happening to me for a long time. I mean, look around. This is proof." Kenichi waved off to the interior of the trailer.

"I think I know what you're saying but, mind elaborating?"

"Alright, you know how Hope's Peak's students are separated into two types of students? There're the Ultimate's who get scouted from all across the globe; and there's the Reserved Course, who has to get here the hard way: with a huge wad of cash and a nice score on the entrance exam. They take separate classes on opposite sides of the school, so the two don't mingle as much. What's more is where they bunk. While the Ultimate's get to sleep in dorms in a separate location down south, Reserves got this trailer park…"

"Then why are you here if you're an ultimate? Are you saying bad luck got you thrown in here?"

"If I could I'd ask for better sleeping arrangements, but they said the dorms are full! So yeah, they threw me in the trailer; and the lowest kind at that."

"You sure there aren't worst?"

"The E-Handbooks don't lie. Why else would the other trailers have better lighting than this? And speaking of handbooks, they're kind enough to get you one too, right?"

"Right…" Jason dug into his bag and pulled out the small rectangular device, subconsciously turning it on, "I wonder if they knew it could turn students into superheroes…"

"Hey speaking of, you sure about the whole secret-identity thing? I mean, I've read comics before but still…"

"Yes, I'm sure. And speaking of which, don't you think there's something strange about that last Desper from earlier?"

"You mean that chatty one? If you're talking about how a Desper actually struck up a conversation with you, you're not the only one,"

"It's not that…well yeah, at least as far as I know, Despers don't talk; just make gurgling robot noises and that's it. But I'm really talking about who it was after. I'm sure he was after one of the faculty,"

"He is. I saw his face on the heads-up display. He's the social-studies teacher," Kenichi fiddled with his handbook and showed Jason a picture of the same person. "That's Kris Lumini, the Ultimate Humanitarian."

"I heard of something called the Lumini Institute. Are they the same?"

"Very the same. His family's been helping people since his mom found the thing. When there's disaster they're always there to help. There's no job to big or small as long as it means helping people,"

"The question is, what would a Desper want with a philanthropist? What could Mr. Lumini have that it's want?"

"Who knows? Maybe it's the fact that they're just plain evil and like wrecking stuff. Thanks to us there's no body count so far."

"Let's hope it stays that way…" From there Jason refrained himself from any more conversation and just focused on his work. It was a bit exhausting but talking to his roommate had never been dull; this was the first time he realized this…

Jason used to like Saturdays, but Hope's Peak seemed to ruin it for him as well. Whose idea was it to send kids to school on a Saturday? If they book them throughout the week in general he'd have to seriously consider being a politician or something to do something about this schedule. Thank goodness they're only half-days, but he still missed his Saturday morning cartoons.

Feeling hungry, Jason decided to go down to the southern part of the academy for a bite. There're lots of living necessities including the dorms for the main students. It also included several shops and a food court where he went. Scrapping whatever credits he has on him, he bought something at least close to enough to last him until dinnertime.

'rrrr' 'rrrr' 'rrrr'

Too bad he picked the wrong time to go on a lunch break. Finding his current location too crowded, he ran until he stopped at a corner. Finally sure no one would listen in, he reached for a small device on his book bag strap and pulled his mouth close to it, "Tell me you're working on it."

"Yeah, I just got it. It's at the east side where the classes are!"

"Then that's where I'm heading." Jason cut off the link. 'Let's see if I can figure out what going on…'

As Jason sprinted on over to the eastern section of the academy, he reached for his belt and sling it around his waist. After combining his card with it and transformed, the suits enhancements helped him the rest of the way. When he skid to a halt at the main school building and hastily looked around, he didn't have to look hard when two people caught his likes of sight; The Desper and the… social-studies teacher, Kris Lumini.

"Looks like I was right," Jason muttered. "Now time to get right to it!"

"Stop right there!" he managed to grab attention with his deliberate outburst as the Desper stood long enough for him lunge at it and send them both tumbling to the ground. Jason quickly stood on his feet and backed away to the teacher. "What are you waiting for?! Get outta here!"

"Again, thank you…" Lumini took he order to heart and sprinted for his life.

Unfortunately, that doesn't sit well with the Desper as it recovered, "You…just made…a big MISTAKE!"

"Then enlighten me! Why are you after Kris Lumini?!"

"That's none of your business!" The Desper exclaim. "Which is something you don't seem to understand..!" pulled out his axe, ready to attack the Masked Rider.

"So you're just gonna have to learn the hard way!" It charged and brought its axe down hard on to.

But the Masked Rider stood its ground as the blade was being held back by a black and white shield, which happened to carry the school's new crest consisting of a crossed pen and sword, "Then we're done talking..!"

Jason revealed his firearm and fired a few rounds on the Desper, taking the weight off of him as the monster staggered back. "I know you already heard this before but…"

"It's time for Kamen Rider!" Runs forward keeping his shield in front and fired a few more times as he closed the distance, the Desper blocking as many shots as it could with the blunt side of its axe. With its guard up Jason switched from his shield and blaster to his sword, which he used to jab the Desper in the abdomen, receiving even more sparks from it in the process. Backing away, he switched once again to his blaster and removed the card from his hip to the weapon's chamber.

-LOADED-

Then, of the six buttons placed beside the chamber, Jason pressed the second from the chamber, twice.

-BLAST!- -BLAST!-

Finally, Jason went for the hammer at the back, which he toggled three times. The sound the weapon made afterwards caught him like always.

-DA-DA-DANGANRONPA! EXPLOSION!-

Jason aimed the gun and pulled the trigger, releasing a volley of three lit projectiles homed right at its intended target. Upon impact, three consecutive explosions were set off and knocked the Desper several feet away. Even with all those attacks.., the Desper…

Still enduring strongly..!

'I gotta hand it to him, he's a tough one; but I gotta finish this!' reaching over to his left side Jason pulled an ornament among the ones clipped onto a sash. With a flick of his fingers the pendant opened and revealed a row of teeth. He replaced a similar ornament by slotting the other in his bracelet.

-PAKKU KOUKAN (PACK CHANGE): POWER- As the bulk on Jason's back changed shape into a sleek, metallic-silver jetpack. He then pressed the sole button on the device in which the key is inserted.

-RETRIBUTION TIME- when the rhythm of a bell chimed, energy traveled from his belt to his right hand. He made a mad dash at the Desper with a clenched fist. Recoiled, a powerful punch to the monster's abdomen and after a moment a delayed force knocked it back, the Desper frozen stiff as an image of a shield appeared under its feet, with two more images appearing on either side leaning towards each other until they crossed and formed the school's symbol. Dangerous voltage danced around the monster and it fell to the floor on its face.

"It's one weird thing after another," Jason muttered, finding this situation more strange than usual. "Normally they'd blow to scrap after being hit that hard. I wonder…" he cautiously stepped closer to the Desper…

A sudden impact struck him from out of nowhere, knocking him off-balance. He scrambled back to his feet and looked for wherever that shock came from. But even if he could find it, he wasn't quick enough when a black and white blur came and sped right past him and back again, scraping his armor as it passed by until he was kept down. He only had enough strength for the moment to raise his head to see someone carry the Desper off over its shoulder.

"What was that…?" Jason groaned.

.

.

.

"Despite the results, I would call this mission a success."

"It's a good thing we retrieved out lab rat before this masked nuisance uncovered their identity. We don't want our plans being disturbed, even in the slightest."

"Our subject passed our little test with acceptable results. But now he outlived his usefulness."

"So what are we waiting for? We should kill him right now."

"…No. It's better if we erase his memories. The best way to make sure he won't be traced back to us, is to make it look like he was never involved in the first place, if everyone is okay with that."

"Agree, there's no reason for anyone to get their hands dirty, at least not so soon."

"Right, And with our little trial run successful, I think it's safe to say it's time to start this game."

"And the entire school will be our game board. Whether they know it or not, the students, the faculty, everyone will be our pieces. Even the Kamen Rider himself."

Rider Glossary:

Arsenal-

Gakuen Driver: this belt enables one to transform. By inserting a specially-designed E-Handbook, the belt opens and activates.

Variety Pack: Just as its name suggests, this Pack Change consists of three different weapons, each used in different situations:

(1) Danganreader: A primary firearm. In addition to firing normal energy shots, the user can also 'hack' into a Desper with Truth Bullets by combining it with the E-Chamber, allowing the use of 'words' as actual bullets. By combining two or more Truth Bullets, you can create a much stronger Truth Bullet as long as the two former are compatible. Multiple Truth Bullet's can be fired up to three times by toggling the hammer that many times.

(2) Buredoriter: A primary blade. Like its firearm counterpart, it shares the ability to 'hack' into Despers using Truth Swords by combining it with the E-Sheath.

(3) Rithmitector: A primary shield.

Power Pack: Appears in the form of a sleek, silver jetpack. Besides providing standard flight capabilities, it also gathers energy in the suit into a single point for an short, intense burst. So it's usually used as a last resort in battle as it exhausts the suit's power to a minimum.

E-Chamber/E-Sheath: Similar to a standard E-Handbook given to Hope's Peak's students, this device holds Truth Bullets/Swords, digital 'bullets/swords' with words in them. Effects vary depending on the words use, just as its strength for the length of that word.

Pack Keys: Keys used to perform 'Pack Change', where the Pack on the suits back can be exchanged for another. When not in use they are folded in to function as sort of backpack clip-ons.

(1) Variety Pack Key: Enables use of the Variety Pack.

(2) Power Pack Key: Enables use of the Power Pack.

(3) Com Pack: Allows communication between one and another Com Pack.

Clip Brace: A brace on the suits wrist to function in conjunction with Pack Keys. By pressing the button on the top, one can perform a 'Retribution Time' final attack depending on the equipment used. In conjunction with the Power Pack, one can perform a powered punch, or kick if attached to the leg.

Desper: A humanoid monster with light armor, colored a monochrome black and white for either half of its body. Although mechanical in nature, recent events seem to compromise this information...
