Disclaimer: I do not own Kamen Rider Kabuto, Kamen Rider Franchise, and Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha. I only own the story plot. And this work is purely fictional. Meaning that this fanfic is just a mere fiction to entertain the readers [hopefully]. Nothing bad intended in this work, i swear.
Author's Note: Alright~. Even i wonder myself why i make this crazy Cross-Over. And this work is a side-project when i'm out of ideas for "SKULL: A Tale of Masked Rider". Again, i just hope this fic makes Kamen Rider and Nanoha fans entertained.
And this is my first crossover fic. There might be some misconceptions or some errors regarding the elements of the story. You've been warned.

Chapter 1: A Visitor from Pest Control Company
"Tendou! What will happen if two, hyper-charged Tachyon energies are COLLIDING EACH OTHER?"
"It will…"
*BOOOM!*
"UOOOOOOOHH!"
-White Out-
…
White.
Only a blank, white flash of light appeared on his vision. He could feel his body flying freely. His head feels like being strongly pulled with a strong force. He can't think of anything for this moment. Slow but sure, he can hear sound of breezing wind. There's nothing else he can do but relax and letting it flow…
…Until the blur goes away and he regain his vision. Bright blue with white colors scatter around. He's realized his vision is pulled down and his body is moving faster. After summing up the facts, now he realized something. He is in the middle of the sky, and he is falling down.
"…WHAT? UOOOOOOOHH!"
The man in blue stag beetle-themed armor screamed hysterically, he is totally panicked. And before he could think of anything, he already landed head first, on grassy grounds. The impact of the fall created a loud, crashing sound. The silence of the grassy field has been broken.
15 minutes later…
*Swoooosh!*
A female, with short purple hair, white headband, and emerald eyes is dashing through the grassy field. Behind her, there're two females. One has long ginger hair and blue eyes. The other one beside the ginger-haired girl has darker brown hair with side ponytail and light violet eyes. Both of the other girls are flying.
"The signal of the Tachyon energy is getting weaker, but don't let your guard down everyone!" A woman with dark brown hair and big round glasses speaks from the holographic screen in front of the purple head.
"Roger that!" The three girls are responded in unison. "I'm storming in!" The purple-haired girl shouted as she speeds up faster and faster. "Subaru! Be careful! We don't know what kind of thing that we will face!" The ginger-haired girl exclaimed, trying to catch up with her partner. "Subaru knows what she is doing." The older brown haired woman speaks, calming down the ginger-head.
And then, the three females are arrived to their destination. The purple haired girl stopped first, followed by her brunette partner and the older brunette.
"…What a crater." The ginger-haired girl named Teana said, looking at the 3 meter wide crater in front of her.
"Not as big as Nanoha-san would make. But still, it's a crater." The purple-haired girl named Subaru remarked her partner's statement.
"I take that as compliment, Subaru-chan…" The brunette named Nanoha smiled at Subaru. However, the smile has somewhat threatening aura. Subaru only can grin sheepishly to her superior. "Okay, I'll take a look on the crater." Subaru quickly said as she walks closer to the crater, trying to get a clearer view on the seemingly deep crater.
"Oh! A man! I saw a man!" Subaru suddenly jumps down and approaches the middle of the crater.
"A man?" Both Teana and Nanoha followed Subaru quickly.
And Subaru was right. In the middle of the crater, there's a man lying on the ground. He wears dull green T-shirt, pale blue jeans, and sneakers. There's a silver belt on his waist, and a blue, metallic stag beetle-like object on the ground. Teana takes initiative to check the man's condition, checking his pulse of heart and his breath. "This man is still alive. He's just unconscious." The brunette said.
"What do you think, Nanoha-san?" Teana exchanges her glance to the older brunette.
"Hmm… he looks like normal human." Nanoha glanced at the unconscious man.
Suddenly…
"Nanoha-san! Tea! You should look!" Subaru called out the other two. Both females suddenly come at the purplehead, who is holding the beetle object.
"Subaru, what are you doing?" Teana glared her partner.
"Look at this beetle." Subaru said, showing the object to her partner and supervisor.
"Umm… that's a stag beetle, Subaru-chan." Nanoha corrected.
Teana takes a good look on it. "Hmm, that object is kind of suspicious. Could it be a "Device"?" She commented.
"…Somehow, this object reminds me of Crush Gear." Subaru chuckled as she looked at the golden parts on the side of the object. Teana raised her eyebrow in confusion.
"…Crush…Gear…?" Nanoha's voice shows a sign of confusion. Subaru lets out another chuckle.
"That's a toy when I was a kid."
Cue a sweatdrop on the other girls' head.
The trio continues examining the stag beetle object. They discovered that the mandibles of this object are rotate-able, and they noticed a golden button on the top of the object.
"This button looks suspicious. I wonder if…" Subaru said, attempted to press the button.
"Subaru!" Both girls yelled, which startled Subaru and makes her "accidentally" pressed the button.
*Click!*
"…Uh-oh." Subaru chuckled guiltily, which makes her get menacing glares from both companion.
The lamp on the object's top flashes repeatedly, as the button pressed.
[BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP BEEP BEEP!]
The mandibles snapped out as computerized beeping noises coming out from the blue object. Both females startled and stepped back as they heard the beeps.
"…Oh good. You just awaken the Device, Subaru…" Teana grunted as she looks at the now flying blue object. "Just relax and keep your guard, everyone." Nanoha said as she gripped her staff-like device, Raising Heart. The other two girls also prepared their guard, in case the object does something wrong.
The blue object then swiftly flies to Subaru's head, charging her with its mandibles. "Ow!" She yelped as she caught off guard and attacked by the metallic beetle's mandibles.
After the beetle successfully hurt the purplehead, it flies back and hovers silently. Teana points her gun-like device, Cross Mirage, to the beetle thing.
"If you can speak, you better speak now!" Teana prepares to pull the trigger. The beetle doesn't respond. It just flies speedily to the unconscious man, and charges the unconscious man with its mandibles.
"Ouch!" The man yelled as the beetle drops down to his stomach. The three girls only can look at each other, exchanging their puzzled glance.
"Ow ow ow, it hurts!" The man yelled, rubbing his sore stomach. The beetle object just flies around above the man. Few moments later, he finally gets up, looking around in confusion. "Ugh… where am i…?" The man groaned as he looked at the sky, the grasses, the crater where he sat in, and three females.
…Three females.
"Hey, who are you?" The man asked, his face looks very confused looking at the women with… colorful hairs.
"We are the one who supposed to ask." Teana retorted back to the man.
"What do you mean?" The man raised his eyebrow, only to get pointed with a gun by that girl on his face.
"Hey! What's this all about?" The man growled, looking at the gun pointed to his face with a panicked look.
"Care to explain yourself?" Teana points the gun closer. The other girl patted her shoulder.
"Oi Tea, I think pointing your Device to his face won't bring anything good, let him speak on his own." Subaru tries to calm her down.
"Subaru is right, Teana-chan. You better lower your gun." Nanoha added
Teana lower her gun, as she gives an irritated "Hmph!" to the man.
"Okay, okay, I'll explain." The man sighed at the girls before he starts explaining things.
"My name is Arata, Kagami Arata." The man introduced his name.
"Now tell me the reason you ended up here, Arata." The brunette demanded.
"Hmm… Can't remember the good details for now, I just remember I was falling down from sky and crashed with the ground. After that, a blackout until I awake and being interrogated like this by you girls."
Teana then looked at Subaru, then Nanoha, then the three nodded at each other, and then three of them looked back at Arata. Teana speaks, looking at the man with aggravation.
"Kagami Arata, from now on, you are under the custody of Time and Space Administration Bureau, until we know the truth about you and your device."
"…" The man becomes silenced. He doesn't know what should he say, or how he should respond upon those words. Until he just realized his stupidity if he just follow those girls without knowing anything about them.
"You don't trust us?" The purple haired Subaru asked.
"…Uh… How could I easily believe in strangers like you?"
"We won't do any harm. We just want to know about you and your device. After that, you can go anywhere, as long as you don't cause any crime." Nanoha convinced, trying to make it sounds right.
"Well, since I'm not in a good position…" The man couldn't agree more. He's in a different world, and he needs to know about this unknown world. Arata just hope he made a right choice.
"Zecter, if you are with me, knock my head." Arata looked at the hovering stag beetle. The blue object then tackled the man's forehead, giving a "Yes" to him. The three girls were sweatdropped looking at the man's odd action.
"Okay, I'll follow you girls. I can defend myself if something happens, anyway…" the man lets out a chuckle.
"…Alright, I'll start the transportation." Nanoha said, as a pink magical circle surrounds the ground around the people there.
"H-hey! What is this pink circle? What are you going to do?" The man starts panicking as he looked at the odd circle shining below his feet.
"We'll teleporting to Bureau's Main Office." Nanoha said.
"…Teleport?"
Suddenly a bright flash happened…
TSAB Main Office, Mid-Childa.
Magical Teleportation Arrival Lobby
"UOOOOOOOOOOOOHH!"
Suddenly, a scream of a man broke the silence of the lobby. Everyone at that place looked at the new arrivals on the chamber.
People recognized them as, Captain Takamachi Nanoha, Enforcer Teana Lanster, Corporal Subaru Nakajima, and… a man that screams like a woman.
"UOOOOOOOOOOHH!" Arata keeps screaming with eyes closed, until Subaru poked him on the shoulder.
"Hey, we're arrived." Subaru said, looking awkwardly at the screaming Arata.
"UOOOOOO…ooo…oh? We arrived?" Arata stopped his screaming, opening his eyes. Now he looks at the odd, almost futuristic room, and the people there, who apparently, are having their attention at him."
"…How embarrassing…" Teana facepalmed. Subaru and Nanoha only can chuckle a bit.
"…Uhh okay, what was that? I never saw anything like that before." Arata faced the three girls, now he's looked more serious than before.
"…It's a Teleportation Spell." Nanoha calmly said.
"Teleportation… Spell?" Arata's jaw opened. His expression is a mixture of disbelief, confusion, and… you know what.
"Yes, we use Magic." Nanoha replied.
"Hmm… you live in a world without Magic, Arata?" Subaru starts to ask some question.
"Well, I never see that kind of Magic in my world." Arata replied with a dull tone.
"Anyways, let's get moving. We'll move you to Commander's Room. We can talk while walking." Teana suggested, since explaining things while standing on the chamber doesn't look good.
"Uh, sure…"
The four people then walks off to the Commander's Room, the stag beetle object is following from behind.
Arata, apparently is looking around his surroundings as his escorted walk goes further.
"…Reminds me of ZECT, somehow." Arata said, rubbing his chin.
"ZECT?" Subaru pops out a question.
"It's my workplace." Arata replied the question.
"…Eh? What kind of work?" Subaru questioned again, the other two are listening carefully and looking at the man.
"Fighting Worms." Arata said proudly. The three girls suddenly stopped their steps as Arata said those words.
"…Fighting… "Worms"?"
Silence ensues, until three laughs break it out. The most hysterical laugh comes from Subaru. She even can't stand anymore because of her laughter.
"GWAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! F-fighting WORMS? Oh God! GWAHAHAHAHAH!" Teana barely made a way to verbalize what's on her mind.
Arata doesn't understand why these girls are laughing. They don't know how dangerous those "Worms" are.
"Hey! I was serious about that! Those Worms are very dangerous! I fought hard with them!" Kagami growled irritatingly to the girls.
"Dangerous? OH! OH! AHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Nanoha is leaning on the corridor's wall, knocking it repeatedly as she laughed.
"Y-you fought hard with Worms? AHAHAHAHAHAH!" Subaru is knocking the floor due to the hilariousness.
Arata silenced. He is thinking why those girls are laughing about Worms. Maybe they never met one before? Maybe because this dimension is not same with the dimension he used to know? Or maybe…
…Whatever.
"…You guys were thinking I'm fighting those insect "Worms"?" Arata growled again.
"Y-yes, of course! What else?"Teana said, starting to stop her laughter.
"I'm not fighting that kind of "Worm"! The "Worms" I fought were from outer space! They were coming in meteorites!" now Arata's voice is cracking out.
The three girls stopped laughing, but as they heard "Worms from outer space"…
They laughed harder.
"…Okay! Just, just bring me to Commander's Room!"
TSAB Main Office, Mid-Childa.
Room of Commander Yagami Hayate
"Come in."
The automatic door opened, revealing a brown, shoulder-length haired woman in military uniform sitting down in an office chair. Beside her, there's a blue-haired girl with same military uniform.
And here it comes, the three, giggling girl officers from TSAB, and an unhappy man, with his blue stag beetle.
"Ara? Why you girls look so happy?" The woman on the chair asked.
"Teeheehee, you better start asking the person we found on the crash site." Subaru pointed at the man with grumpy face beside her.
"Aaaa~! He's cute!" the blue-haired girl exclaimed happily as she looks at the man.
"Thank you." Arata said grumpily, making the blue-haired girl jumped back and hides behind the woman's chair.
"Kyaaa~! He's scary." The girl peeks out a little, looking at the mixture of unhappiness and anger on the man's face.
"Can we just start this interrogation?" The man asked.
"Sure. You can sit down there." The woman allowed Arata to sit down on the chair in front of her. He quickly sits down. The blue beetle now hovers silently beside his head.
Situation gets more serious as the interrogation started and the three officers reported the situation.
"…Okay," The woman coughed a bit before she starts interrogating.
"First, I would like to know your name." The woman started the interrogation by asking name.
"My name is Kagami Arata." He calmly replied.
"Okay, Arata-san. There was a huge, Tachyon energy reading coming from Einhelar, the place where you were found." A holographic display appeared in between the woman's and the guy's face, showing a map with some marked area.
"And they found you and that beetle Device." The holographic map disappeared.
"Err, Hayate-chan, that's a stag beetle." Rein commented from behind the Commander's chair.
"I know, Rein."
"Alright Arata-san, I want you to explain what was happened before you arrived here and the officers found you lying down on that crater." The female Commander is demanding an explanation.
"Like I explained to your officers before, I can't remember the clear details for now. I only can remember I was falling down from sky and lost consciousness until your officers found me." That's a short, but reasonable explanation from Arata.
"Hmm, alright…" The woman nodded.
"Say, Arata-san, where do you come from?" She continues asking.
"Earth. I come from Earth." Again, replied calmly.
"Hmm… I'll check the records if you are a registered citizen on Earth. Since it will take a while, I'll just go to next question."
"Now, I want you to answer this carefully." The woman's expression is getting stern, and she stares closer at Arata.
"Are you affiliated with certain organization, Kagami Arata?"
"Yes, I am. I am affiliated with ZECT." And again, Arata replied it calmly.
"ZECT…?" The Commander blinked.
"Yes, ZECT." He nodded.
"…I never heard that organization before. What does ZECT do?" The commander scratched her head.
"Fighting Worms."
"…Worms?" The Commander blinked from a while, before making an awkward face
"Yes, the Worms that comes from outer space."
The females are trying to hold their laughs, including the commander herself.
"Oh… so, you fight Alien Worms? And your blue beetle…" She pointed at the blue stag beetle beside Arata.
"Gatack Zecter. This device helps me fighting those Worms."
Silence ensues.
"…I got conclusion." The woman said, after she thinks for about 10 minutes.
"Conclusion?" Arata raised his eyebrow.
"You are not a dangerous person, Arata-san." The brown-haired woman smiled.
"Of course I am not! I am—"
"A Pest Control employee." Arata's words were interrupted by the woman.
Arata silenced. He didn't believe what he just heard.
"…What? What did you say?"
"Pest control employee." The woman repeated her conclusion. All of the people in the room, including the woman herself, finally, broke their laughs. It's just so funny for them. They found a Pest Control employee that deals with Worms coming from outer space.
…Yes, indeed. It's funny, for the people who don't know the "Worms" inhabiting Arata's world.
"…Pest… control… employee…" Arata's face is deadpanning.
That's it. He had enough with this "Pest Control employee" joke. He never felt disgraced like this in his entire life. To make it worse, this disgrace is made by females that can use Magics. Arata can't hold his rage anymore. He decided to let it out.
*Slam!*
A fist is slammed on the commander's table.
"RAAAAAAAAGH!" Arata growled furiously, breaking the laughter of the females.
"I… I had enough with this! I will just go back on my own! I don't need YOU TIME AND SPACE ADMINISTRATION BULLCRAP!"
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGH!" Arata growled again, and suddenly…
*BEEEEEP! BEEEEEEP!*
An alarm sound comes.
Attention for Enforcer Lanster, Corporal Nakajima, and Enforcer Testarossa. Your presence is needed at the Teleportation Lobby ASAP.
The laughs were stopped. Now everyone's attentions are focused on that announcement.
"…Go ahead, Subaru, Teana. I'll take care of Arata-san." The woman said. Subaru and Teana give salute to her before leaving the room.
"And as for you, Arata-san… you'll be escorted by Nanoha-san to temporary room for guests. I'll make sure you go back to your dimension safely."
"…Whatever. I just want to get out from here." Arata gets up from the chair, quickly runs outside. Nanoha didn't have a chance to stop the guy.
"…Looks like he's angry because we laughed at his work as Pest Controller…" Nanoha starts to realize as she noticed the expression of that Arata guy from the first time she laughed.
"…Yeah, I feel guilty for laughing at him." The commander said, frowned.
"Regret always comes last, Hayate-chan…" Nanoha commented.
"I'll go find Arata-san." Nanoha continued, as she walks out from the commander room.
The commander, who is named Hayate, is now silenced.
"Rein... you want to stay behind my chair forever…?"
Unknown corridor
"…What the heck… They are thinking me as a Pest Controller employee…"
Arata keeps punching on the wall as he murmured about those girls.
"This is lame, just too lame!"
But his anger quickly resolved as he realized he is in a different world. He is not in the world where he usually lives. He needs to stop his anger to know more about this world first. He could make a bad step if he keeps angry.
Finally, Arata stops punching the wall, and takes a deep breath.
"…Like Tendou's Grandmother said, Men must be cool. Boiling water turns into a vapor. Just be cool and let it flow. Right, Zecter?"
The Zecter knocked the guy's head as a "Yes"
"I'm not a kid anymore. A man must be strong!" Suddenly, Arata raised his fist to the air as a sign he regained his confidence. "I'm a MAAAANN!"
"…Such a spirit you have there, Arata-san."
Arata looked at the newcomer, who apparently, is Nanoha.
"Of course!" The man grinned like nothing was happened.
"…I'm sorry for laughing at your job as a Pest Controller."
"You don't have to be sorry. Being a pest controller needs a lot of patience, especially laughs from people."
"Anyways, where's the guest room?"
Meanwhile…
Alsteim District, Mid-Childa.
Subaru and Teana, accompanied by the blonde woman named Fate T. Harlaown, now are at an open field. Only grasses and trees, everything is green… save for the meteorite that just crashed on the field. It's almost as big as a car would be.
"…I feel something is not right at this place…" the blonde woman with burgundy eyes said.
"Somehow, you're right, Fate-san. I can feel something from the meteor too…" Teana looked at the blonde's worried face.
"Let's check the meteorite." Subaru said.
As they made few steps closer to the meteorite, it cracks up. Revealing something that is not good…
"…Monsters!"
Subaru pointed her right, metallic arm to the green humanoids that breaks out from the meteorite…
-To Be Continued-
