(Somewhere Else)
There was a young man with brown hair and black eyes, wearing a long-neck shirt, black jacket, grey pants and black shoes. Also, there is a pink camera hanging around his neck. That young man is none other than Tsukasa Kadoya, and in his grasp was two briefcases with a large 'ZECT' written on it.
After Tsukasa given the mission to the new Decade, he also helps a bit with the preparation to fight off against the Dark Riders. Maybe he can't save this universe, but he can help, at least a bit. He then opened the briefcases, and two mechanical insects came out.
The first insect is resembling a horn beetle with deep red color, and the another one resembling a stag beetle with blue color.
"Go and find a suitable partner for you." Tsukasa said, the two beetles obeyed his order and flew off to god knows where.
"Yare yare, doing this kind of preparation was so troublesome. I leave the rest to you, Kamen Rider Kabuto from this universe… whoever you are, I wish you good luck."
Tsukasa said his part, and then he disappeared, swallowed up by the grey mirror.
At another place, a young man was seen walking in the morning, so early that the sun doesn't even emerge yet. He wears a grey shirt and pants, with a pair of geta sandals. He have a bit long, yet neat, black hair and brigh blue eyes. This young man also carried a tofu with him.
"You thief! Stop right there!" a loud, strict voice shouted.
The young man lifts his head, and saw a thief facing a guarding police, who kept himself in distance because the thief was having a knife in his hand, and he was kind of close to the tofu-carrying young man. The police didn't want an unnecessary victim just because a theft, for god's sake.
The thief took this advantage to escape, with the young man before him, carrying the tofu seemingly without a care in this world.
"Outta my way, brat!" The thief yelled at him and swung his knife.
"Watch out, boy!" The police also yelled, charging at the thief.
The young man completely ignores it, the thief almost got his neck but it misses, as if an impossible miracle happened. The thief stared incredulously, and so is the police.
"Hey. That was close! Why are you just standing there?!" The police yelled to him, and to his chagrin, he was ignored. The young man, or rather the Tofu-carrier boy, begins to walk, doesn't give a rat's ass to the thief and the police.
"OI!"
"Calm down, sir. There is nothing can stab me!" the young man said.
"What?"
"I'm the one who decided on the my own path." The young man answered. "And one more. If I just dodged that knife, it will ruins my precious tofu."
"Is that true? Luck saved you, kid… but that doesn't last forever! If you don't careful, you'll get stabbed." The police said, when the thief decided to take his chances and attacked the young man, as if to prove the police's words.
"Don't mention luck around me. A mere knife like that cannot kill me anyway." The young man said with a non-chalant expression.
He takes a step to the side, which caused the thief to barely passed him, and for some reasons, his wallet (actually it was stolen from his poor victim) dropped from his pocket.
"You forget something." The young man said.
He stepped on the bottom side of the wallet, causes it to fly before his face, and he kicked it. The wallet flies off to the thief's head and hit him, made him dazzled for a moment. A moment which the police capitalize to take his guard-stick and hit the poor thief again, until he lost his consciousness.
After the thief was bound properly, the young man picked the dropped wallet up and threw it at the police, whom still stared at him incredulously.
"Who are you really, kid?" he asked.
"Obaa-chan said this: He who walks the path of heaven, will rule over everything."
After that, he turned his body and points his finger to a tower in a faraway distance, in the same time as the sun seemingly emerged from that tower.
"My name is Yuuya… Yuuya Tendou." He finally said.
(Itsuka Residence)
A young man with neck-leveled blue hair and amber brown eyes, named Shido Itsuka. Now he's wearing his pajama and still asleep on his comfortable bed. Although, it didn't last for too long, because someone was samba-dancing cheerfully while stepped on his stomach, chest, and head. Then Shidou rubbed his sleepy eyes.
"Ah, Kotori. My cute, little imouto." Shidou said, with his voice low in purpose.
"Ohhhhh!?"
That was the moment when she realize that Shidou has awakened. The little sister, with her legs still stepping on his brother's stomach—Kotori Itsuka, turn ed her head and straightened her school uniform.
Her crimson hair which braided in a twintail, tied nicely with white ribbons, happily waved around, when her round eyes, as big as acorns, stared at Shidou.
Strangely, although she was caught stepping on someone in this early morning, she doesn't reply with 'darn it!' or 'oops, you got me!'. Instead, she seems to be frankly happy about Shido waking up. And, unknowingly to her, her white panties was spectacularly seen in Shidou's position.
"What is it? My funny Onii-chan!" Kotori answered, without any intention to remove her legs.
"Eh, get off me now. You're heavy, you know."
Kotori nodded deeply and promptly jumped off the bed. Shidou' s stomach feels like it get hit by an enormous impact.
"Gfhu!" Shidou bursted a breath.
"Ahahaha, gouf! Itu was a land-type Mobile Suit, is it? Ahahahaha!"
"..."
Shidou just fall silent, pulling the blanket over his head.
"Ahh! Hey~! Why are you going to sleep again?!" Kotori amplified her voice, slowly trying to drag Shido's body off his bed.
"Ten minutes, please…"
"Nooooope! Get up get up get up!"
After sitting down on his bed and cringed at his headache when he shake his head, Shidou opens his mouth and began to groan softly.
"R- run away… now…"
"Eh?"
"…Actually, I have been infected by 'If-I-don't-sleep-for-ten-minutes-I-will-tickle-my-imouto-mercilessly-Virus'. But you can call it T-Virus…"
"W—wha?!"
Kotori seems as surprised as someone who's got a secret message from an alien.
"Run… while I can still control myself…"
"B—but, what about you, Onii-chan?!"
"Don't worry about me… as long as you are safe…"
"That's impossible! Onii-chan!"
"Gaaaahh!"
"Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!"
Shidou brushed his blanket off, then wildly moves his hands and letting out a growl, making Kotori flee in terror, her scream was heard along the way.
After Kotori flees from Shidou's room, she doesn't realize she passed another girl because she's so afraid of her 'Tickling Onii-chan'. That girl was identical with Shidou in hair color, eye color and her face, only her longer hair and her feminine stature became a subtle difference of them. That girl was Shiori Itsuka, Shido's twin sister.
Shiori, sees that Kotori running in fear, took a moment to glance into Shido's room and thought that was her brother's doing. How right she is. Then she comes into his room.
"Morning, Nii-san." She greeted politely.
"Oh, morning, Shiori." Shido waved his hands in reply.
"Nii-san, are you scaring Kotori off again?" Shiori then asked.
"Yeah, because she's waking me up this early." Shido answered.
"She's doing it because today is our first day in school and Nii-san is the ONE tasked to make our breakfast, you know." Shiori glared.
"Hey, isn't it Aniki's job today, not me?!" Shido asked incredulously.
"Yuuya-nii-sama isn't in his room. Jeez, even though I gone with all the troubles to come in and wake him up…" Shiori trails off, with a disappointed tone in her last word.
Yuuya Tendou is the adopted son from the Itsuka Family and the oldest from them all, although the difference is only one year apart from Shidou and Shiori. He doesn't want to change his surname because of some reason, and all the Itsuka respects his wish and paid it no mind.
Then suddenly Shidou recalls something about their parents leaving in a business trip just the day before. That's why Yuuya was temporarily responsible for their kitchen: shortly, he has became the Family's Cook until their parents return from their trip. And if any case he can't do his duty, Shidou had to replace him. He have such a difficulty to wake up in the morning, so Yuuya asked Kotori to help him, just like before.
"Well, I remember Aniki said he can't make breakfast today, isn't it?" Shidou muttered. "I should have remembered…"
"Nii-san, you better apologize to Kotori." Shiori put her hands on her slender waist, her eyes staring at his brother sternly. "Appreciate her efforts, okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'll do it…"
Shidou give her a guilty look, as if he had done something worth called Evil. In haste, he rises from his bed, and try to tidy up his blue hair. Holding back his immense sleepiness, Shidou walked out from his room, followed by Shiori closely from behind.
"... huh?"
A morning scenery that a bit different from usual greets them.
The wooden table in the middle of the guest room now tilted to the side, as if to make a barricade. Behind it, a head with red twin-tailed hair shook itself in terror.
"..."
Stepping slowly, Shidou approached the tilted table. Shiori, who was watching him, only sighed because of his brother's antics. Certainly, Kotori took a cover behind the table, hugging her knees and trembling in absolute fear.
"Graaaaahh!"
"Kyaa! Kyaaaaaaa!"
When Shidou touches her shoulder, Kotori let out a desperate scream in the same moment of her hands and legs becomes numb.
"Calm down, calm down! This is my normal self now."
"Gyaaaa! Gyaa... ah? O-onii-chan?"
"Yup, yup. This is me, Kotori."
"Are you… not scary anymore?"
"Its alright now. I am Kotori's friend."
"Oh, ohhhhhh."
After Shidou talk with a funny tone, Kotori's tense face slowly became relaxed. Just like a wild squirrel beginning to open its heart to a human stranger. Then changed to a surprised one when Shiori hit Shidou's head with a karate chop.
"Oww!" Shidou shrieked.
"Nii-san, aren't you going to apologize to Kotori?" Shiori scolded.
"Onee-chan, Onii-chan was so scary…" Kotori mouthed.
"Sorry, sorry. I'll make the breakfast now."
After letting go of Kotori's hands and stand up, Shidou put the table back to its supposed position and went to the kitchen.
Because their parents was working in a huge electronic company that they built together, they were often going away so far from home.
When that time comes, Yuuya, Shidou and Shiori always be the ones responsible to prepare the food, so they have been used to handling things on their own. In fact, they were sure they can use the cooking utensils better than their mother, especially Yuuya.
Yuuya, although he had been adopted by the Itsuka Family, he always went to visit his grandmother, Hikari Tendou. In his childhood, he also helping her a lot with the food, resulting in his food quality to become 'Top-class', exceeding even the five-star restaurant. Now, his grandmother's whereabouts are unknown, and Yuuya now have this peculiar habit to quote his grandmother. So often.
When Shidou was taking a few eggs from the fridge, he heard the sounds from the television behind him. It seems Kotori had fully calmed down and turned on the television. Few moments later, the three siblings heard their house's door opened.
"Tadaima." Yuuya, who straight up went to the kitchen, greet his family.
"Okaerinasai." Shidou, Shiori dan Kotori replied in almost the same time.
Then Kotori and Shiori approached their eldest brother.
"Aniki, where have you been?" asked Kotori.
"That right, Yuuya-nii-sama. Where did you go this morning?" Shiori also asked. "I checked your room earlier, but you're not there…"
"Forgive me sisters, I just bought this tofu for dinner." Yuuya showed them his tofu. "Shidou, I shall be assisting you with the cooking, although for now I can only make soup, regretfully, because my time is so limited." And he hands over the said tofu to Shidou.
"That's a big help. Thank you, Aniki."
"Don't mention it, little brother."
Then Yuuya opened the fridge to take the ingredients for his soup with Shiori helping him, while Kotori off to watch the television again. It has became a daily habit for Kotori to eat her food while watching the Horoscope Corner or something like that.
Well, most of these kinds of show usually shows up in the end of main show, and of course it was just a mere speculation. After checking all the channels, Kotori start watching something that's looked like a boring news.
「—this morning, in the corner of Tenguu City—」
"Nn?"
The three older siblings of Itsuka Family accidentally overheard the news, which was usually pointless to listen anyway, because of the stupid BGM that accompanied it. Shidou furrowed his brows. The reason was simple. From the clear voice of the talker, he heard a familiar name of a street he knows about.
"Nnn? That place was close. What happened?"
Leaning his body from behind the counter, Shidou narrowed his eyes and stared at the television. In the screen was a screenshot of a totally devastated streets, the building and the highway have reduced to the point of nearly-unrecognizable ruins.
The destruction which rivaled that of a meteorite impact, or even an full-force airstrike.
"Ahhhh... It's the Spacequake, isn't it?." Shidou sighed.
As if too bored to hear it, he shook his head. The [Spacequake] refers to a phenomenon when a wide area having a tremendous shaking, with no clear reason, at uncertain location and juncture. The another form of this weird phenomenon are mountain eruptions, earth corrosion, unexplainable disappearances.
Just like a giant monster, destroying everything for the sake of destroying, these are never a clear cause for that, so illogical and makes no sense. The first event was occurred thirty years ago, it was happened in the middle of Eurasia. The continent which comprised in many nations like The Uni Soviet, China, and Mongolia, was erased in one night.
For Yuuya and Shidou's generation, just by seeing the pictures in their textbook was enough to gave them goosebumps. As if everything in the surface peeled out, without leaving any remnants of it.
The casualties was estimated in 150 millions of total. It was a greatest and deadliest disaster in human history. In the next six months, the similar incidents was occurred in the entire world, although in a smaller scale, fortunately.
They can't remember the exact times of it happened, but it was about fifty times. In the continent, the north and south pole, seas, even in the small islands, this case was confirmed by witnesses and the scientists.
Of course, Japan was not an exception.
Six months after the Eurasia Sky Disaster, the area from South Tokyo to the Kanagawa Prefecture have reduced to a massive circle of wasteland, as if erased by an… well, eraser.
That's right—The Itsuka residence was in that area.
"But it's stopped for a while, isn't it? Why it is happened again?"
"Well, I wanna know about that too…"
At Shiori's question, Kotori, still focused on the television, tilts her head. After the disaster at South Tokyo before, The spacequake was undetected for a certain amount of time.
However, five years ago, starting from the corners of newly-constructed Tenguu City, this mysterious phenomenon begin to happen again, in many places. Not only that, even a giant meteor fell to earth seven years ago and completely destroyed the area of Shibuya, but the information of that occurrence doesn't completely given, or secretly contained by an unknown party.
Plus, the most of it was happened in Japan.
Of course, the mankind didn't just sit without doing anything in that interval of twenty-five years.
Started from thirty years ago from the reconstructed area, the underground shelters have built with an overly drastic pace.
In the same time of the development of ability to observe the signs of the spacequake, a disaster-countermeasure team from The Defense Force, full-licensed, have been formed.
Their job was to visit the disaster areas and rebuild the destroyed facilities and streets, but their work can only described as 'Magic'.
Nevertheless, the obliterated streets was fully restored, as good as new, in a truly short timespan.
Their job was classified as Top Secret so that's no information leaked to the public, but when you see a totally ruined building was returned to its former glory in just ONE night, like it or not, you'd felt like you just watched a really absurd magic trick.
However, even if the restoration can be done quickly, it doesn't mean the danger from the spacequake was one to be underestimated.
"Isnt it seem like the areas around here caught too many spacequake? Especially, the year before…" Yuuya mumbled. "Strange, indeed."
"…hmm, its seem like that, huh. Maybe a bit too fast…" Kotori mumbled, leaning her small body to the sofa.
"Too fast? What are you saying, too fast?" Yuuya tilted his head.
"Nnn…, no, nohhing."
This time Shidou was the one to tilt his head.
Not because what she says, but because the half of her words was a bit unclear.
"..."
Stealthily, he circled the counter, and walks to the side of the sofa where Kotori leaned at.
Maybe she realized it, because when Shidou draws close, she slowly turns her face.
"Kotori, look over here for a second." Shidou inquired.
"..."
Her little sister doesn't grace him with a reply.
"Tei!"
"Guhh!"
Kotori holds her head with her hands, and turned in shock. A weird sound can be heard from her mouth…
And when he saw what's inside her mouth, he instantly thought 'I knew it'.
"Just as I expected." Shidou sighed.
Even that time was right before the breakfast time, Kotori has already enjoyed her favorite candy, Chupa Chups, in her mouth.
"What I said about not opening any candy before your breakfast, Kotori?"
"NNNnnn! NNNnnnnn!"
Shidou tried to take the candy, pulling the stick off her sister, and he saw Kotori's attempt to retaliate, her face contorted into one of its sourest expression.
He tensed when he tried to aim places to hit her, because he actually doesn't want to hit a cute face, especially that face. Then he called for help from the strongest person in their family.
"Aniki, Kotori ate a candy before her breakfast. What should I do?" he consulted his brother.
"As long as she eat her breakfast later, it's all fine. Let her be." Yuuya answered sagely.
In the end, Shidou have to relent. He stroke Kotori'head softly, then returned to the kitchen.
"Ohh! I love Aniki and Onii-chan, sooo much!"
Shidou replied with a handwave, Yuuya with a soft chuckle, before they both focused back to their daily duty. Nothing special happened again until their breakfast was ready.
Then the four of them were gathered in the dining table and starts their breakfast. In the dining table, there were fried eggs, bacon, roasted bread and soup served for them.
"Itadakimasu." They all said.
Yuuya watched when Shiori, Shidou, and Kotori downed his homemade soup and their enjoying expression was so priceless in his eyes.
"Its delicious~! Yuuya-nii-sama, you changed the soup's recipe, aren't you?" Shiori then asked, making her eldest brother shook in surprise, although happily.
"You can tell the taste? Of course, it is! Replacing the broth is one of the important thing." Yuuya said. "It was very observant of you, Shiori."
"Thank you, Yuuya-nii-sama." Shiori replied, her cheeks turned red.
They resumed their breakfast, with the topic of conversation changing.
"Think again, today is the opening ceremony of your… Junior High School, is it, Kotori?" Shidou asked.
"Yes, it is~!" Kotori answered.
"That means, you'll go home at lunchtime…" Shiori turned to her sister. "Kotori, what do you want for lunch then?" she asked with a smile.
"Hmmm…"
Kotori gave it a thought for a moment, then shook her head and stood up.
"Deluxe Kids Plate!"
That is the name of the popular lunch menu for children, which always offered in the nearest family restaurant. Have heard Kotori's answer, Shidou straightened up, then inclined his head in regret.
"Unfortunately, that shop doesn't provide that menu…"
"Ehh~"
While sucking on her lollipop, Kotori replied dejectedly.
Shidou sighed, then shrugged.
"Well, this kind of opportunity only comes sometime, so why not." Yuuya voiced his thoughts. "Let's take our lunch outside, I can also learn the recipe that way." He coolly said.
"OHHHH! Really!?" Kotori perked up.
"Well, then. Let's meet at the usual family restaurant after the school." Shidou added.
With her two older brother agreed on a same proposal, Kotori rubbed her hands vigorously.
"Don't take back your words! Promise me! You all must be there, even though an earthquake or a wildfire or a spacequake happened, or even though the restaurant was occupied by terrorists!"
"E…eeeh… no, if the terrorists are there, we can't eat anything anyway…" Shiori sweatdropped.
"You all must be there, okay?!"
"Yeah, yeah, we know." Shidou smiled awkwardly.
Has heard Shidou said this, Kotori lifted up her small hands in high spirits, shouting a loud, yet so cute:
"Whoooo~!"
Shidou doesn't even think whether they were too royal on spending the family money or not. Well, its alright if its only today, he guess.
From tonight onward, they have to eat house food for awhile, but today is a celebration on a special day. It must be fine. A little splurge on their money shouldn't be a problem. Well, children lunch menu for just a 'mere' 780 yen (that was Yuuya saying) can't even be considered a splurge.
"Nnnnn..."
Shidou stretched his body a bit, and opened the small window in the kitchen.
The blue sky is clear. It seems today will be a happy day.
(Raizen High School)
About 8.15 in the morning, Yuuya, Shidou and Shiori had arrived in their Senior High School building.
After checking the list of classes that attached in the corridor walls, they entered the classroom where they will spend the rest of the year.
"Class 2-4, huh?" Shidou mumbled.
"We are in the same class, Nii-san." Shiori replied.
"Well, I got class 3-2. Then, I shall see you two later, Shidou, Shiori." Said Yuuya, who walked away from them.
"See ya later Aniki."
"See you later, Yuuya-nii-sama."
After that, they entered their own class.
Now Yuuya has entered his class and sat on his seat, then someone approached him. He was a young man with short brown hair and black eyes, he was Yuuya's friend, Oga Kagami.
"Yo, Tendou. We're in the same class again." Oga said.
"It seems so." Yuuya replied curtly.
Oga Kagami was his friend, and he always self-proclaimed that he is Yuuya's rival. Although in fact he was his best friend since they were in Junior High School, and strangely, they always in the same class since then.
"But I never expected that we will be in the same class, ever since Junior High School… and even now! Maybe this is a destiny that connected us together, like a red string."
"Please don't phrase it like that. That is so disgusting." Yuuya said flatly.
"What are you saying, Tendou?! We're rivals, and this is the perfect opportunity for us to compete! Even more than before!"
"Yeah, you wish."
And then a girl entered their class, the girl was fair-skinned with a pair of pink eyes and long, flowing white hair worn with a black frilled headband that has a bow on each side of the head, where big pink gems sit.
That girl was Tiara Suzuki.
"Good morning, Yuuya-san, Kagami-san." She greeted them sweetly.
"Good morning, Suzuki-san." Yuuya and Oga replied, although louder on Oga's part.
And then Oga realizes something a bit too late.
"Suzuki-san, why are you calling me with my family name and Tendou with his first name?" He asked.
"Ehh~… why are you asking that?" Tiara answered with another question.
"Well, I just wanna know why you treated him differently…"
"It's-a-sec-ret~" Tiara smiled.
Silence. Oga was taken aback, while Yuuya has a peculiar blank expression on his face, and slowly took his hands up to cover his ears when the class erupted.
"GOD DAMN YOU, TENDOU!"
Not only Oga, but every single male student yells his name is jealousy and frustration. Yuuya only let a long sigh, today will be a long day in his new class. Fortunately for him, the Social Teacher comes a moment later and began the first lesson.
After the lesson was finally over, Oga approached his 'eternal rival' once again, to ask him to eat together, undoubtedly with some contest while they are at it.
"Oi, Tendou, you got nothing to do, aren't you? How if we get some food and do some eating contest? I'll be sure to beat you this time!"
"Well, sorry Kagami, but I got a promise with someone today." Yuuya replied.
"W—what?! Is it a girl?"
"Yes, in fact. But…"
"No, that's impossible!"
That last one was from Tiara, surprising the entire class with its loudness.
"What happened to you, dude? Have you done something in the Spring Holiday? What happened with our promise to keep ourselves single, my friend?!" Oga shook his head violently.
"Oh, how cruel of you, Yuuya-san, even though you already have me!" Tiara said dramatically with a fake cry, but because she was a natural drama queen, she looked like she's really crying, which can end really bad for Yuuya if he doesn't do something quickly.
"Kagami, I never recall I ever made such promise. And Suzuki-san, stop saying things like that. People will misunderstand. It's only Kotori, Shiori and Shidou." Yuuya replied coolly.
After hearing Yuuya's answer, Oga and Tiara draws a collective sigh of relief.
"Oh, I knew it."
"Jeez, don't make me worried for nothing!"
"Well, you got yourselves jumping to conclusion too quickly." Yuuya just shrugged.
"If only the three of them, it's no problem. Can I tag along with you guys?" Oga asked.
"Me too, maybe this is the perfect opportunity to introduce myself to the candidate of… brother-and-sister-in-law." Tiara said, although so softly on the last part.
"Eh? What's that last bit?" Yuuya doesn't catch on that.
"No, you hear nothing, Yuuya-san." Tiara said, with a faint blush in her cheeks.
"Well, anyway… I think that's alright. The merrier, the better." Yuuya said, giving no more concern for Tiara's words. "I'm sure they wouldn't mind that."
"In that case—"
Oga wants to ask something, but is cut off by an ominous voice of siren, which resounded in the streets, and the windows in the classroom were trembling violently.
"Wha—what's happened?!"
Oga opens the window and looked out. A good amount of crows were set off to the sky, startled by the voice of the siren.
The students remained in the classroom all stopped their conversation and stare with wide eyes.
Following that siren, a mechanical voice with an interval after each word, maybe to make it easier to understand, echoed.
"This is, not a training. This is, not a training. The preliminary quake, has been detected. The spacequake threat, has been verified. The civilian, please move along, to the nearest shelter, as soon as possible. I repeat—"
Without any second thought, all the students run off. When Yuuya and Oga make their way to the shelter, they saw Tiara going into the opposite direction.
"Suzuki-san, where are you going? The shelter is right over here!" Oga shouted.
"Don't worry about me! You two get into the shelter!" Tiara shouted back.
Yuuya wants to protest, but Oga shook his head, gesturing him to stop. Yuuya relented and the two of them sprinted to the shelter. They saw Shiori there, along with Shidou's friend… whose name was Tonomachi, if Yuuya recalls correctly.
"Yuuya-nii-sama! Are you alright? Are you injured?" Shiori was so unnaturally worried.
"I'm fine. What about you, Shiori?" Yuuya asked.
"I'm perfectly fine, Yuuya-nii-sama."
"Thank goodness. Now where's Shidou?" Yuuya asked, not seeing his younger brother anywhere.
"He runs off to our promised place for lunch and he asked me to stay here." Shiori answered. "I tried to stop him, but he won't listen!"
"He must be looking for Kotori then."
"It seems so, Yuuya-nii-sama."
"Jeez, that Shidou. Kagami and Hiroto, please look over Shiori, I'll go after Shidou." Before any of his friend can reply, he also runs off from the shelter. Shiori and Oga wants to go after him too, but that time, the shelter door was closed, with their voice calling out his name.
"Yuuya-nii-sama!"
"Tendou!"
"Tendou-senpai!"
Yuuya keeps running with hopes that Shidou and Kotori was safe, but in the middle of his path, he saw a bizarre silhouette. Behind that silhouette, there is so many dead bodies. The strange creature was looked like a giant, green larva of an insect.
"What—what on earth was that?!"
The creature attacked Yuuya and the young man was managed to narrowly dodged that. Then he looked around and saw an iron pipe, conveniently placed there. Yuuya took the pipe and swung it with all his might, only for the pipe to instantly broke. The creature then hit Yuuya, so hard he flew away a good distance.
"Darn it…"
The creature approach Yuuya slowly and prepares to kill the young man. Yuuya thought that this is the end of his life and cursed himself on failing to protect his family… only for a red, mechanical horned beetle appeared out from nowhere and attacked the creature, caused it to back away.
Yuuya saw that horned beetle slowly drew closer to him.
"Are you alright?" the horned beetle asked.
"It seems that I was hallucinating something about a talking, mechanical horned beetle."
"OI, that's rude!"
"Anyway, thank you for saving my life."
"No problem, I just happen to see you attacked by that creature, you can call it Worm. By the way, my name is Kabuto Zecter, can I ask for your name?"
"It's Yuuya. Yuuya… Tendou."
"Yuuya…Tendou?!"
Kabuto Zecter was surprised to hear Yuuya's surname. It was the same surname as its owner in another universe. Maybe this is what they called destiny and also, it sense the same kind of compability just like its previous owner.
"Alright, it settled. Yuuya, you will become my partner from now on."
"Huh?"
Then Kabuto Zecter flew off for a moment and when its back, it brought a silver belt with it. He dropped it to Yuuya's hands.
"Wear the belt around your waist."
Yuuya followed Kabuto Zecter's instruction and wear the belt around his midsection.
"Then what next?"
"Next, put myself into that slot." The red horned beetle said. "Then say, 'Henshin'!"
Kabuto Zecter flew around Yuuya in circles and Yuuya caught it in his hand.
"Let's do it, Kabuto Zecter. Henshin!" Yuuya then insert the Kabuto Zecter to the slot in the belt.
HENSHIN
Then Yuuya was swallowed by a hexagon until he became an armored warrior. Yuuya now had bulky silver armor with bits of red over lapped a black bodysuit. He wore black boots with silver metal plating on them going towards his ankles. The outer side of his lower legs had silver metal plates on them and his ankles had three to four silver. He also had silver knee pads above his knees. On the sides of his thighs were metal plates. His shoulders were covered in bulky metal armor that had rounded ends. The underside of the shoulder armor was red while the rest of it was silver. The front and back of both shoulder armors had a silver metal orb that acted like a joint. On his left shoulder that front orb had a strange symbol that looked like a beetle and had the word ZECT written within it.
His arms were covered in silver segmented armor and his forearms were bound with silver jointed gauntlets. He wore a silver chest plate that had a red upper piece that wrapped around his neck. He had a silver antenna on the front of his head and a small forward facing horn on top of his helmet. He had a single blue eye plate set under the silver armor of his helmet, the edges around the eye plate trimmed in red. He also seemed to have a silver mouth plate. This is Kamen Rider Kabuto Masked Form.
The creature whose name was Worm then transformed to a form of blue insect with red lines, and charged at Kabuto. Kabuto managed to dodge its attack and then he countered with a mighty punch and threw the creature to an unused warehouse.
"Yuuya, use your weapon."
Yuuya pulled out his weapon with a move that as natural as breathing, it was the Kabuto Kunai Gun. He use it in its Gun mode and shoot the Worm until it falls and rolled miserably on the ground. Kabuto use the infrared signal on his weapon to aim at the Worm and kept shooting.
Then suddenly, the Worm took a stance and its movement became so fast Kabuto can't even see it. He can't counter what he can't see. The Worm keep attacking him until its Kabuto's turn to fall to the ground.
"What was that?"
"It's a Clock Up!"
The Worm charged again at Kabuto, making him trapped between the ruins. The Worm prepared to use its Clock Up again, and then Kabuto saw a mirror.
"It is as Obaa-chan said, if I want it, The Destiny is always on my side."
Kabuto shot the cement-filled bag and the content from that bag poured out and causing a smokescreen. Then Kabuto shoots the mirror until it shatters, which fragments, when Kabuto shoot again, reflecting the bullet in every direction and caught the Worm in its Clock Up.
Kabuto rose from the ground and transformed his Kunai Gun to its Axe Mode. He jumped and swung down at his dazzled enemy, instantly reduced the Worm to exploding pieces.
"Good job, Yuuya!"
"Thank you, Kabuto Zecter. Now, I better go see Shidou and Kotori, who knows what happened to them." Yuuya in his Kabuto form said, hurried himself to find his younger siblings.
Unknowingly, a mysterious figure observes him carefully, his eyes never left the young man's movement.
"So that was this universe's Kamen Rider Kabuto…" the figure chuckled devilishly. "Heheh, must be interesting. I'll keep my eye on him for awhile."
So that's the end of chapter one!
