Author's note: Hey there, everyone! Rallen Rolando (or funnerisaralphword on Tumblr or quitetheoresama on Twitter) here, writing the latest Kamen Rider Gaim crossover fanfic! Please note that though I take ownership of this fanfic, various lines throughout the story are written by Æsir-subs and translated from the original Kamen Rider Gaim script, written by Gen Urobuchi. The show itself is produced by Toei Company, TV Asahi and Bandai.
Honestly, the show would've been of a different kind of awesome if it were more like the Gundam Fight, with rules and large hamminess and everything. However, please note that though this is a crossover fic, there are no characters from G Gundam (created by Yasuhiro Imagawa, Kazuhiko Shimamoto, Hajime Yatate and Yoshiyuki Tomino, produced by Bandai, Sunrise and Sotsu Agency) and only plotlines from each are carried over.
BTW, props to Lew (otherwise known as pundercracker on Tumblr or strongest_human on Twitter) for being my creative producer. Happy reading! :D

Prologue - To Pluck the Fruit of Heaven
《序章 - 天を獲る》
"Pluck the fruit of heaven.
That the world be dyed in your image.
Is that the glory you seek?
Is that burden one you can bear?
Know this. The lives of men are not ours to control, not even our own.
We cannot defy the inexorable current of fate that carries us.
But what if fate itself were to call you…
To change the world?
To turn the course of the future?
You cannot defy your fate.
But…
The fate of the world is in your hands!"
—Preface of Ten wo Torumono, written in 1569 by Ashina no Murasaki
Translated in English by Cafillo Gustavez y Alcalde in the 1914 book Forbidden Fruit
