It begins all quiet then the song starts with a guitar intro, the opening starts with a whoosh. The sound is Kivala flying through the skies, she spins in the air then the camera shoots over to show the sky. The Sun flares, starting the song! The opening shows a bird's eye view of Odaiba as green, purple, orange and blue words float towards the center of the screen. The words merge together and form the title, "Kamen Rider Ryuki" Kivala flies over the title, the letters shimmer then break apart!
Taichi is seen running with Kivala flying beside him, he transforms into Kamen Rider Ryuki, then Ken Ichijouji is seen running after them with a cold stare on his face, he transforms into Wing Knight and jumps into the air, then Chris Ramirez is seen running as well, transforming into Kamen Rider Raia, to Raia's right, Masaru Damon is seen running alongside him, transforming into Kamen Rider Torque. Natsumi and Jasmine are seen running towards a hill suddenly, the ground erupts, a tiger Mirror Monster emerges and attempts to attack them! The four Riders seen running earlier are running towards the girls as Jasmine transforms into Kamen Rider Femme.
Running in a crowd
In a faceless town
I need to feel the touch of a friend.
In the countryside
I wander far and wide
The isolation gets me again
As Kivala flies off, Ryuki fires a Drag Claw Fire Blast shot at Mirror Monsters, then Win Knight, Raia and Torque run through the Mirror Monsters and run after them. Femme and Natsumi are seen running from the tiger Mirror Monster which explodes from Ryuki's second Fire Blast. Ryuki has a determined look on his face. Femme leaps up, then slices down another Mirror Monster with her naginata. The Mirror Monster falls as the gang stops, then a huge eruption of deadly lava blasts behind them, Ryuki carried Femme bridal style as they all jump away from the blast in different directions!
I don't know where to go
When I feel like crying
Oh my!
It's time to open myself
Do something new
I want to stop and grow up a bit
Wing Knight is first seen donning on his cape then drawing his rapier Visor, hacking at the air. Chris Ramirez is seen looking at the ocean waves, then he transforms into Raia again, a gold halo erupts beneath him as he cracks his Whip. Master Eubulon is seen backflipping away from something, He grimaces then charges his sword up with energy. A rock bursts into shards. Torque fires his blaster and slashes the air, followed by Kamen Riders Raia and Wing Knight. Femme readies her Final Vent and Ryuki readies his Strike Vent. The two fire a huge blast of fire and wind at the Mirror Monsters!
Then suddenly, my power and confidence start swelling up
Magically erupt
And it's all because of the kindness that I feel
From people I don't even know
A group of Mirror Monsters are seen grinning evilly, Natsumi, Yolei, Jasmine and Maya have worried looks on their faces. A beat-up Taichi cringes, then gets up as he transforms into Ryuki and is joined by Femme, Wing Knight, Torque and Raia. The camera zooms towards their faces, then a tornado rushes them and the five Ridersjump into the air. Lastly out of the sky, Wing Knight, Raia, Torque, Femme and Ryuki fall towards the viewers. We see silhouettes of Kivala, Chris, Ken, Natsumi, Jasmine, Maya, Marcus and Master Eubulon. Taichi lands in the center of the group with Kivala, Chris, Ken and Natsumi to Kellyn's right and Jasmine, Maya, Marcus and Master Eubulon to Taichi's left, and poses by pointing right at the viewers, a shadow of his Ryuki Survive Form wielding the Drag Visor-Zwei at the viewers in the same pose appears Taichi, ending the song.
Then suddenly, my intuition and my wisdom grow
And then I know
That most of all I sense compassion's real
Thanks to strangers where ever I go
Thank you for waking me up!
Reflection 1: Rider War Part 1
You may not know this but a Rider War had started not with swords or guns or other weapons. It had started earlier, way earlier. It started in a city called Odaiba. In fact, it is happening as you read these words. It happens as you read these with your eyes and lips. This is how an alien from Karrsh made his declaration of war on our planet. A single act of random tragedy may not seem like much, but to those who know what was the true cause of its happening may know it matters a lot. So, let us begin our tale of war with a car accident in the city of Odaiba, home of the heroic Digidestined...
It all began when a car was coming. The bushy-haired brown-eyed former Gogglehead didn't see it coming... nor did the redheaded young woman see the drunk driver coming.
"SORA, WATCH OUT!" the boy tried to run onto the crosswalk to get to her.. but his legs felt slow. It was as if time was slowing down, the blonde-haired blue-edy male with him couldn't help but run forward too.. but by the time they began to run to her, she turned. One second too slow.
The girl saw it too late and froze like a deer literally caught in the headlights. Horns honked, cars jerked out of the way of the drunkd river heading for the tennis playing Digidestined. CRASH! Taichi Yagami and Yamato Ishida were stunned. Stunned by the fact that they were too late. Too late to save her... Too slow to get to her.
The boy fell to his knees as Yamato laid his head in his hands."Why... Why..." Police and medics made their wa into the scene just after the driver had run off hearing the police's sirens. Little did they know in a mirror, two glowing red eyes in the darkness had a satisified look on them.
The eyes moved as their owner's menacing voice cackled in delight. And so begins the war... the war that will involve a hero and a destroyer. Today, on this day, the Rider War... BEGINS!
3 months later...
The same brown-haired brown-eyed boy of 19 years old was sitting on his bed, looking at pictures of him and Sora. It had been an entire spring since she had died and he still couldn't get over it; he had had nightmares about it, he was still trying to save her in his hellish dreams. He felt so hurt... yet he hadn't had the courage to ask her out. Some Hero of Courage he was. Yamato Ishida had her heart won single-handed. He didn't feel betrayed no, he felt happy yet saddened. That sadness was compounded by her death.
In the time before she had died, Taichi had become a photographer at the pretigious ORE newspaper business. Reason simlpy being was because Taichi needed money to help pay his family's bills, and pull his weight around his home. Sure he was on a scholarship for soccer and was aiming to become a diplomat but... after Sora died... that dream of working for the United Nations sort of stopped...
The bushy-haired boy had chocolate brown eyes and his hair was a darker shade of chocolate brown. He wore a red colored shirt, the hem of the shirt was lined with orange. The turtneck collar was also orange, the boy wore a leather jakcet with red stripes on the sleeves. His pants were khakis and he wore orange with blue-stripes Adias sneakers.
The short-haired, red eyed tween known as Kari Yagami entered their room said, "Hey! You still mopin' in here, Taichi? Daisuke's here to see you. And boy, you should see him!" Her brother looked up through misted eyes. "Hm? Oh sure, send him in..." The boy that came in was a surprise.
Taichi expected to see the white aviator goggles on the urchin hairstyled boy's head, instead, they were a new pair of square goggles much like Daisuke's first pair."Oi! Where are your goggles?" Daisuke held out a box that had a note taped to it and bowed. "Here. Read this."
The note said, "Congrats on getting your job at ORE Journal!" - Daisuke Motomiya. Accept these as a gift of congratulations!" Daisuke said sheepishly, "I didn't have alot to work with in terms of packing paper, so I just used the brown packing paper Miyako got me."
Taichi said jokingly, "This isn't gonna go boom on me, is it?" Daisuke comedically blanched. "No! No, Senpai! No it won't! It's not a bomb, I swear! At least... the last time I checked it wasn't..." The former gogglehead laughed at his apprentice as he placed his gift on his forehead."I accept this gift you bestow upon me."
What he saw inside was a pair of white aviator goggles.. his aviator goggles; the very same pair his grandfather had given to him so long ago. "Wh-y are you giving me thse back?" The response in kind had a smile to it. "I finally bought my own goggles that were like my old ones. I didn't need these on my head anymore plus, I figured you'd feel like a new man wearing these again."
Taichi hung them around his neck. "Thanks, Daisuke. I kinda do." He got up, "Anyway, I'm out of my funk for now, and I need to got to the Hikari studio; Natsumikan called; she said I left something there the last time I was picking out a camera."
Right as he left his room and he felt something appear in his pocket. He fished the item out of his pocket and it was a blank deck case. It only had one card. He drew the card out, and it read, "CONTRACT." "What the hell?"
He heard a voice say, "Your destiny has come." He shook his head and walked out. Taichi left the house and walked towards the elevator only to bump into someone, and he crashed right on top of her. "WHOA! OOF!" The girl dropped her boxes and they clattered, landing on their sides, dumping their contents. "What the hell?! Watch where you're going, asshat!"
Taichi and the girl blushed as they made eye contact. Taichi got up and helped her up, "Sorry about that... I didn't see you coming." As he helped her up, he noticed something in his pocket.
One, she had creamy white skin, straight yet somewhat wavy brown hair, and almond shaped brown eyes, small thin sexy lips and she even had a small nose, her body was curvy as well. Two, she wore a NAVY uniform. and Three, she had to be about Taichi's age. The boy noticed the name "Sugimoto" on the name label. "Oh! You're the new neighbor moving into Mimi's apartment, huh?"
The girl brushed herself off, "Yeah. I am." Her stare seemed cold and Taichi didn't bother faltering. "You're not scaring me one bit,miss." He held his hand forward, "I'm Taichi Yagami; one of your neighbors. Welcome."
The curvy beauty closed her eyes and smirked. "Well, It's the first time I see a man not backing down from my icy stare." She held her hand out, "I'm Captain Mao Sugimoto. But, you can call me Jasmine."
The two shook hands. "Are you headed somewhere?" Taichi nodded, "I'm headed to the Hikari studio. Wanna come?"
She headed into her aparment for a moment and came back out, dressed casually in a black jacket over a white shirt blue jeans and yellow and white shoes. "Sure, you got a ride?" Taichi nodded, "An '07 Suzuki Katana. You?"
Jasmine smiled, donning on her white helmet, "A '05 Honda CBR 1100RR Fireblade." Taichi grinned, "Nice ride." Minutes later, a silver and red motorcylce streaked out of the parking complex, weaving through traffic.
VRRRROOOM! VROOM! were the sounds of the thing whizzing by cars in the bike lane. Luckily, Taichi and Jasmine had helmets on and he was obeying traffic safety laws. As they weaved in and out of the cars passing by, and out of the corner of the Gogglehead's eye he saw the glass on a building shimmer and he could have sworn he saw a red robotic dragon following him.
He could practically hear, "Have courage, my boy..." Within minutes of time, they arrived at a Japanese styled photo studio. The place itself was two-story house, the first floor had bveen converted into a photo studio. The sign on the pole before the patio was in Kanji. It read, "Hikari Studio."
Taichi parked the motorcycle and deactivated it. He sluing his goggles around his neck as Jasmine removed her white helmet. She hung the helmet by its chinstrap around the left handle of the steering device. Taichi placed his keys in his jacket pocket. The two entered the place and they were greeted by a white-haired bespectacled old man.
This is Eijiro Hikari, the man of the house. He smiled, "Oh Hello, Taichi-san. If you're looking for Natsumi-chan, she's in the back sewing something." Taichi nodded, "I'll gte it, in the meantime, Jasmine, meet Eijiro Hikari; he owns this studio/house. Jasmine here just came back from deployment; she's in the Navy."
Jasmine didn't know how to react and she was just silent. Eijiro, on the other hand bowed respectfully, "Oh, Hello Jasmine-chan! Welcome home!" As Jasmine said an icy "Hi", Taichi had made his way into the back of the studio, which was full of mail and film and cameras.
He had found her! The 20 year old Japanese girl had long hair and brown eyes and wore a dark green jacket over a green-gray shirt and denim shorts. She even wore orange socks and shoes. "Ah! There you are!"
Natsumi perked up, "Oh! Taichi-san!" She held up a red-headband. "Well, I made this; your old one ripped and I made you this as a gift." Taichi grabbed the headband and bowed, "Thanks very much." He donned it on, and put the goggles on over the headband.
He checked the mirror and winked. "Not bad." He turned to Natsumi and smiled, "Thanks." he saw the clock on the wall and snapped, "Oh crap! I gotta go! I forgot I was gonna show Jasmine where I'm gonna be working this summer. Gotta go!" Natsumi called after him as he left, "Good luck on impressing your boss, Taichi!"
A few minutes later, Taichi and Jasmine had made their way through traffic and they took the highway. But then, they arrived to the one newspaper in Odaiba known as Ore Newspaper. Taichi parked his bike again and the two walked into the place. They made their way to the offices and Jasmine saw a brunette latin woman sitting near Taichi's new desk.
The young woman smiled, "Oh hello!" She held her hand out then retracted it seeing Jasmine's cold stare. "Who's the pretty girl? She your girlfriend?" Taichi blushed. "MAYA!" Jasmine gave a grin at Taichi blushing. "I'm Capt. Sugimoto. I just moved back home for the first time in 3 years."
Maya bowed, "Maya Young; I'm ORE's newest journalist and Taichi's partner. We're investigating the people vanishing mysteriously. It all started three days after..." She winced as she finished her sentence. "...Sora Takenouchi died."
Taichi smiled. "It's fine." Jasmine frowned. "Who's Sora?" Taichi said as he eyed the clock. "A friend... who I knew for years..."
Jasmine said casually, "You're an American... you speak Japanese pretty well." The three of them slipped into speaking American English pretty soon.
Taichi nodded, "She's lived here since winter and she is a fast learner." Maya nodded, "Yeah. I had to learn real quick; The Japanese language is a lot less complicated than some of the other Asian languages out there."
Jasmine asked, "Why'd she move here?" Maya answered, "A friend named Mimi recommended I come here when I was in New York. She said interesting stuff always happens in Japan; especially when the Digimon are concerned." Taichi laughed as the hours went by as they chatted, "Yeah, it kinda makes sense. Oh crap! I almost forgot Jasmine asked me to help her move in to Mimi's old apartment! Gotta go, bye!"
Maya nodded as Jasmine and Taichi left the place and minutes later, The silver Katana motorcycle peeled out towards the road, but then the traffic started. He heard a dragon's roar and he passed by a mirror, and again he saw the dragon. Evey few minutes, the dragon reappeared on the glass windows as he passed them. Taichi groaned and he took a turn into an alleyway to avoid the mirrors. That was when things went wrong. Very wrong. There were mirrors but they shimmered and arms reached out and yanked Jasmine off the bike and Taichi skidded and landed HARD! Jasmine grunted, and kicked the arms off. The arms were followed by bodies, red colored humanoid newt-themed monsters that wielded shurikens for weapons. These things are called Gelnewts. Taichi got up and rushed the monsters, as if by instinct, he knew how to fight. He grabbed one Gelnewt and kneed it in the gut, and he punched it. Another one rushed him and he blocked its grab but it punched him in the gut. As this happened, Jasmine had fought off her attackers only to be grabbed into the mirror.
Taichi cried, "JASMINE!" as the monsters pummeled him. He got back up and he wound up getting pummeled as he ran into the mirror, and it rippled and he fell through it. He landed again, HARD. The Contract card fell out of his pocket. The monsters attacked him, one Gelnewt threw him into the wall, Another one elbowed him, Taichi caught it and snap-kicked it away.
Taichi drew out his camera and began snapping pictures, blinding the creatures with the flash! SNAP! SNAP! SNAP! The creatures stumbled back, blinded for a few minutes. Taichi backhanded the closest one with his camera. For awhile Taichi was doing well, but the Gelnewts kept coming, the other group kept dragging Jasmine away. "No! She can't... I can't let this happen! I won't let another person die! Not on my watch!" Taichi heard the stoic voice again, "Do you want Power to save her? If you had Power, could you save the people being abducted?"
-Cue Code Geass OST Track 6 The First Signature-
Taichi heard the voice say, "If you wish to save her you must grant my one wish, You must live your life as your cherished one would have wanted to. Bear in mind, If you Contract me, you will also live a life unlike any other; it will not be the same." Taichi gripped the Contract Card as the huge red robotic dragon flew out of the mirror.
The dragon spoke, "Do you accept this Contract and its conditions? If so, then prepare for the war ahead." Taichi's eyes steeled in determination, "Yes! I accept the Contract!" he held the Contract Card up and the dragon flew to him and went into Taichi.
-End Code Geass OST Track 6 The First Signature-
-Cue Digimon's Brave Heart by Ayumi Miyazaki-
The Crest of Courage appeared on his chest and shimmered briefly then vanished. In his left hand appeared a black deck case that had a gold dragon symbol on it, and had four little wings on the four corners of the deck. Taichi held the deck in his left hand and thrusted his Advent Deck forward. It generated a burst of electric red energy that flew to his waist and formed a silver belt around his waist. the belt shimmered.
The boy flung his right arm across his chest and retracted his left fist to his waist. He cried, "HENSHIN!" He slid the deck into the slot. It shimmered red as did the light on the top of the buckle and the deck spun rapidly. Taichi threw his arms out wide, transparent images of armor appeared either side of him and spun towards him. As they merged onto Taichi, he burst into flames, transforming into a hero unlike any other. The flames died down and the eyes on his helmet and the light on his helmet flashed, ending the transformation.
His helmet was silver, gray and black and had a vent covering the helmet's big bug red eyes and a grille covering the mouth. There was a dragon symbol on the top of the dragon-shaped helmet, above that symbol was a red circular ruby. Taichi had a red form-fitting jumpsuit on, over it was armor. His chest was covered by a silver and black chestplate, his shoulders were covered by black shoulder armor. the boy's arms were covered in black armor and his hands were encased in red gloves. His left arm had a red and silver dragon-shaped gauntlet on it. His legs and knees were covered by black and grey armor as were his black boots. His gray-silver belt that held his Advent Deck was at his waist.
He held up his right wrist and clenched his fist. "YUSHA!" The dragon called out him once more, "And now, you are forever known as Kamen Rider Ryuki."
Ryuki smiled at the meaning. His new name meant Dragon Knight in English. He said, "I'll call you Dragredder, okay, partner?" Dragredder nodded, "Now go save that girl using your new powers!"
Ryuki nodded. He then placed his camera on a part of the gutter where the camera could see the monsters but the monsters couldn't see it. He hit the automatic timer and he frontflipped into the fray. "HEY!" Jasmine had been using her training to fend off the Gelnewts but as more kept piling on, she began wishing she had had her gun on her.
Just as the camera began taking pictures, she had elbowed the last Gelnewt and kneed another in the crotch, she felt herself being accosted by a third from behind. She grabbed the thing by the hands and flipped it over her shoulder and she heel-kicked it in the face. Just as she heard Ryuki cry out, she saw him march toward her captors. "Okay now what is that?!"
She punched another one and she snap-kicked two of them back. "I appreciate the help but I can handle them myself." Ryuki said coolly, "I'm just here to help." He demonstrated by jump kicking the Gelnewt coming at her from behind.
Ryuki grabbed another one by the arm and turned, elbowing it in the chest. Dragredder said, "You not only have the ability to fight but you also must command fire." Ryuki gave a right hook, his fist ignited in fire as he struck the Gelnewt in the face. He blocked a blow to his face then he flame cartwheel kicked the monster away. Two more came at him from behind and Dragredder growled, "Use the Advent Cards!"
Ryuki blinked. "The what?" He looked at the card deck on his waist. He pushed the forehead part of the gauntlet on his left arm known as the Drag Visor down over the eyes of the Visor, revealing a card reader slot. With that same hand, he drew a card, the card depicted a red and silver dragon-shaped claw weapon known as the Drag Claw. He showed the face of the card to the enemy, then he slotted the card into the Visor then he pushed the forehead of the Visor back into place.
-Cue Run Around by Jason Radford-
The Drag Visor called out in a metallic voice, "Strike Vent." Out of the mirror, the Drag Claw flew towards him and he caught it in his right hand. He drew his hand back, "Haaaaa..." he shot it forward, the claw opened its jaw spewing out fire at the squad of Gelnewts, incinerating them. "HA!"
The boy Rider again opened his Visor, "All right then, let's ride!" He drew a card that depicted a red-handled Chinese Dao sword on the face. He slotted the card into the Visor and closed the Visor. "Sword Vent." The Dragsaber Dao sword flew smack into the palm of his right hand.
Shuriken flew towards him and he fearlessly sliced them in two as he goaded Jasmine towards a mirror. "Go throught it. I'll hold them off, trust me!" He sliced down one Gelnewt, then blocked a parry to his back.
Jasmine protested, "B...but..." Ryuki commanded, "GO! I'll be right behind you!" She ran into the mirror, it rippled as she went through it. The blade of the sword ignited in fire and he sliced arcs of fire towards two sets of Gelnewts.
Shuriken was thrown at him, he dodged one, he cleaved a Gelnewt in two. Another shuriken clocked him in the face and chest, sparks raked his chest. He stumbled back. "Dammit. I got careless!" He drew a card depicting his Advent Beast and slotted it into the Drag Visor. "Advent." Dragredder flew out of the mirror and roared, crashing and slashing at the Gelnewts.
Ryuki said in an annoyed tone, "I don't have time for this anymore. Time to end this!"
-Cue A Boundless life by Hiroshi Kitadani-
He drew a card that depicted his Advent Deck symbol on the face. He opened his Visor and slotted the card in. "Final Vent."
Dragredder swirled around his Rider as Ryuki brought his arms forward, one hand over the other, hands in clawed gestures. He brought his arms to the left then back over to his right. His left arm was across his body, his left fist was clenched and his right hand was drawn back in a clawed gesture. He crouched as Dragredder flew through the air. "Haaaaaa..." He brought his feet together and leapt into the air.
He leapt high in the air, his left arm up in the air, and he held his right leg up. He did a front flip and twisted his body around. His dragon flew around beside him as he righted himself. Ryuki extended his right leg forward as he clenched his fists. Dragredder flew behind his Rider and breathed fire on him, delivering a flying side kick powered by Dragredder's flames. "DRAGON RIDER KICK!"
His foot connected with the monsters, making them explode. As Ryuki landed, Dragredder began eating the energies of the monsters. Ryuki walked through the mirror, and saw Jasmine.
-End A Boundless life by Hiroshi Kitadani-
Jasmine was watching all of the battle after she had left the mirror. "Whoa!" She saw Ryuki appeared and bowed kindly. "Th-thank you for helping to save me. Did you save Taichi as well?" Ryuki nodded. "Yeah. I did, I sent him home... well..." He held up Taichi's camera. "He left this behind. Can you get this to him; he took photos of the fight and I think its memory card is full." Ryuki became suddenly aware that he was being watched.
Jasmine took the camera out of his hand and nodded. "So, who are you, anyway?" Ryuki did a salute by raised his right hand, placing middle and index fingers together, while bending the other fingers at the second knuckle, and his thumb extended, with the palm facing the ground. "Just a Rider for justice. That's all you need to know."
Jasmine saw Taichi's bike and started it and got on it. She gave a small blush and a smile to her mysterious friends. "Thanks again. So, will we see each other again? I'd like to spar against you sometime." Ryuki gave a curt nod, then she peeled out of the alleyway and left.
He called out to the person watching him. "You can come out now. She's gone." The glass wall shimmered again, then a tanned Filipino man emerged from the mirror.
The man wore a dark trench coat over a black sleeveless muscle shirt, pants and fancy black shoes. "Well, you can know where I am. Your Rider instincts are developing well." Ryuki turned to the man. "Who are you? What do you want?..." he blanched. "How the hell do I get out of this suit?"
The man laughed. "Just concentrate on what you want and... it helps to throw your arms out of the side when you do it." Amusing. An earth boy was wearing the armor he designed and didn't know how to take it off.
Ryuki threw his arms out wide red lights swirled on his biceps and thighs as steam billowed out of his armor. He ignited in fire, his armor became transparent images again and the flames pulled his armor apart and vanished. Ryuki was now Taichi once more.
Taichi asked again. "Who are you?What do you want?" The man motioned for the boy to follow him. The two went through the mirrors again. The two landed what seemd to be a high-tech base of operations.
By looking at the tile on the walls and the martial arts posing on the door before them, Taichi knew where he was. "What the? This is the Red Flame Dragon dojo; this place opened up weeks before-" The man finished his sentence. "...weeks before the people started vanishing and one day before Sora Takenouchi's accident."
Taichi turned to the man. "How did you know about that?" The man sighed, "I'm Eubulon; an alien from the planet Karsh." In case Taichi was about to laugh, his human form faded, leaving Taichi to face the white-faced classic alien from the movies. "And yes, this is my true form; the Area 51 people allowed Hollywood to expose my image without freaking people out that there truly is an alien among them."
As Eubulon morphed back to his humanoid state, he said, "I chose this form to disguise myself. To explain, well, my world was in a civil war; the North was lead by my friend General Xaviax and the south was lead by a friend I knew. The North won but our world was in ruins. On Xaviax's orders, I created a series ot teleportation devices to transport the people of the Reverse World and bring them to Karsh to rebuild our world.. The Reverse World is the world we were just in; a world within your Earth and when I fell ill, a family from that world helped me recover. they convinced me to stop Xaviax or at least convince him to find another way. Xaviax was a bit paranoid and thought I had betrayed him and he decided to enslave the Reverse World's people himself. I warned their world's leaders but... they didn't believe me."
The man went to a computer and pressed a button, the flatscreen TV behind Taichi flickered on. It showed an army rushing towards a target! Lasers blasts fired at what seemed to be something off screen. But they were getting fired on as well! All of them were getting blasted and shot at! The Jet troopers were getting blasted by lightning, two squads fired blaster fire at the assailant but they too were blasted on. The Jet trooper army fell one by one. Taichi gasped as he saw one soldier on top of a train attempt to shoot at the unknown assailant with a bazooka but was then blasted by heat-seeking lasers! Taichi heard the pained screams as the Reverse World army, one by one were killed by the laserfire! Taichi couldn't tear away from the carnage. He took a deep breath when it finally ended with one big explosion around them!
Taichi saw a black and purple light. He saw it die down as it touched the ground. The monster he saw... was pure evil. The thing was stage beetle themed in it head. It was black and it had spikes on its feet and heels. It had a belt that had a red gem in it. It looked sinister as it put his hadns behind his back and surveyed its carnage.
The screen faded to black as Taichi stammered, "What what happened just there?" Eubulon looked down. "Xaviax is that monster, he defeated the Reverse World Military by himself, I went one on one with him days after I created these..."
Eubulon pulled out a tray that had four Advent Decks from his desk. One Advent Deck was black and had silver bat wing marks on the corner and had a gold bat symbol on it. Another deck was pure white and had silver curve marks on the corners and a gold crown crest on the center. The third Advent Deck was green and had silver gears on the lower corners and had a gold bull symbol on the center. The last one was a magenta-maroon color, It had double wave markings on all four corners and had a gold manta ray symbol on the center.
He continued to relate his tale, "Our battle ended in a stalemate and I wound up retreating and he stole the other six Advent Decks I made. I'm working on two, or one now now that you contracted that dragon; he refused to let me contract him because I wasn't worthy. So he and I made our way to Earth like Xaviax did. I warned a group of your planet's Government and they became the Advent Guardians; they supply this base behind the dojo I run."
He smiled, "And that dragon found you and decided to help you recover from your grief." Taichi looked at all the Decks, "So you need me to help you stop Xaviax... I'm guessing I have to lead the Riders?"
Eubulon smiled, "The Phoenix Deck would've made more sense since it is the most powerful of the Advent Decks, but Xaviax stole that one with the rest of them." He frowned. "So, are you in?" Taichi nodded, "Hey, you need help I'll do it."
He eyed the Swan Deck then the others, "I think I know who can use these Decks...well two of them anyway." A sharp ringing blared from the back of their heads. "What the hell is that ringing?!" Eubulon smiled, "That's for letting you know when danger is loose."
Taichi nodded, "I better get moving," He thrust his Advent Deck forward once more, The Crest of Courage shimmered on his chest then vanished, red energy lightning zapped towards his waist forming his Advent Buckle on his waist. He threw his right arm out over his chest and retracted his left fist to his waist. He cried, "HENSHIN!" He slid the deck into the slot. It shimmered red as did the light on the top of the buckle and the deck spun rapidly. Taichi threw his arms out wide, transparent images of armor appeared either side of him and spun towards him. As they merged onto Taichi, he burst into flames, transforming into a hero unlike any other. The flames died down and the eyes on his helmet and the light on his helmet flashed, ending the transformation.
He clenched his right fist and cried, "YUSHA!" He took the Wing Knight Deck and said, "I have a feeling I'm going to need to at least give this one to a friend who can help us..." Ryuki jumped through the mirror, it rippled as he went through it.
Meanwhile, inside a foreboding fortress surrounded by lightning storms, Xaviax screamed. "So... Eubulon escaped. He is alive after all." He eyed a purple deck that a gold cobra symbol on it. "It seems I must fight fire with fire..."
Fade to black...
