[Good luck…]
I opened my eyes with a silent gasp, shooting up in my bed… "I should have done… Something…" I muttered to myself, getting out of bed and walking over to my desk… Sheets of paper lay scattered on it, bits of plastic and metal sitting in piles messily… "I wish I knew what this meant… And why I keep having that dream…" I groaned, sitting in the chair and thinking…
It was weird… The dream was always the same. It started with infinite cubes, a sorta violet reddish colour… Then, one shot towards me, saying something, but before it hit me, a different voice would stop it, and they would converse… Then, it would change colour to green, and flew into me… And… Good Luck? What's that meant to mean?
I looked at the sheets again, trying to figure them out… "They have to mean something…" I muttered, putting them all over the table, connecting them…
Then I realised.
They all connected. Two Devices… I was a Tinker. I'd triggered. "Shit."
A bit of backstory for why this is a bad thing!
So, Hi! My Name's Alfie Nekros! Don't question the last name. For as long as I can remember, I've been an unofficial Ward of the Slaughterhouse Nine… Officially, I just interested them enough to leave me and the town I lived in Alive… But what that meant, was that the Nine had an entire Town they could threaten or use as a safe haven... All because child me decided to pick up Jack Slash's knife, and throw it at him. I missed, obviously, but it did manage to get him stuck to a wall for a moment! So obviously, everyone in town hates me, and only puts up with my existence because if I leave town, the Nine will kill them all next time they visit… Which is why I'm gonna leave soon. I hate the town, they hate me, hell, they even tried to kill me once! So yeah, the town dying wouldn't really bother me much. There was that one girl, but she left town a few weeks ago. So she'd be fine. I think her name was… Sarah… I dunno. Anyway. The Reason my Cape-Ness is a bad thing, is that the Nine specifically said, that if I ever became a cape, and they didn't cause it, the town would die, along with me. Of course, that's if I don't survive initiation into the Nine… Which I don't want! So, Imma build my tech, and run!
If… I can figure this out… Luckily, I had a habit of buying metal and plastic, and other stuff, to fiddle with and make toys out of. The shops didn't mind me much, since I paid, but they didn't like me, no sir!
I quickly figured out what I'd need…
First on the list… Mountain Dew. It had to be the Green one. Then, I'd need… Lighter Fluid, water, and a watch battery.
Next, watch Straps, some metal and plastic, and some of those ratchet thingies in combining toys. The Clicking things? You know what I mean.
Some paint as well!
Once I'd bought all of it, from different shops obviously. I went back to my home, which was more of a warehouse than anything, since the Town didn't want me to live in a home alone… Yeah, I was kinda an Orphan, let's not get into that. Anyway, I was happy with the Warehouse, and the Town was Happy to let me live there and not pay rent or anything.
Sitting down at my desk, I began to Tinker…
Capes were in heated battle, Heroes and Villains united against a common foe… The Simurgh…
Miss Militia sighed as she knocked away another of the Simurgh's victims… They were starting to surround her, but she didn't want to kill them if she could avoid it… But it looked like she might have to…
"Standby! YES SIR! LOADING!" Music began to play, coming from somewhere… The Simurgh's victims paused, seeming startled for a moment, allowing Miss Militia to knock them back with a concussion based weapon.
"Henshin!" A voice said from the same place as the music, making it stop.
"Tengan: Necrom! Mega Ulord! CRUSH INVADER!" As the sounds finished, a flash of green light shone, and a figure walked out of the shadows…
He was wearing a white suit, with Black on the outer sides of his body, green lines decorating it… On his chest was an Eye symbol, with a horn of some kind… He was wearing what looked like a black jacket, which had holes in it, with green edges, and what seemed to be small containers of a green liquid on the shoulders, tubes connecting them to the sleeves… On his left wrist was a somewhat bulky device, but still small enough to not get in the way. Where his face should be… Was a strange sight. It was a black, featureless helmet, with a green Disk on the front, with a White horn like device sticking out of the front… It was… Certainly intimidating. He pulled the hood off of his head, letting it rest on his neck.
"Whoa… That… Was a rush." He said, his voice, that of a teenager… Though, it seemed almost… Ghostly… Like he wasn't truly there… Snapping his fingers, the Simurgh's victims, within a large area around him, froze in place, making him whistle in appreciation. "Neat." He muttered, snapping again, causing the Victims to pass out on the spot. "So… Is there like… A procedure I should follow for this, or…?" He asked Miss Militia curiously.
"Who are you?" She asked cautiously.
"I'm here to Help! Kamen Rider Necrom! … I don't know why I said that name, but it's good, so I'm stealing it!" He said, giving a cheesy thumbs up, sounding excited.
"Miss Militia." She said, nodding to him. She quickly turned to her wristband, speaking into it as fast as she could. After a moment, she nodded, and pulled out another band, giving it to Necrom. "Put this on, and say your cape name. It'll let us keep an eye on your Vitals, it also has a self-destruct function if you fall under the Simurgh's Song." She explained, as he put it on his right arm, due to his left being already covered by the Device.
He nodded, and spoke into it. "Necrom." He stated. It flashed, showing it was registered… And then…
"Necrom Deceased, E-2"
"… Um… That… Is not true. I have a pulse…" He said slowly, tapping the wristband.
"Necrom Down, E-2."
"… I think it's broken."
"Necrom In Action, E-2."
"That sounds right?"
Miss Militia, nodded, slightly befuddled.
At that, Necrom ran off, straight towards the Simurgh.
As he approached, the Victims began to stop their actions, instead, lining up against walls…
"Okay… Let's give this a shot!" He said excitedly, taking a deep breath, and making an eye symbol with his fingers… The Simurgh shook, worrying everyone, and then, a small jacket floated out of it, the Simurgh lifting up debris to throw at him.
Necrom turned to the Jacket.
"Ziz. Lend me your power. I'll save you, and your family. I swear." He said to it. The Jacket nodded, and flew into the arm mounted device, a strange eyeball-like device coming out. "Sweet. Let's do this!" He exclaimed, pulling a different eye-ball device out of the arm one, it looked different, more mechanical then the new one… He put the new one in, and did something, rotating the arm device…
"Tengan: Simurgh! Mega Ulord! ZIKAN ANGEL!" The Device exclaimed, as the black Jacket vanished, the new one replacing it. It lacked the arm containers and tubes, and was a silver colour, with a Pair of Wings on the back, which flapped gently… The face was different as well, slightly. The Green was gone, replaced by silver, with small Wing shapes around it… The hood stayed on his head, instead of going around his neck.
"Sweet! … Shit. I can't see…" He muttered softly, before pausing. "Oh… Okay! This is pretty weak, but that makes sense." He noted, flying into the air, dodging the debris thrown at him without a second thought… He kept dodging, swerving, throwing his own Debris back at her… Eventually, with the help of more Capes, such as Legend and Eidolon, the Simurgh was driven off. Necrom landed, panting, but clearly not tired much. "That… Was… AWESOME!" He exclaimed, pulling out the eye device, and put it… Somewhere… His Armour vanished to reveal a teenager, maybe fourteen at most.
His hair was the colour you'd call black, though, when hit with direct light, was actually a dark brown. It was startlingly long, going past his shoulders in length, and very curly.
His eyes were a teal colour, one you'd call blue, but could easily be mistaken for green.
He was fairly tall as well for his age.
"I… I think I might pass out now. I was running on adrenaline, and now I've just realised what I just did, so if someone could help, I'd appreciate it a lot." He said, before passing out. Just like he'd said…
Miss Militia shared a look with Legend and Eidolon, before getting him somewhere safe, putting a domino mask on his face to protect his identity for the time being… It was certainly unexpected, that was for certain…
In the past, specifically, January. Taylor Hebert…
I thrashed, struggled, tried to get someone, ANYONE, to open the locker door… The bugs were biting me, crawling all over my body, my clothes… Eating whatever they wanted… "Someone… Please help me…" I sobbed, coughing out bugs that tried crawling into my mouth. "I-I don't want to die…" I cried, my knuckles bloody and covered in bugs and other gross things… "N-Not like this…" I whispered, crying my eyes out… This was it… The end for me… I could feel my breathing slowing down… My eyes growing heavy… I could see the light… Light…? LIGHT! The Locker was opened! Not much, but I'd managed to dent it enough to get light. If I could get it open more, I could be free! I started banging my head against the door, as hard as I could! It was getting harder to think… But… I managed it, falling out of the Locker, covered in… Ugh… Before… Closing… My eyes…
One Week Later
I coughed, opening my eyes slowly… I… I was alive…. I WAS ALIVE! I smiled to myself, not noticing how worried everyone seemed… I sat up, nobody did anything. "Um… Hello?" I said softly, startling the Doctor, and Dad…
"T-Taylor?!" Dad exclaimed, confused.
"It's me. What's wrong?" I asked, equally confused.
I looked down, and saw nothing, not even my legs. "I-I'm invisible?!" I exclaimed confused. I reached out for dad, and my body appeared. Only… I was slightly see through… I was… A ghost…
