Rise Of Xivix
By: DisasterMaster445
Ok, so I'm fascinated by Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight. It's been awhile since I saw the show on CW4Kids. However, I did read up on the finale, which I missed. I was thinking about this last night, and I thought, 'What if Xaviax had a son? What if Xaviax survived the Kamen Riders' Link Vent but he was weakened?' Then I thought, 'What if something happened to the Riders in Ventara, and Master Eubulon had to make new Advent Decks?'
Chapter One: A Hero's Death
Ventara was dark. It was three peace-filled years after the 'death' of Xaviax. A lone man stood in Xaviax's destroyed citadel. He clucked his tongue disapprovingly. "Such a shame. All that power gone to waste now. You're a disappointment…father." The man declared. At the sound of the declaration, a mountain of rubble began to shift. Xaviax crawled out in his human form.
"Xivix. It's good you're here. Those damn Riders weakened me. But, with your help to rally the troops, I can recuperate." He struggled to his feet. One arm was missing, and his skin was charred, but it was already in the process of healing.
"I'm afraid not father. Fate has decreed your failure. And my rise." With that, Xivix grasped his father's throat, and began to crush it. Xaviax, in his weakened state, was unable to stop his spawn, and his head lolled.
"Luckily, I need you alive father." Xivix said. His skin began to ripple, and he took on his true form, which matched his father's. His red eyes and the red jewels on his chest and belt shimmered, and his father's life-force drained into them.
"Now, for a takeover." Xivix laughed. As he turned, he was knocked back by a green blast of energy. He got back to his feet to see the green armored Kamen Rider Torque. He was holding his Shoot Vent cannon.
"I don't know who you think you are Rider, but that won't stop me." Xivix stated dryly. "If my Shoot Vent didn't stop you, maybe this will." Torque pulled another card from his Advent Deck. It had a gold minotaur's head on it. He loaded it into the bottom of his Magna Visor like a clip of ammunition.
"Final Vent." A metallic voice declared. Magnugiga, Torque's Contract Beast, came up from the ground. Torque plugged his Magna Visor into a slot in the metal minotaur's back. Magnugiga's chest opened, showing missile ports. It's legs opened up, revealing laser cannons. Torque pulled the Magna Visor's trigger, and all the weapons on the huge beast opened fire. The blasts streaked around, making plenty of noise, before finally colliding with Xivix with a massive explosion.
"Did that work?" Torque asked. Xivix walked out of the smoke without a scratch. He shook his head slowly. "That was pitiful. Are the other Riders as weak as you?" He laughed. Then he got serious. "I'm sorry. It's time for you to die." His eyes opened wider, and he let loose a burst of red energy. Torque was thrown back into the wall. Xivix walked over and lifted his hand. He drew his fingers together, and drove them through Torque's chest. The Rider gasped as his blood spilled from the hole, staining his green suit dark. He shimmered and began dissolving into a green mist. His green Advent Deck clattered to the floor. Xivix crushed it into pieces.
"Now there's only eleven of those bastards. I won't repeat your failures father." Xivix declared. He opened a portal and stepped through.
Len's eyes shot open, and he opened his pod. He stood up quickly and looked around. "Torque's been Vented." He said. Len walked around, freeing the other Riders from their pods.
"Why've you awakened us?" Hunt asked. "Chance has been Vented." The others were shocked. "Who did it?" Kase asked. "No idea. But it woke me up. We need to get the Advent Deck." They all went to the room where they kept their Advent Decks while they were resting. What awaited them shocked them even more.
"Xaviax!" Len exclaimed. "Not really," Xivix answered as he crushed the Tiger Advent Deck. "But close." Len instantly began issuing orders. "Hunt! Find our trainee Riders, and get to Master Eubulon! The rest of you, try to get to your Decks! Move!"
"But where are we going Axe-Sensei? Why are you awake? Where are the other trainees? Where's Torque-Sensei?" The trainee asked. His name was Nate, and he was set to take over as a new Rider if another Rider was Vented. He was sixteen, with shaggy blond hair and dark green eyes. He wore a blue leather jacket and dark pants.
"Quiet Nate! Xivix killed the others! You're the only one left! We have to go see Master Eubulon!" Hunt threw open the doors to Eubulon's chambers and was met by the Master himself.
"Hunt. What has happened? I felt Chance's Advent Deck get destroyed." Nate looked horrified. "Torque-Sensei?" "Calm down Nate. Master, what is happening?" Hunt asked. "It appears that Xaviax's son has returned to Karsh. He must've found out about his father, and traveled here to Ventara."
"Xaviax's son?" Hunt exclaimed. "Yes. His name is Xivix. He is older than I am, but only half as old as his father. He is incredibly powerful, but not as powerful as Xaviax. He left Karsh long before I began working with his father." Eubulon explained.
"What do we do Master?" Hunt asked. Eubulon turned to a drawer in a desk. "I had planned to retire the current Advent Decks, given the amount of use in past years. I don't want them wearing out. However, it appears that Xivix isn't as keen to recruit as his father. He is destroying the Advent Decks." He shifted a few unseen items around in the drawer. "He has already destroyed the Ox Deck, the Tiger Deck, and the Stingray Deck. He is overpowering the others, not letting them power up." He turned to Hunt and Nate.
"Here." Eubulon handed one of the new Decks to Nate. "This is the Deck I made for you specifically." It was ice blue with a gold trident as the symbol. "And Hunt, I can't code more than one Deck to a Rider. I can't help you. However, I want you to go to Earth on the other side of the mirror. Find Kit. Keep training Nate, and find the mirrors of the Ventarans I merged the Decks to. I'll take the other six and meet you there." He handed four more Decks to Hunt.
"Where are you going Master?" Nate asked. "I'm going to go help Len and the others.
"Where are you Xivix?" Eubulon called. He walked into the Deck room. The remaining Decks were scattered on the floor in various states of destruction. All of them were broken though.
"Here I am." Eubulon whirled. Xivix was in his human form, and looked just like his father. He smirked. "Eubulon, isn't it? I've been to see my father. He sends his warmest regards." "What are you talking about? Your father is dead."
"That's where you're wrong. I found him in a mountain of rubble, healing for three years. We had a nice chat before I absorbed him." Eubulon was moderately shocked. "Absorbed him?" "That's right. Take my father's power an add another to it. I'm twice as powerful now. More than enough to kill my father at his greatest. And you."
"What happened to my Riders?" Eubulon demanded. "Ask them when you see them." Xivix said. They began their death dance.
"Alright. We need to find the right mirror. You've never been to Earth, right?" Hunt asked. Nate nodded. "Ok. As soon as we arrive, Kit should come to us." "Yes Axe-Sensei." "Enough of that. I'm not a Rider anymore, and you are. I'm no longer your teacher."
They kept running through the corridors until they came to a wall of mirrors. This wall was the same as every other wall, but Hunt knew exactly where he was. He'd been to Earth before. They heard growling noises. About ten of Xaviax's red minions leapt around in the hallway following the two Ventarans' trail.
"I don't have an Advent Deck! Let me see how you've progressed. You know what to do, right?" Nate nodded and held his Deck out in front of him.
"Kamen Rider." Light blue sparks traveled down his arm, creating a belt with an open slot for a belt buckle, or the Advent Deck. He slid the Deck into the opening and it began to spin quickly. Blue energy rings appeared around him and spun twice. A completely different figure stood in his place.
The body suit his Rider Armor rested on was dark blue, making his ice blue Advent Deck stand out. There was a dark purple fringe around his neck that was scaled. A light purple cape dropped from it, nearly touching the floor. On his left arm was a metal bracer called the Glacier Visor. It was where he would slide his cards. His helmet was shaped like Wing Knight's except between the two wing-like prongs jutting from the visor was a gold trident. He carried a trident on his back. It was long, with a wax-wood staff leading to the heavy golden trident-head.
"So this is the power you wield Axe-Sensei. I feel amazing." He turned to the minions. "You've just seen the face of death. I am Kamen Rider Neptune. I am master of the Trident Advent Deck." He slid the lid of the Glacier Visor upward, toward his shoulder. He pulled a card from the Deck and spun it between his forefingers. When it stopped, the picture was a mechanical penguin. He shot the card into the slot, and with the same motion, closed the lid.
"Attack Vent." A metal penguin leapt into existence through the mirrors behind the new Rider. It crossed its arms and they began to glow. It slashed its arms out and all the minions hit the ground before dissolving. They heard clapping and whirled around. Xivix stood in his human form.
"Congratulations. You made quick work of those minions of my father's. Let's see what you make of me." He challenged. Neptune pulled his trident from his back and got in a stance.
"No Nate." Hunt said. "You must take the Advent Decks and go to the human side of the mirror. I will hold him off." He passed the four other Decks to the Rider and prepared for his doom.
"Axe-Sensei. No." Neptune said. "Damn it. I said to call me Hunt." While they were speaking, Xivix stared at the vents in Neptune's possession. He spoke up.
"You have four Decks. I have six." He showed the various colored Decks to them. "How did you get those?" Hunt demanded. "I took them from Eubulon before I crushed the Advent Key and Vented him." Hunt charged, but not before pushing Neptune into the mirror. The last thing he saw was Xivix grab Hunt's neck and twist sharply. Then he leapt into the mirror as well. Neptune spilled out of the mirror on the other side, and drove his trident into the glass, shattering it.
"Who the hell are you?" Asked a voice. Neptune leapt to his feet and saw his hero growing up. "You're Kit Taylor. Dragon Knight." He said. Kit loaded a card.
"Sword Vent." His dragon-tail shaped sword spun through the air and into his hand. "I said, 'Who the hell are you?'"
"I'm Kamen Rider Neptune. I was sent here by Master Eubulon before Xivix killed him." Kit started. "Killed? Wait, who's Xivix?"
"I don't believe a word of it. I don't know how you got Rider Armor, but you don't seem experienced enough to be able to beat me." He advanced with his sword.
"Fine Dragon-Sensei. If that's how you want it." He ignored Kit's cry of 'Stop calling me that damn it!' and loaded another card.
"Sword Vent." He grabbed the golden base of the trident and pulled it away from the wax-wood shaft, and they disconnected. The trident-head pulled away with a long, thin blade connected to the base, now acting as a hilt. The shaft had a short, thick blade attached at the end, doubling the shaft as a halberd.
He caught Kit's blade in his own, and struck his breastplate with the end of the halberd. Kit staggered back. "I'm more experienced than you think. I've trained with the other Riders for these past three years. I was the best candidate to take over for the first Rider to retire." His voice became somber.
"The other trainees didn't make it out of the Rider base. I was commanded to find the Earth mirrors of my friends, and give them the Advent Decks." "You're serious. Master Eubulon really is…dead. What about Len and Kase? Are they…too?" Neptune nodded.
"Where are these new Advent Decks?" "I'm not sure. I had them when I went through the mirror. Maybe they're in my clothes. Let me power down. The rings of energy swirled around him again and he took on his normal form. He patted down his jacket.
"Damn. They're gone!"
There you have it, the Rise of Xivix. Now, I don't want to have to make up nine OCs, but I will if I have to. I'm not sure about the Dragon Knight Fanbase, and if this'll actually be read, but if you want an OC in this fic, comment with appearance, Deck color, Advent Beast, Rider Armor appearance, cards, and what the cards do, also, give me a personality to work with. Comment and tell me what cha think. Ja Nae.
Note: When picturing Kamen Rider Neptune's Advent Beast, picture Empoleon from Pokemon, except the dark blue is black, and the light blue is grey. Got it? Not that hard y'all.
