Double Trouble Before Heatherfield: Will's Prolouge

Chapter 1: Ride With the Devil

No this is not Ghost Rider and will most likely not have anything to do with him unless he shjows up as a cameo for some reason which I do not have planned. This is a Kamen Rider W and WITCH fusion and though I don't have it live on my website yet, I do have some things I'm working on such as some meet the characters stuff and information and pics about some of the equipment used in the story.

I wanted to thank Penguin Lord0029 for all of his help developing this story such as names for some of the characters and everything else that he did getting this story set up and ready.

Will couldn't help whistling to herself as she admired the way she looked in the mirror, turning one way then the other while adjusting her father's favorite white hate with the black band. There was a very small tear in the brim of the hat, but her father wouldn't replace it saying that it held too many memories. She was too distracted by the hat to realize someone came in the office slash apartment until it was too late.

"Heeeyyyy!" Will whined as the hat was snatched off her head.

"I told you a hundred times Will, you don't need to be worrying about a hat." Tony said, smiling at his daughter even as he shook his head ruefully.

"But I want to be a hard boiled detective like you daddy." Will says, pouting as he tosses the hat across the room to land directly on the peg it was usually kept at. He pulled off the black one he was wearing and brushed off the little bit of snow that had melted off. Not that the office was warm enough to melt it quickly.

"No you don't, honey, believe me. It is a very difficult and heart wrenching thing at times, you need to be hard boiled to deal with it." Tony said softly, looking at the brim of the dark hat. "The brim that can conceal your eyes...it's job is to hide your softer side from the world. I never want you to ever have to hide that from the world. Your kindness and love are the things I love most about you sweetie. You are always there with a kind word and loving support for anyone in need. I don't want to see you lose that."

"I can keep that and still be hard boiled daddy!" Will exclaimed staring defiantly at her father.

"Will...many of the cases I have dealt with has had bad endings. Endings that would make most men cry and would definitely make you shed tears. I don't like seeing this city cry...but I hate seeing you cry even more. You deserve to be happy and I want you to find that happiness and forget this foolishness about becoming a detective." Tony said before tossing the hat to join the white one on a peg next to it.

"Daddy..." Will started before she was cut off by the phone's loud ringing. She couldn't help pouting as Tony sighed and answered the phone. She couldn't hear what was being said exactly though as he talked in hushed tones while Will stood across the room from him, looking up at the hats hanging on the wall.

"Honey...I really hate doing this, but I have to go. I have a really important case that I have to check into, but I'll be back later tonight. I have to rescue a boy about your age from a dangerous place." Tony said pulling some money from his wallet and putting it down on the corner of the desk. "Order you a pizza later, and make sure you do your homework."

"Okay Daddy." Will said hugging Tony tightly, standing on her tiptoes to kiss his cheek, giggling a little as his stubble tickled her.

""I'll be home in time to tuck you in honey." Tony said kissing her forehead before grabbing his white hat, his favorite one that he only wore for the most important cases as well as his coat and hurried from the office.

Will looked at the money and decided to take it as she hurried and pulled on her boots and grabbed her own coat before hurrying from the office, locking it up as she left. She saw her father's car slowly driving away and smiled when she saw a taxi and hopped into the back.

"Follow that car." Will said, waving the money as the driver looked at her with an arched eyebrow. When Will waved the money he just shrugged and pulled out giving chase to the car. Will watched as the car pulled over and a strange looking woman with a large black fedora and an overly large trench coat handed Tony a metal case through the open window. As the woman stepped back Tony pulled away as he cab once again gave chase.

It wasn't until they reached the edge of the city, the outskirts really, when Tony's car stopped near a huge skyscraper looking building overlooking the lake. For some reason it gave Will an uneasy feeling just looking at it. She almost wanted to just turn back when she looked over the seat at the counter. She didn't have enough to cover it...she seriously doubted he would take her back for free.

"Are you getting out or what?" The driver asked gruffly.

"I'm...two dollars short." Will said nervously.

"You have to be shitting me kid, all this crap and you can't even pay me what you owe me?" The driver asked angrily, holding his hand over the seat. Will nervously handed the money over, the man snatching it from her hand. "Get out, and don't bother getting in my cab again brat."

Will sighed as she stood outside, shielding her face from the dust and few rocks the cab kicked up as it squealed it's tires before shooting off down the road. Of course Will could always wait in her father's car, but she was going to get in the same amount of trouble if she went ahead and followed or stayed there. And she did come here to follow her dad and wait for the chance to prove that she really could help him.

Following where she saw him entering a drain pipe of some kind, Will held her nose as she walked to the side of a small stream of...something almost greenish. Ignoring it...with a bit of effort...Will made her way down the tunnel until coming to a dead end as a grate was blocking her way. Above her was another grate, though it was bolted down and was actually already pushed partly out of the way. With a little effort Will jumped up and climbed her way through the hole and found herself in what was probably a basement with a flight of stairs not too far off where she saw her father's legs disappearing up them.

Slowly following him up the stairs she came out in what looked like a warehouse with crates sitting everywhere, stacked from floor to ceiling. Slowly making her way through the maze she was getting close to a scaffolding and catwalk when someone grabbed her roughly from behind, an arm around her waist and another covering her mouth. She tried to scream as she struggled against the hard body holding her against it as she kicked her feet as she was lifted into the air a few inches before being dropped back to her feet.

"Will! What are you doing here?" Tony demanded, fear and anger filling his voice.

"I just wanted to prove that I could help you, dad." Will sighed. "I wanted to prove that I can be just as hard boiled as you."

"Oh honey...you have no idea what you did...how dangerous this place is." Tony said as footsteps could be heard coming across the wire walk above. Tony quickly gave Will the metal case and pulled her back under the solid portion of the scaffolding and behind a stack of crates. "Whatever you do, don't move until I come back and get you. Do you understand?"

"Y-yes." Will said, swallowing as fear began filling her. She was starting to realize that maybe this was a bad idea as she could be in serious danger. She watched as Tony sneaked out from where she was hiding and climbed the steps to face a group of men in suits surrounding him. Tony held his hat and looked around at the men, flicking his wrist out and sweeping his finger around in a circle as he turned pointing to each of the men in contempt.

"You are the best they could send against me...I feel sorry for you." Tony said just as the men advanced on him. As one threw a punch, Tony grabbed it in one hand while kicking a foot back catching one coming from behind in the stomach before bringing it forward just as he let go of the first man's fist to kick him in the head knocking him down. The next one Tony ducked a metal pipe and punched him in the stomach making him stumble back before Tony hit him in the face knocking him down.

The remaining men pulled what looked like USB flash drives from their pockets, holding them up and pushing a button on the side.

MASQUERADE

The strange voice coming from the devices sent a chill down Will's back as she watched the man jab them in their necks. The devices sank into the men's necks as their body and faces morphed, changing shape to look like a darker suit with a mask on their faces...but looking closer Will could tell they weren't mask. What looked like masks was actually a part of their face...they were their faces.

TABOO

A red creature, for that's all Will could think of to describe the obviously female thing without legs floated high into the air above the group and Will's father. Will couldn't help shaking as she realized that it was some kind of monster.

"I once made a promise that I would never use memories in my line of work when I could avoid it." Tony said puling out a strange device on a belt and slipped it on around his waist as the woman gasped.

"How did you get the lost driver?" The woman demanded.

"Now...I guess I can't avoid it." Tony declared loudly pressing a button on a another USB flash drive he pulled out of his jacket as he removed his hat.

SKULL

"Henshin!" Tony said loudly shoving the USB device into a slot on the device that served as the belt buckle before shoving the red thing to the side a bit making a small wind circle Tony as particles formed n the air being drawn to Tony creating armor as it passed from his feet upwards ending with a skull shaped helmet adorning his head. Placing his hat back on h once again flicked his wrist out, pointing at the red woman monster. "Now...let's count up your sins."

Will couldn't believe it, her dad was a super hero. Said super her was making quick work of the men while the floating woman kisses the tips of her fingers as if she was preparing to blow a kiss, but instead she blew spheres of energy down below her to explode on contact throwing the men back as Tony just stood there, holding his hat on as the explosions happened around him.

Tony pulled out a gun and started shooting the leftover men knocking them back before taking aim at the woman. As she blew more spheres of energy at Tony he took aim and shot them down before the even got close to him.

It was amazing seeing her father in action, but a movement to the side near her caught her attention. A boy about her age walked through a door making Will realize that this must be the boy her father was here to save. If she could get to him while Tony was distracting those things, she could show her father just how much she could help him. She could prove that she could be a hard boiled detective and she wouldn't be pushed to the side every time an important case came up anymore. She would be able to help her father and they could spend more time together. After a moment's hesitation Will ran after the boy while hugging the metal case to herself. He was wearing what looked like white silk pajamas.

Will followed the boy down a corridor lit with a soft greenish light, calling out, "Hey, I'm here to help you."

"The boy stopped for a moment before turning to look her up and down before snorting. He started walking forward again, saying, "Who might you be? You don't seem like someone who belongs here. You lack any talents that would make you an asset to the syndicate..."

Will couldn't help feeling her jaw drop at the reply. Was this boy actually insulting her after she told him she was here to help him? As she followed him into a large room filled with large screens with schematics for the USB devices she stood in shock. The boy went over to look at one of the screens and then down at a table with a partially built one. Looking around the room Will could see glass displays holding a variety of the devices making Will shiver.

"You...are you the one making those things...the things that turned those men and that woman into monsters?" Will asked as a shiver ran through her as he looked up smiling at her. Instead of answering he grabbed the case and kneeled down on the floor opening it to reveal another device similar to the one her father used except it had two slots in it. On the other part of the case it was lined with six of those USB devices...yet they were different. They were different colors and looked much more refined, more smooth while the others had ridges that almost made them look like a fossil somehow.

"This...this is amazing! Who commissioned this? The boy asked slamming the case shut and standing back up only for Will to grab it back. "Whoever uses this driver will be able to unify with me...using two memories at the same time...combined with my knowledge...it would be the birth of the ultimate superhuman!"

Will cringed as she held the case tightly to her as the boy started laughing a bit. She started growing angry when she remembered seeing that woman...those men...the monsters they became.

"Why are you laughing you little devil! Because of you...you made those monsters! My dad is risking his life coming here to help someone who is making monsters!" Will screamed at him as tears started to leak from her eyes.

"Would you say that someone who works in a factory making guns is evil?" The boy asked curiously as he looked at Will, cocking his head. The question made Will stop short as she gave the boy a heated glare. "Of course not, the people who uses them for evil are at fault. I simply want to see more effective...more powerful memories."

"Shut up!" Will yelled at the bay making him take a step back, stumbling into a booth that filled with light as the boy began to regain his balance. The look of shock on his face shook Will as the light intensified, looking as if there were numbers and letters mixed into the green glow as the boy vanished along with the light.

She wasn't sure what happened to him, but Will realized she just messed up badly. She wasn't sure what happened to the boy, but she was sure he wasn't killed. It seemed more like it transported the boy somewhere, but that was impossible wasn't it? Then again, she thought monsters weren't real before just a few minutes ago.

"Will! You had me worried, where were you?" Tony asked as he came rushing into the door, breathing heavily. He looked rather frantic, but happy to see Will was safe as he hugged her.

"I saw a boy, dad. I thought he was the one you came to help so I followed him." Will said making Tony smile as he backed up and looked around.

"Where is he?" Tony asked making Will nervously point to the booth making Tony let out a sigh of annoyance.

"Damn it." Tony said as he went over to one of the computer terminals and started hitting buttons on it making the diagram of the device vanish to be replaced with what looked like a floor plan of the building. "DAMN IT! He's on the top floor...in the Gaia Tower."

"The top floor?" Tony sighed as he looked at Will with worry filling his eyes. "It's too dangerous to go back...there's too many of them patrolling the warehouse and they're sure to have found the drainage grate we came in at. The best thing we can do is go forward...once we get the boy we can escape much easier."

"So I get to go with you?" Will asked in excitement making Tony sigh in defeat as he pulled his hat off and ran his fingers through his hair.

"You have to do everything I say, no questions. And you have to stay behind me." Tony said.

The two made their way through the floor until they found a fire escape and made their way up it slowly being careful to listen for any footsteps. It was a long trek up all of those flights of stairs and Will was exhausted by the time they reached the top. She wanted to reach out and smack her father over the head when she saw the climb barely winded him. He held a finger up to his lips in a gesture to let Will know to be quiet.

As they sneaked out into the open floor with a weird device hanging from the ceiling, holding a large crystal about a foot off the floor where the boy was floating in the middle of it. It was so surreal that Will was beginning to think that this all could be a dream...it had to be. She watched as her father confidently walked forward and placed the palm of his right hand against the crystal.

Tony found himself standing in a white room that seemed to go on forever in every direction...including down. Millions upon millions of book shelves lined every inch of the room leaving just enough space to walk between them. There three cases before him sat the boy looking ahead, his gaze looking so lost and sad.

"Are you ready to get out of here?" Tony asked the boy who sighed deeply.

"I was told to stay here..." The boy said softly as he slowly turned his head to look up at Tony. "By a man...who called himself...Terror."

"Listen...have you ever done anything of your own choice before. Of your won free will?" Tony asked as he crouched down next to the boy. Slowly the boy shook his head sadly while Tony took a deep breath before continuing. "Then this will be the start. You can leave this twisted prison of your own will if you so choose. And then...once your free...Count up your sins."

"My sins?" The boy asked as he scrambled to his feet.

"What's your name?" Tony asked as he turned away from the boy, looking off into the distance into the sea of books. As the silence went on Tony turned curiously, seeing the confused look on the boys face. "Then...let's call you this...Phillip."

"Phillip?" The boy asked, as Tony looked at a book sticking out of a shelf he was near. It was one of his favorite books, one he knew well.

"Phillip Marlowe...it's a favorite of mine...the name of a real man's man. He solves everything through his own choices."

"I can...choose?" Phillip asked softly making Tony smile and nod his head.

Will was surprised when the crystal started to crack around Tony's hand...shattering letting the boy collapse out of it and into Tony's waiting arms. The boy smiled a little, though he seemed a little weak and out of it.

"Come on, let's get him out of here." Tony said as he draped one of the boy's arms around his neck, Will doing the same with the other arm to help support him as the hurried across the floor. They didn't even hear the small group of men rush out on the floor behind them, one holding a gun which he unloaded into Tony's back knocking them all to the floor. Phillip stumbled up, confused as to what was going on as Will crawled over to her father.

"Dad!" Will cried out as she rolled Tony over enough to see his face full of pain. She could almost see his life slipping away out of his face.

"Will..." Tony wheezed, "You...you have to take this case on..."

Will could only look on as tears streamed down her face as she watched her only family slipping away. She loved her father so much, he may not have been around as much as she would have liked, but they were close. He loved her, and she loved him and now...now she would never be able to make him proud of her. She would never be able to spend one more day with him...She sobbed as he reached out, took his fallen hat and sat it on her head.

"That kid...take care of him...Phillip...take care of my daughter...take care of each other." Tony said, hissing out in pain as the men started surrounding them.

"Don't say that Daddy...you will be there to take care of us...you have to be, you can't die. Your too hard boiled to die Daddy!" Will sobbed out.

"Go home Will...Heatherfield..." Tony said, trying to say something else but he started choking before he collapsed...breathing his last breath.

"DADDYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!" Will shrieked as she threw her head back before collapsing on top of Tony sobbing.

"No...please no..." The boy sniffed, his own tears falling before a helicopter lowered to hover outside the window just as the floor started bubbling before exploding upwards sending Will, the boy and the metal case flying behind a staircase leading up to the observation deck surrounding the upper part of the room just as the red monster woman floated up through the hole while the helicopter started shooting at them, the bullets hitting the wall of the stairwell where the boy and her ducked behind.

"Do you have the courage to ride with a devil?" The boy asked opening the case and showing it to Will.

"How is that going to help us?" Will sniffed, fear fueling her adrenaline as she stared at the device and USB looking drives.

"This is a driver and these are gaia memories. Put this on and take this." The boy said handing the device and a dark purple, almost black USB stick to Will. Will slipped the belt around her waist, it locking in place on it's own as one appeared around the boy's waist. "Now press the button the same time I do, and when mine appears in the slot here...push down on it then add yours to the other slot."

"Fine." Will huffed, tears still falling as they both stood up, holding the memories up.

CYCLONE

The greenish one said as the boy pushed his, Will following suit.

JOKER

As the boy shoved his into the slot on his right hand side, it vanished reappearing in the matching slot on the device around Will's waist. Will shoved it in all the way before shoving the other in the remaining slot and flipped them outwards. She jerked in shock at the rush of power flooding through her body as she said "Henshin!"

CYCLONE~JOKER

A cyclone of air and particles traveled up her body before she was incased in armor hugging her body, the right half being green and the other a dark purple that was nearly black. The winds didn't stop though, they increased so much that the helicopter lost control and crashed into the building exploding in a ball of fire.

"What the hell is going on?" Will's voice cams as she looked around the destruction in the room, then down at the unconscious form of the boy. The left hand side's eye in the helmet flashing as she spoke. "What happened to me?"

"I guess you still haven't quite grasped the situation." The boy's...no, Phillip's voice said as the right hand eye flashed while his voice came out of Will's mouth. The floor started shaking though as the top several floors became weakened from the fires and the explosion before collapsing under them.

Will was shocked when she saw a small mechanical raptor come out of nowhere and grabbed the back of Phillip's shirt and made sure he had a safe landing while Will landed with a slight grunt, but no real pain. Standing up Will looked at the small...toy like raptor before walking over to it.

"I see..." Phillip said.

"See what?" Will asked, scared of what was going on as she could feel Phillip in her mind. Her right hand moved on it's own closing the device back and pulling the green memory out of the slot reversing the transformation. Will couldn't stop looking at her hands as they were back to normal as Phillip stood up and walked over to her.

"It's okay...let's switch, we will get out of here together." Phillip said as the raptor jumped into his hands and the boy started folding it up revealing a hidden memory. Will was going to ask what was going on when Phillip smiled as he pushed a button on the raptor turned memory.

FANG

JOKER

"Henshin." Phillip said as Will felt herself swaying before she fell unconscious as the memory left in the driver disappeared and reappeared in the left hand side of Phillip's drive before he stuck the memory in the open slot and flip them outward, folding the fang over connecting the two memories together.

FANG~JOKER

A burst of energy engulfed Phillip, though there was no wind this time as the particles surrounded his body leaving him in the colors of Joker on the left hand side while the right hand side was white. The body was male this time as it was Phillip who transformed, and the armor looked more feral with sharp spines traveling up the body and the eyes more sharp looking.

Will opened her eyes, fear flooding through her as Phillip through his head back in a bestial roar. She couldn't help freaking out as she found herself inside a male body. She didn't have much time to think as Phillip threw himself at the group of masquerade creatures charging at them, easily throwing one after another aside until half of them were dealt with.

It was a frightening experience as she could feel the body, could feel Phillip's mind in a berserker like state. The white hand flicked a switch on the raptor looking memory.

ARM FANG

A white blade grew out of his wrist before slashing outwards at the approaching figures, a shockwave of energy flashing through the air knocking them back. He cut through one after another, dodging kicks and punches as he easily dispatched all of the attacking things.

"What the...that power?" The red woman asked in awe and a little fear as she floated above the fighting group. He flipped the switch again making another blade grow from his shoulder.

SHOULDER FANG

He reached back and yanked it from his shoulder, Will feeling a small flash of pain before he threw it at the remaining six creatures. It flashed back and forth slashing through each one throwing them back away from Phillip as he let out another animalistic roar. The red woman screamed in pain and fury as the blade flew up and slashed her in the shoulder, leaving her griping it in pain

Will looked a little sympathetically at her as she seemed in a lot of pain before hate for the thing filled her. It was her fault and these masquerade things that killed her father. The battle down her, the waves of energy from the fangs causing fire as it blasted through crates containing flammable materials apparently. A part of her hoped this bitch died in the flames. Thinking about the flames seemed to calm Phillip down as he looked down at Will's prone body and picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder.

As Will remembered her father she begged Phillip to go back for him, though they both knew it was too late. Small explosions started shaking the building and if they didn't get out soon they would be killed as well. Then again, Will wanted to die...her father was dead and she had no one left, no reason to go on.

"Please don't think that way...I...I'll be there for you." Phillip said as he jumped out of a window just as the entire building went up in a large fireball. Will was mad at the boy to, and mad at herself as well. Still, remembering her father's last words...she knew what she had to do.

This is going to be a short story, 3 to 4 chapters most likely as it introduces Will and how she ended up returning to Heatherfield. There will also be another one following Will's twin sister, then the main story will have both in it on and off and will be much longer.

I don't have a lot of time since I'm kind of baby sitting my boyfriend's little sister. I wanted to post this though so I can let everyone know I may not get a lot done this weekend, though I'll try to get some done tomorrow. I originally wanted to wait until I finished off New bad Girl in Town to post this, but I also wanted to wish all the fathers out there a happy father's day Sunday in case I can't get anything else done.
