Stage 1: Kidnapped into a game! New Orange first Henshin!
For average student Andrew Malice, it was an average summer day. Off from his summer job at the local convenience store for the day, he was at home at the moment. With his friends working and his parents out, he decided now was the right time to continue playing his new game, Hyrule Warriors. A grin came to his face as his features came into vision. Dark brown, borderline black hair, cut short for the heavy heat of the summer. A loose shirt with a pair of jeans and boots to complete his outfit. He adjusted his glasses on his face, his hazel eyes peered at the game as he started to play. He got comfortable as he picked Legend Mode and waited for the game to load. But, he had a weird sense of foreboding. The game screen was still black but his Wii U Game Pad had a very strange spiraling purple screen. The dark feeling became worse as heard a dark cackle echo in his ears.
"Mmm, so you are the one whose destiny is unseeable by me." A dark but very feminine and sensual voice rang out. He dropped his game pad and looked around.
"Who are you!? Where are you!?" He shouted, nervous. As if on instinct, he grabbed a toy DX Sengoku Driver and Orange Lockseed. A toy Daidaimaru and Musou Saber in his hands, the voice rang out again.
"Really darling, you think mere toys will save you? You are either brave or stupid." The voice mocked him, he growled but also swallowed thickly and nervously. He was walked in circles, scared in his own house.
"It's cute how you try and act brave in the face of the unknown," the voice spoke out again in a mocking and sensual tone but soon turned cold and deadly, "But I won't find it cute much longer." It said as suddenly a figure appeared in front of him.
"You…" He gasped out as fear firmly gripped his heart. In front of him was a rather tall woman, as opposed to his 5'7" frame, she was actually a bit taller. Her skin was a deep bronze and the outfit she work showed her figure off nicely. Her outfit was a deep purple, covering her impressive bust, if barely, but leaving her midriff expose. Her right leg was exposed, showing a strange tattoo that went from her hip and down to her right foot. He could make out white hair and a pair of soft ruby lips on her face but her eyes were blocked by a mask that look like a bird's beak. But what really unnerved him was her scepter in her hand that glowed an eerie pink. It was pure fear that was keeping Andrew's inner pervert from surfacing and taking in the woman's figure.
"Cia." He whispered in fear as he stepped away from the masked Sorceress.
"What's wrong child? Are you afraid?" She taunted him. He took a few steps back but suddenly found himself bound in chain.
"HEY! What the hell you damned psycho!?" He shouted at her. He could tell by her slight tremble he angered her, her hoped he was dreaming, but the sudden slap is what really drove it home and proved he was awake.
"If you were smart, you'd save your words to beg for your life you damned human! Do you know how irritating it is for me to have the blond princess bitch keeping MY Link from me, the little blue haired brat Lana trying to play hero, and YOU!" She shouted, pointing a finger at him, "You completely FUCKING UP MY SIGHT! I am the Guardian of Time! I should be able to see all destinies and yet you!" She continued to shout but stopped and took a deep breath before grinning darkly. She grabbed the boy by his bindings.
"It matters not, for soon you won't be able to bother me anymore. Killing you and taking your ability to keep your destiny hidden, then I'll take the Triforce, Link, Hyrule…The World!" Cia shouted madly.
'This bitch…is fucking crazy.' Andrew thought in fear.
He grunted as he felt her throw him into the TV, actually through it, pulling him into the game.
"No way!" He shouted as Cia followed him in, her dark and yet melodious cackle echoing.
Within the Gate of Souls, Cia held her scepter to the young boy's chest. An insane grin on her inviting lips.
"Now, if you are good through this travel, I'll make your death painless…maybe even pleasurable but trying anything…well…only I'll be the only enjoying anything." She whispered into his ear the last part. Fear overtook the boy as he suddenly shouted.
"Someone help!" He yelled and struggled in his bonds, this didn't sit well with Cia, rather not used to not getting her way. She raised her scepter to strike, either to kill or incapacitate he didn't know. What she didn't expect was a large golden apple made of energy to engulf her and force her away.
"I'm afraid that I won't allow you harm this boy any farther, for his destiny has now been set in motion thanks to you, Dark Sorceress Cia." A strong male voice rang out. Out of the golden apple emerged a man, his appearance, aura, and stature screamed royalty and power. From the back, all Andrew saw was a long white cape, from the front Cia saw the man's appearance. Shaggy white hair that almost covered his eyes, one eye black and other eye red, dressed in silver samurai armor.
"Who are you!? How dare you interrupt me!?" She shouted at the man.
"It's you," Andrew spoke up suddenly, causing both to turn to him, "the one who saved Zawame City and the world from the Inves and Helheim Forest, the one whom won the battles of the Armored Riders and was given the Forbidden Fruit. The Man of the Beginning, Armored Rider Gaim…Kazuraba…Kouta."
The man now identified as Kouta gave a gentle smile and sliced Andrew's bonds with a snap of his finger.
"I see you know your Kamen Rider history my friend." Kouta said, helping the boy up, regardless that they were floating.
"I don't care if you're a freaking god! No one gets in my way and lives!" Cia roared and blasted at the duo.
Kouta waved his hand, stopping her blast. His expression neutral as he stared her down.
"Henshin." He spoke calmly as a white light enveloped him. It faded to reveal in his place stood an armored warrior. White, almost silver armor decorated his form with a long black cape. A real Sengoku Driver on his waist with two lockseeds in it, the Kachidoki and Kiwami Lockseeds. His helmet had a circle with a katana through it on the top and was gold in color. The helmet itself was the same color as the armor, his faceplate covered his mouth and his eyes, the cover over his eyes was multicolored. On the chest of his armor was a picture of man different fruits. In front of Cia stood…Armored Rider Gaim: Kiwami Arms.
The Armored Rider stared down the Sorceress, unaffected by her glare. Now Cia was in a pickle. He unleashed another shockwave at Cia, this one more powerful than the last. She used her magic to block it but it shattered her defense, forcing her back.
'Fuck damn it, it's taking all my power to hold this gate from killing us all, and fighting this guy will now doubt be suicidal without the right information on him or the energy.' She thought, growling in frustration. Her glare darkened a bit, she may have been crazy but she was also smart.
"You were lucky you had help this time boy, but mark my words, the day will come and I will destroy you. You, the only unknown variable in this whole war. Your time will come and by my hands." She spoke in calm voice but with a tone that promised death. Cia disappeared out of the portal, leaving the human and the Armored Rider alone.
"Kouta-san, what now?" Andrew asked the Rider. Behind his helmet, Kouta smirked.
'No one's called me Kouta-san since…Micchi.' Kouta thought fondly of one of his best friends back in Zawame.
"You seem to understand some Japanese, if only a little." Kouta said, dropping his transformation.
"Right now, I don't know where this portal will lead. Cia most likely was controlling the destination." Kouta said seriously.
"Well, maybe you can do the same?" Andrew asked him, hopefully.
"Maybe, but I am unfamiliar with this game or this world, and I don't know how to get you home, the best I can do is place you in the game were you had the game saved." Kouta spoke, there was sadness in his voice.
"But then…how do I…" Andrew spoke, despair taking his voice tone as sadness, he bit back a tear as he heard the sound of a zipper opening.
"It seems I was able to open a Crack into the save file. This will land you in chapter but I don't know when." Kouta said seriously. Andrew didn't have time to say anything as he and Kouta were pulled into the Crack, landing in Faron Woods.
The duo landed in a part of Faron Woods, where they didn't know. They both landed with a grunt and thud.
"Ow." Andrew groaned as held his head.
"Mou (Geez)…Kouta-san, I thought that landing would have been softer." He groaned, seeing stars at the moment.
Kouta shook his head, trying to clear the cobwebs, despite becoming the Man of the Beginning, he still had his silly side.
"Gomen (Sorry)…ow." Kouta groaned as the two got their bearings. The two of them took in the natural feeling of Faron Woods. Kouta was used to living in the forest, having moved all of Helheim's flora and fauna to a barren planet. As the two of the stood up, there heard sounds of fighting and talking. Kouta pulled Andrew down as the sound of footsteps ran past their spot. Andrew peaked up in time to see a beautiful blue-haired woman about to be attack by some ugly monster, only for a man in green to save her.
"That was…Lana…and Link…and a Bublin, and whole hoard of them." Andrew spoke, amazed to actually be INSIDE a game. He took a look at the group of four talking as Lana healed a soldier. He noticed all of them.
Impa, the general of the Hyrulean Army. She had dark skin, a bit darker than Cia's, with crimson eyes and short snow white hair with a single braid handing in front. Her outfit was mostly a light blue with metal guard on her arms and legs with red sandals on her feet. Her weapon was giant blade, Andrew didn't know what kind, which was inside of its sheath. He was amazed at how she was holding the weapon as though it was weightless.
Next to her was another woman, at least he thought so, named Sheik. Her outfit was all blue, the same shade as Impa's, with the symbol of the Sheikah clan on the front. Bandage wrapped around her forearms to her fingers. He could see bandages wrapped around her lower thigh so he assumed that it was all the way down her leg. Brown boot-like sandals went all the way up her leg. He noticed blond hair despite most of her face being mostly covered.
The last woman, whom was healing the soldier, to him was beautiful. She had fair skin, sky blue hair tied in a short pony tail and amazing purple eyes. Her outfit was a blue, midriff bearing tube top with white detached sleeves that had traces of gold in them. Her left arm had a white mantle and pauldron. She wore white tights with a white skirt, a belt with a blue jewel in the middle around her waist and brown boots. In her hand was strange brown book. Her lips were a soft pink as Andrew felt his cheeks turn the same shade. Kouta smirked a little and patted his charge's shoulder as they took in the only male among them.
The male was the second tallest among them, a little shorter than Impa but a little taller than Sheik, not by much mind you. His name is Link, the protagonist of the game series. He wore a green tunic with a brown belt and one could see the gray chainmail underneath. He wore brown gloves than went up his forearm from his hand and armor over the gloves and his shoulder. Gray pants with brown combat boots that went up to his knees. A long blue scarf with Hyrule's symbol decorating its end. The male wore a green cap, the same color as his tunic, but it couldn't hide his blond hair that looks to be from the sun itself and oceanic blue eyes.
The two of them stayed low and listened, this usually wasn't Kouta's style, but neither of them had a clue of this world and it was obvious that there was a battle going on. He was fighting his instincts to go fight, to try and save these people, his instincts as an Armored Rider were screaming at him but he fought it to listen.
With our heroes, with the Bublins out of the way (for now), Lana went back to healing the wounded soldier.
"Are you the one leading these warriors?" Impa asked her, her tone serious and professional.
Lana looked at the leader and nodded. "Yes I am." She spoke, having finished healing the warrior.
Impa nodded, inside she was disappointed that she didn't find Princess Zelda, but continued her questions.
"You can use magic," Impa stated, "where did you learn your craft?"
Lana froze a little bit.
'Oh crap, okay, calm down, you don't have to give the whole truth…yet.' She thought and took a breath.
"Oh, well…I'm a sorceress," she started, her words shaking a little, "My name's Lana by the way. You know Cia, the one who started this whole war? She and I are from the same magical clan."
'Well, it's not a total lie.' Lana thought weakly. Impa raised an eyebrow but let the subject drop…for now.
"Ah, so that explains it. Now what does this 'Cia' want with Hyrule?" Impa asked. Lana let out a breath she didn't know she was holding as her smile turned mischievous.
"Well, if you really want to know I'll tell you…but I have one condition." She grinned.
"And what would that be?" Sheik asked, having been silent for so long. Link nodded in agreement with Sheik, curious as well.
Lana, who had turned away from the heroes, turned back to them.
"Help me defend the forest, if you do that, I might tell you." She winked playfully and sped off. Her lightning fast reflexes and lightning spells began to tear into the Bublins like tissue paper. Everyone's jaws dropped.
"Holy crap." Spoke Link and Andrew at the same time, yes still very far from each other.
Impa turned to Link and Sheik, well mostly Link since she doesn't trust Sheik yet.
"Should we trust her?" Impa asked.
Sheik shrugged her shoulders.
"We don't really have much of a choice. The village is in danger so we can't just ignore that." She spoke, her tone even.
"I'm nervous about one thing though," Link said, "she didn't really seem to want to speak about herself. I'm not saying she's not trustworthy, but I think she's hiding something."
It was weird to see Link so serious but they did agree. They would keep an eye on the blue-haired sorceress for now. As the group scattered, each one going to take on a different group of Bublins. Above then floated Wizzro, all one could see of him was one large red eye that could change into a mouth, the rest of him was covered in a purple cloak.
"Scatter these Hyrulean pests! Exterminate them!" The weird…wizard…thing announced. From their hidden position, Andrew and Kouta were watching the battle. Both were anxious that they were doing nothing. But it was Kouta's idea, he feared the worse should they get involved in a world where they didn't belong. He looked at his charge, whom was glaring at Wizzro. Kouta then noticed the toy Sengoku Drive and toy Orange Lockseed, but they weren't toys anymore.
'So, by coming to this world, the toys became an actual driver and lockseed.' Kouta thought, as he watched the army fight. Kouta suddenly grabbed Andrew and moved him and himself away, keeping themselves hidden high in the trees.
"What was that?" Andrew asked, biting back his fear and anger at Kouta for the sudden change of scenery.
"Oh no! Deku Babas!" Lana shouted as the ground suddenly burst with monstrous blue plants with razor sharp red teeth. The Deku Babas began to spew forth a purple mist.
"Stay out of the purple mist, if you breathe it in you'll die of poisoning!" Lana exclaimed but some of the soldiers didn't get the warning and inhaled, they died within two breaths.
"Kouta-san! This is nuts, we're sitting here like cowards and everyone out there is dying! Come on, we have to do something!" Andrew shouted as the Man of the Beginning.
"You think I like just sitting here! I wanna go help, but the consequences…" Kouta's shouting was interrupted by sudden groaning.
"Was that you?" He asked, only for Andrew to shake his head. They turned around to see more monsters, these were covered in bandages, giving them the look of a mummy and large bandaged swords.
"Oh shit." Andrew cussed as he noticed the heroes and army heading somewhere.
"Everyone's getting tired, let's…wait." She said as she noticed the monsters as well as Andrew and Kouta.
"Gibdos and ReDead Knights! Hey you two, watch out, their scream can paralyze you!" Lana shouted. Kouta grabbed Andrew just in time as one did scream.
"Close one, thank you Kouta-san, and you too miss." Andrew bowed, making sure not to say her name. But Lana knew whom Andrew was, being that she was Cia's good half, they shared a lot, feelings for Link being one…and hatred for the unseeable destiny child being another. Lana glared at Andrew, not that anyone could see. But she chose to be more mature about this. Lana was about to speak before Andrew grabbed her.
"Watch out!" She shouted, moving Lana at the last second as a ReDead's sword nearly decapitated her. Kouta sprang into action, a blast erupted from his hand, causing the ReDead to disintegrate.
"This is what I feared, we were caught Andrew. I…don't know if I will be able to send you home now." Kouta said sadly. Andrew shook his head.
"It's okay…Kouta-san, I think that…this was going to happen sooner or later." Andrew said. Meanwhile, this was a good distraction as the rest of the army made it to the Great Deku Tree. The heroes stood with Kouta and Andrew still.
"No! You stupid Gobdos! Go for the tree! Not these punks!" Wizzro yelled but the monsters ignored him. Kouta looked at Andrew and handed him the Sengoku Driver and Orange Lockseed.
"Kouta-san, these are just toys though." Andrew said, ducking under a Gibdo blade.
"Wrong, it seems like this world changed you toy into a true Sengoku Driver and Orange Lockseed." Kouta spoke as he started to fade.
"Kouta-san?" Andrew asked, kicking a ReDead away that Link sliced down with his sword soon after.
"It seems my time grows short here. I can't tell if I'll return home or if I'll just fade away, but know this Andrew-kun. You have the heart and soul of the Kamen Rider, take up my name and my power. You are my successor…I now name you…Kamen Rider Gaim!" Kouta shouted as he faded totally.
"Kouta-san!" Andrew shouted as the Man of the Beginning faded totally.
A haunting roar brought him out of his stupor. The scream of two Gibdos paralyzed him, only for a large knife to slice through them.
"Hey kid!" Impa shouted, "Either get up and fight or go and hide!" She said harshly. Andrew gulped at the glare, it unnerved him a bit. He stared at the driver in his hand and the lockseed in the other. With Sheik clearing out the last Gibdo, she approached Andrew and placed a hand on his shoulder.
"Please forgive General Impa, she has a lot on her mind. You see, we of the Sheikah clan have served the royal family for generations of generations. She was the personal guardian and best friend of Princess Zelda, whom went missing and she's very worried about her." She said, helping the boy back to the Great Deku Tree.
"Mission accomplished, the forest is free of Gibdos and ReDeads." Impa spoke in her strong tone.
"Great, the forest will be free in no time!" Lana cheered. Everyone was happy about this but Andrew, despite the smile, was still upset. He was missing Kouta-san, the man was trusting him and yet he was letting him down. He was scared and he knew it.
'What kind of Kamen Rider am I? I won't be able to live up to his legacy. I'm weak…and scared.' He thought as he heard the sound of crunching, he looked up to see Link.
"Link?" He asked, the green hero raised an eyebrow since he never introduced himself formally but let it slide.
"Are you okay Andrew? Andrew right?" Link asked, a nod from the boy let him continue. "You're scared aren't you?" The hero continued.
"Deathly, I'm not like you guys. Able to charge head first into battle, great amounts of magic or bravery…I'm scared."
"So am I," Link said with a smile, "I'm scared too. In less than two weeks I went from trainee to a captain, only because Impa believes I'm the reincarnation of the legendary hero. But, I'm scared too, but being scared isn't a weakness, it's a strength. Because the bravest one isn't the one who fears nothing, but the one whom is willing to face what he fears the most. Impa told me that." Link said, patting Andrew's shoulder.
"Yeah," Link's little fairy friend Proxi spoke up, "and if it helps, you have friends. Me and Link, maybe Sheik and possibly Impa…Lana thought…sorry." Andrew chuckled and smiled to them.
"Thank you Link, Proxi, I'm glad to have you two as friends." He smiled but felt a glare and looked over, seeing Lana glaring at him.
"Okay…what did I do to piss her off?" Andrew asked, only for Link to shrug.
Meanwhile, Wizzro was glaring at the Great Deku Tree.
"Enjoy your success you little weasels, my next plan will see that your hopes burn to ashes!" He shouted and with a blast of fire, ignited the Great Deku Tree. The Deku Tree groaned in pain as everyone scrambled out. Andrew gasped as he heard the tree groan in pain.
Lana suddenly shoved him out of the way.
"Look buddy, if you're just going to halfassedly wander aimlessly and just stay there and watch!" She shouted harshly as he tried using some spells to quench the flames. Impa was using her own water style abilities as Sheik was playing the Serenade of Water. Everyone was using their helmets as buckets to carry water back but it was having no effect.
"You'll never put that fire out," Wizzro cackled darkly, "I'll see you all burn to a crisp! Now come my minions, crush them!"
"Oh for fuck's sake!" Link shouted as more monsters began to come after them. He had to stop gathering water to keep everyone safe from the monsters. Andrew noticed this, he had seen the fear and frustration in Link's eyes as he charged in.
'He's scared, but he still fights. I wish I could be that brave.' He thought as he continued to help fight the fire.
"This is getting us nowhere! We have to help the Great Deku Tree!" Lana shouted.
Link sliced through a few of the monster approaching them.
"If anyone has any ideas I'm all ears here!" Link shouted. Andrew growled and kicked a monster that was about to strike Link's unprotected back.
"Thank you." Link nodded as they stood back to back. Despite his bravado, Andrew still didn't transform
'Why am I so scared?' He though, jumping over Link as he slashed some more monsters down. Black blood coated his blade and ground as the monsters dispersed in black particles and purple smoke.
"Everyone! I can sense the Great Fairy here in the forest!" Proxi shouted, getting the heroes attention.
"The Great Fairy? Here?" Link asked, Andrew nodded in agreement.
"That's right! There's a Fairy Fountain in the forest! I know where it is too but I need some cover!" Lana announced.
"Andrew, go with her!" Link told him, throwing him a spare sword and shield. Lana growled a little and glared at Andrew. Andrew gave her a nervous smile that only made her glare darken. She scoffed and waved her hand for him to follow.
'Seriously, what did he do to her?' Link thought in confusion.
As the sorceress and future Rider ran through the forest, Lana's magic was striking down the legions stronger than Andrew's current weaponry. Lana sighed a bit, having to keep an eye on him.
'Great, I know my hatred towards him is because of Cia and I being one and same at one point…but still…I shouldn't be treating him like an enemy…at least not now.' Lana thought as she just couldn't put her hatred aside. She would work with him but their relationship would be purely professional. Andrew grunted as he barely blocked a strike from a Bublin, he smashed it with his shield and sliced its stomach open. He looked at Lana, honestly upset she hated him. For some reason he felt drawn to the blue-haired sorceress but he decided to keep things calm for now, they had to work together at the moment.
"How much farther Lana?" He asked her. Lana growled in frustration as he was digging around.
"Where is it…it has to be around her somewhere." She all but shouted. Andrew growled as he felt the heat from the fire.
"Ahhh shimatta (damn it)!" He cussed as he heard Lana shouted.
"Hey! I found it!" She called over to him. She ran through the doors and into the fountain. Andrew followed her behind.
"Now what?" He asked her as he saw her take her tome out.
"I need to create a magic circle to summon her. You're going to have to pray with me." She said, her tone professional.
"Geez, why do the cute ones have to be so no-nonsense?" He mumbled, but Lana heard him. She looked at him as he raised his hand. A smirk came to her lips, toning down her hate for him, if only a little.
'So he thinks I'm cute huh?' She thought as she raised her hand also.
"Oh Great Fairy, we need you help! We pray to you to quench the flames that threaten this forest and save the Great Deku Tree!" Lana prayed.
A melodious laugh echoed through the chamber as the Great Fairy emerged out of the water. To say she was big was an understatement, she was easily10 ft tall, if not taller. Her figure was comparable to Cia's, if not curvier. Her outfit seemed to only be composed of vines in the style of a bra and leggings. She had ruby lips and eyeshadow, with long pink hair and long pink nails.
"Oh, Miss Lana, it's nice to meet you again. And whom do you have here, your boyfriend?" She chuckled. They both blushed.
"No way! I'd never be with him!" Lana shouted, Andrew cringed and looked away. The Great Fairy sent the boy a gentle look and looked at Lana.
"Relax, I was only teasing. I see what's going on and I can't believe someone would light the forest like that. Truly this Wizzro is someone real callus. But, a little rain must fall into life right?" She grinned and began chuckling and multiple little fairies fluttered from the fountain and into sky. The clouds began to darken and thunder clapped, soon rain began to fall.
"They must have made it." Link grinned.
"About time too, I don't think we would could have saved the forest if we waited any longer." Sheik said, relief in her voice.
"HEY! WHAT IDIOT LET THEM TALK TO THE GREAT FAIRY!?" Wizzro roared in anger. Lana and Andrew smirked a little as they headed for the door.
"Actually, young man, stay, I have something to discuss with you." The Great Fairy said. Lana didn't even turn back as she left. Andrew's head drooped when Lana left. The Great Fairy rested a finger on his shoulder.
"So, you are the one whom the Guardian of Time always feared and hated." She spoke.
"Why me? What have I done to her or Cia…or Lana?" He asked her.
"It's…complicated," she sighed, "you see, the Guardian of Time is an immortal being. She is able to see events of the present but never allowed to interfere. She's also tasked with keeping the Triforce in balance. She can the destiny of all beings from most if not all dimensions, except for those were Gods primarily reign." She spoke.
"That's why Cia didn't know who Kouta-san was, because as the Man of the Beginning, he's a God in his own right." Andrew said.
"That's right, you however are special, and your destiny was also hidden from her. Not by Gods or by some divine power, but by your own willpower. Your destiny is unknown to her." She continued.
"But, that doesn't explain why Cia and Lana hate me." He said curiously.
"Because, Cia and Lana were once the same person." The moment she said that, Andrew's eyes widened. But he didn't know Lana was listening, she gulped from behind the door but couldn't bring herself to stop the Great Fairy as she continued.
"The Guardian of Time, while watching the passage of time and the balance of the Triforce, found two souls she found interesting. The soul of the Hero whom would be reincarnated when the time of Great Evil was awakening, and the soul of the Child of Unseen Destiny, whose fate was unknown to all. For the Hero, she found great admiration and love for him and his soul, unable to see him bound to the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia. For the Child of Unseen Destiny, she felt fear for him, that he could destroy the very balance of the world. However, she felt jealousy for the goddess's reincarnation, a desire to have the Hero as her own, and that fear she had for you began to develop into hatred. An evil voice wormed its way into her heart. It pushed the light out of her heart, changing her into what Cia is now." The fairy spoke sadly.
"And Lana is the light half of her? So, Lana most likely has the same feelings for Link and the same hatred for me that Cia has?" He asked…thought it was more of a statement.
The Great Fairy nodded but a sudden explosion brought their attention away.
"I'll speak more on you at the next Fairy Fountain, but know this Kamen Rider, your heart and soul shine bright like the Hero's, don't let anyone extinguish it." She said and faded back into the fountain. Andrew nodded and left the fountain to see Lana.
"How much did you hear?" He asked her.
"All of it." Lana said quietly.
"And?" He asked her.
"I should be asking you that." She said and took off to where the heroes were battling Wizzro. Andrew followed her, the air was tense as they had to tear through monsters, neither of them had said anything. As they reached the keep where the heroes had Wizzro cornered, Impa has her massive knife as Wizzro's midsection, Link's sword was at the dark wizard's eye, Sheik had a few kunai knives ready to be thrown.
"Tell us where the princess if now!" Impa roared at Wizzro, whon only laughed in her face.
"I'd listen to her, there's nowhere to run." Lana started.
"And nowhere to hide." Link finished.
As they stared down the wizard, he began to cackle evily.
"This is a rather sticky situation isn't it?" He cackled, ignoring the glares and weapons.
'How best to dispose of them?' Wizzro thought darkly before he began laughing again.
"Oh, what if I got it to kill them? Oh that's so naughty I love it!" He laughed and began to sink into the ground. Impa's blade was just a second too late as Wizzro disappeared.
"Damn it! He got away!" Impa growled out.
"But, what is this…it…that Wizzro mentioned." Andrew asked them. They looked up, feeling a weird energy above.
"I think we're about to find out." Link said as a large being dropped in the middle of the keep.
The thing that dropped was spider-like in appearance but had a crab like body. Eight long spider like legs, the front two seemed each have a half of a shield on it. But it's most distinguishing feature was its large red eye, the being called…Gohma.
"Oh shit." Sheik mumbled.
"Whoa! Look at the size of that thing!" Proxi shouted from the inside of Link's cap, having taken refuge underneath in fear of the Gohma.
The beast roared as it swiped its claws at the groups, making everyone scatter. Link grabbed the bow and arrow Lana gave him earlier, only for the beast to use its shield to block it.
"HYAH HA HA! It's dinner time Gohma! Bon Appetit!" He cackled. Andrew growled and grabbed his lockseed, only for time to slow and Wizzro to appear in front of him.
"Let me go Wizzro!" Andrew shouted at him, only for the wizard to cackle and shake his finger in a "no-no-no" style.
"Now now, you should be thanking me boy. Right now I have you in a separate dimension where Gohma can't get you. You don't have to get involved at all, because if you do, you'll die." He said darkly as the boy watched the battle.
He watched Gohma spit up acid at everyone, most made it out of the way but a few unlucky soldiers didn't and die in agony as they melted. Gohma's eye turned blue as it fired an electrically charged beam at everyone, a few more soldiers fell. But Andrew noticed how Gohma seemed paralyzed now. Andrew tried to move as Gohma recovered quick, it swatted and spun at everyone, knocking them all away. Lana herself hit the wall hard, causing a stray log to fall onto her leg, breaking the bone.
"Lana!" Andrew shouted but he went unheard.
"Why do you care for anyone here, why do you think of that blue-haired bitch who'd gladly see Gohma make a snack out of you? You aren't part of this world boy, you have a chance to leave because if you don't…Gohma will make you a snack. Now just stay here and watch as blue over there gets charred." He cackled. Andrew growled at him. Gohma raised its leg with intent on impaling Lana.
"No!" Andrew shouted and somehow broke from Wizzro's field. He threw a large stone at the beast, long enough to distract it. He scooped Lana into his arms despite her protest and moved her away.
"Why did you save me?" Lana asked him seriously.
"You ask me why, I only answer…why not? A Kamen Rider saves all lives, even if the person they save hates them." He smiled and set her down gently.
"You fool! I gave you a chance to just walk away, let this all just go away, why didn't you take it!? What kind of justice are you trying to fight for?" Wizzro shouted.
"Again with why…well here's my why not…even if I walked away, I'd never forgive myself for leaving everyone to their own devices. Even if I can only save one extra life, that's one more family not broken up, one less person who will only be remembered in death, and one more person to enjoy their life! Besides, a Kamen Rider doesn't fight for justice…no…Kamen Riders fight for…human freedom!" He shouted. What he didn't know was his words were inspiring the morale of the troops. Link grinned up to him, Impa gave him a gentle smirk, Sheik nodded and Lana was actually looking at him with a look other than hatred. Wizzro however was giving him a look of hatred.
"You little punk, just who do you think you are anyway!?" He shouted. Andrew chuckled a little as he slapped the Sengoku Driver to his waist. The blank Rider Indicator changed into Gaim's faceplate as he held up the Orange Lockseed.
"You don't know how long I've wanted an excuse to say this but…Torisugari no Kamen Raida da! Oboeteoke! I'm just a passing-through Kamen Rider! Remember that! Henshin!" He shouted and opened the Orange Lockseed.
"Orange!" The Lockseed announced. The sound of a zipper opening was heard, everyone looked up to see a large metallic orange above him. Andrew swung his body to the left, then the right, before twisting his arm up and placing the Lockseed into the driver, his opposite hand closed into a fist and closed the lockseed.
"Lock On!" His Driver announced. The sound of feudal japan shogun horns rang out before it was mixed with some modern techno music. The sound rang out through the forest. He placed his hand on the cutting knife attached to his driver and pressed down. The front of the Lockseed flipped down.
"Soiya! Orange Arms! Hanamichi (In the Spotlight)! On Stage!" The orange descended onto Andrew's head, a blue battle suit which looked similar to a samurai's covered his body. The whole body was blue with gold from his knees to his ankles and from his elbow to his wrist. The orange opened, becoming orange samurai style armor. The helmet was also mostly blue with a silver faceplate and orange over the eyes. A curved gold katana was on top of the helmet as a crest. A short sword, which was supposed to be in the style of a katana, the blade looking like an orange slice was in his left hand. A futuristic katana with a trigger in the middle, above it a spot for a lockseed and a small tab above the trigger in his right. These two weapons: Daidaimaru and Musou Saber. In front of everyone stood: Armored Rider…no…Kamen Rider Gaim!
"Okay you ugly punks: Koko kara wa…ore no suteji da! This is…my stage now!" He shouted, pulling the tab back on the Musou Saber. He fired at Wizzro, who tried to use a low powered spell to block the four energy blasts, he stopped one, the other three barreled into him. Everyone looked in shock at the sudden power of the boy as Wizzro chose to escape.
"How unlucky." He growled and disappeared. Impa glared at the spot Wizzro was last but turned her attention back to the Gohma. Andrew pulled the tab on the Musou Saber again as Gohma spat up acid. For the four globs he fired four shots, evaporating them. He ran over to Lana and lifted her bridal style again, an irritated growl escape her throat at having to be carried like a child. He noticed Gohma's eye turned blue and see energy charge.
"Everyone move! And then strike its eye after its attack!" He shouted. The moment he said that, Gohma unleash its attack, everyone dodged. Andrew threw Lana up, with a shock yell and a surprised curse from her, and pressed on the Cutting Knife of his driver three times.
"Soiya! Orange Sparking!" It shouted. He jumped, caught Lana and aimed a flying kick at Gohma's eye.
"Burai Kick!" Andrew shouted, his foot, energized with the Lockseed's power, struck true. Goham flew backwards, blood leaking from its eye.
"Everyone hurry! While it's down!" Impa shouted as everyone charged. Andrew charged with Lana in his arms, while everyone else charged on foot. Impa's knife impaled its eye, Link's Spin Attack gouged the eye, Sheik's magic burned it, Lana's magic electrocuted it, Andrew threw Lana in the air again and slashed at its eye but saw its eye turn red. It spun as everyone managed to get away, except Andrew whom was in mid swing. Sparks shot off of his armor from the attack and threw him back. He landed and suddenly felt something…or someone…Lana, land on him. From his helmet, he blushed but gulped seeing Lana's glare. Gohma roared and teleported into the middle of the Deku Tree keep. Lana got up, using the wall to stay off of her broken leg.
"We gotta hurry, if we lose the Great Deku Tree then we've lost the forest!" Lana shouted.
"But Lana, you're hurt, and we can't leave you alone." Proxi said from under Link's hat, peeking out from under it.
"Maybe we don't have to." Andrew said as his hand glowed a little. He held another Lockseed. It was a lot bulkier than his Orange Lockseed, all white in color, and a Sakura blossom on the front, a note was also in his hands.
"I left this for you, it can only activate once you transform. After all, a Kamen Rider isn't a Kamen Rider without their Rider Machine. Take good care of Sakura Hurricane, she led me into many battles as she will you.
From,
Kouta-san"
Andrew smiled and opened the Lock Vehicle.
"Sakura Hurricane!" The lock announced, making him blink.
"Weird, didn't say the name in show." He said, making everyone look at him confused. The lock opened and grew in size, becoming a bike. It was mostly white in color with some pink here and there. The symbol LV-01 on the side and the Sakura blossom in the front. Andrew got on it and turned to Lana.
"Need a lift?" He asked her. She grunted a little figured she'd trust him.
"Throw me again and I'll curse you." She threatened, pushing off the wall and onto the bike. "Now what?"
"Now…hold on to me tight." He said as the bike roared to life. Lana yelled in surprise as he took off, heading for Gohma.
"It seems out new ally is full of surprises." Sheik spoke up.
"Agreed." Impa nodded.
"Well…can't stand here all day." Link shouted and charged into battle. He noticed that the Sakura Hurricane had knocked Bublins to the side, some dead.
"Wow!" Proxi shouted as Link ran for the battlefield.
"Slow down!" Lana shouted, he did, right in front of Gohma. Lana's ponytail was now undone, letting her hair fall down her back, but was all frazzled from the wind and her skin white as a ghost. Andrew got off of the bike and charged into battle. Lana was glaring daggers into his back as he maneuvered around Gohma, Lana was using barrier spells to keep everyone safe. Gohma charged up its attack again, Link and Sheik struck the eye this time. Gohma roared and fell back again. Sheik began to strum on her harp, the music conjured up astral harps that help to reverberate the shockwave. Link's Spin Attack struck again, embedding him sword with light magic. Impa took out her Giant Knife, her swing was so powerful it also produced a shockwave. Goham was starting to recover though.
"Let's end this!" Andrew shouted, combining the Musou Saber and Daidaimaru. He unhooked his lockseed. "Lock Off!" And placed it into the dock on the Musou Saber and locked it.
"Lock On! Ichi (1)! Juu (10)! Hyaku (100)! Sen (1000)! Man (10000)!" The weapon announced. Andrew pulled the trigger, swung his blade, covering the Gohma in a large orange. He charged at it, a trail of orange energy pushing him forward.
"Orange Charge!" His lockseed announced as he sliced into the energy orange and Gohma. Orange slices flew away as Gohma roared in pain, black blood sprayed out as an explosion consumed it. Gohman gave a final roar as it died.
Andrew walked back over to the group, canceling his transformation. Impa had a bit of a depressed look in her eyes.
"I had hoped Princess Zelda would be here, but apparently that hope was in vain." She sighed a little. "Where could see be, may the goddess protect her." Impa prayed for the return of her charge.
Lana hobbled over, Sheik helping her to walk over to Impa.
"Don't worry Impa, I'm sure you'll find her." Lana said, trying to cheer her up.
"She couldn't have gone too far, if anything, she's probably watching over the army from afar, praying for everyone as you pray for her." Andrew spoke. His words seemed to have relaxed Impa, if only a little.
"Regardless, we had a deal, we helped you to defend the forest miss Lana. Now you have to tell us what you know about Cia." Impa spoke in a professional tone. Lana nodded but Andrew stopped her.
"Lana, beforehand, I need to ask you something, if that's okay with you guys?" Andrew asked. Lana's eyes narrowed into a glare but nodded.
"Fine, but it better be quick." She said, having been healing her leg since the battle. She still had a small limp since the leg was sore but healed none the less.
"So," Lana said, as they were a good away from everyone, "how much do you plan on telling them?"
"Depends, how much are you?" He asked her. Lana let out a sigh of frustration and turned to him.
"Okay look, you know about me, now tell me about you. It's only fair." She said, the sudden barrier she put up to stop him from leaving left him no choice.
"Fine," he sighed, "you see, I come from a different world, a more modern world if you will."
"Modern?" She asked in confusion.
"Yeah…it's a little tough to explain but, I guess if you could see my memories…" He started only for her to stop him.
"And how…Child of the Unseen Destiny," She said spitefully, "if Cia and I can't see your destiny when out of the world, what makes it different here?"
"Okay what's your problem with me?" He finally snapped. "I've tried to be nice to you and you've been nothing but a total bitch to me!"
"Because, your destiny is an unknown! You could wind up destroying this world! And here you are trying to play Hero! Don't you know the consequences of your actions?!" She shouted.
"Of course I don't and neither do you!" He shouted back. "Because I don't believe in that destiny and fate bullshit! I live my life day by day, because if I worried about the unknown I'd never leave my house. You and Cia only assumed that I could destroy the world, but you two don't know that! So get that pretty blue haired head of your's out of your ass!" He glared at her, but his didn't have the hatred her's did.
Lana grabbed his shirt. "Listen well…if you even think of harming anyone in the army, you won't have to worry about your destiny, because I'll end it personally." She whispered then hit him in the head.
"OW! Oi! What the hell!?" He shouted, rubbing the bump.
"That's for scaring me with that friggin' whatever-the-hell-Sakura Hurricane-is!" She bonked him again, "that's for ruining my hair!" And again! "that's for just up and carrying me you pervert!" And one more! "That's for throwing my in the air like that!" She then…kissed his cheek? "But, that's for saving me." She winked and ran off. He groaned as he went dizzy from her hits.
'Great…another psycho bitch.' He thought in misery, following her. Lana seemed chipper but Andrew was holding his head with a dizzy look in his eyes.
"I don't even want to know." Link said to which the others agreed.
As the groups began to help repair the village from Wizzro's attack, Lana had gathered the heroes together to explain her story.
"Well," she started, she didn't want to tell the truth even though Andrew knew, her eyes darted to him, for once no hatred in her look, she would still avoid most of the truth, "you see, Cia and I are sisters, our mother was the previous Guardian of Time and our father was simple farmer. We lived a nice life, poor but nice. We knew of our lineage as Time Sorceresses so mother did train us. However, mother was immortal but not impervious, a dark wizard had attacked us. Father had died getting us out of the house, but mother soon died defeating the wizard." Lana spoke, her voice sad as a tear fell from her eye, she sniffled a little. Andrew handed her a leaf, since they were in the forest, she dried her tears and continued. "With nowhere to go, Cia and I took over as the Guardians of Time. As Guardians of Time, we had unlimited access to watch the eras unfold, and to keep the Triforce in balance. There was one rule and one rule only; watch but never interfere."
"So, what happened then, what changed?" Link asked her.
"Everything was fine, until we saw two souls one day, and it's upon seeing those souls that she changed." Lana continued. "You see, Cia fell in love with the soul of the Hero, the Hero of Courage whom would be reincarnated for eternity every time dark times were to fall upon Hyrule. And she felt fear for the soul of the Child of Unseen Destiny, a being that was able to hide his or her presence from the Guardians of Time, their actions and inactions unknown, so we had no clue if it was someone we should worry about. Link, Cia and I believe that you are the Hero reincarnated while Andrew is the Child of Unseen Destiny." She said seriously, looking at the two of them.
"So, basically we have a crazed power hungry psycho after my life and Link's…" Andrew paused to choose his words, "sword…so to speak."
The girls rolled their eyes at his crass choice of words.
"She wasn't always like that, it was more that she loved Link and feared you. But, one day some dark voice began to worm its way into her heart. You see, the reincarnation of the Hero is bound to the bearer of the Triforce of Wisdom, the reincarnation of the goddess Hylia and the princess of Hyrule. But Cia didn't see it that way, she only saw the Hero and Child. The darkness corrupted her love for the Hero, turning it into obsession. It took her fear of the Child and changed it into hatred. Cia opened the Gate of Souls, a forbidden type of magic, and started summoning monsters from all eras to try to takeover Hyrule, kill the princess, complete the Triforce, and take Link's heart. I'm guessing she found the Child of Unseen Destiny in you Andrew and as such found a way to bring you here." As Lana finished her explanation, everyone's jaw dropped, Andrew knew the truth already but Lana's lie was…well…convincing.
"So, now what? The fact is Andrew and I have a crazed sorceress after us, no offense to your sister Lana," Link started, Lana shrugged, agreeing, "and the princess is still missing. Not to mention Cia still have a good portion of Hyrule under her thumb."
"So, where is Cia now?" Sheik asked the sorceress.
"The Valley of Seers, at least, that's where she's set up her latest base of operations." Lana spoke seriously.
"So, what are we waiting for?" Andrew asked, standing up, "Let's go take her down and end this madness! Saa minna! Koko kara wa ore-tachi no suteji da!" He shouted and heading for the exit, only to be stopped by a large wooden slab.
"Huh?" He blinked in confusion.
"Take it easy, young Kamen Rider, you have just fought a hard battle and just came to a world unknown to you." A powerful voice rang out.
"Who said that?" Link asked as Proxi flew up.
"Great Deku Tree, have you been listening?" Lana asked.
"It can talk!?" Link shouted.
"I think so Link…that's kind of…weird." Andrew said, backing away from the wooden slab.
"Regardless my friends, you have fought a long and hard battle to defend the forest and everyone that lives here. I must insist and request that you stay the night and regain your strength, for I can tell the battle you have tomorrow will be a difficult one." The great protector of the forest spoke up. There was grandfatherly kindness and wisdom in his voice as he spoke. Everyone went quiet and nodded, as if agreeing with him.
"Good, now my people don't have much be we can offer our hospitality. The Kokiri and Koroks will be happy to give you all a tour while the Deku Scrubs help to clean things up." He spoke, night soon came for the heroes and as did sleep, only Lana and Andrew were awake still. Andrew was leaning against the wall as Lana was sitting on the floor, her leg wrapped to keep the bone straight until the soreness left. The tension was thick until Lana spoke up.
"Why didn't you say anything? You know the truth of me…of Cia…so why didn't you expose me when you had the chance?" She asked, there was curiosity and sadness in her voice.
"Because, I won't expose someone's past without their permission. I know I should have asked the Great Fairy to not mention about your past and I do apologize. Lana, do you think we can start over?" He asked her finally. Lana looked at him and shook her head.
"Right now no, much as Cia has fear and hatred for you, so do I. I can tell you're a good person, but it's something I'll need to get over." She whispered and got up, using the wall to make her way to her room for the night.
"Good night." She said, Andrew nodded, a little heartbroken, and returned to his room for the night.
The Kamen Rider sighed sadly as a tear fell from his eye and looked towards his bunkmate Link. Link was fast asleep already, his fairy friend Proxi using his hair as a bed and blanket. Andrew took the bottom bunk and rolled over, Link peered over and sighed.
'Damn…heartbroken, poor guy.' Link thought sadly for his new friend. Sleep came soon after for the Hero incarnation. Everyone getting ready for the upcoming battles.
Fin.
Okay…longest chapter ever! Next ones should be shorter. All fanfics will be updated before the summer is over…or deleted, depends on how I feel about it.
