Kamen Rider Kyoku Episode 1:
The First Note
*We open in an unfamiliar city. A woman had her back to the viewer, a guitar case lazily strapped around her shoulder as she hopped from a train breathing in the fresh air of what would become her new home*
*She cautiously stepped forward now coming into full view, on the back of her case it read "Property of Risami Numata", she sported a black leather jacket and a stained navy crop top complete with matching black shorts, black leggings and black combat boots. Her luscious brown hair draping over her shoulders though a stray dark blue mark ran down the center giving a sense of rebellion*
Risami: This is the start of a journey, huh?
*Risami adjusted the straps on her shoulders and lugged an overfilled suitcase through the busy streets, coming to a stop just in front of a stripmall music studio, the shining letters reading "Jinya's Classical Training" even with the Sun's rays beating down on the area*
*Risami eyed the building, her eyebrow arching upward as she looked around clearly hoping for a different building before groaning loudly and pushing the door, only to find a dimly lit room, the lights were off indicating no one was around besides Risami herself*
Risami: Hello?! Anyone here?!
*Risami stepped cautiously through the building, dropping her luggage on the ground in front of the door, as she peered around noticing another door, propped open, that lead to an upstairs area*
*The girl shrugged and made her way up, finding a large open area that lead to another room that she immediately recognized as a recording studio*
Risami: Exactly what I was looking for!
*Risami nearly sprinted toward the soundboard, easily turning it on and placing the settings just where she wanted them, before revealing her guitar, an electric one, dark blue and gold in color, with her name written neatly in cursive on the back*
Risami: Let's rock.
*A smirk spread to Risami's face, as she set her gear up and strummed lightly before bringing her right arm skyward and slamming it down into the strings, figuratively shaking the whole building and cutting off the silence that had filled the room previously*
*Risami played furiously for what seemed like hours until a flash of light caught her attention and she froze, seeing a shadowy figure enter the room, but as the lights turned on it was, just a normal man*
*Risami silently sighed in relief before stepping out of the studio jutting an accusatory finger toward him*
Risami: Who are you? How'd you get in here?!
*The man looked at her bewildered, and now that she could see him, she noticed his well built figure, his jet black hair tied into a sloppy man bun, and his clothing not unlike his stance, pristine and clean, as he wore a sports jacket, khaki slacks, and a buttoned shirt open at the top revealing his collarbone*
*The man paused for a moment before taking hold of her arm and slamming her against the wall, pure intensity in the words he spoke*
Jinya: You have a limited amount of time to tell me exactly who you are, and why YOU'RE in my school.
*A flash of realization came onto Risami's face, soon replaced by pain as Jinya pushed her arm further up her back*
Risami: OW! OW! OW! My name is Risami Numata, I came here to learn from you because I heard you were REALLY REALLY good at music!
*Risami blurted out her words, but Jinya understood releasing her and crossing his arms, Risami on the other hand rolled her shoulder, pissed*
Risami: You know, you could've really hurt me with that stunt you just pulled.
Jinya: Be happy I didn't, it's not exactly smart to break into one's place of business.
Risami: I didn't break in, necessarily, the door was open, I thought I might look around for someone.
*Jinya leaned forward slightly to examine Risami face-to-face only to lean back up and sigh*
Jinya: So you came here to learn?
Risami: Yeah, though I'm not so sure anymore
*She rubbed her arm for emphasis, but Jinya remained unphased, slinking back a bit, trying to keep his space in the presence of the fairly cute girl*
Jinya: If you want to learn, might I suggest that you stop playing...trash like what you just did?
*Risami grunted in surprise, keeping her composure, but not well as she stepped forward stomping*
Risami: First you almost break my arm, then you call my work trash?! You're a thin ice!
Jinya: You came here to learn from me, I teach classical, not rigid unruly.
*Risami clenched both fists slowly as if visualizing that she was choking, the calm and almost anger inducing Jinya, at least by her standards*
Risami: How can you just insult me so calmly?!
Jinya: I'm not insulting you necessarily, just your taste in lackluster composition that serves no purpose, not as much as works of true art.
Risami: Oh, but I'm sure your "classical" invokes so much, huh?
*Jinya said nothing, but he did shrug lightly, which somehow made Risami even more pissed than his words*
Risami: Then why don't you show me why it's so much better, huh?!
Jinya: I had planned to do so when I had more students, but..alright.
*Jinya, stepped over to the soundboard kneeling down to softly grasp a violin and the matching bow, before placing it into position where he felt comfortable and closing his eyes, beginning to play, the violin miraculously already tuned*
*As he played, Risami had her arms crossed tightly across her chest, attempting to not show any emotion besides indifference to his obviously tear jerking performance*
*But before, he could truly get into it he paused and silently said something to himself before placing the violin down again*
Risami: Why'd you stop? I-uh mean, I played much longer we can't really compare i-
Jinya: It's a..personal thing. Listen, I will teach you, but your style will have to change dramatically before that happens.
*Before Risami could muster a reply, we were taken out of the scene, into a completely dark room, one spotlight shone brightly on a clear man figure, though he wasn't human, but rather a creature of some sort, a gleaming crown on his head with a red robe around his body, covering what appeared to be purple royal clothing, a broken musical note running around all of his clothing*
*Another spotlight appeared next to the king, a woman, slightly altered from the king's own species but relatively the same, she too wore a crown and a purple, glorious gown a matching broken note*
*Three figures rose from the ground before the two royal figures, looking like Greed, but with a multitude of broken notes between them*
*The king stood from his throne stepping toward the three creatures that bowed down before his presence chanting with drums beating in a rhythm to the eerie feel of the room*
Creatures: King Disukonōto! Queen Chinmoku! King Disukonōto! Queen Chinmoku!
Disukonōto: Silence…
*The chanting stopped immediately as well as the orchestral drums, the king brought his right arm up bringing it forward and generating, a Binzasara, before mutating it into a dinosaur like creature a raptor more specifically, long wooden whips clacking in a rhythm on the ground*
Chinmoku: This is what you wish to send, in order to stop Kyoku?
*Disukonōto turned his body toward his queen, almost as if ready to strike her for speaking out of turn, but his voice remained eerily calm throughout, and faint as if a whisper to not displace the atmosphere*
Disukonōto: Have you any other ideas?
Chinmoku: We've struggled to stop this enemy for 2 years, my love, I refuse to accept any other failures.
Disukonōto: He will not..fail, dearest, and if he does, it only negates the inevitable, our race, The Tonedeafs, will soon bring silence to this planet.
Chinmoku: Have him take a small force of Chūi, there is strength in numbers.
*Disukonōto,growing ever tired of this time wasted, sent the creature off the same three figures from before multiplying, and following it off*
*We return to Jinya and Risami, who have since settled and have moved to the more roomie area of the building, where it was obvious that Jinya lived, however there was suspiciously one other bed*
Risami: I've wanted to ask, who's the other bed for?
Jinya: My..business partner, I guess you could say. Tanner Petre, we met when I was studying abroad and he's been helping me keep the school open.
Risami: Do I get to meet him at any point?
*Jinya shrugged sipping the tea he held in his hand*
Jinya: Up to how long you stay here, I guess?
Risami: Reassuring.
Jinya: I can't say you'd want to meet him, he's not exactly the most modest of people when it comes to girls. IF you ever did meet, it'd probably start with him telling you that you're just his type.
*Risami nodded absentmindedly, her gaze wandering everywhere else but on present company, who she found boring, at the moment*
*To her surprise, Jinya stood suddenly*
Jinya: I have something to take care of very quickly. Don't let any strangers in, please.
*Risami stood as well while Jinya collected the jacket he had discarded earlier*
Risami: Are you going out to run errands? Maybe I could he-.
Jinya: NOT necessary...Not necessary, at the moment, it's a personal thing I'll be back soon.
*Jinya wasted no time before rushing out the door, leaving a confused and suspicious Risami alone in the building*
Risami: Stay behind, yeah right.
*Risami waited just a few more minutes before rushing out before being thrown to the ground by a wave of energy that came from a few blocks away*
Risami: W-what was that?
*Risami stood slowly still a bit shaken but forcing herself to run, another energy pulse pushing her backward before she came to a sliding halt narrowly stopping herself from slamming into Binzasaur, the raptor creature we had seen before*
Risami: Holy..sh-!
*Risami wasn't able to exclaim her slur, as Binzasaur swung its extended arm, the whips that were lodged into them extending forward, the razor sharp wooden pieces flying toward Risami, who leaped out of the way sliding onto her front and slamming her chin onto the ground*
*The whip slammed into the ground letting out another pulsation of energy that now closer sounded like a binzasara but...off*
*Risami placed her hands firmly on the ground jetting off to an alley as she slid onto her right leg, turning quickly by gripping the side corner of a building so that she could watch Binzasaur and the Chūi march*
*However, her eyes widened as she saw Jinya holding a brown guitar pick in hand, a belt like device wrapped around his waist with violin strings holding the piece together, quite firmly*
Risami: He's going to get himself killed, what...is this?
*Jinya had a look of intensity on his face, he brought the pick up as it caught the light and he brought it down strumming the strings that began to glow radiantly making certain pulsatings in the air so that a popping went off around him*
*The strings formed together creating a holder for the pick as he placed it inside and the driver closed off his fist clenching tightly*
Jinya: HENSHIN!
*There was a flash, as musical notes spilled from the belt circling around Jinya in a composition, each note forming together to play a classical piece, exactly the one Jinya had played before, but it was cut off abruptly as the notes engulfed him and out appeared, Kamen Rider Kyoku, clad in a violin brown with a black under suit, the chest piece having a certain pattern on the front as if to mimic a violin, while Kyoku himself held the body of a violin by the back, a shield, and the bow from a well crafted hilt, a sword*
Kyoku Driver: Kamen Rider KYYYYYY-OOOOOOO-KUUUUUU
Kyoku: Now then, let us compose a symphony.
*Risami watched in awe as Kyoku charged forward into the army, fearless as could be beginning a battle of a lifetime*
*Kyoku weaved expertly Chūi, effortlessly slashing one through the back turning it into a holographic note that faded away, he'd turn quickly slamming his shield into another Chūi and dropping to a knee to slash through a third, all in one blurred movement to Risami's eyes*
*Binzasaur swung its arms rhythmically generating more energy pulses as he shot a whip toward Kyoku, who turned at the last second to redirect it with his shield, sparks shooting from the weapon and the whips as they collided*
*Kyoku bounced his shield forward, his foot dragging into the ground as he charged his sword held upward in his right hand, he slid on his knees slashing through Binzasaur before stepping back up to turn*
Kyoku: Such a rhythmic instrument, turned into a creature like you? I can't accept that.
*Kyoku brought his blade toward his shield playing the strings in the same tune as the Kyoku Driver had generated before, his right foot beginning to glow radiantly*
Kyoku Driver: Symphonic Finish..
Kyoku: Couldn't have said it better myself.
*Kyoku leapt into the air, Binzasaur watching him go upward as he shot both whips forward, however as Kyoku extended his right leg forward and began to shoot through the air, they were completely obliterated, exploding due to the power that radiated from Kyoku*
Kyoku: RIDER….KICK!
*With those final words uttered, a musical note clamped around Binzasaur holding him in place as Kyoku soared through the air slamming into and breaking Binzasaur in two, an explosion following as he slid to a halt on the ground*
Kyoku: Symphony...Complete.
*Kyoku turned sheathing his blade into the shield's open top, and removing the guitar pick from his belt, a flurry of musical notes shooting from his suit as it disappeared in a flash of light, just as the one Risami had seen earlier*
Risami: That's..insane. More than insane, it's OUT OF THIS WORLD!
*Risami fell back onto the wall cradling her legs as she tried to get a handle around this, and then she looked up in determination, the scene transitioning back to the school, where Jinya had just entered and found Risami her back turned to him*
Risami: Welcome back, Jinya.
Jinya: Sorry that took so long, I thought it would be a lot faster than it turned out to be.
*Risami turned dramatically in a chair she took from a computer desk, strumming a toy guitar as if it were a cat*
Risami: So when were you going to tell me?
Jinya: Tell you..?
Risami: You can't hide your secrets anymore, Kamen Rider Kyoku.
*Episode End*
*Next time on Kamen Rider Kyoku*
*Jinya was standing before Risami in an undisclosed location, his head lowered unable to meet Risami's gaze*
Jinya: I became Kyoku initially for the greed that I felt in my heart...things have changed since then.
*Another scene, King Disukonōto and Queen Chinmoku were sitting before another monster, its figure impossible to make out*
Disukonōto: Create silence, where the other failed.
*The final scene of Kyoku with Risami behind him, his shield up, ready to take an attack*
Kyoku: I told you, I made a vow, I intend to keep it, even it it cost my own life in the process!
*Look Forward To Kamen Rider Kyoku Episode 2*
*Coming Soon*
