In a very big city known as Cronus, a woman was walking down a street while it was raining heavily. This woman held her umbrella tightly and said," When is this storm gonna pass already? I'm getting sick and tired of holding this umbrella. "

The woman continued walking until she was thrown off her balance by a huge gust of wind. The woman stumbled slightly then she noticed a azure portal open in front her and this was where the wind was coming from. This woman stared at the portal then had her eyes glow azure as she heard," Obey me, human. "

The woman stood up and stayed in place as a monster jumped out of the portal and stood before her. This monster had green skin that had a metal like shine to it and it's eyes were pitch black. The monster had claws at the ends of each of its fingers and it wore a tattered version of a world war two army uniform.

The monster smirked evilly revealing his jagged teeth then he reached for the girl when he heard," SLOW DOWN. "

Suddenly a white blur came from behind the monster and slashed him twice then hit it back into the portal.

" SPEED UP. "

The woman fell down unconscious. The woman's eyes opened slowly and she saw a man silhouette with red eyes standing a few feet away from her. This silhouette looked at the woman then walked away into the shadows.

3 months later.

At a small apartment, a young man with short black hair was brushing his teeth as he button up his shirt. This man wore a black suit jacket and black slacks along with a white button down and white sneakers.

This man walked into his bathroom and spit into the sink before saying," Hey Lucius, you ready? "

Suddenly the man heard a crash and sighed before gargling water and spitting it into the sink. This man then walked downstairs to a basement and looked on the ground and said," You're not ready. "

On the ground was another man that had shoulder length wavy black hair that had white streaks in it. This man wore a black sleeveless shirt and blue jeans. This man is Lucius.

{ Authors note: His name is pronounced Loo-see-us. }

Lucius sat up then said," Note to self, don't do that again. "

" Dude, are you still messing with your inventions? We gotta be at my job in an hour and you know how long it took me to convince Ms. Stevens to give you a chance. ",The man said in an annoyed tone. Lucius looked at the man then said," Oh hey Ron. That thing you set up is today? " as he stood up.

" Yes, it's today and you need to put on some better clothes. ",Ron said as he picked up Lucius. Lucius got to his feet then walked over to a twin bed which had a few random items on it then he pulled out a red hoodie and put it on before saying," Okay I'm good now. "

" Lucius, your shoes. ",Ron said. Lucius looked at his feet then he put his socks on before putting on red high top shoes. Lucius then looked at a table that had an oval shaped device on it that had a lever on the left side.

This oval shaped device was black in color with a white center that had a hole in the middle. This white portion had the numbers one through twelve going around it, like on a lever also had a white handle.

Lucius picked this device up and a pocket watch, that was white with a black line going down the middle, and said," I'm ready to go. "

Ron and Lucius walked upstairs and Ron asked," What is that oval thing? "

" It's an invention of mine. I always have to carry it with me. ",Lucius said.

" Why? ",Ron asked.

" Can't tell you that. ",Lucius said.

" Why not, I'm your brother? ",Ron asked.

" It's because you're my brother that I can't tell you. ",Lucius said. Ron look at Lucius then sighed before saying," You're the weirdest genius I've ever known Lucius. "

" I'm the only genius you've met. ",Lucius said.

In some kind of room with a blue hue over it all, the monster from before was growling in anger and said," Grah! I need to get out of here, I need to feed! "

" Good thing that you're the one going out today, Grak. ",a man in armor said as he walked up to the monster.

This man's armor was primarily black but it had silver lines all over and silver spikes on the shoulders, knees, elbows, and back of the hands. This armor also had a big silver twelve on the back. The helmet was primarily black with a silver visor that extend into a mouth plate, this visor was shaped like a horned lizard of some sort.

Grak nodded then said," Thank you. Thank you Lord Midnight. "

Grak opened a blue portal and walked into it before it closed. Midnight chuckled then said," Let's see if this adversary you spoke of is true. "

" Isn't that a bit cruel Midnight? Sending one of your soldiers out only to have them die? ",another armored man said.

This man's armor was like Midnight's except the black was replaced with navy blue, the silver was now dark yellow and there were no spikes on it. The visor was in the shape of a wolves head and was dark yellow. This armor also had a big six on the back.

" Possibly but it is a necessary sacrifice in order for us to assess the one who has been sending us back here. You should know that Dusk. ",Midnight said as he walked past Dusk. Dusk chuckled then said," Guess I can't fault you. " as he followed Midnight.

Back with Lucius and Ron, they were both inside a office of a corporation known as K inc.

Ron stood beside a Hispanic woman that wore a green t shirt, black skirt, and Green and black shoes. This woman also had black hair that went to half her neck and was in a feathered style.

The woman looked at Ron and asked," Where is this guy you wanted me to talk to? "

" He should be here. I don't know where he went to. ",Ron said in a worried tone. The woman sighed then was surprised when Lucius appeared behind her and Ron and said," Hello. "

" Ah! Who are you? ",The woman said in surprise as she turned to Lucius. Ron sighed then said," What have I told you about appearing out of nowhere?! "

" That I shouldn't do it unless I need to. ",Lucius said.

" At all. I said you shouldn't do it at all. ",Ron said. Lucius nodded then looked at the woman, who was shorter than him by a few inches, then bluntly said," Who's this? "

" This is Ashley Stevens. Aka the woman you're supposed to my and impress! ",Ron said. Ashley looked at Ron and said," Can I get some context as to who this guy is and how you know him? "

" Oh sorry Ms Stevens. This is my little brother, Lucius, he's the guy I told you about. ",Ron said in a frazzled tone. Ashley nodded then said," Well then hello there Lucius. I'm Ashley Stevens, CEO of K incorporated. "

" How old are you? ",Lucius said bluntly. Ashley gave a confused look the said," What? "

" How old are you? I mean you look way too young and pretty to be a CEO. Must be their daughter. ",Lucius said bluntly. Ashley blushed slightly then said," Oh uh, thanks I guess. "

Ron smacked his brother in the back of the head and said," What have I told you Lucius. You don't just spout whatever comes to your mind in conversation. "

" Why not? I mean she didn't mind it, in fact she blushed. ",Lucius said. Ron gained an angry expression then Ashley said," Ron, may I talk to you over here please. "

Ashley and Ron stepped a few feet away from Lucius then Ashley said," What is with your brother? "

" I'm sorry Ms Stevens, Lucius isn't good at being normal. ",Ron said.

" Normal? ",Ashley asked.

" See, my brother has this thing where he is incapable of talking to people in a way where he isn't blunt. ",Ron said.

" So he's socially awkward? ",Ashley said.

" More like socially impudent. ",Ron said.

" What are you guys talking about? ",Lucius said as he appeared beside Ashley. Ashley screamed then said," Is that apart of his thing. "

" Yeah. He also doesn't know how to approach people. ",Ron said. Lucius scratched his head then he looked out the window and saw a blue portal open and Grak step out of it. Lucius gained a confused look then he said," He came back? "

" Who came back? ",Ron asked while looking out the window with Ashley. Ron and Ashley screamed and said," What is that thing? "

" It is my chance to test out the upgrades! ",Lucius said with a happy tone before he ran down the hallway shouting," Fighting spirit engage! "

" Lucius! ",Ron said as he and Ashley chased after Lucius.

In the parking garage, Grak effortlessly punched security guards back then opened his mouth and blue energy came out of the guards and went into his mouth. Grak closed his mouth then said," Oh that was good. "

Grak then turned to the door as Lucius ran out of it, having Ron and Ashley behind him. Grak chuckled but stopped in his place when he heard Lucius say," Ooh, you look way cooler in the light. This reminds of Jojo when Jonathan fought those zombies. "

" What? ",Ashley said.

" He is also a very big Jojo's Bizarre Adventures fanboy. ",Ron said in an unamused tone. Lucius took out the oval shaped device and put it on his waist, making a black belt strap wrap around Lucius's waist.

" You're a weird one so I'm gonna kill you and your friends now. ",Grak said.

" Wait but then we couldn't properly fight. ",Lucius said as he took out the pocket watch and pressed the button on top. Lucius put the watch into the device and the device said," TWELVE O'CLOCK! "

" Uh, Lucius? What does that invention of yours do? ",Ron asked concerned. Lucius looked at his brother and said," It's called the Revoldriver and it helps me fight these guys. "

Lucius grabbed the lever and pulled it out slightly before he revved it twice like a motorcycle handle.

" Henshin. ",Lucius said as he let go of the lever. The pocket watches arms spun around rapidly as the lever slowly went back into the driver. Once the lever was fully in, the hands of the clock stopped on the twelve and the driver said," REVOLVE. "

A white circle with a black stripe going down the middle shot out of the driver then draped over Lucius before disappearing, leaving Lucius in armor.

The armor was all white, save for a big black line running down the middle of it. The undersuit was also the same as the armor. The helmet was the same color as the armor and had three horns on it, two on either side of the head, which were white, and one in the back of the head, which was black. The helmet also had a red visor in the shape of eyes.

" VORTEX: CLOCK FORM! ( Excited guitar solo ), TIME WILL SLOW DOWN! ", the driver said as Lucius posed with his hand over his face.

" You're that guy from that night! ",Grak said.

" Lucius, what in the? ",Ron said in a surprised tone. Ashley looked at Lucius with amazement.

" Actually when I am like this I go by a different name. ",Vortex said as he cracked his knuckles.

Vortex charged at Grak then punched him in the chest before kneeing him in the stomach. Grak stumbled back then punched at Vortex three times. Vortex dodged the punches then kicked Grak in the face and Grak stumbled back.

" Kamen rider vortex. Time is on my side. ",Vortex said before charging at Grak again.

Outside.

Vortex tumbled on the ground then dodged a punch from Grak before parrying another. Vortex ducked another punch then punched Grak in the chin twice. Grak growled then pushed Vortex twice then punched him in the side, sending him flying.

Vortex tumbled on the ground then jumped to his feet before back flipping out of the way of a kicking, that made the ground crack.

Ashley and Ron ran out of the parking garage and watched the fight. Ron ran his hand through his hair then said," Since when could he do all this? Why didn't he tell me he could do this? "

" Shh Ron, I'm trying to watch. ",Ashley said. Ron looked at her confusedly.

Vortex stumbled back then dodged another punch while saying," Okay need my weapon. "

Vortex revved the handle on his driver once and a huge version of clock hands appeared in his hand. Vortex slashed Grak three times then kicked the monster back.

" Ooh this still works like a charm. Still need a name for it though. Hand-ken, no that's too close to drives sword name. ",Vortex said as he looked at his weapon. Grak got up and said," How do you like this? "

A green field of energy came out of Grak and Grak said," How do you like that? "

" Like what? Oh you mean that thing you guys do where you can manipulate time? I made this so that I can freely move through it. ",Vortex said as he slashed Grak twice. Grak threw a punch at Vortex, who blocked it then slashed him in the stomach.

" I however can do this. ",Vortex said as he revved the handle on his driver once making the driver say," SLOW DOWN. "

Grak threw several punches at Vortex, who effortlessly dodged them before slashing Grak three times.

" I can slow down the time around me so that even though you can move, you'll be sluggish. ",Vortex said before slashing Grak across the chest, making the monster fly back and his energy field go down.

" SPEED UP. ",the driver said.

Ashley and Ron continued to stare at the fight but Ron asked," How did they get over there that fast? "

" Shh. ",Ashley said.

" It does have a drawback of a five second time limit and a ten second cool down, however. Anyway, time to test my upgrade. ",Vortex said as he pulled out the lever and revved it three times, making the driver shout," REVOLVE! "

Vortex stabbed his sword in the ground then readied himself as black and white energy surged on his right leg. Grak charged at Vortex, and tried to punch him.

Vortex chuckled and dodged the punch before kicking Grak many times as the driver said," CLOCKWORK FINISH! "

Vortex delivered a final roundhouse kick to Grak's head then said," You ran out of time. "

Grak screamed before exploding.

Vortex stood up straight then said," That was amazing! The finisher finally works! " before he began dancing.

Ron face palmed then said," and he's back go being my brother. "

Ashley ran over to Vortex and said," You're that guy that I saw that night. "

Vortex looked at Ashley and said," I know. "

" I wanna hire you right now. With your belt and my company, we can make a army to fight those monsters. ",Ashley said. Ron stopped beside Ashley and said," Wait you're giving him a job. "

Ashley nodded then Ron said," Oh thank you ms Stevens. "

" No. ",Vortex said.

Ashley and Ron gained confused looks then said," What? "

" I don't want the job. ",Vortex bluntly said. Ron chuckled then angrily said," Bro, why don't you take the job? "

" Because if I work for someone then I wouldn't be able to be a hero. Plus no one else gets driver. So I decline, now goodbye. ",Vortex said while changing back into Lucius. Lucius then turned on his heel and walked away from the building. Ashley and Ron stared at Lucius as he walked away with confusion.
