Disclaimer: I don't own Kamen Rider, Blade, Ryuki, Dragon Knight or otherwise.
Synopsis: With the fall of Xaviax, the Ventara Riders enjoy a peaceful retirement. However, new monsters, dubbed "The Immortals," come through the advent void from yet another dimension. The Ventara Riders try to fight the Immortals, but fall into a coma-like state. Desperate, Eubulon created new cards, the Rouse Cards. Now, the new Ace Riders must take up arms against the villainous Immortals. However, can these new heroes succeed when one of their own may be an Immortal?
Prologue
End of an Era
It was a dark night. The Earth city stood in the rain, its citizens unaware of events taking place in their streets. The world remained unaware of the fate awaiting it.
In the rain, twelve armored figures stood before two monstrous creatures. Each warrior had armor themed after a different animal. They faced two creatures looking like humanoid beetles. One was a Rhinoceros Beetle, while the other was a Stag Beetle.
The twelve Riders all ran at the monsters. Swords and armored gauntlets all clashed against the two monsters. The vinyl-like skin of the monsters sparked with each weapon strike. However, the monsters were relatively unaffected by the attacks. They struck back at their assailants, driving them back.
"Everyone! Move!!" Called out one warrior as he pulled a card from his belt. He placed the card into the slot on his gun.
FINAL VENT
A large mechanical Minotaur appeared before the rider, who thrust his gun into its back. The other warriors leaped back as the machine monster fired lasers and missiles at the two Beetles. The monsters were subsumed in flame and smoke. For a brief moment, it seemed as though the fight was over.
Then the Stag leaped from the flames and tackled down the Minotaur. Its master cried out in surprise before being assaulted by the Rhinoceros Beetle. The Riders rejoined the battle, hoping to gain some sort of edge.
At one point, the Rhinoceros Beetle pinned down a warrior with Dragon themed armor. It was about ready to strike him when…
FINAL VENT
A ball of Black Fire flew down from the sky and plowed into the monster, knocking it back in a burst of black flame. As the Dragon warrior was helped up by a Bat themed and a Swan themed warrior, they saw that the black flames give way to reveal a thirteenth warrior. This warrior wore a black version of the Dragon's armor.
"Onyx?" asked the Bat warrior. "Who's…?"
"Long time, no see Len," replied the black warrior.
"Adam?" asked the Dragon, recognizing the voice. "What are you doing here?"
"Eubulon called me in," replied Onyx. "He gave me these."
Onyx pulled out two cards. They had red backs and white fronts. The image on the front was of crisscrossing chains.
"The new cards!" said the Swan Rider.
"But how do we weaken them enough to catch them?" asked Dragon. "Even Torque's Final Vent just bounced off these guys. It took everything we had to catch the first few, but these two are in a class all their own."
"He had an answer for that too," Onyx replied, pulling a familiar card from his belt. It had a picture of sparking electricity and the words "Link Vent" printed on it.
"Link Vent?!" said the Dragon.
The Bat Rider shook his head. "Eubulon said that if we ever tried to use the Link Vent again…"
"I know," said Onyx. "But we have to risk it, or these guys will just tear up this world."
"What about Sarah?" asked the Swan.
Onyx looked down sullenly. "This is for Sarah, and our kids."
The Bat warrior patted Onyx's shoulder reassuringly. "Kit and I will go Survive. That might lessen the effect."
The other Riders nodded in agreement.
They all turned to the monsters, which were being held off by the other Riders.
"Everyone!" called out the Bat. "Link Vent!"
The others nodded and broke free of the monsters. The Bat and Dragon warriors both pulled out special cards from their decks.
SURVIVE MODE
They both transformed into enhanced versions of their armors as they stood beside their fellow riders. Each Rider pulled the link vent from their deck, then loaded it into their card reader.
LINK VENT
A massive bolt of energy shot down from the sky. The bolt hit the hands of each rider, which they then directed at the two monsters. Both Beetles reeled under the intense power that was the Link Vent. The round buckles on their waists opened as each collapsed under the blast. Inside the Rhinoceros' belt was a symbol matching the Ace-of-Spades. Its counterpart had the Ace-of-Diamonds.
After the energy faded, each Rider collapsed. Before falling, Onyx, with the last of his strength, threw the cards at the two monsters. The cards stuck in the monsters' flesh. In a wave of green light, both monsters were sucked into the cards. The image of chains vanished as each was sealed. On the Rhinoceros card appeared the picture of a rhinoceros beetle under a red Spades symbol. Text appeared saying "Change Beetle." The other had a picture of a stag beetle under a red Diamond symbol, with the words "Change Stag."
"Forgive… me… Sarah," he said before collapsing.
The heroes laid on the ground, unmoving. They had fought hard for victory. They might have thought it worthy victory, had they not known that there were more monsters coming.
What they didn't know was that this one battle solidified the hope for the future.
AN.
I've had this story in my head for a while. Hopefully I will have the first chapter with Saber in a short time. I really hope that Adness does something like this in the future.
