Sekirei Blackthorned


Pilot/Episode 0: Enter the Wild Warper Card, Ryker!


A/N : This is going to be a bit of an A/U due to the OC's influence before and during the start of "Sekirei". I will not spoil all the changes except for two: Junichi Tanigawa isn't getting a Sekirei, and things are going to get a lot darker. (Edit Note: 4/9/2018, hanging around the Sekirei discord channel and listening to some words of wisdom, I decided to quickly redo this chapter somewhat.)


I knew the truth behind my clan. Unlike some of my family members, I knew I was a reality warper (and an alien hybrid) due to me having the gall to follow my parents without them knowing across the galaxy. I saw so much so beauty in the multiverse beyond the real world. I really did not have much even doing for me in the real world after I graduated high school. Seeing my parents go all out in battle and be the heroes people believe only existed in fiction had struck a chord in me. So, while Ryker ran off for college, I trained to prepare for my journey in secret. I was a big fan of anime and manga as well, and I already had in mind what universe I wanted to go to. The world of Sekirei was my first choice because I was a complete dork for the series. I also had it mind for Minaka. Seeing that guy virtually got exactly what he wanted in the canon ending make my blood boil and I wanted nothing more than to make one more universe where he will not get it. I watched the anime and fell for it's charm. I did read the manga and was a bit disappointed with the ending and a few other things. I formed a plan on how I would survive, get a Sekirei out of this, and utterly screw over Minaka's plan. So when Ryker ending up leaving for another world to my surprise, I was given the ok by Mother and Father to go out into the world.

My name is Ryder Vega Blackthorn, and this was the start of my saga with Sekirei.

I made sure I had my duffel bag containing my passport, clothes, books, laptop, and game consoles. I had the tablet my parents give me clipped to my belt and unlike some of the others I knew how to efficiently use the BlackTab due to sneaking around my parents. As for weapons, I decided on two weapons to have on me. Apparently, my father's race, he's still trying to remember and research it, can resist electricity, so I got my hands on the Black Power shock gloves. For a sword, I decided for to go for a medium length katana which I named "Dragon Soul" that I kept on my back. I even used my tablet to gather parts to create a SekireiDex, basically a Pokédex for Sekirei to use as my way of gathering infromation. I was finally ready and I was prepared to screw over Minaka, the king of trolling and dickery.

To be symbolic, I tore open the portal to the world of Sekirei at my parent's backyard where birds would fly past the family home. I was ready to begin my adventure!

"I'll make sure those birds can fly free of Minaka's tyranny." I thought as I entered the portal.


(Shinto Teito, 2020, a week before Minato's plot began, late at night)

I arrived within the sewers of Shinto Teito and I immediately scrambled for the manhole cover. Punching it open, I climbed out. Now I know MBI would be doing the takeover, so I checked the tablet for information. Thankfully, I had a week before that started and to find a Sekirei. I had decided I would recurit #84, Yashima. Considering her Ashikabi is a character most people hated, included myself, I could not bring myself to be guilty for shattering that canon moments. It's what we, reality warpers, do at times. So ,thanks to the SekireiDex, I was able to at least get a general area of where she could be. Zipping from building and building, I try to move fast enough not to be seen. It takes a while, but I find Yashima and…Junichi. He cornered the hammer-wielding Sekirei in alley with a switchblade in hand.

"Now, you're all…huh." Junichi said before I jumped down in front of him and Yashima. "Who the hell are you?"

"A guy who won't let put your hands on this girl." I remarked, "And I dare you to stop me!"

I was about 5'11'' in height giving me a bit of an advantage over him. Junichi swung his switchblade, but I caught his arm with my left hand. Using my right hand, I slugged him in his jaw before kneeing him to knock the wind out of him. I turned to the frightened young lady dropping Junichi and come up to her.

"Are you all right? He didn't harm you, didn't he?" I say to her.

She shook her head no still nervous, and now was my chance. I come close and gently ease her into the kiss. The winging process was always a treat to watch but see it up close was beautiful and a bit blinding. Her blue wings shone and illuminated the darkness of the alley and Junichi was yammering on about his eyes.

"By the hammer of my pledge, my Ashikabi's enemies shall be shattered!" She said to me.

The glow faded and I pulled away gently smiling at her.

"I hope you don't mind having me for an Ashikabi." I said a bit shy. "I'm quite different from your average guy."

I can't believe I just had my first kiss (Yeah, it's my first! Don't make fun of me for it), and I was one to start it up.

"No. You did save me from him, I almost would have been his Sekirei." She said still shaking.

"Good, let's you out of here, but first…" I said before I looked down Junichi.

I picked him up by his collar and slammed him against the wall. Taking a page from my mother, I gave him a glare that threatened pain and suffering if you did not listen. I told him if I ever saw him mistreat a woman again, I'd castrate him. I even showed a glint of my katana and he faints. I immediately get Yashima and I off the streets and into a nearly motel somewhere in the city. I had to keep me and Yashima out of sight from any other Ashikabi. Here I was, alone with a girl in a motel room….and I just met her. Since she really has no effect on the plot (especially now that I stepped in), I do tell her a little of my plan. I was rather vague with that, but the goal was clear. Take down Minaka.

"That's some plan, and I want to help you do it!" She said filled with determination. "I'll do anything!"

The fact she'd said she would do anything almost gave me a nosebleed. She soon slipped to sleep some time later, leaving me up. I look down at her sleeping form, and, now that I am an Ashikabi, I am apart of Minaka's sick game. If I was going to walk out with my Sekirei (and Minato's Sekirei) intact, I would need to update my plan. I pulled out my laptop, switched over to this universe's internet, and started hacking as much data out of MBI as I possibly could. I crack codes, blocked out signals, and managed to make a hole in their firewall. Quickly, I snag some files mostly on Takehito's death, when I do plan to deck Minaka and Karasuba especially for that, and some information on that clown Higa, the other asshole on my shit list. Swiftly, I switched back to my own (real-world) internet to cover my tracks. With Yashima with me, the first step to my plan has been completed. However, I worry deeply about her fears because despite being determined to help me, I could hear the fear in her voice. She might think I'm insane for having a plan like this…

I slowly slip into slumber holding her sleeping body, with a new will to protect her. I was not going to let anything happen to her, and that was a promise I intended to keep.


Minaka and Takami were both enjoying the night sky over Shinto Teito as they stood at the rooftop of MBI Headquarters. Minaka had a twisted grin on his face, and Takami hatefully watched him.

"Soon, the Sekirei Plan will be full swing, Takami." He said looking over the city, "I can't wait for the carnage of the player who dance in this game."

"Minaka, why don't you go fuck yourself?" Takami coldly said to him.

"Why would I when I have yo…." Minaka said smugly before Takami socked him in the jaw.

She stormed off back into the building leaving Minaka up on his throne to boast. It was days and nights like this, she cursed the day she helped him make the organization or make the Sekirei into discount Pokémon. She entered her office to unwind for another night. She sunk into her office chair and open a compartment for hidden liquor. She pulled a bottle of sake preparing to pour out a glass. However, a few seconds of thought led her to throw the glass at the framed photo at Minaka on her wall for the fiftieth time. She greedily downed half the bottle and had her head down the desk. She looked at an earlier photo of her and Minaka as college student before they made their discovery about the Sekirei. A tear comes down her face as she gazed at it.

Minaka was always a bit of an ass, but he had a bit of gold in his heart. That was what draw Takami in to him in the first place. She missed that good in him, and all that was left was the bastard incarnate. Then she looked over at the photo at her children. She was always afraid at what Minaka could have done to Minato and Yukari, no terrified that they could have been a mini Minaka. She was bound. Bound to be a part of MBI. Bound to have a hand in the Sekirei Plan. Bound to be responsible for the deaths of soldiers or any poor soul crushed by MBI. Bound to Minaka and his sickening laughter. She couldn't take it the thought of it anymore so she downed the rest of bottle in her frustration. She started to fell slowly lightheaded and a smile crept on her face.

"Finally…the laughter went away." She slurred.

She soon passed out on her desk finally at peace…for the moment. The bottle rolled off the table and right into the garbage. She was at peace just like the last fifty times she passed some drunk. At least she couldn't hear the bastard in her drunken slumber. However, she didn't notice her computer was mysteriously getting its files copied.


With Minaka's plan about to be unfolded, will Ryder succeed or will time workaround him? What about Minato? Will Takami get over her alcoholism? What Sekirei will Ryder obtain? Find out next time on Sekirei : Blackthorned?

(A/N : 4/9/18 – Consider this a complete retool of the pilot episode. Something that was overdue and needed to happen.)
