Pikatwig: A story I previewed a long… long… long while back, is finally underway.
KKD: Yea, some of this was gonna appear in Den-O Trigger, but since we lost chapter 5, we haven't gotten back to it, so regardless, let's see if we can be able to fare any better here.
Pikatwig: We will… hopefully.
KKD: Yea… in any case, we can hopefully get to see more of your OC Den-O Rider in action.
Pikatwig: Disclaimers please aibou.
DISCLAIMERS: As with most stories, neither KKD nor Pikatwig own anything in this except for the original concepts within. The rest, including Kamen Rider, belong to Toei, Bandai, Shotaro Ishinomori, etc.
"Onee-chan… are we there yet?" a young girl's voice asked, as two figures (both female) were walking down the street.
"I told you, we're almost to the apartment," the older girl responded, soon coming across a seemingly simple building, that had around 18 floors to it, and the two girls walked up to the 14th floor and looked for their apartment. "Let's see… our apartment is number 1287 And judging by how the rooms are set up, that means, it'll be on our right… about… the eleventh door down."
They found it, and then the older girl opened the door, finding their apartment to be like a small hotel room with a couple beds, a TV set, a small kitchen, a connecting bathroom and closet, and finally a small balcony to look over the city.
"Onee-chan… do you like Japan?" the young girl asked.
"Yea… it's a nice place to live… America was nice too, but it just doesn't have the same vibe as Japan does," the older girl answered, looking at the scenery with a smile.
The young girl yawned, as she looked over at one of the beds.
"I'll get our things, don't worry," the older girl smiled, saying the last part in English before going out to get their suitcases and stuff.
Unknown to anyone in this peaceful city, there was a particular bullet train traveling through what appeared to be a desert of sorts. This bullet train, being white and black with the front having a familiar red peach design on the front of the engine, followed a track that seemed to unfold and appear in front of the train while folding up and disappearing behind it.
Inside the diner car of this train, an old looking male was sitting down with a plate of fried rice that had a flag in the center of it. He was eating this when a young woman with a white top, black skirt stockings and shoes approached him.
"I see you're back to normal Hana-chan," the male responded with a smile.
"As much as I'm glad to have returned to normal, I don't understand why you called for me again, Owner-san," the girl, Hana, replied to the male.
"...I have my reasons, but I'll tell you more after I finish my rice," Owner informed. Hana just sighed and sat down in a chair, looking around for a minute, and sighing. Suddenly, the train began to speed up a bit, with a red oni-figure, a blue humanoid turtle, and a sleeping golden figure with an axe/bear motif being throw out of their seats.
"What the heck is going on here?!" the Red Oni shouted.
"Wait… where's Ryuuta?" Hana asked.
"I dunno," the Oni responded.
"I think he mentioned stars earlier, and went up to the front to look at them," a waitress informed, barely staying up herself.
Just as she said this, Hana and the trio were about to rush up to the front, when Hana looked out and saw a sight that looked REALLY familar…
Jikan no nami wo tsukamaete *DenLiner sped along at a quick pace across a bridge, with dates on a calendar flying by*
Ima sugu ni yukou yakusoku no basho *We then see a hand pick up a train pass as he walked at a park, soon joined by a girl.*
Genkai mugen iza tobikome Climax Jump! *with a split screen, we see Kamen Rider Den-O board Denbird in DenLiner as well as a new Rider boards her own time train and Rider Machine*
Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?! Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?! *Both trains zoom off at a fast pace*
Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?! Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?! *the flashes onto the screen in the style of the original show.*
Kanaetai yume ga aru nara *The male sits on the train, as if waiting for something*
Shinjinakucha negatta hibi wo *In the other train, the female sat in a chair with a pass in her hand, a smile on her face*
Catch the wave mayoisou na toki kanarazu *The two walk alongside each-other with what looked like a younger version of the male hiding behind a building watching them.*
Omoi no tsuyosa ga michibiku *From nearby, Hana watched as well, the three figures and a dragon-like one in purple were goofing around as on the other train the female was on, a cyan polar bear-themed female figure, a jade dolphin, an orange cat, and a crimson hawk hanging out in a train.*
Kimi ga nozomu mirai sude ni In your hands *The male and female then held hands, both smiling at each-other before transforming*
Hajimari wa itsumo totsuzen *A green Rider soon joined the other two as they began attacking a bunch of kaijin*
Unmei wo tsurete yuku Time trippin' ride *All three did a Rider kick manuever as images of the other forms of the Riders were seen for a split second.*
Dare yori takaku (Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?!) *At a cafe, we see four clones of both the male and female, each in a different attire and style that matched their respective partners alongside the originals*
Kinou yori takaku (Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?!) *Both held out their passes with a smile, and from nearby, the male from earlier smiled at them both.*
Climax Jump! *Then, all the Riders boarded their bikes before launching on them into the air.*
Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?! Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?! *The four figures seen with Hana alongside the female polar bear were seen dancing in various styles*
Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?! Ii jan! Ii jan! Sugee jan?! *The two who are partners with them were dancing with a smile, and then stopped as the time trains drove off.*
"Onee-chan… good morning," the young girl smiled, this girl's dirty blonde hair currently in a messy bed-head style as she opened her green eyes revealing her in a silver shirt and pink pajama pants.
"Morning, Amy-chan," the older girl smiled, currently making breakfast.
"What's for breakfast?"
"Pancakes," the older girl smiled, this girl having brown hair, brown eyes, and was currently wearing a gray jacket with a violet shirt, blue shorts, and was currently barefoot with yellow nails.
"Yay!" Amy smiled, taking a seat at the table, and her sister put the pancakes on the table for her. "Wow, they look really yummy."
"Thanks. I put your favorite inside them, blueberry," the older girl smiled.
"Wow! Thanks, Luka-nee-chan!" Amy thanked, hugging her older sister, Luka.
"You're welcome," Luka smiled, as her sister began to eat. Luka took a minute to look at some of their belongings, and since they would be living in the apartment for a long while, they might as well try and make it comfy.
And so, after she ate her breakfast, Luka got Amy dressed and set for the day before Luka simply organize the place while Amy was playing with some toy trains.
From about a mile from the apartment, was a library of sorts, this library was actually part cafe, too, set up with a bunch of star stickers, and other star-related items, including a telescope as a centerpiece.
Working at a register area of sorts was a girl with shoulder-length brown hair, brown eyes, and was currently in a white shirt, black skirt, and a white apron on top. Then in walked a boy similar to the girl in question, his hair almost black, eyes brown, and he was currently wearing a red t-shirt, a gray hoodie, blue jeans, and a pair of orange converse shoes.
"Ryo-chan… I have a favor," the girl spoke, before she took out some papers, and on all of them read "Help Wanted" in Japanese, "Could you put these up and hand them out? This place needs more employees to keep up with the customers."
"Hai, Nee-san," the boy, Ryotaro, nodded.
He handed them out for a minute, but saw that nobody wanted to apply. Ryotaro then got an idea, took his jacket and walked to the door. And so, he began to try and walk around town to put up the fliers, until he slipped on some kind of puddle, causing the flyers to fall out of his hands and scatter.
"Oh no!" Ryotaro gasped, suddenly panicking before they flew out into the breeze.
"RYUTA!" Hana and the other three figures snapped at a purple dragon creature with headphones, white gloves, and a trenchcoat.
"You should've know better than to just randomly drive DenLiner without permission!" Hana scolded.
"I thought I saw something moving…" the dragon figure responded in defense, and he was about to continue to talk, when he saw a black case by Owner. He approached it, and saw a label with the letters "TQG" on it, but the Owner reached and moved it away.
"Hands off, Ryutaros. This is meant for some people on another line," Owner scolded.
"Aw…" he sighed.
"You've been a bad boy! Bad boy!" the red oni scolded.
"GOMEN!"
Hana then just sighed annoyed, and sat down. It wasn't long before someone walked in, this guy looking very similar to Ryotaro, except he was currently wearing a navy blue shirt, and a black jacket, jeans, and shoes. Not seeming to care, he soon sat down in a booth near Hana.
"It's been a while, hasn't it Kotaro?" Hana smiled.
"Indeed," Kotaro nodded.
"Hey Kotaro… I'm curious… do you remember who your grandma is?" Hana asked.
"Hmm… well… she's a nice and lovely person… she may have been a little bit greedy, but she's always been nice and kept grandpa in check," Kotaro answered.
"Heh, sounds great…" Hana smiled.
"But an interesting thing about her… she always had the best of luck, which always helped balance out grandpa and his bad luck."
"And yet you still got the bad luck," the red oni joked, having listened in on what they were talking about.
"Shut up! ...At least Teddy prevents what happens when it comes to my luck."
"Momotaros… don't you have some of Ryotaro's bad luck?" Hana joked, causing some others to snicker.
"Urusei!" Momotaros snapped.
"Onee-chan… how is it that you're so lucky?" Amy asked.
"Dunno… but I've always been the luckiest person I know," Luka shrugged.
"I wish I had some of that luck…" Amy admitted, as they were now outside in the city and both relaxing.
They were just hanging out under a tree in the park outside the city, with Amy simply looking up at the clouds.
"So Amy? How do you like Japan so far?" Luka asked.
"It's okay… I do miss mom and dad… but the scenery looks nice," Amy admitted.
"And the culture here is interesting," Luka added, smiling as she looked at the city.
Amy smiled, and then sat by her sister.
"But it won't all be fun and games… I gotta find a job to pay for the apartment," Luka sighed when suddenly, a bunch of "Help Wanted" flyers flew by the two.
"And your luck kicked, didn't it?"
"I guess it did," Luka smiled.
After gathering what flyers he could, Ryotaro was now riding his bike around town for a little bit. He was just enjoying the scenery of the city that he worked hard to protect about seven years ago during his time as Kamen Rider Den-O.
"Wonder how they're doing… Momotaros-tachi…" Ryotaro wondered to himself when in front of him, something fell, forming a ramp, and with him unable to stop, Ryotaro ended up launching himself off this ramp, he tried to regain control, but was unable to and he ended up bumping right into Luka, sending them both flying down a nearby hill.
"HEY! Watch where you're going!" Luka snapped.
"Gomen nasai… I lost control…" Ryotaro apologized.
"Ugh… it's okay, I guess," Luka groaned, dusting herself off.
"You okay?" Ryotaro inquired.
"Yea… I just didn't see you coming was all," Luka sighed.
"Sorry… I have the worst luck…"
"I see… hey, do you know where I could find the Milk Dipper cafe?" Luka asked.
"Yea… I live there… boku wa Nogami Ryotaro," Ryotaro introduced himself.
"Ryotaro, huh? ...Nice name. Atashi wa Minato Luka."
Back at the cafe, Airi was behind the counter preparing some coffee when a couple guys came up to her. One of them looked more like he was superstitious and had baggier clothes on along with a pair of glasses and socks under his sandals. The other looked more professional as he wore a business suit and a tie.
"Airi-san. I heard you were looking for new employees, and I'd like to apply," the guy in baggy clothes responded, holding a flyer.
"Don't be silly, Miura-kun. There's no way you'll be hired," the other guy responded, set to bonk the first, Miura, on the head.
"Why don't you not be silly for once Ozaki-kun," Miura snapped back.
Airi paid them no mind as Ryotaro walked in with Luka.
"Tadaima!" Ryotaro called out.
"Okairi," Airi smiled before seeing Luka.
"Wow… this place is beautiful…" Luka smiled.
"Ara? Ryo-chan? Who's this?" Airi asked Ryotaro.
"Oh… this is Luka… I bumped into her earlier… and she would like to apply here…" Ryotaro informed.
"That's right," Luka nodded.
"Oh, that's great. Nice to meet you," Airi smiled.
"Nice to meet you, too," Luka smiled as she admired the decorations of the place…
"It's nice to make your acquaintance Luka-chan," Ozaki smiled, walking over to her, and wrapping his arm around her shoulder, "So… would you like to do something later?"
"Hands off, okay?" Luka responded, shrugging Ozaki off before Miura walked over to her.
"Wow… I can tell, you're very lucky," Miura noted, and to prove this, Luka noticed something was about to fall off of a shelf, and she caught it before it could even fall, "Case in point."
"Wow… Luka-chan, I'd think you will fit in great here," Airi smiled before turning to Miura and Ozaki and whispering to them, "I got a feeling she'll end up hooking up with Ryo-chan at one point."
"Why?" Ozaki inquired.
"Oh… I get it. You're thinking something like a magnet, and Ryotaro's luck will sort of attract Luka's luck, in a way?" Mizura added.
"Something like that," Airi smiled.
Some time later, Ryotaro and Luka were both working to serve the customers, both of them serving as a waiter and waitress of sorts.
"Ryotaro… you're pretty cool," Luka admitted.
"A-Arigatou," Ryotaro smiled, as he unknowingly let something fall from his back pocket, when a sort of ringtone went off.
"Ara? Is that your phone, Ryotaro?" Luka asked.
"You could say that…" he responded, as he took out a red flip cell phone with an odd bulky black part where the screen would be, and a series of buttons that were put on sideways compared to most phones, the top row being red, second blue, third yellow, and the bottom row purple with the three buttons closest to the screen being white.
"Moshi-mosh?" he inquired, before smiling happily at the voice of the caller.
-Ryotaro. I'm gonna be in town soon. Wait for me by the train station, okay?- a familiar female voice answered.
"Hai. I'll see you later, Hana-san," Ryotaro nodded, as he headed out the door, with Luka noticing what fell out of his pocket, it being a black pass that had an odd symbol on both sides, which looked like a circle with a tilted T inside of it.
She picked it up, and saw that Ryotaro was leaving, so she ran to try and keep up with him, but unknown to her, a yellow sphere of sorts tailed her for a minute, before entering her, with some sand falling from Luka after that.
"Station Master… why have you called us here?" Owner asked, as DenLiner was now parked in the station, the crew of DenLiner meeting with someone who looked almost exactly like the Owner, but currently wearing an all white outfit.
"I wish I could provide good news, my friends, but most of it is bad. A new breed of Imagin have appeared…" the Station Master informed.
"New Imagin?" Hana gasped.
"Remember Hana, Imagin are people who are from a future that has been destroyed, and do what they can to make sure their future is restored," Owner reminded.
"Correct. They are called… the Neo-Imagin… they are stronger then anything you have ever battled… and while we need Nogami Ryotaro once more… we need a new power…" the Station Master informed, walking over to unveil something…
Pikatwig: And end chapter.
KKD: That was pretty good, despite the lack of any actual henshin.
Pikatwig: It's building up aibou. Give it time… give it time. Anyway, thoughts on the chapter?
KKD: It was nice. I really like you introducing Luka here, too.
Pikatwig: Yea, she's an interesting character. And she also has some pretty dang good luck, unlike Ryotaro.
KKD: I'll say. Which brings in some very good contrasts.
Pikatwig: And a bit of connection with Tokkyuger, I have this idea that they run on similar rails… part of it comes from DenLiner combining with Tokkyu-Oh… and part of it is just theory.
KKD: Makes a lot of sense there. Also, you seem to be hinting at something with Luka's nails being yellow.
Pikatwig: Yea… do you want to explain aibou?
KKD: Sure. The thing is, Luka actually was made with the thought in mind of her being portrayed by the same actress who played another character of a similar name in Super Sentai, Luka Millfy aka GokaiYellow.
Pikatwig: Also, she'll be appearing in the Tokkyuger Movie, Galaxy Line SOS, well… not appearing physically per se, but you'll have to figure that out on your own. Just Live More.
KKD: Jaa ne!
