Hey all you fans out there. I'm here with the very first fanfic of Kamen Rider that I made on DeviantArt. I call it Kamen Rider Zero. Only this is a my own version of what it is. The heroes name is Takashi Wakamaru, he's 17 years old and in this story, he is the son of Kotaro Minami aka Kamen Rider BLACK RX. And the villains he's fighting are the Krytarian empire, led by Count Marauderon. And this is the first arc in his story. So also let me know what you think of this. With that said, let's get this show on the road.

Chapter 1: Fear the Dingo!
We find ourselves in the city of Spring Hills, a place outside of Domino City. Here we see a young man with dark brown hair with a red and blue streak in it and green eyes, wearing a white t-shirt, navy blue leather jacket, denim jeans, blue and white tennis shoes, and a red glove on his right hand while a blue glove was on his left was walking to Oak View park to have some fun. This was Takashi Wakamaru. He was a fun loving, Duel Monster playing Martial Artist who was seeking adventure. He was also the son of Kotaro Minami. A man who was also a Kamen Rider known as Black RX the Child of the Sun. His dad went away years ago, looking to become a famous helicopter pilot.
"Man, what a way to start the day." Takashi said as he was in his thoughtful spot, which was up in a tree. "I hope to find something to do before I get bored." he said to himself as he was all laid back. Just then, he heard a cry for help. He then sees a whole bunch of punks bullying some innocent kid. "Oh no." said Takashi. "That kid is getting beaten up. I must help." he said again as he jumped down from the tree, and started running towards the bullies.
He is now at the spot and rams them in back,"HEY YOU BASTARDS!" he shouted, "LEAVE THIS BOY ALONE, BEFORE I GO BERSERK!" But the bullies leader just shoved him out of the way and said, "Stay out of this! It's none of your business!" he said trying to intimidate him. But, it did not work.
"YES IT IS, NOW!" Takashi shouted again. And now he was fighting them all of one by one. He punched one of them right in the jaw bone, just like Batman would. And he used a sweep kick on another guy. Another bully was struck down by a move that Takashi saw pro wrestler and entertainer, John Cena use. The Attitude Adjustment. And as for the last one, Junko, he got out a knife. Junko was so pissed he charged right at the boy with the streak in his hair, nearly stabbed Takashi but he dodged it.
"Why don't you get lost, you punk!? Junko wondered so violently. But, Takashi counter him with his own choice of words. "NOT A CHANCE, YOU STARCH SUCKING SNAKE IN THE GROUND!" That insult made Junko so mad, he was gonna kill Takashi.
"OKAY! NOW YOU DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Junko charged at him again, but Takashi dodged again, and hit him in so many spots it's hard to count. He even hit him where the sun doesn't shine. And ouch, that really hurt.
"So, Junko's goons got up and he told them, "Let's get outta here. RETREAT!" he yelled, and they all ran off. While they all ran off, Takashi shout to them, "AND DON'T COME BACK!" He soon returned his attention to the boy who was saved thanks to him.
"Hey, you alright kiddo?" he asked the little boy. Then the little one replied, "Y-yeah. I'll be fine. Thank you." The little boy was safe and sound. "I'm Kouhei Minamoto. Who are you?" he asked our hero.
"I'm Takashi Wakamaru." he introduced himself. He was glad that the boy was okay. But then, he asked him "So, Kouhei, you want me to get your mom and dad?" before Kouhei could answer, his brother and sister showed up. The sister had raven black hair, pewter eyes, and was wearing a light blue, and yellow sundress. And the brother was a guy with icy blue eyes, brown hair, and was wearing a green t-shirt and brown shorts.
"Kouhei, you okay? You got a bruise on you." his sister said. Kouhei replied "I'm okay sis. Takashi here saved me from some bullies." he told her as he pointed at Takashi. She was astonished to see the one who saved her younger brother. "Oh, thank you Takashi. You're a nice guy, you know that?" she said. And then Takashi replied, "No problem, just happy to help where I am."
So with that said, she told him her name. "I'm Kouhei's sister, Botan. And this is our brother, Suichi." she introduced herself and her brother. "Hey man." Suichi said.
"Hey there." Takashi said as he made some new friends. "I have to go meet up with my friends at the arcade. I'll see you at your house tomorrow, okay?" he asked them.
"Sure, we're okay with that." Botan said. "See ya around, Takashi." and so they said their goodbye's and Takashi went to the arcade. And so...Our story begins.
(Answer by FLOW plays)
Instrumental intro: Showing the planet Earth with the sun coming over it. Then it turns to Takashi standing on a hill, looking over the city. Then the moon rises, and the logo for Kamen Rider Zero appears with a dingo head on the Zero name.
(Shisen hazusenzu Freezing are? Makafushigi!) Now showing a scene where Takashi is running across a field of grass. When he suddenly spots a bunch of monsters in his direction.
(Subete misukasu you na!) Now shows him looking at a picture of his father, Kotaro Minami as BLACK RX. Then it slides to the Krytarians in their ship; the Shadow Fortress. From right to left it shows their leaders, including their master, Count Marauderon.
(Krieigotowa bleeding shinjite believe me!) The panel now shows the logo for the Z.E.R.O. Rescue Squad. We now see the scientist Prof. Nick Michaels and their leader Commodore Brian Robertson III inside Z.E.R.O. rescue squad HQ. Along with the other squad members including: Dr. Toshiro Hamaguchi, Cmdr. Kazuma Higurashi, Lt. Megumi Akistuki and Minato Sanada.
(Shinjitsu wa doko?) The scene shifts back to Takashi up on the hill. He then hears a call for help.
(Shikakerata wana Hai no wandarrado Nukedasu sube mo shirazu ni.)Takashi is now running to stop the Krytarians foot soldiers called the Skulloids. He points his arm at them with his hand in the form of a claw,and he does his dad's signature starting position and he shouts, "IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"
(Sou aishiteru kara aishiteru nara kokoro misete)He moves his arms in different ways, like diagonally, up and to the side. The Zero Spark appears around his waist, and the crystal starts to activate.
(Kowaresou na hodo suitemi de ai wo dakishimeru yo!)Takashi goes through the metamorphosis that involves him doing a variety of movements. His armor comes out the way his father's did when he was Black Sun.
(Tatoe sore ga yumemaborshi demo kamawanai!) He then has his helmet on his head, and a little gold 'Z' appears on the left side of his chest plating.
(Owarenai Kono mama Nee saigo wa kimi no)He is then fighting them off one at a time. Now he's seen riding his motorcycle Stag Crusher, at night. He slides a card into the slot on his left gauntlet glove. And the Spark Slasher sword comes out. He slashes right through the blockade of Skulloids.
(Furueru honne wo ore ni sarashite kure!)He does his Blazing Rider Kick with his left leg. And the monsters exploded.
(YEAH! Focus on x3 a naked balze FOCUS ON!) Takashi is now seen on a rooftop overlooking the city of Spring Hills.
(End song)
Takashi is now going to the arcade to meet up with some friends of his. He runs into a few of them, one with blonde hair and hazel eyes, wearing a jade green jacket, brown t-shirt and navy blue denim jeans. And had white tennis shoes on his feet. Another friend of his had long black hair,and grey eyes. And was wearing a blue t-shirt, white short pants, knee high socks, and blue green high tops.
"Hey there Haru. Hey Jo." Takashi said as he greeted his friends.
"Oh, hey there Takashi." Haru and Jo said in unison. Haru Yamada was a rebellious kind of guy. He liked to have fun, sing, dance and so forth. Jo Mackenzie was an everyday kind of girl. She has an IQ of 129, has a flirty personality, and has an unconfirmed crush on Takashi.
"So, what happened to you man?" Haru asked looking concerned. "You look like someone shoved you to the ground."
"I was." he said. "These bullies were picking on a little kid I met earlier today." he told them. Then he told them that he beat up their leader and he ran off like a coward. Him and his goons. And his friends were amazed.
"Whoa! You gonna be okay, Takashi?" Jo asked feeling worried.
"Yeah, I'll be fine." Takashi told them, which made the both of them sigh in relief. "So the boy I met was named Kouhei Minamoto. I also met his brother and sister, Suichi and Botan. I told them I'd visit their house tomorrow." he said to them, knowing that he was gonna make some new friends.
"Alright, they sound nice enough to me." Haru said. He also asked Takashi this, "So, did you ask them where they lived?"
Takashi responded, "No, I already know where they live. 2107, Carpenter ave." he said as he told them what street they lived on.
"Oh, good." Jo said in a flirty manner. "So, is Suichi dating anyone?"
"No, he's not at the moment." the boy with the blue and red streak in his hair stated.
"Why would you ask that, Jo?" Haru asked teasingly. "You interested in him?"
That comment actually made her start turning red, "N-n-n-no." she said as she stuttered. "I just want to see what he looks like, that's all."
"Okay, well you can come with me to see them tomorrow." He gave them permission as he told them that.
"Alright, we'll go with that." they said in unison. So Takashi and the others parted ways, and went across the town.
Takashi and his friends liked to have fun no matter where they went. But, little did they know, above the Earth a space ship was orbiting the planet right now. An evil space army was En route there now. This was the Shadow Fortress, head ship of the evil Krytarian empire. The Krytarians are an alien race that can invade a planet they have their sights set on, and now they have their sights set on our planet. They are commanded by their locator Findor, the master sword fighter Zakron, the jester/royal fool, Groknoid, their assassin Eyeskorn, and the leaders Countess Jorina and Count Marauderon. The lot of them were in the main hold/throne room, holding a briefing.
"Report Findor, what planet have you found worth our while?" said the Count.
"Database confirms that planet Earth is in our reach right now." stated the floating droid.
"Excellent!" Marauderon said with reluctance. "Soon the human race will bow to us, the Krytarians!" he said then laughed evilly.
"Master, what shall we do in the meantime?" Zakron asked his mentor.
"Well Zakron, you are our finest warrior." the count said to his soldier. "I need you to send one of our monsters down to that planet." he instructed.
"That should be easy, my love." Jorina said to her husband. "You have a vast army of Necrodons in your arsenal. Send them all!"
"One will be enough." he said back to his wife. "All these creatures unleashed, would be more than I could handle."
He looked around his vault, and found the monster that caught his eye.
"Hmm. Maybe the Kabutron will do me justice." the count said. "I have created an insect that can transform into a truck. He'll make mincemeat out of the humans."
"All hail, we cannot fail." Groknoid rhymed.
"Please stop that, Groknoid." Eyeskorn said.
"Sorry, I couldn't resist." Groknoid told them.
So, Zakron put the container with Kabutorn into the morphacation device, and it morphed into a monster. So he gave it an instruction.
"Kabutron, attack the city, and kill those who stand in your way!" the swordsman said. He soon let there be a bright beam of lavender light, descending down from the ship. And Kabutron was on the hill, and ready to cause destruction in his path.
"I will not fail my mission! Count Marauderon will soon rule this planet!" the monster said as he laughed evilly.
Meanwhile, we now see a headquarters on a mountaintop. This was the HQ for the Zeta Eradication of Renegade aliens and Operational Rescue Squad. (Z.E.R.O. rescue squad for short.)And at the desk, we see the leader of this group. His appearance is a 6 ft. 1 in. tall man in a leather uniform that was white, blue, red, green, and yellow. His hair was brown with pewter eyes, and wearing a soldier capt.s hat on his head. And with him was a man with a hairdo that resembled Daisuke Misumi from Chaos;Head. Only, he was wearing a white lab coat, light blue shirt, beige pants and brown boots. These men go by the names Commodore Brian Robertson III and Prof. Nicholas Michaels. Or Nick for his short name. Nick saw the light outside while he was writing in his journal.
"Commodore Robertson, sir. Did you see that light in the sky just now?" Nick asked his leader.
"Yes Nick. I did indeed." Brian said back to his employee. "That feeling I have has returned. I sense the Krytarians. The're on their way here."
"What should we do sir?" Nick asked again.
"We must find someone who can stop them." Brian replied. "Someone whose father has defeated an evil like this before."
"Yes sir." Nick said. "I will find him immediately."
"Okay, good luck." Brian said then he exclaimed, "GO! AND HURRY!"
"Aye aye, commodore." Nick said as he saluted his leader, and ran off.
"We need the son of Kotaro Minami/Kamen Rider BLACK RX." Brian thought to himself.
So now, Nick was in the briefing room with some of the other scientists, and co-workers. It looked allot like the Cittagon from Ultraman Tiga, only brought into the 21st century.
"Hurry people, hurry!" Nick exclaimed. "We need to find the son of Kotaro Minami aka Kamen Rider Black RX. Commodore Robertson has informed me that the Krytarians are on the way here, now!" he said as he panicked.
"Okay Prof. Michaels. I'm looking for him now." said one of the scientists as he was at his computer. Soon, the computer bleeped, and it locked on to someone.
"We found him, Professor." said the other scientist. "His name is Takashi Wakamaru. I think he's the one we need."
"Okay, I'll go bring him here at once!" Nick said as he took off in a patriotic jeep, and drove all the way to the spot where Takashi was at.
Back in Spring Hills, we now see Takashi walking around the town, and he was contemplating about his dad.
"Dad, I wonder where your helicopter took you this time." he thought to himself, and he suddenly heard an explosion.
*KABOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!* The sound was so loud, it was nearly loud enough to wake the dead. There was a building burning from that very explosion. The fire department was already on the case.
"Oh man." The lead fireman said. "Looks like there was an explosion. I hope we have enough water in our tank to put it out." he said again as he and his crew went to put it out. Meanwhile, the rest of the crew went inside to find some people trapped in there. Takashi went around the back without anyone noticing him, and he climbed up the spot, and saw that there was a hole in the wall caused by the kaboom. So he saw the fire fighters trying to get the people out, poured water all over himself, and ran up to them.
"Hang on." Takashi said. "I'll help you fire fighters!" he said with heroic dialogue.
"What are you thinking, kid?" Fireman 1 said. "You shouldn't be here, it's to dangerous!"
"I help people because it's the right thing to do." he said to the firemen. "I know it's dangerous, but someone's gotta do this. Right?"
"We know that." Fireman 2 said. "But, why are you here, young man?"
"Because, I'm not gonna stand behind and do nothing!" he said to them so boldly. He then pointed to the hole in the wall he found earlier. "Try having them jump down from that hole in the wall. I found that coming in here."
"Okay, if you say so kid." Fireman 3 said as he called his team, and he asked them to deploy the airbag. And then, Fireman 1 said, "QUICK! EVERYONE THIS WAY!"
So the people from the building all jumped down onto the airbag, and they were all escorted to the shelter on the other side of town. Takashi was relieved to see all of them safe. But, unbeknownst to him, a monster appeared from out of nowhere, right behind him. And the beast said, "Oh look. A hero. My Favorite." so venomously. The monster looked like a Rhino Beetle mixed with organic and inorganic parts, had an evil look on his face and charged at our hero, and he dodged it with style.
"Whoa! You missed." Takashi said teasingly.
"Yeah." the monster said. "But my next shot won't!" he shouted as he fired a laser right at Takashi's right arm, and it hit him really hard.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" He screamed in pain. And the monster ran at him again, and stopped.
"Oh, it gets worse." the monster said again. "Next I'll go for your leg." and he did just that. Takashi was now badly injured, he couldn't stand up and run like he normally could. He was about to be turned into a rotting corpse.
"Ugh...Ugh." Takashi grunted and said to the beast. "Who or what are you?"
"Well, since you asked I'll tell you." the monster said. "I'm a Necrodon, and the names Kabutron."
"What are you gonna do to me?" Takashi said with a painful look on his face.
"Why that's simple." Kabutron said. "I'M GONNA KILL YA! GOODBYE FOREVER HUMAAAAAANNNNNNNNNN!" he was about to run his claw across his head, but was suddenly halted by a call to rescue.
"NOT SO FAST, MONSTER!" the mystery man shouted as he charged at the monster, and shot it with a laser blast. Now the monster was injured.
"Aggghhhhhhh! We'll meet again human!" Kabutron said. "This isn't over yet."
"On that much, we agree." the man said as he soon carried Takashi out of the building.
"Don't worry young man." the man said to Takashi. "I'm gonna help you." Takashi knew that the one who saved him was a really kind man, who was also a certified doctor.
Back at the Shadow Fortress, Count Marauderon was watching what had happened. He saw it all on his view screen.
"Findor, what has happened?" the count said looking at his droid.
"Someone has attacked Kabutorn at the correct location. However, Kabutron has caused much destruction in his path."Findor said as he gave the report.
"Well, I'm angry and impressed at the same time." Marauderon said. "Excellent. So, who was it that attacked him?"
"No Data on who it was. But all we know is that he works for a group of human rescuers." Findor confirmed.
"Hmm." the count wondered. "These humans may pose a threat after all."
"Indeed my love." Jorina said to her husband.
"What shall we do, sire?" Zakorn asked.
"Teleport Kabutron back up!" Marauderon said. "We shall have him launch another attack, in a few hours!"
"Yes sire!" everyone on board said in unison.
"Eyeskorn, I need you to look over Kabutron's injuries." Marauderon said as he was.
"Right away, your evilness." the assassin said as he went to preform his duty.
The next few minutes, the scientists at Z.E.R.O. rescue squad HQ, or Overlook Peak as it was called were working on a way to make Takashi alive again. So, they decided to make him into a cyborg. And when they were done, they inserted a gem called the Lunar Crystal into his body and the surgery was now complete. So now, the boy was waking up, feeling a little groggy. The doctors who saved his life gave him a new right arm and left leg. The operating room looked like the inside of a Dojo.
"Ugh...huh?" Takashi said as he was rubbing his eyes with his left arm. "Where am I. What happened to the monster?" he asked.
"He's gone for now." doctor #1 said. "We brought you here to our headquarters. The lot of us saved your life. You were badly injured after you saved those fire fighters."
"Really?" Takashi asked. "Thank you for saving me. How did you know about that incident, and who are you all?"
"Introductions? Very well." Nick said as he entered the room. "I am Professor Nicholas Michaels, but you can call me Nick."
"This is my team." He introduced his friends. "Dr. Toshiro Hamaguchi and his apprentice Minato Sanada."
"Hello there, Takashi." Toshiro and Minato greeted him. They both had lab coats on. Toshiro was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans with holes in the knees. Minato had a grey sweater,and brown sweat pants. Both of them had Nike sneakers on.
"This is Cmdr. Kazuma Higurashi, and his son Sotarou." Nick said as he pointed his hand towards the commander and his son. The commander had a uniform that looked like Brian's uniform, and his son was in a yellow t-shirt, blue shorts, white socks, and brown Sketchers.
"Hello there young man." Kazuma said to our hero.
"Hey dude, nice to see ya." Sotarou said as he had made a teenage friend.
"Hi there." Takashi said. he knew that he was surrounded by a group of heroes.
"Oh, and our newest member is coming in right now." Nick said as he was. "Takashi, this is Lt. Megumi Akitsuki. Our newest member." he said again as Megumi had walked into the room.
Takashi turned his head and saw a young woman with long black hair, also in a uniform the resembled Brian's. She also had icy blue eyes, and her body was totally stacked. She was 6 ft 6 in. tall, muscular and busty. To Takashi, she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen. He was about to say something, but did not know what to say.
"Hey there, Takashi." Megumi said as she walked up to him. "I'm new around here. I heard you got hurt, are you okay?" she asked him, and Takashi's face was red like a tomato.
"H-hi there Megumi." Takashi said nervously. Then he wondered, "What happened to me? And, why am I here?"
"I'll explain that part." Brian said as he walked into the room to see how things were going.
"And who are you, sir?" Takashi asked.
"I'm Commodore Brian Robertson III, at your service." Brian said as he introduced himself properly.
"Hello there, sir." Takashi said as he shook the older man's hand.
"Hello." Brian said politely. "Anyway, here's what happened to you." He turned everyone's attention to the video screen.
It showed them all the monster that attacked Takashi, back at the burning building. It was Kabutron. In all his evil glory.
"That's the monster that attacked me." Takashi said as he started to remember. "He said his name was Kabutron."
"Ah yes." Brian said. "He is a Necrodon, a monster made by the Krytarian empire. There are more like him, but they all are separate."
"Really?" Takashi wondered. "Well, he also injured my right arm and left leg. I can't stand on my left foot, or write with my right arm anymore, can I?"
"Nonsense." Minato said. "We fixed you up, by giving you a new right arm and left leg. But this time we gave them a little bit of machinery."
"Huh?" Takashi said looking confused.
"We made you half machine." Toshiro stated.
"WHAT!?" Takashi blurted out. You put machine parts in me? How did you manage to do that?"
"Well, quoting from The Six Million Dollar Man 'We have the technology.'" Brian said as he recited the line from the show he watched when he was younger. "You see, we are the Zeta Eradication of Renegade aliens and Operational rescue squad. Z.E.R.O. rescue squad for short." he told him the name of their group.
"So, in other words," Takashi started to figure it out. "You're all a new division made by the government?" he asked them.
"Yes." Brian said to him. "And we have chosen you."
"Chosen me?" Takashi wondered. "For what?"
"To become the hero Earth needs to battle the Krytarian empire." the commodore stated.
"Me? A hero?" the boy wondered.
"Yes." Nick answered. "You are truly one to follow in the footsteps of your father." he told him.
"My...father?" the streak haired boy asked again.
"Indeed." Dr. Hamaguchi stated. "Your father happens to be Kotaro Minami. He once fought against the Crisis empire and the Gorgam, as the 'child of the sun' Kamen Rider BLACK RX."
"Kamen Rider Balck RX?" Takashi asked and then replied, "But, he still has his powers."
"Well actually, we're going to give you a new rider name." Cmdr. Higurashi said.
"Really?" Takashi asked again. "What is it?"
"Takashi, we chose you to become...Kamen Rider Zero." Megumi told him.
"Kamen Rider...Zero?" he wondered. "Well...uh...I don't want to look like a bug. Okay?" he replied.
"Don't worry. You won't look like a bug." Minato said to the soon to be hero. "Your rider motif is a Dingo."
"A dingo." Takashi said. "So, I'm a dog?" he asked for the last time.
"Indeed." Brian said to him. "With your new powers, you can save the planet from the Krytarians. And, you have the courage to do so."
"Okay, I'm in!" Takashi replied with happiness. He shook the commodore's hand, and he was welcomed into the squad.
Back at the Shadow Fortress, Marauderon was getting Kabutron ready for another attack on Earth.
"Zakron. Tell me of Kabutron's condition." Marauderon instructed. "Is he ready for another assault?"
"Yes sire. He's all fixed up, and awaiting your command." Zakron informed his mentor.
"Excellent work Zakron!" the count said to his disciple. "You may proceed."
So another beam of light was shot down from the evil ship, and Kabutron was back on the streets of Spring Hills, attacking again.
"Hah!" Kabutorn teased. "Thought I was gone did ya? Well, I'M NOT! NOW, TO DESTROY THIS CITY, AND REBUILD IT FOR COUNT MARAUDERON!" he shouted for his creator's victory.
Back at Overlook Peak, the alarm went off, and everyone heard it blaring loudly.
*BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP*
"Oh no, the alarm!" Commodore Robertson stated. "That must mean Kabutron is back!"
"What?" Takashi said as he was surprised.
So, Toshiro looked it up on the screen, and they all saw him attacking again. He was now more relentless than ever.
"He's attacking the city of Spring Hills." Toshiro informed them all. And the lot of the squad was stunned to hear where it was coming from.
"That's just outside of Domino City, where Yugi Moto fought for the Battle City tournament." Megumi said. And then, they all gathered around.
"What?" Megumi asked. "I saw it on TV. And, Battle City is a type of Duel Monsters tournament. I read all about it."
"Really?" Sotaro asked her.
"Yep." she replied.
"Anyway, what should I do?" Takashi asked them.
"Takashi, you're fully healed." Nick said. "Okay, this is the first test of your new powers."
"Right." he confirmed. "Don't worry guys, I won't let you down. I promise!" he stated so boldly.
"Go get 'em rider." Megumi said to him kindly.
"Thanks." Takashi said, as he put his clothes back on and walked with them all the way to the teleporter room.
While they walked there, Takashi had one more question to ask.
"So...What's my morph call?" he asked.
"Your morph call is the same one that the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers used, when they battle Rita Repulsa." Brian said.
"Oh, well all I have to do is teleport there, and defeat Kabutorn. Then get back to base." Takashi confirmed.
"Well, looks like your ready." Minato said.
"Teleporter to maximum, Cmdr. Higurashi." Brian said, quoting a line from Star Trek.
"Aye aye Commodore." Kazuma responded.
"Energize!" Brian said.
And just like that, Takahsi was transported out of the mountain, and into the city. He looked all over, and spotted the beetle monster in the direction he went in.
When Takashi got to the spot, he shouted at him.
"Now, for some real firepower! HAHA!" Kabutron shouted and laughed evilly.
"HEY! KABUTRON!" Kabutron turned around, and saw the one he thought was dead. "Remember me?"
"No, as a matter of fact, I do not." the monster said as he was curious. "Who are you?"
"I'M TAKASHI WAKAMARU! SON OF KOTARO MINAMI! The man who single-handedly destroyed the Gorgam and the Crisis Empire, 25 years ago!" Takashi shouted, as the whole city was evacuated. No one saw him.
"Oh, now I remember. You're the boy whose arm and leg I broke." Kabutron said, and his amusement was turned to shock. "Wait a minute. Koataro Minami?"
"You know him by his hero name. I have a new one. Similar, but different." Takashi said. He was now ready to embrace his destiny, and become the hero Earth needed in it's darkest hour of need. He took the starting position his dad used when he fought Crisis, and then a belt appeared around his waist and is said in an electronic voice, "HENSHIN" and then Takashi put his arms in a zigzag format, forming a 'Z'. He then put his left arm to the side of his head.
"IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!" he shouted. And he put is left fist, into his right hand, and began doing various arm movements, in all directions. And he stopped doing the movements, and ended in a position that was mirrored from the position his dad used, when he fought the Gorgam. Next, there was this flash of light that was multi-colored. And, suddenly the armor came on in the formation of his dad's 3rd form RX Bio Rider, only with Dingo ear's on the top of the helmet, and fangs on the mouth piece. His shoulder pads were white, and there was a little gold colored 'Z' on the left side of his chest plating, and his knees, wrist's, ankle's and elbow's were red while the rest of his armor was blue. He also had antenna's on his forhead, and a golden yellow, crystal with a little green light at the bottom of the antenna's.
"N-n-n-n-No. It can't be!" Kabutron thought and said to himself. And the he said frightened, "Y-y-you are-"
"Ore wa Tsuki no ko(1). Kamen Rider...Zero!" Takashi said as he used another battle ready stance from his dad. Only he mixed it with the Mighty Morphin Red Ranger's position that he used in his battle intros. "FEAR. THE. DINGO. AAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He howled at the moon in full fury.
"Kamen Rider Zero, eh?" Kabutron said as wondered. "No matter. I will still destroy you!" He charged right at him swinging his arms like blades.
"Not this time, Kabutron!" Zero shouted as he started to fight him off.
Zero started it off with a left hook punch, and then hit him with a basic kick, and then he used a right jab on him. But, it was still not enough to take him down, then Kabutron hit him back.
"You're making this hard on yourself." Zero said to the beast jokingly.
"Oh, really?" Kabutorn teased. "Let's see how you deal with my HYPER SHOT!" he said as he shot a laser at our hero. Takashi was only hurt for a few seconds.
"Damn, I gotta think of something." Zero thought to himself, as the monster was heading right for him.
"How about you surrender!" Kabutorn tried to intimidate him. "The Krytarian empire's evil will spread throughout the universe! There's nothing you can do to stop us!" he said again acting like a bully. But Takashi would not back down, no matter what the cost.
(BGM: Rock You Like A Hurricane by The Scorpions)
"YOU'RE WRONG!" Zero shouted at the monster. "You will be stopped! I will make sure of that!" he said again as he punched the monster again in the eyes, his opponent was now weakened. Just then, Zero heard a beeping sound coming from his helmet. It was Brian calling in on the communicator inside the helmet.
"Takashi. You need to use one of your new finishers." Brian said as he was giving an instruction via the helmet. "Try the Shining Rider Punch, it's your only option right now." he instructed again.
"Okay." Takashi said signing out of communicator mode. "Got it Commodore."
"Oh, now what are you doing?" Kabutron asked violently.
"You're gonna find out, Kabutron!" Zero said warning the beast. He then put his right fist into his left palm, scratched his fist, and it started glowing.
"Time to go Domon Kasshu on his ass." Takashi thought to himself. And, he started to imitate what he saw on Mobile Fighter G Gundam.
So Zero decided to call out his new finisher. "This claw of mine is shining blue. It's furious howl tells me to grasp victory for justice!" he clenched his fist and jumped into the air, and he shouted, "SHINING! RIDER! PUNCH!" he was now charging right at Kabutron roaring in fury. "HYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The punch connected, and the monster started to explode just after he shouted, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Then Kabutron exploded into a thousand pieces.
(End BGM)
After the smoke cleared, our hero knew that he was the victor. "I-I-I did it. Well, that should be the last time anyone like hims tries to do away with me." he said as he stood proudly above the citizens, they all knew that they all had a new hero in town.
"Hey, everyone look!" one of the citizens said. "That dog looking guy just saved us!" he said again and everyone cheered.
Takashi was happy that they all cheered for him. He was also glad that they were all safe.
"Thank you, everyone." he said to them all. Then one of the citizens walked up to him and said, "Excuse me, mister. Who are you?"
"My name is Kamen Rider Zero, and my motto is; If a Necrodon is out there, I'll be there to stop the monster." he said as he explained his motto to them all.
"THANK YOU KAMEN RIDER ZERO!" everyone in the city said in unison.
"You're welcome." Zero said to them. "Now, to return to my headquarters."
In the distance, Kouhei, Botan and Suichi said to him as he left, "Good bye, Kamen Rider Zero." and "We'll never forget you, man." Yet somehow, they knew it was Takashi under that mask. But, they would only tell him when time was right.
Back at the Shadow Fortress, Count Marauderon was angry about his failure tonight.
"UGH, NO!" He shout in fury. He gave his minions a headache. "Whoever this Kamen Rider Zero is, I will not rest until he is destroyed, and the Earth is mine ours!"
"What shall we do until then, my love?" Jorina asked her husband.
"We shall wait till he comes out again, my dear Jorina." Marauderon said to his wife.
"I know how to relieve your stress, my Count." Jorina said as she had a sultry look in her eyes.
"Oh, okay my love." Marauderon said as he too got that look in his eyes as well. "Let's go back to our room, and well you know."
"Indeed, you handsome villain you." Jorina said as her and Marauderon left for the boudoir.
Now, back at Overlook Peak, our hero returned to be evaluated on his mission. He enters the main hold, where the commodore congratulates him on a job well done.
"You were amazing out there, Takashi." Brian said to him.
"Thank you, sir." our hero said back to him, and saluted.
"And, on behalf of everyone here, you are now officially a member of the Z.E.R.O. Rescue Squad." Brian told him as he was offered a place in their group.
"Me? With all of you?" Takashi asked himself. And out of the blue, he answered. "Okay, I'm in!"
"Excellent. Welcome aboard, Takashi Wakamaru/Kamen Rider Zero." Commodore Robertson said to him shaking hands with him.
"Right now, let's get you fitted for your uniform." Minato said. "And, you can have your jacket opened."
"Thank you, Minato." Takashi said the student. "So, do I get to pick my own color?"
"Of course you do." Brian said. And then everyone laughed it all out.
"I'm also gonna need an 'End of the Battle' catchphrase." Takashi wondered.
They were all intrigued by his statement. Just then, Sotaro went and said.
"Well, how about this, 'Your time is up!'?" the little one said.
"Okay, I'm willing to go with that." Takashi said agreeing with that idea.
"Very well, now then let's get a move on." Brian said. "Oh, and we'll also allow you to make your own Duel Monsters deck." he said to the boy.
Takashi was amazed to hear that as well, "Really? Okay, I'll get to work on the deck, after I get fitted for my uniform." he said to the commodore.
"Very well then." Nick said as they walked to the fitting room.
The rest of the squad was impressed with his battle tonight, and his actions. He saved lives, defeated a monster and became a hero, all at the same time. And now, he's a member of the squad. "He has the makings of a fine young man. And an excellent Kamen Rider. Just like his father." Megumi thought to herself. She was starting to develope a crush on him, just the same way he feels for her. But she did not know that yet.
