Greetings, fellow DSQ fans and readers! Welcome to another, but first of the two FINAL
installment of the Koudoutai fics!
First, I want to thanks you for reading, reviewing, and enjoying Koudoutai parts 1, 2 and 3
(The New Enemy, The Zodiac Strikes Back and Fight For The Future ). I'm very
happy that you liked it. It really touched me a lot, and because of this, I'm more than inspired
to make another DSQ fic. And thanks to those who read and reviewed the trilogy. I really
appreciate it.
Yes, I know that Koudoutai has already reached its proper ending, but why make another fic
involving (meaning Zodiac in English)? Well, let me explain: This fic, which is also about
Koudoutai, is somewhat of an alternate setting, slightly different from the Koudoutai Trilogy.
And thus, the situation here in this fic will be slightly altered from the Koudoutai parts 1, 2 and 3.
Now, one of the reasons for this is that, the fic you're about to read was inspired from the
TV special, Kamen Rider Ryuki: 13 Riders Special. In that TV special, the story of Ryuki is
somewhat altered a bit from the actual TV series, somewhat of an alternate re-telling of the series.
So therefore I'll be applying it here. And another experiment for me to try out in making a fic.
I happened to watch the 13 Riders special of Kamen Rider Ryuki accidentally on
www()youtube()com, and fortunately, there were English subtitles, and thus I was able to
understand the actual actions and story and it was enough for me to relate. And since the
Koudoutai fics I've written were inspired from Kamen Rider Ryuki, I decided to give this fic a try.
So here it is.
And since this fic is an alternate re-telling, there will be some changes in the story involving the Zodiac.
And believe it or not, two of the main DSQ characters, Class Q's Kyuu Renjou and Ryu Amakusa,
will be the main characters of this fic, and they'll be among the Zodiac fighters who'll fight each other
(and kill each other, if given the chance) to win the coveted prize of their desires.
Oh, yeah, in case you don't know, Kamen Rider Ryuki, or Mask Rider Ryuki to the Filipinos, is
the 12th installment of the Kamen Riders series. It's about 13 Kamen Riders, with their assigned
Card Decks (12 males and 1 female), are tasked to kill other Kamen Riders until only one survives,
and if that Zodiac fighter emerges as the sole survivor, he/she will get the wish that Rider desires
(kind of like The Highlander TV series). It was aired in Japan from 2002-2003, and was aired
in the Philippines from 2004-2005. Being a Kamen Rider fan since the early 90's, and having watched
Ryuki and Kamen Rider Black, those two shows were the deciding factor for me to try an experimental
DSQ fic by infusing the elements from Kamen Rider into DSQ. And hence the Koudoutai fic was born.
And speaking of elements, I've decided to put Pluto in as an added diversion into this fic. Before
Koudoutai was made, I was trying to come up with a fic involving Pluto, but Rhapsoding Riyoko made
a Pluto fic at that time, and that Pluto was defeated in that fic (Pluto Returns). Since I felt that, at that time,
if I make a fic about Pluto, it would compromise Riyoko's fic, and that I believed that Pluto's popularity
has waned, I decided to put it off for now. But after a year and a half, I thought that maybe if I made a Pluto
fic by infusing parts from the Koudoutai fics into this fic, maybe it might not look bad, so here it is.
And before you scratch your heads and thought "I read Koudoutai Parts 1-3 already. Why read this again?",
well let me tell you. This is an alternate re-telling. And unlike the trilogy, this fic will be fairly short, about 1
0 chapters. And no, it won't be that long, 'coz everyone will pop out, and it'll be action-packed.
Oh, yeah, I decided to try another experiment:
This fic will feature two possible endings, but you, my dear readers, will get to choose one ending.
I'll let you in on the mechanics once you've reached the end of this fic.
Now that I've said my piece, it's time to get a move on.
Sorry about this chapter. Next chapter will be the start. And no, This is strictly about Kyuu and Ryu, so
Class C (The Chosen Children from Digimon Adventure 02) won't be here in this fic.
Ok, onto the next chapter!
