AN: I can't believe I'm doing this shit.
Disclaimer: This is Fanfiction, obviously I don't own the source materials, else, I wouldn't be here. Go suck on Satan's balls, SOPA activists.
We all heard of this sort of stories, where fate or the mind of some person with too much time deemed necessary (or amusing) to transport people from our reality to others.
Often, these people would need to learn skills corresponding to the world they were sent to, but sometimes, they would simply use what they already knew to throw that world's logic out the window.
This is the story of one such person, whose lack of desire will guide him towards some of the most… 'Unique' people that universe had to offer.
And now, meeting the lonely white devil, this person, the incarnation of 'Desire' shall take on the path of a hero, one of much like the ones he idolizes.
The story of a young hero now begins!

"I seriously can't believe I'm doing this." I told no one in particular.
"Oh? So you regret joining your cute little sister first using her birthday present, which you gave her just about yesterday?" an annoyed, younger voice answered me. Shit, she must really be upset if she's talking about herself in third person.
"Seriously, James, you can't always pretend to be the responsible big brother, or do you want me to tell mom about those six assignments you still haven't done?"
I didn't need to turn to look at her to know she was grinning devilishly.
"… Let's get this done already"
My name is James Mitchell, 19 years old, brown haired, a little on the short side (1.76m) with messy black hair and onyx eyes, and the one currently threatening me is my little sister, Alexis Mitchell, almost half my age (She's eight).
My current situation, a few months, one of our uncles had called from somewhere in japan, and knowing it would be Alexis' birthday, had asked me what she would like him to get her. I knew my sister had a kind obsessive fixation on cute things (which I'm sure she'll regret once she hits puberty) and fantasy stuff, so I told him to get the first season of a show called "something-Whatever lyrical something again" that I'd heard from an magical girl otaku from my class.
Seriously, some people didn't know where to set limits on hobbies.
I also asked for something, That same otaku guy, had introduced me to what he called the tokusatsus, basically, the inspiration of the Power Rangers saga I cherished in my childhood. Super Sentai, unfortunately, I couldn't understand very well, so I lost interest on it, Metal Heroes too. Pity, I kinda thought I would like them.
But there was this series, called Kamen Rider, which I definitely liked, and one of the most recent seasons, OOO, I felt like getting something to remember it by.
So I had asked for my uncle to get me the OOODriver and all the Core Medals, plus a few medals, and jokingly, told him I would get my cousin (his daughter) one of the best presents for her fifteenth birthday if he could get all the weapons, the BirthDriver, and the BirthBuster too. And if he could get me the special Poseidon Driver and medals, I would definitely attend that birthday party in a tuxedo.
I should have foreseen, with my Cousin's kind of confusing fondness of me (and the high-class parties), and my uncle's disturbing overprotective tendencies, that he would make something stupidly impossible for the sake of making my cousin happy.
So I simply face-palmed when I saw the familiar black UPS van and employee standing at my doorstep with quite the packages, waiting for me to sign the received document.
I totally did not squeal when I found all the Kamen Rider OOO paraphernalia, and my sister's soon to be gift, which I then learned that was called Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha.
I simply had to admire my uncle's doing, he'd gotten me all the medals as promised, and quality ones, not those found in the gachapon machines that one could see the chip inside of. And also he'd added the Medajalibur and the Medagabryu and the Special Movie medals (Super Tatoba, Burakawani, Kangaroo) and a few candroids, at least two of each.
…So, yeah, now I had to tell my parents why I had gone to a tailor to get my measurements for a tuxedo.
Unfortunately, my guess for my sister's present had been oo in the spot, as she had marathoned the whole season, and the second one, and now was dragging me to her room in the second floor in order to get me to make her company while she watched the first season for the fifth time.
Seriously, had it not been for the fact I use my PC for watching TV, I would have cursed my uncle into oblivion.
But somehow, she now thought I was a good idea that we watch the first season during what could be the worst storm of this year, the lights went out, and if wasn't for our house having solar panels and about forty eight backup batteries and a generator in the basement, we would be in absolute darkness.
So I now waited in the game room, the DVD already showing the menu and the smell of popcorn reaching my nose, as my sister had gone and made a few bag of the stuff.
For some reason, I still was in my special Emiya Kiritsugu costume (I was dressed like that, and my sister had dressed like some magical girl named Madoka, she even wore a strange pink wig). The box with all my OOO stuff had been brought to the room since that UPS dropped them by, as my own room was way too filled with other important stuff to get the props to be displayed as I liked it.
The storm was picking up, so I chose to bite the bullet and hurry my sister.
"ALEXIS! HURRY UP! I STILL HAVE TO MAKE MY HOMEWORK!"
"DON'T YOU DARE TO 'HURRY UP' ME! AND WHAT KIND OF EXCUSE IS THAT? YOU ALWAYS FINISH HOMEWORK AT SCHOOL!"
…
Damn, she got me.
I looked again at the DVD box showing the characters, and the tiny booklet that had some info on them, actually I found myself interested in some of them, and quite disturbed that the Main Character befriended her opponents via giga magic blast.
I hope that doesn't give Alexis any funny ideas.
So now, I looked at the reinforced window, listening at the storm picking up, the thunder coming closer, and prayed that none of those hit our house and fried us with it.
I should have known I had just jinxed myself.
I felt like just getting on with the show, and hit the play button, the sooner we got this over, the sooner I could get the girly images out of my brain.
But I almost didn't notice that the storm had apparently stopped, all quiet al of the sudden, I saw how the OOO stuff began shining and blue and white was the last I saw then.
And just like that, felt the world crashing around me.

Sixth Ranger BetaHalo Presents:
Kamen Lyrical Rider OOO: Magic of Desire!
Chapter One: Another Universe, Medals and Magic!
I woke up to a world of pain.
"Ugh… what the…" my words died in my mouth as I stared at the black void in front of me, somehow I could still breathe, and I saw the briefcase with my core medals drifting away from me. "LIKE HELL!" I shouted as I lounged towards them, and after grabbing it, I took the other one with the Medajalibur and the Candroids, but the Medagabryu was a lost cause and the one with the Birth stuff was barely close enough to grab it with my legs.
"Come on!" I never did much exercise in my life, and my body was making me pay now, as my muscles screamed at me in protest, but I couldn't let these things go, I had made a contract with the devil (figuratively) and like hell I would let them disappear before I enjoyed them thoroughly!
I watched as the Medals' briefcase flashed with green, yellow, blue, orange, red and finally purple, and imagine my surprise as the nine Purple cores somehow got out the case and floated in front of me for a second, before entering my body and leaving me dizzier than anything.
Once again, I felt my consciousness go away, but I swear I saw something like a huge building coming at me, and nine more purple things racing at me.
I woke up with an uncontrolled gasp, as if I had been drowning, looking at the time, I saw my clock's hands that read five thirty in the morning.
Wait… clock hands? I never used such thing as a clock, my IPhone had always the duty of waking me up since I bought it. And its successors had inherited that position.
I felt it vibrate somewhere under my pillow, as usual, but I noticed that whoever had done my bed, had made it as if I was directly on the floor.
And I looked again and notice, I was on the floor.
But… how? Last I remember I was waiting for Alexis to come with the popcorn and watch that damn anime, in the middle of the weirdest storm I'd ever… seen…
Oh crap, please tell me it's a dream.
I stared at the roof, which I somehow knew was made of wood, instead or the reinforced concrete my normal room had.
I got up, dressed on some plain white pajamas and looked for the bathroom, I needed to be sure I was me and not overly drunk again.
I went into the bathroom and looked at myself in the mirror, by black hair had now a bluish tint to it, and spiky as only anime hair could, my once curious onyx eyes (that had gotten me disturbing comparisons to Twilight saga Vampires, ugh) now flashed purple under the correct angle. And most importantly, I looked like a nine year old
Still a bit shaken from these findings I went once more to my room, my heart hammering loudly, I mean, how could this be? I was in a Japanese house, my hair and eyes changed, I'd ben de-aged and I swore I saw an old fashioned computer in one of the rooms.
Reaching my room, I prepared myself to find out what had happened.
I saw a room not so much different from my own, except for a few key differences, my once shiny, LED screen computer had turned into one of those bulky, hideous looking CTR screens, the place where my Xbox 360 would be was filled with some unknown console, and my library, once full of books and game discs, had some unknown books and several game cartridges, and where my comfy bed would be, laid a futon, recognizable by anyone who'd seen anime in their life.
But on the corner I saw three shiny silver briefcases that definitely didn't belong to the scenery.
Oh god (or was it kami?) I found most of my stuff, the OOODriver, which had its belt and scanner missing, my collection of core medals, a few cell medals, the Candroids, the Birth Driver, the Buster, the Medajalibur and the Rider Vendor toy. Strangely I found that none of them looked like plastic, and when I touched then, they all felt like made of metal and had far more weight a toy should.
My Medagabryu was missing, and so was my Poseidon Driver, but its cores (Same, Kujira and Ookamiuo) were with the other cores. I felt like looking for them, but right now I had more important stuff to do.
I found some sailor uniform (which I never thought I would wear out of a anime convention), it was fairly simple. But something kept nagging me in the back of my head that I'd seen it somewhere.
I chose to hide the briefcases behind the bookshelf, somehow, where was enough space for them and one wouldn't find them unless they knew they were there.
I heard someone's voice calling for someone.
"Yamato! Wake up! You're gonna be late for school! Ah, you're awake"
I looked at the woman in front of me, her short, pale blue hair was certainly unique, and her reddish eyes made me think of a mice under the light, but I refrained from saying that out loud. What needed my attention was what she called me, or who she thought I was.
"Ah… I couldn't sleep well… mom" I told her in my most 'innocent' voice. Please, let her buy this utter…
"Ara, didn't I tell you not to eat so much ice cream before going to sleep?" it worked!
Wait, what was that about ice cream?
"Uhhh… I'll not do that anymore, mom…"
"Good, now hurry, breakfast is ready and you've got to be early to school"
Something was still in my mind so I asked.
"Where is my imouto(little sister)?" I never thought I would miss my sister, but If I was this age that would mean…
"Ara, how did you find out about that, did Tou-san (father) tell you over the phone?"
… yeah, Alexis (or whoever this might be) was still in the making, ganbare, Alexis!
I kind of felt sorry for whoever might be my dad in here, though.
I took on the sight of the city, it was Japanese, but it looked way too modern to be from ten years in the past, even for japan and its cutting edge technology.
My IPhone was with me, but no 4G or 3G was detected, I had a really fun time getting it to work, and had to use a cutter and the older cellphone I found in my room. I had to cut the SIM card so it could fit the IPhone's SIM bay. Strangely, I had searched on the infant-looking internet and no announcements for the release of the first IPhone appeared on the net.
Hurry up, Mister Jobs, I want my App Store back. And I plan on watching live that legendary announcement.
I had some vague wish I could have the Faiz Phones and Drivers, at least, those things looked normal in this age, while in mine looked old-fashioned and oversized.
So I was stuck in this world… I think it would be correct to think of it as world, cause nothing I remembered happening in my memories had happened in here, or had other people doing it.
Those Kamen Rider wannabes made me want to throw up.
So I now walked to school, having taken directions from some passerby's I now stood in front of one of the biggest schools I'd ever seen, aside from my university, and if I wasn't reading this sign right (it was Japanese, but I could read it as if it was English) this was an elementary school. Hell take me, wonder how big their universities could be.
I saw lots of children alone or in pairs, where back home one could see the children's parents nearby; there were almost none of them in sight, made me wonder if it really was that safe in this country.
I saw some girls playing… soccer? In Japan? Huh, alternate realities certainly gave anyone a headache, what's next, magic, aliens and disguised WMD's?
So absorbed I was on my thoughts I didn't notice the soccer ball aimed toward my face.
And again, I was sent to unconsciousness for the third time in forty eight hours, this time, more way painfully.
"Ite… what the frak hit me?" I mildly swore, only to receive a bop to the head from an adult right in front of me.
"No swearing, Yuuki-kun, now hold still while I put a bad aid over that cut of yours." She spoke.
The one I now identified as a school nurse, finished treating whatever I had on my face, it still stung a bit, but it was bearable.
Now, on to find the little whelp that made this to… me..
I saw a familiar pigtailed brunette open the door accompanied by a blonde and a… purple haired girl.
No way, its Nanoha Takamichi and her friends! I was transported to her world!
…I should have somehow expected this kind of stuff. Really.
"Ah, Yuuki-kun! Sorry for hitting you!" the brunette bowed to me, along with her two friends. It made me blush a little, since the only girls kind to me had been my sister, and my ex, before she broke up with me to find some hotshot that ended dumping her at the end of the month.
But I remembered we were all nine, so this could all be simple politeness, being Japanese and all, except for the stereotypical American girl, made me realized why the nurse didn't ask about my hair or my eyes.
Anime worlds had their perks after all, huh.
So after meeting the trio, which had gotten my name from the school nurse, we went towards class.
Which now that I think about it…
I was a college freshman…
Back in elementary…
Hell take me.
So… it wasn't as bad as I'd thought, turns out it was more like I was back in junior high…
Which now that I think about it, it certainly showed how different the schooling was here and on the west, I don't think even high-class elementary schools back home taught geometry at third grade.
Turns out I was recovering from an illness that had me bedridden for a few months, I 'awoke' in my fifth day out of the hospital.
I didn't know what to feel about that.
I was asked what I wanted to be in the future by the teacher.
I chose to pull a card from Emiya Shirou in that moment.
"I want to be an Ally of Justice!"
That's what I said.
Of course no one knew I had the means to do so.
So, after I was scolded by the teacher about it not being a real profession and being laughed at by my classmates, I simply stood with a straight face after that as it hit me.
In here, in this world, I could be whatever I wanted, I had knowledge from a possible future, I was already a teenager (at least in mind) and now I think I have some of the most powerful artefacts in my possession.
Oh heck yes, this is so going to rock.
I was having lunch with the trio on the rooftop (which to my surprise, yes, it was available for students… Elementary students).
"You know, Yamato-kun, you should have taken the project more seriously." Suzuka Tsukimura told me. It really feels weird to have a nine year old taking to someone else about maturity.
"I'm quite serious, Suzuka-chan, Somehow in the future, I'll become an ally of justice!"
"What's with our group? Nanoha doesn't answer at all and Yamato gives a TV hero speech" Alisa Bannings, the American girl, showed an odd display of maturity, which now I was slowly getting used to.
"Aliza-san, you like machines and stuff, right?" I asked tentatively, I seemed I was friends with them from before I was hospitalized, but for the sake of it I couldn't remember how close we were.
I hoped I wouldn't mess up.
"Yeah, I think engineering would be nice"
"And Aliza-san will inherit her parent's company, won't you?"
"That is the plan…" the blonde trailed off.
"I think Aliza-chan and Suzuka-chan are more amazing for knowing what they want to do" the brunette, Nanoha, tells them with a sigh.
Oi, this talk is way too depressing for elementary schoolers…
Meh, must be a Japanese thing.
"Don't worry, Nanoha, Mom says everyone finds what suits them the best, if not, then it finds you" I paraphrased that quote, but I think it made her feel better. "But aren't you going to take over the Midori-ya?" a bit of knowledge of that café flowed into my mind. Even though I don't like sweets that much.
"Yeah... but I can't help but feel that there's something out there more suited for me, I just wish I knew what that is" oh Nanoha… you'll know soon enough…
If the title of the show is anything to go by.
"Ne, Yuuki (Hai?) why don't you just marry Nanoha and run the Midori-ya with her?" Suzuka butted in.
I wonder just how close this Yamato Yuuki was to Nanoha, to make people have that impression.
Even elementary schoolers.
"Yamato, hurry up!"
"Coming, coming…"
I walked along the girls home, as it seemed I had unknowingly take several shortcuts this morning, because only now I noticed how far the school was from home.
The girls had chosen to stray from the 'usual' path, taking a shortcut through the woods. I simply followed, as any protest I might have made would have fallen on deaf ears.
So once again, I was so absorbed in my thoughts that I didn't notice that one of them had stopped in the middle of the path until I bumped into her. It was Nanoha, and only now I could hear something…
"Please, Help…"
"Did you hear that?" she asked me.
"I think…"
And that's all I said before she took off into the woods.
"Oi, Nanoha! Matte!"
I chased after her, I think I heard the other two hearing us and joining the chase,
"It came from over there!"
I simply kept running.
"So… what was it that…"
"Yamato! Look at this poor thing here"
And I saw it, a little ferret, despite never having seen one before, I recognized it from the books my sister kept reading and leaving all over the house.
The other two girls arrived then, and immediately took notice of the injured animal.
"Ah! We need to take it to a hospital!" Aliza cried out frantically.
"Not a hospital, a veterinarian" Suzuka corrected her friend.
"There should be one around here" Nanoha supplied "That way!"
And so they took off again, I simply took out my IPhone and looked where they're going.
It was close enough, I simply walked there.
So, after getting the little rodent to the vet, the girls had taken a liking to it. I chose to simply stare at the familiar red jewel hanging from its neck.
Ah, magical partner-chan, thou hast shown thyself.
Heh.
So we went all to our houses, and I simply got home, got homework done (completely, a first, ironically, since elementary)
So I went to checking my stuff, feeling the Core Medals give off this… 'wild' feeling, the feeling called me to pursue my desires, be any means necessary, only the Purple and Poseidon Cores seemed to look towards something different, the former leaned towards finding the end, and the latter toward the destruction of all.
So I simply chose to stick with the normal cores, I found out I could put the cores inside of me as a Greeed could. Useful, since I didn't have someone to 'hand' me whatever cores I needed, I could also put the purple ones among the normal ones, but it seemed to cause me to feel sick having two opposites inside of me, so I chose to leave the Purple Cores in the briefcase.
"…elp…"
Ah, its time.
"So…one…hel…me"
I took one of each core, except for the Purple, Super and Poseidon Combo, I felt as they went inside my body, filling it with power, but I could also feel my senses dulling a bit.
Equivalent exchange it seemed.
"Hurry, someone come and help!"
Sheesh, for a ferret, you sure are bossy.
I took my OOODriver and jumped through the window, my Greed-ified body activating the Batta Medal for the jump, and changing it to the Cheetah medal for speed.
At last, it's ShowTime!
…
The voice guided me to the vet office (kind of obvious), the Cheetah Medal making me run faster than any normal human could hope to without breaking a sweat. The Taka Medal already helping me find that injured animal. The animal senses the Cores seemed to give me made me realized that the unnerving feeling coming from that vet office was not normal.
It had to be magical then.
I suddenly felt someone crashing into me.
"Oof! Oi…! Eh, Nanoha?"
She was one her pajamas and a jacket, I had something akin to a P.E. uniform, and my OOODriver in my pocket.
Further questioning was put on hold as the wall of the building exploded in pieces, I grabbed Nanoha and channeling again the Batta Medal, I jumped back, while using the Gorilla Medal to strengthen my arms and make sure not to leave Nanoha in the danger zone.
"Wait! We have to help it!" Nanoha cried as she struggled in my grasp, while the ferret played a deadly game of tag with the furry, blob-thing that'd destroyed the wall.
It ignored us in favor of the ferret, which in contrast looked at us and spoke.
"You actually came!" It sounded like a child, or at least, someone our current age.
"It talked, Yamato, it actually talked!"
"Yes, yes, can we focus in the fur-ball over there that's totally not looking at us with murder on its eyes?"
"Ah, that, you can't kill it, so you'll need to seal it"
"Seal it?"
"Yes!"
"Run now! Explain while running! Go! I'll distract it for a bit!"
"But Yamato!"
"But nothing, take the ferret and go!"
As she ran away, I stepped back slowly, I could feel its gaze on my, so now that Nanoha was out of sight, I pulled out my trump card.
"Saa, Showtime da!"
I put the O-Driver on my waist, and I saw as the belt formed, the O-Scanner on my right side and the little medal storage thingy on my left side. I could feel as three medals came out from my chest before I grabbed them from the air.
The familiar red, yellow and green medals shined in the night, as I put them on their respective slots. Red, Yellow and Green, the Driver gave off a pulsing sound as it shifted diagonally and activated.
The O-Scanner, gripped tightly on my right hand, gave the usual pulsing noises, and I adopted Eiji Hino's first pose.
Here goes nothing.
"HENSHIN!"
I passed the Scanner over the medals, three chiming noises answered and a wave of relief washed over me as I saw the three rows of medals moving right in front of me.
"TAKA!"
"TORA!"
"BATTA!"
"TA-TO-BA! TATOBA, TA-TO-BA!"
"Incarnation of Desire! I am Kamen Rider OOO!"
