Hello everyone! Zer0p00l here with Chapter 2 of Neo, but I didn't write it this time. That goes to hibikizerorider22, I mostly edit it and typed it here my way. So Enjoy!


Chapter 2

"On your left." Ed said in his masked form, jogging past the man who had formerly tazed him. "On your left." he repeated going past him again. "On your left." he repeated yet again but was tripped by the man before passing him.

You're a Kamen Rider now, Ed!" The man shouted at Ed as he was dangerously closeto falling. "Start acting like one!"

This morning

Ed's eyes snap open as he finds himself on a carpet floor. "Damn... My head..." He groans as he sits up and examines his surroundings. "Where the hell am I?" It seems like an office room modified to be a handmade monitoring room. There are five monitors and one seems to show the news.

"Local antique store owner claims monsters destroyed his business." The anchorman informs his viewers. "Some say he has crumble his shop for the insurance. Others says because of his age, he had a series of hallucinations to the point that he is currently being examined by professionals.

Cords and wires littered the floor and in the middle of it all was the man who knocked him out, seeming to be the reason he is there. "Finally awake."

"You again!?" Ed says as he quickly jumps up to his feet and reach for the belt he had on before to find it is gone from his waist.

The man holds it to him "Looking for this, Neo." he says

"Neo? What are you talking about? Who are you" Ed questions him

"I"m talking about you and this driver. I'm Devaughn." The man informs Ed. "And I'm going to be your new best friend."

Now

"Yeah, well being the thing I DON'T EVEN KNOW, is the hard part." Ed says, regaining his balance.

Devaughn lets out a sighs "Let me explain," He clears his throat before continuing, "Kamen Riders are..." He is then interrupted by a sudden ringing of a cell phone.

Ignoring Devaughn's lecture entirely, Ed answers the call. "Hello? Oh, I'll be right there!" Ed said while deactivating the belt and running off.

"Hey where are you going!?" His new friend shouted as he gave chase. The two had made their way to a crowded church. "Whats going on?" He whispered questionably.

"My friend's sister is getting married." Ed answers as he hid the belt. A girl with lightly brown hair walk towards them.

"Ed!" she yells excitedly and hugs him. She then looks at Devaughn and tilts her head. "Who's this?" she asked.

Introducing himself, "I'm Devaughn, I guess you can say I'm Ed's coworker" He explained as he shook the girl's hand.

"I'm Amber." She introduce her in return. "Wait... I thought the shop was..." A sudden crash cut her statement off and the silenced the whole event. The trio rush to see the commotion in front of the crowd of relatives and friends. They find themselves encountering a familiar man with trashed clothing standing on the stage, littered by stained glass fragments.

"Glass Shatter!" he roared in front of the large gathering of people. The shards of glass begin to be drawn to him until they are embedded to his body, forming the creature that Ed once destroyed. The new source of his power source seems to increase his strength as he start firing a barrage of glass shards into the crowd. The people start to panic and stampede to the front of the church.

Ed quickly takes out his belt and driver. "I thought I killed that thing! How is it back!?" He attempts to swing the belt around his waist but is suddenly pushed to the ground by some of the fleeing people, resulting on him dropping the belt before beginning his transformation. The chaos allowed his driver to be carried by the stream of escaping people.

"Shit." Devaughn says in a slight panic as he tries to maneuver through the frightened people while keep eyesight on the belt. Keeping his head, so none of the glass soaring through the air could cause deadly damage to that part of him. Unknown to him, the flow of glass stopped when the shattered spotted Ed in the crowd.

"You! Kamen Bastard!" The monster said while readying an attack just for Ed.

"Ed!" Amber shouted as a large wave of glass comes towards him, almost ignoring the ones around him.

Suddenly the belt slides a few feet away to Ed's left, he rolls to the side evading the attack and catch the belt. Quickly, he place it around his waist. "Rider Up!" The mechanical voice welcomes it's master as it activates while three beep can be heard from it.

Devaughn grabs Amber's arm. "You need to come with me. It isn't safe." He warns her.

"But we have to help Ed! That monster is going to kill him!" She yells trying to get out of his grasp

Devaughn drag her to the exit. "He'll be fine..." He saids as he looks at Ed for a second. "Have some faith in him." He attempts to reassure her as they escape the with everyone else.

"Henshin!" Ed shouts, pressing the same button from before. A ring of light intersected another attack from the wedding crashing beast. The ring split in half, moving in the opposite directions and forming armor from Ed's head to toe. "I broke you last time," Ed says cracking his gloved fingers "I'll do it again." Finishing with him prepared for the fight.

"I've gotten stronger since the shop. Defeating me this time will be no easy task, Rider!" The Shattered informs his opponent as his hands take the shape of blades. "JUST LAY DOWN AND DIE ALREADY!" He rush towards Ed with a murderous look to his eyes. Ed beings to dodge the attacks and try quick punches to his enemy's head but has proven worthless. The shatter slash him across the chest causing sparks off his armor and him on his knee. Before Ed could get back on his feet, a wall of glass sends him flying over the multiple benches in the center of the church until he seems engulfed by them. "Pathetic little insect." The Shattered taunts as he lunge to the spot his prey landed in, only to find the Rider was gone. "Running won't save you!" He begins to tear apart the benches and search for his target.

"KICK HOPPER!" The belt announced it's location behind the Shattered. "RIDER JUMP!" Ed leap in the air, sending a large pile of benches in the air and prepares to deliver a mighty dive kick to the creature's head. He instead was countered by a large glass shard to his chest and sparks causing him to slam into the ground back first.

Ed gasps and winced, "Oh man... If it wasn't for for this armor... I'd be dead." Ed thinks to himself and quickly gets up.

"I won't be defeated!" The Shattered tells the recovering Ed and then laughs. "I've killed many more than you, Foolish Rider!" He says triumphantly and rush at Ed to deliver a devastating blow. His last phase plays in Ed's head and the Shattered finds his attack stopped by Ed's left arm in the way of it's elbows then a large impact to it's stomach. It looks down to see Ed's right fist making a large crack on his glass armor.

Ed looks right at the Shatter. "How many have you killed?" Ed asks as his enemy jumps back and heals it's own wound. "How many?! Tell me!" Ed's visor change to a neon red color as he interrogate the blood-thirsty monster.

"Lets just say that killing a thousand a month is too little for me." The Shattered answered confidently. "Same for all my kind. Whether if it was for food or sport, it doesn't matter."

"Then I'll just crush all of you and protect everyone you try to hurt!" Ed states in a heroic tone as the button on his driver that he pushed to transform into his masked form, changed colors to match his visor. He push the button again, which change the whole driver's color scheme.

"Rider Recognized: Neo!" the red driver informs them as Ed's visor lifts up and folds to form antennas on his helmet. Two joints on the side of his helmet began to fold down forming a grasshopper-like mouth, while the eyes of a grasshopper form with black lines intersect on themselves in the eyes, replacing the visor.

"A simple face change is pointless at this moment" The Shatter informs him but before doing anything, Ed place his foot on it's chest.

"Rider Jump." Ed says in a calm manner.

"Rider Jump!" His driver repeats as a green pulse of energy sends the shatter flying into a wall. Ed's armor begins to slim down and lines form along the armor towards a vent in his shoulder. A red fiery scarf form from the energy.

"I am Kamen Rider Neo!" Ed shouts as he reveals his Rider's true form. He then removes the Kick Hopper battery from his driver and replace it with another one.

"Battle Ready!" The driver announced as Neo pressed down on another button.

"Rider Punch." Neo declares as he place the battery in a slot on his right arm.

The Shatter laughs "You don't get it, do you!" He taints Neo again. "You will never be able to get rid of me!"

Neo looks right at the shatter while sparks emits from his fist, sending chills down the shatter's spine. "I've already found your weakness." Neo reveals as he unleash the punch into the Shatter's chest. "100% Rider Punch!" Neo roars as red cracks appears along the hole in his opponent's chest.

"You... destroyed... my core..." The Shatter noticed in a surprised reaction as his body starts to crumble away. Neo pulls out his arm from his defeated enemy. The Shatter laughs, "You can't stop the Shattered! We cannot be stopped!" It shouts as Neo turns around and walks away. It laughs at him one last time until it starts to scream and explodes, leaving nothing left. Neo makes his way outside of the wrecked church, removing his belt and driver.

"Ed! That was awesome!" Amber says, hugging him.

"So you've finally defeated that thing?" Devaughn asks and Ed nods his head.

"I understand what a Kamen Rider is now." Ed says understandingly while handing Devaughn the belt. "You could have told me about the battery being my only power source!" Ed shouted as he sighs.

Devaughn takes the belt. "Be more comservative with your battery then." He says as Ed grabs him by his shirt.

"What's that suppose to mean!?" Ed shouted. Amber grabs Ed's arm

"Come on, we have to get you a new job." Amber says while dragging him away, Ed sighs.

"I'll see you later, Devaughn." Ed says while walking away.

Elsewhere

"Ryuki, Kiva, Os, Wizard, Den-O, Ichigo, Hibiki, Kabuto, Fourze, Faiz" A shadow lists "These Riders we must stop at all cost." Two heavily armored tanks were shown as they were tossed aside, "Thankfully, we found a prime subject for the project to start." An image of a Rider wearing an arsenal of weapons appeared.

"I don't think our three would not like the competition" a ill elderly man says.
