Prelude - Tournament Kamen Rider.
Randall Kalish - Kamen Rider Leangle.

Money. Power. Respect. The three constants in Randall Stuart Kalish's life, taught to him by his very wealthy father. Randall grew up a bright child, top of his class in the private school his father picked out and a huge fencing standout. Life had been good to Randall, along with the many perks that wealth brought to the table: women, power and above all else, respect.
But eventually, Randall tired of the many brides his father wanted him to tie the knot with and ventured outside the walls of the Kalish Estate to meet new people who do not occupy the same place on the totem pole as Randall is on. A little village called Saagen Town awaited him. He ventured to the nightlife of the commoners and was introduced to Tomcat Samson, the town baker. He also met Chad Leiter, a young man who would remain Randall's friend for many years.
Through Chad, Randall got acquainted with Chad's sister Catherine. They watched a movie together one night and Randall ended up falling in love with this downtown girl. He introduced her to his father back at the Kalish Estate and Randall's father was proud of the boy for making his own decision. Their love grew and Randall splashed his money on Catherine. He also generously paid for Chad when Chad went down with an ankle injury. It was through Chad that Randall's love for nu-metal music was born, as was Chad's nickname 'Phoenix'.
He took a few classes at the local school, but found he didn't fit in at all, so he quit that. Randall met with Nero Samson & Taryse Evans, two of Chad's friends and the four hung out occasionally. Randall graduated his fencing class in this time and moved on to training to use a Bo.
The friendship between Chad & Randall became sour months later.
Randall had done something stupid spending one night with Catherine (let's just say he didn't use protection) and the couple were hit by a pregnancy scare. Randall decided to gut it out and proposed to Catherine. Chad was the best man. Randall bought her gifts for the wedding, but didn't invite his father. Pre-wedding jitters got to Randall and he left Catherine waiting at the altar.
Randall had retreated back to the Kalish Estate.
Chad was angry and wanted blood. In fact, every rich person Chad came across in the future felt his wrath - the wrath that was reserved for Randall. Randall was unwilling to admit he was wrong the next time they met, almost leading to a physical altercation. Randall escaped the beating and drove home that night.

Because of his ties to the local high school, Randall's former science professor Jack Ryker offered him the chance to compete in Tournament Kamen Rider, for a substantial cash prize and the respect of millions of people. Randall said he would think about it and went to talk with his father with Jack offering to come speak to Randall's father as well. But any hopes of talking to Randall's father were dashed as the Kalish Estate was under attack by a group of monstrous creatures known as Worms and Randall's father was knocked into a coma by the leader. Enraged, Randall vainly tried to subdue the Worms, but was knocked back.
Jack threw to Randall a gold-and-purple device known as the Leangle Buckle along with a card bearing the image of a spider with the Ace of Clubs on its back. Randall opened a slot on the device and inserted the card. A purple belt expanded around his waist and a tune began to play. Randall moved the buckle to reveal the Ace of Clubs in the center.
Open Up!
A purple projection shot out in front of Randall and it moved over him, revealing the Kamen Rider Leangle suit. Randall had transformed into a Kamen Rider. With his newfound power and the Leangle Rouser staff weapon, Randall put his Bo training to good use and mopped the floor with the Worms, before finishing their leader off with his Rider Kick, the Blizzard Crush.
Randall found out it was going to cost a lot of money to pay for his father's treatment and that some redtape was preventing him from using his fortune to pay for it. With the cash prize of the tournament more than enough to cover the cost, Randall accepted Jack's invitation to join the tournament.

Randall walked through the night, watching every step behind him while watching every step in front of him. He knew he was being watched and/or followed. He could feel the stone cold air brush across his back and it was terrible.
No! No time for terrible feelings. Gotta' keep moving. Got to be faster. Got to be stronger. Got to be the winner of the tournament. For his father's sake. He stopped dead in his tracks as the entity that had been following him had halted his movement.
Open Up!
Kamen Rider Leangle moved at breakneck speeds, taking down this Undead monster with a powerful clothesline technique before equipping himself with the Leangle Rouser. The staff extended and the bladed ring at the top popped into three rings, in a club formation. Leangle swung for the Undead's head and hit the mark.
"Let's see how powerful you really are when you're on my side!"
Leangle reached into his card holder and pulled out two Rouse Cards: Blizzard Polar & Bite Cobra. He passed them through the Leangle Rouser's card reader.
Bite... Blizzard... BLIZZARD CRUSH!
Leangle dropped his weapon to the floor and thrust his fist out. Ice emanated from the fist, causing the Undead to freeze solid. Leangle then twisted himself through the air and finished off the Undead with his devastating scissors kick. Leangle landed and noticed the Undead's seal had burst open. Leangle retrieved a blank Rouse Card.
"Category Seven, huh? You will make a fine addition to my administration." Leangle taunted before dropping the blank into the Undead's broken seal. This caused the Undead to be forever trapped in the blank.

"Master Kalish, your private jet is ready." An aide told him.
"Are all my debts paid for while I'm gone?" He asked.
"Guaranteed, sir." The aide replied.
"Good. I'm going to Shantontown then." He smiled. He walked over to the table and retrieved his Leangle Buckle before setting off for his jet.

Randall found out that Chad and his friends were going to be competing as well. It was time for him & Chad to hash out their differences on the battlefield.
