Author's Note:

OKAY! I know some people are a little confused with this story. SO JUST A REMINDER! This story is a mixer of two shows, Vampire Diaries and Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight. I'm trying to bring fantasy and sci-fi together in this story. SO THERE WON'T BE ANY DELENA/LELENA GOING ON IN THIS CHAPTER. THIS CHAPTER IS TO BRING YOU UP TO DATE SO YOU DON"T GET LOST! For all those who don't watch Kamen Rider: Dragon Knight. Len is played by a major hottie, Matt Mullins. Master Eubulon is played by Mark Dacascos. Kase is played by Cassie Reichenbach and Kit/Adam is played by Stephen Lunsford. The main cast from both shows will be incorporated in to the story. So if you have no idea about the cast of KRDK and what they look like. Please look them up. I'm very bad with descriptions, but I do try.

Chapter IV

General POV

Elena spent the first three months in California going to school and making friends, being a normal person. But it seemed "normal" was never to be a part of Elena's life again. One day she was on her way back to her dorm, when the Advent Master approached her and offered her a "job". He wanted Elena to join the Kamen Riders.

The Kamen Riders were a group of soldiers that were given advent decks to help them fight against the wicked General Xaviax. General Xaviax was imprisoning humans that his monsters/minions abduct to gain power and rebuild his homeworld, Karsh as he did to the people of Ventara. Ventara is a world opposite to our own.

An advent deck is a special card deck that allows the carrier to transform into a Kamen Rider and utilize unique weapons and powers The advent decks were only made for one person, and that only a person with an exact DNA match as the original Ventaran rider can use it, unless the deck was re-assigned and only the Advent Master can only re-assign them.

The Ventaran riders were the original Kamen riders. All fourteen Riders, except for Cleo, a Kamen Rider Siren who had left the riders many years before, banded together as the protectors of Ventara to take Xaviax down. Eubulon, the Advent Master fought Xaviax before over sixty years ago on Ventara and then went missing after Xaviax was then believed to be defeated.

After Master Eubulon disappeared, all the riders went into suspend animation, except for one who would stand guard for one year, before another rider would take over. However, due to the traitorous actions of Kit, Kamen Rider Dragon Knight's predecessor, Adam. While on guard he led General Xaviax into the base and destroyed most of the Riders, via a process called venting, which traps defeated riders in the "Advent Void" between dimensions forever and stole their Advent Decks, with exception of Wing Knight and Siren who managed to escape.

Since Ventara is the mirror world of Earth, the fight against Xaviax has become much more difficult. Since the Decks were designed to work with only one person, each deck only functions again when given to humans on Earth that are "mirror twins" of their Ventaran counterparts, with matching DNA. Xaviax tricks the Earth riders to become his riders and fight to eliminate all the other riders who oppose him, by promising them whatever they want.

Master Eubulon was eventually found here on Earth in a coma by the No-Men and was put into a cryogenic freeze. The No-Men are a secret organization within the government. The No-Men and the riders work together to fight against Xaviax. Len, who serves as Kamen Rider Wing Knight, uses his Advent Deck to awaken Eubulon.

To access the powers, the chosen deck wielder holds the Advent Deck carrier in front of them to activate a burst of energy that creates the Advent Belt holder for the deck while calling out the words "Kamen Rider". The deck is then inserted in the belt and spins, further activating a pair of rings that surround the bearer and creates the armor for the specific Kamen Rider. The energy emitted from those rings can be used to repel others away while transforming. Each Kamen Rider has a special sense that can detect Mirror Monsters and other Kamen Riders and, in some extent, their condition. The decks also give the Riders the ability to travel from one place to another instantly by traveling through any mirror or reflective surface and traversing the mirror world to end at their intended (or at times unintended) destinations, be it in their Rider armor or human form. They can also travel with other humans or push them through a reflective surface to the other world as long as they keep in contact with them while traveling. If either side of the mirror is blocked or destroyed, they cannot travel through that mirror. Riders usually travel through the dimensions with a specialized motorcycle parked in between the dimensions called an Advent Cycle. A Rider may also travel with their own motorcycle which, upon transforming, will change the motorcycle's appearance as well.

The Kamen Riders are assisted by their own Advent Beast. A Rider starts off at a blank form, a colorless, generic armor with limited abilities and lack of any real power. Once a Mirror Monster is confined via their contract cards, it forms a contract with the Rider who captured it. This changes the Rider's armor, abilities and Advent Cards based on the Advent Beast confined. Because of the nature of the contract, once it is established, a Rider cannot simply quit being a Kamen Rider because as it constantly calls the Riders back to fight monsters and protect the people and only Eubulon can unlock the decks.

The Advent Beasts support their human partners through the Advent Decks, usually appearing when an Attack Vent or a Final Vent is used. The Riders use their powers to battle either the Mirror Monsters or each other. Each card can be slotted into a device, referred to as a Visor, the Rider uses to access a "Vent" attack or ability such as Sword Vent, Strike Vent or Copy Vent. Most equipment based cards are based on that Rider's respective Advent Beast for example Dragon Knight's Sword Vent is based on Dragreder's tail. Each Rider has his own deck designed for that Rider only, even if a Rider slots a card belonging to another Rider, it still goes to the card's owner rather than the one who slotted it. Each Rider possesses a card to summon their respective Contract Monster (Attack Vent) and another card for their Final Vent, a devastating attack that involves using the Advent Beast's power to finish off their opponent. Depending on the power of the attack and the strength of the target, the opponent may either be just defeated, or the attack can possibly "vent" them.

Should a Rider become vented, their respective Advent Beast goes with them. The Advent Beast then can only return if the contract card is reactivated. A vented Kamen Rider and Advent Beast are sent directly to the Advent Void, a world between the mirrors where they are trapped and are never seen again, leaving only their Advent Deck behind. The Advent Void was designed as a failsafe in case a Rider has been badly damaged leaving them there to recover until Eubulon could retrieve them, this allows them to fight without having to worry about being taken out physically. However, since Eubulon was inactive, the Advent Void ended up trapping Riders rather than simply saving them thus making the war thus far a fight for survival. But even on Master Eubulon's return, it was discovered that unfortunately during Eubulon's fight with Xaviax, the void key was damaged badly and Master Eubulon won't be able to bring back any of the Ventaran Kamen Riders from the advent void until it is fully fixed, if it can be.

In addition to their normal cards in their Advent Deck, one more powerful card can be used called Survive. This allows the Riders to use the powerful Survive Mode. With it, they acquire new armor, new Visor Slots and new cards to accommodate the new form. However, it uses too much energy and therefore, a Rider cannot access the Survive Mode for too long. As a result, it is used in emergencies and taken out of the deck beforehand. But as result of Adam's betrayal, Kase a Kamen Rider Siren only manages to obtain the Survive cards for Dragon Knight and Wing Knight before initially escaping Xaviax. Thus Dragon Knight and Wing Knight are the only Riders who can use Survive Mode.

Also Riders experience a phenomenon referred to as the rage of the Advent Beast which, if left untamed, can give a Rider nightmares.

So I hope you all enjoyed and don't worry I'm working on the next chapter right now! I will try to update soon!
