"Hey, Mi-kun," said the little girl in white dress, with a white flower hat, looking at the view from a big tree at the field of flowers.
"What is it, A-chan?" said a certain little boy who is sitting on the grassy ground and wears white T-shirt and brown short pants with sneakers looking at the little girl, who is looking at the view with a smile, making that boy to blush a little.
"Um… hey, you do know that it'll be hard to see each other again since that you're moving tomorrow to another city, right?"
"Yeah, you told me that like a million times already, A-chan. My parents just got a new job there, so I guess I have to follow them since I'm their child after all."
"Aren't you going to miss me, then?" said the girl as that was about to cry.
"O-of course I'm gonna miss you! You're the first friend that I met and it's kinda sad to let you go…" said the boy as he looks away with a blush on his face, making the girl giggles at his reaction. He added," but don't worry! As long as there's the heart of the wind is within us, no matter how far we are, we'll always be connected by the whisper in the wind! That's what my dad used to tell me."
"Heart… of the wind?"
"Yeah! That's what I'm gonna believe in it! This way, we'll always be together for each other!" said the little boy who make the little girl blushes as he get the blush of his own.
"Um… then, let's make a pinky swear… when I returned back here and we meet again… I want you…" she said as she began to look at him with a little blush on her cheeks.
"Okay, I'm listening…" said the boy as he looks at her, waiting for something from the little girl to say something.
"Um, the next time we met again… I want you to—"

(Storm's Point of View)
As I opened my eyes from my sleep because of the sunlight enters my room and hits me in my closing eyes, I just simply sits up from my bed, looking at my alarm clock which indicates 7:45 a.m. and simply look back down, thinking of what I dream off just now as I placed my left hand on my face.
"That dream again, huh? How long was it since the day we made a promise like that, A-chan? 12 years? That's a long time for us to remember something like that, huh? Well, no matter what, I'm still waiting for you… just to fulfill the wish that we made on that time…" I said as I just simply rubbed my eyes and scratch my head. I moved back here in this city because I got study here for my diploma here. And since that I'm here, I don't know if she's even still here after all this years. I kinda forgot her last name though but no matter, I'm gonna keep waiting for her to come back.
"Well, better get ready for my class for today…" I just simply stood up from my bed and simply head to the bathroom. I took a glance on the picture of both of us when we were little on my table before heading to the bathroom. Such good memories at that time…

Chapter 10: Development - Element System
(Storm's Point of View)
(Insert song: Hungry Kitten from Black Cat OST)
On a fine day, during our recess, all of the riders are gathering at one of the large round table. This is a first for me because this feels like a serious meeting rather than a normal lunch…
"Ne,ne, Storm-nii-sama, say 'Ah' for me, please~!" said Akane-chan as she tried to feed me with a flower-shaped smiling sausage towards me.
"Um, no, thank you, Akane-chan. I already have my own meal, thank you very much…" I said while taking a bite on my favorite egg burger, declining her offer.
"Knowing this idiot, he only thinks and ate his own egg burger, no matter how hard you tried to persuade him," said Aqua-chan which seems that she's a little bit angry at me, considering that I sit between the twins, much to my surprise and I think I just attract more attention… in a bad way…
"Oh? Is that so, Storm-nii-sama?" said Akira-chan as he look at me with full of curiousity.
"Please remind me why did you two are studying here again. I mean, come on, you two look like that you guys are still from high school or something like that."
"We are." both of the twins said in unison, and Kazuma-kun spurts out his drink from his mouth to my face, much to my chargin…
"B-but how did you two enters this university, despite that you two are still from high school!" said Kazuma-kun in surprise tone. Yeah, I guess that's reasonable since he isn't from the same class, and he spends most of his time in the dojo.
"What's that supposed to mean, Kazuma-san? There are even some gifted people who can easily skip their grades and finished their studies at an early age. And even these twins can do that, you know?" said Melissa-san as she gives a little lecture on him.
"Well, we are studying from the top private school outside from this country. It was our father who recommanded for us," said Akira-chan while giving me a tissue to wipe my face from Kazuma's "sudden attack".
"And since we easily passed the entrance exam that was held from this university, we have no problem entering this place with ease. And since that you think of us… as your friend, Storm-nii-sama…" said Akane-chan with a little blush on her face.
"He always thinks of people around him as his friends, and some of them took it the wrong way," said Kazuma-san as he crossed his arms and nodded while saying that.
(End of Insert song)
"Well, anyway, since that all of the elements are here, I guess that we should be prepared for anything. We don't know when they'll strike again…" said Aqua-chan as she looks at us in a serious manner.
"All of the elements?"
"That's right. Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Light and Darkness. These are the main components that created other elements, hence that's why we called it lost Elements in the first place but now, with their new methods of spreading the power of Darkness via Dark Card, that's how the people of today calls it Infected. By gathering back all of the elemental riders which consists of the mentioned above, we all must fight and stop the plans of the Dark Void," she said in her teaching mode again…
"Dark Void?" said Kazuma-san and Melissa-chan, completely oblivious to the whole situation. I don't know whether I know about this things or not, but something tells me that I know most of the backstory of the appearance of the riders and such, as if… someone already told me about it…
"Dark Void? That's what our father mentioned once before as well," said Akira-chan as we all look at him, clearly that these two knows something.
"If it is about Dark Void, our father knows more about it since he himself told us that the reason that the previous Yami & Raito didn't appear in the last battle. He is also the one that has been entrusted the belt that we have now," said Akane-chan.
"That sounds a good idea to me! Let's get there after class, what do you say, my rival? Storm?" said Kazuma-kun as he looks at me while I was distracted about something.
"Oh? Okay, let's do that later on!"
(Aqua's Point of View)
"I can't wait to hear what does your old man has to say, you two! I'm all fired up!" said Kazuma-san as he walks at the front line of our group, walking like a boss I should say.
"By the way, Aqua-chan. I want to know something, do you know anyone who might remember helping you out during the battle?" said Melissa-san as she asked me to know something.
"I don't know anyone before I have this belt, other than my sister. I do know that the other 2 riders that never appeared on that battle were Yami and Raito."
"Come to think of it, father did mention that once. Maybe he can explain to us about it?" said Akane-chan as she said happily at me. I just want to know what happened to those 2 previous riders that never appeared. Come to think of it, I notice that Storm have been quiet about something since this morning. Before I have time trying to say to him…
"We're here!" said the twins in unison.
"Whoa, now that's a big building!" said Kazuma-san as he look at the long, tall building, complete with fully armed guards and when we entered the bulding, it looks like it is full of advanced technology.
(Insert Song: Onakasuita from T.A.M.N.I. OST)
"Ah, someone! Stop that robot for me!" said a man in white suit. His looks are in his 40s and all white hair is all over the place and a long mustache, wearing Hawaiian shirt with brown pants and black leather shoes, chasing a tall robot that has gone haywire and start attacking the guards.
"Not again, professor…" both of them said in unison as they transformed into Yami and Raito and they immediately went there and stop the machine by force. After a few minutes of battle, they managed to stop it but the robot seems took a lot of beating as they de-transformed back to normal. Is it okay for them to transform here, letting everyone that is inside the building seeing it?
"Oh, thank you so much for stopping it again! I don't know what's got into that robot…" said the professor as he is now looking at us. "I say, are those the chosen Element Riders that your father have been talking about?"
(End of Insert Song)
"Yep! You got that right! The name's Kazuma Heishiro, the Fire Rider known as Ryuu!" he said as he shakes his hand in his mighty way, making the professor's glasses tilted to the left because of that strong shake. Just how high is his spirit for today?
"I'm Melissa Loubard, the Gaia Rider. It's nice to meet you, sir."
"Yo! The name's Storm Ryder, and I'm a Wind Rider! And I like egg burger!" said from the quiet type back to the cheerful side of him, which makes everyone around him giggles on what he just said. I wish he was that quiet just now…
"And I'm Aquariu Myers. My element is water, which is Kamen Rider Mizu. You can call me Aqua for short."
"Myers? Where did I hear that name before?" said the professor as he tried to remember something. "Oh well, that doesn't matter… looks like all of the elements are here now, that's a good news to me! I'm Professor Kagaku Tameyo, the leading professor of the Element System that the twin's father and the president of this company, Katsuya Inayo."
"Element System? There isn't such system that exists before…" I said to catch his attention.
"Of course, Aqua-san. This is because this company just started 6 years ago, unknown to the outsiders, we know that a thing that called Dark Elements are trying to revive an old enemy of ours called Dark Void. Of course, some of you guys are already know about this, right?" said the professor as his glasses are shining, showing that his genius around this subject. I might know a few bits about it, but I need to know more what we are actually up against here.
"Now, the president is now waiting for all of you riders at the meeting hall. He is expecting you all to be there in time," said Kagaku as he made his way back to his lab, while the twins enters the lift, followed by us and we went up with it.
"Whoa, that's some scenery this is! I kinda like this place already!" said Storm as he takes a view from the lift which turns out that as we go higher, it is actually made of transparent glass, allowing us to view the outside of this building.
(At the meeting room, Normal Point of View)
"Father, we have arrived with the guest," said the twins as they hugged the man that was saved on the other day as the other riders enters the room and seated at a place where it has files on it.
"I presume that you all are the Riders that my children are talking about. Before we discuss, I would like to thank you all for that other day, especially you, Kaze," said Katsuya as he makes Storm blushes a little from that compliment.
"Back to the agenda, as you can see the files in front of you, it is all about the system that we developed from this company. It is called the Element System. Do you know why these 6 elements are chosen as the main elements than others?"
(Insert song: Whisper of Darkness from Fate/Hollow Ataraxia OST)
"Because they make it up for the rest of other elements, am I correct?" said Aqua, which the man nodded in agreement.
"Correct, and since that the final battle that occurs 5 years ago didn't kill the Dark Void and due to the absence of Yami & Raito, I suspect that he will return to this world to try claiming it. But, as long as we didn't know which rider has the "ultimate" form, he will be continued to revive until that form beats it. But now with the Element System, we are able to track down of whereabouts of battle occurs and what kind of Infected is what we up against and other information that is needed. This is where all of you Riders came into play."
"So, you're saying that you need our help to kick their butts and clean up the mess that they made?" said Kazuma as he crossed his arms, clearly thinking something about the whole Element System.
"That's the purpose of the Riders since the beginning. But don't worry about something that bothers you all. Not only that you can level up this way, but also with all the gadgets that we provided for you, I guess that it's a win-win situation for you all. I won't force you all to join this System, it is only an offer. Besides, you can't really rely on Kaze alone, am I right?" said Katsuya as he looks at him, clearly surprised on what he just said.
"True, we can't be there if we were apart from each other and might not be able to make it in time. Well, I guess for now, we'll join this Element System," said Aqua as she looks at the rest of the gang with a confident smile. They nodded in agreement as well, which pleases the twins and Katsuya.
(End of Insert Song)
"Now that it has been decided, my children will lead you all to the research lab." As soon as everyone began to leave the room, "Aquariu Myers... I'm sorry about your sister…" She stopped her tracks at the door and without facing him...
"It's okay, Katsuya-san. She knows what she had to do, and now I'll fulfill my role as a Rider. I'll make sure her sacrifice is not in vain." Aqua walks out from the meeting room and followed others.
(Kazuma's Point of View)
(Insert song: Carnival from Hana Kimi Soundtrack)
"Welcome to the laboratory! I received the command from our president and we will provide you with the gadgets that were available for you all! And before we started, may I see the E-Scanner that the 4 of you have, to confirm my suspicions?" said the cheerful dude as I was amazed on how BIG is this place is! Without hesitation, in split second, I showed my device with no problem at all.
"This is a good thing after all, huh, Akane-nee-sama?" said the male twin that's standing next to me.
"Yeah, we haven't entered this section before because of what father told us not to enter here unless all of the Riders are assembled. I guess it's worth it, Akira-nii-sama," said the female twin.
"Yep, these are real for sure. Well, with this, I got no problem providing you guys with some assistance. Oh yeah, I bet that all of you just tired of walking all the way from school. I know, we've provided you with a ride for you all! Scientists, will you please reveal curtain number 1?" said from the cheerful to gone mad professor as the other scientist opens up the curtain and reveals a bike from it.
"No way!? That's Kawasaki Ninja ZX-7R, they are quite a rare view these days!" No way… did I just see his eyes are glowing as bright as a star all of the sudden? And how did he get there so fast...?
"Why, yes! We have modified it just a little bit so that not only it will be used for your battles, but also for everyday chores of your casual days too!" said Prof. Kagaku as he looked behind him, not only the bike is missing with those black lines keep blinking on the object, so does Storm without noticed by other scientists as well. I can already feel the aura made by Aqua-chan that's going to kill him somehow… and the only thing that me, Melissa and the twins can do is just sigh over his actions…
"Oh, don't worry about it! It was provided for you anyways, so you also need this radar as well to track down an Infected, just in case that he is nowhere to be found that is…" he handed the round-looking machine, which is small enough to fit inside the pocket… kinda reminds me of a cartoon show where it locates some sort of Dragon Balls, if I remember correctly…
"Well, if there is anything you like to ask, feel free to do so!"
"Yeah, why does a warning sign on the screen pops out of nowhere means?" I said as I pointed at the screen.
"Whoa? An Infected is already appeared?"
"Either the Wind tells him to go there or it was some dumb chance that he's accidentally met up with them…" said Aqua-chan which she looks a little bit annoyed than normal as we nodded in agreement to what she said.
"But, I don't know how to ride a motorcycle before… not even a license," said Melissa-chan.
"Oh, don't worry, Gaia Rider! I'm sure that you'll get used to these bikes! Besides, we have already provided the motorcycle license for you all and the bike have automatic system for those who can't ride it yet! I'm sure it will be handy for you all!" said Kagaku as he seems to dancing round and round and round… didn't he get dizzy by just spinning around like that?
(End of Insert song)
"Well, we can't let him have all of the EXP by himself, so let's catch up!" said Akira-chan as all of us transformed into our Rider Forms and took off with our new bikes as well. Looks like I don't have to worry about transportation anymore!
"Now the world is in your hands, Riders. We can only support you with our gadgets but you all must decide on what will you do next. Please don't let the past haunts you, Aquariu Myers…" said Katsuya as he looks out from his transparent wall to outside, seeing them off.
TO BE CONTINUED
NOW IT'S TIME FOR KAMEN RIDER KAZE FUN FACTS!
Kagaku: *spinning round and round like a ballet dancer to enter the scene* Helloooo~ viewers! My grand debut is FINALLY APPEARED! That's right, I, Professor Kagaku Tameyo will be doing some review for today~
Miyuki: Ara~ may I tag along with you for today?
Kagaku: *points my finger at her* W-who are you, woman? This is supposed to be MY day! I can do this thing alone.
Miyuki: I'm bored and the author of this story haven't make my appearances in this story for quite a while... *sigh*
Kagaku: Hmph, fine! I don't care one bit!
Miyuki: Ara, thank you~! So, what will be the question of the day is, Kagaku-san~?
Kagaku: The question of the day is- THIS! *picks up a letter out of nowhere* Hmm, let's see here. What is compressed form?
Miyuki: Well, do you know the answer to that problem~?
Kagaku: OF COURSE! *teaching mode* Compressed form is the next level of their previous form. As Aqua-chan said before, every element have different characteristics, like you've seen Kaze's new form into Arashi! But who knows? Maybe there are other Riders that will transform as well, or could it be that some of the Rider's compressed form can be compressed more? Or could they have reached the mythical "Ultimate" form! Oh, this is INTERESTING! *spinning around*
Miyuki: *dozed off*
Kagaku: O=O" She's asleep... at this time?
Miyuki: *wakes up* Is it over already? Oh yeah, here's a letter from the author as well here~. *hands it over to him*
Kagaku: Let's see what's it saying!
From the author,
Hi there, I know I haven't been update this story lately... well, same old, same old I guess. But as I said before in the previous chapter, on the next chapter, there will be a new opening theme for Kamen Rider Kaze. And I apologized for not having some fighting scenes on this one. One more thing, can I ask you viewers what kind of Kaijin should I put on the next chapter? I'm already out of ideas. That's all I guess... ^^"
Both: ... *silence and a cricket sound*
Miyuki: Ara~ looks like I'm gonna go home and get some sleep already~ later~~!
Kagaku: *torn the letter and throw it away* Until next time! Goodbye!
Storm: Um, Professor, is it ok to untie us now? ^^"
Aqua: Seriously, he don't have to do this far... I hope he doesn't do anything stupid the next time he does this... -_-*
