It was another boring Monday morning for Danny as he and Tucker headed to school. Danny and his family made it back home at about three in the morning. With their infinite wisdom, Jack and Maddie sent their kids to school as soon as it was time to go to school. The sibling complained on the grounds that they barely had any sleep due to their father's driving. Sadly, their claims fell on deaf ears and were sent to school. Jazz had some coffee and drove to school while Danny met up with Tucker to walk.
"You alright dude?" asked Tucker as he looked over his friend.
"I'm tired as Hell and I'm walking to school after coming home at three in the freaking morning. Take a guess," snapped Danny as he tried to keep himself awake.
"Sorry for asking dude. You don't need to get all snappy on me," muttered Tucker as he looked straight ahead.
"No it's okay Tuck. It's not your fault, it's my nut job parents for making Jazz and me go to school with so little slee…..," apologized Danny before he passed out. He hit the ground fairly hard and slept right on the spot.
"Danny? Danny?" said Tucker as he tried to shake his friend awake. "Oh man," he whined as he dragged his best friend towards the school since they were only a few yards away.
A few hours later, Danny woke up to find himself in the Ms. Katrina's office. He was on the bed with Katrina at her desk. He slowly got himself up and yawned after having a little rest. Katrina looked up from her desk and smiled at Danny.
"Good morning sleepy head," greeted the school nurse.
"Morning, I guess," replied Danny as he sat up. "How did I get here?" he asked in confusion.
"Oh your friend Tucker brought you here," answered Katrina.
"Tucker brought me to your office, that's nice," commented Danny. He let that sentence sink into his mind for about ten seconds. "Wait a minute. Tucker brought me into your office?" repeated Danny in the form of a question.
"Well, technically he brought you to my door and ran off as soon as I got to my office. At least he got you here rather than carry you all the way home," replied Katrina. "Right now I like to know what happened to you," she added as she grabbed a thermometer.
"Oh right, well Jazz and me just got back from our parents' college reunion in Wisconsin at three in the morning. We tried to get some sleep, but our parents decided to work on their Ghost Portal as soon as they got home. So the two of us didn't get any sleep and we were sent to school today," explained Danny.
"Wisconsin? Didn't get home until three A.M? And they sent you two to school?" repeated Katrina.
"Yeah, that about sums it up," answered Danny.
"Danny, I want you to stay here and get some rest. I'll call for your sister and see how she's doing. I'll also inform your teachers that you'll be here resting for the time being," ordered Katrina.
"Thanks Katrina," replied Danny as he went back to sleep.
Meanwhile, Tucker was having lunch by himself since Danny was in the nurse's office passed out. He ate his food slowly for once, instead of inhaling it like he usually does. The reason is unknown to even his friends Danny and Sam, but Tucker is actually scared of being in the school by himself. His two best friends are also his safety nets for surviving high school. He would never admit it, but he admires Danny for being able to stick up for him when no one else did. He remembered how Danny defended him in kindergarten from Dash and Kwan.
Many years ago
At the playground behind McFadden Elementary young Tucker was trying to get his favorite red hat back from Dash and Kwan. The two miniature bullies were tossing the hat back and forth over poor Tucker's head. Dash was quite round in the middle while Kwan was very skinny and tall compared to most of the other kids.
"Ah is little Tucky gonna cry?" teased Dash as he threw the hat over Tucker's head.
"Give it back!" yelled Tucker.
"Why don't you make us geek?" taunted Kwan as he caught the hat and threw it back to Dash.
"Give it!" pleaded Tucker starting to have tears out of the corners of his eyes.
"Leave him alone you two," called out a young voice.
The two bullies turned to look at who interrupted them. It was a boy around their age with black hair and blue eyes. He wore a white T-shirt, blue shorts, and red running shoes. He stared at the two bullies straight in the eyes. Dash was the first to speak to the new comer.
"Whose gonna make us? You?" taunted Dash as he advanced to the boy with Kwan right behind him.
"I will if you don't stop," replied the boy.
The next thing the boy knew Dash shoved him and Kwan caught him. Then the round boy started to hit him. Tucker was scared as he saw the boy get hit repeatedly and didn't try to move. As soon as it happened the teacher was being led to them by a small girl with black hair and wearing a purple shirt and black shorts. The teacher pulled Dash and Kwan away from the boy and dragged them back into the classroom to be punished. Tucker and the girl walked up to the boy and helped him up.
"Are you okay?" asked Tucker.
"Yeah I'm okay. Here's your hat," answered the boy as he returned Tucker's hat.
"Thanks," replied Tucker as he put his hat back on. "I'm Tucker, what's your name?" he introduced himself to the boy.
"I'm Danny and this is Sam," introduced the boy as he pointed to himself and the girl.
"Sam? That's a boy's name," commented Tucker.
"I don't like being called Samantha," said Sam.
"Okay how about Sammy?" asked Tucker.
His answer was a stomp on the foot by Sam.
End of Flashback
'To think it's been that long since I met Danny and Sam,' thought Tucker as he finished his food. 'And ever since Danny's been taking all that abuse from Dash just so he wouldn't go back to picking on me. He's always been there for Sam and me, and what do I do? I hang back and let him go through with that abuse,' he continued to think about his friend.
He headed towards the double doors and left the cafeteria heading for the nurse's office, very slowly. He continued on until he heard the sound of the mirror world. He quickly changed direction and headed to the nearest boy bathroom. He noticed that Mr. Technus was also heading there as well. They both entered the bathroom and walked towards the mirrors. The two pulled out their deck and placed them in front of the mirrors.
"Raia," said Technus as he donned his armor.
"Knight," called out Tucker as he too donned his armor.
The two looked at each other and jumped into the mirrors and entered the other world.
Inside the mirror world, the two Rider where in Ride Shooters heading towards the movie theater. They dismount and saw the monsters around the building. It was a large group of gazelle type monsters. It wasn't a small group either it was huge; there was enough of them to make an army. Tucker had never seen these monsters before since he's still fairly new to being a Masked Rider. There were some blue humanoid gazelles with drill-like antlers wielding staffs with two spear tips similar to their antlers. There were some golden gazelles with teal armor along with curved antlers holding strange swords that look like pincer claws. He saw some green ones with brown armor and long brown horns that were curled away from their heads, but the points of their horns got close to each other from behind their heads. He also saw some white ones with large antlers that resemble the horns of water buffalo. The last group of these gazelle-like monsters were blue bulky armored ones with antlers similar to a bull's horns.
"Uh….. Mr. Technus how do we handle this?" asked Tucker in fear. They were severely out numbered.
"Just take down as many as you can Tucker," answered Technus as he opened his small shield, the Evil Visor. He put in a card and closed the visor.
SWING VENT
At that command, he caught the whip weapon that his monster, Evildiver gave him. His weapon was a designed after Evildiver's tail and it looked very similar to the tail piece on the back of his helmet. Tucker followed suit by opening his sword's guard, the Dark Visor and placed a card in.
TRICK VENT
Soon enough, two copies of Tucker appeared from behind him. As it stands for Tucker this was his favorite card so far. The gazelle monsters heard the weapons being called out and turned to look at Tucker and Technus. One of the green gazelles let out a roar and the whole herd charged towards the two Riders.
Raia swung his whip, the Evil Whip at one of the brown gazelle monster that tried to stab him with its strange sword. He knocked the weapon out of the monster's hand and threw a spinning back kick to its stomach. The humanoid gazelle collided with two of the drill antlered gazelles. The three fell to the ground as a white one jumped over them to go after Raia. The white gazelle tackled Raia to the ground as two other heavy gazelles started kicking the Rider after the white one got off of him.
For Knight, he used his copies to attack one of the green gazelles. One copy attacked from the right by slashing at the beast's shoulder. The second copy went with a stab at the gazelle's back. Meanwhile, the real Knight performed a two handed downward chop with his sword. However, one of the heavy blue gazelles got between the Rider and the white monster. It back-fisted the young Rider and sent him flying backwards. Then, the two copies were taken out by two drill gazelles wielding their spears. The two monsters impaled the copies. The four monsters advanced on the down Knight who managed to pull a card out and insert it into his Dark Visor.
NASTY VENT
With that command Knight's monster, Darkwing flew overhead and let loose a high pitch screech at the gazelles advancing towards his master. Knight used this to his advantage to get some distance and pulled out another card.
SWORD VENT
Soon his weapon the Wing Lancer appeared as he managed to catch it. Of course he nearly dropped it, but he managed to grab it in time. Then he pulled out another card hoping to get what he wanted.
FINAL VENT
Now Knight ran towards the monsters with Darkwing behind him. Suddenly, the large bat latched onto his back and his wings became a long flowing cape. Knight jumped high into the air as the cape turned into wings for a second. Then the cape wrapped itself around Knight who pointed his Wing Lancer towards his feet. Knight came down to the ground like a large black spinning drill. The two drill gazelles fled along with the white gazelle, but the heavy blue one crossed its arm to shield itself. The spinning Rider collided with the monster like a missile. The two exploded on contact, but Knight came out of it unharmed as Darkwing feasted on the light that once was the heavy gazelle.
As for Raia he managed to get a card inserted into his Evil Visor and shut it.
ADVENT
Suddenly, his partner Evildiver appeared flying out of an alleyway. He crashed into the three gazelles attacking Raia and knocked them away. Raia got back up and took out another card and inserted it into his visor.
FINAL VENT
Evildiver returned to his master who jumped onto his back. Rider and monster flew towards a green gazelle. The gazelle saw them and leapt into the air to tackle Raia from Evildiver's back. However, the attack failed because Evildiver raised himself up to crash into its head. The gazelle exploded into light as Raia jumped off of his monster's back. Evildiver flew up to the light and ate it.
The other gazelle monsters stared down the Riders, ready to ware them out with their attacks. Suddenly one of the drill gazelles left the battlefield, soon enough the other gazelles followed the retreating gazelle without question. Knight and Raia looked on in surprise at this behavior. Knight was confused as to why the whole lot of them would leave just because one of them decided to leave.
"Mr. Technus, what was that all about?" asked Knight as he looked at his mentor.
"I'm not sure, but it could be some form of cooperation. Much like soldiers leaving after being told to fall back," answered the magenta Rider.
"But who could be in charge of them?" questioned the younger Rider.
"I don't know, but we need to head back. We can't just stay here and have the rest of the school faculty wondering where we went," said Raia.
"Back to school!" whined Knight.
"Tucker, we may be Riders, but you are still a student. I'm your teacher and I won't have any of my students skipping classes just because a fight was occurring," scolded the teaching Rider.
The two Riders headed back to the Ride Shooters and returned to the Casper High of the mirror world. The two of them returned to their world in time for the last class of the day.
Meanwhile back at Katrina's office, Danny was waking up again. This time he saw his sister also in the office asleep on a chair. She seemed very peaceful sleeping over there without a care about missing her classes. Danny got out of the bed and went to his sister so he can move her to the bed. Katrina saw Danny wake up and noticed what he planned on doing. Without saying anything she helped Danny lift up Jazz and moved her onto the bed so that she can sleep.
"Thanks Katrina," smiled Danny.
"No problem Danny, I've already talked to yours and Jazz's teachers about you two being here. Most of them weren't happy about you sleeping in my office, but they had didn't complain about Jazz sleeping here," explained Katrina.
"No surprise there, most of these teachers hate me for one reason or another," commented Danny.
"Let me guess, because of Dash's influence and you standing up to him for the sake of your friends?" asked Katrina.
"Is it that obvious?" asked Danny.
"Danny listen, I know it may seem like the whole world is against you, but you have what it takes to go beyond the status quo of this school. Dash, Paulina, and all their little followers only see themselves spending four years in this school. Danny even if you don't know it. You're something special, you are meant for great things Danny," comforted Katrina.
"Thanks Katrina I needed that," replied Danny with a smile.
"I may be a nurse, but I want to help all of you kids when I can," said Katrina as she smiled back. "Now when do you plan on popping the question to Sam, Danny?" she teased.
"Oh come on!" whined a blushing Danny as Katrina laughed at the poor boy.
School finally ended as students began to leave the poorly funded torture chamber known to many as Casper High. Danny and Jazz headed towards Jazz's car and drove off to the hospital. When they arrived, Danny waved to goodbye to his sister and entered the hospital. He entered Sam's room after knocking on the door and entered when he was told to come in. Sam turned to look at Danny and waved him over.
"Hey Sam, miss me?" greeted Danny with a big smile on his face.
"You have no idea how much I missed having you around," commented Sam.
"Well I'm here now and I like to tell what happened at the college reunion with my parents," said Danny as he took a seat next to his best friend.
"And I would love to here it," replied Sam as she leaned in closer to Danny.
As Danny tells his tale to Sam about the many embarrassing thing his dad did at the reunion. Over at the Nasty Burger, Dash and Kwan were tormenting some of the nerds that go to their school who decided to hang out at the fast food restaurant. After giving a boy who looked a lot like Nathan a swirly. Dash noticed the mirror in the bathroom ripple. He and Kwan moved over to the mirror and saw a blue humanoid gazelle with drill-like antlers looking at Dash. Right next to it was a bulky humanoid white tiger.
Its body was heavily armored with blue stripes over its body. Its broad shoulders were also heavily armored along with gauntlet like arms that had five long curved claws. The rest of its body was also heavily armored with gaps in the armor so that it can move. The face of the tiger monster was flat and stocky along with no visible neck. The tiger beast looked at Kwan as if it was waiting for commands.
"So you've gathered others like you?" Dash asked the gazelle as if it understood him. The creature amazingly did understand Dash as it nodded its head.
"Cool, so I now have my own army at my command," boasted Dash to Kwan.
"Yeah and I have this big bruiser on my side," commented Kwan as he took out a blue deck with a golden emblem of a tiger's head.
Dash followed suit by pulling out a brown emblem with a golden emblem of an outline that vaguely looks like a gazelle's head. Before they tried anything someone opened the door to the bathroom. The two put the decks back into their pockets and their monsters left the area. The two jocks left and went towards where some other members of the football team were at.
Author's note: Well that all I got for this chapter, not a big chapter at all. Then again I don't really have a set length for any of these chapters. So long as it looks good to me, I would be satisfied enough to post it. Anyway now we know that Dash and Kwan are also Riders. For Kamen Rider fans they should be able to figure out the names of their Rider counterparts. If anyone is keeping track that's ten out of the twelve Riders total and one of them is dead. Still I'll list off who is now in the story as a Rider.
Dragon Knight-Danny Fenton
Gai-Sydney Poindexter
Zolda-Matthew
Ouja-Unknown at this time
Scissors-Johnny Baldwin
Knight-Tucker Foley
Raia-Nicolai Technus
Odin-Vlad Masters
Now for those who would be wondering about Johnny's last name. It's simple really I took the last name of his voice actor, William Baldwin much like how Katrina who is obviously Kitty is given the last name Phillips after her voice actress. Now here's a little challenge to anyone who cares. I want you to guess Matthew's last name and why I picked that name for him.
