DECADE: Reality & Consequences

I don't own Kamen Rider, they belong to Toei.

I also don't own the following:


Friday

Victor's apartment

Victor: Tell me exactly what would that accomplish.

Rickson: Uh, maybe give assistance on how these X-Lifeforms?

Victor: You do realize that each monster comes from a fictional TV show? The name's Kamen Rider. Please tell me you know that...

Rickson: I know... but would the police listen to the words of a college kid? They would laugh at what these monsters are... plus, they barely know the Dark Riders. If you know something, you got to tell someone! This might be the difference.

'We have to tell him about the Kaijin we faced. But some leave some key info out.'

Victor: Alright, you know the Orphnochs, right?

Rickson: Yes. The NYPD made a statement on that. But there's more, the Phantom that was killed at the Club Fair, the Worm on the A-train, the Dopant and some telekinetic monster that bleeds green... if you know something, TELL ME.

I told him about the Dopants, Phantoms and the Undead. HOWEVER, I covered up by saying I watched Kamen Rider before, mainly from the Heisei era. So far... it managed to work and didn't suspect anymore, but I could tell he wants to know about Neo-Decade.

I simply finished chatting with him and said my goodbyes.

"That was close."

Yea, it was, I noticed that I started getting more messages from various friends, telling me what they saw some big monsters in Central Park, extremely sadistic and obsessing with causing despair. It was Phantoms, I would take care of this tomorrow. I was gonna get some sleep...


Saturday

I woke up, took my shower and got dressed. I then took out my puppy and gave her chicken mixed with dog food. I knew that my parents were at work fairly early in the morning and wouldn't be back at the following times: 4 PM and 7 PM.

'3-8-7'

I quickly transformed and got on the Jet Gunman and sped straight across Ashton and found the interstate and then went into the Lincoln Tunnel, but I was caught in traffic...

"Crap... wait a minute, does this have a hover function?"

I started messing around with some buttons, but I eventually found the one for putting it in Hover Mode.

"Well, this is new."

I hovered a good amount of feet above traffic, then I sped my way into New York City and then put Central Park in the GPS System and then I quickly followed it, albeit this.

I was shocking a whole lot of people with my motorcycle, but I ignored them...


Central Park

I finally arrived, plus I saw the NYPD in full force, sealing off entrances. I had no choice but to jump over the wall and go into the park itself. I found it empty and only heard the sound of sirens.

"Well, at least there's no people around."

'Phantoms should be easy to track though...'

"How exactly do we know when we find a Phantom?"

I had to ask that question... and I get hit by some portal-based attack.

"So, this must be Neo-Decade... I look forward for the composition of your demise." said some brown-colored demon with a rictus grin on his face. He was accompanied by a gargoyle-type monster and a very familiar monster... a red, bird-like man wielding a large broadsword.

"Oh, I had to ask..."

'Beelzebub! Gargoyle! PHOENIX! How are they alive?!'

'Haruto, I don't know. Last time I checked, you kicked Phoenix into the sun!'

"So, this is Neo-Decade? The new Destroyer of Worlds? Heh, can't even put up a proper def-"

ATTACK RIDE: BARRAGE!

Phoenix quickly dodged out of the way, but the other two Phantoms stood their ground. For a quick summary: Phoenix. You know that psycho that can't truly die? He's that in a nutshell, except there's a catch: like the phoenix that rises from the ashes, this psycho can do the same thing and the catch: HE BECOMES STRONGER!

"Oi, Beelzebub, Gargoyle. Take care of this."

Phoenix simply walked away and assumed his human form with a smirk on his face...

I get hit by portals again, but I realized I need to fight back...

KAMEN RIDE: WIZARD!

I recognized this Rider very well... I had a red jewel-like mask with gray lines, making a sort of face. I had some red chest-armor, accompanied by the same gray lines. I had coat-like flaps on my legs and everything else was black. The bands around my wrists were red too. I became Kamen Rider Wizard and it seemed the two Phantoms were not happy...

"YOU! You're that bastard!"

"Well, Haruto. It seems they're not big fans of you."

'Tell me about it.'

"Who are you-"

I pulled out quite a few cards which made me smirk a bit.

ATTACK RIDE: BIND!

Suddenly metal chains appeared and locked Gargoyle in place. I then used Wizard's classic weapon, the WizarSwordGun. A versatile one at that, I put it on Gun Mode. I just fired at Gargoyle and it hurt him quite a bit, but Beelzebub was wise to this...

"Hmm... you may have that ring-bearing wizard's power. But you don't have his skill."

I simply fired to shut him up, but suddenly two portals appeared... one in front of him and one by my side.

"Oh-"

I got hit by my own attack, Beelzebub kept on the offensive and fired shards of light from his sword which hurt me even more. I then turned my weapon into Sword Mode, trying for a close quarters fight. He quickly went on the offensive, parrying a few of my strikes and slashing me straight in the gut.

Beelzebub then roundhouse kicked me into a open field where we continued fighting. He still had the upper hand, but I took advantage with this card of mine.

ATTACK RIDE: LIGHT!

A blinding light took place, Beelzebub was stunned for a bit. I took advantage and slashed him up a bit. I then used several roundhouse kicks on him to lower his defense.

"Einsatz."

"Cut the conductor talk."

I simply slashed, but he kept blocking. However, I decided to go for a cheap sucker punch and a jumping kick into his face. Beelzebub only got further pissed off, then opened up several portals.

"You got to be shitting me..."

"Despair!"

I tried slashing him, but it got into a portal and suddenly I saw my arm was above me! I forgot, time-distortion portals were his specialty. I unfortunately got hit by the Phantom's tri-slash combo and then he sent a shower of light shards into him, sending me fly into a tree.

"Ow... that fucking hurt."

'We might need-'

"No. That's not a option. If I know Beelzebub that well, he'll be targeting areas like this. Big groups of people for his familiars to possess to drive an intended target into despair and create a new Phantom..."

'You're going to have to let me take control.'

"I know, Haruto. You need to fight but I can do this... but I think I'll need a bit more force."

I quickly pulled out some cards, this one is better than nothing.

ATTACK RIDE: EXCITE!

I suddenly felt much stronger and... taller, holy shit! I was extremely muscular and then jumped, sending a small shake. Beelzebub was offset a bit, but decided to fire at me. However, it didn't send me back. I just took it and kept walking towards him, I then grabbed his skull and slammed him into the dirt. I kept punching him and then grabbed his leg and threw him into a nearby tree.

"What... the actual fuck... was that?!" yelled a surprised Beelzebub.

"What's the matter, not used to getting an asskicking?"

"How... what are you?! How did you manage to get the upper hand!"

"It's simple really, I just used brute force."

"You little-" as I grabbed him and slammed a right fist into his skull, sending him into another tree. It was time to finish this...

FINAL ATTACK RIDE ONE: W-W-W-WIZARD!

I took a stance, a magical-type circle appeared and my feet were on fire... it was almost on instinct. I did a cartwheel and jumped in the air, readying my kick. I then saw three man-sized magic rings appear in front of me. I didn't question it and I kicked Beelzebub right the jaw and I landed steadily.

The magic ring simply bound Beelzebub and he was starting to crack literally... He then exploded.

"Strike Wizard..."

I looked back and saw that he was reduced to a pile of dust. I then tried finding the other Phantom, Gargoyle. However, it seemed he got away , but he was burned by those chains.

"Damn it."

I was going to walk away, but suddenly I heard shouts. I turned and saw two police officers aim at me...

"YOU! Put your hands up!"

"You got to be shitting me."

"Did you destroy that X-Lifeform!?"

"Uh... yes?"

I saw that the two officers really couldn't do much at this point and I heard this suggestion...

'Run. Now.'

"Best suggestion I heard all day..."

KAMEN RIDE: KABUTO!

I transformed and then used Clock Up.

CLOCK UP

I ran away as quickly as I could...


ONE HOUR LATER

Ashton, New Jersey

I quickly got back home as soon as possible, but here's the twist: I was in human form, that pretty much put me in the clear. Although the NYPD will try to figure out my identity.

It was a fairly easy to hide the motorcycle...

"Phoenix. How is that guy even alive?! I thought you, Haruto killed him. Well, you kicked him into the sun... but still! How did he manage to come back from the sun?!"

'Someone or a group must have the resources to bring someone like Phoenix back from the sun. In addition, did you see the way he acted? He acted nonchalant and walked away from this. The Phoenix I fought would have joined in just for a chance to kill me.'

"Either someone knew how to curb Phoenix's homicidal impulses or..."

'What?'

"It may not be your Phoenix, but a Alternate Reality version of Phoenix!"

'What.'

"Just let that sink in..."

'Victor may be right... the previous Decade has met A.R. versions of us. Well, just eight of us. Den-O was still Ryotaro Nogami.'

'I see. You mean to tell me I'm fighting a entirely new Phoenix? '

'It's quite possible.'

"So, that means we have to train harder." I said with finality.

'Not exactly. It just means we'll have to gather intelligence on our enemies...'

"One issue with that, whoever I'm speaking to."

'Kenzaki.'

"Right. Where exactly do we look? They could be anywhere and I doubt we'll get much from a grunt. Also remember, the grunt Kaijin don't like working together."

I suddenly get a text on my cell, it's from Dyson.

The text message read like this:

I think I figured out how some of these monsters operate. Come over by Monday at school.

"Interesting... "

'Are you sure we should we trust the words of your friend? I mean, we know all about the Kaijin you're fighting.'

"He might know where they strike the most or at least, gather around for something."

I decided to take the best under consideration...


That's the end of Chapter 11.

It seems Dyson knows a bit about the Kaijin and MIGHT possibly know where they gather!

By the way, Happy Halloween everyone!
