A young man, about 16 walked up to the Smart Brain Headquarters in Tokyo. He had short light blue hair that went down to his shoulders and dark blue eyes. He was wearing a white t-shirt and blue jeans. He had a pair of goggles positioned above his eyes. He was wearing a necklace that had a door hinge attached to it. He held a letter in his hand, which held the Smart Brain emblem on it. "Smart Brain, huh? Awesome!" the boy smiled. "Man, I can't believe that up until a few days ago everything was normal…"
A few nights ago…
An abandoned warehouse had been condemned, and people were told to steer clear of it… But that doesn't mean everyone listens. There are people in this world called urban explorers, people who explore the normally unseen or off-limits parts of human civilization. Shinji Kamishiro was one of these people. Unfortunately for him, the building was condemned because it was due to collapse at any moment.
CRASH!!
And like that, the entire building came crashing down around him. "Stupid rotted building," groaned Shinji as he dug himself out of the rubble, coughing. His goggles covered his eyes. He coughed up some dirt and dust. "Well, that could have gone better," he said as he patted himself down. He reached into his pocket and pulled out a small digital recorder. "At least I got the collapse on tape." He then heard a sort of clicking noise and noticed a small mechanical insect that was similar to a stag beetle. "Ah! Metal bug!" he shouted. He heard the insect clicking. "Partner?" He was shocked to realize he could understand the bug.
"OK, this is weird," said Shinji. "What are you supposed to be?" The mechanical stag beetle clicked its mandibles a few more times before flying off. "Hey, wait! I didn't get you on tape." He grumbled, "Great…nobody is gonna believe me when I tell them this." He heard something being dropped at his feet and looked down. "Huh?" He squatted down and picked it up. "Wicked belt. Wonder whose is it?" He heard clicking and saw the stag beetle flying around his head. "You want me to put it on? OK." Shinji fastened on the belt. "Hm. Not bad." Shinji looked around. "Now, I need to find a way to get out of this place." The stag beetle heard the question and flew towards the belt before attaching itself to it. "Hey!"
"HENSHIN!" the belt announced.
"Woah!"
Shinji then felt weird as a hexagonal field began to cover him. The field turned out to be armor as it slowly enveloped his body.
