From now on Moley's only to cameo, but I'll still be showing that yes, I didn't forget about him. But in the meantime, let's get into another scheme on Garanda's part. Disclaimer: I don't own Kamen Rider, Tokyo Ghoul, or any other referenced media.

*We start with a close-up of Ken Kaneki's face as he eyes dart back and forth*

A-MA-ZON!

*With that declaration, we get our opening music and the series title*

Tokyo Amazon

Question the wide, open skies! Ask them who am I?

*Ken is seen leaping and swinging through a Japanese forest.*

Amazon Rider! That is who I am!

*He lands near Touka and two new heroes, Nishiki Nishio and Hideyoshi Nagachika, as they pose like beasts.*

Fight against me if you would prefer, envoys of evil

*Ken's GiGi Armlet is seen, as well Touka's Amazon Driver, with Nishiki and Hideyoshi having Amazon Driver's of their own.*

Did you see? The Jungler that I'm riding on

*Kurojusha of the Garanda Empire appeared and surround the group.*

Fangs laid bare in the light, a tooth for a tooth

*Ken takes a predatory stance, his mouth open as if bearing fangs.*

Fearsome claws growl and roar, an eye for an eye

*The four Riders quickly attack and deal with the Kurojusha.*

For justice, I'll be a ghoul, a noble demon

*They transform into their Rider forms, Nishiki a bright red suit with silver chest called Kamen Rider Alpha, and Hideyoshi and pure silver form called Kamen Rider Sigma.*

Amazon Rider, he is finally here

*The four Riders race off, Amazon on his Jungler while the others have their Junglaiders, before they are seen making one final pose with Amazon in the center, Omega on his back, Alpha to his right, and Sigma to his left.*


Chapter 21: I Will Eat the Rider!

At a local aquarium, two guards were noting an odd sound. One of them noticed that it sounded a lot like the sea. The other guard dismissed it since they were at the Tokyo Center, too far inland to be able to hear the sea. Whatever it was, it was coming from inside the aquarium, so they hurried to check it out. Inside there was no sign of the sound, or of anything out of the ordinary. The kept looking just in case, until something wet hit the superior guard.

He wiped off his cheek and was shocked to realize that it was blood. He turned his flashlight above him and spotted some sort of sea anemone monster. The monster leapt down and wrapped its feelers around the guard, injecting him with some sort of blood substance. This was the Anemone Beastman, who could switch a human's blood with his own blood, in doing so turning them into cannibals. The older guard suddenly had feelers of his own growing out of his body.

The younger guard ran to call for help on the phone. The older guard placed a hand on the young man's shoulder, and he seemed to alright all of a sudden. At least until he opened his jacket and revealed a parasitic anemone on his stomach, which grabbed the younger guard and infected him as well. Anemone Beastman then moved on to a pair of sewer workers, the more people walking by. Soon enough, Anemone Beastman brought his new cannibal army before Emperor Zero.

"Anemone Beastman, of Garanda Empire!," he said, "You seem to be succeeding in the Man-Eating Human Operation." "Indeed, Great Emperor Zero," Anemone Beastman said, "These man-eating humans can eat any other humans!" Emperor Zero nodded. "Good, have the operation completed today. Spread the lust with Garanda's black blood!" Anemone Beastman bowed as Emperor Zero disappeared. "By order of the Garanda Empire!," he called out to his horde, "Move out to the earth! Go and eat the humans! Eat them all!"


Ken finished another lap on the Jungler as Tobei timed him. "Outstanding work! Your right on par with the previous Riders in terms of performance!" "Makes me wonder why I was afraid of them," Ken said. Moley nodded. "That doesn't look so hard now." "Maybe not," Hideyoshi said, "But I doubt you'd be able to properly mount one." Moley looked down at his body. "Yeah, you got a point."

A car drove up with Masahiko and his sister, as well as another young boy. "There you guys are," Masahiko said, "Isamu's dad was going to show us the aquarium, remember?" "Oh right," Ken said, "We did agree to come." Touka nodded. "Yeah, it's supposed to have a lot of sea creatures that you haven't seen before." The other young boy stepped forward. "I'm Isamu Iguchi." Ken nodded. "I'm Ken Kaneki. This is pack. Nishiki, Hideyoshi, Moley, and my mate Touka." Isamu smiled as he displayed the friendship sign that Masahiko had taught him, the pack copying the sign, even Moley, having learned to pull back digging claws.

Isamu introduced his dad as well, but as he approached, the entire pack backed off. "What's with this man!?," Moley asked, "Why is he exuding bloodlust?" "He doesn't smell human," Ken said, "Something is wrong with him. His blood, it smells wrong." "He smells too much like fish too," Touka noted. "You shouldn't be so insulting," Isamu said. He wanted to just go alone with his father, but the insisted that Masahiko and the others be allowed to join. "But dad," Isamu said, "He just called you a fish!"

"Hey now!," Masahiko said, "I'm sure Ken has a good reason for that!" Isamu frowned. "I'll just go on my own!" He ran off immediately. The father cleared his throat. "Well, that's fine. Anyway, Masahiko, Ritsuko, we should get going right away. I'm sure Isamu will be joining us soon enough. He started escorting the siblings into the car. Ken went to stop him, but Tobei held him back before any more problems occurred. However, Ritsuko noticed that they weren't actually driving to the aquarium.

After Iguchi topped, he turned to them with as dark facial markings appeared, prompting the siblings to hurry out of the car. Iguchi revealed the anemone attached to his stomach. He moved to try and grab them, only to get hit right in the parasite by a thrown rock. Masahiko looked to see Ken and his pack standing above them on a hill. Ken leapt down and started grappling with the infected man. He quickly scrambled away.

Ken checked on the siblings. "I somehow suspected you were on to something," Ritsuko admitted. "Our sense of smell is more honed than a normal human," Moley pointed out, "We could tell something was wrong with that man." Hideyoshi nodded. "Though this is something we didn't expect. He looked like he was ready to try and eat you." "This has got to be Garanda's doing," Masahiko noted. Touka nodded. "No doubt. Only they'd be pull something like this off."

"So you're the Rider Pack I've heard so much about!," Anemone Beastman called out. He leapt out and knocked the Riders into a nearby ditch. "I, the mighty Anemone Beastman, will be your opponent now!" The monster proved brutal as he attacked the Riders and tried to choke them out with his feelers. "I'll make each of your man-eating humans!" Touka and Nishiki suddenly grabbed him by the throat and squeezed hard. "We will never go back to that awful life!," Touka called out. Anemone Beastman got thrown aside as the Riders activated their transformation.

"Henshin!" "A-MA-ZON!" "Henshin!" "Amazon!" As the Riders transformed, Kurojusha moved in to attack, but were quickly taken out as the Riders attacked with great ferocity. Anemone Beastman made his own attack, only to get his arm chopped off. The Riders moved on the to the rest of his limbs. However, he quickly regrew them. He still proved vulnerable to getting pummeled, however. Meanwhile, the siblings hurried off to keep Isamu from getting eaten by his own dad. Anemone Beastman turned into a giant sucker and flew off.


Isamu, having no idea what had happened to his dad, was looking for him at the aquarium where he worked. His dad soon found him, but Isamu was curious as to why Masahiko and his friends weren't with him. Iguchi dismissed them right out, saying that they were people who liked to play big tricks, and telling him not to go near them ever again. Isamu trusted his dad with question. Iguchi then offered to show his son the aquarium's machinery.

Masahiko and Ritsuko quickly came over, warning him not to go and that his dad had been transformed into a man-eating human. He dismissed it as a lie right out. Iguchi lead him off, warning the siblings to go home, and locking the door for good measure. Inside the machinery, Isamu was too distracted to notice his father. Luckily, Ken and his pack had managed to get inside, Iguchi quickly turning his attention to them. Isamu grabbed a wrench. "Don't hurt my dad!"

Ken quickly grabbed his arm. "Isamu. Look into my eyes. These are not the eyes of a liar. That man is not you dad anymore. He's a Garanda specimen!" "That's a lie!," Isamu said, "My dad isn't that sort of human!" "Did you hear me say it was voluntary?," Ken asked. Isamu still refused to believe it. "No! Dad was always trying to protect me!" He hugged his dad and cried, not seeing Iguchi flip a switch that dropped Ken down a trap door. "Ken!," Touka called out. Ken was already in the middle of transforming. "Henshin!" "A-MA-ZON!" Once Amazon landed, he was sealed inside a glass chamber.


Outside, Tobei met up with the siblings while they were looking for Ken. It turned out even more man-eating humans had appeared, close to twelve-hundred total. Just as they hurried to find the Rider Pack, Kurojusha came and surrounded them. Anemone Beastman laughed as he had Amazon trapped. "How do you like my freezing device? Due to your origin, we determined your weakness to extreme cold! Now you'll be frozen like an ice pop!"

The switch was hit as Amazon was blasted with a sub-zero gas, the Kurojusha bringing in Tobei and the siblings. "Ah, perfect timing. Take them off to be food for the man-eating humans!" He looked inside the capsule. "Looks just about perfect… Raise the capsule!" Amazon had been frozen in a block of ice. "Speaking of ice pops," Anemone Beastman said, "I think I'll enjoy you as a perfect frozen meal!"

Nearby the man-eating humans were approaching Tobei, the siblings, and Isamu, who was still in denial about what had happened to his father. Anemone Beastman got out a large set of utensils. "For the prosperity of Great Emperor Zero!" The serving dish was raised to reveal the ice block. But before the Kurojusha could start to carve, the rest of the Rider Pack leapt down and started attacking. As they did, Masahiko's cries for help triggered the GiGi Armlet, letting Amazon break free from the ice.

Anemone Beastman was shocked. "He still alive!" "And you won't even get the decency of a last meal!," Amazon declared, "You forget the power of GiGi Armlet! With it I was able to keep myself alive, in order to find your safe house!" "The entire pack is linked by the armlet," Alpha explained, "So when it sent out a signal, we knew to follow it. Didn't you find it strange that none of us interfered with you freezing our pack leader?" Anemone Beastman gasped. "Crap! I screwed up!"

The pack rampaged for a bit before racing after Anemone Beastman as he tried to escape via jeep. They soon got ahead and forced the jeep to stop. "Your wicked actions have hurt a child's feelings," Amazon said, "You have no right to claim divine rule with wicked actions like that. Your actions will never be forgiven!" He and the pack raised their arm blades. "By order of the law of the jungle! Your penalty… Is death!"

They proceeded to tear apart the Kurojusha. Anemone Beastman moved in to attack, the Riders striking at him with ferocity unmatched. After tossing him down a cliff, the pack leapt into the air for a flying strike. "Amazon Kick!" "Omega Kick!" "Alpha Strike!" "Sigma Crash!" The four Rider Kicks pounded Anemone Beastman into goo as his body quickly dissolved. The Riders howled in triumph. With the beastman dead, the people he had transformed were returned to normal.

They completely confused as to where they were, and embarrassed that they had their shirts open. Ironically, the only persona eaten in the city was one Rize Kamishiro, the only violent ghoul left in the city who thought the attacking humans were her fellow evil ghouls finally coming out of hiding and stupidly ran to greet them when everyone else, including other ghouls, were running for their lives. The real point is, Isamu was grateful to finally have his dad back, his grief avenged by the Rider Pack.

To be continued…

I was originally going to have Rize be killed by Ken in the same way she tried to eat him in Tokyo Ghoul as a nice parallel, but couldn't think of how to fit it in, so I went with this instead. Hope you guys don't mind. Read and review.
