Hello, welcome to my rewrite of Kamen Rider Faiz. I watched Faiz, and I had some problems with it, but it's not my least favorite. Faiz had some of my favorite characters, villain ideas, and aesthetics. I just wished they talked things out. Enough of me talking, let's start things up.
(December 18, 2002)
We start with a laboratory located in the building called Smart Brain. They are experimenting with red water-based fluid (not blood, chemicals) with 3 stones, shaped like sophisticated belt buckles.
"New motor liquid supplement complete," the head chemical scientist said. (Created by Shotaro Ishinomori)
Computer scientists looked at how to chemicals were affecting the experiment. The levels were high, which weren't a problems. (Written by Shoji Imai)
"The altered state is normalized," a computer scientist said.
The 3 chemical scientists nodded. (Music by Miyake Kazunori)
"Let's put on then Personal Protective Equipment (or PPE)," the head chemical scientist said. (Creature Design by Tamotsu Shinohara)
The scientists put on their PPE (personal protective equipment) and began to experiment with the 3 stones. Suddenly, they hear a loud alarming indicating that someone or something has broken through security. The cameras were then lost connection. The chemical scientists took notice of this. (Produced by Jun Hikasa, Naomi Takebe, and Takaai Utsunomiya)
"Hey, what's going on?" The head chemical scientist said.
"Someone's trespassing," The head computer scientist said.
"What?" The head chemical scientist asked in shock. The 'thing 'then breaks into the lab, startling the scientists. (Directed by Hidenori Ishida)
They see that the 'thing' is a gray goat monster. The monster lunges at the scientist and kills them – tuning the scientists into ash. The monster picks up a stone, and crushes the stone revealing a phone that was inside the stone.
Kamen Rider 555 (Faiz)
Episode 1: Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'
(January 30, 2003)
We then cut to a family having breakfast together. These people are the Osada family.
"Michiko, I've heard from your mother that your grades have gone up again, right?" The father asked.
"Yeah, that's because I'm very smart, and I aced that bio test last week," Michiko said cocky.
"Sensei was really praising her. I'm really proud of her," The mother added.
"You're so different from Yuka, you can do things," The father said with comparison.
The camera then pans up to a girl. It's the Osada's oldest daughter, Yuka. Yuka walks down to breakfast quietly and sadly. Yuka had shoulder length black hair and beautiful brown eyes. She was wearing her school uniform, which was dark blue with a red scarf. Michiko was wearing the same thing. Michiko had black haik shoulder length hair with bangs.
"Michiko, Kana, let's go celebrate tonight. It's been a while since all three of us have gone out," The father suggested. (For those of you who've noticed, yes. Kana is the mother's name, which is a reference to Agito, which was written by Toshiki Inoue, Faiz's head writer)
"Really? I'm so lucky," Michiko said overconfidently.
"Isn't that nice Michiko?" Kana asked with delight.
"Good morning," Yuka Said.
"What do you want to eat Michiko?" Kana asked. Yuka then went to the other side of the table. It was like she was invisible.
"Umm, I think I want Chinese food, if that's alright?" Michiko requested. "The same place we went to last time, look nice.
"Sure," The father agreed.
"Don't slack off now. You have to study harder now," The father added
"Don't worry, I know," Michiko said. Yuka then accidentally spills her breakfast.
"I'm sorry!" Yuka said. Yuka then grabbed a napkin, but her father snatched it from her and hit her with the napkin.
"I'm very sorry," Yuka said.
Yuka walks her school, Sakurabayashi Girls' High School, alone, like she always does. Michiko notices her when Yuka got out of a tunne; and then walks to Yuka the moment the latter goes up the starts.
"Yuka, lend me some money," Michiko said as she put her hand out for money.
"I don't have any more," Yuka said softly.
"Don't play dumb. I know you just got your paycheck. For some reason, you get paychecks once a month," Michiko snapped.
"But, I was thinking of using that to buy a new bag," Yuka said as her bag was full of cuts.
"Don't worry about it, it'll just get cut again," Michiko said, which confirms that Michiko cuts Yuka's stuff.
"What's wrong, Michiko? Want us to help?" One of two Michiko's best friends, Miyuki, asked.
"Just give it to me," Michiko demanded. Yuka had no choice. Michiko was stronger than her. Yuka took out her wallet, and Michiko snatched it from her hand and ran to her friends.
"But is it okay? She's your older sister, right?" Miyuki asked.
"We're only related by a little blood. She's not my real sister, that pathetic thing," Michiko said as she talked horribly about her step-sister.
"That's so true. Let's go," Hitomi said. The 3 mean girls ran to the building for class.
"Hey, Michiko's sister should be more prettier, don't you think?" Miyuki said as she said nasty things about Yuka. Yuka, as always, was sad. But, she isn't always like this.
Yuka's Cell Phone
Keitaro-san, are you doing well? Over here, the morning sun feels good. This morning, Mom and Dad were happy that my scores went up. I was so happy, I was embarrassed. How is it going for you, Keitaro-san? Are you working hard?
We now cut to a mechanic fixing someone's car, at a gas station. The car belonged to a Man in Sunglasses. Who was wearing a pink jacket, a tan hat and pants, with a gray shirt.
"Hey! Have you finished yet?" The man in sunglasses asked. The mechanic then closed the hood.
"Try starting it now," The mechanic suggested. The Man in Sunglasses then started the car, which was working perfectly now. "That will be 3,105.6 yen."
The Man in Sunglasses took out his money.
"All I have is 1,552.8 yen," The Man in Sunglasses said. The mechanic sighed.
"If you don't have the money, I'm going to have to tow it," The mechanic said. The mechanic then proceeds to go to the car. The Man in Sunglasses then gets out of the car. The mechanic then hears a gun.
"Hey, what the hell!" The mechanic asked. The mechanic turns and see a white bat monster. The white bat monster's head was shaped like a cowboy.
The bat monster shoots the mechanic in the legs, with regular pistols. The bat monster then released tentacles from his mouth (the monsters' mouths don't open and are not part of the design and goes through the mechanic's mouth. When the tentacles touch the heart, it burns up in blue flames, disintegrating it.
Back at Yuka's school, Yuka and her friends were playing basketball. Yuka was not good, because she was forced by Michiko's friend, Hitomi.
"Here, here, here," said Hitomi. The ball was passed to her. "Yuka!"
The ball was then passed to Yuka without her looking. The ball hit Yuka's right arm.
"What are you doing?" Hitomi asked angrily.
"Sorry," Yuka apologized. But the girls didn't care. When Yuka wasn't look more balls hit her. As she got her more, the more balls came to her. Yuka getting hurt happens every single day.
After school, the team went to get a late lunch at the plaza, because they were practicing so much, they couldn't eat lunch. Yuka sat alone because no one wanted her at their table.
"Michiko, there's a fortune teller. Want to see who's your husband?" Miyuki teased.
"Shut up! But, sure," Michiko said. Yuka then looked at her cell phone.
"Still no reply. Keitaro-san must be really busy," Yuka assumed.
Yuka then heard the coins being flipped in the air. There were three coins. The coins then landed on the table. The fortune teller then said,…
"Death."
(Cue Harm's Way by VideoHelper)
"Sorry?" Michiko said in confusion. The fortune teller then touches Michiko's forearm. After the fortune tell stopped touching Michiko's arm, he gave his response.
"In about…19-20 hours…you will be killed,". The fortune teller said.
"There has to be some mistake," Michiko said nervously.
"My predictions are never wrong," The fortune teller said. "A woman came up to me, I told her she was pregnant, 3 days later she found out she was pregnant. I told a man he will avoid a car accident, and he avoided a car accident. I told another woman that she'll get a promotion, and she got a promotion. The destiny will come to all non-believers; the believers have an opportunity to change their destiny".
"Come on, Michiko, this guy clearly doesn't know what he's talking about," Hitomi said. Hitomi then grabbed Michiko and Miyuki's arm. Michiko said that the fortune teller was crazy. Then, snow came falling.
(End Track)
Near Sakurabayashi Girls' High School, Yuka was then walking in the snow with her red umbrella. Yuka walks down the stairs and slips and falls. Yuka lies on the snowy ground, unconscious, and appears to be dead.
We then cut to a cabin. Yuka woke up, her eyes glowed white for a few seconds, then turned back to her normal brown eyes. Yuka got up a touched her head.
"Ow. My head," Yuka said.
"That fall should've killed you. But your death would be too early," Said a male voice. Yuka recognized that boy, it was the fortune teller.
"You," Yuka said.
"Don't worry, I come in peace," The fortune teller said. The fortune teller then takes out some butter spaghetti in a container.
"Are you hungry?" The fortune teller asked. Yuka nodded yes.
"Here try this, it's good," The fortune teller said. Yuka was hesitant at first but takes the container and eats. Yuka then face then turns for fright to curious.
"It's good," Yuka said. After Yuka finishes, she looked at the fortune teller (not romantically). The boy was like Yuka, in his teenage years. He had brown hair, and he was Caucasian. He was wearing a black jacket, with a red shirt.
"Excuse me, but who are you?" Yuka asked. Michael then took a card out of his pocket.
"My card," The fortune teller said. Yuka then reads it.
"A child who never grows up. Michael Taylor."
"Yep, that's me," Michael said. Michael then took out some bandages.
"I think it's best to rest your arm for a least 15 minutes. You have some bruises," Michael requested. "You want me to take you home?"
Yuka didn't want to go home. She wanted to stay with him. Yuka never met someone with kindness towards her. But, Yuka kept quiet.
"I'll take you home. Your parents must be worried," Michael said. Ironically, they weren't.
As Yuka and Michael, with a map and bag, around his shoulder, were walking in the parking lot.
"Are you sure you know where you're going?" Yuka asked.
"I think so. I brought this map since I got here. I still have to find my way here," Michael replied. Then, a car comes speeding towards them. Michael notices this.
"Watch out!", Michael said Michael grabs Yuka and pushes her out of the way. Michael then moves away from the speeding car. The car then stops, the driver, who was the man in sunglasses, got out of the car. Michael then speed-walked towards the driver.
"Hey, what's your deal?" Michael asked. The Man in Sunglasses hits Michael with his fist. Michael then came flying towards the driveway. The bag came flying towards Yuka. Yuka felt an instinct to open the bag. She knew it was wrong, but she felt like she had to. Yuka opened the bag and saw a suitcase with a logo called Smart Brain.
"Eh?" Yuka asked in curiosity. The Man in sunglasses then notices the Suitcase.
"Hey, that suitcase, give it to me," The Man in Sunglasses said. The Man in Sunglasses then transformed into the white bat monster. Yuka was frightened was back away. The bat monster hit Yuka and threw her a concrete wall, Michael was able to catch her.
"You alright?" Michael asked. Yuka nodded yes. The bat monster then held the suitcase.
"Hey you! That's my case!" Michael said. Michael then saw the bat monster holding the suitcase. Michael then ran to the bat monster, held him and punched him in the stomach. The bat monster managed to let go of the suitcase.
Michael then grabbed the suitcase and opens it. On the top off the inside of the case, was a belt. Michael then grabbed the belt. The bottom of the inside was a phone, a laser pointer, and a camera. Michael then grabbed the phone. Michael then put the belt on.
"Idiot, you can't transform," The bat monster said. Michael opened the phone and dialed, 5-5-5. Michael then put the phone on the belt. This causes laser to go around him and flash in a red light. The flash then stopped. Yuka's eyes widen as she saw the transformation.
"What?" Yuka said in shocked.
"Honestly, I'm surprised in work."
"Hey! My eyes are up here," The Bat monster said. The bat monster then fired his guns at Michael. Sparks flew out of Michael. The bat monster fired his gun again, but this time, Michael was able to dodge it. Michael then kicked both guns in the air. Michael tried to punch the bat monster, but the bat monster caught his punch, and punched him back, causing him to crash in the monster's car. The bat monster then walked towards Yuka and grabbed Yuka by the throat.
"Miss," Michael said. Yuka's face then turned pale, almost pure white. The bat monster seems to feel shock. His human form appeared in his shadow.
"What? Are you?" The Bat monster asked in shock. Michael then ran to the bat monster. The bat monster noticed this but was unable to block Michael's punch. Yuka then ran by the car. Michael was beating the bat monster with punches and kicks. Michael did a kick with his left leg, the bat monster held on the kick, but Michael kicked him in the chest with his right leg. The bat monster fell to the ground, and Michael landed on his feet next to the bat monster. The bat monster got up, and exploded into blue flames, and he started melt like sand.
"What…What is this?" Yuka asked.
To Be Continued
That was the first episode of my rewrite of Faiz. I hope you enjoyed it. I'll try to fix things that some people had problems with Faiz.
I chose Hikasa to be producer, because, I felt like you'd be annoyed if I kept picking Takatera. Hikasa is a very talented producer. If you take out Gaoranger, his stuff is very interesting. He does manage to balance dark and light-heartness, as seen with Kamen Rider Blade. I know Hisaka was producing Abaranger at the time. Takatera would be the one producing Abaranger. Abaranger will be the same, with no changes.
I chose Shoji Imai to be the head writer is because of Blade's first half. I watched this review that Blade's characters are similar on what we've seen from the first four Heisei Shows (Kuuga-Faiz). So I'm taking inspiration from this.
Thank you for reading. Sorry I haven't been writing for a while, I was burnt out. But now I think I'm ready. Please stay tune more will come.
