Episode 2 - "Eyes Now Opened"
My name is Shirou Emiya. After helping a girl I didn't know, I was murdered by a Corrupted Heroic Spirit. In order to come back to life and save her from the monster, I chose to fight as Kamen Rider Ghost.
I have 98 days left.
Shirou Emiya was confused. But while the entirety of the previous night had certainly been strange and confusing, it was not that had left him bewildered at this moment in time.
No, the matter that left him like that this time was far more mundane on the surface level. As he stood in the kitchen, cooking breakfast more slowly than usual, due to the certain distracting fact that Taiga was sitting there, talking to the redheaded girl and the silent blonde girl from the previous night as if she had known them her entire life and that it wasn't strange that a haughty redhead and a near-mute bandage covered blonde had suddenly appeared in his house overnight.
But there she was, sitting across from them chatting happily away, as if there was nothing wrong or strange.
She didn't even react oddly when he entered the room, instead only greeting him in her typical manner before going back to talking with them as he cooked breakfast. So she probably wasn't fed a sob story or something of similar effect to excuse them being here. But if that was the case then what was going on?
It wasn't like they could rewrite people's memories or something outrageous like that. Right?
"Shir~ou, when's breakfast going to be ready?" Taiga complained, unaware of the mental turmoil going through his head.
Nearly jumping in surprise, he realized that he had nearly overcooked the fish, going to insure breakfast wasn't ruined he said, "J-just a bit longer Fuji-nee."
"Hmm? Is something wrong Shirou?" Taiga asked.
"A-ah no, Fuji-nee. Just a bit tired I guess." Shirou stuttered as he dished out proportions for breakfast.
"You sure Emiya-kun, that doesn't really sound like you~" The redheaded girl said, glancing at him with an amused knowing look.
She knew exactly what was the problem, and more than that, she was enjoying it.
"No, no, I'm fine really." He said going to bring breakfast out, having some difficulty with the number of plates and bowls without Sakura being there to help that day, before the blonde girl moved from her place after staying quiet the entire morning to help him without a word.
"Ah, you don't have to help, I can manage." She had just been injured fairly badly, he didn't want her moving too much, especially the morning after he found her. He didn't think she was injured enough to need a doctor now, but she really shouldn't be doing any work and should instead be laying back and relaxing until she healed.
As he tried to take the plate from her, she stepped out of his reach, shaking her head as she walked past him to help serve breakfast.
Sighing in defeat, he brought the remaining dishes and bowls of food out for breakfast.
Looks like he still had plenty of problems to deal with, excluding the whole dying unless he found more of these Eyecons. Sitting down to eat, pulled out the Eyecon his soul was currently containing, looking it over as he ate without Taiga noticing.
Life certainly got a lot more difficult recently, hadn't it?
As soon as Taiga left in a hurry, having slacked off on paperwork yet again, Shirou stood up from breakfast, giving the redheaded girl a hard look as he asked, "What did you do?"
"Hmm? Whatever could you mean Emiya-kun?" She asked, barely paying mind to him as she sipped her tea.
"What did you do to Taiga to make her think you being here was normal?!" He nearly yelled out.
Sipping her tea, she didn't respond for a moment before putting the cup down as she said, "Oh that? Nothing much, just altered a few memories, real small work. She thinks I've come over here in the morning since we were young."
"You did what?!"
"What? Would you have preferred the alternative?"
"What's the alternative, and why was your first choice altering her memories?!"
"Well I thought you'd prefer that over me just killing her." She said, sipping her tea again.
"Why is your alternative to kill her?! Why not just come up with an excuse like a normal person?!"
Continuing to sip her tea, she didn't answer him for a moment before finally saying, "Too much trouble, and it's a bit late for that now, wouldn't you agree? Now, if we're done with this conversation we have more important matters to attend to."
"What more important matters? We still have the issue about you and your apparent lack of morality!"
"How about another Corrupted Heroic Spirit in the area, as well as more information about you being Ghost?"
Shirou quieted down after hearing that. He still wanted to talk about what she did to Taiga, but she didn't seem harmed in anyways besides the altered memories, while a Corrupted Heroic Spirit could easily kill someone, like how the Cu Chulainn Corrupted had killed him so easily the night before.
"Good. Now, there seems to be another Corrupted somewhere nearby in the city, I'm not sure exactly where but they're not hiding their presence all too well. Their stench is covering this city. They've obviously been here a while, but they haven't made a major move since we haven't heard about it. That either means it's a low level one, or it's plotting something. Understand so far?"
"I guess?" He said, so it was either a really weak Corrupted, or it was a smarter one.
"Good, so that means that this will either be an easier job for you, or it'll be fairly difficult, hopefully it's just small fry, after all, I can't help you if it's not."
Sighing as he stood up, Shirou said, "Well, it doesn't matter if it's small fry or not, I'll have to defeat it anyways. After all, that is what I was revived to do. Protect others by defeating monsters using the powers of ghosts."
Grabbing his bag, he went to leave as he said, "Well I'm heading to school. See you two later."
"Wait." The redheaded girl said.
Glancing back at her, Shirou asked, "What is it?"
"Rin."
"Huh?"
"While I'm in this world, you can call me Rin."
Nodding, he said, "Okay Rin, make sure to not let her hurt herself, we still don't know how injured she is, especially with her talking as much as she has. And we're not done talking about the Taiga memory thing. And you're not doing that to Sakura you hear me?"
After getting an admittingly halfhearted confirmation from her, he left for school.
"So you hear about the kidnapping Emiya?" Shinji, a young man dressed in the school uniform with wavy purple hair, asked him in his typical arrogant tone as they ate lunch in the empty classroom, Issei, dressed in the same uniform with straight black hair and glasses, sitting across from them.
"Kidnappings?" He asked.
"Yeah, bunch of guys our age have gone missing recently, only to turn up anywhere from a few hours to a few days later passed out around this park uninjured." He said waving a small piece of food around before plopping it in his mouth.
"Real freaky stuff, attractive men being kidnapped. I could get kidnapped then! Luckily you don't have to worry about this type of thing Emiya, I envy you." He said with a dramatic sigh.
Strange temporary kidnappings? It was probably a stretch, but that could've been the Corrupted, couldn't it? He didn't see why someone would do this, but maybe it had something to do with magic?
"I don't know Shinji, I'm fairly certain it's not your looks that get you so many women, rather than your money." Issei said, sipping his drink as he smirked at Shinji who turned to him with an overdramatic betrayed look on his face.
"Oh the humanity, one of my one true friends have betrayed me! Whatever should I do?" He said, holding up his hand to wipe away fake tears, before grabbing Shirou's shoulder.
"Never betray me like he has done Emiya, I might just die."
"No promises Shinji." Shirou said with a small smile, sipping his own tea before they all started laughing.
If only peaceful days like this could have last.
"What's this Rin?" Shirou asked, walking towards his now opened shed.
"Well Emiya-kun, any Kamen Rider worth their salt needs a motorcycle to ride. So when I noticed you already had a beautiful rider machine right here, I just fixed it up with some of my magecraft." And as she said, it looked good as new. No more scratches or gashes, no bent handlebars, and what looked to be an entirely new engine and more.
Stepping up to his motorcycle, he ran a hand along it, "It's good as new…"
"Well of course!" Rin said with a haughty smile, "I wouldn't settle for anything less after all!"
"Thank you." He said in a quiet voice, smiling at her. She might've been a bit cruel at times, but he was genuinely grateful for her doing this for him, and he still felt that she wasn't actually a bad person.
"I-I didn't do it for you! I did it cause as your Contract, it'd be shameful for you to not have a Rider Machine!" She denied loudly.
Chuckling at her response lightly, he smiled again, "Whatever you say."
Swinging a leg over the bike, he started the motorcycle, turning to face her, "You mind opening the gate for me? I'm going to go searching for that Corrupted now."
As she opened the gate for him, he thanked her one last time before blasting down the streets. Every one of the victims of this possible Corrupted were around a specific section of the city. While the range was quite large, it was better than trying to explore the entire city.
Looks like he was going to the park today.
As he drove through the streets past people heading in for the night, he thought over what he knew so far.
They all were kidnapped and thrown about around the park, all of them were young adult males, and all of them went missing near sundown. If he was right, then some unlucky man was going to be kidnapped soon!
Revving the engine, he moved through the park quickly, looking for any hint about the Corrupted, or worst case scenario a kidnapping in process.
Suddenly he felt a splitting pain in the back of his head, being flung forwards with his bike still. Oh right.
He was an unlucky young man.
At least it was just him being kidnapped, right?
…
…
…
"...Gghh…" Shirou groaned as he woke up to a splitting headache, clutching his forehead as he stood up from his turned over motorcycle. Looking around him, all he saw were walls of tree branches completely surrounding him. Small cracks of light broke through the branches allowing him to not be in total darkness, but the branches were in every direction and he couldn't see any clear way out of there.
He was effectively trapped.
Well that wasn't really a problem with his Eyecons, he realized. Probably. This had to be the lair of the Corrupted. So it might still be a problem. But the Eyecons and their power would certainly help!
"Ahh~, You're awake already? Come on in, dinner will be ready shortly~" An almost innocent voice called out, seemingly from every direction. As his eyes quickly darted around the room to try and figure out where it was coming from, he noticed an opening in the wall that he had not seen before. Picking up his motorcycle and walking towards it, he looked inside the opening revealing a tunnel of branches and leaves.
Well it was the only option he had, less he try to chop through the branches himself and make his own path. Which didn't seem like the greatest of ideas to him. And besides, he had to take down the Corrupted, it was kidnapping people, and even if no one had been killed yet, there had already been too many close calls. And here was a path seemingly directly to it.
It might've been a trap, he knew, but it was the best bet he had, as he walked down the tunnel with his motorcycle by his side. And besides, while it might've been a trap, it wasn't like he was going to die or anything. It was a bit late for that after all.
As he stepped through the pathway he was accompanied by an ever present humming that seemed to come from every direction. If the Corrupted was trying to unsettle him it was actually working a bit.
This place was creepy.
The way the light cracked through the branches, the shadows it cast, the constant humming, it was starting to feel like a scene from one of those horror movies Taiga enjoyed watching.
As the humming increased in volume, the tunnel opened up more and more, with the light becoming brighter and warmer, until he came upon the end of the tunnel, leading into a warmly lit room.
Looking into the room, he was met with a surprising sight. The room looked fairly normal, instead of the cavern of branches he had been expecting from this place. Hardwood floors, normal walls, lighting, and a kitchen, separated from the rest of the room by a countertop.
Standing in the kitchen, seemingly cooking something with their back turned to him, was a woman with long smooth teal hair that reached the lower ends of her back, dressed in extravagant clothing, with layers of teal and white with gold trim. As he stepped into the room, she seemed to have heard him as she turned around to face him. Smiling warmly at him she spoke, "Welcome home dear~"
Well that wasn't what he had been expecting. The Corrupted using Cu Chulainn had had the appearance of a monstrous wolfman in shabby armor, but she looked like a surprisingly normal person. Could she be something besides a Corrupted?
With his lack of knowledge of the supernatural he wouldn't be surprised if there were other things out there. But she could've also just been a Corrupted with a more human appearance. It would be for the best if he didn't act recklessly, she was almost certainly the one kidnapping people and leaving them injured for some reason.
And he was in the center of her lair.
Oblivious to his inner thoughts, she moved from the kitchen to right in front of him, smiling brightly as she said, "Dinner will be ready shortly dear, unless of course you'd rather have me first~"
Okay. This was seriously not what he was expecting.
"Dinner would be nice?" Try not anger her, and to solve this peacefully.
Pouting almost disappointedly she quickly went back to happy smiles as she said, "Then I'll prepare your place then dear~"
Seriously. What was this?
She seemed hopefully more reasonable than the last Corrupted, so maybe he could solve this matter without violence, but he came here expecting a fight. He wasn't complaining, but this was really weird.
"T-thank you?"
He kicked out the kickstand of the motorcycle, leaving it near the opening before stepping further into the room, as the girl set the table.
"If you don't mind me asking, who are you? Are you a Corrupted?"
Not turning to him, she laughed as she said, "Don't be silly dear, how could you forget your dear Kiyohime~?"
She didn't deny being a Corrupted.
Well might as well bite the bullet and see if this was going to go bad.
"Okay Kiyohime, were you the one kidnapping all those men?"
"Hmm? Isn't that an odd question dear, whatever could you mean by kidnapping? It's just been you and me all this time hasn't it?" She said, turning to face him with a creepy grin and dead eyes.
Okay. That was kind of what he was expecting, actually.
"Uh...Kiyohime?"
"If you're asking questions like that, you must not be my Dear either…"
As she stood up, Shirou could figure out where this was heading, grabbing the Eyecon from inside his jacket as the Ghost Driver formed around him.
Clicking the Eyecon, he slid it into his open Driver, before transforming.
"Henshin."
Moving his hand down he pushed in the lever, before releasing it as he raised his arms in a circular manner before holding them in front of him, his pointer fingers extended as if about to trace the air, as in a spark of black and white, the black armor covered in orange and white engravings formed around his body, the jacket gliding down and attaching itself shortly after.
As Kiyohime shifted into a monster similar to the Cu Chulainn Corrupted, save for being a large teal dragonic humanoid with steel bells for shoulders instead of being a wolf monster, he pulled down his hood from his head before raising his arms, ready to fight if he had to.
"We don't have to fight you know? We could always talk about this instead."
Ignoring his words, the Kiyohime corrupted lunged at him, screaming violently as she slashed at him, with him leaping back to avoid her attack as his instincts once again took over. Backed into a wall by her constant lunging, he tried dodging her attacks, but got slashed and hacked at by her long claws. As she slashed at him again, he managed to grab a hold of her hand, holding it in place for a moment as he pushed forward himself, punching her in the face.
As she stepped back holding her face, still screaming violently, he pushed forward more, punching her in the gut before following it by jumping up and bringing his fists together and down on her. He kept pushing forwards with the assault, trying to not let up and give her a chance to tear him apart again.
Suddenly, as his fist connected with her, she screeched even louder than before, exploding in a ball of fire which burnt him and pushed him back into the walls of the room.
Her body mutated further, extending into snake-like proportions with a long slender body with small limbs ending in clawed hands. She was turning into a legitimate dragon. She blasted fire all over the room, burning it down in places and revealing the open air.
Including the empty park he had been in before this all.
So this weird place was really there then.
Grabbing his motorcycle, he kicked up the kickstand as he turned it on, driving around the Kiyohime Corrupted as she blasted fire at him, destroying the place further. He had to get out of here, he realized. Any longer and he might just burn alive.
Looking around, he noticed one of the holes leading out towards the city was possibly big enough for him to escape through on his motorcycle. If he went through there, he could possibly lead the Corrupted to a more favorable location and purge her. Just had to wait till she wasn't blasting fire at him since leaving would take a moment.
And then, she took a breath, rebuilding the fire in her lungs to blast at him.
Seeing his opportunity for escape, he revved the motorcycle's engine, the lining and seams of the bike glowing a faint orange color, as he blasted out of the burning hole and into the open night. Chasing close behind him as he blasted down the luckily empty streets was the dragonic Kiyohime Corrupted, blasting breaths of fire at him as he weaved through them.
Okay now he was in the open, and she was on his tail. He could work with this, draw her to some more optimal location for him and defeat her. Turning a tight corner he nodded to himself as he decided where he was going to bring her.
'Hey kid.' The voice of Cu Chulainn spoke in his head.
"H-Huh?!" Surprised at the sudden invasive voice, he jerked, nearly crashing into a lampost as his shoulder grazed past it.
'Woah Woah kid it's just me!' The voice shouted, still in his head.
"Cu Chulainn? How are you talking to me? Aren't you in the Eyecon right now?" He asked as he dodged more blasts of fire as he increased the speed of the bike, leaving behind an orange trail behind him.
'Kid, the Eyecon doesn't stop me from using the mental link between us! We formed a contract the moment you grabbed my Eyecon! I've only been quiet cause I was asleep or didn't care!'
"O-okay then what do you have to say now?" He said as he took another hard turn. They weren't too far now…
'You're fighting a Corrupted Heroic Spirit! Without me! I want in! I'm faster than you, and my Noble Phantasm can deal with her being so slippery!'
Blasting down the empty road with the Kiyohime Corrupted behind him, Shirou nodded as he quickly approached a bridge still under construction. Revving the engine, he blasted as fast as he could towards the uncompleted bridge.
As the bike ran across the beams and pieces of metal, he pulled out Cu Chulainn's Eyecon from his jacket, clicking the button on the side, shifting the iris to the numbering 01. Loading it into the Driver, replacing his personal one, he closed the driver.
"EYE" Blue and white tatters danced around him, forming a blue jacket with white trim and glowing blue eyes.
"WATCH THIS"
Grabbing the handlebar, he pulled it out, and smashed it back in. "HENSHIN!"
"EYES OPEN: CU CHULAINN!"
The jacket he had been wearing faded away as the new one smashed onto his body, forming tightly around him as his orange faceplate disappeared from his shell like helmet. A blue design, similar to that of a wolf's face with cracks running along from the eyes and snout to the top of the head where his horn protruded from lit up brightly before fading to a solid color across his helmet slid into place to replace it.
"FIGHT! FIGHT! FIGHT AND NEVER DIE!"
He revved the engine as the light coming from the bike changed from its orange to a bright blue hue before blasting even faster than before.
The bike had somehow been influenced by the heroic spirit of Cu Chulainn, and was moving faster than had been possible just a moment before.
"gEt BaCk HeRe!" The Kiyohime Corrupted, still on his tail screeched as her claws slashed at him as he leaned heavily to the side to avoid, nearly flat with the ground before up righting himself.
"No I don't think I will!" He shouted back as he made one of the final turns to get to the planned spot, "Why don't you catch up to me?"
She screeched horribly in response, swinging at him again as he hugged a wall to avoid her claws.
Well she was angry.
Revving the bike again, he blasted forwards putting greater distance between them before coming to the top of a hill, leading down to a wide abandoned, and burnt field. Coming to the edge, he flew over the field and into the open terrain. Turning midair, he held out his foot as he approached the ground, the Kiyohime Corrupted blasting fire at him in the air, burning the ground in molten circles as they missed him.
Smashing his foot into the ground, he skidded to a halt in the abandoned field. Nobody would possibly show up here tonight.
Seeing him stop, the Kiyohime Corrupted began circling around him in the air as if taunting him.
"nOwHeRe To RuN nOw YoU lItTlE lIaR~"
"Why would I run? This is where the fun starts." He said, stepping off of the bike, kicking out the kickstand of the bike, before stepping away from the bike and towards the Kiyohime Corrupted as he pulled down the hood of his jacket.
Screeching again, she charged at him, blasting fire at him as he leapt and twisted in the air past the fire, meeting her head on with a drop kick to the face, smashing her into the ground, bouncing off her head and further forwards.
She roared out in pain, but didn't stop moving, slithering past him as he tried to grab her side, only for her to kick him out of the air painfully.
Bouncing across the field he reached out with a hand, digging his fingers into the ground and stopping his airborne travel, crouching as he landed before blasting back into the fight. As she whipped around him, he reached down, the Gan Gun Saber forming into his hands before he slashed at her, leaving a dark muddy cut.
So on the inside both the Corrupted really were the same huh? Go figure.
She screeched again, roaring at him, loud enough to shatter glass as fire poured onto him. Rolling to the side, he managed to avoid most of the fire as he reached a hand down to the handlebar of the Driver before gripping it.
"Let's end this one with a bang why don't we?"
He pulled it out, and smashed it back in.
"EYES OPEN: CU CHULAINN OMEGA DRIVE!"
Leaping up into the air, he moved for a flying kick but stayed floating in the air as lines of red formed at his extended foot. As they quickly formed into their proper shape, he kicked them each with as much force as possible at her.
"GAE BOLG!"
She moved through the air, avoiding them as they blasted at her, but each one bent through the air at unnatural angles, each one aimed directly at her. After all, as far as they were concerned, they had already hit her.
She screeched in pain as countless spears stabbed through her, their barbs extending and multiplying, shredding apart her body and spewing mud across the field.
Landing on the ground, he turned away from her, raising an arm to swipe across his face as he stomped down with his foot, overloading the spears inside of her and making her explode in a ball of fiery glory.
The only thing that remained was a shriveling puddling of mud and a glowing teal center.
"What, over already?" Cu Chulainn asked, as Shirou removed the Eyecon from his Driver, replacing it with his own. Turning back to he walked over to the puddle, crouching down and placing his hand over it as he traced the Eye symbol in the air.
In a shower of light and sparks, a Kiyohime who seemed a lot shorter and with noticeable horns slowly appeared in front of him.
She crouched down to his eye level before he could stand up as she smiled and said, "I'll give you a pass since that thing was controlling me, but please don't tell lies to me as I am now, I might just eat you if you do~" and with a giggle she disappeared, a teal Eyecon forming where she stood. Grabbing it, he sighed silently to himself.
"Guess that means she's fine with working with me then."
Two down.
Thirteen to go.
Standing up, he walked over to his bike, kicking up the kickstand before he drove off back towards his home. At least now there wasn't any risk of people being kidnapped or possibly killed by the Corrupted. Hopefully the next one would not try to drag civilians into this mess.
He didn't know it of course, but he had been watched. Somebody had in fact noticed the armored individual riding through the dead of night with a dragon chasing after him. Stepping out of the shadows as Shirou left, was a black armored figure in a black jacket with blue trim, a blue angular design across his face with twin jagged horns, a Ghost Driver strapped to his waist.
His eyes trailed after Shirou as he turned around a corner, before turning around himself and walking towards a black motorcycle with a girl dressed in fancy western clothing with long blue hair done in drills sat upon, climbing on the bike in front of her and driving in a different direction. So, he mused, there was another Rider in Fuyuki now. As his senpai, he should of course give him a warm welcome at some point.
Two figures, similar yet different from each other rode off into the dead of night. Unknowing of their intertwined destiny yet to come. It should prove to be quite interesting, wouldn't you agree?
OMAKE
Shirou sat alone in his room in the middle of the night, unable to get to sleep with all that had happened to him, looking down at his Eyecon in his hand. With this, he could become a superhero, like the ones he's seen on television or in the magazines!
Nodding to himself, he knew exactly what he had to do.
Standing up, he clicked the button on the Eyecon, its iris shifting to the G symbol as the grinning Ghost Driver formed around his waist. Holding up the Eyecon straight in front of him he moved it down towards the Driver in an exaggerated motion while opening the Driver with his other hand.
"EYE" The Driver screeched out, the fabric starting to form-
"No, no, no…" Before Shirou interrupted it, removing the Eyecon from the Driver and trying again with a different set of hand and arm motions.
"EYE"
"No not that one either…"
And again.
And again.
And a couple more times. Coming up with a transformation sequence was certainly difficult wasn't it?
Eventually he seemed to be satisfied, laughing joyfully to himself as he looked down at his armored self, pulling down the hood of the jacket before pulling it back up and repeating this motion a few times.
"Are you done?" A voice that promised death asked from his doorway.
Turning slowly, he was met with the sight of Rin with her too sweet smile and twitching fist.
And even if he was a ghost, and therefore already dead, he feared for his life at that moment, leaping over to his bedding and laying in it, still transformed.
"Sorry."
"You better be, some of us are actually trying to sleep!"
Further testing could wait till morning.
And Authors Notes.
Well we made it to chapter 2! I'm just as surprised as you are. I'd like to thank everyone who followed and favorited the story so far, you all are far more tolerant with my bad writing than I am. And now I'd like to address the reviews the previous chapter has gotten so far to answer some questions/concerns.
Merendinoemiliano: Yes, the power system is pretty much the freaky abomination offspring of the Prisma and Ghost systems. Will that end well? I don't know, maybe. And on Nobu, not sure if you want her Eyecon to be in Shirou's lineup or for her herself to be a Kamen Rider. The answer for both is [Spoiler and or Red herring]
Guest #1: Bit of a weird thing to complain about, but no. Custom Eyecons mean custom jingles, and it'll be better for me to not butcher the japanese language making them, meaning making them all in english would be necessary for consistency.
Dracus6: I could possibly do that in the future, but only if I came up with a plot that could incorporate the elements of both series (Ex-Aid and Fate/Type-Moon) in a way that I found interesting and motivating to write, possibly something with Extra? Probably just gonna end up doing a one off "team-up" chapter in the future and call it a day cause I'm lazy.
Julianrex: A valid point, but I simply decided that since this was more of a silly crossover at its core this would be the simplest and cleanest way to go about it. Otherwise we'd get things like a red recolor of Ghost and he'd be called something like "Phantom" or "Faker" and I honestly just prefer using Ghost, even if it doesn't work 100% lorewise. But if you do want a lore reason, my excuse is pretty much the cast of Ghost doesn't exist in this multiverse, and the Fate characters are their equivalents with similar enough souls to have the same forms or something technical like that.
Servant Ruler: I appreciate your kind words, but I can't take credit for setting up the goal for Shirou, as the 99 days, while arguably botched by Ghost, was technically the "main plot" of Kamen Rider Ghost. As for further complications? You know it, can't spell Shirou Emiya without suffering. Also secondary protagonist Riders.
Redrangerlegacy: I can not confirm nor deny any of those possibilities.
And to anyone that left a review that I didn't comment on, that's either because it was posted after I wrote this bit, or it wasn't a question/concern/criticism/idea but I read every review and I appreciate every one of them greatly.
Thank you for your time and have a nice day.
