"Difficulties are meant to rouse, not discourage. The human spirit is to grow strong by conflict." - William Ellery Channing

"Strength. Strength is what defines our Legacy."

In a while desert, a man cloaked in a dirty brown cloak and hood walks through the desert, with the large outline of a city off in the horizon near some mountains and flat grass plains. The man walks through desert the sandy wind blowing against the rough fabric covering the man.

"It was the strength that our ancestors carried that brought victory to Humanity."

A dark skinned man overlooks a city on the edge of the desert. He looked out over the city, seeing the people go about their daily lives. The man steps away from the wood railing and back into his room. Where sitting on a display is a pair of Scimitars sitting in a cross pattern, with a belt sitting before the blades, and a scimitar mold sitting against the belt.

"It is our strength that has carried Humanity though the darkest of days."

The cloaked man stops at an opening in the sand where a temple, covered in sand, sits in the center. The Temple is ancient with much of the stone of what once stood crumbling. The man steps on the hill leading down to the temple, he slides down the sand.

"Yet, we also must not forget our Origins and the reason why we fight."

The man walked to the blades sitting on the display. Grabbing them he takes the sheaths and puts the blades into their sheathes. The Cloaked man stands in the center of the courtyard, the man approaches the entrance, only for the ground to begin rumbling. From the sand rises up a giant Snake Grimm.

"Survival, against all the odds, against the Grimm, we fought to survive."

The Grimm slithers circling around the cloaked man. After rounding the man, the Snake lifts its head up before screeching at the man. The sound blows against the man's cloak as he puts up his arm. The wind gust reveals a belt with a pair of blades on the sides of the belt.

"Even as we have made our kingdom's we still are fighting."

The cloaked man takes off the blade still inside their sheaths. The man pulls down a leaver as the handles of the blades tilts to an angle. The sheathes have a barrel extending out of the butt of the sheath. Aiming the barrels at the ground, the man jumps pulling the Triggers just as the snake lunges at the man. The Man flies into the air, the cloak flying off revealing a Rider.

The Rider is based on a Persian Immortal. The undersuit is black, the armor is a bright gold, with outlines of dark grey. The helmet is a gold mouthless mask and helmet with a visible nose, with a scarf wrapping around the forehead, sides of the head, and neck. Scales on the chest undersuit, with gold chestplate with a lion design at the center. No armor around the arm but gold gauntlet around both from the elbow down. Gold hand armor. Wraps sitting under the belt. At the waist is a belt with a design of a forge, an opening on the top right goes down to the center of the forge. At the center is a mold of a chestplate, at the bottom of the belt is a small pull switch that moves the forge. Left of the forge is a Jambiya lever that could be removed. On the sides of the strap are several holders for shotgun shells as well as three speed loaders. Under the belt is skirt armor, with extra armor in strips down the skirt. The feet don't have much armor except at the knee down. With gold and dark grey outlines across the armor and boots.

"As a Kamen Rider it is our duty to ensure the safety of everyone with our strength."

The Rider aims his guns at the Snake and begins firing as he falls back down to the ground. The shots explode against the snake. From the sand flies out the snakes tail that grabs the Rider's leg. The Rider sheathes one the guns, turning the handle back straight before pulling out the blade and cutting the snakes tail.

"So long as we carry the belt, as long as one soul lives. We must continue the fight."

The Rider then jumps onto the tail running down the side of it. Taking aim with the other shotgun, the Rider shoots at the Snake while running. The sand rumbles as two more snakes burst out of the ground and lunge at the Rider. The Rider jumps off the side of the tail, dodging one snake but getting gobbled by the second snake. The Snake's jaw attempts to keep the mouth close, but is forced open by the Rider's pure strength.

"Our strength is necessary for the next generation and beyond."

The Rider then kicks the jaw with such strength that it breaks the jaw of the snake. The Rider readies both blades before cutting the rest of the head off the snake. The man steps into a yard with his belt and the blades. Setting them down, then kneeling down before a throne. The throne has gold, fancy silk, well kept weapons, and several offerings of fruits, books, and an assortment of other items.

"Alborz, the Legacy of a Kamen Rider is one of great challenges. Learn from them, grow from them."

The Rider jumps at the original snake, only for the tail of the second snake to burst out of the sand. The Rider quickly sheates a blade and attempts to shoot the tail, only to be hit by the tail and is flung into the ground. The Rider skips across the sand, and slides across the dunes, tripping and hitting a tall dune. The Rider slowly gets up. The man looks up glancing at a clean bright blue silk cloak. The Rider stands up, sheathing his other blade, the Rider takes both of his weapons and straightening out the grip. Taking the guns off and then putting the tops of the guns together. The Shotguns open and the blades of Symitar extend out to the front of the sheath. The guns connect, as the Rider opens the blade into a massive pair of scissors. The Rider then looks at the snakes who approach him, the second one approaching in fast. The Rider puts out his hand, his hand glows the sand begins to pick up and swirl around as a tornado of sand appears. The Snake stops before the tornado, it glances at the ground to see no sand being picked up. The Snake looks at the Tornado again, only for the Rider to jump out using the blade to stab into the body of the snake, before taking the blade out and jumping to the neck. Opening the blade before closing them on the Snake cutting the head clean off. The Rider jumps off and lands on the ground, the final Snake dives at the Rider.

"1000 nights, 1000 illusions."

The Rider Mutters, jumping back as the snake slams it's head against the sand. The Snake looks up to see three Riders, the Rider charges at the Snake, the snake slides it's tail across the sand hitting the three Riders only for them to disappear upon contact. The Snake Grimm looks around in confusion. The Rider then jumps at the Snakes from nowhere, opening the blade and cutting the head of the snake down the center, the Rider then flips landing on the head of the snake, before proceeding to run down the end of the Snake cutting straight though it. Jumping off the snake and landing back at the entrance of the temple.

"What is your drive? What wishes do you have to drive for such strength?"

The man stands up, his white hair, red eyes, strong body, and dressed in long brown pants, a red shirt. The Rider steps towards the entrance to the temple, the Rider reverts his weapons to normal putting them back on his belt, as he approaches the entrance, he stops upon seeing his cloak hanging off a pillar, it's rough cloak flowing in the wind. The man looks at the throne and the blue cloak sitting on the throne, standing up, he glances at the throne, before looking over at a simple cloak hanging on a hanger. The man stands up, grabbing the belt and blades and grabbing the cloak leaving the room. The Rider grabs the Cloak and puts it back on, walking into the temple.
