"The Spartians do not ask how many are the enemy, but where they are." - Plutarch

The Sun rises as a metal boot steps into the center of an arena. A Figure walks over a grassy hill, a young man with natural blond hair, red eyes, and a tall muscular build. The Man carried with him nothing but short pants and a cloak. The man walks down the hill, to a dissipating corpse of a grimm. A large dark figure moving into the shadows of the forest ahead.
"We live by Choice, not by chance. We come into this world and make our place in this world."
In an arena, an armored Rider stands ready with a shield and spear. From gate across the Rider, the sounds of footsteps approach. A large snake face creeps out of the shadows of the gate, followed by the Lion head, connected on a goat body. The Chimera Grimm steps into the light, then roars at the Rider.
The Rider is based on a Spartan Hoplite. The Undersuit is Black, armor is gold, fabric in red and white. The gold Helmet completely covers the face, with decorative imagery on the head and cheeks, black eye visor that has a bar running down the middle from the nose to the chin, from the top of the head to the back is red fur sticking out. The Chestplate is made like a top form chest and abs, around the neck is a red cape. Arms are gold with black undersuit. 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 Spear, at the bottom of the belt is a small pull switch that moves the forge. Left of the forge is a Spear blade combo lever that could be removed. A Skirt under the belt. The legs have gold armor with gold boots. With him is a Shield, Spear, and a Kopis. The Shield has a titanium color with a warm brown interior ring, with a center of titanium. The Spear is able to change into a sniper. The Kopis is a basic blade.
"We choose our path of life. We shape our life through our experiences."
The Young man runs and jumps over a root. He runs through the trees, following the shadow figure jumping through the trees. The Rider stares at the Chimera before him. Tightening his grip on the shield. The Rider enters a battle stance, putting his shield and spear out, pointing at the Chimera.
"Stand firm, stand as the wall that defends humanity."
The Young man exits the forest and into a canyon, the shadow has led him into a narrow passageway. In the passage lies the skeletons, armor, weapons, and cloaks of fallen warriors. The Shadow climbs up the passage before turning to look at the young man. The Young man looks at the Shadow, he nervously enters a battle stance.
"The possibility of Death is inevitable for all. Yet we must not be afraid of it's approach. No, rather we must accept it when it arrives."
The Chimera lunges at the Rider. Putting up his Shield, the Rider catches and tosses away the Chimra into the wall behind the Rider. The Rider spins around jumping back while slashing at the Chimra's Snake tail that lunges at the Rider. The Snake bites the edge of the shield. The Rider stabs the tip of the spear into the throat of the snake, the Rider then grabs his kopis and jams it into the other side of the neck. The Rider then grabs and twists the snake's neck and cracks it. Pulling the blades out, he jumps back.
"For us, for a Rider, there is no greater honor to fight and die for another."
The Young man is knocked back, he looks at the shadow. The veil of shadow is cast off revealing a large Manticore Grimm. The Young man begins to shuffle back trying to make some distance, when his hand bumps into a blade. The Manticore lunges at the young man. Grabbing the blade the young man gets to his feet and jumps at the manticore.
"Life and death is one of the inevitable truths, but how we reach these truths is the choices we make."
The Rider puts his shield, blocking the incoming slash from the Chimera with the slash being directed to the ground behind the Rider. The Rider then spins around, slamming the shield into the Chimera, then upper cutting with the shield. The Chimera falls down with it's belly exposed. The Rider grabs both weapons and readies them in both hands. Jumping onto the Chimera stabbing the Chimera in the chest. Grabbing the spear and pushing the blade further. The Chimera tries to shake off the Rider. After a few seconds of shaking, the Chimera goes limb.
"Our choice is either we stand up and fight, or to sit down and accept death. Riders are the ones never back down. Ones who refuse to accept the end."
The Young man falls into a cave, using his cloak to carry blades and a shield. He drops the cloak and lies against the wall of the cave. Outside the cave, sounds of footsteps could be heard as the Manticore watches the cave entrance, waiting. The Young man catches his breath, before looking at the mass of weapons parts and the shield he brought with him.
"It's either you return with victory or return on your shield."
The Rider looks up, with the corps of the Grimm fading away. More Chimera Grimm begin to climb into the arena. The Rider sheathes his blade, grabbing his spear. He twirls the spear as it shifts, transforms into a DMR. Taking aim, he begins shooting, the shots hits though the brains killing multiple Chimera Grimm.
"So rise up. You choose to become someone, or no one."
The Young man begins to look though the weapons at his disposal. Eventually picking up two broken spear heads. The Manticore looks into the cave, only for the two spear heads to be jammed into the eyes. The Manticore stumbles back roaring as it stumbles to the ground. The Young man steps out, carrying the shield with weapons strapped to the shield with cloth. Two blades with their handles snapped off, are strapped to the shield.
"Ancestor Spirits, grant me your collective strength."
A Chimera jumps at the Rider. The Rider ducks under the Chimera and shoots the Chimera in the head while it flies over head. The Chimera drops to the ground dead. More Chimera approach, the Rider holsters his rifle on inside of the shield, along with connecting his Kopis to the shield. Turning the shield 90 degrees, the rifle connects to a module that changes the gun into a double barreled assault Rifle. The Edges of the shield plates shift onto the Kopis making a larger blade.
"I will bring Honor and victory to our clan."
The Young man charges in holding his shield out in front of him. In a random swipe, the Manticore claws at the shield, one of the claws cuts across the right eye of the young boy, as well as marking the shield with three large scratches. The Young man keeps running, pulling a blade from the makeshift holster on the shield and stabbing it into the left leg. Then grabbing a broken spear head, he stabs that into the right leg. Then grabbing two broken broken shield pieces with makeshift handles are stabbed into the back legs. The Manticore lies on the ground. The Young man climbs up on the Manticore, readying his shield. Lifting it up before slamming it into the head of the Manticore.
"Grant me Victory oh ancient ones!"
The Rider takes aim, shooting at the Chimera surrounding him. A Chimera lunges at the Rider. The Rider flips out his blade and slices down, cutting the Chimera in half. More Chimeras approach, the Rider cuts and guns down as many as he can. The Rider reaches to the lever on his belt and brings it down. "SpearBlade Fall!" A bombastic voice says from the belt, as every last Chimera lunges at the Rider.. The Rider brings up his fist before slamming it into the ground, the Chimera's pile up on the Rider. A blade pierces through a Chimera head, as the blade swings though Chimeras before finally begin gunned off the Rider, with no damage to his armor. All the Grimm lay dead.
"So… You have Chosen your path… Elias. No, Kamen Rider."
Elias stands with his shield, blade, and spear. Around him are other older men kneeling in respect of the young man, with his scar on his eye Elias looks at the elder who kneels down handing a belt to him. The Rider removes his armor, his scar still on his face.
