Note: Thank you all for following the story! I hope that I can keep you all entertained and focused on my story.
Note 2: I hope you like the ending of this island part of the beginning. Other arcs will be more detailed and longer than this.
~Pov:?~
Crack!
A fist flies cleanly through a tree making it tumble down.
It creates a loud noise that makes a few animals nearby jump but for some reason, they don't run away.
The person openly sighs as he easily grabs the fallen tree from the ground and puts it on his shoulders. Behind him, a few other trees have been removed as well.
He maneuvers around the forest making sure other trees don't get harmed.
He walks with pure power surrounding his body as his masked visage walks with pure purpose.
He arrives outside of the forest near a hill and plops it down on another pile of more trees.
Many animals are crowded around the pile sniffing around and seemingly waiting for something.
The man reaches down and pets a nearby rabbit that's missing one of its limbs. The rabbit has several burn marks on its skin and fur. One of its eyes is half closed but not out of choice.
Despite the injuries, it relaxes under the man's gentle touch.
The other animals around them also seem to be eagerly awaiting a petting as well.
A sparrow with an injured wing surrounded by a flock of burned hummingbirds, a bear with many healing bruises, a deer with its horns chopped up to the base, and a family of squirrels with missing tails.
The man stands up as he checks the pile of trees he's gathered.
Most of the trees were severely burnt and missing most of their leaves. Others seemed to be cut almost to the base before someone stopped cutting for some reason.
The man glared at all of these things as he ponders on his theory of how this could have happened.
Was it his supposed kidnapper(s)?
Did another group of people attack this island before he got here?
Or, did a freak tornado hit this place?
None of that mattered at the moment as he waved in another direction making the animals run farther away.
He separated the burned trees and sliced trees apart as he only had use for the sliced ones.
He grabbed a white booklet from the side of his waist. He grabbed a card that showed a giant gold logo that looked like his mask connected to smaller barcodes on both sides.
Separating the belt around his waist with its handles he inserts the card.
[FINAL ATTACK RIDE:]
Gearing up for his final attack he grabs both handles and pushes the belt together again.
[D-D-DECADE]
Several body-sized transparent cards appeared in front of him before he jumped up in the air and aimed downwards with a kick.
His body traveled through each card before landing on the burnt tree parts exploding them to ash.
The animals around the area looked out in awe at the focused destruction before running towards the figure again.
~Pov: Decade~
I looked around me as the animals yearned for more affection.
It's been one day since I woke up.
One day as being Decade.
Before any of this, I was just a guy fresh out of high school.
My name is Rosario and before all of this, I hoped to find a better job near my home.
I was a man who you'd see as lazy but in truth was just uninspired.
When I became Decade my heart almost raced out of my chest. I could feel the untapped power flowing through my body. I practiced some kicks and punches immediately which led to a few cracked holes on the hills. I immediately tried every card in my arsenal.
But I was shocked.
I was missing the form cards of every Rider I had.
I could become the base form of every protagonist Kamen Rider but none of their gained ones.
This saddened me greatly as a Decade's greatest attribute was turning into all of the side forms as well.
When the sadness and hype died down I looked around me being aware of my surroundings again.
I would have panicked about any possible issues surviving but I already found food before I transformed and my Riders could make fire and water.
I already circled the island earlier with my worry so I decided to explore deeper into the forest.
I was shocked once more.
Animal carcasses filled the ground, trees were either burnt or sliced, and a few live animals were nearby scattering away from me with severe injuries.
That young fox that bit me earlier wasn't the only animal injured on this island.
I immediately grabbed the best rider possible for fixing injuries like this.
After painfully(don't ask) healing all those animals I returned to my base Decade form and hoped to help all the passive animals of this island.
The fox from yesterday was still very wary of me and would hiss whenever I got even close to him.
He was the only fox I've seen on this island so it wasn't hard to guess not only was he grieving from the loss of his family but was angry at me as well.
This made me think other humans might have attacked all of these animals.
The other animals were afraid of me after being healed but realized they could no longer feel the pain and only stayed wary a bit before liking the petting I gave to them.
The sun was beginning to set down and I had to make some sort of shelter for myself. I used numerous powers before creating a fairly small hut.
When I came to, I noticed the animals seemed wary of going to the area where the most damage was done.
I immediately went into the forest and began opening the area up.
This brings us up to now.
As I reassured the animals one more time I couldn't help but notice the fox watching me warily.
It noticed my masked face looking in my direction and sprinted off.
I sighed warily and walked back towards the area of trees again as I had to bury the animals left there.
~Pov:?~
The fox dashed away from the scene with pure hatred in his soul.
The human walking around this island pissed him off more than anything possible.
Every time he looked at him, memories passed through his head.
Fire. Body's flying. Slicing.
Fear ran through him as his family sacrificed everything for his life.
Then a human appears one day later after the pain the inhabitants of this island felt.
He landed in a more shadowed part of the forest as he unleashed his rage on the surrounding foliage.
The rain started pouring around the island as his rage simmered.
Sadness erupted from its core as it grieved once more.
Not knowing something with silver eyes is prowling from the shadows.
It stalked the saddened fox the moment he attacked the foliage in rage.
It slowly and quietly got closer behind the fox aiming to jump at his neck.
A moment passes in the rain.
…
…
And then it pounces!
Before the jumping foe could react the young fox dashed through the side with a snarling gnarl.
The fox looks at his looming foe and quickly realizes it's an adult wolf!
Quickly becoming wary of this threat they both circle around each other wary of what the other would do.
The wolf was wary of the fox because of its recognition of its species' trickiness.
The fox is wary of its opponent's superior strength and size.
The wolf lunges once more hoping to catch the fox off guard but its superior speed allows it to dash away.
Not willing to give up its prey, the wolf dashes ahead.
The fox was getting farther and farther away from the area before the impossible happened.
Its healing injuries acted up!
It froze in mid-air before crashing through multiple branches and landing on the ground. The wolf slows down cautiously walking down towards the fox.
The fox has sprained its ankle not knowing Decade's healing methods still needed him to not overwork his injury.
The wolf realized it wasn't playing dead but was writhing in pain.
It jumps toward the fox biting its sides.
The fox cries out in agony as it is bitten and unknowingly ponders its fate.
Would it die here and join the rest of its family?
Would this death be truly agonizing until the very end?
As he loses consciousness he notices a shadow appearing over himself before the pain disappears.
The fox slowly woke up and gathered its bearings.
It froze when it saw the wolf that attacked it earlier laying across from it but noticed the wolf was wearing numerous healing bruises.
He noticed that he was in an area of the forest missing trees with animals warily staying away from the two.
He didn't have time to ponder more as a voice rang out.
"An animal as rowdy as you should be resting, after all, after all that action."
A slightly deep voice rang out from behind him startling the fox into staring at the, now untransformed, human.
The human sat on a log with his arms crossed and leg over the other.
"Using Kamen Rider Drive to heal your injuries could have possibly killed you since his healing causes massive amounts of pain."
The fox understood nothing that came out of this human's mouth but could understand the feeling of disappointment and worry coloring his voice.
The fox felt a bit cowed by this odd amount of worry being directed from another species.
It didn't have to worry as long as the human rested its hand on his head comforting him.
"A community like this one needs everyone on deck to help each other after a crisis like this. Even that wolf will be needed for its strength."
The animals around got closer to the man as he reassured the fox.
A small bunny rabbit snuggled into the foxes' side to provide comfort.
A bear hugged the small fox. Squirrels provided a few extra nuts they found.
The fox was feeling shocked as all of these species of animals came together to comfort a member of a species that has threatened them for generations.
The human spoke one final time.
"No one here ever deserves to be alone."
~Pov: Ocean~
In the ever surrounding ocean, a small ship is docked out in the middle of nowhere.
The moon illuminates overhead allowing us to see its contents.
The wood surrounding it seemed to be colored white, and its figurehead seemed to have the shape of a cartoon sheep.
The sail seemed to be furled as it is nighttime.
Under the deck there seems to be a room filled with four occupants sleeping with injuries.
We pan over each face before landing on one person whose limbs seemed to stretch off his bed.
Unconsciously he starts to smile dreaming of tomorrow's adventures with his friends.
