Been a little bit since the last one, at least a month right?
Welp, here's the next chapter.
Also, the guys who are saying my story is shit because I chose Marvel... why are you even reading this then?
Leave if you don't like it, simple as that, I'm not forcing you to read my work.
READ THIS NEXT PART IF NOTHING ELSE!
Now, there's trouble going on around the website again, because of a fucking hacker.
They managed to set up a virus that activates when you visit the profile page of an infected author, which will jump onto your account, and allow them to take control.
To spot if you've been infected, check for any extra line of code in your profile page, and delete it, also, remove any backup e-mails you didn't add yourself, then change your password.
I also recommend backing up stories, just to be on the safe side.
If you MUST visit someone's profile page, do so when logged off at the very least.
Anyway, with that out of the way, let's get started.
"...and in recent events, a new Superhero has appeared. Earlier today during an attack by the Sinister Six on a local mall, they were defeated by the appearance of a mysterious new hero." the news reporter said, before a clip of the incident was played. "Interesting enough, this hero went up to them while still in civilian form, and as a result, you can see his face well enough before he equipped the armor he used to fight. What are your thoughts on this, Donny?" she asked her partner next to her.
"Well Kate, from what I can tell this new hero, 'Kamen Rider Decade', as he seems to call himself, seems to not care much about maintaining a secret identity. Though, I think we can all agree you gotta respect a guy who has the guts to go into a fight dressed in pink...and kick the butts of 6 notorious criminals while doing it," Donny laughed.
"Actually Donny, I'm pretty sure that's Magenta," Kate shrugged. "At any rate, there's no doubt that he's quite powerful, if this video depicting him single handedly defeating the entire Sinister Six is anything to go by."
"Though it seems he's also not alone in this, as seen here, after beating a hasty retreat after a few interviews, he was seen leaving the scene on what appears to be a custom bike, and with someone else at that. Whatever the case, I think all our viewers can agree that we're all curious as to what this new super will bring…"
"Well… that happened." said a redheaded woman as she looked at the news from where she was on the couch.
"I don't know if I should be happy or sad that this guy's first news coverage was neutral." added a man with short brown hair as he leaned on the back of the couch right behind her.
"Your own was bad because of Jameson though, it helps he retired a few years back and now the news is less biased." the woman shot back.
"Yeah… but JJJ still has his radio show though, so there's still SOME people that listen to him." the man said with a sigh.
"Come on Peter." the woman patted his cheek with a laugh "I know you're not actually that glum about it."
"Yeah, you're right." Peter chuckled "Honestly, you're pretty much always right MJ."
"Isn't that why you married me though?" MJ asked with a smirk.
"Part of it." Peter said with a shrug. "Though...with how he suddenly showed up from nowhere and didn't even hide his identity...I get the feeling Fury is going to be on his case soon enough," Peter mused.
True enough, SHIELD Headquarters…
"Sir?" one of the operators started as they walked up to a stern looking bald man with an eye patch.
"Anything?" the man asked sternly.
"That's the thing sir...we've found absolutely nothing." the operator said, bringing up an enhanced image to show Andrew's face. "We've cross checked all databases. No matches, no identification, nothing. Not even the armor matches any known makers, and judging by how it just formed over him, its at least on par with Stark's."
"None?" the man said with a barely raised eyebrow, but his surprise was obvious nonetheless "Not a name, not a home, not even his age?"
"Well…" the operator looked a bit nervous "We know he's married, most likely to the woman he was with if the security cameras are anything to go by."
The man huffed "Better than nothing."
"We've found something else," another operator said, pulling out a new sheet of paper. "Seems there are odd reports going around. Namely, there's a house that 'wasn't there before' or so eyewitnesses say."
The man blinked at that "Excuse me… did you say a house that wasn't there before? Are we dealing with magic here?"
"It's… possible sir, we'll need to check the cameras for that street to give a proper response." the operator said, honestly just as confused.
"Get to it then." the man nodded, before looking at the still image. "I don't know who you are, or why you're here, but I fully intend to find out," he said with a slight glare.
(Play Opening: Journey Through The Decade)
The Destroyer of Worlds, Decade. What do these eyes see as he travels through the many worlds?
The scene breaks away as several red cards fly through the air, before attaching to and completing Decade's armor. Decade soon looking across the screen, as around him the many blank cards float around the room.
Miageru hoshi
The scene changes to show Alicia with her hands over Andrew's eyes, before she removes them and he opens his eyes with the scene focusing on his left eye.
sorezore no rekishi ga kagayaite
The scene transitions from his eye to show a spinning dial, then finally the Decadriver as the mask of the 18 Riders appear as faded images and move towards their respective symbols from the center of the Driver. The scene then changes to a quick shot of the Machine Decader parked among a quarry, before the scene changes again to show a blank card spinning in the air before Andrew catches it.
Seiza no you sen de musubu shunkan hajimaru Legend
The scene changes to show an empty street as various Riders are seen before vanishing, followed by a shot of Alicia, and a shadowy silhouette behind her. The scene changes to show a quick shot of Michael sitting on a railing as several faded images of past Riders appear around him, the scene transitioning to a shot of the shadowy figure raising its hand towards Alicia from behind as the images continue to appear.
AURORA yurameku jikuu koete Tobikomu meisou suru Parallel world
The scene changes to show an army of monsters charging forward, before the scene shifts to show faded images of the 18 riders charging forward to meet their enemies in battle. The scene changes to show the shadowed figure touching Alicia causing her to fade away before the scene cuts to Andrew with a seemingly shocked expression as the view around him shows multiple worlds while the side of his face rapidly morphs to show half the masks of the various riders. The scene changes to show a shot of Michael holding a rider belt, followed by a scene of Andrew standing amongst the 18 Riders.
On the road dare mo tabi no tochuu Hontou no jibun jishin deau tame
The scene changes to show Decade who turns around, as around him various Kaijin surround him, before the scene shifts to Andrew getting on the Machine Decader, Alicia behind him as they ride off to parts unknown. The scene changes to the closing Decadriver, as Decade fights his way through the army of Kaijin destroying one after another, while around him the other Riders join in, cutting their way through the army of monsters.
Atarashii yoake e to tsuzuku michi ni kawaru no darou
The scene changes to show a tired looking Andrew looking up, as he is given the Decadriver and Ride Booker. The scene then changes to show Andrew and Alicia riding on a street as another bike rides alongside them, then a scene of Decade fighting several monsters again alongside the other Riders.
Mokugekise yo Journey through the Decade
Decade is seen kicking the screen as it reveals him kicking aside an enemy while explosions occur through the field he and the Riders are fighting in, followed by a quick shot of Alicia smiling in encouragement. The final scene shows Decade bursting through a Dimensional Veil on the Machine Decader, as the images of the other Riders appear around him, before the title is seen.
The morning started fairly normally for Andrew and Alicia. They woke up, got dressed, prepared breakfast, watched the news…
"At least someone gets the color right," Andrew commented with a piece of toast in his mouth.
"Still, was it really the smartest thing to do things the normal Rider way?" Alicia asked.
"Maybe, maybe not," Andrew shrugged. "But with how this world works, I'll bet we'll be having some uninvited guests in 3...2...1," he said, right before a bang was heard on the door. Not someone knocking hardly, more like someone trying to ram the door down. Then it happened again. Then again, and this time there was a groan of pain.
"Indestructible house… that's a perk I guess." Alicia said, before glancing at her husband who looked rather giddy.
Finishing up his breakfast, he walked over to the door, looked through the peephole, then turned to Alicia. "Honey, SHIELD's here," he joked, right as another bang sounded, this one sounding like someone decided to try something a bit more… destructive… but once again the door held. "I think they're trying, and failing, to break into the house."
"You gonna let them in?" Alicia asked with a smirk.
"Only once they actually stop trying to break the door down." he told her, just an octave lower so he wouldn't be heard through the door, before going to look through the peephole again, enjoying the sight of SHIELD agents trying to break the door down, and many of them getting bruised for it.
After a few minutes, it started to get boring, so he waited for them to finish an attempt, though he was glad they hadn't resorted to calling in the Avengers to break down the door so far, because he didn't want to know if his house could hold up against an assault from that caliber… or, you know, an angry Hulk.
Once the latest attempt finished, he unlocked the door, seeing them tense as if expecting a fight, before he slowly opened it just a smidge, looking through the crack… and he decided to just troll them more "I get that this is your job, but we don't take kindly to rude people in this house." he said, before closing it again and locking it back up, walking away from it as he fell into laughter, and Alicia wasn't faring better, as she had been watching the whole thing.
After a few minutes, the next sound that came was knocking. "Yes?" he asked when he opened the door a little, since this time they were actually being polite. He was met with the sight of one of the more likeable operatives of SHIELD, Coulson. "Can I help you?"
Coulson smiled at him, some amusement in his face, he could tell that Andrew had been messing with the other agents out of pure merriment, and honestly, he couldn't blame him "I'm Agent Coulson from SHIELD, we'd need you to come with us to answer some questions."
"This is about me beating up the Sinister Six yesterday, right?" Andrew asked knowingly.
"Correct. To be honest, we have absolutely no idea who you are, and it's driving Director Fury mad." Coulson admitted.
"And I'm getting this feeling Stark is on the Helicarrier and is finding Fury's anger amusing." Andrew hazarded a guess.
"Tony IS rather predictable isn't he?" Coulson said with a smirk.
"Pretty much," Andrew nodded. "So how we going to do this? You planning on coming in or would you prefer to haul me somewhere else?"
"The director wants to interrogate you personally, so you'll have to come with us." Coulson said with a shrug.
"Well, alright, mind letting me and my wife finish up first before we head out?" Andrew requested.
"Of course, I'll inform the director you're coming peacefully, it might give him a bit of time to calm down." Coulson said with a slight upwards twitch of his lips.
A few minutes later. "So...are we getting into whatever vehicle you used or is there a mandatory blindfold and gag protocol?" Alicia couldn't help but ask.
In response, Coulson nodded his head towards the VTOL that was blocking the road at the moment.
"Of course you guys clog up traffic for a possible national security." Andrew said with a laugh as he locked the house behind him before boarding the plane which quickly took off towards the Helicarrier high up in the sky.
An hour or so later had Andrew sitting in a fairly standard looking interrogation room, while they'd already taken the Decadriver and Ride Booker (he made sure to supply them with the names so they didn't go and name them something else), and...honestly didn't look the least bit worried, much to the quirked eyebrows of the guards. "What? I came here by my own free will. Why should I be worried?" he deadpanned, to which the guards shrugged, inwardly admitting he made a good point.
Eventually though, the door opened and in came the unmistakable form of Nick Fury… unless it was someone with some shapeshifting magic or something.
Seriously, who knew in this fucking world, comic books and all that jazz. Anyway, back to Nick Fury… "So...is this the part where we exchange pleasantries, or would you rather cut to the chase?" he joked.
"I'd rather cut to the chase, considering you're offering it." Nick said seriously, standing with his arms behind his back.
"Go right ahead… also, Stark is totally watching from that two sided mirror isn't he?" Andrew idly asked as he glanced to the side.
"He is yes." Nick answered with a frown as he looked at the mirror, and could practically feel Tony's cheeky grin beyond it.
"So, let me guess. Since I showed myself in public TV, you probably went and checked and found...nothing on me. And I mean NOTHING. If you did then I'd be really surprised seeing as my wife and I aren't even from this world. And no, not an alien. I'm from Earth...in another dimension. Don't you just love string theory?" Andrew said without missing a beat.
"ANOTHER one?" Nick said incredulously.
"Already encountered some before huh? I bet it was a headache and a half dealing with that." Andrew said with a sigh and a shake of his head.
"Yes, but that is another issue. Now, why are you here?" Nick asked after sighing in annoyance.
"Ideally? Maybe it'll undo the damage done to our world. No clue really. Last we saw before we ended up like this was our city on fire with monsters quite literally pouring out of the woodwork," Andrew sighed. "All I know for sure is my wife and I were just kicked into a dimension hopping journey, and we weren't even expecting to end up on this world."
"How so?" Nick asked with a raised eyebrow, finding that matter more pressing than the potential threats.
"The thing we use to decide what world we go to is an old TV, and I mean like, one of the first color TV models. Adjust the dial to change the channel, and the image shown determines the world our house ends up appearing on. Case in point, we saw Spider-man along with a few of his allies on our TV and we wound up in a New York that has his enemies in it." Andrew explained with a shrug.
"We'll have to examine that TV then." Nick said with a thoughtful look.
"Don't bother, it's literally unplugged, has nothing in it and is more of a collection piece, plus it doesn't want to move from its spot anymore. I know. I tried." Andrew said with an aggravated sigh.
Nick grunted in annoyance at that "Alright then, what about those monsters you talked about, anything we should be worried about?"
"I doubt it, but I guess knowing the names of the species might help if I'm proven wrong." Andrew said, before clearing his throat "Gurongi, Lord, Mirror Monster, Orphenoch, Undead, Makamou, Worm, Imagin, Fangire, Dopant, Yummy/Greeed, Zodiarts, Phantom, Inves, Roidmude, Ganma, Bugster and Smash. Oh, and of the bunch, you'll probably want to watch out for the Worms the most. Think the Skrulls, only much more relentless and with the delightful ability to move at near light speed. If you can confirm some, kill them, and don't stop shooting till they're dead."
"Names are helpful, but what do they look like?" Nick pressed further.
"I should have images on my phone, I handed it over to the tech guy who took my Driver." Andrew said with a shrug.
"Driver?" Nick asked while signalling through the two way mirror, no doubt to have Andrew's phone brought.
"The designation for a Neo-Heisei Henshin Device, all of them are known as Drivers, prior to that, they all had different names." Andrew explained simply.
"Interesting that you'd use Japanese words like that. Not to mention referring to the Heisei era of Japan. Care to explain?" Nick mused, picking up on the trend of wording.
"I simply prefer to use the term Henshin over Transform or Transformation, it's a matter of keeping it short, as for Heisei, that's just because that my predecessors, well, most of them, started up during the Heisei era, Neo-Heisei though is a term for the heroes that came to be after the original Decade, as I'm the second to carry that name." Andrew said, trying not to get too technical.
Nick looked like he wanted to say more, but by then an agent came in carrying Andrew's phone. With that, Nick took the phone, and began looking for the pictures.
"They should be in the image folder called KR Enemies." Andrew supplied helpfully, Nick pausing for a moment before looking for the named folder, finding it after a moment, and he started to look through the images. When he got to the images…
"Well...they seem friendly," he said sarcastically as he went through some of the images. "And you're sure they won't cross over to our world?"
"I'm HOPING they don't cross over. But in the event they do...well...shoot to kill," Andrew sighed.
Meanwhile, in the SHIELD tech lab, several agents were examining the Decadriver which had been taken apart, the team having found to their surprise that the device had been made in such a way that it could be relatively easily disassembled then reassembled.
It was clear whoever built it had did so fully expecting someone to try and disassemble it.
Yet, even when analyzing every component, they couldn't find any answers as to how the device worked. In fact, one of them even tried to use the device themselves...and well...quickly found out the hard way that it was apparently DNA locked to Andrew, courtesy of an electric shock.
"Wow, I heard you all were having trouble, but I didn't think it was that bad," came the voice of Tony Stark as he walked into the lab, noting the rather...singed...agent, and walked over to the table with the Decadriver and Ride Booker. "So this is the little bad boy that makes his armor." he hummed as he looked the Decadriver over "Anything you couldn't identify in it?"
"Just the power source, we aren't sure what it is." one of the techs admitted as he showed the results to Tony.
Tony rose an eyebrow as he looked the results over "Huh… an unknown element… looks manmade to boot." he mused, likening it to the element he'd managed to create based on his father's information. However, he could tell this was quite different. "So what did you find other than the power source? How does this thing work?" he asked, wanting to see what they'd found so far.
"From what we can tell, the power source is somehow able to run indefinitely. Furthermore, the key seems to be the card system this device uses. By itself, its nothing much, but when used in conjunction with the cards which result in a signal being sent based on the card used, it seems like it triggers the power source to go into overdrive which summons the armor, which we believe may be stored in some kind of hammerspace," one of the researchers aid.
"The belt has a pocket dimension huh? Not something you see everyday." Tony mused. "DNA locked?" he asked, noticing the singed agent.
"Yes," they sighed.
"Not surprising. I know I wouldn't want just anyone being able to use something like this," Tony nodded. "Anything else?"
"Well...from what we can tell, depending on the 'code' or 'signal', this system can create a dramatic range of effects, all depending on the card used," one of the researchers said, laying out the cards that weren't blank.
Tony looked at the cards present "So… some of these are armors, some are weapons, and some are bikes. The signal can affect more than just him then."
"From what we can tell, despite being separate units, his weapons and vehicle are all interlinked by some kind of shared system centered around the belt, or Driver, as he called it. I'd even say the Driver is the core component to the entire system, so if it were to be destroyed, the whole thing would collapse," the researcher explained. "Of course, despite being easily disassembled, the components are actually very sturdy. We estimate it could take a punch from Luke Cage at full power and still hold up… though we're unsure if the same would happen if the Hulk were to try."
"Not much can stay standing in front of an angry Bruce." Tony said simply as he looked at some of the cards, picking a few up "Huh, these ones are interesting, Black and Black RX… and these two are called Form Rides but the others are all Kamen Rides." he noted. "So, think we could possibly replicate this...with a few modifications of course," he smirked a bit. After all, it wasn't every day they got to look at technology from an alternate world.
"You'll either have to ask Director Fury, or the owner of the belt." the researcher answered with a roll of their eyes, not surprised that Tony was interested in replicating some new tech.
"Fair enough," Tony chuckled. As if on cue, there was a call from Nick Fury.
"Yes sir? Understood," the agent taking the call said with a nod. Once the call ended. "The Director called. He says he'd like to see the gear in action."
"But we can't use it," one of the researchers protested.
"Which is why we're not going to be testing it. Its user is."
"Well...this should be interesting," Tony mused. He also wanted to see what this baby could do.
"So… who are you making me fight?" Andrew asked asked as he stepped into a training arena on board the Helicarrier, looking to the side where quite a few people were watching with Fury, like Stark himself, Hawkeye, Black Widow, Captain America, Falcon, Coulson, and of course Alicia.
"Someone you'd at least have a fighting chance against judging from how you handled the Sinister Six." Fury answered.
"I feel like I've just been insulted," Andrew deadpanned, before shrugging. He wasn't so proud as to think he could take on the Avengers. They weren't among the top heroes of this world for nothing after all. He soon got his answer though when the person who came in on the other side was...Flash Thompson, aka Agent Venom.
Andrew blinked a bit, but played the part of the guy who didn't know since Flash wasn't in his suit "So… who are you?"
"Agent Flash Thompson." Flash said with a grin "AKA the guy they called up to see how good you are in a fight."
"I see, fair enough then. You have a superpower?" Andrew asked as he strapped the Decadriver to his waist.
"Sort of." Flash said with a grin, before the black mass of the symbiote spread over his body, the white spider prominent on his armored chest, honestly, he looked like a heavily armored version of the black suit… which was kind of a scary thought "You can call me Agent Venom."
"Well then, it's a pleasure to meet you. I'm sure the news said it, but you can call me Kamen Rider Decade," Andrew said as he opened the Driver and pulled out the Kamen Ride Card for Decade. "Remember that. Henshin!"
"KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!"
Tony hummed in thought as he watched Decade's transformation "Holograms solidifying into a proper armor, why 18 of them though? Why not a rounder number like 20?"
"Because the other 2 Heisei Riders are Decade himself, and another with similar powers, both can access the abilities of the other 18 Heisei Riders, Decade by literally copying, and the other by wearing extra armor based on their own." Alicia answered.
"Huh...so those holograms are the other 18 then," Tony mused. Seemed this armor had a LOT of surprises.
Back to the fight…. "Shall we begin?" Decade chuckled as he ran a hand along his blade.
"In a hurry to get your butt kicked?" Agent Venom joked.
"Nope. Are you?" Decade laughed before the two charged forward, Agent Venom immediately shooting some webs to try to snare Decade, but he was ready. "ATTACK RIDE: SLASH!"
Decade managed to defend against the webs as they were cut apart by the flashing blades, before he went for Agent Venom and lashed out, but Agent Venom quickly evaded the attack by ziplining to the ceiling, and from there, pulled out his guns and opened fire. Sparks flew from Decade's armor, but he quickly rolled out of the way, while shifting his weapon to gun mode and returning fire. Once again however, Agent Venom evaded.
"Well that's getting annoying. Let's try something else." Andrew said and drew a card, inserting it into the DecaDriver with a cry of "Henshin!" "KAMEN RIDE: BLACK RX!" His body glowed bright, forcing many to look away from the intensity of the light, and when it faded, he was clad in the armor of Kamen Rider Black RX.
"A new armor? Does it have different abilities?" Captain America wondered.
"I think I know what he's doing." Alicia said with a knowing smile, which grew when her husband drew another card and slotted it in "FORM RIDE: BIO RIDER!" his body gave off a rainbow light, before he was clad in the blue armor of RX's Bio Rider form.
"Okay, light show aside, I'm guessing that's supposed to help you somehow," Agent Venom mused.
"Why don't you find out?" Decade chuckled, to which Agent Venom took the bait, shooting several shots at him...which passed right through his body without issue.
"Okay, that's different," Agent Venom admitted, before going for a blast of webbing...only for Decade to suddenly shift into a liquid form and evade the attack.
"He can turn into water?" Hawkeye asked in surprise.
"Probably something unique to that form." Black Widow mused, before looking at Alicia "Am I correct?"
"You are, the Bio Rider form, also known as the Prince of Anger, allows RX to turn into liquid to pass through attacks harmlessly." Alicia answered.
"Prince of Anger?" Falcon blinked.
"The original user gained this form due to said emotion and desire to ensure the safety of his friends who had been captured by his enemies. Hence the title," Alicia shrugged.
Back to the fight, the battle had become somewhat see saw, as neither side seemed able to inflict any lasting damage to the other.
"Okay, this is really not going anywhere," Decade mused as he slashed at Agent Venom with his energy sword.
"Yeah, this is getting a bit...long," Agent Venom admitted. "How about we finish this quickly," he suggested.
"Works for me," Decade shrugged.
"That won't be necessary. I think we've seen enough," Nick said, stopping the spar.
"Even though I only changed into one other rider?" Decade mused curiously as he reverted to base form.
"It'll be plenty, I wanted to see how the suit worked in general, and I have." Fury explained, earning a nod from Decade.
A few hours later had Andrew and Alicia in town, albeit with a few additions."I know its for security, but…" Andrew sighed as he and his wife had trackers on them as well as a few escorts in the crowd. "Still annoying."
"Just bare with it. They're just doing their jobs," Alicia sighed, earning a small nod from Andrew.
"They won't be enough to save you Decade." a voice suddenly said from nowhere.
Andrew froze "Oh please god no." he said, before suddenly a silver veil slammed into him and Alicia, dragging them somewhere else.
When their vision cleared they were in what appeared to be a baseball stadium...with a rather unwelcome person standing not far away from them. He was unmistakable, wearing a long trench coat, a fisherman's hat, and a pair of glasses on his face.
"Narutaki…" Andrew said with a growl as he edged closer to stand in front of Alicia "Come to scream at everyone I'm a destroyer I'm guessing?"
"You say that like it is anything but the truth. All who wear that armor can only bring calamity," Narutaki said. "However, you have only just begun, and I feel generous. Give up the armor now, and I will let you live in this new world you ended up in, you will never see me again." Narutaki offered, holding his out to obviously accept the Driver.
"Surprisingly generous, but no," Andrew said. "I got the armor for a reason, and frankly, your track record of how you 'help', leaves much to be desired."
Narutaki frowned "So be it. Then I will ensure you are destroyed before you may bring calamity to any worlds."
"Can't be any worse that what you'll do for your crazy crusade," Andrew shot back.
Instead of responding, Narutaki waved his hand, and the two were promptly covered by a veil, reappearing back on the street they'd been moments ago. However, right as they got up, another veil appeared, and two figures stepped out. "Well...he's not wasting time in pulling out something...big…" Andrew admitted.
"Oh great… these two." Alicia swallowed nervously, as before them, stood Kamen Rider Psyga, and Kamen Rider Orga.
"Stay back Alicia, this is gonna get ugly," Andrew frowned as he put on the Decadriver. As he was doing that though, the two Dark Riders began advancing...or they would have if they didn't suddenly have web on their faces.
"Two against one isn't very fair if you ask me, so how about we even the odds?" a voice said from up above, before it's owner touched down on the ground in a crouch and stood up, revealing themselves to be Spider-man.
Andrew smirked "Glad to have you along."
"Well, what can I say, you saved my son's life yesterday, I thought I could return the favor." Spider-man shot back, a grin under his mask.
"Then let's teach these two a lesson," Andrew chuckled before inserting the Decade card with a cry of 'Henshin!'. "KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!"
"So what do we got here? Some old nemeses coming after you? Hit men? Random villain looking to make a name?" Spider-man asked as they began fighting, Orga going for Decade, and Psyga going for him.
"A bit of column A and column B," Decade grunted, his sword clashing against Orga's.
"Ah, so hired guns from an old enemy, yeah, that's always a problem." Spider-man said with a nod as he webbed Psyga after jumping over him and tried to drag him down to earth… not very easy, and the attempt was aborted when Psyga pushed his jets further and burned off the web attached to his back.
"Careful! Don't underestimate Dark Riders, especially not these two who use the Emperor Belts!" Decade warned.
"That sounds scary alright, but what does it mean exactly?" Spider-man asked as he weaved through blaster fire.
"They're basically using what were supposed to be the 'final versions' of a series of Gears intended to protect the 'King' of a race of monsters. Orga is supposed to be the emperor of the land, while Psyga is the emperor of the sky, so naturally one is really strong and the other can fly," Decade explained, trying to make a nutshell explanation, while dodging swings from Orga.
"Well… good thing I have webs then." Spider-man said as he webbed himself up to Psyga and kicked him in the face, before jumping away from a grab.
"I don't know who's actually under these things, but take out the belt. If you do either they'll disappear, or at least lose the transformation!" Decade said, before slotting in a card. "ATTACK RIDE: BLAST!" and began firing at Orga who failed to block properly...but his stronger defense held.
"Uh, by disappear… does that mean they would die?" Spider-man asked hesitantly.
"I know most of you heroes have a code to follow, but if they were stupid enough to put on those belts while being perfectly human, they were likely monster with human skin who wanted those belts for their own goals." Decade answered seriously. "Putting on one of those belts save for the Delta Gear, is a GUARANTEED death sentence to any human, so either these guys are something that bastard summoned, or they're Orphenochs using the armors!"
"And an Orphenoch is some kind of literal monster, right?" Spider-man found himself asking.
"They see themselves as a superior race to humans, and most are actually born from a human dying, either through natural causes, or by having an Orphenoch kill them." Decade explained. "Think vampires, zombies, werewolves, that kind of jazz."
"Okay, that makes it a bit better," Spider-man admitted.
"Less qualms about killing those huh?" Decade asked knowingly.
"I helped Blade drive a stake into Morbius, what do you think?" Spider-man shot back.
"Huh… funny you mention that name, there's a Kamen Rider Blade, and don't worry, I know you meant the vampire hunter." Decade mused.
"Really? Well… pretty odd." Spider-man noted, before shrugging. With that bit of banter done, he immediately backflipped to avoid a strike from Psyga and soon used his webs to get some height, the two soon fighting in mid-air, Spider-man having had a decent amount of experience with flying enemies.
On the ground, Decade continued to duel with Orga, the Dark Rider having a good amount of power, but Decade being faster and more creative. So fat it seems dodging and trying to parry him wasn't really working, so with that in mind… "Time for someone with a bit more...punch," he mused, before getting some distance and pulling out a new card, before slotting it in. "KAMEN RIDE: SUPER-1!" His body gave off a sparkling glow, before he was clad in the armor of Kamen Rider Super-1, flexing his hands a bit as he wore the Super Hand gloves
Orga didn't seem impressed, as he charged forward, but Decade evaded the sword swing, and countered with a punch to the chest, sending Orga skidding back. "They weren't kidding when they called these Super Hands," he chuckled. Orga soon tried attacking him again, but this time Decade soon gained a better advantage as he made sure to evade the attacks and counter with a barrage of strong punches, making use of the gloves to cause as much damage as possible. "Let's see how you like a little shock," Decade mused as he inserted a new card. "ATTACK RIDE: ELEK HANDS!" with that his Super Hands were replaced with the blue Elek Hands, and when Orga came close, he was suddenly electrocuted when Decade grabbed him by the arm, causing his suit to spark and have a few malfunctions. A last explosion caused Orga to tumble back, but Decade wasn't letting him regain any bearings. "Elek Beam!" Decade called out as the high voltage electricity was fired at Orga, causing even more damage.
"And now let's end this!" Decade said as he picked another card. "ATTACK RIDE: POWER HANDS!" and once he was equipped with the red Power Hands, Decade pulled out a familiar golden card. "FINAL ATTACK RIDE: S-S-S-SUPER-1!"
With that, Decade jumped forward, right arm cocked back. "Megaton Punch!" he called out as he struck with the full force of the Power Hands, Orga getting it square in the chest, before getting sent flying back, before he crashed into a wall and exploded.
"Did you just blow up that guy?!" Spider-man asked in shock as he zipped out of the way of a rushing Psyga, the Rider crashing into a wall.
"I just used an attack called Megaton Punch, what did you think was gonna happen?" Decade asked with a raised eyebrow from behind his mask. "Sides, most of the Riders fight monsters. Blowing up the enemy in a flashy explosion is practically tradition now."
"Just don't do that with the villains around here," Spider-man sighed.
"The Sinister Six are still in one piece, aren't they?" Decade deadpanned.
"Fair point," Spider-man nodded.
"Also duck," Decade said before turning back into Decade, and shooting his gun, hitting Psyga who'd recovered.
"Not gonna work if we have to fight like this," Decade frowned, before drawing another card. "KAMEN RIDE: SKYRIDER!" this time his belt gave off most of the light show, as his body flashed briefly, and left him in the armor of Skyrider, specifically in his powered up form.
"How many of those do you have?" Spider-man couldn't help but ask.
"At the moment? Not that many, but eventually, a LOT more." Decade answered. "But for now…" he looked at Psyga. "Sailing Jump!" and promptly took off, jumping high into the air, and before long he and Psyga were in a mid-air dogfight, one Spider-man soon joined when he was done getting his bearings straight again. Really, Decade was one HECK of a wild card with his abilities.
The fight was now more into the favor of the heroes as Psyga now had to deal with two enemies. Eventually though, the turning point was when Spider-man managed to catch his jet pack with his webs, causing it to have a critical error as he began to fall. At the same time… "FINAL ATTACK RIDE: S-S-S-SKYRIDER!"
"Sky Kick!" Decade called out as he shot down from the sky, hitting the falling Psyga in the chest and soon dragged him down to the ground where he impacted the asphalt and exploded in a blaze of glory, Decade walking out of the fire unschathed.
"So… just to check again, both of those two were monsters, right?" Spider-man asked as he landed next to him while Decade turned back into his base form.
"Monster in both sense of the word." Alicia said as she came up to them since the danger had passed now. However with all the noise and the fact it was over, civilians were coming and starting to crowd the street.
"Let's get somewhere a little more quiet." Spider-man suggested as he webbed himself up to the top of a building, about to pull the two up, before stepping back in surprise as Decade jumped to the top while carrying his wife in his arms.
Once they were on the roof… "Alright, what do you want to know?" Decade asked, reverting back to Andrew.
"Well, first, I want to say thanks again for giving my son a hand yesterday, I don't want to know what would have happened if nobody was present." Spider-man said, a weary sigh escaping his lips as he tried not to picture it.
"I'm sure another hero would have come, but yeah, you're very welcome," Andrew nodded. "Thank YOU for the assist. Orga and Psyga are annoying alone, but if both of them double teamed me...I might have been in trouble."
"Hey, I was happy to lend a hand since I was in the neighborhood." Spider-man waved it off.
"Would you like to stop by our place? We could at the very least offer you some lunch as thanks." Alicia offered.
"Well…" Spider-man hummed in thought… before his stomach growled and he laughed sheepishly "It has been a few hours since breakfast I guess."
"Then follow us," Andrew chuckled, before soon turning into Decade, then Skyrider again, using the sailing jump to bring him and Alicia in the direction of their destination, Spider-Man following not long after.
"Welcome to our home. It's not much, but make yourself comfortable," Alicia said modestly as they went into the house.
"Thanks." Spider-man nodded as he walked around the living room a bit, looking around, till his eyes fell on the antique TV and he paused "Uh… is that normal?"
"You mean the image of you?" Andrew asked knowingly.
"Yeah… how did you get this?" Spider-man asked curiously.
"Apparently it's the representation for this world," Alicia said with a shrug.
"Oh…" Spider-man nodded… before he noticed what she said "Wait… 'This' world? As in, you two are from another world?"
"Yeah, our world kind of underwent the apocalypse so we had to escape it." Andrew summed up with a sigh.
"Damn...I'm sorry to hear that," Spider-man said apologetically.
"It's not a problem. With luck, we'll be able to fix that with this journey," Andrew said. "Also don't touch the dial on the TV. It's how this thing lets us travel to other worlds," he added just to be safe. "So hands off unless you want to be going to a random, possibly hostile world before lunch," he added the last bit with a light laugh.
"Right. No touching the dial, got it." Spider-man said with a small laugh, before looking at the image on the TV "Huh… the gang's all here, been a while since I've seen Silk and Spider-Girl though, they set up in San Francisco." he mused.
"Spider-Girl huh?" Andrew asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Yeah, she wanted Woman, but my wife kind of had dibs on it… apparently." Spider-man said with a laugh.
"Ah, I see… you know… we knew about you even in our world." Andrew said idly.
"Seriously?" Spider-man asked with a raised eyebrow behind his mask.
"Yeahp, so we know a lot about you and your friends." Andrew answered with a nod.
Spider-man was silent for a little while "So… you know my secret identity then?"
"Pretty much THE first thing anybody learns about you in our world Mr. Parker." Andrew shot back simply. "Of course, it's not surprising when you're one of the most famous comic book superheroes of our world. Don't you just LOVE the Fourth Wall?"
Spider-man, AKA Peter Parker, raised a finger, and seemed to be opening his mouth and closing it a few times behind his mask, apparently trying to figure out what to ask first, before latching onto a certain part "So does Deadpool really…?"
"Yes, yes he does, I wouldn't be surprised if just mentioning him causes the idiot to appear eventually and say we're either a TV show, a video game, or whatever." Andrew said with a sigh.
"I just hope we're not on some cheesy fanfiction," Alicia added with a sigh of her own.
"Oh god, that reminds me of some fics fans of mine wrote, there was actually someone who wrote a 'Spider-man X Self-Insert' I'm not even joking about that." Peter shuddered as he pulled off his mask, considering the blinds were closed and they knew his identity anyway.
"Yeah, those kinds of stories exist. They're usually written by some REALLY desperate people. Let me guess, the you in those stories was usually the object of their affection, or at least someone they'd want to get with?" Andrew shuddered, having read a few fics like that in the past. They were horrible. It was almost as bad as… well, a shudder ran through him as he thought of 'The Forbidden One'.
"ANYway, so you guys are from a world where we're all fictional. Cool. Though is the armor you have real?" Peter couldn't help but ask.
"Fictional too. Comes from a japanese live action show. My armor is the titular 'Kamen Rider Decade'," Andrew said. "Also the guy who sent Psyga and Orga after us is a...sorta villain from the show too. Seems hell bent on getting rid of Decade at all costs, claiming Decade destroys worlds...basically just by existing."
"Admittedly he wasn't wrong about some things, but how he goes about it...well...let's just say he doesn't care if his plots end up destroying a world, as long as Decade is destroyed," Alicia chimed in.
"How bad are we talking here?" Peter couldn't help but ask.
"Making sealed evils in a can wake up, sending other Riders after him, and generally causing all sorts of trouble are par the course," Andrew groaned.
"Yikes, this guy sounds like what would happen to JJJ if he decided to put actions behind his accusations towards me." Peter said with a wince.
"Didn't he make Scorpion?" Andrew idly mused.
Peter blinked "You know… I do forget that sometimes."
"Also, funny you should mention JJJ, cause Narutaki often likes to come to worlds and 'warn' them that Decade is coming to destroy the world, which results in Decade being enemy number 1 the moment he's identified. Luckily we got here first," Andrew mused.
"So...enough about that insane 'prophet', and back to the original reason we're here. What would you like?" Alicia said, hoping to dissipate the atmosphere.
"I'm not fussy. Surprise me," Peter chuckled. He felt like he would like these two.
And chapter complete!
So, we had Decade turning into a few different Showa Riders, specifically, Black RX, Super-1 and Skyrider, and there will likely be more to come.
As well, some of you may have noticed a name in the intro, Michael.
Don't worry, he'll be in the next chapter, and no, he isn't my version of Yuseless.
Bit of a spoiler, but this story WILL have OC Riders, as Decade has the easiest time slipping new stuff into it.
I'm not saying what the bases for these riders are though, nor how many there will be.
But to put it simply, it's going to be interesting.
Anyway, besides that, yeah, Narutaki appeared, and so too did a lot of fan favorite Marvel characters, even if some had minor roles in the chapter.
But, some might be more important later, for now though, you'll have to wait.
See ya next time!
