Rondo of Angel, Dragon and Decade
"Damn, what happen to this place?" Ranma Saotome wondered as he looking at a ruined city covered in vegetation like it has been thounsands of years as he walks. "Wonder if the other world is different." He muttered.
Back home, things were extremely dull in Nerima after he avoided the fusion of the ten Rider Worlds and met nine alternate versions of himself. By meeting those nine versions, he learned a little about life and such. He learned that there are many more things to fight for than just pride or the concept of being manly. He also learned a little about growing up from his alternate selves. He learned that happiness is more important than pride from his Kuuga self, he learned that fighting for what you believed in was never wrong, and he learned the true meaning of family from his Ranki self.
Of course, he lost his attraction to Akane along the way. Not because of how he had seen alternate versions act, but because of the way his Akane acted. She continued seeing perverts everywhere she went and never trusted Ranma. Of course, the fiancées and rivals weren't helping matters with their constant pursuit. Ranma was beginning to long for the peace he got when traveling through the worlds. At least Kasumi gave him a safe haven when he needed it. She knew exactly what he was going through since she had been witness to the battle for the Kamen Rider worlds.
He been wondered if he could help out people again with his powers. His wish has been granted when he meet up with a friend he made from one of the worlds he visited; Warren Smith.
Warren is the founder and leader of ARMOR, which it stands for Alter-Reality Monitoring Operational Response, an agency that looks out for other worlds of the multiverse from any evil that tries to reach their goals. Warren has offered Ranma a spot in ARMOR after knowing he successfully prevent the fusion of the Ten Rider Worlds and told him that he had potential. Ranma was shocked to hear this and after much considerations he accepted it, becoming an agent of ARMOR.
Two weeks later, he was called by Warren for his mission. His mission was, surprisingly, prevented two worlds from merging. Warren explained to him that some unknown villain is merging the space and time of those worlds. Since Ranma has experience on preventing worlds to merge, is the right job for him and he gladly accepted it.
Now after coming from a door connected from the ChronoLiner, he witness the first world he appeared after such a long time. The city of the first world he appeared was in ruins and he wondered how.
He then heard a rolling sound and music behind him, he turn and saw a robot rolling on the street.
"This is the capital city defense. Are there any survivors? Capital city shelter #3 is still operational. We are taking refugees. Survivors, please meet at central park."
"Survivors?" Ranma asked.
Ranma have been following the robot's instructions as he heading his way over one of the shelters. He then found the shelter the robot spoke of.
"Well, this must be it." Ranma muttered before walking to the entrance. Ranma looks around the entrance then a scanner then scan him.
"Life signs detected, beginning reception." A woman's voice said before opening the doors. "Welcome to Capital City Shelter #3. Capital City Defense welcomes you."
Ranma enters and saw that the inside was a little futuristic. If there was a robot roaming around searching for survivors then this world is probably in an era with advance technology but he wonder what happen here.
Ranma then saw another gate opening to a room with a young woman on a screen; he went inside and saw several other gates opening.
"We are currently have 1.7% capacity available. Please choose an area. Enjoy your stay." She told him.
He entered the corridor, one more massive door slowly rising open as he reached it, Ranma peering under to see a massive plaza within, rows and rows of similar doors open, while on a screen on one of the pillars, an image of a woman who was speaking with the synthesized voice could be seen.
"There is space from refugees. You may choose any space that you like." The voice continued with the message, the pigtailed boy going to the nearest open space and looking in, Ranma flinched and shocked appeared on his face at the sight that greeted him; Dead bodies. Dozens of dead bodies, all rotted down to little more than skeletons with dark, rotted skin clinging to their bones, men, women, and children alike.
"Corpses… and they've been dead for a long, long time…" Ranma murmured, noting that there wasn't even a smell besides the musk of sealed air, telling him that the bodies had been there for so long, even the scent of deadhad long died away. Ranma feels sick as he put his hand to covered his mouth from an urge of vomitting but he stays strong, this wasn't the first time he saw dead bodies before he saw plenty of people getting killed by the monsters during his journey.
He ran back into the main room, looking up at the now dark screen.
"I am management computer Himawari." She said. "State your query."
"A computer?" Ranma asked. "Okay, just tell me what happen, I was told there were people here? Just what on earth happen?"
"Your question is received. Initiating answer sequence" The administrator answered, the entire room shifting within a moment, the image overtaking things being of a pristine city, but just as fast, missiles began raining down on the city, aircraft darting through the air, then to another video of machines rumbling along on treads with cannons on the top of them, again, firing off, the video continuing to change as other events were shown.
"These are visual records. This was a large-scale international war waged by the Unified Economic Federation against the Pancontinental Alliance. Known as World War Seven, Ragnarok, or the D war, it reduced earth's population to 11% of its pre-war level."
Ranma was surprise to see and to hear, both at the same time, that there was a war around the world, a seventh World War none the less. However, hearing the word Ragnarok, he suspected that everything ended.
"In order to end the stalemate, the Federation deployed the ultimate weapon, the Ragna-mail." The image then changed to show the black and purple humanoid robot flying following by six other black robots with each color lined on them.
"What are they…?" Ranma muttered as he saw them fly to a tall and futuristic tower.
One of the black Ragna-mail's shoulders open revealing a weapon of some kind and fired a dimensional wave wiping out an entire city. Then others fired the across the world wiping out a whole fleet of ships, a mountain, and some parts of a city. Huge balls of fire appeared on the Earth.
"And so the war came to an end. However, the Ragna-mails dimensional resonance weapon triggered a Dragnium reactor resonance explosion worldwide." The administrator then showed a feed of the tower exploding in massive balls of flame that raked through the land around them, decimating the cities they were in, the feed then showing a map of the planet, the entire screen turning red with an overlay, "The planet then became a contaminated wasteland incapable of supporting life, and all civilizations perished. Answer complete. Do you have more questions?"
"The world ended…?" Ranma muttered, he was right about the Ragnarok. "When did all of this happen?"
"538 years ago." She answered with a smile. "For a more precise number, add 193 days. None of the 2,976 shelters across the world show any signs of heat, movement, or any other signs of life. As it stands, you are the only human that remain on Earth."
Ranma came out of the shelter, after knowing the history of this world.
"So, this world had a seventh World War, in which resulted casualties, so with the advance technology they had, the people of the Federation decided to created the ultimate weapons that were supposed to end the war but the world as well. And while everyone in the shelters simply died from starvations and dehydration." Ranma said as he listed on what he learned. He sign as he scratch the back of his neck. "Jeez, didn't the people learn anything from the World War 2 history? Well no point on complained."
Ranma looks around the ruined city and it seems like there's no hope for this world, basically it lost hope a long time ago. "Still, why did Warren wanted me to be here in the first place?" He wondered. Warren insisted that Ranma goes to this world he picked first. Was he trying to give him a lesson about the consequences of humanity's foolishness and blindness? Still, he said that he soon will find out why.
"Well, is not like there's anything else around and I doubt Warren would make a joke about it. But there still that other world, if this world has no people left then there must be some in that other world." Ranma said if this world lost it's population then the other world must some it's habitates. "This place might be dead but that other world is still in danger."
With no point staying in this world he decided to leave as he headed for the nearest door to take the ChronoLiner, until...
VRRRRR!
"Huh?" Ranma blinked at the sound of a motorcycle. "What the? There are people here?"
He looks around and saw people on mountain motorcycles coming to where his at. Ranma was surprised to see people here even though this was a dead world, however he keeps his guard up if anything happens.
As the riders came closer and closer, they stops as Ranma saw their appearance and he knew that one thing; they're not humans.
What appears to be a couple of humanoid monsters with animal features of their own. The first one looks to be canine, or at least a Dingo, it's appearance is that of a man with fur but also matellic materials on the body. The right side of it's face shows a bit of flesh with the eye being blue while the other was yellow.
The second one appeares to be an Eel, it's smooth skin is that of an eel's skin but however it has ribcage all over, around the body appears to be that of an eel's long body. It has an eel's head with the lower lip covered the upper lip.
"Told you I'a smell human'd here, snurl." The Dingo monster said.
"Heh. And he looks ei' normal, no, ei' an ordinary human, eil." The eel monster analyzing the pigtailed human.
'Snurl? Eil?' Ranma thought, do these guys end their sentences with weird words? While most people would either be freak out by the appearances of the monsters or laugh at their weird words, Ranma is far from those people as he experienced these kind of things, except the weird words.
"So, boy'a," The Dingo monster spoked. "what's a'd human like you'a doing here'd? I doutb'a that you're one of those'd people, snurl?" He asked.
'Those people? There are actually still people here?' Ranma thought. If there really is people here then he must know more. "There are still people alive in this world?"
"Answer'd my'a question!" The dingo snarled. Anyone would be afraid by the monster's snarling but Ranma stood his ground.
"No matter'ei, we're just have'ei to make you answer'ei, eil." The eel monster snorted.
"Well, it's hard to take you guys serious with the way you talking and how you end your sentence." Ranma said. He may have learn and working with his smartmouth, but it doesn't mean he could not say about his enemies.
"Why you...!" The dingo monster growled.
"Don't mess with us, kid! We're the Death Brigade's soldiers and we won't take lightly to your mockery." The eel kaijin retorted.
"Well, would you look at that, you were able to talk normal." Ranma mocked in which enrage the two kaijins.
"That's it!"
"Your death, kid!"
The two kaijins charged at Ranma, but without knowing that the pigtailed boy is a skilled martial artist as he backflips to dodge them. Stunned by the sudden act for a moment, the two kaijins looks at the human boy who backflips about five times before landing on top of one of the big debris.
"Looks like I'll have to fight you guys to get some answers." Ranma said stood proud.
The dingo kaijin growl. "Kisama...!"
The eel kaijin then speak. "Just who'ei the hell do you think'ei you are!?"
Ranma then smirked, "Me?" He pulled out his Decadriver and strapped on. "I'm just a Kamen Rider who's passing by. Remember that!" He took out his Decade card. "Henshin!" He slotted it into the Decadriver and pushed the handles to reset the buckle.
[Kamen Ride: Decade!]
The symbols of the 9 Riders appeared and several ghostly images of his Rider form appeared before overlapping his body. It formed a suit of armor which filled up with color as soon as the red panels collided with his faceplate, turning some of the sections red as his green eyes flashed.
The transformation has shocked the two kaijins from what they witnessed, but quickly regain they're focus.
"This kid'a smells'd trouble, snurl." The dingo kaijin said.
"We'll have to'ei deal with him, eil." The eel kaijin replied.
"Then do your worst." Decade declared as he jumps off the debris while the kaijin charge at him.
Decade landed on the ground punch the two kaijin with two fists on the chests, the impacts push the two kaijins a little until Decade give a roundhouse kick at the eel kaijin and then a left hook at the dingo kaijin. Both kaijin fell down from the attacks, both getting up as they growl.
The dingo kaijin charge at Decade to strike him, he tries to claw the Kamen Rider but he dodge every swings. Decade then punch the canine in the face and deliver a side kick, pushing the kaijin.
Decade drew his Ride Booker and he shifted into sword mode.
Both Kaijin stood up and both charge at each side to the Kamen Rider. The armored agent of ARMOR swings his Ride Booker at the closest kajin, the eel kajin, slashing him causing sparks to come out. And then he swings at the dingo kaijin, slashing across causing sparks to fly off. Both kaijins stumble a bit before the dingo drew a sword modeled after a scimatar, they're back at charging, only for the Rider to drew a card from the Ride Booker and in slide to the Decadriver.
[Attack Ride; Slash!]
Decade swing his blade as holographic copies of the blade appeared, causing multiple slashes on both the kaijins.
The dingo kaijin growl as he swing his sword, only to be block by the Rider's own sword. They then clash at each other trying to strike, Decade note that the dingo was good with a sword but not as good. Decade push him back as he drew another card from the Rider Booker.
"Let's even the odds." Decade declared as he slide the card.
[Kamen Ride; Kiva!]
Decade's armor turned into silver before it shifted and shattered. In its place was the armor as Kiva's.
[Form Ride; Kiva Garulu!]
Chains wrapped around D-Kiva's chest and left arm, taking the form of the cobalt blue armour of the Garuru Form. A mass of red pixels formed from the Decadriver and transformed into the Garulu Saber which the Kamen Rider grabbed and allowed to unfold into its sword form. With a flash turning the Omnilens eyes from yellow to blue, the change was complete.
"What the hell...?!" Dingo kaijin gasped.
"A canine for a canine." D-Kiva said as he gripped the Garulu Saber.
"Don't mess with me!" The dingo kaijin charged with his sword.
The two clashed with one another, their blades sending off a storm of sparks which went in all directions. The dingo kaijin slashed at D-Kiva several times in his attempts to cut him down.
D-Kiva raised his weapon and blocked the blow a second time, bringing another blast of sparks. This time though, D-Kiva brought back a free hand and lashed out with another blow, "Kachu Tenshin Amaguriken!" Over one hundred rapid speed punches crashed straight into the the dingo man's gut sending him flying backwards.
Then D-Kiva moves his sword back in front of him as the wolf head guard howls, and then pushes it forward unleashing a sonic wave attack, on the Dingo Kaijin which made pushes it across the ground and also made sparks on its body.
D-Kiva then turns to his next opponent, the eel kiajin snarl as electricity begin to spread through it's body.
"Electricity, huh...?" D-Kiva said observed his opponent, fighting an opponent produced electricity with a sword would be a bad idea. "Time to change tactics." He drew another card and slide in the Decadriver.
[Kamen Ride; Caucasus!]
D-Kiva was covered in a hexagonal field, transforming his armor into that of golden beetle Kamen Rider Caucasus. Opening the Decadriver, he tossed another card inside before shutting it again, activating the power in it.
[Attack Ride; Clock Up!]
Just as the eel kaijin was charging the world went very slow, D-Caucasus dashed towards the eel-man and leaped through the air. Moving into a kick, he crashed against the kaijin as it moves backwards slow. He wasn't finish as he give a right hook and finishing off with a flying kick, good thing that the electricity doesn't effect him, pushing back the eel monster far away before getting slow again. Then the world came back to normal as the eel kaijin was send flying, collied with the ruined wall.

D-Caucasus vanished into a haze of red pixels before reemerging as Decade. The Kamen Rider walks over to were the ding kaijin is to ask it some questions, since the eel would simply just electrify him if it refuge.
The dingo kaijin struggles to stand reaching on one knee before lifting its head only to see the Ride Booker in Gun Mode pointing at him. Decade was holding the weapon as he looks straight in the eyes as he start interrogate him. "Okay pal, fess up, who and what are you guys? And does this Death Briggade of yours has anything to do with this world?"
"Bastard...! You think'd I'll say anything'a to you because'd you have a weapon point'd at me, snurl?" The dingo monster said.
"True that threatening my foes with a gun ain' my style, but I'll be damn if I let a couple of monsters roaming around and cause any havoc, especially causing harm to those people you mention it earlier." Decade stated.
"And what'd of'a it?" The Dingo kaijin snorted. "Is'a not like'd they're really people'd, they're just monsters'a, snurl."
Decade wore a confuse look under the helmet. "What do you mean by that?"
Before the dingo kaijin could say anything it was suddenly cry in pain as electricity runs through it's body. Decade was so taking aback that he step backward until noticing a tendril with the tip biting on the dingo's ankle. The Kamen Rider turns to see where the tendril came from and to his surprise it was connected to the Eel Kajin.
The Dingo Kaijin continue to scream for a few moment before he stops as well the electricity, steams came out of it's nose and mouth. The Eel Kaijin retrive it's tendril.
Decade looks at the canine monster, it doesn't move anymore nor is it's chest shows it was breathing. It was dead. Then, all suddenly it's entire body begin to decay and turns to goop.
Decade turns to the eel kaijin. "You killed your own comrade?!" He couldn't believe someone could do such a thing about to their own comrade.
"It was to'ei prevent you from'ei knowing anything else, eil." Eel kaijin exclaimed.
"So disposing of your comrades in order to keep the informations?" Decade said. "Either you're deaf or stupid, he wasn't telling me any info."
"But he did link out a bit of'ei info, eil." The Eel Kaijin replied.
"You mean about the people here and claiming that they're monsters? Is that it?" Decade asked knowing well even if he ask the eel-freak wouldn't say anything.
"Why'ei don't you'ei find out..." The Eel Kaijin said as the electricity was back running through it's body again. "If you survive!" It starts charging at the Kamen Rider.
Decade shakes his head. "Is always the lunatic ones that wants to go the hard way." He said in annoyance as he pull out another card before sliding the Decadriver.
[Final Attack Ride; D-D-D-Decade!]
Decade's nine cards appeared in the distance between himself and the Eel Kaijin. Leaping into the air, he moved into a kicking position as he reached the first golden projection. He phased through all nine cards before coming out the final one and colliding with a kick against the Eel Kaijin, the result caused an explosion with the eel monster cried in pain ended it's life.
Decade jumps off and landed on his feet, leaving ember of flames where the Eel Kaijin was. Decade stood up and canceled his transformation turning back into Ranma.
Ranma turns to look where his opponents were before, the Dingo Kaijin was dead by it's own comrade and the Eel Kaijin had the hard way. He robs the back of his neck as he sign. "Man, that's one way to start my mission; ended up in a world were it has ended for five centuries and then fighting off two mutated humanoid animals. Though it's no surpris since every time I land in a new world I always seems to caught the bad moment." He then starts walking.
"So far so good, I managed to learn more about this place," Ranma said as he start to listed as to what he learn today. "aside from the WW7 and the whole robots destroyed the world, two monsters, who are calling themselves soldiers from this Death Brigade and one of them claimed that there are people here. However, that canine freak claimed that they're more like monsters." He thought about it for a moment, trying to place the pieces together.
He then remember his lessons back at ARMOR and his experiences on one of the Nine Worlds. 'If there are truly people alive here and supposed claimed to be 'monsters'... Did they somehow intego a mutation from the reaction of this Drag-whatchamacallit.' He remember what the computor said, those 'Ragna-Mails' has cause an explosion from this 'Dragnium' reactor, he may not know what it is but somehow it may be some kind of a new radioative energy type, which may or may not cause the people into mutation and becoming 'monsters'. 'If so... does those two kaijins and the Death Brigade part of those people and somehow in a war? Or is it the Death Brigade behind the merging of two worlds?' He tries to make a proper theory before making a conclusion, so far he got none.
"Still, this Death Brigade is suspicious. I'll might as well continue on my investigation in this world." Ranma exclaimed. He turns around and walk off, before long he found his machine, Machine Decader. ARMOR must have send it to him to ride, he's gonna need it. "And while I'm at it, I might find these people they were talking about." He said as he hop on and put on the helmet.
He starts the engine and revving up as he rides, his mission just got starting and he'll figure it out what is the cause of two worlds merging.
So, how do you all like it? A crossover with Ten-Faced Paladin's Journey Through the Decade, a Ranma 1/2 x Kamen Rider Decade x-over, and Cross Ange; Rondo of Angel and Dragon, got the idea from DragonWarrior74's own story; Kamen Rider Eternal: Rondo of Angel, Dragon, & Eternal. I kind of help the guy with ideas via PM and I once point out an idea; a x-over with Journey Through the Decade with Cross Ange. I mean, Decade is a Dimensional Kamen Rider and Cross Ange plot is involve with crossing dimensions, so why not?
You can also look up DragonWarrior74's story if you are interesting.
Ja Ne!
