March 14,2004
The morning after the dream found Tsuki eating with the family at breakfast. "So Tsuki, what kind of training are you going to do with Drew today?" asked Mike.
"Actually there won't be training. Rather, we will be getting ready," she replied, not looking up from her food.
"What do you mean?" Drew asked curiously.
"I mean it is time for the journey Drew." Tsuki said with all seriousness.
"What?" The three family members uttered.
"Yes. In ten days we will leave for the first world to find the other guardians," she stated firmly, placing her utensils down.
"Why ten days?" asked Drew's father.
"The equinox is approaching and the best time to leave is just past that point."
"You're just saying that because my dad's birthday is coming up," Drew said with a smile.
"No. I'm being completely serious. Inform the girls at school to prepare; I have a few gifts to give you which will help you."
One Week Later
Tsuki stood before the group, waiting to hand out the gear that would be helping them on their journey.
"You have trained in swords, magic and fists," Tsuki began, "But in order to combat the stronger opponents you need these." She presented them with three high-tech belts. Drew's belt was golden with a niche for a rectangular object. Gabby's was red with a small slot that looked too thin for an Ipod. Tori's was white and blue, with an opening at the top that would fit a small card. In addition she gave a phone to Drew, a card to Tori and a rectangular plug for Gabby.
"To activate them, you must say 'Henshin' and insert the objects into the belt. Give it a try. They were hesitant but Drew stepped forward to try his. Like he had done it for years he activated the phone and pressed the Transform button.
STANDBY.
Drew was spooked by the belt but he continued by pressing a button with a stylized N. He gathered his energy in his right hand and swiped across the phone
HENSHIN!
He placed the phone, screen facing out, into the depression on the belt.
COMPLETE!
A Bright flash engulfed Drew and when it subsided, there stood an armored figure. The armor bore a red chestplate, with gold stripes down the middle of arms and legs. Drew's broadsword Leonid appeared on his back while his revolver Brave showed up on his waist. He also grew a few inches and was now nearly 5'9.
"D-Drew?" asked a worried Tori.
"It's me, Tori," he confirmed, "But in this form, I am Kamen Rider Zodiac."
"Kamen Rider?" asked Gabby.
"In English it means Masked Rider. It's like Power Rangers, except it's typically one or two heroes and is much darker." Said Tsuki.
Drew extracted his phone, returning to his previous form in a flicker. "Come on and try it, it feels awesome."
After some discussion, Tori stepped forward. "Okay, I'll try it." She pulled out her card, depicting a dog with a couple of stars around it. She channeled her energy from her hand into the card and opened the belt.
Kamen Ride.
"HENSHIN!" she cried out, inserting the card and snapping the buckle shut.
SIRIUS.
Another flash of light appeared. This time Tori's form was replaced with a similar figure to Drew, but in blue and gray and more feminine. The helmet bore wolf ears, with claws on her feet and hands. Her staff, Aquarius, was stuck to her back and a spell book was clipped to her waist. She knew even without looking that it contained all of the spells she had learned previously.
"You look Pretty, Tori," complimented Drew. Tori powered down and blushed.
"My turn," said Gabby and she pulled out her belt, which was red and had a slot for the Drive she had received. She pressed the button on the plug, embossed with the image of a bow and arrow.
ORION.
"HENSHIN!" yelled Gabby. She rammed the plug into the driver and flipped the driver off center.
ORION.
When the flash died down, Gabby stood in a yellow and black outfit, with her bow Sagittarius on her back.
"Very cool Gabby," Drew acknowledged with a grin.
Tsuki came around as Gabby powered down. "Here're more cards for you, Tori, more images for your phone, Drew and more Drives for you, Gabby," She said. She handed Tori a deck of cards and a thin case with more Drives to Gabby, while Drew downloaded the images to his phone. "To activate them, just replace the one you are using and reactivate the belt. Also, some will only activate under certain conditions. I have also taken the liberty of materializing the Pokémon from your games into reality and sent them into that world, save the six in your starting party."
Three Days Later.
Now, with all their gear packed and Pokémon on their normal belts, they prepared to say goodbye to their parents and start their journey.
"Ok," Tsuki started slowly, "I'm ready to open the portal to the Pokémon world. I tried to get you as close to where I feel the gem guardians for that world as possible. Until you come back, the clones I made of you will act in your stead."
"OK Tsuki," said Drew simply, nodding in acceptance.
"Before you leave Drew, I want to give you something," said Mike. He held out a case and opened it. It contained a wooden cross and a pocket watch. "Reverand Dave said that the wood came from Nazareth and asked me to give it to you as a confirmation present. The pocket watch is something I thought you would like. It will keep time regardless of where you are thanks to Tsuki."
Drew smiled shakily, even as tears welled up in his eyes. "Th-then this is really it, huh? I'll miss you Dad. I love you." he hugged his dad, while Gabby and Tori hugged their parents goodbye. After a few long moments, he let go and turned to the two girls. "Ok girls, ready to do this?" he asked of his two companions.
"Yeah!"
"Let's go!" The two answered simultaneously.
At that moment, the sky started to crackle. In front of them the space started to distort. Then it ripped open and began to emit a blue light.
Tsuki turned said solemnly, "The gate is open. May the fates smile on you,"
"Alright, time to Ride!" Drew clenched his fist. As one they ran and and jumped into the portal.
And with that the three teenagers from Earth started on the journey of a lifetime
End Chapter
Ok, I promised the Pokémon world this chapter, but think of it as a transition chapter. They now have armors similar to the Kamen Riders. Drew is the only one with an original belt.
If you read this fic, please review. I'm not the best writer, so every positive criticism helps.
(NS: And, y'know, something more substantial than 'good chapter.' Lazy-asses.)
Also here are the explanations of each power shown here. Every chapter I introduce a new one I will put an explanation.
Leo:The lion and the astrological sign of those born between July 23rd and August 22nd. One of twelve zodiac constellations it was first described by the Greeks when the tilt of the Earth's axis was different from what it is now. It is a decent size constellation but it represents strength as they get their energy from the sun. Drew uses this as his base transformation and has access to fire and his blade. His powers come from the Western Zodiac
Orion: The Hunter. One of the most recognizable constellations Orion is a prominent constellation in the northern sky. Easily found by locating his belt where three stars are lined up next to each other. It is also used to find other big name formations. Gabby uses this as her base form and has access to hunting gear like her bow and arrows. Her powers will come from human and mythological constellations.
Sirius: The dog star. Unlike the first two Sirius is not a constellation. Rather outside the moon and the planets it is the brightest star in the sky. The term dog days of summer comes from the fact it shows up in July and August. The Ancient Egyptians used this star to calculate the Nile floods and formed the first calendar which was really accurate for its day. Tori uses this card to access her base form and has access to her staff and spellbook. Her powers will come from animal constellations
I figure I could teach people some stuff while writing. I am history major but astronomy and earth science are number two and three in my book. So I will be putting some stuff in here to possibly teach the readers if they didn't know.
Preview:
A journey begins, a kingdom under siege, an enemy reveals itself, a power awakens
Next chapter: Mirage of the Darkness
OSPREY….SWOOOOOSH
5/2/13: Changed Rider name to Zodiac because his powers reflected the western Zodiac. His element of fire comes from his birth sign Leo which is normally associated with the sun and fire
5/30/2013: Put in powers and explanations of each of the cards used.
8/2/13: Fixed stuff
12/19/2015: Hired a beta going through earlier chapters to fix everything wrong
NS: Hella!
