The TARDIS landed in the Wen Tao Gardens east of Melbourne. The Doctor went inside the building, where he was greeted by a teenage boy.

"Hi there! Are you here as a volunteer?" Silently, the Doctor showed the boy his psychic paper. "Oh, thanks for coming! Would you mind coming over and helping us prepare the games?"

The Doctor went with the boy into a room where some other volunteers were preparing the games. The games included ring toss, hopscotch and a simple catch game. The volunteers were also preparing a parachute game for later. Meanwhile, the Doctor was thinking, "Why did the TARDIS take me here?"

As the time passed, families began coming into the Wen Tao Gardens. The Doctor noticed that some of the children acted differently to some of the others. The Doctor and the boy exchanged their names. The boy's name was Hiroki Ichigo. Now, for those of you who are wondering, the Japanese kanji for "ichigo" is the same for "strawberry". In a sense, he could also be called Mr Strawberry.

Hiroki asked the Doctor, "Did you have a question you wanted to ask?"

After shuffling through his cue cards, the Doctor replied while briefly looking back at the card, "I can't help but notice that some of those people look and act different. Why is that?"

"This event we are in today is a family fun day for families of children on the autism spectrum. Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder that stays with a person for life. It affects the way they socialise and behave. Autism is different depending on the person, which is why it is a spectrum. We've also got a couple of kids with Down's syndrome here today as well. You see, there are some Down's syndrome kids who have autism as well. There's a lot of challenges in raising kids these days."

The activities started. The Doctor watched Hiroki as he helped the other volunteers. He even offered to pick up and throw the rings to the kids, one at a time so that they could play the ring toss.

Lunchtime came and while the other volunteers were preparing the food, the Doctor, Hiroki and the others played games with the parachute. The Doctor noticed how weird it was that humans played with parachutes on the ground.

Hiroki heard the Doctor's thoughts, and replied, "I know what you mean! When I was in kindergarten, we used to play games with a parachute like that!"

Lunch was served. The Doctor was talking with Hiroki about the autism spectrum. Hiroki told the Doctor, "You're not the first person to notice that there is something different about those kids. There are many kids, even people, out there all over the world with autism. There are many support groups, like us, the Asian Autism Support Network, even though most of the parents here are Chinese."

"But your name tells me that you're Japanese," the Doctor replied.

"(laughs) Nice observation! Most people can't tell what country Asians are from unless they know their name. Anyway, so there are many, many people who notice differences between kids with autism and neurotypical kids. They just assume that everyone in the world is normal, like them. If they see an autistic kid, they don't know how to react to this strange sight in front of their eyes.

"Most of the time, people see the autistic person and they only see the things like hand-flapping, echolalia (copying what they hear word-for-word), immaturity and rage. They're not able to understand emotions, like a neurotypical person does. Maturity is an important thing in society. People with autism aren't necessarily able to be mature and so, they just keep acting like children. Basically, that's why people just assume that every autistic person is, dare I say it, 'retarded'."

At that time, a group of boys were passing nearby. They spotted the autistic kids from the path. One of them yelled to the kids from afar, "Hey retards, go back to China!" His friends began sniggering, then laughing at what the boy said. Some of the parents were looking at the boys, while most of the kids there just went on doing what they were doing, because they couldn't understand what the boys just said.

Hiroki stood up, looked at the boys and exclaimed, "What did you just say? I'll make you regret ever saying that!" The boys just laughed at him, but Hiroki was not fazed.

From the inside of his coat, Hiroki produced a device which he put on his stomach. It wrapped around him automatically like a belt. He then places a card in his device, exclaiming, "Henshin!"

"KAMEN RIDE: DECADE!"

With this, Hiroki transformed into a warrior dressed in magenta, white and black, along with green eyes. The boys began to quiver in fear at the sight in front of them.

"D-D-D-Decade?"

"We-we-we're sorry for saying that! Please, forgive us!"

"R-r-run! Get out of here, he's gonna kill us!"

The boys began to scatter as Decade began rushing at them. Suddenly, the boys were scattered too far to be dealt with. Hiroki decided to take action and used two other cards in his belt device.

"KAMEN RIDE: KABUTO! (pause) ATTACK RIDE: CLOCK UP!"

Time stopped around Decade, now in the form of Kabuto as he ran around, gathering the four boys in one spot and tying them up with some rope. Time went back to normal again and Hiroki untransformed. The boys were shuddering, amazed at that boy's power.

The Doctor saw the events unfolding from afar. As Hiroki went back to his seat, the Doctor grabbed his hand and said, "You. In the TARDIS. Now." Hiroki took his plate as he was dragged along to the TARDIS. The boys were laughing at Hiroki trying to hold his plate steady while being dragged.


Fact File: Kamen Rider Decade

Known in legends as the "Destroyer of Worlds". The original Kamen Rider Decade is Tsukasa Kadoya. This version of Decade, let's say he's an alternate reality version, shall we? Decade can change into nine different Kamen Riders. However, I don't think we'll be able to see Hiroki transforming into every Kamen Rider now…
