Rise Of Xivix
By: DisasterMaster445
I'm eternally surprised by how many people have read this. I wasn't sure in the least, but I'm happy so many people like where the story started. I'm very sorry I haven't updated before now, but I'm a Senior in high school right now, and things are kinda busy. But that's beside the point. Last time Nate was flung into an unfamiliar world and was immediately faced with Kit, the Dragon Knight. After a short battle Nate realizes the Advent Decks, entrusted to him by Master Eubulon, disappeared when he went through the mirror. (P.S. I'd like to thank ChaosKA, Kamen Rider Lynx, Kendell, and Brainwriter for donating their OCs to my cause, and anybody else out there who sent one that I didn't need. Without you guys, I'd be hard pressed to come up with the OCs I needed.)
Chapter Two: Help Wanted
It wasn't too long after discovering he didn't know where the other Advent Decks were that Nate was being shown into Kit Taylor's home. "Wow. This place is cool." He remarked. He dropped onto a couch and as soon as his butt hit the cushions he got the tingling feeling at the base of his skull.
"Damn. What was that?" Kit burst back into the room. "Alright kid. It's time to go to work." He led the way to a sliding glass door leading to the balcony. Kit didn't open the door however. He leapt into the reflecting surface. Nate followed suit. They came out in an empty city square, where about a hundred minions leapt around a group of four humans.
The first was tall, with long black hair pulled into a ponytail. He wore jeans, a pair of Vans, a blue shirt under a shirt made of mesh, and a leather jacket over the top. The jacket had blue flames. His eyes were a supernatural blue.
Next to him was a tall, sturdy girl. She had blue-gray eyes and a light dusting of freckles across her face. She wore jeans, hiking boots, an orange turtleneck sweater, and an old leather jacket.
On the other side was a blonde girl with blue eyes and glasses. She wore dark blue jeans and a purple shirt, with a light blue fleece jacket over the top. Her shoes were blue and purple.
The last member of the endangered quartet was a black haired boy. His dark brown eyes stood out against his pale skin. He wore a green collared shirt and blue jeans with a brown jacket and a matching fedora.
The four of them had all taken various stances and looked ready to fight their way out. The first girl pulled a gun out from under her leather jacket and fired at one of the minions. It was knocked back but it got up and a few of its fellows grabbed the girl.
"I've seen enough." Nate said. Kit nodded and they both grabbed their Advent Decks. The familiar trail of sparks flowed around them and made their belts. "Kamen Rider." They said together. Rings of light enveloped them and they stood, transformed.
"Let's wash them away." Neptune joked. He slid the Glacier Visor up his arm and drew a card. He spun it around and loaded it. Sword Vent. He reached behind him and grabbed his trident at the base of the blade and at the wooden shaft. He pulled them a part, and was holding his halberd and his sword.
He jumped down ahead of Dragon Knight and landed fighting. He immediately dropped into a crouch and swung the halberd wide, cutting down three of the monsters. From the crouch he leapt up and landed in the middle of the four teens. He loaded another card into the Glacier Visor. Blast Vent. He slammed the halberd into the ground and in front of the teens rose a wall of water, forming a circle. The walls blasted out, sending monsters flying away in every direction. However, these minions weren't garden variety.
Unbeknownst to Neptune, who had just turned to check on the teens, the monsters were coming together.
"Put that away." Neptune told the girl with the gun. She holstered it back underneath her jacket. "We're gonna get you out of here." The Rider promised. "Nate!" Neptune whirled around to see Kit flying through the air. Then he saw the monster. It was a 20-foot version of the normal minions, but instead of being covered with armor, it wore red gladiator style armor and carried a huge staff and blade. It had swiped its staff, knocking Kit away.
"Damn…." Nate said. "Aren't you going to do something?" the blonde girl asked. "Right." Neptune was off and running. He slid his two weapons back into trident form and loaded another card. Launch Vent. He started to slid to a stop and jammed the shaft of the trident into the ground as a brace. He leveled it at the monster and the end of the weapon shot off, attached by a chain to the rest of the trident. The gold projectile arced into the air, but was deflected by the behemoth's blade. The gold tip wrapped around the sword, and with a mighty swing Neptune was soaring through the air as well.
Kit met up with Nate as the latter hit the ground. "This monster's strong. I didn't know they could fuse like that." "Me neither." Nate groaned. "Let me see if we can burn it." Kit said. He loaded a card of his own. Strike Vent. A dragon-shaped gauntlet materialized on his arm. He threw a punch and flames roared across the open air, crashing into the armored monster. It didn't even stagger.
"What should we do?" Nate asked the senior warrior. "Attack together." Kit pulled another card and showed it to his new ally. Underneath his helmet Nate smirked.
The four teens had moved away from the fighting while they weren't part of the monster's attention.
"What was that?" asked the pale boy. He hadn't been in America when the last Mirror Monster attacks occurred. "That was a mirror monster. Three years ago they were capturing people. Nobody really knows anything else except that those armored fighters saved all the people, and the world." Explained the boy with the ponytail.
The four of them found a safe place (well, at least a place were they didn't think they could be seen) and settled down to watch the action.
Attack Vent. Both Kit and Nate had loaded their cards together. A large, red Japanese dragon roared and started to fly at the monster. At the same time a five foot tall robot penguin burst out of the windows Kit and Nate had come through. It ran, hunched over, in a staggering path, with its blade-like flippers crossed over its chest. The dragon struck, crashing into the warrior's chest and knocking it back, before it came back around and rammed it in the back, sending it flying forward at the penguin.
The penguin's blades glowed as it leapt up, slicing as it torpedoed past. It disappeared into the ground as it landed, while the dragon spiraled back into the sky. The warrior got back up, finally looking like it had been damaged. It slammed its staff into the ground, sending out a shockwave that sent both Riders sprawling.
"We're losing. Badly. What do we do Kit?" "I think I may have an idea. You're gonna have to hold him off for a little while."
Kit disappeared back to his house for a moment, long enough to grab an item he thought he'd never have to use again. Then, he leapt back into the mirror to go off in search of his quarry.
Back on Ventara the man known as Adam was still enjoying retirement, not knowing about Xivix, the new Riders, or about the fighting that was taking place on Earth. He knew nothing about trainee Riders, or about the Venting of his friends. He didn't even know Kit was on his way to find him. Yet.
"Kit, it all sounds really bad, but I'm retired. The Decks won't work for me. Besides, you've got my Deck anyway. If what you've said is true, there isn't anything I can….what are you pulling out?" The Ventaran looked at his mirror twin in disbelief. Nestled in Kit's palm was the Onyx Advent Deck.
Nate was hefted into the air by the monster. If something with no discernable facial features could make an evil, smiling face, this thing was doing it. It had dropped both weapons, and was squeezing the life out of the defending Rider.
"This is who you've got for help?" A voice sighed. "Freakin' useless." Final Vent. Black sparks crackled around the monster's feet, keeping it in place. From the edges of Neptune's failing vision he saw two Japanese dragons, one black, and one red, floating in the air. Black and red flames roared and he was dropped. He hit the ground in pain.
When his vision cleared Neptune saw Kit and another Rider get thrown from the monster, who was covered in flames and was making noises of unimaginable pain. Feeling out for his trident, he used the weapon to lever himself back to his feet. He had one card left in his Deck, and he wasn't even sure what it would do. He decided it was time to find out.
Final Vent. A fountain of water burst up under him, propelling him up until he stood atop a fifteen foot tidal wave. The water invigorated him, giving him energy and strength. The middle of the wave glowed, and Icemech (The Advent Beast) emerged from the wave with his blades crossed. The penguin leaned forward and the wave began to race forward. Neptune raised his trident and began to spin it over his head. As the wave neared the monster Icemech leaped from the wave at the same time that Neptune jumped high into the air. The penguin slashed the monster, followed by the wave crashing over, knocking the monster back and extinguishing the flames. As the water splashed over the ground, Neptune came down, driving the trident's sword point through the monster's chest, and the halberd form spun down, cutting the monster in half and driving itself into the ground beside the Rider.
The three Riders powered down and were searching for the four kids. Without the energy boost from the water, Nate was stumbling between the mirror twins. "I was wrong." The one on the right conceded. "You're not useless. That was pretty nice how you took care of that monster back there." "This is Adam by the way. Adam, that's Nate." Kit introduced.
The three of them turned a corner and found the four teens huddled by the side of the building. It was the first time Nate had gotten a good look at them, and his heart almost stopped beating. His eyes blinked, trying to clear themselves, but the young Rider was already lost in a flashback of pain and torture.
It was dark in the room when Nate came to. He had fell asleep when he was supposed to be watching over the others. His hidden spot was undisturbed, but the rest of the room wasn't. Seven bodies lay, torn and shredded, by their beds, but four still stood, facing an unknown assailant. The two boys, Darius and Alex, stood on one side, and the girls, Diana and Megan, on the other. In a sudden flash, Darius and Megan hit the floor. The shadowy figure picked Darius up, his head lolling from where his neck was broken.
The figure laughed and dropped the tall black haired boy to the ground. Nate looked to Megan, laying on the floor, blonde hair stained red from the blood draining from the hole in her chest.
"You bastard!" cried Alex. The pale, black haired boy charged, but was cut down before getting close. Diana was the only one left. The freckled girl looked ready to fight to the death, just like they were trained, but there was no fight. The assassin laughed again and walked out of the room. Nate dropped down to the floor. He couldn't identify which of the other seven was which, they were so destroyed.
He looked over the last four. Alex had been a good friend of his, and Megan was like a sister to him. They'd started training at the same time. Darius and Diana had both been a little older, but the five of them got along well enough. He hit his knees, surrounded by the spreading pools of his friends' blood. Nothing he could do.
Hunt dashed into the room a few minutes later and saw the carnage. He didn't ask any questions, just grabbed Nate and tore away from the sight of the eleven slaughtered fighters.
The flashback was over in an instant, as thoughts so often are. Nate was twitching uncontrollably in the arms of the mirror twins, Kit and Adam. The last thing he saw before he dropped from their grasp to the ground were his friends, huddled together, staring at him as he was seized by a fit. He blacked out.
There you have it. I finally had the inspiration to finish the second chapter. We finally see what happened to the trainees when Xivix visited the Riders in the night. But the five of them were reunited very quickly, weren't they? Adam has returned from retirement to help defend the world as Kamen Rider Onyx. He already has respect for Nate after seeing Neptune defeat the behemoth mirror monster. When Nate awakes, what will be the reaction to seeing his friends alive after that horrible, bloody night? Check it out next time. Ja Nae.
Also, if anyone wants to know, Icemech, Neptune's Advent Beast, looks like Empoleon from Pokemon, except that the dark blue parts are black, and the light blue parts are grey. If you don't know what Empoleon looks like, you can Google it, or you can as me to post a picture on my profile.
