Oh boy… it sure has been a while since I posted anything. Man, time sure flies… .

You people would not believe what went through my mind first as I created the concept of this crossover. No, seriously. It was formed because my brain wanted to add Kamen Rider to one of the RWBY SI ideas I got stashed away. (Said idea would probably p*ss off a few people if I let the cat out of the bag now.)

So, I suppose I should tell you now why this story is dedicated to StrangerDenB4, the proud author of Kamen Rider Kuuga: Rising Unto The Stars and Kamen Rider OOO: Dusts of Avarice, among other stories. Well, it's because Stranger is an awesome guy, and a talented writer. He actually helped me out with a few things when I asked him for help. So Stranger, this is for you!

I'll only say the Disclaimer once. And only once. Cause I find it a pain to repeat it every single chapter: I do not own Kamen Rider Ghost or RWBY. I also do not own anything originating from other series or media, be they items, songs, references, quotes, etc etc etc. They all belong to their respective owners. The only thing I own are OCs I create for my stories. Any other OCs who appears that belong to other Authors will be credited.


"LUCAS! THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU'RE THE BEST BRO A GUY CAN ASK FOR MAN!"

Man, this guy is getting annoying… .

Mentally sighing, I responded. "It's no problem." I said to Andy, one of my best friends. Man, I can practically see the waterfall tears… if this was anime. But this is real life, meaning the guy in front of me wasn't crying out waterfalls, though his eyes were getting wattery.

"DUDE! ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!" Andy shouted at me. Man, I know his excited and all (I am too), but he could at least turn down the volume… . "JUST LOOK AT THIS!"

'This' being our combine collection of Ghost Eyecons, the current merchandise for this year's Kamen Rider; Ghost. In the show, there are 15 Ghost Eyecons representing Luminaries. Gathering all 15 will result in one's wish being granted.

… Assuming one has a Ghost Driver, Ghost's transformation device. … Which also serves as Kamen Rider Specter's transformation device, Specter being Ghost's sidekick to put it very simply.

Now, 15 of these puppies didn't seem likely to result in the waterworks being released by the guy next to me. That's because he bought most of the DX (deluxe) Luminary Ghost Eyecons, seeing that those Eyecons are sold seperately unlike certain previous Kamen Rider merchandise that had the tendency of being sold with a very unwanted toy.

Heck, even Ghost suffered from this; the DX Houdini (Yes, as in Harry Houdini) Ghost Eyecon was sold with it's counterpart from another Kamen Rider Ghost Toy Line (a toy line I don't feel like explaining at the moment). So, Andy here bought in online, separated from it's unwanted companion.

Hey, his money. He can do whatever he wants with it. I would've bought the whole dang box anyway because I like how the boxes were designed.

Anyway, Andy bought most of the Ghost Eyecons, but some came with a set. Like the DX Ghost Driver, it came with the DX Edison (Yes, as in Thomas Edison) Ghost Eyecon to help better show the gimmick of the show. Whereas the DX Musashi (as in Miyamoto Musashi) Ghost Eyecon was sold with the DX Gan Gun Saber, Ghost's sidearm weapon.

Guess who was the one who bought the DX Ghost Driver and the DX Gan Gun Saber?

That's right, this guy.

Though, that's not the only reason Andy is crying over the complete collection. Kamen Rider is currently going through a phase. In this phase, the collectables of each Rider has the habit of bringing back previous Riders through these collectibles.

For Ghost, it meant Legend Rider Ghost Eyecons of his predecessors. So far, it only seem to be for the Riders of the Heisei Era, whereas those from the Showa Rider had been skipped over this time around.

Now, these Legend Rider Ghost Eyecons weren't really sold in the DX format, instead being sold through Candy Toys and Gashapon releases. I have absolutely no idea what the Candy Toys are (I'm assuming that if you buy some candy, they give you a free toy with the purchase) but Gashapon refers to those vending machines that gives you toys in capsules.

Ghost's predecessors in the same phase as he was in right now were sold separately. His remaining predecessors (those that came before the phase) were released in a set.

A very expensive set.

… Guess who was the chump who used his hard earned cash (along with his parents…) to buy that set?

… Yeah, it was me… . I'm the chump… .

… Totally worth it though, even though my parents are very annoyed with me as a result.

So, Andy bought the Legend Rider Eyecons that weren't in the set, and now I'm letting him keep all of the Legend Rider Ghost Eyecons as well as the missing Luminary Ghost Eyecons that I have.

… What? It's a 10-minute drive to his house from mine. It's not that big of a deal to me. And if he sells all of the Eyecons without confiding to me first then I'm going to kick his ass. … And take three-fourth of the money he would get.

"Uh… , Lucas? Lucas?" Andy gave me a concerned look as he waved a hand over my face. Whoops, my monologue went too long.

"Uh, yeah?" I stuttered out.

"You okay man?" He asked me, and I stared at him for a moment before went back to staring at the complete collection of Ghost Eyecons. (Technically it was complete, as far as I'm concern anyway)

I stayed quiet a bit before saying, "Get the camera."

He gave me a mock salute before rushing outside of his room to get a camera. We could use our smartphones but honestly? Our smartphone cams were complete shit compared to a proper camera.

So I sat on his bed, waiting for Andy to come back as I stared at the 31 Ghost Eyecons. I guess I should save up some money to buy 4 more Ghost Eyecons… . Sue me, but I don't like how one of the two Eyecon sets had an extra Ghost Eyecon. Then again, I could save myself the trouble and just by the DX Galileo (Yes, as in Galileo Galilei) Ghost Eyecon and then just put him next to Drive (who was last year's Kamen Rider and thus, Ghost's direct predecessor)… .

… .

… Ah man, what am I doing with my life? Collecting Kamen Rider merchandise is great and all but it's such a waste of money considering how fucking expensive they were. I should be donating all of this money to people who really need it, not spend it on a fucking expensive collection that would go to complete waste when I pass away!

But… what is the point anyway? We all live, we all die eventually. Do our actions matter in the long run? The world is, mostly, at peace. Sure there are scuffles here and there but that's just because humanity is being complete idiots that are obsessed with proving their superiority over everything, especially over one another.

In this world, victory seems to be the only thing that matters.

… What's the point of being victorious over everything else when there will always be one winner in the game of Life and Death?

Then again, if everyone in the world shared my attitude, hospitals wouldn't really exist now would it? Everything they do there, everything, is just a stall. They just keep the game going, yet know full well that ultimately the game would just end up with the exact same winner.

And that goes for the police too, and the firefighters, and everyone else with jobs.

Their actions don't really matter in the long run. Yet they continue to live out their lives the best they can, shaping out the future while it's still their turn before passing it onto the next generation… .

… God dang, I feel like a fucking old man thinking about this stuff… .

Ah~… I wish I could just… live in another world with far more action in it. A world with more individuality in it. A world where you can grab power with your own two hands instead of playing a game of politics and hoping that you don't get beaten.

"Man, I wish I could live in a world like RWBY… . Sure, it might be hard, but it beats being just another sheep in this godforsaken world." I muttered out loud a bit bitterly. Well, nothing can really be done about it, huh?

Never surrender to the cruelty of the world and the people around me… and just live my life the best I can. That's the only thing I can do here.

… .

… Man, what the hell is taking Andy so long with that damn camera?

Getting up from his bed, I stretched a little bit to get the blood flowing. Cracking my neck a bit, something at the corner of my eye got my interest. It was by Andy's window actually.

Huh, guy in a mask whose drawing out a gun.

… .

… Oh shi-!

*BANG!*


"My my… . That was a real shame… ."

"Hm. It's always regretful to see a life end."

"Come on guys! You can't be serious! We can't just let him die just like that!"

"Do not let seeing this injustice right before your eyes cloud your mind. Why should he deserve a second chance out of everyone else in the world suffering a similar fate?"

"Because we're all heroes aren't we?! He's right there! Right in front of us! We can't just let him die when we have the power to do something about it!"

"He's right. We are the people's final hope. If we just leave him to die when we can do something about it, we would be spitting on our ideals and our comrades who believe in us."

"Never again will we let people fall into despair, right?"

"I agree. It would be a shame to let him die. Despite his views of the world, life and humanity; he still believes in it. He still believes in humanity's potential."

"Eh, I don't know… . He's kinda rough around the edges, don't you think ze yo?"

"Have you not seen how these ruffians act? I actually prefer the child over you all."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean, huh bitch?! You picking a fight or something?!"

"Grandmother said this: Immature fruit is sour, producing immature fights."

"The hell does fruit have anything to do with this?!"

"He's basically saying you're an idiot."

"What?! You wanna say that to my face, kabuto-bastard?!"

"Hey hey hey! Come on now! We're getting off-track here!"

"… You have been quiet for a while now, Musashi. You along with Edison have been with the child the longest. Edison has already said his piece. Do you not have anything to say about this?"

"Hey! What are we, chopped liver?!"

"Well, Musashi-sama and Edison-sama have been with Lucas a lot longer then we have… ."

"So?! We've got a right to say our piece too!"

"… . My siblings in arms! Let us give him a chance! We are his inspirations! We are his heroes as well as the world's! Let us give him a chance to show his gratefulness to us!"

"… ."

"Okay!"

"Yeah!"

"Why not? It'll be interesting."

"… ."

"So… , what are we going to do with him? We can't revive him here. It'll raise too many questions. Questions whose answers the world isn't ready to accept."

"Hm… . Oh! I know! Why don't we grant his wish?!"

"You mean, his wish about living in the world of Remnant?"

"Heh. I bet a certain passing through Kamen Rider can relate to that."

"Hn."

"I actually figured he would speak up more, considering he's one of his top three favourite Riders… ."

"Shut up!"

"It's cute how he can't handle genuine compliments."

"Yup."

"Um… senpai? You're doing it again… ."

"What did you expect? There's 31 people in this group. Conversations are bound to get sidetracked a bit."

"Enough with these foolish shenanigans! Tell us more about this Remnant."

"Well, you know how these kids have the tendency of taking us out of their closets to mess around a bit. Sometimes the kid watches this show called RWBY while we're still out, so we kinda overhear a few things."

"… Do you believe in destiny?"

"Eh?"

"Tsukasa?"

"… Destiny?"

"That's right. One of the more prominent villains there said yes. That she believed in destiny as she killed an honest soul."

"… ."

"There's a lot of outrage over that soul's death. I bet it would be a pretty good way to judge the kid's character to see how he would react to that situation if he was there and had the power to stop it."

"What do you think, Musashi?"

"… Pyrrha Nikos was an honest soul. A fine warrior who had her future taken from her as Remnant fell into chaos. As the Rider says, her death had caused an outrage amongst her supporters. In fact, many supporters of RWBY were outraged at how reality made itself known to that world."

"… No matter where you are in the universe, there will always be pain. There will always be people who abuse their strength to dominate over the weak… . Remnant is no different."

"Ah, now we know how Kami-sama over here is going to test the kid. And it's pretty obvious where the conversation is going. So, let's get this over with, yeah?"

"Blunt as always, aren't you Shotaro?"

"Don't ruin my moment Philip."

"Your moment has been ruined anyway, Double."

"Oi!"

"Now then, everyone in favour of partially reviving the kid and sending him to Remnant say 'Aye'."

"Aye!"

"Great! Now, if I may put in a suggestion as to where we should put him… ."


Ugh… . My aching head… . What… ?

… .

… !

Oh God… . Oh God… ! What the actual-!

… !

… .

Uh… why am I in bed with a girl I don't even know?

Oh God… . Oh God I am so dead if she wakes up.

… !

… And… she… just… woke up… .

"… ."

"… ."

Don't say something stupid… ! Don't say something stupid… ! For the love of God man, don't say something stupid!

"Uh… hi?"

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

So how was that? Must've been a doozy to kickstart of a generic Kamen Rider crossover, right?

I'll be honest with you; I generally don't like writing Kamen Rider crossovers in First Person. I don't know, seems a little… cheating? I feel like there would be more of a challenge in a writer's perspective if they write the story in Third Person.

But well, this is a story dedicated to Stranger. And he has a habit of writing his SIs in First Person. … As well as being Muslim.

*Sigh*

I generally don't like making my SIs Muslim because in crossovers like this, where it takes place in another world… well, it kinda complicate a few matters doesn't it?

Oh, I am so going to hate mail for that. I know that Islam isn't that much of a complicated religion… on Earth.

But my crossovers generally don't take place in another parallel Earth now do they? (Earlier crossovers doesn't count because I was still getting my feet wet and felt like I wasn't ready to take on the world)

No, they take place in another world with it's own history vastly different from Earth's.

Something Islam doesn't take in consideration for obvious reasons.

Sheesh I feel like I'm going to have to work on a Kamen Rider/Ms. Marvel fic to make myself feel better.

… Whoops. Spoilers.

Anyway, see you next chapter folks!
