"Be careful."

"I always am, mom," Toby sighed. He held up the Garren Buckle. Ever since he had gotten the rider system, he rarely parted with it.

He liked the Garren Buckle a lot. Most rider systems came complete, in that you had access to all of your forms and powers from the start, but the Garren system wasn't like that. If he wanted to get stronger he would have to defeat undead.

Toby glanced at the Rouze Absorber. The small black box would be useless unless he defeated some powerful undead. All in all, it would make for a very interesting adventure.

"Well, I should get going," Toby said, pushing his seat away from the table. He dropped his dish in the sink, hugged his mom, and then headed out the door.

The Red Rambass was parked behind the house. Toby admired the machine for several seconds before climbing onto it and starting the engine. He pulled his helmet on, waving at his mom, who was standing in the window.

He pulled the bike out of the driveway and then accelerated down the road.

Toby's mom smiled as her son vanished around a corner. "Your father would be proud of you."

----------------------------------------

Toby quickly left the small town behind. Red Rambass' speed was like nothing he had ever ridden before with the exception being some roller coasters. He wondered for a moment if he should risk such speeds, but there were no police on this stretch of road.

The road followed the coastline for a good distance. To Toby's left were grass-covered hills and to his left was a rock cliff that dropped to the sandy beach below and then the ocean.

Toby wished he could stop to admire the view, but he wanted to get to the first round as quickly as possible and besides he had seen this place plenty of times before.

There was a cave not too far away where he and his friends would go spelunking. He remembered the first time his father had taken him to that cave. He smiled at the memory.

A scream pierced the air. Toby gasped. The sound had come from a little ways up the road. He pushed the bike to its full speed and as he rounded the next corner, found the source of the commotion.

A black van had slammed into a large rock on the side of the road. The windshield was smashed to pieces. Toby was sure that he could make out an unmoving body in the passenger seat. The driver's door was ajar and the driver had managed to crawl out.

She was now lying motionless in the middle of the road; the creature that Toby was willing to bet was responsible for the whole thing, standing over top of her. The bat undead looked up and glared at Toby.

"You…" Toby growled angrily and then grabbed the Garren Buckle. He slid the Change Ace into the device and a stream of cards extended out of the side of the buckle, wrapping around Toby's waist to form the belt straps.

The bat undead leapt toward him, soaring through the air.

"Henshin!" Toby shouted pulling the panel on his belt that triggered the transformation.

"Turn Up!" the belt announced in a computerized voice. A glowing blue screen shot from the belt stopping in front of Toby. The bat undead slammed into screen and screeched in pain as it was flung backwards.

Toby revved his bike's engine and charged through the screen, the Garren suit materializing on him as he did.

The bat undead leapt into air, avoiding being rammed by the Red Rambass. Toby pulled the Garren Rouzer from its holster and road after the flying undead. Toby squeezed the trigger of his weapon, sending bullets at the undead. Several of his shots hit their mark, sparks flying from the undead at the impacts.

The Undead turned and dived at Garren. It closed the distance quickly and Toby didn't have enough time to react. The bat grabbed him and yanked him off his bike. Toby gasped as he found the ground getting farther away. He placed the Garren Rouzer against the bat's chest and pulled the trigger. The monster screeched in pain and lost altitude.

Toby fired several more times, as the bat fell into a glide. Garren noted they were gliding toward the ocean. The bat changed course, looping back toward shore. Toby turned to find the rocky cliff face getting closer. The kamen rider slammed his gun against the bat's head. The bat screeched and released its grip. Toby screamed as he fell toward the ground.

He grunted as he landed on a large boulder. If it weren't for the rider suit the fall would have seriously injured him. As it was, he just had a few bruises. Garren climbed to his feet and looked up just in time to leap out of the way of the diving undead.

The leap carried him off the rock and to the sand below. Garren hit the ground prepared and rolled to his feet. He spun and pointed his gun at the sky. The bat undead was still hovering in the air, glaring down at him.

Let's see just how fast you are, Toby thought spreading out the card holders on his rouzer. He grabbed one of the cards and slid it through the rouzer.

"Bullet"

Toby pointed the gun at the undead and pulled the trigger. The enhanced bullet connected with the bat's chest and the monster dropped to the ground. Toby quickly removed two more cards and slid them through the rouzer.

"Drop"

"Fire"

"Burning Smash"

The power of the rouzed cards poured into Garren's armor. He leapt into the air, twisting into a drop kick position. The bat undead stood up, only to be hit by Garren's flame covered feet.

The undead was knocked back by the blow and landed on its back. Its belt buckle cracked in half, revealing an eight inscribed there.

Toby grabbed the proper blank from his rouzer and tossed it at the undead. The undead's body glowed green as it was sucked into the card. Once the undead was completely sealed, the card flew back into Toby's waiting hand.

"You will never take another life," Toby said, glancing at the card's face and the undead sealed there.
