Act 1: Rated R for Reason.
Chapter 1: Prelude to Battle.
The bell rang within the classroom, dismissing the classmates as Ron found himself tired as hell. He wore his normal black jeans, shoes, and a black vest. Ron yawned, getting up, picking up his heavily worn black leather jacket. Smirking, he put it on as he began to leave towards the door.
"Ron. We need to talk."
Ron sighed, turning around as his teacher held up a white textbook with various drawings in it.
"What you write about your other classmates isn't very nice. Jake actually works very hard. And Troy doesn't always cut class!"
"This is why I call that book my "Private" book. I'd like to have it back thank you very much."
His teacher sighs, shaking her head as she tossed it to him.
"You have a lot of potential, you know that Ron?"
Ron catches his book and places his bag on.
"Of course you would say that. That's what you get paid for anyway." Ron walks off, placing his earphones into his head. The earphones were black, from the wires all the way to the actually buds. He stormed out, listening to rock.
"It's not too late. It's never too late. World…We know won't…come back. TIME. We had…Won't! Get back."
Three Days Grace's Never too Late. One of his favorite songs. He walked past the doors, ready to exit before finding a female teenager he was secretly avoiding. Quickly, Ron tried to walk the other way.
"RON. I can hear your keys a mile away."
Ron sighed, turning around, removing his headphones. He paused it for the moment.
"Hey…"
Ron took a deep breath, sighing. Of all the people to stumble into, it had to be her! Damn her pretty smile and her nice manners and how she always notices me and-Ron?! Snap out of it. I am so punching myself in the stomach later.
"Seriously Ron. What's up with the keys?"
"Mostly key chains…"
"But do you have the keys to my heart?"
Ron blinks. Tessa Ozbel. Of all people to fall for. Not that I like her. I really don't.
"Um…Uh…"
"So. Today's Friday. Do you have any plans?"
"I AM GOING TO BATHE IN THE BLOOD OF MY ENEMIES!"
"Okay…I'm just going to let you…do that. And happy birthday!"
"How did you…?"
"I have my ways." Tessa smiled brightly. "Enjoy!"
Sighing, Ron placed his music back into his ears as he walked out.
"I! HATE! You! LOVE! I. HATE! You. LOVE! I. Hate! Everything about you! WHY? DO I…STILL LOVE YOU? YOU. HATE. EVERYTHING ABOUT ME! WHY. DO YOU…..LOVE ME? I. HATE. YOU. HATE. I. LOVE. YOU!" Ron sighed, switching the song from Three Days Grace's I Hate Everything About You to something from Nothing More.
"A little sleep…A little slumber. A little folding of the hands. Left you weak! Left you…"
Ron walked away, shaking his head at the sky. He noticed that the clouds were black and just like that, it started to rain. Ron smiled, enjoying the sound of the rain. That's when his life changed. As he went to cross the street, Ron saw his first monster. The sky immediately turned red as a shadow started walking towards a bystander. Invisible at first, as the shadow walked into the bystander, the civilian randomly fell to the ground. The onlookers were in shock as they also began to drop like flies.
"What's going on?"
That's when Ron saw it. The shadow revealed itself. All Ron could see was a black empty in a humanoid figure.
"Nice costume asshole. Where's the hidden camera?"
The shadow walked slowly towards Ron. An incoming car hit the shadow as it walked but the car skidded out of control, exploding instantly.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Ron began to back away from the shadow as it was within a foot 's length.
Suddenly, it just froze as it began to grab him.
"…What's happening…?"
As Ron backed away even more, he felt something wet touch his hair. As he looked up, he saw rain drops frozen in the air. As he turned around, he saw that everything seemed to slow down. Ron turned around, running fast as he could away from the shadow. After a while, Ron collapsed, falling to the ground, breathing heavily. A large circle appeared before him, as a projection of a dragon appeared before him. The dragon was clouded in a dark aura. It had gold talons, a spiked black talon, and fiery orange flames in a wing shaped. On its chest was a blue jewel, the rest of the body too dark to make out.
"What are you?"
"You have two options human. LIVE. Or DIE. Listen fast as I cannot freeze time for much longer. The figure you saw as a Shadow? It's a henchman from the forces known as the Risen. The shadow is called 'Shadow Rizen.' It is merely a glimpse of what the full potential of the Risen can do. Do you want to be able to live?"
"How the hell am I supposed to answer to that?!"
"Your heart has much darkness to it. And will be the perfect conduit for the Grim Ryui. It will be your Henshin Device. You have a choice."
The dragon summons three objects. A black Katana, a strange looking gun, and a tricked out music player.
"Choose two."
"What's the catch?"
"Pick two to save you. The other will try to kill you."
He seems like a nice fellow.
"We are connected now. You cannot hide anything from me. Choose now Ron."
"Fine. The Katana and the music player."
"Then the Reaper will be after you. What an interesting battle to witness."
The katana and music player goes into each of Ron's hand. The music player transforms with the music player, becoming a single black object with no headphones.
"What did you do with my MP3?!"
"Made it better. Step forward to receive your belt."
Ron stepped forward, a white skull belt buckle appearing in front of him. Ron took it, the belt biting into his hand.
"OW! What the hell is that for?!"
"Watch your tone child."
"Right…Sorry."
The skull went into Ron's original skull belt and replaced it. A ring and pendant appeared on Ron's hand.
"Place the two objects onto the skull's head."
"Right."
Ron rushed to comply, placing the pedant and ring next to the skull. The skull's mouth opened up and a tendril appeared, grabbing the pendants and ring into it.
"Warrior. Say…Henshin."
"Why?"
"It's the part of the tradition."
"Henshin then!"
The skull began to shed redness. A ball of energy rotates around him, spinning around him quickly until it consumes him. Ron then rotates the skull upside down. The skull began to yell as heavy rock played from the skull.
{RIDER. LOCKED.}
Ron then rotates the skull to the original position as the energy went directly in the skull. The belt straps began to grow spikes on it.
{RIDER. READY. TIME TO BATHE-IN-BLOOD.}
Ron finds himself turning into a Kamen Rider. His eyes glow as he learned the full extent of his powers. His transformation then completed.
"Kamen Rider….Reason."
Kamen Rider Reason had a purple helmet with a silver crest on it. On his torso was armor that was also purple with silver lining on it. His hands had purple armor, his left hand holding a metallic shield. He had a metallic gray cloth wrapped around his waist as well as second cloth handing from the belt. His under armor was purple and black. His boots consisted of a purple, black, and metallic color scheme. His back had a mini wing that was colored black and silver.
"You are able to control time and portals now. Don't die. You'll regret it."
Time resumed and the portal and dragon disappeared, Ron remaining in his armor. His music player disappeared by the Katana was on his side. He unsheathed it, examining the blade. Reason opened a portal, finding the Shadow Rizen. The Shadow charged at him as Reason smirked, posing.
"Drown in your own blood!"
Reason held the Katana, waving it around as he emitted a dark aura. Reason then charged at the shadow, the battle starting…
