I do not own Kamen Rider 555 or Infinite Stratos.
Houki couldn't stop thinking about what happened last night as she got up from her bed, she looked to see Ichika not in bed which made her wonder where he is right now, she still needed him to answer her questions. As she followed her morning routine, she couldn't help but wonder about what was that monster and what was the armor that Ichika used to kill it. And she wonder where he is right now.
"Look I'm telling you I can't stay here." Ichika said, he's currently in the principle's office just to move out of the dorms and back into his house so that way he doesn't have to share a room with Houki. Ichika's current attire is a white shirt, a brown long sleeved over shirt, blue jeans, black boots and a necklace with a ring atatched to it.
"I'm sorry, but you have to stay in the dorms for..." The principle started.
"For my own protection from any IS componies. I got it." Ichika interupted. IS Academy was made to make sure that people who can use an IS is safe from the componies and since Ichika is the first male IS pilot, he's now (to him) being forced to stay here just for his own protection. Since when did Ichika needed protection in the first place? He can be fine on his own.
"Well if you do know that, then you would have to find a place nearby the Academy." The principle said, it's only exceptional if there were students that has a place to stay near the train station.
"Well how about this..." Ichika started getting the principle's attention. "I know a place near the monorail station and it's a place where I work part-time."
"Will your boss even let you live with him?" The principle asked while she noticed that Chifuyu just came in.
"Hold that thought." Ichika said before grabbing his phone and typed Keitaro's phone number.
"Hello?" Ichika's boss answered the phone.
"Hey Keitaro." Ichika said.
"Ikkun! How's it going?" Keitaro asked and happy to hear his employee's voice.
"I told you not to call me by that nickname." Ichika sighed before getting back onto the topic. "Can I crash at your place? I need a place to stay since your place is not too far from IS Academy and my roomates a girl."
"Alright, even I don't know why." Keitaro said while Ichika sighed again. Keitaro's always been a bit of an idiot, but he know's how to cheer up people, even though he's not very good at it. "I'll see ya later." And with that, he hanged up the phone.
"He says I can crash at his place." Ichika said while the princible sighed and he let out a small smirk.
"Fine." the princible said. "Now go to your class."
"Alright." Ichika said, he noticed his older sibling but never bothered to stop and say hi. Chifuyu was about to head to her class earlier, but she noticed Ichika coming to the princible's office so she went to go get him but now she found out that her brother, who she thought he's supposed to be an idiot that she know's, gotten clever into getting his boss at his part time to crash at his place. Chifuyu then walked with him to class, so she decided to tell him that he's gonna get a personal IS in a few days.
"Ichika." the older Orimura said getting his attention.
"What?" He asked sounding like he didn't want to talk.
"Just to let you know, I'm about to…"
"Don't bother." Ichika interupted her as if she knew what she was saying. "I've already got a personal IS coming in a few days." Ichika told her sibling, now getting her curious. "Before you ask, you could say I got a friend that know's someone." he told her now curious on what this IS is.
(Play-Pray by Tommy Heavenly 6)
The song begins with the Faiz Logo slowly descending towards the screen, at the moment it landed, the entire screen was covered in blue flames.
[Let's go out open my mind. Let's go sweet dream other side. Ima tokihanatsu kago no soto he] Ichika rides the Auto Vajin with Houki hanging onto him, Mari rides on her own bike with Keitaro behind her, Ichika speeded up with Mari behind him as he jumped off an edge with a grin on his face and Mari follows along.
[Sabitsuita kagi nariyamanu kodou. Kizuiteta mou modorenai] Ichika lands in an alley way with a bunch of thugs on the ground beaten up then he faces the screen with a neutral look, before it switches to Keitaro working at the laundromat in a hurry. In a screen split, there was Mari practicing her beautician skills and Houki practicing her kendo skills before the scene switches to Chifuyu, who looks ticked off and Ichika, Houki, Mari and Keitaro saw it then ran for their lives while Ichika had an annoyed look.
[Ushinawareta hibi ga (Hey baby why?) Aoku Tsunagatteku (I want to cry...)] Faiz stands alone on a battlefield with the Faiz Edge in his right hand before an image of Ichika appears and looks up to the sky while the Wolf Orphnoch appears in his shadow.
[Kowagaru jibun ni maketakunai yo. Unmei kara nigenai "Hitori ja nai."] Ichika felt like someone was watching him and he looked back to see a group of Riotroopers and some of them charged at him. Ichika quickly turns into Faiz and slashed a couple Riotroopers with the Faiz Edge and under his helmet, he let out a yell.
[Soba ni iru tatoe donna ni, kanashii yume da to shite mo kamawanai] Ichika wakes up on a grassy hill from a nap while some cherry blossoms lightly fall down, he sat up and looked to his left to see Houki, who noticed he woke up, smile at him and Mari did the same while Keitaro is being held by Auto Vajin around the head, he looked to his left to see Kiba letting out a sigh as Kaido chows down on some takoyaki and Yuka giggles a bit before Ichika looked up to the sky as he lies down and let out a very small smile.
[Kimi no namida ni furetai yo… Baby] Psyga and Lucky Clover stands around in a ruined area before a figure with white lines and orange eyes shoots the screen the some sort of gun while the delta symbol is behind him.
[I pray shinjite!] A yellow lined figure held a yellow blade backhanded while the chi-symbol is behind him before Orga takes his place as the omega symbol is behind him while he carries the Stlanzer and leans it against his shoulder.
[Tsumetai kioku no yami kirisaite.] Ichika is now seen standing a rooftop looking at the city while he carries the Faiz Edge in his right hand and the Faiz Gear is on his waist, Ichika looks at the city with a neutral look on his face while the wind blows his hair before the Auto Vajin appears and landed beside him.
(Later in class)
Soon after Maya's teachings, Chifuyu stepped up to announce something important.
"We're now going to elect a representative for an interclass tournament two weeks from now. The class representative not only participates in the tournament, she also has to attend student council meetings and committee meetings. It can be considered for class president. Nominating oneself or others are allowed. So that said, any volunteers?"
A student raised her hand.
"Yes, I would like to nominate Orimura."
"I feel the same." Another student said.
Ichika did a 'Tch' at this, this sorta scene basically reminded him of elementary school, on a day he was sick, he was elected class leader without him knowing and he didn't even wanted to in the first place.
"Are there any other volunteers? If there isn't, it'll be an uncontested walkover." Chifuyu said. Ichika hoped that there was someone else who'll take the role from him.
"I'll never accept this!" A familiar voice said which made Ichika silently groaned but was unsurprised that Cecilia, out of all the students, would protest to this. "Are you suggesting that I, Cecilia Alcott, live with the shame for the rest of the year? Besides, for me to stay in a country with such regressing culture…it's already an unbearable misery."
"Someone really needs to slap some reality into this spoiled princess." Ichika thought as he then looked at her with an irritated face. "You know, if you hate me so much, why don't you be class rep then?!"
"That is against school policy Orimura," Chifuyu interrupted. "The class charters and codes clearly state that a class representative is nominated by the class body."
"And what does it say about people who, I don't know, don't care!?" Ichika snapped.
"Unfortunately for you, there is no clause which permits nominees to step down from their positions." Chifuyu countered with a smirk, but she's also secretly worried for her brothers attitude and why he's like this.
"See, this is the kind of treatment you can expect from a man!" Cecilia motioned the class. "Brutish, callous, and without any etiquette at all!"
"Shut up, girl…"The room went deathly silent, Ichika then looked at her with a dangerous look as if he's being tempted to kill.
"I have hardly any time for myself since I was shanghaied to this damn place, I'm very tired and very stressed but…" Ichika then walked up to his accuser and no one noticed that his eyes turned red but quickly turned back. "I will be damned if I let a brat like you order me around and piss me off just because you want to be little miss perfect"
Ichika then calmed down, the room breathed an inward sigh of relief, all except Cecilia, whose flames of indignation were stoked even further.
"You filthy dog!" Cecilia snapped.
"What did you just call me?" Ichika questioned.
"That's right, 'DOG'! You're just a mutt off the streets compared to my heritage." Cecilia barked at him.
"Please, being a mutt is much better than being a blueblood any day of the week, at least my parents aren't related to each other!" Ichika countered despite the fact that he doesn't know his parents are, but he will some day, he so will.
"You will stop insulting me at once! this calls for a duel! And if you should ever lose to me on purpose, then I shall make you my servant! No, I shall make you my slave!" Cecilia challenged
"Fine," Ichika replied. "So what will it be?"
"Excuse me?"
"Fencing, riding, tennis, shooting? Name your pick."
"Are you daft?" She replied dumbly.
"Is there a problem?" Ichika questioned deciding to play dumb.
"It's obviously with an IS, you twit! you're in this academy for the sole purpose of using and manipulating the bloody things!" Cecilia snapped
"All right fine then, so how much handicap?" Ichika asked.
Cecilia blinked before she and the class started laughing, Ichika grew five comical stress marks at this in anger at this, but he was unsurprised at the result considering the sexist society that he lives in.
"Orimura, are you serious?" A student asked.
"Boys being stronger than girls are a thing of the past, even before the IS was born!" Another laughed.
"If guys are to battle girls, then it wouldn't last three days!" Another joked.
The only student who wasn't laughing was Houki, she saw how much Ichika put up a fight against the Stingfish Orphnoch last night, looking back on it he looks like he can take care of himself. Although, she did noticed that he fought like a street brawler.
"On the contrary, it is I who should be thinking whether to give you a time limit. Japanese guys are so funny." Cecilia commented but Ichika had an angry look.
"You've got another thing coming if you think I'm going to lose to a little girl like you…" Ichika said in a tone which made the class go silent once again, really silent.
"You know, Orimura-kun, I think you're underestimating Alcott-san, she's the Representative of Britain." one of the students spoke, who Ichika ingnored her.
"Looks like this is settled. then," Chifuyu interjected. "The competition will be staged in Arena Three, which I believe is available next Monday. Orimura, Alcott, by then I expect you to be fully prepared for combat."
Ichika, without a single sound, left the room.
(At another part of the city)
A bunch of people were minding their own buisness while some student's were going to their school, but a man went into an alley way and in the alleyway were some thugish people, also there's a truck in there.
"I take it it's here?" the man who seamed to be the leader asked them.
"Yeah boss." a thug replied. "Smart Brain as some sweet equipment." he said while he grabbed the case and opened it showing it to the leader.
"Good." he said holding a devilish smirk. "Now all that's left now is to return the favor by getting the Faiz Gear." he said wanting to see who this Faiz character is. He heard something and saw a civilian standing there. "But first…" he started while some marks appeared and turned into a Elephant Orphnoch.
Only screaming could be heard and no one outside the alley heard it.
(Back at IS Academy)
Ichika waited in line so he can get his food, personally he hoped that there wasn't any thing thats spicy or hot, he never liked that knid of stuff. It's always hot for his tounge, even though he doesn't admit it, he's a nekojita and he's been one since he was ten. After he got his lunch, his eyebrow's twitched a bit seeing that the food he got is steaming fried rice, pork cutlet, tea and miso soup.
"Thanks." Ichika said not wanting to give off a bad impression, the Faiz User took his food to look for a place to sit alone, he didn't like being close to people very often because it can sometimes be a bother. Ichika then spotted a table which is empty, so he took the opertunity to go there and eat alone. When Ichika sat down at the table, he picked up his tea and started to blow on it hard but made sure that the drops doesn't go flying, when he took a sip his tongue started to feel hot and when he swallowed some, he had a sour face before blowing on it some more.
"Can I sit you with you?" Ichika stopped his blowing and looked to see Houki holding her lunch on a tray.
"Sure." he shrugged as he continued blowing on his tea, when Houki sat down she noticed that he's been blowing on his tea for a while, she'll ask about that later because she needs him to answer her questions.
"Hey, what was that thing you fought last night?" Houki asked while Ichika took a sip of his tea, after that he had a sattisfied look on his face for some reason.
"Orphnoch." he answered, not looking up at her.
"Orphnoch?" Houki asked.
"Let's just say that they are guys that used to be human." Ichika said before he's now blowing on his steamed rice. "But enough about that, what were you doing last night?" he asked before going back to blowing his fried rice.
"Some light shined into our room and I saw you leaving." Houki explained.
"Alright." Ichika said not looking at her and he took a bit out of his rice before obtaining a sour look.
"Also, what was that armor you wore?" Houki asked while she was still thinking that the Faiz armor resembled an IS.
"Look, I don't like talking about a bunch of things, so how about I show you while I'm patrolling tonight?" Ichika said before taking a bite out of his fried rice, then had a satisfied look on his face.
"Excuse me, you're Ichika Orimura, right?" A student asked.
Ichika nodded before started to blow on his miso soup.
"I heard you challenged a candidate representative, right?" The student asked. "But, you're an amateur, right?"
"I wouldn't say I'm not unfamiliar with fighting." Ichika answered remembering on how he always been involved street fighting.
"Okay well if you ever need a tutor on IS combat, just call me." The student answered.
"No thank you, since I will be training him in IS combat." Houki said.
Ichika looked at her with a hint of surprise, but then shrugged it off and went back to blowing his miso soup.
"You're a freshman, aren't you?" The student asked. "Well I'm a senior."
"I'm Tabane Shinonono's younger sister." Houki said. "There's no need for you." She said.
The student seemed irritated.
"I-If that's so, I guess there's nothing to be done about it." She said before leaving. Ichika looked back at Houki.
'Honestly, nice save.' Ichika thought as he went back to blowing for a moment before tasting the soup and having a satisfied look on his face. Ichika then took the bowl of miso soup and chugged it down, but then realized it's a bad idea since his face turned sour and started to sip on his water to cool his tongue.
"Are you okay?" Houki asked noticing the look on Ichika's face.
"I'm okay." he replied before blowing on his pork cutlet.
"Ano…" another student said getting the two's attention, but Ichika wasn't looking at her.
"What?" he asked still blowing on his pork.
"Can I ask on why you didn't accept the third years offer to help you out with understanding an IS?" the student asked. "Because, I know there's another reason." she finished.
"I don't need help, I can try to learn how to use an IS on my own." he plainly answered.
"Alright, whatever you say… worthless nekojita boy." she said earning a comical vain mark from Ichika and a ticked off look on his face.
"Hold on! How did you know that…" Ichika started while he looked at the student and when he got a better look at her, she's a girl who looks like she's sixteen and she has brown hair and brown eyes. Ichika looked at her for a moment as if he know's her and he then got a little bit of a surprised look on his face. "Mari!?" he said getting a surprise from Houki that he knows her.
"It's about time you noticed me Ichika." the girl dubbed Mari said as she sat down right next to Ichika. "So how's it going? Did ya miss me?"
"It's only been two months." Ichika plainly said after he regained his composure. "And besides; I forgot that you attend this school." he finished before going back to blowing on his pork.
"I knew you'd forget that, knowing you." Mari said earning a look that practically said 'I hate you right now' from Ichika.
"Hey!" he exclaimed.
"Uh…" Houki said getting the two's attention. "You two know each other?" she asked with a hint of jelousy.
"Then let me introduce you two." Ichika said while eating some of his pork before swallowing. "Mari this is Houki Shinonono, a friend from my childhood." he introduced Houki to Mari. "Houki this is Mari Sonoda, a future beutician, friend I made a year ago and the actual owner of my armor." he finished surprising the two.
"Hey!" Mari whispered to Ichika while pulling him from the ear and the two are now under the table, only their upper bodies, to have a little private conversation. "Don't tell me she saw you as Faiz!" she whispered.
"I didn't let her see me transform on purpose, she snuck out of her room." Ichika said with a sigh. "And now she wants me to explain on what the Faiz Gear is and what the Orphnochs are!" he whispered.
"Well what do you think we should do now genius?" Mari sarcastically asked.
"I plan on taking her to one of my patrols, so she can see on what my job's like." Ichika answered. "And to make sure she doesn't get into any danger."
"What's going there?" Houki asked wondering on what they're talking about.
"Fine." Mari sighed before they sat properly back up and she looked at Houki. "Nothing, just a private discussion."
"Yeah, nothing to worry about." Ichika plainly said. "By the way, you wanted to help out with me understanding an IS right?" he asked before she could say anything else, Houki then thought about it.
(Academy Dojo)
Bamboo swords clashed as Houki, in her kendo outfit, and Ichika, who was still in his regular clothes but without his, did a sparing match so that way Houki can help Ichika learn about the IS System. While they were sparing, Mari was watching the scene.
(Another part of town)
The sound of humming came from a fifteen year old boy, he has a rather short and thin build, has spiky, desaturated brown hair with a prominent ahoge, and washed-out hazel eyes, wearing a zipped-up dull green hoodie with a red stripe along the zipper, an open black jacket with gold buttons over the hoodie, black jeans, and red sneakers with white toes. His hoodie has a logo of a red gas mask in a circle printed on the back of the hood, and the zipper goes all the way up to the top of the hood. He wears a pin shaped like a four-pointed star overlaid on a crescent moon; this is pinned to the lapel of his jacket. This is Makoto Naegi.
Makoto was humming a theme as he was in a good mood today, when he saw the news about the first male IS pilot he feels like Ichika Orimura can put an end to this sexist society. To be honest, he was glad there was someone like him along with a few friends of his, heck some of his friends are girls and find this society just wrong, because due to this he saw a bunch of guys feel despair and he didn't like it. Makoto finds despair just plain evil, he likes hope but he's not crazy enough for hope just to kill for it that would just be wrong.
"Hey, Neagichi!" he heard a voice and he looked to see a teen around his age and he has an extravagant hairstyle, spiky and large, which is dark brown. He wears three layers of shirts, the top one containing an old green uniform jacket, the second one containing a white rough shirt, and his third layer is a small yellow short sleeve shirt, wearing a big brown sash and uses a yellow rope as his belt. This is Makoto's friend Yasuhiro Hagakure, but people call him Hiro.
"Hey Hiro, what's up?" Makoto asked as he approached his crazy haired friend then sat down across him.
"Nothing much, just your average fortune teller doing fortune telling." Hiro casually answered while rubbing the back of his head. "Speaking of which, would you like your fortune taken?" he asked while holding up his own crystal ball.
"Sure." Makoto answered curious on what will be in store for him this time. Hiro then concentrated on the ball seeing what Makoto's future is gonna be like, Makoto could tell he's concentrating VERY hard and he could tell by the look in his eye. Hiro's eyes then widened after seeing what the future is.
"Huh, that's weird." Hiro said.
"What's weird?" Makoto asked his fortune telling friend.
"My crystal ball is telling me that there's gonna be monsters, dust and some sort of walkie talkie in your future." Yasuhiro told his friend.
"Monsters?" Makoto asked raising a brow curiously.
"Yeah…" Hiro answered, but then remembered something. "Oh and did you know a rumor that involves monsters?"
"No." Makoto said shaking his head.
"Alright, I'll tell you the rumor then…" Yasuhiro said clearing his throat before speaking. "There's a rumor about an armored red lined fighter, fighting against monsters that only come out at night, sometimes during the daytime." he said before getting out his I Pad and gave it to Makoto, showing a blury picture of someone with big yellow eyes and red neon lines fighting against something that resembles a minotaur. "Some person posted this photo online and people were talking about some sightings of this guy." he said while Makoto scrolled down seeing pictures of this guy fighting gray monsters. "Also, since this guy was saving people, they started to call him the 'Kamen Rider'."
"Kamen Rider?" Makoto asked curious about this guy.
"Yeah." Hiro nodded. "They called him that since he rides a motorcycle. Also, he may not look like it but he has a phone that turns into a gun and it announces 'Burst Mode' or 'Signal Mode' depending on what to shoot a he has a pointer that shoots out a drill and the handle bars of his bike are swords." he said while Makoto scrolled down some more seeing that his friend is right.
"I see." Makoto said before looking at the pictures with a face that looks like he's in thought. "Think that the armor may be an IS?" he guessed his friend.
"Even if it was an IS, it's too small Mr. Teen Detective." Yasuhiro pointed out, he's right though, Makoto's a teen detective but an optimistic one, but he'd prefer to become a cop when he's older. So in the mean time, he's a high school student while solving cases.
"Yeah…" Makoto said rubbing the back of his head. "And it couldn't be one, even if it could fly." he sheepishly said.
"But it would be weird if the the first male IS pilot Ichika Orimura was the Kamen Rider." Hiro laughed unaware on how right he is.
(With Ichika)
"ACHOO!" Ichika sneezed while he's next to his bike. After his match, which he won and surprised Houki, he decided to wait here with his packed up stuff that he needed like the Faiz Gear.
"Are you okay Ichika?" Auto Vajin asked with some concern.
"Yeah, someone might be talking about me again." Ichika assured with a hint of annoyance, ever since he saw a picture of Faiz on the web, he's been very annoyed. Although, he did like the name Kamen Rider.
"I still question the fact on how there are pictures of you in the first place." Auto Vajin commented.
"Yeah." Ichika said, he's been very cautious about people taking pics of him during his fights since then. Shrugging it off, he decided to give Auto Vajin a good polishing.
(With Houki and Mari)
"Huh, so your Ichika's childhood friend huh?" Mari said amused while Houki's changing back to her uniform.
"Yeah, what about it?" Houki asked not looking at her.
"I'm just wondering, what was he like as a kid?" Mari asked while thinking of new ways to constently tease him.
"Before answering that I've got one question to ask you…" Houki told her.
"Sure, fire away." Mari said not noticing the jelousy in her tone.
"Are you and Ichika… actually dating!?" she demanded very jelous that Mari knows Ichika, when Mari heard that question… she blushed a bit.
"I do not know what you mean and me and that nekojita are not dating!" Mari exclaimed while shaking her head.
"I see, well to answer your question earlier, he was a very nice, friendly and helpfull back then." Houki answered her question from earlier with a hint of relief.
"Huh to me that's weird…" Mari said sounding a bit surprised.
"Why's that?" Houki asked.
"Because the Ichika that I know is…" Mari started while Houki leaned in to listen. "…is more like a lone wolf and he tries not to interact with people to much."
"Why's that?" Houki asked a bit surprised, she thought that Ichika would be more social.
"Don't know…" Mari said, rubbing the back of her head before remembering something. "Bye the way, you might want to wear something casual."
"Why?" Houki asked.
"Since you want an explanation; we, along with Ichika, are gonna go out tonight." Mari said.
(With Ichika)
"Man, there's still nothing new." Ichika mused as he read a Shonen JUMP magazine at a park while it's currently sunset. When he was thirteen, he's obtain a habbit of reading JUMP just like Gintoki Sakata from Gintama.
"That's because JUMP needs time to think of something new." Auto Vajin said.
"Whatever…" Ichika said as he flipped a page and saw… "Oh, your right Auto Vajin, there is something new now." he said sounding a bit excited despite his current attitude.
"What is this new thing now?" the bike asked.
"A new DragonBall anime that takes place after the Buu Saga." Ichika answered to the robotic bike.
"I see." Auto Vajin said as the bike sounded like he sighed. Ichika read though the page but then felt a tap on his shoulder, he looked behind him to see… a bunch of thugish people with bats and knuckle dusters.
"Oh boy…" Ichika sighed knowing where this was going.
(With Houki and Mari)
'Why do I feel like that Ichika's fighting a bunch of thugs again?' Mari thought while she rides on her bike with Houki riding behind her, she knew him for a year and as far she could tell, he always get's into streetfights. Not on purpose though, the thugs that he beat up alway's to him for revenge for their beating.
"So uh… how did you and Ichika meet anyway?" Houki asked wondering how those two met.
"I met him when he mistook that I stole a duffle bag of his and I learned his name one day after he first used the gear that's been used to transform." Mari explained to Ichika's childhood friend.
"Why did you give it to Ichika?" Houki asked curiously since it alsmost resemble's an IS.
"Because I couldn't use it." Mari answered. Before Houki could ask more questions, they two arrived at the park where Ichika's currently at and they see Ichika currently reading a JUMP comic while there's… a bunch of delinquents/thugs knocked unconcious, heck a few of them had their heads stuck to the ground, literally. Ichika looked up from his JUMP to see Mari and Houki, with a bit of a surprised face.
"Oh hey guys." Ichika said to them.
"Hey." Mari replied not bothered by the fact that there's a bunch of unconcious thugs. Mari looked to see Houki, pretty much surprised that there's a bunch of thugs.
"If your wondering who did all this; that was me." Ichika lazily told her.
"Seriously!?" Houki exclaimed.
"Seriously." Ichika said noticing the surprised tone in her, no doubt that her own childhood friend as became a street brawler. "Turns out; I was unintentionally tresspassing in their so-called turf. So I beat them up when one of them tried to punch me." he explained to her as if it was normal. Ichika heard an engine sound and looked to see Mari on her bike.
"I'll leave you guys alone." Mari said before riding on her bike away.
"Man she never changes." Ichika sighed before looking at Houki. "So uh, you want me to explain things now?"
"Yeah." Houki nodded.
"Then allow me to help out in explaining." Auto Vajin said which made Houki look around to see where the voice was coming from.
"This big guy said it." Ichika said to Houki while pointing at his bike. Houki looked at the bike wondering how can…
"I can tell on what your thinking." Auto Vajin said sounding like a deadpan tone. The bike then suddenly jumped into the air and it suddenly formed into a humanoid robot.
The robot's form looks human, it has feet with some red ends each, the bikes head is on the right shoulder and the handlebars are on the shoulders. It's arms are black and with some metal on them, it's upper body is silver metal and there's a orand phi symbol with red lines. Finally, it's head is robotic but is human shaped and it has a visor. This is the Auto Vajin's Battle Mode.
"Whoa!" Houki exclaimed in surprise while Ichika's glad that there's no people around.
"Hello there, I am Ichika's motorcycle/partner; the Auto Vajin." the bike introduced as he, because of his male voice, went in front of Ichika while extending his hand to Houki for a handshake. "Nice to meet you." he finished while Houki nervously shaked his hand.
"WOULD YOU QUIT COVERING ME!?" Ichika exclaimed while pushing Auto Vajin away. He took few breaths and looked towards Houki, who looks a bit startled by his reaction. "Sorry, he has a habbit of covering me."
"I do not cover you." Auto Vajin retorted as he jumped and went back into his Vehicle Mode.
"Yes you do!" Ichika exclaimed with his teeth comically sharp and his eyes are white. His teeth and eyes went back to normal when he looked at Houki. "So, you wanted an explanation right?" he asked and Houki nodded. "Alright now where to start…" Ichika wondered while Auto Vajin looked towards the 'screen' and did a signal that said…
"Auther-san, try using the explanation that you used to tell the readers on what Orphnochs are." Auto-Vajin signaled and the 'screen' shook up and down.
"You could tell me what an Orphnoch is…" Houki suggested.
"Alright…" Ichika said before clearing his throat. "Orphnochs are creatures that used to be humans, a person can turn into an Orphnoch if the person has a very strong wish for not dying. Orphnoch's cannot die like all people do, they can only die if they fight to the death, they expand their race by killing random humans although some humans cannot stand the energy that turns them into Orphnochs and instead of turning into them, they come back to life for a few seconds, or minutes if they are strong enough, then turn to gray dust. Most of the Orphnochs are born through natural death while some are born through being murdered my them." he explained and the death part caught Houki by surprise.
"They used to be humans!?" she exclaimed while Ichika walked towards a vending machine to get a drink.
"Yup." Ichika nodded and put a coin in the machine. "You heard of Smart Brain?" he asked and pressed a button.
"Only that it's a worldwide company due to the IS System and other stuff why?" Houki asked as Ichika went towards Houki with a cola and en energy drink.
"The previous CEO; Hanagata, who I never saw in person, created the Faiz Gear, which is my armor." Ichika explained and took Houki by surprise yet again. "The current CEO; Kyoji Murakami, is the Orphnoch's leader." he explained and took a sip of his cola.
"Are you serious!?" Houki asked.
"Serious." Ichika nodded. Before Houki could ask any more questions, the sound of a motorcycle has been heared and Ichika looked to see a bunch of thugish people approaching them and stopped. "Aw come on!" Ichika complained.
"You should be surprised to see us, Faiz." the leader said surprising the two.
"I take it Smart Brain sent you?" Ichika asked retorically.
"You know it." the leader said before turning into the Elephant Orphnoch. "Men!" he ordered and the thugs got out some red belts with an orange buckle with device that has the Smart Brain logo on but it was sticking out of the buckle. They placed them on.
"Henshin!" They all said before pushing the device into the buckle.
"COMPLETE!"
Holographic bronze armor appeared on their chests until a bright light engulfed them. When it faded they were replaced by armored figures. They had black bodysuits, bronze armor, grey circular visors, two fins on their helmets, and a steel mouthpiece. They are the Riotroopers.
"Aw damn…" Ichika sighed before going through his bag and getting his belt out, he placed it on befor pressing 5-5-5 and 'ENTER'.
"STANDING BY!"
"You might want to run." Ichika advised an Houki did what he said. Ichika then raised his right arm in the air.
"Henshin!"
He then placed the Faiz Phone in his belt.
"COMPLETE!"
The red lines took over his body and once they cleared, Faiz took his place.
Faiz flicked his right wrist and grabbed his phone out of his belt and typed down 1-0-6 and 'ENTER'.
"BURST MODE!"
Faiz switched his phone into it's gun form and shot three Riotroopers coming at him, he then shot three more coming at him from the side and then he shot the Elephant Orphnoch coming at him twice. Faiz closed his phone and placed it back into his belt then went to the Auto-Vajin and twisted the left handlebar before pulling it out revealing it to be a silver sword with a red blade called the Faiz Edge. Faiz spun the Edge a bit before blocking attempted slashes from the remaining three Riotroopers, he then pushed their weapons back and slashed them in the chest and slashed the Elephant Orphnoch, who tried to attack him from behind.
Faiz saw the Riotroopers get up, so he placed the Mission Memory in the Faiz Edge.
"READY!"
Faiz then opened his phone and pressed 'ENTER'.
"EXCEED CHARGE!"
The red line 'downloaded' into the sword while the Riotroopers tried to slash Faiz on three sides but Faiz was quick enough to block them and spun around with the Faiz Edge in his hand then striked the Riotroopers in the chest making them explode into blue flames.

Faiz looked towards the Elephant Orphnoch who looks pretty angry.
"Your going to die Faiz and we'll get that belt!" The Elephant Orphnoch exclaimed before he suddenly turned big, which is the size of an actual elephant.
"I prefer to live." Faiz said before 2-7-9 and 'ENTER'.
"CHARGE!"
Faiz then shot the Elephant Orphnoch in the chest three times and it only effected him a little bit. Shrugging it off, the Elephant Orphnoch stomped the ground making Faiz fly away due to the soundwaves. Faiz then quickly pressed 5-8-2-1 and 'ENTER'.
"BATTLE MODE!"
Auto-Vajin then went into battle mode and flew above the Elephant Orphnoch then shot his Shield/Gattling Gun at the Elephant Orpnoch.
(Kamen Rider 555 OST: Dead or Alive)
Faiz took the chance to grab the Faiz Pointer and place it into the Mission Memory.
"READY!"
Faiz then placed the pointer on his right leg and pressed 'ENTER' on his phone.
"EXCEED CHARGE!"
The red line then 'downloaded' into Faiz's right leg, he then ran towards the Elephant Orphnoch and jumped into the air then did a flip and the red cone came out of the Faiz Pointer and it's drill was pointed towards the Elephant Orphnoch. Faiz let out a cry as he got into a side kick position and went into the cone, making it drill into the Orphnoch making him scream in pain. Faiz then appeared behind him and a big hole appeared on the Elephant Orphnoch's body.

(End Song)
The Elephant Orphnoch then exploded into blue flames before turning to dust, Faiz then stood tall as he grabbed his phone and pressed 'END CALL' which made him turn back to Ichika.
"Guess I finished my patrol early." Ichika mused while Houki approached him.
"Are you okay?" Houki asked with some concern.
"Yeah, I've been through worse." Ichika replied stretching his arms. "Hey, Auto."
"Yeah?" Auto-Vajin asked.
"Can you take Houki back to the dorms? And tell her why she's going back alone?" Ichika asked his robot bike.
"Sure thing." Ichika then went up to the robot and pressed the ø button on his chest.
"VEHICLE MODE!"
The Auto-Vajin went back into his bike form and Ichika gave Houki a helmet.
"See you at school tomorrow." Ichika said to her.
"Alright." Houki said before placing the helmet on and Auto-Vajin automatically started moving away from Ichika. He then looked up at the stary night sky before muttering two words.
"I'm tired." Ichika said before walking away from the area.
(Kikuchi Cleaning Service.)
Ichikawalked into the living room of the laundromat and Keitaro is at the table, eating some pizza.
"Oh hey Ikkun." Keitaro said happy to see his friend/employee.
"Hey Keitaro." Ichika greeted as he sat down and grabbed a slice. "Sorry I couldn't make it to work today."
"It's okay." Keitaro assured. "Orphnoch?"
"Orphnoch." Ichika answered. "And a childhood friend happens to be at IS Academy as well and she saw me turn into Faiz last night, so I told her to keep this a secret."
"Really?" Keitaro asked surprised.
"Really." Ichika said before going to the couch to watch some TV, maybe some anime too before going to bed.
A/N: And done! I hoped you liked the story, as well as the opening becuase it's the first one I've written. Oh and for those who are wondering about Makoto, yes he's Makoto Naegi from Danganronpa and I decided to make him a detective because he's great at solving cases. Oh and for those who noticed Mari Sonoda and some mentioning from the original Faiz, think of the "Life in Tokyo" thing but with some IS Elements. Also, I'm gonna make Faiz use the Jet Slinger, but he won't screw it up like in the show.
Bye! And goodnight.
