SHO KASAI: KAMEN RIDER SCADA
It was mid-May 1987. Shinichi was in the park of Okinomiya with Rena. With them was Sho who was inside a baby carriage which Rena was pushing. Shiori had asked them if they could take Sho outside for a bit and the young couple had agreed. While stopping for some ice cream, Shinichi saw an old friend and greeted, "Hey, Satan-chan!"
Satan was wearing her usual uniform but with a proper skirt that came down to her knees. Looking up from the flowers she'd been admiring she greeted back, "Hello yourself." She took note of the baby carriage and curiously walked over to peer inside to see a little baby staring back at her. She blushed a little as she realized how cute the baby was. The baby had short black hair, chubby cheeks, and eyes wide as they stared at her curiously.
Satan asked, "So, who's this?"
Shinichi answered, "My baby bro."
"Isn't he cute?" cooed Rena.
"His name's Sho. Wanna pick him up?"
Satan was surprised by the request as she stared at baby Sho. Satan nodded and picked up the baby and cradled him in her arms. The baby looked up at her and she smiled down at it before she gasped as his pudgy little hands grabbed on and squeezed her chest area.
"Hey!" she exclaimed, surprised.
Shinichi apologized, "Sorry, but he gets a bit grabby." Sho seemed to like grabbing onto women's breasts.
Satan deadpanned, "So, he's no different from you."
Shinichi went defensive, "Hey, I don't grope women!"
Satan retorted cleverly, "Just your girlfriend."
Sho was reaching up to Satan's pale hair, wanting to touch it. Looking down, she smiled before kissing Sho on the forehead gently.
Satan made a promise as she whispered, "When you grow up I'll become your girlfriend."
Satan returned Sho to the carriage before she broke apart into golden butterflies. Shinichi shook his head but smiled nonetheless.
"Sho, you're going to be a hell of a lucky man when you grow up," Shinichi said knowing somehow that Satan and Sho would be good together in the future.
9 Years Later…
Sho was reading one of his brother's books. His black hair was parted in the middle with a single strand that stuck out at the top like his mother and brother's hair. The book was entitled "The Guardians" and it featured the heroes known as Kamen Riders. Shinichi wrote those books under the name S. Sanban.
Even thought his brother was a cop, Shinichi still had time to write and publish his works. They were pretty famous. The best fantasy/adventure series in Japan.
"You know, Slasher's a pretty cool Rider," Sho said, making Shinichi stumble. "Unlike the others, he wields chainsaws as his primary weapon. That just shows he's a badass."
"Umm…anyone else?" Rika asked her younger foster brother as Shinichi stood with an air of depression.
"Well, the 2nd coolest has to be Arachnea. I mean her weapon is cool too. She can wield 8 scythes at once and she can spit webbing and venom like a real spider," Sho said unaware that he was making his older brother slump down further into depression.
"But the greatest has to be Showa," Sho said making Shinichi ears perk. "He wields the Three Legendary Treasures, AND was the first Rider to appear and help the village the longest. If it weren't for him the other Riders wouldn't have become good guys either!"
Rika rolled her eyes as she saw Shinichi grinning. "Don't get a swelled head," she warned playfully.
5 years later, September 2001.
Sho was now a student in Okinomiya Junior High School. At age 14 he turned out to be a pretty good-looking young man. He still lived in Hinamizawa but his parents enrolled him in a junior high school in the neighboring town of Okinomiya. He had friends and a few admirers. Sometimes he had love letters in his locker. However, deep down, he was a closet pervert. He liked to leer at the girls but was able to play innocent. He didn't peep on them changing or stole their underwear. He just undressed them with his eyes.
Sho was with his friends on their way to Angel Mort when he bumped into a girl with pale hair and red eyes...like rubies. She was wearing a red school uniform that was made up of a blazer, vest, white blouse and white tie. She also had on a short mid-thigh length skirt and wore black knee socks. He used a line, "Where have you been all my life?"
"Away from you," the girl answered, making Sho mentally kick himself for using such a cheesy line.
'I should've seen that coming with that lame pick-up line.' Sho then decided on a different tactic. "Okay I deserved that. Let's try again. Hi my name's Sho Kasai." Sho said while holding out his hand. "What's yours?"
The girl nodded as she shook Sho's hand. "I'm Sara. Sara Tanamura."
"Cool! So, do you live around here?" Sho asked.
"Just moved here," Sara answered.
"Ahh, so you're new. Well, relax. You could hang out with me so you won't be scared of a new place and get a heart attack," Sho said and he immediately started kicking himself mentally when the girl narrowed her eyes. 'She's gonna say no!'
"What?"
'Damn, this isn't coming out right!' Sho chuckled nervously. "Never mind! Just forget I said anything. I'm just putting my big foot in my mouth," he responded.
Sighing, Sara mumbled, "No, it's okay. I think I know what you were trying to say. I'm just…well…I'm just kind of touchy. It's part of my nature." She blushed.
'Ka…Kawaii…' Sho said, "It's alright."
"So when do you want to meet?" Sara asked.
"Huh?"
"You said you wanted to give me a tour of Okinomiya. So when do you wanna meet?"
Not believing his luck he answered, "How about tomorrow at twelve?"
"Sounds like a date," Sara grinned as she begin walking away.
"YOSH!" Sho cheered. "I GOT A DATE!!!" He threw his arms up in celebration. "YAHOO! YATTA! HALLELUJAH!"
His friends just stared at him.
"Long time no see, huh?" Sara peered over to see a cop on motorcycle stopping next to her. He flipped his visor up to reveal himself as Shinichi Banabara.
"What do you want?" she asked sternly.
"I saw you." Shinichi said, "So, you're finally doing what you promised." He's was in a police uniform and on his motorbike as he saw her on the sidewalk.
Sara answered, "I am. As perverted as he is he grew up to be a pretty decent guy."
Shinichi stated, "And I made sure he got a normal life. Something I never had a chance to experience. Take care of him."
"I will. I won't let what happened to you to happen to him."
"Very well, I trust you, I wish you good luck Satan-chan," Shinichi said. He then drove off.
(Sara Tanamura: Satan)
So Sho, what is your favorite season?" Sara asked as the both walked the streets of Okinomiya
"That's easy. It has to be spring," he answered, smiling. "It's the time for things to begin after all. I was born in spring too."
"Ah I see" Sara said. Some boys who were strolling along took a look at Satan and whistled.
"Hey, stop that!" Sho snapped at them, making Sara roll her eyes but smile
It amused Sara the way that Sho pushed away other men and glowered at them when they looked at her. She repressed a chuckle of amusement, 'He may be perverted like Shinichi but he got that Kasai's seriousness and their protectiveness,' she inwardly mused
"So where are we going?" she asked making Sho snap to attention.
"Well…let's see. It's still too early for the movie. What do you want to do?" Sho asked. He recalled the rules his brothers gave him about dating.
"Are you sure I really need this, Oniisan?" Sho asked Shinichi.
"Trust me. I am an expert at this," Shinichi answered smiling.
"But you only dated one girl," Sho pointed out, referring to his big brother's wife.
"Quiet you!" Shinichi snapped. "The teacher is talking!" He cleared his throat and began his lesson.
"Rule #1: If her parents are the kind whom you have to meet before taking their daughter out, don't embarrass yourself in any way. Just be polite, calm, answer their questions honestly. Just don't piss off her dad, especially if he's not afraid to use his daughter's cleaver."
"Speaking from experience?" Sho said amusedly. Shinichi ignored him and continued.
"Rule #2: Have fun. Go to the movies, a restaurant, a carnival or even an arcade. Just make sure both of you have a great time. Don't be afraid to ask where she wants to go, and make sure that it is not being run by some weirdo if you decided to go to a carnival."
Sho gave his brother and odd look at that.
"Rule #3: This is simple but still important. It is to keep her safe. It you care for her, you mustn't let anything bad happen to her."
"That... makes perfectly good sense," Sho said.
"And finally, Rule #4: This applies when you're already in a serious relationship. Talk if there's a problem between the two of you. Just don't assume something because there's a good chance you could be wrong about that." Shinichi asked, "Any questions or opinions?"
"Okay, despite the first two being a bit ridiculous, I must say they all make perfect sense. Thanks, Oniisan."
"Anytime."
"H-hey!" Sara said pointing. Sho followed her gaze to see an ice cream truck. "Can you get me some?"
"If that what you wish for Milady," Sho said, doing a theatrical bow.
"B-baka! Stop embarrassing me!" Sara yelled, thwacking him on the head but still smiling.
"Gomen" Sho then went to get the ice cream as Sara watched. He came back with a chocolate cone in one hand, and a vanilla cone in the other.
"A vanilla for you and one chocolate for me," Sho said handing her the ice cream.
"Thanks," Sara said as both sat down and began eating their ice cream in the park.
Sho wrapped an arm around Satan's shoulders. She tensed but began to relax into the embrace. Feeling mischievous, she stole a quick bite of the chocolate ice cream hovering in front of her nose.
"Inexcusable," Sho said sullenly
"Yeah, well that's what you get for holding it so close in front of me," Satan said as she stuck her tongue out to him, but Sho suddenly pecked her quickly on the cheek. "O-OI!?" She was blushing beet red.
"Consider that payback for you stealing a bit of my ice-cream," Sho said, smirking.
Sara glared at him but he simply laughed. "I'll get you for that later," she warned.
"You look cute when you're angry," he told her.
"Shut up!"
"Maybe next time I can kiss you on the lips."
Sara nearly dropped her ice cream when she heard that.
"Here's your target," said Warren as he handed Shinichi a picture of a man. Warren was on the sidewalk while Shinichi was on his bike.
"A dimensional criminal, huh?" He man in the picture round orange eyes and a wide chest build. His skin was ruddy. He also has a wide forehead and small feet. He wore a worn out hat with a sweater, slacks and black shoes.
"Yep, his name is Frederico Dread. He is charged with several counts of mass homicide and vandalism. Be careful, he can project strange rays as weapons," Warren explained.
"Gotcha." Shinichi said, putting on his helmet.
Sho whistled as he headed home. His date had ended when Sara had to get home. Nothing had gone wrong. He couldn't wait to tell his big brother. He accidentally bumped into someone and quickly apologized.
"Are you related to Shinichi Banabara?" the man asked.
"Who wants to know?" Sho asked, eyeing the man suspiciously.
"The name's Frederico and I'm doing this to make your brother suffer!" The man grinned. He raised his arm and suddenly fired a heat ray at Sho.
"WAH!" Sho screamed as he rolled away in fright. "Oi, what's with that attack and what do you want with my brother!?"
"They haven't told you?" Frederico quirked his eyebrow
"Told me what?"
"Oh you poor little bastard. You're going to die because you have no idea of what your brother's other job is," Frederico said mockingly. He immediately fired multiple green rays at Sho.
Sho cowered and squeezed his eyes shut. When the pain didn't come, Sho opened his eyes his eyes to see what was hapening and gasped as he saw the figure standing before him with his back facing him. "Kamen…Rider…" Sho uttered in disbelief. Judging by the camouflage armor over the black bodysuit, it had to be Scada!
"Tch, he showed up too soon," Frederico sneered.
"Frederica Dread, you are under arrest for your heinous crimes," Scada said, inwardly seething at the guy for attacking his brother.
"Oh, and you think you can take me on?" Frederico asked, still sneering
"Of course," Scada answered calmly. "I mean you're just some a 2nd rate criminal after all."
"SECOND RATE!?" Frederico snarled. He shot his heat ray at Scada but the Rider dodged the attack. Scada then rushed towards Frederico before slamming his left fist in his jaw. As his body twisted, Scada buried his other fist into his gut forcing the criminal meta-human's body to skid backwards.
"A-amazing," Sho said as he watched the fight. He had to take a picture of this!
"Had enough?" Scada asked. He tensed as all he heard was laughter coming from Frederico. "What's so funny?"
"You think that will stop me? HA!" Frederico laughed as he opened his fist and fired a large purple blast.
"ARGH!" Scada screamed as he got hit and was sent backward before hitting a tree.
"Take this!" Frederico yelled, firing his smaller green multi-rays. Scade dodge to the side but one of the beams managed to hit his belt and send it flying off.
"Crud!" Scada cursed as he was forcefully reverted back to Shinichi.
"Oniisan!?" Sho yelled in shock. His brother was a Kamen Rider! He then noticed the Scada buckle had landed next to him. He picked it up and began to inspect the device.
"Ha! Got you now!" Frederico smiled darkly as he walked towards Shinichi.
"Damn!" Shinichi muttered. He was ready to transform into Showa when suddenly...
"HOLD IT!" both turned to see Sho strapping the Scada Buckle on "Leave my Oniisan alone!"
"Sho!?" Shinichi's eyes went wide as he saw the Scada Buckle fastened around his little brother's waist. "What do you think you're doing!?"
"To be honest, I have no idea," Sho answered. "But, Oniisan, you have a lot of questions to answer after this." He took hold of the ripcord. He knew how the Scada Buckle worked. It was just like how it was described in his brother's books. "Hen…Shin!" He pulled the cord as hard as he could before releasing it, causing the fan in the belt to spin and activate the transformation. There was a blinding light as the energy wrapped around Sho, solidifying into a black bodysuit with camouflage armor on his chest, forearms and shins. A helmet with the same color-scheme as the armor formed over his head. It sported a pair of blue eyes, short antennae, and a faceplate that was colored light green.
Sho Kasai had just transformed into Kamen Rider Scada!
Shinichi's worst fear had come true. From now on his little brother would no longer have a normal life. Realizing that there was no use in keeping this a secret he transformed as well. "GX Henshin!"
Scada stared as he saw his brother assume the form of Kamen Rider Showa GX. His jaw dropped.
"I'll explain later," said Showa, "But right now we have a villain to beat. Are you with me, little brother?"
Scada gave a nod before they both turned their attention towards Frederico. The criminal shot heat rays at them but they managed to leap out of the way. The meta-human then changed tactics and fired multiple rays at them but the double Riders were able to avoid them.
The two Riders were running in circles around Frederico as he fired at them. He still missed despite them being so close in range. Something was wrong here, and he knew it!
The two Riders then struck, Scada kicking Frederico in the back and Showa punching the man across the face. Then the two slammed their palms into his gut, sending him reeling. He fired an explosive blast of energy at their feet, propelling them into the air, but it only served their purpose as they performed a tuck roll in order to execute their signature move…
"RIDER DOUBKE KICK!!!" Scada and Showa crashed into Frederico with their kicks, KO'ing him in an instant as he crashed straight into the wall. Showa jogged over to where Frederico's body lay and stared down at the unconscious criminal before he slapped the special power nullifying cuffs on Frederico's wrists.
"You are under arrest!" Showa declared.
After Frederico was teleported to ARMOR, Sho and Shinichi reverted back to human form.
"When?" Sho asked. He'd taken off the Scada Buckle but kept it in his jacket.
"When what?" Shinichi answered, trying to avoid the subject.
"Don't play dumb, Oniisan. When were you going to tell me you were a Kamen Rider?"
"Truthfully, never," Shinichi answered.
"Why!?" Sho said
Sighing, Shinichi told him, "Because I never wanted to expose you to the danger of it all." He didn't want to lose his brother because of his job as a Rider.
"Who else knows? Does Mom know? Does Rena-neesan know?" Sho asked, "And who were the other Riders? You're obviously one of the originals but who are the others?"
"First off, the only ones who do know are Kaa-chan, Otousan, Rika, Hanyuu and all my friends from the Gaming Club when I was in school. As for your second question…I can't tell you that."
"Why did you all keep this from me?" Sho asked. How could his family keep such a secret from him?
"Because, Sho, all we wanted was for you to have a normal life," Shinichi told him. "We didn't do it to be mean. You just weren't meant to know, that's all."
