OP Insert Song:
Kamen Rider BLACK (Female Version) · Vocapanda
Start:
In Tenguu City, there was a famous idol that people loved and admired. This idol was now seen on every screen from every corner of Tenguu City, and the people would grow excited to see the famous Diva of Tenguu City about to perform once again.
A young woman between the age of 16 and 17, with long bluish-purple hair in a hime cut with a black-dark green Astrantia flower hair clip with an RX symbol for this special occasion, while her eyes sparkle like silvery oceans and with skin as white as snow. She was wearing an idol dress that was predominantly black with dark green ruffles covering some parts of it, along with silver high-heel shoes. She was smiling as she waved her hand first towards the audience as she would begin to sing a song dedicated to everyone's favorite hero—Kamen Rider Black RX, who to her personally was her savior and dearly important person who inspires her to be better just like everyone else who was inspired by this masked avenger of the light.
Her name is Miku Izayoi—The Diva of Tenguu City.
And this is her special song for her darling.
Toki wo koero
Sora wo kakero
Kono hoshi no tame
Go beyond time,
Run through the skies
For this planet!
A voice unlike any other was heard, one that was feminine yet strong, one whose voice echoed encouraging memories
And then, the audience would cheer on. From inside the large stadium, there were crowds of people numbering in the thousands who have their cyalume glow sticks and are commonly waving them as they participate with vigor in their bones and in their hearts. Even those outside like the average civilians on the streets would cheer on. Even those who are in their homes watching the concert would cheer on and smile.
"Oh?" Kotori Itsuka would look at the television screen that sees a familiar face, Miku Izayoi, now performing a song that was no doubt dedicated to her brother. She would smile as the song would cheer her up a bit.
And from various locations throughout Tenguu City, there were various other women who were watching the live performance who have a connection with Shidou Itsuka—Kamen Rider Black RX.
Origami Tobiichi, a young woman between 16 and 17, with long silvery-white hair, wearing a white collar shirt with a blue ribbon on the center of the collar, a dark blue jacket, a light blue long skirt, and black shoes, with a black handbag being carried on her right shoulder and a special black-dark green wristwatch on her left wrist, was watching Miku's performance on a city street with a smile as she remembers clearly of the many memories that she had made with her best friend and Kamen Rider whose song is being dedicated too. She would also notice many individuals who were beside her from both directions who were cheering loudly and energetically at this performance, contributing more to her smile.
Somewhere near a few blocks from the Itsuka Residence, there was a simple flower shop just nearby called Yoshinon's Sunshine Express where the flower shop owner, Yoshino Himekawa, a woman between the age of 39 and 40, with long blue hair tied to a ponytail style with the use of a yellow hair tie. She was wearing a white shirt covered with a green florist apron that has the image of a rabbit on the left side of her chest. She was also wearing blue jeans and brown shoes. She had what appeared to be a mischievous white rabbit puppet with an eyepatch that was worn on her left hand, and it seem to be rather excited as it watched the performance. One would call this puppet as Yoshinon, the same puppet that her mother used to give to her.
Yoshino was not alone in watching the performance as a young woman with emerald-colored twin-tailed hair and eyes, between the age of 16 and 17, wearing a simple white-dark violet dress with a red ribbon on the center of her collar, and wearing black shoes. Her name was Natsumi Kyouno and she was seated on a tall chair, cheering with all of her heart, with both hands waving.
And then, there was a passing visitor who had just entered the shop, just in time to see the live performance. She would smile just like the rest of the girls. A young woman between the age of 16 and 17, with long orange hair, mercury blue eyes, and moderate busty features, wearing a grey shirt and orange skirt, with brown shoes. All in all, she looked like a model. Her name is Yamai Kazamachi and she was leaning on the cashier table and watches with interest.
All of them, along with of course the puppet Yoshinon as it was obligatory to mention, would remember the young Kamen Rider who had come into their lives and made their lives more brighter.
Somewhere in a simple household, there were two sisters who were watching the performance of one Miku Izaoyi. They were both sitting beside the couch and smiled as familiar memories of the young Kamen Rider would fill their minds, with feelings of gratitude common to both of them.
A young woman in her 20s, with long straightened hair that reaches up to her shoulders, wearing oval-shaped earrings. She was also wearing a white shirt and a brown skirt. Her name is Asahi Hoshimiya.
A young woman somewhere between the age of 16 and 17, one that has a voluptuous figure, possessing a bust considered disproportionately large for her physical age. She has golden eyes matched with flowing blonde hair longer than her own body. She ties her hair together in an Odango hairstyle, and wears ribbons around the buns. She wears a white shirt with black straps on both sides connecting to the black skirt, with a black ribbon on the center of the collar. She also wears stylized socks and black shoes. Her name is Mukuro Hoshimiya.
There was a mansion just another few blocks away from the Itsuka Residence. An elegant woman in her 40s, wearing a monotone black Gothic Lolita dress and black shoes, carrying a tea cup and sipping it with a smile of satisfaction. She was watching the live performance of Miku Izayoi with interest, remembering a certain Kamen Rider that caught her eye.
Her name is Kurumi Tokisaki.
"My, my, how the times have flown by, don't you think so?" She muttered with a reminiscent smile before looking towards someone who was watching the same performance as her, sitting on a chair with a working table that has papers, one of which has the image of Kamen Rider Black before he became RX.
The woman was a woman in her late forties, somewhere between 45 and 47 years of age, wearing a dark black sweater and blue jeans, with black shoes. Her name was Nia Honjou. And she simply smiled knowingly at Kurumi's comment.
Kimi wa mita ka ai ga
Makka ni moeru no wo

Did you see, as this love
Turned in a crimson blaze
In the depths of darkness,
A dangerous trap awaits
For those who believe in justice
The king of all truth
To keep on dreaming
That's my fantasy
I love being alive
In this blue cosmos
Unbeknownst to everyone, there was also a battle that was happening right now somewhere in one of the suburban areas somewhere on the hill slope.
Rinne Sonogami, a young woman and mother who was holding on to her daughter very protectively, did not know what to do with this situation. In fact, she was at a lost because everything seem to be happening so fast without knowing the full context.
One should start with the beginning. For some strange reason, a few minutes ago, she and her daughter, by the time they had awakened from their slumber on the ground, noticed by instinct that something was wrong. They felt that their powers as Spirits could no longer be accessed as if they were never there. A certain part of them was just...gone.
Just as they tried to think of what to do next, they would suddenly hear the sound of a motorcycle and turn around. They found Shidou Itsuka driving said motorcycle and was now taking off his helmet, showing his face that looked conflicted before almost about to shed tears. They can instinctively tell that it was truly Shidou Itsuka, the young man who was very important to them. And because of that, they notice something. It was his amber-brown eyes that showed something far too different. The tears that were leaking and the distraught that he showed. He was not loud but was crying softly. He embraced Rio and gently touched Rinne's cheek, as if he was truly happy to see them after all this time.
There was no need to say anything. They just know somehow that it had been far too long since he last saw them. Seeing Shidou saddened wasn't new, but something told them that this was far from what they were familiar with. And then, in those same eyes, it felt like they were seeing someone who looked a lot older than what they were used to seeing. This was no ordinary high school student anymore, a thought somehow inserted into their minds that made both Rinne and Rio subtly troubled which would slightly show from their expressions.
How much time did it pass for Shidou Itsuka?
That silent question made them shudder.
And then, they were suddenly under attack by an unknown humanoid creature with golden armor and golden dove-like wings whose helmet made his face completely invisible and his entire appearance made him look like a Roman centurion of old. The winged humanoid called Shidou Itsuka the Century King Black Sun, a title that was very unfamiliar to Rinne and Rio. After a brief argument that revolves around the complications regarding the existence of Rinne Sonogami and Rio Sonogami to the timeline, Shidou would suddenly make a few poses that reminded them of something straight out of a tokusatsu before suddenly becoming a henshin hero, declaring himself as Kamen Rider Black RX. The winged humanoid in turn would introduce himself as a "Lord of the Matthean Host" and that it would be an honor to fight Shidou, speaking of tales regarding his heroics.
What was he saying? Rinne thought to herself out of worry. Just by looking at Black RX, she felt something...talking to her?! And it was talking through her mind, forming a kind of mental connection, if briefly, and it was as quick as a flash.
"Listen and listen well, Sonogami Rinne—Spirit of Eden. Itsuka Shidou, the man that you hold special feelings for, has been chosen as the Child of the Sun, Kamen Rider Black RX! Since you have last seen him, he had fought against the darkness of this universe and beyond it, one that had taken many shapes and forms. The life-gaining energy of the sun is within him, and as you know, the sun's rays shine on everyone, showing the love of the universe that gives life to all living things, no matter who you are, human or another. Since becoming the Child of the Sun, Kamen Rider Black RX, he is forever destined to fight and defend the Earth from the darkness, no matter shape or form it takes, fighting in the eternal conflict between light and darkness."
There was something...alive within Black RX, something that she felt was a power unlike anything that she had ever felt before even as a Spirit, one that shone like the bright hopeful sun. When this voice told her of these things, she worried greatly. Destined to protect the Earth and fight evil as some kind of warrior of light? This was definitely sounding like something straight out of a tokusatsu show.
"As the Child of the Sun, Kamen Rider Black RX, he had been given tremendous and terrifying power that allows him such adaptability and flexibility that would stun even the most powerful of foes from the high heavens up to those who live in the shadows of mankind. Humans and all manner of creatures look at him and see humanity's champion which proves its inner strength. And...he has proven time and time again that he would not let the power corrupt him, but he would use it to the best of his ability to protect everyone around him, no matter the cause. I speak to you now, for I am the Kingstone, the soul of Itsuka Shidou, and I wish to entrust him to your care. He would need you and your daughter in the days to come."
And afterward, the mental link would case. This conversation was only heard by her and no one else it appears as Black RX was still focused on the winged humanoid and Rio was focusing on her father. Rio's eyes were twinkling with feelings of child-like admiration.
Toki wo koero
Sora wo kakero
Kono hoshi no tame
Atsuku moyase
Namida nagase
Asu to iu hi ni
Kamen Raidā BLACK!
Kamen Raidā BLACK!
Go beyond time,
Run through the skies
For this planet!
Burn it, white tight,
Shedding tears
For all our tomorrows
Kamen Rider Black!
Kamen Rider Black!
And now, she would notice the winged humanoid suddenly appearing and raising his spear, but Black RX managed to intercept it, blocking its path with what appeared to be a flashing sword that was emitting colors of white and blue interchangeably while of course raising his defensive, calculated pose that would make absolutely sure that the enemy would not pass through him to get to either Rinne and Rio.
"Revolcane!" Black RX exclaimed as he twisted it with grace.
They would see Black RX twist the blade as he block the spear attacks that were being sent to him with a hard and soft thrust through the upper and downward directions. Eventually, Black RX would kick the shield that the enemy was holding away from him and then the winged abomination was suddenly thrown a few meters away to the sky before using his wings to stop his tracks. However, he was suddenly psychically pushed away as Black RX concentrates mentally, raising his right hand.
"Ridoron!" Black RX eventually exclaims while dematerializing the blade. Lo and behold, there was an advanced retro red car, one of his personal vehicles besides the Acrobatter, that suddenly appeared out of nowhere by a flash and automatically opened its hatch to reveal sophisticated controls and buttons from every corner, especially the front.
"...!" Both Rinne and Rio were surprised to see the car suddenly turning up. Then they felt Black RX leading them into the car. While heading inside, both Rinne and Rio can see Acrobatter, having gone into its default mode and shown its true form which was a bike with two antennas on front, with red eyes that were now blinking like emergency lights, with dark blue colors on the front and light blue colors on the back. It has yellow and white colors as well, along with the RX symbol found on both sides.
"You two," Black RX's voice would make the two focus back at him. "No matter what happens, stay here, Ridoron will keep an eye on you in the meantime."
Before Rinne can voice any concerns, Black RX would continue to explain. "See those scanners on the front," He pointed at the screens that were now appearing, showcasing Black RX's image. "It will allow you to monitor where I am so you do not have to worry much for me. Please, I beg you both, stay here! I promise that I will answer everything you have to ask me about to the best of my ability, but please stay here, please!"
Never before have the Sonogamis seen this kind of desperation in Shidou Itsuka's voice. He was not just asking for them to trust him on what needed to be done, but that they need to stay in the car, for their preferred safety, even with the added promise that he will explain everything later. He was very worried for them, as if he can just somehow tell that something bad may happen to them.
Rinne, not having much choice, with anxiety still in her heart, relented with a nod, showing an expression of concern. She would touch Black RX's face with her hand. "Alright, we'll stay, but please be careful, Shidou."
"Umm, I will," Black RX nodded. Then he would step back a few meters. "Ridoron, take care of them."
And much to the surprise of the Sonogamis, the car would speak. "I will take care of them, Shidou, do not worry."
Black RX was satisfied. Then he would see the hatch door of the car close as it suddenly vanished, teleporting to a much safer position, easing his worries considerably. Then he would begin to hop into the Acrobattter and exclaim. "Ikuzo, Acrobatter!"
"Ah," The bike responded.
Kuroku hikaru Bōdi
Hāto ni chi ga kayou
Kaze ga hakobu uta ni
Kimochi ga futo yureru
Shihai shitagaru Magician
Ayashige na Esper
Tatakau toki wa Soldier
Ore no hokori sa
Kono chikyuu ga suki sa
Kokoro yurushita tomo
My body is of a bright black
And blood runs through my heart
In this song carried by the wind
I have a sudden swaying feeling
Magicians who wish to rule over us
Suspicious Espers
When it's time to fight, I am a soldier
And this is my pride
What I love is this Earth
And the friends I confide from my heart
Then he would begin to squeeze the handles with swift determination and the bike would press forward over 500 km/h automatically, passing through multiple streets. As he tried to prepare himself for the return of his eventual foe, he would use this time for quick thinking. As much as a part of him wanted nothing more than to destroy the thing that had just tried to kill his family, he would need answers, so as much as possible, there would need to be the option to capture his opponent for information. He was literally dealing with a new threat here, something he was not familiar with, and he had seen more of his fair share of enemies besides his main enemies, Gorgom and the Crisis Empire.
He can remember the times he fought against actual Fallen Angels, one of the Three Factions whose race fell from grace due to having "impure thoughts" that divert them from the teachings of the God of the Bible. He fought against the Crimson Denizens, beings from another realm called the Crimson Realm, trying to consume the Power of Existence in order to manifest themselves into this world, and as a consequence, making the victims cease to be and be unremembered. He fought against the Horrors, demon-like creatures that originate from the Makai Realm and feed on humans once they crossover, able to escape to Earth when a person accumulates enough darkness to create an Inga Gate from which they exit and possess the person. And he's fought a lot.
The question is...which one was he dealing with right now...?
A sense was tingling in his head. He would suddenly jump upward from his bike and he would twist his body movements in order to dodge the incoming speed attack from this golden armored warrior whose wings were clearly seen to fly, before eventually landing back into his bike.
There was a question in his line of thought. Was it an angel then? If so, it was not the kind of angel he was familiar with. There was a clue that made him pay attention, which was when the creature introduced himself as a "Lord of the Matthean Host". So he can guess that this being could be some kind of angelic creature, but he never heard of Heaven, one of the Three Factions, having a Matthean Host. Plus, there was something odd about what he said. That he thinks that Rinne and Rio are anathemas to the timeline and they need to be taken care of, much to his subtle anger. So could this creature be a kind of guardian or enforcer of the timeline of the universe then? Not like he had not heard of such creatures before when knowing about the Multiverse, but he had never met this kind of guardian/enforcer before. He would need to try to find a way to capture him and bring him straight to someone he knows would help in this situation.
Towa ni mamore

He would speed up his bike as it went faster like a blur, zigzagging from road to road of the hill slope suburban areas. He had a good feeling that the golden warrior was following him just fine. And the proof was when Black RX would glance to his back to see his enemy flying at full speed. He would see his enemy materialize multiple golden spears that would be hurled against him, but the shields would prevent the spears from coming close to the target.
Much to Black RX's relief, there was a place bereft of any form of life that could be a potential collateral. With a hard stop, he would twist his bike before eventually jumping and twisting his body movements, landing on a sidewalk of an empty park and making a firm stance, with his right hand raised and his left hand placed to the side. The winged armored figure would now begin to summon multiple golden blades in circular formation before being hurled at him, only for all of them to be blocked by Revolcane before Black RX stepped to the right side and lightly sliced the golden figure, creating a bunch of sparks and managed to send it crashing to the ground.
Of course, it was far from easy as the Matthean Lord, as Black RX would attempt to shorten the name in his mind, would move once again to the side as he sees his enemy face to face. And then, the Matthean Lord would use his shield to form an energy barrier that would be hurled against Black RX, only for the latter to backhand it away and would eventually block the sword that was aimed at his left shoulder.
Both opponents have a firm grip on their swords. And then, they would suddenly become so fast that the human eye could not keep up. Multiple sparks fly as the two combatants would take to the air and fight with their fists and respective weapons. Then Black RX would suddenly appear behind the Matthean Lore who realized too late by the time he was suddenly shot by a gun, before getting barraged by more solar blaster fire, managing to make him feel pain.

Black RX had transformed into another one of his forms. Roborider, a form that had a black bodysuit with yellow-orange coloring, along with red eyes, holding the Vortech Shooter in his right hand. And then, he would transform into another form. Biorider, a form that had a blue bodysuit with black, red, and silver coloring, along with red eyes, holding the Bio Blade as he begins to turn into gel, with a speed that would encircle his opponent and trap him in very sticky gel, tying the enemy up. Biorider turns back into physical form and would begin to punch the Matthean Lord several times through many weak points, through the head, the torso, and every other hit point, until the finale...
"Rider...Punch!" Biorider would perform a Rider Punch with his right hand that would have very high solar energy that would knock the opponent out as the Matthean Lord would be sent straight through a tree branch and getting knocked out for good measure, but not explode as always when it comes to fights like this since Shidou Itsuka needs this enemy alive for now and he would probably need to bring it straight to the someone that he had been thinking of, and probably bring Rinne and Rio along for the ride.
Biorider, transforming back into Black RX, would kneel down in order to check if his enemy is unconscious. it seem to be that way so far, but he preferred to be safer than sorry.

Somewhere in the Ridoron, both Rinne Sonogami and Rio Sonogami would be in awe at what they just saw. They just saw Black RX managing to defeat his opponent to the point of unconsciousness, with no need to kill it. The battle seemed to be over for now, much to Rinne's relief. At the same time, she worries if only because she recalled the mental conversation that she had just experienced recently.
Just what in the world is going on? She thought.
Summoning Spirit powers is one thing, and that she can remember. But outright transforming into a henshin hero straight out of some tokusatsu was a new one. And this contributes to her anxiety because she felt, just based on observations, that Shidou Itsuka had been fighting for a while, enough to become a fully-fledged combat veteran. If that were so, what had happened since the last time she and Rio saw him, and how much had he changed during that time? And where were the others? Where was Tohka Yatogami? Where was Origami Tobiichi? Where was Kurumi Tokisaki? Where was everyone?
She just had a terrible feeling that something was very wrong and that she needed to find out why.
What was the reason behind Shidou Itsuka's hidden sorrow?
End:
There was a knock on the front door. It would open, revealing a tall man somewhere in his twenties to his thirties, with black hair with grey lines on the side, along with a black goatee with greyish features. He was wearing a knee-length dark blue blazer with a lighter blue dress shirt, a black waist coat, and a red tie. He also wore faded-purple slacks and black dress shoes. Overall, he looked like a scientist.
His expression was a serious one. It was because he had suddenly been called by Shidou Itsuka on the phone in order to deliver a prisoner that he had recently been fighting and had easily succeeded in knocking this prisoner out, unsurprising for the man.
Most people in the know knew him as Azazel, Leader of the Fallen Angels. But a long time ago, he had taken a different name, Roku Takayama, and preferred that he would be addressed as this whenever something of the normal sphere is concerned, plus the need to blend in and not suddenly announces himself. He doesn't really do that kind of stuff and couldn't be bothered by the public eye. It has more than enough trouble as it is.
He would see Shidou Itsuka, with a grim expression on his face, along with two young ladies beside him. One was someone with light pink hair (Rinne) who seem to be the same age as Shidou while the other was a girl with long plum hair, way too young, and was holding onto Shidou as if...he were his papa...
"("...Oh dear. I knew that what Shidou would bring here was bad but I was not anticipating the arrival of impossibilities standing right in front of me.")" He thought.
Like Shidou Itsuka, Azazel was the only survivor of his native reality due to the cosmic conflict that must never be repeated again. Elements of Azazel's universe have been inserted into this one, and since then, considers this world to be as approximately close to home as possible, minus the "new additions", which meant a lot of paperwork.
Something told him that he is going to be very busy for a while.
