Drive A Live
Narrator: The end of the world might come before anyone might know what hit them. Scientists predict that it won't until many years later, but, if one looked at it differently, it could happen in a single day and a single night.
It was a normal day in the city of Eurasia. Cars were driving on the streets, horns honking here and there. On the side walks, people were coming out of restaurants or stores as the people talked to one another. The skies were a nice blue color as clouds traveled around. But then, that all changed in an instant when the air itself began to distort, winds blew, and the people were all wonder what the hell was going on!? They got their answer in an instant when a light appeared above the city before an enormous explosion took place, wiping out the entire city along with it's people.
Narrator: A Space Quake. That's what this is called. An enormous Space Quake appeared and struck central Eurasia, resulting in an unprecedented amount of one hundred and fifty million deaths. That was twenty-five years ago. Since then, smaller Space Quakes have been appearing all around the world on an irregular basis. But we're not here to talk about that. We're here to talk about my story... which began five years ago.
The scene could have been hell itself. People were screaming, fires were everyone, old ones burning buildings and people while new ones erupted from time to time. The cause for this was obviously a Space Quake, but all of this was what's happening after the quake as the most strangest this was happening. The people...were moving very slowly. It's as if tons of weight were stuck on them as gravity increased.
Narrator: Five years ago, the world experienced a sudden stop in time itself. It's as if the essence of time itself had slowed down and stopped. Millions of lives were lost, both friends and families died that single night. This phenomenon was dubbed a Slowdown, and the event became known as the Global Freeze, the day that time itself stopped. I'm one of the lucky ones to have survived that night, but that doesn't mean the people I cared about were the same. I had almost lost my entire family. It didn't help that I can barely remember that night to begin with. But, there were four things I remember, the forth being blurry.
The first was fire.
The second were screams.
The third was death.
And finally, and don't laugh at this, it was the image of...a car themed warrior.
"Hey, Belt-san."
"Hm?"
"Are you seeing what I'm seeing?"
"If you're talking about Origami geared up like those armored girls in those shows you watched fighting another girl that appeared from the Space Quake...then yes, I am seeing the exact same thing you are Haru."
"Oh good. Then I'm not going crazy." I said as I watched my classmate/co-worker draw out a beam saber and began a sword fight with the girl in armor. I thought shit like this only happens in anime. "We got to stop this! They'll be killed at this rate!"
"You can't Haru! Rushing in there without a plan will only get you killed instead!"
"Then what do you suppose we do!?" I asked the talking belt around my waist. If I don't do something fast, one of them might be killed, or worse!
Suddenly, the world around me got a lot slower as well as the two girls in front of me as they were meeting for another clash of swords in slow motion.
"What...is...this..." The girl that appeared from the Space Quake managed to say.
"Slow...down..." Origami said, her teeth gritted.
'A Slowdown!' I thought the same thing as Tobiichi. 'But how!? A Slowdown hasn't appeared since the Global Freeze!'
"Hehe, finally, perfect individuals."
Trying my best, I turned my head and saw something I did not expect.
It was some kind of mechanoid. It was humanoid, but it also resembled an android as the most eye catching this was that its head resembled a cobra.
'What the hell!? What is that!?' I thought as the android walked towards the girls.
"What in the world!?" It seems Belt-san was having the same thoughts as I.
"Hmm...Yes, you two have very good bodies and looks. I'm having a tough time deciding which one of you I should take."
"What...are...you..." The girl in armored asked.
"I am a being that far surpasses those filthy humans! Although, I have no idea what you are. You have the appearance of a human, but you appeared when that Space Quake hit plus you wiped out those pesky AST goons. Hmm...I think I'll take you. You are way too interesting to pass up."
'Shit! I don't know what that thing wants, but I got to stop it!' I thought as I struggled to move. 'But my body feels so slow. If only I could move normally!'
Suddenly, as if answering my calls, the sounds of honking horns were heard as three streaks of light, orange, green, and purple appeared and headed towards the android.
"Nani!?" The android backed away from the girls and tried to swat away whatever the streaks of light were.
Then, the orange light suddenly bursts into flames and slammed itself into the robot, sending it flying where the green light was waiting, producing spikes as the robot landed his butt on the spikes, making it yell in pain, holding his bottom. Finally, the purple light honked before it started shooting shurikens at it, sending it stumbling back.
"What in the world are those?" Your guess is as good as mine.
Finally, the streaks of light came back to me and stopped, giving me a chance to see that they were...mini-toy cars? The fuck?
"Toy...cars..." Suddenly, I was assaulted with a headache and I don't know if it was my imagination, but I could have sworn I also heard Belt-san yell in pain. Then suddenly, images flashed through my mind of some car themed warrior as one phase stood out.
-DRIVE! TYPE: SPEED!-
The headaches ended there as I gasped in pain, falling to my knees. What was that-wait a minute. I-I can move! I can move normally! What's going on!?
A honk from my shoulder caught my attention. On my shoulder was another one of those mini-toy cars, this one looking red race car and strangling looking a bit like my car. Is the reason why I'm moving at normal speed?
"Just what in the world you guys? I couldn't help, but ask.
"Shift Cars."
"Huh?"
"Their name, it just...came to me."
I was confused. How does a name just come to someone, especially someone like Belt-san who's a freakin' belt!?
"You..." I turned my attention towards the android who was now glaring at me...I think. "Those Shift Cars, that belt, it can't be...Are you...Drive!?"
"Drive?" What in the world did that thing mean?
Suddenly, more images appeared in my head, minus the was someone in a business suit, doing some kind of transformation sequence, but it ended before it could finish.
'What was that?'
"Haru! Look out!" I looked up just in time to see the android fire red balls of energy heading towards me! And because I was so focused on the images, I failed to react quickly enough as the balls exploded, sending me flying.
"Haru..." Origami said, the Slowdown preventing her from helping.
"Haru, are you alright!?"
"Oh just peachy!" I said sarcastically, getting up despite the pain from being sent flying, facing the android.
'Why? My legs were shaking when I saw that girl appear out of no where, saw Origami in that mecha suit, and this thing, but now, I feel braver, resolved.' I thought as I made no attempt to run like a normal person would in a situation like this. Then again, the minute I had Belt-san, I knew I wasn't going to be normal.
"Haru, you have to transform!"
"Transform? Belt-san, this isn't a TV show."
"Haru, you saw those images too, didn't you?" I nodded. Did Belt-san see those images too? "Then take this!"
Suddenly, roads appeared in mid air as something strapped itself onto my left arm. Looking, it was some kind of slot and for some reason, I felt like I knew it as two words escaped me.
"Shift Brace..."
"I don't know what's going on Haru, I don't know what these visions are or why they seem so familiar, but something is telling me to...Start Your Engine!"
Those words alone seemed to set me off. Unconsciously, I reached for the key and twist it, techno music playing as I grabbed the car on my shoulder and flipped the back side, inserting it into the Shift Brace.
"Henshin!"
Then, I push the car forwards like a lever.
DRIVE! TYPE: SPEED!
Suddenly, holographic cylinders appeared that concealed my body as steam came out. Once the holograms and steam disappeared, I was donned in armor.
The armor was red and greatly resembled a car. I wore a black body suit with white lines that ran down my arms and legs. I had red armored boots, silver knee pads, red gauntlets, and silver wrist bands, the right showing more silver as the left wrist was occupied by the brace, a red band wrapped around it. My shoulders were protected by pointed shoulder pads, and the chest armor was red with a black line across as it looked like something had to go there.
Suddenly, my car, Tridoron produced a wheel from it's tire and it went towards me, slamming into the black line on my chest as the tire was black with a red line in the middle, giving me more of a racer appearance. Finally, my helmet greatly resembled a car, colored red with two white lines that left a thin blue line that was hardly noticeable. The lens resembled a car's headlights, a silver 'R' was on my forehead, the top of the helmet had a rear wing, giving me more of that race car feature, and finally, a silver mouth piece.
"No! It can't be!" The android stepped back in fear as he gazed at my new transformed state.
"Haru...?" Origami said.
"What...is...this...?" The armored girl wondered.
"You...Who are you!?"
The lens of my helmet flashed as i flicked my wrist before answering.
"The names Haru Yamamoto. I'm just a highschool student that works part-time at the police station." I said before two more words flashed in my mind. "But you can call me...Kamen Rider Drive!"
