Story start
It was a calm warm summer day in the inkwell isle.
Walking along a road was a young girl.
She had fair skin, blue eyes and black hair that reached to her shoulder blades, it was pulled into a ponytail also, she looked to be around 16 years old. She wore a bright blue jacket over a black t-shirt. Her hips and upper legs were covered by a pitch black mini skirt with a white line on either side of it. Her legs were covered by black stockings that stopped four inches before her skirt. She wore white trainers with blue soles and was holding a chocolate milk-shake.
Her name was Saikyo.
"HEY! SAIKYO!" came a shout.
"Woah!" the teenager jumped at the sudden shout, throwing her drink into the air. It landed on the ground and split out. She looked sadly at her drink and then turned a deadly scowl on the source of the shout.
It was another teenage girl, about a year younger than Saikyo. She had pink hair that was pulled up into a ponytail, it reached to the base of her neck and would have extended down to her mid back if left loose. She had fair skin and bright pink eyes. She wore a white dress shirt and a pitch black mini skirt that reached halfway down her upper legs. Black boots covered her feet up to her ankles and around her neck was a bright pink choker with a red gem in the center of it.
Her name was Louise.
"What the hell was that for?! You ruined my drink!" Saikyo shouted angrily.
Louise waved her off. "Never mind about that, I've got something to show you!" She grabbed Saikyo's arm and pulled her along.
"Wait, where are we going?!" Saikyo shouted.
She was ignored.
The two arrived in front of a large casino. The walls were made of dice and above the entrance was five playing cards with a black furred monster holding them.
"I found this yesterday." Louise explained. "It looked really fun. I didn't have any money to play anything, but we got our pocket money yesterday." She started to walk towards the door.
Saikyo grabbed her. "Louise, have you lost it! Elder Kettle told us to never go this far from the house! For all we know this is a trap to steal our souls!"
Louise stared at her adopted sister for a minute. "That was oddly specific, but I'm sure you're worrying over nothing." She turned and walked into the building.
Saikyo sighed and followed her. "This is going to end terribly."
A bit of a backstory.
Saikyo and Louise were not native to the inkwell isle. They had appeared here ten years ago with no memory of their pasts and had been adopted by Elder Kettle. He had raised them as though they were sisters and at this point, they were in everything but blood.
Once they went in, Saikyo noticed something off. For one, the atmosphere.
Also, all of the staff were female. Each was humanoid and wore a pitch black jumpsuit with gloves and attached high heel boots. Their heads were covered by pitch black helmets with a square shaped bright orange screen taking up the face.
"I don't like this place." She whispered to her sister.
"It'll be fine." Louise waved her off and started gambling.
For a while she was on a winning streak, winning every game and making a small fortune.
"Hot dawg!" Exclaimed King Dice, the casino's sleazy manager. She wore a bag on the left arm of her suit that displayed a white dice with purple dots. "These two just can't lose."
Unfortunately, the winning streak attracted the attention of the casino's owner.
The Great Leader.
She wore an identical attire to the other workers, but her left arm bore a pair of horns with a bright red upwards pointing trident in between them.
"Nice run girls." She complimented me.
Both sisters gasped.
"How about we raise the stakes?" She held up a pair of dice. "Win one more roll and all the loot in my casino is yours. But if you lose, you have to join my staff, forever."
"That doesn't sound so bad." Louise commented.
Saikyo gave her a look of disbelief.
"You'd think so, but you are wrong!" The Great Leader proclaimed. "You see, the customers and myself are the only free thinking beings in the cansino."
Silence.
"WHAT!?" Saikyo screamed.
The Great Leader grinned wider behind her helmet. "Every member of staff lost a roll against me and were enslaved by the suits they now wear. So, are you in?"
Even Louise looked unsure now.
"Or are you all talk?" The Great Leader finished.
Saikyo stiffened. If her sister had one major weakness, it was her pride.
And the Great Leader had just struck her there.
"Louise no!" Saikyo tried to stop her sister, but she had already snatched the dice out of the Great Leader's hand and threw them.
To Saikyo's utter despair, the dice stopped rolling on a pair of ones.
"Ooh! Snake eyes! To bad girls! Now let's get you fitted out." The Great Leader mocked as she pulled out a pair of suits that looked around the sisters sizes.
"I'm not giving up my free will without a fight!" Saikyo reached behind her back and pulled out a device. It was a white square with the vertical edges being rounded outwards. In the center of it was a pitch black light.
This is the Decade Driver.
She placed it against her waist and a belt shot out of the left side, it circled around her waist and attached to the right side of the driver, locking it in place.
DECADE DRIVER!
"I shall aid you, sister!" Lousie got up and reached behind her back, pulling out a device. It was a bright orange rectangle with a pitch black screen. On the right side was three buttons in a vertical column, a red button between a pair of green ones. At the top of the device, running parallel to the screen was a horizontal slit.
This was the Fuse Driver.
Louise slapped the Driver to her waist and a black belt strap shot out of each side. They linked behind her and pulled taught.
FUSE DRIVER!
Saikyo pulled both of her driver's handles away from the main body. The main body rotated clockwise, now it pointed upwards with a slot being revealed. She reached behind her back and drew a card. It was black with a dark red roman one in the background. On the left side of the card was a black and white barcode, along the top was a red line with a barcode across it and along the bottom were three lines. The top line was black and displayed the words 'MASKED RIDER FOOL' in white while the line under it was bright red. It showed the word 'KAMEN RIDE' in white text. The bottom line was bright blue, on the left side it displayed a line of white numbers and letters, while the other side had a white circle with a black wolf logo inside it. The main image was of a person wearing a black helmet with a gray mouthguard and a pair of circle shaped bright blue visors. The faceplate had an upwards pointing triangle in front of the forehead. Coming from the triangle was a bright red line that went back over the helmet. On either side of the triangle was an upwards pointing protrusion that went up for half a foot and then curved down for an inch. On either side of the helmet was towards backwards pointing spikes that were bright red and angled to look like they came from the helmet.
This is the Fool Rider Card.
Saikyo flipped it around, the back of the card was bright pink with a black circle in the center that held a white wolf head in the middle of it. She loaded it into her driver's slot.
KAMEN RIDE!
The words 'KAMEN RIDER' appeared in front of the driver in bright red while the words 'MASKED RIDER FOOL' materialized under them in small pure white text. "Henshin!" Saikyo made the driver rotate back to its horizontal position by pushing the two handles back together.
THE FOOL!
The text moved up, floating in front of the top of the driver as the logo on the Fool Rider Card appeared in front of the driver. Twenty bright gray circles appeared around the Kamen Rider. Four of them showed logos while the rest were empty. Starting front of her and moving clockwise, the first displayed a howl dog head. The sixth showed a hierophant symbol, the thirteen circled displayed a rope and the sixth showed a pair of horns.
Each of the circles transformed into a armor gray hologram that merged with Saikyo, transforming her.
She wore dark gray boots that stopped just below her knees. The soles were bright red, there was a bright red circle around the ankles and around the top of the boots. Attached to the middle of the boots outside edge was a bright gray square. There was a red line coming from the right side of the square that circled around the boot to the square's left side. Another red line came from the bottom of the square to the ankle circle. A bright silver line ran up the boots inside edge.
Her chest was coated by a dark gray kevlar vest with a bright gray collar, it had bright red outlines. Running down the center of her chest was three pieces of dark gray armor in a vertical line. It was linked to dark gray shoulder pauldrons. On top of the pauldrons was two pieces of bright gray armor, the top piece was shaped like an outwards pointing triangle with a square piece on the outside of the pauldron. On top of the triangle piece was a bright red piece of armor that was shaped like an upside down vertical U.
Her hands and lower arms were coated by dark gray gloves with a circle around the top of them and her wrists. On the back of her hands was a rectangle shaped piece of bright red armor. Along the back of her lower arms was dark gray armor with a thin dark gray box mounted on the back half of it. The box and armor was held in place by a bright red strap.
Saikyo's head was coated by a helmet identical to the one on the Fool Rider Card. Everything that had not been coated by armor was covered by bright gray mesh. A line ran from her knee armor up to the bottom of her chest armor.
The teenager grunted as she felt the armor fuse to her body, becoming her skin, the helmet was now her head and the visors her eyes. Her hands were now the gloves and her feet had fused with the boots.
Saikyo had transformed into Kamen Rider Arcana, Fool Rider.
Louise pulled out a Rider Card. The logo in the background looked like black fire, lightning, wind and rocks. The logo was printed on the back in white. The top line displayed the words 'MASKED RIDER BEHEMOTH' in white while the line under it was bright red. It showed the word 'KAMEN RIDE' in white text. The bottom line was bright blue and displayed several random white letters and numbers on its left side. On the right side was a white circle with the logo inside of it printed in black. The main image was of a person wearing a black helmet that looked like it was made of rocks with backwards pointing spikes jutting out from it. It had a single visor in the center of it and the mouthguard looked like a maw of teeth that shone red.
This is the Behemoth Rider Card.
"Henshin!" She swung the card through the driver's scanner.
BEHEMOTH!
The driver's screen lit up, it had a bright red background in front of which was black fire, lightning, wind and rocks. Louise hit her driver's middle button.
SCAN TWO GO!
The Fuse Driver projected a holographic version of the logo on its screen. The hologram spun, expanding into a holographic suit of armor made from black light that shot back, colliding with Louise and turning solid around her.
She wore pitch black combat boots. Around each of her ankles was a rock black anklet with a circle shaped fire red gem embedded into the outside of them. Her knees were protected by circle shaped fire red knee armor that had a rock black outline. She wore a fire black breastplate that left her stomach exposed, it was linked to a backplate of the same color and around the base of her neck was a rock black ring. Her shoulders were covered by fire red shoulder pauldrons that curved with her shoulders. Her lower arms were surrounded by fire red armor with a rock black wristlet around her wrists. Each wristlet had a circle shaped fire red gem embedded into the outside of them. Her helmet was identical to the helmet on the card. Everything that was not covered by armor was coated in pitch black mesh.
Louise felt the mesh and armor fuse to her skin and bones. Her gloves became her hands while her boots were now her feet. Her helmet had replaced her head and her eyes were now her visor.
She had transformed into Kamen Rider Endbringer, Behemoth Rider.
Arcana brought out another card. It was colored black, at the top was a red line with a black barcode along it and on the left side was a white line with a black barcode. Along the bottom third were three lines. The bottom line was blue with a sting of white numbers and letters. The right side bore a circle with a white dog head in the center of it. The middle line was red with the words 'ATTACK RIDE' displayed on the left half of it. The top line was black and displayed the word 'FOOL' on the left side and the words 'DOG BITE' on the right side, both in white text. The main image was of a black dog head with red eyes, its mouth was open and it was snarling.
This is the Dog Bite Attack Ride Card.
She used her left hand to pull on her driver's left handle, the right handle mirrored its movements as she pulled it away. The driver's main body rotated, exposing the slot, which Arcana loaded the card into.
ATTACK RIDE!
The words 'ATTACK RIDE' appeared in front of the driver in bright red while the words 'MASKED RIDER ARCANA' appeared under them in white and in smaller text. Arcana pushed both her driver's handle back together, causing the main body to spin shut.
DOG BITE!
The words floated up to the top of the driver while the words 'ARCANA' and 'DOG BITE' materialized in front of the driver on the right and left side respectively in white text. Then all of the words shrunk back into the driver. She coated her right fist in bright red energy and shot forwards.
The Great Leader crossed her arms, letting the fist strike them in the center of the cross. She threw her arms out, forcing Arcana's arm away and then punched her in the stomach.
Sparks exploded from the blow as Arcana was flung backward, smashing through a table.
Endbringer drew an Attack Ride Card. It was identical to the Dog Bite card except for a few details. The bottom line's circle bore a black rock with a red circle in the center of it, the behemoth logo. The top line displayed the word 'BEHEMOTH' on the left side and the words 'FIRE BURST' on the right side. The behemoth logo was displayed in the main image's background and on the back of the card in black and white. The main image was of Kamen Rider Behemoth firing a blast of flames from its hands.
This is the Fire Burst Attack Ride Card.
She pushed her driver's top button with her left hand.
ATTACK RIDE!
Then swiped the card through its scanner.
FIRE BURST!
The Fuse Driver's screen shifted to display the words 'ATTACK RIDE' over the words 'FIRE BURST' both in bright orange text before returning to the Behemoth Setting. Endbringer threw both hands forwards, firing two forks of pitch black lightning. Only for the Great Leader to jump over it and turn her arms into goat hooves.
Her arms extended at lightning fast speed, impacting Endbringer's breastplate and driving her into the ground. The Kamen Rider recovered, grabbed both of the Great Leader's arms and sent a burst of lightning through them.
The Great Leader showed no sign of pain as she retracted her arms, pulling them from the Kamen Rider's grip. Her arms shifted back to normal and she turned into an elephant before falling at Endbringer.
Arcana had gotten back up at this point and held out her left hand. In a burst of silver and black barcode energy a weapon appeared. It was a dark gray baseball bat with two red lines running down the sides of it with a red circle about halfway down it. Its handle was dark gray with red straps and ended in a red dog head with gray eyes.
This is the Dog Basher.
She raced forwards, gripping her weapon in both hands and swung it. It impacted the Great Leader and Arcana gritted her teeth as she managed to force the monster away from her sister.
She dismissed her weapon and ran forwards. She leapt at the Great Leader and swung her left leg around as it was coated in dark red light. The Great Leader turned back to normal, holding up her left arm. The boot impacted the Great Leader's arm and was stopped cold. The Great Leader threw a punch, only for Endbringer to punch the ground with her left fist. A line of rocks shot forwards and expanded in front of Arcana, blocking the Great Leader's fist.
Or at least it was supposed to.
The Great Leader's fist morphed into a gorilla fist and smashed through the wall, it impacted Acana and sent her flying across the room, into Endbringer, knocking both Kamen Riders to the ground. Endbringer shoved her sister off of her and leapt into the air. She clasped her hands together and coated them in black fire before she came shooting down with a double overhead hammer blow. The monster threw her arms up and they shifted to look like whales before firing two streams of water from them. The streams washed over Endbringer, putting out her fire and throwing her into the roof. Arcana raced forwards and pulled back her right fist. She coated it in bright red light that formed into a wolf head before punching. The Great Leader deflected it with her left hand, not even flinching as the wolf head bit down on her arm.
She threw her right hand forwards, striking the Kamen Rider in the stomach with a palm strike that hurled her backwards through the air. She impacted a table, shattering it. Endbringer landed back on the ground and shot back to her boots. She threw both hands forward, firing two streams of black fire at the Great Leader, they scorched the ground as they passed over it. The Great Leader crossed her arms and they shifted into a turtle shell which blocked the attack with ease. Arcana got back up and clasped her hands together, forming a right red dog head around them.
Arcana thrust her hands forwards, firing the dog head. The Great Leader frowned. "Okay, this is getting boring." While still blocking the fire beam from Endbringer she fired two beams of orange light from her turtle shell. One of them washed over the dog head, blasting it to pieces that then it soared over Arcana's upper body, blasting her back into a wall. The beam held her there for several seconds before pettering off, letting her drop to the ground. Meanwhile the other beam was much narrower. It sliced through the fire beam, diving it in half before slicing into Endbringer's breastplate. Sparks flew as she dropped to her knees.
Both Kamen Rider struggled back to their feet, they glanced at each other and nodded.
Arcana pulled her driver open and then took out a new card. It was dark blue, across the top was a bright golden line with a bar code printed along it. Along the bottom of the left border was a white line with a black barcode printed up it. In the center of the card was a golden wolf head logo. Along the bottom half were three rectangle shaped boxes outlined in gold. Inside the top box was the words 'MASKED RIDER DECADE' in white text with the word decade being bigger. The middle box displayed the words 'FINAL ATTACKRIDE' in white text. The bottom box showed a two lines of random white numbers and letters.
This is the Fool Final Attack Ride Card.
She flipped it around, revealing that it was colored bright yellow with both vertical sides having a white border, the bar codes were in the same places. In the center of it was a black circle with a white wolf head in the middle of it.
She threw it into her driver's slot.
FINAL ATTACK RIDE!
The words 'FINAL ATTACK RIDE!' appeared in front of the driver as a bright yellow holographic before Arcana pushed her driver's handles together, causing the centerpiece to spin back to its normal position.
FOOL!
The words floated up to the top of the driver as the wolf head logo appeared in front of the driver as a bright yellow hologram. Under it was the word 'MASKED RIDER DECADE' with the word decade being bigger then the other two words. Under that line was the words 'FINAL ATTACK RIDE'
Meanwhile, Endbringer drew a Final Attack Ride Card. It was identical to the Fool Final Attack Rider Card with the following exceptions. The logos were a lightning bolt, a flame, a rock and a blade of wind. In the top box the word 'DECADE' was replaced by 'BEHEMOTH'
This is the Behemoth Final Attack Ride Card.
She tapped the Fuse Driver's bottom button.
FINAL ATTACK RIDE!
Then she swiped the card through the scanner.
BEHEMOTH!
The behemoth logo appeared on the driver's screen.
Bright red energy gathered around Arcana's left boot as she took a step forwards. She leapt into the air and then came down with a diving kick. The energy formed into a bright red wolf head with dark gray eyes. It howled as she closed in on the Great Leader.
Meanwhile, rocks and black fire, red lightning and gray wind gathered around Endbringer's body as she ran forwards.
The Great Leader clenched her hands into fists as they were coated in bright orange light.
"DOG BITE!"
"DYNA BURST!"
"HELL'S IMPACT!"
The Great Leader clashed against Arcana's boot with her right fist. The wolf head bit down on her arm, only to be dispelled against the orange energy. There was no resistance as her fist broke past the boot and struck the Kamen Rider in her abs, throwing her backwards.
At the same time, Endbringer unleashed an explosion of sharp pebbles, black wind blades, black fire and red lightning. None of them did anything to the Great Leader and her fist impacted Endbringer's faceplate, sending her flying backwards.
Both Kamen Riders hit the ground and rolled to a stop as their armors vanished.
"Now, its time for you two to do a little job for me." The Great Leader snapped her fingers, fixing all of the damage in a second.
"Please, we don't want to be enslaved." Louise begged weakly.
"Oh, I won't, not if you do one small job for me." The Great Leader explained.
"Why do I have a bad feeling about this?" Saikyo asked.
"When I was creating this place, I hadn't perfected my mind control tech. As a result, several debtors are still trapping in their suits, but walk free." She tossed a bag and a list to Louise and Siakyo respectively. "You have three days to put those devices on the back of the heads of everyone on that list, which will put them under my control, before I come after you."
"We're not going to-!" Saikyo started to object.
"Now, GET OUT!" The Great Leader completely ignored her and kicked them out the door.
Literally.
Saikyo looked at her sister with a deadly scowl.
Louise smiled sheepishly.
To be continued!
