I chose to begin work on this chapter after I completed the previous, simply because I wanted to. I will note there is another story I do need to work on… and then two other stories me and KKD concepted around the same time of this story being made.
One of them is a Super Sentai story, but I'm refraining from saying any details about it because… because. Me and KKD have finished concepting most of it and I'm sitting on making it a Super Hero Time partner to this story, but I don't know. Well, may as well begin.
Fire Emblem belongs to Nintendo, Intelligent Systems, etc. Kamen Rider belongs to Toei, Bandai, etc. All OCs belong to their owners.
Previously on Kamen Rider Hero…
Robin: A person in a white cloak came to warn me about him…
Chrom: Wait… he's the traitor?
Takeshi: I am not!
Grangel: Kisama! Nani mono nanda?!
Takeshi: Torisugari no Kamen Rider da… oboetoke! Henshin!
=FINAL FORM RIDE: ...RO-RO-ROBIN!=
Hero: Kore ga ore-tachi no zengekuda!
=FINAL ATTACK RIDE!=
Mystery Woman: You two have the rest of the day to relax until you are sent to the next world.
Takeshi and Tiki-chan continued to snooze before he was poked awake by a seagull. Takeshi yelled and shooed it off before he noticed they were on an island, "Uh… Tiki-chan?"
"Good mornin…" she greeted as she flew out of the card holder, "Oh. Looks like we're in the next world."
"We're on some island, huh?"
"The Western Isles, to be exact."
"Looks like we're in Binding Blade no Sekai…"
Kowashitai daijisou ni kakaeta watashi o zenbu (I'm breaking down all the walls I've built up around my lonely heart now) *Takeshi held his phone in his hand before he was seemingly absorbed into it.*
Kimi ga kono kodoku o itami o iyasu no (You're the one that takes it all away, my solitude and all my pain) *His phone was now attached onto his wrist and his Driver was in position.*
Reincarnation Realization *The Kamen Ride Hero card slipped out and into the phone insertion.*
Reincarnation kiete shimaitai (I want to disappear…) *Takeshi now stood on the ground as Kamen Rider Hero.*
Kamen Rider Hero
Nemuranai machi no zawameki aisouwarai no yuutsu (I walk alone through the city of lights, I see the same fake smiles every night) *Takeshi was now back in the real world and had his phone in his hand, playing Fire Emblem Heroes.*
Honne nante itsuka doko ka mienai furi (Cause everyone hides...they run and they hide from their real feelings.) *The game then had all of the characters seemingly vanish. Takeshi then took his phone and put it into position*
Dare datte fuan nante sonna (And everyone's got their stresses too, yeah I know) *Hero was seen punching and kicking various Risen foes, knocking them away, before he turned to see the fractured stained glassed windows of the nine worlds.*
Iwarenakutemo wakatteru (But I already get that's the status quo. I'm breaking down…) *Kamen Rider Marth, Ike, Robin, Micaiah, Roy and Lucina all stood and seemed fractured as well. Hero stood in the center of the six, glancing towards the three without representation.*
Kowashitai daijisou ni kakaeta tsuyogari nante (All the masks that I wear to hide my lonely heart now) *He took the six cards and loaded them into his card scanner, now being armed with the Fire Emblem itself. The cloaked woman walked over to him and simply smiled.*
Demo sunao ni narenai (But what if I'm just lying to myself?) *Takeshi stared at his phone for a moment before he was joined by Tiki-chan, who was initially in her distance form then in her normal form, who then smiled at him*
Mayottemo nayan demo kimi ga motomeru nara (If even now, you still want me when I am hurt,wandering lost in the rain) *Takeshi and the green orb both stood between the worlds, looking towards the six Riders and three silhouetted figures.
Semete kono kodoku o itami o kowashite (The at least help me destroy it all… My solitude, and all my pain) *Takeshi now stood as Kamen Rider Hero and reached out to them, trying to save them.*
Reincarnation Realization *Takeshi was now back in his base and held out the Kamen Rider Hero card.*
Reincarnation umarekawaritai (I want to be reborn) *He then turned towards the reader and gave a simple smile, showing off the Hero card.*
Emblem 04: The Bern On The Western Isles
Takeshi and Tiki-chan began to roam around the island in hope of finding some civilization, but had no luck after what seemed to be several hours.
"Are we there yet?" Tiki-chan asked, presently sitting on Takeshi's shoulder.
"I don't know…" Takeshi sighed.
"Can we please take a break?"
"What are you complaining about? You can fly…"
"Not when it's to warm…"
Takeshi sighed and sat down on some cool sand as Tiki-chan relaxed on the sand herself.
"Alright…" Tiki-chan thought as she looked around a bit, putting her hand down in the sand, "I think I know which Western Isle we're on now. Keyword is 'think'."
"Alright, I guess…"
"Looks like we're on the Fibernia island,"
"...wait… then that means-" Takeshi began before he was bonked on the back of the head by men in body concealing gray robes.
"Takeshi… Takeshi… Takeshi…" Tiki-chan's voice echoed as she tried to shake him awake, "Thank goodness… you're awake…"
"My head…" Takeshi groaned, "What hit me?"
"Some people from the corrupt Erutian Army," Tiki-chan informed as she pulled out the phone, "Looks like we're at the point where Roy and the Lycian Army head to the Western Isles to look for the Axe of Thunder."
"How did you not know that before now?" Takeshi inquired.
"I didn't know which island we landed on, so I couldn't pinpoint where we were exactly… I'm sorry about that," Tiki-chan apologized.
"It's fine…" Takeshi assured as he got up and looked around, "...where'd you get my phone from?"
"I can carry it and the belt buckle in a hammerspace that I carry around with me. However, it's only big enough to fit two things at a time."
Takeshi gave a nod before he got struck in the back by a whip, "...ow…"
"Get to work, boy! We haven't got all day!"
Takeshi growled a little bit, but simply compiled so that he wouldn't get injured further, "So… we're in Eburacum?"
"Most likely," Tiki-chan nodded as Takeshi got struck by another whip, "Hey!"
"Less talk, more work!"
Takeshi simply took a pickaxe and began to chip at the minerals.
"Why are you doing this?"
"I need to think of a plan," Takeshi whispered, "So I just gotta act natural until I think of that plan."
"Ok,"
Some days had passed and Takeshi had no chance to think of any sort of plan. He had numerous marks along his back, little sleep, and little food.
"So… uh… do you have that plan yet?" Tiki-chan asked in worry.
"Not yet…" Takeshi sighed as he looked to her, "...is there more than one of you?"
"Nope."
Takeshi rubbed his eyes a little as he sat down to try and regain his energy, but got struck by a whip again.
"Back to work!" somebody yelled.
"Takeshi!"
"...Tiki-chan… I'm fine…"
Tiki-chan looked at her injured partner and then to the sky, "I'm gonna go look for help."
"Wha?"
"I'll try and find Roy-tachi. Please… just try and stay alive…" she told him as she flew off.
"...good luck…" he muttered.
Tiki-chan flew past the mountain and back to the beach area, but her size made it feel more like a desert, "Why… is it… so hot…?"
The greenette slowly began to float down to the ground, energy drained from the long flight, before she fell to the ground, "No… no… Takeshi… gomen…"
Tiki-chan then passed out on the sand. Luckily for her, somebody on a horse noticed she was there...
"Hey… you ok?" a voice asked Tiki-chan, both in the shade, and the person before her holding a leaf with water in it.
"...yea…" she nodded, "I am now… ugh…"
"What's your name?"
"Tiki-chan."
"Nice to meet you… can you tell me what you were doing all the way out here all alone?"
"Roy-san, who are you talking to?" a bluenette asked who Tiki-chan was talking to from a slight distance.
"Lilina, I've told you that I can see some stuff that nobody else can," the man responded.
"Wait, you're Roy! Thank goodness!" Tiki-chan smiled, "Listen, I have a friend who got captured by bad guys and is in a lot of danger. I'll show you the way!"
"Alright," Roy nodded as he stood up, "Lilina, prepare the troops."
"Alright…"
Takeshi watched as two men walked along and oversaw the people working, "Roartz and Alucard… or… wait… is it Arcard? ...not important."
He slowly readied a pickaxe to attack… only for Roartz to whip it out of his hand.
"If you were attempting a sneak attack or an escape, don't talk so loudly," he scoffed.
Arcard walked over and pinned Takeshi to the ground, "Let us make an example out of you…"
Tiki-chan flew up, saw Takeshi in danger and signaled to Roy.
"Hurry!" Roy yelled as he and his forces charged forward.
Arcard was about to strike Takeshi, but was smacked in the back of the head by Tiki-chan, "Ow! What hit me?!"
"A fly, maybe," Roartz guessed as he got beaned in the head too, "Ow!"
Tiki-chan giggled a bit as she kicked Arcard in the back of the head and then flew down to Takeshi, "Hiya."
"Got help?" he whispered.
"Yep. And I think I have a plan to help heal you up," Tiki-chan nodded as she put Takeshi's phone onto his wrist and then loaded an Attack Ride Card into it, but it failed to activate, "Looks like the Nosferatu can only be used while you're in Rider form. Gomen, Takeshi,"
"It's alright," Takeshi assured, "Though… that paired with Robin?"
"Yea."
"He can't naturally use that…"
"I'm aware," Tiki-chan admitted as Arcard was knocked off of Takeshi, "Oh, help's here."
"The Bern," Roy commented as he got off his horse, "What's going on here?"
"They're using people for slave labor!" Tiki-chan yelled.
Roy simply looked to the two before he raised his blade into the air, letting the sun shine down and reveal a belt that looked like Black RX's Sunriser in the Bio Rider form, "Henshin!"
His body glowed with white light and he became a black suited warrior with a brown belt that had a silver buckle with red gems decorated with blue wings, blue armor of varying shades, silver gauntlets and leg bracings, golden accents, having a blue and red scarf, a blue headband with golden accents, blue eyes, a silver mouth plate, and red "hair" on top resembling his natural hairstyle.
"Ore wa lion yo! Kamen Rider Roy!" Roy declared as he charged forward with his blade in tow and began to slash around the two generals, but Wyvern Riders flew down and began to attack Roy.
"Huh… Roy meets Black RX…" Takeshi commented as he put his belt buckle on.
"Takeshi, you're not in the best condition to fight!" Tiki-chan warned.
"We gotta help him!" Takeshi responded as he took out his card, "Henshin!"
=KAMEN RIDE: ...HERO!=
Takeshi transformed into Hero and then took out an Attack Ride card with a crossbow.
=ATTACK RIDE: ...CROSSBOW!=
The horn split off Hero's helmet and became the main part of the bow, with some yellow parts splitting forming the rest of the weapon. Hero got a bit of a smirk as he took aim and fired magical energy arrows at the Wyvern Riders, but he slowly began to miss them.
"Uh… you're missing…" Tiki-chan informed.
Hero let out a loud yawn as he continued to fire, but it was missing… badly.
"You're missing! Badly!" Tiki-chan yelled.
Roy slashed at some of the some of the Wyvern Riders with his blade, which seemed to get faster and stronger as he slashed, before he got bonked in the back of the head with an energy arrow, "Hey!"
"He's sorry! He's just sleepy!" Tiki-chan told him.
"...could you please leave the battlefield?" Roy asked Hero.
"...I can… help…" Hero responded before he fell to his knees and detransformed.
"Takeshi!" Tiki-chan gasped as she flew over to him, "Please be ok… please be ok…"
Roy fired a beam slash at a Wyvern Rider before he went over to check on Takeshi, "He's alright. He just fell asleep. Guys! We need an emergency exit!"
Pegasi Knights flew into the air and began to distract the foes, allowing the enslaved people to make a run for it, with Roy detransforming and helping get Takeshi out.
Up at a higher vantage point, Brunnya was watching as the heroes were fleeing.
"That guy in white was certainly interesting…" she smiled.
*As the instrumentals slowly began, Takeshi stared at the dark room with the inactive portal.*
Embrace the dark you call a home, *Takeshi held out the Hero card and was joined by Tiki-chan.*
Gaze upon an empty, white throne *They looked to the portal, which was inactive and then slowly showed Kamen Rider Roy's image*
A legacy of lies, *The two were being watched by something in the shadows*
A familiar disguise *Takeshi turned and then saw the mysterious woman before he was again shoved into the portal.*
Sing with me a song of conquest and fate *Takeshi, now Kamen Rider Hero, was standing in between various worlds and seeing the fractures to all nine of them.*
The black pillar cracks beneath its weight *He could see the nine Riders all facing away from him before they faded as if they weren't even there.*
Night breaks through the day, hard as a stone *Hero and Tiki-chan stood in a dark room in confusion before they slowly walked out of it*
Lost in thoughts all alone *The two simply continued forward.*
"I'll admit I'm pretty dang worried about Takeshi, but I can't let that affect my work in the Explanation Corner, so let's get that under way!" Tiki-chan smiled, "Let's talk about our next Kamen Rider, Kamen Rider… Roy!"
A picture of Roy popped up and Tiki-chan looked it over.
"It's a really neat picture. Another thanks to our awesome artist for more awesome work." Tiki-chan smiled, "So, in order to summon his belt to transform, Roy raises his sword into the air and lets sunlight reflect onto him. With a cry of 'Henshin' he transforms into Kamen Rider Roy."
She then gave a smile, "Kamen Rider Roy is another all-around Rider, but excels in any form of combat. Hand to hand, kicking, and especially sword-play. Then again that might just be a given for almost all of the Rider Emblem heroes…"
Tiki-chan then gave a shrug, "Anyway, in Rider form, Roy has the ability to summon any of the Divine Weapons and can use their power alongside his own. However, he can only use them for a short while before he needs to switch back to his normal sword. So that is a bit of a risk to do, but makes him one versatile Kamen Rider. Well, that's it for Tiki-chan's Explanation Corner today, minna."
Somebody then proceeded to whisper from off-screen to her.
"Oh? ...can I explain something called 'Tumblr'? ...uh… I don't know what that is. Gomen to whoever asked that…"
Jikai, Kamen Rider Hero…
Takeshi: I'm feeling better.
Tiki-chan: Just try not to hurt yourself.
Roy: We need to find the Thunder Axe.
Takeshi: Who are you?!
Brunnya: How about you join me?
Takeshi: …
Roy: ELFFIN!
Emblem 5: Child of the Lion
Takeshi certainly got dealt a bad hand today, pun unintended, but that's kind of because of how he (like Tsukasa) assumes certain roles depending on the world. ...yea… that was what the world wanted him to do. I don't know if Takeshi will get as unlucky in the remaining worlds, but we'll see.
Anyway… thanks to KKD for, again more art, and giving me a summary of Roy's game (The Binding Blade) and I eventually found the area I wanted to work with. Then, while doing some research on the game, I found out something else that will be impacting the plot, but that's going to be talked about next time. Trust me there.
I will also be adding that KKD has done an original bit of content for the series, a mini-comic called Kamen Rider Hero Chibi. Basically, he'll do a mini-comic and… yea. The first one was about Tiki-chan's appearance and his reaction to Robin being with Olivia… and then Silver commented that he agrees with KKD's opinion. ...that's certainly unexpected.
That Tumblr thing mentioned… ok… so, somebody asked on KKD's post of the title card for Tiki-chan's segment to have her explain that. ...I don't even know what Tumblr IS.
The bit with Takeshi wondering about one of the enemy general's names is in nod to how he had a different name in the fan-translation of Binding Blade. Just saw that while doing research and thought it was cute, so… yea.
Personal favorite part is where Roy shows up and becomes a Rider to get the people out. That part was really awesome.
I can confirm that, starting next chapter, Kamen Rider Hero will be getting a Super Hero Time partner. You'll learn more about that next time.
Just Live More.
