So, before we even begin today, we must discuss something of great importance.
?: Hyper… Dai-Henshin!
=BAKKAN! MU~TE~KI~! KAGAYAKE! RYUUSEI NO GOTOKU~! OUGON NO SAIKYO GA~MER! HYPER MUTEKI EX-AI~D!=
*In walked Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer*
Presenting… Ex-Aid's Final Form! He's gone super!
Ex-Aid: ...hyper.
…*holds up a picture of Super Sonic* Look at the comparisons and tell me you don't see it.
Ex-Aid: Fair.
Anyway… that first fight was awesome and the Critical Sparking was amazing. Ex-Aid basically harnesses the power of the 'You're already dead' from Fist of the North Star. *gets looks* I know it because Atop the Fourth Wall. I originally heard of it from a Yo-Kai Watch parody, but besides the point. ...but I do remember one example of the 'You're already dead' from prior to seeing that scene.
*clip*
Machinedramon: Now I will finish you once and for all!
Koromon: I don't think so! You missed what I did as WarGreymon. *turns to face the Dark Master* I sliced you like an onion!
*Machinedramon then dies*
*end clip*
Yep. *hears a charging sound and then turns to see Ex-Aid Muteki Gamer fighting a duplicate of Genm Zombie Gamer* This outta be good…
=HYPER CRITICAL SPARKING!=
*Ex-Aid teleported above Genm and then rapidly kicked and punched him… only with no 'hit' marks appearing*
Genm: Nice try Hojo Emu…
Ex-Aid: Omae wa mou shindeiru.
*Genm then gained hit marks everywhere that Ex-Aid punched and kicked him before blowing up*
...wow. *claps in amazement*
Hero: Can I get something that does that?
We'll see, dude. *Ex-Aid then left* Seriously, though, the Muteki Gamer is made of awesome. Anyway… as mentioned last time, this world won't be following the plot of the original game to a T. You'll see more of that when we begin, so let's 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…
Hero: SAY IT!
Ike: HENSHIN!
Hero: Kamen Rider… Ike…
=FINAL ATTACK RIDE: ...I-I-I-IKE!=
KR Ike: GREAT… AETHER!
Takeshi: What were you thinking about?
Tiki-chan: That one guy Robin mentioned. Nobody else has mentioned that guy and we haven't seen that person…
Takeshi: ...wonder why...
The Mystery Woman left the room with stained glass windows before saw Takeshi was wide awake and had an annoyed look on his face.
"Uh…" she blinked.
"I'm looking for some answers," Takeshi informed, "You've kept me in the dark about who you are for to lo-"
The Mystery Woman then magically shoved him into the portal to the next world.
"Uh… I'm… gonna go help him and stuff…" Tiki-chan said as she went into the portal as well.
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 08: Going Forward
Takeshi simply fell out of the portal and face first into the ground of the next world. Tiki-chan flew towards his side, but couldn't help but giggle at what had happened to Takeshi.
"...quiet you…" Takeshi said as he got back up, "Well, now I know she's a magic user…"
"So, as she told us yesterday, welcome to the Radiant Dawn no… Sekai…" Tiki-chan began as she looked at how desolate the area around them looked, "...yeesh, look at all of the dead stuff."
The bluenette stood up and looked on at how sad the forest looked, "Oh my… what on earth happened here?"
"I don't know…"
The duo simply began to roam forward seeing nothing but miles and miles of burnt forest. Takeshi simply sighed as they continued forward. It ended up being several hours by the time they found something that wasn't burnt and that ended up being a cave.
"This looks really bad… not Crisis City levels of bad, but still bad," Takeshi commented as he sat down.
"Yea…" Tiki-chan nodded as she got out Takeshi's phone and looked over some data, "I'm gonna see if I can find some answers about this. In the meantime, we need to figure out where Micaiah is."
"Ah yes… the most unpopular lord in the entire franchise…" Takeshi commented.
"She is?" Tiki-chan blinked, "Didn't she place 9th in that 'Choose Your Legend' thing?"
"Likely only because her appearance was altered in Awakening to make her look like that stalker,"
Tiki-chan thought about it for a moment before she pulled up pictures of Micaiah's design in Radiant Dawn and then her design from Awakening, "...your point is clear. But what made her unpopular?"
"Her needing to make morally questionable actions throughout the game which includes setting up an ambush for the Laguz army as they attempt to cross a large river, trapping the army in a valley as they retreat and attempting genocide by burning them alive, and attempting to shoot down Empress Sanaki, who is, not to Micaiah's knowledge, her little sister," Takeshi recapped, "I get her hands were forced by the Blood Pact and stuff, but still!"
"...your point is valid," Tiki-chan admitted, "Do you not like her?"
"I'm indifferent… she's alright, but I do get why people don't like her," Takeshi stated, "I'm just saying why people didn't like her until she got that design to make her look like that stalker."
Tiki-chan gave a small roll of her eyes as she handed Takeshi's phone back to him and he began to fiddle with it. He then noticed a button that had a small blink on it and pressed it, which pulled up an inventory screen with ten slots.
"What's this?"
"Oh," Tiki-chan smiled as she flew up to his side, "That is your inventory."
"My inventory?"
"Remember how I said I had an inventory of two slots? Well, this is yours. I took the liberty of packing some food in it for you," Tiki-chan smiled, "And the items stack on each-other. One slot can hold as many of one item as you please."
Takeshi looked to see nine burgers, eight bags of chips, fifteen bottles of water, four cans of tea, seven bars of chocolate, ten packs of spearmint flavored gum, eight packs of sour candy, fifteen packs of cheese and seven things of ramen, "Wow… thank you."
"No problem," Tiki-chan giggled as she floated onto his shoulder, "We're partners after all."
"Where'd that come from?"
"...I'm just saying."
"Ok," Takeshi nodded as he patted her on the head.
"Somebody who calls himself a hero is going to try and kill me, you say?" a blonde haired gentleman asked the person in the white cloak.
"Yes. He is clad in a white and teal armor and answers to an unknown evil," the one in the white cloak informed, "I figured I must warn you, Mr…"
"Lekain," he spoke, "And you need not worry about me, I have somebody who can easily take care of this so called 'hero'."
Lekain turned towards a young woman who was obscured by the shadows. The young woman gave an evil giggle and slowly stepped forward…
Takeshi was still in the cave, now munching on one of the ramen things that Tiki-chan had packed, simply trying to relax before he proceeded forward.
"Strange how this world didn't seem to hand you a task," Tiki-chan commented, "We're just… here."
"Don't count your chickens before they hatch, Tiki-chan. Remember what happened back in Roy's world?" Takeshi reminded.
"Oh… good point…" she responded.
Takeshi proceeded to sip on the liquid that was in the cup before they headed out to find somewhere to dispose of the cup. The duo stared off at the burnt forest and sighed a bit.
"Yeesh… this world looks so desolate." Takeshi commented.
"What happened to this world?" Tiki-chan wondered aloud
Takeshi was about to wager a guess when a magic blast nearly struck him and Tiki-chan, "Gah!"
The two looked and saw a person who was holding a tome in their hand. The person simply gave a laugh, based on how her shadow moved, and then took out a belt buckle of sorts.
"Henshin."
"Uh oh…" Takeshi muttered as the person jumped forward to his position. He looked at the person before him, who was in a Rider form that had the body of Kamen Rider Marika, a helmet that was something of a mix of Kamen Rider Poppy's, minus the hairclip, and the mask of Ghost Himiko Damashii, a blue scarf around her neck, and a belt that looked like the one of the Shinkengers albeit opened up and having a silver disk with the Branded symbol on it, "Is that…?"
"So there's somebody roaming through this forest, eh?" the Rider commented before giving off a small laugh, "You better leave if you know what's good for you. I gotta go find somebody who's going around and calling themself a hero and kick their butt!"
The Rider walked by Takeshi and he managed to see Micaiah's unique Branded symbol on the armor, "...you're Micaiah, aren't you?"
The Rider came to a stop and readied her tome, "...you must be that hero. To bad this'll be your last day…"
She began to blast at Takeshi with magic blasts, laughing as she did so, but her aim left a lot to be desired as Takeshi managed to get behind the remains of a tree and put on the phone.
"Tch… this is gonna be problematic…" Takeshi muttered as he loaded in the card.
=KAMEN RIDE: …=
A magic blast destroyed Takeshi's hiding spot and he stood up, "Henshin!"
=HERO!=
Takeshi transformed into Hero and stood battle ready. Micaiah stared for a bit before she began to giggle a bit.
"Huh?"
"Looks like there's another Rider for me to beat up!" she smirked as she charged forward and began to try and punch Hero. Hero managed to evade her strikes, but couldn't land any of his own due to her speed. She laughed wildly as she punched and kicked him into the air.
"...am I fighting Micaiah or am I fighting Harley Quinn?" he muttered before getting sent back into a tree with a magic blast, "Looks like I gotta fight magic with magic…"
=KAMEN RIDE: ...ROBIN!=
Hero turned into Hero-Robin and was set to load in magic based Attack Ride cards, but saw that Micaiah was nowhere in sight. He stood there and waited before getting rapidly struck by punches and magic blasts.
"Hold… still…" he growled as he tried to load in a card.
"No way, loser!" she cheered before laughing as she continued to attack him. Hero growled and then loaded in Roy's card.
=KAMEN RIDE: ...ROY!=
Hero-Roy stood and attempted to slash at the enemy Rider, but she evaded all of his slashes before they could hit her. Her laughter was slowly starting to get on Hero's nerves as he attempted to charge up his blade with energy, but the blade was knocked clean out of his hands and he was sent tumbling back.
"Gotta be quicker than that…" she laughed before zipping off.
"Ok… that's it! Time for the powerhouse!" he growled as he loaded in Ike's card.
=KAMEN RIDE: ...IKE!=
Hero-Ike stood there and watched as Micaiah came in for a blow… only for the more durable form to make the blow useless. She continued to punch and kick him for a moment before backing up.
"You gotta hide behind some bulky doof to try and win? Coward!" she scoffed as she was about to back up to use a magic blow.
"Oh no you don't!" Hero-Ike yelled as he quickly loaded in and activated another card.
=FINAL ATTACK RIDE: I-I-I-IKE!=
His blade glowed for a moment before he charged forward, slashed upwards, jumped up and then rapidly struck Micaiah, "GREAT… AETHER!"
Hero-Ike then slammed her down to the ground and the force managed to not only knock her out, but also managed to force her to detransform. Hero-Ike then did the same and simply looked to the unconscious woman that was lying on the ground.
"What was up with her?" he muttered.
"I have a feeling it may have something to do with why the world looks the way it does…" Tiki-chan guessed, "For now, let's just get her somewhere where we can ask her some questions."
Takeshi nodded as he picked her up and headed back to their cave hideout.
*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 Micaiah'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.*
"Expa, expa, expa, explanation corner…" Tiki-chan sung as she flew into view, "Oh. Takeshi-san showed me this one show with a very catchy tune. Uh… Sirenger, was it? Eh, doesn't matter. Onto our next Rider! Kamen Rider… Micaiah!"
The picture of the Rider appeared on the screen.
"Our first lead Emblem Rider who's female. Neat, huh?" Tiki-chan giggled, "Anyway, onto her, she's quick and light on her feet. She rapidly strikes at a foe with either punches and kicks or her magic, having been the first main character in the franchise to use magic for their attacks since Celica in Fire Emblem Gaiden, but while she's quick and can dish out damage, she can't tank it very well. As you saw in the episode…"
She paused and replayed the clip of Hero-Ike's Great Aether striking the Rider.
"She got knocked out cold and out of her Rider form by that attack. You know, in a way, she's almost like a partner for Ike. She covers up his lack of speed and he covers up her lack of defense. Interesting, ain't it?" Tiki-chan pointed out, "Anyway, that's it for today. Come back next time for more of Tiki-chan's Explanation Corner!"
Jikai, Kamen Rider Hero…
Micaiah: *laughs a bit*
Tiki-chan: She might be insane…
Takeshi: I don't know…
Micaiah: What does it mean to be a Kamen Rider?
Takeshi: ...hmm…
Tiki-chan: What the…?
Takeshi: Huh? ...white cloak…
=KAMEN RIDE: …=
Takeshi: …
=NEO-HERO!=
Emblem 09: To A Radiant Dawn
Gabutyra roared as the Kyoryugers posed, showing the two battles the Kyoryugers partaken in.
Hero: Two amazing battles. Very brave!
Hero posed with Tiki-chan and Kamen Rider Micaiah before they slashed the screen to show Hero-Ike using a Final Attack Ride on Micaiah
Torin: While you may not have battled as much as we did, that battle you had with that one Rider showed great tactics on your part.
All the heroes came together, KyoryuRed and Hero shaking hands before posing
SUPER HERO TIME! SEE YOU NEXT TIME!
Something I noticed that has happened while looking over the release dates of these chapters, which KKD has been helping me keep track of, this story and Debo Kyoryuger have been updated on a bi-monthly basis (meaning twice a month). That is unintentional, but it happens.
Micaiah's behavior will be explained next time, so just wait for the explanation. With her fighting Hero, we have our second world where Hero has been treated antagonistically. Just a comment.
I do apologize for the wait, again, and this chapter might've been finished yesterday (July 3rd), had I not had to go to what will likely be my college campus to get some paperwork along with my mom. We'll be working on that paperwork tomorrow, so I may not be on tomorrow since… there was a LOT. I will say that the campus looked really nice and I may find something to show it off, but we'll see.
My favorite part has to be when Takeshi attempted to get some answers… I just find it very funny how spectacularly he failed.
Anyway, I hope you all enjoyed this chapter and have a great 4th of July. *in walked Ex-Aid in his Creator Gamer form* Oh hey.
Ex-Aid: The announcement for the Gashat was released.
And I see you have a line that is basically 'You've already Game Overed' for Ex-Aid. Awesomeness is born. Now then, I got stuff to do. *takes out some papers* Just Live More. *walks off with Ex-Aid in tow*
