CHAPTER 01 (Arrival)
"Maggie, I've found you."
A man was sitting on his knees with his skull cracked in half. Blood was pouring out like a river from his head, his right eye covered in blood, and his left eye was popping out from his skull as the left side of his skull was crushed a bit. He was trying his best, putting his every strength left in his body to talk, to say something to the woman who was sitting in front of him, crying and begging for him to stop or it might to someone else, as someone who hit on his head twice and to put enough force into it to break it in half.
But something was strange happening to him; he could feel any pain; his whole body was feeling numb; he couldn't feel the blowing wind on his skin, the stones or gravel under his knees, or even the warmth of blood flowing out of his head. But for him, the only thing that mattered was the woman who was crying in front of him, who was crying for him.
The man tries to say something more, maybe something that might help the woman stop crying for a bit, but he can't feel his jaw, his tongue, or any control over it. He was sitting on his knees as his body was swinging back and forth, but it didn't last very long as another hard blow felt on his jaw.
His body fell on the round as he started losing consciousness, and then another and the last hit he felt on his head, smashing his head into pieces.
That moment, the man's soul left the body as it went to the way of the afterlife.
The man opened his eyes. As he regained his consciousness, he looked around him, filled with darkness. He tried to move his head around to look at his surroundings, but couldn't. He tried to move his body, but couldn't, as his body was refusing to do so. But he felt a sensation around his body; it felt like some sort of liquid, like water, and his body was flowing above it. It felt like he was floating on the river.
'Where am I, Where is- 'he thought process stop for a moment as he tries to think about it. 'Where was I, last time' He put all his mind on it to think about it and to remember about it, but it felt all blank; he couldn't remember anything from his past; what he could remember was a sound of crying and someone whose face was blurred, but it felt like she was crying for him.
'Who, who are you?' The man questions the image, but instead of answering, he only gets her screams and cries. But the weird part of it is that he felt something inside of him—a gut wrenching feeling, an emotion of pain in his heart. He tries to move his body in an attempt to console her and ease her pain, but he can't. He tries to speak to her, but he can't. What he could do was just watch the unknown figure for an whole hour.
After an hour, he felt the flow of river increase, his body drifting with flow in high speed, as the surrounding change around him, form the dark it turns into a white space, the liquid sensation around him changed as he starts feeling his body weight and a solid thing on his back, like he was lying on a ground, he starts regain control over his body, he first move his fingers of his left hand, he pick his body up as he tries to sit on the round which he success, after sitting he move his head around left and right to look around him and he only saw one color around him white, and then he looked at himself, he saw himself wearing a white t-shirt, with white trouser with no pocket and with bare feet
'Where am I?' Again, his thought went back to the same question, which he thought an hour ago: 'And who was- Aacck
Suddenly, a massive amount of pain erupted on his head, and as he clutched it very tightly, he fell back on his knees.
"ACCK, AAAAHHHH" He screamed so hard, as he felt like his throat might burst from the pressure, as the pain started to increase to a level where he might feel that he would die from it.
He clutches his head for his dear life as some images start flashing around his eyes. The first image shows a woman carrying a basket in her hand as she was laughing and smiling at him, but then the vision changes show darkness around him, her smile turns into terror, his laugh turns into a cry, as his pain gets higher, as his body falls back on the ground, goes back to the same position he was a few moments ago, and then suddenly his pain vanishes.
He stopped screaming as the second pain vanished from his head. He started taking deep breaths in labor. He tried to calm himself a little bit, but while in that process, he didn't notice one thing.
"Welcome"
There was someone else present in the same space as him.
San Pedro, Los Angeles, CA, USA
It was nighttime, a police car was driving along the coastline while playing rock music at a medium level of sound. As the car was driving near the harbor, it suddenly halted. As a man walked out of the car, a police officer walked out of the car, and his face was covered in shock and stunned by the scene in front of him.
"What the Fuck?" was the only sentence that came out of his mouth.
What he saw at that time felt like something out of reality; it felt like some sort of fantasy came out of a comic book.
He saw a cyclone on a larger scale, spinning on the sea. The weirdest part about it was that the sea was still calm at the shoreline compared to the rain waves, and those waves were not even reaching the dockyard; they were just moving at only one particular radius, like some sort of energy field was containing the storm at that particular radius.
"What the hell is going on?" The officer questioned himself as he witnessed this strange phenomenon, but then his focus went to the voices of people coming from the dockyard. As he saw a small crowd looking toward the cyclone, some were pointing at it, and some were screaming or crying at it.
The officer runs toward the crowd.
"Welcome"
He looked toward the voice. He saw a man wearing a white sweatshirt and white pants, with bare feet sitting in a crisscross position; his hair was a short black color; he was wearing square-shaped glasses; he was carrying a book in his hand, a brown book with no name, just a blank brown book; his eyes were blue sapphire, staring at him with calmness.
The man's sight connects with the strangers' eyes, as they keep staring at each other without blinking or breaking eye contact, and they keep staring at each other for a long time.
There was something weird in those stranger's eyes; the more he stared at them, the more they felt different. It's really hard to tell or convey, but the more he stared at them, the more he felt like he was drowning in the ocean of sapphire. It felt so calm and relaxing, like every pain, hate, or negativity vanished around him; his head ache was gone like it didn't exist in the first place; his fear and anxiety were long gone; he felt only one feeling.
And that was peace.
"Welcome" The stranger greets him again, blinking his eyes, by breaking the connection between the eyes, pulling him out of the state as he puts the book gently on the ground. As he gets up from the ground, he takes a step toward him while extending his right hand towards him, and then says another word.
"I've been waiting for you, Glenn Rhee."
The man, whose name turns out to be Glenn Rhee, looked at the stranger's arm with wide eyes. As he heard his name, or his actual name, which he forgot, he slowly reaches his right hand forward. He stops for a moment due to hesitation, but he continues it and grabs his hand.
The stranger smiled as he pulled him back onto his feet.
"Who, who are you?" Glenn asked.
The stranger smiled at his question, to which he replied
"Me, well, I have many names; some call me the watcher, some call me the musical HOID, some might call me the god of Deceit AMON. I have lots of different names; some are very known, some might be forgotten in the millennium century of history. You might be thinking of me like a god, the true god, the almighty, but no, he's far above me; I'm nothing compared to his light." The stranger replies to Glenn as he looks at him in confusion, which leads to his second question.
"Who are you? Where am I?"
The stranger looked at him and answered, "This place is nothing."
"Nothing," Glenn repeated his word as he looked around.
"Yes, this is nothing. A blank space exists between the realms of living and death, a space that connects everything, and when I say everything, it means everything, and about me, I think I already answered it before."
"Then, why am I here?"
"For a second chance, Glenn, my dear Frenn..." Stranger replies, while stretching his last word a bit in a very peculiar way while pointing at him.
"Huh?" Glenn said in question:
"Yeah, it's a terrible joke. Well, back to the subject." The stranger replies as he goes back to his usual self. He raises his left arm forward, and a small cricket ball-sized white orb appears on it.
"As I said before, for a second chance, a new world, a new adventure waiting for you, Glenn Rhee," said the stranger as he pushed the orb into Glenn's chest, which made Glenn reel back and fall to the ground, or where the land was supposed to be. He then took his place by a big white shinning hole, a hole in which Glenn fell, as he yelled in shock.
"And remember, AWAKE YOUR SOUL."That was the last thing he heard from the stranger, as he kept falling into the hole while screaming.
SYSTEM INITIATE, PROJECT G-1, INSTALLING 98%, 2 MINUTE LEFT.
Installing complete
A woman sitting in front of her PC, typing rapidly on her keyboard, writing commands and codes on her system, which says Project G-1,
"Exoskeleton strength confirmation complete, AI sensor installed, everything is done, but this is just one fucking thing." The woman mutters while looking at her screen, and then her view point moves toward her right.
Armor strapped on wire, the chest piece colored blue, a golden helmet with three horns at the head, red visor eyes, and a lower body in silver metal.
"The energy only remains for 15 seconds during the battle," the woman says as she slams her fist on the table.
Suddenly, the woman felt a sensation on her arm. She looked upon it and said her birth mark was shining a bit, like it was trying to give her a signal. Then, her vision was blank, and the scenery of her rooms turned into a park. As she saw a shadow falling a man from behind, the shadow was tall, very tall compared to an average human. Even though the shadow didn't feel like a human, it felt more like an animal.
"Huh" The woman gasped as she came back to reality, and while looking back at the screen of P.C., her breathing pattern changed from normal to hard as she said only one thing.
"It's Time"
During the night, a man walking down the street carrying a suitcase in his hand, wearing a brown coat, white pant with white shirt, walking casually while wearing headphone listening music in it, while being not aware of someone is following him from behind, silently.
And that someone was not a human, it has the appearance of jaguar, standing on his two feet wearing a strap belt on his waist, bronze bracelet on his both arms, and a red cloth while a long side hanging at his left side, was following the man as he stops and hide behind the tree, observing him silently, as he saw the man walking down the road
The creature eyes pupil slit vertically, his bears his claw, as he moves his right hand on his chest, then he moves his left hand but stopped in midway, way as he felt a sensation on his back, a familiar sensation on his back, the same sensation he felt from this person, but on greater scale, his eyes lift upward as its turn around and follow the sensation, leaving the man behind and sparring him from his doom.
After running for a few moments, he reached at an abandoned warehouse, he looked around, he found no one, but he knows that he's not alone in there.
?You finally arrived, I knew you would come, Lords?
The creature turns around as saw a figure, standing at the upper floor balcony, putting her right foot on the railing, staring down, wearing a red blue armor, with black helmet, with red eyes shining bright in the dark, as the figure continued
"Or should I call you?" The figure leapt from the balcony and land on the ground, leaving a small crater on the ground "Jaguar Lord"
The 'Jaguar Lord' stare at her for a second as he speaks
"Imposter, You're not Kuuga, You might look like him, but you're not, You're an Agito" he put his left hand on his chest, and then move his right hand on his left hand make a sign on it, "And I shall erase you, in the name of my lord" after completing the sign a shinning hollow appear above his head

Kamen Rider G-1
Battle Mode
"Well, BRING IT ON"
With the battle cry both sides charge against each other
A fishing boat starts running towards its destination.
After reaching the dockyard, Shane made a call to headquarters. However, before he could explain the situation, the cyclone suddenly disappeared and everything returned to normal, except for a partially sunken ship. The ship sent a warning flare, requesting help. The officer then requested the medical team to reach the dockyard as soon as possible.
After finishing the call, Shane asked one of the fishermen if he could borrow his boat to check on the half-sunken ship. The fisherman agreed, and they drove the boat to the ship.
After a few moments, they reached the ship.
Shane grabbed a rope with a hook and threw it onto the railing. After hooking it, he started climbing. Once he reached the top, he pulled out his flashlight and began searching for people.
"HEY, IS ANYONE HERE?" Shane screamed. "LAPD, IS ANYONE HERE?"
Shane walked towards the deck to search and found a girl lying unconscious on her face, holding a flare gun in her right hand.
"Hey," Shane ran towards her and grabbed her arm. She had a pulse, she was alive. "Are you alright?" he asked as he shook her, trying to wake her up.
The young girl's eyelids moved slightly as they slowly opened. She saw the officer's face.
"H-Help... my f-father," she tried to speak, pointing towards the back door, but then she fell unconscious again.
Shane looked at the door, then back at the girl. He carried her in a bridal hold to the boat and placed her on it. He then ran back to the ship, entered through the door, and found many people unconscious on the floor.
Shane ran back to the fishing boat.
"Sir, I need some help."
Clash began
Lord swings his right claw toward the armor person, it blocked the blow, then the armor person leapt back,
"Commence, Agility mode"
G-1 Agility mode: Activate
G-1's eyes flash for a second, then it charges toward the lord with a high-speed punch to his right shoulder. The lord reels back from the blow and turns to G-1, only to find nothing. Another blow hits his back, and he turns around again to find nothing. Then, another blow strikes the back of his left knee, followed by a knee to his face as G-1's body leaps in the air.
Suddenly, G-1 appears behind the Lord, grabbing him from behind by the waist in the air and pulling his body behind, creating an arc and then slamming the lord's head onto the ground. This move is a German Suplex in midair.
G-1 steps back, creating some distance, and feels pain erupt in its feet. However, a golden shine is released from its feet, and G-1 gets back up as if there was no pain in the first place.
"That was some good speed," G-1 says.
G-1's attention returns to the lord as it gets back on its feet, swatting dust from its robe and acting as if nothing happened.
"But playtime is over," the jaguar lord vanishes from sight. G-1 suddenly feels an impact on its midsection, hurling it back into a heap of metal scrap with great force and speed.
"Don't underestimate us, you puny agito," G-1 says.
As the dust cloud clears, G-1 is seen lying on the floor with scrap scattered around it.
WARNING! WARNING!
G-1 ARMOR SHIELD DROP TO 45%
DAMAGE ON THE MID-SECTION IS CRITICAL,
NEED FOR MEDICAL CARE
IMMEDIATELY
CONTACT TO THE HOSPITAL
"N... No," said G-1 as it noticed the injury. A golden light shone on its mid-section, causing the spilled blood to move back into the body in reverse. The injury then healed and returned to normal.
G-1 tried to get back up, but noticed a blade coming down towards it. It rolled away to maintain distance, but the lord sprinted towards it with his sword and took a giant swing to decapitate G-1.
G-1 ducked from the blow and pulled out a small cylindrical object from its thigh.
"Commence, G STAFF."
The object extended from both sides, forming a staff. G-1 dodged another swing of the sword and hit the lord on the head with the staff. It then spun the staff in a circle, creating momentum and hitting the lord's back, momentarily dis-balancing him. Before another blow could land, the lord used his agility to vanish in front of G-1 and reappear behind it.
But this time, G-1 was ready.
G-1 side-stepped the incoming attack and swung a right hook, hitting the lord's jaw and sending him a few steps back.
"Commence Agility Mark 2."
G-1 Agility Mark-2 mode: Activate
Warning: High pressure force on the user's body
"Activate"
G-1's eye LED flash much brighter, releasing steam from its arm and thigh, while staring at the jaguar lord, who is caressing his jaw from the blow.
The lord tries to hit G-1 with agility again, hoping to catch it by surprise like last time. However, something unexpected happens this time. The lord rushes forward with his punch, using his high-speed agility. As the punch nears G-1's jaw, it moves out of the way, with both arms moving towards the lord's right hand. G-1 then twists its body around and pulls the lord towards itself, performing a judo throw. It slams the lord onto the ground with great speed, creating a loud noise of impact. But once again, something unexpected happens. Instead of landing on its head, the lord lands on its feet and raises its feet for a kick to G-1's face.
'BAAM'
The lord's eyes widen in surprise as G-1 blocks the hit with its arm. Both leap back to maintain a distance between them.
G-1's arm bends in a weird way as a golden light shines on it, returning it to its normal state.
"How?" the jaguar lord asks in frustration. "How can you still move? How can you still fight against me, Jaguar Lord, Pantheras Luteus? Who are you?"
"I am, I am Kamen Rider G-1. Remember it. This is the last thing you will remember in your final moments," G-1 says as it puts both arms forward in a cross form and speaks.
"Commence, Hyper-Mode."
WARNING! WARNING!
HYPER FORM PUT 10 TIMES MORE PRESSURE, ITS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE USER
LEAD TO THE CAUSE OF DEATH OR BE CRIPPLED FOR LIFE
DO YOU STILL WANT TO USE IT.
"YES"
The LED flash on G-1's eye switched off momentarily, but then a surge of heat emanated from its body. A crimson red aura began to emanate from its form as the LED light in its eye glowed once more. This time, the light was so intense that it transformed from red to white. Even the lord took a step back, realizing that any mistake could be his last.
ACTIVATE HYPER MODE
TIME LIMIT-15 SECONDS START
They both vanished in speed, and then the last battle being
They both moved at such incredible speed that a normal human couldn't see their movements. Only flashes of light and the sound of swift impacts could be perceived.
14 second left
G-1 landed on the ground after exchanging 25 blows with the lord in midair. Then, G-1 ran towards the lord who had just landed and charged at him with his right fist. The lord mirrored G-1's action and pulled out his right fist as well.
Both fists connected, releasing a high-pressure burst of air upon impact. However, they didn't stop there. They continued to exchange blows, fist against fist.
11 second left
After 3 seconds, both fighters have landed 1742 punches on each other's fists without stopping. However, the pressure begins to shift as Lord's blows become more powerful, causing G-1 to take a step back. G-1 is putting in a tremendous effort, giving it their all, as blood starts to seep from their fist and the sound of bones smashing can be heard from their knuckles. The hyper mode intensifies the pressure and pain on G-1's body, but they still refuse to stop for even a second. Each time G-1 pulls back their fist, it is enveloped in a golden light and heals within a nanosecond.
10 second left
G-1 was tired and badly injured, but it still waited for the right moment - the golden time of G-1. Finally, its patience paid off when Lord made his biggest mistake by throwing a right punch as a killing blow.
The right fist reached towards G-1's face, but it managed to dodge the blow.
"NOW," G-1 threw a 1-2 combination towards the mid-section and followed with a straight punch to the chest.
BAM, BAM, BAM.
Each hit felt like a shotgun blast as G-1 continued with a series of combinations - a left straight, right hook, left jab, right cross, and finally, a right uppercut.
BANG
The Lord was forced to take a few steps back and landed on his back.
5 seconds left
Lord tried to get back on his feet, and he nearly succeeded. G-1 took a few steps back, assumed a pose, and declared,
"LAST MOVE."
INITIATING LAST MOVE
RIDER KICK
G-1 charged toward the Jaguar lord, then jumped in the air, performing a jumping kick that connected with the Lord's chest.
BBBBBBBBBBBOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMM
Shane pulled the last passenger out of the fishing boat at the dockyard, while the medical team provided treatment and checked on everyone. It turned out that none of them were heavily injured; they were just unconscious.
As Shane looked at the half-sunken ship, he tried to understand what had happened. He wondered about the cyclone and how it had occurred; it was beyond his comprehension. He thought it was just a strange day filled with odd occurrences. However, little did he know that his life was about to change permanently after this incident.
Now, we have to wait and see if he will adapt to these changes or not.
After the explosion, G-1 was hurled back and fell from the force of the blast. It tried to search for the lord and found him sitting on his knees, with burn marks all over his body and clutching his chest in pain. The lord looked towards G-1 with bloodshot eyes and whispered,
"I will kill you."
TIME UP
COMMENCING KAMEN RIDER G-1
Standby mode
"Shit," G-1 exclaimed as the armor went into standby mode. In this state, she couldn't fight against the lord.
"I will kill you, AGITO," Lord Jaguar attempted to do something, but then he felt a sensation and stopped.
"Human," Jaguar Lord said, turning his attention towards the fallen G-1 who was trying to crawl away from him. "You're lucky, Agito, but not for long," the lord said before vanishing from the scene at incredible speed, leaving G-1 all alone.
After a few moments, a man entered the abandoned warehouse and saw G-1 lying there.
"Madam," the man, dressed in a black coat, black pants, and a white shirt with a bow tie on his collar, rushed towards G-1. Judging by his appearance, he seemed to be around 45 to 50 years old.
He knelt beside G-1, who was lying on the ground. The face helmet opened, revealing black hair reaching her shoulders, with blood stains on her face. She slowly opened her brown eyes and looked at the man with a smile.
"You're a lifesaver, Ben. Do you have something to eat? I'm so hungry," the lady said with a smile.
White Point Park, San Pedro, California, L.A
It was morning, and the sun was rising in the sky. People were taking their morning walk in the park, which was located near a beach. The beach was a popular spot for people to enjoy the cold wind and the warmth of the rising sun.
On this particular morning, an old man was walking on the beach. Suddenly, he noticed a man lying on the beach. The man was wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, and the waves were hitting his body. However, he was not responding to the waves.
Concerned, the old man ran towards him. He checked the man's pulse and then pulled out his cellphone to make a call.
To be continued.
