Disclaimer: I don't own one shred of Kamen Rider! The franchise belongs to Toei and Ishinomori Shotaro!
AN: Alright, this story I've had ever since seeing the first promo for Kamen Rider OOO. With the whole "medal thing" going on, I decided to make Dawn use a medal to transform, but I soon changed that into this! Alright, now let's show you my idea!
Tokyo University was considered to be one of the best school in all of Japan. It was crowded with students who either were going to classes or mingling with each other. Some students talked about dates, some talked about sports, and some talked about tests. To them, these things seemed important to them.
Yet, unknown to the students, the entire campus grounds was being watched by two beings who stood on top of one of the department buildings. The both wore cloaks concealing their entire body and wore hoods over their heads that covered their faces as well. The only difference was that one was black and the other was white. The black cloaked figure looked at the white cloaked figure, who was staring down at the students. It seemed as if they were searching for something. "Anything?" he asked.
The white cloaked figure turned to face the black figure. "He's not here," the white figure shook his head.
The black figure let out a frustrated groan. "We've searched everywhere and we still can't find him!"
The black figure's cloaked opened a little, revealing a white, mechanical pounding onto roof of the building. The white figure walked up to his compatriot. "What shall we tell the master?" the white figure asked.
"We'll tell him the search continues," was the black figure's response as he withdrew his arm back into his cloak. He turned his head towards white figure. "What of the shard?"
"I've already sent a Kaijin to search for it," the white figure responded.
The black figure stared into space as he pondered for a while. "I'll head back to base. You keep an eye on things here in case if anything happens," he instructed.
The white figure nodded as the black figure turned around and suddenly faded into the air. Once he was gone, the white figure turned his attention back to the campus grounds. 'Soon, we'll find it,' the white figure hoped.
Hours passed as students took their classes at the campus. Morning turned to night and the students in the college started to dwindle as they returned to their apartments. Many of undergraduate and graduate students were tired from all the work, especially one foreign exchange student named Ali.
Ali considered himself to be a normal, twenty-three year old guy, with short black hair and a beard as well as glasses over his brown eyes. He wore the uniform of khaki jacket over a white dress shirt and khaki pants. Ali went to school, earned good grades, and eventually found a good college. He was just your normal exchange student in Tokyo.
A few weeks ago, Ali used to live in the United States. However, due to high tuitions for colleges, Ali had trouble trying to find a good university to attend as a grad student. Fortunately, his dad knew a professor named Shigeru Tsuyoshi in Tokyo. He and Shigeru were good friends, so Shigeru offered for Ali to stay at his place. At first Ali refused, believing he would be taking advantage of Shigeru, but after some convincing from his dad, Ali agreed to go.
For the past few weeks, Ali stayed at Shigeru's house. Despite his fluent Japanese would help him socialize, Ali at first was cautious because most Japanese did not really like foreigners, especially Americans. Yet, he found himself to be quite comfortable with Shigeru's hospitality. Also, Shigeru's house was just a few blocks away from the university, so it wasn't too hard for him.
Now, he walked through the campus, receiving stares from the populous. Ali did get along with most people he encountered at his university, but he still was annoyed by the stares he got. However, he ignored their stares for he was tired from all the work he did. Working for a professor who gave out lots of work, even for a teacher's standards, was very tiring indeed. "Ali!" a high-pitched voice called out.
Ali turned around to see the owner was a Japanese woman running towards him. She was about twenty-three with long brown hair that reached past her shoulders, and her blue eyes. Her black shirt and khaki pants did cling a little to her slim figure. "Oh hey, Rin," he smiled as the woman, now identified as Rin, ran up to him.
Rin was Shigeru's daughter and a fellow classmate of Ali. Like him, Rin had been living in her dad's apartment, since it was a lot closer to the university. The two became good friends within a week and were almost inseparable, since they pretty much had every single class together. "How's it been?" Ali asked Rin.
"Pretty good," she replied. "I just got out of my class and thought it would be nice to talk with you."
"You sure?" Ali asked with some concern. "People might say things about you if you're talking to a foreigner."
Rin exasperatedly sighed. "Ali, I don't care what they say. You're my friend and that's all that matters."
Ali couldn't help but smile at that. 'At least I have one friend here,' he thought.
Their conversation was cut short at the sound of screaming. Rin and Ali turned to see the remaining students and professors on the campus running for their lives. One of them happened to be a Japanese man about fifty with short brown hair and brown eyes. He wore a brown suit with matching pants. The man noticed Rin and Ali just standing, and called out, "RIN!"
Rin's eyes widen as she noticed the man who called out to her. "Dad!"
The man, now identified as Shigeru Tsuyoshi, Rin's father, ran up to them. He collapsed on the ground, and Rin and Ali ran to his side. "Dad, are you alright?" Rin asked.
Shigeru nodded. "I'm fine," he panted. Shigeru looked at Ali. "Good, you're here!"
Ali looked at him in confusion. "What?"
Shigeru reached into the bag he was carrying and took out what appeared to be a hexagonal buckle. The buckle was silver with a blue gem in the center. "Take this!" Shigeru said, handing the buckle to Ali.
"What!" Ali said, puzzled.
"Put it on your waist!" Shigeru ordered.
"But what's going on!" he demanded.
"There's no time to explain!" Shigeru shouted as he saw everyone else had left the campus. "You have to fight that thing!"
"Fight what?" Rin, this time, demanded.
Shigeru turned and pointed. "That!"
Ali and Rin looked at what Rin's father was pointing at, and they were horrified. At the end of the campus street was a creature so horrifying. It was a horrific creature that was based off a bat with black skin. Its clawed arms were attached to its wings that enabled it flight along with white hair that came out of the back of its head.
"What is that!" Ali shouted in fear.
"No time!" Shigeru stated. "Just put the buckle on your waist!"
Ali reluctantly placed the buckle at the center of his waist and a white belt wrapped around his waist. "Now slam your hand on the top of the buckle," Shigeru instructed.
He complied as Ali slammed his hand onto the top of the buckle, which happened to have a button at the sound of a click. The gem in the center glowed brightly as the buckle announced, "ARMOR ON!"
Ali's eyes widen as red energy engulfed his entire body. It blinded everyone, including the monster, for a brief moment. Once the light died down, everyone couldn't believe what they were seeing. "A-Ali?" was all that Rin could say in her shocked state.
'Ali' now wore crimson red armor over his black bodysuit. His red chest plate and shoulder guards had silver trimmings on the edge. The smooth gauntlets and boots he wore had blue crystals emblemed into them. The red, round helmet he wore had a white stripe that down the center of the helmet as well as a blue jewel and a pair of antennae that protruded from the center of his forehead. 'Ali' had sapphire round eyes covering his own as well as a mouth guard with silver plates that made it seemed to shaped like mandibles of cricket.
'Ali' let out a low growl that only he and the bat creature could hear as he straightened his back. Rin just looked at the armored form of 'Ali' in shock. "Just what is that!" Rin demanded as she looked at her dad.
Shigeru smirked, "That's Dawn."
"Dawn?" she repeated as she looked at 'Ali,' who was now identified as Dawn.
The bat creature charged at Dawn, and swiped its claws at him. Dawn simply raised his raised his right arm to block. He then swung a punch to the bat creature's gut, forcing it back. Dawn continued his assault as he laid more and more punches on the creature. Rin could only watch in shock. 'Since when did Ali learn how to fight?' she questioned.
Rin's question remained unanswered as she watched the fight continue. Dawn charged at the bat creature only for it to be blocked, but Dawn swung his leg right into its side. It let out a yell of pain as Dawn grabbed the bat creature by the arm and continued to kick at it. Sparks flew from the bat creature as Dawn continually launched a series of rapid kicks to its chest. He then released his grip on the bat creature before Dawn delivered it a powerful punch that sent it skidding back.
With the bat creature down, Dawn saw this as an opportunity as he pressed the button on the top of his buckle. The blue gem in the center glowed as the buckle announced, "SOLAR SMASH!"
Red energy began to cover both of Dawn's boot. Once his lower legs were fully covered, Dawn leaped into the air as the bat creature attempted to escape, but its wounds prevented it to do so. It was inevitable as Dawn came crashing down upon the bat creature with a drop kick.
The bat creature immediately exploded. Shigeru and Rin had to turn away so the force of the explosion didn't affect them. The explosion left a circle of flames, which Dawn stood in the center of. Dawn walked out of the flames and faced towards the two witnesses in the area. He merely grabbed the buckle and ripped it off of his waist. The red energy field that transformed Ali into Dawn ripped off the armor from his body as he reverted back into his human form.
Ali looked extremely tired, maybe from the energy he used in the fighting. He simply looked towards Shigeru and asked, "Just what was that?" before he fainted onto the ground, the buckle still gripped into his hand.
"Ali!" Rin shouted as she ran to his side.
Shigeru followed and put Ali's arm over his shoulder. "Let's take him home."
Shigeru returned to his home. It had been a tiring day. After the "Kaijin," as he called it, attacked the college, students were told to return to their dorms, or apartments, or whatever they had for shelter. Ali was in the spare bedroom with Rin taking care of him, while Shigeru decided to sit in the living room. He thought he would get some peace and quiet...
BRRRRRIIIIIING!
Shigeru jumped a little. He turned to the side to see the phone ringing. 'Kami-sama,' he mentally groaned as he picked up the phone.
"Hello?" he said into the phone.
"Shigeru, it's me," the voice on the other end stated.
Shigeru sat up, rather frantically, from his chair. "What are you calling me for?"
"Oh, a certain red armored hero showing up at Tokyo University," the voice stated.
He nervously moved a little in his seat. "You've heard about Dawn?"
"Yeah, it's all over the news," the voice responded. "So, Ali's Dawn now." It wasn't a question.
"Yeah," Shigeru nodded. "There wasn't anyone else I could choose."
"I know, Shigeru. I'm just making sure everything's alright."
He sighed. "I hope what you gave me helped."
"So do I, Shigeru," the voice sighed. "So do I."
AN: And that's all I have for that. I actually do have a story for Dawn, but the problem is the execution of it. Also, another problem was trying to fix any plot holes the story might have. Still, I like the idea and it's available to other writers, if they choose to write about it. Take care.
Raika out!
