Disclaimer: I don't own Kamen Rider! It belongs to Ishinomori Shotaro!
AN: This Rider here was inspired by my Kamen rider Crystal. I was lying in bed one night, trying to sleep, when I had this new Rider appear in my head (it happens quite often for me). I took some elements of my Kamen Rider Crystal fic, a fic that won't be showing up on this site, hopefully. Why? Let's just say it's weird and this is coming from the guy who comes up with these weird ideas!
But I digress, Cobra uses elements from the Showa Rider series, like organizations and so on. However, it's kind of a little different, or at least I plan it to be different anyway. How so? Well, I hopefully plan to post this up on this site, so then you'll see.
Anyway, let's get onto Cobra!
I sometimes wish that this never happened. I wish I could just go back and fix everything I've done. But no matter how hard I wished, my problems would never go away. If only I could remember how it all started, things would make a lot more sense to me.
I guess it all started was when I was in India. I was ten years old, and just out of fourth grade. My mom arranged for my brothers and I to go to India after our grandma, had an accident that injured her hip. For many days we spent our time in grandma's house, mom taking care of her while my brothers and I simply sat around with nothing to do. Fortunately, we were able to talk about things, like school, and our favorite movies, so we wouldn't be bored.
One day I walked around the cracked floor of my grandma's house. It was a one-floored house with a kitchen and bathroom in the back. In the front were two rooms, one a bed, the other the living room. grandma slept in the bed room, while we all slept in the living room. In the living room was a table and a small drawer.
I slowly peaked into grandma's room to check on her. She seemed alright since she was sleeping quite peacefully, but I happen to notice something else. There were three crystals on the drawer next to her bed. One was purple, one was green, and another was blue. I looked at them from where I stood with wonder, but I quickly went back into the living room when I saw my mom. That was the first time I saw them, but it wasn't the last.
The second time I saw those three gems was when the day we left grandma's house. I don't remember her face, but I remembered she was extremely sick as she lied on the bed with pain aching all over her body. A blanket was covered over her body, save for her head. grandma called out to my mom and whispered something into her ear. Whatever grandma told her, it had to deal with the three crystals as my mom grabbed them and placed them in her purse before we all left.
That was the last time I saw my grandma for she died a week later after we returned to America. I remembered my mom crying a lot as my dad tried to comfort her. The death of my grandmother shook me as well, but I'm not sure about my brothers. They seemed to remain the same, even after grandma's death. As for the three gems, they left my mind as time went on. My mind no longer dwell on the three gems and instead focused on the road ahead of me.
Now, I'm eighteen. I go to high school as a Senior, attempting to work on my grades. I grew quite a bit, six feet tall, with my short black hair and brown eyes. I've trained gaining a good physique as well as my two older brothers. However, whatever was normal to me disappeared when it happened...
My name is Adam. I'm born in America, but I have somewhat natural tan skin on my body as well as my brown eyes and black hair. To me, life seemed to be boring as usual.
It was a normal day for me. I woke up in the morning, took a shower, got dressed, and put on my clothes, which consisted of a blue , cotton shirt and black pants. I brushed my hair as well as my teeth. Once I was done, I finished my preparation by putting my glasses over my brown eyes. Yeah, my life was boring.
I now ran down the stairs of my home as I carried my black backpack. I ran down to the end of the steps to meet with my mom who had my lunch in her hands. My mom was a kind woman in her early fifties with long black hair that extended down to her waist. Like me, she wore glasses over her brown eyes. Due to her age, she was gaining some fat on her belly, but my mom was proud about it. Unfortunately, dad wasn't around because he was taking care of some business out of town. My mom handed me my lunch. "Thanks mom," I thanked her before I started to head for the door.
"Wait!" she grabbed my shoulder, halting my rush to the car.
I turned around to face my mom, but before I could say anything, she took my other hand and I could feel an object being placed into my hand. I looked down at my hand to see a purple crystal in my hand. "What's this?" I asked her.
"A gift," my mom replied. "Something grandma wanted me to give to you when you were old enough."
I froze. 'grandma?' I asked myself.
I said nothing as I put the crystal into my pocket. "Thanks again mom," I smiled at her.
My mom took me by surprise when she hugged me. "Be careful," she whispered.
"Mom, I'm old enough to take care of myself," I told her as she released her hug from me.
She gave me a small smile. I turned around and left through the door towards my car. Yeah, forgot to mention that I've got a driver's license as well as my own red Kia car. I put my backpack in the passenger seat before turning on the engine. Once the engine was on, I drove out of the driveway, waving to my mom as I did so.
Like I said, everything seemed normal enough. The sun was starting to rise, since it was winter, but I was wide awake, so I had nothing to worry about. At least that's what I thought. The road in front of me didn't have that many cars at all, since it was about 6:30 in the morning, save for few cars at the intersection at the end of the road. Once I reached the intersection, I stopped and waited as cars sped down the road.
I thought it would take a while, so I decided to take a look at the "gift" my mom gave me. After taking it out from my pocket, I inspected the crystal. It had the typical crystalline shape with a translucent purple color that covered it. It was the size of my thumb-same with its thickness. It had straight faces with pointed ends of both sides. I wondered why grandma would want to give it to me. Sure it did look good, especially when the light shone on it, but why would my grandmother, who was ill the last time I saw her, wanted me to have this.
My questions had to wait as I saw no more cars on the road. It was a perfect chance for me to drive as I put the crystal in my pocket. I turned the wheel to the right, and pushed on the accelerator, hoping I wouldn't be late for school. That would be the last time for I heard a car speeding on the road. I turned around and my eyes widen in horror as I saw a van coming towards me. I tried to get out of its way but it was too late for I only saw the van crashing into my car before vision turned black.
Black... that was all I could see at the moment.
My eyes fluttered a bit as I opened my eyelids. I had to squint my eyes a bit for there was a bright light above me, which turned out to be a regular lamp. However, it was the only source of light for there was no other light in the entire room. At first, I thought I was back in my room, but I was dead wrong as, from what I could tell, it looked like a laboratory of some sort. What for though, I didn't want to find out.
I tried to move my arms and legs, but I couldn't. I tried again, using all my strength, but it failed. I looked at my arms and feet to see them bound to a table with metal straps. My upper body was bare, while my lower body still had the pants on. I immediately became scared. I had no idea where I was and what was happening to me. "What's going on!" I thought aloud. "Where am I?"
"You're in a secret laboratory," a man's voice spoke.
I whipped my head around to see who said that. I saw at the end of the room a male surgeon assisted with five other surgeons. They walked towards me, taking positions around the table. I noticed they all didn't wear gloves nor did they have surgical tools. "What's going on!" I demanded from them. "Who are you people!"
The surgeons said nothing as one raised his arm over my body. My eyes widen in fear and horror, seeing the surgeon's arm was nothing more than a hideous robotic arms with long, black nails extending from the tips of his fingers. The surgeon pointed his sharp nails towards my stomach. "Stay still. This will hurt a bit," one of the surgeons told me.
With that, I saw green beams of energy shot out of the surgeon's sharp nails and hit my stomach. A wave of pain shot all throughout my entire body as I could feel the beams penetrate my skin. I screamed in pain as the surgeons operated on me. My vision blurred for quite a while, but I could see a purple light being placed into my stomach before it was covered by a silver, rectangular casing of metal.
As they operated on me, I kept on screaming in pain, hoping for someone to come and rescue me. I got my wish as I saw an arm grab the mechanical arm of one of the surgeons. "What are you doing!" I heard one of the surgeon shout at the owner of the arm.
I don't know what really happened next, but as far as I could tell, green beams of energy went all over the room, hitting the surgeons around me. I heard weirds sounds, which possibly could've been button, as the bands on my hands and feet unlocked. I sat up from the table and looked at the person who saved me, who happened to be standing at some computer with a brown bag. "Who are you?" I asked my savior.
The man was of Indian descent with gray hair on the sides of his black hair. He wore glasses over his blue eyes, and despite, he seemed to be about fifty, the man looked like to have pretty good physique. "There's no time," the man stated as he tossed the bag to Adam. Adam looked at the bag wondering what it was until the man said, "Your clothes. Put them on!"
I nodded as I pulled out from clothes from the bag and put them on my body. Once I was dressed, the man rushed over to the door and opened it. He looked towards me. "Lets get out of here!" he commanded.
Seeing how this man was probably my only ticket out of here, I had no choice but to listen to him. I followed him out of the lab and out into a long hallway that seemed to belong to some military organization. The man in front of me happened to be moving quickly as he crept through the halls. I followed in suit, copying what he did. Hey, if I wanted to get out of here unnoticed, I best stick with him!
Anyway, I continued to follow him until we reached what I thought were the elevators. Instead of continuing though, the man stopped. He turned around to face me. "Listen, that elevator head down to the top of this place," he instructed. "There should be a garage with a bike for you. Take that and get out of here."
"But wait, what about you!" I asked him. I needed to know more about the man who saved me.
"I'm going to stay here for a while," he answered. "Someone needs to keep them back."
"Who are you talking about!" I demanded.
Before the man could answer, we both heard loud footsteps rushing towards us. The man just shoved me in the direction towards the elevator. "Get going!" he ordered.
I could only do what he told me as I ran down the hall and towards the elevator. Once I entered the elevator, I could feel it immediately rise to the top. The elevator opened, revealing a large garage. I crept out of the elevator, hoping to hide from anyone inside. As I did, I noticed at the end of the garage was a bike.
It was a strange bike. It was colored purple all over with golden streaks on it. The bike's headlights seemed to shaped almost like a snake's eyes. However, it didn't matter to me because it was ticket out of here.
I rushed over to the bike, but I felt a sudden pain in body as I noticed a purple light emerging from my stomach. I looked down to see the source of the purple light was the purple crystal mom gave to me, now placed in the center of a rectangular, white buckle that was strapped around my waist by a golden belt. 'What is this?' I thought, but another wave of pain swept over my body.
The crystal in the buckle glowed brightly once more, but this time it didn't stop. The glow continued to become brighter until it it engulfed my entire body. The last thing I saw was the glow blinding my eyes before I blackened out.
I had no idea what was going on. My vision was covered by a purple translucent color as I saw myself running down a hall. I saw about fifteen men in black suits and gas masks charging towards me. I didn't know who they were, but for some reason, my body reacted before my mind could for I charged at the guy in black.
I could see my fist punching into the face of the closest person, which surprisingly sent him flying back into a few more men in black suits. Another one send a punch at me, but I ducked before punching him in the stomach. The next guy I swiftly gave him an uppercut that sent him crashing into some of the other men in black. I kept on knocking each one out, dodging every attack they threw at me. I hit one in the neck, another in the stomach, and another in the side.
Two more came at me, throwing punches and kicks that I was able to dodge. The one on my right, I struck him in the head before jabbing the one on my left in the stomach. Those two fell onto the ground, unconscious. I stared at the last one who charged at me. The guy threw a punch at me, which I blocked before I kicked him in the side. He was still standing, so I kicked him in the side again and this time he was sent crashing into the wall, this time knocking him out.
I turned around to face the rest. They all were standing there, preparing for what I was about to throw at. However, I ignored them as I picked up a shadowy figure and slung him over my shoulder. Then, I saw myself leaping into the air, crashing through the ceiling without any resistance.
I groaned as I opened my eyes. I sat up trying to wear off my fatigue. I began to recount the events of what happened when I was in the lab. "It was just a dream," I told myself. "That's all it was. A dream."
However, I questioned myself when I saw that same belt around my waist. I eyed at it, my hands inspecting its rectangular frame work as well as the crystal that was placed into the center. I couldn't believe it! "Was it really a dream?" a voice questioned me.
I turned around to see who said that. It was man who saved me, sitting on a wooden crate. It was then I noticed that I was inside of what appeared to be an old factory warehouse that seemed to have been abandoned for quite some time. "Where is this place?" I asked him.
"A temporary hide out," the man replied as he stood up and walked over to me.
He offered me his hand, which I accepted as he helped me up. I began to feel a little dizzy as I lost my footing a bit. Fortunately, the man caught me time and helped me over to a crate that I used as a seat. "You should take it easy," he told me. "You used quite a lot energy rescuing me."
I looked up at him. "Rescuing you?" I inquired, and he nodded. It hit me as I remembered my dream. "Then what happened wasn't a dream?" He nodded again.
I groaned as I rested my face into the palms of my hands. "You must have many questions," he said, making me look at him, "and I'll answer as many as I can, but remember we can't stay here forever." He looked around the warehouse, worried if someone was watching. "They could be watching."
I raised an eyebrow at him. "Who's this 'they' you keep on talking about? What happened to me?" I gestured towards the belt around my waist. "Just what is this?"
The man returned to the wooden crate and sat on it. "To answer your questions in order, the people I keep talking about is the organization named Sanctum."
"Sanctum?" I repeated.
He nodded as continued. "Yes. Sanctum is a secret organization hidden from the world. Only those in high government positions know of their existence. Sanctum wants to control the world by manipulating the world governments."
I could only stare at him. An organization that was manipulating the world governments. Okay, I could understand that. "Alright, by what happened to me?" I asked him as I gestured to the belt around my waist. "Just what is this?"
Suddenly, the man picked up a glass bottle and tossed it towards me. I caught it easily, but once it came into my hand, the bottle broke into many pieces of glass when I clutched it. My eyes widen at this. "You were turned into cyborg," I heard the man explain. "Sanctum found your body in a car accident and thought it was the perfect opportunity to modify your body."
I looked at him. "Why do that? Why turn me into a cyborg?"
The man replied, "They control the world governments, but to ensure that they have no resistance, they kidnap people and turn them into cyborgs. You're body has been modified with cybernetic implants to give you incredible powers." The man who pointed at my belt. "That belt around your waist allows you to activate them."
I looked at the belt in awe. Was it really capable of doing that? If it was, I wanted to know how what was possible! However, another question popped into my head as I stared at the man. "But why did you help me escape?"
The man paused at he was thinking of a right answer. He finally stated, "I've got some business with Sanctum. At the time, it seemed the only way for me do that was to rescue you."
"But what about me rescuing you?" I asked. "I wasn't in control of my body at the time."
The man shrugged. "I can only assume that the buckle has an AI in it and was activated when you were trying to escape."
I nodded at his explanation, yet more questions lingered in my head. However, it seemed my questions would have to wait as the man and I heard a vehicle approaching the warehouse. We both walked towards a nearby window and looked out to see a truck filled with men in black suits and gas masks stopping right outside. "Who are those guys?" I asked.
"Sanctum Grunts," the man snarled.
A shiver ran down my spine. These guys were going to be taking me back to that base. I had no inclination for returning back there. I had an idea as I looked down at my belt. I turned to the man and asked, "How can I activate this?"
The man turned towards me and said, "There should be a button on the top of the buckle. Once you press it, say 'henshin.'"
"Henshin?" I repeated.
"It's the activator word for the buckle. Once said, the cybernetics will activate, giving a suit of armor," the man informed me. It then hit him. "You're going to activate it, aren't you?"
Before I could answer, we heard footsteps from behind. We turned around to see more Sanctum Grunts standing some yards away from us. The man got in front of me, taking a stance. "Listen, we don't have time," he told me. "Get out here now!"
"What about you!" I asked.
"I'll hold them off, while you escape," the man replied.
I shook my head as I walked next to him. "Oh no!" I said. "You're the only guy I know who has the answers I want. I can't let you get caught."
The man sighed in defeat. "You're a stubborn one, you know that?"
I couldn't help but grin. "Tends to run in the family."
We both turned around attention back towards the Sanctum Grunts who were now charging towards us. The man and I took a stance, preparing ourselves for the Sanctum Grunts. Though I wasn't how much of a fighter the man was, I knew I had some experience, since I used to fight quite often with my brothers.
I dodged a punch from one Sanctum Grunt before I punched him in the gut. The next one, I forced him back with a quick kicked to the chest. Another one was able to kick me in the stomach that forced me back a bit, but I held my ground and sent a punch into the guy's face. As I held off the Sanctum Grunts, I saw the man holding off the ones attacking him. For a man of his age, he was quite agile because he was dodging every attack. The man would then counter strike with a punch or a kick, forcing the Sanctum Grunts back.
Despite how skilled we were, we were outnumbered we couldn't hold them off for long like this. It was then I remembered about my belt. I punched a Sanctum Grunt away, remembering the man's instructions. I looked over at the man, who got the same idea. "Transform!" he told me as he dodged a punch from one of the guys in the gas masks.
I nodded as I looked down to see a small button on the top of the buckle. As I pressed it, I said, "Henshin."
Once I said the activation command, the purple crystal in the center of my buckle let out a flash of purple energy that engulfed my body. The flash of energy dispersed into the air, and I could see the Sanctum grunts looking at in fear, while the man was smirking. I looked down at myself and my eyes widen in amazement. "Incredible!" I exclaimed.
My body was covered by purple over my black bodysuit. I wore a purple chest plate with golden trims on the edge as well as round shoulder guards. I had purple armor covering my biceps and thighs as well as gauntlets and boots on my forearms and legs. My head was covered by a ground, purple helmet with a white stripe that went down the middle as well as a white mouth guard. My eyes had a purple slit over it, which was surrounded by a golden visor that was shaped almost like a snake's mouth with 'fangs' framing the visor and mouth guard.
Despite I was a little freaked out at my armored form, I felt somewhat calm as I felt something flowing through my body. Something I've never experienced before... power. I turned back towards the Sanctum Grunts. I could take them one now. "Now then," I told the Grunts, "where were we?"
The Sanctum Grunts hesitated a little before they all charged at me. I smirked as I laid a punch on the first one that seemed to have knocked him out before quickly kicking my right leg up into the face of another Grunt, knocking him out as well. I turned my attention towards the other Sanctum Grunts who were just standing there. I lunged towards them, leaping my body into the air with my two swing flailing about.
My feet kicked the closest Grunt, forcing him back as I landed. Two charged at me, but I forced them back with a punch to their guts. One tried coming at me from behind, but I turned around to grab him and toss him into the air. The other Grunts moved to the side as that Grunt happened to crash into a couple of crates. Another one charged at me from the side, but I quickly hit him in the face before sending him back with a punch to the chest. One more came at me, but I kicked out my left foot against his legs, making him loose his footing as he dropped to the ground.
I stopped to see that there were no more Sanctum Grunts left. The ones that were attacking me were now lying on the ground, moaning in pain from the bruises I gave them. I sighed in relief, turning to see the man knock out another Grunt with a punch. "Not bad for a rookie," the man stated.
I ignored that and asked, "How do I get this off?"
"Just pressed the button and hold it down."
I did as he instructed and the bright flash of purple that gave me this armor, ripped it away from me, reverting me back to my human form. I looked down to see the belt was gone. It didn't matter at the moment cause I was safe. I looked back up at the man, who said, "We need to get out of here, now!"
With that, he ran towards the exit. I followed him towards the exit to see that purple bike leaning against the door. Along with that bike was a regular one. The man got on the regular bike, while I got on the purple. Putting on our helmets, we both sped our bikes out of the warehouse and out into the woods that laid outside of the warehouse.
I had no idea where I was going, so I decided to follow the man. We fortunately didn't meet any Sanctum Grunts along the way as we ended up on a road. I thought I was finally free from those guys, but its seems like I didn't know half of it.
AN: And that's pretty much about it. Now, this idea isn't available for other writers cause I plan to post this up soon(that is once I have the story done). Sorry, but that's how it is. Anyway, let me know what you think it. That way, I can know if I need any changes to the story and if you want give some criticism, then go ahead, but please let it be only constructive criticism.
Raika out!
