Disclaimer: I don't own anything! Kamen Rider Ryuki belongs to Toei! I only own the OC Riders who are based off of the Ryuki Riders!

AN: This here is a revised version of my Kamen Rider Cyclone idea that I had. It's more similar to Kamen Rider Lynx's Mirror's Shadow in some ways (I didn't realize that until I was writing this AN), but I've tried to keep it more original. Despite all that, I hope you enjoy it!

The world was once a peaceful place. There were tensions amongst many nations, but they were no wars declared against one another. The world was experiencing a time of great scientific advancement. It seemed like nothing would go wrong.

However, something did go wrong. Horribly, horribly wrong. Two years ago, in 2009, a bright flash of light engulfed the entire planet and it was as if hell had unleashed itself. Earthquakes turned the great buildings of man into ruins, tsunamis covered most of the land masses, and mountains burned down to the ground from the heat of planet's magma. As a result of all this destruction, the population was reduced to half, leaving only a few million left.

After the waves of destruction covered the Earth, something else came. Objects of power, known as the Rider Decks, which can turn us into Kamen Riders, warriors who fight to for their own desires. My friends and I each have a Deck of our own, utilizing ours power through the means of cards. Though it did seem dumb, the cards turned out to be pretty useful. In time, we started to give people shelter and protection.

There are those who want our powers though, for their own reasons. There's one gang, in particular: our rival, the Fangs. They seem to be doing the same as us, protecting people, but they tend to make them give something in return. Despite that, their methods attract more people to them for protection.

Honestly, I don't really care about what happens. I just want to rest, let this whole thing be over. I'm not alone in this. My friends and I have just finished our latest-and hopefully final-mission. We all agreed to live to live somewhere after all of this is over.

I'm Darren and this is my story.

I stood outside of the abandoned military base, waiting for the others arrived. The base before me had gray buildings all over it with a tall building in the center-probably where there main base of operations were. Around the entire complex was a tall wired fence that stretched on for miles on end. The gate made of wires was locked, preventing anyone from entering, though I wondered why, since it was abandoned in the first place.

By the way, I'm Darren. I'm an eighteen (the youngest of the group), Indian American teen (not Native American-god, the times I've had to tell people!) with tanned skin, black hair and glasses over my brown eyes. Over my body I wore a white shirt and black pants underneath my green hooded sweatshirt. On my ear was a black blue tooth ear piece. I turned to face the other guy next to me. He was crouching down with a black laptop on his lap. "Jack, how long with it take?" I asked, getting a little impatient.

Jack was the leader of the Riders. A year older than me, he was Caucasian with blond hair that curled a little at the front. He wore glasses over his blue eyes as well as a black jacket over his blue shirt and jeans. Like me, he wore a blue tooth ear piece. Jack turned his head to face me. "They're almost past the front entrance," Jack stated. "Some of the alarms are still on, and who knows what so will happen when they go. We can't risk that, so we approach this carefully."

I sighed. "Alright."

I was quite anxious to get it. It had been so long since the others and I became Riders that I wanted to finally relax after so long. Not only that, it wasn't the first time I was inside that base. My mom used to work here for a while until she decided to quit. In fact, I was the one to suggest we come here. It seemed to be the perfect place and it was, but like Jack said, who knows if there's any alarms still on.

My thoughts were interrupted when he handed me the computer. "Take the computer," Jack told me as he stood up. "I'll give the orders and I want you to relay to them."

I nodded as I sat down on the concrete road, placing the computer on my lap. On the screen, I could a layout of the building. In the back entrance, I could see two red dots entering it. "Lina's securing the back entrance," I reported.

"Make sure she disables any alarms she sees," Jack ordered.

I nodded as I relayed the message to them. After that, I noticed three more red dots going in the middle of the layout. "Jacob, and Jason have just entered the complex," I announced as I looked up at Jack. "Want them to go to inside and open up the gate? "

He nodded and I gave them their orders. It didn't take too long for within twenty minutes or so, the wired gate opened up slowly, revealing the road that led inside of the military base. I stood up, closing the laptop and carrying it in my arm. Jack and I looked at each, wondering what might happened. I first went in, cautiously wondering what was going to happen. Seeing that nothing happened, I turned to Jack and smiled. "We're in."

Jack and I walked towards the center building of the entire military base. As we did, I saw Jack put a hand on his blue tooth, stating, "Guys, we're in. Meet us at the front of the center building."

With that said, Jack and I headed straight towards the building in the center of the entire base. The front door was transparent, revealing the lobby of the center building. As I looked up, I happened to notice there seemed to be a couple of windows there, but nothing more. 'We're going to have to make this place more lively if we're going to live here,' I thought.

My thoughts about this place were interrupted when we heard footsteps. Jack and I turned around to see more people walking towards us. They were the rest of our team. "About time, you guys got here," I said, smirking.

"Well, considering we had to take care of the alarms, I'd say we got here pretty fast," Jason said. Jason, same age as Jack, was Caucasian with short brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a blue jacket over his brown shirt and blue jeans. He wasn't really a Rider, but he was a good mechanic.

"Knock it out Jason," Jacob said, playfully nudging Jason in the arm. "Butting heads with Darren is my job."

Then there was Jacob, a nineteen-year-old Caucasian like Jack and Jason, but he was a little chubby with blond hair and blue eyes, wearing a blue sweater on top of his white shirt and jeans. Jacob and I would usually butt heads, but only just for fun and it was never taken seriously. I noticed Jack turned his head towards me. "What do you think Darren?" Jack asked.

"It's not bad," I commented, "but it needs some decorating."

It then I noticed something. One member of the Riders was missing. "Hey, wait!" I halted, making everyone look at me. "Where's Lina?"

We all turned around to see where the only female member of our group was. At first we didn't find her, but at the sound of footsteps, we turned to see her walking right out of the corner. "What took you so long, Lina?" Jacob asked.

Lina was of Indian descent, like me, and despite she was the shortest she was same age as everyone else. She had long black hair that reached past her shoulders as well as glasses over her brown eyes. Lina wore a white shirt and blue jeans over her body. "Sorry," she apologized as she walked towards us, "I got lost for a while."

"It's alright," Jack said as he stepped in front of everyone. "The fact is that everyone's here."

We all lines up, standing next to each other, while Jack stood in front of us, like a drill Sargent. "Alright," Jack began. "We will from now on we'll use this place as our permanent base. If anyone who happens to be passing by wishes to stay here, we'll let them. Also, we'll use it as haven for any refugees. And most importantly," he turned to face us, "this is our home so lets make it one!"

I couldn't help but grin at that. Jack was smart as a robot, but acted more human than any of us. He clasped his hands together. "Right let's get to work!"

Time sure passed since we arrived here. We took care of cleaning up the place and make it look more comfortable, and in no time at all, we were finished. Jack and Jason, who were good with computers, were able to install new alarms and security into the base. They're not really finished but they'll get it done. Lina decided to patrol outside of the base see if there was any intruders. Me... well, I pretty much just explore in the inside of this place.

Right now I was sitting on the rooftop of a building nearby the garage. I wore my usual clothing over my body. I sat on the edge, looking out into the sun that set on the horizon. I watched as the blue sky was filled with beautiful orange, red, and pink colors that displayed on the white clouds. I enjoyed it, remembering the last time I saw such a beautiful sunset.

My daze of the beautiful specter that laid before would be interrupted when I heard my blue tooth that I put in my pocket, ringing. Quickly, I put the blue tooth on my ear and answered it. "Yeah?"

Jason's voice came out of the end of the line, exclaiming, "Darren, where are you?"

I looked around to see I was next to the garage. "I'm at the garage," I stated. "What is it?"

"There's another meeting," Jason said, a hint of bitterness in his voice.

I let out a frustrated groan as I stood up and walked towards the exit of the roof top. Every now and again Jack would always have these meetings about strengthening the defenses of this place. I don't see why though because there hasn't been any attack from the Fangs, nor are there any refugees trying to enter here. I wasn't the only one to think that.

Still, I got up and walked through the exit of the rooftop. The long, gray stairs seemed to have no end, but I had to use them 'cause the elevators were broken. The stairs took me to the front entrance of the building, which I exited. The center building in the entire military base was quite a distance away from where I was standing, so I headed towards the garage.

I walked over to the garage where our bikes happened to be parked. We picked them up from old garbage and formed them into our own personal machines, thanks to Jacob and Jason. Anyway, there were five bikes lined up, but I was heading towards mine. It was a light blue motor bike with silver trimmings, and a matching helmet. I quickly mounted my bike, and turned it on, revving up the engines before I headed out.

As I drove on the concrete road, I got the strange feeling that someone was following me. However, I ignored the feeling as I focused on getting to the meeting. I don't think there would be anyone else who would want to come here. I'd bet not even the Fangs would want to come here.

Apparently I was wrong as a blast suddenly struck the road behind me, knocking me off my bike and onto my stomach. I quickly got up and looked to see who was responsible for that. Down the road I could see a figure walking towards me. This guy definitely wasn't apart of the Riders. He was... 'A Fang!' I recognized.

Though they weren't Riders, the Fangs were able to incorporate their own armor. I could tell as the guy was fully decked in black armor. He had metal plates all over his body and his helmet was covered by a round helmet with a large, white visor over the faceplate. In his hands was a black gun with a large barrel... pointed at me. 'Oh shoot!' I thought.

A red bolt of energy shot out of the barrel and headed towards me, which I dodged. I kept on dodging the bullets the the Rider fired at me, running towards some place that I could use for shelter. Fortunately for me, there was a nearby alley that I could use as I ran towards it. Once I reached the alley, I placed my back against the brick wall of one of the buildings that sandwiched the alley. I panted a little from dodging those blasts, and worried about that Rider coming over here. Speaking of the Rider, he was still firing his gun at me, his blasts hitting against the building I was using as a shield. "Darren?" I heard Jack call out from my blue tooth.

I let out a frustrated groan as I answered. "What is it!" I shouted into the blue tooth.

"Darren, what's going on?" Jack demanded. "Why haven't you shown up?"

"Sorry, but I'm kind of busy with this Fang!" I replied.

"There's a Fang in the base!" Jack repeated.

"YES!" I shouted to Jack. "Just get over here! There might be more!"

And I was right about there being more as I saw another energy blast heading towards me from above. I quickly rolled my body to the side, avoiding the blast, which hit the ground. I stood up to see another Fang, wearing identical armor, on the rooftop. 'I had to say it, didn't I?' I bitterly thought.

Despite that the first Fang was out in the road and would shoot me, I still ran out of the alley as fast as I could, avoiding blasts from both the Fangs. As I ran, I happen to notice my bike on the ground, still in one piece. I ran towards it and hid behind it, using my motorbike as shield. I only hoped that Jack would get here on time.

As the two Fangs kept on firing, I quickly reached down into my jacket and took my Deck out. The Deck was a light blue rectangular with a golden hexagon emblemed into the center and it had a slot on the right that showed cards sheathed in it. I held out my Deck in front of me and a silver belt materialized around my waist. It was metallic and it had a large rectangular buckle with an empty space in the center to slide my Deck in. On the right side of the belt was a rectangular case with a slit on it for me to slide my cards in.

I was going to slid the Deck into my buckle until I felt the force of a blast hit against my bike, sending me on my stomach. I gritted my teeth as I rolled onto my back to see the two Fangs now standing over me with the guns pointed at me. I had no time to waste. "Henshin!" I exclaimed as I slid my Deck into the buckle.
The Deck glowed silver silver energy and it it continue to glow until that it released in a single flash. The flash blinded the two Fangs, so I used this as an opportunity to kick the in the stomach with my legs, forcing them back. Now with some distance between us, I stood up as the flash engulfed my entire body. Once the flash retreated back into the Deck, I now stood as Kamen Rider Cyclone.

As Cyclone, I wore a black bodysuit underneath my blue dragonfly-motif armor. I had blue armor covering my upper body with two plates of green armor overing my chest. My blue shoulder guards were shaped dragonfly wings, and on my forearms and legs were sky blue gauntlets and boots. My round helmet was sky blue, like my gauntlets and boots, with a silver mouth guard and silver dragonfly wings that protruded from the top. Over my eyes was a dark blue visor that bulged out a little.

I placed my hand on my Deck and drew out a card. I slid it into the rectangular case on my belt, which was actually called a C-Reader (short for Card Reader). "Gun Vent!" my C-Reader announced.

A sky blue-colored gun appeared in my hand and I quickly fired it at the two Fangs before they had the chance to fire their own guns. Sparks flew off their armor as my bullets hit their armor. They backed off for a while, but it didn't seem to last that long as their raised their guns at me. My eyes widen at that for my bullets would usually work against the Fangs' armor.

I had no time to worry about that though as the two Fangs fired their weapons at me. I tried to avoid the blasts, but the blasts hit my chest plate, sending me flying into the air before my back hit the ground while my gun flew out of my hands. I used my right as leverage as I got up to see the two Fangs pointing the guns at me. I mentally cursed myself, seeing that there was no way out... or was there?

A blur shot over my head and towards the two Fangs, slamming them away from me. The blur stopped revealing itself to be... "Jack?" I thought aloud.

It was indeed Jack, aka Kamen Rider Lumen, standing before me. Lumen wore a black bodysuit underneath his silver and red armor. He had a thick, round, silver chest plate with a red stripe going down the center along with a black pattern on the side. His bulky, round shoulder guards were silver, unlike his gauntlets and boots, which were crimson red. His red helmet somewhat resembled of a futuristic samurai to me, with the black leaf-shaped eyes that had silver trimmings around it,a silver mouth guard, a black line going down the center, and mounted at the top of his head was a pair of silver firefly wings. The Deck in his belt was like mine, save for the fact it was red, not blue.

Lumen turned around and walked over towards me. "Need a hand?" Lumen asked as he offered me his hand.

I grinned as I accepted it. After Lumen helped me to my feet, I noticed the two Fangs were ready to get up, but two more blurs slammed into them, sending the flying a few yards away from us. The two blurs were Riders, more specifically, Jacob and Lina.

Jacob, Kamen Rider Sonic, stood there, wearing a black bodysuit underneath his chest armor that was made up two plate of orange metal. His black shoulder guards were round, and his gauntlets and boots were orange, like his chest plate. His helmet was like Lumen's save for the fact it was orange, and it had a split, silver mouth plate as well as a two black eye pieces. The Deck in his belt was orange, like his armor.

Kamen Rider Sakura, Lina, stood proudly in her white armor over her black bodysuit. Her gauntlets, boots, and chest armor was white with silver trimmings, while she also wore large white shoulder guards shaped like butterfly wings. Her helmet was shaped in a similar style to Lumen'\s and Sonic's, but Sakura's butterfly styled helmet had two antennae protruding from the forehead, where two white plates shaped like butterfly wings protruded as well. Over her mouth was a silver mouth guard and she had small red eyes. Her Deck was white like the rest of us.

"Did you really think I'd let you have all of the fun?" Sonic questioned as he looked over his shoulder at me.

I couldn't help but smirk underneath my mouth guard. "No," I said as Lumen and I walked next to Sonic and Sakura.

Before anyone of us could say anything back to the other, Sakura interrupted by saying, "Lets just focus on the Fangs."

I shrugged as I took a stance. "Fine."

With that, we all charged at the two Fangs. Sakura and I ganged up on one, while Lumen and Sonic took the other. After I knocked the Fang's gun out of his hand with a kick, Sakura landed a few punches on the Fang, forcing him back, but I spared no mercy as I kicked the Fang in the stomach. The kick sent him staggering back, but that didn't stop me as I charged at him. The Fang swung his right arm at me, but I raised my left arm to block it. It left him open as I forced him back when I kneed in the stomach.

As I fought the Fang, I noticed Sakura drew a card from her Deck and slid it into his C-Reader. "Cannon Vent!" Sakura's C-Reader announced.

A long, cylindrical bazooka-like cannon with a red tip appeared in Sakura's hands. Placing it on her shoulder, Sakura fired her cannon, white beams shooting out of the cannon. I was fortunate enough to back away in time for the white beams of energy to strike the Fang on the chest. The Fang dropped on one knee, weakened from the beams. I saw this as an opportunity as I drew a card from my Deck. "Final Vent!" came from my C-Reader as blue energy engulfed my entire right lower leg.

Charging at the Fang, I outstretched my right leg into a kick. "TAKE THIS!" I shouted as I planted my charged foot onto the Fang's chest plate.

I quickly landed my foot onto the ground to see the Fang flying into the air before skidding onto the ground. Once it stopped skidding, the Fang exploded into a blaze of smoke. With that Fang out of the way, I turned around to watch Lumen and Sonic fight their own Fang. "Shouldn't we help them?" Sakura asked.

Looking at her, I replied, "They can handle it."

Apparently, I was right as Sonic struck the Fang with a couple of jabs and punches to the chest. The Fang raised swung his fists at Sonic only for him to dodge it, leaving the Fang wide open for Lumen to send a roundhouse kick to his head. As the Fang staggered back, both Lumen and Sonic drew a card from their respective Decks. "Blaster Vent!" Lumen's C-Reader announced.

"Sword Vent!" came from Sonic's.

A cannon materialized on Lumen's left forearm, while two swords appeared in Sonic's hands. Lumen's cannon was large and cylindrical with plates of red on it as well as a handle that stuck out of it. Sonic's swords had silver, triangular blades with black handles and a gray cross guard. I watched with interest as Sonic charged at the Fang, while Lumen grabbed the handle on his cannon and aimed it at the Fang. The Fang dodged a couple of slashes from Sonic, but Lumen fired a ball of golden energy at the Fang. Sonic backed away from the Fang as the ball of energy struck it in the chest, sending it flying into a nearby building.

Once the Fang landed onto the ground with a thud, Lumen drew another card and slid it into his C-Reader. "Final Vent!" it announced.

Grabbing the handle on his cannon, Lumen aimed it at the Fang as a ball of golden energy formed at the tip. Pulling the trigger, Lumen's ball of golden energy shot out of the cannon and headed straight towards the Fang. The ball of energy hit the Fang right in the center of its chest armor, sending it flying into the air. The Fang exploded into a blaze of smoke while it was still in mid-air.

I whistled at that. "Not bad," I thought aloud as Sakura and I walked over to Lumen and Sonic.

Lumen looked at us. "Lets head back to base."

We all nodded at that as we headed back to base. It seemed it was over, but I got the feeling that this was the beginning...

AN: That's all I've got for now. I hope you enjoyed it, and please review to leave your thoughts on this idea. Unfortunately, it's not available to other authors.

Oh yeah, some of you might notice that I based the four Riders after the four B-Fighters from B-Fighter Kabuto, or Beetleborgs Metallix. Cyclone was based off Yanma(who I should mention was probably the only white guy on the show)/DragonBorg, Lumen (Latin for light) was from Genji/FireBorg, Sonic was Min/LightningBorg, and Sakura was based off of Ageha/LadyBorg. Thought you should know.

Anyway, that's all I have and please leave comments and constructive when you review. That's all-Raika out!
