Disclaimer: I don't own anything! I don't own Teen Titans, Kamen Rider, or Doctor Who! I own just my OCs, the Gate Riders!

AN: Before I decided to give up on Tales of the Gate Riders, I had this idea, as well as the whole Red X thing, for future chapters. Thought I should just show you what I had, so here it is!

PS: Before we start, Maru is Raven's grandfather, which was inspired by the relationship between the Doctor and his granddaughter, Susan, from the classic Doctor Who serials. I just wanted to make that clear for any new readers.

Maru's exile on Earth allowed him to spend some time with his granddaughter, the Titan known as Raven, who was also the daughter of the demon Trigon. Usually, they spent time reading, examining spells, and sometimes even argue their views over science and magic. However, they usually spent most of their time together telling stories. As Maru told Raven of his adventures, she told Maru many tales of her time with Titans, how they were able to conquer many evils and bring justice. To the golden Gate Rider, it seemed like his granddaughter was in good company. However, Maru's time with Raven was cut short when he sensed something was off. Curious, Maru left the Tower to investigate the source of the disturbance.

Now, Maru stood there on the edge one of the tower of the skyscraper in his armored form, his green eyes glaring at the person on the other tower across from the golden Gate Rider. That person was none other than Malchior, the dragon who was sealed away in a book by the sorcerer known as Rorek. From what the Titans told Maru of Malchior was enough. He manipulated Maru's granddaughter into into freeing from his prison, but the Titans were successful in sealing him away. However, it left an emotional impact on Raven, something that Maru never wanted to see on his own family members.

How Malchior freed himself from the book was a mystery to Maru, but his appearance was even more curious. His new form was that of a humanoid dragon with silver scales as well as sharp claws and teeth. He had long horns protruding from his forehead, right above his red eyes. Maru would have mistaken Malchior as one of the robotic dragons known as the Dracons if it wasn't for the fact Malchior was organic.

"Malchior," Maru growled as he gripped the spear in his hand.

"Yes that is my name," Malchior grinned. "So nice of you to answer my call."

Maru's eyes widen underneath his helmet, realizing the disturbance came from him. "What do you want?" Maru demanded.

Malchior answered, "I want to get revenge on the Titans for sealing me back, but to do that, I need to get rid of you."

"And what makes you think you can do that?" Maru questioned. "Many thought they could kill me, but ended up meeting my blade. You can't win."

"Well then," Machior asked as two katanas appeared in his hands, "lets test that, shall we?"

With that, the two leapt from their spots and headed towards each other. The two crashed into each other. Maru and Malchior didn't separate and began to descend to the ground as they began their fight.

Malchior kneed Maru in the stomach, but he didn't budge. Malchior swung one of his katanas at his opponent's head, but Maru ducked and brought his sword up to block a slash. Sparks flew as their blades locked. Malchior broke it by bring up his other katana, but it left his open for Maru to kick him. He jerked a bit at the kick, but regain his composure as he kicked Maru in the stomach. They separated from each other as they skidded down the windows and wall of their skyscraper before both jumped at each other to resume their battle...

"Can you sense him, Raven?" Robin asked Raven as he drove his motorcycle.

After a moment of concentrating, Raven nodded. "I can, but I can't pinpoint it."

After Maru left the Tower, Raven sensed something was wrong, so she immediately notified the other Titans, as well as the other Gate Riders, Lunar and Solar, who were in the Tower. Now, Raven and Starfire flew through the sky while the others were on the road, Cyborg and Beast Boy in the cybernetic Titan's T-Car, while Lunar, Solar, and Robin rode their own motorbikes. Lunar and Solar's bikes looked the same like Robin's save for the color scheme that were white, and red, respectively. For a while, they have been looking for Maru with little to no success.

"I see them!" Starfire announced as she pointed towards the skyscrapers.

The others looked to where the Tameranian was pointing to see two skyscrapes with large sparks of flashes appearing at random space in between them. "It's him!" Solar recognized. "Only Maru would go at full force like that."

With that Solar and Lunar sped off towards the skyscrapers. "Titans, GO!" Robin shouted as he and his team followed the Gate Riders.

'Please be alright,' Raven hoped.

The blades of Malchior and Maru clashed as they went passed each other. They stopped and pushed off the sides of the skyscrapers to charge at each other again. Like before their weapons crashed, but they didn't separate after that. They still sent slashes and parries at each other. Neither one could best the other as they separated.

As they fell, Maru hovered above Malchior before he came down to strike at him with his spear but he blocked the attack as Maru went past him. Maru somersaulted in the air a bit as Malchior sped up to be at the same level with him. They charged at each other and their impact of their blades caused them to repel against each other, but the Gate Rider and dragon to have a close proximity. Maru slashed his spear at Malchior, who parried it. Maru grabbed Malchior's other arm and slashed his spear downward, striking the renegade Gate Rider on the chest. However, it did little as Malchior slammed his head into Maru's. "GAH!" Maru shouted.

The impact left Maru drifting in the air as Malchior threw his swords into the air and did a flip before catching them in a reversed grip. Using this opportunity, Malchior rammed into Maru, slamming him into the wall of the skyscraper. Since they were falling, glass and concrete flew as Maru's back skidded against the wall. The two were in a grip lock with each other, trying to make sure one's blade hit them. Maru, soon got his back off of the skyscraper wall, as Malchior broke his right arm free of the lock and swung the sword in his free hand at Maru.

Maru raised his left arm to block Malchior's sword, but he still slammed the flat end of his sword into Maru's helmet, sending the Gate Rider below Malchior. Maru pressed his feet against the wall, slowing down his fall, but Malchior did the same and pointed his sword at Maru as he charged forward. He caught Malchior's blade with both hands, but felt the stinging pain of the energy blade. Maru leapt from the skyscraper to kick Malchior in the chest, forcing him back as Maru's feet returned to the skyscraper's wall.

As they slid down the skyscraper, Maru slashed his spear at Malchior, who ducked. The two brought their blades up, parrying each other's attacks. The two ended up in a lock, and they floated from the wall. Malchior brought his sword up to strike, but Maru parried it as well as the other sword that Malchior tried to bring up to strike. The dragon swung his swords down for Maru to parry them, but it left him open for Malchior to kick him in the chest, sending his back sliding onto the glass and concrete as Malchior returned to the skyscraper's wall.

Malchior used this advantage by bringing his swords back as he prepared to slash. Maru saw this coming and immediately, stabbed his spear into the wall, slowing his descent. Malchior leapt from the wall and charged at Maru, but to Malchior's suprise, Maru back flipped over his charging opponent before 'landing' back on the wall and stabbing his spear into it, stopping his fall. Malchior found himself free falling before turning around to see Maru falling towards him... with his charged up spear. "RAAAAAAAAAGGGGGH!" Maru shouted as he slashed a golden energy wave at Malchior.

The energy wave hit him, and the sound of glass breaking could be heard as energy burst from Malchior's chest in the form of small shards before Malchior's body crashed onto the ground. Maru, on the other hand, descended on the ground as his armor broke off of him.

Maru stood over Malchior's body. He noticed Malchior's hand twitched a bit. 'Still alive,' he thought as he raised his spear over his head. 'Time to end this!'

AN: That's all I wrote. Now I know the format isn't that good like my other stories, and so far of what I've shown of Tales of the Gate Riders, this is pretty weak. Still, please leave a review, stating your comments and if you have criticism, then please let it be constructive! Also, this idea can be adopted by other authors, just please send me a PM or an email letting me know, and we can discuss it from there.

Oh yes, before I forget to mention, I based the fight scene between Malchior and Maru from the fight scene in episode 7 of GARO. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, then please find a clip of it on YouTube.

That's all-Raika out!
