It was a regular Friday afternoon that was covered in the afternoon sun. Minutes had passed since the bell had rung to let every student to depart from high school, and they all have arrived at their home, one young teenage boy in particular. He was your typical nerdy kid, who took what most would consider tough classes, and not socialize with others that much.
Shutting the door behind him, the teen entered his study room that was comprised of his desk, a black laptop on top of it, and drawers on the sides that were filled with papers and pencils. After putting his backpack on the floor, the teen flopped onto his chair as he turned on his computer. The first thing to appear on the screen was a document called "Kamen Rider Arch."
As to why there's a document called "Kamen Rider Arch" on the computer screen, the answer was simple: the teen was a fanfiction writer. For sometime, the teen had written his own fanfiction, specifically Kamen Rider fanfiction. At first, the teen only wrote fanfiction for his sole entertainment, but after seeing other recent fanfics, the teen decided to join a website that posted fanction called "Fanfiction-dot-net." So far, the teen had only posted a few stories, like "Kamen Rider Talon" and "Kamen Rider Nova: Reign of the Century Kings," but in his mind, there were dozens of ideas for future stories.
"Alright, here goes," the teen said as he began to register.
Before he could answer his own question, a bright light covered the screen of the teen's computer. The teen leaned forward in shock at this development. "What is this?" he asked in shock.
Suddenly, the light glowed brighter and brighter until it released a flash of energy that engulfed the teen's body...
Black was all the teen could see at first until he opened his eyes to see a blurred vision of the sky. The teen sat up, groaning in pain as he placed a hand on his head. "Ow," the teen groaned as he winced in pain from the aches he felt on his head. "What the heck what that?"
The teen opened his eyes and his mind was filled with more questions as he saw before him a vast forest of large trees and green grass that went on for miles and miles. What the teen found even more shocking was that the entire area was made up digital numbers and letters. "And where am I?" the teen asked himself.
"To put it simply, you're in cyberspace," a masculine voice answered.
The teen turned around to see the owner of the voice was a brown robed figure who wore a hood over his head as well as black gloves and boots. The teen looked at the robed figure with skepticism. "Cyberspace?" the teen repeated as he looked around his surroundings. "You can't be serious!"
"Oh, but I am," the brown robed figure said. "It's probably hard for you to understand, but your inside of your computer."
"What!" the teen shouted with even more confusion. "Just what is going on?"
The robed figure let out a small sigh as he held out his hand towards the teen. "Just touch my hand and all will be explained."
The teen cautiously reached out his own hand to touch the hand of the robed figure. Once contact was met, a jolt of electricity shot from the robed figure's hand to the teen's, making him jump back quickly. The teen grabbed his head from a jolt of pain as information flowed into the teen's mind. His eyes glowed with pure white energy, while the teen tried to prevent himself from screaming in pain.
Once the pain passed, so did the flow of information as the teen straightened his back so he was standing straight. The teen looked at the robed figure. "So what you're saying is true," the teen said, shocked at this information. "I am in cyberspace."
The robed figure nodded. "My name is Magi by the way, an antivirus being," the robed figure, Magi, introduced. "The one who also brought you here."
"You brought me here?", the teen pointed a finger at Magi, who nodded at his question. "Why me?"
"You've recently joined a website named fanfiction-dot-net," Magi stated. "Well, some who join that site are given special privileges."
The teen looked at Magi with piqued curiousity. "What kind of privileges?"
Magi simply stared at the teen as a band of light shot out of Magi's right hand and wrapped around the teen's waist. The light died down revealing a silver belt with a black gem in the center of his rectangular buckle that also had a small button on the top. The teen looked down at the belt with shock, for he knew what the belt's function was as his eyes widen in shock. 'No way,' the teen thought.
The teen looked up at Magi. "You mean I can become a Rider?" the teen asked with some joy in his voice.
Magi nodded. "Just press the button on the top of the buckle to activate it."
Waves of both joy and shock spread over the teen's body like wildfire as he continued to look at his belt. However, the feeling was replaced by confusion as the teen looked at Magi. "But wait, why am I getting this now?" the teen asked. "Shouldn't I have gotten this when I first joined?"
"Usually, yes, but I've been holding onto yours for a while in case of an emergency," Magi explained. "And now is one of them."
The teen narrowed his eyes in suspicion. "What do you mean?"
"For a while now, there have been computer viruses entering here and I'm having trouble dealing with them." "And I want your help?"
Still, the teen felt skeptic about this whole situation as he continued to give the antivirus software being a suspicious look. "What makes you think I'll help you?" the teen questioned
"Simple," Magi answered as he smiled underneath his hood, "if you don't help me, then you won't be able to find a way out of this place."
"What?" the teen shouted as he rushed towards Magi. "You send me back home right now!"
"You first help me and then I'll let you go," Magi said, playfully wagging his finger in front of his hooded face.
The teen withheld his anger as he gritted his teeth and curled his hands into fists, knowing Magi was right. "Fine, I'll help you, but you have to promise me you'll send me back home!" the teen huffed as he backed away. "So, what do you want me to do?"
"Find a silver, pyramid-shaped temple," Magi instructed. "There will meet and discuss a way to defeat the viruses. Until we meet, good luck."
With that, Magi suddenly faded away into thin air. "Wait!" the teen called out, but it was too late for Magi was already gone, leaving him all by himself.
'This is just great,' the teen bitterly thought as he walked down the forest. 'First I'm taken from my home against my own will, and brought here to fight for some guy who has the power to fix his own problems!'
For sometime, the teen walked the floor of the forest, looking for the temple that Magi spoke of. As he did, the teen tried to get rid of his anger, cursing at Magi and wishing horrible thing done to the antivirus being, but Magi was the only who could bring the teen back home, so there was no other way. 'Why did this have to happen now?' the teen exasperatedly sighed. 'Why can't I just be home?'
His thoughts were interrupted when he saw an object in the distance. Whatever it was, the teen hoped that it was his destination that Magi gave him, so he immediately headed towards it. When the armored teen arrived at his destination, his eyes widen as he saw that the object turned out to be a large, gray temple shaped like an Aztec pyramid, covered in a unique chrome silver color and had ancient markings all over it. It also had a vertical staircase that led up to the main chamber.
Before he could even explore the temple, the teen saw the familiar figure of Magi walking down the steps. "Well, you've made it time," Magi stated as he walked down the vertical stairs.
The teen glared at Magi, remembering that he was here against his will in the first place, but held it in. "Why are we meeting here?" the teen asked before looking at the main chamber on top of the temple. "And what's in there?"
Before Magi could answer, the sounds of high-pitch screech made him and the teen turn around to see a creature unlike anything the teen had seen before. The creature was humanoid with a completely pitch black body as well as yellow pupil-less eyes and claws on its hands and feet. It opened its mouth to reveal a gooey-like mouth. To make matters worse there were two more of these creatures. "This is what a virus looks like?," the teen asked.
"Yeah," Magi nodded as he grabbed his robe. "Now let's take them down!"
With that, Magi threw off his robe from his body, revealing his true form, which shocked the teen to see that Magi's form was a white version of the virus creatures in front of him. "Don't just stand there!" Magi told the teen, bringing him back to reality. "Transform!"
The teen nodded as he pressed the button on the top of his buckle down. "Henshin!"
A bright flash of silver energy erupted from the white gem and engulfed the teen's body. Once the flash of energy retracted back into the buckle, an armored figure stood in the teen's place. His name was Kamen Rider Raika.
Raika wore a green hooded sweatshirt underneath his black chest plate. The green sleeves were tucked into the black gauntlets, which was the same for the gray pants that were tucked into his black boots. Emblemed on his left gauntlet was a white 'R' and on the underside was a small, silver barrel. Over his head was a green hood with a black visor and a silver metal mask. Hanging from his silver belt was a green Gaia Memory with black stripes and a stylized R on it.
Before Raika had the chance to marvel his Rider form, one of the virus creatures immediately charged at Raika, swiping its claws at his chest plate, which send him sprawling back. 'How can I beat this thing?' Raika screamed in his head as he stood.
He then remembered the Gaia Memory hanging from his belt and once unhooking them, he pressed the button on it and with the announcement of "RAIKA!", it grew three times in length and a black blade of energy protruded from the tip. 'A lightsaber?' Raika asked himself.
Before he even had the chance to ask, Raika saw the black virus creature charging at him, its right claw raised high above its head. As if on instinct, Raika raised his black energy blade in time to block the claw before firing green bolts of energy at its chest from the barrel on his left gauntlet . The virus creature let out a shriek of pain as it was forced back by the slash from Raika's blade. "Did I do that?" Raika wondered as he stared at his armored form with amazement.
Raika turned his wonder away from his weapons as he looked at the virus creature he was fighting, who was now charging at him. Again, it lashed out its claw at Raika who blocked it with his weapon before striking the virus creature's chest with a punch. Raika continued his assault landing his the black energy blade of his Gaia Memory onto the black virus creature, who never had the chance to defend itself from Raika's slashes as it was forced back with every slash.
As he continued his assault, information poured into Raika's mind that explained the schematics of his weapons. Once it was done, Raika immediately stopped his flurry of slashes and instead used his weapon to slash at the virus creature's legs, which made it fall onto the ground. Before it had the chance to get up, Raika held down the button on his Gaia Memory that acted as the hilt, making it announced, "RAIKA-MAXIMUM DRIVE!" while the black energy blades brighten even more with energy.
Quickly Raika, stabbed his weapon into the virus creature and it let out a screech of pain as it faded away into nothing. "Incredible," Raika said as he looked at his armor with amazement.
However, his attention from his armor was turned towards Magi as the antivirus creature fought against the other two remaining viruses. Magi avoid slashes from two of them and he spat two white balls of energy from his mouth, each one hitting the virus creatures in the chest, which forced them back. However, the two viruses just charged against, spitting out their own black balls of energy at Magi, who avoided the first barrage, but was hit by a couple. That was all that was needed for the virus creatures as one of them struck its claw at Magi, forcing him back. The other brought both of its claws upon Magi, sending the antivirus being sprawling to the ground.
Immediately, Raika ran to Magi's assistance, as he swung his black blade at the two virus creatures, who leaped backwards to avoid the slashes. Quickly, Raika backed away towards Magi's side and asked, "Are you alright?"
"Thanks," Magi said as he stood up, placing a clawed hand over his chest.
At first, Raika felt a tinge of happiness from receiving thanks from Magi, but it was crushed when he remembered about why he need the antivirus being alive. "You're my only hope of getting home," Raika harshly stated as he looked at the two virus creatures. "You're no use to me dead."
Magi just shrugged a little before turning his attention towards the two viruses in front of him and Raika, who happened to be charging at them. Magi spat out more white energy balls at the feet of two viruses, who halted in time to not be hit by the two white blasts. This gave Raika the opportunity to charge forward as he slashed his black energy black across their chest and fired the barrel on the underside of his gauntlet, forcing them back. Again, more information quickly poured into Raika's mind and once it was finished, Raika deactivated the Gaia Memory's energy blade and hooked it to his belt before charging at the viruses.
As he charged forward, energy began collecting at Raika's right foot with each step that he took to get closer to the two black creatures. Magi knew what Raika was doing, so to stall the virus creatures, he spat more white energy balls that struck one of them in the chest. Before that virus had the chance to move, Raika leaped into the air and kicked his energized right foot out to strike the virus creature in the chest, making it explode into a blaze of smoke. The smoke cleared away, revealing Raika who landed his two feet onto the ground.
The other virus creature stared at Raika in fear, worried of what he might to it next, so he turned around to run away only to run into Magi. Before the virus creature had the chance to react, Magi quickly stabbed his claws into the virus creature's stomach and it let out a screech of anguish as it faded away into nothingness. "Well, that's that," Magi said as he dusted his palms.
Raika turned to Magi. "Alright, I've done what you asked me," Raika told Magi, gaining his attention. "Now send me back home."
Magi sighed as he looked at Raika. "Very well," Magi said as raised his claws hand at Raika.
The hand glowed with silver energy before lancing towards Raika and swirling around his body. As it did, Magi remembered one thing. "Before you go, you should know that you can from now on enter and leave this place whenever you wish," Magi pointed out. "You couldn't before because you didn't activate your armor."
Once Raika heard that, he could not help but roll his eyes underneath his visor. "Now you tell me," Raika sighed before looking at Magi. "Still, thanks."
With that, both were smiling as Raika left the world of data and returned to his own. Though this one jobs was finished, they both had a feeling that this was just the beginning.
AN: Right, this idea here was meant to be a made up origin story for KR Raika. Why I did this? I honestly have no idea why, I just came up with the idea one day that Raika should have a backstory and wrote this. I gave up on it though.
Anyway, please leave a review to let know what you thought about this and if you have any criticism, please let it be constructive. Also, this idea is NOT up for adoption! Thank you.
Raika out!
