Kamen Rider Black BGM- Emotion
On the horizon, within the large area of Beika (*1), Jouji Minami, holding his bag, could see the afternoon sunset that would shine down from above, overlaying the scenery of what may be likened to a painting found in a museum.
"Hey, Jouji."
After admiring the sunset, he looks at a young man with straight brown hair that reaches down to his neck and amber-brown eyes. He was wearing the same high school uniform the former was wearing; a dark blue blazer, whose left chest side had the logo of a silver hourglass and a blue-green globe and a red necktie (*2), with dark blue pants and black shoes.
"You okay?" The young man, Souta Mizushino, would ask as he was holding his bag. Jouji could tell the concerned tone from his voice. He probably noticed that he was spacing out a bit again.
"...Hm," He nodded. "I'm fine. What were you saying again, Souta?"
"...I was gonna tell you that I better head off from here since I have other plans and all."
He understood what the young man met. "Ah, yeah, you better go. You don't want to be late for that date of yours."
"Right, cool man, I'll see you around."
"You too."
The two young men begin to perform a handshake reminiscent of two popular characters of a certain popular anime and light novel (*3); then they both go their separate ways, and Jouji would head home, walking down quietly through the streets of the urban neighborhood.
It was the first week of school, and yet he still kind of missed summer vacation already. But well, time doesn't stop to conform to anyone's desires, does it?
...Oh right, I'm probably the only one that would be at the house right now. Tou-san is busy taking care of a case back in America while Kaa-san is busy at work. So that just leaves me and Stewart.
Not to mention, he would be alone while watching his secret hobby of his. Maybe calling it a secret hobby is a bit much, but he doesn't tell most of anybody about it. He doesn't go screaming it energetically on top of the heavens like that anime character who screams GUTS! every single time. However, that doesn't mean this hobby wasn't precious to his heart.
Everybody has hobbies. Jouji has his. His parents knew it. Souta knew it. Some people knew it. Not that big of a deal for him if some people know.
His hobby?
The magical girl genre. His current main line of thought directs itself to a franchise that has been a thing since 2004. Pretty Cure, or PreCure. He had been watching it since he was about nine years old, and he remembered loving it. Since then, he'd been following that franchise, inspired by the lessons and examples that every season gave him. Something about it felt... like it fulfilled something in him. He could not describe it as adequately as he hoped.
He could say a lot of things to justify his liking for PreCure. There's the heavy action. There's a bit of conflict within the characters. There's the episodic moments from time to time. There's a lot of things to like. There's no season of that franchise that he hated. Everything and every one of the main characters of that franchise resonates with him in a way that he just could not explain.
...Other than it filled the void within his own soul.
...(Sigh), After all of these years, I still can't remember a damn thing about my past, huh.
He shakes his head. Oh, how he wished he could be at least like his father on the outside. Charismatic and happy. That's not to say that he isn't happy. He is. He's very much happy. But... he still thinks about the things that he lost... his memories. That was that void that seemed to be deeply embedded within his heart and soul. He desired to find something about his identity. Perhaps that's why PreCure resonated with him. It encourages him to find that identity. Or rather, what path he could potentially walk in the future?
Everybody had dreams. But Jouji did not know what kind of dream he would want. Maybe he could try performing public services like being a police officer, or a medical doctor, or a firefighter, or anything. Or one could strive to be the best in the corporate world. But he knew that the working problems of the nation left a lot to be desired. What about becoming a politician then? And end up dealing with men with corrupted ideals? In a world where people are still scared of the idea that their government is under the control of a conspiracy? Or maybe he could become a teacher instead? But what exactly can he teach the next generation about that most people would probably do a better job than he could?
No matter what potential future he tries to choose, it always seems to be a dead end.
He may be young and still in his first year of high school, but this does not stop him from thinking about the future.
Eventually, he finds himself standing near the gate of his family home, or mansion in this case.
"Raff! Ruff!"
As he opens and closes the gate, he is greeted by the family dog. A German Shepherd. With a burst of excitement, he would run towards the young man and raise his legs to lick him.
"Hmm, hey boy, you miss me already, huh?" Jouji flashed a smile as he petted the head of his beloved companion.
"Ruff!"
The young man and his canine friend would head to the front door, with the former getting his key, opening the door, and heading inside.
"I'm home!"
He would say, but he knew that there was nobody around. Taking off his outdoor shoes and slipping into indoor shoes, he would head to the kitchen, passing through the wide open spaces of the larger-in-life mansion. There are no fancy chandeliers or anything. It's just simple lighting that you could find in any suburban house. Taking a bowl, he would fill it with dog food and give it to the excited Stewart who jumps for joy before he digs in to enjoy his meal.
"Enjoy the meal, boy, you've earned it."
"Raft!"
Afterward, he heads upstairs to his bedroom. Located around the second floor, he would quickly enter his room and shut the door before getting ready to watch a few episodes of the new season of PreCure (*4).
...Though he noticed something as he turned around. No, someone.
"Eh..."
A soft, squeaking voice, one of surprise, and it was not him. Rather, it was someone who... admittedly looked like... dare he say it, the magical girl heroine that he admired and whose season was the first that he watched.
Now, most people would probably demand an explanation for why was this person in their bedroom. Some may even wonder if this person was a thief, cosplaying as a magical girl, and maybe a bit troubled that they were even in their room at all.
But he wasn't thinking about all of that.
He was just... silent.
His eyes were more focused on analyzing the person who was a few meters away, standing in front of him.
It was a young woman, a bit short in height, but had a very beautiful face; had long, light pink wavy hair and a pair of buns on top that were held by red ribbons and daisies. Her eyes were lighter and her eyelashes were thicker. On her lips were clear, red lipstick. Her clothes were an iconic pink and white midriff top with three white and gold button straps in the middle. Her translucent sleeves are puffy and off-the-shoulder. On her wrists, there were light yellow wristbands that resembled pom-poms with light pink ribbons, giving her a cheerleader vibe. She had short light pink and magenta boots with red bows and yellow pom-pom trim with white thigh-high socks. He could see worn accessories which included a pearl headpiece with a pink heart on it and green clover earrings.
Overall, she looked... she looked like a queen for him.
"...Eh, umm, eto..."
The woman was a bit self-conscious and embarrassed. She was starting to notice that the young man had been quiet for a while. He was barely reacting and was only staring at her.
"I'm sorry!" The woman bowed her head for a bit before looking at the young man. "I, umm, this may sound hard to believe, but I don't know where I am and all, so..."
The woman stopped talking for a bit, glancing sideways to see a poster that had an image of a magical girl that looked just like her, pasted to the wall, alongside the image of a man with a black armored suit, a partial infinity symbol found on the chest, red eyes, silver mouthpiece, and grasshopper-like face which was drawn by a famous mangaka artist (*5).
"Umm, actually," The woman looked at Jouji with a concerned tone, pointing a little to the poster on the wall. "Why... Why is there a poster of me in this room?"
He did not know why...
...Cure...
He did not know why...
...Yell...
But...
...
...
...
He felt his heart clenched at the sight of this woman. Something, pounding! His head ached. It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts! It hurts!

He could not breathe. His nerves were wracking like crazy. He tried to keep focus, but his vision was slowly blinking out. All he saw last was the young woman looking shocked and worried as she tried to talk to him. But he could not heart anything. His ears felt deaf. Like it was ringing. He felt like he was falling down, very, very slowly.
He could not feel anything except being able to see the woman's face as she seems to be shouting. Though he could not hear her.
...I.
The only thing that he could utter before blacking out was trying to call someone, someone important to him.
...Tou-san.
Right as the dawn was receding, giving a deep orange taint to the upcoming night, a young man was standing on the roof of a suburban house overlooking the mansion. He had a grey hooded robe and carried some kind of book, which he opened and supported with his hand, as it stretched out like a prophet of old; proclaiming the precursor for the good news of salvation.
"...Iwae, for the time has now come for the curtains of fate and destiny to arise. Thus, one of my lieges had finally met the flower of his field; a future queen whose warm fragrance would spread near and far. As events are now set into motion, the pathways of a king are written in various perspectives. But a simple scapegoat, my liege will not be, for the turn of the century demands its rightful ruler, a grander route that, instead of painted desires of black and white, would be dyed in the color of grey. Thus says the Holy Book."
He smiled softly as he clenched his hand.
光の戦士 · Takayuki Miyauchi
On the other side of the planet, in the hot hours of the morning, there was smoke arising from the harbors of Gotham City. Echoes of blaster fire were heard to resound as both Gotham's finest were engaging terrorist soldiers wearing dark green military attire and yellow snake masks that covered their faces except for their mouths and white eyes.
But these soldiers would face an enemy that struck terror into their hearts. And it was not the eponymous Dark Knight.
"It's RX, open fire!"
The terrorists would try to fire at the hero, unleashing yellow energy-generated beams of light, against somebody who was charging straight at them with only a bright bluish-white lightsaber in his hand, that he used to reflect the blasts back towards the guns of the terrorists, dismantling them; some of which exploded and send some of the soldiers crashing towards the floor or nearby walls.
The hero had full body armor, with a mixture of black and dark green colors, with black and dark green shoulder pads, black gloves, and black boots. He also had a silver belt with a bronze rectangle in the center with two red stones vertically attached. He had a silver mouthpiece, large red eyes, and two thin silver antennae. His helmet resembled the Green Milkweed Grasshopper. And on the left side of his chest was a golden-colored symbol with a strange design that looked like a modified "RX".
He was Kohtaro Minami - Kamen Rider Black RX.
And the men he was fighting belonged to none other than the terrorist organization Kobra (*6).
With acrobatic skill and prowess, he would swiftly dodge all of the shots and reflect them. He also performed numerous punches and kicks in quick succession, which the soldiers never saw coming, for it was likened to the blink of an eye. Sure enough, some tried to tackle him with their physical prowess, but it did not avail to anything.
"Oof!"
RX would punch the last soldier with his fist, knocking him towards the wall of a nearby crate, causing a bruise to form amidst the clanking metal.
"Sssst!"
He heard the sound of a snake from behind, turning around to find a dark green reptilian humanoid creature whose face resembled a snake with yellow sharp eyes.
"Damn you, RX!" The snake man seethed as he raised his sharp-as-nail claws. "You and that flying rodent from Gotham may have foiled our plans here, but this is only just merely the beginning."
"Hm. That's what you always say," RX would speak as he makes a battle stance. "But your kind of evil will never succeed, not as long as I and any other hero in this world would be alive to fight the evil that your kind represents."
The snake man smirked a bit. "Hmm. You call us evil, RX, but you are wrong, for a New World Order is about to arise soon enough... and of course, your son will be the one to lead us to that glory."
"What?!" Black RX's anger flared, and his red bug eyes glowed. His heart grew weary and concerned at the same time as this was the first time he found out about the enemy's intent. He dared to mention his son in his spout of pure insanity and unadulterated evil?! Unforgivable!
Then, the snake man would begin to spout acid from its mouth, but RX would begin to slice the acid in two and evaporate it with his saber which he twists circularly. He would jump toward the kaijin and would engage him in battle.
"All units, this is Gordon," A tall man with grey hair, grey mustache, and glasses, somewhere around his late 40s to early 50s, wearing a brown trenchcoat and dark red necktie amidst his white collar shirt, holding an advanced pistol, would call all of his men through his comm-link. "Leave that monster to RX, focus your efforts on rounding up the remaining soldiers in the harbor."
"Yes sir," one of the SWAT members spoke from the comms. "Alright, you heard him, men, let's move out."
RX and the snake kaijin were faster than the human eye. With a furious yet focused blaze, RX would begin to twirl his saber with each thrust and slash, with each being precise with the intent to kill. But the kaijin proved to be formidable and difficult to tag due to its snake-like movements which allowed the latter to dodge with every swift and strike. After a few moments of slashing, RX would instantly think of something to counter this ability. He made use of a slash attack, which made the kaijin evade, something that RX was counting on.
The kaijin jumped high and landed on the metal shipping box that was a few meters away.
Then, RX, raising his right hand and making a pose, would transform into one of his forms, the Prince of Sadness - Roborider, and using his gun, would aim at the monster and fire a beam of pure energy at the latter.
"Ah!"
The monster was hit. A perfect shot. He did not have time to dodge because the gun that RX uses never misses, designed to always have perfect high accuracy. The monster would fall and crash down on the ground, disheveled. As he tries to get up, Roborider instantly transforms back into Black RX; with supersonic speed and momentum, in one strike, he unleashed an attack by jumping high, performing a twisting kick maneuver.
"RX Kick!"
He shouts while his charged-up legs would greatly provide a concussive force that impacted the chest of the snake kaijin, sending it flying away for several meters before hitting the ground; at the same time, RX lands on the ground and face the monster.
As the monster was almost on its last legs, feeling the spark of energy from the kick he received, he would try to stand up and make a final boast, a declaration of seemingly sure yet elusive victory.
"Hehehehe! This world is... ours, RX! A new... Century King of the 21st Century is coming... and your son will be that king, hahahahaha! Hail, Kali-Yuga!"
With a final battle cry, as he raises his sharp claws, he explodes into nothing but an orange cloud of flames, leaving nothing but dust and ashes.
And despite the victory, the words that he left behind continued to haunt RX as he pondered this ominous warning that waged war over his troubled heart.
The snake monster raises his hands before exploding into nothing but an orange cloud of flame.
Despite the victory against the monster, its words continued to haunt Black RX as he pondered this ominous warning from his troubled heart.
He stood up and reflected.
A new Century King?! His son?!
No!
He shouted and thought out of worry. He doesn't want any of that to happen to his son; he doesn't want his son to follow the same fate that he had experienced so many years ago. Memories of long, long ago in the past century would shroud and cloud his mind. Memories of losing his father, as he felt his dying apologetic breath. Memories of losing a brother, whom he was forced to fight. Memories of death and destruction, the families that were torn apart, the loved ones that were lost, the allies who gave up their lives, caused by an ancient cult that had destroyed his life and that of his family. The horrid atrocities were still present in his mind and heart. He can never forget it. It was all in the name of an ancient cyclic battle between powerful god-like kings known as Century Kings, the ultimate lifeforms in existence.
All of that and more...
He doesn't want any of that to be bestowed on his very own son...
"...Tou-san."
"Ah!"
He widened his eyes, turning around as he heard the echoing voice. His son's voice?
"Jouji!" He muttered softly as he looked up at the heavens, with the sun shining down on him.
"RX."
He glances to his shoulder and sees a tall man wearing a state-of-the-art batsuit and cowl. The suit, in particular, was highly advanced, designed with flexible plates overlaying an MR-fluid (magnetorheological fluid) armor layer, and incorporating the latest in cutting-edge technology. He recognizes the man as Batman, the local hero of Gotham City, and an old friend.
"What is it?" The man inquired.
"...Batman," he spoke softly out of worry. "...I, it's my son."
"Your son?"
"The monster I fought just now, he mentioned my son... and he mentioned how he was chosen to be a Century King, just like me."
"Do you think it's possible that the monster was lying?" The man countered rationally. "What Gorgom did to you hasn't really been a secret to many HYDRA cells like Kobra for a long time."
"It's...It's possible, but..." He spoke softly. "I heard him, Batman, I heard my son's voice calling to me." He looks up to the sky. "I need to head back to Japan, at least to make absolutely sure that he's alright."

OP Song:
Iczer 1 OST - Eien no Iczer1
yoake no machi o hitori de aruki tsuzuketa
namida ga asahi o abi kagayaku made
I kept walking alone in the streets at dawn.
My tears, shone by the rising sun, were sparkling.
The sun was rising on the horizon, creating a beautiful atmosphere. Various flowers were being blown by the gentle winds as the sun's rays were shining on them.
A young man - Jouji Minami (George Kurai) - was looking on the horizon. He had black hair and amber-brown eyes, a handsome face that resembled his adoptive father, Kohtaro Minami. He wears a high school uniform consisting of a dark blue blazer and red necktie, dark blue pants, and black shoes. He was also wearing black and white fingerless gloves on both of his hands, which were both in his pockets.
He was reminiscing about something, trying to recall something, but could not do so.
On another road, there was a young man - Souta Mizushino - who was also looking in the same direction. He had straight brown hair and brown eyes, covered with glasses. He was also wearing the same high school uniform as Jouji.
He was thinking of something, with a troubled expression on his face, like something was wrong.
jiyuu o motome tsuzukeru watashi no tenshi
douzo tonde tsubasa hiroge mirai e to
While I am still searching for freedom, oh my angel, please spread your wings and fly on towards the future.
Jouji would raise the Zi-O Ridewatch, from his right hand, twisting it and pressing a button. The pocketwatch-like device contains an image of a Kamen Rider and the year "2024" dyed in pink.
A Ziku-Driver Belt would begin to materialize on his waistline.
He would begin to insert the Ridewatch on the right side of the slot and it begins to play a standby sound of a clock ticking. For some reason, the Ziku-Driver starts glitching a bit and tilts a bit counterclockwise. An ancient divine power - Kingstone - was starting to illuminate and resonate from within him, through the Ziku-Driver.
A giant holographic clock formed behind him with several different gears around it turning and the clock hands spinning counterclockwise. A visual of a digital clock was seen in the middle of the clock, with the numbers "2024" dyed in pink.
At the same time this was happening, he thought of a certain magical girl - Cure Yell - who was connected to him in more ways than he realized.
She had magenta eyes and slightly wavy hair worn down with a few green hair clips on each side. Above her hair were short and uneven bangs due to a mishap that she did when she was cutting her hair, once a sense of shame, but was now likened to a cherished encapsulated memory that hearkens back to good and bad memories alike.
She was wearing a second-year middle school uniform consisting of a long-sleeved, white-colored shirt covered by a pink shirt. Around the neck was a red tie with two crossing, pink lines. She also wears a grey skirt with white linings, brown suspenders, white stockings, and brown loafers.
Then her image would change to her magical girl form.
Her hair turns light pink and grows longer wavier with a pair of buns on top held by red ribbons and daisies. Her eyes are lighter and have slightly changed shape, with her eyelashes thickening, and she now wears lipstick.
She wears a pink and white midriff top with three white and gold button straps in the middle. Her translucent sleeves are puffy and off-the-shoulder. She also wears light yellow wristbands that resemble pom-poms with light pink ribbons.
Her skirt matches her top and is pleated with a translucent layer and mint green ruffle on top of it. Her PreHeart hangs on her left hip over a pink pompom bow with a white ribbon. She wears short light pink and magenta boots with red bows and yellow pom-pom trim with white thigh-high socks. Her accessories include a pearl headpiece with a pink heart on it and green clover earrings.
As he remembers her, Jouji would bring his arms together and clench both of his hands into tightening fists, with his eyes sparking red as a look of resolve dawned on his face. Then, he would quickly lower his right hand down before bringing up his left arm and straightening it to the front right, while clenching his right hand to a fist.
Then he would move his left arm a few 150 degrees before eventually putting both of his arms straight forward to the right. Then he makes both of his straightened hands facing clockwise to the right.
"Hen...shin!"
Then the Ziku-Driver would begin to automatically spin 340 degrees counterclockwise until it went back to its original position. The Ziku-Driver would slowly change colors into a dark green and black color. Bright reddish and white lights would begin to flicker around the belt. The belt was transforming, and evolving into the Vital Sun Charger Driver. An infinity symbol and an RX symbol were seen above the center of the belt.
Green Earth aura would cover Jouji's entire body.
The holographic clock spins together at the twelfth, forming the twelve and twenty-fourth hour.
The pink katakana letters that spelled "Rider" on the clock would change into red colors. The katakana would pulse outwards, launching them forward as three holographic watch bands encircled around him, forming his armor, on what looked like a mixture of mutation and technology. The bands disappeared a moment later as the armor had formed.
The year of the belt was now glitching. Originally, it spelled "2024" in pink colors. But the numbers changed immediately to "2018" before they changed not a moment later into "1987" and were now carrying red colors. The Zi-O Ridewatch's year number was now changing to "1987" with a glowing red color.
RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER BLACK ZI-O!
It was a jet-black suit with noticeable fleshly muscle areas on the arms, legs, and neck, where steam was rising out of it, as it created a semi-fog-like atmosphere. It was donning a full body armor of black and dark-green colors. He had black and dark green shoulder pads, black gloves, and black boots. On both of his forearms, attached Ridewatch Holders were carrying two black watches on his right and one on his left. There was a silver Ridewatch that said "Bike" in Japanese, carried by the left holder.
His helmet looked like a clock with a white clock piece with the symbol that spelled "Kamen" on the forehead, along with a silver grasshopper mouthpiece, and a black visor until the katakana flew back and slammed into his visor as it shone brightly in pink colors, before changing instantly into red colors.
On the left side of his chest were golden-colored symbols with an infinity symbol and a modified RX up above it.
Jouji would make a pose that copied his father's example.
"I will never be the Demon King, for I am the Child of the Sun, Protector of the PreCure!"
He declared with a resolute tone as he raised his right hand. Then he would place his left arm near the right arm and his right hand now formed into a clenched fist, forming a cross, before eventually raising his right arm to the left and then straightforwardly with his right index finger raised in an X-like pattern. Then he begins to raise his right arm back to the left and then down to the right as if forming an X gesture, before raising his right arm in a circular gesture before his left fist was clenched, facing forward, and his right fist was clenched and place to the side of his right waist.
"Kamen Rider Black Sun Zi-O!"
Geiz, Tsukuyomi, and Black Woz looked shocked, not expecting this to happen.
Swartz and the other Time Jackers looked shocked, not expecting this to happen.
Tsukasa Kadoya/Kamen Rider Decade looked amused and curious.
Nobuhiko Akizuki/Kamen Rider Shadow Moon would look solemnly and with a grim expression underneath.
Grey Woz sported a pleased smile and expression.
tsukare hateta chikyuu wa
nemuri motometeru
kaze no oto ga komoriuta ni kawatte yuku
Earth, completely exhausted,
is longing for some rest.
The sound of the wind changes into a lullaby.
The sacred and beautiful planet Earth (World of Kamen Rider) was shown. Then there was another planet Earth (World of Pretty Cure) that was hovering side by side with it.
And then, 20 AR Rider Worlds would suddenly appear to hover in perfect harmony and encircle the World of Kamen Rider and the World of Pretty Cure.
And in the background of these worlds, two Century Kings of Old would begin to hover menacingly.
And then, there appeared a certain magical girl - Cure Tomorrow - that was connected to Jouji's future.
And then, there appeared another magical girl - Cure Echo - who was praying solemnly.
And then, there appeared another magical girl - Cure Supreme - who watched from a distance.
tsukare hateta chikyuu o

Please bring repose
to the exhausted Earth,
oh eternal Iczer-1
who live to protect dreams.
Jouji, now as Zi-O, as he rides his sentient motorcycle with red flashing eyes - the Battride Hopper - while the sun hovers on the horizon, driving with a resolve to fight the never battle against evil and darkness, as he remembers the magical girls who inspired him (Pretty Cure), as well as remember the father (Kohtaro Minami/Black RX) who adopted him and would try to follow his example.
