The world.
A place that all life resides in. The home to numerous species of all kinds of shapes and sizes.
This is where you can see it all. The land, the ocean, and the sky. Everything exists on this world.
And throughout the eons that the world has existed, life had always managed to find a way to evolve to the point that they not only survived, they also shaped the world of what it is now.
But even when the world seemed to be peaceful to the point that life can exist, there will always be something that will exist in order to provide a threat to the various people that began to live on the world.
A lot of these are due to the fact the people themselves cannot learn to co-exist peacefully. This is because of the fact due to the many species that live on the world, everyone can be faced with discrimination and violence.
And therefore, this has caused a lot of wars between races due to the fact that there was a lot disagreements across the races which would soon lead to the devastation of the environment around them.
But things would only get worse as evils were made during those times, and even when all races unite in order to stop the evils, it wasn't enough in order to stop the various threats that attacked.
This soon meant there had to be a new force to combat the evils that threatened the world.
These would be known as heroes, defenders of the innocent and allies of justice.
And thanks to these heroes, they were able to stop the evils and keep them at bay so that the world could enter a somewhat peaceful state for all races to learn to co-exist and even manage to make cities so that they can make sure to extend a hand so that it will be a way to maintain peace.
But even with all that had been accomplished, there will always be a threat that is waiting to show up and wanting to destroy the peace that had been maintained for centuries.
But, it will now be up to a group of warriors that had powers from ancient times in order to face an evil that once threatened the world far longer than the evils that forced the war to end.
Right now we can be seen at what appears to be some kind of factory that looked to have been abandoned for a long time.
And in this factory, we can hear what sounded to be muffled screaming as a young man was seen tied to a chair and was gagged as he struggled against the restraints that held him.
But as he continued to struggle, it was cut off as a voice was heard.
"Do not bother. You will not leave until we get what we want from you."
The young man soon looked to see what appears to be a group of black armored men that had red eyes.
Soon, one of the armored men approached the young man and took off his gag.
"Please! Let me go!" The young man cried out. "What did I do to deserve this?!"
"It's not what you did its what you're going to do." One of the black armored men said as he pointed a gun.
The young man froze upon seeing the gun. He knew one wrong move, and it would be over for him.
Another of the black armored men spoke up. "Now, you are gonna tell us everything you know due to the fact that you work for the company, don't you?"
To give some context of what the black armored man meant, the young man was named William, and he worked for the United Coexistence Foundation or the UCF for short.
Their job was to make sure that there would be peaceful negotiations between races in order to maintain a peaceful world.
However, the UCF had become under attack by many groups due to the fact that there are those who believe that their own race should be above others.
And the ones that William was now being held hostage was the Black Templars. A group of humans who believe humanity should be the dominate species due to the fact other races had treated them badly in the past.
A Black Templar soon pointed a gun at William before saying. "You will now tell us what you know if you want to live. If you don't, we'll make sure you wish you were dead."
"P-Please..." William pleaded trying his best to convince the Black Templars to let him go. "You won't get anything out of this. Just let me go, and I won't tell anyone what you did."
"Liar." A Black Templar said with his red eyes of his helmet narrowing with frustration. "We know very well that you will not keep this a secret. So unless you want to live, you will tell us."
To prove his point, the same Black Templar took out a combat knife and stabbed William in the leg, causing the young man to cry out in pain as he began to sob.
"Now you see what happens if you don't comply with our demands."
William continued to sob, which angered the Black Templar and soon struck William in the shoulder, making the young cry out louder in pain.
"P-Please..." William choked on his sobs. "No more..."
"Too bad." The Black Templar said and was about to strike again.
William closed his eyes and braced himself for the pain to come.
However, two bladed disks were thrown as one knocked the combat knife out of the Black Templar's hand and struck him in the back.
This soon alerted the other Black Templars as they were in shock of what they had seen. It was now clear to them that someone else was with them and saw everything.
The Black Templars helped their brother up as they soon begin to ready themselves with their weapons such as guns, combat knives, and machetes. They seemed ready to kill whoever was there.
"Show yourself!" A Black Templar demanded.
A voice soon replied. "Up here."
The Black Templars soon looked up at the roof that was somewhat exposed to see that there was a figure standing on it.
This figure appeared to be wearing a blue and grey armor that had a black undersuit, with the armor came a helmet that had red eyes and it seemed to look like an eagle. There was even two bladed disks on the armored warrior's back.
The Black Templars looked on with both confusion and caution as they haven't seen this type of individual before.
"Who are you?!" A Black Templar demanded.
The armored man soon jumped and landed on the ground as he stood up.
"No one important..." The armored man said. "All you need to know is that I'm here to stop you."
"Is that so?" Another Black Templar said. "Well, you made a big mistake coming here."
"I can say the same thing about you." The armored man scoffed.
Another Black Templar chuckled. "And what are you going to do about it? There are twenty-five of us, and only one of you."
The armored man let out another scoff before readying himself. "Why don't you come and find out."
The Black Templars soon aimed their guns and began to fire at the armored man, but before the bullets could hit their said target, the armored man disappeared, faster than a eye can blink.
This both shocked and confused the Black Templars as they looked around.
"Where did he go?" A Black Templar said looking around.
"Did he just disappear?" Another said, doing the same as his comrade.
"He's got to be here-"
But before the Black Templar could finish, the armored man appeared in front of him and did a roundhouse kick that knocked him back.
The other Black Templars looked on in shock and began to fire as the armored man did backflips to evade the attacks.
The armored man soon dashed towards the Black Templars and strike them back many times as he did another roundhouse kick.
A Black Templar soon got back up and wielded out his machete and charged to slash at the armored man, who blocks the attacks before punching the Black Templar in the gut and did a backflip kick that knocked the said Black Templar back.
Another Black Templar slashed at the armored man as he did manage to land a hit, however the armored man seemed to be unfazed by the attack as he then grabbed the machete and strikes the Black Templar back.
The other Black Templars looked on in shock as they couldn't believe they were being bested by only one person.
"Brother!" A Black Templar said looking to his comrade. "Get the cannon!"
"Yes, brother!" The other Black Templar said readying a large cannon.
He soon aimed it at the armored man and fired at him as an explosion was made. As the smoke clears, the armored man was no where to be seen.
"Hah, that must've killed him." The Black Templar grinned behind his helmet.
"Are you sure about that?"
The two Black Templars froze in fear, but before they could do anything, the armored man was behind them and soon struck them down as they screamed in pain and explosions were made.
The final ten Black Templars look in shock as they saw their comrades be defeated so easily.
The armored man sighed and looked at them. "So, you wanna give up, or I'll have to make this worse than it had to be?"
The Black Templars growled behind their helmets as they readied their weapons.
"Well it seems you want to make it worse."
The armored man soon reached the right side of his belt as he turned a gear and a hologram of a blade arm soon appeared as he reached towards it and the hologram became a real thing.
But that wasn't all. The blade arm soon turned into a crossbow arm.
Wind Eagle Crossbow!
The Black Templars look on in shock of what they saw as the armored man aimed his weapon and fired many blasts that strikes down four of the Black Templars.
Another Black Templar soon came in to attack as the armored man dodged the attacks before putting his crossbow arm at the chest of the Black Templar and fired, causing the Black Templar to cry out in pain as he exploded.
"Brother!" A Black Templar cried out in anguish and anger as he readied his machete.
The armored man nodded as he soon turned his crossbow arm back into a blade arm.
Wind Eagle Sword!
The armored man readied himself as he blocked slashes from the four Black Templars that tried to strike him, but he soon slashed them back before doing a roundhouse kick that knocked them to the ground.
The armored man soon charged up as he created ice like spikes and fired them at the Black Templars as they soon exploded from the attacks.
"Hold it right there!"
The armored man soon looked to see the last Black Templar holding William hostage as the young man had a knife to his neck.
"If you come any closer, I'll slit his throat." The Black Templar warned.
The armored man walked towards them.
"Didn't you hear me?! I will kill him!"
The armored man didn't stop.
"Fine, then you asked for-"
Before the Black Templar could finish, he let out a scream of pain as the armored man was behind him and had cut off his arm.
"Just so you know..." The armored man said. "This is your fault."
The armored man soon slashed the Black Templar far back as an explosion was made.
The armored man soon sighed as he then untied William, who was shaken and wounded, but alive.
"Are you ok?"
William nodded.
"Good." The armored man said. "Now get going. I made sure a ambulence along with the police will come and get you."
The armored man soon jumped away as William looked on with shock and confusion as he heard the ambulence and the police come over.
William didn't have an exact idea on what happened, but he was glad to be alive.
Right now, we can see the same armored man from before on top of a tower as he was busy contacting someone.
"Yeah, its done." He said. "It seems this peace is not gonna become undone. So, any signs of the shadow beasts? I see, then I guess I better get ready."
The armored man soon ended the call as he then looked across the city.
"Looks like it will be time for Armor Rider Storm to make an appearance more often." The armored man said finally indentifying himself.
And this would only be the beginning.
