Kamen Rider: The Rise of Zeus (RPG Thread)

[Ingram Plisken]

(Song: "Tango Urilla" by Basil Poledouris)

(OOC: RPG is go, after the first attacks on the eight members of the Magnificent Ten, I'll start to introduce the events. Some of the Hundred-Handed Ones, besides Erebus and Hades will be watching your characters, although unknown to you)

Location Unknown

A rousing cheer thundered across the large arena, filled to the brim with the many, many followers united under the banner of Zeus. A grand platfrom stood in the middle of the arena, ten figures clad in black robes black enough to mask their shape and hide their faces stood. Each robe was trimmed in a different color and one stepped forward, thrusting his arms ups to quiet the crowd as he bellowed out in a deep, inhuman voice.

"For long enough we've fought against the wretched riders, and at least we've beaten them! We told you we'd beat them, we told you that Zeus, our mighty leader would deliver unto us a savior. He'd deliver unto us somebody who'd what we've failed to do so many times before!"

His voice rose in pitch, like the cracking of thunder as it ran deep through the crowd, chilling each creature to the very core as he rose his hands higher, as high as they'd go towards the roof of the arena, long, snaking, skeleton like fingers emerging from under the sleeves of his robe, trimmed with red, a dark red.

"We are the Hundred-Handed Ones! You obey our every whim and you do our will. We command you now, spread across the globe, to every corner! Find those who'd take up the mantle of those cursed Riders and destroy them! Leave nothing left but stinking meat!"

His name was Hades, and he was the top general for Zeus, and rightfully feared by everybody, even the other generals. Nobody among the organization knew what they were, nobody had every seen the faces of the Hundred-Handed Ones, and rumors spread that nobody could match their power and to see them fight was a death sentence among them.

Hades was the only general who bore any color besides black upon the pitch black robes. He slowly turned his head to his right, looking at the closest figure, Poseidon.

"Send some fangire and Grongi to New York City. Three people rumored to be Kamen Riders are there, search them out, kill them. Each of you do the same, find those who'd be Riders, each pick a target. You fail to kill him and you'll answer to Zeus and myself. Find them spread across the globe and kill them, do not let them meet."

As they quickly split apart and went a different direction, Hades directed his thoughts to Zeus's secret weapon, the "pet" who was branded as Decade as he moved off the platform, moving with an inhuman speed quickly and silently across the arena floor, headed out and deeper underground.

------------------------------------

New York City, 3:30am.

Terrifying screams echoed off the close buildings as a couple was scared half to death from a monster attacking them, he was the Horse fangire and he would have smiled if his featured allowed for it. It took only a moment as he plunged his sword into the man's chest, then swiped the blade across his girlfriend's face and ended both of the their lives. Being turned loose in this strange, large city was liberating, and the easiest way the creature figure to find a rider was to start attacking people at random, I mean, it was sure to find him sooner or later right?

As he started to walk away, from behind him he heard the sounds of chains rattling from the pitch black part of the alleyway. The rattling grew louder as the sounds of foot steps would soon be heard and a pair of large, yellow eyes would light up, along with two smaller red eyes some ways below the large set.. The pale moon bathed this over this figure as he emerged from the darkness, holding his hands upwards towards the sky before he stopped and looked straight towards the fangire as it spoke out, shocked to see him. "Y..y..ou're..Kiva!" Kiva took a slow breath before he charged forward and buried his right fist into the fangire's stomachn and used his left arm to wrap around it's neck and throw it off to the right, the building's wall shattering from the impact as the horse fangire is flung through it.

After making his way into the building, the fighting picked up again as Horse fangire and Kiva battled until they reached the very top of the building, the sounds of the violent clash echoing through the night until Kiva grabbed Horse fangire by his head and pulled down on it as he drove his knee upwards, violently smashing his knee into his face and lifting it off it's feet. Jackson smiled to himself as he held up the blood red Wake Up Fuestle and inserted it into Kivat's mouth, listening to the bat as it came off it's perch from his belt and circled around his leg a few times as he took a few steps back, the Catena Chains breaking apart as the Hell's Gate on his right leg opens up.

Kiva leapt up high into the sky, and if one were to see, all they'd manage to make out was a figure high the air, his back to the odd crescent moon in the sky and a pair of large, glowing yellow eyes. He said nothing as he drove his right leg down and shifted his body into a side kick. It smashed into the Horse fangire and drove it harsh into the ground, the force of the impact causing the building to give a violent shake as it's top few floors collapse under the sudden impact under the horse fangire.

As Kiva stood at the edge of the building, peering across the night sky, he had no idea he was being watched by a black robe clad figure, it's sleeves pushed together and fingers tapping together before it quickly dissappeared, the figure's name was Erebus.

Tokyo, Japan 3:35 PM


Ayako Tomiko had counted herself as lucky...a mysterious benefactor paid for her very expensive operation, and it was because of that mysterious person that she was standing here, on a rooftop letting the gentle breeze flowing through her hair. "...It's a great view...huh Akiko?" Ayako said, she was seemingly alone.

A pile of sand appeared from beside her, her Imagine resembled what looked like a Phoenix, her legs dangling over her head. "Yeah...did you remember to take your medicine...?" She asked

Ayako giggled "Not yet..." She said, she reached into her purse frowning at the sight of the various bottles, all filled with pills of different shapes, sizes, and colors. She had to take a variety of different kinds, three after every meal, five every few hours, two before she went sleep each night. If she didn't her body would begin to cramp up, and she'd go into a coughing fit...it wouldn't be a pretty sight.

Ayako was lucky to have a friend like Akiko, she was more like a mom to her then anything else, always looking out for her...despite the fact that she could become a little crazy in battle. Despite her health condition, she's somehow, by the stroke of a miracle: she's able to fight as Den-O...though not for a long period of time fortunetly, that was where her Imagine partners came in.

it pained Akiko, watching Ayako take so many pills like that...but it was for her medical health "Hey, hey...Aki-chan, you worry about Aya-San too much..." Another Imagine appeared beside her, this one resembled what looked like a turtle

"Yeah, yeah! Aya-Nee san can take care of herself!" A high-pitched voice said, appearing beside of the turtle was what looked like a Dragon.

"Yes, yes...Ayako-chan is more then capable of handling herself" A third Imagine, this one resembling a tiger said

"Shut up! You're all so noisy!" Akiko said waving her hands around "Besides, if I don't worry about Ayako who will?! She is our contract holder after all!"

Ayako laughed "Aki-chan, you're so cute when you get angry!" Ayako said smiling standing over the aruging Imagine

"I uh...you...er....grrrr..." Ayako laughed again "Awe, you're blushing" She continued to laugh, eventually going into a coughing fit.

"Ayako!" Akiko said. Eventually Ayako's coughing stopped "...I'm alright...hey, let's go shopping!" Akiko said "Alright! Leave it to me, I'll pick out the best outfit for you!" Umiko said, turning into a bright, yellow ball she entered Ayako's body. Ayako's eyes flashed a bright blue "So then...shall we go?" U-Ayako said, as she walked down the pathway.

Ayako was just glad to have friends in general...even if they were monsters that possessed her body at will.


---
Watching her from a distance was a cloaked man, he sat over the edge of the building, his cloak flowing in the wind. From the entrance to the staircase, a train's horn could be heard, a green Imagine walked out from it, carrying a plate full of food. "Ayako...you've grown up...I could never imagine that you...of all people would become Den-O

The Imagine knelt down offering the man the plate "Thank you, Deneb." He said taking the bowl of Miso soup "Master Shin, are you sure it's a good idea to be out here like this...? You know Zeus is watching the girl, they could be close by" Deneb said

"It's fine." The man said standing up, as he stood Deneb picked the plate up "Besides...it's been awhile sense I last saw Aya-chan...I just wanted to see how she was doing..." But Deneb was right, he could feel Zeus's presence close by "Come on, let's go back to the ZeroLiner for now." He said "Right..." Deneb said following close by

Unknown Location, Time Unknown


Within the underground dwellings one of the only humans among them, Shen Aeron, knelt in a decorated chamber. He was motionless and seemingly not breathing but that was an illusion as his breath's were shallow but strong.

His hands were chained behind him, linked to a collar around his neck. Fresh wounds on his bare back oozed blood which ran down his legs and pooled underneath him staining his torn pants and legs red.

He hadn't completely his task as his Master, Zeus, expected so he was punished. He'd been commanded to wait in the room and any movement would result in a repeat of his earlier discipline, though it would be three times worse.

His only thought was of how he had failed his Master and that it would not happen again. He went over and over the mistakes, vowing to correct them should he be given the chance.

------------------

Tokyo, 4:00 AM, An office building


Though everything seemed peaceful on the outside, it was far from the truth. Within a window, a gateway to another world had opened and a monster from that world devoured the CEO of the company as he walked out for the night.

That monster, Dispider, found it's meal interrupted by a fireball to it's back. Turning around it shreiked in pain as two of its eight legs were chopped off by a sword. Stumbling in agony, Dispider looked around for it's attacker. It was shocked to see a red and black warrior with a dragon gauntlet on his arm holding the blade dripping with its blood.

Suddenly another beast circled around the warrior as he leapt skyward and performed a side jump kick, engulfed in fire. Dispider gave a final shriek as it exploded, the shockwaves expanding out shattered all the windows of the building from the eighth floor down. Roughly 200+ windows shatter simultaneously for no apparent reason.

Dispider's life formed into a glowing yellow orb that the warriors beast devoured, glowing briefly as it flew away from its master. The warrior suddenly appeared out of a fragment of the windows. This warrior was known as Kamen Rider Ryuki.

Walking calmly away from the scene Ryuki had no idea that a strange and inhuman creature was watching him from afar, waiting for its chance to strike.

New York City, 3:37am

"BIG CITY NIGHTS!"

Kazuya slumped down against his motorcycle after having puked repeatedly into a nearby trashcan. The "big city" had offered him many new experiences, and he honestly was expecting to pass out in alley at one point or another during his time in New York City, but certainly not after having a cosplay freak strap a disappearing belt around his waist. Thinking of waist caused him to look down, noticing yet another problem as he look at the bottom of his shirt, which was frayed and burned.

"Damn...I really liked this shirt too."

Kazuya struggled to stand up, holding his waist, feeling the imprint of the belt as he mounted his motorcycle. Sliding his helmet on he started up his bike and headed off towards his apartment. He didn't get far when he suddenly and surprisingly lost control and slammed into lamp post, throwing him clean off his bike and sending him sliding across the ground. Kazuya rolled his eyes, partially out of irritation and partially out of passing out.

A monstrous figure looked down at the scene of the "accident", watching Kazuya slowly stop moving and his webbing which was slowly dissolving after causing his bike to lose control. The creature made a strange and satisfying hissing noise before leaping away.

Tokyo, Japan 3:49 PM

"GET BACK HERE!!!" Much to the shock of the people on the public streets, a young man in a business suit is seen chasing after a locust monster. "Slippery bastard! Stop so I can seal you!" Despite his efforts, the locust monster kept on getting farther. "Damn it! He's getting ahead of me!" Then he sees a flight of stairs. "Alright, looks like I'll have to take that!" He runs up the stairs to the top of the building, he takes out his Blay Buckle, sliding his Change Beetle card in it. He puts it on waist, multiple cards wraps around his waist before turning into the entirety of the belt. "Henshin!" He flips up the belt, revealing the spade insignia. TURN UP A giant blue square with a picture of a beetle in it appears and he runs through it, transforming into Kamen Rider Blade before jumping off of the building. The locust monster turns around and sees him lunging toward him. "I got you now!" He jumps on the monster as they roll across the streets.

[Dark Kabuto]

Tokyo: 4:05 PM

U-Ayako continued to shop, she smiled handing the lady at the cashier her credit card Umm...Umi-chan, is it such a good idea to be spending so much money...? I mean, I haven't paid rent for this month yet... Ayako said into her mind "Don't worry...Aya-Chan, you have been working more shifts latey...besides, you deserve to treat yourself every once in awhile" Umiko said, she sat underneith an umbrella, enjoying a strawberry ice cream cone...then she saw people running and screaming, a monster ran through the shopping district, and a strange man followed suit "What's going on...?" U-Ayako said Is it an Imagine? Ayako said "No...I don't think so" Umiko said, and began following suit

To Umiko's suprise, she saw the young man changing into Blade "Another Rider...? Intresting" she said, Akiko appeared beside her "Alright! It's been awhile sense I last got to crack some skulls! Here I go!" She said, she was about to leap into U-Ayako, when Umiko turned around and kicked her.

She disapated for a few moments before reforming "He! Asshole! What the hell was that for?!" Akiko said "You always get to fight...let me have some fun every once in awhile" She said

She then walked towards the young man and the Undead

"Is this a private party or can anyone join...? You men look intresting." She said, taking out the Den-O belt, she strapped it around her waist "Henshin!" She cried, swiping the pass across the belt [Rod Form!] was announced

Turnning into Den-O, U-Ayako reached for her belt forming the Den-Gasher into a rod. "Mind if I..." She said, she spun around blowing a kiss towards them "Reel you in...?" she said, and charged towards the Locust Undead

[Kai Yamato]

Tokyo 4:09 PM

As he punches and kicks the Locust Undead, he sees the girl transform and is surprised. "Another Kamen Rider?!" Suddenly the Locust Undead's legs elongate to those of like real locust's before it grabs Blade and slams him into the wall. "Ow! Why you!" He folds out the cards from his Blay Rouzer, the majority of them are Proper Blanks. There's only two cards with powers for him. "Let's try this one!" He picks one card, it's the Tackle Boar and rouses it on the Blay Rouzer. TACKLE He glows with bright white energy before charging at the Locust Undead but it jumps out of the way and he ends up crashing through a wall. "Huh?! What?! What happened?!" He tries to get himself out but finds himself stuck. "Shit! I'm stuck!"

(OOC: Discovered that Kenzaki had Tackle and Slash as his starter cards. Hopefully no one mind. ^^;;; )

[Dark Kabuto]

Tokyo: 4:15

Umiko charged forward, Rod in hand she cast it foreward, managing to catch the Locust undead, the locust undead began intangled in a fishing wire.

With one yank, she pulled the Locust undead away from Blade "My...my...this is quite the catch..." She said and slowly began walking towards the Locust undead.

Enraged, the Undead charged towards her Umiko kicked the Undead away "My...my...such a temper" She said taking out her Rider Pass, she swipped it across her belt [Full Charge!] was announced

She threw her rod at the Undead, the Undead was held in place, a force field appeared around it. She leapt into the air, coming down towards it and kicked the Undead, the Undead flew several feet the chest opening up

"Oh...? I didn't get it?" She said

[Kai Yamato]

Tokyo 4:18

Blade manages to get himself out of the wall and sees that the Rider has taken care of the Locust Undead. "Eh. Someone did my job." He takes out a Proper Blank, tosses it and it sucks up the Undead into it before the card flies back in his hand. He flips his belt, the glowing blue screen flew past him, turning him back to his civilian form. "U-um, thanks for the help." He bowed politely to the other Rider.

[Dark Kabuto]

Tokyo, 4:20

"I see...so that's how it's done..." Umiko said chuckling to herself. She wasn't expecting to meet her first rider so soon. She reaches down for her belt, and pulls it off, Den-O's form collapsed.

She looks over towards Blade and grinned "Nice to meet you, handsome" She said winking at him. Suddenly, Umiko lets out a groan, she holds onto her chest and staggers back a little ""S-Sorry, it looks like this body I'm using has reached it's limit...please...get along well with Aya-chan...." She said, and she left Ayako's body, returning to a pile of sand next to her.

Ayako slumped over, breathing heavily "I'm sorry, Aya-Chan. It looks like I pushed you're body too hard"

Akiko appeared next to her "'I'm sorry'?! Wow, that's the first time I heard you say THOSE words!" She said "Can it, beak face!" She said "Ooooooooooh! Them's fightin words! You wanna go!?"

"EVERY....ONE!" Ayako said in between gasps of air. "Please...don't fight..." She said coughing a little. Eventually, she manages to regain her composure she takes in a deep breath, and manages to force a smile, she didn't realize how close she was to the boy, and steps away blushing

"Um....my name is...Ayako..." She said "Ayako...Tomiko" She said and bows "It's nice to meet you um..." She said.

[Kai Yamato]

Tokyo 4:22

"Kyouya Takashiro." The young man introduced himself, though still confused about what just happened earlier. "It's nice to meet you too." He smiled. Then he realized something, he forgot his bike. "Oh shoot! My bike! I left it somewhere!" He run off. "Sorry Ayako-chan for making our first meeting short! But I hope we meet again soon!"

[Kurou Daijuuji]

New York City, 3:45 am

(If Kaiketsu Zubat doesn't mind, I'll just jump in there?)

"A bat. You're kidding me, right?"

"I'm telling you, it was a guy that looked like a bat! Fighting some sort of..horse..thing!"

"You haven't been drinking?"

"Not a drop! I swear! I thought these monsters only popped up in Japan?"

"Apparently not. I'll go see if anything interesting is still in the area."

He snaps his cell shut and slides it back into the case at his belt, turning the key in the ignition and grinning as the black '81 Corvette's L81 engine roars to life. Monsters in New York? What are the odds? He'd carefully cultivated a list of contacts, people who tended to be into strange things. Government conspiracies, UFOs, and..monster sightings. Half of them tended to be as fake as photos of Bigfoot, but you couldn't always rely on something being a figment of imagination.

A quarter of an hour later he was still driving through the city, going as fast as he dares through the darkened streets. It isn't until the telltale skid mark of a sliding motorcycle catches his eye that he stops. He drums his fingers on the wheel for a moment before shutting the engine off, grabbing his keys and getting out of the car, running over toward the scene of the accident.

It isn't a monster, but I can't just drive by if someone may be hurt. Besides, I've seen bike 'accidents' before.

He prods the prone figure with the tip of his boot slightly before bending down to check for obvious injuries - broken limbs and the like. Nothing obvious, but it is still pretty dark.

"Hey, are you alright?"

It sounds so cheesy, but what else do you say to wake up a guy who's been thrown off his motorcycle? The bat and horse guys would just have to wait..if they are real in the first place.

[Kaiketsu Zubat]

(Works for me, he wasn't getting up anytime soon on his own.) :anime:

New York City, 3:46am

Kazuya groaned slightly and opened one of eyes slightly. Everything was a blur as he looked around, only to see a shadowy figure standing above him. Quickly the other eye opened and he shot up, ignoring his pain for the moment and backed up against the wall.

"Don't rape me!"

Kazuya's vision cleared and he saw the figure was a normal guy rather than a cosplay freak, and he winced knowing that his exclamation wasn't exactly a great introduction, but then again, it was dark and these two weren't exactly in the safest part of the city, if such a thing existed in the first place. Quickly trying to disengage himself from the whole affair, Kazuya started rambling, always a good idea.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, this kinda thing happens all the time!"

Just then he coughed up abit a blood and hunched over in pain.

"Ok ok, maybe not all the time, but still, nothing to worry about-"

Kazuya then noticed his motorcycle, or rather what was left of it out of the corner of his eye. He leaned back and shook his head.

"Yare yare daze..."

[kamen rider suzuka]

Tokyo 4:30

Ryu was sitting on a park bench in another part of town wrighting down notes for his next book. He paused thinking about everything thats happened how he wa given the faiz gear and knew that the origional faiz had gone missing.

Suddenly Ryu heared a scream comeing from a alleyway he ran to the ally way keeping in the shadows and saw a human turned to dust and a grey humanoid monster standing over the dust.

Ryu thought "a orphenouch maybe he'll know about faiz," putting the suitcase he was carrying which actually hid the faiz gear he put the belt with the faiz shot and faiz pointer attached around his wait and opened the faiz phone.

After pressing the henshin code [5][5][5] the phone said STANDING BY and started beeping loudly. The noise caught the attention of the orphenouch as its shadow turned into what its human form looked like and said "Who's there."

Ryu silently steped out infront of the orphenouch but because fo the lack of light the orphenouch couldnt make out his face. Raising the faiz phone over his head Ryu shouted "HENSHIN" and put the phone on its spot on the faiz belt and turned it horizontal the phone said COMPLETE and red energy lines formed the photon lines of the armor around Ryu as the rest of the faiz armor materialized. Ryu cracked his nuckles and walked towards the orphenouch slowly.

The orphenouch took a step back saying "Impossible he defeated you and captured you."

[Dark Kabuto]

Tokyo. 4:23 PM

Ayako blinked her eyes, she watched Kyouya frantically running around "What an odd person..." She said "He is pretty cute though..." Umiko said appearing next to her

"Stop it, Umi, don't get any ideas...." She said blushing a little

A little bit later:

Tokyo: 4:35 PM

Ayako worked part time at a little Cafe called Milk Dipper, that had some of the best coffee she tasted in a long time. The place was perfect for Ayako, and the owner: Airi was very, very understanding of her medical condition...though at times, Ayako couldn't help but feel that she was taking advantage of her.

She was always making energy drinks for her, though they were always foul smelling and odd tasting. "Ah! Ayako-chan" Airi said smiling from behind the counter, she was grinding coffee. "Hello, Airi-san" Ayako said taking off her shoes, she placed some slippers onto her feet.

"Here, I made this for you" Airi said, passing Ayako a glass filled with a strange, green liquid. "It's wheat grass and celery." Airi said

Ayako took the glass sniffing it a bit, there was something else in there...something she couldn't quite place. Ayako took the glass, and downed it one gulp she smiled polietly and said "D-Delicious." She said trying not to gag.

"You're such a nice girl, Ayako-chan...most people usually pass out after trying my drinks" She said sighing "Oh, do you think you can pick up a few groceries for me?" Airi asked, handing her a list. Ayako took the list and nodded "Okay." She said smiling

She walked back again, and headed down the street.

Tokyo: 4:45
Most of the stuff on Airi's shopping list sounded odd and exotic, she had to go to the local farmer's market for most of everything. She heard screams and people running "Again?!" She said running down the street, she saw a Rider, Faiz fighting an Orphenoch....a group of Imagine slowly approched

"I've never seen a Rider like that before" She said

"Ignore the Rider! Look Imagine!" Akiko said Ayako nodded "We can't leave them alone...Aki-chan! Let's go!" Ayako said strapping the Den-O belt around her waist

"Alriiiiiiiiiight! Finally, I get to fight! I'm all fired up today...!" She said leaping into Ayako's body

A-Ayako's eyes flashed a bright red "Ore...sanjou!" She said swipping the Rider Pass across her belt [Sword Form] was announced.
get to take out two riders today!" The Bat Imagine said
Now in sword form, Akiko reached for her belt "Den-O eh? How wonderful, we
"Dream on, you Imagine bastards!" She said forming her Den gasher into Sword mode "It's hot...it's hot! Arrgh, I'm burning up today!!!" She shouted charging towards the Imagine.

[Kai Yamato]

Tokyo 4:50 PM

"Man, that was close. My bike would've been detained. Too bad I got a ticket for illegal parking though." Kyouya sighed as he walks the streets with his bike, the Blue Spader given to him by company president upon being Blade. "And I just met a cute girl too. I guess that's it for the day-" As he walks toward the apartment building, he sees his belongings being taken out of his room. "Huh?! What?! What's going on?!"

"You didn't pay your rent." The landlady told him as the men finished moving Kyouya's stuff out.

"But I promised I'll get it this week!" Kyouya said.

"Too bad, kid. I ain't running a charity." The landlady puffed a smoke into his face, making him cough. "Maybe if you weren't such a dropout, you'd get a better job to pay your rent." She walks off into her room.

"But I only failed my college entrance exam-" The landlady slammed the door on him. Kyouya only sighed. "What am I going to do now? I'm practically a homeless now. Hell, probably a hikikomori is better off than me by now." He starts picking up his stuff.

[Kurou Daijuuji]

New York, 3:47 am

Despite the seriousness of the situation, he can't help but laugh at the obviously injured man going "Don't rape me!".

"That isn't something you have to worry about from me. You may want to watch for drunks or hobos, though.."

He tries to play it off with a bit of humor, instead of becoming offended by the accusation. Still, in the same situation, he doesn't know what he'd say to a stranger in the dark either. He listens to Kazuya's rambling for a moment, and he recognizes the signs of some sort of injury - if you fight for long enough, you either get one yourself..or inflict one on somebody else.

"Just how badly did you hit? If you're coughing blood, you may have something screwed up inside."

He decides not to press more than that stands back up, brushing a bit of dirt off his jeans and moving away from Kazuya toward the ruined motorcycle. A low whistle escapes his lips as he looks over the machinery, giving the whole situation a bit of thought. The guy didn't seem drunk, and there appeared to be nothing wrong with the bike..well, nothing majorly wrong with it before it crashed, from what he could tell.

Though, my expertise is more with cars than bikes..

"You might get it running again, but it would take a lot of work.."

Brad taps the cellphone on his belt, glancing around the area and stifling a yawn.

"I don't suppose you've seen a guy wearing an outfit that resembles some sort of bat?".

[Kaiketsu Zubat]

New York City, 3:37am - 3:38am (Where is Jack Bauer? :anime:)

"I'm a cannibal with an ulcer is all, don't look into it."

Kazuya wobbly walked over to his bike with the man and crouched infront of it, looking it over. He ignored the man's comment on his bike's condition, too tired to come up with another smartass response to him. He lowered his head in irritation at the mess infront of him when he noticed a gooey substance on the bike that definitely wasn't axle grease, almost web-like. He was about to touch it when the stranger's comment brought him crashing back into reality.

"You're shittin me right? What is with the amount of weirdos I'm running into today?"

Kazuya then faintly hears a hissing noise, but ignores it to answer his own question.

"This is just some big practical against me. Well HAHAHA!"

The hissing sound gets louder.

"I'll tell you what, why don't we make a call on that phone of yours and get some friends in white coats to drag your ass to Gotham City where you're sure to find an idiot dressed like bat."

The hissing gets even louder and Kazuya gets even more irritated.

"What is that damn hissing sound?"

(Alrightly Kamen Driver, let's get some action on this end too!)

[Ingram Plisken]

A motorcycle slowly rolled up beside Kazuya and Bradley Sinclair. The rider's booted feet slowly set on the ground and his head, shifted towards them, raising an eyebrow under the black motorcycle helmet he wore. Although they didn't knew it, this man was Jackson Beauregard and he sat upon the Machine Kivaa, the living motorcycle given to him by Kivat. He said nothing for a moment as he watched them.

Upon first glance of the bike, most would figure it customized by an idiot, with what looked like heavy bodywork done upon the motorcycle's gas tank, front and rear fenders. Upon the gas tank on either side was a black symbol. Upon closer look it would look like the shape of Kiva's helmet, a bat shape. He finally spoke to them, a somewhat cold tone his voice was and also filled with humor as he looked at Kazuya. “Shame to ruin a nice bike, what happened, you pulled a trick and wiped out?”

He stopped looking at them for a moment, glancing around before his head snapped to the right and his eyes narrowed. His hand moved on the throttle, gunning the bike with a squeal of the tires and a blech of smoke brings his motorcycle wide and off to the right, cutting down an alleyway and off in another direction. Somewhat up behind him, the faint sounds of flapping would hover about Kazuya and Bradley before following Jackson, if they managed to catch a glimpse of the creature, it'd be confused for a bat, but a bit large than your average one.

As he maneuvered the Machine Kivaa through the alleyways and back onto a nearby road, his eyes glanced around, he was hearing things, weird things. When he was stopped and fixing to help those two men, he heard something whispering to him to fight, and the location of a fangire it said. As he sighed to himself, he blinked as Kivat Bat landed on the gas tank in front of him and started to speak. “Ah, I forgot to mention about the Bloody Rose. The previous Kiva had it, and the wielder of Kiva will hear it speaking to him, telling him where to find a fangire and to fight.” Jackson grunted in anger towards Kivat Bat as he shifted his body on the motorcycle, gunning it through a red light and into a large area between two buildings.

He found the fangire alright, but he also saw somebody else with him, and a creature like Kivat fluttering around him..
-------------------------


Ashihei half nervously rubbed the back of his head, messing up his red hair as he looked at the fangire, hearing the sounds of a motorcycle pull up behind him. He shot a frown to the fangire, this one being the Earwig Fangire before he rolled his shoulders and glanced up to his partner as he spoke up. “Reykivat” He smiled slowly as he heard it respond with his trademark line, a line he heard many, many times in the past. “Shall we go? Graceful yet violent.” He raised an eyebrow to his partner as he shifted himself for a second, holding his arms somewhat to the sides as he muttered the word “Henshin” and heard Reykivat parrot the word as he flapped around his back before turning upside and perching himself on his belt, his red eyes flashing.

A large snowflake appeared in front of Ashihei for a moment before it drew back to him and exploded into a shower of snow, the armor of Kamen Rider Rey materializing from his feet upwards, the process complete when the snow fell around him as the blue eyes on his helmet flashed brightly. A roll of his shoulders back as he made his way towards the fangire, his mannerisms and body langauge a far cry from before. “Didn't think fangires would make it outside japan.” Rey would side step Earwig Fangire's charge and hit him hard in the back with his forearm,when it turned around, Rey would hit it with a combination of punches to the stomach before driving his elbow across the monster's face and sending him rolling across the ground.

“WAKE UP” was heard echoing off the walls of the buildings in an angry cry after Ashihei pushed his Key Fuestle into Reykivat's mouth. The chains around his arm would quickly expand then explode in all directions as his Gigantic Claws unfolded. The struggling fangire finally made it to his feet as a stream of ice would shot forth from Rey, freezing it's feet to the pavement, Rey would leap high through the air as he brought his right hand down, smashing his Gigantic claw across the fangire's face and unleashed a series of strikes across it's body until after the fifth one he'd spin on the balls of his feet and walk away as the claws folded up and the chains wrapped around his arms once more and the painful, blood curdling screams of the fangire as it exploded filling the night. His eyes settling upon the motorcycle and it's rider as he walked towards him for a foot or two and stopped.

He'd stare at it, looking over it before he remembered where he saw this bike from, it was Kiva's bike, had to be, his old friend road it many times and his head lifted up slowly to look at Kivat Bat as it flew up from the bike and hovered a foot away from him. Ashihei turned his head to the rider as he heard him speak. “W-w-what? You look just like me!”

“Not completely.” Reykivat left his perch on Rey's belt as his blue eyes lit up once again, the armor dissapearing to show his slender, wiry body as his black eyes peered out from under his mess of red locks. “The Rey system was built off research done into the Demon Races and from researching Kiva. My name is Ashihei Ajibana and I came from japan to find the man who took up my friend and comrade's place. I'll find you again, don't look for me.”

He quickly turned and sprinted away from where Jackson sat upon the Machina Kivaa and into a small opening between two buildings where his own motorcycle, a solid black Honda DN-01 sat. A flick of his hands brought the bike to life and he quickly pulled into traffic and left from the direction Jackson had come from as Reykivat landed on the bike and tucked it's wings in, silently watching Ashihei, his long time partner, and if he had feelings, a friend.

"We've got reports that four riders have been sighted, two in New York City and two on Tokyo.."

He was but a lowly scout for Zeus and his knees were shaking as he stood in front of Hades, his fingers drumming against the wall before his voice snapped in anger towards the scout, booming out loudly "Well?! WHICH ones?"
The poor scout froze in place and couldn't speak for a moment, but that's all it took for Hades to cross the room and wrap a single hand around his throat and lift him off the ground, throttling the life from him a he repeated what he said before. "Well?! WHICH ones!"

"B..b..b..Blade and Den-O in Tokyo. K-k-kiva and Rey in New York.." Sadly for him, it was the last thing he'd ever say as Hades put another hand where his waist would be and drug his fingers sharply into his flesh and held him high above his head, the screams of terror filling the room as he pulled in different directions. His head and waist in separate ways and the sicking sounds of flesh and bone ripped apart caused the screams to die as Hades brutally ripped him in half and tossed a half of his corpse in different directions.

He'd move quickly, leaving the room in his normal, inhuman speed carrying him through the complex before he'd find himself standing in front of Shen Aeron.

Hades would raise his arm, to back hand the human across the face as he stared at him, even though Shen would more than likely try to gaze at his face, like so many others, he'd see nothing but black, the shape his face hidden, always.

"I'll give you another chance to do the deed you're supposed to. Go out, find the riders in Tokyo called Blade and Den-O. Kill them."

And after that, he turned on his heel and left the room. Hades would have to talk with Zeus, and to see what his plans were, what he wanted. Already these humans have found replacements for Blade, Den-O and Kiva, such a pain. These three would have to bare the wrath of Zeus. The original Magnificent Ten was dealt with, they couldn't afford another coming together.

Tokyo, 5:10 PM


Akiko was completly on fire today, she easily dodged and blocked the Bat Imagine's attack, and countered with a few of her own. She managed to get a few good strikes with her sword "Den-O...you bastard...you've gotten stronger...!" The Bat Imagine said, his chest was still smoking from where Akiko had struck him "Maybe YOU'RE just weak!" Akiko said, the Den Gasher over her sholder she tapped it against her sholder. "Aya-chan, how are you holding out?"

Truth was, it was a little hard on Ayako, two battles in one day plus work, and all that shopping with Umiko I'm....I'm fine! Just keep going! Ayako said she was lying, she knew that she and Akiko were linked, she could feel what she felt "You're doing a good job, of keeping up with the fighting Aya-chan...don't worry, it'll be over soon" She said, this brief moment of distraction allowed the Bat Imagine to hit Akiko with a sonic blast

"Hey...stop talking to yourself and keep fighting!" He said "Do you MIND?! I'm trying to have a moment here!" Akiko said pointing her sword at him

"Ooooooooooooh, now I'm mad!!!" She said, taking out her Rider Pass, she swipped it across her belt [Full Charge!] was announced

"Hisatsu...my Hisatsu attack" Akiko said bringing the sword close, she clentched it She spun around, and swung the sword foreward, as she did the tip of the blade launched itself towards the Bat Imagine "Aki-version!" she cried she swung the sword to the left, to the right, then to the left again, and finally, straight down.

When the last attack hit, the Bat Imagine exploded. "that felt good..." Akiko said stretching.

Tokyo 5:12

Meanwhile faiz/ryu continued his fight with the tiger orphenouch giveing it a series of fast punches then a hard kick to the chest nocking back a few feet. Ryu took the faiz phone off the belt and turned it into its gun mode after hiting a series of buttons the phone said "BURST MODE."

The orphenouch charged at Ryu swinging at it with clawed fists several times. Ryu easily dodged the swings and jumped back away from the orphenouch he pointed the faiz phone gun mode at the orphenouch and pulled the trigger a series of three lazer's shot out of the phone in rapid succession and struck the orphenouch causeing it to stagger backwards abit.
Ryu/Kazuki said to the orphenouch "were are the missing riders being kept you said he defeated me who's he talk orphenouch." The orpenouch's human form appeared on the ground again as the orphenouchs shadow and said "ha so your not the real faiz just his replacement no matter he will defeat you as well."

Ryu/faiz said "so your not talking fine then good bye." He took the faiz pointer off its spot on his belt and attached the faiz mission memory to it the faiz phone said "READY" and ryu attached the faiz pointer to its slot on his ankle. Running at the orphenouch Ryu reattached the faiz phone to the belt and opened it pressing a button the phone said "EXCEED CHARGE" and energy traveled along the photon lines from the belt to the faiz pointer. Ryu jumped into the air and pointed both his feet at teh orphenouch. A crimson cone shaped energy drill shot out of the faiz pointer and intothe orphenouch stunning it. Ryu then shifted his wait so he was doing a flying kick with the leg the faiz pointer was attached too. He entered the cone shaped drill causeing it to start drilling into the orphenouch's body. The drill dissapeared and faiz appeared behind the orphenouch. Ryu stood up as the faiz symbol appeared on the orphenouch's body before the orphenouch burst into blue flames and turned to dust.

Ryu cancelled his transformation and returned the faiz gear to his suitcase and said adjusting his glasses "this is getting me no where...I swear I'll find the missing riders and save them."

New York, Roughly 3:40 am

"You're shittin me right? What is with the amount of weirdos I'm running into today?"

He shrugs, as if he's used to that kind of reaction. His eyes follow Kazuya's fingers to the unusual substance, and he rebukes himself mentally. I didn't even notice that. I wonder what it is..?

"I'll tell you what, why don't we make a call on that phone of yours and get some friends in white coats to drag your ass to Gotham City where you're sure to find an idiot dressed like bat."

"Yeah, just laugh it up. I didn't exactly expect to get a call this early in the morning about two weirdos fighting."

He turns away from Kazuya when he hears the telltale rumble of another motorcycle pulling up near them. He pulls the phone off his belt, flipping it open and closed idly before noticing the symbol on the gas tank, and the..unusual work done on the bike. He lowers the hand with his phone in it to his side, and snaps a few pictures without being too obvious about it, getting the symbol, the bike, and the man for good measure.

"Bat-man, indeed." He murmurs under his breath. It's too damn much of a coincidence.

He tries to catch the black helmeted rider before he drives off, taking another picture of the bike going away just to make sure.

"What is that damn hissing sound?"

His attention had been occupied by the stranger on the bike, and he really hadn't noticed. A shiver runs up his spine at the noise, but he tries to play it off, moving his thumb to the phone's number pad. What makes that kind of hiss? A snake? cat? Yeah, but none of those are that loud. Everything comes to place with an almost audible click as he puts the peices together. Him, the bike with the weird stuff on it, and then that bat guy just "happening" to show up? It's got to be one of them!

(I'll let you handle the monster intro)

[Kaiketsu Zubat]

Kazuya could only roll his eyes as an even stranger weirdo had shown up. Once again too tired to utter a sarcastic remark, he kept quiet and was content at just rolling his eyes at the man's poor joke about his bike. The man drove off and Kazuya chuckled.

"Well there is your bat, or someone with extremely poor timing and fashion sense."


Suddenly the hissing grew into a high-pitch whine as several street lights shattered. As the glass rained down a blur of motion shot by overhead, screeching. It turned around and and in even in the faint light, you could see that it was clearly a man-bat, but not a fangire, but Zu-Gooma-Gu, the bat Grongi. It then swooped again towards the two, shouting something in an incomprehensible language (Gegeru, the Grongi tongue.) Kazuya took a step back, eyes wide in disblief, attempting to defend himself when a noose of web wrapped around his neck, pulling him off the ground.

"What the hell?!?"

Kazuya looked up to see a hideous man-spider(Zu-Gumun-Ba), crawling down the roof towards him, mumbling in the same strange language. Kazuya attempted to struggle free as the monster inched closer and closer to him while Gooma-Gu descended upon the stranger.

Kazuya finally realised that the whole thing had been a set up, he was the bait to draw others in so the two creatures could feast.

Shen didn't make a sound as Hades left. The chains fell away and silently Shen stood. Only the most trained would see that Shen was stretching his cramped muscles, though he seemed to be standing still. Automatically his hand touched the stinging mark, though he registered it as a dull throbing.

Walking out of the chamber Shen easily moved through the underground lair to 'his room'. It was more of a dungeon with a built in torture chamber than a bedroom. Dried blood splatter covered the walls and ceiling as Shen began to dress himself in what Hades dubbed his 'hunting' gear.

A black skintight suit and gloves, reinforced with nano-technology, making it incredibly durable but lightweight. He wrapped a black cloak about him and calmly pulled his mask over his face. Looking at Shen now, one could only think they were seeing a living shadow, a silent monster. Shen grabbed and pocketed probably what was the only reason he still lived after all these years, the DecaDriver.

Leaving the underground Shen easily made his way to Tokyo. His cloak had vanished, turning into demonic wings that allowed Shen to fly with ease. It also left a key and silent whistle that would summon his bike the Machine Decader.

Arriving in Tokyo, Shen begins to trace two riders powers, that was injected into his DNA from the Magnificent Ten before they 'vanished'. "Faiz and Den-O." Shen thought automatically "Target: Den-O; Confirmed. Target: Blade; Negative. Shifting Target: Blade to Faiz...." It took a moment for his programmed mind to accept the change Shen wanted in the orders given.

Moving toward their location Shen stopped a distance away and placed the DecaDriver on his waist. Pulling a card from the case, his RideBooker, and pulling the sides of the driver open, Shen stated the command phrase "Henshin!" and upon inserting the card, slammed the sides shut. 9 ghostly images merged to him, more like photo negatives but regardless the pink and black armor formed around him.

Moving to a rooftop above where Faiz and Den-O battled against Imagin, Shen, now the Devil Rider called Decade pulled out and used another card, though the electronic voice was muffled "Attack Ride: Blast!"


His RideBooker became a gun and he calmly opened fire on the two riders. Raining a hail of energy bullets down upon them. Shen smiled beneath his visor as he calmly leapt down and waited in the shadows.

Akiko began to relax, she moved her sholders around "Alright...I could really go for osme Onigiri right now " She said, she was about to reach for her belt, and de-henshin when several shot"You're...." Akiko said Ayako gasped

It's...Decade! He really does exist! Ayako said This is...bad...this is bad...! Akiko, we have to run!

'Where's you're nerves?! Akiko shouted
"Would the original Den-O run from a challeng like this...? No, and besides" She said cracking her neck, rolling her sholders "I'm tired of beating around cannon fodder! It's time for a real fight! " She said, just then Chiko appeared as a pile of sand beside them

"Oooooooooh, the Destroyer of Worlds huh? He looks strong...Hey! Aki! I want to fight him!" Chiko said

"Huh? Wait! no...I!" Akiko presisted, but it was too lat, Chiko had already entered Ayako's body. Ayako staggered back, before pressing the third button on the belt, swiping the Pass across it, the belt announced Axe Form!

Den-O changed into Axe form and turned to face Decade "My strength will make you cry!" she said, dozens of tissue danced in the air "Wipe your tears with these!" She said and slowly approched Shen

"You look strong...how about entertaining me a little?!" Chiko said, taking a part the Den Gasher, she ran towards Shen, her Den-Gasher was now in Axe Mode as she engaged Decade.

---
"Decade...so you've shown yourself" Shin said watching Ayako's battle "Shin-San..." Deneb said "Not yet! Deneb." Shin said stopping him before he could do anything "But...! She's your sister! And isn't her body about to reach it's limit?! Fighting and constantly switching like this can't possibly good for her!" Deneb protested

Shin clentched his fist "You don't think I know that?!" He shouted turning towards Deneb. "Not...yet...it's too early to reveal ourselves..." He said

Forgive me...Ayako.... Shin thought closing his eyes
