Before reading this chapter. I wanted to say Thank You for the 100+ follows and favorites. I wouldn't continue without your support. This fanfic started as my contribution to the Heisei Era of Riders. That was over a year ago. Now Kamen Rider is starting to become recognized in the Western market with the original and Kuuga from Shout Factory and just recently two weeks ago, Heisei Generations Forever premiered with freaking Woz as a special guest with the giveaway of a signed BeyonDriver! Wow, hopefully Kamen Rider will soon be on store shelves and we, the fans, don't have to resort to pirating episodes. I can't wait for what comes next!
Surgery, no one wants to deal with that. Whether you're the patient, the surgeon, or the family, it's a nightmare to deal with. The thought of things going wrong that will lead to horrible incidents that will also ruin the doctor's life even if it was an accident. Izuku MIdoriya sits in the waiting room, feeling like he's going to throw up, he knows that All Might is getting the long awaited surgery for his non-existent stomach, but fear for the life of his idol. There were too many close calls for him to die, from the fight against the Nomu at USJ to the attack at I-Island and finally when he had a showdown against All for One. Those were times that always scared Izuku, he could have lost his idol, his teacher, and more importantly the only person that he would consider as a father.
He laughed a little by the thought, like mentor and student when the retired hero mentioned how his late mentor, Nana Shimura, was like a mother to All Might. His real father left, even though he sent money to him and his mother but it seems like he cares less about Izuku. Like any parent wants to raise a quirkless failure, what possible reason to stay? Thinking of all those times when everyone hated him for being born. The kids who abuse their power to make him bleed and the teachers that ignore his pain, all because he can't breath fire or use telepathy or a combination of both. Anger rises in his mind and the thought of wanting to make them pay as his body slowly emits green electricity. Hatred came to mind just thinking about what if his current classmates would treat him that way. Suffering enters his heart as the idea of actually taking the reality of giving up and finally ending his life. No one would miss him.
"Excuse, Izuku Midoriya" Woz came up to him, ending those dark thoughts,
He turned to the servant of the overlord, "Huh? Who are you?" he asked,
"I am Woz, loyal servant to Kamen Rider Zi-O. We've met outside"
"Oh" he replied, "Well nice to meet you"
"Pleasure is all mine, great successor of my overlord" he bowed to him,
"What?" his eyes widen, 'Great this guy might be crazy'
The man in dark clothing brought out his book that said, 'The Rise of Kyu-Oh'., "On this day, Izuku MIdoriya will soon meet his fate as he will use the power of One for All and All for One to create the newest era of riders. But he must face his greatest-"
"Woz!" A young man in a black tactical gear ran up to the man, "What are you doing!?"
"Geiz!" He stood up to the young man, "I have found Zi-O's successor!"
"Eh!? What the hell are you talking about!?" Gaiz yelled,
"This boy is Izuku Midoriya, he will inherit the powers of good and evil. He is the one who will-" he turned and see that Izuku have left, "He's gone"
"Of course he's gone you idiot! You scare him off with some spouting nonsense!" He tried smacking him in the head but Woz swift away from the hit, making Geiz fall into the floor. Woz looks into his book, reading each word of the pages, but something felt wrong with the writing,
"Who is this Kamen Rider Reaper and Saber? The timeline never tells of these riders or at least matches the descriptions. And what of this Ultraman? None exists in this world but yet the book foretells of their adventures. This is rather unusual." The book closes and leaves the hospital with Geiz following him in anger.
Izuku returns home to check on Eri, right now he had enough for today. With the fights and the fear of losing All MIght, he just wants to lay in bed and see if this dreadful day ends. He opens the door and sees Eri having a tea party with the taros,
"Welcome home, Izuku!" she waved at him as the taros does the same,
"Care for some MidoriRyo" Momotaros offered a cup to him, the tea is nonexistent but Izuku kindly take it and did a pretend gulp,
"The tea is delicious, Eri" he said to her,
"Are you going to join us?" she asked with her puppy dog eyes and Momotaros' glare made the green haired teen rethink his plans today,
"Uh y-yeah" he joins them at the table, "So what have you five been doing?"
They all explained their day with Eri minus the gambling part, they don't want to die and they value their pride over losing to a little girl. All calm and quiet for now, sipping on empty cups and talking about things that Eri learned in school,
"So Eri, what did you learn at school?" Izuku asked,
"I learned about dragons" she said while pouring 'tea' into the cups,
"Your class learned about dragons?" he asked again,
"I learned about dragons. Don't know what everyone else was learning" she said while looking very innocently, "Momo could you get the apple treats, please?"
The red onion got up, "Sure thing kiddo" he went to the fridge and pulled out a large container, he brought it to the table. Upon opening the scent of cold cinnamon enters his nose, inside the container were thin strips of apples covered in cinnamon, they also look fried.
Eri grabs a handful and places them into five plates, "I've made them special for this tea party!"
"And I help," Momo added, then Izuku eats one strip and his mind is blown. The surgery taste of the coating of the apple strips made his pupils dilate a bit,
"This is good, Eri. When you learn to make something like this?"
"Me and Momo watch lots of videos on cooking. He said it's the only thing he can trust a little girl to watch" she explained, "We made them while you guys were away and let them cool in the fridge."
The student looked over to the kitchen and expected it to be a mess to clean afterwards but nope. It's clean and organized. He looked at the taros in disbelief but they all said,
"We may be a rowdy bunch but we are not animals. We have to set an example for little Eri." Sometimes if Eri could make these four behave then maybe it could make Kacchan chill out more or be a bit more considerate for others when the little girl is around.
The door opened and Team Build arrived with a box, the two kids and taros greeted the team. Sento approaches Izuku, "Midoriya, glad you're home. We made some gear to help adjust your quirk"
"Really" his eyebrow raised, "Is it safe?"
"It is. Our Test Monkey tried it out, all pass with flying colors" the smug genius said while the test monkey flipped him off while puffing out smoke from his mouth. Though Melissa kisses his cheek to make him better.
Inspecting the contents of the box, he sees a pair of gauntlets and greaves. They were gunmetal grey while looking more demonic as it glows white heavenly light. Izuku felt unsure about this, but this is an opportunity to advance One for All even further with support gear, "
"What is this, Sento?"
"This is Beowulf, an enhancing gear that will increase your strength five times than your normal output and increase the percentage of what you can use before breaking your bones by 15%" Sento grabs the gear out of the box, "But this is not my design, this was created by your friend Melissa. Though I recommend not using video games as inspiration of support gear"
Izuku looked at the blonde american which made her chuckle nervously, "Well the other night, Banjou and I were playing Devil May Cry 3. Well….the weapons are awesome!" she exclaimed,
"While I do not play such childish games. DMC is pretty fun game but a strain on my hands" the girl with lavender hair said,
"How many weapons are going to be made based on video games? Izuku asked, then Sento turned to him,
"So far we are working on a weapon called Nevan. An electric guitar that turns into a scythe, it creates electrical projectiles also emitting electricity depending how you play it."
"That sounds like Jirou's type of gear" Just thinking of the insane power plays she will make on her enemies, especially the kaijins that will kill. He started to mutter which made everyone a bit uncomfortable but understood that these new things often expanded into his head. But during that muttering, Sento heads to the backyard of the house telling Izuku to get ready. The teen puts on the gauntlets and greaves and follows the scientist,
"We are going to test out the Beowulf gear and see how much you can progress with it than without it."
RABBIT! TANK! BEST MATCH! ARE YOU READY?!
"Henshin"
FULLMETAL MOONSAULT! RABBITTANK!
Izuku got ready in a fighting stance while his ally quickly kicked him. He block the attack but slides a bit from Build. He quickly dodges when the Kamen Rider uses his Drill Crusher to strike him, every slash keeps the green hair boy from doing his quick thinking or go Full Cowling. He is forcing Izuku to hurt himself if he wants to fight back. The power from Beowulf surges into his arms and legs, giving him a boost similar to Melissa's Full Gauntlet he once used. One leap is all it took to push back Build and one uppercut to make the rider go flying. With Full Cowling activated, Izuku jumped up and axe kicked Build, who took it like it was nothing.
Smirking under his helmet, Sento is pleased with the results, "Time to test it even farther" He switches bottles.
GORILLA! DIAMOND! BEST MATCH! ARE YOU READY!?
"You must be feeling really powerful with the new gear. Well let's see how you handle my heavy hitters."
THE DAZZLING DESTROYER! GORILLAMOND!
The newly formed rider uses his left arm to block the next punch then punches back, "Come on, Midoriya! How can you save others if you keep holding back? The villain will take more lives if you hesitate" He stomp the ground, making it rumble around the two,
"I am worried that I might do something awful if I don't!" he charges towards him, but the rider had the upper hand and grabs him by the leg,
"Sometimes going all out would save lives. Heroes always make the hardest decisions and sometimes the choices we make are never the good one" He throws Izuku to the wall of the house, "But I believe that you will rise back up when things go tough." The genius rider charges with the full force of a gorilla,
Izuku's eyes suddenly glowed as a spark ignited inside him, something that he felt familiar yet didn't know what it was. He jumps with the boost from the greaves he wears and shoots himself towards Sento with his foot sticking out, "Fullmetal Rider Kick!"
Taking the kick, using his unbreakable diamond arm, Sento felt the impact. It feels like being hit by a bullet train at full speed. The force of his incoming punches, it feels like being hit by baseballs at mach speed. Sento slams his fist on the boy but the adrenaline he is now running on, gets him battle hungry as he is taking this trail like a real fight. Treating him like an enemy now, Izuku kept throwing his punches with OFA infusing into the gauntlets. He keeps changing his attacks from punches to kicks going at full speed. He is going so fast, Beowulf is turning red, it's not hot or anything; just changing color.
Banjou, Intelli, and Melissa watch the fight, seeing that so far, it's going well. The Taros and Eri cheer for their green haired friend with flags and popcorn. Seeing that the boy has shown great strength, it excites the taros and the little girl. For Eri, she likes seeing her brotherly figure getting stronger as she hoped. Be as strong as he was when he saved her from his tormentor. The taros are having a nostalgic moment as they remember their time with Ryotaro, a growing boy that is walking the path of a hero.
"Beowulf is working well, Melissa" Banjou said to his girlfriend,
"I know! I can't believe using the rider systems and some of the full bottle essence can create something powerful"
"Sento seemed to be holding though" Intelli added, "He would have use his real heavy hitters to test the full capabilities"
"It's only a test. So far we see that Izuku have gotten used to the use of Beowulf. But the odd thing is, it turned red" Melissa said while onder what caused the gear to change,
"Possibly adjusting to his quirk" Banjou answered, "You did build those for Izuku afterall"
The girl grinned at the boxer rider, "Jealous?"
"No." He looks away, "It's not like you are flirting with him or anything"
She lightly punch Banjou in the arm, "You know I still love you"
He smiled warmly, "Love you too, my american nerd" He messed with her hair, "Maybe a polyamorous relationship will work" he said jokingly, which made her cheeks heat
"I don't mind about that" she said shyly,
His eyes widened, "Wait what?"'
Foundation X
In the underground lab of the enemy of the Heisei Kamen Riders, lies a sole glass tube. Filled with seafoam green liquid that contains an unrecognizable figure. Men in lab coats gather around, analyzing the figure, among them is their greatest weapon. The Imagin that fought Eraserhead, holding vials of blood and some samples of hair and skin. He gave them to his creators, to which they started to add to their next creation.
The Imagin left the room, 'Whatever comes next will decide the fate of the riders. All the past kaijins failed to stop them, even the Another Riders couldn't remove them. But using the blood and DNA of the greatest hero could be their undoing. Once we get rid of that hero, then we can proceed to eradicate all riders!'
Wow. Well next chapter we will begin what some of my close friends know about and have been waiting on. Stay tuned. Also sorry if this came short, I have been dealing with countless problems and I just want you guys to enjoy the story while dealing with the pandemic. Stay safe!
