Tournament Kamen Rider.

Chapter 1 - It Begins...

'Alright, Mom! I'm off for the tournament... I'll see you in a year.' Nero Samson yelled to his mother Anna.

'Don't get hurt. Have you got all your requirements covered?' Anna asked.

'Totally. I can't promise anything... but I'll do my best to bring home that trophy!' Nero replied with a grin on his face.

'Good luck, son. Remember to keep your phone on at all times.' Nero's father Drake encouraged from the couch. He moved his two crutches on one side to the other.

'You know it, pops! Later!' Nero finished as he ran out the door.

'Shouldn't you have told him?' Anna asked Drake.

'He'll be able to bare the burden.' Drake steadily replied.

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

Nero ran as fast as he could to Grand Central, where the official Rider Belt distribution was taking place. He had promised to meet his friends Chad 'Phoenix' Leiter and Taryse Evans at the event as soon as he could. Nero passed by his uncle's bakery.

'Hey, Tomcat!' Nero yelled as he continued running.

Tomcat smiled and waved: 'Go kick some ass, boy!'

Nero smirked at that comment as he raced around the corner. His cellphone rang.

'Dude, where the heck are you? Me and Taryse have already got our belts!' Phoenix wondered.

'You might wanna' turn around!' Nero replied. Phoenix turned to see his friend standing right behind him.

Phoenix smirked: 'You are a freak of nature, Nero.'

'What's with the gold bat with red eyes?' Nero wondered, staring at the mechanical bat perched on Phoenix's shoulder.

'Oh... this is Kivat. His belt was what I chose for the tournament. My Rider Designation is Kiva.' Phoenix explained. Taryse walked right next to Phoenix, waving hello to Nero.

'So what did you get?' Nero asked her.

'Didn't take you long to ask. I went and got the Femme gear. Natural since I'm the only girl in this thing.' Taryse responded, holding up the White Advent card that housed her Vent Deck.

'Before you go get your belt, I think you should go see Sempai. He wants to talk to you.' Phoenix informed Nero.

'What about?' Nero wondered.

Phoenix shrugged: 'Didn't tell me.'

Nero rushed past his friends to the office door of Professor Jack Ryker, but the trio of friends were more accustomed to calling him 'Sempai', which is Japanese for 'elder'.

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

'Hello, young Nero. Why don't you take a seat?' Jack requested as Nero entered the office.

'It is an honour to see you during this event, sempai.' Nero calmly responded as sat on the chair opposite Jack.

'Honour's all mine, buddy. The reason I called you in here is connected to the tournament... your father requested that we talk about it.' Jack began.

'Dad? Why did he want us to talk?' Nero wondered.

'Because he wanted me to give you something.' Jack replied, revealing an idle Rider Belt in a metal box. Nero recognised it very well.

'The Den-O Belt? Dad wanted me to have this?' Nero said, flabbergasted.

Jack nodded: 'Five years ago when the tournament was first announced, your father had my full permission to have the Den-O Belt be reserved for him. He wanted to fight the tournament and bring you home a richer life... but then that car accident happened that left him on crutches. So he decided that because you are now old enough to compete, he wanted you to take over in his place. Therefore, the Den-O gear is registered to you, Nero.'

Nero slowly got ahold of the Den-O belt and pulled it from the box.

He shook his head: 'This doesn't feel real.'

Jack smiled: 'It's damn real, Nero. Now go be the best Rider you can be!'

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

Nero walked from the office with an encouraging smile on his face. It didn't go unnoticed by Phoenix or Taryse.

'What was all that about?' Taryse asked.

'Yeah, dude: what's going on?' Phoenix followed.

'Sempai told me that he had already reserved a belt for me... and I'm officially a Rider now!' Nero replied with glee. He then showed them his Den-O gear.

'It looks like we're dividing into teams this year... except for those who go it alone, of course.' Phoenix explained.

'Then let's team up.' Taryse suggested in sarcasm.

'The journey begins, gentlemen and lass... let's Ride!' Nero concluded as they walked into the room now filled with Kamen Riders. Jack was at the big screen giving a speech.

'Kamen Riders one and all... welcome to Tournament Kamen Rider. This is the first annual incarnation of the year-long competition that spans the whole city of Tanduras here in Michigan. Along the way on your journey, you will be able to fight exhibition battles and come across various threats that we need defeated such as Orphenochs, Fangires, Imagins & Undead. All I have to say to you on the dawn of your journey is good luck... because you're going to need it. The preliminary battles of the tournament are to be fought in 4 weeks at the Arena in Shantontown. Good luck, Kamen Riders!' Jack explained.

'Wait a minute!' Phoenix exclaimed.

'What is it?' Taryse asked. Phoenix pointed to a sharply-dressed teenager clutching a version of a Rider Belt known as the Leangle Buckle.

'What the hell is Randall doing here?' Phoenix wondered.

'So what? He's entering the tournament. Let him.' Nero said in ignorance.

'I used to go to high school and be friends with that kid. I never thought he had a fighting bone in his body!' Phoenix continued.

'Well... you and I are just gonna' have to kick his ass then.' Nero responded.

A/N: DJ Diddy Dog KIVA FORM here with my very first Kamen Rider fanfiction. I wanted to do a story based on this kind of concept for ages... but I didn't know how I wanted it to come out since ideas disappear from my thought process very easily (luckily, I caught one!)I'm also very high on 'Donate an OC' fics, but I never wanted to get reported. But since I began with a chapter and did not begin explaining the concept and whatever, I'm going to take OC donations right now! It goes like this:

Name: ----

Age: ---- (18-34, if you can)

Height: -'-

Weight: ---lbs (or for comedic effect, 'none of your damn business')

Interests: (Hobbies)

Personality: (Brash, cocky, never takes anything personally, etc.)

Rider Belt: (Belts already taken are Kiva, Den-O, Femme, Leangle, Delta & Ichigo as I have plans for them)

Have fun, people and remember that the belts are first-come, first-served. Later.

This is a presentation of DJ Diddy Dog - KIVA FORM.

Wake Up! Release the chains of destiny!
