Dream- a succession of images, thoughts,or emotions passing through the mind during sleep.
Nightmare-a terrifying dream in which the dreamer experiences feelings of helplessness, extreme anxiety,sorrow,etc.
Dreamon- The Monsters that are created from such dreams...
SADE- The organization created to stop them...
In the past, there have been reports of people developing phobias of things from their nightmares. It would get up to the point where they would mutate into the thing that they feared the most... a Dreamon. The organization SADE, created weapons to defeat the monsters, namely their most famous: The Kamen Rider CLAW series. 40% of all of SADE's agents are Riders, about 90% of them belonging to their Strike Force. The remaining 10% are unique in that they have their own customized systems, that they used to save NYC in the past, not once, but twice even. This story unfortunately, isn't about them per se, but who they are about to train, for what's about to arise, will be more than they ever experienced in their young lives...
Tokyo, Japan: June 27th 2010...
At the SADE Tokyo branch...
Watashi wa, watashi wa kono higeki o shiraseru itadaki arigatōgozaimasu sanshō shite kudasai. Tenki no yoi hi no shirei-kan ga arimasu. (I see, Thank you for letting me know about this tragedy. have a nice day commander.)
The man hung up the phone and opened his drawer, pulling out a deck of ACE of Spades Cards. He flicks through them as he puts them back into the desk. His intercom goes off altering him about an upcoming meting. He takes his suit jacket and walks towards the door, turning off the lights and closing the door.
As the man left, he walked down the hall where he met three teenagers, waiting for him. The first was dressed in mostly red with some black clothing on him. He was Caucasian and he had short dirt blonde hair. He wore a red shirt with a black vest white jeans and red and white sneakers. The second was a girl, Hispanic, wore a black blouse with a red medium-long skirt. She had sunglasses hanging on her shirt and she wore red contacts for show. She also had red colored diamond earrings on both ears, that sparkled from the ceiling lights in the building. Her hair was black with a zigzag of red in it. The final teen, who had mostly black on was African-American with a red backpack slung on his arm. He wore a custom-made black and red Boston Celtics Basketball Jersey, as he spun the red and black Basketball on his finger like child's play doing tricks with it, only NBA players would pull off.
The man smiled as he met with them. "Welcome you three, I've been expecting you to show up." He greeted them in English.
The first teen, Tyson Simmons, bowed at the man, thanking him in Japanese. This prompted the other two to do the same.
The man smiled. "Wow, you're Japanese is excellent. But I speak English, so don't worry." He reassured.
"Why did you call us here?" The other teen, Ken Matthews asked.
"That's right, I forgot to tell you. Well to make a long story short, how would you three like a Job?"
"A Job?" The last teen, Marissa Gonzales asked.
"Yes, a Job. You see, there have been some problems, going on, and I need some young people to help with it, and what makes it even better, is that if you're hired, then you get promoted instantly."
"What kind of Job is it?"
"Think of it as an assassination job."
This caught their attention. "What do you mean?"
"I mean, you kill the Kamen Riders In America, and I'll give you the powers to do it; how about it?"
Ken, who was dribbling his ball caught it in midair and crushed it. "I got a better Idea; we assassinate you instead." Ken got into a stance, and growled as he transformed into the Cheetah D-Brid, a red and black humanoid Cheetah-like monster. The other two teens smirked.
"Well, I Guess I can't let Ken have all the fun right?" Marissa transformed as well into the Butterfly D-Brid while Tyson gave in and transformed into the Phoenix D-Brid.
"Suddenly, I'm liking that Idea." Tyson replied.
The man gritted his teeth. "You three are going to regret this."
"It's not our fault that we have honor. Some of us D-Brids are willing to cooperate with humans, as did the KING of Spades and QUEEN of Hearts, as well as the BLACK Joker." The Cheetah D-Brid replied.
"Well in five minutes, tell me that again, that is... He pulls out his deck of ACE of Spades. The other three are dumbfounded.
"It can't be... you're..." Marissa stuttered.
"Exactly, that's exactly who I am... HENSHIN!" The man replied...
The time is September 2010; three months after the events of the Second Shadow Day and one year after the events of the First. With their memories regained, Nolan Johnson, also Known as Kamen Rider CLAW: Shinobi Mode, has finished High School with his friends and continued on in life, looking ahead towards the future. He and the others, it being another School Year and all for NYC Public Schools, and SADE academy for that matter, become teachers for the new agents, interested in becoming part of the Strike Force someday. But as mentioned, the story isn't going to focus on their lives as much, as they have lived their adventures. Rather, the lives of three Rookies, who will become SADE's Next Generation of Riders, wielding the Fatal Animatronic Neo Gladiators, system. The FANG System...
Chapter 1: Welcome to the Jungle part 1
September 7th 2010
Seventeen Year Old Nolan Johnson laid in his bedroom that Tuesday Night, thinking about the next day ahead. The next day, he was starting in his Trade School, taking up Computer Repair as a Trade. He also thought about how how that it was the first day for students for NYC and SADE Academy alike. He, Tim and Yuliya were to become teachers for the Strike Force. He smiled as he looked towards the floor, watching his pet cat, Sonny and his "Other pet cat" Kaiger, his CLAW Beast, sleep on one another like family. He then thought of his friends, who has been with him for over a year, thinking about
everything they had been through, saving the world twice from the D-Brids, the creatures that wanted to make the human race crumble due to their inner fears.
"I guess they're my family too." He said as he looked at his cellphone. He read the time on it as he decided that 11:30pm was enough to make him go to bed for school. So, he went and got ready for bed.
The next day, At McKee High School, Yuliya Kim, one of Nolan's Friends, walked into the Lunch Room on the 4th floor to pick up her program and to leave, as the First Day of class didn't technically begin until the next day, or in this case, the next Monday due to the holidays. So, she got her schedule, left and headed to the Staten Island to cross into Manhattan to go and head to SADE. As she was leaving, three teens walk pass her. She stopped for a second as she took another glance at them. The first teen was a girl, a bit tall to be a Freshman, so Yuliya figured her to be a sophomore at least. The girl had long curly hair, and wore a orange and white shirt, with a little dinosaur on it with the words: Rawr on the from of it in a word bubble. She wore black jeans and black sneakers, having a red bag slung on her shoulder. The second teen was a bit wide, but not fat. He was Caucasian, having short brown hair wearing a black shirt with a Silver electric Ax guitar extending across it, wearing blue jeans and black sneakers. He had a green book bag on his back as he talked to the Hispanic teen, about his height, with a bit much of facial hair for his age. He wore a plain red shirt with black pants and light blue and dark blue sneakers.
"They seem familiar, where do I remember them. Oh well, I'm just going to head to SADE then. You ready Kyuki?" She turn her head to see a small Black and Sky Blue fox pop from her bag.
"Whenever you are." It replied as Yuliya nodded and continued walking.
Meanwhile at SADE, Timothy "Tim" Johnson didn't have Class this morning because of the holidays, so he decided to head to SADE just because. He rode into the garage, taking his helmet off and heading into the elevator to the lobby floor. There, he met Jessica "Jessie" Stewart, another one of his friends. Jessie had her camera and some folders with her as she was walking back to Lieutenant Rodriguez's office. In those three months almost, she decided to stay off the battlefield, so she could get a hands-on experience on how life working in an office is like, by becoming their Commander's assistant, and at the same time, taking pictures for her photography class. Tim joined her as they headed to the office as they went inside. There they found a Hispanic middle-aged man, easily mistaken for Caucasian due to his light complexion, dressed in a black suit and a red tie, sipping coffee and going through data on his computer. Next to him was a small black panter that slept soundly at his free, non-moving arm.
"Morning Uncle-G." Tim called their commander.
Rodriguez glared at him which Tim payed no attention to it. He took a seat at the couch in the room as Jessie handed him the info in the folder.
"So, this is the students entering the academy?" Rodriguez asked her.
"Yeah, that should be all of them. Will there be anything else?"
"No, that's okay, I'll let you know if I need anything. Thanks Jessie."
Jessie then walked over to the couch and took a seat at the opposite end, pulling out a book to read. Tim stared at the ceiling, as a small Sapphire and black wolf left his bag, jumping up onto the table. It walked to the computer screen reading the words on it.
"FANG System Version Two?" Kiba, the wolf repeated. I thought Project FANG was discontinued ever since Shadow Day three months ago."
"It was, I just re-continued it, is all. By the way Tim; why are you here so early?"
Tim looked at the commander. "I have no classes for the rest of the week."
"Ah, I see. Well in that case, take a look at this folder and see if that adds up to one hundred students."
"For the SADE academy?" Tim asked as he went down the list of names. He stopped suddenly about three times, when he came across the names: Amy Reed, Joshua Garret and William Badillo. "I know these three..." Tim said.
"Know who?" Jessie asked walking over. Tim smacked the folder shut to hide his discovery. "Don't worry about it. It was nothing."
Jessie glared at him as well, but unlike the commander, it didn't faze him. "Nice try, only Rodriguez can intimidate me."
"Why's that?"
"Because he signs my paycheck."
"Of course, you'd fear the one who'd give you money." Jessie sighed as she took a seat. Tim looked through the folder again as he went down the list, counting one hundred. He looked at the names again as he rethought the past events of the three riders from the months before. He snaps out of it however, thinking of it as a coincidence and hands the folder back. "Yeah, that should be one hundred students."
"Great, so then we split the classes up twenty-five a piece and you each get a class. Sounds fair?"
"Yeah, that sounds great." Jessie replied.
"Yeah, sure thing."
Yuliya walks in all of a sudden greeting everyone.
"You okay, you look out of it." Jessie asked as she walked over again.
"It's nothing; I just thought I saw some kids that I knew from a while back."
Tim knew what she was hinting at and decided to keep quiet.
"Well before you came, we were going over class arrangements and who's getting what."
"Oh Interesting, did I get anyone special?" She asked.
"I still need to split the classes up. You'll have the schedules tomorrow afternoon when class starts."
"Okay then. Other than that, what's going on?"
"Nothing much, just a bit bored." Tim admitted.
"Well, you want to spar a bit?" Yuliya suggested.
"Yeah, go on you two need the training anyway." Rodriguez replied.
"You heard him, lets get moving."
"I'm going too because I still need to get pictures for my class." Jessie added walking to the door. The door slid open as she walked out. The other two teens followed suit as the three disappeared. As they walked down the hallway upstairs, the same three teens from the school head to the reception desk, asking for directions to Rodirguez's office. Then they walk up to the room as they knock.
"So you've arrived." Rodriguez said as he opened the door. The three teens greeted him as he offered them seats and drinks.
"So, why did you want us three to come here early?" the girl spoke.
"Oh, I do this to all the new rookies, you three in particular. I just had a few questions."
"Like what?" The Caucasian teen asked.
"Have you three ever heard of Dreamon?" he said straight forwardly.
"Those monsters that appeared all over the city, yeah." The Hispanic teen replied. "What about them?"
"Were, you three ever transformed into one of them?"
This scared the three, but when they realized that he was serious, they thought.
"Well, last April when I was visiting a friend here in NYC, I was caught off guard by someone who threw a card at me. I blacked out from it, but afterward I had nightmares about me being a Velociraptor fighting someone who was wearing black and red plated armor, looking like a ninja or something. Point is, he saved me that night, and I wanted to thank him for it." The Girl replied.
"Well, I met my friend Will, here in Manhattan because I was visiting and he said he was going to show me around the morning when that "Day" happened. I blacked out as well and when I woke up, I saw two robots, one looked like a Samurai, while the other looked like a futuristic soldier. The third was a red and black bird-like creature, like a swan. I tried to thank them, but I blacked out again.
"Same here." Will said. "I was out of school because of regents week and I promised that I was going to show my friend Josh around. But that "Day" happened and what he said."
"Interesting." Rodriguez said as he was looking at the research Jessie was able to gain from the student registrations. He compares them with his notes from the Shadow Day Incident and the FANG Systems, Type 02 03 and 04.
"Maybe This'll work after all. Okay then, that's all, thank you for your time, if you want, you can ask the girl at the reception desk to arrange a tour for you if you have any other questions."
"That'd be great, Thank You." Amy replied.
The three teens leave the room as Rodriguez read his notes and began to arrange the classes.
"You're up to something." Shade, the panther said as he woke up.
"You know me too well. Those kids are perfect."
"Why's that? Is it because it just so coincidental that their Dreamon mutations match the FANG system's animal forms? Or is it something else you have hidden?"
"A bit of both." He smirked. "Okay, that should do it."
"Well, that was fast!"
"Okay, then with that done, I'm going to watch them spar for a bit, you coming?"
"Well, I can either sleep, or watch a bunch of teenagers fight... I'll do both." Shade hopped on Rodriguez's shoulder as they left.
Meanwhile on the outside, Three teens sit in a park, hanging out. As they were talking, they hear a faint whistle in the air, making them stand up.
"I Guess it's that time." One of the teens said, transforming into a Rhino D-Brid. The other two transformed into the Stag Beetle and Coyote D-Brids respectively as they walked off in the direction of SADE...
[To Be Continued...]
[Super Hero Time]
Josh: Ah, A new School Year and a new story, despite the fact that this felt like one dry chapter to be honest.
Amy: Don't worry, the next chapter, will be exciting because we'll make our debut, right?
Will: But we did.
Amy: As Riders silly. We'll join the ranks of the SADE Agents as the FANG Riders.
Will: Really now? I'd love to see that.
Josh: So will I, I guess we'll just have to stay tune. Good Night Everybody!
