[Super Hero Time]
Shuriken16: Hey people, I hope you all had a great time so far in this new year. I am Taking the opportunity as the new year to do something. I decided to restart Kamen Rider Neo Decade. The reason why it stopped at the beginning was because it was hard to manage two stories at once, balancing between CLAW and this was a real challenge, not to mention the overflow of people wanting to submit riders for my story, which I see now will be better planned out than the first time. So at the end, I'll explain the requirements. Like I mentioned the first time, I always wanted to do this since I watched Decade, and this is just merely my version of Decade. The only difference is that it's a new kid and new worlds based on Stories from various writers. So, with that said and done, let's get started.
(Characters featured are from Kamen Rider CLAW and Kamen Rider Kage by Shuriken16 and Kendell respectively)
Chapter 1: The Next Decade
The city of Neo Tech was laid in waste; Cars were lit up in bright orange flames, Buildings were decimated, and the bodies of innocent civilians were scattered. The only one who remained was a young seventeen year old girl. She was Japanese having her black hair rest on her shoulders. She was wearing a white dress, burned by flames on the edges, as before she came to where she was now, she barely escaped the destruction of a nearby church where she was at, attending a wedding as one of the bridesmaids. She looked around and saw the burning cars, broken buildings and the glass that sparkled on the ground like glitter. She knew exactly what was going on in her home of Neo Tech City: War.
The Girl suddenly heard the tire screech of a motorcycle behind her. She turned seeing something that looked like a Robot. The Robot was colored silver with green stripe patterns on his legs, it had green shoulder pads and green claw-like gauntlets attached to his silver gauntlets. It's helmet had three horns on it, two on the sides and one that was on his forehead, it's mouth piece matching it's gold color. Between them was a black visor with two Jade Green Tiger eyes behind it. He drew his Katana Blade that was equipped on his back and he pointed it at something behind her.
She turned around and found another Robot-looking warrior on it's own Motorbike. This warrior's armor was reddish brown in color, body streamlined and hugging the body. In the joints and the lower torso, the armor gave way to a black fabric, and the most defining trait of the body being the arms, which resembled a more streamlined version of samurai armor. His helmet had a Rhinoceros Beetle horn emerging from the forehead, large, red compound optics under it, the mouthpiece covered by a triangular plate and two small tusks on each side.
The Warriors got off of their bikes and walked away from the girl in front of them. The Bug-like warrior put his hand in front of the Green Crystal on his belt and uttered the words: Terra Shredder. Then a gold and black hilt emerged from the crystal 'eye' into his hand. He pulled it out, producing a katana, its hilt golden, one side seemed much larger, almost like a hand guard, in the center, a green gem like the one on his belt. He took a low stance and prepared for battle. The Tiger-looking Rider, who the Girl determined to be some kind of Ninja, took his stance, charged at him. Her being scared of what was about to happen, ran from the two as their blades clashed with each other. She ran down the street to get away from them, but only ran into more terror. Now instead of two, there were two dozen warriors, each having their own arsenal of weapons using them against each other causing even more destruction to the war-torn city. She tried running to safety, however everywhere she went, there were more warriors, causing more destruction.
She stopped running and just knelt to the ground, crying and praying that it was a bad dream and for all of the turmoil to end. Suddenly, a bright light lit up the darkened streets. And in an instant, the Warriors laid lifeless on the ground, their machines or mythical animals that were traveling on the ground or flying overhead: dead where they laid. The only thing left standing, was a silhouette of a warrior, with glowing blue eyes standing down the street in front of her. Out of pure hysteria she screamed for help, although no one came to her aid...
She blacked out, not knowing what to do, who that warrior was, or why she was the only one left alive. Or so she thought.
"Rachael, Wake Up!" A male voice called to her repeatedly until she came too.
The same girl woke up laying in a bed being woken up by the voice. She looked around and realized that she was in the Nurses office at a school: Her High School.
"Are you OK?" The same voice spoke.
Rachael traced the voice to a Caucasian teen with short brown hair, wearing a gray t-shirt and a open blue and black button-down shirt started at her, with signs of being worried. She sat up, revealing that she wasn't wearing a white dress, but rather a red shirt and a black vest, her hair tied up in a ponytail with a red scrunchy. She rubbed her eyes and jumped out of the bed revealing her blue jeans and white sneakers that sat next to the bed, but were covered by the bed sheet.
"Hey Sam. What's going on?" Rachel asked.
"You fell asleep in Mr. Matthews class and had a mental breakdown in your sleep."
"What are you talking about? I didn't-" It then hit her. The dream started to flood back as she got a bit pale.
"Did you watch Kamen Rider Decade last night?" Sam asked a bit of uneasiness in his voice.
"And read a bit of Fan fiction..." Rachael said, feeling a bit guilty. "Hey this is your fault!"
Sam backed up, startled by her reaction. "What did I do? I just showed you the show. I never said have nightmares about it."
Rachael backed off. She bit her tongue because Sam had a point. "Right..."
"So, you fell any better? I came by because Mr. Matthews wanted me to give you your stuff."
"A bit. What time is it?"
"Almost 12:30. Next is Mr. Ishinomori's Art class and we go home." he answered.
Rachael tied her sneakers, and grabbed her bag. She looked down and looked at the pillow, seeing it stained with tears.
"Was I crying that bad?" she asked.
"Your eyes are as pink as Decade's Armor. But they're starting to light up a bit."
"Please, no more Kamen Rider. This is the third time I had that dream, it's really scaring me now." She said as the two walked out and headed out to their next class. Walking in, they greeted a Asian man, in his late fifties, early sixties: Mr. Shotaro Ishinomori, their art teacher. They took their seats and waited for him to get started on what seemed to be a presentation."
"Good afternoon class." Mr. Ishinomori said as he cleared his throat. As you know, for the last few days, I've been thinking about what to give you for your term project. And I've decided. I want you to make a movie."
The class began to raise their hands, however Mr. Ishinomori waved his hands down, telling them to hold the questions.
"Let me finish before you start asking. The instructions for the movie are simple. You need a decent script, well described characters, and you can use as many people as you want. I'm giving you full authority as to what you want to put in, as long as it's at a PG-13 rating. Anything over or deemed over that rating is an automatic ZERO!" He stressed so that they'd get the point. "The minimum length of the movie has to be 15 minutes, and the Max length can be up to 120 minutes. And it can be of any genre, as I know a few of you have dreams of being in the movie making business after high school, am I right Ms. Hashimura?" he asked, turning to Rachael.
Some of the teens in the class were surprised that Rachael was there, due to the fact that she left the classroom due to her mental breakdown the period before. Rachael on the other hand was embarrassed because she hoped to not be noticed, in addition to being "Put on the spot" by the teacher.
"Yes sir." Rachael replied, sinking in her seat a bit. The fact was that Rachael came from a family of movie directors and she always dreamt of being one someday, which is why in her Art Class, she always spent a little time after school learning about different ways to make her beginning work, which would be video editing and movie making, better by her Art Teacher, who just happened to be a close family friend, and a retired Japanese movie director. Her Best Friend Sam, who she known since kindergarten, was the same way, but he was more of a writer, illustrator and actor rather than a movie editor. He normally left the video work to Rachael.
"So, if you look on the calender, it is now Monday, January 10th 2011, you have until June to have a finished product. If not, you fail the term so you better start picking partners and planning your stuff out now."
The bell rung dismissing class as the kids collected their stuff and walked out of the classroom. Rachael and Sam walked out together as Mr. Ishinomori watched as the two left, smiling.
"I'm home." Rachael called as she walked into her house. She took off her shoes and slipped on the pink slippers that sat next to the door. Sam, did the same, as this is respectful to remove your shoes when entering someone's house in the Japanese's culture. They head down to the basement, hearing something like a stereo system shaking the house from the ground up. There they find, a man in his late twenties, early thirties watching a recent Japanese sci-fi movie, while taking notes on it.
"Hey welcome back, I didn't hear you guys walk in." The man said, turning off his stereo.
"Hey Takeshi." Rachael said to the man.
"Yo Bro." Sam added, as the man turned to them. He had short black hair and was dressed in mostly black except for his shirt, which was a white button-down shirt with the collar undone. He also wore white Nike's with the Nike symbol a black color. This was Rachael's older Brother: Takeshi Hashimura.
"Hey how was school?"
"Great, it couldn't be better." Rachael replied almost instantly.
"We got a project that we might need some help on though." Sam admitted.
"OK, shoot."
"We have to make a movie. It can be of any genre, and we can use as many characters as we like. It has to be between fifteen minutes and two hours, but the characters have to be well described and the script has to be extremely good to listen to."
"So basically, you want me, a newly and upcoming director to help his little sister and boyfriend make a movie for their term project. Is that right?"
"Yeah that about sums it u- Hey! I'm not her boyfriend!" Sam jolted when he played the words back. It was then that the two noticed something: Rachael left the room.
"She had the dream again didn't she?" Takeshi asked him.
"The dream with all the warriors fighting in a war torn Neo Tech? She had to be taken out of class because she went into a mental shock, crying hysterically in her sleep."
"I thought so. What made her start having these dreams?"
"We were watching tokusatsu last weekend for movie ideas and we came across Kamen Rider: Decade. Then we started building from there, wanting to make our own version of it, which we called: Neo Decade. Here's somewhat of a picture of him. I didn't finish it, but you get the idea right?"
Takeshi examined the picture of Neo Decade. He looked exactly like the regular Kamen Rider Decade; if any new added features, it would probably be the black gauntlet on his left arm and the belt, which looked similar to Kamen Rider Diend's belt. On one side of his belt, he carried something like a Silver Gun and a Black sword both of which had Decade's insignia in a Grayish-blue color while on the other side of the belt held a White Trading Card Game deck case with the same mark. Additionally the feature that stood out the most was the Crystal-blue colored eyes.
"I didn't finish coloring it, He's supposed to be Silver colored. So far I only got the eyes and weapons done. But doesn't it look good?"
Takeshi focused on it hard before giving him an answer. "It looks great. Um, I know this is sudden, but do you mind running to the store really quick?"
"What for?"
"Oh, just some stuff for you movie if you really need my help. I'll make a list and you can go pick the supplies up. While you're out, I'll check on Rachael to see if she's fine." He explained.
"Yeah that's not a problem."
"Great, I'll be right back." Takeshi ran upstairs while Sam took a seat in his chair.
Once Takeshi got upstairs, he walked into the kitchen, and took out his cellphone, dialing a number and calling it. Who replied on the other side was a familiar voice.
"Hello?" said the voice.
"Hey there Mr. Ishinomori." Takeshi started. "Listen I have a favor to ask."
"What's up? I always never had a problem with helping out my favorite student."
"It's about "It." It's about to start."
"Oh..." Mr. Ishinomori replied. "Well, I guess I'll meet him there then."
"Thanks, he's on his way."
"You can count on me."
Takeshi hung up, as he quickly finished the list. Sam walked up to see what was keeping him, as Takeshi gave him the list as he sped off.
"Well." Takeshi started. "People who say their lives are like a movie... Haven't seen anything yet."
Sam ran down the street, heading to a nearby Best buy for the supplies. As he walked into the store, he headed straight for the Camcorder section. He scanned the whole area until he found what he was looking for.
"The JVC - Everio Digital Camcorder with 2.7" Color LCD Monitor. And it's in my favorite color: Blue." Sam said obtaining his item. "Okay, so I got that, now I need- Oh I'm sorry, I didn't see you." He apologized as he walked into someone while leaving the aisle.
"Oh it's no problem Mr. Williams." The voice replied.
Sam looked up to see Mr. Ishinomori standing before him. "Oh, Mr. Ishinomori, I didn't expect to see you here."
"Neither did I." He lied. "So, shopping for you project I see?"
Sam nodded. "Rachael's bro said he'd help us, but he wants me to have my own personal camera, that way we can catch some scenes wherever we are."
"My, My that Takeshi. He's forever helping someone when it comes to making movies, no matter how demanding. How's his directing career?"
"He was working on something when we got to Rachael's house. I think he got a Job of bringing a Japanese sci-fi movie from Japan, state-side."
"Wow, that's really hard. I remember my first directing project, I got the Job of directing an Amine based on a Manga that my father created back in the 1970's."
"Interesting." Sam check the time on his watch, realizing that he had to get back to Takeshi.
"Well it was good talking to you Mr. Ishinomori." Sam said as he shook his teacher's hand. He nodded likewise.
"Hold on a sec." Mr. Ishinomori said. He reached into his bag and pulled out a White box and then his wallet, pulling out three one hundred dollar bills. He handed both to Sam, who stood dumbfounded. "What's all this?"
"Something I owe Takeshi and the money for the camera. Tell him we're even." He smiled. "Have a good day Mr. Williams." He then took off as Sam left as well to pay for his camera.
Mr. Ishinomori turned and smirked. "The seeds are planted, now it's time for his destiny to grow."
Back at Rachael's house, Takeshi finishes talking on the phone with Mr. Ishinomori again as he walked upstairs to check on Rachael. However, when he got there, she was gone, the window was broken and there was water everywhere, soaking whatever else was broken in the room.
"Oh no, It starting!" Takeshi said as he ran to the window. He looked down the street, to see Rachael in the arms of something resembling a monster resembling a Japanese Blue Crab in Samurai armor. The skin of the monster was blackish-blue while the armor was a light swamp green color. The armor covered his torso, covering the six appendages on his back, two folded into it's collarbones, the two middle ones on it's stomach and the last two wrapping around it's legs. It's pincers, where Rachael rested were white and slowly turned red as they got closer to the tip. Takeshi immediately called Sam to tell him what happened.
"What, She's been kidnapped?" Sam asked feeling the distress in his voice. "What should I do?"
"I'll figure something out but for now, just come straight here OK? Sam? Sam are you there?"
"Uh, I found Rachael." Sam replied, his voice cracked.
Takeshi froze. "Oh Crap."
The Blue crab monster smirked at his new target. It put Rachael on the ground and clapped it's pincers together.
"Who are you?" Sam asked.
The Blue Crab laughed. "My name is: Mizu-Kani-Watarigani. I am a warrior from the Water Tribe of the legendary Akuma. Who might you be?"
Sam looked at Rachael, and suddenly developed fury in his eyes. "Very Pissed off."
Not realizing it, Sam blindly charged the Crab monster and punched it. The Blue Crab Akuma laughed as he swatted Sam away, not being affected by him. Again he tried again, with the same result. Sam was thrown to the ground where his stuff laid, landing onto the white box that was meant for Takeshi. The cardboard box broke apart as Sam got up. But he suddenly turned when he heard a whistle from afar. He saw Mr. Ishinomori walking towards him. He then also heard a Motorcycle as well, seeing Takeshi on a 2011 BMW K1300S with Neo Decade's Insignia in place of the BMW insignia.
"You two..." Sam started, wiping the blood from his lip.
"Hey, thanks for delivering the package to him, Shotaro-Ojisan." Takeshi said.
Mr. Ishinomori laughed. "Well, it is his job isn't it?"
"What are you two talking about?"
"Oh yes. Take-kun, hold the Akuma until I finish explaining to Sam what's going on, will you?"
Takeshi cracked his knuckles. "Sure thing." Takeshi then charged and ducked a swipe from the Akuma, sweep kicking it and, driving the monster as far away from the rest of them.
"Are you OK Sam?" Mr. Ishinomori asked him.
"Not until I figure out what's going on. What is that thing, what's with the package and what are you two up to?"
"Man, you and Takeshi, always want an answer for everything. Well lets quiet thing down first." He replied snapping his fingers. Time suddenly froze around them as the sky turned dark. Mr. Ishinomori pointed up, showing Sam what appeared to be trillions of Planet Earths.
"This is what is known as the Multiverse. Each world is parallel to itself and every nine worlds has it's own specific Guardian to watch over it called Decade. Decade is a warrior that travels through parallel worlds to stop any evil that poses a thread to it's destruction. The previous Decade: Tsukasa Kadoya, protected and fulfilled his duties of his territory and now lives peacefully with his friends, traveling the worlds. Now it's your turn to do the same.
Sam backed up. "What are you talking about? Kamen Rider Decade is just a TV Show that's-"
"That's based on the Legendary Warrior: Decade." Mr. Ishinomori interrupted. "Now, it's time for you to be: The Next Decade, Sam Williams."
Sam stood speechless as the ground lit up where the box laid. He looked down, finding a Black Gauntlet and a White Trading Card Deck Case."
"This is..."
"Neo Decade's Arsenal. Which it just so happens to be Your Arsenal: Neo Decade. Try it on."
Sam obeyed, giving up on doubting anything anymore. He strapped the gauntlet on his wrist. It was black, with two buttons: one Blue and one Red. It was also hollow in the inside. He pressed the blue button on the gauntlet and out slid a card tray from the back.
"Neo Decade's cards are put there. The red button initiates any of the card's activation. Also it's voice activated and it will only activate with the Japanese word for Transform, something you should know by now. So, are you ready?"
Sam opened the Deck case and skimmed through the cards he then pulled out two cards, they were Blue, with a bar code on the left side of the card. Both Labeled "Kamen Ride" on them, next to the name of the card.
"Let's Ride."
His teacher smiled. "Glad to Hear it."
The sky lit up again and time began to move once more. Sam looked up and saw Takeshi holding his own against the Akuma until Sam spoke.
"Yo Takeshi, I got this." Sam smiled, a new attitude entering the seventeen year old.
Takeshi kicked the crab away from him. "You know what you're doing right?"
"Yeah, I got it. After all..." He held his wrist up and held one of the cards in his hand. He pressed the blue button as the card tray slid open.
"KAMEN RIDE:" The Gauntlet announced in a robotic voice.
"I'm just a Passing through Kamen Rider, nothing special."
"Like the sound of that." He smirked.
"HENSHIN!" Sam called out.
He slapped the card in and pushed the tray back in. the Gauntlet scanned the card and made a hologram with the writing: Neo Decade in big blue letters.
"NEO DECADE!" It announced again. The gauntlet then produced the silhouette of 9 humanoids that looked like Silver Mannequins, as they all slammed on Sam, one by one each producing a new bit of armor on his person, until the last one turned into blue holographic cards and slid into his helmet, illuminating the eyes. With his transformation completed, Kamen Rider Neo Decade stood in front of Mizu-Kani-Watarigani, his opponent.
"Sorry, I didn't give you my name." He started. "My name is Sam Williams: The Next Decade!"

[Super Hero Time]
Nolan: Hey people, you guys should remember me as Kamen Rider CLAW: Shinobi Mode from Stories: Kamen Rider CLAW and Kamen Rider FANG. As you can see, Sammy's getting his new debut for the new year, and by the looks of it, it came out quite well. So, as such, we at Shuriken16 productions would like to keep this story alive and kicking so the Boss-man can have another story to be proud of. So I'll give him the stage.
Shuriken16: Hey I hope you all enjoyed this, and like I mentioned I'm reaching out to the readers who want to submit. However there are some conditions that some aren't going to like, however if I want this to take off right, then I'll need cooperation. So:
most important rule: The character, and this'll be in bold: HAS TO HAVE THEIR OWN STORY. I know some people were able to write crossover stories with submitted characters from people who just thought of off the top of the head. But, unfortunately I'm not that. The first time, people were shooting characters at me an hour after it was first posted, not only that, some I had no idea what to do with them. There wasn't any plot to them, their transformations were confusing as sin, (and I mean that, it's a sin to make a confusing transformation without demonstrating it in a story, let alone not have one for them.) And the people more or less wanted me to write the story for the characters. I have trouble writing two stories at once. So, if you're going to submit, please have some kind of story for them. The other reason why I ask for that is because I need something to work off of. For example, one of the riders, and the Akuma, are from the story Kamen Rider Kage. The author, Kendell gave me full permission to use it, so I did. There, spoiler Kamen Rider Kage, and my two stories CLAW and FANG (which has an Kuuga/Agito relationship) are three stories confirmed to be featured. I read his story, and I love it, so using them in the first chapter, instead of mine, was easier so I can get used to writing about someone else's story in my own words almost (I kinda copied the armor description and weapon design from his story, since I can't explain things very well (^^').) SO in a pm message, I'm gonna need:
Character: (Real Name & ND Name), age, clothes, what he/she looks like. etc)
Rider: (Design/motif, weapons, bike etc)
Story/World it's featured in: (Helps me understand the situation of the story/world being visited.)
Monsters/Kaijin: (Same as the Rider description)
Notable characters: (Allies)
Antagonist: (Slightly different from the Monster, since I'm being specific as to who the antagonist is in the current world)
Shuriken16: OK, that should be it for that. The reason why it says ND Name, is because if it's going to be a Decade-type story, people need Alternate names, Right? So if it's not too much trouble, just change the first names of the characters you submit. (Unless they're exclusive characters to Neo Decade.) Now I'm definitely going to get asked about Neo Decade's color scheme, so I have two reasons for that.
My story Kamen Rider Neo Decade, the first one was posted on: May 15th 2009. Kamen Rider Climax Heroes, the video Game, featuring Kamen Rider: Dark Decade, came out August 6th 2009, nearly three months later. Both just happen to have the same color scheme: Silver and Black with Blue eyes. This is just for anyone who thinks I ripped of Dark Decade.
Dark Decade was a Game Only Character in Climax Heroes and is in no way a canon character as he never was mentioned or existed in the actual TV series. So no one can say that I ripped off of him. (which now that I mention it, there's no Dark Double either (0.0), unless Eternal is counted)
Sam: You done with your ranting?
Shuriken16: Yeah, I'm done.
Sam: Great, now we don't have time to give myself a re-intro.
Shruiekn16: Next Chapter, I promise. Until then everyone.
