Well, the poll is closed and all of you guys have chosen your favorites for the race. Therefore, here are the results.
First Place: Shinichi Banabara
Second Place: Shogo Kuso
Third Place: Hana Nekozawa
And now, without further ado, the conclusion of the N2 Grand Prix.
Shinichi (1st Place), Shogo (2nd Place) and Hana (3rd Place) all stood on the winner pedestal to receive their medals. Hanyuu was holding the tray as Rika handed them out. She put the bronze medal around Hana's neck, which the Tarantula Cyborg received with a smile and a blush, before putting the silver medal around the Hornet/Wasp Cyborg's neck, which he accepted with a salute. Finally, she put the gold medal around Shinichi's neck and he was grinning from ear to ear.
"Oh, I'm so proud!" said Shiori.
"The winner deserves a kiss then!" said Rena as she hopped over and pulled Shinichi down for a smooch on the lips. There were whistles and whoops as the couple blushed.
Daichi was grumbling with crossed arms as Yokoshima patted his shoulder. "Dai, it's fine," Yokoshima attempted to make his friend feel better, "There's always next time." Daichi mumbled several curses under his breath.
Michiru was disappointed that she had not won but she was happily cheering for Hana when she did, even if it was 3rd Place. "Hana, you did it! I'm so proud of you!" Barely able to contain herself, the Mantis Cyborg gave her best friend a kiss on the lips that really got the guys whooping, whistling and hollering.
"Michiru, please…" Hana whispered in embarrassment. The kiss was giving Shiori ideas judging by the shine in her eyes.
"And now, the trophy," said Rika as she and Hanyuu carried the trophy over to Shinichi. It was in the shape of a huge cup with a cover on top, handles flanking it and written on a silver plaque on the base was #1 of the N2 Grand Prix. Shinichi took the trophy proudly. The cameras flashed at him as he raised it above his head. Cheers and applause erupted from the audience.
Rika spoke to the camera, "And that is out conclusion to the N2 Grand Prix! Tune in next time for-"
"Rika, big trouble! Big trouble!" Hanyuu panicked.
"What is it, Hanyuu?" asked Rika.
"There's a Kaijin attacking the village!" Hanyuu reported. Everyone gasped, except for Rika.
"That's alright, Hanyuu. Shinichi can handle it. Can't you, Shinichi?"
"Of course I can!" said Shinichi as he handed his trophy over to Rena before he jumped off the pedestal and landed on his bike.
"Hey, take this!" said Rika as she opened the top of the trophy and reached inside before tossing something towards Shinichi. He caught it clumsily in his hands, almost dropping it, before finally grasping it. He examined it. It looked like a rectangular device with a spin dial like the ones on those old-fashion telephones. Instead of numbers were the symbols of the Legendary Showa Riders and in the centre of the dial was his symbol, XIII.
"What's this?" Shinichi asked.
"You'll know when you use it, now go!" Rika ordered. Shinichi nodded, put on his helmet, and then dashed off to fight whatever evil had emerged.
"I won't allow you to stop Khan-sama!" The Octopus Darkloid proclaimed
Showa cracked his knuckles, "Then it looks like I have to deal with…" He heard a coin drop and turned to the source of the noise, "Huh?"
A coin rolled towards Showa and stopped at his foot. He picked it up. The coin was green and depicted two crossed katana swords. Then, a young man his age ran over chasing the coin. He had raven-colored hair that was parted in the middle with blue eyes. He was wearing a green t-shirt with a denim jacket, blue jeans and tennis shoes. Around his waist was a strange belt with a rectangular buckle with circular slots in the front along with a disc-like object attached onto the right side.
The Octopus Darkloid got in a fighting stance, "Who is this?"
Showa pointed to himself, "You asking me?" He called to the stranger, "Hey, who are you?"
The stranger saw the coin in Showa's hand, "Oh, excuse me, but that's mine."
Showa blinked, "It is? Here." He tossed the coin to the stranger who caught it."You better get out of here. It's dangerous."
The stranger flipped the coin and smiled, "I will, after I beat him."
Showa and the Octopus Darkloid tilted their heads to the side, "Huh?"
The stranger then reveals he had two additional coins in his hand, one red and the other blue. He slid the green coin into the slot on the far right of the buckle, followed by the red coin being slid into the centre slot and finally the blue coin being slotted into the slot on the far left. He then tilted the buckle at an angle and gripped the disc attached to his belt before swiping it across the coins.
"Henshin!" he called.
There was a chiming sound as giant coins spun around his head, chest and legs. The coins then joined together into a big circle which collided with his chest thus forming a suit of armor. The circle was divided into three vertical segments. The top segment was green with a pair of crossed swords in it, the centre segment was red with a demon's face on it, and the bottom segment was blue with a shuriken in it. The armor itself was mostly black with a matching bodysuit. The gauntlets were red with black tiger stripes and his shoulders had red tiger stripes on them. His helmet was black with a green face plate that had a pair of horns jutting from the brow to make a U-shape. It resembled a samurai's helmet, with a faceplate and blue eyes. Finally, he wore blue boots that went up to his knees.
Showa gawked, "What?"
"Who are you?" the Octopus Darkloid demanded.
The stranger waved, "You can call me 'Orbs'. Kamen Rider Orbs."
Showa was taken aback, "Kamen Rider?"
Orbs then went on the attack, leaping high to avoid the whip-like arms of the Octopus Dopant that came at him. He hit the Darkloid with a kick that sent the demon staggering back before following up with another kick, and another. He continued to unleash a combo of kicks against the demon, sending it tumbling backwards.
The Octopus Darkloid growled and stretched its arms, wrapping Orbs up. The Rider was dragged back but he had a plan. A flaming aura erupted from his arms, burning the tentacles before he turned and struck with a flaming punch across the demon's head.
Orbs jumped to Showa, "I'll finish this up here. You go and save the village."
Showa jumped onto the Showa-Racer, "I dunno who you are, but thanks." The Showa-Racer converted to flight mode and took flight.
Orbs then turned his attention towards the Darkloid gripped the disk on his belt once more. The Octopus Darkloid charged at Orbs who then swiped the disk over his belt buckle, causing the coins to chime once more. Orbs then leapt into the air as three huge rings of light lined up between him and the Darkloid. He fell through the first ring, which caused him to gain insect-like wings made of energy. When he passed through the second ring, his body became engulfed in fire. Finally, he fell through the last ring with both legs outstretched and his feet aiming at the Darkloid, the soles of his armored boots glowing blue.
The Darkloid was hit and exploded on contact. Orbs landed and then looked up at Showa who was flying towards Terror Khan's base.
"Good luck, brother," Orbs whispered.
Terror Khan was a Darkloid sealed centuries ago. His seal has been broken and he rose from the remains of the Hinamizawa dam project to continue his plans. Terror Khan was covered in black armor with curved blades jutting from his shoulder blades and skull-shaped, fanged shoulders. His feet resembled the heads of serpents and he sported sharp claws at his fingertips. He also wore a sleeveless coat over his armored body with a red orb in the centre of his chest. He has long black hair and his white-skinned face is covered up by a helmet that conceals everything but his lips and lower jaw. The helmet resembles a demon's head with a single horn jutting from his forehead.
"Now…DROWN IN TERROR!" Terror Khan declared, giving Hinamizawa two thumbs down. His Paranoia Tower started to power up and soon the wave would engulf Hinamizawa and spread all over Japan. This was just a stepping stone to the Darkloid's plans. After Japan, the rest of the world would be next.
"HEY ASSHOLE!" Terror Khan looked up when he heard the shout to see Kamen Rider Showa flying straight at him on his Showa-Racer. The young Kamen Rider then leapt off his bike and called, "Let's Ride: X!"
In the form of Kamen Rider X, Showa wielded the Ridol Stick and attacked. He swung the weapon about to strike his enemy only for the demonic Terror Khan to dodge the swipes. Showa continued his assault only for Terror Khan to catch it, forcing them back to back. "Ridol Whip!" Showa called before breaking away from Terror Khan to kick him away. Terror Khan dodged the kick but had to duck the whip as it swung overhead of him.
"Let's Ride: Super-1!"
Assuming the form if Super-1, which caused the Ridol to disappear, Showa called out, "Hot & Cold Hands!" to activate Super-1's armaments. The green gloves allowed Showa to access fire and ice powers which he used to wail on Terror Khan. His flaming punches exploded against Terror Khan as his frozen punches stunned him.
"Let's Ride: Amazon!"
Assuming the form of Amazon, Showa clawed at Terror Khan. Sparks flew with each hit. He followed up with a kick but Terror Khan leapt into the air.
"No way! Let's Ride: Skyrider!"
Assuming the form of Skyrider, Showa leapt up and flew after Terror Khan. He grabbed him by the leg to drag him back down with him.
"Let's Ride: Stronger!"
Assuming the form of the Kabuto-themed Rider known as Stronger, Showa leapt into the air and unleashed bolts of lightning at Terror Khan. The lightning bolts exploded around him, causing him to shout out.
"Let's Ride: Roborider!"
Assuming the form of the Prince of Sadness as he landed, Showa opened fire with continuous bursts from his Voltech Shooter. The enraged Terror Khan drew his sword and deflected the shots, causing them to explode behind him. Once he came within range of Showa, he swung his sword to decapitate the nuisance only for Showa to swiftly duck under the swing that would've taken off his head before he jumped up into the air.
"Let's Ride: ZX!"
When Showa landed, Terror Khan came charging at him. ZX removed the shuriken-like explosives mounted on his elbows before throwing them at Terror Khan. They stuck on and exploded, throwing the Darkloid backwards.
"Let's settle this. Higurashi no Yaiba!" Showa called as he resumed his default state.
The sword speared through the air and was caught by Showa who in a flash of green that was accompanied by the chirping of cicadas became Kamen Rider Showa Higurashi. He brandished his sword proudly.
"How dare you…" Terror Khan growled. "HOW DARE YOU!" With a roar he summoned his Darkling minions who then started to dissolve into a black mist that was swallowed up by the red orb in the centre of his chest. His body felt the rise in power as a red-tinted black aura flared out from every pore of his body. "This is my power…NOW DIE!" He unleashed a blast of dark energy from his chest that surged towards Showa. It ripped off chunks of the tower along its way before hitting the Rider with explosive force. He was knocked right off the tower and went screaming as he plummeted to the ground. Terror Khan laughed as Showa continued to fall.
"Kuso…" Showa cursed but then he remembered the item he'd won in the race earlier. He took it out and examined it before he saw that it fit over his Spark Core. "OK, here we go." He spun the dial in a complete rotation before putting it over his Spark Core. The dial then spun and the symbols on it projected outward like holograms.
The Spin Dial Buckle then called out, "FINAL RIDE: SHOWA!"
The symbols spun around him before slamming into his body. Four symbols slammed into his right arm, turning the armor silver with the symbols displayed in gold along its surface. The same thing happened when the other symbols slammed into his arms and legs, turning the armor silver as well with the symbols displayed in gold along the surface. Finally, the XIII symbol slammed into his chest and his torso armor became silver with gold trim. A gold circle framed the XIII symbol and the gold trim was also on his arms and legs. Finally, his helmet changed with an X in between the eye-pieces with the top points of the X extended further over the eyes like antennae. III also became part of the faceplate, in gold, and his eyes turned emerald green. Finally, his scarf became long and resembled a pair of insect wings which stopped his fall before carrying him upwards. He shot to the sky like a rocket, much to the Terror Khan's shock.
"What?" Terror Khan gawked. He then attacked, firing a barrage of dark energy blasts at Showa, only for the Rider to dodge each blast by flipping and spinning through the air. Terror Khan tried once more to destroy the Rider with a massive blast from his chest orb, only for Showa to smash through it.
Showa continued his ascent and then he called out, "SHOWA LEGEND RIDER KICK!" the symbols on his armor burst out, enlarged, and arranged themselves in a straight line. Ichigo's symbol was at the start of the line with Showa's XIII at the end and locked onto the Terror Khan, immobilizing him.
With a roar, Showa descended through the symbols and executed a drop kick. Terror Khan was powerless as the attack connected and he exploded. His tower was also destroyed in the process as it collapsed and Showa flew off in victory.
The entire thing was seen onscreen and everyone cheered.
"What you just saw was Kamen Rider Showa Complete Legend Form!" Rika announced. "It was very awesome, nipah!"
"But, who was that other Kamen Rider? He said his name was Orbs," asked Hanyuu.
Rika shrugged, "Who knows, but we may see him soon. Anyway, that's the end of the N2 Grand Prix!"
"See you again!" both girls waved at the camera.
And that's the end of the HYPER BATTLE FANFIC. Hope you enjoyed reading it as much as I did writing it. I had to fill in the blanks but hope you like it anyway. Ja ne!
