The next Kamen Rider Knight

[Cypherxk2]

School started out like any other day for me, except for the fact I kept hearing this high pitched shriek. It drove me nuts trying to figure out what was causing it. Nothing I did blocked it out or relieved the pain that was growing in my head. Given how hard it made things, I stopped by a shop mirror, not noticing the armored figure that mirrored my movements as I held my head.

My school wasn't that faraway, but this pain was excruciating and hard to ignore. Just as I thought I'd pass out from it, I was pulled through the mirror by some strange spider. My scream was drowned out by a high pitched bat screech. That got the it's attention as the pain in my head vanished and I bolted, feeling some sort of rectangular box the size of a large smartphone materialize in my pocket. I took it out and looked at it, not sure what it was but pulling out a card.

It had the word Contract on the top. Just as I was wondering what the heck it was, a mechanical bat swooped down at me. Reflexively, I held the Contract card up to it. The bat was absorbed into the card, changing it. The box changed too, getting something signifying a bat on the front. Suddenly, knowledge that wasn't mine flooded my head. I knew what to do know. It was my only chance.

((Here's the cards associated with Kamen Rider Knight. *Henshin means Transform*.))

"Now or never...." I said, stopping in front of a ramen shop and holding the box toward the window with the bat facing the glass with my left hand, "*Henshin*!!"

I'd brought my right arm across my body before I said "Henshin", my left hand dropping to my left hip as a strange belt appeared around my wait before I inserted the box into "Buckle". After I saw two transparent figures in armor appear, they converged on me. One moment I looked normal, the next I looked like someone from a comic or manga. I wasn't sure why but I liked how I looked. It fit me like a glove.

I was recalled to my current predicament by the screech of the strange spider as it jumped. Jumping to the side as I drew the rapier on my left hip, My right hand gripped the handle of the rapier as the spider landed, leaving a small crater in it's wake. I didn't feel it would be enough so I shifted the rapier to my left hand with the blade reversed as I drew a card and pulled on the pommel of the rapier to open what appeared to be a card slot. Inserting the card, i pushed the pummel down as I heard something like a voice call out.

"Sword Vent!"

I caught the lance like weapon mid-dodge, rolling as I hit the ground. Coming back to my feet, I used another card. It was labeled, "Guard Vent", making the mechanical bat from before attach to my back like a cape as I took a charge from the spider. My armored boots dug into the ground as I swept the sweptin front of me. The impact was incredible but It hadn't bothered me.

"Nasty Vent!"

That made the creature writhe in pain as it was hit with supersonic waves. Jumping away, I finally went on the offensive by removing most of it's legs with the lance. Seeing it hit the ground, The lance was stabbed into the ground as I dusted my hands. I was slightly out of breath but I felt great. It was the first time I felt good at something.

"Trick Vent!"

"Final Vent"

Wielding the lance as I ran, four more copies of me appeared as I jumped into the air high above my enemy. Flipping forward, the lance ended in a piercing position as my right leg was in a kick position. In that brief moment, I wondered what I'd become before I started descending rapidly. Halfway down, the cape wrapped around me forming something like a drill as a battle cry erupted from my chest. The next thing I was aware of was an explosion as the creature was obliterated by five copies of the same attack. I was kneeling in the center of ground zero as a voice rang out amongst slow clapping.

"Not bad.... Not as clean as the Original Kamen Rider Knight but.... Not bad nonetheless." the voice said, coming from a man in red, Dragon-motifed armor.

"Who are you?!" I asked, lance defensively held in front of me as I glared at him, "what do you want?!"

"I need your help." The man replied, seeming undisturbed by my actions, "As for who I am....You can call me Kamen Rider Ryuki."
