Birth of a new DECADE

 

Earth……peaceful……a planet filled with wonders……humans live harmoniously on it……And every single day, millions of people passed by each other, yet not one of them notice the presence of each other. Humans have become unaware, they don’t know what is happening around them……But it is best to keep it that way……for their safety.

In the mirror dimension……

            Surrounded by swarms of monster known as Cyrax, a creature that has a similar size compared to a full-grown man, it has a dark-green body, emerald-green eyes and razor-sharp claws as its hands. All of them had their eyes locked on one target……Kamen Rider Decade. Decade calmly takes out his sword and swings his swords as the first batch of Cyraxs pounce on him. Bloods and bodies covered the floor green. Without a moment of rest, more and more Cyraxs sprint towards Decade. Without any hesitation, Decade selects a card from the cardholder located at the side of his waist. He inserts the cards into his transformation belt, Cade. Cade is located at the front of his waist and Cade is used to transform into Kamen Rider Decade. A robotized sound is form “Attack ride” follow by a sound “Spiral”. Decade’s sword is duplicated, he wields two swords at the side, spinning at a fast pace, shredding all of the Cyraxs. After his ability wore off, he notices one of the Cyrax was not dead, he immediately turns his sword into a gun and shot the remaining Cyrax. Unfortunately, the explosions were still ignited and bomb some huge holes in the mirror dimensions. Decade was about to get disappointed for not protecting the mirror dimensions but he realises that he had no time for that as he was about be late for school. He quickly went into the portal and jump back into the real world. He turns off his transformation as soon as he enters the portal. Left with only 10 minutes, he sprints swiftly across trees, cars and e-bikers. He finally arrived at UTAR. Down with 3 minutes, he rushes through the gates of UTAR and climbs up the stairs. HE HAS MADE IT. He reaches his classroom with 47 seconds left. “Looks like someone is burning the midnight oil again” said by Alex with a mischievous smile . Adam replied “Haiyah, can’t hide anything from you, broo.” After a while, their conversation is paused as the lecturer goes into the class and the lesson has officially started. And that’s the life of Adam……

After the lesson ended……

            Adam takes a stroll alone in the park of UTAR, enjoying the lovely scent of pollen in the air, Adam takes a look around the park as if he is satisfied and relieved. “What a magnificent scene to be seen” said grateful by Cade. Adam replies “It sure is, partner. Everyone is doing their own thing without noticing that there is another world that lurks among them and dangers could pop right up at any second.” Adam also exclaims with an admiring tone “Guess being a mere mortal is simple yet happy.” Cade says “You should be glad as well, Adam, as this is what we had always been fighting for, and we had done a great job in sustain a happy ending for everyone.” Cade also mentions “By the way, thanks for bringing me here. I know it’s a hard time for you to keep me hidden from the crowd and hide our true identities from everyone.” Meanwhile, Adam notices there are three boys encircling a tiny boy in the middle. The three bigger boys were pushing the boy and grabbing his collars. Adam quickly figures out that the tiny boy is being bullied by the three other taller boys. Without a glimpse of fear, Adam walks towards them. Bully 1 says “HEY KID, HAND IN ALL YOUR MONEY NOW! OR ELSE……” Adam interrupted the bully 1 before he could finish his sentence “Hey there, maggots, got a pop quiz for you, how many moves does it take to take down three punching bags?” Before the bullies could answer Adam’s question, Adam lands a powerful right hook on bully 1’s face. Adam dodges the right cross of bully 3 and inflicts two sidekicks on the chests of bully 2 and 3. In a split second, Adam uses a turning hook kick on bully 1 as soon as he gets up. Bully 2 tries to land an uppercut on Adam, but unfortunately he misses. Adam locks his uppercut, twists his arm and throws him right at bully 3. All of the bullies ran away ingloriously. The tiny boy thanks Adam while Adam walks away after receiving his gratitude. Cade says “Just another normal day huh.” “I’m used to it, partner. It’s not like there’s something out there that poses a threat to me.” replied by Adam while walking farther……and……farther……

Somewhere in Antarctic……

            Heavy blizzards cover the entire military base in thick layers of snowflakes. Soon, the land covered in white turns into a red sea instantly. “Where is the Kaiju Solution?” asked by a mysterious man in black. “You will never have it! The only thing you are getting is disappointment.” answered unclearly by one of the soldiers as his head is pressed vigorously on the control panels. The men in black says “We’ll see” while wielding his sword high up in the air. The soldier exclaimed “HE’S HERE!!” before his head fell on the ground. The other soldiers quickly get into position with a target on sight, rains of bullet were shot towards the mysterious men in black. But it did him no harm as if he was wearing some sort of bulletproof armor. The soldiers retreated quickly, finding themselves at a disadvantage, one of the soldiers was lifted up and thrown against the wall. He was very frightened, the black muscular beast was stronger than he expected. The beast stared at him with cold-blooded eyes, the black-orange mask strikes fear into his heart. In a split of a second, the soldier had a bullet in his heart. The other soldiers kept running away from the beast, but they can’t escape of it. The beast sprint passes them swiftly while holding two blades at the side, slicing through everything like a paper cutter machine that minced paper. All of the sudden, the base filled with miserable sounds became quiet…too quiet, not even the sounds of a heartbeat were heard. The gates of the base were opened slowly, a tall and muscular shadow was projected onto the ground…the beast came out and left the base. He left nothing but huge dens on the walls, blood splattered in every corner, massive piles of corpses on the ground and thick knife scars on the iron doors. Rumors protest that the beast symbolizes death and fatality, some defines it as an art of precision at a stroke. But all of them call it by one name……DEATHSTROKE.

Meanwhile in Utar……

            Everyone is paying attention to the lesson in class. Suddenly, a loud GROANING sound breaks the atmosphere. “ADAM!” shouted furiously by the lecturer. Adam woke up instantly as soon as he heard someone is calling his name. The lecturer asks Adam “Why are you so sleepy, didn’t you get enough rest last night?” Adam hesitated on answering the question while flashbacking on the Cyraxs that he had slayed in the mirror dimension last night. After his flashback, Adam gives his answer unconfidently “ Ermm, doing assignments?” The lecturer shakes her head and says “That’s the excuse you gave in the previous class, stop lying Adam, It won’t do you no good.” Deep down Adam is thinking “Guess being a hero isn’t as easy as I thought” In the end, Adam is granted with an hour detention. After his detention has ended, he went to a cliff nearby and sat at the edge of the cliff, glazing the sun sets at the end of the day, warm rays of light turned the town of Kampar golden. Adam stared at the scenery for quite some time. Cade asked cautiously “Hey buddy, everything good?” Adam replied “Cade, do you think that I’m a failure?” Cade is shocked “WHAT? No, I don’t think so.” Adam spoke out his inner thoughts “I seem to can’t get anything right, Neither I can’t be a good student nor a great warrior. I can’t focus well on my studies plus I left massive craters in the mirror dimensions which I should not. I feel like I should just quit the game.” Cade reacted “Listen to me Adam, nobody is perfect, it is our destiny to meet each other and it is our fate to become partners to save the world. Adam became speechless, Cade say “I’ll be in rest mode, you know the drills, reset me to wake me up if you made up your mind.” Cade find it best to leave Adam alone and Adam sat there for a long long long time……

At midnight……

            The night was silent, cold breeze of wind hollows through the night, the owl in the trees coos loudly. “Could you stop it.” Said by someone in the dark. The owl coos again, the person in the dark whispers quietly “Please stop it, you’re gonna get me in trouble.” Then, the person got a cold feeling on her foot. She can feel that there is something long and smooth on her foot. The moment she peeks down, a loud and high pitch scream breaks through the skies of the night. She kicks away the snake and ran quicky as she could while talking to herself “OH GOSH, OH DEAR, GUESS THIS WHAT I GET FOR TREPASSING RESTIRCTED TERROTORIES AT NIGHT. After a long sprint, she mumbles to herself again “It’s alright, when life hits you down you just gotta get right back up.” She reassembles her spirit and proceeds with her plans in breaking into the nuclear station. When she was about to jump inside, she accidentally tripped and landed her hand in a pile of green slime. She did not pay much attention to the presence of the slime as the slime disappear in an instance and she felt nothing after touching it, assuming that the slime is harmless to her. She utters to herself “Kelly oh Kelly, you must have the worst luck among everyone in Kampar.” In a flash, Kelly creeps away as she notices there are some guards patrolling near her.

The next day……

Adam goes to school early, he manages to pay attention to class. The lecturers and tutors give their appraises for Adam for witnessing his attentive attitude for the first time, his friends also have lots of fun with Adam as well. Everything is perfect……Adam’s thoughts are “This is the life I’ve always wanted……but……something wasn’t right.” Without the time to be thinking what is wrong, Adam noticed a girl has a strange tattoo on her arm. Adam asks Alex who is that girl and what’s with the strange tattoo. Alex replied “ her name is Kelly and I heard that she had touch something green fluid last night and the fluid was absorb into her body instantly. Adam was puzzled, he asks Alex in a curious tone “Where did she touch the green fluid?” Alex said “At a puddle near the nuclear station near Kampar.” A tremendous cold freeze strikes on Adam’s back. Adam felt baffled about the information that he had just heard. He also has a hunch that something terrible is about to happen. Adam became alert and started to scan his surroundings. SUDDENLY, huge clinking sounds interrupts the peaceful atmosphere in UTAR, and pea sized bombs are thrown into the compounds of UTAR through the shattered glass panes. The discharges trigger everyone to run in terror, some just panicked and take cover in safe spots. As Adam and Alex are finding Kelly who went missing, a dark shadow walks out of the mist slowly, Adam asks curiously “Who the hell are you?” The man replies “The name’s DEATHSTROKE, and I’ve came for the Kaiju solution.” Adam finally got it! Alex says “What’s going on, bro?” Adam explains “He’s after Kelly, and he will slaughter her to get the green fluid in her body.” “ALEX, FIND KELLY AND TAKE HER AWAY AS FAR AS YOU COULD!” Alex leaves the scene to search for Kelly. In the meantime, Deathstroke says “Get out of my way, boy, or I’ll have your corpse hanging on the ceiling.” Adam replies “You talk too much for a dead man.” While Deathstroke is puzzled by Adam’s reply, Adam resets Cade. He straps on Cade and inserts his transformation card into Cade. Calling out “HENSHIN!” and turns into Kamen Rider Decade. “We’re back in action.” Said together by Cade and Adam. “Looks like a fight is inevitable.” said by Deathstroke, Adam asks carefully “What’s that fluid in her body and why do you want it so bad?” Surprisingly, Deathstroke answered “That fluid is called Kaiju solution, a small amount of it could powered an entire rocket thruster, and I have plans for it.” “Judging by the amount that you are after, you could not be using it for rocket thrusters.” questioned by Adam. “The earth’s resources are nearly depleted and humans are responsible for that. They need to be perish, and they bought their own extinction. I’ll be taking matters into my own hands. I will commence a WIPEOUT to save Earth.” said by Deathstroke and Adam shouts out “I WOULD LET YOU DROP ANY NUCLEAR WEAPONS ON ANYONE.” After finishing his speech, Decade extracts his gun and shoots Deathstroke. Noticing that his attacks were not effective, he inserts “Burst” card and unleash a powerful beam towards Deathstroke. Deathstroke propels into the air with a huge jump and attack Decade with a dropping axe kick. Next, Deathstroke lands several jabs on Decade before he could recover from the kick, followed by a close side kick which impels Decade crashing into the concrete walls. Fortunately, Decade manage to get up and continue fighting. Decade transforms into the form of Kamen Rider Hibiki and unleashes streams of flames to counter the saw blades thrown by Deathstroke. The scene was filled with mist of dust and smoke. Decade moves to the back of Deathstroke and locks him in place. Deathstroke says “Even with a bigger advantage than me, you still could not defeat me. Guess you’re just a worthless person.” This speech wounds Decade’s heart deeply, reminding him of the mistakes that he made. While Decade was out-of-focus, Deathstroke use a back kick on Decade to keep a distance away from him, and throws a grenade at Decade. The explosion knocks out Decade and Adam’s transformation wore off. After checking that Decade has fainted, Deathstroke leaves the scene……

Adam…hey Adam……wake up…Adam……

            Adam woke up with a painful headache, he was shocked see that there are many students surrounding him. He asks cautiously “You guys saw everything……right?” None of the students were responding but to a certain extent, Adam had gotten the answer. “I’m sorry for not stopping Deathstroke, and I’m sorry for the mess that I’ve cause, I’m also sorry for……” while Adam was apologizing, a voice interrupts “Are you ok, Adam?” The lecturer asks Adam. Adam had gotten silent, he has many complex feelings going through him right now. The lecturer continued “Thanks for being there in times of crisis, it’s ok to lose, what matters the most is for you to get up. And as a lecturer, I sorry for not being considerate enough to care for your difficulties.” Adam replied with watery eyes “Don’t you guys think that I’m a freak? Or a disaster?” The crowd begin to voice out “Thanks to you, all of us can live in peace!” “Never admit your defeat, Adam!” “You can win this!”…The crowd kept on cheering and encouraging Adam. Adam closes his eyes, feeling pleased to be accepted by the world. He grabs his fist tightly, gets up slowly while reopening his eyes. The crowd went wild as Adam is up and running again. Adam asks the crowd with his determined eyes and a deep tone “Where are they?”

In the penthouse of the Grand Hotel of Kampar……

            “Are you should we are safe?” asked by Kelly. Alex replies “Yea, sure, definitely, there’s no way that thing can find us here.” “BOOM..BANG..” sounds are heard by them at a close range. Kelly looks down from the mirrors of the penthouse and notices that black smoke is rising from below. She shouts out “THAT THING HAS FOUND US!” “QUICK! HEAD TO THE BALCONY NOW!” said by Alex. Moments after they had reached the balcony, the doors of the balcony were rammed opened. Deathstroke enters and proposes “Well, look what we have here.” As Deathstroke was walking towards them, a red object pounds on him, dragging him on the floor and slams into the pipping system of the hotel. Alex vocalizes with joy “DECADE IS BACK!” After Decade had prolong his distance with Deathstroke, he wears off his OOOs form and  says to Deathstroke “I’ve a promise to protect humanity and that’s what I’m gonna do.” “And I’ve made a promise to save the world.” replied by Deathstroke. Decade utters “Not in this way.” Then, Deathstroke answers “I don’t care...” And instantly throws several daggers towards Decade. Decade pushes Alex and Kelly out of the way and tells them to get cover. While both of them are hiding at a distance, Deathstroke pulls out his kusarigama and tries to land the sharp edges on Decade. Decade uses his sword to fend off the attacks of Deathstroke. Deathstroke observes that his attacks weren’t effective on Decade so he tosses some mini landmines below Decade. Luckily, Decade is aware of the landmines and pulls off multiple flips to dodge the harmful detonations. As Decade is doing his last flip, he inflicts his “Lock-on” ability and shoot Deathstroke. Decade predicted Deathstroke will duck the attack and he did, the shot make a U-turn and hit Deathstroke at the back. Deathstroke lose his balance and knees down on one of his knees. Decade take advantage of that instance and kicks Deathstroke strongly, causing Deathstroke to slide away to bang the air conditioning outdoor unit. As Decade is about to land a slash on Deathstroke, Deathstroke got out of the way by pulling himself away with a grabbing hook. Decade misses his shot and ends up cutting the air conditioning outdoor unit into half. Deathstroke launches an electromagnetic device which imprisons Decade from moving. Decade keeps on struggling in order to free himself but it is useless. Deathstroke expresses his confusion “You see, I don’t get it. Why do you keep on challenging me eventhough you knew that you are gonna lose? “Nope, I did not lose, as long as I’m still breathing, I’ll fight you to my last breath.” replied by Decade. Deathstroke phrases “So you haven’t accept that you’re a disappointment.” “YOU’RE WRONG, I’M NOT, UNLIKE YOU, I’M NOT ALONE, I GOT MY FRIENDS, FAMILY, AND THE PEOPLE AROUND ME THAT SUPPORTS ME NO MATTER WHAT.” Golden aura begins to emerge and orbits around Decade. Decade continues “AND THAT’S WHY YOU WILL BE DEFEATED” the device starts to glitch more.. and more……the device has gone haywire. “BECAUSE I’M KAMEN RIDER DECADE!” Decade breaks out of the imprisonment of the device. “This is impossible!” Deathstroke yelled out furiously. Decade gently selects the shiny golden card in his cardholder. “Are you ready, partner?” asked by Decade and Cade replies confidently “Let’s rock and roll!” Decade inserts the card into Cade. A rich and melodious sounds is formed “FINAL FORM RIDE” followed by a repeated phrase “D-D-D-DECADE.”  Decade transforms into his ultimate form……Final Decade. Coloured in a dark coat which personifies elegant and grace while deep pink strips spike out, showing endless potential that can be unleash. Deathstroke responded “A fancy new look can’t save you…” and immediately blasts a missile towards Decade. Decade did not stand out of the way and resisted the damage and impact of the missile. Deathstroke was in shock while Decade replies “My turn…” Decade turns on his speed mode and lands several combos on Deathstroke in all sorts of directions. Deathstroke could not defend himself at all as Decade was too fast. After Decade’s ability wears off, he says “Time to end this.” Decade slides a card in… “Final Rider kick” Decade got himself airborne and releasing all his power into his final kick. Deathstroke strives to get up and uses his kusarigama to form a shield. The huge impact produces massive shockwaves, blowing everything forcefully and……finally it ceases with a huge ignition. Almost everything was destroyed, thick smokes begin to fade away, dust and smog hover around in the air. Alex and Kelly yell out “DECADE, WHERE ARE YOU?” Later they saw a figure walking out of the mist. “IT’S DECADE!” proposed gladly by both of them. Both of them pounce on Decade, giving him a huge hug as thanking him for saving their lives. Alex asks “Did that thing died or…” All of them stare at the tore black-orange mask which landed on the ground for quite a while, as if they have a mutual answer in their minds. Alex says “so, I guess this is the end?” Decade replies “No, it’s never the end, but no matter who or what is coming, regardless of how big or how many are there, I’ll kill ‘em, I’ll kill ‘em all. As I am Decade…KAMEN RIDER DECADE, THE PROTECTOR OF EARTH AND THE MIRROR DIMENSIONS……” glazing the sunset and the city below their feet……
