Kamen Rider Legacy

"I see...in that case..." she chuckles. "I suppose I've got no choice!"

She holsters the Blaster with a "ka-chunk"

Safety, on.

And her suit dematerializes, duster blowing in the wind. "So...where do we start, Seisen-san?"

The two of them looked at the book, skimming over the evidence it presented.

"Neeat. Well, that does sound pretty bad."

Mitsuko let out a deep sigh but finally put her dagger away.

"Can we not just have five minutes of peace for once?"

August started eyeing the portal excitedly and started fiddling with the Animus Key in his hand.

"The Guard are recovering right, they can handle things here?"

"Ugh. Fine. Go save the universe."

August checked the strap on his Driver's belt, making sure it was on properly, and looked at the guardian.

"So. What've we gotta do?"

Nancy nodded slowly. This was a bit too much to take in all at once.

"OK, I'll come with you."

And she stepped into the portal, and the unknown.

Toon does a double take from the hole the ceiling to the rider.

Toon:"okay... that's new... an error asking for help... okay, I'm interested. So talk I'm nearly out of ink, and make it speedy like a Latin mouse"

Toon impatiently taps on his belt and leans on a nonexistent wall.

"Please, follow me." He gestured to the Portal again, stepping to the side. "The others will be waiting or joining us momentarily." He nodded. "This way leads to the Center of all the Multiverses. Everything will be explained there."

...

"We start here." He said as he also gestured to the portal. "Beyond that door lies the Center of the Multiverse. Every universe that has ever existed will be at our finger tips. So we must make haste, and not waste any time. The others will be there, waiting for us."

...

"Here." He gestured to the portal shimmering before him. "Come through this Portal and everything will be explained. The other Riders are being recruited as we speak, and they should be here fairly soon." He stepped through the portal, sticking his head out once to gesture for him to follow.

...

"I"ll make this fast, as time is of the essence." Seisen sighed, rubbing the bridge of his nose slowly and shaking his head. "The world, this world, and all other worlds are in grave danger as we speak. A terrible evil is currently traveling through the Multiverse as we speak, causing untold terror. I expect you not to believe me, but I hope in your heart, you know what to do." And turns, and looks back at him one final time before walking through the portal.

...

It's almost beautiful, what you all see as you step through the shimmering portal into an entirely different world. The inside looks normal enough, like the typical inside of a library but with halls that seemed to go on for miles and miles and miles, somehow unending. At the center of these, where all of you step through and find yourself in, is a large pillar that stretches up into the ceiling, a ceiling dotted with millions and millions of flickering lights, seemingly with no end like stars.

The Seisen that you all come through with exits at the same time with 5 other copies of himself, and marching in tune, all "collect" into the center, becoming one Seisen before your very eyes. With a sigh, he gestures to you all, and then to the room around you.

"Welcome, all of you, to the very center of the Multiverse."

Toon looks around at the other people in the run, just as he reaches the ring of riders his belt begins to ding.

BELT: That's all folks!

In a flash of light and a splash of rainbow ink toon reverts into Hawthorn

Haw:"if you would have just asked for help in the first place we could have avoided you're trip to the the moon, rider. Any toon my name is Hawthorn, my friends call me haw, and is there any ink in here?"

Nancy looks around in wonder.

"Woah...it's beautiful..."

"What do we do to help?"

"Back off, buddy!" Kamen Rider Vandal rolled with the crazy happening in front of her and drew the Vandalizer in front of her in a flurry of sprays, tossed the cans onto her holsters, then let the crazy angular two-dimensional broadsword into her waiting hands. "What do you want, man? Job offer or something? Wouldn't be the first time someone's tried to save my life to work for me. Might want to make this quick. I don't have patience for another one of these grifts if the pitch isn't good but you impress me and I'll humor you for your troubles."

Entering the gate and finding himself in the center of the universe kind of took the words out of Leo's mouth, as he looked around, trying to get every detail he could get. Seeing the other riders coming through, made him decide to cast off the armor.

"QUEST ENDED" The belt announced, and Kenshi Arashi appeared again in a flash of light.

"Nice to meet you" He said, bowing his head to the others "I am Kenshi Arashi, Kamen Rider Leo"

Nancy waved.

"Hi! I'm Nancy Weaver, Kamen Rider Seamstress."

She curtseys.

"Why are you guys all wearing rubber suits?"

Seisen took a very, very deep breath and produced his book, walking up to her and holding it up for her to see. The inside of the book, black and white and filled with paragraph upon paragraph of their worlds stories and shenanigans. How she acquired the belt. How much good and chaos she inflicted with the belt. Every single thing that could have been her life, was on the page in plain black and white, in addition to a black and white picture off to the side, showing the way she transformed and finished.

"We need your help." He said, calmly but with s much seriousness as he could muster. "The Universe-No, ALL the Universes are in danger. It sounds insane and chaotic, but we need your help to save countless lives and countless worlds from terrible destruction."

Hawthorn looks over to the teen age girl sits down in the lotus position.

Haw:" they aren't rubber, I think. In my case its solid ink that create some kind of extra dimensional shell around my body. It more like a suit of knights armor."

Nancy shrugs.

"Fine. Skin-tight suits. But my question remains. Why skin-tight suits? And why the masks? How do you even breathe?"

She shakes her head like she couldn't believe it.

Hawthorn shrugs back.

Haw:"I dont know why they are skin tight and make us more fit, you could ask one of the shows guys but i dont think they like Heisei rider much and as for breathing, when I'm a cartoon. I dont need to breath but when I a real boy my helmet has nose holes. It is a helmet after all."

"So, I know you're on the level because you know I don't have the patience for any pitches longer than that. I'm in. Makes plenty of sense to me." Vandal said, nodding appreciatively. She didn't put away her weird two-dimensional sword, but she did step straight through the portal he was offering. Even if he wasn't asking her to do so, she was working for the guy so obviously it was her right to check out whatever facilities he had. No different then popping into the supply closet to vape at work.

Nancy looked at everybody. Then she looked at herself.

"I'm the odd one out. Darn."

The Seisen that walked through the portal with her quickly reconnected with the original Seisen, and he shuddered a little bit, looking over at the group of Riders. With a wave of his hand, the portals all vanished from behind them.

"Thank you all." He said as he regained himself. "For your heroic nature coming through in this time of need. Please, feel free to ask any questions you may have. I need to figure out where the Collective are going to strike next." He began to turn when he stopped. "Though, explaining that would be a good start."

"The Collective...they are the ones currently wandering through the Multiverse. I do not know their goal, nor their ambition. I know...they want to cause endless destruction and chaos. Made of monsters from other, fallen worlds...their strength grows with each day."

Nancy raised her hand hesitatingly, and mentally scolded herself.

This isn't school! she thought, as she dropped it.

"The Unravelers are planning something...we may have to face them in the future, right?"

Haw shifts uncomfortably.

Haw:"so you're telling us that these M.O.W.s are collecting the essence of each universe they come across, destroying it..."

Haw's expression changes from one of discomfort to anger

Haw;" and knowing this you opened up a rosenbridge gate to each of our worlds making a direct path into each and disturbing the natural energy of the worlds..... are you <censored> insane?!"

Kenshi stood strong looking at Seisen, wondering what's the best thing to do right now.

"So, two questions" He said "Have you seen any notable member of the Collective we should beware in particular, and what are the odds of them trying to recruit the Dukeps, or some other monstrous faction from our worlds as we speak?"

Yuriko looks around, notes everyone present, takes mental notes, and listens carefully.

"I see...so, this is the Center..."

She nods, short black hair jostling. "A pleasure. Azami, Yuriko. Protectorate Investigator, also a Kamen Rider.

A beat, then she addresses Seisen once again. "This Collective...they remind me of the Gaitians, but not so...organized."

"It's safe to assume the Collective will likely, at some point, come for the monsters that reside in your world, all of yours. The Unravelers. The Gaitians. The Dukeps. The Collective will look to gather them all to his cause, and your monsters, all of them, seem to be the most destructive."

He flinched when Haw barked at him, and he sighed. "It seems bad, yes. But I can assure you, he would have found his way to your worlds as well. It would only be a matter of time, and by gathering you all, I at least give you a fighting chance. So many worlds fell because they never knew what was coming. But I'm changing that, and I'm changing it now."

As his back was to them, and he was focused on the pillar itself, he threw a hand out and a book suddenly flew out, the cover dull grey with black trim. The book opened to reveal a young man with black hair, dull eyes, and a cultists outfit. "He's the one you must look out for." He stated calmly. "Geki. The leader of the Collective. His power is...unmatchable. And so is his ruthlessness."

"Geki...I see..."

Yuri taps her chin, deep in thought. "Powerful enough to take down a Kamen Rider...basically, we'd need both quality and quantity to win...troublesome, but manageable."

She nods. "Where would we even begin though? Given everyone here, there's obviously a lot of ground to cover, yes?"

Hawthorn look at yuriko then back to seisen.

Haw:"She has a point you have four prime riders one of which is a 15 year old girl, and a secondary rider... have you even tried contacting any of the Canon riders?"

Nancy nodded slowly.

"Quality, I've got. I'm definitely going to help. My sword is at your service!"
