Mid town high school------
It's been one day since the last incident. Blake is currently sitting in his classroom and waiting for the next lecture to start, after a good night sleep all the tension regarding his previous outbreak is released. It seems everything has returned to normal for him, well except the whole 'superpowers' part that is.
As Blake was relaxing, he got curious about his friends laughing and decided to listen a bit. "bro I am telling you 'Zio' is definitely fighting some great evil or something, I mean just look at him, he is collecting some type of object every time he fights those monsters." this is Jimmy, he is one of the best friend that Blake have and now it seems he is having a conversation with Sam another great friend of Blake. "dude I get that you like hidden conspiracy theory but 'Zio' is clearly the result of some shady organization who want their stuff back, I mean just look at his way of speaking with each monsters. he clearly says that he want 'his' powers back." Sam said.
"oh yeah? then why does he have those colorful finishing attacks and a superhero type suit all the time?" Jimmy said. "maybe to stop people from being suspicious and by the looks of it, it is clearly working on guys like you." Sam said. "what do you mean guys like?" their conversation is going a little heated and our listener Blake was going to stop his friends from fighting like this but it seems someone else stopped them in his place.
"Hey nerds will you shut up!!" one of girls said looking towards them in a angry tone, seems like that she is frustrated from hearing these two bickering. "Sorry girls, I guess we were pretty loud."
"pretty loud? I could hear your idiot theories since morning." this girl is Tracy, she is one of Blake's classmate and although she seems to hate this type of conversation but in reality she is one of those few girls who actually likes superhero stuffs. suddenly one girl from Tracy's group spoke. "hey Tracy do you think 'Zio' is actually a girl?"
"WHAT???" Sam yelled "what do you mean 'Zio' is a girl? He have male voice."
The same girl replied "can't 'Zio' just change her voice with something?" this time Tracy replied "but Megan that will be unnecessary and even if 'Zio' does change his voice, he can choose from a male voice."
"I know but then explain me why does 'Zio' uses pink colour? I think because of this reason 'Zio' is not a he but a she." while Megan seems to be pretty happy and all her friends seems to be skeptical our protagonist Blake is getting tense from the topic of conversation ' am I having a gender problem? I don't need that type of rumor, better crush it while it's a bud.'. "Umm... guys I think 'Zio' is a guy for sure." Tracy replied "how do you know that Blake?" "just call it my gut feeling-" before they could talk further the door to the classroom opened and finally teacher entered the classroom. "Alright class open your text books, we will start from where we left last time."
The rest of the school time was without much trouble for Blake but when he was on his way back toward his home Woz asked him to come meet at a very special place.
New York sanctum----- Blake's POV
"So let me get this straight Woz, there is someone called 'Ancient One' who have been protecting the earth for eons! and this library looking place here is one of the place known as 'sanctum' which covers the whole earth in a protection spell for keeping literal demons! out of our dimension."
"Yes your majesty, that's the short summary of whole thing."
"You know Woz, at this point, I am not even surprised anymore (sigh!) Woz is there anything else I should know about some hidden existence that stays in earth?"
"at this point? no your majesty but for the future? I could only say good luck (whispers)but even power of fate is useless against you."
"huh? did you say something Woz?" "no your majesty." strange I was sure I heard something but I guess it was not important otherwise Woz would have told me. I slowly tries to open the door to the sanctum but it seems locked from inside, So I pressed the doorbell and waited there. Soon the door opened and someone wearing a orange robe is standing in front of me. he said to me "What do you want?" ok first lets try to explain him properly "umm... hi my name is Blake. you see I am here to meet someone called 'Ancient One' and-" before I could finish speaking he tried to close the door and said in a hurry "Sorry but I think you got the wrong place." I put my left foot in front of the door to stop it from closing onto me "look I really need to meet 'Ancient One' this is a very important matter."
"remove your foot from the door, I am warning you." I noticed his hand are glowing with energy and seems to form some type of circle around his wrist. I heard Woz voice behind me "You lowly being, how dare you disrespect the king of time like that!!!" Ok things are going in a direction which I always tries to avoid. "It seems you people won't step way from the door just by words." the glowing circle in his hands turned into ropes and tried to bind us. I may try to talk things out but that doesn't mean I will have a fetish for getting captured, I used the recent ridewatch power I got.
*defend~ Please~* a red magic circle appeared in front of me and Woz with the symbol of 'Kamen rider Wizard' and blocked his energy rope but before we both could continue our fight, a voice sounded from inside.
"That's Enough!!! please bring the guests to my chamber Mordor" that voice was enough for my opponent to dispel his magic bands and I was not even in the mood to fight from the beginning. Mordor gives a bow toward me and Woz and said "please follow me." I guess it's time to meet the 'ancient one' and get those ridewatches Woz talked about.
Ancient One chamber------ Blake's POV-------
Mordor, as I now know remain entirely quite while guiding me and Woz, we came to the top floor of the sanctum and went in front of a beautiful wooden door. "The 'ancient one' is waiting for you, I will take my leave." Mordor said and bowed to us before leaving. I turned to Woz and he nodded toward me, so I clamed myself and opened the door to the chamber.
Inside the chamber is a simple room with flower at each edge of the room and in the middle there is a bald women sitting while brewing three cup of tea, when she saw us, she smiled and called us. "please step inside" I smiled back and entered the room "would you like some tea?" she offered us and I don't see any harm in having tea so, I take her offer "sure". Me, Woz and 'Ancient one' enjoyed the tea for a couple second before I spoke my reason to come here. "(clears throat) 'Ancient One' first I would like to introduce myself-" Woz became oddly excited and opened his book and I know what is going to happen so I hurriedly stopped him "NOT NOW Woz!!!" he closed the book and seems a little sad about it "sorry Woz but this is a very bad time for that. (clear throat) as I was saying I am Blake but you may know me by something else" Ancient One smiled at me and says before I could continue "I know you are 'Zio' and what you have come for" what?? I mean how does she know that? ok don't panic Blake. Keep a cool head "how do you know that? and if you know my reason then why didn't you contract me earlier?"
"I know who you are because I am unable to predict any future from you, it's as if you don't even exist in reality and this thing have happened with only one person in the entire earth and that's 'Zio', as for your motive for visiting me I could only guess that you are searching for those strange objects which are destabilizing the timeline."
Instead of me, Woz replied to her "it is foolish to see someone's future, if that someone is transcendent of space-time itself, no matter how much power his majesty have lost but he is still a being you cannot comprehend just because you have a infinity stone." Ancient One looked toward Woz a bit surprised for a second but soon asked curiously "I have been meaning to ask who are you and why did you call Blake 'his majesty'?" Woz smiled and replied "I am most loyal servant of the king of time, one who have been blessed to narrate each of his journey and my name is Woz and the person you just referred casually is the king of time, the heir to the power of all Kamen riders."
Ancient One looked towards me surprised "I truly think that is a exaggerated title but in my defense I didn't know about my power until I started to see what mayhem it caused and before you ask, the monsters I am fighting are those who have bonded with a part of my power and only I can purify them by taking back the ridewatch into me."
"So those things are called ridewatch? hmm all this is completely new to me, in all my years I have never heard of king of time but your powers and those ridewatch are all the proof I need at this point." She nodded in understanding "very well, I first found about ridewatch when I was checking for any timeline error through the 'time stone' and as soon I got to know it's effect I told my disciples to secure them, so far we have only collected 2 of them."
"That's great!! if I can purify them I will only have to collect 3 more" Woz added "Then his majesty's great powers will be restored again." Ancient One smiled at us "do you want to see those ridewatch? we are continuously trying to limit their powers because of their timeline corroding property." I guess this visit was a great success "of course let's go right now" All three of us stand up and 'Ancient one' moved her fingers which opened up a portal to another room, I would be surprised if this have happened a day ago but now I can also open up portals.
Unknown chamber----- no one's POV--------
Blake, Woz and Ancient One entered the chamber through a portal, inside we can see several masters of 'Kamar Taj' are surrounding the two ridewatch which are displayed on a pedestal, the masters are trying to limit the effect of ridewatch. "well Blake, are these the ridewatch you have mentioned?" Ancient One asked Blake to which he nodded and moved towards the ridewatch. Some masters tried to stop him but ancient one stopped them from interfering him.
Blake reached the pedestal and picked both ridewatches and just like before they glowed in pink energy before turning into their purified versions but Blake noticed that this time his pink energy have a little black energy mixed into it, he thought to think about it latter. when Blake pressed the button on both ridewatches, the same voice greeted him.
*W!* *Forze!*
With a smile Blake turned towards ancient one while de-summoning the ridewatches "Thank you ancient one, you really are the protector of earth, if you want you can check the timeline, all damage and cracks will be fixed." Blake said as this have been one of the easiest encounter to get a ridewatch where he have also made a powerful helper. "There is no need for that Blake, I know when to trust someone, curtesy of living for so many years but if I may, can you have a little sparing match with one of my disciple?" Blake frowned at this question but still replied
"Why? I don't see a reason with that?"
"you see Blake, previously I happen to notice your unique magic and I want to know more about it as it seems to work independently of cosmic force." Ancient one replied "cosmic force?"
"you see Blake, when a magician uses a spell, he/she take it's power from a specific dimension of a god or demon depending on the spell, to change the reality in Kamar Taj ways we took our powers from 'the vishanti trio' who channels the 'eldritch magic' but your magic seems to be originating from some unknown place."
Blake didn't know that the magic used by Kamen rider wizard is so different from the magic used by real wizards. He asked Woz "Woz, do you know about this?" Woz replied "Of course your majesty! but I seemed it as a unnecessary information." Blake though 'hmm... well I guess I can agree, I will be able to test my wizard ridewatch and will get some magic fighting style.' "Alright ancient one I will accept your request."
"very well, then lets go to some suitable place" Ancient One opened another portal but this time it's destination is Kamar Taj's training ground
Training Grounds-------
Blake is currently standing inside a ring with his opponent of the training ground of Kamar Taj temple and surrounding the ring are various students and masters of the place who were practicing earlier. Woz and ancient one are also watching from distant.
Blake focused toward his opponent and said with a smile "ready Mordor?" that's right ancient one have chosen Mordor as his opponent who previously tried to fight him. Mordor also smiled and replied "I am ready when you are" (a/n: ok I am not good at fighting scene)
Both of them charged towards each other and Mordor tries to hit Blake with is energy ropes but Blake block them by using wind magic (a/n: ok for those who don't understand the next word, every time he uses magic even without transforming, his driver makes sound)
*hurricane~ please~*
Blake tries to blow Mordor away from the ring but at the last moment Mordor was able to open a portal under his feet to drop behind Blake but Blake dodged that attack because of his super speed. Mordor formed energy circles around his wrists. "Getting serious are we? alright let's go" Blake said and summoned his 'Zio' and 'Wizard' ridewatches.
*Zio!* *Wizard!* At this the 'Ziku driver' also get summoned as a belt and Blake attaches the ridewatches to it.
(mechanical sound) "Henshin!"
*Rider time!~ Kamen rider!~ Zio~ Armor time!~ Please~ Wizard!~*
After the transformation Zio armored wizard is standing in the ring and every spectator is amazed by this type of transformation even the opponent Mordor is impressed by Blake's transformation style.
"Is this how 'Zio' transformed every time? this is awesome I always thought it was a suit he needs to wear but I didn't know it was magic." One of the student spoke and it sparked the discussion among many others. "hey do you think we can find some enchantment from library like that, I would be so cool if we change our dress like that" some female student said and started discussing "I am just thinking how would this look if someone transformed like this in a war or something, I mean imagine the opponent's reaction." many discussions are going but ancient one was still waiting for real magic power of Blake rather than a transformation.
"That-" Mordor was about to say something but was cut off by Woz as he teleported in front of Blake and opened his book with a fanatic smile "IWAE!!! the one who will collect the power of all rider, the king of time ruling over past, present and future, his name Kamen rider Zio wizard armor and all of you just witnessed his second ridewatch power." Woz turn towards Blake and bows "your majesty please fight to your heart's content." everyone was surprised by this both Woz's sudden appearance and his words but Mordor decided to just continue their fight "Ok whatever, get ready Zio I am coming."
"yeah! let's get this over with!" As Mordor used energy projectiles to trap him, Blake used a magic ability *Water~ Please* this turns Blake's body intangible and all the attacks pass through him "ready to surrender Mordor?"
"you will need more than that Zio."
"As you wish." *Bind~ Please~* Blake used another ability which opened a magic circle below Mordor's feet and magic chains wrapped him into a hold. "How about now?" "Ahhhh!!" Mordor tries to break free but ultimately fails to do so. "huh... I give up, you win." *claps!* everyone cheered them and Zio undid his binding. Ancient One came and congratulated him along with other masters. Some students also came to talk with Blake. overall he have a few wonderful minutes.
As Blake and Woz was leaving Ancient One offered to open a portal but Blake stopped her. "No need let me do it ancient one." he raise his hand forward and with a sound, a red portal opened with Kamen rider wizard symbol *Connect~ Please~*
"Goodbye Ancient one and thank you for helping me with the ridewatches."
"Please rest assured if I found any other ridewatch, I will immediately inform you."
with that Blake and Woz left the temple of Kamar Taj.
Near Blake's house-----
Woz and Blake are walking towards Blake's house while talking about their experience with Ancient One. "Man! that was a great experience, i get to meet a ancient guardian of earth, get to test wizard ridewatch and get a nice cup of tea. I am completely refreshed! what about you Woz?"
"I am also same your majesty but remember your majesty sometimes too much good is a indication of something bad coming in the way." and just as Woz said Blake suddenly noticed a bunch of black cars as he reached his house's front gate. "Woz are those government vehicles? Why are they here? (grasp!) Woz let's go check it out." Although Blake is clam outside but he is extremely tensed inside because he is afraid if the government got his identity as 'Zio'. "I will be there when you need me your majesty, otherwise it will get suspicious. I will take my leave." Woz teleported away and a tensed Blake made his way toward his house.
inside Blake's house-------- Blake's POV-------
As I entered the house I could see a few people in black suits roaming inside and the moment they saw me one of them approached me. "are you Blake Diller?" the agent asked which I confirmed. "Please go to the living room your family members and my boss is waiting there." I nodded and followed the agent.
Soon we reached the living room and he takes his leave. Inside the room I can see my mom ,dad and sister is sitting on the sofa with a smile and there is another agent in front of them. as soon they saw me I asked "Mom, what is happening? who are they?" my mom came towards me and replied "Blake hon! you are back? these people are from the government, they want to talk about something with you."
"with me?" Gwen replied "Yeah with you, they think you can help them with a investigation because you might be related to the victim."
"Dad?" I looked at my dad and he get the doubts I am having. "Don't worry I have verified their identity and police chief himself came with them earlier. they are legit, Blake if you can, help them with their investigation." I am still not sure if they know my identity as 'Zio' or is it really just some coincidence. But let's just go with the flow.
"ok" I turned towards the agent in the room and said "ask me what do you want sir." he smiled and replied to me "you must be Mr. Blake, I should introduce myself, I am agent Phil Coulson and currently I work with 'Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division', Mr. Blake this investigation is very confidential, so I believe the less people know, the more good it will be. If it's alright can you come with me to the near café?" I am now 80% sure all this is just a big lie to capture me but I am at least grateful that they are not doing this in front of my family, I am not worried about government capturing me by force because that's not possible anymore , I have a shit ton of abilities but I am worried about me and my family becoming a fugitive. (sigh!) well we will see, I smiled and replied "Sure I will go with you but don't you think that your organization could choose a bit bigger name." He smiled awkwardly and replied "I get the sarcasm Mr. Blake but trust me we are working on the name." seems like I am not the only one who asked this question.
"Shall we proceed Mr. Blake."
"sure"
No one's POV-----
Blake and Coulson drive to the nearest café which seem to be empty but if someone looked closely the whole street is brimming with agents disguised as civilians. inside the cafe Blake is guided to the seat where a Bald man with an eyepatch is waiting for him, this is Nick Fury the director of SHIELD and also one of the greatest spy in the world. Fury and Blake sit face to face and Coulson stand behind Fury.
Fury's POV-------
I got the message from Coulson that 'Zio' is on the way, no matter how much I thought I can't help but imagine just how did someone so young like Blake Diller gets that powers because if he had those powers from the beginning then there's no way it can be hidden for so long. (sigh!) I really miss those days when things used to be less complicated, meeting Carol really changed my world view. Now I need to be cautious all the time and honestly it's getting tired but still humanity needs it's defender and it have to be quick.
Not after long 'Zio' entered the shop with Coulson and he sat in front of me while Coulson stand behind me. I noticed he is very clam despite knowing his situation any normal person of his age will show signs of nervousness but I guess I can't call him normal, I have equipped all the agents with energy blasters but I can't guarantee it will work against him, only time will tell right now I need to get as much information as possible.
"you seems very clam for someone your age?" I asked "well there isn't anything to very agitated about right? and I have a lot of experience of talking to strangers." so he dodged my question, good then I guess I need to break this facade first "I guess it will be better if we both stop pretending and talk the real reason why you are called."
"(sigh!) I really hoped my guess was wrong but it seems you know me." he seems to be cooperative then this talk could develop into at least a mutual benefit deal "then I am guessing your are willing to explain all these monsters that are appearing and their origin." I asked as that is the most pressing matter I need to confirm, these monsters weakness and if more will come.
"I will explain everything as this will help me too but first can you at least introduce yourself."
"Sure, I am director Nick Fury of 'Strategic Homeland Intervention, Enforcement and Logistics Division', now about my question."
he nodded in agreement and starts to explain "these things are called 'another rider' each of them born from fragments of my power mixed with humans as for will they appear again? they will, I still have 3 fragments left to collect. Now how did you guys find out about me."
I analyzed what he said so does Coulson behind me. Does this means all the monsters are 'Zio' doing? no then why would he stop them? something doesn't add up, this guy is hiding something. "you are not saying the full story are you? what does it mean your power fragments? If we are exchanging information then at least explain properly 'Zio'."
"fine but this will take sometime, so tell me about how you find my identity because I am pretty sure you guys can't track my teleportation." I smiled at him and said "From next time tell your follower to change his looks when you are wearing your armor." Suddenly a voice came from my right side and we all looked right. "this attire is something that define my identity as the most loyal servant of the king of time, I could never change this Nick Fury." Coulson and guards from outside quickly aimed towards him and I am anxious because this guy is an unknown variable at least we know something about 'Zio' powers but this guy is completely blank slate except for his teleportation power and unknown is always a bad thing.
"Woz!" Zio smiled and seems to be very happy by his arrival all more reason to get tensed "your majesty" he bowed toward him and said. 'your majesty'? am I missing something did Blake Diller have some heritage? no that can't be, I have checked everything before coming here then what am I missing? then it clicked me, as I get a doubtful picture because of this Woz guy's previous words.
"you can't be serious here-" Woz cut my sentence and said "It's as you are thinking right now Nick Fury, the person you were talking, who you all refer to as 'Zio' is the one who will collect the power of all Kamen rider, the one and only true king of time who rule over past, present and future. IWAE!"
"motherfu**er" "is this for real?" me and Coulson both said to which 'Zio' seems to be smiling warily before speaking "Don't mind Woz too much, I am still confused about this king thing but I can tell you about my powers."
"please Let me do that your majesty!" Woz said "ok, fine by me" he opened his book before speaking "(cough!) according to this book, at the day of new year night his majesty king of time Blake Diller was about to awaken his true powers but because of an incident something unexpected happened and his majesty awakened early. Those monster or 'another riders' are just manifestation of his majesty's power combined with a human but so far his majesty have collected all of his power except for last 3." Woz closes the book and stand behind 'Zio'.
"what happens when all the lost powers are collected?" I know but still needed to confirm "obviously his true power will awaken." that's what I am afraid about, 'Zio' is already a huge threat because of his power and I really don't want to see whatever this 'king of time' power is, no we need teams to collect these powers before 'Zio' and prepare counter measures before giving them to him.
"So, how do you collect this power, I mean if we found them quickly we could give them to you so more monsters could not harm civilians." Woz and 'Zio' looked at me for a second and for some reason I feel a little dizzy. (a/n: Blake is using 'wizard ridewatch' mind reading magic and no, stealth type magic don't do announcement) but ultimately he spoke but not before summoning some thing out of thin air, great now this is also his ability, I need to know can he also summon weapons?
"this is a ridewatch which has been purified by me but then unpurified one's will be dark and will have a monstrous look to it. this may look like a joke to many but this is not something to temper with."
"I know , we all have seen the video of the battles and attacks." I replied to him "well I guess this will be everything for now 'Zio' if we find these remaining ridewatches we will contact you."
"Alright director Fury, please inform me." our business for today is done and I need to quickly need to form a team to search for this ridewatches before 'Zio' can find more. I was about to ask Coulson when I heard Zio's voice "Director Fury" he said without even looking and slowly turned towards me with a eyes of burning colour of gold and black energy "please tell me if you got those ridewatches." A chill run down my back.
I am pretty sure that I have never felt this type of feeling in my life, his words are not just words they are like a command and my instincts are telling me to run from their and never meet this guy. I am sure Coulson is the same given by his current pale face. I mustered my courage and replied "don't worry"
"good" with that he teleported with Woz and a big pressure is released from my shoulders (sigh!) I guess that team get destroyed before even forming in reality.
Unknown Lab------- no one's POV------
we see a makeshift lab where the same guy who attacked Blake and started all this facade is typing something in a laptop and in front of him is two ridewatches "damn it, science is really expensive, I need more parts to make this thing properly (sigh!) where to get the money?"
suddenly while browsing through news, he see a article about Obidah Stane and thought to himself "if I remembered correctly isn't this the guy who wanted to kill tony stark? hmm... well he is power hungry and have a lot of money, So I could use him to distract 'Zio' for some time." he looked at the two ridewatches and pick one of them. "hmm... although it won't be able to stop 'Zio' but I need the money. damn tony stark was my favorite avenger, too bad." he pressed the button and activated the ridewatch.
(mechanical voice)
*OOO*
