Confrontation (1)

The girls and I position ourselves away from the other students watching us then I hand Miku a white Ridewatch and an empty Fullbottle.

Miku: What's that?

Miku asks me

Zero: On my right a white Ridewatch without any power, it is thanks to it that I can transform myself into a Kamen Rider using the Ziku Driver, On my left a Fullbottle also empty, it allows me to transform myself into a Kamen Rider using the Build Rider system.

Chris: Baka, why are you bringing that out here.

Tetsuya: Don't worry about the small details, Miku takes them and think about what we talked about yesterday if you mean what you said, take your decision and join us but know that you can't go back.

Miku hesitates a bit then looks at Hibiki then takes the Ridewatch and the empty Fullbottle which starts to shine to become a complete Ridewatch and Fullbottle.

Ridewatch: [Shénshòujìng]

The girls are stunned about what just happened.

Miku: What just happened?

Tetsuya: Congratulations, from now on you are the first female Kamen Rider.

I say by taking and putting the fullbottle in my pocket and letting her have the ridewatch.

Kanade: You mean she gained the power to become a Kamen Rider? But why are you dragging her into all this from what I see? She's just a civilian?

Tsubasa: Don't tell me she knows about the symphogear. You know very well that it's forbidden to reveal that information.

Tetsuya: Miku decided to get involved and the Ridewatch and the Fullbottle recognized her wish. And Miku is under my tutelage and will join section 2 so I don't think there will be any problem, if there is, I will take responsibility for my actions.

Chris: You're still doing as you please, how can you stay so calm when you've done something so bad.

Hibiki: Tatsuya I feel like you are overdoing it.

Tetsuya: Maybe, but we need all the help we can get against Noises, and even when Noises disappears it doesn't mean our world is safe.

Tsubasa: What...

Ding Dong Ding Dong

Tetsuya: It's time, you two wait for me in your class after school and I'll come and get you, oh I almost forgot Miku catch.

I take a white object out of my pocket and throw it to Miku, then I run to class, Miku looks at what Tetsuya gave her, it's another Ridewatch but this one's white, she turns the dial and pushes the button.

Ridewatch: Tsukuyomi

Hibiki/Miku: Wow

Chris: What's that idiot thinking?

Kanade: It's no use thinking about it now, we'll get all the answers after school, now that I think about it we didn't ask your name.

Miku: Oh my name is Miku Kohinata, I'm Hibiki's classmate, and also Tetsuya's childhood friend and girlfriend.

Chris/Kanade/Tsubasa: WHAT????????

//Timeskip//

Right now I'm sitting alone in my classroom thinking about how I'm going to explain my origins to others later.

Tetsuya: Huh, Ryoko's going to yell at me for not telling her about the Rider System, Genjuro's going to have questions too, I hope he's not too disappointed and the girls I don't know what they're going to do to me.

I sigh one more time before I look at the time.

Tetsuya: Let's go

I get up from my seat and take my bag and a briefcase that I picked up in my lab during lunch and head towards Hibiki and Miku's classroom, on the way I get quite a lot of glances mainly from students who have just arrived this year.

Girl 1: Why is there a boy here?

Girl 2: Hmm?! Oh, you mean Lydia's prince, Kagami Tetsuya-Senpai.

Girl 1: Why is he named prince of Lydia?

Girl 2: Rumors say, that he is childhood friends with the famous Tsubasa Kazanari and Kanade Amou also known as Zwei Wings, and he is also known to be a great musician acclaimed all over the country, thanks to him the school has even received music awards. But he is best known for helping everyone at school, he cooks delicious food and he is a very nice person like a real Prince Charming. He's the perfect man, don't you think?

The girl tells her friend with stars in her eyes and in a fanatical way

Girl 1: Uh... you're right.

She says, avoiding the look of her friend who continues to fan-girl me, as, for me who heard it, I'm in a cold sweat.

When I get close to the girls' classroom I hear a discussion, and when I get to the front of the classroom I see Tsubasa talking with Hibiki and Miku with handcuffs in hand.

Tetsuya(thought): Tsu-chan

Miku: Why do we have to wear this?

Tsubasa: I'm sorry it's the procedure.

Tetsuya: I think I made a point yesterday about the usefulness of using handcuffs on innocent people Tsubasa

I say as I enter the room

Tsubasa: Tetsuya

Miku/Hibiki: Tetsu-kun

I wave to them

Tetsuya: Really, I said I'd bring Hibiki yesterday, but since everyone's here, let's go together.

I tell them while removing their handcuffs.

Miku: Got it, let's go Hibiki.

Hibiki: Hmm.

She nods her head while looking at Tsubasa who looks at Tetsuya with a displeased face.

Tetsuya: Are you coming Tsubasa?

Tetsuya: Yes

// Elevator //

Miku: Wow, who'd have thought there'd be ruins under the school?

Hibiki: That's right Tetsu-kun, do you know what those ruins are?

Tetsuya: Although the government has been working on the ruins for years to discover its secrets, they still haven't been able to deduce who built the ruins and when, although I have some leads, but they're unfounded.

Miku/Hibiki: Ehhhh

I look towards Tsubasa but she avoids my gaze, which makes me sigh...

*Ting*

We arrive at our destination

Miku: Wow, it's like being in a sci-fi movie...

Tetsuya: *(laughing) Well, we should head to the conference room. Everyone should be waiting for us.

We're heading to the meeting room when I open the door, two pairs of arms grab me by the collar of my uniform and drag me into the room.

Tetsuya: Save me... UOAAAAA!!!!!!

Miku/Hibiki: Tetsu-kun ??????

???: I caught you!!!!

A cold and mischievous voice says to me and I get pushed against a wall, then I see Ryoko looking more irritated than the day before, I look around to look for help only to see Genguro telling me to resign myself with his look, Kanade and Chris look at me with pity...

Tetsuya: *shivering* Hello *shivering* Ryoko-san.

Ryoko: Hello my little disciple, now that you're here you have a lot to tell us, don't you?

Tetsuya: *glurp* mercy?

Ryoko: No

I resign myself by bowing my head...

Tetsuya: Understood, I'll tell you everything.

Ryoko: Good.

Then Ryoko lets go of me and turns around to notice Miku's presence.

Ryoko: Oya, I didn't know a guest was coming?

Genjuro: If I'm not mistaken, you're Tachibana-kun's classmate, why are you here?

Tsubasa: Tetsuya brought her back, saying she's going to work with us, so she seems to know about us.

Genjuro: Tetsuya, I'd like some explanation.

Tetsuya: Don't worry Genjuro-san I'll explain everything in due time.

After everyone is seated Genjuro starts talking.

Genjurou: Well we can start this meeting, the main topics are why Tachibana-kun has a relic and about the fact that Tetsuya is the famous Kamen Rider.

Ryoko starts by showing an X-ray of Hibiki that must have been taken the day before when she took her for tests. The x-ray mainly shows Gungnir's shrapnel near Hibiki's heart.

Ryoko: Here's an x-ray of Hibiki-chan taken yesterday, as you can see there are a large number of fragments near her heart.

Hibiki: The doctors said it would be too dangerous to remove them all since they're too close to my heart, but it wouldn't interfere with my daily life.

Chris: Wow, I wonder how she survived with so many fragments near her heart.

Tetsuya: You have no idea I barely slept all night after dropping her off at the hospital with Kanade almost half dead.

Miku: It's true that when we met the next day to visit Hibiki, you had dark circles under your eyes.

Kanade: Stop it Tetsuya, you've been telling me the same thing for two years every time I hear about that accident, I've learned my lesson.

Zero: There's no chance of that happening, if you had died because of that, I would have blamed myself to death.

Kanade: Tetsuya

Ryoko: Ahem, and it was confirmed that these fragments are indeed those of the 2nd Gungnir relic.

Kanade: Looks like my sacrifice wasn't in vain, now that I know my relic is in safe hands.

Hibiki: You could count on me Kanade-senpai, I will live up to your expectations.

Kanade: I'm counting on you kouhai

Tsubasa seeing this scene clenches her fist not liking what she sees.

Tsubasa(thought): Gungnir belongs to Kanade, why doesn't it bother her that someone else has it?

Genjuro: Tetsuya, I think you've already explained to those two what the symphogear is and the purpose of our organization.

Tetsuya: Yes, I explained everything to them.

Ryoko: I was already looking forward to explaining my famous theory to them.

Tetsuya: If you were the one to explain, I bet Hibiki would only understand half of what you're saying.

Hibiki: Heeee, that's not true.

Tetsuya: You know I'm right, you're lucky I explained the simplified version to you yesterday.

Hibiki: That was the simplified version?

Miku: Give up Hibiki since the three of us have known each other and you've never won an argument against Tetsu-kun.

Hibiki: Buuuuuuu

Genjuro: Well it seems that this subject is closed, which leaves us with the case of Tetsuya.

Everybody's turning to me

Tetsuya: Why do you look at me as if I've committed a crime against humanity?

Ryoko: Because you've got a lot to explain, especially about the weapons you've got to fight against the noise.

Tetsuya: I get it, so where do we start, everyone knows the multiverse theory?

Everybody nods their heads except Hibiki.

Hibiki: The multiverse theory?

Kanade: It's a theory in which there are parallel worlds to our own.

Tsubasa: Why this question?

Tetsuya: Because I come from a world parallel to yours, at least my soul.

All: WHAT!!??

Ryoko: What do you mean "at least my soul"?

Tetsuya: Basically, my current soul comes from a parallel world where Noise doesn't exist and ended up in the body of my current self, from that world. But the problem is that when I regained consciousness in my present body I didn't remember anything before my awakening, only my knowledge, and memories that are not mine from my original world or the self of this world.

Genjuro: You mean you are aware that you come from a parallel world but you don't remember anything before that, except your knowledge?

Tetsuya: That sums up my case.

Chris: Why don't you tell us anything so far?

Tetsuya: I didn't say anything because my coming here was not so innocuous, I was sent here for a reason.

Genjuro: What reason?

Tetsuya: To become the Kamen Rider of this world and protect it.

Hibiki: But you just said you don't remember anything before you got here.

Miku: Hibiki is right, your words are contradictory.

Tetsuya: I did say that, but I never said I didn't discover that after I woke up.

Kanade: And how did you find that out?

Tetsuya: When I woke up I had a suitcase with me that contained a letter saying that I have the powers of two Kamen Rider who are now my senpai and to be sent to a world where Riders don't exist, but that I wouldn't remember my past.

Tsubasa: Does that mean you sacrificed your past life and memories to become the protector of another world?

Tetsuya: I don't know what the old me was thinking at the time, but there must have been a good reason to accept this mission.

Ryoko: Leaving that aside, I wanted to ask you what you meant yesterday when you said you were a "Time King".

Tetsuya: By the way, you need to know a little more about Zi-O itself, Kanade you remember my introduction the first time we met.

Kanade: Of course I remember, you said, "My name is Kamen Rider Zi-O, the one who succeeded the other Riders, a Demon King, or at least that's what I was told," something like that.

Miku: A Demon King? Tetsuya?

So I explain to them the story of Oma Zi-O, but also the power of Zi-O to be able to use the power of the previous Kamen Rider, and also my power over time.

Genjuro: I can see why you didn't want to tell anyone about this secret earlier, especially when you were just a child, you would have had a lot of problems.

Ryoko: But I wish you'd told us about this earlier, we're a family now.

Tetsuya: At first I didn't want to say anything to avoid putting anyone in an awkward situation, but as time went by it was weighing on my conscience not to say anything, so I decided to reveal everything today.

Ryoko: I'd like to know more about the gadgets you used that are effective against Noises.

Ryoko shows security camera footage of me with Hibiki and the little girl on the motorcycle being chased by Noise, then the footage stops on me using my Hawkgatinger.

Tetsuya: Oh that

I pull my Hawkgatlinger and Takawatch out from behind my back as nothing happened. Then Ryoko starts examining them, telling her to be careful because there's no safety on the Gatling.

Genjuro: Where did you get all this stuff? I only remember seeing you coming with your bag and a briefcase.

Tetsuya: I took it out of my Rider Space, as I call it.

All: Rider Space?

Tetsuya: It's a dimensional pocket spell that every Rider has where we store our Drivers, gadgets, and weapons.

Ryoko looks at me with stars in her eyes.

Ryoko: I want to see that famous Driver...

I take out my Build Driver and the Rabbit and Tank Fullbottle and show them to Ryoko.

Tetsuya: The Build Driver created by a scientist named Katsuragi Takumi to be able to fight an alien threat named Evolto, the latter destroyed several civilizations in the cosmos including that of the planet Mars, he broke into Earth after the latter took possession of the body of an astronaut who was on a mission to Mars and brought back a box from there that he used to destroy the civilization of the planet Mars, Pandora's Box. The Fullbottles are the essence of Pandora's box, coupled with the Build Driver allows transforming into a Kamen Rider.

Genjuro: Who would have thought that this simple object has such a great history. But if you compare it to the relic, it's the same thing.

Ryoko: If we can produce these Drivers in large quantities, the fight against Noise will be a breeze.

Tetsuya: I'm stopping you right now, I'm strongly opposed to it.

Ryoko: What?

Tetsuya: I can't allow the mass production of these Drivers, these Drivers are for the preservation of love and peace in the world, not as a weapon to fight with. The previous Build suffered a lot when the Rider system was used once for war, I don't want that to happen again here.

Genjuro: I understand what you mean by that and know that we don't want that too, but you know better than anyone that we need all the means to stop Noises.

Tetsuya: Yes I know that's why I've already started a plan to recruit Rider and I've already found two.

Ryoko: Oh, who are they, may I ask?

Tetsuya: The first is our guest Kohinata Miku, who will be named Kamen Rider Tsukuyomi.

I say as I get up and walk towards her and hand her a Ziku Driver, she looks me in the eyes, then nods her head and takes the Driver.

Chris: And the second person?

I smile when Chris asks me this question

Tetsuya: My second recruit, Amou Kanade...
