Hiyori awakes to find herself in a world where Yggdrasil never existed. Inves games were no longer the sport of choice. Dance groups were never formed, friendships never made. Lockseeds, scarce.
Instead, Zawame City is a city of oppression. A large island floats above the city, casting Zawame in a permanent shadow. A golden palace glistens above the island, where 'The Golden King' resides. He reigns over the land, bringing terror to his kingdom below. The shadow his palace casts keeps plant life from growing. Food is a luxury - Helheim is unreachable.
The only people seemingly aware of these changes are Hiyori, Sasuke, Rei, and Hideyuki - and only just. Although their memories of their own world are in tact, they also remember living in this new world their whole lives. Above them, Koji and Ryou, Inoue and Sengoku all serve the king using their Sengoku and Genesis Drivers - the only ones that are supposed to be in existence except two.
Posters that litter the streets depict Knuckle and Kurokage - fugitives under The Golden King's law. WANTED: DEAD OR ALIVE
How will Hiyori and her friends return to their own world. Will they be able to save this one?

Gender: Male
Occupation: Royal Armor Guard Soldier
Rider Designation: Bravo
Personality (New or Old): Similar to his real world personality, Koji is a ladies' man and a lover of music. However, in this world, his playboy antics instead come across as more of a chivalrous European knight and rather than disco, he is just a general lover of music and often relaxes by playing some kind of instrument, usually either a guitar or his father's old flute.

He always had the suspicion that there was more to his parents' death than that, but never was able to find anything.

Kenzaki Hiyori
Armored Rider Gaim
Drip...drip...drip...
Hiyori flinched, awoken by the steady drops of water that were falling on her face. She looked up at the tarnished, stained ceiling above her. The pipe above her had busted in the middle of the night, again. Her father had put in a request to have it repaired, but had yet to hear back from the Palace. She let out a sigh as she stood up on her bed, removed the water logged towels from the hole and stuffed some dirty laundry into the ceiling. That would do...for now.
She got dressed, slipping on a pair of old, torn overalls. They were baggy on her slender frame for they were old jeans that belonged to her mother. She also wore her fathers old t-shirt. The once vibrant red color now a faded pinkish hue. It was torn up as much as her overalls. New clothes were a luxury in her part of town.
Unable to shower with a busted water pipe, she tied her greasy hair into a pony tail, covering it in a blue bandana. She could hear the radio playing in the other room. Her parents were already awake
...and in other news.. Sagara's voice echoed. ...a new curfew has been put into effect, under official decree. Anyone under the age of 21 are ordered to remain indoors after dark while The Royal Guard hunt down the rebel known as Kizoku Kodomo, last seen escaping the palace with a stolen Sengoku Driver. A former member of the guard, Kodomo took his Driver from the palace without authorization. The King has declared a reward for anyone with information on this rebel, and warn anyone harboring the fugitive that they face similar punishment if they do not turn him over now...
Hiyori listened intently from her bedroom. Her parents did not like her listening to the news, not since Momo...
Momo? She almost said her name outloud. Wasn't she with Momo last night? Didn't they walk home together from Yggdrasil with her dance team?
Dance team? What dance team? She didn't know how to...
Hiyori twirled around to look at her nightstand. Her Sengoku Driver sat, staring her in the face. But...but how? She wasn't supposed to have one of those. Only the Royal Guard were allowed to have one of those. She could get in a lot of trouble if she were caught with one.
She reached for the Driver. She would get rid of it before someone found out. She knew her parents wouldn't be able to handle another missing daughter.
The moment she touched the driver, a flash of white light filled her vision. Memories flooded into her mind - Team Gaim, Yggdrasil, fighting as a Kamen Rider. Dancing...
The Driver clattered to the floor. Hiyori took a few steps back, observing her surroundings with new eyes. It was all different. This wasn't her bedroom...this wasn't her life. Or...was it? Her head was spinning as she tried to collect her thoughts. She needed to find Momo. She needed to find...
Her parents? She lifted her head. She could have sworn that her parents were dead. She ran out of her bedroom, her eyes wide as she saw her father sitting at a table, eating a bowl of rations. Her mother was making a futile attempt at sweeping the dirty floors.
"Hiyori?" Her father asked, looking up from his sloppy oatmeal. "You're up early."
"I...um..." Hiyori didn't know what to say. Her father was staring at her, giving her the same bright smile she thought she'd never see again. All of her confusion disappered as she rushed towards her dad, holding him tight. He was real. He was here. He...looked very confused.
"Is everything okay, sweetheart?" He asked with the gentle kindness that Hiyori had nearly forgotten about.
"Y...Yeah." She replied. "Just...bad dreams."
"Well, since you're up, there are chores to be done." Her mother said. Hiyori was already making her way to hug her when she thrust a piece of paper in Hiyori's face. "Here." She said with a cold dejection that sent shivers up Hiyori's spine. she didn't remember her mother being so angry. But at the same time she did.
She went back into her room to grab her bag. She looked back down at the Sengoku Driver on the floor and scooped it up, along with the lockseeds on her table. She had to be careful, she didn't want to be labeled a Rebel like Momo.
Oh my god, Momo! She now noticed that her room had an extra bed. It was dusty but neatly made, as if it were unoccupied for some time. Then Hiyori remembered. Momo was on the run after spray painting rebellious slogans across the city with her gang. No...wait...that wasn't right.
She rushed out of the apartment, giving one last look at her parents. Something was different. She knew for a fact that they were dead, and Momo was here. What was going on?
She stepped outside. Despite the fact that it was nearly 9:00am, the city was still pitch black. It did not take her long to figure out why, for floating high above her was a gigantic, flat rock. An island. She could only see the bottom of the island, but she saw that it expanded over the entire city - perhaps ever farther. That certainly was not there last night. Or...was it?

 Koji Shinamori
Kamen Rider Bravo
Lock Seeds-Durian-Kurumi-Pepper-BlackberryLock Vehicles-Tulip Hopper
Koji awoke that morning with a big stretch and a yawn as he sat up in bed. He smiled at the two courtesans laying beside, still asleep. Ah yes, now I remember... Thank you for such an enjoyable evening, my ladies, Koji thought with a smirk before catching sight of the large clock on the opposite wall. It was almost time for his morning meeting with the king. Getting out of bed, he quickly dressed himself in his uniform, grabbing his broadsword and his Sengoku Driver and Lockseeds.
The young knight hummed to himself as he made his way to the throne room. No doubt today would be like most, just a standard patrol of Zawame City, check any suspected sights of rebel activity, then deal with it as needed. That was how it normally went, and he was just fine with that. Left more time that evening for enjoying himself. |

Kuroki Hideyuki
Armored Rider Zangetsu
Hideyuki's eyes flickered open as the first ways of the early morning "sun" of street lights randomly glared on his face through the cracked window. 'Time to get up, I guess.' He thought glumly at the prospect of a another long day at the work camps to feed his family.
He groggily tried to get out of his makeshift bed to start his day, but as he did so, Hideyuki stumbled over something that was lying on the slightly dusty floor beside him. Surprised more than hurt, he scooped it up. It was black belt of some kind. 'How the hell did I get this?!' He panicky wondered, instantly realizing what the object meant. Then, in a sudden flash, other memories previously unknown to him flooded back into him - The Beat Riders, fighting Yggdrasil, The Sengoku Drivers… All the memories begin to fight to what he had previously known only moments before. Just which memories were real?
"It's too early morning for this!" He finally proclaimed, scratching his messy hair frantically in frustration. He was late enough for work as it. "I'll worry about this later!"
With that, without thinking, Hideyuki threw the Driver into his bag as he quickly made his way through darkened city streets to work without breakfast.

Ryou was already up, getting ready for the meeting with the King along with the other Royal Knights. He had been in service to his majesty as long as he could remember and today was no different from the others. He would patrol and then check with the counterintelligence division before reporting back to the King. He walked into the corridor and purposely made his way to the Throne Room.

Kenzaki Hiyori
Armored Rider Gaim
Hiyori continued to stare at the island above for what felt like hours in her mind. How was it even staying suspended up there? Neither one of her memory sets knew the answer to that question. One of them had simply accepted it as a part of life.
After a while, she decided to explore the city to find out what else was different. The streets were no longer paved. Remains of asphalt suggested they were at some point, but now she walked along the dusty dirt road. It didn't seem to matter, because Hiyori hadn't found a single car in town. People wandered the dirt roads just as she did.
No roads, no cars, yet the buildings were almost identical to the world Hiyori remembered. They looked older, some were beyond repair, but this was definitely Zawame City. She turned a corner, and began to jog. She had to find the others Armored Riders. Sasuke, Hideyuki...even Koji would be a welcome sight.

Koji Shinamori
Kamen Rider Bravo
Lock Seeds-Durian-Kurumi-Pepper-BlackberryLock Vehicles-Tulip Hopper
Koji arrived in the throne room, rolling his arms to try and crack his back, still a little stiff from the way he slept after the night's "frivolities." Not too his surprise, when he got there, he found his mentor in Royal Guard, Jonouchi Ryou, a.k.a. Armored Rider Gridon. He was usually the first to make it to those meetings, anyway, hence why he was considered to the Royal Knight's leader... Well, along with his intelligence and skill battle more so than his punctuality. Yet it was something Koji often liked to tease the older man for it.
"Geez, do you ever NOT get to these things first, Jonouchi?" Koji asked with a cheeky tone. "His Majesty already appointed you as our commander. I don't think you need to try so hard to stay in his good graces." |

Kenzaki Hiyori
Armored Rider Gaim
Hiyori continued to jog. The scattered people she ran past looked miserable, always looking over their shoulder in fear. But what was there to be afraid of? The sensation felt familiar to her as well, like an ever-looming presence was keeping a careful eye on the city.
She eventually saw a large group off in the distance. Finally, a crowd. Maybe they would have answers. However, as she got closer she felt her heart drop. She slowed her jog down to a stop, starting in horror at what she found.
The group of people stood frozen in terror, their bodies twisted as if they were in mid-escape. Their clothes, their skin, and their features had been turned to solid gold. However, not even the poverish people that walked past them tried to steal a piece of gold for themselves. Hiyori recognized this punishment, memories of this life flashed through her mind. The King had stepped down from above and punished these people.
"Oh no...Rat!" she cried in shock as she recognized one of the frozen faces. She couldn't hold back her tears as she saw that many of the punished people were members of Team Gaim from her real life. She took solace in the fact that Momo was not among them.
"This...this isn't right!" She screamed, looking up at the island above the city. She had to get up there and find out what was going on.

Kamen Rider Bravo

Koji pretended to look aghast at Jonouchi's "accusation." "Why, sir, you wound me!" Chuckling, Koji tried to appear regal and serious as he said melodramatically, "I consider my actions last night a public service, my lord. What sort of gentleman would I be if I denied any lady the pleasure of my limitless sexual prowess!?" Sighing in a joking manner, he then added, "It is a heavy burden I carry, but... I embrace it"
Koji then busted out laughing, seeing how Jonouchi just gave him that smirk he gave when Koji got like that, that "uh huh, sure" smirk. Once he finally stopped, he took a few deep breaths to calm himself before asking, "So, what do you think the King has in store for us today? More random searches for dissident activity?"
(You know, out of curiosity since we haven't made mention of him yet, what is Geki supposed to be doing in this world? O.o) |

The island above Zawame city was something of wonder. A large, almost completely flat circular disc. If one looked up into the sky, they would only see dirt and rock. However those that were privileged enough to live on the island got to see it's true wonder. From edge to edge, a beautiful city had been built. Curved, dome-like buildings filled the city. They glistened in the sunlight, their golden metals reflecting off each other, casting a brilliant aura into the air.
The tallest of the dome buildings stood in the center. Patrolling around the palace were hundreds of Kurokage Troopers, each adorned with golden Kagematsu. Several dozen had lined up in formation outside the doors of the palace. The large doors swung open and everyone stood at attention. A man stepped out, followed by several more Troopers, and two elderly men. He had a smile on his face, and an air of superiority around him. He did not look particularly strong, yet he carried power. He was Midas - The King
"My Lord." One of the elder men spoke. "The people of Zawame City continue to group together in rebellion."
"Then we simply extend the curfew." Midas ordered, his voice was light and calm. "Anyone outside after 5pm will be punished."
"Y-Yes, My Lord."
Midas stopped walking."Do you not agree?" He asked. Although he sounded concerned, there was a hint of intimidation in his voice.
"N-No my Lord...I mean, yes!"
"Well, which is it? The King asked again, taking a few steps towards the old man. The man stammered, trying to find words that would satisfy his ruler. However it was too late. The King placed his hand on the mans shoulder for only a second. In that instant, the old man was frozen solid, his body and clothes transforming to solid gold.
"There will be no doubt. My will is law." He stated simply to the other man that accompanied him.
"Yes, King Midas." The man replied, staring in horror at the golden figure that was once his friend.
((We decided to leave him out of this universe, so I can focus on playing King)) |

KAMEN RIDER RYUGEN
Rei Kurosawa
Rei shivered against the cold ground as she slowly began to wake up. How strange...Did I fall asleep outside again? My parents are going to be worried....Wait. She tried to process her words as if she had just spoken a foreign language. I must not be fully awake yet...My parents have been dead for years. That was it-Rei remembered bits and pieces of some crazy dream she had last night. Something about a huge tower, alien plants, and multiple lockseeds. The last thing she remembered from that "dream" was her shooting at a bunch of cans in the middle of the night. She slowly began to open her eyes. Yeah-definitely a dream. Like I would be irresponsible enough to stay out after curfew.
The musty girl sat up and stretched. It was easy for her to sleep through the usual noise and clammer of the shelter. It was speculated that it had originally been one of the many office buildings in Zawame, but was abandoned back when the Golden King took over. Everyone stayed on the bottom floor since debris and age deemed the higher floors too dangerous to stay in, but no one complained. Despite the floor being crowded with the poor and (just as poor) volunteers, they all felt like family.
Rei neatly folded her holey blanket and sat it next to a few other ragged sheets. Being a volunteer, she was usually one of the first few up. Even now the usual shelter buzzed with talk-instructions for her refugees, encouraging words for the cast out families of rebels, it was all nothing new. She looked at her watch (the glass was broken, but it still worked).5:06-yup, that was when she usually got up.
"Ahhh Rei-san. You always are up at the nick of dawn." Good morning Mama Jiji. She bowed politely to the elderly woman. "Mama Jiji" was the original founder of this particular shelter, and was the one who found Rei as a child. Despite her nickname, she was shown the utmost respect by everyone. Mama Jiji signed and gave Rei a kindhearted smile. About to go scavenging again, I see? Bless your soul. You're always welcome to sleep for a couple more hours. Rei chuckled and gently shook her head. With all due respect, it wouldn't feel right for me to sleep without checking for dinner scraps. I would hate for them to go to waste. Mama Jiji frowned and furrowed her eyebrows. Ah yes, the curfew is up even before dinnertime for most families....Very well. Do be careful my dear child. The King's soldiers have been making their rounds earlier due to...well, him." Rei nodded as her expression became serious. Of course. I should be back within a few hours. Mama Jiji closed her eyes and smiled. We appreciate your hard work and determination. You truly are an inspiration to the rest of our volunteers. There were only 10 or 20 others (half of which were elderly now), but the compliment was still an honor. Thank you Mama Jiji. It's the least I can do to give back. With that, Rei carefully tip-toed her way over the sleeping refugees and stepped out into the dark, dreary city.
