Chapter 1: The Summon

A/N: Before I start this story, I would just like to say that this is not a self insert. If you aren't interested in this story, I suggest you leave this page unless you are curious. This story is written since I have nothing much to do as well. Also, I will be starting off with the Delta Gear first since it's what my OC is equipped with first. The Human World in this story is also the same as Paradise Lost. Without further ado, on with the story!

Disclaimer: I do not own Kamen rider or Familiar of Zero but I do own the main Orphnoch of the story.

Fear...

There I was, laying down on the ground with most of my body turned into ash. I had not expected it. If only the attack had succeeded, we would have not lost any of our comrade or even our only chance of fighting back the Orphnochs. Instead, we were betrayed, by our most trusted leader who had sold his soul to the devils. He lead us into an ambush. No one survived it, all except that disgraceful traitor and...me.

But I wasn't part of the betrayal. I was known to the humans as the savior of mankind but here I was, moments away before death. If only I knew that the ambush was led by our leader, I wouldn't have let my friends die. I'm not sure if you know but here is how it had happened, all in the span of two hours from the start of our attack on SMART BRAIN.

Two hours ago,

"It looks like it's our turn now."

I turned to see Takeo, our leader of the human liberation troops that was formed at the heart of Japan. There he stood before me, a man with a trail of blonde hair that streaked his head. A scar that was made by an Orphnoch was permanently placed near his left eye while his right eye was covered by burnt marks. Along his arms, tattoos of phoenixes were visible. He was also wearing a bulletproof vest for some reason even though we knew that the Orphnochs don't use guns.

"Takeo-sama, what is that for?" I asked as I pointed over to his leg where it was resting on top of a box with SMART BRAIN's logo on it.

He smiled and kicked it over to me as he spoke,"Tadashi-kun, this box contains our disguises that we'll be using during our attack on the Orphnochs."

I was dumbfounded. Was the leader of our human liberation troops branch going suicidal? He and I just watched the news that those Orphnochs had just announced. The attack that Mizuhara's branch launched had failed, resulting in six human deaths and three Orphnochs deaths from Kaixa. I was sure that Takeo was going nuts."Takeo-sama, not to be rude but, are you crazy?! You know that the Orphnochs outnumber us! We have no chance of winning!"

"You do." Takeo replied calmly as he gestured to my waist where my Delta Gear was resting on. He moved closer to me and continued to speak,"Tadashi-kun, you are the only one out of everyone in this branch who knows that belt inside and out. You have the rights to use that belt which means that we have a chance of defeating the Orphnochs once and for all. All you need to do is believe in me."

As he gave me another smile, I felt something in me that screamed danger. But I wasn't sure about it. I gave a sigh and opened the box. I brought out my disguise and went over to the changing room.

When I came out, I strapped the Delta Gear on my waist and gave Takeo a thumbs up,"I'm ready, leader." Takeo nodded and he walked out of the room with me following him.

Once we were out of the room, we were greeted by the rest of the team that had volunteered to join us in our attack. They soon realized that we were out and they quickly saluted Takeo. But when they saw me, they all started laughing.

"Hey, who brought that kid in here?" One of them spoke.

"I guess he needed a babysitter so he came to Takeo-sama." Another laughed.

Takeo glared at them and their laughter halted as Takeo bellowed,"You should all be ashamed of yourselves! This is not a time to be making fun of a fellow human. What's more is that this boy is an important person who will be helping us. So shut your mouths and get your weapons! We're leaving in ten minutes!"

As he left to get his weapon, the rest of the team stared at me, astonished at the fact that Takeo shown respect to me. That's right, they were right about almost everything. I am actually the youngest of the newly formed team with an age of 17. Though I am a teen, they would still prefer to call me kid, which I could not stand.

I stood before them, in my nearly torn polo shirt with a brown sweater. My wrinkled jeans were also getting on age as the holes on it showed evidence but that was my usual clothing. Currently, I was wearing a silver business suit. Three claw marks from an Orphnoch's hand had claimed most of my right cheek while the left was still untouched. Around my chest, I had body armor just in case any other Orphnoch tried to get any silly ideas. But what astonished the team was the Delta Gear on my waist.

"This is impossible!" One of the guys spoke."There is no way you're Delta. Surely you are carrying a fake. Yeah, that's right. A fake!" The rest nodded in agreement and I simply rolled my eyes as I walked passed them and got onto the truck's front passenger seat. Then, I hid the Delta Gear underneath my suit. I was not in the mood to prove to them that I was in fact the same Delta that had rescued fifty human refugees from Tokyo a week before what was currently happening. But that was due to the side effects of the transformation I undergone every time I transform. I would increase in height to match any adult male and my strength and speed was enhanced by the Gear whenever I transform.

Minutes later, Takeo got into the driver's seat while the rest of the team got in the back. As they did, I noticed that they too have changed into their disguise. As the plan goes, we were using our disguise to sneak into SMART BRAIN HQ and pose as new employees while I follow them as their shadow. Then, I will have to search the whole place in search of the rumored Emperor's Belts and destroy them before I regroup with the others to eliminate the Orphnochs using the Delta Gear.

After we had went through that plan again, I secretly crossed my fingers and hoped that the mission will go smoothly. Takeo noticed this and he gave me a reassuring smile and a pat on the back,"I know you're anxious, Tadashi-kun. But we can pull through if you do as you're told. Remember, the rumors said that the belts are at the top floor. It's being guards by two Orphnochs that are heavily armed. But I'm sure you'll take them out easily with that belt of yours."

I gaze at my belt and smiled. Takeo was always the one who has been encouraging me to do my best and this was no exception.

An hour later, we reached the Orphnoch-filled city that was once known as Tokyo.

We exited our vehicle and made our way towards the targeted building. As we did, we did our best not to make any eye contact with the 'people' around us. One wrong move and we were done for. I reached into my suit and tightly gripped the Delta Gear as we entered the building. We made our way over to the counter and Takeo spoke,"Excuse me. We're here for the job interview. We're under the name "Takeo"."

The woman by the counter smiled,"Yes. We were expecting all of you. The room for the interview is at Floor number 10."

Takeo nodded and he gestured the others to follow him while I remained by the counter."I'm sorry. But do you have a washroom around here?" The woman nodded and gestured over to the end of the room. I smiled and thanked her before I made my way over there. Once I was inside, I quickly ran into one of the cubicles and changed into my normal clothing after making sure no one was around.

Once I was done, I strapped on my Delta Gear and looked up to see a vent. I took out the Delta Blaster and voiced out my command,"Fire."

- Burst Mode! -

I aimed the Delta Blaster at the vent and pulled the trigger, releasing three consecutive shots of energy that blew up the vent and I caught it before it could crash onto the ground. Then, I got into the vent and made my way to the other side of it.

When I had reached the end of the line, I kicked down the vent cover and I dropped down, landing on my feet. I looked around and saw that it was quiet, too quiet to be exact. Still, I could not let my guard down. I could get jumped at any moment now and I won't let that happen. Then, I spotted the elevator and made my way towards it. Once I was there, I closed the door and pressed the last button of the elevator. Soon, I was making my way towards the top of the building.

By the time the elevator reached the midpoint, I placed the Delta Blaster back on the strap of the belt and pulled out the Delta Phone before bringing it towards my face,"Henshin."

- Standing By! -

I inserted the Delta Phone back into the Delta Mover and the two pieces connected.

- Complete! -

Then, it was followed by a series of beeping tones and a more computerized voice repeated my earlier command.

- Henshin! -

A flash of blue light glowed from the Delta Mission Memory and the light surrounded my body, forming the Photon Streams. Once the light vanished, I was soon in a black bodysuit while bits of armor were formed around my shoulders and chest with the Photon Streams attached as well. I was also seeing through an orange colored visor. This was my Delta armor.

My hand twitched anxiously as the elevator slowly made its way towards the last floor. I slowly placed my hand on the Delta Phone's handle, ready to remove it so that I could blow up any Orphnoch that I was about to see once the doors opens.

Once the elevator stopped, I removed the Delta Blaster and quickly spoke,"Fire!"

- Burst Mode! -

I pointed the weapon at the doors as they slowly slid open. However, there wasn't an Orphnoch in sight. I quietly walked out of the elevator and as carefully as I could while my Delta Blaster was aimed and ready to be fired.

For a few moments, I felt myself adapting to the quiet atmosphere and I looked around and saw a door in front of me. Still with my Delta Blaster out, I opened the door and aimed my Delta Blaster. However, no one was around. But instead, I was greeted by a table with a stand on it. On the stand, I saw what I had came to destroy, the rumored Emperor's Belts!

I picked up the right belt and examined it for a full minute, learning its design.

Then, I was attacked from behind. A hand grabbed my collar and yanked me away from the table, causing me to drop the belt on the ground. I crashed near the entrance of the room and I groaned in pain before looking up at my attacker.

In front of me, was a blonde guy wearing a black singlet with SMART BRAIN's logo and a pair of pants with yellow stripes. He pointed at me and spoke in proper English."It's good to see you, human. It seems that human was telling the truth when he said that you were coming to destroy the belts. Unfortunately for you, I can't let you do that since I am one of the belts's wearer."

He walked over to the left belt and strapped it on his waist as he took out the phone and dialed in the three numbers before dialing the 'Enter' button.

- Standing By! -

"Henshin!" He cried as he placed the phone back onto the belt.

- Complete! -

As a blue light glowed from the phone's Mission Memory, the light traveled around his body to form his armor's Photon Streams before his armor actually materialized. His armor, in majority, was pale white with his blue Photon Streams connected to his bodysuit and armor. On his chest, there was a purple core and is visor was also the same as his core. And on his back, there was a jet pack...A JET PACK?!

"The name's Leo. My superiors wants you gone, Delta. You've caused us Orphnochs some trouble the past few weeks. Now you're going to pay. Let the game begin."

The attacker, Leo, gestured his finger and slid it across his neck to show that he was not going to let me live when this is over. I cracked my knuckles as I placed the Delta Blaster back on my belt's strap. Then, the both of us got into our fighting stance.

For a moment, we didn't move. Until a drop of water from the vent hit the ground, Leo reacted first with a roundhouse kick that caught me off guard, sending me crashing through the wall. Damn, if this guy is this strong with his belt on, I wonder how strong he is without it. If only Takeo had asked Kaixa to help us in our mission, then it would have been an easy one.

Leo then grabbed my collar again and lifted me up before throwing me onto my back.

I slid across the floor due to its slippery feeling and that gave me some fair distance between me and Leo. I pulled out the Delta Blaster and pulled the trigger, releasing the energy beams at him. Thank goodness that I hadn't wasted the Burst Mode on the door. If I did, I would have wasted good ammunition for this battle. But to my disbelief, Leo deflected the energy beams using only his arms.

"Is that all you've got, Delta? Let me show you how real fire power should be like." Leo taunted as he grabbed the handles on his jet pack, which by the way, was equipped with Gatling Guns. Before I knew it, he had pulled the triggers, causing a wave of bullets to assault me while I was still on the ground. As he stopped, I quickly got back on my feet and ran up to him.

Leo looked up, only to meet my foot as I delivered a kick to his face. Leo tumbled a few distance from me and he laughed,"Nice try, Delta. But I'm on a different level than you." He leaped up and delivered his own kick to my face, sending me flying.

I soon crashed and the floor gave way, sending me to the level below me and Leo. As I fell, I crashed on a table and right beside it, there was a man, he looked at me with annoyance as he got up and he changed into an Orphnoch that resembled an Ox. He slammed one of his huge fist onto my chest and then grabbed me. Moments later, he was swinging me around and around before throwing me out of the window. By the way, did I mention that it was a 45 story drop from where I was thrown off?

Closing my eyes, I used the remaining six energy beams from the Burst Mode and fired them onto the ground, causing it to break apart and form a smooth surface. Then stretched my legs out as I crashed onto the ground as smoke gathered around me from the impact.

As the smoke cleared, I was in the middle of a crowd, a crowd of Orphnochs to be exact. At the sight of me, they screamed and scattered everywhere as I look up to see Leo flying down using his jet pack.

"Shit!" I was going to be dead meat if I stayed and fight him. He had proved that the Emperor's Belt was on a higher level than my own and I wasn't going to give myself a death wish now. If only Kaixa was here with me...

"No where left to run, Delta." Leo's voice interrupted me as he landed in front of me. He dropped his jet pack, revealing two of his main weapon, the Psyga Tonfa Edges. He removed the Psyga Mission Memory from his belt and inserted it onto the weapon.

- Ready! -

The Tonfa Edges started glowing and Leo swung them at me, landing direct hits as I was still recovering from the landing I had.

Before I knew it, I was on the ground again with Leo holding each Edge at the sides of my neck. He laughed,"Give up the belt and I'll make sure you can live in peace, as an Orphnoch of course. Who knows, maybe SMART BRAIN will let you keep the belt if you work for us, only if you succeed the evolution."

"Not on your life, Leo." I growled as I swung a fist at him, only for him to catch it. Leo scoffed and crushed my hand. I dropped onto my knees and screamed in agony while Leo chuckled at the sound of my bones cracking. Then, he released my hand and kicked me before pinning me down to the ground with his leg.

"Your loyalty to humanity is respectful. But I can assure you, joining the Orphnochs will be a benefit to both you and us Orphnoch. We could use your skills and knowledge to help crush the humans. After all, there aren't that many of you left. Only two thousand more and we Orphnochs are victorious. You might as well give up."

"Never!" I managed to kick Leo off of me and I quickly took out my Delta Mission Memory and inserted it onto my Delta Blaster.

- Ready! -

"Check!"

- Exceed Charge! -

As a stream of Photon Blood entered the Blaster, I pulled the trigger and a series of beeping noise followed before a blue energy beam was fired, creating a funnel-like projectile that stunned Leo. I took this chance to execute my finisher, Lucifer's Hammer. I leaped up and stretched out my right foot as I entered the funnel-like projectile and emerged behind Leo.

However, it went the opposite as I had expected. instead of seeing Leo die, he grabbed me and held me in a choke-hold."Nice try, kid. Only someone as immature and arrogant as you would do such a thing against me. I told you that the Emperor's Belts are on a higher level than yours which means that I can survive that silly attack of yours."

He was lying. I know he was. Nothing can survive a finisher like that. He must have moved aside or something but that was impossible since he should have been stunned and unable to move. The Emperor's Belts are more powerful and dangerous than I thought.

Leo chuckled,"I see you don't believe me. Quite observant of you. Most humans would have freaked out after I said that. Anyway, I'm giving you another chance. Surrender or die."

"Hold on, Leo-kun!" A feminine voice called out. Leo turned to see a woman in a blue and black dress. It was her, Smart Lady, the one who had announced the death of the six humans from Mizuhara's branch. Leo stepped aside as Smart Lady walked up to me. She smiled and spoke,"Sorry to interrupt this battle of yours. But I'm here to tell you to give up, Delta-san. You've lost this battle to us."

Behind my mask, my eyes were widen in shock. What did she mean by that? She seemed to have realized that and she explained,"Delta-san, your little mission has failed. Your human friends are all dead. None of them had the potential to become Orphnochs." Then, she made a pouting expression and pretended to cry before she laughed.

"No...you're lying!" I tried to break free from Leo's grip but failed.

Smart Lady smiled,"From your voice, you must be a teenager. That means you might have a chance to become an Orphnoch. Oh I can't wait for that! Leo-kun, take care of him!"

Leo chuckled as he pinned me down while Smart Lady took off my belt, cancelling my transformation. At the sight of my claw marks on my cheek, Leo seemed intrigued."Nice scars you've got. Looks to me you've been marked by one of the Riotroopers. That must feel painful. Too bad this will too." He threw me onto the ground and cancelled his own transformation. Then, he pointed a finger at me and it extended like a tentacle. It jabbed my chest. Oh no. No...this can't be the end...this couldn't be my fate...I am now a goner!

Leo's finger soon left my chest and I felt a burning feeling in my heart as I screamed. I looked at my hands and saw that they were disintegrating into ashes. Yep, I was a goner. I looked over to Leo and Smart Lady, only to see grins on their faces as Smart Lady placed the Delta gear back on my waist as it also disintegrated with my body."Consider this a welcome gift from SMART BRAIN, Tadashi-kun."

Smart Lady then gasped as she remembered something,"Oh yes! By the way, your so call leader, Takeo-san, was the one who told us that you were going to destroy our Emperor's Belts in exchange for a mutual relationship with him. But his usefulness is now unnecessary since he isn't an Orphnoch. But you, you are."

And that was how it happened. I was told that Takeo had betrayed me so that he could survive. He had sold everyone so that he could survive the onslaught. And I trusted him for Pete's sake!

Now, I was going to die by the hands of the Orphnochs.

I beg of you...

Great. Now I was hearing voices. What else could go wrong?

My servant that exists in the vast universe...heed my call, I wish from the bottom of my heart...

Wait...was I hallucinating or is this reality? Who is this talking to me and why does it sound like something out of a Harry Potter movie or something like that that involves magic and spells?

Answer to my guidance and appear!

Before I could react, a green sphere appeared and it engulfed me.

A/N: That's it for the first chapter! Please tell me what you think of this.
