ETERNAL RETURNES

So, this is what it's like to be dead. Floating aimlessly forever in a never ending white void. How many years has it been since he had first died? Ten? Twenty years? It doesn't matter now. However, the last time he was dead, for real that is, hell felt a little different….wait…felt? He rubs his fingers together from within his fingerless gloves, and he can feel his fingers touching each other! He's supposed to be dead, so how can he feel!

With a rush, Daido Katsumi, leader of NEVER, formally known as Kamen Rider Eternal, opens his eyes, only to realize of his surroundings, seeing the endless white void. Forgetting the void for a moment, he brings his right hand up to his face level. He wants to prove something, and right now, there's only one way to do it. He tightly tightens his hand into a fist, and then, he punches himself hard in the face. The impact…he…he felt it! What the hell's going on? He brings his hand back up and rubs the right side of his lip, the part where he punched himself… Wait…this feels like… He pulls his hand away and sees…the color red…on his fingers… Blood…HIS blood.

No longer able to hold it in anymore, he tilts his head upward, spreads his arms out…and laughs… "Ha ha ha…ha ha ha…hahahaha….! It's true! I am immortal! Hahahahahahahaha!"

"Calm yourself…Daido Katsumi." A calm voice, yet a voice filled with power, stops Katsumi from his insane laughter. He turns to every direction to find where the voice came from, but no matter which way he looks, he can't find it. "Look behind you." This time, the voice sounded like it came from behind, so he does as the voice told him, and he sees…something.

"Does my shape of appearance surprise you?" The shape of the being sort of looks like the wings of a bird, but of what kind of bird Katsumi has no idea, and the being's body color is red…like the shade of blood.

"Who…no…what are you?" Katsumi demanded, his voice not filled with surprise, but of confusion.

"My name is of no importance right now, but, if you're really curious, than I shall tell it to you. I am the king of all kings…I am power made manifest…I am the being that slays gods…my name…is Geass."

Katsumi stairs at the blood red pair of wings in silence for several seconds, then says, "…Geass, huh? So, what do you want from me? You want me to be your hired gun or something?"

"No, nothing like that." The pair of wings, Geass, answered. "And, I want nothing from you. For it is not I who needs you, but the people. They desperately need your help, yet they are unaware of their need for you."

"So what," The leader of NEVR sneered "you want me to go and play hero for you? Gomen, but I do not play the part of the hero. If you want a hero so badly, then go ask Double. Besides, why do you even need me to begin with? I'm supposed to be dead."

"I understand your anger, but I do not have any other choice. Kamen Rider Double is a formidable warrior I admit, but I cannot call him for such an important matter. Besides, this is more important for you than it ever could be for Double. Katsumi…I know what happened at Doctor Prospect's prison…what happened to Mina."

Hearing the name Mina made Katsumi's eyes widen. Mina, the woman he had fallen in love with months ago, who he had failed to protect, has awaken an old pain in his heart. "Kisama…how do you know that name?"

"Ever since the start of that mission, I've been watching your progress. When you've fallen for the woman, when you've first became Kamen Rider Eternal, and when you were forced to watch all those innocent people die, the people who you gave courage to rise up against their oppressors…Mina included."

"Uresai!" Katsumi yelled. "You know nothing! You understand nothing of my pain!"

"You're wrong, I do understand." Geass said with the sound of solemn in his voice. "That's why I wish to help you."

"…Nani?" The man with the cold dead body asked. "Ha ha ha…If you know what happened, then you know what I am. How can you possibly help me?"

"Well, to start, I can help you by returning you to life for real. You'll have no need for the serum any longer after wards. But you'll keep your super soldier abilities, this I swear."

Katsumi's eyes once again widened, this time from shock. "Nani? You can…return me to life?"

"Before you make any plans however, I must tell you this first. Once I bring you back, you'll no longer be on the Earth you grew up on."

This time, Katsumi's right eyebrow grew. "What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean I'll no longer be on the Earth I grew up on?"

"Surely that at least once in your life that you thought that there are more than one Earth. In this case, it is true, but not across the universe, but in different dimensions. Alternate realities if you will. There are a countless number of realities with their own version of Earth, and some don't have it at all.

For example, in one reality, instead of fighting both Kamen Riders Double and Accel, you teamed up with them to defeat Museum. You three riders became the heroes of Fuuto, and you and your team later joined the military to teach new trainees on how to fight. I cannot ask that Daido Katsumi because he has nothing to gain from this. But you do, that's why I'm going to send you to the Earth where the people need you."

"And what exactly will I gain from this?"

"Very simple…you'll learn on how to love people again." A long time of silence passes by as Katsumi remains silent. "Ever since Mina and those people died, you grew cold towards others, even to your own team mates. By going there to fight for the people, you'll not only teach them how to rise up and learn to love people again, but you'll learn what it means to be human again as well."

Katsumi's head slightly tilts forward, his eyes closed; his fingers tighten into fists, his chest slowly rises and slowly lowers from his deep breathing. Finally, after a moment, he opens his eyes, tilts his head back up and faces the pair of bloodied wings and says, "…All right. I'll do it. I'll become their hero. But I have some questions. First: my team. What about them?"

"…As long as you fight for the people, I'll revive each member of your team one at a time, and I'll send to the world that I'm sending you to. Prove to me that you earned their loyalty by earning the loyalty of the people."

"Fine, I'll do it. My second question: if this is a different version of Earth, what exactly will I be dealing with there?"

"This Earth will not have a United States of America, but rather an empire known as the Holy Britannian Empire. It is a superpower that is ruled by tyranny, and they are on a conquest to rule the world and take it as their own. After a total victory against a country, they strip the people of their rights and freedoms. Not only that, but they also take away the name of their country and give it an area number, and they call the people by that number instead of their nationality.

To win these wars, they use a giant machine called the Armored Autonomous Knight, or more commonly known as a Knightmare Frame. You won't have to personally fight them yourself, but you can if you want too. Oh, and, one very important thing that you should know about of this world. This Earth…has fragments of my power."

"What do you mean by 'fragments'?" Katsumi asked, curious what Geass meant.

"I mean, the people of this world have the potential to use my powers. Each human in the world has only one power and it's always different, making each and every one of them unique. However, not everyone can use it. The power must be activated from an outside source, in this case, someone who can already use the power, but their own power must be in the fourth stage, known as the Code. The Code makes them loose their unique ability, but in return it grants them eternal life."

"You mean," Katsumi asks with a raised eyebrow, "this Code can turn people into immortals?"

"Correct. The power was first discovered a few centuries back, and since my power doesn't have a particular name, the first users decided to name it after me, Geass. And, to know when someone has this power, the first stage is that would they would have an image of me within their eyes.

It starts off in one eye, and after a period of time, in the second stage, the power becomes uncontrollable. In the third stage, the power progresses to the second eye. For it to achieve the final stage, the Code, however, is to willingly embrace death. Only a very few amount of people have ever done that and came back with the code. The symbol of my power vanishes from their eyes, and then the symbol will appear on a part of their body. For example: either their forehead or the front of their hand."

Katsumi then asks, "What will I do if I have to fight someone with your power?"

"Do not worry. Believe it or not, your NEVER benefits grant you full immunity to the power of Geass. For example, there is one user who can read minds. With these benefits, that user won't be able to read your thoughts, so you're perfectly safe from all Geass users."

Katsumi nods his head in approval, begin a NEVER can certainly help out in any situation. "Hmph. It'll be as if I'm dead again, only this time I'll have a real living body, if what you say is true that is. Now then, my third question: when and where will you drop me off at?"

"It will be the year 2017. As to where, you'll arrive at Area 11, and, ironically, it is the same country you were born in, Japan. Britannia conquered Japan in the year 2010, and since then, the people of Japan had been discriminated for simply being who and what they are. They're occasionally beaten to death because the one who's inflicted the pain onto them would have the excuse of saying 'because it's fun to put them in their place like that.'"

Katsumi's hands rolled into fists, his anger rising. "My…my county, my home, in that world has been turned into a place like that?" His voice filled with anger as he yelled.

"Sadly, yes. That's why the people need your help, Daido Katsumi. If you gave courage to the people to help them rise up against Doctor Prospect, then you can give the people of an entire country courage as well.

Oh, and, one last thing you'll need to know. The Emperor of Britannia, along with a revolutionist who'll appear in some time…they both have fragments of my power, and they'll be having an indirect war with the other. Area 11, Japan, will soon become a battlefield."

"I understand." Katsumi said with resolve in his voice. "Stop the empire from conquering the world by giving the people the chance to rise up against it. Now for my last question: how I am I going to fight?"

For a first, Geass answers with a smug tone, "Do you really need to ask?"

Suddenly, Katsumi's hands feels like they're gripping on two different things. He looks down at his hands to two very familiar items that bring him great shock. In his left hand is his Lost Driver, and in his right hand is the T2 Eternal Gaia Memory, the two devices that allow him to become Kamen Rider Eternal. "But…but why?" The super soldier asked as he looks back to Geass.

"Isn't it obvious? In your world, Kamen Riders defend the people. And that's exactly what you're going to do. Defending the innocent people of Japan from the tyranny from Britannia. Now then, do you have any last questions before I send you off?"

Katsumi replies with a simple answer. At first, instead of words, he places the Lost Driver in the front of his stomach, the belt automatically wrapping itself around his waist, and his face…bears the look of determination. "None. Now, send me to this world of yours…send me to this world of hell…"

"I understand. Farewell, Daido Katsumi. May we see each other again someday. And now…welcome back…to the living!"

[EEE]

"It's your fault! This is what happens when you oppose the Britannians!" A man yelled to another.

"What? Why you gutless cowered!" The other man, Tamaki yelled back to the first.

"How many people were killed because of this?" A woman demanded as she drops to her legs while gripping on to her head.

"Shut up!" Tamaki yelled at her, making her cry. "Do you know how many of us were killed or captured? Do ya? Quit crying!"

"Ohgi, who was that voice we heard?" Kallen asked.

"Damned if I know." Ohgi said as he sits down. "He doesn't answer when I call, so maybe he-"

Suddenly, an explosion blew apart the large double steeled door, killing a few people in the process. The people screaming from the explosion, and to make matters worse, they can see the silhouette of a tank approaching.

"There, you see?" Tamaki yelled. "Instead of following somebody we don't even know, we should've used the poison gas!"

"But he…" Ohgi whispered, unable to believe that their would-be-savior would abandon them at a time like this.

"Damn, knock us all to hell!" Tamaki yelled as the Britannian troops marched in, their guns aimed directly at the innocent group of people, along with the militia.

"So this is where you Eleven vermin scurried off to." The commander commented as his body is halfway in the tank's cockpit. "Prepare to fire!"

"Hah…Naoto…!" Kallen whispered her brother's name, and praying for a miracle to happen. Fortunately…her prayers have been answered.

Suddenly, a combat knife flies through the air, and narrowly misses the commander's head, causing him to stop his order to fire. "What the hell!" He and his men, along with the Japanese, turn to the direction from where the knife was thrown. Everything and everyone grew quite as they hear the sounds of footsteps from an open door way.

Slowly, a man walks out. He appears to be in either of his late twenties or early thirties; he's wearing a black jacket with red highlights, along with black pants, boots and fingerless gloves. He even has streaks of blue in his brown hair. Also, around his waist is a black-grey belt, with a red device in the front.

"Oh, it's just another Eleven. Kill him first! Make an example out of him!" The commander ordered. The soldiers switch their targets from the group of people to the mysterious man. The civilians gasp, fully expecting what will happen.

"Hey man!" Tamaki yelled to him. "Don't just stand there! Move damn it!" The man however refuses to move from his spot. He then pulls something out of his pocket, which is revealed to be some kind of flash drive. The flash drive is colored white; the front of it has a golden E on it with a black back ground. He then pushes a small button on the white flash drive.

ETERNAL!

"Huh?" Was the exact same thing that almost everyone said. Then he places the flash drive in a slot in the red device. The device then projects wave after wave of golden energy of some kind, along with a golden holographic E in front. He then crosses his right arm over his chest and says the first thing since his arrival.

"Henshin." He brings his right arm over the red device and pulls it to its side, rolling the E once along with it, making the front of the belt look like a slanted L.

ETERNAL! A catchy tune plays from the belt as a life sized ring of blue energy forms in front of him.

Suddenly, fragments of armor started to attach to him, and a second later, a blue flame bursts out of the belt. The man is now covered head to toe in white armor, blue flames painted from his hands to his arms, a helmet with golden eyes and three horns like a trident, black box like devices equipped to his chest, his right shoulder and his left knee, and to complete the look, a black cape flew from his back, making him look like a menacing figure.

"Wha-what the hell!" The commander yelled, not expecting the man to transform in front of everyone. "What are you! Answer you damn Eleven!" Those words were on everyone's mind as they watch the transformed figure in shocked silence.

The black caped figure answers with two simple words. "Kamen Raida…Etanaru." Ladies and gentle men… Kamen Rider Eternal is back from the dead.

Author: What can I say; I'm a Kamen Rider Fanatic. If you're wondering who Mina and Professor Prospect are, they're from Eternal's movie from the Kamen Rider W Returns movies. Hope you enjoyed it, because I sure did!

Update: For those who may have noticed, I have added a few needed words, and fixed a few of them. And, I have taken back that Katsumi will have a Geass to resist the others, and have written down that his NEVER abilities will make him immune instead.
