Ryuki was in the cockpit of the ChronoLiner, standing next to the Chrono-Speeder bike which controlled the whole train. The first time he'd ever stepped into this room had been 11 years ago and since then he'd piloted the ChronoLiner many more times. The train was able to travel through space and time, go to any time period or any world within the Multiverse. The only condition was that the coordinates be set.
Ryuki took out a ticket with the coordinates to his world and slid it into the train pass. He then straddled the bike and put the pass into a slot between the handlebars. Taking hold of the handlebars, he looked up at the screen as the coordinates are set.
"Andie, is everyone settled?" Ryuki asked the gynoid stewardess of the ChronoLiner.
"Hai!"Andie cheerfully answered. "They have already been seated, Hasuma-sensei!"
"Yosh, ikuyo!" Ryuki said as he started up the engine.
The ChronoLiner shot out of a portal but instead of Earth it was in space. "Hello, and thank you for using the ChronoLiner for your Multiversal traveling needs. I am Andie, the assigned gynoid stewardess to this train. If you have any inquiries, please don't be shy to ask." She gave them a wink. "Now, as you can see we are in outer space. If you'll look to your right you will see the three artificial planets that make up the Orion System! The inhabitants of each planet used to live on a single planet but after a long period war their planet became inhabitable and so they built three space stations and fled into space. These space stations would continue to grow and upgrade to become artificial worlds. The Planet Saber is the home of the Sabretron faction, which are peaceful and try to achieve peace through non-violent means. Then we have the Planet Death which has a Spartan-like society. It is also where the Deathtron Secret Police are based on. Finally, right in the middle, is the Planet Trika where the neutral Trikatrons live. They are mostly merchants but they are also mercenaries that will work for anyone for the right price."
"Sugoi…" Kazuki breathed as he stared out his window.
"We're actually seeing other planets," Kotonoha said excitedly.
"Wow," Kokoro beamed.
"To think that other planets existed aside from FM," Redder spoke out of astonishment.
"That was obvious, Redder," War-Rock said, "ever since we joined ARMOR."
The train went into another portal and then exited, flying past the Planet Oa.
"The Planet Oa is the home base of the Green Lantern Corps who are an intergalactic police force. On Oa, new recruits are trained so they can utilize their ring's power. The Green Lantern Corps, however, is not the only Corps in the universe but we will get to that later," Andie continued.
"Corps like the Blue Lanterns and Star Sapphires, right?" Kazuki asked with enthusiasm. Andie nodded in confirmation.
The train flew into another portal to exit another one. "Here we are in the Vega System which is where we can find the Planet Tamaran. The current Empress of Planet Tamaran is Empress Komand'r and her royal consort is known as Yoshiyuki Takada of Earth. Together they have two children: Prince Renand'r and Princess Evand'r."
Kotonoha blinked, "Does she mean Takada-hakase?"
"I guess so," Redder shrugged.
The ChronoLiner sped into another portal and finally exiting over Earth.
"Onee-chan, Onee-chan," Kokoro called excitedly, "Look, it's the Earth!"
Kotonoha looked out the window, "It looks so beautiful from space," she said in awe.
"Definitely," Kazuki agreed.
"Now, if you look to the right, you will see the Watch Tower of the Justice League," said Andieas she spoke into a microphone.
"Waah, that's where members of the Justice League are stationed," Kazuki beamed. Kazuki was an avid comic book reader, so he knewabout many of the heroes and villains of the DC and Marvel universes.
Andie stated, "And now we'll be entering Earth's atmosphere."
The train entered the Earth's atmosphere without the danger of overheating due to reentry. The train then flew across the sky. "This is Jump City where the Teen Titans were founded and if you look out your window you can see the magnificent T-Tower. Many of ARMOR's agents were once members of the Teen Titans."
One portal jump later, the ChronoLiner was flying over Tokyo and entering the Town of Fukurou. It was heading for a huge mansion with a wide estate that had a garden and hedge maze. The mansion itself could've been a castle due to its size. The ChronoLiner landed on the driveway towards the mansion before stopping. "Our tour ends here. Thank you for boarding the ChronoLiner." The door slid open.
Ryuki jumped out of the cockpit and once his feet were on the ground he was welcomed by maids that were all lined up on either side of the driveway. "Okaerinasai, Goshujin-sama!"
Kazuki was in awe at the welcome,"Sugoi... I didn't think you were rich, Ryuki- sensei..."
Ryuki looked back to him,"It's not something I want to brag about, Agent Ryuunosuke."
"Look at all the pretty outfits," Kokoro beamed as she admired the attires of the maids.
"This place is like a palace," War-Rock commented from inside the Wave Scanner.
When Ryuki opened the door, he was knocked to the ground by two small children. "Papa!" the children cried out.
"Hello, Ryu-chan, Ryu-kun," smiled Ryuki, ruffling their hair. Ryutaro and Ryuko Hasuma wereRyuki's twin, 6-year old, children. Ryuko was a girl with black hair and a pink streak running through it with pink, cat-like, eyes. Ryutaro had black hair too but with a red streak running through it with green, cat-like eyes. Ryuko was in a pink Chinese dress with her long hair in buns while Ryutaro wore a blue Chinese shirt with black pants and short hair.
The twins then saw Kotonoha and beamed, "It's Aunt Koto!"
"Eh...?" Kotonoha sweat-dropped.
"They think you're Ryuji's Kotonoha," Ryuki explained.
Kazuki chuckled, "That's true. Maybe you should dye a bit of your hair, Koto- chan, to differentiate between Katsura-san."
"How about a red streak?"
"That's a great idea," Redder agreed.
"That'd be perfect," Kazuki beamed.
"And welcome back, Doctor," smiled Jinx, his wife, who stood over them. "I see you've brought along some company."
"Ah, Jinx-san," Kazuki greeted."Konnichiwa."
Kotonoha greeted as well, "Konnichiwa."
"Any reason why they're here?" asked Jinx.
After a brief explanation, the group was brought into the mansion. Sitting in the living room, with a book, was Ryuki's mother, Narukawa-Hasuma Emiko. "Okaa-san, we have guests."
Emiko smiled as she stood up. Spotting Kotonoha, she immediately ran over to hug the girl. "It's good to see you again, Kotonoha-chan!"
"Eh?" Kotonoha blinked in confusion.
"Okaa-san, this is not Ryuji's wife. This is another version of Kotonoha," said Ryuki.
Emiko blinked and stepped away from the girl. "Hm, she does look younger than last time." She apologized, "Sorry, it's just that I haven't seen her in awhile."
Ryuki introduced, "Kazuki, Kotonoha, this is my mother."
"Yoroshikuonegaishimasu, Hasuma-san," the three children bowed.
"Oh, you three are absolutely adorable," Emiko gushed as she captured Kazuki, Kotonoha, and Kokoro in a strong hug.
Jinx giggled, "Come on, let's show you three around then." She, along with the other Hasumas went toured the mansion, followed by Kazuki and the girls.
"You get the feeling this vacation is only gonna get more interesting?" War-Rock asked Redder as the hovered behind.
"Definitely," Redder agreed as they caught up to the group.
"And here's the home theatre room," Ryuki said.
It was LITERALLY a theatre
"Big..." Redder stammered
War-Rock nodded, "Epic..."
"My mother built it so she can see all of my adventures on the big screen," Ryuki explained.
"Our family's library and archives," Ryuki directed."Since Jinx joined, there's stuff on also have books on martial arts and other subjects."
They were in a large room with a seemingly limitless supply of books. Kotonoha was visibly drooling, making Kokoro and Jinx giggle.
Ryuki pointed, "And here's the game room."
It was basically a large arcade room
"Dibs on the Super Street Fighter 4!" War-Rock called as he flew into the room.
"You don't even have hands!" Kazuki argued as he chased after him.
"Wait for me!" Kokoro followed.
"Here's the dojo," Ryuki guided.
It was quite spacious and the floors were completely spotless.
"Wow," Kotonoha said, "I've never seen a dojo so clean before..."
"Well, the maids always make sure everything is clean. On the weekends we have students coming in and the masters of the school teach different levels. We also have several branch establishments all over the world that teach different aspects of the school. The Hasuma School of Combat Arts has three different focuses: Offense, Defense and Stealth."
Kazuki gets excited, the electricity dancing off his hair and hands.
Ryuki continued, "I mostly followed the Defensive style, supported by offense and minor in stealth."
Kazuki smiled, "I like this place more and more."
Ryuki smiled, "Well, there's another place I want to show you."
It was a wide campus with so many buildings it was like looking at a city that was surrounded by a wall. The wall itself was like a barrier to the outside world. In fact, Red Horse Private Academy had also earned the nickname Academy City since students who lived inside were given dorms that were no different from apartment buildings.
"This is Red Horse Private Academy," Ryuki. The nostalgia was amazing.
"Sugoi!" Kokoro awed
"Wow, wicked big!" Kazuki commented.
Ryuki explained, "Education is provided from the kindergarten level all the way to university level. It's an escalator school so you don't need to take an entrance exam to get to the next level.
"Koto-chan would probably graduate from here in no time..." Kazuki always thinks very highly of Kotonoha.
"Since you'll be staying in this world, you'll be going to school here. Your tuitions will be deducted from Kazuki's ARMOR account."
Kazuki nodded, "Oh...OK, I guess."
Ryuki looked at him worriedly, "What's the problem?"
Kazuki shook his head, "Just weird that I have to start school again. Nothing wrong with it, that it brings back some memories of when I went back to Sakakino High."
Ryuki chuckled, "It's funny, and I graduated when I was 17."
Kazuki was dumbfounded, "Wow, you must be the Multiverse's greatest doctor or something..." Ryuki only got more badass in Kazuki's eyes.
"What hasn't this guy done yet...?" War-Rock muttered.
Ryuki then explained, "Actually, I graduated from the high school level when I was 17. I didn't go straight to university. I mean, the school actually made us graduate early because they couldn't expel us and wanted to get rid of us because of all the damage we caused."
War-Rock cocked an eyebrow and asked from inside the Wave Scanner, "I'm guessing that Takada guy had something to do with it?"
Ryuki sighed, "Unfortunately, you're right. But the three of us really caused a lot of damage together. There was Takada's experiments, my psychic powers, and Ichijyo's magic...I'll tell you about that Science Fair thing."
War-Rock shook his head, "Forget it. I might have nightmares if i hear about this."
"Then why don't we look around the campus?" Kazuki suggested.
Ryuki nodded, "Sure, let me show you around."
Since the campus was huge, Red Horse Academy had its own private train system. There were stations at specific points of the campus. It was convenient. They made various stops to check out the Middle School section and also the High School section. Aside from the usual facilities a school like this would have, the school even had its own water park, a museum and a shopping district. Ryuki also showed them the racing circuit and the stables where horses were kept for the Equestrian Club. The gymnasium had pretty high tech exercise equipment as well, as developed by Smart Brain. The computer lab also had the latest computers, also provided by Smart Brain Corporation. There was even a large amusement park.
"So, what do you both think?" asked Ryuki.
"The amusement park looks like fun," Kokoro smiled.
Ryuki nodded, "There will be romantic bonds, so there's an amusement park for couples to have fun at. It ONLY opens on the weekend."
"I have a good feeling about this place," Kazuki smiled.
Ryuki smiled back, "Then let's get going. It's almost time for dinner."
Emiko, Jinx, and Kotonoha were sitting together in the study, having a small conversation while Kotonoha got to know the two elder mothers.
Kotonoha asked the two women, "So what was it like when you two first had children, Hasuma-san, Jinx-san?
Emiko answered first, "Well, for me, it was difficult trying to raise two children on my own after their father moved on. But I did my best. When my little kitten and dragon were born, they were just so beautiful. It was a miracle."
Jinx smiled, "I remembered doing a lot of screaming when I was giving birth. I mean, it hurt like hell! I think I shorted out the equipment before I finally popped those two babies , the pain was worth it when I saw them."
Kotonoha rubbed her belly, "I wonder how they will turn out..."
"So, you're very young," Emiko pointed out, "You must still be in high school, and you're pregnant."
Kotonoha chuckled nervously, "Well, that was kind of my fault... Even though we never had to worry about pregnancy for the past six months back home, we underestimated the expiration date of Kazuko-san's pill."
Jinx grew curious, "What pill? A birth control pill?"
Kotonoha shook her head, "Kazuko-san, Kazuki-kun's older sister, made a pill that made Kazuki-kun sterile for six months."
"Wow, it's like a temporary vasectomy."
Kotonoha blushed as she recalled their sessions, "We made love many, many, times..."
Emiko blushed at her forwardness, "Oh, my…"
Jinx grinned, "So...how was it?"
Kotonoha blushed like a cherry, "It was electrifying, literally..."
Jinx leaned back and closed her eyes, "I remembered my first time. He was so warm and gentle. His hands were all over me and...Ah~"
"By the way, is Hasuma-sensei an actual dragon?"
Emiko shook her head, "Oh no, but he's always had the spirit of one deep inside."
Jinx shrugged, "But, well, there was a dragon in his ancestry, according to old archives."
Kotonoha looked away, as if in thought, "I guess Kazuki-kun is the only one...He seems so fond of Hasuma-sensei, as if he was a second father to him."
Jinx blinked, "Really?"
Kotonoha nods, "You see, Kazuki-kun's father disappeared several months ago before he became Rockman. Kazuo-san was working in a space station when it exploded. His body was never found among the wreckage." She frowned, "Also...Kazuki-kun's mother died from giving birth to him."
Emiko smiled, "I guess they identify with each other."
Kotonoha continued, "Also, Kazuki-kun is actually the reincarnation of Seiryuu."
Jinx cocked an eyebrow, "Really?"
Kotonoha nodded, "Kazuki-kun told me that a first-born male is infused with Seiryuu's spirit, becoming the vessel for the dragon's soul, which was resting in his mother's body until Kazuki-kun was born."
Emiko nodded, "We have the same tradition here too. The first born son of the clan head will inherit a demon from their father."
Kotonoha blinked, "A demon?"
Jinx nodded, "You see, centuries ago, Ryuki's ancestor sealed a demon inside himself. Of course they needed the demon to stay sealed so they devised a process where the demon would transfer to the first born son. It went like this for several generations and now my little Ryutaro is a demon vessel."
"Sugoi..." Kotonoha breathed.
A maid entered the study and bowed, "Ojou-sama, Goushujin-sama, Ryuunosuke-sama, and Katsura-sama have returned from Red Horse Private Academy. He has successfully enrolled them into Red Horse's Middle and High School."
Kotonoha blinked, "Red Horse?"
"It's the school he used to go to," Jinx explained.
"And Kokoro-chan will be going too?"
Jinx nodded, "The school provides education from kindergarten, up to college level."
"Wow. I hope Kokoro-chan will be OK. She's friendly, yes, but I used to be bullied when I was young. I just hope she doesn't suffer the same way I did..."
Jinx giggled, "You really are like the other you, you know that?"
Kotonoha giggled, "I guess Kazuki-kun protected me, so it wasn't that bad."
Jinx grinned, "Must've been nice having your own knight in shining armor with you since childhood."
Kotonoha sighed with a blush, "For me, it was love at first sight. He was so shy back then."
"Papa, what are we doing here?" A ten-year-old Kazuko asked her father. She wore a blue shirt with purple shorts.
Ryuunosuke Kazuo was holding a five-year-old Kazuki's hand. He seemed to be hiding behind his father. Kazuki was wearing a black shirt with blue overalls.
"We're here to meet some friends, Kazuko," Kazuo answered as they stood in front of a house. He rang the doorbell and a woman opened the door. "Hey there, Mana-chan," Kazuo grinned.
"Ah, Kazuo-kun," Katsura Manami smiled, "It's so good to see you!" She looked down to see Kazuko and Kazuki and smiled, "Oh, Kazuko-chan, Kazuki-kun! Nice to see you again!"
"Hello, Manami-san," Kazuko smiled.
Kazuki cowered behind his father and nodded shyly, "Hello…"
Kazuo smiled down at Kazuki, "Come on, let's go inside." Kazuki nodded and followed his father inside, followed by Kazuko.
"Good to see ya, Kazuo," Katsura Kiyoji greeted as they bro-hugged.
"I could say the same, Kiyo," Kazuo returned.
While the adults were talking, little Kazuki and Kazuko wandered around the house, looking at decorations and artifacts. Everything looked expensive to Kazuki, so he was careful not to touch anything.
"Hi."
The brother and sister turned and Kazuki froze when he saw the girl before him. She had big brown eyes that were bright and full of life, as well as long black hair that went down her back like an onyx curtain. She wore a white one-piece dress.
Kazuki blushed fiercely and stammered, "Um… He-Hello…"
"Hi, I'm Kazuko," the ten-year-old introduced.
"I'm Kotonoha," the girl smiled. She looked to Kazuki, "What's your name?"
He blushed, "Kazuki…"
Kotonoha smiled and grabbed his hand with a blush on her face, "Would you like to be friends?"
Kazuki's eyes brightened as he smiled, "OK…!"
She smiled and kissed his cheek, making him blush even more as Kazuko smirked at the scene.
Emiko sighed, "It was like with me and my dear Kyousuke."
The two girls sigh dreamily before they all left the study to greet the returning party.
After Kazuki and Kokoro registered as students at Red Horse, the group returned as everyone enjoyed a feast that was fit for a king. And like always, Hasumas are big eaters and Hasuma children are no exception.
Kazuki to one bite and he was crying his eyes out, "It's amazing! Even better than my own cooking!"
"I'm so glad you're enjoying it, Ryuunosuke-kun," Emiko smiled.
Kotonoha and Kokoro were also enjoying their meal with smiles on their faces.
In the middle of dinner, Ryuki got a call and answered his cell phone. After a moment, he hung up the phone and groaned, "Not again..."
Kazuki noticed the troubled look on his face, "What happened?"
"Kid Kaos."
Jinx sighed, "That loser again? How did he break out?"
Ryuki shrugged, "Who knows, but I'm putting him back in the cell and making sure they put power dampeners right in his body."
"Do you need any help, Sensei?" Kazuki offered.
"Well, Kid Kaos has the power to control machines using his electrical powers. So, why not?"
Kid Kaos is a punk-like super villain, wearing a leather jacket with black jeans and boots with spiked up hair with lightning bolt-shaped streaks. He also has a spiked collar and bracelets and he's causing a panic as all the machines do his bidding.
"MAKE WAY FOR CHAOS!" Kid Kaos demanded as he shot lightning everywhere, "HAHAHAHA!"
The cars crash into buildings and explode, and all the machines are going crazy. Hell, it's so bad that TV screens are showing nothing but hardcore porn. The police can't do anything as their own weapons turn on them
"KAOS!"
Kid Kaos looked up to see Kamen Rider Draco descending from the sky as he landed in front of the villain. Kazuki landed on a car hood and crouched as he poised himself to act at the slightest signal. He was wearing his Visualizer and a blue scarf that covered his mouth.
Kid Kaos smirked, "Oh, it's Draco himself, huh? How have you been doing?"
Draco pointed at Kid Kaos with his Key Blade, "You're going back to prison, Kaos."
Kid Kaos chuckled darkly, "I still haven't paid you back for that which is why I have THIS planned for you."He snapped his fingers and all the vehicles in the vicinity combine and form into a metal golem. "It's a new trick I've been working on," Kaos laughed.
"I've seen scarier things cooked up in Takada's lab," Draco scoffed.
Kazuki nodded, "Heh, Andromeda was scarier than that thing."
Draco pointed his finger and lifts the golem off the ground and slammed it to the ground to break it apart, leaving Kid Kaos to gawk. "Agent Ryuunosuke, Kaos is all yours," Draco said.
Kazuki nodded, "Hai, Sensei!" He jumped in front of Kaos and bowed, "Yoroshikuonegaishimasu!"And he took a battle stance.
"You'd rather have a kid fight me?" Kaos growled as he rushed at Kazuki.
He sidestepped a punch and palmed Kaos in the face, making him stumble as Kazuki continued with a flurry of punches. Kazuki then ducked another punch and kicked upward, catching Kid in the chin as he sent his skyward. Kazuki then jumped up and got behind Kid as he wrapped his arms and legs around Kid Kaos as he directed them back down to Earth, spinning rapidly like a drill, headfirst.
"Dragon Lotus!" Kazuki shouted as the slammed into the concrete, causing a massive crater with Kid's legs sticking up from the dirt.
After the fight, Kaos was being put into a police van with a power dampener around his neck and stasis cuffs. However, the day wasn't over as Kazuki and Draco were swarmed by reporters
"KAMEN RIDER DRACO, IS THIS YOUR NEW SIDEKICK!"
"WHAT'S YOUR NAME, KID?"
"ARE YOU GONNA BE WORKING WITH DRACO HERE?"
Kazuki sweat-dropped, "Ano...I'm just doing some training while I'm away from home... But I guess you can call me...Um...let's see..." He snaps his fingers and smiled, "I got it! Blue Dragon! Yeah, you can call me the Blue Dragon!" He bowed, "Yoroshiku!"
To Be Continued…
Bushido: And this is Kazuki's first day in ZKD no Sekai! Hope you guys like this, for there will be some other surprises.
