(Open to anyone)

In the middle of the floating island that held the tower of Yen Sid, in front of the tower itself was a young man, laying on the ground. He groaned as he started to wake up. As he lifted his head off the ground, he blinked as if he didn't understand what he was seeing. After a few seconds his eyes widened and he got to his feet.

"Where the heck am I?" He asked no one as he put his hands in his pockets to see if he had any of his things still on him. The only thing he had however was a strange gun holstered at his side. However the man seemed shocked to see what he had. "Is this some kind of joke? This is the..."

Before he could finish he noticed some of the shadows on the ground seemingly come alive and menacingly making their way toward him. He backed away but considering he was on a floating island with the way to the tower being cut off from the shadow creatures there was no where to run. "I got to be crazy for trying this..." He muttered as he drew the weapon and aimed it at one of the creatures and pulled the trigger.

To his shock and relief, a beam of energy fired out from the antenna and struck one of the creatures. "That actually worked?"

As Scott was being threatened by the Heartless, a sound rapidly growing in pitch was heard from near the entrance to the Mysterious Tower. A charged blast of energy obliterated the Shadow, its crystalline heart floating up into the sky.

"Hornet Chaser!"

A sudden swarm of robotic hornets flew towards Scott, but instead of attacking, they instead attempted to put their surprisingly strong stingers into his clothes, and then lift him up.

"Don't struggle; the drones will lift you to safety until I can finish them off!"

Scott's savior was then fully revealed, diving out from behind a large bush: Proto Man. He rolled onto a knee, and fired at the Heartless with his Proto Buster.

"Woah!" Scott cried out as the robot bees picked him up. It was not really a good position for him considering how he hates any kind of insects, bees especially. With them coming out of nowhere and seemingly attacking him he was about to turn his phone gun on them. The only reason he stopped was because of how they were picking him up, he couldn't really aim all that well. That and the appearance of Protoman as the reason behind to the robotic bees also helped.

"Holy shit..." Scott muttered at the sight of the robot. As if things didn't seem crazy enough now he was being saved by a video game character. All he could do was wonder what kind of dream he was having because there was no way that this could be reality.

A Shadow leaped, but it was easily bashed away by Proto Man's shield, crashing against the ground and disappearing in a puff of black smoke. The last couple were easy enough to take care of with a few shots; Proto Man had been learning that these were a fairly weak variety of Heartless. Once they were taken care of, the robotic hornets set Scott carefully back on the ground, then flew back to Proto Man and disappeared.

The robot himself walked up to the unfamiliar human, looking up at him.

"Are you alright?"

It was rather cool to watch Protoman fight even if what he was fighting seemed to be rather weak. On the other hand it meant that Scott would get away from the robotic hornets sooner which he was totally fine with. Hopefully they didn't mess up his clothes too much. Though since he didn't know if this was real or not he wondered if that really mattered.

"Yeah I'm okay. Thanks for the help. I dunno how long I could have held off those things with just this." Scott said as he waved around the blaster weapon slightly. Now that the threats are gone he placed the blaster back into its holster at Scott's side. "So uh...I just found myself here and I have no clue if this is even real or not."

Proto Man looked momentarily confused (not like Scott could see his expression beneath his visor) at the boy's question. Real? These new worlds were definitely strange, but there was no doubting their existence. Had he suffered from some sort of head injury?

"Found yourself here? Did you take the train?"

Proto Man pointed towards the multi-colored tracks made of energy, floating in the air close to the island nearby.

Scott blinked as he looked over to the tracks that Protoman was pointing to. He did not remember seeing them earlier but then again he was a bit focused on the monster that attacked him.

"Uh no. I kind of woke up here. I was back home playing a game, I dunno blacked our or something then I woke up here." Scott said. This was starting to feel way too real to be a dream but there was no other way to explain it. Since he had no other idea he might as well go along with it. If it wasn't a dream he might be able to figure it out and if it was then it was going to be interesting at least.

"But yeah I'm Scott Carter. Thanks again for the help back there." Scott said. Probably be better not to show that he knew who Protoman was.

Considering what Duo had informed him, and also what he'd observed on is own, there were many strange anomalies that were affecting the worlds. He supposed Scott's story wasn't too out there.

Proto Man just nodded away his thanks, though, and motioned to the tower that twisted its way into the sky.

"I'm here to see the... 'sorcerer'," he was still getting used to the concept of magic. "that lives in this tower. He's supposed to know everything that happens around here. Maybe he can help you, too."

"A sorcerer huh? Well this seems like the best place to actually figure out what is going on." Scott said as he shrugged. He had no idea where he would go anyway so might as well see this sorcerer. It's not like he could get off this weird floating island anyway. Still he had to wonder how he got the phone and why he only got the phone. Without the other part the most the phone could do was be used as a gun.

"Let's head on in." Scott said as he walked into the tower. Laying in the middle of the room was a black, one strap backpack. "Hey that's my bag!"

Scott ran over and picked up his bag. He had no idea what it was doing here and why it was so far away from himself. He opened it up Scott's eyes widened and he pulled out a metallic belt.

Proto Man followed Scott into the tower, but was surprised when he found the backpack. Perhaps whatever distortion that had taken him here had landed his pack farther away? It's not like these things were very precise, from what he knew. Then again, he still had a lot to learn about this universe, which was why he was here.

He walked up to Scott, examining the strange belt.

"Something of yours?"

"Not exactly..." Scott replied unsure how to explain it. The belt and the gun, the Kabuto Kunai Gun, shouldn't even exist but then again this place and Protoman shouldn't exist either. However how did he have a Kabutogear and why was it with him when he woke up in this place? It didn't make much sense to Scott even overriding his excitement. As much as he would have loved to put it on and turn into a Kamen Rider his confusion over everything held him back.

"Part of it was on me when I woke up and now the rest is in my bag. I hope this sorcerer can help explain it." Scott said as he put the belt back in his bag and zipped it back up. He lifted up the bag and threw it over his shoulder. There was no way he was going to leave this here, even if he couldn't use it to transform.

"I don't have any answers, either." Proto Man said. While the belt certainly did seem to be some sort of technology, it wasn't of any kind he recognized. "Let's just keep going."

With that, he kept going, walking up a flight of curving stairs, and into a strange glowing portal. The other side led to more stairs, seemingly suspended in space by nothing at all. The tower seemed much larger than it did on the outside in this area, and up ahead at the end of the stairs, Proto Man could see a door.

"Strange..."

"You really think it's that strange when we are on a floating island?" Scott asked with a shrug. It was still strange but considering all the strange things that Scott has seen today, it didn't really stand out. Plus things being bigger on the inside wasn't really the strangest thing he has ever heard of.

"So how long do you think it'll take to get to the top of this place?" Scott asked as he re positioned his bag. He really wanted to take the Rider Belt out of the bag, put it around his waist and try to transform. But the chances of it working is pretty much nil. Which did make Scott question why he had it in the first place. But all that can wait till they got to the top and talked to this sorcerer.

Proto Man shook his head. "I don't know. I've never been here before."

Talk about showing off though, he thought as he walked up the stairs. Did this sorcerer really need all these stairs? He didn't really get tired, being an android, but having an escalator would be a lot more convenient. No point in complaining, though, so he continued through the door, into a circular room.

As soon as Scott stepped into the next room several new creatures appeared. These ones were white compared to the black ones outside and Scott took a step back. There were several Dusks, a couple Snipers, a couple Samurai and a Beserker. It did not look good and the Kunai Gun wouldn't be too much use by itself and Scott wasn't sure if Proto Man could handle them all while protecting him at the same time.

But he was looking for an excuse to try it anyway even if he wasn't sure if it would work.

Scott grabbed his bag, opened it up and pulled out the belt. However there was still a piece missing and he couldn't transform. If he had these parts already then he could only hope that the final part would come to him.

A Dusk seeing Scott open, slithered to him but something seem to fly out of a portal behind it, knock it out of the way and get caught in Scott's hand. He smiled as he held it up, a large, red robotic beetle. "Henshin!" Scott shouted as he slotted the beetle into the middle part of his belt.

Armor started to appear around him, starting from the belt, appearing like pixels until he was completely covered.

The armor consisted of a black body suit with silver armor on his feet and knees. His arms were covered by more silver armor that led up to his shoulders which were protected silver and red armor. On his chest was a large and bulky silver, red and black chest piece. His head was covered by a helmet colored like the rest of the suit but with blue eye panels and a V fin on his head.

"It worked! I'm a Kamen Rider!" Scott cheered.

Proto Man was prepared to battle the strange creatures that appeared (he remembered learning that they were similar to Heartless, but called Nobodies), but then Scott put on the belt, and transformed. This... power wasn't like any he'd seen before, but the new form reminded him slightly of Mega Man's Rush Adapter, or the similar one Bass possessed with Treble. And that name, Kamen Rider (his internal translation system told him it translated to something like "Masked Rider") sounded like something from he comic books he used to read.

Whatever it was, it certainly looked more battle ready than Scott was before, so hopefully he could defend himself. The Dusks were already wiggling their way through the air towards them.

"Noise Crush!"

A screeching sound emitted from his Proto Buster, purple waves of sound flying directly towards the Dusks, stunning them with the deafening sound before it rebounded off of a wall and hit the Berserker. With the enemies stunned, Proto Man changed weapons, his Buster disappearing entirely to be replaced with a triple sided blade, shaped almost like a leaf.

"Tengu Blade!"

He slashed at a Dusk several times, then bashed its head in with his shield, smashing it into the ground and destroying it.

Scott couldn't help but grin behind his mask as he punched one of the Dusks. He felt so much stronger than he ever had felt. He felt like he could take on the world and win. Another Dusk tried to sneak up on him but Scott spun around and kicked it away. Now that he had transformed he could use his blaster to its full strength.

Before Scott could keep going he was hit in the back. Scott turned to see one of the Samurai with its sword raised at him. He was glad for the extra armor that the Masked Form gave him. It really protected him from most the damage. Scott pulled out the Kunai gun and instead of holding it like a gun he held it by the barrel so it looked more like an ax. He charged the Nobody and clashed his ax against it's blade. The Samurai got around Scott's guard and slashed at Scott's chest. It hurt but once again the armor protected him. He pushed through and swung his ax through the head of the Samurai.

However during his fight many of the Dusk surrounded him and Scott smiled behind his mask. Using his left hand he hit the horn of the beetle robot on his belt. The armor around his chest, arms and head seemed to be ready to be removed. "Cast off." Scott said as he swung the horn like a lever to the other side and a compartment opened up on the beetle.

"Cast off." A voice from the beetle said and all at once the armor flew off of him and the impact was enough to destroy the Nobody. Without the armor the chest piece was less bulky and completely red. Same with the shoulders and the arms were less armored. The biggest change was that a horn rose up and placed itself in the middle of the helmet, giving Scott the image of the same beetle that was on his belt.

"Kamen Rider...Kabuto." Scott said. However before he could keep going he was knocked back with a hard blow to his back. He got up to see the Beserker raising its hammer again. "Clock Up." Scott said as he hit a button on the side of the belt.

"Clock up." Once again a voice from the beetle said and Scott seemed to be moving faster as he dodged the hammer. Scott frowned as it seemed as it wasn't as fast as it should be. Still it would be enough.

Using his new speed Scott got behind the Beserker and punched its back. As it turned he got behind it again. "1" The beetle said as he pressed on of the buttons that made up the beetle's legs. As the Nobody kept turning, Scott out maneuvered it, landing more blows. "2" With his new speed he just kept moving and attacking. "3"

Scott stopped with his back to the Beserker. He turned the beetle back to its original form. "And now for the finale. Rider Kick." Scott said as he switched its horn again.

"Rider Kick." It said as energy went from the belt to Kabuto's horn. As the Beserker went to attack, Scott jumped and spun around, kicking at the same time. The Rider Kick connected and with an explosion, destroyed the Nobody.

Scott paused as to take his breath. He really did it. He fought as Kabuto.

He had to admit, this was surprising. In less than a few moments Scott had gone from useless in a fight to more than capable. Did that strange armor technology give him powers? Strength enhancement of some sort was obvious, as well as that "Rider Kick". Proto Man was admittedly curious about what else it could do.

The robot managed to finish off the remaining Dusks with ease; Scott had even taken care of the more powerful Nobodies that were present.

With the battle over, his Proto Buster transformed back into a hand.

"Impressive." He said to Scott. "It looks like I won't have to protect you so much after all."

Scott removed the beetle from the belt and it flew off into the same portal it appeared in, which turned him back to normal. He grinned at Proto Man despite the soreness in his arms and back. While the armor protected him from most of the damage he was still a bit hurt from the attacks. It was something he had to keep in mind for next time.

"Thanks I wasn't expecting it to actually work. I know of the gear but I had to open the Kabuto Zector would want me to use it." Scott said as he placed the belt back into his bag. With it in there it was a good enough place to carry it around in case he needed it.

"So let's hope we don't run into any more trouble on our way up huh?"

Proto Man nodded to Scott, though it's not like the enemies were much trouble between the two of them now. Exiting the brightly colored room, the android stepped onto yet another staircase, though this one curved up and to the right to another door.

He rolled his eyes beneath his visor. How long was this supposed to go on?

It took a while but Scott and Proto Man finally reached the top of the tower.

"Finally..." Scott said as he leaned against a wall. Even though they didn't have to deal with any more attacks but Scott wasn't in the greatest physical shape so the fight and all the stairs exhausted him. He really needed to work on that later. Right now however that meant talking to the sorcerer they had been looking for.

Scott got up and looked over at Proto Man before opening the last door. Inside was a simple room with a old man in a blue robe and wizard hat, sitting at a desk in the middle of the room. His rather piercing gaze made Scott pause for a moment, unsure if he should continue. "Uh...hi. Sorry to just come into your tower...but uh I was hoping you could help us out since I just woke up here..."

The sorcerer simply held up a hand, the simple motion demanding silence.

"I know why you are here, young man."

Proto Man just leaned against a wall, silent for now. He would let Scott find out what he needed to know before asking his own questions. For his part, the sorcerer made another gesture, and a chair appeared in front of his desk.

"Please, sit, and all will be explained."

Scott blinked though he probably shouldn't be surprised. If this guy really was as good as Proto Man had said then it wasn't really surprising that he already knew why Scott was here. Still the trick with summoning the chair out of nowhere was pretty neat.

"So um where is here exactly anyway? And how did I get the Kabuto Gear?" Scott asked even though the Sorcerer had said that he would explain everything but Scott wanted to get some questions out there. This whole thing was just too confusing and if it wasn't the fact that he was still sore for the hits he took earlier he might have still thought he was dreaming.

"You are in my tower, orbiting around a world known as Twilight Town. The reason you are here is because you were caught in a spatial anomaly known as the Convergence, caused by a villain known as Xehanort."

With another gesture, a holographic image appeared in the corner of the room, that of an elderly bald man, with tanned skin, yellow eyes, and pointed ears.

"He attempted to have all worlds within his grasp at once, and therefore shattered the walls that formerly stood between them. This had unintended side effects on all Realms, causing anomalies unknown to even me." Yen Sid stroked his beard gravely. "The three realms: that of Reality, Waking, and Sleep have been connected more now than ever. You, Scott, are from the Realm of Reality, what you would call the 'real world'." The sorcerer looked at Proto Man now. "Though it may be hard to believe, there your adventures are fiction, played as games. This is because the other two Realms, usually so far apart form that of Reality, are only seen as dreams in yours. People often use them as inspiration."

Proto Man looked down. Fiction? But if he was understanding Yen Sid correctly, this was some sort of multiverse theory. Things were entirely different in those Realms, so was it so impossible that his life would appear as dreams to those in it? Considering everything Duo had told him and he had seen himself, it wasn't too far off. Though he wasn't sure how his life would make for good entertainment, he supposed it wasn't his problem.

Outwardly, the robot just nodded. "I understand."

"Good, good." Yen Sid said. He then closed his eyes, stroking his beard in thought before speaking to Scott again. "Now, how you obtained your equipment, I cannot say. This Kabuto Gear is unknown to me, and any amount of anomalies were caused by the Convergence. I am afraid that is something you will have to discover on your own."

So he really had been sucked into some kind of video game world and all these worlds were opened up to travel to? Well it made sense why Proto Man was here when he didn't really fit the scenery. Still it was pretty crazy for Scott to wrap his head around. Though it did give him an idea as how he got the Kabuto gear. Before he find himself here, he had been playing Kamen Rider Climax Heros and was playing as Kamen Rider Kabuto.

"So...is there any way to travel back to the...Realm of Reality?" Scott asked. As much as he wanted to stay here, better he be able to go home and check in every once in a while so his friends and family didn't think he got himself killed. It might be crazy to explain but with the Kabuto Gear it wouldn't be too hard to prove it.
