Is this it? The afterlife? Huh, it's......quieter than I expected.....it feels....nice to actually rest after my journey... Mom, Dad, Little Brother, Little Sister....I'm coming to join you in heaven.
My name is Jose Barboza, I've been on this journey for 5 years now, until my death. How I died you may be wondering?
Simple, I thought I could defeat the Demon King of Time and Space, Ohma ZI-O, Sougo Tokiwa's older self, but a lot of good that did. Only to get injured fatally, that I realized I was dying...heh, isn't a bad way to go, after losing my entire family when I first became Kamen Rider Decade.
Hey, the friends I made on this journey as a photographer, and the enemies I've made as well traveling throughout many worlds, including said friends ended up fighting me in insure their world wouldn't be destroyed if they killed me.
Oh? I see I have you all alarmed eh? Well let me put it like this.
I'm a Kamen Rider! What is that you might ask? Well Kamen Rider's are all normal humans who gained the power of ancient, man made, or even invented belt buckles with uninmaginable power where those who are chosen, become legendary in their own worlds to protect humanity from ancient monsters, man made monsters, or even ones from other worlds!
Where do I fall into this? Well, I'm known as Kamen Rider Decade! Also known as my famous or infamous Title, The Destroyer of Worlds.
Shocker right? How can a Kamen Rider who is a protector of humanity be a Destroyer?!
Well, that's a bit hard to explain, you see, I wasn't always like this, I didn't choose to be the Destroyer of Worlds, it was given to me by an old family member of mine, when he was at death's door. So what has happened is that with the power, I became a Kamen Rider, I had a duty to protect the innocent and my family and friends!
But it was all for naught......the week after I became Decade, my world was attacked.....I tried to save as many people as I could, but......it was useless.......my friends, family, people, all were killed...even.....my unborn baby brother... In my rage, I did my best to destroy the various monsters from the Kamen Rider worlds..but there were too many. So I did the only thing I knew to do as Decade, I destroyed my own world as soon as I walked through an Aurora Curtain.
I've been traveling through many different worlds until I came to this one on my fifth year, where I helped Sougo fight and defeat Another ZI-O II until I came to the alternate world where I hunted down all the fake Sougo's and defeated them until it was just me and the real Tokiwa Sougo to fight his evil self, who apparently changed into a kid to save his energy and power from destroying and rebuilding the other worlds! So I fought his evil older self in my complete form, which helped against the monsters he's summoned, but against Ohma ZI-O, I got my ass handed on a silver platter... So that's how I'm here in the afterlife or well dark void.
'This is nice, sleeping for all eternity.'
Suddenly a disembodied voice spoke out to me.
"Chosen.."
'W-what? Who's there?'
"You are our chosen in this universe's darkest times."
'What do you mean, chosen?'
"Our chosen to save the worlds and universe, as well as being able to get your wish granted."
'What wish was that?'
"The wish to save your family and friends....and to meet those you wanted to meet back in your own world..."
'If I go through with this....will I really be reunited with my family again?' Jose asks the voice almost pleadingly with hope in his voice.
"If you save the worlds, yes you will. Plus so much more~"
'Eh? What do you mean by much more?'
The voice just giggles and then responds.
"Nothing to worry about~! Do you accept being in the Universe of Honkai Star Rail? To help save it?"
My eyes widened at hearing that......Honkai Star Rail.....that's something I haven't heard of in a while...
Sadly my phone doesn't work in other worlds....so I still have it as a memento....and my failure to save everyone I cared about...
I then spoke up with a voice that I barely had left in my body, as I was slowly turning into particles.
"I accept, I will save the various worlds of Star Rail, and meet those I love and care about."
Suddenly I felt the voice smile and then spoke. "Then we shall bring you to the world of Belobog and have you near the clinic I'm sure you remember from the game.... Natasha's clinic."
I smile and then nod. "I will finally get to see her and maybe Serval..." I said with a blush on my face.
"Then get ready for the journey and return of Kamen Rider Decade. Now go and do us proud." It then spoke so lowly that I could barely hear it. "You're going to like our surprises I'm sure of it~ hehe every female you like in the game, become Yanderes for you~ oooh I wonder if they're willing to share you with each other~!"
A bright white flash appears in front of me as I groan and I get teleported into the Underworld in an alleyway, with my wounds still open barely healing. "Gugh...damnit, I need to get some help....I can barely stand...." I then use the wall to help support me as I weakly call out for help. "Someone....please...help....me..." As I saw spots in my vision, I saw a few short figures running towards me and asking if I was ok, before I passed out.
Natasha's Clinic Natasha's POV
Another day of saving patient's and helping them get better....another day of wondering where my trailblazer, Jose went..... it's been a while since he's last been seeing us, seeing me. I hope nothing has happened to him.
Natasha: *sighs and gets up out of her chair* better get something to drink.
As I approached the fridge and opened it to get a Sugar Free Energy Drink. I heard the clinic doors open up suddenly.
???: "MISS NATASHA, MISS NATASHA!!"
I heard a voice I recognized from taking care of her in the clinic and exited my office.
Natasha: "what is it Hook? What's wrong?" I asked worried.
Hook: "There's someone who's hurt badly in an alleyway! He looked familiar to me! I think he's going to die!" She spoke afraid and worried.
I grew alarmed and looked at Hook worried.
Natasha: "How does he look familiar?"
Hook then looked up at her with tears in her eyes. "It looks like the trailblazer!!"
That got her even more attention. A trailblazer? Here?
Natasha: "Take me to him!" She then put on her coat.
Hook nods and they both run out of the clinic to where Hook, Julian, and Alina saw said person.
When they got there, Natasha saw clothes that looked too fancy to be down in the underworld. So she turns said person over and her eyes widened as she lets out a shocked gasp.
Natasha: "it can't be....it can't" 'Jose? He's here?! H-how?!?'
She then stroked his face gently as if trying to see if it was actually him. Once she confirmed it was. She picked him up in her arms and looked at Hook and the Moles.
Natasha: "Thank you kids for watching over him. I'll be taking him to the clinic now. I'll let you know if he wakes up." She got up and walked to the clinic in thought.
'How is he here? Why is he here? Who did this to him?! How could they hurt the man I love!' I then gained a sadistic smile on my face. 'Well whoever did this.... they'll pay for hurting my love~ but for now, he needs my help and fast!'
She then speeds up getting to the clinic and then sets him down into an empty bed away from the other patients who are now asleep. As her eyes glowed red with a soft smile on her face.
Natasha: *hums* as she helps clean my wounds and stitch them up along with bandaging the ones that are deep cuts.
'Rest now, my love~ I'll have questions for you in the morning~'
She then feels something in my suit pocket and pulls it out.
'hm? What's this?' The thing she pulled out was a magenta colored buckle with silver accents on it along with some strange symbols outside the rim of the crystal clear circle and on the slide levers of it there are three little dots on them on both sides in the middle of it.
Natasha wondered what this thing was and decided to put it aside for now onto the little table next to Jose's sleeping form.
She then smiles at seeing his lips and then wondered if she should do what she wants to do.
Natasha: 'should I? No! Bad Natasha! He's injured and asleep! Don't go taking advantage of him sleeping! You're a doctor damnit! I'll just let him rest.' I then smile and kiss his forehead gently. "Rest well, honey, I'll see if your doing better in the morning~" she said then goes to her office where there's a couch and bed to rest on.
Little did Natasha know that there would be various women after the one she loves, all of them noticed his arrival to the universe and are either looking for him, or waiting to meet him. How will this go when the various women want him as theirs? Will there be a bloody fight? Or will they all share him?
