The most non-canon cross-over in the world, kinda....

Well, I did say, I was going to make a separate post for this.... I'm still missing a few pictures, but I guess, I could add them in later.

Ummm.... I think, the last update kinda gave things away, when I labelled it as [DCD-STK].... so I guess, I could talk about it here freely, in more detail.

(Right, the first thing I'll do is cut out the Shimi-speech. That should make it easier to describe everything without having to re-phrase whole sentences with the pauses added in.)

One of the things I like about Decade, is that it gives you the "feel" of another Rider series without really spoiling any plot-important elements in the actual show; or at least only vague hints that mainly those who watched that particular series would pick up. I think it's quite a good way to introduce these different settings and even provide some background, while still leaving in the surprises for a first-time viewer to enjoy if they start watching these other series.

This idea made me start thinking about how the STK series could be condensed and re-interpreted into this format. Well, what started off as a stray thought developed into a side-project that I might do one day, but considering the slow start STK's having, it will might be quite some time before I start working on this properly.

Anyway, it wasn't as hard as I first thought, since I've already planned out the major points of the overall story for STK, I just needed to pick out the relevant portions to play around with. In some way, it is a sort of "test" to see how well a grasp I have on my own work and how malleable the concepts are if placed in a different situation. In fact, after I make some head way into STK, I intend to offer anyone who's interested permission to re-interpret the stories and characters as they see fit. Having already re-made a number of parts at this point, I'm interested to see what else could be done, in a "compairing notes" type of experiment.

At the moment I have a loose outline of what's going to happen, still subject to change, of course. One of the best ways for me to get my ideas down is to jot a few sketches, although I feel that they do look slightly gimmicky right now:

FINAL FORM RIDE: E-E-E-EDGE (EDGE BREAKER)

FINAL ATTACK RIDE: E-E-E-EDGE (DECADE COMET)

FINAL FORM RIDE: K-K-K-KOUSEN (KOUSEN VULCAN)

FINAL ATTACK RIDE: K-K-K-KOUSEN (DECADE BULLET)

I've also formed a short cast list for who I want to appear. I'm trying to keep it as bare-bones as I can, while including some in-jokes that relate back to the series:

• Jo Kawasaki - Kamen Rider Kousen
  
• Ken Hikawa - Guardian Rider Edge
  
• Suzumi Sawano - Kamen Rider Fin (I'm going to still carry on that long-running gag, so Su-chan hasn't changed AT ALL. She's even wearing the exact same outfit from Mk.01!)
  
• Mishi (I know, I was being purposely lazy with her....)
• Ryoji /(Elijah Kenichiryou Hisawa!!?? - Satssin Rider)
  
• Ryoji's mum (Erina)

I've drawn up character sketches too, to give both an idea and reminder of how I want them to look:

• He might look like Goji, but he's actually Taiki in disguise.
  

• It might not seem clear in this image, but Kenny's doing a Ritsuki imitation.
  

• Su-chan's.... just Su-chan.
  
• "Mishi" is supposed to be a Risk Assessment.... Officer.... at the Police. She actively updates her diary as day-to-day things happen, pulling down her wraparound shades before she gets to work. It's hard to pick out the details, but she's also wearing two headbands (one thin plastic and one broad cloth) and also has an inverse pony-tail. I guess she's still a weirdo, just in different ways....
  

• Hey look, it's Ryoji and her mum.
  

Ok, here's some notes for other bits of information I have lined up:

• Tsukasa's an international-level, professional motorbike racer and the only S-Class Guardian* in existence, outdoing both main Riders of this world. 
  

(* S-Class Guardians have complete autonomy and unlimited access within the organisation. They also didn't exist in this world until Tsukasa arrived....)

>> ***Abnormal activity detected. Requesting aid from all available S-Class Guardians.***

"Streak's world..."

- VRMMMMMMM -

"Or should that be Edge?"

• Natsumi and Yuusuke take a tour of the new and improved Guardian HQ, with some unexpected cameos.
  

• The Rival Rider is going to be Dash. Ummm, I'm really sorry about this....
  

"Uhhh.... wait, I'm not evil, so.... what am I fighting.... for????"

"Oooops. I think, I forgot why I even came here...."

Lastly, here's a select few quotes from this story:

"You have a boyfriend?"

"Well... yeah, we've been seeing each other for a whi-- Oh look, JoJo's over there right now!"

"... Why do you call him that?"

=

"I haven't seen the blue Rider for a while, I wonder who he is?"

"I'm sure you'll find out someday."

=

"Alright, I'll just add that to my diary now... I'll usually forget by the time I get home."

"I'm honestly glad we're not going to hang out often..."

=

"Oh, thank goodness! Officers, I need some help. My son's wandered off again and I don't know wh--"

"Boo."

=

"You're riding him!? Should I even TRY to comment on what that's suggesting?" (I... don't even WANT to comment on what's being suggested!)

"Yo-Yo! You didn't mention the fist!!"

Ok, that should be it. My break's over, so it's time to get back to those Eri photoshops....
