Chapter 18: An Origin Story...?

After the four teens confronted Shiro and Taiga's father news began to spread that HumaGears went berserk again after Aruto took up the mantle of Zero One and defeated Jin as Aoi defeated Horobi along with Ikazuchi who Vulcan also destroyed...

But it turns out that Horobi escaped A.I.M.S. Activity due to a group called Phantom Task...

Izu had not been able to connect with Satellite Zea until Hakase arrived and fixed the problem...

But they made a stop at Hiden Intelligence which they would meet Izu and Raito's Adoptive Father, Hiden Aruto...

Everyone would notice Izu with an ice pack on her head as she crouched down in front of the fan...

Raito would ask what happened and after a while, Izu called Hakase Bot...

An Inventor Type Old HumaGear who is actually named: "Hakase" first name and last name "Bot"

The name revelation got everyone shocked and confused as they all thought the big question...

Everyone thoughts: 'Who was the one who gave him such a lazy name!?'

Regardless everyone shrugged it off to avoid being rude to the Inventor Type HumaGear...

Aruto asked and wonder regarding the creation of Metsubojinrai.net which led Hakase to answer the question that he knows...

Everyone was confused on why Hakase would keep such a secret, but he answered nonetheless...

The inventor would reveal that he was the creator of Horobi a Father-Type HumaGear to raise orphans or widows to raise kids...

Hakase: "I didn't create him to be a terrorist..."

But when Daybreak happened all of the HumaGears were hacked by the malicious Satellite ARK which made all of the HumaGears in the facility to go through a rampage before a scientist inside the facility activated the Self-Destruct sequence and destroyed the whole facility which had the rampaging HumaGears with him along with it...

It was an honorable sacrifice so the berserk HumaGears wouldn't be released and hurt any civilians if they escaped...

Hakase also told them that He was an associate to Hiden Soreo...Aruto's HumaGear Father...who developed the technology to access powers to protect Humanity but instead Humanity's collective malice inside of the ARK taken control and instead made HumaGears have a direct connection to it resulting in their processors to be heavily influenced by the ARK resulting them to attempt and bring forth Humanity's Ruin...

Raito: "I wonder..."

Aruto: "What is it, Son?"

Raito: "Where is GrandFather?"

???: "Right here..."

On cue, a hooded person then walked through the door to Aruto's office!

Aoi: "Who are you?"

???: "I'm Hiden Soreo, HumaGear Father to Hiden Aruto and technically GrandFather to Hiden Raito..."

Aruto: "Dad, You're back!"

Raito blinked a few times before looking at the man...

Raito: "Didn't Dad say that you were offline during Daybreak...?"

Soreo: "Correction, almost offlined..."

Soreo: "I protected Aruto with my body when the explosion occurred, I would have ended up offline if it wasn't for Aruto's Grandfather Hiden Korenosuke repairing me when he found me letting me raise Aruto and when his Grandfather passed away Aruto would take the position as President, but I must say that I am quite proud with what you're doing son..."

Aruto: "Thanks, Dad!"

Soreo: "And I finally meet my Son's Son, hehehehe..."

Aoi chuckled at the comment while trying to keep a straight face!

Soreo: "I am proud of the man you've become Aruto...I am also proud that you have proven to everyone that HumaGears can co-exist with humans as equals proven with Raito's creation..."

Soreo: "And you Raito..."

Raito: "Yes, GrandFather..."

Soreo: "You will lead both HumaGears and Humans tp prosperity as you yourself are a HumaGear but was raised by a Human Father, just as I a HumaGear raised Aruto a Human child..."

Soreo: "You may not understand it now, but you will be the one to save and help form the dreams of both HumaGears and Humans..."

Raito: "By the way, where have you been?"

Soreo: "I've been on a journey to find my own identity, just as I have taught that Aruto wasn't born to be an heir to Hiden Intelligence as he has proven to be his own person as he molded his own destiny through you..."

Raito's eyes widened after hearing that and hugged Aruto!

The moment was soon ruined as Soreo explained that ZAIA was the one who developed Satellite ARK and its Malicious intent towards humans was clear and He created a failsafe for it to explode when launched...

What he said next was the thing that got everyone shocked as jaws drop at this new revelation...

The revelation that he was the one who originally created the Kamen Riders as the first Kamen Riders...codename: Ichi-Gata...

But as time went on he realized that wasn't enough to combat the ARK's continuous attempt to drive humanity to extinction, so he developed the latest Kamen Rider from Hiden Intelligence...

Kamen Rider Zero One, who was originally to be Aruto but Aruto decided that after a while he wanted Raito to be Kamen Rider Zero One to prove that HumaGear and Humans have the capacity to co-exist..!

Raito felt a tear before running to deliver a group hug to both his Father and Grandfather as the two older figures returned the hug...

While this happened...A Crimson figure stood above the roof of Hiden Intelligence...
