"We have another version of Kamen Rider Ryuki, Dragon Knight. Most of the stuffs stay the same but the story is a whole new one."

"Like... how different?" Anis asks.

"Really, really different. Unlike Ryuki, the world on the other side of the Mirror isn't called Mirror World, but rather, Ventara, where warriors known as the Kamen Riders fight againist the evil warlord Xaviax with their Advent Decks. In a war that resulted in all the Riders being wiped out, its lone survivor Len follows Xaviax to Earth, where the general tricks ordinary citizens into becoming new Kamen Riders to carry out his evil plans. While investigating the mysterious disappearance of his missing father, Kit Taylor finds an Adveck Deck and becomes Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, joining forces with Len, Kamen Rider Wing Knight to defeat the ten corrupt yet midguided Riders sent to attack them by Xaviax. They fight not only to save Earth from being destroyed by Xaviax, but also to find Kit's missing father and take back the home they hold dear."

The Nikkes are interested in this, not only the change of story, but also new characters.

"So who is Kit Taylor?" Red Hood asks.

"Kit Taylor, Dragon Knight, he's a brave and fairly easygoing individual, being firm in his moral compass, even when faced with uncertainty. At the same time, like most teenagers his age, he can struggle with negative emotions, initially handling Kase's appearance in a poor manner. In such cases though, he will eventually learn from his mistakes, openly apologizing when needed."

"That really made him different to Shinji

"That really made him different to Shinji." Red Hood says.

"Yes. Though unlike Shinji, who was initially a complete novice at fighting, Kit proved himself to be a very skilled fighter since before gaining Dragon Knight's powers; combating several monsters while untransformed. However, whereas Shinji gradually grew capable of facing any threat he encountered, Kit did not show the same level of growth as a Kamen Rider, failing to defeat foes such as Kamen Rider Strike in single combat. But one thing stay the same, both Shinji and Kit refused to kill humans."

"...So... who's Kamen Rider Strike?" Anis asks.

"Ah- right, the Riders in Dragon Knight got name changes. Strike is Ouja."

"What about this... Ventara?" Lilith asks.

"Ventara is a mirror double of Earth, accessed by those with Advent Decks through any reflective surface, and every person living on Earth has a mirror double in Ventara, though with different names and personalities. Ventara is invisible to any person from Earth, and presumably vice-versa, who has never crossed the Mirror Plane dividing the two worlds. Upon entering or passing the barrier, someone can easily see the activities of the other world in reflections, but cannot speak or pass through to it. Cameras can't naturally see into Ventara, but no camera that passed between worlds was ever used, so it isn't known if technology can gain the ability as well."

"What about Len?" Smol White asks.

"Len, compared to Ren Akiyama, is shown to be more noble in nature, though occasionally prone to acts of hostility. Not wishing for others to be involved with Ventara's problem, he attempted to stop Kit from becoming Kamen Rider Dragon Knight, failing due to his poor communication skills. Still concerned for Kit's well-being, he decided to train him to face the monsters attacking humanity, acting as a sort-of mentor for Kit. He was chosen to be a Kamen Rider at a young age due to his excellent physical condition and considered it an honor to fight for Ventara. Though that technically make him a child soldier in a way but I can't really interfere with that."
