Air Gear: A New Rider

You feel the hum of your Air Treks beneath you, the wheels spinning with raw energy as you coast down the dimly lit streets of Tokyo. The air is cool against your face, the city a blur of lights and shadows around you. You've been training for a long time, and now, you’re finally here.

The legendary Storm Riders have been tearing up the streets lately, rumors flying of a rider with no fear, a "Sky King" who seems unstoppable. You tighten your grip on the handles and speed up, your eyes set on one goal: Joining a team that could get you into the world of the true Road Kings.

As you round the corner of an alley, you spot a small crowd up ahead, clustered near a massive wall lined with graffiti—a Storm Rider meeting point. Your heart beats faster as you recognize a few of the faces: Itsuki 'Ikki' Minami, with that wild glint in his eye, his crew huddled close, Kazuma 'Kazu' Mikura, Onigiri, Akito/Agito Wanijima. They’ve taken notice of you too; whispers ripple through the crowd as they watch you approach.

"So, you’re the new rider everyone’s been talking about, huh?" Ikki grins, sizing you up. "Got guts showing up here alone." Beside him, Agito raises an eyebrow, his shark-like grin betraying both skepticism and interest. "You sure you can keep up, rookie?" He taunts, his voice low and challenging.

You smirk, unafraid, heart racing with excitement and then you nod before stepping away

Ikki chuckles, nodding approvingly. "Alright, then. We’re heading to a new spot tonight—a real challenge." He gestures to the dark, looming skyline. "Show us what you’ve got, and maybe… we’ll see if you belong here."

The crowd shifts as Ikki and his team take off, weaving expertly through the streets. You kick off, launching yourself after them, feeling the adrenaline surge as you glide. This is it—the start of your own Air Trek journey, the wind and the open sky calling your name. For now, race like life depends on it and beat Kogarasumaru.
