(What you are going to read is quite clumsy and long. But still I hope you can talk some time and read it because it's gonna be fun. At least to me.)

So, if you have read my journal, here it is, the big crazy idea I was talking about.
If you are a big DC & Kamen Rider fan, I guess you already know what is this and what I am trying to do. But still.

[Following contains SPOILERS for KR Drive, Ghost and CW's The Flash and The Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox animated movie. You are warned.]

So, few weeks ago I watched the Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Ghost & Drive: Super Movie War Genesis, this year's installment of the annual "Movie War series". During the events of this (kinda lame-ish) movie, our protagonists Takeru and Shinnosuke are sucked into a time portal and they went back to 2005. Aww good old times. But it's not so good for the heroes. Not only they have to fight the Da Vinci Ganma, Takeru also wants to save his father, Ryu who died in 2005. Of course they failed. But what bugs me is that not only Takeru, but even Shinnosuke was all aboard on the "dad saving" plan.
Don't you guys know that changing events in the past would bring a mess to the timeline??

Wait. This seems so familiar...

Then around 1 week later watched the season finale of CW's The Flash S2, where in the end,
[MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!!!]
[MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!!!]
[MAJOR SPOILER WARNING!!!]
Barry, aka The Flash ran back in time to when his mother was killed by the Reverse Flash, and actually saving her this time! Clearly this made everybody went nuts and yell FLASHPOINT!! FLASHPOINT!! for Season 3.

But as a fan of both The Flash and Kamen Rider, what makes me keep thinking is that, Takeru was trying to save his dad in the past, and Barry was saving his mum in the past which will possibly cause the Flashpoint storyline, one of the most iconic story in Flash's comic history. Then what if Takeru actually saved his dad, would it change the whole universe just like how Flashpoint did? I started to develop for a Flashpoint-style Kamen Rider story.

Of course you can tell that I didn't choose Takeru/Ghost as the main character for my imaginary story. Instead I chose Shinnosuke/Drive due his abilities being more similar to that of Flash's, including the obvious fast movement, but time travel too. (Yea. I will explain that no worries.) Also Shinnosuke's father was killed too, so that works.

So in the following I will talk about the details and stories of some of the characters who are fit for the story and their similarities with DC's original characters.

Flash = Shinnosuke Tomari / Kamen Rider Drive. In the near future, Mr. Belt was released from that basement of Drive Pit again, because Shinnosuke and everybody finally believes that Drive System's technology is safe in human hands now( w/e it's not important.) Then they started upgrading the Drive System, eventually adding the ability to create a "Time Road" with Tridoron. Noted this ain't all made up by me. In Surprise Future's preceeding miniseries (placed after Drive E38-41), it is seen that Shinnosuke's son, Eiji (no matter he's real or not) used a Time Road to travel through time. It is very possible that he created the Time Road with the Drive System. So the Time Road should be invented in the (near) future.
So back on the topic, after the System was upgraded and Time Road was installed into Tridoron, Shinnosuke had an idea and decided to travel back in time to save his father, Eisuke Tomari from being murdered. So he used Tridoron to open a Time Road and drove through it, going back to when Eisuke was killed, and stopped Nira from shooting him. He then travel back to the current time, believing that his father would live on and the world will be the same.
Then he realized the world isn't the same as before. The Roidmudes aren't exterminated, the fight between them and humans spread into a larger scale, developing into wars. Banno is still alive, Kiriko is married to someone else, the Special Investigation Unit does not exist, and worst of all, Shinnosuke cannot henshin into KR Drive. As he is just a normal policeman in this timeline, what he experienced was different and this makes his body no longer compatible to the Drive System, thus he cannot transform into Drive (just like how Kiriko failed before). Then He remembered Takeru who once traveled through time with him before. So he went to the Daitenku Temple to seek for help.

Batman = Ryu Tenkuji / Kamen Rider Ghost. In this alternate timeline, Ryu was not killed by the Da Vinci Ganma, instead the young Takeru was killed. Because of this, Ryu remained as a Ghost Hunter and fights Ganmas. Because his power is not enough to deal with the Ganmas, he made a deal with the mysterious Senin to exchange his life to gain the ability to henshin into Kamen Rider Ghost.
(His Ore Damashii form looks like Toucon Boost Damashii already, with the reds and blacks swapped. Well the original Toucon Boost was already given by Ryu, so yeah.)
After a fight with the Ganma, Ryu returned to the temple finding Shinnosuke in the basement. Ryu attacks Shinnosuke, believing that he comes to steal the power of Heroic Damashii. After Shinnosuke explaining about the fact that he changed the timeline, Ryu believed him and stop attacking him. (Well he is a Ghost Hunter, so he has seen quite a lot of impossibles. Time travelling isn't that big of a shock, right?) With Ryu's (brutal?) help, Shinnosuke regained physical strength and thus he's able to henshin again.
(Note: Yea Ryu's KR Ghost has access to Heroic Eyecons too. But I guess something different like Galileo would be cooler.)

Wonder Woman & Aquaman = Go Shijima / Kamen Rider Mach & Chase / Kamen Rider Chaser. As the Special Investigation Unit does not exist, the role of combating Roidmude invasion goes to a self-hired task force team, led my Go Shijima. The team members all have the ability to henshin into the production model of Kamen Rider Mach (aka Jun's suit)., while for Go, well he IS Mach. As for Chase, he is the leader of the Roidmudes instead of Heart in this timeline. Originally Go and Chase maintain good terms and relationships which made the Roidmudes to stop the invasion and live peacefully with the humans. But then in one day Medic, who disagrees the alliance attacked Go but failed. Instead she was killed by Go as Mach. This let to the war between Go's team and Roidmudes, with Chase already conquering the southern half of Japan, while Go sets his base in the northern part.

Black Manta & Orm = Heart & Brain. They are both assistants of Chase.

Cyborg = Gentaro Kisaragi / Kamen Rider Fourze. Gentaro is a high school graduate recited by the Japan Government to help stop the war between Go and Chase. He was sent to gather a group of Riders and heroes, and ultimately he gained Ryu (Ghost)'s help.

Superman = Kouta Kazuraba / Kamen Rider Gaim. After meeting Ryu, Shinnosuke thought of seeking Kouta aka the Space God for help to stop the war. However, it turns out that in this timeline, Kouta doesn't have access to his powers. After obtaining the Kiwami Lockseed, Kouta was captured by The Yggdrasill Corporation to initiate a project that creates weapons with Kouta's Overlord power. He was put in a cell in Yggdrasill Tower but soon he was rescued by Shinnosuke, Ryu and Gentaro. During the outbreak, Kouta lose control of his power and kills a few of Yggdrasill's troopers. Being fear of his powers, Kouta refuse to help and ran away.

Lex Luthor & Deathstroke = Takatora Kureshima / Kamen Rider Zangetsu & Alain / Kamen Rider Necrom. These two worked together to locate Chase's base of operation. However, their plan failed and both are killed by Chase.

Citizen Cold = Katsumi Daido / Kamen Rider Eternal. Despite him being a villain in the original timeline, here he is a local anti-hero who protects Futo.

Hal Jordan & Abin Sur = Shotaro Hidari & Sokichi Narumi / Kamen Rider Skull. In this timeline, Shotaro isn't a Kamen Rider. His mentor, Sokichi remains as Skull. Despite this, Shotaro was still recruited into Genatro's team for his detective abilities.

S.H.A.Z.A.M. = Kamen Rider Den-O (Climax Form). Den-O is a Kamen Rider that requires Ryotaro Nogami and the 4 "Taros" to combine their powers and henshin together. These 5 are also recruited by Gentaro.

Captain Atom = Tsukasa Kadoya / Kamen Rider Decade. He is captured by Chase's forces and was used to destroy the world.

And I almost forgot...

Reverse Flash = Tenjuro Banno / Kamen Rider Gold Drive. He is the big bad and the mad enemy to Shinnosuke. Due to the change in the timeline, Banno still exists and it was up to Shinnosuke to take him down once again. Banno retained memories from the original timeline due to his connection with the Drive System and he mocks Shinnosuke for changing the timeline, bringing this catastrophe to the world. Due to his ability of stealing Drive's weapon and data, Shinnosuke cannot activate the Time Road again, thus he must take Banno down. At the end, well, I guess Ryu should F**KING STAB THROUGH HIS CHEST WITH THE SUNGLESSESLASHER! That would be awesome enough.

So that's all I have thought about. I know it's just a lot (due to my clumsy writing) but I hope this gets you interested.

As for [ANYONE INTERESTED?] part, here's the thing: I am actually wanting to write a full story for this. But as I am not super familiar with the DC comics (I only watched the Flashpoint Paradox animated movie for like... once, and haven;t read any of the original comics) plus my horrible story-writing skills, I am seeing if someone is also interested to work on this together, or maybe I can turn it into a crowd-sourced project. (No I have no idea how to do that actually.)

So this is it. I want to make a novel-like story of "DRIVEPOINT" but I can't do it myself, so I am looking for someone who's more experienced.
Or even if you are not interested to write it, you can also leave some suggestions or ideas or thoughts or jokes or etc on this and maybe I can work on it better with more stuffs.

Thanks for reading this long-ass paragraph though.

PS: I know the poster isn't the best Photoshop art you've seen. In fact it's quite sketchy. I know that. But it's the first time I worked on something complicated like this. So just in case, just maybe you are interested, here's a timelapse video of me creating it: CLICK ME
