This is another idea I had from way back, that I even implented bits of, in an LBT fanfic that is no longer on Fanfiction.net. I decided to flesh it out more, and try it out here. I also wanted to try something that was action packed, but not as overly gruesome as Chronicles of The Balaur, because I realize that seems to turn off some of the LBT fanfic readers out there.
The following is inspired largely by a Japanese series called Kamen Rider Black. Look it up on Youtube some time, and you'll see why I picked who I picked to be the hero. The design of Black's costume just seems to match up with this character in some odd way.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy what I have up, and what I hope to put up in the future.
**********************************************************************
The Earth is far older than one may think...
It's history stretches far beyond what humans can trace.
No one in today's world would know it, but there was once an age of beings that existed on Earth long before even the dinosaurs. They were known as the Golgomites, and they called the planet Golgom at that time.
The only reason they left no evidence of their existence, was that many years before the first dinosaur had walked the Earth, the Golgomites had been nearly wiped out by a civil war that had consumed the entire planet. It destroyed much of their environment, and made the planet uninhabitable for many years.
The war had been carried out by a Golgomite calling himself the Eon King. He wished to rule the planet with an Iron fist, but met with resistance all across the planet. Once he gained the control he so desired, and saw the surface world in ruins, he gathered what remained of his followers, and retreated into the underground world.
From there, he used his power to ignite the earth's core, and cleanse the surface world with volcanic activity all around. He then decreed that no Golgomite would go to the surface until he reached his 1000th year of life, died, and was succeeded.
Years passed, and when the new Eon King was crowned, the Golgomites went to the surface to see what had become of their world...they were shocked to find that it had now been taken over by the giant creatures, the dinosaurs. It was no longer a world for their kind.
The new Eon King realized that cleansing the Earth again was no longer an option...his people had been slowly dying out in the underground world, and without their life forces to sustain him, he knew his own life would be much, much shorter than that of his predecessor.
They needed blood...fresh blood from the world above, he decided, to finally give the Golgomites a chance to reclaim what was once theirs. It was radical thinking for a Golgomite, but he believed the circumstances called for it.
All he needed to do was find test subjects...two of them...
*********************************************************************
Episode 1: The Change
Night had fallen on the world above, as one of the descendants of the original Golgomites walked down the dark, forbidding hall of a dark mountain, inside of which the faithful followers of the Eon King had built their base of operations, waiting for one faithful day...
a day that they had finally reached.
The cloaked, hooded figure of the humanoid creature walked slowly into what looked like a dark operating room, meeting two other hooded figures in front of him. One was a female, having the face and bill of a hadrosaur, only with dark red eyes, and black streaks along the sides of her white face.
The second figure was male, his dark blue face having a pointed nose, and short horns coming from his head, obviously related to a three-horn. He towered over the other female, who was still taller than the third figure.
The third creature seemed to resemble a longneck in his face, only his skin was all pale and crinkled, apparently showing the ravages of age, as he lurched in front of his two comrades, carrying two crystal orbs in his hands.
"Dai Shin Kan Baroumu..." He addressed the three-horn by his priest title, before calling the female by hers. "Dai Shin Kan Bishimu...The great Eon King has entrusted me with the two holy King Stones...are our sacrifices prepared?"
"All is ready for the ceremony, Dai Shin Kan Daroumu..." The female bowed as she spoke in her deep, smooth voice.
"It was only a matter of time before we found two subjects to the Eon King's liking..." Baroumu smiled. "One is older than the other, but he is still capable, I believe."
Daroumu nodded as he crept slowly into the room with the two lit operating tables...it was on these tables where the forms of Petrie, and his uncle Pterano, were restrained, looking as frightened as they were when they were first captured.
"Yes..." Daroumu walked over to the now-teen-aged flier first. "They both resemble our great King in his former state quite well..."
"Don't touch him!" Pterano yelled as he struggled against the restraints. "Don't touch him!"
"You shall be silent!" Baroumu growled as he held out his hand, and shot lightning bolts from a special device placed over all of his fingers. The bolts shocked Pterano, making him cry out in pain.
"Pterano!" Petrie yelled to his Uncle, before Baroumu stopped, leaving him to smoke and moan.
"Great Eon King!" Daroumu called up to the sky as he reached up with both of his hands, extending both the king stones over the two fliers...the red stone was over Petrie, while the green hovered Pterano.
"With your blessing, let us transfer the power of these stones into the bodies of these two creatures! Let them transcend their once meaningless lives as denizens of this ruined world, and live their lives anew as our Century Kings!"
He then held the red stone over Petrie as it began to glow..."Black Sun!"
He then quickly held the glowing green stone over Pterano. "Shadow Moon!"
With that, two great beams of energy shot into the bodies of the two fliers, making them tremble and convulse with their power. Petrie trembled and cried out in pain, as Pterano heard this, making himself cry out even more at his Nephew's suffering.
It was in that moment, that Pterano did something the priests would have never expected...with a sudden burst of strength, he was able to break his wings out of the restraints on his arms. Baroumu tried to subdue him with a lightning blast, before Pterano flew over and grabbed him by the arm.
This action threw Baroumu off guard, making his lightning bolts hit Petrie's table, just as Daroumu had finished with the energy transfer. A second later, the battery on the table died, causing all of Petrie's restraints to come apart.
"Run!" Pterano yelled to his nephew. "Run! Get out of here! Get help!"
Petrie quickly nodded, not wanting to leave his Uncle, but not wanting to stay behind either...as he flew off, Baroumu quickly threw Pterano off of him, and in a rage, nailed him with an even harsher blast of energy bolts, knocking him into unconsciousness.
Petrie breathed heavily in fear as he flew about the cavernous tunnels of the mountain, trying to find a way out. He searched and searched for light, but there was none to be found.
It was then that he heard a loud pulsing noise in his direction. He turned to see a rather startling contraption in one of the several caverns. It stood on two wheels, with a green and black color scheme, along with two red eyes that glowed through the darkness.
The machine made the pulsing noise again as Petrie flew towards it. Petrie was afraid it would attack, but it didn't seem interested in doing so...it was designed to interact with whomever possessed a king stone, which, unknown to Petrie, was now inside of his body.
It turned its head to a passage, and nodded to it with its handlebars, making a revving noise now. Petrie swallowed, as he climbed aboard the sentient bike slowly, and held on for dear life...
The Bike then revved again, and zoomed quickly through the caverns, eventually taking Petrie out into the open land again.
"What a way to spend my hatchday..." Petrie thought to himself as he held tightly to the bike. Indeed, Petrie had agreed to Pterano's idea of flying him out to some special sections of the Mysterious Beyond that he knew of, as a special gift to his Nephew.
Only something happened along the way back home...a huge cluster of swarming leaf-gobblers attacked them, aggressively zooming around them and interrupting their flight...almost as if they were being controlled. It was then that the three priests emerged and grabbed them.
But now he was safe...only Pterano still wasn't, he realized. He thought to himself as he rode along to safety, trying to think of a way to save him.
Before he could plan something, however, something suddenly made the bike waver and fall over, crashing as it threw him off. He tumbled and looked up to see the priests hovering above the ground, looking down at him. Daroumu had just used his powers of telekinesis to through the bike off of its track.
He then shot out his hand again as Petrie tried to fly away, making a guttural "chhhhhhwoooooo!" noise as he did it, pulling the young flier towards the priests with his energy.
"It's no use running, boy..." Daroumu growled. "The transfer of power is finished. You are one of us."
"No!" Petrie yelled as he struggled in midair.
"It's too late to protest..." Bishimu smiled. "Your body is no longer that of a normal dinosaur."
"Allow me to demonstrate..." Daroumu grinned. He Then pushed out with his right hand, using his telekinesis to fling Petrie into a large tree. He slammed Petrie into the bark again and again, before throwing him down into a big pile of rocks, making them shatter.
Petrie grunted and struggled to pull himself out of the rubble, hurt, but alive...
"You see, boy..." Baroumu spoke now. "The power and protection of the king stone flows through your body. Why try to run from us, and return to those who would only reject you as you are now, when you could join us, and cleanse this world once and for all?"
"I won't do it..." Petrie shook his head as he struggled back to his feet. "I won't do it..."
Daroumu shook his head slowly. "You still need more persuasion I see..." He then pulled back and pushed with his hand, sending a powerful blast of telekinetic energy, making Petrie fly through the sky as he yelled and hurtled down towards a cave.
The three priests then floated after him, as they heard the sound of him crashing into the cave, and the dust rising from the opening soon after. They all landed near this same opening, preparing to go in after him.
"Wait..." Daroumu suddenly spoke as he put his hand out towards the other two. "I sense something...
The impact of the last throw had knocked Petrie half-unconscious...and in that state, he had somehow activated his king stone, and was now transforming.
The priests looked over and saw a figure rising to his feet in the darkness, walking slowly to the opening of the cave with each gentle step. At the moment the figure had emerged, he had achieved his full transformed state.
Petrie was now in the form of a tall creature dressed in black armor. His slim, almost spindly figure concealed great power and agility, as his red eyes glowed on his black helmet, complete with metal antennae, and an insect-like mouthpiece. Red and yellow power stripes ran around his wrists and ankles, as well as up and over the top of his helmet. His red king stone was visible as well, on his waist in a metallic device.
"Ah...Black Sun!" Baroumu proclaimed as he confirmed the creature's appearance.
Petrie just stared at the three in his new form, his body temperature rising as steam rose out of open spaces in his armor, showing off bits of his new muscles.
"Be Careful..." Daroumu warned as he walked towards Petrie. "His memory hasn't been wiped yet...there's no telling what he could-"
Before he could finish his sentence, Petrie suddenly jumped, and kicked Daroumu right in the chest on his way back down. Baroumu quickly tried to hit him with more lightning bolts, but Petrie was too fast now. He quickly rolled to avoid the blast, before picking up a rock and throwing it at Baroumu.
Baroumu had shot more bolts out as this happened. They hit the rock instead, as it crashed into him, shocking him greatly.
Bishimu then sprung into action, as she turned her head to Petrie, and shot great beams of concussive energy from her red eyes. These beams hit Petrie in his midsection, and made him grunt in pain as he fell to his back.
She then floated over to grab him, before he quickly recovered and flipped up back onto his feet. His king stone began to glow with increasing power, as he punched and kicked at the priestess, who dodged each of these moves.
She fired another beam from her eyes at him, as he rolled out of the way, and they smashed into more rocks instead. He then jumped and flew down to her, catching her in the face with a hard right fist. She could sense the power rising in his form as she backed away from him.
Before he could pursue her, though, he suddenly felt something tighten around his neck. Daroumu had now recovered from the surprise blow, and caught him in the grasp of his telekinesis once more, growling as he had his right hand extended in a crushing fist.
"Like it or not..." Daroumu grunted. "Like it or not, you're coming back to your new home boy...so make it easy on yourself...don't make me choke the life out of your frail body..."
Petrie grunted, and thought of something...it was a new impulse, that was a part of his new self. He looked to the right as his eyes suddenly started flashing.
"Battle Hopper!" He finally yelled through his choking.
The priests then heard the engine of the bike that he Petrie had found revving up in the distance. It zipped past them faster than they expected, and made a head-on collision with Daroumu, making him release Petrie.
Daroumu growled in pain as he backed off, watching as Petrie quickly hopped onto the bike, revved it up himself through the handlebar, and zipped off into the night at an incredible speed.
"Damn it all!" Baroumu clenched his fists in anger.
"He's gaining power faster than we expected..." Bishimu observed, her face now slightly bruised.
"We must correct this mistake as soon as possible..." Daroumu frowned. "Or else the Eon King may see to our execution..."
"Let's find him, then!" Baroumu began to float away from the other two.
"No!" Daroumu shook his head. "He's become too strong for us simple priests to apprehend...we must return to base, and seek assistance from one of our Warriors."
"We must also check on the condition of our Shadow Moon..." Bishimu added.
******************************************************************
Petrie had now changed back into his original self as he stumbled off of Battle Hopper. The first transformation had taken its toll on him, as he fell to his knees, attempting to remember what had just happened.
He remembered he was abducted, along with his uncle...he had been inside a mountain...but where? Where was this mountain. That was the one thing he had trouble remembering. He didn't know the area as well as Pterano did.
Then he remembered the rest...transforming, and fighting off the evil priests. He knew they still had his Uncle now, and he shuddered at the thought of what those three could be doing to him now.
"Don't worry, Uncle..." Petrie looked off into the sky as he thought to himself. "I'll find a way out of all this..." He looked at the hands on his wings. "I don't what it is they gave to me...but I'll learn to use it...and soon...soon, I'm gonna get you out of there, once I find you."
He then walked to Battle Hopper, and got back onto the machine.
"Uhhh...Do you know the way back to the Great Valley?" he asked the bike.
Battle hopper beeped a few times, turned its head to the direction of the valley, and revved its engine once more.
"Great!" Petrie smiled. "Let's go back there first...I don't wanna leave Pterano behind, but I don't want Mom to worry about me either..."
Battle Hopper then beeped in response, as it then go itself moving again, and Drove off with Petrie on top.
