Chapter 1: Continuing the adventure
A/N: Hey people! How ya doing? Good? Hope so. Anyway, here's the first chapter of Riders of Equestria: The Nightmare strikes. Hope you will enjoy this story and be patient because this is the first time I'm writing two stories at the same time. I will try to focus on this story as well so don't get mad if the chapters aren't uploaded on time. In this chapter, the riders get a brief understanding of the Nightmare after it summons monsters that terrorizes Canterlot. I do not own Kamen rider or My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic but I own Tendou's/Flare's Native form, the riders's new names, Haruto's/Spells's new rings and everything else that you do not know in this story. Reminder: This story took placed when Luna became Nightmare Moon. Flare and Celestia are now mates including Luna and Shade, Blaze and Philomena. This also took place a few weeks after the events of The End of Dai Shocker.
"Celestia, it's time to wake up." whispered Flare as he gently nuzzled Celestia. Celestia yawned softly as she slowly got up and said,"Good morning, Flare." Flare replied,"It's not morning until you raise the sun." Celestia giggled and asked,"Are you always this bossy?" Flare kissed her and said,"Only when I have to."
Blaze and Philomena woke up and quickly flew out of their cage and perched themselves on Flare's back as Celestia walked out of the room.
Once they were out on the balcony of the castle, Celestia spread her wings and flew up into the air with her horn glowing light gold and the sun began to rise.
Luna and Shade came into the clearing and landed on the balcony.
Flare smiled and asked,"How was night shift?" Shade looked up at Flare and said,"It was fine, bro."(A/N: If you still don't know, Shade is now Flare's brother since Shade is Luna's mate while Flare is Celestia's mate. So, they are brothers. But there won't be any children until I say so!) Flare patted Shade's back and said,"Get some rest, we'll call you when you're needed." Shade nodded before he entered the castle with Luna beside him.
Blaze chirped loudly and Flare asked,"What's wrong?" Blaze pointed at the village with his wing and the two Alicorns turned to look at it.
They gasped in surprise as they saw dark clouds surrounding the village.
Celestia exclaimed,"The Pegasi weren't supposed to make it rain today!" Flare frowned and said,"That's not the Pegasi's work. There's something about that cloud seems evil." Flare turned to Blaze and said,"Go and investigate. I'll be there shortly." Blaze nodded and three of his red Core medals came out of his chest and a voice was heard,"TAKA!" " "KUJAKU!" "CONDOR!" The three Core medals merged and it implanted itself onto his chest, causing Blaze to transform into his OOO Tajador form.
His head was turned into his Taka Head Brave while his shoulder pads were identical to wings, his chest had the Tajador symbol and his legs were his Condor legs with the Raptor Edges attached to the tip of his feet and the back of his feet.
As a pair of wings appeared on Blaze's back, he flew up into the air and headed for the village.
Celestia turned to Flare and asked,"Should Shade go as well? Flare shook his head and said,"He stayed up all night. He deserves some rest." Flare then turned into his Native form and attached the TheBee Brace on his left wrist. TheBee zector soon appeared and attached itself to the Brace,"HENSHIN!" multiple yellow hexagons appeared around Flare, cladding him in his TheBee Masked form.
Flare said,"We'll be back soon. See you till then, Celestia." Flare leaped off the balcony and dashed out of the castle and found the Kabuto Extender waiting outside. He got onto the bike and drove off towards the village.
Once Blaze reached the village, he saw a guard galloping towards him and asked,"What's going on here?" The guard stopped and replied,"Monsters...EVERYWHERE!" Blaze looked up and he got rammed by a White Yummy.
The guard continued to gallop away, leaving Blaze to fight off the Yummy.
As Blaze was about to deliver a punch, five more White Yummies emerged from out of nowhere and grabbed him. Blaze started struggling but with no luck as the Yummies had more strength than him.
Blaze was soon getting hit from left and right by the Yummies until the sound of a roaring engine was heard.
He turned around to see Flare in his TheBee Masked form on his Kabuto Extender. Flare drove the Kabuto Extender right into the Yummies, causing them to fall on their backs.
Flare got off the Kabuto Extender and helped Blaze up before asking,"You okay?" Blaze nodded and said,"This Yummies are the ones causing trouble." Flare turned to see the Yummies, who were still getting up, and said,"This still doesn't explain the dark cloud above us."
Quick as a flash, the dark cloud shot a lightning bolt in front of the Yummies and three Salis Worms appeared.(A/N: The Salis Worms are the ones that are the common green Worms that molt into other Worms.)
Flare then said,"That dark cloud is the one causing the destruction!"
The Salis Worms charged at Flare while the Yummies started to charge at Blaze.
Flare pulled the wings of TheBee zector up, causing electricity to flow throughout his body and the armor started to detach from his body. Turning the zector around, Flare exclaimed,"Cast Off!" The zector repeated,"CAST OFF!" The armor around Flare's body shot out and the pieces flew in every direction, knocking down the Yummies and the Worms. Flare was now clad in his TheBee rider form and the zector announced,"CHANGE WASP!"
The two riders got into their battle stances before they charge at the Yummies and Worms.
With Blaze,
Blaze knocked down two of the Yummies and leaped into the air before his wings appeared. He started to glide above the Yummies and he fired fireball with his Taja Spinner. As the Yummies fell down, Blaze took out his O Scanner and scanned his Taja Spinner,"GIN-GIN-GIN-GIGA SCAN!" The Cell medals in the Taja Spinner continued to spin as it created a projectile matching its rotating movement before Blaze shot the projectile at the Yummies while exclaiming,"SEE YA!" As the Projectile collided with the Yummies, one of them blew up while the others were knocked back.
Blaze absorbed the Cell medals that the exploded Yummy left behind and turned to look at the remaining five Yummies.
The Yummies slowly advanced towards him and Blaze removed the three Core medals from his OOO Driver and three more Core medals came out of his chest. He placed the three Core medals in his OOO Driver and scanned them,"LION!" "UNAGI!" "BATTA!" As the three holograms of the Core medals merged together, the image implanted itself onto Blaze's chest, causing his armor to change.
His Taka Head Brave was replaced by his Lion Head while his Kujaku arms were replaced by his Unagi arms with the Unagi Whips attached to the back of his shoulder and his Condor legs were replaced by his Batta legs.
His Lion Head began to heat up as the ground started to incinerate, causing two more Yummies to explode due to the intense heat Blaze was giving out.
After he absorbed the Cell medals, Blaze swung the Unagi Whips at the remaining Yummies and he had managed to tangle one of the Yummies. Blaze began to electrocute the whips and the electric current traveled through the whips and into the Yummy's body, causing it to explode into Cell medals and Blaze started to absorb the medals.
With only two Yummies left, Blaze took out his O Scanner and scanned his medals,"SCANNING CHARGE!"
Blaze leaped into the air and lashed the whips at both Yummies before he wrapped the whips around the two Yummies and flung them towards him. His Lion Head heated up once again as the heat traveled through his body and into his feet as he collided with the two Yummies, exclaiming,"SEE YA!"
As Cell medals began to pour down, Blaze absorbed all of them once they landed on the ground.
With Flare,
Flare kicked one of the Salis Worm while he slammed his fist into another Worm's face and he executed a Scissors Kick on the last Worm.
The three Worms were knocked back and two of them started to turn orange-red in color before they molted into Camponotus Worm Oculus and Camponotus Worm Maxilla.(A/N: The two Worms from Kabuto Hyper Battle.)
Flare groaned and said,"Not you two again."
The two molted Worms began to charge at Flare while the Salis Worm grabbed Flare's leg. Flare kicked the Salis Worm and said,"Rider Sting!" He pressed the button on TheBee zector and it repeated,"RIDER STING!" Wasting no time, Flare punched the Salis Worm with his left hand, causing the zector's stinger to pierce through the Worm's chest and destroying the Worm.
The two molted Worms gave Flare a Double Kick and he was sent crashing through the house behind him.
Flare got out of the house and said,"Clock Up!" He placed his hand on his right strap and pulled the Trace Switches on it, causing the belt to announce,"CLOCK UP!" The world was now as fast as a snail.
The Worms and Flare began jumping from roof to roof of the houses as they battled each other.
Flare Side Kick Oculus off the roof they were on and Maxilla rammed Flare off as well. The world then started to return to normal as Flare's belt announced,"CLOCK OVER!"
The two Worms then activated their Clock Up again and ran off away from the village as the dark cloud vanished.
Blaze walked over to Flare's side and asked,"Do you think we should head back?" Flare nodded and said,"That's a must." Flare got onto his Kabuto Extender and drove back to the castle with Blaze hopping every time he landed on the ground with his Batta legs.
As they returned to the castle, TheBee zector detached itself from the TheBee Brace and flew off while Blaze's Core medals popped out of the OOO Driver and re-entered his chest.
Celestia came out and asked,"What happened?" Flare replied,"That dark cloud was causing the trouble. It was able to reanimate Yummies and Worms that were long gone." Celestia frowned and said,"Then it must have learned a few abilities since it was discovered." Flare raised an eyebrow and asked,"What has learnt a few abilities?" Celestia sighed and said,"It looks like Luna and I have to explain this to you, Blaze, Shade and Spells."
Suddenly, Luna's voice was heard,"No need to explain it to Shade, sister."
Celestia turned to face Luna and Luna continued,"I have already told him about the Nightmare long ago." Celestia sighed and said,"Then only Flare and Blaze have yet to know about it."
The two sisters turned to face Blaze and Flare before Celestia said,"That dark cloud you just saw...that was called the Nightmare. A very dangerous creature in Equestria. It manipulates the mind of its victim and turned its victim into their dark self. But now, it seems that it is able to reanimate monsters that you fought before."
Not long, Castle Doran's gave a loud roar and Flare said,"Castle Doran is in trouble!"
Luna said,"I'll go get Shade. We'll meet you at castle Doran's location." Flare, Blaze and Celestia nodded before they teleported off.
Once they reached Castle Doran's location, Flare said,"You've got to be kidding me."
