Author's Note: And I'm back with another chapter, if you guys are wondering why Shining Armor was acting like a jerk, it was because that in the original Kamen Rider/MLP: Battle for Equestria written by BladeSpark along with co-authors BronyRanger and Friends of Bronies in FimFiction wanted to give Shining Armor character development because they though his character will be overshadowed by Princess Cadence in the following series.
But sadly he's still going to be an annoyance in this chapter, for now only as his character will develop in the near end. Also were going to get a sneak peek on the Arayan guys testing out their new magical items that will be useful in the battle latter on.
Disclaimer: I don't own Ed Edd n Eddy, My Little Pony, Kamen Rider and an extension to Total Drama.
The scene changes back into the throne room of the Crystal Empire, we can see Princess Cadence sitting on her throne with a worry face while the Arayan pony visitors are either sitting on couches to wait while Eddy was walking in a circle around the room.
"Why do I feel like we are missing some action pact fighting right now?" Eddy said in mix of worry and anticipation.
"I don't know about you Eddy, but I still can't help to feel that the Changeling Queen might have an advantage that the Princesses are not aware of." Prince Eddward said with concern.
"Well whatever Chrysalis had in plan, I just hoped that Twilight and her new allies could handle it. Speaking of new allies, I wondered what they are or what they look like." Princess Cadence said in curiosity.
Prince Eddward shrugs "Guess we'll never know." He said as he looks around the room and noticed something off "Hey, where are Duncan and Taro? I could have sworn that there were here a few minutes ago."
"That is peculiar my royal Prince, Rolf was certain that the once delinquent Duncan and the Taro-boy were present in the room along will all of us." Rolf said with confusion.
Unnoticed to them, Duncan and Taro are still in the room along with them, but their bodies are apparently transparent like as they are giggling.
"Yo Duncan! These phantom cloaks work after all. Not only we can't be seen, but we're also can't be touch or heard by anyone." Taro said with excitement.
Duncan nodded "Yeah, that's why they're called phantom cloaks! The only ones who could hear, see and feel our presence are either ghost or another pony wearing a phantom robe like us!" He points out.
"Is that so huh guys?" A voice said which shocked the two before they turned to where the voice belong to, revealing Eddy who is also wearing a phantom cloak.
"I have a sneaky suspicion that you guys would pull something like this behind our backs." Eddy said with a smirk.
Duncan and Taro looks at Eddy with nervousness "H-Hey Eddy…Were-were just testing out these magical artifacts to see whether if they worked properly or not." Duncan said in defense.
Taro nodded "Yeah, just in case if those alien monsters decided to attack here." He added.
Eddy looks at the two with a smile "Well it looks like the phantom cloaks works perfectly fine. I think you guys have enough fun." He decided.
The two sighs in sadness before they take of the cloaks along with Eddy before they reappear physically back to the room. The beanie hat prince along with Ed, Rolf and Princess Cadence saw the three returning.
"There you guys are! Where have the two of you been?" Prince Eddward said.
Eddy smirked "They just testing out our new magical artifacts just to make sure they're worked properly." He explains.
"Well it's good to know that you guys aren't just messing around." The maniac prince said.
Duncan and Taro chuckles "Well, maybe we haven't messing around yet." Duncan stated which cause everyone in the room to roll their eyes.

The scene then changes back to the deck of the XII ship as the Kamen Riders charged at the kaijin attackers.
"Amazing," Twilight said with amazement as she and the Princesses watched the Riders battle.
Wizard had turned his WizarSwordGun into its sword mode and was slashing Kaijin left and right. OOO claws have folded from his forearm and giving claw slashes on the kaijins.
W was fighting barehanded against the Kaijins. As his fists and kicks connected, a burst of green energy wind would be produced, adding more damage to his attacks.
Fourze then press a switch on a blue Astroswitche on his belt.
LAUNCHER~ON!
Fourze's belt rang out as a large blue machinery containing five rocket launchers appeared on his right leg and fired rockets at the Kaijin. Unfortunately, the rockets were flying randomly, one of them exploding just a few feet away from Gaim as he was tossed back by the explosion.
"Oops!" Fourze said shock as he uses his rocket pack to fly towards Gaim and caught him in time. Fourze then place Gaim back on the ground safely as Gaim slightly stumbled.
"Watch it with those things man! You nearly blew me up," Gaim scolded.
Fourze rubbed the side of his helmet in embarrassment "Sorry man. I forgot I need to use Radar with this thing," Fourze said as he activated a black Astroswitch on his belt.
RADAR ~ ON!
On Fourze's left arm appeared a black and white disc like object resembling a satellite dish called a Radar Module. He points it at the Kaijin and after a few seconds, the device was locked onto them.
"Take this!" Fourze yelled as he once again fired rockets at the Kaijin, this time it was hitting his marks perfectly.
"HaHa! Now that's more like it," Gaim credited as he used his Daidaimaru attached Musou Saber Naginata and slashed a few of the Kaijins. As the Riders attacks are effective on the monsters which can be indicated by sparks flying off their bodies.
"This is incredible. They fight with such skill and strength. I haven't seen fighting like this for a very long time" Princess Celestia remarked.
Princess Luna nodded "We agree Sister. They are truly fierce warriors. They fight these monsters as if they were nothing." she said.
Shining Armor gritted his teeth and charged forward, causing Twilight to gasp "Shiny! What are you doing!?" Twilight yelled in shocked.
"This is my ship, and I'm gonna protect it and you!" Shining Armor yelled as he fired blasts of magic at the Kaijin. The Kaijin noticed the new enemy and began charging toward Shining Armor. Before they could reach him however, they all stopped as sparks exploded off their chests, Shining looked to see that Wizard had fired at them with his WizardswordGun.
"Captain, please let us handle this." Wizard said as he fired a few more shots at the Kaijin.
"Back off! I'm not gonna let you Riders upstage me on my own ship, and especially not in front of my sister," Shining stated as he blasted one of the kaijins with his magic, knocking it off of the ship.
Wizard sighed "Don't blame on us if you get hurt." Wizard said as he fire at a Kaijin trying to sneak up on him.
As the Kamen Riders fought, they saw that more Kaijins were coming toward the ship from the skies.
"Guys! Were goanna had to change tactics here." OOO said as he replaced the Tiger and Grasshopper medals on his belt with two red Core Medals, one with an image of a peacock and the other was an image of a condor. Eiji pulled the OOO Scanner from his belt and scanned the Medals.
TAKA! (Translate: Hawk)
KUJAKU!(Translate: Peacock)
CONDOR!
The spinning holographic medals appear again, this time a three row image of red Core Medals are aligned before immerging into one image and places itself on OOO's chest again.
TA~JA~DOL~!
Red energy flames spreads around him as his Rider armor is now changed. His armor is now entirely red, with red armored legs with one yellow horn on the front and two longer horns on the heel of the shoes. His shoulders have three red wing shaped shoulder pads, his forearm is now wing shaped. His helmet have a much fiercer appearance as it look more hawk like shape with a yellow beak on his forehead and red eyes, covered by a red visor. His circular chest armor now has an image of a red phoenix and on his left arm is a red circle disc like shield called the Taja Spinner, OOO is now in his Tajadol Combo.
OOO struck a quick pose before a pair of red feathered wings sprouted from his back and he flew towards the enemy in the sky. Wizard and Fourze looked at each other before nodding.
"Can't let him have all the fun." Wizard said as he replaced the ruby Flame Style ring on his left hand with a green emerald Wizard Ring.
"Right!" Fourze said as he removed the Rocket Switch on his belt and replaced it with the larger Rocket Switch.
Wizard switch his belt to the left side and placed his hand over the belt.
HURRICANE, PLEASE! FU~FU! FU~FU~FU~FU!
(Translate: Hurricane, Please! Wind~Wind! Wind~Wind~Wind~Wind!)
A green windy magic circle appears above Wizards head as he jump up high into it, as he passes through the magic circle, his armor is now green triangular cut emeralds, meaning he is now in his Hurricane Style Form.
ROCKET SUPER!
Fourze inserts his new Astroswitch on the right side of the belt before pressing it.
ROCKET~ON!
Fourze's suit is now entirely orange except for his forelegs which stays the same and blue eyes and two large orange rockets appearing on his hands, this is his Rocket States.
"LET'S GO!" Fourze yelled as the two rockets on his arms ignited and he flew into the air. Wizard nodded as he followed suit as an emerald wind propelling him up and towards the Kaijins.
In the air, OOO, Fourze, and Wizard engaged the Kaijins in an aerial combat.
OOO fired fire balls at the Kaijin using his Taja Spinner weapon, his legs then turned into large condor like talons to rip the Kaijin apart. With his speed and raw power, OOO was making quick work of the Kaijin.
Fourze was flying swiftly at the Kaijin. Fourze didn't so much fight the Kaijin, instead he rams into them with his the two rockets on his hand and the sheer force of the impact was enough to destroy many of them.
Wizard appears to be performing some sort of aerial ballet. In his hand he held his WizarSwordGun in its sword mode, slashing and hacking away at the Kaijin as he flipped and spun through the air.
Back on the deck of the ship, W and Gaim were making quick work of the rest of the Kaijins. However, they were hindered by the inclusion of Shining Armor. The unicorn was certainly holding his own against the Kaijin, but the Riders could see he was tiring and they were also concern to use their full strength for fear of harming him.
Gaim and W stood back to back "We need to finish this quick. Wanna give us a hand newbie?" W asked and Gaim respond with a nod as he pulls out a Lockseed with a strawberry on it and W produced a yellow Gaia Memory with a crescent moon on it. They removed their respective transformation items from their belts and replaced them with the new ones.
LUNA!
He then removes the Cyclone Memory from his Driver and inserts the new yellow Memory into it and opens it up again.
LUNA!JOKER!
Double's right half is now yellow and suddenly his right arm stretch to incredible length as he uses it as a whip to swatted the kaijins away, he did the same with his right leg as he does a kick which cause his right leg to extend and swatted more of the monsters.
ICHIGO!
(Translate: Strawberry)
Gaim's armor dissipated as he removed his Orange Lockseed and replaced it with the strawberry Lockseed. Above Gaim the zipper portal reopens revealing a strawberry armor floating above him. Gaim placed the lock into the belt and locked it into place.
LOCK ON!
The belt rang out as he grabbed the knife attachment and cut opens the Lockseed.
SOIYA!
It called out as the armor then dropped onto Gaim's shoulders and begins to fold itself.
ICHIGO ARMS! SHUSHUTTO SPARK!
(Translate: Strawberry Arms! Swooshing Spark!)
When the armor had fully formed, Gaim's armor now had a more streamlined Strawberry themed armor with his right shoulder shaped of a bottom of a strawberry and his left shoulder is a shape of a top Strawberry, he also had two strawberry themed throwing knives in his hands, which he throws at the Kaijin army.
W decided to kick things up a notch as he removes the black Joker Memory from his Driver and pulls out a blue Gaia Memory with an image of a gun resembling a letter T on it.
TRIGGER!
The Gaia Memory called out as he inserts it where the Joker Gaia Memory was.
LUNA! TRIGGER!
W left side then turns blue as a blue gun like weapon appears on his left chest called the Trigger Magnum, he then removes the Magnum from his chest and fires several yellow energy blast at the Kaijins.
As the battle began to wind down, the Riders all decided it was time to end the fight. Unfortunately, Shining Armor was still in the way. As Kaijin charged at him, they were stopped by Gaim as he blasted them with the Musou Saber and threw his Ichigo Kunai. Gaim landed in front of Shining Armor.
"Out of my way Rider! I don't need your help!" Shining demanded. His words were invalidated however as he began to stumble, Gaim looked down a moment before he moved swiftly at Shining Armor.
"Sorry about this Captain." Gaim said as he then slams a frying pan on Shining head which immediately knock him out and lose consciousness.
Gaim then looked at the frying pan on his hand "What the!? Where did this frying pan come from!?" Gaim said in confusion, but shortly he shrugs it off for now "Oh well!" He said as he throws the frying pan away and quickly picks up Shining Armor's limp body "Catch!" he called out as he threw Shining Armor towards Twilight and the Princesses. Thankfully Twilight noticed it and caught her brother in her magic.
Gaim turned around and gave a thumbs up to W as W nodded and looked back to the Kaijin. "Time for the finisher." W said as he removed the Trigger Memory from his belt and placed it into the Trigger Magnum as the other Riders began to prepare for their respective final attacks.
TRIGGER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!
The Trigger Magnum called out as W flips the bottom of the magnum up, making the Magnum a lot larger as a shrill noise began to fill the air.
OOO then opens the lid of the Taja Spinner which reveals seven round circles as he tilt his Driver straight before removing all three of his Red Core Medals and place it into the circles on his Taja Spinner before he closes the lid of the weapon. OOO's then grabs the OOO scanner from his belt and place it right in front of the Taja Spinner as it emits a clanging scanning noise as he swifts the Scanner through the weapon.
TAKA!
KUJAKU!
CONDOR!
GIN-GIN-GIN! GIGA SCAN!
The Taja Spinner ran out as OOO's body completely engulfed by immense fire as the fire then forms into an enormous phoenix like bird as he flies up high.
Fourze willed his right arm away from the rocket so he could pull the black lever on his belt.
ROCKET! LIMIT BREAK!
As his belt rang out, Fourze turns his right arm back into a rocket before he began to spins quickly in the air.
Wizard then opens the black palm on his WizarSwordGun as it emits another repeating jingle.
COME ON A SLASH, SHAKE HANDS! ~ COME ON A SLASH, SHAKE HANDS!
Wizard then places his left hand on the black palm on the WizarSwordGun to scan his Hurricane Wizard Ring.
HURRICANE, SLASH STRIKE! FUU~FUU~FUU! FUU~FUU~FUU!
Wizard's sword rang out as he stood in a ready stance in front of the kaijins.
Gaim removes the Ichigo Lockseed from his Driver before placing it on his Muso Saber and lock it in place.
LOCK ON! 1, 10, 100! ICHIGO CHARGE!
The Musou Saber rang out as Gaim ran his finger along the blade, readying himself for his final attack.
Then as if the Kamen Riders had it planned, they each initiated their final attack.
"Trigger Full Burst!" W announce as he shot several giant yellow homing energy blast at the kaijins.
"AAAHHH! Seiya!" OOO roars as the phoenix energy aura screeches like a real phoenix as he changed at the kaijins. The fiery infernal of the phoenix aura around OOO body was more than enough to incinerate the kaijins as he fly pass them.
"Rider Tailspin Crusher!" Fourze yells as he spun rapidly into a giant fiery orange spiral like drill towards the kaijins.
"Finale!" Wizard added as a green swirling wind formed around his sword. Wizard swung his sword, sending a giant green whirlwind slash at the Kaijin.
"Seiha!" Gaim finishes as he slashed his sword into the air, creating a giant holographic throwing knife before it scatters into a numerous of strawberry throwing knives which rains down at the remaining kaijins.
Numerous explosions rocked the ship as the Rider's final attacks are connected; destroying all of the kaijins in an instant as the three Princesses embrace themselves. When the smoke finally cleared, they saw that all the Riders were back on the deck of the ship. Their backs were turned to them.
Then the Kamen Riders all turned around like bad asses as they stood in a line.
"Are you all okay?" Gaim asked. The three Princess simply and slowly nodded as the Riders sighed in relief and fatigue.
"That was...that was..." Twilight shutters as she tries to say.
"THAT WAS AWESOME!" another voice called out as Spike suddenly appeared between Twilight and the Princesses and ran up to the Riders and began goes into a complete fanboy mode as he was gushing over them.
Spike's outburst snapped Twilight out of her awed daze and she immediately gained an annoyed look.
"Spike! What are you doing here? I thought I told you to stay in Ponyville where it's safe," Twilight called out in anger.
Spike stopped gushing over the Riders for a moment and walked over to Twilight "I'm sorry Twilight, I..." Spike tried to say before W interjected.
"I hate to interrupt, but perhaps we can have this discussion inside. We all need some rest," W said in Phillip's voice. Twilight glared at her assistant one more time before she nodded to W and they all went inside.
After they all went inside, the Riders returning to their civilian forms and Philip and Shining Armor regains their consciousness. Twilight use her magic to pulled Spike's ear as she sat him down for one of her classic lectures.
"Spike the dragon! I cannot BELIEVE that you would pull something like this." Twilight scolded as she circled her assistant, Spike looking down dejectedly, trembling a bit.
"Do you have any idea what kind of danger you've put yourself in? You've seen what those monsters can do." Twilight said, leaving Spike said nothing as he continued to tremble. "Well? What do you have to say for yourself young dragon?" Twilight said with sternness as Spike still said nothing.
"Miss Twilight, don't you think you're being a bit harsh on him?" Eiji interrupts as Twilight gave him a glare only a protective sister could give and surely Eiji shrunk as he backs away.
Twilight then turns to her brother "Shiny, can you teleport Spike back to-" she said but was interrupted by Spike.
"NO!" Spike interrupted which everyone looked at him in surprise.
"What?" Twilight said with a sharp edge to her voice.
Spike stood up and said "I'm not going back to Ponyville".
Twilight looked with an annoyed face "Spike, this is not up for discussion. You are going back and that's-" she argues but was interrupted again.
"NO! I'm not going back and you can't make me!" Spike said in a ranging tone.
"Spike..." Twilight said with surprise.
"No! You are not leaving me this time. Every time you and the others went on dangerous adventures you would always leave me behind to look after everything. Most of the time I was happy to do it." He admitted it before continuing "But not this time. I may not be strong like you, the Princesses or the Riders, but I'm not just going to sit by and do nothing." Spike demanded his point.
"Spike, I..." Twilight merely said.
"Do you have any idea how worried I was every time you and our friends go off saving Equestria !? Risking your necks against Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis. Every time I was always so worried I felt like my heart would break." Spike admitted his sorrow.
Twilight thought about Spike's words. It was true that Spike usually got put on the sidelines, but Twilight had always had a good reason. She had never wanted him to come to harm because of her, she was so scared she would lose her best friend.
"And now when our friends are in danger and the world is in some of the worst trouble it's ever been in, you want me to just stay behind and do nothing!? Not this time! I'm not leaving and you can't make me!" Spike said with a few tears on his eyes.
Twilight and everyone else sat stunned at Spike's outburst. The Princesses had never seen Spike act this way before and Twilight especially had never seen Spike this distraught.
"They're my friends too, and I want to help save them. I know I can't do much, but I still want to fight." Spike said as he shuddered.
The room was tense as Spike waited for Twilight's reaction. She did the only thing she thought she should do. She hugged her young assistant. Spike looked shocked as Twilight hugged him and not before long she broke the hug.
"Okay Spike, you can stay. But you have stick by either me, the Princesses, the Riders, or Shining Armor at all times. Am I clear?" Twilight stated.
Spike looked at her and smiled "Crystal," Spike said as he hugged Twilight, Princess Celestia smiled at her student and the young dragon. Normally this would have been a picture perfect moment.
That is, until Gentaro began to cry, rubbing his eyes on his sleeve "That's…That's so...That's so beautiful! It makes me cry!" Gentarou yelled as he hugged the closest person next to him, which just happened to be Kouta who merely patted Gentaro on the back.
The control panel on the bridge began to beep, Shining Armor going up to it to examine it "We're about to land in Canterlot. I'll rally the troops." Shining Armor said as he put his helmet back on and prepared his troops.
"Ever the serious one isn't he." Haruto whispers as he rose to his feet. The three Princesses and the Riders followed Shining Armor onto the deck.
-0000-
After a few minutes, all of Shining's troops who were still able to fight were assembled. Though some had injuries from the previous attack still stood. In front of them stood Shining Armor, Celestia and Luna, Twilight, and the Riders.
"ATTENTION!" Shining yelled. Immediately his troops stood perfectly straight, eyes forward.
Princess Celestia stepped forward, clearing her throat "Brave soldiers! Equestria is faced with a dire threat. Chrysalis and this Foundation X have taken our capitol and attacked our home. Will you stand for this!?" Celestia said sounding like a war general.
"NO MA'AM!" They yelled.
"You all are valiant warriors. I have no doubt in my mind you will fight your hardest to defend our nation. However, as you have seen, the enemy is stronger than anything we have faced before. Alone, we stand no chance!" The sun princess said making some of the soldiers looked down, remembering the recent battle.
"BUT FEAR NOT BRAVE WARRIORS!" Princess Luna yelled using the Canterlot Voice. Everyone covered their ears as the Celestial Princess shot her sister a look.
Luna with embarrassment "Sorry" she softly said "But fear not brave warriors, for we are not alone. To combat this threat, we have summoned the six warriors you see before you. The Kamen Riders!" Luna said as she waved a hoof at the Riders. The Riders stared at the soldiers before them with confidence.
"As you have seen, they possess strength and skill unrivaled by even we Princesses. They will help us in our battle. We ask you brave soldiers of Equestria, the finest soldiers in the land, will you stand with them!?" Princess Luna yell.
The soldiers saluted and yelled "WITH HONOR MA'AM!"
"Then ready yourselves mighty soldiers of Equestria, for today, we take back our capitol, our home. Today were taking back Canterlot!" Princess Celestia declares as the soldiers pounded their spears on the ground and yelled in agreement.
"Next time I should readjust the voice." Princess Luna thought with embarrassment.
A few moments later, Twilight was looking down with a nervous look on her face. Shotaro was first to noticed it.
"Problem Twilight?" he asked with the other Riders looked over curiously.
Twilight with a worry face "I'm just worried. We don't know what Chrysalis has in store. Plus...what if my friends are-" she said, but was interrupted by Haruto.
"Stop!" Haruto said as he knelt down in front of her "That kind of talk leads to nothing but doubts and despair. The second you start talking like that, you start to lose hope; and I refuse to let that happen." Haruto said. Twilight looked at the mage, her eyes watering a bit. "Never give up hope Twilight. Your friends are alive, and we will save them." Haruto said showed off one of his Wizard Rings "And we Kamen Riders don't go back on promises." Haruto said.
Twilight looked at the other Riders smiling and nodding in agreement. Twilight wiped a stray tear with a hoof "Thank you everyone." Twilight said with a grateful smile.
"Ahem!" someone said behind them. They turned to see Shining Armor who was glaring at the Riders "Just thought I'd let you know we're about to land in Canterlot. Get ready Riders," Shining said as he turned to return to his troops.
The Riders and Twilight looked out across the city as it was in shambles with fire burning everywhere. There were no ponies in sight. Canterlot looked like little more than a burning ruin now.
Twilight looked down at the city as her worried expression came back "Please be okay "she thought.
-000000-
Meanwhile on Foundation X space ship, we can see the Queen Chrysalis with a ranging face as she scolds at her partner Retsu.
"I thought you said that there would be no problems!? You never mentioned anything about these Kamen Riders!" Chrysalis yelled as Retsu stood, calmly taking the changeling queen's assault.
"You said these Kaijin of yours were unstoppable, but those Riders defeated them like they were mere foals! How are you planning to fix this Retsu!?" Chrysalis scolded while Retsu readjusted his glasses.
"While I will admit the appearance of those damnable Riders were… unexpected" He said as he gritted his teeth at the last sentence "I can assure you that our plans will still work." he calmly stated.
"And how in pray tell are we going to accomplish that!?" Chrysalis growled.
Retsu smiles evilly back "Did you forgot Chrysalis, we still have our trump card." Retsu said as a door opened to reveal five lab tables. On the tables were five bodies covered with white cloth.
Chrysalis then has an evil smile appeared on her face. "Ah, I see. You're quite right Retsu. Even with the Riders by her side, little Twilight won't stand a chance against this enemy." Chrysalis chuckles as the bodies began to rise from the tables.
