Author's Note: Hello everyone! I know that it's been a long while since I last updated this story, but high school is my most important priority, especially now that my graduation day would only be 7 months from now and BladeSpark from FimFiction is even busier than I am with his life in college and now he's beginning to write his first novel for his career as a writer, so I don't heard from him as much, but he promised that he'll try his best to work on it like I do.
For now here is the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own Ed Edd n Eddy, My Little Pony, Kamen Rider and by extension Total Drama.
(EDIT: I combine the original two parter chapters into one.)
As the XVII moves in closer to Canterlot City, finding a safe place to land, in the ship Princess Celestia now noticed that daytime seems to be rather long as she remembers that the day should be ended by now.
"Luna, I think it's time to brought night forward." She said to her sister.
"Aye." the Lunar Princess respond as both their horns glow with their magic. Shotaro and Philip noticed their act and walked up to them.
"Hey um, Princesses. What are you doing?" Shotaro asked which caught the attention of the four other Riders as they looked as intrigued.
Twilight walked up to him "Oh didn't anypony tell you? Princess Celestia has the magic to raised the sun, while Luna raises the moon to create day and night." she answered.
Shotaro and the other Riders looked at Twilight with wide eyes in shocked. "EEHH!?" they called out.
"T-T-They c-c-can m-m-move the sun and moon!?" Gentarou said with shocked.
"H-H-How powerful are their magic!?" Haruto asked in astonishment.
"BUT THAT'S REMOTELY IMPOSSIBLE!" said the baffled Philip "The Sun is not supposed to move and it's gravitational pull on the Earth is the cause for it to rotate around the Sun which what creates the effect of night and day and the Moon is supposed to revolved around the planet due to Earth's gravitational pull." Philip yells in disbelief "How can you just simply moved them!?" he said in shocked and yet excitement.
Twilight stares at the Riders, more specifically Philip as she's a little confused to what Philip's trying to said, but Kouta suddenly jumped in.
"Guys! Remember, this is an entirely different dimension from where we from, this world may not work the same way as ours." Kouta said as he raised his two hands down to calm the others.
Eiji nodded "He's right, right now we should be focusing more important matters, stopping Chrysalis and Foundation X." he said.
Philip sighs "Fine." he respond and looks back at Twilight "But as soon as we've defeat them, you need to tell me how magic works here!" Philip said as he placed his fingers on his chip with a huge grin, Twilight finds it a little unnerving until Shotaro moves Philip from Twilight's gaze.
"Sorry about him, his obsession on learning new things can get a little out of hand sometimes." Shotaro said as he jabs his thumb at Philip as Philip gives a smirk look at Shotaro.
Twilight chuckles a little from their responses as she remembers Shotaro mentioning Philip's strange behavior before the fight moments ago (Chapter 8).
Moments later, the Sun slowly sets and the moon begin to rise as the afternoon slowly became dusk as the Princesses horns stop glowing as they sigh and turned to looked back at them as the two noticed the Riders look of amazement.
"What?" ask the Lunar Princess.
"Wow! I guess what Twilight said is true." Kouta said with wonder.
"Amazing." Eiji said with awe.
"That's quite an impressive spell." Haruto commented.
"The moon is here!" Gentaro cheered with a huge smile as he raised both his arms up high in a fist.
Philip makes an even larger smile "I need to know how this world's magic works!" he thought to himself. While Shotaro looks at his partner as he knows all too well what that smile means.
the Celestial Princess giggle "Seems that our world is as intriguing to you Riders." she said.
"Everypony, were landing." the voice of the Royal Captain called out, the Princesses, Spike and the Riders stared at the glass window as the XVII begins to land.
Finally the XVII had landed nearby Canterlot City, everyone in the ship had now assembled at the front entrance of the ship as all of the Royal Guards lined up, while Spike, Shining Armor, the Princesses and the Riders are in front of them.
"Alright soldiers, we are going to be splitting up into five squads. Each squad will be lead by a Rider and either one of the Princesses, myself, or Spike. Keep the ranks tightened up and let the Riders handle any Kaijin that appear. Your job is to aid civilians and to lessen collateral damage. Are we clear?" Shining Armor command his troops.
Shining Armor's troops saluted him, causing a low rumble "YES SIR!" they said.
Shining Armor smiled at his troops proudly as they had always been a heroic bunch as they willing to fight along side with him and to stand up for all of Equestria. They were his brothers and sisters just as much as Twilight was.
"Alright, the squads will go as follow." Celestia began. Celestia had donned her golden armor, which she had not worn in centuries. Luna and Twilight were likewise encased in purple and dark blue armor respectively. Even though Spike's scales acted as protection enough, he had been fitted with light plate as an extra layer of protection.
"I will be heading Squad One alongside with W. Princess Luna will lead Squad Two along with Fourze. Squad Three will be lead by Spike alongside OOO. Squad Four will be headed by Princess Twilight Sparkle and Gaim. Finally, Squad Five will be lead by Shining Armor and Wizard. Is everypony clear on their assignments?" she ask.
"YES MA'AM!" the soldiers shouted.
Beside her, Shining Armor grumbled as the Alicorn noticed his act "Is there a problem Captain Armor?" Celestia said.
Shining Armor looked at the Princess with an angered expression "With all due respect Princess, might I request pairing up with another Rider? That Wizard Rider offend me to no end. Perhaps he would be better suited for-" he didn't finished saying as Celestia interrupted.
"Shining Armor, are you saying that my decisions aren't the best ones ?" Celestia asked with a dangerous edge in it.
Shining Armor looked at her as fear slowly getting into him "N-no Princess. I merely think that-"
"Shining Armor you have been acting nothing but being hostile to the Riders ever since they have arrived." said the celestial princess as she turn to the Riders "They are our allies, no. OUR friends." She said as she turned back to Shining Armor "And I would expect the Captain of the Loyal Guard to show them the respect they deserve." Celestia said as if she was scolding a child. Shining begins to slightly shiver at her words.
"Now whatever grudge you have against the Riders I expect you to get over it and work with them. Otherwise I will have to send you back to the Crystal Empire to guard the Arayan guest. Understood!?" She scolded .
Shining Armor gritted his teeth and said "As you wish, Princess". Shining saluted Celestia as he went to prepare for the fighting.
Haruto walked over to Celestia."Princess, I'm not so sure if it'll be alright for me to work along with him. His rage could get worst for some reason and I'm sorry if this was because of me." Haruto respond softly.
Celestia sighs calmly "It's not your fault. It'll take sometime for him to calm his mind of." the Alicorn Princess reassures.
Haruto bowed and looked back at her "I'll look out for him." he said as he then moves to his position as too with Princess Celestia.
"SOLDIERS!" Shining Armor yelled. "You have your assignments, now form into squads and move out!" Shining yelled. The soldiers pounded their spears on the ground in response. Each of the Riders paired up with their partner for the mission.
"Be prepared everyone. We don't know what Chrysalis have in store for us." Celestia said. Everyone nodded as they faced the city.
"MOVE OUT!" Shining Armor yelled. All at once, the squads set off for the different areas of the city.
For now, were focusing on Princess Celestia who's marching alongside with Shotaro and Phillip as they trekked through Canterlot with several Royal Guards behind them. Seeing her precious city in such a state nearly brought her to tears. Buildings were partially destroyed, fires were raging everywhere, and destruction littered the streets. So far they had seen only a few changelings, which were quickly dispatched by Celestia herself.
"This is troubling." Celestia said as they continued to march.
"Agreed Princess. I would've expected there to be more Kaijin by now," Philip said with uncertainty.
"Regardless, we can't let our guard down." Shotaro said with seriousness.
Phillip and Celestia nodded in agreement.
Princess Celestia's face contorted with anger "I will make that witch pay for harming my little ponies." she said with malice.
Shotaro then placed a hand on the Princesses shoulder. Celestia found this strange, as she was usually the tallest pony at any given time, with only Luna and Cadance able to match her.
"Calm down Princess. I understand your anger." Shotaro said calmly.
"With all due respect Mister Shotaro, how can you? This city has been my home for so long. I have literally built most of this city with my own hooves. For over a thousand years, I have watched this city grow and flourish. I have watched ponies come and ponies go. This city is more than just a city it is my...my.."Celestia said but was interjected.
"Garden." Shotaro interrupt. Celestia looked up at the detective.
"I could see and understand your pain princess. The city where Phillip and I come from faced danger like this all the time. It broke my heart to see the people in my city fall to darkness." Shotaro said as both Philip and the Celestial princess looked at him.
"To see a place you love, a place filled with memories both good and bad be destroyed...I know that pain all too well." Shotaro said with sorrow and slight grief.
"Mister Shotaro..." Celestia said with worry, looking concern for the detective.
But Shotaro then makes a more confident and proud face "That's the reason why we're here to begin with. To help you and make sure your city no longer has to cry." Shotaro said as he tipped his hat.
Celestia smiled at the detective "The Elements chose you Riders wisely," Celestia said, but her smile was disturbed when suddenly they heard something coming towards them. The three along with the Royal Guards stood up in defense, what appear out of the crumble buildings were a group of three Kaijin, one is a Bird Dopant, the second one was a Chameleon Zodiart and the third is an Elementary Inves.
Shotaro smirks as he walks up "'Bout time they showed up." He said before looking at Philip "Phillip, let's go," Shotaro said as he put on the Double Driver and pulls his Joker Gaia memory out of his pocket.
Phillip closed his book and stood next to Shotaro "I'll admit, I was getting a little bored. This should make things a little more exciting." he said as he produced his Cyclone Gaia memory and press the button to activate it, same with the former.
CYCLONE!
JOKER!
The two then thrust their arm out with their perspective memory in their hands in a W shape fashion.
"Henshin!" they said in unison as they placed their memories in the Driver. Shotaro opened the Driver in a W shape as Philip's limb body fell over, caught by Celestia's magic. Shotaro then opens the Double Driver.
CYCLONE! JOKER!
The belt announces as he ran towards the three Kaijins while a gust of wind form W's armor around him and Philip mind enters into Shotaro's head.
"Now, count up your crimes!" Shotaro and Phillip yelled as W, charging at the Kaijins and pursue to fight.
The scene now change to Kamen Rider OOO fighting what appears to be a Caitsìth Phantom, the Rider easily dodge his opponent's attacks thanks to his super grasshopper jumping legs and fights back with his long sharp tiger claws, OOO's delivers several slashes on the Phantom as it finally rolls down on the ground in pain.
OOO's then use that time to grab the OOO's Scanner from his belt and scanned it across his tilt OOO's Driver as three holographic images of the Hawk, Tiger, Grasshopper Medals jumps out of the Driver before falling back down into the Driver.
SCANNING CHARGE!
The belt yell out as OOO's chest armor then channels green energy to his legs, causing his legs to glow bright green and begins to morph, not before long, the Rider's legs are now resembles to a grasshopper legs. OOO's then bends down as his whole body is glowing with the red, yellow and green pattern energy as he jumps up high into the air, once reaching to the apex of his jump, three energy rings appear into the air with the same pattern of red, yellow and green.
The rings then aimed itself at the Kaijin as OOO's descends down with a drop kick through the rings. He passed the red ring which creates a red veil hawk wings on his back, he passes the second ring which creates three yellow energy claw slashes on his arms and when finally passing through the green ring which cause his legs to glow green and all of the three rings to appear at the bottom of OOO's feet.
"SEIYA!" OOO's roared as he unleashed his signature Rider kick, the Tatoba kick onto the Caitsìth Phantom as it just about to recovered from it's injuries, causing it to explode. OOO's then stopped for a moment to breath and he looked at the aftermath of the battle that had just occurred. Guards were getting civilians out of a building that had been overrun by changelings and Kaijin. Thankfully the Rider was there and had managed to destroyed them.
OOO's then tipped his belt up straight, canceling his transformation and reverting him back to Eiji. A unicorn guard approached him and saluted. Eiji found it odd to have a pony salute him, but he went along with it to be polite.
"All civilians have been cleared from the building and accounted for. Thankfully only minor injuries were sustained," the guard reported.
Eiji smiles that the citizens are now alright "Good. Get them somewhere safe." Eiji said.
The guard saluted him once more "Yes sir, OOO sir," he said as he trotted off.
Spike who was on the side saw everything as he walked up to Eiji with a huge grin "That was so cool Eiji. I wish I had powers like yours!" Spike fanboy with full blast.
Eiji smiled at the little dragon's compliment "Thank you Spike." he said but then his face looked sightly sad "..But these powers comes at a great cost." he reveals as he looked down in grief as he remembers the painful side effects he faced when using it carelessly and hearing about the fate of the previous user.
Spike noticed it and deflated. "Sorry...I didn't think about that ." Spike said with slight regret.
Eiji then kneel down to Spike's height and patted the young dragon on the head "No need to apologize Spike. These powers may be costly, but I've been able to help so many people with them. That's more than enough reason for me to take the risks I do." Eiji said with a reassuring smile.
Spike smiled back at the Rider "Thanks Eiji. But there's one thing that's been bugging me though." he said.
"What's that?" Eiji asked curiously.
"Well, when you guys were fighting the Kaijin back on the ship, everyone else said a cool catch phrase. Why didn't you?" Spike asked.
As soon as Spike asked that, Eiji's face saddened as he crouched into a fetal position as he's starting to draw little circles on the ground.
"Did I touch a nerve?" Spike asked with worry.
Eiji sighs "Everyone's got a catchphrase. Shotaro and Phillip sempai, even my kouhais have cool catchphrases. I kept telling Ankh that we should think of one but all he did was calling me an idiot and smack me." Eiji rambled as he put his head against his knees and wailed. "I want a cool catch phrase! All I've got is my 'seiya' call when I use my final attacks." Eiji said as he whines like a child who had their candy taken away.
Spike walked up to Eiji and tapped him on the shoulder. "I'm pretty good with stuff like that, maybe I could help." Spike said as he tried to calm down the depressed Rider.
Eiji wiped his eyes and nose "You'd really do that?" he said. Spike nodded and smiled. Eiji smiled back and stood.
"Thank you Spike," Eiji said. Spike smiled as Eiji stood up, now out of his funk. Another guard walked up to the pair.
"Sirs, all the civilians have been cleared from the area," he said.
"Good, let's keep moving. We've still got a lot of ground to cover before we reach the rendezvous point. Let's move out!" Eiji yells in a confident voice. The guards saluted in unison as they fell into line and followed Spike and Eiji forward.
As they walk, Eiji looks at Spike who's next to him "So...What do you think would be a good catch phrase?" he asked as the two walked through the damaged city along with the guards behind them.
Now, our view has returned to the Crystal Empire as we see that back in the Crystal Castle, Princess Cadence looked through the balcony as she stares of into distances "Please be alright." she whispers to herself.
"HEY GUYS! I FOUND SOMETHING!" The voice of Duncan interrupts the Alicorn of Love thoughts.
"Huh?" Princess Cadence said in curiosity as she went back inside the room where the Colt-de-sac gangs were all gathered.
"Check this out!" Duncan said with excitement as he use his hoof to held an object out of the box for everypony to see.
The object reveals to be a purple collar of some sort with spikes design on it and a gold locket and a pink heart on the center.
Princess Cadence looked at the item with bewilderment "Um...What is it?" she ask.
Duncan and Taro then looked at it "Honestly other than a collar, I have no idea what it does." Duncan said.
"Hold on a sec!" Eddy interrupts as he walks up to them, getting a closer look on the collar "I seen this item before." he said.
"Really?" Taro asked.
"Yeah, if I remember correctly, my brother had it in his room and it has the ability to turn it's users into any creature they thought of." Eddy explains.
"REALLY!?" Big Ed burst out behind Eddy's back with excitement.
"Yeah, but I don't remember my brother mentioning that he's also sending this to us in his letters." Eddy said with confusion "Why did he decide to give it to us now?" he ask himself.
"Either way, short-stack Ed boy's elder sibling have added us more than Rolf himself have granted." Rolf commented.
Prince Eddward turned his head to his supervisor "You and me both Rolf." he said as everypony looks at the collar in curiosity.
The scene changes to another part of Canterlot City, we see Kamen Rider Wizard in his Flame Style Form slashing his WizardSwordGun at several Masquerade Dopants and Stardust Ninja Dustards and nearby from Wizard is Shining Armor who's firing bolt of his magic at a few Piranha Yummies, making each of the Yummies explode into piles of Cell Medals, but unbeknowst to them was another Kaijin who's hiding in the shadows of damaged buildings, it was a Cockroach Dopant. As soon as Shining Armor destroyed all of the Piranha Yummies, the Cockroach Dopant rush out of it's hiding place and was targeting Shining Armor from behind with great speed.
Luckily, Wizard just destroyed all of the grunts with a few slashes and noticed the Dopant darting at Shining Armor. "Oh no you won't!" Wizard call out as he replaced his red ruby Wizard Ring with a yellow topaz Wizard Ring, he then switch the lever of his WizarDriver and placed his left hand onto it.
LAND, PLEASE! DODODO~DODODON! DON~DODODON!
(Translate: Land, Please! Earth~Earth! Earth~Earth!)
Then a yellow magic circle appears bellow Wizard's feet as rocks, pebbles and debris from buildings floats above the magical circle, then the magic circle begins to rise as it passes Wizard's feet and moved all the way to Wizard's head. Once the circle pass up to his head and vanishes, Wizard's red ruby armor parts are now replaced with square yellow topaz along with his helmet face, he's now in his Land Style Form.
Wizard then removes one ring from his right hand and replaced it with another Wizard Ring that has an image of a white dragon holding a shield, he then flips the lever on his WizarDriver and place his right hand on it, activating a spell.
DEFEND! PLEASE!
The Driver call out as Wizard then extends his right hand out, Shining Armor's done firing the Piranha Yummies and turn his head and was surprised to see the Cockroach Dopant running towards him with great speed as the Royal Captain was about to charge another magical attack from his horn. But as the Cockroach Dopant is charging at Shining Armor, a large stone slab emerge from the ground and the Dopant got hit in the head with immense force, to the point of breaking the slab with it's head is it is now stuck in between.
Wizard then pulls out another ring as he removes his previous right ring with a ring that had an image of a white dragon flying down with a shoe in the middle as he place his right hand on his Driver again.
CHOINE, KICK STRIKE! SAIKO!
(Translate: Very Nice, Kick Strike! Fabulous!)
The yellow magic circle appears again on Wizard's feet, this time the circle glows brighter as his right leg then glows, the magic circle disappears as it reveals that Wizard's right foreleg is now charged with yellow land magic as several small rocks and pebbles were orbiting around his leg. Wizard ran towards them, the Rider then performs a cartwheel before jumping up high into the air and performs a flying kick as he descends down on the trapped Dopant, Shining Armor sees this and ran away in time, the kaijin struggles to escape, but was too late as Wizard's kick had enough force to destroy the stone slab along with the Cockroach kaijin in a huge explosion.
Wizard jumps out of the explosion unscathed as he dusted his robes "That was a close one." said the magical Rider.
"Well it was..." Shining Armor interrupted "...and I could have taken care of that monster to if you haven't jumped in." he said with annoyance.
Wizard scoffed "I doubt it!" he said as he crossed his arms.
"Don't forget! I am the captain of the royal guard and I'm well trained in combat. I could take care of myself." Shining argued.
Wizard was taken back at the unicorn's rage "But these enemies are from my world and there unlike anything that you or your world had seen before! Unless that you've fought monsters similar to the kaijins, your sister and the Princesses wouldn't need to summon me and my fellow Riders here to begin with." he pointed out.
The Captain then feel more annoyed "For the last time, I don't want and need your help!" he yelled as he walked away.
Two of the officers of the Royal Guard marched up to Wizard's side, one was a white coat Pegasus stallion and the other was a grey fur earth pony.
"Wow. I've never seen the Captain this enraged before." The earth pony guard commented.
Wizard then turned to the two guards "Is he always like this?" Wizard asked the guards.
"Well, sometimes he can get a little rational, but even I would admit that I never seen him this mad before." the Pegasus guard answered.
Wizard then looked back at Shining Armor as the captain called out his troops "I hope that all things will be straighten out after this." Wizard thought to himself as he followed suit.
The scene now moved to a burning building, in it was a Pegasus mare who's holding her daughter tightly as they were surrounded by smoke and flames.
"Mommy...I'm scared!" The little filly shutters in fear as her mother held her tighter.
"Don't worry honey, everything's gonna be okay. Mommy will find us a way out." the mother said reassuringly as she held her filly. She coughed as the smoke continued to fill the building.
The mare ran around the building, as she did so she noticed that part of the ceiling was falling. She moved quickly to get out of the way. Unfortunately, she wasn't able to get out in time as she found herself trapped under the debris. Thankfully, she had gotten her foal out of the way.
"Mama!" the foal screamed as she ran to her mother's side. The mare tried to lift herself up, but she's unable to lift the weight as her back legs were trapped.
The mare turn to her foal "Misty, you need to run. I'll be fine, just get out to somewhere safe." the mare said.
The filly shook her head "No, I won't leave you mommy!" the filly said as she desperately tries to lift the debris from her mother.
"Misty, there's no time. Listen to your mother and go." the mare said with sorrow, tears begin to leaked from her eyes.
The filly continued to attempt to save her mother, as tears begins to flow from her face as well "Somepony help! Anypony! Help," the filly cries out. Suddenly, she heard a wall explode behind her. The mare and filly looked to see a humanoid figure at the distance.
"Someone calls for help!?" The figure called out as it noticed the two and ran towards them.
The filly scooted away, afraid of the figure as she closed her eyes. However, instead of feeling the creature attacking them, she suddenly heard the sound of debris being lifted. She opened her eyes and was stunned to see what or who's in front of her, it is none other than Kamen Rider Fourze who's lifting the debris off of her mother.
"Are you okay?" Fourze asked as he kneels down to her. The mare tried to stand, but fell down, noticing blood streaming from one of her legs.
Fourze saw this and nodded "You two sit tight." he said as he removes the Orange Rocket Astroswitch from the right side of the Fourze Driver and replaced it with a red one with the number 20 and a yellow ring next to it.
FIRE!
The Driver announces as Fourze pulls the ring of the Astroswitch.
FIRE~ON!
The Driver call out as a holographic image of the red sticker with black flames on the background and the number 20 appears. Suddenly, Fourze's right forearm begins to glow with red energy as fire like substances began to consume Fourze's body. The blue ring device (resembling a UFO) appears once more, this time it's now red as Fourze's body is lit on fire, seconds later the fire diminishes, revealing Fourze in a different form.
Fourze's left forearm, forelegs and shoes are still the same, but the rest of him is now red, his shoulders are now armed with metallic grey armor and two triangles on top of it along with his chest armor having four triangles with image of fire on it, he has two horn like antennas on the side of his cheeks, having an red orange face and his eyes are now green, he's in his Fire States Form. And on Fourze's right hand is a red rifle slash bazooka like weapon with silver linings and two black handles on the side, this weapon is the Fire Module Hee-Hackgun.
The Astro Rider then removes his Fire Switch and inserts it at the bottom barrel of the Hee-Hack Gun as he extends it, revealing a black spring tube connecting the barrel and the base of the weapon, making the Hee-Hackgun resemble to a fire extinguisher.
FIRE~ON! LIMIT BREAK!
"Firefighter's here!" Fourze yell as water spewed from the Hee-Hack Gun, extinguishing the flames all around them in a matter of seconds. Once Fourze was done, he placed the Switch back into his belt and went to the mare and filly.
"Don't worry, you're safe now." Fourze said. The mare and filly looked with shock at Fourze, unable to say anything. Suddenly, the Rider picked the two up and slung them over his shoulders.
"Hang tight, I'm gonna get you two outta here!" Fourze said as he proceeded down the hallway, putting out the fires as he did so.
Finally, the Astro Rider was able to make his way out onto the street through a door, where Luna and the Guards were waiting.
"These are the last two Luna." Fourze said as he placed the mare and filly on the ground, careful with the mother's injured leg.
"Excellent work sir Fourze." Princess Luna complimented.
Fourze knelt down and examined the mare's leg "Hold still for a moment." Fourze said as he removes one switch from his Driver and replaces it with a light yellow Astroswitch with a number 24 into the Driver.
MEDICAL!
Fourze then flipped the said switch.
MEDICAL ~ ON!
Seconds later a yellow medical kit appeared on Fourze's left arm. He opened it up and took out a syringe with a red liquid inside.
"Right! Let's see if this works." Fourze said to himself as he gets his attention back to the mare and her filly.
"This might sting a bit." Fourze said as he put the syringe in the mare's leg. The mare hissed at the pain for a moment before she felt relief. Warily, she put her weight on her leg, finding it no longer in pain.
"Mama!" the filly said as she ran up and hugged her mother. The mare squeezed the filly for dear life. The two looked at Fourze and the Princess.
"Thank goodness Medical works on non-humans as well. Now it's only a temporary fix, so make sure to see a doctor quick." Fourze advised as he flipped the four red switches on his belt up at the same time, canceling his transformation, revealing Gentaro.
The mare and filly looked confused at the human. Nevertheless, they were grateful "Thank you so much Mister...?" the mare said.
Gentaro smiled as he slicked back his hair, and pounded his fist against his chest, pointing a finger at the mare.
"I'm Gentaro Kisaragi, the man who will befriend the whole world." he said with a smile.
Princess Luna smiled at Gentarou's display before she looked at one of the guards "Get these two somewhere safe." Luna commanded.
The guard saluted her "At once Ma'am," he said as he ushered the mare and filly towards a safe house.
"Wait!" the filly interrupt before she ran up to Gentaro and gave him a hug which took him by surprise.
"Thank you so much for saving my mommy mister alien." the filly said.
Gentaro smiled proudly and hugged her back and patted her on the head "Anytime." he said as he broke the hug and the filly ran back to her mother.
The Princess of the night walked up to the smiling human "We must say, you may have as much energy as Miss Pie, but thou are a fine warrior sir Gentaro." Luna said.
Gentaro can't help but to smile at Luna's compliment "I just can't stand to see people sad. It's a part of why I love being a Rider and making new friends." Gentaro replied.
Luna smiled "We wish we had your sort of skills in the ways of friendship Gentaro. Whenever we try to make friends, ponies just run away scared." Luna said with a frown.
Gentaro looked at the lunar princess in shock "What!? Why would they do that? You're one of the Princesses of this place, right?" Gentaro ask.
"Yes, but we've only recently gained our title back." Luna said with sadness.
"Why is that?" Gentaro asked in confusion.
The Princess looked sadly at the Rider before sighing "We had been sealed away for a thousand years after we became jealous of our sister Celestia and became a monster known as Nightmare Moon and desire to bring eternal night in this land. We've only returned to our senses after Twilight Sparkle and her friends uses the Elements to rid us of our evil." Princess Luna revealed.
Gentaro was shocked at the revelation, but still kept his composure as he listens.
"Since our return, we've tried to regain the trust of our beloved subjects, but to little avail. All they see when they look at me is a monster." Luna said, a small tear escaping her eyes.
Gentaro went up and patted the Princess on the back "Well you're not evil anymore right?" Gentaro said with a more confident look.
"Of course we aren't!" Luna said in protest "We never want to return being Nightmare Moon." she replied.
Gentaro then had his hands on his hips "Then all is forgiven. Besides, you said you had a little success with gaining your people's trust back, right?" he said in a surprising display of insight.
Luna thought about it "'Tis true. We have made friends with the Elements as well as gaining the adoration of some of the foals in Ponyville," she saids while thinking about the Cutie Mark Crusaders and Pip.
"See, you have made progress. Just because they're scared of you now doesn't mean they'll be scared of you forever. Give it time and they'll warm up to you." Gentarou said reassuringly. Luna wiped the tears from her eyes and looked up at Gentaro.
"Thank you Gentaro." Luna said.
Gentarou gives a reasuring smile "Hey, that's what friends are for." he said.
Before Luna could say anything else, a guard approached the "Princess Luna, we have cleared the area. Thankfully there were few casualties," the guard said.
Princess Luna cleared her throat "Very good. Rally the guard and prepare to move toward the rendezvous point," she ordered.
"At once Ma'am." the guard said as he went to complete his task.
"Let's go, I haven't had my fill of fighting Kaijins yet!" Gentaro said as he flips the red switches on his Driver, preparing to transform again.
"This one could give Miss Pie a run for her bits." Princess Luna thought in her mind as the group prepared to move out.
Meanwhile in another section of the city, we see Twilight Sparkle leading some of the guards "All right, the other squads should be here soon. For now, everypony rest and tend to any wounds you may have." Twilight said. The guards saluted her as they went about their business.
Kouta who's in his Gaim suit walks up near to the Princess, he sighs as he sat down next to Twilight. Twilight looked at Kouta with concern as throughout their entire journey he hadn't canceled his transformation.
Twilight then sat down next to him, removing her helmet and look back at him "Kouta, I said we could rest. You don't have to be in your Rider form for right now." she reasoned.
Gaim waved a hand at her "Don't worry, I'm fine. Besides, I want to be ready just in case something attacks us," Kouta said dismissively. Despite what he was saying, Kouta was breathing heavily.
Twilight was taken back with slight frustration; she then looks down and saw his Sengoku Driver with the Orange Lockseed locked into place. Twilight then remembers how she saw Kouta cancel his transformation after the fight with the Kaijins on the ship. Her horn glow as she uses her magic to flip the lid of the Lockseed on his Driver closed, which in turn cancels his transformation, reverting him back to normal.
Kouta look at himself with shock as he realized that he turn back to his civilian attire before turning to Twilight "Hey!" Kouta said annoyed. But he stopped his protests after seeing Twilight's glare at him.
"I..guess I could take a little break." Kouta said with nervousness.
Twilight sighed as she rubbed the sides of her head "I'm sorry, I'm just stressed." she said.
"Aren't we all?" Kouta replied.
"You know what I mean. I'm still worried about my friends. I keep thinking about what Chrysalis might be doing to them, or if they-" she was cut off by Kouta placing his hand over her mouth.
"Relax Twilight, I understand." Kouta reassures as he removed his hand.
"Sorry." she said.
"It's alright." Kouta said as he then looks up at the starry night sky "Truth be told, I'm worried about my friends back home too." he said as his face darkened.
Twilight looks at him curiously "What's going on in your world?" she asked.
Kouta sighed "Everything's been going to hell lately. Ever since we found these stupid belts." He said pointing at his Driver on his waist " Everything's been turned completely upside down. An enchanted alien forest called Helheim is taking over my world. The whole town is demonizing me and my friends. A corporation called Yggdrasill keeps trying to cover up everything about Helheim, and furthermore a guy named Kaito who's supposed to help us to save the world, who instead he keeps going off on his own trying to become stronger or something." Kouta finishes his listing with pure frustration as he placed his elbows on his knees and his right fist on his right cheek and huffs.
Twilight blinked, trying to take everything in "Wow...I didn't know things were so bad in your world." she said dumbfounded.
"I've keep trying to find a solution for all of this, but so far I've got nothing except to keep on fighting the monsters living in the forest" Kouta said.
Twilight looked down for a moment, unable to think of what to say. After a few moments, she spoke "I think I know what you mean." she said.
Kouta looks at her with confusion "How so?" he asked.
Twilight then spread her wings "Until a few weeks ago, I didn't have these. I was just a regular unicorn. But ever since I passed some test, I ascended and became the Alicorn Princess that I am now." she said.
Kouta looked with raised eyebrows along with interest as he listen intently.
"Once I got my wings, I was crowned a Princess and ever since then, it's been nothing but work. Etiquette lessons, diplomacy lessons, learning how to fly. Not to mentioned having to stop Celestia's former student named Sunset Shimmer from taking over another dimension." Twilight stated, when she's done, she turned to Kouta and saw that he looked just as baffled and flabbergast.
"And you said my universe was strange." Kouta commented.
Twilight snorted a bit before burst out giggling and Kouta found himself starting to laugh along with her. After a few minutes, both of them stopped laughing and smiled at each other.
"I guess we've both got a lot on our plates." Kouta said.
"Indeed. But at least we've got friends to help us through it." Twilight said, but her face saddened at the mention of her friends.
Kouta patted her on the back "Don't worry Twilight, we'll save them. Riders keep their promises." he said and gives a reassuring smile at the lavender princess.
Twilight smiled in return "Thanks Kouta," she said.
"Princess!" a guard yelled as he ran up to them.
"What is it?" Twilight said, putting her helm back on.
"The other squads have begun to arrive." the guard answered.
"Very good. We'll meet with them immediately." Twilight ordered.
"Yes Princess." the guard said as he ran off.
Kouta sighed as he stood up "No rest for the weary I suppose." he said as they went to meet with the other squads.
A few minute past by as everyone had rejoined together as they are now close to the center of Canterlot city "All areas seem to be clear of civilians and the Kaijins are taken care of. There are still a few fires raging in the southern part of the city but the crew of the XVII have gone to take care of them." Princess Celestia said as she uses her magic to create a 3D magical map of the city.
Everyone looked at the map and examine them cautiously "Excellent. What should our next course of action be?" Princess Luna asked.
Princess Celestia then changed the image on the map to a view of Foundation X's ship, the Exodus.
"Next we attack Chrysalis and Foundation X right at their core. With the Riders standing with us and all of us back at full strength, we should be able to defeat them." Princess Celestia ordered.
Everyone nodded with confidence...everyone except for Philip and Shining Armor as they both look unsure. Twilight then noticed their facial expression.
"Something wrong guys?" she asked with worry.
Philip started "This has been easy...too easy." he said with suspicion.
Shining Armor then replied "As much as I hate to admit it, he's right. We all ran into Kaijins for sure, but we were met with relatively little resistance." he added.
"If what we've learned about Chrysalis is accurate, she would have a much bigger army than this." Phillip claimed.
This makes everyone looked at each other troubled.
"Maybe that big bug decided to retreat while leaving us here now." Gentarou said with point.
Phillip shook his head "Not likely. If she was planning to retreat, she would have done it by now." he stated as he looks even more concern "No, something else is going on here." he said as he tries to ravel the feeling.
Suddenly, Haruto felt a strange, yet familiar presence as he looks up, his face turned to panicked as he placed a ringed hand over his belt buckle.
DEFEND! PLEASE~!
The belt announced as Haruto held his hand up which cast a fiery red magic circle spell like shield just in time as several blast of purple energy came at them from one of the buildings. Once the blast are gone, the shield spell dissipate as the whole group look at each other in shocked.
"What in Equestria was that!?" Princess Luna exclaims as everyone scan the area, searching for the source of the attack.
Suddenly a feminine voice called out "Impressive Wizard. I see you haven't lost your touch." the voice said.
"Show yourself!" Haruto yelled, moments later they heard footsteps walking towards them, they turned their head to the shadow of a building nearby and saw a shadowy figure approaching them. Stepping out of the shadows was a Kaijin.
This Kaijin his feminine in appearance, it had leathery lavender skin like armor, wearing a lavender witch robe with the tunic reaching pass her knees, lavender high heels, light yellow shoulderpads. She had a facial feature similar to a female human with a white mouth and purple lipsticks, but the monster doesn't have eyes, ears or a nose, but it did have a black letter V shape visor, acting as 'eyes' with her head have patterns similar to a snake's skin. But the most intriguing feature was that her hair are actually living snakes. Making her resemble to Medusa as she's none other than one of the commanders of the Phantoms, and as said she is the Medusa Phantom.
"Long time no see ring bearing mage." Medusa greeted.
Haruto was more than shocked to see one of his most powerful nemesis "Medusa, but how!? Fueki killed you," he exclaims.
"Come on silly Rider," another but more cheerful voice said as playing cards suddenly fly out of the shadows, aiming towards our heroes as they got out of the way, which caused the cards to hit at a nearby wall or floor and the cards explodes. Bouncing out of the shadows and stood next to Medusa was another Kaijin.
This Kaijin looks like a monstrous humanoid jester, it had a pattern of black and white on it's armor clothing like skin with blue, red, black, white lines on it's body, wearing a black glove on it's right hand and a white glove on it's left hand, same goes for white shoes on the left and black shoes on the right. It wore an orange scarf around it's neck and it's head resembles a hat of a jester with three points like horns while it's face look barely like human due to it's face being split by the black and white half. This is one of the high level Horoscopes Zodiarts, Gemini.
"The old bad guys always come back for crossovers!" Gemini Zodiart said as it gives a sadistic giggling.
"Gemini!' Gentaro yelled with anger.
"That's not all!" Two more voices said as two energy slashes flies towards the group and fortunately they all dodged in the naked time. Landing next to Gemini and Medusa were two more Kaijins.
The first one is a blue skin humanoid male kaijin, it wear blue armor that has line patterns that resembles the Nazca lines, it wore baggy blue pants which are tied by blue grieves, wearing black gloves, a metallic machine belt with a gold orb on the center of the buckle. It had two long orange scarf like cape on it's back, it's face is covered by a metal face shield which also has Nazca lines on it. In addition, it's wielding a black metal sword with white lines on it. This is the Nazca Dopant.
While the other Kaijin is entirely made of red crimson skin armor with bits of silver over it's body, it wore a red cape, two horns on each of it's forearm with purple lizard like hands, it's head looks vaguely similar to a gladiator's helmet with one large single black horn over it's head like a crest and a smaller white horn on it's forehead, two menacing glowing yellow eyes and two fang like teeth on the side of it's mouth as it wields a red sword with white edges. This is an Overlord Inves, otherwise known as Demushu.
"Nazca!" Philip and Shotaro yelled.
"An Overlord!?" Kouta said with shocked as he unexpected of the appearance of an Overlord "What the hell's going on here!?" he said baffled.
"It's you're end Riders!" Nazca replied.
"We're gonna crush you apes and those feeble Princesses right here and now." Demushu growled as he point his sword at them.
"Indeed." another voice called out as a torrent of water suddenly came out of nowhere and it circles around the four Kaijins before it stood next to Medusa as it begins to form into yet another kaijin.
Like Medusa, this kaijin has a feminine shape body, it's body is made of black blubber skin like substance with legs that covers in octopus suction cups and black high heels, wearing a silver belt that had a gold buckle with a yellow orb in the center. She wears a necklace that resembles to an eel around her neck, a blue short cape with octopus tentacles attach to each side of it. Her eyes are completely blue while she has no mouth but instead a white mask with black lines. But the strangest thing about her is that her head is shaped and looked like an orca whale, with two long pectoral flippers on the side, a short dorsal fin on top and a tail fluke on the back of her head. Now standing by Medusa was none other than the Greeed Mezool.
"How is this possible!?" Eiji said with shocked "We destroyed all of you." He exclaims as he points at Mezool "I smashed your Core myself Mezool!" he yelled.
Mezool laughed at the vagabond "Such is the power of our new Mistress and Foundation X." she answered.
"Shut up! We beat you all once, we can beat you again!" Gentaro said as he and the other Riders begin to place their Drivers.
Medusa smirked at this as she looked at her fellow general Kaijins "Well then, shall we?" she ask and they all nodded as they glowed with dark energy like aura.
"But of course." Mezool agrees.
"Yay! Who can I kill first!?" Gemini said as she pulls out more playing cards.
"I'll crush them." Demushu growls.
"Get in line Overlord!" Nazca interjected.
The Riders got their transformation items ready and they begin to charge at their opponents as they all yell out.
"HENSHIN!"
