Hello, everyone! PHANTOMKNIGHTMARE47 here with a new idea for a crossover between Sonic The Hedgehog and Kamen Rider, set around the events of the recently ended Reiwa-era Kamen Rider series, Kamen Rider Saber. It's called: Sonic X: Return Of The Megid. Basically, the plot goes like this. Chris Thorndyke lives a normal life with his friends and family in Station Square, that is, until Dr. Eggman ends up reviving the Megid with some new Generals. Meanwhile, as a result of a freak accident, Sonic and his friends are teleported to Earth, along with some other new faces from Mobius. As a result, Chris, and a few others, are chosen to be the next Elemental Swordsmen to fight the Megid. Will they keep Humanity and Mobianity safe from the forces of evil? Find out in Sonic X: Return of the Megid!

Location: Station Square

Date: January 20, 2022

It cuts to 18 year old Chris Thorndyke with his friends, Danny, Frances, and Helen, having coffee, while discussing their futures. Chris wanted to be a scientist, like his grandfather, Chuck, Frances wanted to study medicine, so she can treat Helen's sickness. Danny wanted to be a martial artist.

"I've been helping my grandfather out in the lab alot, to be honest." said Chris "I wanna help make the world a better place."

"I wanna help Helen be able to walk." said Frances

"I'll be OK, guys, really!" said Helen, with an embarrassed grin on her face.

Chris' POV

"My name is Chris Thorndyke, I'm 18 years old, and I hope to follow in my grandfather's footsteps as an inventor and scientist. I always wondered if there was other life in different areas, but I never expected to be thrust into the role of a superhero, along with some friends from another world. Until now, it seems."

Chapter One: Enter the Flame Swordsman!

It cuts to the forests of Station Square, until a portal the shape of a golden ring opens. From it stepped out an anthropomorphic hedgehog with blue fur, a peach muzzle, and green eyes. He wore white gloves on his hands and red sneakers with white stripes on it. This was the 'Fastest Thing Alive', himself. Sonic the Hedgehog.

'Looks like I've found a new home to stay in.' thought Sonic, as he surveyed the landscape. He then took off running, leaving a trail of blue energy as the ring portal disappeared. As he arrived in Station Square, he looked around

"This is…interesting." said Sonic, sounding like Randy Cunningham

(Author's Note: Sonic's VA in my stories is Ben Schwartz, because he makes Sonic sound young again. Roger Craig Smith sounds too adult.)

Sonic later sped past a policeman, who clocked him with his radar gun. When the radar gun tried to count his speed, it overheated and burst

"What the heck?" the officer blurted out "Whoever or whatever that was, it was wicked fast!"

Later, Sonic hid somewhere in the grounds of the Thorndyke Mansion. When Chris came home, he noticed that the door for the garden shed was opened just a crack.

"Uhh, hello? Who's there?" said Chris, as he took out a flashlight, and looked to see Sonic

"Uhhhhhh….meow?" said Sonic, with a nervous smile. This prompted Chris to scream in terror, and Sonic to scream as well, until he was shot in the thigh with a tranquilizer dart

"Oh, crumbs." Sonic mumbled, as he crumpled to the ground, out cold. Later, Sonic woke up to see Tanaka, Ella, Nelson, Lindsay and Chuck crowding him

"You're a long ways from your homeworld, friend." said Chuck, examining Sonic with curiosity

"Yeah, and I was separated from my friends, because an evil scientist took over my home planet." said Sonic

"My name's Chuck." said Chuck, introducing himself. "This is my son, Nelson, his wife, Lindsay, their son, Chris, who is my grandson, my son-in-law, Sam Speed, and our family servants and friends, Tanaka and Ella."

"My name's Sonic. Sonic the Hedgehog." said Sonic, introducing himself as he shook their hands.

Meanwhile, in another dimension, a trio of men were busy looking over the town of Station Square. One of them took out a small object similar to a book

[TSUCHIGUMO NO UTAKATA]

With that, a kaijin similar to appearance to Aracnea Worm Flavus crossed with the Spider Fangire appeared. His face was similar to that of the Father Spider Demon from Demon Slayer: Kimetsu No Yaiba, in his second form after shedding. The monster in question snarled and growled.

"Go forth, Tsuchigumo Megid." said one of the men, sounding similar to Yoshikage Kira "Cause some terror amongst humanity."

With that, the spider creature bounded off. Meanwhile, Sonic was busy touring Station Square with Chris and Chuck

"So, this is the big city." said Sonic, amazed by all the sights and sounds. Until suddenly, he, Chris and Chuck heard a scream. They saw the Tsuchigumo Megid attacking people with a squadron of what seem to be lesser monsters. The lesser monsters resembled humanoid silverfish.

"What the hey are those!?" said Sonic, shocked to see them "Since when did Eggman start making monsters!?"

"Who's Eggman?" said Chris, curious on who Sonic was talking about

"Dr. Ivo Julian 'Eggman' Robotnik." said Sonic "He's a mad scientist who's tried to take over my homeworld and failed numerous times."

Later, Chris was shaking, but then his fists clenched. "I'm not gonna sit idly by, and watch people get hurt." said Chris "Something's gotta be done!"

Location: Chris's Mindscape

Chris looked to see two men standing in front of him. "Who are you guys?" said Chris

"I am Daichi Kamijou." said the first man

"My name is Touma Kamiyama, I'm a bookstore owner who dreams of being an author." said the second man "Chris, we have chosen you to become the successor of a great power. You have been chosen to become…Kamen Rider Saber."

"Kamen Rider?" said Chris "Like those Japanese superheroes that fight monsters on a regular basis?"

"Those're the ones, kiddo." said Touma, smiling

"If it's to protect my friends, family, and the people of Station Square…I'll do it." said Chris, with a determined expression on his face.

The next thing anyone knew, a belt materialized on Chris's waist, with a sheathed sword in it. He was holding a small red book-like object.

[Brave Dragon!]

Chris then opened it, and the object spoke

[Once, there was a God Beast which possessed a great power that could destroy everything….]

Chris then inserted the object into the port on the left, and pulled the sword out of the belt

[Rekka Unsheathed!]

"Henshin!" said Chris, with a determined expression on his face.

[Brave Dragon!]

[Rekka, Volume One: When the courageous dragon and Kaenken Rekka meet, the crimson sword shall penetrate evil!]

With that, Chris was transformed into the new Kamen Rider Saber. He then gripped Kaenken Rekka tightly, and got into a fighting stance

"I'll be the one to decide the story's ending!" said Saber, as he rushed the monsters. Saber then started slashing away with Kaenken Rekka, and he tapped the Brave Dragon book

"Dragon Wonder!" said Saber as he was enveloped in flames, and delivered a punch that sent a flaming dragon at the Shimi, destroying them all. The Tsuchigumo Megid growled, and lunged at Saber, who blocked with Kaenken Rekka. He then knocked the monster skywards with an uppercut, and put the sword back in the belt, pressing the trigger

[Hissatsu Dokuha!]

Saber then pulled Kaenken Rekka out of the side of the belt, ready to execute a finisher

[Rekka Unsheathed! Dragon Issatsu-giri! FIRE!]

"Flame Cross Slash!" said Saber as he leapt upwards, and bifurcated the Tsuchigumo Megid with a downwards slash. The Tsuchigumo Megid let out one final screech, and exploded.

"Phew, that was way too intense." said Saber as he changed back to Chris, as Chuck and Sonic ran up to check on him. The three cloaked men had seen this through a crystal ball.

"So, a college student from Station Square has been chosen to become the new Kamen Rider Saber?" said the first hooded figure

"Hmph." said the second figure, sounding like Diavolo from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Golden Wind "He's green as grass. Barely any combat expertise whatsoever."

"We will see how this turns out in the future." said the third figure.

Meanwhile, Sonic had gotten a surprise. Some of his friends had arrived from a ring portal. They were Tails, Knuckles, and Amy. Sonic looked at Amy with confusion. Normally, she'd be hugging and kissing him like crazy, but something was off

"Amy, is something on your mind?" said Sonic, curious on what was going on his fangirl's mind

"Sonic, there's something you should know…" said Amy "I'm dating another guy. His name's Devon. Devon the Lemur. I've grown up since Eggman basically took over Mobius, and had caused both your mother, Queen Aleena, and your ex-girlfriend, Sally Acorn, to go into hiding."

"Amy…to be honest, I'm amazed by your personal growth. And I'm proud that you've moved on." said Sonic, with a smile as he hugged his old crush. Later, Sonic and the others looked to see a Mobian blue shark arrive.

"Hello, am I in the right room?" said the shark, sounding similar to Kevin, the Blue Samurai Ranger.

"Who are you?" said Chris

"Shintaro. Shintaro Kasugai the Shark." said the shark "And don't worry, I'm nothing like the sharks in your world, I'm a vegetarian."

Michi naru mono ni nomikoma reru toki
