Chapter 4: Nightmare's plan - Phase 1
A/N: Cross is back with chapter 4! Hope you will enjoy this chapter! This is phase 1 of the Nightmare's plan and in total, there are 6 phases in the plan. They will be split into six different chapters. In this chapter, one of the five dark clouds will be attacking Canterlot. What will it do? Find out in this chapter! 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. I change the time when this happens cause Luna became Nightmare Moon a thousand years before season one started and King Sombra and Discord also got eliminated a thousand years before season one.
kivafever: You're right! I forgotten that Nightmare Moon was banished to the moon during the same year as King Sombra's banishment and Discord being sealed. By the way, the Tendou Souji/Flare, Wataru Kurenai/Night Shade and Haruto/Spells are Alicorns and in this story, Alicorns and Phoenixes are immortal so all the riders will be able to survive a thousand years. Also, they won't be sent to another world. You'll know why at the end of the story.
After Celestia healed Spells's wounds and Flare asked,"How did the Ghouls appear? I thought you destroyed all of them." Spells coughed a bit and said,"I did destroy them! It's just that when I was strolling through the village while I was sketching pictures of houses, a dark cloud appeared and when it shot a lightning bolt, Ghouls started to appear and they were stronger than the ones I fought before."
Celestia then said,"The Nightmare is starting to get on my nerve just like Sombra." Flare placed his hoof on Celestia and said,"Don't worry dear. We'll find a way to destroy it."
Shade picked up the Timberwolf that was nuzzling him and he placed it on the table before he said,"I wish Takashi was here. He would know what to do." Flare came up with an idea and asked,"Blaze, do you still have the Candroids?" Blaze nodded and Flare said,"We could use them to secure different parts of Canterlot so we would know where the Nightmare is." Luna smiled and said,"Great idea Flare!"
Spells then said,"I can send the Familiars to help out as well." Flare nodded and Spells closed his eyes to concentrate on the Familiars's rings.
The five Familiars appeared and Spells said,"Go and secure Canterlot. Be sure to look out for the Nightmare." The Familiars nodded and went away.
Spells concentrated once more, a Magical Portal appeared and the Ride Vendor appeared out of it. Blaze dropped dozens of Cell medals from his chest and Flare levitated them into the slot on the Ride Vendor, causing multiple cans to drop out. Flare opened up all the cans and they turned into Taka Candroids. Flare said,"Help the Familiars secure Canterlot from the Nightmare." The Taka Candroids nodded and flew out of the castle.
The two Hydras lied down on the floor and closed their eyes before they fell asleep. Shade smiled as he went up to pet each of the Hydras. The Timberwolves and Parasprites did the same and soon, the animals were all asleep.
The riders and the princesses were soon teleported back to their castle back in Canterlot.
In the Everfree Forest, one of the dark clouds that went south of the Everfree forest had found a Manticore that was fast asleep.
The dark cloud turned into a dark silhouette of a pony and said,"Your nightmares will come true." The dark cloud then swirled around the Manticore and when it opened its eyes, it turned dark blue.
The Manticore got up and made its way towards Canterlot's location.
Once the ponies were back in their castle, Spells smiled as he levitated the sketches of houses in front of Celestia and Luna before he asked,"What do you think? Should we build houses like this for the ponies?" Celestia smiled and said,"I think it would be lovely." Luna nodded and Spells said,"I'll be working on finding the fastest way to build the houses." Spells teleported off and Shade said,"Flare, you might want to look out of the window."
Flare moved to the window and gasped as he saw a Manticore attacking the Unicorn guards outside the gates of the castle. He turned to look at Blaze and said,"You're up." Blaze nodded and flew out of the window.
He looked at Shade and said,"Shade, let's help Blaze." Shade nodded and the two galloped out of the room and made their way for the gates.
Blaze flew down to the gates and three Core medals came out of his chest,"TAKA!" "KUJAKU!" "CONDOR!" The three Core medals merged and implanted itself on Blaze's chest, causing the Tajador armor to appear in Blaze's place.
As he landed on the ground, a Unicorn guard was sent tumbling towards him.
Blaze helped the guard up and asked,"Are you alright?" The guard nodded and said,"That Manticore is out of control!"
The Manticore turned to face Blaze and growled before it charged.
The guard screamed in fear and galloped away while Blaze got into his battle stance. The Manticore unsheathed its claws and swung its paws at Blaze, who dodged the swipes and got up into the air.
Blaze created his peacock tail feather projectiles and launched them at the Manticore.
The Manticore started running around, making all the projectiles miss and it leaped into the air with its scorpion tail raised so it could sting Blaze.
As the Manticore came closer, it was knocked down by a water ball that was the same size as a basketball. Blaze turned to see Shade in his Basshaa form and Flare in his Kabuto Rider form.
Flare ran over to Blaze and said,"That Manticore is under the Nightmare's influence!" Shade shot a few more water projectiles at the Manticore and before they knew it, Camponotus Worm Oculus and Camponotus Worm Maxilla appeared and blocked the projectiles with their bodies. Shade exclaimed,"Did they just used themselves as meat shields?!" Flare grunted and said,"That proves that the Manticore is possessed by the Nightmare!"
The Worms charged at the riders but an explosion was created in front of the Worms.
Spells appeared beside the riders in his Flame Dragon armor. He said,"The girls said you needed my help." Flare nodded and said,"Spells, help me with the Worms. Blaze and Shade, take down the Manticore." The riders nodded and they split up into two groups before they charged at their respective targets.
With Flare and Spells,
The Worms leaped into the air to deliver their Double Kick.
Spells placed his right hand on his buckle,"DEFEND...PLEASE!" A wall of fire appeared and the Worms crashed into it. Flare leaped over to wall and exclaimed,"Rider Kick!" He pulled the horn of his Kabuto zector,"RIDER KICK!" Electricity traveled through Flare's body and stopped once it reached his right foot. As his foot collided with Maxilla, the Worm exploded and Oculus was sent tumbling back.
Spells took the opportunity and placed his hand on his buckle again,"VERY NICE...SPECIAL...THE BEST!" A fiery silhouette of WizarDragon appeared and merged with Spells's chest, causing WizarDragon's head to appear on his chest. Spells levitated up into the air and WizarDragon's head released a full powered Dragon Breath that obliterated Oculus once and for all.
Flare said,"We're done here. Let's help Shade and Blaze." Spells nodded and the two dashed towards the other riders.
With Shade and Blaze,
The Manticore started off by thrusting its stinger at the riders and swung its right paw at Blaze.
Shade kicked its paw away from Blaze and gave the Manticore a Roundhouse Kick to its face. The two riders then regrouped with Flare and Spells.
Flare turned to Spells and asked,"Spells, do you have any rings that can remove the Nightmare from the Manticore without hurting it?" Spells took out a ring and said,"I just got this ring from a magic stone in the library before I came to help you." He placed the ring on his right hand and placed his hand on his buckle,"PURE...PLEASE!" A red Magical Portal appeared beneath the Manticore. It started roaring in agony as a dark cloud was shot out from its mouth and its eyes returned to normal.
As the Manticore woke up, the dark cloud was no longer in sight and the Manticore quickly sprinted back to the Everfree Forest.
The riders powered down and Spells said,"I'll be heading back to the library now. If you need me, find me there." He teleported away and Flare said,"Let's head back." The three remaining riders soon made their way back to the castle.
Once more in the Everfree Forest, the dark cloud returned to the Everfree castle and the rest of the dark clouds appeared and the dark clouds merged together and turned into a pony.
"Those Alicorns and Phoenix are quite the challenge. I need some help." The pony trotted around the room until she heard a voice saying,"I can help you."(A/N: I made the Nightmare female cause I just felt like making it a 'she'.) She turned around and saw a bipedal being in white with a orange mask and a belt that looked like Spells's belt.
The Nightmare asked,"Who are you?" The being smirked and said,'You can call me...Wiseman." Wiseman sat down on a rock beside him and said,"I can help you because I have a score to settle with one of them." The Nightmare smiled and they heard another voice,"I will help you too." The two turned to look at the being and it said,"I am Dr Maki. And I have a desire to destroy OOO once and for all." Dr Maki was in his Kyouryu Greeed form when he appeared and the Nightmare said,"Those Alicorns will be busy fighting you two and I can finally take over this place once I possess one of the princesses."
