Chapter 5: Destiny calls

A/N: Enjoy!

Summary: In the last chapter, we find out that King Solaris and Queen Aurora are secretly growing Lockseeds in the castle without Celestia and Luna knowing. The Undeads sent to help Project D have been eliminated by the one that they were sent to help and sealed off as well when Project D got his hands on the Undead cards and his belt. Could this be the birth of a new rider or another Shocker rider?

Disclaimer: I do not own Kamen rider or My little Pony: Friendship is magic. But of course, I do own my OC for the story.

Luna and Celestia gazed up at their savior. They did not expect Project D to just come out of nowhere and save them. But there he was, standing in front of them in his glimmering armor.

"Wh...who are you?" Celestia asked.

Project D tilted his head at that question as he approached them. A glow engulfed him and the two princesses covered their eyes. When the light disappeared, they removed their hooves from their eyes and gasped when they saw his face, completely insect-like was not what they expected. But from what they had saw, anything was about to become a reality to them, no matter how impossible they might seem.

The Kaiju's wings wrapped around his body, forming his cloak. His blade sheathed itself within his wrist while his shield shrunk in size to fit his hand. Project D's mouth was quickly covered by his mouth plate and his eyes started glowing within the darkness of his cloak. He lifted up a hand and stroked their chins. His mouth plate started vibrating as insect chirps were heard.

Both Celestia and Luna then realized that their savior wasn't able to understand them nor do they understand him. Yet, they were enjoying the attention they were getting from him even though they had just been saved by him.

Celestia soon overcame the Kaiju's playful strokes and she spoke,"I'm sorry but we don't have time to play. Now that we have seen you, we can head back."

Luna pouted,"But sister! We were just saved by this creature! Couldn't we at least stay to learn more about it?"

Shaking her head, Celestia replied,"No, Luna. I promised you that we could see the creature. And we did. Now it is time we head back to the castle. Our parents will be worried if they find out that we're missing. What would they say about us then?"

Before Luna could reply to her sister, she felt her body feeling faint and soon, Luna collapsed onto the ground.

Celestia rushed over to Luna's side and shook her,"Luna! Luna get up! Come on! Don't fool around little sister! We have to go back...now..." By the time she had finished her sentence, Celestia had also collapsed.

Seeing this, Project D sighed,"Those Undeads must have made them weak from running away." He gently lifted the two and placed them on his shoulders before making his way back to his shelter.

"Shadow Moon, it seems that we've lost those Undeads's signals. I fear that they were attacked." Apollo Geist spoke.

Hearing this, Shadow Moon scoffed,"Those Undeads aren't capable of doing anything right. They must have been caught off guard by the inhabitants and lost." He made his way over to his seat and sighed,"I knew we should have sent another Kaiju that's better than the Undead."

Apollo Geist spoke,"But Shadow Moon, Undeads never die. They are only sealed off in their cards. And according to the data, the world we sent Project D to is peaceful. The possibility of those Undeads losing is none. Unless...the data was wrong."

This caught Shadow Moon's attention as he turned his head to Apollo Geist,"Impossible! The data has never been wrong! But it could only be wrong if a sudden change was made after we received the data. Which could mean that...there's another Kamen rider!" He slammed his fist onto the table and shrieked,"The only time I was certain we would win, those Kamen riders had to ruin it! Damn them!"

He turned to Apollo Geist,"If those Kamen riders are planning on liberating Project D, we are doom. Find out what kind of Kamen rider is in that world now! I want to retrieve Project D before it's too late."

Nodding, Apollo Geist replied,"It will be done. I have already sent a reliable Dopant to find out Project D's whereabouts. We will be able to know Project D's location within a day. This particular Dopant I sent needs time to search."

Shadow Moon clicked his tongue,"Whatever. Just give me the location as soon as possible."

As his left the room afterwards, Apollo Geist turned to the computer screen behind him and turned it on. When the screen was on, multiple pictures of Kamen riders fighting their respective Kaijin were displayed. Apollo Geist laughed,"Soon, Project B. You will rise again in no time. Project Bane shall rise again!" He looked over to a picture of Project D and sighed,"Project Destruction, I hope you will eliminate the Kamen rider in your world. But don't worry. Your brother will join you soon enough..."

Across the room, a corpse of a Kaiju was hung in a crossed position. It's face nearly blown apart while most of its limbs were damaged beyond recognition. Not only that, its wings were torn as if a savage beast had laid its hand on the Kaiju. Apollo Geist approached it and bowed at it,"Soon..."

In the infected part of Southern Equestria, the forest that suddenly appeared had started its invasion as it eats away at the residing vegetation. It's mysterious fruits sprouted from its plants and more and more of the inhabitants of the forest have been disappearing lately as well during the few hours of the forest's advancement.

However, as more of the inhabitants turned into weird creatures known as 'Inves', more of Equestria's natural vegetation and inhabitants start to vanish.

And in the heart of the invading forest, was a fort made out of the forest itself. Within that fort, three humanoid beings stood, waiting for something.

"Redyue, have you located the Fruit of Knowledge yet?" The leader of the three asked.

The green one, known as Redyue, shook her head,"Not yet, my king. This world has yet been explored entirely by me. Helheim did appear nearly days ago. I didn't have time to search the whole place for that fruit yet. But it would help if Demushu came along."

"Hey!" The red one, Demushu, cried in protest."You may think I am useless but I'm not! In fact, I have already started an attack."

Both Redyue and the leader looked at Demushu before Redyue spoke,"Demushu! You know King Rosyuo didn't allow you to attack anyone! Why did you start an attack?!"

Demushu chuckled,"Is that what you think? You're wrong, Redyue! I am not the one who is going to attack. It's one of the Inves that will be. I allowed it to wreck havoc to this world to quicken its destruction."

A blast of energy knocked him down and Demushu looked up to see Rosyuo looking at him as he spoke,"Demushu! For disobeying my orders, you shall face your punishment!" With a wave of his hand, Rosyuo released a blast of energy from his hand and Demushu was caught in it. The red Kaiju clutched his head in pain as he fell to his knees and groaned.

Once it was over, Rosyuo bent down,"Let that be a lesson to you, Demushu. I will not tolerate any defiance within my rule!" With another blast of energy, Demushu was sent flying across the room.

Back in Everfree Castle, King Solaris and Queen Aurora, along with some of their guards, had finished clearing up the vines in the Throne Room.

"Solaris, how long do you think the other fruits will change?" Aurora asked.

The king kicked a pile of vine off a window and looked back,"Well, since the first fruit I got was already developing, I would say five hours from now." He picked up the Pineapple Lock and gazed at it with squinted eyes. As he turned it, he saw a button at its side and he used his magic to press it. The lock on the device opened and a crack appeared beside the two Alicorns.

Seeing this, the guards sprang into action. They approached the crack cautiously with their spears raised while a handful of them remained by the King and Queen's sides to protect them in case of danger.

Then, an Inves emerged from the crack. The Inves was entirely brown with a few blue vein-like features that ran across its body. A pair of heavy shoulder pads rested on its shoulders. A pair of antlers were spotted on its head with jagged edges while spikes protruded from its shoulder pads and legs. This was a Shika Inves.

It examined its surroundings, looking at the guards's raised spears and the shocked faces on the King and Queen. It scoffed for a moment before advancing towards the two Alicorns.

The guards acted. One of them lunged forward with his spear raised. Being fast, the Inves dodged the guard's attack and grabbed the tip of the spear before disarming the guard and knocking him down to the ground with its leg. The other guards attacked as well. However, they were no match for the Inves. As they piled onto the Inves, it proved to be stronger as it sent the guards flying in every direction of the room.

Once it was sure that it was safe to advance, it moved towards the two Alicorns.

Solaris immediately stepped in front of Aurora as he glared at the Inves,"I'm warning you, monster. Take another step and you'll regret it!" As if by instincts, the Inves stopped in its tracks, surprising the King."It...it respond to me." He watched the Inves as it remained still throughout the whole time.

"Creature, I command you to return to where you came from!" Solaris cried. Then, he saw his Pineapple Lock open and the crack reappeared. The Inves turned to face the crack and it leaped into it before it closed.

"I...I can't believe it!" Solaris stammered."I was able to command that monster! It must have been this device that allowed me to." He smiled at the Lockseed before looking at Aurora, who had a worried look on her face.

"Solaris, I don't think you should be holding onto that." Aurora spoke with fear in her tone."That thing...it summoned a monster into our castle. That monster defeated our guards without wasting any energy! It's dangerous to have in possession! Think about it! What would happen if it ran wild and hurt Celestia or Luna or maybe even both of them!"

Solaris nodded,"You're right, Aurora. We can't let this monster run wild. Which is why I decided that I will use it only when there's a emergency that requires the monster to help."

Aurora smiled,"Thank you for considering it. Now, I'll go get our daughters. It's time for breakfast." As she headed out of the room, she made her way to Celestia's room.

While she was away, Solaris looked towards the guards,"It's alright now. Go back to your posts. There might be trouble if we're not prepared." The guards nodded as they left the room. Once everypony was gone, Solaris took out the Pineapple Lockseed and looked at it."Just how many of those monsters are there? If we could get them all, we could stand a chance against the mysterious force."

Just then, Aurora burst into the room with a worried and shocked expression on her face,"Solaris! The girls are gone!"

"What?!" Solaris cried.

As Aurora stopped in front of Solaris, she spoke,"I went to get them in Celestia's room where she and Luna were staying together for the night. But they weren't there. So I went to Luna's room and they weren't there either. They're gone, Solaris! They could be anywhere by now!"

Then, a guard came into the room as well with the same expression as Aurora."King Solaris! Queen Aurora! It's terrible news! The Southern part of Equestria, it's...it's changing! It's changing into something horrendous! You have to do something about it!"

Aurora turned back to Solaris,"What do we do, Solaris? First our daughters vanish and now the Southern part of Equestria is changing. How are we going to solve this?"

Solaris turned to the guard,"You, I want you to gather the Elite Guards. We will head over to the Southern part of Equestria." The guard nodded and galloped off to get the Elite Guards and Solaris turned to his Queen,"Aurora, you will go and find our daughters. Check the village and see if they are there. And take this with you..." He handed her the Pineapple Lockseed.

"But Solaris, are you sure the creature will obey me?" Aurora asked.

Nodding, Solaris replied,"Yes. It will obey you. Just put your heart and soul into the device when you open it. I'm sure it will obey you." Aurora nodded as she watch Solaris gallop off.
