Chapter 6: Battle! Project D vs Dopant!

A/N: Enjoy!

Summary: In the last chapter, we find out that Celestia and Luna are unable to communicate to Project D and vise versa. Apollo Geist has sent a Dopant to search for Project D while secretly planning on resurrecting Project B to help out Project D. Finally, King Solaris discovers that the Lockseed that he had was able to summon an Inves. But can Queen Aurora use it to find Celestia and Luna? We'll just have to see.

"Ugh..." Celestia groaned as she woke up."Where am I?"

As she rubbed her eyes with her hooves, she gasped in realization of where she was in. She looked around the place and saw that Luna was nowhere to be found. Celestia got up from the floor and she trotted around the room, worriedly. She paced from one place to another and yet, she could not seem to find Luna anywhere."Mother's going to kill me if I can't find Luna..." Celestia muttered to herself as she continued to pace.

Just then, she heard a growl and turned to see a Timber Wolf growling at her.

Celestia gasped as she backed away from the wooden creature. Still, the Timber Wolf advanced towards her. Celestia started to panic as she looked around. She spotted a stick on the window and she quickly used her magic to levitate it towards her. She pointed it at the Timber Wolf, trying to intimidate it,"Stay away, Timber Wolf! I mean you no harm."

The Timber Wolf rolled her glowing yellow eyes and knocked the stick aside. Again, Celestia gasped. The Timber Wolf then pointed towards the window and the white Alicorn made her way towards it.

"What do you want me to see?" Celestia asked. The Timber Wolf used her paw to move Celestia's head up. When she looked at the direction that the Timber Wolf pointed to, she saw Luna laughing away as she flew around the tree they were in with their savior flying beside her, supervising the little blue Alicorn. Celestia smiled,"So my sister is alright."

Nodding, the Timber Wolf barked and handed a bowl of water to Celestia. She smiled as she accepted the offer,"Thank you."

The Timber Wolf smiled as she headed out of the shelter with Celestia following after she had finished her drink.

"So this is where you have been staying, right?" Luna asked.

Project D tilted his head in confusion at the question. Then, Project D petted Luna's head, mistaking the question for asking him to pet her. Despite that, Luna seemed to enjoy it a lot. But she enjoyed it even more when Project D scratched her chin and neck. It made Luna giggled happily as she can be. Project D smiled underneath his mouth plate as he continued to show some affection to the blue Alicorn that was resting on his lap.

Then, Thorn climbed onto the tree branch to join them.

Project D smiled,"Thorn, nice of you to join us. How's our other guest doing?" Thorn barked a few times before looking back to see Celestia landing on the tree branch and steadying herself to avoid falling off.

Once Celestia was feeling comfortable on the tree branch, she sighed in relief before approaching Project D to join her sister."I can't thank you enough for saving me and my sister, kind creature. We are forever in your debt."

Again, Project D tilted his head in confusion and Luna spoke,"Celestia, I don't think it could understand us. I've asked him a few questions minutes ago and he didn't reply me. Instead, he just keeps doing this..." Luna gestured her hoof to Project D's hand which was still scratching her chin."Although I must admit, I can't stop enjoying it!"

Celestia chuckled as she sat beside Project D. She turned to Luna and said,"Luna, I think I might know a spell that could allow him to understand us. Father taught me the spell last year and I think I can remember it well." Luna started squealing as she grinned at her sister. Celestia smiled as she got up, surprising the Kaiju when her horn started glowing.

Her glow was soon covering Project D's body and after a while, it disappeared.

Luna asked,"Can you...can you understand us now?" Again, Project D tilted his head in confusion and returned to scratching her chin, causing the little blue Alicorn to giggle."Celestia! You used the wrong spell!"

The older Alicorn was surprised by this. In all her years of training with her father, she had not failed a spell before. How did she fail it now? That question was haunting her mind from that moment forth.

Seeing the distress in Celestia's eyes, Project D started stroking her cheek, gaining her attention. Project D's touch became softer and gentler as his fingers trailed across her cheek. At the feeling of his fingers, Celestia gave a slight blush as she enjoyed the feeling she was having from Project D. Her tail wagged from side to side and she heard a chuckle from Project D's mouth plate.

She looked up and saw that his mouth plate had split open and she saw his smile. Celestia smiled back at him as she laid down on his lap to join Luna, who looked like she was having fun with Project D scratching her chin.

Unknown to them, Project D was enjoying the attention he was receiving from the two Alicorn mares that were lying on his lap. It was also the reason why he showed his smile in the first place. He wanted them to know that he was enjoying their presence. Hopefully, he was doing a good thing.

Then, a gust of cold air blew against them. Both Celestia and Luna started shivering from the cold and their teeth were chattering as fast as they could. Realizing this, Project D immediately unfolded his cloak, revealing his wings and he wrapped them around the two Alicorn fillies, shielding them from the cold and providing them with his body heat. He wrapped his hands around them and brought them closer to him in a hug.

A blush formed on the two fillies's faces as they felt the pair of muscular scaly arms wrapping them. To them, it felt like they were being protected by a knight. A knight in 'scaly' armor to be more appropriate. But to Project D, it somewhat felt like he was hugging two of the most important things in his life. Though he has only alive for a couple of days, he was already starting to regain a few memories of his past and he was developing something that he wasn't supposed to, feelings.

Thorn notices this and pouted as she squirmed into the huddle to get the same treatment as the two fillies. Though she didn't need it, she only got into he huddle because she wanted to spent more time with her new master, the one who rescued her from a life of misery and pain. He was the one who brought her into a new life, a life that she loved more than the one she used to have.

Project D smiled as he brought Thorn closer to him as well. He wanted to enjoy his time with these three more than anything. Thorn was his only companion ever since he woke up in this strange world. Then there was Deer Undead, who he had liberated but was soon sealed off into the Undead card. But it was for the best if he ever wanted to defeat Capricorn and Jaguar. There was also the two fillies he had saved. Though it might seem a little strange to him that these two were capable of speech, he wasn't able to understand them. But it was then when he saved them. He started to develop the feeling of selflessness and kindness. He chuckled to himself as he felt a jolt in his body when he felt Luna bury her muzzle in his wing.

Slowly, Project D started to drift off into a deep sleep.

In his sleep, Project D started having more of his visions again. But now, it was rapidly going in and out of his way.

First, there was one vision that showed his belt and it changed into various kind of belts that looked familiar to him. The next came his gun. This time, he watched as a golden silhouette of himself grabbed the gun and pulled it's hilt backwards, causing a blade to unfold and form a sword. Then there was another one. This one was the last one as well.

It showed Project D battling a Combatmen and as the Combatmen swung his sword, Project D clenched his fist and it seems that time had froze as the Combatmen was frozen in place. Project D walked towards the Combatmen and he raised his hand. Project D placed the palm of his hand on the Combatmen's forehead and a green glow engulfed the Combatmen's eyes.

As Project D removed his hand, he relaxed his other hand and time returned to normal. However, the Combatmen just gazed at Project D momentarily before saluting him.

Now, Project D was surprised by how much power he possessed. He had no idea that such kind of power was at his disposal. He looked down at his hands before looking up, only to see the golden silhouette standing in front of him. Project D remained still for the moment as the golden silhouette walked around him before the glow disappeared to reveal that the silhouette was his rider form.

"Do you have what it takes to bring justice across this land?" The rider asked.

Project D was stunned by the question for a moment but he regained his awareness and replied,"Yes. I...I will do everything I can to help this world. I want to keep Thorn and those two creatures safe from harm. If sacrifice has to be made for that to be possible, I will gladly accept it."

The rider nodded in satisfaction before he spoke,"That's good to hear, Project D. That was a test to test your worthiness as Kamen rider Crusader. Or me to be more simpler. That is why you can transform and that Undead couldn't. Only you, Project D, have a spirit of a justice crusader!"

"Justice crusader?" Project D repeated.

Nodding, the rider replied,"I am Kamen rider Crusader, Project D. The rider who spreads justice to wherever I go. I command the powers of justice itself and its powers. I am the one who gave you your power to liberate any Kaiju as well. You may thank me later if you'd like." He removed his belt and placed it on Project D's waist, causing a strap to form. Crusader started to fade as well."Remember Project D, justice doesn't come that easily. You have to prove it. I will be waiting for you to find that spirit of yours. Till then, you are on your own."

Once Crusader was gone, Project D felt an intense pain in his waist and he looked down to see that the belt was burning up. He screeched in pain but to no avail as the pain continued to grow. He looked down at the belt to see it change into various belts before changing back into the belt he had worn. Project D fell to his knees as he looked around.

Surrounding him were fifteen silhouettes and they had various features to differ them from one another.

Despite that he couldn't see who they were, two words sparked in Project D's mind as he muttered,"Kamen...riders..." His eyes slowly blinked for a few moments and closed completely afterwards.

"Where are you, Project D?"

The Dopant sent by Apollo Geist had been searching for nearly hours since her arrival in the new world. She had searched high and low for signs of Project D but has failed at every attempt.

Now, she had resorted to even using her Gaia Memory's power to try and find him."If I ever find you, Project D, you owe me big time for this."

In the Southern part of Equestria, Rosyuo and Redyue were awaiting Demushu to return from his surveillance.

"Redyue, it seems that Demushu is taking a long time to get here. I'd suggest you go look for him. Perhaps even finding a new member to join us. There are more of us than we would have expected from this world." Rosyuo spoke as he sat on on a boulder. In his hand, a fruit appeared and it wasn't any fruit. It was a fruit from the Forest of Helheim.

As he devoured the fruit, Redyue bowed,"As you wish, my king. I shall go look for Demushu." As she turned and left, she picked up her halberd and continued to exit the room. And when she was out, a Helheim fruit on her halberd glowed. She huffed,"An intruder it seems. Time for a change of plan."

Meanwhile, back in the room, Rosyuo placed the fruit down on a stone table. As his grip loosen, the fruit started glowing intensely in a shade of gold. The fruit then turned transparent with the middle of the fruit still glowing.

Rosyuo removed a seed from the fruit and chanted,"May the Fruit of Knowledge bless its chosen one when he rises above all. Only then, shall this world change into a brighter future." Rosyuo gripped the seed tightly as he tossed it out of the window. The seed landed on the ground below and it was quickly wrapped by the vines of the surrounding trees. He nodded in satisfaction and grabbed the golden fruit from the table.

The fruit then disappeared and Rosyuo sat down again as he gazed at the ceiling, wondering how the future king of Helheim will be like.

Back with Redyue, she was already a distance away from the fort and instead of approaching Demushu's location, she headed towards the intruder's location. She had encountered many intruders before in her time but this time, she felt that the intruder was of something else. As she approached the intruder's location, what she saw surprised her.

In front of her wasn't an intruder. But a whole group of intruders.

Redyue quickly hid behind a tree. Thanks to her green colored skin, she was able to blend in and hid herself from the intruders. She studied them. All of them were equines of different kinds. There were Unicorns, Pegasi and even a mix of both, an Alicorn. And all of them were wearing the exact same kind of armor.

"Guards, I want this forest searched entirely! Make sure you find out what's really going on. Return back here before night and we'll head back to Everfree." The Alicorn spoke.

"Yes sir!" The guards replied in unison as they split up while two remained with the Alicorn.

"Oh? This should be interesting..." Redyue chuckled as she tapped the ground with her halberd a couple of times before heading back to find Demushu. Then, an Elementary Inves appeared as it gave Redyue a look before advancing towards the Alicorn and his two guards.

"Set up the camp here. We could take quite some time before the others return back here." Solaris ordered.

The two guards saluted the Alicorn as they went to get the tent set up.

Solaris used his magic and levitated the Helheim's fruit in his possession and gazed at it,"What kind of monster will this give me?" He started peeling the fruit's skin off and he gasped when he saw the white fruit that laid underneath its skin. Its appearance was mesmerizing to resist. Solaris couldn't help himself as he licked his lips while gazing at the bare fruit that was in front of him.

As his muzzle neared the fruit, he opened his mouth and prepared himself as he was about to savor a fruit that he has never tried before.

Then, a guard screamed,"Ah! Monster!"

Solaris dropped the fruit and turned to the direction the scream came from. He saw one of the two guards galloped away from the tent with panic written all over his face."What is it?! What happened to the other guard?!" The guard shakily pointed a hoof towards the tent and an Inves emerged from it with the other guard in its grip, unconscious and pale with blood gushing out from his cheeks.

"It...it killed him!" The guard cried in horror.

The Inves dropped the lifeless guard's body onto the ground and screeched as loud as it could when it saw the fruit that Solaris had dropped on the ground. It eyed the fruit with a burning desire to devour it itself. Slowly, it approached the fruit.

Solaris noticed this and he quickly grabbed the fruit with his magic. As soon as he did, the fruit changed into a Lockseed. This time, it was a Sunflower. Without thinking twice, the Alicorn opened the lock and from out of nowhere, another Elementary Inves appeared and it stepped in front of Solaris.

"Creature, attack it!" The Alicorn ordered. His Inves turned and nodded before it looked back at its opponent. Both the Inves screeched as they collided with each other after charging into each other. They traded blows with each other, causing sparks to fly across their chests and other parts of their body. In fact, they were evenly matched since Solaris has yet to know how to control the Inves he was using.

"This is going to take a long time..." Solaris grumbled, thinking about the Lockseed he had given to Aurora for emergency.

Noon was approaching and yet, Aurora was having trouble finding her daughters. She had looked around the castle and found no sign of them. She had asked a couple of guards to check the village but they returned with the same reason, they couldn't find the two Alicorn Sisters.

"I'm sorry, your Highness. We've checked every inch of the village and we've found no sign of them." One guard said.

Aurora sighed heavily,"This just can't be happening. First, a weird forest appears and then my daughters are missing. What's next? A hero appears out of nowhere and helps me find my daughters?!" She mentally giggled at the last few words and looked at the guards,"Check the village one more time to confirm your findings. You might have missed a spot or two." The guard nodded as he left the room.

Again, Aurora sighed as she sat on her throne with sadness clouding her face and mind."What am I going to do with those two girls..." Aurora whined as she breathed in and out to calm herself down.

Then, a glow appeared above her and she quickly looked up, only to see a golden silhouette levitating above her. Aurora gasped when she saw the silhouette and she quickly jumped off of the throne. She watched as the silhouette hovered in front of her. It pointed towards the window as it kept its gaze on the Queen."Do you know where my daughters are?" Aurora asked. The silhouette nodded as it hovered towards the window with Aurora following.

Once they were at the window, it pointed towards the forest, surprising Aurora."Don't tell me...they're in the forest?" The silhouette nodded before vanishing.

Now filled with worry and determination, Aurora glared at the forest,"Celestia, Luna, you're about to be in big trouble."

Celestia groaned as she started to wake up from her sleep. She tossed and turned a bit as she flinched at the sun's brightness. The white Alicorn quickly got up from Project D's lap and stretched herself before spreading her wings out as well.

Seconds later, Luna woke up as well and she got up from Project D's lap and made her way towards her sister.

"Sister, how are you feeling?" Luna asked with a smile.

Celestia smiled back,"I'm fine, Luna. I needed that nap. So, are you ready to return back to the castle?"

"Aw...do we have to?" Luna whined as she pouted. She sat down on the branch they were on and glared at her sister,"I'm not leaving here! I like it here better than the castle. We're not allowed to do much in the castle but here, we get to enjoy freedom like our savior does. And he has no one except his Timber Wolf. I'm sure he feels lonely too!"

Sighing, the elder sister petted Luna on her back,"I know you enjoy the freedom and fresh air, Luna. But there is no way we can stay here. Mother and father are probably worried about us now. Look, it's already noon and they probably realized that we are gone. They're probably even out here looking for us for all we know!" She picked up her younger sister with her muzzle and spoke through her teeth,"We have no other choice, Luna. I too wish we could live out here in this open space but we have a family to return to."

A tear fell from Luna's cheek and she started whimpering,"Please, Celestia. May I at least say good bye to him..." Celestia nodded and she dropped her sister, who ran up to Project D's body. She hesitantly moved her right hoof towards her mane and tore a tuft of it. She quickly placed it onto Project D's hand and turned back to face Celestia."It's a gift of remembrance."

"A tuft of mane isn't a good farewell gift, Luna. But I guess it will have to do for now. Let's go before father raises the moon." Celestia grabbed the smaller Alicorn and flew down the tree.

As they landed on the ground, they quietly made their way into the forest.

For hours, they've walked on but still, they had yet to reached Everfree.

"Celestia, are you sure this is the way? I feel like we're heading in the wrong direction" Luna asked, exhausted.

The elder Alicorn froze. It was then she had realized that not only was Luna right, she was also unconscious when Project D brought them back to his shelter. They were completely lost.

Still, they continued to walk on. Then, after walking for another few more hours, they had finally given up all hope.

"Face it, Celestia! I knew we should have stayed with that creature. At least we would have somewhere to stay for the night!" Luna cried furiously as she stomped her hooves.

Celestia sighed,"I know Luna. I'm very sorry for all this. I should have listen to you back there. I guess we should head back now." Luna smiled victoriously as Celestia walked alongside her with a saddened face while making their way back to Project D's shelter.

But then, they heard rustling in the leaves. They looked up and felt no wind. To them, this made a weird tingly feeling that crept onto them as they shivered.

A screech was then heard as a creature emerged from the treetops. It landed on the ground in front of the two Alicorns with its white body standing out from the surroundings. It lifted its head to reveal its menacing bat-like face. By the sides of its head, a pair of bat ears were pointed upwards. Bat wing-like features were also visible around its thighs with a circle in the middle of its body.

It chuckled in a feminine way and spoke,"It seems I have found myself some kids. I suggest you start running or I'll have to kill you both!" She pulled out her curved dagger and sliced the tree beside her, threatening the two Alicorn sisters.

"Celestia, what do we do?" Luna whispered, fear coating her voice.

Celestia was again, shocked by this. The previous day, she and Luna were attacked by two monsters and now, they were attacked again. This time, it was a female monster nonetheless.

The female Kaiju groaned,"If you two are this stubborn, I guess I have no choice but to kill you two." As she dashed towards them, the two sisters screamed at the top of their lungs as they made their escape.

Project D woke up almost immediately when he heard a familiar scream.

He looked down to see that the two Alicorns were no longer sleeping on his laps or anywhere near him. He looked down and felt something in his hand. He opened it up and saw that it was a tuft of blue hair which he knew it was from the blue Alicorn he had saved. Project D quickly got up and jumped down the tree with Thorn, who had just woken up as well.

"Thorn, stay here. I'll go look for them." Project D instructed. The Timber Wolf gave her master an understanding nod as she went back into the shelter. Project D looked around for a moment, seeing that those two weren't around. He sighed as his cloaked unfolded to form his wings. Project D quickly took off into the sky and he started following the sound of screams.

Once he had reached the location, he gasped when he spotted the two Alicorns being chased by another Kaiju. He quickly dove down at them. When he was close, his shadow formed beneath the Kaiju and she looked up, only to be crushed under the weight of Project D's foot.

"You have a lot of nerve trying to attack these girls, Kaiju. What is your business?!" Project D demanded as he picked up the Kaiju and pinned her to a tree. He made a quick glance at the two Alicorns, who had stopped running and had hid behind a bush. He quickly turned back to the Kaiju, expecting an answer.

The Kaiju gasped when she realized who she was facing off against and cried,"Project D?! What are you doing?!"

Hearing his name, Project D tightened his grip on her,"How do you know my name?!"

Groaning in pain, the Kaiju started speaking,"It...It's me! Bat Dopant! Dai Shocker's top assassin! How can you forget me? I thought Shadow Moon programmed all of Dai Shocker's information including mine."

Project D growled as he tossed Bat to the ground. His blade extending our from his wrist and his shield grew larger to match a regular shield."What is this Dai Shocker?! I demand that you explain yourself or I will have to attack!"

Bat scoffed,"It seems you've lost your memories. Or it's because you're testing me of some sort. Still, I won't tell you anything!" She raised her dagger in a defensive stance and leaped onto a tree.

"Then I guess I have no choice then." Project D's blade glowed and he swung his arm, causing a curved energy projectile to be launched from his blade. The projectile sliced through the tree and it fell, knocking Bat down at the same time as well.

As Project D approached Bat, he raised his blade up with its tip pointing at Bat. When he was close, he lowered his guard, thinking that Bat was gone. That was a mistake he regretted as Bat sprung up and slashed his chest with her dagger, causing sparks to fly across his chest and Project D was knocked down.

Snickering Bat spoke,"And I thought the number one rule of fighting is to never let your guard down. You really have lost your memories, haven't you?"

Project D clutched his head in pain as Bat swung her dagger, landing a blow on his forehead. He stumbled back and Bat did a side-kick that knocked Project D down onto his back. His mouth plate quickly separated and he bared his teeth at her as he hissed angrily at her. His wings quickly unfolded from his body and his belt materialized onto his waist.

Bat gasped,"No...when did you get that? Apollo Geist said that those Undeads's signals were lost when they were supposed to deliver that belt to you. How did you get it?"

Ignoring her, Project D screeched and his belt's gem started glowing,"Henshin!" His body was then engulfed by a bright golden light.

Soon, a white suit materialized on him as golden armor parts appeared from thin air and attached themselves onto his wrists, legs and chest. Then, a shield-shaped silver armor was attached to his chest and a blue cross appeared. His helmet appeared next in a color of gold as his visors were blue and the cross attached in between his visors split open as flame erupted out, burning the ground.

The wind blew strongly against him as rainbow sparkles gathered at his back, forming a golden cape. And in his hand, a golden gun materialized.

Remembering his visions, Project D grabbed the gun on his belt strap and pulled it's hilt backwards, causing a blade to unfold and form a sword."CRUSADE SABER, STAND BY!" Project D mentally chuckled to himself as he rested the blade on his shoulder and turned to the Dopant."Remember this, Bat Dopant. If you are going to survive this battle, remember the name of the Kamen rider who roams this land, spreading justice and eradicating evil from every corner. I am Kamen rider Crusader!"

Still hiding behind the bush, the two Alicorns gazed admiringly at Project D as he confidently stood up against the Kaiju that attacked them.

Bat scowled,"This is betrayal! To think that creating you to become our new Kamen rider killing machine. You became A Kamen rider instead! I will destroy you myself!" She pulled out her dagger and charged at Project D. As she swung her dagger, Project D raised his sword to block her attack. Their blades collided with a 'clang' and this repeated itself a few more times before Project D decided to attack.

He blocked another attack from Bat and he pushed the dagger which caused Bat to be off-balanced. Project D then took the opportunity to strike as he swung his Crusade Saber at Bat, slashing across her arms in a 'V' style starting from her left as he slashed her downwards and then her right arm upwards.

Next, he pulled the trigger on the saber's hilt and the gun's firing system kicked in as five beams were shot out and they scored direct hits to various parts of Bat's body.

As she fell, something fell off of her hand. It wasn't her dagger, but it was something else.

Project D picked it up and examined it. It had a white rectangular shaped figure with curvy-lines that ran across the device. In the middle of it, it had an 'S' written on it with 'Spider' below the alphabet. Then, Project D saw a beam of blue light shot out from his belt's gem. It moved up and down the device before it disappeared and the belt changed into a red belt with a slot on the right of the belt.

"Lost Driver?!" Bat gasped."That's...impossible! That kind of Gaia Memory isn't compatible with the Lost Driver."

Again, he ignored her and pressed the button on the Gaia Memory,"SPIDER!" Project D then inserted the Gaia Memory into the Lost Driver's Memory Slot. Waves of energy started erupting from the Memory in circular motions as Project D rested his hand on the Memory."Henshin!" He then pulled the Gaia Memory sideways."SPIDER!"

Brownish-black shards spiraled around his body as they merged with him, forming a new armor as his Crusader armor vanished. As the shards merged to form the armor, four pairs of spider legs materialized on his back and they twitched upon appearing. A small mechanical spider was attached to his right wrist as well. A pair of red visors glowed as he glared at Bat.

The Spider Memory flashed momentarily before Project D spoke,"Now, you shall fear me. For I am the hero that dwells in the darkness. I am...Kamen rider Kumo!"

Bat scoffed,"Do you think you can intimidate me like that?!" She charged at Project D with her daggers raised. Bat swung her dagger but Project D turned, only for the blade to hit one of his spider legs.

Taking advantage of the situation, Project D jabbed his right fist at Bat's stomach, earning a sudden gasp from the Dopant as his mechanical spider electrocuted her.

She was knocked back by the attack she had received and she dropped her dagger as well. Now that she was disarmed, Project D removed his Spider Memory from its slot and inserted it into his mechanical spider,"SPIDER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!" The back of the mechanical spider opened up and dozens of microscopic spider bombs glided towards Bat.

Even as the bombs glided towards her, Bat had completely no idea that they were bombs.

As the bombs neared her, Project D clenched his fist and the bombs detonated, causing explosions to engulf the Dopant.

The flames then died down and Bat stumbled out of the explosion weakly. Seeing this, Project D removed the Spider Memory from the mechanical spider and inserted it into the Memory Slot that was on his right belt strap before pressing the Memory."SPIDER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!" "It seems that you're not done yet. I'll end that for you."

Project D's mechanical spider shot a wed string at Bat that wrapped around her, pulling her closer to him as his spider legs started sparking with electricity. As Bat struggled while being dragged closer to him, she tried tearing the strong but it was impossible. Project D chuckled as he watched her struggle.

Once she was close enough, Project D stretched forwards and his spider legs started striking Bat as fast as they could,"Rider Arachnid Assault!" After a synchronized strike, the spider legs pierced through Bat's body and another explosion was created as Bat was sent crashing a few meters away from Project D.

Then, something the same shape as a Gaia Memory shot out from Bat's chest and she changed back into a human while her Memory broke apart. She gazed up at Project D with pleading eyes,"Project D...please...spare me."

He removed his Spider Memory and he reverted into his Kaiju form. He grabbed the human by her neck and spoke,"I'll let you live, Bat. But your dark soul shall be vanquished." His tentacles emerged from his shoulders and they were jabbed into her chest after he had breathed onto them, causing her eyes to glow green and she gasped from the pain.

She soon dropped to the ground, motionlessly.

Project D picked up her broken Memory and examined it. As he did, it somehow managed to repair itself upon contact with his hand. And as he looked back at the human who had transformed into Bat Dopant, she had gotten up and she was kneeling in front of Project D.

"Master, I am glad to be on your side." She spoke with pride.

Project D's wings wrapped around his body to form his cloak and he signaled the human to stand, which she did. He then presented the Bat Memory back to her, causing her to gasp."Bat Memory! But I thought you destroyed it."

"There's a lot more than destroying things, Bat. Liberating is the word I would like you to use. Now enjoy your freedom. But remember, never let evil have its way." He said.

Bat nodded as she took the Bat Memory and headed back into the forest after inserting the Memory into her body and changing into Bat Dopant again.

When she was gone, Project D turned and saw that Celestia and Luna had gotten out from their hiding spot and they were approached by Project D.

A/N: I'm done for now. Sorry for the previous chapter though. Please review and as always, criticism is allowed.
