Hey guys, Mil here. So, right now, I am actually doing something different. The whole thing with Gaim happened in the last week of September, so now, the story is set in October, perfect for Ghost to appear, but I'm actually combining the Ghost arc with Drive, as I felt Drive got shafted in the series. So, time for a double Rider return.
Kamen Rider Zi-O: Friendship Time
Chapter 16: Eyes Open! Why are there Roidmudes and Gamma?!
Canterlot High*
A week had passed since the whole conflict with Gaim. Vinyl had joined the club, gaining the skills of Gaim too.
Sougo was reading a book in the library, thinking about the events that happened.
*flashback*
After the defeat of Another Gaim, everyone went to celebrate at Sugarcube. Kouta gifted Vinyl his Team Gaim sweater, with the samurai drawing on the back.
"Wait. This is yours, Kouta. I can't take it."
"Well, I feel that you should hold onto it. I want you to make the team proud. Can you do that?"
"Well, I mean, I can."
"Then it's yours, cuz. Keep rocking and bopping as a DJ."
"You got it."
After that, the next day, everyone left on the private jet of Yggdrasill. Everyone waved at the departing plane.
*flashback end*
Sougo was roused from his reading by Twilight. She had a very excited look on her face.
"Oh, hey, Twilight. What's going on?"
"Come with me. I wanna show you something cool."
"Uh, ok-AAAHH!" Sougo was dragged by the excited girl, as they went to the automotive class.
"TWILIGHT! STOP!" Sougo suddenly stopped, and fell on his face.
"Alright, why are we here?" Geiz asked.
Sougo got up, and saw that the whole club was there, their newest member Vinyl wearing her newest jacket.
"Yeah, Twi."
"Well, I called you all here because I made some upgrades to most of our arsenals."
"Really?" Rainbow asked.
"Well, more work-in-progress, but I upgraded all our drivers so they won't break over our uses. And, I've been looking into incorporating the Elements into them too."
"Cool!"
"But, for now, Geiz, Sougo, I upgraded your bikes." She then showed two sheets covering their bikes. "I had some help."
"What upgrades?"
"Well, Ms. Tomoko told me that most Kamen Riders use their bikes in attacks."
Tomoko suddenly appeared behind her, wearing a mechanics jumpsuit, and holding a wrench.
"Wait. Kamen Riders use their bikes? Don't they worry about them breaking?" Sougo asked.
"Actually, many of their bikes are super tough, so only a really strong monster could break them." Tomoko said.
"Yup. Now, feast your eyes on…the RideStriker Mark II!" Twilight then took off the sheets, showing the bikes.
While Sougo's hadn't changed much, Geiz's bike actually was changed to match his rider colors, the watch on the front was changed to a military style design, and the katakana on the back wheel was changed to hiragana, 'ばいく'.
"Uh, Twi, you didn't really change my bike." Sougo said.
"Not physically for you, but I did change for Geiz because the colors clashed with him. Anyways, the more important part is where the steering is."
Twilight pointed to an open slot on the dash. It appeared to be based on the open slot on his sword.
"Wait. This?"
"Yup. I got this idea from your weapons. I figured, if you can use Ridewatches on weapons, why not on bikes? Ramming attacks are pretty effective at taking out a horde of baddies."
"Wow. That actually seems pretty cool. Now, about us?"
"Well, if you guys saw Pinkie, I made that from the schematics of the Astroswitches, but imbued it with her Element."
"Well, that seems mighty dandy. But, Ah'm guessin' you got somethin for Dash?" Applejack asked.
"Yup. A Mission Memory imbued with her Element." Twilight then pulled up a 3D model of Faiz. "When inserted, this is what can happen."
She pressed a button, and showed a new form, similar to Axel form, but the lines were changed to a rainbow color as the whole suit gained a light blue color scheme. The eyes on the element also gained a rainbow effect too.
"I call Faiz Loyal Dash Form. Similar to Axel Form, I took the 10 second timer, and upgraded it to 30 seconds. Now, Dash, no one knows about us being Riders, so don't use this form too much."
"Sweet! That is so awesome!"
"Yeah."
"Now, while these are the only upgrades I've been able to complete, they haven't been fully tested yet."
"Well,these are cool, but should we be worried about all this tech in the school? I'm worried about those Jacker guys finding this out." Sunset said.
"I think we would know if they were here. I've installed alarms that will sound off if a Jacker enters the school."
"I'm worried what Rider they'll use for their schemes." Sougo said.
Jacker hideout*
"Ok, I'm gonna say it." Heure said. "Zi-O and his gang of Riders are cool. But that means we need to do something drastic."
"I'm afraid to say it, but you're right." Aura agreed.
"What we need to do is throw a curveball at Zi-O and his cronies. Something they couldn't anticipate."
"Uh, like what?" Tid asked.
"Maybe, I don't know, make two Another Riders at once?"
"Yeah. We're not limited to just making one at a time. Now, which Kamen Riders should we use?"
"What are you all doing?" Finis asked.
"Trying to come up with a plan? Unlike, say, you?" Heure said.
"A plan? Don't make me laugh, kid."
Well, you haven't exactly pulled your weight either, Finis." Tid said.
"This coming from the couch potato?"
"What is going on?" Swartz asked, entering the room.
"The kid has a plan, Swartz."
"Really? What is it?"
"We are gonna throw a curveball at Zi-O by making two Another Riders. The problem is that I can;t think of who to use."
"Easy. Kamen Rider Ghost and Kamen Rider Drive."
"Wait. Why those two?"
Swartz gave a malicious smirk. "They have history. And what better way for us than to distort that history."
"Well, good. Now, we need some targets." Heure said.
"I think I can also help with that. Follow me."
Everyone followed him as they entered the silver veil.
Soon, everyone made it out, and they entered a new place. The most striking feature though was the blood red sky.
"Where are we?" Heure asked.
"The World of the Gamma, the enemies turned allies of Kamen Rider Ghost." Swartz said. He then heard fighting. "And at the moment, the final fight of Kamen Rider Specter and his creator."
"Huh?"
They all went to where Swartz was standing, and saw two figures fighting it out.
The first figure was a Kamen Rider, Specter, they thought judging by the driver on his waist, which had an orange lever on the right side,a cloak ghost design, with a single eyepiece, and some sort of tall eyeball device inside. The rider had light blue armor with sharp pointed lines going on the arms and legs over a silver bodysuit. He wore a cloak that went down to his knees, with some infinity-style shoulder and armor on the cloak, as his helmet had a clear piece covering the top with two rainbow colored horns jutting out, and his face was made up of sharp lines.
The monster he was fighting had black armor on its legs, arms and chest, the chest armor designed on an eyeball, as the right shoulder had a single piece of armor, as the head had a single golden eye in a black helmet.
"Why are we here?" Tid asked.
"This."
[Sin Dai Kaigan! Envy Slap!]
Specter summoned an energy hand from his weapon, and slapped the monster, who then punched away.
[Sin Dai Kaigan! Lust Bullet!]
He then summoned numerous energy rifles to fire at it, but it regenerated itself.
"Wow. That thing can tank those attacks." Aura said.
"Yes. But, look there." Swartz pointed to a group of men, wearing tattered clothing, who were watching the fighting too.
"Who are they?" Heure asked.
"Followers of Danton." Swartz said.
"So, we're here for this Danton, or them?"
"Let's watch the ending of this." Swartz said.
[Sin Dai Kaigan! Gluttony Bite!]
Specter then did a kick attack, summoning a giant mouth on his legs that bit down.
[Sin Dai Kaigan! Pride Fist!]
He then let out multiple punches, but the monster stopped the attacks, and punched him away.
"Man, that monster is really putting up a fight." Heure said.
Specter then summoned a short sword, then charged it with blue energy as he gave a slash.
[Sin Dai Kaigan! Greed Slash!]
He then gave two more slashes, and switched the sword it a gun mode.
[Sin Dai Kaigan! Wrath Flame!]
He fired multiple flame blasts, but the monster was too fast for him. The monster gave a powerful punch that sent Specter flying, breaking rocks on impact.
"You fought for humanity's future and freedom." Specter said. "I acknowledge your strength to carry on your beliefs."
"Wow. This is lame." Heure said.
"I will carry on the wills of all my fathers!" Specter got into a pose with both fists back as blue wings emerged from his back as flew up. A light flew up as it completely changed the color of the sky to blue.
"Okay. That is something you see with Riders."
Specter then pulled and pushed in the lever, as an emblem appeared behind him.
[Sin Dai Kaigan! Sin Specter! Deadly Omega Drive!]
"I will show you my way of life!" Specter's foot was glowing with blue energy as he delivered a powerful kick at the monster.
"Come then, my son!"
Specter then made contact, as the kick let off a powerful explosion. Specter stood in the fkames, as his henshin was canceled, revealing a man in his early twenties, wearing a blue and black biker outfit.
He turned and walked towards an older man, possibly middle aged, wearing an ornate outfit, with some gold pattern, on his knees huffing. He fell into the young man's arms.
"I've finally seen…your way of life…" He then looked at the sky. "A blue sky…is a lovely change…"
The older man then faded into blue light and disappeared.
"Well, that was heart pounding. So, I'm guessing that was Danton?" Tid asked.
"We never came for him. We came for them."
They saw the men run away into a cave. Swartz summoned a veil, as they walked through it.
In the cave, the three men were shaken at what happened. Their savior was destroyed.
"Robes, what do we do?" One asked.
"I don't know, but we can't stay here." Robes said.
"He's right. We need to have a plan right now."
"Muller, we need to gather the clones that are leftover."
"Kamiyu, where's Joudan?"
Coming in, another man in rags came in. "Here."
"Joudan, are the clones salvageable?"
"Not the Rion clones, but I manage to save 5 Mion clones."
"What about the Eyecons?"
"I only manage to scrounge up three, but they should help."
"What about you?"
"I'll figure out something. More importantly, we must continue with Danton's work. Our only obstacle is Rion, and his allies."
"Yes, but how can we stop them?"
"Maybe we can be of service."
They all turned to Swartz and the Time Jackers coming out of a veil.
"Who are you?"
"We're the ones who can help you get revenge on the one who killed your master. That is, if you want it."
"Of course we do! Our master's work means everything!" Joudan said.
"Good. Then, do you accept it?"
"Yes!" They all said.
"Good. Follow us."
Swartz summoned a veil, and everyone walked through it.
As soon as everyone walked out, they were now in a construction site, but saw that it was another fight.
"Where are we now?" Heure asked.
"The final battle of Kamen Rider Drive vs the Paradox Roidmude."
They saw a golden monster fighting off a Kamen Rider, Drive, they thought, wearing dark blue armor over a yellow suit, the most outlandish part being the red tire that went across from the left shoulder to the right hip, as the belt was designed on a car gauge, and a small wrist device on the left hand, with a small car locked in.
Drive had summoned an axe weapon, and did four slash attacks, then discarded it, as he and the monster both punched each other, but then Drive did an uppercut that sent the monster flying, as he turned a key on the driver, and a button on the wrist device, and moved the car up.
[Hissatsu! Full Throttle! Special!]
Just then, speeding past the Time Jackers and followers was a high tech Mercedes, as it actually flew into the air, and created a huge energy sphere to trap the monster.
Drive then leaped into the air as he coated his foot in yellow lightning as he kicked into the monster, it roared in pain as it exploded, Drive falling down as the car drove next to him.
As that happened, an unseen orange field was dissipated, and everyone felt time move normally.
"So, what just happened?" Aura asked.
"Drive stopped the Paradox Roidmude from controlling all of time." Swartz said.
They then saw him take out the car, and pressed a button, canceling his form, to reveal a disheveled man in his early twenties, wearing black slacks, shoes, a white shirt with a red tie, and a black jacket with rips all over. He also had some bruises on his face, as his hair was unruly.
"Nice Drive!/Nice Drive!"
They saw that a face came out of the driver itself. It laughed along with the man, as a woman in a police uniform was helping a younger man wearing a white hoodie walk.
"You did it, Shin-neesan!" The younger man said.
"We all did it, Go."
"Thank you for helping me regain myself, everyone." The belt spoke.
As they talked another person walked up, a man about the same age as Go, wearing an all purple biker outfit.
"Yes, now let us go."
"Chase is right. We need to repair all the items that were destroyed by Paradox."
"Right, Belt-san. Everyone, in the Tridoron." The man said, as they all entered the Mercedes, and drove off.
"Well, that was fun. But what now?" Finis asked.
"Now? We gain Paradox."
"Uh, boss? He's kinda, you know, dead?" Tid pointed out.
"I have a remedy for that." Swartz then pulled a bat looking car. "This is a Viral Core. In essence, they keep the souls of Roidmudes and can reform them. This one was specially made for Paradox. Observe."
As he raised his hand, particles began to swirl around him as they all went into the car, turning it from plain gray to the colors of gold and black.
"Now we have what we need. Let us go."
As he summoned a veil, everyone walked through said veil, but someone watched them walk in.
"So, these are the aforementioned Time Jackers." The person said, showing an older man in a beige trenchcoat. "I fear that they will bring the end of the world like Decade can do."
He summoned his own veil, and walked through, focusing on what he needed to do.
*Sparkle House*
After school, Sougo and everyone had made it to Twilight's house, due to her calling for them. As he went up to the door, it was opened by an older woman, looking much like Twilight, wearing a white shirt and blue jeans, an apron on her.
"Oh! Sougo, Twilight's waiting for you outside."
"Arigatou, Velvet-san."
As he went to the back door, he went to the shed of the house, but it was a facade as an elevator door opened, and he went in.
As he went down, he was met with a big lab, and everyone inside was waiting for him.
"Sorry, Uncle needed some help real quick."
"It's ok, I was just finishing fine tuning this Gashat for Daisy." Twilight said, working on the item.
"So, what's the announcement, Twi?" Sunset asked.
"Well, after some research with Miss Tomoko, I found out that some Riders used the powers of past Riders from time to time."
"Like me and Geiz using the Armors?" Sougo asked.
"Exactly. For example, I looked up and saw that Genm Corp made some 'Legend Rider' Gashats, and used the data from other Riders."
"Seriously?" Daisy asked.
"Yeah, and so, after getting a Gashat creation machine from Emu, I was able to manufacture some Gashats."
"Wait. Did you make one for Gaim before we fought?" Sougo asked.
"I looked up some battle information, and implanted them into the Gashat." Twilight said, taking out said Gashat from a machine. "Here, try it out."
"Now?" Daisy asked.
"Yeah. I'm working on many things right now, so this is a good time to test it."
"Um, ok." Dais took the item, and pressed the button.
[Toukenden Gaim!]
A game screen appeared as orange energy filled the lab. Suddenly, the Orange Arms armor came out from a crack on the game screen.
"Dai Henshin!" Daisy then inserted the Gashat, and opened the driver.
[Gashat! Gachan! Level Up!] A Select screen ring appeared, as she selected the image of Gaim, and a transformation screen appeared and went over her, the armor forming onto her as the transformation was complete.
[Tokenden-den-den-de-de-den! Fruits Chambara!]
Ex-Aid stood in a new suit, the bodysuit being all black with the three stripes on the left turning silver, the chest armor changing to show an image of the Orange Arms, the shoulder pads turning a chrome orange, the armor on the lower arms and legs becoming a shiny gold color, the boots turning a dark blue, as the helmet was shaped to resemble Gaim's helmet, with the golden sword emblem, but still kept the goggle glasses and jaw piece. The back piece showed a giant Gaim face.
"Wow. That looks cool."
"Yeah." Vinyl said.
"So, can you sword fight like Gaim?" Sougo asked.
"Yeah. Are there others you made?" Ex-Aid asked.
"A couple. Uh, here's one on Fourze."
A new Gashat was tossed, as it showed an image of Fourze. "Alright, let's test it out."
[Space Galaxy Fourze!] A new game screen appeared.
"Dai Henshin!"
Ex-Aid took out the Gashat, and inserted the new one, closing and opening the driver.
[Gashun! Gashat! Gachon! Gachan! Level Up!]
A new screen passed over her as steam exited out of the suit.
[Rocket! Rocket! Switch On! Space! Space! Galaxy Fourze!]
The new suit kept the same design, but the chest armor changed the image to Fourze's chest armor, the shoulder pads turning to a shiny white, as the armor on the arms and legs turned white too, the boots turning white. The helmet changed to resemble Fourze, keeping the goggles and jaw piece, as the back helmet had Fourze's face.
"Ok, this is a nice change." Pinkie said.
"Yeah. I feel like yelling at the top of my lungs."
"Ok, testing is good for now." Twilight said. "You can keep those, as we'll probably be needing them for our future fights."
"Are there more of those you made?" Daisy asked, canceling the form.
"Yeah, but they're still in the experimental phase."
"Ok, so now that we're here, I need to say something." Sougo said.
"Uh, ok?"
"Ok. So, we know that the Time Jackers have been taking the powers of Kamen Riders, and using them for the Another Riders."
"Yeah, we know." Sunset said.
"So, we need to take in account what Riders are gonna be targeted, and figure out who might be next."
"And how?" Geiz asked.
"Miss Tomoko gave me a list of Riders."
Sougo took a Whiteboard, and wrote down the names of the riders that could be next.
"So far, they took the powers of Build, Ex-Aid, Faiz, Fouze, Wizard, OOO, and Gaim. That's 7 of the 19 Heisei Riders."
"Right." Rainbow said.
"Right now, somehow, they've all been coming here. So, we need to monitor the Riders that are here."
"I see what you're thinking." Twilight said. "If they're coming here or already here, we can get to them before the Time Jackers do."
"But we need to predict who they'll go after." Tsukuyomi said.
"Well, that's why we have the alarms. They can detect attacks when they begin."
"Right. So, we need to find those Riders."
"Well, actually, I wanted to do some testing with those armors."
"What testing?" Geiz asked.
*Time Jacker hideout*
Meanwhile, at the same time, the Time Jackers had returned with their newest allies. Swartz had the Viral Core in hand.
"So, we got the people. Now what?" Heure asked.
"Allow me."
Swartz gathered energy into the Core, and threw it up. The Core then spun around, as a body began to form around it.
In a few seconds, the Roidmude body was formed, as the head was shaped like a skull, the body gaining a dark gray-black color, as the piping on the chest was golden, as the plate on his chest had the number 108.
"Where…Where am I?"
"Welcome back, Roidmude 108." Swartz said.
The robot turned to Swartz, seeing the humans there behind him.
"Who are you?"
"My name is Swartz. I was the one who brought you back."
"Brought me back?"
"Yes. You were, unfortunately, defeated by Kamen Rider Drive."
"What?! No! That can't be!"
"Reach your memories."
As the robot searched, he had remembered starting the Global Freeze, but then he remembered.
"Damn you, Shinnosuke Tomari! You and your allies have destroyed me and my kind!"
"Yes, but I can give you the power to do what you need to."
"What power?! Give it to me!"
"You will, but first." He then turned to the group. "Thank you all for coming. It's time that we throw a curveball at Sougo Tokiwa."
"We already know." Aura said.
"Yeah, making two Another Riders." Heure added.
"Yes, but now, we have a significant advantage. Because Drive and Ghost have history, Zi-O will no doubt need to gain the powers of Drive and Ghost."
"One problem. Geiz has those powers already."
"That's a bridge we will cross when we get there. Now, tell me, why do you want this power?" Swarzt asked the group of men and one robot.
"We want revenge on Rion for killing Danton."
"I want vengeance against Drive."
"Good. Now, allow me to present your new powers." Swartz then summoned two watches, and imbued them with the powers.
"Those things will give us power?" Joudan asked.
Swartz said nothing, and activated them, purple energy coming off of them.
[G̵̼̻̺̔͒̕͝h̶͓̥̫̄͛̂̔o̴͍̍͊s̶͎͋̏͝t̴̬̤̘͈̂͂̚!̸͙͗̔]
[̷D̷̻̖̓̔r̴͉̲̃͌i̸̥̕v̴̡͙͓͎̎̇e̸̡̹̳͝!̴̟͚̯̀̃]
He then thrusted them into Joudan and 108's chests, purple swirling vortexes surrounding them and changing their bodies. Suddenly, four shadowy parkas flew around Joudan, enveloping him in darkness, as orange light glowed from him, while two red tires surrounded 108 as they slammed down, exhaust coming out, as both transformations were complete.
"Now, let's show them what they can't do."
*nighttime, Sougo's bedroom*
Sougo was resting on his bed, asleep, but tossing and turning. He was making faces, and seeing something that was freaking him out.
*mindscape*
Sougo woke up, staring into a darkened room. He appeared to be alone.
"Hello?" Sougo called out. "Anyone here?"
He then squinted his eyes, and saw some figures standing far from him.
"Excuse me! I don't know where I am!"
The figures stood still, not responding to his calls. He tried waving his arms but had no effect.
"What is going on?"
"You cannot see them, for they have not been created." A voice said.
"Ahh! Who said that?"
"Their timelines have not appeared yet."
"Wait. Timelines?"
"Yes, Sougo Tokiwa. Your power is still limited, but with time, you will create their times. And more will soon come after."
"How will I know?"
"You will know. Before I go, I will impart two riddles to you."
"Riddles?"
"Yes. The first is: 'The elected grasshopper will come onto a storyteller dragon, as a demon befriends a dinosaur, and the clever fox will fight with the alchemical locust.'"
"Ok?"
"The second: 'When the new time has begun, the blade will come unto the right answer and with the steeled heart, will they create the powers of courage.'"
"Ok, I think you lost me."
"They will be answered in time, Zi-O. Be warned, for they will come true."
"Wait!"
As he was still asleep, downstairs, a veil appeared as a person walked to the watchtower.
"Sorry, Zi-O, but you need to earn these powers." The person said, holding out two cards over the Ghost and Drive watches. They glowed as the essence of the two were being sucked into the cards. After a couple seconds, the watches were now blank. "Let's hope they come to you."
With that, the person then entered the veil again, and disappeared.
*morning*
Sougo woke up, and walked down stairs for breakfast. The dream was still bugging him, but he would think about it later.
As he walked past the watch holder, he paused and walked over, seeing the blank watches that held the powers of Ghost and Drive.
"Ok, that isn't good."
"Sougo?" Tsukuyomi called as she entered. "What's wrong?"
"Tsukuyomi, how did Geiz get the Drive and Ghost watches?"
"He stole them from Oma Zi-O. Why are you asking about them?"
"That."
She saw where he pointed, and found that there were blank watches that were once the Drive and Ghost watches.
"Sougo? What happened to the watches?"
"I do not know. I am afraid of what Geiz will do."
Just then, Geiz walked past the two as he went to breakfast.
"What are you two doing?"
"Nothing." Sougo said nervously.
Geiz didn't believe him, and looked at the watch holders. He noticed that out of all the watches, there were two that were blank. He then saw that the blank watches were the Ghost and Drive watches. Seething, he grabbed him by the shirt collar.
"What did you do?"
"I-I didn't do anything! I swear!"
"Then why are the watches blank?!"
"I don't know! They were like that!"
"Geiz, stop it! There has to be a reason!"
As they were arguing, no one noticed that the watches glowed a bit before simmering down. Junichiro came in, hearing the commotion.
"What's going on here?"
"Nothing, Uncle."
"Well, I made pancakes,a dn I don't want you to go hungry for school."
"Ok." Sougo said as he saw his uncle go back. "Look, I had nothing with the watches, so let's eat and talk with Twilight at school."
Geiz relented. "Fine. But now, we're down two watches."
Sougo nodded, but he had no idea why they became blank. As he went to eat, the blanks glowed again, but stopped.
*CHS, later*
As the three made it to school they met up with the girls, hoping to figure out their dilemma.
"This has never happened before?" Twilight asked, looking over the watches.
"No, not that we know of." Tsukuyomi said.
"Well, let's take a quick scan." Twilight then took out a scanner, and went over the two watches. "Huh, it seems that they still hold a small portion of their previous powers."
"Really?"
"Yes." Twilight said. "But, there is some sort of energy block that's preventing that until those powers are back."
"Well, ain't that dandy." Applejack said sarcastically.
"Yeah, not to bring the mood down, but now we can't really worry about that. You know, because these things aren't gonna pop up here." Rainbow said.
Just then, all their phones began to vibrate, as they read what was going on.
"And I had to open my mouth." Rainbow deadpanned.
As everyone left, no one took notice of a silver veil passing through the room, disappearing before leaving a locked case on the table.
People were running scared, screaming in fear as the students came in on their bikes.
"Ok, what is causing all this?!" Geiz asked.
"Look!" Twilight pointed at a large army.
The army consisted of two units: the first unit consisted of robotic beings, and they were based on animals, with some having bat wings on their heads, some had large hoods that resembled a cobra hood, and the rest didn't have a distinct head design, but the tubes on the chest resembled spider legs.
The second unit had black bodies, with a gold belt that had an eyeball as a buckle, with blank faces, hoods, and silver boots, while wielding silver short blades.
"Ok, when did zombies and robots coexist?" Pinkie asked.
"Uh, I don't know if those hooded guys are zombies." Sunset said.
"No, I'm talking about the zombie in a leather jacket, and the robot that looked like the victim of a car crash." Pinkie pointed out.
"Wait, what are you-oh, my Celestia."
The group then saw two monsters walking out of the army. Pinkie was correct in her description of the two.
The first one resembled a cadaver, with it wearing black stitched leather, the shoes having an opening for the toes,as the arms appeared peeled back, showing some veins with metal wrist cuffs. The chest had a giant orange eye as a strange belt was around its waist, a small single eye poking out. It wore a spiked leather jacket with a hood, and its face was an orange color, with back eyes, a mouth that showed its teeth, and a giant horn sticking out its forehead, and with hair coming out the sides. On the back of the jacket was written 'Ghost' and '2015'.
The second one looked like it was in a demolition derby, as its entire body looked crushed. The red armor on the chest and shoulders were crushed, the right shoulder looking more bulky than the left, as what looked like a brake disc jutted out the shoulder, and in white was 'Drive' and '2014'. The right arm armor was spiky and crushed, while the left arm had a broken door strapped to it, yellow tape staying 'Keep Out' on it. The leg armor was red, and the belt looked like a speedometer, as wires were dangling off. The head resembled a helmet, but the front looked like a robotic face, the left eye lens hanging off the side as the spoiler looked damaged.
"Ok, did someone order a double apocalypse scenario?" Sunset asked.
"Get Zi-O!" Another Ghost groaned out.
"Need Drive and Ghost!" Another Drive grunted.
The grunts then rushed the teens, the robots firing energy bullers from its fingers. They all dodged from them.
"Damn it! We can't let these guys hurt anyone!" Geiz said.
"We need a distraction!" Twilight said.
"I got one!" Pinkie said, a pie in her hand. "Hey, how about a pie?!" She then threw the pie, which then exploded into little pieces that one on all of them.
"How did that-?!"
"Geiz, it's Pinkie Pie, don't question it." Tsukuyomi said.
"Sougo, go!"
"Right!"
[Zi-O![Gaim!]
"Henshin!"
[Armor Time! Soiya! Gaim~!]
Zi-O GaimArmor took out two Daidaimaurs and began slashing the black body henchmen, black goo coming out.
"These things aren't going down!" Zi-O said, then got shot in the back. "Ow! That isn't fair!"
"Right. Henshin!"
[Complete!]
Rainbow transformed into Faiz, and took out the new watch. She strapped it to her wrist.
"Rainbow, remember what I said. It's still in the testing phase."
"Well, I guess this is a good time to test it." Faiz said, Faiz Edge in hand. She took out the memory, and looking at it, inserted it into the slot on the phone.
[Complete!]
In a flash, the entire suit turned to a sky blue coloring as the lines on the suit turned a bright white. However, as the chest had opened up, the armor actually moved to the back, as colorful Photon Blood energy formed into energy wings, and the eyes gained a rainbow scheme.
"Wow. that looks cool."
"Time to get serious." Twilight strapped on her belt, and took out her new bottles.
[Alicorn! Taiyo! Best Match!]
Twilight cranked the handle as the Snap Builder appeared, and was filling with fluid.
[Are You Ready?!]
"Henshin!" She yelled as the armor slammed onto her.
[TaiyoCorn! Yeah~!]
Build then flew and fired small balls of fire at the grunts. Pinkie, Fluttershy, Rarity, and Geiz all strapped their belts on, and took out their items.
"Let's try to minimize both injuries and property damage." Rarity said, sliding the Water ring.
"Right. Henshin!"
[Rider Time!]
[Water! Please!]
[Taka! ToraI Batta! Ta-to-ba!]
Immediately, they transformed, and began fighting back. Daisy came running in, driver on.
"Oh man. Time for a new game." She pulled out her Gashat, but a yellow one too. "Let's go old school."
[Mighty Action X!] [Pac Adventure!]
Two screens appeared, the 'Mighty Action X' screen, and a screen that resembled Pac-Man.
"Wait. Where did you get Pac-Man?" Faiz asked.
"Spare time."
"Dai Henshin!"
She inserted both and opened the driver, spouting out two screens from the center.
[Gachan! Level Up! Mighty Action X! A Gaccha! Pac Pac Pac-kun Adventure! Pac! Pac! Pac-Man!]
As the screens passed over Daisy, the suit and suit were formed at once. While the base suit stayed the same, the armor appeared to be a gold and orange version of the Robot Gamer armor, with the headpiece also a recolor, but the hands had boxing gloves on instead.
"Nice! Time for some Pac Power!" Ex-Aid then ran and began to punch the robots and ghouls.
Tsukuyomi fired from her Faizphone X, but noticed it didn't do much, so she switched it to Burst Mode.
[Burst Mode!]
She then fired more powerful blasts that knocked some of them down.
"Dang it, this isn;t enough."
Applejack didn't have much trouble, as her super strength helped knock down some grunts. She then picked one up single handedly, and chucked it at some.
"Ya know, I've been wonderin' 'bout sumthin. Why don't ya have a Rider Form, Tsuki?"
"Because I have no Ridewatch for me. All the ones we have are only to save the powers of the past Riders."
"That's dumb. You should have one too." Sunset said.
"Maybe we can get a blank one, and make it for you."
Just as she said that, he was suddenly hit by something fast, as well as Applejack and Tsukuyomi.
"Ow! What the-?!"
Applejack got back up, and then was slammed into again, but she kept her. As the object came again, she got into a stance, and caught what was ramming into them.
"Gotcha!"
"Must get Drive!"
Another Drive then pushed her away, and summoned numerous tires from the brake disc, and fired at them.
"Oh crap!"
Just then, Ex-Aid came in and punched the monster back. She dodged and punched, but got shot at from the door shield.
"Man, this isn't working!" She said, then saw a yellow orb appear in front of her. "Wait. pac man gets his powers from orbs. Time for pac power!"
She summoned an apparition of Pac as it swallowed the orb, giving her enhanced power. She then gave two powerful punches, and sent the monster back.
Meanwhile, Another Ghost had unleashed more shadowy beings from its body, and caused them to crash into the Riders.
"Dammit! We can't fight like this!" Geiz said, fighting the grunts. He then took out his watch, and inserted it into his axe.
[Finish Time!] The ax blade then glowed with red energy. [Geiz! Zakkuri Cutting!] Geiz then performed a spinning slash that got them all instantly, while the afterimage of a clock appeared.
Zi-O switched his weapon to gun mode and loaded his watch.
[Zyu! Finish Time!] He aimed at Another Ghost, who was occupied with Faiz, Fourze and Wizard.
"Girls! Move out the way!" He said, the barrel charging with pink energy.
The riders heard that, and moved out the way.
[Zi-O! Sure Sure Shooting!] Zi-O fired a blast that took the form of a clock, as it exploded on contact with Another Ghost.
"Alright, time for some speed." Faiz said.
"Dash! Wait!"
Faiz pressed the button on the watch. [Start Up!] In a flash, the countdown started, and suddenly everything stood still.
"Whoa. Okay, this new form is great!" Faiz said excitedly, and began to run, the wings granting her flight as she paved through the grunts in a flash. "Whoo hoo!"
As the timer went down, the world began to return to normal, as the last ten seconds went down.
"Time for a flash end." Faiz then inserted the Faiz Pointer into the leg slot, and jumped, shooting out multiple rainbow drills.
[3! 2! 1! Time Out!] After that, time returned to normal, as multiple grunts were destroyed.
"Alright! Now how's that for some-?!" Faiz then saw sparks coming off the watch.
[De-De-dddd ... .formation!]
In a flash, Faiz returned to the normal suit, but the watch and memory sparked again.
"Agh! What the heck?!'
"Dang it, Dash."
"Man, I get a new form, and it breaks on me."
As this all happened, the two Another Riders were now on the ground. They saw that they were outmatched this time.
"Need to retreat." Another Drive grunted. Another Ghost nodded, and made a hand sign that transformed him into multiple shadow parkas that took them away.
"Damn." Geiz said, canceling his henshin.
"This didn't go well for us." Twilight said.
"Tell me about it. Those Another Riders seemed off." Sougo said.
"Yeah. Like, they were acting like mindless monsters. We need to find Drive and Ghost." Sunset said.
"On that note, Dash, hand over the watch. I'll need to work on it to get it fixed."
"Well, it was a good idea." Dash said sheepishly.
"Well, now we need to get an excuse for school."
"I'm sure can cover for us." Pinkie said.
As they all left, someone was watching them. The person watched them go off before taking a picture.
"Man, Shin-neesan isn't gonna like this." The person said. "I hope They can get here on time."
*later*
As the bell rang, the kids at Ponyville Elementary ran out after the day ended. Four young kids were running out.
"Come on, slowpokes!" Scootaloo yelled.
"Scoot,wait up! We ain't as fast as you!" Applebloom yelled back.
As she ran, she collided with somebody as she fell on her butt. "Ow."
"Are you alright?" A voice asked.
"Yeah, I'm good, sorry for…" Scootaloo looked up to apologize, but lost her voice at the person. The person was a man in his early twenties, with dark hair, wearing a purple leather biker jacket and pants, and black boots. His demeanor seemed off, but he appeared concerned. "..for bumping into you."
"It is alright. I am glad you are not hurt."
"Scoot!" Spike called for her, as the others came up. "What did we say about running too fast?!"
"Yeah. Sorry 'bout that, mister." Applebloom apologized.
"It is no trouble. Though, her speed reminds me of a friend. He liked to go off speeding too."
"Say, are you new here?" Sweetie asked.
"Yes. I am new here. I am Chase."
"Well, welcome to Ponyville. I'm Spike, this is Applebloom, Sweetie Belle, and the one who just ran into you is Scootaloo. Sorry about that, again."
"It is fine. I was more worried about your friend."
As they talked, the kids got a look at the bike he had. It was mostly black in color, with purple flames on the sides, and a skull ornament on top.
"Whoa, cool bike."
"Thank you. It has gotten me around." Chase said.
"Hey, sorry, but we need to go. Our sisters are waiting for us." Sweetie Belle said.
"Of course. It was nice to meet you four." Chase said, grabbing his helmet.
"See you later!"
As the kids ran off, Chase had a thought. "Why am I revived? Who revived me?' He put on his helmet, started his bike, and rode off.
Time Jacker hideout*
As the villains were looking over their plans, Swartz had to think of a way to gain Ghost and Drive.
'But what can I use for leverage?' He thought, but then an idea popped up. 'Those kids are related to them. Maybe…'
"Joudan, Paradox. I need some help. Summon some Gamma Assaults and Blank Roidmudes."
"Uh, why?"
"I have a plan, but I need some blank slates."
They nodded, and summoned Blank Roidmudes, and the Gamma Assaults, Gamma with black bodies and blue eyes.
"Now, time for an experiment."
Swartz pulled out a Viral Core, and absorbed the first Roidmude, a Bat Type, and walked up to an Assault.
"Now, I know that Gamma absorbs an object to become Empowered by that. Let's see what happens when I do this."
He then shoved the Core into the Assault. It began to convulse as bat wings popped out of its back, and it reared its head back and roared. In a second, a new monster appeared.
The new monster shared the base body, arms, and legs of the Gamma Assault, but gained two bat wings, and the chest, shoulders and the lower arms were replaced with the Roidmude chest, machine gun hands, and shoulders, as the head had a bat covering the top, with the eyes remaining blue.
"What in the hell is that?" Aura asked.
"I call it the Bat GammaRoid. A fusion of Roidmude technology and the Gamma's otherworldly abilities."
"Swartz then tossed the other two Cores, and the last two Assasults changed as well. While the last two shared the machine gun hands, one had its left arm changed to a cobra tail, and the other had a spider gauntlet on its right lower arm. The Cobra GammaRoid had a cobra biting on its head, while the Spider GammaRoid had a spider covering its left eye.
"Now, you three, I need you to get these four kids." Swartz then showed a picture of Spike, Sweetie Belle, Scootaloo, and Applebloom.
"By your command." The three said as the Bat GammaRoid grabbed the Cobra and Spider GammaRoids, opened its wings, and flew out the window.
"Now, this will give us time for you two to control your new powers."
"The power overtook us the first time. We have better control." Joudan said.
"Well, then, show me."
*meanwhile*
The four kids were with their sisters, watching them train their powers. Zi-O and Geiz practice their weapon training, using their weapons to attack and defend.
"Hey, Twi, why can't we be Riders?" Spike asked.
"Because you're too young. If you got hurt as a Rider, mom and dad would ground me and you for the rest of our lives." Build said, ducking from a claw strike from OOO.
"Well, Dash is a Rider." Scootaloo said, pointing at Faiz blocking a sword strike from Gaim.
"Don't drag me into your thing, Scoot. And I agree with Twilight, you guys are kids."
"Well, it ain't fair. Jack ain't a Rider, but she helps." Applebloom said.
"Just because I ain't a Rider doesn't mean I disagree with them." Applejack said, training with Sunset and Tsukuyomi. The three were going over karate, blocking and defending..
"Besides, dear sister, you tend to get kidnapped by evil doers every now and then." Wizard, said, flipping over Ex-Aid and Fourze.
"Since when?" Sweetie Belle.
Just then, three monsters grabbed the kids, making them scream in fright.
"OK! YOU WERE RIGHT!"
"Sweetie! Let go of them!"
"We have orders to capture them." The Bat GammaRoid said.
"You won;t get away with this!" Zi-O said, pointing his sword.
"You will not stop us." Cobra GammaRoid said.
Just then, a purple motorcycle appeared. Its rider got off and removed his helmet, revealing Chase.
"You will let them go." Chase said.
"Or what?" Bat GammaRoid asked.
"I will destroy you." Chase then took out a purple parking brake gun, and pressed the muzzle down. Hard rock music then began to play as Chase had a look of determination.
"Wait, where did he come from?" Sunset asked.
"Is he a rider?" Spike asked.
Chase then let go of the muzzle as he raised the gun up.
[Break Up!]
As he held the gun, a set of tires appeared to surround him, the tires letting out electricity as they separated into pieces that formed onto him, releasing purple energy as the transformation was complete.
Standing where Chase was, a new being appeared. The being was wearing a wavy suit, with purple armor over the chest, thighs, left shoulder and lower arms. The right shoulder had a radiator attached to it, with piping on the right side that went from the chest to the left shoulder , collar, and thigh. He had heavy duty boots and knee pads, armor on his lower arms, and claws on his fingers. His helmet resembled an engine, his left eye shown as his right eye was covered, with antennae coming out of the right side. On his back was a silver tire device.
"Who…who are you?" The Bat gammaRoid asked, scared of this being that stood in front of them.
The being looked at the three monsters, his single eye glowing.
"I was once known…as the Roidmude Grim Reaper. Now, I am the one that will save those kids. You will regret doing that, for I will put an end to that. I am known… as Mashin Chaser."
Hoo boy, now things are heating up. So now, we have Chase coming in. Now this is something I wanted to add, and the next chapter will have more characters from both series to help. Until then, see you guys later.
