Kamen Rider Shifter
Movie 1: Part 2
Previous ChapterNext ChapterCanterlot Hospital was in a flurry of activity, as the doctors and nurses did their best to protect the patients that had been unable to leave when the Raptorians attacked.
Many of them prayed that the Kamen Riders could keep the battle out of the hospital, which the Riders were able to do. But as soon as the last Raptorian was destroyed, the Riders ran into the building with a bunch of kids and the staff knew that couldn't be a good thing.
And sure enough, one of the rooms was suddenly blown up when a bolt of lightning exploded out of a door. A doctor had been in that hallway when it happened and as the lightning flew through the air, he barely managed to avoid getting zapped as he leapt out of the way.
Once he was up, he looked towards the room and was greeted with the sight of a hideous female monster with a staff of some kind.
Inside the room, Reeka stared at the ten individuals that had managed to escape her attack. The seven girls had shielded themselves behind the purple haired one's magic barrier, whilst the Riders had leapt to one side of the room that her lightning hadn't touched.
Shifter was the first to react, once the lightning and smoke died down. He charged whilst placing his Mimicore into his weapon.
"BLADE!
The weapon had turned into a sword and Shifter started swinging it at her, with Reeka using her staff to block it or dodge. "Nice try! But it'll take more than that to defeat me!" She unleashed a blast of lightning, whilst Shifter used his sword to block. As he did, Morphic raised his Blitz Blaster and fired at her. But Reeka dodged without even looking.
"Careful," E-Quest told him. "Reeka's a powerful sorceress. And her personal magic makes it tricky to take her by surprise."
"Personal magic?" Twilight asked, as Rainbow ran forward at high speed. "Rainbow, wait!" But it was too late and Rainbow tried to throw a kick in her direction.
But before she could hit Reeka, the witch thrust her staff at the girl and a light flew out of it and hit the girl in the chest. And the next thing they all knew, Rainbow vanished into thin air. "RAINBOW!"
"What happened to her?" Morphic asked, as Reeka thrust her staff upwards and unleashed another blast of lightning that filled the room. This forced everyone to take a defensive stance, Rarity putting up a shield around the Rainbooms, as E-Quest ran forward and did his best to avoid the lightning.
He managed to get close enough to Reeka, where he started throwing high powered kicks in her direction. But Reeka avoided them all again and thrust her staff into E-Quest's gut, knocking the Rider staggering back. And as he did, another flash suddenly had Rainbow appear where she had been before.
She was still flying forward and throwing a kick, which ended up hitting E-Quest and knocking him back. "GYAH!" The two crashed into the ground and slid along it, coming to a stop as Rainbow looked around.
"What the heck just happened?"
The others were just as confused, as Shifter charged towards Reeka again. He slashed at her several times, but she was able to dodge them without even looking. It was like she could see all his attacks before he made them. "Come on! What's the deal!?" He swung his sword and then leapt into the air, spinning as he tried to feint her into dodging the sword whilst he would hit her with a kick.
But Reeka didn't even bother with the sword, instead blocking his kick with her staff and pushing her back.
As he was thrown back, Pinkie threw some sprinkles at her whilst Morphic fired his weapon. But once again, Reeka was able to avoid all these attacks before launching a fireball in Morphic's direction. "Wow!" He jumped to the side, as the fireball hit the wall behind him. "What's the deal? Is she psychic or something?"
"Or something," E-Quest stated as he pushed Rainbow off of him. But before he could say what was happening, Applejack and Shifter charged again. Applejack tried to punch her whilst Shifter attacked with his sword again.
Reeka dodged the punch and blocked the sword strike, as Applejack tried to kick her. But Reeka hit her with the end of her staff and the girl vanished like Rainbow had, the prism haired girl gasping whilst the others looked worried. But Shifter couldn't worry, as he quickly found himself fighting in close quarters with Reeka.
The pair locked weapons and pushed against one another, Shifter feeling Reeka give in and stagger back with him following suit. "No!" E-Quest cried, "it's a trap!" But it was too late and in a flash, Applejack reappeared where she was and was still throwing her kick.
But because Shifter had moved forward, he was now in the kick's direction. "AUGH!" He was thrown backwards by the kick and crashed into the side of a wall, falling to the ground as Applejack gasped.
"What the hay?" Applejack was then blasted by a bolt of lightning, also getting thrown backwards, whilst Reeka laughed.
She then dodged all of Morphic's lasers, the Rider growling. "What is with her? How is she able to do all this stuff?"
"She's controlling time." Everyone turned to E-Quest. "It's her personal magic. The ability to manipulate time. She can see into the future and send objects there." Everyone looked shocked, as they turned to Reeka whilst the witch monster chuckled.
"How do we fight something like that?" Sunset asked. "One wrong move and we could be sent a century into the future."
E-Quest shook his head. "Luckily, she's not that powerful. She can only look about a minute into the future and can only send things that far as well. But even so, that's still a tricky type of magic to fight against."
"Now now!" Reeka raised her staff and unleashed blasts of lightning, "don't go giving all my secrets away!" The lightning filled the room and flew all over the place.
Everyone cried out, as they staggered back in surprise. They could do nothing but defend themselves, all of them staggering back to a safe distance. It seemed like Reeka couldn't be stopped, until Shifter noticed an area that the lightning wasn't getting close to.
The Mimic cocoons had gone untouched through this battle. As if Reeka was purposefully avoiding them. And as he thought that, Shifter's eyes went wide. "That's it!" He leapt around the lightning and jumped to that area of the room, Reeka seeing this and growling. "You came here to steal these cocoons. For whatever reason, accidentally damaging them wouldn't help you." He took out a Mimicore and placed it into his Shift Striker.
"PIERCE!"
As his weapon morphed into the futuristic rifle, Reeka stopped her lightning attack as Morphic jumped to another section of the room. E-Quest did the same, as he changed the crest in his Driver and transformed. "Magical power of the cosmos, unleashed using a single mighty horn! UNICORN POWER!"
The three Riders pointed their ranged weapons at the witch, the three forming a triangle around her.
"Doesn't matter if you can see the attack coming," E-Quest stated. "So long as you can't actually avoid it, that's what matters." The three started firing, E-Quest shooting fireballs whilst Shifter fired his spines and Morphic his energy blasts.
The three attacks flew towards her from different angles. Reeka tried to avoid them, but there were just too many attacks. When she dodged a green spine, she was hit by a fireball. When she tried to dodge an energy blast, she was struck by a green spike. And when she tried to dodge a fireball, the energy blasts slammed into her.
Things only got worse, when Pinkie threw a bunch of explosive sprinkles at her and Rarity sent several gem disks her way.
The witch screamed as she was hit again and again, unable to avoid all the attacks. And as the barrage ended, she suddenly found Applejack right in front of her with her fist pulled back. And in the blink of an eye, Rainbow also appeared having shot forward at incredible speed.
Applejack launched her punch, at the same time Rainbow spun around and threw a kick in her direction. The two attacks collided with her before she could warp the pair into the future, the witch screaming out as she was sent flying backwards.
She slammed into a wall with a cry of pain and fell to the ground, her staff almost falling out of her grasp.
The heroes stared at her, with E-Quest jumping forward and looking ready to use a finisher like he had on the Raptorians. "It's over, Reeka. Come quietly so we don't have to destroy you." Reeka pushed herself up and glared at them, clearly not ready to give up this fight quite yet.
But at that moment, a portal suddenly opened up behind Reeka.
"What?" E-Quest asked, as a hand suddenly reached out and grabbed Reeka. A hand everyone else recognised.
"Greye!" Shifter cried, as he and Morphic fired their weapons into the portal. But before they could reach it, Reeka was pulled through the portal before it closed. The attacks hit the wall instead, damaging it but not knocking it down. And with the threat now gone, everyone took a breath.
E-Quest reached down and closed the crest before removing it from his belt. This caused his armor and suit to glow before disappearing, revealing the teen that had been wearing it. "She'll be back. She and Draggle." He turned to the other Riders, seeing they were both still wearing their suits. "Don't you wanna take those off? You guys must be exhausted."
"Why would we do that?" Morphic asked. "Then everyone would know who we are." The teen raised an eyebrow, as Rainbow turned to him.
"After all we've been through, you really don't trust us with who you guys are?" The rest of the girls frowned, as Shifter and Morphic shared a look. Clearly, they were having a mental discussion about possibly revealing who they really were.
"Doesn't matter," E-Quest stated. "If you guys don't wanna reveal who you are, that's fine. It's your choice. I was just surprised since in my universe, everyone knows who I am under the mask."
The girls seemed to accept this, Twilight turning to him. "Who are you, anyway? I'm guessing E-Quest isn't your real name."
He nodded and did a bow. "Burst is the name. Burst Force. I'm the two hundred and fifteenth Kamen Rider E-Quest, protector of Equestria and defender of all that's good in the world."
"Nice to meet you," Fluttershy bowed back as Pinkie jumped over to him.
"Yeah!" She grabbed his hand, "it's great to meet you." She started shaking his hand enthusiastically. "I'm Pinkie Pie!" She let him go, but Burst's arm was still moving up and down from how hard she shook it. The party girl then jumped over to each of her friends. "This is Sunset, Twilight, Rainbow, Fluttershy, Applejack and Rarity!" She then bounced next to the two Riders. "And our town heroes, Kamen Riders Shifter and Morphic!"
"Nice to meet you all," Burst grabbed his arm to stop it from shaking. "I know that me showing up out of nowhere was kind of insane. But I promise you, I'm on your side. If Reeka and Draggle are working with those Mimics you're fighting against, it means we have a common enemy."
"I guess," Shifter nodded. "Who exactly are these witches? I know they're from your world, but where did they come from?"
Burst sighed. "Reeka and Draggle, are the daughters of an old enemy of mine. Hydia. She was a witch, only her power far exceeds Reeka and Draggle's abilities. She tried to conquer my world, using monsters she created with dark magic. I was finally able to stop her, with the help of my partner. Kamen Rider Dragus. We worked together to destroy her. But her daughters managed to escape. We've been trying to find and capture them ever since then."
Morphic nodded. "And when you finally found them, you suddenly found yourself getting warped to this world."
Burst nodded. "I thought I was in trouble, when I woke up in a completely different world. For the last few days, I've been trying to get a read on this place. I'd hoped you had some kind of magic, that could send me home. But then I learned that magic didn't exist in this world. I was really starting to panic. Then, I learned that this world had Kamen Riders as well. I've been trying to find you all day. That's when the Raptorians attacked and I realised, Reeka and Draggle had to be here."
"And they somehow joined the Mimics," Twilight realised. "Somehow, they must have come to an agreement. Reeka gets these cocoons back and the Mimics...I don't know what the Mimics would do for them."
"Me neither," Burst stated. "But I know it's not gonna be good. Hopefully, those Mimics call off whatever deal the sisters had with them. If they can't get the cocoons, the girls might not be of any use to them."
"Maybe," Morphic nodded. "But I don't think the Mimics will call their partnership quits just yet." Morphic hoped he was wrong and the two groups did turn on one another. If they were lucky, they might end up destroying each other. if not, then things were gonna get tricky for the Rainbooms and the Kamen Riders.
Reeka frowned, as she found herself in the Mimic's new lair.
It was very similar to the old lair, only this one seemed to be in some kind of large skyscraper. A large window was letting in light and allowed Reeka to see outside the building. Though what was outside wasn't something Reeka wanted to see.
Standing next to her, was another monstrous human. She was tall and lean, with a large bush of read hair running down her back. Her teeth were much more well kept and instead of a pig's nose, hers was long and curved like a bird's beak. She was wearing a dress that was a mixture of light and dark blue, whilst she carried a staff just like Reeka's.
As they stood there, the four Mimic generals glared at them as they stood together. Greye-No-Bill, Maya-Vala-Uru High-Vol-Tech and Frill-Nar-Ron, all had an unpleasant look pointed at the sisters.
"You told us you could get our hosts back," Greye stated. "We had a deal. You get our cocoons back and we help you in your little endeavour. But you failed and what's worse, you let the Riders know we're working together."
"We almost had the cocoons," Reeka told him. "If that stupid E-Quest hadn't shown up, the Riders would have been too busy dealing with our Raptorians. I would have had the time needed to break the chains and collect your cocoons."
"You said you threw your Kamen Rider into another dimension," Maya stated. "You never said it was our Dimension!"
"We didn't know," Draggle cried. "We had barely any control over the spell, when we cast it on him. The chances of him being sent to the same world we were going to, was a billion to one."
Frill huffed. "Clearly, there's more to that spell than you realised. It probably forced you here because you sent that Rider to this dimension." Reeka and Draggle frowned, knowing there was a chance he was right. "In any case, that doesn't matter. What does matter, is that now they know you're after the cocoons like we are. They won't leave them so weakly guarded anymore."
"We can still get them for you," Reeka stated. "We'll just need a little more help then we realised. If you were to help us, that might go a long way to getting us the results you require." The Mimics frowned at them, clearly about to say no. But before they could, an alarm went off.
The Mimics rushed over to their communication device and all knelt down, as the device projected the hologram of their master. The figure in the shadows looked around, spotting Reeka and Draggle. "I understand we have a new problem to deal with."
"Yes, master." Greye nodded. "The Rider these two talked about is here. They failed to acquire the cocoons for us and are now asking for our help in doing so." The sisters frowned at him, as the master hummed.
"I see. Very well. Grant them some assistance. But if they fail again, I won't be pleased. We made a deal. Don't expect us to fulfil our end of it until you've fulfilled yours. Understand."
"Yes," Reeka and Draggle nodded. The master cut the call, as the sisters looked over at something on a nearby table.
That something was a small tank, with something floating inside of it. A strange purple crystal, which had been shattered into multiple pieces. One piece of this crystal was missing, leaving the jigsaw that made it unfinished. But despite being in multiple pieces and missing a part, the crystal was giving off some kind of energy. One that made all those that looked at it feel overwhelmed.
Back with Burst and the others, they were all outside the hospital.
The cocoons were being moved to a more secure area. Hopefully, the Mimics and their new friends wouldn't be able to keep track of them and they would remain hidden. But the Riders wanted to be careful, since there was a chance this was exactly what the Mimics wanted them to do.
"So what do we do now?" Fluttershy asked, who was scratching Spike's head. The dog had been chilling in Twilight bag throughout the entire insane event and now that it was over, he was out and happily enjoying some attention.
"Well," Burst stated, "I'd like to try and find a way to contact my friends back home. They're probably worried sick about me."
"Is that even possible?" Rarity asked, as Burst reached into his jacket and took something out of it. A strange looking device, which looked like a strangely made mobile phone. But it looked damaged. "What is that?"
"It's a device that my friends and I use to keep in contact. It's even able to connect to one another through other dimensions. This isn't the first time my friends and I have crossed into other worlds. But it got damaged when I was thrown into this world."
Twilight took it from him and started looking it over, the device looking like nothing she had ever seen before. Sunset also examined it and felt traces of Equestrian Magic, the girl realising Burst's world must use a combo of tech and magic to create devices like it.
"Can't ya'h fix it?" Applejack asked, with Burst shaking his head.
"No. I'm more skilled with breaking things then fixing them. I've no idea how something like this works. But..." He turned to Twilight. "The Twilight in my world was an expert in technomagic. You think you might be able to repair it?" Twilight was shocked by this, but took another look at the device.
"I can try. No promises it'll work, though." Burst nodded, as Shifter turned to him.
The Kamen Rider was curious, hoping he might have an answer to something he and Morphic had wondered for a while. "Burst. How did you become a Kamen Rider? You said you were the two hundredth..."
"Two hundred and fifteenth E-Quest," Burst explained. "I am. Two hundred and fourteen ponies have wielded this power before me. Whenever one died or was too old to carry on the duty, the Driver would choose the next Rider to wield its power. After Hydia killed my predecessor, I was chosen to take up the mantle."
"So where did your Driver come from?" Morphic asked. "I'm guessing the answer isn't just, 'it was made using magic.' If it was, wouldn't it make more sense to make a bunch of them and give one to every guard and law enforcer in your world?"
Burst smirked. "You're right. It was made using magic, but the material used to make it is unique." He took out his Driver and looked it over, everyone else getting a good look at it. "Over a thousand years ago, a meteorite crashed into Equestria. It broke into several pieces before it landed and when a unicorn magician went to investigate it, he discovered its incredible powers."
"So he used it to forge your Driver?" Sunset asked, wondering if the magician was his world's Starswirl.
"Yup. It was during a time of great upheaval in my world. Monsters were constantly attacking ponies and there was only so much they could do to fight them off. So, he forged the Driver using the largest piece and used the smaller ones to make the crests. When it was done, he handed the Driver to a pegasus knight he knew was pure enough not to use the power for evil. And so he became the first Kamen Rider E-Quest."
"And now you've taken up the mantel?" Shifter asked, with Burst nodding as he put the Driver away.
"Wow," Spike smirked. "So in your Equestria, there's always been someone who could wield all those powers. No wonder your world's so well protected."
"Actually, most Riders only have the power of one crest." He took the magical shields out of his jacket and showed it to them, the girls examining the ones that belonged to their Equestrian Form's race. "Since I'm an Earth Pony, I was given the Earth Pony Crest to wield. It's the form I have the best sync with, but we later discovered I can use the powers of all the Crests. It was kind of a shock, when I suddenly managed to activate the Pegasus Crest. And later, I did the same with the Unicorn Crest."
"So you're the only one that can use all three?" Sunset asked, with Burst nodding. "Amazing. Why do you think that is?"
"Well," Burst's moved back and forth as he thought about it. "It might have something to do with my Alicorn Blood."
"Alicorn Blood?" Shifter asked. "What's an alicorn?"
"It's the most powerful Pony in Equestria," Sunset explained. "Princess Celestia, Luna, Cadance and Twilight are all Alicorns. They have the powers of Earth Ponies, Unicorns and Pegasi. They're all three species in one." She turned back to Burst, "and you have the blood of one?"
Burst nodded. "My mother was an alicorn." He suddenly looked very nervous. "Princess Celestia." Now everyone really looked shocked. They all knew Celestia, Sunset even knowing two, and the thought of this guy being her son was insane. "I was actually born over a thousand years ago. But I was stolen from my mother and almost got killed. At the last moment, a powerful mage saved me by sending me into the future. He only intended to send me a few weeks forward, when I would be safe. But his spell got interrupted and he sent me forward a millennium."
"You were born a thousand years ago?" Pinkie cried, with Burst nodding.
"Look pretty good for my age, don't I?" They all chuckled at this, as Fluttershy then frowned.
"Why did they want to kill you? You were just a baby. Why would anybody want to harm a child. Was it because you were the child of an alicorn?"
"Not exactly," Burst stated. "It wasn't because of who my mother was. It was because of who my father was." This got confused reactions from the others, as Burst took a deep breath. "My father was an evil king. A member of a species of shadow monsters. His name was Sombra."
"Sombra!?" Sunset gasped, as the others turned to her. "Princess Twilight told me about him. He was an evil king that tried to conquer Equestria. He started with The Crystal Empire, which he conquered and enslaved to turn into his army of puppets."
"The same thing happened in my Equestria," Burst nodded. "But before that, he and my mother had a close relationship. But she was a princess, so she couldn't be with him. That's what all her advisers told her. They all thought he was just a normal unicorn. An orphan they found in the snow. Despite how brilliant he was with magic, he was still just a commoner. Somepony not fit to marry an alicorn."
"But he wasn't just a common unicorn," Sunset stated.
"Yup. He tried to find a way to prove himself worthy of my mother and that's when he discovered the truth. That we was a shadow monster named an umbrum, transformed into a unicorn in order to escape a seal trapping the rest of the umbrum. When he discovered the truth, his true power was awakened and it warped his mind. If the only way to be with his mother was to become a royal, he would win that title by conquering all of Equestria."
"Oh," Rarity looked ready to start crying. "What a tragic tale. Two lovers, turned into enemies because of events out of their control."
Burst nodded. "My father was defeated by my mother and aunt, but none of them realised she was pregnant with me. When they discovered this fact, many feared I would be just like my father and attempt to repeat his crimes. That led to me getting kidnapped and sent to the future. A thousand years later, I was found by a farmer and taken in by his family. They raised me. Cared for me and taught what it meant to be a hero."
"And then you inherited the Driver?" Sunset asked.
"Kinda. I'd always wanted to be a guard, so I moved to Canterlot as soon as I was old enough. And when I arrived, Hydia attacked with her monsters. That's when the Driver appeared and chose me to be E-Quest. And over time, I learned the truth behind my origins and came to terms with it."
"All the while fighting against those witches," Morphic realised. Burst nodded, as he moved away from them.
"We defeated Hydia, but her daughters escaped and now they're here." He turned towards the Riders. "I don't know who you are, but you're Kamen Riders. That means you fight to protect the world. And until Reeka and Draggle are dealt with, I'll help fight to protect it as well." He held out a hand, "we good with that."
The Riders nodded and moved over and grasped his hand in theirs, the three nodding at one another before Shifter and Morphic's heads shot up and turned in the same direction. This made Burst tilt his head.
"You guys okay?"
"Mimics," Shifter stated. "I can sense Mimics."
"What?" Twilight asked. "You can sense them?"
Morphic nodded. "We don't really understand how, but it's just something we can do. Looks like the Mimics are back and up to no good." He growled. "Why now? Couldn't they have let us handle those witches first."
Burst frowned as he took out his Driver. "Don't forget, the Mimics and Witches might be working together. I'm willing to be where those Mimics are, Draggle and Reeka aren't far behind." He placed the belt on his waist, the straps appearing as he took out his crest. "Let's do this."
"EARTH PONY!"
The shield unleashed the shield of light, as he placed it down into his Driver. The energy horse then appeared, as Burst struck a pose. "HENSHIN!" He pushed the handles in and split the shield open, as the light flew down over him. Once again, everyone watched him transform into the white suit and head covering. Moments later, the energy horse exploded and created the armor that covered his form.
"Power of the Earth, unleashed in a single destructive kick! EARTH PONY POWER!"
E-Quest sighed as he felt the power flowing through him, whilst Shifter and Morphic took out their small bikes and threw them into the air. The bikes quickly turned to goo and expanded, reshaping themselves into the now life sized bikes that the Riders climbed onto.
Shifter turned to E-Quest. "Wanna ride?"
E-Quest chuckled. "No thanks. I wouldn't be much of a Kamen Rider, if I didn't have my own set of wheels." He took out another crest. One that showed the image of a horse and motorbike running side by side towards the one staring at it. "Summon, Steed Cycle!" He pressed the button and the shield opened up, unleashing a light that formed a portal.
A neighing sound came out of the portal, as everyone rushed to stare into it.
When they did, they saw a white stallion charging towards them. It was wearing white armor that covered almost its entire body, as it galloped out of the portal and moved with incredible speed. It pranced around the area, as the armor began to glow.
Within seconds, the armor merged with the stallion and transformed it into a robotic creature that suddenly transformed. Its legs folded at the knees and a disk of light appeared between them, which faded to reveal leather tires that connected to the legs at the knees. Its tail began a bunch of metal tubes that pointed upwards, acting like exhaust, whilst its body gained a leather seat with handlebars coming out the back of the neck.
Transformation complete, the new bike shrunk as it rolled towards E-Quest. The Ride leapt up and landed on the seat, as the bike rolled to a stop next to Shifter and Morphic. "Pretty cool, huh?" The Riders could only nod, as E-Quest revved the engine. "Alright, lead the way."
They nodded again before turning to the girls, Morphic speaking up. "I know you girls want to help, but leave this to us. I don't want a repeat of what happened the last time you fought the Mimics."
"But we can help," Twilight cried.
"Help by fixing Burst's phone," Shifter stated. "That might be more helpful than fighting." Before the girls could argue, the Riders kicked off and flew through the town.
E-Quest's Steed Cycle was able to move just as fast as their bikes, so they were zooming through the town without issue. "So," E-Quest turned to the others, "now do I get to learn who you guys are? We're away from anyone that might know you and I promise, I won't tell anyone."
Shifter and Morphic shared a look before nodding at one another. "My name's Flash Sentry."
"You can call me Shining Armor."
"Flash and Shining," E-Quest nodded. "Cool names. So, how did you guys become Kamen Riders?"
"Honestly," Shifter replied, "we have no idea. We just woke up one day and when the Mimics attacked, we found we could transform."
"There's a guy named Corvyn," Morphic explained. "We think he might know what happened. But he won't tell us what until after the Mimics are beaten."
"Really? Well that seems unfair." E-Quest focused back on the road. "I'd really try and look into the truth, if I were you. If that guy's keeping a secret, you need to find out what it is before it's too late." The other Riders wondered what he meant. "Like I said, I've been to other Dimensions before. And I've met other Riders, who have all been tricked or manipulated into unknowingly helping the villains."
"You've met other Riders?" Shifter had always wondered if there were more out there.
"Yup. There's one Rider named Dragon Knight, who was manipulated by his enemy in the hopes of turning him into a loyal lackey. Boy, did that ever go wrong for him. Heck, most Riders were actually created by the villains. Weapons of destruction that turned against their creators."
Shifter and Morphic listened closely. They didn't know anything about Kamen Riders, so hearing this information was truly a shock to them. Were they anything like those Riders? Weapons turned against their masters?
Shifter remembered when he was captured by the Mimics. They were certain he was a Mimic, something the Rainbooms had also asked about. But Flash refused to believe such a thing. Shining had helped him realise that he was a human and that was that.
Morphic's head then moved up and the other Riders turned to him, as he looked around whilst looking like he had had some kind of revelation. "What's up?" E-Quest asked.
"I think I know where the Mimics are." Morphic's body language told them he was angry and annoyed.
Shifter sensed them again and was pulled in the direction of a building, that was taller than the ones around it and had a rather impressive architecture. The roof of this building was made of a special material, which looked like it was designed to mimic crystals. There were even a few towers made of the same stuff, which Shifter felt like he had seen before.
And as they turned into the street they were being pulled in, Shifter suddenly realised where they were going. "Shining. Are we where I think we are?"
Morphic nodded. "It's my old alma mater." The three pulled their bikes to a stop, as they looked up at an almost castle-like building surrounded by a stone wall. it was a place Flash had hated until recently, due to the rivalry it had shared with his own school. But now, he needed to protect it and those within it. "Crystal Prep."
