Everyone was in absolute shock, as they stared at the girl that had just been a butterfly monster not two minutes ago.

Katar-Hu-Die continued to stare at the cocoon, which held the girl she was currently impersonating. Thanks to the cocooning, Fleur would not die of the injury she had sustained. But the question was, would Katar release her once she was free?

However, Katar was acting rather odd. Stating she was actually Fleur and looking rather confused.

"What's happening?" Pinkie asked, as the girl in front of them stared at the cocoon. "Is that Fleur or the Mimic?" None of them had an answer, but they had bigger issues at the moment. Fleur's cocooned state meant she wouldn't get any worse. However, she wasn't going to get any better either.

"We need to get her medical treatment," Sunset stated. In that moment, a flash of light caught their attention and they looked around.

A portal formed and Corvyn leapt out of it. "Stand back." He took out a device and pointed it at the cocoon, causing it to begin to hover and float towards the portal.

It was at this moment that Greye and Shifter attempted to attack, but Morphic and Changeling got in their way. "Get lost!" Shifter slashed at Changeling, knocking his swords away before spinning around and slamming his foot into the Rider's chest.

"Augh!" Changeling was thrown backwards and hit the ground, sliding towards the girls as his suit exploded off of him.

Applejack helped Thorax up, as Corvyn managed to get the cocoon through the portal. And as he did, Morphic leapt back before thrusting his fist into the ground. This caused the area in front of him to explode, blocking their opponents and allowing everyone to get through the portal.

This included Katar, who looked unsure but was pushed through by Sunset. "Come on!"

As soon as they were through the portal, Morphic and Changeling ran through as well. The explosion finally died down and as Shifter and Greye ran through, they saw it close and realised they had missed their chance to stop them. "Damn it!" Shifter cried. "You can run, but you can't hide forever."

"Come on," Greye told him. "We'd better report the situation to the master. He's not gonna be happy." Shifter nodded as he de-transformed, the pair stepping through the portal that formed behind them.

Inside Corvyn's lab, he had moved Fleur's cocoon to an open area of it where he was setting something up.

It was some kind of lamp, thin and rectangular in shape. As soon as he had it at the right height, he turned it to be at the same angle as the slash wound on Fleur's body. "There we go." He turned it on and the lamp unleashed a strange green light, which flowed into the cocoon and was absorbed into it and onto the wound. "This energy is the only thing we've discovered can penetrate the Mimic cocoon. It'll heal her up and won't even leave a scar."

"How long will it take?" Twilight asked, as Corvyn did a few checks.

"About a week." They all nodded, knowing that wasn't too long but still felt unsure how Fleur would feel.

Speaking of Fleur, the Mimic in her body was sitting in the corner looking around in amazement. "So this is where the Kamen Riders fight the Mimics from."

"Alright," Rainbow told her, "fess up. Are you really Fleur? Or are you just trying to trick us by saying that?" Fleur began to panic.

"I promise, I'm the real Fleur." They all stared at her, clearly unsure if they could trust her or not. "I swear. I have no idea how this is happening either."

"I have a theory," Corvyn stated. "It's very possible the Mimics can capture a human and let them have control of their body. If the Mimic Driver can force it, it's possible it can happen naturally. I just don't get why the Mimic did it."

Fleur frowned, having no idea what he was talking about. But then, she suddenly felt a great pain in her head. And as she cried out, clutching it, the others began to worry. And the next thing she knew, she was suddenly in a white void.

"What?" She looked around, worried. "Where am I?"

"Inside our joined mind." She spun around and saw a perfect copy of herself, smiling as she stood a few feet away. "Hello Fleur. It's nice to finally be able to talk to you."

"Katar?" Fleur asked, with her copy nodding. "You...you really did take my form."

"A byproduct of saving you. I'm sorry. It was the only way I could think to save you. Don't worry. Once you're real body is healed, I'll release you." Fleur nodded, as she looked around.

"This place is kind of depressing."

Katar smiled at this, "it's our mind. All we have to do is decide what form it needs to take." Moments later, they suddenly found themselves within a large forest. "Anything that makes us comfortable." Fleur was amazed by this and also thought about it, causing roman statues to appear along with a large fountain and several bird tables.

The girls smiled, only to then hear a voice speak up. When they looked around, they saw a screen floating in front of them that showed what Fleur was seeing. "You okay?" Rarity asked, with Fleur about to answer. But before she could, Katar placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Do you trust me?" She asked, with Fleur nodding. "Then let me try something."

Back in the real world, everyone saw Fleur's face go blank.

But then, she blinked and her vision returned to normal before she smiled. "Hello everyone. Nice to finally talk to you all." This surprised them, as Fleur sat in a different manner. "Sorry for the scare, but I thought you might want to talk to me."

"Wait," Morphic tensed, "Katar?"

"Yes," she nodded. "Don't worry. Fleur and I have just swapped control for a moment. She'll be back in control once we've finished talking." The others weren't sure if they believed that or not. But Corvyn decided to use this chance to learn as much as he could about the Mimics.

"What are they planning?" He asked. "With the Doom Pillars destroyed, how do they intend to capture this world?"

Katar sighed. "I don't know." They frowned. "I really don't know. Before I combined with Fleur, I was a simple minded creature. All I knew was my own name, what abilities I had and that I should follow the orders of my masters. Of course, that last one didn't really sit well in my mind."

"So you really don't know anything about the Mimics?" Morphic asked in annoyance. "Like where they come from? Why they're hellbent on wiping humans out? And what their end goal is?"

"No," Katar shook her head. "I'm sorry. I know you have no reason to trust me, but I really don't know. All I can tell you is that you don't have to worry about me. Fleur helped me, was kind to me and trusted me. I never liked fighting. And I don't want to wipe humanity out. Please believe that."

Everyone remained quiet, unsure what to say to that.

Katar's eyes glazed over for a moment before coming back to life, as she stood up. "I think we can trust her," Fleur had returned. "I'm going to trust her. So please try and do the same." They sighed, knowing they might as well try. It was better to trust her and be betrayed, than to not trust her and turn a potential ally against them.

At the Mimic lair, Sombra was not happy when his Mimics returned with news.

"A Mimic took over a host, but let that host have control?" Sheave and Greye nodded. "And you're certain the host didn't simply overpower her?" They nodded again. "How? Why?"

"We don't know," Greye replied. "The Mimic actually saved the human before it happened. Then took her over when the girl was injured. It was trying to save her."

"This doesn't make any sense," Maya stated. "Mimics don't help humans. We replace and kill them. That's what we're supposed to do."

"Maybe it's defective?" High suggested to them. "No other Mimic has ever done that before. One doing it could be meaningless." The others seemed to be agreeing with her. "But if this Mimic is on the other's side, do you think it could mean another Rider is about to be born?"

"I don't know." Sombra stated. "But if it's possible, we'll need to move on with our own plans."

"What plans?" Greye asked, as a bunch of Mimicreeps arrived carrying strange devices. "What are those?" They were large backpacks, with an extendable plug. On the side was a glass line of some kind."

"They're your next mission," Sombra stated. "I require power. So get it for me." This confused the Mimics, but they knew not to question their master.

Back in the lab, Fleur was sitting around staring at her hands.

Katar continued to speak to her, explaining everything she could do as a Mimic. And after a few moments of concentration, her arms suddenly started melting. Everyone else saw this, shocked that she was able to do that. But Fleur was even more shocked and freaked out.

"Gyah!" She closed her eyes and her arms returned to normal, the girl sighing in relief. "This is just too weird."

"You get used to it," Katar assured her.

As this was going on, Corvyn walked into the room carrying something. Something that caught everyone's attention. "Is that a Mimic Driver?" Twilight asked, as the man moved over to Fleur.

"Yes." He placed the device on a counter in front of the mimic turned girl, along with a blank Mimicore. "Fleur. Katar. Are you willing to fight and protect this world from the Mimics?"

"What?" Fleur stood up, staring at the Driver in front of her. "What are you talking about?"

"I've done a bit of fiddling with this Driver. It'll no longer trap Katar in your mind. She'll be able to swap with you at will. All you have to do is put the Driver on and you'll be able to transform into a Kamen Rider."

"Are you nuts?" Morphic asked. "You want to make another Rider?"

"With Shifter gone, we need to bolster our numbers." He turned back to Fleur. "You have the chance to stop the Mimics and protect your world. Don't you feel it's your responsibility to do such a thing?"

"I..." Fleur didn't know how to answer, especially since Katar clearly didn't like the idea of fighting. "I don't know. Katar trusted me with her body. It wouldn't be right to put it in danger to fight her own kind."

Corvyn frowned. "Her kind has wiped out countless universes and has ruined probably over a billion lives. She should be willing to help make up for their crimes." Fleur flinched at this, whilst Katar looked upset.

"That's enough." Twilight stepped forward. "We don't have the right to force her into this. If Fleur and Katar don't want to be Kamen Riders, it's their choice. We have to respect that."

"We can't afford to not take this opportunity. Two Riders aren't gonna be enough to stop the Mimics at this point. Even if you girls helped, it wouldn't be enough. We need the power of a Mimic to fight a Mimic." The others clearly didn't agree to this, but didn't have time to argue.

In that moment, an alarm went off and Corvyn rushed over to his computer.

A holo-screen appeared to show a map of the city, with two areas on the outer edge of it glowing red. "Mimic signals. At a power planet and a hydro electric dam."

"Why would they be attacking those places?" Sunset asked, as two portals formed.

"Only one way to find out." Morphic turned to Changeling, "you ready?" Changeling nodded before they both leapt through the portals. When Morphic arrived, he looked around and found he was at the power plant.

People were running for their lives, as Frill, Maya and several Mimicreeps were running around causing utter mayhem. Frill was carrying some kind of device over his shoulders, as the Mimicreeps attacked several people.

But before they could hurt anyone, Morphic punched the air and unleashed a bunch of lasers that destroyed them. This caught the Mimic's attention and made them turn to him, as he charged towards them. "Oh," Frill chuckled, "still up and fighting. Figured your last fight would have exhausted you."

Maya fired her webs at him, but Morphic was able to dodge them and leap over a large web whilst firing his lasers at them.

The Mimics all braced themselves and were blown back, with Maya hitting the ground whilst Frill took flight and flew up. "Hold him off!" Frill launched several feather darts before flying off. Morphic shielded himself with his gauntlets before charging after him, but Maya got in his way.

"I don't think so." She threw a punch at Morphic, who dodged it and threw his own kick.

Maya was knocked back before Morphic fired his lasers at the Mimic, who fired a web and pulled herself out of the way. The two glared at one another, both ready to fight whilst Frill did whatever he was after.

Over at the dam, High and Greye were also attacking the place.

They had managed to get inside and their Mimicreeps were forcing people to run away, leaving them free to find what they were looking for. But High wasn't happy. "Why are we even here?" She asked, as Greye carried a device on his back. "If we need power, I can just make it myself."

"The energy you produce is too unstable," Greye stated. "We're lucky you didn't blow the Doom Pillars up when you charged them." He spotted what he was looking for and smiled. "Perfect." He stepped over to a section of the wall and took the device off his back, pulling a cable out of it and sticking it into a slot.

The device powered up and as it did, Greye chuckled.

"This thing will be fully charged in no time. And once we have enough energy, our master's plan will come to fruition."

"Any idea what the master needs all this power for?" High asked, with Greye not answering. Instead, he was too focused on the device's charge right.

However, a very loud crashing sound soon caught their attention. And when they looked around, they spotted Changeling running through the place slashing at the Mimicreeps. He spun around and knocked several down, as he turned to them and glared. "What are you guys doing here?"

"We came to settle our electric bill," High's body began to spark. "It turns out they're overcharging us!" She thrust her hands forward and the lightning fired, Changeling raising his blades as the bolt slammed into him.

The force of the attack knocked him sliding backwards, using all of his strength to keep from being pushed over. And when the energy died down, he panted as he lowered the weapons.

Greye charged at him and started performing his dance-like fighting style, slashing at Changeling who did his best to block and dodge them. At one point, he leapt to the side and rolled along the ground. But before he could counter attack, High flew past at high speed and slashed him.

"GYAH!" He was thrown into the side of the wall, as Greye and High stood protective of the device. Neither would allow any harm to come to it. They would keep it safe until it was fully charged.

As this was happening, Fleur, Corvyn and the Rainbooms were all watching the fights on the monitors.

As Fleur watched the Riders battle, she couldn't help but wonder what she would be like if she had agreed to take the role of a Rider. But the others were more focused on what the Mimics were doing. "Both sights are areas that store or generate energy," Corvyn frowned. "They must be up to something and need a lot of power for it."

"It can't be good if they need this much power," Twilight sighed before another alarm went off. "What's that?"

Corvyn opened up a map and another signal appeared upon it. And it wasn't just any signal. "It's Shifter." A holo-screen appeared, showing some kind of building with many wires coming out of it. There, Malefic Flight Shifter and some Mimicreeps were attacking the place and threatening a lot of people there. "He's at the city's emergency energy generator station. If he gets what he wants and decides to destroy it, that could leave the city in serious trouble."

"Then we've gotta stop him!" Rainbow cried, as the others looked unsure.

"How?" Rarity asked. "We don't stand a chance against him. Especially with him using the Maleficore."

"And can we really fight Flash?" Fluttershy asked, but Twilight was the one who opened a portal and stepped towards it.

"Flash would want us to stop Sheave from hurting anyone. We have to stop whatever he's planning before he causes too much damage." They all nodded, as Twilight leapt through the portal. The girls followed, leaving Corvyn and Fleur alone within the lab.

All the while, Fleur's eyes turned towards the Driver and Mimicore Corvyn had offered her. But she shook her head and turned back to the screen.

At the city's emergency power generator, Shifter carried the same device that the other Mimics had.

As the Mimicreeps drove the people away, he landed next to a terminal and pulled out a chord from the device. One that he quickly plugged into the terminal. This caused the device to power up and start draining the energy from the power station. "Once this thing is charged, I'll blast this place to keep the humans from using it."

"I don't think so!" He looked around and spotted the Rainbooms, who appeared out of a portal with the Mimicreeps attacking.

But the girls quickly made short work of them, with even Sunset and Fluttershy using the blasters Corvyn had designed to deal with them. The rest used their magic to destroy the Mimics, able to do it in seconds now that they had more experience fighting them.

Once the last one was destroyed, they turned to Shifter and glared at him.

"Let me guess. You're gonna try and speak to Flash and get him to free himself. Well sorry, but it's not going to work." He took out his Shift Striker and placed the Strike Mimicore within. "This body is mine."

"Then I won't feel bad about damaging it!" Rainbow shot forward at high speed and tried to throw a punch into part of the Rider's unarmoured sections. But before she could actually reach him, Shifter spread his wings and unleashed a powerful gust of wind.

Rainbow slammed into that wind and it was like hitting a brick wall, the girl getting blown back as she cried out. Luckily, Rarity was able to make a shield that caught her and allowed her to slide to a stop without hurting her.

As she did, Shifter charged forward and thrust his rapier at Rarity. "I'll take out the annoying shields first!" He tried to stab her, but Twilight used her magic to pull Rarity out of the way. At the same time, Pinkie, Sunset and Fluttershy fired at him. But Shifter spread his wings and used them to shield himself from the explosions and blasts.

Applejack then ran at him, attempting to punch him. But Shifter spread his wings and unleashed another super powered gust, which struck Applejack and threw her backwards.

"Gyah!" She hit the ground, as Rainbow was finally let down. Rarity then threw several gems at him, hoping to maybe cut something off. However, Shifter swung his sword around and deflected each of these attacks without issue. He then leapt into the air and switched his weapon to gun mode, firing at the girls and raining lasers down around them.

Fleur flinched as she watched the girls getting blasted, Rarity barely able to protect them all.

"They're gonna be okay, Right?" She turned to Corvyn, who didn't say anything and just watched. "They can beat him, can't they? I mean...they have magic. They've beaten powerful opponents before. This shouldn't be any different, right?"

"They're magic is powerful, but it's not entirely focused on combat. Especially Sunset and Fluttershy's. Mimics and the Riders are meant to be warriors. Against something like that, even the seven of them together isn't a match. Only a Rider can stop him."

Fleur frowned as she turned to Changeling and Morphic's fights.

Morphic continued to fight against Maya, appearing to get the upper hand on her as he threw punch after punch at her.

Maya managed to dodge the lasers being fired at her, whilst shooting webs at him. But Morphic managed to dodged all the shots as he thought about Frill. He knew the Mimic was up to something and had to figure out what. So when Maya fired another line at him, he leapt straight up.

"RAAAH!" He then slammed his fist into the ground and unleashed a bunch of light, which flew towards Maya and blasted the ground at her feet.

She cried out, as she was blown away. And this allowed Morphic to rush towards the power plant and leap over the fence. When he reached the other side, he tried to sense Frill and found him close by.

Following his sense, he found Frill near one of the station's outside power supply rooms. The device he was carrying was plugged into it, Frill looking around and seeing him running towards him.

"Great!" He stood up and fired his feathers at Morphic, who dodged them all before getting in close and throwing a punch in his direction. But Frill dodged them all and summoned his swords to slash at him. Morphic managed to block most of them, but one hit him in the chest and he was knocked staggering back.

And before he could fight back, Maya leapt onto the scene and fired several webs at him. He was forced to dodge these, along with Frill's darts. And as he rolled along the ground, the Mimics stood protective of the device they had brought with them.

Morphic stood tall and the pair stared one another down before charging, ready to take the other one down.

Back at the dam, Changeling slashed at High. But the Tiger Mimic leapt back whilst Greye swung his fans at him.

This sent the energy blades flying at him, but Changeling managed to deflect them all as he got in close. The Rider then swung his legs at him and hit the peacock in the side, making him flinch. But as Changeling kicked him again, he grabbed the Rider's leg and held him in place.

This allowed High to charge up and unleash a bolt at Changeling.

The Rider saw this and used all his strength to swing his other leg up and slam Greye in the head, the impact making them both fall down as the bolt flew over their heads. It struck some machinery behind them and as Changeling rolled away,

This caused the lights above their head to start flickering, as Changeling looked over at the device plugged into the dam's systems. He realised he needed to stop whatever that was and slammed the side of his Driver.

"CLIMATIC SLASH!"

Greye and High prepared themselves, only to suddenly realise where he was aiming. "NO!" High cried, super speeding towards the spot Changeling was aiming. And as he swung his blades around, the X-shaped energy attack flew towards the device.

At the last moment, High intercepted the attack and unleashed a burst of lightning.

That energy formed a barrier that blocked the attack and slowed it down, but eventually broke as High was struck by it. "GYAH!" She staggered back, but stayed upright whilst Changeling charged at her.

He slashed at the Mimic, but Greye got between them and blocked the swords with his fans.

He then pushed Changeling backwards before swinging the energy blades at him, Changeling not being able to block them in time. The next thing he knew, he was being blasted into the wall of the dam and let out a cry of pain before falling to the ground.

High panted, as she staggered forward. "You okay?" Greye asked, with High nodding. Changeling then got up and groaned, but raised his swords again. He wasn't done yet.

Back with Fleur, she watched as the girls were blasted backwards.

Twilight and Pinkie slammed into the side of a fence, whilst the other girls hit the ground. Shifter wasn't even breaking a sweat, as he landed near the generator. She then turned to Corvyn. "Can't you do something? Anything?"

"No. I'm not a fighter. And even if I did try, none of the weapons I have can stand up to the level of power he has. Only a Mimic can stand up to them."

Fleur said nothing and in the blink of an eye, she was back in her mind. The forest area was comforting, but it didn't make her feel any better. "Fleur," Katar then spoke, "what do you want to do?"

Fleur turned to her. "What do you mean?"

"I know you want to help them," Katar explained. "Our minds and feelings are connected. You wish to help them. And not just them." Suddenly, images started floating around them. Images of people running for their lives from Mimics and other monsters. Images of people almost suffocating from the Doom Pillars. Images of the Mimics causing great destruction. Images...memories.

"I do want to help," Fleur sighed. "But I don't want to use your body to destroy your own kind."

Katar frowned. "I wish my kind didn't do this. It's pointless. I want the Mimics to realise that trying to conquer other worlds is pointless. But the ones that are attacking won't realise that. The only way my kind can change for the better, is if the ones that don't want to change are taken out."

"And you're okay with that?" Fleur asked. "Possibly destroying your own kind?"

"If it can bring about a better future for my kind, then yes." Fleur suddenly returned to the living world, as a scream filled the air. The girls were being blown about again, this time looking badly injured. As she watched, Corvyn spoke again.

"I never had the chance to protect my world. It was lost before I could find a way to save it. But your world has a chance. But not if the number of heroes it has stays so small." Fleur thought about everything and everyone she cared about. She had the chance to save them.

Her eyes fell upon the Driver and Mimicore. And with one final agreement from Katar, she made her decision.

Shifter laughed as he stared at the girls, firing his laser near them whenever one tried to get up and fight back.

"Face it. There's nothing you can do that'll stop me right now." He fired at Twilight and she barely managed to roll out of the way. "You humans are so pathetic. No wonder you needed to force Mimics to fight your battles for you. Well this is revenge for what you made me do to my brother."

Twilight glared at him. "Flash. Please. You have to fight this."

"Flash isn't here right now. Deal with it." He moved closer and had his weapon pointed right at her head, planning to shoot her right between the eyes.

But before he fired, a portal opened up and Shifter stopped. He expected Morphic or Changeling, but wasn't expecting Fleur to step through the portal. And neither did the Rainbooms.

"What are you doing here?" Shifter aimed his weapon at her. "If you've come to try and apologise, forget it. You've already signed your death warrant."

"I'm not here to apologise," Fleur stated. "I'm here to help my host stop you from hurting her friends." Everyone who heard this was shocked, the Rainbooms due to hearing Katar in command whilst Shifter was shocked by her confident words.

"Since when have you been so tough?"

"Since Fleur and I agreed to work together and stop you from destroying her world." With that, she blinked and her eyes seemed to change somehow.

"That's right." Now it was Fleur in the driver's seat. "You might be strong, but you're all alone." In that moment, a Mimic Driver appeared around her waist. She then took out the Mimicore Corvyn had given her, which now had words running along the side of it. And as she pressed the button, it activated and showed pink lights that made the image of a butterfly in multiple poses.

"FLUTTER!"

Fleur opened the Driver and placed the device inside, then struck a pose that was a lot more graceful than the poses everyone else used. "Henshin!" She spun on the spot and as she did, she slammed the Driver closer.

"MIMIC! BUTTERFLY!"

Fleur crossed her arms, but did so downwards in front of her stomach instead of her chest. As she did, the pipes on the side of the dive unleashed the slime and it flew up above her before raining down and forming a shell around her body.

Everyone watched in amazement, as the cocoon formed for several moments before slowly cracking apart. And eventually, it shattered to reveal a figure in a pink suit with white lines covering it.

The amber flew down and melted into her body to form the armour, changing to a transparent light blue. The armour around her arms and legs were very simple, though her boots had a slight heel to them, but her chest armour was much more feminine looking. The armour even formed a skirt of some kinds around her hips, though it was open at the front and the back.

The mask covering her helmet was shaped like a butterfly, with her eyes glowing through the wings and a pair of antennas coming off the mask. The mask didn't cover her mouth, which had a white mouth plate like Morphic. Finally, Her eyes turned yellow as the white lines changed to light blue and on the back of her chest armour, a pair of small butterfly wings could be seen.

As the armor finished forming, the lights on the side of the driver turned pink before it spoke up. "A graceful wing beat, creates a hurricane of power!"

The Rainbooms stared at her in amazement, the new Kamen Rider walking forward with each step having a confident stride. And as she did, Shifter growled.

"Seriously?" He put his weapon away, "They made you a Kamen Rider?"

"Katar and I decided that we won't allow the powers we have to go to waste. We might not enjoy fighting, but we'll fight to protect the things we love." She pointed at Shifter. "You made a big mistake, attempting to destroy my world and everything in it that I love. Now," she got into a pre-charge stance, "prepare to feel my fury."

"Raaah!" Shifter charged, with Fleur following. The pair collided and Shifter started throwing kicks and punches at her, but Fleur's graceful body and gymnastics training was allowing her to bend and swerve out of the way.

As they did this, the Rainbooms picked themselves up. "I can't believe she became a Rider," Pinkie stated.

"Awesome!" Rainbow cheered. "Finally, a girl gets in on the action."

"Is this a good idea?" Fluttershy asked looking worried. "Fleur doesn't really know what she's doing, whilst Shifter's supercharged using the Maleficore." They realised she was right. If Shining and Thorax couldn't beat him in that form, what hope did she-

"HEEYAH!" Fleur spun around and leapt into the air, slamming her foot into Shifter's chest and knocking him backwards.

"Gyah!" Shifter hit the ground, as Fleur landed and the Rainbooms looked shocked. "What?" Shifter pushed himself up, "Impossible. I have the Maleficore. My power should dwarf yours!"

"Maybe," Fleur smirked under the mask, "or maybe I have something that makes me more powerful than the Maleficore could ever make you." Shifter growled, as he took out his Shift Striker again. "Grace Grazer!" Suddenly, part of her gauntlet melted down into her hand and reformed.

When it did, Fleur was holding a round blue tube that fit completely in her hand. The ends both had small orbs on the end of them, with one of those orbs having a pointed spike on the other side.

Fleur swung the tube around and when she did, the spike tipped orb flew off it but remained attached by a long pink ribbon. And as she began to spin around, the ribbon twirled around her without the spike touching her.

Shifter tilted his head. "You've got to be kidding me." Fleur reached him and as he tried to stab her with his rapier, the ribbon hit the weapon and wrapped around it. Fleur then stopped spinning and pressed a button on the side of the device, causing the ribbon to suddenly retract until it went taut and almost pulled the Shift Striker out of Shifter's hand.

Fleur then thrust a leg up and slammed it into Shifter's stomach, knocking the wind out of him.

"Augh!" He staggered back, managing to yank the weapon out of her hand. He then thrust the sword forward at incredible speed, stabbing at her several times. But Fleur retracted all but a foot of the ribbon back into the handle, allowing her to swing it around with impressive control.

This caused the spike on the tip to hit the rapier every time Shifter jabbed, deflecting it. And when Shifter finally stopped, she spun and extended the ribbon to full length, causing the tip to hit Shifter in the chest again.

"GYAH!" He was knocked backwards, clutching his chest as he did so.

"Amazing," Rarity gasped. "She's completely outclassing him. What could be allowing her to fight so well?" The others wondered the same things, until Twilight realised the one difference between her and the other Riders.

"Katar." Her friends turned to her. "Katar is working with her. They're working together. It's not like Sheave, whose keeping Flash trapped. Or Shining and Thorax, who are using the bodies of their Mimics but keeping them trapped in their minds. They're working together, in harmony."

"Of course," Sunset smiled. "A body with two minds at odds can't be better than a body with two minds working as one. Even with the Maleficore, Sheave can't stand up to that."

Shifter changed his Shift Striker to Pierce form and started firing, but Fleur started dancing around and used her weapon to dodge and deflect all the attacks. She then spun around and thrust her ribbon forward, attempting to stab Shifter in the chest.

But Shifter's wings extended and he leapt into the air, flying high whilst he kept firing. But this just resulted in the same result. "You're not safe up there!" Fleur stated, as her small butterfly wings suddenly melted before growing larger. And when they solidified, they were as big as she was and she leapt into the air.

She flew up towards Shifter, who kept firing only for her to deflect each and every attack.

When she reached him, she started dealing powerful kicks to him. He tried his best to avoid them all, but Fleur's movements were too unpredictable and he couldn't keep up with her. But he did seem to be a faster flyer, allowing him to get away from her before she could deal too much damage.

He couldn't, however, escape her Grace Grazer and she fired it at him before he got out of range.

The ribbon soon wrapped around his leg and with a strong pull, she yanked him back towards her before dealing a kick right to her chest. "Gyah!" He was knocked away, but Fleur pulled him back again and repeated the process. This time, she slammed both her feet into him one at a time. And after pulling him back again, she rolled forwards and slammed the back of her heel into his head.

This finally allowed him to be free of her ribbon and he fell to the ground, crashing into it and dropping his Shift Striker.

He groaned, as Fleur landed and retracted her weapon before launching it again. And as Shifter picked himself up, the spike on the end of the ribbon stabbed into his wing. "GYAH!" The spike ripped right through it, retracting and doing more damage to keep him from flying.

The Rainbooms could hardly believe Shifter was being so easily beaten. And as Fleur's weapon melted back into her gauntlet, she reached down and slammed the side of her Driver.

"CLIMATIC FLUTTER!"

Fleur's wings grew to full size, as a bunch of strange pink dust began to fly off them. And as Fleur flew upwards, the wing beats caused the dust to fly towards Shifter and surround him in a large cloud. "Gyah!" He staggered around, trying to blow the dust away with his wings. But it wasn't working.

Once Fleur was high enough, she then dived down towards Shifter. She picked up a bunch of speed and when she reached the dust cloud, she spun forward as her wings shrank back down and she thrust both feet down towards the cloud.

The speed her legs flew forward caused the cloud to dispel revealing Shifter seconds before both her feet slammed into him. And the impact caused all the dust that had covered him to suddenly ignite.

"AUGH!" The explosion that followed blew the Rider backwards and he flew a good few feet before landing, as sparks covered his body and he flinched out in pain.

Fleur landed and everyone watched with a pain in their guts. Seeing Shifter get defeated wasn't something they had ever wanted to experience, even if he was no longer the hero they had grown to love. And knowing that Flash was in there made it even worse.

Shifter panted, as his armor began to melt off of him and his suit vanished.

Sheave pushed himself up, clutching his side as he did so. He glared at Fleur and the Rainbooms before turning towards the device he had plugged into the power station. It wasn't fully charged, but had no choice. "It'll have to do." He rushed over and pulled the device out, the girls looking worried as a portal opened up. "Don't think you've won. This battle is far from over." But just as he was about to leave, he remembered he had dropped his Shift Striker and the Pierce Mimicore.

Looking around, he saw it. But before he could try and retrieve it, Twilight used her magic to pull it towards her.

She smiled, happy the weapon and core were no longer his to use. And as Fleur attempted to attack again, Sheave was forced to leap into the portal before it vanished.

"YEAH!" Rainbow cheered, "that's why I'm talking about."

"Fleur," Rarity smiled, "you were amazing." Fleur nodded, as she removed the Mimicore and changed back to human. As she did, the portal to Corvyn's lab opened. They all headed inside, happy they had claimed this victory.

Back at the power plant, Morphic, Maya and Frill continued their fight.

Frill slashed at him several times, but Morphic was able to avoid all the attacks. But before he could throw a punch, a web hit the side of his arm and yanked him off balance. This allowed Frill to launch several darts, which struck Morphic and blasted him back.

"Gyah!" He hit the ground and flinched, as the Mimics leapt over to the device that was sucking the power out of the power plant.

Just then, the thing beeped to show it had reached maximum capacity. The pair smiled and unplugged, as Morphic began to pick himself up. And as a portal formed, Morphic realised he had to do something. "Here goes nothing!" He punched the ground and sent energy flying towards them, the Mimics seeing this and realising it would explode in front of the portal.

As such, the pair leapt back just in time to avoid getting blown up. But this was what Morphic wanted and he thrust his fist forward.

The lasers flew at them and before either could stop it, they struck the power pack.

The Mimic's went wide-eyed and Frill dropped the device, as it sparked before completely exploding. The two ran away from it, as the energy was released and sent bolts of energy everywhere. Frill and Maya glared at Morphic, as he stood up. They then ran into the portal, their mission a failure.

Morphic sighed, as he looked down at the destroyed power pack. All the while, he wondered why they wanted that power.

Back at the dam, High launched another lightning strike towards Changeling.

The Mantis Rider leapt into the air and avoided the bolt, as he threw his blades towards High. But the Tiger Mimic leapt backwards and the swords completely missed her, instead flying back towards Changeling and landing in his hand. As this was happening, the device plugged into the dam's systems beeped.

"Fully charged!" Greye laughed as he quickly rushed to unplug everything. Once he did, a portal opened up.

"You're not getting away!" Changeling cried, rushing after them. But the pair managed to leap through the portal and disappeared. "Damn it!" He growled, wishing he knew why they wanted that power.

Back at the base, Greye and High arrived with the power pack in hand.

They soon spotted Sheave off to the side, groaning as he had healing gel applied to him. "What the heck happened to him?" Greye asked, as Sombra saw their power packs whilst working on the one Sheave had brought back. "Those girls couldn't have done that!"

"No," Sheave stated. "Your little traitor has officially joined the losing side. She's become a Kamen Rider."

"Seriously?" High asked, as Frill and Maya frowned off to the side. Sombra said nothing, as he picked up the power pack. "Now what do we do?"

"We do nothing," Sombra stated in a serious tone. "We'll deal with the new Rider in time but until then, wait for further instructions." The Mimics nodded, as he headed out of the room. They all wondered where he was going, but knew not to ask questions. Instead, they would focus on healing and preparing for when they were needed again. And they doubted that would be long.

At the lab, Shining and Thorax stared at the new Kamen Rider as she stood before them.

"So you decided to join the fight?" Shining asked, he and Thorax having revealed themselves to her now that she was part of the team. "And you're sure about this? Being a Kamen Rider is dangerous."

"I know," Fleur nodded back. "And so does Katar. We're both going to fight and stop the Mimics. Because Katar hopes that if we stop the ones attacking, younger Mimic who haven't done anything might have the chance to change their fate."

"You really think something like that's possible?" Thorax asked, turning to Corvyn as if to ask his opinion.

"Honestly, I have no idea. After what they did to my world, I want to say they're incapable of change. But nothing is impossible. And if Katar was willing to turn away from their evil ways, others could follow in her footsteps."

"Either way," Shining stated. "Now we're back to three Riders."

Off to the side, the Rainbooms watched and Twilight sighed. "I wish it was four." Nobody said anything, but they all agreed. However, Pinkie chose to change the subject.

"Hey, we need to come up with a name for Fleur. Something to call her so people don't know who she is." The others realised she was right and all thought about it, trying to think of something that might fight with the other Riders.

But Fleur and Katar had already come up with something. "I've already picked a name." They turned to her, as her eyes flashed and her voice seemed to double up as two people seemed to be speaking. "We are Kamen Rider Hudie. And we will stop the Mimics." The others were amazed by this, both by the name and how they seemed to talk at the same time.

Though they had lost Shifter, they now had a new Rider that could go toe to toe with him. They might not know what the Mimics were planning, but they were ready to face them no matter what. And hopefully, they could claim victory against them before it was too late.

Within the office of Dark Industries, a bright light filled the air. And from out of it, Sombra appeared carrying the two power packs that had been charged.

As the portal closed, Sombra looked around and checked the door. Locked, just as he had left it. Nobody would be disturbing him. As such, he moved over to a bookshelf and pulled on a book. Doing so caused part of the shelf to slide away, revealing a hidden elevator.

He climbed in and rode it down, through the building until he reached an area beneath it. Once there, he stepped out and found himself in an almost pitch black room.

As he stepped through it, parts of it lit up a little bit and he soon reached a device that had a bunch of wires sticking out of it. "There is a new Rider." He plugged the power packs into it. "A powerful one, it seems. If we want to truly deal with them, we'll need to even the odds."

The energy from the power packs flew into the machine and into the wires, flowing towards a dark section of the room. And when they did, a slight glow filled it.

That glow was coming from a person hidden within the shadows. Someone wearing a Mimic Driver that was beginning to power up. "Be ready. Once you're powered up, I expect great things from you."

Author's Note

Oh yeah. Kamen Rider Hudie. Hope you guys like the design and her fighting style. Not many Riders seem to use whips and ribbons. Hopefully, she can show why some should consider it. And who is that mysterious hidden figure? Only time will tell.
