A collection of Short stories and one-shots that will not let me go until I writen and posted them. All up for adoption.

Just a small collection of ideas and what-if's that comes to my mind when I'm having writer's block (basically getting so many ideas that I can't sort them all). This is mainly to help me clear my mind of the ideas and maybe even get them 'adopted' to a good home. This is also to hopefully get more people to create crossovers that come from other countries besides America. If it does work yay, if it doesn't oh well.

This story will be spontaneously updated so don't expect a schedule unless I get an influx of first chapters/one-Shots. It will also contain a wide variety of categories but hopefully stay within the teen/kid friendly range.

Gaiking: Legend of Twilight Sparkle

GaiKing: The Legend of Twilight Sparkle

Chapter 1

Legends Reborn: Flare Up; Bonds of Friendship!

When it comes to ponies, they are like diamonds; with multiple facets or parts to each one. Some hidden, others out in the open constantly. For one Twilight Sparkle, many of her parts are out in the open for all to see. But there is one part that few know about, even her parents, big brother, and Princess Celestia. The only ponies really privileged to know these parts are her old foal-sitter Princess Cadance and her assistant -little brother figure- Spike. And it all revolved around one of Twilight’s adventures as a foal. Unfortunately that secret was about to be revealed thanks to Queen Chrysalis; which will create a new legend. One that Princess Celestia did not even see coming despite all of her years as a princess.

GaiKing

Twilight smiled as she saw her big brother Shining Armor and oldest friend/foal-sitter Candance nuzzle each other happily. Unlike what her friends had thought; she wasn’t against either of them getting married at all -thought she was more than a bit miffed that Shiny had waited until the last minute to tell her about their marriage when Candace had told her about his proposal to her almost a year ago after Discord’s release. Unfortunately the good times came to an abrupt end when the entirety of Canterlot began to shake as Queen Chrysalis’ voice echoed through the castle walls.

“IF I CANNOT HAVE THE LOVE OF THE PONIES IN EQUESTRIA!!! THEN NO PONY SHALL HAVE IT AT ALL!!!”

Everypony looked outside and gasped in shock as they saw a giant two legged monster rise from the ground like a demon. It stood as a height that was almost three times as tall as Canterlot’s highest peak and nearly reached the snow capped peak of the mountain it sat on. The monster itself was similar to a minotaur but had green armor like skin with one red eye and a spiked shell on it’s back with just a loin cloth certain parts of it from being seen.

All the ponies in the castle proper began to run about wildly in fear as the monster slowly lumbered it’s way to Canterlot with the intent of destroying it on it’s awakener's behalf. The only ponies not scared in the least bit was Twilight, Candace, and Spike.

“So, Daiyu was right,” she said startling those who did not know her secret.

“What do you mean Twilight?” Applejack asked but instead of an answer, Twilight raced off back inside the castle with Candace and Spike behind her.

Her friends, teacher and brother quickly raced after them shouting off questions to the trio who ignored them in favor of using their magic or claw to pull out a strange object out of their mane/subspace pocket. The object looked like a gold ring almost three inches in radius with a clear crystal core in the
middle that seemed to glow with an inner flame.

Soon the trio reached the highest balcony in the castle which was facing the slowly lumbering monster. Behind them, their friends/family stood behind them with Fluttershy quickly hiding her face from the monster with more fear racing through her body then she had ever felt before.

“Don’t worry Fluttershy,” Twilight said; the only one without fear in her small group of friends -Spike and Candace not included, “I’m going to call an old friend out to help us.

“What are you talking about Twilight?!?!” Rainbow Dash asked with a shout as she quickly flew over to Twilight’s side glaring at her, “From what I know, we’re your only friends?!?!”

“True,” Twilight replied to a now stunned pegasus, “My only pony friends. But my old friend isn’t a pony at all.”

[Gaiking: Legend of Daiku Maryu OST; TRACK 11]

With that she stepped up to the front, raised her gold ring up high as she shouted at the top of her voice, “RISE UP; DAIKU MARYU!!!!”

A strange roar echoed right after she said that and from the deep nearby lake; a huge column of water shot up into the air and something rose out of it. All the ponies behind Twilight -besides Spike and Candace- were stunned to see what looked like a wingless light blue metal dragon -over twice the size of the monster- with a golden horned skull like head, two limbs/feet, and silver spikes going down it’s back rise up from the water with a deep reverberating roar. It quickly floated over to the monster and swung around, it’s thick barbed tail slamming into the monster sending it flying before it landed in-between the monster and Canterlot shocking all the ponies there.

Celestia was stunned by the aura of power the metal dragon projected mentally and metaphysically as her senses screamed at her that this beast was not one to enrage despite her having more power then it since it’s will was even stronger and deeper than hers.

“Twilight,” she breathed out as she watched the dragon seemingly glare at the monster, “What is that???”

“That,” twilight said proudly, “Is the Demon Dragon of the Heavens; Daiku Maryu!” then a strange glint appeared in her eyes as she said something that stunned them all, “And with his help, I can defeat that monster.”

With that Twilight looked at Candace and Spike who nodded back before the young dragon and pony jumped on top of Candace who opened her wings and took off towards Daiku Maryu despite everypony calling out to them. Soon the trio were high above the demon dragon who looked at them as if waiting something. That something was Twilight suddenly jumping off Candace suddenly, falling towards Daiku who opened it’s fanged mouth and ‘swallowed’ the unicorn to her friend’s shock.

“I thought that dragon was going to help us!!! Not gobble Twilight up!!!” Applejack shouted at the top of her lungs ready to apple-buck the dragon with all her might while Rainbow Dash was ready to fly over to the dragon and demand it cough up her friend..

“I’m not dead yet,” Twilight’s voice came out of nowhere stunning the ponies until they saw another ring similar to the one Twilight had at Celestia’s feet.

Inside Daiku’s head, Twilight had transformed, her back legs lengthening until they became similar to a minotaur’s but with one bend in her legs instead of two, her front legs also lengthened but changed to become hands similar to a Diamond Dog’s but with four fingers instead of three -not including the thumb. Her body also lengthened with two strange ‘balloons’ appearing on her chests. Her body was still furred but it had turned to white instead of the familar lavender as her mane suddenly spiked up and gained colors similar to a fire with her tail also gaining the same colors while her eyes turned ruby red.

The last thing that had changed was a strange dark blue and black covering formed over her body from the neck down with gold armor on her chest reminiscent of Daiku’s skull. There was additional armor on her shoulder, wrists -with the right one connected to the strange gold ring Twilight had-, and the front of her hooves. The transformed unicorn landed in a seat with handles on the armrests where her new hands were with pedals at her hooves and a small monitor hanging above her legs in front her her chest.

[End Track 11]

[Gaiking: The Legend of Daiku Maryu opening by Psychic Lover]

When Twilight took ahold of the handles, lines of flames appeared behind her seat and to the sides with a large circular screen appearing behind the monitor and in front of the unicorn. “I’m sorry to keep this from you girls, Shiny, Princess Celestia,” Twilight said through the ring as she glared at the screen which showed a picture of the monster slowly getting up, “I did not think you would believe me if I told you about Daiku Maryu since he would not reveal himself unless these Armored Monster appear on Equestria. Hopefully I can make up for this later.” And with that she began to forge her own legend different from the one Celestia had planned for her with a shout of...

“DAIKU MARYU: LAUNCH HEAD!!!”

Outside Daiku, the dragon’s head suddenly flew off its body, slamming into the monster and sending him back into the dirt as Candace -who had vanished with a teleport along with Spike- also shouted through the ring as an opening appeared below Daiku’s neck., “LAUNCH GAIKING: PARTS 1 AND 2!!!”

Two black objects with crimson red parts shot out of the opening and towards Daiku’s head which flew up towards the sky as Twilight shouted, “BEGIN DOCKING SEQUENCE!!!”

One of the objects, which looked like two pointed cylinders with red wings on the back, suddenly split below the wings and spread apart forming a gap while the second part -which looked similar to the first one but with crimson four points stars on the sides instead of wings and silver pincers on the front- suddenly lengthened revealing white columns under the black and the pincers slid closer together.

“DAIKU HEAD, GAIKING PART 1; DOCK!”

Daiku’s head suddenly slowed down as the back of it connected to the gap with the cylinders swinging down until they were pointed below the skull which had become the chest.

A second later the second part flew up beneath the connected parts as Twilight shouted, “GAIKING PART 1, PART 2; DOCK!” and the pincer docked below Daiku’s head causing more parts to shift around as the stars twisted around forming knee caps while the bottom of Part 2’s the cylinders shifted around to form feet. The points of the cylinders on Part 1 suddenly pulled back with a burst of flames revealing hands as the top of Daiku’s head slid back revealing a smaller white head with a black mask, red crest, and the horns of Daiku on the sides. The eyes of the smaller head began to shine as flames appeared behind Daiku’s own as Twilight shouted the name of the Fighting Flame Giant of the Heavens.

“GAIKING~!!!!”

The newly names Gaiking landed in front of the standing monster as Twilight smirked with a, “Docking Complete.” And with that she charged at the monster with a war cry which was reciprocated as the
‘minotaur’ threw a right hook which Gaiking pushed to the side ,spark flying from the armor, before punching the monster as Twilight expertly manipulated the handles/throttles with the ease of a pianist playing a piano.

Princess Celestia, Shining Armor, all of Twilight’s friends watched in shock as the seemingly innocent unicorn battled the monster with ease similar to a veteran fighter despite the oddly shaped body. Twilight easily dodged another attack as she had Gaiking jump back with the help form the wings and pack on her back before activating one of the giant’s many attacks.

“DESPAIR SIGHT!!!” Twilight shouted, slamming a button that appeared on the side of the cockpit with her call as Gaiking’s eyes began shining before beams of energy shot out of them and sliced one of the monster’s arms off causing it to scream in pain as the unicorn mare shout out another attack.

“ZAUL GEYSER!!!” This time the attack came out of Daiyu’s eyes with the right one releasing a red beam while the left released a blue one. Seconds after being fired the beams began to swirl together in a helix before it hit the monster who roared in pain as its right arm was sliced off.

“How do you like that?!?!” Twilight shouted with a grin which quickly changed into a dropped jaw as she saw the stumps bubbling where the arms were cut off before four more arms burst out -two for each socket- while the cut off arms dissolved into pink smoke.

“AW, COME ON!!!” Rainbow Dash shouted in rage with Pinkie adding.

“NOW THAT’S CHEATING!!!”

The monster just ignored the little ponies as it began to attack Gaiking once more with double the attacks. Twilight had Gaiking duck, dodge, and block any attack getting a few hits in herself... Until an unlucky backstep threw her off balance enough for the ‘minotaur’ to grab Gaiking’s legs with all four arms and swing the metal giant around. Twilight screamed as she was twirled around before the monster let go and Gaiking flew through the air before slamming down into the ground, forming a crater from the power behind the throw. A second later the monster began to gather black/dark green flame like energy in its hands it then slammed the balls of energy together before releasing it as a beam which pierced the air before slamming into Gaiking and exploding.

“TWILIGHT!!!!” Celestia, Shining, and the unicorn mare’s friends shouted in shock.

Unfortunately this caused the monster to look at them and start lumbering towards them...Until a familiar voice called out from the smokey crater, “PUNCHER GRIND!!!”

Suddenly Gaiking’s fist shot out of the smoke via a trail of fire which came out of the part where it connected at the elbow and slammed into the monster before Twilight’s voice called out again.

“ZECTOR HOOK!!!”

A cone tipped line also shot out of the smoke, connected to the fist/forearm and reeled it back into the smoke to the shock and delight of the ponies watching as a figure slowly started to appear in the smoke.

“You thought you could defeat me with such weak flames,” Twilight asked as Gaiking’s eyes glowed through the smoke, “As long as my friends are at my side, with their own flames burning bright; and my family, my second mother: Celestia, and big sister: Candace are watching...I WILL NOT FALL TO A MONSTER LIKE YOU!!!!!” the final shouted caused the smoke to quickly dissipate as Gaiking’s power burst out of it in a flaming aura making the monster take a few steps back.

Celestia gasped in shock at what Twilight said and watched as Gaiking’s power rise to heights near her own as the metal giant charged forward; its pilot roar out a war cry filled with courage and an iron will. The monster tried to counter attack with a double right punch; but the Flame Giant easily dodged the attack before catching the ‘minotaur’ with ir’s horn and lifting him to the skies with a roar of its own.

“VOLT PARALYZER!!!” Twilight shouted as millions of volts suddenly coursed through the monster causing it to roar in pain as the thing that allowed it to regenerate was destroyed.

Twilight then took her new hands off the throttles as crimson flames covered them and her forearms forming gold/polished bronze gauntlets from the arnor on her wrists that the mare soon used to grasp the monster -through Gaiking- and began swinging him around.

“AW YEA TWILIGHT!” Rainbow Dash, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie shouted with Shining Armor adding his two bits in.

“GIVE HIM A TASTE OF HIS OWN MEDICINE!!!’

“TAKE HIM OUT TWILIGHT,” Fluttershy also shouted to her friends’ shock as her normal inhibitions were temporarily disable seeing her friend almost die on her.

Twilight smirked inside Gaiking’s cockpit before throwing the monster up into the air, readying the finisher.”Taste the power of my flames, along with THE FLAMES OF MY FRIENDS AND FAMILY!!!!” Twilight said building up into a shout as she crossed the giant’s arms in front of Daiku’s head which began to glow in the eyes and mouth along with Gaiking’s and Twilight’s as her magic infused itself into this final attack.

Once the output was at the correct level -a whirring sound coming from the giant- Twilight then let loose Gaiking’s most powerful attack, throwing her arms and the giant’s out to the side as she shouted...

“HYDRO BLAZER!!!!”

Suddenly, bright crimson flames shot out of Daiku’s mouth and eyes, brighter and more powerful than anything Celestia had ever seen before. The flames spiraled through the air and towards the monster who could do nothing but scream in rage as its body was quickly bombarded by the flames; turning most of it’s body to ash.

When the attack finished, Twilight turned Gaiking around and took a pose as the monster suddenly exploded, creating an awe inspiring sight.

[End Gaiking Opening]

All the ponies watching had their jaws on the floor with what they just saw. Only one of them had any words that really summed the situation up...

“That was Awesome!”

Guess who said that???

Author's Note

The first of many ideas that I really can't continue mainly because I'm not sure where to go with it.

Gaiking: Legend of Daiku Maryu is a 2005 remake of the 1976 anime show called Daiku Maryu Gaiking that featured the same designs for Gaiking and Daiku Maryu; but the story and main character was completely different along with a few other things. The reason I chose Twilight to be Gaiking's pilot was for two simple reasons; the Pinkie Sense episode... And this Picture.

And since Gaiking needs to be piloted by someone with a strong will/flame... Twilight Sparkle seemed to be the best candidate on Equestria outside of a dragon.

Fluttershy's Newest Buddy

Fluttershy’s Newest Buddy

Part 1: Gentle as a Lamb With a Heart of a Ri-oh (Lion)!

The nicest and most sweetest pony in Ponyville ran crying after she was scared out of her wits by a mean griffon that was supposedly Rainbow Dash’s friend. She did not know how long she ran; but she kept going until her body finally gave out and she crashed to the ground; her eyes still flowing with tears. A few seconds later she heard a soft growl similar to a manticore's but artificial in a way.

Slowly, Fluttershy looked up and saw a huge pair of golden yellow eyes, bigger than even a full grown dragon’s, glaring at her. And without even thinking, the poor pegasus screamed in fear before curling up into a ball; too tired to run despite the adrenalin coursing through her veins. After a while, she heard the creature growl again, but much softer than before; as if telling Fluttershy it would not harm her.

With daring that seemed to come from nowhere; Fluttershy slowly looked up once more and saw that the creature’s eyes, despite being fixed in a glare, showed kindness and sorrow for what it did. The creature growled softly once more and Fluttershy’s ability to understand creatures was finally unclogged of her fear.

“You... you don’t w-want to hurt me?” she asked tentatively and was shocked to see the creature nod it’s head. She looked around and finally saw where she was. “Y-you’re the one that chased all of the naughty creatures away from Ponyville when they appear!”

Another roar answer her which confused the pegasus mare some, “You only scared them away...Because of your...Programing?”

Instead of answering Fluttershy’s question, it stepped out into the light causing the mare to gasp in shock as she saw its or rather his giant metal body that reminded Fluttershy of an animal she heard about that lived in the country Zecora was born in.

“Your so handsome,” the mare gasped out in awe which -if it was possible- caused the metal creature to blush at the praise before it growled out a question.

Shrinking into herself slightly, Fluttershy lived up to her name as she softly said, “It’s a long story I shouldn’t bother you with.”

A soft growl and something large gently nudging her caused the mare to look up into kind questioning eyes and after a while she finally let loose with her story. As she explained why she had ran into the Everfree forest, the creature slowly started to become enraged at the fact that someone would purposefully scare a kind mare like Fluttershy for their own amusement. Once the story was over the crying mare felt the creature gently nudge her with its nose as he growled softly.

‘I’m okay,” she replied while wiping her tears away, “I just wish I was stronger sometimes.”

Another growl, this one with a bit more power behind it, quickly brought Fluttershy’s attention to the creature. Thought his growls, he told the mare about what he saw three months ago when the night lasted far longer than it should have and reminded her that while he might not be strong physically, her mental and spiritual strength was far greater than she herself was lead to believe.

The butter furred Pegasus blushed at the praise the creature gave her which quickly turned to fright when a familiar high pitched voice appeared behind her.

“HEY FLUTTERSHY!!!”

As Pinkie Pie appeared, fluttershy disappeared just as quickly confusing the Earth Pony Mare, until she looked up and saw the poor pegasus shuttering on top of the creature’s muzzle.

“Sorry about that Fluttershy,” the pink mare apologized rubbing the back of her head briefly before reaching into her saddlebag and pulled out an envelope. “Here’s an invitation to a party for Gilda!’

Pinkie set the invitation down and took off calling over her whitters, “See you there Fluttershy and...” saying the creature’s name despite only meeting him just now.

As the mare took off, the creature was stunned that a pony he never met had somehow knew his name and growled out a question.

“Pinkie always seems to know things like that,” the pegasus mare replied as she gingerly fluttered down from the creature’s muzzle and picked up the invitation. “So that is your name... It is very unique and fits you quite well.”

Once again in a metal creature like him could have blush he would. At that moment he decided to help the mare and lightly growled at her. Fluttershy watched as the creature’s eyes glowed slightly before they released a soft yellow light that engulfed the mare. When it died Fluttershy saw that she now had a new accessory for her left foreleg that looked like a blue, black, and silver watch of sorts but with a strange extension on the part closest to her knee that held a strange transparent yellow object with a button on the other side. The creature growled out what the object was which stunned the vet as she gazed at it in wonder.

“Thank you for this gift,” she said looking up at the creature with a shy but happy smile, “And do not worry. You will get to met Gilda before she leaves.” And with that she trotted back to Ponyville happily as she started to look forward to the party.

Time Skip

When the party for the griffon finally started, she watched as Gilda was pranked time and time again by Rainbow Dash but was so set on thinking that it was Pinkie that when she finally accused her of it and found out that it was Dash, she exploded. When she walked out of the door, the shy pegasus mare quickly followed after her to the confusion of the other ponies who chased after her.

“Excuse me Gilda,” Fluttershy called out in her usual voice getting the griffon to violently turn around, glaring at her.

“What do you want dweeb?” she hissed at the mare thinking she was going to do like she did last time and cower in fear.

Keeping her nerves steady, Fluttershy said, “There is actually a friend I want you to meet who really would like to talk to you.” And with that she reached for the object on her leg, twisted the ring round the face of the watch, then pressed the middle of said watch stunning the ponies when it spoke.

=CALL MODE!=

With that, she spoke into the object, saying, “You can come out now, Tategami Ri-oh.”

Not a second later a loud lion’s roar echoed out of the Everfree forest before the ground started shaking as something raced out of it. All the ponies -minus Pinkie- including Gilda gasped in shock as a navy blue, black, and gold mechanical lion -larger than a full grown dragon- charged out of the forest with a roar before jumping over half of Ponyville and landing behind Fluttershy who did not move an inch despite all the shaking with the same kind and gently smile on her face -thought to those who knew her well, it did have a hint of mischief in it.

“This is my new friend Gilda,” the pegasus mare introduced the glaring and growling mechanical lion as it tried to burn the now terrified griffon to the molecular level with his eyes alone, “And he wants to say something...”

The second she said that, Ri-oh suddenly got into Gilda’s face and let loose a roar so powerful and loud that it tore off all of the griffon’s feathers and fur leaving her as bare as the day she was born as she stared blankly at the lion

“He basically says,” Fluttershy translated, “Run...”

And that’s what Gilda did as she let loose a wild and terrified screech, taking off out of Ponyville so fast that her fallen feather and fur quickly followed after her.

All of Fluttershy’s friends could only stare in shock as the pegasus mare fluttered up to Ri-oh’s muzzle and petted it earning her a purr of happiness before she looked down at her friends -who had gathered at the paws of the mechanical lion- and asked one simple question.

“What do you girls think of my newest friend?”

Author's Note

And yet another bunny that would not leave me alone; though this one is actually my own fault. I was planning on adding one or two mechas to my other two stories I'm working on -or at least trying to- and this idea came to me when I was deciding on which mechas to use.

For those not in the know, Tategame Ri-oh (Lioh) comes from the recently ended Super Sentai series; Tokumei Sentai (Special-ops Squadron) Go-Busters. In it the three main characters (later on four) all have robotic partners called Buddy Roids that connect to their individual mechas called Zords -the first time a Sentai show has called their robots Zords- to help pilot them; forming the Buster Machines. Tategami Ri-oh is different as it combines the strength and power of a Zord with the intelligence and loyalty of a Buddyroid forming the first Buddy Zord.

In the show Ri-oh had the ability to choose who it's pilot/partner would be unlike its smaller Buddyroid comrades who were programed to protect a certain person unless asked and was extremely loyal to the Red Ranger/Buster once he and his Buster Machine Ace defeated him. While Fluttershy didn't defeat him in combat; I am more then certain he would chose her as his partner thanks to her kindness, gentle nature, and her inner strength that is like a lion's when roused -hence the name of this chapter.

The Ancient Ring Bearing Mage: Shining Armor

The Ancient Ring Bearing Mage: Shining Armor

Chapter 1

A Pinch is a Chance!

(Contains Anthro Ponies from ss2sonic)

When it comes to being a Captain of the Dawn Guard; there are a few things that they need to be able to do. One of them is being able to fully wake up at a moments notice if and when trouble strikes. For Captain Shining Armor -a pony who was use to waking up quickly thanks to his little sister Twilight- when he found himself waking up a lot slower than he normally would on a hard surface. It was the first of many signs that something was wrong. Aa his mind finally started to get up to speed, he also noticed he was still wearing his Full Dress Uniform and lying on the rocky ground of a Cave.

“Where am I?” he asked himself as he sat up rubbing his forehead under his horn with one of his hands.

“SHINY!!!” a familiar voice called out before he was slammed with a tackle hug by a familiar purple blur wearing a librarian style uniform.

“Twiley!” Shining replied as he saw his younger sister hugging him looking slightly beat up, “What happened to you???”

"You don’t remember Shining?” Another familiar -slightly peeved- voice reply causing the stallion to turn and face a familiar pink alicorn with purple eyes and a three toned mane/tail that was mess up along with the dress she wore.

“Candace?!?! What are you doing here?!?!” The unicorn asked as his shock deepened .

“I’ll give you one clue,” Candace replied still a bit steamed, “Changelings.”

That quickly got the Captain’s attention as his eyes hardened. “Tell me everything...”

A few minutes later Shining wished he knew a cloning spell so he could kick his own flank for what he did. “I’m so sorry Twiley, Candace. If I had been stronger mentally... None of this would have happened.”

“It’s okay Shiny,” Twilight replied with a sad smile, “Chrysalis fool everyone with her magic. I was the only one to have an idea that something was wrong; but because of the way I acted on the way here, no-pony believed me.”

Shining just smiled as he pulled his little sister into a hug, “It’s okay. I should have told you about our wedding earlier and not through a letter like I did.”

“Which I am still mad at you about,” Candace added glaring at her fiance, “How in Equestria could you tell your own little sister about our wedding through a letter AND a week before we were suppose to get married.”

The stallion could only winch in emotional pain as he replied, “I don’t have an excuse at all. Though I do hope to make up for it later; if you two are willing to let me.”

The two mares looked at each other briefly -talking mentally as only sister can- before looked at Shiny with slightly evil grins on their face. “Oh can think of a few things to make up for your mistakes,” the two said with such synchronicity that the stallion could not help but gulp in fear.

“But we can worry about that later,” Twilight added making her brother breath a brief mental sigh of relief, “We still need to think of a way out of here.”

“But how?” Candace replied, “The caves make it impossible to use magic to get out of here, Shiny had most of his magic taken from him, and I don’t know any combat spells since we may need to fight our way out of here..”

[MacGyver Intro Theme]

Twilight just looked around their surrounding with a hum, before an idea came to her. “I think I have an idea just crazy enough to work.” And with that she began to gather the needed supplies for their escape as her brother and soul sister looked on in confusion.

A few seconds later the two older ponies looks of confusion had turned to shock as Twilight had somehow cobbled together pieces of their surrounding such as partly hollowed out crystals, shaving from certain rocks, pieces of Candace’s dress, and some strange metallic like sand.

“What in my aunt’s name are you doing?” Candace asked as she watched her little sister put the pieces together inside the hollowed crystals.

“Just a little bit of extra insurance for when we escape,” Twilight mysteriously replied.

Shining on the other hand/hoof recognized what his little sister was doing. “Taken a few cues from MacGyver huh?” He asked as he was reminded of one of his fellow guards who was more of a ‘problem solver’ then a fighter.

Twilight just grinned as she reached into a hidden pocket of her dress and pulled out a familiar knife. “He did teach me a few things BBBFF,” she said before adding, “Stay low, move fast, think smart...”

“...And if you go,” Shining finished as Candace looked at them strangely, “take company along.” The two chuckled/giggled as Twilight finished her ‘surprises’

On the other side of the ‘prison’ three Changeling Guards were doing their rounds when they heard some banging on the rock. Growling, one of the guards marched over to the rock and with his magic opened it like a pair of sliding doors ready to smack the princess who had been doing that for over a week now.

A second later a bright flash of light blinded all three before darkness took over. Twilight, Shining, and Candace smiled as they stood over the downed Changeling guards with large pieces of rocks in their hands. “Let’s get out of here,” Shining suggested which the two mares agreed as Twilight grabbed the three other ‘flash bangs’ she had created.

And with that the three of them took off, racing as fast as they could out of the caves and dodging the Changeling Guards. After a while they found an old minecraft rail system they could use to get out. Unfortunately, just as they found it, an alarm started to sound.

“Horsefeathers, they found out about our escape,” Shining Armor commented as Twilight looked around and spotted something.

“I found a minecart!” She said, handing the crystals to Candace before racing towards it. After a bit of shoving and pushing, the cart was now over a downward slope of the track just as the sound of guards started to get closer.

Without thinking and a quick look around, Shining forced both Cadence and Twilight into the cart, startling them, “I’ll hold them off, you two stop the wedding and save Canterlot.”

“But what about you?” Candace asked as her fiance grabbed the ‘flash bangs’ and used a little bit of his remaining magic to ignite the cloth fuses.

“Consider this part of my apology for what I did,” he said before giving the cart a strong kick to push it over the edge.

“SHINING~!!!” The two girls shouted out as they unwillingly raced down the tracks to safety.

Turning to the charging insects, Shining Armor waited until the last second before throwing the improvised bombs and jumping over the edge onto a nearby ledge he had seen briefly just as the ‘flash bangs’ went off. Unfortunately when he landed, the stallion accidentally pressed his hand against the hand against a part the wall where a seal was, causing it to crumble behind him. With a cry of alarm, Shining slid down the rocky tunnel and slammed into the ground when his ride ended.

“Ow,” the captain groaned out as he slowly sat up with his eyes adjusting to the light that the crystals gave out. “Never doing that again.”

As he looked around, he started to notice the place he was in wasn’t naturally made; the biggest clue being the stone altar in the middle of the ‘room’. “Where am I?” He asked fully standing up and looking around.

Soon he neared the stone altar and saw that the top of it had octagon shaped seal on top of it with a strange object embedded in the middle. It looked like a golden mask in the shape of a square with green eyes and a small red rectangle on its forehead. Without thinking he gently took the object and gently pulled it out to reveal a loop behind the mask.

“A ring?” he asked himself just before the seal started to glow a golden color. “Horse feathers!!!” He cursed and got ready to run when the seal suddenly ‘spit out’ a strange device that looked like a black belt buckle but thicker with silver double gate doors on the front, slots on the side, the right side shaped to resemble the ring he picked up, and gold shining in-between the gates and the buckle itself.

Slowly, Shining inched towards the altar -taking care to keep his muscles ready to jump away- and gently poked the buckle. When nothing happened, the stallion grasped the buckle and -taking a deep breath- pulled the buckle from the altar and jumped away. After a few seconds of nothing happening, Shining sighed and let his hand -which held the buckle -drift to his waist.

Suddenly, the captain heard something and looked down to see the buckle form a belt which wrapped around his waist holding it tight.

“Not Again!!” the stallion cursed and was about to try and pull the buckle off when green energy exploded at his feet.

Rolling to the side away from the explosion, Shining looked towards the opening and saw a small group of Changelion guards enter, their spears and swords pointed at him with jagged horns glowing with green energy.

“Well, I’m in a pinch,” the stallion said as the Changelings slowly advanced on him.

“But a Pinch can be a Chance in disguise,” A deep ancient voice sounded from seemingly nowhere startling everyone, “Use The Ring, Shining Armor.”

“Ring?” Shining asked as he looked at the ring still in his hand. Taking a chance, the stallion quickly slid the ring onto his left hand then -through some strange mental probing- punched the ring into the left slot where it spoke with a drull roll.

=SET!=

He then twisted the ring causing the gates to fly open revealing a gold roaring lion’s head with red eyes and a bright light on it’s forehead. the back of the gate also had gold designs set into them; A flying falcon above a jumping dolphin on the right door with a buffalo jumping over a chameleon on the left door. As the doors opened, the buckle spoke again with a lion’s roar accompanying it.

=OPEN!=

Suddenly, Shining Armor felt his hands get flung to the side at the roar before all time seemed to stop. A second later, the world around captain faded into a golden void with a bright gold mist materializing in front of him quickly forming a monster larger than a manticore. It was a mechanical black and gold lion with green eyes that seemed to glare into his soul. An orange falcon’s head was on it’s right shoulder with a wing of the same color jutting out while the right shoulder had a light blue dolphin with a wing and a crimson red buffalo on its breastplate with golden horns and ring in its nose.

“I am Khimaira.” the creature said in the same deep ancient voice Shining heard before.

“Shining Armor,” Khimaira began to say as he walked around the still pony revealing a lime green Chameleon on it’s back with its tongue forming his tail, “You have opened the doors of the belt and become one with me.”

“Become one with you?” Shining asked as he tried to follow the monster as best he could stuck in the position he was in, “What do you mean?”

“As the ones before you,” Khimaira explained as he stopped in front of the captain, “If you feed me magical energy from your enemies; I will grant you great magical power to protect those precious to you as my favorite contractor -Nitoh Kosuke- had done before.”

“Your favorite contractor?” Shining asked hoping to get as much information as he could out of the monster, “Just how old are you?”

“Older than even your princesses Shining Armor,” Khimaira replied, “So old that i have had contractors who were human; the forerunners of your race.”

Shining eyes widen in shock when he heard about how Khimaira actually had contact with the mythical human race. But his thoughts were pushed to the side as the monster continued talking.

“Unfortunately if you do not feed me magic often I will be forced to take your life energy to sustain myself.” Shining eyes went wide at that as Khimaira continued, “Thankfully, you are one of the rare few contractors that has the magic inside you already awakened so your life will not be in danger at all. Just give me a little bit of your magic daily when you do not fight to keep me satisfied and during the times you do; I will feast on the magic that your enemies use against you to empower your own stores.”

Mentally breathing a sigh of relief before glaring at Khimaira as he said, “I will gladly become one with you as long as you promise to never force me to harm any innocents; especially the princesses and my family.”

Khimaira smiled as he heard this before he began the final process, “Now Shining Armor, defeat your enemies so I may devour their magical energies; as the Wild Ring Mage: KAMEN RIDER BEAST!!!”

And with a roar, Khimaira jumped towards and into Shining Armor, infusing him with greater magical power then what he had before. Back in the real world, the captain of the dawn guard began to glow brightly with a golden light as the belt spoke once more with a beat in the background.

=L-I-O-N; LION!=

The crystal inside the cave reflected the golden light tenfold blinding the Changelings as their once captive began to unleash hell on them. Small explosion and the occasional gulping sounds filled the room as the light slowly dimmed -briefly brightening before fully toning down. With the light fully gone, Shining Armor stood in the middle of the defeated Changelings with the belt that was wrapped around his waist changing into a black belt with a simple silver buckle in the shape of a pair of gates. There was also a new addition to his right hand; a black and silver ring octagon shaped ring that was slightly molded to look like his new buckle.,

“What a rush,” Shining said as his head slowly stopped spinning from the sudden adrenaline shot. Once he was back to normal, the captain decided to not stick around and quickly headed for the surface, hoping he got the Canterlot in time to make a difference in the coming invasion.

Time/Scene Skip

Unfortunately, things were not going so well back up top. Both Princess Candace and Princess Celestia had been captured with the Elements of Harmony also taken prisoner with their Artifacts hidden away somewhere. In the middle of everything Queen Chrysalis was gloating about her victory over the Princesses and the Elements...

At least until the doors to the main hall were slammed open sending a few Changeling guards flying. There, in the middle of the doorway was Shining Armor, glaring at the Changeling Queen.

“SHINY!!!” Twilight and Candace shouted in glee while everypony else was stunned.

“So,” Chrysalis began, “You escaped my guards and traps, Shining Armor.”

“Wasn’t that hard really,” Shining replied back with a confident smirk, “Your guards are not all that powerful.”

“And yet,” Chrysalis continued, “you still decided to confront me despite our difference in power.”

“If I still had my own power yes,” Shining fired off as he held up his right hand to show the ring on it, “but I have gained a new power in the catacombs beneath Canterlot.”

With that, Shining placed his right hand over his new buckle causing a golden octagon rune circle to appear between the two, morphing back into its original form as it spoke.

=DRIVER ON!=

He then held his left hand up to his right shoulder as he spoke the word Khimaira told him many of his previous contractors had used while moving his arm out to the side, “Hen~shin!”

Then he slammed be ring into the left slot and twist activating the Driver as the gates open for a second time that day.

=SET; OPEN!=
=L-I-O-N; LION!=

Shining then held his hand out to the sides as a larger version of the rune circle he used before; appeared before him as it moved over him. A bright golden light briefly blinded the audience before it died down and revealed a changed Shining Armor.

The stallion’s clothing had been replaced with an armored black bodysuit and white armored gloves. Some of the armor on his forearms, thighs, and chest with gold bracers on his wrists that had inscriptions of the four beasts on the doors of the Driver. Both of his shoulders guards were black with gold along the bottom but the left guard had a roaring gold lion’s head on it. Finally his head was completely covered with a golden helmet shaped to look like a lion slightly with a silver fanged mouth guard, green compound eyes, and a small red gem on his forehead where his horn would have been if it wasn’t inside the helmet somehow.

Every magic user watching was stunned by the ancient and powerful magic that Shining had accessed while Candace was drooling slightly with lust, seeing her fiance armored up and ready to kick some flank. Chrysalis was stunned as well since a powerful and raw killing intent was being focused directly at her without affecting anyone else. It was as if she was staring down a millenniums old dragon she had just stolen from.

“Who...What are you???” she asked through her trembling lips and body.

“I’m still Shining Armor,” the stallion replied with a shrug, “Captain of the DawnGuard, big brother to Twilight Sparkle, and fiance of Princess Candace. But I gained a new name after I found this armor and was chosen worthy of it; The Wild Ring Mage: Kamen Rider Beast!!!”

Shining then clapped his hands and rubbed them together, smirking under his helmet as he said, “Now as my predecessors would say... It’s Lunchtime!”
