I’m sure you heard the recent warnings about conventions right?
About how people are somehow disappearing with no explanation.
Well… I found out what happened to those people.
IT happened to me, and my only solstice is that… I didn’t dress up as my original costume.

Displaced Rider

May 29, 2915; the dawn of the second day of the Dallas Comic Con Fan Expo 2015; and twenty-four-year-old May Elizabeth Williams was ecstatic! This was going to be her first convention where she would actually be able to dress up as one of her favorite characters. Well not her all-time favorite; but it was a very close second. She checked over her clothes and make up one last time to make sure any imperfections were taken care of; even though she was only going to wear her costume once.

Her once lovely short dark brown hair was covered up by a long light blond wig that was closer to white or silver then its original color; broken up by a streak of crimson on the left side and burnt orange on the right. Her brown eyes were also covered up with a pair of contacts of similar color to the ones in her wig on the same sides. She wore a silver bodysuit with crimson lines going down from her neck to her wrists and ankles bordered by black with similar colored coded armor on her forearms as well as her thighs and feet forming greaves of sorts.

Silver armor riveted with crimson bolts bordered by burnt orange covered her midsection allowing matching colored armor to hang on her sides down to her knees and a shorter one on the front. May’s chest was also covered in silver armor; but modeled after a pinecone and bordered with crimson while molded around her breast which –along with her body shape- have always been affiliated with Xenovia Quarta from Highschool DxD just with normal colored hair, a natural tan, and a height difference (taller by a half a foot making her 6’ 4”). To finish off the look she wore a long pure white cape around her shoulders with a high collar that would have covered her head if it wasn’t folded back/down halfway.

All in all she was a near carbon copy of her second favorite character; Kouta Kazuraba, the Man of Beginnings, and Kamen Rider Gaim. Though there were a few differences between her costume and Kouta himself; besides being female that is…

For one, instead of using Kota’s original go to device for transforming –the L.S.-07; Orange Lockseed-; his female counterpart used its enhanced version, the L.S.-07 Blood Orange Lockseed after the original Orange Lockseed was destroyed by one of her rivals/enemies and the enhanced one had been purified of its dark taint by a priestess who lives neared ‘Kouta’s’ home city of Zawame. In additional; May’s self-made Kouta counterpart had also experimented with different Lockseed to see which ones fit her style better and explored the place where Lockseeds came from –the Helheim Forest- to find more making her have a larger collection of Lockseeds than in cannon.

In Fact on a table beside her was a case with the Lockseeds in question along with their accompanying transformation mechanism and the final piece of her costume. In the case itself was fifteen of her favorite Lockseeds on the top portion which included all four man made Energy Lockseeds, Kamen Rider Drive’s Lockseed, and both Heisei and Showa Rider Lockseeds. At the bottom was her Sengoku Driver with its modified Gaim Rider Indicator –which had crimson clouds instead of gold with burnt orange borders-, modified Blood Orange Lockseed –The black tendrils on the original recolored a burnt crimson-, Musou Saber, Genesis Driver Core, Lockseed Holder with her first three secondary go-to Lockseeds, and The K.L.S.-01; Kachidoki Lockseed.

The only thing that was missing was one Lockseed and its accompany part; the L.S.-∞/Infinity Kiwami Lockseed. May didn’t have the money when it first came out thanks to real life and afterwards it was just so expensive –when combined with middle man fees, packaging fees and so forth- with her normal budget or the seller ran out somehow that it wasn’t feasible to get it the normal way. Then she heard rumors of a merchant that, with the right price, could get you anything whether it was rare, out of the ordinary, or just that last little piece of a costume that you could not find normally/in time.

That was the main reason why May was going to the Dallas Comic Con Fan Expo in costume in the first place. According to the rumors, he only paid any attention to those who were in costumes that were out of the ordinary or exceptionally well made.

“Well,” May said to herself as she closed the case with her treasure and began walking to the front door where her friends were waiting, “Time to see if my luck is good or bad.”

7 Hours…

For seven hours, May had been looking around the expo for the rumored merchant and came up empty handed.

“Crap,” May cursed under her breath as she started to feel the weight of her costume and bought goodies nearly triple due to the long day.

She had gotten quite a few goodies she had her eye on all hidden by a small knapsack under her cape. Her method of replicating Kiwami Arms ability to summon all the Lockseed Weapons out of thin air.

‘I’m glad I got what I did,’ she thought to herself as she patted her nearly full knapsack before looking longingly at her case, ‘I just wish I could have found Kiwami. It would have made it a perfect day.’

“Excuse me! Woman of Beginnings!!!”

“Huh?” May asked as she looked around for who called her and soon enough found them as her eyes widen in shock.

There, standing at a non-descript booth wearing clothes similar to the Merchant from Resident Evil; was the very person she was looking for. And with that, May quickly jogged over to the man hoping that the rumors were true.

“Good eve to you; Woman of Beginnings,” the Merchant said with a strange grin on his face.

“Good eve to you Merchant,” May replied, “You’re just the person I was looking for.

That surprised the Merchant as he raised one eyebrow in shock, “Oh? And why would you be looking for a humble Merchant like myself?”

May reached into her knapsack, pulled out her iPhone and began looking through it, “I heard you usually offer rare and exotic items at these Comic Con and I was wondering if you happen to have this.” Finding the picture, the girl raised it up towards the Merchant, “The L.S.-∞/Infinity, Kiwami Lockseed with accompany Senyo Joint.”

Humming, the Merchant looked at the picture before snapping his fingers and began rifling through a nearby bag, “I do happen to have one in stock. It was sold to me a few months ago by a mother who wanted to ‘teach her teenage son about money. And sold it to me for half it’s usually cost without going through the middle man.”

“…What?”

“Indeed,” the man continued, “The thing is she thought he had used her money to buy it; but found out later it was his own hard earned money he had used instead. He was so pissed at her he actually packed up all of his things and left. Last I heard the woman herself was starting to have financial troubles while the kid is actually living nicely.”

Scoffing May could not help but flippantly say, “Well, she’s a credit to her gender.”

Chuckling the Merchant continued shuffling through his bag until, “Aha!” He found the very item May was looking for placed it on the table in front of him. May could not help but gasp in shock seeing her long –barely a year since she first saw Kiwami Arms in action- items. With a shaking hand she reached for the Lockseed and pressed the button on the side allowing the key portion of the special Lockseed to pop out of the bottom as it spoke.

FRUIT BASKET!!!

Barely suppressing a squeal of joy, May then asked the question which she had been dreading.
“How much?”

When the Merchant hummed a bit, May started to sweat until he said, “How about $60 even and I’ll throw in something that might go well with your costume.”

“SOLD; TAKE MY MONEY!!!!” May shouted so loud it startled everyone near her; but she didn’t care as she quickly grabbed her wallet and pulled out the amount needed. The Merchant chuckled as he reached for strange necklace with a silver coin on it that had the symbol of Gaim but in crimson.

“What is that?” May asked as she handed the Merchant his money before placing her Lockseed case on the table and gently placed her new Lockseed and Sengoku Driver part in their respective slot.

“It’s something they were going to have Gaku Sano wear when his character transformed into the Man of Beginnings; but left it out at the last second.”

May’s eyes could not go any wider as she heard that. An actual piece of clothing that was supposed to be a part of Kota’s God outfit… That was a very big score for her. With a shaky hand, May gently grasped the necklace and placed it over her head. But the moment she did, she started to feel dizzy. As the world began to spin around her, she saw a familiar man appear behind the Merchant that she shouldn’t have seen.

‘Sagara!’

A second later her vision went dark as Sagara waved cheekily to him while the Merchant said, “Have fun in a new world; Woman of Beginnings.”

“What the hell happened?” May groaned out as she felt herself come back to the conscious world in what looked like a forest of sorts. As she sat up, a strand of white/burnt orange hair came into her view irritating her slightly that she tried to pull off her wig.

“OW!!!”

Only to find out that it had somehow become her real hair; and that wasn’t the only thing that changed as somehow vines were growing around her, each one bearing multiple Fruits of Helheim –the premature form of Lockseeds. More importantly; her treasured Lockseed Toys were all around her with her Sengoku Driver somehow around her waist; the Musou Saber nowhere to be seen along with the Senyo Joint.

“What the heck happened to me?” The young woman asked as she reached for the first of the Lockseeds near her and picked it up; accidentally pressing the button on it.

BLOOD ORANGE!

May looked at her Lockseed strangely as it spoke in same tone as all natural Lockseeds instead of its original deep dark one; only to gasp as a familiar zipper sound echoed above her and quickly looked up.

“You got to be kidding me?!?!” She gasped in shock as she saw a familiar metal orange recolored crimson with gold lines, burnt orange flames, and a black top floating above her with a circular portal or rather Crack peering into a forest that should not have existed. Quickly the girl closed the lock in her hand causing the Crack to close back up like a zipper as the metal blood orange dispersed into crimson energy which shockingly went into the still stunned girl who was beginning to hyperventilate.

“What the holy fuck is going on?!?!” she shouted; only for someone to shout back; or rather scream.

“AAAHHHHHH~!!!!”

May’s startled state was shattered at the blood curling scream and without thinking quickly gathered up her Lockseeds and raced towards it only to think, ‘What the heck am I doing?’ But before she could think of an answer, May burst out of the forest and saw something that both startled her and made her blood heat up hotter than lava.

In front of her, just over the hill the forest sat on, was strange being that reminded May of ponies from a show her younger cousins had recently gotten into called My Little Pony, but anthro-ed up with clothes on similar to the medieval ages. What got her blood boiling was another set of human like beings that reminded her of the Diamond Dogs from the same show but more human-like in clothing similar to a bandit’s was doing.

They were killing any man or rather stallion that fought them while capturing the children/foals and woman or mares; some of them even had their clothes ripped in were being ‘prepared’ in the worse sense.

“Don’t know what the hell’s going on,” May growled as she saw the scene, “But I already don’t like it.”

And with that she made her decision hoping that the theory running around in her head was right as she raised the Lockseed in her hand up and shouted something she always wanted to say.

“HENSHIN!!!”
BLOOD ORANGE!

1,500+ Years Later

Over a millennium had passed since May appeared in this new world and the girl was now meditating in the middle of a small Japanese garden wearing clothing similar to a Miko/Japanese Priestess. Sitting in the ancient Seiza position with her main sword at her side; the O-Daidaimaru –a crimson version of the original Daidaimaru with the length of a Nodachi or O-Katana- the girl turned goddess tried to calm her soul.

Her body hadn’t changed much over the years except for her hair which changed back to its original color except the streaks of crimson/burnt orange stayed with a streak of white added in-between them now reaching to the middle of her back held back by a white ribbon. She was also a bit more toned than when she first appeared though because of her body’s new muscular system, it actually betrayed her true strength.

At the moment she wasn’t focused on any of that. She was focused on calming her soul from the chaos that began happening around her ‘palace’ that looked more like a mixture of a Japanese temple and a samurai’s home complete with walls and a large gate. The only reason none of the Chaos was affecting her was thanks to the discrete but powerful illusions and barriers she had learned in her journeys before finally settling down about 100-200 years ago that hid her home from all but those who were invited.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

Breathe in.

Breathe out.

All May was focused on was her soul; until something entered her realm of influence or as some of her teachers called it her Seikuken. A second later…

SHING!!!!

The object that had appeared was cut in twain by the O-Daidaimaru as May stood up in an Iaido stance. Then she saw something that confused her greatly dripping off of her blade and splattered on the ground.

“Chocolate Ice Cream…?”

Then a familiar laugh that was once blood curling to her but now nothing more than irritating echoed around her. “Discord…” she softly growled out while standing up; O-Daidaimaru now held in her left hand backhand style after she flicked the melting chocolate off it.

A second later the strange chimera like creature known as a Draconequus appeared through a reverse vortex, his horse like head grinning. “My fellow Avatar of Change!!” Discord cheered as she tried to wrap May in an anaconda like hug; only for the girl to transform into a crimson/burnt orange liquid and flow out of the hug. Discord immediately found himself tangled up as May reformed beside the Chaos God barely keeping a chuckle off her lips.

“We may be Avatars of Change Discord; your powers are based more around pure chaos while mine is evolution,” May corrected as she turned around and began walking to her home.

Discord snapped himself out of his knot and quickly began floating beside his fellow god like being. “Aw~, don’t be like that May-chan,” the chaos god tried to plead, only to find O-Daidaimaru’s tip pointed an inch from his snout.

“Don’t you DARE call me –chan Discord!!!” The goddess sneered with a killing glare before she brought the blade back down slowly looking to the side, “Only one pony gets to call me that… and you’re not her.”

Discord could not help but wince at that as he was once again reminded of that. A past prank of his before he was sealed had backfired in a spectacular manner… and accidentally killed many ponies. One of the victims had been someone very close to May. It was the one time he came close enough to meet death himself if it wasn’t for his immortality working overtime to keep him from being a permanent resident of the afterlife. It also caused the two princesses of the sun and moon to fully notice May and start hunting her thinking that she was in league with Discord or something of the like.

“Sorry…” Discord replied softly as a silence descended around them. That was the only prank he ever really regretted pulling because of the deaths. He loved chaos, he just hated when anyone lost a life due to one of his pranks and tried to make sure it didn’t happen; especially after that one.

“I have to ask; how in Faust’s name did you escape that Low Orbit Rainbow Cannon known as the Elements of Harmony?” Discord enquired, “I know I sensed your power in the statue they brought to the Garden and stood next to me. Though now that I think about it… You seem a lot less potent than last time we ‘met’ but more powerful at the same time.” He then squinted his eyes at the ‘young’ goddess who had a slight smirk on her face.

“Sorry Dissy,” May replied with poise as she walked up onto her home’s patio and sat down on one of the nearby cushions, Seiza style again, “That’s one of my little secrets. One you, yourself can’t pull off due to your nature.”

Discord groaned at that, still floating in the air as he too took the same pose, “Aw Come On!!! Can’t you just give me a little hit???”

Humming May decided to throw her old ‘friend’ a bone. Bringing him close, she whispered into his ear with a smirk on her face. The Draconequus’ eyes widen beyond normal proportions as he heard how May had ‘escaped’ her sealing.

“REALLY~!!! That’s how you did it?!?!?!” the Chaos God cried out bitterly while May did all she could to keep her giggles in her lungs. “And you’re right. I can’t do it, even if I wanted to unless I wanted to become a spirit until I was released unlike you.” With a great sigh Discord said something many never thought he would ever say, “Sometimes it sucks to be a God of Chaos.”

That did it; May could not keep her laughter hidden any longer and let loose. As she rolled on her back, clutching her stomach as cackles filled the air; Discord pouted at being ‘pranked’ in a sense. “At least you have a sense of humor despite being my enemy at times. Unlike Celestia or as you call her… Molestia.” He said as his fellow immortal began to calm down.

May’s giggles nearly started a new at that but kept calm… Barely.

“Well you can’t blame me for calling her that… She literally started to do that when she heard I was from another dimension.” May replied before her emotions did a 180, “At least until we had our ‘Dispute’ then she fully saw me for what I am; thought in the wrong way.”

Once again both gods were silent for a bit before Discord had enough. “Well I’m off to create some more Chaos and Mischief! I wish you would come with me; but I have a feeling that you have something planed…” The chaos god smirked at May who returned it though unlike Discord’s it was much more serious while still being playful.

“Well~, let’s just say that I’ve been hearing a few rumors popping up about a decedent of a certain bug we know that has gotten too big for her shell and need to be taken down a few pegs.” Discord began giggling as May’s grin became shark like, “And since I’m ‘such’ good friends with her ancestor… I figure that I would deflate her ego back to normal and show her she not on the top of the food chain.”

Discord really got laughing with that, until he saw May’s grin turn into a frown, “It also gives me the chance to warn Celestia of something coming that is my opposite in power but extremely malevolent. I thought it was destroyed last time it had appeared… But somehow it had survived and lent it power to someone I helped Celestia and Luna defeat. Even if they are reluctant to admit it then.”

“How strong is this power?” Discord asked crossing his arms in thought. A Chaos God he may be; he was always more of an Avatar of Change like May was then a True Chaos God. Many of the things he did always led to something being recreated or modified into something that that affected the world in some way even years after he was sealed. The displaced Rider took over from Discord after he was sealed; but did it in the shadows like a true Kamen Rider rather than in the light.

“At his weakest I say about as strong as my first two power levels,” May responded as she reached into her robes and pulled out her Blood Orange Lockseed and one of her Man-Made Lockseeds, the E.L.S-01 Lemon Energy Lockseed. “His strongest will force me to go all out. But since he gains power from violence, mayhem, and death; if he found out about those things…”

Discord hummed as he heard that; remembering what he and May had found years before he was sealed. “What me to check and see if they are still sealed and safe from anypony before I go back to my fun?”

“If you don’t mind,” May answered clapping her hands together in a pleading motion after putting her Lockseeds away, “I would check myself; but I need to prepare for ‘my opposite’ to come and I’m still not 100% sure that I am immune to awakening them like you are.”

Thinking about it for a few seconds, Discord slapped his balled right lion’s paw into his left eagle talon “I’ll do it!!! Equas’ had released me from my seal for what I thought was giving the world my unique brand of chaos again… But this might be the true reason I was released. And since Celestia’s protégé is not exactly the brightest common sense wise, I should be able to stick around until Celestia and Luna regain the Elements to seal me again.”

And so with a “toda loo!” he vanished with an explosion of confetti that disappeared the moment it touched something. As Discord went on his merry way, May could not help but blink in shock before groaning with a face palm.

“Discord, Discord, Discord; not only are you underestimating your enemies… Again,” Thoughts of the first time she tangled with Discord entered May’s mind as she continued, “But you also invited Murphy to come play merry havoc on your ‘plans’. Oh well, he may be a bit pissed that he get resealed, but it’ll be for the best since he will actually be in one place this time.”

And with that May stood up and went into another part of her compound to do a bit more training before relaxing and planning for what she knew was coming.

Displaced Rider

Within the castle in Canterlot, Princess Celestia groaned as she slowly felt herself wake up with a huge migraine. ‘What happened?’ she asked herself slowly opening her eyes…

Only for them to snap wide open as she saw herself encased in a sickly green cocoon hanging from the tall ceiling of the wedding hall that was just transparent enough to see what the heck was going on. Celestia – who was the tallest of all her Little Ponies at 6’ 5” and the definition of a motherly goddess who easily doubled as a MILF- was mentally kicking herself for not being as serious as she should have with Chrysalis and tried to escape. Sadly, the Changeling Queen was more than prepared for the sun princess as she was not only trapped within the cocoon; but also tied her hooves, hands, and wings together while somehow suppressing her magic which should have been impossible.

“So you are awaken Celestia,” she heard Chrysalis’ familiar voice before the cocoon opened up and fell hard onto the floor; only her Alicorn nature keeping her from gaining truly gruesome injuries. As she tried to at least sit up she felt a black hoof kick her in the face sending her rolling a bit before she stopped allowing her to see her enemy. Chrysalis was just as tall as Celestia with a black exoskeleton like skin broken up with patches of sickly green both which were complemented by her armor which made her look like a barbarian queen.

Behind her was her niece Princess Mi Amore Cadenza –a tall a curvy Alicorn mare with light pink coat and long violet, rose, and pale gold mane- stuck to the wall behind the thrones via green goo with her fiancé Shining Armor –a handsome unicorn stallion with a pale grey coat and dark blue mane- standing beside her in his formal uniform his normal blue eyes green due to Chrysalis’s spell.

“I see that even the almighty Celestia can been thrown for a loop when something doesn’t go her way.” The queen sneered at the princess who glared as best she could from her position.

“You may have beaten me Chrysalis,” Celestia swore, “But my student and sister will defeat you.

That only brought a titanic laugh not only from Chrysalis herself; but also her soldiers/drones. “Your sister has already been taken care of by my men placing a special potion in her drink before she went to bed. I will last until I administer the antidote after I have place the magic suppressant I have specially crafted just for the two of you and your student on her,” the queen replied stunning Celestia.

But the shocks were not over yet if Chrysalis’ evil smile was any indication. “Speaking of your precious student and her friends…” She snapped her fingers before the door to the wedding hall began opening.

Turning to the door as best she could, Celestia’s eyes widen in shocked horror as she saw what would should have been Equestria’s best hope for defeating the changelings get dragged in. Pinky Pie –a pink furred/mane earth pony that had a slight pudge but is such a way to actually enhanced her beauty-, Rarity –a tall graceful and voluptuous mare with whitish coat and violet coffered mane/tail-, and Fluttershy –a small lithe Pegasus mare with a butter yellow coat and light pink flowing mane- were the first to enter the hall; each of the tied and a slightly bruised but not as much as the next two mare.

Rainbow Dash – a short but athletic Pegasus mare with sky blue coat and long yet wild rainbow mane- and Applejack –an orange earth pony with a blond mane who was the tallest of her friends with amazon like muscles and curves- were the next ones to be literally dragged in more tied up then the first three with a lot of bruises. Thought they still kept fighting despite their predicament. Which quickly led to a drone kicking them each in the stomach to ‘calm them down’.

But the last pony to be dragged in really pushed Celestia’s berserker button if she wasn’t already immobile thanks to Chrysalis’s preparations. She was an average looking unicorn pony –though with a girl-next-door type of feeling normally- with a lavender coat and dark purple mane that had a stripe of violet through it. Unfortunately your really could tell what her normal coat was sense some of it was either covered in blood or darkened to an ugly shade of black thanks to the bruises under the skin. In addition she had a magic suppressor at the base of her horn but also another object completely covering it. She was tied up as tightly as her friends were; but it was totally unnecessary due to the condition she was in.

“TWILIGHT!!!” Celestia shouted with Cadence in shock seeing her precious student -and secretively more- in such a state. She tried to stand up only for another kick from the Changeling Queen to down her again before the ponies that were dragged violently thrown beside her in front of the dual thrones. Twilight roughly woke up from being thrown and wailed in pain.

Celestia could only look at her maimed student in astonishment before quickly turning to her enemy with fire in her eyes. “How dare you Chrysalis…” The princess of the sun hissed in fury, “You better hope I never escape or I will make suffer for what you have done.”

Chrysalis blinked at Celestia a few times before she began to chuckle which quickly turned to malicious laughter which the other drones quickly followed on. “If seeing your ‘precious student’ gets you this mad,” she began as the door opened up again allowing another set of drones to enter, dragging something covered in a white sheet behind them, “Then this should break you entirely.”

And with that she walked over to the object just as it sat down in the middle of the hall and pulled the cover off making Celestia pale when she saw it. It was a statue of an armored being wearing strange armor over their entire body that resembled a Japanese shogun’s armor with a cape hanging on the chest piece going down to their ankles. Around their waist was a strange belt that stood out just above the armor with the large bulky buckle having a small knife on the side like a lever on the right with what looked like a large padlock on the front with another smaller one connected on the right. In the being hands were a pair of strange swords as it held itself in a stance with them; the right one was a long katana like sword with the blade shaped more like a saber than an actually katana. The left blade was slightly shorter than a regular katana but the guard and grip were replaced by a pistol of sorts with a tab where a gun’s hammer would be.

But really brought the point of that the being was not of Equestria, was its face. Instead of the face of a pony or some other species, it was of another being never before seen. Devoid of fur except for its mane which just touched their shoulders. In addition, the being’s face was set in a determined scowl as if it was facing down a monster of great might.

“No…” Celestia spoke softly seeing the ‘statue’ in front of her.

Always the wisecracker, Rainbow Dash forced her was through her pain as she asked, “Are you stupid or something? What’s a statue going to do to Princess Celestia?”

Chrysalis’s maniacal laugh returned once again before she replied with, “This is just as much a statue as Discord is.” The ponies who did not know gasped in shock when they heard that. But what really stunned them was what the Queen said next. “Except instead of imprisoning a great evil, All Celestia and Luna did was imprison a warrior who did nothing except be at the wrong place and the wrong time.”

“What?!?!” the ponies shouted in shock –thought Twilight couldn’t really do it thanks to the beating she was given- before looking at Celestia who could not bear to look at her subjects in the eye.

Another laugh permeated the hall as Chrysalis saw Celestia’s defeated face holding her hand out to one of her drones/soldiers, “This being was a thorn in my ancestor’s side for many years until the ‘Princesses’ foolishly sealed her just because they thought her powers were similar to Discord’s when actually they were not.” Celestia quickly glared up at the Changeling who dared reopen old wounds…

…Only to gasp in shock when she saw one of the drones place a sledgehammer in Chrysalis’ hand. “But now, I finally get to repay her for all the trouble she has caused us.” The Queen continued before taking the hammer in both hands swinging back.

“NOOOO~” Celestia shouted in horror as the hammer was swung and slammed into the statue’s head shattering it to pieces. The ponies watching could only look in horror as Chrysalis went to town on sealed figure laughing all the while the princess of the sun cried, begged, and pleaded for the Queen to stop.

The right arm was crushed.
The left arm crumbled.
The chest broke in two before the drones fell onto them with their shields and hooves.
The right leg was shattered.
All seemed lost as Chrysalis swung her hammer gleefully until…
…she hit the belt…
…and everything stopped when the hammer refused to move an inch.

“What the…” was all one random drone said before a pulse of energy exploded out of the buckle sending the Changeling’s flying. The same pulse of energy disintegrated all of the goop holding Celestia, Cadence, and the ponies while overloading the magic binders allowing all the magic users to throw them off –though Celestia gently took Twilight’s off since she was barely in any shape to do so. At the same time, the spell holding Shining Armor in a trance like state broke making him fall to the ground… or would have if Cadence didn't grab him first.

The rest of the statue was vaporized into dust leaving only the front part of the being’s buckle in-tacked; but the bright crimson and burnt orange shine coming from the items made it impossible to see what they were. A second later, everypony began to hear a whistling sound coming from outside and before they could try to locate it.

CRASH!!!

[Play Sengoku Ransei: Kamen Rider Gaim OST #1 Track 1]

The object suddenly slammed through one of the side walls of the wedding hall and landed to the side of where the ‘sealed being’ once stood kicking up a cloud of smoke.

“What the hay?!?!” Applejack called out as she shielded her eyes from the smoke like everypony else was doing.

Chrysalis growled at her fun being interrupted and quickly stood up pushing the drones trying to help her away. “Who dare’s stop me?!?”

A familiar chuckle caused a cold chill to race up the Queen’s spine while Celestia –who was lifting a blushing Twilight up bridal style- froze in shock. “I thought your ancestor’s memories would have clued you in Chrissy.”

“It… can’t be,” Celestia whispered hoping that her ears were not deceiving her as she turned to the cloud of dust.

As the dust cleared, everyone watching started to see a figure crouching in the dust slowly stand up while lifting up a strange sword. The figure placed the sword on their shoulder; a second later the figure twisted around swinging his sword through the dust scattering it while revealing them.

The being was a tall one, almost as tall as Celestia wearing a navy blue quilted Japanese style under armor with similar colored armor on their forearms, thighs, and feet trimmed in gold with burnt orange Japanese style flames all modernized. Their chest and shoulders were covered with a crimson armor with burnt orange flames reminiscent of a Japanese samurai with the chest having black on the upper portion.

Their head was entirely covered by a navy blue helmet with a crimson half circle for a visor with a silver mouthpiece and a gold curved sword like crest on the forehead that had a diamond shaped ruby in the middle of the guard. On top of the helmet was extra armor colored like the chest/shoulder armor covering the top, sides, and back of the helmet which flared out slightly to resemble a samurai’s helmet complete with a short green stem on top.

Around the waist was a yellow belt with a strange buckle similar to the statue’s but in black with the knife lever –The Cutting Blade- yellow with a silver edge and black handle. The left portion of the buckle had a side view picture of the front of the being’s helmet with a rainbow visor instead of a crimson one with what looked like crimson and burnt orange clouds on the side.

In the being’s hand was an exact copy of the sword the statue held showing that the blade of the saber was modeled after an orange slice with the skin and ‘meat’ crimson colored with burnt orange ‘tissue’ between the meat and the skin while the guard was green with the two hand grip was navy blue with a silver rectangular pommel. Sheathed on left part of the waist was the statue’s second sword in black with a silver edge and a transparent gold center on the blade.

Everypony held their breath as the figure placed his saber back on his shoulder as Chrysalis and Celestia were both about to have heart attacks but for different reasons. For the Changeling Queen; the memories of the past queen granted to her was causing her mind to go into overtime with the disgust of past defeats flowing through her.

Princess Celestia…

She was hyperventilating.

She knew who this being was almost intimately since she was the one who welcomed her with open arms along with Luna only to turn on her when she thought she was a threat to Equestria despite Luna’s misgivings. Sadly this added to the wedge that she had unknowingly been driving in-between her and her sister, turning her into Nightmare Moon later on. It was only after Luna had been sealed that she finally learned the truth and regretted it so much she had taken to secretly punish herself for what she had done while doing all she could to never repeat the mistakes she had made in hope of atoning for her sins.

Now was the moment of truth and possibly her reckoning.

Finally the being spoke as she turned towards Chrysalis and said one sentence in a feminine voice revealing it true gender despite the armor it wore.

“Koko kara wa… ore no sutēji da.”

And with that, she began walking forward towards the Changelings who stepped back briefly before charging forward. Weapons and war cries echoed as they charged the being who kept on walking forward. The first Drone to reach the warrior quickly lifted his huge axe up to cleave the warrior in two, only for her to nimbly duck to the side and slash at his midsection. To everyone’s surprise, the toy like blade easily went through the Drone’s armor and midsection just milliseconds before it turned into green goo.

Another Changeling Drone tried the same thing with a great sword, only for the blade to be battered to the side then cut in twain from head to feet. Spinning around, the warrior kicked a pole axe wielding drone to the side crushing its chest before cutting through the blade of one trying to sneak up behind her along with the blades wielder.

Deciding to change things up, the warrior switched weapons head from right to left cutting another changeling from waist to shoulder in the process before reaching for gun blade sheathed on her left, twisting around to cut down two Changeling’s in the process. She then grabbed the yellow tab and briefly pulled it, causing six lights to shine on the blade before pointing at a charging drone and shooting him between the eyes.

And with that she began to go to town the drones, slashing, kicking, and periodically shooting at them; pulling the gun blade’s ‘hammer’ after every six shots or so. With each slash, either a blade was cut or a Drone turned to good; with each kick, staves were broken, chests were crushed, and skulls shattered; and with each shot, a Changeling’s head gained a new air hole.

After a while, the warrior briefly hopped back as she reached behind her and pulled out a strange silver lock with a black arm and the image of an Orange on the front. With a flick of her thumb the pressed the button on the lock’s side back making it call out and an orange light glowed behind the metal orange.

ORANGE!

She then placed the lock onto the side of the gun blade where an indent was with a silver ring above it as she landed. The lock’s orange glowed once more as it snapped into place before the warrior locked the arm in place causing the lights on the blade to shine as it spoke to everyone’s shock.

LOCK ON!
ICHI! JU! HYAKU!

As the gun blade counted up to a hundred, the warrior reached for the knife on his belt and put it over the lock on the buckle, ‘cutting’ the fruit on it.

SOYA! BLOOD ORANGE SQUASH!

With that, the blood orange saber in the warrior’s right hand began to glow in the middle as well before she crossed her blade in front of her legs, slowing bringing them up over her head as a small group of drones charged at her.

“Niten Ichi-ryu:,” the warrior softly spoke as she brought her weapons out to her sides looking at the floor before jerking her head up to glare at her enemy. Then with a shout of, “MIDAREGIRI!!!” slashed at the charging group before with her gun blade releasing an orange energy wave before repeating with her blood orange saber which fired off a crimson energy wave before slashing with both blades each one releasing their respective energy waves as the gun blade spoke once more.

ORANGE CHARGE!

The drones screamed as they were disintegrated by the crimson and orange blades of energy except for Chrysalis and the drones behind her as she quickly pulled up a barrier which broke the second the dual colored energy touched it. One drone tried to take advantage of the warrior’s brief pause with a bolt of energy; only for her to pull the trigger on her gun blade as she released another orange blade of energy cutting the drone in two as the gun blade spoke.

ORANGE POWER!

“Wow…” Rainbow Dash whispered softly as her friends, princesses and future prince stared at the kneeling warrior in shock.

Taking the initiative, Applejack asked the question burning in everypony’s mind except for a rare few, “who are you?”

The warrior smirked behind her helmet, bringing her first blade up to her chest as she said, “Watashi wa…” She then stood up adding on, “Kamen Rider…” then twisted around to the startled ponies bending her knees a bit as she placed her gun blade on her right shoulder while holding her blood orange saber to the side as if to guard against something as she said her name.

“… Bujin Gaim!”

Author's Note

Eyup, I did it...
I jumped on the Displaced Bandwagon...

You can't blame me though, this meme is such fertile ground that I had to place at least one seed in it. Though there may be a couple more if I can get them off the ground.

Besides the Displaced multiverse only has one story with Kamen Riders actually taking center stage and not a side story or power.

I would love to do the same for the other Japanese Live Action series such as Ultraman, Metal Heroes, and Super Sentai... But Kamen Rider is where I got my start watching Tokusatsu.

As for translations, I will be using one created by MythrilMoth that she uses for her stories such as 友達は魔法少女　～ＦＲＩＥＮＤＳＨＩＰ　ＩＳ　ＭＡＧＩＣＡＬ　ＧＩＲＬＳ～. And yes I have her permission to use it

The only words I will be translating are the ones not found in the glossary such as these two phrases.

“Koko kara wa… ore no sutēji da.” : "This is... My stage Now."
"Watashi wa... Kamen Rider... Bujin Gaim!" : "I am... Kamen Rider... Bujin Gaim!"
BTW... Bujin actually means War God

Also for those who wondered why I went for the 'evil' version of Kamen Rider Gaim from the "Kamen Rider × Kamen Rider Gaim & Wizard: The Fateful Sengoku Movie Battle" but with burnt orange flames instead of black...

No reason other then Bujin Gaim looks a heck of a lot cooler then the normal orange Gaim.

Plus May is a bit more worldly then Kouta Kazuraba was during the series and seen quite a bit more then her sempai had before he took up the Kamen Rider Mantle.

Also for those of you who are wondering when I'm going to update my other stories... when I can finally put the right words for them. I have the next two chapters of Wizard of Hope ready along with Eternal Warrior of Harmony... I just can't seem to put them down properly in words.

Edit 1: I added in a few links to pictures of what the items look like except for the purified Blood Orange Lockseed. Until I can find a way to draw one up that doesn't look like '' I will send it your way.

*blinks a few times*

What the heck... DISCORD!!!!
