Chapters #1: Openings of Two Sides
(???'s POV)
Thousand Years... Thousand years since I was forced to do nothing, while I am just a stone statue. I am alone with no friends nearby. And It's all no thanks to the White Dragon Princess, just after I failed to overthrow the Castle with Discord's help. What a big shame. I am shamed to do nothing for thousand years, and I want action.
"Hurry up Class, we have another Exhibition to see." I noticed a calm yet authoritized voice of a female girl. I can see the purple dragon with small whelps, her students. I can see them by sensing, a power I have even if I'm petrified. "This statue is a menacing one. He is the Villainous Jin the DragonSlayer, the Precursor of Weaponry and Darkness."
"Darkness? He looks like a Knight," Said the orange Dragon, and right she is.
"You may think so, but looks will deceive." Said the purple Dragoness, "Jin hails from a different world like ours. He once lead an army of Ponies, Griffons, and Diamond Dogs to attempt eradication of our race, and Queen Celestia could not stand for it." She is correct, but only because I never trust Dragons and I think they all must die. They are the spawns of Satan after all. "It was a tragedy but Celestia and Luna united the forces and the Elements to end the reign and prisoned Jin for good."
There I hear compliments and comments. From the Three Dragons who must be called the Crusaders, and the other two known as Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Looks like Spoon and Tiara's on my side.
"Come on, Class. We got more Exibitions to go." The teacher said, and I sighed in my mind. Yet again, what a shame to have no aciton. But that will all change. I can feel myself breaking free. I fell down to the grassy ground, and look. I'm in a hedge.
"Well Well."
I turn to the Chimeric Pony. Discord. The God of Chaos.
"Discord." I spoke, "So you're alive as well."
"Yes Indeed. We have lots to catch up." He said, "And no. I don't have location of your friends." He reads my mind, and I sighed.
"Pity. Then I'll have to search for them." I got up and pick up my legs.
"Hey! Wait!" Discord galloped up to block me. "You need a weapon first. Your sword's broken. Don't forget that."
"My Sword?" I unsheathed to find it was broken in half. "Damn you Celestia. You're a Pest." I drop it. "Which way to the Armory?"
"Straight this way." Discord pointed east, and I looked. A castle that looks arabic or medievalish arabic. "Don't worry about me. I'll cause chaos. It will buy you some time." And before I can protest, he blinks away. I smiled, to tell that this will be hell I am bringing. Dragon Celestia & Luna will be sent to hell this time. Revenge will be mine.
First, I make my way there. Sprinting through the hedge maze then to the inners of the Arabic-style castle. Using my dark magic spells, I hypnotized, tranquilized, and even kill that were in my way of my progress. My Dark spells which penetrates Magical Resistance of those pathetic dragons.
Soon Celestia. You'll be next.
(Derek's POV, 2 Seasons later)
I've awakened in my Comfy Bed. A Bed which is too much comfy. I realized... I'm not in my own place. I'm in some kind of a guest room. Removing my blankets, I have my blue gloves, blue boots, and blue chest-armor. Also... I feel my head and found my helmet. Conclusion: I'm still Mega Man. But then I flashbacked to something that happened...
The hooded merchant who's cosplaying as a Dragon. This was suppose to be simple... Simple as to go to the Con while cosplaying. I am Cosplaying as my favorite blue protagonist from that Mega Man Anime, Mega Man NT Warriors. I was a fan of Mega Man, and I've decide to cosplay that Digital Blue Bomber. The Merchant brought me here I see, and my decision on arrival is to fight that Red Freaky Centaur who is terrorizing Dragons. I tried my big effort and failed, all because I am not powerful enough. But those six Dragons who are powered by the Rainbow magic defeated it.
WIth a little test-drive, my right arm becomes a Mega Buster. Then my right arm shape-shifts into different weapons such as the Cannon, Cyber Sword, and even to my hand where I conjure different weapons to be thrown. Now for my surroundings. The room looks blue and crystally. And this guest room looks bigger than anything regular. The Crystal blue door opens, and I kept my ground until the Butter-Yellow Dragon comes in, with her Pink mane and her blue eyes. Followed by a Purple Dragon, one of the leading group. What's different however, is the Lavender Purple Dragon has no wings, but makes up with her unicorn's horn on her forehead. Fluttershy do have wings, but it's much larger.
"A Real live human? Just like the one from the Statue?" said the Lavender,
"You know this Creature?"
"Yes. It was suppose to be extinct for many years." She said as she walked up to me, "This one is so young."
"Twilight. Is our guest awake?" The voice is loud like a Dragon, but so majestic. Coming in with a Majestic voice shows a Clear White Dragon with a flowing rainbowish mane. She wears only the Golden Crown and her Golden Chestplate. Wings and Unicorn's horn, and her size is much bigger compared to that Dragon Draco from Dragonheart. That Big Dragoness who came through the big doorway.
"Wow..." I Let out my first word, followed by "Dragons..." and then the gasps from the Purple Dragon.
"It spoke Dragonia?"
The White one come up and takes a look at me.
"He is not the one from the legends." She said, "But how he's obtained a power is a mystery." and begins exchanging words to me next, "Do you remember what happened before you came here?"
No choice but to comply truthfully, I said "Well, buying something from the Hooded Dragon Merchant." which made her in shock,
"You mean one of our Subjects had a spell to reach earth?"
"It's a forbidden one." She said, "What is your name?"
"Derek." I introduced, "What about yours?"
"Well... I am Queen Celestia... Leader of my Dragons." She began, extending her wings, "This is my faithful student Princess Twilight Sparkle. And her friend, Fluttershy."
"But... I need to know why he decided to fight Tirek when I told him it's too dangerous." Twilight asked, staring at him.
"Maybe I was bold or brave." I answered, "I never back down from the Challenge."
"But he's too strong!" Twilight shouted, trying to make me listen, "He could've obliterated you if-"
"Like I said, I never back down." I repeated, making Twilight groan, glaring at me with her eyes of scolding.
"That is enough Twilight." Celestia said, "He has proven himself to help us. Just like our old Mega Man. He is the next Mega Man to help us." But both looks Confused.
"Mega Man?" And that means they've never heard of the old superhero. I should explain them what is Mega Man.
"First. Let's head to the new Rooms." Celestia said, "You look starving, so I will make sure your strength is kept where it is. Time for breakfast."
(Derek's POV/Flashback Mode On)
A Quick flashback. I remember the first battle with my Cosplaying Powers. I landed in the almost-destroyed Ponyville as MegaMan.EXE, I see a fighting going on and I've decide to interfere and be the hero. I make some runnings, before reaching the battle. A Lavenderish Dragon who's Dragon Princess Twilight, and the Red Centaur.
What's in my way are the live obstacles. Or Random Monsters I would call them. They're preparing to attack but I found the power to shapeshift my arm into any weapon I desire. The cannon picked them off, and each one defeated dissolved into cybernetic energy pixels. Just like in the Battle Network game. I don't know how they got here, but who cares. A dream come true, as I beat up random baddies. I reached to the point where the battle is going on.
There's Twilight, the Dragon that Queen Celestia introduced to me, the Red Centaur, and Five Dragons plus a Chimeric Pony trapped in a Bubble.
"I offer my magic in exchange for my friends." Said Twilight, and the five says no, but it was too late. Lord Tirek pops the bubbles of five. One is left to be freed. "All of my friends."
"Are you sure? He did betrayed you once." He said,
"Release him!" Twilight ordered, but something different happened instead of a Simple order.
"No. In fact, I'll get rid of him so he won't bother you." A gasp is heard from the Six Dragons.
"No! Don't you Dare, Tirek!" Twilight shouted, but the Red Centaur Tirek she called ignored and proceeds to use his execution magic. Thats where I come in. I ran and jump, my right arm sizzling with cybernetic blue pixel energies, shapeshifting into a long Cybernetic Sword. I swung it down to up, slashing the bubble open. I landed, and the Chimeric Pony is freed.
"OH DISCORD!" A Butter Yellowish Dragon swooped for a Hug on the Pony with Yellow-Red Eyes. Discord.... The Opposite of Harmony. But on to the Important part, stopping the Red Giant Centaur Tirek.
"You dare Challenge me, Warrior?" He pointed,
"Oh yes I dare." I smirked, Then the battle begins. Me dodging most of his energy attacks while the Six Dragons left to get something to beat it. Twilight warned me first that it's too powerful, but I ignored and kept fighting. Close to the ledge, I had my Hi-Cannon ready to headshot Tirek, but I was saved by the Bubbly Barrier. It was the Rainbow Power that gave them increased power. My Hi-Cannon becomes a Heart-Shaped Mega Cannon, and I Fired. It drains away the Magic Tirek stoled before, sending him to Tartarus and freeing the Queens.
The thing is. I was not in control when that Rainbow Magic came to me. I left my conscious and let magic use my body to beat up Tirek. Seems I've won.
(Flashback Mode Off)
Awakening and Meeting. It is morning, and after meeting the Queen, I was brought to the Main Hall. There's the mane Dragons who once wore the Elements of Harmony. Rainbow Dash who's Loyalty and loves to fly, Applejack who's honesty and works at the Sweet Apples Acre, Rarity who's generous and works at the Carasol Boutique, and Pinkie Pie the Laughter at Sugar Cube Corner. Twilight's Magic who's Bookworm, and Fluttershy the Kindness and Animal Care-Taker. There's the small purple green dragon, Spike, who's Twilight's little brother. This Rainbow Dash Dragon, is looking me down.
"Who is that weak human?" Rainbow asked,
"Be Nice, Rainbow." Twilight said, "He's our new Guest. His name is Derek. He's our Mega Man." I nodded, "But now with the Introductions done, Let's go through this one more--."
"Again? It's been done like a million times, Twilight! We found all six keys, defeated Tirek, and got this sweet castle lair! End of story!"
"What a sweet new Castle." I said, "Is this going to be your new Hoard of Gold as well?" I was earned stares.
"How'd you know?" Rainbow ask, "Must be a Spy."
"No I'm not." I said, "I know because I read them back at my world. In fact, Dragons are my top favorite races."
"An Otherworld fan already?" Rarity said, "We're popular already." and almost fainted,
"Well to your Question Yes." Twilight said, "Besides me being a Librarian before, My job is seeking out valuables. But not gold. I harvest Gemstones from the Barbaric ponies."
"And another thing. Shouldn't you get Gold instead?" Rainbow said. I can say something like this. Like Teacher, Like Student. "Come on! We should steal gold soon."
"Not yet, Rainbow." Celestia said, "They are heavily guarded, and I would like it if we can get Gemstones to Invest for Research." turning her head to me, "Before I return back, I must enhance your basic mega form." Her mouth opens, channeling a ball of magic, "You are the next Mega Man, but the next challenges ahead is too strong for your current style." before shining a magic beam through me. I feel some goldness shifting from the Non-Dark Blue Chestarmor, Boots, Gloves, and Helmet. "You are now powered by Dragon Magic, enough to counter the forces of Darkness, and even Pony Magic" They all look in awe.
"Aww Booo." Rainbow jeered in jealousy but whacked by Applejack,
"Be nice, Rainbow."
Rarity however, looking at me in awe, coming close with her look of lust.
"Um... Rarity? You're looking Crazy." I said,
"Princess! Queen!" The voice that isn't one of ours, but a visitor. A White dragon average height, wearing golden armor. "The Dragonslayers are here!"
(Third Person)
Innocent Dragons flying away and locking their Fire-Proof Cottages. A human in steel armor suit walks through the Streets. His long sword is sheathed, and his steel shield is present on his left arm. He snorts, and mutters in a foreign language.
"Baka. Just stay and atone." He said, "Yet they won't listen. Hard way it is." he crouches and readies his sprinting position, before a voice stopped him.
"That's far enough!" Said a Majestic but hostile voice. An Armored Human turns around, and finds a White Dragon, six Colorful Dragons, and a Human beside him. The tall White Dragon he recognized is Queen Celestia, and she was in shock of the returning him. "Jin! So you've returned."
"Jin?" Then Derek's thought spiked.
That's a Cosplayer it seems. His face is Japanese however. This is gonna be tough. I heard that few Japanese can be tough Samurais or Martial Artists
"Yes." He said, "I have Returned. You should know, all Dragons must be slained for a true Good ending." but turns to the human who's with the Dragon, "You will corrupt or kill no Humans after this." just before he charges in, The White Dragon breathed beam of fire, stopping him.
"You will not Harm my Subjects!" Celestia shouted with her Royal Voice turned on, with the last word blasting more fire breath. Jin swung his sword to backwards and raised his steel shield, covering himself from the heating fire.
"NOW!" A Cyan Dragon swoops for a Fatal Blow, but Jin raised his leg and give a boot to the neck, knocking him back. "You monster!"
"The only monsters around are you Dragons." Jin countered without raising a voice, before he charges. The Orange Land Dragon leaped and gives a headbutt, but Jin jumped over. That was countered with a Human in blue-yellow armor delivers a flying drop kick, knocking the Knight back away. He lands and so does Jin on the ground. Jin gets up and looks. "Why do you protect the Dragons? They are evil."
"Says a Knight who thinks Humans are the Good Guys and no one else." He countered, before arming his right arm into a Mega Buster. Jin just looked at it.
"This is the Fantasy World. No Guns allowed, Baka." Jin pointed out, "Put it away and show me your sword."
"No thanks." He said, before firing yellow magic bolts, as Jin started deflecting multiple with his Shield Raised. Jin then jumps for a Kill, but his left arm forms into a Giant Knuckle, giving an Uppercut and knocking Jin away.
"I said, show me your Sword, Demon." Jin repeated,
"The name is Derek. And I'm a Mega Man EXE." He introduced, before charging at Jin with his Giant Armored Knuckles. His right arm shapeshifts into the same as the left. Jin sees his arms shapeshifting with weird blue energy that is magic. Derek starts pummeling the shield of Jin he raised, pushing him back and back and back. Jin jumps back and fired dark energy, temporary disabling his Giant Knuckles, reverting his arms back to normal.
"Okay. You asked for it." Derek shapeshifts his right arm into a Cybernetic Energy Sword.
"That's not a true sword." Jin said,
"For your information Jin, all the Swords I conjure are made of Cybernetic Energy." Derek pointed out, before rushing and swinging his sword, preparing for rapid cuts. But Jin used his Dark Magic to warp away, reappearing on the Cottage's Rooftop. Derek missed his first swing.
"Hey! Don't run away!" Said the Cyan Dragon,
"I'm not running away." Jin said, "I have better things to do than face someone who has no true sword." making Derek growl in anger,
"Who cares if I have no True Sword?" Derek said, jumping to swing at the evil Knight, before he blinks away, but after leaving an echoing message.
"I will only face you again once you obtained a True Sword." Jin echoed, "Any Swords you conjure will never count as true, Warrior" Derek sighed and revert his arms. "And Celestia. Know my words well. I will gather a Party to lay waste and bring justice."
"What a Jerk." He said, shaking his head.
"But he's gone." Rainbow said, "So we won't have to deal with him again."
"Incorrect." Celestia said, "Jin is a powerful enemy, and he will bring us to doom if he's not dealt with quickly. But..." turning her attention to Derek, "Thank you for repelling him, but now I must send you and the Elements on a Journey. We must Contain Jin back into Stone before he arms anydrake."
"You can count on us, Celestia." Princess Twilight bowed, as the Elements of Harmony.
(Derek's POV)
It has been days since Jin showed himself. I've been practicing my powers and the Swordsmanship so I can beat this Jin. My new location is the Training Grounds in the Twilight's Castle. Such amazing magic conjures virtual polygrams. Twilight has yet to locate Jin using the magi-tech map. Until then, training.
"This is Derek, Jin?"
I fell my face in shock and readied my Cyber Sword. A Dark purple shadowy blink forming and blowing up, not taking the castle. It reveals the one I fought, Jin, and looks like he got some friends. They are all armored in steel to mask their identity.
"I see they're your friends." I said, pointing my sword.
"Comrades." Jin said, "I see you still haven't got the True Sword yet." which made me angry.
"Why would I even need them?" I said, "I can conjure anything I want." and I demonstrate, from Cyber Sword, to Long Sword, to Wide Sword, then to different types of Sword.
"DEREK LOOK OUT!" A Purple Magic beam is shot out from the door opened by a slam, but Jin raised his sword.
"Girly Dragons?" The girl said, aiming her Elvish bow and arrow, at Twilight's five new friends. "Can I shoot them?"
"Not yet." Jin answered, "I thought I would like to make Introductions."
"No Introductions!" Rainbow said, swooping to the seven. "I will eliminate!"
"No Rainbow!" Twilight managed to pulled her back with her magic, "They are too strong on your own."
"Okay Jin. What are their names?" I asked, and from left to right one by one steps forward and shows his weapon and special ability.
"Allow me. As you know, we are also cosplayers." He said, "I am Hako. I cosplay the Warrior of Faxanadu." showing his long broad sword, glowing in spiritual magic. "Cybernetics will do no good against my Elite Close-Combat Sklls." next up wields a staff, only this girl has a Robe instead of an Armor.
"Mina is my name. I'm a Sorcerian Sorceress." She showed off black & white magic, "Elven Sorceress is what I cosplay. And thanks to the Hooded Merchant Man, I can use magic to cripple my foes." next up is young, but has a Sword & Shield.
"You better watch your back, or I'll cut you down!" He threatened, swinging his sword madly, "I'm Shubo! I cosplay Roas Drassle from Dragon Slayer IV! I'll throw my Sword Like a Boomerang before you cowards can run away!" he then grows a smirk, "You won't last a second against a super speeder!" which he demonstrates, angering Rainbow Dragon!
"Let me go Twilight! I wanna teach that punk a lesson!"
"Not yet."
Anyways, skipping Jin to the Elven Bow Wielder. "You may call me Yuma. Sharp-Eye BowWoman. I cosplayed as a D&D Arcade Elf. And I'm a Deadly Sniper for the Japanese Military Forces." She draws her arrow, but retracts. "Why use magic when I can shoot much fast." The muscular one comes forward next. He has a Mustache
"I'm Gorai." He introduced, Raising his Big axe. "The Barbarian from Dragon Slayer IV. I forgot what his name, but his Strength throws mighty. And I like it. I'll smash down that pitiful Castle, if it wasn't too Crystally." He rubbed his bruised fist, only Rainbow Laughs.
"Hayadon is my name." He unsheathed his Katana, "Son of the Legendary Swordsman." and I scoffed, "Don't think you can joke away like that. I'm the legendary. I cosplay the first knight of Dragon Slayer One. WIth the Formidable Knight's Sword, I will cut down who gets in my way."
"And lastly." The Middle comes up, "Jin. Leader of the Dragon Slayer Group. I cosplay also the Protagonist, from the Main Xanadu."
"Wait. So those seven are cosplaying as the Characters from the Dragon Slayer Series?" Pinkie asked, breaking the forth wall and we stared at her. Pinkie being Pinkie it seems.
"Dragon Slayer Series... They're the source of evil?" Twilight asked,
"No. The Dragons are Evil, End of Discussion." Gorai said,
"They are to be treated cruel." Shubo swinged his sword, and pointed at the Dragons. "No exceptions."
"We would take you all out." Jin said, "But our priority is the Evil Queen."
"You will not harm my Teacher." Said Twilight, as she fired a beam of fire, but Mina puts up a square-shaped magic barrier, blocking it. "What Magic."
"Our magic's off limits to all Dragons." Mina said,
"Come Boys & Girls." Jin commanded, "We got bigger fish to fry. And Derek," I kept my stare, "I suggest getting a True Sword before facing any of us." then they all blink away. Twilight then commanded us back to the Throne Room, where the Map Table's Located. I saw the magic being worked to make the Map Appear. I know the lectures how Cutie Mark on the Dragon's flanks works. It represents their Talents. Celestia needs to return to Canterlot to allow Twilight few days for preparations. But first is finding him.
"There!" She pointed, where the Six Cutie Marks are pointing. A City that looks similar to Metropolis. "This must be where Jin and his Friends are heading. Wyrtropolis"
"The world of Power Dragons?" Rainbow said,
"Oh! This must be one of the Enchanted Comics Spike reads all the time." Pinkie asked,
"Power Dragons? Is it a group of Superheros?" I asked,
"Yeah huh! We become Superheroes to Fight Crime." Pinkies words got me interested.
"Wow. Just like Justice League."
"But... How do we get there? We need even the--"
"I actually got things Covered." Said Twilight, and she led us to the all of Magic Mirror. There was a large collection. We stop by to the mirror we were suppose to go. From what Twilight told me during my training sessions, these Magic Mirrors leads to another dimension. "So our job is to repel Jin and his Group out of Maretropolis. It won't be easy, but as long as we have faith in friendship, we'll beat those Monsters."
"Alright. Time to fire up."
With a beam of magic from her Unicorn's horn, the Magical Mirror powers up, and the Six Dragons one by one flies into the Mirror, then Spike, before me the last. I get to see their Ego's of being a Power Dragon.
