Return and Arrival

Author's Note

Sorry about this everyone but I looked back and realized I didn't exactly have a good plot going for this and while I was flattered I inspired a story I decided to redo ganbarizing and combine it with a fan comic of the same name with the author's permission. So expect this to be going through rewrites and the actual story to go longer. No going straight to fights here.

Return and Arrival

It was a slightly calm day for a young teen male of 15 with purple hair and blue eyes wearing a black jacket over a black shirt and black jeans. His black combat boots tapped the floor as he checked his watch.

"Where is he? he said he had the prop ready for the skit today" grumbled the teen a expression of irritation on his face. This teen was yume. A kamen rider fan and slight tokusatsu in general.

He felt something hit his leg and looked down to see a card that looked like it had circuit lines all over. It was mainly dark blue with the lines being black. There was also a rubber band across holding more cards together which would explain why he felt it. Picking it up he realized it was some kind of deck. Looking around yume didn't see anyone that seemed to have lost something so now he was wondering where the deck came from.

He heard a voice call out to him and turned subconsciously placing the deck in his pocket as he did so.

It was his friend he was waiting on. That dark blue hair was not hard to spot.

"Soul your late!" Yume said very cross as checking his watch they missed the time for their skit and thus it was canceled.

"Sorry Yume but someone stole the prop as I was making my way over. They threw it into the trash after I searched five blocks. It then took me a while to get my sense of direction back to make it here. It's just the buckle though they took the belt it was attached to" said soul panting as he ran up.

Soul besides having blue hair had orange eyes and was dressed in a red coat over a black shirt and blue jeans. On his shoulder was his ever present pet kitten swift sky due to the coloration making the small feline resemble the sky. Blue and white.

For as long as the two knew the kitten it never grew and seemed to stay young. Yume saw the kitten with soul since the two were 3 years old and the kitten by now was 13 years old and had never changed. It was a mystery the two never was able to solve. There was a running theory that the kitten was somehow immortal by everyone that saw the cat.

Didn't stop it from become the shool mascot which allowed soul to bring it to school with him. The principal had said it was to cute not to make the mascot. But even she was baffled by the kitten's eternal state.

The prop soul mentioned was a carefully crafted replica of the Ganbaride driver from the ganbarizing game. Soul handed it over to yume with a wince as his friend gave him a glare.

"Not much use now because we missed our slot now we can't compete in the skit event in there" yume informed him pointing at the building behind him.

With that yume placed the prop into his jacket and started to walk off.

"Do me a favor and don't bother me for a bit I'm going to go vent" yume said his tone showing both his disappointment and anger which left soul standing there feeling like he let his friend down.

《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》

Meanwhile in another world entirely a purple dragon with green spines sat looking over the sky while a lavender winged and horned pony with a dual colored mane and tail approached.

"It's been a long time since we last met Spike, you have grown so much" said the alicorn as her race was called.

"100 years is a long time, but you havent changed a bit, still as beautiful as always" said Spike with a small chuckle.

"Can't say the same for Ponyvile. Everything has changed so much since you left. How has the life of a stray dragon been treating you anyway" asked Twilight as they looked over the hill to watch the sunset.

"It's ... tiring. Sometimes I really wish I could just settle in one place and call it home" said Spike a claw under his chin as he closed his eyes.

"Really? then why not come back to Ponyvile?" Asked Twilight.

"It's dangerous for my duaghter to live in pony society" huffed Spike moving to sit on his hind legs as he crossed his arms and looked to the side.

"Duaghter? Your child with Rarity right?" Asked Twilight looking at her former assistant.

"Yes the powerful dragon - unicorn hybrid" confirmed Spike.

"Then you should stop being a stray now" said Twilight with a serious look on her face hoof raised to point at the now shocked dragon.

"B-but" sputtered Spike.

"Your duaghter deserves better then a life on the run like some petty criminal Spike! She should have a home to stay. School to study. Friends to play with! Vagrant life isn't good for her!" Scolded Twilight.

"Still I'm afraid nopony will accept her and Celestia might even try to imprison her on the moon, as she might be a threat" said Spike a serious look on his face.

"Everypony would accept her just as they accepted a baby dragon. And you can be sure I would protect her from other dangers" said Twilight starting to tear up. She then started to sob on this next sentence. "Please spike. Come back to Ponyvile. It's been so lonely living in the Crystal Castle. Please.. if not for me. Do it for your duaghter.. or for Rarity.. her duaghter deserves better then this"

"Ugh okay, okay! I'll ask her if she wants to stay jeez" groaned Spike as he can't stand the sight of his old caretaker crying.

"You mean it? That's great! Welcome back to Ponyvile my number 1 assistant" cheered Twilight. "Where is your duaghter anyway?"

"She must be at Rarity's grave by now I guess" Spike replied.

It was then the hill was revealed to over look a graveyard full of Graves for what must be ten miles long. The screen lowered to a grave where a greenish white unicorn can be seen with her mane style being like a mix of spikes and curls. Perched on her nose was a pair or red framed glasses. In her mouth was a bouquet of flowers. She laid them at the grave that read Rarity belle.

Her green eyes looked up and turned her head to look back at a voice. She spotted a black unicorn with a wavy purple mane with two white streaks in it. "It feels strange seeing my own grave like this" mused the unicorn which we now know is Rarity.

"Mom how can you have a grave if your still alive?" Asked the younger unicorn.

"Oh make no mistake I did die once before" corrected Rarity.

"Then how did you come back from the dead?" Asked her daughter.

"Well.. if you wish to know we need a flashback to the past. The very day I died" started Rarity her mind going back in time to that day.

(100 years ago 70 years after season 4 of mlp friendship is magic)

A old mare that once was a white unicorn with a purple curled mane looked around confused being in a dark void.

"W-where am i?" she asked. "Am I really dead? Is this where souls go after death?" She shivered.

"Indeed you are dead" a voice similar to her own said spooking her as she turned around to face the source as her once transformed state Nightmare Rarity. "But no. This is neither hevean nor hell. It's just part of my little world inside your soul" informed her darker self.

"Nightmare! But we defeated you!" Said rarity shocked.

"Defeated me? No no no darling. You never 'defeated me'. you've merely regained control over your body. I've been always a part of your soul. I have seen every event from your life. Everything you did with that handsome dragon" informed nightmare Rarity making her light side blush in shock and embarassment. "Everything"

"Stop blabbering and just tell me what you want with a dead pony like me" said Rarity still blushing.

"I just want to give you my nightmare power so you can live again" her darker half replied.

"You WHAT!" Asked Rarity shocked at what she just heard.

"Under one condition" stated her nightmare self.

(Present time)

"And that was how your mother was revived" said Rarity.

"Wait. What was that condition nightmare made" asked her duaghter.

"Im sorry darling but that's a secret between me and her" said Rarity.

"Hmpf! That's no fun!" Said the dragon unicorn hybrid moving off on a huff.

"Oh! Life's not always fun darling" Rarity informed before continuing quietly to herself. "Yeah life is not fun.. my little nightmare"

(The past)

"Your first duaghter I want to become her" said nightmare Rarity shocking her original self.

"What but how" said Rarity wide eyed.

"It's not hard just mate with your dragon while in heat" said nightmare in a slight purr.

"That's not what I meant!" Retorted Rarity still wide eyed but her blush returned.

"You know. Seeing how happy your life was. How you shared it with your lover and friends. Made me a bit jealous. I.. I wish I could live like that too" she explained why she wanted to be like that but still wasn't a bit clear to rarity until her nightmare self got emotional.

"Please. Give birth to me! I want to have my own body, my own life, my own destiny that I don't have to steal from another pony!" She sobbed.

"Please stop your crying" Rarity said brushing her hoof over night mare's face to dry the tears. "It'll be alright. It's not like your sins can't be forgiven. Yes I will be your mother my little nightmare" said Rarity.

"M-mom" said nightmare.

"Happy re-birthday my first daughter" said Rarity as she started to return to her body. Already she can feel her body becoming alive and becoming younger and changing to her old nightmare state. But then she realized she must have already been buried as she found herself in a coffin!

(Above ground)

Twilight sighed and looked at Spike who layer before the headstone crying.

"Spike it's really cold out here. You should head home. Even if you stay here forever. It won't change the fact Rarity is gone" said Twilight.

"B-but.. I cant.. it hurts to much" said Spike when he felt something and much to his & Twilight's shock the grave was forced open from the inside sending the coffin lid and himself flying with a bang.

"Oh. Air! My sweet, sweet air! Please Never leave me again! I nearly died a second time because of you!" said Rarity panting in her future self's look.

"H - how dare you use my friends body like that nightmare ra-" said Twilight glaring at the pony before her only to be cut off as the nightmare pony sprang towards Spike.

"Spikey-wikey!" She called as she then nuzzle the dragon.

"R - rarity is that really you!" Asked Spike blushing.

"The one and only" she replied shocking Twilight.

"But.. how?! How have you become a nightmare pony?!" Asked Twilight confused.

"Nightmare gave me her power so that I could be brought back to life. In exchange, she asked me to give birth to her so that she can have her own body" explained Rarity.

"That's really dangerous you know!" Said Twilight shocked.

"Yes. It IS dangerous. That's why I must leave Ponyvile" said Rarity. "Will you come with me?" She asked Spike.

"With you? Anywhere. Rarity" said Spike with a soft smile.

"Do you really have to do this?" Asked Twilight.

"It's the best I can do. For me, my daughter, for Everypony. Twilight" said Rarity.

"Should I tell Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Sweetie belle your alive" asked Twilight.

"Please let them think I'm dead. I don't wish to upset them further" said Rarity. "Good bye. Twilight. I hope we'll meet you again someday" said Rarity.

(Earth: Yume's home)

Yume sighed after he finished his martial arts routine. He started it up when he became interested in kamen rider and kept it up still as a way to vent out his emotions. On the desk in his room was the prop he asked soul to make for him and the deck of strange cards he picked up now laid out arround each other. To his surprise only two other cards resembled the first only in emerald and silver and black and red color scheme wise. Three cards look to be equipment such as a sword, some kind of hover bike and a wing pack. The last three cards were edged in gold and held a symbol that was made out of circuitry lines making it look like a X And some kind of face.

Yume was curious about these cards and was also giving the prop a suspicious look. After he had calmed down he noted the device didn't feel like plastic or clay and had a considerable weight to it. Picking it up Yume placed it near his waist and jumped a bit when a silver belt materialized with a high tech deck case forming on his right hip.

That clinched it something was definitely up. Picking up the cards Yume slid them into the deck case causing a hum sound for each card. Sliding his hand over his face he sat on his bed.

"I must have the worst luck today. Someone has had actually constructed a show accurate driver. Who ever built it must have realized that if it got into the wrong hands it was not going to be a nice sight. They must have stolen the prop to use as a decoy and hid the real thing to keep it safe. And these cards that I found it can't be coincidence I found them. I have a feeling my life is going to be strange from today onwards" said Yume with a sigh looking over the driver. "Now that I think about it this thing has slight differences from the ganbarizing game version. It looks like it has a card tray behind the screen that can pop up" he noted.

Pulling out the dark blue circuit card he pressed the middle button on the driver making the tray pop out as he thought. Placing it in Yume too a deep breath feeling curious if this will work.

"Henshin" he said then pressed the card tray back into the driver.

Cyber! Sync up!

Was heard before space around him warped and with a startled yelp Yume vanished.

(Equestria present)

"Live in Ponyvile?!?!" Asked Rarity wide eyed. "But it's to dangerous" she protested.

"By my title as princess of friendship I promise, I'll protect you from all harm. Your under my protection now" said Twilight.

"Let's make this place home again. Rarity you could open a store and become a fashion designer again!" Said Spike.

"Home? That means I can have my own room, right? Wow I vote yes!" Said Sparity excited.
"Well if you both really want it.. alright we'll try settling down here" said Rarity.

"It's to dark to do anything right now. Though You should spend the night in my castle. We can talk about your house and store later" said twilight seeing the moon had risen.

"We're going to sleep in the Princess' castle? Wow! This is so awesome!" Said Sparity.

"Did you know I used to work there" smirked Spike as they started walking.

"Really? Wow dad your great!" Said Sparity.

"She really doesn't remember a thing about being Nightmare?" Asked Twilight in a whisper.

"Not a thing which is good. I don't want a daughter with the mind of a old mare" said Rarity in the same volume as Twilight.

The group stopped though when they stumbled onto a prone figure on the ground out cold. Spike and Twilight recognized it as a human. But it wasn't just any human. It was Yume. The two shared a uneasy look and we're worried.

"Rarity help me carry him inside" said Twilight turning to her friend.

"Welcome to my castle make yourself at home" said twilight as they got to the castle and Spike quickly took Sparity to a guest room before moving to the other one to look over the young human that was in their world.

"Twilight what is going on! I thought humans became ponies when they enter equestria" asked Spike a serious look on his face.

"That's just it Spike he didn't come through the mirror portal. Nor any of the rifts that have been opening lately. It's like he just appeared out of no where! I'm afraid his presence means the barriers between world's is getting even more weak that he just slipped right in without the magic effecting him" said Twilight.

"That is worrisome" said Spike.

"But thing is I just checked our barrier. After he slipped through it returned to its previous state before he slipped through. I don't like this Spike" said Twilight.

"Darling we can work this out later let's just give this boy some rest and time to recover" said Rarity.

"Okay but after I give a tour of how much Ponyvile changed" said Twilight.

(End chapter)

Early morning shenanigans

Rarity watched the sunrise with a smile on her face and sighed. For all her fuss last night she was glad to be home.

"Good morning Rarity. Why are you up so early?" Greeted Twilight going onto the balcony with her friend.

"It's a habit. While In the wild we had to be alert at all times" explained Rarity.

"But your husband and daughter are still asleep" said Twilight with a sweatdrop.

"My husband? Oh I exhausted him last night. And my duaghter went to bed far to late because of all those books you gave her" explained Rarity and gave Twilight a light glare.

"I swear she's as much a bookworm as you are! Must be the genetics of her dragon half. I was still surprised Spike does have your dna from the magic that hatched him. I was surprised when Celestia told me that 30 years before my death and rebirth" she added making Twilight blush as she recalled that day. She was just as caught flat footed as Rarity and it explained why she risked her life in the dragon migration all those years ago. It was her maternal instinct kicking in.

"How do you think I feel! I've been unknowingly a mother since I was eight years old! Do you know how odd it is that I'm your mother in law and I'm younger then you? I still can't get over how our family is like to others. Our family reunion is going to be hectic. I still don't know how cadence gave shining immortality like hers so they are going to go frantic over meeting your duaghter" Twilight grouzed wanting to forget the results of that day.

"Oh and Rarity? I'm going to grab some breakfast want to join me?" She asked.

"Twilight your a princess don't you have servants for that" asked Rarity deadpan.
"Nope I like doing everything myself. Just like I always do" replied Twilight.

"If I remember correctly dear Spike was the one who did most of the cooking" said Rarity giving her friend a look.

"Who do you think fed him when he was a hatchling? I learned to cook from the canterlot chefs in those days and Spike when he was old enough joined in and found cooking was a passion for him" smirked Twilight as she gave Rarity a side glance. By Rarity's blush she had to agree.

"Wow Ponyvile has changed so much" said Rarity as the two walked through town.

"Time changes everything Rarity" said Twilight.

"What's first on the list, Twilight?" Asked Rarity.

"Some dessert to go with the morning coffee" replied Twilight.

"Speaking of dessert is Sugercube Corner still open" asked Rarity unaware the two were being watched by a white pegasus with a poof orange mane and violet eyes.

The pegasus pulled out a bazooka and fired with the round exploding into what seemed to be .... party supplies? The explosion startled Rarity that she froze up in shock.

"That wasn't funny Pinkie" shouted Rarity more out of habit then anything else.

"Sorry but I'm not great-grand grandma Pinkie Pie. I'm Super Surprise. The great and powerful party planner of Ponyvile!" Said the pegasus with a smile.

"S - she looks familiar is she?" Asked Rarity.

"Yep she's Pinkie's decedent" confirmed Twilight before looking to Rarity abit sheepish. "Erm. Rarity could you be a dear and bring half the day's sky back pretty please" she then asked and Rarity then noticed that half the sky looked like night.

"Im so sorry Twilight. I guess I got startled and lost control over my powers because of the surprise" said Rarity horn lighting up.

"It's okay Rarity. If Celestia asks I'll blame Discord" reassured Twilight.

"Wow! you can control the moon too? Still your moon control is so off!" Said Super Surprise before in a move that reminded twilight of when pinkie used her as a rapid fire blaster the pegasus then said. "Here let me help you. I'm really good at aiming"

Once the sky was fixed Surprise let Rarity down and she felt her neck.

"Now that looks much better" said Surprise."and here are your Coffee - time muffins! Hope your husband and duaghter enjoy them too!" She then pulled out grappling hook gun and shot it up and was started to be lifted off the ground.

"Have a nice day princess. Aunty Rarity! Say hi to Spike and Sparity plus Yume for me!" Said Surprise before she was out of sight.

"Have I ever told her about me and my family?" asked Rarity.

"Nope. You never have" replied Twilight.

"Then how did she-" Rarity started.

"It's a surprise?" Twilight offered.

"Yeah a surprise.. why did she use a hook if she had wings?" asked Rarity.

"It's our Suprise" shrugged Twilight.

"So you named your duaghter Sparity?" Asked Twilight.

"Have I never told you her name" asked Rarity looking to Twilight.

"No you havent" said Twilight eyes closed. "I guess Spike was the one who came up with the name. Wasn't it? He seems like the one to come up with silly names" she added.

"Y-yeah, I promised to let him choose the name of our duaghter as I already gave her a gender and soul" said Rarity.

"Dig a hole!" Twilight suddenly shouted doing just that to avoid being crashed into by a pale whitish blue blur to Rarity's shock before the blur pulled a u-turn and crashed into her. Twilight then had a thought. "Wait who is Yume?"

(Crystal castle)

Yume groaned as he came to and pushed himself up and blinked to clear his vision. To his shock he found himself in what seemed to be a room made out of crystal even the bed frame and furniture looked to me made of the stuff. He still wore the driver on him so he was lucky it hadn't gotten lost but now he was wondering where he was.

"What in the world? where am i?" he asked looking around.

Getting out of the bed he located what looked like a fruit basket. Taking a apple he saw it wasn't a wax apple but a real one. That meant he was in a place that was near a farm. Judging from how the room looked he was in a castle.

Exiting the room the teen eventually found the kitchen only to be startled by a voice that seemed to be coming from the castle itself.

"Ingredients are in the cabinet to the left and on the second shelf"

"Whoa! I did not expect that. So who are you and can you explain where I am" said Yume trying to slow his heart down from the scare and moving to get ingredients for a light breakfast.

"Sorry for the scare my name is owly short for Owlowiscious. You can say I'm a bound spirit. As for where you are your in equestria a seperate world from your earth. My owner when I used to be just a owl and her extended family found you and brought you here to rest. Currently Princess Twilight and her in law are in town doing some errands as well as giving a tour to said in law. It has been 100 years since Rarity has been to town with her husband" explained the apparent spirit who is part of the castle.

"Let me guess the dimensional barriers are weakening and beings from other worlds are finding themselves in my situation. Great this is really reminding me of decade's situation back home" Yume said as anyone who was a fan of kamen rider would find the parallel to that particular kamen rider as he was the only one that besides diend was actively hopping worlds.

"You must explain who this decade is at another time" said owly sounding curious.

"Right anyway my name is Yume Hidaki" said Yume with a smile as he got ready to cook pancakes.

(Back with Twilight and Rarity)

"How many times have I told you not to fly in town at such speed!" Scolded Twilight to a cyan pegasus mare with blue hair with yellow highlights. The front of her bangs was a deep red. What was odd was that her tail was actually a claw like limb and actually is a functioning hand. She wore a green bandana around her neck and a pair of goggles on her forehead. Her eyes were a interesting mix of mainly being amber with the outermost edge being a ring of pink.

Nearby Rarity was curled up in pain.

"Well she should have dodged!" Said the pegasus who reminded the nightmare pony of rainbow dash a lot in looks and personality. She slowly pulled herself up and had a eye closed do to the pain.

"It's okay Twilight she didn't do that much damage to me. But if I may ask who is she?" Asked Rarity.

"Oh you must be new here that's why you didn't dodge! Well let me introduce myself I'm Areial Ace! Best stunt flyer in Ponyvile kingdom!"Said the pegasus.

She handed over a bottle.

"Here take this potion" said Ace.

"Is that a healing potion" asked Rarity surprised.

"Yeah bought it from a zebra alchemist. Pretty effective and is pretty good" confirmed Ace.

"And you always carry one? You must care for your safety after all" said Rarity.

"Nope its for all the ponies I crash into" said Ace shocking Rarity.

"Err. Darling how many ponies have you crashed into" asked Rarity.

"Eh I lost count" said Ace before getting ready to take off.

"Tsubame Gaeshi!" Called Ace zooming off.

"Everypony dig a hole!" A voice shouted from around the corner Making Rarity sweatdrop.

"She's just like her ancestor. Rainbow dash must be proud" said Rarity.

"Oh she's not rainbow dash's decendent" said Twilight.

"Eeeeehhhhh!" Said Rarity shocked.

"She's spitfire's, soarin's, daring do's and ahuizotl's decendent" said Twilight repairing the road.

"But I thought she was! She is so much like dash that it was uncanny! Besides I thought you would remember that dash is related to spitfire! The family resemblance was easy to miss due to the colors! Or was that daring do that dash is related to? both looked so much alike it was eiree" said Rarity confused.

"It's actually that I think Ace is Rainbow's reincarnation. I find it ironic that her past life idolized both her current life's grandmothers that her soul was reborn into the family that quick" said Twilight with a sigh that said how much she noticed how much like rainbow dash Ace was like.

"Wait then where is dash's decendents?" Asked Rarity.

"Rarity you were here when dash died" reminded Twilight.

"Fillyfooler?" Asked Rarity.

"Yes" said Twilight.

"Ok" nodded Rarity.

"Okay let's just go buy some apples" said Twilight wanting to get off the subject.

"Is sweet apple acres still in business?" Asked Rarity.

"Yep! The apple family will always be there no matter what!" Said Twilight leading her friend to a apple stall. "And here we are the apple stand"

"Let's see what we got today" said Twilight.

"W-welcome to our little apple stand P-princess, W-what will it be today" said the grey mare with purple hair and wore a familiar setson.

"Since when has sweet apple acres sold other kinds of apples?" Asked Rarity noting the signs for the produce had familiar names. If Yume had been there he would have said the only name that was normal was the granny smith apples.

"Around 20 years ago the new owner started planting different apple trees and started Naming them after her ancestors" said Twilight.

"Um Twilight weren't the apple family named after apples in the first place" asked Rarity giving Twilight a glance.

"Yeah but you know how some apple family traditions can become crazy" said Twilight and as a honorary apple herself that was saying something.

"I'll have five of each apple you have today" said Twilight to the mare running the stall.

As the mare who reminded Rarity of fluttershy in personality placed the 15 apples into a bag and said she hope they like them.

"Is she scared of me" asked Rarity.

"Maybe. But not because your a nightmare. She's always nervious meeting new ponies" said Twilight.

"Hey Eden! I would like to introduce you to a old friend of mine. This is Rarity a really good friend of mine. Actually she was your great-great-great grandma's friend too" said Twilight introducing the shy pony to the seamstress.

"Hello" said Rarity.

"Oh my! Your not dead? How rude of me sorry I've reacted like that. I'm Apple Eden. Nice to meet you" said Eden.

"Um what does she mean by 'not-dead'" asked Rarity.

"She can sometimes sees things normal ponies never should" explained Twilight.

As they left Rarity couldn't help but note to Twilight. "She actually seems to be a earth pony version of fluttershy"

"Don't underestimate her. While she may seem as shy and weak as fluttershy" started Twilight as a new customer was about to pay but dropped her bit.

"She's as strong as big macentosh!" Finished Twilight as Eden lifted the whole stall without problem to let her customer retrieve her coin much to Rarity's shock.

"Actually I think she's stronger then him! Even he would have trouble lifting a whole stall with the ease Eden is showing!" Said Rarity wide eyed.

"This is really strange" noted Rarity.

"What's strange" asked Twilight.

"Im a nightmare pony yet nopony seems to be scared of me walking among them" said Rarity.

"That's because it's the kingdom of Ponyvile. Meeting other species is normal these days! Everybody's learning about friendship these days" Twilight started to lecture making Rarity sigh as once Twilight starts she keeps going.

"Forgiveness, giving chances, Ponyvile is kind of a role model town and as princess of friendship it's my duty to spread it's magic over equestria" Twilight said thankfully keeping the lecture short.

A few minutes later they came across the rebuilt golden oaks library.

"We're done for now let's head back to the castle" said Twilight.

"That list of yours was longer then I thought! I'm so hungry I could eat the whole apple orchid" said Rarity.

They looked at the library.

"Golden oaks. I remember when we helped rebuild it" said Rarity recalling the memory fondly.

"Yeah even though I now have my castle the town still needed a library" agreed Twilight as fond of the memory as her.

"Last time I was here Spike was the librarian as you were to busy with your duty as princess" recalled Rarity. "I wonder who the new librarian is" she added thoughtfully.

"Oh that would be my son but it looks like he is not in today I wanted to introduce you" said Twilight. "Like you said about Sparity with her love of books my son is the same" said Twilight with a sweatdrop before Rarity started grilling her on her son.

(Back at the castle with Spike)

"Empty again.. where are they" asked spike.

"Who?" said a voice.

"Twilight and Rarity" said Spike.

"Who?" Said the voice again.

"What do you mean 'who?' Twilight and Rarity you kn- oh really funny owly" said Spike getting irritated before realizing who was messing with him.

"Sorry Spike old habits die hard" said owly amusement clear in his voice.

"Nah its okay seems your still here to help Twilight" said Spike.

"Im her number one assistant now Spike hope your not jealous" laughed owly.

Another voice joined in on the laughter.

"By the way you two act I'm guessing that happened a lot in the past. Still didn't expect that one of the people who found me was a dragon" said Yume leaning on a wall a cake made of gems in hand having been given it by owly who knew Spike must be hungry.

"Oh your the human we found right? good to see you're up. Usually humans who enter our world become ponies to fit in so your a bit of a odd one out here" said Spike taking the cake.

"Again I'm being reminded of decade a multiversal traveler. Each world he went to he was given a kind of role to fit in each one" said Yume shaking his head at the similarities he found. "Anyway I'm Yume Hidaki and you must be Spike" he introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you" said Spike with a grin before he started to eat his cake.

"Same so care to explain how your wife is still alive or is immortality a thing with this world" asked yume giving Spike a raised eyebrow.

"It's a long story" said Spike knowing owly must have said something for yume to ask that.

"And yes immortality is a thing here. My owner and the one who lives in this castle is one and so is her mentor and aunt in laws Celestia and her sister luna plus her sister in law cadence. And her husband and Twilight's older brother apparently. The family is quite a odd bunch that way" said owly making Spike snicker.

"Kind of true I mean I'm the only full dragon in the family, my duaghter is only half and my wife died once and only was revived by a event from our past. Add in two royals who move the sun and moon and the local love goddess and you definitely have a odd family. As for shining no one but his wife and himself knows how he became immortal it's a mystery to everyone" said Spike.

"Huh just like my friend's pet cat. Back home there is a kitten my friend has had since we were 3 years old and 13 years past and it still is the same it never grew, never seemed to be full grown it just stayed as a kitten. Everyone is baffled by how it is like that" said Yume blinking.

"No way! Your not joking are you?" Asked Spike wide eyed.

"Nope dead serious here that cat seems to be Litterally trapped in time" Yume said knowing what Spike feels.

Yume was about to ask Spike about the history of the world he was in when he felt a pounding headache them started to have a vision of a orange mare being attacked by what yume recognized as shocker combat men.

"Gah! Great seems I wasn't the only thing dragged here!" Yume cursed as he shook his head and turned west.

"Owly can you create a tunnel facing the fields near town? Someone is being attacked and I'm going to head out to stop the attackers" yume asked and before his eyes a tunnel formed before him. Taking out his card he took a deep breath and popped the card try out.

"Henshin!" Said the teen sliding the card in and with his other wrist pushed the tray back in.

Cyber! Sync up rider!

With that electricity formed around Yume before becoming circuit lines before the air around him wavered as shards seemed to form out of thin air and converged on yume becoming sleek cybernetic armor that consisted of a dark blue coloration with the circuit lines becoming white all over. His helmet resembled double's own but like the rest of the armor was mainly blue with white circuitry on it. The red lenses flashed as the transformation finished.

Pulling out the card with the bike the now kamen rider scanned it in his driver.

Digitize! Machine vector!

A hover bike modeled after Yume's transformed state appeared much in the same way his armor did and the rider got on and revved the motor be for it started to hover then shoot forward heading to where Yume felt the disturbance was at.

Spike could only watch with his jaw dropped.

"That was interesting and at least we know Yume is a good guy now. Anyone willing to help someone else is okay in my book" said Spike.

Serene and Cyber

Aj Jr cursed as she defeated the last of the combat men only for a large beast to appear and now she was forced to turn her friend ace into a sword that she gripped with her revealed hands. Wearing gauntlets the earth pony/human hybrid was exhausted and just as her harmony level was high enough to purify the beast.
it was then yume arrived and landed next to her.

"You okay! I sensed a lot of pain when I was rushing here when I sensed you were in trouble" yume asked dragging her back.

"She's got a broken arm! She's been fighting all day" said Ace from her sword form.

"Huh didn't think you were a meister miss I think" said Yume looking at the earth pony. Turning to the beast yume noticed the bar above its head and what looked like a gauge filled up.

"That there beast is adaptive and regens that Guage shows that it's ready to be purified by harmony energy but as exhausted as I am I can't finish the job and ace doesn't really have much energy to fight as well" said Aj Jr seeing where yume was looking.

"Then good thing my driver can mimic energy then" said Yume as his driver scanned Aj Jr's necklace and looked to the beast and on instinct pulled out a gold edged card and opened the tray on his belt before placing the card in and closing the tray.

cyber! Final harmonize! Was heard as yume got into a stance as his right leg glowed with a prismatic aura.

"Hah!" With a yell yume got very high above the beast before entering a drop kick which collided and turned the beast into a small wyvern creature. Landing yume barely dodged a strike from a very familiar being that he knew.

The large yellow A on the chest was a very confirming detail on who yume was now fighting. Kamen rider Glaive.

"Junichi! Kamen rider glaive! How are you here in this world! Blade destroyed you when you became Jashin14!" Yume said shocked as this rider shouldn't exist anymore.

"Heh don't think that just because Kensaki defeated me that he killed me I really have to thank shocker for saving me. Now hand over that beast behind you along side the ponies. They will make perfect Lutenants for shocker" scoffed glaive resting his rouzer on his shoulder.

"No chance in hell undead! I may be new to this world but as a rider myself I won't let you taint this world with your darkness! From here on out I'm going to break all limits!" Yume said moving to block the wyvern and two ponies off from glaive.

a card ejected from his deck and was slotted into his driver by itself surprising yume.

cyber arment! Data saber!

with that a blade appeared in pixels in Yume's hand resembling the Glaive rouzer in shape but more streamlined.

"I'll protect these three and any others from shocker with all I got and face evil to the best of my ability! Here we go" said Yume entering a swords stance as the young wyvern opened a red eye and looked at the armored figure standing before it protecting it from the dark being the figure was facing.

The two riders clashed the sounds of metal clashing ringing as the two riders were evenly matched mainly because yume trained himself to be able to mimic the fighting styles of various riders and possibly counter them to make up for his lack of experience. Dodging when he could and blocking if he couldn't both riders were evenly matched which yume being a rider for the first time was quite the accomplishment.

But unfortunately yume doesn't have as much stamina after ten full minutes of this battle. The main difference was he was tiring and glaive wasn't.

jumping back yume frowned wondering what he was going to do when a memory from the ganbarizing game came back to him. Of burst mode.

Raising his head yume gripped the screen face place of his helmet and pulled it off before tossing it into the air where it flipped around and slid right back into his helmet making data flare from his armor as a change underwent on his back. To glaive a familiar pair of wings had formed on this new rider's back as the sword flipped part of it around and created a energy blade.

"This is the end!" Said the new rider pulling out the second gold card and placed it on his driver.

Burst! cyber! Final harmonize! Was heard as yume got ready in a stance making the wings flare as he started to hover.

"Rider..." started yume starting to speed forward at glaive. "Cyber slash!" Finished yume as he slashed and skidded to a halt behind glaive and the burst mode shut down.

glaive stumbled as massive sparks rained off his form and he started to collapse before exploding. Flying out of the explosion was the Glaive buckle, rouzer and the rouzer cards owned by glaive which became a set of cards that yume caught. he saw that one card showed a image of glaive, another of his weapon, and three of his attacks. Turning he frowned seeing Junichi was disintegrating into dust.

"I see while you were saved by shocker they only prolonged the breakdown of your body after kamen rider blade defeated you. Now despite what immortality you had the damage was too much for your body to handle. As a result your mortal and are finally going to hell for all your sins where you belong in the first place. Glaive you only have yourself to blame for this. You may deserve what your getting but even you deserve to have a second chance. Let's hope your next life sees if you can be redeemed or history will repeat. Farewell former joker undead" yume said as the dust fully formed.

Yume sighed as he slumped onto the ground and shook his head. "That was both unnerving and the most difficult thing I ever had to do. And I'm afraid there will be other encounters like that" he said before dismissing his weapon and pushed himself up and approached the wyvern.

"You okay? You been through a lot haven't you" said Yume helping the small dragon up noting ace was helping Aj Jr steady herself.

"What in Tarantion did we just witness?" Asked aj.

"The reason I ended up in this universe in the first place. To defend it from beings like glaive. For a clone of a immortal being able to end the world even in such a weakened state he was still strong enough to be trouble. The fact it was my first time as a rider and fight on a equal level is something of a accomplishment. And I don't like what we just learned about why glaive was here at all. Guy should have all ready been killed years ago but if the terrorist organization shocker is involved and interested in this world then the situation must be very dire. Let's get patched up and tell Twilight about this info. Like it or not this world has been dragged into a interdimensional war." Yume said giving the wyvern a piggy back ride as he started leading them back to ponyville.

"But who are you anyway never seen a fellow like you before" asked ace.

"In this armor I'm known as kamen rider cyber. After who I just faced I think the title is earned. I wasn't kidding that glaive was able to end the world. If he was at full strength even I would be hard pressed against him. Unlike me he never tired until I remembered a function of this armor giving me a temporary boost." Yume said as the group was heading back to the castle.

yume was leaning on a wall listening as prince Dawn lectured Aj Jr for fighting alone and not having help and had thanked yume for getting there when I could even if ace barely had helped.

"It was no trouble Prince Dawn just doing my job as a Kamen rider. So any idea why the dimensional boundary is failing? No offence but enemies from my universe are here in your world and might be the reason behind it. They had the ability to travel worlds before and nearly destroyed the multiverse when ten worlds collapsed into each other erasing existence between them. It was narrowly avoided" yume said then asked.

"Well no actual idea but now that you brought this info to my attention, I now do have quite a idea on why so many beings are ending up in this world. It's a cascade effect. The event may have been resolved but the effects of it have greatly weakened the barrier between worlds. Where they were once Rigid and solid they are now fluid and flexible." Said Dawn looking up from the broken arm of aj Jr to look at me.

"Anyway Your radius and ulna are cracked I'll just put them in a splint to heal on their own. This might be a good thing as it will teach you not to go looking for so much trouble" said dawn grabbing some bandages.

only for aj Jr to grab him and say something about not letting him kiss her for nothing to use a "save point" thing making yume trip in shock.

"Hold up! Can someone please explain this to me! What does kissing have to do with healing?" Yume asked dispelling his armor by removing the cards from the driver and the armor vanish in a blur of pixels to show yume's confused expression as he picked himself up.

aj Jr blinked startled from her anger and blushed realizing what she said could mean to someone not knowing of how a certain thing worked here.

"Before you ask we are not dating he just had to kiss me to get some card that had data he can use to help heal me because of my more unique biology. Pretty effective for using his machine to heal someone" said Aj jr.

yume blinked before asking to see her card and after looking at it facepalmed.

"How in the multiverse did you learn to perform a pactio! Incomplete as it is as this is only half way done! If this was done properly anyone you did this with would have gained a card of you prince dawn. These things can also create unique artifacts for the person they belong to. In her case a weapon to fight with. This magic is very old and I'm glad that for guys that just had to shake hands or whatever their equivalent limb. For the sake of my sanity I'm going to make sure you learn how to properly do this later. So any reason miss warrior here can use a skill from yet another universe where some people can weird other people with the ability to become weapons? Because that branch of abilities involve synching two souls together to fight demons of madness and witchs" yume said confused looking at both of them.

"Wait my system already existed? And mine is only half finished!" Dawn said hugely shocked.

"And that explains why you called me a Meister. Didn't think there was a whole universe with that kind of ability." Said Aj jr blinking.

after that yume learned about how much the resources for the machine was and that was supposed to be needed in emergencies. And that aj Jr was trying to get stronger so she could go looking for who killed her farther.

"Well now I'm getting a familiar vibe here. I heard of a girl in that situation before. That girl was called ryuko matoi. Her world had some insane stuff involving clothes and parasite threads. She ended fighting her unknown to her older sister with out realizing it and those two ended up fighting their mother because she was trying to destroy the world because of those threads. Ryuko ended up avenging her dad's death alright but she nearly destroyed herself In the process. I'm warning you now don't follow her footsteps you will regret it." Yume noted feeling revenge was not the answer here.

"Here your guantlets are fixed and recharged." Said Dawn handing them to little aj.

"Thanks but could you at least make them more powerful? These don't do as much damage and I want to be able to defeat monsters on my own" asked Little Aj.

"I'm afraid that's impossible harmony damage depends on the users hidden magic power. You have less HMP then others So it's only normal you do less damage to monsters. Still... do you know why I gave you those guantlets?" Asked dawn as little aj was packing them in her bag.

"Because I'm the only pony with hands?" Little aj said.

"No I gave them to you because your incomplete" said dawn surprising yume as he had a feeling one of his questions about little aj was about to be answered.

"Incomplete! What do you mean!?" Demanded little aj just as shocked.

"Its because your father wasn't equestrian. A part of you is a creature from equestria filled with magic. But the other part isnt. Your father wasn't magical so half of you is blank. At the same time you can fill that empty space with your friend's magic and turn the rest into a weapon. That temporarily makes you stronger then any other pony. You have the power of friendship in you. I gave you those guantlets LJ to Show you that power will make you stronger." Said Dawn giving her a look.

"So that's why she can be a Meister she's literally giving her friends the ability of Weapons. And I have the feeling I know what your dad was miss. After all he and I are of the same race. Your half human. That means what your magic lacks you make up with in sheer adaptability. Humans are well known for our ability to adapt to nearly any situation." Yume said blinking.

"Hey are you even listening!" Barked Dawn noticing little aj was leaving.

"I got no time for your lectures doc. No matter what I got to be strong on my own just like only my vengeance is my own." She said leaving and I face palmed.

"Well if that scarf of hers didn't clue me in that entire attitude did. She is exactly like ryuko matoi stubborn to a fault, one track mind and never listens to anyone when she clearly needs help." Yume muttered to dawn who had done the same thing wondering if he should have ace keep a eye on her at all times.

"So what should we do with our little visitor here" asked Dawn looking to the wyvern.

"I'll look after her for one if shocker is targeting her then I got to watch out for them and keep her safe from them. They have a tendency of making whoever they target into brainwashed soldiers who would eventually die at some point. They are that evil. But I'm curious as to why she shrank when purified like that" Yume said looking at the Wyvern.

"What's wrong alter owlysaid you had a problem" asked Twilight having now entered the lab.

"Oh hi mom, yeah I kinda do" said Alter nodding to his mother.

"Oh so your twilight! Nice to meet you my name is yume. We kinda found something earlier and I'm kinda looking after it because of something I'll tell you about later." Yume said nodded to the purple alicorn.

"We found another creature from another world" explained Alter.

"Oh dear another one! Seems our fourth wall is weaker then I thought! Even weaker then when applejack fell through it 100 years ago and when you arrived last night yume. Still what's the problem we got a portal to send it back home right? Or is it that you don't know where it came from?"

"That's not the problem mom, she came from the planet lv-426. The real problem is that it's not in it's original form. It was changed" said Alter surprising both of us.

"Well now I know why she was being targeted" yume said noticing she was waking up and rubbed her head in concern.

"Changed but isn't that normal for Every creature that passes through the wall To different worlds? just Like when turned human in Canterlot high? Yume so far is the only exception" Asked twilight making me blink.

"So that's why spike knew what I was! You both encountered humans before! Explains why he wasn't shocked about my appearence" yume said snapping his fingers.

"Well yes but we checked it with owly. And the creature should have became a changeling queen instead!" Said Alter pulling up a illustration on the wall of a familiar being yume knew to his shock.

"Holy shoot that's a Xenomorph! One of the more dangerous aliens in the multiverse! Their offspring is parasitic in nature and takes on traits of their host on maturity usually resulting in the death of the host." Yume said wide eyed. That info made Both royals shudder before alter continued.

"Seems it merged with other creatures that fallen into our world at a similar time. Turning them into something totally different. Since its nature was hostile and agressive it went on a rampage when it got here. After it was harmonized yume's armor took away it's instincts and gave it sentience. It's more balanced now and can choose between good and evil" said Alter noting it was now clinging to yume's back and resting it's head on his shoulder.

"She can't be seperated into the beings that composed her now can she. Their effectively dead leaving her as their legacy. And seeing as I already said I'll look after her guess she can stay with me. Especially when I found out why I'm in this world to begin with" yume said before filling in on just who shocker was to the royals and their history with the kamen riders a group of heroes in his world that he joined not to long ago when he faced the evil rider glaive.

"And that's all I know so far. If they are here there is a lot of trouble heading our way. Like it or not this world is now going under war from a terrorist organization that nearly controlled the whole world back home." Yume said grimly.

"Then we can't send her home as we don't know if the timeline will change. So we are left no choice but let her stay. Problem is that even if yume is willing to look after her we don't know what to do with her now" said alter.

after that yume watched as twilight told them that they can teach her and that she would have the job of being alters assistant or sibling and ignored alters question on who spike was to her saying she had to help spike who is Alters uncle/big brother's family settle in leaving us confused.

"I think spike is you big brother but also your uncle. Your family is crazy like that I think? I'm just going with the flow here and adapting to this without thinking to much on it. Otherwise I might have a mental breakdown. So let's try and work things out while we can. I need to find a place to stay myself. I'm a new resident after all." Said Yume feeling exhausted of the day he had. Dawn nodded and started getting the wyvern ready for a medical check up getting her card and both learning the name of the wyvern because of that.

"Serene huh kind of fits her welcome to one crazy family serene" yume said looking at her.

(End chapter)

a new home and a new friend

"hurry, hurry eden!" a cheerful voice said as super surprise was excited for what was about to happen unknowing that yume had joined them with serene on his back. he shared a look with the dragoness wondering what was with the white pegasus with the orange mane and tail.

"Do we really have to hurry this much surprise?" Asked eden showing her strength unknowingly to yume. He and the dragoness were wide eyed at seeing a large amount of crates being pulled in the cart by the Grey farmer.

yume knew horses could carry a lot but the strength of this mare was unreal! He was oddly reminded of Hina from kamen rider ooo.

"Of course we do! The party needs to be set up before the new ponies arrive in their new house! So hurry quickly let's go!" Said surprise and yume shook his head amused. setting up a welcome party for spike and his family? That was nice of her.

"OK OK" said eden with a smile as surprise started moving ahead singing a tune pinkie must have taught her.

Suddenly yume noticed something that made him raise his eyebrow. It was a young filly tugging on eden's mane.

"Er miss can I ask you something?" She asked.

"What do you want to know little one?" Asked eden kindly.

"Where do the dead go?" She asked and yume then noticed the filly was transparent.

"Huh a spirit didn't expect to see one today" yume said walking over and letting the two know he was there.

"Eep!" Eden jumped a bit but caught what yume said.

"You can see her" asked eden surprised.

"Yeah didn't expect to be able to myself. I'm yume and this little dragoness is serene. Nice to meet you" yume said smiling.

"Apple eden. Anyway just go down that road until you reach the haunted tower the receptionist will Tell you what to do" said apple eden as she helped the spirit.

"But mommy said I shouldn't play around that place" said the spirit.

"That's because it's a place for lost soul's only you can go there now" said eden before she took off her hat.

"Angel can you please guide her there" asked eden as a small ghost popped out being just the head of a rabbit as it motioned the filly with a ear to follow it.

"Thank you very much miss!" Said the ghost.

"Good luck In your next life" said eden waving them off.

"She's going to need it. With how young she looked makes me wonder what her story is." Yume said with a concerned frown.

"Hmm?" Asked eden looking at yume curiously.

"One of my interests is the supernatural and mainly ghosts. Now that I know I can see and interact with them it makes me want to listen to their stories and help shoulder the burden so to speak. Let them know they will be remembered in a way" yume said giving a thoughtful look at the tower.

"Talking with ghosts again? I thought you were scared of them" said surprise.

yume jumped as to him she appeared out of nowhere.

"This is just the soul of a lost filly so she's not too scary. Unlike the soul of a brave dragon last time he was in really bad shape. He just didn't know how to change his appearence" said eden and for some reason yume pictured a skeleton of a dragon with a spike sticking out of the forehead as the cause of death.

"Oh I remember you just ran across town crying and screaming like a madmare" said surprise. She ignored eden saying It was really scary you know!

"Oh finally!" Perked up surprise. "We've arrived!" the four were now looking at carousel boutique. And yume had to admit the place looked impressive for a cloths shop.

"Okay tables are all set your turn surprise" said eden as yume helped her set up the tables. To yume's surprise (no pun intended) the pegasus still didn't notice him.

"Ok! Take cover everypony!" Shouted surprise and yume went wide eyed at the harness she wore being a huge bunch of canons. He joined eden in a crate with serene to hide.

"All party canons fire!" She yelled making them fire decorations.

"Oh dear it gets louder every time" said eden poking her head out a bit making yume gawk in surprise.

"It gets louder?!" He asked shocked.

He poked his head out to see the place was now decorated for a party.

"Is everything ready ms eden, Ms surprise?" Asked a filly with a white coat and a pink mane as her green eyes looked around. She balanced a bunch of marshmallows in a bowl on her head. Not even having trouble keeping it still as she moved. Which impressed yume on seeing it.

"Everything's ready, marshmellow. Now we just have to wait for our special guests to arrive" said eden shyly.

"Are those marshmellows can I have one" asked surprise.

"Sorry these are for the elder sister of my great-great grandmother" said marshmellow with a deadpanned expression.

"Wow marshmellow didn't know rarity was that far up your family tree. the proper term for rarity is great-great grandaunt" yume said getting out of the crate and making surprise jump.

"Wah! Where did you come from!" Asked surprise.

"I been with you both since you told eden to hurry up I helped with the set up" deadpanned yume.

surprise blinked and looked sheepish.

"Your very quiet yume! I was wondering when we would meet" said surprise.

Before yume could ask how she knew his name marshmellow spoke up.

"I never believed this to be possible. The Elder sister of my great-great grandmother to still be alive. I always thought they were fairy tales" she said looking at a photograph.

Surprise was at a window with binoculars.

suddenly she turned off the lights meaning the guests were on their way. "What's happening?" Stuttered eden.

"Shh! Here they are!" Hissed surprise.

the door opened and the lights came on as surprise yelled out her name as poppers were pulled and yume snickered at the three identical deadpans that was the response which took a bit of wind out of the pegasus' sail.

"Er... aren't you at least a little bit surprised?" asked surprise.

"I saw you passing by the window and turning off the light" said spike and surprise stumbled back a bit.

"I been expecting it since we met in town" said rarity making surprise do a repeat.

"I can see in the dark" said sparity finally making the pegasus go into a corner depressed.

"My surprise... failed?" Yume heard her mutter making him look at her concerned.

"Yeesh I think her self esteem took a major hit." Yume noted with a wince.

With that done the party was underway. Yume couldn't help but over hear a conversation as he talked with sparity. the unicorn/dragon hybrid was quite curious about the human. she only had stories from her dad about them.

"Are you all right little one? You have been staring at me for quite some time" asked rarity noting marshmellow.

"I-I'm just curious!" The youngest of the family said before showing the picture she was holding. "Are you really this mare?" She asked and curious yume and sparity took a look seeing two white unicorns one with a purple mane and the other with a dual toned mane under the banner said singing contest. The shorter of the two had a medal around her neck.

"Oh I had to change my appearence in exchange for immortality" said rarity looking to the side a bit nervious.

"Really! Wow! that's exactly what my great-great grandmother Told me!" Said marshmellow going bright eyed.

"Great-great grandmother?" Asked rarity going wide eyed as did me and sparity.

"Yes! Great-great grandmother sweetie belle's story of a beautiful princess who fell in love with a dragon! She said you made a convenant with a demon to Be revived and live with your lover forever! She says she saw it with her own eyes" said marshmellow.

I felt my jaw drop.

"Sweetie belle is still alive!" Asked rarity shocked!

"She wanted to surprise you with some food she's preparing in the the kitchen" informed marshmellow pointing the way.

"Mind if I come with rarity I'm now curious on how she is still here now if it's been as long as you said it's been" yume asked the nightmare unicorn and followed her to the kitchen.

"She's been waiting for so long. Waiting... waiting ... she always believed that one day you'd return" said marshmellow and after she said that I followed rarity as she rushed to the kitchen.

"Sweetie belle!" Said rarity as she entered Only to stop in the doorway as yume caught up and stared.

"Aw.. my applejuice got burnt again. Guess I'll never be good at cooking" said the figure looking at a blender. "Hmm" she said as she turned to the door.

"Sweetie belle" said rarity tearing up.

"It's been such a long time" smiled sweetie. Yume couldn't beleive his eyes. "Welcome home sister" said sweetie. Or at least what had to be her.

(End chapter)

Author's Note

Sorry I have been gone so long. Things came up and the house needed to be fixed. Mainly the plumbing. Got to the point I was scared of slipping on water in the bathroom it was that bad. So that ends the crazy future side of the story and this arc next arc is getting into the chaos future part of the story. Hope you lot enjoy!

chapter five the tale of sweetie

Yume yawned as he helped put marshmellow to bed. Rarity pulled the covers over her with her magic. The party was fun yume had to admit and was a good way to relax after fighting glaive earlier. But after all that happened his first day and he was exhausted.

“You have a nice and beautiful great-great granddaughter, sweetie belle” complimented rarity as yume turned to look at the pony that was there.

“Yeah I’m so lucky to have her” said sweetie and yume took the slight pause she gave to examine her. Or more precisely her mechanical body. She looked exactly like the sweetie belle in the photo just as a robot. Only difference was she had black instead of white as a background for her green optics. The mane and tail possibly came from a wig made of her organic self’s own hair.

“Ever since her parents died in a accident I’ve been her sole caretaker. But how can I be a good guardian for her? I’m unable to cook and eat let alone taste Any food. And I’m very slow so I’m unfit for housework. But she did everything by herself. Sometimes I thinks it was me being cared for” the mechanical unicorn finished and told rarity her doubts.

“Well your no longer alone there I’m sure rarity and spike won’t mind helping out. You are family after all. Plus you got twilight and dawn as well. Sparity can also help if you want a break” yume pointed out as rarity nodded in agreement.

“Have more confidence in yourself sister, You have been a good sister to me and a good mother to your foal after all.” Said rarity giving her robotic sibling a smile.

“No Sister I cannot be the same. I can’t return to what I was before, back when I was alive as a living pony” said sweetie sadly. “I cannot eat or taste food, I may see, hear and move but I can’t feel a thing. No cold, no warmth, No pain, This new body has no nerves. And my horn, it’s only decoration. I can’t use my magic anymore. This is the price I had to pay just to extend my life”

“Do you regret this decision to become this?” Asked rarity.

“No I dont” said sweetie. “Because it allowed me To live long enough to see you again sister. I didn’t give up everything For nothing in the end!” The robotic pony gave her elder sibling a hug finishing her sentence with “even if I can’t feel your touch it still makes me extremely happy to hug you sister”

“I might be able to help you on some of that with twilight’s help sweetie. Robotics was a huge thing being developed back home. Twilight might be able to help develop some kind of nervious system to that body and as for the issue of magic maybe install a kind of tech to let you absorb traces of magic in the air and use that for magic. As for the speed of your body we would need to see if the motors had worn down and need replacements.” Yume said making sweetie perk up surprised.

“You would do that! To help me? T- thank you! That is a lot off my shoulders” said sweetie.

“Hey as long as I’m here I’ll try to help as much as I can. Nothing to worry about. Though are you sure I can stay with you guys after you expand the building? I mean I can always stay at the castle with twilight and dawn to help look after serene” yume said as so far only they and little aj know shocker was after the dragoness.

“Of course we are sure it would be no trouble at all. Though you really have to pick up some clothes later. Let’s hope I’m not rusty in my old job.” Assured rarity before she noticed the time.

“Oh! I think I should go now. Twilight is waiting for me to return to her castle” said rarity.

“Oh I’m really sorry rarity. Sorry we don’t have enough room for your family too” said sweetie.

“It’s fine sweetie my boutique just wasn’t built for two dragons, a nightmare pony and a hybrid plus a human all at once After all” said rarity.

“Don’t worry we will be soon done with expanding the boutique for your family. Until good night rarity, yume.” Said sweetie.

“Good night I’ll let twilight know what we talked about before I head to bed” yume nodded as he started down the stairs.

“Good night my dear sweetie belle” said rarity.

As we both head to the castle I thought about the soul I felt in the robotic pony. If my experience earlier with eden was any proof then sweetie belle had made herself a ghost in the machine to reunite with rarity.

We soon met up with twilight.

“Ready to go” asked twilight.

“Hmm where are spike and sparity?” Asked rarity.

“They went on ahead to the castle” said twilight.

“Twilight why did my sister become a robot again?” Asked rarity.

“The correct term is golem actually. Our technology back in the day she was made Wasn’t advanced enough to create Robotics Yet. Her body is simply a doll powered by magic” said twilight looking a bit down at this subject.

“Really? How did that come about” yume asked looking at twilight knowing that now it was important if he was going to help sweetie.

“It began the very day you were reborn and left ponyville with spike at your side rarity. Sweetie belle had watched it all unfold ... But she never told any pony not even me. From that day she kept that secret from everyone. Living with the hope that one day you would return to ponyville. The days turned to weeks, weeks turned to months, and months finally turned to years. She never stopped waiting for you rarity. She waited until she couldn’t afford to wait for you anymore. She knew her time was running out so she started researching powerful soul magic. Where she hoped to transfer her soul into a mechanical doll based on her younger self. And not a pony knew about it except scootaloo who helped her construct the doll. I only found out when I felt her use the soul transference spell. By the time I got there it was too late. Sweetie belle had died that day and born in her place was sweetie bot Er golem.”

“And she ended up failing” said rarity making yume blink as he turned his head to stare at her.

“So you already know? As her sister I figured you felt it too” said twilight.

“Yes I talked to her, touched her And hugged her. She may have acted like my sister but I felt like she was a empty shell. She said she was happy but I felt nothing from her. It was all hollow, complete absence of emotion” said rarity.

“Your right she did fail. She only successfully transfered her memories to the doll. But her soul was not. Now her soul has moved on to the next life. I knew when apple eden got her talent. She mentioned to me she didn’t feel the presence of a soul in her. That golem doesn’t have a soul. It only keeps moving by relying on sweetie belle’s memories. It simulates actions By predicting What she would do and act in any situation. The most tragic thing is it thinks it’s the real sweetie belle. It takes care of your home... Waiting for you to return. It’s the legacy of your sister. A living copy of a dead pony. Soul magic is a hard magic to preform even for a alicorn like me to successfully perform. The soul is such a fragile thing easily Broken and corrupted if your not careful. She is lucky her soul wasn’t destroyed.” Said twilight looking down.

“Your both wrong on her not having a soul” yume said catching their attention as they looked shocked.

“What!” Asked the two.

“I can see spirits like apple eden but I can also tell what type they are as well. Sweetie does have a soul. After all the soul is composed of the memories and experience a person has. Sweetie belle may have transfered her memories but the ones she built and experienced herself since has allowed her to develop one. Just because you can’t feel it doesn’t mean it’s not there. Can you feel your own soul at this moment? No you can’t but you can tell it’s there. Eden can only see and talk with them but she can’t truly connect with them except angel. Doesn’t help she’s scared of ghosts so she has a reason not to connect with them. Sweetie has spent over seventy years experiencing life even in her state and has true affection to marshmellow and rarity as family. She is also sad about what happened to marshmellow’s parents. You can’t feel other people’s emotions unless your a empath. The expressions and look of her optics are genuine. She may not have sweetie belle’s soul but she has one of her own. One that took over seventy years to form and grow. Her body was made by the drive of sweeties love for you rarity. And love as twilight knows from cadence is a type of magic to itself as well. All sweetie belle’s love and hope went in making sweetie bot that it anchored the starting point of a soul to her. Memories make us who we are. Remember that.” Yume explained giving the two a firm look.

“Never thought I would have something to learn after all this time still. That’s very wise yume” said twilight stunned.

“While I am mortal there is quite a few things that can be understood. I just understand things others usually miss. It’s as simple as that.” Yume said.

Suddenly a roar was heard making the three wide eyed and run over and yume felt the vision form showing what he recognized as a Smash a recent rider kaijin before he was dragged into this world. Narrowing his eyes as the three arrived on scene the teen noted it was the rabbit smash a crimson humaniod that while sleek was also strong in the legs.

“A Smash! Did pandora’s box get opened in this world as well? No I would have seen the skywall then. Shoot shocker must have sent it” yume said pulling out his driver.

“You know that thing” asked twilight.

“Long story short that thing used to be a resident of this world corrupted into a monster. The process I heard strips the victim of their memories. The latest rider in my world had escaped the process but still lost his memories. This Smash looks like the first half of his default form. If shocker sent it they have interdimensional tech to access other worlds including my world. All because they opened pandora’s box. I’ll have to be careful here separating the monster from its host is going to be tricky.” Yume explained putting on his driver.

Appearing in mist was another rider that made yume snarl. It looked like a hodgepodge rider with a bat motif and had a horn that looked made out of a pipe.

“Nightrougue” yume muttered glaring at the dark rider.

“Ah if it isnt the newest rider of this world tell me was glaive a nice test or are you prepared to join shocker” said nightrougue.

“Join a group of nazis who revived a terrorist as a starfish monster and trying to take over the universe no thanks any true rider would fight you to prevent just that” he told him pulling out his ic card from the holster.

“Twilight you and rarity evacuate the area I got this” yume told the two stepping a few feet foreward.

Opening the tray he slid the card in.

“Henshin!” Yume called transforming into the base form he had.

“Hmm so you have that model of the armor ill see if you have what it takes ganbarider” said Nightrougue.

“The name is kamen rider cyber! Prepare to be deleted” I told him pulling out the glaive card and summoned the rider.

“Get him” said nightrougue ordering the smash.

“Glaive handle nightrougue” I told my summoned rider as I summoned not only my ganbasaber I also summoned the glaive rouzer. Duel weilding both blades both sides charged into battle.

this is a crossover with the dark brony's equestrian shade.

meeting shade and battle against night rogue

It was a tense standoff between kamen riders cyber and glaive vs night rogue with the rabbit smash. They had been clashing for a while as cyber was fighting night rogue while glaive faced the rabbit smash… needless to say things were not going that well. The rabbit smash had a speed advantage on glaive forcing the echo of the rider on the defensive. And cyber had been not doing that well either as night rogue was unlike glaive not hindered by shoddy medical practices throwing off his skills. And cyber had to admit the dark rider was very more skilled than glaive with both the steam gun and steam blade and it took a few quick evasions or deflecting which was wearing out a already tired yume. Cyber had lost his glaive rouser deflecting a bullet shattering the data construct.

He had to admit but he needed help and prayed for a miracle if only so someone can hold off night rogue so he can recover his breath. It was after he made a dodge roll from another shot that cyber noticed what had to be a eyecon but not one he recognized. Picking it up as he dodged a slash this time cyber looked it over. Similar to Ghosts but the the black on the casing was crimson red instead and the image in the centre had a black background with an outline of a mask of some kind that had two large red circles that seemed to have a myriad of red lines that almost seemed to be dripping below from them, running down the face of the mask.

Cyber could hear a voice in his head shortly after. “To those who hold this eyecon, I am Alex Shade, If you require the assistance of Kamen Rider Shade, click the side of my eyecon and call out my name, be it for a conversation or to protect your world from your enemies and I will heed your call.”

“Well talk about just what i needed” Cyber muttered as he jumped back from night rogue.

He clicked the eyecon.

“Alex!” he called deciding to pull a sora from kingdom hearts, only for nothing to seem to happen.

“Oh come on!” cyber muttered barely blocking the steam blade with his default weapon and winced at the strength behind it and found himself skidding on his feet for a bit.

Then he saw what looked like a spectreal seal like he saw from watching ghost only a bit more demonic with the face of the eyecon’s persona in the center.

“What?” asked nightrougue confused as a lull in the battle happened as the combattants looked at the ghost like seal that appeared.

It was then a chuckle was heard before a deep demonic voice chuckled out, “Like the light show,” before multiple gunshots were heard as bullets struck the back of Night Rogue, “because there’s a lot more where those came from.”

Cyber looked behind night rogue to see a ghost rider with the transient armor looking red instead of either orange or blue on the lines outlining the skeleton with a demonic eye for the emblem on the chest with what looked like multiple bands on the arms. The parka ghost was a deep crimson with what looked like black chains hooked to the shoulders. His mask had the same look as the face of the persona .

“What’s with that face, never seen another Rider before?” The Rider asked with a slight chuckle that even then sounded twisted and distorted giving off a unnerving feel to his tone.

“Nah it’s not that just didn’t expect you to mean it with the Shade thing that is really authentic for your rider armor” cyber said pointing to glaive who was resuming the fight with the smash.

The Rider then took another volley of shots into the Night Rouge’s body and he quickly moved around him while opening fire on him until he reached the side of Cyber.

“Anyway thanks even after knowing what nightrogue does meeting the real thing is something else” cyber said.

“What the hell’s a Night Rouge?” the Rider asked in confusion.

“Dark rider much like the dark necroms not a full rider but this guy is really strong. He’s from Kamen Rider Build the latest rider last i checked. I haven’t been a rider much just today” cyber explained with a shrug.

“Don’t worry then, i’ll help you deal with him. Oh and till we deal with this, call me Shade,” the rider requested as his pistols he was holding disappeared into a set of green particles being replaced with a sword and shield seconds later.

“I know i heard the message from the eyecon. Yume hideki, kamen rider cyber” cyber introduced resummoning the glaive rouzer.

“I see, just make me one promise… try not to die,” Shade remarked calmly before he took a single step forward, “he won’t take much to burn away.”

“Well then best to show him why riders always help each other out” cyber nodded switching his ganbasaber to gun mode and taking aim.

“Don’t underestimate me!” night rogue shouted combining his steam gun with his steam blade as a mechanical voice called out RIFLE MODE.

“Okay, I won’t,” Shade’s voice responded from behind Night Rouge’s back as Shade’s sword was stabbed clean through his chest, “but you may not live to regret that statement.”

“Gah! This isn’t the last you will hear of me!” Night Rouge snarled before the pipes on his armor released black smoke and when it cleared he was gone.

“Well now to deal with the smash then looks like it just took out glaive” cyber said looking to see his summoned rider turn to data.

“I get a feeling, that Rider of yours wasn’t real,” Shade admitted slowly bring his sword to his side as a black viscous liquid dripped from the end of the blade.

“Nah had to fight the real one earlier today to save a dragoness from becoming a shocker experiment and as a result gained the ability to call up a echo of sorts and his weapon” cyber admitted.

“What the hell’s a Shocker, some Marvel Villain or something?”

“Okay how much do you know about kamen rider?” cyber asked raising a unseen eyebrow.

“Frankly… almost nothing I saw only five episodes of Ghost before I was murdered, and that’s about it, apart from what I learnt from meeting others.”

“I’ll give you the cliff notes later i mean i’m a rider from a arcade game back home” cyber chuckled before pulling off the screen on his helmet and putting it back on after turning it around making a pair of wings appear on his back as his weapon became a energy broadsword.

Shade then smiled as he removed the Shade eyecon from his Driver before pulling out a new one and inserting it as his old Parka Ghost dissipated into red particles before a voice shouted out, “Kaigan: Fourze! Switch oshita! Uchū kitā!” as Shade roze both his hands over his head.

It was then Cyber saw that Shade now held the visage of Kamen Rider Fourze, which currently had a large Rocket attached to it’s right arm.

“Huh you already got kamen rider fourze’s legend eyecon? Neet” cyber said with a chuckle as he took flight.

“Trust me, this is just scratching the surface,” Shade admitted as he used the rocket to propel himself forwards towards the Smash ahead of them.

“We really should compare notes on what we have done after this” Cyber said right behind him as he pulled out his final card and slotted it into his belt.

CYBER FINAL DELETE

His weapon glowed brighter as he got ready to slash. With a underarm swing he batted the Rabbit Smash into the sky letting Shade take his shot.

At this Shade smirked as the Rocket on his arm impacted the Smash forcing it upwards into the sky on the end of it, once they were high enough Shade quickly threw it below it before removing the Fourze Eyecon quickly replacing it with another as the words, “”Kaigan: Wizard! Yubiwa no mahō! Saigo no kibō!” was heard as he took the visage of Kamen Rider Wizard.”

Cyber was below the Smash getting ready for a Cross Attack, as he saw multiple runic magic circles forming in the sky above him the third encompassing the Smash as the words “Wizard! Omega Drive!” before Shade began to fall towards the Smash skewering it on the end of his leg as both of them fell towards the ground at terminal velocity.

Cyber followed flipping into the air once to build momentum in his blade slashing the smash further accelerating it before it impacted the ground before it exploded and both riders landed.

“Phew “ cyber said as his burst mode deactivated and his weapons dismissed.

Looking to the result he found the smash laying there and his belt beeped making him look down to see it project what looked like a small capsule sized empty bottle. Smirking he shook it before twisting the cap and pointed it at the smash which gathered some golden dust from it reverting it to what looked like a pegasus in white ragged clothes.

“Well looks like pandora’s box is somewhere in equestria” Cyber said frowning.

He flipped the cap on the bottle closed now bulging with a web pattern on the front before it glowed with the small harmonic energy his driver had scanned earlier turning it sleek and red with a rabbit instead of a web.

He turned to shade and tossed him the Rabbit full bottle.

“Here this should make another legend eyecon specifically build’s and i better make sure Princess Twilight is alright with Rarity” Cyber said removing his cards from his driver removing his armor.
Shade then looked to the Full Bottle in his hand before smiling under his helmet before he asked, “How are the ponies in this world with Human’s?”

“I’m the first one to stay human here. The dimensional barrier in this world is really weak from what i know. There is also apparently a portal to a human world somewhere and going through it makes you the local species.” yume said confused.

“I see,” Shade replied as he untransformed, but what caught Yume by surprise was the fact that the person under the suit was not human, but an Alicorn Stallion with a completely black coat and crimson red mane and tail.

“For some reason your reminding me of the inverted shadow’s pony persona on youtube just as a alicorn and with a different cutie mark all your missing is the top hat” yume deadpanned.

“I don’t know how to take that, I would have arrived in my human form, but I was in the process of dealing with some pests back home and most ponies don’t know of the existence of humans there.”

“Ah got you. Still i think you might be in a different time frame then i am from what twilight explained with rarity this world is about seventy or so years ahead of the world your in. What was the last event you went through before i summoned you” yume asked.

“Well, I did just get back from the moon with Luna and Midnight,” Shade admitted as he looked lost in thought.

“Ah then your world is exactly over seventy-five years from ours” said a familiar voice as yume turned to see Princess twilight with rarity looking over the pegasus though yume noted that alex Shade looked surprised by rarity’s current looks.

“I think there’s a very long explanation coming from all of us isn’t there” yume asked and Twilight nodded adjusting her wings as she lead the group into her castle.

Sitting down in the library yume looked to twilight.

“Shall i go first twilight i think alex here is going to answer a few questions on my own once i start my side of things.” yume asked.

“Of course just as well as i want to know just what you did or how you know that night rogue figure” twilight nodded.

I turned to alex, who had changed form into that of a human with black hair and blue eyes. He was wearing black tracksuit bottoms, and a red t-shirt below and an open black and red trimmed hooded jacket as they had made there way to the castle as he took a deep breath.

“So i ended up here when someone stole a prop i made for a convention and replaced it with a working ganbadriver from the game kamen rider ganbarizing and it came with three cards. I missed a event i was at the convention for as a result so when i went home i just checked why the belt was so different when next thing i knew i’m waking up in this castle. And ever since it’s been a hectic day from fighting kamen rider glaive, adopting a dragoness youngling and then meeting a android pony to nightrougue appearing trying to convince me to join a terrorist group called shocker the very group that made the original kamen rider. Naturally i refused and you know the rest alex. Night rogue is from the latest rider to appear kamen rider build. A scientist who has to fight smash people experimented on with nebula gas contained in the pandora’s box. And if you know your myths you know that’s bad news.” i said as like i said hectic day and it looked like shocker got their hands on this world’s pandora’s box.

“But what are kamen riders” asked rarity giving us a confused look.

“You want to handle that one alex?” yume asked.

“Trust me on this, I barely know myself,” Alex admitted as he rubbed the back of his head.

“All right then. Kamen riders are a kind of hero and story back where me and alex are from and started around eighty years back. The first kamen rider was a cyborg who was being turned into a super soldier weapon by shocker. The remnants of the nazis alex. They even revived hitler as a starfish monster. Their that batshit insane. Ichigo the first rider escaped and started fighting the very organization that made him. After him came various riders and their enemies. Two separate eras of riders formed. Me and alex are technically of the heisei era. There’s besides ichigo and us nigo, v3, amazon, stronger, super-1, riderman, zx, black and his evolution rx, j, shin and a few for the showa era. All of the showa era were cyborgs. More important for alex is the heisei riders. Kuuga, agito, blade, faiz, ryuki, hibiki, kabuto, den-o, kiva, decade, double, ooo, fourze, wizard, gaim, drive, ghost which alex counts for that type of rider, ex-aid and finally build. My rider system is from a game where all these riders collide. Unfortunately my collection of cards from that game got scattered and now they are coming to life which might have brought shocker here as a result. Glaive is from blade’s story the missing ace. Alex as you already hold two legend eyecons of past riders you should know the eyecons from kuuga to drive can create a heisei eyecon where you can use either ichigo’s abilities or the combined power of the riders that form the eyecon. That reminds me how much did you remember of ghost specifically?” yume asked turning to alex curious.

“Honestly, I’m ashamed to admit that I know almost nothing about Ghost either, I was never deeply into Kamen Rider at all when I got turned into what I am now.”

“So what eyecons do you have and i will try and fill in the blanks” yume suggested.

“Well, I have my standard Shade Eyecon, then I have Musashi, Edison, Robin Hood, Billy the Kid, Beethoven, Benkei, Houdini, Fourze, Wizard, Drive and well one that I assume isn’t normal.”

“Really huh. Anyway all but your standard and the legend rider eyecons are part of a specific set of fifteen eyecons able to grant a reality altering wish. Your just missing tutankhamun, grimm, sanzou, himeko, ryouma,newton, nobunaga and a certain ninja i know he did kobuki but it’s been years since i refreshed my native history i know the name starts with g…goemon i think” yume said sheepishly at the end. But then he went serious.“but can you show me this odd eyecon?” he added

“I don’t need to show you it, this would make it clearer,” Alex admitted as he pulled out the Kamen Rider Chronicles Gashat from his pocket and passed it to Yume, “need I say more?”

“Oh boy if you picked this up then your really either lucky or really don’t know just how dangerous this is. This thing is a rider system of itself. It can be used in a driver compatible for it but just pressing the button twice will create a rider armor. If you have a ex-aid in your world then don’t trust kamen rider genm he’s insane to make this” yume warned.

“Genm? Wait, please tell me his suit isn’t mostly black,” Alex asked hesitantly.

“Purple as well with red eyes on his helmet. Something tells me you have one heck of a story there” yume sighed pinching the bridge of his nose.

“Umm… kind of, I found a dvd a long time ago that had a recorded message from a rider, a lot of it was corrupted but we found out there were riders in my world before me, and all but two of them were murdered by another one, I only saw a blurry image on the Rider who killed them but if your description is correct it’s likely this Genm is the Rider in question.

“Then i better tell you this. Genm is a recolor of ex-aid. Both look generally identical. Kamen rider chronicle was made from data of the bugsters a virus created from the y2k event back home and trust me the original genm was insane to made the virus. Ever heard of the cross of fire? Basically we riders gain our powers as a counter to the specific foes we face in your case ganma. Fight fire with fire basically.and let me tell you genm is not easy to face. Watch out if he pulls out a dangerous zombie gashat if you drop his life bar to zero he can make that gashat from his death data through his bugvizer and a blank gashat. The suits if the hp bar on the chest gets empty the bugster virus consumes them normally and erases them into a cyber world in the gashats. Not pretty. And don’t let him be able to make more of chronicle. Otherwise you will have to fight bugsters that pop up alongside mass produced lesser versions of kamen rider chronos. Ride players are the general term for the goomba based suits that form from just the gashat.” yume explained. His driver made a beeping noise as a set of six cards ejected showing kamen rider chronos, a ride player and their weapons plus a final move which yume caught.

“And this is how i got glaive and his rouzer after that rider was defeated. What remained of his rider system became cards but for ones i didn’t originally own seems the driver provides from coming into contact with another rider’s items. Just surprised i didn’t get one of you alex when i picked up that eyecon” yume said blinking.

Another beep sounded as a black card shot out of the driver with not circuitry but the demonic eye of shade and red lines connected to it spun in the air once and landed on the table. With it was a card of shade himself surrounded by his various weapons.

“Ah there we go huh guess i got a fourth form now outside the default three of the game. Yeah so far i think the riders in this world are the collective combination of specific card sets thus giving them their full abilities. Anyway here you can have this back” yume said handing chronicle back to alex.

As Alex was handed the Gashat back he placed it in his pocket before he said, “There were a few other things i’ve acquired over time, but I’m assuming your friends there want to ask just why they saw me as an Alicorn before.”

“Considering i’ve been human a few times going through a enchanted mirror not really for me” twilight said.

“Our dimensional barrier was weakened to the point anything that falls through becomes the local equivalent” rarity said.

“Yume here is the exception as his case is a bit unusual” twilight said.

“Heck one of the ponies i met is literally half human apparently her mother ended up in a human realm in a different universe. She’s like a meister from soul eater as a result. Able to convert other ponies to weapons when needed. She fought off a squad of shocker troops before i arrived to fight glaive.” yume said.“So are there others like us alex” he added raising a eyebrow.

“Convert people to weapons,” Alex admitted with a chuckle as he placed his hand on one of the bands on his right arm, “That almost sounds too familiar.”

“It’s temporary my son had studied the effect a long while” twilight said amused though a bit confused at alex.

“I think it’s better I show you than try to explain it,” Alex admitted as he rotated the band on his arm before red particles seemed to shift on the band before forming into a figure beside him, a figure very familiar to Twilight, that of Queen Chrysalis, but she seemed to be wearing crimson armour that covered her chiten with the symbol used in Ghost, but red in colour.

“Lord Shade, what need do you have of me right now it seems more like your just having a conversation with…” She then stopped as she saw Twilight and said, “Okay, how far in the future are we?”

“Over seventy- five years from what i know” yume said watching twilight have a expression between shock and disbelief.

“That’s just great,” Chrysalis muttered in annoyance.

“So you have a non lethal finisher i’m guessing? She was the gun you used against night rogue right?” yume asked blinking.

“Your correct,” Alex admitted as he nodded to Chrysalis as she dispersed into green light before reforming into the two of the pistols Yume had saw him using before.

“So guess you have a aspect of kiva then you have Arms Monsters like he did” yume compared.

“Once again, I have no idea what that is, but i’m assuming so.”

“Kiva had three beings similar to a werewolf, a merman, and frankenstein’s monster able to turn into a sword, gun and hammer respectively. And altered into them by chains by another rider years beforehand” yume explained. “Kiva’s theme was halloween based specifically vampire so if you start seeing monsters with stained glass on them and reports of glass husks that easily shatter those are fangire the enemies of kiva”

“I see,” Alex responded bringing both pistols to his sides as they seemed to stick to them almost like there were two holsters there.

“Still you didn’t answer my question am i not the only one besides you in this situation?” yume asked with a look.

“Right sorry, not by a longshot. I’m assuming your aware of multiverse theory, if not you then Twilight most likely is.”

“You kidding that’s decade’s thing the guy dimension hops for his story. He can access the abilities of his nine predecessors. Why do you think he’s called decade” yume deadpanned as frankly for a rider fan like him that was obvious and also a very good explanation and answer.

“I asked that as the rider multiverse i knew about and if i’m become the rider of this world then i figured i’m not the only one in a similar situation. And your proof of that by being here now. So anything i should know about us being what we are i don’t know yet like say how a copy of your personal eyecon got here for example” yume said pulling out said eyecon.

“Yes, that is what people like me collectively known as Displaced used as a method of reaching each other, we normally call them Tokens and each are in most cases specific to the Displaced they belong to. For example you can see for mine I used my Eyecon, while for someone else I met they used this,” Alex replied as he held out a Gate switch.

“Huh so someone is fourze out there or kamen rider meteor so fourze is more likely as you got his eyecon” yume said snapping his fingers as he pulled out a green circuitry covered card.

“Also, on an unrelated note I know two other riders but they aren’t Displaced, I met my worlds Rainbow Dash who is Drive and a pony who was Eternal… no idea who he is under his mask though.”

“Huh and i’m guessing you’ve met others who were not riders as well like super sentai?” yume asked.

“To that regard I guess, there is a younger boy in my world who said he was called Dylon but I think he’s from Power Rangers RPM.”

“So how do i make my own token?” yume asked curious.

“Well that’s simple, first you need something that you want to be your token, it can be anything, and don’t worry if it’s something you can’t afford to loose you still keep the original version of your token.”

Yume held up his default change card he had pulled out earlier.

“Okay, Next you need to think you something the other person who finds your token will hear, i’m assuming you heard mine.”

“Okay then. *ahem* my name is yume hideki, kamen rider cyber if you need help protecting your world or just need a friend just give me a call” yume said making twilight smile as she was the princess of friendship so this made her happy that was his message.

“Okay then, the final thing that you need to do is send it into the void, normally this happens automatically as multiples before the copies disappear.”
“Hmm i think i know” yume said waving his free hand over his buckle making it project a green retangular portal and held up his token watching as it multiplied and entered the portal and it closed.

“Good thing i remembered the trailer about my system showed a teleport system and if this was built slightly differently and adding in the weak barrier between worlds… yeah i think that worked” yume said thoughtfully.

“It looks like it did,” Alex replied with a nod of his head as a small red burning portal opened beside his hand as a copy of the Token Yume had just created appeared from it. “Well, that was unexpected.”

“Oh yeah almost forgot there’s a ganbarizing eyecon as well! And alex here’s a tidbit for you the ghost driver can summon ghost’s signature weapon separately from the eyecons in rider form. Which might help you on weapons you can’t use yet. If you get tutankhamun you need to find a way to get a scythe maybe ask your twilight to help you make your own ghost gadgets it pays to have a back up plan if you can’t use your arms monsters for any reason. Your responsible for their health after all” yume said looking sheepish. It had been a few years since he saw ghost.

“My health is of no consequence,” Alex admitted sadly.

“I meant chrysalis and the others you got and don’t say that ghost or not they depend on you just as you depend on them you work together as a team if you don’t care for yourself sometimes then let them be your reason to keep going. Shade or not you’re not alone so don’t act like you are. Spectre did that and nearly lost his sister as a result… you do know houdini can become a motorcycle right? The addition to the back of him is a bike split in half down the middle.” yume said.

“I don’t need to worry about that one… just maybe not summon it inside,” Alex admitted sheepishly.

“Still have to be sure. Chrysalis you and the others make sure he doesn’t doubt himself for long he’s going to need you lot to keep what he’s protecting in sight. If he starts having doubts get him back to his senses if you need to” yume said.

“No i mean I can’t summon my bike inside, did that once and damaged the room a fair bit.”

“Dude you do know normally the bikes gain ghost abilities as well right the machine hoodie is houdini so he can phase through things. He wasn’t known as a escape artist for nothing” yume said remembering the fact ghost’s motorbike had the soul of a horse. And that was a realm of possibility on that front.

“What i’m saying is don’t sell yourself short and trust me you do have a weakness. Ghost found out the hard way if his eyecon breaks he’s gone as well so you need to be sure to keep that intact.” yume said giving him a look. He then yawned.

“It’s getting late so how do i send you back?” he said noting rarity and twilight had fallen asleep.

“You simply have to say, that our contract is complete, and it should send me back,” Alex admitted calmly.

“Right just keep what i said in mind. I already feel guilty about getting mad at a friend before i ended up here so i want to try and not go through that again. So hope we can become friends. Alex our contract is complete” yume said.

“Okay,” Alex replied as he held his hand out to Yume before he said, “If you ever need my help again you know where to find me.”

“You know it just as long as i get to visit you sometime.” yume said with a grin.

“No worries there,” Alex agreed with a smile.

“Also please keep twilight’s future from your own i don’t know what yours is like but if your friend reacted like that then i don’t think twilight was born a alicorn. I met her son and he’s a unicorn” yume said.

“She has a son?”

“A lot can happen in seventy-five years remember this is this world’s version of her she might not be a mother in your world. I thought twilight already mentioned it earlier. Either way later” yume told him amused.

“Okay, okay,” Alex replied as a portal opened behind him as turned around and walked through it as it closed behind him.

“Now to finally end this long day” yume said gathering his cards and headed to bed he was exhausted and also resolved to find time to train as first day or not it was crazy. Maybe he can join rarity for tomorrow?

the apples are definitely surprising

The next morning yume watched as twilight rushed out speeding through breakfast.

"Sorry everyone i got an emergency call from canterlot that i must respond to immediately something about changelings invading" said twilight around a slice of toast. She briefly thought of the alternate chrysalis she met last night.

"Me and sparity are going out gem hunting want to come with us" spike asked.

"No sorry but i wish you two a good time" said twilight.

What will you do today rarity, yume?" she added looking to her remaining two guests.

"What will i do today? I think ill take another walk around town" said rarity.

"Ill go with you rarity and maybe train in my new abilities. Night rouge is still out there along with other riders and i need to get used to fighting long term. If i didn't find that token when i did i was not going to last long. Im still new to being a kamen rider after all and while i can summon back up well i still need to work on my teamwork with said backup. Which i'm going to have to ask dawn for help with later" yume said as everyone here now knew of his abilities. And what had happened last night even as it took them a while to digest. Especially as most of those riders were copies created by a collection of cards. Alex was a good indicator of yume not being a isolated incident in the multiverse.

With that yume and rarity found themselves at sweet apple acres.

Following the sounds of impacts the two found apple eden harvesting apples... With martial arts. With apple eden getting startled on at nearly hitting rarity.

"Im so sorry i didn't know you were there!" she exclaimed closing her eyes.

"It's okay im not harmed" rarity waved off. 'sweet celestia that was close i thought i was going to death again' she thought.

"Interesting use of martial arts though maybe you can help me with mine i know the bare basics and with my job i'm going to need better combat skills" yume said chuckling knowing that most riders have some degree in hand to hand. Though why did his driver make a second rabbit fullbottle on his night stand he didn't know. The speed from it was going to come in handy though.

"Uh sure. Anyway anything i can do for you miss rarity" asked eden.

"I just wanted to see what sweet apple acres looked like in this age that's all are there any others?" rarity asked.

"Actually i work alone here in the apple fields while my cousin works somewhere else, and her mother does housework, my mother sells apples in the crystal empire, my dad sells apples in the griffon empire" started eden and as she went on rarity had a odd expression on her face while yume had a sweatdrop form on his head.

'i heard of family business but this really takes it up to eleven it seems' yume thought not sure what rarity was thinking but by her expression might have been hilarious if spoke aloud.

"Well you must be hard working mare if your able to work on this large field alone" rarity said with a smile.

"Actually it's just... For everypony else's protection my mother said it was to dangerous to work near me" eden said and yume blinked confused but with what he saw of her... Right insane strength he could see why it would be dangerous to be near her on the job.

"Oh.... Well.... I think i'll just let you get back you work while i go see to the others" rarity said as she and yume started leaving.

"Good morning by the way" she called over her shoulder.

"Have a nice day miss rarity and you too little one" eden said the last bit a bit quieter as they moved away bu yume caught it and looked around before spotting a ghost on rarity's back that looked like a smaller version of sparity with her coloration being black and blue instead of lavender and green but she still had her mothers eyes from what yume could tell. He blinked realizing rarity was pregnant as the spirit sunk into her body. Well that was going to be interesting. Rarity looked to be in deep thought and yume saw she didn't notice the ground shaking as he turned his head to see eden had caused a earthquake to quicken her job. He was now slightly regretting asking her for help on his martial arts. He might go armored if only to stay alive.

Entering the farm house rarity called out. "Hello anyone home?"

"Wow place feels homely" yume noted feeling some of his just gained stress leaving.

"Oh the house may have changed but it still gives off the same homely cottage felling it always has" agreed rarity before she spotted something.

"Oh what's this? Is it some kind of outfit or armor?" she asked looking at some kind of display and yume himself took a look.

Inside was a outfit that looked familiar to yume with chainmail greaves and other such armor that didn't look like plate armor and next to it was a longsword.

"Huh odd i get the feeling i saw something like this before but it's a bit faint like i should know it on sight or something" yume noted.

"But which species can wear this, it's a bit small for a minotaur for the top and the legs are not quite right for a diamond dog" said rarity frowning.

"Actually this looks like armor humans used to wear in ages past before plate armor was invented or around that time" yume said but the way it looked made him think it was more recent for him then it should.

"It's something i used to wear on my long journey on another world, so it is true, your still alive and have returned, sorry i couldn't be at your party yesterday i only just got back from dodge city and only heard about it from apple eden this morning" said a voice from behind the two making them jump.

'that voice' rarity thought and turned around. "Granny smith" she called surprised and yume turned around to find a scarred orange mare in a stetson hat with a ring through a necklace and was that a halo on her head? The scar on her chest caught yume's attention as the fact despite the long slash from her right shoulder to bellow her left armpit there was a star shaped scar right over her heart and a familiar marking it was to yume and looking at a nearby window showed a sword hilt poking over the sill with the sound of flames out the window. Things finally clicked into place for yume on where he saw that armor before.

"Was that supposed to be a joke rarity my voice can't be that old" asked the mare sounding ticked off.

"Oh sweet nightmare moon it's been so long i never thought i would ever see you again!" rarity cried as she embraced the mare making yume confused.

"Me too i missed you so much" exclaimed the mare. "And i said im applejack my body cant be that dark" she added making yume wonder when she said her name before going wide eyed. So this was aj jr's mother aj sr. Her namesake.

"Well nice to meet you ma'am i'm yume hidki i think i met your daughter yesterday though i wish she didn't be rude to her friends she blew off dawn when he was talking to her after i helped her save a dragoness from some figures from my world" yume said making applejack sr go wide eyed.

"Before applejack could say something rarity distracted her.

"But what happened to your country mare skin? Why is it covered in scars like this! I know you never prioritized beauty but why would you let yourself get hurt like this" she asked and yume winced seeing she unknowingly placed the tip of her horn at applejack's neck just under her jaw.

"Rarity your horn! Back up a bit before you accidently jam it into her neck" yume said wide eyed as he panicked a bit.

She went wide eyed and backed up blushing as applejack breathed a sigh of relief.

"I got these scars from another world. Im lucky to just receive them instead of losing a limb or my own life. The world i lived was always fighting and filled with horrors. I had lived in that dark and ruel place for two years until twilight rescued me fourteen years ago with her portal technology" applejack said.

"Yeah lordan has that effect especially as you picked up the curse on the place" yume said with a sigh scratching the back of his head making rarity and applejack snap their heads to him.

"You know where she's been/ what do you mean curse?" both demanded.

"In order yes i do the events of that world was fiction back in my world so that universe as known as the dark souls verse. As to the second question dragons are supposed to be immortal in that world and managing to kill one had left a curse on the residents. The marking on applejack's chest is a sign of the curse. It's called the dark sign. So sorry to break it to you applejack but you did in fact lose your life in a way. That dark sign marks you as undead. And if you got that bonfire outside when you die you will just reappear at the bonfire. Your effectively immortal like that" yume said frowning.

"Guess that makes the two of us somewhat the same considering my daughter was my dark side before reviving me in exchange of being reborn as sparity" said rarity with a chuckle.

"Explains a bit of what i know about the half dragon though i think dawn knows more about her a bit more than i do as i only arrived in this world yesterday so i don't know much... And something about her does feel a little off" yume mused as well when he met sparity something about her felt older then she should.

"And what's with that ring? Why do you keep it close like that... Wait don't tell me it's..." rarity asked turning back to applejack and she looked thankful for the topic change.

"Yes rarity it's my engagement ring" said applejack.

"Oh congratulations! Who's the lucky stallion and when are you two going to marry" rarity asked and yume winced he could already tell what happened to the father.

"It's never going to happen rarity... He's been dead for 14 years now. He's been dead before our child was even born and i was left in that cruel world all lone until twilight found me and brought me back to our peaceful world" applejack said hiding her eyes under the shadow of her hat. "For two years i had fought in that world with the hope of seeing my family again. I tried so hard to survive until i returned to equestria only to find more than 150 years had passed by in equestria. It was just like they were alive yesterday but now lie in their graves and i never even had the chance to say goodbye. my sorrow nearly killed me but with twilight and my future apple family's support i had passed that hard time and gave birth to my own little apple. A child i had with a man from another world" said applejack clearly reminiscing.

"Unfortunately this world is no longer going to be peaceful. Yesterday and last night showed that much. See i wasn't the only thing brought to equestria. My card collection followed and has been scattered creating what are kind of echos of legendary figures from my home out of them. Kamen riders. Both good and evil ones. When i met your daughter i was going to save her from a evil rider that wasn't in my collection. Kamen rider glaive. He was supposed to be a immortal being but well shody medical practices after the beating he last received made him mortal. I finished him off and what remained of him became a card alongside his weapon and giving me the ability to use his finishers. With how injured he was it was a even fight but last night i met the latest evil rider i knew who was more out of my league and had been lucky to find something to call back up and drive him off while showing i still have a long way to go. Again not part of my collection but this world's pandora box was found and after what that thing did to mars back home it's not exactly a good thing. Currently i have one of the needed keys to unlock the damn thing. Out of sixty. Don't know much more other than that though that event was just starting when i entered equestria" yume said.

"That was so sad! I'm sorry i reminded you of it all" rarity sobbed on a sofa making yume jump.

"It's okay rarity i'm fine now" said applejack. 'she kept that sofa?' she thought.

"Where in the world did the sofa come from it wasn't there a second ago" yume vocalized the thought as he stared wide eyed making rarity blush.

Applejack giggled at that reaction. "you haven't changed at all sugarcube. Always the drama queen" she said

"Oh hush! Do you think time could change me? Not at all! My generosity remains the same as well. So if you ever feel lonely again don't hesitate to tell me... And my handsome gentledrake. It would be just like that good old time in the barn" rarity said.

"RARITY!" applejack yelped blushing up a storm and yume stared at her wide eyed.

"I really didn't need to hear that about your lovelife rarity and you just aired that out in front of a fellow guest of twilight" yume said making the unicorn freeze as yume was technically a stranger and she forgot he was there in the first place. Talk about embarrassing not just applejack but herself as well.

"So aj where is your daughter" asked rarity to change that topic from her mortification.

"Hmm well i asked her to take care of the corn fields but i know my daughter well enough to know she might already snuck away to practice her fighting skills" said applejack clearly miffed at that.

"Sneaking away from a assigned job? That doesn't sound like a daughter of a hard working mare like yourself" said rarity.

"She is more like her father. A fighter at heart her head always seeks the thrill of the fight" said applejack and yume shook his head.

"That would be the human genetics at play. Conflict is hard coded in us we just need a reason for it. And adaption is a trait perfect for such a thing. With such a half and half being aj jr is always going to be a fighter and as her mother's daughter a defender as she might feel like she needs to keep up with the sheer strength of eden. And her ability to become a meister with a partner becoming a weapon her instincts are as tuned to that as it can get" yume revealed.

"Fight? What does she fight for?" rarity asked filing that information away.

"Well she is the current element of loyalty for the new mane six. Her and her friends have to save the day just like we used to do in the past" said applejack.

"Why loyalty" asked rarity.

"Err it might be because she isn't very honest i guess" said applejack clearly embarrassed at that fact.

"More like she's not honest with herself not letting on what she really feels and puts up a wall to distance herself thinking she could protect her friends by keeping them at a distance. And has put herself in a very black and white mentality from what i know of her from yesterday and it took a lot for her to accept ace's help when i got to her to save her from glave" yume reminded.

"Speaking of which i'm going to have a long talk to her again about that unfortunately she got her stubbornness from both me and her father" said applejack clearly not liking the fact she was being reckless again it seemed.

"Hey aj it's been kinda bothering me for a while now but what is that ring" asked rarity.

"The ring but i already explained that" applejack said.

"She means the halo above your head" yume clarified.

"Halo! Are you a angel applejack" asked rarity shocked.

"Yep but only for yesterday when i helped the crusaders in getting their movie maker cutie mark i guess i simply forgot to take it off my hat until now" applejack said taking it off.

Then started eating it.

"Is that halo even edible" asked rarity.

'well it is made of marshmallow" applejack replied making yume blink in confusion. "I can't help it marshmallows made by marshmellow are the best marshmallows their delicious" she said noticing.

"I'm surprised no one got a sugar rush as those are made of mostly sugar" yume said remembering how kids normally get hyped by sugar.

Exiting the house the three got ready to head out.

"I have to go and check the corn fields now, have to harvest it for my lazy daughter. Will you be fine on your own now rarity" asked applejack.

I will be fine aj see you again another time?" asked rarity.

"Sure and i promise it wont take 150 years this time" she replied.

Yume saw rarity glance at the bonfire with a sword sticking out.

"Remember that bonfire i mentioned earlier? Thats it surprised she made this one though as well that means she's the fire keeper for this world. At least it didn't take her sight like the one her husband knew in lordan" yume explained.

"What do you mean?" asked rarity.

"Her life is tied to the flame though not like other fire keepers. She can make it stronger but mainly if she dies she revives at the flame instead of the flame dying with her. Different world different rules so to speak." he said making rarity nod in understanding.

"We better go find applejack jr if only so her mother knows where she is" said rarity.

Summoning his hoverbike yume chuckled. "Well ill go by air might find her faster that way" yume said flying off. He needed to get used to this bike for the long one.

hard lessons or not

"Counter strike!" was heard as yume looked down and saw aj jr apparently get trounced and sighed before jumping from the machine coder as he decided to name the bike. He landed next to little aj and gave the anthro pony a look.

"Now you are dead, i said to have a very firm grip on your weapon. And fight with a hot head will bring you defeat" said the cloaked pony and yume realized this must be her teacher. "Go get your weapon back my pupil you still have much to learn" the pony said.

"Yes master." said applejack jr with a groan.

"Though after you do that your mother would like a word with you. Shirking your chores has her ticked" yume spoke up making the anthro pony freeze and yume shared a look with her teacher that only those who incurred a mothers anger and disappointment would get.

"Also a old family friend of your mother is also looking for you. Just be careful she's pregnant and doesn't know it yet. Her name is rarity by the way and she's a nightmare pony unicorn. And twilight's sister in law so if you end up meeting her please don't harm her as she is part of a noble's family and well getting princess twilight mad is the last thing you need" yume told her as he had the feeling the warning was going to end up being ignored. He doubted the half human even heard in her reaction of her mother's current mood.

She went off but yume still heard what she muttered.

"Jeez like he knows how difficult it is to fight with these weak hands and two unstable legs! If it wasn't for the fact i wanted to learn his spinning attack from his tiger scroll i wouldn't even bother with this boring ole training. I still have to find seven other sword masters to learn their techniques and im still stuck on the first one!"

Walking next to her yume sweatdropped.

"If you wanted to learn how to fight and fix your biological issues why didn't you ask me i know how to fight with those limbs and can help you on your balance" yume told her dryly making her freeze as he waved his own hand in emphasis as he showed he can fight when he helped her by stopping glaive.

Yume could see what aj sr meant about the stubborness as it gave the mare tunnel vision.

Blinking yume caught a card that shot out of a portal and sighed as it was obviously a token for someone who ended up as kamen rider decade. He listened to it's message before pocketing the card he would have to visit the guy later for now he had to help little aj with her issues before she caused dangerous harm to someone.

She started looking while he sighed as we spotted rarity walk up with the kid's training blade poking out of her mane and looking ticked. Guess that last thought was too late.

"Where is my sword! Did he really have to knock it so far away. Did he do this on purpose just to get away from me for a while" said little aj.

"Is this what you're looking for little one" said rarity and yume sighed already hearing the ticked tone in her voice hidden by how kind it was.

"Oh yes that's my sword!" little aj perked up before she paled as her mind registered the sight she was looking at.

"So it's yours... Care to tell me why you tried to kill me then?" asked rarity eyes closed but the angry veins betrayed her mood. Yume wisely moved away from the anthro pony.

"It was a accident i swear! Please it wasn't me who threw it at your head" panicked aj jr.

"I can confirm that it was apparently her instructor of the blade who did so" yume said sighing.

He can tell where this was going.

"Oh and rarity be careful eden confirmed your pregnant so try not to get hit in the stomach area who knows what the element fragment little aj has will do to the baby" he warned the unicorn making both wide eyed.

He could see the harmony bar floating above rarity and decided to warn both just incase the harmony purification caused a miscarriage. He wasn't able to see what happened as he felt a tug and vanished as someone must have found his token and called him up. he was not aware serene had found him and latched onto his back when that happened.
