Chapter 1

I couldn't beleive my eyes at what I was seeing. Why me of all people! My name is james and just today the day before valentine's day I turned 21 years old and floating before me was a holographic screen with text in it that I have read about in fanfiction. A text box normally seen in the gamer stories. A series where a person's life gets turned into a video game. And it seems I just became one of the gamers in the multiverse. My luck must be going on the fritz because as awesome as the ability is it can be a curse. The text was actually a quest box asking me to practice swordsman ship since I owned a wooden sword.

Oh right what do I look like you ask? I'm a Dutch irish male with mixed brown/blonde/red hair with green eyes. My outfit consisted of a black shirt with the words video games or homework yep games win. A pair of camouflage pants and a alcatraz hoodie. I also had a blue and white jacket. Oh and I wore black framed glasses due to being able to see 30% out of one eye. And I already found a large difference from yesterday. I was lacking facial hair. I now looked like a anime character without facial hair and my hair was back to when I was ten years old so I now looked like a mix of Ben Tennyson and Harry potter just missing the scar. Again. Yeah I was shocked when I noticed the resemblance when I was ten and then saw the movies and characters.

Not seeing any harm I hit yes to the quest and my wooden sword appeared in my hand. It was a knight sword made of plywood with the handle wrapped in a slightly worn red cloth from age. Heading outside my house I practiced my swords skills having had now six years experience with this sword before I became a gamer so I wasn't surprised I quickly gained the skill slash, and now I'm looking at the reward I gained from completing the quest and I was wide eyed at seeing what it was.

The steering sword the blade used by kamen rider drive! It even came with a shift car which I noted was type protozero. Looked like I knew what my base abilities are going to be. And now I was curious as to my skills. Thankfully I remembered the process for the gamer ability from fanfiction so it wasn't a surprise I got the hang of it. What surprised me was my stats.

I was already level ten and I inwardly groaned at the Ben ten reference it implicated. My health was around 200 points and seemed I needed a quest to unlock magic. My Intel was quite high since I read a lot of books mainly fanfiction and goosebumps. My strength was slightly above average while my speed was just about twice as above that. Dex and agility were about the same level but in between them. Defense though was the weakest of my stats while my wisdom was as good as int. Looked like I was right about speed being my best trait.

Oh I just reached my skills ... what the hell I already got the creation skill! [Infinite Creation] Huh different from the mage king version. Oh that's interesting looks like I create soul bound items as long as I am familiar with the concepts to make them. In order to soul bound them they have to be used by a person first the only downside is I can't copy a soul connected to the item in question. That means I won't be able to use kamen rider ghost items as those have souls in them to be able to be used. The best I could make would be the ghost driver and a blank eyecon. Let's see oh seems I got the skill from my own imagination. Makes me wonder about how skills are gained for me.

Anyway I already got a idea on what I can use for this skill first. I created a drive driver and shift brace which I put on and seeing as I had entered a ID feild for the swordsman ship quest got to training. I now figured to make my own rider vehicle.

Basically I combined the tridoron with a motorcycle and created a motorcycle designed after the tridoron. The front wheels were close to each other same with the back with the silver ports for the tire changes drive can use. The tailfin of the red and black bike was the same as the tridoron car. I made it so that the vehicle had a cockpit so like tridoron it had the ability to have a type wild and type technique mode. It pretty much looked like a narrowed streamlined version of the tridoron and with the four tires so close like that it could balance without tipping over I already placed the steering sword into the storage compartment and practiced driving with shift protozero in a holder connected to the vehicle for shift cars.

Once done I placed the items back into my inventory where I found my practice blade. I was ready to go for anything. I ended the ID feild and so no one could think something was going to be off I created a black glove on my right hand. But it was what the glove can do that was special. For it had the ability to open rifts to worlds that I want to travel to. But I wasn't going to use my newly created [Rift Glove] just yet. I placed my yugioh collection and my laptop plus my various games and books into my inventory.  Basically I placed my stuff in my inventory so I could take them with me. Don't want to risk not being able to go back just in case. That was why I made the glove able to record the locations of the dimensions I was in so that with a thought I can return to visit.

I was going on a journey. As a security measure I dna locked the glove to me. Once I was sure no one could steal the glove I decided to head out to the multiverse. With my destination in mind I activated the glove and vanished. Watch out multiverse The Gamer is about to create a storm!

Chapter 2

I grunted as I landed face first on the ground after I appeared in mid air facing the ground. Thankfully I had the gamers body which allowed me to survive the fall. But ouch that doesn't get rid of the pain. Lifting my head I found my glasses nearby and put them back on. Slowly I pushed myself up to my feet and winced at the sore feeling I had in my body. Ouch the fall took half my health no wonder it hurts. Okay take stock of surroundings while health recharges. Wow that's a familiar horse statue... Shoot I'm in the equestrian girls universe aren't i. I am off by a lot from my [Rift Glove].

Testing the mirror that should be the portal to equestria I found it closed. Figures. I wonder when in the timeline I'm in?

Spotting a familiar blue siren was the answer. Rainbow rocks then but if so the portal should be open with Twilight over here. Something wasn't right.

Sonata dusk by far my favorite of the dazzlings, and the sirens might have some answers as it looks like it's one of the rare times she wasn't with Aria and adagio. Before I could do so a quest appeared before my face.

Figure out what is wrong!

Locate anomalies in the world and fix them.

Reward: ???? And a weapon.

Huh so kingdom hearts style quests then nice to know. Slowly walking towards Sonata due to my pain I smiled at her as I made my way over. I registered that while she looks okay she actually seemed worried if the frown on her face and narrowed eyebrows was any indication. I heard a chime and realized I gotten [observe] which will be handy for the quest.

Sonata seemed to brighten up a bit clearly a front as I got closer.

"Hey you okay there you seemed worried about something" I asked with a concerned expression.

"That obvious huh? It's just that my sisters went missing a few days ago and I'm worried for their safety. Last I heard they were getting ready to practice for the battle of the bands and their not the only ones to have gone missing quite a few classmates have went missing as well. The battle of the bands is cancelled until they are found" said Sonata.

"Anyone you know gone missing?" I asked pulling out a notebook to write down names of the students.

"Applejack, rarity, twilight, rainbow, fluttershy, sunset, pinkie, plus five others trixie, flash, octavia, vinyl, and oh yeah applebloom. Those are who went missing so far" said sonata and I wrote them down now concerned as well.

"13 people missing? I'm not looking the sound of that. Is there anything that can help me figure out what exactly happened I'm a bit of a detective so this sounds like a case I can help with" I asked giving her a look.

"Yeah there was a symbol etched near where they were last seen but no one has any idea what it is. I managed to trace it to a paper so I can try and look it up" said sonata handing me a folded peice of paper and I opened it and froze seeing what looked like a omega symbol with a X over it inside a triangle. It can't be! I was thinking on making the group for a original novel before I gained the gamer ability. Delta Crossend. A orginazation dedicated to researching multidimensional theory and the effects on the human body it has. By the look of it this was post when the group went insane from the energy of the multiverse becoming monsters dedicated to taking over other worlds. In this case they would figure out who the major important people of each world was and put them somewhere where they couldn't interfer and as it seems the last five stumbled onto the event they were taken as well to prevent being discovered.

I looked up to her face pale.

"We are in major trouble. The group that this belongs to is not even close to being sane. Their dangerous enough to be a threat to the world. If anything they are able to take anyone they deem a threat to their plans and put them in a hard place to find. And if their who I think they are then your the next target" I said putting away the notebook.

"You know who took my sisters and the others?" Asked Sonata wide eyed.

"Not personally but yeah I know of them. That means I'm going to have to go all out to stop them if I am going to get everyone. Do you have a map with the locations of the symbol marked down?" I asked.

She nodded and handed me a map with various dots and I noted that the school was in the center of the dots. Taking a pen I connected them together into a circle then across where they overlapped the school forming what looked like a seal.

One I recognized from my mind where it was important to delta crossend. A spell able to create a feild over the area to influence the world to delta crossend's desire. dimensio Mutationem signaculum is what it's called and needs fourteen points to activate. Looking at the map I saw that the last point was at a old apartment complex to the southwest of here on mainstreet. Narrowing my eyes I looked up to sonata.

"Miss is this where you live" I asked pointing at the apartment building on the map.

"Yes it is!" Said sonata wide eyed.

"This image I drew is a seal able to alter reality to the group's desires which is turning every inhabitant into monsters and taking over the world as their rulers. The last point they need to do complete the conditions to make the seal is that location and placing you in a pocket dimension prison. By placing someone into the pocket dimension they use the dimensional frequency to power the seal which is designed to use it to carry out their goal. The only condition is that the person imprisoned must have a important impact to the world. Be it connected to the source of the impact, part of the event or just being in the wrong place at the wrong time. I think the last five you told me was of the wrong place wrong time catagory. Even worse news is that just one member can do all this. That explains why all those people are missing. Their being used to take over the world" I said grimly. Why did I make this group so terrifying.

"Is there a way to free them and stop this thing" asked Sonata.

"Yeah by defeating the one who set up the symbols. Last I checked there was about 10 members out of 12 active at a time. The ones they capture become insane and infused with the energy of the multiverse to become new members when they take over a world" I said as like I said terrifying.

"Then how can we stop them I don't have anything to fight this group" said Sonata with a serious face as by that sentence alone she figured out I wasn't native to this universe like her and her sisters.

"That's where I come in I got a ability to create objects to help fight. I can create something to counter the enemy we will face for you to defend yourself" I said and using my [Infinite Creation] skill I created a sword with the ability to counter dimensional magic and abilities which all delta crossend members have.

"There this is [dimension break] a sword with the ability to counter and nullify dimensional magic and abilities. Perfect to face delta crossend the group that is doing this" I said.

Sonata grabbed it and nodded looking at the prism like blade before placing it in a sheath I made for her.

"Now time for me to suit up for this fight" I said getting out my drive driver and bike plus protozero.

Putting on the belt as I always wear the shift brace I twisted the drive ignition and flipped the shift car to lever mode and slid it in the shift brace. A Rev was heard as this happened and I took a deep breath before I pushed the lever.

"Henshin!" I said.

Drive type speed! Was heard as the holographic column formed and I became this:

Kamen rider zerodrive! Sonata looked shocked to see my transformation and I opened the cockpit to my bike.

"Get in! We got a monster to defeat" I said hopping in and looking at her. Now that I think about it my ride resembled a mix between go kart and motorcycle. She sat behind me and I drove off and used the map to locate whichigo building the delta crossend usually use as a base in a world. Thank god for me making that predictable quirk. They were holed up in a abandoned train station. Standing before the old canterlot train station we looked to each other. I snapped my fingers gaining my steering sword from my vehicle which I dismissed back to my inventory.

We entered and there looking over a crystal was a blonde woman who looked like a humaniod dragon mixed with a feline. I winced now knowing which was doing this in this world.

Selena hotomi. A Japanese American woman who loved fantasy. She is the expert of fantasy settings and mythology who when corrupted by the multiversal energy ended up with her dream but a twisted mind was the price. I was hoping that since sonata  now holds a weapon that nullify the energy that turned her into this that we can return her to normal and get answers on where the others are. I already knew where the others are being held. The crystal was the matrix for the pocket dimension. Destroying it will safely return the people trapped inside. That said I was still tense as each member of delta crossend had a bunch of undead footsoldiers. Thanks to the necromancer trio of the group.

I turned to Sonata. "Let's be careful here you handle the feline dragon I'll fight what ever she has as guards. [Dimension Break] should cure her and return her to normal then we can free the others while I can get the locations of the rest of delta crossend" I wispered to her getting a nod. Taking a deep breath we got ready to enter the soon to be battle ground.

Chapter 3

On spotting us it seemed Selena has become hostile. Though using observe on her I found she has taken on the alias fantasia. Considering what I look like currently it was understandable. Flicking my free wrist I hot ready.

"So my target has found me and got a body guard. Interesting~ once I capture you this world will fall" said Selena with a slight rumbling purr. She snapped her claws causing inhumane monsters that barely had human traits appeared and I narrowed my eyes on seeing that they resembled the beings normally found in equestria and similar nations. I didn't see changelings or discord's kind but there was pegasus, unicorn and earth ponies there. One of the pegasus though has a disturbingly familiar rainbow hair and cutie mark.

I clenched my fist in shock and anger plus sorrow.

"So you been to equestria the parallel universe connected to this one and took it over! Guess they put up quite the fight if the main protectors had died fighting you!" I said my tone holding nothing but fury.

Closer look had revealed that four others and a lone dragon was the rest of Twilight's friends though how they managed to get Spike was a mystery.

Selena scoffed in amusement.

"Yes quite annoying we had to substitute five close relatives to complete the seal then revive those who died for not even death can prevent their use" said Selena darkly as she brushed a claw through fluttershy's mane.

"I swear you won't get away with this anymore! Do you realize the damage your doing to the timeline of this world! How you just possibly caused the end of existance! I saw what effects that happen when a world is destroyed! It effects every other world to the point they collide and the result erases them from existance! The balance between world's is there for a reason! And I swear I will hunt down all of you who dare mess with the worlds!" I said getting ready to fight.

Unnoticed my blade started to glow.

"I would like to see you try!" Said Selena ordering her mooks to attack.

[youtube=https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=q-njWwWtkzI]

With that I charged and slashed at the dead monsters that used to be residents of one of my favorite worlds.  To my surprise each slash glowed and sent the undead back twitching before with a flash returned to their original appearence and started to fight with me against the still transformed monsters.

"Whoa that's new" I said kicking a undead as I managed to slash rainbow dash back to her pegasus form until this world made her, her human counterpart in form.

"What's going on!" Asked rainbow shocked.

"No time get back!" I said pushing her behind me and slashed slicing a combined spell sent our way by undead unicorns.

The two halfs of the spell exploded in the air gathering a bunch of the undead together. Time to thin out the enemy some more. I twisted the ignition on my driver and placed my only shift car into the steering sword.

Hisatsu! Full throttle! Speed!

Entering a stance I blurred around the grouped enemies slashing with the ZeroSlash as I'm calling type zero's rider slash move. With that a lot became back to normal and I skidded to a stop as I noticed sonata joined the fight using her sword to the same effect mine did returning the remainder to normal. I ended up stopping next to sonata as we pointed out weapons at Selena.

Said dragon/cat hybrid looked shocked at what happened and growled.

"Just who do you think you are! No one should have been able to reverse the magic and revived them!" Said Selena anger in her tone.

"To you I'm kamen rider drive type zero! Someone on a journey between worlds tasked to fix the balance you destroyed! You have caused enough damage to this world and by the end of today your acts of terror will be finished" I said getting ready.

"I am Sonata Dusk. You took my sisters, and various other people just to ruin this world and while in the process you have managed to piss me off!" Said Sonata with a glare.

"To quote a fellow kamen rider: saa omae no tsumi o kazoero!" I said my voice sounding like it was over lapped when I said it sounding a lot like kamen rider double as I pointed at her.

Together we charged. I ducked a kick and retaliated with a punch and sonata went for a kick herself. Soon enough it got to the point me and Sonata were in complete sync. One of us dodged a attack and the other took advantage of the opening and this continued to the point the three of us were worn out. It was time to end this.

Placing protozero back in the shift brace I twisted the ignition and pressed the red button on my shift brace.

Hisatsu! Was heard and I quickly shifted the lever.

Full throttle! Was then announced as my bike arrived and started moving in a circle arround us as sonata moved back. Tensing my legs I jumped at my moving vehicle rebounding off the tires to land multiple drop kicks on selena. "ZeroDrop!" I declared the technique name ending the fight. With a dual slash with our blades it was over. Selena fell and started to vanish and I lowered my head.

"Shoot her body was corrupted for so long it couldn't hold out with being finally free from the taint" I said and saw the former undead was also fading away. Guess they weren't revived as well. In their place was now the elements of harmony which made sense Twilight's equestria is no more. Turning to the Crystal I slashed destroying it and in a flash of light the missing people and lone princess appeared just as selena finished fading into oblivion.

Sonata rushed to her sisters and I looked up as I heard a chime. The quest box appeared stating I cleared the quest and I checked my reward which was the door gun and shift justice hunter shift car.

Letting my weapons go to storage in my ride I slumped against it and looked down. I didn't feel victorious. A whole dimension was gone! That was why the portal was closed there wasn't anywhere to go. The first to wake up was Twilight and I lifted my head sadly. How was I going to break it to her and sunset their world and everyone they knew was gone. I looked as she walked up curious as I was still in my armor.

"Sonata explained that you helped her save us and figure out where we were" said Twilight and looking behind her I saw the others were up while I was in thought.

"Yeah but that was all I could do. When I arrived the portal to your world was already closed. I don't know how to say it but your world is gone and I barely prevented this one from following it's fate. The elements of harmony over there confirmed it after the battle. Your stuck here" I said sadly making everyone wide eyed.

Sunset hugged Twilight as she collapsed in shock.

Even adagio and Aria held sympathetic looks knowing the feeling of being stuck in a world not their own. Sonata handed me dimension break before sitting next to me.

"I forgot that in all this mess we never did introduce ourselves" said Sonata.

"Right" I said standing and removed protozero before pressing the button on my shift brace dispelling the armor and making the driver call out nice drive.

"My name is james also known as kamen rider drive, multiverse traveler" I said waving to them still holding a sad expression.

"You already know my name and I guess you know everyone else by name since you helped investigate where they were held" said Sonata.

I walked over to the elements of harmony and picked them up before handing them to twilight.

"These are all that's left of equestria and your world. You better keep them safe" I said giving her a look.

"Right" said Twilight hugging them to her.

"James why don't you spend a few days with us and help us take their mind off the subject for a while" said applejack.

"Yeah sure and you three do know that now that equestria is gone the only form of magic you can access is your usual one right but even that will fade. Your pendents were still connected to equestria through the portal but with it now permanently closed your magic with start to fade to the point your ordinary humans. Your singing voices won't be effected" I said having used observe on the sirens pendents and thought they ought to know.

"How do you know this" asked aria.

"A quirk of being a multiversal traveler is that I get general info about the world and important infomation to help blend in. Your pendents were part of that info" I informed.

"Well there went our plan" said Aria with a sigh.

"We better hurry and get you all home its been a few days since you were taken. Your families if you have them must be worried" I said and with that they scattered and I was dragged along by sonata who said I was bunking with her. I just rose a eyebrow in confusion much to the other two siren's amusement.

"What was that about" asked sunset blinking.

"A old tradition of our race that james unknowingly triggered in helping her. The magic in it is tied to the soul so it stays despite normal magic vanishing. In a way james became her soulmate" said adagio with a small giggle.

"It's a process that if a siren is helped out of the true honest goodness of the heart their souls become intertwined. It's how we were born and we don't mind sharing soulmates if they feel a connection. It's kind of why we are sisters in the first place besides sharing a farther" said Aria in explination.

"It was used because there's way too few sirens and now with just us three left we need to reinstate it if we want our race to continue" Finished adagio.

"Well that's interesting and poor james he's in for interesting times on his journey" said sunset.

(End chapter)

Chapter 4

I felt my eye twitch as sunset finally told me why sonata had been acting so off lately. I triggered a tradition of the siren races and that if anything I ended up with quite possibly a wife. Already she was starting to look closer to my age considering sonata has been here for centuries. She kind of looked like this:

Turned out a quirk is that the siren physically becomes the age to the other in this soul bond tradition. And with it came personality changes for the siren. She was still the bubbly energetic siren but now she was mature, not so air headed and had a sense of grace. Still had that Naruto uzumaki fixation level for tacos though. I made sure to stock up on quite a lot of the soft shell taco food because I had issues with hard shell versions. Cut the inside of your mouth with the sharp edges when you bite them seventeen times and you would get that kind of issues too.

She does have her moments of being a ditz but in a still cute way. Rarity had to make her a whole new wardrobe to fit her which I found interesting. Still the colors she wore before but in a different style. I ended up getting a new style as well as since I said I was a detective Rarity made my new outfit to reflect it. I kept my blue and white jacket but now wore a black dress shirt with a red vest and black slacks with red trim. My shoes were replaced by boots which were durable and held a design similar to drive type zero's armor. Next went a identical looking glove to my rift glove but in a similar color scheme to it. To finish the look was a black fedora with a red band on it. No ties though as I didn't know how to put one on.

Sonata now wore a feminine version of my outfit in her colors and had her symbol over her heart on the clothes. I tried not to think of her figure. Adagio and Aria have been teaching me how to best keep a siren calm and how not to piss off sonata. After seeing her fight I knew not to make her mad. It took a bit to resolve the mind control issue over the school and explain what had happened to everyone but since the issue was resolved the dazzlings were not run off. Trixie though still found the two other dazzlings to be good friends for her and I joked to the others maybe they can help her tone down her personality. Seriously referring to your self in the 3rd person and being that loud was not good at all.

To my annoyance Rarity had turned the colors of my jacket to match the outfit of black and red. And placed drive's emblem on the back and the zip up pocket over the area of my heart on it. And of course I still had my drive driver and shift brace.

Though I did get confronted by Twilight when she realized justice hunter had appeared out of thin air with my gun.

In the end I had to explain to everyone the gamer ability I gained. Not surprising pinkie and rainbow were jealous at the ability to treat life like a game but I told them my thoughts on it.

"Sure but I'm not letting this ability change me at my core. I still have to live as if I don't have this ability. All it is to me is that my life just gets interesting but I am still myself. You remember how every gamer acts to progressing the game? How would you feel if that happens all the time for the rest of your life? That way leads to insanity" I said giving them my best glare.

"Okay point it's not fun when others think your a murderer" said Rainbow quickly seeing the reason I said that.

"Considering I'm on a multiversal journey I'm going to be facing quite a lot of stuff similar to when I fought that member of delta crossend. I'm still ashamed I even thought them up in a book I'm writing. How was I to know they would become real! Dang multiverse theory and the application to media!" I said before becoming depressed a bit as shortly after I had been confronted by Twilight I let everyone know how I knew delta crossend and their goals.

"Well your not responsible for their actions sure you thought them up but your not responsible for their actions now" said Twilight.

I had added Sonata to my party but I told her we should start slow and get to know each other before actually going on a date. She ended up getting my gamer ability as a result so now she can join me on my journey. The past few days were spent helping twilight through her grief though flash I had to remind that twilight was usually a actual horse in her world it took me tracking down this world's Twilight in crystal prep to get him to leave Twilight alone. I had fun arresting that principal for going against school conduct and not caring about the abuse she heaped on the students.

I actually gotten a case from this world's shining armor to investigate why his sister seemed to focused on her studies and becoming more and more stressed. Recording what went on in the school and how the principal just wanted to win was enough to land her in prison as it looked like she made a student create a split personality disorder with one side being evil, the result of the abuse, cadence of this world was giving that one therapy so I hoped she was okay. This ended up as a quest that gave me a actually legit detective license and badge. Twilight and her counterpart then met and was very different. From each other. I had to explain what happened to her world and that she had no where to go to her counterparts family. Got awkward when princess Twilight revealed her cadence and shining armor were married. Turned out that hasn't happened yet much to her shock.

Transferring local Twilight to the school wasn't a issue. A lot of crystal prep students got transfered to other schools to recover from the abuse. I did have both Twilight's keep a eye on the local starlight glimmer though I don't want her becoming like her pony counterpart.

With that I was just getting ready to leave the universe with sonata and I waved to the group I honestly could call friends.

This time I opened a rift instead of just flashing my body out. The two of us entered the bike and drove off into the rift which closed after we left. A sub routine I placed in my glove locking the dimension from invaders.
