Surprise Drive

"Kamen Rider Drive?" Twilight inquired, her eyes piercing Choukichi's armor and making him feel anxiety.

"Well you see I'm an armored warrior who-" Choukichi was cut off by Rainbow Dash's hard hoof slamming into his face, although he didn't really feel any pain.

"Armored warrior WHO WORKS WITH THOSE MONSTERS?!" Rainbow Dash glared at Choukichi, her nostrils flaring in disgust.

"W-w-well you see..." Choukichi tripped backwards and looked up at the menacing pegasus, he opened his mouth but could only stammer in fear as she inched towards him closer.

"I told you guys that he works for them, look, he KNOWS he's in the wrong but just can't admit it!" Rainbow Dash's eyes widened in pure rage as she started inching towards Choukichi faster, intent on harming him.

"N-n-n-n-o d-don't..." Choukichi noticed a red Shift Car in his holder, Type Speed! "This is my only chance to get away from her..."

"Ci-ciao!" Choukichi leaped up with great strength behind the Mane Six and took out the Tridoron Key out of the Mach Driver, replacing it with the Shift Speed car!

"SHIFT CAR! TIRE KOUKAN: HAYAI!"

Choukichi glowed a deep red briefly before speeding away into a nearby forest, blowing past a tree that shortly after fell down with a great thud.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Rainbow Dash sneered in annoyance and stretched her wings before wildly taking off towards the Everfree Forest, the same area where Choukichi ran off into.

The rest of the Mane Six looked off in the distance, speechless.

"What in tarnation just happened?" Applejack's eyes were completely frozen as she recalled the events that had just occurred in front of her.

"I don't know, but all I know that his armor was simply...EGH!" Rarity remembered the red and black suit of armor that the figure wore and reeled back in disgust at it's design. "It's as if you took two stunning dresses and combined them into a MESS!"

...

Choukichi looked off into the distance, completely silent as he zoomed through the mystical forest, observing the cartoony animals and unusually colored trees.

"What the hell just happened?" He looked back and sighed in relief, that crazy pegasus wasn't after him, he was about to stop until...

"I GOT YOU NOW!" He looked behind him, terror striking him like a freight train as he saw Rainbow Dash gaining on him.

"Oh god she's catching up what do I do?!" Choukichi looked down at his Mach Driver and remembered...

"Oh yeah, how could I forget?!" He slammed down on the big white button atop the Mach Driver once, prompting an announcement from it!

"TOTEMO, HAYAI!"

Rainbow Dash looked on in awe as the figure's speed increased, she was starting to fall behind! "Oh, HAY NO!" She gritted her teeth in irritation as she sped up, starting to catch up to him once more.

"Oh god no!" Choukichi tried to run faster but he was at his limit! "Wait, what if..." He looked down at the Mach Driver and hit the button again, this time four times in succession.

"BURST: TOTEMO, HAYAI!"

Choukichi felt a surge of energy flood him as his armor glowed a magma red, his speed increasing dramatically and a red portion of his helmet breaking off, revealing a smooth silver interior. A bit of smoke could be seen flowing out of the armor as well.

"WHAT THE HAY?!" Rainbow Dash barely managed to dodge the rogue piece of metal in shock, before feeling a boiling rage brew within her, someone was exceeding her in speed, and she could NOT have that!

"Holy crap, Chou Deadheat is so COO-" Choukichi suddenly felt his body spaz out and lost control of his body, crashing into a nearby tree, obliterating it while tripping himself up and canceling his transformation due to the sheer pain.

"Ugh..." The black-haired teen stood up slowly, his body exhausted. "What...was that? Chou Deadheat never did that in the movie." He looked down at his Mach Driver, which seemed perfectly fine, and at the powdery remnants of the tree had had crashed into. "Gomensai, Tree-kun..."

"YOU'RE DEAD!" Choukichi looked up, Rainbow Dash zooming at him like a flying angry bull.

"This is where my story ends..."

"NOOOOO-" Choukichi felt a fast force hit him before blacking out...

...

Choukichi awoke, his body aching from the events that had just conspired. He sat up and bounced around a little, he almost yelped in surprise but looked down to find he was in a bed with fluffy green covers and a brown wooden frame. Looking down at his waist, he realized that his Mach Driver was missing, along with his Shift Car holder, and bag of miscellaneous Shift Cars & Signal Bikes. Observing his surroundings, he felt his stomach drop as he realized where he was: no technology, no Kamen Rider belts in sight, not even a lamp! He wasn't in his room, this wasn't a dream!

"Ohh....no no no." He whispered under the covers, minding his volume carefully. "This isn't California at all, this is some room where those things torture people like me..." His eyes watered in sorrow and anxiety, what would he do?

His ears perked up, he could hear feminine voices below him. Getting out from under the covers, he saw a staircase in front of him, and pondered whether he should go down or not. "Well, if I'm going to die being tortured by ponies, I might as well go and meet my kidnappers..." He sighed in defeat and slowly got out of bed, making his way to the doorway with the staircase.

"I wonder what I'll do once I get down there..." He shrugged, not realizing he shouldn't be doing something potentially dangerous without a plan. "Eh, I'll wing it."

Suddenly, he heard what sounded like trotting up the stairs, and he swiftly jumped into the bed and pretended to be asleep. "Please God, have mercy on me and let this work..."

He stealth-fully pried his eyelids open, barely, to see who was coming into the room, and saw something he never thought he would see. In awe, he observed a cream-colored pony with wings walk into the room slowly, noting that it was clearly a female, and it seemed to have a tramp stamp consisting of pink butterflies.

"If I die surrounded by horses like this..., he shivered at the thought and continued to secretly watch her, scared. She didn't seem to notice that he was awake, prompting her to walk back downstairs.

Choukichi's ears perked up, sensing a barely audible whisper, "It seems the poor thing is sleeping...we should...scroll... to Celestia."

"Whatever this 'Celestia' is, doesn't sound good..." He felt his stomach turn into a knot, what was going happen to him? Suddenly, he heard hoofsteps go up the stairs, into the room...

...

The bright sky glowed as a floating number saying "029" glided towards an abandoned farm near the Everfree Forest. "That damn Kamen Rider..." The core of Roidmude 029 muttered angrily, remembering the exact moment where Chou defeated him, Rider Punching his old body into oblivion.

"Looks like I need to power up a little..."

The core made its way into a discolored, warped barn. "Heart, I could use your help right now!" The core shouted, a little impatient.

A human walked out of the shadows, he donned a red leather jacket with grey fur on the neck of it. His left ear was pierced and he had black hair that hung to his right, and wore fancy black pants and a pair of black shoes.

"What can I do for you, my friend?" Heart inquired, looking at the small core before him.

"Some kid calling himself Kamen Rider Drive destroyed my body, I'll need a Cobra Viral Core from you!" The core nudged Heart's profound face rapidly, wanting to complete his mission.

Heart slowly held up a Cobra Viral Core, and 029 entered it, the Cobra Viral Core floating away from Heart before 029 emerged in his Roidmude body.

"Kamen...Rider?" Heart's eyes glowed a deep crimson, before slowly fading back to their regular color.

...

Chou watched as six ponies entered the room. One of them was the scary cyan pegasus from before, he tried his best to ignore her. Another one was an orange pony with a cowboy hat, the third he noticed was an admittedly stunning, white unicorn with gorgeous purple hair. His eyes landed on a bright pink pony, who had poofy hair and seemed to be a little giddy. Scrolling his eyes to the right, he saw the cream colored pegasus that had entered his room a few minutes earlier, and finally, a lavender unicorn with a dark purple mane that had a pink streak in it.

"Please take me now, God..." Chou thought to himself, afraid of whatever they were going to do to him.

Twilight Sparkle observed the human, clearly seeing it was awake and pretending to be asleep. She rolled her eyes, trying not to giggle, and her horn lit up, levitating the bag of Shift Cars and Signal Bikes to her. "What are these anyways?..."

"AND THIS THINGY!!!!" Pinkie Pie quickly bounced over to the Mach Driver that was rested on a chair and picked it up, inspecting it all around.

Choukichi hopped up to the right side of the room in surprise, he never knew a pony could be so...energetic. The Mane Six in return got into various positions.

Rainbow Dash and Applejack got into defensive stances, ready for a brawl. Twilight and Rarity lit up their horns, ready to attack, but he noted they were just slightly hesitant about it. Pinkie Pie watched, eating popcorn on a chair, and Fluttershy hid behind everyone.

"What do I do now?..." Choukichi eyed the Mach Driver and the bag of miscellaneous Shift Cars and Signal Bikes.

"I know..."

"So can I have those back or-?" Chou was cut off by Rainbow Dash and Applejack charging him, barely dodging the assault. "Calm down please!" He squealed, clearly failing to attain his calm demeanor.

"Hay no!" Applejack attempted to kick Chou but he swiftly dodged by sidestepping.

"Wow I'm so athletic now!" Choukichi jumped up happily but was knocked back by Applejack bucking him into a wall.

"Ow...ow...ow.."

He was about to dodge another attack but a tiny baby dragon entered the room, panicking. "THAT SAME MONSTER FROM YESTERDAY IS ATTACKING EVERYPONY BACK AT PONYVILLE- what's that thing?" He raised his claw, pointing towards Chou and tilting his head.

"The Roidmude is attacking?!" Chou stumbled past Applejack and Rainbow Dash, snatching his Mach Driver. He was about to make the move to get his Shift Cars and Signal Bikes back, but was frozen in place by a purple beam of energy!

"Not so fast!" Twilight Sparkle walked up to the now terrified teen, holding him in place with her magic. "You seem to know what's going on don't you?" She asked, raising an eyebrow.

Choukichi looked at her, he would have to spill the beans about the Roidmudes. "Yes, I do, but that can wait later, please let me go destroy that Roidmude again before it's too late!" Chou attempted to break out of his magic prison, but found he couldn't move a muscle.

Twilight looked at him with a calculating stare, could she trust this creature?

"Hmm, fine, but you're coming with us just in case! Come on girls!" Twilight quickly followed Spike, along with the others, as she levitated Chou next to her.

...

"I saw it grab a pony and copy their appearance! It also grabbed another pony and turned them red, and they fell asleep!" Spike explained, anxious.

"This...isn't good." Choukichi remembered why the Roidmudes copied people's appearances. He had to stop 029 now!

They made it to Ponyville and witnessed 029 wrecking various housing, before it turned to a herd of fleeing ponies carrying their foals. 029 snickered in delight and unleashed a red wave that slowed everyone down!

"It's that horrible power again!" Rarity said, tripping and falling to the ground, "AH, DIRT!".

Choukichi was suddenly able to move, and realized the Tridoron Key was in his pocket. "Thank God!". He grabbed the bag and looked at the ponies, "Even though two of them tried to murder me, I might as well help them!". He reached into the bag and pulled out seven Shift Cars.

"Amazing Circus, Burning Solar, Fire Braver, Road Winter, Colorful Commercial, Dimension Cab, and...Dream Vegas!" The seven Shift Cars flew to the Mane Six and Spike, suddenly, they could move again! "What in the hay?!" Applejack felt the rush of her body being able to move again and fell down in shock.

"Come on: Flare, Spike, Shadow!" Choukichi held up the Shift Car holder, and the three Shift Cars went into the holder, which was promptly attached to Chou's hip. "I'm not even using Type Tridoron..." He face-palmed and walked up to 029.

"It's you, Kamen Rider!" 029 looked at him in rage, ready to kill Choukichi.

"Y-yes, it's me..." Choukichi whispered quietly, realizing he was up against a Roidmude who was ready to evolve at any second. He looked to 029's right and saw two ponies on the ground, one red and still, the other withering in pain. "You...put one of these innocent ponies into your comas?" Choukichi slowly looked up in fear.

"Yes, and I copied the other one's appearance so I can....EVOLVE!" 029 roared and unleashed a purple aura, his body started to become covered in purple particles and changing it's shape!

"Oh god he's evolving!" Choukichi swiftly took out his Tridoron Key and lifted up the Signal Landing Panel on his Mach Driver, sliding the Tridoron Key into the Driver!

"Henshin..." Choukichi muttered, as he slammed down on the Signal Landing Panel to activate his transformation.

"SIGNAL BIKE, SHIFT CAR! RIDER: CHOU DEADHEAT!"

A guitar riff played and Choukichi's armor materialized over him!

By the time Choukichi had transformed, 029 had finished evolving! The purple particles dissipated to reveal his new body.

The new body of 029 looked quite metallic, the dominant color of the entire body being an eggplant purple. His chest was a light yellow and there were red markings on his new face, as well as the fact that his arms were now much bigger, metallic, and in general more menacing!

"You can call me Iron Roidmude now that I've evolved by copying that waste of life next to me!" Iron Roidmude proclaimed, laughing to himself loudly.

"Oh that is it..." Choukichi's eyes became serious for once in his life, and he ran at the Iron Roidmude!

...

Iron Roidmude stretched out his arms and slammed his fists into Choukichi's face, landing a vicious hook from a distance and knocking him back! Choukichi got up and charged Iron, slamming the palms of his hands into the chest of the cybernetic creature and throwing him near the wall of a house. Looking around, Iron got up and jumped up onto the wall, climbing up the house and watched as Choukichi ran towards him. Using the oppurtunity, he bulked him his arms, powering up his fists as well.

"I forgot he could do that!" Chou finally made it up onto the top of the house and engaged Iron, but found himself outmatched by Iron's new arms. "He got strong..." Choukichi said as he was beat back with a simple punch to the abdomen.

"I need to switch it up!" Choukichi took out Funky Spike, the neon green Shift Car in his holder, and replaced the Tridoron Key with it!

"SHIFT CAR! TIRE KOUKAN: SASARU!"

Choukichi kept his distance as he shot small, yet deadly spikes at Iron, who was getting hit by the spiky projectiles and was eventually knocked off of the hay house he was on.

"Curse him..." Iron looked up and was shot by more tiny spikes as Choukichi came down from the house! Thinking fast, he revved up his legs and sped up dramatically, charging Choukichi and overwhelming him with his speed, landing in quick yet rapid hits!

Choukichi jumped up and shot ahead of the direction where Iron was running, tripping him up and catching him off guard! "Looks like Shadow is up next!" Chou was curious of what it was like to clone oneself.

He took out Midnight Shadow and replaced Funky Spike in his Mach Driver with it.

SHIFT CAR! TIRE KOUKAN: SHINOBI!

Chou pressed the Boost Igniter on his Mach Driver. IMASUGU, SHINOBI!

Looking to his left and right, he saw two new clones of himself, ready for battle! They charged Iron, throwing purple energy shurikens at him and knocking him to the ground, before Chou himself charged him alongside his two other clones easily overwhelming Iron and knocking him back further!

"Time to finish this!"

He lifted the Signal Landing Panel, pressed the Boost Igniter, and set the Signal Landing Panel back into place.

"HISSATSU! FULL THROTTLE: SHINOBI!"

Once more, Chou's armor glowed a magma red as he and his clones jumped up and rocketed towards Iron, their feet ready for impact!

Chou's clones connected their feet, glowing with a mixture of purple and crimson energy, with Iron's abdomen, heavily wounding him! Iron looked up in shock as Chou's clones faded back into the original Chou, who was rocketing towards him with his foot extended, wildly glowing a mixture of purple and crimson!

"I WILL FIGHT TO PROTECT!"

"Can I make up my own finishing quotes?"

Chou's right foot made contact with Iron's face, who in turn was knocked back a great distance! "Just wait until you fight Heart..." Iron chuckled as he fell to the ground, his purple metallic body exploding and a floating number that depicted "029" floating out of the explosion, before the number itself exploded.

The Mane Six and Spike looked on, their eyes wide, and their mouths gaping wide open in complete and utter shock.

Turning to them, Choukichi took out Midnight Shadow.

"Otsukare!" The Mach Driver boomed, canceling Chou's transformation, the black haired teen back to normal.

"Are you guys ok?" Choukichi waved his hands in front of the shocked ponies and dragon for a few seconds, before tilting his head in confusion. "Guys?"

Twilight shook her head for a few seconds and looked up at Choukichi, she tried to open her mouth and say something, but was interrupted by a voice from the sky.

"My my, what an entertaining battle!..."

A golden carriage being flown by two armored, grey pegasi landed onto the ground next to the group, in the seat of the open carriage, was a giant white Alicorn with flowing rainbow hair, a giant white horn, and white wings.

"This is where my story ends..." Choukichi nervously muttered, backing up in fear at the sight of the giant Alicorn, as she walked out of the carriage.
