Surprise Drive
Who are the Roidmudes?
Previous ChapterNext ChapterChoukichi shook, his teeth chattering in fear as the white Alicorn approached him, towering over the boy. He had never experienced such feelings in his life, and cursed at himself in his mind for feeling those emotions over a pony walking up to him, God knows what would happen if he were to even be asked a question by the royal creature.
Taking in her appearance, she had a flowing rainbow mane, a Cutie Mark depicting a sun, a long white horn AND large white wings. On her head was a golden tiara with a purple gem in the middle, similar to the necklace found on her body. Her hooves were covered by two pairs of smaller, golden heels.
Looking up, he stared back at the Alicorn, who was smiling down at him. "Hello, I am Princ-".
"AHHHHH, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Choukichi quickly inserted the Tridoron Key into his Mach Driver, assuming Chou Deadheat, and then he proceeded to replace it with the Shift Speed Shift Car.
"SHIFT CAR! TIRE KOUKAN: HAYAI!"
"Ugh, not this again!" Rainbow Dash slammed her hoof into her face, greatly annoyed.
Turning around, he quickly zoomed towards any direction away from the Alicorn. However, as quick as he had started to run, he found himself caught in some magical hold, a pink aura surrounded his body and he couldn't move. He screamed in panic as the Alicorn, her horn now also glowing a light pink, levitated him towards her.
"Calm down, young one." Celestia chuckled, gently putting him down on the ground. Choukichi was about to run away again but he turned around to see Rainbow Dash behind him, glaring at him. Sighing, he canceled his transformation.
"Lets discuss these matters elsewhere, shall we?"
...
In the abandoned farm, Heart sat silently, pondering about the Kamen Rider. "So, there's a new Drive out there? I didn't think Tomari Shinnosuke would be here too...". He grinned pleasantly, he could finally live out that battle he wanted to have with Drive before he died.
"Heart!"
In the doorway of the barn, was Brain. He had a light brown bowl-cut, stylish white glasses, and wore a green jacket with a white undershirt.
"Ah, Brain." Heart walked up to his comrade and patted his back.
"Heart, Roidmude 029 has been eliminated by Drive..." Brain sighed, he thought they would of been able to go through with their plans without interference this time.
Heart's face briefly contorted in rage, his eyes glowing a deep crimson before he returned to his calm demeanor. "We made a mistake sending 029, if he evolved before he was destroyed by Drive, he would of been very weak compared to the older Advanced Roidmudes..." He sighed, feeling guilt, he should of tried to keep his friend here.
Brain donned a sinister grin, "Why don't we send a stronger Roidmude out there this time then?", he couldn't care less about the lives of the Roidmudes unlike Heart, they were more pawns than comrades or friends!
"How about I go?..."
An obscured figure walked out from the corner of the barn, the only physical feature to be seen was his head, a black skull.
"Go ahead, Phantom..."
...
In the Ponyville Library, was a teenage boy doing his best to hold back the vomit trying to escape from his body as Celestia introduced herself to him.
"I am Princess Celestia, I rule this land known as Equestria alongside my younger sister, Princess Luna..." Celestia trotted over to him as she continued to speak. "A few days ago, those strange creatures began to attack our land, so far only a single city has been significantly ruined by their wrath. I would be able to fight them without much trouble if it weren't for the fact that they can slow down time."
Celestia stopped in front of the boy and looked down at him, "However, you were able to defeat that Roidmude with relative ease, even after it powered up, how were you able to accomplish such a feat?" She inquired, shooting him a calculative, interested look.
Choukichi could of said many things, like that he could transform into an armored hero to fight them on even terms, that he had miniature toy cars that could negate the effects of Slowdown, but instead...
"BLEUGH!" He ran to a nearby trashcan and released bile from his mouth for around a minute.
Rarity fainted, Pinkie Pie stared in awe, Twilight simply started at Choukichi, an expression of worry glued to her face, Rainbow Dash started laughing her flank off, and Applejack just turned around. Celestia on the other hand was mildly confused. "I've never had someone purge while talking to me."
"W-w-w-well you know, you're royalty and all." Choukichi wiped his mouth and bowed, "I'm so sorry...".
He looked back up, "To answer your question, I'm able to fight the Roidmudes because...um, just watch."
Choukichi held up his Mach Driver and smacked it against his body, the belt strap wrapping around him instantly. Putting his hand into his pocket, he searched for his Tridoron Key, pulled it out, and lifted the panel on his driver.
"Henshin!"
He inserted the Tridoron Key into his Mach Driver and slammed down on the panel.
"SIGNAL BIKE, SHIFT CAR! RIDER: CHOU DEADHEAT!"
Choukichi's armor materialized on him. "This is how I'm able to defeat them!"
Celestia looked down at the teenager in shock. "I see, that's the form you used during your...episode." She giggled before continuing, "Do you know anything about those creatures that have been attacking us?"
Choukichi canceled his transformation and looked up at her, "W-well, a lot.", he gulped, afraid of the possibility of her getting suspicious and throwing him into some dungeon for all eternity. Instead, she inquired further, "Could you explain all that you know about them?".
"It's going to be a lot, but...I'll try to make it as easy to understand as possible..." Choukichi nodded before continuing, "Years ago, two scientists with advanced technology created the Roidmudes, cybernetic beings who were supposed to bring peace to the world! But, one of the scientists had evil intentions for the Roidmudes, and he corrupted them, which resulted in them wanting to take over the world by slowing down time to a crawl across it, also known as a Global Freeze!" The ponies' eyes widened in fear, and they continued to listen.
"Although it only affected a quarter of the world when they did it." The ponies' eyes softened marginally.
"When they slow down time, it is called Heavy Acceleration, in case you were wondering."
"As for the Roidmudes themselves, there are three types: Cobra, Spider, Bat, and...Human." The boy held back tears as he remembered Chase, Twilight noted his sorrow as he continued, "Cobra-Type Roidmudes are physically stronger, Spider-Type Roidmudes can subdue targets with webs, and Bat-Type Roidmudes can fly. They can also evolve to power up further, which can be achieved by copying physical traits of people, but apparently they can do this to you ponies too..." Choukichi remembered how 029 evolved, the pony that had been copied was in Ponyville Hospital for her injuries.
"What about Human-Type Roidmudes?" Twilight asked, using her horn to jot down notes with a quill. "Well, there was only one and...let's just say that they have a lot of power and are quite friendly." Choukichi looked up, his face gloomy.
He continued, "After becoming Advanced Roidmudes via evolving, they can empower themselves with key emotions such as envy, joy, and devotion. Once they absorb a lot of these emotions, they can evolve again, into their Super Evolutions, in which they power up once again and gain more abilities..." He was looking down, but he knew that the Mane Six, Spike, and Celestia had fearful expressions on their faces.
"If you thought that was bad, wait u-until you h-hear this. If four Super Evolved Roidmudes combine their powers, they can trigger a permanent Global Freeze that is truly worldwide, and can actually FREEZE time rather than slow it down." Celestia eyes took on a serious form, she know knew one of her objectives for the Roidmudes, to prevent any Global Freezes from happening.
"One of the scientists who created the Roidmudes was killed, but he backed up his body as a mass of data, which was stored into a belt like mine. A heroic detective would later use the belt to fight against the Roidmudes, along with two other armored warriors, later the corrupt scientist who basically ruined the Roidmudes would show up in a powerful new form, but he was defeated alongside the last few Roidmudes."
"IMPOSSIBLE! HOW COULD SOMEONE CONTINUE TO LIVE ON AS DATA, THAT'S SCIENTIFICALLY IMPOSSIBLE!!" Twilight screamed, shocked at the revelation. "Well, he was smart and came from a world with advanced technology."
Spike listened to Choukichi's story intently, he was really into this! He wanted to fight the Roidmudes too. "Oh, these are Shift Cars and Signal Bikes" He held up the miniature vehicles, "These allow people to move freely in Heavy Acceleration, it was how you guys were able to move when that Roidmude activated it."
"That's basically it." Choukichi backed away, nervous.
"I see, thank you for that valuable information, child." Celestia looked down at the boy, smiling, prompting him to barely back away further.
"For now, I'll need you to keep fighting the Roidmudes as..."
"Kamen Rider Drive, Princess."
Author's Note
Oh man, it's been a while. Sorry if this chapter wasn't as good as last time, I've been going through a lot of stress lately with my home life and school. I'm planning on adding my own original Roidmudes, including some commanders. I might even have 006 pop up with an Advanced Evolution and Super Evolution, who knows.
As for the original Advanced Roidmudes, I think later on when Choukichi (and when more Riders appear) becomes stronger, they'll attack in groups, Iron Roidmude was a special exception, as are the commander Roidmudes such as Heart and Brain.
Until next time! Next chapter the Phantom Roidmude will attack.
