Chapters What is my Motivation to Fight?
"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.
Choukichi 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.
Who is the Armored Warrior?
"Holy crap, Chou Deadheat is so awesome!"
Choukichi Jackson looked at his monitor in awe, he was watching Kamen Rider Drive: Surprise Future ,
He watched as Drive activated the Dead Zone, a technique in which he overclocks his body, gaining a huge power boost and emitting steam from his body.
"This. Is. Amazing!" Choukichi threw fake punches at his monitor, one of them accidentally connecting with his huge monitor. "Baka..." Choukichi slapped his forehead in idiocy and paused the episode, the monitor's screen was slightly indented but otherwise fine.
"Gomenasai, Monitor-sama..." Choukichi patted the top of the monitor and gave it an apologetic look, not realizing his Japanese was completely incorrect. Behind the monitor, he saw his DX Mach Driver and Tridoron Key. "Oh hey, I found you two, it only took a week!" Choukichi said, a bit upset with himself for not finding his toys in such an easy spot.
He held the Driver and Tridoron Key in his hands. "Man, it would be so cool if I could actually transform with these, too bad this is real life!" Choukichi chuckled, and put the toys down on his desk.
"That's odd, I'm having a weird feeling, as if I'm forgetting something importaaaan- OH JESUS CHRIST!" Choukichi looked at the clock in his PC, it was 2:30 PM, and he was late for preparing to go to a Kamen Rider convention a mile away from his house!
After showering for a few minutes, Choukichi donned his handcrafted Chou Deadheat Drive suit, which somehow he had the common sense to make. "Man, this sucks..." Choukichi looked down sadly, one of the parts of the helmet popped out of place from this movement. "Agh, baka!" He popped it back into position, and put on the Mach Driver, the Tridoron Key already inserted.
"Alright, to the convention!" He ran outside and hopped onto his bike, zooming towards the building where the convention was being held.
Surprisingly, he made it on time.
"Wow, I'm a minute early!" Choukichi happily kicked upwards, hitting a stray bird. "Oh..." He looked down at the bird, its neck contorted in different directions.
Choukichi awkwardly put his bike in the bike rack set up at the front of the giant building and turned towards the door in excitement. "This, is going to be excellent!"
As soon as he walked in, he was overwhelmed by everything. The amount of people scared him, as there were a ton of them! Everyone had their own costumes, dressed up as Riders or various Kaijin. Everything was beautifully decorated with Rider-themed decorations. "I don't know whether to be afraid or happy..." Choukichi carefully made his way through the crowd, a little spooked.
"Maybe I can buy something!" Choukichi looked at his wallet, he had fifty dollars on hand. "I do want a few Shift Cars and Signal Bikes..."
He looked around, and saw a nearby merchant selling Drive merchandise. "Perfect!" Choukichi made his way to the stand, which was being run by a beautiful lady with blonde hair.
"Hey there, want to buy something?" She said, smiling.
Choukichi stared in her blue eyes blankly for a few seconds, entranced by her appearance.
"Uh, d-do you h-h-have any S-s-shift Cars or Signal B-b-bikes?" He asked, hiding his face.
"Yes ma'am..." He squeaked.
"The Shift Cars individually are two dollars, same with the Signal Bikes!" She cooed.
"Hmm, I'll buy the holder and these..." Choukichi took out Max Flare, Midnight Shadow, Funky Spike, Shift Speed Prototype, Mad Doctor, and-" He was cut off by the woman handing him the entire bag full of the little toys and the holder.
"Just take all of them, and to sweeten the deal..." She rubbed his shoulders and smiled, "I'll cut the price in half, 25 dollars is your total!"
"Oh wait, I forgot Max Flare..." He walked to the stand again and picked up the orange Shift Car, admiring the vibrant orange color. "Eh, why not?" Choukichi put on the holder.
Looking in the bag, he took out: Max Flare, Midnight Shadow, and Funky Spike. He put them in the holder, the toys snug in their slots. "Perfect, too bad these don't actually work and are just toys..." He sighed, and started walking away.
Choukichi felt a cold presence and was frozen in place. He tried to scream, but failed...
The woman that gave him the toys popped up in front of him, her eyes glowing a deep purple. "I can make them real, for you..." She cooed, emitting a shadowy aura out of her hands and waving them over his face, knocking him out...
"C'mon Applejack!" Rainbow Dash shouted, flying towards the center of Ponyville.
"I'm coming partner!" Applejack huffed, running as fast as she could!
"Ugh, another one of those darn critters!"
They zoomed past rubble and ponies flying around in chaos, finding Twilight and Rarity already engaged in battle with an odd-looking machine, it had a red neck, a skull for a head, scales on its legs, and an emblem that read "084" on its chest. They shot magical blasts at it, but it simply held out its fingers, which were shaped like barrels for a gun, and it shot back, deflecting the energy blasts!
Twilight barely managed to conjure up an energy shield in time, blocking the blasts, but one of them broke through and hit Rarity in the leg! "RARITY!" Spike cried in anger, running up to her and looking at her in pain, but angrily turning towards the monster and shooting out a blast of fire from his mouth, which did knock it back a bit.
"Hmph, not good enough!" The machine charged and grabbed the baby dragon by the neck. Spike's skin and scales started to turn a bright crimson slowly, he fainted and was thrown next to Rarity once he was completely colored in a crimson hue.
She covered him in the dome as well and managed to give him a quill and paper. "We need help, send a message to Cele-"
"HENSHIN!" A voice boomed, the ponies and machine turned to identify it, but witnessed a bright red figure emitting smoke running towards them, hiding whoever they were.
"SIGNAL BIKE, SHIFT CAR! RIDER: CHOU DEADHEAT!"
After a guitar riff played, the figure charged the machine and punched it in the face, knocking it into a nearby building with incredible force. The Mane Six looked on in surprise at the appearance of the figure, before realizing that they were back to normal and could move around normally.
Red was the most dominant color and it was apparent the figure was wearing a suit of armor. The armor looked smooth yet bulky, and there were hints of black in there. Two pipes were wrapped around the neck part of the armor. Across the waist was a blue belt, with a flat piece of black plastic in it. The belt itself had a black buckle and was blue. The helmet of the armor had bug eyes that seemed to be made of some type of textured glass. On its leg, was a holder of some sorts that had three colored objects on it.
"Roidmude 029, he hasn't evolved yet?..." The figure whispered, confused. Twilight's ears perked up in curiosity.
The humanoid figure turned to the ponies and quietly said, "Um...". The voice sounded was young, masculine, yet indicated a hint of shyness.
Clearly, it didn't have anything to say.
The figure turned back and saw 029 charging at him, furiously. It simply blocked its onslaught of punches and slammed it's palm into the chest of 029 before shoving him anyway, but was caught off guard by 029's finger guns and was blasted back into a building.
"What the?..." The armored figure looked into a small piece of glass that was next to where he got knocked back into, and noticed something peculiar about his armor...
"I thought it was supposed to be more rugged, black, and have metal in the right side of the helmet!" The figure rubbed its hands around the helmet.
"Weird!"
It looked back towards 029 and charged, deflecting any finger blasts with its hands and punched him away.
"SHIFT CAR! TIRE KOUKAN: MOERL!"
The armored figure focused for a few seconds and shot out a small fireball at 029, who was blown back and experienced great pain as sparks flew off of its chest.
"I think I should finish this now...."
The figure took out the orange piece of plastic and inserted the black piece of plastic back into his belt. He pushed up on the belt, revealing a small panel which held the black piece of plastic, pressed a big white button on top of the belt, and pushed the panel back down.
"HISSATSU! FULL THROTTLE: CHOU DEADHEAT! "
"Shouldn't it have said Burst Full Throttle?"
The armored figure's armor glowed a bright red as he charged towards 029 and punched him in the chest and knocking him back.
"I WILL...RETURN!!!"
029's machine body exploded, with silver numbers that depicted "029" floating away from the explosion.
The ponies and armored warrior stood silent for a few seconds, before Twilight walked up to him...
The armored figure took out the black plastic out of his belt and turned to her, his armor disappearing. The being was masculine and resembled some kind of mature, evolved chimp, but no fur or tail. He wore a blue robe, grey shirt, and black pajamas. He backed away slightly, his eyes slightly widening in anxiety and fear at the sight of the ponies in front of him.
"M-my name is Choukichi Jackson..." He whispered, "But you can also c-call me...Kamen Rider Drive."
It's been a while, hasn't it?
I just wanted to let anyone who's itching for an update know that I've been going through a good deal of things for the past few months and that this story will come back by late December, right now I'm busy with finals. c;
Also, all the chapters will be rewritten, recently I have learned a few tricks for writing.
Ciao.
