Be Careful What You Wish For
"Why do we have to be here again?" Bobby moaned.
"Because, as Kamen Riders Fourze and Meteor, we command the stars and transient celestial bodies respectively, and according to the other world leaders that means we attend," Jack told his brother. They were currently in the Crystal Empire to attend a summit of the leaders of leaders from all over Equis, and weren't exactly happy they had to attend.
"You know, I have a meteor shower scheduled for next week, I bet they'd let me out of it if I said I needed to do some fine tuning."
"Do you?"
"...maybe?"
"Then you're attending."
"Maybe they'll let me go if I drop a comet on their cities," Bobby grumbled.
Jack just chuckled, knowing that Bobby was just kidding, as Shutter squirmed in his grip.
"You said I could explore, last time we were here it was all blown up."
Jack sighed, "Fine, just promise you'll meet up with us after?"
"I will, see ya later."
Bobby sighed, "I still don't get how you manage to keep track of all those spirits, let alone get them to listen to you. It took me weeks just to get those meteors on anything resembling a proper course."
"It's a gift," Jack said as they approached a rather nervous looking Twilight.
"Jack, Bobby, good to see you here. There's so much to do before the summit. We need to work on our speeches, and go through the schedule, and..." Before she could continue, Jack clapped his hands in front of her face, snapping her out of it. "Thanks for that."
"No problem, although I wonder who thought it was a good idea to invite someone who's only been a princess for a week?"
"The same guys who invited us?" Bobby asked.
Jack frowned, "It bothers me that I am unable to refute that."
Bobby just chuckled as they walked into the palace, where the other Princesses were waiting.
"Welcome all," said Celestia, "I trust that you had a pleasant trip?"
"Yes, or at least I did," Twilight said, "how did you two get here? I didn't see you on the train."
"We drove," Jack said, "that reminds me, we need to find a place to set up some Gates if you don't mind."
"That can be arranged," said Cadance.
"Thank you kindly," Jack replied.
"Anyway," Celestia interjected, "it's late, and the summit isn't for 2 days, why don't you get some sleep."
"Sounds good to me," Bobby said before turning to a guard, "Lead me to my room."
Jack was in his room reading when he heard a commotion outside.
"If this is Bobby, I'm going to smack him so hard he won't need my help to see stars," Jack said as he grabbed his Driver and entered the hall. What he saw was pandemonium, a Unicorn Mare was being chased by Twilight, a couple of guards, and Bobby with his trusty fishing pole.
"Do I want to know what's going on?"
"Somepony got the smart idea to try to steal the Element of Magic," Bobby said as he cast his line to catch the intruder's saddle bag, "emphasis on try."
However, before the hook could reach, a tendril of pure darkness shot out of a nearby shadow and cut the line. As the intruder sped off, a Zodiarts that resembled a large black bird stepped out of the shadow and blocked their way.
"Well, looks like our little thief has an accompless," Bobby said as he slid his fishing pole into his backpack.
"I am Corvus, and I'd prefer if you left my friend to her business."
"Not gonna happen, as I'm sure you can tell," Bobby said as he pulled out his Driver, "Corvus is crow right?"
"Or raven," Jack said as he pulled out his own, "which considering she's a thief is more appropriate."
"I am no simple thief."
"We know, that's why we're taking you down."
Meteor, Ready?
3!
2!
1!
"Henshin!"
"Who the heck are you?" Corvus asked.
"Kamen Rider Meteor, we shall decide your fate."
"Kamen Rider Fourze, now let's settle this 2 on 1."
With a wave of her hand, Corvus launched a swarm of razor sharp feathers at them. Fourze and Meteor ducked behind an archway to avoid the attacks.
"Looks like she's got a bit of a temper huh?" Bobby said.
"Shut up, let's take her down."
Gatling, On!
Mars, Ready! Ok, Mars!
As Fourze and Meteor launched a swarm of bullets and flames at Corvus, she dodged by ducking into a shadow.
"That's totally cheating," Meteor said before Corvus shot another storm of feathers from within the shadow.
"I've got an idea," Fourze said as he switched out his Circle Switch, "get ready."
"Like you need to worry."
Flash, On!
As the Light Module burned away all the shadows, Corvus was forced into the open.
"Goodnight miss crow," Meteor said as he inserted his Switch into the Meteor Galaxy.
Limit Break!
Meteor's fist glowed as prepared to attack, but before he could, Corvus surrounded herself in a cloud of feathers. Meteor blew through the cloud, but Corvus was already gone.
"Where the hell did she go," Meteor asked as he returned the Switch to his Driver.
Off in the distance, they heard a scream of frustration that sounded like it came from Rainbow Dash.
"Something tells me that way." Fourze said.
"What do you mean we can't go after them!!!"
Jack and Bobby had dehenshined as they arrived in a room that looked rather normal, except for a rather ornate mirror. The Mane 6 and all 3 princesses were gathered, and Dash was currently yelling in Celestia's face.
"I'm sorry, but you cannot go."
"Um, would someone mind explaining what's going on?" Jack asked.
Celestia turned her head towards them, "Good to see you two. An old student of mine, Sunset Shimmer, stole the Element of Magic and used this mirror to escape."
"And according to her, we're not allowed to help Twilight get it back," said Dash.
"Um, why did she steal it, and why won't you let them?" asked Bobby.
"Sunset was once not much different from Twilight, but as the years went by, her thirst for knowledge and power grew. She sought out forbidden knowledge, and when I confronted her, she used this mirror to flee into another reality."
"My sister and I agree that the Element of Magic must be retrieved," Luna continued, "but if too many go, the fabric of reality might be damaged."
"That means I have to go, alone," Twilight said as she eyed the mirror apprehensively.
"Maybe not," Jack said.
"What do you mean?" asked Celestia.
"I'm not from this dimension, and for all we know this mirror could lead to my home, so there isn't as much of a risk if I accompany her."
Luna turned to her sister, "His reasoning is rather sound."
Celestia considered it for a minute before nodding, "Very well, the Zodiart passed through as well, so having you with her will be worth the risk."
"Well, if you're going I guess I'm going too," said Bobby.
"No you're not," countered Jack.
"And why not?"
"A: if a Zodiarts attacks while I'm gone, you need to be here to stop it. And B:," Jack placed his hand on Bobby's shoulder and grinned, "one of us needs to be here for the summit."
Bobby frowned, "I hate you so much."
Jack simply chuckled as he and Twilight stood in front of the mirror, "Ready?"
Twilight gulped, "As I'll ever be."
"Remember," Celestia warned, "the portal will only remain open for three days, and then it will remain closed for 30 moons."
"No pressure," Jack muttered to himself.
"Jack," Celestia said, causing him to turn to look at her, "keep my student safe." Jack nodded before he and Twilight walked up to the portal.
"If you don't make it back, I get your room!" Bobby shouted just as they stepped through. Before anyone could react, Spike charged through after them.
Luna turned to her sister, "Do you think they'll be alright?"
Celestia looked at the portal with a forlorn look on her face, "I hope so."
Jack shook his head slightly as he exited the other side, "Man, that wasn't as smooth as one of my Gates, huh Twi?" However, as he turned to look beside him, it wasn't who he was expecting. Instead of a purple Alicorn, there was a light skinned teenager in a purple school uniform, at least her hair was the same.
"What... why am I?" Twilight asked herself as she examined her new fingers.
"Not sure, but I sure hope I don't become a pony when we go back" Jack said before extending a hand to help her up. However, before she could stand up, something else shot out of the portal and knocked into them.
"Woah, what a rush," said the figure, who was a 12ish looking boy with purple pants and sweater, green shoes t-shirt and spiky hair, and a very familiar voice.
"Spike! What are you doing here?" Twilight asked/yelled.
"Hey, like I was going to let you go off without your number 1 assistant."
"Urgh, I don't know if this is the sweetest thing you've done, or the dumbest."
"Well, at least Jack won't mind the extra help, won't you?"
Jack couldn't answer, as he was looking in fascination at their end of the portal. It was set into the base of a statue of a cartoony looking satellite. "It can't be, Hayabusa-kun?"
"Do you know where we are?" Twilight asked as she rose unsteadily to her feet.
Jack just turned around. What he saw was an ordinary enough looking high-school, if a mite on the large side. What took him back was a sign that had the school's name.
"Amanogawa? But that's..."
"Oy, if you don't hurry up you'll be late for class," said a voice behind them. They turned to see a tall man wearing a tan suit, and black hair done up in a pompadour.
"Oh, are you new students? My name's Professor Gentarou," he said as he stuck out his hand, "can't wait to be your friends."

And Hayabusa-Kun looks like this
This is just something I'm writing because A: it contains details that are semi-vital to the main storyline, and B: because this was planed from the inception of the main story and I couldn't wait to do it any longer. By the way, in case you didn't catch it before
Twilight, Spike and Jack walked down the halls. Gentarou had given them a timtable since they said they were transfer students, and Decima was currently in Burgermeal to ensure that they were in the school records. Jack was still amazed that he was in the actual Kamen Rider Universe, although becoming a teenager was a little disorienting.
"So," said Twilight, "where do you think we should start?"
Jack reached into his backpack and pulled out the Potechokin and Flashake, "We should split up and try to find out what we can, take Chips and Blinky so we can stay in touch."
Twilight nodded as she took the Potechokin and inserted the scissors Switch, "Good idea, and good to be working with you Chips."
"Good to be working with you as well," she replied.
"Well, I bet we'll find something first, won't we Blinky?" Spike asked as he inserted the Flash Switch.
"I... I'll do my best," he said nervously.
"Anyway, class starts in about half an hour, meet you there?" asked Jack.
Twilight and Spike nodded before they went their separate ways, hoping to find a clue as to the location of the Element of Magic. From a semi-shadowed alcove, a pair of eyes watched them, "This could prove to be a, complication."
Jack wandered the halls, recently rejoined by Decima, following his instincts. After a minute, he heard what sounded like shouting.
"You stupid bitch, how dare you take what is mine!"
"I didn't know it was yours," cried someone else.
Jack hurried and rounded the corner to see a red and yellow haired girl in a skirt and leather jacket berating a pink haired girl in a long brown skirt and yellow cashmere sweater. The red haired girl pulled back her hand, apparently to slap the other, when Jack grabbed it.
"I think that you should leave," said Jack.
The red haired girl pulled her arm away, "You can't tell me what to do."
Jack frowned before drawing on a tiny amount of his internal Cosmic Energy, "Let me say it again, leave her alone."
The girl cringed as she felt the power he put in his words, "Fine, I was done with her anyway."
As she turned and left, Jack sighed, dispelling his Energy, before turning to the other girl who was slumped on the ground, "Are you okay?"
The girl meeped before nodding, "I'm fine."
Jack offered her a hand to help her up, "I'm Jack, what's your name?"
"I'm... Fluttershy."
Jack frowned slightly, unable to catch what she said. However, before he could ask again, someone else ran up.
"Fluttershy! Are you okay?"
Jack looked to see that a girl with rainbow colored hair, a modified blue track uniform, and goggles on her forehead run up to them and look Fluttershy over for injury.
"Oh, I'm fine, this nice person helped me," Fluttershy said.
The new girl scrutinized Jack before sticking out her fist and grinning, "You helped my friend Fluttershy huh? Thanks, name's Rainbow Dash."
Jack grinned and bumped it with his own fist, "Jack. So, what did that other girl say you took?"
Fluttershy hid behind her hair, "I just found the crown for the Queen Festival outside near the Hyabusa-Kun statue when I was looking at the birds, and gave it to Mister Discord. But Sunset found out and said that it was hers."
Dash scoffed, "She's just being all bitchy cause nobody else is running."
"That must be it," Jack said, inwardly thinking that he now knew where the Element of Magic was.
"Anyway, we need to get to class," said Dash, "thanks again."
As they parted ways, a reflective surface glinted, before whatever it was attached to left.
Spike was currently poking his head in various club rooms, and he wasn't having the worst time in the world. Currently he had scored a muffin from the baking club, some pancakes from the home-economics club, a few apples from the agriculture club, and a small stack of application forms.
Spike tossed a core in the trash as he looked at the sign by the latest club room, "Fashion Design Club huh? Well, I've already had enough food for now, might try that Italian Cooking Club later though."
As he opened the door, he saw a blue haired girl in a tan outfit who appeared to be struggling under the weight of several bolts of cloth that were being tossed to her by another girl in a jeweled outfit who was waist-deep in a supply closet. "Miss President, are you sure we need this much?"
"I told you countless times Coco to call me Rarity, just because I'm club president means that you have to be all formal." Spike was instantly dumbstruck as she pulled her purple haired head out, "Oh hello, welcome to the Fashion Design Club, are you here to join?"
Spike nodded, not having listened to a word she said as Rarity grabbed him by the hand, "Lovely, now, I need you to help me with this fabric, we only have half an hour before the bell rings and I need it ready for after school, I have the most darling idea for a dress."
Twilight was checking out the cafeteria. Since it was well before school there weren't many people there, but Twilight had already spoken to a few people. She didn't find out much about her crown, the only thing on their minds was the Queen Festival tomorrow. All of a sudden, her stomach growled. Twilight frowned, in her nervousness from the summit, she hadn't had dinner. However, before she could start gnawing on the tables, she heard a whistle from behind her.
Twilight turned to see a girl wearing jeans, a checked shirt, and a rather familiar Stetson with a shiny green apple in her hand. "Sounds like you could use some grub," she said before tossing the apple at her.
"Thanks, I'm Twilight," Twilight said before tearing into the apple, "this is delicious."
"Thank ya kindly, names Applejack, president of the Agricultural Club."
'Applejack? Nah, just a coincidence,' Twilight thought to herself before wiping the juice from her chin.
Just then the bell rang. "Shoot," said Applejack, "we'd better get ta class, you new here?"
"Yeah, I'm supposed to go to room 221, I think."
"Same here, come on I'll take ya. Fair warning though, our teach's a mite... odd."
"Alright, settle down you lot, we have some transfer students," said the teacher, Professor Discord.
Jack, Twilight and Spike stood in front of the class. All of the people they met were seen, albeit scattered with the exception of Fluttershy and Dash. As they introduced themselves, Jack couldn't help but notice that a girl in the front row, who had pink poofy hair and a dress that looked like it had been made from a party, was examining them intently. After they had introduced themselves, Discord pulled a WWI helmet from his desk, put it on, and ducked down. Before Jack could do much more than glance at him, the girl in the front row exploded out of her seat in a shower of confetti.
"New friends!!! I'm Pinkie Pie, and you're invited to your new student party after school today!"
As Pinkie Pie grinnrf, Twilight nodded before whispering to Jack, "Okay, first a girl named Applejack gives me an apple, then we have a teacher named Discord, now this? This is getting weird."
"Even weirder if you count the fact that I met Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash, and judging from Spike's expression, he met Rarity."
"How is this possible?"
"Remind me to tell you about parallel realities later. As for our mission," Jack's eyes focused on Sunset, "something tells me that I know who took it."
In a dark office, someone was examining footage of Jack confronting Sunset. "It appears that you bear watching, Mr Princeton."
