Chapter 1: From convention to Intervention

In the Southern states of California, a 21 year old man named Joe Herten has been a brony since he first watch season 1 premier of MLP a year ago. However as a few weeks passed he have heard and begin to be as much of a big fan to the Kamen Rider franchise. Every time an MLP episode is in hiatus or he is impatient of seeing a next episode of MLP, he would directly watched Kamen Rider Series and had watched it from Kuuga to Kiva.

On the day he's alone in his room and was just watched the last episode Kamen Rider Decade, his stamina and blood pressure increase and though was blown as he witness the ending Decade episode on his laptop.

“ What in the heck is this ending!? Why in the frick did the original Riders fight with Tsukasa and Kaito blast at him like that!?” said Joe with frustration. "Oh well, I'll find out one I watch the crossover between Decade and Double" He said with a sigh confidence.

A few seconds later he realized that the Kamen Rider Covention he supposed to go to is about three days from now “Of course the convention, good thing I have already prepared my Kamen Rider Decade costume as I first started to watch the series, all that is missing is the Rider Booker, Rider Cards and the Decadriver ” said Joe with a hint of concerned and brainstorming of how he'll able to afford them in time.

“ Oh well, I could buy it in the convention anyways, and I almost forgot about the new episode of MLP season 5” Joe remembered about MLP. He search on his Netflix account for any new episodes.

As the day passed on, he keeps wearing his costume to find any changed that is necessary to it and to make it even more similar to the original costume in the show and begins to watch Kamen Rider Double. When the day is near he putted the costume inside his large suitcase as the armor is stiff and a little bulky.

"It's a good thing I have a van to carry all of this stuff" he said and hops in the van and prepared for an hour or two of driving to a hotel near to the convention.

“Huh, how tiring can this gets, at least my suitcase and everything in it is still in perfect shape” Joe said in a sign of relief that he came to the hotel a day before the convention.

“Well, better get some rest I have a big day tomorrow” as he finally reached to his room and take a shower and takes out his belongings of his clothes before a nap.

The next day he started to wear his Decade costume along with bringing Tsukasa main themed clothing and a camera that looks very similar to Tsukasa’s real camera. He drove his car and reached to the convention in a few minutes later.

“I can’t believed this is happening” He said with over joy, witnessing other fans dressing as other Kamen Riders and some Kaijin (humanoid monster in case you don’t know). Most of the kamen riders he saw is recognizable. But from Kamen Rider Double to Gaim, not so much. But as he goes on, he saw a stand which was selling all Kamen Rider and Super Sentai accessories and merchandise, with one of them a full set of Kamen Rider Decade’s Rider booker, cards and Decadriver, he immediately ran to it and asks to buy them.

“Hello good sir, I would like to purchase these” said Joe in a calmed state of matter, but his mind is full of excitement.

“Ah of course would you like the full set or in different pairs?” said the merchant.

“A full set would be great” Joe answered the merchant.

“All right that would be 30 dollars” the merchant replied.

Luckily for Joe he always kept spare money for such occasion. “Here you go good sir” said Joe as he hand the money to the merchant.

“Thank you and have a good day at the convention” the merchant wish Joe.

“You too” Joe answered as he unravel the packaging and he puts his belt and Booker on to complete his costume.

"It's even better than I hoped!" Joe said as he continues to wondering around the convention. As the hours passed, he enjoy wondering around the convention with his Decade costume and finally head back to the hotel in the late afternoon.

“Whoa, what a day, if only I would have at least catch up to Gaim, I wouldn’t have so much spoilers” said Joe as he examined his rider cards once more before a bright glow starting to emit from his cards and his driver and as the light glows even brighter. Before long, his hotel room is now empty with all of his belongings are gone with him in a flash of light. Right now he’s in a voyage of space which looks so similar to the voyage that Twilight went with Celestia in the season 3 finale of MLP.

“What in the world? How did I get here?” Joe said in an overwhelming voice and a recognizable and yet disturbed face to his surroundings. As he heard a footstep is getting close to him, his body is in a cold freeze of horror to what’s or rather who is in front of him.

“Joe, the world of Equestria is now in graved danger and for now only you can helped saved it” said the figure as it reveals to be none other than Tsukasa Kadoya aka: Kamen Rider Decade. Joe’s mind is froze as he heard to what Tsukasa said.

“How is this possible, Tsukasa is a fictional character and did he say Equestria? This can’t be real” Joe’s conscience said to himself and tries to pinch himself to make sure if he is dreaming.

“Look Joe, I know this is too difficult for you to understand, in time you will learn. But now that you possessed the Decade booker and driver, you can saved that world along with others” said Tsukasa in seriousness.

“Others?” said Joe in confusion.

“You have already aware about the Mane Six and the Princesses; however they are no match to this new threat. But you won’t have to do it alone though there will be others came to help in time. Now prepared for your new journey Joe!” said Tsukasa in a determination tone.

“Wait!” Joe shouted and stretch his hand straight, intending to grab him back. But before he could have said anything, an even brighter light emanating from the surroundings caused Joe to cover his eyes. When Joe managed to regained his consciousness, he found himself in a hospital room, although to his surprise this room looks too familiar to him.

“Why does this hospital room looks so familiar?” as he got himself up of the bed, he realized he wearing a hospital gown. “Hey I wondered where are my clothes?” he said when he saw his suitcase with his clothes and all of his stuff that he had brought is here. The hospital air is as neat and have a cool air as any. As Joe examined around his environment, he could hear a door open, when he turned around to see who opens the door, he was more than surprise.

“Oh, I see that you’re a wake” she said with a smile, it was the nurse but this nurse is no human, it’s an earth pony with a Light amaranth gray mane and a light gray coat and she's pulling the medical trolley. Joe stares at her in shock which he realize her in her MLP fandom name.

‘Nurse Redheart?’ Joe said in his mind.

Chapter 2: World Of Friendship Is Magic

“Some of us are quite scared and worried about your presence here, but it seems that you are no threat to us, because Princess Twilight Sparkle said that she seen creatures like you before and had brought you here about an hour ago.” Said Nurse Redheart.

“Wait madam am I in the Ponyville hospital?” said Joe.

“Yes you are, but how did you know about this hospital?” said Nurse Redheart in curiosity.

“I’ll explain later” said Joe, that’s when the gear in his head is on. He remembered about Tsukasa said that for now only him can save Equestria along with ‘others’ that Joe is really confused.

“Well anyways, did Twilight Sparkle say something to you before she brought me in?” said Joe in a hint of concerned.

“Not much sir, but she said she found you unconscious near the Everfree Forest with your suitcase and she’s a little bit worried about you because you looked similar to one of her friends from another dimension” said Nurse Redheart with a small giggle of how she mentioned about the mane six in the Equestria Girls world.

“Oh, well I think I’m in good shape now and is it alright for me to leave the hospital yet?” said Joe.

“Almost sir, we have to send a message to Princess Twilight about your recovery and signed some papers for the doctor before that” Said the nurse.

“All right then” Joe said, during his waiting for the Mane Six to arrived, a lot of thought’s going through his head ‘Ok, this is getting weirder by the minute, first I was sent to a voyage and talked to Tsukasa about saving Equestria, then I woke up in the Ponyville hospital and now the Mane Six is real?, if only I had an answer to all of this.’ Joe’s thoughts keep growing until the doctor came with some documents.

"Well then sir Joe, it seems that you're condition is not saver at all from the x-rays and testing on you while you're unconscious." The doctor said and Joe nodded.

"Thank you doctor, am I able to leaved the hospital?" Joe ask and the doctor gives a good nod for approval.

"Indeed, now I just send the letter to Princess Twilight to inform her about you're consciousness. She and her friends should be arrived in a couple of minutes." The doctor said and Joe begin to sit on his bed to past his time. Few minutes later there's a knock on the door

"Come in!" Joe said and Twilight and her friends walked into his room, they looked at Joe in a mix concerned and curiosity. At the same time he looked at them with a wide eye face and a twisted mind ‘I can’t believe I’m actually looking at them.’

“Hello sir my name is-” Twilight was slowly about to say something before Joe interrupt.

“Princess Twilight Sparkle, the princess of friendship and her friends.” Joe yelled in excitement and points at her friends.

“Pinkie Pie, Applejack, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy and Spike!!!” As he really recognized all of them and shaking their hooves at the same time.

“Hey wait, how you know us?!” Said Rainbow Dash in a curious and an angry tone and flies eye to eye at him.

"You see, the thing is do you think Twilight's friends from Canterlot High are the only humans who know you guys are?" Joe said and everypony respond.

"Yes!?" The ponies said.

"But that doesn't answered my questioned though!" Rainbow said as she gives a stare in Joe's eyes.

“Well that depends?" Joe said.

"On what?" Applejack said with a dangerous edge of her comment.

"Well the thing is. Twilight do you know what is a TV?” Joe answered in a hesitated voice and asked Twilight.

“I've seen it before from the other world and Sunset Shimmer instruct me about it a little why?” Twilight ask.

“You see, in my world you all are cartoon characters in my TV show” Joe said and immediately shield himself with the bed's pillow. He felt a small silent before peeking back at the ponies who confusingly staring at his deference.

Twilight was perked up, while the rest of the six was confused.

“Was that a compliment or an insult” said Applejack.

“Sorry about all of this, to be honest I have a hard time of understanding of all of this and it’s just that you girls are one of my favorite characters from my world” said Joe in a shameful voice.

“Girls, I think he’s telling the truth. If you are from a world where we are made up characters and you like us than you are no threat to us” said Twilight in a sign of joyfulness.

“Were sorry if we make you nervous a little bit back there." said Fluttershy.

“It’s no trouble at all you girls, after all I’m not so sure how I even got here in the first place.” Said Joe to make the six feel more comforting.

“Everything will be just fine darling; after all you do have quite an accessorized style of clothing although it needs some improvement.” Said Rarity to compliment on Joe’s Tsukasa clothes.

“Thank you Rarity, it’s true that you have an eye for fashion. Oh by the way, my name is Joe Herten, but you can call me Joe” Said Joe.

“Hey, Joe are you really a human, because you looked slightly different from the humans back at Cantherlot High” Spike questioned.

“Well, the only huge difference between the humans from my world is that we don’t have colorful skin and hair because that depends on what region they were born, other than that there pretty much the same” said Joe.

“YYYEEEPPPEEEHHH, WE ARE GOING TO HAVE SO MUCH FUN JOEY I THINK WE SHOULD MAKE A WELCOMING PARTY SINCE YOU FIRST CAME HERE !!!” says Pinkie as she bounce around the room.

“And I would be looking forward to it, but I should grab all of my stuffs first” said Joe as he started to pack up his suitcase. When he is done he realized he is missing one more thing, his Decade costume and then he came to the hospital’s reception.

“Excuse me, nurse is there anything else I have that is still in the hospital?” said Joe.

“Yes, there is this strange looking device that you have” said the nurse as she picked up the Rider Booker and the Decadriver, “It looks like some kind of belt buckle” said the nurse in confusion.

But Joe was still having a serious face as he said: “Is that all I have when I came here?”

“Yes, other than your suitcase clothes and this there is not anything else. I even checked twice” said the nurse.

“Twilight, is this all I have when you found me near the Everfree forest?” Joe ask Twilight for insurance.

“Yeah, that’s all why do you ask?” Twilight questioning Joe.

“Never mind, it’s not that important anyways” said Joe, despite saying it he’s still baffle “that’s strange, where is the rest of the costume?” said Joe in his mental mind.

“What is that thing anyways Joe?” Twilight asked.

“Oh, it’s just a toy” said Joe as when he grabbed it, it’s not made of plastic anymore, but more of a metallic like feeling to it ‘that’s odd, it doesn’t feel like that before?’ Joe baffled a little.

“Anyways, let’s get moving by the way Twilight is it alright that I will be staying at your castle? I don’t know if there are any other places for me to go though” Joe said.

“Definitely, after all it is a huge place; there are extra rooms in the castle” said Twilight in a joyful mood.

“Alright yee all, let’s have a tour around Ponyville for you Joe ” said Applejack.

“No need for that, I’ve already seen Ponyville, but taking a look around shouldn’t be too bad though” said Joe.

As they leave the hospital, Joe looked around Ponyville, everypony around the town saw Joe in a mix of fear and curiosity. “Sorry about that Joe, this is the first time they have seen a human” said Twilight.

“No problem Twilight, after all you’re for now the only pony who seen a human and came back to Equestria after that incident with Sunset Shimmer.” Said Joe.

“Just how much do you know about us anyways, am I that awesome when you watch me in that TV thing that Twilight mentioned when she first came back from Catherlot High?” Asked Rainbow Dash.

“You’re always cool Rainbow, besides it’s not like there is anything that happen that going to show off your coolness” Said Joe, as on cue a scream can be heard nearby and many ponies started to run.

“ Run everypony, it’s a monster!!” said BonBon with Lyra running with her.

“It’s on the town center!!!” Lyra yelled out.

Joe heard this and said “Did Lyra and BonBon said that there is a monster?”

“One way to find out” said Twilight.

When they did get to the town square, they were shocked to see what’s in front of them. It was a dark skin humanoid buffalo like creature which wear an armor like substance and two bandage arms. However the one who is shocked most is Joe as he recognized this monster, it’s a buffalo Grongi a monster from Kamen Rider Kuuga.

Joe quickly ran out of the area and headed to an alley to keep distance from the creature. But the six started in their battle positions, “What is that thing and it needs more accessories!?” said Rarity in disgust.

“I have no clue Rarity, but whatever it is it looks dangerous and we need to stop it!” said Twilight.

“Twilight run! I know you fight monsters before but that thing is unlike anything you have faced before, get out of there before it’s too late!!” Joe yelled out a warning.

“We appreciate your concerned Joe, but if that thing causes harm than we can’t just sit by and watch” Twilight let out a confident command.

“Yeah, it can’t be that hard” said Rainbow Dash as she fly up high and try to dive bomb it. Only for the Grongi to duck and grab her tail as she almost hit the target and threw her to the ground next to the by standers.

“RAINBOW!!!” the six yelled. After that Applejack tries to run towards it and jump in the air to do a jump kick. At the same time Twilight charge at it with her horn glow. Only to have it rolled to the side and have the two of them hit each other and the Grongi kicked Applejack aside and grabbed Twilight by her neck. She tries to blast her magic at it, but little to no effect.

Joe was sitting on the side line and depression grows from him “How is this possible. How is there a Grongi in Equestria? If no pony came to help, the six lives could be on the line” Joe said in desperation.

Rarity charged it with her horn glow to blast her magic at it to help Twilight. But it still have no affect on the Grongi as it throw Twilight at

Rarity and they fall to the ground in a solid thud.

“Twilight, Rarity!!!” Spike yelled and in anger he breathes fire at it. But only to make it even angrier, the rest of them gathered together to tend their wounds, but not before the Grongi charged at them.

“That’s it!! This is gone too far Grongi” Joe said in frustration and charged at the Grongi, knocking it off from the group. He tries to punch and kick it, but his attacks proven to be nothing to it as it gives a powerful punch at Joe’s face, knocking him in front of the Six and Spike.

“JOE!!!” all the six and Spike yelled.

“I'm alright everypony!” Joe respond.

“Listen Joe darling, we know that you are concerned to us, but there is no need to put yourself in danger like this.” Rarity said.

“I appreciate that, but I can’t stand here and watched you guys suffered” said Joe in determination. “If only I’m a Kamen Rider!” Joe yelled. As soon as he said those very words, the next thing he noticed is that he came back to the same voyed where he met Tsukasa. And one cue, Tsukasa appears once more

“You are a Kamen Rider Joe, you have the very thing to be one.” Said Tsukasa.

“You mean these?” Joe said as he held out the Rider booker and Decadriver.

Tsukasa nodded and said one last word “Only you can be this world’s Kamen Rider Decade” before Joe got back to reality where the Grongi came closer to them.

This time Joey stood tall and used himself as a shield to protect the six of them.

“Joe what are you doing it’s too dangerous!!!” Twilight yelled in feared and concerned.

“Don’t worry Twilight, I know what needs to be done. If what I’m about to do next works. Then I might have a chance to beat it. But if not, at least I’ll try to distracted it long enough for you to call Princess Celestia for help” Joe said as he grabbed the Decadriver and placed it on his abdomen with a metal belt slot came out of it. Then he placed the Rider booker on the left side of the belt and opened it to take out a card that has a picture of Kamen Rider Decade.

Joe held up the card in front of the Grongi . “Henshin” Joe yelled out loud as he flipped the card and placed the Rider Card inside the driver. When he did a voice came out and a holographic word appears in front of the driver.

=KAMEN RIDE=

After that he press both two metal handles from the driver

=DECADE=

What happens next shocked everyone, even the Grongi. Nine circle like silhouettes which had different logos appears around him now formed into holographic figures and all collided to him, forming an armor they had never seen. As the armored formed, card like objects came out from the belt and place into his helmet, forming a masked like appearance.

When the armor is formed, it’s most dominant color is black and magenta, with some white piece of armor on half of the legs and arms the chest has an X shaped to it. The most promising feature is the helmet which had a face similar to a barcode, having a green lighter in the middle and two green compound eyes.

All of them have their jaws dropped before Twilight slowly respond “Joe is that you?”

“Yes, Twilight but you can call me Kamen Rider Decade” Joe said as he in his fighting stand at the Grongi.

Chapter 3: The Nine Stories Begin

Joe and the Grongi charged at each other, the Grongi tries to punch and kicked him like before, but it doesn’t had any effect on him due to the armor protecting him. Joe responded and deflects the Grongi punches and deliver a powerful punch of his own, enough to bring it down, as the Grongi got mad and charged at him, he opens the rider booker and took out another card to placed it in the Decadriver.

=ATTACK RIDE: SLASH=

As he did, his rider booker changed into a sword and uses it to slash at the Grongi, causing sparks to appear as it made contract to the Grongi, giving it more damage. As the Grongi falls down, Joe placed one more card in the driver.

=FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-DECADE=

After that, ten card like holograms appear out of thin air in front of Joe and he jumped up high in the air and stretch out his legs to deliver a powerful kick, then the cards shifted to allow Joe to pass through the cards as he does a drop kick, after he past the final card a barcode formed under his feet, he lets out a loud roar and slammed it at the Grongi at the chest. The Grongi cries in pain and flies several feet before it explodes. Joe then stand up to where he’s landed and turned his head to see that the group had their jaws dropped at what they have witness.

“Are you guy’s alright?” Joe asked. They all nodded slowly.

“T-That w-was, AWESOME! Ouch!” Rainbow cheered in awe which causes her to fly which reveals her injury.

“It seems that some of us got hurt during the fight, ouch!” Twilight said as she feels pain in her hoof.

“We need to take you guys to the hospital quick, luckily for me I’ve got just the thing for quick.” Joe said as he takes out a card from his case which has a picture of another Kamen Rider and insert it in the driver.

=KAMEN RIDE: KABUTO=

A flash of octagon like light surrounds him and he changed into a new form, his armor is mostly black and some silver from his legs and his arms and shoulders. The chest armor is crimson and the mouth piece is silver. As the transformation complete, a long horn like object under his chin is now connected to the face, forming blue compound eyes and forming a large horn. He turns into Kamen Rider Kabuto. Everypony was shocked to see Joe’s new form.

“Everypony, I’ll explain everything later but I’ll take Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Rarity and Applejack to the hospital. I’ll meet all of you there” said Joe as he produced another card and was about to insert it in the driver, but he noe noticed something.

"Oh and can you guys help carry my luggages back to the hospital?" Joe said and the three nodded and he inserts the card.

=ATTACK RIDE: CLOCK UP=

As said he is gone in a link of an eye, Pinkie, Fluttershy and Spike was shocked and snapped back to reality. “Yeah you heard him, let’s go to the hospital to meet with them” Spike said as they both ran to the hospital with Spike carrying his luggage.

"Luckily it's not as heavy as Rarities!" Spike said as he manages to keep up with the two ponies while carrying two luggages.

Joe tries to use his Clock Up abilities without making Rainbow, Applejack, Twilight and Rarity are feel dizzy while he carries them in his arms. ‘Where’s the hospital?’ he struggles to use Clock Up a little bit due to his point of view of time slows down in order for him to move at a speed of light.

“There!!” as he found the hospital he placed the four ponies down and he changed to his civilian form. “Whoa, who would have thought that Clock Up is that confusing!?” said Joe as he got a small headache. Though the four is confused to what he said but yet grateful.
“Thank you Joe for everything you did” said Twilight.

“No problem, now let’s get you into the hospital” Joe said as he picked the four of them and went into the hospital. By the time Spike, Fluttershy and Pinkie arrived to the hospital, they found the room where Joe and the rest of the four were in.

“Are you all alright?” said Fluttershy with concerned.

“Everything is alright, Rainbow Dash was in pain the most, her wing was dented a little, but all of us are fine” said Joe with happiness.

“Oh thank goodness!” Said Fluttershy.

“Sorry Pinkie but the party have to moved to the next day, a party isn’t fun when a friend got hurt” said Joe to convince Pinkie to moved the party.

“It’s alright besides you’re right, friends are more important” Said Pinkie.

“Uh, Joe how did you do all of that!?” said Spike in awe.

“Yeah, what was that armor you’re wearing, it looks exquisite, but a little tacky though” said Rarity with a hint of excitement.

“And how can you change armor like that anyways?” Applejack asked and wondered.

“And how can you move so fast back there?” Rainbow Dash said with an enthusiastic mood.

“Guys, I know all of you have many questions and I love to answer them. But can we at least leaved that aside until we came back to Twilight’s castle, I rather keep my abilities all a secret.” Said Joe with his hands raised up to calm everyone down.

“Ok, but you will have a lot of questions to answer though.” Twilight said.

“I get it” said Joe. On cue the doctor came to the room with news “Good news, both of your injuries aren’t too serious, in fact you could all leave the hospital although Rainbow Dash no flying for at least a day or two” the Doctor said.

“Aw man!” said Rainbow in frustration.

“Don’t worry Rainbow Dash, everything’s gonna be fine” said Twilight. They all have a sign of relief, Joe then drags his two suitcases as everyone leaves the hospital and head to Twilight’s castle. As they head on, Joe noticed that everypony started to feel a little bit more suspicious when they saw him, but most of them focus on rebuilding the damage that the Grongi had left such as sweeping broken glass, covering up holes… Joe decided to take a picture of the town and the ponies (like Tsukasa).

“What’s with the camera?” Applejack questioned.

“Let’s just say is sort of a hobby of mine” Joe answered.

“Ohhh” everypony/dragon said as they all arrived to Twilight’s castle.

“It’s even larger than I imagine” said Joe with a sign of excitement.

“You like it? Because it’s even larger inside” said Twilight. As they entered, Twilight closed the doors with her magic and they arrived to the throne room.

“This is incredible, I’ve never though I’ll see it with my own eyes” said Joe. The ponies and Spike seated on their throne while Joe finds a nearby stool to sit on.

“Ok is everypony ready?” said Joe to make sure everyone is listening.

“Yeah!!” everypony and Spike said.

“Well, to start what you all just saw was that I transformed into Kamen Rider Decade” Joe explained.

“Uh, what is a Kamen Rider anyways” said Twilight.

“In my world, Kamen Rider’s are a type of superheroes and there many other Kamen Riders besides Decade” said Joe.

“Wait, so you’re a superhero that’s so cool, what kind of powers do you have, do you have a catchphrase?” said Spike in hysterical mood.

“Well, Decade have some sort of phrase that he always said and you all ready saw my powers.” Joe replied.

“But how can you change your form like that and why is your ‘Kamen Rider’ called Decade?” Applejack asked.

“Kamen is a native language in a specific region, it means masked while ‘Rider’ means that they have a transportation called a motorcycle, it’s similar to a carriage, but it’s smaller and have much more machinery to it.” Said Joe.

“Oh, but that still doesn’t answer my other question though Joe” Applejack ask.

“You see, I’m called Decade because I’m able to turn into nine other Kamen Riders that came before Decade.” Joe said, and then he shows them the Rider Booker and the Decadriver.

“This belt is called the Decadriver, it allows me to turned into Decade back there and this is the Rider Booker, it’s a case that’s carries all of my cards and the cards are Decade’s source of power” Joe said as he pulls out Kabuto’s card from his booker and show it to everyone.

“This is Kamen Rider Kabuto, one of the fastest Kamen Riders ever been known and he’s the predecessor of Decade.” Joe showed the card.

“One of the fastest huh? Well I’ll be looking forward to a race with you” said Rainbow with a smug on her face.

“I know you’re fast Rainbow, but you should know that Kabuto said that he could move a speed almost as fast as light, meaning a speed so fast that normal people or ponies in this case can’t see.” Said Joe but only to make Rainbow more anxious for a race.

“Well, we don’t know unless we tried” said Rainbow with confidence.

“Can we all see your belt and case?” Twilight asked.

“Of course here you go, but be careful with it, It would be bad if another Grongi came while it’s broken.” Said Joe.

“Grongi? Is it that monster that attacks us back there?” Applejack asked.

“Yes, Grongi’s are an ancient tribe of monsters that have a ferocious behavior and history, it participates in a game called the Gegeru the goal of the game is to hurt and hunt others for fun.” Said Joe in a negative tone.

Everypony and Spike all looked horrified about the Grongi’s nature. “That’s horrible” said Rarity.

“But how do you know about that monster though? If it’s not too much trouble for you to answer.” Fluttershy asked.

“Truth be told like the Power Ponies, Kamen Riders and monsters like the Grongi are only made up fictional characters in a series of stories.” Joe answered, seconds later his card with Kabuto’s image vanished, leaving a blurry grey color of Kabuto behind.

“What the? That’s odd” Joe said as the ponies/spike witnesses it too. As Joe open the case and looked at the other Kamen Rider cards, there all dissipates and leaving a blurry grey color.

“Joe what happened to your cards?” Twilight asked in shocked.

“I don’t know they just…” Joe said as he remembered something .“Wait, this is the same thing happened when the original Kamen Rider Decade first used his powers” said Joe in realization.

“What do you mean Joe?” Spike asked.

“It means that there is a sealed that causes my cards to go grey and blurry and the only way to restored them to normal is to meet and get along with the other Kamen Riders.” Said Joe. That’s when the gear on his head turning as he looked back to what Tsukasa said about the ‘others’ that will come to help him.

“Everypony, I think that I’m not the only Kamen Rider in Equestria!” said Joe in a baffle face.

“So then there are other superhero’s like you are here now in Equestria, yupee it means that were going to make a lot more new friends too !” said Pinkie Pie in her usual exciting action.

“Wait, why would there be more of you came to our world?” Twilight asked.

“Well, the thing is everypony, before I came to Equestria, I was in my hotel room and then my belt and case suddenly glows bright, the next thing I knew is that I’m in a voyage, similar to the one that Twilight came to become an Alicorn princess. That’s where I meet the original Kamen Rider Decade named Tsukasa, he said that Equestria is about to be threatened by a new enemy that you guy nor even the Princesses are no match, I think the Grongi is one of those new threats and he also said that there will be others that will come to help me in time.” Said Joe in theory.

“What!? So you’re telling us that there would be more of those Grongi things will came to Equestria!?” Twilight said in a mix of surprise and horror.

“I also noticed something else, if Grongi existed and came to Equestria, which means that there could be other monsters that could come here!” Joe said in concerned. Everypony/dragon and Joe looked at each other with a negative atmospheric horror tone that shivers everyone.

“Hey looked on the bright side, Joe here could just beat them all up, besides if what he said is true, which means that there are other superheroes like him will come to help him.” Said Spike in enthusiasm.

Which also cause Pinkie Pie in a brighten up joy as well “YEAH, you will be like boom, punch, pow, bang, pew, pew” as she bounces around.

“Well, I’ll do whatever I can then. It’s not like I’m gonna do it all alone though.” Said Joe with a small but yet a joyful smile.

“I think that’s enough questions to answer, after all we’ve been through a lot, Joe I’ll show you where you will be staying.” Twilight said.

“Thanks Twilight, but can you all make a Pinkie promise something for me?” Joe asked

“Yes?” All of them said in unison

“Can you keep my Kamen Rider abilities a secret, I rather not go public about it.” Said Joe

“If that’s what you need Joe darling than I will” said Rarity.

“Shoot, that ain’t the best thing I do, but I don’t see the problem of keeping that secret.” Said Applejack.

“Well, if that means being loyal to my friends than I’m more than happy to keep it a secret” said Rainbow.

“Umm, I’ll do my best to keep it a secret” said Fluttershy in her usual shy voice. And Pinkie does the same signs she did when she kept Twilights secret back at season 1. Joe recognized it and gives a thumb up.

“Don’t worry Joe, I’m great at keeping secrets you know, but Twilight on the other hoof, not so much.” Spike said. Twilight didn’t respond but gives a dagger like glare at him.

“It’s alright Joe, I’ll keep it a secret. But on one condition!” said Twilight. Joe raised an eyebrow and ask “What is it”.
“If Princess Celestia directly asked me about it, then I must tell her.” Twilight answered, Joe understands her condition and nodded for approval.

“All right, you could tell her as long as she and the other princesses would keep my secret.” Joe answered her.

“Good, then I’ll report everything to Princess Celestia by tomorrow, for now let get some rest, we got a big day tomorrow, besides you might say you’re protect you back there, but I’m still concerned for you though.” Said Twilight as she points her hoof at Joe.

“Ok I get it” Joe responds and everypony said goodbye and head back to their homes. During that Twilight took Joe with him carrying his suitcase to one of the Rooms in the castle which had a comforting bed and crystal walls everywhere.

“Well this is one of the most comfortable room in the castle, might as well enjoy it.” Twilight said with an enthusiastic voice.

“Thank you Twilight, this is more than perfect.” Joe said

“Good night Joe, you’ll need a lot of rest.” Twilight reminded him.

“You too.” said Joe.

As both Twilight and Spike leaves the room, Joe got changed with his pajamas in his suitcase. He then headed to bed, putting all of his smaller belongings like his watch and phone on the nightstand. But he puts the Decadriver and Booker on his bed with him. While he wonders himself ‘Will I ever go back to my world?’

Chapter 4: Appearances

In the morning everyone is enjoying their daily basics, Twilight is waiting for Celestia’s response, Spike clean up the dining table and Joe is still in his room starring at his Decadriver and tried to figure out what Tsukasa was trying to tell him, suddenly they both heard a sound of a chariot landed outside of the castle, they got to the foyer they saw Celestia entering the castle.

“Princess Celestia!” Twilight cheerfully said as she ran up to her and Joe was left baffle to actually witnessing the princess in real life.

“Twilight Sparkle, my former student I’m glad that you’re alright. I’ve read your letter from yesterday and I got worried.” Celestia said.

“Were all alright Princess, thanks to our new friend here.” Twilight said, pointing at Joe. In respond he waves at Celestia. Celestia is confused to see Joe’s appearance but grateful at the same time, she then pursues to him

“If Twilight said that you’re the one who saved her and her friends, than I’m more than grateful” Celestia said as she pursued to Joe. Joe then kneels down to bow.

“It’s an honor Princess Celestia” Joe informed her.

Celestia giggles a bit and asked a few questions “You’re welcome young one, but who are you, why are you here in Equestria?”

“My name is Joe, I’m a human, like the ones from the alternate world where Sunset Shimmer lives. But I’m a human from a different dimension. And I came here because someone informs me to come here to protect Equestria.” Joe tries to answer her questions.

“Really, who?” Celestia respond.

Joe tries to answer “A guy named Tsukasa, the original Kamen Rider Decade”. Celestia was confused with the term.

“Kamen…Rider, perhaps you could explain?” Celestia said

“Kamen Riders are heroic warriors that fight evil monsters to protect peace and harmony that came from my world. Similar to the Power Ponies here and Twilight and her friends” Joe answered.

“Evil monsters? Like the one that attacked Ponyville yesterday?” Celestia asked.

“Correct. And from my world, there called Kaijins, but they were supposed to be made up stories .” Joe explained.

“That’s a very interesting topic young one, but I’m still wondered how you were able to stop the monster.” Celestia said.

“Well he send me here to be this world’s Kamen Rider Decade and I could show you it if you want to.” Joe said. Celestia thought for a moment before nodding in agreement.

“Alright then” Joe gives an approval as he take out his Decadriver and places it on his waist, causing a metal strap to appear and the rider booker on the belts left side as he took out a card from the booker to do the same thing.

“Henshin” he said before he insert the card in the driver and press the handles.

=KAMEN RIDE: DECADE=

Moments later he transformed into Kamen Rider Decade, which cause Celestia to jaw dropped.

“This is Kamen Rider Decade” Joe said. Celestia stares at him in with awe of his Rider Form.

“But how does it work?” Celestia said in confusion.

“Well, the belt I’m wearing is my transformation item and the case on my left side is to hold my cards which are the source of Decade’s powers”. He said as Joe opened the case and reveals his attack ride cards. Joe then turns back to normal and Celestia is still dumbfounded.

“If what you’re saying is true, then you’re more than welcome to help us.” Celestia said and Joe smiles.

“More importantly, yesterday some of the ponies in Cantherlot said that they witness something that is similar to the monster that you defeated.” Celestia said. Joe, Twilight and Spike are wide eyed.

“What!? Celestia, did any pony got hurt!?” Twilight ask.

“Yes, some of those monsters are really strong, even my elite guards barely managed to hold some of them. Luckily my magic was enough to hold off some of them away, but I don’t know if it will be enough.” Celestia said in a sight of concern.

“Don’t worry Princess, I’ll come and stopped them immediately.” Joe said.

“Are you sure? There really dangerous.” Celestia said.

“Don’t worry, I know what to do.” Joe said as he gives a reassuring nod.

“I’ll get my friends to come to help us; I’ll be back as soon as I can!” Twilight said as she flies of while Celestia, Joe and Spike are waiting. She came back with the rest of the main six and they all headed to Canterlot. Celestia ride on her chariot while the rest of them taken the train with them are the only one in the train. Suddenly when the train begins to enter the outskirts of Canterlot, a Royal Guard appears and stops the train.

"Sorry every pony, it seems that the station in Canterlot is closed to a series of monster attacks!" The Guard said.

"What? now what do we do?" Rainbow said and seconds later Celestia fly towards the train and the Guard immediately on his pose.

"Don't worry, let my former student and her friends enter, they can help." Celestia demands and the Guard nod as he let the train conductor activates the train. When they arrived, they are more than horrified to view what is occurring, multiple Grongi monsters are beginning to terrorize the Capitol, every pony ran and hide for their lives as the town is infested with the tribal monsters.

“Princess Celestia, are those the monsters you mentioned?” Twilight asks and she nodded.

“Yes, but I never thought that there were this many of them!” Celestia said in fright. Luna then flies towards them with a pressing facial feature.

“Sister, while you were gone, these monsters keep piling up out of nowhere!” Luna said as she blasts a magical aura at one of them, few sparks came out from their body, but they were little harm.

Joe ran up to the monsters, placing his driver and held out his card “Henshin!” He yells.

= KAMEN RIDE: DECADE! =

Joe transforms and Luna is now wide eye at this turn of event.

“We’ll talk about this later sister.” Celestia said to Luna and Joe begins to fight the Grongi army, he was able to hold off some of the Grongi, but more beginning to pile up.

=ATTACK RIDE: BLAST=

His case changed again, this time a gun like form and tried to shoot the Grongi that are harming the ponies. The Main Six came to bring the ponies to safe grounds, but more Grongi begins to charge at him. Joe inserted another card.

=ATTACK RIDE: SLASH=

His case changed into a sword again and slashing the Grongi that are surrounding him. Only to cause more Grongie’s to surround him. Celestia, Luna and Twilight tried to blast at the monstrous tribe with their magic to help Joe. Joe pursued as he desperately insert another card in the driver.

=ATTACK RIDE: ILLUSION=

Then two more Decades came out of nowhere and started to slash the Grongie’s with their sword which cause the main six and the Princesses to be baffled. The three Decades handle most of the Grongi. But more Grongi showed up and headed to the Princesses and the Mane 6 and Spike. Joe saw this and tried to save them, but were been pushed back by more Grongie’s.

“How are they that powerful?” Celestia said in an unnerving tone as she and Luna tried to blast more magic at it. The Grongi surrounds the Princesses and the Six.

“This is too dreadful for my completion!” Rarity overly panicked and tried to run away from the monsters as fast as possible, but one of the Grongi blocked her path and grabs her by the throat, lifting her up and choking her.

“RARITY!!!” All of them yelled in horror as the Six tried to save her, but more Grongie’s surrounds them. Rarity tries to get it of her with her hoof, but also realized in fear that the monster will be the last thing she will see as she let her hoof go in a lifeless motion. As if there is no hoped at all, a young man who looks a year younger than Joe jumped up and kicked the Grongi and grabbed Rarity and placed her safely on the ground. Rarity slowly opened her eye to see the figure that saved her, he’s a human similar to Joe, but have shorter hair and wearing a red jacket.

“Are you alright miss Rarity?” he said in a hint of worrieness.

Rarity nodded and answered “Yes, I’m alright. Thank you for saving mister…?” as Rarity tried to thank him as he stood up tall and gives an angry stared at the Grongi. He then placed two of his hands aside on his waist, causing a belt to appear.

The belt is a grey metal like design and have two large circles attached to the side of the belt, it also has multi color square like buttons on the middle of the belt. The most distinct feature is the big red circle on the middle of the buckle.

Joe saw the belt and immediately recognized it “Wait, is that a- !?” But before he could say anything, the man stretch is right hand out on the left side with his thumb and two of his fingers stretch and having his left hand on top of the belt, he then yelled out the same word that Joe said when transformed.

“Henshin” the young man yelled as his right hand moved further to the right and his left hand reached to the left side of the belt. He then has both of his hands reached and presses a button on the left side of the belt, after that a flash of light appears over him as an armor about to be formed around him. When the light dissipates it reveals the armor. The armor has two red knee caps with gold lining around it with a gold band on his ankle; it also has two red vambraces with a gold trim. The most stunning feature is his chest and shoulder piece is red and his masked is more bugs like in appearance, having an insect like mouth piece, red compound eyes and a pair of gold horns.

The figure starts a fighting pose as he said his name. “My name is Mark Josepha, but you can call me, Kamen Rider Kuuga”.

The Six, Spike and the Princesses stared at him in awe. “Kamen Rider Kuuga?” Twilight lifted an eyebrow.

“Kuuga!!!” One of the Grongi yelled which cause all of them to stare at him. Mark then charged at the Grongi, giving them a punch and kicked, aiding Joe in his fight. Leaving Joe an odd face, but was covered by his masked. Mark then did the same posed when he transformed only this time, he said in a different phrase.

“Chou Henshin” as he pressed the same button. He then changed to a slimmer blue armor and every red part of the body now changed to blue, even the eyes and the red circle on the belt, he’s ascend to Dragon Form. He then grabs a nearby pole which turned it into a long blue pole that he uses it to whack the Grongie’s.

“Chou Henshin” He announce, this time he is wearing a more bulky purple armor with two larger purple shoulder pads, Kuuga is now in his Titan Form. The staff then turns into a sword and used to slash more Grongi. Because of his aid, most of the Grongi are destroyed, leaving only one Bee Grongi, it begins to retreat by flying away, but Mark had other plans.

“Chou Henshin” This time, his armor is now green and has one left shoulder pad; he’s in Pegasus Form. Joe recognized the form and throws his Booker in gun mode at Kuuga.

“Thanks, I’ll return it!” He said as the gun turns into a bow like weapon, he then aims the bow cautiously at the flying Grongi, he made a direct hit at it and the creature explodes. The two turns back to normal and Joe pursued to the man

“Wow, that a battle thanks Kuuga” said Joe. “You’re welcome Decade, but you can call me Mark” said Mark in response and Joe respond back.

“and you could call me Joe” as they shared a laugh. The six, princesses and Spike reached to them with their astonished faces.

“THAT WAS AWESOME!!!” Rainbow Dash yelled out and flying around them with her wing now healed.

“It’s nothing Rainbow” said Mark, Joe then noticed that Mark knows Rarity and Rainbow.

“Wait you knew about them, does that mean you’re a Brony like me?” Joe asked.

“Well I started to watch the show a few months ago, I managed to catch up to season 5” Mark answered. They shared a laugh as Celestia and Luna walk up to them.

“Thank you very much for saving my subjects and all of Cantherlot.” Celestia greeted and the two nodded.

“It’s no problem.” Mark said

“How about we went in to the castle, we have some questions for you.” Joe said

“Alright.” Mark said and they both head to the castle. In the throne room Mark explains everything to the group.

“When I was back on my world, I bought the belt from a toy store a few days ago and bought my own Kuuga costume, but suddenly it glow brightly and a few moments later, I’m in a void similar to where Twilight became an Alicorn, then Godai Yusuke the original Kamen Rider Kuuga appears and he said that I must use his powers to protect Equestria.” Mark pause to take a breath before he continues.

“And then another glowing light blinded me and the next thing I knew is that I woke up on the outskirts of Cantherlot. At first I thought it was a theme park, but when I got closer, I realized that this is all real, ponies’ are in the capitol. I sit in one spot, thinking if all of this real and then suddenly I felt the belt on by waist and I saw it, when I press it, I turn into Kuuga.” Mark finishes his explanation and Joe suddenly shook him.

“Yusuke sends you to a void and tells you to protect Equestria!? Dude, that’s the exact same thing happened to me! I just came back from a convention and when I came to my hotel room, my Decadriver suddenly glows and Tsukasa was talking to me in the same void. Then I was send near to the Everfree Forest and that’s when Twilight found me and takes me to the hospital!” Joe explains and Mark is also in shock.

“What in the hay y’all discussing about?” Applejack questioned.

“Oh, you see a man named Yusuke, the original Kamen Rider Kuuga sends Mark here similar to how Tsukasa, the original Kamen Rider Decade sends me here to protect Equestria!” Joe said.

“Wait, does that mean were going to see more of your kind!?” Twilight said.

“Yeepeeh! How many of you are going to come here! I’ll make a super duper party for all of you super duper heroes!”Pinkie said in amazed.

“We can’t really give you the exact amount of all Kamen Riders in our world, but I would speculate that eight main riders will come here.”Joe said.

“Think about it, it’s the same as how you six and Spike are the main characters in the story from our world.” Mark said. They all gave an “OOOHHH” in realization.

“Hey, I just noticed something; both of your powers are kind of different somehow?” Spike wonders.

“That’s because Kuuga is a Kamen Rider date back in ancient times, his source of power is a mystical stone on his belt called an Amadum.” Joe said. Mark stands up and does the same pose as the original Kuuga to make his belt appear. The ponies are amazed at the appearance.

“My belt was created by highly advanced technology, while his is created in Ancient History dated back around hundreds of years.” Joe said.

“But that was just a story, in our world, they were originally just toys.”

“Maybe they use their powers to turn it into an actual thing for us to use it.” Mark said his theory.

“Well either way I am hopping that our answers will arise soon.” Twilight said.

“You two are more than happy to stay here to get some rest.” Celestia suggest and the two nodded.

“Yeah, that fight did leave us some pain; we need to get some rest.” Joe said as everyone agrees to stay in Canterlot for one night. Somewhere in the caves of Cantherlot tower, strange languages can be heard from within the deepest parts of the cave.

Translation:

“I can’t believed that Kuuga is now here!” one being said.

“Not to mention that there is another being which look similar to him who is now supporting him.” a second being said.

“We need to take over this world quickly before our deadline. Even if we send the Go group, the chances of them being defeated are likely” the first being said.

“This means that there is only one solution. We all need to charge at them by force!” The second being said as the light begins to reveal their identity, the two beings appears to be Grongi like with several more Grongies with them.

In the next morning, Joe and Mark both wake up and head down to the kitchen for breakfast, but before they even arrived, they heard several explosions and screams outside, when they got out they saw dozens of Grongi’s terrorizing the ponies, the main six and the princesses tried to fight them of and getting everypony to safety, but with little progress.

“Everypony are you all alright!?” Joe asks.

“Were fine now that you guys are here!” Rainbow said.

“Joe! Just how many of these dreadful things are there!?” Rarity questioned.

“If my memories are correct, then there should be around two hundred of them.” Mark said.

“WHAT!?” Everypony yells in shock and Rarity does her usual dramatic faint.

“Don’t worry, we know what to do!” Joe said as he and Mark are doing their usual pose.

“Henshin!” They yelled. Mark presses the button on the left side of his belt and Joe inserts his card into his belt. The two transform and charged at the tribal monsters. Joe turns his booker into sword mode again and starts to slash them.

“Chou Henshin! ” Mark said and turns into his Dragon form and picks up a nearby branch which turns into his dragon pole, but suddenly yellow electricity charges his body and his weapon, the belt’s core now became gold and he gain a more blue design with some gold trimmings and his pole now has two blades on each side, this form is known as Rising Dragon. With it, he easily slashes and destroys some of the Grongi. He then saw three midair Grongies flying towards some of the civilians, he quickly reacts.

“Chou Henshin! ” He said and turns into his Pegasus form, Joe saw this and throws his booker/gun, Mark catches it and turns it into his bowgun and then yellow electricity charges his body again, giving the armor a more green color that has gold trimmings and his bow now had a harpoon like design, he is now Rising Pegasus. Mark aims at the flying Grongies and fires three energy arrows at each of them and destroys them, he then returns the booker to Joe and changes one more time.

“Chou Henshin! ” He announce and turns into his Titan form, he grabs the same stick and turn it into his sword, again the electricity surges through him, giving him a more purple color and some gold trimmings and his sword now had a long sharp gold point and he easily destroys several more Grongies with the sword.

As a few last Grongies left and Mark ascends back into his Mighty Form, but when he changed into his base form, gold electricity surges through him as this armor form also begin to had gold trimmings and electricity constantly charging at his right leg, suddenly a golden anklet appears from electric energy and his belt core now had a more gold trimming. He then takes a surfing pose as he's about to initiate his final attack.

“Dude Wait!” Joe interrupts but was too late. Mark run towards the remain group of Grongie’s and jumps up high and deliver a powerful kick, which cause them to stumble back and all of them explodes and everypony ran towards them.

“That was amazing!” Twilight said.

“Yeah, you gotta show me that again!” Rainbow said in excitement. But Joe was more than confused than excited.

“Um Mark, didn’t that kick supposed to annihilate us all?” Joe said and everypony sighs at him in confusion.

“Oh yeah, I almost forgot to tell you, Yusuke and the other Riders said that they used their powers and Equestrian magic to make my final attacks less destructive.” Mark said and Joe gives a sigh in relief.

“Um Joe, what are you talking about?” Twilight ask.

“Oh well the things is, when Kuuga uses his final rider kick in his golden form, it’s powers is powerful enough to demolish a hole entire block.” Joe answered and the ponies give a wide eye in concern.

“But don’t worry, it seems that the original Kuuga and his friends use their powers and some Equestrian magic to make it more stable to use.” Mark repeats and the ponies sigh in relief.

“But that’s still pretty cool!” Rainbow said and they shared their laugh.

As Joe and Mark are about to cancel their transformation a nearby explosion causes everyone to look. What Joe and Mark saw bring shivers down their spine. It was a Grongi, but this Grongi has a more dreadful aura than any other, its body is mostly white, wearing a plant like accessories, sharp shoulder pads and a cape, the most shocking that its face is similar to Kuuga, but having a more terrifying mouth and small blue eyes and his horned looked more crown like than Kuuga’s.

“Everypony run, he is the leader of all Grongie’s and the most dangerous Grongi of all, RUN!!!” Joe yelled for everypony and Spike to run away. Both Joe and Mark make a battle stand and let out a roar as they charged at it. They tried fighting the Leader, but its raw strength proven to be beyond than the two of them as the Grongi Leader throw both of them at a nearby wall. Mark then stood up, electricity surges his body again, and this time his armor becoming black and had another pair of anklet on his left foreleg, this form is known as Amazingly Mighty form.

But the end result is still the same, the fierce leader punch Mark in the chest causing him to fly back towards Joe, both it at another wall. The Leader then grabbed both of them on his hand and slams them on the floor and kicked both of them, their injuries forces them back to their civilian form.

As the Leader slaughters the two, the main six, princesses and Spike witnessed in terror, realizing that they can’t do anything to help, but Twilight tries to use her horn to create a magic barrier surrounds the Grongi Lord and charged at it.

“Twilight what are you doing!!??” Celestia yelled as the rest of them are shocked at her actions.

“I can’t just leave my friends in danger!” Twilight yelled as she charged at him, but the Leader easily breaks the barrier and saw that Twilight is the one who create it, the Leader then became furious as Twilight tried to blast her magic at him. Twilight then stepped back to her friends as the Leader pursues them.

“LEAVE THEM ALONE N-DAGUEGAE!!!” Joe yelled.

“Actually it’s N-Daguva-Zeba” Mark corrects Joe’s spelling.

“Whatever!” Joe responds in annoyance. When the Leader came to close for comfort, Celestia and Luna combine their magic and create an even more powerful magic barrier to protect them. But the Leader’s brutal strength causes it to crack. Mark’s could only think of one way to save Twilight and her friends and stopped the Grongi Leader.

“Joe, I’m going to try turning into Kuuga’s Ultimate Form!” Mark said to Joe. Causing Joe to have a nerve-racking face

“What!? Are you crazy, you may said that Yusuke and the other Riders get your power on control, but we not so sure if it’s enough to handle that kind of power!” Joe gives out a warning yell.

“Even if I don’t transformed, we’ll all be dead anyways, we don’t have any better options. And don’t worry I won’t go berserk, because I’m doing this to protect them which proves that I’ve had a kind heart and as long as I’m kind, I will be able to control the power. Besides, isn’t protecting others is what a true Kamen Rider would do?” Mark said with an encouraging speech.

“Alright, but don’t push too far okay?” Joe agrees with Mark’s idea. Mark stood up and gives thumbs up for approval. He close his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to concentrate all of the Amadam (read circle on the belt and Kuuga’s source of power) powers before he starts his pose and press the same button.

“Henshin!” He said as stood and did a pose, black smoke surrounds him and and electric charge surrounds him to form his armor. When N-Daguva-Zeba breaks the barrier, both Celestia and Luna collapsed, the princesses, the six and Spike all closed their eyes and give a group hug to prepare for the worst. But instead of feeling being hurt, Twilight and her friends heard a struggle and when they open their eyes, they don’t believed what’s in front of them.

Mark turned into Kuuga once more and grabs the Leader’s wrist, but Kuuga appears more menacing than before. The armor is completely black in color with multiple gold trim lines around his body. His legs now have a horn on each side and his arms now have two long black horns on his elbows each, his chest armor has a more dominant design and the shoulder pads have a horn like crest and his horns now have five pointed horns making it look more like a crown and his belt has a gold trim on the buckle.

“I...won’t... let you... take away others smiles!” Mark yelled as he gives a punch on the Leader’s face causing him to fly and hit a building. The Leader then yelled and charged at him, Joe pursued to Twilight and the gang, comforting them.

“Joe, what happened to him!?” Fluttershy asked in a mix of relief of being saved and horror of witnessing Mark’s new form.

“Mark turns into Kamen Rider Kuuga’s most powerful form, Ultimate Kuuga.” Joe answered as they all view the fight between the two titans. Both Mark and the leader punched at their jaws at the same time sideways, as the battle goes on, both the Leader and Mark felt fatigue but not before their finishing blow. Kuuga tries his Ultimate Kick at the Leader, the Leader manage to dodge it by step back , but not before Kuuga gives him a punch, breaking the Leader’s Amadam, causing the Leader to turn into his human form and fall back. Kuuga then fell down as he felt a sign of relief and changed back to normal. But the leader gives them a typical unsettling evil laugh.

“Do you really think you’ve stopped us? In case you haven’t notice, I’m not the only Grongi leader!!” said the Leader. Mark and Joe doesn’t quite get what he’s saying at first, but a few seconds later they all have a shocked looked before the Leader explodes. The group came by to them.

“Joe, what does he mean when he said that he’s not the only leader?” Twilight asked. As the two about to explain to them, another evil laugh is heard. Stepping out of the former leader’s explosion is a new Leader, this Grongi leader has a brown fur like skin, wearing long leather like tasset and rib like armor on his back and his face is more wolf like.

“Who is that!?” Applejack froze in fear.

“He is the Grongie’s Leader alternative counterpart, N-Gamio-Zeda” Mark answered. N-Gamio-Zeda calls out more Grongies and charged at the two. Mark is still weak from the fight, leaving Joe to turn into Decade and fight alone. The army of Grongi is too much for Joe to handle alone, especially after the previous fight. Joe struggles in the group hold and N-Gamio-Zeda lets out a loud roar, causing wave of energy that causes Joe to knock to the ground and turned back to normal.

“It’s useless to fight back; this world’s citizens are even greedier than humans, despite their belief of harmony and so called ‘friendship’. It will eventually leave them to arguments, disagreements and even war. Because they are weaklings, they only desire for more power. Their only purpose is to serve us Grongie’s !” N-Gamio-Zeda said.

But Joe stood up with a furious face. “You’re entirely wrong! These six ponies and Mark both put their lives on the line so no one else has to!!” Joe yells confidently.

“What?” the new Grongi leader got curious.

“Although they don’t look like much, they always willing to protect others, even if it means having to put themselves in a peril situation. Because they want to spread the magic of friendship for all that needs it!” The six, Princesses and even Mark looked at Joe and surprise of how he stood up to others.

“If their friendship protects this world, then Mark and I will protect theirs” Joe said as he points at them. “And did you know, it’s because their friends, they shared smiles to each other and they always have a great smile” as Joe looked at them, all of them smile to each other before the New Leader respond.

“Who do you think you are!?” The Leader asked. Joe then placed his Decadriver and takes out a card from his booker and holds it in front of the Leader.

“Just a passing through Kamen Rider.” Joe answered. The Grongi Leader gives a ‘huh’ while Mark has a though in mind ‘guess I’m not the only one who is similar to the original character’.

“ Remember that, Henshin!” he said as he turned into Decade once more.

= KAMEN RIDE: DECADE =

“I’m still weak, but I might have enough strength to fight a little longer” Mark said as he make his belt appear and doing his pose before transforming.

“Henshin” Mark yelled as he turned into Kuuga again. The two of them each fight a group of Grongi, as the Grongi number raised again Joe and Mark than stood back to back, moments later Joe’s booker opens by itself and three cards flew out, the three cards that used to be grey and blurry are now cleared and visible. Joe than insert one of the cards into the driver.

= FINAL FORM RIDE: KU-KU-KUUGA! =

Mark recognized the sound and the meaning “Oh no, I’m not going too turned into a giant metal beetle!” he said in ignorance.

“Well do you have any better ideas?” Joe replied. Mark realized that most of his powers drained of but also realized something else.

“Why can’t you turned into Kabuto and used Clock Up to beat them up?” Mark asked.

“Did you watched Kamen Rider Decade’s first episode? His rider cards are sealed; I’m having the same case. The only card that is available to use now is Kuuga’s” Joe answered Mark, in frustration Mark agrees.

“Fine, just make it quick!” Mark said as he turned his back at Joe.

“This might tickle a bit” Joe said as he place his hands on Marks back, causing his back to glow and revealed a shell like armor out of him as his head turned over his back, causing the rest of his body to turned into a metallic stag beetle like hovercraft, this is known as Kuuga Gouram.

All the Grongi were stunned, even the main six, princesses and Spike have shaken jaws.

“Let’s do this Mark” Joe said as he turned the Rider Booker in sword mode and hoped on the Stag beetle like hovercraft and they both charged at the Grongi army with Mark ramped them and Joe slash them with his sword. Kuuga Gouram flow Joe up high for Joe to slash at the Grongi leader and for the Kuuga Gouram to flew down and slammed the Leader on the ground. The leader stood up and absorbed all of the other Grongie’s and tries to fly away. But Kuuga Gouram managed to catch up to him and grab him with his pinchers and drag him back, Joe then placed one more card for a final attack.

= FINAL ATTACK RIDE: KU-KU-KUUGA! =

Joe then run on the walls of Celestia’s castle and performed a flying kick with his legs glow with a red aura similar to Kuuga’s finishing kick while Mark as Kuuga Gouram flies towards Joe with the Grongi Leader struggling in his pinchers. Joe’s kick the Leader, causing him to covered in fire and the Kuuga Gouram release him as he dropped the Leader hard on the ground. Kuuga Gouram changed back to Kuuga’s base formed and watched N-Gamio-Zeda defeat. Everypony witness them and having their minds blown as they proceed to the Grongi

“You should be ashamed of yourself you monster, you’ve hurt everypony!!” Twilight said with furry. Joe tries to calm her down

“Twilight calm down, he may be a Grongi, but treating him like this doesn’t make us any better than them, besides Grongie’s are used to be humans like us long ago. They just chose the wrong path.” Joe explains.

“And what is your path?” The Grongi asked.

“To keep fighting until this world is safe from a Kaijin’s influence” Joe answered to the leader.

“I could feel a light opened from the darkness Linto!” the leader’s last words before he explode. Everyone can finally show a sign of relief in the afternoon. But Twilight perks at its last words.

“What’s a Linto?” Twilight questions.

“Linto’s were a peaceful tribe of humans, they extinct long ago because of the Grongies, but their descendants live on.” Joe explains and as the two Riders turn back to normal.

“Now can we get something to eat? Its past morning and we haven’t had any breakfast!” Mark said in frustration and everyone gives a laugh and noon approaches.

“We couldn’t thank you enough Kamen Riders” Celestia said.

“We don’t know what we will return thou a favor” Luna said alongside.

“No need for it” Joe answered their question. “Seeing your happiness is the only prize that we need” Mark said to support Joe’s answer. Everypony cheered for the two of them.

“It’s been a very rough day; we need to get some rest.” Twilight explained.

“She’s right, all of those dreadful monsters made my mane and coat more filthy than usual!” Rarity said in discusses.

“Uh, Rarity you still look the same” Rainbow Dash commenting on her looks.

Rarity gives a discuss ‘huh’ and said “Well to the unfashionable one of course.”

“Same old Rarity” Applejack said and started to giggle along with everyone else. “Sorry again that we have to moved our party again Pinkie” said Joe.

“Nah, it’s alright, I’m planned to throw a party when we met all of you Riders.” said Pinkie with her cheerful personality.

“Well anyways, the Grongi leaders have been defeated, but I’ll stay at Canterlot, just in case if there are other threats here” Mark said his decision.

“Good to hear Mark” Joe said and they both did a high five. The six, Spike and Joe heads to the Train station and Mark waves goodbye one last time with Celestia and Luna by his side.

“Wow, I’ve glad that’s over” Fluttershy said with an adorable relief. “

“Yeah. I don’t know when I will ever feel that same excitement again” said Spike.

On their way back to Ponyville, Rainbow just remembered something back at the fight “Hey Joe, how did you turned Mark into a giant bug thing like that?” Rainbow said in curiosity.

“Yeah, what was that!?” Spike supports her point.

“Oh, I forgot to mentioned that Kamen Rider Decade not only has the ability to turned into other Kamen Riders and used their power, he also can turned them into powerful weapons that are an aspect to each of them, like Kuuga his aspect is a stag-beetle” Joe explains as he takes out the very card that turn Mark into Kuuga Gouram from his rider booker. "It's called a Final Form Ride." Joe said as they all give an "Oh" as in for realization.

Moments later Luna uses her magic to raise the moon. When Joe looked out of the window he a mysterious object that looks similar to a bat with gold like skin and red eyes which could be seen by the light of the moon, at first though he said ‘Kivat-bat the third?’ as Joe tries to look closer Twilight asked him a question.

“Joe, which Kamen Rider do you think we will meet next?” Twilight asked. Joe looked at her and tries to think of an answer.

“Well, I don’t know for sure but let’s just hoped that they all have good intensions.” Joe said.

Twilight smirked and looked out the window on a different side of the cart, when he takes a look at the window again. There’s nothing there, which gave him a conclusion ‘maybe it’s just my imagination’ Joe said as he looked at the six happily.

Chapter 5: Symphony of Harmony

Few days after the incident, Joe was starting to make friends all over Ponyville as they all starting to get to know him, despite some are hesitated of his appearances. One day in particular Twilight received a mail, but this mail is an invitation from Cadance. Twilight gathered a meeting back at the castle.

“Okay everypony, you all might want to know why I brought all of you here; Cadance wants us to visit the Crystal Empire!” Twilight informed all of them, they all cheered in excitement. “That’s not all; she wants to meet Joe!” Twilight mentioned.

“Why would Cadance want to meet me?” Joe wondered.

“Maybe she’s heard how awesome you are and want to see you in person!” Rainbow Dash guest.

“I supposed” Joe agrees with her answer as they packed their stuffs and head to the Crystal Empire.

When they reached to the empire, there were more crystal guards than usual. “That’s odd, why are there more guards here?” Twilight said. “Excuse me, but what seemed to be the problem?” Twilight asked one of the guards.

One of the guards responds “Princess Twilight, were glad to see you and you’re friends here. It’s a long story; allow Princess Cadence and Shining Armor to explain.” They said as they lead them inside the Castle.

In the throne room, Cadence and Shining Armor are waiting patiently and their emotions lit up as they saw Twilight.

“Cadence!” Twilight cheered.

“Twilight!” Cadence said with the same mood and hugged each other. “Were glad to see you Twilight and he must be the one who saves Canterlot from another invasion” Cadence said as she noticed Joe.

“Yes, Princess Cadence, name’s Joe Herten, but you can call me Joe” he said as he bow down to Cadence.

“No need for that Joe, you’re a guest here.” Cadence said to spare his loyalty.

“I’ve heard that you’re the one who saved my sister and her friends two days ago and saved Canterlot from being invaded again, right” Shining Armor questioned.

“Yes, although I’ve had some helped back at Canterlot though” Joe replied.

“Well anyways I’m grateful about it, but hearing about you fighting those monsters sounds suspicious to me.” Shining with a smug.

“Shiny, let’s not get too carry away, Celestia and Luna said that he has special powers that we don’t know and he could turned into a..a…a, sorry Joe what does you form called again?” Cadence asks in embarrassment.

“There called Kamen Riders, It means masked warriors. The word rider means that they can drive on high advanced vehicles.” Joe explained.

Shining Armor then stepped up and said “Anyways, we should tell you that there’s a reason why we want you all here in the Crystal Empire!”

“What do you mean Shiny?” Twilight asked in confusion.

“A few days ago, many of the Crystal Ponies reported a strange creature roaming around the empire” Shining Armor explain, cause everypony and even Joe to gaps.

“What does the creature look like?” Twilight asked in concern.

“The creature is similar to those monsters that Celestia and Luna described, only that according to the eyewitness, the creature appears to be made of ‘stained glass’” Shining Armor said in a nervous tone. Joe was the most shocked as he recognized the monster’s description.

“Is there anything else that looked strange liked ponies changing forms or ponies turned into glass?” Joe responds. Giving both Cadance and Shining Armor a curious look.

“No nothing like that, why did you asked?” Cadence said.

“Oh nothing, I though I’ve had a hunch to what the monster is, but from what you said Cadence I guessed I’m wrong” Joe said with a puzzled head.

“And because of the creature we have to-” Shining Armor about to explain before Twilight said “Increase the amount of guards for protection.”

“Sorry if we interrupted you’re day. Were just feel uncomfortable with that creature around and it might could hurt one of my subjects.” Cadence said in an uncertain way.

“It’s alright Cadence, we won’t stop until we found out what the creature is and its intentions. Helping other is what a Kamen Rider does best after all.” Joe said, hopping to bring some light to Cadence. She then gives a smile and they all agreed to search for the creature. They all searched each section of the Empire, asking ponies for witnesses, so far they come to some, but none of them have any leads to the creature. After that, they all meet back at the castle.

“Nothing so far.” Joe said his results with the rest of them nodded in agreement.

“There has to be a lead or some sort” Applejack said while brainstorming and before anyone said something. A crystal pony screams and run pass them as she said.

“It’s the monster! It’s here!!!” causing everypony else to run. Joe and the seven turned to the direction and have a good glance of the creature. The creature is bipedal and it body is more armor like than the Grongi, it’s primary color is orange which looked like a stain glass and it’s shoulders looked wing like. The scariest part is the face looked similar to a moth, having two large antennas like ears, a proboscis like nose and it’s holding a sword like dagger. Joe immediately recognized it.

“A Fangire!” Joe shouted.

“Fangire?” Twilight said.

“Fangire’s are monsters that are made up of stain glass and feed of life energy from others.” Joe explained. The six and Spike stick close each other in horror after hearing Joe’s explanation. Joe immediately transformed into Decade.

"Henshin!" He announced.

= KAMEN RIDE: DECADE=

He charged at the Fangire with his Ride Booker now became a sword and tried to slash it. But the Fangire use it’s sword to deflect his attacks and slashed him back, causing sparks on Joe’s armor form. Joe stepped further away and inserts another card.

=KAMEN RIDE: KUUGA=

This time, the Decadriver emits a strange standby sound as his body glows red as he's now turned into Kuuga with the Decadriver. The Six/Spike and even Cadence and Shining Armor looked with wide open jaws as the observing on the balcony.

“This is incredible, I’ve never seen such fighting skill and power” Cadence said in joy.

“I guess the Princesses stories are more realistic than I granted” Shining Armor now acknowledge Joe’s capabilities. During the fight, Joe as Kuuga managed to disarmed the Fangire’s sword and kicks at it, giving him the time to insert another card.

= FORM RIDE: KUUGA TITAN =

Joe then turned into Kuuga’s Titan form which turned the Fangire’s sword into his titan sword and slash at it. During the fight, on top of the balcony of the castle, a Spider Fangire is crawling on the wall observing Princess Cadence and lands behind them. Cadence let out a scream, drawing attention to the Six and Joe.

“Stay back you monster!” Shining Armor said as he uses his magic last at it. Only to cause the Fangire to hit him on the head knocking him out and grabbed hold of Cadence.

“Cadence!!!” Everyone shouted in fear as Joe tries to come and help. But the Moth Fangire distracts him, leaving him to focus on the fight. As Cadence struggles the hold of the Fangire, a bat with a gold skin, black wings and red eyes come and fights of the Spider Fangire, letting the princess go.

“LEAVE THE PRINCESS ALONE!” the bat yelled. The Spider Fangire losses balance and falls of the balcony and landed on the floor, as the Fangire manage to picked himself up. Cadence headed to Shining Armor and tries to wake him up.

“Shining Armor, wake up, please!” Cadence yelled.

Manage to regain his consciousness “What happened?” Shining Armor eyes widened as he remembered the Fangire “Where is the monster?” he said with concerned.

“It falls of the balcony and a bat saved me!” Cadence explain. Shining Armor is more than surprised

“What do you mean a bat saved you?” he said as Cadence points her hoof at the bat that flies back down to the ground. Everypony and Spike are amazed to witness a bat they have never seen before, but Joe’s though is already to conclusion as he saw the bat.

As on cue a mysterious man came out of the castle doors, the man is wearing a black jacket like vest with a white shirt under it, wearing jeans and a scarf, he also has brunette hair and blue eyes. The man then shouts “Kivat!!”

Joe then though ‘No way is he?!’ and the same bat that saved Cadence flies down and flies around the man.

“Alright, yesha, Kivatte Ikuze” the bat said as he flies around the man before the man grabs the bat with his right hand and place it near his left hand.

GABU

The bat said as it ‘bites’ the man’s hand, causing his skin and cheeks to have a stained glass like pattern and a strange harmonic tone and his waist has chains surrounds him and formed into a belt. The belt is mostly red in color, having three carriages that carry three whistles like objects on each side of the belt and the buckle appears to have a perch (a bird resting stick in a cage) on top. The man than held the bat in front of the Fangire and said.

“Henshin!” as he place the bat upside down on the belt, having the bat hang upside down on the perch causing the belt to echo a wave , which cause his body to turned into a silver like state as it reforms into a different appearance and the silver shattered, revealing a new Kamen Rider.

The Rider’s arms and legs are mostly blacked except for the right leg which has a large silver grieve, covered by chains and two knee pads, with red hands. The chest plate looks red with two silver pieces attach to it like a vest with a red torso and the shoulder pad has bat like wings and tied by chains. And the mask has yellow bat wing shaped like compound eyes with a silver mouth piece and two black fangs and a symbol on his head with the bat hang upside down on the belt.

“I’m Tim Carther” the Rider said preparing a fighting stage “a.k.a: Kamen Rider Kiva!”

“Another Rider?” Twilight said in disbelief with everypony, even Cadence and Shining Armor wide eye to see another kamen rider.

The Spider Fangire charged at him, but Tim dodged it and kicked it to the side. He then jumped over the Moth Fangire who is disarmed by Joe as Decade as Kuuga. With that Tim slides his right leg to lose the Fangire’s balance and punched at the Spider Fangire as it charged to Tim. Joe decides to head on and tried to ask Tim for help. Joe then placed another card in his belt.

= FORM RIDE: KUUGA DRAGON =

As he turned into Kuuga’s dragon form which turned the sword into a blue staff and used it to fight the Moth Fangire.

“Hey there, I don’t know who you are but you were a lot of help!” Joe said.

“It’s nothing really Decade, although I didn’t expect to see another Kamen Rider here in Equestria!” Tim replied. Joe noticed something

“So you know about this land?! Does that mean you knew about the Fandom!?” Joe asked as he handles the Moth Fangire.

Tim then answered “Well, I was forced to watch this ‘girls’ showed by my friends. At first I was like there's no way I’m not gonna watch MLP. But then I got bored and decided to give it a go and that’s when I’m obsessed with it and I reached to season 5 episode 2.” As he fight the Spider Fangire.

“Good to hear you Tim, now let’s finish this!” Joe said when he turned back into Decade and insert his Final attack card in the driver while Tim placed a red whistle like object into Kivat’s mouth.

= FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-DECADE! =

The belt announces, but this time he turned his booker into a sword mode and passes through the holographic cards. When he passed through the final card, his sword then covered with a holographic glow like substance which makes the sword a lot longer and sharper as he slash the Moth Fangire, it let out a loud yell before it explode.

Wake Up!

The bat announce with a whistle like melody as the sky turned from day to night and the moon appears. Tim lifts his right leg up and Kivat detached himself from the belt and flies around his right leg, which then breaks the grieve and the chain that ties it, revealing red bat wings and three green eyes attach on the leg, as soon as the chains are broken Tim jumps up high into the air where he’s visible by the moon light and comes back down to deliver a fatal kick as the impact hits the Spider Fangire and cause a huge crater that has Kiva’s symbol on it. The sky then turned to normal and the two Fangire became multicolored before shattered into glass and orbs of energy floats from their discard body.

“Tim, you know what to do!” Joe reminded him to what happens when the orbs escape. Tim nodded as he aware of it and placed another whistle in Kivat’s mouth.

Castle Doran!

As the bat announces, it plays a horn like noise and the ground near to the Crystal Empire starts to shake and at the region outside the Empire, A dragon/castle like creature came out. Flying to the direction to where the two orbs fly off and eats them and landed on the center of the Empire with everypony screams and run back into their houses.

“It’s alright everypony, he’s a friend” as Tim stood next to it and pat it on the side hopping to make everypony calm down. With that three orbs come out of the dragons mouth and landed in front of Tim and starting to take form. Three monstrous like creatures, one is a blue werewolf like creature with a long horn, the one stand in the middle is a green humanoid like fish and on the right is a huge bulky purple Frankenstein like creature and they pursued to Tim. The main Six, Spike, Cadence and Shining Armor jaws dropped as he command the guards to surround them.

“Guards, get them!!!” Shining Armor said in panicked. As the guards surround the three with their spears held up at them, however Tim then changed back to his civilian formed and backs the guards up.

“Woah, woah there not our enemies, they are the caretakers of the castle and helpful allies, trust me!” Tim said in defense.

“He’s right! They might look terrifying, but they can be really nice and helpful once you get to know them!” Joe said to support him.

“How can we trust you!?” Shining Armor suspicious grows. But Cadence looked at him in annoyance.

“Shiny, don’t forget they were the ones who saved us back there and if they said that these three are allies than we should give them a chance.” Cadence reminded him.

“But!? They’re monsters!!” Shining Armor protest.

“Well we might be monsters, but you can see how much of an ally we are once you know us!” the werewolf respond. The humanoid fish then jumps and giggles in excitement.

“Yeah, I hoped that we will get along someday!” The humanoid fish said and the Frankenstein being bumps it fist on its chest

“Alright, let’s get along”. It said as it press it's fist on it's chest.

Shining Armor still has his doubts before Twilight came up to him, “Shiny, I know this is hard for you to understand, believed me, we were all surprised at first too. But Joe and the other Riders have saved us many times now, if they said that these three are allies than we should agreed with Cadence” Twilight who supports Cadence theory. Shining Armor let out a big huff before he agrees.

“Fine, but I’m keeping my eye on you five, that includes you two too” He said to warn the Arms Monsters and the two riders. “Guards stand down!”He demand and the guards lay low.

“Sorry about that, he can be a little bit carry away sometimes” Cadence apologies to the Riders and the Arms Monsters.

“It’s not much trouble thought Princess; anyways Tim how did you ended up here in Equestria?” Joe asked.

“Yeah, about that” Tim scratch their head in embarrassment. But before they could have explained, Cadence interrupted.

“Let’s discuss all of it inside the castle; we don’t want to cause too much attention.” Cadence said.

“She makes a good point” The blue werewolf agrees as he and the two monsters turned into their human forms. The blue werewolf turns into a man with black hair and a gentlemen suit, the green humanoid fish turn into a young boy with black wearing a sailor like suit and the purple Frankenstein turn into a tall man with brunette hair and wearing a waiter suit. Cadence and Shining Armor are stunned.

“Oh yeah, some monsters can disguise themselves as humans or other creatures to fit in society” Joe explained.

“Anyways let’s go into the castle and we’ll tell you everything.” Tim said

Joe, Tim and the Arms Monsters are amazed at the inside of the Crystal Castle. “This place is even larger and more beautiful than Castle Doran!” Kivat the bat said.

“Castle Doran? You mean that dragon outside?” Twilight said.

“Yeah, Castle Doran is our most comfy and only home to stay.” The humanoid fish said as they arrived to the throne room where Tim explains everything to them.

One explanation later.

“This is uncanny, Mark and I was here for the same reason” Said Joe. “But that still begs a question, why are the Kaijins coming to this world!?”

“Tim, did Wataru said anything else before you came here?” Joe asks.

Tim rubbed his chin as he tried to revive everything he seen and heard back at the voyage. “No nothing in particular actually, but he did said that he let me borrow the Arms Monsters and Castle Doran until the war is over.” Tim said.

Joe then perked up the word ‘war’ “What war?!” he said.

“I’ve no clue, because I’ve only managed to watch Decade episode 5 only, while I’ve watch the rest of the Heisei Riders Series.” Tim answered.

The Main six was about to say something before the Arms Monsters interrupt, “HUH, hate to interrupt but is it alright that you could introduce us to them?” the blue werewolf humanoid in his human form said.

“Oh sorry about that” Tim said as he introduced the three of them, “This is Garulu, the proud Wolfen (blue werewolf), Basshaa the Merman(humanoid fish) and Dogga the Franken. Both of them are the last of their kind, the rest of them are all extinct because of the Fangires.” Tim explained, leaving some of the Main Six, Cadence and even Shining Armor a little empathy for them.

“We’re sorry; hearing that you’re the last of your kind does sound quite lonely.”Fluttershy said with a softly delicate voice.

But Basshaa still has some joy “It’s alright Miss Pegasus, it’s true that it can be lonely, but we still have plenty of friends right guys!” Having both Garulu and Dogga nodded in agreement.

“But you can call me Jiro” Garulu said.

“And I prefer my friends to call me Ramen” Basshaa said in delight.

“Call me Riki” Dogga said proudly.

Tim then asked the main six “Are you all okay with making friends with us, even though they are monsters?” The six nodded.

“Yeah! Just because they are scary doesn’t mean they are evil!” Pinkie said.

“Pinkie’s right y’all you shouldn’t judge somepony by their appearance!” Applejack said.

“That’s right, you might have a disturbing appearance, but you both quite have a taste in clothing.” Rarity said and Fluttershy adds one more “Yeah, everypony can get lonely, even monsters” she said.

After that they can heard ponies screamed outside the castle, when they came out , they saw several Fangires rampaging and one is about to use its fangs to drain a Crystal Pony, but Ramen turns into his merman form and blast a burst of bubble powerful enough for the Fangire to let go and catch the pony.

“There you go” Ramen manages to take the pony to safety.

“Well now that we’re all here let’s take them out!” Tim said as he called Kivat again and allows him to bite his hand again. Joe placed the Decadriver on his waist and the Arms Monsters turn into their monstrous forms and took a battle stand.

GABU

The same melody played and Tim’s belt appeared on his waist and Jim takes his rider card out and they both yelled “Henshin”. Tim placed Kivat under the belt and Joe inserts the card in.

= KAMEN RIDE: DECADE =

The two are now in Rider form and they and the Arms Monsters charged at the Fangires. Joe shift his case into a gun and blast at the Fangires, Tim punched and kicked at them, Jiro uses his raw strength, agility and sharp claws to slash them, Ramen blast his burst of bubble at the Fangire and Riki threw the Fangire at each other. Then Tim decides to show everypony the powers of the Arms Monsters.

“Hey Shining Armor, I’ll show you how helpful the Arms Monsters are!” Tim said as he placed a whistle that has a wolf head and place it in Kivat’s mouth.

Garulu Saber

A whistling melody played, causing Jiro’s body to glow in a blue aura and turned into a small silhouette statue and flies towards Tim. Tim grabbed the silhouette with his left hand, which it unfolds itself into a sword with a wolf’s head on the holder, causing chains to wrap around his left arm and torso. The chains shatter, revealing a new blue arm and torso and along with Kiva’s and Kivat’s eyes now turned blue, this form is Garulu Form. Tim gives out a snarl before pursue on the Fangires. The Fangires tried using their weapons to hold him of, but Tim who now’s under Garulu’s influence had great strength, agility and reflexes. Slashing every Fangire in his path with the sword and doing a pose before opening the wolf’s mouth on the sword, causing a powerful howl to make most of the Fangire fly to a wall. Before some of the Fangire regaining their footing, Tim placed the blade of the sword in Kivat’s mouth.

Garulu Bite

Kivat announces, which cause night time again and the moon appears. But this time, Kiva’s mouth piece opens and he placed the sword’s handle in the mouth, Kiva does a different pose with the sword’s handle in the mouth. Kiva rushed to the weaken Fangires and jumped into the air and spinning on the side as he falls down, the sword slash is powerful enough to destroyed two Fangires at the same time, creating a wolf symbol in front of them as they explode and turned into orbs. As more Fangire charging at him, he placed a green whistle in Kivat’s mouth.

Basshaa Magnum

Causing a trumpet like call as Ramen begins to glow and turned into a different silhouette which flies and landed on Tim’s right hand, causing the same process to happened this time the silhouette unfolds itself into a gun as Kiva’s torso became green and his new green right arm is formed as his former blue arm turned to normal and his and Kivat’s eyes became green, he's now in Basshaa Form. Kiva then fires multiple water bombs at the Fangires as he placed the head of the gun in Kivat’s mouth.

Basshaa Bite

The same process happens again, but this time, the moon is a half moon and the ground turns into water as Kiva raised his gun up, causing all of the water to formed around him and into the gun, as he points the gun at the Fangires and blast a basketball side water bomb, the bomb explodes as it made contact with the Fangires and cause three more Fangires to be destroyed. Tim then placed one more whistle, this whistle has a large purple fist and placed in Kivat’s mouth.

Dogga Hammer

This time a deep horn melody played as Riki turned into a larger silhouette than the two others and forms a large hammer with a large purple fist for the head and the long handle for Kiva to grab with both of his hands, allowing chains to crawled both of his arms and his torso. The chains shattered to reveals his arms are now in purple gauntlets and his torso is wearing bulky purple chest armor, he's now in Dogga Form. He then drags the hammer and slammed at most of the Fangires and even enough to make some Fangires to fly into the air. He then places the handle on Kivat’s mouth for a final attack.

Dogga Bite

Kivat announce as the day turned night and the moon appears again, this time purple lighting charging and surrounds them as Tim opened a handle on the hammer, which cause the fist to open, revealing a large eye which create a field of electricity that paralyzed most of the Fangire and the hammer generates an electric holographic charge that he swung around and destroying most of the Fangires. All of the orbs are now consumed by Castle Doran.

As the last remaning Fangires pursued them, Tim then placed the three fuestel(whistles) in Kivat’s mouth one by one.

Garulu Saber

Basshaa Magnum

Dogga Hammer

As all the three Arms Monsters turned into silhouette and been absorbed by Kiva, his left arm now turned into Garulu’s, while his right arm turned into Basshaa’s arm and Dogga’s armor chest plate is formed on his torso, he's now ascend to DoGaBaKi Form. He then uses Dogga’s hammer to slammed at the Fangires and he hold’s the Basshaa magnum that causes the ground to turned into water for him to skate and fire at the Fangires and he then uses the Garulu saber to slash at them and fires at the same time. He then stopped and did the same posed he did when he used ‘wake up’ and the grieve on his right leg then opens to reveal the wings by itself and he jumped and delivered a more powerful kick at the last Fangire which cause the symbol to appear in energy and destroyed it.

“Dude, are you trying to take my spot light?” Joe said smugly.

Tim snuffed and replied “Haven’t we all?” They all felt joy as the Arms Monsters came out of him and Tim turned back to Kiva’s base form. Then they witness a guy with the same brunette hair as Tim and wearing a white west with a strange UFO like creature beside it Tim recognized the person.

“Notoshi!” Tim said in shock.

“You know him?” Joe asked. Tim gives a gulp in the throat before he answered.

“Yeah, he’s my brother from Japan”, Joe wide eyed and looked at Notoshi and even more shocked as he recognized the creature that is flying beside him.

“What is that thing?” Spike said in panic.

“A sagarc!” Joe answered.

“What do you mean, what is this sargac?” Shining Armor said. Notoshi then gives a unnerving grin as he said

“Does this answer your question” as the creature place itself on his waist and forming belt straps and he insert a stick like handle in the outlet, the creature then respond.

“Henshin” the Sargac said in an alien like voice as the blue circle spins around, it causes a blue wave that turns his body in a state that is similar to how Tim turns into Kiva and as the form shattered, it reveals armor. The armor is similar to Kiva, but more fancy and the torso is more armor like with crystal declarations. With his legs are decorated with spine like ropes and appears to be wearing a white vambrace. His shoulder pads are more loyal like and his eyes are similar to Kiva but blue and his head wears a silver crown and the stick he’s holding now turned into a sword like rapier.

“I’m Notoshi Carther or rather Kamen Rider Saga!” as he points his rapier at them.

“Wow, two new Rider’s in one day, how cool is that!?” Spike said as he runs to Notoshi, but not before Tim stopped him.

“Wait Spike, we forgot to tell you that not all Kamen Riders are heroes’, some are villainous too!” Tim warned.

“Oh come on, just because the original Saga is once evil doesn’t mean that I’m evil.” Notoshi said. But Joe and Tim aren’t amused.

“Is that so huh? Well how are you able to use Saga’s powers? Only a Fangire could use it!” Joe said which makes the Six, Spike, Cadence and Shining looked at Notoshi in cautiousness.

Notoshi raised an eye brow before confess. “Fine, you got me red handed I’m a Fangire. But that’s no exception for you Tim. Kiva’s power is supposed to only be used by Fangire’s too.” Notoshi turns the table at Tim and the ponies and Spike starred at Tim back in shocked.

Joe and Tim already knew about Kiva’s powers so Tim said. “True, I’m also a Fangire. But before I came to this world, I was a normal human. Besides Wataru chose me to be Kiva because my personality is similar to his, meaning I’m kind and courageous. Unlike you ruthless monsters!” Tim said to back fire at Notoshi which cause him to be annoyed.

“Silence!” Notoshi said as he charged at Tim with his rapier and Tim used his Garulu sword to fight. But Twilight and the rest are not amused with their actions and stepped in.

“Stop, why are you fighting!? You’re both Kamen Rider’s right?” Twilight said with her friends supporting her argument.

“Yeah, fighting is cool sometimes but not always, especially when you are fighting amongst each other!” Rainbow said.

“That’s right, fighting each other don’t accomplish anything. Besides you guys are brothers right!” Applejack said.

“Only weaklings said that, this proves how naïve and worthless you ponies are and a little girls show like this are for girls and sissy’s only!” Notoshi denied their speech as he continues fighting with Tim.

“Notoshi why can’t Fangires ever get along with other creatures like they used to be with humans thanks to Wataru!” Tim said with little succeed as Notoshi replied.

“Because it’s pointless, Fangire’s are monsters which design to feed of others and other creature’s fear we Fangires!” as he roar at Tim. Tim struggle to use his sword from his previous fight and Notoshi turns his rapier into a whip which he uses it to struck Kivat out of the belt and unconscious and cause Tim to turned into his civilian form.

“Kivat!” Tim said as he saw Kivat nocked out of the belt and flew unconsciously. But before Tim could grab Kivat, Notoshi grabbed him by his shirt. Joe and the Arms Monsters charged at him, only to be distracted by more Fangires.

“I’ll give you a chance, if you could just drain the life out of these ponies then I could consider you as my brother once more, but if not then you get my point of view.” Notoshi said as he tossed Tim at the ponies as they backed up and Tim stares at them, which cause his Fangire instinct to rise with his Fangire skin to appears and two Fangs appeared in front of them.

“That’s right, let the Fangire blood take over you!” Notoshi said. But before anything have happened, Tim stops and turned to Notoshi.

“Notoshi, I rather not do it” Tim answered which cause Notoshi to gripped his fist in anger “I should have known that’s your answered. You’ve always been a disgrace to our family!” Notoshi punched Tim in the face and he fell down. The ponies and Spike looked at him in concerned.

“Tim, please there’s no need for you to stood up like this!” Twilight said. Tim stood up and asked the six.

“Twilight, do you remember what I said back at the castle?” Twilight and the six remembered with them agreeing being friends with him.

“Does this means were friends, even though I almost hurt you?” Tim said. Everypony smiles at him.

“Of course, we wouldn’t look down at you just because of that.” Twilight said.

“Yeah, even if you are a monster, you are an awesome one!” Rainbow said as the six proceed to give Tim a warming hug. Notoshi then stunned by this action.

“Impossible, how can you ponies make friends with a monster like that?” Notoshi said before Joe explained.

“Because the six believes, they believed that everyone needs a friend, even a Fangire!”. Joe said to what he believes.

“That’s preposterous; it’s just a worthless dream!” Notoshi said, but Joe is still not convinced.

“Despite that they believe, you have fall down to despair and could only think of one path of life for yourself. But these ponies, they have a more positive purpose and that purpose is to spread the magic of friendship for everyone!” Tim then hears everything and calls for Kivat once more.

"Kivat!" Tim yells and Kivat manage to regain his consciousness and flies to Tim.

“Alright Tim, let do this one more time!! GABU!” Kivat said as Tim said HENSHIN and turned Tim into Kiva. Kiva then charged at Notoshi, but Notoshi puts his fuestle in Sarga’s belt.

Wake Up!

The Sargac then announce in an alien voice and a spooky Halloween melody is play as Notoshi placed the bottom of his rapier in the insert outlet, causing an electric line connecting between the belt and the bottom of the rapier’s handle, which generates and charging the rapier to glow like a light saber and the day turned night, but the moon is a red crescent instead and the electricity is formed by the rapier causes Kiva’s symbole to appear in the sky. Tim tries to get away, but Notoshi then extents his rapier to pierce Tim in the chest, everyone gasp in horror. Notoshi then jumped into the symbol and camed out at the other way with his arm gripping the handle and lift Tim of the ground and trace his fingers on the whip which cause Tim’s armor to explode massive amount of sparks and screams in pain as the whip release him as Tim falls to the ground in a lifeless motion.

The six, Cadence and Shining starts a light sob at Tim’s lifeless body. Cadence looked at him furiously “How could you do that to your own brother!?”.

Notoshi then shrugged as he replies “Weaklings like him shouldn’t deserved to be my brother”. This cause Shining to charged at him in anger, however Notoshi easily grabbed him and flew him and landed near to Cadance and the Six.

“Shining” Cadence said as she runs towards him, but she then grabbed at the horn by Notoshi.

“Let them go!” Twilight yelled but little to no effort as Notoshi dragged both Cadence and Shining to a wall.

"Leave them alone you jerk!" Spike said with an angry expression as he picks up a crystal and throws it at Notoshi, however this cause Notoshi’s attention to Spike.

“So you wanna play hero huh?” Notoshi said as he lets Cadence and Shining Armor go and heads closer to Spike. Spike realized that it’s a red flag move as he breathes fire at Notoshi, but proves to have no effect as he in his Rider Form.

“Spikey Wikey!!” Rarity screamed at what will potentially happened to Spike. Tim manages to regain consciousness and witness Notoshi’s actions, which ignites fury within him.

“STOP IT!!!” as he yells Castle Doran than opens his mouth, letting a small golden dragon flew out of it.

The dragon makes a strange call as it flies towards Tim. “TENSION FORTISSIMO!” the dragon said as it arrives.

“Tatsulot!” Tim recognized the creature and he stood up, the gold dragon then flies to break the chains on Kiva’s shoulder pads, causing the shoulder pads to spread like bat wings and several small gold bats flies out of the wings. When Tim raise his left hand up, the dragon then attached itself to Tim’s left forearm and yell out the world.

“HENSHIN!” The bats then flies towards Tim and his right grieve spread its wings. The bats then covered up his whole body, giving his armor a more bulky gold color. When the bats are all fused with Tim, he flew his left arm to reveal a fiery cape as he now in a new form.

The new form primary color is gold with his right grieve is replaced with two equal gold slim grieves on both his left and right leg, wearing silver shoes and silver knee pads looks like a footprint with claws. His thigh is now protected by a piece of armor and this chest armor is bulkier with gold and the red torso is more dominant with bat shaped wings, his shoulder pads had a sharper curve and wearing two gold vambraces with the dragon attached on his left forearm. The mask looks more menacing with more outstanding lower jaws, the compound eyes is now red and looks more vampire like in design with a gold crescent moon now on top of his forehead.

The main 6, Cadence and Shining are jaw dropped at his new form, especially Rarity with a diamonds on her eye’s “HEEEHHHEEE, that armor looks stunning!!! Although it's slightly tacky” Rarity comments as the ponies stares dagger at her, she sighs in embarrassment.

Tim then walked over to Notoshi as he cornered Spike, Tim tapped on Notoshi’s shoulder and as Notoshi turned his head. Tim punched him, hard enough for him to fly through a crystal house. Tim then turned to Spike “Are you alright?”

Spike stares in awe at Tim’s new form. “This is Kamen Rider Kiva’s most powerful form, Emperor Form” Joe explained to the ponies. Tim then faced at Notoshi as he tries to regain his footing, but not before Tim grabbed the dragon’s head on his forearm and pulls a trigger on it, letting a slot like mechanism to appear on the dragon’s back and a line Kiva’s symbol and the dragon yell.

"WAKE UP! FEVER!" With that, Kiva’s body then seem to have heat waves and he jumps up high into the air, then Kiva’s symbol appear behind him and as he stretch his legs to perform a kick, two fang like wings emerge from his foreleg and as his feet makes contract on Saga, the two fangs stab him multiple times as they both fly straight to the Castle. Kiva’s symbol doesn’t appear, but Notoshi froze as Tim lets go of him and walks away, with that Notoshi exploded. As the Fangire charged at Tim, a sword flies out of Castle Doran and flies into Tim’s grasp, the sword’s blade appears to made of crystal and a black and gold line handle and a with a bat like creature as the sword’s hilt. The weapon is called the Zanvat Sword.

Tim then moved the hilt upwards, causing a red glow to appear on the blade, when he pulls the hilt downwards, the blade glows even brighter and he slashes the sword, creating a powerful red energy wave that destroys all the Fangires and their cores. As Tim though the battle had ended, he cancel the transformation with Kivat and Tatsulot flies above him. Joe, the ponies and Spike and the Arms Monsters run towards him.

“Wow that is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen!!” Rainbow squeal. But just as appear that the battle is over, Notoshi emerged from the smoke, injured but survived and his Sargac is destroyed.

“You weaklings will pay for that!!” Notoshi yelled as he reveals his Fangire skin on his cheeks and he transformed into his Fangire form. The form is more exoskeleton like armor with his left, right arm with shield like armor and the torso is shield like and his face is similar to a beetle. He reveals to be a Beetle Fangire. “You all will parish with me!” Notoshi said as he uses his whip to stunned Tatsulot, causing it to be paralyzed.

“Tatsulot!!!” Tim shouted as he tried to wake Tatsulot up.

“That’s a dirty trick you dang bug!” Applejack said.

“This is a battle; you got to do anything to survive!” Notoshi said.

“This guy is stubborn!” Shining Armor said.

HENSHIN!

Tim and Joe yells and turned into their Rider forms once more.

The two both fought Notoshi, Joe uses his sword to block most of Notoshi’s strikes while Tim tried to fight back. Notoshi then pushes Joe to a nearby wall and caught him with his sword

“Isn’t this what you want to see? Your brother who can achieve something that you can’t!?” Joe said.

“Fool, who are you!?” Notoshi said.

“I’m just a passing through Kamen Rider, remember that!” Joe said as he manages to push and slashes his sword at Notoshi. Notoshi then flies up on top of the Crystal Castle.

“Tim, I just realized something, if he’s the King of the Fangire and if he’s gone, then the Fangires have no rules to keep them control.” Joe said.

But Tim gives a straight answer “Don’t worry, as long as I’m here. There’s no way that anymore ponies will get hurt because of them.” Tim said with pride.

“If only we have a giant arrow so we can blast at him.” Pinkie said with her concern. As on cue, Joe’s booker opens and three cards flies out and landed on his hand, the three cards then emerge with color.

Joe smirks under his masked. “Maybe we do have one.” Joe said, making the main six, Spike, Cadence, Shining, Tim and the Arms Monsters lift an eyebrow. “Guys, do you remember how I turned Mark into a Gouram. I’m going to do a similar thing with Tim here.” He said. Tim then realized what Joe said and responds .

“Wait, WHAT!?” which is too late as Joe placed his card inside the Driver.

= FINAL FORM RIDE: K-K-KIVA! =

“HEY, I didn’t agree to this!” Tim said.

“Well, the only cards are available are yours and Kuuga’s, but since he’s not here than do you have any better ideas?” Joe answered.

Tim then stubbornly said “Alright, but it better not be painful” as he turned his back on Joe.

“This might tickle a bit.” Joe said as he placed his hand on Tim’s back, which cause a giant upside down Kivat face to appear as Tim body levitates and turned upside down, making the giant Kivat face right side up. With wings appear on his legs to form a bow like structure and a giant arrow similar to Kiva’s right grieve appears, forming a giant bow and arrow called the Kiva Arrow and Joe grab a handle from the arrow. The form causes everypony to be amazed, especially Cadence and Shining Armor. Joe placed one more card in the driver.

= FINAL ATTACK RIDE: K-K-KIVA! =

Joe then points and aiming the arrow at Notoshi “What the!?” he said as he was shocked at Kiva’s new form. Joe pulls the handle which causes the arrow to break the chains and reveals it's wings and Kivat to shout.

“Kivat! ikuze! ”(Similar to Kiva’s Wake Up ability) and Joe release the handle to blast a magenta like energy towards Notoshi. The blast breaks Notoshi wings as he plummets to the ground, causing a huge explosion.

As the smoke clears, Notoshi now in his human form is breathing heavily as he said, “Tim, do you believed you could stop us!?” Tim then looked at his brother with a small smile as his change back.

“Yes, I’m your brother after all.” Tim answered, Notoshi faintly smile back.

“You just don’t want him to be like you, like when you guys still live back at our world right?” Joe said in wonder.

“What do you mean?” Twilight asked.

“My brother used to committed many crimes back then; he goes to prison several times when I was young. You are afraid that I’m going to go to the same path, especially now that were Fangire’s right?” Tim explained.

Notoshi gives a slight nod and then Tim ask Spike if he could picked a nearby violin for him, as Spike grabs and gives the violin to Tim, Tim examines it before playing it and plays the same melody and note as the original Kamen Rider Kiva, Wataru Kurenai for his brother before he explodes with stain glass flew everywhere.

Moments later, everypony cheered for them as they stopped the threat. “Hey everypony, don’t forget Spike the brave and glorious, who saves Cadence and Shining Armor from the villain by distracting him long enough for me to save them!” Tim said trying to give some of his glory to Spike and the Crystal Ponies also cheered for him.

“Wow, what a day!” Cadence said.

“We don’t know if we can thank you enough” Shining said.

“No worries everypony, I’ll try my best to stop the Fangires from hurting anymore of you, your happiness is all I need.” Tim said with confidence and stares at the sky with a slightly sad expression of the memories of his brother. He won't be able to see him again now that he's gone.

“But why is your brother involved all of this?” Fluttershy ask.

“We’re not sure, but we hope that the answer will be in the near future.”Tim said. The six, Spike and Joe beg goodbye to Cadence, Shining, Tim and the Arms Monsters as they leave the Crystal Empire.

As the main 6, Spike and Joe walked past the Empire’s entrance. A strange wave’s forming at a nearby crystal house. Tim saws the waves as it forming a figure in the reflection on the crystal building but the figure has no object to cast on the reflective surface of the building. The figure wears a red suit, a silver torso with a hint of black on the back, with two black shoulder pads. His shoes are black with black leather like grieve, silver knee pads. His belt is silver with a black buckle with a dragon head on; on his left forearm is a dragon head/gauntlet like device. The mask is a vent like design with red eyes and a dragon logo on his head.

“Ryuki?” Tim recognizes the rider as the Rider disappears in thin air. Just as Tim proceeds to it, Cadence noticed his strange behavior.

“Is everything alright Tim?” Cadence said with a hint of concerns.

“Yes, everything is fine” Tim said as he had thoughs going on his head and sigh of what he just saw as he and the Arms Monsters head back to Castle Doran and Cadence and Shining Armor head back the Crystal Castle to call the day of.

Chapter 6: Cards of the Undead

After episode 4 where Tank has to hibernate all winter. Spring is coming back and Joe decided to help the ponies for another Winter Wrap Up. “Common Rainbow, I know how it feels to lose a pet, but I can assure you that Tank will be fine now that we are about to prepare for another Winter Wrap Up!” Joe said in enthusiasm.

“I guess you’re right Joe, I’m might be overreacting again.” Rainbow said.

“But seriously though, you really want to spend that much time with Tank huh?” Joe said and Rainbow just gives a sheepish giggle, leaving him to think how can one small desire cause a catastrophic season change, but the two giggle as they headed to town square where everypony and especially Mayor Mare waits for them.

“Now everypony, with Joe as our new guest helps us with this year Winter Wrap Up, the process will go along smoother.” Mayor Mare said.

“Alright everypony, I’m going to speculate all the teams with Twilight to make sure if everything is in order, got it!” Joe said with everypony agrees, “YES SIR!”

“Alright, move out!” Joe said with everypony in town do their part in Winter Wrap Up. As day became night, everypony manages to brought spring earlier than before along with Joe’s understanding of Winter Wrap Up from the previous seasons. As the morning dawn reaches, spring has arrived in time.

“Good work everypony!” Joe said to cheered everypony in town. As everypony pack their tools and equipments away. A strange call can be heard nearby and when everypony turned their heads, they screamed in fear and run from another Kaijin pursuing to the town. The monster is a corrupted humanoid bat with black leather as armor and red hair, the strangest part is that the creature wears a belt or some sort. Joe then shouts as he noticed its identity.

“A Bat Undead!” Joe said with the main six and Spike looks at him.

“Undead?” Twilight said. Joe then explains the six about the Undead kaijin.

“Undead’s are ancient monsters created by a powerful entity to fight each other to determine which of its kind will rule the world. Unlike Celestia and Luna, they are immortal !” His explanation cause the six to shiver in fear, but Joe explains one positive side.

“Luckily, Undeads can be destroyed by Kamen Riders that are not familiar to them.” Joe said as he place his Decadriver on his waist and transforms. “Henshin” Joe said as he inserts the card into the driver.

=KAMEN RIDE: DECADE=

Joe turns into Decade and charged at the bat Undead, turning his booker into a sword again and slash the Undead, as the Undead tries to slash him with its claws. Joe smirked under is mask. “How about bat versus bat?” Joe said as he blocked it and inserts another card into the driver.

=KAMEN RIDE: KIVA=

The driver announces as the transformation sequence is the same as Kiva’s and he turned into Kiva. Which gave everyone an awe stare as he charged at the Bat Undead, the Undead tries to use its claws again. But Joe throws another card into the driver before that.

=FORM RIDE: KIVA GARULU=

As the Garulu silhouette came out of the driver and he grabs it with his left hand, turning into Kiva’s Garulu Form, who then trace his finger on the blade of the sword and slashing the Undead before giving it the chance to attack, sparks flew out of it as he continues his assault with the monster. The Undead then flies into the air and tries to do a dive bomb at Joe, but Joe quickly reacted and placed another card into the Driver.

=FORM RIDE: KIVA BASSHAA=

The Garulu silhouette disappears as the Basshaa silhouette came out of the driver and Joe catch it with his right hand, turns into Kiva’s Basshaa Form and fires multiple water bombs at the Undead, causing it to lose focus and falls to the ground. Just as things are going smoothly, another Undead appeared and rampage in the town, causing everypony to run all directions as the Six and Spike are trying to keep the other Undead away from the civilian. When Joe blast the Bat Undead multiple times, the Undead collapse in exhaustion which cause it’s belt to open up. As Joe about to place his final attack card in the driver, a different card flies past Joe and the edge of the card stucks on the Undead's chest, which seals the Undead inside and flies back to whoever throws at it from the beginning. Joe saw the card flies back to its owner.

The owner of the card appears to be an Italian man who is about the same age as him, wearing a sweater and jeans. The man then pursues to Joe as he is sigh with his action.

“Look these are Undeads you are dealing, let the real professionals handle them.” The Italian man said as he took out a belt buckle, the belt buckle looks more basic and yet more mechanical and man made with silver lining, a black line in the middle and a transparent glass like insert-er.

He then held out a card, the card back is red with the diamonds, clubs, spades and hearts arrange in a snow flake like design and the front of the card has a beetle like creature with an spade on its back, the cards color appears to be old, but the texture seems new, with the word ‘CHANGE’ on the side and it’s design is similar to a playing card. The man inserts the card into the belt buckle into the glass like inserter, when he place the buckle on his waist, card like objects to appear from the buckle and reacted to the buckles other end, forming a belt strap.

Joe then noticed it and sigh for insurance. “Yep, Blade is next.”

A strange standby sound is emitted by the belt as the man does his pose by raise his right arm up with his index finger stretch out and yells out “Henshin” as the man then grabs the handle from the belt with his right hand.

♠ Turn Up ♠

The belt announce as it projects a large blue rectangular projection with the same beetle on the card. The man run towards the projector, as he passes the projector he turns into a Kamen Rider. This Rider suit is blue with silver piece of armor attached on the foreleg, forearm. With his armor chest has a spade on the lower part of the armor and two shoulder pads had spade like design. The belt has a holder for a sword and the mask has a grey helmet with a horned like curve, with an insect like mouth and two red eyes. The Rider then said his name.

“I’m Kamen Rider Blade!” he shouts as he charged at the Undead. Twilight and the six witness in astonishment at a new Rider.

“Okay seriously though, how many of you Kamen Riders fella’s are out there?” Applejack said.

“I’m still trying to find a straight answer.” Joe said as they witness Blade fighting the Undeads. The Rider uses his sword to slash the Undead and opens up his sword to reveal his set of cards, he select one card and scan it on the sword’s scanner.

♠Beat♠

The weapon announces as a blue holographic rectangular image of a lion emerged and absorbs into his chest, causing his right hand to ignite a fire like energy which he punches the Undead, which causes it to fall down. Before the Undead could regain its consciousness, Blade slides three more cards in the sword scanner.

♠Kick-Thunder-Mach♠

Blade then placed his sword on the ground as three holographic cards appeared around him and absorbs into him.

♠Lightning Sonic♠

He then jumps into the air as his right leg is surged with electricity and flies down with incredible speed, as his feet makes contact, the Undead to explode. The Undead’s belt opens which gives Blade a chance to throw a blank card at the monster, the card’s edge attach to the Undead and absorbs it, sealing the monster in the card and it flies back at his hand. He then cancels his transformation as the blue rectangular hologram past through him.

“Hey, do you have good intentions?” Joe said as he presumed to Blade.

“I don’t want to have any business with these little ponies and Bronies like you.” He sighs as he walks into the path lead him to the Everfree Forest.

“What was that all about?” Rainbow said.

“Looks like he’s the first Kamen Rider we meet that is not a fan of you girls.” Joe said in theory.

“AWWW…” Pinkie said with a sad tone “Were just trying to welcome him.”

“I’ll go after him, he may act like a jerk, but he can be a powerful ally. Stay here I’ll be back” Joe said as he rush into the Everfree Forest and finds the man.

“What did I told you, I don’t like that stupid fandom!” the man warned him. But Joe ignores the warning.

“Look man, I know that some or if not most people may have a problem with the Brony Fandom, but that’s not important now, I want to know a thing or two about you!” Joe said which cause the man to be irritated even more.

“And what’s in it for me?” The man said.

“Listen, I can tell that you’re here because you’re toy buckle glows and sends you to a void where you meet Kenzaki Kazuma who tells you to protect this world as Kamen Rider Blade right?” Joe said which brought the man’s attention.

“How did you know that?” The man said.

“Listen man, I came to this world for the same purpose and there are others here too and they have the same explanation. Although I think you’re the first Rider we met that is not a Brony” Joe said.

The man then shrugged “So what? I’m not going to be friends with Bronies!” The man said.

“No, like I said, I know that some people have problems with the fandom and I’m ok with it. But you don’t have to be friends with me; all I need to know is that did Kazuma say anything else in particular?” Joe said. But the man anger grows as he grabbed Joe’s shirt.

“Listen punk, if you’re not going to leave me alone. I’m going to make you wish that you never even came to his girly world.” The man said with an aggressive tone.

“Whoa, fine I’ll leave you jeez, but if you ever feel like you’re lost then come with me.” Joe said as he push the man to let him go and exits the Everfree Forest. The man then lay down on one of the trees as a tear drop came out of his eye ‘Mother, Father, everyone will I ever see you again?’ he though.

Joe exits the Everfree Forest as he saw an Undead trashing the town. Its body is mostly black with spikes, but it’s right arm is similar to an orchard of some sort, it’s head has peddle like mane with its red humane face and a horn on its forehead. It’s an Orchard Undead, by using its vines and controlling the plants and constrict many ponies.

“Why, of all times!” Joe puffed in frustration as he placed the Decadriver on to his belt and turns into Decade. “Henshin!”

=KAMEN RIDE: DECADE=

Joe uses his booker in gun form to fire at the Undead, but little effect as the Undead is more powerful than the other two and using its other face behind its head to blow a mist at Joe. Joe struggles in the mist to find the Undead, but only to be strangled by its vines in the process.

“Joe!” The main six saw the fight and head towards him.

“What should we do?” Fluttershy said and Pinkie Pie pope up behind her.

“Why don’t we use a bug spray? Bug sprays can be bad for plants too right?” Pinkie said as she takes out a giant bug spray, having the rest of the five too look at her confuse, but decided to go with it

“Well, that monster does make orchards have an ugly reputation despite their glamorous looks.” Rarity said in to agree with Pinkie. Twilight then levitates the spray to spray at the Undead. But the spray has no affect what so ever.

“You fools, do you actually think a small thing like that could get rid of my beautiful plants? My plants are beyond than anything you can imagine.” the Orchard Undead said as it strangles everyone else in the town, Spike tries to breath fire to burn the plants, but it has no effect as to these are no ordinary plants. Just as the situation got worse, the man than runs out of the Everfree Forest, who insert the card into the buckle and the belt straps appear and he does his pose while running.

“Henshin” The man yelled as he grabbed the handle of the buckle that flips the card to replace it with a rectangular red picture which has a spade on top.

♠Turn up ♠

The buckle announces as the rectangular hologram appears again and allowing the man to pass through it to turn into Kamen Rider Blade. Blade then charge at the plants, cutting it with his sword and releasing some ponies with it.

“Hey, I though you said that you don’t like the fandom?” Joe asks Blade while being constrict by the plants.

He then sight at Joe “As much as I hate to say this, but that does not mean that I’m going to sit here and watch all of you suffered. I’m a Kamen Rider after all and the least thing I can do is to stop the Undeads.” The man said as he then roar at the Undead and tries to slash it, but the Orchard Undead sprays it’s mist at the man, blinding him and binds his arms and legs with its vines. Luckily Blade manages to grab his sword and slash the vines before being completely constrict.

“This is getting turf! I better take things up a notch.” Blade said as he took out a black rectangular device with some silver and gold trimming and has a glass insert-er like the belt buckle, he place the device on his left forearm and press a button on the device to open up three more cards and he took two of the cards. He inserts one of the cards inside the glass inserter and it announce.

♠ABSORB QUEEN♠

Blade then takes the other card to scan it on the line scanner and it announce

♠FUSION JACK♠

The surface of the device is the replace by a red rectangular piece and the spade which has an eagle symbol on it. With that, gold feathers surrounds Blade as a golden eagle appears in front of him and begins to merge with Blade, causing a golden light to emit. As the light dies down, Blade is now in a new form, his chest and helmet is now replaced with gold, with the spade on the chest armor has a symbol of an eagle, along with red wings with silver lining that reach to his foreleg and his sword is now gold, with a longer and sharper curve. The form is called Jack Form, Blade then opens up his sword to reveals his set of cards again and takes two and close the set. He then scans the cards through the line.

♠Thunder-Slash♠

Blade then does a pose before two holographic image of the cards now absorbed into his sword and the sword announce

♠Lightning Slash♠

His wings spreads out and electricity charges in his sword as he took off in the air and flies back down to deliver a powerful electric slash at the Orchard Undead, causing it to scream in pain and collapses to open its belt. Blade then throws the card at it to seal it and the card flies back in Blades hand. The plants let everyone go and disintegrate as the Undead is defeated, everypony cheered at the new Rider. But Blade walks back to the Everfree Forest

“Hey wait, we haven’t even thrown a party to congratulate you for saving the town!” Pinkie said.

Blade then turns his head back at them “Like I said, I’m not a fan of yours.” Blade said as he cancels his transformation and leaves, everypony slowly stopped cheering as they saw him walking back to the forest. But before anyone could say anything, an explosion appears to where Blade is waking, driving him to fly towards them and landed on the ground.

“Hey, are you alright!?” Joe said as he run towards the man. As the man stood up, two humans appear out of the explosion. One was a young British man and the other was an Asian man wearing a grey business men suit, Joe looked at the Asian man in shock as he recognized who it is.

“Josepher!” Blade recognized the British man.

“Friends of yours?” Joe asked.

“Josepher was one of my friends back at high school. But I don’t recognize the Asian guy.” The Italian man said. The Asian man then yells and turns into an Undead, the Undead armor is also black, but with silver spots over its legs, left shoulder pads and chest, the right shoulder is green with a long horns, it’s knee pads have three claws and it has two antenna’s and sharp teeth can’t be hidden by its lips.

“A paradoxa Undead!” Joe said,

“Paradoxa Undead? I’ve never heard or seen that Undead before!” The Italian man said.

“That’s the Category King of Hearts Undead and its first appearance is in Kamen Rider Decade!” Joe said. Resulting the Italian man to opens his eyes in realization.

“Oh that’s it, I only manage to watch Kuuga to Blade only” the man said which cause Joe to face palm himself and Josepher takes out a belt buckle. The buckle is rectangular with four small circles on the edges of the belt, with a large yellow oval and a red diamond/heart in the center with a card scanner.

Joe looked horrified as he noticed the buckle ‘No, it can’t be!’ Joe thinks as Josepher place the buckle on his waists, forming a strap around him and he takes out a card, similar to Blade’s ‘CHANGE’ card, but has a blue heart and a mantis in the center of the heart instead.

“Henshin” Josepher said as he placed the card onto the belts scanner and slice through the scanner which cause the belt to announce.

♥Change♥

A black aura forms around his body, when the aura dismisses, he is in a Rider Form. This Rider wears a black suit with yellow stripes, wearing metal shoes and grieves, his shoulder pad is similar to blade but black in color, his silver torso armor shapes like a heart with red stripes and his mask has two antenna like horns and his eyes is red heart shaped.

“I’m Kamen Rider Chalice!” Josepher announces himself, the ponies then takes a step back as their instincts warn them that Josepher is no hero and Jospeher raise his hand to call another Undead as one jumps out of one of the buildings, the other Undead has a green body and wears a bulky black armor who has a large hammer on its belt strap and a flail on its right arm and wears an elephant like mask, it’s an Elephant Undead and it attacks Joe. Joe manages to dodge the attack and jumps back away a few feet; he and the Italian man quickly react and turned into their Rider Forms.

“Henshin” they both yelled.

=KAMEN RIDE: DECADE=

♠Turn Up♠

The two then charged at their opponents, the Elephant Undead distracts Blade, Leaving Joe to deal with Josepher as Chalice and the paradoxa Undead. Joe struggles as Chalice uses the edges of his bow to slash Joe multiple times and gives one powerful stab on his chest, erupting sparks on Decade's armor and pins him down, the Paradoxa Undead then lifts him of the ground and punches him at the face, causing causing small strands of sparks fly from his helmet and toss him in the air and landed hard on the ground several foots away.

“Decade!” Blade saw Joe’s struggle and dries to come to help, but the Elephant Undead holds him in a fighting position as it uses it's hammer to slam on Blade's chest armor and it's flail glows as it launches several energy balls at him, leaving significant amount of sparks on his armor as he cry out in pain while having the ponies to idly watch in fear.

“I don’t have time for this!” Blade said as he manages to regain his footing and takes out the device and open up the cards again to reveal the three cards, he took one of the same cards, but he then takes another card, this card is similar to Blade’s Change card, but the beetle had a more menacing design and the spade on it’s abdomen is yellow and larger with the word ‘EVOLUTION’. But before he could insert the card, Joe yells.

“WAIT, if you use Blade’s King Form too much, then you too will become an Undead!” Joe warns him which causes the ponies to have an uneasy discussion. But Blade stood proudly.

“It’s alright, if that what it takes to stop them, then I’m willing to take the task. Besides Kenzaki said that he and the other original Kamen Riders use their powers to maintain the Evolution Card in control. I’ll be fine.” Joe said as he placed his Queen Card inside the device.

♠ABSORB QUEEN♠

He then scan the King card alone the scanner as it change its surface with a gold beetle with a spade on its back. The device announces.

♠EVOLUTION KING♠

As soon as it announces, electrical surges around his armor, Blade’s moans at the pain of the electricity as he struggles a bit, all of his Spade’s card flies out of his sword now circles around him, as his body begins to glow with gold, the cards then absorbs into each separate parts of his body, changing his armor and a large gold sword appears on his left hand, the sword has a gold handle and a spade shape hilt, with blue trimming on the hilt of the sword and red lines with symbols is on the center of the blade, the sword is called the King Rouzer.
When the light dies down, he’s in an entirely different form, his suit is now black, his shoes are now gold with the grieves are now silver and larger, with gold trimmings and each grieves have two symbols of different Undeads and wears an extra piece of armor on his upper legs with each has one different Undead, his vambraces are now the same color as his grieves with one Undead each and wears two armor armbands which each pair also has two Undead symbols. His belt is much more red in color with his shoulder pads had more built into it with two Undead symbols on each side and his chest armor is now gold and the spade on the middle is now blue and has a gold beetle in the center. For the mask, it is now gold with two horns on each side of his head and has a spade symbol on each side, making him look similar to a king. Everypony in the town are entirely stunned and awestruck at his new form, even some of the Undeads begins to show sign of startled and worries at this turn of events.

“That’s Blade’s most powerful form, King Form!” Joe explains to the ponies. The Elephant Undead charges at Blade, but was easily being punched back and falls down to the ground several feet away by Blade's increase of power. Blade then makes five cards come out of his armor and the cards are now gold and have a more textural design. He inserts five cards inside the large sword

♠Spade 2-Spade 3-Spade 4-Spade 5- Spade 6♠

♠Strength Flush♠

The sword announces as each of the cards flies out and was absorb by two of Blade’s swords. He then charges at the Elephant Undead and easily slashes it. The Undead was destroyed instead as it explodes. Joe starts to fight with the Paradoxa Undead. “Let’s finish this while we still can!” Joe said as he takes out a card and inserts into his driver.

=FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-DECADE=

Joe shifts his booker in gun form, then multiple small holographic cards surrounds the area of gun fire as it aims itself at the Paradoxa Undead. He fires the trigger which causes a giant energy blast at the Paradoxa Undead, but to Joe’s shock, the Undead wasn’t destroyed as it falls down and its belt is open. With that Josepher throws a card at the Paradoxa Undead, which seals it and the card flies back at Josepher’s hand.

“Now, witness the ultimate evolution!”Josepher said as slides the same card that he uses to seal the Paradoxa Undead into the belt’s scanner.

♥Evolution♥

His body changes as his cards flies out in front of him and absorbs into him, causing his body to engulf in black aura again, this time his armor changes. His suit is now red and his stripes change patterns, all of his armor parts are now black and his belt has two holders on each side for his duel blades. His shoulder pads are now more pointed and his neck armor now has spikes, the chest armor now has stripes in the sides and his torso now has a gold heart shape with the mantis on the center and his heart shaped eyes are now green. Chalice has turned into his Wild Form.

Blade and Chalice are now at a standstill, but not before they have a small conversation “Joseph, are you alright with this, just what is your goal?” Blade said.

“That’s none of your concerned!” Chalice said as he charged at him. The two now charged at each other with their perspective final weapons while Joe tries to help the ponies. The two collide their blades as they face to face as they spin and release their halts, the two strikes and defends each other with their weapons, emitting slashing metal sounds. As the battle came closer to a conclusion, the two back up several feet away from each other and begins to initiates their final attack, Blade insert five more cards inside his sword and Chalice attach two of his blades and attach it to his arrow, which cause all of his cards to combine into one card.

♠Spade 10-Jack-Queen-King-Ace♠

♠Royal Strength Flush♠

Blades giant sword announces as five holographic cards are now in front of him and he held up his sword to prepare for the finishing move.

♥Wild♥

Chalice’s bow announces as he slides his card into the bow and his bow starts to glow. In seconds, they both initiated their final attack, Blade’s sword slash cause a powerful gold wave that passes through the holographic cards, while Chalice fires his arrow which emits a gold energy and the two energy force collide. Causing a huge shock wave of power that flies everypony around the town, when everyone manage to regain consciousness, they saw both Blade and Chalice fell down to the ground, Blade turns back to his civilian form while Chalice is still in Rider Form. As Blade tries to stood up, Chalice punch Blade in the face and snatch his Rouzer Absorber of his hands and throws it away.

"My Rouzer Absorber!" Blade said as he lies on the ground a foot away from Chalices position.

"Your efforts are always futile!" Chalice said.

“Hey! Now that’s cheating.’” Applejack said with slight anger.

“You fools knew nothing about fighting!” Chalice said as he held up another card, but this card is different, it was black in color, with a strange symbol similar to Chalice’s symbol on his belt with the Spades, Diamonds, Hearts and Clubs are on the edge and the card said ‘Joker’ and he is about to scan the card with his belt. Both Joe and Blade are shocked to witness the card.

“Don’t!!!” They both yell in unison, but Josepher ignores them and begins to scan the card and his body morphs in a black liquid aura once again.

JOKER

But when the transformation is complete, he's now have a more monstrous appearance. He is now an Undead who is mostly black and green in color, it has green and black horns covered his legs; with his torso has a green core on it, he now has green hands and holding a green blade on his left hand and horn like weapons attach from his right forearm. The most horrific part is his face now have menacing eyes which can be seen through a green transparent glass like helmet and long antennas, his ears are now replace with two spikes and he has a disturbing white jaw with bare teeth that gives him a sinister semi laugh. The towns pony horrifies of this transformation and especially Rarity and Fluttershy who are now traumatically fainted.

“The Ultimate Rider is now fused with the Ultimate Undead!!” Josepher gives out a menacing laugh as he charges at Blade and Joe. They both changed into their Rider Forms and fight, but the Joker Undead’s potential is too much for the two, they slash their swords at him, but he easily grabs hold of the blades and disarmed them, using their own weapons on them, giving two simultaneous slashes at them a the Riders fall back and the Undead throws the swords back to them, the Riders manages to grab their weapon, but the Undead slashes the two with it's hand blades before they could do anything. Screams of agony can be heard from the two and the monster eventually kicks the two of them off their feet. But before the Undead could finish them off, Twilight and her friends steps in front of the Joker, using themselves as a shield to protect both Joe and Blade.

“What do you think you’re doing?” the Joker Undead said ignorantly.

“We’re not going to let you injured our friends anymore!” Twilight yell.

“Friends? After everything that I said to you ponies!?” Blade said.

“Yeah, you may look like a jerk on the outside, but we know that you’re fighting to protect others like a true heroe and we can’t just watch the ones who save us suffered!” Twilight explain.

“Yeah, you have a pride of a true hero!” Rainbow said with confidence.

"Yell... I rather say your attitude is a little mean." Fluttershy said softly to Blade as she then points her hoof at the Undead. "But your an even bigger meanie! For hurting others like that!" she said with slight, but audible rage.

“You all?” Blade said as he looks at the six, while the Joker Undead chuckles at them.

“Really? How soft can you pathetic ponies can get?” the Joker Undead said, but Joe’s face expression said otherwise, despite being hidden by his helmet.

“I wouldn’t said that there soft, you’re hunger for fame and desires blinds you from reality!” Joe said with conviction.

“Then what’s that makes you then? The Ponies only wants to keep fantasizing their needs in their own perspective little world and never accepts what’s in front of them!” Joker Undead said, but Joe still denied it.

“Wrong! Or at the very least, these ponies here, they willing to spread Friendship, but! Not because of wealth! Not to raise their ranks" Joe said as he slowly begins to stood up and walks side by side with the Main Six. "And especially not to make themselves better than anypony else!” Joe said with pride, Blade then started to develop some emotions as he stares at Joe with passion.

“Then for what?” Joker Undead said ignorantly with a venomous pitch in his voice.

“For development, improvements and to give this world the kind of harmony they need, no matter how many times they fail, they pick themselves up and continues their journey. Because of that, it can change anyone or anypony, with that everypony can grow, developed with each other and they can understand each other.”Joe lecture, which leads Blade to stood up and walks in front of the six to protect them with Joe, leaving the Undead with little expressions.

“That’s what makes them grow stronger everyday!” Joe said.

The Joker Undead looks at Joe and said “Who are you anyways!?”

Joe then answers “Just a passing through Kamen Rider, remember that!” Joe said as he turns his head to Blade. "You got that!?" Joe said and Blade gives an immediate nod.

"Yeah! Let's show him what true strength is!" Blade said as the two stood by side and charges to fight the Joker Undead, they both use their swords to slash the Undead, with a boost of their confidence and their spirits, they were able to gain the upper hand as the Undead begins to falter by their strength. The Joker Undead then decides to retreat, but as Blade chase the Undead while Joe opens his case and took out three cards and the cards regain their color. Joe pick one of the cards and place it into his Driver.

=FINAL FORM RIDE: B-B-BLADE!=

“This going to tickle a bit!” Joe said as he walks up to Blade which confuses Blade and turns his head back at Joe. But Joe push his shoulder to turn his back and said “Come on”.

He then place his hand at Blade’s back to form a giant card set with his sword’s hilt on his back and his body turned upside down and his sword attach to his feet at the top of the weapon as he changes into Blade’s Blade. The ponies of Ponyville are jaw dropped at his new form and Joe grabs the handle and slashes it at the Joker Undead who is also shocked, the slash is powerful enough to stun the Undead for a while and Joe inserts one more card for a final attack.

=FINAL ATTACK RIDE: B-B-BLADE!=

Blade’s Blade then charges with huge amount of electricity, creating a blue aura on the blade of the sword and Joe slashes the weapon at the Joker Undead, who explodes in the process and Joe toss the Blade’s blade up in the air which cause it to turn back into Blade’s rider form, as he landed on his feet, he barely manages to hold his balance and falls with the blue hologram passes through him to cancel his transformation, he then looks at Joe as he finally show a smile at him. But as they about to greet each other the Joker Undead turns back into Josepher and caught their attentions for his last words.

“Someday, I will surpass you ‘old friend’” Josepher said in a gentle tone instead of a maniac evil villain’s way as a dimensional barrier engulfs him and an explosion sound can be heard, but the barrier disappears before leaving any signs of the explosion.

In the evening, the ponies and the two riders help to repair the town, Blade then looks at Joe and sigh “Look man, I’m sorry for everything I said earlier, I didn’t realized how important friendship actually is and how much great of a character these Ponies are. I just judge a book by its covered.” Blade said in a frown face.

“AWW, it’s alright, everypony can be scared and shy when they saw something that they don’t understand!” Pinkie said as she jumps up behind Blade and hugged him. Blade smiles and everypony smiles back at him.
“It’s alright darling there are no harsh feelings, besides you’re King Form makes an outstanding appearance!” Rarity said with glamorous of Blade’s King Form design.

“By the way, what’s your name?” Joe asked.

Blade looks at all of them and said “Marco, Marco Roberto” Joan said. Joe guest was right “So you are Italian!” Joe said as they shared a laugh.

Joe then notice another thing “By the way, how did you know about the Kamen Rider Franchise anyways?” Joe asks.

Marco then looked down and said “Joshepher was the one who brought me into it.” Marco said, Joe said “Oh” feeling regret for asking that question.

“But like she said, no harsh feelings” Marco said, Joe then introduce the main 6 to Marco, after that Marco remembers another important thing “Oh I almost forgot something!”

Joe and the main 6 hears him out “While I’m in the void, Kenzaki said that once the threat stops invading Equestria, then we can all go back home!” Marco said in excitement. Joe then cheers at the news as when the time comes when they all defeated the threat, they can go home. But Joe also realized about leaving Equestria and their new friends behind as he turns sadly and looked at them.

“It’s alright Joe, your families and love one’s are more important now, besides we have plenty of friends for us” Twilight said to spare his feelings.

Joe then looks saw a small flash of light nearby and ran towards it, when he came back, Marco and the six are surprised to see what he have found, Marco’s Rouzer Absorber and Tank the Tortoise. “It’s a coincidence that the Rouzer Absorber was landed to where Tank is hibernating.”Joe said with a small giggle as he holds them.

“Tank! You’re awake!” Rainbow said with joyfulness as she picked him up and hugged Tank and the rest of them share a joyful laugh as the day ends.

Chapter 7: Life Behind Mirrors

In the past weeks, Marco decided to stay in Twilight’s Castle to call home until he can find an area to stay in Equestria.

“Hey Joe! How are you?” Marco said as he came to the castle’s dining room for breakfast.

“Yeah, I’m doing great!” Joe said as he finishes his breakfast.

“Oh that’s good to hear.” Marco said as he has scramble eggs. As they finished their breakfast, they leaved the castle and saw the Main Six hanging out near Sugar Cube Corner, but they also noticed that somepony is missing.

“Hey yeah Twi, where’s Applejack?” Joe said with Marco beside him as they pursued to the ponies.

“Oh, she and the Cutie Mark Crusaders are at Appleloosa to prepare for a rodeo.” Twilight said.

“I simply can’t believe that Sweetie Belle is willing to go there without my supervising!” Rarity said with slight hint of disgusts.

“Look on the bright side though, they might get more experience outside and who knows, they might finally even get their cutie marks!” Joe said in enthusiasm.

Marco raised an eyebrow at his comment “What’s a cutie mark?” Marco asks.

“You don’t know what’s a Cutie Mark!?” Twilight said, shock at his words.

“He’s not a fan of you girls at first. It’s natural that he doesn’t know.” Joe said and get’s his attention to Marco “Well a cutie mark is a representation of a pony’s talent and who they are. For an example, Twilight’s cutie mark is a big star with little stars surrounds it, it represents that Twilight is good at using magic and the Element of Magic.” Joe explains.

“Oh” Marco said as he then confused with the world ‘Element’. “Wait, what do you mean Element?” Marco said.

“There are ancient artifacts that were used to protect the Land of Equestria before we came along; these artifacts are called the Elements of Harmony. But that’s all I can tell you for any spoiler reasons, since yesterday you said that you will try to watch the show when we came back home.” Joe said, but Marco wasn’t offended.

“Ok, I could just wait until I came back home.” Marco said as them and the main five are discussing on what to do, while that Joe hears a strange sound, to his surprise he recognized the strange sounds.

“Hey do all hear that?” Joe said. The main five and Marco however are confused.

“Hear what?” Twilight said as they don’t hear anything a slightest bit.

“Yeah, what is it” Marco said, leaving them anxious.

“What did you hear? Tells us already!” Rainbow said and began to be impatient. Joe hears the sound move in a different direction and follows it, which cause the Marco and the five to follow him.

“Hey! Wait for us!” Pinkie said.

As they run across the streets, Joe then stopped at a particular building which has a yard sale, Marco and the five stops to take a breath.

“Just what is it that you hear Joe darling?” Rarity said in fatigue.

“I hear a familiar sound and it’s coming from somewhere here” Joe said.

“Is it a good thing or a bad thing?” Fluttershy ask in concerned.

“Only one way to find out.” Joe said as he faces in front of an antique mirror and place is Decadriver on his waist. “Henshin!” Joe said as he inserts his card in the driver.

= KAMEN RIDE: DECADE! =

He once again turns into Decade, leaving Marco and the five confused. “Don’t worry everypony, I’ll explain everything when I come back from Mirror World.” Joe said which makes the five to be even more confused, except for Marco whose eye widened at Joe’s meaning.

“Mirror World?” Twilight said. But before anyone could say anything, Joe jumps into the mirror and ‘goes into it’. Leaving the five and Marco jaws drop and gathered around the mirror, but saw nothing.

In Mirror World

Joe then comes out of the mirror and goes into another world; similar to Equestria, but everything is face differently, like a reflection of a mirror. As he got his feet, he saws a figure running away from him. Joe chases the figure and he jumps up one of the houses and runs and hops from roof to roof until he finally caught the figure in plain sight.

“Gotcha!” Joe said as he recognized the figure, the figure turns out to be another Rider “Ryuki?” Joe said the Rider’s name.

“Uh, what’s Ryuki?” The Rider said in confusion. Joe then surprised at this as a though came into his head ‘Is he the first Rider who knows nothing about Kamen Riders?’. Joe then stood up straight and asks some questions.

“Um… are you new here?” Joe asks.

The Rider then looks around his surroundings “Kind of, actually I was stuck here for three days.”The rider said. Which cause Joe in shock?

“Three days!? Why didn’t you get out of this world in the first place!?” Joe said. The rider scratches his head.

“Well, I’m shy and besides I can’t believe that I actually saw the main six at a reflective glass or mirror in this world.” The Rider said, giving Joe a conclusion.

“Oh, so you’re a brony like me, but you knew nothing about the Kamen Rider Universe.” Joe said in realization.

“Umm, what’s a Kamen Rider?” the Rider said. Joe gives an awkward face, but was hidden by his helmet.

“I’ll explain it to you when we get out of here.” Joe said as he approach the Rider and pats his back before leading him back to the same mirror that Joe got in to Mirror World. “Ok, all we need is to go into this mirror and we will be back to the real world.” Joe said, the Rider is confused by the term ‘real world’, but decided to ask later.

“Um, are you sure this is a good idea, we don’t want to break this mirror.” The Rider said.

‘Wow, this guy really don’t know anything about Kamen Riders’ Joe though before said “It won’t break, trust me”.

Joe said and drag the Rider in front of the mirror for him to jump, however the Rider shows sign of hesitation of how unsure about going into the mirror.

Joe then gives a sigh “Just get in there!” Joe said in frustration as he push the Rider’s back, causing him to fall towards the mirror and goes through it, Joe then follow along when he jumps into the mirror.

Back at the real world

The five ponies and Marco are still gathered around the mirror, anxiously waiting “How is that even scientifically possible?” Twilight said in baffle.

“Hey, we already saw strange stuffs before. Besides these Riders have very strange, but yet really awesome powers!” Rainbow said.

“Yeah, but still that breaks all laws of physics!” Twilight said as she points at the mirror.

“Twilight darling, there are just something’s can’t be explained by science or magic.” Rarity said to comfort her. Just as anyone was about to say something, they saw something flew out of the mirror and forms into the same Rider back at Mirror World. Marco and the five are shock to witness a new Kamen Rider.

“A-Another Rider?” Fluttershy said softly as the Rider tries to stand up and turns back to normal, the Rider is a man with short blond hair, wearing blue jeans and an orange sweater. Marco immediately recognized the new Rider.

“Kamen Rider Ryuki!” Marco said and few moments later, Joe came out of the same mirror moments later and turns back to normal.

“Well, we have a lot to explain to him.” Joe said.

They both arrived to the Castle of Friendship, where they are in the throne room

“My name is Winston Goodwill” the Rider said his true name.

“Well Winston, to answer your question, a Kamen Rider is a Japanese superhero series, they are masked hero’s who often drive on motorcycles and fight evil monsters called Kaijin” Joe explained

“What!? So are you saying that I’m now this superhero?” Winston said, Joe and Marco nodded.

“The Kamen Rider Franchise started in 1971 and still drives through this day. You have the powers of Kamen Rider Ryuki.” Marco said. “Ryuki has the ability to go into a parallel world that is opposite to the real world, known as Mirror World, it’s the world of mirrors that is like a reflection of a mirror, there are monsters inhabit in Mirror World called Mirror Monsters. You also have the ability to use dragreder’s powers; dragreder is a red Asian dragon Mirror Monster who is Ryuki’s partner in crime. But on one condition, Ryuki has to feed dragreder the energy of other Mirror Monsters, otherwise Dragreder will resolve to eat you!” Marco explains. Causing a gear to turn on his head.

“Now that you mentioned it, I do remember how I got here in the first place.” Winston said in a flashback.

Winston flashback:

“Mom, why does Gunter have to stay here for a while?” Winston asks.

“Because he overdue his payment for his apartment.” Winston mom reminds him.

“Huh, alright!” Winston said as he arrange his cousin Gunter bed for him, when he folds the blanket, a black card deck flies out and landed on the ground, Winston saw the deck and pick it up.

“What is this thing?” Winston said as a bright glow of light emitted by the deck, when the light slowly turns of, Winston disappears, few seconds later his mother came into the room and saw a card that came from the deck is on the floor, the card has a black hole like picture on the front and has the world ‘SEAL’.

“Huh, why does Winston always have to mess up with Günter toys?” She said as he picks up the card and put it on the nightstand.

Then Winston was in the same void as the others and saw an Asian man with long brunette hair, wearing jeans and a thick blue jacket. “There is a world you are familiar with, but now it’s in a verge of peril, you have what it takes to save that world.” The man said.

“Who are you?” Winston ask the man.

“You will find out later, now I’ll grant you my powers in order to save that world.” The man said as a red Asian dragon appears in thin air. Winston was paralyzed in fear as he falls on his back and the dragon flies around him and merged him. The card deck he was holding now has a dragon head symbol on it.

In a flash of light, he was awake but in his Rider form. He stood up and shocked at his new appearance “What in the world just happened, what happened to me!?” said Winston as he touch his helmet and armor, but was more than thrilled as he looks and recognized his surroundings “Wait, is this Equestria!?” Winston said.

“Awesome!” Winston said as he head towards Ponyville, but when he arrives, no pony was home, he also noticed that the words and writing are on opposite sides.

“That’s peculiar, why are the words like that?” He said as a motorcycle drives towards him, stopping at his side with no one in the seat. This motorcycle is silver with a large dome like roof to it as the roof opens by itself.

“What in the world?” Winston said, he then sits on the motorcycle, the belt buckles then attach itself to Winston’s belt and he drives the motorcycle, he then decided to go to the Crystal Empire. When he arrives, he also saws no one, but when he looks at a reflection on one of the crystal houses, he saw the main six and Joe walks away.

“NO WAY, ARE THOSE THE MAIN SIX!?” Winston said in fan girl, but he’s also notice Joe and Tim and how they are only reflections. “What in the world is going on? Why are there two people there and why do they only have reflections, but not their physical body?” Winston said as he saw a pair of monsters in front of him, one was a green shark like creature with two saws, the other was an aboriginal like humanoid with a tomahawk and the two monsters chase him. Winston manages to escape and hide, but he has no clue how much longer is he going to stay there as he finds his motorcycle and drove back to Ponyville.

Back in the present.

“You were watching us when we first met Tim!?” Joe said in surprise.

“Sorry, I don’t want to be a stalker, but I have nowhere else to go.” Winston said.

“It’s alright, but what I’m really confused is to how you were able to stay in Mirror World that long? I though Ryuki can only stay in mirror in a short period of time?” Marco asks.

“Well that applies to the original series, but in Kamen Rider Decade, a parallel world counterpart of Shinji was able to stay in mirror for as long as he wants and also able to exit Mirror World by passing through a different reflective object.” Joe explains to Marco.

“The person who you met back at that void was the original Kamen Rider Ryuki, Shinji Kido.” Joe said. “We’ve all come here also because the original Kamen Riders have sent us to protect this world from the Kaijins, Marco here is Kamen Rider Blade, he’s able to capture monsters called Undead by using special cards and inherit their powers. While I’m Kamen Rider Decade, I can able to turn into nine other Kamen Riders that came before me, that includes Ryuki, but somehow most of my cards that contain my powers were sealed.” Joe finish explaining.

“But why does this Shinji guy choose me instead of my cousin Gunter, he must have that deck long before I even know about it?” Winston said, but Joe doesn’t look all to surprise.

“I think it’s most likely because the original Riders prefer to choose someone who have a similar personality or aspect to them, because they think it would be the best way for some people to become Kamen Riders to protect this world.” Joe said.

That raises a question for Winston “But, why don’t the original Riders came to Equestria instead of asking us to and why are the Kaijins begins to attack this world?” Winston asks.

“That’s a question that we’ve all been wondering, we don’t know why the original Riders send us here and why are the kaijin’s are invading, but whatever reason the Kaijins have, it causes them to really desire to reach havoc Equestria.” Marco said.

“Uh, can you guys care to tell us what’s going on?” Twilight ask. Just as everything seems settling, Winston and Joe heard the same strange sound, this time it’s louder and more disturbing.

“Oh no, that could only mean one thing!” Joe said as he runs out of the castle and the rest follows him. They ran to the town hall.
At first everything seems peaceful.

“Joe, what’s wrong!?” Twilight asks as she and her friends take their breath. Suddenly out of the river, a monster jumps out and grabbed a nearby pony.

“Hey, it’s that same monster that chases me when I arrived to the Crystal Empire!” Winston said.

“That’s an Abysslasher! A type of mirror monster!” Joe said as he jumps up and kicks the monster, it drops the pony and jumps back in the water. “Winston, you need to go to mirror world and stop that Abysslasher!” Joe said which cause Winston to have a huge hesitation face.

“What!? Are you nuts? I can’t fight!!” Winston said in agitation.

“But you have to, if not that monster is just going to hunt down that pony again, once a Mirror Monster picks up its prey scents, it will never let it go until it eats it!. Besides, you’re Ryuki, you can enter Mirror World and this will be a part of your Kamen Rider training!” Joe said. “Don’t worry Winston; I’ll be by your side!” Joe said to comfort him.

“But, how can I go back in there?” Winston said.

“Simple, all you need is to held up your deck with your left hand and face it in front of a reflective object, a mirror or a reflective glass is a good starter!” Joe said as he brings Winston to Town Hall where there the windows have reflections.

Winston hears him and faces his deck on the reflective part of the glass, this cause the same silver belt that Winston wears in his Rider Form to appear out of the glass reflection and place on his waist.

“Then you your deck back and cross your right arm up like this!” Joe said as he does Ryuki’s transformation pose “And say the word ‘Henshin’ and inserts the deck inside the belt” Joe said as he pretends to insert an imaginary deck in an imaginary belt. Winston saw this and copies Joe’s moves.

“Henshin” Winston said as he held his deck back and cross his right hand up and insert the deck on the belt, this cause the deck to glow and the belt to emit a strange sound and Ryuki’s armor appears on him by the mirror’s reflection. When Winston transform, he looks at himself, realizing that he transform once more. The ponies around him are astonish at the transformation.

“Good, now I’ll join you in a sec.” Joe said as he places his Decadriver on his waist and does his usual transformation pose. “Henshin!” Joe said as he inserts his card in the belt.

= KAMEN RIDE: DECADE! =

The belt announces as he turns into Decade, “Now we enter Mirror World the same way we exit it a while ago.” Joe said as he goes into the glass reflection and Winston follows him.

In Mirror World.

Joe and Winston jumps out of the glass and they entered into Mirror World and faces the Abysslasher. “Alright Winston, you need to fight that thing!” Joe said, but Winston is unamused.

“Easy for you to say, I don’t even know the first thing about fighting!” Winston said.

“Just take a deep breath and calm down, I can assure you that in your Rider Form, you are a natural fighter, many Kamen Riders are start of as a rookie, even I and some Riders right now in Equestria.” Joe said, hopping to motivate Winston to fight.

Joe gives a sigh “Alright, but if things gone out of hand, then you should give me a hand!” Winston said, Joe nodded to give approval. Winston nods back and charged at the monster.

Winston tries to punch and kick it, but the monster easily dodges his moves and uses its duel sword to protect itself and slash Winston back, causing sparks to fly out of Winston’s armor, he fell down to the floor hard as the Abysslasher attempts to attack again.

“Push the head of your Drag visor, it’s the gauntlet dragon head like device on your left forearm and take out a card from your deck and insert it in your Drag visor and close it!” Joe said. Winston manages to get the gist of it as he opens the Drag visor and takes out a card from his deck, the card has a sword picture on it, and he inserts the card inside the device and closes it.

Sword Vent!

The device announces as a sword flies out of nowhere and flew towards the Abysslasher, causing damage to it and Winston immediately grabs the sword and slashes the monster when it’s still being stunned. The monster tries to attack, but Winston uses his sword to block the Abysslasher’s duel sword and kicks its stomach, causing it to fall back and charges.

“Try inserting another card!” Joe said, Winston respond by open the Drag Visor and took out another card, this card has a dragon chest like shield, and he inserts it into the device.

Guard Vent!

The device announce again, this time two shields appear out of thin air and flies towards to Winston’s shoulders, the shield resembles a dragon’s chest. “Wow, this is so cool!” Winston said in amazement. The Abysslasher uses its duel sword again, but Winston blocks it with the shield on his shoulders and slash his sword even harder than before, enough for the monster to falls down.

“I think I’m getting a hang of it!” Winston said as he inserts one more card in the Drag visor, this card has a dragon head on it.

Strike Vent!

As said, a larger dragon head like gauntlet appears from the sky and inserts itself in Winston’s right hand. Unlike the device on his left hand, this one has the same exact design as Dragreder’s head. “Put your right leg back and make a pose as if you’re trying to punch the monster, and don’t forget to make the dragon’s mouth open.” Joe gives advice to use the Drag Claw (Dragreder head device).

Winston did as Joe said and as he do the pose, the head starts to ignite fire inside its mouth and when Winston did his strike pose, the Drag Claw fires a powerful blast of fire. Powerful enough to destroy the monster as its life energy appears and floats in mid air, Winston stares at it in awe.

“Don’t worry about that thing, Dragreder will handle it.” Joe said, as said a red Asian dragon appears out of nowhere, Winston remembers the dragon back then as it consumes the energy orb from the Abysslasher and flies of.

“Alright, you did pretty well on the first day, now let’s go back, the others could be worried.” Joe said as Winston nodded in agreement and they head back by using the same glass they entered.

Back in the real Equestria

Marco explains how Kamen Rider Ryuki’s powers works to the Main five and the original Kamen Riders who were the one that brought them here in Equestria as they wait for Joe and Winston return.

“Don’t worry, Joe knows almost every Kamen Rider powers even better than the back of his head, I can tell.” Marco said to comfort the ponies, but not much progress.

“I still can’t believe that you Kamen Riders could even break the laws of science!” Twilight said, still in concern.

“The real bummer here is that we can’t watch this Ryuki guys powers, I bet it will be just as awesome as the others!” Rainbow said in frustration. Few seconds later, Joe and Winston jumps out of the glass and changed back to normal.

“What a battle back there!” Winston said.

“Well either way, we all need some rest.” Joe said as everyone sighs in agreement and head back to Twilight’s Castle. In the castle, Joe took out all of the cards in the deck to show how they work, with everyone else watches the cards.

“Winton, as you know these three cards allows you to summon special weapons.” Joe said as he held out the three cards that Winston used in the fight. Then he held two more cards, one of which had a picture of Dragerder “This card allows you to summon Dragerder when you feel like you need it, but don’t let it fall into the wrong hands or otherwise you can’t transform into Ryuki and it’s also a contract card for Dragerder, meaning if this card is damaged in anyway. You no longer will be able to control it and it will hunt you down. So be very cautious!” Joe said as a big reminder for Winston. Winston gulps his throat in fear and nods. This warning also makes the Main 5 feel uneasy. Joe then shows the other card which had the same symbol on his deck, but with a red background.

“And this card is your final attack card, meaning this card will initiate Ryuki’s final attack.” Joe simply said. Winton also noticed one more card in the deck; he then grabs the deck and took out the card. This card has a left golden wing with a fiery background and the card title said ‘Survive’.

“Joe, what about this card?” Winton ask, Joe looks amazed when he saw the card.

“That’s a very special card you have, because this card allows you to ascend into Ryuki’s Final Form, Survive form!” Joe explain, Winston then looks at his card in awe.

“Hate to interrupt but Joe, how did you get into Mirror World like that, I though only Kamen Riders from Ryuki series could do that?” Marco asks, which cause everyone to stare at Joe.

But Joe wasn’t all that surprise “Simple, the Decadriver is able to copy a Kamen Rider’s aspects when each time I encounter another Rider, like in the show everytime Tsukasa meets another Rider, his Decadriver gives him aspects that matches the Rider such as playing a violin like Kiva, making dramatic entrances like Kabuto, and even going into Mirror World like Ryuki.” Joe answered.

Marco stared at Joe in amazement. “Hey I just noticed something. Every time you guys change, you all said this word called ‘henshin’, what does that word mean, is it a catchphrase or some sort?” Spike said in curiosity.

“Well, Spike the word ‘henshin’ is a native language in a specific region from my world, it means change or transform. Many Kamen Riders said it as their common phrase before turning into their Rider Forms. However not all Kamen Riders said that word” Joe explains to Spike.

“Darling, I also noticed something else, each time we meet a new good Rider, you all can turn into what you all called you’re final form. Some which is a little tacky, but others look very outstanding! But my real question is why do you have those forms?” Rarity said her question.

“Yeah, some of those Final Forms do look more awesome than others!” Rainbow said in agreement.

“You see, many primary Kamen Riders are able to achieve final forms due to either physically like Kuuga’s Ultimate Form or using an object to unlock it like Kiva’s Tatsulot, Blade’s Evolution Card and his Rouzer Absorber.” Joe takes a short breath before continuing.

“They often use these forms because it’s their most efficient form to fight when it comes to facing very powerful enemies like Saga, the Grongi leader and the Joker Undead.” Joe finishes Rarities’ question.

“Um, not mind Joe, but what's your Final Form?” Fluttershy ask softly.

“Well, Decade does have a final form, but I haven’t achieved it yet, because I need a specific item to unlock it. And I don’t know where that item is” Joe said in frustration of remembering Decade’s Final Form back home.

“Well, I for one think that’s enough questions to ask for now. After all you two do have a rough day.” Twilight said. They both nod in agree.

“Yeah, let’s go and have dinner.” Joe said as he and everyone else gets something to eat.

As the day ends, a man who is in Mirror World, watching the Castle, the man has a blond shaggy hair and is wearing a trench coat, the man then held up a deck which looks similar to Winston’s, but the deck is brown and has a gold phoenix symbol on it.

In the next morning Joe and everyone else came back from Applejack’s barn after asking the Apples if Applejack have come back. “I hope Applejack and the CMC doing well back at Appleloosa, I wondered if she won this rodeo?” Joe said as they walked back to Ponyville.

“We can figure that out when they came back, after all it’s only been two days since they were out.” Twilight said.

“Yeah, we can make a welcome back from Appleloosa’s Rodeo party for them and introduce them to our new friend here; it’s going to be like two different parties combine into one!!” Pinkie said in delight as she jumps up and down.

“Typical Pinkie Pie.” Winston said with a small giggle as they heard screams back at town.

“Oh no, now what?” Twilight said in concern as they all ran back to Ponyville. When they arrived, everypony is running and hiding from multiple golden feathers that appear from thin air and explodes each time it makes contract with an object.

“What is this?” Twilight said in horror with Rarity looks at the event in the same way.

“Ooh, those feathers looks beautiful, but how such a beautiful thing can cause so much trouble!?” Rarity said in undeniable. But as they got closer, they saw a figure standing near town hall.

The figure wears a black suit with brown grieves wearing an armor torso that has a red ‘M’ shape on it with shoulder pads that resemble gold wings, the figure also wears a mask that has a gold beak like design with a silver mouthpiece, there are two small eyes and four trimmings which looks similar to the eyes are on the fore head, with a horn on the head similar to a beak and it handles a gold staff a gold silhouette bird as the head of the staff and the belt he’s wearing looks a lot like Ryuki’s belt, but with a gold color and the deck is brown and has a phoenix on the middle. They both realized what they looking at is another Kamen Rider.

“Kamen Rider Odin?” Marco said in shock.

“Odin?” Twilight ask.

“He’s one of the most powerful Kamen Riders in the series!” Joe said with the same horror face as Marco’s.

“Hum, why are you guys looking like your scared?” Winston said.

“Because Odin’s powers are god like!” Joe said with seriousness, leaving Winston stared at him in confusion.

“You have my deck, return it to me and we’ll make this progress move along quickly.” The rider said with an echoing effect as he held his hand up.

“There’s aint no way he’s going to give you that deck. You harm everypony in town to get it so forget it! Right Winston!” Rainbow said in confidence, having Winston nodded in agreement.

“Well, in that case I have to force my gloves.” The rider said as he disappears in gold feathers and appears again in front of Winston and punches him in the face, making Winston fall on the ground.

“Winston!” everyone said in unison and stand by his side. As they watch Odin’s move, Odin then held his right hand up and flicks his hand, causing a giant dome like portal to appear behind him, leaving everyone in shock, especially Joe since he recognized the portal. The portal then come closer to Odin and disappears, revealing two more Riders.

One Rider wears a black suit, with silver and blue grieves, the torso armor is silver with blue stripes that form the torso with shoulder pads similar to a big cat’s claw, wearing silver and blue vambrace. The rider’s mask has a vent design, but more simpler and has a mouth piece similar to fangs and have a cat like whisker on his chin, the belt is the same as Ryuki’s, but the card deck is blue and has a tiger face symbol on it and on the Rider’s right hand is a blue axe with a silver blade.

The other rider is also wearing a black suit, but the grieves and vambrace is entirely purple, the chest armor is purple and has a pointed shoulder pad with a silver trimming and two hexagons on each side and a silver piece on the center, the mask has two smaller hexagons on the head, with a vent like face, but the face looks more sticker like, the head design is similar to a cobra and have a mouthpiece similar to a cobra’s fang. The belt is also the same, but the deck is purple and has a cobra’s head and his left hand is handling a scepter that has a cobra head on it, while the right hand handles a sword like cutlass.

Everyone is stunned at this new turn. “Kamen Rider Tiger and Ouja!?” Joe said as the two riders charged at Joe and Marco. “You guys, you need to go now, and we’ll handle this!” Marco said as he, Joe and Winston backs of and prepares to transform.

“Henshin!” The three said as they do their poses and transform

=KAMEN RIDE: DECADE! =

♠Turn Up!♠

And Winston insert his deck into his belt and they all turn into their Rider Forms, they both each charge at their opponents, Joe handles Tiger, Marco fights Ouja and Winston fights Odin. Joe tries to dodge Tiger’s axe swinging and uses his sword to slash Tiger, but Tiger manages to hold on and insert a card into his axe,

Strike Vent!

The axe announces as two huge paws with long claws appear out of the mirror’s reflection and slash Joe back, creating an immense amount of sparks to fly out of Joe’s armor and walks backwards. “Alright then, if a sword not enough then a hammer should!” Joe said as he inserts a card in his belt.

=FORM RIDE: KIVA DOGGA=

His armor changes into Kiva’s Dogga Form and uses his hammer to defend himself from Tigers claws and manages hits him back as the Tiger Rider stumbles and rolls down on the ground, Joe turns back into Kiva’s regular form and then inserts one more card.

=FINAL ATTACK RIDE: K-K-KIVA!=

The belt announces as the day turns night and he lift up his right leg, the grieve and the chains shattered to reveal his red foreleg with bat wings, he does a back flip as he jumps high into the air and makes a full flip before descending on Tiger with his flying kick. As soon as Joe makes contact with Tigers body, the force cause the Rider’s body to slam down and creates Kiva’s symbol on the ground, the Rider explodes and when the dust was settled, Joe stood up and walk out, leaving nothing behind from the Rider.
Marco is still handling Oujia, with their swords collide each other and fights with equal strength and skills, Oujia then backs of and open the head of his scepter and took out one card and inserts it into the scepter. Joe then turns back into Decade’s base form and came to Marco’s aid.

Final Vent

The scepter announces as a giant purple armored cobra with three pairs of gold horns on its neck hood, scaring everypony and hide in their houses. Ouja then runs and the snake follows him and Ouja jumps high to the height of the snakes head and does a back flip and the snake spits venom on him as he does a scissor kick. Joe and Marco then combine their final attacks in hope to defeat Ouja.

♠ Kick-Thunder-Mach ♠

♠ Lightning Sonic ♠

Marco’s sword announces as the three holographic cards are now absorbed into his armor and his legs begin to charge with electricity. Joe inserts a card in the driver.

= FINAL ATTACK RIDE: D-D-DECADE! =

The belt said as the holographic cards appears in front of Joe and shift itself to target Ouja. Both Joe and Marco initiates their final attack with both of them fly into the air with their kicks straight towards Ouja, they collided which cause Ouja to explode and passes through the snake, destroying the snake along with Ouja. Winston has a hard time of fighting Odin, due to Odin using mystical powers instead of physical fighting as he teleports and punches Winston each time he tries to slash Odin. Odin then opens up his staff and inserts a card inside.

Sword vent!

Then two golden fiery duel swords appears in his hands and uses it to slash Winston multiple times as Winston barely manages to make contract with Odin’s armor. As Joe and Marco came to Winston’s aid, Odin inserts another card in his staff.

Time Vent!

Then time is turning back and everything seems to turns back to just right after Joe and Marco defeated Ouja and the snake, Odin then appears behind the two and slashes his sword behind their backs.

“Wait, what just happened?” Twilight said, noticing the strange phenomenon.

“Odin just turns back time!” Joe answered Twilight’s question.

“How’s that even possible!? That requires a lot of power!” Twilight said in shock.

“That’s why he’s one of the most powerful Riders we known!” Marco said as he and Joe tried to stand up and fights Odin. But Odin keeps teleporting and hitting each of them without knowing. When the two falls down, Odin summons more golden feathers on them, causing huge amount of sparks to explode and damaged their armor as they both scream in pain.

“This is awful!” Fluttershy said as she covered her eyes with her hoof.

“How could there be someone this cruel!?” Rarity said in agreement as the five and Spike are helpless to help the three Riders.

“STOP!” Winston screams as he gain his footing and inserts a card in his Drag Visor

Final Vent!

Then Dragerder flies out of the glass and flies around Winston as he prepare for a final attack. The five are amazed by the dragon’s appearance while Fluttershy stood behind Pinkie for protection. Winston then jumps up high and the dragon flies up and circles him as Winston performs a kick and the dragon was behind him and fires a powerful blast of fire on him, causing to fly down towards Odin with a powerful kick, unfortunately Odin manages to teleport in time before Winston kicks at him, but this action stops Odin from summoning more golden feathers on Joe and Marco. Odin appears behind Winston and slashes his sword at Winston, making him fall down and teleports further away from him.

“Now you see the consequences, you have no hope of defeating me.” Odin said. But Winston growls in anger as he takes out a card from his deck and flip it revealing a card with the cards background begins to come alive, making it appear like real fire. Soon after the area where the riders are now started to cover in heat waves and fire begins to appear around them.

Joe and Marco are amazed of what Winston is about to do “Is he really going to?” Marco said and Joe slowly nodded.

As the flames intense, the main five (minus Applejack) are astonish of how there was fire in the area. Then Winston instincts tells him to take a punch on his left arm, as he did it, a fiery aura surrounds the Drag Visor as it disappears as a fiery aura and reappears as a new device on Winston’s hands. This device is similar to the Drag Visor, but it had a more texture design for a head and it’s not attached to his forearm anymore, this new device is now known as the Drag Visor Zwei. The mouth of the new device is open and Winston inserts his survive card in the mouth of the device and close it.

SURVIVE!

The device announces as Winston stood up in a fierce pose as he held the device upwards, moments later the fire in the area now surrounds his armor, creating a fiery aura as the reflection from the surroundings crash into him and revealing Ryuki’s final form.
This forms suit is now black, but the grieves and the vambrace are now gold and the deck is now red instead of black. The torso has a more dragon like design with the shoulder pads points back, similar to horns and a smaller shoulder pad is underneath. The mask is still the same, but the ends of the mask are more pointed with a gold trim on top of the head and two whiskers like antennas on his forehead. The five ponies and Spike are astounded of his new form.

Winston then held the device; a blade came out of the device’s snout portion and extends a blade as he charges Odin. Despite Winston’s new powers, he is still overpowered by Odin’s mystic powers, Winston keeps on missing as Odin kept teleporting and hits him without warning. Winston then takes out a card, this card has a picture of multiple cards aliened in a strange pattern with a strange light in the middle and title said ‘Strange Vent’.

“What is this card?” Winston said.

“If you insert that card into the device, it will randomly change into a different card!” Joe said. Winston understood as he inserts the card into the Visor on the side of the head.

STRANGE VENT!

The card then glows, making the visor opens up and turn into another card, this card has Ryuki multiple clones. Winston then inserts the card in again.

TRICK VENT!

As said, three more clones of Ryuki appears and all charged at Odin at the same time, but despite it, Odin manages to teleport away from each of the clones and slashes them along the way. Marco then stood up as he takes out his Rouze Absorber, just as soon as he does it; Odin inserts another card in this staff.

Steal Vent

The staff announces as the Rouze Absorber vanishes in fin air and appears on Odin’s hand and he throws it far away.

“Not again!” Marco growls in frustration. The Ryuki clones can’t even make contact with Odin as they all disappear by Odin’s powerful slash, revealing the real Ryuki and Odin summons more gold feather on Winston, stunning him and makes him fall on the ground. As he was paralyzed by pain, Odin opens his staff and takes out one more card, this card has his symbol on it, it’s no doubt that Odin’s going to use his final attack on Winston as he inserts it into his staff.

Final Vent!

A golden fiery phoenix flies around him as it picks Odin of the ground, emitting a golden aura, the ponies and Spike realized what that card meant as they all cover their eyes with their hooves to avoid seeing a horrific end. Just as everything is over for everyone, Oden suddenly felt pain as electricity surges around him, causing the phoenix to drop Odin of the ground and the phoenix explodes, everyone was shocked and confused to what happened.

“What’s happening to me!?” Odin said in confusion, Winston saw this opportunity to fight back as he opens his device and inserts one more card.

FINAL VENT!

The device announces as Dragreder appears and shattered to reveal a new form, Dragreder is now larger and longer from head to tail and a more robotic in appearance. The dragon’s front chest is larger with two large shoulder pads and the hind legs are bigger with two long shoulder pads, the foot and claws are longer and sharper with the tail is much longer and the head has a much more fearsome appearance, it is now Dragranzer.

Winston jumps up and hops on Dragranzers back and as they are about to land, Dragranzer is changing, it’s forehead shifted down to his eyes and muzzle, forming a mask like visor, suddenly, a tire immerges out of the dragon’s chest, as it serpent like spines shifted diagonally, making the dragon’s look similar to a motorcycle and another tire appears on the end, when they landed, Dragranzer’s upper legs attach itself to the tire and the hind legs lift of the ground to avoid friction on the floor. Dragranzer now becomes a living motorcycle. Making the main five and Spike jaws dropped.

As Odin is still paralyzed, Winston lifts up Dragranzer as it tail makes contact to the ground and it fires multiple fire balls at Odin and rams into him, destroying him in an explosion, Winston then stops driving Dragranzer and looks back at the explosion, Odin was still standing, but not before his deck shattered into pieces and collapse. Joe and Marco approach to Winston as they witness another shocking fact. When Odin turns blank, his armor shattered to reveal his identity, was the same man from yesterday.

“Cousin Gunter!?” Winston said in shock, and even went wide eye along.

“Why didn’t my powers work back there!?” Gunter said in anger, with Joe and Marco stood by side with Winston.

“It’s most likely because your body can’t handle the huge amount of power that Odin has. The original Odin was a puppet, that’s why he can’t feel pain.” Joe said his theory.

“Winston, that deck belongs to me, give it back now!” Gunter said, but Winston completely denies it.

“No, you almost destroy Ponyville and everyone with it just because of this thing. If you think I’m gonna give a very powerful tool to a mad guy like you, then you are dead wrong!” Winston yelled.

“He’s right, a ‘true’ Kamen Rider never acts for their selfish desires!” Joe said as he and Marco stand beside Winston.

“Well in that case.” Gunter said as he takes out another deck, this deck is blue and has a shark like mouth symbol.

“He has another deck?” Marco said as the silver belt appears on Gunter’s waist.

“Henshin” Gunter said as he inserts the deck into the belt, making the reflection of his armor appears around him and he’s now in a different Rider Form. This form is mostly blue in color, with blue pattern stripes on his suit; the torso armor has a shark jaw like appearance, the mask has a silver face with a shark snout and gill like structures and a mouthpiece similar to a sharks teeth and the left hand as a huge shark like device.

“What kind of kamen rider is that?” Marco said in confusion.

“Kamen Rider Abyss!” Joe answered. With that Gunter inserts a card in the shark/devices mouth.

Advent!

Then two sharks like monsters appear out of the water, one was an Abysslasher, the other was light green with a huge tank like chest, this one is known as Abysshammer, the two monsters attack Joe and Marco, leaving Winston to handle Gunter once more.

“Gunter, just what is your goal, what are trying to accomplish!?” Winston said.

“Silence, it’s none of your concern!” Gunter said as his blast a powerful splash of water out of the devices mouth, causing Winston to fly back and turns back into his base Rider Form. The two Riders saw this and came to Winston’s need.

“You have been a fan to this girly show ever since I moved with you. This might look like a friendly show, but in actuality, it’s similar to our world, since these ponies behaviors are similar to us, then they only fight for themselves” Gunter said, this allows Joe to said his line.

“Got a hand it to you, sometimes we do fight for ourselves, there are some ponies are willing to get what they desire most, but with our hands… or this case hooves, we can grab on to others. And when that happens, we may be helpless or even lost hope, but we will never be alone!” Joe said. Making the ponies smile at him once more.

The two Abyss monsters charged at the Riders again. “Cursed you! Who are you!?” Gunter said in annoyance.

“Just a passing through Kamen Rider! Remember that!” Joe said as his automatically opens and three cards fly out of the booker, revealing Ryuki related cards.

“Let’s end this annoyance!” Gunter said as he inserts one more card.

Final Vent!

The device announces as the two Abysses jump into the water, merging themselves into one huge robotic blue shark with a saw like snout, it is now an Abyssodon, the monster fires multiple missiles from gun like weapons from its side. The three Riders manage to avoid the blast, the Abyssodon then flies behind Gunter. Joe then inserts one of the cards into his belt.

=FINAL FORM RIDE: R-R-RYUKI!=

The main five and Spike recognized the belt’s announcement as Rainbow Dash and Spike are both excited to see what will happen next. Moments later, his two Drag Shields appears and attach to his shoulders and his sword on his left hand, Winston noticed it and ask “Hey! I didn’t summon these!?”

“This going to tickle a bit.” Joe said and the Abyssodon then blast more missiles at them, Joe manages to push Winston out of the way as he and Marco jumps out of the way, while in slow motion. Miston’s body turns upside down as his two shields become more leg like and the body became more armor like with Dragreder’s head appears.

"What is this!?" Winston said mentally as he completed his transformation. He turns into a larger version of Dragreder. The ponies are amazed at the transformation once more, even Gunter has an unnervingly shock gasp can be heard as the Ryuki Dragreder charged at the Abyssodon.

Joe and Marco is fighting Gunter on land while, Winston as Ryuki Dragreder is fighting the Abyssodon. While flying, Winston manages to constrict the Abyssodon with his body, but the Abyssodon uses it’s chainsaw snout to deliver a cut on Ryuki Dragreder, letting the Abyssodon go. The giant shark then fires missiles again, but Ryuki Dragreder destroys it all by breathing a huge amount of fire at it and at the Abyssodon. When the giant shark is stunned, Ryuki Dragreder uses his sword, now a part of his tail to slice the Abyssodon in half, destroying it as Ryuki Dragreder heads back to Joe and Marco’s aid and turns back to regular Ryuki. With three Riders by side, they are able to overpower Gunter as Joe inserts one more card.

= FINAL ATTACK RIDE: R-R-RYUKI! =

Winston then responds by turning into Ryuki Dragreder again and flying circles around Joe, Joe then mimic’s Ryuki’s final attack as he jumps in the air and does a flying kick pose , while the Ryuki Dragreder blast fire at Joe and causing him to deliver a fiery kick on Gunter. The kick touches Gunter, causing his armor to explode. When Joe landed safely and Winston turns back into his regular Rider Form and Joe and Marco gathered by side to witness Gunter’s defeat.

“I can’t believe that I’ve been beaten by a full time Brony!!” Gunter said as he turns back to his civilian form.

“Don’t worry though, I will give the deck back to you, once this land is free from Kaijins and you and I return to a normal life.” Winston said with a smile that his hidden by the mask.

“You better be, because next time, I’ll be Ryuki.” Gunter said as he explodes and a dimensional barrier appears and engulfs Gunter. Winston witness it with a gasp, but Joe and Marco both padded on Winston’s back.

“Don’t worry, I can tell that he’s fine.” Joe said as they all look at each other and turns back to their civilian form and everypony saw this came out and cheer for them once more.

“That was the CCOOLLEESSTT thing I’ve ever seen!” Rainbow said as she flies in a loop and as on cue, Applejack with a trophy and the CMC came back from Apploosa’s rodeo and heads to Ponyville.

“Howdy everypony, how are you f-f-f-e-e-e-l-ling!? What in tarnation happened here!?” Applejack said in astonishment and the CMC’s have their jaws dropped, witnessing the destruction on Ponyville.

“Well it’s a long story” Joe said as the Riders scratch their head in embarrassment and were about to explain Applejack and the CMC on what happened. During their explanation, a blue butterfly fly pass them which caught Fluttershy’s attention.

“Oh hello there.” Fluttershy said as she hears the butterfly 'tells' her to follow it and flies away. “Wait!” Fluttershy said in a small gentle yell that does not caught everyone’s attention as she follow the blue butterfly. She follows the butterfly near to her cottage as the butterfly flies behind her cottage.

“Wait, what is it that you want to show me?” Fluttershy said as she heads to where the butterfly is hiding, when she got there, she’s amazed of what’s in front of her.

…

Back at town square Joe, Marco and the rest of the six finish their explanation. “And that’s about it Applejack, hey wait! Where’s Fluttershy?” Joe said as he noticed that she’s no longer next to them as they turn their heads around.

“What, but she was there moments ago!?” Applejack said.

“Oh no, we were so caught up of explaining everything to Applejack and the Cutie Mark Crusaders that we don’t pay attention to each other!” Twilight said in panic as she and everyone spread out to find Fluttershy.

Back at her cottage, she witness a new Kamen Rider, this Rider’s suit is black with thick read lines on over his body and arms and legs, wearing silver shoes, brace ankles and knee pads, the Rider have silver finger tips, wearing a thin and yet a highly thick silver belt with a phone like device as the buckle. The Rider shoulder pads are black with a tint of silver and red lines; with his left wrist was a stopwatch like device. The most interesting feature is his torso armor is silver with a simple line edge design and his mask has two huge yellow bug eyes, two sharp teeth like mouthpiece on the upper jaw and one sharp tooth on the lower jaw and two small red antennas. In the near darkness, the red lines on it's suit and armor and the yellow eyes glows and several blue butterflies flying around him.

“Who are you?” Fluttershy ask, but the Rider then walked away leaving only a trace of blue butterflies flies away.

Twilight walks nearby and found Fluttershy“Fluttershy! There you are! Are you alright?” Twilight said in concerned.

“I’m fine Twilight.” Fluttershy said delicately.

“Fluttershy, what happened?” Twilight ask.

“Oh nothing, at first I thought I saw an injured animal, but it’s just a friendly group of butterflies.” Fluttershy said half of the truth.

“Well, I’m glad that you’re ok, everypony is worried about you” Twilight said as she picks Fluttershy up and brought her to the others.

“Um, Twilight, there’s something else I saw back there before you came.” Fluttershy said. Cause Twilight to be unnerved.

“What did you saw Fluttershy?” Twilight said.

“Well, I think it’s another Kamen Rider.” Fluttershy said, Twilight’s then wide eye.

“What!? Did it hurt you or scared you?” Twilight said with concern, but Fluttershy appear to be unafraid.

“No, he was just standing there with butterflies flying around him and leaves the moment you came here.” Fluttershy said.

“What does this Rider look like?” Twilight said.

“It’s kind of hard to describe, he has glowing red lines on his body, a silver chest and two huge yellow glowing bug eyes.” Fluttershy tries to describe the Rider.

“Either way, I hope that Kamen Rider is on our side” Twilight said as she and Fluttershy heads back to the others. With that, the Rider is hiding behind a nearby tree, trying to conceal his glowing lines and his eyes and head deeper into the forest.
