Because of it, they have been kept safe in the vaults within Castle Canterlot. Few had dared to steal these gems for many reasons, but past attempts have been thwarted by the royal guards. In one occasion, both Princess Celestia and Luna defended the treasure themselves. Now, attempts of thievery of the Elements have been drastically reduced, nopony dared to do it again. But all is not as it seems... Episode 1: Gates of Tartarus The royal guards scattered around the area, for the Cerberus, who was tasked to guard the gates has gone missing. These warrior ponies are on high alert, Pegasi guards hovered nearby to locate the Cerberus in the vicinity, and some kept watch on the gates. Unicorn guards also stood nearby, lest more demons jumped out of the gate to escape their fiery prison. Nopony knew why the Cerberus just walked away from its duty of guarding the gates, but a few minutes after its disappearance, the pathway leading to the exit were filled with many demons. Many on duty guards valiantly defended the gate until reinforcement arrived. Fortunately, despite the severe injuries inflicted upon them, there were no casualties. One Pegasus scout flew down, he paced to his commanding officer. "Sir! I bring news; the Cerberus is approaching our position. It is accompanied by a civilian mare." said the Pegasus. "Describe her, Major." asked the large equine to the scout, "Sir, she's a yellow coated mare with a pink mane." The commanding officer was a gray earth pony, with a very well built physique. Not to mention bigger than his subordinates. He wore a golden armor, similar to his fellow ponies in arms. His helmet crest was red, instead of the usual blue, signifying his higher rank. However, his helmet were battered due to a demon slashing his face. Now he has a pair of scars of similar length over his left eye. "I see," said the pony colonel, "what is their ETA?" "Sir, judging from the path they have taken, the two are 10 furlongs to our location, they may be here by sundown." The colonel sighed in relief, finally some good news. "Alright, gather a party and escort the mare and the Cerberus back here. Make it quick, these fiends could came back at any moment, and we're running short on battle ready ponies." "Yes, Sir!" After the Pegasus flew to gather a scouting party, the pony colonel rallied his remaining troops, few they may be, but these brave stallions and mares will not give up that easily. "Alright, troops. I have been informed that the Cerberus has been located, and it is on its way here." The guards perked up, hearing the news had lifted their morale, "But that doesn't mean you should ease up! The scout said that it will arrive at sundown, until then fortify the defenses on the gate! These fiends may have numbers, but so far we held the line! Even though they have dwindled our numbers, yet we held the line! Now until the scouts have returned the Cerberus, we will hold the line!" The guards roared with excitement, with a new found spirit, they are now ready for anything. "Now, go! If you see 'em coming, you leave 'em trampling!" Sundown, Gates of Tartarus "Come on, now, just a little bit further." said the yellow coated Pegasus accompanying the Cerberus. Her pink mane flowing with the wind as she paced the giant beast towards Tartarus, "We should be close to Tartarus right now... I hope nopony would be angry at you." The three heads of Cerberus barked happily, as if to say that she shouldn't worry. Then, she saw four armor clad Pegasi flying towards her, she gulped, fearing that they are angry over the Cerberus's absence, decelerating her flight. "Excuse me, Ma'am," said the leading armored pony, "We are ordered to escort you both to the gates. If you come with us, we'll show you a faster route." The mare was reluctant at first, but noticing that these stallions were royal guards, she agreed, "Oh, alright..." As they flew towards Tartarus, one of the scouts seemed to notice the mare, "Hey, I know you. You're... Fluttershy, right? Twilight Sparkle's friend?" Fluttershy perked up, surprised that one of the royal guard notice a pony like her. "Oh, um...Yes. I'm sorry, but I don't think we've met..." "Oh, yeah. The name's Leeroy, First Lieutenant. I was there when you and your friends performed on Hearth's Warming Eve on Canterlot. You make a pretty good actress!" said the young colt with glee. She blushed at his admiration, "T-thank you, but I really don't like the spotlight... I prefer a quite life at Ponyville." "I see... Still, that was one heck of a performance, I read that Private Pansy became a diplomat after the event, spreading messages of peace throughout the land... I think Private Pansy was responsible for our alliance with the griffins centuries ago! "That would be 'griffons', First Lieutenant. Didn't they thought you that they insist to be called that back at the academy?" said the leader, correcting the lieutenant. "Oh, right you are, Sir!" "Need I remind you the situation we're in right now? Don't get distracted." ordered the leader to Spartacus, "Y-yessir." Fluttershy could not help herself asking the severity of the situation, "Um, I know this may not be a good question but... How bad is it, at Tartarus, I mean...If you don't mind me asking." After a few seconds of silence, the leader Pegasus sighed, "Let's just say if we don't make it out this time, there won't be a next time." When the party finally arrived at the gates, the pinkette was horrified at what she saw. Everywhere were ponies, bandaged all over. Some were on beds, unconscious. "Oh...My..." Before she knew it, they regrouped with the commanding officer, "Colonel Heracles, Sir. The Cerberus has been returned and is now being brought towards the gate." "Good job, Major. Now things may have gotten easier for us. You're all dismissed." With that, the scouts dispersed and returned to their previous posts. Heracles then paid his attention to Fluttershy, "So, you were the one who found the Cerberus?" she nodded to his question, "On behalf of my men, I'm very grateful to you, Fluttershy, for bringing back the Cerberus." She raised her eyebrows, surprised that this giant of a pony knew her, "H-how did you know my name?" she asked him, clearly intimidated by his largeness and burly voice. "Well... my wife, Megara won't stop yapping about this new Pegasus model last year, when I saw you now, I knew that you're the same mare from her magazines." Fluttershy still remembered her brief modelling career with Photo Finish, it was the most exhausting moment of her life. She never expected that somepony would still remember her after all this time. "Don't worry, Miss." said Heracles, "I know I look scary, but have no fear, I ain't one of those stone faced stallion you see at Canterlot." He gave a big goofy smile, making Fluttershy giggle. "Well, thank you for your hospitality, Colonel Heracles." "Please, call me Herc, my wife had troubles pronouncing my own name, so if I want to make it easier for her, should be fair that I make it easier for others too." "Oh, okay Colonel Herc." Fluttershy then turned her attention towards the injured troopers, as the wielder of the Element of Kindness, she cannot help herself but to tend for them. "These poor ponies... What could have done this to them?" Herc answered the mare, "It's the denizens of Tartarus, those things have been in there for Celestia knows how long, our orders were to guard the gates no matter what. I do wonder, why did the Cerberus just ran off like that? I thought they were trained better than to do that." Fluttershy, the animal expert she is, answered the colonel, "Well, like all dogs, they need toe be walked. All those sitting mustn't be good for their feet. Or have someone forgotten to feed them?" Before Herc could say anything, one of the Unicorn guards galloped towards them, "Colonel Heracles! We have a situation!" Fluttershy was startled at the guards sudden yelling, she noticed that this guard was a mare, although the armor made it hard to notice. "At ease, Private. What's the situation?" Before she could answer, a loud roar was heard, it came from the direction of the gate. "Never mind, all of you, rally towards the gates! Rear up for battle!" At his command, the remaining guards rallied to the gates, preparing for whatever was coming from the gates. Fluttershy trembled in fear, she knew Tartarus was a prison to hold many evil creatures from wreaking havoc, but knowing that one of them is about to came out of said prison? Terrifying. "Leeroy! Get your flank over here!" Bellowed Heracles towards the sky. Immediately, the Pegasus scout landed down, and saluted the colonel with his wing, "Sir, First Lieutenant Leeroy Bronkoski reporting for duty!" "Your duty, Lieutenant," Herc then gestured to Fluttershy, "is to escort her back to Ponyville. Get this mare out of here before those fiends get their claws on anypony else!" Leeroy widened his eyes, he expected to help fortifying defenses, not foalsitting a civilian. Nevertheless, he followed orders, "Yes, Sir!" He then gestured the mare to follow him, "Fluttershy, come on! The faster you get away from this place, the safer you will be!" Unfortunately, she was so terrified, she had forgotten that her wings had been locked up, she can't open the when she panicked, "I-I can't!" "Yes, you can Fluttershy. Don't worry, I will protect you no matter what!" "No, I mean I can't open up my wings! I"m sorry, I'm just so scared..." "Then we run to safety, now come on!" Without a second thought, Leeroy lifted Fluttershy on his back and galloped as fast as he could, he did not noticed how red the mares face was as he did it, but he was too busy trying to keep her safe. Heracles followed behind, he was going to the gates to lead his troops. "Leeroy, you be careful now!" "I will, uncle Herc!" "I thought I told ya to call me Sir when on duty, kiddo!" As they went past the gates, Fluttershy saw the Cerberus battling a giant rhinoceros-like creature. It stood on its two legs, the beast was almost as big as the three headed dog, and it had fingers. Unlike a normal rhinoceros, this demonic fiend were red, with a blood like texture all over its body. Its eyes were yellow, glowing brightly with a savage fury. Fluttershy had dealt with scary beasts in her life, she could calm most of them but this... thing was too much. It was too terrifying for her. She prayed that Heracles and his troops to fend the creature off, before she fainted due to fear. Another Time, Another Location, Another Dimension Deep within a jungle, a village was attacked by a monster, it was a humanoid bat, gray colored and had large wing span, it was strong enough to carry a person up high and dropped him from several hundreds of feet. Whatever this beast was up to, its malicious deeds were about to be brought to a halt. Suddenly, a man in green rags with red highlights appeared, on his left arm was a unique looking metallic bracelet that had a protruding part which looked like a beak. He then proceeded to move his forearms into a diagonal position in front of him, and he cried out one word: AAAAAAAAA-MAAAAAAAAAAA-ZOOOOOOOOOOOON!! Fight or Flight: Amazon Cometh!Episode 2: Fight or Flight! Amazon Cometh! "Second division! Cover the left flank, those lesser fiends are pouring out! Fifth squadron, we got flyers. Bring them down hard!" Chaos reign upon the gates, as the fiends within decided to attempt another breakout, the creatures had been pushed back several times since the first attack, but they felt that they were about to succeed this time. That is, until they met the Cerberus who had recently returned from wherever he went. The guardian beast ravaged the horde easily, sending them back into the gates. But unfortunately for the Cerberus and ponies guarding the gates, the fiends brought in a 'special' surprise for them; in a form of a bloody bipedal rhinoceros demon. "Sweet Celestia!" said one of the soldiers, "that thing is as big as my house!" The rhino demon swatted some of the ponies before the Cerberus intervened and duel the demon in a test of strength; pushing each other back with all their might. One of the captains, who was fortunate to avoid the demon's massive arm, commanded the troopers, "C'mon, you lots! The Cerberus ain't gonna win the fight themselves, give 'em some support!" The rest complied, and the pegasi who weren't busy fending of the flyers swatted the rhino demon with their razor sharp wings. The damage inflicted to it enraged the creature, but it was too stubborn to move. Heracles watched as his soldiers fending off the fiends back. He noticed many of the lesser fiends were falling back, sans for the giant angry bipedal rhino, who was still fighting the Cerberus. "And Meg said that my so-called twelve labors were pushovers..." he chuckled as he did a bit of reminiscing. The colonel suddenly reared himself, then galloped towards the demon. Rumor has it that whenever Colonel Heracles galloped, the very earth shook as each hooves pounded the ground. At that moment, the ponies was about to see how true that rumor was. "YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUGH?!" shouted Heracles, as he leaped towards the rhino demon, "HAVE A TASTE OF THE MIGHT OF HERACLES!" Meanwhile, in another dimension... "DAI~SETSUDAN!" The wildman roared out his attack as he leaped up high and brought his forearm downwards towards the humanoid bat, leaving a massive cut to the creature's torso. It's red blood spew allover the wildman, as he continued to attack it with his claws. The wildman then kicked down the bat and roared triumphantly. He swung his arms diagonally, making an odd tribal sound as he did his battlecry, "Gii-Gii-Gii~" However, this wildman looked different, as he was now in his transformed state. His head was more animal like, with big red eyes and an antennae-like appendage protruding from his forehead. His ears morphed into fin-like materials that attached to his head, with fins that bulged to the back of his head. His mouth were filled with sharp teeth, it could bite through any soft parts of his enemies. The rest of his body were like of his rag, green with red details allover, with a bright orange torso plate, Around his neck was a white scarf long enough to reach his back, his spine grew out and protruded fins that covered them up. It was as red as his eyes. Each of his forelimbs were black, with spiny spikes in one side of his forearms and others protruding from each of his calves. His fingernails were red, as were his toenails. His accessories consists of only two things; his white belt buckle, which had two red jewels between the red handlebar-like object in front, named the Condorer, and a metallic armlet that looked avian since its 'face' looked like some sort of bird. It had red jewels that resembled eyes between its "beak". It was known as the GiGi Armlet. This humanoid was once a man, named Daisuke Yamamoto. But in this form, he has turned himself into a demon, who swore to protect the innocent from evil in the name of justice. His name was... "Curse you, Kamen Rider Amazon!" yelled out the bat monster, as he slowly risen up, despite the gaping wound he just received. "You may have defeated many of my comrades, but as long as evil exist, we will never die!" Amazon growled, and replied in a slow, caveman-like manner, "Grr... Amazon... Not Care! Beastman... Hurt innocents, Hurt... Amazon's friends! Amazon... Not forgive!" The wild Rider charged towards the bat and leaped, he stretched his right leg forwards and did a flying side kick, "AMAZON KICK! " Equastria, Gates of Tartarus, Medical Tent "Fluttershy? Hey, Fluttershy, wake up. It's safe now." The mare heard a male voice calling out to her as she slowly regain her consciousness. "Oh... Leeroy? Is it you?" the colt whooped in relief, "Sweet Celestia, you had me worry for a second! Yes, it's me. We managed to fend off the fiends!" Fluttershy risen up from her bed, and tried to walk. Her legs felt wobbly, but the mare managed to walked outside. The increase of wounded ponies sicken her, violence was never in her soul, but she understood that these soldiers put their life at risk to protect Equestria. "So much pain... I-Is there anything I can do? I know some traditional herbs that might help." As the wielder of the Element of Kindness, her first concern was always others before herself. Leeroy followed her outside, and looked around the perimeter just to be safe. "Fluttershy, I understand you concern, but it's okay. We got the best field doctors gathered throughout Equestria! The Princess have prepared us well for this sort of task!" said the colt in a cheerful manner, hoping to lighten the mood. "So don't you worry about a thing, these lots are tougher than they look." Fluttershy nodded, "Oh, okay... wait, what about the Cerberus? What happened to them?" she immediately flew towards the gates, being the last place the guardian canine would be. Leeroy followed her afterwards, "Good grief, that's one fast mare!" When she arrived, the area surrounding the gates were desolate. Black ashes had rid the grass of its lively green color, the trees around it were without any leaves. And everywhere were bandaged ponies. But her biggest concern as of now was the Cerberus. She worked hard to get the beast to return to Tartarus, and Fluttershy was very worried about it. "Oh please be alright..." Fortunately, her prayers were answered, as the Cerberus was seen in its proper place; it front of the gates, which has been finally closed. The Cerberus had major bruises, its legs and tow of his heads were bandaged. When it saw Fluttershy, it barked happily, and each heads licked the approaching mare. "Thank goodness! Did the mean monsters hurt you bad?" asked Fluttershy. In response, the Cerberus barked triumphantly, as if to say "They're nothing against me!" Then, Colonel Heracles appeared, nary an injury upon him. "Miss Fluttershy? You're still here? I thought I told the Lieutenant to escort you to safety." said Herc as he glared at the colt, who smiled sheepishly. "Oh, please don't blame Lieutenant Leeroy, Colonel. He DID carried me to safety to the medical tent, and he was there when I woke up!" "Did he now?" said the colonel, glancing Leeroy with one eyebrow raised. "Um, are you alright yourself, Colonel?" asked Fluttershy, "I noticed that, some of the ponies here were...terribly injured. If it's okay, may I ask how could you look unharmed? If that's alright with you that is..." Hearing this, timid, meek pegasus asking him like that made him laughed, he did so loudly. "Oh, Miss, you flatter me with such questions! Those fiends may have numbers on their side, but I have the strength and experience to beat them down with my own hooves!" "Yeah, Uncle Herc's the toughest stallion in the family, not even my father Argo Nought could beat him in hoof wrestling. And he's been a triathlon athlete for thirty years!" said Leeroy cheerfully, "Well, guess that brother of mine better train more." Unbeknownst to the ponies, a mysterious humanoid figure watched from afar, it had skin as red as dried blood, it face was the most hideous thing nopony have ever seen. with a bulgy head, making it looked like a crown of flesh, and a pair of white pupil-less eyes. Its mouth had a pair of fangs protruding from his lower jaw. The figure covered itself in rag, disguising itself from others. It then chuckled evilly, as he walked away from the vicinity, "Foolish equines... Your days are now numbered." The Amazon Jungle, Night Time Campfire burned within the jungle. Kamen Rider Amazon, who was now in human form, scuttled the fire, making it lit brighter. He was eating his dinner, a dozen fishes and an entire capybara, freshly cooked. Daisuke Yamamoto, or Amazon, as he preferred his given name, looked upon the heavens, admiring the beautiful night. Had he stayed in the city, the lights will surely dim the starry skies. When he but an infant, he had lost his parents in a plane crash years ago. He was the only survivor. Soon after, he was adopted by an Incan tribe, they were one of the few surviving remnants of the mighty Inca Empire. Since then he became a wild child. However, his life was changed when the Incas who adopted him were massacred by the Ten Faced Demon Gorgos. He was searching for an artifact, said artifact was the armlet Amazon wore. Amazon tried to fend off the demon, but as a mere mortal, he was easily defeated. The Inca Elder Bago found Amazon gravely injured, and performed a mystical operation using a mixture of Incan science and magic on Amazon to safe his life. Per his instructions, Amazon went to Japan, his homeland, to find a Professor Kōsaka. The professor was the only one who knew the true nature of the GiGi Armlet, which was in fact a piece of a pair of armlets. The other half was the GaGa Armlet. If joined together, the user will be granted power beyond imagination, and Gorgos was sent under the command of Great Emperor Zero of the Garanda Empire to retrieve both. Unfortunately, Gorgos had already obtained the GaGa Armlet, and after finding out who possessed the other half, he will stop at nothing to get it. Despite the dangers that lurked, Amazon discovered the bright side of the event; he had found a friend in the professor's nephew, Masahiko Okamura. The boy taught Amazon the ways of the world, not to mention teaching him how to speak coherently. Masahiko helped the wild man overcome his culture shock of the modern world. His sister, Ritsuko, also helped Amazon to socialize among the people. Alas, tragedy befell upon them when Gorgos discovered the possessor of the GiGi Armlet. Professor Kōsaka lost his life during the attack. Amazon escaped with the Okamura siblings, and along the way, they met Tobei Tachibana. He was the mentor of the first five previous Kamen Riders before Amazon. But the other five were scattered back then, righting wrongs across the world. Coincidentally, when he met Tachibana, Amazon somehow managed to retrieve a motorcycle that belonged to Gorgos. The bike was manufactured using an unknown form of technology, and it appeared to be semi-sentient. Tachibana asked Amazon to ride the bike, as a Kamen Rider should, but the wild man was reluctant, due to having fear of motorized vehicles. But when Gorgos' goons captured Masahiko and Ritsuko, Amazon rode the bike without hesitation to save the two. "Such a long time ago... Amazon still wonder... How Masahiko-kun and Ritsuko-chan are doing now." said the man as he slowly fell into slumber. "At least Amazon has you, Jungler." he motioned the bike, the very same one he rode all those years ago, "Jungler never let Amazon be alone." The Jungler responded by blinking its lights, or "eyes", as it was designed as such. The Jungler's design was extreme, even to bikers' standards. It's entire body was red, it's eyes were green, and there were huge bony fins from each side. The bike almost resembled a skull of a vulture. "Amazon has friends too; other Kamen Riders before and after me. They are like Amazon's brothers... But Amazon still feels... that something's missing." Before he could ponder even more, Amazon finally fell asleep. Unbeknownst to him and the Jungler, a great ball of light suddenly surround them. After a few seconds, it disappeared, alongside Amazon and his trusty bike. Equestria, Next Wednesday It was morning, and Twilight Sparkle had a very lively week. After being told by her future self that something will happen next Tuesday, which was yesterday now, she panicked for a week as she and her friends tried to prevent from any upcoming disaster. Turns out there was nothing to worry about at all. Aside form Fluttershy recounting her story at the Gates of Tartarus, everything went back to normal. Except now there was a hairless ape and a giant two-wheeled machine inside her library. Her life will soon become more hectic. Amazon Enters Ponyville!A/N: You could also find this in Fanfiction.net if I didn't told you all before. Episode 3: A Whole New World! Amazon enters Ponyville! Wednesday at Ponyville was just another average day for its denizens. Even though the week before this day was a hectic one, they still manage to sustain a peaceful livelihood. However, for a certain purple coated unicorn, this Wednesday was not an average day for her. After spending an entire week trying to prevent some sort of disaster foretold by her future self, Twilight Sparkle had a rough week. Fortunately, despite a rampaging Cerberus and renovating the entire town during that week, said disaster never occurred. Because in the end, her future self was about to tell her not to worry about next Tuesday, which was yesterday. Had she just listened to her future self, Twilight wouldn't have overworked herself trying to prevent a nonexistent disaster. Then again, if she didn't the rampaging Cerberus and the aged parts of Ponyville would've brought an even worse disaster. "Note to self: Always listen no matter what. Can't believe I did all that and it's my own fault!" said Twilight Sparkle as she rearrange her library books. It was nine in the morning, and this mare was already working hard. "Well, if you didn't do all that, would be have an even bigger disaster! Remember that Cerberus? Man, I wonder who let that oversize dog out?" said Spike, a little purple dragon with a bit of green on him. As Twilight Sparkle's Number One Assistant, he was always helping her. But not today, the young dragon was bedridden thanks to overeating buckets of ice cream. "Aw, crud. Why did I thought it was a good idea to ate all those ice cream..." "Oh, Spike, it's alright." said Twilight, "It's a good thing I found a spell that would make it easier for you to move without throwing up, I can't believe that flaming ice cream chunk you threw out yesterday! Was that even possible?" "Uh, yeah... I hope the carpets weren't too expensive..." As Twilight continued her work, she remembered the story Fluttershy told when she returned the Cerberus back to the Gates of Tartarus, "So Spike, still remember what happened when Fluttershy brought the Cerberus back to the gates? What do you think?" asked the mare to her young companion, "I dunno, Twilight; I think a giant demonic rhino walking on two legs fighting the Cerberus would make an awesome story though." "Spike, did you forget all those poor soldiers who defended the gates with their lives? She said that there were so many wounded ponies." Twilight and her friends may have faced great dangers, but demons breaking out of Tartarus may as well be Armageddon to Equestria. "Aw, you worry too much. I'm sure those soldier have been trained well to handle any situation!" said Spike, arms spread out with excitement, "Why, if any of those fiends appear, I oughta give 'em a fistful of fire! No way I'm letting those things hurt you guys- Ow..." The rumble in his tummy painfully affects the dragon, he rubbed it gently to calm it down, "Oh man, this doesn't feel good at all..." After finishing her library duties, Twilight walked up towards her bed area, checking on Spike. "Thank you, Spike. I'm sure you'll give those things a piece of your mind... Or maybe you could give them a fiery chunk of ice cream instead?" said the mare, teasing the dragon. "Very funny, Twilight." Suddenly, Twilight felt a slight vibration, coming from downstairs. "Spike, did you felt that?" "The only thing I feel is my stomachache, why did you ask?" Before she could answer, a flash of light, followed by an explosive force shook the treehouse. Panicking, the two ran downstairs to see what happened. When they arrived, the place was a mess. "My books! After all the rearrangement I just did..." "Never mind the books, what is that?" Spike pointed at the epicenter of the explosion, fortunately, no was seen in the vicinity. However, the two discovered something strange; one was a large, two-wheeled... something. The other, was a creature they have never seen before. "Spike... who is that?" "Don't look at me, Twilight; I don't even know what he is!" A few minutes later... Amazon felt something pressing on his back, it was wood. Not that of a tree's root, but a wooden floor. And the air smelled fresh, with none of the usual stench of the jungle. For some reason, Amazon's body felt stiff, he was proven right when his joints cracked as he struggled to get up. "Urgh... Amazon feels weird... Where is Amazon?" Then, his eyes met with another's, but what surprised him was that those eyes belonged to a horned pony; a unicorn. The wildman was baffled at the discovery of a mythological creature who was standing right in front of his eyes. He then noticed a small bipedal reptilian, it looked young through Amazon's eyes. Amazon squatted, and moved his head sideways. The purple coated unicorn then slowly approached him, "Um... Hello? Can you understand me?" The wildman was taken aback; meeting weird creatures was one thing, but talking animals was something he never expected, "Grah! How could pony talk? Who are you?" Amazon took a defensive stance, hands spread out, with fingers posed like claws. He growled at the two, "C-calm down, we're not going to hurt you. My name is Twilight Sparkle, and this is Spike. What's yours?" Amazon was confused, first he wasn't in the jungle anymore, now he met a talking unicorn. But her kind words slowly calmed him, "... Amazon. My name... Amazon." Suddenly, a blue streak flew into the house, causing a slight flow of gale, "Twilight! What happened, I thought I heard an explosion coming from your house and... and... Who the hay is that?" said the blue coated, rainbow maned pegasus as she pointed her hoof towards Amazon. Then, the front door opened revealing more ponies, Amazon observed that each of them were unlike any equines he had encountered on Earth. One pony were orange coated, blond and wore a cowboy hat. Next was a pony who was pink allover. Then, a white unicorn with fabulous looking purple mane. And finally, another pegasus, this one had pink mane and a light yellow coat. The multicolored ponies confused Amazon even more. Why such odd coloring? How could they be able to talk? And most importantly, where is he? "RRRRAAAAH!!! Stay back! No come closer!" yelled Amazon as he took a step back, still on his guard. The hatted pony then said, "Whoa there, pardner! We ain't gonna hurt nopony! Just calm down and... what are you, anyway?" then, the blue pegasus spoke, "Yeah, what are you, some kind of... hairless monkey?" she folded her hooves as she floats through the air. "Well, whoever he is, we should throw a party for him! I mean, look at him; he's big, he's strange, and most importantly, a newcomer!" the pink pony proclaimed as she hopped in excitement. "Pinkie Pie, please." said the white unicorn, her voice had an air of grace as she speak, "This... person is obviously frightened, if you throw a party, I'm afraid the poor thing would panic!" The pink maned pegasus took a glance at the so-called hairless monkey, and when he looked at her with a fierce glare, she immediately hid behind one of the ponies. "Everypony calm down!" said Twilight, "Please, this... person is frightened. He doesn't know where he is and he's probably confused." "By the way, sugahcube, where did he come from? Ah never seen anytin' like him before..." asked the orange pony, "I don't know, Applejack. One minute I was rearranging the books and the next he just... appeared out of nowhere. Look, I know he's scary, but this is something nopony have ever seen before. We don't know what he's capable of." Unbeknownst to the six, Spike slowly approached the big hairless monkey. He growled towards the young dragon, but Spike pressed on. "Hey, calm down. We're not gonna hurt you okay? I'm Spike, and those six are my friends." Hearing the word 'friends', Amazon began to remember things; memories of the friendship he has gathered ever since returning to Japan. "Ponies... friends?" asked the wildman. "Um, yeah, don't worry, I know you're scared, but they're the friendliest ponies you will ever met. I promise they won't hurt you." Twilight then noticed that Spike was talking to the hairless monkey, "Spike? What are you doing?" the dragon replied, "Don't worry Twilight, he's not gonna hurt me." True to his words, Amazon lowered his arms and knelt. He then gave a big grin, followed by a hand motion. He first interlocked his fingers together, then held both cupped hands in front of Spike, with both pinkie fingers pointing up. "Spike... Friend." realizing what the hand gesture meant, Spike mimicked him and showed Amazon his Sign of Friendship. "Yeah... Amazon's my friend too!" Happy with the new bond of friendship he just made, Amazon picked up Spike and held him high above his head, he laughed with joy to his younger friend, "Spike's... Amazon's new friend!" Spike didn't expect Amazon to pick him up, but he was too happy to care, "Whoa! You're so strong! Nopony could lift me like that before!" Twilight smiled at the two, such interactions were fascinating to her, but for now she's happy that Spike made a new friend, "Well, at least he's calmed down now. So Spike; mind introducing us to him?" "Oh, yeah. Amazon, let me introduce you to my friends." Still being held by Amazon, Spike pointed towards the six ponies, "The purple one is Twilight Sparkle, she's a librarian and I'm her assistant. The one with the hat is Applejack, she and her family owns an apple farm." she then nodded towards Amazon, "Nice to meet ya, Amazon." Spike then pointed to the blue pegasus, "That's Rainbow Dash, she's the fastest pegasus in Equestria and nopony can't beat her!" Rainbow Dash responded by flying quickly around the house, "Heck yeah! I'm the best flyer around, and one day I will join the Wonderbolts to be the best flyer ever!" "You said it, RD. Now that's Pinkie Pie, she throws the best parties ever." "Ooh, I wonder if he likes cupcakes, I could make hundreds of them. Or maybe some pancakes? Everybody loves pancakes, they're so delicious!" "Uh... She does that most of the time." Spike then introduced the last two, "Next, is Rarity. She's the local tailor and one of the best in Equestria! "Aw, thank you Spike, but I'm not that good. I only make the best for my customers." "And finally, we have... Fluttershy, where are you?" Spike looked around, and saw the mare hiding behind Twilight. "Fluttershy, it's alright, "said Spike, "He's not gonna hurt you, promise." Reluctantly, she walked slowly towards Amazon. Noticing her fearfulness, he put Spike down and kneeled, "Amazon... Scared ponies. Amazon sorry for that. Amazon promise... no hurt ponies." He held his palm to his heart, reassuring her of his promise. "Oh, it's okay... It's nice to meet you, Mister Amazon." said the mare with a sweet smile. Amazon returned her smile by performing his Sign of Friendship, "Ponies... Amazon's Friends." The six smiled at his acceptance. Amazon may not know where he was, but knowing that there are friendly people in that place, surely no terrible crisis have ever happened in Ponyville. ...Or is it? Hope I get the Mane Six's personality right, God help me if I put Zecora in the story, I can't think of a decent rhyme lol College life delays my updates, not to mention thinking of what's going to happen next in the story. Next chapter will have more action; RIP AND TEAR!
Gates of TartarusHonesty Kindness Laughter Generosity Loyalty Magic Brought together to form the Elements of Harmony, these artifacts is known to be the most powerful magical objects known to ponydom. Because of it, they have been kept safe in the vaults within Castle Canterlot. Few had dared to steal these gems for many reasons, but past attempts have been thwarted by the royal guards. In one occasion, both Princess Celestia and Luna defended the treasure themselves. Now, attempts of thievery of the Elements have been drastically reduced, nopony dared to do it again. But all is not as it seems... Episode 1: Gates of Tartarus The royal guards scattered around the area, for the Cerberus, who was tasked to guard the gates has gone missing. These warrior ponies are on high alert, Pegasi guards hovered nearby to locate the Cerberus in the vicinity, and some kept watch on the gates. Unicorn guards also stood nearby, lest more demons jumped out of the gate to escape their fiery prison. Nopony knew why the Cerberus just walked away from its duty of guarding the gates, but a few minutes after its disappearance, the pathway leading to the exit were filled with many demons. Many on duty guards valiantly defended the gate until reinforcement arrived. Fortunately, despite the severe injuries inflicted upon them, there were no casualties. One Pegasus scout flew down, he paced to his commanding officer. "Sir! I bring news; the Cerberus is approaching our position. It is accompanied by a civilian mare." said the Pegasus. "Describe her, Major." asked the large equine to the scout, "Sir, she's a yellow coated mare with a pink mane." The commanding officer was a gray earth pony, with a very well built physique. Not to mention bigger than his subordinates. He wore a golden armor, similar to his fellow ponies in arms. His helmet crest was red, instead of the usual blue, signifying his higher rank. However, his helmet were battered due to a demon slashing his face. Now he has a pair of scars of similar length over his left eye. "I see," said the pony colonel, "what is their ETA?" "Sir, judging from the path they have taken, the two are 10 furlongs to our location, they may be here by sundown." The colonel sighed in relief, finally some good news. "Alright, gather a party and escort the mare and the Cerberus back here. Make it quick, these fiends could came back at any moment, and we're running short on battle ready ponies." "Yes, Sir!" After the Pegasus flew to gather a scouting party, the pony colonel rallied his remaining troops, few they may be, but these brave stallions and mares will not give up that easily. "Alright, troops. I have been informed that the Cerberus has been located, and it is on its way here." The guards perked up, hearing the news had lifted their morale, "But that doesn't mean you should ease up! The scout said that it will arrive at sundown, until then fortify the defenses on the gate! These fiends may have numbers, but so far we held the line! Even though they have dwindled our numbers, yet we held the line! Now until the scouts have returned the Cerberus, we will hold the line!" The guards roared with excitement, with a new found spirit, they are now ready for anything. "Now, go! If you see 'em coming, you leave 'em trampling!" Sundown, Gates of Tartarus "Come on, now, just a little bit further." said the yellow coated Pegasus accompanying the Cerberus. Her pink mane flowing with the wind as she paced the giant beast towards Tartarus, "We should be close to Tartarus right now... I hope nopony would be angry at you." The three heads of Cerberus barked happily, as if to say that she shouldn't worry. Then, she saw four armor clad Pegasi flying towards her, she gulped, fearing that they are angry over the Cerberus's absence, decelerating her flight. "Excuse me, Ma'am," said the leading armored pony, "We are ordered to escort you both to the gates. If you come with us, we'll show you a faster route." The mare was reluctant at first, but noticing that these stallions were royal guards, she agreed, "Oh, alright..." As they flew towards Tartarus, one of the scouts seemed to notice the mare, "Hey, I know you. You're... Fluttershy, right? Twilight Sparkle's friend?" Fluttershy perked up, surprised that one of the royal guard notice a pony like her. "Oh, um...Yes. I'm sorry, but I don't think we've met..." "Oh, yeah. The name's Leeroy, First Lieutenant. I was there when you and your friends performed on Hearth's Warming Eve on Canterlot. You make a pretty good actress!" said the young colt with glee. She blushed at his admiration, "T-thank you, but I really don't like the spotlight... I prefer a quite life at Ponyville." "I see... Still, that was one heck of a performance, I read that Private Pansy became a diplomat after the event, spreading messages of peace throughout the land... I think Private Pansy was responsible for our alliance with the griffins centuries ago! "That would be 'griffons', First Lieutenant. Didn't they thought you that they insist to be called that back at the academy?" said the leader, correcting the lieutenant. "Oh, right you are, Sir!" "Need I remind you the situation we're in right now? Don't get distracted." ordered the leader to Spartacus, "Y-yessir." Fluttershy could not help herself asking the severity of the situation, "Um, I know this may not be a good question but... How bad is it, at Tartarus, I mean...If you don't mind me asking." After a few seconds of silence, the leader Pegasus sighed, "Let's just say if we don't make it out this time, there won't be a next time." When the party finally arrived at the gates, the pinkette was horrified at what she saw. Everywhere were ponies, bandaged all over. Some were on beds, unconscious. "Oh...My..." Before she knew it, they regrouped with the commanding officer, "Colonel Heracles, Sir. The Cerberus has been returned and is now being brought towards the gate." "Good job, Major. Now things may have gotten easier for us. You're all dismissed." With that, the scouts dispersed and returned to their previous posts. Heracles then paid his attention to Fluttershy, "So, you were the one who found the Cerberus?" she nodded to his question, "On behalf of my men, I'm very grateful to you, Fluttershy, for bringing back the Cerberus." She raised her eyebrows, surprised that this giant of a pony knew her, "H-how did you know my name?" she asked him, clearly intimidated by his largeness and burly voice. "Well... my wife, Megara won't stop yapping about this new Pegasus model last year, when I saw you now, I knew that you're the same mare from her magazines." Fluttershy still remembered her brief modelling career with Photo Finish, it was the most exhausting moment of her life. She never expected that somepony would still remember her after all this time. "Don't worry, Miss." said Heracles, "I know I look scary, but have no fear, I ain't one of those stone faced stallion you see at Canterlot." He gave a big goofy smile, making Fluttershy giggle. "Well, thank you for your hospitality, Colonel Heracles." "Please, call me Herc, my wife had troubles pronouncing my own name, so if I want to make it easier for her, should be fair that I make it easier for others too." "Oh, okay Colonel Herc." Fluttershy then turned her attention towards the injured troopers, as the wielder of the Element of Kindness, she cannot help herself but to tend for them. "These poor ponies... What could have done this to them?" Herc answered the mare, "It's the denizens of Tartarus, those things have been in there for Celestia knows how long, our orders were to guard the gates no matter what. I do wonder, why did the Cerberus just ran off like that? I thought they were trained better than to do that." Fluttershy, the animal expert she is, answered the colonel, "Well, like all dogs, they need toe be walked. All those sitting mustn't be good for their feet. Or have someone forgotten to feed them?" Before Herc could say anything, one of the Unicorn guards galloped towards them, "Colonel Heracles! We have a situation!" Fluttershy was startled at the guards sudden yelling, she noticed that this guard was a mare, although the armor made it hard to notice. "At ease, Private. What's the situation?" Before she could answer, a loud roar was heard, it came from the direction of the gate. "Never mind, all of you, rally towards the gates! Rear up for battle!" At his command, the remaining guards rallied to the gates, preparing for whatever was coming from the gates. Fluttershy trembled in fear, she knew Tartarus was a prison to hold many evil creatures from wreaking havoc, but knowing that one of them is about to came out of said prison? Terrifying. "Leeroy! Get your flank over here!" Bellowed Heracles towards the sky. Immediately, the Pegasus scout landed down, and saluted the colonel with his wing, "Sir, First Lieutenant Leeroy Bronkoski reporting for duty!" "Your duty, Lieutenant," Herc then gestured to Fluttershy, "is to escort her back to Ponyville. Get this mare out of here before those fiends get their claws on anypony else!" Leeroy widened his eyes, he expected to help fortifying defenses, not foalsitting a civilian. Nevertheless, he followed orders, "Yes, Sir!" He then gestured the mare to follow him, "Fluttershy, come on! The faster you get away from this place, the safer you will be!" Unfortunately, she was so terrified, she had forgotten that her wings had been locked up, she can't open the when she panicked, "I-I can't!" "Yes, you can Fluttershy. Don't worry, I will protect you no matter what!" "No, I mean I can't open up my wings! I"m sorry, I'm just so scared..." "Then we run to safety, now come on!" Without a second thought, Leeroy lifted Fluttershy on his back and galloped as fast as he could, he did not noticed how red the mares face was as he did it, but he was too busy trying to keep her safe. Heracles followed behind, he was going to the gates to lead his troops. "Leeroy, you be careful now!" "I will, uncle Herc!" "I thought I told ya to call me Sir when on duty, kiddo!" As they went past the gates, Fluttershy saw the Cerberus battling a giant rhinoceros-like creature. It stood on its two legs, the beast was almost as big as the three headed dog, and it had fingers. Unlike a normal rhinoceros, this demonic fiend were red, with a blood like texture all over its body. Its eyes were yellow, glowing brightly with a savage fury. Fluttershy had dealt with scary beasts in her life, she could calm most of them but this... thing was too much. It was too terrifying for her. She prayed that Heracles and his troops to fend the creature off, before she fainted due to fear. Another Time, Another Location, Another Dimension Deep within a jungle, a village was attacked by a monster, it was a humanoid bat, gray colored and had large wing span, it was strong enough to carry a person up high and dropped him from several hundreds of feet. Whatever this beast was up to, its malicious deeds were about to be brought to a halt. Suddenly, a man in green rags with red highlights appeared, on his left arm was a unique looking metallic bracelet that had a protruding part which looked like a beak. He then proceeded to move his forearms into a diagonal position in front of him, and he cried out one word: AAAAAAAAA-MAAAAAAAAAAA-ZOOOOOOOOOOOON!!
Fight or Flight: Amazon Cometh!Episode 2: Fight or Flight! Amazon Cometh! "Second division! Cover the left flank, those lesser fiends are pouring out! Fifth squadron, we got flyers. Bring them down hard!" Chaos reign upon the gates, as the fiends within decided to attempt another breakout, the creatures had been pushed back several times since the first attack, but they felt that they were about to succeed this time. That is, until they met the Cerberus who had recently returned from wherever he went. The guardian beast ravaged the horde easily, sending them back into the gates. But unfortunately for the Cerberus and ponies guarding the gates, the fiends brought in a 'special' surprise for them; in a form of a bloody bipedal rhinoceros demon. "Sweet Celestia!" said one of the soldiers, "that thing is as big as my house!" The rhino demon swatted some of the ponies before the Cerberus intervened and duel the demon in a test of strength; pushing each other back with all their might. One of the captains, who was fortunate to avoid the demon's massive arm, commanded the troopers, "C'mon, you lots! The Cerberus ain't gonna win the fight themselves, give 'em some support!" The rest complied, and the pegasi who weren't busy fending of the flyers swatted the rhino demon with their razor sharp wings. The damage inflicted to it enraged the creature, but it was too stubborn to move. Heracles watched as his soldiers fending off the fiends back. He noticed many of the lesser fiends were falling back, sans for the giant angry bipedal rhino, who was still fighting the Cerberus. "And Meg said that my so-called twelve labors were pushovers..." he chuckled as he did a bit of reminiscing. The colonel suddenly reared himself, then galloped towards the demon. Rumor has it that whenever Colonel Heracles galloped, the very earth shook as each hooves pounded the ground. At that moment, the ponies was about to see how true that rumor was. "YOU THINK YOU'RE TOUGH?!" shouted Heracles, as he leaped towards the rhino demon, "HAVE A TASTE OF THE MIGHT OF HERACLES!" Meanwhile, in another dimension... "DAI~SETSUDAN!" The wildman roared out his attack as he leaped up high and brought his forearm downwards towards the humanoid bat, leaving a massive cut to the creature's torso. It's red blood spew allover the wildman, as he continued to attack it with his claws. The wildman then kicked down the bat and roared triumphantly. He swung his arms diagonally, making an odd tribal sound as he did his battlecry, "Gii-Gii-Gii~" However, this wildman looked different, as he was now in his transformed state. His head was more animal like, with big red eyes and an antennae-like appendage protruding from his forehead. His ears morphed into fin-like materials that attached to his head, with fins that bulged to the back of his head. His mouth were filled with sharp teeth, it could bite through any soft parts of his enemies. The rest of his body were like of his rag, green with red details allover, with a bright orange torso plate, Around his neck was a white scarf long enough to reach his back, his spine grew out and protruded fins that covered them up. It was as red as his eyes. Each of his forelimbs were black, with spiny spikes in one side of his forearms and others protruding from each of his calves. His fingernails were red, as were his toenails. His accessories consists of only two things; his white belt buckle, which had two red jewels between the red handlebar-like object in front, named the Condorer, and a metallic armlet that looked avian since its 'face' looked like some sort of bird. It had red jewels that resembled eyes between its "beak". It was known as the GiGi Armlet. This humanoid was once a man, named Daisuke Yamamoto. But in this form, he has turned himself into a demon, who swore to protect the innocent from evil in the name of justice. His name was... "Curse you, Kamen Rider Amazon!" yelled out the bat monster, as he slowly risen up, despite the gaping wound he just received. "You may have defeated many of my comrades, but as long as evil exist, we will never die!" Amazon growled, and replied in a slow, caveman-like manner, "Grr... Amazon... Not Care! Beastman... Hurt innocents, Hurt... Amazon's friends! Amazon... Not forgive!" The wild Rider charged towards the bat and leaped, he stretched his right leg forwards and did a flying side kick, "AMAZON KICK! " Equastria, Gates of Tartarus, Medical Tent "Fluttershy? Hey, Fluttershy, wake up. It's safe now." The mare heard a male voice calling out to her as she slowly regain her consciousness. "Oh... Leeroy? Is it you?" the colt whooped in relief, "Sweet Celestia, you had me worry for a second! Yes, it's me. We managed to fend off the fiends!" Fluttershy risen up from her bed, and tried to walk. Her legs felt wobbly, but the mare managed to walked outside. The increase of wounded ponies sicken her, violence was never in her soul, but she understood that these soldiers put their life at risk to protect Equestria. "So much pain... I-Is there anything I can do? I know some traditional herbs that might help." As the wielder of the Element of Kindness, her first concern was always others before herself. Leeroy followed her outside, and looked around the perimeter just to be safe. "Fluttershy, I understand you concern, but it's okay. We got the best field doctors gathered throughout Equestria! The Princess have prepared us well for this sort of task!" said the colt in a cheerful manner, hoping to lighten the mood. "So don't you worry about a thing, these lots are tougher than they look." Fluttershy nodded, "Oh, okay... wait, what about the Cerberus? What happened to them?" she immediately flew towards the gates, being the last place the guardian canine would be. Leeroy followed her afterwards, "Good grief, that's one fast mare!" When she arrived, the area surrounding the gates were desolate. Black ashes had rid the grass of its lively green color, the trees around it were without any leaves. And everywhere were bandaged ponies. But her biggest concern as of now was the Cerberus. She worked hard to get the beast to return to Tartarus, and Fluttershy was very worried about it. "Oh please be alright..." Fortunately, her prayers were answered, as the Cerberus was seen in its proper place; it front of the gates, which has been finally closed. The Cerberus had major bruises, its legs and tow of his heads were bandaged. When it saw Fluttershy, it barked happily, and each heads licked the approaching mare. "Thank goodness! Did the mean monsters hurt you bad?" asked Fluttershy. In response, the Cerberus barked triumphantly, as if to say "They're nothing against me!" Then, Colonel Heracles appeared, nary an injury upon him. "Miss Fluttershy? You're still here? I thought I told the Lieutenant to escort you to safety." said Herc as he glared at the colt, who smiled sheepishly. "Oh, please don't blame Lieutenant Leeroy, Colonel. He DID carried me to safety to the medical tent, and he was there when I woke up!" "Did he now?" said the colonel, glancing Leeroy with one eyebrow raised. "Um, are you alright yourself, Colonel?" asked Fluttershy, "I noticed that, some of the ponies here were...terribly injured. If it's okay, may I ask how could you look unharmed? If that's alright with you that is..." Hearing this, timid, meek pegasus asking him like that made him laughed, he did so loudly. "Oh, Miss, you flatter me with such questions! Those fiends may have numbers on their side, but I have the strength and experience to beat them down with my own hooves!" "Yeah, Uncle Herc's the toughest stallion in the family, not even my father Argo Nought could beat him in hoof wrestling. And he's been a triathlon athlete for thirty years!" said Leeroy cheerfully, "Well, guess that brother of mine better train more." Unbeknownst to the ponies, a mysterious humanoid figure watched from afar, it had skin as red as dried blood, it face was the most hideous thing nopony have ever seen. with a bulgy head, making it looked like a crown of flesh, and a pair of white pupil-less eyes. Its mouth had a pair of fangs protruding from his lower jaw. The figure covered itself in rag, disguising itself from others. It then chuckled evilly, as he walked away from the vicinity, "Foolish equines... Your days are now numbered." The Amazon Jungle, Night Time Campfire burned within the jungle. Kamen Rider Amazon, who was now in human form, scuttled the fire, making it lit brighter. He was eating his dinner, a dozen fishes and an entire capybara, freshly cooked. Daisuke Yamamoto, or Amazon, as he preferred his given name, looked upon the heavens, admiring the beautiful night. Had he stayed in the city, the lights will surely dim the starry skies. When he but an infant, he had lost his parents in a plane crash years ago. He was the only survivor. Soon after, he was adopted by an Incan tribe, they were one of the few surviving remnants of the mighty Inca Empire. Since then he became a wild child. However, his life was changed when the Incas who adopted him were massacred by the Ten Faced Demon Gorgos. He was searching for an artifact, said artifact was the armlet Amazon wore. Amazon tried to fend off the demon, but as a mere mortal, he was easily defeated. The Inca Elder Bago found Amazon gravely injured, and performed a mystical operation using a mixture of Incan science and magic on Amazon to safe his life. Per his instructions, Amazon went to Japan, his homeland, to find a Professor Kōsaka. The professor was the only one who knew the true nature of the GiGi Armlet, which was in fact a piece of a pair of armlets. The other half was the GaGa Armlet. If joined together, the user will be granted power beyond imagination, and Gorgos was sent under the command of Great Emperor Zero of the Garanda Empire to retrieve both. Unfortunately, Gorgos had already obtained the GaGa Armlet, and after finding out who possessed the other half, he will stop at nothing to get it. Despite the dangers that lurked, Amazon discovered the bright side of the event; he had found a friend in the professor's nephew, Masahiko Okamura. The boy taught Amazon the ways of the world, not to mention teaching him how to speak coherently. Masahiko helped the wild man overcome his culture shock of the modern world. His sister, Ritsuko, also helped Amazon to socialize among the people. Alas, tragedy befell upon them when Gorgos discovered the possessor of the GiGi Armlet. Professor Kōsaka lost his life during the attack. Amazon escaped with the Okamura siblings, and along the way, they met Tobei Tachibana. He was the mentor of the first five previous Kamen Riders before Amazon. But the other five were scattered back then, righting wrongs across the world. Coincidentally, when he met Tachibana, Amazon somehow managed to retrieve a motorcycle that belonged to Gorgos. The bike was manufactured using an unknown form of technology, and it appeared to be semi-sentient. Tachibana asked Amazon to ride the bike, as a Kamen Rider should, but the wild man was reluctant, due to having fear of motorized vehicles. But when Gorgos' goons captured Masahiko and Ritsuko, Amazon rode the bike without hesitation to save the two. "Such a long time ago... Amazon still wonder... How Masahiko-kun and Ritsuko-chan are doing now." said the man as he slowly fell into slumber. "At least Amazon has you, Jungler." he motioned the bike, the very same one he rode all those years ago, "Jungler never let Amazon be alone." The Jungler responded by blinking its lights, or "eyes", as it was designed as such. The Jungler's design was extreme, even to bikers' standards. It's entire body was red, it's eyes were green, and there were huge bony fins from each side. The bike almost resembled a skull of a vulture. "Amazon has friends too; other Kamen Riders before and after me. They are like Amazon's brothers... But Amazon still feels... that something's missing." Before he could ponder even more, Amazon finally fell asleep. Unbeknownst to him and the Jungler, a great ball of light suddenly surround them. After a few seconds, it disappeared, alongside Amazon and his trusty bike. Equestria, Next Wednesday It was morning, and Twilight Sparkle had a very lively week. After being told by her future self that something will happen next Tuesday, which was yesterday now, she panicked for a week as she and her friends tried to prevent from any upcoming disaster. Turns out there was nothing to worry about at all. Aside form Fluttershy recounting her story at the Gates of Tartarus, everything went back to normal. Except now there was a hairless ape and a giant two-wheeled machine inside her library. Her life will soon become more hectic.
Amazon Enters Ponyville!A/N: You could also find this in Fanfiction.net if I didn't told you all before. Episode 3: A Whole New World! Amazon enters Ponyville! Wednesday at Ponyville was just another average day for its denizens. Even though the week before this day was a hectic one, they still manage to sustain a peaceful livelihood. However, for a certain purple coated unicorn, this Wednesday was not an average day for her. After spending an entire week trying to prevent some sort of disaster foretold by her future self, Twilight Sparkle had a rough week. Fortunately, despite a rampaging Cerberus and renovating the entire town during that week, said disaster never occurred. Because in the end, her future self was about to tell her not to worry about next Tuesday, which was yesterday. Had she just listened to her future self, Twilight wouldn't have overworked herself trying to prevent a nonexistent disaster. Then again, if she didn't the rampaging Cerberus and the aged parts of Ponyville would've brought an even worse disaster. "Note to self: Always listen no matter what. Can't believe I did all that and it's my own fault!" said Twilight Sparkle as she rearrange her library books. It was nine in the morning, and this mare was already working hard. "Well, if you didn't do all that, would be have an even bigger disaster! Remember that Cerberus? Man, I wonder who let that oversize dog out?" said Spike, a little purple dragon with a bit of green on him. As Twilight Sparkle's Number One Assistant, he was always helping her. But not today, the young dragon was bedridden thanks to overeating buckets of ice cream. "Aw, crud. Why did I thought it was a good idea to ate all those ice cream..." "Oh, Spike, it's alright." said Twilight, "It's a good thing I found a spell that would make it easier for you to move without throwing up, I can't believe that flaming ice cream chunk you threw out yesterday! Was that even possible?" "Uh, yeah... I hope the carpets weren't too expensive..." As Twilight continued her work, she remembered the story Fluttershy told when she returned the Cerberus back to the Gates of Tartarus, "So Spike, still remember what happened when Fluttershy brought the Cerberus back to the gates? What do you think?" asked the mare to her young companion, "I dunno, Twilight; I think a giant demonic rhino walking on two legs fighting the Cerberus would make an awesome story though." "Spike, did you forget all those poor soldiers who defended the gates with their lives? She said that there were so many wounded ponies." Twilight and her friends may have faced great dangers, but demons breaking out of Tartarus may as well be Armageddon to Equestria. "Aw, you worry too much. I'm sure those soldier have been trained well to handle any situation!" said Spike, arms spread out with excitement, "Why, if any of those fiends appear, I oughta give 'em a fistful of fire! No way I'm letting those things hurt you guys- Ow..." The rumble in his tummy painfully affects the dragon, he rubbed it gently to calm it down, "Oh man, this doesn't feel good at all..." After finishing her library duties, Twilight walked up towards her bed area, checking on Spike. "Thank you, Spike. I'm sure you'll give those things a piece of your mind... Or maybe you could give them a fiery chunk of ice cream instead?" said the mare, teasing the dragon. "Very funny, Twilight." Suddenly, Twilight felt a slight vibration, coming from downstairs. "Spike, did you felt that?" "The only thing I feel is my stomachache, why did you ask?" Before she could answer, a flash of light, followed by an explosive force shook the treehouse. Panicking, the two ran downstairs to see what happened. When they arrived, the place was a mess. "My books! After all the rearrangement I just did..." "Never mind the books, what is that?" Spike pointed at the epicenter of the explosion, fortunately, no was seen in the vicinity. However, the two discovered something strange; one was a large, two-wheeled... something. The other, was a creature they have never seen before. "Spike... who is that?" "Don't look at me, Twilight; I don't even know what he is!" A few minutes later... Amazon felt something pressing on his back, it was wood. Not that of a tree's root, but a wooden floor. And the air smelled fresh, with none of the usual stench of the jungle. For some reason, Amazon's body felt stiff, he was proven right when his joints cracked as he struggled to get up. "Urgh... Amazon feels weird... Where is Amazon?" Then, his eyes met with another's, but what surprised him was that those eyes belonged to a horned pony; a unicorn. The wildman was baffled at the discovery of a mythological creature who was standing right in front of his eyes. He then noticed a small bipedal reptilian, it looked young through Amazon's eyes. Amazon squatted, and moved his head sideways. The purple coated unicorn then slowly approached him, "Um... Hello? Can you understand me?" The wildman was taken aback; meeting weird creatures was one thing, but talking animals was something he never expected, "Grah! How could pony talk? Who are you?" Amazon took a defensive stance, hands spread out, with fingers posed like claws. He growled at the two, "C-calm down, we're not going to hurt you. My name is Twilight Sparkle, and this is Spike. What's yours?" Amazon was confused, first he wasn't in the jungle anymore, now he met a talking unicorn. But her kind words slowly calmed him, "... Amazon. My name... Amazon." Suddenly, a blue streak flew into the house, causing a slight flow of gale, "Twilight! What happened, I thought I heard an explosion coming from your house and... and... Who the hay is that?" said the blue coated, rainbow maned pegasus as she pointed her hoof towards Amazon. Then, the front door opened revealing more ponies, Amazon observed that each of them were unlike any equines he had encountered on Earth. One pony were orange coated, blond and wore a cowboy hat. Next was a pony who was pink allover. Then, a white unicorn with fabulous looking purple mane. And finally, another pegasus, this one had pink mane and a light yellow coat. The multicolored ponies confused Amazon even more. Why such odd coloring? How could they be able to talk? And most importantly, where is he? "RRRRAAAAH!!! Stay back! No come closer!" yelled Amazon as he took a step back, still on his guard. The hatted pony then said, "Whoa there, pardner! We ain't gonna hurt nopony! Just calm down and... what are you, anyway?" then, the blue pegasus spoke, "Yeah, what are you, some kind of... hairless monkey?" she folded her hooves as she floats through the air. "Well, whoever he is, we should throw a party for him! I mean, look at him; he's big, he's strange, and most importantly, a newcomer!" the pink pony proclaimed as she hopped in excitement. "Pinkie Pie, please." said the white unicorn, her voice had an air of grace as she speak, "This... person is obviously frightened, if you throw a party, I'm afraid the poor thing would panic!" The pink maned pegasus took a glance at the so-called hairless monkey, and when he looked at her with a fierce glare, she immediately hid behind one of the ponies. "Everypony calm down!" said Twilight, "Please, this... person is frightened. He doesn't know where he is and he's probably confused." "By the way, sugahcube, where did he come from? Ah never seen anytin' like him before..." asked the orange pony, "I don't know, Applejack. One minute I was rearranging the books and the next he just... appeared out of nowhere. Look, I know he's scary, but this is something nopony have ever seen before. We don't know what he's capable of." Unbeknownst to the six, Spike slowly approached the big hairless monkey. He growled towards the young dragon, but Spike pressed on. "Hey, calm down. We're not gonna hurt you okay? I'm Spike, and those six are my friends." Hearing the word 'friends', Amazon began to remember things; memories of the friendship he has gathered ever since returning to Japan. "Ponies... friends?" asked the wildman. "Um, yeah, don't worry, I know you're scared, but they're the friendliest ponies you will ever met. I promise they won't hurt you." Twilight then noticed that Spike was talking to the hairless monkey, "Spike? What are you doing?" the dragon replied, "Don't worry Twilight, he's not gonna hurt me." True to his words, Amazon lowered his arms and knelt. He then gave a big grin, followed by a hand motion. He first interlocked his fingers together, then held both cupped hands in front of Spike, with both pinkie fingers pointing up. "Spike... Friend." realizing what the hand gesture meant, Spike mimicked him and showed Amazon his Sign of Friendship. "Yeah... Amazon's my friend too!" Happy with the new bond of friendship he just made, Amazon picked up Spike and held him high above his head, he laughed with joy to his younger friend, "Spike's... Amazon's new friend!" Spike didn't expect Amazon to pick him up, but he was too happy to care, "Whoa! You're so strong! Nopony could lift me like that before!" Twilight smiled at the two, such interactions were fascinating to her, but for now she's happy that Spike made a new friend, "Well, at least he's calmed down now. So Spike; mind introducing us to him?" "Oh, yeah. Amazon, let me introduce you to my friends." Still being held by Amazon, Spike pointed towards the six ponies, "The purple one is Twilight Sparkle, she's a librarian and I'm her assistant. The one with the hat is Applejack, she and her family owns an apple farm." she then nodded towards Amazon, "Nice to meet ya, Amazon." Spike then pointed to the blue pegasus, "That's Rainbow Dash, she's the fastest pegasus in Equestria and nopony can't beat her!" Rainbow Dash responded by flying quickly around the house, "Heck yeah! I'm the best flyer around, and one day I will join the Wonderbolts to be the best flyer ever!" "You said it, RD. Now that's Pinkie Pie, she throws the best parties ever." "Ooh, I wonder if he likes cupcakes, I could make hundreds of them. Or maybe some pancakes? Everybody loves pancakes, they're so delicious!" "Uh... She does that most of the time." Spike then introduced the last two, "Next, is Rarity. She's the local tailor and one of the best in Equestria! "Aw, thank you Spike, but I'm not that good. I only make the best for my customers." "And finally, we have... Fluttershy, where are you?" Spike looked around, and saw the mare hiding behind Twilight. "Fluttershy, it's alright, "said Spike, "He's not gonna hurt you, promise." Reluctantly, she walked slowly towards Amazon. Noticing her fearfulness, he put Spike down and kneeled, "Amazon... Scared ponies. Amazon sorry for that. Amazon promise... no hurt ponies." He held his palm to his heart, reassuring her of his promise. "Oh, it's okay... It's nice to meet you, Mister Amazon." said the mare with a sweet smile. Amazon returned her smile by performing his Sign of Friendship, "Ponies... Amazon's Friends." The six smiled at his acceptance. Amazon may not know where he was, but knowing that there are friendly people in that place, surely no terrible crisis have ever happened in Ponyville. ...Or is it? Hope I get the Mane Six's personality right, God help me if I put Zecora in the story, I can't think of a decent rhyme lol College life delays my updates, not to mention thinking of what's going to happen next in the story. Next chapter will have more action; RIP AND TEAR!
