Eternal Reveal: Protect the Princess of Magic

1st Person POV: Ichigo

A month and a half; for nearly a month and a half I have been waiting for the signal Kami said was suppose to arrive soon and that waiting is DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!

No...I shouldn't blame my rage on the waiting; but instead of where it rightfully belongs. Myself and my inability to access the full powers of Eternal.

What am I talking about??? Well, the Eternal Armor has three different forms a person can access, Red Flare -the form I had first activated-, Blue Flare, and Strengthening Armament forms. Red Flare is the most basic form of Eternal with fire controlling abilities along with increased speed, strength, agility, you know the usual super armor power ups; but it is actually the weakest of the three forms and can be accessed by anyone whether or not they are fully compatible with the Eternal Memory...At least until someone comes along with fully compatibility then it will only work for that person.

Blue Flare is the True Form of Eternal: the Gaia Memory that rules over all. But since Eternal is a fickle memory -according to one of the villains in Kamen Rider W (pronounced Double), Jun Kazu- that form can only be awakened by a person with a high to perfect compatibility rate. Not only does it have the power to access the abilities of any Gaia Memory without transforming into it, but it can also deactivate or even completely shut down any Gaia Memory that is not in the same Generation as it. And since Eternal is a third generation Gaia Memory -or T2 Gaia Memory- the last list is a short one.

Yet despite all of my knowledge of the Eternal Gaia Memory and having been chosen by it supposedly, I still cannot awaken Blue flare no matter what I do. No amount of medication, training, or anything has allowed me to push past the wall that stood between me and the full power of Eternal. Sure I have been able to push my frustrations over not fully awakening Eternal to the side -mainly by training with the other T2 Gaia Memories, learning all I can about their powers- to keep myself from going crazy with rage; but only just. The rage increased briefly some when I saw that a few of the memories were not the ones I remember seeing in the Kamen Rider W movie such as the T2 Memory that stood for P -Puppeteer- was changed to another Memory that I never even heard of; Pegasus.

I also tested my new body to see where it's limits were and how I could push past them thanks my transformation into a still live and kicking, Necro-Over: a person that has been revived through the use of a special bio-stimulant and transformed into super soldiers with increased strength, speed, agility, and monstrously inhuman pain resistance. Why do I call it monstrous??? A great example of a Necro-Over's pain resistance would be in Kamen Rider W Forever: A to Z/Gaia Memories of Fate where one member of NEVER crashed into a pile of debris and gained not only a dislocated shoulder from it, but also what seemed to be a broken neck. His response??? To punch both his neck and his arm back into place before jumping into the fray a second later.

Thankfully because I was still alive when I became a Necro-Over, I don't suffer the same problems as they did such as my skin feeling cold all the time or having to take a regular injection of bio-stimulants to keep my body from disintegrating. I still have to be careful not to loose myself to these new powers or I could not only lose my empathy, but also my memories as well.

Another thing I have been doing since I have appeared in this world is gather as much information I could without revealing myself. Thankfully Kami-sama must have predicted this because after I finally found a temporary base in the forest, a large duffle bag appeared beside me where I slept after the first night filled with quite a few goodies for me to use. Some were basic surveillance equipment (map making tools, compass, binoculars, etc.), other were weapons -most of them concealable-, and the rest was survival gear like camp stoves, a sleeping bag, etc., which basically tripled what I originally had in my Bug Out Bag. But one item that really made me smile was a composite bow that was an exact match to a bow I had seen in a movie before -Blade Trinity I think.

Pushing that to the side, I used my new equipment to not only keep myself fed, but also scout out the Castle and it's inhabitants who startled me the first time I saw that they were ponies; anthropomorphic ponies! Complete with a short muzzle, short coats of fur, tails, hoofs instead of feet, and hands. To add to that there were three different types -well four but that's will come later. A majority of the ponies in the castle had horns showing they were unicorns, while other had wings like a Pegasus, and others had neither one. But there were two of the ponies that had both wings and horns that all the others treated like royalty.

Of course none of that mattered to me since I was just surveying the ground, though one of them did catch my attention. She was rarely seen during the day but a lot at night and seemed to the younger of the two... Alicorns I called them. Her fur was a dark blue almost purple color with a midnight blue mane and tail that seemed to sparkle as if they has stars in them. Any and all dresses she wore always seemed to be the same color as her coat with a silver crescent moon somewhere on it such as a pin or a embroidery. Every time I saw her I could not help but blush from how beautiful she was despite how some would probably say her sister was the most beautiful of the two.

Nonetheless I waited with ever increasing agitation towards the Eternal Memory for the first sign of when I would be needed and finally it arrived...the day where everything seemed to flip on it's head somehow before going back to normal. With the date of when everything would go down in place, I got myself ready to discreetly enter the castle where supposedly a new member of royalty was going to be introduced. I just hope that whatever was going to happen, I can stop.

Third Person POV

Nighttime in Canterlot, normally there would be few ponies out and about in the clubs and bars around the castle town; but since the introduction of a new princess, Twilight Sparkle the once student of the Princess of the Sun Celestia and the Element of Harmony known as Magic, few ponies were asleep. The new Alicorn smiled as her friends and family laughed, ate, drank, and basically had a good time at her coronation after party. The Unicorn turned Alicorn was still wearing the same dress she wore that morning made by Rarity for her that was unsurprisingly comfortable despite having worn it for the majority of the day with her dark violet mane slowly uncurling back to it's normal style. Watching as her friends happily partied, a small sliver of worry still etched itself in her heart as she wondered if her friends would still treat her like normal or differently thanks to her new station.

"Hey Twilight," the new Alicorn heard behind her and turned around to see her friend Applejack walked up to her.

The light brilliant gamboge earth pony walked up to her friend wearing her usual clothing of white button up shirt -tied up at the bottom to show off a little bit of her stomach- a light brown vest over it, blue jeans over her legs and her usual cowpony hat on her head. Her green eyes were still sparkling with happiness for her friend as she sat down beside Twilight.

"How come you're not joining the party Twilight?" she asked with her unique accent, "It is for you anyways sugarcube."

A sad smile made it way onto Twilight's lips as she replied, "I know Applejack but I can't help but be worried about how everyone will react to my ascension. Will they still treat me as they normally do or differently because I am a Princess now."

"Is that what you're worried about?" Applejack asked a bit startled before smirking, "I don't know about the other girls; but I know that you are still the Twilight that became my friend three years ago; and nothing will ever change that. And I'm sure the others will feel the same way if you asked them." she then looked left and right quickly before leaning close to her Unicorn-turned-Alicorn friend, "Thought between you and me I would watch out for Rainbow Dash. She may ask you to put in a good word about her to the Wonderbolts despite what she said a few weeks ago.

Twilight could not help but giggle as she saw that in her mind which blew away all but the smallest amount of worry away. "Thank you Applejack," she said hugging the first friend she had met in Ponyville -not counting Pinkie since she barely said hi to her before she took off to plan a welcome party. Soon the party started to get to her as she tried to hold back a yawn with her gloved hand, "Well I think I'm going to turn in. I will have a few more things to do before we can return to Ponyville."

With that she got up from her seat and began to walk about to her room bidding everyone she passed a goodnight; thought she discreetly dodged her old mentor -Princess Celestia's- hands since Princess Luna and a few guards had warned her about her 'plans' for Twilight if what the elder Alicorn had predicted came true. As she went back to the castle; two shadows watched her leave. One shadow was quietly confirming that Twilight was the target and silently went after her while the other was not as sure, but followed its gut which all but screamed to go after her.

A few minutes later -after dodging a few aristocrats who wanted to get in some favors from the newest princess- Twilight reached her room and after stripping off the dress carefully, put on her modified PJs while making a mental list of what she had to do tomorrow. As she did finished, the Alicorn heard a soft thump behind her and before she knew it felt something pin both her arms and new wings to her body before a collar wrapped around her neck. Twilight tried to call out to the nearest guard; but a gag was quickly stuffed into her mouth before an arm wrapped around her body and pulled her into another one.

Looking behind her, Twilight paled as she saw a light grey porcelain mask of a fox facing her hiding the mare behind it as a strange black bodysuit covered her from neck to hooves -minus the arms which revealed her ash grey fur between the shoulder and her gloves, with a light grey vest over her upper body.

"Forgive me for doing this, Element of Magic," the mare said with a strange accent that reminded Twilight of ponies from Neighpon, "But since Celestia-himesama decided to not heed our warning, my clan must set an example. We will not allow the Alicorns to repopulate the world as they did before Discord ruled the world and threaten its balance." Twilight eyes grew to the size of plates as she heard that declaration as the mare pulled out a Tanto style dagger. "Forgive me," the mare said one more time as she lifted the dagger up into the air then quickly brought it down.

As is sliced through the air, time seemed to slow down as Twilight's life flashed before her eyes while her magic tried to break through the restraining collar around her neck. Memories quickly raced through the new Alicorn's mind as the dagger seemed to inch ever so closer to her neck where certain memories became even more prominent in her mind; but before Twilight could fully process them...

A weighted wire suddenly wrapped itself around the mare's right arm and pulled it back along with the dagger. Both Princess and Shinobi were forced to looked back and saw -unbeknownst to them- Ichigo wearing her usual Kunochi clothing but with a dark navy blue cloak attached to her neck with a sapphire clasp that had a tilted golden 'E' on it. The wire she had used to grab the other ninja's arm was connected to a device on her left arm as she held the wire back with her fingerless-gloved hands.

"I don't know what is going on," She said to the stunned mares while hiding that she was using almost all of her strength just to hold back the arm despite her newly enhanced body, "but I know an assassination attempt when I see one and I will not allow you to go through with it."

As she spoke, this gave Twilight the time she needed to break through the collar's grip on her magic -stunning the assassin as it popped with sparks before breaking- before the new Alicorn quickly used her magic to pull out the gag and called for help.

[Naruto Shippuden: Flying Light]

"GUARDS!!!!"

Not a second later; Princess Luna's Night Guards quickly busted the door down and -after taking in the scene- went after the one holding their new princess hostage. Knowing a lost opportunity when she saw one, the ninja quickly pushed Twilight into the guards stunning them as she quickly escaped the wire -causing Ichigo to stumble a bit from the lost force- before rushing for the only way out... the balcony window. Ichigo quickly followed the enemy ninja as the wire reeled itself back into the hidden device only to be stopped when the mare jumped the guardrail and to new Rider's shock, a miniature hang glider popped open on the enemy's back, sailed her over the castle walls into the rooftops.

Without thinking, Ichigo jumped back a few feet before charging forward leaping off the balcony to the new princess' and guards' shock. As she fell, Ichigo threw her weighted wire out where it caught another balcony and used it to swung through the air -using both hands to hold onto the wire so as not to lose her arm- and when she reached the end of her arch, pulled back the wire and once more launched it at another balcony to swing over the castle walls and onto the rooftops beyond. And with that she charged after the enemy kunochi who had landed a couple of rooftop beyond where Ichigo touched down and took off after the wings pulled back into her vest.

Back over to Twilight, the new Alicorn quickly pulled her jaw off the floor and took off after the two; but not before performing a quick change spell that switched her into her normal everyday clothing of knee length skirt, with button up shirt with a light purple vest over it. The guards were quickly on her heels... At least until Twilight remembered one of her most used spells, teleporting back to the party and next to startled Princess Celestia and Luna.

"What's wrong Twilight?" the princess of the sun barely got out before ponies started screaming as something whistle through the air and planted itself right before the elder princess. She jumped back and as she saw the kunai pierce her slice of cake quite stunned by what just happened.

Everypony quickly looked up to see the two ninjas battling it out on the rooftop; sparks, kunai, and shuriken flying as they danced with death beside them waiting to see whose soul it would reap.

Twilight quickly pointed to the two fighters as she said, "the one in the mask just tried to kill me; but the mare in the cape saved me before the masked one could."

Instantly, Celestia's eyes hardened as she quickly turned to the fighters; but because of the speeds they were going at could not get a spell to lock onto them while being forced to dodge the occasional stray kunai that the cloaked one was forced to block.

Ichigo jumped back from a slash at her stomach and threw a small barrage of kunai at her enemy when she landed before charging forward pulling her Wakizashi out. The enemy ninja was forced to block the attacks with her own sword before slashing at Ichigo who power slid under the blade. After the blade passed by her nose the foreign girl sprung back up swinging her left foot at the enemy.

The masked kunochi quickly leaned back matrix style canceling into a series of backflip which until the end of the rooftop where she landed on the edge, spun around, then took off once more. Undeterred, Ichigo ran after her opponent sliding her sword back into it's sheath, pulling out a handful of shuriken as she did so. When the masked one tried to go left, Ichigo let the blades fly forcing her to roll under them, canceling some of her momentum. With that opportunity made, Ichigo poured on the speed using the wall of a taller house in front of her to wall run briefly keeping her momentum while changing directions back towards the kunochi.

A few seconds later she was forced jump onto a nearby rail when the masked ninja threw a handful of makibishi/caltrops behind her hoping to pierce the heroine's feet with them. Unfortunately this gave Ichigo a crazy idea; which came into fruition when the masked kunochi stupidly looked back at the edge of a rooftop. A second later, Ichigo jumped towards the kunochi, her cape briefly giving her a demonic appearance as it waved behind her just before the girl grabbed the mare by her neck, bringing her down.

Then just seconds before they hit the ground; the more experiences kunochi pulled the arm with her captor back and thrust it forwards, slamming the mare's back into the ground which formed a small crater which nearly made her lose her mask. Ichigo landed a bit more safely then the enemy thanks to her enhanced body while keeping a hold of her opponent's neck, pulling her free right arm back to punch the mare just in case.

[End song]

Every-pony that was watching were shocked by the fight they just witnessed and how brutal the other 'mare' was. The only who wasn't was a cyan furred Pegasus mare with wide sparkling magenta eyes that had rainbow colored mane/tail that looked naturally messed up, wearing a light blue jacket and white sleeveless jacket with blue jean shorts.

"That was so awesome!!!" she shouted quickly breaking the trance all the ponies were in.

Ichigo just ignored that as she glared at the enemy kunochi through her glacial cold sapphire blue eyes. "I don't know why you tried to assassinate that Alicorn," she said confusing everyone briefly as the heroin continued, "But if you don't start talking..." flicking her wrist upward, a thin bar suddenly popped out of her sleeve before a blade flipped out stunning every-pony with its appearance as Ichigo continued, "You're soon going to be short one eye."

Having seen enough, Princess Celestia -despite wanting the strange mare to punish the one who just tried to kill her student- grabbed both warriors with her magic and pulled them away from each other much to Ichigo's shock.

"There will be no violence here," she said as a stunned Ichigo turned her head towards the princess as she was brought closer to the elder Alicorn, "I thank you for saving Twilight, but please sheathe your blade."

Briefly thinking about not doing as the powerful Alicorn said, Ichigo reluctantly slid her blade back into it's mechanism which earned her a motherly smile from Celestia as the night guards quickly grabbed the masked kunochi. Celestia sat the 'mare' down where she was instantly tackle hugged by Twilight almost bowling the poor girl over.

"Thank you so much for saving me!" she all but shouted while trying it squeeze the stuffing out of her heroin; before pulling back with a wide smile, "My name is Twilight Sparkle; newly crowned princess of Equestria. That is so strange to say..." she muttered to herself briefly before she began to introduce her friends. "This is Rainbow Dash."

"What you did was so awesome!!!" the Pegasus mare shouted as she jumped into the air and looped once before landing.

"Applejack..."

"Nice to meet you," the cowpony said with a smile, her accent reminding Ichigo of people from Texas, "Thank for saving our friend from that varmint."

"Not a problem," Ichigo replied with a smile behind her mask.

Twilight giggled a bit before continuing the introductions with a pink furred mare with super curly mane/tail -that reminded Ichigo of afros or something similar- with a pink blouse/skirt that had blue stripes along the sides and a bright smile. "This is Pinkie Pie."

"HiI'mPinkiePiebuteveryponyinponyvillecallesmePinkie.Itsnicetomeetanicemarelikeyou! HaveyouevergonetoapartycosIeanttoinviteyoutoa'WelcometoPonyville'party!!!" she spoke in one breath until Twilight placed a hand over her mouth as she sweat dropped in embarrassment.

"Sorry about that," she said sheepishly before pointing to her next friend who was a white furred unicorn with an expertly curled mane/tail and fingernails wearing a light blue dress with gems along the bottom, "This is Rarity."

"Thank you so much for saving our friend darling," Rarity said with a somewhat heavy British accent that made Ichigo glad she had a mask covering the lower part of her face and a smile.

"I'm just doing the right thing ma'am," Ichigo replied white scratching the back of her head in embarrassment from the rare praise she was getting.

Before anyone else could say anything Ichigo heard a voice call out that had her palling in shock.

= VIOLENCE!=

Ichigo quickly turned towards the voice just in time to see the guards get thrown away by the masked mare as she pulled out a strange item -a USB memory stick- that was blood red with dirty cream colored ribs along the sides and a similar colored sticker on the front with a clawed arm bent into the shape of a V.

"Gaia Memory!!!" Ichigo shouted in shock as she saw the unrefined Gaia Memory -or as she called them, Dopant Memories.

"I will not fail this mission!" the assassin shouted before slamming the end of the Memory into her left arm where a black tattoo of a USB port -a Living Connector- appeared as it absorbed the Memory into her arm with a strange sound. A second later a crimson aura covered her entire body as it morphed into a monstrous form. When the aura died down, Ichigo instantly recognized the new monster as the Violence Dopant but in a female form making it not as bulky in the chest area as the original Dopant was but the arms and legs were almost twice the size she remembered with the wrecking ball hand on her right arm.

Not a second later, the new Violence Dopant charged at the group causing Ichigo to shout, "SCATTER!!!" which all of them quickly did. Unicorn Night Guards quickly tried restrain the monster with their magic but for some reasons anytime their magic got close to it, the mana would dissipate back into the either. The Earth Pony guards tried their hand at restraining the monster but were quickly overpowered by her sending many into the walls and cracking bones on impact with her wrecking ball. Princess Luna took a shot at holding the Violence down with spell chains and succeeded briefly before the Dopant shattered them stunning the Princess as it turned to her.

Ichigo was helping a few guards up when she heard a girl scream and looked to see Princess Luna helping up a butter colored fur coated Pegasus with long light pink mane/tail wearing a light green blouse and a sky blue blouse that had tripped as the Violence Dopant barreled down on them. Without thinking, Ichigo decided to use one of her other gifts that she had barely even trained in, let alone mastered and hopped for the best.

"Hope to Kami this works," The kunochi said closed her eyes and a split second later they snapped open revealing that her left eye had changed from sapphire to wine red with crimson red bird wings seemingly flying out of her eye.

Twilight also heard the scream and turned to see her friend and fellow princess in the path of the monster then without thinking called out to them which quickly got her other friends' attention. Suddenly; a wine red sphere of energy was projected from Ichigo and encompassed the entirety of Canterlot stopping all time briefly as the magic within the kunochi's right eye and the magic of Equestria worked together actually slowing down time within the castle walls instead of making the mind think time had stopped. This was unknowingly ignored by Ichigo who quickly charged at the soon to be mowed down duo that were seconds from being pony pancakes.

A second later, all time returned to normal and Twilight gasped in horror as the Dopant had seemingly trampled her friend and Princess Luna... until she heard coughing and could not help the tears that started to form in her eyes when the dust settled down revealing that Ichigo had saved the two mares in the nick of time. Sure Twilight was curious about how she did it, but put her obsession for knowledge was overridden by her need to check on her friend.

Ichigo groaned as she barely saved the two mares from being trampled just before her Geass deactivated and used her body as a cushion to keep the two from getting hurt when she pushed them. Looking up she saw the two ponies looked at her with worry in their eyes; but she just smiled and got up as she said, "Glad you two are alright."

Both mares looked at her in shock, especially since her hood had fallen and revealed her auburn hair with blue highlights -which somehow stuck around despite that they should have faded by now- and her furless face. Unfortunately, Twilight called out, "Fluttershy! Luna!" briefly causing both mare to look towards the running Alicorn and friends allowing Ichigo to notice her fallen hood and slid it back up.

"Are you okay sugarcube?" Applejack asked as the kunochi slowly stood up on slightly shaky legs.

"Once I defeat that Dopant I will be," Ichigo replied as she stepped up in front of the stunned group at the same time the Violence Dopant turned her sights to Twilight and her friends.

"You are the one who forced me to take this form." the Dopant growled out in a distorted voice, "But I also have you to thank for allowing me to discover that I am immune to magic now. So I will thank you with a quick death!"

Ichigo just scoffed as she fiddled with her cloak and threw it off to the side before opening her jacket some and digging into it with her right hand, "If you think I am going to be easy prey... then obviously the Gaia Memory has already started to corrode your mind. Of course I will need a little help to fight on your level." As she stated that, the kunochi pulled her right hand out of her jacket holding up her own Gaia Memory causing the Dopant to gasp in shock.

"You're a dopant as well?!?!" she asked stunning the mares behind the heroine.

"Wrong!" Ichigo replied as she lower her raised arm while reaching behind her back with the unoccupied hand for a special pouch on her belt she had made and pulled out her key to victory as she spoke the same words her favorite Kamen Rider once said. "Ore wa...." the kunochi started as she held up her Lost Driver, "Kamen Raida da!"

[Canaan Opening - Mind as Judgement by Faylan]

And with that she placed the Driver at her waist, allowing the belt to wrap around her body before it connected to the other side and held the Driver/buckle in place. Once again she held up the Eternal Memory and pressed the button on it startling the watchers as it spoke in a voice similar to the Violence Memory but more human/pony sounding then the monsterous voice.

=ETERNAL! =

"Henshin!" Ichigo said as she placed the Memory into the Driver making it pulse as waves of golden energy were projected from the device along with the golden 'E' before the kunochi push the Driver to the side activating it.

=ETERNAL! =

Every-pony was forced to briefly look away as a ring of red and gold energy was projected out of the device along with a catchy tune before shattering and reforming onto Ichigo's body creating the Eternal Armor. And with that Ichigo introduced herself to the stunned ponies.

"Kamen Rider Eternal! Kenzan!"

Every-pony was stunned at the transformation which the Rider used to charge at the Dopant who quickly returned to normal and swung at her. Eternal blocked the attack and to everyone's shock stood her ground easily before pushing the offending arm away from her and began throwing punches rapid fire into the Dopant's gut sending the transformed mare stumbling back before an uppercut sent her flying into the air. Eternal quickly followed and spun around slamming a spin kick into the monster's gut bringing her back down to earth.

Eternal landed in a crouch and looked to the side to see the Dopant quickly climbing back to her feet where she swung her wrecking ball arm sending the iron call at her. The Rider quickly stood up and grabbed the wrecking ball sending her skidding back a few feet from the force before she stopped. Seeing her chance, Eternal grabbed the chain which connected Dopant to weapon and pulled. A second later, the Mare was sent flying towards Eternal who reached behind her back and pulled out another Gaia Memory -one that was emerald green with a unicorn's head, body, and tail in the shape of a 'U' on the sticker- sliding it into the black slot on the right side of her belt before slapping the button on it.

=UNICORN: MAXIMUM DRIVE!=

Clenching her right fist, lightning and wind gathered around her fist forming a drill of sorts which Eternal slammed into the incoming Dopant who screeched in pain as the energy/wind drill tore into her hardened body sending her flying back once more into a building. For a second there was no movement then suddenly the rubble burying the Dopant exploded revealing a pissed off monster.

"ONORE TEME!!!" The mare shouted but was overshadowed by another voice.

=PEGASUS:MAXIMUM DRIVE!=

The monster looked and saw that Eternal had taken a wide stance with her arms moving in a strange pattern as a silver and crimson aura surrounded her. The Rider -once she was finished tracing the stars in the Pegasus constellation- brought her right clenched fist to her waist with the left one high above her head before throwing a right hook at the monster shouting out her attack.

"PEGASUS! RYUUSEIKEN!"

From her fists what seemed like hundreds of beams of light blue energy shot out towards the monster and began punching her an endless amount of times which sent her flying once more into another building once the attack finished. Eternal looked at her smoking fist and scowled behind her mask.

'Still not powerful enough,' she thought before turning to the Violence Dopant pulled herself out of the ruble and shot once more to the Rider who easily ducked out of the way of the berserker rush while pulling out the Pegasus Memory and replaced it with a yellow one with golden crescent moon on it with two cuts in it forming an 'L'.

When she slid it into the black slot on the belt every-pony was stunned by what it said.

=LUNA: MAXIMUM DRIVE!!!=

The moon princess looked with wide eyes as the warrior charged towards the monster throwing her right arm back and to every-pony growing shock, it stretched until it reached almost a city block in length. The Violence Dopant turned around just in time to see Eternal in her face as the warrior shouted, "GUM GUM NO PISTOL!"

A second later, the stretched arm snapped back towards it's owner who slammed her fist 'charged' fist into the monster face once more sending the Dopant rolling back once more. When the transformed mare stopped she looked up and saw the Eternal was high above her with her right leg stretched out ever high towards the sky -literaly!

"GUM GUM NO STAMP!" Eternal shouted as she brought her rubber like right leg down at the Dopant who cried out as the armored foot slammed into her chest, sending her even further into the ground.

A few seconds later, Eternal pulled back her leg as she landed on the ground in front of the groaning Dopant. "Will you surrender," the Rider asked as she turned to the down monster, "Are do I have to kick your ass around the castle some more?"

"I will not give up!" the dopant shouted as she forced herself out of the ground throwing stone and dirt into the air with a roar, "I will not lose to a Kunochi wannabe!!! and I will not fail this mission!!!" and with a feral roar, she charged towards her opponent with red in her eyes.

Eternal easily side stepped the Berserker while pulling out the Luna Memory and placing it in the armor's subspace pocket. "Then this will clench it," the Rider said with a tone finality as she reached for the Lost Driver and pulled out the Eternal Memory which she placed in the black Maximum Slot.

=ETERNAL: MAXIMUM DRIVE!!!=

Crimson and gold flames formed around the Rider's right leg as she turned around and jumped high into the air stunning every-pony once more as her jump had taken her higher then the her previous ones which only reached the top of the buildings. She performed a front flip at her jumps arc then brought her right leg out concentrating the flames around the outstretched leg forming a drill as the Rider dropped down like a rock.

"SEIYA~" Eternal shouted as her burning foot made contact with the turning Dopant, slamming into her chest and sending her skidding back with a golden, burning 'E' branded onto her body.

The Kamen Rider pushed off the Dopant and landed; turning her back on the monster as she held her right arm out to the side with her thumb down saying, "Saa…jigoku o tanoshimina!"

Suddenly, the Dopant exploded in a fiery ball of flames causing every-pony to cry out in shock and fear but when the flames did, they revealed that the Assassin was still alive but knocked out with the shattered remained of the Violence Memory beside the fallen mare.

Eternal sighed in relief as her main Gaia Memory returned to the Lost Driver which she pushed back into it's default position allowing her armor to break apart into energy that returned to the ether before reached for the nearest -still standing- table where her cloak had landed and put it back on. A few seconds later she was surrounded by a few guards -at were still up or not surrounded in the down assassin- with Princess Celestia and Luna with Twilight and her friends behind them but ready for anything.

"It seem I have your thanks for saving my little ponies Eternal," the older princess said using the name Ichigo gave before her fight with the Dopant, "But I must ask that you come with us. I have a lot of questions for you."

The Rider smiled sadly behind her face mask as she replied. "As much as I would like to go with a beautiful mare like you; I have a few things to do." And with that she threw something into the air bringing every-ponies attention to it as Ichigo closing her eyes as she knelt down and threw her cloak over her head. A second later...

BOOM!!!

A bright light burst out of the thing Ichigo threw into the air blinding them and after a couple of seconds, the heroine quickly pulled her cloak off her head and took off. But not before leaving one of the princesses something.

After a minute all of the ponies finally got their sight back with Celestia more then a bit peeved as she turned to the guards, "Half of you take the wounded to the hospital, the rest; that that mare!"

"Yes, your majesty!" the guards replied before going to do as she asked.

"That may not be necessary sister," Celestia heard her sister point out and turned to her only to see Luna's bright red face as she looked down at her cleavage of her dress where a small white piece of paper was poking out.

Luna pulled out the paper -her face bright red with embarrassment, and opened up the note. After a few seconds reading it her face cooled down as she began to giggle a bit before handing it to Twilight who read it out loud.

For the one who get this note;

I'm not sure this note will be needed but better safe than sorry right? If you want to meet up with me to either talk or arrest me -I hope that will not be the case though- you can find me in the northwest part of the forest nearest the castle. I will be leaving up some discrete signs so that you can at least go in the general direction of my camp where I can find you if you do decide to come.

Signed:
Kamen Rider Eternal

P.S. If I had placed this note in an inappropriate location please forgive me. Despite protecting my eyes from the flash bang -if I used one- I can still get disoriented. I do hope I gave it to the dark furred Alicorn beauty that I have seen flying around.

Celestia, Twilight, and all of Luna's friends turned to the moon princess with wide smirks on their face making the poor Alicorn's blush return.

"Looks like someone has an admirer," Celestia said in a sing song voice with what many called her troll grin.

"TIA!!!" Luna shouted with an ever growing blush as her friends laughed and poked fun at her in a good naturedly way -except for Fluttershy who just smiled.

As the moon princess was being teased, a shadow looked at them from an alley way writing something on a scroll. The being then hightailed it out of there and into a building where it went towards a nonchalant place on the wall and discreetly opened it to reveal a glass jar with a crimson fire in it. Once the jar was opened the being -which was revealed to be a pony from the firelight but with no other discernible features showing- placed the letter into the jar and watched as the fire burned it before the ashes quickly gathering above the flames and shot off towards the east.

A few hours later, the ashes reached what looked to be a Sukiya-zukuri styled house where a crimson female dragon wearing black and crimson battle kimono was training in the yard. When the ashes were close enough, she caught them before it entered her mouth and reformed into a scroll. After opening and looking at the content, her eyes widened in shock at what was written before quickly rushing inside the house. After a few minutes she reached what could be called the master bedroom and entered it before sitting Seiza Style and bowing.

In front of her, meditating in front of a small shrine with some incense, was a brown furred pony with short auburn mane and tail wearing a brown Jinbei with his mane tied back with a black string.

"My Lord," the dragon spoke with a slightly accent while keeping her head down, "I have received a report from one of our spies in Canterlot. Your beliefs have been proven; one of the clans have tried to assassinate the new Princess, Twilight Sparkle."

"I see," the earth pony said in a deep rumbling voice with a depressing sigh, "Has Princess Celestia started to plan her funeral yet?"

"There is no need my Lord," the dragon replied as she sat up while placing the note down and pushing it towards her Lord, "Someone was able to save her...someone with Iga style training."

"WHAT?!?!" the ninja lord almost shouted in shock as he opened his crimson eyes and quickly turned around to grab the note behind him.

"And that is not the most surprising My Lord," the kunochi dragon continued, "The assassin had used one of those strange objects we have found on the enemy shipments we were able to salvage. And the Iga ninja who saved Princess Sparkle had something similar to it but different."

"Hmmm," the Ninja Lord hummed as he read the full report. "This is most disturbing news Ryuki," The Lord replied when he put the note down, "Do you think this 'Iga Ninja' could be discerned as one of ours?"

"Unless they have seen us fight face to face before Tanba-sama,” the dragon -Ryuki- replied, "Then no, but if they have..."

The ninja Lord -Tanba- scowled a bit as he thought things over, "There is too much speculation Ryuki... Have our spies keep a closer eye on Canterlot and Ponyville incase any of the other clans decide to use this opportunity to remind Celestia about her 'promise' to them and her late mother Faust-sama."

"HAI!" Ryuki replied bowing to Her Lord before taking off to do as she was ordered.

Tanba looked at the scroll once more as he stared at the words as if they would reveal the answers to this mystery. He could not help but think that this new development would be world changing in more ways than one.

‘Oji-san,' Tanba thought sending them to his deceased grandfather as he turned to look at the shrine he was meditating at where a picture of an old earth pony similar to Tanba but with a slight scowl on his muzzle sat, 'Was this the event you were talking about on your death bed?’


Author's Note

A quick author's note mainly to talk about this chapter. I really didn't come out as I wanted to but seeing as that my rating pretty much took a plummeting to the ground I would like to ask what you want me to change about this chapter or tell me what I did wrong; just please don't rip me apart.

Anyways; I decided to leave a translations of what Ichigo and the Assassin are saying bellow if you are interested.

Himesama ; A formal way of saying princess

Ore wa... Kamen Rider Da! ; I am... A Kamen Rider!

Kamen Rider Eternal: Kenzan! ; Kamen Rider Eternal; has appeared!

Onore Teme :Damn you Bastard!

Ryuuseiken : Meteor Strike

Gum Gum no Pistol/Stamp : Basically Gum Gum Pistol/Stamp

Saa... Jigou o tanoshimina! : Now... Enjoy Your Hell!

Oji-san : Grandfather

Also for those of you wondering where I got Tanba and the Iga clan, they are form Japanese legends about Ninjas with Tanba being the greatest Ninja Master during the Meijin Era of Japan while Iga was the country he and his family came from. Smithsonian Channel even did a special about ninjas revolving around Tanba.
