//------------------------------// // Omake: The Rider Cameo // Story: Kamen Rider Harmony // by smxsonic //------------------------------// Twilight Sparkle knew that battling Midnight monsters wasn’t easy. What didn’t make it any easier was that she was currently fighting Button Mash, the video game nerd. Who was getting an inordinate amount of power-ups. Magic was weird. She had already transformed into Kamen Rider Harmony, Sporting a black long coat with purple accents over a black leather body suit that had a chestplate bearing a purple star with six points, her normal ‘magic form’. In this form she could take a copious amount of punishment, but even now, Button Mash was handing her mask to her. Twilight looked at her opponent. The magic from Midnight had warped the poor freshman boy into some sembalance of a Knight, except wearing a brown longcoat similar to Twilight’s except it sported belts that seemed to serve no purpose. “I guess it’s time to end this boss fight.” Button said, “ I think I’m overleveled, though. This was too easy.” Twilight tried to rush him, but Button easily pushed her aside. He raised his sword to end the Battle. “PLANEPTUNE ADVENTURE!” A wave of purple energy spread past the two combatants. Button looked around to try and find out what was going on. “GA-SHAT-TO!~” Suddenly, Button Mash was hit with several unseen attacks at once. He staggered backwards and then he looked up. “ACCESS UP!” A Woman wearing a  purple leather one piece with a breastplate, armored gloves, and boots was crouching in front of Kamen Rider Harmony. The breastplate had an hp readout along with Icons that looked like a hammer and a sword. Her head was covered in a helmet that completely covered her face, save a visor that showed two exaggerated eyes on a black background. The cap of the Helmet looked like Neptune’s hair, but is was a hard piece, with two braided tassels coming from the helmet. “Close my eyes and feel it burn... Now I see what I gotta do! Open your heart, Planeptune Adventure. Alright!” Twilight stood up thanks to the distraction, but kept her eyes on the new person that just entered the battlefield. “A … Kamen Rider?” Twilight asked, more to herself than anything. The New Rider flourished her hammer, “Looks like a new challenger has appeared.” She then pressed a button on her hammer and a blade popped out of it. “Ja-Kin~!” The Rider then rushed at the Button Mash monster. He masterfully blocked all of her attacks, but in turn she was blocking all of his. Twilight took this opportunity to don one of her Rings and ran it over her belt. “Weapon, Please~!” Twilight’s sword materialized in her hand a proceeded to help her fellow Rider. The Fight proceed much smoother with the two of them fighting against one opponent. When Button  blocked one, the other would get an attack in. Button staggered backwards and bent forward in pain. “Aw Man… Another boss at the last minute? So not fair!”  Button whined. The new Rider looked at Twilight, “Shall we finish this?” Twilight nodded nervously and brought up her sword. She ran her transformation ring over the hilt over sword. “Magic! Slashing Strike! Charging...” The new Rider pressed the “B” button on her belt. “KIMEWAZA!” The two Riders readied their weapons and let energy envelop them. Twilight held her sword skyward at an angle while the New Rider did the same at the opposite angle. “Full Power!” “PLANEPTUNE CRITICAL CREWS-AID!” The two Riders swung their swords and the two waves of energy formed an “X” and hit Button square in the chest. Button fell backwards and exploded, leaving an untransformed Button Mash, dazed on the ground with a ball of light floating above him. The light ball flew into Twilight’s belt, and she closed it, cancelling her transformation. The New Rider took the cue and took out what seemed to be a weird cartridge from her belt. The Rider shrunk a bit and was revealed to be a young girl, no younger than Applebloom and her friends with short purple hair with D-Pad hair Decs wearing a white hoodie with purple accents. “Um… Thanks for the save back there,” Twilight began. The girl nonchalantly put her hands behind her head, “Yeah, no biggie, I was just going on my own adventure when I felt like somebody needed my help. Next thing you know I was in another dimension. Hope that doesn’t become a trend…” Twilight raised an eyebrow at that statement, but shook it off. She was used to Pinkie Pie. “Well, in any case, I didn’t expect to meet another Kamen Rider,” Twilight said as she held out a hand, “Twilight Sparkle, Kamen Rider Harmony.” The girl took the handshake, “My name’s Neptune, um… Kamen Rider...Um…” “Nep...Tunia?” Twilight offered weakly. “That sounds wrong, but sure let’s go with that!” “Anyway, Thanks again for the save!” Neptune smiled, “No Problem, Riders gotta help each other out, right?” Twilight’s Belt then chimed and a new Ring materialized from it. The ring looked different from Twilight’s other rings: It was a helmet that looked exactly like Neptune’s save for the hair, which was pink and sticking out like a hedgehog’s quills. “I’ve never had a Ring like this…” “Why would a Ring look like a Rider helmet?” Twilight shrugged but then offered the ring to neptune, “I want you to hold on to it, Something to remember me by.” Neptune took the ring, “Of course I’ll remember this… Unless I get amnesia again. Anyway Gotta get back to my world, See ya!” “Hope to see you again!” Twilight said as she waved goodbye. A strange chance encounter, but Twilight was used to strange. Neptune wasn’t her first friend from another dimension after all.
