Kamen Rider: Equestrian Shade

by The Dark Brony

Chapter 12

Author's Note:

This chapter contains a crossover with Kamen Rider Yokai and his story Crazy chaos future. Give his story a like and a follow to see what else happens with Yume.

I would also like to thank Matchilly for pre-reading the chapter and finding some errors we missed in editing.

As always I would love to hear your opinions on both the chapter and what you t think will happen in the future of the story

As Shade returned to Canterlot Castle’s throne room he phased back through the wall he had left through as he looked down to see Celestia and Luna talking to two ponies as he realised that they were the two ponies from the town he had saved earlier.

He then landed slightly behind the two ponies before making himself visible again as both ponies quickly turned around instantly noticing him before both suddenly bowed to him.

Now he could see the two ponies more clearly he saw that the first was a Unicorn Stallion that had a white coat, a bright blue mane and tail aking with blue eyes, he was wearing a slightly torn suit which Shade assumed had been damaged when he had been attacked by the monsters which made it possible for Shade to see his Cutie Mark that looked to be three golden crowns that had purple Jewel inside of them.

The other pony was a Unicorn Mare who had a white coat, pale pink mane and tail and light purple eyes, unlike the stallion beside her she was not wearing any clothes which Shade hoped had just been destroyed during the attack which meant he could see that she had a cutie mark that looked like three fleurs-de-lis.

As Celestia looked to the two of them she smirked before she said, “Shade it appears that whatever had occurred in town had been resolved, I assume it was your doing from the stories I have heard about from Mr Fancy Pants and Mrs Fleur De Lis.”

“I didn’t do anything really, I should showed up and allowed them to escape mostly unharmed,” Shade admitted as he rubbed the back of his head.

“Well, I can assure you, that you did much more than just show up,” Fancy Pants replied.

“I have to agree if you didn’t show up when you did I dread to think just what would have happened to us,” Fleur added.

“It really wasn’t a problem,” Shade admitted calmly.

“You’re selling yourself short, we simply must do something to thank you for saving us,” Fancy Pants offered.

At this Shade looked to Celestia as if he was saying, “help me.”

It was then she chuckled before saying, “I can assure you if he ever needs to take you up on that offer he will contact you with a request.”

At this Fancy Pants and Fleur, both looked to Celestia then to Shade before Fancy Pants said, “We understand, just remember if you need anything of us, just ask.”

“Don’t worry; if I ever need anything I’ll be sure to take you up on that offer,” Shade replied to him a smile.

At this, both ponies nodded to Shade before Fancypants said, “Well Prince Shade I will await a time of when I can pay you back for the deed you have done.”

“Wait, I think you made a mistake, I’m not...” Shade responded only to stopped as he saw both ponies bow to him, Celestia and Luna before leaving the room. “...a prince,” he finished as Luna chuckled at his reaction.

Celestia then looked to Shade sheepishly before she told him, “I may be at blame for this, they were asking about you after you saved them, and asked just who you were.”

“And I sort of tried to assist her in fixing the problem by stating that you had ties to our family, and they took it as if you were royalty.”

“So I have you to blame for this mess,” Shade groaned.

“I am afraid we did not have time to correct them before you returned,” Celestia admitted.

“You realise you have just made things very difficult in the future right?” Shade asked.

“Then we’ll just have to ensure we get our stories straight, you never know you could take the role of a prince,” Luna suggested with a smirk.

“You know, that isn’t such a bad idea if we did that you could have a bit more freedom in handling any of our monster problems,” Celestia admitted.

“Celestia, with all due respect, I don’t see how I’ve done anything worthy of being called that.”

“Maybe. Maybe not. Have you forgotten that you’re almost single-handedly handling our war against the monsters.” Celestia pointed out before adding “What about we call you Prince Shade The Alicorn of War?”

“Why would you even suggest that?”

“Well it would ensure that you would not have to deal with as many trivial matters as we have to, and it would give you free reign to handle them as you see fit,” Celestia pointed out.

“Celestia, are you telling me to take the task of handling Equestria National defence?” Shade asked with a smirk.

Celestia did not answer to begin with and just smiled back, “I’ll leave that choice to you. But I will say, being known as the Alicorn of War would hold a lot of weight on the minds of those who challenge you.”

“You are terrible Celestia,” Shade chuckled to himself before remembering what Harmony had told him before adding, “If I accept the task, I wish to take a look at your guards when they’re training, ensure they are up to the task of protecting everyone.”

At Alex’s request Celestia grimaced slightly before she said, “Are you sure you want to see that.”

“Yes am I sure and if my job would be to take care of the countries defence I need to see what we are like currently,” Shade stated before adding “It’s not like there that bad is it?”

“No, it’s not,” Celestia replied before hesitantly adding, “They will have another training session tomorrow morning, you will be able to cast your judgement on them then.”

“Relax, what's the worst that could happen,” Shade added as he placed a hand on her shoulder.

This caused Celestia to calm down slightly as she added, “Just don’t let what you end up seeing decide your opinion of my rule for the last thousand years.”

“Don’t worry it won’t,” Shade added with a smile before he heard a voice shout out his name seemingly in distress as a red portal that held the image that was on the front of his Eyecon appeared in front of him.

“It looks like I’m needed,” Shade admitted to Celestia and Luna.

Both then smiled at him before Celestia added, “Good luck, make sure to come back alive.”

“She means as alive as you are,” Luna added with a chuckle.

“It’s a deal,” Shade agreed with a chuckle as he ran towards the portal as it opening as a crimson glow filled the room before he passed through.

-Meanwhile-

It was a tense standoff between Kamen Riders Cyber and Glaive vs Night Rogue with the Rabbit Smash. They had been clashing for a while as Cyber was fighting Night Rogue while Glave faced the Rabbit Smash… needless to say, things were not going that well. The Rabbit Smash had a speed advantage on glave forcing the echo of the rider on the defensive. And Cyber had been not doing that well either as Night Rogue was unlike Glaive not hindered by shoddy medical practices throwing off his skills. And Cyber had to admit the dark rider was very more skilled then Glaive with both the steam gun and steam blade and it took a few quick evasions or deflecting which was wearing out an already tired Yume. Cyber had lost his glaive rouser deflecting a bullet shattering the data construct.

He had to admit but he needed help and prayed for a miracle if only so someone can hold off Night Rogue so he can recover his breath. It was after he made a dodge roll from another shot that Cyber noticed what had to be an Eyecon but not one he recognized. Picking it up as he dodged a slash this time Cyber looked it over. Similar to Ghosts but the black on the casing was crimson red instead and the image in the centre had a black background with an outline of a mask of some kind that had two large red circles that seemed to have a myriad of red lines that almost seemed to be dripping below from them, running down the face of the mask.

Cyber could hear a voice in his head shortly after. “To those who hold this Eyecon, I am Alex Shade, If you require the assistance of Kamen Rider Shade, click the side of my Eyecon and call out my name, be it for a conversation or to protect your world from your enemies and I will heed your call.”

“Well talk about just what I needed” Cyber muttered as he jumped back from Night Rogue.

He clicked the Eyecon.

“Alex!” he called deciding to pull a sora from kingdom hearts, only for nothing to seem to happen.

“Oh come on!” Cyber muttered barely blocking the steam blade with his default weapon and winced at the strength behind it and found himself skidding on his feet for a bit.

Then he saw what looked like a spectral seal like he saw from watching ghost only a bit more demonic with the face of the Eyecon’s persona in the centre.

“What?” asked Night Rogue confused as a lull in the battle happened as the combatants looked at the ghost-like seal that appeared.

It was then a chuckle was heard before a deep demonic voice chuckled out, “Like the light show,” before multiple gunshots were heard as bullets struck the back of Night Rogue, “because there's a lot more where those came from.”

Cyber looked behind Night Rogue to see a Ghost Rider with the transient armour looking red instead of either orange or blue on the lines outlining the skeleton with a demonic eye for the emblem on the chest with what looked like multiple bands on the arms. The Parka Ghost was a deep crimson with what looked like black chains hooked to the shoulders. His mask had the same look as the face of the persona.

“What’s with that face, never seen another Rider before?” The Rider asked with a slight chuckle that even then sounded twisted and distorted giving off an unnerving feel to his tone.

“Nah it’s not that just didn’t expect you to mean it with the Shade thing that is really authentic for your Rider Armor,” Cyber said pointing to glaive who was resuming the fight with the smash.

The Rider then took another volley of shots into the Night Rouge’s body and he quickly moved around him while opening fire on him until he reached the side of Cyber.

“Anyway thanks, even after knowing what Night Rogue does meeting the real thing is something else,” Cyber said.

“What the hell’s a Night Rouge?” the Rider asked in confusion.

“Dark Rider much like the Dark Necrom's, not a full Rider but this guy is really strong. He’s from Kamen Rider Build the latest Rider last I checked. I haven’t been a Rider for long, just got the power today,” Cyber explained with a shrug.

“Don’t worry then, I’ll help you deal with him. Oh and till we deal with this, call me Shade,” the Rider requested as his pistols he was holding disappeared into a set of green particles being replaced with a sword and shield seconds later.

“I know I heard the message from the Eyecon. Yume Hideki, Kamen Rider Cyber” Cyber introduced resummoning the Glaive Rouzer.

“I see, just make me one promise… try not to die,” Shade remarked calmly before he took a single step forward, “he won’t take much to burn away.”

“Well then best to show him why Riders always help each other out” Cyber nodded switching his Ganbasaber to gun mode and taking aim.

“Don't underestimate me!” Night Rogue shouted combining his steam gun with his steam blade as a mechanical voice called out RIFLE MODE.

“Okay, I won’t,” Shade’s voice responded from behind Night Rouge’s back as Shade’s sword was stabbed clean through his chest, “but you may not live to regret that statement.”

“Gah! This isn’t the last you will hear of me!” Night Rouge snarled before the pipes on his armour released black smoke and when it cleared he was gone.

“Well now to deal with the Smash then looks like it just took out Glaive,” Cyber said looking to see his summoned rider turn to data.

“I get a feeling, that Rider of yours wasn’t real,” Shade admitted slowly bring his sword to his side as a black viscous liquid dripped from the end of the blade.

“Nah had to fight the real one earlier today to save a dragoness from becoming a Shocker experiment and as a result gained the ability to call up an echo of sorts and his weapon” Cyber admitted.

“What the hell's a Shocker, some Marvel Villain or something?”

“Okay, how much do you know about Kamen Rider?” Cyber asked raising an unseen eyebrow.

“Frankly… almost nothing I saw only five episodes of Ghost before I was murdered, and that's about it, apart from what I learnt from meeting others.”

“I’ll give you the cliff notes later. I mean I'm a Rider from an arcade game back home,” Cyber chuckled before pulling off the screen on his helmet and putting it back on after turning it around making a pair of wings appear on his back as his weapon became an energy broadsword.

Shade then smiled as he removed the Shade Eyecon from his Driver before pulling out a new one and inserting it as his old Parka Ghost dissipated into red particles before a voice shouted out, “Kaigan: Fourze! Switch oshita! Uchū kitā!” as Shade raised both his hands over his head.

It was then Cyber saw that Shade now held the visage of Kamen Rider Fourze, which currently had a large Rocket attached to its right arm.

“Huh, you already got Kamen Rider Fourze’s Legend Eyecon? Neet” Cyber said with a chuckle as he took flight.

“Trust me, this is just scratching the surface,” Shade admitted as he used the rocket to propel himself forwards towards the Smash ahead of them.

“We really should compare notes on what we have done after this” Cyber said right behind him as he pulled out his final card and slotted it into his belt.

CYBER FINAL DELETE

His weapon glowed brighter as he got ready to slash. With an underarm swing, he batted the Rabbit Smash into the sky letting Shade take his shot.

At this Shade smirked as the Rocket on his arm impacted the Smash forcing it upwards into the sky on the end of it, once they were high enough Shade quickly threw it below it before removing the Fourze Eyecon quickly replacing it with another as the words, “Kaigan: Wizard! Yubiwa no mahō! Saigo no kibō!” was heard as he took the visage of Kamen Rider Wizard.

Cyber was below the Smash getting ready for a Cross Attack, as he saw multiple runic magic circles forming in the sky above him the third encompassing the Smash as the words “Wizard! Omega Drive!” before Shade began to fall towards the Smash skewering it on the end of his leg as both of them fell towards the ground at terminal velocity.

Cyber followed flipping into the air once to build momentum in his blade slashing the Smash further accelerating it before it impacted the ground before it exploded and both Riders landed.

“Phew," Cyber said as his burst mode deactivated and his weapons dismissed.

Looking for the result he found the Smash laying there and his belt beeped making him look down to see it project what looked like a small capsule-sized empty bottle. Smirking he shook it before twisting the cap and pointed it at the Smash which gathered some golden dust from it reverting it to what looked like a pegasus in white ragged clothes.

“Well looks like Pandora's Box is somewhere in Equestria” Cyber said frowning.

He flipped the cap on the bottle closed now bulging with a web pattern on the front before it glowed with the small harmonic energy his driver had scanned earlier turning it sleek and red with a rabbit instead of a web.

He turned to shade and tossed him the Rabbit full bottle.

“Here this should make another legend Eyecon specifically Build’s and I better make sure Princess Twilight is alright with Rarity,” Cyber said removing his cards from his driver removing his armour.

Shade then looked at the Full Bottle in his hand before smiling under his helmet before he asked, “How are the ponies in this world with Human’s?”

“I'm the first one to stay human here. The dimensional barrier in this world is really weak from what I know. There is also apparently a portal to a human world somewhere and going through it makes you the local species.” Yume said confused.

“I see,” Shade replied as he untransformed, but what caught Yume by surprise was the fact that the person under the suit was not human, but an Alicorn Stallion with a completely black coat and crimson red mane and tail.

“For some reason, you’re reminding me of the inverted shadow’s pony persona on youtube just as an Alicorn and with a different cutie mark, all your missing is the top hat” Yume deadpanned.

“I don’t know how to take that, I would have arrived in my human form, but I was in the process of dealing with some pests back home and most ponies don’t know of the existence of humans there.”

“Ah got you. Still, I think you might be in a different time frame then I am from what twilight explained with rarity this world is about seventy or so years ahead of the world your in. what was the last event you went through before I summoned you,” Yume asked?

“Well, I did just get back from the moon with Luna and Midnight,” Shade admitted as he looked lost in thought.

“Ah then your world is exactly over seventy-five years in the past compared to ours,” said a familiar voice as Yume turned to see Princess Twilight with Rarity looking over the Pegasus though Yume noted that Alex looked surprised by Rarity’s current looks.

“I think there’s a very long explanation coming from all of us isn’t there,” Yume asked and Twilight nodded adjusting her wings as she leads the group into her castle.

Sitting down in the library Yume looked to Twilight.

“Shall I go first Twilight I think Alex here is going to answer a few questions on my own once I start my side of things,” Yume asked.

“Of course just as well as I want to know just what you did or how you know that Night Rogue figure” Twilight nodded.

I turned to Alex, who had changed his form into that of a human with black hair and blue eyes. He was wearing black tracksuit bottoms, and a red t-shirt below and an open black and red trimmed hooded jacket as they had made their way to the castle as he took a deep breath.

“So I ended up here when someone stole a prop I made for a convention and replaced it with a working Ganbadriver from the game Kamen Rider Ganbarizing and it came with three cards. I missed an event I was at the convention for as a result so when I went home I just checked why the belt was so different when next thing I knew I'm waking up in this castle. And ever since it’s been a hectic day from fighting Kamen Rider Glaive, adopting a dragoness youngling, and then meeting an android pony, to Night Rogue appearing trying to convince me to join a terrorist group called Shocker the very group that made the original Kamen Rider. Naturally, I refused and you know the rest Alex. Night Rogue is the latest rider to appear Kamen Rider Build. A scientist who has to fight Smash People experimented on with Nebula Gas contained in the Pandora’s Box. And if you know your myths you know that's bad news,” I said as like I said hectic day and it looked like shocker got their hands on this world’s Pandora’s Box.

“But what are Kamen Riders” asked Rarity giving us a confused look.

“You want to handle that one, Alex?” Yume asked.

“Trust me on this, I barely know myself,” Alex admitted as he rubbed the back of his head.

“All right then. Kamen riders are a kind of hero and story back where me and Alex are from that started around eighty years back. The first Kamen Rider was a cyborg who was being turned into a super soldier weapon by Shocker. The remnants of the Nazis, Alex. They even revived Hitler as a starfish monster. They're that batshit insane. Ichigo the first rider escaped and started fighting the very organization that made him. After him came various riders and their enemies. Two separate eras of riders formed. Me and Alex are technically in the Heisei era. Besides Ichigo and us, there’s Nigo, v3, Amazon, Stronger, Super-1, Riderman, ZX, Black and his evolution RX, J, Shin and a few for the Showa era. All of the Showa Era were cyborgs. More important for Alex is the Heisei Riders. Kuuga, Agito, blade, Faiz, Ryuki, Hibiki, Kabuto, Den-O, Kiva, Decade, Double, OOO, Fourze, Wizard, Gaim, Drive, Ghost which Alex counts for that type of Rider, Ex-Aid and finally Build. My Rider system is from a game where all these Riders collide. Unfortunately, my collection of cards from that game got scattered and now they are coming to life which might have brought Shocker here as a result. Glaive is from Blade’s story the Missing Ace. Alex as you already hold two Legend Eyecon's of past Riders you should know the Eyecon's from Kuuga to Drive can create a Heisei Eyecon where you can use either Ichigo's abilities or the combined power of the riders that form the Eyecon. That reminds me how much did you remember of Ghost specifically?” Yume asked turning to Alex curious.

“Honestly, I’m ashamed to admit that I know almost nothing about Ghost either, I was never really into Kamen Rider at all when I got turned into what I am now.”

“So what Eyecon's do you have and I will try and fill in the blanks,” Yume suggested.

“Well, I have my standard Shade Eyecon, then I have Musashi, Edison, Robin Hood, Billy the Kid, Beethoven, Benkei, Houdini, Fourze, Wizard, Drive and well one that I assume isn’t normal.”

“Really huh. Anyway all but your standard and the Legend Rider Eyecon's are part of a specific set of fifteen Eyecons able to grant a reality-altering wish. You're just missing Tutankhamun, Grimm, Sanzou, Himeko, Ryouma, Newton, Nobunaga and a certain ninja that I know he kabuki but it’s been years since I refreshed my native history I know the name starts with G…Goemon I think” Yume said sheepishly at the end. But then he went serious, “but can you show me this odd Eyecon?” he added.

“I don’t need to show you it, this would make it clearer,” Alex admitted as he pulled out the Kamen Rider Chronicles Gashat from his pocket and passed it to Yume, “need I say more?”

“Oh boy if you picked this up then your really either lucky or really don’t know just how dangerous this is. This thing is a Rider system of itself. It can be used in a Driver compatible with it but just pressing the button twice will create a Rider Armor. If you have an Ex-Aid in your world then don’t trust Kamen Rider Genm he’s insane to make this,” Yume warned.

“Genm? Wait, please tell me his suit isn’t mostly black,” Alex asked hesitantly.

“Purple as well with red eyes on his helmet. Something tells me you have one heck of a story there,” Yume sighed pinching the bridge of his nose.

“Umm… kind of, I found a DVD a long time ago that had a recorded message from a Rider, a lot of it was corrupted but we found out there were Riders in my world before me, and all but two of them were murdered by another one, I only saw a blurry image of the Rider who killed them but if your description is correct it’s likely this Genm is the Rider in question.

“Then I better tell you this. Genm is a recolour of ex-aid. Both look generally identical. Kamen Rider Chronicle was made from data of the Bugsters a virus created from the y2k event back home and trust me the original Genm was insane to make the virus. Ever heard of the Cross of Fire? Basically, we Riders gain our powers as a counter to the specific foes we face in your case Ganma. Fight fire with fire basically, and let me tell you Genm is not easy to face. Watch out if he pulls out a dangerous zombie Gashat if you drop his life bar to zero he can make that Gashat from his death data through his Bugvizer and a blank Gashat. The suits if the hp bar on the chest gets empty the Bugster virus consumes them normally and erases them into a cyber world in the Gashats. Not pretty. And don’t let him be able to make more of Chronicle. Otherwise, you will have to fight Bugsters that pop up alongside mass-produced lesser versions of Kamen Rider Chronos. Ride players are the general term for the goomba based suits that form from just the Gashat.” Yume explained. His driver made a beeping noise as a set of six cards ejected showing Kamen Rider Chronos, a Ride Player and their weapons plus a final move which Yume caught.

“And this is how I got Glaive and his Rouzer after that Rider was defeated. What remained of his Rider System became cards but for ones I didn’t originally own seems the driver provides from coming into contact with another Rider’s items. Just surprised I didn’t get one of you Alex when I picked up that Eyecon” Yume said blinking.

Another beep sounded as a black card shot out of the driver with not circuitry but the demonic eye of shade and red lines connected to it spun in the air once and landed on the table. with it was a card of shade himself surrounded by his various weapons.

“Ah, there we go huh guess I got a fourth form now outside the default three of the game. Yeah, so far I think the Riders in this world are the collective combination of specific card sets thus giving them their full abilities. Anyway here you can have this back,” Yume said handing Chronicle back to Alex.

As Alex was handed the Gashat back he placed it in his pocket before he said, “There were a few other things I’ve acquired over time, but I’m assuming your friends there want to ask just why they saw me as an Alicorn before.”

“Considering I’ve been human a few times going through an enchanted mirror not really for me,” Twilight said.

“Our dimensional barrier was weakened to the point anything that falls through becomes the local equivalent,” Rarity said.

“Yume here is the exception as his case is a bit unusual,” Twilight said.

“Heck one of the ponies I met is literally half human apparently her mother ended up in a human realm in a different universe. She’s like a Meister from Soul Eater as a result. Able to convert other ponies to weapons when needed. She fought off a squad of Shocker Troops before I arrived to fight Glaive,” Yume said. “So are there others like us Alex” he added raising an eyebrow.

“Convert people to weapons,” Alex admitted with a chuckle, not hearing Yume's question as he placed his hand on one of the bands on his right arm, “That almost sounds too familiar.”

“It’s temporary my son had studied the effect a long while,” Twilight said amused though a bit confused at Alex.

“I think it’s better I show you then try to explain it,” Alex admitted as he rotated the band on his arm before red particles seemed to shift on the band before forming into a figure beside him, a figure very familiar to Twilight, that of Queen Chrysalis, but she seemed to be wearing crimson armour that covered her chiten with the symbol used in Ghost, but red in colour.

“Lord Shade, what need do you have for me right now it seems more like your just having a conversation with…” She then stopped as she saw Twilight and said, “Okay, how far in the future are we?”

“Over seventy- five years from what I know,” Yume said watching twilight have an expression between shock and disbelief.

“That's just great,” Chrysalis muttered in annoyance.

“So you have a non-lethal finisher I'm guessing? She was the gun you used against Night Rogue right?” Yume asked blinking.

“Your correct,” Alex admitted as he nodded to Chrysalis as she dispersed into green light before reforming into the two of the pistols Yume had seen him using before.

“So guess you have an aspect of Kiva then you have Arms Monsters like he did” Yume compared.

“Once again, I have no idea what that is, but I’m assuming so.”

“Kiva had three beings similar to a werewolf, a merman, and Frankenstein's monster able to turn into a sword, gun and hammer respectively. And altered into them by chains by another Rider years beforehand” Yume explained. “Kiva’s theme was Halloween based specifically vampire so if you start seeing monsters with stained glass on them and reports of glass husks that easily shatter those are Fangire the enemies of Kiva.”

“I see,” Alex responded bringing both pistols to his sides as they seemed to stick to them almost like there were two holsters there.

“Still you didn’t answer my question am I not the only one besides you in this situation?” Yume asked with a look.

“Right sorry, not by a longshot. I’m assuming you're aware of multiverse theory, if not you then Twilight most likely is.”

“You kidding that’s Decade’s thing the guy dimension hops for his story. He can access the abilities of his nine predecessors. Why do you think he’s called Decade?” Yume deadpanned as frankly for a Rider fan like him that was obvious and also a very good explanation and answer.

“I asked that as the Rider multiverse I knew about and if I become the Rider of this world then I figured I'm not the only one in a similar situation. And your proof of that by being here now. So anything I should know about us is what we are I don’t know yet like say how a copy of your personal Eyecon got here for example,” Yume said pulling out said Eyecon.

“Yes, that is what people like me collectively known as Displaced used as a method of reaching each other, we normally call them Tokens and each is in most cases specific to the Displaced they belong to. For example, you can see from mine I used my Eyecon, while for someone else I met they used this,” Alex replied as he held out a Gate switch.

“Huh so someone is Fourze out there or Kamen Rider Meteor so Fourze is more likely as you got his Eyecon,” Yume said snapping his fingers as he pulled out a green circuitry covered card.

“Also, on an unrelated note I know two other Riders but they aren’t Displaced, I met my worlds Rainbow Dash who is Drive and a pony who was Eternal… no idea who he is under his mask though.”

“Huh and I'm guessing you’ve met others who were not Riders as well like Super Sentai?” Yume asked.

“To that regard I guess, there is a younger boy in my world who said he was called Dylan but I think he’s from Power Rangers RPM.”

“So how do I make my own token?” Yume asked curiously.

“Well that's simple, first you need something that you want to be your token, it can be anything, and don’t worry if it’s something you can’t afford to lose you still keep the original version of your token.”

Yume held up his default change card he had pulled out earlier.

“Okay, Next you need to think of something the other person who finds your token will hear, I’m assuming you heard mine.”

“Okay then. *ahem* My name is Yume Hideki, Kamen Rider Cyber if you need help protecting your world or just need a friend just give me a call,” Yume said making Twilight smile as she was the Princess of Friendship so this made her happy that was his message.

“Okay then, the final thing that you need to do is send it into the Void, normally this happens automatically as multiples before the copies disappear.”
“Hmm, I think I know,” Yume said waving his free hand over his buckle making it project a green rectangular portal and held up his token watching as it multiplied and entered the portal and it closed.

“Good thing I remembered the trailer about my system showed a teleport system and if this was built slightly differently and adding in the weak barrier between worlds… yeah, I think that worked” Yume said thoughtfully.

“It looks like it did,” Alex replied with a nod of his head as a small red burning portal opened beside his hand as a copy of the Token Yume had just created appeared from it. “Well, that was unexpected.”

“Oh yeah almost forgot there’s a Ganbarizing Eyecon as well! And Alex here’s a tidbit for you the Ghost Driver can summon Ghost’s signature weapon separately from the Eyecons in Rider form. Which might help you with weapons you can't use yet. If you get Tutankhamun you need to find a way to get a scythe, maybe ask your twilight to help you make your own Ghost gadgets. It pays to have a backup plan if you can’t use your Arms Monsters for any reason. You're responsible for their health after all” Yume said looking sheepish. It had been a few years since he had seen Ghost.

“My health is of no consequence,” Alex admitted sadly.

“I meant Chrysalis and the others you got and don’t say that. Ghost or not they depend on you just as you depend on them, you work together as a team. If you don’t care for yourself sometimes then let them be your reason to keep going. Shade or not you're not alone so don’t act like you are. Spectre did that and nearly lost his sister as a result… you do know Houdini can become a motorcycle right? The addition to the back of him is a bike split in half down the middle.” Yume said.

“I don’t need to worry about that one… just maybe not summon it inside,” Alex admitted sheepishly.

“Still have to be sure. Chrysalis you and the others make sure he doesn’t doubt himself for long he’s going to need you lot to keep what he’s protecting in sight. If he starts having doubts get him back to his senses if you need to” Yume said.

“No I mean I can’t summon my bike inside, did that once and damaged the room a fair bit.”

“Dude you do know normally the bikes gain ghost abilities as well right the Machine Hoodie is Houdini so he can phase through things. He wasn’t known as an escape artist for nothing,” Yume said remembering the fact Ghost’s motorbike had the soul of a horse. And that was a realm of possibility on that front.

“What I'm saying is don’t sell yourself short and trust me you do have a weakness. Ghost found out the hard way if his Eyecon breaks he’s gone as well so you need to be sure to keep that intact,” Yume said giving him a look. He then yawned.

“It’s getting late so how do I send you back?” he said noting rarity and twilight had fallen asleep.

“You simply have to say, that our contract is complete, and it should send me back,” Alex admitted calmly.

“Right just keep what I said in mind. I already feel guilty about getting mad at a friend before I ended up here so I want to try and not go through that again. So hopefully we can become friends. Alex our contract is complete” Yume said.

“Okay,” Alex replied as he held his hand out to Yume before he said, “If you ever need my help again you know where to find me.”

“You know it just as long as I get to visit you sometime,” Yume said with a grin.

“No worries there,” Alex agreed with a smile.

“Also please keep Twilight’s future from your own I don’t know what yours is like but if your friend reacted like that then I don’t think Twilight was born an Alicorn. I met her son and he’s a unicorn” Yume said.

“She has a son?”

“A lot can happen in seventy-five years remember this is this world’s version of her she might not be a mother in your world. I thought Twilight already mentioned it earlier. Either way later,” Yume told him amused.

“Okay, okay,” Alex replied as a portal opened behind him as turned around and walked through it as it closed behind him.

As Alex returned to his reality he looked outside to see it was already night time as he quickly walked towards the wall changing back into an Alicorn before passing through the wall as they flew towards the roof and looked up at the night sky.

This lasted for a few minutes before he reached into his pocket producing Yume’s token before it began to shine as Shade smile as he stood up his Driver forming around his waist before he drew a symbol in the shape of an eye into the air behind the Token as it hovered in the air.

It was then a Parka Ghost that looked like a sleek cybernetic jacket that consisted of a dark blue colouration with the white circuit lines running down its side and arms, flew forwards before turning back and facing Shade with its right arm over the front of its chest and the other at its side.

The Parka Ghost then nodded to Shade before flying into his Driver producing an Eyecon with a blue casing and a yellow front along with that the image on the front was a mostly blue mask apart from the silver lines running down the centre with what looked to be white lines running over the remainder of it the only parts not matching the theme being two large red eyes.

Shade then finished looking over the Eyecon before he said to himself, “I wonder what exactly this Eyecon can do?” before placing it into his pocket before taking out the Shade Eyecon before saying to himself, “the guard can’t be in that bad of a state. Right?”

He then smiled before looking back upwards as he looked at the Rabbit Fullbottle he had been given as he muttered, “Just what can this thing do? I’m sure I’ll find out in due course,” he then placed the Fullbottle back in his pocket as he had with the Eyecon before he rested his head back against the roof and just stared at the starry sky.
