//------------------------------// // Chapter 1: From convention to Intervention // Story: The World Of Equestria // by ANDIE //------------------------------// In the Southern states of California, a 21 year old man named Joe Herten has been a brony since he first watch season 1 premier of MLP a year ago. However as a few weeks passed he have heard and begin to be as much of a big fan to the Kamen Rider franchise. Every time an MLP episode is in hiatus or he is impatient of seeing a next episode of MLP, he would directly watched Kamen Rider Series and had watched it from Kuuga to Kiva. On the day he's alone in his room and was just watched the last episode Kamen Rider Decade, his stamina and blood pressure increase and though was blown as he witness the ending Decade episode on his laptop. “ What in the heck is this ending!? Why in the frick did the original Riders fight with Tsukasa and Kaito blast at him like that!?” said Joe with frustration. "Oh well, I'll find out one I watch the crossover between Decade and Double" He said with a sigh confidence. A few seconds later he realized that the Kamen Rider Covention he supposed to go to is about three days from now “Of course the convention, good thing I have already prepared my Kamen Rider Decade costume as I first started to watch the series, all that is missing is the Rider Booker, Rider Cards and the Decadriver ” said Joe with a hint of concerned and brainstorming of how he'll able to afford them in time. “ Oh well, I could buy it in the convention anyways, and I almost forgot about the new episode of MLP season 5” Joe remembered about MLP. He search on his Netflix account for any new episodes. As the day passed on, he keeps wearing his costume to find any changed that is necessary to it and to make it even more similar to the original costume in the show and begins to watch Kamen Rider Double. When the day is near he putted the costume inside his large suitcase as the armor is stiff and a little bulky. "It's a good thing I have a van to carry all of this stuff" he said and hops in the van and prepared for an hour or two of driving to a hotel near to the convention. “Huh, how tiring can this gets, at least my suitcase and everything in it is still in perfect shape” Joe said in a sign of relief that he came to the hotel a day before the convention. “Well, better get some rest I have a big day tomorrow” as he finally reached to his room and take a shower and takes out his belongings of his clothes before a nap. The next day he started to wear his Decade costume along with bringing Tsukasa main themed clothing and a camera that looks very similar to Tsukasa’s real camera. He drove his car and reached to the convention in a few minutes later. “I can’t believed this is happening” He said with over joy, witnessing other fans dressing as other Kamen Riders and some Kaijin (humanoid monster in case you don’t know). Most of the kamen riders he saw is recognizable. But from Kamen Rider Double to Gaim, not so much. But as he goes on, he saw a stand which was selling all Kamen Rider and Super Sentai accessories and merchandise, with one of them a full set of Kamen Rider Decade’s Rider booker, cards and Decadriver, he immediately ran to it and asks to buy them. “Hello good sir, I would like to purchase these” said Joe in a calmed state of matter, but his mind is full of excitement. “Ah of course would you like the full set or in different pairs?” said the merchant. “A full set would be great” Joe answered the merchant. “All right that would be 30 dollars” the merchant replied. Luckily for Joe he always kept spare money for such occasion. “Here you go good sir” said Joe as he hand the money to the merchant. “Thank you and have a good day at the convention” the merchant wish Joe. “You too” Joe answered as he unravel the packaging and he puts his belt and Booker on to complete his costume. "It's even better than I hoped!" Joe said as he continues to wondering around the convention. As the hours passed, he enjoy wondering around the convention with his Decade costume and finally head back to the hotel in the late afternoon. “Whoa, what a day, if only I would have at least catch up to Gaim, I wouldn’t have so much spoilers” said Joe as he examined his rider cards once more before a bright glow starting to emit from his cards and his driver and as the light glows even brighter. Before long, his hotel room is now empty with all of his belongings are gone with him in a flash of light. Right now he’s in a voyage of space which looks so similar to the voyage that Twilight went with Celestia in the season 3 finale of MLP. “What in the world? How did I get here?” Joe said in an overwhelming voice and a recognizable and yet disturbed face to his surroundings. As he heard a footstep is getting close to him, his body is in a cold freeze of horror to what’s or rather who is in front of him. “Joe, the world of Equestria is now in graved danger and for now only you can helped saved it” said the figure as it reveals to be none other than Tsukasa Kadoya aka: Kamen Rider Decade. Joe’s mind is froze as he heard to what Tsukasa said. “How is this possible, Tsukasa is a fictional character and did he say Equestria? This can’t be real” Joe’s conscience said to himself and tries to pinch himself to make sure if he is dreaming. “Look Joe, I know this is too difficult for you to understand, in time you will learn. But now that you possessed the Decade booker and driver, you can saved that world along with others” said Tsukasa in seriousness. “Others?” said Joe in confusion. “You have already aware about the Mane Six and the Princesses; however they are no match to this new threat. But you won’t have to do it alone though there will be others came to help in time. Now prepared for your new journey Joe!” said Tsukasa in a determination tone. “Wait!” Joe shouted and stretch his hand straight, intending to grab him back. But before he could have said anything, an even brighter light emanating from the surroundings caused Joe to cover his eyes. When Joe managed to regained his consciousness, he found himself in a hospital room, although to his surprise this room looks too familiar to him. “Why does this hospital room looks so familiar?” as he got himself up of the bed, he realized he wearing a hospital gown. “Hey I wondered where are my clothes?” he said when he saw his suitcase with his clothes and all of his stuff that he had brought is here. The hospital air is as neat and have a cool air as any. As Joe examined around his environment, he could hear a door open, when he turned around to see who opens the door, he was more than surprise. “Oh, I see that you’re a wake” she said with a smile, it was the nurse but this nurse is no human, it’s an earth pony with a Light amaranth gray mane and a light gray coat and she's pulling the medical trolley. Joe stares at her in shock which he realize her in her MLP fandom name. ‘Nurse Redheart?’ Joe said in his mind.
