//------------------------------// // Feeling Peachy Armored // Story: MLP: Gaim Sengoku // by Kamen Rider SEGADash //------------------------------// Over in Helheim, a pony simply trotted along, and then looked down at the Genesis Driver she was wearing, walked over to a plant and caused a premature Lockseed to turn into a Lockseed with the image of a sunflower seed on it, and the code "LS-00". She unhooked one that looked just like it from the Driver, and put the new one in, and sighed. She then plucked another one, and glanced up to her back, seeing a young sleeping filly on her back. This filly was a black pegasus with a violet mane and no Cutie Mark. “Don’t worry… we’ll find somewhere to get some rest…” the other pony assured, as they continued to walk. It took them a while, avoiding Inves and all, but they found somewhere to sit for a minute, and unknown to the two ponies, there was someone watching them. “Kamen Rider Marika… and Kamen Rider Knuckle,” the voice whispered, before montioning forward, and causing a zipper to appear in the sky, a portal leading back to Equestria. “Eh?! Home…” the mare, who was a yellow-orange unicorn with a wavy red and yellow mane, and a red and yellow sun Cutie Mark, gawked. She then picked up the young filly and they jumped into the portal, and it soon closed. It was then Zangetsu and Duke walked over, having seen the two jump in. “Huh… so that peach girl’s found a way back to her own dimension,” Zangetsu commented. "Indeed. At least she and the walnut filly are safe," Duke nodded. “I guess she’ll be a powerful ally to the new Gaim,” Zangetsu figured. “Fluttershy, do you mind helping us?!” Gaim asked, trying to defend some of Fluttershy’s animals from the Lion Inves. “Uh… wha? I don’t know how to…” she informed. ‘Just listen to me. Don’t listen to her,’ Fluttershy heard a voice say in her head, shocking her. “Wh-Who’s there?” Fluttershy panicked. “Shoot! Micchy must be trying to trick her with the pyschological connection!” Kota’s voice growled in Gaim’s head. “Well what do I do?” Gaim asked. 'I… don’t know… try smacking her in the head, maybe it’ll disrupt the connection/' “Alright…” Gaim shrugged, going over to the Rider-Fluttershy. “Sorry about this.” Suddenly, without Rider-Fluttershy noticing, Gaim threw her Donkachi at her, which hit the poor pegasus on the head. “...Ouch…” she whimpered. ‘That should keep him quiet for now.' Kota figured. “Sorry about that Fluttershy, just trying to keep that voice you were hearing quiet,” Gaim informed. “I hate that dumb pegasus… no matter…” Zangetsu-Shin chuckled, unlocking four Hiwami Lockseeds, summoning in more Elementary Inves to keep Baron and Fraise occupied. “Now, to finish her…” =LOCK ON!= “Sayonara forever, Kazuaraba Kota,” Zangetsu-Shin chuckled, pulling back on the Sonic Arrow. “Leave her alone!” a new voice shouted. =PEACH ENERGY!/KURU~MI!= =LOCK ON!= =SODA!/*Guitar Riff*= =PEACH ENERGY ARMS!= =KURUMI ARMS! MISTER~ KNUCKLER~!= Suddenly, to the surprise of everyone, two other Riders in pony form rushed over. The taller one was in a pink suit themed with an Arabian style, having peach armor with a white visor (and energy parts) as well as the Sonic Arrow used by Duke and Zangetsu-Shin. The smaller one used a sort of dark brown suit with a knight/viking armor style, her visor being orange-yellow, and the armor she had being themed after a walnut, and her front hooves had large gloves over them. “Shimmer-chan… mind helping me up…?” the smaller Rider asked, having tripped over due to the walnut gloves, the Kurumi Bombers, as she was quickly picked up in the taller Rider’s teal magic, and lifted to her hind hooves. “There you go, Amethyst. That should make it a bit easier to use those Bombers,” the Peach Rider replied. “Shimmer… teal magic…” Baron gawked, remembering the one pony she knew who was a unicorn, had that magic color, and part of her name was “shimmer”. “Well well well, if it isn’t Sunset Shimmer?” “ACK! T-Twilight?!” the Peach Rider panicked. “I get it. So you’re here to help the bad guy now, aren’t you?” Baron figured. “So much for giving you a second chance.” “What’re you talking about?” the Peach Rider demanded. Zangetsu-Shin looked over at the Peach Rider and scoffed. “Heh… Minato… I thought I finished you off a long time ago. No matter… this time, you’re staying dead!” =MELON ENERGY!= “Shimer-chan, look out!” the Walnut Rider shouted, slicing her Lockseed three times. =*Guitar Riff*!= =KURUMI SPARKING!= The smaller Rider rushed up in front of the Peach Rider, and her armor folded up and creating a sort of shield around her head. She spun it around, causing all projectiles to go flying off before it unfolded, and the young filly started to pant a bit. “Heh… so you got a little helper, no matter, she’ll go down with you Minato!” Zangetsu-Shin shouted, loading the Lockseed back into his Driver and pushing the lever. =MELON ENERGY SQUASH!= “Wait! I’m not who you think I am!” the Peach Rider responded before… =DON~GURI SPARKING!= Gaim charged forward and blocked the Rider Kick with all her might, managing to send the attack right back at Zangetsu-Shin. “RAINBOW! What’re you doing?!” Baron gawked. “I… don’t know. It’s like… my body acted before I even knew I was moving…” Gaim gawked. “Look, I don’t know what happened between you mares and this new Marika, but we have to help everyone, including her,” Kota told Gaim in her head. “Oh…” “Tch… Minato sure is tough… and so are you, Rainbow Dash,” Zangetsu-Shin noted. “Oh gimme a break, will ya? I may be tough, but know this, I will always protect those who can’t protect themselves, and help those in need!” Gaim shouted. “Shut, up!” =MELON ENERGY SQUASH!= With that, Zangetsu-Shin jumped into the air as a lime green energy gathered around his hind legs before Knuckle jumped into the air, and took the full force of the Rider Kick, and was forced out of her henshin. “Ow…” “*gasp* You… You…” the others heard Rider-Fluttershy gasp before growling, staring at Zangetsu-Shin, and now a darker aura came off her that made most of them nervous, “YOU MONSTER!!!” No one had recalled Fluttershy ever roaring so loudly in her life, but she was clearly mad. She charged at Zangetsu-Shin like a bullet from a gun, headbutting him from the side, managing to damage him quite a bit before bashing him over with the Budou Ryuhou. “Uh… I don’t thinking that’s how she’s supposed to use that weapon…” Baron said. “Twilight… I think it’s best we just don’t bother her right now,” Fraise muttered to her. “...Uh… Okay… if you say so…” Baron sighed as Rider-Fluttershy continued to bash on Zangetsu-Shin before somehow pulling the trigger, accidentally sending five purple energy blasts right at the Energy Melon Rider’s face. “A new Ryugen… someone who will haunt me… because I didn’t destroy the remains of that sinner!” Zangetsu-Shin growled angrily. “Let’s see if I can keep my animals safe from these other monsters…” the Rider-Fluttershy, Ryugen, muttered, as she sliced the Lockseed once. =BU~DOU~ SQUASH!= Figuring it out, Ryugen pulled back on the green hammer of the Budou Ryuhou, causing energy grapes to form around the barrel, but she didn’t know what to do next. “Uh… Rainbow, a little help?” Gaim trotted over, and using the Donkachi, sent the energy blasts over and they destroyed all of the Inves with this combo move. “...Wow…” Ryugen gawked, “I sure am powerful,” “Uh girls… where’d the bad guy go?” Fraise inquired, as they all looked, and saw Zangetsu-Shin was gone. “...No idea,” Gaim shrugged. “Hey… sorry for assuming you were helping the bad guy Sunset,” Twilight apologized later. “It’s okay, Twilight. After what I did before, it’s understandable,” Sunset sighed. “So, who’s the filly with you?” Dash inquired, glancing over to the young filly, who was being bandaged by Fluttershy. “I found her in the forest… she was all alone and had nobody to keep her safe. So I decided to take care of her myself, and try to get her out of there.” “That’s so sweet,” Rarity admitted. “Only thing is… she doesn’t have a name…” Sunset informed. “I don’t remember it…” the young filly sighed, her eyes opening to reveal that they were a shade of teal. “...Hmm… why don’t we call you Amethyst?” Fluttershy figured, “Your mane sorta has the same color as one.” “Amethyst… I like it,” the filly smiled. “Amethyst it is, then,” Sunset smiled back. “Shimmer-chan… don’t worry… I’ll be fine… I know I look a bit bruised, but I’ll be fine,” Amethyst told Sunset later that night. “I know… just… try and get some sleep, okay?” Sunset requested, “You’ve been through a lot as it is. And you’re still a kid.” “Okay… good night,” she smiled, closing her eyes and going to sleep. “Good night, Amethyst,” Sunset smiled, leaving the filly to sleep.
