Chapter 5

The One Where the Riders Kick Flank

“Amazing,” Twilight said as she and the Princesses watched the Riders battle.

Wizard had turned his WizarSwordGun into its sword mode and was slashing Kaijin left and right. Joining Wizard was OOO, his claws extended and aiding in ripping apart the Kaijin.

W was fighting barehanded against the Kaijin. As his fists and kicks connected, an occasional burst of wind would be produced, adding more damage to his attacks.

Launcher ~ On!

Fourze's belt rang out as a rocket launcher appeared on his right leg and fired rockets at the Kaijin. Unfortunately, the rockets were flying randomly, one of them exploding just a few feet away from Gaim. Gaim was tossed back by the explosion, but luckily Fourze caught him using his rocket pack.

“Watch it with those things man! You nearly blew me up,” Gaim scolded. Fourze rubbed the side of his helmet in embarrassment.

“Sorry man. I forgot I need to use Radar with this thing,” Fourze said as he activated another Switch on his belt.

Radar ~ On!

On Fourze's left arm appeared his Radar Module. He pointed it at the Kaijin and after a few seconds, it was locked onto them.

“Take this!” Fourze yelled as he once again fired rockets at the Kaijin, this time hitting his marks perfectly.

“Now that's more like it,” Kouta yelled as he used his Daidaimaru and Musou Saber Naginata and slashed a few of the Kaijin, sparks flying off their bodies as he made contact.

“This is incredible. They fight with such skill and strength. I haven't seen fighting like this since the war with Discord,” Celestia remarked.

“We agree Sister. They are truly fierce warriors. They fight these monsters as if they were nothing,” Luna said.

Shining Armor grit his teeth and charged forward, causing Twilight to gasp.

“Shiny! What are you doing!?” Twilight yelled.

“This is my ship, and I'm gonna protect it and you!” Shining Armor yelled as he fired blasts of magic at the Kaijin. The Kaijin noticed the new enemy and began charging toward Shining Armor. Before they could reach him however, they all stopped as sparks exploded off their chests. Shining looked to see that Wizard had fired at them.

“Captain, please let us handle this,” Wizard said as he fired a few more shots at the Kaijin.

“Buck you! I'm not gonna let you Riders upstage me on my own ship, and especially not in front of my sister,” Shining said as he blasted one of the Kaijin with his magic, knocking it off of the ship.

Wizard sighed “Do what you want then,” Wizard said as he nonchalantly shot a Kaijin trying to sneak up on him.

As the Riders fought, they saw that more Kaijin were coming toward the ship from the skies.

“Looks like we'll have to change tactics here,” Eiji said as he replaced the Tora and Batta medals on his belt with the Kujaku and Condor medals. Eiji pulled the OOO Scanner from his belt and scanned his medals.

TAKA! KUJAKU! CONDOR! TA~JA~DORU~!

Once again the medals spun around Eiji as his armor changed, flames spreading around him as his transformation ceased. This time his armor was a uniform crimson and black color with a bird motif. His helmet changed to a much fiercer appearance and the Taja Spinner appeared on his left arm.

Eiji struck a quick pose before wings sprouted from his back and he flew towards the Kaijin. Wizard and Fourze looked at each other before nodding.

“Can't let him have all the fun,” Wizard said as he replaced the ruby Flame Style ring on his left hand with his emerald Hurricane Style ring.

“Right,” Fourze said as he removed the Rocket Switch on his belt and replaced it with the larger Super Rocket switch.

Wizard switch his belt to the left side and placed his hand over the belt as Fourze activated his Super Rocket Switch.

HURRICANE, PLEASE! FU~FU! FU~FU~FU~FU!

ROCKET ~ ON! SUPER!

Fourze and Wizard's armors changed. Wizards ruby armor was replaced with triangular cut emeralds. Fourze's armor changed from its base white color to an all orange color with two large rockets appearing on his arms.

“LET'S GO!” Fourze yelled as the rockets on his arms ignited and he flew into the air. Wizard nodded as he followed suit, an emerald wind propelling him up and towards the Kaijin.

In the air, OOO, Fourze, and Wizard engaged the Kaijin in aerial combat.

OOO fired at the Kaijin using his Taja Spinner while also using his legs, which turned into large talons, to rip the Kaijin apart. With his speed and raw power, OOO was making quick work of the Kaijin.

Fourze was flying swiftly at the Kaijin. Fourze didn't so much fight the Kaijin as ram into them with his rockets. The sheer force of the impact was enough to destroy many of them.

Wizard looked like he was performing some kind of aerial battle ballet. In his hand he held his WizarSwordGun in its sword mode, slashing and hacking away at the Kaijin as he flipped and spun through the air.

Back on the deck of the ship, W and Gaim were making quick work of the rest of the Kaijin. However, they were hindered by the inclusion of Shining Armor. The unicorn was certainly holding his own against the Kaijin, but the Riders could see he was tiring. They were also wary to use their full strength for fear of harming him.

Gaim and W stood back to back.

“We need to finish this quick. Wanna give us a hand newbie?” W asked. Gaim nodded as he produced his Ichigo Lock Seed and W produced his Luna and Trigger memories. Each removed their respective henshin items and replaced them with the new ones.

LUNA! TRIGGER!

W's belt rang out as he replaced his memories and opened his belt.

LUNA! TRIGGER!

As soon as W opened his belt, his armor began to change from green and black to yellow and blue. As the transformation finished, the Trigger Magnum appeared on W's chest, which he promptly removed as he began firing at the Kaijin.

ICHIGO!

Gaim's armor dissipated as he removed his Orange Lock Seed and replaced it with the Ichigo Lock Seed. Above Gaim, the Ichigo Arms armor was floating above him. Gaim placed the lock into the belt and locked it into place.

LOCK ON!

Gaim's belt rang out as he grabbed the knife attachment and cut open the Lock Seed.

SOIYA! ICHIGO ARMS! SHUSHUTTO SPARK!

The Ichigo Arms armor dropped down onto Gaim's shoulders and opened up. When the armor had fully formed, Gaim's armor had changed from his bulky Orange armor into a more streamlined Strawberry themed armor. Gaim also had two strawberry themed knives in his hands, which he proceeded to throw at the Kaijin.

As the battle began to wind down, the Riders all decided it was time to end the fight. Unfortunately, Shining Armor was still in the way. As Kaijin charged at him, they were stopped by Gaim as he blasted them with the Musou Saber and threw his Ichigo Kunai. Gaim landed in front of Shining Armor.

“Out of my way Rider! I don't need your help!” Shining yelled. His words were invalidated however as he began to stumble. Gaim looked down a moment before he moved swiftly at Shining Armor.

“Sorry for this Captain,” Gaim said as he punched Shining Armor in the stomach. Shining Armor's face contorted in pain as he fell forward, the force of Gaim's punch knocking the wind out of him and causing him to lose consciousness.

“Catch!” Gaim said as he threw Shining Armor's limp body toward Twilight and the Princesses. Thankfully Twilight saw this in time and caught her brother in her magic. Gaim turned around and gave a thumbs up to W. W nodded and looked back to the Kaijin.

“Time for the finisher,” W said as he removed the Trigger Memory from his belt and placed it into the Trigger Magnum. The other Riders began to prepare for their respective final attacks. OOO scanned the medals in his belt, Fourze pulled the lever on his belt, Wizard opened up the hand on his sword and placed his left hand against it, and Gaim removed the Ichigo Lock Seed from his belt and placed it into his Musou Saber.

TRIGGER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!

The Trigger Magnum rang out as a shrill noise began to fill the air.

SCANNING CHARGE!

OOO belt rang out as he flew higher into the air, becoming enveloped in a red aura

ROCKET! LIMIT BREAK!

Fourze willed one of the rockets away for a moment so he could pull the lever on his belt. As his belt rang out, Fourze began to spin quickly in the air, rising to the same height as OOO.

COME ON A SLASH, SHAKE HANDS! HURRICANE, SLASH STRIKE! FUU~FUU~FUU! FUU~FUU~FUU!

Wizard's sword rang out as he stood in a ready stance in front of the Kaijin.

LOCK ON! 1, 10, 100! ICHIGO CHARGE!

The Musou Saber rang out as Gaim ran his finger along the blade, readying himself for his final attack.

Then, as if they had it planned, each Rider initiated their final attack.

“Trigger Full Burst!” W said as he shot a giant blast at the Kaijin.

“Seiya!” OOO yelled as his legs changed to their talon mode and he proceeded to fly at the Kaijin, his leg extended in front of him.

“Rider Tailspin Crusher!!” Fourze said as he spun in a giant, fiery orange spiral towards the Kaijin

“Finale!” Wizard said as a tempest whirled around his sword. Wizard swung his sword, sending a giant green whirlwind slash at the Kaijin.

“Seiha!” Gaim said as he slashed his sword into the air, a giant Ichigo Kunai forming before it scattered into numerous smaller ones, which flew at the Kaijin.

Numerous explosions rocked the ship as the Rider's final attacks connected, destroying the Kaijin instantly. When the smoke finally cleared, Twilight and the Princesses saw that all the Riders were back on the deck of the ship. Their backs were turned to them.

Finally, the Riders all turned around, looking like supreme badasses as they stood in a line.

“Are you all okay?” Gaim asked. Celestia, Luna, and Twilight nodded. The Riders sighed in relief.

“That was...that was......” Twilight tried to say.

“THAT WAS AWESOME!!” Spike said as he suddenly appeared between Twilight and the Princesses. He ran up to the Riders and began to go into complete fanboy mode. Spike was positively gushing over the Riders.

Spike's outburst snapped Twilight out of her awed stupor and she immediately gained an annoyed look.

“Spike! What are you doing here? I thought I told you to stay in Ponyville where it's safe,” Twilight berated her young assistant. Spike stopped gushing over the Riders for a moment and walked over to his sister/friend/surrogate mother.

“I'm sorry Twilight, I....” Spike tried to say before W interjected.

“I hate to interrupt, but perhaps we can have this discussion inside. We all need some rest,” W said in Phillip's voice. Twilight glared at her assistant one more time before she nodded to W and they all went inside.



After they went inside, the Riders returning to their civilian forms and Phillip and Shining Armor regaining consciousness. Twilight pulled Spike's ear as she sat him down for one of her classic lectures.

“Spike T. Dragon I cannot BELIEVE that you would pull something like this,” Twilight said as she circled her assistant, Spike looking down dejectedly, trembling a bit.

“Do you know what type of danger you've put yourself in. You've seen what those monsters can do,” Twilight said. Spike said nothing as he continued to tremble.

“Well? What do you have to say for yourself young dragon?” Twilight asked. Spike still said nothing.

“Miss Twilight, don't you think you're being a bit harsh on him?” Eiji said. Twilight shot him a glare only a protective mother or sister could give. A look that said “Shut up or you're next”. Sure enough, Eiji backed down.

“Shiny, can you teleport Spike back to-”

“NO!” Spike said. Everyone looked at the young drake in surprise.

“What?” Twilight said, a sharp edge to her voice.

Spike stood up and said “I'm not going back to Ponyville”.

“Spike, this is not up for discussion. You are going back and that's-”

“NO! I'm not going back and you can't make me!” Spike said in a tone he had never used before.

“Spike...,” Twilight said.

“No, you are not benching me this time. Every time you and the others went on dangerous adventures you would always leave me behind to look after everything. Most of the time I was happy to do it, but not this time. I may not be strong like you, the Princesses, and the Riders, but I'm not just going to sit by and do nothing,” Spike said as tears starting escaping from his eyes.

“Spike, I....”

“Every time you and the others go off do you have any idea how worried I am!? Risking your necks against Discord, Chrysalis, Nightmare Moon. Every time I was always so worried I felt like my heart would break,” Spike said.

Twilight thought about Spike's words. It was true that Spike usually got put on the sidelines, but Twilight had always had a good reason. She had never wanted him to come to harm because of her. The most terrified she had ever been was when Spike had helped to save the Crystal Empire. She was so scared she would lose her best friend.

“And now, when our friends are in danger and the world is in some of the worst trouble it's ever been in, you want me to just stay behind and do nothing!? Not this time! I'm not leaving and you can't make me!” Spike said, tears now freely flowing down his face.

Twilight and everyone else sat stunned at Spike's outburst. Celestia and Luna had never seen Spike act this way before. Twilight especially had never seen Spike this distraught.

“They're my friends too, and I want to help save them. I know I can't do much, but I still want to fight,” Spike said as he shuddered, tears staining his face.

The room was tense as Spike waited for Twilight's reaction.

Twilight did the only thing she thought she should do. She hugged her young assistant. Spike had a shocked look on his face as Twilight hugged him.

“Okay Spike, you can stay. But you stick by either me, the Princesses, the Riders, or Shining Armor at all times. Am I clear?” Twilight said. Spike looked at her and smiled.

“Crystal,” Spike said as he hugged Twilight. Celestia smiled at her student and the young dragon.

Normally this would have been a picture perfect moment. For a while it was. That is, until Gentarou began to cry, rubbing his eyes on his sleeve.

“That's..that's so...that's so beautiful!! It's making me cry!” Gentarou yelled as he hugged the closest person next to him, which just happened to be Kouta. Kouta, not knowing how to react, merely patted Gentarou on the back.

The control panel on the bridge began to beep, Shining Armor going up to it to examine it.

“We're about to land in Canterlot. I'll rally the troops my Princesses,” Shining Armor said as he put his helmet on and prepared his troops.

“Ever the serious one isn't he,” Haruto said as he rose to his feet. Twilight, the Princesses, and the Riders followed Shining Armor onto the deck.



After a few minutes, all of Shining's troops who were still able to fight were assembled. Though some had injuries from the previous Kaijin attack, they still stood. In front of them stood Shining Armor, Celestia and Luna, Twilight, and the Riders.

“ATTENTION!” Shining yelled. Immediately his troops stood perfectly straight, eyes forward.

Celestia stepped forward, clearing her throat.

“Brave soldiers of Equestria! Equestria is faced with a dire threat. Chrysalis and this Foundation X have taken our capitol and attacked our people. Will you stand for this!?” Celestia said, now sounding like a seasoned war general.

“NO MA'AM!” they yelled. Celestia smiled proudly at her subjects.

“You all are valiant warriors, and I have no doubt in my mind you will fight your hardest to defend our nation. However, as you have seen, the enemy is stronger than anything we have faced before. Alone, we stand no match,” Celestia said. Some of the soldiers looked down, remembering the recent battle. Some of their knees even began to buckle.

“BUT FEAR NOT BRAVE WARRIORS!!” Luna yelled using the Canterlot Voice. Everyone covered their ears as Celestia shot Luna a look. Luna mouthed “Sorry”.

“But fear not brave warriors, for we are not alone. To combat this threat, we have summoned the six warriors you see before you. The Kamen Riders!” Luna said as she waved a hoof at the Riders. The Riders stared at the soldiers before them. The Riders stood tall and confident.

“As you have seen, they possess strength and skill unrivaled by even we Princesses. They will help us in our battle. We ask you brave soldiers of Equestria, the finest soldiers in the land, will you stand with them!?” Luna yelled.

The soldiers saluted and yelled “WITH HONOR MA'AM!!”

“Then ready yourselves mighty soldiers of Equestria, for today, we take back our capitol, our home. Today, WE TAKE BACK CANTERLOT!!” Celestia yelled, now using the Canterlot Voice herself.

The soldiers pounded their spears on the ground and yelled in agreement.

“Why is that when you use the voice you get applause, but all I get are glares and lectures about modern etiquette?” Luna said, obviously frustrated.

“It's all about timing Luna,” Celestia said as she tried to reassure her sister.

Twilight was looking down, a nervous look on her face.

“Problem Twilight?” Shotaro asked. The other Riders looked over curoiusly.

“I'm just worried. We don't know what Chrysalis has in store. Plus...what if my friends are-”

“Stop,” Haruto said as he knelt down in front of her.

“That kind of talk leads to nothing but doubt and despair. The second you start talking like that, you start to lose hope; and I refuse to let that happen,” Haruto said. Twilight looked at the mage, her eyes watering a bit.

“Do not give up hope Twilight. Your friends are alive, and we will save them,” Haruto showed off one of his rings “and we Riders don't go back on promises,” Haruto said. Twilight looked to dins the other Riders smiling and nodding in agreement. Twilight wiped a stray tear with a hoof.

“Thank you everyone,” Twilight said.

“Ahem!” someone said behind them. They turned to see that Shining Armor was glaring at the Riders, an annoyed expression on his face.

“Just thought I'd let you know we're about to land in Canterlot. Get ready Riders,” Shining said as he turned to return to his troops. As he left he gave one last glare to Haruto.

The Riders and Twilight looked out across Canterlot. The city was in shambles with fire burning everywhere. There were no ponies in sight. Canterlot looked like little more than a burning ruin now.

Twilight looked down at the city and her worried expression came back.

“Please be okay”.

Meanwhile on the Exodus

“I thought you said that there would be no problems!? You never mentioned anything about these Kamen Riders!!” Chrysalis yelled as Retsu stood, calmly taking the changeling queen's verbal assault.

“You said these Kaijin of yours were unstoppable, and those Riders defeated them like they were mere foals!! How do you plan to fix this Retsu!?” Chrysalis yelled.

Retsu took of his glasses and wiped off some spit that had gotten on them from Chrysalis yelling.

“While I will admit the appearance of those damnable Riders was unexpected, the plan will still work,” Retsu said.

“And how, pray tell, are we going to accomplish that!?” Chrysalis growled.

Retsu smiled, which Chrysalis had to admit she found very unnerving.

“Did you forgot Chrysalis, we still have our trump card,” Retsu said as a door opened to reveal five lab tables. On the tables were five bodies covered with white cloth.

Chrysalis laughed as an evil smile appeared on her face.

“Ah, I see. You're quite right Retsu. Even with the Riders on her side, little Twilight won't stand a chance against this enemy,” Chrysalis said as the bodies began to rise from the tables.

What evil does Chrysalis have in store for our heroes?
Will Twilight's friends be okay?
Will Shining Armor ever get along with the Riders?
Will this joke ever get old?
