//------------------------------// // Stop 1 // Story: Friendship is Timeless // by Seanzilla115 //------------------------------// Twilight was walking to school as she was lost in thought remembering her video chat with her sister Celeste the other night when she got home. --- -Flashback- "Twilight, that wasn't a dream, an illusion, or anything of the sort. You and your friend Ryotaro really did travel to another place. But I'll explain how it works another time." Twilight's sister, Celeste explained on a computer monitor, most of her face obscured by her hair that was a mix of blue, green and pink, "But other then that, I'm happy you've made a new friend. It surprised me at first but I figured you and Ryotaro would get along you both have a love of libraries after all." "..Well..we had just met yesterday and stuff...though, there was this other girl." "Oh?" "Her name was Pinkie Pie but..she's really weird. She wouldn't leave me or Ryotaro alone, and couldn't stop laughing," Twilight added. "Twilight, never reject someone who wants to be your friend," Celeste advised, "Especially if they just want to make you happy. While I can understand she's not as calm and quite as Ryotaro, she has her qualities as a good friend." "...Well, if you're sure...I'll try." "It's all I ask as your big sister, also remember to put that tiara on again tomorrow, Celestia will teach you how to use it's powers and manipulate your spiritual energy." she advised in a slightly teacher like tone. "Meanwhile I'll be busy translating this book I found, I sent you a direct copy of what's written in it, but it's in a dead language so it might take some time to translate the key, but luckily at the moment I have lots of time on hand." she smiled with a cryptic chuckle in her voice. "But keep it on hand who knows maybe it will come in more handy than either of us expects." "...R..right." -End flashback- --- Back in normal time, Ryotaro was walking down the street in the early morning as he made his way to a bike shop to pick up his new bike. As he walked to the door, he placed his hand to the door. As he did time seemed to pause for just a second as he opened the door. "Mor...ning…" Ryotaro trailed off as he looked around, "Eh? A desert?" he blinked in shock looking around at the vast Desert he was now standing around as the door closed behind him, the next second the door was gone. "Eh?!" he panicked now that the way he got in was gone. It was then that a white and black bullet train came in and stopped before him. "A train appeared out of no where!" he panicked as he fell back into the sand from the sudden appearance of the train. After recovering for a moment, he slowly approached the train as it came to a stop, unsure of what was inside. "Ano...hello?" Ryotaro asked as he made it to one of the cars. "Is this a dream…?" he blinked. "How the hell should I know?" Momotaro's voice rang in his head. After the events of last night and a brutal beating of an entire street gang, the Imagin went back inside Ryotaro's mind to sleep and he learned that the two could communicate with one another mentally. "Well if it were, you'd have a body again…" "Don't bring that up again…" "Hai…" he mumbled as he knocked on the side of the car. "Hello?" he asked again, it was then a door on the side opened up to reveal a woman at the cars door. Her long hair that was a mix of blue green and pink swayed in the desert wind as she looked down at Ryotaro. This was Celeste, Twilight's sister. Only in person. "Oh. It's you, Ryotaro," she smiled, getting his attention. "...Ano, how do you know my-" Ryotaro began before Celeste grabbed him by the arm and pulled him inside just as the train was ready to leave once again. "Ah!" he cried as he was dragged in just as the train took off. "Phew...almost forgot you there." Celeste smiled as she let Ryotaro stumbled inside the car. "Oh how's your morning so far?" she asked as she opened the door into a dining car. "...Ano, fine so far...I guess." "Ah...That's good. It's so nice to meet you finally, Ryotaro," Celeste smiled as she sat at a table sitting Ryotaro in front of her. "I was so glad you were able to make friends with Twilight. It's always been hard for her to make friends with people." she trailed off more of talking in general. "...Ano..how do you know my...wait," Ryotaro paused as his eyes widened slightly in realization, "Are you..Twilight's sister?" "Oops. Sorry. I was a bit excited to meet you, Ryotaro. Yes. I'm Twilights elder sister Celeste, and welcome to DenLiner." Celeste explained happily as she shook his hand. "Now I'm sure you have many questions to ask me about that pass I sent to Twilight to give you." she said predicting what he was thinking. "Hai…" he said taking it out. "Why exactly did you send this to me?" "Hm...that will take some time, I'll give you a proper explanation after school." she answered, closing her eyes, "But for now you should know that pass allows you to come on DenLiner whenever you need, also...you can come out now Mr. Imagin," she smiled as sand fell off Ryotaro before it formed Momotaros sitting in the seat directly behind Ryotaro. "Ugh..finally. something comfy to sit on," Momotaros smirked as he reclined in the seat. "Eh? Momotaros...you have a body again…" Ryotaro said as he turned around. "How?" "That's because DenLiner exists outside of time. So while on it he can form a full body, but the second he steps off it's right back to the sand." Celeste explained. "I...I see…" Ryotaro noted. "Hmph, in that case...Ryotaro you can't leave this train till you make a wish." Momotaros said as he reached over the chair and grabbed Ryotaro, "You hear me, never ever allowed to get off." "My my...You two get along very well." Celeste smiled seeing this. "..Tch, whatever," Momotaros scoffed as he dropped Ryotaro before reclining back in his seat, his stomach soon rumbling, "..Oi! What does a guy have to do to get a bite to eat around here?!" "Oh. Well if you want, you can have some coffee." Celeste smiled. "Naomi! One Coffee...wait. Ryotaro, would you like a cup before school?" she asked the boy as he rubbed the spots Momotaros grabbed him. "Ah...I guess I could go for a cup." Ryotaro replied. "Naomi, two please!" she cheered as a girl appeared behind a counter on the other side of the dining car. It was a woman around Celeste's age but she was dressed in a tight waitress outfit consisting of black tight pants with white stripes, red heeled boots, a pair of red gloves and black sleeves that covered her arms, a white halter top that had no shoulders but still had a collar, a white cap on her head keeping her hair black hair with a pink streak combed back, and her arms were covered in a multitude of watches. "Hai~!" the waitress cheered as she began to pour two cups of coffee. "...Eh?" Ryotaro blinked before the waitress placed one of the cups before him, "Oh thank you…" he mumbled as he took the cup. "Here you go." Naomi said as she placed on infront of Momotaros who took the cup before he began to chug the caffeine down. "Mm...this is pretty good." Momotaros smirked a bit as he took another sip. "Oh…" Ryotaro took a sip, it was a bit bitter compared to what he normally liked to drink, but it was good in it's own way. "Good, isn't it?" "Indeed, it's a little different from what my sister makes but it's good." Ryotaro admitted. "Oh? Can I have yours?" Momotaros asked as he finished his before taking Ryotaro's and chugging it down. "...Uh...sure…" Ryotaro replied, sweat dropping a bit. "Yup, they make a good pair." Celeste smiled as she watched the two. "..s..so..those things you sent to Twilight, why did you send them to her?" "Hm...you worry for your friends." Celeste noted, "Well if you must know Ryotaro, I honestly wouldn't have wanted to force her into something like this, let alone something like the Imagin. But as it stands I didn't have much a choice." "Choice...so then something bad is going to happen?" Ryotaro asked. "Possibly...one threat here now, and another in the future, then the Imagin are a threat in the past, lots of threats isn't it." she mumbled before looking directly at Ryotaro. "But I think that even with all of time threatened, someone like you could help make it easier." "Me?" Ryotaro asked. "Indeed, a person who can become Den-O." she smiled. --- (Op theme Kamen Rider Den-O Climax Jump:) Owner: Toki no ressha Denrainā (The train of time, DenLiner).

Sugee jan?! --- Stop 1: The Climatic First Henshin! --- Back with Twilight, the violette was still in deep thought as she walked down the street, the conversation with her sister still fresh in her head. She had read a bit of the book Celeste sent her, but one thing was on her mind… '...Can i really use magic?' Twilight thought before she stopped in her tracks, seeing a familiar, excitable pinkette waiting at the school entryway, looking out for something, 'Oh no, it's Pinkie! Yesterday was tiring because of her...I better hide. It's too early to get worn out.' Twilight then slowly walked to an angle where Pinkie wouldn't see her before she tiptoed past the girl. "Hm...it's late and Twilight hasn't shown up yet...or Ryotaro." Pinkie noted, looking out to the street for any sign of the two, not aware one was directly behind her. 'I knew it. She is looking for me..and Ryotaro,' Twilight thought as she slowly crept by Pinkie. once she was away from the pinkette, she hightailed it out of there to find a place to hide before she skidded to a halt, the violette almost about to run into a familiar blond, "Ohh sorry. Didn't see you there." The blond didn't' seem to respond as she was focused on her book. 'Hm...maybe she didn't hear me. Wait, I remember her, she's the one who pushed the girl with the rainbow colored hair.' she remembered to the other day, "..uh, hi. I'm Twilight and…" "Ah don't care," the blonde responded, her voice having a bit of a southern drawl as she walked away, still focused on her book. "What's wrong with her?" Twilight pondered. She could feel an ever so small hint of anger in the girl's voice. "Her name is Applejack. She just moved to the city last month," a voice explained as Pinkie appeared out of no where, "Truth is, nobody knows why she's so serious." "I see…" Twilight noted before she realized who she was talking too, making her turn to see the pinkette before leaping back in shock, "Ahh! Pinkie?! Where did you come from?!" "You're so silly! I was standing in the entry and you didn't even see me. Hahahaha," she giggled mistaking it for Twilight just walking past Pinkie. "Yeah...hehehheh…" Twilight chuckled sheepishly, sweat dropping a bit. "..Where's Ryotaro? Have you seen him, Twilight?" Pinkie asked as she looked around the area. "Huh...come to think of I haven't," she replied before remember Momotaros. 'Oh I hope he's okay, and that freaky Imagin thing hasn't taken control of him again…' --- "Achoo!" Momotaros sneezed, which ended up getting his coffee spilt on him, "Gah! HOT! HOT!" --- "Hmm...really?" Pinkie asked her face looking down. "Boy I hope he's okay. Ryotaro is awfully clumsy." she said, an obvious tone of worry in her voice. "I hope he's okay too…" Twilight agreed, '..Unless Momotaros got him in another fight.' --- "Achoo!" Momotaros sneezed, which once again got coffee spilt on him, "GAh! Why does this keep happening?!" --- "Well let's wait for him then," Pinkie suggested happily. "...Shouldn't we get into class already?" "Oh no worries. Class hasn't started yet anyways," Pinkie smiled happily. It was then the two heard a sound and looked to the tool shed behind the school as the door opened and Ryotaro walked out in a dazed and confused manner looking around the area as if he had no idea how he got there. The boy went back in the door confused before coming back out. "..Ano..what just…?" Ryotaro began. "Hey, Ryotaro! Hey! Hey! Over here!" Pinkie called out to him, making him turn to see the pinkette and Twilight, the former waving over to him. "Ah. Twilight. Good morning." he greeted, walking over to her, "Oh. And morning to you too, Pinkie." "Where were you at, mister?" Pinkie scolded him. "Ano...well I was going to pick up my bike..but then I ended up on a train where I met some interesting people...and then I got off...and...I ended up coming out the tool shed...now I'm confused…" he said holding his head. "..That's...odd," Twilight blinked a bit. "Eh. I've seen and heard odder things," Pinkie shrugged, "Like a dragon living inside a castle..or a dragon that's literally a castle." "Ano Pinkie...this isn't a manga." Ryotaro said weakly. "I know..just mouthing off," Pinkie waved off with a small smile before the bell rang, "...Ooh! We better hurry! Classes are starting!" she exclaimed as she looped her arms around both the Ryotaro's and Twilight's before she took off, dragging the two with her to class. "..E..eh?" the two blinked. --- The morning was uneventful, Ryotaro and Twilight sat through class with Pinkie bothering the two on occasion with multiple random things, and this mostly happened to Twilight until the lunch bell rang and the students were set free to eat. Ryotaro had a bag lunch that he ate with Twilight in the cafeteria, off to the side so the two could speak without eavesdroppers. "A train where Momotaros has a full body again?" Twilight asked Ryotaro. "Hai...it's hard to fully explain how it works...Celeste-san didn't have time to explain everything." "I see...wait," Twilight's eyes widened at that last part, "My sister was there?" "Hai...She's the one who pulled me into the train when it began to move again. She also helped me understand some of the things. Seems she knows a lot about this train, and even Momotaros and the Imagin." he explained, "But she wanted to make sure I made it to school in time so she couldn't explain it all properly." "I see…" Twilight noted as she took a quick bite of her rice from the box lunch she brought from home, "Anything else?" "W-well..." "Hi, guys!" "Ahh/kya!" Ryotaro and Twilight yelped when Pinkie appeared from behind them. "*cough* Pinkie, please don't scare me like that…" Ryotaro asked meekly as he coughed from swallowing his food down the wrong tube from the shock. "Sorry. Wanted to say hi to you guys," Pinkie replied as she took the opposite side, putting down a box-lunch filled with various sweets. "Wow..that's a lot of sweets." Twilight noted, 'That explains why she's so hyperactive.' "Thanks. I got them from this bakery near my place, and it is filled with very good sweets and pastries!" Pinkie beamed, munching down a cupcake with one bite, "Mmm~ Delicious!" "Oh...I think I know the shop you're talking about, Nee-san really likes some of the cakes they have there." Ryotaro spoke up ,recognizing the smell of some of the sweets. "Cool," Pinkie smiled before she pulled out a pudding cup, "Mmm..yummy pudding!" --- "Gh!" Momotaros freezed, overhearing that through his connection with Ryotaro, "..P...pudding?" he blinked as he stood up getting the attention of the others two present. "Wait for me, my beloved pudding! I'm on my way!" with that he ran before turning into a red light that vanished into a ripple at the end of the car. --- Ryotaro took a sip of his water before his body tensed as lightning raced up his body for a moment only noticed by Twilight, his hair then straightened and spiked back as a red streak formed in his hair. His eyes then turned into bright red with a glow to them. His shirt and jacket became tighter on him as his muses index increased as well. "Hmm?" Pinkie blinked, pausing from taking a bite of her pudding when she noticed the change, "Hey, Twilight. Is Ryotaro alr-" "ORE SANJOU!" M-Ryotaro shouted, jumping up as he struck a pose, shooting one arm forward and the other back, almost in a surfing like pose. He cracked his neck as Twilight paled at this happening now. "Ahh...Feels good to be out here." 'Oh no..not now! Please not now!' Twilight mentally panicked as M-Ryotaro turned his gaze towards Pinkie. Or to be specific, the pudding cup in her hands. "Oi, Momokami-onna. Give me that," M-Ryotaro demanded, pointing at the pudding cup, "Hand it over now...or else." "...No," Pinkie huffed as she held teh cup, "This is my pudding." "Give it to me." "No!" "Give it to me!" "No!" "GIVE IT TO ME OR I WILL END YOU!" he shouted as a dark red and black aura formed around him that everyone noticed and caused them to be scared by this. They all though the new guy was some spineless wimp, but this was not that at all. "No!" Pinkie stated again. "Oi! What the hell is with you?! It's one pudding! What you got against me to not hand it over? I'll remind you I'll end you, and I don't do things like warning shots! I'll hit you, Momokami-onna!" "...my answer's still no." "GRRR! Damn it! Give it to me!" M-Ryotaro snapped as he stomped on the table, which resulted in getting all the food on it sent flying, "AHH! The pudding!" Time seemed to slow down as the pudding flew through the air before eventually hitting someone..which happened to be the blond form this morning. 'Uh oh!' Twilight and Pinkie paled mentally. "NO!" M-Ryotaro cried, falling to his knees before he hit his fist into the tile floor leaving a fist imprint. "My beloved pudding...it is gone...Now I need to hit someone! Hey! You guys in the letter jackets, come here!" he shouted as he ran after various jocks. "...Alright...who did it?" Applejack spoke, causing everyone to freeze up as she sat up, wiping the pudding off her face, "Who threw that pudding at me?" "I said come back here, jock boy! My fist need to hurt you still!" M-Ryotaro cried out in the quietness as he already slammed three jocks into a wall before chasing another. "...He did it," was mostly everyone's response as they pointed to M-Ryotaro. "Heh...who did what now?" he asked as he grabbed a jock by his collar and lifted him up. Applejack frowned as she walked over to him, the blond a bit taller than he was as she stared down at him. "Can I help you, blondy?" M-Ryotaro asked not that phased by the height difference. "..Y'all think it's funny waistin' food like that...and beaten up people fer fun?" the blond frowned. "Pft...oh joy. Someone is lecturing me again. Look, this is all I can do when I'm out to feel alive. I won't change for someone who don't like it." "...one hit." "Eh?" "If ah get one hit in on ya, you have t' leave." "...Heh...I'd like to see you t-" --- "Oooh~" Momotaros winced as he laid down, an ice pack over his face as it had an imprint of a boot on it. The Imagin sitting in a seat back on Denliner with Naomi taking care of him, "Damn that blond onna...but damn can she kick." --- "Ah…" Ryotaro groaned back to normal as he got up, the change actually quite noticeable. "Ow...what did he do while in control this time?" he asked about Momotaros. "He fought Pinkie over a pudding cup before it hit her," Twilight explained, putting to a table further away from theirs as Applejack sat on it, resuming eating her lunch. "Ah…we really need a way to control this." Ryotaro sighed as he sat back up. "Agreed," Twilight nodded in agreement. "Hm…" Pinkie muttered as she leaned in to stare at Ryotaro. "You changed back to quite nice Ryotaro...when before you were mean Bully Ryotaro…" she pondered, "...Do you have Multiple Personality syndrome, Ryo?" "Eh...well I guess you could sort of say that…" Ryotaro replied, not sure how to explain it properly. "It sort of happened recently." "Recently?" "Uh yeah. I'm not sure why it happened to me though." Ryotaro said that much he was honest, he had no clue why these things were happening to him. "...Okay...But if I were you, I'd go see Nurse Redheart about that nasty kick you took earlier," Pinkie advised. "Eh? Kick?" Ryotaro asked. He still was not aware of all the things Momotaros did in his body. Sometimes it was as if he blinked, and missed his own body taking down multiple people. "Ahaha...well you got yourself kicked hard and knocked back to normal. In one blow," Twilight stated. "Eh? One kick?" "From her," Twilight answered, pointing back to Applejack's table. "Oh." he blinked. "I should go apologize for...for my other self disturbing her so." "I don't think that's a good idea," Pinkie spoke. "Maybe...but I wouldn't feel alright if I didn't apologise, even if I wasn't in control, it still make me feel bad because it was my body and all that." Ryotaro explained honestly. "...Alright. Don't say I tried to warn you," Pinkie shrugged as she pulled out another box lunch from her hair, making Twilight do a double take. "Wh...how did…?" "My hair is very poofy," Pinkie explained, "I hide stuff in here all the time since I was little. I got better and better at it." she added. "Sugei." Ryotaro awed. "Don't encourage her." Twilight whispered to him. "Sorry…" he chuckled. "Hm...this is why I like normal Ryo, he's wishy-washy." Pinkie explained happily as she began to eat her lunch again. "Sorry." Ryotaro apologised again as Twilight sighed, Ryotaro was a little bit wishy-washy. "It's fine…" Twilight sighed as Ryotaro stood up, "..You're really going to go apologize to her, aren't you?" "Yes...I know I wasn't the one who did it. But if because of me someone was hurt or upset, I feel really bad, with my luck the last thing I ever want is someone to be hurt because of me," he said honestly. "So I want to at least say sorry for what I did, or I'll always feel guilty about it." "..Sensible. He is also Sensible..don't find that in many guys," Pinkie noted as she ate her 4th cupcake. "You're not wrong." Twilight agreed as Ryotaro walked across the cafeteria over to Applejack's table. "Hmm?" Applejack paused from eating her lunch as she looked up to see Ryotaro. "Ano…" Ryotaro spoke up meekly. "I know I did something to upset you…" he began. "but...I wanted to say, I'm very sorry. I know it doesn't mean much but I meant it that I didn't mean to act like I did…" he said honestly the difference between M-Ryotaro and the normal Ryotaro not lost on anyone. "...Apology accepted. Now if y'all don't mind. Ah'd like t' eat mah lunch," Applejack stated as she resumed eating. "Right…" Ryotaro said as he bowed his head slightly before he turned to leave, but by the law of the chaos theory, Ryotaro slipped on something and ended up sliding all the way across the cafeteria and into a trashcan. "...Talk about unlucky," AJ sweatdropped a bit upon seeing this, "...Ugh...ah know ah'm possibly goin' t' regret this." "itai…" Ryotaro winced, his eyes replaced with swirls before a hand was offered to him, "E..eh?" he looked up at who offered him the hand his eyes back to normal again. "Let me help y'all out of there.." Applejack stated as she offered her hand to him. "Oh thank you…" he said with a weak chuckle as she pulled him up. "sorry for causing you trouble again…" he apologized. "..It's fine. Just..be careful where y'all step next time. Cafeterias tend to be breddin' grounds fer trouble and such," Applejack stated as she walked back to her table. "Hai…" Ryotaro said meekly as he did the same. "...Wow..he actually got her to help him," Pinkie blinked after she and Twilight saw what happened, "That's...actually quite surprising since she hasn't' helped anyone here since she arrived." "Maybe Ryotaro is just that nice?" Twilight pondered. Even when he learned of Momotaros and what he did with his body he never got upset, he just tried to understand the Imagin. "Maybe…" ---- -Later, at the end of the day- Pinkie and Twilight where leaving school together the two wanted to wait for Ryotaro but the boy said he wanted to go pick up his bike before heading home. So currently Twilight and Pinkie were making their way to Milk Dipper. Twilight to finish reading the book from her first visit, and Pinkie...well she just followed Twilight and to find out where it was Ryotaro lived. "Want one?" Pinkie asked the violetette, offering her a lollipop as the two walked down the street. "This is definitely why you're so hyperactive." Twilight sweatdropped a little, walking next to Pinkie noticing this was like her sixth lollipop. "..Twilight, can I ask you something?" Pinkie asked, earning the violetette's attention, "..Do I...bother you?" "What...makes you say that?" Twilight asked, a bit taken back at the question. "...For as long as I can remember, others don't like to be around me," Pinkie replied with a sad smile, "They say it's because of my personality." "Really? I thought you'd have tons of friends." Twilight said in shock. "But if you know they don't like your personality why don't you change it?" "...Because it's my nature," Pinkie replied as she looked at Twilight, "I want to share happiness with the people I know, especially my friends." Twilight looked at Pinkie in shock. Pinkie wasn't being weird just for fun, she was merely trying to make people smile. This surprised her so much. It then reminded her of her conversation with Celeste the other night. 'Twilight never reject someone who wants to be your friend, especially if they want to make you happy.' Celeste's voice rang in her head for a moment. "Pinkie, you don't bother me," Twilight spoke up, "It's just I've never been very sociable, it's hard for me to be around others, in fact that I made friends with Ryotaro is a shock to me as well. So it's not your fault." "...Thanks Twilight," Pinkie smiled softly, "..Hey! can I sleepover at your house tonight? I got something super important that I really need your help with." "Huh tonight…?" she asked, 'Tonight is when Celestia was suppose to teach me magic, but I know Celeste, she'd prefer if I meet more people first.' she figured in her mind. she then smiled and turned to Pinkie. "Okay Pinkie, that sounds like a good idea." she replied. "Great!" Pinkie beamed as she pulled Twilight into a hug, "I knew you'd like it!" she stated happily as she hugged the girl with all her might. "Uh..y-yeah," Twilight sheepishly nodded a bit, '..I wonder how Ryotaro's doing?' --- Ryotaro walked out of the bike shop with his newly fixed bike before making his way home. He came up to a light as it turned red and pulled to a stop, a somewhat happy grin on his face at the happy moment. But before he could move on he felt a shaking. he looked back as a multicolored portal formed in the air before a set of tracks formed out of no where on the street before the DenLiner pulled up right next to him. "Kaa-san, look a train." a little boy awed from a stopped car, getting his mother's attention as she looked at the train and froze in shock as the DenLiner came to a complete hault. "Eh?!" Ryotaro shouted as the cars door opened as Celeste appeared in the door frame. "Ryotaro, come on. We have more to talk about." she called out, happily waving to him. "...Huh?" Celeste just giggled in response as she quickly got out and dragged Ryotaro into the train just as it was about to leave once more. The DenLiner then took back off as the tracks began to form upwards into another portal before it flew off into it and back into the desert like world. All the while leaving Ryotaro's poor bike right there in the street. "...Ano, what is it you want to talk about, Celeste-san?" Ryotaro asked as he sat down. "Many things." she explained as Ryotaro looked to see Momotaros who was snoring in a booth. "First let me explain more on that pass of yours." she said as Ryotaro pulled it out of his pants pocket. "What I told you was that allowed you to get on DenLiner, but that's just the pass alone with nothing else. It's special uses is something much more impressive. It will let you change." "Change?" he blinked. "How do I explain this properly but simply...oh, I believe to you the phrase would be 'Henshin'." she smiled. "Henshin…" he asked meekly looking at the pass as it seemed to glow for a second. "Not here. Wait till you need to," Celeste explained as she touched his hand and made him put the pass down. "It will allow you to use your will and make it materialize as an armor." she explained simply. "An armor?" he repeated, looking at the pass again. "Yes. An armor," Celeste nodded. "It will represent your strength of will." she explained. "However it's often only one armor per person, but…" she paused, happily looking over at Momotaros. "With someone else taking control, you could gain a different one. So you and Momotaros will make it more exciting." she smiled. "I..I see…" Ryotaro noted, looking over at the snoozing Momotaros, a snot bubble coming out where his nose would be. "I know it looks hard to trust in someone like him now, but you can tell can't you?" Celeste asked Ryotaro, "That deep down he's not such a bad guy." she finished with a smile again. Ryotaro said nothing, but she was right. He could feel something about Momotaros. Sure he was crude and violent, but deep down he could feel he was a good person. "...Come with me," Celeste spoke as she stood up, "There's something I'd like to show you in the front car." "Okay." he nodded, getting up. --- Back with Twilight, she and Pinke had just arrived at her home, the violette it just walking inside. "Mom, dad, I'm home! And I brought a fr...er, a classmate!" Twilight called out, only to get silence in response, "..That's odd. Where…" "Mom and dad both went shopping," Spike replied as he walked up to them. "Hm...okay," Twilight nodded before she remembered Pinkie was there, "Oh..Pinkie? This is my little brother. Spike. Spike, this is Pinkie Pie." Twilight introduced back and forth. "Aww!" Pinkie awed as she grabbed Spike into a hug while scratching his hair. "He's so cute! How are you?" she asked excitedly. "F..fine…" Spike managed to get out, his face buried into her chest before she dropped him on the floor, his hair a mess, "I liked Ryotaro more…" he complained. "Hmm? You met Ryotaro?" Pinkie asked. "Yeah both him and his pe-mmph!" Spike was cut off when Twilight covered his mouth before he said something about Momotaros. "Hmm both what?" Pinkie asked intrigued. "Uh, nothing Pinkie!" Twilight chuckled nervously before whispering to Spike, "She doesn't know about you-know-who. So if you bring him up, I'll erase every single game you saved on your memory card." "Alright fine I won't talk about you-know-who, and stop using my games as hostages already, both mom and Celeste told you to stop that too." Spike complained. "I know.." Twilight said as she looked back at Pinkie, "so, shall we proceed to my room then?" "Okay!" Pinkie smiled skipping after Twilight. --- -A few minutes later- "Okay, Pinkie. What's the problem? Math?" Twiligth asked as she sat down on her hcair while Pinkie sat on her bed, Spike reading a comic book nearby. "No. I'm super good at math," Pinkie smiled. "So English?" "Nope." "Don't tell me...History?" "Hahaha...noo~" "So then what do you need me to help you with?!" Twilight snapped. "Easy. I need you to help me pick the music for yours and Ryo's welcome party!" she smiled happily as she kicked her legs while sitting on the foot of Twlight's bed, "Hmm...maybe we can ask that one girl from my class, Vinyl Scratch for help. She's really good at music..well, her friend Octavia is too, but Vinyl's better when it comes to party music." "You guys are throwing a party?!" Spike asked excitedly. "Yeah! Isn't it cool?" Pinkie asked as she leaned her head back to look at Spike, who was sitting directly behind her. "Yeah, can I come?" he asked. "Sure! Hahaha," Pinkie laughed along with Spike happily. 'Ugh...I passed up a lesson with Celestia Teaching me magic for nothing...' Twilight mentally groaned before she felt the air suddenly get cold and stale, "..What is this? Pinkie, do you feel that?" She received silence as a response, "...Pinkie?" she asked as she touched Pinkie and noticed her body was rigid and stiff, as if frozen in place, "..O no...Spike! Something's wrong with Pinkie!" She received more silence when she noticed Spike was also frozen, causing her eyes to widen. "Spike?" she asked looking at him, "Spike!" she shouted getting no response, 'Oh no, Spike's not moving either…' After a moment, she was covered in an aura of sorts, causing her to panic a bit. "Wh..what's ha-" Twilight began before she dissapeared from the room. --- "-penning?!" Twilight finished before her eyes widened as she quickly looked around, seeing she was in the park not too far from her home, "H-how did I get here?" she asked as she stood up. "Good evening." a voice spoke, getting Twilight's attention, "..Up here." Twilight looked up to see a girl her age with tan skin, long blue hair, and wore the same uniform she wore. "Wh...who are you?" Twilight nervously asked, the violette getting a bad vibe from looking at the blue haired girl. "I go by many names, but that won't matter once I'm through with you." the girl explained as her eyes settled into a glare, "I can sense you're emitting a powerful aura. Surely your spiritual energy was recently awakened." "What are you talking about?" Twilight asked. "Simply put you are the only one not paralyzed by my spell." she explained, "That is only possible if you are protected by your spiritual energy." "..So you're the one who paralyzed Pinkie and Spike," Twilight realized. "Everyone within the radius of my spell has been frozen in place, it only takes a small amount of my magic to paralyze normal humans. Except for you, you are protected by your spirit of harmony." "..I...I don't know what you're talking about," Twilight stated. "Do not lie to me, little girl. I can tell your aura was just recently awakened," the blue haired girl explained with a slight frown, "That's only possible if it was triggered by someone….or something." 'Triggered….it must have been the other day when I put on the headband Celeste sent to me.' Twilight thought. "Only bearers of the Spirits of Harmony are capable of controlling their spiritual energy without prior preparation." "So...you also have one of those spirits?" Twilight couldn't help but ask. The blue haired girl frowned in response as an aura covered before she began to float in the air, her skirt lifting up a bit to reveal one of her thighs was covered in a midnight blue 'splotch' with a moon in it. A pair of 'wings' then grew out of her back as she stared down at Twilight. "Insolent child! I am above all of you, for I am the reincarnation of the alicorn princess of the moon, and bear her name!" the girl stated as she lifted a finger up, creating a dark midnight blue fireball with a moon in it, "My name..is Luna. And I have somethign that shall test you." "T..test me?" "Yes test, I want to be sure you are worth the trouble," she explained, snapping her finger as sand fell on the ground before it began to take shape, surprising Twilight before it fully formed into a monster. Standing there was an Imagin! Its body was midnight blue with a cape like the wings of a bat and two more wings one on each forearm and its bat like face glared at Twilight. "Hime-sama," the Imagin bowed to Luna, "What is your wish?" "My wish…" Luna began as she pointed at Twilight, "Is that you soften her up for me so that I may extract her spiritual energy." "Of course, Hime-sama...leave it to me." the Bat Imagin bowed as he turned to face Twilight. "I wish I could say I was sorry, but truth be told, I am not. You humans are but expandable to us Imagin. So I wish I could say I'd make this quick and painless, but I'm not that kind." "Uh...uh…" Twilight whimpered, her body shaking as the Bat Imagin stared her down. "If I were you, I'd start running," Luna advised before looking at the Bat Imagin, "Nightwing, get her." "I am named now...this is different," the Imagin admitted before he spreads his arms out as his wings grew slightly before he flew up over Twilight before he swoop down at her, the girl ducked to the side once dodging it. "Hehehe...I will enjoy this little game." he smirked as he swung his wings sending a sound blast causing the ground to explode. --- Back at the DenLiner, Ryotaro was lead to the front car by Celeste. The inside was a room with red lights and a screen that displayed the track ahead of it, but what was strange was in the center was a white bike with blue accents and a bird like design to it headlight section. "Ryotaro, may I present you Den-o's personal bike, the Machine Den-Bird," Celeste smiled, motioning to the bike. "Sugei." Ryotaro said as he walked up to it. "Is...is this bike driving the train?" he asked the obvious question. Celeste just giggled it was almost child like the way he asked. "You could say that, yes," Celeste nodded before she heard Momotaros scream off-screen, "oh..seems your friend is awake, Ryotaro." "Eh...think we should go check on him?" Ryotaro asked. "No need. He should be coming to us any second now." "Oh alright." Ryotaro nodded. --- Back at Twilight's home, a blue glow was coming from the box holding Twilight's Tiara and the Elements of Harmony, one of the elements glowed in response as a blue symbol appears over Pinkie's forehead freeing her from the spell. "Huh?" she blinks looking around, "Twilight? Twilight where are you?" she asked she then got up. "Spike? Where'd Twilight go?" she asked the boy, only for him to give no response, "..Spike...are you playing freeze tag by yourself?" It was then she saw a bright flash of light outside before an explosion occured, "Hmm? What was that?" she asked looking out the window to see a faint light and a blur flying through the sky and swooping down repeatedly, "..Something smells fishy." --- "I..I think I lost him," Twilight panted, resting against a tree as parts of her outfit had a few cuts in it. Her eyes then widened a bit when she recalled something, "Wait..if she's the reincarnation of Luna, she must know about Celestia." "Celestia?" Luna's voice repeated, startling twilight as she looked up to see the blue haired girl standing on a branch, "What do you know about her?" "Huh?" Twilight blinked. "My sister Celeste. She's the reincarnation of Princess Celestia." "Nightwing, hold off for a moment," Luna ordered as the Imagin stopped and landed on the ground. He bowed in understanding as Luna turned her gaze at Twilight, a small dark grin on her face, "So….where can I find this..'Celeste'?" "Sorry. She's not in the city," Twilight replied. "Ohh...what a shame. I was hoping to meet her…" Luna 'sighed' before frowning a bit, "So I could harvest her sacred spiritual energy! Nightwing, resume the hunt!" "Hai Hime-sama!" the Imagin shouted as he raised his arms before he swung them down unleashing a more concentrated sound blast. Time seemed to slow down for Twilight as the sound blast headed towards her, her legs seemingly frozen in fear. But, just before the attack could hit, a familiar pinkette leapt in and tackled her out of the way,causing the attack to hit a tree instead, said tree exploding into splinters, leaving not much of remains. "Pinkie, you saved me!" Twilight said happily. "Twilght, you're meanie!" Pinkie scolded her, "You left me to go play with your friend and some cosplayer, and you didnt' even invite me!" "I'm not playing! Does this look like a game?! That 'Cosplayer' just fired a blast that destroyed a giant tree!" Twilight snapped. "Ugh...humans so noisy." Nightwing (as he was called) complained. "Wait..he was trying to kill you?" Pinkie blinked before tilting her head to the side, "Well that doesn't sound like fun." "Really...you don't say?" Twilight sweatdropped. "Don't worry, Twilight," Pinkie spoke as she got up, "I'll go over and talk to them." "Pinkie, wait!" Twilight called as the pinkette walked over to Luna and Nightwing. "Excuse me, miss blue haired lady and funny cosplayer? Can you please not hurt Twilight? She's my friend." 'What? How did she evade Nightwing's attack?..Furthermore, why isn't she surprised to see me float, or that Nightwing is really an Imagin?' Luna thought in slight surprise before it dawned on her, 'I see...she must have a Spirit of Harmony...' "Nightwing, go after the pink haired one as well." "Hai, Hime-sama." Nightwing nodded as he walked up to Pinkie before he delivered a backhand to her sending her falling away. "This one might be more interesting," "Pinkie!" Twilight gasped as she ran over to the pinkette, "Are you okay?" "Ow…." Pinkie winced as she managed to sit up, a bruise on her cheek, "That really hurt….I'm starting to think these guys aren't nice people, Twilight." "Heh...enjoy that idiocy. It will serve you well in these last moments," Nightwing smirked as he grabbed Pinkie by her neck and lifted her up, "Hime-sama wants me to take down both of you, and if it will fulfill her wish for revenge then I'll take down all of humanity. So please do me a favor and don't not prolong this," he smirked darkly as he lifted her up, his strength keeping a tight grip before he tossed her away with all his might, tossing her into a tree. "Gah!" Pinkie cried out as she was slammed into it, the pinkette losing consciousness soon after. "Pinkie pie, no!" Twilight cried. "You're next," Nightwing stated, aiming his blade at Twilight. --- "Oi, Ryotaro! Imagin!" Momotaros shouted as he ran into the front car, "And it's going after the annoying onna and the momo-onna!" "Eh?! Twilight and Pinkie?!" his eyes widened in shock as Celeste looked shocked as well. "Yes! Some blue haired chick just sicced the Imagin on them!" "Eh? Blue hai-" Ryotaro began before DenLiner went off on another track before going through a portal that brought it back into the city at night, "Nani? why are we…?" "No time," Celeste said as she quickly strapped a helmet on his head before she pushed him to the Den-Bird. "Get ready cause in the next few seconds this bike will be taking off." she explained as she gave him the pass. "Keep that. Remember, it is the key to becoming Den-O." she said as Ryotaro was seated on the bike. "Eh? Yes but...why do I need to be launched...what's going…?" he asked as the train dipped down picking up more and more speed as it went through the city. It was then Ryotaro could see a large dome of energy over a part of town as the Den-Liner picked up even more speed as it made it's way to the dome. "What's that?" he asked as it got closer. "AH! THIS MULTI COLORED HAIRED ONNA IS GOING TO KILL US!" Momotaros shouted. "Ryotaro, you need to head down there now, otherwise Twilight and her friend will…" Celeste paused, not wanting to finish her sentence, "..Just..please hurry." Ryotaro looked at Celeste before he nodded his head. "Hai...I understand." he said as he looked forward. The DenLiner then crashed into the dome and to Momotaro's shock shattered the dome to pieces. Not unnoticed by the caster of the spell that made the dome. --- "..Impossible..what could've destroyed my-" Luna began before she heard what sounded like a train whistle, "?" "Nandato?!" Nightwing gawked as DenLiner's tracks began to form as it came into the park, it's front section then opened as something shot out, it was Ryotaro on the Den-Bird as it crashed into the Imagin both of them being carried off before crashing Nightwing into a tree while Ryotaro lost control of the bike and sent himself flying into the ground tumbling along the dirt. "...Itai.." Ryotaro said, his eyes replaced with swirls as he laid face first on the ground. "Ryotaro!" Twilight called out, seeing the boy as he tried to get up only to fall back down. "Ah...it's hard to get back up…" he groaned from the fall as he took the helmet off. "Ryotaro...let me take care of it!" Momotaros' voice said as a red flash formed over Ryotaro. "Ore Sanjou!" M-Ryotaro shouted shooting up as he glared at Nightwing. "Heh...so you enjoy taking on girls like that? I'm almost disgusted. You and I are the same race." "..Except there's a difference," Nightwing stated with a frown, "You betrayed your own kind." "What you talking about? I never knew our mission at all. You're talking like we're on two sides. You work for your host, I work with mine. Conflicting ain't it?" M-Ryotaro smirked, "Heh...I don't know exactly what's going on with these girls but it looks like fun. Ikuze Ryotaro!" "...Nightwing. Deal with this pest," Luna ordered, glaring at the latest arrival. "Hai, Hime-sama," The Imagine complied as he charged at M-Ryotaro who ducked under his swings before kicking him in the stomach. M-Ryotaro then grabbed Nightwing by his shoulders before he dragged him and tossed him into a bush. "While Nightwing deals with him.." Luna began as she turned towards Twilight, "I will personally deal with you and your pink haired friend myself." "Leave..Pinkie out of this," Twilight panted, standing in front of the unconscious Pinkie defensively as she had a few more cuts on her outfit, along with one or two on her arms, "She didn't do anything to you!" "..How foolish," Luna sighed a bit, "Don't you see? That girl should've been severely injured from being thrown that hard, yet she's only unconscious. Her spiritual energy protected her, which means that she too bears a Spirit of Harmony." "Pinkie is also a Bearer of Harmony?" Twilight asked. "Yes. But unlike you, I feel it is more connected to her element," Luna stated with a small frown, "For that reason, I will harvest her spiritual energy first, then yours." she stated with a hint of anger in her voice. "...No," Twilight said, glaring at Luna, "Pinkie's one of the people who approached me, one of the people who talked with me...Pinkie is my friend," an aura soon gathered around her faintly, "And i won't let you hurt her!" she shouted. The surge of feelings and emotions caused a light to envelop Twilight, from out of nowhere the Jewel of Harmony representing Magic appeared on her forehead. As it did the headband in Twilight's room faded away into light before it appeared over the girls head and began to change appearance. As her tiara changed, a pair of bracelets appeared on her wrist, both having a gem that was either violet, or magenta in color. Under her skirt, a magenta star appeared on her thigh as it was surrounded by five, smaller stars. The tiara finally completed the change as it now was a light violet and magenta color while the horn stuck out of a gem shaped like a magenta star, the sides of it went off to cover Twilight's ears like headphones with two ridges along the sides that stuck out almost like ears. In the center was what looked a mini unicorn head with light violet 'fur', and a mane that was the same color as Twilight's. "What's..happened to me?" Twilight gasped as she looked at herself, a magic aura surrounding her, "My body feels strange." "Well, this unexpected," Luna noted upon seeing this. "Oi, she can do that?" M-Ryotaro asked as he ducked a swing from the Imagin before he grabbed a branch and swung it around like a sword before he clubbed Nightwing across the face sending him stumbling back from the shock of the hit. 'I didn't know this either.' Ryotaro spoke, being awake during the possession this time. "I see...heh. well I-Oof!" M-Ryotaro coughed as he was kicked by Nightwing, "Oh you're gonna get it now, Komori-yaro!" "Heh. What can you do? You don't even have a full contract with your host. The most you can do is control his body." "Hehe...maybe, but you shouldn't look down on us. Like it or not, you're facing me in a fight." he smirked, taking a step back before he grabbed something off the ground, revealing it to be the Den-Bird, which he stood back up before he jumped on and started it up. "Come on!" he shouted as the bike started up and shot forward as M-Ryotaro grabbed Nightwing's shoulder before dragging the Imagin off across the ground. "..We might as well join the fun," Luna smirked as she stared at Twilight, "Come! Let us fight!" "Fight?" Twilight blinked, "..Ugh..don't' see that fighting is never the solution?" "..That is something only cowards say. And if you won't start the fight...' Luna began with a frown as energy formed in her hands, "I will! Spectra Convicted!" she called as she formed several energy projections shaped like skulls that flew at Twilight and Pinkie, who was behind her. "Twilight!" Ryotaro cried out able to see this. "Damn that Annoying-onna!" M-Ryoutaro growled as he hit the brakes, letting go of Nightwing and letting him crash into a tree before it snapped and fell over him. M-Ryoutaro then skidded the bike to a stop as he revved it letting the tire spin and used the sudden stop to help it turn around. "Oh no..what do I do?" Twilight asked herself as the 'skulls' drew closer, "If I dodge, Pinkie will get hit and receive all the damage...I..I can't allow that!" she cried out as she pushed her hands forward, causing a golden yellowish barrier to appear before her that took the attack preventing any damage to anything. 'Sugei…' Ryotaro awed as he saw this feat. 'What?..I did that?' Twilight thought as she looked at the barrier she created, 'Wait...Yesterday night, after Celeste talked to me over the computer, I read a bit of the book she sent me. And one of the things I learned is that the powers of harmony are based on how connected I am to emotions. This...this is the key to using my power.' "Hmm...it really is your first time," Luna noted as she crossed her arms, "I Don't like fighting you in your current state, so I will give you a chance," a smirk then grew on her face, "I will let you attack me, and I won't move. In fact, I won't do anything." "Seriously? You're pretty arrogant! Not even Momotaros is that arrogant!" Twilight shouted. "HEY!" M-Ryoutaro shouted as he picked up Pinkie so he could carry her away from the fight. On Ryoutaro's orders that is. "I will give you one minute to try something. If you don't try...well, you already know the fate that awaits you and your friend." 'She's right. I only have one shot at this...' Twilight thought before she remembered something, 'Perhaps I should try the spell I read at the end of the book. If it is as powerful as the manuscripts says, not even Luna will be able to escape.' she thought further as light began to form around her. "Hmm...she finally decided to attack." Luna noted upon seeing this. "Come on, show me what you got!" she challenged. 'Please Elements of Harmony..for the safety of my family, my friends, and my life...help me,' Twilight prayed mentally, with that each Element glowed and sent a light to Twilight, covering her in a multi colored aura. "Wh..what's happening?" Luna asked, slightly unnerved by this. "Thank you.." Twilight whispered as her eyes glowed, "Friendship's Magic!" At that a multi colored beam of light shot off into the air. "?!" Luna gasped as she quickly brought her wings up to block the attack before it engulfed her, the light shooting straight into the night sky before it faded. "I….I...I did it…" Twilight panted as she fell to her knees, her tiara and bracelets disappearing. "Child...what you just did was foolish..." Luna's voice spoke, shocking Twilight. "No it can't be...that was a direct hit." Twilight gasped as the dust from the beam cleared away, showing a frowning Luna. "I have no idea where you learned that spell, but you need to study it more," Luna scowled, "For it to work, you need to reunite the five carriers of the other spirits, otherwise the attack will contain only your energy and nothing else." "But...I saw how the other energies came to me…" Twilight said as she began to breath heavily, her body feeling exhausted., "And why...do I feel...so..exhausted?" "It's because of the side effect," Luna answered, "It took most of your power. Also in your case, because you were the caster, you lost your transformation, leaving you totally exposed to an attack! Nightwing!" she called as the tree the Imagin was pinned under was blown to splinters. "Gomen, Hime-sama. I shall take care of these three. The Boy will be on the house," Nightwing stated as he charged at them. The Imagin swung his arm and was ready to hit Twilight but the blow was taken by M-Ryotaro as he stood in front of her. He grabbed the Imagin's arm under his keeping him from moving. "Tsk...annoying-onna...making me have to act this stupid as to be your shield…" he growled as Nightwing began to punch his face with his free arm, making him stumble back with each blow. "You...owe Ryotaro...an apology after all this…" he growled as another punch hit his face making a small bit of blood trickle from his mouth. "Out...of my way!" Nightwing snarled as he punched M-Ryotaro hard, sending him tumbling back as he changed back to regular Ryotaro. "Hmph. Without the Imagin, good luck of stopping me." But to everyone's shock, Ryotaro got up and grabbed the Imagin from behind, weakly trying to hold the monster back. "Let go!" Nightwing shouted as he grabbed Ryotaro before punching him, sending him stumbling to the ground. But the boy just got back up, "How...no human can take this amount of pain?" Ryotaro stood back up as his hair shadowed his eyes. "Ry...Ryotaro?" Twilight gasped a bit, panting heavily still. "I don't understand…" Ryotaro spoke weakly. "Why do you have to fight like this?" he asked both the Imagin and Luna, "I don't fully understand why you must fight...but...I won't let you hurt them…" he explained. "I'm not very useful to most...but if I can help my friends...then I can be happy with that." he explained a sense of courage in his voice inspite of his body barely being able to stand. He then reached into his pocket before he pulled out the pass. "..." he held it tightly as he remembered what he was told. "H….Hen...shin!" he called out as a light formed around his waist before becoming a white belt with a black stripe, the buckle was square with a clear buckle that resembled the symbol on the pass and to the left was a series of four buttons, red, blue, yellow and purple. Ryotaro looked at this before he turned around to look at the full belt before his hand and pass swept over the buckle. With that, shards formed around Ryotaro before they collected to his body forming a suit. His suit was black with white boots and shin pads and armor on his upper thighs the sides of his belts now two gadgets each. His chest was covered in a armor plate that was black with a silver track down the middle and two white ribs on the sides, the inside of his arms where a light grey color and his forearms were covered in white gauntlets with a silver portion near his elbow, the back of his hands had white armor and his fingers where the same grey color. His suit also had a white collar around his clavicles, and lead to the helmet now covering his head. It was white with a yellow stripe on the side, a silver chin strap, with a mouthplate that resembles a train track that went up the center of his helmet to the very back, his eyes could see out of two black visors on either side of the track that also connected to the top of the helmet. "Eh...kore ga...Den-O?" Ryotaro blinked from behind the helmet as he took the form of Den-O, Plat form, it's default state. "R..Ryotaro?" Twilgiht gasped, her eyes widened upon seeing this. "This..is a bit interesting," Luna noted, looking at Den-O, "..Regardless, it changes nothing. Nightwing, finish him." "Hai, Hime-sama!" Nightwing shouted as he charged and swung at Den-O, who yelped as he ducked under it before he ran past the Imagin. "Matte!" "Ah!" he cried as he dodged another one. "I forgot...I don't know how to fight!" he cried as he ducked another swing before he ducked behind a tree, making Nightwing slash at it, cutting the tree in half. "Eep!" Den-O yelped, seeing this as he ducked under another swing, poked his head up, then ducked another one. He then came up and tossed a branch at Nightwing, distracting him for a moment. "Ugh! Stop this bit!" he shouted lunging at Den-O, only for him to duck to the side and let the Imagin fall into a pond. "It seems he's a lot slower now?" Den-O noted as he backed away. He then ducked a sonic blast and rolled behind a tree to gain some cover. "Grr! This is getting annoying!" Nightwing growled. "Ugh…"a voice groaned from behind Twilight as a pile of sand formed into Momotaros' body. "Oi...what happened to batboy?" he asked groggily. "Ah!" Den-O cried as he ran from the flying Nightwing before he tripped and let the Imagin fly right over him. "You're kidding me!?" the Bat Imagin snapped before turning back around. "Oh! running again!" Den-O screamed before tripping again, letting Nightwing fly over him again. "Ah... for once my bad luck is coming in handy...who knew?" "Grrrr!" "Oh man!" Den-O yelped as he rolled out the way of a sonic blast. But it still caused the ground to explode. "Ryotaro!" Twilight called out as Den-O stuck his head up out of the smoke. "Heh...well it's not the worst day." he chuckled. He then ducked a swing from the Imagin before he jumped back from a kick. He ducked another one before he ended up stumbling and slammed his head into Nightwing's head, sending him stumbling back. Both fighters then held their heads in pain from the headbutt. "Nightwing, stop fooling around and end him already!" Luna barked. "If it where that easy I'd have turned him to shreds by now, but that suit of his makes it so he can react faster than a normal human should." he explained. "..The let me assist you for a bit," Luna said as her hand glowed, causing a seal to appear under Den-O before he struggled to stay up, almost as if he was being pushed down by something. "Ah…" Den-O cried as he tried to stand back up, but the suit only offered so much strength. "Ha!" Nightwing yelled as he fired a sonic blast pointblank that made sparks explode off Den-O and made him cry in pain as the attack flipped him over to his back. He then began to bombard Den-O with blast after blast making more and more sparks, explosions and cries of pain to come from Den-O. "Ryotaro, no!" Twilight cried out as Den-O was bombarded by Nightwing's attacks, "..Momotaros, you have to do something..." she begged. "Please." "Tsk...stop giving me those puppy eyes already…" he complained, "I was going to do it anyway...Ryotaro, I'm on my way!" With that, the Imagin turned into a ball of light that flew into Den-O making his body stiffen for a second before his hands tightened into fists. Den-O then slammed his hand into the ground as he forced his body to stand up, regardless of the spell and attacks. "RAAHHHH!" he roared in both Momotaros and Ryotaro's voices as the spell was shattered. Nightwing charged at this but Den-O punched him in the face sending him stumbling away. Den-O then let his body work on instinct before he pressed the red button and pulled the pass out again and swiped it over the buckle. =SWORD FORM!= With that armor formed around Den-O b a track of energy as a tune played. The armor then locked into place, his back now had yellow armor, while his chest was bright red with outward pointing shoulder pauldrons what where red on top with a silver lining. Finally what looked to be a peach cast over the back of the helmet and grinded down the track before locking in place and it opened into a pair of insect like compound eyes as the tips extend into antenna and a gold track formed in the center of the two eye pieces. The armor all began to glow bright red as Den-O's new form stood before them. "Ore...Futatabi Sanjou!" Den-O shouted in Momotaro's voice with a slight hint of Ryotaro's in it as well he also struck the same pose as before that resembled a surfer with one arm pointing back and the other forewords as he spreads his legs into a pose. "Heh, I knew I was that cool." Den-O smirked as he crossed his thumb over where his nose would be. "..What is this now?" Luna pondered in slight intrigue, 'He changed forms when that Imagin went into him...' "Ah, look at this. You're all struck quite by my awesomeness," Den-O smirked. "But you can gush over me later. Oi, you," he spoke to Nightwing, "Let me say this...I don't do things like holding back or warning shots. From start to finish I'm at the climax." he smirked to him, "So don't expect me to just let you get away with beating on my host, and two girls like that. If there's anything I do hate it's weak opponents like that." he said pointing at him. he then reached to his belt and grabbed the gadgets on one hip snapping them together before he tossed them into the air. He then grabbed the other two in his separate hands as the combined peace fell down. As it did, a blot of red lightning connected to it and held it in place before he connected them all together. With a twist, the tip of the top most portion extended a long red blade. He then pointed it at Nightwing, "So since my bit has been said, come at me you Komori-yaro." "...Fine. I'll end you, then go after the girls for my hime's wish," Nightwing stated as he charged. He jumped but Den-O ducked and slashed his sword hitting him across the chest ripping sparks from his body. Nightwing hit the ground but he turned around only to get slashed across the chest again before Den-O grabbed his shoulder and swung him around before tossing him to the ground. "Come on, I said no warning shots!" Den-O shouted as he slashed Nightwing across the chest once then twice before he stabbed it into his stomach keeping the Imagin in place. "I told you, I don't care for things like granting wishes, and since this works for me I'll just fight you guys." he said as he pulled it out and kicked Nightwing in the face sending him stumbling away. He then slashed his sword again sending Nightwing stumbling back before he stabbed it into the imagin again sending him falling back. "Imposible...how? How are you this strong?!" Nightwing demanded as he sent a sound blast at him. Den-O stood his ground as he twirled his sword before he slashed it, hitting the blast before sending it to the ground causing it to explode harmlessly. "Heh...you want to know alright I'll tell ya," Den-O smirked as he pulled the pass out again before he swiped it over the belt. "Let me show you with my new move. Hisatsu...ore no hisatsu waza." =FULL CHARGE!= "PART 2!" He shouted as the blade shot up. He then swung from the right as a red bolt of electricity connected the hilt to the blade, the sword cuttting through Nightwing. Den-O then swung from the left as the same happened. He then pointed it up before he swung down with all his might, the blade coming down and bisecting Nightwing down the middle with a red light and the blade crashing into the ground. Nightwing gasped in pain as his body slowly ever so gently slipped and split into two pieces before he exploded violently as the blade returned to Den-O. "Heh. Take that. My new secret technique." 'Momotaros...there was never a part 1.' "Shut up!" Den-O shouted. "It was so awesome, it skipped one and went to two! Thats just how badass I am! accept it! You accept it as well, Emo chick!" he shouted at Luna. "I'm just that awesome! I don't need to follow no reincarnated princess and stuff's logic!" he raged. "All I wanted was a body and now I have to deal with this. Why me! Even if this is awesome and fun!" 'Momotaros…' "What?!" 'The Imagin's body is reforming into something.' At that, the sand remains of the Imagin rose before it formed into some kind of monster. It had the wing of a bird, the wing of a bat, and the abdomen of a wasp with a stinger and everything. "Ah crap! I forgot that happens!" Den-O cried. 'You can turn into a Kaiju?' "Hell no I can't!" "Wh...what is that?!" Twilight exclaimed in fright and shock. "Eh. When one of us Imagin dies sometimes we turn into that thing…" Den-O explained. "I forget what it's called...oh right. Gigandeath!" he shouted as the Gigandeath cried out as it fired a stinger that exploded on impact. "AH!" Twilight and Den-O cried holding each other from the shock of the explosion. 'Well..let's see if they can get out of this,' Luna thought as she stood back to watch. "Ah what do we do?" Den-O asked. "You don't know?" Twilight asked. "Hell no! This is my first time at all this!" Den-O shouted before he heard a phone ring, "Oi is that me?" he asked, patting his suit all over. He then pulled out Ryotaro's cellphone. "Ah Ryotaro's not here right now." -Hello Momotaros~- Celeste's voice came from the phone. "Gah! You?!" Den-O shouted. "Oi tell me this suit's got some kind of weapon to fight that? If not then damn you for all of this!" -Relax. While the suit doesn't have a weapon built for fighting Gigandeaths, you have the next best thing. DenLiner- "DenLiner?" Ryotaro's voice asked from Den-O. "The train?" Den-O blinked before the Machine Den-Bird came up to him. -Eeyup. Just jump on Den-Bird and get back in the DenLiner then the rest is self explanatory.- Celeste explained simply. "...Grr...I hope you know what you're doing," Den-O grumbled as he turned towards Twilight, "Oi, annoying onna." he said getting her attention. "Ryotaro wants me to tell you to go make sure that Momo-Onna is safe, and to run if need be. He don't want you getting hurt." he grumbled as he started the bike. "..R..right," Twilight nodded, the violetette managing to stand up as she hurried over to Pinkie as fast as she could..due to her current condition. "Ikuze Ryotaro!" Den-O shouted as he took off the bike going off it's front wheel as it sped past the Gigandeath. He then drove to the edge of the park before he stood up with all his might and jumped the bike into the air just as Den-Liner came in it's black section opening up as Den-O and the Den-Bird landed in it as the top came down and closed. As the Den-Bird landed it connected to the driving section as red lights turned on. The DenLiner activated as the first four cars detached from the rest of the cars. It then went up with the tracks as it went into the air this surprising everyone. The DenLiner's tracks then turned to the side as the DenLiner slammed it's side into the Gigandeath sending it flying back and into some trees. DenLiner's track curled again as it cornered the Gigandeath. Luna didn't' say anything as she watched the battle transpire, a barrier around her to protect her from any stray shots and debris that would head her way. "Let's see what this does," Den-O said, pushing the first button on the Den-Bird. This caused the weapons system to activate. The first car opened up two beam cannons on the top, the second one opened a dog themed head to the side, the next the roof flipped open and a monkey like robot's eyes lit up, its oversized arms holding bombs. The next one opened as a bird like machine with bladed wings was revealed. The DenLiner turned around again it began to unleash a twin beam blast that hit the Gigandeath's bird wing leaving two holes, the dog head then fired out a large missile that hit the abdomen taking a large chunk out of that, the monkey then began dropping bombs that hit the main body destroying most of the wings and upper portion of it's body; the bird machine flew forwards and used it's wings to cut the rest of the body to pieces. The rest of the weapons continued shooting until there were no remains left of the Gigandeath. "Ha! Who's bad?! I'm bad!" Den-o whooped in victory from within the DenLiner. 'Not that it matters much now, but is it safe to just fire off bombs in a city like that?' "So what it worked didn't it!" 'I don't think that's a good way of thinking…' "Tch..whatever. Let's just go and check on the annoying onna and momo onna,"Den-O scoffed a bit. --- Twilight was left in a state of shock as she saw that battle. Who knew a train could do something like that? "So...he managed to beat it," Luna noted as she dispelled the barrier, "..not bad, but.." she soon turned her gaze back at Twilight, "I've wasted enough time. Time for me to claim what's mine." "..Why…" Twilight spoke, causing Luna to stop, "Why are you doing this to us?" "Very well I will tell you, it is because of Celestia." she explained. "Celestia?" Twilight asked. "A person who knows about Equestria's Kingdom, as she once lived there, told me that in my past life as an alicorn, Celestia locked me away in that worlds moon," Luna explained, her hand gripping into a fist, "Can you understand that? She locked away her own sister!" "Lies! Celestia would never do such a thing!" Twilight argued, "And even if what you say is true, that happened in another world! So why are you taking your revenge on us?!" "Because the person also said that currently, Equestria is in chaos because of a battle that happened happened there. This prompted Celestia to send over not just the Elements of Harmony, but also the souls of all inhabitants of her kingdom so that in the future Equestria could be returned to its former glory, and all those who lived there if they wished could return to their world," Luna explained. "Wh..what're you trying to say? That there are people here who used to live in that place?" "Exactly. And even more importantly, most of them live here in this very town, without even knowing what they were once in the past." she added, "and my goal is to seek revenge on all of them. But before that you and the other elements will feel my wrath." she added as her eyes began to glow as she held her hand out and formed another blast of magic energy. "AH!" Den-O cried as he jumped in and slashed his sword just as the blast came at Twilight, the sword cut through the attack, sending the attack's now two halves off to the side to explode behind them, "Hehe...I got here just in time." "...You again," Luna frowned. 'Is that really her reason for all of this?' Ryotaro's disembodied voice asked from inside Den-O. "I don't care, if I let these annoying women get hurt it will come to bite me in the ass I just know is." Den-O replied. "Oi emo-onna your minion is dead. beat it already." he said waving his hand for her to leave. "Don't you know how to play this game, we beat your monster you curse us and then run off." "..Hmpmh..how foolish," Luna scoffed a bit, "You think now that my creature is gone, I'll just give up?" her aura soon returned as she glared at him, "You poor fool…" "Oi oi, you know that might be why no one liked you?" Den-O spoke, making her frown further, "I heard only a bit of it, but I'm guessing the past you was unliked. Well if you act so closed off, of course no one will." he said getting her attention. "I'm a monster from the future controlling a weak willed teenager making a time traveling superhero and hello even I freakin' know that!" he called out. "So I may not like you, or these girls, but Ryotaro does, and he sure doesn't want to fight you either. Something about you just being lonely. Personally I'd rather fight." "...Fine…" Luna scowled a bit as she tapped the air, causing it to ripple before she put her hand in it, "If you want to fight.." she soon pulled her hand back out, pulling out a midnight blue and black, moon themed scythe in the process, "Then I'll be your opponent for the time being." "Heh...okay come at my girly." Den-O offered as he blocked a swing from her scythe with his sword he then grabbed the shaft of the weapon and held her in place,"Heh..how do you like…" he was soon interrupted when Luna swung off the pole of her weapon and delivered a kick to Den-O's head, sending him stumbling back as he released her scythe, "..well played." he grumbled as he slashed at her only for his body to suddenly lock up. "Oi…?" he blinked as his body refused to move. "Ryotaro...stop...let me move…" he complained. The next thing Den-O knew, he was slashed again and again until the last one left a streak of energy that send Den-O stumbling back as the red armor and peach themed mask broke leaving Den-O in Plat Form and stumbling to the floor. Momotaros found himself landing inside of DenLiner dazed and with lumps on his head. Den-O stood back up a smoking slash still on his chest armor. He held his arm that got slashed at earlier. Den-O then stumbled as he fell to his knees this time. "Why…?" Den-O asked Luna, "Why do you need to take revenge...this is a new life...a new chance for you to start over." "...You don't understand," Luna frowned, holding her scythe over her shoulder "I don't understand…" Den-O admitted. "I don't understand any of the things happening to me, or Twilight...it's just so much to take in. But I don't care about if I can't understand...cause I might never understand...but I can at least help people that can accept me as a friend. I don't want to fight you…" he said again. "I do know that you're not a bad person...I don't know why but I know." he said as he tossed the sword that still remained away. "...No you don't.." Luna growled a few tears of anger dripping down her face, "You will never know the pain I suffered!" "No...I do know what it's like to suffer pain." Den-O replied. "All my life I've been afraid of getting close to others, that my luck would scare them...or I'd lose them like I did my parents...or Sakurai-san…" he explained. "...What about being labeled as a monster?" "Huh?" "Ever since my birth, I've been labeled a monster...I've had no one…I've only felt pain….So don't question me on what pain truly is!" Luna snapped, the tears streaming down her face. "..." Den-O said nothing as he just stood there. He knew he could say nothing at the moment, but he could feel the emotions from Luna. Ryotaro felt that right now all he could do was just stand there and let her vent all this out. "...Forget letting them live.." Luna growled as she flew into the aura, her magic aura flaring off her, "I'll destroy them and gather their Spiritual energy from their corpses!" "Yamero…" Den-O was able to speak. "If you do this, then that pain won't go away...it will only get worse…" he raised his hand to the belt before he pulled it off letting the armor fall away in shards leaving Ryotaro whose clothes were cut or burned, and bruises all over his body. "I can't understand your pain...what you've been through...but I know that this won't change anything...that pain will stay with you…" he added. "Shut up!" Luna roared, the tears still falling as she raised her hands, causing a dark energy orb to form above her, "I will not have you lecture me! i will have my revenge! Now die!" she roared as she tossed the orb down at Ryotaro, Twilight, and the still unconscious Pinkie. However, before the attack could hit, a bright flash of light appeared before the three before a barrier blocked the attack, dispersing it. "Eh?" everyone blinked seeing this. "I apologize for coming so late, Twilight," a voice spoke from the light as it faded, revealing a familiar figure. "P..Princess Celestia!" Twilight gasped as the Alicorn stood before the three. By this point, Ryotaro's body was unable to stay up as he fell to the ground. "...Celestia," Luna scowled as she glared at the alicorn, "Finally we meet...but why do you appear in your old form?" "Because you say your problems with me come from before; then let us face them as we were before!" Celestia declared as she flew up towards Luna, who braced herself before the two disappeared. --- -In the Astral plane- "...This...is how I looked before?" Luna asked as she looked at herself, she was surprised to see she herself had turned into an Alicorn just like Celestia, she was a dark blue with her mane and tail sparkling like the night sky, and silver armor like that of Celestia's. "Indeed," Celestia nodded, "..Now that its just us..tell me. Who poisoned your mind with those lies?" "You are the one who lies!" Luna countered, "Or is it not true that you imprisoned me for a thousand years on the moon of Equestria?" "Luna…" Celestia whispered as she smiled sadly at her, "What I remember was the wonderful times when we lived together..perhaps they did not tell you about that?" "Shut up!" Luna cried as tears began to escape her eyes, even now she refused to listen to anything that she did not wish to listen to. "..You're breaking my heart with all your hatred, and what I must do,"Celestia said sadly, a tear escaping her eye, "I swear it's not what I wanted to do.." she then stared down Luna, "But i must stop you!" With that said, the two sisters battled it went back and forth as both used everything to their knowledge. Even in most battles between Light and Darkness things seemed equal. However it did not take long for it to become evident that Celestia lacked the power to contend with Luna. It was odd she tried with all her might but in the end is still was clear that Luna held the most power and as such the victory went to her. But this felt hollow as if this where just an empty victory. "...Wait…" Luna mumbled before her eyes widened when she spotted something wrong, staring at the empty spot on Celestia's flank, "..You don't have a Cutie Mark! You're not the reincarnation of Celestia, only a mere fragment of her!" "He...he...he...at least were as easily fooled as the original…" Celestia weakly laughed. "...Now I understand. You were a distraction while the original could carry off Twilight and her two friends!" Luna gasped in realization before glaring at Celestia, "But you will not avail..I know where they live." "You are missing the point here." Celestia said with a small, weak smile, "The original Celestia was not carrying off Twilight and her friends, but rather you…" she explained. "What?!" Luna gasped as she flew up, exiting out of the astral plane. --- "*gasp*!" Luna gasped as she shot up, back in her human body, "This...this can't be happening…" she said as she looked around, she was not in the city where she had found Twilight, Ryotaro and Pinkie, but rather on a tropical but deserted island on the complete other side of the world, "...I HATE YOU CELESTIA!-!-!-!" --- Back with Twilight and Ryotaro, the two, plus Pinkie had been brought aboard the DenLiner as it raced through the desert expanse of the Sands of Time. "Celeste, what did you do?" Twilight asked from the dining car of DenLiner as both Ryotaro and Pinkie where seated on two seats laying down. Ryotaro being bandaged for the injuries he sustained. "Do not worry, Twilight. Luna will not return to bother you or your friends," Celeste replied, "I put a blocking spell on her to prevent her from entering the city for a year. but..in exchange, I can't' go near the city, nor can I go near Luna." Twilight was somewhat relieved about that news but she found no better time at the moment to ask what was on her mind for a while. "Celeste, why did you pick me for this? Why did Ryotaro get picked for this?" she asked as she looked at the wounded Ryotaro. "...I did not pick you," Celeste sighed sadly, "Believe me, Twilight. I felt terrible when I found out you were an Element of harmony...if at least, Discord will appear five years later. When you were older, I won't feel this bad.." "Discord?" Twilight asked. "That is the name of the beast that will threaten the world during the December eclipse," she explained, "I discovered that year the eclipse along with a comet which passes on the same day will weaken Discord's prison allowing his aura to enter this world." she explained as she sat down at a table. "Pft...so not only is my kind invading this world's time, but because of you girls, some beast of destruction is coming as well," Momotaros complained, sitting in the seat behind Celeste. "You don't understand, Momotaros. If his aura is let loose, all people, animals, and even the non human inhabitants of this world that absorb his essence will change into beings whose only desire is to cause chaos." she explained as Twilight looked at Momotaros after that. "Wait, does that mean the Imagin...are from a time line where something like that has happened?" she asked looking at Momotaros. "Hell if I know…" Momotaros shrugged. "..Listen. My intention was to reunite the others without them having to transform until the day of Discord's apparition. At that time, they would have used their combined power to create a barrier that would stop his aura from entering the world until the eclipse passed, and the fissure in Discord's prison disappeared," Celeste further explained before sighing, "But..Luna's interference has changed everything. Now you need to protect the city from what is coming before that beast arrives." "..Wh...what things are coming?" Twilight asked as she looked over at Ryotaro, "And..how does Ryotaro play into all this?" "The most I can explain about that is that the Imagin are a surprise to all of this, and only someone like Ryotaro can fight them." she explained. "But I will explain it later when the time is right, but for now you shouldn't worry too much, you have companions like Pinkie and Ryotaro to help you." she smiled before looking at Momotaros. "And lets not forget Momotaros as well," she smiled as the Imagin huffed and turned away in his seat, "..When your friend Pinkie awakes, Twilight..give her, her jewel, and explain to her what's going on." she ordered. "For the moment the spell pretty much makes it I can never step off this DenLiner ever again, since it exists outside of time and space it works for the best." she smiled. "This way the spell will continue to work on Luna… remember to take care of Spike, and keep an eye on Ryotaro. You never know when he'll find himself a new Imagin." "..R..right," Twilight nodded. "Hmph...I would have won today…" Momotaros grumbled as he sipped another cup of coffee. '...The ability to save everyone...it's thanks to Celeste, Ryotaro, and Momotaros I'm still alive...but, what things are coming here exactly?' Twilight thought as she her a slight snore, making her turn to see Pinkie resting in her seat, '...Well, at least i'll have her to help me out, along with Ryotaro and Momotaros of course..' she thought as she looked to the resting Ryotaro and Momotaros who was still pouting in his seat. --- The next day, Twilight, along with a recovered Ryotaro and Pinkie went somewhere out of the way to talk. In this case a lake somewhere in the woods. The three where all seated near the lake to talk. "And after all that's happened Pinkie, now you're a girl with special abilities, and you need to use them to help save this world and our city," Twilight finished explaining, the violet haired girl wearing a blue and white striped sleeveless shirt and black skirt. "Hmm...ok, Twilight," Pinkie replied, the pinkette wearing a pink and white tee and dark grey shorts as she looked at the balloon shaped jewel Twilight gave her. "You don't believe me, do you?" Twilight asked, thinking maybe Pinkie was just humoring her. "Of course I believe you, Twilight. You and Ryotaro are my friends," Pinkie smiled as she looked at the jewel still, "Well then..how do I transform with this..Element of Harmony thing?" "Yeah...but it's not that easy, I was able to transform because you were in trouble." Twilight sighed as she leaned back. "That's still very impressive, Twilight." Ryotaro said as he was wearing only red shirt and black shorts. "..Thank you," Twilight smiled a bit, "..Still, it wasn't ea-" "Hey Twilight, Ryotaro! I'm transforming!" "Wait what?!" the two gawked, looking at Pinkie. Her forehead glowed as the jewel imprinted itself on her while what looked like three balloons(two blue and one yellow) appeared on her thigh. The next thing to form was a headband not unlike the one Twilight had the other night, only it had a blue balloon like jewel with silver accents on the front before going down the sides made up of a silver circle then a blue water drop like shape. It then went to two ear covers like headphones that where silver and curled up with blue spheres in the center. The center of the headband had a pink pony head with a mane as poofy as Pinkie's, and blue eyes. A pair of bracer like gauntlets appear on her wrist next, the bracers colored a put silver-white while a blue jewel rested on top of them. "Wh...wha...b..but..how...how did you…?" Twilight gawked. "I just wanted to! Hahaha!" Pinkie laughed as she spun around as water from the lake lifted up and spun around her, this made Ryotaro stumble back as the water almost touched him. "Sugoi…" he blinked in awe and shock. "Ooh~ I can control water! Nice!" Pinkie beamed as she spun in place, signing a bit as the water surrounded her before it froze around her, "Brr~! C-cool! I c-c-c-can also freeze it!" "B...B..But how?" Twilight gawked still. "Pinkie, are you okay?" Ryotaro asked worried she was stuck in a block of ice. "C...crystal…" Pinkie shivered before her ice prison changed back into water, "See?" "Ah…" he sighed in relief, "That's good. I was worried you might not have been able to control it." he said before a red light covered him, his shorts developing a fire print pattern before his hair spiked back. "Oi, Ryotaro! What the hell!? You go somewhere fun and leave me behind on that boring ass DenLiner?! You know Twilight's sister tried to bore me to death with a history lesson!?" M-Ryotaro shouted. "..." Pinkie blinked as she appeared in front of M-Ryotaro, startling him a bit, "...Wait..you must be that Imagin thingie Twilight and Ryotaro told me about! Momotaro, right?!" "Wrong! It's MomotaroS! There's an 'S' at the end...wait a minute...AH! I accepted it as my name...I've failed my own pride!" M-Ryoutaro cried, Twilight walked up to him before smacking his head, sending Momotaro's in his sand form flying out of Ryotaro, "Oi! What was that for, you Mahou-onna!?" "Cause I'd like it if we had you and Ryotaro separate while explaining this part." she replied as Ryotaro held the back of his head. "Ite…" he cried rubbing the back of his head. "..Oops. Eheh..sorry about that, Ryotaro," Twilight chuckled sheepishly, rubbing the back of her head a little. "It's okay." Ryotaro said, standing back u,. "All right. This is my partner Momotaros." he motioned to the pile of sand on the ground. "He's a little rough but he's a good guy." he smiled. "Plus I couldn't fight as Den-O without him." he added. "Den-O?" Pinkie repeated as she sat down on a chair made of ice. "Hai...see I can't fight very well...if at all." Ryotaro admitted. "But, Momotaros when he posses me can, so thats how we can fight when we transform into Den-O." he explained as he pulled the belt and pass out. "According to Celeste-san, I put this on and it can turn my will power into an armor for me to fight in. and this pass is key to it." he explained. "Ooh~! Like a superhero?!" Pinkie asked as she looked at him with stars in her eyes. "Hai...but my will isn't very strong…" he admitted, "But it's okay I have Momotaros to fight with me." he smiled to the Imagin as he turned away. "We also have DenLiner to help with some of the bigger monsters." "..A train that fights giant monsters...that's awesome!" "It also exists outside time and space, so it can go anywhere in the world, and any time the driver wants." Momotaros added, "That's what the Mahou-onna's big sister said. But after that, it just turned to blah-blah-blah…" "Wait...a time traveling train…?" Pinkie asked. "Yup. And Ryotaro has the keys to it as well," Momotaros pointed at Ryotaro. "...Ryotaro, can I get so I can see what life in 2000 was like?" Pinkie asked, "I heard things got a bit hectic back then." "Ano...well...Celeste-san said that we could go back in time if it's an emergency...or such…" Ryotaro explained, trying to not ruin Pinkie's excitement. "Oh...I see…" Pinkie noted. "Sorry, I guess since this is all new to me, I'm not sure if I can just freely take people back in time like that is all." Ryotaro explained. "He means that he doesn't want to take someone like you back in time cause you might end up doing something stupid." Momotaros scoffed. "..Well that was kinda mean to say, Momo," Pinkie frowned a bit, her cheeks puffed up a bit. "M...MOMO?! It's Momotaros! If I'm going to have a dumb name, use it right, you damn Mizu-Onna!" "No. I like calling you Momo. It's a cute nickname." "I'm not cute, I'm badass! I saved your and that Mahou-Onna's lives last night from an Imagin, Gigandeath, and then that Emo-Onna!" he shouted, "So show the hero some respect!" "Hmm...well..you might be a bit cool.." "Thank y-" "But you're far from a badass in my opinion," Pinkie finished, causing Momotaros to face fault. "Mah mah...let's not get carried away." Ryotaro weakly asked of the two. "We're friends right?" he asked as Momotaro's huffed and turned away. "Eeyup. Definitely friends!*Squee!*" Pinkie smiled. "What the…?" Momotaros blinked as he looked around, "Who the hell brought a squeaky toy?" "Eh?" Twilight and Ryotaro blinked at that. "Oh well. Time travel was a bust...but we're all hero's now. Oh! Let's go get into some crazy adventures!" Pinkie beamed as she wrapped her arms around both Ryotaro and Twilight. She then dragged the two off. Momotaros turned into a ball of light before he flew back into Ryotaro. But as the group walked off, no one noticed what looked to be a second sphere of light fly into Ryotaro's back. --- Back at the island Luna was on, night had fallen on the island. "Celestia...I promise I will find you and defeat you." Luna's voice said as she walked out from the woods, having changed out of the school uniform and into a black hooded long coat that covered her entire body but it's lower portions fluttered with the nights wind. "And don't think you're bearers and your little hero are safe from me. That spell merely prevents me from entering, it doesn't prevent me sending others to do my work for me." "..I finally found you, princess," a voice spoke, causing Luna to look over her shoulder to see a figure walk out of the woods, he was completely shadowed as he walked forward. "You...What are you doing here? Perhaps your mistress did not understand when I said I did not want to see her again." Luna stated as she glared at him. "Now now, don't be that way. You forget my mistress took care of you in your youth." the man countered as he walked forward, "She showed you utmost kindness taking in such a child." "She was only using me!" Luna barked as she turned around to glare at him further. "Hmph…" a third voice scoffed from the woods as a figure walked in. "I forget how petty humans can act." this voice said as the figure was flanked by two Imagin like beings, "You know you disappointed me this day, Hime-chan." he smirked slightly at Luna. "I gave you one of my friends hoping it help you...but instead you lost him to Den-O." "..I was not prepared for his intrusion, Kai," Luna frowned. The man then walked out into the moonlight, revealing a man with wild black hair, and was dressed in a black pancho over his body. One of his eyes was shadowed but was glowing from the darkness covering it. "I warned you that this time there was a wild card in all these events." Kai smirked wickedly. "I told you of how things would play out...and what happens to you? you still ended up in failure." he said as the Imagin turned to sand before they flew inside of him. "Grr…" Luna growled as she held her hand out to Kai and the figure, an orb of energy forming in it, "I suggest you leave, or else your mistress will be short two 'pets'." "Heh...I don't mind...everyone in this time is just a plaything for me." Kai smirked. "But I'll leave, I'm bored with this island, no humans for me to see tear each other apart." he then walked past the cloaked figure. "Oh are you going to tell her about that?" he asked him. "Ah so you are, no point fooling the time traveler here." "Hmm?" Luna raised a brow, the energy ball still in her hand as she stared at the cloaked figure, "What is he talking about? Tell me what?" "Your current power is not even half your true strength." the cloaked figure said making Kai smirk. "Do you know anything about the Legend of the Red Moon? Or more specifically the legend of…" "Nightmare Moon?" Kai finished with a grin. "..Nightmare….Moon?" Luna repeated as a dark green glow emitted from the cloaked figure, showing his face, his hair that was a mix of black with green streaks and his eyes that where an ethereal green and slitted. "We have much to discuss..Luna," the green eyed man smiled darkly, the object around his neck glowing a dark green. --- Twilight: Find the other elements of Harmony...easier said then done. Pinkie: Eeyup..as long as no Imagin interfere of course. Momotaros: Gah! You just jynxed it, you mizu-onna! Ryotaro(?): Hm...what an interesting development, and what a beautiful girl as well. Pinkie: Hey Twilight, one of the jewels is glowing when Rarity passed us. Twilight: Wait...could that mean? Stop 2: The Suave Turtle, and a Generous beauty Den-O: Omae, boku ni tsuraretemiru?
