//------------------------------// // Return and Arrival // Story: Crazy chaos future // by Kamen rider yokai //------------------------------// It was a slightly calm day for a young teen male of 15 with purple hair and blue eyes wearing a black jacket over a black shirt and black jeans. His black combat boots tapped the floor as he checked his watch. "Where is he? he said he had the prop ready for the skit today" grumbled the teen a expression of irritation on his face. This teen was yume. A kamen rider fan and slight tokusatsu in general. He felt something hit his leg and looked down to see a card that looked like it had circuit lines all over. It was mainly dark blue with the lines being black. There was also a rubber band across holding more cards together which would explain why he felt it. Picking it up he realized it was some kind of deck. Looking around yume didn't see anyone that seemed to have lost something so now he was wondering where the deck came from. He heard a voice call out to him and turned subconsciously placing the deck in his pocket as he did so. It was his friend he was waiting on. That dark blue hair was not hard to spot. "Soul your late!" Yume said very cross as checking his watch they missed the time for their skit and thus it was canceled. "Sorry Yume but someone stole the prop as I was making my way over. They threw it into the trash after I searched five blocks. It then took me a while to get my sense of direction back to make it here. It's just the buckle though they took the belt it was attached to" said soul panting as he ran up. Soul besides having blue hair had orange eyes and was dressed in a red coat over a black shirt and blue jeans. On his shoulder was his ever present pet kitten swift sky due to the coloration making the small feline resemble the sky. Blue and white. For as long as the two knew the kitten it never grew and seemed to stay young. Yume saw the kitten with soul since the two were 3 years old and the kitten by now was 13 years old and had never changed. It was a mystery the two never was able to solve. There was a running theory that the kitten was somehow immortal by everyone that saw the cat. Didn't stop it from become the shool mascot which allowed soul to bring it to school with him. The principal had said it was to cute not to make the mascot. But even she was baffled by the kitten's eternal state. The prop soul mentioned was a carefully crafted replica of the Ganbaride driver from the ganbarizing game. Soul handed it over to yume with a wince as his friend gave him a glare. "Not much use now because we missed our slot now we can't compete in the skit event in there" yume informed him pointing at the building behind him. With that yume placed the prop into his jacket and started to walk off. "Do me a favor and don't bother me for a bit I'm going to go vent" yume said his tone showing both his disappointment and anger which left soul standing there feeling like he let his friend down. 《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》《》 Meanwhile in another world entirely a purple dragon with green spines sat looking over the sky while a lavender winged and horned pony with a dual colored mane and tail approached. "It's been a long time since we last met Spike, you have grown so much" said the alicorn as her race was called. "100 years is a long time, but you havent changed a bit, still as beautiful as always" said Spike with a small chuckle. "Can't say the same for Ponyvile. Everything has changed so much since you left. How has the life of a stray dragon been treating you anyway" asked Twilight as they looked over the hill to watch the sunset. "It's ... tiring. Sometimes I really wish I could just settle in one place and call it home" said Spike a claw under his chin as he closed his eyes. "Really? then why not come back to Ponyvile?" Asked Twilight. "It's dangerous for my duaghter to live in pony society" huffed Spike moving to sit on his hind legs as he crossed his arms and looked to the side. "Duaghter? Your child with Rarity right?" Asked Twilight looking at her former assistant. "Yes the powerful dragon - unicorn hybrid" confirmed Spike. "Then you should stop being a stray now" said Twilight with a serious look on her face hoof raised to point at the now shocked dragon. "B-but" sputtered Spike. "Your duaghter deserves better then a life on the run like some petty criminal Spike! She should have a home to stay. School to study. Friends to play with! Vagrant life isn't good for her!" Scolded Twilight. "Still I'm afraid nopony will accept her and Celestia might even try to imprison her on the moon, as she might be a threat" said Spike a serious look on his face. "Everypony would accept her just as they accepted a baby dragon. And you can be sure I would protect her from other dangers" said Twilight starting to tear up. She then started to sob on this next sentence. "Please spike. Come back to Ponyvile. It's been so lonely living in the Crystal Castle. Please.. if not for me. Do it for your duaghter.. or for Rarity.. her duaghter deserves better then this" "Ugh okay, okay! I'll ask her if she wants to stay jeez" groaned Spike as he can't stand the sight of his old caretaker crying. "You mean it? That's great! Welcome back to Ponyvile my number 1 assistant" cheered Twilight. "Where is your duaghter anyway?" "She must be at Rarity's grave by now I guess" Spike replied. It was then the hill was revealed to over look a graveyard full of Graves for what must be ten miles long. The screen lowered to a grave where a greenish white unicorn can be seen with her mane style being like a mix of spikes and curls. Perched on her nose was a pair or red framed glasses. In her mouth was a bouquet of flowers. She laid them at the grave that read Rarity belle. Her green eyes looked up and turned her head to look back at a voice. She spotted a black unicorn with a wavy purple mane with two white streaks in it. "It feels strange seeing my own grave like this" mused the unicorn which we now know is Rarity. "Mom how can you have a grave if your still alive?" Asked the younger unicorn. "Oh make no mistake I did die once before" corrected Rarity. "Then how did you come back from the dead?" Asked her daughter. "Well.. if you wish to know we need a flashback to the past. The very day I died" started Rarity her mind going back in time to that day. (100 years ago 70 years after season 4 of mlp friendship is magic) A old mare that once was a white unicorn with a purple curled mane looked around confused being in a dark void. "W-where am i?" she asked. "Am I really dead? Is this where souls go after death?" She shivered. "Indeed you are dead" a voice similar to her own said spooking her as she turned around to face the source as her once transformed state Nightmare Rarity. "But no. This is neither hevean nor hell. It's just part of my little world inside your soul" informed her darker self. "Nightmare! But we defeated you!" Said rarity shocked. "Defeated me? No no no darling. You never 'defeated me'. you've merely regained control over your body. I've been always a part of your soul. I have seen every event from your life. Everything you did with that handsome dragon" informed nightmare Rarity making her light side blush in shock and embarassment. "Everything" "Stop blabbering and just tell me what you want with a dead pony like me" said Rarity still blushing. "I just want to give you my nightmare power so you can live again" her darker half replied. "You WHAT!" Asked Rarity shocked at what she just heard. "Under one condition" stated her nightmare self. (Present time) "And that was how your mother was revived" said Rarity. "Wait. What was that condition nightmare made" asked her duaghter. "Im sorry darling but that's a secret between me and her" said Rarity. "Hmpf! That's no fun!" Said the dragon unicorn hybrid moving off on a huff. "Oh! Life's not always fun darling" Rarity informed before continuing quietly to herself. "Yeah life is not fun.. my little nightmare" (The past) "Your first duaghter I want to become her" said nightmare Rarity shocking her original self. "What but how" said Rarity wide eyed. "It's not hard just mate with your dragon while in heat" said nightmare in a slight purr. "That's not what I meant!" Retorted Rarity still wide eyed but her blush returned. "You know. Seeing how happy your life was. How you shared it with your lover and friends. Made me a bit jealous. I.. I wish I could live like that too" she explained why she wanted to be like that but still wasn't a bit clear to rarity until her nightmare self got emotional. "Please. Give birth to me! I want to have my own body, my own life, my own destiny that I don't have to steal from another pony!" She sobbed. "Please stop your crying" Rarity said brushing her hoof over night mare's face to dry the tears. "It'll be alright. It's not like your sins can't be forgiven. Yes I will be your mother my little nightmare" said Rarity. "M-mom" said nightmare. "Happy re-birthday my first daughter" said Rarity as she started to return to her body. Already she can feel her body becoming alive and becoming younger and changing to her old nightmare state. But then she realized she must have already been buried as she found herself in a coffin! (Above ground) Twilight sighed and looked at Spike who layer before the headstone crying. "Spike it's really cold out here. You should head home. Even if you stay here forever. It won't change the fact Rarity is gone" said Twilight. "B-but.. I cant.. it hurts to much" said Spike when he felt something and much to his & Twilight's shock the grave was forced open from the inside sending the coffin lid and himself flying with a bang. "Oh. Air! My sweet, sweet air! Please Never leave me again! I nearly died a second time because of you!" said Rarity panting in her future self's look. "H - how dare you use my friends body like that nightmare ra-" said Twilight glaring at the pony before her only to be cut off as the nightmare pony sprang towards Spike. "Spikey-wikey!" She called as she then nuzzle the dragon. "R - rarity is that really you!" Asked Spike blushing. "The one and only" she replied shocking Twilight. "But.. how?! How have you become a nightmare pony?!" Asked Twilight confused. "Nightmare gave me her power so that I could be brought back to life. In exchange, she asked me to give birth to her so that she can have her own body" explained Rarity. "That's really dangerous you know!" Said Twilight shocked. "Yes. It IS dangerous. That's why I must leave Ponyvile" said Rarity. "Will you come with me?" She asked Spike. "With you? Anywhere. Rarity" said Spike with a soft smile. "Do you really have to do this?" Asked Twilight. "It's the best I can do. For me, my daughter, for Everypony. Twilight" said Rarity. "Should I tell Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie and Sweetie belle your alive" asked Twilight. "Please let them think I'm dead. I don't wish to upset them further" said Rarity. "Good bye. Twilight. I hope we'll meet you again someday" said Rarity. (Earth: Yume's home) Yume sighed after he finished his martial arts routine. He started it up when he became interested in kamen rider and kept it up still as a way to vent out his emotions. On the desk in his room was the prop he asked soul to make for him and the deck of strange cards he picked up now laid out arround each other. To his surprise only two other cards resembled the first only in emerald and silver and black and red color scheme wise. Three cards look to be equipment such as a sword, some kind of hover bike and a wing pack. The last three cards were edged in gold and held a symbol that was made out of circuitry lines making it look like a X And some kind of face. Yume was curious about these cards and was also giving the prop a suspicious look. After he had calmed down he noted the device didn't feel like plastic or clay and had a considerable weight to it. Picking it up Yume placed it near his waist and jumped a bit when a silver belt materialized with a high tech deck case forming on his right hip. That clinched it something was definitely up. Picking up the cards Yume slid them into the deck case causing a hum sound for each card. Sliding his hand over his face he sat on his bed. "I must have the worst luck today. Someone has had actually constructed a show accurate driver. Who ever built it must have realized that if it got into the wrong hands it was not going to be a nice sight. They must have stolen the prop to use as a decoy and hid the real thing to keep it safe. And these cards that I found it can't be coincidence I found them. I have a feeling my life is going to be strange from today onwards" said Yume with a sigh looking over the driver. "Now that I think about it this thing has slight differences from the ganbarizing game version. It looks like it has a card tray behind the screen that can pop up" he noted. Pulling out the dark blue circuit card he pressed the middle button on the driver making the tray pop out as he thought. Placing it in Yume too a deep breath feeling curious if this will work. "Henshin" he said then pressed the card tray back into the driver. Cyber! Sync up! Was heard before space around him warped and with a startled yelp Yume vanished. (Equestria present) "Live in Ponyvile?!?!" Asked Rarity wide eyed. "But it's to dangerous" she protested. "By my title as princess of friendship I promise, I'll protect you from all harm. Your under my protection now" said Twilight. "Let's make this place home again. Rarity you could open a store and become a fashion designer again!" Said Spike. "Home? That means I can have my own room, right? Wow I vote yes!" Said Sparity excited. "Well if you both really want it.. alright we'll try settling down here" said Rarity. "It's to dark to do anything right now. Though You should spend the night in my castle. We can talk about your house and store later" said twilight seeing the moon had risen. "We're going to sleep in the Princess' castle? Wow! This is so awesome!" Said Sparity. "Did you know I used to work there" smirked Spike as they started walking. "Really? Wow dad your great!" Said Sparity. "She really doesn't remember a thing about being Nightmare?" Asked Twilight in a whisper. "Not a thing which is good. I don't want a daughter with the mind of a old mare" said Rarity in the same volume as Twilight. The group stopped though when they stumbled onto a prone figure on the ground out cold. Spike and Twilight recognized it as a human. But it wasn't just any human. It was Yume. The two shared a uneasy look and we're worried. "Rarity help me carry him inside" said Twilight turning to her friend. "Welcome to my castle make yourself at home" said twilight as they got to the castle and Spike quickly took Sparity to a guest room before moving to the other one to look over the young human that was in their world. "Twilight what is going on! I thought humans became ponies when they enter equestria" asked Spike a serious look on his face. "That's just it Spike he didn't come through the mirror portal. Nor any of the rifts that have been opening lately. It's like he just appeared out of no where! I'm afraid his presence means the barriers between world's is getting even more weak that he just slipped right in without the magic effecting him" said Twilight. "That is worrisome" said Spike. "But thing is I just checked our barrier. After he slipped through it returned to its previous state before he slipped through. I don't like this Spike" said Twilight. "Darling we can work this out later let's just give this boy some rest and time to recover" said Rarity. "Okay but after I give a tour of how much Ponyvile changed" said Twilight. (End chapter)
