Ravenous Filly, Royal Combo and a Reunion
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic -X- Kamen Rider OOO - Subarashii Harmony!!
Chapter 2: A Ravenous Filly, a Royal Combo, and a Reunion
"Amazing!" Eiji exclaimed as he watched Twilight levitate few books off the top shelves, "That's incredible, can everyone in this world do that?"
Twilight giggled, blushing at his praise. "It's really not that special. The levitation spell is one of the most rudimentary magic skills. All unicorns can use it."
"Aww, she's just being modest," Spike said as he came upstairs with a tray of food, "Twilight is the best in all of Equestria when it comes to magic, except for the Princess of course. She can pull off all kinds of amazing tricks."
"That's enough Spike," Twilight admonished softly as she set the books on her bed, "It really isn't a big deal. I've studied magic ever since I was a little filly. I just have a gift for it," She snuck a quick glance at her cutie mark and smiled, "I'm certainly not the best though."
Spike just rolled his eyes at her. "Sure, whatever you say," He chuckled and gave Eiji's arm a little nudge, "But if you ever want a swanky mustache, she can help you out."
"Haha, I'll keep that in mind," Eiji laughed as he picked out an apple. As he took a bite his face suddenly lit up. "Mmm! Wow, I don't think I've ever had an apple this good! Even the food here is incredible!"
Twilight had to cover her mouth to keep from laughing as he devoured the fruit, "I'll be sure to tell Applejack you said so. Just try to take it slow okay? You're still recovering after all."
Eiji blushed a little but smiled all the same. "Right. But really you don't have to worry about me. I'm already feeling much better."
"Be that as it may..." Twilight began in a firm motherly tone, only to be cut off as someone downstairs started pounding on the door. "Hold that thought, I'll be right back."
Twilight trotted downstairs as the knocking became more and more frantic.
*knock-knock-knock-knock*
"Okay, okay I'm coming." She muttered as she pulled the door open with her magic, revealing a rather frantic looking Applejack flanked by Apple Bloom and Scootaloo. "Applejack? What are you-"
"Sorry Twi, ain't got time fer pleasantries," Applejack interrupted, "Ah need yer help lookin' fer Sweetie Belle. The girls said they ran into some kinda monster at their clubhouse."
Twilight gasped in shock and turned to the two fillies. "Oh my gosh that's terrible. Are you girls okay? Did it-"
"AHHHH!!" Scootaloo suddenly screamed and pointed at something in the library as she and AppleBloom darted behind Applejack. "T-There's another one! Look out Twilight it's right behind you!"
"Huh?" Twilight looked behind her and saw Eiji standing on the stairs looking a little sheepish. Rolling her eyes, she turned back and smiled at the two fillies, "It's alright girls, don't be afraid. Eiji isn't a monster. Granted, he may look a little strange to us but I promise you he isn't dangerous."
Scootaloo, still trembling, glared at the human suspiciously. "Y-Yeah well something that looked a lot like him attacked us and did something weird to Sweetie Belle."
Twilight raised an eyebrow at this. "That's impossible. Eiji came here from another world. He's literally the only one of his kind in Equestria. You must be mistaken."
"B-But it's true Twilight," Applebloom argued as she peeked around Applejack's flank, "H-he didn't look just like him but he walked on two legs, was all pink, an' was wearin' clothes like him too!"
"Can you remember anything else?" Eiji asked gently as he descended the stairs, moving slowly so he wouldn't scare the two fillies, "If another human was brought here they might have been just as scared as you were." He blushed and chuckled a bit, scratching his head. "I-I know I was."
Scootaloo scoffed at this. "He sure didn't seem scared. He just waltzed right into our clubhouse and threw some kinda weird coin into Sweetie's head."
Eiji's eyes suddenly went wide but Twilight just tilted her head in confusion. "You mean he threw a bit at her? That doesn't sound so-"
"No, yer not listenin'!" Applebloom cried, "He took out a big, weird coin, threw it at us and it went inside Sweetie Belle's head. Then these weird bandages appeared all over her and she ran off towards-"
"What did he look like!?" Eiji asked franticly, "Did he have short black hair and glasses?"
"Yeah he did!" Scootaloo shouted. "See? I knew he was in cahoots with him!"
"N-No it's...it can't be," Eiji shook his head, looking like he was going to be sick. "He's...I saw him..."
Twilight looked up at Eiji, noticing how frightened he looked. "Eiji? What's wro-"
"Applejack! We found her!" Everyone turned as a light blue unicorn ran up to the library, "Sweetie Belle is at Sugarcube Corner but something's really wrong with her! She's tearing the place apart and eating everything she can get her hooves on! Whenever somepony tries to stop her she just snarls at them and-AHH!"
The unicorn cried out as Eiji rushed out of the library and ran past her, heading the direction she came from.
"Eiji wait! Come back!" Twilight cried as she and Spike chased after him.
"W-What was...A-Applejack? What in-"
"Sorry Lyra. I'll explain later!" Applejack apologized before hurrying after him as well with Scootaloo and Applebloom right behind her, leaving the unicorn standing there wide-eyed.

*Crash*
"Ooh!" Ms. Cake cried as a dish smashed against the wall, barely missing her head. She and Carrot Cake huddled closer together, cradling their terrified foals in their hooves, as they watched the horror show before them.
Sweetie Belle, one of their favorite customers, was standing atop the counter messily shoveling cake into her mouth. Her mane and tail were disheveled, her body was covered in filthy grey bandages and, most worrying of all, there was an eerie yellow glow in her eyes. The walls were splattered with frosting and discarded plates littered the floor, the remains of dishes she'd already comsumed and she showed no signs of slowing down.
"More! Give me more!" Sweetie Belle demanded as she finished the cake, knocking he empty platter off the counter, "I want more!"
"Sweetie Belle, please listen to me!" Rarity pleaded, recieving only a glare from her little sister. She fliched at the unatural look her eyes had but continued, "This behavior is completely unacceptable! You can't just-Pinkie! Stop bringing her treats!"
Pinkie Pie ignored the command and set a tray of cupcakes up on the counter, which Sweetie Belle immediately began to devour. "But she keeps asking for more. The customers always right, right?"
"That isn't the point!" The unicorn bellowed, "Can't you see there's something wrong with her? I was trying to-Ugh, forget it!" She turned to the filly and gave her the sternest look she could muster. "Sweetie Bell, drop those cupcakes right now! I'm taking you to see Nurse Redheart."
"No!" Sweetie replied with a mouthful of pasty.
Rarity narrowed her eyes as her horn began to glow. "That wasn't a request young lady."
Sweetie Belle's body was suddenly shrouded by Rarity's pale blue magic as she tried to forcefully drag out of the building. The younger unicorn yelped and latched onto the counter, holding on with all her might.
"Come...on..." Rarity said through clenched teeth as she pulled her with her magic. "Don't be difficult! We're going right now!"
"I....said..." Sweetie Belle growled, her eyes suddenly filled with the yellow glow. "NO!"
Rarity was suddenly thrown back by the force of Sweetie's scream. The shockwave also sent Pinkie sent flying against a wall, knocked over the tables and chairs and shattered the front window of the shop, scattering the crowd of ponies that had gathered outside. As Rarity pulled herself up she gasped at the horrific sight before her. Sweetie Belle's glowing eyes were glaring right at her as a menacing black and yellow aura swirled around her.
"S-Sweetie Belle?" Rarity whimpered, struggling to her feet "W-What's happening to you? I-"
*Slam*
Rarity yelped as the door suddenly burst open behind her. She looked back and saw none other than Eiji standing in the door way with Twilight, Applejack, Spike and Sweetie Belle's friends behind him. All of them were out of breath and shocked at what they saw inside but Eiji appeared especially horrified. Sweetie looked up at him and the two stared at each other for several seconds. After composing himself, Eiji took a deep breath and slowly stepped closer to her.
"Please, listen to me. You have to stop right now before it's too late!" He said, a very slight note of panic in his voice. He paused for a second, clearly searching for the right words, before continuing. "You...There is a monster inside of you." Everypony within earshot gasped in shock but Eiji ignored them. "I know it's hard to believe but it's what's making you act like this. It's called a Yummy. It feeds on your desires and makes them go out of control. The more you let it control you the stronger it gets. You have to fight it before...before something terrible happens."
"Leave me alone!" Sweetie screamed, an otherworldly echo in her voice, "You're just like my sister! You think just because you're bigger than me you can tell me what to do!" She turned and looked spitefully at Rarity. "Well I'm not listening to you anymore! Why don't you just go...away..." Sweetie trailed off as her eyes fell on Rarity's saddle bag. It had been knocked off by the shockwave and it's contents spilled out onto the floor, inclucing a small bag filled with chocolate cookies. "Those...those are...When did you...?"
"T-These?" Rarity pointed at the cookies and smiled, remembering why she came to the shop in the first place, "I got them as a treat for you and your friends."
Sweetie Bellw's face softened, the glow in her eyes fading significanly. "But...But you said I couldn't have any."
Despite everything, Rarity couldn't help but chuckle. "Sweetie Belle, I said that earlier because you had just eaten breakfast and I didn't want you to end up with a tummy ache, that's all. After you went off to play with your friends I thought I'd surprise you when you came back for lunch."
"But...But..." Sweetie Bell trailed off into a whimper as she looked away and shrank down on the counter. The aura seemed to fade away as she came to her senses, "I-I'm sorry...I didn't mean..."
Everypony, plus Eiji and Spike, breathed a sigh of relief as Rarity walked up to her sister.
"It's alright Sweetie," She said gently, smiling at her. "Everything is going to be-"
"AHHHHH!!" Sweetie Bell suddenly screamed in pain as her eyes flashed yellow once again. She toppled off the counter and began thrashing around on the floor, screaming and sobbing at the top of her lungs, "AHHH! I-IT HURTS!! HELP!! PLEASE HELP ME!! IT HURTS SO MUCH!!"
Rarity and the others looked on helplessly as the filly curled into a little ball, trembling and shaking from the pain. Slowly she lifted her head and looked pleadingly towards her sister.
"H-Help....Help me..." She whimpered fearfully as hundreds of silver coins began appearing all over her body. Before anypony could react the coins swarmed around her and quickly enguled the terrified filly, leaving only her head exposed. "Help me! Please! Somepony help meeeee..."
Rarity seemed to wilt as Sweetie Belle was completely swallowed by the mass of coins. However, they continued to build up until the pile was as tall as Eiji. At that point they began to glow bright yellow, the strange swirling aura returning, as the coins seemed to meld together into a solid shape. In the span of only a few seconds Sweetie Belle was gone and a horrifying creature was standing in her place.
Like Eiji, it was bipeadal but the similarities ended there. It's top half and head resembled a monstorous leopard. It had yellow spotted fur, long arms ending with razor sharp claws and a mouth full of equally sharp fangs. It's bottom half, however, appeared to be reptilian. It's legs were covered with dark violet scales and it's feet had several vicous looking talons.
Snarling, the monster's eyes fell upon a trembling Rarity and it took a menacing step towards her. "You..." He spoke in a deep gutural voice. "Annoying! Insect!" It raised its arm to strike but Eiji suddenly threw himself at it, pushing it back against the counter.
"RUN!" Eiji screamed as he struggled to hold the thing at bay, "Get out of here! Hurry and get to safety!"
Snapping out of his shock, Carrot Cake helped his wife to her feet as they rushed outside with their children. Pinkie Pie was right behind them, pausing onto to grab Rarity. The poor unicorn seemed completely out of it but with Applejack's help Pinkie was able to get her outside just before Eiji came flying out of the front window.
The human tumbled across the ground, coming to a stop several feet away as the Yummy leapt out of the bakery and rushed for him. Eiji slowly rose to his feet as it approached him, not even flinching as it roared and pounced at him.
However, much to the Yummy's surprise, a bolt of violet energy slammed into it's chest, knocking it to the ground. Yowling in pain, the Yummy staggered back up to see what had attacked it.
Equally confused, Eiji looked around and was surprised to see Twilight had appeared beside him, her horn gleaming with magical energy as she glared at the beast.
"Give! Her! Back!" She demanded through gritted teeth before firing another blast at the Yummy. The second shot glanced off it's shoulder, leaving a small scorch mark on it's fur, "Nopony hurts my friends! Do you hear me!?"
Unimpressed, the Yummy began walking towards Twilight and Eiji again, flexing its claws and growling. Narrowing her eyes Twilight aimed her horn and unleashed another beam of magic. This time, however, the monster snarled and swiped at the blast, cancelling it out without even pausing. With a beastial chuckle it continued towards them, slowly picking up speed.
Twilight gasped in surprise and fired another shot at it, only to get the same result. Taking a few steps backwards she tried again and again, none of her blasts even slowing the monster down.
"It's no good!" Eiji cried as he tried to push her away, "Hurry and go! You can't stop it!"
Twilight ignored his pleas and stood her ground as the Yummy lunged at them. At the very last moment she summoned a forcefield around herself and Eiji, bouncing the Yummy off the wall of magical energy.
Awestruck, Eiji gazed at the dome surrounding them before looking back down at Twilight.
"I'm not going..." Twilight panted, wiping some sweat from her brow, "anywhere. There's no way I'm leaving you with that thing. I don't know how things work back in your world but here, friends never abandon each other."
"Twilight...You-"
*CRACK*
"GRAARRR!" With a savage roar the Yummy slammed its fist against the barrier, the impact creating several cracks. Twilight flinched but held her ground, pouring more magic into the shield to repair the cracks. Undaunted, the Yummy began to rain heavy blows onto the shield. Slowly but surely, Twilight's resolve began to fade. With each hit she felt her strength being leeched away as she expended more and more magic to maintain the barrier. Finally, the Yummy slammed both fists against it as hard as it could, finally shattering it.
Twilight dropped to ground in exhaustion, panting for air as the Yummy let out a roar of victory. Eiji quickly stepped in front of Twilight as the Yummy moved in for the kill but as it began to attack again, a rope was suddenly thrown over it's upper body. The hybrid looked down in confusion when a voice suddenly rang out;
"Yee-haw! Come on Big Mac! Heave-ho!"
"E'yup!" Big Macintosh replied as he and Applejack grabbed onto the other end and pulled as hard as they could. The sudden yank pulled the Yummy to the ground, allowing them to start dragging it away from Eiji and Twilight.
"Hes...a...big'un!" She said through her teeth as the Yummy struggled against them. Big Mac grunted a reply as the Yummy, managed to regain its footing and stand up. Snarling with rage it grabbed hold of the rope and began pulling against them. The Apple siblings' eyes went wide at how strong it was when it started to actually overpower them, slowly dragging them closer until..."Rainbow! Now!"
"Banzai!"
The Yummy looked at the sudden cry just as a rainbow colored streak came flying out of nowhere and slammed into its head. The impact knocked the Yummy off balance and the sudden slack on its end of the rope was all Applejack and Big Mac needed to lift it into the air and slam it against the ground.
Letting out a sigh of relief, Applejack spat the rope out of her mouth just as Rainbow Dash came in for a landing, "Whew, nice goin' there Rainbow. That varmint was a might stronger than he looked."
"No problem AJ," Rainbow replied with a smirk, "I couldn't let you hog all the glory."
Applejack returned the smirk but whatever come-back she had was cut off by the Yummy's growls. The three of them turned to see it getting back up to its feet, seemingly unfazed by the impact. She narrowed her eyes at it and grabbed the rope again. "Come on ya'll! Let's hit 'em again!"
Big Mac nodded and grabbed on as well as Rainbow took off again.
"On three! One! Two! Three-WHOA!" Applejack cried out in surprise as the rope went suddenly went slack. Just as she and Big Mac pulled the Yummy sliced the rope with its claws, sending the two earth ponies tumbling backwards into a building.
The Yummy ripped the lasso off of it and tossed it aside as it set its sights on the dazed farm ponies.
"Oh no you don't!" Rainbow Dash shouted as she came down from above and starting circling around it as fast as she could. A small rainbow colored tornado quickly formed around the Yummy. Inside it found itself being lifted into the air, the monster snarling and flailing its limbs as it tried to regain it's footing.
"You're not going anywhere! Let's see how you like my Buccaneer Bl-GAH!" Rainbow was cut off when one of the Yummy's thrashing limbs struck her wing and sent her tumbling to the ground.
With a thud, the Yummy dropped to the ground but it quickly jumped to its feet and let out a roar of frustration. Turning towards the downed pegasus, it let out a low snarl as trails of smoke leaked from its maw. It took a deep breath and, with a quick jerk of its head, launched a large fireball out of its mouth. Rainbow came to her senses just in time to see the projectile bearing down on her. However, just before impact she felt a pair of hooves grab onto her and pull her out of the way.
*KA-BOOM*
The fireball exploded when it hit the ground, leaving a massive black scorch mark where Rainbow Dash was just seconds before. Panting for air, Rainbow looked up and smiled at her savior. "Th-Thanks Fluttershy. I owe you one."
Fluttershy, also panting heavily, smiled at her friend. "It...it really wasn't...I-I just-"
"ENOUGH!" The Yummy bellowed, it's entire body shaking with rage. Taking another breath, it leaned its head back and began forming another, much large fireball. "YOU! DIE!"
"Stop!" Eiji cried as he tackled it from behind, breaking its aim and sending the fireball harmlessly into the air. The Yummy snarled and spun around to face Eiji, the human's fist smacking against its cheek as it did so, "Leave! Them! Alone!"
Eiji punctuated each word with one punch after another but the blows barely made the creature flinch. Undetered, Eiji aimed one last punch for its head but the Yummy caught his fist just before it hit.
Tossing the offending limb aside it backhanded Eiji across the face, knocking him to the ground. It then grabbed Eiji's shirt and pulled him back to his feet, driving it's fist into his stomach. The remaning ponies looked on in horror as the Yummy pummeled Eiji again and again, venting it's frustrations. When it was finally satisfied it tossed Eiji back down and pressed it's foot against his chest.
Groaning, Eiji lifted his arms and grabbed onto the Yummy's leg, trying desperatly to push it off of him. His efforts were in vain, however, as the monster leaned over him, pressing down even harder as it raised its claws for the kill.
Just as it struck a brilliant flash of light appeared right in front of it. Crying out in surprise, the Yummy stumbled backwards and covered it's eyes to shield them from the harsh light. After a second the light died down and it lowered it's arms...only to find a pair of magenta colored eyes glaring into its own.
"Begone." Celestia said, her voice cold and stern as she swiftly twirled around and kicked the Yummy, sending it sailing through the air and right into the statue of the Princess. Bouncing off the hard stone, the Yummy dropped to the ground with a heavy thud.
The princess allowed herself a little smirk before turning her attention to her subjects. She started by helping Eiji get back to his feet just as Twilight and her freinds ran up to join them. "Are you alright?"
Eiji gave her a slight nod but the beating had clearly taken its toll on him, despite his efforts to hide it. She then looked to the others and, seeing them all exhausted and sporting minor scrapes and burns, lowered her head and stepped towards the Yummy.
"Princess, we-"
"I'm so sorry I couldn't get here sooner," Celestia said solomnly, interrupting Twilight as her horn began to glow. She looked up again and glared at the fallen Yummy, focusing even more magic into her horn, "Everypony stand back. This creature shall be-"
"Wait!" Rarity cried suddenly, frantically leaping in front of the Celestia, "Please wait your higness! You can't destroy it! Sweetie Belle is inside that thing!"
"What!?" Celestia exclaimed, immediately extinguishing her horn, "What are you talking about? How did she-"
"It's true your highness," Twilight said as she hobbled up to join Rarity, "we all saw it happen. Eiji said it's a monster called a 'Yummy.' It took over Sweetie Bell's body but then turned into that thing, trapping her in it's body. We tried our best to stop it and save her but..." She looked away from her mentor as tears formed in her eyes.
Taking all this in, Celestia weighed her options, keeping her eyes in the Yummy as it recovered. Finally, she glanced back at Eiji, "Can she still be saved?"
"Well...I-" Eiji stuttered as the ponies looked to him with hope in their eyes. Hesitating a little, Eiji slowly nodded his head, "Yes, there is a way. Yummies are made up entirely of medals. If we can chip away enough of them we'd be able to reach inside and get her out. But..." He paused and looked down at the ground, clenching his fists, "But I don't think there's any way we can do that without-"
"Very well." Celestia interupted, opening her saddlebag with magic, "In that case, it's fortunate I was able to find what I was looking for."
Smilling she lifted a small jewlery box from the bag and sent it drifting towards Eiji. Confused, Eiji took the box in his hands and opened it, his eyes going wide at what he saw. Inside where three pink colored coins with golden rims. Each one was a slightly different shade from the others and had a different design etched into it. The first showed a unicorn's head with it's horn aglow, the next a pegasus in flight and the third was an earth pony rearing up on it's hind legs.
"T-These are..." Eiji stuttered as he took them out of the box to, the familiar feel of the coins banishing all doubts, "C-Core Medals! B-but how...where did..."
"I'm afraid I'm not sure myself," Celestia explained, "These were given to me as a gift many years ago. I had actually completely forgotten about them until I saw the one you had this morning. I hope you can put them to good use."
As the shock wore off, Eiji nodded and closed his hand around the Medals, "I will, your highness. But first I need-"
"EIJI!!"
The sound of Spike's voice grabbed everypony's as the he, Applebloom and Scootaloo came running up to them, the baby dragon waving Eiji's buckle and the broken Core Medal in the air. He skidded to a halt in front of Eiji and held them out to him.
"You...You said these let you fight monsters like that right!?" Spike asked desperately. "C-Can you really do it?"
Applebloom sniffled as she and Scotaloo looked up at him with tears pouring down their cheeks. "Please, ya gotta save Sweetie Belle! Ya just gotta!"
Ignoring the growls of the recovered Yummy, Eiji smiled and gave the three a light pat on their heads as he took the buckle from Spike. "Thank you. And don't worry..." He paused and turned toward the Yummy with a determinted look in his eyes. "Everything will be alright."
Eiji placed the buckle against his waist and two metalic straps suddenly emerged from it, wrapping around him to hold it in place. A small circular device also appeared on the right side of the belt. He inserted the Core Medals into the buckle's slots, each one snapping firmly into place and pushed down on one side, leaving the buckle at a slight angle. He then grabbed hold of the device and pulled it from the belt as it began to emit a strange electronic sound. He held it up for a moment before quickly swepping it across the front of the buckle, three tones ringing out as it passed over the Medals.
"Henshin!" Eiji cried as, to everypony's amazement, large images of Core Medals began to swirl around Eiji's body, forming three rings around his head, chest and legs.
'Unicorn! Tenma! Kouma!'
Several poines yelped in surprise as the belt actually spoke. At it's command a single Core from each ring moved forward and lined up vertically in front of Eiji.
'Uni-Ten-Kou~ma! Ahh~ Ahhhh~ Ahhhhh~ Ahhhhh!'
The surprises did end there as the belt proceded to sing a short melody as the three images combined into one and flew back into Eiji's chest. As it did so, a wave of light washed over the human's body, encasing him in strange armor. While it was primarily black, several parts of the armor were colored the same shades of pink as the Core Medals. His head was the lightest and featured large blue compound eyes and a prominant unicorn horn about the size of Twilight's. The chest section was a little darker with the forearm and shoulder guards having a ruffled, feather-like appearance. The legs were the darkest with parallel lines of color running down them, stopping at in the rings around his ankles.
On his chest was a circular crest with the image of the three combined Core Medals. However, the way they combined showed only the unicorn's head, pegasus' wings and the earth pony's legs, giving it the appreance of a regal alicorn.
The Yummy growled at the sight of this and took a step back, seemingly just as surprised as the ponies. Twilight was the first to snap out of the shock. She looked up to see all of her freinds jaws had dropped, even Celestia's eyes were wide at the sight before her.
"E-Eiji?" Twilight began nervously. "I-Is that...Is that OOO?"
Eiji turned towards her and nodded, lifting his arm to give the group a thumbs up. "That's right." He turned back towards the Yummy and started calmly walking towards it. "Kamen Rider OOO."
"RRAHHH!" The Yummy roared and charged towards Eiji, its arms poised to strike.
When it was close enough it jumped and tried to swipe at him with its claws but Eiji deftly swatted the blow aside with his arm, knocking it off balance. The Yummy quickly recovered and rushed him again, swinging its arms widly as Eiji backpedaled away from it. However, despite its best efforts, not a single hit connected. Eiji's graceful arm movements blocked or deflected each blow with seemingly no effort.
Snarling with rage, the Yummy pulled back its arm for another heavy blow. Much to its surprise, however, instead of blocking Eiji ducked underneath its arm and gave it a rough shove to send it tumbling to the ground. It slammed its fist on the ground and got back to its feet just as Eiji dashed towards it. The armor on his legs suddenly flashed and Eiji delivered a powerful kick to its chest, sending it stumbling backwards. Eiji pressed his attack, delivering a series of spinning kicks, each one hitting almost the exact same spot. Each impact sounded like shattering glass and each one caused a small shower of sparks to fly off of the beast, along with dozens of the silver coins which soon littered the ground.
From where they stood, Twilight and the others could see a large chunk of the Yummy's chest had been broken away by the assault, exposing the mass of coins inside as they leaked out of the gapping hole. However, they could also see something else inside. Every few seconds something white colored pushed a few of the coins aside as if trying to escape before being swallowed up again. Rarity let out a gasp when she saw this, followed by another when she saw the holes starting to close as the monster regenerated, threatening to seal her inside again.
"Now! HYAH!" Eiji cried as he ran forward, ducking under another wild swing, and drove his arm into the Yummy's chest. His second arm followed soon after as he reached deep inside of its body. Bellowing in pain the Yummy rained blows onto Eiji, slashing at his back and slamming its knees into his side as it tried its hardest to throw him off of it. More sparks flew as Eiji's armor endured the onslaught until finally it had had enough. Hissing into his face, the Yummy grabbed Eiji's shoulders and began to spin in place, dragging Eiji along with it. As it picked up speed, Eiji eventually lost his footing and was hurled into the air.
"Eiji! No!" Twilight's horn flared as she prepared to catch him with her magic. Before she could, however, the chest potiton of Eiji's armor flashed and a pair of pale pink wings appeared out of thin air. They gave a single, powerful, flap as Eiji righted himself and floated gingerly down to the ground, a small filly cradled in his arms.
"Sweetie Belle!!" Rarity cried as she rushed over, everypony following close behind. They gathered around Eiji as he gently laid Sweetie down. "Is...is she..."
"She's okay," Eiji said as he tenderly stroked the filly's mane, "Don't worry she's going to be-"
"Mhmm..." Sweetie Bell moaned softly, cutting off Eiji, and lifted her head. "R-Rarity?"
Rarity choked back a sob and leaned down to nuzzle her sister, "I'm right here Sweetie. Everything's alright now."
"M-My tummy hurts."
The older unicorn was at a lost for words but soon let out a light chuckle. "Oh, Sweetie Belle."
"Grahh....You!"
Everyone looked up as the Yummy finally climbed back to its feet. Its chest was completely whole again but its legs shook as it tried to walk towards them. Its breathing was ragged but it still managed to take a deep breath, flickering embers leaking from it's mouth. Rarity covered Sweetie with her body as everypony braced for the attack. Eiji, however stood perfetly still as his helmet flashed and his horn began to glow.
"Just! Die!" The Yummy lurched forward and released the fireball at the group. However, before it reached them it suddenly veered to the right, circled around and went right back at it. The monster yelped in surprise as the fireball crashed into it and exploded, knocked it right back down again.
Twilight's raised an eyebrow in surprise and she looked up at her mentor. "Princess? Did you do that?" Celestia shook her head, looking as confused as she was. "Well then who-" Her cut herself off and she looked back to Eiji again, her eyes wide. "Eiji? Was that..."
Eiji turned back to the group and nodded. Despite the helmet covering his face Twilight could swear he was smiling at them. "Levitation spell, right?" He said with a chuckle. "It...it just came to me." Twilight, along with everypony else, smiled at him as he turned back towards the Yummy. Grabbing the scanning device again, Eiji swept it across the belt's buckle. The Core Medals flashed as he did so, appearing to jump out of the buckle and spin before dropping back into the slots.
'Scanning Charge!'
The belts voice spoke again as Eiji's wings reappeared. Kicking off the ground Eiji took flight, soaring into the air. After gaining enough height a beam of light shot out from Eiji's horn and stuck the Yummy, forming a binding ring around it's chest. With the Yummy unable to move Eiji performed a loop Rainbow Dash would be proud of and began to dive towards the Yummy as it struggled to stand. Three rings of energy appeared in the air between them and as Eiji passed through each of them, his legs seemed to glow brighter and brighter. Just before impact he flipped forward, his wings open wide behind him and his legs our in front.
"SEIYA!" Eiji cried out as he drove both feet into the Yummy's chest.
*BOOM*
The force of Eiji's final attack caused the Yummy to explode into a shower of medals. Silence overtook Ponyville, broken only by the sound of the coins as they clattered to the ground. Taking a few deep breaths, Eiji straghtened himself up and snapped the buckle back to it's default postion. He then removed the Core Medals from buckle and gave it a firm tug. As he did so the belt retracted back into the buckle and his armor turned grey before fading away. After catching his breath he let out a sigh of reilef before turning back to the ponies.
"Is everyone al-OOF!" He cried out as Rainbow Dash slammed into him and knocked him down. Groaning in pain he looked up to see her sitting on his chest. "W-what are you-"
"That...was...SO AWESOME!" Rainbow squealed, just inches away from his face, "You totally kicked that things butt! I gotta admit I didn't really believe you when you said you fought monsters but boy was I-HEY!"
Twilight rolled her eyes as she grabbed Rainbow's tail with her magic and pulled her off of him. "Rainbow, give him some room. He's gotta be sore after that pounding he took earlier." She looked up at Eiji and smiled as the rest of her friends gathered around him.
Eiji chuckled as he sat up, shaking his head. "It's okay. Don't worry about me I'm fine. Really I-"
"Thank you!" Rarity cried as she leapt forward and hugged Eiji. "You saved my little sister! Thank you! Thank you so much! Mwah!" She planted a kiss on his cheek, making him blush quite a bit and eliciting a few giggles from the poines surrounding him.
"Oh my gosh that was so amazing!" Pinkie exclaimed, bouncing around Eiji as he got back to his feet. "That thing was all 'Grr, rawr I'm mean' and you were all 'Hiya! Take that!' and totally beat it up! That was the most super-incredible, stupendous, fantastical, wond-rffmm!"
Applejack let out a sigh as she covered Pinkie's mouth. "Simmer down now Pinkie. That goes for the rest of ya'll too. Come on and give the hero some breathin' room. Like Twi' said he's prob'ly hurtin' something fierce."
Eiji shook his head again as he stood up, brushing some dust off his clothes. "Thank you but I promise, I'm okay. I...I'm just glad I could help."
"I think you did a bit more than that," Celestia said with a smile, "I'm not sure what I was expecting when I heard your story but what I've just witnessed was quite the sight to behold."
Twilight nodded in agreement as she stood beside her mentor. "It's a good thing you were arrived when you did your highness. I don't know if we could have saved Sweetie Bell without those coins."
Eiji nodded as well, looking down at the Medals before turning towards the Princess, "Thank you your highness. I guess you'll be wanting these back now."
Celestia shook her head as he held the Medals out to her, a solemn look on her face. "I think you had better hold onto them. Something tells me you'll be needing them again."
Everyone's smiles vanished at this as the realization dawned on them. Eiji in particular seemed very troubled.
If a Yummy showed up here...Eiji squeezed the three medals in his hand, Then...that must mean he-
"Eiji?"
Snapping out of his throughts, Eiji looked down at Spike as the baby dragon held the broken red Core up to him.
"Here. I...I'm Sorry I couldn't help out more."
Eiji, along with everyone else, chuckled softly as he crouched down and rubbed his head. "You did great." He took the medal from him and smiled. "If it wasn't for you I might not have been able to save her in time."
"Oh my little Spikey Wikey," Rarity giggled, giving the little dragon a kiss on his cheek, "You were so brave."
"W-Well...I-I was...ehh...Umm..."
Scootaloo snickered as Spike tried his best to talk. "You wanna try that again with real words?"
While everypony else shared a laugh Eiji looked down at broken medal, letting out a sad sigh. "Ankh...I-huh?" He cut himself off when he noticed something glowing in his other hand. Just as he looked over, the three pink Core Medals suddenly flew from his grip and began circling the broken one.
Everyone jumped back in fright but the medals remained floating in midair. Seconds later a clattering could be heard all around them as the silver ones littering the ground began to move on their own. The pink Cores flashed even brighter as dozens of coins were lifted into the air and began massing around the broken medal.
Eiji and the ponies shielded their eyes from the light as the coins were pressed together. After a moment the pink light surrounding it turned to red as the three cores suddenly dropped to the ground lifelessly. As the light slowly died down all of them looked again to see the coins had formed into a solid shape floating in the air before them, an arm. It had five fingers like Eiji's but it was bright red and green with color. It also had two wing-like protrusions ontop of it and several rings on it's fingers.
While the ponies started at it in shock it 'turned' towards Eiji, who had a particularly dumbfounded experssion on his face.
"Tch!" It scoffed, much to everypony's continued surprised, and began to speak. "Oi, Eiji! What did you get us into this time? I was just getting used to being dead."
"...A-Ankh."
To be continued...

I didn't know this fic was on FIMFiction, YAY!!!!!!!!
SUBARASHII, this was great. I really liked this chapter, while I'm not a fan of making up content the combo you created was neat. I just hope actual Combo's will appear, since I want to see TaJaDor and SaGoZo in action. I pumped for the next chapter.
906442 Not to worry, now that I got my original macguffin out the way we'll start seeing more recognizable combos.
P.S. SaGoZo and TaJaDor are two of my favorites too
907147
That's awesome, I might as well show you my top 5 favourite OOO Combos.
1. TaJaDor
2. SaGoZo
3. PuToTyra
4. LaToraTah
5. BuraKaWani
I hope next chapter won't take to long, and I'm still trying to figure out why this isen't in the featured box?.
909731Small audience I assume. I was hoping this would be an introduction to OOO (and Kamen Rider in general) but from what I've seen so far most of the readers are already Kamen Rider fans (Still shocked there are so many on here
). Guess it just doesn't appeal to the average MLP fan. Oh well, as long as even one person enjoys it I'll keep it going
Edit: That also means I won't have to be as crazy with the details from here on. lol
Also; 1. TaJaDor
2. LaToraTah
3. SoGoZo
4. Super TaToBa
5. GataKiriBa
909852

Top 5 OOO Combo Songs:

Have been waiting such a long a long time and was about to give up hope, but OP you have delivered this superbly....
PS: Original Combo jingle was really clever : )
Keep this one going!!!! SUBARASHI!!!!!
916790 Thank you very much. Sorry for the delay, both for the reply and the update, but I'm really happy so many OOO fans are finding this enjoyable. I'll try my best not to disappoint you
MMMOOAARRRRHHHH! I WANT TO SEE MORE!!!
980032 also speaking of combos will ALL the combos be in it? (Aka TaToBa, GattaKiriBa, RaToraTah, SaGoZo, TaJaDol, ShaUTa, PuToTyra) Including BuraKaWani and Super TaToBa?
1069977 Yes. I'm planning to include every Combo at least once. And since this will technically be an alternate version of Mega Max I have a brand new origin in mind for the Super TaToBa Medals.
1070415 awesome can't wait! also no to be rude or anything but when will the next chapter be up?
1070501 A little while still. I have a good chunk of it done and I know what else I want to put in. Just having a little trouble making it all fit together.
1070604 yeah i'm dealing with the same thing on chapter 2 of my second fanfic.
Interesting. True to source material, interested to see where this goes. OOO's is my favorite Rider series, so I am looking forward to what you are going to do with it, especially with a 'stranger in a strange land' scenario. Eiji can adapt to anywhere he goes, but can Ponyville adapt to him?
Eh... probably...
Good Job, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, UNITENKOU!
If Kousei Kougami were with Eiji. Kousei and Pinkie Pie would get along so well.
Happy Birthday!
This chapter rocks, especially with the debut of UniTenKou Combo. I can't wait to see how the rest of the story goes. Though I'd like to make 2 predictions about what will happen:
1. Out of the Mane 6, Ankh will come to blows with Rainbow Dash the most.
2. After being saved by Eiji, Sweetie Belle develops a crush on him.
Okay, so let me see if I got what each of the pink Core Medal's individual powers are.
* Unicorn: The ability to cast magic spells.
* Tenma: Sprouts wings for flight capabilities.
* Kouma: Increased kicking power.
Now, I must ask. What exactly is UniTenKou's full Combo ability?
You have a spelling typo, TomaTanuki:
"Eiji turned back to the group and nodded. Despite the helmet covering his face Twilight could swear she was smiling at them."
It should be "he", not "she".
