> Ruler of Time & Space! Zi-O > by Kamen rider yokai > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Time one arrival at canterlot! Rider time 2018 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Time and space was something that was always at strange odds. Ever constant in the multiverse as much as the eternal struggle between light and darkness. In a large wasteland stood a rather unique statue its base was a pillar of four mirrors and standing on the pedestal was a statue of a human man with messy hair that grew long in the back held in a ponytail, the hair curled at the end. A plaque was placed at the foot of this life-sized statue while around it was nineteen statues of the figure’s predecessors. Standing in front of the monumental statues, a man stood, facing away from it. But this was no ordinary man. This man wore regal yet demonic-looking armor, colored in black and gold. His body was mostly black with a giant watch band going from his chest down to in front of his legs. His shoulders looked like wings of an eagle colored black with golden patterns, and his arms were mostly black with golden bands and slot-like wristbands. His matching legs were golden on the sides, on the rim of his boots and at the toe of the shoes, with golden watch knobs as knee armor. A golden watch band went diagonally down to his left waist from his left shoulder like a bandolier, while the right shoulder, along with the right side of his chest, held black watch-like decorations. On his back were a large set of two hands of time: hours and minutes, acting as a cape. His helmet was black with a gold rim on his face, two golden hands set at 2:00 and 10:00 with three golden clocks on the forehead, a silver symbol resembling NXO, with the "X" having an arrow pointing out, and red visor saying "Rider" in Katakana Japanese in a bold, sharp font, all of which protected by a spiked black and gold neck guard. On the right side of his head was a golden knob, like that of an old wristwatch. Around his waist was a golden belt designed after a watch with a red screen spelling out 2018. This was the dark tyrant who could bend time and space to his will. The very being who brought the very chaos that destroyed the world of 2068. This was the Demon King of Time… …Oma Zi-O…! ライダー = "Rider" Turning oma Zi-O spotted an army waiting before him. An unnoticeable sigh was heard as the Kamen rider inwardly wondered when these resistance members will get the hint he can’t be beaten. These people were the resistance who fought against the tyrannical rule of Oma Zi-O and his dark forces. They were all dressed in black with very little coloration as they wielded machine guns and fired at Oma Zi-O. "CHARGE!" A soldier yelled as they got closer and closer to the Demon King, not letting up on the shooting. However, the bullets did not even hit Oma Zi-O, as every shot seemed to explode a few yards on all sides. Deciding he had enough of these weaklings, Oma Zi-O raised his right arm and flicked his hand up, palm towards the sky. When he did this, a shockwave hit everyone charging at him, causing explosions that brought them down to ground. No matter how hard they were trying, they didn't seem to have the power push forward after that attack. The Demon King then heard screeching sounds before turning his head and seeing a barrage of missiles heading his way. But that failed given that he used his dark power to freeze the missiles in place. That's when he noticed a giant, cycloptic robot about to step on him; of course, this was just a number of them about to attack them. Oma Zi-O didn't let up though. He threw the first robot far away and used his dark powers to take them out one by one. Once all the robots were annihilated in explosions, he then froze time again with his right hand as more showed up. He then looked at the resistance fighters, feeling very little pity for them as they struggled to get back on their feet. With a soundless wave, the demon king turned every one to ash. Hearing a noise oma zi-o looked to see there were some survivors. The rider looked at two of the survivors of the massacre. One a black with yellow highlights in her hair girl teen with tanned skin wearing a dirtied mantle of white cloak and dress. The other a boy with red hair and pale skin dressed in red and black military style clothes. The rider spoke in an aged yet dark voice. " You cannot possibly defeat me. Do you know why? Because I was born to be king!” -fifty years ago- Well, this was finally happening. It took me ages but I was going to a tokusatsu convention dressed as Sogou Tokiwa aka Kamen rider Zi-o himself in a way. I wore a grey jacket over a black shirt and blue jeans with a blue and white bead necklace with a crescent moon pendant as the centerpiece. I ran a hand over my curly brown hair that was messy and short except for the back which reached to the back in length held in a ponytail that curled at the end. Hidden by my jacket was a ziku driver and in my pocket was the Tsukuyomi ride watch. I had gotten the driver in the mail from eBay but instead of the zi-o ride watch or geiz, I ended up with Tsukuyomi ride watch. The only differences besides my hair between me and Sogou were that my eyes were green. My name is James McCain and I was a Kamen rider fan with an eager expectation to add to my ride watch collection. Attention will a mister McCain come up to the entrance a package has arrived for you. Was heard over the convention hall and I grew confused. A package? Who would send me a package at a convention hall? I walked over to the convention entrance and I rose an eyebrow as I passed by someone with a very convincing black woz cosplay. I actually thought it was actually Woz himself. Approaching the front desk I was handed a small box and heading to a nearby cafe area I opened it and falling into my hand was a blank ride watch. What surprised me was the weight actually felt like it was real machinery and it definitely felt like metal. It glowing and releasing a bright light was not normal and I thought back to that black Woz who looked very smug and realized it really was Woz. ‘Oh shit!’ Was my last thought before I blacked out. When I came to it was to find myself at a school courtyard I recognized from an animated movie back in my sophomore year in high school though I felt like I was back in that school year. Pushing myself up I saw from my reflection I was 15 years old again instead of nine years older. And before I was that ride watch I was given. Picking it up I frowned and pitched it as far as I could throw it which turned out to be a river seventy feet away. Not long after that, I heard the mirror ripple and I turned around only to find myself suddenly pushed to the ground as who was obviously sunset shimmer if the bacon colored hair was any indication. ‘Huh so I’m in the point of time she left Equestria that is just confirmation I’m not in my home reality anymore’ I thought as I looked into her shocked green eyes. “Today has officially gone very strange for me before you coming out of a mirror so let’s both agree to keep that a secret I’ll help you up as I doubt you're used to walking on two legs,” I told her not letting her exactly know I know about Equestria. I let her pusher herself off me and I got up and lifted her arm over my shoulder as I helped her get used to how to walk on two feet. I took her to the nurse after getting directions from a janitor and soon had sunset at a nurse checking her legs. “Well looks like she has low muscle tone way too low for a girl her age she needs to exercise more if she doesn’t want her legs to collapse on her again she was lucky you stumbled onto her when you did,” the nurse said having bought the story I told her. “Well if I’m going to be a student here I better get a good reputation at least just moved into town so I was wondering and getting used to the city. Getting my bearings so to speak. And I’m guessing I’m not the only new arrival as she was just as lost as I am on how to navigate this school. My family forgot to tell me the address for where I’m staying while they're stuck on a business trip.” I told the nurse glad I took three years of acting classes the first go around of high school. “Ah, I see if your both new students you both need to speak with principal Celestia about enrolling and find your living arrangements from there. Well she should be okay to walk now so I’ll let you both go talk with her” said the nurse giving us directions. As we both started walking she gave me a look. “Why are you helping me when you barely know me,” she asked. “Your not the only one not native to this world only in my case it wasn’t by choice. We are in the same situation so our best option is to stick together. I arrived a minute before you did so like it or not we need to both get used to this world and with our ages we need to have the education to blend in. So let’s get to know each other I’m James McCain and currently very far from home” I told her being honest. She saw it and sighed knowing I had very good points. “Sunset shimmer former unicorn,” she said. “Your lucky I was born like this I’ll help you get used to being human. This world seems to be an in-between version of both our native worlds. People normally don’t have technicolor skin in my world and you seemed to recognize the name of the principal of this school. So familiar names to you might pop up a lot” I told her what I was noting so far. “That explains a lot so local versions of ponies I know exist here but don't know me,” said sunset. “And if I’m right much like my world this one doesn’t have magic like your used to,” I said as if she mentioned her former species that meant her world normally had magic. It didn’t take us long to talk to Celestia about enrolling and our current situation without telling her we were from other universes. Turned out the two of us were in the same place. A clock shop that had the second floor of apartments. Apparently, run by my current legal guardian and uncle. I mentally blamed Woz for that. The two of us went to find the place as we started school next month to settle in and get our school supplies. “Sunset I think whoever brought me to this world set up where I was going to stay and for some reason made sure you would have a home here not long after I arrived as if knowing we would meet,” I told her. “I was thinking it was too convenient” she muttered having tried to test my claim of no magic and was not happy to find I was right. Finding the place we met my apparent uncle clockwork gear at his clock repair shop and like Sogou's uncle he can repair more than just clocks but rarely get clocks to work on. So we both chose rooms close to each other and spent the month getting things to personalize our rooms and get our school supplies. As I was a year older than sunset I was going as a sophomore after taking the placement test. Luckily sunset under my coaching quickly adapted to being human. And so in the next year, our odd friendship and general personalities would confuse everyone while I had to work at keeping sunset from going too far if Equestria girls were going to happen. And I still can’t believe my ziku driver and Tsukuyomi ride watch became real even if I kept tossing the one that brought me here into the river every morning but kept reappearing the next hour on my person. I hate soul bound rider gear when it landed me in this situation. Still, sunset found out I was as good an actor as she was and slightly manipulative myself while I was a nice guy. If I was going to be zi-o in this world I better make sure to avoid becoming OMA zi-o. I didn’t mind becoming a demon king but I won’t become one without good reason. That and I was going to trust sunset and her future friends to keep me in line once 2018 hit. I was surprised sunset asked me to the fall formal and I apparently butterflied her dating flash sentry by taking the boyfriend role myself. Turned out In the time we got to know each other I got past her walls. In her words, I was the only person she could actually stand and enjoyed being around. So yeah I was confused on when we actually started to date. Both of us got motorcycle licenses but the only sunset actually owned a motorbike as I was still waiting for 2018. Then came the day I was dreading way early just after sunset went to steal the element of magic. Woz had appeared before me. This meant my time secretly preparing has run out and now zi-o’s story has just begun. > Time 2 Rider time 2018 part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- “Congratulations! According to this book, today is a very special day for you... But you should be wary of the red robot.” said who I knew was Woz but he didn’t seem to know I already have a ziku driver, in fact, I doubted this was the version that brought me here. Hearing wind chimes I looked to them knowing in the split second I looked away Woz had vanished. But I got worried. Why was Zi-o’s story happening after a whole year and not when I am sure it is 2018? I never saw a calendar so I never really checked the date but I was pretty sure we as in Sunset and I have already been here a whole year. Finding a current calendar was going to have to wait because geiz was going to come after me just as sunset who had been held back at school had just caught up to me. “James what’s wrong you look spooked” asked sunset. “I just met the local version of the guy that put me here and he gave a warning so you better stick close to me,” I told her when I just spotted geiz’ time mazine. After a rather quick chase as I avoided the damn thing tsukiyomi came to our rescue but I Immediately saw she was the local version. She looked like a tanned version of herself from the show and had yellow streaks similar to Sunset in her hair. She was wearing the same outfit from episode one of zi-o and I didn’t hesitate to drag sunset with me into the time mazine as we few into the time tunnel heading to the Jurrasic era. “What in the world is going on!” sunset demand as she looked around the surprisingly roomy cockpit. “Long story short time travelers and trying to prevent a bad future. Basically, I’m supposed to become some demon king who rules the world with an iron fist but Tsukuyomi here is determined to make sure I don’t end up like that while her best friend, on the other hand, wants to kill me hoping that will really change the future when there could be another way. He has such a black and white view he is not really thinking things through only reason I know was that this whole situation was a fictional show back in my world and frankly I know how to prevent me becoming that demon king but I’m going to need proof it is actually happening by meeting my future self fifty years from now to confirm. It’s very complicated” I told her as I tried to keep my balance while tsukiyomi snapped her head to my direction shocked at what she just heard. “You knew!” she asked wide-eyed. “I’m not the local version of me from this universe and is from a world where Kamen riders was a live action series! I have seen the season I got forced into the role of! Of course, I know” I told her deadpan. “Well great so my boyfriend is getting targeted for being a demon king fifty years from now and only one of the resistance I am guessing is on your side to prevent it peacefully,” Sunset said obviously annoyed. “Well, I’m not the one who brought a magical artifact from their home dimension here I could sense the power of that crown at school today and did it ever occur to you the owner will chase you here to retrieve their property?” I told her frowning as I had told her many times it wasn’t worth it but she ignored me. Tsukiyomi seemed to know what I was talking about. “Oh god, that event is coming soon? Mom really regrets that even happening it was partly why you became a demon king” tsukiyomi told us. I blinked as I gave her a look. “Huh so your sunset’s daughter in this world that explains the hair the version of you I’m more used to has just black hair,” I said making the Bacon head just drop her jaw. “Today has officially gone very strange. Now I see what you meant when we met James” sunset said as we arrived. “James if you know than hand over the ride watch you found,” tsukiyomi said. “I would but the damn thing is like a bad penny I tossed it into the river every day but an hour later it reappears on my person. I had the damn thing for my entire time I was here” I told her showing the blank ride watch. Sunset looked at the device wide-eyed. “That’s a whole lot of enchantments and temporal manipulation,” sunset said as I dropped the watch when geiz attacked and it just reappeared in my hand. “Its already that bonded to you! As long as you don’t have the best we are good” said tsukiyomi. “Tsukiyomi I came here with a toy replica that became a working real driver and I met this world version of Woz who doesn’t know I already have a Ziku driver. With it was a ride watch that belongs to you. I’m fully going to trick woz into handing me the driver he holds to give to you so you’re able to keep me and geiz in line better” I told her handing her the tsukiyomi ride watch as she looked it over surprised. “What I never had a blank ride watch,” tsukiyomi said. “That was a toy from my world that was sold to go with the toy version of the belt as a what if you was a rider like geiz. I still have no idea why it looks nearly identical to what mine will become” I told her. “Wait the watch you have will look like that?” Asked sunset looking at the watch. “Visor is different but otherwise identical,” I informed her. Tsukiyomi looked at the ride watch and sighed before pocketing it as she headed for our next destination. Feudal Japan to explain the full story to sunset. Tsukiyomi did explain that yes the year we were from is 2018 so it was just my luck Kamen rider zi-o was running tandem to the Equestria girls story. And sunset’s daughter explained oma zi-o to sunset. “Wait so James is supposed to be this guy but while he can be very convincing and good at acting he is no tyrant,” sunset said watching my supposed future self wipe out an army with time manipulation. “While I do have royalty in my worlds ancestry I’m from a side branch of the clan but even I know I’m not much of a ruler,” I said and both girls stared at me wide-eyed. “I got nineteen generations of Irish kings as ancestors. Three united states presidents as well and war hero Davy Crockett on my late mother’s side. My great grandpa was in world war 2” I told both deadpan. “That explains why oma zi-o is so assured he is a king. He has the ancestry to back it up.” Tsukiyomi said in a similar deadpan. “You’re a noble... No wonder I relax so much around you I just can’t help but know a kindred spirit is near” Sunset said as well she does see Princess Celestia as her adoptive mother. “Yeah well I don’t want to rule the world I’m happy with just being a protector and making sure you and I don’t end up killed because we are living proof the multiverse theory is real. Messing with dimensional travel without good cause is just asking for a disaster. A multiverse nearly imploded because of just connecting ten different Earths together.” I told her. Seriously I was so going to tell sunset the flaws of her plan and let twilight reach out to her to prevent her from making a huge mistake. But first tsukiyomi had gotten me into trying to break up a fight between five guys and when I tried to settle things peacefully I got tossed into the river with sunset giving tsukiyomi a rather unamused look. I hobbled out as well I landed on my back on some of the river stones and my nerves were letting me know how painful that was. “Let’s just head back so I can recover” I suggested as I winced at the pain my back was giving me as I think we just proved just how different I was from Kamen rider oma zi-o. Tsukiyomi wilted at the look sunset was giving her as well I am her date to the fall formal. I really hoped by the time gaim turned up she doesn’t pull this stunt again. Then again knowing my luck right now gaim will show up during rainbow rocks as well singing and dancing went together. Once wee termed the time stream again though geiz had tracked us down and knocked me out of the time mazine. “I am going to punch geiz in the face for that stunt” I muttered as my back flared up again. Oh, and my left shoulder dislocated from the landing too that’s just great. Let’s see skywall check, seito area check, and smash appearing right when I am currently helpless that is a major check! Yep, I’m in build just before sento and ryuga erase the Pandora’s box And evolt. Luckily sento and ryuga arrived and beat the smash saving my hide. “Thank heaven you two showed up,” I said as they helped me up and I winced at the dislocated shoulder making my back worse. “You need to be treated,” said sento and I gave him a look. “Sempai I would not be surprised if my back is a massive bruise along with the dislocated arm by now,” I told him. “Sempai,” the two riders asked confused. I pulled out my ziku driver. “James McCain soon to be Kamen rider Zi-o. Time travel is what I have to deal with. I’m from about a year from now. One of my fellow riders knocked me into this year and made me land hoping I get killed. I’m definitely punching him in the face for that stunt” I deadpanned as I put away the driver. “Ah I see so can I study your technology,” asked sento. “No don’t want to cause a paradox” I quickly shot that idea down. “Not to be confused with Kamen rider paradox by the way” I added. “Kamen rider paradox” asked banjo confused. “You will meet him later, for now, let’s just get me patched up so my girlfriend and her time traveling daughter can find me. It’s complicated a lot” I told them. So the two helped me over to nascita and banjo helped me put my shoulder back where it belongs and applied a sling while also attending to my back as sento examined my ride watch that had fallen out of my coat when banjo was patching my injuries. “Like I said you can’t study the tech! That’s what I need to become a rider and no I don’t know who made the tech in the first place a lot of quantum theory is needed and I barely understand the physics. Those can somehow alter history in the wrong hands and I don’t want to know how you’re going to find never becoming a rider will alter history.” I told sento as I tested the sling and cast banjo put on my injured arm. Sento sighed obviously disappointed on not studying future tech but saw my point as I knew what the ride watches are able to do. Before he handed it back tsukiyomi had knocked them out with the Faiz phone x and I dodged the blast heading for me. “Watch it tsukiyomi I’m injured enough as it is! That reminds me next time I see geiz I’m punching him in the face!” I told her as I used my right hand to point at my injured arm. “James what happened,” sunset said wide-eyed and definitely upset. “What does it look like? When geiz knocked me out of the time mazine the rough landing dislocated my arm and I was nearly killed by a smash if my predecessors to the title of Kamen rider hadn’t saved me and fixed me up.” I said frowning as I retrieved my ride watch. “Okay yeah, I don’t blame you for wanting to punch geiz let’s just get you two back to your time,” said tsukiyomi sighing as when put like that her friend is really starting to annoy her now. “James isn’t the only one wanting to punch geiz. James can’t dance with a busted arm and a bruised back so he practically ruined my date for the fall formal and everyone else already has a date so I’m going to be the only one left out this was supposed to be our one year anniversary” sunset said looking really steamed. I decided to distract her and impress tsukiyomi with what I knew of Kamen rider build on our way to the time mazine. Needless to say, Sunset was successfully distracted from her rage and tsukiyomi breathed a sigh of relief that her mother was calmed down. Soon enough we made it back to 2018 and sunset dragged tsukiyomi into her room for the night and I got into bed after telling clockwork gear that I just had an accident while on my bike and sunset took me to the hospital. I know we won’t be able to hide the rider stuff from him forever but well I don’t want to drag him in yet. I only knew up to zi-o 2 debuts so anything past Kamen rider Kikai appearing is a blank for me. Still, now I’m in for an uncomfortable night due to my injuries. > Time 3 Rider time 2018 part 3 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I’ll say this much I didn’t wake up with any pain and tsukiyomi was joining us in canterlot high for now if the fact she has a backpack already having school supplies was any indication. I headed out early to school and got there in time for spike and twilight to arrive. I rolled my eyes and quickly covered her mouth before she freaked out. “Calm down before you draw attention. No one besides me and my girlfriend knows the mirror is a portal to another world. Just stand on your feet like I am and try to find your balance. Humans like you currently tend to walk like dragons from what I heard” I told her. She took a few breaths when I removed my hand and she stood up before she looked at my injured arm. “Oh god! What happened to you did sunset do this to you” asked Twilight. “No for one she’s the girlfriend I mentioned or to use a term you know special somepony. What injured my arm is because of someone else. That and I told sunset it was a bad idea to steal a magical artifact from your world and bring it here. You came at a rather bad time as time travel to prevent a bad future is occurring right now. Sunsets daughter from fifty years from now time traveled due to events you might get caught up in. Her best friend was the one who got me injured its complicated to extremes” I told her. “Okay I didn’t expect that,” said Twilight. “There is some good in sunset but right now she’s having trouble realizing she needs help. I’m practically the only person sunset listens to for the most part I’m practically her best friend kinda surprised me when she just up and asked me out and we were together for about a year now. Just to warn you though there are familiar faces around they won’t know you. The Celestia and Luna of this world run this school as principal and vice principal. I did some checking and your local counterpart is at a rival school called crystal prep. So your unlikely to meet up with her unless she transfers to this school” I told twilight as I actually did check in that year I been in this world. “So who are you,” asked spike and I gave him a raised eyebrow. “My name is James McCain like you two and sunset I’m not from this world but I’m not from Equestria. This world is like a blend of my native reality and Equestria. I didn’t end up here by choice but well sunset and I arrived at the same time. With how similar our situations were we just naturally clicked. Though watch out sunset is already ticked off because I'm going to have to postpone our date. The school is hosting a dance for the students and it's going to be our first anniversary as a couple. And well with a sore back and a dislocated shoulder, I’m in no shape to dance. It's being held on the last day you guys need until you have to go back and retrieve your crown. I told sunset it was a bad idea to take it but as your Celestia knows she’s stubborn when she wants to be.” I sighed as we moved to the front doors and sunset with snips and snails came out. Sunset as I already noted was visibly angry but calmed down on seeing me. “Oh hey, James glad to see you tsukiyomi is talking to vice principal Luna and are hitting it right off. I honestly have no idea why” sunset said and I chuckled. “Both of them have names based on the moon they probably just sympathize with each other over how many moon jokes they had to have heard growing up. Anyway sorry about not being able to go to the fall formal. Didn’t expect to get hit by that car like that” I said looking at snips and snails hinting to sunset the cover we came up to explain my arm and back. “I see, need any help getting your textbooks,” asked sunset concerned. “Please with my arm dislocated I’ll definitely need the help,” I said gratefully. Twilight blinked jaw dropped as sunset hugged me careful of the arm and kissed me and I blushed as well this was our first kiss. “Wow,” I said once she pulled back. “Yep though I’m still going to punch the driver of that vehicle for ruining our first anniversary,” said sunset before turning to Twilight. “So who might you be” asked sunset. “Sunset remember what I told you when we met tsukiyomi during our videogame season when we met her? The one about how taking a magical artifact would cause the rightful owner of tracking it down” I told her making her blanch at the hint I gave her and the cover for people listening in. “Oh so you played that character in our online game huh snips, snails get to class I got something private to talk to them about,” sunset said as the confused boys just did as ordered. “Okay James you were right but why now did she come here when she could have appeared yesterday,” sunset asked. “My guess the time jacker’s had a hand in the delay. Basically, time manipulators who are trying to replace my supposed future self with a puppet ruler by stealing the powers of Kamen riders and their history and creating monsters out of them to act as their tool to ruin the future. Tsukiyomi came back to deal with them as their rogues” I told her. “Very well informed my lord and glad to see you too Lady Twilight, Lady Sunset,” said a familiar voice and I turned to see Woz leaning on the rail next to the front door. “Woz why are you showing up now when we got better things to do,” I asked him deadpan. “Well for one I wanted to meet your equals my lord and second I came to warn you that the time jackers are not only in this world but Equestria as well so you might want to consider occasionally popping over to Equestria to handles the issues there. Lastly, its to tell you that someone you recently met is going to show up today and has something for you” said Woz before vanishing after closing his book. “And that was Woz a person with similar abilities to the time jackers and apparently he’s a servant of mine fifty years from now. Must have frozen time and just walked away. Not sure why. Still, guess that means I’m meeting Kiryu sento and banjo ryuga again. Knowing sento... He’s teaching physics here” I said deadpan. “Why did Woz treat you like some kind of king,” asked Spike. “Long story,” I said before telling them what sunset learned yesterday. “Okay I can see what you mean about changing the future,” said Twilight surprised. “Yeah still I and sunset have classes just try and not draw attention to yourself and spike dogs here don’t talk so try not to freak anyone out twilight if anyone asks to say he’s a guard dog your older brother insisted you keep with you. Here your brother is a cop. I actually checked” I told her. “Basically don’t get into trouble,” said spike nodding. For the whole day, I just focused on my classes and found yes sento was teaching physics and he handed me what I soon recognized as the bike ride gadget... And used an invention he had made to fix up my arm and my back. He likely invented something like this after our meeting in 2017. He had given me a wink on handing me my motorbike. Kinda figured as well the ride watch did have similar tech to the build phone. Sunset immediately cheered up that our date was back on. Banjo was apparently security for the fall formal. Twilight apparently ran into tsukiyomi and the local versions of her friends. And already was getting into becoming the fall formal princess having fixed the five's friendships though by the way rainbow looked at me they were surprised sunset actually does care for me without being a proverbial bitch. That reminded me I had to ask sunset something that had bothered me all of yesterday. "Sunset just how did you know the portal was open or what to take in the first place and who to steal from," I asked her that night as tomorrow was our date. "Some weird guy in blue showed up the day before yesterday and told me had a feather near his ear and I couldn't help but just go and take it. Why do you ask?" Asked sunset. "Oh that is just great you met Swartz the leader of the time jackers and sounds like he put a compulsion on you meaning you were content to leave the element of magic in Equestria and they may have their own plans involving the element" I said as twilight who was staying with us frowned at that news. "But why would they do that," she asked. "Because the elements of harmony are a counter for oma zi-o. With how distorted his view is and I still doubt I become him they may be one of the few things that stop him. And the time jackers are trying to replace who is oma zi-o. It figures that they want to remove such a threat or maybe use it to keep their puppet in line if needed. They just didn't figure in you would come or that I would catch onto their plan" I said. "Than it really isn't moms fault she literally becomes a raging she-demon from putting on the element of magic" tsukiyomi blurted out in shock. "Wait for what! Okay, I can see why I would regret that" said sunset. "Took getting hit by the spirit of the elements to turn you back to normal I didn't want to say anything as well that is not something I can just bring up," said tsukiyomi. "Not only that but sunset what you had planned would have failed anyway. I mean brainwashing the students into an army to take over would fail once they went into the mirror. Remember how hard it was for you to be able to move and get used to being human. And before you ask you left your door open the night you snuck out and I overheard you plotting when I went to use the restroom. Been wanting to point out that flaw but geiz distracted us" I pointed out as sunset blushed at getting caught and winced as she got what I meant. Instead of an impressive army she would have minions who don't know how to move in an altered shape like the three pony tribes. "Okay point very well taken and might have been the compulsion talking me into it. She-demon thing would have made things worse. Please restrain me if I start acting off" sunset said. "What I want to know is if tsukiyomi here is your daughter sunset who is her dad?" Asked twilight. "I never knew my dad mom just handed me this necklace saying he would have wanted me to have it," said tsukiyomi pulling out a necklace that made me and sunset go wide-eyed as while chipped, battered and aged it was the very same necklace I have right now. Something that shocked her when I pulled mine out. "Now I really doubt I become oma zi-o because that means I'm your dad. And I definitely don't see myself abandoning family I'm going to need full on proof oma zi-o is me before I ever believe that" I told the girls and spike. "Wait you said this geiz guy thinks to kill you will prevent oma zi-o but wouldn't that erase tsukiyomi from ever existing?" Asked spike. "The solution I know of is to destroy my belt but that causes an alternate timeline Woz who is worse than the one we met to come by as while Woz wants me to become oma zi-o he at least is actually on my side the alternate is way different than our Woz looks horrified and he is not exactly close to usually looking like that. White Woz as the alternative is called to differentiate the two is way crueler and a zealot of the worst extremes that really horrifies Woz. As much as he annoys me Black Woz as he gets referred to is preferable to white Woz as while I'm not out to become a king I still want to be a protector" I said making tsukiyomi sigh as she heard that. "Just how much do you know about your future," asked tsukiyomi. "Up to what the day of oma is but haven't actually reached that day. I hate junction points like that as its a flashpoint event. Multiple timelines hinge on what happens on that day" I told her dryly. > time 4 rider time 2018 part 4 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was the night of the fall formal and to no one’s surprise but sunset twilight won and I managed to keep her distracted as I pointed out the crown was hers in the first place and that she still had to apologize for taking it from royalty. That made her wince as she was lucky twilight is forgiving as she was under a compulsion spell at the time. We still getting over the fact tsukiyomi was actually our daughter. I was honestly not expecting that revelation but at least I and sunset had a good time. I did have to restrain her as the compulsion kicked in and after twilight said her goodbyes after she explained what happened to sunset and our collective situation. Well before twilight could enter the mirror I groaned as another build showed up. “What in tarnation!” asked Applejack wide-eyed. Sento and ryuga ran up and looked confused. “Guess the time jackers had a backup plan,” I said with a groan as I pulled sunset away as the Another Rider started throwing basketballs and if I remember right flash sentry played basketball and I hadn’t seen him at all. Tsukiyomi wide-eyed pulled out her Faiz phone x and started shooting as I felt the ziku driver I had hid in my tux when I found woz walking up to me. “Well my lord will you stand up and fight and realize your dream of being king or will you let your friends get killed by the Another Rider,” said Woz. “Woz, for one thing, it was never my dream to be a king. Even if I become oma zi-o, I would rather be a protector than a tyrant so for that reason and that reason alone I will fight and uphold the true meaning behind the title Kamen rider!” I told woz as I pulled out my ride watch which glowed and became the zi-o ride watch woz smiled as while it wasn’t the answer he was looking for he presented me with the ziku driver on a velvet pillow and I picked it up. “You should know how to use this,” he said and I smirked. “While I’m glad for your loyalty, woz I’m sorry I had to trick you into giving me a ziku driver,” I told him who went wide-eyed as I pulled out my own from my tux as I tossed the one woz handed me to tsukiyomi. “My lord you already had the belt,” asked woz confused. “Had it the whole time but I needed to give tsukiyomi one as she needed it more than I do,” I said as I put the belt to my waist as tsukiyomi did the same and both of us rotated the white ring around the ride watches and pressed the buttons activating the two. ZI-O!/TSUKIYOMI! Was heard as both of us slotted the watches to our ride side slots on the watch-like belt and pressed the release button as I entered Sogou’s pose while tsukiyomi entered her own as holographic clocks appeared behind us. “Henshin” both of us shouted as we rotated the driver. RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O!/TSUKIYOMI! Was heard as the clocks entered the V-shaped position for the clock hands as our respective visors shot out as thee watch bands formed identical armors only Tsukuyomi’s armor was more fit for a female in shape as the symbols landed on our helmets. While mine was purple kanji reading the word rider Tsukuyomi’s visor was in English with the first five letters of her name. Both of us wore black armor with a watch band down the front with purple highlights and had watch knobs on our knees with our arms having ride watch holders while our helmets looked like a white watch face. “Rejoice! The one to inherit all Rider powers, the king of time who will rule over the past and the future. And his name is Kamen Rider Zi-O!” said woz and I sighed as I looked to woz. “Woz if you keep doing that at least do something similar for tsukiyomi turns out she’s my daughter which is why I doubt I become oma zi-o as I don’t abandon family,” I told the now shocked prophet and supporter of my supposed future self. “That explains why she has a near identical ride watch to you, my lord, she is your heir,” he said and I mentally sighed as everyone had sweatdrops at the prophet. “Anyway time to get to work at least before geiz shows up,” I said as I started to walk to where I stood next to tsukiyomi. “Another Build, the past, present, and future are ours to protect! We will restore time back to the way it should be!” I declared pointing at the Another rider as a holographic clock shot out and formed the edge of time. ZIKAN GILADE! KEN! Was heard as I held my blade. “Well looks like he has a good idea of what he’s doing,” said sento amused. “I’m going to help them,” said ryuga only for me to sigh and turn my head to him. “Ryuga as long as Another Build exists you cant transform into a Kamen Rider. He is effectively replacing sento as Kamen rider build according to the timeline. Your history is gone as a result how you both still remember is possible because you were from alternate earth” I told him. “That explains a lot,” said sento nodding. Turning me and tsukiyomi got to work as I used my decade of sword skills to slice the basketballs of energy and she shot at the Another rider distracting him enough for me to prepare the finisher with my sword removing my ride watch and placing it into the slot on my sword. FINISH TIME! ZI-O GIRI GIRI SLASH! With my blade glowing as Another build jumped up to shoot another basketball I leaped after him and cut through both. An explosion happened as flash sentry fell down with the Another ride watch near him. The explosion made everyone else at the fall formal rush out to see what was going on. Before I could move to the watch a red-haired male in red and black arrived and was glaring at me only to look confused at Kamen rider tsukiyomi before seeing her visor. “Tsukiyomi! What are you doing wearing a rider system” asked geiz wide-eyed. “Well for one turns out she’s my daughter and neither of us knew it until twilight over there asked and she had a necklace I have that sunset said I gave to her for safekeeping so keep in mind if you kill me tsukiyomi ceases to exist. I do know about paradoxes after all” I told him and he looked at tsukiyomi. “He’s telling the truth it actually casts doubt he is oma zi-o as he would never abandon the family. Why do you think oma zi-o never went after my mother to get at me in all the time we were fighting against oma zi-o” said tsukiyomi. “I don’t even want to be a demon king or a king, in general, I just want to keep everyone I know safe from harm still how did you manage to get the drive and ghost ride watches from my supposed future self anyway, “I asked. “How did you,” asked geiz wide-eyed. “I’m not the local version of this dimension’s James, I’m from a world where Kamen rider is a tv show I honestly doubt I even have a counterpart in this world”I deadpanned. “Well that explains how he knows me and ryuga besides that visit to 2017 and why he called us sempai,” said sento as the others tried to pick their jaws up except twilight as she knew I was like sunset and said former unicorn was just staring at me and Tsukuyomi’s armor and sighed. “Well it’s official my future husband and daughter are badasses twilight before you leave can you and these five remove the compulsion spell placed on me,” asked sunset. Before we could do anything time froze as Swartz walked up. “Now cant have you mess up the timeline,” he said as I glared at Swartz. The monster in human skin yanked the crown from twilight and placed it on sunset before reactivating the Another ride watch and placed it into flash and walked away as flash once more became Another build. With that time resumed as sunset became sunset satan while I looked to geiz. “Help me and tsukiyomi with Another build twilight and those five can handle freeing sunset,” I told him as he quickly became Kamen rider geiz. With three riders I was somewhat confident but I needed to get sento to hand me the build and cross z ride watches so we can restore time in 2017. And so I can hand him the two ride watches needed to become the build and cross z ride watch. Needless to say each time we battled another build he just won’t stay down! Twilight and the others were not having much luck against sunset satan as she was acting very dazed and unpredictable as she flew up only her eyes went wide as she saw another build was starting to overwhelm the three of us. She suddenly flew right at another build with a fist cocked back and landed a nasty right hook at the Another rider and stood before me and tsukiyomi protectively. “Leave my family alone!” sunset shouted causing the element of magic to light up again as a necklace formed around her neck causing me to drop my jaw under my helmet as her body let out a bright light that resembled flames. Where a devil like being once was now stood a more human-like being covered in a red like bodysuit with yellow trim and a helmet shaped like a Pheonix and around her waist was a belt similar to a ziku driver only resembled a sundial with the ride watch looking a lot like sunset’s cutie mark instead of a rider helmet. ERA time Kamen rider Solar! Was heard as the element of magic fell off her head. “Okay didn’t see that coming,” geiz said wide-eyed as woz was also wide-eyed. “What has drastically altered the timeline to this point! That when I was just expecting my lord to become zi-o I instead get an entire royal family who became riders. What caused sunset to become a rider and why hasn’t she used it back in 2068” woz muttered confused the hell out of his mind. Taking a deep breath I shared a look with sunset and tsukiyomi. “Well, this is one interesting development. Let’s knock him out quick” I said as the three of us pressed the button of our ride watches. FINISH TIME! Pressing the release button on our drivers the three of us rotated our drivers. Sunset’s cutie mark, kanji for kick and romaji for the same appeared in three interlocked rings around the Another rider as the three of us jumped into the air and entered kicking positions. TIME/ERA Break/Crush/STRIKE! Was heard from the three belts as the symbols lined up and shot to our outstretched foot with a clang as we each executed rider kicks on Another Build. With an explosion, flash fell unconscious and I watched as Another build came out from a different place like behind the students as flash’s body vanished. “Crap! Sento, ryuga please hand me those ride watches you got if we want to stop flash from this we got to go to 2017 to stop him from becoming another build for a year!” I shouted to the former riders. The former riders went wide-eyed as they each pulled out the build and cross z ride watches. “Good luck than you two,” said sento tossing the watches to me and I looked to sunset. “Sunset yours with me. Tsukiyomi, geiz do you think you can hold flash off while the two of us head to the past” I asked the other riders. “Should be fine just go!” said tsukiyomi. “What you’re trusting him and your mother with that” asked geiz. “Well they are my parents and that reminds me you are in a lot of hot water with my mom and me for that stunt you pulled yesterday,” tsukiyomi told him her tone frosty and an accent came out that made the red and black rider tense up. “Oh boy, she inherited the Irish temper. Geiz your in for a major beating once things calm down for now”I told him with a wince as I dragged sunset to where tsukiyomi parked the time mazine yesterday. “What!” said geiz in shock snapping his head at me. “She’s not the only one who’s going to beat you up. This was me and James first anniversary since we started dating and you nearly ruined it!” sunset shot out at him before we entered the time machine and set off. Even the mane five with twilight winced and gave geiz an almost pitying look. “Dude you are so boned it’s not even funny,” said rainbow. “That would explain why sunset was very unpleasant yesterday and if tsukiyomi here is any indication she really cares for James so this is one grave you dug yourself in,” said Rarity. “Still I think she herself created a new element of harmony that combined with how much she cares for her future family and awakened mother instincts is what caused her to overcome what that time jacker forced on her to even create that rider system,” Twilight said. Both teen riders from the future were too busy keeping Another build from going after the students to power up for any reply. “Great I’m going to face general sunset’s demon boot camp again! Only this time I’m going to be her first victim! No wonder she looked amused when I joined the resistance! She got to have the chance to train me up from the ground up twice! And she roped her friends into helping train us. What did I ever do to earn this kind of punishment” geiz said once he got a breather. Tsukiyomi gave him a rather dry look. “For one, you nearly ruined my parents first anniversary as a couple, secondly you tried to kill my dad when I strongly told you that it was not the way to handle this and lastly mom would have done this anyway due to your stubborn attitude. So yeah mom has every valid reason to give you hell. Dad said just destroying his ziku driver will prevent him from becoming oma zi-o. Though at the cost of creating an alternate woz that’s a lot more deranged than the one we know already” tsukiyomi told him in a no-nonsense tone. “Really?” asked geiz with an unseen dropped jaw. -2017- Well, I and sunset arrived at the year 2017 alright and quickly found flash fighting sento and ryuga as I and sunset ran over to them. “Oh, zi-o-san! Been months since we saw each other... Is this your girlfriend?” asked ryuga on spotting sunset with me as we were both out of our armors. “Yeah, this is sunset. Need some help with this guy” I asked as I and sunset pulled out our drivers. Placing them to our waists as sento and ryuga did the same we each got our respective transformation gears ready. RABBIT! TANK! BEST MATCH! WAKE UP! CROSS Z! ZI-O! SOLAR! “Henshin!” the four of us said. HAGANE NO MOONASULT! RABBITTANK! YEAH! WAKE UP BURNING GET CROSS Z DRAGON YEAH! RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O! ERA TIME! KAMEN RIDER SOLAR! The four of us lined up. “The law of victory is set!” said build. “I get the feeling I can’t lose!” said cross z. “Flash we will save you from that Ride Watch count on it,” said Solar. “Let’s restore time!” I said pointing at the Another rider. With that, we each charged fighting the Another rider who was using the abilities of various athletes to cause us trouble. Eventually, Build and cross z lost their powers as I got tossed to the end of the road where I spotted Woz waiting. “You know you have the oddest timing,” I told him as I stood up and pulled out the build ride watch and rotated it before pressing the button. BUILD! Putting it onto the unoccupied slot of my driver, in this case, the left slot I unlocked my driver and rotated it. “Build up!” I called catching the kaijin’s attention as Solar saw what I did. RIDER TIME! KAMEN RIDER ZI-O! ARMOR TIME! BEST MATCH BUILD! Appearing in front of me was the Build armor which I tapped causing it to split into its various components and start placing itself over my armor as the new kanji slammed into the new faceplate. I was now in mostly silver armor with red and blue in the forms of Kamen rider build’s own rabbit tank form detailed in design with shoulder armor looking like oversized full bottles and on my hand was a large drill. “Rejoice! The one to inherit all Rider powers, the king of time who will rule over the past and the future. And his name is Kamen Rider Zi-O! Build Armor!” called woz grinning madly. Solar did the same with the cross z ride watch making sure to repeat what I did. ERA TIME! KAMEN RIDER SOLAR! LEGEND TIME! WAKE UP BURNING CROSS Z! Her own legend rider armor formed only once it was put over her own armor it altered into a more perfect blend of her base form and the actual cross z armor. She pulled out the beat crosser as woz opened his book again. “Rejoice! The one to inherit all secondary Rider powers, the Queen of time who will rule over the past and the future. And her name is Kamen Rider Solar Cross Z Armor!” said woz having remembered what I asked of him back in 2018. “Did you really have to ask him to do that for me and tsukiyomi hon,” asked Solar giving me a look. “It’s best to humor the guy than anything else. He might not be a saint but well he respects me as a rider enough to be able to be counted on to help us. As long as he is loyal to me I figured best to give him a bit more of a workload in this case even if he was unaware of our relationship in 2068” i told my future wife. “Okay, good point,” she said. “Now let’s build a new future!” I said as now both of us was having a better time against Another Build as we started knocking him around. “Time to finish this,” i said as I pressed both buttons on my ride watches and sunset copied me. FINISH TIME! BUILD/CROSS Z! Rotating our drivers I made physics equations materialize around the Another Rider and sento nodded smirking seeing I did know my physics. The line graph formed before trapping another build as Solar and I leaped on and readied our weapons that were now glowing. VORTECH TIME BREAK! DRAGONIC ERA STRIKE! “Rider Full Solution!” I named the finisher. “Dragon Pheonix Slash,” said Solar naming her finisher. Both of us slashed the Another Rider and skidded to a halt behind him before an explosion happened to let flash collapse to the ground as the Another ride watch clattered to the ground and shattered as various lights shot out possible returning the various people Another build turned into Smash bottles and then ate. I sighed as I removed my watches and sunset did the same. Flash vanished having restored to where he first became Another build without the car crash that injured him in the first place while the red and blue orb formed out of the remains and shot to be splitting into the grease and rouge with evil ride watches alongside the rabbit tank sparkling and rabbit-rabbit/ tank-tank ride watches. I shared a look with sunset. “Well looks like geiz and tsukiyomi got their own backup ride watches now. The last three are for the time mazine itself so I doubt we can use these outside our armors personal weapons for those three,” I told her putting them away. We walked over to the two riders. “Well sento, ryuga ill see you both next year when you become me and sunset’s teachers, “I told the two knowing sento was going to correct me on the name. “Sento? He’s katsuragi takumi” said ryuga confused. “But he doesn’t look like he did anymore then again your history as Kamen riders were just erased from history. Takumi here is now Kiryu sento as a result of that history. It will come back to your memories later so hold on to these and you might get them back” I said tossing the two blank ride watches and sento immediately went into science mode. As i led sunset back to our time she asked me why i gave them the blank ride watches. “Those will eventually become the build and cross z ride watches. Now lets head back to 2018 so we can get twilight home and explain what happened to those five as i bet they will want to know why i and now you can become a super hero to them” i said as we re-entered the time stream. Once we saw twilight off and i led the five girls who twilight asked to befriend sunset over to our place to explain everything with a fearful geiz being dragged by tsukiyomi following. I wonder why he was being scared of sunset for? Meanwhile over at a hospital a certain gamer doctor was about to head to work holding a ride watch of his own. > game on 2016/ displaced? meeting kamen rider cyber > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Good thing gearwork is asleep as the seven of us plus tsukiyomi and geiz sat in the dining room and I had just explained my situation and what I know of Kamen Riders. “So let me get this straight. Fifty years from now you are some kind of demon king who rules the world with an iron fist but you doubt that as you are not even interested in being a king but forced into the role by the watch when you ended up in our world” rainbow asked. “Pretty much we already figured out this world is like a halfway mix of my home reality and sunset’s world. Humans don’t have technicolor skin in my world. When I saw your blue skin I honestly thought you had hypothermia rainbow” I told her as sunset blinked not knowing what that was. “Now that he mentions it the coloration is similar,” said Fluttershy having helped take care of animals suffering from that condition. Everyone broke out laughing at the shocked and surprised look rainbow shot Fluttershy at that. “Anyway as you guys already know tsukiyomi is apparently my and sunset’s daughter from fifty years from now and geiz is her best friend. And wasn’t that a shock for me and sunset” I said motioning to the yellow streaked black haired teen. “Nice to meet you and I was just as a shocked dad,” said tsukiyomi. “I still can’t believe oma zi-o is your dad he never gave any indication of it in our time,” said geiz knowing he can’t really kill James now as he didn’t want to erase tsukiyomi from existence. “I still wonder how you got two of his ride watches from him it never came up in the show I saw in my reality,” I told him frowning. “Woz was the one who handed them to me. Before he left the resistance and became oma zi-o’s prophet” said geiz with a sigh. “So who was that creep in blue you ran into when you beat that monster flash had become” asked sunset turning to me. “That was Swartz the leader of the time jackers a group of time travelers that split off from the resistance each having some form of time manipulation. Their ultimate goal is to rewrite time by making their own candidate to become the demon king of 2068 with them as the power behind the throne. Mainly by stealing the powers of past Kamen riders like Kiryu sento and putting them into different people rewriting time. Another Rider Build was taken by the childlike heure who saved flash from getting run over by a car last year and in exchange offered him a contract. Another Riders are monstrous versions of Kamen riders and can only be beaten with the same power. Which normally is difficult if the original rider’s history is erased so they can’t fight in the process. Luckily I can gain the powers of the previous riders by handing them blank ride watches to restore their memories a bit and thus their powers into the watch.” I told them motioning to the ride watches I set onto the table from our personal watches and the Build era watches currently we have along with Geiz’s drive and ghost ride watches. “What wasn’t normal and didn’t happen in the show is that the energy of the Another build ride watch formed extra ride watches when only the build and cross z ride watches should exist here. Which brings a theory that may explain why that happened. When I was brought to this world it may be possible the power of zi-o got scattered and the Another ride watches are drawing those fragments to it forming these ride watches. From both heroes and villains. " I told the listening group. “But how did sunset become a Rider herself that is what is confusing me as she wasn’t a rider when she trained me in the resistance” asked geiz. “Simple she went fully into her mother instincts enough she reversed the effects the element of magic had on her and with being in close proximity to me for a whole year with my own ride watch had influenced the magic that changed her into forming a similar power alongside tapping into her own element of harmony. To you guys, you remember why we went into the year 2017 to stop flash alongside sento and ryuga but for everyone else, they saw what would have happened if I wasn’t around. That’s just my best guess.” I told him. Before any more could be said a green portal opened up and some card fell out and landed in my hand. I could hear some kind of message from it. “My name is Yume Hideki, Kamen rider cyber if you need help protecting your world or just need a friend just give me a call” "Who in the world is Yume Hideki?" I asked as the name sounded familiar but as soon as the name left my lips the card glowed and a green portal opened letting a purple haired teen fall onto the ground. He wore a regular set of clothes as in a black coat over a blue shirt and jeans. His eyes were a silver color and hugging his back was what looked like a young dragon with a red gem on its forehead. "Okay that was odd I won't lie first time summoned to boot need to work on my landings and serene why did you latch on to me like that!" the teen said with a groan as he stood up. I just had my jaw dropped as well now I realized why that name felt familiar and this was now awkward. For the teen was a fictional character I created back around Kamen rider ex-aid's run and when Build was just rumored on the net. So yeah I'm a bit surprised I was meeting a character I made right now. "Okay, where are we because I don't recognize the place," said the teen who had to be Yume and why did he have a dragon hanging onto his back. "Yume," I asked blinking my eyes and catching his attention as the teen seemed to recognize two of the group now that he knew he wasn't alone. "Huh, Applejack and rarity? Wow, you both look different. Oh, right multiverse got to remember that" the teen said chuckling. "Okay I'm confused how do you know us a partner," asked Applejack. "Hold on let me check something," said the teen waving his hand over his buckle which I noted was the ganbadriver from ganbarizing. How did he get that as I didn't write to him with one as far as I remember? A holographic screen appeared and he read what was on it and blinked in surprise. "This can't be right in a different universe alright but one that's directly connected to mine and it says here is in the past by about over eighty years. Don't tell me displaced can end up in connected worlds and the tokens can end up in the past of their own worlds. Well, my world does have a thinner dimensional wall compared to other displaced that's for sure" said Yume and everyone grew confused. "Yume Xavier Hideki explain what is going on now and what are you talking about"I snapped at him making him jump and look right at me. "How in the world do you know the middle name I haven't told anyone in Equestria about my middle name and the only one who might know is Surprise," asked Yume wide-eyed. "I'll explain that if you explain what you're talking about in return and going to give us a headache trying to understand how, "I said deadpan. "Right well as you know my name is Yume Hideki and this girl clinging to my back is serene a chimera of three beings that fused on entering Equestria. A rathelos, a xenomorph and a third being I didn't recognize right off the bat. As you have my token I guess your this world's displaced. Like you, I'm someone who was taken from their world and placed in a different one. And we are not the only ones in this situation. There are hundreds or thousands of us in different equestrian though this is the first time I am meeting a displaced in their home universe. Didn't expect it to be the past and connected to the Equestria I'm from though" he said making all of us stare at him. "Right well I'm James McCain and as you seem to already know rarity and Applejack the others are my girlfriend sunset shimmer, rainbow dash, pinkie pie, Fluttershy, and me and sunset's daughter from fifty years from now tsukiyomi and her best friend geiz. Me, sunset, tsukiyomi and geiz are Kamen riders as well. I got zi-o, sunset is solar, tsukiyomi and geiz share their rider names with their own" I said motioning to each of the group I mentioned. "I never heard of those riders," Yume said confused. "Oh right your from 2016 back when Build was just rumored on the net," I said sheepishly. Of course, he wouldn't know of zi-o. 'okay, seriously how do you know me" asked Yume raising his eyebrow. "I'm a writer before I got displaced. You were actually a character I made around ex-aid's run I was planning on making an original story based around your life and dealing with supernatural forces. Much like the immortal and ever young kitten your friend geo owns"I told him looking sheepish. He looked stunned. "Okay was not expecting that," said rainbow as everyone nodded. "Well it's a wide multiverse it's to be expected that some writers end up meeting their creations at some point just look at recreators," said Yume and I nodded as that was an apt example. "So how did you end up in Equestria over eighty years from now," I asked. "Well, I was waiting at a convention for geo to bring me my prop for the con when he was running late. I was going to participate in an event there for a skit when he comes running up saying someone stole the prop and he found it in the trash only by the time he got there we missed our slot for the event and I left for home feeling rather ticked. I examined the belt finding it wasn't the prop but a working driver. Next thing I know I'm in Equestria meeting a grown-up spike who was married to Equestria's rarity as both are a unicorn and dragon there. I even met their daughter sparity. That was yesterday for me. Not long after I woke up I got a vision of applejack jr the daughter of Applejack being attacked by combat men. Turned out shocker appeared in that world due to the thin dimensional barrier. I ended up fighting serene in a larger state and purified her into her current state when I had to fight Kamen rider glaive who was going to take her to shocker for experiments. As Kamen rider cyber I naturally got in the way and beat him. Then I met twilight's son dawn and learned aj jr was half human. She has the ability to convert her friends into weapons like in soul eater. That night I had to fight night rouge where I met up with a Kamen rider ghost displaced called Alex who was known as Kamen rider shade who is dealing with other Kamen rider things in his Equestria. Got a power ranger there as well. That was when I learned about the displaced and sent out my own token one of my base change cards for my driver. I'm not sure what else is going on besides just before I got summoned I left aj jr trying to attack rarity because she had what looked like something called a nightmare form. I can see ghosts like Fluttershy's daughter Eden and found out rarity was pregnant with her second kid. Things have been crazy and chaotic for my first two days so far" Yume said. "That's a lot to take in especially as twilight and spike just went back to Equestria not too long ago," I told him. "Ah, so this is the world beyond the mirror twilight owns! I heard about that from spike" said Yume as he had that realization look on his face. "Great now you got me remembering that Kamen rider ryuga will make an appearance at some point for me. I'll tell you about Kamen rider zi-o later" I told the character I technically made. Yep, there is the headache I mentioned. "Anyway, I think I know what caused the weakened barrier between your Equestria and the rest of the multiverse. It may be possible oma zi-o a supposed evil future version of me used the fact he is literally a demon king of time and space to take over the world and with the powers of twenty Kamen riders and their histories gone the sheer power must have weakened the barrier especially with decade's power"I told Yume. "That would explain how applejack ended up in dark souls in my time," said Yume shocking me and the rest. "She went into that game!" asked rainbow as the local applejack went a bit pale. "Dear lord I'm going to pity my counterpart," said Applejack. "Yeah, that would explain why her daughter is half human. To her, two years went by when in Equestria it took seventy years" Yume said with a wince. "So seeing as you mentioned twilight, rarity, and Applejack I'm guessing they are still alive in your time" sunset asked. "Yep rainbow, pinkie, and Fluttershy are not around. Sweetie Belle is still around as a mechanical being though" Yume said making rarity blink. "Huh so we better get to bed and have some time to get over that discussion," I said and Yume took the other guestroom as the girls went home. The next day we headed to school with Yume following explaining to me what he knows about tokens. "That explains a lot it might be wise to see if you can ask your twilight about if she met me in the past when you get back," I told the purple haired teen. "Hey haven't you heard some people have vanished when they played a game for a few days now," said a teen to their friend passing us and we shared a look with each other. We met up with everyone else and I gave them a look. "The time Jackers are on the move again this time it's another ex-aide. We are going to have to beat a game just to encounter him and the real ex-aid. I don't know how he still has his rider powers at the same time as another ex-aid though"I told the group. "If you need someone to beat a game I'm your guy," Yume said smirking. "We need to meet a classmate and take them to seito university hospital to get a code to even enter the game area another ex-aide is hiding in, "I told him deadpan. That made the ganbarider look shocked. Finding the classmate who sunset identified as button mash was trying to play an unwinnable game and was attacked by another ex-aid we took him to the specified hospital and I saw Hiro aka Kamen rider brave. He led us to the ward for this case and geiz found the note in German. Handing Yume the game console and the code for the game we as in me, sunset, geiz, tsukiyomi, and Yume found ourselves in a warehouse with another ex-aide. The five of us pulled out our drivers. ZIKU/ERA DRIVER! GANBADRIVER! Four of us rotated our primary ride watches while Yume pressed a button popping out a tray for his pulled out change card. Pressing the ride to watch buttons we got ready. ZI-O! GEIZ! TSUKIYOMI! SOLAR! "Henshin!' the five of us said. Cyber! Sync up rider! Rider time! Kamen rider zi-o/geiz/tsukiyomi/solar! Once our respective transformations finished I turned to see Yume was now in a base green ganbarider suit. "Let's go and restore time!" I said pointing at another ex-aide as geiz pulled out the driver ride watch while me, solar and tsukiyomi pulled out the build, cross-z, and grease ride watches. Rider time! Kamen rider zi-o!/tsukiyomi!/geiz! Armor time! Best match build!/drive DRIVE!/ robot jelly! Grease! Era time! Kamen rider solar! Legend time! Wake up burning! Cross-z! "Time to try out shade's power" cyber said pulling out the change card he gained from his driver. He pulled out the tray and slid in the card before pushing in the tray. CYBER! SYNC UP SHADE! Was heard as the column formed as armor resembling shade's own armor formed and lined up before overlaying cyber's body forming the black and red shade synchro form. It resembled the ghost form a ganbarider can get but more like the actual rider as the face screen changed to mimic the persona of Kamen rider shade and included the shackles on the rider's arms. Taking out three cards cyber held up the device on his left arm and slid the cards in. Appearing next to him was glave, Chronos and the ride player from Kamen riders blade and ex-aid. The now eight riders charged at the Another Rider only for the Another rider to quickly beat glave, ride player and Chronus while the five had a bit more of an easier time fighting the Another rider. "Okay I really need to see about upping my training this is just like night rouge all over again! Yume said annoyed at how this battle was going. He gripped the face screen and took it off before flipping it around entering burst mode when he put it back. Soon enough the five with that power up against Another ex-aid leaving a person that made sunset go wide-eyed on the temporary defeat of the Another rider. "That's shining armor twilight's brother!" said sunset shocked. "Cyber does he have any kids in your time," I asked the ganbarider. "A daughter flurry heart from what I know from princess twilight," Yume said having asked dawn about his cousin once. Just than emu arrived and transformed into ex-aid while I facepalmed at this. "Emu-sempai! You do know we can have Hiro look over his daughter right?" I told the doctor annoyed as well Hiro does live up to his title of a top surgeon. That made ex-aid and shining look up surprised. "You know me," asked emu. "Considering we are Kamen riders ourselves we just want to make sure he stops spreading the bugster virus on people he even assaulted a young kid in our school not too long ago!" I said deadpan. That said I turned to the cop. "You also insult the badge you wear by doing that what happened to your vow to protect life! Now emu please hand me that ride watch you have so I can restore time please!" I told emu making him go wide-eyed as he pulled out the ex-aid ride watch. "How did you," asked emu. "Like you, I want to protect those around me but doing this is going against your hypocratic oath emu. us fellow riders have to keep things safe for everyone around us and I won't let you inadvertently go back on what it means to be a Kamen Rider!" I told emu before moving to stand in front of him. "Hah well said use my power well," said emu handing me the ride watch. "Don't worry life is just a game that anyone can clear with no continues you just need to remember what path you are on at times and need a reminder on occasion," I told him making him chuckle as I said his catchphrase. I turned to the others. "Our next stop is 2016," I told them grinning as we left the game area. running to the time machines we entered the time streams heading to 2016 specifically the day emu met hiro. > game on! 2016 resolve of the king! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- We arrived at the past just as kamen riders brave and ex-aid met and defeated the mage bugster. The group exited the time majins and walked to the riders with sunset explaining to the two the current situation in our time. “And that’s basically it someone is altering history and using a father’s worry for his child to do horrible things” I finished. " Specifically my friends brother and niece” rainbow said as this time the rest of our friends joined us in the past. " We need to find the version of shining armor from this year quick. Though I can’t believe we are at the point in time way early in the events surrounding you guys. It means the time jackers chose to pick the time there are few riders to interfere” I said frowning. " That’s why we are here to increase our odds” yume said though he had a eye twitch as seline popped her head over his shoulder. “Serene when did you join us better yet how did you follow me when you should have been back at the shop” yume asked looking at the composite wyvern. " Has she even spoke to you at all?” I asked confused. “She’s particularly shy” yume sighed as said wyvern looked away blushing. " Right we’ll help miss what’s the child’s name” asked emu. “Flurry heart according to yume and no I have no idea why people don’t share a family name back in our town only Applejack has one as her family is known as the Apple clan” I said. " Right Hiro San do what you can I’m going with these folks” emu said as we went to find the another rider which wasn’t hard as poppy joined us. Soon enough we found another ex-aid with a bunch of summoned mooks. “Let’s restore time and space!” I said grabbing my ride watch with geiz as sunset grabbed hers though when tsukiyomi grabbed hers it shined and altered a bit making her wonder what that was about. “Henshin!” Six voices said as they went through their transformations. Rider time! Kamen rider Zi-o! Rider time! Kamen rider geiz! Era time! Kamen rider Solar! Cyber! Sync up rider! Let’s game! Mucha game! What’s your name? I’m a Kamen rider! Gatchan! Level up mighty jump! Mighty kick! Mighty action x! Rider time! Kamen rider tsukiyomi! Tsu-ki-yo-mi! Was heard as confused the rest of us turned out heads to see tsukiyomi’s armor had vastly changed looking like her theme was a moondial compared to sunset’s sundial and changed into her own unique style with her cape and a white skirt incorporated into it as her face plate was now light pink with a crescent moon on the right side. “What in the world” I asked confused. “Did her armor get altered because she wasn’t fully connected to her ride watch until now?” Geiz asked. " Still let’s clear this with no continues” emu and yume both said and I gave yume a amused look. “Of course you of all people would pull that with the original rider your system is from a arcade game!” I said shaking my head. " Well that makes emu my sempai wouldn’t it” yume said his tone showing he was grinning under his helmet. Pulling out our weapons we charged into the fray with tsukiyomi finding she can now form constructs of light like a sword as she and sunset fought together at some mooks while me, cyber and ex-aid fought another ex-aid and geiz was fighting another group of mooks. I honestly lost track of what was going on but I saw the moment emu lost his powers but yume was knocked into him making contact with the gamer driver generating a bunch of cards. “These are the rest of the ex-aid riders!” Yume said as he caught them and looked back up. " Time for back up” yume said taking three and slid them into his gauntlet. Appearing in pixels was Kamen riders poppy, Lazer and paradox. Paradox in level 99 shook his head before looking to Emu. “Oi emu what the hell is going on!” Paradox asked making us look at him. “Yume did you somehow summon parad to the past instead of summoning a copy of him?” I asked surprised. " I think I did how did that even happen” yume asked as confused as I was. " Do I know you” emu asked the red and blue rider. " Parad we will explain things later help emu regain his powers!” I called to the rider. Parad spotted the another rider and things clicked. " Oh it’s the bastard who forcefully took me from emu! Well now I’m raring for some payback!” " What?” Emu asked. " He’s your bugster emu, parad is the reason you can be ex-aid without the surgery the others needed to use the driver and gashats” yume explained. Poppy tilted her head at the lone female rider. " Yume you just had to summon Poppy’s future self We are at the first week emu was ex-aid” I deadpanned at the ganba rider. " Sorry but she has the same driver as chronus I figured she has the pause ability too” yume said. “Well time to get into the game myself” I said pulling out the ex-aid ride watch and activated it. Ex-aid! Placing it into the driver I unlocked it and gave it a spin. Rider time! Kamen rider Zi-o! Appearing before me was the ex-aid armor with it’s hands being guantlets resembling the gashacon breakers and shoulders being blank gashats the rest had slight resemblances to ex-aid. Giving a kick the armor separated and struck another ex-aid as I jumped. Armor time! Level up! Ex-aid! As the announcement finished I landed on the nearby roof as the armor was put on and I turned around as woz made his appearence. “Rejoice! He is the heir to the power of all riders and at this moment he has gained the power of yet another Kamen rider and his name is Kamen rider Zi-o ex-aid armor” woz said making me tilt my head to give him a look. " Are you going to do that Everytime I use a new ride watch” I asked him. “Who’s he” asked yume. " Long story” geiz, sunset, tsukiyomi and I all told him. Jumping down I sent a punch at another ex-aid as paradox was sent back detransforming into parad and looking up the bugster became particles that entered emu. Emu gasped as suddenly he was back as ex-aid. “Emu! Let’s send this mockery away and bring back the person trapped inside” I suggested looking to him as one of my guantlets came off so I can press both buttons. Finish time! Ex-aid! Emu nodded and put his gashat into the kimewaza slot and pressed the button twice as I unlocked and spun my driver. Kimewaza! Mighty critical strike! Critical time break! Leaping off both of us did a double variant of ex-aids own rider kick making shining armor fall as the Another ride watch shattered. “Shining don’t worry flurry is going to be alright we asked a surgeon to look at her so please no more Faustian deals with people who can stop time” I said detransforming with the others. “Right I’ll try and keep that in mind man twilight can’t ever know what happened she would ring my clock infront of the police department for this” shining said as I helped him to stand up as parad joined us. “Yeah I have the feeling we will meet her at some point we already know a alternate dimension version of her back in our time two years from now so it’s possible” I said and shining nodded as after what he experienced he can see it. I turned to emu and handed him a blank ridewatch. “Got to keep a stable timeloop so hold onto this until you run into us again two years from now.” I said before turning as the another ridewatch’s remains glowed forming the other ex-aid ride watch set minus gemn before me and I grabbed them. “Well time for us to head home and for gods sake shining don’t beat yourself up for this just use it as motivation to be a better cop and be a better person” I told him as the time majins appeared and we entered with parad joining us since he didn’t want to run into his past self. Soon enough we were back and relaxing at the school. “So that’s what happened” parad said sitting next to emu. “Yep and now we know how emu kept his powers when another ex-aid came about in our time. That always confused me in my world when I watched the show I’m now living out” I said giving yume a look. " How was I supposed to know I accidentally closed a plot hole in zi-o’s story with that” yume pointed out. " So what cards did you get besides Lazer, poppy and parad here” I asked. " Let’s see I got brave, gemn, fuu and a form for me!” Yume said going wide eyed as he pulled out his cards. Indeed one of the cards showed Kamen rider cyber in the ex-aid ganbarider based armor. “Well today is turning to be full of surprises” yume said. " Another one is underway already yume hideki. According to my book you guys are needed in Equestria at celestia’s school for gifted unicorns” woz said appearing next to yume making him jump. I blinked as I facepalmed. “Oh hell it’s the two for one another rider” I groaned. " What do you mean?” Asked sunset giving me a look. " This next foe is both another fourze and another faiz! If we don’t find the ridewatches for fourze and faiz even if we have one of those ride watches the another rider won’t be properly defeated unless we have both as it will just switch between fourze and faiz on defeat” I explained. “Correct and says here while you can find the faiz ride watch you need a displaced’s help for the fourze ride watch” woz said. " Huh so there might be multiple fourze displaced out there” I mused wondering if we would find a token at the school. “Looks like I’m messaging princess twilight for opening the portal” sunset said pulling out her journal and getting to work. " Huh it would be nice to see what ponyville is like in the past the place looked very nice in my time so I’m curious how different it is” yume said. > space connection 55540 2011/2003 part 1 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It didn’t take long for Celestia to get back to us about coming back and I suggested she give twilight her old journal with the mirror portal to let twilight use it’s connection to open the portal. Celestia agreed and a few hours later I was leaning on the mirror when I suddenly went through and found myself in the golden oaks library with sunset, geiz, tsukiyomi, woz and yume with Serene following. I was turned into a humaniod brown unicorn with my outfit while on my coat having the emblem of Kamen rider Zi-o now on the area above my heart. Geiz was now a red earth pony with his hair and outfit with a pair of clock hands as his emblem. Tsukiyomi was a white alicorn in her outfit with her emblem being a moon dial. Woz ended up a black Pegasus with his outfit with his emblem being his orma Advent calendar. The only one to remain human was yume. Standing around us was twilight and her friends. “Sunset! I thought it was just going to be you for a visit according to Celestia” twilight said confused. " Celestia decided to have us be a surprise it seems” I muttered pushing myself up. “Wow nice to see what twilight, Applejack, and rarity look like around this time period” yume noted as Serene hugged his back. " Sunset who’s he and how is he still human?” Asked twilight. " Im yume hedeki Kamen rider cyber I’m like James only I ended up in Equestria about eighty years from now the dimensional barrier gets thin in that time. Only ones of you still around is you, Applejack and rarity. Never met the others. I’m friends with some of the next generation of you six” yume said. " What I want to know is why my daughter is a alicorn” sunset said staring at tsukiyomi. " Think I’m the king of time you become the queen of time in my world a princess is the hier of the king and queen. So tsukiyomi is the princess of time” I deadpanned. " Oh right such a powerful concept would effect how tsukiyomi would be when she crosses over” sunset noted. " No wonder people called me princess when I crossed over when I was younger when mom visited Equestria” tsukiyomi muttered. " So what brings you guys over” asked twilight. “Remember when woz mentioned another riders in Equestria? We got both another faiz and fourze appearing so we need to find a school” I explained. " Celestia's school for gifted unicorns!” Said twilight catching on. “Hold on what are you talking about? Another riders?” Asked rainbow looking lost. “It wasn’t something I felt was my place to tell” twilight admitted. " Right... Oh and word of warning don’t keep the portal and journal in this library future you told me a future foe of yours blew up the library so if you want the mirror and journal intact put them someplace out of the target area” yume said to twilight. " Thanks for the warning” twilight nodded. " So who is the next generation of our little group” asked rarity looking at yume. " Well for one you and spikes daughter sparity, Applejack junior, apple Eden, Ariel ace, prince Dawn, and surprise. Applejack Jr is half human, Ariel ace is the granddaughter of spitfire, soarin, daring Doo and ahuizotle. Eden is fluttershy’s granddaughter who can see spirits, Dawn unknowingly recreated a system of magic from the negima world, sparity has both a unicorn and dragon form that is pretty much it for the next gen of you guys. From what I heard rainbow never had a kid but reincarnated as Ariel ace. Things have apparently gotten crazy since rarity and Spike moved into ponyville to settle down” yume ticked off. " Wait me and Spike have a daughter!” Rarity went wide eyed with shock. Yume pulled out two photos of a white and purple dragoness with a white and green unicorn. “This is sparity... Let’s just say somehow you became like nightmare moon but stayed yourself somehow and your former nightmare persona somehow reincarnated itself as sparity. I got the story out of Spike when he explained why they left a few decades before I arrived.” Yume informed. " Whoo Nelly I can believe it” Applejack said. " Why does she need glasses” asked rarity. " Side effect of the nightmare form means she normally sees a nightmarish version of the world around her. The glasses are enchanted to let her see the world as everyone else does” yume answered shrugging. " How do you know that” Spike asked. " I asked her and she told me that herself.” Yume deadpanned. “Right so canterlot” said sunset trying to bring everyone back on track. With that we exited the library and yume blinked. Ponyville in the past for him was a lot smaller as ponyville was practically a megacity in his time but here it was just a small town still. The group went to the train station to head to canterlot buying tickets the group was soon on their way while tsukiyomi had to deal with shocked stares her way due to her alicorn form. On the way we caught twilight and her friends up on what was going on since we last saw twilight. “Wait you created yume here as a fictional character” asked twilight looking at me in surprise. " It’s a large multiverse anything can happen. I didn’t expect to actually meet him or him becoming a rider” I said shrugging. " Wouldn’t that make you his dad?” Asked rainbow making me jerk in surprise. " Considering im a orphan in my world and he did make my world that about sums things up” yume agreed before looking to tsukiyomi. " Guess that makes me your brother” he added. “Great so my family is even more stranger than usual. Seeing as riders apparently run in it” I groaned looking at the ceiling. " Hey I’m not that bad” yume said. " Point kusaka is the worst to be related to” I agreed making those of us aware of faiz to shudder in agreement. “Kusaka?” Asked sunset. “The original Kamen rider kaixa and not a particularly good person. He was cause of so much miscommunication that geiz if he didn’t find out tsukiyomi is my daughter would have a similar personality to trying to kill me at all costs to prevent his future” I said pointing at geiz. Geiz paled as woz showed him something in his book. " Thank God I’m not like him! That guy is supposed to be dead though” geiz said once he recovered. " Another faiz accidentally prevented his death so be prepared for a migraine of him trying to kill a student the another rider has a connection to when we can just change the past so he has no reason to become another rider. Thank God we will meet takumi the original faiz so kusaka will be kept somewhat in line” I said. " But you said something about fourze” twilight asked. " According to woz it’s a Kamen rider fourze displaced so I will find a token so we can get rid of another faiz. Only the power of the original rider can defeat the another rider. It’s just our luck this another rider has two ride watches and switch’s between fourze and faiz as a result on defeat. Geiz you need the faiz ride watch as the show/timeline I saw had you use it while I get the fourze ride watch” I said relaxing. " Wait fourze... Are you talking about jack? Wasn’t he teaching at canterlot University” asked pinkie blinking. " Oh come one this is the world the fourze displaced is from” both me and yume asked shocked. The mane six pulled out six driver’s themselves. " He made us these making us Kamen riders contrail, Galaxy, nebula, Nova, grav, and flare” twilight informed. " And why didn’t you use your driver when we met twilight” I asked her eye twitching. " I forgot to pack it when I went to the Crystal empire after I became a princess. Jack made these for if we couldn’t use the elements” she sheepishly admitted. " So who is jack” asked sunset. “Jack saraph is someone we met who ended up on the moon just before Luna was banished apparently they spent all thousand years doing therapy for Luna and studying cosmic energy. Jack teaches ponies and anyone how to use cosmic energy. He’s married to Luna with both having four kids who were fragments of Luna’s cosmic energy that formed Astro switches. They were the stars that aided their escape. They were the shadowbolts. Besides the zoidarts on occasion jack loves teaching” twilight said before I facepalmed. " Once was surprising but twice! Yume your about to meet another ‘brother’ I groaned. " You wrote and thought up jack didn’t you” pinkie realized what I meant. “Yep he was a former farmer training to be a astronaught but lived in Texas while yume here is from their worlds Japan. He stumbled onto Kamen rider fourze online and became inspired to become a astronaught” I said confirming that. " Explains how he knew his way around a farm” Applejack said chuckling. " I started writing him around the end of fourzes series I got really inspired by gentaro for his character” I said. " Still why in the world am I meeting characters I created? Who next geo hikari?” I asked as seriously this is becoming a running gag I can tell. " Huh now when I get back to my time I got to contact him seeing as shocker has popped up in my era I wouldn’t mind having the backup... Plus ask your future selves where you left the driver’s. You seem to have forgotten about being riders in my time so I can get them to the new elements of harmony” yume said. " Considering me, rainbow and Fluttershy are dead in your time you might have to ask my granddaughter where I might have left the three of us driver’s” pinkie said as frankly she would ask her family to watch over the driver’s of her friends if they passed away. “Applejacks might be destroyed though. She ended up in a universe called dark souls where she met her husband... Lordran isn’t a pleasant place so never hurts to be prepared. Two years there was seventy here which explains how your still alive in my time” yume said with a wince. " Ah shoot how bad” asked Applejack. " Cursed to being undead having to fight other undead and fighting demons just to reignite a flame that keeps the land going? Yeah that bad” yume said with a wince. " Fewments I’ll take that warning to heart then” Applejack said. Soon enough we arrived and headed our way to the school for gifted unicorns meeting up with Celestia at the entrance. With her was four ponies one looking like a younger blue and navy version of rainbow and another a younger and teal with dark blue version of Fluttershy. The other two resembled a varying shades of blue spitfire and the last resembled daring do. “Ah good to see you made it okay... And who is this alicorn with you I don’t think we met” said Celestia looking surprised at tsukiyomi. " I’m tsukiyomi McCann I’m James and sunset’s daughter fifty years from now. Dad has powers over time I slightly inherited resulting in me being a alicorn when I cross over from earth” tsukiyomi explained. " She has the ability to freeze time and can selectively leave people uneffected which is handy for saving people from falling debris” I said. " I see” said Celestia giving her student a smile. " Has twilight told you about my supposed future?” I asked Celestia. “Yes but I didn’t think what has been going on here was connected until you contacted me” said Celestia. " Yeah things have been hectic. So can we meet jack? We’re going to need his help if we are going to find the another rider going around” I said. " Sure dad is having lunch in the rabbit hutch around this time” the spitfire like Pegasus said. " New moon” the rainbow dash like one rolled her eyes giving her elder sister a look. “Fine harvest you lead the way blue you let Mom know we have guests hunter you good with going with blue?” New moon said looking at her sisters. With nods the four pegasi split up into pairs as Celestia looked amused. “My niece’s seem excited to meet newcomers like you” Celestia mused making the pair blush. " Technically we are family in me and tsukiyomi’s case. James here apparently wrote about me and jack in his world and well that makes him our dad as a result. I’m yume Xavier hideki Kamen rider cyber I end up in ponyville eighty years from now as a displaced. Twilight seems to have taken over for you and Luna in my time” yume said. " That means your my uncle!” Harvest said wide eyed. " And that means your my aunt and grandpa” new moon said looking at tsukiyomi and me. " Oh kouta I’m a grandpa at eighteen years old this is one sentence I never expected to say in my life” I said looking at the sky. " Don’t worry my king at least your relatives have Equestria in safe hands” woz placated looking at his book. " King” asked harvest looking surprised. " Kamen rider Zi-o known as the king of time and space... Which means I have to deal with the headache that is timetravel a lot. Yume didn’t even know tokens can send someone to the past of their own worlds or worlds connected to them when I got his token” I said. " Finding out he pulled a recreators with me and now jack is putting things mildly” yume said. " Oh we just watched that last week” harvest mused snickering. Entering a shed the group found themselves at a station that showed the moon and laying next to a man in a blue suit with brown hair and blue eyes was a zorua and a small wyvern with princess Luna looking up as she fiddled with her own moon based driver I could see was designed after meteor. “Ah dear we got company it seems” Luna said. Jack looked up and blinked finding yume was tilting his head. “Okay now I can believe James did write you besides the eye color you are identical” yume nodded. " What” jack asked. " Recreators situation I’m the guy who wrote both of you into existance. Your both from the same world. James McCann currently displaced as Kamen rider Zi-o this purple haired teen here is yume hideki considered to be your Younger brother as I wrote him after you so to speak. He ends up here 80 years from now as a Kamen rider himself” I explained. “... Dear when were you going to tell me your father was going to visit” Luna asked shocked. " I didn’t know I even had a pa!” Jack said wide eyed. " Oh right your backstory had both your parents killed by a thrown grenade into a barn a year after you were born. Sometimes it’s hard keeping track of which backstory I give characters. Oh God skyline may throttle me if we ever meet” I said with a wince. " Skyline” asked jack. " A character as a test on how well I can do a female character... Had her be the lone survivor of a plane crash her parents sacrificed themselves to land safely only for the engine to explode. She was lucky the blast sent her into the ocean with enough momentum to reach the shore of liberty island. She was born in the international skyline between America and Japan. Hence her name skyline” I explained. " Huh so I might have a sister” yume said nodding in understanding. " So what brings you here father” Luna asked and I deadpanned at rainbow. “Now look at what you started rainbow your counterpart won’t let me live this down if Luna’s counterpart on the other side of the mirror heard about this” I told her annoyed. " This is already awkward as I’m going to be the mother of tsukiyomi here I don’t think I’m able to handle the realization if James is now the father in law of princess Luna that makes me the mother in law” sunset pointed out before paling as what she said registered and fainted. “Whoops” rainbow said realizing just how awkward things got between Celestia and sunset as both registered that statement. “Figures it was rainbow who started this mess still our family is just as crazy no matter how we are related” jack said giving her a unamused look. " Yes still back to my question” asked Luna. “Ah right we came here to help with the assault on the female students going on here. Luna I’m sure Celestia told you about why we are dealing with time travel right?” I asked looking at Celestia who froze as sweat started breaking out on her. “Sister... What did you forget to tell me” Luna knew her elder sister well to recognize that expression. One explanation later and the saraph family facepalmed as Luna leveled Celestia a flat look. “Tia... You are going to be spending time in the sun for a week once we are done with this crisis” Luna informed looking Celestia in the eye not pleased such info was withheld. The solar diarch slumped. “Still jack do you have a student named Karin enrolled if we can find her we can find another faize not far from her” I asked. " Huh how did you know about miss lulamoon” asked jack. " Related to Trixie? Guess we got a lead as to who is the two for one another rider now” I said sharing a look with our group. “Karin should be at Gym class right now” jack said looking at his watch. With that all of us started moving to the gym once we went back to Equestria only to see another fourze approach Karin. “Trixie stop! Is this about what happened seven years ago?” Karin said backing away. And to my surprise takumi and kusaka arrived looking like pony versions both earth ponies. “Guys we better hurry and Karin just confirmed Trixie is the Another rider” I said as we each put on our drivers. Zi-o!/geiz!/tsukiyomi!/solar! Was heard as the four of us activated our ride watches, yume pulled out his change card, while twilight and the others got ready to activate their driver’s as jack flipped down the red troggles on his driver. 3-2-1 was heard as each of us took a deep breath as we unlocked our drivers as yume set in his change card. “Henshin!” All of us called out as our armors formed on us. Rider time! Kamen rider zi-o/geiz/tsukiyomi! Tsu-ki-yo-mi! Era time! Kamen rider Solar! Cyber! Sync up Rider! Added to the electronic beats our fellow riders appeared. Fourze looked us over. “Huh so your theme is watches?” Asked fourze. “Well I am the king of time in tsukiyomi and geiz’s time. Sunset and tsukiyomi are sun and moon dials respectfully” I said as I looked at fourze. I looked over twilight and her friends as twilight was in a lavender bodysuit much like fourze only her helmet was a spiral Galaxy in shape like meteors. Rainbow was much like meteor in design in cyan with her armor more feminine, pinkie was well pink and astrod themed while Applejack resembled super rocket states color wise but had a more sun theme, rarity was crystalline white with nadeshiko like armor. Fluttershy was shuttle based and had the shield module. Luna was more like fourze just inversed colors of the base states and the black of her mask was navy. “Alright let’s restore time!” I shouted as we charged as Trixie summoned out dustards and riotroopers to fight back leaving me and fourze with takumi fighting another fourze while the others handled the mooks. Though a few moments into the battle it was getting clear we needed to change the tires. “Guys time to kick things up a notch!” I called pulling out the build ride watch making geiz pull out the cross z ride watch as sunset pulled out rouge and tsukiyomi pulled out grease. Rider time! Era time! Kamen rider Zi-o, Kamen rider geiz, Kamen rider tsukiyomi, Kamen rider Solar! Armor time! Best match! Build, wake up burning cross z! Robots in grease! Legend time! Crack up Rogue burah! A cocophony of noise sound as each of us entered the build set of armors. “The law of victory is set!” I called sending my drill into the side of another faize. “I get the feeling I can’t loose” geiz said as he slashed with his ax. “Well might as well try this” cyber said putting in a new card. Cyber! Level up rider Ex-aid! Was heard as the ex-aid based ganbarider armor replaced his default form. With that the battle continued before another faize vanished using launcher to cause a smokescreen. “Shoot!” I said looking around. I went wide eyed as I saw kusaka approaching Karin. “Kusaka don’t even think about it!” I snarled making him freeze as geiz shuddered. “Tsukiyomi I’m getting reminded of the one time orma Zi-o lost his temper when someone tried to kill your mother” geiz said obviously caught in a flashback. " Well he’s like shining armor than can’t stand to see his loved ones hurt” twilight noted. “It was because of that mom knew the man she loved was still in there somewhere in orma Zi-o.” Tsukiyomi muttered. " Explains why she chewed me out before I ran off to the past when I came up with the stupid idea to kill Zi-o before he becomes the tyrant” geiz shuddered. " That reminds me mom has a message... Take a time majin without permission again and you can kiss being able to have kids goodbye” tsukiyomi informed. Sunset gave her a look. " That does sound like something I would say” sunset admitted. Still they gave a start as I walked past dragging kusaka by his jacket clearly annoyed. “You were better when you died in 2003 kusaka because in my world you were so hated Japan had a day celebrating your death” I coldly informed making the asshole pale at that info. Takumi looked confused. “He’s not kidding kaixa day is a thing and he deserved it for intentionally causing miscommunication to the point you guys couldn’t work together at all” jack winced. " And trying to get you killed by making you give up being a rider because of his own issues” yume muttered. " Yeah that would make James be ticked” geiz muttered. “James!” Jack called before tossing him the fourze ride watch. " Now I know why I woke up last week holding that for some reason” jack said shaking his head. Takumi pulled out the faiz ride watch and handed it to geiz. “If he thinks that can help you better hold onto this” said takumi. " Right geiz you head to 2003 I got 2011 that way we can prevent Karin here from getting into a accident that forces some obscure ritual to keep her alive through the death of students the same horoscope she is” I called back making Karin blink. " You knew” asked Karin looking at me. “I deal with timetravel timelines are easy to figure out after a while” I shot back as the time majins flew over as sunset joined me in one whith time while tsukiyomi joined geiz. Yume did had to catch new cards for fourze and faiz’s sets having brushed against both jack and takumi as he ran to catch up. I tossed kusaka over to takumi. “Watch him while we are gone” I said as we shot into the past. > Space connection 55540 2011/2003 part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- -2011- I landed the time majin and the three of us exited and we looked around seeing the school seven years in the past though somehow me and sunset has returned to human form. “I really hope the dimensional barrier isn’t starting to thin” I muttered as we noticed that. " It at least helps in case we run into any locals who might recognize me” sunset pointed out. " Right yume you handle saving Karin me and sunset will locate Trixie. Trixie must be a student at this point " I said before we split up as yume saw Karin and followed after her while we started looking for Trixie heading to the gym just in time to see hora shove the ride watch into Trixie turning her into Another fourze. “Let’s hope geiz and tsukiyomi can handle another faiz” I muttered as we both ran in. -with yume- Me and Serene took to the rooftops and I shared a look with the wyvern. “Serene can you make sure if she’s about to be hurt can you get her out to safety?” I asked my companion. The wyvern gave me a thumbs up a determined expression on her face. We looked down to see a explosion had caused a billboard to snap and head to Karin so I quickly transformed and summoned Cronus to stop time giving Serene the chance to get Karin out of danger alongside anyone else in the path of the billboard. Once clear Serene returned and I patted her head as ponies reacted to the sign having fallen while those about to be hit were confused on how they avoided it. “We just need to make sure Karin doesn’t give Trixie a reason to be attacking students and things will work out” yume said unaware Serene was blushing and beaming at the affection yume just gave her. -2003- Well geiz mused he and tsukiyomi was handling another faiz quite well but Trixie had made things difficult with misdirection. Forcing the two on a Chase through canterlot seriously what was with those smokescreens! Geiz hoped James and the others was having a better time than they were... -2011- I grunted as I was forced to ragdoll down the warehouse. “For gods sake! What has she been doing for all this time!” I asked pushing myself to my feet cause damn was Trixie tricky. “I’m seconding that who knew she was that much of a fighter” sunset agreed with a groan. " Let’s hope geiz managed to defeat another faiz so we can stop her” I muttered pulling out the fourze ride watch and activated it as I put it on my driver and unlocked it. Giving it a spin a shuttle shaped object formed and split appart donning me the fourze armor. Rider time! Kamen rider Zi-o! Armor time 3-2-1 fourze! “Iwae! He is the heir of all riders ruling over time and space! And his name is kamen rider Zi-o fourze armor. At this moment he has gained the power of fourze” woz announced making me sigh. " Really? Woz you just made her angry as what you just did can be considered upstaging and her day job is a Magician entertainer!” I told woz not amused. True enough another fourze was enraged going berserk as she charged at us. “I hope yume can get back to us quick before she decides to level the town” sunset muttered. -2003- Tsukiyomi was doing well in keeping another faiz busy as geiz activated his faiz ride watch and charged as the armor forms and overlayed his bad form. Rider time! Kamen rider geiz! Armor time! Complete faiz! Geiz used the faiz phone x as a gun letting tsukiyomi get clear as geiz inputted a code making the faiz pointer materialize before he pressed the crowns of his ride watches and unlocked the belt before giving it a spin. Finish time! Faiz! Exceed time burst! Jumping geiz performed the crimson drop as the pointer formed the red photon drill letting another faiz explode and destroying the ride watch. Trixie groaned as both riders left headeding back to 2018. -2011- I groaned as while I managed to knock Trixie out of the fourze form she had switched to faiz but looking up I gave a cheer as the faiz form crumbled to reveal fourze. “Alright geiz and tsukiyomi did it now to finish this!” I said pressing my advantage. I leapt as my armor reformed the shuttle shape and the rockets ignighted as I took another fourze to space just as yume arrived and looked up. “Huh that’s not something I see everyday” yume noted. Dislodging Trixie from the armor I pressed the crowns and spun my belt. Finish time! Fourze! Limit time break! “Rider spiral rocket!” I called angling the arm thrusters to spin me like a tornado as I shot at another fourze with a kick. With a whoosh we headed back to Equestria as I drilled through the another rider and landed with a skid next to sunset as Trixie collapsed as the another ride watch shattered as multiple lights spend around me forming the kaixa, delta, Orga, psyga, meteor and nadeshiko ride watches. “Phew that will take some getting used to” I said standing up as the watches rotated around me as yume caught the faiz set of rider cards. Shaking of my dizzyness we headed back to 2018 and exited to see geiz and tsukiyomi and the others also waiting. “Well that’s finished at least. Jack if you get time stop by canterlot high if you need to” I said smiling. Turning we saw kusaka and terumi started to fade out. “What’s going on!” Asked rainbow alarmed. “Time was just restored. Those two were dead to begin with and now that another faiz is beaten their going back to the afterlife. Though I get the feeling we will see them again” I said as the two vanished back into their place in history. “Well come on James we better get back to canterlot high. Who knows if the girls aren’t worried about where we gone” said sunset as the five riders nodded to jack. Jack caught a card from a portal making him look at it. “Oh my token! Well bro looks like you can call me if you want later” yume said waving to jack. “Again with this!” I asked. “Well dad our family is a bit strange to begin with” tsukiyomi said making me double take. " Did you just snark at me?” I asked surprised before I started chasing the two back towards ponyville with geiz and sunset following as we reentered the portal returning to canterlot high where our versions of the friends were waiting. Catching up didn’t take long though the girls did giggle at my expense about how my family keeps getting bigger. Sunset shook her head as I was going to have to get used to this. Unaware the the next event was right around the corner. For a new ring had appeared in James room. > Author's note > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Just a small update guys still waiting on a certain displaced kamen rider wizard story to update before I kick off the Wizard arc of this story. I recently got news from my sister that she got a new laptop which means her old one is now up for grabs and I asked her if I could have it. That's right after nearly two years I'm finally replacing my laptop and that means I don't have to rely on my phone or tablet for writing soon. That said I been busy doing activity kits from Cole vocational for things to do and once isolation here in eastvale ends I'm going to be busy just catching up with my family to work. So its going to be quite a busy year before I get that laptop. So to tide you guys over I'm going to put up a contest for this story. The contest is to make a character theme for sunset shimmer/ kamen rider Solar. The rules are simple: the song has to be fitting sunsets character and her growth, it can be any form of media like a actual music video to even clips fitting the moments of her growth. You can collaborate if you wish just to help make it flow or bounce ideas off of. And finally the song must be original and not a copyrighted song like most AMVs. The winner or winners if a collab effort wins gets to have their OCS become Another Riders in future arcs the winner will be announced by their song being used in the Wizard arc for sunsets battle and if I find the song fitting for it. Remember this contest is just for fun and to help me with figuring out who to cast as Another riders. I'm already lining up Another Gaim to be someone from rainbow rocks but not one of the Dazzlings so good luck everyone! > Authors note 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Okay so while I was waiting for a certain griffon wizards author they lost the files and after nearly a year the wait is going to be too much. So I'm going to ask for any other Kamen rider wizard displace is willing to crossover properly as I don't think I can stay patient at this point to continue. Other than that I'm finally replacing my laptop on the sixteenth so hopefully I can do enough there to be getting back into things and I'm still waiting for a theme for solar. That said I know you lot are being patient with my stories but in this case it really can't be helped on the delay. I haven't even heard from the griffon Kamen rider wizard's author in a while. So yeah talk about unintended test of patience on my part. Hopefully I can get to work soon as I want to get back to this story asap once my laptop arrives. > Please wizard 2012 part one > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was a week after we went to Equestria and the five of us riders plus the Rainbooms who just found out that they pony up with music over the week and drove Sunset nuts trying to figure out why until I pointed out music itself used harmonics aka harmony to bring people together. This might actually explain the heart song events where impromptu songs happen without warning. Currently, we were in a music room as we stared at the ring that I found in my room. It was a Wizard-type ring but barely. It was a simple band with a very miniature gem in the shape of Wizard’s helmet but other than that nothing was out of place about it other than how it got into my room or why it’s been here without me noticing. Rarity tried to claim it but I shut her down for very good reasons. “Rarity, not a good idea. For one the Ruby on there is shaped like Kamen Rider Wizard’s helmet and that’s the next rider we might end up meeting. Secondly, I checked and it’s not a displaced token but it could very well be. Thirdly, a Wizard usually uses rings as mediums for his magic. Ruby’s are fire elemental so if this is a Wizard Ring if barely in the right shape and your equestrian magic enters it you might trigger fire spells. For someone fashion-focused you want to keep fire hazards down,” I said making her flinch. " Good point, so why would a ring appear in your room connected to a Kamen rider?” asked Rarity. " I think it’s a hint that the next Another Rider we will end up meeting is Wizard. If it wasn’t for the fact the equestrian Trixie ended up both Another Faiz and Another Fourze this might have been her as well since in the show I saw a stage magician became Another Wizard but it’s been very quiet this week and Sunset hasn’t detected any new magic yet around here” I said as Sunset nodded. " He’s right from what James told me Wizard’s magic is born from keeping hope in the face of despair if you have the potential for magic otherwise falling to despair creates monsters called Phantoms turning the potential magic to dark magic. Killing the potential mage and leaving the phantom to take their place” Sunset agreed. " Speaking of Token’s Dad, why haven’t you made your own yet?” asked Yume and I sighed with Sunset as everyone else giggled at us still finding that revelation hilarious. Finding out that since I was the one who created Yume and Jack ala REcreators and that Tsukiyomi was my daughter with Sunset fifty years from now the Rainbooms and Geiz still found things very hilarious about our family situation. " Mostly because I don’t know what object I can use to act as the token. I can’t use my necklace that is eventually going to be Tsukiyomi’s necklace, even if I asked Twilight to restore it, when we were on the train to Canterlot for her” I said pointing at my necklace. " I am not sure I should use a Ride Watch as I have no idea how that will affect anyone who picks it up, and I can’t think of anything else that represents me as a person,” I said finishing my reasons. " Well if you’re worried about a blank ride watch why don’t you use the Zi-O ride watch less chance of it affecting worlds and it forms a connection to you,” asked Pinkie. " That’s a very good point Pinkie. Good thing it’s the weekend tomorrow so I can get it done now and see if I get summoned.” I said taking out my ride watch. Recalling what Yume explained about tokens I took a deep breath and channeled the time manipulation that I’ve been training since I arrived in this world into the ride watch. “My name is James McCann, king of time and space, anyone who holds this token in need of help or just a friend will find a good Ally in me. Just turn the ring and press the crown of this watch to call me and my allies” I said looking at Sunset, Tsukiyomi, and Geiz when I said that. The watch glowed before a dimensional rift opened as the watch seemed to duplicate and the copy went into the rift while one landed in Yume’s hand. “Okay, that worked so want to practice” asked Rainbow motioning to our instruments. " Yeah that sounds good,” I said putting away my ride watch as Yume put away my token. “Before that my lord seems soon you will run into a prince mage with the power of allies of riders and heroes in need of help while dealing with a headache of a situation” Woz popped up making everyone but me, Tsukiyomi, Geiz, and Sunset jump. The four of us have gotten used to Woz just appearing out of nowhere by this point. " Just wish we can get the other students to stop giving me the cold shoulder treatment. Their acting like you haven’t prevented me from being a horrible person in all the time I have been here. The only bad thing I did was separate you five because I needed to vent some frustration of being unused to this world at first” Sunset said motioning to the exit of the music room. " Doesn’t help Flash, as a result, thinks you and he used to be dating because the timejackers messed with Sento-sensei’s history as Kamen rider Build” I deadpanned recalling the annoyance of seeing Flash trying to ask sunset out in front of my face until Sunset got annoyed and showed photo proof she and him never dated and laying into him someone was messing with time as a result. Flash seemed to get the hint when I was glaring at him, making him run away making the girls sigh at the reminder. “True enough I nearly forgot about the situation you’ve been dealing with since the fall formal,” said Applejack. " I just hope this doesn’t cause something everyone will regret as a result,” Yume said, missing the worried looks Tsukiyomi and Geiz shared. Before anything else could be said after a half-hour into our band practice a dimensional rift swept over all of us leaving us in white space for a few seconds before we found ourselves staring at a new city i haven’t seen before in equestria looking more roman in structure as we blinked as the rainbooms looked around. “Didn’t expect things to be that quick on getting summoned now where is the displaced who brought us here?” I asked. “And why were we dragged along too?” rainbow asked, voicing what the rainbooms were thinking. “That i have absolutely no idea,  proximity i guess” i said sighing. “Well we love helping you on your adventures james as it seems we are as much allies of you as is sunset and tsuki with geiz” pinkie said with a giggle. “But still where in the world of equestria are we that the aurora veil dropped us off at?” sunset asked confused looking around. “Well i think we are at an amazonian village and another humanoid equestria at least this time we didn’t get turned into ponies on entering the world. I swear if i find one of my original characters again i’m going to scream. But i never wrote a prince character so i think we are good on that front. Jack and yume with possibly Skyline was pretty much as far as i know of that issue” i said as yume shook his head knowing how strange that was. “It is quite strange for me as well dad” said yume as tsukiyomi sighed. “Still if Another wizard is here then we need to find the displaced who summoned us and see if they know anything,” tsukiyomi said. “Well if it’s a prince then we should try the palace but first we might need to defend ourselves… The local guards have just seen us and look angry ``Pinkie said with a gulp as we were soon surrounded with spears pointed at us and not wanting to get on their bad side we rose our arms in the universal sign of surrender. “This is not how I expected today to go,” I said with a sigh.  Apparently the aurora veil didn’t drop us off with the displaced but nearby and the guards were not happy as we were technically intruders. And we were dragged to the queen with me and geiz with yume being a bit beaten up by a rather overzealous guard for being intruders much to the girls outrage. If they have a prince then surely they would know better then not to treat us equally… that or that guard just didn’t like males with the prince being an exception.  Though with a spear lightly digging into my back threatening to hit my heart from behind, tsukiyomi started flickering from existence confusing the guards until we explained she’s my daughter from 50 years into the future and that we deal with time travel issues.  So they removed the spear being pointed at my heart as well so they didn’t want a paradox as they must be familiar with time travel in the past or heard what happens when something altered history from someone familiar with it. Likely the prince if they were the displaced we were supposed to meet. Hopefully the queen was reasonable enough to call off her guards when we explain our story. The Queen wore a pale gray toga dress with a golden belt. She was a tall, well figured and busty Amazonian mare standing no shorter than 7’3” in height with EE cup breasts. Her fur was a pale caramel, whilst her long raven mane fell to her bubble butt. Her sky blue eyes narrowed slightly as she stared at the blacksmithing chamber below, where an iridescent reddish gold glow faded into a hot golden orange flare. Her name --- Queen Ouránia Thýella. “Leave us with our guests,” she commented bluntly as the doors swung open, admitting the group. “But your Grace…” one of the guards, a dark gray furred thestral mare with a scar vertically bisecting her pale ruby right eye and a wild dark indigo mane protested. “Rhyella…. I am as much a warrior as a Queen. You know our laws of succession in which a successor to my rank must be able to defeat me in combat. Are you offering a Challenge?” the Queen’s voice was a cool deadpan. “No, my Grace,” Rhyella said, as she had been the one behind the overzealous treatment. “Then you will spar daily with Prince Taigída until he feels you ready to return to your post,” her order was blunt. “I suspect you are here for him, yes?” she continued as her gaze shifted from the guards to whom they’d escorted. “Kind of as it’s likely he is in a similar situation as me and yume here. We are technically from an alternative equestria. Knowing magic making gateways to alternative worlds are very possible. Starswirl made a mirror to one such world. I’m james mccann also known as kamen rider zi-o your adoptive son was hinted to me by a time traveler as having abilities relating to allies of the kamen riders and there is a group in our world called time jackers who’s goal is to alter history. We were basically summoned to this world by your son to possibly explain his situation. And see if there is a situation that we can help with. The time jackers tend to attempt altering history at least once a week but the past week since the last time has been very quiet so its possible they went to this world to try and attempt again. Has there been any signs of odd magic you haven’t seen before recently? It’s very likely the attempt involves magic this time” i said explaining a bit of why we were here. “We just didn’t expect to arrive not even near where your son was from where the item we sent into the multiverse was found and used. In my world I was a former student of Celestia whose sister ended up marrying james’ other son jack. How that happened was complicated to the point of a headache. Our group consists of tsukiyomi me and james’ daughter from fifty years ahead of our time and her best friend geiz and my friends who likely have counterparts here” sunset said. “To be honest time travel is complicated enough without being the main target of the group trying to alter history. Yume is from even further than tsukiyomi by around a decade and i have been trying to get used to the fact i’m apparently the focus of a provincial point of history where a lot is riding on my shoulders. It’s stressful and I could do without the headaches of keeping track of everything adding on to it. But since i learned i can manipulate time to an extent it’s my responsibility to keep history and timelines intact while also making sure i don’t end up a tyrant which is why i’m counting on my family to make sure i don’t end up on the wrong path” i said sighing. “Trust us if you ever start we will knock some sense back into you” applejack deadpanned. “And for that i’m glad. A king knows to listen to his people and to make sure he does right by them. If i’m going to be forced into the role of king of time i better make sure i don’t let the position cloud my judgement. Time is fluid that ripples can cause who knows how many untold consequences. People make mistakes and have to learn from them. There is a reason there is a saying that people who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” I said as tsukiyomi gave geiz a dark look. “You should know geiz after all until you learned he was my dad you thought killing him before he became the tyrant orma zi-o was the answer to all our problems but when told of that future he instead decided to change it by being a better man then the tyrant of our time. I’m still ticked at you for that decision besides the fact he’s placing his trust in us to make sure he never becomes the demon king of time” tsukiyomi said, making geiz wince. “How many times do I have to apologize for that tsukiyomi!” said geiz wincing. “Considering i know the consequences of trying to cause a paradox you were not thinking of the possibility my death would lead to an even worse future just be glad sunset didn’t kill you for trying to kill me especially as you were trained by her in your time” i said deadpan. “Correct my lord and glad to see you do know what being a great king entails and your knowledge of time travel is still as sharp as ever” Woz said reading his book. “Your majesty, meet the time traveler who told me I would meet your son soon. This is woz self proclaimed prophet and chronicler. I have no idea what my future self did to earn his loyalty but to him me becoming king is his only concern. I actually had to order him to share the same courtesy he would give me to my family. Especially when we found out tsukiyomi is my and sunset’s daughter and thus a princess of time. When we go through the mirror portal to visit the equestria on the other side she’s a alicorn so the princess title fits and my family has 19 generations of kings in our family tree so i am a prince at the moment like your son despite being from a side line of the main family as the 21st generation back home. At least i know of an example not to emulate in king sombra that king is as bad as my dark future self” i said introducing woz to the queen with a sigh. “You are far too kind my lord but i’m glad to see you know how to address your fellow royals and yes that sombra fellow is definitely an example not to follow considering what happened to the crystal empire. Also i should let you know your about 22 years before the local version of your daughter in law luna is due to return from her stint on the moon. So the local versions of fluttershy, rainbow dash, apple jack, pinkie pie, and miss rarity here are young foals at the moment and miss sunset’s local counterpart is due to head through the local mirror portal in about five years” Woz said and i gave him a deadpan look. “Huh good to know how much longer before the elements of harmony have before they inevitably meet Prince Taigída as for some reason from what i know of experience Displaced like me, yume and your son tend to always being acquainted with the bearers of the elements of harmony in some way. In Jack’s case back home he ended up on the moon at the same time as Luna and ended up giving her therapy for a thousand years preventing nightmare moon’s revenge in our world. Here not so much so prepare for a longer then usual night on that particular summer solstice celebration and before you ask displaced is short for Dimensionally misplaced and when we get displaced we don’t always end up in equestria at the same time. Yume and Jack plus a girl by the name of skyline are my kids because back in my native reality I liked writing stories and well the three were characters I made before I ended up on the same world sunset shimmer ends up going to through the mirror gate starswirl made. So as in a way i made the three i’m their dad. They three likely got displaced from their worlds and ended up in different equestrias. It’s by luck jack and yume ended up in the same equestria if by vastly different eras. I haven’t found skyline yet but it’s a possibility she’s out there somewhere in the multiverse ``I said sighing. “Technically i’m the youngest of the siblings which reminds me dad what order did you write my siblings” asked tsukiyomi. “Jack first then yume and finally skyline. So yume is the second oldest. Still can’t believe i’m a grandpa because jack has four kids with luna back home” i said pulling out the family photo jack insisted we have before we left back for canterlot city in the human world.  Tsukiyomi and yume adored their nieces and took to the aunt and uncle role quickly while me and sunset was still being awkward around an equally awkward luna due to how strange it was to be her parents in laws while being younger than her. Tsukiyomi and yume have their own copies. “The family tree is going to be very confusing by the time i find skyline cause if jack seraph and yume here are real despite me writing them into existence before i got displaced then its very likely she is as well it’s already going to be a headache trying to make sense of what the family tree will look like to people back home” i said pinching the bridge of my nose. “Our family is strange when you think about it considering twilight sparkle the bearer of magic the last of the bearers of the elements of harmony becomes the sister in law of the alicorn of love through her brother said alicorn of love also being celestia’s niece so her being an in law of the family is also going to be strange… especially when flurry heart is born as an alicorn with a disposition for pegasus by the size of her wings i saw a portrait of the alicorn and i still was surprised” yume said shrugging. “Well I have a whole lot more respect for shining armor if he can handle raising a natural born alicorn. Cadence definitely has the mothering personality down. Twilight must have been overjoyed becoming an aunt there” sunset said. “She would have had experience with the nocturne sisters that are Luna’s four kids with jack. How those four were born from cosmic energy still confuses me,” I said sighing. “You want strange? I was merged with a half demon and former Power Ranger after I fought off an enemy my partner in here knows well…” the Prince deadpanned, “knowing I lacked the Power to even stand up against him. Turns out the one who Displaced me… was none other than the Eltaran Sage… Zordon. And I’m guessing that Haruto Sohma contacted Zordon at some point… as when I awoke here… there was a case containing rings similar to those Kamen Rider Wizard had…. And get this. My original world…. Was that of Kamen Rider Kiva. Even met Wataru a few times. Nice kid, if shyer than a lamb unless someone gets on his bad side,” he deadpanned with a small shrug, amused as the girls jumped in surprise at his voice and appearance. “And if Goldar shows up here,” he muttered, unaware his warm ultramarine irises bled to a malicious pulsing ruby color before he blinked,  the alteration fading from his irises. He heard the bacon haired girl gasp as he was hovering inches off the ground. “Anyone tell you your hair looks a bit like bacon?” he commented cheekily, amused as she blushed. “Darling, did you use nail polish on your…. Hooves?” the creamy white skinned girl said curiously. “What’s nail polish?” was his blank reply. “Please don’t flirt with my future wife and don’t call her hair bacon… last guy who did that ended up getting sent to the hospital. And rarity, I think that’s his natural coloration for those. Anyway, as you might have heard, I’m james mccann and a new kamen rider zi-o so far i met sento kiryu, emu hojo, and takumi in terms of riders. My son Jack is fourze and yume here is a ganbarider. A video game based rider from my world. Sunset is kamen rider solar while geiz and tsukiyomi share their rider names with their actual names. These five are rainbow dash who’s local counterpart is the element of loyalty, the farm girl is applejack who’s counterpart is honesty, pinkie pie who’s the element of laughter, rarity who’s the element of generosity, and fluttershy who’s the element of kindness. The element of magic is twilight sparkle. You’re likely to meet them 22 years from now if you visit pony ville in equestria. And now I know what Woz meant by a prince with the power of allies of the riders and heroes. The allies of riders are the counterparts of power rangers the Super Sentai… and judging by the familiar look of those eyes when they changed color you’re related to Raven in my world she’s part of a comic and cartoon series called teen titans. The universe there is called the dc universe as bruce was the first hero to have comics set there” i said blinking. “Let me guess exobytes on how you’re flying so your version of the universe is a video game back home for me. So supergirl or superman for the flight.’' I added rubbing my forehead ‘cause that meant brainiac and lex luthor was involved in his powers a bit. “Great so more time travel issues is what we are involved in so have you noticed any odd magical signatures lately in different directions that seem to circle the city? The time jackers create monster versions of riders called Another Riders and from the show i saw about this normally the another riders erase the history of the corresponding rider thus rewriting history. But since i’m not sogou tokiwa the original zi-o instead the another riders can’t erase the rider history but are instead stealing fragments of my futures self’s abilities. When they are defeated we tend to get ridewatches of the main riders allies. Also i think this ring belongs to you. Showed up in my room after we helped my son jack” i said handing the prince the odd wizard ring we found earlier today. “Kara, aye. And I have met Rachel, considering I’m fairly certain I’m related to her. Trigon gave me a very… strange look I swear was recognition. Although I have noticed an odd energy signature circling the island. I don’t think it’s magical in nature, though. Feels older than that. Hmmm… that’s the Fire Style Ring, isn’t it? Wataru did mention Haruto… Kamen Rider Wizard, aye?” Taigída deadpanned. His gaze shifted to Sunset, a thoughtful gleam in his eyes. “Though I could see you marrying her. Very cute, indeed. Though being that I was deaged upon being Displaced I’m technically too young for her… or any of you, as I may have the mind of someone in my mid twenties… well… judging by his experience combined with mine, probably closer to forty five if not fifty years… my body, at present, is just shy of eleven,” he deadpanned. He facepalmed moments later. “Which means I’m technically going to end up going through puberty for a fourth time, ugh,” he sighed, shaking his head slightly. “I was in my twenties and now i’m back to fourteen around the same age as sunset. Trust me I know how you feel, ``James said, sighing. “But yeah that does sound like Another Wizard. Geiz you are the one usually using the Wizard ride watch so we definitely need to keep an eye on you this time round. You’re a gate ``I said, looking the future guardian in the eye. “What?” asked geiz. “You have the potential for magic so that means you need to keep hope in the face of despair if haruto was here he would be giving you a life lesson about hope vs despair otherwise your inner phantom will break loose and we can’t let that happen. Besides your stubborn nature and will to live is handy in this situation. So we now need to find Another Wizard before they complete whatever ritual the time jackers have them doing,” i said walking towards the doors as the Another rider has to be somewhere in the city. “I won’t be insensitive as I know you lost people in your time and I understand that full well. I lost my mom to cancer and I can sympathize with you on that bit so if we want them to survive and come back we have to make sure to change my fate of becoming a demon king of time and make a future where they never died in the first place. So let’s give you something to hope for as a goal. Making sure i dont become a tyrant and create a better world than orma zi-o’s time. 2068 should be a better era instead of becoming a wasteland” i said shocking geiz. “Are you sure thats wise? I mean once we are done with the time jackers me and tsukiyomi as we are now will cease to be and wont remember this ever happened” asked geiz. “Nah your both singularity points you will remember and still exist. Sogou destroyed his ziku driver after he met orma zi-o to erase that future and you both didn’t vanish until the time jackers reprogramed one of his soldiers and you forced a ziku driver back on him but that brought out a alternative Woz who was a rider and caused a lot of headaches” i said bringing them up short. “What kind of headaches” asked geiz. “A certain multidimensional thief and the destroyer of worlds caused that to happen and i’m going to give tsukasa a threat of finding natsumi and have her use the laughter pressure point on him… or get pinkie to do it as she seems likely to know how its used” i said. “How did you know I know a pressure point to get people to laugh?” asked pinkie. “I guessed,” I said, rolling my eyes. Entering the city, I looked to woz. “So woz any hints as to where the another rider is?” i asked him. “We already met her and she’s already heading to the next location to vent and be as destructive as she wants” woz said. “Rhyella?” i asked as well that would explain a lot about why she seemed to beat us boys up so much. If the time jackers made her the another rider and gave her a set of targets who would take her new abilities away that would explain why she was overzealous in arresting us. I haven’t seen her since the prince arrived now that i think about it. She was trying to make us unable to fight her at all. Good thing I had good pain tolerance. “You know her better, where does she like to go?’ I asked my fellow prince. Taigída frowned fractionally as his eyes narrowed. “The arena. If there’s one weakness she has, it’s the fact she likes to show off her strength, not realizing that by doing it the way she is, she’s only showing her arrogance. Though unknown to these… Time Jackers… I have something they don’t have the ability to mimic… a Power that Goldar unknowingly bestowed upon me,” he said grimly before a slow smirk crossed his face. He crossed his forearms as the thin white golden bracelets he wore shone brilliantly, revealing their true form. Upon his left forearm was a rounded depression the precise depth of a very particular type of Coin. He saw the violet haired girl’s eyes widen with great interest. “I took up blacksmithing, so if you want something after… ask,” he deadpanned with a small shrug. “But for the moment… we have a traitorous Nychterinó to subdue,” he deadpanned as his irises glowed softly. He knew they would not recognize the Ancient Equish form of the name of the Thestral tribe. “Not so much a traitor but tricked by people who can freeze time she likely had no reason to not trust them after they likely told her of my possible future and decided to make her think I was possibly a threat to the kingdom. And as yume and geiz are as far as they know as much a threat to the time jacker’s plans they were included to the target list. As the girls were part of the resistance in 2068 rhyella was more likely to show mercy unaware that tsukiyomi and sunset are future family to me until i revealed it when tsukiyomi was at risk of being erased from existence. She likely doesnt know geiz was part of the resistance.`` I pointed out. “That makes a lot of sense about why she focused on the three of us” mused yume as the purple haired teen scowled as he shook his head. The black with yellow streaked hair form of tsukiyomi sighed. “You’re going to vent out your frustration, aren’t you brother?” tsukiyomi said. “What do you think sis? She beat us up for no reason at all and needs a life lesson in not trusting strangers who give away power” yume said as geiz snorted. “Good thing we have a chance to figure out when she became an Another Rider” geiz said. “This world’s equivalent of 2012? Yeah that’s a given. But what event in her life around then was an opportunity for her to have been tricked into taking the another ride watch?” i said knowing my rider history. Taigída’s eyes narrowed before an echoing boom sounded before his eyes narrowed, his fist clenching. “If her Amazon Sisters are in danger from someone she cannot fight without help, that’s what,” his tone was grim as his hooves left the ground. “And there’s only one thing I can think of that would have reason to show up here,” he said softly. His hand rose to the headband holding back his two-toned Egyptian blue-slate blue mane before jerking it free, revealing a dark red garnet diamond fused to his skin. His eyes narrowed as he spotted smoke rising from the direction of the Arena. “I’ll stall Rhyella… and, if I’m right… Goldar as well. Though knowing Goldar, the coward won’t be alone,” the Prince said grimly. “No doubt you have ways to get there faster than by flight,” he deadpanned with a slight smirk. In response us riders pulled out a ride watch and activated it which with a light toss became our motorcycles the ride strikers while yume inserted a card to his driver summoning his hover bike. “Can’t be kamen riders without a ride” i said as we got on and the five girls without rider powers got on though sunset got on behind me as rainbow dash and Applejack took the ride striker sunset summoned. Still as we rode geiz noticed two ride watches on his holders had changed to the wizard and beast ride watches. “Huh what do you know we got the wizard and beast ride watches” said geiz having not noticed them change after i gave him a lesson on hope for a better future. “Hand me beast then we might have to split up to handle what’s going on there” said sunset as well she was using legend rider powers herself. “Might want to suit up then” I said as us riders put on our drivers and activated our change items. =zi-o!/geiz!/tsukiyomi!/solar!= “Henshin!” the five of us said as yume slotted in his change card. =cyber! Sync up rider!+ =Rider time! Kamen rider zi-o/geiz/tsukiyomi!= =era time! Kamen rider solar!= With stylized clocks or in sunset and tsukiyomi’s cases a sun/moon dial and watch bands we became our rider forms with yume becoming kamen rider cyber the ganbarider in his default green form. Arriving at the arena where goldar was fighting Another wizard as the foot soldiers of phantoms clashed with goldar’s soldiers I shared a look with sunset. “Putties and ghouls? The only difference between them is how they were made” i said as well both are homunculi for a reason if i remembered right. As we got off our rides and summoned our weapons as geiz handed sunset the beast ride watch. “Geiz you and sunset head for 2012 and see about beating the another rider there which should reverse the another rider from this time and give us a better time against goldar” i said as i prepared the ex-aid watch. “We got this” yume said tapping a wizard ring to get the wizard cards and grabbed three before sliding them onto the slots on his arm summoning kamen riders wizard, beast and mage. “Got it just be careful cause we still have a date when we get back home” sunset told me as she summoned the time majin to pick her and geiz up before entering the timestream. “Right, let’s get things set right” I said to the ranger as I pulled out the edge of time. A deep cracking thump sounded as a plume of dust kicked up a half dozen Ghouls and Putties. A surge of white arcs sheared through the homunculi before they disintegrated. “Goldar is mine, since he drove that sword of his through my chest,” the Prince’s voice barked as the Dust settled, revealing his own morphed form. What caught the Prince’s attention, also, was a shifting in the balcony before a large clawed boot caught Another Wizard in the helmet. “Huh… so Finster, apparently, is around,” he deadpanned at the sight of the monster. “Well i got another wizard so can you handle that guy tsukiyomi, yume?” i asked the two as the three of us shared a look. “Got it dad” both replied. Taigída rolled his shoulders as he kept a loose yet firm grip on Saba. “I suspect if we can get King Sphinx, Goldar, and Another Wizard distracted or, better, fighting each other, it’ll give us an easier time,” he commented. “Well good thing I can summon back up, dad. You and sis get ready, cause if I remember right ranger foes tend to go giant,” said yume. “Good thing we have a time majin still just in case” i deadpanned. “That’s if Rita or Zedd’s around. And if Finster made King Sphinx, it’s very possible. Though… eh?” he started before pausing at the sound of a police siren. His head cocked before his eyes widened slightly as blue bolts tore into the cannon fodder before a familiar bike rolled up.   “Didn’t expect the police looking ranger from turbo would show up” i commented blinking. “You’d be surprised. After all, who knows how long it’s been since what occurred in the show or if it even did occur in this dimension and time,” Taigída said with a small chuckle. “Either way, the assistance is going to make things easier on us,” he commented. A slight smirk entered his voice near the end as if he knew something. “Though he isn’t our only advantage if he does go giant… but bloody hell does King Sphinx smell like rotting meat,” he deadpanned as a breeze caught an awful stench of decomposing fish and meat. He gagged at the stench. “No kidding and we haven’t run into ghost yet despite geiz having his watch” I said sighing. “He somehow took drive and ghost from my future self so that’s something we don’t know how he got as that wasn’t shown as far as i know” i said as i slashed some of the mooks on the rather obvious z or the cracks in their bodies at the confused look I was sure I gained from the other prince. Taigída’s head tilted, his eyes paling to brown for an instant. “You would think Rita would create a less obvious weak point where the animation seal coalesces, but I suppose the ‘Z’ plate is intended as armor… too bad she could be more subtle with a neon sign,” he commented wryly as he leaned and swayed, evading the clumsy slashes and strikes. “Nah that’s zedd’s fault he tried to make the putties more effective but instead gave them a one hit kill spot. Rita was not amused at her husband when that happened in my world, I literally grew up on old school power rangers. Was originally born in 1995 of my world. Well into the third year of the original team’s third year fighting rita” i said sighing. That was something humorous when you think about it. Sure they got stronger but the putties became actually easier when the z marking was placed on them. They are disposable mooks though so it didn’t matter. The tengus were more a proper foot soldier for rita though. Switching my zikan girade to gun mode i shot the markings on the putties as tsukiyomi constructed weapons of light and followed my example while yume in shade form based on his friend Shades own form was having fun pulling a spirit shenanigans on the mooks. “Hey goldar! Hope you like games” i said as i slotted in ex-aid to the other slot on my driver and spun it around. =rider time kamen rider zi-o armor time! Level up ex-aid!= Now in ex-aid form I started using my pile driver gauntlets to smash the mooks to rubble. Game effects like hit appearing as I did so. Taigída smirked. His eyes widened as King Sphinx inhaled, his emaciated chest swelling before he exhaled a blast of flames at Kamen Rider Zi-O Ex-Aid Armor. He flicked a narrow switch on Saba’s head, a deep snarling voice growling “It’s about fucking time, ye idjit,”. His gaze shifted momentarily. “Shut up, Yoru. We have shit to do,” he sighed before slashing the darker double of Saba, Yorutsumi, in an underhanded upward slash before slashing Saba in a downward arc. An arcing jet of water blasted toward the flames as a maelstrom of air froze it before a billowing cloud of steam exploded violently outward. ‘I wonder how geiz and sunset are doing cause this is getting ridiculous a bit. Just where are the putties coming from i think we felled around three hundred and more just keep appearing!’ i thought as i destroyed what had to be a group of fifty from my gauntlets. (end chapter) > please wizard 2012 part 2 > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equestria ‘2012’ colloseum Geiz and sunset arrived to the past where they saw the amazons fighting another wizard who seemed to be berserk and unaware of what she was doing. Both went to help the ranger armed with their weapons as sunset summoned solar energy to form a sword. Much like how tsukiyomi can use moonlight to form weapons. “What in the world? Who are you two?” asked the prince. “You can say we are allies from around six years from now. We are here to help you knock some sense back into this amazon. She got tricked into thinking we are a threat to the kingdom and was given this power by our enemies. Luckily we got the right counter for this stolen power shes using” geiz said as both riders pulled out their new ride watches. wizard!/beast! The two slotted them in and spun their belts. rider time! Kamen rider geiz! Armor time! please wizard! era time! Kamen rider solar! Legend time! Set open l-i-o-n lion! Sunset found herself gaining mostly black armor with one arm being gold while new kanji slammed into her helmet spelling out beast as in her hand appeared the dice saber. “Rejoice! At this moment the queen of time has gained the power of a Legend Rider and her name is kamen rider solar beast armor! This is the advent of her ascension with her love the king of time once again” said woz appearing on a pillar looking at the battle. “Why did James have to reveal to him that we were likely to get married since we met tsukiyomi” muttered sunset embarrassed as she shook her head. “How do you think I feel knowing my best friend is the daughter of you and the possible dark future of your husband. I can’t kill him because then I lose the very reason I became a rider. Protecting her was one of the only things keeping me going as everyone else I was friends with was killed. So for her sake I will try to bring a brighter future by finding another way” said geiz as he shot with his bow as both riders started pushing the another rider back. “Now I see what my dear meant about you being the only one he can trust around our daughter. Anyone devoted to her happiness and care for how she exists is practically shown to be her soul mate. So if you break tsuki’s heart you know what my dear will do to you not counting her siblings” sunset told the red rider using her lessons from celestia to strike with her solar rapier on the another rider. “Jack and yume are the least of my worries” geiz said sighing before both kicked the another rider back before activating their finishers. =finish time! Wizard/beast!= With large jumps the two enacted a rider kick at the another rider. =time/era! Strike burst/flare!= With an explosion the another rider transformed back as the another ride watch exploded creating the mage and white Wizard ride watches alongside sorcerer but the sorcerer ride watch looked slightly different to the others as both riders grabbed them. “What’s with this watch? It’s a different design than the rest” said geiz confused as he looked at the watch. “I have the feeling James has the answer to this one” said sunset as both looked to the Prince. “Sorry to cut our time here short but last we left our comrades in the future they were helping you against goldar so with another Wizard dealt with we just cut half the forces fighting in half” sunset bowed before both rushed to the time majins and returned to the present. 2020 battlefield. I gave a slight cheer as another Wizard and the ghouls vanished leaving a confused Amazon as goldar and his monster of the week look slightly confused. And we finally got rid of the putties. “Alright sunset and geiz did it! Now we just have to finish off goldar and his monster!” I said as we regrouped. A shine from my holster caught my attention to see a ride watch was now resembling the prince’s ranger form helmet wise on the face as the watch ring was green and the majority of the watch was white. The date was 1993 the year power rangers started. “And look at that time to give them payback from the sheer migraine this fight is!” I said pulling it off the holster and rotated the ring pressing the button. =mighty morphing= “Armor time!” I said switching my ride watches and rotating my driver. =rider time! Kamen rider zi-o! Displace time! Mighty morphing ranger!= The armor time formed and split apart before covering my body. The kanji for ranger slamming into the visor. The sections resembled the current ranger suit used by the Prince only the should armor looked like the tigerzord head and the gauntlets had both Saba versions oversized attached. “Now this is going to be interesting! The ones who will restore the balance is us!” I said entering a stance before woz appeared to do his proclamation. “Rejoice! He is the one who will inherit the powers of all riders and has now obtained a power outside of riders! And his name is kamen rider Zi-o Ranger armor this is yet another chapter on his road as king of time!” Woz said in the stands of the coliseum making yume shake his head. “Does woz have to suddenly show up dad?” Asked yume. “He’s like professor paradox from Ben ten can’t exactly stop him from doing as he pleases” I said sighing. “Interesting chap, he and I hold a debate every century about our respective charges” woz said and I gave him a look. “Why am i not surprised you know professor paradox” i deadpanned as i joined the prince in fighting the mummy. Just in time for geiz and sunset to return. Taigída cocked an eyebrow slightly as the large machines came from a swirling rift before he leaped back from King Sphinx spitting out a blast of flames before his eyes narrowed before his fist clenched as a discus of golden red energy formed. ”You try to take the hope of this island by turning one of our sisters against us… shaming us,” he growled as the discus shrank swiftly, forming a golden ring around his middle finger, ”that I refuse to allow. I chose to fight against the ingrained awareness of my sisters, both by blood and awareness, knowing not all of them had pleasant experiences with men… becoming a new hope that we may one day be able to reveal to the rest of the world our existence,” the Prince barked as a diamond streaked with opalescent sheen flared to life upon the golden band, pulsing with restrained power. Unnoticed, for a couple of seconds, a marking shone a bright prismatic golden at the small of his back: his Destiny Mark revealing itself… revealing his Talent to be in Runic Magic as well as Aura Manipulation. As he spoke, the golden accents of his armor gained red, green, navy, and yellow additions as the Coin over his chest shifted to a mother-of-pearl sheen with silver accents rather than gold with darkened copper accents. His visor shifted from black to a mirrored silver. Saba and Yorutsumi both shifted forms, becoming much more lethal looking. “And like i said before the ones who will restore the balance will be us!” zi-o said as he entered a stance the blades on his arms glowing.  =finish time mighty morphing!= “Let’s finish this fight and show him that equestria has more protectors willing to defend it then he knows!” zi-o finished unlocking then rotating his driver. =Morphing time break!= Jumping zi-o slashed with his blades on king sphinx before with a twirl sent the monster to the white ranger. Taigída’s eyes rose to the tumbling monster before his eyes narrowed as his grip tightened on the dual blades before one ignited with bright golden orange flames, the other with purplish black flames. He didn’t notice as he shifted his weight before pushing off into a spinning slash, time seemingly freezing as quadruple slashes formed an eight pointed star that expanded into a very unusual sigil within Wizard’s magical circle. ”Saikyo!! The Finale!” a voice murmured from a cloaked individual nearby. For just an instant, a round diamond ring with a pair of silver ‘glasses’ over it was noticeable. ”Heh… now I see what Tsukasa meant,” he murmured as he slipped into the Amazonian mares, surprisingly unnoticed, as time unfrozen as King Sphinx was torn apart in a magical explosion. Prince Taigída’s head turned as he shifted, twisting the blades and sheathing them on opposite hips. His ears twitched as a roar of rage sounded as he saw Goldar cringe before he saw a heavily seared arm catch something before he realized that though King Sphinx had most certainly taken heavy damage and was missing both legs, one at the hip, the other at mid-thigh, as well as one arm which had been reduced to a charred stump, he still breathed though it was painfully obvious that he was close to his last legs. He winced as he didn’t like seeing any creature so injured yet still alive. His head cocked at the silvery gray orb with a thin segmented black ring splitting it horizontally in the center in King Sphinx’s grasp, not realizing it was one of Zedd’s Expansion Bombs. His hand shifted before he blinked in surprise, tugging a Coin from a segmented case in his belt. ”Eh?” he muttered with some surprise. He knew for certain that he’d not had this particular Coin, though he most certainly recognized it. While the prince didn’t recognize the expansion bomb I certainly did. “Everyone clear the area! That undead monster is about to become giant!” zi-o shouted out to the amazons and the rainbooms. Seeing the time majins returned zi-o leaped into the one sunset was in. “James what’s going on and what’s with that armor,” asked sunset. “We managed to get it to just king sphinx and goldar but now after dealing as much damage as we could to the Egyptian reject he’s about to use a bomb on him to become a giant. So get ready for a kaiju fight” i told her as i pressed the button on the ranger ride watch. =tigerzord! Arise!= Hearing a large tiger roar as the time majin switched to robot mode as the ride watch head connected turning a very familiar white tiger robot was rushing towards them before surprising me as it split apart with a large ride watch coming from it and the parts attached to the time majin. Well now the time majin had gotten taller as the legs of the tiger zord robot mode legs covered the feet section of the time majin as the forearms covered the hands of the machine as the torso of the tiger connected to the back as the tiger head connected to the majin’s chest before the white ride watch replaced the one that was normally zi-o’s for the majin’s head.the tail of the zord became the weapon of the new mech. “Time majin: tigerzord custom” i said suddenly and i jerked a bit. “Why in the world did I suddenly blurt that out?” I asked, confused. Taigída flicked the Coin into the air, noticing it shimmered with arcs of emerald flames as he caught it before, in the same fluid motion, slid it into the bracer hatch before he blinked as he held a very familiar Dagger as he saw light shimmering. ”Dragonzord, rise up!!” he roared as he shifted the dagger, a triumphant fanfare blaring out before bubbles surfaced in the bay several dozen yards away as a very famous Zord surfaced, not realizing when he slotted the Coin in, his armor had altered in appearance. He flicked his hand as a green gemstone vest sealed over his chest as his legs tensed before he pushed off suddenly, a cyclone of green tinted air launching him skyward. His eyes narrowed before widening slightly as he landed on the Dragonzord’s shoulder, noticing a hatch opening in the crook of the neck where it met the shoulder. ”Makes me thankful I don’t have a fear of heights,” he sighed.  “Says the guy who went from white to green?” i called over the time majin’s speaker system having seen his change with a chuckle. Still what were the odds he had tommy’s old power coins on him. Pushing the control yokes I moved the tigerzord merged mech over to stand beside him. Taigída chuckled even as his eyes widened slightly upon seeing the detonation before King Sphinx let out a bellowing roar, easily standing close to three hundred feet tall. ”Guess it’s a good thing in these we don’t have to smell him… ‘cause how he smelled… had I not been wearing my helmet, I’m pretty sure would have knocked me out,” he deadpanned before his eyes hardened. ”Now… we have to put this dead cat down for good before he makes too much of a… what the fuck?” he started before his eyes widened as a coral encrusted tendril lashed out from the sea before coiling around one of King Sphinx’s legs and jerking him airborne before tossing him to a broad island offshore that was usually used for catching fish. His head cocked in confusion before he blinked. ”The island Guardian,” he muttered in realization.  “Well i honestly didn’t expect that” me and sunset said in unison as we went to the island though i didn’t realize the time majin kicked goldar into the distance as a result because of the sheer height of the mech. “I’ll get you for this!” goldar said as he was sent far away from the amazons. With king sphinx getting up from the toss I slashed the time majin’s weapon at the undead while glad the controls for this was simple and that we were joined by geiz in his own time majin to help fight this thing alongside the dragon zord. Taigída settled into the cockpit within the Dragonzord. His eyes widened slightly as he heard a voice through the helmet. ”May the Power protect you,” it said. ”Zordon?!?” he muttered in confusion, shifting the control stick as the tail swung around, the drill activating with a loud buzzing before it sliced across King Sphinx’s chest in a shower of sparks. He shook his head twice, clearing his mind as he saw King Sphinx form a pair of traditional Egyptian kopesh swords from some of the bandages upon his emaciated frame. ”Gotta stay focused,” he muttered to himself. ”’Cause this is only the first of what I suspect will be numerous battles,” he muttered as he saw King Sphinx kick back Geiz’s mech before slashing at Zi-O’s. He depressed a button, triggering the fingertip missiles. Fortunately, most of them hit, pushing the monster backwards, though a couple deflected towards the sea, kicking up plumes of seawater upon impact. “I forgot this guy had those swords… wait why didnt he pull them out at the time he was a person in size and not a skyscraper?” zi-o muttered as he deflected one with his time majin’s sword.  “I honestly have no idea” sunset said as she blinked. ‘Wait a minute if James told me right the time majin’s are connected to the drivers so can I help him with any ride watches I have?’ she thought before pulling out the beast ride watch and slotted it to her driver. =Beast!=  As kamen rider beast’s magic circle went over the mech in it’s other hand was now the dice saber and attached to the forearm sections of the tiger zord’s robot mode on the sides of the mech’s head was now looking like the hyper magnum’s gun barrels at the ends. “Hmm seems my queen has figured out just how the time majin’s are connected with the ride watches” Woz noted from his spot watching the fight with a grin. With dice saber and new guns zi-o and geiz with the prince was actually dealing quite a good amount of damage to king sphinx even destroying the sphinx’s blades and now it was time for the final strike. “Okay guys last blow!” zi-o called as the three riders activated their ride watches and rotated their drivers. =finish time!= =morphing time break!= =time burst!= =strike era flare!= The two time majins glowed as geiz did a rider kick making the sphinx stumble back as the canons on the time majin tiger zord custom let lose an energy chimera and tigerzord that mauled the sphinx before the mech passed by slashing with both blades sending the monster to the dragon zord which sent out its drill tail sending the undead out to sea. “For the glory of zedd and rita!” the monster called out as it stumbled to its feet before falling back and exploding as the three mechs relaxed. “Well that’s one chapter of this legend closed” zi-o said sighing as the time majins separated from their attachments as they returned to vehicle mode and the tiger zord roared seeming to duplicate before a very smaller version entered the cockpit with zi-o as the ranger armor seperated and seemed to merge with the copy of the zord before it vanished as the transformations reversed. Later the group was set up on a stage in the kingdom plaza as the rainbooms including james was setting up their instruments. As celebration for repelling the attack the rainbooms offered to sing a song before they returned back home. Once the song ended James looked to the prince. “Good luck with the future as it seems you need to remember that power rangers have to deal with seemingly defeated monsters becoming giants so if i were you i would try and find a team of other rangers to help out most likely the future elements of harmony of this world. Which means good luck with nightmare moon. Maybe you can find someone to pass the green ranger powers too out of them. Seven rangers working together would help protect this world from zedd and rita… though how those two are back i have no idea. So for now be glad you have both dragonzord and the tiger zord helping out. And also might help if you look into your inner animal spirit the jungle fury rangers practically use them as zords so that should help you with another team as back up” i said to the prince. “Now if you want to send us back just say the contract is complete and it should do the rest. You might also get james’ token back to hold on to once we leave” yume said chuckling as he couldn’t believe james choice to sing the theme of the super sentai version of dragon zord as a performance before the group left. Yume did hand over his own token to the prince as well as jack’s gate switch which was the fourze’s token. “If you need any help you know who to call. If you want we can help you with your token cause other displaced out there will need the help at least” i added on chuckling. Taigída chuckled as he rolled his shoulders. His new Destiny Mark was engraved in the diamond shaped copper  plate between his shoulder blades. “Obviously, you have my Token.. The Hi Ryū Style Ring. Though I have a sneaking feeling that you aren’t the only Zi-O out there. And I do intend to find other Rangers…. Though I should mention that, during that fight… I heard Zordon. Though if there’s a place I may be able to set up a Command Center… well… that I’ll find out in time, eh? Look at that,” he commented as the sea several hundred feet out began bulging upward. His eyes widened as the surface of the sea parted… revealing a thick trio of coral encrusted tails. “Wait a minute… three tails covered in coral? Isobu! Your local guardian is the three tailed turtle biju from the naruto series! Guess that means you will also have to deal with ninjas l guess” i said as it hit me where i saw those tails before surprised.  “Well james time to head home we still need to get the girls home who knows if granny smith is getting worried about applejack being gone for so long” sunset said as i looked to the group. “Right well tai hopefully we can have you visit at some point and try to not get in as much trouble cause i have no doubt when yume returns to his time rarity will be freaking out as he just vanished before her” james said. “Considering she was powered up by the nightmare forces or a remnant of nightmare moon and is married to spike… i’m more worried about sparity trying to interrogate me over my time with you dad” yume deadpanned. “I still cant believe a counterpart of mine had a daughter and named her after what pinkie calls a Ship name” rarity said rolling her eyes. Taigída shrugged. “Trust me, there are more than a few ships out there named after Deities of Norse and Greek mythology. Even one named Lakshmi, after the Hindu goddess of prosperity,” he commented. “Personally i think rwby was the first to make team attacks that doubled as ship names if i recall right” james said shrugging on that topic. ”As for the present… our contract is complete… for now. Also, şe o ni ọjọ iwaju ti o ni ere,” he said with a slight bow. It was an old farewell, the literal translation being ‘may your future be bright and profitable’. “Considering i’m trying to avoid becoming orma zi-o a tyrant as a possible future i’ll need that” i said before the aurora veil swept past taking me and my group back to our world. “Well once more my lord has gained a power to help him in becoming the king he is meant to be but when he and his friends return home a whole new adventure is waiting around the corner and anything more is spoilers but take heed for desires of men are limitless and take care not to let them control you out of greed” woz said in the everfree forest as he looked into his book which was showing three familiar medals.
