> Kamen Rider Colors > by Blaze-saber > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Chapter One: the First Shade on a Canvas > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- An alarm was sounded in a large laboratory as two figures were running through the halls while humanoid like creatures with multicolored swirls all over their bodies were chasing them. One of them was a middle-aged man with a lab coat carrying a briefcase while he runs next to a sixteen-year-ould boy with neon blue skin, light yellow hair, and deep blue eyes. The teen boy was wearing neon green shirt with a light blue vest over it and was carrying cylinder shape container with what look to be an alien being inside of it. The alien itself look to be bright pink with for tendrils on its body as two of them act like arms as they pressed against the glass. The two ran as fast as they can before the old scientist pressed a button next to a doorway and sealed it off. The two then made their way through a large area of a building before something bright blinded them and a small laser beam struck the old man. The teen boy dropped the the canister and let the small alien out as the glass shattered. He then dragged the old scientist to cover near a stairway well the blasts keep on coming. The little alien floated over to them as the old scientist weekly lifted the briefcase up to the boy. "This... i-is the only hope... we have... color the way... t-to the future..." The scientists said with his dying breath. The boy took the briefcase before the scientist died and the little alien put two of its tendrils together as it spoke in its alien language, like it was begging him to help. Within the midst of chaos that is happening, there a monster with a woman shaped figured and pointy spikes on her head that launched multiple balls of spikes everywhere. The boy knew he wasn't going to get out of this alive unless he uses whatever in the briefcase. He unlocked and opened up the briefcase and found a circular belt buckle with five blank screens around the center, a dial on the first screen, and rectangular slot on the left side of it. Next to it looked like color markers but they seem to be made out of metallic metal and two of them were colored while the rest were blank. The boy picked up the belt buckle and put it on as the belt extended around his waist and locked on him before he picked up the bluish green color marker with the label saying laser on it. The teen stood up as he pressed the button on the marker and yelled before he inserted it into the belt. A bright light then filled the room as a huge explosion happened and an armored figure was seen zipping out of the building like a ricochet at high speed, leaving a trail of neon green laser behind. One year has passed and we see a bunch of teens and kids walking up to a school known as Canterlot High. One of them is a teen boy with a medium build, similarly light complexion, and spiky blue hair. He wore a pair of jeans, a white shirt, a black hoodie, and a pair of sneakers with lightning bolts on the sides. An emblem resembling a blue shield with a yellow lightning bolt was on his sleeve. In his hands was a black guitar case. The boy had his phone out as he was having a conversation on whoever is on the other side. "Thanks again for letting me he's here. I will make sure he feels welcome when I see you. Okay, I'll tell Mom and Dad you said hi. Later aunt." After their conversation ended, the boy bumped into a girl with thick rimmed glasses that hid her purple eyes. Her back length hair was tied in a ponytail and was a dark, indigo-blue color with a mulberry stripe and a pink stripe running through it. She was dressed in a simple blue and white short sleeved blouse with a pink ribbon at the collar, and a purple skirt with pink, six pointed stars that seemed to sparkle. "Oh hey, Flash." The girl said when she turned to face him after they bumped and to each other. "Hey Twilight." Flash respond. "We got to stop bumping into each other like this." He then noticed some papers were on the ground and realized that he accidentally made her drop her homework. They both crouched down pick up the papers. "I'm really sorry, Twilight." He said as he helped her pick up the papers. "It's alright." Twilight told him after she picked up a few papers. "I overheard you talking to someone on your phone. Who is it that you want to feel welcome?" "My cousin, Brush Shade." Flash answered. "He's moving here from Japan and has taken a job at the new local art store." As he handed her some of her papers, the two accidentally touched hands and they both blushed a little. "Would you and the girls like to meet him?" "Yeah, that would be nice." Twilight said as they stood up. "What time?" "Well he should've been here by now." Flash said as he looked around for his cousin. "I wonder where he is." Somewhere in the city in a park, the boy from a year ago was sitting on a bench with a art pad and color markers out. He was making a drawing of a couple in the park, only he had his eyes closed and instead of a couple talking to each other, they look like their spirits were dancing free while they were talking in the drawing. When he was done and opened his eyes, he saw his artwork and smiled at the job that he had done. "That's another great piece for the future." He said to himself before he noticed the time. "Ehhh?! I'm late!!" He gathered his things and placed them all in his bag before he began to ran out of the park. "First day and I end up letting my artistic instincts take control and make me late again!" The school bell rang and everyone had already taken their seats. Flash however grew worried for his cousin haven't arrived yet. "Quiet class." The teacher, Miss Cheerilee spoke before the class remained quiet. "Thank you. Now today, we have a new student joining us. He comes from Japan and I believe is the cousin of Flash Sentry." She looked around the room and noticed that he was not here. "Has anyone seen--" Her sentence was cut off when the door burst open and who came through made Flash smile while the others jumped in surprise. The teen boy walked over to the chalkboard and grab a piece of chalk to write down his name before he turned to the class. "My name is Brush Shade, and I'm here to color the way to our future!" He declared. There was a bit of silence before Miss Cheerilee cleared her throat. "Thank you for the introduction Mr. Shade." She said before she pointed to an empty seat behind Flash and Twilight while next to Sunset. "Now would you please take your seat?" Realizing that he was late and he disrupted class, Brush quickly bowed in respect. "My apologies!" He said before he made his way to his seat and sat down. "Hey Flash." Brush whispered. "Let me guess, you got distracted because you wanted to draw something you saw?" Flash said with a brow. Brush gave a smile as he scratched the back of his head before class began. Once the school bell rang to end the period, Flash introduced his cousin to his friends before the next period. As the school day went on, Flash showed Brush around and showed him the ropes. When Brush asked about Twilight and Sunset with six other girls during lunch, he told them that they are the Rainbooms and he'll introduce them to him after school. In an unknown location filled with machines and humanoid creatures with multicolored swirls all over their bodies working and a few of them pushing a man into a pod. Up on a scaffolding is a few people looking down at the work. One of them is a teen girl with wild pink hair, crimson pink skin, and green eyes with her hair blocking her right eye. She wore punk clothing and had a wicked grin on her face as she watched the creatures down below work. Another is a man with dark blue skin, very light blue hair, and orange eyes. He wore a tank top that showed off his muscles on his arms while he had a neutral look on his face. Around the man's neck is a military dog tag but all scratched up. The woman standing next to the man has bright orange skin with reddish orange hair with deep yellow eyes. She wore a dark orange leather jacket with a dog tag around her neck as well. "The Pitches are going at a nice pace." The woman spoke. "Now if we can get that man to cooperate with us, it would be so much easier." "I could help him cooperating with us." The teen girl said as she pulled out a metallic color marker with small hologram on the top of it. It was dark pink and the hologram looked to be a ball of spikes. Just before she could do anything with it, a black glove grab her arm stop her. She turned to see the guy in charge of this whole operation. His entire body was covered in a cloak with one side being white and the other being black. On his face is a mask which had a purple visor and being a mix of both black and white all around it. "Settle yourself, Pin." The masked man told her in a deep voice as the Pitches managed to put the man in the tube and closed it. "Patience is a virtue. And now it is time to send a message to the people of this city." A Pitch carried a cylinder tube over to the pod and place it in a slot next to it. The cylinder filled with liquid barely showed a yellow triangular alien with tendrils on it and one eye. The machine then started up and dark purple light shocked both the man and the alien before the tube was drained and something was happening to the man inside the pod. "Let us begin the revolution." After school had been dismissed, Flash introduced his cousin to the Rainbooms. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy. They even told him everything that has happened at Canterlot High, from the Fall Formal to now. "So after you destroyed that magical watch, the time loop was broken and you both participated in one of the songs?" Brush recapped what they told him as they were taking a stroll through the park. "Yeah, that pretty much sums it up." Sunset told him as he brought his hand up to his chin and looked at the girls. "Why are you looking at us like that?" Rainbow Dash asked as Flash knew what then look meant. "You don't think we're odd, do you?" Fluttershy asked in a worried tone before Brush gave a wide grin. "Incredible!" Brush shouted before he sat down at a bench and took out his color markers and a large art book before he open it up and turn to a blank page. "This will be a great masterpiece!" The girls looked at him with a bit of confusion as to why he got all excited. "When Brush sees something that really intrigues him, he can help but make a drawing out of it." Flash explained. "You mean he's going to make a drawing of us, darling?" Rarity asked. "If I had known that I would have put on a better dress." "What you're wearing is just fine." Brush told her as he laid out his color markers on the bench. "You seven just stay there and I will draw you." "Trust me, you going to like what he draws." Flash told them as he stepped aside. "Well it could be cool to see how awesome he makes me." Rainbow Dash said as Brush looked at them closely. After a few seconds of looking at the girls, he smiled then rearranged the color markers before he closed his eyes and pick one of them up to begin drawing. "Shouldn't he have his eyes open when he's drawing?" Sunset asked. "Just wait." Flash told them as Brush continued to draw. They watched as brush continued to draw with his eyes closed and was amazed he was able to pick up another color marker without opening his eyes when he was done with the first one. The girls waited for about a few minutes before he sat down the color marker he was using and opened his eyes. He looked down at his drawing and gave a proud smile. "It's done." Brush said as he stood up and turned the pad over so the girls could see his work. They were amazed to see that he drew them but they looked like they pony up. The background was a rainbow as they had pony ears and their hairs were tied up in ponytails. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had Pegasus wings but Rainbow Dash looked like she was hovering behind them in the drawing while Fluttershy was caring for a small bunny. Applejack was leaning against an apple tree and looked like her leg had kicked it to make apples fall in the drawing while Pinkie Pie had a light blue cannon that shot out confetti in the drawing. Rarity had a unicorn horn as diamonds that sparkle and shine around her while both Twilight and Sunset had both horns and wings like an alicorn as Twilight sparkled like a star and Sunset shimmered like the sun. "That's really impressive." Twilight said in amazement. "Absolutely marvelous." Rarity added. "That's like 20% more awesome than I thought it would be!" Rainbow Dash shouted. "Especially like how you drew me with an bunny." Fluttershy told him. "I love the party cannon I have on it!" Pinkie Pie shouted with glee. "And how'd you know I live in a apple farm?" Applejack asked when she saw the apple tree next to her in the drawing. "Well that is impressive, but how did you do all that with your eyes closed?" Sunset asked Brush who smiled bright. "Because I let my heart guide me." He answered. "When I was young, I always been able to see things with my heart's eye. See things so much differently when I color them and well see things from a different point of view. I always follow my heart and let it color the way to the future." "It's true." Flash confirmed. "Ever since we were kids, he's always been able to do something like that. It's sort of like his gift or something." Twilight then picked up the art pad and gave a small smile to the drawing. "It is a nice drawing." A voice said from behind her. She turned around to see a man with pure white skin and blue hair wearing a police officer uniform and she smiled. "Hey Twily." "Hey Shining, you out on patrol?" Twilight asked her big brother. "I was till I saw you and your friends here being models for this guy." Shining said as he pointed towards Brush. "Actually, I was inspired by them." Brush corrected. "And it's all free of charge, so I won't ask them for anything in return." Just before Shining could reply to him, his walkie-talkie went off as a woman was giving out a message. All units be advised, we have a escaped convict on the loose. Male, around his teenage years, red skin, black hair. Suspected in Murder, proceed with caution. Last seen heading East on Hoof Drive. "Looks like duty calls." Shining Armor said as he went over to his police cruiser. Brush, Flash, and the girls watched as he drove off to that location before they saw Rainbow Dash walking towards that direction. "Rainbow, where are you going?" Sunset asked when she grabbed her shoulder. "I'm going to go help catch this guy." Rainbow Dash answered. "And before you say anything, let me remind you we have magical powers so I can take him on." "Okay, but we're coming with you so you don't cause any trouble." Sunset told her as the rest of the girls nodded in agreement. "We're coming too." Flash said as he and Brush stepped up. "We may not have magic powers, but me and my cousin know how to fight." "Just be safe." Twilight asked before the group headed out. Brush had look on his face that says If only they knew what he's got up his sleeve besides able to draw. A teen boy was running through a cave before exiting it and making his way to a warehouse. The guy is wearing a blue prison uniform, has red skin, red eyes, and black hair with red streaks and looked frightened. The teen removed the prison jacket he was wearing and threw it away before finding a old red coat hanging on a hook and took a breather. "I finally lost them..." He said to himself before walking out of the building. Just when he thought he was in the clear, he heard a small click before he turned and saw Shining Armor holding a gun towards him. "Hands in the air, now." He ordered as the teen quickly complied. Brush, Flash, and the Rainbooms had arrived just as Shining Armor slowly approached the guy. "Look, I don't want any trouble at all." The guy told Shining. "My name is Flight Sword and I was framed about that murder." "Did he said he was framed?" Rarity asked quietly as they didn't want Shining knowing they were here. "That's what they all say." Shining said as he took out a pair of handcuffs. "I'm telling the truth! I was invited to that apartment and when I came in I found a dead body on the floor just when the police showed up!" Flight explained. "And you can't take me back to jail, they will take me back in there and do something to me!" The two boys and the girls wondered what he was talking about. "I'm not letting that freak in a mask experiment on me again." When Brush heard him say something about the mask, that brought back a memory from when he was trying to escape a facility with a scientist. "You can tell that to the judge." Shining told him before Brush quickly ran in front of him and thought them from coming closer to Flight. "What are you doing here kid?!" Flash and the girls was surprised he rushed over and is standing in Shining's way. "Stopping you from making a mistake." Brush answered. "I'm not sure if he's telling the truth about the murder, but he is telling the truth about the masked man. It's because I've seen him before." He then turned to Flight as the others walked up next to Shining. "The mask the man was wearing, was one side black and white while the other was white and black as he was wearing a cloak?" Flight looked at him with surprised and shocked before he grabbed him by the shoulders. "Yes! Yes, that's exactly what he looked like!" Flight confirmed. "When I was in prison, someone knocked me out and woke up and some weird laboratory or something! I saw him and a few others, but my mind's a bit blurry that I can't remember what they look like!" "Maybe I can help with that." Sunset suggested as she walked up to him. "Just relax and try remember about where you've seen them." She then took his arm and her magic activated as she looked into his mind. She saw Flight entering a apartment where he saw a dead body on the floor before the police arrived and assumed it was him that killed the person as he was knocked down to the floor. She then saw him spend a few weeks in prison before one day he was knocked out by someone or something. She saw images of humanoid creatures with multicolored bodies all over them and the masked man Brush was talking about. It was there the images became blurry as she barely saw cylinders filled with liquid and weird odd creatures in them. Everything went blank after that before she let go. "He's telling the truth, he didn't kill anyone and someone did got him in prison." Shining didn't know how, but he decided to trust her as he put the handcuffs away and the gun. "But where'd you seen that guy before?" Flash asked his cousin as they all wondered the same thing. "That's important right now." Brush told them as he looked towards Flight. "Did you see anyone else with him, like a girl with wild pink hair over her eye and crimson skin?" "Just like her?" Pinkie Pie asked as she pointed up ahead. They all turned to where she was pointing and saw Pin with a grin on her face coming around a corner. Flight had a look of fear on his face when he saw her while Brush looked at her with a glare. "There you are Flight." Pin said with mischief in her tone. "You should know that volunteers shouldn't go out alone." She then noticed the others with him and gave a wicked smile. "But how kind of you to lead us to some more." She then saw Brush and her smile went away. "Oh and the little runaway thief that's stole from us." She then pulled out a glass bottle from her pocket and pulled out the cork on top. "Well, at least I get to kill three birds with one stone." She said as she started to pour the multicolor ink that is in the bottle onto the ground. As the ink spread out across the ground, the ink started to bubble before it started to rise and took form of the things Sunset saw in Flight's mind. "What in tarnation are those things?!" Applejack asked as they all took a defensive position. "Those things are called Pitches and they are not friendly." Brush answered as the Pitches charged at them. Shining Armor quickly took out his gun and tried to shoot them down, only to see if they had no effect on them before he punched a few as they were close. Twilight was using her magic to levitate the Pitches off the ground before flinging them far as Rarity was using her shield magic ability to block their attacks or push them back. Pinkie Pie pull out some candy as she used her magic to make them glow before flinging the candy towards the Pitches and the candy exploded. Applejack used her super strength to knock a few of them back as Rainbow Dash was using her super speed to knock away a few more with a few kicks and punches and pushes to them. Flight was showing off some martial arts skills as he was able to duck under a few of their attacks before he was able to flip kick a couple of them. When he landed he spend kicked a few them in the head as he was trying to get space away from them. Flash also was using martial arts skills to fight back against the Pitches as he punched a few of them before blocking and attack with his forearms and kicked it back. Brush used the environment to his advantage as he picked up an old bar and hit a few of them back before he's spin kick them back. He noticed that Pin was gone and new that he had to get Flight out of here as he was fighting his way over to him. "Come on, we need to get you out of here!" Brush told him as he grabbed his arm and the two of them began to ran. They all felt a bit of a quake underneath them as something was coming out of the ground. They saw something being drilled out before the ground burst and everyone was taking a step back before the smoke cleared. They then saw a monster with drills on its arms, it's hen is a giant drill itself, and the rest of its body was a mix of black and yellow. "A Drill Blot!" "You know what that is?!" Fluttershy asked as she was frightened by the monster that appeared out of the ground. The Blot itself roared as the drills on its arms begin to turn and charged right at Brush and Flight. The two of them quickly rolled out of the way as it ran past them and burst through a building before it came down on it. It then drilled through the rubble of the building unharmed. Rarity then tried to put diamond shields around it, but it's drills were stronger than she believed as it used its drills to burst through them. "It sure is strong!" Twilight pointed out when they saw what it just did. "Then let's power up and take it down!" Rainbow Dash shouted as each of them took hold of each other's hands and their geos around their necks began to glow before Brush hold up both his hands to stop them. "Look, nothing is after Flight. All of you protect him while I'll deal with this thing." He told him before Flash grabbed his arm. "Are you nuts?! That thing will put holes in you!" Flash told him as Shining Armor step forward. "It all will if you don't get out of here!" Shining told all of them. "All of you get out of here and I'll call her backup!" Brush just smiled at what they thought before he made Flash let go of him and he stepped forward. "Trust me, I know what I'm doing." Brush said before he pulled out a familiar circular belt buckle with a rectangular lever on its side. "It's like I said, sometimes you need to look at things from a different point of view." He then placed the buckle on the front of his waist before a sliver belt extended around him and locked on him. Color Driver! The buckle chanted when it was put on. They all then saw him open his vest and pulled out a metallic silver color marker with a light greenish blue hologram on it and the front of it saying "Laser." Flight saw the marker and he saw something similar before. "That's looks like what they have." He said before Brush pressed the button on the back and the marker blinked a few times before it chanted. Laser! He then made a zig zag with the marker as it was drawn in the air before he made a circle near the top of it and placed it in the slot of the belt buckle. Hyper Go-on! The belt chanted as it lit up. Within it, energy started to flow out from the bottom of the marker and into the belt as it was powering up. Outside the belts in the center, the screens around it lit up the same color as the marker as laser lights were drawing a armor around Brush as the others took a step back from him when the lights surrounded him. When the laser lights vanished and the glowing pieces of armor hovering in the air, the belt asked a question. Ready? Brush raised his hands up before he gave a clap before taking a fighting position. "Henshin!" He shouted before he pushed the lever and putting his arms down and the glowing hovering armor collided on him in a bright light. When the light dispersed, Brush was replaced with an armored figure with a black bodysuit. They all noticed that the armor became solid when the light dispersed and there was a line going up and down from the belt. The line going up zigzag across his chest and took form of a a light burst before it zigzag to his right arm. The line going down the belt went down his left leg. The armor itself is the same color as the marker in the belt as he is also wearing a full head helmet with a yellow visor and a small crystal on the forehead of the helmet in the middle of a v-shaped blade on top. The armored man put his left hand on his hip as he dragged his right hand across the blade on his helmet before giving a flick of his wrist as the belt started to chant again. Moving at the speed of light! Laser Shade! All right! "Wow..." Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie said in awe as they all looked at him with shock looks on their faces. "Kamen Rider, Colors." The armored man introduced himself. "Now with this, defeating you will complete the masterpiece." He told the Drill Blot before he pumped his fist and energy traveled up the line from the belt before in a flash he was close to it and gave a powerful punch that knocked it a few feet back. More Pitches surrounded Colors after the monster was punched back, but he wasn't worried as he gave a few kicks and punches to them. They all watched as each punch and kick was giving off a laser light trail behind each attack. The Pitches then took out spears and charged at Colors. Colors jumped when they thrusted their spears at him and when they all looked around to see where he went, they looked up to see he was on top of building. "How did it get up there so fast?!" Sunset asked when they saw him up there. "The belt did say moving at the speed of light." Pinkie Pie reminded before Colors jump down from the building and gave a few kicks at the Pitches that knocked them down before the exploded. He then gave a few flips and bodges to their attacks as the others were wondering why he's not finding back before Twilight figured it out. She noticed that he was getting them into a formation for some reason before Colors grabbed the dial that's on the center of the belt and moved it towards an image on the third screen. Laser Ricochet! He then backflip and glowed bright before he launched at an angle and ricochet and a zigzag line at the remaining Pitches. He skid to a stop as each Pitch exploded behind him before the Drill Blot charged at him after a recovered and tackled him. After taking a hit from its drill, Colors was using the laser speed to dodge each attack before he turned and kicked it back. He then flipped back as it trying to swing its drills at him before he jumped off a wall and both its drills got stuck in the wall when it thrusted forward. "Now, to color our way to the future." Colors said as he grabbed the dial again and moved it towards an image on the last screen that looked like a person giving a powerful kick. Power then traveled down his left leg as he looked like he was prepared to strike. Laser, Final Color Kick Strike! Colors then leap into the air before kicking off the building and jumping off the other. They all watched as he repeated this until he was high up in the air and aim towards the monster in the wall just as it broke free. He then extended his left leg forward as he came down with a powerful kick. When it landed, an explosion happen as Colors leap off the wall and landed safely in front of the others. They then saw Colors take out a metallic silver marker that is blank before he pressed the button on the back and pointed to where the monster was destroyed. From the flames, a mixture of yellow and black liquid emerged from it and went into the marker until it was full. The flames vanished and a man was laying on the ground unconscious. Both Fluttershy and Shining Armor went over to the unconscious man as she brought her phone to call 911. "Okay, now can you tell us what this is all about?" Flash asked as he gestured to the full armor Colors is wearing and the color marker that had changed to the black yellow color with a monster hologram on top. "Later, right now I need to get this to Rose." Colors told him as he brought out a blue metallic iPhone with a rectangular slot on the back of it. He then took out another metallic Color Marker that is red with a flame hologram on top and the word "Burst" written down it before he inserted it in the slot of the phone. Color Change! The phone chanted as he tossed it up in the air and it began to fold out. The back folded out propellers as it was growing in size and it changed into a hoverbike with four blades around it. "Awesome! Where can I get one of those?" Rainbow Dash asked as he got on the bike. "Meet me at Future Colors store and everything will be explained there." Colors told them before he looked at Flight. "You going to get on or what?" Flight then realized that he's offering him to help before he got on the bike behind Colors. He then rev up the hoverbike before taking off into the air. They might not know what's going on, but they we'll have to trust him if this involves their home and their families. From the top of a building, the masked figure was watching everything the whole time as his arms were crossed and he gave a scoff under the mask while he smiled under it. "And so it begins." The masked man said to himself before he walked away. > Chapter Two: Secrets Revealed and Call of the Heart > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flash, Shining, and the Mane Seven arrived at Future Colors store as Brush had instructed, but Rainbow Dash was confused as to why he asked them to meet at a art store. "I thought he would have told us to meet him at a cave outside the city or something cooler than this." She complained. "Look, we're just as confused as you are Rainbow." Sunset told her. "But if we're going to get some answers as to what's going on, we're going to have to follow what he told us to do." "Let's just see what's this guy have to say." Shining quickly suggested as he walked through the door before the others followed him. Inside they saw stacked cans of paint, a few blank canvases, some sketch pads, and many other art supplies. They saw on the walls near the ceiling that there are famous Arts from around the world framed along it. "I must say, this place has fine arts here and as well organized." Rarity complemented as they looked around the place. "Hello?! Is there anyone here?" Twilight called out. "We came here just like you asked, Brush!" Flash added before a guy wearing a beige apron with a blue shirt with white flowers on it under the apron, brown pants, and a pair of glasses on rose up from behind the counter. His skin was purplish blue and he smiled at the group. "Welcome to Future Colors, where you can create new art for the future of the world." The guy greeted the group. "Is there anything I do for you?" "Uh yeah, we're just looking for my cousin who asked us to come here." Flash told the guy. "Do you know where he is, Mr...?" "Prism, Art Prism." He introduced himself. "Now, would you like a color pencils, some paint, very special spray paint, or a starter kit for those who want to become an artist?" "Look sir, we're just here because Brush told us to come here after facing off against a monster he called a 'Blot'." Shining Armor told him. "He came here with a fugitive who is believed to be framed." "Now why would one of my employees bring a fugitive here?" Prism asked with a smile. "That just wouldn't make any sense." "It's okay, Prism." They turn to see Brush leaning against a pillar. "They know about me and Colors." With that, Prism's expression turned from a smile to a serious look. "You could have told me that when you came here with that guy." He said. "So, your base is an art store?" Rainbow Dash asked in an unimpressed tone. "Follow me." Brush told them he went to the back of the store. They followed him and they stopped at a shelf with at least six paint cans on it. Brush twisted the yellow and blue cans while he pushed down the green and yellow paint cans. The shelf itself then split open to reveal an elevator which surprised the others. "What the...?" Rainbow Dash exclaimed when she saw the shelf turned into an elevator. The others walked in and were waiting for her to come in with as she was completely baffled by this. "If you want to know what's happening, I suggest you follow in." Prism told her when he popped up from behind her and gave a little shove before entering with them. Once inside, Brush pressed a button and the doors of the elevator closed and they felt it moving down. Once it opened up again, they were amazed to see what they saw when it opened. It looks like a lab filled with many technology, a computer, a flat screen TV on a wall, and a big mechanism invented into the wall. Pinkie Pie was the first to run out of the elevator and got a good look at the place. She was playing with a robotic arm as if she was playing rock paper scissors with it before she moved on to a robot head making it shake before she shook her head with it. She then went over to the odd mechanism in the wall and placed her face against the glass where she saw a glowing light inside of it. "Look at this place!" She shouted when she was on a walkway that was above them. "What's with all the noise?" They heard a teen girl voice before they looked and saw one with bright pink skin, blue hair with pink streaks, and was wearing a long sleeve shirt with blue stripes on it and a skirt. "Where are these people?" "Shine, this is my cousin Flash Sentry, the Rainbooms, and Twilight Sparkles older brother, Shining Armor." Brush introduced them to her. "Guys, this is Shine Music." "It's nice to meet you." Twilight said as she walked up to her and offered a handshake. "I thought we were supposed to keep all of this a secret." Shine said as she looked towards Brush. "I know, but Pin showed up and unleashed a bunch of Pitches on us and a Drill Blot on us." Brush explained. "And after they saw me transform into Colors, I knew I had to explain everything to them after bringing Flight here." "Speaking of which, where the heck is the guy?" Applejack asked as the others wondered the same thing. Shine then grabbed a metal bat and whacked the wall with it only for Flight to drop a piece of cloth that is the same pattern as the wall and hold his leg in pain as he hopped around. "Not cool!" Flight grunted in pain as the others saw he was wearing new clothes. He was wearing a orange leather jacket with a dragon on the back as he was wearing a black shirt and wearing long blue pants with a black belt around his waist. "You know I don't want that cop arresting me on the spot the moment he sees me!" The girls were doing their best to hold back their laughter after seeing that little performance before they heard giggling coming from above. "It's okay, these guys are friendly!" Brush called out as they saw strange creatures with three tentacle length things float down. Most of them were white with one eye while there's some with three eyes and are red, neon green with two eyes, and one that is crimson red with three eyes. These things moved two of their tentacles like arms as they floated around the group. "Oh my, they're so adorable!" Fluttershy squealed as she gently hugged at least three of them. "What are they?" "They're called Wisp." Brush answered Fluttershy. "But before I tell you guys how they got here to earth, I think we should hear him out and let him explain." Flash and the girls nodded in agreement as Shining just crossed his arms and let it happen. "Okay, you can tell us how you got framed." Shining told Sword. "Start from the beginning." "Well okay, I was born at least seventeen years ago on Nov. 8th." Flight began as we are getting a flashback of his past. We see a baby Flight in the arms of his mother in a hospital bed. "I was a cute and innocent little--" "He didn't mean that far of the beginning." Brush interrupted as he held up the bat and literally knocked away the flashback and made Twilight bewilded by how he did that. "He meant start from the beginning where you got framed for this murder." "But how did you even...?" Twilight try to ask before Pinkie Pie covered her mouth. "Okay, before I was framed I was a karate champion." Flight explained to them. "At least about 10 years and my dream was to open up my own karate dojo to teach others how to defend themselves. One day I got a call about someone wanting me to teach them karate. I was then told the address to meet them and when I went to the apartment, I saw a dead body laying on the floor and was shocked to see it." "Was there a knife or anything that might have killed it however it was?" Shining asked as the others wondered the same thing. "No, there's just the body and nothing else." Sword explained. "When checked the body to see if there was anything, the cops just showed up and assumed it was me that did it. When I was brought to court to testify against my innocence, we were shown video footage that showed me entering the building but it must have been altered because it showed me killing the person." "So someone said you up to take the fall for what happened." Sunset assumed. "And they must have altered and messed with the footage." Twilight added. "But the question is who was it that did it really?" "We'll have to figure that out later." Brush told them as the Wisp continue to float around. A crimson one was circling around Flash, as if it likes him. "Right now, you'll probably want to know about these guys." He then walked over to the computer and gestured to them to come over. Once they were over to him, he pulled up a file that says 'Project Colors.' "This will explain everything." Once he opened the file, there are a few videos on there of a middle-aged scientist on there. Brush scrolled up until he found the first video and clicked on it. "Hello world, I am Professor Techno. I'm here to tell you about an exciting revolution that has came to our world from the stars above." The scientist on the video spoke as the video show him walking towards a cylinders filled with liquid and if they look closely they can see the White Wisp in said cylinders. "In these cylinders are visitors from outer space." They then saw the scientist type of you things and one of the cylinders moved before the top of it was opened and the Wisp flew out of it. "Now it took us sometime to figure out what they were until we figure out that they can understand us but we can't understand their language. They call themselves The Wisp, and I'm not saying lisp I'm saying Wisp. And they are made of a very powerful energy source that makes nuclear reactors look like toys by comparison." "This guy's got to be joking, right?" Rainbow Dash asked after hearing that last part. "If you think I'm joking, I'm not." Professor Techno said, shocking Rainbow Dash a little. "This energy source is called Hyper-go-on and it's inside of them. And if you think it's like a battery, it's sort of an understatement for them. Hyper-go-on is there life source, basically their entire being is made of it. Now we humans can basically absorb them, but there are devastating side effects to it. But some of us humans have resistance to these side effects. The way to tell is by diagnosing them with a resistance level I call Hyper Resistance. If a human has a resistance level of 0%...let's just say that the victim won't stand a chance." This made the others, minus Brush, Prism, and Shine concerned while the Wisp looked down with sad looks. "But those with a 1% chance of resistance has a monstrous transformation into these creatures called Blots. A Blot is as powerful as the different color corresponding Wisp that transforms it and the Wisp itself becomes corrupted when it happens." The professor explained. "But those with a 2 or 3% chance of resistance don't transform into Blots and the Wisp don't get corrupted. Not only that, but the host will get a small taste of their power." They then see him walk over to a desk with a Laser Wisp and a Burst Wisp where a briefcase sits. "And then there are those, which are really rare, with a 4 or 5% chance of resistance. That is where this little baby comes in because a 4 or 5% chance of resistance means they are able to transform via my creation..." He opened the case and pulled out..."The Color Driver." "With it the wearer can utilize the Rider system I've created using the Wisp to combat the Blots." The Professor explained, which intrigued Twilight the most. "Now, I am not only creating these documentaries to explain how the system works, but I'm also adding the blueprints for any weapons for each form the system creates involving the different Color markers which are you used for the driver." Brush then paused the video and just leaned back in his chair. "I think you all can guess how well it works." He said as they remembered when he first transformed in front of them. "Well, where is Professor Techno anyway?" Twilight asked which made Brush grimace. "I would love to meet him and talk to him about all this amazing stuff he made." "His gone." Brush quickly answered before he scroll down the videos and clicked on the very last. "Listen, I don't have much time..." Professor Techno said, sounding out of breath as they can see in the background is Brush moving a few cylinders to a drop before pressing a button to send them down. "I have found out that my research was being used to create these Blots. Some mad man is bent on taking control of the world with the power of the Wisp. I was coming into work one day to see my boss and I saw someone in a mask kill him right on the spot. I then found out that half of the Wisp have been moved somewhere. That's why me, a good friend of mine, his niece, and Brush here are saving as the rest that are still here to a safer location. That includes Rose because she's..." Just when Brush was about to put the last cylinder into the drop, it suddenly shut closed and an alarm was sound as red lights flashed. "They find out what we're doing, professor!" The Brush in the video shouted in concerned. "What do we do?!" "Don't let them have Rose and we'll have to take the stairs down!" The Professor told him before he turned back to the camera. "Looks like I'll have to cut this short. Right now I'm downloading all of my files, my research, and everything about the Color Rider system on a USB and once I take it out, a trojan virus will be uploaded and destroy everything in this company's system. It's the only way to protect humanity from the threat that is coming." The professor then took off his glasses as he looked down in shame. "I just hope that the colors in our future are bright." The video then stopped as it was the last of its recording. "What happened after he let out the virus?" Sword asked as Brush let out a sigh. "We made a run for it." Brush started to explain. "A bunch of Pitches were chasing us through the halls and just when we thought we were in the clear, they had us ambushed near where the staircase is and he got shot." The others looked shocked at what he just said. "I hold him out of the chaos before Pin showed up and made things worse." "Pin?" Fluttershy repeated. "You mean that girl we met who sent those things after us?" "Yeah and before he died, he gave me the driver and told me that it was our only hope and to color our way to the future." Brush continued. "Whoever it was that killed the CEO of that company, they found a way to for people to be in control while they're Blots. I was reluctant to use it at first because I didn't know if I was four or five percent of resistance. But under the circumstances I was in, I took the rest and I transformed. With laser, I ran out of the building then met both Prism and Shine by the parking garage before we drove off with the Wisp we saved so far." "Okay, but who is this Rose he was talking about Darling?" Rarity asked before the mechanism in the wall let out allowed buzz before the window popped open. That loud noise made the others jumped and Flight quickly grabbed on to Shining. They quickly noticed them embracing each other before they quickly backed away. "That would be her right now." Brush said as he stood up in a small door on the mechanism opened up. Out came the rose color wisp that was with him a year ago. "Everyone, this is Rose and she has the power to purify the corruption of other Wisp." He reached into the mechanism and pulled out a yellow Colormarker with a holographic drill on top of it. Rose then flew up to each of them before moving her to tentacles around while she was speaking in her ailing language. "Looks like she likes you guys." Shine pointed out before Brush Twisted the top on the marker and a yellow wisp in the shape of a triangle popped out and flew around excitedly. The other wisp was happy to have another one of its kind back and purified. "So Rose is able to cure them and this mechanism is meant to help her." Twilight said as she looked at the mechanism while adjusting her glasses. She then looked at the computer and a few of the unfinished equipment around and wondered something. "Mind if I copy some of the files and see how much of his work hand got done. I would like to learn more about the Wisp and everything." "Just as long as you keep it secret." Brush asked before he gave her a USB drive and she plugged it in to the computer. "Well I need to get going." Flight said as he turned to leave but was blocked when Rarity put up a shield in front of him. He did a double take at her and at the shield as he was bewilded by it and her. "Did you do that?" "Tell you another time, but you can't go out there." Rarity told him. "She's right." Sunset spoke up. "You're still a wanted criminal even if Shining Armor is the only one who knows your innocent." "Not to mention that there is also Pin and whoever she's working for that are after you." Brush added. "Your safer here than you are out there." "Look, there's somewhere important I need to be and I'm not going to let any of you stop me from going there right now." Flight told them before he felt a pair of handcuffs cuff his left arm to a pole. "Not unless I do that." Shining said with a raised brow and a smug smile. "Clever, now give me the key!" Flight shouted as he tried to reach for the key for the cuffs, but he reached and grabbed something else when Shining pulled the keys away from him. "It's for your own good." Shining assured him. "Oh, look at the time." Prism said as he was looking at his watch. "It's getting late and you all should be getting home." They agreed and started to head to the elevator. "The Wisp will keep you company until tomorrow." Brush assured Sword before getting into the elevator with the others. When they were gone, Flight pulled out Shining's phone and breathe on the screen to show the password. Once he was in he dialed in a number and wait for someone to pick up. "Hello?" A female voice called out from the other end of the phone call, which made him smile. "Ruby." He said with a cheerful tone. That night, Twilight was in her room watching every documentary of Professor Techno to learn about the Color System and how it all works. She then thought about all that equipment that is unfinished and got an idea on how she can lend a hand with these Blot problems. She closed her laptop where she was watching the documentaries and carefully got out of bed as do not wake up her dogs Spike. She then carefully got out of her room as to not wake up her parents and made her way to her lab which is in the back of her home. She then puts on her lab coat, rubber gloves, and goggles before she starts to get to work on a couple of things. Lights flickered in her lab as she worked on a couple of items as she followed two of the documentaries on her laptop. She connected wires and worked on circuit boards. She welded a couple of things carefully and connected three parts of a drill bits to a grip of a handle with a Colormarker on the bottom. She then works on a round like device with a handle on it and a slot to what looks like a Colormarker goes in. It was yellow with six colored orbs on the top of it were around it with a dial on the connected to the middle and with a black screen on it. She then spent the rest of the night testing the two items she had finished. It was about hours of testing and readjusting the items she created until it was morning and her head was resting on the workbench and fast asleep. Spike came through the doggie door to a lab and saw her asleep. "Another all nighter work again?" He asked himself before walking over towards her. "Twilight? Twilight, wake up!" Spike shouted as he shook the chair she was sitting in before she quickly got up. "Don't do surgery on my foot!" She shouted when she woke up before she noticed Spike. "How much of that did you hear?" "Too much." Spike assured her before he looked up on the workbench and jumped on our lap to get a better view. "What exactly were you working on last night?" "Just something that'll help for a friend." Twilight answered as she looked at the time. "I'm lucky that it's the weekend so I'm good." Sunset then burst into the door and made Twilight jump. "Sunset, don't scare me like that!" "Twilight, you got to come with me back to the art store!" Sunset told her in a very worried tone. "Flight is gone!" This has shocked Twilight before she quickly ground a duffel bag and placed the two items she made in it. She then placed spike in her backpack before the two headed out. In the same unknown location where the Drill Blot was created, Pin kicked off a bunch of barrels out of frustration. "Damn that Colors!" She shouted in anger. "If he didn't have that driver, it would have been so easy to get the runaway!" "Would you calm down, Pin?" The man with the scratched out military dog tag told her. "We'll get another chance." "And we might have." The woman said as she was on a computer. "It seems our little runaway has contacted his little sister and lover using a different phone. And it looks like he's going to pay them a visit, this is good. Why don't we pay a visit and send a little surprise for our runaway." Back at the base under the art store, the group arrived to see a empty pair of handcuffs and no Flight Sword insight. "How did he even got out of those cuffs?!" Shining exclaimed as he was surprised he got out. Brush then looked around until he looked at a jade wisp and figured it out. "He ran way from Pin because they wanted to turn him into a Blot." He spoke up. "But he must have a resistance level of two or three. So he must have convinced Jade to come over and he used her power to get out." The Jade Wisp loaded over and nodded yes to confirm it. "But where could he have gone?" Twilight asked before Shining started to feel around his pockets and realized something. "He must have took my phone when you try to reach for my keys!" Shining assumed when he realized his phone was gone before Prism went up to him. "You just now realize your phone was gone." He asked as Shining's eyes shifted back and forth as he was a bit embarrassed. "Wait if he took your phone, then that means we can just track your phone." Sunset quickly found out as she and Twilight went over to the computer. They started to type in things as the others gathered around before a GPS showed Shining Armor's phone moving. "There he is." Twilight said when they saw the location while Pinkie picked up the duffle bag Twilight brought. "Hey Twilight, what are these things for?" She asked. "She can tell us later." Brush said he grabbed the Color Driver, the Laser, Burst, and Drill Colormarkers. "Right now, we need to get to Flight before they do." Flight was wearing a motorcycle helmet as he was riding one to where he wants to go. He was passing by a few abandoned warehouses before Brush riding on his Color Hoverbike Phone flew in up ahead before stopping in front of him. Flight quickly pumped the brakes as to not crash into him and took off the helmet. "You're in my way!" He told Brush as he got off the hoverbike and pressed a button on it to transform it back into a phone before taking off his helmet. "And you don't need to be out here." Brush told him as Flash, Twilight, and the girls arrived on their bus the used to get to their concerts. "He's right, darling." Rarity said as they got off the bus. "What if those ruffians come after you again?" "They're right you know." They heard a female voice say before they turn to see a woman with bright orange skin with reddish orange hair with deep yellow eyes, wearing a dark orange leather jacket with a dog tag around her neck walking towards them. "You really should be careful out here." "Who are you?" Fluttershy asked as Flight took a defensive stance. "She's one of the people who took me!" Flight told them as they all took a defensive stance when he said that. "Nice of you to remember me." The woman said as she pulled out two bottles from her jacket pockets before slamming them down on the ground. The ink that was in both bottles bubbled before they took forms of humanoid shapes and used the glass as like blades as they transformed into Pitches. They then saw her pulled out a Colormarker made of black metal with a blackish orange rocket hologram on top. She traced the marker along her body in the shape of a rocket before she pressed the tip of it against her. They then saw her get covered in blackish orange energy before her body transformed into a Blot with a rocket head on top of her and boosters on her feet while shuttle like arms were attached to her. They were shocked to see her transform before she took off into the sky and blasted off somewhere. "She's definitely with them." Brush confirmed as he placed on his Color Driver and took out the Laser Colormarker before he pressed the button. Laser! He then placed the marker in the driver as there was no time to trace a laser shape. Hyper Go-on! Ready? After the driver projected neon laser to create the armor in lights, Brush lifted up his hands before clapping them and taking a battle stance. "Henshin!" He shouted before he pushed the lever and transformed into Kamen Rider Colors. Moving at the speed of light! Laser Shade! All right! Colors then charged into battle as he jumped kicked one of the Pitches before he dodged a swing from another as they held the glass like blades. He then punched another one before one struck him from behind and he tumbled forward. After composing himself, he ducked under another attack before sweeping the legs of the attacker. While Colors was occupied by some of the Pitches, others went and attack Flash, Flight, and the girls. Flash and Flight were able to hold off and dodge the Pitches well the girls used their magic to fight back or defend. Fluttershy was staying behind Applejack as they fought but noticed that they won't hold out with the Pitches welding these glass like blades. "How are we going to beat them if they those weapons?!" Fluttershy asked and concerned before Twilight remembered something and used her levitation magic to get her double bag over to her. She pull down the round shape blaster and look towards Colors. "Brush!" She called out as she tossed it over to him. After kicked back a Pitches, he turn to her when she called out him only to get hit in the face by the blaster. "Oh, sorry!" "It's okay, it's okay!" Colors assured her before he tuck and rolled under an attack and grabbed the blaster. "What is this thing?!" "It's something that Professor Techno put in one of his documentaries but was never able to finish!" Twilight explained as she used her magic to push back a few of the Pitches. "I also worked on another one but that's for later!" Colors was impressed by this and quickly put the blaster on his right arm. Colors Pallet Riser! With his new weapon, Colors took aim and blasted a few other Pitches when he pulled the trigger. He blocked some attacks with the weapon on his arm like a shield before pushing back and blasting them again. He then noticed a wheel on the side and decided to spin it a bit. Good! Great! Awesome! As he charged it up, he took aim and fired a big blast that destroyed at least half of the Pitches. "Awesome!!" Both him and Rainbow shouted excitedly. They then took out a few more before they noticed them gathering together and merging their bodies. They wondered why they are doing this before they saw them grow bigger and their eyes were growing wider at the site. The Pitches transform themselves into a ink like monster with sharp glass for teeth. They panicked as they started to run and head towards one of the abandoned warehouses as the monster chased after them. It was too big to fit in the door that they went through before it send out Pitches after them. Both Flash and Flight grabbed a couple of old pipes in a wooden box to use as weapons as they fought off the Pitches while Colors either kicked, punched, or blasted them back. "Did you know those things can do that?!" Sunset asked Colors used a pipe to fight back as well. "Of course I didn't!" Colors answered as he blasted before the all tuck and rolled under some flying blades and Flight jumped out of a window. "Twilight, tell me that this weapon can take that thing out in one blast?!" "It does, just put your colormarker in the slot in the back and turn the small wheel a few times!" She explained it to them before the giant monster burst through the ceiling and they all jumped back. "Okay, let's see if it works!" Colors shouted as he took out the marker from his driver and placed it into his Pallet. He then spun the wheel around a few times as the lights around it lit up. Good! Great! Awesome! Outstanding! Amazing! Laser, Final Color Blaster! Colors then took aim as his Pallet was fully charged and ready to destroy the giant ink like monster. When he pulled the trigger, he unleashed a laser beam blast right towards the monster and after the laser passed through it, it was destroyed in a big explosion. "That was so amazing!!" Pinkie shouted at the top of her lungs after they got rid of the rest. "Yeah, and where's Flight?" Applejack asked when she noticed he wasn't around. Colors then felt like something was missing as he felt around his belt and realized something was gone. "And where's my--" He was going to ask before they heard his hoverbike and looked up to see Flight riding on it off somewhere. "Oh for the love of Pet! Where is he going that's so important to ignore warnings?!" Flight stopped the hoverbike in front of a apartment complex before transforming it back into a phone. "Hang on Ruby and Sky." Flight said before he ran towards the complex. One part of the building then burst before two Blots jumped out. One looked like it's made of diamonds as it had sharp diamond claws and half of a diamond covering half of its face. The other looked like a half human half dragon monster with a darkish green mixed in with blood red. Flight was not only shocked to see two Blots, but was shocked to see them jump out the part of the apartment that belonged to the two people he knows. "What did you both do with my girlfriend and sister?!" He demanded before the Diamond Blot fired a barrage of diamonds at him. He quickly tuck and roll to dodge the diamonds before the Dragon Blot charge towards him and nearly got him with its claw. Flight kicked the Blot back before he pulled out the pipe he brought and whacked it a few times. He managed to dunk under the diamond one's attack when it charged at him before he delivered a punch to its face. He quickly shook his hand in pain as he thought it was a good idea to punch something made of diamonds. He then ducked under the dragon one's attack before roundhouse kicking it on the head, causing it to fall to the ground. Just when he was about to make another move, he saw something around the Dragon Blot's neck. It looked like a necklace with a heart-shaped pendant with two swords in the middle of it. He instantly recognized it as it was the same pendant he gave to his girlfriend, "Ruby?" Flight asked in shock returned to the diamond one. "Sky?" He was so shocked that these two Blots are his girlfriend and sister as the Diamond Blot charge at him, he wouldn't have to to dodge or block the attack. Just when it was close, a blast hit it and knocked it to the ground and snapped Flight out of it. He saw Colors running with his Color Pallet Riser with the others behind him. "Flight get out of the way!" Colors shouted as he was prepared to attack the two Blots. Flight wasn't going to let that happen as he ran up to him and tried to stop him by tackling him. "Hey, what are you doing?!" "I can't let you hurt them!" Flight told him before Applejack pulled him off Colors. "What do you mean you can't?" Flash asked before he pointed to the two Blots who were holding their own heads in pain. "They just try to kill you!" "Thet need to be destroyed so Brush can save them!" Twilight quickly added as Colors got up. "That's my girlfriend, Ruby and my sister, Sky!" Flight told them before Colors could charge at them. "And I don't want them to get hurt! Blot or not!" "And even if you suck up the corrupted wisp from them, it won't help!" They looked up and saw Pin with a smug smile on her face on the roof of the complex. "Before we turned them into Blots, our boss told us that both of them have a resistance level of 0.2! So if destroyed them, they'll still die!" "What?!" Flight shouted as he and the others were shocked to hear that. "It's true." They heard another voice saying before they looked down and saw a cloaked figure walking towards them. "Are you willing to take their lives, Colors?" He asked before he looked at the others. "Hmmm, six of you have a resistance level of zero like these two." He said before he turned to Flash, Twilight, and Flight. "But you runaway, yours is 3.7 so you're getting there. But you two." He pointed to Flash and Twilight. "You both have resistance leves of 4.6 and 5.5. That is most impressive." "How do even know that?" Sunset asked before Rarity quickly put up a diamond shield when the Diamond Blot fired sharp diamonds at them. "How about we focus on those two for now!" Colors told her as he pointed to the two Blots before he turned to Flight. "I know you don't want to see them get hurt, but they'll continue to suffer if they stay like that!" He then took out the Laser Colormarker and pulled out the new Drill Colormarker. "Time to take this one out for a spin." Then pressed the button on the marker and it lit up. Drill! He then drew a triangle with the marker before creating a spiral to make it look like a drill before he placed the marker in the driver. Hyper Go-on! As the driver created a beat like music, hyper go on energy coursed through the marker and the screens on the driver turned yellow. Neon lasers then created a new armor as it was being fueled by the Drill Colormarker. Ready? "Color switch!" Colors declared as he pushed the lever in and the new armor became solid before it merged onto his body and replaced the Laser Shade armor. The armor is now yellow with a silver chest plate with sliver drill bits on his shoulder pads, knee pads, and one on top of his helmet. The whole armor looked like a knight and both the small gym on the forehead of the helmet, and the visor changed to a light blue. The Noble Burrower! Drill Shade! All right! "Now with this, defeating you will complete the masterpiece." Colors declared as Twilight quickly put down her duffel bag and pulled out a sword with three drill bits on it and a yellow handle with a small meter on it. "Here! This'll help with that!" She told him as she tossed the sword to him, and this time he actually caught the new weapon. Drillcaliber With the new weapon, Colors charged at the two Blots before swung the sword and struck the Dragon Blot. He then used Drillcaliber to block an attack from the Diamond Blot before he struck it a few times as the three parts of the parts of the drill moved when he pulled the trigger on the grip. Just as Colors flipped over the Dragon Blot, he turn the dial on his driver to what looked like a screen with a drill borrowing into the ground. Drill Bore! His body then transformed into a drill as he bore into the ground. Both Blots then started to look around for Colors before burst out of the ground and send the two flying into the air. "Rarity, be ready to put up a shield on my mark! And Twilight, bring some water from that fountain over here!" He told the two which just confused them before they saw the two Blots coming down. Colors then took back the Burst Colormarker from Flight as he still had his Color hoverbike phone and placed it in the slot in the guard of his sword. He then pressed the trigger on the grip as the fan near the guard start to move with the drill as flames covered it. "Now!" Colors shouted before Rarity quickly put up a shield that caught the two Blots and Twilight used her levitation to bring some water from the nearby fountain over as both the flames and the water collided to create steam on Rarity's diamond shield. It was then that two girls shine through the diamond shield and they were two Flight recognized. One has crimson red skin with bright yellow hair while she had light purple eyes while wearing the necklace in a purple top and a yellow skirt. The other had the same skin tone as Flight but in a lighter shade with blue hair as she was wearing a light blue top with wings in the shape of a heart printed on it. "Ruby? Sky!" Flight called out as the two looked up to him. "Flight?" Ruby asked with a smile on her face. "Hey big bro!" Sky exclaimed before Flight tried to hug them both, only to pass through them as they were just illusions of them. "I'm sorry, but this is all we can do for you!" Colors told Flight as he, Twilight, and Rarity struggled to keep this up. "Sky, Ruby, I wish there was a way to save you both." Flight told the two as he kneeled down to them. "I wish there was something I can do!" "There is, and that's to help them stop those guys." Ruby told him which confused him. "We know you're not a murderer and you're a really great guy. Whoever these guys are, they're probably the ones who framed you. And we know that you won't let that get away with!" "Yeah!" Sky shouted with a smile. "You the best that's ever been and those guys ruined your life! But we know you better than that because you never back down! So do what you always do, raise your fists up and get ready for the fight ahead!" Flight started to tear up at the words from both his sister and his girlfriend touched his heart. Rarity couldn't hold it anymore as she dropped her shield and they quickly rolled out of the way as the two Blots fell to the ground. "Flight, are you okay?" Fluttershy asked with concern before he wiped the tears from his eyes. "I'm fine." Flight answered her before turning to Colors. "Do it." Colors knotted as he removed the Burst Colormarker from the the sword and took out the Drill Colormarker from his driver. He then placed it in the sword and the drill like blade started to spin twice as fast while yellow energy glowed on the blade. Drill! Hyper Go-Surging! Colors took a battle stance as he was prepared to finish this before he pressed the trigger on the grip. Final Color Slash! Colors then took one step before he leap towards them and started to spin around like a drill as he was covered in the same energy as the blade. Just as both Blots stood up, Colors struck the Diamond Blot first before striking the Dragon one. When he stopped and landed behind the two, surge of energies course through both Blots before they exploded. Colors then took out two empty Colormarkers before turning to the destroyed Blots and started to suck up the dark corrupted energy left behind from the two. Flight saw his sister and his girlfriend for a split second smiling at him before it was all gone and nothing was left. Colors then look to where Pin and the cloaked figure were and saw that they are no longer here. The group returned back to the art shop and was weaning for the two new markers to be purify. Flight returned Shining Armor's phone and Shining felt sorry for him as he lost a sister and someone he loved. "You have my condolences." Shining told Flight. "If told us that you wanted to see your sister and Ruby again, you could have just asked us to bring you to them." "Yeah and because of my reckless action, they're both gone now." Flight send in a sad tone before the mechanism in the wall let out a loud buzz and the small glass door popped open. Brush went over and took out two new Colormarkers. One is dark green with a hologram dragon head on the top and the other is silver with a hologram diamond on the top. Brush then walked over to Flight and offered the two markers to him. "Here, you can keep these two." Brush told him as Rose came out of the mechanism. "That way, both your sister and your girlfriend will still be with you." "Thank you." Flight said as he accepted the markers. Everyone in the room now knows that whoever is correcting the Wisp, they are playing for keeps. Twilight had a look of determination as she was on the computer and on the monitor of it looked like a 3D image of a belt buckle that is yellow with a gray X in the center of it and a lever on the right of it. On the right side bottom of the monitor screen says, 'Color Driver, Mark 2.' > Chapter Three: The Birth of Crimson Nova; My Emotions Burn Bright! > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Flash is driving in his car as he's thinking about what Pin, that woman that transformed into a Rocket Blot and that cloaked figure did to Flight's girlfriend Ruby and his sister Sky. It's clear that whoever these people are, they're playing for keeps and we'll do anything to get what they want. But this just makes him wonder what these people would want by turning people into monsters. He's also thinking about what the cloaked figure said about him and Twilight as well as their Hyper Resistant levels. Flash is so deep in thought before he felt his shoulder being tapped. He looked in his rear view mirror and saw Scootaloo there. "We're almost to Sweetie Belle's please." She told him as she pointed ahead. "Huh, oh right." Flash said before he pulled up and parked next to Rarity and Sweetie Belle's. "Sorry, I was lost in thought." "I noticed because you had grilled cheese for breakfast this morning." Scootaloo mentioned before putting on her backpack. "You can always go to Twilight or the rest of the Rainbooms if you have any problems." Flash gave a smile to his little sister before she got out of his car and went inside. When Scootaloo leaves Flash though. "I don't think I can discuss what I witnessed with anyone right now. I saw someone die and I was powerless to do anything at all... And those three back there. They were playing with there lives like there just toys." He was haunted by yesterday incident. He gripped the staring wheel as he didn't notice the strength he put in it as dents were made. Flash thought for a moment as he wondered something before he put his car in drive and drove off. At Future Colors, Brush walked in just as Prism made a sale to a customer. "Thank you and come again ma'am." He told the customer before he noticed Brush. "You're late again. Let me guess, artist Instinct kicked in again?" "Heh, I couldn't help myself." Brush admitted as he scratch the back of his head. "It was an adorable kitty I saw." He opened his sketchbook and showed Prism his drawing of a kitten with adorable anime eyes. The moment he saw it, Prism let out a loud grunt as he held his chest in pain. "That's so adorable!" Prism shouted dramatically before he fell to the ground. Brush looked over the counters to see if he was all right before Prism quickly jumped back up. "I should let you know that Twilight is down in the lab doing some adjustments to your driver." "What is she doing that for?" Brush asked before he quickly ran to the back and opened the elevator. Once he got out, he finds Twilight wearing a lab coat and safety goggles as she was working on something. He also sees a few electronic components on some of the tables as Shine and Flight watches her. "How long has she been at this?" He asked them. "For hours now." Shine answered. "She really getting into it." Twilight stopped working before putting her goggles up and wiping the sweat from her brow. "This is not as easy as it looks." She said to herself before she noticed Brush in the room. "Oh good, you're here. Now I can show you some new features I made to your driver." She grabbed the Color Driver before coming around the bench and over to him. "Put it on and you'll see what changes are made." Brush decided to humor her and put on the driver. Once the belt extended out, he noticed two small rectangle containers on each side of the belt. "What are these for?" He asked as he pointed to the two containers on the belt. "Those are for the Colormarkers." Twilight explained before she walked over and pressed the button on the container on the right. The top of it opened up to reveal six slots for each marker. "This is to help carry some in case you ever need them. That's not all, reach out your hand and call out for the Drillcaliber." "Okay, Drillcaliber." He said with his hand out. The driver lit up before laser lights shot out and started to trace the sword itself. Then in a flash of light, the sword became a solid and appeared in his hand, surprising everyone but Twilight in the room. "Whoa!! How did that do that?!" "It's a lot more complicated to tell you than it looks." Twilight told him. "But thanks to this, you'll be able to carry your weapons with ease." "And what about those things?" Flight asked as he pointed to some unfinished gear on the table. One looked to be a belt buckle with a lever on its side and the other two looked like blasters. "Oh those, there's just something I'm working on but I don't have the components for them." She answered. "And the components I need are really expensive and I don't want to explain to my parents why I charged that much money for it." "Fine, I can help you with that." Shine told her as she leaned against the wall. "But I expect an award for helping you." The Wisp around them looked like they were excited when she told Twilight she would help. "Oh, no. I want to mooch off of you because--" "Nonsense!" Prism interrupted Twilight and made her jump. He walked into the room before standing next to Shine. "Shine is my niece, and don't underestimate...her power." Both of them quickly ran to the middle of the room before she lift up her arms as he raised up a curtain. Clothes were then seen flying before Twilight covered Flight's eyes when that happened. The curtain drop driven shine in a dark purple and blue outfit that makes her look like a rock star as she had one hand on her hip and the other pointing to the sky. Brush pulled a rope to let down a green screen as Prism stood behind a camera before the lights on it turned on and Shine turned around so that she is wearing a mask in the shape of a star. "Yo, yo, yoooooohhhh~!!" She sang when she spun around and face the camera. "It's your favorite internet star sensation, Singing Staaaarrrrr~!!" "What's going on?" Twilight whispered to Brush and Prism as they and Flight stood by the computer and watched from the side. "This is Shine's internet sensation alter ego, Singing Star." Brush answered, which surprised both Twilight and Flight. "You're a interest sensation?!" Flight asked when he tried to walk over to her, only for Twilight and Brush to pull them back. "Listen up my fantastic fans, the hero known as Kamen Rider Colors have some gear that needs some tinkering." Singing said into the camera as Twilight saw on the monitor images of Colors appearing behind her things to the green screen. "But we're a little low on cash, but being a hero means being humble and not asking for any rewards." Twilight looked closer on the screen and noticed that she's live streaming on a blog. "Since when do you have your own blog?" She asked Brush. "Pinkie Pie is the one who suggested this to help spread the word." Brush answered with his arms crossed. "She said it might help people be more safe from the Blots and everything." "It be so rocking if you can send in some money to help keep everyone safe in the world!" Singing said before she quickly duck down and started to put eye drops in her eyes. She slowly stood back up as she was making a sad face into the camera. "Please, it's for the kids." Anyone watching her live stream quickly got hit in the feels before people started donating money to her. There was so many coming in that in cause a spark in the power lines. "Wow, she's really good at this." Twilight commented before the lights blurred red. "Oh boy, looks like a Blot is on the move!" Singing declared when she saw the lights. "But all things to you, Colors can now keep you all safe! See you among the staaaarrrrrrsssss~!!!" She signed off before giving a wink to her fans. "Looks like it's down town." Twilight said when she checked to see where the Blot is attacking. She soon got a text from Applejack saying she and Rarity at the same location where the Blot is. "Applejack and Rarity are there right now." "I'll go back them up." Brush told them as he grabbed his gear before walking towards the elevator. "Wait a minute!" Flight shouted as he grabbed his shoulder. "We need to prove my innocence and find those people that framed me!" "Saving people is more important." Brush argued when he pushed Flight back and went over to the elevator. "What's more important: Colors or proving a man's innocent?!" "Colors, hands down." Brush answered before the elevator door closed. Brush is on his rider machine as he flew the sky to the location before Twilight called in on a screen on his ride. "You're coming up on the location. You should suit up now." "Right!" He responded before he pulled out his Drill Colormarker and press the button on it. Drill! He then placed the marker in the slot of his driver before it lit up. Hyper Go-on! Ready? "Henshin!" Brush declared before he pushed the lever in and transformed into Kamen Rider Colors: Drill Shade form. The Noble Burrower! Drill Shade! All right! He revved up his rider machine to go faster once he transformed. Meanwhile, Applejack and Rarity were fending off a few Pitches off while they were protecting a couple of kids, a boy and a girl. Applejack used her strength to punch a few back while Rarity used her shields to block a few texts back before she used her shields as blades to strike back. But what they're really having trouble with is a Blot with two big cubes fused to its head and red eyes in each cube. It also had smaller cubes along its body while two large ones were its hands. "Where in tarnation is Colors?!" Applejack shouted as she tossed one of the Pitches into a wall. "We can't hold out much longer!" "I don't know, but let's hope it's soon!" Rarity exclaimed before she quickly ducked under an attack from the Cube Blot. Little do either of them know that the man with the blue skin and the scratched out dog tag was watching them from afar. He was holding up a strange device as he was gaining both Applejack and Rarity as they fought with their magic. "This is Bronks to Ombre." The man spoke into his risk communicator. "The readings from these two girls off the charts. Should I apprehend?" "Not yet." A voice responded in the communicator. "We also need the readings from the other five girls. Kiba said he needs all seven before anything else." "Understood." Bronks responded before he continued to observe both Applejack and Rarity. Applejack trying to deliver a punch to the Blot, only to do no damage to it and for it to strike her back with its cube fist. Applejack was sent back a bit before Rarity put up a shield to try and protect them both, but the Blot destroyed it with one hit. It hovered over them as it raised its arm up and ready to strike before Colors came flying in and knocked it back on his rider machine. He then did a u-turn in midair and charge right at the Pitches with his Drillcaliber in hand. He struck each of them every time he flew by before they were destroyed in a fiery explosion and he jumped off his rider machine as it transformed back into a phone. "Sorry I'm late." He apologized to Applejack and Rarity. "Made a wrong turn on the way here." "It's all right, another second later and we wouldn't be." Applejack told him as she and Rarity stood up. "We'll make sure the kids are all right while you beat up that ruffian, darling." Rarity told him as Colors nodded in response. As they went over to check the kids, Colors turned to the Blot as it stood up. "With this, your defeat will complete the masterpiece." Colors declared as he readied his Drillcaliber before he charged at the monster. The monster charged back at him before he swung his weapon and struck it a few times. The monster swung at him before he ducked under one attack before another struck him as sparks flew off him. Colors tuck and rolled on the ground before quickly blocking an attack from the monster with his Drillcaliber and kicked it back. "Go Colors, go!" Rarity cheered as he fought the Blot. "Duck!" Colors ducked under an attack from it when shouted. "Jump!" He did jumped back when it swung at him. "And kick!" Colors did a roundhouse kick to its head and knocked it to the ground. "Yes! Now show that brute who's--" "Would you please stop that!!" Colors shouted at Rarity in an annoyed tone. "I know how to fight and I don't need commentary!!" "Behind you!" Applejack called out before he turned around just as the Cube Blot swung its cube fists and struck him a few times. Another hit sent him flying back and crashed on the ground. "That's got to hurt." She commented as she and the kids winced at that while Rarity covered her mouth. "Sorry!" Rarity called out as Colors groaned in pain. "I deserve that..." He groaned before he pulled out his Laser Colormarker after pulling out the Drill marker. "Color switch." He placed it in his driver as he stood up and switched to his Laser Shade form. Lights from his driver started to form on his arm before his Colors Pallet Riser appeared. He started moving fast as he blasted the Blot a few times with his Pallet Riser. Once he was a few feet away from it, he turned the dial on his driver to the ricochet mode as prepared to strike. Laser Ricochet! He back flipped as he glowed bright before launching himself straight at the Blot. He delivered a massive damage to it when he struck it before bouncing off the wall behind it and was up high in the air. He then took out his Drill Colormarker and placed it in his Pallet Riser before he started to spin the wheel to charge it up. Good! Great! Awesome! Outstanding! Amazing! Drill, Finally Color Blaster! Colors took aim at the Blot before pulling the trigger and firing a blast in the shape of a drill right at it. The Blot swung its cube fist right at the blast only for it to be struck by it just as Colors landed on the ground and it exploded. He then took out a blank Colormarker and aimed it at the destroyed Blot to absorb the essence. Once it was all in the marker, a woman was seen laid on the ground in place of the Blot. "Mom!" The two kids called out to the woman as they raced over to her just when she regained consciousness. She sat up and looked around with a confused look on her face as her kids hugged her. "What... what happened?" She asked as she had no memory of how she became a Blot. "You're going to be all right ma'am." Applejack assured her as she and Rarity walked over to her. "You were just under a little evil control." "But you are freed by Kamen Rider Colors." Rarity added as she gestured to him just as he was getting on his Rider machine. He gave one last look to her before giving a thumbs up and flying away. Rarity and Applejack help the woman up just as Bronks let out a annoyed scoffed before he walked away. When they left, a black cloaked figure was watching the whole thing from a tall building as he let out an amused chuckle. "Hah... That's the Kamen Rider. This got interesting." The figure said in a deep voice before he turned to leave. Brush return it back to base under the art store as he waited for the new Colormarker to be purified. Flash and Shining Armor, Shining holding a file folder, came out of the elevator to see Flight pouting, Brush working on another sketch and Twilight working on the unfinished things. "Heard what happened in town." Shining spoke up. "First a construction worker, and now a mother? When's it going to end?" "Maybe if we focus on who framed me, then maybe it would end sooner." Flight grumbled. "We should really--" He got interrupted when the machine let out a loud buzz and made him jump the small door opened up. "It's done!" Brush shouted excitedly as went over and pulled out the new Colormarker, just as Rose came out of the machine. "Which one is it?" Flash asked as he walked up to his cousin. Brush turned around and showed Flash the new Colormarker has a holographic cube on top and is dark blue. "Huh, I should have seen that coming since you fought a Cube Blot." Brush shrugged before he turned the top of the marker and released the blue wisp to let it join its friends. "Heh, they're really happy to see each again." Brush commented with a smile as he looked towards Shining Armor. "So, did you find what I asked?" "I did." Shining answered before he put the folder on the table and open it up. "This is a file of the man who you were framed of murdering." This got Flight's attention as he quickly went over to see the file. "The man you found dead was Doctor Shade Cosmic." Brush did a double take when he heard that name while Shine quickly set up from her bed when she heard it. "There's even a photo of what he looked like." Flight picked up the photo and looked at it carefully as he saw a man with cyan skin, blue hair, and wearing a lab coat. "That's the guy I saw dead at the apartment." He confirmed as Brush and Shine walked up to look at the photo. "It's really him..." Shine spoke up when she saw the photo. "What, do you both know him?" Flash asked when he saw the worried looks on both their faces. "Yeah because the doctor helped Professor create the Colors Rider system." Brush told them, which shocked Twilight, Flash, and Shining Armor. "The professor hit a dead end when he was creating the system, so he called up an old friend here in America to help out. He said Doctor Cosmic was a very talented young scientist. But after completing it, he suddenly disappeared a month before I became the professor's assistant." "Not only that, but look at this." Shine said as she picked up one of the papers in the folder. "It says here that he died on the same day he disappeared. That can't be just a coincidence." "Now we just need to find the guys who killed him and proved my innocent." Flight told them. "But where and who are those guys?" "Maybe what you got something, Twilight?" Flash asked before he walked over to her. "What are you working on?" "Well thanks to Shine, I was able to buy the necessary components to complete these." Twilight explained before she held up one of the blasters with a large cube on the end of it. "This one is almost done and once it is, it can work well with the cube form you just got Brush." She placed that Blaster down and picked up another one that has one wing on the right side while half a wing was on the other. "This one will double as a blaster and a blade once I'm done." Flash then noticed a yellow belt buckle with a black X in a circle in the center of it on the table. "And what about this?" "That's the Color Driver Mark II." She answered, which got Flash thinking to himself. Twilight then walked over to Brush. "By the way, I wanted to ask you something important." "What's up?" He asked before she pointed to the wall and a jagged crystal that is in it. The crystal itself also are at least five small slots in it. "What is that in the wall?" She asked before walking over to it. "I never seen anything like it before and there's no geological finding in anything I could find." "Oh that, it's something to help the Wisp whenever they're a little drained." Brush explained before looking towards Rose. "Want to show them Rose, and get a little recharge too?" Rose quickly floated up and spoke her alien tongue excitedly. She then went into the blank color marker as Brush walked over to the crystal in the wall. "We're not sure what it is either, but putting the Wisp in the Colormarkers and into this thing's slots, they somehow regenerate their Hyper-Go-On." He placed the Colormarker in one of the slots and a section of that crystal lit up in the same color as Rose. After a few seconds, he pulled it out and Rose was let out feeling rejuvenated and everything. "That's incredible." Twilight commented before Flash touched her shoulder. "Hey Twilight, I need to talk to you about something important in private." Flash told her. "I probably should go restock some shelves up in the store." Brush mentioned before turning to Shine. "I could use your help considering your uncle is out for supplies." Shine gave a nod before the four of them went into the elevator. When they were gone, Shining look towards Flight as he glared at the papers well holding both the Diamond and Dragon Colormarker in his hand. Shining let out a sigh before he pulled up a chair and sat down. "Hey, let's talk about what happened." He told Flight, who just rolled his eyes but decided to humor him. Flight pulled up a chair and sat down next to Shining. "Look, big brother to big brother, it must be really hard to lose someone from your own blood and losing a loved one you cared for so much." "You can't possibly know how I'm feeling right now." Flight told him with a scoff before Shining place a hand on his shoulder. "Twilight is my little sister and I'm in a relationship with her old babysitter, Cadance." Shining told him. "I don't know what I would do if I lose either of them. They're my everything and couldn't live without either of them." He reached over to the table and showed him one of the papers. "I did a little investigation of my own and was looking into some security footage in the prison you were in." "Really?" Flight asked with interest. "Yeah and I found the ones who drugged you while you were in there." Shining told him before showing him the papers with a man with yellow skin and orange hair and a woman with light blue skin and purple hair. "Their names are Suncrest and Ocean Moon, their brother and sister. I don't know why they drugged you, but this paper also has their contact info." "If they work for the people that framed me, that means we could call them and ask them to prove my innocence." Flight said with hope. "Exactly what I was thinking." Shining said as he pulled out his phone. He then dialed one of the numbers and put it on speaker as they waited for someone to pick up. Soon as someone did and they heard a female voice on the other end of the call. "Hello?" "Ocean Moon? This is Officer Shining Armor, and I'm here with Flight Sword as we wanted to ask you and your brother a few questions." He told her before Flight snatched the phone. "Look, I just need you and your brother to prove my innocence!" Flight shouted into the phone. "We can't do that." A man's voice was heard on the phone. "The Revolution has my wife and daughter. They'll get harm if we don't do what they say." "The Revolution?" Flight and Shining repeated. "They must be the ones." Shining theorized before taking the phone back. "If we get your wife and daughter away from them, could you tell us everything you know about The Revolution and testify?" "Of course." Suncrest answered. "They're being held in an apartment in Ohio." Once he hanged up, he looked at a sister who had a scared look on her face before they both turned to a figure behind them. "A deal is a deal, Neon." "That's right, now let my sister-in-law and niece go!" Ocean demanded before the figure walked closer to them. It was the woman with the Rocket Blotmarker and she let out a amused scoffed. "Ohio? How are we going to get all the way there?" Flight asked before Shining stood up. "Meet me at the bus station tonight around eleven-thirty and wear a disguise." He told Flight before he walked out. In unknown location, both Suncrest and Ocean were beating on the glass as a few Pitches were preparing machines to transform them into Blots. Watching them struggle from a railing is Neon and Pin. Pin had a grin on her face before she looked at Neon. "And here I thought you didn't have a sense of humor." She commented. "You promised them to free their family and we're ending up turn them into Blots." "I was only doing what Ombre ordered." Neon told her as she looked down at the brown cloaked figure standing next to a green crystal shard with five slot holes in it. "He told me to find a way to lure out our runaway and I used the desperation of a family man and his sister to our advantage." She turned her attention to a couple of Pitches carrying tubes over to the machine. One is grey while the other is green before they were loaded into the machine. "I'm starting to think he's just a second in command to someone else." Both of them turned to see Bronks walking towards them. "Kiba wanted to know about those seven girls you saw before Pin. I was able to get readings off both of them and they don't have Hyper Resistance but energy levels very high." "Why don't just Kiba tell us directly instead of having his lackey tell us." Pin sighed as she rolled her eyes. "I suggest you watch your tongue, Pin." Ombre spoke up before he walked over to the lever next to the crystal shard. "This is Kiba's plan and it would be wise not to question his motives." He then pulled the lever and began the transformation of both Suncrest and Ocean into Blots. Night falls as Shining Armor is by the bus stop and waiting for Flight. He checks his watch and sees that it is already passed eleven-thirty as he lets out a sigh. "Come on, where are you?" He asked. "Shining?" He heard a familiar voice called out before he turned to see a very familiar face, Cadance. "I thought it was you. What are you doing out here?" "I was uh... Well, I'm waiting for a friend of mine." Shining told her. "But, what are you doing here?" "I was just for a nice walk when I saw you here." She explained before she leaned to one side when she saw someone coming towards them. "And who exactly is that?" Shining turned to see Flight wearing a gray wig, old people clothes, and holding a cane as he hunched his back over. "So sorry for being late." He spoke in an elderly voice. "Oh Cadance, I would like you to meet my grandma..." Shining told her nervously before flight whacked him with his cane on the arm. "He meant 'grandpa', young miss." Flight told Cadance, while she looked at them with a raised brow. "Uh huh, and why are the two of you here?" She asked them. "Well I'm just taking my grandpa to Ohio and he really doesn't like crowded buses." Shining explained. "So, I'm calling in a favor from an old friend and taking a little private bus there." "Okay..." Cadance spoke. "Well you won't mind if I come with, do you?" "Well...I uh...I don't think..." Shining fumbled with his words before Cadance her finger on his lips to shut him up. "What's really going on?" She asked before Flight saw some Pitches coming towards them. "Look out!" He shouted, dropping the elderly voice, as Shining quickly pulled Cadance back when he saw them too. Just as one of them charge, Flight quickly used his cane to not get back before he quickly ducked under attack from another. That quick action caused him to make him lose his wig, allowing Cadance to see his true identity. "Isn't he--" "I know, but not now!" Shining told her as he pulled her to safety. Meanwhile, Flight kicked one of the Pitches back before blocking an attack from another. He tuck and rolled under another attack but dropped his Diamond Colormarker as it fell out of his pocket. He quickly grabbed it just as one of the Pitches raised its glass blade right above him. Flight quickly turned, as well as accidentally marked himself with the marker, just as it brought the blade down. But the two of them were surprised when Flight brought up his arm and the blade broke in half. Flight told a quick look at the Colormarker in his hand before he pulled out his dragon on. He then marked himself across the chest with it before his fist was covered in a blue flame as he delivered a punch to the Pitche in front of him. The blown was so powerful that it was destroyed while smiled at this discovery. "Looks like things just got a whole lot easier!" He declared as he was about to use both of them right before he got surrounded and outnumbered. "Or not..." Just before they could attack him, someone began to shoot at them before both Brush and Flash jump down from above and fought back against the Pitches. Brush was using the blaster with the cube at the end of it while Flash was using the one with wings and now has an eagle beak at the end of it. "Thought you might be here." Flash commented as he kicked back one of the Pitches. "Like our new toys?" Brush asked as he held up his blaster. "Twilight calls this 'Q-Buster.'" He aimed at a few Pitches before pulling the trigger and blasting them with blue lasers that destroyed them. "And she calls this the 'Eagle Striker.'" Flash added before blasting a few Pitches with it. Once the way was clear, all three of them quickly ran to some barrels and hid behind them where Shining and Cadance are. "Principal Cadance?! What are you doing here?!" "You can save it, because Shining told me everything." She told them. "I'm just surprised that there are people out there doing this to others." "Well what I want to know is why you both are out here in the first place?" Brush asked as he looked at Shining and Flight. "I was only trying help Flight prove his innocence." Shining explained. "I found the two people who drugged him while he was in prison and brought him to The Revolution." "'The Revolution'?" "It's what they're calling themselves." Flight told him. "They said they would testify if we save Suncrest's wife and daughter somewhere in Ohio. After what they did to my sister and Ruby, just gets my emotions all burning like the sun..." He gripped both Colormarkers in his hands by just the thought of it. "But I can't stop them if I don't prove my innocence first!" "I'm just as upset as you are." Flash spoke up. "The way they just used your sister and girlfriend to their own benefits it's just so frustrating to me! I always wanted to help people but I felt so powerless when I saw what they did to them!" He gripped his fist tight before hitting the barrel behind him and caused a dent in it. Brush looked at Flight as he thought for a moment. If he was in his place, he wouldn't feel the same and would do anything to stop the Revolution. He then it looked at his cousin as he knew how he felt when the professor died in front of him that day. He then looked at Flight with a smile. "Then go..." "Eh?" "Go and save his family." Brush told him. "If it means that much to you, then you should do what's right and save them." A huge bang was heard before they looked over the barrels and saw two Blots charged through the wall. One is gray with Boulders for a fist and covered in rocks while the other is green that look like it had a flying saucer for a head as it hovered above the ground. "I take it those are Blots?" Cadance asked as she pointed towards them. "Yeah, they are." Brush answered before he looked towards Flash. "You said you wanted to talk to Twilight about something, right?" "I did and now it's time to show you what I talked to her about." Flash stood up before he took out the Color Driver Mark II. "I'm gonna help anyway I can!" He placed the driver on his waist as the belt extended out on its sides and locked in place. Color Driver Mark II! Flash then pulled out a crimson red Colormarker, with a holographic eagle head on top and the word eagle down the front of it. He then pressed the button on it as it lit up and chanted. Eagle! Flash then placed the Colormarker in the lever of the driver as the X on the center of it let up. Hyper Go-on! Within the driver, the power started to flow through it as it transferred from the marker to inside it. Laser lights then formed around his body as he took a battle stance. Ready? "Henshin!" Flash declared before he pushed the lever in and transformed in a bright light. When the light died down, they were shocked to see in Flash's place is a crimson red armored man with a gray under suit. Is full head helmet is crimson red in the shape of an eagle with a orange eye visor. The armor had red wings on his back like a cape. The front of the armor had a thin X etched in the front while the armor up his legs and arms looked like wings. The crimson wings guardian! Eagle Shade! All right! "Kamen Rider Nova!" The new Rider introduced himself as he adjusted the handle to go straight, causing the wings to go vertical and extend out to be like a sword. "I will be the wings of hope to protect everyone!" He charged forward and swung his sword right at both Blots. "Now's your chance, go while we get them busy!" Brush told them as he ready the Q-Buster. "And you might want to bring Cadance with you!" "Right!" All three of them said it before running towards the bus station while Brush and Nova kept the enemy busy. "Where is that bus?!" Flight asked before said bus quickly pulled up. When the doors open, they saw the woman that Brush saved from being a Cube Blot at the steering wheel. "Roller wheel, what are you doing here?" Shining asked when he saw her. "My husband got sick, so he asked me to take his place." She explained. "I guess you can say this is my way of thinking the Rider who saved me. Now get on!" Shining, Cadance, and Flight quickly gone on board before Roller close the door behind flight when he got on last. "Where to?" "Ohio and step on it!" Flight told her before Roller punched the gas pedal. As the bus rolled away, Nova and Brush fought off the two Blots and the Pitches. Brush blasted a few back before roundhouse kick a Pitch in the head. The Hover Blot flew towards him before Nova sprouted wings from his back and intercepted it. Nova then knocked it to the ground before soaring into the sky and looked towards Brush. "They're on their way!" He told him when he saw the bus driving off. "I'll handle greeny, you take on boulder hands over there!" "Right!" Brush put on his Color Driver before taking out the Cube Colormarker and depressed the button on it. Cube! "Let's color our way to the future." Brush said before he started to trace the marker in the air to make a cube before he placed it in his driver. Hyper Go-on! Power started to surge through the driver as the panels on it lit up blue. Blue lights started to form a armor as Brush lift up his arms while the driver chanted. Ready? "Henshin!" Brush declared after clapping his hands and took a battle stance. He then pushed the lever on his driver and transformed into Colors with a new form. The armor itself was cubed shape as well as his helmet. The armor makes his movements more robotic like as he lift up his Q-Buster. The four-dimensional sentinel! Cube shade! All right! Colors turned to the Quake Blot as he spun the Q-Buster around. "With this, your defeat will complete the masterpiece." He declared before started to fire at the Quake Blot. This new form may have made his movements all stiff and robotic like, but to counter this it was able to do superhuman accuracy as he blast the Blot back. The Quake Blot roared before striking the ground with its fists, causing a trimmer that nearly knocked Colors off balance. Meanwhile in the sky, Nova was chasing down the Hover Blot as he got his Eagle Striker into blaster mode and fire it at it. It dodge some of the blasts while also getting hit by a few of them. When he came close to it, Nova switched his blaster to blade mode and it started slashing it a few times. One strike knocked it to the ground as Colors blocked an attack from the Quake Blot before blasting it back. Nova then flew in and knocked the Quake Blot off its feet as Colors blasted both it and the the Hover Blot. Both of them started to blast the two Blots with their blasters as they dealt massive damage to them. "Let's show these two never mess with us." Nova told Colors as he took out the marker out of his driver. "Let's." Colors agreed as he did the same. The beak on his Eagle Striker open up before Nova placed his Eagle Colormarker in it while Colors put his Cube marker in the slot in the back of his Q-Buster. Hyper Go-surge! Both of them took aim at the two Blots as power surged through their weapons. They both pulled the trigger as both their weapons chanted. Cube/Eagle, Final Color Blast! Colors' blaster fired first and trapped both Blots in a cube before a second blast was fired along with Nova's fired with it. Both blacks struck both Blots as energy surged through them before the exploded. Colors then took out blank Colormarker before poignant towards the two destroyed Blots and absorbed their essence. Soon the two Blots transformed back to Suncrest and Ocean Moon as they laid on the ground, unconscious. "Are you two okay?!" Nova asked as he quickly ran over to them. However, a blur quickly ran over and knocked Nova through a wall. "Nova!" Colors called out before he a brown cloaked figure was standing in his way. "Who are you?!" The cloaked bigger than removed his cloak to reveal he was wearing a armor with one side being red and blue while the other was blue and red. The helmet was is red and blue on one side with a frown while the other was is blue and red with a wicked smile. Colors noticed he is holding a blaster that has a slot for a Colormarker above a high-tech spray paint can. "You can call me Kiba," he introduced himself before he quickly ran over and punched Colors through a wall. The impact was so powerful that he transformed back to Brush when he landed on the ground. "Sorry for the Interruption of save these two, and don't worry, I won't take them back. I just wanted to introduce myself. Ciao for now, Colors." Brush watched as Kiba walked away before his head started hurting. Images of Kiba and Ombre went through his mind before he lost consciousness. > Chapter Four: Going on a Rescue; Flames of Rage > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brush wakes up in the bed of their secret base with his head still hurting a bit. He looks around before getting out of bed and finds Shine with the Rainbooms and Flash talking to one another. "Guys…?" He spoke up to get their attention. "Oh good, you're all right." Shine sighed. "We were worried about you both when you didn't come back last night. We went out to find you and saw you both unconscious on the ground." "But can either of y'all tell us how you ended up on the ground?" Applejack asked. "Well we just beat two Blots, but then I was knocked through a wall by something." Flash started to tell them. "It was some Rider named Kiba." Brush told him. "He seemed to be really strong as he did the same to me. But before I lost consciousness, I suddenly had this weird memory of him and another Rider." "What did he look like?" Twilight asked. "Well, his suit was red and blue, and he also had some sort of blaster." Brush explained before he went over to a computer. "I think it looked similar to one of Professor Techno's inventions to the rider system." He scrolled through the different files until he found it. "Here it is, 'the Hyper-Spray-Blastro System.'" "I think I saw the video of that." Twilight said as the file was opened. They then saw blueprints of the same Blaster Brush saw Kiba holding. "Yeah, Professor Techno said in his video that it's a little more powerful than the Color Driver." "You think you can make something like that?" Rainbow asked. "Because I have a feeling that we're going to need that if we're going to face this Revolution." Brush quickly looked at her with a surprise look. "Flash told us about them when he woke up." "I can try, but it looks more complicated to build than the Color Driver." Twilight told her. "It could take about a few days until it's complete." "Speaking of which, Flash, I need to talk to you about something." Brush told him before he pulled him aside. "What's up?" Flash asked as Brush leaned against the wall. "I want to know why you chose to be a Kamen Rider." Brush got to the point. "Being a Kamen Rider isn't like being a superhero. You have to make a major sacrifice in order to protect others in need and the world." He then noticed Flash's driver on the table and picked it up. "When I first became a Rider, my life was never the same after that. The reason why I became a Kamen Rider is to keep the promise I made and color our way to the future." "Why are you telling me all this?" "You need to back off!" Brush exclaimed. "I don't know why, but I can feel that you don't have a reason for being a Rider!" "I have a reason!" Flash argued. "When Flight's sister and girlfriend were used by the Revolution and were killed, I felt so helpless. I believe that being a Rider can allow me to do that." "That's not a real reason!" Brush retorted before putting the driver in his bag. "I'm holding on to this." "Hey, you can't do that!" Flash exclaimed as he tried to reach for the bag. Brush quickly pulled away before running towards the elevator and went up. Flash lets out a frustrating sigh before he notices the Rainbooms, Shine and Prism staring at him. "How much of that did guys hear?" "All of it." Prism answered. "But you know he's right, you have to have a true reason for being a Rider. Protecting others isn't all that it is to be a Kamen Rider." Flash just stayed quiet before he thought about what they were talking about, making him wonder what it takes to be a Kamen Rider. Meanwhile, Pin was in her Blot form as she now has pink spikes down her back and a bunch of them wrapped around her face and covered her left eye. She had pink spikes down her arm and legs while the rest of her body was a mix of black and pink. She screamed out in frustration as she launched a bunch of spikes at a bunch of Pitches. "Would you stop taking your anger out on the Pitches?" Neon told her as she was leaning against a steel beam. "They don't grow on trees, you know." "It was bad enough that we had one rider to deal with, but now we have two?!" Pin exclaimed as she fired more spikes. "What's worse is that if both Suncrest and Ocean talk, it could put a big dent in our plans." Bronks spoke up. "We need to deal with this before word gets out." "What we need to focus on is Sword Flight." Ombre told them as he came around a corner. "Kiba didn't say, but he is a vital part of our mission." "If he's such a vital part of the mission, why isn't Kiba here to explain the rest of it?!" Pin demanded before a familiar armored red hand grabbed her shoulder. She turned to see Kiba standing behind her. "All you need to know is to follow my instructions to the letter." He told her before he held up his blaster to her head. "Or maybe I should be rid of you like you got rid of the professor for us. After all, you're the one who let Brush get away with the driver, Rose and the flash drive with the information." "I…I'm sorry Kiba, sir…" Pin said in a fearful tone. "I d-didn't mean to…" Kiba then burst into laughter as he walked over to a railing and leaned against it. "I was just pulling your leg! And here I thought you like a little joke or two." He said before he looked over at Ombre. "You really don't need to wear that cloak. We're all friends here, aren't we?" Ombre let out a huff as he removed the cloak to reveal the rest of his armor and a belt with the same blaster on the buckle. "I'm surprised to see you here." Neon spoke up as she looked at Kiba with her arms crossed. "What are you doing here?" "Why not? I just wanted to see you all again." Kiba told her. "Look at us, the old gang is back together. Except for one more. Oh well, he'll be here soon enough." He then snapped his fingers as a Pitch came over and placed a briefcase on a table. "What's in the case?" Bronks asked before Kiba walked over and opened the case. Inside they found three erasers that looked metallic, two of them were a different shade of purple while the other was black with a mix of red. One had a holographic image of what looked to be a monster while the other looked like a spiral void. The last one looked like a creature's head with antlers and all three of them were pitch black with crimson red outlines. "The Nega-Colorerasers?! But you said those were too dangerous to use!" "Oh relax Bronks, they aren't for you." Kiba assured him. "They're for a special guest that is coming here soon. I have a special little device that lets him use them without." "But what are we going to do with Suncrest and Ocean?" Neon asked before Kiba pulled out what looked to be a piece of a blade with a small periscope on its side and a small wheel near the bottom of it. He then pulled out his blaster and connected the blade to it. "Just find and get those two back here." He told them with a slight chuckle. In Ohio, the bus that Flight, Shining and Cadance took soon arrived into a town before pulling up behind a building. They told the driver to wait until they got back as they looked around town for the wife and daughter of Suncrest as Flight was wearing a trench coat and hat as a disguise. They asked around and a few people said they saw strange individuals near an apartment complex. They went to that place and saw a few Pitches wearing police uniforms as they were acting like actual policemen. "You've got to be kidding me." Shining said after getting a look at the Pitches. "The Revolution must be a bunch of idiots if they think they can fool people like that." A couple of Pitches were walking around until they accidentally bumped into each other. One of them pushed the other back like it did it on purpose before the other one did the same. They started to get into a pathetic fight as they were slapping each other. "I think these Pitches are the brainless ones." Flight whispered before he took out his Dragon and Diamond Colormarkers. "The guy's family is in there and once we see them, my name will be cleared. Let's get them!" He was about to charge in before Cadance grabbed him by the jacket and pulled him back. "Just wait a second." She whispered harshly to him. "They're way too many of them. They could hurt them if we don't be discreet about this." "She's right," Shining agreed. "We need to approach this carefully." They looked around before they noticed a van for plumbers. They noticed a few extra overalls inside before they had a brilliant idea. They soon put on the overalls and hats that are with them before grabbing a couple of tool boxes. They then carefully made their way towards the apartment complex as a few Pitches were busy trying to break up the fight between the two that we're busy fighting. Those two began to fight against the other Pitches while the three made their way in and began to search for the wife and daughter. Back in Canterlot City, Brush is seen sitting on a bench as he holds the Color Driver Mark Two. He wondered if he made the right choice of taking it away from his cousin. He was so lost in thought he didn't notice Suncrest walking up to him. "Hey." Suncrest spoke to get Brush's attention. "Oh, Mr. Suncrest, what can I do for you?" Brush asked as he put away the driver. "Well, I want to thank you for helping me and my sister from what the Revolution did to us." Suncrest told him as he sat down next to him. "We should have known that they wouldn't keep their end of the bargain. We were told to tell Flight about my wife and kid so they would set a trap for him in exchange for freeing them." "Sorry that you were fooled like that." Brush told him in a sincere tone. "I wonder why they're so obsessed with capturing Flight." "Well, I also came over here because I noticed that you seemed troubled with something." "It's my cousin." Brush explained. "He's the one who helped me return you and your sister back to normal, now he wants to continue to be a Kamen Rider. Only, he doesn't have a reason for being one." He looked at his bag that had the driver. "I know he means well, he's always wanted to help others since he was little. But he still needs a reason in order to be a Rider." "Well if he always wanted to help others, isn't that more than enough for a reason." Suncrest told him. "I heard about the Kamen Rider and how they always defend all living things. They always keep a promise, defend others dreams, or even protect the peace of others. I believe if he wants to defend others from any danger, I think that's more than enough reason to become a Kamen Rider. Everyone has their own reasons to be one, am I right?" Brush thought for a moment as he never thought of it like that. His thoughts were interrupted when they heard a familiar scream of fear not too far from where they were. They quickly ran towards the source and saw Ocean being dragged away by a few Pitches and Pin. "HELP!!" She cried out as she struggled to get free. "OCEAN!!" Suncrest called out to his sister and got the attention of Pin as she had a mischievous grin on her face. "Well, this just seems that's a trip to get you." She said before she took out her Blot-marker and traced it on the front of her body. After she stabbed herself in the center, she transformed into her Blot form before she fired a bunch of spikes right at him. Before they could reach him, Brush quickly transformed into Colors, in his Laser Shade form, and blocked it with his Pallet Riser. "You're not taking them and turning them into Blots again!" Colors declared before charged forward and traded blows with Pin. Pin got a few hits in as she used the spikes on her arms to slash him a few times. He rolled back from that attack before he blasted a few Pitches that held Ocean to free her. She quickly ran to her brother as Colors continued to fight off Pin and the Pitches.  Before the two siblings could get away, Neon came down in her Rocket Blot form and stood in their way. "You both aren't going anywhere." She told the two as she approached them. Before she could reach them, a sudden blast hit her as Flash was seen running over to them with the Eagle Striker in hand. "Go, find somewhere safe!" He told the two siblings before they nodded and ran off. He then slashed a Pitch when it charged at him before blocking an attack from another. Then tuck and rolled when Neon came at him and swung her rocket-like arm right at him. Colors was then tossed back when Pin struck him and he landed next to Flash. "Flash, what are you doing here?!" He asked when he noticed him. "We got an alert about the Blots back at the base." Flash explained before he ducked under another attack. "Face it, you can't do this all on your own!" "Look, I want to talk to you abou- Gah!" Colors grunted when a blast shot at him from out of nowhere. Both of them then looked and saw a familiar armored figure walking towards them in his black and white armor. "Ombre!" "Let's see what you are made of, Colors." Ombre said before he charged in and delivered a kick to Colors' head. Colors was able to grab the kick before it could land and push Ombre back. He then started to fire right at him while Ombre did the same. Flash was having a hard time as he continued to dodge attacks from Neon and Pin. "I could really use my driver right about now!" He complained as he blocked an attack from Pin with his weapon. "Oh don't have your fancy belt?" Pin teased. "I thought riders always have them on them in times like this!" She managed to kick him to the ground before Neon pinned him down by putting her foot on his chest. "He dies if you don't stop Colors!" Neon declared as to get his attention. Colors looked and saw Flash pinned down before Pin extended a sharp spike from her arm and aimed it at his head. Colors knew he couldn't handle all of them at once before Ombre sweeped his legs and fired a barrage of blasts right at him that sent him flying and crashed onto the ground. As he struggled to get up, they heard sounds of grunting before they looked and saw Bronks with a few Pitches behind them while they had Suncrest and Ocean in their grasp. "We have what we came here for, now let's go." He told the others before Neon kicked Flash in the side before joining Ombre with the others. "Before we go, I need to do one more thing." Pin told them before she fired multiple spikes at a nearby building. Rubble began to fall right on top of Colors before he could get out of the way and ended up burying him. Ombre then took out his Blaster before shooting the ground to cause a smokescreen. By the time Rainbooms and the smoke cleared, they were gone and they took Suncrest and Ocean with them. Fluttershy and Rarity helped up Flash while Applejack and Twilight were clearing up the rubble where Colors is buried under. "Are you okay, darling?" Rarity asked Flash. "They came for Suncrest and Ocean, and we just saw two more members of the Revolution." Flash told them as Colors started to reach out when Applejack and Twilight moved some rubble on top of him. "That's not good if they went after them again." Sunset mentioned as colors reached out his hand for help out of the rubble before a piece of the rubble bumped him on the head. Back in Ohio, the trio managed to find out which apartment Suncrest's wife and daughter are being held at. They went up to apartment 7C before Flight knocked on the door and waited for someone to answer. The door was soon opened by a woman with bright green skin, chartreuse hair and eyes. "Can I help you?" She asked the three when she saw them. "Ma'am, I'm Officer Shining Armor of CPD and your husband asked us to come get you." Shining introduced and explained. "Mind if we come inside so we can talk Miss…?" "Aurora." The woman introduced herself before she looked both ways down the halls. "Get inside and quickly." She stood aside to let Shining, Cadance and Flight inside. After looking around the place, Aurora poured a few cups of fruit punch and offered it to them. "It's nice of you to come and rescue me and my daughter, Twinkle Light. I don't know what this organization wants, but it seems they'll do anything to get it." "Don't worry, there will be an investigation on them." Shining assured her before Flight noticed a little girl with chartreuse skin, with pink hair and eyes doing a cat's cradle. Flight went over to the little girl and sat down next to her. "Hey, what are you doing?" He asked her. "Something my daddy taught me to do." Twinkle answered. "He told me that it's a fun activity and helps keep your mind on things." "But aren't you worried about your father and aunt?" "I know my daddy and Aunt Ocean will help, I mean that you're here." Twinkle pointed out with a bright smile. "Plus I believe you're innocent if you're doing all this for them." Flight looked at Twinkle for a bit before looking back at our mother. Even went over to the window and looked down to see the Pitches patrolling the ground. He remembers how the revolution just used his sister and girlfriend to try to get to him, and now the thought of keeping a family hostage is making his blood boil. Flight took out his two Colormarkers and gripped them tight. "We're getting them out of here." He told Shining Armor and Cadance. "But how? This place is crawling with those things." Cadance pointed out before they saw Flight opening the window. "Uh Flight, what are you doing?" Shining asked when Flight climbed onto the ledge of the window. "I'm going to create a distraction while you get these two back to the bus." Flight told them in a determined tone. Before they could talk him out of this, flight quickly jumped out the window before marking himself with the two markers in his hands across his chest. The Hyper Go-on energy from both of them surge through his body before he pounded the ground with his fist to cause a shock wave to send the Pitches flying back in green flames. Normally the impact would have broken his hand if it weren't for the Diamond Colormarker making him as hard as diamonds. "You guys framed me, killed my sister and girlfriend, then took away a family just to get to me!" He grunted as a bunch of Pitches surrounded him. "Now get ready to feel the flames of my rage!!!" He declared at the top of his lungs just as one of them charged right at him. He would quickly mark himself with his Diamond Colormarker before blocking an attack from the enemy and punching it back. The impact was so strong it sent Pitch going splat when it hit the wall. He then blocked an attack from two more before he kicked one of them back and delivered multiple punches to its chest. Shining and Cadance took this opening to take Aurora and her daughter and get them out of there. The group headed down the stairs before running out of the building. They then noticed Flight getting our number as he continued to fight them off. Cadance then got an idea as she noticed the plumber's van was still here. Flight continued to deliver powerful hits as to not let them get Aurora or her daughter and to keep them safe. Just when he was about to deliver another punch, the plumber's van suddenly ran over the Pitches with Cadance behind the wheel. "Get in!" She told him before she went to the back of the van and got inside with Shining, Aurora and her daughter. Cadance then hit the gas pedal and floored it before driving off to the bus. Roller was waiting patiently by the bus until they heard Flight's voice shout out to her. She turned to see a plumber's van driving up the road as Flight was holding on to the back of it and Cadance was driving it. She could hear him shouting to start the bus before she saw a bunch of Pitches chasing after them. She quickly ran to her bus and started the engine just when the came to a stop. They quickly got on to the bus just as the Pitches climbed on top of it just when Roller quickly closed the door. "I can't drive with all these things on the bus!" She exclaimed before Flight tripped and fell backwards while also accidentally marking the bus with his Dragon Colormarker. The Hyper Go-on energy flowed and energized before it only went fast and the Pitches were sent flying off it. "Whoa! How did you do that?!" Shining asked Flight as they were amazed by what happened to the bus. "I don't know, but I'm so glad that happened." Flight mentioned before he looked at Roller. "Take us back to Canterlot City so we can reunite this family back together!" "Way ahead of you!" She responded as she drove the bus. Flight looked back at Aurora as she and her daughter hugged before she looked at him and gave a silent thank you to him. Meanwhile, the Rainbooms took Brush and Flash back to Future Colors so that they could patch up their wounds from the fight. "You both are so lucky that these are just a few scrapes and bruises." Sunset told the two as she put a Band-Aid on Brush's cheek. "I would be okay if we had saved Suncrest and Ocean." Brush mentioned before he looked at Flash. Something wasn't right as he could see his inner colors were different than before. It was usually a bright color of yellow and a nice shade of gold. But now it seems to have fallen to a bit of a shade of red. "Can you admit now that you need my help?" Flash told him in a demanding tone. "We don't know how many people the Revolution has on their side. But we do know that they're dangerous and you can't handle them all by yourself." "I told you before that you need a drive to be a Kamen Rider." Brush repeated. "Even if you want to protect some people, it's not enough. It's the reason why you got pinned down by that Rocket Blot woman." "Hey, that's a low blow bro!" Pinkie Pie spoke up. "Yeah, Flash can be a great rider!" Rainbow added. "He always takes time out of his day to help others around him!" "We may not be from japan, but we do know what it means to be a hero!" Applejack told him. "Yes, but a Kamen Rider is completely different from a hero." Brush told them with his arms crossed. "Oh yeah, what's the difference?!" Sunset asked with a raised brow and a hand on her hip. "A hero is someone that helps in people's problems and helps in saving others. He is what describes a well being. But Kamen Riders, they're different as they are tasked in saving humanity as they will do anything for it. Even going down the dark road it self. They do anything to save humanity which means losing their humanity as well in the process or themselves. They bring hope to others even in tough needs as they even go lengths in taking a life save one." "Okay, you made your point." Applejack told him. "But still, Flash should be one and back you up." "I would if he had a drive." Brush said before Shine came up from the base. "Hey, there's been a couple of Blots spotted uptown!" She told them before she noticed the tension in the room. "Were you guys arguing about something?" "No, we're actually done talking." Brush told her as he grabbed his driver from his bag. "Right now, I need to take care of those Blots." "Not until we settle this." Flash told him as he stood in his way. "Okay, let's talk." Brush said as he took out his Laser Colormarker before he quickly marked himself with it. Hyper Go-on energy flowed through him before he rushed out of the place so fast they couldn't stop him. "Great talk." Flash commented sarcastically. "Why won't he let me help?" "Tell me, Flash, do you really want to just save people?" Twilight asked as she placed a hand on his shoulder. "Look at it from his point of view. The reason why he's doing all this is because he's trying so hard to protect the future the professor wanted to make. But the Revolution is using the Wisp to corrupt innocent people and has framed Flight for killing someone." "She's right, you know." Shine spoke up. "When the professor died, Brush believed that it was his responsibility to carry on his belief. Now when there's a Blot out there, Brush immediately drops everything to go and help that person who's been turned into one." "So what you're saying is that Brush carrying on the professor's belief and saving both the Wisp and people is his drive?" Flash summed it all up as Shine nodded her head in response. Flash then thinks it over and how other riders out there follow the same drive. He then thinks about how he always wanted to protect others in the same way. He wonders if he forgot that before the Eagle Wisp floated up next to him. They were all surprised when it said Wisp was holding a familiar item to him. Meanwhile in uptown Canterlot City, people were running from some Pitches attacking along with a Blot that is pitch black with gray mixed in with its body as its head looked like a storm cloud with a red mouth. The rest of its body had what looked to be bombs used to its body. There was also anthro Blot that is white with dark ice blue mixed in as it has large white claws and its head is in the shape of a sharp icicle. The Bomb Blot grabs hold of the small bombs on its body before launching them. They exploded around the area and frightened people. The Snow Blot then fired icicles from the tips of its claws and nearly missed a few people. Two little girls, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon, tripped and fell on the ground when the explosions happened. A few Pitches went up to them and raised their glass blades to finish them off. Both girls screamed before Colors, in his Drill Shade form, blocked their attacks with his Drillcaliber before he swung it around to strike them down. "Go, get to safety you two!" He told them before he kicked anthro one back and struck it down. The two of them quickly got up and ran for it as Colors fought off the Pitches. He slashed his weapon at a few of them before he blocked an attack from three more. He dug his feet into the ground as they tried to push him back before he managed to push them off him and slashed them down. After taking a few more out, the Bomb Blot threw a couple of bombs at him which exploded and knocked him back. Colors quickly recovered just as the Snow Blot fired a barrage of icicles right at him. Colors managed to slash away a few of them before a few others managed to strike him. The Snow Blot then used its claws to stab the ground and freeze Colors' legs in place. "Oh no!" He grunted as he struggled to get his legs free. The two Blots approached him and were ready to finish him off. Just after the Bomb Blot threw a few bombs right at him, a familiar crimson red armored figure flew in and slashed the bombs away. Colors covered his head from the explosions before he looked and saw Kamen Rider Nova standing in front of him. "Flash, what are you doing here and how did you get your driver back?!" "I'm here to help you out, and the Eagle Wisp got them out of your bag when you were looking." Nova explained before he switched his Eagle Striker to blaster mode and blasted the two Blots back. "Shine told me about your promise to the professor and I now know what drives you to be a rider! But you don't have to carry that burden on your shoulders anymore!" The Bomb Blot threw a few bombs at him before Nova blasted those bombs before they could reach them. "Me and the girls will help you carry it!" Nova declared as he switched his weapon back to its sword mode. "We will help you color the way of the future! Starting now, no matter what, I am Kamen Rider Nova!" He charged a head as Colors watched him from where he stands. The way Nova is fighting now is different from before as Colors see a bit of passion with each strike he delivers to each Blot. Colors had a smile under his mask as he knew what this meant: Nova had found his drive. As Nova continued to fight, the Rainbooms rushed over to Colors. "Don't worry Brush, we'll get you free in just a second." Twilight assured him. "Thanks, but I got it." He told them before he took out his DrillColormarker from his driver. He then took out his Burst Colormarker. "You girls will have to stand back." He then pressed the button on it as it lit up. Burst! The girls quickly stood back as Colors used the marker to trace a fire red flames in the air. He then quickly placed it in his driver as it lit up. Hyper Go-on! The screens on the driver lit up as the same color of the marker. Soon laser lights showed out from the center to create pieces of armor as they floated in the air. Ready? "Color switch!" Colors declared as he pushed the lever and transformed into a new form. The new armor is now hot red with a dark red under suit. On the torso of the armor are four vents with dark orange flames on the shoulders. There are fleas painted on the torso as well as up the arms and legs. The visor of his helmet is dark orange as well as the crystal on the forehead of the helmet. The sudden burst of flames freed him from the ice as the driver began to chant. The blazing brawler! Burst Shade!  Alright! "With this, your defeat will complete the masterpiece!" Colors declared as flames shot out from the vents of the torso while he cracked his knuckles. He then charged forward and set his sights on the Snow Blot as he clenched his fist and pulled it back. The Snow Blot brought its claws up to block the attack as he threw a punch at it. The impact however sent it flying back and crashed into a wall. "Flash, I'll handle frosty over there while you handle bombers!" "Got it!" Nova replied as he took a battle stance. The two riders charged in as Nova swung his weapon and struck the Bomb Blot a few times while Colors delivered powerful punches to the torso of the Snow Blot. Nova then jumped and spun in the air as he delivered a few strikes to Bomb Blot a few times with his weapon before kicking it back. Colors managed to block attacks from the Snow Blot and thanks to the firing heat of his Burst Shade form, the heat kept him safe from its freezing attacks. The girls cheered for the two riders as it seemed like they were winning until one of the two Blots let out a painful roar when something was shot into its back. They could see some sort of Crystal shard in the back of the Bomb Blot before it seeped into its skin. Colors looked up and saw on one of the buildings was Kiba holding some new weapon before he fired another crystal shard right at the back of the Snow Blot. "Let's see how you will deal with this, Colors." Kiba said before he walked away. Colors wondered what he just shot into the two Blots before they roared in pain. The two riders and Rainbooms watched as the two Blots roared before they saw their bodies begin to expand. They started to grow in both sides and height until they were both the size of a two-story building. "EEEEEHHHHH!!!!" Colors exclaimed in shock. "How's that even possible?!?!?!" "Look out!!!" Nova cried out as the two gigantic Blots swung their gigantic claws right at them. Both riders were moving around to dodge both claws as they were trying to stay alive. They even had to watch out when they tried to stop on them. Nova tucked and rolled under one of their attacks as Colors didn't see it coming and he was knocked high in the air. "Brush!!" Nova quickly flew up and grabbed him before they saw the two Blots about to strike them while they were in the air. They saw no way to dodge their attacks this time as both Blots were coming in close. The two of them were about to be squished like flies and the girls quickly closed their eyes as they didn't want to see it happen before a familiar figure ran up and marked himself with a Dragon Colormarker and a Diamond Colormarker. He then jumped high in the air before delivering a powerful punch to the Snow Blot that caused it to fall right onto the Bomb Blot. The Rainbooms and the two riders saw that it was Flight that saved them as he landed back on the ground. "Flight, you're back!" Pinkie cheered. "Does this mean you and my brother got the family out of danger?" Twilight asked him. "Yeah, we did!" Flight responded before he looked at Colors and Nova. "Now finish this off!" Both riders nodded to him before Nova tossed Colors higher up in the air. Nova then pulled the lever at an angle as standby music played on his driver. "Let's color our way to the future!" Colors declared as he turned the dial on his driver to the image of a flaming fist. Power surged into his fist as flames burst from the vents on his torso armor while Nova extended his left leg when he pushed the lever back. Burst, Final Color Punch! Eagle, Final Kick Surge! As the two Blots stood back up, the two riders landed their Rider Kick/Punch right towards their chests. Both riders went through both Blots and landed on the ground just as the two gigantic monsters exploded behind them. Colors then took out two blank Colormarkers and aimed them at the two destroyed Blots as to absorb both essences. The moment both were taken in, on the ground was both Suncrest and Ocean as they were unconscious. "Suncrest! Ocean!" Sunset called out as they all brushed over to them. It wasn't long before they heard police sirens coming close. "Come on, we need to get them back to base!" Applejack picked up Suncrest while Flight carried Ocean before they all named their way back to Future Colors. Soon the police arrived and one of the policemen was wearing the captain's uniform as he had pitch black skin and hair with red eyes. "Secure the area and leave no stone unturned!" He ordered his men. "Yes Captain Sombra!" His men replied before they searched the area. The group soon returned to the base in Future Colors where Suncrest and Ocean finally awoke. However, there seems to be something wrong with them as they have blink looks on their faces. Sunset was looking through their memories, if they had any at all at the moment. "Anything?" Flight asked in hopes that there's still a bit of memory in them. "No, not a single one." Sunset told them with disbelief. "Whatever happened to them when they were Blots, they must have lost their memories when they were turned back to normal." Flight punched a nearby wall that made Fluttershy jump. "If they can't testify to prove my innocence, who will?!" Flight shouted with anger. "I got to hand it to it, the Revolution knows how to cover their tracks really well." Twilight mentioned in a sad tone before they heard the elevator ding. It soon opens to reveal Shining, Cadance, Aurora and Twinkle coming out of it. "What's going on down here?" Shining asked the group. "We heard a loud bang coming from down here." "Flight just punched a wall in frustration because Suncrest and Ocean lost their memories." Rainbow Dash quickly answered. "Daddy!" Twinkle called out as she raced over to Suncrest. She then hugged his leg as he looked down with still a blank look. "Do you both not remember anything?" Aurora asked as she was concerned for her husband and sister-in-law. "I… I don't remember…" Suncrest said as he couldn't remember a thing. "Look, daddy!" Twinkle was doing a cat's cradle right in front of him. "I call this kitty shine! Amazing, right?" Flight looked at Suncrest and his daughter before he walked over to them. "Look at her." He told Suncrest in a sincere tone. "She practiced hard so she could show it to you. She loves you… She wants your praise… Right, my problem isn't important. But at least remember your own daughter… Remember your family! Please… Remember them." "Daddy…" Twinkle spoke up as she looked up at her father. "Don't you and Aunt Ocean know me?" Suncrest and Ocean tried hard to remember something, but it seems they had no luck. Twinkle looked down with a sad look as Brush took out his sketch pad and went over to her. "Twinkle, your dad and aunt had their happy memories with you taken and erased. Like this." He told her as he showed an unfinished drawing on a sketch pad before he used an eraser to erase it. "So… You and your mom need to make some new memories with them." He started to draw a new sketch of a family on his sketch pad. "If you do… I'm sure they're old memories will return." A smile appeared on her face when he showed her a drawing of her family happy together. "Okay!" Twinkle cheered with a happy tone before she looked at her father. "Then I'll teach you cat's cradle, Daddy!" "You really know how to turn a frown upside down." Pinkie Pie whispered to Brush in an impressed tone. Aurora walked over as her daughter, husband and sister-in-law joined hands while the rest of the group had a joyful smile on their faces. Flight however was surprised and confused of how Brush was able to get her smile. "I'll take care of them and bring them somewhere safe." Shining spoke up. "Thank you." Aurora said as they got up to leave. Ocean however saw something in the wall, the jagged crystal with the Colormarkers charging in it. The moment she saw it, she rushed over with a shocked look on her face. "Ocean, what's wrong?" "I… I saw these markers and a similar crystal at their place…" Ocean told them which surprised them. "There's something else… I remember four other crystal shards that make up a prism… but something happened to them but I can't remember…" At the Revolution's secret base, Ombre placed some Colormarkers into their crystal shard while Pin glared at Kiba. "Why didn't you finish them off?" She asked in a venomous tone. "I guess you can say I'm the game maker." Kiba told her in a cheerful tone. "I derive the best strategy by considering every possibility. I set up the pieces on the board and choose the next play. Right now, everything is going as planned." They soon heard someone coming as a black hooded figure walked up to Kiba. "Ah, glad you could make it." A Pitch came over with a high-tech bracelet that looked to be in the shape of a rectangle before the hooded figure took it and placed it on his right wrist. "Wait, he's the guy who's going to use the erasers?" Pin asked as the hooded figure took the Wendigo eraser and placed it into the device. The hooded figure then pressed the button on the bracelet before a light shined over his body. The hooded figure was now wearing black and red armor as the helmet is pitch black with a blood red visor. Prism is seen whistling as he walks through the door to Future Colors. He was then startled by a loud banging from out of nowhere. He wondered where that was coming from before he realized it was coming from the base underneath the shop. In the base, Brush is seen using a hammer as he was beating on the wall to get the crystal shard into the wall out. The others had a shocked look on their faces just as Prism came out the elevator. "Hey! What's going on down here?!" He demanded as he walked in. "What's with the racket?!" "Uncle…" Shine spoke up when he looked at him before she pointed towards Brush. "Wait! What are you doing?!" Prism asked him before he saw the rest of the crystal shard showing the more Brush kept on destroying the part of the wall. "Brush! Stop it!" Prism grabbed hold of his arms to try and stop him. "I said stop! Stop it!" He soon took the hammer out of his hand before the all saw the crystal shard not that the wall wasn't covering it. They all heard the Wisp letting out scared whimpers when they saw the shard before Brush took it out of the wall and held it out to Prism. "Ocean and her brother lost their memories when we saved them from being Blots again, but she somehow remembered this and five others like it!" Brush told Prism with a glare. "She also said that the Revolution has one of them! You built this place and that is the only reason why one of these crystal shards are here! So tell us, why do you have this?! Are you working for the Revolution?!" Prism didn't say anything as he kept quiet. "Answer me!" They all kept quiet as they all looked at Prism with disbelief and suspicion. Is Prism a member of the Revolution or not? > Chapter Five: Shocking Mystery/ The Man in the Black Armor > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Brush, Flash, Flight, Shining, and the Rainbooms were in the Art Shop as they continued to glare at Prism who was busy restocking some shelves with small bottles of paint. "You know if you all are going to be here, you can at least help out." Prism told them casually. "Don't play dumb." Brush responded with a tone before he tapped the crystal sitting on a table. "This crystal fragment was stolen from somewhere by the Revolution. Why do you have it?" He asked as he walked up to Prism. "You're a member of the Revolution, aren't you?" "I'm… The Revolution…" Prism said when he laid eyes on the fragment before looking at Shine. "...he says." This caused the both of them to let out an amusing laugh. "What's so funny?!" Flight asked angrily. "Even I don't see the joke of this." Pinkie mentioned. "Have you ever seen such a stylish bad guy before?" Prism asked them before letting out a chuckle. "So you're saying you're not part of the Revolution?" Twilight questioned before looking at the fragment. "Then what about the crystal?" "That's from when I was captured by the Revolution." Shine mentioned, which really got them all by surprise. "You mean…" Twilight trailed off as she was shocked by this news. "I was captured and experimented on by them a long time ago." Shine explained. "I really don't remember much about it though, but if it weren't for Prism I would probably be a Blot or worse." "Yup, I was a spy and trying to figure out what they were planning over in Japan." Prism explained to them. "I wasn't able to get much information on what they were planning before I found that crystal shard and Shine. So I stole it from them and rescued her in the process of escaping. I also stole the Wisp that was with it as well. Probably a few months before the attack on the company and the death of… Well you know." "So the reason you never go outdoors is because you're afraid of the Revolution coming after you again?" Fluttershy asked with a worried look. "And they still are after me." Shine added. "But they also said that there were other fragments as well." Twilight reminded them. "If we have one and so does the Revolution, that just leaves like three left. But where could they be?" "That's a good question, Twily." Shining mentioned as he leaned against the wall and crossed his arms before he looked at Prism. "Any chance you may have found where any other hideouts they have might be?" "Unfortunately, no." Prism replied. "And if you're wondering why I didn't return that fragment to the government, it is because the Revolution could be anywhere. I also wanted Brush to become Colors." Brush then looked at Prism with a surprised look after hearing that last part. "I can't forgive the Revolution. Using people has nothing more than tools for their own personal gain. But me and Shine couldn't do a thing to stop them. But then I met you, Brush. I saw you have a creative mind and a heart of gold. That day I knew you were the perfect person to use the Color Driver and color our way to the future for all. I thought you could use the power of the Wisp for good and defeat the Revolution. Now you're not doing it alone, cuz your own cousin, Flash here, has taken up the mantle of Kamen Rider Nova and is now fighting alongside you." "Something you never expected me to do, did you?" Flash asked as Prism went behind the counter. "I'm sure it took us all by surprise. And the reason why I never told you this is because I thought you would never help. So I decided I wouldn't tell you about the crystal fragment until you discover it yourself." "I guess it can't be helped." Brush said as he sat down in a chair before he looked at Prism. "If it was to stop the Revolution and save people, I forgive you." "So now what do we do?" Rainbow questioned. "Simple, I have a feeling the Revolution will be after the fragments and create more Blots with people and the Wisp." Brush said with a smile. "We get the fragments and finally to stop them, at the best we can do." Just then Sugarcoat came to the front door as Pinkie Pie quickly pulled flight behind a wall before she could see him. "I knew you worked here!" Sugarcoat said as she pointed towards Brush. "Your friends and girlfriend are looking for you." "Eh?" Soon both Brush and Twilight followed Sugarcoat to the park where the rest of the Shadowbolts from Crystal Prep are waiting. "So you're saying that I have friends and a girlfriend you girls met here?" Brush asked the Shadowbolts. "Yeah, they were playing a song right here in this park." Sunny told him. "Which by the way, really rocked." Lemon added. "Then I noticed that the girl in the band had a picture of you and her guitar case." Indigo told him. "I told them that I saw you a couple of days ago drawing something and they wanted us to bring you here." "They said that you just disappeared one day." Sour Sweet added innocently before glaring at Brush. "Why did you ditch them?!" "Whoa wait, I don't even know who you're even talking about." Brush told them. "I don't even have a girlfriend." "He's right, from all the time that my friends and I have known him, he never once mentioned other friends or a girlfriend." Twilight added before they heard two calling out. "RIPPER!!!" They quickly turned to see a teen boy with crazy red hair and blue skin while the other teen boy was wearing glasses with orange and green hair with yellow skin. Both of them seem to be wearing black and blue baggy pants with red and blue t-shirts. Both of the teens quickly ran into the park and over to Brush as it looked like they were about to give him a hug, but Brush quickly grabbed hold of their hands and flipped them over his shoulder. They then both had painful looks on their faces while they laid on the ground. "Gang dude, that was hard core." Sunny complimented. "Thanks." Brush replied before he felt a tap to his shoulder. He turned around and was face to face with a teenage girl with light purple skin and dark purple hair with a white stripe. She was wearing a black coat with a long collar around her neck that had white stripes down the leaves and was wearing black and purple pants. "Ripper, is it really you?" She asked in a dull tone. "And why did you flip Beat and Striker?" The teenage girl introduced herself as Shard Note while she introduced the teenage boy with the glasses as Striker and the other teenage boy as Beat. Brush and the girls followed them to an apartment where they found a few musical instruments and a few of their band posters on the walls. "Wow, you guys really are a band." Twilight mentioned after seeing the posters. "And judging by the writing on the posters, I say you guys are from Japan." Sugarcoat mentioned as she noticed the Japanese letters on the posters. "We're on a World Tour starting with the USA." Note told them before she looked at Brush. "It was all thanks to you, Ripper." "Eh, me?" Brush questioned. "Yeah, you're the best!" Striker declared which startled the girls. "Before any gig you got us, you always do odd jobs back in Tokyo to pay for everything!" "Once we made it here, you kept on doing odd jobs to pay for a tour." Beat added. "But then you just disappeared and we had a stop here in this town for a while." "So you three are staying in town for someone who disappeared a long time ago?" Brush asked them. "About a year ago." Note added before a wide smile appeared on Brush's face. "AMAZING!!" Brush declared before he whipped out his artist notebook and coloring pencils. "Three band members waiting for one of their own to return it! It'll be a perfect masterpiece!!" Note tilted her head a bit while Stryker and Beat looked at him and confusion as Brush closed his eyes and started drawing. After a few minutes of him drawing, he opened his eyes and turned his notebook around to show off what he drew. The ShadowBolts, Twilight and the band were amazed as the drawing was of the band with Note playing the keytar, Beat playing the drums, and Striker playing electric guitar. As the three played music, the musical notes formed a large shadowy figure with its back turned to them. "Wow! He's really good at that!" Sunny complimented. "Sorry, but when I see something that triggers my artist instincts, I just have to do it!" Brush explained while Note just said exactly what he said at the same time. He looked at her with a confused look. "How did you know I was going to say that?" He asked her. "Because you used to say that whenever you came up with a great song." Note explained. "Okay, I think you really got me confused with someone else because I have never been in a--" Brush told them before he noticed a picture on the wall which really got him by surprise. "EEEEHHHHH?!?!?!" He picked up the picture and the guy in the photo looked exactly like him, except with wild hair, wearing a leather jacket and ripped jeans, and holding a microphone. "Wow, he looks exactly like you." Twilight mentioned while she was just as surprised as him. "But my cousin, Flash Sentry, is the musician in the family and not me." "You don't have any cousins." Beat told Brush. "Both your parents were only children." This only made Brush even more confused before they heard a loud commotion coming from outside. Both him and Twilight ran out the apartment building and down the street to find a few Pitch attacking some construction workers. "Looks like the Revolution sent their flunkies out for more victims!" Twilight exclaimed as Brush pulled out his driver. "Not if I can help it." He said with determination just before he was about to put on his driver. But then both Striker and Beat bumped into him, causing him to stumble forward. "Sorry Ripper!" They both said just when Note and the Shadowbolts caught up to them. "Just… Just stay there!" He told them with annoyance in his tone before he put on his driver as the belt extended and wrapped around his waist. He then reached into his vest and pulled out the Burst Colormarker before pushing the top of it down. Burst! "Henshin!" Brush shouted as he placed the marker into his driver and transformed into Kamen Rider Colors: Burst Shade form and charged right at the Pitch. Both Striker and Beat let out screams of shock while Note and the Shadowbolts looked surprised by his transformation. "Ripper is a Kamen Rider?!" Both Striker and Beat exclaimed while Colors had his fist on fire as he punched a few Pitch, which sent them flying back into a wall before he roundhouse kicked three more. Colors then backflips to dodge an attack from one of them before he turns the dial on his driver to the image of some sort of flame. Flaming Burst Explosion! His body then got covered in flames before he turned into a ball of fire that unleashed multiple balls of fire which burst when they hit the Pitches. Each one then exploded before Colors transformed back and landed on the ground. "That was amazing, Ripper." Note complimented him. "My name is Bru-GAH!" Colors grunted as he was blasted from someone out of nowhere. They all looked up and saw a figure with black and blood red armor with a blood red under suit. The armor itself looked like it had claw marks edged down the sides while the front had a mold of some creature's skull while this armored figure was wearing armored boots and gloves that looked like skeleton limbs, but they were colored blood red with sharp edges on the sides. He also wore a full head helmet that is pitch black while the visor was blood red and held a weapon that looked oddly similar to Nova's Eagle Striker, only the beak looked sharper while the handle was black with blood red lines. On his right wrist is the rectangular bracelet with a Coloreraser in it. "What the… Who's that?!" Sour Sweet questioned after seeing the other Rider. "Kamen Rider Eraser." The armored figure introduced himself with his voice sounding a bit disoriented. He then leaped off of the building and aimed right on Colors before starting to fire at him. Colors quickly rolled out of the way from a few shots just when Eraser landed on the ground and traded blows with each other with each punch, showing that he was stronger than Colors. After kicking colors back, he charged forward and ready to blast again if Colors had not grabbed his arm and changed the direction of his aim. Eraser only let out a huff before he changed his weapon into its blade mode and began slashing Colors a few times. Sparks flew off of Colors when Eraser struck him once again and rolled on the ground. "He's very strong." Colors admitted before pulling out the Burst Colormarker from his driver and pulled out the Drill Colormarker. "Color Switch!" He switched to his Drill Shade form and clashed blades with Eraser. But Eraser seemed to be more skilled in swordsmanship as he was able to overpower Colors and knocked him to the ground. "So you are a threat to the Revolution?" Eraser questioned before he knocked Colors back when he got up. "I'll be completely honest, I'm a little disappointed." He pulled out another Coloreraser that was dark purple and with some sort of monster's mouth on the top of it. He then inserted the Eraser into the peak of his weapon as the eyes lit up. Frenzy, Erasing Slash! Dark purple energy covered the blade as he raised it up high before flashing it down. The slash turned into a monstrous head with shark teeth heading straight towards Colors. The others were worried as he did not have time to get out of the way right before a red blur swooped in and saved Colors at last second when the slash destroyed a wall. They all looked up and saw both Colors and Nova on the roof. "Oh man, that was close…" Colors sighed before he looked at Nova. "Thanks for the save." "No problem." Nova responded before he gestured to Eraser. "Who is that guy?" "He calls himself Eraser and he's really tough." Colors told him before he readied his weapon. "But let's see how tough he is when he takes on two of us!" They were about to charge at Eraser while he prepared to strike back, before a blur suddenly ran across and struck them both down. The force of that attack was so strong that it caused them to transform out of their Rider forms. The group quickly ran over to see if they were all right before they looked and saw Ombre standing next to Eraser. "Who's that?!" Sour Sweet questioned after seeing the other Rider next to Eraser. "I told you before, I can handle the rider Ombre." Eraser told him. "No!" Ombre told Eraser as he held up his arm in front of him. "We told you to fight Colors, not destroy him, not yet at least." He then took his Spray-Blastro and blasted the ground, which caused a smoke screen to cover the two. When it cleared up, both of them had disappeared. "Looks like things got more complicated." Flash mentioned before he looked at the band and the Shadowbolts. "Nice to see you girls again and who are those guys?" The group went back to Future Colors and explained everything about Brush and Flash being Kamen Riders, including the Blots and the Revolution. "So now we need to figure out what the Revolution is up to and find similar crystal shards like the one we have." Brush finished explaining. "You really been through a lot, Ripper." Beat mentioned as Brush let out an annoyed sigh. "It's Brush and yeah, I have." He replied as he crossed his arms. "It's bad enough to have Kiba and Ombre around, but now we have to deal with this new rider." "But what about that transformation device on his wrist?" Sugarcoat spoke up. "I mean, don't you have a file on it or something?" "I tried looking for anything on it, but there's nothing." Twilight mentioned. "Nothing on that high tech bracelet he was wearing orange the strange high-tech erasers he had. When I asked the Wisp about one of them that chanted 'Frenzy', they got really scared." "Why would they be scared of their own kind?" Flash asked before they heard soft rock being played. They looked over and saw Note with an iPod out as it was playing said music. "What are you doing?" "When I have a lot on my mind, I listen to some music to clear things up." Note explained before she looks at Brush. "We used to listen to this kind of music all the time when we wrote music together." As Brush listened to the song, he couldn't help but feel like he heard the song before as tears started running down his cheeks. "Are you okay?" "I… I'm fine…" He replied as he wiped the tears away. "Don't know where that came from…" "Well I got something to make you feel better." Flash said as he pulled out a Colormarker from his pocket and tossed over to Brush. Brush smiled brightly as he saw that it was the Bomb Colormarker. "Alright!" He exclaimed excitedly. "And I was thinking that I could program two new forms in both of your drivers with that Colormarker and the Quake Colormarker." Twilight mentioned as held up both of their drivers. "I just need help with the design for both of them." They then heard the front door open up to see rarity, with a goofy smile on her face and bedroom eyes, walk in. "Oh good, I'm in your help with the designs for both Brush and Flash." Rarity didn't reply as she just sat down, still with a dreamy look on her face. "Rarity? Rarity!" Beat took one of the color pencils and threw it at Rarity's head, but didn't even flinch when it hit her. "Not responding, a dreamy look on her face, all that means one thing: She's in love." Sunny told the others as Rarity let out a sigh. "Do any of you believe in love at first sight?" Rarity questioned the others as she sounded so deep in love. "Because on my way from my Boutique, I met the most wonderful man I have ever seen in my life. I struggled to carry most of the fabric I had bought for a new clothing line, and I nearly tripped when he suddenly caught me and I looked into his blue eyes. His skin was so pure white as snow and his hair was so dark with the most wonderful ruby red streaks." "Sounds like a keeper." Sour Sweet said sarcastically with an eye roll. "He was wearing the most wonderful of clothes, a black leather jacket with purple stripes up his sleeve with a patch of blood red at the ends of them." Rarity continued. "And when I introduced myself, he spoke so moving: 'A rare gem that meets a looming figure. Even when that shadow is dark as night, this radiant gem still shines as bright as the sun or the stars in the sky.'" "So he's a poet?" Flash asked her. "What's his name?" "I forgot to ask." Rarity quickly replied as she finally snapped out of it. "Oh why didn't I ask?!" "You can think about it all you want after you help us with the designs for both Colors and Nova's new forms." Twilight told her as she guided her to the lab. "The rest of us will head out and keep an eye out just in case The Revolution strikes again." Sunny mentioned before she and the other Shadowbolts left the art store. Just as they left, Flight and Sunset came from around the corner as both Beat and Striker let out a frightful scream. "It's the fugitive!!" They both shouted as Sunset quickly stood in front of Flight with her arms out. "Whoa, whoa, whoa, it's okay!" She told them. "He's innocent, he was framed!" "Remember what Ripper said about helping someone that the Revolution is after, this must be him." Note told them before she walked up to Sunset and offered a handshake. "I'm Shard Note, and this is both Beat and Striker." "Nice to meet you." Sunset replied as she shook her hand. "I'm Sunset Shimmer and this is Flight Sword." She introduced just as Striker went up and glared at Flight. "You may say you're innocent, but that's what they all--" He tried to say before Flight head butted him in the face. Striker yelped in pain as he held his head while Flight walked over and leaned against a wall. "I didn't kill anyone." He said firmly. "I know for a fact that it was the Revolution that did it, but we need proof of it that they did. Shining Armor said that he'll look into it but still need to clear my name now! Anyway, why are you weirdos here in the first place?" "We're not weirdos!" Beat shouted before Fight head-butted him. This caused Beat to hold his head and pain as well. "He's really tough!" "So you didn't kill any scientist?" Note asked Flight. "I just saw his body and nothing else." Flight answered. "From what we know so far is that he was asked to go to that apartment downtown for something and he was framed for the murder." Sunset mentioned before Striker had a shocked look on his face. "An apartment downtown?" Striker asked nervously before he looked at Flight. "I-If you didn't kill him… I gotta go!!!" He quickly ran out the door as his two friends looked confused as to why he was so nervous in the first place. "Hey!" Flight called out as he saw Striker run out the store. "Don't you dare tattle on me!" Meanwhile at the police station, Shining Armor was trying to look up some files on Pin and trying to figure out why she's with the Revolution. So far all he could find was just nothing, as if she never existed in the first place. "How can someone make an appearance and not have any records on anything?" He thought to himself before the chief of police walked up to him. "Oh, hello Chief Sombra." "Armor, why are you looking through records of some random girl?" Sombra questioned as Shining cleared his throat. "Well sir, this girl is part of a cult that's transforming people into monsters, the ones that other people have reported." Shining informed Sombra. "I've been trying to find more information on this girl named Pin, but there's no record of her on anything. It's almost as if she never existed or the cult that she's working for made it so that she doesn't exist or something." "Look Armor, your job is to protect the people, not to search for someone who doesn't exist." Sombra told him in a stern tone. "Now I want you to focus on finding the murderous fugitive, as well as keep an eye out for those Kamen Riders." "But sir, the two Kamen Riders have been handling those monsters that are people." Shining pointed out. "Them seem to cure the victims of the monsters they call Blots and--" "Armor, they're nothing but vigilantes." Sombra interrupted. "They work outside the law and I will not have that in my city. Now do your job and don't make me tell you again." As he walked away, Shining Armor wondered what's gotten under his skin. At night, Striker walks alone as he looks upset about something. "It's all my fault!" He thought to himself. "It was my fault that Ripper…!" He was so lost in his own thoughts that he didn't notice Pin and Kiba walking up behind him. "You look upset about something." Pin spoke up, causing Striker to turn around and scream when he saw Kiba. "Helps to talk about what's on your mind." "But we have an even better solution for your pain." Kiba mentioned with a sinister chuckle as they approached Striker. He tried to run away before Kiba quickly grabbed him by the throat. "And I think I know just the perfect Wisp for you." Soon Striker lost consciousness as Kiba let him go and fell to the ground. In an unknown location, Striker had awoken and was beating on the glass tube he was in to get free. A few pitches were working on turning him into a Blot as one of them brought a canister with a Magenta Wisp inside it. "Struggle all you want, the result is just going to be the same no matter what you do!" Pin called out from the scaffolding above as she looked down with a mischievous grin. "What do you need him for?" Ombre questioned Kiba. "Even I don't see the purpose of him being a Blot." Neon mentioned as she leaned against the wall. "Well, he's bait for starters." Kiba told them before the Pitches locked the cylinder in place and began the process. "But mostly I'm testing if they're the opponents." The next day at the art shop, in the underground lab where Twilight seems to be working on a weapon that looked like it had TNT for a gun. Meanwhile, Rarity was typing something on a computer while the two Color Drivers were connected to said computer. The monitor showed Colors and Nova in different forms as she was using a color pad to design both of them. Colors' new form was black with a red visor and a cowboy hat on top of his helmet while the top half of his armor looked like a pattern of a poncho. Nova's new form however looked completely different as it had boulder-like shoulder pads and large boulders on the gloves. The suit itself looked in the color of gray while the undersuit was black and the helmet looked like an isosphere with a green visor. Flash himself was sitting in a chair while he strummed on his guitar and the Crimson Wisp was moving its tendrils like it was playing guitar. Brush soon entered the room with his color notebook out as Note followed him in. "So this is your Secret Base?" She asked Brush when she got a good look around the place. "Yeah, and it's also a safe haven for the Wisp as well." Brush mentioned before he saw the new weapon Twilight was making. "Whoa! Is that the new weapon for my new form?!" "Yup. I call it Dirty Baku-Dan." Twilight told him before gesturing to Rarity. "We already thought it would be a good thing to go along with your new form." "It just struck me as a cowboy themed form." Rarity explained just as Shine walked up to Note. "So what's she doing here?" She asked. "She came to me because one of her friends is missing." Brush explained as the others were shocked to hear this. "What happened?!" Flash asked with concern. "Striker is our friend, Ripper, and he didn't come home last night." Note told them. "We already lost one of us, we can't lose another." The lights then blurred red as Twilight rushed over to the computer and saw a report that came in. "Someone just reported a Blot is attacking near the police station!" She notified both Brush and Flash. "The one where my brother works at!" "But why would it attack there?" Shine questioned before Twilight realized something. "About a month ago, there was a robbery at a museum and a Crystal Shard that looked just like the one we have was taken." Twilight told them as they were catching on what she was pointing out. "It's in the evidence lock up as we speak, it looks like the Revolution sent it there to pick it up." "Looks like Prism had the right idea of keeping the one we have here." Flight mentioned as he overheard everything they said. "How long till the new forms are done?!" Brush questioned as Rarity unplugged both drivers and handed them back to him and Flash. "Just now, darling." Rarity said as the two boys took their drivers and ran off. "Can't you let the police handle this?" Flight asked as he stood in front of the two. "You can't expect to transform and fight there anyway." "We're just going there to look." Brush told him as the Crimson Wisp back into the Colormarker Flash as the two of them went out. Note followed behind them as Flight had something on his mind. "Hey, what would happen if we didn't extract the corrupted Wisp after defeating a Blot?" He asked Shine. "Well, if it were still alive, it'd probably return to the base where it was turned into a Blot in the first place." Note said with a shrug. "But we really don't know for sure." "Back to the base, huh?" He whispered it to himself as he had an idea on his mind. Meanwhile at the police station, a magenta colored Blot with musical notes all around its body that is mixed in with a bit of black. Its head was two musical notes fused together while larger musical notes were at the end of its arms. It marched right up to the police station as some of the police had their guns out and aimed right at the Note Blot. "Ready men, and don't let up!" Sombra commanded as they were ready to fire. "Fire!" All of the police started firing at the Note Blot as sparks flew off it when the bullets hit it. "Don't let that thing take one more step towards this station!" The police continued to fire at it but it seemed to do little damage as it just kept on walking towards them. From a distance, both Brush and Flash watched as the police continued to fire at the Blot. "So the heroes can't do anything but watch?" They heard Kiba ask before they turn to see him and Eraser walk up to them. "What are you both doing here?" Brush asked while him and Flash took defensive stances. "Do you know who that Blot is?" Eraser asked as he pointed to said Blot. "Here's a hit for ya." Kiba said before he started to act like someone. "Ripper!" It was then that they both realized who they were talking about and it fit together with a Note said about one of her friends. "You took Striker and turned him into a Blot?!" Flash grunted as he clenched his fist in anger. Note was standing behind a pillar and overheard them as she and Brush looked at the Blot being attacked by the police. "That's right!" Kiba responded. "But don't get the wrong idea. He volunteered for the experiment, to help relieve him of the pain he felt. What a brave boy he was. Still, he's just a helpless fool." He mocked as he leaned against a wall. "Stop screwing with me…" Brush told him as he sounded angry as he brought out his driver. Eraser and Kiba watched as he quickly put on his driver and placed in his Laser Colormarker. "Henshin!" He shouted as he transformed into colors and charged right at the two. Flash was surprised by this before he brought out his driver and quickly transformed into Nova. Both of them then traded blows with the two evil Riders as Colors took on Kiba while Nova took on Eraser. Kiba dodged a couple of attacks from Colors before getting kicked in the guts and blasted to the ground. Eraser and Nova both clashed blades with each other as Colors' attacks seemed faster than before. Each strike at Kiba made him laugh each time he got struck. Another punch not only pushed Kiba back, but also sent a shockwave that really caught the other two by surprise. Colors then braided his rider kick as he turned the dial towards it and leaped towards Kiba. Kiba just stood there as Colors extended his leg out just when Kiba put his arms up to block the attack. An explosion then pushed him to the ground as sparks flew off his arms and Colors landed on the ground. "Hyper Resistance level 4.7?" Kiba said as he looked at his own arms. "So, emotions increase the level… Just as I hoped." "Ripper!" Note called out which got Colors' attention. "Hurry and save Striker!" She pointed towards the Note Blot, which fell to the ground from the intense fire being shot at. Colors noticed this before he turned back to Kiba, who just mysteriously vanished without a trace. "Go Brush!" Nova called out as he was being pushed up against a wall by Eraser. "I will handle him!" Colors nodded in response before he used the laser speed to quickly run and pick up the Note Blot, without any of the police officers seeing him. They were all confused as to where the monster went as Colors brought it up on the roof. "Now it's just you and me!" "Fine by me!" Eraser responded before striking Nova a few times with his blade. Meanwhile on the roof, Colors brought the Blot there before setting it on the ground. "Striker, are you okay?" He asked before the Note Blot swung its arms and struck him a few times. "I'll take that as a yes." Color than a duck under an attack from it as the Blot swung its arms at him before kicking it back. "This might be harder than I thought." Back on the ground, Nova was launched into the air by Eraser as the two of them clashed blades with each other. Eraser then spun and kicked him down to the ground before changing his weapon to blaster mode and started firing at Nova. Nova quickly rolled out of the way at the oncoming fire being shot at him just as Eraser landed on the ground. "Who are you and what exactly is the Revolution up to?!" "I'm just someone who's on a mission." Eraser responded as he took out a Coloreraser with the word 'Void' on it. "And you're in the way." He loaded it into his weapon as it charged up. Void, Erasing Blast. Eraser then pulled the trigger which fired a black hole that seemed to suck up everything in its path, heading straight towards Nova. Nova was about to get hit before Flight drove in on a motorcycle and saved him by pulling him aside when he drove by. Eraser was surprised by this before Nova looked up and was surprised to see Flight here. "What are you doing here?!" He asked Flight. "Saving you, apparently." Flight responded before he looked around. "Now where's Brush?" "Up on the roof, fighting a Blot!" Nova responded before he noticed Note wasn't around. "Looks like she must have gone to see how it's going." "I'll back him up, you take care of this guy." Flight told him before he revved up the bike and drove off. "Got it." Nova stood up and faced Eraser just as he took out the Quake Colormarker before pressing the top. Quake! He then placed it into his driver after taking out his Eagle one. Laser lights then came out of the front of the driver as it started to form a new armor. Hyper Go-on! Ready? "Color Switch!" Nova called out before he pushed the lever and transformed into his new form as his driver chanted. The rock hard brawler!  Quake Shade! All right! "I will be the wings of hope to protect everyone!" Nova declared before he charged forward and threw a punch at Eraser. Once Eraser put up his arms to block the attack, the impact sent him flying back when it landed. Nova then charged at him again and unleashed a fury of punches at Eraser, giving him little time to block the oncoming attacks. Back on the roof, Colors was having a hard time dealing with the Note Blot before he decided it was time to unleash something new. "Striker…" He said before he pulled out the Bomb Colormarker. "I'll save you now!" He then pressed the top of the marker as it lit up and chanted. Bomb Colors then traced the marker in the air and drew a bomb before placing it in his driver. Hyper Go-on! The driver then lit up a dark shade of red before laser lights shot out from the center. They started to form new armor before the driver started chanting again. Ready? "Color Switch!" Colors declared before pushing the lever and transforming into his new form while his driver chanted. The Black Lone Bomber! Bomb Shade! All right! "With this, your defeat will complete the masterpiece!" Colors declared as his new weapon formed in his hand. Dirty Baku-Dan! The Note Blot roared before charging at him with the means to attack him. Colors spun around his new weapon around his finger before aiming right at it and blasted the Blot from a distance. This caused really big damage before the Note Blot stood up and then unleashed glowing musical notes into the air before launching them towards Colors. Colors tuck and rolled under each of them before firing at each of them, showing precise aiming and showing that he can blast at a good distance in this form. Back with the fight between Nova and Eraser, Eraser was being thrown through a wall as Nova charged at him and continued to show off the strength of his new form with each punch. Eraser did all that he could to dodge or counter-attack, only for Nova to block each attack and send him flying back. Sparks came off of his armor after Nova landed a few blows to the chest. "Had enough?" Nova asked as Eraser stood up. "Why do good guys always ask that question?" Eraser questioned as he stood up and held his chest. "You may be getting stronger, but it won't be enough to stop the Revolution. No matter what you do, they'll always have backup plans whenever their first plan goes awry. If you want to stop them, look for the solution from the past." "What, what does that even mean?" Nova questioned before Eraser used his weapon to blast the ground to cause the dust to kick up in the air. Nova was not going to let him escape as he charged forward through the dust and threw a punch at Eraser just when he was about to leap in the air. Eraser dropped something when he was hit and was being thrown through a wall. Nova was about to go after him before he noticed something Eraser dropped on the ground. It looked like a USB drive as he picked it up and looked at it. "What's this?" He then heard an explosion coming from not too far and it was coming from the direction where Colors was fighting the Blot. He looked to where Eraser was sent flying before he decided to go help his friend as he raced off to do so. Note and made it to the base of the building where Colors took the Note Blot before she saw both of them fall off the building. The Blot crashed onto the ground as Colors landed perfectly on it. "Ripper! Striker!" She called out with concern. "It's okay, we got this!" Colors told her which confused her by the word 'we' before Nova showed up and delivered a punch to the face on the Blot. "Ready to end this?" Nova asked Colors as he pulled the lever on his driver out as stand by music started to play. "Let's color our way to the future." Colors replied as he took out the color marker from his driver and placed it into his weapon. Bomb, Final Color Bang! As his weapon charged up, Colors ended right at the enemy just as Nova pushed the lever in his driver for the finisher. Quake, Nova Punch Strike! The Note Blot charged right at Nova before being punched right in the face and up into the air. Colors then took aim at it before pulling the trigger and sending a large bomb shaped energy orb right at it. Once it made contact, it exploded before falling to the ground just as colors pulled out a blank Colormarker and began to absorb the essence into it. Once he got it all up, Striker returned back to normal just as the two Riders transformed out of their Rider forms. "Will he be okay?" Note asked the two as she kneeled down to her unconscious friend. "He's fine, but he might not remember what happened to him but other than th--" Brush told her before he got hit in the head by something and fell to the ground. Before Flash and Note could say anything else, they too were hit in the heads and lost consciousness by Flight. Flight then pulled the three behind some crates before he took the Colormarker with the corrupted Hyper Go-on energy inside. "Sorry, but I need answers." He told the three unconscious teens before he walked up to Stryker. He then aimed the Colormarker right at him and released the energy inside of it. Striker grunted as he felt the energy cover him again before he transformed back into the Note Blot. Flight then quickly took cover behind a pillar as the Blot stood up and began to walk away. "That's it, lead me straight to your boss so I can get my answers and my innocence back." He whispered before he carefully followed the Blot to the enemy's base.
