Turn 00

Somewhere on the Japanese island Shikinejima

Taiga Nobori, King of the Fangire, and in his Dark Kiva form was being helped by his younger half-brother Wataru Kurenai in Kiva's DoGaBaKi emperor form and Nago in Rising Ixa against the Rouged Beetle Fangire who had collected the essence of the Rook, Bishop and the previous King, they had defeated for power, as well as the Arc Bat to become Arc (but not in giant size) he had found and now was trying to activate a stone, that was brought from Korea, that would give him the powers of the eight trigrams: Tae; lake/mind, Jin; thunder, Sohn; wind, Kahn; mountain, Yi; fire, Kahm; water, Kohn; Earth, and Geun; Heaven/Sky/Metal.

However, the stone proved too much for him and caused a distortion and seemingly destroyed the Beetle Fangire, but the energy was too much for the riders to get close enough. However Sagarc and one of its giant gray self had came and tried to absorb the energy; Sagarc absorbed the stone; the energy burst had settled down but Sagarc and its giant self were seemingly destroyed as well. Taiga, who had known Sagarc since he was a baby, cried and hoped it was in a better place while being comforted by his younger brother.

However…

2017 a.t.b. at Kamine Island during the Black Rebellion (this island was based on Shikenejima)

After Kallen had left Lelouch to Suzaku, a distortion acquired and the Beetle fangire appeared; still around his waist the Arc Kibat but weakened it couldn't hold the rider form and himself was weakened. "What is that?!" said Suzaku surprised of the being. "Need, energy" said the fangire and then appeared two fangs coming closer to them; out of reflex Lelouch pushed Suzaku and the fangs came to him and then became transparent, and stain-glass. Suzaku's geass command to 'live' made him run to get of here, while the fangire slowly followed.

Sagarc came by as well and saw the transparent victim, although it was still unstable from absorbing the stone it needed to stop the Beetle fangire and had sense something from the human's still glowing left eye, 'the power of the king', and wrapped itself on his waist, replenishing his life-energy and taking control of his body. The fangire was chasing the boy who had now boarded the Lancelot flying away, and the fangire's wings were still not usable, and then came inside the cave…

(Tetra-Fang's song Roots of the King)

The figure came out and looked like he was modeled by a king's chess piece, and its eye's were changing from blue to red. "S…Saga?!" cried out the fangire, how is the Fangire King's previous form here and who's using it, thinking of the possibilities. Then came a well to known sound 'Wake Up' the Jacorder was energized and the Snaking Death-Break was performed.

The fangire shattered but its life-force energy was intact, inside of it was the Arc Kibat and guided it to escape. Saga wanted to follow but the energy from the stone had finally came back and needed to hibernate so it could adjust to its powers and so after finding a place so no-one could search a cocoon of stain-glass surrounded him for a deep sleep.

(The song ends)

Elsewhere the giant Sagarc was sinking in the ocean when it arrived and still in linked with the smaller version and was also warping itself in a cocoon to adapt with the extra energy but not before scanning a giant humanoid figure; the Gawain; and scanning how it functions and decided to reformat itself for what's to come.

The Arc Kibat had flown towards Area 11, after sensing energy that could sustain its master and went into Mt. Fuji absorbing the sakuradite but in just small amounts and wrapped itself in a cocoon and sleep until its master was fully healed.
