Fen: Hello guys! Fen and Striberx here and today, we're gonna give you a double feature!

Striberx: That's right. Today, we're doing a change and having a different character take the spotlight for this chapter, and it's my character of course.

Fen: That's right! Even though his Kamen Rider name would've been better…

Striberx: It's the best we can do with this idea. I've had a lot of thoughts and more of the name, but in the end I had to stick it with this.

Fen: Sure, whatever you say… Kyoryu Violet…

Striberx: Says Magi-Shine over here.

Fen: Hey! It fits! Magi-Shine is glorious in his golden armor!

Striberx: About as glorious as any other spandex idiot.

Fen: Nandato~?!

Striberx: You heard me!

Both: GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

Kurogasa: Ugh… while these idiots are arguing, here's the chapter…

Disclaimer: Same thing.


The next day had come by and Kurogasa was starting to look better, but still worse for wear. The battle with Medusa took its toll on him and he was defeated so easily. Not to mention that he was being toyed with throughout their entire fight. She even managed to stop his Rider Kick at that! And worst of all, she wasn't even at full strength when she defeated him. He had never felt so humiliated in his life before. He was that close to dying and if it weren't for Makarov interfering, who knows what would've happened next. As of now, Kurogasa and Lucy were in the guild hall, the latter having to help him walk to it. She thought being surrounded by guild mates would make him feel better.

"How are you feeling now?" Lucy asked, a worried look on her face.

"I'm fine." Kurogasa smiled sadly. "Sorry you had to help me walk. I know it's not the best job but…"

"We're friends, I don't mind helping you." she smiled sweetly.

"Thanks…"

"Here you go." MIrajane said, putting down a shot glass with a clear liquid in it. "That's medicine made especially by me. It should help with the healing."

"Thanks, Mirajane." Kurogasa smiled as he took the shot glass and downed the medicine, but then-

*PFFFFFFFFFFFFT!*

"Ugh… it's bitter!" Kurogasa coughed comically.

"It has to be. Otherwise it can't do its job." Mirajane stated, "Anything else added to it will just make you sick and turn you blue. After all, the more bitter it is, the better the medicine right?"

"I suppose…" Kurogasa sighed.

"Good." Mirajane smiled, "Also, when you can, think you two can get some supplies in town for me?"

"Oh… sure. No problem. Just… no heavy lifting for me. I can carry the light stuff." Kurogasa said sheepishly.

"Hehe, it's just some small supplies. Nothing too heavy for you." she reassured.

"Heh, well aren't you wimpy for a mage." A voice said arrogantly. Turning around, they saw a very tall and muscular young man with orange eyes and his hair is slicked back, its numerous spiky strands pointing backwards, though some falls down in a small tuft on his forehead. He has a distinct lightning bolt-shaped scar on his right eye and his eyes have dark circles, with each of them possessing a single, prominent eyelash jutting outwards. He donned a leopard-print, orange tunic with dark-lined sleeves reaching down below his elbows, and fur on the lower edges. He also sported a bright red cape, tied on the front with a garish knot, which bore a large, lighter Fairy Tail symbol on the back, and loose, baggy dark pants tucked inside light metal greaves. Around his waist was a simple belt to which he attached a device linked to a pair of headphones. He also had a small chain tied around his right wrist.

"Don't be rude, Laxus…" Mirajane frowned at him.

"Don't baby him, Mirajane. He's not fit to be a mage if he can't handle one opponent." Laxus scoffed.

"Who is this guy?" Kurogasa frowned.

"This is Laxus Dreyar, the master's grandson." Mirajane sighed

"Grandson?" Kurogasa gawked.

"Yeah, and soon going to run this guild." He smirked, "Runts like you, will be gone with the wind."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Kurogasa growled as he stood up, but then cringed, "Ergh…"

"It means you're nothing but a nuisance. A flop of a mage. Someone who'll die when they get their first S-Ranked quest." He stated.

"Teme~!" Kurogasa snarled as he was about to reach for his Wizard Ring.

"Kurogasa, don't…" Mirajane warned, "He's doing this to start something… And he is also one of the few S-Ranked Mages of the guild."

"You should listen to her." Laxus mocked. "It just proves that being surrounded by these women, you're even more pathetic than ever, let alone less of a man."

"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrr…! Say that again to me you bastard!" Kurogasa's blood began to boil as his fist shook heavily.

"Kuro, no…" Lucy said, holding him to calm him down.

"Heh, even letting her stop you? No wonder you lost. You're just as much as a softy as her." He smirked. "And no wonder you lost your friends and home. Nobody wants to be seen with such a pathetic man like you."

"GH!" Kurogasa's eyes hardened very badly as his body shook rather hard but Lucy kept her hold.

"Enough, Laxus." Makarov said, approaching him.

"Hmph, still kicking around, old man?" He huffed.

"You know better than to treat your juniors like that." Makarov frowned.

"Only when they earn my respect." He responded.

"We don't have time for one of your ego trips, Laxus." Makarov said. "And while you're my grandson, that does not mean that you get any special treatment just because you're an S-Ranked Mage.

"Maybe so. But once I run this guild, I'll do as I please." He said, walking past them as he bumped Kurogasa in the shoulder. The teen flinched as he felt a sharp, electrical sting from the contact. "You better lose that wimpy attitude of yours kid, otherwise you'll be dead like the rest." And with that, he left them alone.

"Oh Laxus…" Makarov sighed heavily. "I'm very sorry about my grandson, Kurogasa. He tends to be hot-headed like that."

"It's… fine…" Kurogasa muttered.

"Come on, we should get going…" Lucy said.

"Right…" Kurogasa muttered before they both left the guild to pick up supplies.


The Land of Fiore.

A country in a world of magic where it is bought and sold everywhere like normal items.

There are mage guilds scattered all over Fiore, but there's a certain guild where countless legends are born and will continue to make legends into the future.

It's name is Fairy Tail.

And on this day, the legend known as The Diamond of Hope: Kamen Rider Wizard will begin.


(Cue Life is SHOW TIME by Shō Kiryūin)

(Maji ka?! Maji de?! Maji da! Show Time~!) The montage starts with Kurogasa as Kamen Rider Wizard with the entrance of Fairy Tail behind him. He scans the Dragorise Ring and raises his arm in the air before a big magic circle appears from above and WizarDragon comes out of the magic circle, flying into the sky. Kamen Rider Wizard then jumps onto WizarDragon's before the latter spew out flames, making the title: A Real Wizard's Fairy Tail appear before WizarDragon flew away, made a u-turn, and flew towards the screen before shifting to the next scene.

(Maru de tsuki to taiyou) The first scene shows Natsu in the lunch hall who got into a fight Gray over something trivial and they started fighting senselessly until Erza beat both of them to a pulp, annoyed by their antics.
(Kasanaru toki no shougeki!) The scene then changed to the bar with Lucy sweat dropping at their usual bout while Mirajane served her food, before the former looked up and noticed Kurogasa who was by himself near the window.
(Dare datte kiseki wo shinjitemitai) Kurogasa looked at his Style Rings in one hand before clenching them and looked out the window up in the sky as a solar eclipse happened and the scene suddenly shatters to pieces.

(Kitto hitsuyou~ fukaketsu no) The next scene shows Koji who was a bar drinking to his heart's content and chatting with the beautiful ladies before seeing the solar eclipse out the window in his drunken state.
(ENAJII~ kokoro tame) Then it shifts towards Cody who sighed to himself, walking around the capital with nothing to do, wishing that he had his games right now, before he looked up to see the solar eclipse as well.
(Yume to yosou ii ima de uragitte kureru mono~) The scene then changes to a quick montage of the other characters show starting with Elfman, Lisanna, Wendy, Carla, Gajeel, Levy, Cana, Freed, Gildarts, Mystogan, Loke, Laxus, Makarov, and finally a silhouette of a Phantom before light shone on it to reveal Wiseman, before the camera shows Kurogasa, ready to transform.

(3! 2! 1! Show Time!) On "3" He flips his Hand Author to the left. At "2" Kurogasa slips on his Flame Style ring. At "1" he places the Flame Style ring in front of the Hand Author. And at "Show Time" a bright white light engulfs the entire screen before fading to the next screen.

(Magic time~! trick janai!) Kurogasa transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard and twirled around before showing his Flame Style ring.
(Mahou wo hero hanpa nee zo [Mahaluto Hallelujah!]) Garuda, Unicorn, Kraken, and Golem jump towards the screen before showing Wizard stuck his arm out to the side as the elements of fire, water, wind and earth spread out behind him.
(Kioku no ROOTS moguri-konde) The spell circles slide over Kurogasa, changing him into Water Style, Hurricane Style, and Land Style.
(Kibou wo tsukui dasou~) In Land Style, Kurogasa uses the Drill ring to drill down into the ground, disappearing.

(Show Time!) The guild members of Fairy suddenly pop up from the screen shouting "Show Time!" before popping down to reveal the next scene.

(Life is Show Time! tobikkiri no) The next scene shows Kurogasa riding on the Machine Winger with Lucy sitting behind him as WizarDragon flew beside them before Kurogasa revved up his Rider Machine and jumped on WizarDragon's back, letting the wheels of the machine become the wings.
(Unmei DORAIVU mucha shitemo [Mahaluto Hallelujah!]) WizarDragon then flies through a magic circle, appearing on the other side flying over the top of Magnolia.
(Kinou, kyou, ashita, mirai) Lucy smiled seeing the sight, but the joy was cut short when Natsu suddenly appeared next to them thanks to Happy who was carrying him as he flew, before he got in between them and Lucy got ticked off before punching off WizarDragon, sending straight to the ground with Happy diving in to save him.
(Subete no namida wo~!) As they passed the Fairy Tail guild, two silhouettes of Riders appeared, watching WizarDragon fly by, smiling behind their helmets.

(Show Time!) The members of Fairy Tail pop out of nowhere again and shouts "Show Time!" before popping back down to the next scene.

(Houseki ni kaette yaru ze) Four versions of Wizard, each one in a different style, converge on one another, merging into one in a big flash of light.
(Maji ka?! Maji de?! Maji da! Show Time~!) Team Natsu appear and they smirked at the camera as Kurogasa smirks while putting on the Flame Style ring and transforms into Wizard one more time as he and Team Natsu freeze, the show logo appearing.


Chapter 7: An Ancient Awakening

Cody stood within the training hall, looking over himself as he looked to the calendar on his locker, showing that it has already been two months already. A lot has happened since then and as of now, he's just wanting to repay Hisui for everything she's done for him.

"Another day… wonder if we can hang out this week?" Cody pondered softly, wanting to have another enjoyable day with the princess.

"Cody." A voice said. Cody turned around to see Arcadios approach him.

"Captain Arcadios?" Cody tilted his head.

"How are you faring?" He asked.

"It's… a new experience to say the least. But I've gotten used to living life here in the castle." Cody said sheepishly.

"Well, judging from your performance, you're a quick learner." Arcadios noted. "Don't worry, you'll get used to it." He patted his back.

"R-Right." Cody laughed nervously. 'And here I thought he was all stiff from the get-go.'

"Private!" Another voice called out, as from afar came a bronze armored knight. It has several bone-like pieces, most likely from his' stories' he loves to tell. This was Lieutenant Masine, the one who trains every soldier. And one who always likes to rough up the newbies.

"Oh great, it's him again…" Cody groaned.

"Stop standing around. Keep it up and I'll make you clean every barrack in the castle." He threatened, turning to Arcadios, "Sir, I apologize for the newbie. In return for his laziness, he'll clean your room."

"What?!" Cody gawked, "But I'm supposed to be off-duty for the festival!"

"With that attitude? You seem more willing to work."

"You're kidding me!"

"Enough Masine." Arcadios frowned. "He has done admirable work during these past two months. I do not see any reason why he needs to work harder than necessary."

"Sir, with all due respect, in these parts, I reign over it. You of all people should know that, since the king appointed me here long before you." Masine noted. "My rules in the training halls are law."

"Surely you-"

"Captain, it's fine." Cody sighed. "It's just another day. I might as well get it over with…"

Arcadios frowned but sighed as he nodded, "Very well… just don't push yourself too hard. The Princess worries when you do that."

"Hey, if it's for the Princess then it's all worth it." Cody nodded with a smile.

"Private! Stop stalling! Drop and give me 500!"

"Ugh… and here we go…"


Meanwhile, from atop of the balcony that oversaw the courtyard, Princess Hisui looked on as Cody was training with Masine. She frowned in worry, knowing that these past two months have been tiring for him. He has been such a hard worker, and that he should be rewarded for his efforts. However, seeing him train like this, she can't exactly do that.

"I may need to have a word with Masine about this…" Hisui said. "But it'll wait before he comes to the festival."

"Something troubling you?" Hisui turned around to see an old man who was rather short who wore striped overalls, held up by a belt at the waist, under a cape while also wearing a crown. This was the king of Fiore. Toma E. Fiore.

"Father…" She said softly as she turned, "I'm just… worried that he's overworking himself for me."

"Understandable." Toma said as he jumped on top of the balcony to oversee the courtyard. "Even though he is an outsider, I'm starting to like him."

"I just wish Masine would ease up… his training sessions always do such more work on the recruits." she noted.

"Hisui, as much as I understand your plight, Masine-"

"Stop defending him father!" Hisui raised her voice. "You and I both knew that ever since he was here, more and more recruits have started to dwindle leaving the security of the castle in more danger than ever and the recruits can't even keep up with his kind of training. They give up after a week, two weeks at most."

Toma sighed, knowing she was right. The defense of the castle is growing less and less which would put his daughter in more danger. "You're right. I'll speak to him before the festival." He said.

"Thank you, father." Hisui sighed in relief.

"Now, now. Time for your lessons." He smiled softly, "Then you can get ready for the festival a lot earlier."


Meanwhile, back in Magnolia…

After getting supplies for Mirajane, Kurogasa had opted to stay in the apartment. Thankfully, he was able to move around and work on more rings. Though as he worked on them, he had this melancholic look on his face. He was still thinking about what Laxus had said to him earlier today,

'He's not fit to be a mage if he can't handle one opponent.'

Those words kept ringing in his ear as he growled softly, as he could only see Laxus's smirk.

'Runts like you, will be gone with the wind.'

'You're nothing but a nuisance. A flop of a mage. Someone who'll die when they get their first S-Ranked quest.'

'It just proves that being surrounded by these women, you're even more pathetic than ever, let alone less of a man.'

'No wonder you lost your friend and home. Nobody wants to be seen with such a pathetic man like you.'

"KUSO!" Kurogasa shouted as he banged his fist on the table.

*KNOCK KNOCK*

"WHO IS IT?!"

"I-It's me, Kurogasa…" Lucy's voice came from the other side, though sounded sad from his response, "I-I'll… leave you alone…"

Kurogasa flinched before sighing and went to the door to open it. "I'm sorry Lucy… come on in."

"Laxus still on your mind?" she said, walking in.

"I'd be lying if I said no." Kurogasa said, as he walked back to his desk and sat on his chair.

"Kurogasa, you really shouldn't let it get to you." Lucy said, "Laxus doesn't know anything about you, like I do."

"I know… it's just…" Kurogasa looked down sadly, looking at his hands. "I just wish I was strong enough."

"You are strong." Lucy said, "You just got caught off guard."

"Maybe…" Kurogasa muttered before he saw the Celestial Spirit Key user hold his hands, causing him to look up at her.

"Don't you think that about yourself," She said, "You are so much stronger than you think."

"Lucy…"

"Don't you ever doubt yourself, okay? I don't want to see you like this, to see you think you're nothing when you're the best thing that has happened to everyone," She said to him, tears almost building up around her eyes.

"!" Kurogasa looked surprised seeing Lucy the way she is before smiling while looking down, "Heh. Someone once said that there are two things a man must never do: one is to make a girl cry and the other is not handle food so crudely and I messed up on the first one…" He chuckled, before looking at Lucy with a smile, "Alright Lucy, you win. I'll try to smile more often."

Lucy soon smiled back, wiping her tears away, "Good…"

"Well, I guess now's a good time to teach you how to make a Wizard Ring."

"Huh?"

"I gotta make it up to you." Kurogasa said sheepishly rubbing the back of his nape. "Besides, that Eisenwald mission got us sidetracked…"

Lucy smiled, "I would love to learn how to make a ring." She said, eager to learn.

"Great!"


"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh… no more…" Cody groaned as he plopped on the ground, face first, feeling very exhausted from all the training that Masine put him through. If it could actually be called training.

"Hmph, I think you've done enough. Clean up and prepare to clean Arcodias's room." Masine said with disappointment.

"Yes sir…"

"Good, now get going Private." He ordered.

"Masine." the lieutenant turned to see Toma approach him.

"Ah, good to see you, sire." He saluted.

"May I speak with you?"

"Hm? What for?"

As he was talking, Hisui sneaked up trying to take Cody away. Cody was still tired, but he looked confused as to why she was there. He then looked towards Toma who was talking with Masine, and he discreetly looked at Cody, giving him a thumbs-up, meaning as a sign to get out of there while he could as he distracted Masine. The blonde smiled as he followed the Princess to finally get some rest and be ready for the festival.

"I wish to speak to you about your methods lately." Toma informed. "While you do produce some of our best soldiers, lately we are now losing more recruits than gaining soldiers. I want you to dial it back so they don't quit from the pressure."

"Your Majesty, surely you don't think my methods are too severe." Masine said.

"With how we haven't had any new recruits lately? I do."

"Your Majesty, with all due respect-"

"Enough, Masine." He interrupted, "This is an order from your king."

Masine flinched at this before relenting, "Yes, Your Majesty."


"Whew… thanks for saving me back there," Cody sighed in relief as he and Hisui were walking around the capital. "I was just about to die from all of that training…"

"Of course, Cody." Hisui giggled, "Couldn't let my star soldier be like that everyday."

"Yeah, tell me about it. I wanted to actually punch the guy."

"If it was me there, I would fire him on the spot." She huffed, her cheeks puffed out.

"Heh… that I would've loved to see." Cody chuckled.

"Once I'm 20, I can since that's my coronation." She winked.

"Heh, right."

"I'm serious."

"Oh I know. I'm just agreeing with ya." Cody said.

Hisui smiled softly, "So, since it's gonna be awhile before the festival…" she said, hooking her arm around his, "Ice cream?"

"Double scoops?"

"With extra sprinkles." she winked playfully.

"Might as well add whipped cream and cherry on top."

"I like your style." she giggled.


"Gah! This is ridculous! I should've killed those two mahoutsukai already!" Phoenix roared.

"Gehehe, you're just sore you didn't get to fight." Gremlin giggled.

"Shut up, Gremlin!"

"That boy won't be moving. At least for a while." Medusa said, before bowing to her leader. "I've instilled fear as you requested, Lord Wiseman."

"Good. I've also learned from Anansi that his target is growing thin. He will soon perish as well and obtain that unique Phantom you saw within him, Medusa." Wiseman said.

"You speak of the boy that accompanies the Princess?"

"Yes. And I'm sure Anansi will put that young man into despair. It would be a shame if… something terrible happened to Fiore's only heir…" Wiseman chuckled mirthlessly.

"I shall set up a Lacrima for us to view his despair, Lord Wiseman." Medusa bowed.

"See that you do."


"Mmmmmmmmmm, this is the best." Hisui giggled to herself, taking a spoonful of her ice cream

"Just as good as the ice cream from where I'm from." Cody smiled, having his own flavors, "Though you guys still have small amount of flavors. But hey, I can't complain."

"How many do you have in your world?" Hisui asked.

"Ehh… about 1000." He shrugged.

"One thousand?" Hisui gasped.

"Oh yeah, trust me. You have no idea the many flavors they come up with. It's insane."

"Is it possible that you know how to recreate some of them?" She asked, a bit excitedly.

"Uh… not really," He sweat dropped.

"Aw poo…" The princess frowned softly, hoping to try some out.

"S-Sorry…" He laughed sheepishly.

"After this, I think a walk around the botanical garden would be peaceful, don't you agree?" She smiled at him.

"Yeah, I think it'll be nice." Cody smiled.


"Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… damn that King!" Masine growled as he stomped down the hallway. "How dare he questions my methods!"

"Oh relax. You won't have to keep up with his charade for very long." A voice giggled as Masine turned to see Gremlin sitting on the branch of a tree. "Hello~ Anansi."

"L-Lord Gremlin! I didn't know you were here." He said, bowing to the general before he shed his old human self to reveal his true form.

His legs were thick and muscled with shaggy calves and two-clawed toes. He also wore a shaggy black loincloth with a belt that was adorned with a yellow gemstone. His chest was muscular, painted with the white forms of a small human, a snake, a bee, and a leopard. His abdomen was oddly shaped and his arms were longer than normal, sporting three-clawed hands. His face looked like a tribal mask, metal or stone carved into it and adorned with eight gemstone-like eyes. The sides were adorned with scraggly black hair and spider-like legs. On his back was a bulge, an abdomen-like extension, to enhance his spider looks. Tied to his waist was a gourd-like object with a cork sticking out of the top.

"What do you need of me?" Anansi questioned.

"Oh nothing. Just checking on you." Gremlin said. "I thought I'd entertain myself by watching you putting that boy into despair."

"Che, it's harder than it looks now that the King is putting me on his tabs…" He spat out.

"Oh don't you worry about that. I'll… distract him."

"Just… don't get caught…" He warned.

"Oh don't be silly. Me being caught? Never."


"Whoa… okay, this botanical garden is amazing…" Cody said with awe as he ventured around the garden with Hisui. All over the area was several plants, flora and more. Some resembling and almost the exact same ones from Earth, but then new ones caught his eye as he could see several unique designs ranging from beautiful to unique.

"Isn't it?" Hisui smiled. "I used to come here to take walks around here with my mother."

Cody then turned to her, a worried look on his face, "Does… that mean…?" He questioned, hoping he wasn't bringing up any bad memories.

"It's fine." Hisui smile became sad. "It was a long time ago."

"I'm… very sorry to bring up those memories, Princess…" Cody apologized, "I… know how it feels to lose someone… I lost my older brother in a car accident long ago too…" He admitted as the princess turned to him, "The worst part was the fact that during those days, I was too focused on my own life than trying to have him involved in it. And by the time I realized my mistake, he was already gone."

"Oh Cody…" Hisui murmured sadly. "I'm sorry to hear that."

"Thanks." Cody tried to smile before looking up in the sky. "While I have gotten past that pain, it's a mistake I wished I could fix. But I know he's proud of me and remain with me forever."

Hisui smiled softly as she nodded, "And I know that it's the same with me and my mother…" She said, looking up at the blue sky as well, "And I promise, once I become the ruler of Fiore, I'll make sure to do her proud and run this country with as much hope and peace as possible. To where everyone can feel safe and free."

"Princess…"

"Too bad you won't live to see it."

Hearing that dark voice, made the young blonde flinch as he and the Princess turned to see the one speaking to them. Upon doing so made Cody's blood run cold as his eyes widen to see that a Phantom was standing there in front of them. This was bad news as he was shocked to see that they exist here as he quickly got in front of the princess.

"Phantom? How are you even here? No… how do you even exist?!" He questioned.

"Hah! How rich of you to say that to me, recruit!" The Anansi Phantom said.

Cody flinched once more, as his eyes grew more with shock, "Lieutenant Masine?" He got out.

Hisui turned to Cody then back to the Phantom with as much shock as him, "What?! Are you sure Cody?"

"Yeah… That tone is too engraved in my mind…" He nodded. "But how? Why are you here and after Hisui? She already has her magic unlocked. You can't make a Phantom from that."

"Who said I was talking about her?"

Cody's blood ran even colder as his spine sent a chill through it, "W-What?" He got out, unable to process what the Phantom just said.

"That's right. You're a Gate. And I will take pleasure in bringing you into despair. Unfortunately, your daddy can't save you at the moment. He's a little… tied up at the moment."


In the throne room, Toma was helplessly suspended from a lot of ropes, being tied up by many that were just all over the place.

"SOMEONE GET ME DOWN FROM HERE!"


"Despair? But what could-" Cody almost went pale as he turned to Hisui, "Princess! Get out of here, now!"

"What?" Hisui asked.

"You have to get out of here now! Run!" Cody urged.

The Anansi Phantom only smirked, as he reeled his head back before spewing out several threads, as it quickly gripped upon Hisui as he yanked her towards him. Once done he had his claws around her throat, gripping on it tightly.

"Hisui!" Cody cried out, as he reached for the short sword he had on his person. He knew this may not work, but he had to try something.

"Ah, ah, ah. Move one step closer, and your Princess dies." Anansi threatened.

"Gh…" Cody gritted.

"Hehehe, how easy this was. I should've done it so long ago." Anansi chuckled, "Now, toss your weapon away." He ordered. Cody wanted to not do that, but he no other choice. The Princess's life was at stake. With great reluctance, he tossed his sword away. "Good, good." The Anansi Phantom then once more reeled his head back before spewing the threads onto the young blonde, trapping him under loads of silk, forcing him to the ground and unable to move.

"Bastard, what are you going to do?!"

"Simple… I plan to let her go… into oblivion." Anansi grinned, as he tossed her at one of the garden's largest trees. She cried out in pain from the toss as she landed on the ground, only for her to see the Phantom launch several attacks at the tree, causing it to crumble and fall on top of her.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Cody cried out. 'I-I.. failed her…'

*BA DUMP!*

"Geh… Gaauuuuggggghh!" Cody cried out, groaning in pains as the markings of the awakening Phantom began to surface as several magical cracks began to appear and spread throughout his body. His Phantom was awake and ready to break out.

*CRACK!*

"Yes… YES! Fall more into despair, brat!" Anansi grinned, "You failed your duty. The Princess is dead and you failed what you promised. You couldn't keep it or your word… Just like your brother…"

"I… I did… I did break my promise…" Cody said, tears running down his face as once more, he lost another person her cared for as the cracks started to spread even more over his body. "I'm so sorry… I couldn't…"

EXPLOSION! NOW!

"H-Huh?" Cody got out.

In moments, a large powerful blast erupted in front of Anansi, causing him to cry out in pain and being launched backwards. As standing there was none other than Kamen Rider Wiseman. But in his other arm was none other than Hisui, safe minus some cuts and bruises.

"Princess!" Cody called out, as the White Wizard walked over and freed him from his bindings and the cracks from his body glowed golden before fading away. The blonde though looked hesitant at the sight, "Wiseman… why are you here?"

"Hm? I am not Wiseman. I am Merlin."

"E-Ehhh?!" Cody gawked. "Wait, then… why are you even here?"

"I was keeping some tabs on you and your friends." Merlin informed, "But when my magic sensed you going into despair, I quickly came to help… and to give you this…" He said, handing him what looked to be the White WizarDriver.

"The… White WizarDriver…" Cody got out.

"You quickly regained your hope. Even if it was at the sight to know your Princess is okay." Merlin noted, "And with that, you now gained your magic."

"You mean… I can… become a Kamen Rider?"

"Yes… Though, are you willing to take the risk of being a mage?" Merlin questioned.

Cody was silent for a moment as he looked to the unconscious Hisui before nodding, "If that's what it takes to protect the Princess then so be it. I'll become Kamen Rider Wizard."

"I'm sorry but your friend Kurogasa has taken that role."

"What?! Then… what about Kamen Rider Beast?"

"Koji."

"Oh come on! I don't wanna be Mage!" Cody whined.

"Who said you have to be?"

"Wait, what?" Cody asked, but then paled. "Oh no! Nononononononono! I'm not becoming Sorcerer!"

"That… was my son." He said with a sigh.

"Your what?!"

"Look, magic can always change. Same goes for us. I have no idea what could happen upon giving this to you. Only you can know that by taking it." Merlin said, "So stop stalling, we don't have much time before the Phantom gets back up."

"F-Fine."

Cody grabbed the driver as he placed it onto his waist, in moments it glowed as the young blonde was soon blinded by the light for a moment.

"What… is this…?" He got out.


As Cody reopened his eyes, he saw himself within a black void, with purple gems and lights below him. All around he also saw what looked to be fossils. Fossils of several dinosaurs and prehistoric reptiles of the past. This somewhat amazed the blonde as he began to walk through this void, hoping to find his Phantom and begin his rider journey.

"Where am I? Is this… my Underworld?" He wondered.

"Dumb brat, let us out of this prison!"

"What the-" Cody turned around, only for his eyes to widen in seeing… a large, t-rex. But this one had several skulls on its body. The knees of the beast had honey yellow triceratops skulls, moss green raptor claw on the side of its feet, orange stegosaurus spikes on its tail and a rusted red t-rex skull on its face. It was large as within the center of its forehead was a purple gem that glowed. It loomed over him like a towering beast, growling softly as it had the presence of a long lost king of the land. This… was Cody's Inner Phantom.

"We said, release us, human!" The Phantom roared.

"Wait, we?" Cody asked.

"We are many. We all live here…" It said, as the skulls glowed as he started to hear chatter, roars and growls from the several remains of the dinosaurs that laid within.

"Well you're all not getting out of here!" Cody said defiantly.

"We said release, us!"

"Filthy ape! We shall be free!"

"Hungry… need to feast!" Everything started to talk, demanding to be free and roam Fiore.

"NO!" Cody shouted again as everyone went silent. "All of you are here for a reason! And that is to help me defeat the Phantoms! You want something to devour? Then help beat the Phantoms and you can eat all of their mana as much as you want!"

The large, physical version of this Phantom stood in front of him as it kneeled down, "Human thinks it can control us? What makes human so special?" It asked, snorting into his face.

"I'm not anyone special, but at least I have the guts to take on anything in this world!"

The Phantom 'blinked' before it bellowed out in laughter as the others joined in, laughing at what he just said. "Human funny! Human thinks it can take on everything!" The Phantom chuckled.

"Tough talk for someone who lets a falling rock from space destroy you guys," Cody taunted.

The Phantom growled, snorting as fire spewed from it's mouth, "Do not insult us, human!"

"Why shouldn't I? Because it's the truth! A truth you can't handle!"

"Prove it…" The voices said in unison. In moments the Phantom roared as the gem on its forehead was removed as it floated up and towards the young teen, floating in front of him.

"This is us…"

"Use it, and you'll gain power unrivaled…"

"But… use it too much?"

"WE take over…"

"We… devour…"

"We rule…"

"Can human handle that responsibility?" The Phantom asked, leaning down to look at him in the eyes, wondering if he can handle this.

"If it's to protect the Princess, then yeah."

The Phantom went silent. Looking deep into the blonde's eyes. He wasn't showing fear nor despair. He was showing his hope and courage. One that was interesting to the beast. It bellowed out again before the gem floated towards Cody as it landed in his hands.

"Then fight. But don't forget what we can do to you… boy." The Phantom said.

"I know… and I won't Kyoryu." Cody smirked, giving the Phantom it's names as he placed the ring onto his finger. "Alright, enough waiting around. Saa, ore ga kyobona!" Cody announced as he placed the gem onto the belt buckle Merlin gave him.

KYORYU! REVIVE!


As the light continued to bloom and glow, the rubble near by shook as it broke away as the Anansi Phantom crawled out, anger and unwilling to wait. But as it did, it noticed the light glowing where his target was, showing he could become a new foe.

"No… I won't let this happen!" It cried out as it rushed to the unconscious Princess.

EXPLOSION! NOW!

The White Wizard's magic circle appeared in front of him and caused an explosion, sending the Anansi Phantom flying back. "GAAAAAAAH!"

"You're too late. He has already awakened." Merlin said, as he gestured to the new Kamen Rider.

KYORYU! REVIVE! AWAKEN THE ANCIENT KING!

As the light died down, standing there was a new mage. One wearing a greyish suit with tail coats. The chest was similar to amethyst as the shoulder pads held a triceratops and stegosaurus skull on them. The kneecaps had raptor and pteranodon skull, along with the forearms having two halves of a spinosaurus skull on there, as the head was donned with a t-rex skull with the same amethyst gem within. The belt aso changed as it cracked and crumbled away as the red trim was now purple and the hand was a claw.

"W-What the? What is that?!"

"Kamen Rider… Kyoryu…" Cody said, turning to the Phantom.

"Kamen Rider… Dinosaur…" Merlin deadpanned behind his mask. "Great naming sense."

"Hey! You think of a better name Mr 'White Wizard'." cody snapped.

"I think Kamen Rider Warlock would work just fine…"

"Says the 'White Mage' of King Arthur." He snickered.

"Now see here you whippersnapper!"

"I could care less! This means I get to kill you instead!" Anansi growled as it spat out some magical web bombs at them.

"I don't think so!" Cody shouted as he took out a ring, and flipped the Claw Author before scanning. It was a yellow ring with the triceratops skull on it as it glowed.

TORIKERA! REVIVE! RUSH! PLOW! UNEARTHED TRICERA!

In moments the skull of the triceratops roared as it popped off from his arm as the t-rex skull was soon replaced with the Tricera Skull. Three horns then sprouted from the skull as bone-like armor soon came from the ground before attaching onto him. He huffed and stomped as it shook the ground like a tremor.

"Oh dear… this could get ugly…" Merlin murmured.

Cody soon rushed towards the Phantom, bursting through the web-bombs like paper as with each step it made Anansi fall to his knees, unbalanced. Once the rider approached him, he reeled his fist back before striking the Phantom in the shoulder. However, the Anansi Phantom was quick to collapse into many spiders and get away before reforming.

"Lousy lizard man! See how you like this?!" Anansi shouted as he opened up his gourd to release a swarm of wasps.

"Gah! I hate bugs!" Cody growled, replacing the ring with a new one. This one was dark green with the raptor skull and a lightning bolt behind it. He flipped the Claw Author and placed it onto it.

RAPTOR! REVIVE! SWIFT! SLASH! DANGEROUS RAPTOR!

The skulls roared and replaced one another again as the raptor skull and green gem were front and center. But that wasn't all as two sickle bone claws formed on his wrists and feets as with a swipe, he erased the wasps like it was nothing.

"WHAT?!"

"Sorry, but you're gonna have to do better than that." Cody said, before switching rings again. This one was dark blue with the stegosaurus skull and a sword and shield behind it. He flipped the Claw Author one more time and scanned it.

STEGO! REVIVE! MAKE! BREAK! WONDEROUS STEGO!

The dark blue gem was formed as the stegosaurus skull was quickly placed on. In moments stegosaurus plates appeared on his back as from the ground came a sword and shield made from the plates and spikes from the dinosaur.

"How about you stop being the coward you are and fight me?" Cody taunted.

"I will not be made a fool out of!" Anansi shouted as he stuck out his arms and pythons shot out from his fingers.

"Geez, Orochimaru much?!" Cody groaned as the snakes were coming in fast to strike him. He used the shield to block their fangs and venom spit while the sword in the other hand swung by, cleaving them in two with ease. He soon rushed ahead as the sword folded into the plates of the stegosaurus before recombining back together to form a double bladed axe as he swung it downward where the hand was, embedding it within the ground.

"GAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Now to make the pay for all those ridiculous training exercises!" Cody said as he took out a ring and went back to his default form. "And for harming Hisui!"

KYORYU! REVIVE! AWAKEN THE ANCIENT KING!

Once he was donned into his base form. He took out one last ring which depicted a t-rex skull howling out what looked to be a boot, engulfed in flames as the gem was more greyish than the usual orange colored magic rings.

EXTINCTION! KICK STRIKE! IKUZE!

As the magical glyph appeared below the young rider, a shadowy silhouette of the Kyoryu Phantom appeared behind the rider as purple flames surrounded his leg, consuming it within the fire as he looked up before jumping high into the air. He made a single backflip to the Phantom before it roared, spewing torrents of purple flames as it shot out the rider towards the Phantom.

He flew through the air before he extended his leg and let out a battle cry towards the Phantom. As the kick connected the head of the Kyoryu Phantom reappeared, before chomping down onto Anansi as a large, purple explosion erupted from the contact and phantasmile strike as the Anansi Phantom cried out in agony before Cody landed behind, striking a pose that he decided to use from Kyoryu Red.

"You're extinction… has arrived." Cody called out.

"Well done young one." Merlin nodded in approval.

"Any… one else seeing the… world spin?" Cody panted out, quickly losing his armor as he fell to the ground, exhausted and for now unconscious.

Merlin sighed heavily, "Seems he used too much magic in that fight. No matter. He did well enough." He said, before taking out the Connect ring, "They need rest, and I know the king will be happy to see them safe." He said, opening a portal to Hisui's room as he placed them inside.


"Unnnnnnngh, did anyone get the number of that bus that hit me…?" Cody groaned as he slowly opened his eyes to find that he was in his room. "What… happened…?" He wondered.

"Cody! You're okay!" Hisui's voice rang out before the Princess quickly tackle hugged him, her grip tightening around him with worry.

"Oho! Ow!" Cody cried out in pain.

"!" Hisui quickly backed off, as she saw him breathing, giving her relief, "Thank goodness… you're okay…"

"I should be… saying that to you…" He groaned. "Oh man, I feel like a caravan just ran over me 500 times…"

"She is a little banged up, but alright." Toma said with a smile. "May I ask what happened and why the maids found you two so injured?"

"Y-Your Majesty!" Cody stuttered as he tried to bow. "Owowowowow…"

"Easy, Cody. Relax." He assured the teen.

"S-Sorry sir…" He apologized, relaxing a bit.

"Now… what pray tell happened?" He repeated.

"Masine… he… he was a Phantom."

"A Phantom?" He blinked with confusion.

"Monsters born from the despair of those who have the potential to become Mages." Cody said. "The original Masine was probably a Gate and when he fell into despair, the Phantom killed him from the inside and thus the Anansi Phantom was born now only disguised as Masine."

Toma looked at the teen surprised, along with Hisui. This was new information and they didn't even know the change. It's unsure even how long he was like this, cause as far as they knew, it could've happened any time.

"My word…" Toma got out, "But what was he doing?"

"The same that every Phantom does. Find a potential Gate to drive to despair in order to add more Phantoms to their ranks."

"So… this potential was in you, Cody?" Hisui asked as he nodded.

"Yeah. I don't know how but when I came to this world, somehow I became a Gate."

"And you beat him?" Hisui asked as he nodded once more.

"I see… Thank goodness you're both okay." Toma said, with a sigh of relief.

"By the way, what happened to you?" Cody asked Toma. "Masine said you were tied up."

"Oh yes, well," Toma cleared his throat. "It all happened so fast, I didn't know what was happening. This green blur just suddenly tied me up in ropes as if he was toying and pranking me just for the fun of it."

"I… see…" Cody blinked, but shook his head. "But anyways, Your Majesty. It's possible that Phantoms have infiltrated and are disguised as many of your staff."

"Hmm… how do you propose we snuff them out? I do not wish for my kingdom to have these monster roaming around, harming my citizens." He questioned.

"That's where I come in." A voice said as they all turned around to see Merlin approach them.

"Wow… you really are Merlin of the Arthurian legend." Cody said.

"You know of him, Cody?" Toma asked the teen.

"Sort of." Cody said. "He's actually a fictional character that's not supposed to exist but… seems his 'myth' is now fact."

"I see…" Toma nodded as he turned to the white robed, wizard, "I must thank you for saving my daughter and her friend. We are in your debt."

"I am only doing what is right." Merlin said before turning to Cody. "Now then Cody, since your powers have just awakened, you will need to learn to control your magic. As of now, it's running rampant and if not in check, who knows what might happen."

"So, what should I do?" He asked.

"Come with me. I will train you."

"Huh? I-I can't do that! I promised to train until I'm able to fully protect the Princess." Cody said, "I can't abandon my duty or promise."

"Who said you're leaving here? I will train you here in the castle."

"E-Ehhhhhhh?!" Cody gawked. "Wait… you're staying here to train me?!"

"But of course. Your friends can handle themselves. I see no need to supervise them… to an extent."

Cody smiled as he bowed his head, "I am in your hands, Master Merlin." He said, agreeing into his offer.

"Good. For now, rest. We will start your magic training tomorrow. And it's won't be as strenuous as your last teacher was." Merlin said with a small smile.

"Yes sir!"


Fen: And boom goes the dynamite! Another chapter down!

Striberx: Yup! And I bet many people (especially those who will bitch about this later) are wondering of the idea and such?

Fen: Please explain…

Striberx: Well, sadly while I can't remember where I found the artist who made it, I saw this old photo of a Kamen Rider Wizard fanart, but had the said T-Rex skull on it. I figured since we're doing this, it would be an interesting idea to bring it up since as far as I know, the original creator stopped continuing it. Once I do find the one who made it, we'll appropriately give them a shout out since they do deserve it.

Fen: Right. The world isn't that big to find them… -_- we'll find them sooner or later… probably never…

Striberx: Right, but yes. Kamen Rider Kyoryu. He does have other dinosaur forms plus a few others we have yet to reveal. Though his type is somewhat similar to Beast in a sense, as in it must keep feasting on magic to continue. But instead of just mana, it'll eat anything magical. And for while as long as he continues to use that form and remain in it, the more control the Kyoryu Phantom will have over him until they are in full control. So think Beast with OOO PuToTyra and Build Black Hazard.

Fen: He's gonna have a lot of problems in the future…

Striberx: But for now! He trains. :3

Fen: Well that's it from us for now! Next up is the Laguna Island Arc!

Striberx: Personally for me? Sides some Gray character development and the introduction to Lyon? I find it as a throw away arc. :P

Fen: Oh c'mon, we can come up with a couple of creative liberties for Kuro. Besides, there needs to be a gap before the Phantom Lord Arc anyway.

Striberx: Oh I know. This is something we can't really skip. It's just a personal opinion is all.

Fen: Right. Well anyways, see ya next chapter!
