Kamen Rider Wizard: Sky of Infinity

Spell 12: A Crime on the Soccer Field

"Hey TK, I hope I don't troubling you by coming to your home." Tai said. "Is there anyone else with you?"

This made TK to blinks. Patamon appears as he fly onto TK's head and his eyes surprised to see Tai. "You! What are you doing here!?" he asked.

"Wait, Patamon! I'm the one that called Tai here." TK said before looking at Tai. "Well, others aren't around and my mom is currently out on a business trip." He said.

"I see…" Tai muttered before asking TK, "Can I come in then?"

"Yes you can. Make yourself at home." TK said.

Tai soon walk into the house after TK closed the door.

"So I supposed that you're finished with whatever business you were looking into?" TK asks the former Chosen of Courage.

"Yeah…" Tai looking back at TK. "But I want to know why you're thinking that I am going replace you?" He questioned.

TK takes out his Crest of Hope and it doesn't have any colors anymore. "This is why." He said.

"I still don't think that I am replacing you." Tai said. "I haven't been in this world for a long time."

"What do you mean? You were gone for two weeks." TK pointed. Tai shakes his head.

"I didn't, I have been gone for two years." He said as this made TK and Patamon looks surprised at their former leader.

It looks like Tai have a long explanation to do.

"Well then…where should I start…?" Tai said as he began explaining his circumstances to the Chosen of Hope.


(Play Hirari)

(Instrumental)

Tai look up as his face before it was covered by his helmet as Kamen Rider Wizard with Wizardragon behind him roaring into the sky.

Kizutsuita hane ga

Tai was sitting alone in the rain before noticing the rain stop as he felt a claw on his shoulder and saw Agumon watching over him before vanished again. Then a scene of Tai transforming into Wizard Flame Style.

Kiseki o yobiokoshite

Then we see a scene of Tai hanging out with his friends in the Strike Witches base as the wind blew through their forms.

Futatabimau yo

The camera soon shows Tai falling into the Digital world. But Wizardragon flying after him as Tai caught the Phantom's horn as they flying into the sky.

Yume no kaze ninori

Gentaro Kisaragi as he walks through the road from his school and the scene changes when he transforms into Kamen Rider Fourze and posed.

Kiramekunijiwo koete

A child Tai and a child Gentaro were playing in the playground before the scene change to both Wizard and Fourze stood side by side as the silhouettes of rouge Digimons appear around them before they come after them.

Tabi no Tsudzuki eSora o miagete saa!

Observing the battles from the shadow were armor like knights as they lead by a black knight with blue cape and white knight with a sword and cannon.

Michi naru sono tobira hirake! Mirai e IN THE SKY

Sitting on top of roof of building is a black armor dragon warrior as he stares down at the city below him with his yellow eyes.

Kanjita mama ni

Tai journey alone through the Digital world but not before a shadow appear in the sky as an old enemy returns for revenge and army of Neuroi Digimons appear.

Shinjita! IT'S MY SOUL

TK and his partner Patamon as both of them look confuse about something before a shadow engulf them as angel with golden wings emerged on the battlefield.

Dokomademo yuku yo

Wizard and Fourze charged forward against an unknown enemy whose identity isn't revealed before the still images of their other forms fighting against other enemies. They weren't fighting alone against the enemy's army as new allies joining the battle.

Michibike! IN THE SKY

Tai and Koyomi saw each other, but when they trying to touch each other, Koyomi disappear into a bright light. This causes Tai to ignite in flame before become Wizard All Dragon Style as he destroyed the Neuroi from the sky.

Minna o tsurete

Tai is watching Primary Village as he clenched onto his Digivice and thinking about his memories with Agumon. It wasn't until he saw Gentaro and others next to him as Gentaro giving him a hand to get him up from ground.

Shinjita! IT'S MY SOUL

Wizard and Fourze charge head on and hits the enemy with Rider kicks straight into the chest as everything turns white.

Hirari maiagare

The scene finished with Tai, Gentaro, the Strike Witches, and their allies in a photo shoot of themselves together.


"As you can see I have been away from this world and the Digital world for almost over two years in another world." Tai started.

"How would I believe that? Are you trying to bullshitting me!?" TK asked in a somewhat furious tone as if he's being played by Tai.

Tai sighed. "Look, have you two noticed anything different about me beside my power?" he asked.

TK and Patamon take a look at Tai careful before their eyes wide immediately. This isn't the old leader they used to look. "No way…" They uttered in shock.

"Well?"

"You got taller and have a stronger muscle…" TK said. Tai nodded.

"That is what I called growing up." Tai answered.

"But Tai, why did you left in the first place?" Patamon asked. TK want to know that as well.

Tai glanced at them. "I did what everyone does, I moved on with my life. Why is that so hard to grasp? You and everyone have moved on life with your own goals and forgot about me like I don't even exist. I couldn't handle it anymore… after Agumon never reformed back in the Primary Village." Tai said sternly.

It looks like for a moment he was about to break down and cry however he composed himself. "That is why I left in the first place… because the Digital world holds too many memories of time I shared with Agumon, it is unbearable to be there without him and no one else needs me anymore so I left and try to find a direction for myself." He said.

TK suddenly felt his resentment against Tai left him immediately. He can't help feeling sorry for him. He knows what is like to losing a partner when Patamon given his life as Angemon to defeated Devimon.

"However, before I left home, I got transported to another world by magic along with many people as we saw eclipse in the sky. Everyone feel great pain before their bodies burst like glass as creatures coming out of them as I was next person to felt it. But I didn't give into the creature within me and somehow survived after the Eclipse is over. Unfortunately, one of those creatures stays behind and tries to finish me off before I was saved by my master- White Wizard. He told me those creatures are known as Phantom, creatures of despair existed in ancient time and were brought back by a psycho madman. I also learned that I gain magic after being thrown into despair by not giving up my hope to live and given the responsibility as Kamen Rider Wizard." Tai continued.

"Hope to live…" TK muttered.

"Like I tell you my Hope has a different means from your Crest of Hope. I find mine when I fall into despair and gain the power to use magic. However, my case of using magic is quite different from the world I landed in." Tai said.

"What do you mean?" Patamon asked.

"The world I landed… girls is capable of using magic than guy." Tai answered. This made them sweatdropped immediately.

"Girls can do magic more than guys…?" Patamon asked.

"You got to be joking…" TK said. Tai shook his head.

"No, I am not joking, TK. Where I land, it was around the time of the World War II except it didn't happen." Tai said as this made TK's eyes wide in shock.

"As you can see they didn't have World War II, humanity is in struggle with creatures from the space known as Neuroi. They nearly take part of the world. But the only thing could work against them are sends girls with magic ability to face them." Tai answered.

This made their eyes blink at their former leader.

"Also the countries go by different name such as Japan goes by Fuso Empire." The former leader of Digidestined said. "Now where was I…? I wasn't alone on my strange adventure as the White Wizard entrust me looking for Koyomi, a girl who lost her memory and able to see Phantoms for whom they truly are. We travel together across the strange land while tracking down Phantoms and understanding each other as we got close for past two years."

"Is she your girlfriend…?" TK asked.

Tai stares at him. "We aren't like that. But Koyomi is actually more to me like my assistant and a daughter to me." He answered and TK just keep quiet as he seems to accept Tai's answer.

"We continued hunting for Phantoms in different corner in Fuso Empire. It wasn't until I meeting an witch who hired me to check if there is any Witch in her division and try to sign me up to fight against the Neuroi. I didn't accept it at first, but a friend of mine want to go with her because she has a connection with her father and we ends up in going on a lot of adventures same as making friends with them. There are also hard Phantoms that I even have problems such like Medusa and Phoenix. It wasn't until we have to deal with a military official who kept a fragment of Neuroi for his machine which goes into berserker and we ends up have to destroy a Neuroi nest that holding Gallia which is France there." Tai continued.

This made TK and Patamon looks surprised.

Tai soon take out something from pocket which is a photo. "And this is me with the girls." He said, handing to them.

TK and Patamon look at the picture as they blushed immediately.

"Why are some of them not wearing any p-pants…?" TK asked before returning the picture back to him.

The former chosen place the picture away. "As you can see they have to wear Strikers or advanced broom sticks and clothes get in their way… so the girls of that world are used to be pantless. I got used to it while traveling to different Divisions to meet different girls." Tai finished with a tiring breath.

This left the two in surprised at the adventure that their former leader been through.

"Now tell me, TK." Tai said. "What exactly is happened? I can see you seemed troubled by something?" he asked.

"Like you have any right to know what is wrong with me!" TK exclaimed with angry as this made Tai looks shock. This made TK stop and looking down with a sad expression.

"I notice you were glance at your brother… did something happened to you?" Tai asked.

TK didn't say anything before Patamon sighed and looks at Tai.

"TK is sad because Kari is going out with Davis." Patamon explains. "But most of all… TK realized that he lost his chance after he learned his feeling for her late." He said.

Tai looks at Patamon with surprised then the blonde hair Digidestined. "I see…" he said. He soon approaches TK and sat beside him on the couch.

"Are you going to disapprove my feeling?" TK asked depressed.

Normally, Tai would disapproval of anyone going out with his sister. But he can't ignored the depress look on his former teammate. "No, I won't." Tai said. "But I want to know something, TK. How did you realize your feels for Kari?" he asked carefully.

TK is quiet for a moment before he spoke up. "When Kari is lost in the Dark Ocean, I felt extreme worried about her not making back… it wasn't until I learn she pick Davis, I felt my heart complete as I realized my feelings too late." He said.

Tai can't help wide his eyes. He remembered that day as well. He was extreme worried about Kari as well and… he got angry at TK for not keeping an eye on his sister. "Looking back, you weren't the only one worried about her." Wizardragon said.

"I try to see to Nii-san… but he's too busy with his concert and dating Sora. Kaa-san is too busy with work to care about me... I didn't know what to do especially my Crest isn't glowing for me anymore." TK continued with tears.

"I am sorry… TK, I didn't know." Tai said. But he finds another reason to be angry at Yamato for neglecting his little brother.

TK didn't say anything as his expression still remains the same. "Why would you care?" he asked. "After all, Davis was your protégé." He said.

"You're right… but the truth is that I trust you the most with her safety than Davis." Tai said softly. This causes TK to look surprised at him immediately.

"D-Do you really mean it?" the blonde Chosen asked, nervous. Tai nodded.

"The reason why I am going hard on you in the past… because I always have high expectation of you to ensure that she is safe... and your dedication to care for her as a friend is admirable to me even if you didn't get a chance to be with her, I would be glad with your own decision that you chose for yourself." Tai replied with a smile.

Tai's words touched TK deeply before looking down. "T-Thank you… and I want to let you know how I'm so sorry that I let you down as a friend and teammate." He said with guilt.

"I know, even though I can't see myself as a leader anymore…we're still be friends TK. Whatever happened in the past, it best that we live in the present to face future." Tai said.

TK and Patamon nodded. "You know, back then when we're facing NeoDevimon, you look really cool back then." TK said as he flustered.

"R-Really? I don't think I realize that myself." Tai rubbed his head as he laughs at the memory.

"What are you going to do now?" TK asked. "I know Azulongmon pulled back to this world again."

"It turns out that coming here have some value especially finding a connection between Neuroi and Digital world." Tai said with serious tone.

This got TK and Patamon's attention immediately as Tai starts explaining what he learns from a local elder about the events going on and the disappearance of Leomon and Ogremon.

"You saying that Daemon is try to break out of the Dark Ocean even after being sealed away?" TK asked.

Tai nodded. "It makes sense since he might able to gain control of Dark Ocean. But I don't know how long we will have before he reappeared in the Digital world…" he said.

"Maybe we can help you defeated Daemon…" Patamon said with determination.

This made Tai blink. "Wait, what? But didn't you guys remembered what Daemon trashed you and others in the past?" he asked shock.

"It's true that he did. But I was hoping to get Nii-san's attention at what Patamon can do now even without a Crest of Hope." TK said.

"Huh?" Tai looks confused before Patamon nodded to TK.

TK approached to Tai and whisper something into his ear as this made Tai's eyes wide in surprised.

"How is that even possible?" Tai asked.

"It true… when I thought that I lost my Crest power, Patamon become my Hope instead." TK said.

"I see…" Tai said before looking at the time. "It looks it getting late. I should get going now…"

"Where exactly are you staying?" TK asked, can't help feeling curious. He knows Tai can't stay at his old home anymore.

"I have no idea since I have been staying at a local village in the Digital world." Tai answered.

"Maybe you can stay here." TK suggested as this got Tai's attention.

"Are you sure?" Tai asked.

TK and Patamon nodded. "You can have the Guest Room here if that is okay with you, Tai?" TK asked.

Tai stares at the two before he nodded.

"Alright. I'll take your offer." He said.


(Next morning)

Tai got up from the Guest Room bed and stretch his arms as he noticing TK and Patamon are still asleep right now. This made Tai smile before going to the kitchen and starting making breakfasts now.

It wasn't long until TK and Patamon came to the kitchen.

"Morning Tai…" TK said.

"Morning you two." Tai greeted. "I made breakfasts for just three of us."

"Thank you…"

The three soon eat breakfast together before Tai looks at TK. "Hey TK, there is something I want to ask you. Do you think that you can keep tab on the Digidestineds for me?" he asked.

"Sure." TK said, eating his breakfast. "By the way, how did you prevent Izzy from tracking you?"

Tai soon take out his cellphone before pressing some numbers. "If you wonder why Izzy couldn't trace my phone, because I modified my phone with magic to prevent it be traceable." He explains. "If you like, I can give you my new number to contact me."

TK thought for a moment and nodded. "Thanks, Tai. I better hurry since I will be late for school." He said before getting his backpack. "You're always welcome here, Tai." he added.

Tai smiled as they exchanged numbers before TK and Patamon left through the front door as they were on their way to school.

The former Chosen decides to sit on the couch and reach for the remote as he turns on the television. He is a bit curious about anything else changed in this world. It wasn't until he watches something on the news that made his eyes wide.

"This just in, a local soccer team has been attacked for the second time this week during a showoff matches between two soccer teams. The information we received is still sketchy and the team's coach refused to give any comment regarding this incident…according to our latest information, a similar attack has been reported against another soccer team at a neighboring district east of Tokyo during their own showoff." The local newscaster reported before showing footage on a pair of students being carried on stretcher and Tai saw a familiar figure along with a familiar soccer team he used to lead watching them being carried.

Kazuya Narukami.

"Kazuya…" he uttered in surprised.

After all this time, Tai still remembered every members of the soccer team he helped coach and train especially Kazuya.

Kazuya…

Tai never realized during his depression, he cuts off from everyone even the soccer team and ignored everyone else. He never thought to see Kazuya once again after many years. Tai remembered that Kazuya have less confident in himself but Tai can see great love for soccer in him.

Now with the news of other soccer team were attacked while playing against the team he helped coach in the past shook him. He refuses to believe they were attack another rival team just to win until he sees the proof…it seems this attack has going on for quite some time.

"But how do you think Kazuya will react seeing you again? You did abandon him and everyone else…when you decide to disappear from this World." Wizardragon said.

His Phantom brought up a point. They might view him as someone who has abandoned them in their time of need, but Tai refused to see this dishonorable act on the sport that he loved when he was a small boy.

"Even if they don't trust me, I want to know the truth." Tai said with determination as he tightly clenched his fist.

It looks like the ex-coach assistant is going to make return on the field again. This time he will get to bottom of this case…one way or another.


TK walks calm into the classroom and seeing his fellow Digidestineds were talking with each other.

"I can't get that stinking smell off my shirt…" Davis complained. "Stupid Tai, who the heck he think he is?"

"My whole family was freaked out and disgusted by the smell." Yolie said.

This made TK mentally laughed at Davis's misfortunate caused by Tai's magic as it pretty funny. It's pretty amusing.

"Hey TK, are you alright?" Ken asked.

"I'm fine…" TK said before noticing Kari stares out of the window than pay any attention to the bicker. "What is up with Kari?" he asked.

"I don't know… it seem she is bothered by Tai's stunt the last time we saw him." Ken said.

It would make sense no one noticed how Tai feel… TK thought to himself. Even if Tai can't forgive others, TK determined to earn back the trust of his old friends.


Tai is riding on his Machine Winger to the place where the mess occurred. There were police officers with yellow tape on the field to prevent anyone from disturbing the crime scene. But it turns out that he wasn't the only one who seem to looking into the mess as he seen someone talking to the local police officer.

"You again? I thought I made it clear that you can't enter this crime scene and interrupting police investigation Mutou…" The cop said to the young man.

"I'm just doing what my client has hired me to do you know." The young man known as Mutou answered. The young man wears a black vest covering his white shirt, a red tie, and black fedora with the brand 'Windsir' on it. He had yellow bangs and the back of his hair was black outlined in a magenta layer.

"A private detective…" Tai muttered before he takes out two of his Familiar Rings and swept them over his Driver.

"KRAKEN, PLEASE!"

"UNICORN, PLEASE!"

With the two trays appeared as they soon assembled as Tai placed each Ring in the two making his PlaMonsters alive as Kraken and Unicorn. The two looks around their surrounds to notice they aren't in the base anymore especially noticing Garuda is missing.

"Garuda is left behind in our world when I got dragged back here." Tai explains to the two.

The PlaMonsters made some noises as Tai nodded. "We will find our way back, I promise you." He said.

"But I need your help with looking for anything suspicious around this field. Don't let anyone caught you two."

Kraken and Unicorn nodded before they went separated ways from him. Tai turns around to see Mutou and the police went to talk somewhere in private.

The Magician Rider soon follows them from behind carefully to listen to what they were discussing.

"So do you think someone try to assault the rival team because this is related to the Odaiba High School team's losing streak?" Mutou's voice asked.

The police nodded. "Yes, it would make sense Mutou. It's too bad that their Assistant-Coach isn't here anymore since he is the only guy that can resolve any dispute better than anyone else." The police said.

"What happened to him?" The Tri-color teen asked.

"No one knows why…he suddenly resigned and disappeared two weeks ago…and the team been on a losing streak since then." The police said.

Tai have a downcast look hearing how his soccer team facing a consecutive defeat since his disappearance but he buried it deep in his heart as he got up and left before they could even notice them. After what he heard from those two men, Tai is more determined to find out what happened to Kazuya and others that they desperately committed this foul play.

Suddenly Kraken appears to his side immediately as the yellow PlaMonster making some noises and Tai have a serious look on his face.

"A monster is attacking someone? Lead the way then Kraken!" Tai said as he follows his PlaMonster from behind.

Unaware to Tai, the tri-colored teen spotted him and his PlaMonster.

"That is something you don't see every day…" He comments.


(Back in Witches' world)

Things been quite quiet in the Strike Witches' base since Tai been sent back to his old world after few days went passing. There were no Phantom harassing them though they were still called out to fight against the Neuroi.

The girls can't help feeling worry about the safety of their male magic user companion despite some of them were more worry about his well-being since he always been helping them out.

Koyomi puts down her magic orb after failed to see any sight of Tai's whereabouts. She have slight grudge against the so-called Sovereign for taking Tai against his own free will.

She then saw Sanya and Eila came to Tai's room as they visit her. They seem to be having some trouble looks on their faces.

"Do you girls need something?" Koyomi asked.

"Koyomi, do you have any luck seeing Tai with your crystal ball?" Sanya asked with a worried expression.

Koyomi shakes her head. "I am sorry." She said.

"Who knows what trouble that idiot magic user got himself involved…?" Eila asked. She can't help feeling uncomfortable about not having that idiot who teasing her as it make her missing his jokes.

Suddenly they saw a small magic circle in front of them as they saw Garuda and White Garuda emerging from the portal. Garuda soon lands on Koyomi's shoulder while White Garuda lands on the table with an envelope.

"Garu-chan, where have you been?" Koyomi asked.

"Wait, isn't the white one belong to that other guy?" Eila asked.

The White Garuda chirped before showing the letter to Koyomi who takes the letter and she opened it.

"This…" Koyomi said, looking at the letter.

"What does it say?" Sanya asked.

"If you want to rescue Tai, come… to the Hanger." Koyomi answered.

"Do you think he would help?" Sanya asked.

"There is no doubt he aware of Tai's disappearance… I am going to see him." Koyomi said, getting up from her chair.

"Wait, let us come too." Sanya said.

Koyomi looks at the two before she nodded.


A young man in soccer outfit seems to be running away from a humanoid lion with wings as everyone else also begins running away screaming and shouting help.

"G-Get away from me you monster! Get away!" A young man in soccer outfit exclaimed as he running from the monster.

"Too bad…curse your own luck that you have saw me, and you know what I'll do with the witness? I'll tear them limb…from limb." The lion creature growled as he slowly marches towards his victim.

The creature punches the young man's back to cause him to tumble to the ground and groan in pain.

Tai saw the creature about to finish him off; he kicked the creature back from the young man.

The lion creature regain his focus to see who attacked him, "Who did that…" he saw Tai. "I-Impossible…" he uttered in disbelief.

Tai saw the young man in soccer outfit got up and starts running for his life.

"I don't know who are you… but I dislike foul play." Tai said, getting his Driver On Ring.

"DRIVER ON, PLEASE!"

"Henshin!" Tai said before getting out his Flame Ring.

"FLAME, PLEASE!"

Soon a red magic circle appears to Tai and he ran through before transforming into Wizard. This causes the lion beast to gawk.

"A-A-A new Kamen Rider!?" The lion beast gawked.

"Saa… Showtime daa!" Wizard shouts as he immediately charged at the lion-like abomination and started to attack him. He soon punches the creature in the chest to make him stagger before sending him back with a kick.

But the lion creature got up as he disappears into a blur and slashes Wizard's chest armor with his claws as sparks flying off from his armor.

Wizard rolls on the ground in pain but it stops. The Rider saw the lion creature trying to stomp on him and quickly got out of the way as he brings his hand to his Connect Ring.

"CONNECT, PLEASE!"

Wizard got out his WizarSwordGun to protect himself from the claw of the creature before slashing him back.

"Who would thought another Dopant and a new Rider appeared." A familiar voice said as this causes Wizard to turns as the tri-color hair young detective appeared.

"Get back, this monster is dangerous." Wizard said.

"Y-You are that detective!" The Dopant said.

"Don't worry…we got this." The tri-color detective said before taking out a red belt buckle with two slots which resemble W-shape.

"A…belt?" Wizard muttered as he is overwhelmed with surprise seeing a similar device like his own Wizardriver appeared.

The young man then hooked up the red buckle to his waist as silver belt form around his waist. He then takes out a black USB flashdrive with the 'J' symbol on it.

"JOKER!"

"Ryou, get ready…" The tri color teen said.


(Unknown location)

A messy white hair teen is drawing on the board with a marker before noticing a similar Driver on his waist.

"It looks like Yugi has found the enemy." Ryou said before getting a green USB flashdrive with the 'C' symbol on it.

"CYCLONE!"

"Henshin!"


"Henshin!"

A few seconds later the green USB Drive appeared and Yugi quickly pressed it in along with black USB Driver and pushed the slots aside.

"CYCLONE-JOKER!"

Soon particle surrounded Yugi as he transform into an armor warrior appeared. He has a white line down the middle, on the left side his armor was black with purple highlights and the right was the same except the armor was green and the highlight was a light green. On his helmet, he had a W shaped antennae and red glowing compound eyes.

"A-A dual colored Kamen Rider…" Wizard utter in surprised.

"I am Kamen Rider Double," Double said before looks at the Dopant. "Now…count up your sins!" the Rider said in somewhat different voices spoke together.

Double charges at the Dopant before punching the Dopant back several times to force him back.

"Dragon, is it just me or there are two presence in that Rider?" Wizard asked to his Inner Phantom.

"I feel the same. But how is it possible?" Wizardragon pondered.

Then the Dopant growl soon summoned features to hit Double and Wizard at the same time. But Wizard got out his Defend Ring.

"Defend, Please!"

Suddenly Wizard conjured a flaming barrier to protecting him and Double from the incoming explosives features.

"Interesting power…"The right side of Double said. "Yugi, it looks like we need to switch Memory."

"Yeah, we should show him our abilities." Double said before switching the Joker Memory with a gray Memory.

"METAL!"

Double then insert the Metal Memory into the Driver slot.

"CYCLONE-METAL!"

Suddenly the left side of Double turns black to gray with the hilt of a staff. Double took it out and it extended to an actual staff. The Dopant charged with his claws, but Double blocks the attack with the staff. Double then kicked him in the knee and hit him with the Metal Shaft.

The Dopant is about to attack again, but Wizard jumps ahead and attack him with his sword to flung the Dopant further. "Damn you Riders especially you" Dopant said to Wizard.

Before the Dopant about to attack they noticed someone familiar is coming down the street as he unleashed a large swarms of feathers in a wide range of area which caught the Riders by surprise.

Both Wizard and Double were hit by the feathers as the Dopant took the opportunity to getaway by flying into the air, out of the Riders reach.

"Hey wait! Damnit…" Double exclaimed as the watch the Dopant escaped.

"Don't worry, Yugi, we'll get him next time. I suggest that we should focus our attention to our new friend here." The Right side of Double said.

Double then turns his attention to Wizard who stares back at him.

"Uh…something wrong?" Wizard asks.

The left side of Double could only sighed, "This…would take a while." He said.

Wizard take off his Flame Ring as his transformation is undo and revert back to his civilian form. Double did the same thing with his Memories to revert back to his original form.

"My name is Yugi Mutou. I am private detective." Yugi introduced himself.

"Tai, I am Kamen Rider Wizard." Tai said.

Yugi blink. "Wizard…?"

"What was that monster just now? You call him a Dopant or something," Tai said.

"You mean you don't know about Dopant?" Yugi asked.

Tai shake his head.

"I see… then we can talk over at the agency and have you to explain about your power." Yugi said.

"Alright…" Tai answered.


Tai follows Yugi on his bike to the agency…but he can't shake the fact that the agency's location is...questionable. How questionable you want to know? The agency office is somehow ridiculously stood next to an All-Girls School Academy.

"Why is your agency stand next to an all-girl's academy?" Tai asks.

"It's a long story…" Yugi said.

They soon got off their motorcycles as they went into the agency. Tai looks around the place carefully before Yugi sat down on his chair and with Tai followed suit.

"So… What exactly is a Dopant?" Tai asked.

Yugi sighed. "Well to start things off, there are these powerful devices called Gaia Memories which may look like regular USB flash drives but they have a rib cage like spine. Anyway each one contains the knowledge and power of a certain aspect of Earth." Yugi explained.

"I see…" Tai noted.

"Once plugged into a human, they become superhuman called a Dopant. Unfortunately, the Gaia Memories are too powerful to be controlled alone so the user will eventually succumb to the Gaia Memory's power."

"How did you use the Gaia Memories?" Tai asked. "Does it somehow relate to your belt?"

Yugi nodded. "Our Gaia Memories are different from the raw version of the common Gaia Memories and the DoubleDriver is the only way to fight back against the Dopants." A white hair teen explained as he comes to join them.

"This is my friend and partner Ryou Bakura, the other half of Double." Yugi said.

Ryou observing Tai. "Gem and magic theme Rider… Interesting design," he said.

"My name is Taichi." Tai said.

"You know Negi will be excited if he meets him." Ryou said with a smirk to Yugi.

"I won't hear the last of it if it's happen." Yugi said.

"Who is Negi?" Tai asked confused.

"He is our Mentor's son." Yugi said. "He is an English teacher in the academy."

"How old is he?" Tai asked.

"He is ten years old." Ryou said.

This made Tai blinks. "A-Are you serious…? A ten year old boy is a freaking English teacher!?" he exclaimed.

"Taichi, have you even come across any magic user before coming here?" Ryou asked.

"Umm… I don't think so. Because I know having magic is quite rare." Tai said.

The two detectives look at each other before looking back at Tai.

"There is something you need to know. You aren't the only one who can use magic." Yugi said.

This made Tai blinks. "D-Did you say there are other Magic users in this world?" he asked, can't help jaw dropped. This even made his Inner Phantom pause immediately. "Why haven't I heard of them?" he questioned.

"They're quite hidden from human society since it their principle. The reason we know about them because our mentor is one and his son inherited his talent. I am surprised that they haven't caught you yet since you break a rule of using magic in public." Yugi said.

"What will happen if I get caught?" Tai asked.

"You will get turned into an ermine if you get caught by the staffs of Mahora Academy since some of them are powerful magic users." Ryou said.

This made Tai sweatdropped. "Okay…" he said.

"So what are you doing with a Dopant anyway?" Yugi asked.

"I… I heard that something happened about what happened to the soccer teams. I want to know what is going on." Tai explains.

"That is the same thing our client wants to know…" Yugi said.

Suddenly burst through the door is a young man with short black hair as Tai's eyes wide. "Detective, there is another attac-!" he uttered before making him and Tai stares at each other.

"It can't be…S-Sempai?!" Kazuya mutter in shock.

"Kazuya…" Tai said. "It's been a long time…" he said.

Yugi looks at Kazuya's reaction then at Tai who seem a bit shock. "So you're the former assistant coach." He finally deduced it.


"Tai…why? What happened to you? Since you left the team two weeks ago, all of us wanted to know why! Why did you leave the team!?" Kazuya demands.

"I have my reason, Kazuya." Tai said. "I'm not here to discuss about the past. I'm only here to investigate about the attack on your soccer team." He demanded.

"Why the hell do you to care!? You deserted us after many years and we suffered humiliation and defeat every time we stepped onto that field! And it's all because of your fault!" Kazuya argued. This causes Tai to have increased angry.

"Like you know what the hell I been through, Kazuya!" Tai shout. "I lost my best friend, my equal as partner and left grieving for him more than anyone else. Then I got throw into a hellhole! WHO DO YOU THINK SUFFERED THE MOST!?" He yelled.

This causes Kazuya to flinch before Tai looks at Yugi and Ryou. "Look after him… I am going for a walk. Need to cool down my head." Tai said before heading out the door.

"Ryou, look after our client." Yugi said as he follows Tai outside.


Tai soon take a walk as he sat down on the grass and looking out at the pond. He take pebble and throws it across the lake as he watched it bounce five times.

"Is there something you need, Yugi-san?" he asked, knowing Yugi is watching him from behind.

Yugi sat down next to Tai as he got out a pebble and throws across the lake. "I can't help noticing you were quite rough on Kazuya… but I guessed that it related you become a Rider." Yugi said.

Tai glances at Yugi. "My story might be…weirder than yours." He said.

"Try me… After all, we're fellow Riders. We deal with the supernatural." Yugi answered.

"Tell me do you ever hear about Digimons?" Tai asked.

"I heard them from the news especially children who are partnered with them." Yugi said.

"I was one of them," Tai explains before giving a general summary about being Digidestined then how he ends up in another world due to Phantom and fighting Neuroi with the girls.

"So you gain power as a Kamen Rider after overcoming despair… that is something I can't believe it myself." Yugi commented.

"I bet you find the story so far-fetch…" Tai remarked.

"I believe you." Yugi answered. This made Tai looks surprise.

"How?"

"You might be from this world, but Ryo and I aren't." Yugi said. Tai's eyes wide in surprised before a mini purple mechanic magician on Yugi's shoulder.

"He is telling the truth, young one." The mechanic magician said.

"Who is this?" Tai asked.

"The world we came from… it a world where everything is settle with cards, this is once my partner Dark Magician before become a living Gaia Memory." Yugi said before he explains how Duel Monsters were originally from Egypt and how a certain billionaire made it popular worldwide.

Who would think there is a world obsessed with trading cards…? Tai thought.

"Be glad we aren't from that world." Wizardragon remarked.

Tai stares at Dark Magician. "It's nice to meet you, Dark Magician." He greeted.

"Same here. I can sense potential in you as you will become a great Mage, young Wizard." Dark Magician said.

"But how did you and Ryo end up here?" Tai asked.

"It bit similar to your story but we were given a choice by someone and we meet our mentor Nagi Springfield who taught us how to fight." Yugi said.

"You must be lucky… my Mentor never show me his face," Tai said.

"Maybe in the future, your questions might be answered." Yugi said.

Tai pondered on Yugi's word. "I see… So what does Kamen Rider means to you?" Tai asked.

"Kamen Riders are symbol of hope for people against injustice and protectors of those who couldn't stand up for themselves." Yugi explain. "The title been passed though in the past who fought even there are those who fight till the bitter end."

This made Tai looks surprised at Yugi. He can't help wondering if he ever deserved the title of Kamen Rider like those who did in the past.

"In the past, you and Kazuya seem to be close." Yugi continued.

"Yeah… he is a bit shy at first, but he possess quite talents as a soccer player." Tai said.

Tai glances at Yugi. "You mention that the Dopant could be people using corrupted Gaia Memory, right?" he asked. Yugi nodded.

"You think it possible one of your old soccer team? That is what I figure after what Kazuya told us about the problem his team facing." Yugi explains.

Tai think back to his encounter with the Dopant and how he reacts to him.

"That is more reason I want to settle this. It's my fault that this happened" Tai said, clenched his fist.

Yugi looks at the serious on Tai's face. Even though he wants to go back to the other world, he can tell Tai cared about his old soccer teammates. "Don't take blame on yourself, Taichi. You didn't know it will happen." He said.

"I see… You're right." Tai said.

"Do you think of talking with Kazuya again? I know you might be on your way after this, but you should talk with him once more." Yugi suggested.

"I will think about it…" Tai answered. "But who becomes the Dopant…? That is what I am worried about."


"Umm… Ryo-san, do you think that I went a bit too far?" Kazuya asked, nervous.

"You did yell at your Sempai without knowing what is bothering him." Ryo pointed out. "Especially the death of his friend… it might cause an impact on him."

This made Kazuya quiet. "Even if that is the problem, I can't forgive Sempai… for leaving my life." He said before getting up from his seat.

"Where are you going?" Ryo asked.

"I have a date… I will contact you if I see the Dopant." Kazuya said before leaving through the front door.

It wasn't long until Tai and Yugi returns to the office to see Ryo alone.

"Where is Kazuya?" Tai asked.

"He mentions that he has a date…" Ryo said.

"I see…" Yugi said before looking at Ryo. "Ryo, it time we have another look up on the Dopant."

Ryo nodded and closed his eyes before going into a trance.

In front of him was the Gaia Library in which there millions of books in several bookcase just waiting to be read.

Tai blinks as he looks at Yugi. "What is he doing?" he asked.

"It's his ability to access the database that is ever recorded by the world. We called the Gaia Library." Yugi answered before looking back at Ryo who is ready to research.

"First Keyword: Soccer." The word 'Soccer' appears in front of Ryo in green text before fading away. Most bookcases disappeared but there was enough left to last a whole month if not more. "Second keyword: Losing Streak." With that word, Bookshelves disappeared only leaving a one but was still filled with books.

"Yugi, there is still quite a lot of books left." Yugi then thought back to the encounter of the Griffon Dopant, hopping for any clues.

"Ryo, here are the last keywords: try grudge, angst, or hate."

With that phrase there were only three books left for Ryo.

"Yugi, I only got three books left." Ryo said.

"Only three suspects…" Tai said. Yugi shrugged.

"Better than nothing, at least we got ourselves some suspects. Who are they?" Yugi asked.

"Yosuke Hideo, son of Mall manager not far from here. Sai Adachi, a son of cake baker. And finally our last is Makoto Abari, a former member of soccer team who retired due to injured his arm in accident."

"They're all from the soccer team. But I don't think it would be Abari since he had an arm accident." Tai said with a serious expression.

"All that left is… Yosuke and Sai." Yugi said, grabbed his coat.

"I bet it could be either one since they saw me becoming Wizard." Tai said.

"Why don't we try to split up and confront either of them?" Yugi asked to Tai. Tai nodded.

"That could work." Tai agreed.

Yugi and Tai soon left the front door of the Agency as they gone on their bikes. Ryo is about to do some work when he is interrupted by a ten year old kid and a white ferret.


Tai park somewhere close to the bakery shop before he enters the store, he seeing Kazuya with a black hair girl with blue eyes and calm expressions were in the shop eating together. Tai decides to get a bit close without alert them his presence. The girl notice Kazuya wasn't eating his cake slice.

"Kazuya, are you alright?" The girl asked. "You hadn't touching your food…"

"Sorry about that Miziki…" Kazuya apologized. "A lot had been on my mind… but I can't let this continued even if they accused us of foul plays against other soccer teams." He said.

"True, I am getting a little worry if you getting attacked." Miziki said.

"But I can't just leave them… Miziki," Kazuya said.

"You missed your Sempai even though you claimed to hate him for leaving the team." Miziki said, looking at her tea. "You still have that picture of you and him doing crazy pose."

This made Tai blinks. Kazuya still have the old photo of them together.

Kazuya looks quiet. "After all, he is our team's hope…" he said as this made Tai's eyes wide in surprised.

"He doesn't deserve to be our team's so call hope after he ditched us, Kazuya." A familiar said belongs to a brown hair teen with aggressive black eyes as he looking at Kazuya and Miziki.

"Adachi, what are you saying?" Kazuya asked.

"Most of all… you're just like him, it make me sick, Kazuya." Sai said before getting out a brown Gaia Memory with 'G' on it.

"GRIFFON!"

Sai then injected into his forearm and transformed into the humanoid lion with wing known as Griffon Dopant. This scared almost everyone out of the store as they were running for their life.

"Sai… you're the Dopant attack others?" Kazuya asked with disbelief.

"I didn't want you to find out… but I know you're the one to get that pesky detective." Griffon Dopant said before grabbing both Miziki and Kazuya by their necks as he choking them.

Suddenly the Griffon Dopant got hurt by silver bullets aiming for his arms and letting them go ease before they saw Tai with his WizarSwordGun.

"Sempai…" Kazuya said with disbelief.

"You…" Griffon Dopant gritting his teeth.

"Kazuya, get your girlfriend out of here…" Tai said.

Kazuya reluctant nodded as he takes Miziki before they made outside the store, Tai and the Griffon Dopant stares at each other.

"How dare you get involved after abandoning us, you bastard…?! Because of you, we lost everything!" Griffon bark.

"I never want to doubt anyone of you… But you gave into anger and choose to rely on foul play, Adachi." Tai said with a serious voice.

"And you think you would play a hero!?" Griffon Dopant said as he charging at him.

Tai blocks his claws with his sword before run through the door as the Dopant followed. The Griffon Dopant try to attack Tai again, but Tai dodges and slashing him across the chest as sparks flying in the air.

"Sempai…" Kazuya uttered in disbelief.

Tai got out his Driver On Ring and place over his Driver.

"DRIVER ON, PLEASE!"

Tai then got out his Land Style Ring before swept over his Driver.

"Henshin…" Tai said.

"LAND, PLEASE!"

He placed his hand over the ground and a yellow magic circle appeared below him as rocks floated up. The magic circle went over Tai immediately and transformed him into his Wizard Land Style.

"Kisama, what type of Kamen Rider are you!?" Griffon Dopant growls while Kazuya and Miziki looks completely surprised at Tai who's now transformed into a Rider.

"I am Kamen Rider Wizard… Saa Showtime Daa!" Wizard said.

The Griffon Dopant try to attack Wizard, but Wizard caught the Dopant's arm to stop him from reaching for his helmet and Wizard send him to the ground.

Suddenly the Griffon Dopant regains his sense and notices Kazuya and Miziki as he fires a storm of feathers from his wings. But Wizard got out his Defend Ring ready and scanned to his Driver.

"DEFEND, PLEASE!"

A stone wall suddenly emerged and shielded the two from getting hit by feathers.

"Nice try." Wizard said.

But it looks like the Griffon Dopant hadn't giving up yet before the Dopant grabbed a car and throws at Wizard. But Wizard dodges the car by rolling to his right shoulder.

"CYCLONE-JOKER!"

Suddenly Yugi transforming into Double as he delivers a swift kick toward the Dopant's left side before following up with couple of punches.

"Sorry about my tardiness." Double said. "I take it that you find the Dopant, Wizard."

"I see you can change your armor like we can…" The Right Side of Double said.

"Unforgivable…" Griffon Dopant growl before growing a bit larger and become more beasts like than before.

The Griffon Dopant let out a loud howl to stop the Riders before grabbing Kazuya and Miziki with his claws as he take off into the air.

"You won't escape this time Sai!" Wizard shout as he then switch to his Hurricane Ring.

"HURRICANE, PLEASE!"

Wizard jumped through the green magic circle as he become Wizard Hurricane Style and went after him from the sky.

"Damn, looks like we need to catch up with them." Double said, getting out his Beetle Phone and pressing several codes.

Suddenly coming to Double's side is his bike except it have red jet like wings and the two-in-one Rider got on the bike before going after them.


Wizard still chasing after the Griffon Dopant in the air and firing at the Griffon Dopant's claws to make him released Kazuya and Miziki. But it seems his bullets aren't tough enough to damage the Griffon Dopant when he is like this.

"HEAT-TRIGGER!"

Wizard then saw Double in his red and blue form as he firing his gun at the Dopant, hurting him that he loses his grips on the two and they fall from the air.

"Hang on!" Wizard shouts before getting out his Hurricane Dragon Ring.

"HURRICANE DRAGON…!"

(Kamen Rider Wizard: Just The Beginning Ost)

He transformed into his Hurricane Dragon Style before grabbing both Kazuya and Miziki with his arms as they landed on the familiar soccer field.

"Are you two alright?" Wizard asked.

"I almost have a heart attack…" Miziki said.

"Sempai…" Kazuya said, looking at Wizard.

"Don't worry, Kazuya. You're safe now." Wizard said with assured.

Wizard then take out his Special Ring and scanned over his Driver.

"VERY NICE, SPECIAL! FABULOUS!"

Soon Drago Wings emerged from his back as Wizard take off into the air as it surprised them. He going after the Griffon Dopant before slashing him with his steel like wings.

"Hey Wizard, how about a fiery twister?" Double asked.

"Only if you can keep up with me." Wizard said.

Double nodded before replacing his Trigger Memory with his Metal Memory again.

"HEAT-METAL!"

Wizard soon starting to flying around the Griffon Dopant as a green twister is form while Double places his Heat Memory into his Metal Shaft.

"HEAT! MAXIMUM DRIVE!"

Double soon unleashed flame as Wizard absorbed them into his twister before a fiery vortex and hits the Dopant. This caused the Dopant collapsed to the street complete as Double and Wizard jumps down to the ground.

"CYCLONE-JOKER!"

"Daa Finale!" Wizard declared as he got out his Kick Strike Ring.

"VERY NICE, KICK STRIKE! FABULOUS!"

"My thought is the same!" Double said before inserted the Joker Memory into the side of his belt.

"JOKER! MAXIMUM DRIVE!"

The two Riders jump into the air before performing their respective kicks down on the Dopant to cause an explosion as Sai fall unconscious on the ground and the Griffon Memory is destroyed.

(Song end)

"Let the police do their job." Double stated as the two Riders left.


Tai looks at the old soccer field where he and his old soccer teammates used to train a lot together.

"I guess even if you're a Rider, you can't help to come here right…Sempai?" A familiar voice said as Tai turns around to see Kazuya walking toward him.

"Hey Kazuya," Tai said.

"Do you remember the dream that everyone shared with you?" Kazuya asked.

"It was reaching the international league…" Tai said.

"Of course." Kazuya said before approaching the soccer ball alone on the field.

"But I left you and forgotten that dream." Tai said. "But as a Kamen Rider now, I have my own dream now. The dream I can bring hope to others."

"So you won't play soccer again?" Kazuya asked.

"The only thing I can do now is accept the present… and keep pressing forward." Tai said. "Even if I can't be the team's hope, you guys are the ones fought hard for your dreams to make it come true." He said to Kazuya.

"I see…" Kazuya said before put his feet on the soccer ball. "Sempai, then can I asks you to fulfill one last request? Fulfill my last Hope to come true?"

Tai looks at him before having a cheeky smile on his face. "Of course." He answered.

Tai soon got on his old soccer outfit as he and Kazuya starting to play soccer on the field for several minutes. When the ball hit the air, both boys slammed their heads to the ball as they made the ball move close to the field. Kazuya went up ahead of Tai and successfully kick the ball into the goal.

"Wow, Kazuya. You're better than ever." Tai said.

Kazuya smile. "Thank you… I know it will be hard for people to trust us again, but I will reach for the international no matter how long it takes." He said. "I hope you do well on your goal, Taichi-sempai… even if our goals are different, we will still follow them."

"Maybe I will be there to see you reaching the international." Tai said.

"I hope so too." Kazuya said before leaving now. "I better get going now since Miziki might get worried about me."

Tai nodded before he felt something appears in his hand and saw a ring with the face of Double on it. "This is definitely unexpected…" he mutters.

"Hmm… it seem you and Double fight alongside, this Rider Ring is form. It can let you summoned Double as backup." Wizardragon explains.

"I see…" Tai said. He then think back to what Yugi and Ryou told him about other Magic users in this world, he is quite surprised to learning that magic is hidden in this world.

Maybe I should visit them again; I have some more questions regarding the magic of this world… Tai thought…

"Hey! Get out of the way!" A female voice shout from above.

Tai looks around and doesn't see anyone, but he can't have a dreadful feeling for some reason.

"Get out of the way!" A male voice shout.

Tai blinks before looking up in the air as his eyes wide. "You got to be kidding me…" he muttered.

Falling from the sky are a black hair boy and a wild red hair girl as they shouting, "Get out of the way!"

This day is getting weird… Tai thought with sweatdropped.


(Next Time)

"Yo, I take it that you're the Rider of this world." Kanade said.

"What…? Your world got attacked by the Neuroi as well!?" Tai exclaimed.

"We came here to take out the source." Lapis said.

"Beware, this is a one way trip to the world that Tai thought to be abandoned." White Wizard said.
