Kamen Rider Wizard: Courage of Strike Witches
Spell 19: Tai vs. Perrine! Mio, we need to talk! An Honest Confession!
In what looks like a laboratory are scientists working on something that will changed the Neuroi war forever. Before them was something that can't be seen due to the lack of light but the shadow of the thing is quite fearsome.
"Everything seems to be normal here." The first scientist said.
"Time to rise the power up." The second scientist as he pulled the lever on the control.
Soon electric flow through the wires as the machine given off a red ominous light before vanished once again.
"How are things doing, gentlemen?" a voice said. The scientists turned around and see the director of this project.
"It looking good, sir. However, we still don't know if it will function against an actually Neuroi yet until we give a fly test." The first scientist said.
"Very well," The man said before leaving.
"Wizard rings contain magical powers." Announce said.
(The magic circle appears as the four rings floats out from it.)
"A dark force that exists since ancient time has been reawakening once more as they swipe through human's heart and turns into despair. The only one who can stop this mess with the abilities to use the Wizard rings…and turns despair into Hope for the future." Announce said.
(Taichi Sohma who was hovers right in front the magic circle and makes a glance towards the viewers as a quick flash of Kamen Rider Wizard can be seen in his place)
(Cue in Life is SHOW TIME!)
Maji ka?! Maji de?! Maji da! Show Time~! (Magic?! For Real!? It's the real thing! Showtime!)
The montage starts with Kamen Rider Wizard twirls around a few times with a magic circle on a background and he opens up a magic circle to the sky, letting the Dragon Phantom soar the sky.
Maru de tsuki to taiyou (It's really shocking…)
Tai was watching from above a building before looking out at the former world that he has left behind and the new world he is involved in. He turns his attention toward the lunar eclipse in the sky as purple scars glowing on his arms. His shadow suddenly becomes the shape of a Dragon roaring into the sky.
Kasanaru toki no shougeki! (The sight of the moon overlapping the sun!)
Yoshika is walking alone through the hall of the Strike Witches' home castle as she tries to found her way around, meanwhile Lynnette is preparing helping with possible chores, Shirley is working on her Striker Units, while Francesca is sleeping over a three,
Dare datte kiseki wo shinjitemitai (It would anyone believe in miracles.)
Erica is sleeping in the floor of her room, and Gertrude is trying to wake her, Eila and Sanya are sleeping together, Minna is doing paperwork, Mio is training with her sword and Perrine is observing her while hiding behind a wall. Before all of them look up at the eclipse in the sky.
Kitto hitsuyou fukaketsu no ENAJII kokoro tame (The heart needs indispensable energy)
Mio and Tai where sparring across the beach in the morning without either of them holding back. But both of them weren't aware that the other Strike Witches were watching them having their sword showdown.
Yume to yosou ii ima de uragitte kureru mono~ (Dreams and expectations will betray you in a good way.)
Suddenly there is quick montage of the mysterious White Wizard with a topaz masked his face who carries Koyomi across the beach, Koyomi crying when she don't remember anything, The Flame ring on the table along with a book that has a strange book symbol of a magic circle before it change to Tai preparing his Henshin stance and placing the Flame Ring onto his belt and his body glows radiantly within Koyomi's magic ball.
3 2 1 Show Time!
Tai changes into Kamen Rider Wizard and he spins around while showing his Flame Ring on his left hand.
Magic time! Trick janai! (Magic Time! It's no trick!)
He spins around while showing his Flame Ring on his left hand.
Mahou hiroi hanpa nee zo (This magic display is out of this world)
Three PlaMonsters: a yellow Kraken, blue Unicorn and red Garuda, floats away from Wizard as he cast a spell to make some explosions behind him.
Kioku no roots mogurikonde (Dig into the roots of your memory)
In a fast forward montage, Wizard was doing a spin dance before enter in another magic circle where he change into Water Style land on the sea. Another magic circle appears above his head and he immediately jumps high to change into Hurricane Styles as the Strike Witches are flying with their Strike units and they and Wizard are flying together.
Kibou wo tsukuidasou (And save that hope)
When Wizard passed through the magic circle on the ground, he transformed again into Land Styles, creating a crater in the Base as many soldiers falls to their knees. The Strike Witches look at him with a smile in their faces. And Koyomi extend her hand as Tai reach her hand.
Show Time!
Wizard is riding his bike along the road while The Strike Witches are flying over him in their Striker Units.
Life is Show Time tobikkiri no (Life is the greatest showtime)
Wizard jumping into another Underworld and he faced against the Phantom who tries to destroy the Hope in the world.
Unmei no life mucha shitemo (Even if you recklessly drive through fate)
Suddenly Wizardragon fly beside him as Wizard jump into the air while his bike change to extra wings lay attach on the back of the Dragon.
Kinou, kyou, ashita, mirai (Yesterday, today, tomorrow and in the future)
Tai and the Strike Witches were playing in the shop during one of their day-off before their day of peace suddenly got change into a mess when the Neuroi and Phantoms arrived. Phoenix looks at him with a crazed smirk and Medusa look impassively at him. Behind the army of Phantom is Wiseman. Tai and the Strike Witches were prepared for battle. Tai put on his Flame Ring and change into Wizard.
Subete no namida wo (All those tears)
Koyomi look up as she begins to fade away as the scene change to Kamen Rider Wizard who tries to reach his hand up to the eclipse.
Show Time!
Tai is alone in a dark room, before Agumon appears before him, but he had a sad look on his face, they try to touch each other, but an invisible barrier separated them, and then Agumon disintegrates in digital particles, as the shadow of MaloMyotismon can be seen, Tai launches a cry of sadness and rage to the sky, as the shape of WizardDragon can be seen in his shadow.
Houseki ni kaette yaru ze (I will change them into jewels)
Tai is riding his bike but this time Koyomi by his side as she hold around his waist. Wizard in his varies Style forms comes together to Flame Style form.
Maji ka maji de magic da Show Time! (Magic?! For Real!? It's the real thing! Showtime!)
The scene finished with Tai, Koyomi, the Strike Witches, Wizard and his vary element Style forms, his mentor White Wizard, old man Shigure and their allies in the scene.
"Where is he…?" Perrine growled. She was going to watching her beloved Sakamoto from afar again today before realizing something.
What am I doing this anyway? Until recently, being next to Major Sakamoto was an everyday occurrence! When did I begin sneaking around the shadows to catch glimpses of her?! That's right! It's Sohma and Miyafuji's fault! Even since they showed up…! Perrine thought angrily.
She didn't bother to compete with Tai again since she herself couldn't handle such duty of fighting against Phantoms or bring hope. Tai can get along with her beloved Major and possible be on equal term with her in sparring.
I will beat you in my own realm… then Major Sakamoto will see who she really likes! Perrine thought with a dark smile on her face now.
(Flashback)
"You… I thought I beat you!" Wizard said.
"Tough luck," Phoenix said in mocking tone, "Because I'm Phoenix, the immortal Phantom who rises from the ashes."
(Flashback end)
Phoenix, the Immortal Phantom… Tai thought as he was patrolling down the hallway of the base right now. He and Koyomi brought the green magic stone to Wajima as he was creating a new ring right now.
Things are gotten get pretty ugly if Phoenix comes back to fight me again, an enemy who keep on revival over and over again… Tai thought.
"I agree with you Taichi. We need to find a solution to deal with that immortal bastard if he shown up again…" Wizardragon said. For once he agreed with his host on Phoenix will come back to fight them again in the future.
But what do I do? Tai thought. He was about to turned around when he felt a presence that he often avoided meeting in the base.
Tai turns to find Perrine in front of him right now.
"Oh."
He can tell there is something odd about Perrine since she usually don't want anything to do with him…
"What do you want?" Tai asked.
"I'm hereby challenging you to a duel!" Perrine declared.
"Are you out of your mind right now? No way, Perrine!" Tai said before turned away already. This caused Perrine to look shock.
"What?! Why not?" Perrine demanded.
"It should be simple. I know what are you planning but it will not work. You should just confess to her yourself. This isn't my problem anyway." Tai said. Why is he stuck with a completely idiot who can't confess her love to a Mio herself?
Tai was about to leave when Perrine managed to get in front of him again. She glared at him as if he was her biggest enemy against her beloved Sakamoto.
"I. Want. Duel. Now!" Perrine said.
Tai looks at her and knowing she isn't going to budge. Women are very hard to understand sometime but she is to understand difficult as well.
"Fine." Tai said as the Garuda Familiar was watching the scene before going off somewhere right now.
(Hanger)
Tai watched as Perrine taken out an actually military weapon than the practice weapon on the wall right now.
"So what is the wager will be?" Tai asked.
"You stay away from Sakamoto-san!" Perrine said. Tai was in a thinking pose right now.
"Alright… but if I win, you have to tell Mio-san how you feel about her." Tai said with a sweet smile on his face. He often uses this smile with Yoshika if she even feels distress from working in the base too long.
This caused Perrine to blush furious right now.
"W-What did you say?" Perrine gawked. She was preparing for anything worst that Tai want from her but this is the worst of all.
"You have to tell Mio-san how you feel. This has gone for too long, baka." Tai said, as his tone turned from careful to serious.
"Just transform, alright." Perrine grumbled in quiet voice.
"I can't hear you." Tai said with a teasing smile.
"Alright, I accept your wager, baka!" Perrine shouts angry at him. Her face is totally scarlet right now in embarrassment.
Why is he helping me? Perrine thought confused to herself.
"With pleasure," Tai said, puts on his ring.
"Driver On, Please!"
"Henshin!" Tai said as he equip with the Hurricane Ring onto his fingers.
"Hurricane Please! Fuu! Fuu! Fuu! Fuu!"
Green magic circle appeared and fall down on Tai as he transformed into Wizard Hurricane Style right now.
"Let's go." Wizard said
The two soon jump off after Perrine puts on her Strikers and heading out of the Hanger then into the sky right now.
(Courtyard)
Yoshika just got outside and she was greeted from behind.
"Hey Yoshika-chan!" Francesca said as she jumped out and hugs Yoshika from behind.
"L-Lucchini-chan!" Yoshika was caught off by Francesca's appearance right now.
Yoshika removed Francesca's arms and looking for someone.
"Who are you looking for?" Francesca asked.
"Tai-niichan, do you happen to see him?" Yoshika asked.
"I don't think so." Francesca said.
"I see…" Yoshika frowned at Francesca's words.
"But we can check with Shirley! I think she might see him!" Francesca said happily.
Yoshika smiled as she and Francesca went off to see Shirley right now.
(Training field)
Flying across the countryside right now are both Wizard and Perrine before their showdown began as Wizard noticed Perrine was ready with her rifle at him.
"So it begins?" Wizard summoned a magic circle beneath his feet before using it as a bounce board to dodged Perrine's bullets.
"Hold still!" Perrine demanded angry.
"Nice try!" Wizard chuckled before avoiding getting caught by Perrine.
"Tch," Perrine growl under her teethes right now. This boy has been getting on her bad side before too long until her temper goes beyond higher than usually.
"Tonnerre!" Perrine shouts out loud in the air. Suddenly electric soon ran around her as they're hitting everything in her sights.
"Whoa…!" Wizard said, taking out a ring and scanning it right now.
"Defend, Please!"
Soon a large green magic circle appears in front of Wizard before the electric coming to hits him and taken the hit for Wizard.
"That was a close one…" Wizard said after his shield gone down.
"Damn you!" Perrine shouts. This caught Wizard's attention.
I'm not playing around this time… Wizard thought before switching for another ring right now.
"Mist, Please!"
Suddenly Wizard disappeared in a green blur right now and this startled Perrine herself. But not before Perrine got hit by blast of wind and knocking her off coursed.
He was supposed to be slow in the air! His magic power is similar to Hartmann… Perrine thought. But she nearly forgot that he has a ring for something like this.
"What's wrong, Perrine?" A voice said behind her back. Perrine turned around to see no one there but only clouds right now.
Where is he? Perrine thought as she was scans the scenery to find the green armor Wizard but he was nowhere to be found.
Suddenly she felt a hand on her shoulder right now and see Wizard's face right now.
"Are you scared now?" Wizard asked cheek tone.
"Shut up! What's wrong with you?" Perrine demanded as she trying to knock him down with her rifle to find she missed again.
"You missed again!" Wizard laughed, before reemerged a few feet from her right now.
"Why can't you take this fight serious?!" Perrine demanded.
"Hmm… you're right but I will end this one here," Wizard said. This caused Perrine's eyes widen right now when he says the words.
"Bind, Please!"
Suddenly bunch of green magic circles appeared around her as iron chains coming out of them. Perrine trying to fly away with her Strikers but it ends up been hopeless when two chains caught her legs and strikers.
"What the?!" Perrine looking down at the chains grasp hard on her Striker Units right now. She was trying to pull her unit free but she can't when more chains come and wrapped around her arms tightly.
"Are you going to yield?" Wizard asked.
"N-NO! This isn't over yet!" Perrine shouts, struggled. She trying to get her out of the chains but to no avail and her accidently drop her rifle but Wizard caught it. "This is unfair!"
Wizard suddenly glares under his helmet at Perrine.
"Saying to the one who challenge me into this battle… and one who couldn't even confessed her feeling." Wizard said cold. This caused Perrine's eyes widen in fear.
"I can wait until you run out of magic and leaving you hanging in the sky…" Wizard said. Perrine felt dread with fear as she look down from the clouds right now.
"I yield…" Perrine said quietly.
"I can't hear you…" Wizard said.
"I YIELD!" Perrine shouts with all of her voice.
"Alright. Then you will have to confessed your feeling to her or else." Wizard said as he soon lets go of the binds on her right now while still holding her rifle in his hand.
Perrine looks sad.
"What's wrong?" Wizard asked.
"B-But I don't know how? Whenever I try, there always interruptions…" Perrine explains. This causes Wizard to face-fault right now.
"Are you serious?!"
"What if she rejects me?" Perrine asked back.
"What's the worst that can happen? Perrine, this has gone for too long! I mean it, baka!" Wizard shouts at Perrine.
This seems to scare Perrine.
"But don't worry I will watch out for you." Wizard said softly.
(Dining Room)
Everyone is gathering to eat lunch right now.
"Hmm… did anyone see Tai? He usually joined us." Shirley said.
Not only her but others seems to notice their magic bodyguard isn't around here.
"Well, I didn't see him." Sanya said.
"He must be running an errand or something." Minna said.
"Now you mention… I hadn't seen Perrine lately." Mio explained.
Now this caught the girls' attention as they never seen Perrine been this late for lunch since some know this is the time when she chatted with their Major.
Tai and Perrine missing… this is a little strange. What could she be up to? Eila thought. She knew that Tai and Perrine don't get along but can't help notice something going on.
"Now you mention… this is a little strange." Yoshika said.
"Tadaima!" Tai comes into the room right now as he has a cheerful look on his face.
"Sohma, this is unusually." Mio said. "Do you happen to see Perrine?"
"So you notice her…" Tai said.
"What are you talking about?" Mio asked.
Suddenly Mio felt a grip on her shoulder and see Tai was standing by her chair right now.
"Excuse me… but I need to borrowed Mio-san for couple of minutes." Tai said as he suddenly dragging Mio from the Dining table right now.
"Sohma! That hurt! What are you doing?" Mio trying to release his grip on her but his hold on her was strong.
"Tai-niichan?" Yoshika asked.
"Where are you taking her?" Gertrude asked.
"It something extreme important and personally…" With that Tai successfully dragging Mio through the hallway right now.
"What was that?" Erica asked confused.
"I'm not sure…" Yoshika said worried in her tone.
(The Courtyard)
Perrine was waiting under the tree for Tai getting back with Mio.
"Sohma! Where are you taking me?" Her beloved Sakamoto's voice said. She turned to see Tai coming back with Mio right now.
"This has gone long enough, baka." Tai said.
Mio turned to see Perrine here as well.
"Sakamoto-san…" Perrine said.
"Perrine…?" Mio asked. "What is going on?"
"Perrine has something she wants to tell you." Tai said.
"What I can't—" Perrine protested.
"No but!" Tai cut her off, "Out with it already! This is already so overdue!"
Mio was trying to leave, but she receives a glare from Tai.
Perrine took a deep breath, and then finally spoke, "S-Sakamoto-san… I-I love you."
"What are you saying?" Mio asked confused.
"Sakamoto-san, I think I love you." Perrine repeated.
"Do you want me to spell it for you? She. Is. In. Love. With. You. The romantic love." Tai explained.
When hearing Tai's explanation, Mio suddenly become completely flabbergasted, "Wait! Love… It can't be? Are you serious?!"
"I have loved you when you encourage me in my training as a witch… And you told me that we will get Gallica back someday together." Perrine said, tearfully. "I was too scared to tell you how I felt because I never thought you'd feel the same way. But I just can't hold this in."
Mio couldn't response but she turned to look at Tai who watched them. "Sohma, you know this the whole time?" Mio asked.
"I already seen after me and Yoshika got here. Mio-san, I don't know what in the world were you thinking but you actually hurt Perrine more than you realized." Tai said.
Mio still look confused as Tai's glance become colder at her clueless and punch her in the face.
"S-Sakamoto-san!" Perrine gasped as she trying to help Mio up from the ground.
"What was that for?!" Mio shout, angry.
"You baka! Why the hell didn't you realize this?! How the hell did you become a Major with that stupidly! Do you not know this will get people kill?" Tai asked. This caused Mio's eyes wide.
"What?" Mio asked.
The former Digidestined spoke up, "Perrine. You better listen to this as well," Perrine turns, "Where I come from, being dense about your teammate's feeling is forbidden and teammate should never be romantically involved. Do you want to know why? It will lead to the entire team to their downfall if they get distract!" He said.
This caught the two witches off guard.
"What…?" Mio asked.
Tai looked at them with straight eyes, "You two are distracting each other! Mio-san, it's your fault for not aware of Perrine's feeling for you. Do you realize what you have done? Perrine is trying to gain your attention and making you aware of her feeling but you take as worship that you didn't look deeper! You're just hurting her more! Perrine… As for you! You took too long to confess your feeling, this caused you distance yourself from working with others. Do you realize that you could one day get someone injury or worse causing them to dead? Like Mio-san or yourself!" Tai yelled angry. He never thought he would one day have this conversation right now.
"Is this true?" Minna asked. Everyone come out right now.
"Minna…" Mio said.
"What are you doing here?" Perrine asked.
"W-We came here since we thought something is wrong… but this is something I never realized was going on." Minna said.
"Sakamoto-san…" Yoshika said. "I want to know… you train me to be a witch because you owe to my tou-san… but did you not realizing you're hurting Perrine-san's feeling by doing it?"
Mio have a shock look on her face. "I… I just didn't realize this."
"Maybe I shouldn't be a witch…" Yoshika said. She felt a hand on her shoulder and look up to see Gertrude.
"No, Miyafuji. This isn't your fault. The one who should be blamed was us. We were too focusing on fighting the Neuroi; we didn't realize this gone too far like this until Tai mention it…" Gertrude explained sadly.
"Miyafuji, if you didn't show up, a lot of people would have died on our team. We will be gone without either you or Tai." Erica said.
Yoshika looks surprise.
"T-Tai… I want to apology for everyone on the team for not realized what is going on." Minna said.
"We're really sorry for making handling Perrine by yourself." Shirley said.
"It's alright. The real reason I didn't tell before because someone like Mio-san has to realize for herself or someone have to tell her about Perrine's feeling." Tai said.
Tai was unaware that Wizardragon seems to be frustration at his host now. Do you want to know why? Because his host is a hopeless baka for not noticing the girls' feeling for him!
"But it not enough… you're right about relationship between teammates are forbidden. I should have realized it. But is there any way to prevent it happened again?" Minna asked worried.
"You can only be honest about your feeling toward them." Tai said. He wasn't aware what he say surprised the girls right now.
"Is that right?" Minna asked.
"It's something I thought about… Even if they reject you, it better that they know your feeling than bottling it all in yourself. But if you don't do it, you will only let yourself stuck in the past." The former Digidestined of Courage said reminiscing. He thought back to many time he seen people express love to each other back in Fuso and come to that conclusion.
"Perrine, I only like you as a partner… but I truly cannot return your feelings." Mio said.
"Sakamoto-san…" Perrine said.
"But we can still be close friends." Mio said as she gives her hand to Perrine.
"Alright…" Perrine said as she grabs it and smiled.
"I guess that how it must be…" Tai said quietly to himself.
Maybe I should tell him how I feel… Minna thought. But she isn't the only one who have this thought.
"Sohma, I want to owe you a sincere apology." Mio said.
"I don't need it." Tai waved off, "The one who you should apology is your team because you could get someone killed. I just want settle this overdue affair."
"Sohma…I-"
Tai turns away from Mio as he was walking away right now.
"Just don't do it again or I personal swore that I won't let you near Yoshika's presence. You could have endangered her life by being a complete baka." Tai said in a cold tone that promised death and despair if the answer wasn't what he wanted to hear.
"Y-You have my words, Sohma…" Mio said as she never thought he will use a death threat. Meanwhile the girls were a little startled by this side of Tai right now since he has always been nice to them.
"That is fine with me, baka." Tai said.
"You're still calls me a baka?" Mio asked, become irritated.
"You still got a lot to learn about life besides being a soldier." Tai said before leaving right now.
"Where are you going?" Yoshika asked.
"Getting some to eat." Tai said.
Tai pour milk in glass and starts eating some chocolate donuts right now.
"Umm…"
Before eats his second donut, he looks up to see Perrine walking toward him right now. Tai seem to notice Perrine look a little nervous right now.
"… What is this time?"
"Umm… So- no Taichi, I just want to apology for challenge you… I'm sorry." Perrine said, bow. "I promised that I won't do something like this again."
"That's fine with me. Beside I'm glad you would able to get through her thick head." Tai said, "If you're still trying pursing Mio-san again, it's fine with me this time but don't try getting distract from your work, am I clear?"
This causes Perrine to blush right now and stammered, "Thank you. I-I will keep that in mind."
Suddenly Mio and the girls come in to the diner room right now.
"Sohma! Don't you dare to convince Perrine! I already set thing straight with her." Mio said.
Tai look at Mio with frowned, "Is that so? Hmm… I wonder been but is Perrine the only one who have crush on you?"
"W-What are you saying?" Mio asked.
This caused the girls even Perrine look a little confused.
"What is that guy's name again? ...! That's right! Hijikata-san!" Tai said, realization, "Mio-san, is there something going between you and that guy?"
"What?!" Mio looks a little disbelief right now, "There is nothing going on between us! He is my right hand man in the military."
"But what if he secretly like you and you didn't notice it?" Tai asked. This caused Mio's face turn red right now.
"Sakamoto-san! Please don't tell me you attract a person you unaware of!" Perrine said worried. She is right now worried about Mio attract people without realizing her denseness.
This causes Minna and the girls to look at Mio with questioned look on their faces.
"Is this true, Sakamoto-san?" Yoshika asked curious.
"I didn't think this is possible." Lynne said.
"I think we're going to have a problem in our division right now if we don't get this answered straight, Major Sakamoto." Erica said.
"Alright, I'm going back to Fuso! I will ask Hijikata myself!" Tai said, getting up from his chair right now.
Mio suddenly grips on Tai's shoulder right now to prevent him from leaving right now.
"Don't you dare tried. There is nothing going on." Mio retorted.
Before the conversation goes further, the three familiars entered the room right as they stand in front of Tai.
"What's wrong? Phantom?" Tai asked.
Garuda shake it head and chirps couple of times right now to Tai. "Huh?"
"What does it says?" Mio asked.
"There are people at the door steps… they look like they're from the military." Tai repeated Garuda's message.
"What? The military, what they're doing here?" Mio asked, looking surprised.
"We should check this out." Minna said.
Tai and the girls went out the base's front door as they saw a man with group of armed soldiers outside at their door.
Minna saw the head man in front of the group; her eyes become fierce icy cold as she glared.
"You… What are you doing here?!" Minna snapped.
"Maloney…" Mio said.
Maloney smirked as the soldiers ready with their guns aimed at them. "I see that the traitors division has shown up right now with a dark secret." He said stoic.
To be continuing…
Next time on Kamen Rider Wizard: Courage of Strike Witches
Tai and the girls face an unexpected situation when Trevor Maloney shown up with his men as the Strike Witches have been disbanded under his order and replaces their division with a strange robot. Not only Tai is pissed off by this order, the leader of Phantom seems to be on the same line and decide to do something as well.
Spell 20: Strike Witches disbanded?! Burning Fort! Phoenix vs. Wizard round two!
AN: Now I finished this chapter as Perrine's differences with Tai have been resolved but it lead to more surprises for him in the future. Luckily I didn't have any feeling of putting any Phantom action in this chapter.
