Round Zero: The Four Card Symbols
Finally…the final Card Suit has appeared…and in a shocking fashion! And it appears that the wearer is a villain, given how he greeted the two F-4 members. And It's official: The final Card Suit is modeled after the Suit of Wands…and the symbol of the buckle says it all…it's the Clubs Suit!
Read on and see what else the green-armored fighter can do, and I assure you, folks, that the results will be terrifying. Now it's complete, as all four Card Suits have appeared:
The Suit of Coins…the Suit of Swords…the Suit of Cups…and now the Suit of Wands…what will happen from here on…?
And...what gives?? The Suit of Wands wearer is similar to Ryu's body size and height?? Definitely it's not Akira Mimasaka...then if so, who is wearing it??

Ryu Amakusa and the two F-4 members stared in awe at the arriving intruder who got off a motorcycle that was patterned after the Clover symbol, and the three teens braced themselves, realizing that the missing Club Buckle that was being worn by this mysterious intruder is the one approaching them. His armor was green with yellow ornaments, his helmet resembled a spider, and although his height and frame is a bit smaller than Ryu, the intruder itself moves quite menacing.
Ryu stepped forward and intercepted the intruder by asking that person a question, hoping that he might reach out to that person.
"Stop where you are. Who are you? Why are you wearing that buckle? Are you a high school student? You're the same size and build as my classmate.".
But the armored figure did not reply with words, but with action, as he took out what appeared to be a small baton, but in a quick motion, it became an extendable staff, with the tip appeared to be a card reader, and struck the blue-haired Class Q member on his face, injuring his nose and knocked him down. Blood soon dripped from his nose as the green-armored intruder went towards Mask Rider Chalice, and soon a fight broke out between the two.

Episode 51: Soroi no Wando: Kamen Raidā Rengeru
As Ryu got up after controlling his nose-bleeding, he and Blade watched as the green-armored attacker took on Chalice, and both were amazed at how he handled the black-armored, mantis-looking fighter well. Chalice took out his black bow and fired several energy arrows, but they were blocked when the green-armored fighter rolled his staff and shielded himself, and then followed it a jab on Chalice's gut, sending his opponent staggering back.
"I can tell that whoever is wearing that suit…he's underage. Moreover, Class R and S told me that Isaka sent several Clow Beasts to abduct several teenagers, and from what Sojiro Nishikado told me and Kyuu, only one of the abducted candidates can be compatible with that suit…wait! Then that means that the attacker is wearing an armor based on the Suit of Wands!" Amakusa's mind told him as he puts on a metallic belt and took out a black cellphone with the Omega symbol engraved.
Meanwhile Blade made his turn and took out his Blayrouser and charged towards the intruder, but was unable to get through as the staff kept him from making a direct hit. Like Chalice, the armored F-4 leader was struck by the green-armored fighter's staff on his gut and face, staggering back as he was amazed that someone shorter than him could make a successful combo.
"What weaklings you humans are. You are not worthy of my time. But know this…what you just felt is a part of my power. Soon all of you will fall under the power of Leangle!" the emerald-armored attacker hissed, his voice was menacingly hoarse thus the three teenagers realized that the armored attacker is being controlled by a Clow Beast.
Ryu realized that the attacker named Leangle has to be taken down and strip him of the buckle with the symbol of a Clover engraved, so he punched the codes on his black cellphone.
0-0-0 ENTER
The black-colored cellphone, with the Greek letter Omega engraved on it known as the Orga Phone spoke with a dark voice and said,
"STANDING BY…"
The blue-haired teenager chanted "Rider Change" and inserted it onto the middle holster of the belt and the Orga Phone said "COMPLETE", and his body shone in black and orange lights, diverting Leangle's attention. The emerald-armored attacker saw Ryu changing to Mask Rider Orga. He was quite impressed at Orga's appearance, which resembled a futuristic military officer.
"Ahh…a human worth challenging…but I doubt you could beat me…come, show me what you have!" Leangle sneered. Ryu, as the armored fighter Orga, wasted no time and charged towards his green opponent, and was greeted with a strike to his chest and face courtesy of Leangle's staff. As Orga staggered back, Leangle swings his staff in a counter-clockwise motion and hit his opponent's right ribcage area, further harming the Class Q member.
The two F-4 members realized that Leangle has to be subdued, and are now going to rouse their cards. Leangle noticed his opponents' action and followed suit, and took a card at the right side of his belt, which turn out to be the Category 10 of Clubs: REMOTE TAPIR. He then swipes it onto the tip of his staff, and a voice spoke from the staff.
"REMOTE…"
The card that Leangle roused floated in the air and then flashed brightly as an energy beam went towards Blade and Chalice's cards, and the two armored F-4 members' cards that they were about to swipe into their rousers flashed and the Clow Beasts were unsealed. Blade's TACKLE BOAR and Chalice's SHUFFLE CENTIPEDE cards were unsealed, freeing the two Clow Beasts. Chalice and Blade were now being assaulted, and Leangle resumes his fight with the armored Ryu. Ryu took out a bladeless sword and pressed the ENTER button on his belt, and a dark voice spoke from the Orga Phone.
"EXCEED CHARGE…"
Ryu, aka Mask Rider Orga, activated the Stlanzer, a powerful laser sword, and his now going to swing it against his opponent, intending to disable him and to separate him from the Club Buckle, but Leangle took out another card and swiped it onto his staff's card reader. The card he took out was the Category 9 of Clubs: SMOKE SQUID.
"SMOKE…"
After the card was absorbed into his armor, black smoke shoots out from the staff and enveloped Orga. Despite wearing his armor, the smoke went inside Ryu's helmet, and was taken by surprise as he was unable to hold his breath and inhaled some of the smoke, choking him. Leangle took the chance and delivered a 5-hit combo attack, sending the armored Class Q member rolling away and crashed against a mailbox, and the Orga Phone was detached from his belt, thus reverting Ryu to normal and is knocked out. Seeing that he is victorious, Leangle made his escape, and the two unsealed Clow Beasts fled from the scene, leaving the two armored F-4 members dazed and humiliated. They reverted back to normal (Blade pulled the lever on his belt and took out the card and the projection wall appeared and enveloped him, becoming Tsukasa Domyouji, while Chalice took out a card, which is the Category 2 of Hearts: SPIRIT HUMAN, and swiped it onto his belt buckle and he reverted to his human guise of Rui Hanazawa) and then they saw Ryu slumped on the ground, unconscious. They checked on him and realized that his rib cage area is damaged and brought him to a nearby hospital.
Several minutes later, the Centipede Clow Beast searches for a victim and ended up at a bridge, seeing a group of children playing, and immediately pounced on them, injecting a paralyzing venom, and after making sure the children couldn't move, he proceeded to strip them of their clothes (the children are now naked) and one by one he disemboweled them, eating their organs while alive, and the victim dies after his/her intestines and heart are eaten out, and blood spilled on the ground.
The remaining children screamed loudly to get help, but it was hopeless, and the Clow Beast went on to the next victim, eating her alive, and so on until all are dead. After finishing on his feast the monster was about to leave when Leangle arrived via his motorcycle with a clover engraved on it and took out his staff and prepares of the defense. The Centipede Clow Beast charges forward and is about to attack him when Leangle took out a card, which turn out to be the Category 6 of Clubs: BLIZZARD POLAR and roused it onto his staff's card reader.
"BLIZZARD…"
The BLIZZARD POLAR card glowed and went through Leangle's armor and the staff's tip sprayed a mist of freezing ice, trapping the Clow Beast inside turning him into an ice statue. With the monster frozen, the green-armored fighter took out an empty card and tossed it against the frozen monster, absorbing it. It became the SHUFFLE CENTIPEDE card again, but still under the Category of Hearts, but it didn't matter to him as he placed the card inside his card storage box attached to his belt, but then he clutched his head, feeling pain. After a minute, Mask Rider Leangle regained his composure and sped off.
At the nearby hospital where Kyuu is confined, the assembled DDS students were surprised to hear about what happened, after the F-4 leader told them that he single-handedly fought the new opponent and Ryu joined in, and both were defeated and his TACKLE BOAR card was unsealed (Rui asked Tsukasa not to mention his involvement).
"So then…the Suit of Wands has appeared…but who could be wearing it?" Daisuke wondered.
"And the wearer is a teenager??" Yukihira queried?. "Yes…the armored attacker is a bit shorter than Ryu." Tsukasa replied.
"You got his name?" Kyo asked. "He calls himself Mask Rider Leangle. He's very strong and is good in using the staff, which turned out to be a rouser similar to Sojiro and mine." The F-4 leader answered back.
Everyone were silent at what they just learned and now they'll have to find Leangle and try to pin him down without hurting the user, believing that he was still brainwashed. But then Syaoran had a thought popped into his head.
"I don't think brainwashing is the answer. Remember…Isaka…or rather, the Peacock Clow Beast…has been sealed, hence his mental control over his victims are now off. Maybe…".
"The Club Buckle is booby-trapped, and took possession of the user just like what happened to Susumu." Sojiro interjected. Sakura and Tomoyo left the room to think over about what to do next, seeing that the situation is getting worse.
"So…Leangle has this REMOTE TAPIR card that can unseal Clow Beasts…" Sakura mumbled. "Do you know what a Clow Beast is, Sakura?" Tomoyo asked. The Cardcaptor shook her head sideways, meaning no. The two female Class S members wondered what steps they should take next, since they're practically on their own as Kero was nowhere to be found.

- Well…there you have it. The Suit of Wands…and what a fighter he is…he took down three opponents with ease, and even beat Ryu.
- And that's his official name: Mask Rider Leangle. You get to see what his cards could do, so strap onto your seats, folks…he's going to go for a joyride and cause problems for our heroes…and capture other Clow Beasts for his decks and the others.
- So Leangle's is as tall as Ryu, huh? Who could that user be…? Well, in the past several chapters, you saw various teenage anime characters being experimented on, and failed to armor up, but one particular character didn't go through the process of the final test due to Mask Rider Garren interrupting it. That's a clue for you…try guessing Leangle's identity
Preview:
The combine members of Class R and Class S team up with Tsukasa in finding Mask Rider Leangle, as their Clow Detector detected a Clow Beast roaming around town nearby and is causing chaos. Will they be able to stop him?
And Leangle's identity will be finally revealed, so get ready…
