Here it is, the remake of chapter 1.
Chapter 1, "Saa Showtime! Wizard!"
Long time ago,
There were once humans and witches, who coexisted in harmony, but the world of magic had rejected the humans because of their horrible past actions and they forces themselves to move to a new world where witches can live in peace,
While some still lives in the human world,
But the previous queen had cast a spell, a curse, which turns any witches into Witch Frogs if they were discovered by humans. In order to reverse the curse upon the Witch Frogs, they must make the person who discovered into a Witch Apprentice and becoming a full-flesh witch to turn them back.
Centuries ago, magic still lives in the human world, and it was studied by science, but as science improves itself over the years, magic was forgotten.
But if the two worlds didn't know, is that there are few humans with magic potential, it gives either to fallen in despair or bringing... hope.
It was a nice sunny morning day in a town called, Misora. Walking on the street is a young boy with brown hair and cerulean blue eyes. He's wearing a black shirt with a white dragon's head under an open short-sleeve red jacket and blue jeans with a belt around his hip, the belt buckle is hand-shaped and a pair of black shoes. On his right hand, on his middle finger was a miniature version of the hand-shaped belt buckle ring. A blue backpack was on his back, which was compulsory primary school. On his right hand is his breakfast; a bag full of plain sugar donuts, on his left hand he put a donut in front of the sun and took a bite. "Mmm, delicious."
While eating his donut, suddenly he saw a strange red bird that looked like a plastic or metal model somehow, the bird chirped something to him, he seem to understand what it says. "You found one?"He asks the bird who nod to him, he sighs in annoyance. "Couldn't they wait until after school, it looks like I'll be late today... on my first day too." He said, finishing his donut of a butcher.
He places his bag of donuts behind a bush. He brought out his pockets a ring, on the ring a design of a dragon coming out of a portal, he replace the ring of his right for the new ring and put in front of his belt buckle, causing the ring and the buckle to shine.
"Connect, please!" The buckle announces, and
In a flash of red, a magic circle appeared in the air. The centre was a circle which had something akin to a face with a dragon around it. The second ring held design at the cardinal points marked with a circle, a square, a diamond, and a triangle. The last ring held ancient and magical writing in it. He put his hand into the circle and pulls a red and white bicycle. He gets on his bicycle and start pedaling to roll with Garuda leads the way.
In a park...
"AAAAAAAAAHH!" People cries as they running for their lives, behind them were the strange creatures that looked like they were made of gray stone with veins of lava fissures blac how their bodies. Their faces were flat with faces that were difficult to distinguish between the cracks on their bodies. The only real facial horns they were bright orange out of their heads.
When the people are running away, a little boy fell on the ground, the boy was on his knees then he turns his head to see another monster differed from the other monsters, the monster looks like a minotaur with blue and white armor on his body, traces of red like blood, the head of Bull with horns, on his hand he holds a huge axe.
"Out of my way, child." The bull said he approached, the boy was desperate to escape he still fell, while the bull was about to approach one anymore.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!
Sound of a gun drawn is heard three monsters were hit directly chest and three balls directly to the bull's horns and broke it. The bull is shocked, holding the left horn now broken in pain.
"Silver bullets!?..." He said in question then turn his head to see who is responsible, the boy took the run after being saved by someone, the bull sees a person hiding among the trees, it was the same boy before but he holds a white a gun which it was silver and bulky with a closed fist mounted on it in his hand.
"Picking on little kids? That's low of you. "He said mockery.
Without waiting, the bull create a large fireball from his hand and throwing to the boy, it causes an explosion, the bull seem to be satisfied, but the flames created by the explosion seemed like they were drawn by something, before parting to reveal a new character where the boy was standing.
From head to toe he was clad in a black bodysuit which concealed his form. The belt had transformed it into a silver metal belt with the hand marking in the centre much bigger in than before and the position of the left hand with switches on both side of it and a chain of rings on his left. His chest was covered in red gem-like armor which was a long line down the middle with three sections on each side that were rectangular, but slightly askew. His shoulders were covered in black armor with silver edges that were decorated with dragon-like crests. From his waist hung a robe-like waist covering which was red on the inside but black on the outside. His wrists and ankles sported bands that were the same ruby red as his chest plate. Finally, his head was concealed by a silver helmet which had a ruby red faceplate, sporting metal lines making it appear as if it had large eyes with antennae rising from the forehead, it appears that the figure was an adult judge by his size. The figure had his left hand outstretched to the side, as a large magic circle floated in the air, sucking in the flames, before the figure lowered it as the last of the flames were sucked in.
"You…! The mage! Wizard!" the bull monster gasped in recognition.
Wizard lifted up his left hand, showing ruby ring sported what looked like goggles of some kind, which made the ring look just like his mask. "It's…Show time," Wizard said confidently, although he was now in an adult size he still he voice of a child which sounding slightly modified, as if it was coming from a speaker. Wizard began calmly walking towards the assortment of monster, with his weapon, the WizarSwordGun, in hand.
"Get him!" the bull monster commanded, as the other creatures charged at Wizard. Wizard continued to calmly walk towards them, even as the creatures began closing in on him before he simply lifted his weapon and fired at any of the creatures that came too close as though it was the simplest thing in the world. After hitting at least 3 of the creatures, he suddenly dashed forward, easily bypassing the creatures, before spinning around and delivering a kick to the back of one of them.
The creatures immediately tried to surround him, but Wizard easily evaded them as he displayed skills that marked both a talented acrobat and an accomplished martial artist at the same time as he easily flipped over the creatures, whilst shooting them in mid-flip. When he landed, one of the creatures tried to hit him with a spear it suddenly pulled out, only for Wizard to grab the spear, holding it in place, before shooting the creature at point blank, causing it to stumble back.
He then quickly dodged under a strike from one of the creatures, before delivering kicks to two nearby creatures, before he spun around and landed a strong kick to the creature that had just tried to attack him, pushing it back into a group of its brethren, causing them all to hit and breakthrough a tree.
Wizard calmly walks, before lifting up his weapon and straightened out the barrel of the gun, causing a blade to unfold, converting the WizarSwordGun into Sword Mode. He then dashed forward, as he struck several of the creatures with the sword, causing sparks to fly from the impacts. He then quickly jumped forward and spun in mid-air to avoid several of the creatures trying to counter attack, before striking them the moment he landed as he quickly spun around to catch one of them trying to attack him, and promptly used it as a shield to block another attack, before kicking it out of the way.
Seeing its minions getting beaten, the bull monster from earlier tried to do a sneak attack, but Wizard saw it coming, and easily dodged the attack, as well as any other follow-up attacks the bull monster attempted with its axe. The bull monster then attempted another sideway strike with its axe, but Wizard simply jumped and flipped over it, landing a few feet away.
The bull monster seemed ready for more, before it promptly turned tail and started walking away, while the other creatures quickly converged on Wizard, effectively covering the bull monster's escape. Acting quickly, Wizard tried to dash forward, but was unable to get to the bull monster as he was forced to evade, block, and attack the creatures. One of the creatures tried to strike Wizard when his back was turned, but Wizard quickly spun around and easily parried the attack with his sword.
"Stay out of the way, won't you?" Wizard commented with a hint of annoyance, before pushing the creature away. He then converted his weapon back into gun mode, and pulled the thumb of the hand on his gun, causing the hand to open.
"Come on a shoot, shake hands! Come on a shoot, shake hands!" The WizarSwordGun singing in English and the barrel of the weapon began in shining a rainbow colors while at the same time a magic circle appeared on the palm of the hand, prompting Wizard to place his left hand on the form hand in a way that looked like he was made a handshake with the gun, and causing the ring on his left hand while flashing the gun barrel was red.
"Flame! Shooting Strike! Hii Hii Hii! Hii Hii Hii!" The weapon declared, as fire started to erupt from the gun.
Wizard slowly lowered the gun as the creatures, now known as Ghouls, surrounded him, before he quickly spun around whilst pulling the trigger multiple times, causing the gun to shoot enchanted fireballs at them. The Ghouls were pushed back as Wizard's magic circles appeared over them when the fireballs hit, before they exploded in blazes of glory, completely covering him in the flames, and when the flames dispersed, Wizard was left completely unharmed as he simply lowered his gun.
Seeing all the ghouls gone, he looked around and realized that the bull had escape. He pulled out a red cell phone and made a call. The phone rang for a second, before someone picked up. "Hey, Koyomi. I dealt with the Ghouls, but the Phantom got away. Can you find it?" he said, referring to the bull monster as a Phantom.
"I'll try, but I need more than just Garuda if you want me to find the Phantom," the voice from the other end, a girl judging by the voice, Koyomi, as Garuda fluttered down next to Wizard.
"You're kidding me, you know that takes a lot of me." He said in annoyance.
"Sorry Johnny, but you know I can't do a proper search without all your familiars, especially considering we just moved here." Koyomi said.
"Hai hai," Wizard sighed he pulled out two rings, one of the rings has their own a design on it; a blue unicorn and the other a yellow octopus with horns. He puts the blue ring on his right hand, before adjusting a lever on his belt, causing the hand design to shift into a position that made it look like a right hand. "Lupacchi Magic Touch to go! Lupacchi Magic Touch to go!" While singing he put his right hand in front of the buckle.
"Unicorn, please!"
"Kraken, please!" As the buckle declared, little pieces of plastic or metal and appeared together to form a miniature blue unicorn with a slit on the chest and another plastic model appeared together to form a miniature yellow octopus that had horns on if for any reason, with a slit in front of his head.
Wizard then put the rings on the slots on both familiar. "Go find the Phantom; it should not be far away." He commanded and they both understood and start their search. Then Wizard's armor is stripped off by a magic circle that came from down to up, leaving him as the boy once again, when he looks at the park's clock...
"AH NO! I'M GOING TO BE LATE!" He cries panicking, he took his bike and made a mad speed.
On the way to school...
"I swear, making a wedding cake is a bit too much."
"Yes, you're right."
"Major Rika asked too much."
"But a wedding cake is so romantic, couples will be happy."
"Of Seven floors? Have you lost your mind, Doremi-chan?"
Walking to school, five girls are having a spirited conversation about an idea that their boss had suggest, one of the girls has red hair styled into two 'dumplings' thick pink scrunches with a single gold music note attached to one of them and magenta eyes. She's wearing a light pink top under by a purple vest, lace-pink knee socks, and bright pink and white tennis shoes.

These girls are Doremi, Hazuki, Aiko, Onpu and Momoko, the witch apprentices or what the witches called them the Ojamajos, this year they have another chance for them to become real witches. The Queen of the Witch World have pleads to the other Senior Witches to make Doremi and the others witches again, but half of the Seniors are opposed to the decision. Thus, the Queen offers a compromise in that the girls, who are made into apprentices again, must pass six patissiére exams in order to become full witches. With the Maho-Do remodeled into a bakery, Doremi and the others are joined by Momoko Asuka, a returnee from America who initially has little experience with Japanese outside of using a special intercom, to help them bake sweets needed for their exams. So far they manage to pass two exams and only four more to go.
"We'll never gonna succeed to make a multiple stage cake, it will eventually be very heavy to carry and fall." Momoko said.
"Momoko, have you ever made a wedding cake before?" Doremi asked this causes the girls to watch their friend, being from the United States and spend time to learn baking and magic by a witch.
"No, Major Monroe said I wasn't ready for." Momoko explained. "I told you, I'm not an expert."
"Too bad, it would make all the couples happy." Doremi said disappointed.
"Come to think of it, my mother would like to order a cake for her assistant's wedding anniversary." Onpu said.
"Really, the assistant of your mother will celebrate her wedding anniversary, how many years?" Hazuki asked.
"2 years."
As the girls were discussion about the cake a voice caught them by surprise.
"Excuse me! Pardon me! Excuse me!" They turn their heads to see who it was, then a boy run pass them which they flinched a little, the boy turns his head. "Sorry About That!" He apologized while running.
"How rude, Puf! Puf! Puf!" Doremi puffed.
"That boy sure is in a hurry." Momoko said.
While the girls see the boy run, Onpu thinks otherwise, she has the feeling of having seen him before. But suddenly she was out of her thoughts when Doremi called her.
"Onpu-chan, come on!" Doremi called her, when Onpu saw that her friends were already up ahead. "I'm coming!" She cried then runs to join them.
Later…
Meanwhile, in an abandoned building in an unknown part of the city, the bull from this morning was painfully walking in the building. He walked for a while, before turning toward the stairs leading to the upper floor. "Master Phoenix," he bowed kneeling in one knee. On the railing was a man, he wore red pants, black boots, a black shirt and a worn out red jacket. He also had short black hair and a short, scruffy beard.
Phoenix sniffed before jumping down. "Care to explain how you screw up so bad, after all the noise with those ghouls?" Phoenix questioned almost amused / careless tone.
"The ring-bearer mage had interfered." The bull replied.
"The mage?... No doubt about it, it's him, Wizard," Said a female voice behind him. Turning around, he saw a woman who seemed to be in high school wearing a black and purple floral pattern dress and a purple scarf. "Mistress Medusa," The bull bowed again.
"Our mission as Phantom is to make all the Gates lose all hope so that the new Phantoms could be born." Medusa recalled when she walks calmly to Phoenix. "It is only for Wiseman keeps the Sabbath again," She finished and Phoenix smiled maniac.
"Yes I understand." The bull nodded, quietly left the room.
After all the students have gotten to class in time and studied the whole 1st period this morning, the bell ring signaled that it was time for recess. The five Ojamajos were heading their way to go outside, as they walking their good natural clumsy friend Doremi accidentally bump in to someone and starts to fall before the person caught her with reflexes.
"Hoh! Save." Doremi signed glad that she didn't fall this time.
"You okay?" A voice asked as Doremi look at her savior before she saw the same boy from this morning. When she got a good look on his face she notices how cute he was which cost Doremi blushing.
"Ahh! I-I'm fine, t-thanks!" She mumbled while still blushing.
"You should be careful, otherwise you'll end up being a clumsy girl." He said with a smile.
"Oh, don't worry about it." Onpu assured him. "Our friend here is already a clumsy girl."
"Onpu-chan!" Doremi snapped blushing in embarrassment.
"Onpu-chan?" The boy repeated with wide eyes as he turns to see Onpu. "Onpu-chan, is that you?"
"Yes, is me." Onpu responded assumed the boy to be a fan but also couldn't help why he looks so familiar. "I'm Onpu Segawa, nice to meet you."
"I know who you are." The boy waved off. "Don't tell you don't remember me?" He asked with a teasing smile which made Onpu confuse so the do the girls as they looked at each others'.
"Is me, Jonathan Hōseki, but you probably know my nickname Johnny, mhh?" The boy now known as Johnny affirmed.
"Jonathan Hōseki...? Johnny...?" Onpu repeated. Now she knows that the name was familiar to her, she starts to think harder as she tries to remember before she remembers something: it was in a kindergarten with little kids playing outside, on the sandbox there are two kids playing one was a younger Onpu and the other was a little boy with brown hair and blue eyes, the two of them smiles as they having fun.
"Johnny-kun!" She gasped as she recognizes him. Her friends were surprised by Onpu's sudden outburst. "Johnny-kun is that you?" She asked.
"Of course is me, who do you think I might be?" Johnny joked while smiled feeling the happiness.
The girls were confused before Doremi starts asking. "Onpu-chan, do you know this boy?"
"Oh! That's right!" Onpu realized that her friends were in front of them, smiled she presents Johnny to them. "Girls, I like you all to meet my best friend from childhood, Jonathan Hōseki."
"EEEHHHHHH?!" Doremi, Hazuki, Aiko and Momoko cried in shock.
Onpu keeps smiled as she presents her friends to Johnny. "Johnny, I present you; Doremi,"
"Hi!" Doremi give him a waved after the girls gotten out of their shocks.
"... Momoko"
"How do you do?" Momoko said in English*
"... Hazuki"
"Hello" Hazuki bowed her head
"... and Aiko."
"Howdy!" Aiko said in Osaka accent
"Hello, any friends of Onpu are my friends too. And you may all call me Johnny for short, I like it better." He said with a smile.
"So you're friends with Onpu-chan since childhood?" Momoko asked. The five girls and one boy are currently walking outside while talking, and it turns out that today is his first day at school and his in 5th grade like them but in class 3, so the girls decide to give Johnny a tour to the school.
"Yeah, way before she becomes an idol," Johnny responded, "We use to go in the same kindergarten from another town we used to live once, the two of us got along so well and play with each others. But sadly, I moved." He said.
"And we have made a promise to meet each other again one day." Onpu nodded. She remembers very well, the day were Johnny's parents has to move had broken Onpu's heart but Johnny manage to cheer up again and they made a promise.
"And don't forget you also promised of becoming a great idol." Johnny reminded.
"Yes, yes, that, that!" Onpu giggled. The day when his parents are about to move Johnny not only did they make that promise but making her promise of becoming a great idol.
"And you already fulfil it!" Johnny chuckled. "I mean, I saw you everywhere, posters, magazines, commercials, heck even that new movie with that giant monster that came out!"
"Did you watch it?"
"Nope." He shocked his head. "Only the trailers, posters and newspapers."
"Since when do you read newspapers?"
"To see happen to the world... and to kill time." He chuckled.
As Doremi, Hazuki, Aiko and Momoko watching them chat they couldn't help but be happy for Onpu, the smile on her face was full of happiness.
"Ne, 'Jonathan' is an English name, right?" Momoko asked. For being a girl who lives in New York for years and moved in Japan, she could tell the differences of the names.
"Yeah, it is." Johnny turns his head to Momoko. "My parents happen to be fond of Western themes. So they named me after that famous American author." He explained making the girls awe.
Before the girls could ask another question, one of the boys who are playing soccer accidentally hit the ball that went towards Johnny and the girls. Johnny saw the incoming ball and perform a jump spin before kicking it, the force of the kick was strong enough to send the ball going straight at the group of players, one of them have got it with his hands but then he fell on his butt, the players who have kicked the ball look straight at Johnny who perfectly landed in surprise. The girls were surprised by his sudden move, especially Doremi since she's getting to like him more and more and for Onpu she was wondering if her childhood friend plays soccer.
"Sugoi. Johnny-kun, do you play soccer?"
"Huh? Ah! No, not really, I'm just working out, that's all." Johnny waved it while chuckling nervously. 'Thank you martial arts!'
Soon, the six friend return inside the building to get to class before the bell rings.
"I'll see you in next recess?" Onpu asked along with the girls.
"Sure," Johnny nodded before headed to his own class. "Ja ne!"
Onpu and the girls wave at him as he went on, something tells them that is not only the recesses they'll going to see him.
Later…
The day ended, the students took their bag, replace their shoes by their common and were going home, but our witch apprentice friends have other things to do. The girls were going to Maho-Do, Onpu had asked Johnny if he could come with them and he agreed it. Onpu just wants to talk Johnny a bit more.
By the time they arrive, Johnny could see the shop and he had to say the owner must have a good imagination if they were able to construct it.
"So this is where you and your friends worked?" At the beginning Johnny was surprised to hear that the girls are working in a sweetshop, but they said they only help an elderly woman, children of their age aren't allowed to work unless if it was for their parents or a senior citizen in trouble.
"Yes exactly." Onpu respond with a smile.
"Well, I can't wait to taste your sweets." He said.
Inside the sweet shop, a miniature woman floats right in front the window seeing the girls with a boy, the woman has long wavy blonde hair that is about hip length along with two long curls of hair that looks like antennas with a large pointed hat, shade of purple eyes and wearing lipstick. She wears a unique outfit, a white leotard with a big green gem in the center, attached to translucent pale green-yellow pants. She wears a single gold band on her upper left arm and a single bracelet on her left wrist. This woman is a fairy named Lala. "The girls have arrived and it seems like they brought a friend with them." She said softly.
Riding on a floating shovel blade was a strange light green creature, it resemble a frog with a big head and a small body, around its neck is a big crystal ball, small eyes, thick red lips and a single hair. This strange frog is a Witch frog named Majo Rika. "It doesn't matter as long they have to work," she said without a care, "We have a debt this month and those girls had to work hard!" She turns and flies away so the 'customer' does not see her.
Lala just smile as she watches the witch frog floating away. She look at the window again to see the girl leading their friend inside, seems like their gonna have another smiling customer once he'll eat their sweets, it always makes the girls happy by seeing the customers smile by eating their sweets, she even thought that a sweetshop was a great idea and the girls take pleasure of making sweets.
Elsewhere from the sweetshop, "I wonder where Johnny? He should be home by now. "A young girl said, she has long black hair reaching to her back and light purple eyes. She wears a white long sleeves dress with a brown vest and a brown skirt, which, for some reason, gave her the appearance of someone from the Middle-Ages. On the counter in front of her was a crystal ball. "If he found that Phantom, I hope he's save." She said worried.
"No worries, you know him," Coming from a voice, landed on the counter was another witch frog but this frog is different, her color was paler green, she even have a small ponytail on top of her head and around her neck is a crystal shaped like a crescent moon yellow-green in color. "He can handle very well without any problem," she said with a smiled.
"Or he just stops to eat some plain sugar donuts." The witch frog said which causes the girl to giggle a little, knowing very well that boy he will always stop to eat some plain sugar donuts.
"ACHOO!" Back to the sweetshop, Johnny had sneeze probably someone was talking about him. Once he came inside the shop he saw all different kinds of sweets; cakes, cookies, candies and many more. Onpu had asked Johnny to wait outside where there's a table and chairs to sit until the girls exchange their outfits. Meanwhile, his thinking what kind of order he'll take, usually he prefers donuts but all those sweets gives him a desire to eat one.
"Well I'm here," Johnny turns his head and seeing Onpu in a different outfit, she wears a cute, simple, maid like uniform; a white dress with ruffles and puffed sleeves with purple linings, around her neck is a purple scarf-like apron piece, on her back is a similar themed bow, the boots she wears are white with music notes etched in at the top and he bottom part is purple color, she also worn a maid like hat that is white in color with ruffled pieces in purple, as well as the intercom pieces she wear. By seeing that outfit on Onpu, Johnny finds her more cute and attractive.
"You know that outfit makes you very cute." Johnny compliment which cause Onpu to blush... a little bit but not much than a tomato.
"And me, and me?" Doremi came out of nowhere asked, right now she wears the same uniform as Onpu but instead of purple she has pink on it, hoping that Johnny gives her a compliment. Johnny look at her for some seconds before he sees the rest of the girls in their dress but different color: Aiko; blue, Hazuki; orange and Momoko; yellow. "You look cute too, as well for all of you girls." He said making Doremi all blushed when he said that, and the girls were feeling flattered.
Later…
Johnny enjoys a slice of lemon meringue pie, at the table in front of him was Onpu, they still have a lot of things to tell. They talked about how were they doing in their life, how Onpu did in her career or how was in Tokyo. "Yeah, Tokyo is really great and big. So big that not even a cat could find it's way." Johnny said by taking a bite from the pie which gives him a big smile.
"How's your lemon meringue pie?" Onpu asked.
"Yum~, and for some reasons I thought there's magic in it." He said which cause Onpu giggle, obviously there is magic because the secret ingredient to all the sweets was; magic powder. Inside, the girls were looking at their friend talking to her childhood friend.
"I'm glad to know that Onpu-chan has a close friend since childhood." Hazuki said happily for her friend.
"Yeah, it was a surprised to learn that Onpu have a best friend, even from the beginning we didn't know it." Aiko said in her usual Osaka accent.
"Hmm? But what do you mean? "Momoko asked in confusion. The two girls seeing their confused friend and they decide to explain. "You see, all we know about Onpu-chan's past is she wanted to be an idol since she was very small and she works very hard for her mother." Hazuki explained.
"And we never know she has one or more close friends. But there is one right there! Right Doremi-chan?" Aiko said but moment she saw her friend.
"He's so dreamy~~!" And yes, they recognize very well that expression is still their friend is falling in love with another boy.
"Bye, see you all tomorrow!" Johnny said and waved at the girls which they return it, Johnny was really lucky he had reunite with his childhood friend that he didn't her for several years and he has also made new friends, he couldn't be happier than before, Apparently, Johnny stops walking and take a moment in his thoughts, "I'll see you one day, it's a promise!" These words come from long time ago before he moved to Tokyo.
GRULB ~!
Johnny was out of his thoughts as he put his hand on his belly, "That's right, I haven't finished my donuts. It's amazing that I'm still hungry even after eating that delicious lemon pie." He said as he put a ring on his right hand and placed in front of his buckle.
"Connect, please!" Announced the belt, Johnny raised his hand, and a magic circle appears right in front and he stuck his hand into it.
Somewhere, a squirrel was sniffing the bag of donuts that Johnny had put behind a bush this morning, before the squirrel can do anything a magic circle appeared and a hand came out, this action causes the squirrel to run away when he saw a strange circle and a hand appeared out of nowhere scares him, the hand who is out of the circle is trying getting the bag, after a few moments the hand finally got the bag and take it with him in the circle.
At the same place where our hero Johnny is, he took the bag out of the circle and satisfied with his success he opened the bag and took a donut. Just as he was about take a bite he heard a scream, and he turns his head to see. "Something told me that I should eat those later." He sighs. By placing the bag on a bench, it accelerates towards the source.
Today was a good day for the girls, why? Because one of their friends has reunited with her childhood friend, they even have a chance to know him and he immediately become their friend, they even received his nice comments to their uniforms and sweet, girls like him enough, especially for Doremi who now has a crush on him. After this evening work, busting their butts to work making sweets and serving the customers by their boss Majo Rika, it was time for them to go home, as they were walking they have meet something horrible.
"Hello there, little Gate," Before them was the Phantom, Minotaur, in front of them. The five girls were taking step backs in fear by this monster especially with Hazuki as her knees trembling. "Now, plunged into despair and give birth to a new Phantom!" He said, the moment when he was about to move a foot…
"KYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Phantom shut his ears from an unbearable cry the young girl, Hazuki is the kind of girl that can be scare and panic easily.
"Aarg! Stop screaming, you stupid girl!" Minotaur shouted clutching his 'ears'.
Doremi saw this importunity, "Girls! Let's run!" She said, Doremi and Aiko took their scared friend Hazuki and they all fled. Minotaur saw this, growling he began to pursue them.
As the girls runs from the thing, they were wondering what it was. "What was that thing?" Aiko said while running and holding Hazuki.
"No idea!" Doremi said. "But it looks like a bull with one horn missing!"
"This is no time for jokes, Doremi!" Aiko snapped. "Whatever that man turn into, he doesn't seems friendly!" Technically is true, when they were walking they came across a man, and to their shocks the man was replacing by that monster.
As the girls arrived at the park, they were looking at different directions to see if they have lost him, but to their surprised the Phantom arrived, now the girls are really terrifying, they don't know what the monster was going to do, they can always call on their magic but they are too frightening that they forgot.
"Now, there's no escape. Fall in despair, as there is no one to rescue, and see the death of your friends in front of your eyes." Minotaur exclaimed as he approach as if he was addressing to one person.
When Minotaur approach to the witch apprentices, a barrage of silver bullet was shooting at him, growling in pain and walking in backwards he turns his head to see who did it and the same for the girls, to their surprise they saw Johnny with a strange gun in his hand, the five witches didn't expect to see the boy here, especially with a weapon. But it gives them a little question: what's Johnny doing here and why does he has a weapon?
"You again?" Minotaur growling in anger. "Stop getting in my way, if you do not want to die very young!"
"Sorry but no, going after you guys is my job." Johnny said as he put his right hand with the miniature hand version ring in front of the buckle.
"Driver on, please!" Announced the buckle and transform into a bigger and bulkier silver buckle, this causes the girls by surprise. "But this time, you went too far to after my friends." He said whispering.
"Shabadoobi Touch to Henshin, Shabadoobi Touch to Henshin" The buckle beginning to sing when Johnny had pushed the switches causing the hand to move from pointing to the left side, he held his left with the oval ruby ring and pushed a metal piece forward making it look a face.
"Henshin!" The only thing Johnny could say before he cross his left arm and placing his hand with the ring in front of the buckle.
"Flame, please!" The buckle declares. Swiping the ring, Johnny held his left arm out to the side. "Hii Hii, Hii Hii Hii!"
In front of said hand, a large magic circle materialized which was bright red and had flames licking at the edges. The circle then moved once fully manifested, passing over Johnny's form as the buckle chanting. The girls were shocking seeing this that they thought their friend was set on fire but another surprise awaits them. As his body passed through it, it reveals a new figure… Wizard.
"Saa… Showtime." He declared by raising his hand to reveal his ring, the girls were shocking by this with jaw dropped seeing their friend who has changed.
Wizard walks calmly to Minotaur with his WizarSwordGun in hand, Minotaur charge at Wizard which he dodge and change his weapon into Sword Mode and give it a swing to slash at the Phantom's chest causing sparks coming out. Furiously, Minotaur trying to attack him with his axe but Wizard blocks it with his sword before release it as he spins and gives him a kick in the stomach forcing Minotaur to walk backward and then Wizard swings the WizarSwordGun several times to slashes at the Phantom causing sparks coming out of his body, and then Wizard spins around before kicking Minotaur sending him fall on the ground as he rolling, Minotaur cries of pain recover and try to attack him but whenever he tries Wizard dodge easily, but now Wizard's gonna change some tactic.
Wizard dodges another blow and takes off his ruby ring and replacing it with another. He took an emerald triangle ring his chain. On the ring it has a pair of glasses-like eyes like the ruby one and place on his left hand. He switching the levers of the buckle twice for the hand position to become left-handed again, and then Wizard puts his hand with an emerald ring in front of the Grimoir Stone to scan it.
"Hurricane, please!" The Wizardriver declares again. "Fu! Fu! Fu Fu Fu Fu!"
Then Wizard lift his left hand on the air as the same magic circle appeared above him, but the circle is now green and has wind licking at the edges, the circle goes down on Wizard and change his appearance. The armor who once had rubies were replaced by emeralds, the chest plate has vibrant emerald green with three triangles on both sides, with green bands on his wrists and ankles, and the inside of his coat is green too. The shape of his helmet is now an upside down triangle and the gemstone being emerald.
Then, he is surrounded by a green aura and wind, and then he dodges a blow from the Phantom as he flies.
"You little, you can change into different elements?!" Minotaur said in shock seeing the young mage flying through the air.
"That's right, Bull face!" Then Wizard charge at Minotaur with his WizarSwordGun in reverse grip, he strikes him several slashes by doing zigzags thanks to the element he uses. Each slashes he made the green magic circles appeared.
With the girls, they were watching the battle this whole time with disbeliefs on their faces. They couldn't believe at what they're seeing. The boy, who's Onpu's childhood friend has reunite with him and the girls who befriend with has turned into some kind of warrior and he's fighting a monster. And they also wondered if it is... magic.
"So cool!" Momoko beamed with stars in her eyes seeing Wizard gives another blow to Minotaur.
"But how does Johnny-kun doing that?" Hazuki asked.
"Beats me, but... He's doing quite well." Aiko said seeing battle.
For Onpu, she is concerned for the life of her childhood friend, but at the same time impressed seeing how incredible he is.
Minotaur drops his ax after being strike once more, Wizard landed gently on the ground. Minotaur got up to his feet and he starts rubbing the ground with one leg, like a bull preparing to charge, Wizard saw that sign and decided to do another round, planting his sword to the ground he takes another ring from the chain and replacing with a topaz square ring with glasses.
By switching the switches of the buckle twice to reform the left-handed and placed his left hand in front. "Land, please!"
"Dododo, Dododon! Don Dododon!" The buckle declared again, as a yellow magic circle with rocks licking at the edges appeared beneath on Wizard's feet then rise up turning parts of his armor into yellow and squares, on both sides of his chest armor has three yellow squares, yellow band on both wrists and ankles, the inside of his coat had change into yellow as well. His faceplate has also become square-shaped.
In his right hand, he replaced his Driver ring by another; a ring made of orange stone with the image of a dragon holding a shield and he switches the levels to make right hand position as the buckle chanting.
"Lupacchi Magic Touch to go! Lupacchi Magic Touch to go!"
And place his right hand in front of the buckle.
"Defend, please!"
Minotaur charge towards him, but then the same yellow magic circle appeared on the ground and a wall of stone suddenly rise up, Minotaur did not have time to see as he hit the wall head first and went pass through it.
"Arrg …" Growled from dizziness.
"The head is use to think, and not hitting, Bull Face." He joked while tapping his head with his finger.
"HAHAHA! HAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHA!" Hazuki and Momoko laughing out loud by the joke while the three others sweatdrop at their friends' laughs.
Then Wizard replaces another ring on his right hand, a ring made of orange stone and shows a dragon growing on, he switch twice the Wizardriver's level to reform the right hand position and then he place his hand in front of the Grimoir Stone.
"Big, please!"
Wizard lifts his right hand at he his right side as the yellow magic circle appeared. He then drove his hand forward, and when his hand exited from the other side began a gigantic version.
"AAAAAHH! His hand becomes huge!" Doremi cried in shock seeing a gigantic hand and the girls gasp as well.
After that, Wizard then turn his huge hand to the Phantom as his head was still stuck in the stone wall, he give him a small (big) slap to the Phantom as it breaks the wall as well. The Phantom rolls on the ground until he stops, and trying to rise up.
"Flame, please! Hii Hii, Hii Hii Hii!"
"Is time to end this!" Wizard said back in style Flame, putting another ring with a dragon wrapping by chains. After switching the levels, he places his hand.
"Bind, please!"
Suddenly, six magic circles appeared on the ground and each one brings up a chain, the chains wraps around Minotaur and binding him in place to make sure there's no escape.
"Now… The final." Wizard said as he switches a ring from his right hand to another representative a kick surrounded by a flaming dragon. He then switching once more and place it in front.
"Very Nice! Kick Strike! Fabulous!" A magic circle appeared beneath Wizard's feet, channelling up his legs. He then twisted on the spot, to allow the magic energy to distribute evenly before moving to a crouch and allowing his right foot to be covered in flaming energy. When it looked like his leg was actually on fire, he charged forward before doing a front flip on his hands which positioned him with his back facing Minotaur. He then kicked off the ground in a high backflip, positioning himself for a corkscrew kick. Minotaur was helpless as all he could do was watch as Wizard's magic circle appeared above him.
"Flame Style's Strike Wizard Kick!" He declared. The entire construct ignited with fire energy before stretching to allow the blow to land on the Phantom's chest.
An explosion like a small bomb went off, sending the Phantom tumbling backwards with a scream. Wizard spun a bit more before sliding to a halt several feet behind Minotaur before he stood up and raised his left hand, showing the Flame ring. Behind him, sparks continued to fly off Minotaur's body, until he explodes.
BOOM!
The Phantom Minotaur is no longer, all that remains is small flames, smokes and Wizard's magic circle.
Once Wizard saw that the Phantom was gone. "Whew." He relaxes and breathed out.
The girls have seen everything on the fight with surprises on their faces. Onpu, the first one to move, jogs towards her childhood friend. When Wizard saw his friend coming, in his mind he should explain to her, not just her but also her friends as well, to tell them all about him and his magic, and the Phantoms. But in short he seems to be use to it, that the people are under attack, and he transforms and fights right before people's eyes, this story is for another time.
Seeing Onpu who just stop right beside him, but when she sees her friend, is like as if she doesn't recognizes him anymore with his suit of armor on and who would forget that he is now in a adult-size but during battle she had heard him talking which means he still has his voice of a child. "Johnny-kun, is that really you?" She finally got the courage to ask him.
"Yep, Onpu-chan, is me in the flesh." He said. He didn't want to frighten his friend, so his armor was stripped off by another magic circle coming from down to up and shrink him, leaving him as Johnny Hōseki. "I hope you wouldn't say 'Is it a special effect or something?' or 'Is this a movie scene?' sorry to say this, but no." Johnny joked while scratching behind his head.
"But what's going on here? What was that monster? And how did you do all that? "She asked ignoring his joke.
"Let's see, how should I explain? Well, let's just said that... "Johnny raised his Flame style ring."... I use magic, I am a mage."
