Magic 1: The Worst One The Magic Hope
I do now orb Chivalry of a Failed Knight or Kamen Rider
Long ago there was once a day when Magic and Science joined together throughout ancient history. But when technological advancement appeared the magic had been forgotten, however, one magic still as was known as Blazers to unleash its extraordinary powers from inside and manufacture a weapon by your soul. With the approval of the International Organization, they were known as Magical Knights.
In the present year, there are still one-man battle terrors that no science to explain or Blazer can deal with, he is known to be the ring user, the Wizard that still roams around, and everyone's final hope.
It was morning outside where the cherry blossoms were blooming. A handsome young man with black hair and grey eyes. His name is Ikki Kurogane and he was doing a morning exercise run.
Ikki then stops and takes a deep breath after that run, he looks at the view of the cherry blossom trees and remembers something of a man he knows when he said.
"Does it frustrate you kid? Does it upset you kid? To be the weakest one? That's good, hold on to that feeling. It proves that feeling means that you are not yet ready to give up on yourself."
"Come to me, Intetsu!" He calls out summoning a black katana, he grips the handle with both hands, he opens his eyes and swings his sword Intetsu practicing intensely, and he looks up at the sky.
Once he was done Ikki took a deep breath before taking out a red-looking ring with a picture of a Garuda, he placed it on his left hand and places his hand on the waist of a hand-like buckle.
"GARUDA! PLEASE!"
A magic circle appeared in his hand, and a small model frame appeared and assembled itself into a red bird figure. Like, he inserted the ring and the small red bird started moving.
"Morning Garuda, ready to start the day" Ikki greeted the small red bird known as Garuda chirped at him in response before flying off.
Ikki looks down at his finger and sees his red ring remembering someone he promised half a year ago as he will protect everyone's hope.
Wizard: Knight of Magic
After his morning exercise, he went back to his dorm as Ikki opens the door and walks inside before noticing shoes here. So Ikki decided to check out who was there as he headed to the room, a glimmering light shining from the window as he covered his eyes.
But then Ikki saw someone in the living room and saw a beautiful girl with white skin, crimson-long hair, twin tails with yellow ribbons, a voluptuous body that the male will bewitch, large breasts, a black collar strap on her neck, and ruby eyes. However, she was wearing nothing but her black bra and panties, with a garter belt, and long black socks.
As the crimson-haired girl noticed Ikki was in the room the two of them stared at each other speechless. The crimson-haired girl gritted her teeth and squealed with embarrassment as she was about to yell at him.
But Ikki raised his hand at her. "Hold on! I already know whatcha gonna say! I'm not going to pretend that I didn't see what I just saw" he assures her with his eyes closed. "SO HOW'S THIS!" Soon he started to lift his shirt up showing only part of the lower torso. "I'LL GET NAKED, AND WILL CALL IT EVEN!"
However, the crimson-haired girl only blushes speechless when she sees what Ikki's doing, she lets out a scream. "AHHHHHHHH" echoes from the domes and slaps him in the cheeks.
Outside of the school ground, there was a young girl with black smooth long hair, violet eyes, a dark red shoulder cape with a collar, a light brown dress with flowers on it, white long frill sleeves, red socks, and white shoes. This is Koyomi.
She arrives at the school because she wants to meet someone there. Koyomi walks in and heads to the dome, but then she sees the crimson-haired girl who looks stern and storms out of the dome. She now wears a white long button shirt, black vest, black skirt, long stockings, bow, and a waist tie behind her back, and black shoes.
Koyomi blinked watching her leave, wondering what was up with her, she then noticed a beautiful woman with dark short hair that was tied up into a small pony, yellow eyes, and wearing a black suit walking up to her. Her name is Kurono Shinguuji as she notices Koyomi and approaches her. "Oh, it's you," she recognized her. "You're here to visit Kurogane, am I right?"
"Y-Yes" Koyomi replied nervously.
"Then after a couple of times of visiting him, he'll be having a match against Vermillion, make it quick" Kurono informed her as there will be a match with Ikki and the girl. "Or would you like to stay here and watch?"
"I can't, I need to get back to the shop" Koyomi stated as she will not stay and watch his match sadly.
"Just make your meeting quick before his Mach battle with Mrs. Vermillion starts," she said before leaving.
Koyomi looks concerned about what Ikki got into this, especially for a match to start early on the first day. She then notices Ikki walking down the stairs and she walks up to him as he notices her doing so with a worried face.
"Oh, Koyomi you're here?" Ikki was surprised to see her here early.
"Ikki, what's going on?" she asks as Ikki turns his scratches on his back head and tells her what happened.
After hearing his story she pouted, staring at Ikki with a deadly eye glare and a dark aura surrounding her. "So you just went in there and saw her undress," Koyomi said sternly at Ikki.
As Ikki, he sheepishly gestured his hands at him to calm her down. "Okay, it was wrong of me to look at her as well as take off my clothes to make it even, it just appeared suddenly that's all" he explained his reasons but Koyomi was still pouting with her arms crossed and blushed imagining him with no shirt. "But there's a reason why she was there in the first place."
Ikki explained to Koyomi why that crimson-haired girl had just gone into his dorm as she understands why she was there. "I get it," she nodded to him.
"I know it's bizarre, putting the two of us in the same dorm because of our ranks," Ikki said before looking at Koyomi who looked sad.
Hearing the F-ranked is what Ikki was ranked as she feels like he should be an A-ranked like that girl passed by. "You know Ikki, I still think it's unfair of you being an F-rank though, you're skillful" Koyomi sighs before she feels something on top of her head and sees Ikki's hand.
"Don't worry about my rank but what matters is honing my skills as a magic knight and a magician" Ikki assures her, causing her to kill nod at him with a smile on her face. "I better get to my match, but I'll see you back at the Antique shop," he said goodbye and headed off to his Mach battle against the crimson-haired girl.
"Okay," Koyomi replied before walking away from him. "Be sure to win! And I'll let Wajima know!" she said happily knowing he would win with his skills. This made Ikki happy to hear her say that he headed off.
Hours later the match was about to start. A few people were here at the arena to see the duel from an A rank versus an F rank. But what Mr. Wajima said was true.
(Elsewhere)
Inside an antique shop an old man wearing a tanned button shirt, brown pants and a vest, was working on carving a strange-looking stone, not just any stone, this one has magic.
The doorbell rings as Koyomi walks into the antique shop and the old man walks out of his work and notices her. "Oh, Koyomi, your back so soon, how's Ikki?" He asked before taking a sip of coffee.
"He's doing alright Mr. Wajima, except he's gonna have a Mach battle" Koyomi replied, causing the old man Wajima to spit out his coffee, shocked by what he heard of her.
"M-Mach battle! Right now!?" Wajima gasped.
"Yeah, he's gonna battle a girl named Stella Vermillion," Koyomi said sitting down on the couch but she worried for Ikki.
"Vermillion, from the Vermillion Empire? I heard that their princess is one of the most powerful and gifted," Wajima remembers as this got Koyomi even more. "Don't worry about him, I'm sure Ikki will win this battle" he assured her.
"But, she's the strongest and gifted, remember" Koyomi reminded him.
"Yes, but let's not forget that Ikki has something else that she doesn't have. Honing and hardworking skills" Wajima said, smiling as he knew Ikki would win, but for Koyomi, she wasn't sure.
(Back At the Academy)
Down in the area center, Ikki waited for her as he did some workouts before the match started. Kurono was him, having a conversation about his match. "I was surprised that you said yes to this?" She asked, swiping her pad, checking the setting and temperature.
"Well, she's someone I had to beat eventually," Ikki said, stretching both of his arms.
As this amuses her. "Beat her, huh? I like your opinions," she commented.
"You said I had to win in the seven-star sword art festival" he pointed out to her, as Ikki let out an exhale. "Because if I win I can graduate even if my ability scores are low. I'll hold you to that?" Once again this made her amused by him as Ikki looked at the entrance with a serious smile expression. "And she's sure to compete, it has to happen," he said, assuring that she would come here any moment.
"Oh, she's here!" One of the bystanders points out and sees the crimson-haired girl walking from the entrance.
As an A rank that came from another country steps into the arena, she stands right in front of the F-rank Ikki. "Hi, Mrs. Stella," he greeted her. "You're all set."
The crimson-haired girl known as Stella looks unpleasant with what she knows about him. "I heard about you. I heard that your ability scored so low, that you don't even qualify to take even in real combat classes. Maybe it'll be safer for you if you'd just stop trying to become a Magical Knight" Stella said after knowing everything in his history.
"You might be right, still, I'm not quitting this match," Ikki said knowing as he is not backing down.
"Are you one of those people who think hard work can stand against real talent, you're wrong" she said to him who doesn't believe it.
"That is exactly what I believe," Ikki said in what he believed in.
Stella rethinks back to her country as she defeated every opponent that challenged her but was still undefeated no matter how many of them were. "Like I don't work hard, who the hell do you think you are" she scowled with her eyes covered.
Ikki looked surprised by what he heard. "Let's get started. Director, we are ready and waiting for your command?" she asked as Kurono heard her.
"Very well the Mock battle will now begin" she announced. "As you all know, a Mach battle is a non-lethal competition. The purpose is to drain your opponent's strength, weapons are to be deployed in phantom form only" she explained.
With that, the room turns off to green as Ikki was the first to call out. "Come to me, Intetsu!" he shouted as a black katana appeared in his hand.
Stella is next as she calls out. Serve my will, Laevateinn!' she shouted as a longboard golden sword with red markings of a dragon breath on the hilt.
As the Mock battle started with a horn noise.
"Let's go ahead!" The announcement said.
The first to charge in was Stella who charges toward Ikki with her golden sword surrounded by the fire she swings down before Ikki manages to dodge her attack.
"You're smart to dodge, my dragon breath fire burns about three thousand degrees celsius, taking it head-on would've turned you into ashes!" She hollered before swinging her sword to the left, Ikki ducked down to dodge.
Then she swings down as Ikki moves to the left and deflects his sword as the fire passes him, Stella keeps swinging her sword at Ikki and he deflects every attack she swings down.
"Is he sending me off!?" Stella thought as she swung her sword, Ikki slid down with his katana front. "You're pretty gifted at running away!"
"I… was observing you. The sword technique that you've been using, I've seen it, not just your talent. Your hard work too" he said, seeing her stance and techniques.
Stella gasps after hearing him before she focuses on this Mach battle. "You've got a pretty good eye, but the technique I've been using is going to be harder than that to see through.
"Oh, I already have" Ikki murmured before charging at her, raising his black katana and swinging down, deflecting her attack. Stella was stunned as she recognized that technique, wondering how he knew that.
But then all of a sudden a fireball blasted both of them away and fell to the ground after that impact.
"Was that you!? Cheated to beat me with your friends!" Stella grumbled.
"No, I would never cheat. And those aren't my friends" Ikki said to her.
"He's right, we're not friends at all!" Someone marches through the entrance, revealing it to be a humanoid creature. The body is blue with a couple of white, silvers, and purple, a couple of white armour with red marks and gold line edge, a tail on, ahead with horns, and wielding a long poleaxe. This is Minotauros.
The other students were stunned to see a creature like that here, but he wasn't the only gray creature like a stone with horns on it. They are known as Ghouls, as they attack the student, some of them try to fight back but have no effect since they have never faced something like them or Minotauros.
"So you're the princess from the other country" Minotauros stares at her as Stella gets herself up with her sword.
"Don't you dare look down on me, I am A Rank and show everybody more than just my talent," Stella growled before gripping her hand on the handle? "I'll burn you down, by my sword!" She shouted.
"No, wait!" Ikki falls out but she ignores him.
Stella raises her sword with flames, she swings down a mighty slash at the Minotauros.
But that did nothing on the Minotauros as that slash Stella attack just wiped off. She was shocked as no one ever survived, Minotauros grabbed her by the neck and lifted Stella, she was choking and tried to get free.
"You're powerless against me," Minotauros said as Stella was almost near death a teardrop of her went out of her eye.
"Hey" this got Minotauros attention as he looked and saw Ikki standing up front. "Let Miss Stella go now, or else I'll end," Ikki demanded.
Stella looks at him wondering what he is doing, Minotauros laughs out loud after hearing his demands. "Ah ha ha ha ha ha, that's hilarious, kill him first, show no mercy!" Minotauros commanded as the Ghouls charged up to Ikki, Stella watching this as she couldn't bear to watch.
As the ghouls charged at him, Ikki smiled as gets down and did a low sweep knocking all of the ghouls down. He gets back up as two more Ghouls charge at him, Ikki does a high spin kick at the Ghoul's face and slams the other Ghoul with his black katana. He knocked them out, he then placed his right hand on the hand buckle.
"CONNECT! PLEASE!"
A red holographic circle appears, Ikki places his hand in and pulls out a silver unique gun, it is bulky with a closed fist he pointed at Minotauros.
"What?" Minotauros looks confused as Ikki smiles as he spins around and shoots bullets.
As Minotauros place Stella upfront as a human shield for cover. But one of the bullets that were flying straight towards them suddenly curved to her left and passed by her and landed a hit on Minotauros letting Stella go.
Minotauros stumbled back a bit as see his horn shot off. "Those were silver bullets!? It can't be, are you a Wizard?!"
"A wizard?" Stella gets up after hearing what Minotauros said she heard of wizards as fairy tales to kids. She stares at Ikki as he smiles.
"Then you will die!" Minotauros growled and threw a fireball at Ikki as it hit him in flames.
"Nooo!" Stella yelled as she tried to get up and see if he was alright.
But then all of a sudden it caught everyone's attention as a fire tornado absorbs the flame from a red circle, Ikki's body was completely donned in a black suit with his chest has red gem-like armour, a long rectangle with three-section on each side in the middle, his shoulder is cover in black armour with silver edge decoration of a dragon crest, his waist has a long black robe-like cover with the inside red, his hand and leg has red brace band just like the red chest. His helmet is silver with a red ruby faceplate just like the ring on his left hand he wore, a metal lining that makes a large eye, antennae rising from his forehead, on his left hand is a ruby ring. His belt is silver with a circle in the centre, with hand decoration. This is Kamen Rider Wizard.
This stunned Stella completely overwhelmed by the surprise of what she saw as the rest of the students were surprised as well.
"It's true, you are the Wizard!?" Minotauros hollered.
"It's showtime," Wizard said while holding his left hand showing his red ring.
(Playing Life is SHOW TIME)
Wizard then starts walking up to him before Minotauros commands his Ghoul with him.
"Get him!" He orders them as the Ghoul all charges toward him.
But Wizard simply shoots the Ghouls with his silver gun then he dodges on and twirls around kicking all of them in the face, then he jumps in the air and kicks with the back feet. He then walks down again and shoots down some of the Ghouls as one carries a stone spear Wizard dodges to the left he blocks the other Ghoul's spear with his hand before shooting his silver gun and does a twirling roundhouse kick in the chest sending it flying and crashes into a wall.
Wizard kept firing before he changed his gun to a sword, the Ghouls charged at him, Wizard slashed all of them, he jumped up in the air, slashing one, and he decked the Ghoul's spear with his sword. He drags one and uses it as a shield letting the other Ghoul slash it down, Wizard slashes it before noticing Minotauros appears in mid-air, he swings down his pole axe Wizard lifts his leg and dodges his swings he jumps over him.
Once he landed all of the Ghouls surrounded him which made Minotauros leave. Wizard tries to go after him when the Ghouls are in the way, slashing them, they use their stone spears and slash at him, Wizard deflected them with his sword. "Man you're in the way," he said before doing a roundhouse kick at the Ghoul's face.
He reverted his sword to his gun, he opened the fist-like as it turned into an open hand-like.
"C'MON SHOOT! SHAKE HAND!"
He places his left hand as if he is shaking his hand.
"FLAME! SHOOTING STRIKE! HI HI HI HI HI!"
As it chants, Wizard spins around and shoots all of the Ghouls, they all explode as Wizard remains standing.
Stella gets up and stares at him as the light glimmers on him. "W-What are you?" She asked him.
Wizard did not say another back to her as he turned around before running off and chance after Minatauros. Stella just watches him as he leaves, but looks suspicious as she decides to follow him and wants to know more about him.
Outside of the arena, Wizard runs out and searches around the area to look for Minotauros but is nowhere to be seen.
"Rrrhh, it got away" Wizard murmured to himself before sliding his belt as the hand moved to the right side.
"LUPACHI MAGIC! TOUCH GO! LUPACHI MAGIC! TOUCH GO!"
Wizard pulled out a blue ring with a picture of a Unicorn and placed it on his right finger and placed it on his belt.
"UNICORN! PLEASE!"
A blue model-like frame appeared assembling into a blue Unicorn-like figure.
Then he slides his belt one more time when he did not notice that Stella was there and watches him to see what he will do next. He replaced the blue ring with a yellow ring with a picture of a Kraken now and placed his hand on his belt.
"KRAKEN! PLEASE!"
Now a yellow model-like frame appeared assembling it into a yellow Kraken-like figure.
Wizard pulled the two rings and inserted them onto each of the small plastic creatures. "Okay you two, you know your assignment, help Garuda" Wizard commanded them as they both nodded and left.
Below Wizard's feet, a red circle appeared and went up through him reverting to his original state and heading out to find Minotauros.
Then Stella decided to approach him and asked him. "What are you, some magician with real magic?" She asked suspiciously.
Ikki stares at her before showing him a smile. "Well, yeah that was real magic" he replied, shocking her before walking as Stella follows him, asking him more questions.
"So that's not Blazers, that was real magic?" Stella was asking questions despite the magic power he showed. "It's different to Blazers though."
"Yeah, guess so, you can call me a magician," Ikki replied.
"Magian?" Stell repeated that last word he said.
"But who was that monster over there, I never saw anything like it" Stella wondered what was that Minotauros back there. There has not been one for a long time.
"That one was a Phantom," Ikki replied seriously.
As Stella blinked in confusion at what that word Ikki said. "Phantom?" She repeated.
Ikki nodded. "Even people possess magical powers similar to Blazers, there's another power that people there are known as Gates. But if their magical powers were stolen, they're called Phantom" he explained everything to her.
(Elsewhere)
In an unknown area at the warehouse, he looked around for someone here until he spotted someone on the staircase.
"Master Phoenix" Minotauros addresses him by bowing down.
This monster's body was red armour, gold pads, and blue eyes. This is Phoenix.
Phoenix scowled before jumping off the staircase and landing in front of Minotauros as he was not happy with him. "You were chosen to let that Gate despair and you summoned Ghoul that far to yet failed" he snorted before his body changed into a human man with a goatee, black hair, wearing a red ripped vest, dark red shirt and pants, and white shoes.
"If it were for that Wizard I would have let her despair fall" Minotauros explained his reason to him.
Then someone else was there as it was revealed to be a female monster, her body was dark blue and pink lining, gold pads, snake as hair, and a black visor with the top resembling a snake scale top. "You're talking about that Wizard?"
Minotauros was shocked when he saw her. "Mistress Medusa!" He addresses her.
"We're still on the task of making Gates fall into despair to create new Phantoms," Medusa said as she reverted her form to human, she now has dark long brown hair, wearing a long dress, and a sash around her neck. "That is what Wiseman said and perform the Sabbath once more."
"The only problem is that girl is a Blazer, not to mention she's also known as the Crimson Princess she'll be difficult" Minotauros points at to her.
Medusa turns around to Minotauros with a dark look on her face. "I don't care who she is or what empire she's in, make sure that Blazer lets her into despair!" She shouted.
"Yes, Mistress" Minotauros bow down to her.
"Just forget about that Wizard and do what you do best," Phoenix commanded him.
"Yes, master" Minotauros obeyed, as Medusa smiled.
Minotauros leaves the warehouse and heads outside as both Phoenix and Medusa watch him.
"He better, otherwise we'll have to call-."
"No, we're not involving him in" Medusa interrupted what Phoenix said before walking off. "Like I'd let him with this task," she thought as she and he will never work together like last time they did.
(Back to Ikki and Stella)
"So Phantoms target people who are known as Gates, does that mean they attack during our Mach battle is that one of the students," Stella said thought to him.
"Yeah, I'm afraid so" Ikki replied to her answer.
Stella looks stunned before asking him more questions. "Wait a minute, there's something that bothers me, how were you able to use that kind of magic?" She wonders.
"Well, to put it simply…..I have a Phantom resisted within me" Ikki replied.
"Eh!" Stella gawked speechless of what he said, but what does he mean a Phantom residing him as she was confused by that part? Then she sees him walking away, before calling out to him about their Mach Battle. "Wait! What about our Mock Battle?!" She wondered.
"I'm afraid I'm gonna have to forfeit," Ikki replied.
"What?!" Stella shouted in shock as he forfeited this Mach Battle.
"Look, this is something I need to do, but I can't let that Phantom roam around. I need to find a Gates to stop him before it's too late" Ikki reasons her before running off.
But then Stella stands in front of him all of a sudden with a dark expression she summons her golden sword and points it right at him. "Do you think I'm gonna let this one go, we still have the battle to finish" she said sternly.
Ikki lets out a sigh. "Look I know this is important, but I can let a Phantom out there. I'm sorry" he apologized before walking away.
But Stella isn't gonna let this one go as she kept glaring at him. "Alright, just let him go already" they heard someone's voice calling and they saw Kurono appear as she approached them. "I already postpone your Mock Battle for another time, until then I'm holding all Mock Battle on hold for now."
Ikki nodded in agreement before running off to find Minatarous, but Stella was not okay with this.
"Why would you postpone our Mach Battle!" Stella demanded to know why as Kurono.
"We can't have Phantom roaming around in the school. I'll leave this one for now" she explained her reason before walking away.
But Stella looks down at the ground letting her teeth grit, she looks where Ikki left and decides to follow him to find out more about the Phantoms.
Ikki as he looks around for Minataruos at the school ground but there is no sign of him. As Stella was behind him watching everywhere he goes without being noticed by now, she kept following Ikki to know more about the Phantom monsters and Gates and how he got that power.
Soon Ikki lets out a sigh as he continues walking and approaches a pink truck with the sign that says Donut Shop Hungry. A man with a weirdly looking haircut wears pink clothing and with him is another man with black hair wearing the same clothes.
"Ah, welcome Ikki-Kun" the weird hair man greeted Ikki.
"Hello Mrs. Yu, and you too Ryu" Ikki greets the two of them.
"Now then, would you like a donut? We have several new flavours on the menu" the weirdly looking woman known as Yu suggested to him.
"New flavours" Ryu holding the menu board.
"New flavour"
The two of them tried to suggest to Ikki the new flavour of their menu, but he asked for one of the donuts he prefers. "Just plain sugar," he said, causing both of them to fall into depression.
"You always order plain sugar. No surprises there" Yu sighs seeing what donut Ikki ordered.
Once he gets his small bag of plain sugar donuts as he walks away before grabbing one bite, soon Stella appears out of the shadow as she stands in front of the magician.
"So, you're having a snack aren't you?" Stella said, startling Ikki as he almost dropped his donuts.
"Oh, Mrs. Vermillion!? What a surprise to see you here?" Ikki said sheepishly, Stella placed her hands on her hips sternly of what he was doing here.
"How could you eat in a time like this, when a Phantom is roaming around the academy, right," Stella said vastly to him. "And why donuts, you know that'll make you fat?"
"It's kinda complicated to explain. So why did you follow me?" Ikki wondered why Stella was following all around.
"I…..have a reason, alright" Stella replied. "Now, tell me more about the Phantoms."
"I'm not sure Mrs. Stella, you're not planning on taking on one of them?" Ikki said with his eyes narrowed.
"Well of course I am, after all, I will take down any for I see, defending my honour in the name of the Vermillion" Stella said it straight to him.
However, Ikki looks concerned about her idea of facing a Phantom. "I'm not so sure of you taking one, only a magician can take them on," he said seriously as this is not an ordinary monster.
Stella glares at him in frustration. "So what's your point? You want me to give up because I'm weak!" She shouted as if he was mocking her.
Ikki just stares at her letting out a sigh before biting another donut Stella turns around from her with her arms crossed. "Must be great to have that kind of magic like you, first you think all hard work will do the job, and now magic you don't have to despair" she said sternly of everyone he does.
Ikki was silent from her as he looked down at the ground, rethinking the day that happened when the solar eclipse he was one of the people who were kidnapped unknown. From that event, people were there transforming into monstrous creatures the Phantoms were born, as Ikki was about to be one of them but he did not let himself turn into a Phantom like the rest of them and kept believing his hope and somehow survived what happened on that day.
"I get I have this power, but that doesn't make me no despair" Ikki assures her, Stella turns back to him in confusion.
"What?" She blinked.
"The reason why I have this type of magic is that I didn't give into my despair."
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Stella asked, wondering what he was saying. "Whatever, I'll just fight the Phantoms with my strength, like I ever fall into despair so easily."
"That's good for you to say that, but you did fall into despair" Ikki raises his left arm at her while showing a ring with a hand-like picture on it as Stella looks at him showing her a smile. "I am Wizard, also known as, your final hope" Ikki replied to her as this caught her what he said in that last part.
"Your final….hope?" Stella said repeatedly as her cheeks were suddenly red speechless and just stared at him. "W-What was that supposed to….mean?" She stuttered with embarrassment.
"I gotta go now," she grumbled then walked off leaving him deep down there was some infuriating but at the same time, something inside that burned her.
Not far away as Koyomi was passing by her and watching her leaving Stella did not notice her at all.
"Mrs. Vermillion!" She then heard someone call as a man wearing fancy attire was approaching her. That man is her butler who is here to take care of Stella as she was transferred here. "I've been looking all over for you, why weren't you at the academy?" He has before noticing her face steaming red. "Uhh Mrs. Vermillion, is something wrong? Did you catch a fever?" He asked her, worried.
"I-It nothing I need to be alone, that's all San!" Stella replied as she was still embarrassed before walking away from him, but her butler San was not gonna let her leave as he ran off and followed her.
Back with Ikki as was eating his plain sugar donuts before noticing Koyomi approaching.
"Hi Koyomi," Ikki said to her with a smile.
Koyomi looked at him with a concerned expression and she spoke up and asked him about his Mach battle with Stella. "Hey, so how did that Mach battle go?"
Ikki froze, hearing what Koyomi said as he chuckled a bit. "Well, it's like this" he started to explain what happened.
Then the both of them notice Unicorn as they both know where Minatauros is at now.
"Might as well finish this later" Ikki said, putting his plain sugar donuts away and following Unicorn leading both of them where Minatauros is at now.
(With Stella)
"My lady, I suggest that you calm down," San said, calming her.
But all Stella was thinking about was Ikki and the magic power he possesses and everything that he did during the Mach battle. "That guy. Ikki Kurogane, just who the hell he thinks he is," she murmured angrily.
"Mrs. Vermillion I must inform you that Mr. Kurogane is an F ranked the worst one" San reminded her.
"Even so," Stella thinks back during her Mach battle as swings down that technique, Ikki somehow uses the exact technique she uses and he uses it against her. "No, I can't let my guard down, not even Kurogane."
"But Mrs. Vermillion," San tried to convince.
"I made up my mind so don't try to convince me, I'll be the strongest than Ikki Kurogane and his magic powers. And take down any enemies or a Phantom. After all, that's why I came to Japan, to prove my mother" Stella declared straightforwardly.
San just stares at her after listening to what he desired before smirking he walks up by the neck and lifts Stella.
The crimson princess pushes him, freeing herself. "And what do you think you're doing!?" Stella shouted at him.
But his response as he slaps the crimson princess with his backhand Stella falls to the ground before looking up and seeing her butler San grinning sinisterly. San then silhouettes his face, shocking Stella as he changes entirely revealing himself to be the Minatauros.
"You! Where San!" Stella shouted demanding to know what happened to her butler.
"Unfortunately for your servant, he died for letting himself into his despair of my birth. An end for him a new beginning for me" Minatauros explained as the real San died.
Stella gritted her teeth as she got up and summoned her Laevateinn. "Now I'll show you just how powerful I am. I, Stella Vermillion of the Vermillion Empire shall burn you!" She exclaimed before raising her golden board sword in flames and swinging it downwards.
But Minatauros simply withstand the heat of Laevateinn shocking Stella, he then lands a hit at her sending her down to the ground.
Stella tried to get up but quivered. "But….how!" She groaned.
"When it comes to facing a Phantom, you are completely useless, even for you, Mrs. Vermillion" Minatauros growled before walking up to her and stomping her right on the back.
Stella was completely stunned as she was beaten up by a Phantom, all that hard work and ranking she did over the years has now become to fail and defeat. Then she felt something inside of her chest, Stella of slight pain, as the Minotauros let out a laugh.
"Now, let out your despair as a new Phantom is born" Minotauros sneered before laughing out loud. Before a silver bullet travels towards him and lands up a hit, causing Minotauros damage, letting Stella off as he looks and sees Ikki holding his gun with Koyomi by his side.
"The ring magician!" Minotauros recognized him.
"Make sure Mrs. Stella doesn't fall into despair," Ikki said to her before Koyomi walked up to Stella.
"I don't have time with you, the princess will fall as a new Phantom will be born!" Minotauros shouted.
"To think she was a Gate all along, and that's exactly why she'll never fall," Ikki said as he has a ring with a picture of a hand on his right before placing his hand and placing it on his hand buckle.
"DRIVER ON! PLEASE!"
A red magic circle appeared, flashes of light shining on his silver belt with a large hand symbol on it.
"I'm making this quick to save her and defeat you!" Ikki shouted, placing his ring on his left hand, pressing the switch on either side, and moving the hand symbol to the left light appeared.
"SHABADOOBIE HENSHIN! SHABADOOBIE HENSHIN! SHABADOOBIE HENSHIN!"
Ikki raises his left arm before flipping his red ring goggle-like down.
"Henshin" Ikki said before placing his left hand on his belt.
"FLAME! PLEASE! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI!"
The light turns red. Ikki moves his hand to the left as a magic circle appears and then goes through him, he transforms into Kamen Rider Wizard.
He then held his red ring up.
"It's showtime," Wizard announced before walking up to him.
Minotauros raises his poleaxe as the both of them charge toward each other Wizard ducks down to dodge his poleaxe. He then doves once more before grabbing his poleaxe, landing a kick to his chest then spins a roundhouse at his face.
Wizard presses the switch of his belt placing his right hand on his belt.
"CONNECT! PLEASE!"
A red circle appeared placing his hand in there pulling out his gun in time when Minotauros charges at him and swings his poleaxe, Wizard fires directly up close multiple times. He sent him flying, the ring magician to change his gun to a sword now.
Now arm their clash, Minotauros swings his pole axe lower, Wizard jumps to doge with a flip they slash their weapons, the ring magician does a backwards flip avoiding Minotauros's pole axe swings. He lands back on the ground, slashes him then kicks Minotauros's chest. As Minotauros straight stab with his poleaxe and tries to attack him, but Wizards pierced through destroying his pole axe completely and striking him to the chests
Minotauros flies away and falls to the ground, he gets back up and charges towards Wizard's head like a bull. Wizard blocks his attack with his sword, unfortunately, he was too powerful causing the ring magician to slide on the ground being pushed by Minotauros. Wizard then flips over him and lands back and decides to change his red ring to a yellow gem ring.
"You're not tougher than I thought. So I'll use this one" Wizard then watches the belt hand and places his left hand on it.
"LAND! PLEASE! DODODO, DODODO! DODODON!"
A magic circle appeared below his feet before it went through him with pieces of rocks flowing up, parts of red turning to yellow now with his face a yellow square of topazes. This is Kamen Rider Wizard Land Style.
"You can change your element!" Minotauros was surprised but he doesn't care as he charged toward him.
"Of course I can," Wizard pulls a new ring of a dragon with a shield and places it in his right hand. Then he switches the belt's hand back to the right and places his right hand on it.
"DEFEND! PLEASE!"
Wizard summons a rock wall as Minotauros runs into it and sucks there with half of his body sticking out, the ring magician looks at him before spinning a roundhouse to the face. Sending Minotauros flew up as the wall broke into rumbles.
Then Wizard switches his belt two times.
"SHABADOOBIE HENSHIN!"
He replaced his Land Style ring with a green emerald ring.
"I still got more, that'll blow you away," Wizard said, placing his hand on his belt.
"HURRICANE! PLEASE! FU! FU! FU! FU FU! FU!"
Wizard raises his hand and a magic circle appears above him surrounded by a green wind. He jumps through it and stands on top as his yellow part becomes green with his new emerald face. This is Kamen Rider Wizard Hurricane Style.
He bounces off the magic circle flying up with a green tornado surrounding him, Wizard flies towards Minotauros and slashes him with his sword from everywhere sending him back on the ground letting out a groan.
Wizard flies back down as he takes out his red ruby ring in his hand he switches his belt reverting to his first form Flame Style.
"FLAME! PLEASE! HI! HI! HI! HI! HI!"
"LUPACHI MAGIC! TOUCH GO! LUPACHI MAGIC! TOUCH GO!"
Then Wizard switches the hand to the right side as he takes out another ring of a silhouette dragon of a kick.
"Finale," Wizard said before placing a hand on his belt for a final attack.
"CHOINE! KICK STRIKE! SAIKO!"
A red magic circle below him as Wizard spun around before letting his right leg out, whipping his coat to surround his right leg engulfed in flames. As the Minatauros picks himself back up, Wizard then performs a front cartwheel flip and jumps up in the air aiming his leg.
"HA!" Wizard shouted and flew forward, magic circles appeared surrounding him and went right through Minotauros leaving him a red magic circle he let out a cry before exploding in flames. Wizard spins around a few times as the flames put themselves out as if it was never there.
"Ikki!" Koyomi calls to him as Wizard looks and notices the crimson princess' condition as Stella starts to have cracks on her as she is starting to fall into despair. "At this fate, she'll fall into a Phantom."
Wizard runs up and sees Stella's cracked body." I won't let that happen. Never again" he swore that this will never happen as he did to kneeling to her.
"It's you…I am a fool…..I couldn't beat him…some A rank I am" Stella sobbed with tears coming out of her eyes.
But Wizard wiped them off of her with his handles. "Don't let into your despair, I make sure of that" he pulls out a ring and shows it to her.
Stella tries to look up and see Wizard before remembering what he said.
(Flashback)
"I am Wizard, also known as, your final hope" Ikki replied.
(Flashback end)
"You're…..a really…some F Rank," Stella said to him.
"Like I said before, your final hope" As Stella just stares at him for a moment she raises her hand at Wizard's hand as he places a ring on hers.
Then Wizard turns the switch twice as he places Stella's hand on it.
"ENGAGE! PLEASE!"
Stella soon passed out as a magic circle appeared above her, Wizard levitated and entered through allowing him to enter her underworld.
(Stella Underworld)
Once Wizard lands down on his feet he looks around and sees Stella as a young girl in her memories, she was on her bed and with her is her mother.
"So this is the world her subconscious is, the underworld?"
"I do mother," Young Stella confronts her mother. "A little nation such as ours has to have a strong magical Knight."
But that moment was interrupted when purple cracks break a monster with six legs, wings, and a long tail. That is Jabberwock Stella's inner Phantom.
"That's some magic entity" Wizard was surprised as the Jabberwock wrecked everything of Stella's underworld with purple cracks markings. He switch his belt hand to the left side as he took out a ring with a dragon silhouette on it.
"LUPACHI MAGIC! TOUCH GO! LUPACHI MAGIC! TOUCH GO!"
"Better make this one quick," Wizard said before placing his hand on his belt.
"DRAGONRISE! PLEASE!"
Wizard raise his hand a magic circle appeared summoning a mechanical dragon with its body in silver and gold colours, and red diamonds. This is Ikki's Phantom, WizarDragon.
Unfortunately, when the WizarDragon flies towards their Jabborwock inside it flew past Wizard as it also destroys Stella's underworld as well as it roars it wrecked everything as well.
"What are you doing? You must've destroyed Mrs. Stella's underworld! Okay me!" Wizard commanded it as he pulled out another ring, he switch his belt twice before placing his hand on it.
"CONNECT! PLEASE!"
A magic circle appears as emerges a white motorbike. This is his Machine Winger as Wizard hops on his bike and droves off following WizarDragon.
As the WizarDragon was wrecking everything with purple crack all over, Wizard drives down the WizarDragon side. He did a wheelie and jumps up spitting the bike into separate wings-like Wizard connected the Machine Winger on the WizarDragon and tames it as he guides it to the Jabberwock.
The Jabberwock noticed the two of them heading this way as it fired at them, then the two of them had an intense fight both sides were gaining the upper hand before going to opposite sides before charging.
Wizard pulls out his sword as he opened the fist-like as it turned into an open hand-like.
"C'MON SLASH! SHAKE HAND!"
"FLAME! SLASH STRIKE HI HI HI HI HI!"
Wizard's sword was infused by fire as flies down with WizarDragon charges straight towards the Jabberwock he slashes it in a second marking the end of the Jabberwock as it exploded.
(The Real World)
Stella's crack shines as if her crack weren't there on her, a sign that she is free of nearly becoming a Phantom. Then Stella's ring created a magic circle as Wizard emerges out riding on his Machine Winger. Wizard stops before reverting to his normal self again, Ikki gets off and approaches the two of them.
"Is it finished?" Koyomi asked.
"She's fine now, she is no longer a Gate" Ikki replied as this got her smiling relieved she is okay.
Hours later as Stella wakes up from her unconscious she looks around and found herself on a bench. But the most noticeable part was the ring that Ikki gave to save her.
"So all he did to save me…..was hope" Stella muttered as this causes her to smile with amusement.
On the street, Ikki drives down with Koyomi from behind as they drove off. But his adventure has just begun.
