Welcome back, everyone! How are you all doing today? This is SuperHeroTimeFan now coming back to FanFiction with a brand-new Chapter for my newest Winx Club and Kamen Rider Crossover story, Winx Club: Raidarix! I am so happy with all the support I have gotten ever since I released the Story on the Fourth of July. It really means a lot, and I thank you all for your continued support. I especially would like to thank Dragon Rider 66 for his interest way before I even started the story, WinxStarDracoFire for liking it as well, and many more of you for showing interest in a new take of a Winx Club crossover with Kamen Rider. It really means a lot to me. Now, I know some of you noticed that I used five characters from the story done by Ten-Faced Paladin, known as Knights of the Otherworld. I did. I messaged him about using them, but he never got back to me before the Fourth of July, so I had to move on. It is sort of a way to promote them. To everyone to who Private Messaged me for the Story, your questions have been answered there. Now, with those out of the way, here is the third Chapter, the start of a new Arc! Please be sure to review, rate, and as always, please be sure to enjoy!
Chapter 3: Ava Max: Fangs of Symphony
In Memory of Chadwick Boseman (November 22nd, 1976 – August 28th, 2020). Wakanda Forever.
Surviving Mirror World, Bloom helps Shinji Kido in regaining his confidence, and faced her inner demons in the form of her mirror self, the new Kamen Rider Ryuga. Returning to fight Double Dragon, the first Shokaijin, Bloom unlocks the first of the Raidarix Powers, and helps start a new Rider Battle where no one has to die. Now, the Winx are drawn to a new Rider Power for Stella, the powers of Kamen Rider Kiva, but are unaware of the challenges ahead for them.
As the Specialists' ship flew through the skies in Japan, Bloom was admiring a new bike. Looking to it, it resembled the Ride Shooters that Shinji and the other Kamen Riders had used, only it was more violet and red than other bikes. On the side of it was the symbol of the Winx. She smiled as she sat in it, with Sakura walking out of the mirror to join her.
"I can't believe this came with my new Raidarix Powers." Bloom said with a smile.
"Well, you did help Shinji a lot," Sakura said as the rest of the Winx started to admire the ride. "You remember how it went…"
Flashback…
"Thanks again, Shinji," Bloom said as Shinji, Ren and Tezuka stood outside of the Specialists' ship with the rest of the Winx, the Specialists and Woz. "Now that I've helped you, and seen for myself what it means to be a Kamen Rider, I know what to expect in the fights ahead. You be sure to keep up the good work in the real Rider Battle."
"We will," Shinji said before looking to a mirror, where Yui appeared. "In fact, I have something for you, something to go with your new powers."
Everyone looked to Yui before the new Ride Shooter revealed itself. Everyone looked to it with awe before Bloom walked up and sat in it.
"We use Ride Shooters to travel through Mirror World," Ren explained. "This one goes to you."
"It was unlocked once you transformed into a Raidarix Fairy," Yui went on. "Your Raidarix Shooter will always be available to you whenever you need it."
"You've earned it… Bloom-San." Shinji said, holding his hand out.
Bloom smiled and got up. Holding out her hand, the two shook.
"Keep up the good fight." Bloom said.
"As for you, Sakura," Yui said, walking up to a mirror. A light shone from her and flew to the mirror self of Bloom. "You shall now be able to roam freely in both the real and Mirror Worlds."
"Thank you." Sakura said.
Present…
"Man, I can't wait to get my own Raidarix Powers," Stella said as Sakura helped Bloom get out. "I'm sure I'll have something that can top your ride."
"We'll see, Stella," Aisha said before looking to Woz. "Woz, what can you tell us about this next Rider?" she asked. "Kiva, you said his name was?"
"Yes, Kamen Rider Kiva," Woz said as he opened his book. "A hybrid of a human father and Fangire mother, born circa 1987. His name is Kurenai Wataru. Secluded from the world for his powers, and living in the house of his father who everyone deemed to be a devil, he was a shy man who used a creature known as Kivat Bat III to become Kamen Rider Kiva."
"Wait, Fangires?" Tecna asked. "Are they like vampires in any way?"
"Oh, and I thought we had it bad with the Children of the Night." Musa said.
"Fangires are an ancient race, along with other creatures, some of which are allied with Kiva himself," Woz explained. "When Kurenai Wataru was not fighting Fangires as Kamen Rider Kiva, he would work on creating the perfect violin, since his father created the famous violin known as the Bloody Rose. Through his adventures, he was joined by Kamen Rider Ixa, known as Keisuke Nago, and eventually, his brother, Taiga Nobori, first as Kamen Rider Saga and then becoming Kamen Rider Dark Kiva."
"Lots of vampires, by the sound of things." Stella said.
"Their main enemies were a group of Fangires known as Checkmate Four, known as the King, Queen, Bishop and Rook," Woz continued. "Though they were eventually all wiped out, Bishop used enough life force to revive King, but both were defeated by the Riders. The last anyone heard of them was when they fought a force from the future known as the Neo Fangire. An alternate version of Wataru appeared to help Kamen Rider Decade on his first adventures, but the real Wataru would continue to be Kamen Rider Kiva."
"So unlike Shinji, Wataru is still an active Rider." Bloom said.
"What would we need to do in order to gain the Kiva Raidarix powers?" Roxy asked.
"That… I do not know," Woz said as he closed his book. "All I know is that like Ryuki and the other Mirror Riders, he operates here in Japan."
"Hey, Woz," Timmy called. "You said that Kiva mostly visits a café, right?"
"Yes," Woz said as he got up. "It is called Café mald'amour."
"Well, I'm getting nothing of that name from this place," Timmy said as he scanned the area. "Only café here is a place called Aroma."
"Hmm?"
The ship settled down, and everyone walked out. Seeing the café in front of them, the word Aroma was read instead of Café mald'amour. Woz took out his book and opened it, seeing the history of Kamen Rider Kiva.
"I suppose things have changed in the last couple years since Kurenai Wataru was still a Rider," Woz said. "This place was the location where Kiva and his allies would sometimes gather. It is also the cover of the Blue Sky Organization."
"How do you know that?"
Everyone turned to see a Japanese man with a woman, both wearing wedding rings on them, walking towards the group.
"Well, we're big people, we like to know what's going on," Flora said. "I'm sorry… who are you?"
"Keisuke Nago," the man said. "This is my wife, Megumi Aso."
"It is nice to meet you." Megumi said with a bow.
"A pleasure to meet you too," Stella said as she bowed back. "Believe it or not, we've heard things about what happened here twelve years ago."
"It is no secret," Nago said. "The Fangire. A race that had been feeding off of humans for as long as time could tell."
"And… you fought against them?" Roxy asked. "Does that mean… you know Kamen Rider Kiva?"
"I do," Nago said. "I am Kamen Rider Ixa. One of its many users."
"Please, we are trying to find a way to stop the threat of the Fangires from growing," Woz said. "Do you know the current whereabouts of Kurenai Wataru?"
Megumi smiled. "You are welcome to see him tomorrow night," she said. "He will be performing at the restaurant for our honeymoon."
"Oh, congratulations!" Flora said with a smile.
"But if you wish to see him early, we can give you his address," Megumi added on before taking out a paper. Writing on it, she handed it to the group. "You should find him at this house. It belonged to his father."
"But what is this about the Fangire Threat growing?" Nago asked with concern.
"There is an evil at work, one greater than the Fangires," Bloom said. "We need to get all the help we can to ensure that the history you had fighting them does not repeat itself."
"Come with me." Nago said, leading everyone away.
Watching from the distance was a man in a trench coat. He narrowed his eyes before removing a glove from his hand, showing a Knight Chess Piece with a twisted version of Kamen Rider Kiva's symbol on it. Veins the color of stained glass appeared over his face before he walked away.
"It must be troubling."
The man gasped and looked around, turning into a monster with hints that made him resemble a monstrous Phoenix. Aiming a large broadsword around, he found the cloaked Fairy floating behind him.
"Who are you?" the man asked, his human face showing in the glass texture of his chest.
"Who I am is not important, but you, I know who you are," the Dark Fairy said as she landed and walked over. "Knight, the last surviving member of Checkmate Four. I wonder why King and Bishop put you on the sidelines for years. Your power alone could destroy all four Riders with ease."
"Tell me what you want… now." The Phoenix Fangire demanded.
"I'm after a certain power, but with those newcomers in the way, they only delay my search," the Dark Fairy explained. "You have a strong form now, and even stronger back during the days of King. What if you could have ALL of the powers of Checkmate Four?"
"Go on…" the man said cautiously.
The Dark Fairy took out an orb. "This is what remains of King, Queen, Rook and Bishop," she explained. "I can evolve you… but only if you do me a favor."
"Name it."
"Eliminate those Fairies and bring me the powers of Kamen Rider Kiva."
The man nodded before stained glass appeared over his face once again. Becoming the Phoenix Fangire, he took the orb and absorbed it into his body, becoming a monstrous golden version of the Bat Fangire. A lion head was on his left shoulder with the wings of a Swallowtail on his back. His right shoulder held a Pearlshell while his Phoenix face molted into that of the Bat Fangire, with eyes similar to those of Another Kiva, only with a more colored texture to it, like stained glass of a church window. In his hands was now a crimson version of the Zanvat Sword, only sharper on all edges.
"You are now known… as Checkmate Fang." The Dark Fairy said with a dark chuckle.
"Fangires… we shall eliminate all humans," Checkmate Fang growled. "Starting with the Fairies."
With the Winx, Specialists and Woz, Nago and Megumi had guided inside of the café. There, they showed to them several pictures of the Neo Fangire, as well as showing off Kamen Riders Kiva, Ixa, Dark Kiva and even Neo Kiva, as well as the Arms Monsters, fighting against them.
"Neo Fangire," Nago said. "We have been fighting them for years since 2009. Kurenai Masao was the one who alerted their presence to us, and was the reason we all gathered together to fight against these new Fangires."
"But he's not Kiva, is he?" Bloom asked.
"He calls himself Neo Kiva," Megumi went on as she showed everyone more pictures, either members of the Blue Sky Organization or the Riders as they were back in 2009. "While he remains here to help us fight this threat, Wataru is the one who is fighting to be the king, the one who will eventually end up ruling over this new race and lead them into a new age."
"And what about this other Kiva?" Brandon asked, picking up a picture of Kamen Rider Dark Kiva.
"Taiga Noboru, Kamen Rider Saga," Nago said. "Now, he is Kamen Rider Dark Kiva. An ally to us, and the brother of Wataru."
"How do we find Wataru?" Stella asked. "He holds a power that can help in both stopping the Neo Fangire and with us as well."
"Well, when we first defeated the Neo Fangire, they ceased their attacks briefly, going into hiding like the original Fangire race did," Nago said. "I know his home. I can take you there."
"Thank you," Woz said. "This is very much appreciated."
From one of the support beams above, a bat-like creature watched over everyone.
"Oh. They need the power of Kiva?" the bat asked. "Wataru… I see you will need to put this one to the test."
"Oh, that reminds me," Woz said as he looked to the Winx. "The moment before you start to go after the Neo Fangire, I have something that will help you on every quest for the Raidarix Powers, regardless of whether or not you have any powers yet."
"What is it?" Tecna asked.
"You will see," Woz simply said as everyone headed out the door. "You will see."
As everyone was walking to the home of Wataru Kurenai, the bat creature flew over them. As it did, Bloom looked around before opening up her compact. Looking to the mirror inside, Sakura appeared in the same position as her.
"What's going on, Bloom?" Sakura asked.
"I hope you don't mind," Bloom said. "But, when we get back to Alfea, since we've decided to head back for a break after gaining the powers of Kiva, I think it would be best if you met Headmistress Faragonda," she suggested. "You might not be a Fairy, but I'm sure they'd be happy to meet you."
"I'll see what I can do," Sakura said with a slight smile. "But what about your search? Have you run into anything unusual yet?" she asked.
"Nothing yet," Bloom replied as she looked around, unaware that Checkmate Fang was watching. "But if we need any help, you'll be there, right?"
"You got it," Sakura confirmed, nodding in response. "Besides, you might even find the one who created Double Dragon and those counterfeit Riders."
"It would help to know who's against us in finding the Raidarix Powers," Bloom said before noticing that everyone had stopped in front of a house. "Talk to you later." She said before closing her compact and joining her friends.
Megumi pressed the doorbell. "Wataru, are you home?" she called. "I know that it's been a while, but there are some people here to see you. They say you can help them with something, and us in defeating the Neo Fangire."
At that moment, a Japanese girl walked out. "Sorry, he was busy talking with Taiga," she apologized. "I let him know, and he'll be out shortly."
"Arigatou." Nago thanked.
"Um… who are you?" Riven asked.
"I am Shizuka Nomura," the girl introduced herself upon noticing the group of friends. "I am Wataru's friend and, um…" she stopped herself upon realizing something. After a while, she turned back. "Am very close to him."
"Now that Maya has been found, you can't really say you're his mother figure anymore." Nago mused.
"I've been trying to adjust," Shizuka said before seeing Kivat fly down. "Oh… it's Kivat."
"Kivat?" Stella repeated as Kivat flew into the house.
From the window, a man was watching the group with great interest. As he was, Kivat Bat III flew to him.
"Wataru, you were right," Kivat Bat III said. "They have arrived, and it seems that they are indeed looking to gain the Raidarix powers."
"Yeah, I know," Wataru said as he looked to Stella. "I can already see the one."
"You know it would be meaningless to just hand it to her." Kivat reminded him.
"She has to know what it takes," Wataru said as he looked to the violin known as the Bloody Rose in its glass case within the wall. He then glanced at another violin next to it. "She has to know… to understand Kiva."
All of a sudden, the Bloody Rose started to play. Wataru looked to it in surprise, knowing what it meant when it started to play by itself.
Outside, several bats suddenly flew in.
"Look out!" Aisha called out as she and everyone else got out of the way. As they were, Wataru ran out, and saw the bats form into Checkmate Fang.
"You!" Checkmate Fang yelled. "You, the pseudo king of Fangires, and the Fairies who seek to claim the powers of Raidarix! Know that I will not allow any of you to breathe any further!"
"Wataru… do you know him?" Shizuka asked.
"No," Wataru replied as Stella looked to him, finally seeing the man who was Kamen Rider Kiva. "I've never seen him before. But I know the look of Checkmate Four when I see it."
"You're Kiva," Stella spoke up, breaking out of her trance as Wataru turned to her. "I… I'm honored to finally meet you."
"I see you're trying to earn the Raidarix," Kivat said as he flew down. "We knew this would come one day."
"Whoa!" Roxy exclaimed in surprise. "You can talk?!"
"I am Kivat Bat III," Kivat introduced himself as he flew to the Winx. "And Wataru and I are fully aware of the Raidarix power that you seek."
"But for now, we should focus on the new Fangire," Bloom said. "So let's go!" she announced as she held out her Raidarix Deck.
"Ready, girls?" Stella asked as she took the lead of the rest of the Winx.
"I'm getting in too." Nago said as he took out his signature Ixa Knuckle.
"Magic Winx! Raidarix: Ryuki!" Bloom called out as her V-Buckle magically appeared over her waist. She slid it in as a light engulfed her.
"Bloom, Fairy of the Dragon Flame!"
Bloom flew forward with Dragreder flying beside her. Spreading her arms out, two fiery rings emerged from her body and spun around her. Dragreder flew into her as millions of reflections of her appeared all around. All imposing onto the real Bloom, she gained her armor before she thrust her arms forward. The Drag Visor appeared over her left arm before moving her poised hands to the left, causing her Ryuki tiara to appear. As soon she entered her final pose, the finishing pose of Kamen Rider Ryuki, she gained her wings.
"Magix Winx: Cosmix!" Stella called as the rest of the Winx Club stood ready.
"Magix Winx: Believix!" Roxy called as she started to glow.
Kivat flew to Wataru, who grabbed him and held him to his free arm.
GABU!
Kivat bit onto Wataru, allowing his stained-glass veins to appear over his face. As soon as they did, his belt appeared over his waist.
Nago spun around the Ixa Knuckle and pounded it into his palm.
RE-ADY!
"HENSHIN!" Wataru and Nago both called out, placing their respective devices onto their belts.
FI-IST ON!
As soon as Kivat was placed onto his perch of Wataru's belt and the Ixa Knuckle onto Nago's Belt, the two transformed into Kamen Riders Kiva and Ixa respectively, chains breaking off from Wataru while a bright light burst from Nago, his cross visor opening to reveal blue eyes.
"Stella, Fairy of the Sun and the Moon!"
"Musa, Fairy of Music!"
"Flora, Fairy of Nature!"
"Tecna, Fairy of Technology!"
"Aisha, Fairy of Waves!"
"Roxy, Fairy of Animals!"
"Checkmate Four will not be intimidated by you." Checkmate Fang snarled as he took out his sword.
"Raidarix RyukiSaber!" Bloom called out, launching Dragreder out. As soon as it was launched, it attacked Checkmate Fang first before flying back as the Raidarix RyukiSaber in Bloom's hand.
"Scepter of Solaria!" Stella called out as her ring turned into her own signature weapon.
"Woz, make sure that Megumi and Shizuka are safe," Bloom ordered Woz, who had not even taken out the Beyondriver. "Same with you and the Specialists, Sky. They'll need some protection."
"I'll leave the rest to you, Nago-Kun," Megumi said. "I wouldn't want to make this an unfair fight… for the Fangire, at least."
"So proud, so cocksure," Checkmate Fang said as he swung his sword down. "I wonder how much longer you can keep it up." He quipped before flying at the Winx and the Riders.
Bloom flew at Checkmate Fang, clashing immediately with him with her Raidarix RyukiSaber. As they tried to gain momentum over one another, Nago ran in and punched him in the chest. As he recovered, Wataru leapt and kicked him away before Stella blasted him with her scepter.
Checkmate Fang snarled before the symbol of Kiva appeared underneath him, only showing the Knight Chess Piece in the center of it.
"Knight?!" Kivat exclaimed.
"We missed a piece!" Wataru exclaimed in shock.
Wataru formed his own symbol as the two sent them out. Both collided and created an explosion as the rest of the Winx flew above them.
"Sonic Shake!" Musa called out, sending a Cosmix blast at Checkmate Fang.
"Solar Wave!" Aisha called out, sending forth a stream of water.
Checkmate Fang slashed up, creating a sonic slash that canceled out both attacks.
"He's strong, I'll give him that." Musa noted.
"Let's test his limits!" Roxy called out as she held out her hand. "Fortunately, I held onto this." She said before the Gold Saber she stole from her fight with Kamen Rider Odin appeared in her hand. With it, she charged at Checkmate Fang and clashed with him head on, but he caused flames to appear from his sword.
"I remember Father mentioning him!" Kivat exclaimed. "The Phoenix Fangire!"
"A Fangire we missed… huh." Wataru mused.
Roxy broke off before the flames could reach her. As she stood ready with her sword, Checkmate Fang sent forth several blasts, all of which she was forced to deflect before they started to reach Tecna and Flora.
"Leaf Barrier!" Flora called out, summoning sparkling leaves in front of her.
"Particle Net!" Tecna called out, creating her Particle Net.
Both shields absorbed the blasts before they started to head to Bloom and Stella.
"Wataru, let's go!" Kivat called out.
"Yeah!" Wataru exclaimed as he took out his green Fuestle. He twisted it before placing it in Kivat's mouth.
BASSHA MAGNUM!
As the tune was sent out, a tower with a dragon, known as Castle Doran, started to glow. Inside, three men were playing poker until they heard the tune.
"It's time for me to go." A boy in a sailor uniform said before he glowed green and turned into Bassha, flying up out of the Castle.
The Bassha Magnum flew out and into Wataru's right hand. As it spun around and opened up, his armor turned green with a watery texture to it. Soon, he was in his Bassha form, and opened fire on Checkmate Fang, sending him back.
Wataru continued to fire as Nago took out the Ixacalibur. Placing it in Gun Mode by pushing the blade down, he fired alongside Wataru, forcing Checkmate Fang back.
From above, the Dark Fairy floated, watching the battle unfold as Roxy and Checkmate Fang clashed swords again.
"They're getting stronger," the Dark Fairy said. "This might become a problem if something isn't done soon."
Roxy flew back as Bloom flew over her. "Fire Ring!" she called out, sending Ryuki's symbol flashing down.
Checkmate Fang looked up and slashed apart the symbol. However, it split into several flames, surrounding him and turning into smaller versions of Dragreder. Soon, they all launched at him, dealing significant damage before Stella flew in, ramming her Scepter of Solaria onto him.
"You're going down right here, Ugly!" Stella yelled as she started to glow.
"That spirit…" Wataru said as he and Nago watched, Kivat taking a keen interest in the Fairy of the Sun and the Moon.
"Solar Barrier!" Stella called out, protecting herself as she spun around her scepter quickly. Soon, it turned into a sunny shield.
"Droste Trap!" Bloom called out, causing several mirrors to appear from the ground.
The mirrors started to surround Checkmate Fang as the attacks headed in one of them. They appeared out another and were sent back at him before the same attack came from another mirror and hit him again. The process started to repeat, with different mirrors receiving the attack and other different mirrors sending them at Checkmate Fang, stuck in the center of them all.
"Reflective Kick!" Bloom called out as a fiery mirror appeared before her. She flew through and flipped, getting into a kicking position as soon as she entered.
"This is it!" Stella exclaimed as she floated down next to Wataru.
Checkmate Fang groaned as he staggered back, the mirrors surrounding him starting to fade away. Only one remained in front of him, which soon transformed into Bloom's Dragon with the Dragreder armor on it. Bloom flew out of it as it flew next to her, all while preparing to land her kick on him.
All of a sudden, a black streak flew in, knocking Bloom off-course. She gasped as she was forced to kick the ground, creating a flaming symbol of Ryuki. She got up and turned around, seeing the Dark Fairy standing with her sword in hand.
"Huh?" Megumi asked.
"Who's that?" Aisha asked.
The Dark Fairy cracked her neck and looked to Bloom, her eyes glowing bright gold.
"Who are you?" Bloom asked. "What do you want?"
"So many questions," the Dark Fairy remarked. "You can call me… the Dark Fairy, creator of all Shokaijin."
"So… Sakura was right," Bloom said as her dragon flew to her, forming the Raidarix RyukiSaber once again. "Someone was behind the creation of Double Dragon."
"Kenzaki Shiro was a valuable asset… but a liability in the end," the Dark Fairy said as Bloom stood ready for an attack. "I applaud you for making it this far, but know that not all the Raidarix Powers will be yours."
"What good are the powers of a Kamen Rider to you?" Bloom asked as she readies the Raidarix RyukiSaber. "No Rider would ever hand over their Raidarix powers to you."
"Oh, please. I originated from the Riders," the Dark Fairy remarked, getting everyone's eyes to widen while Woz gaped in surprise. "And besides, I am not looking for their permission," the Dark Fairy remarked. "But enough talk. By my blade, I shall ensure you never gain the powers of Kiva!" she proclaimed before charging towards Bloom.
Bloom gasped as the Dark Fairy raised her sword into the air. "Sword of Shocker!" she called as she slammed down.
"Dragon Shields!" Bloom called out, summoning a Drag Shield from the Raidarix RyukiSaber. She held it up and blocked the attack before slashing back, but the Dark Fairy was able to parry off each attack before kicking her away.
"Bloom-San!" Woz called out.
"Get her, Bloom!" Sky called out.
Bloom gasped as she flew through the air, and gasped even more at seeing the demonic wings of the Dark Fairy. As she flew up to strike, Bloom struck back with her own weapon before landing on the ground and removing the Drag Claw from the bottom of the Raidarix RyukiSaber. Placing the sword in her left hand, the Drag Claw appeared over her right before she pulled her hand back.
"Raidarix Flame!" Bloom called out, sending forth a blast of her Dragon Flame towards the Dark Fairy.
The Dark Fairy spun around in the air and landed on the ground, where Bloom knocked the pommel of her sword against her Deck. A Card flew out before it landed in her visor, which she closed while still keeping the Drag Claw.
COPY VENT!
As soon as the Dark Fairy landed, five clones of Bloom attacked her. The Dark Fairy clashed with each one of them before the real Bloom flew in and sent forth another fire stream, her clones doing the same. The Dark Fairy slid her hand across the blade of her Sword of Shocker and sent forth a sonic wave, destroying the clones, but the real Bloom was gone.
"Impressive," the Dark Fairy said before placing her sword behind her back, where Bloom appeared with her Raidarix RyukiSaber intact once again. "But it will not save you."
"Dragreder Launch!" Bloom called out, causing Dragreder to fly from the Raidarix RyukiSaber and send the Dark Fairy back.
The Dark Fairy grunted as she was pushed back, but flew at Bloom as she flew back. The two struck each other at once before landing again, facing opposite to one another. Without waiting, they turned around and blasted at each other, creating an explosion midway.
Everyone held their breaths, waiting for the smoke to clear. When it did, Bloom was still on the ground, but the Dark Fairy was in midair, with Checkmate Fang floating next to her.
"Remember… you won't always win." The Dark Fairy spat before flying away, with Checkmate Fang behind her.
Bloom panted and fell to her knees, reverting back to herself.
Wataru and Nago looked to each other before they reverted out of their Rider forms as well. The rest of the Winx reverted at the same time before Wataru stepped up.
"How about we all come inside?" Wataru suggested.
"Good," Bloom panted as Sky walked over to help her up. "There is a lot we need to talk about."
Inside of Wataru's house, everyone was being served a cup of tea. As they were, Flora was busy making an herbal potion for Bloom, currently emptying her boot of dirt.
"This should help," Flora said as she gave Bloom an elixir bottle. "You looked like you got it pretty rough out there."
"Thanks," Bloom said. She put her boot back on and drank some of the elixir. As she was, she thought back to her battle. "The Dark Fairy…" she said out loud as Woz and Sky walked up to her. "We've fought witches, a Phoenix, five wizards, a water monster, a demon from a book and beasts, but never a Fairy. Especially one who has wings of those kind." She mused, thinking back to the demonic wings the Dark Fairy had as well.
"And… what did she mean when she said she originated from the Riders?" Roxy asked.
"I'm not sure," Woz said. "There has never been a Fairy who has assisted or fought the Kamen Riders before. There is nothing of one in my books either."
"We'd better tell Miss Faragonda about this," Bloom said. "Maybe she has an idea of this new Fairy."
"Maybe it's Selina?" Flora suggested.
"No, she stopped being a witch and went back to training under Eldora," Bloom recalled. "This Dark Fairy… she seems to be something new entirely. All the more reason we let Headmistress Faragonda." She stated as Wataru cleared his throat.
"So that's Wataru…" Stella said as Brandon sat beside her. "We found Shinji to be against his Rider Experience. What does Wataru have?"
"Well, let's find out." Brandon said as Wataru walked over.
"I think you all know by the battle," Wataru said. "I am Kamen Rider Kiva, King of the Fangire Race."
"Yes," Woz said as he started to recall a time he, Sougo and Geiz sought out the Ridewatch of Kiva in his earlier travels. "You claim you know what it is we want?"
"Yes," Wataru replied. "I know about the Raidarix, and I can grant it," he said as he walked towards the Winx, Bloom now turning her attention back to him. "Which one of you have been chosen for my powers?" he asked.
Everyone turned to Stella as she sat up. Remembering Japanese custom, she bowed down lightly. "My name is Stella, Fairy of the Sun and the Moon," she introduced herself. "We're still new to the Raidarix Powers, but I was hoping, if you could… well… show me what it takes to use your powers."
"Yes," Woz agreed as he stepped up. "And if that Dark Fairy, as she called herself, is involved, like she was in the search for the powers of Kamen Rider Ryuki, we will need your powers to defeat this new Shokaijin."
"Shokaijin?" Nago asked.
"Monsters created from the history of the respective Kamen Riders," Tecna explained, recalling what Woz told the Winx and the Specialists about them. "Conceived from the history of Kamen Rider Ryuki was a Shokaijin with the unnatural ability to regenerate deceased Riders and travel through mirrors. It seems that this Shokaijin is likely able to use Fangire Powers, and could possibly be based on one of your Fangire enemies."
"Checkmate Four," Kivat said. "They consisted of King, Queen, Bishop and Rook. I never knew about Knight until today."
"Part of him doesn't look like he's supposed to be a mash of all of Checkmate Four," Bloom recalled. "There's a bit of flame in him… almost like he was a Dragon Fangire or a Phoenix Fangire before."
"So, this Dark Fairy is able to give new powers to the Kaijin already existing with their own?" Megumi asked. "I didn't think this would be such a problem for us, to be honest."
"Which is why we need you to give us the power of Kiva," Stella pleaded. "Please… help us."
Wataru looked to Stella with a serious look on his face. As he was, Kivat flew over the two.
"Oh… I know that look," Kivat said. "Maya told me all about it."
Everyone waited for what Wataru would say. After a while, a smile came onto his face.
"I will teach you how to gain my power," Wataru said as he walked over, getting everyone to smile as he placed a hand on Stella's shoulder. "But… there is something we must do first in order for you to attain it."
"What is it?" Stella asked.
"I will need your absolute devotion to what I have to teach you," Wataru said. "Since you will be the one to inherit the Raidarix powers of Kiva, our sessions will just be the two of us alone," he said before noticing Brandon get up. "I'm not her age," he reassured, getting him to sit back down before turning back to Stella again. "And, whatever we do, you cannot use any of your magic," he added on. "Otherwise, I cannot give you the powers of Kiva," he said, surprising Stella and the others. "Do we have a deal?"
"What's he playing at?" Aisha asked. "This isn't time for other matters."
"Maybe it's his thing," Musa guessed. "I mean, Woz did say he had started to grow a backbone in 2009. A lot can happen in over ten years to a person."
"Well, as long as he keeps Stella safe, I'm okay." Brandon said.
After a while, with everyone else talking behind her, Stella spoke up. "I accept," she said as she removed her Ring of Solaria. She walked towards Bloom and opened up her hand. "Remember that day when I entrusted this to you? I need you to look after it again, since I'm not gonna be using any magic." She said.
Bloom nodded. "Okay," she said as she put the Ring of Solaria away. "You can count on me. No need to worry."
"That's what I like to hear," Stella said before looking back to Wataru. "So, where do we begin?"
"As I said, it has to be just the two of us," Wataru said before he looked to Nago. "Nago-Kun, can you take the rest of the Winx and their friends to Taiga Nii-San?" he requested. "We could use his help, and he could use ours, since Masao is with him."
"Of course," Nago said while also realizing what it meant now that Masao was with Taiga. He got up and turned to everyone. "Let's get going."
"Keep her safe, Wataru!" Brandon called out.
"We'll be checking in every now and then!" Musa called before everyone followed Nago out of the house.
Stella smiled before looking over to Kivat as he suddenly flew over.
"What's going on, little guy?" Stella asked.
"How much do you know about Wataru?" Kivat asked.
"Just stuff from what Woz told me and the rest of the Winx," Stella replied with a shrug. "Like I said, we're still new to this."
"You should know, then, that the Kurenai family has a unique way of doing things," Kivat said. "Be ready for anything Wataru wants you to do."
"Um… okay, thanks," Stella said before walking up the steps. She looked around to the many violin parts hanging or lying around, as well as two violins in glass cases on the wall. "Amazing!" she awed as she looked to the Bloody Rose.
"In order to gain the powers of Kiva…" Wataru said as he walked over to Stella, taking the other violin out of its case. "You need to have something only the true Masters of Kiva can use… a rhythm from the heart."
"That sounds more like Musa's department." Stella noted.
"I spent a year trying to perfect my violin, trying to copy off of how my father once made his own," Wataru said as he looked to the Bloody Rose. As he did, he started to play his violin, getting Stella to listen carefully. "It is the individual who makes the violin special, nothing more," he said before finishing his performance. He looked to Stella as her eyes closed, taking in the song. "What I want you to do is create a violin from scratch, as I once did," he instructed. "It may take you days, or weeks, but the finished result must be special to you and you alone."
"Wait… getting the powers of Kiva… involves making a violin?" Stella asked. "Well, I'm more of a guitarist…"
"So was my friend, Kengo," Wataru said. "But trust me when I say this. Creating a violin of your own will help you not only to learn more about the powers of Kiva, but to learn more about yourself," he said before laying out the necessary tools needed to make a violin. "Feel free to use whatever is here, but if you feel there is something from somewhere you can use, feel free to do so. Only then… will the powers of Kiva be bestowed upon you."
Stella nodded. "I understand," she said as she looked around. "But first… do you think you could guide me on how the process is done? I don't want to make a ukulele by mistake."
"Of course," Wataru said as he started to guide Stella, using other carved pieces to help her understand the violin-making process. "It goes something like this…"
Elsewhere, at Castle Doran, Jiro, Ramón and Riki were playing poker once again. As they were, a new Kivat was watching from afar. Jiro eyed the new Kivat as it floated before laying down a Card to get a new one.
"He's at it again," Jiro said. "I wish Masao gave us more warning about his presence here."
"Well, if he's here, I'm betting there's a good reason for him suddenly acting up now," Ramón said. "Even Wataru seemed to be aware of what bringing that new Kivat meant."
"Royal flush," Riki said, placing down his cards. "We know it too. We just need to be patient."
"Patience…" Jiro said with a chuckle, showing five aces as Ramón put down two queens, two kings and an ace. "We'll need it to win against that Checkmate Fang."
The new Kivat chuckled giddily and flew around. It landed on a perch, next to a picture of Wataru as Kiva Emperor with Ixa Rising, Dark Kiva and New Kiva. However, with them was a gold and silver Fuestle.
At a conference room, Taiga Nobori was meeting with his company. Sitting on a chair on the far side was Masao, who struck an uncanny resemblance to Otoya Kurenai.
"The board has found the alternate solutions to thriving to be quite… favorable," a man said. "By studying the Neo Fangire, we have been able to create newer sources of living. Your desire to change the Fangires has worked wonders, Chairman Nobori."
"Excellent," Taiga said. "If you would turn your pages, you will find that we have been granted a new funding, one that will ensure our company thrives enough to see the survival of the Fangires, present and future," he said. "Please look over these until our next meeting. Good day to you all."
The board members nodded as they bookmarked their folders. Filing out one by one, Masao and Taiga were the only ones left.
"Your work is coming a long way, Uncle." Masao said.
"It is thanks to you that we are able to thrive," Taiga said. "And that we have been able to hold off the Neo Fangire as well."
At that moment, Nago walked into the room. Masao and Taiga looked to him before Megumi and Shizuka entered as well.
"Nago," Taiga said. "It's been a while."
"Yes, it has," Nago said before the Winx and the Specialists, with Woz, entered as well. "I apologize for the sudden intrusion, but a new threat has come up, and we require your assistance again."
Kivat Bat II flew down, as well as Kivat Bat IV and Sagarc.
"Maya mentioned this event," Kivat Bat II said. "She saw it in her visions. The time has come."
"Whoa, two more," Bloom said. "Let me guess, one of you allows for Dark Kiva, and the other for Neo Kiva?" she asked.
"I am Kivat Bat II," Kivat bat II said. "I served the first King as Dark Kiva. Now, I serve Taiga."
Sagarc flew over and whirred, his only way of communication.
"Yes, it does seem that way," Taiga said. He noticed the confused looks on the faces of the Winx Club and the Specialists before walking up to them. "Forgive me. I am the only one who is able to understand the language that Sagarc uses. And he is saying that you seek the powers of Kiva's Raidarix from Wataru for an urgent situation."
"Yes, we are," Aisha said. "Our friend, Stella, was drawn to his power."
"Then hope she is able to master it," Kivat Bat IV said as Masao walked over. "Now… what's going on?"
"The remnants of Checkmate Four have had their powers placed into one Fangire, the Knight," Woz said. "He attacked us earlier, but I fear that that was only a warning of the power he holds."
"He could be gathering the Neo Fangire to help him," Masao said. "At least I know why the Phoenix Fangire was a Checkmate Four member in my time."
"Your time?" Roxy asked.
"Oh, yes," Masao said. "I am Kurenai Masao. I come from the future as the son of Wataru. I am the New Kiva."
"As the former leader of Checkmate Four, I know what to expect from this new force," Taiga told everyone. "Where is Wataru now?"
"With Stella, going through some kind of training so she can prove herself worthy of the Raidarix Powers of Kiva," Bloom said. "Right now, we're all you have to help fight Checkmate Fang… and the Dark Fairy."
"I see," Taiga said before looking to Nago. "We may not have always been on the best of terms, but now that Checkmate Four is back, we will need to work together again."
"Agreed," Nago said before looking to Tecna. "You might want to make that call you were talking about."
"Of course," Tecna agreed with a nod. She took out her laptop and placed it on the table. "Just gotta set up first… and…" she started out as she typed away.
Soon, Headmistress Faragonda appeared. All of the Winx gathered with the Specialists behind them as Woz calmly walked to join in. He used his scarf to turn on the projector, allowing for the Headmistress of Alfea to see them all clearly.
"Hello, girls," Headmistress Faragonda said. "I hear you have been making progress in the search for Raidarix powers."
"We already have one," Bloom said as she showed off the shining symbol of Kamen Rider Ryuki on her jacket. "I gained the Ryuki Raidarix."
"That's wonderful news," Headmistress Faragonda said with a smile. "Where is Stella?" she asked upon noticing that one of the Winx was missing.
"Currently gaining the next Raidarix powers from Kurenai Wataru, Kamen Rider Kiva," Woz said. "But… there is something you should know."
"What is it?" Headmistress Faragonda asked, sounding concerned now that new news was being brought up.
"We found out who is behind the Shokaijin attacks," Bloom said as she used her magic to pull up the battle against the Dark Fairy from earlier. "We're facing an actual Fairy this time. She calls herself the Dark Fairy."
"Most troubling." Headmistress Faragonda said with surprise in her voice.
"We need to know, have any Fairies from the Magix Dimension taken a wrong path?" Tecna asked. "We're not counting Selina due to her turn back to the light, but this is urgent stuff we need to know."
"None that I know of," Headmistress Faragonda replied. "But now that I know there is a Fairy opposing you, and trying to gain the Raidarix Powers, I will look into the Fairies to see who could be your mystery villain."
"Thank you, Headmistress," Bloom said. "Oh, and I wanted to know, could you enroll a student when we get back?" she asked, getting the attention of the Headmistress of Alfea. "I'll explain more when you meet her in person, but for now, we plan to get one more Raidarix, then come back to Alfea for a break from the search."
"Of course, Bloom," Headmistress Faragonda replied. "Just be safe. I know each of your journeys can be dangerous, so please, come back safely."
"You can count on the Specialists to help too." Sky reassured.
"Very good," Headmistress Faragonda said. "I hope to see you all soon." She said before signing off.
"Now that that's taken care of, I think we should try to find out where Checkmate Fang will try to strike next." Megumi said.
"Yeah," Roxy said. "There's no telling where he could strike, or what he'll do to stop us from getting the Raidarix powers."
"Oh, by the way, Shinji and I wanted you to have this, Sky," Bloom said. She took out the sword she and Shinji stole from Double Dragon and handed it to him. "A bit different from your usual sword, but we figured you could have it now that I have my Raidarix powers."
"Thanks," Sky said as he weighed the sword around. "Gonna need a scabbard for this, though." He said before eventually placing it on his belt.
"And another thing," Woz said as he opened up his book. "I need you all to come and meet me outside."
The Winx looked to each other before they followed Woz.
Outside, Woz flipped through the pages of his book until he came across a certain page. He spread his arm out, and seven bikes appeared. They each sported different colors, each matching the colors of the Winx Club.
"Whoa, sweet rides!" Aisha exclaimed.
"What's all this?" Bloom asked, feeling the seat of a bike with her colors on it. Immediately upon touching it, it started to glow, with her jacket glowing as well.
"New bikes. Whether or not you have Raidarix Powers, these Bikes will be free for you to summon. They are Raidarix Bikes," Woz explained as Taiga, Nago and Masao looked on, impressed. "Each one will transform into the Rider Machines of your gained Raidarix Powers, and can be summoned at will no matter where you are."
"Sweet," Aisha said as she found a bike with her colors. The moment she touched it, like Bloom, her jacket and the Raidarix Bike both glowed. "I can't wait to see the look on Stella's face when she earns her bike."
The rest of the Winx Club giggled as they found their own bikes. Their jackets glowed as soon as they found their respective rides, and soon, the symbol of the Winx appeared on each of the sides of the bikes.
"I can live with this." Flora said.
"Let's just hope Stella's holding up okay." Musa said, chuckling.
Back at Wataru's house, Wataru had just finished creating a violin. Stella, who was taking notes, put down her notepad once Wataru showed her the right steps.
"Now that you know what to do, I hope you can craft a violin of your own," Wataru said. "I don't want there to be too many distractions. I will help to deal with any problems that Checkmate Fang might bring up. For now, let the violin be your priority."
"I will be sure to make it a pride of my work," Stella reassured. "No need to worry."
"Good," Wataru said. "Now, choose your equipment wisely. This may take days or longer, so I want you to be careful and take your time." He advised.
At the same time, Checkmate Fang was in a church, with the Dark Fairy using her magic to heal his injuries.
"A run-in with both the Kamen Riders and the Fairies was irrational," Checkmate Fang said as he reverted back to his pseudo human disguise. "I should have been told how powerful they were before I charged in."
"Trust me, their power over the Raidarix of Ryuki was a surprise to be too," the Dark Fairy said before her hands stopped glowing. As soon as they did, flames appeared. "Not yet, too soon…" she said to herself before they disappeared. As soon as they did, she looked back to him. "It seems, like with my last… ally… that you will need some help in fighting the Winx."
"What did you have in mind?" Checkmate Fang asked.
The Dark Fairy turned to the stained glass around her and fired a spell. The spell hit the glass only, causing life energy to enter into Checkmate Fang. Soon, something appeared over his left arm, resembling Tatsulot, but with a metallic red color to it instead of gold, and with sharper edges.
"Consider this your edge."
Back at Wataru's house, Stella was busy carving out some frameworks for her violin. Looking to the two violins in the glass cases, she smiled as she wiped some sweat off of her forehead.
"Okay, I'm here, trying to make a violin," Stella said as she went back to work, placing the two carved wood frameworks on the table to sand. "Not allowed to use magic, or even leave if Checkmate Fang or the Dark Fairy attacks again. Guess I'd better make the most of my time." She said to herself.
Suddenly, the Bloody Rose played by itself. Stella gasped and turned to it while Wataru ran to it as well.
"Wataru, I think it's Checkmate Fang again!" Kivat exclaimed.
"Okay, this is bad," Stella said as she momentarily put her tools down. "We know how powerful he is. We've gotta help the girls and the guys before he does more damage than he's already done!"
"I will take care of this," Wataru said as Kivat flew to him. "Remember what I told you, and stay here. Only when your Soul is within the violin can you gain my powers."
"That's it?" Stella asked. "I'm not gonna be a part of it this time?"
"What you're doing is important. Not every crisis is solved with a fight," Wataru advised. "Please… stay here. I will go in your place." He said before running out of the house.
Stella sighed. "Well, it was worth a shot," she said as she went back to sanding the wood. However, as she was, some dust flew into her face. She gasped and coughed, trying to get it out of her systems. Reaching for a towel nearby, she wiped her face. She blinked a few times before looking back to her pieces. "Still intact," she said with relief. "Gotta be more careful. I don't know what could happen." She said before going back to work.
Meanwhile, with the Winx, the Specialists, Taiga, Masao, Nago, Megumi and Shizuka, Woz was talking with Masao.
"I had heard about you, Kamen Rider Neo Kiva," Woz said. "How is it you were unaffected by the changes made when the Time Jackers created Another Kiva in 2009?"
"Since I come from early in the future, I was somewhat unaffected by the time changes," Masao explained. "Because I was out of my original timeline, I was still able to retain my memories. Even now, when your overlord, Zi-O, reset time, as you claim, I am still able to remember those events."
"I see," Woz said as he looked to a blank Ridewatch. "Taking your time, age, and story, I would have to estimate your original timeline to be somewhere around… 2039, twenty-nine years before the original rise of Ohma Zi-O."
"I know what happened there," Masao said. "And while I don't talk about it, I don't take what happened lightly either," he said. "I'm still trying to find a way to end the Neo Fangire threat here."
Nago looked to Brandon and walked up to him. "You're worried about Stella, aren't you?" he asked.
"Yeah," Brandon admitted. "I mean, we've had a couple disagreements over the years, and I always seem to spoil her. I want to try to do something to show I will always be there for her without having to give away too much."
"Take it from one who always put the mission before anything else," Nago said as he turned to his wife talking with Shizuka. "It takes time for a relationship to take effect. You have to know exactly when the right moment is, and how to act during that window. You may never get another chance to act otherwise."
"Thanks," Brandon said. "That means a lot."
The Raidarix Bikes started to blink, causing the Winx Club to gasp. Everyone stopped what they were doing and turned to them.
"Um, what's going on?" Aisha asked.
"Looks like some sort of alert system," Tecna theorized. "I'm guessing it's telling us where Checkmate Fang is attacking next."
"Well, Double Dragon just went after me with his fake Riders," Bloom said as she mounted her bike. "I guess it's time we all had a piece of the action this time."
"I have spotted this Checkmate Fang you spoke of," Kivat Bat II said as he flew over. "Near the lake."
"Let's get a move on," Bloom said as she put on a helmet that manifested magically into her hands. It had the Winx symbol in her color, as well as the symbol of Kamen Rider Ryuki. "I can get there faster through Mirror World."
"Come on, Winx!" Roxy called out as her helmet manifested into her own hands as she put it on her head. "Let's ride!"
Woz grinned before clicking a Miridewatch. It turned into a bike, and he rode off with the Winx as the rest of the Riders ran to get their own Rider Machines ready.
"Magic Winx: Raidarix! Ryuki!" Bloom called as she rode through a mirror. As soon as she did, two fiery rings appeared around her and circled, transforming her. Her bike transformed into her Raidarix Shooter, allowing her to ride faster through Mirror World as her Dragon and Dragreder flew above her.
At the lake, Checkmate Fang had arrived. Looking to several broken glass shards, he let out a roar before using his new device to blast them. As he finished, Bloom appeared from the water and rammed the Raidarix Shooter into him. She skidded around and slammed at him again just as the rest of the Winx started to arrive.
"Magic Winx: Believix!" Roxy called out, as she started to glow mid-ride.
"Magic Winx: Cosmix!" Musa called, taking the lead for the rest of the Winx as they transformed.
"Roxy, Fairy of Animals!"
"Musa, Fairy of Music!"
"Flora, Fairy of Nature!"
"Tecna, Fairy of Technology!"
"Aisha, Fairy of Waves!"
Woz rode in from the air and landed as well, with the Specialists arriving in their ship. Checkmate Fang looked around as everyone got off, Woz clicking his Miridewatch.
"Henshin." Woz announced before placing his watch onto the active Beyondriver.
TOEI! FUTURE TIME! JIDAI! MIRAI! KAMEN RIDER WOZ! WOZ!
Now as Kamen Rider Woz, his eyes glowed with the rest of the Winx Club. Nago arrived on his Ixalion while Taiga simply walked in. Masao arrived on a new version of the Machine Kiva as their respective Kivat Bats flew towards them.
"Alone again," Bloom said. "You should have brought backup."
"Oh… I have." Checkmate Fang said as he held up his arm. Everyone stood ready as Life Energy was released. Soon, several Fangires appeared, armed and growling as they formed an army of roughly twenty in total.
"Me and my big mouth." Bloom muttered regretfully.
"Well, we've fought Riders," Roxy said as she took out the Gold Saber again. "This should be a piece of cake."
All of a sudden, Kivat Bat III flew in and attacked several Fangires. "Wataru! Its starting to escalate!" he called out before flying to Wataru as he walked into the scene.
"Nii-San!" Taiga exclaimed.
"Papa!" Masao called out.
"Taiga Nii-San, Masao, Nago-Kun… Ikuzo," Wataru said as he held his hand into the air. "Kivat! Tatsulot!"
"KIVAT IKUZE!"
Kivat Bat III flew into Wataru's hand, Kivat Bat II to Taiga and Kivat Bat IV to Masao, while Nago took out the Ixa Knuckle.
RE-ADY!
"HENSHIN!"
FI-IST O-ON!
Tatsulot flew to Wataru's left arm, turning him into Kamen Rider Kiva Emperor Form while Taiga transformed into Kamen Rider Dark Kiva. Masao became Kamen Rider Neo Kiva while Nago completed his transformation into Kamen Rider Ixa.
"Anyone see the Dark Fairy?" Bloom asked as the Fangires prepared to charge.
"No, but I'm not gonna wait for her to show up." Flora said.
ZIKAN DESPEAR! YARISUGI!
The Fangires charged, and Woz took out his Zikan Despear. He slashed away two of the Fangires before Roxy blasted more of them. As she did, Sky was using his new sword and his original one to lock with three Rat Fangires before Bloom blasted her way through the Bull Fangire. She landed in front of Checkmate Fang and slashed at him, who blocked with his twisted Zanvat Sword. However, Kivat Bat III suddenly flew at him and knocked him back before Wataru walked forward.
"Zanvat!" Wataru called out, summoning the Zanvat Sword. He slashed at Checkmate Fang, who locked with him immediately. The two stared each other down before breaking off, Wataru sending a barrage of punches at him before slashing him across the chest.
"Nice!" Bloom exclaimed before two more Fangires tried to attack her. She spun around and held her hand out, her Raidarix RyukiSaber in her left hand now. "Mirror Recap!" she called out, summoning a reflection of the Fangire that had just attacked her. It growled and performed the same attempted strike, destroying the original in the process.
Checkmate Fang growled as he was pushed back. Wataru slashed at him again before kicking aside the Spider Fangire, right towards Taiga. Taiga held his hand over the Spider Fangire, as well as seven others, before a green symbol of Kiva appeared in the air. He slammed it down and snapped his fingers, causing them to explode.
"The false kings," Checkmate Fang said before his arm lit up some more. "This should remind you of your position among the true royalty of the Fangire Race!" he yelled before two figures emerged from Life Force shards.
Wataru and Taiga covered their eyes as the light flashed. When it cleared, the Bat Fangire, armed with a large sword in place of the first Zanvat Sword, and Another Kiva, both stood before them.
"No way!" Wataru exclaimed.
Taiga reached for the Jacorder. "They have no souls," he said. "We can destroy them like we did the first time."
"Yeah!" Wataru agreed before he locked blades with the Bat Fangire. As he did, Taiga lashed at Another Kiva, only for her to use two blades to slash away his Whip. He ran at her and started to clash as well, with the rest of the Winx starting to wipe out the rest of the Fangires.
Bloom panted as she leapt back, slashing away at the rest of the Fangires. As she did, she noticed Woz, Roxy and Masao trying to hold their own against the rest of the Fangires.
"Guys!" Bloom called out. She flew to them, only for several Sagarc to fly in her way. "I don't have time for you!" she yelled as her eyes glowed.
(Play Hatenaki Inochi by Hiroshi Kitadani)
Flames started to erupt from Bloom's wings, reaching the resurrected fake Fangires. As they got to a safe distance or were destroyed on sight, Bloom's Dragon and the Dragreder flew alongside her. As they did, she began to perform Kamen Rider Ryuki's leaping pose. She soon flew high into the air, the Ryuki Symbol on her wings trapping the five Fangires in place. Going so high, it almost looked as if she were in the center of the moon. She soon flew back down as her dragons breathed fire on her to increase her attack.
"Raidarix Dragon Kick!" Bloom yelled, destroying the Fangires upon landing her Dragon Kick. She leapt up again as her Raidarix Shooter rode towards her. Getting in, she rode towards the rest of the Fangires surrounding her friends. She placed the Raidarix RyukiSaber into one of the slots of her controls and thrust it forward, getting the Raidarix Shooter to turn into a fireball.
"There's Bloom!" Roxy called out. "Okay, let's take the rest of these guys out!" she called as she flew into the air. "Call of the Wild!" she called as she started to glow gold and pink.
"Time for us too." Woz said as he opened and closed the Beyondriver.
"Masao, let's go!" Kivat Bat IV called out.
"Yeah!" Masao called as he placed a Fuestle to Kivat Bat IV's mouth.
WAKE UP!
BEYOND THE TIME! TIME EXPLOSION!
Woz leapt up as Masao did the same, his Hell's Gate opening up. Both he and Woz flew down as Roxy flew down, slashing through several Fangires just as Bloom rode in.
"Mirror Meteor!" Bloom called out, crashing right through the other Fangires. As they flew into the air, Masao landed his Darkness Moon Break while Woz landed his Time Explosion. As soon as all four Finishers were performed, the Fangires all exploded.
(End Song)
Another Kiva punched Kamen Rider Dark Kiva away, but Taiga held his ground. Holding out Jacorder, he wrapped it around her before jumping into the air through a symbol of Kiva. As he landed, he slid his finger down, causing Another Kiva to explode.
As this was happening, Wataru slashed Checkmate Fang back again, but he did not spark. Seeing this, Wataru placed his Fuestle from the Zanvat Sword into Kivat Bat III's mouth.
WAKE UP!
Wataru shifted the Zanvat guard up and back down, giving his sword a red blade. He ran and charged at Checkmate Fang, only for him to suddenly break away.
"What's going on?" Wataru asked.
The Specialists, who had already taken care of other Fangires, noticed what was happening. The rest of the Winx, Woz, Masao and Nago looked on as well as Checkmate Fang started to glow. Soon, he became a complete crimson, silver and black version of his newer form. Now, he resembled Kamen Rider Kiva, more monstrous-looking than Another Kiva. He growled as day turned to night and his blade starting to glow dark red.
"That form… it looks like Kiva!" Kivat Bat II exclaimed.
"I knew the power you have gained would be a problem in this quest," the Dark Fairy said, appearing out of darkness. "Now, Checkmate Fang has an upgrade of his own. Here stands before you is Emperor Kiva… the TRUE King of the Fangires."
"You won't get away with this!" Bloom snarled.
The Dark Fairy chuckled as she summoned the Sword of Shocker. "We shall see."
Back at Wataru's house, Stella was busy looking over several other violins, failures or successes. As she was looking, she heard another violin play. Raising an eyebrow, she turned around and saw a Japanese man with dark hair walk over. He finished playing after a few plucks and rested his violin, which turned out to be the Bloody Rose.
"You are missing something," the man said. "Your heart isn't entirely in the violin."
"Yeah," Stella said warily. "Who are you?"
"Kurenai… Otoya."
To Be Continued…
In the next Chapter, the Winx will have to contend with the new Shokaijin, Emperor Kiva. Though Stella wants to help, she needs to find what it truly means to have the powers of Kiva. With this help, she will learn what it takes, and unlock a part of her that she never knew she had until now.
