Chapter 8: A trip to Albion and the Luna Dopant
I couldn't believe my eyes, the princess of Tristain back here in the room and by the sound of her depression, she seems desperate and close to tears. Louise tried to calm her down while I thought why she should visit us at this hour.
"Um, your grace…" I spoke "can I ask why you would come here personally?"
The princess composed herself from the near breakdown of her misery
"I have come here to inform you two that I will be marrying the king of Germania" she declared
Louise was outraged to hear that her best friend is to be wed to an outrageous king since Kirche lived there. I on the other hand understood that, Henrietta was willing to sacrifice her happiness to save her country. But when she came here to tell us this engagement there was serious and wanted to make sure that it won't be called off
"Also I am here to give you two a mission for I place my trust in you the most, and must be done in the utmost secrecy" she added
"Fret not your highness!" Louise boasted "I will not let you down!"
"It is hard for me to say" Henrietta spoke "but…"
"You're in love with someone else" I finished. I knew there was a catch, since the princess went all this way to tell us about her troubles and if this was heard then Tristain will be left as an open target to any conqueror
Henrietta told us that she had a love letter to her lover princes Wales of Albion and she tasked us to go there and retrieve the letter, unfortunately that country was in a civil war with rebellion group known as Reconquista. If they found out about the letter then the rebellion will take it to their advantage!
I can see why she would turn to Louise… she was the only one that Henrietta can trust without fail.
Creak
I turned to the door and saw it slightly open. I gestured the girls to be quiet as I quietly walked to the door, the two looked curiously as I closed in on the door. In one swift movement I opened the door to reveal a familiar blonde falling into the room
"Guiche" I sighed "why am I not surprised...?'
The blonde mage instantly sat up and was on his knees looking up to the princess of Tristain
"Oh your highness please let me go with them" he said "for I Guchie de Gramont will be an asset on this mission"
That surprised Louise and me. Here's a guy who would rather not fight in battle was pleading to go on a dangerous mission, curiously I grabbed Guiche by the collar and dragged him outside leaving the girls in their thoughts.
"Okay Guiche" I looked at him with a hard stare "what has made you desperate to go on such a horrific mission?"
The blond mage explained that he was a third child of his family and his two older brothers were praised by his father, Marshal de Gramont, while leaving him unattended
After hearing that, I can understand that Guiche was trying to prove that he is a great mage and this mission was his only chance...
"Okay Guiche, I'll let you join us" I said calmly "but know this, you will not be in good hands and you must handle your own weight because we both know that it would be disastrous on making mistakes"
"I wouldn't see it any other way" Guiche declared assuredly
The three of us were now outside on dirt road waiting for someone, Henrietta said that we would have someone guide us to Albion and aid us at our task. I for one should take it cautiously since this mission is placed in a civil war against royalty and a rebellion.
Rumble!
We saw the ground shake and suddenly a giant brown mole came out of the dirt. I was surprised to see a mole that big, but then again… I am in a world filled with magic so I shouldn't question these things. Guiche saw the creature and was surprised to see it.
"Belldandy!" The blond mage was happy to see his familiar and made a dash to the giant mole
I looked on seeing Guiche and his familiar acting all lovey-dovey while hearing the creature's name I can see that the mole is female.
'Oh Guiche' I sighed shaking my head 'I wonder if there really was a way for you to control yourself'
Louise went beside me looking at Guiche and his familiar curiously
"Do those two always act like that?" she asked
"I asked the same question when I saw them together" I replied
But then Guiche's familiar jumped on Louise forcing the girl to the ground
"HEY!" Louise screamed "GET OFF ME!"
I looked at them in shock then turned to the blonde mage who was smiling at the scene
"Mind telling me why you're familiar is on Louise?" I asked
Guiche explained that Belldandy has a good nose for jewels which is why Louise was getting crushed since the giant mole is sniffing her ring that Princess Henrietta gave.
I was about to help Louise out until…
WHOOSH
A large gale came and pushed Belldandy off Louise. Guiche ran to his familiar while I looked to the source of the spell, I saw a figure about in his thirties; he wore a white-tinted grey coat and pants, grey hair that reached his back and a hat to cover his face from the bright sun
He walked passed me and helped Louise on her feet, who in my curiosity was blushing upon seeing the man.
"I hope that you are alright Louise" he smiled
"T-thank you for your aid and concern" she stammered at seeing the man who saved her
I walked up to him assuming the man would be the aide for this mission
"Sorry to interrupt your moment with Louise, but who are you?" I asked
"Oh I'm sorry" the man bowed and introduced himself "I am Viscount Wardes. I will be helping you on this mission and also I am Louise's fiancée"
I was shocked while Louise just got redder at Wardes' proclamation, but then I forgot that the lifestyle of this world was in the medieval era, so the age difference isn't considered an obstacle
Inside Kirche's room, the girl woke up from her lovely dream with her darling. She stumbled a bit since she was still getting the sleep out of her. But when Kirche opened her window to cool of… she saw Guiche and her darling below, but then she saw Louise with a strange handsome man close to her.
Normally Kirche would take interest at the stranger being with Louise, but she is different now since she found her true darling.
"Why that no good-!" Kirche growled "that Valliere has already a man with her… and now she's taking darling too?!" she fumed "OOOOH! Just wait till I give her a piece of my mind!"
Kirche quickly wore her uniform and stormed out to find Tabitha in hopes to catch up with them
I was riding my horse with Derflinger as my company. Guiche was next to me feeling excited about this while I kept looking at Louise and Wardes being together while riding on his griffon, no doubt that Tristain only had them since it is a small kingdom
I also learned that Louise's parents arranged this engagement and the two have been close since they met. But there was something that he's hiding… like there is a part in this mission that only he knows
"A mission with the Viscount" Guiche smiled "how much of a great honor that is"
Guiche looked at me eyeing the two in front of me and smirked "feeling jealous Peter?"
"Not really" I replied "I know this is stupid, but I have a feeling that when we get to Albion something bad will happen..."
"Now don't say that" the blond mage said "with Viscount Wardes, nothing can go wrong!"
"If you say so" I still can't help it even with Wardes' aide in this mission that bad feeling is still inside me
The four of us arrived in a village between mountains called La Nocher. I have to say for a place that has rock structures for buildings…it is well developed. Wardes guided us in a fancy inn with silk and flower decorating the building.
"We'll rest here for the night" the viscount spoke while dismounting his griffon while gently getting Louise down
"O-of course" Guiche nodded as he got his steed. I just nodded and retrieved the packages from the saddle
"Peter!" Louise shouted "you will answer Sir Wardes when he speaks to you!"
"I'm sorry Louise" I sighed "I didn't know that it was accustomed for me to do that"
Before Louise could shout again, Wardes placed his hand on her shoulder, "it's alright Louise" he smiled "Peter is just doing his job and I don't demand respect like the other nobles"
I was surprised to hear him say that, but after seeing Princess Henrietta strive to help her kingdom. I would've gotten used to seeing the rare traits a few their kind possess...
We sat on a big table after checking in to our rooms, and with Louise acting shy I just have to know how they got so close.
"So tell me" I spoke "how did you two know each other?"
Louise looked away trying to avoid my question while her fiancé just smiled. He then began to tell me that he met Louise when he was just a little girl. After a while for being compared to her sisters Louise got so upset that she took a boat on a lake to cry, Wardes said if he hadn't been with Louise that time she would have been different.
"And we've been close ever since" the viscount finished with a blushing Louise next to him
"Wow" I felt amazed at the story "now that I know that you two got close, how did Louise's parents arrange the engagement between you two?" I asked
"With my reputation rising in the Griffon Knights" Wardes called "they saw it fit that I was a suitable match for her. An arrangement on which I happen to agree"
I tightened my grip on my chair for a second. Louise's parents only see the blunt side of their life, while I admit that the nobles pride themselves on status…but to abuse their own flesh and blood to perfection? That's just so wrong... however, I should be thankful that Wardes saved her from the fear and loneliness she would've carried
I raised my glass to the air "then I wish for you two to have a happy and wonderful life together"
"You flatter us" Wardes laughed while Louise's face got redder "now that you know me better. I heard from Louise you have been summoned here?"
"That's right" I nodded "I'm her familiar, has Louise told you anything about me?"
"Only about the magic you have been bestowed upon" he replied
I looked to Louise and she was twiddling her thumbs. I guess I can understand that, if there was someone who you can tell your greatest achievement first it would be the ones you trust completely
"Considering that I have helped Louise during your work, I may have done some things that was considered unbelievable..."
"That would seem likely" Wardes leaned forward placing his elbow on the table and his chin on his hand "and it makes me curious to even spar you"
Guiche choked on his drink while Louise gaped at her fiancé "Wardes!" she screeched "you s-s-shouldn't-!"
"Don't worry about it" he smiled "I know he's strong, after all he stopped Foquet the crumbling dirt and a Viscount from Germania"
"How did you know about that?" I asked in surprise
"My position and rank let's me hear things that were supposed to be kept quiet" Wardes answered "so would you care to have a round with me?"
I was stumped at that, a viscount just offered me to have a friendly due;. It would have been an honor but I remembered her highness' request/plea of the mission
"As much as it is to have the opportunity to have such an offer" I smiled "but I'm afraid I must decline"
My answer caught the three mages by surprise
"May I ask why you refuse?" Wardes asked
"I may have the ability to use my magic in an unusual way, but it seems that I need to remind you all that we have a mission from the princess" I replied
Louise and Guiche nodded at that while the viscount grudgingly agreed as well
After our meals Wardes gave me and Guiche a list of supplies for us to retrieve in the market. We went to the market while he and Louise will secure rooms in the inn.
Guiche and I were carrying the necessities on our trip to Albion. I was used to carrying things thanks to doing the laundry for Louise. Guiche on the other hand…
"THIS IS TORTURE!" the blond complained "I'm an earth mage! Not some kind of servant...!"
"Don't be like that" I chided "at least you got something to do rather than doing nothing"
"Name me one thing that I should be glad by doing this" he whined
"For one, this place is filled with fair maidens" I countered "and the magnificent Guiche would not lose his opportunity to see them"
I smiled when he sprang to life daydreaming of the women that he would meet, I laughed internally at how he will react when Montmorency is going to find out that her boyfriend is two-timing again
Boom!
We turned to the sound only to see a familiar giant golem in front of us and a figure standing on its shoulder
"Hello again Gandalf" Fouquet smiled
"Fouquet!" I shouted "what are you doing here?! Shouldn't you be imprisoned?"
"Apparently, someone decided to free me from that awful place" she replied "I'm glad he did that because I've wanted to get my revenge on you for defeating me"
I dropped my things, took Guiche's hand and ran from the golem's fist. We were behind some rubble hiding from Foquet for a while. I peeked to see that the thief was still looking for us which gave me time to make a plan.
I looked to the blond mage "Guiche" I started "I need you to use your golems and distract her for the moment"
"ARE YOU CRAZY!?" he shouted frantically "didn't you see the size of that thing!?"
"You were the one that decided to join this mission" I countered "you wanted to prove that you're not weak right? Then here's your chance!"
Guiche calmed for a few seconds and then steeling his nerves, he waved his flower letting the petals touch the ground turning into his bronze Valkeries, he commanded his golems to attack.
While Guiche was distracting her I placed the Acceldriver on my waist and pulled out my Accel memory
"Hen…SHIN!"
Accel
Louise was sitting on her bed looking out the window with her thoughts wandering
'Peter, why is it that you have become such a mystery' she sighed
"Louise" a voice called to her
The girl turned around to see Wardes looking at her
"Oh Wardes" she spoke "what is it?"
"I was wondering about the artifacts you have in your collection" he said
"You mean the Gaia memories?" she replied "I gave them back to Peter"
Wardes flinched at her response but stayed composed
"I thought that you had them for reasons that he would go against you" he replied
"He won't do that" Louise answered
"What makes you sure about that?" the viscount asked
"Because I know him"
I was now facing the giant golem a third time but I had restrictions now since I'm carrying a tired Guiche since he used all of his magic for helping me. I was limited to keep a distance from Foquet and thanks to the mountains her golem can regenerate form my attacks quicker.
I was about to run from another attack but something happened… a giant fireball came from nowhere followed by a gale whirlwind striking the golem
Ka-boom!
The thief flew up to the sky and with magic separated the golem crumbled at the loss of magic
I turned around to see a set of familiar colors of red and blue on a flying dragon coming toward us.
"DARLING!" Kirche smiled as she waved at me with Tabitha in front of her
"Kirche! Tabitha!" I smiled "am I glad to see you"
I placed Guiche against the wall to let him rest, I turned to see Foquet keeping herself on her feet. I took that chance and threw my engine blade at her!
It struck her cloak against the wall. She tried to remove the blade so she does not lose her clothes
Guiche, Kirche, Tabitha and I were in front of Foquet. The thief stopped since she was already at a loss, Foquet the dirtiest glare that she could muster but Guiche used his earth magic and shackled her arms and legs in case she would make a run for it.
"So Foquet" I said while holding onto my engine blade "care to explain why you are here?"
The thief just looked away and huffed not giving me an answer. I sighed that she would be this stubborn, with no other choice I pressed the trigger on my weapon.
Electric
My blade now covered in electricity which is now close to her
"Last chance to get out the easy way" I reasoned
Foquet still won't cooperate. I then tapped my blade against her giving the thief a jolt
Zaap!
"AAAAAHH!" Foquet screamed in agony
"Since you refused my kindness" I spoke sadly "I hope that you will give me answers after feeling that"
"And if I gave you a wrong answer...?" she peered
"Then you will be feeling the pain a bit longer than the last one" I answered "No, who would let you out? And be honest or you would have to get another jolt in your body"
Louise glanced at her fiancé Wardes who s in deep thought. Why would he feel surprised that she would give Peter the Gaia memories they had? Peter knew that those relics hold the magic of the earth and to those who were easily succumbed to power would mean their insanity.
One thing kept her thoughts asking about his sudden interest on the subject… why?
After a few shocks The thief was now unconscious with her hair a bit frazzled and her clothes looking charred
"I…I don't believe it..." Guiche gaped "Wardes….a member of the rebels?"
Foquet claimed that Wardes had helped her get out of prison. He had bribed someone to look at some fake documents that said she will be moved to another prison. As for the rebellion, they were called the Reconquista. The goal was to overthrow the royal family and take the floating island for themselves. With Louise proven as a void mage since the runes on my left hand were a clear indication
"Louise, the zero…a void mage?" Kirche was dumbfounded since the truth of Wardes didn't catch onto her.
Now that I know the bad feeling I had earlier was not a mistake. I had to get to Albion before it's too late!
"Kirche, Tabitha" I spoke quickly "get Sylphid ready to fly in Albion!"
Tabitha went to her dragon with Kirche following, I looked to Guiche who still can't believe that the great viscount Wardes would side with the enemy. I had to get him out of the gutter and I know what the cure will be for him.
"Guiche" I said making him flinch "I'm a little tired thanks to the fight with Foquet earlier. Would you be so kind to carry her for me?"
The blond smiled a bit and carried the unconscious thief on Sylphid. But before Guiche and I climbed up the dragon squeaked in surprise. I looked to the ground only to see it rising, once the soil broke apart I saw a large brown creature who seemed glad to be here.
"Belldandy!" Guiche smiled at seeing his familiar "are you here to see me?!"
As nice it to see those two together again I have to interrupt...
"Guiche!"I shouted "we need to move...!"
"Oh right!"
The two of us carried the giant mole on the dragon with us going next. We all flew up but I just realized that we don't know where the floating island is! I was about to ask but Kirche took care of that
"Where is Albion?" she asked "I don't have a clue on how we can get there"
Tabitha pointed her staff in front "airship" she said
"Of course!" Kirche cheered "we'll just follow the airship and it will take us to Albion!"
Louise was feeling uneasy when she flew to Albion, one time her fiancé Wardes was looking so serious and then suddenly he became so close, she was that he left for the moment cause she was really feeling the pressure going slightly higher.
After following the airship for a while, Foquet started to wake up. When she was fully awake she remembered of her loss and glared at me for not only another defeat but also for the torture she was given in La Nocher
"You will pay for this!" she growled
Kirche was about to shout back at her but I to stopped her
"It's okay Kirche" I said "Foquet won't be able to get out those shackles, and if she did…would she be stupid enough to jump down from this height?"
The thief looked down and only saw clouds, if she wanted to live then she would stay on the dragon
"Now that you're awake" I looked at her "I was wondering… why would someone like you join Reconquista...?"
"I have my own reasons to join them" she answered
"More important than trinkets or status?" I pushed on
She nodded and since the flight will take a while Foquet decided to indulge us with how she became the crumbling dirt. When she was just a child her parents were in an arranged marriage and she was considered the chain that kept them together. But then her mother divorced since the father got a mistress…but this was no ordinary woman. No…this lady was an elf!
I can tell the story leads to bad news when this father of hers took on another lady and even the others seemed surprised at the unexpected event
Thankfully the elf was kind and Foquet got friendly with her, the two seemed inseparable.
And to the students from the academy were thinking that I was related to them. These creatures harness magic that is a part of nature, and judging from her story she was quite talented since the golems were big enough to stall for reinforcements...
But then the elf mistress got pregnant to Foquet's father and made another daughter. Since Foquet's skills of making golems were so wondrous, it reached to the ears of Albion's king, he made a meeting to have an arranged marriage with prince Wales
Okay, by getting this far…I can tell something went wrong with the proposal since she is here and the floating kingdom was in war with Reconquista. And from this perspective Foquet lost her parents making her and her sister go into hiding, she was now in charge to take matters in her own hands...
"And that's how you, Foquet the crumbling dirt, came to existence" I concluded
"Yes" she nodded "I did those things so I could make sure that my sister, my only family… was safe..."
Everything was quiet, the story Foquet told was beyond reason. I took a deep breath and decided to make it my business
"Since Foquet was born from the disaster from the past, do you have another name?"
The thief got surprised that I asked such an unusual question but she decided to answer
"It's Matilda" she replied
"Now that I know your real name, can you at least tell me who the leader of Reconquista?"
She looked away from me trying to recall her events in said group
"His name is Cromwell" she answered
Bingo! I now have the man identified, all I need is one more thing…
"Does he wear a ring?" I asked again
"He does and he even kept it with him without leaving his hand" she said "why?"
"That ring holds strong magic" I answered "it has the ability to bring back the dead and if there is anymore than that well let's just say it will be disastrous"
"So you want the ring then?" Foquet questioned
"I made a promise to someone" I recalled my meeting with the water spirit in Lagdorian Lake
Louise was in an altar with Wardes next to her. She was in her school uniform but with a veil covering her face, the look in her eyes was spacey…like she hadn't made one complaint. Her body was moving against her will being forcefully wed. She remembered meeting the prince of Albion and gave him the letter.
But when she found out that Wardes was acting very aggressive, she tried to run however she was caught by someone and was hypnotized to be wed with the viscount which led to her recent situation.
'Someone... please save me!'
All of us reached the floating island and with Matilda's help, we were able to land in secret. We got off Sylphid and checked the area
"Okay" I breathed "nobody saw us, that's good"
"How can we find Louise in this place?" Kirche wondered "this place is completely out of our knowledge"
"I have a solution" Guiche grunted when he carried his familiar to the ground "Belldandy will guide us!" he smiled "she can smell precious stones and Louise was wearing the royal ring of Trisain so Wales can know the connection with her highness!"
"Good" I nodded "I'll see you guys when you get there...!"
"But darling!" Kirche interjected "you don't know where they will be"
"I can already guess..." I growled 'and hopefully I'm not too late'
I took out my Accel memory
Accel
"Hen…shin!"
Accel
I changed into kamen rider Accel and shifted into bike mode. I revved up the throttle and zoomed to the one place where Wardes would take Louise, I only have one thought right now and that's saving Louise.
I rode through the streets not caring if anyone saw me, seeing my destination I leaped into the air changing back to my regular shape and kicked the doors open.
Wham!
I looked to see an altar with Wardes looking shocked to see me and Louise who just stared blankly. Behind the altar is who I can guess was the prince of Albion Wales. Around the area were his knights and they were only few of them since most of them were busy patrolling around the kingdom for the rebellions.
"How did you-?!" Wardes questioned
"YOUR HIGHNESS!" I shouted "GET AWAY FROM THEM! YOU'RE GOING TO BE KILLED!"
The prince was shocked to hear that, but he couldn't see that Wardes pushed Louise away with sword in hand ready to deliver the killing blow!
"Oh no you don't!" A different voice came
Whap!
I was dumbfounded that the assassination was stopped… not by a knight. But by a whip! I looked up to see another NEVER operative. This one is clearly female; she had shoulder black hair, wore an open zipped Never jacket with a yellow tube top inside, she had shorts for easy movement and combat leather boots.
"Who are you!?" The viscount growled
The lady smiled and jumped down "my name is Emily" she introduced "and I'm afraid that you have done a naughty deed"
Pow!
Wham!
She made a few hard hits at Wardes making him drop his weapon
"That was only a small taste of your punishment" she then moved to his arm "and this will make you useless for a while"
Crack!
"AAAAAGH!"
Emily broke his arm before she kicked him out the window. She then turned to me with the smile not leaving her face
"So you are Accel?" she asked
I only nodded still disbelieving that she would be saving the royal prince from his untimely demise.
"I have been eager to meet you since our newest member can't stop talking about you"
"What are you implying?" I questioned
"I'm just saying that" she reached into jacket "I want to see your power for myself" and pulled out a Gaia memory.
Luna
Emily threw her memory and it moved back inserting itself on her right shoulder. Bright light covered her body transforming her into the Luna Dopant; the body was bright yellow with long arms touching the floor, black spikes on her shoulders with a crescent moon on her back and her head was a domed helmet with yellow lining
"Let's have a good time okay?"
That was the last thing I heard from her before she attacked me!
Belldandy was leading Guiche, Tabitha, Kirche and Matilda to a church but before they got close they heard something.
Crash!
They stopped to see Peter land roughly on the ground
"DARLING/PETER!"
They then saw the Luna Dopant come out looking at Peter
"You must have some fight in you" the monster said in a disappointed tone
Kirche was about to jump in but she was stopped
"Let me go!" she struggled "I must help darling!"
"Look" Tabitha pointed back to the fight
I struggled to get on my feet after the assault I was given earlier. I looked at Emily who was waiting for me.
"Are ready to try again?" she asked
"You bet I am" I replied
"Then let me give a big hug!" she smiled
The Dopant lashed her arms at me wrapping my body in her long arms. I struggled to break on her hold but her powers made it hard for me to fight it. Thinking quickly I gripped on the throttle and twist it
Vroom!
Emily screamed in pain on the sudden heat on my armor making her let go. I had to finish this fight and only one option was left, I pulled out the Trial memory.
Trial
I removed the Accel memory switched the watch face up and placed it on my belt
Trial
I changed into Trial form and the Dopant was able to get her bearings right
"Since I can't touch you now" she spoke "I'll just let my friends do that!"
She waved both her arms and summoned a group of people in dark skin and bony features on their faces and hands. These are the Masquerade Dopants, they charged at me and I dodged every attack thanks to my new form and delivered fast counters back at them.
I pulled out my engine blade and placed the engine memory inside
Engine Maximum Drive
I pulled out my trial memory and placed the watch back in front of me
Click
I blurred out and delivered quick slashes on each Masquerade Dopant making them stand still. I pressed the button again after I finished my attack the stopwatch showed 9.7 seconds
Trial Maximum Drive
And then
BOOM!
"Unbelievable" Tabitha spoke with Guiche gaping at Peter's power and skill
"Oh darling, you are so brave!" Kirche was once again smitten by him
Matilda was in awe… she may have underestimated Peter but seeing his new armor today... it made her think about surrendering to Tristain and perhaps have some time to think on her actions...
I changed back to my normal look and sighed at my latest battle. It seems that some of NEVER's members decided to meet me out of curiosity, and I already met three, I wonder how long before another one would visit me...
I was then tackled by Kirche who was happy to see that I'm alright
"Easy Kirche" I smiled "I'm fine"
All of us walked into the church to see the knights around prince Wales helping Louise on her fight. I dashed to them and see if they're fine
"Louise! Prince Wales!"
The two looked at me with relief inside my lungs to see no injuries on them. Louise clung onto me and cried since she was now alone thanks to the viscount breaking her heart.
"It's okay Louise" I soothed my mistress "I'm here now"
I looked to Wales who was still calm after the failed assassination
"I take it that you know of Henrietta's message...?"
"Yes" he answered
"And you will still stay and fight..."
He nodded
It seems that Wales will fight to his last breath to prove that he isn't corrupted. And since he won't stop himself from his beliefs, there was only one thing I can do
"Is there any request from a true noble?" I asked
The prince hummed in thought before giving an answer
"I would like you to protect Henrietta from harm..." he requested
I nodded at his final request, I placed Louise aside and pulled out Derflinger
"What are you doing Peter?" Derf asked
"Making a contract..." I replied
I made a small cut on my left hand making everyone gasp at my action
"If you're asking, this is a more personal contract" I replied "a bit of my blood mix with some yours Prince Wales"
The prince nodded and made small cut on his left hand then shook it with mine
"Our blood has been mixed and the contract is made" I concluded
"I'm sorry that if this will be a burden to you" he said sadly
"Don't take it bad your highness" I reasoned "we all have things to protect"
We say our farewells and flew back to Tristain, knowing well that the princess is not going to like this answer but she has to know…it's not easy, but what am I supposed to do?
To be continued…
Author's notes:
Okay I finally finished chapter and boy… was that hard to finish I just want to say that next chapter might be short considering that it will be Peter and Louise going to Siesta's home village and whatnot
And now I give you an alternate version of the battle with Peter being Kamen Rider W, oh and also since it will be him alone carrying both sides of W's power he will carry the left side of his memories with him while thinking of what memory the right side will be before his transformation.
Giuche versus W
I looked At Guiche who was looking angry at me for making feel the truth and it turns out that these nobles are deluding themselves that they can get away with anything.
"You will pay for what you've done" he growled
"For what?" I suggested "letting you find out the truth about playing a girl's feelings?"
The audience laughed at my joke making the blond angrier than usual
"THAT'S IT!" he waved his flower letting a petal fall to the ground changing it into a bronze golem "my Valkeryie will teach you a lesson"
"Nice" I whistled at his creation "nice touch, but it won't help you"
I pulled out the doubledriver then placed it on my waist and took out my Joker memory
Joker
"Henshin!"
The audience anticipated when they saw a green memory placed on the right slot on my buckle then inserted my joker memory on the left side and pushed them activating my transformation.
Cyclone Joker
A heavy gust of wind came making everyone cover their faces while metal bits combining with my body. I can tell that my right side is dark green with a silver scarf and the left side was dark violet. Due to my new look everyone gaped at me.
"Who…are you?" Guiche said while his face was still dumbfounded at my transformation
"I…am Kamen Rider W" I introduced "now…time to count up your sins"
Guiche snapped from his daze and ordered his golem to attack, the Valkeryie launched at me but dodged the attack and delivered a right hook. With the cyclone memory my body is now given more agility than normal. The collision with my hook made golem lose its head before changing back to a petal.
"Oh don't tell me that the great Guiche has faltered" I teased
Moving desperately he waved his flower wand making six more of the Valkeryies, they all charged at me with spears ready to puncture my body. I jumped forward nearly an inch when the spears came close.
"Let's fire things up" I pulled out a red memory
Heat
I switched out my Cyclone memory with the Heat Memory
Heat Joker
My right side changed to crimson red and I delivered a punch melting the Valkeryie upon contact. I struck down the remaining golem and looked to see Guiche trying to make another army
"Oh no you don't…" I closed my buckle pulling out the Heat memory with another one
Luna
I placed it on my belt
Luna Joker
My right half was now in golden color, I quickly lashed out my arm stretching it shocking the audience a third time. I grabbed Guiche and pulled him back making the blond hang upside down in front of me. And boy was he feeling scared
"Now Guiche" I spoke "you can surrender or... I throw you to the air and have you kiss the earth on the way down"
"I give up! I give up!" he said frantically
I let him down gently and closed my Doubledriver then pulled out both memories changing me back to normal. I walked away from him and stopped in front a dumbfounded Guiche and Siesta
"Let's go you two" I smiled "we've overstayed our welcome"
Yeah no maximum drive on this because I kinda think it wouldn't be necessary since W has a lot of form changes
Hope you enjoyed it
