I took the trek in the snow, heading towards the mansion and following the call of the violin.
I stepped over the hill and saw the exterior of the mansion, the Schnee Estate.
According to Gold Drive, there are three sisters in this universe. The younger two have Drivers, but Winter doesn't.
Not like it matters. The violin called me here, so I'm getting one last ghost to join my cause before getting ready for Beacon.
"You aren't going to recruit me, unless you can prove it."
A figure appeared, standing in front of me. He was a ghost, and was holding himself as if he was playing a violin. I raised an eyebrow and asked, my black scarf slightly muffling my voice, "Otoya, I presume?" He smiled, putting his hands to his side, "Yeah. I believe you are one of the new Kamen Riders, correct?" I nodded, "I'm not going to ask you to help me find my answer. Rather, I'm asking if you'll help me defeat the dark side, fighting along side the morally right Faunus and Humans." He smiled at me before pointing out, "You're a loose string. However, you're still tightly coiled, making it easy for you to be broken. I won't join you unless you can prove to me that you can adapt and not rely on the same tricks. I'm going to give you a trial. A test, if you will."
The blizzard momentarily cleared as I saw the estate. "Bloody Rose is in that mansion, but it isn't complete. Without your friends or powers, locate Bloody Rose and complete it. You will momentarily take on the mantle of a forgotten fighter, for as long as you're under this test. When you complete the task and escape the manor will I be allowed to be recruited to your cause." I looked at the manor. There was no telling on security, or about its layout. However...
"I'll do it."
"Alright, then. We'll warp you in a blind-spot. From there, you're on your own. Good Luck, and look after Sagark." He faded from view as I suddenly found myself just near the front door, inside the manor. After I finally processed his words, a UFO-Cobra-like being 'spun' and flew up to me, squeaking happily as I took off my gloves, noticing that my left hand has changed a bit.
It now had a chess design based on the King piece.
"You're going to take on the mantle of Saga. You know that, right?" I turned to the creature - Sagark, I reminded myself- and nodded while putting my shades away. However, I put my gloves back on and unzipped my jacket, revealing my plain white shirt with a pattern resembling a skull missing its lower jaw in black.
I then slowly walked down a hallway, looking around due to the violin now being silent. However, I happened to come across a painting, and was shocked at the newest member of this universe.
In the painting, there was an additional girl. Unlike her sisters and mother, she had her hair down. The genetic white hair and blue eyes were there, but her face caught me off guard.
It's exactly like my girlfriend back on Earth.
Looking at the engraved plate, I looked at the name of this person:
Blanc Schnee...
Blanc... The same name...
SKREEEECH!
CRASH!
Voices...
A scream...
The driver...
It's...
Blanc?
Wait... Blanc killed me? Drunk driving? She drove drunk?
"Who are you, walking the grounds of my master?"
I straightened up slightly, looking in the direction of the feral voice. A slightly feral person with black hair was to my right.
"Go... Away..."
To my left, a butler with slightly stiff movements.
A splash of water, turning to reveal a seemingly young boy.
However, thanks to my girlfriend, I knew better.
Slowly, I raised my hand, before snapping my fingers.
A disc quickly crashed into the trio, knocking them to the side as Sagark asked me, "What are you going to do, now?" With a flick of my wrist, I gave my answer.
Instantly, Sagark attached itself to my waist, 'looking' up as it became a belt. In my hand, there was a 'bar'. It was mainly white, but has a blue circle with white lines along the edge. On one end, there was a bit of red ejecting from the bar, just by a bit. The rest of the white parts had intricate designs with somewhat demonic engravings.
To be honest, this suit I'm about to use was my most favorite, tying in with Dangerous Zombie.
I pressed the red end of the bar into the side of Sagark, getting ready to run and find the violin, and finish it.
Third Person POV:
The trio of servants watch in stunned horror as the figure was briefly engulfed in quicksilver before morphing into his new form.
The armor was mostly white, the chest holding a pattern similar to a stained glass window, and the overall appearance of the armor giving off a prince-like vibe, especially the top of the helmet, which was shaped like a crown, with blue lens to act as the eyes. In addition, there was a 'cobra' like pattern running down the middle of the lenses. The shoulder pads were composed of many triangles, white outlines being highlighted for extra effect. Finally, triangular chain-like designs spiraled down the leggings, being a mirror of the other, stopping at the ankles which were wrapped in white triangles with multiple layers.
With a flick of his wrist, the red part of the bar extended, becoming something resembling a rapier.
Kamen Rider Saga, has returned.
The trial of Saga, has officially begun.
Yep, he just became Kamen Rider Saga, and is staying as Saga until his test is over. This means no ghosting, no help from ghosts, and doing it with only his main 5 senses just to locate a violin and finish the violin.
It'll be as tough as it sounds.
swift56 helped me out with describing Saga's look. Check him out. I put him under my 'Favorite Authors' tab on my page.
