Danny was now in rider form as he advanced to get to Sakura and Amaya who was siphoning off Sakura's power into her "Finally I'll be strong enough to rule the world" Amaya gleefully laughed. "You are Guilty" The rider growled "Am I now, of what?" Amaya said absorbing more of the starlight element of Sakura "Syphoners" The rider said using his chain to deflect the syphoner star away from Sakura who slumped to the ground. "You vengeance loving bastard!" Amaya shouted firing off a light at the rider who didn't even flinch when it hit him. "Shit, he's stronger than we first thought" Zero said "I better give him a hand" Zero said becoming the cyber Ghost Rider.
The Rider and The Cyber Rider used their weapons against the super powered Amaya, who used the power against them in the form of a blade which she wield with expert technique "Damn" Zero said changing back after being hit as The Rider charged full bore, never giving an inch as the star power work against him "I wonder" Amaya thought picking up a scattered Sakura Card "Come to me; Shadow Card" Amaya said successfully activating the card casting a shadow over everything "This isn't good" Zero said standing up "Sakura" he said rushing over to the young woman, the only source of light in the room was The Rider's flame. "She's alright just out cold" Zero said as The Rider scanned the area for its prey "The Cards" he growled. "Got it" Zero said gathering the scatter Sakura cards "NO you don't" Amaya said hidden in the shadows. "What?" Zero asked before a fist like object slammed into him. "That hurt" Zero said resuming his collection "NO!" Amaya shouted again launching her fist, only for it to be captured by The Rider. "Not this time" He growled pulling the chain forward bringing Amaya out of hiding and dispelling the shadow. "You're mine" The rider said using his chain as a whip to fight the super powered queen. "You're good, but I'm better" Amaya said throwing a shuriken of light.
"Shit, Danny's not going to last much longer" Zero said going for his bracer when the light Syphoner entered. "Oh shit" Zero said looking between the syphoner and the queen "Shit" Zero said activating his rider form and headed for the light Syphoner who was now floating over Sakura. "I'll get you" Zero said throwing a fist at the syphoner who dodged and tried to absorb any light from Zero but failed due to his armour "Nice try" Zero said before headbutting the syphoner, which then tried to blind Zero, which did nothing before it was kicked in the stomach "Again, nice try; now Lumen Sorbete" Zero shouted producing a white orb "Now that it's the last Syphoner captured" Zero said as he continued his way over to Sakura deactivating his armour.
The Rider and Amaya were still at each other's throats. "Die you stupid spirit" Amaya said throwing a ball of light "You can't beat" she started before changing back to normal "me" she said defeated "Shit" Amaya said pulling out a Chinese long sword "This is the Dragon's Wrath, a Zhanmado sword imbued with special powers" Amaya said "Powers enough to stop you" Amaya said attacking the rider, who blocked with his chain "Vengeance" The rider said using his chain as a whip again, only this time he used it to disarm Amaya "No stop, why didn't it hurt you?" Amaya asked being backed into a corner. "Time for Vengeance" the rider said pulling out a golden orb "What's that?" Amaya asked scared. "Regina Sorbete" The Rider said as streams of golden light shoot out of the orb and wrapped themselves around Amaya's wrist and ankles. "No not my power!" Amaya screamed as she felt her power leaving her "Please stop" Amaya begged "No" The rider growled.
After a good hour the power of the queen had been absorbed, the ropes of golden rope withdrew, "No I hate this feeling" Amaya said weakened "My power's gone I'm a normal girl again. Please not this" Amaya whined as Zero walked up to her. "Why did you create the Syphoners?" Zero asked. "So that I could have the power to bring peace to the world" Amaya said "This is for peace?" Zero asked. "Have you seen this world, war famine, illness I thought if I could harness the elements I could repair the world and become the queen of the planet" Amaya said sadly smiling "So basically peace through control" Zero said. While this was going on the rider stood off to the side.
"What happened?" Sakura asked regain her consciousness "Danny?" Sakura looking around "no" The rider growled in a whisper "Is that you?" Sakura asked shocked "Monster" Danny said as the flames dulled as if to show his sad emotion "NO you're not" Sakura said trying to reach him "Sakura, are you okay?" Zero asked "Yeah I am, but what about?" Sakura turning to see Danny was gone "Damn, we've got find him" Sakura said "You can't; once a rider is in hiding they are extremely difficult to locate" Zero said "Can't you track him?" Sakura asked. "No, my bracer can't track anything that is not tech based, and considering that the rider is magic based." Zero said sadly "So we can't track him?" Sakura asked as a tear slid down her cheek "Yeah" Zero said "But now we have more pressing matters to deal with" Zero said as he approached Amaya. "I'll do that" Eli said showing up "Eli?" Sakura asked. "Yep, now the elders would like a word with you" Eli said taking Amaya and teleporting away.
A week later
"So no word on Danny yet?" Tomoyo asked as she walked down the hall with Sakura "No not yet" Sakura sighed going to her locker. "Hey" Zero said softly coming up to them "Hey" Tomoyo replied kissing him sweetly "Oh sorry" Zero said "Don't be, its encouraging" Sakura said "Still hoping you'll see him one day?" Zero said as Sakura opened her locker and saw a note "Whose that from?" Tomoyo asked.
"My Dearest Sakura, I'm sorry that I took off quickly after the short battle with Amaya but with the Rider now awakened I can't get the risk of involving you in anything the Rider does, until I control it; so for now I'll see you later and remember I love you now and always, love you dark rider Danny" The note said. 'Danny, he was here?' Sakura thought.
'She got it, now we have to go' Noble said as Danny saw Sakura one last time "Alright let's go" Danny said walking out to his bike "I'm going to miss her; but we need to find a place to work on the rider's powers and make sure our vengeance is not fatal to the innocent" Danny said looking up to see Sakura at the window, he then proceeded to blow a kiss to his angel and rode off. "So where to?" Danny asked.
After a couple fo days of riding Danny was caught in heavy rain 'That barn there!' Noble said as the two were seeking shelter "Why do you care?" Danny asked hopping off his bike in the dry barn. 'I don't want you to get sick' Noble said as they heard footsteps. "Who are you and why are you in my barn" a voice said "Whoa, excuse us?" Danny asked seeing njo one "Down here!" the voice said as Danny looked down to see a short older man "Wow, wasn't expecting that, anyway I needed a place to crash from the storm" Danny said "Very well, but if you want to stay here you have to work" the old man said "Sure, I'll help you out, but what's your name anyway?" Danny asked "My name is Makarov Dreyar, but you can call me Makarov" Makarov said "Daniel Ketch, but you can call me Danny" Danny said "Nice to meet you" Makarov said "And by the way come up to the house it's warmer than here" Makarov said "Sure." Danny smiled.
"Hello? Hey dad how's the dig going?" Skaura said over the phone "I'm good sweetheart, and the dig's going alright we just recovered something special" her father said "What is it?" Sakura asked. "Its called the Heart of Amestris, whatever that is, but I've also heard it called the Eye of Atlantis" her father said "Sweet, so you think this Colson guy wanted this eye thing?" Sakura asked. 'Yes he did, I've got to go dear I'll see you later' her father farewelled.
