Kamen Rider Wizard: Sky of Infinity
Spell 2: The Wizard and Swordswoman's clash! Mio, what are you fighting for?!
Tai took Hijikata into an empty guest room and they stare at each other, one can literally feel the tension around them with Hijikata feel uncomfortably nervous.
"Hijikata-san…please tells me what happened?" Tai asks; demand to know what just happened between Hijikata and Mio.
"I…I don't know what to do. It's all too sudden when Mio asks me to do it." Hijikata said as he face clearly shown a very worried look.
"Do what?" Tai confused as to what Hijikata was talking about.
"I-I…almost shoot Sakamoto-san as she orders me to." Hijikata finally let it out and Tai was discerning about what Hijikata has said to him and then he finally get it albeit with a shocked expression on Tai's face as he looks at the soldier with disbelief.
"You and Mio did what?!" Tai said.
"Phantoms, mysterious creatures exist long time have resurface to this world once again when the Neuroi came to invade Earth." The announcement said.
(The Sabbath is occurring where Gates transformed into sinister creatures known as Phantoms and mystery leader known as Wiseman appear.)
"The only one who can stop this mess with the abilities to use the Wizard rings…and turning despair into Hope for the future." Announce said.
(Taichi Sohma who was hovers right in front the magic circle and makes a glance towards the viewers as a quick flash of Kamen Rider Wizard can be seen in his place)
Itsuka itsuka
Tai is alone; sitting in a meadow in the middle of the night, his hair is softly moving his hair. But his face is hidden by his angle, since he is looking to the sky.
The full moon is illuminating the area.
And scattered around Tai… are all of his Rings.
Yakusoku no Sora
But Tai wasn't totally alone.
In a river only a few steps from him… is Kamen Rider Wizard Water Dragon, who is seeing his refection in the water.
In the top of a tree… there is Hurricane Dragon enjoying the night breeze.
Over a rock… is Land Dragon, who with just one hand crushes a small boulder.
And finally, sitting alongside Tai… is Flame Dragon.
Kimi to nara mata toberu yo
Tai takes his Digivice from his pocket, and immediately he looked younger… like the first time he visited the Digital World.
Flame Dragon looks at his belt, and then at his hands, and with determination he start walking away from his past self.
The others form of Wizard decided to do the same. Also the scattered rings disappeared.
Taichi has moved on in his life, he is now a Wizard.
But… his younger self and Agumon are saying goodbye with their hands and smile in their faces.
Kuyashikute tsurakute nemurenai yoru
The Sabbath is happening, the land is covering with purple creaks, and people fall in despair.
Dare ni demo aru yo
Wizard is walking alone, but quickly all of his forms are walking alongside him.
The White Wizard is watching from afar, and surprisingly Koyomi is with him.
The two of them look at each other in the eyes before they grasp each other's hand.
Sonna toki wa yonde kaketsukeru kara
The sky darkens, signaling the Neuroi attacking.
Yoshika is running to prepare herself for the fight.
Wizard meanwhile is fighting Ghouls as he knows he don't have to worry about Yoshika, since he trust her power.
Michiko meanwhile was watching the fight of Wizard, and was cheering for him behind a tree.
Oto no hayasa de ne
The Strike Witches are flying thought the Sky.
Wizard Hurricane Dragon appears and joins them.
Sore ga sadame demo ne aragau yo
Tai becomes Wizard Flame Dragon and start a fight with Phoenix.
But, in the refection of Phoenix in a mirror… there is a man crying, a man named Yuugo.
Tai becomes Wizard Land Dragon and Fights Medusa.
In the refection of Medusa… there is a woman crying.
Tai becomes Hurricane Dragon and fight Gremlin.
In the reflection of Gremlin… there is a man laughing.
Kimi ga hora waratte ne kureru kara
Wizard is riding is Machine Winger, and then he uses it to ride Dragon.
Kanaetai yume tooi kedo
Tai is walking alone in the city of Romania… but is unaware that certain girls are following him. Tai and Mayu walk past each other but when Tai turns around and his face turned to sorrow.
Issho nara dekiru yo muteki no yuuki de
A huge Neuroi begins his attack.
But the Strike Witches destroy it immediately.
Kirakira hikaru sono namida
The Strike Witches look with smile in their faces to Wizard, who changes back to Tai, who give them a proud look and smile.
Egao no mahou de ne tsubasa ni kaetara
In front of Wizard where various figures hidden by the shadows.
Unknown to him these were also Kamen Riders, who show him their Rings.
But one of them showed a switch instead.
Kitto kitto habatakeru kara
Koyomi banishes in the air.
Tai lets a huge scream, and Dragon's Wings appear in his back.
Niji o koe sono saki made
The scene ends with Tai and the girls walking together through a meadow.
They are smiling.
As his last act, Tai takes the Philosopher Stone from his pocket.
Behind him is the image of Koyomi, who is smiling at the persona Tai has become in the end.
Tai turns to his back, but there is no one here.
And the Strike Witches hug him.
"I almost…shoot Sakamoto-san." Hijikata repeated.
"W-Why? Why did she make you do it?" Tai asked, shocked. It doesn't make any sense for someone so loyal like Hijikata to shoot their superior…especially Mio.
"B-Because her magic is running out…she just wanted to see if her magic is still strong enough." Hijikata said with a look that every person could sympathize with the poor Soldier.
"You mean when they become older." Tai conclude. He knows about the fact when he learns about it from his mentor.
Hijikata nodded.
"Sakamoto-san is alright…the bullet only grazes her face, I thought she would be angry with me but she isn't." Hijikata explained as he continued after contemplating the next word, "Nevertheless, I shouldn't shoot her in the first place...if I know it was this bad."
"Mio…" Tai said quietly. "Why she wanted to die so badly? Doesn't she have anyone worried or cared about her? Like a family or someone?"
"I heard she have a father but he perished while defending Fuso from the Neuroi." Hijikata explained, he never meet Major Sakamoto's father but he heard he was a great man.
"Sohma… I know this isn't my place to ask you after what I done but as man to man. Please save Sakamoto-san from herself!" Hijikata looked at the Ring-bearer Magician with a pleading look.
"Hijikata-san…" Tai said quietly as he looks at the Fusoian soldier before him who starts to break down in front of him; Tai have never seen a soldier broke down in his life and he feels pity at Hijikata.
"I can't even dare to look at her. When I saw her… I felt I'm the one who going to let her die again." Hijikata said. Hijikata is scared; Tai looked into Hijikata's eyes, he truly does care for his commanding officer.
"Alright, leave Mio-san to me. But you have to promise me something in return." Tai said seriously to the Fusoian Soldier, "When you have overcome your guilt, talk to Mio-san."
Hijikata surprised at Tai's request.
"You can't run away from your guilt forever Hijikata-san. I don't think committing Seppuku is worth it either. If you cared about her then you need to face up to her so you can let her know how you truly feel about her," Tai said with conform tone.
"Sohma… I don't know…"
"I know you could find your answer, Hijikata. But I find it very ironic that both of us worried about a Major who can't take care of herself properly." Tai said with a smirk.
The two men couldn't help feel strange even if they don't have anything in common; but they do worry about a certain Major with suicidal thoughts. This makes the two men somehow smiled right now.
"Thank you…" Hijikata said.
"Don't worry; I would've helped Mio anyway." Tai give a reassurance smile at Hijikata.
When Tai and Hijikata come downstairs, Koyomi was the first to saw them.
"Is everything alright?" Koyomi asked. "I heard shouts from upstairs."
The girls were a little curious when they saw the two men came downstairs.
"We only have private discussion Koyomi. Just between me and Hijikata, it's nothing serious." Tai shrugged.
"Miyafuji, I will try to find out what this letter means." Hijikata said with an assurance in his voice as he was no longer depressed but found a new determination.
"Thank you, Hijikata-san." Yoshika thanked the soldier but she can't help feeling that something is going on as Hijikata soon left for the front door.
"I-It can't be…" Yoshika looked shocked at what she heard, "Sakamoto-san is losing her magic?"
It after Hijikata leaves that Tai begin to explain what going on with Mio to Yoshika, Michiko, Shigure, and Koyomi now as he saw their faces in surprise.
"But why is Sakamoto-san's magic got weakened?" Michiko asked as she never hears anything about this before.
"When the Witches become older, they tend to lost more of their magic power. I never thought Major Sakamoto start to lose hers..." Shigure explained.
"Is there any way to help Sakamoto-san keep her magic?" Yoshika asked to the ring maker.
"I'm afraid not because the only person who had retained their magic even after they gone old will be your grandmother." Shigure said.
"Why can't Mio-san go into retirement?" Koyomi asked curious.
"Yeah. I'm meant she doesn't need to fight anymore." Michiko added to Koyomi's words.
"I don't think that would work well…" Tai said, "Mio isn't a type of person who will go down without a fight because fighting the Neuroi it's the only thing she can do in her mind right now."
"But how are we supposed to help Sakamoto-san?" Yoshika asked. She can't let Sakamoto who knew her father well just to die.
"Yoshika-chan…" Michiko said quietly as she looks at her friend.
Tai look at Yoshika then he turned toward his familiars.
"I want you three locate Mio and report to me back when you find her." Tai instructed to his Familiars and the three Familiars nodded before they soon fly out the door.
"The only thing we can do now is trying to find Mio before something happened...at least." Tai said. He got a feeling this will lead up to another Phantom attack.
(Somewhere in Fuso)
*Clank!*
Inside a house in the forest, Mio is beating down the metal with her hammer.
*Clank!*
Soon Mio puts the hot metal in water as steams were released and soon take out the sword which the blade was glowing with mana.
"It's finished." Mio declared with success.
(Next morning)
Mio left the house and was on her way returned to the military station while she was wearing a brown cloak and sword sheath hang behind her back.
Suddenly she heard familiar sound and turned to see Ghouls coming gathering around her.
"Ghouls…" Mio said. She knows what this could mean.
"We were looking for you…Mio Sakamoto." A male voice said.
Coming from above was a new Phantom and landed on the ground. The Phantom resembles a humanoid dragon and bird hybrid with bronze armor and horns on the head complemented with two wings behind his back. This is the Wyvern Phantom.
"Phantom…" Mio said as she slowly reached for her sword.
Before she could use it, she saw silver bullets hits the Ghouls and she turned to see a face, she hasn't seen for a while.
"Sohma…" Mio said.
Coming out of the forest was Tai Sohma, who was holding his WizarSwordGun already in gun mode.
"Sorry to ruin your party, Phantom-san." Tai grins as he hefted his WizarSwordGun.
"Ring-bearer Wizard…"Wyvern said.
"Sakamoto-san!" A familiar voice calls to Mio.
Mio's eyes went wide as she saw Yoshika and Michiko come running towards her.
"Miyafuji…" Mio uttered.
"I know you will appear soon enough like Medusa-sama would have anticipated it." Wyvern Phantom said.
"You girls better get out of here…" Tai said before he felt a strange sensation of energy and notices Mio was gripping the hilt of her sword.
Why do I feel like there is something strange about that katana? I need to check that out later but for now…this Phantom need to be taken care of… Tai thought as he finally snapped from his deep monologue and turns to the Phantom.
"DRIVER, ON! PLEASE"
His belt transformed into the Wizardriver and then he tilted the sides of the Driver so the hand went to his left side with a light appeared in the center of it and a tune was playing.
"SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN!"
"SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN!"
"SHABADOOBIE TOUCH TO HENSHIN!"
"Henshin." Tai said as he flipped the goggles of his Flame Style Ring down and brought his hand to the one on the belt.
"FLAME, PLEASE!"
As the chant was going a red magic circle appeared to his left. Tai places his left arm out as the circle approached him and soon he transformed into Wizard.
"Saa… Showtime daa!" Wizard said.
Wyvern Phantom got his sword and charged into battle with Wizard with his Ghouls join into the fray as well.
(Play Kamen Rider Wizard: Last Engage)
"Sakamoto-san! We need to get out of here!" Yoshika said, grabbing Mio's hand as the girls getting away from the fight.
Wizard grabbed his Wizarswordgun then pulls the trigger at the Wyvern Phantom and his Ghouls as the Ghouls were knocked out but Wyvern Phantom came straight after Wizard with a killing intent.
Wizard dodged Wyvern's swing and turned his Wizarswordgun to its sword mode and clashed with the Phantom's own weapon.
"Not bad…" Wyvern Phantom opens his mouth and fire a fireball at Wizard which sends the Kamen Rider flying backward and lying on the ground.
"I was expecting more of challenge…" Wyvern Phantom said as he saw Wizard stood up again.
"Then I will give you one." Wizard said as he switched his Flame Ring with the Land Style Ring and uses it.
"LAND! PLEASE! DODODO, DODODON! DON, DODODON!"
A yellow circle rise above Wizard and transformed him from Flame to Land form as he pulls out the Bind Ring and used it.
"BIND, PLEASE!"
When Wyvern Phantom trying to attack, he was soon chained by tough chains comes from the magic circles. Wizard disappeared to the ground then appears behind the Wyvern Phantom to attack but the Wyvern managed to break free from his binds and he uses his wings to deflect Wizard's strike and sends him back with fiery darts.
"Arghh!" Wizard groaned in pain as he landed on his back.
When the Wyvern Phantom come closer to Wizard then make a decision and turned away from him.
"Taking you out like this will be a waste of time, I will be looking for the Gate. I hope to see you there." Wyvern Phantom said. He soon spread out his wings and flying into the air.
"Wait!" Wizard said as he trying to go after the Phantom but it already disappears from the sky and Wizard slowly take a deep breath before undone his transformation.
Wizard reversed back to Tai as he surely knows that the Phantom is targeting Mio for sure. He needs to find the girls before it's too late.
(Song end)
"I will need to find Mio soon…" Tai muttered to himself and has to make sure that Mio don't do anything reckless especially when he felt something strange about her sword, its bugging him to no end.
"You seem to be frustrated, Taichi." A familiar and wise voice said.
Tai turned to see his Mentor, White Wizard who stood before him. The man who left him and Koyomi continued focusing on the job of fighting against Phantoms, the same man who takes Mayu under his wings in order to teach her magic in order to become a witch.
"Shisho…" Tai muttered which the White Wizard could hear him.
"How have you been my apprentice?" The White Wizard said at Tai with a calm voice behind his mask.
Yoshika, Mio, and Michiko were running down to the neighborhood as they tried to shook their Phantom pursuers while Tai distracts it, right now they finally halted to take a deep breath from the running.
"I think we will be alright here." Yoshika said as she catches her breath.
Without any word, Mio suddenly lets go of Yoshika's hand which surprised the young Witch.
"Sakamoto-san…" Yoshika said before she flinched at Mio's glare when the said Witch stares at the young Miyafuji.
"Miyafuji, why are you here?!" Mio asked in somewhat a mix of angry and concerned tone although the girls never realized it.
"We came here to save you from the Phantom!" Yoshika answered with Michiko nodded in agreement with her.
"You shouldn't get yourself involved in this affair Miyafuji!" Mio shouts at the young Witch.
"I wanted to because I want to help you, Sakamoto-san!" Yoshika shouts back.
"Help? You're still the same as ever…stay out of my way, Miyafuji. You're not part of the Fuso Military anymore; go back to your home Miyafuji." Mio said, turning away from Yoshika and Michiko and continue walking down the street to where the Military station is located.
"Mio isn't the type of person who will go down without a fight because fighting the Neuroi it's the only thing she can do in her mind right now." Tai's words rang in Yoshika's mind.
Is fighting all you thinking about, Sakamoto-san? Yoshika thought angry as she clenches her fist. Mio is going to dead if she goes out there when her magic is disappears.
"Yoshika-chan…" Michiko worried about her friend who shown an angry look on her face.
"I can't let it end like this…come on Michiko! We have to get to Sakamoto-san now!" Yoshika said with a hint of determination in her as she grabbed her friend's wrists and chase after the old Witch.
(With Tai)
Tai and White Wizard stares at each other before Tai spoke up.
"I felt a strange energy in Mio's sword when I got here." Tai told his teacher about Mio's sword.
"Intriguing…care to give me more details?" White Wizard asked.
"Mio is running out of magic because of her current age and I found something…weird about the sword she was carrying its still bothers me." Tai explained to his mentor.
"I see…" White Wizard said, "It seems to me that your friend is using a forbidden witch technique to create such a unique blade."
"A forbidden technique?" Tai looks confused at his mentor's explanation, but the former Digidestined of Courage is right about one thing…that is his mentor is indeed an expert in magic especially regarding the Witches.
"It's a dark secret that has been passed down by some certain Fuso Witch to their apprentice and your friend happens to be one." White Wizard told his young apprentice with in a serious voice as he continued his explanation, "To infuse her own magic into her blade and turned it into a deadly weapon. A weapon that will outmatch every blade made in the past. But she has a price to pay and that is…with her life every time she uses it which will certainly shorten her life expectancy."
Mio… what in the world is she thinking!? That is same as a Kamikaze! Didn't she notice that Hijikata and Yoshika are really concerned about her!? Did she ever consider their feelings!? I WILL have a word with her whether she'll like it or not Tai frowned at the thought, he is angry but he subside his anger as he turned to his mentor.
"Shisho…is there any possible way to restore a Witch's ability to use magic?" Tai asked with a hope that his mentor has a solution to the problem.
"I am afraid not my young apprentice," White Wizard explained and Tai seems to look disappointed, "However, I have a ring that is close to what you're looking for." But his further explanation caught Tai's attention back to him.
White Wizard soon takes out what a silver ring which is similar to an Engage Ring but with a sapphire dragon on it and show to Tai which he looked over the rings detail.
"This ring is quite different from other rings you currently use but it will help her harness the mana around her which she can use." White Wizard explained while holding onto the ring.
"But there is something I require you to do," White Wizard said as he glanced at Tai who was already listening to his request.
As Mio was about to reach to the military facilities front gate, she heard a familiar voice calling out to her again which turned only to see Yoshika and Michiko were still following her.
"Sakamoto-san!" Yoshika shout but her only reply is Mio's glare.
"Miyafuji, I told you to stay out of my way!" Mio angrily shouts at her, hoping that the young Witch back off from her.
"I won't!" Yoshika shout back. "A Phantom is after you and you only cared about fighting the Neuroi?! We want to help you!"
"Yoshika-chan is right," Michiko agreed with Yoshika, "We care about your wellbeing, Sakamoto-san because we know you're in trouble."
"What are you talking about?!" Mio raised her eyebrows in confusion on what the two young girl's words.
"We know about you losing your magic!" Yoshika said and this caused Mio eyes look surprised when she heard Yoshika's words but she returned to her angry frown on her face.
"Who told you that?!" Mio demanded to know who told Yoshika about her losing magic and will find the person who is responsible for it to teach a lesson not to mess with her private life.
Before Yoshika and Michiko spoke up, someone suddenly spoke, "I did it."
They turned around to see Tai walking alone on the street as he was looking at Mio with his eyes shows that he is furious.
"Tai-niichan." Yoshika muttered as Tai stops in front of Mio.
"Sohma…it was you! You know about what happened to me?!" Mio asked as how in the world does he know about her problem?!
"Because I will be the one to stop you from making a foolish mistake," Tai said without any hesitation in his voice.
"Foolish mistake? You still the soft as ever Sohma." Mio scoffed at him, this make Tai frowned at Mio's remark about him, the former Digidestined hasn't become this mad ever since the day where he and Yamato fought in the Digital world after Cherrymon messed with his mind and he knows he must do something to snap Mio from her suicidal tendencies out before saving her from herself.
"I want you to let go off that sword…I know that sword is taking away your life…so please dropped that sword!" Tai pleaded to Mio, hoping that she still care for her life.
"Sorry, Sohma…but I have to decline your request." Mio said.
"Mio…you BAKA!" Tai shouted as he started running after Mio.
With his feet infused with magic, Tai dashed straight toward the Fuso Witch faster than anyone including Mio to react as the Ring-bearer Kamen Rider punched Mio in the face which sends her to the ground. Yoshika and Michiko gasped at Tai's action even though Yoshika recalls seeing this happened before.
"Sa-Sakamoto-san…" Yoshika said worried.
"Yoshika, Michiko, please stay back." Tai told the two with calmed voice, Yoshika and Michiko stay back when they saw something in Tai's eyes told them to back away.
"Sohma…just stay out of this!" Mio shouted in anger, she has never been this angry at any person before especially a man in her life.
"No Mio!" Tai paused as he glared at the downed Witch, "What's the matter with you?!Have fighting the Neuroi turned you into Baka?!" Tai shouted with even more anger than Mio. It's true he won't hit girl's especially little girls, but Tai doesn't consider Mio a girl as he looked her as a complete and suprememoron of baka!
"Shut up!" Mio shout before she got up and punch Tai in the face in response, but Tai stands his ground and glares at the older witch.
"Do you really intend to fight like this?" Tai said coldly at the Witch
"Huh?" Mio stares at Tai in confusion on what he said.
"Your father…Yoshika's father…Do you think they will approve on what you're doing right now?! Are they proud to see you…?" Tai paused as he take a deep breath and shouted, "…at BECOMING SUICIDAL?!"
"How in the hell you want protect Fuso…if you can't take care yourself properly?!" Tai snapped at her.
"I will do what it takes to protect Fuso…even if it costs my life." Mio said as she cough up a little before glare at him, "And to protect this country…I will fight you if you stand in my way Sohma." Mio unsheathed her sword and looks at Tai menacingly.
"Then I will stop you before you even reach those Strikers!" Tai shouts back, this time with a concerned voice, "Because you only end up hurting people around you!"
"-!" Mio's eyes widened.
"Yoshika has already lost her father when she still doesn't know a lot about him! But despite that…she still tries to live up to her promise!" Yoshika looks at Tai with her eyes wide at how Tai described her as the Ring-bearer Magician continues, "If you feel it was your fault for not protecting Ichirou-san, then compensate it by being there for Yoshika! She still hesitates to trusting people because she's afraid that she will lose them…If you're gone, you are only doing what her father did before! Why you don't trust us to help you?! Aren't we supposed friends?!" Tai said.
"Taichi-kun…" Michiko said.
Suddenly Tai's eyes widen when he heard something coming which he immediately grabs Yoshika and Michiko out of the way from an incoming fireball.
"What moving speech Wizard…"Wyvern Phantom said as he pointed at Mio, "Now I finally found you…Gate…prepare to fall into your despair…"
Mio looks at Tai as he saves both Yoshika and Michiko from harm and she suddenly hit with a feeling of regret.
What is this I am feeling… she wonder before her thought is interrupted as she felt a punch of air out of her stomach and she looks up to see Wyvern Phantom's eyes staring at her sadistically.
"I will be taking this." The Phantom said when he took her sword.
"No…" Mio said weakly before collapsed to the floor.
"Such a nice sword." The Phantom said as he looks at Mio's sword, "But all your hard work has gone in vain before you…" Wyvern Phantom said as he crushed Mio's sword with his palm in front of Mio. The sword she has work so hard for the past week in isolation snapped into two pieces and dropped onto the floor in front of her.
"No…" Mio muttered as she suddenly felt some slight pain in her chest before moaning in pain much to Tai's shock and terror as purple cracks started forming on her body.
"S-Sakamoto-san!" Yoshika said.
"Now then it time for you fall into despair!" Wyvern Phantom laugh evilly at Mio, unknown to him that a certain furious Ring-bearer Magician are now standing and looked at him with much fury in his eye than anyone else in present.
"Kisama…you're going to pay that!" Tai shouted as he took out his Driver On ring now and puts against his driver.
"DRIVER, ON! PLEASE"
"Henshin!" Tai shout as he puts on his Flame Dragon Ring.
"HURRICANE DRAGON…!"
A magic circle with an energy dragon coming out as Tai was transformed into Kamen Rider Wizard in his Dragon Hurricane Style.
"BYU-BYU, BYU-BYU-BYU-BYU!"
Wyvern Phantom dodged Wizard's attack but he was punched in the face with a fist and tries to attack against when his sword is parried by Wyvern's wing right.
"Can't you feel it in your bones, Wizard?" Wyvern asked. "That despair coming from depth of a woman you desperately trying to protect? Soon she will be an excellent General of the Phantom!"
"I won't let that happen!" Wizard shouts at Wyvern before being broke off from their deadlock courtesy of the Wyvern's wing.
Wizard was send back as he turned and looks at Mio's Phantom scars spreading rapidly; it was getting worse for the Witch.
"Sakamoto-san!" Yoshika said as she and Michiko try to make sure that Mio is alright.
"I won't let it happen…I won't let her fall into despair…." Wizard muttered as he remembers his promise to Hijikata in saving Mio from herself and got up.
(Play Kamen Rider Wizard: Alternative)
Wizard took out his Lightning Ring now and scans his ring against his Wizardriver.
"VERY NICE, THUNDER! FABULOUS!"
A green circle appeared in front of Wizard as a lighting made dragon appeared and coming charged at Wyvern Phantom.
"That isn't going to be enough!" Wyvern Phantom shouts as he countered the lightning with a powerful fireball which result an explosion.
"That is what I think too…time to step up the ante." Wizard said as he turned into his next Dragon Style.
"WATER DRAGON…!"
Wizard soon changed from his Hurricane Dragon form to his Water Dragon form and come charging at him through the fog.
"What?!" Wyvern Phantom was caught surprised when Wizard punches him in the stomach, letting out a grunt as Wyvern tries to fly up into the sky with his wings but Wizard puts up another ring.
"VERY, NICE! BLIZZARD! FABULOUS!"
Just then a powerful cold arctic breeze hits Wyvern Phantom and freezes the Phantom alive as Wizard immediately took out his Flame Dragon Ring.
"FLAME DRAGON…! BOU-BOU, BOU-BOU-BOU!"
Wizard transformed into his Flame draconic form and pulled out the Special Ring.
"VERY NICE, SPECIAL! FABULOUS!"
With Drago Skull emerged from Wizard's chest and unleashed a roar then streams of fiery flames into the frozen Phantom now which hits the Phantom hard and send far to the ground.
"Finale!" Wizard took out his Kick Strike Ring and uses it.
"VERY NICE, KICK STRIKE! FABULOUS!"
Wizard spun around on the balls of his feet as powerful flames covered his right foot which he then flipped forward and then jumped into the air, aligned himself as he aimed at Wyvern as he was struggling to stand up.
"HA!" Wizard shouted as he shot forward as a Magic circles surrounded him he then hit and went through Wyvern leaving his magic circle as the Phantom roared in pain and exploded. The flames then put themselves out as if they were never there.
"Mio!" Wizard shouts as he run toward the girls.
"Damn it…" Mio muttered as her body starts to cracks up more with purple energy glowed over her body Mio was down on her last leg as her entire body is breaking apart.
(Song end)
"Sakamoto-san! Hang on!" Yoshika said.
"Sohma…" Mio groaned, purple cracks glowing brightly across her body, "You should…kill me now…before that…Phantom…inside me…gets out…"
"You're not dying today Mio! Not today! Not while you still have something to protect!" Wizard insisted as he reached into his cloak and he pulled out one of his Engage Wizard Rings. He then took Mio's hand gently in his hand; he can't put on the other ring for Mio yet until he gets rid of her Phantom. He slipped the ring on Mio's finger.
"What…are you doing?" Mio asked.
"Just leave everything to me…I'll be the Final hope you need." Wizard said as he reset his belt and put her hand sported the Engage Ring over the Hand Author.
"ENGAGE, PLEASE!"
Wizard gently lay Mio down on the ground before a magic circle appeared over her body and Wizard then stepped as allowed himself to pass through the circle and began falling through it into Mio's Underworld.
(Mio's Underworld)
Wizard looked around as he trying to know his surroundings and noticed it is a giant laboratory with machines as he assumed that he was somewhere in some military research facility if his knowledge was right.
"So this is her Underworld."The Ring user said but can't help feeling a little curious. Still, he was on the hunt for a Phantom and he didn't have time to dawdle when he heard the sound of glass cracking and he saw the source cracks on the scenery shattered like glass to reveal a purple void, and something else struggle to come out behind it, it was Mio's inner Phantom.
Wizard came upon a room where the Phantom was struggling to break out into Mio's Underworld. He can't believe what he is seeing.
"Mio-chan, come here…" a male voice said.
"Do you wished to see me, Dr. Miyafuji?" a childish voice asked.
Standing before Wizard was Ichiro Miyafuji, Yoshika's father who is wearing a lab coat and eye glasses with an ID Access card showing his status as a scientist. Across from him was a young girl in a military uniform with light skin and long black hair.
"Mio…as a child?" Wizard couldn't help but blinked; she looked so innocent than the serious, militaristic Mio he knew in the real world…
*SMASH*
The veil of the Underworld finally gave away as the Phantom burst free, snarling for the entire world to see.
From the waist down, it looks like a black mechanical spider legs with pincers. The torso was covered in red shogun armor, with gold that was embedded on the skin and trails of blood red fabric hanging from the waist. The head of the inner Phantom was wearing a red Kabuto helmet with its demonic green eyes stared down at Wizard with animalistic malice.
"Is that a Tsuchigumo?" Wizard frowned as he observed the Phantom, "But why does it have shogun armor on it?"
The Tsuchigumo bellowed and stares at Wizard, unleashed an energy web from the spider part which forced to Wizard leap away, the energy web exploded where he stood as it leaving more purple cracks in the ground.
Skidding to a halt Wizard sighed; his armor starts to glow, "Ikuze, Dragon."
Wizard reversed back into his Flame Style and unleashed his own Phantom into Mio's Underworld, the Dragon Phantom snarled and charged at the Tsuchigumo Phantom, blasting a stream of fire as it went. The Tsuchigumo retaliated, launching another energy web from its beast mouth and the two attacks collided into a fiery explosion, but it didn't stop the two from colliding with each other, sending both tumbling to the ground in a heap, causing more damage to the Underworld.
"Not good…" Wizard said as he swapping out another ring, he activated it.
"CONNECT, PLEASE!"
Bringing out another magic circle, Wizard pulled out his Machine Winger and mounted it. Gunning the engine, he raced towards the scene of battle between Dragon and Tsuchigumo. The Tsuchigumo Phantom is having an advantage; with his articulated arms manage to grab the Wizardragon by the throat, pushing it back before slamming its face with a power punch, then sending it stumbling to the ground.
"Hang on, Dragon!" Wizard called out as he increasing his speed, he hit a rock in the path and launched himself into the air. Machine Winger splits apart and attached to Wizardragon's back.
"Now let's do this right this time Dragon!" Wizard called as he twisted the handlebars.
Wizardragon roared and took to the sky once again but Tsuchigumo Phantom growled and shot more energy webs at its opponent, trying to capture them.
Unfortunately for the Phantom, Wizard's control and Wizardragon's speed allows them to dodge the webs and draws in closer. Once the pair was close enough, Wizard twisted his handles, Wizardragon attack with stream of hot flame directly at Tsuchigumo Phantom causing the Spider like monster screamed in pain, its legs catching fire. The Phantom thrashed and screamed, across the Underworld, making even more purple cracks appeared. The Tsuchigumo tries to get away, but its legs were crippled thanks to Wizardragon's fire.
"Now we have the finisher!" Wizard nodded to himself as he swaps out for a new ring on his ring hand and activating it.
"VERY NICE, KICK STRIKE! FABULOUS!"
The Machine Winger, Wizardragon, and Wizard himself separated from each other high in the air. The Dragon dove down first as it transformed into a giant draconian claw again. The machine Winger then connected to the top before Wizard came down and struck the top with a kick, creating a flaming image of him wearing the dragon as a boot. All three dove down with the force of a meteor which came upon the screaming Tsuchigumo Phantom and the massive attack smashed into the Phantom, causing it to explode.
Leaping off his Phantom, Wizard took note that the cracks in the Underworld vanished and allowed the memory to begin playing again.
"Mio-chan! The Striker has been complete."
Wizard turned, spotting the Chibi-Mio looking at her completed Striker.
"With this, we will have a chance against the Neuroi." Ichiro explained, "I entrusted you t be our first pilot Mio-chan." Ichiro gives a fatherly smile at Chibi-Mio.
"I will try my best, Dr. Miyafuji!" Chibi-Mio smiled in same way as Yoshika did.
Wizard stares at the man who is Ichiro Miyafuji with an odd look, there still a lot about this man he still doesn't quite understand.
What is going on with you and the Neuroi? Wizard thought to himself as he turned to exit from Mio's Underworld.
Yoshika and Michiko watches as the purple cracks running on Mio's body began to disappear. Mio sat up and couldn't believe what has happened to her. As she pulled herself to her feet, a red magic circle appeared next to her, ejecting Wizard on the back of his machine from her Underworld and back into the real world.
"That was a close one…" Michiko breathes in relief.
But Mio didn't response.
"Sakamoto-san…" Yoshika said.
"Miyafuji… I'm truly sorry," Mio apologizes to the surprising Yoshika, "I was doing the same thing as your father when he left you…"
"Sakamoto-san…?"
"Let me finish," Mio began to confess her past, "When I lost my father during the Neuroi war… I thought I have nothing before I meet your father. He gave my life back by fighting but losing my benefactor when I can't even save him… is unforgettable. It still haunts me to this day."
"Miyafuji, you better off with Sohma..." Mio said. "If your father has a chance to meet him, he would've approved him to protecting you rather than me. He is a better warrior than I ever can be."
Wizard got off his bike and undid his transformation then reversal back to Tai.
"Mio…" Tai said.
"Sohma, I entrust the responsible of looking after Miyafuji to—"
Tai slapped Mio on the face to the surprise of everyone including Mio.
"You idiot!" Tai said. "Do you think we're going to let you run off and do nothing?"
"Sohma…" Mio muttered his name quietly while staring at him.
Tai sighed and taking out the ring that his mentor gave to him and immediately grabbed Mio's other hand and puts the ring on Mio's other finger.
"What is that?" Michiko asked, with a hint of jealousy at first seeing Tai put the ring onto Mio's finger.
"This ring will help you prevent from losing anymore magic." Tai said which immediately shoots down Michiko's jealousy when she heard the function of that ring.
"Sohma…" Mio said as she couldn't believe what she hearing and look at the ring in her other hand. This ring is quite different from Tai's usual rings and she could already felt something different about this ring. Needless to say, Mio was surprised.
"Tai-niichan, where did you get it?" Yoshika asked, curious about the ring on Mio's other hand.
"Well, I have a talk with my mentor since he is the type of person who is an expert on this kind of magic." Tai explained, "I'm not exactly sure how the ring will work but he did mentioned that you can gather the mana from your surroundings with this ring."
"Really? Does that mean she still can use magic?" Michiko asked to which Tai gives a nod before picking up the broken pieces of Mio's sword.
"I will be taking this." Tai said.
"What are you doing with my sword?" Mio asked as she is curious to why Tai wanted that broken sword.
"My mentor wants something in exchange for the ring." Tai said as he thought back to what White Wizard says.
(Flashback)
"I am afraid not my young apprentice," White Wizard explained and Tai seems to look disappointed, "However, I have a ring that is close to what you're looking for." But his further explanation caught Tai's attention back to him.
White Wizard soon takes out what a silver ring which is similar to an Engage Ring but with a sapphire dragon on it and show to Tai which he looked over the rings detail.
"This ring is quite different from other rings you currently use but it will help her harness the mana around her which she can use." White Wizard explained while holding onto the ring.
"But there is something I require you to do," White Wizard said as he glanced at Tai who is already listening to his request.
"In exchange for the ring, I want you to retrieve a fragment of the sword from Mio Sakamoto." White Wizard explained.
Tai looks surprised at his mentor.
"It's just out of my curiosity on how a Witch like Mio Sakamoto able to learn such an interesting technique," White Wizard explained, "I wished to see how the sword works. A sword like that shouldn't exist; it will only bring destruction to its user and those around them."
(Flashback end)
Tai suddenly make a whistle sound as his Garuda Familiar appears before him.
"I want you to find Shisho and give him this as in return for the ring." Tai said, handing the fragment piece to Garuda Familiar.
"Oh and send also my thanks to Shisho too Garuda." Tai added as the Garuda Familiar gives a nod before Tai watches it flying off to the sky.
"Sohma… I," Mio said as he turned to her, "Thank you for saving my life and giving me a chance to fly and fight again."
"It's nothing Mio." Tai crossed his arms and smiled, "After all…I just snapped you out of that crazy suicidal thought and besides if you need help again, you could've just ask than try to die alone." This caused Mio to have a surprised looks on her face when she hears Tai's words.
"Yeah Sakamoto-san, we be there to help." Yoshika said.
"Thank you, Miyafuji…Taichi." Mio said. "I will be forever in your debt."
"No thanks. I don't want anything to do with debt." Tai said.
"What?!" Mio and the girls look disbelief.
"It's against my policy as Kamen Rider to make people felt in debt to them. We're the guardians behind the masks; we don't take advantage of people by saving their lives." Tai explained to the girls.
"But… you-" Mio said before Tai cuts off.
"I only did because I kept a promise…and you deserved getting punch in the face for being a complete baka." Tai chuckled.
This make Mio's face turned red as she become furious at Tai.
"You still called me an idiot? I see you're still completely acted more like a child to respect your elders as ever." Mio said.
"So you finally admit you're getting old?" Tai grinned at Mio which Yoshika and Michiko finally knew what he meant and gasped at what Tai's words.
This infuriated Mio more than before…
"Taichi, one day I will make you eat your own words…I swear my life on it!" Mio shook her head and vowed that she will get her revenge on Tai for being extremely disrespectful towards her and causing her to face humiliation as a Witch twice before paying her debt to him, but for now…this isn't the right time, Mio will get her opportunity soon...
"I would like to see you try," Tai amused by her vow for revenge on him in which he laughed again.
Yoshika sighed as she and Michiko watches the scene before them.
"Michiko-chan, can you promise me something?" Yoshika asked.
"Yes?" Michiko looks curious at her friend.
"Don't ever become too much like Tai-niichan." Yoshika said which caused Michiko to laugh nervously.
(In the nearby forest)
Garuda Familiar flying in the sky and find the person its master was looking for.
The White Wizard let out his arm and the Garuda Familiar landed on his arm as he takes out the large fragment of Mio's blade from the Garuda familiar.
"Well done, you can return to your partner now and told him that he have my gratitude." White Wizard said as he knows Tai will keep his words for the ring.
The Garuda Familiar soon flies off into the air as the White Wizard watches it before leaving the area.
Hijikata is talking with another military official about something as there seriousness in their eyes now.
"Are you certain?" Hijikata asked.
"From Gallia" The soldier said, "To: All commanders in the allied forces. Neurois suddenly appeared over Venezia yesterday. They are far more powerful than the previous ones and took Venezia the very same day. The 504th Joint Fighter Wing protecting northern Romagna skirmished with them, but suffered major damage and can no longer fight."
Hijikata have a shock of disbelief looks when heard about the new especially 504th Joint Fighter Wing.
"Romagna's 504th Joint Fighter Wing?!" Hijikata said to the soldier. "Witches from the Fuso Navy are in that unit!"
To be continued…
